The Importance of Understanding Social Determinants of Health as Medical Students: My Experience with the Cincinnati Homeless Coalition
Authors: Dubbaka Shivatej , Lentz Taylor
Published: July 2024

Medical education traditionally emphasizes academic rigor, often at the expense of practical community engagement. This experience article describes my journey beyond the confines of a medical school's preclinical curriculum to engage with the social determinants of health through a partnership with the Cincinnati Homeless Coalition. My narrative begins with my initial foray into the community, detailing the inception and execution of a project aligned with the organization's mission to combat homelessness. I discuss the challenges encountered, propose enhancements to overcome these limitations, and reflect on the project's implications for future medical cohorts. The article underscores the value of understanding social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status and education, and their influence on health outcomes. It advocates for the integration of community-based experiences in medical training, asserting that such involvement can enrich the educational journey of medical students by providing a broader perspective on healthcare needs and patient advocacy.

Coding is very important in the prospective financing system which will determine the amount of fees paid to the FKRTL (Advanced Referral Health Facility). Appropriately coded clinical data will be needed for information for the purposes of patient care, research, improving service performance, resource planning and management, as well as to obtain appropriate reimbursement for health services provided. The accuracy of a code is intended for all types of diseases, one of which is hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy and inaccuracy percentage of hypertension diagnosis codes. This type of research uses a quantitative approach with descriptive methods. The sample of this study was the medical record files of outpatients diagnosed with hypertension in the January-March 2023 period, totaling 71 files.
From a sample of 71 files in the diagnosis of hypertension, it was found that the inaccuracy of filling in the hypertension diagnosis code was 7 files (10%). While the accuracy of filling is 64 files (90%). From a sample of 71 files in the diagnosis of hypertension, it was found that the inaccuracy of filling in the hypertension diagnosis code was 7 files (10%). While the accuracy of filling is 64 files (90%). Factors that cause inaccuracies in the diagnosis code are doctors who write the wrong diagnosis due to incomplete medical supporting information, such as checking blood pressure. Completeness of medical supporting examination results can be used as information to determine the appropriate diagnosis code. Another factor was the doctor's writing which was difficult to read which made it difficult for officers to input diagnoses into the SIMRS.

Is There a Demand for Extensive Financial Reporting on Local Government from the Most Important Stakeholders: Residents?
Authors: Czekaj Mirosław , Postuła Marta , Wojdat Marcin
Published: July 2024

The study aims to identify residents’ perception of such aspects of public finances as transparency and credibility, in particular, their level of interest and needs regarding increasing the scope of financial reporting at the local level. The study was conducted in 2023 among residents of the 12 largest Polish cities, using the computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) technique on a sample of N = 400 residents of each city. A total of 4,800 respondents took part in the survey. The qualitative study was conducted using the focus group interview technique (FGI online). The research results indicate a noticeable lack of demand for information regarding local finances and a lack of trust in the transparency and honesty of public funds management. Bearing in mind that residents rely on economic experts and financial analysts as sources of information with the highest credibility, a large field opens up for experts such as independent auditors.

Dark Energy as a Key Player in the Evolution of Cosmic Objects
Authors: Harutyunian H. A.
Published: July 2024

Researchers have been searching for the speed at which the universe’s expansion is slowing for decades.
The dominant cosmological model predicted the inevitable process of braking. The discovery of the
opposite process should have alerted researchers. However, the basic cosmological model has not changed
at all. Although it is estimated that approximately 70 percent of all existing mass energy is dark energy, its
role is not fully understood. In this paper, we show that the evolution of cosmic objects and their systems
at all hierarchical levels occurs due to the interaction of ordinary matter with dark energy. Moreover, the
interaction also increases the mass of ordinary matter. The mass increase occurs due to the conversion of
some part of the dark energy into mass. Namely, it happens both due to a decrease in the mass defect of
atomic nuclei and because of the fission of the same nuclei. It is noted that the role of dark energy should
be studied much deeper than is currently being done, considering the known laws of physics.

