Advancing Industries with AI: The applications being transformational include: Healthcare, powering the Petroleum industry, Handling fraud, Cybersecurity, and Conversational AI
Authors: Ali Mohammad
Published: December 2024

Today, AI is becoming integrated into more and more sectors of human activity, providing new approaches to a number of traditional problems, and improving multiple aspects of business and industrial processes, decision-making, and customer interactions. This paper explores the applications of AI across five key sectors: health care, petroleum, fraud detection, cybersecurity, and conversational designing. Using AI in healthcare, diagnostics and treatment have been transformed together with improvement of patients’ care, early disease identification and better clinical outcomes. AI is applied in enhancement of exploration, production and refinery of petroleum products in the industry while enhancing sustainability. In fraud detection, AI systems thus offer capability to analyze large datasets in real time to reduce and prevent frauds in banking and insurance industries as well as e-commerce businesses. AI in cybersecurity strengthens threat identification, supports automatic management of preventive measures, and offers risk prognosis, with improved protection measures against cyber threats. And, lastly, conversational AI is emerging in the shape of technologies such as Chatgpt that help enhance customer experience and generate content. However, the increasing number of users of artificial intelligence technologies has a number of problems related to advisor ethics, data protection, system openness, and the dynamic nature of threats. While AI technologies mature, their adoption in these industries raises important questions about ethics, security and legal requirements with a view of mainstream proper and democratic development of these technologies. Raising the question of how to advance AI in the face of its problems, the future of AI remains in the effectiveness of using it as a tool for improving technology’s capabilities and for providing solutions which will make the technology more effective, secure, and more accessible in a number of years.

Понимание потенциалов и ограничений моделей, реализуемых на современном этапе двумя странами, позволяет определить возможности по сочетанию проводимых государственных экономических политик, наметить стратегические решения по взаимовыгодному сотрудничеству для ускорения и обеспечения устойчивости темпов роста.
The Extent and Economic Impact of Research and Innovation in Zimbabwe’s Higher Institutions of Learning
Authors: Chirume Silvanos , Ngara Rosemary
Published: December 2024

There has been talk at different fora that in order for Zimbabwe to reduce poverty and increase its gross domestic product, there is need for its higher institutions of learning such as universities and colleges to focus more on research, innovation, and industrialisation. While this might be a noble idea, it remains to be seen to what extent Zimbabwe’s higher institutions of learning have actually realised this goal and what has been its overall impact on the economy. Using a qualitative research approach and an interpretivist paradigm, this study investigated the issues of research and innovation at four higher institutions of learning in Gweru Urban district, Zimbabwe. Data were collected through the institutions’ research repositories and innovation hubs and were critically analysed using document and content analyses. In order to solicit more opinions and suggestions, follow up interviews were also carried out with the institutions’ purposively selected research chairpersons responsible for research and innovations. This study found that although different institutions seemed to view and measure the impact of research and innovation in different ways, they also agreed that research and innovation are of utmost importance to the individual, to the institution and to the country at large. Proposals for staff training, sufficient funding and policy formulation related to research and innovation, among others, were made. However, there was no sufficient evidence to answer the question ‘to what extent research done by Zimbabwe’s institutions of higher learning have impacted on the economy,’ implying that further research needs to be done. Nevertheless, findings and recommendations emanating from this study may be used to inform higher institutions of learning in the district and in Zimbabwe at large to come up with appropriate policies and programmes that help to realise the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Goals 1, 8 and 9) and help to make Zimbabwe an upper middle economy by the year 2030.

Authors: Zhang Yinan
Published: December 2024

This study explores the multifaceted factors influencing gratitude and investigates the effectiveness of gratitude interventions and mindfulness practices in enhancing gratitude levels. Based on existing research, personality traits (e.g., extraversion and empathy), social support, and cultural background are hypothesized to significantly impact the experience and expression of gratitude. A four-week experimental design involving gratitude journaling and mindfulness training is proposed to examine the potential for these practices to elevate individual gratitude levels. The study further aims to highlight the role of emotional regulation in moderating the relationship between gratitude and well-being. The findings are expected to contribute to the theoretical understanding of gratitude and provide practical guidance for implementing gratitude-based interventions in various settings, such as education, clinical therapy, and organizational management.

