Authors: Demina Demina , Yulia fista Lara , Irma yuri Keken
Published: September 2023

Indonesia semakin lama semakin berkembang tidak hanya dengan sumber dayanya saja, teknologinya pun semakin berkembang, termasuk dibidang pendidikan. Sehingga pemerintah menerapkan kebijakan Pendidikan di Masa Darurat Penyebaran Virus Corona. Hal tersebut untuk mengantisipasi penyebaran virus corona di sekolah. Salah satu cara yang ditekankan oleh pemerintah yaitu dengan melaksanakan proses pembelajaran daring agar terhindar dari penyebaran virus corona atau covid 19. Pembelajaran dilakukan dari rumah dengan menggunakan gadget seperti laptop, komputer, atau smartphone disertai dengan berbagai aplikasi yang mendukung proses pembelajaran. Tetapi, pembelajaran online yang telah dilaksanakan sejak pandemi Covid-19 mengalami beberapa kendala atau hambatan yang dihadapi oleh pelajar dan pendidik. Kita tidak menyadari bahwa teori strategi pembelajaran selama ini kebanyakan hanya berkutat pada proses pembelajaran konvensional (tatap muka). Sehingga pada saat terjadi fenomena darurat pada masa pendemi ini maka strategi pembelajaran tidak akan berjalan efektif dan efisien. Di sini, pembelajaran jarak jauh dengan menggunakan media online dirasakan masyarakat memberatkan mahasiswa dengan mengalokasikan dana khusus untuk pembelian paket mahal

Synthesizing Institutional and Value Approaches to Modernization
Authors:   Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Pliskevich N. M.
Published: September 2023

Scholars studying modernization processes often engage in debates between those who follow institutional paradigms and those who emphasize values, with each camp strongly advocating for its approach. However, the complex interplay of modernization changes, involving technology, institutions, and sociocultural aspects, points to the natural connection between these approaches. This article intends to explore moder­nization issues through the works of prominent advocates from both perspectives. By analyzing texts written by the leading figures in both paradigms, the author shows that their research consistently converges on one key area: the sociocultural dimension of social development. The article highlights that the success of social deve­lopment relies on aligning technology, institutions, and culture, often referred to as society’s techno-humanita­rian balance. This balance, crucial for stability, harmonizes technological progress with cultural and psycholo­gical control. Special attention is paid to the issues of value configurations in society, which is not a uniform entity but a combination of various value groups. The ability to construct an institutional environment that meets modernization needs depends on the power balance within these groups. It is particularly important to highlight the problem of value group configurations within elites, as they have the most significant impact on the evolution of the society’s institutional structure. In institutional development, this holds particular significance: on the one hand, elites must seek consensus within society to prevent rejection or distortion of the introduced institutions. On the other hand, despite all the compromises they have to make in this process, elites must adhere to a shared path of modernization that matches evolving technological needs. Society members should have a high level of education not only in instrumental skills but also in the humanities, which will ensure strategic stability in socio-economic development.
СТРУКТУРНІ ЕЛЕМЕНТИ ТА ЗМІСТОВІ АСПЕКТИ РОЗВИТКУ АРТИСТИЧНИХ ЗДІБНОСТЕЙ У МОЛОДШИХ ШКОЛЯРІВ НА ЗАНЯТТЯХ З ХОРЕОГРАФІЇ