Authors: Sousa Leandro Quaresma de , Abreu Kelvya Freitas
Published: July 2024

O letramento científico (LC) pode ser definido como a capacidade crítica e reflexiva de utilizar o conhecimento científico para compreender, interpretar e interagir com o mundo ao nosso redor. Envolve não apenas a compreensão dos conceitos científicos fundamentais, mas também a habilidade de aplicar esses conceitos na análise de questões complexas, na tomada de decisões informadas e na participação ativa em discussões sobre temas científicos. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é realizar um levantamento bibliográfico sobre as práticas de letramento científico e como elas podem ser efetivamente implementadas para promover uma compreensão mais profunda e crítica da ciência entre os estudantes do ensino médio. Para isso, este estudo fundamenta-se em Abreu (2021, 2022); Amaral (2014); Carregosa (2021); Martins (2020); Sousa (2024), entre outros. O método deste estudo foi dividido em seis etapas principais, inicialmente identificou-se o tema da pesquisa, em seguida, definiu-se critérios de inclusão e exclusão para filtrar os estudos relevantes, após isso, realizou-se a busca e seleção dos estudos, caracterizando-os detalhadamente. A análise e interpretação dos resultados foram feitas na etapa seguinte, identificando padrões e lacunas no conhecimento. Por fim, apresentou-se a síntese do conhecimento, por meio desta pesquisa. Portanto, conclui-se que o desenvolvimento do LC exige uma abordagem multifacetada, que inclua formação adequada para professores, integração de textos diversos e práticas pedagógicas inovadoras. Investir no LC não apenas fortalece o conhecimento científico dos alunos, mas também os prepara para se tornarem cidadãos críticos e participativos em uma sociedade cada vez mais tecnológica e complexa.
Acerca de la noción de “marco epistémico” del constructivismo. Una comparación con la noción de “paradigma” de Kuhn
Authors: Becerra Gastón , Castorina José Antonio
Published: July 2024

Desde el constructivismo epistemológico inspirado en la obra de Piaget, se ha propuesto la noción de “marco epistémico” para el tratamiento del problema de la relación entre sociedad y conocimiento científico. En este trabajo buscamos brindar precisiones conceptuales sobre esta noción, delimitando sus alcances y poniendo de relieve sus particularidades. Para ello proponemos una comparación con la noción de “paradigma” de Thomas S. Kuhn.
La cuestión de la técnica y la ciencia en Jürgen Habermas
Authors: Zatti Vicente
Published: July 2024

Habermas em seu diagnóstico da sociedade não faz uma crítica à razão técnica como tal, mas elabora uma crítica à sua universalização, à perda de um conceito mais compreensivo de razão em favor da validade excessiva do pensamento científico e tecnológico. Não se trata de preconizar a ruptura radical com a razão técnica, senão situar adequadamente esta dentro de uma teoria da compreensão da racionalidade. Para situar a questão da técnica e ciência dentro da teoria da racionalidade habermasiana, analisamos temas centrais da primeira fase do pensamento do filósofo alemão, como positivismo, tecnocracia, colonização do mundo da vida, suspeita à filosofia da consciência. A delimitação de um espaço legítimo para a técnica e ciência, reconhece sua importância para a reprodução material da sociedade, mas ao mesmo tempo, estabelece o mundo da vida como uma esfera inacessível à razão instrumental, pois legitimamente é regida pela razão comunicativa. A ação não distorcida da razão instrumental está restrita ao sistema. E sua legitimidade ética, política, estética, é estabelecida por algo externo a si, o mundo da vida.
Presentación: Ciencia, tecnología y género. Enfoques y problemas actuales
Authors: González Marta , Fernández Jimeno Natalia
Published: July 2024

Hace cincuenta años que la socióloga Alice Rossi (1965) formuló la pregunta central con la que se abría un nuevo campo de investigación sobre las relaciones entre la ciencia, la tecnología y la sociedad: ¿por qué tan pocas? El problema que Rossi identificaba no era nuevo, sino tan antiguo como la ciencia misma. Sin embargo, no es hasta los años 60 del pasado siglo XX cuando comienza a tematizarse la ausencia de mujeres en la producción de conocimiento científico.
Género en el “contenido” de la tecnología. Ejemplos en el diseño de software
Authors: Sanz Verónica
Published: July 2024