Published: December 2024

A relação entre alimentação e saúde mental tem ganhado destaque nas pesquisas científicas, especialmente no que diz respeito à interconexão entre o intestino e o cérebro. A microbiota intestinal, composta por trilhões de microrganismos, interage de maneira complexa com o sistema nervoso central (SNC) por meio de vias neurais, hormonais e imunológicas. Com base em um guia de nutrição clínica, fica evidente que a intervenção dietética pode otimizar a função do eixo microbiota-intestino-cérebro, promovendo tanto a saúde digestiva quanto a mental. A análise das interações entre dieta, microbiota e saúde mental pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de abordagens inovadoras no tratamento de condições neuropsiquiátricas. O objetivo desta monografia é investigar a relação entre a nutrição comportamental e o eixo intestino-cérebro, com foco nas interações entre a microbiota intestinal e a saúde mental, através de uma revisão da literatura, pretendendo identificar evidências que sustentem a hipótese de que uma alimentação saudável pode promover um microbioma saudável, contribuindo para a prevenção e manejo de distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos, como depressão e ansiedade. Conclui-se que o estudo do comportamento alimentar e sua relação com o eixo intestino-cérebro revela uma complexa interconexão entre a microbiota intestinal, o sistema nervoso central e o bem-estar mental.

Authors: Yan Lu , Yuet Fanny Kho Chee
Published: December 2024

Teachers play an irreplaceable role in schools, driving the growth of adolescents through creativity, knowledge, and perseverance, which is crucial for their future success. However, this responsibility often requires teachers to continuously adapt to developmental changes and pursue personal growth. This study, set against the backdrop of demonstrative high schools in China, explores how principals' transformational leadership (PTL) creates an environment that fosters teachers' innovative leadership. Such innovative leadership not only supports teachers' continuous professional development (TCPD) but is also essential for maintaining high levels of educational excellence and promoting school progress. Given the complexity of TCPD, this study introduces a conceptual framework that combines elements of transformational and innovative leadership, aiming to provide valuable insights for enhancing TCPD practices. This model not only underscores the importance of leadership in education but also offers practical references for policymakers and school administrators, laying the groundwork for further empirical exploration.

Authors: Bhargavi Jadhav  , Malhar Jadhav
Published: December 2024

Malicious software, or malware, is one of the biggest threats to the vast amounts of data and files handled today. One widely used tool for malware detection is YARA(Yet Another Recursive Acronym), which uses YARArules to match suspicious content in files or network packets analyzed by antivirus engines. It works with most hosts running Windows, Linux, or Mac operating systems. However, while YARA is effective, its scanning process can be quite slow, especially with large datasets. This paper explores ways to optimize YARA's scanning process to make it faster and more efficient. We discuss various modes available within YARA to enhance performance, such as fast mode for quicker scanning and recursive mode for in-depth analysis. By fine-tuning these settings, we aim to reduce scan times without compromising detection accuracy.

Ademais, irá ser ressaltado a imprescindibilidade de se assegurar o direito dos titulares sobretudo acerca da possibilidade de revisão das decisões automatizadas, levando em consideração a legislação brasileira específica sobre privacidade e proteção de dados. Ainda, no que tange as decisões judicias automatizadas, será visto a possibilidade de revisão, bem como a necessidade de que tal revisão seja executada pela sob o crivo humano. Em conclusão, fica observado que a intencionalidade por trás da criação de determinada forma de Inteligência artificial é uma problemática presente em grande parte dos sistemas, razão pela qual é indispensável a cooperação entre um judiciário transparente, uma sociedade informada e profissionais de tecnologia com uma base sólida sobre programação ética.
Suspenso o direito, eis a política: a inaplicabilidade do artigo 15 da Lei 12.016/2009 sobre os mandados de segurança que tratam de tributos indiretos
Authors: Lima Lucas Rodrigues
Published: December 2024

A Lei 12.016/2009 busca equilibrar a proteção ao direito do particular com a proteção ao interesse coletivo, ao prever a possibilidade de suspensão dos efeitos da segurança concedida por liminar ou sentença, por decisão do presidente do tribunal. No caso de tributos indiretos, essa suspensão resultará na exigibilidade do tributo e, consequentemente, no repasse de seu encargo financeiro ao adquirente do bem ou serviço. Daí surgem as questões: quem terá legitimidade para solicitar a restituição do indébito se a sentença confirmar a liminar e conceder segurança, o contribuinte de direito ou o contribuinte de fato? Se a resposta for o contribuinte de fato (art. 166, CTN), o que acontecerá com a sentença favorável ao contribuinte de direito? Será letra morta? Abordaremos essa problemática a partir da análise da controvérsia sobre a exigibilidade do diferencial de alíquota de ICMS incidente nas operações interestaduais envolvendo não contribuintes do imposto; exemplo paradigmático da necessidade de contenção da política pelo direito.