Published: September 2023

Статтю присвячено проблемі розвитку артистичних здібностей у дітей молодшого шкільного віку засобами танцю. Мета статті полягає в з’ясуванні структурних елементів артистичних здібностей у молодших школярів на заняттях з хореографії та виокремленні інструментарію для визначення рівнів їх сформованості. У статті акцентовано увагу на тому, що для формування творчої особистості школяра важливу роль відіграє розвиток в нього артистизму через художні образи, з яких складається танець, добір рухів, витончену пластику та музичний супровід. Розвиток артистичних здібностей дітей молодшого шкільного віку на заняттях з хореографії здійснюється на основі ритміко-пластичного та психологічного компонентів. У статті зазначено, що спостереження проводилося на матеріалі діяльності зразкового ансамблю сучасного та спортивного танцю «Ірбіс» (м. Черкаси). Це дало змогу розробити інструментарій для визначення рівнів сформованості артистичних здібностей молодших школярів на заняттях з хореографії. Рівень сформованості ритміко-пластичного компонента пов'язаний з будовою суглобів і властивостями м'язів. З огляду на це були використані тести для оцінки рухливості суглобів, які включали комплекс найпростіших контрольних вправ: гнучкість плечового суглоба; гнучкість хребта; гнучкість в тазобедреному суглобі. Крім того, для визначення рівня розвитку пластики рухів учнів творчого колективу підібрано спеціальні тести, такі як: «танцювальний» крок, оберти, танцювальна доріжка вперед з восьми рахунків. Також для вивчення музичної ритміки дітей використовувалися логоритмічні вправи, завдання та ігри, які включали: крокування на місці і по четвертях; визначення рівня управління м’язовим тонусом і уваги; розвиток дрібної та великої моторики; визначення рівня розвитку відчуття музичного такту. Для виявлення рівня емоційно-сенсорного потенціалу дітей визначали відповідність розвинутих здібностей трьом рівням (високий, середній, низький). Зазначено, що артистизм виступає оптимальною моделлю динамічних проявів особистості в її діяльності, а заняття хореографією сприяють розвитку художніх здібностей у дітей молодшого шкільного віку.
ScholarOne - The Year I Found My Voice: The Impact of a Transformational Women’s Leadership Development Program on Communicating with Confidence
Authors: Herbst Tessie H H , Roux Therese , Naidoo Vinessa
Published: September 2023

Women-only leadership development program are crucial in addressing the global gender gap on senior management levels. Yet, there is a paucity of research related to the impact of these programs. This study explores the impact of a transformational women’s development program on the self-confidence of female academics in a higher education institution in South Africa. This was addressed in this mixed method study via a quantitative component to determine whether there is a significant difference in women leaders’ ability to communicate with confidence and a subsequent qualitative component offering insights on their experiences in the process of learning new behaviour patterns. The quantitative findings suggest that the program had a significant effect on the three Communicating with Confidence constructs measured namely, point of view, presence, and preparation, and as such, was effective in fostering transformational change. The qualitative component demonstrated how the women leaders in the program experienced the process of learning new behaviour patterns in four phases of transformational learning moving from i) Encountering a disorienting dilemma, ii) Meaning making, iii) Achievement of Transformational insight and iv) Connecting insight to leadership practice. Recommendations for future research and guidance to effectively develop, evaluate, and implement leadership programs for women in higher education are presented. It, therefore, makes a valuable contribution to women-only research in the field of leadership development.
UBE2J is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 J2, encoded by UBE2J2, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. UBE2J2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of UBE2J2 in primary tumors was correlated with distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of UBE2J2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Authors: Coppe Thibault
Published: September 2023

Les travaux de recherche rapportés dans cette contribution font écho aux réflexions actuelles des décideurs politiques et des chercheurs relatives au recrutement d’enseignants de deuxième carrière pour pallier la pénurie grandissante d’enseignants dans nos écoles. Partant du constat que peu de considération est accordée à leur processus d’insertion professionnelle, qui s’avère particulièrement complexe, cet écrit relate l’avancée d’une thèse de doctorat interrogeant conjointement les questions d’attraction et de rétention de ces enseignants particuliers. Ce faisant, ce travail ambitionne de dégager des réflexions tant conceptuelles que pratiques dont les décideurs responsables de la compétence de l’enseignement en Fédération Wallonie- Bruxelles pourront se saisir pour mettre en place des politiques de recrutement et de rétention durables pour ces enseignants particuliers.

TTYH3 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of TTYH3 in primary tumors, however, was not correlated with patient survival outcomes. Modulation of TTYH3 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Fake News!
Authors: Weatherall James O. , O'Connor Cailin
Published: September 2023

We review several topics of philosophical interest connected to misleading online content. First we consider proposed definitions of different types of misleading content. Then we consider the epistemology of misinformation, focusing on approaches from virtue epistemology and social epistemology. Finally we discuss how misinformation is related to belief polarization, and argue that models of rational polarization present special challenges for conceptualizing fake news and misinformation.
A Model of Agential Learning Using Active Inference
Authors: Pitliya Riddhi Jain , Murphy Robin
Published: September 2023