El feminismo constructivista de la tecnología de las últimas dos décadas ha demostrado la co- construcción del género y la tecnología, criticando la concepción tradicional de la ciencia y la tecnología, la cual consideraba que las relaciones de género eran “externas” al contenido tecnológico de los artefactos. El feminismo constructivista afirma que el género no sólo se “asocia” a las tecnologías una vez estas construidas, sino que es incorporado a la propia materialidad de los artefactos, lo que supone la implicación del género en el “contenido” mismo de la tecnología. Los procesos de generización se incorporan al nivel “material” de estas, si bien entendiendo “material” de modo amplio (ya que, por ejemplo, consideramos el software como “contenido” de las TI, aunque su soporte no sea físico). Si las relaciones de género están “incorporadas” a los aparatos, estos van a contribuir, a su vez, a construir y a reforzar esas relaciones. Para ello vamos a utilizar el concepto de “guiones de género” (gender scripts) de Margaret Akrich (a su vez basado en el concepto de “guion tecnológico” de Steve Woolgar) para dos casos particulares de diseño de software en los que los aspectos de género entran a formar parte desde el principio de la producción tecnológica.
Desafiando la institución de la maternidad: reapropiaciones subversivas de las tecnologías de reproducción asistida (TRA)
Authors: Fernández Jimeno Natalia
Published: July 2024

En este trabajo se analiza el papel de las técnicas de reproducción asistida (TRA) en la configuración de maternidades subversivas del sistema patriarcal y de la institución de la maternidad. El interés de este trabajo reside en dar cuenta de las diferentes estrategias que siguen y los obstáculos que enfrentan las mujeres a la hora de formar familias monomarentales o en pareja lesbiana y analizar en qué medida los usos que éstas puedan hacer de las TRA son subversivos o, por el contrario, refuerzan la institución de la maternidad y el poder patriarcal. Para ello, se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica del tema, así como se han recogido una serie de testimonios orales de mujeres que han utilizado las TRA mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas. De este modo, ha sido posible entrever la tensión dialéctica entre los guiones de género y los valores patriarcales opresivos que son parte constitutiva de estas técnicas, y la capacidad de agencia de las mujeres para crear maternidades vividas, nuevos modelos, que subviertan la institución de la maternidad.
Las tecnologías informáticas en la producción de conocimiento en biología molecular en Argentina
Authors: Levin Luciano , Ferpozzi Hugo
Published: July 2024

Este artículo explora algunas conexiones entre las tecnologías informáticas y las transformaciones recientes en el campo de la biología molecular argentina. Más precisamente, intentamos comprender los modos en los que la producción de conocimiento, las prácticas y la organización del trabajo científico son estructuradas con la utilización de tecnologías digitales. Para ello tomamos los casos de la investigación sobre la enfermedad de Chagas y la identificación de personas desaparecidas víctimas del terrorismo de estado. Ambos casos son examinados como procesos productivos, concentrándonos, por lo tanto, más en la producción de conocimiento que en la comunicación científica o en la distribución del conocimiento, como suele ocurrir en la mayor parte de la literatura latinoamericana. De este modo, proponemos exponer las particularidades del contexto local en términos de intercambios materiales y cognitivos, los modos de participación en el proceso de producción de conocimiento y los factores normativos e institucionales que le dan forma.
Co-creando valor público. Desafíos pendientes para América Latina
Authors: Zurbriggen Cristina , González Lago Mariana
Published: July 2024

La creciente complejidad, diversidad y dinamismo que adquiere la solución de problemas públicos en las sociedades contemporáneas ha conducido a encontrar en los conceptos de innovación social, innovación pública, innovación abierta y co-creación, muchas de las categorías descriptivas y explicativas de un nuevo paradigma emergente de una gobernanza colaborativa y experimental. En este escenario aumentan sistemáticamente los procesos que exploran y repiensan las formas de involucrar a ciudadanos y comunidades para que desempeñen un papel activo en la co-creación de servicios y políticas públicas. Surge, de esta manera, una multiplicidad de iniciativas innovadoras a nivel global para solucionar problemas públicos, al tiempo que los gobiernos, en diferentes grados y en diferentes formas, innovan en el diseño de servicios y políticas al incorporar formas colaborativas y creativas e integrar enfoques de diseño (design thinking, diseño participativo) como herramienta para impulsar el cambio. Concomitantemente, la web 2.0, las redes sociales y las distintas formas de gobierno abierto contribuyen a estos procesos colaborativos. Este artículo explora los elementos distintivos de estas nuevas formas de co-creación, ejemplificadas con diversas iniciativas a nivel global y regional, y plantea una serie de interrogantes sobre los retos y dilemas abiertos para América Latina.
Process Parameter Effects on Powder Mixed EDM Machining Characteristics Using Biocompatible Ti-6Al-4V Alloy
Authors: Tiwari Diwaker , Srivastava Ashok Kumar
Published: July 2024