Student Healing Choices: A survey of Senior High School Grade 12 Preferences
Authors: B. Fernandez Jevmarie Faye , G. Riveral Gil Mayer Jae , E. Cabasisi Kathleen Kaye , C. Tabaosares Marlon
Published: December 2024

This study fills the gap of how non-Western religious beliefs and socioeconomic status interact to influence healthcare decisions, especially among adolescents. Examinations of religion or SES have primarily been performed in isolation; little research has focused on how these factors together shape health-seeking behaviors in young populations. The study is investigating how religious beliefs, social-class factors, and cultural factors combine to affect the healing preferences of Senior High School students in the Philippines. Some of the theoretical frameworks that are leading this research are the Theory of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by Cohen in 2002, which talks about integrating conventional treatments with traditional ones based on personal beliefs and accessibility and Social Cognitive Theory by Bandura in 1986 that emphasizes social and environmental factors influencing decision-making processes. The study targeted 354 students of Senior High School through purposive sampling for purposes of assessing their preferences for scientific or traditional healing methods. A self-designed questionnaire was utilized, and pilot tested for reliability and validity. Finally, the data were analyzed using various statistical tests, such as McNemar and Chi-square tests. Healing preference among SES groups showed no statistically significant difference; although a slight trend was observed where students from lower-income levels prefer traditional healing. Religion showed minimal impact on healing preferences, with Roman Catholic and Seventh-day Adventist students demonstrating similar choices between scientific and traditional methods. However, the p-value limitations due to sparse data resulted in undefined results, highlighting the need for larger, more balanced samples in future research. The study concludes that healthcare decisions among adolescents are shaped by a complex interplay of cultural, socioeconomic, and religious factors. These findings underscore the necessity for public health strategies that account for diverse cultural contexts. Future research should explore the interactive role of these factors and ensure that health programs meet specific needs in adolescents from varied backgrounds.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing the education sector, offering vast potential for transformation. This study determined the Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) students’ perception of AI integration in education under three domains: the teaching and learning process, curriculum, and future possibilities. The study used a mixed-method research approach, employing descriptive analysis for quantitative data and thematic analysis for qualitative data. The quantitative results revealed that the most common AI tools used by BSEd students were ChatGPT, Quillbot, Perplexity, Gemini, and Grammarly. Further, the participants had a positive perception of AI integration in the domains of the teaching-learning process and curriculum. They had a neutral perception of the domain of future possibilities. Moreover, the qualitative data on students’ experiences with the use of AI-generated tools in class revealed two themes: (1) AI support in the Teaching and Learning Process and (2) Concerns Regarding the Use of AI. These results highlight the need for clear guidelines and policies to ensure effective and responsible use of AI in education, providing valuable insights for future research on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED).
Efficacy of Psidium Guajava Leaves Extract as an Organic Larvicide against Culicidae Larvae
Authors: Edrolin Braighen Claire , Macquinto Jay Simon , Tabaosares Marlon
Published: December 2024

Mosquito-borne diseases continue to pose a significant public health challenge, especially in tropical environments such as those of the Philippines. This necessitates the development of long-term control measures. The research done on the larvicidal and overall insecticidal potential of organic compounds such as those found in Psidium guajava leaf and other species is scarce, despite the growing demand especially among rural households for such a solution. This study examines the larvicidal potential of Psidium guajava leaf extract against Culicidae larvae at Mindanao Mission Academy. We hypothesized that groups treated with Psidium guajava leaf extract present significant differences in larvae mortality then groups treated without, we also hypothesized a significant difference of mortality between different volumes of extract. A quasi-experimental design was used to assess the effects of various extract concentrations on larval mortality after 24 hours. Larvae was purposively sampled from various populations around the campus. The criteria for the selected larvae were that they would be around the 3rd stage of growth. A mortar & pestle, blender, cheesecloth and syringe was used to extract the liquids from Psidium guajava leaf. Fifteen 100ml cups were also used as the temporary mosquito habitat. Data analysis using one-way ANOVA and simple descriptive statistics have shown significant effects on larvae mortality. The results suggest significant differences between groups treated with extract and those treated without (negative control). Though, compared to common synthetic larvicides (positive control) their effectiveness falls short. Nevertheless, an average mortality of 43.3% for the smallest dose (5ml) was achieved. These results suggest that the leaf extracts of the Psidium guajava species can be utilized as an effective, organic and easily accessible solution to rural Culicidae larvae infestations. We do, though, recommend future researchers to use more sophisticated and capable equipment. This is to identify the active phytochemical compounds causing larval mortality. Better equipment could also lead to more consistent and, consequently, more desirable results.