Agential learning refers to the process of forming beliefs re- garding one’s degree of control over actions and outcomes in their en- vironment. We first provide an overview and evaluation of associative, statistical, and Bayesian models of agential learning. We then argue that the existing models have limitations in explaining the process of agential learning. Finally, we introduce an active inference account of agential learning, and present results from simulations. We propose that the ac- tive inference framework may provide a comprehensive model of agen- tial learning describing three fundamental processes: (i) perception, (ii) learning, and (iii) action.
Never Miss a Beep: Using Mobile Sensing to Investigate (Non-)Compliance in Experience Sampling Studies
Authors: Reiter Thomas , Schoedel Ramona
Published: September 2023

Given the increasing number of studies in various disciplines using experience sampling methods, it is important to examine compliance biases because related patterns of missing data could affect the validity of research findings. In the present study, a sample of 592 participants and more than 25,000 observations were used to examine whether participants responded to each specific questionnaire within an experience sampling framework. More than 400 variables from the three categories of person, behavior, and context, collected multi-methodologically via traditional surveys, experience sampling, and mobile sensing, served as predictors. When comparing different linear (logistic and elastic net regression) and non-linear (random forest) machine learning models, we found indication for compliance bias: response behavior was successfully predicted. Follow-up analyses revealed that study-related past behavior, such as previous average experience sampling questionnaire response rate, was most informative for predicting compliance, followed by physical context variables, such as being at home or at work. Based on our findings, we discuss implications for the design of experience sampling studies in applied research and future directions in methodological research addressing experience sampling methodology and missing data.
Eye tracking evidence for the reinstatement of emotionally negative and neutral memories
Authors: Brooks Paula Pacheco , Guzman Brigitte , Kensinger Elizabeth , Norman Kenneth A , Ritchey Maureen
Published: September 2023

Recent eye tracking studies have linked gaze reinstatement—when eye movements from encoding are reinstated during retrieval—with memory performance. In this study, we investigated whether gaze reinstatement is influenced by the affective salience of information stored in memory, using an adaptation of the emotion-induced memory trade-off paradigm. Participants learned word-scene pairs, where scenes were composed of negative or neutral objects located on the left or right side of neutral backgrounds. This allowed us to measure gaze reinstatement during scene memory tests based on whether people looked at the side of the screen where the object had been located. Across two experiments, we behaviorally replicated the emotional memory trade-off effect, in that negative object memory was better than neutral object memory at the expense of background memory. Furthermore, we found evidence that gaze reinstatement was related to recognition memory for the object and background scene components. This effect was generally comparable for negative and neutral memories, although the effects of valence varied somewhat between the two experiments. Together, these findings suggest that gaze reinstatement occurs independently of the processes contributing to the emotion-induced memory trade-off effect.

Background: Adolescence is a critical period for mental health; a significant portion of mental health disorders emerge during this time. Social exclusion represents the absence of opportunities for full participation in society and is a key determinant of mental health. This study aimed to better understand the help-seeking experiences of young people facing co-occurring social exclusion and mental ill-health focusing on where young people sought support, barriers they had experienced in seeking such support, and their preferences for mental health supports.Methods. Data from the 2022 Mission Australia Youth Survey (N=18,800) were analysed, from a subset of 9,743 young people aged 15-19 who reported having needed mental health support. Self-response to questions regarding four domains of social exclusion (housing, finances, relational, education/employment), demographic characteristics, psychological distress and help-seeking behaviours (perceived need, mental health supports, barriers to access, preferences) were included. Relationships between social exclusion domains, mental health concerns and help-seeking behaviours (access, barriers and preferences) were explored using logistic regression models controlling for demographic factors and psychological distress.Results. Only 58.1% of participants reported having sought mental health support (n=5,565). Social exclusion domains were associated with different help-seeking behaviours. Housing challenges were associated with higher help-seeking (OR:1.28; 95%CI: 1.15-1.42); relational difficulties and edu-employment issues with lower (OR:0.75; 95%CI: 0.68, 0.83 and OR:0.82; 95%CI: 0.75, 0.89). Stigma, confidentiality concerns, cost, and not knowing where to seek help were common barriers to help-seeking, with those experiencing social exclusion more likely to report these. Young people generally preferred face-to-face support, but those facing relational difficulties were more open to online support.Conclusions. This study highlights the additional needs and challenges faced by young people dealing with both social exclusion and mental ill-health. The barriers to seeking help are stronger for these young people and more concerted efforts to reduce stigma, improve mental health literacy, and increase access to trusted information sources, need to be developed to address these barriers. Further research and initiatives need to focus on the structural factors that socially exclude young people and exacerbate inequitable access to mental health services.

Evolving a Model of Critical Pedagogy to Deconstruct the Hegemonic Culture of the Conventional Teacher Centered Social Studies Classroom
Authors: Shah Rajendra Kumar
Published: September 2023

Hegemony is a dominant ideology widely used in the educational field. But its adherents do not seem to be aware of its influence. When I encountered this ideology, I became excited and went back to the experiences I gained while studying social studies at the school level and the experiences I gained while teaching social studies at the school level. I carried out this study by incorporating my own experiences and the experiences of three renowned professors of social studies who have experienced hegemonic culture in their conventional teacher centered classroom. Art-based critical auto-ethnographic research methodology has been adopted in this study. In this research, I identified six different aspects of cultural hegemony that negatively impacted my social studies experiences, namely: traditional teaching methods; curriculum content; teacher domination; competitive assessment; perfectionism; poor classroom environment. Another important aspect of this study is that I have also identified the fundamental aspects of critical pedagogy that I experienced while studying and teaching at school, namely transformative teachers, encouraging students to have a critical voice, using new forms of knowledge, and emphasizing ethics as central. The result of this academic self-study is a far-reaching strategy for transforming the teaching of social studies. This strategy is divided into three steps i.e. before the implementation of the lesson, implementation of the lesson, and reflection. The second step of this strategy is the implementation phase. The implemented step can be divided in five sections such as structured overview and group formation, community contact and critical analysis, open dialogue for active engagement, confronting power and exposing hegemony, and evaluation of the whole process. This vision can be adapted and implemented by innovative teachers who want to enliven their social studies classrooms with more relevant, meaningful and stimulating learning experiences.
ARTEMIS ACCORDS – A NEW ERA OF SPACE LAW OR AN INITIATIVE OF THE WORLD’S SUPERPOWER?
Authors: Matusiak Michał
Published: September 2023

The article below addresses the Artemis Accords. It is a non-binding act by which its signatories adopted a set of principles for space exploration. Even though it is not an international treaty, it is a controversial issue. The author presents the Artemis Accords against the background of international agreements, soft-law and domestic regulations, aiming to answer the question of their revolutionary character and of them being an agreement between states that strive for a common goal. Firstly, the author presents the problem of space mining and the related possibilities. There are numerous benefits from this new branch of economy, but there is also a risk of global conflict on the ground of a race for space resources. After this, the author presents the state of affairs of international law and tries to draw crucial conclusions on the subject of space mining. The last part of the paper is devoted to an analysis of the Artemis Accords as a non-binding agreement between states and as a new platform which allows the launch of a new era of conquest of outer space. At the end the author presents his opinion on the Artemis Accords as an instrument of a new space policy of world’s superpower and its allies.
THE EUROPEAN INTERPARLIAMENTARY SPACE CONFERENCE – THE WAY TO INFLUENCE THE SPACE LAW AND POLICIES IN POLAND
Authors: Wontor Bogusław
Published: September 2023

The article presents the European Interparliamentary Space Conference as an interesting and effective way to collaborate on space law. It shows the path that needs to be followed to join the European Interparliamentary Space Conference. The presentation of its activities is assessed in light of the space governance concept. The European Interparliamentary Space Conference affects the creation of law by national parliaments and the legal regulations of European institutions working for space. It also affects law-making by the European Parliament and the European Commission. The article assesses the role of the European Interparliamentary Space Conference as an actor in the European space arena. It evaluates the ability of the EISC to determine a common strategy for Europe’s space activity, the shape of its space policy, and the directions of the European space industry integration. The history of Poland in the EISC is presented, and the assessment of Polish activities in the forum is characterized. Conclusions underline that the EISC is a significant actor in the space sector in Europe. Moreover, Polish participation in the activities of the ESIC should be more visible, especially at the national level.
Electrical Hazards and the Cardiologist