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an unusual complication that can occur due to ABO blood group incompatibility between the transplant donor and recipient. It is characterized by an insufficiency in marrow function as a result of a profound deficiency of erythroid hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors. Different therapies have been described for its management, without there being a treatment of choice, added to the fact that in our environment many of them do not have an indication for this diagnosis. Clinical case: We present the case of a patient undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from an identical related donor who developed PRCA secondary to minor ABO incompatibility, which was successfully treated with a cycle of rabbit Thymoglobulin, obtaining an excellent clinical response. Conclussion: Management with rabbit Thymoglobulin is an effective, safe and available alternative in Colombia

Authors: Iglesias Jiménez Oscar Giovanny , Sierra Merlano Rita Magola
Published: December 2024

In sickle cell disease (SCD), fluid intake is  decisive because dehydration increases the polymerization of HbS and the appearance of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC). The use of hydroxyurea (HU) in SCD has shown an increase in survival and reduction of complications. Objectives: Compare the daily fluid intake and the use of HU independently in a population with FD with scientific recommendations, determine therapeutic compliance and difference between sexes. Methods: Cross-sectional and analytical study. Results: Men had higher fluid intake by a difference of about 0.5 L compared to women, p= 0.003. 16% of the sample ingested more than 3 liters per day. 78.5% of the sample had HU indicated and 42.2% of women and 25.8% of men used it, p= 0.09. The average fluid intake was 1.92 L/day, 1.5 liters lower than the intake recommendation for PE, p<0.05. The average dose of 14.86 mg/kg/day of the 35 patients with HU showed no statistical difference compared to the standard recommended starting dose, p= 0.88. Conclusions: Daily fluid intake was sub-optimal and constituted 54.8% of the recommended requirements. It was determined that there was underuse of HU due to lack of indication. Low fluid intake or the use of HU had no association with factors such as age, gender, education, and living area. Sex differences show a higher frequency of acute chest syndrome (ACS) and HU use in the female population with SCD, findings opposite to what has been documented in other cohorts.

Authors: Pérez Lugo Lucy Maritza , Osorio Franco Álvaro Enrique
Published: December 2024

The frequency of adrenal tumors is high, affecting 3-10% of the population. In contrast, adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 0.7 cases per million per year. In most patients with adrenocortical carcinoma, hormonal overproduction can be demonstrated, with Cushing's syndrome being the most commonly associated clinical presentation. There is limited evidence regarding the optimal treatment for this condition. Clinical case: We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with Cushing's syndrome secondary to adrenocortical carcinoma with liver metastasis, treated with a multimodal approach including surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic management with mitotane. Conclusion: This case significantly contributes to the current care model in Colombia for these rare neoplasms and proposes an integrated treatment strategy based on prognostic factors identified in the histopathological study, in line with the latest global advances.

O capítulo investigou a influência da neurociência na formação docente, com o objetivo de analisar como os conhecimentos neurocientíficos podem ser aplicados para melhorar as práticas pedagógicas. O problema central da pesquisa envolveu a dificuldade de integração desses conhecimentos no currículo de formação de professores, devido à falta de formação especializada e resistência à mudança nas práticas educacionais. A metodologia adotada foi uma revisão bibliográfica, com a análise de artigos, livros e dissertações sobre neurociência e educação, que permitiu identificar as principais contribuições e desafios da área. Os resultados mostraram que a neurociência pode melhorar o desempenho acadêmico dos alunos, ao fornecer aos professores ferramentas para adaptar o ensino às necessidades cognitivas e emocionais dos estudantes. Contudo, a implementação das práticas neurocientíficas enfrenta barreiras, como a falta de capacitação dos professores e a resistência institucional. A análise indicou que a formação contínua dos docentes é essencial para superar esses desafios e integrar as descobertas científicas no cotidiano escolar. As considerações finais apontaram a necessidade de aprofundar os estudos sobre as melhores formas de aplicar os conhecimentos neurocientíficos na educação, especialmente em relação à capacitação dos professores e à adaptação das metodologias de ensino. Além disso, sugeriu-se que futuras pesquisas investiguem os impactos de longo prazo dessas práticas no ensino e aprendizado.