The cardiologist has been concerned with electronics since the invention of the electrocardiograph. Unfortunately, however, his knowledge of the inner function and potential hazard of his equipment comes after the fact: after he has purchased his equipment and it is installed. Long before it arrives, in fact before the specific type of apparatus has been chosen, he should have studied all of the problems concerned.
The Surgeon’s Light
Authors: Beck William C.
Published: September 2023

Since the introduction of electric light, special lighting has been available to the surgeon. Before that time, daylight reached the surgical operation through the skylights or through bay windows (oriels) built as an overhang from the hospital wall. Because of the need for daylight, operating rooms were located on the top floor of the hospital and thus, architectural psychophysics still relate all operating room illumination to daylight entering the room from above. Daylight is so variable, however, that we must speak of the sun’s rays at high noon in the winter, high noon in the summer, or even as daylight in the northern or southern hemisphere. All are variable manifestations of this wonderful source of natural illumination.

In attempting to secure an ideal therapeutic result, it is insufficient to have a physician or surgeon armed with the most modern diagnostic and therapeutic knowledge and armamentarium. The patient must also have the knowledge of how to cope with his situation and the insight to want to help. The educational process begins in developing an awareness in the patient to signs and symptoms which urge him to seek medical aid. Various agencies have admirably succeeded in this process. The very widespread knowledge of the seven danger signals of impending or present cancer taught through a wide variety of media and by direct contact of the American Cancer Society volunteers attest to the efficiency of these educational broadsides. Unfortunatelly, the educational effort stops at this point.

كيف تدرّس مادة العلاقات الدولية في بلدان العالم العربي؟ وما الذي يطرأ على العلاقات الدولية التي تُعدُّ "علمًا اجتماعيًا أميركيًا" عندما تدخل إلى الفصول الدراسية في البلدان العربية، وتُدرّس باللغة العربية؟ على الرغم من هيمنة النظريات ذات الأصول الغربية على مناهج تدريس مادة العلاقات الدولية وأساليبها في بلدان العالم العربي، فإن هناك توترًا مُتزايدًا بين تلبية الفهم المكوّن لدى الطلّاب من خلال الاعتماد على النظريات الكلاسيكية، بصفتها خطوة أولى للمساهمة في إنتاج المعرفة من ناحية، وتكييف هذا الفرع المعرفي مع الظروف السياسية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية المحيطة في مناطق العالم المختلفة من ناحية أخرى. تتناول هذه الدراسة طبيعة تدريس مادة العلاقات الدولية في الجامعات العربية، وكيفية تباين طرق تدريس المقاربات النظرية للعلاقات الدولية: يشمل ذلك شرح النظريات الغربية وتطبيقها، أو مراجعة بعض منها، أو تقديم مقاربات بديلة منها. وتشير الدراسة إلى أنّ ممارسات التدريس تتمتع بمرونة وتنوع أكثر من مجمل الإنتاج المعرفي في الدوريات العلمية الرائدة. لذا، فالتدريس قد يصبح نقطة الانطلاق لإنتاجٍ نظريٍّ جديدٍ يعكس، على نحو أفضل، واقع العلاقات الدولية في العالم العربي.

Crown lengthening surgery is a common periodontal procedure carried out to increase the amount of tooth exposure for aesthetic or restorative purposes. It is crucial for clinicians to understand the effect of crown lengthening surgery on the periodontal tissues to prevent relapse or over treatment. Even though various clinical parameters have been used by researchers in the past to quantify the amount of suprastructure exposed, the use of digital technology has not been widely adopted. The aim of this case series was to evaluate the changes in periodontal tissue after crown lengthening surgery with both clinical and digital approaches. This case series included five patients who underwent surgery at the Postgraduate Periodontics Clinic at the University of Otago over the period of six months. Clinical parameters such as probing depth, gingival recession, keratinised tissue height, plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, crown height, gingival phenotype, and bone height were measured with a customised probing stent at baseline and 1-, 3-, and 6-month post-surgery. Digital impressions were also taken along with the clinical parameters to measure the volumetric changes. Most significant changes were observed in crown exposure, gingival recession and bone levels, followed by probing depth reduction for treated sites. Minimal changes were seen for the width of keratinised tissues, plaque levels and gingival scores. Volumetric changes were only significantly reduced after 6 months of healing. This case series found that crown lengthening resulted in an increase in tooth exposure and a reduction in tissue volume. Volumetric changes measured through sequential digital impressions were also comparable to clinical findings.

The world over, mental illness is a serious issue. Many people use the social media that may affect their mental health positively, but often result in negative sentiments. This research aims to determine an individual's mental state based on their social media behavior on Twitter. We analysed a dataset including 170000 real tweets by using natural language processing and machine learning techniques. Decision tree, support vector machine, and recurrent neural network (RNN) were used for classifying twitter users, to detect if they are in positive or negative mental state. These models were compared to determine which approach provides more accurate detection of a positive/negative mental state. Then, the RNN yielded the highest accuracy 0.76 among the models, with the precision, recall, and the F_1 score being 0.75, 0.74, and 0.75, respectively. The truncated singular value decomposition was also utilised to visualise the high-dimensional feature space of the data.

Published: September 2023

In today’s interconnected world, parents and children face cyber safety and security issues and are exposed to cyber threats. During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, cyber safety and security cases are on the rise affecting people of all ages. During the movement control orders (MCO), children were given electronic gadgets to participate in online learning. Although there is no MCO and online learning anymore, children are still reliant on these gadgets, affecting their studies, health and safety. This study covers cyber threats that are happening to children and what can parents do about such threats to protect their children. It proposes educating parents about cyber safety and security through a web-based application prototype. Surveys were done to understand the actual cyber threats that were faced by both parents and children in order to collect user requirements for the development of the prototype. Findings suggest that such applications can help parents to recognise cyber threats that can happen to their children. The developed prototype may guide parents to implement cyber safety and security controls and protect their children from cyber threats such as cyberbullying, sexual grooming and gaming disorder.

Published: September 2023

The recent revolution in Industry 4.0 (IR 4.0) has characterized the integration of advance technologies to bring the fourth industrial revolution to scale the manufacturing landscape. There are different key drivers for this revolution, in this research we have explored the following among them such as, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Deep Learning, Blockchain and Augmented Reality. The emerging concept from blockchain namely “Non-Fungible Token” (NFT) relating to the uniqueness of digital assets has vast potential to be considered for physical assets identification and authentication in the IR 4.0 scenario. Similarly, the data acquired through the deployment of IIoT devices and sensors into smart industry spectrum can be transformed to generated robust analytics for different industry use-cases. The predictive maintenance is a major scenario in which early equipment failure detection using deep learning model on acquired data from IIoT devices has major potential for it. Similarly, the augmented reality can be able to provide real-time visualization within the factory environment to gather real-time insight and analytics from the physical equipment for different purposes. This research initially conducted a survey to analyse the existing developments in these domains of technologies to further widen its horizon for this research. This research developed and deployed a smart contract into an ethereum blockchain environment to simulate the use-case for NFT for physical assets and processes synchronization. The next phase was deploying deep learning algorithms on a dataset having data generated from IIoT devices and sensors. The Feedforward and Convolutional Neural Network were used to classify the target variables in relation with predictive maintenance failure analysis. Lastly, the research also proposed an AR based framework for the visualization ecosystem within the industry environment to effectively visualize and monitory IIoT based equipment’s for different industrial use-cases i.e., monitoring, inspection, quality assurance.

Medical image classification is an essential task in clinical practice and research. It enables medical professionals to be assisted in diagnosing medical conditions accurately and efficiently, leading to improved patient outcomes and survival rates. However, traditional manual interpretation methods for diagnosing medical images have some drawbacks. Firstly, imbalanced medical images often exhibit a significant disparity in the number of samples across different classes, posing challenges in training accurate and robust models that can effectively learn from limited data in the minority class while avoiding biases towards the majority class. Secondly, the limited availability of labelled data will put a further load on the healthcare system, as labelling medical images is a time-consuming and resource-intensive task, often requiring expert knowledge. This paper proposed a generative adversarial network (GAN) with the purpose of improving the limitations associated with the imbalanced distribution of medical images. Based on the experiments conducted, it shows that the proposed model exhibits a high level of accuracy for two-class labelled dataset, with a low performance for the skin cancer dataset due to number of the labelled dataset is more than two