O capítulo teve como problema a análise das contribuições da teoria histórico-cultural para a avaliação no ensino infantil, focando nas implicações dessa abordagem para a prática pedagógica. O objetivo geral foi investigar como a teoria histórico-cultural pode transformar a avaliação nas salas de aula, promovendo o desenvolvimento integral das crianças. A metodologia adotada foi a revisão bibliográfica, com análise de obras acadêmicas e teóricas sobre o tema. Os resultados indicaram que a teoria histórico-cultural propõe uma avaliação contínua e formativa, que leva em consideração as dimensões cognitivas, sociais e emocionais do desenvolvimento infantil. Além disso, ressaltou-se o papel do educador como mediador nesse processo, promovendo uma aprendizagem significativa e respeitando a individualidade e o contexto cultural das crianças. A pesquisa também apontou desafios para a implementação dessa abordagem, como a resistência dos educadores e a necessidade de formação contínua. Nas considerações finais, concluiu-se que a teoria histórico-cultural oferece um novo modelo de avaliação, inclusivo e reflexivo, que favorece o desenvolvimento integral da criança. No entanto, foi identificada a necessidade de novos estudos para aprofundar a aplicação dessa avaliação em diferentes contextos educacionais e para investigar a formação dos educadores na aplicação dessas práticas.

Esse estudo buscou analisar a relevância das intervenções do enfermeiro durante a consulta de enfermagem na escolha de métodos contraceptivos, sendo um estudo exploratório da bibliografia com abordagem qualitativa, apresentando resultados como evidências de que, eventualmente, os serviços e profissionais de saúde não contribuem para que os direitos reprodutivos sejam exercidos, reforçando mais uma vez a necessidade de capacitações e reciclagens profissionais. O comando da mulher sobre a própria fecundidade é considerado um dos grandes alicerces do processo de empoderamento, recaindo, consequentemente, sobre o ser feminino as decorrências de uma possível gravidez indesejável, sendo inevitável que ela assuma o compromisso da contracepção. O estudo evidencia o avanço na autonomia das mulheres na saúde sexual e reprodutiva, com destaque para o Planejamento Familiar, que amplia escolhas conscientes. Apesar disso, o machismo estrutural e a limitada oferta de métodos contraceptivos masculinos ainda sobrecarregam as mulheres. O enfermeiro desempenha um papel fundamental, oferecendo orientação sobre métodos contraceptivos, garantindo a equidade e promovendo um atendimento humanizado, especialmente para mulheres em situação de vulnerabilidade. Capacitações contínuas são essenciais para assegurar um cuidado de qualidade, estimulando a autonomia feminina e respeitando suas escolhas de forma consciente e segura.

L’intersection de la cryptographie non commutative et multivariée contient des études sur les applications cryptographiques des sous-mi-groupes et des sous-groupes des semi-groupes affines de Crémone définis sur l’anneau commutatif fini K avec l’unité. Nous considérerons des sous-mi-groupes spéciaux (plateformes) dans un semi-groupe de tous les endomorphismes de K[x1, x2, …, xn]. Les homomorphismes calculés efficacement entre ces plateformes peuvent être utilisés dans les protocoles d’échange de clés post-quantiques lorsque les correspondants élaborent une transformation commune de (K*)n. La sécurité de ces systèmes est basée sur un problème de complexité de décomposition d’un élément d’un semi-groupe en un produit de générateurs donnés. Ce chapitre prpopose trois protocoles de ce type (avec un groupe et avec deux semi-groupes comme plateformes) pour leur utilisation avec des systèmes de signature numérique multivariés. L’utilisation de protocoles nous permet de convertir les cartes publiques de ces systèmes en modes privés, c’est-à-dire qu’un correspondant utilise la carte de collision pour transférer en toute sécurité la règle multivariée sélectionnée à son partenaire.