This study examines how various process parameters affect the machining properties of a bio-compatible Ti-6Al-4V alloy using PMEDM with silicon carbide (SiC) powder. The parameters investigated include peak current, pulse on/off time, powder concentration, and voltage gap. The study analyzed their effects on material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), surface roughness (SR), and surface morphology. A central composite design was used in the tests to make empirical models that use response surface methods to link the process parameters to the machining results. It is found that the Pulse current and Ton influence the material removal rate and the surface roughness significantly. The powder concentration also impacts PMEDM's machining performance. The Scanning electron microscopic images reveal the effect of powder seen in the machined components. The crater, micro cracks and machining marks can be seen in the SEM images. The surface integrity is correlated with the output parameters of surface roughness. The developed mathematical models effectively predict and optimize the machining properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy using PMEDM with SiC powder. This research offers valuable insights for applying PMEDM in the fabrication of biomedical implants and devices made from Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
Factors Determining Household Waste Segregation Behaviour: An Indian Case Study
Authors: Kaur Harpreet , Kaur Paramjeet
Published: July 2024

Waste represents used things or materials that are no longer required or wanted. These articles are cast off as they have stopped working or because they have ceased to be of value. Human settlements inevitably generate waste. According to UNEP's Global Waste Management Outlook 2024, the quantity of waste being generated is growing each year due to augmented economic growth accompanied with untenable consumption and production practices. In fact, global municipal solid waste (MSW) generation per year is projected to grow from 2.1 billion tonnes in 2020 to 2.7 billion tonnes in 2030 and further to 3.2 and 3.8 billion tonnes in 2040 and 2050 respectively. According to the World Bank, more than a third of waste generated globally is not managed in an environmentally sound manner and emissions related to solid waste are likely to increase to 2.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2050. The present study based in Delhi with a sample of 708 households aims to understand the factors influencing the adoption of the “practice of waste segregation” by households. From our SEM and Path analysis we conclude that environmental awareness, knowledge about waste segregation and the perception about actual task of waste segregation have a significant impact on the practice of waste segregation. Environmental awareness has the largest impact followed by knowledge about how to undertake the task of waste segregation. In the light of our results, it is important and imperative to create awareness about the negative environmental impact of not segregating waste as well as demystifying the actual task of practising waste segregation.
Optimizing User Satisfaction in Movie Recommendations Using Variable Learning Rates and Dynamic Neighborhood Functions in SOMs
Authors: Sharma Saurabh , Dubey Ghanshyam Prasad , Shaky Harish Kumar
Published: July 2024

Customized movie recommendations are crucial in elevating user satisfaction and engagement in the era of vast online entertainment options. This study presents an innovative approach utilizing Enhanced Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) for movie categorization. SOMs, as unsupervised neural networks, are highly effective in recommendation systems due to their ability to identify intricate data patterns accurately. The proposed method involves collecting user-movie interaction data, such as user ratings and movie attributes. Data standardization is performed to ensure consistency before training the refined SOM. By integrating variable learning rates and dynamic Neighborhood functions, the advanced SOM can uncover complex patterns within datasets, thus enhancing the accuracy of personalized movie recommendations by identifying meaningful connections between users and films. To further improve recommendation quality, hybrid filtering techniques are employed, combining content-based filtering, which considers movie characteristics like genre and description, with collaborative filtering algorithms that analyze user-item interactions to expand the range of recommended films. This integrated approach allows for the generation of user-movie matrices by employing SVD collaborative filtering to give precedence to movie recommendations. The hybrid technique demonstrates superior performance compared to earlier models, attaining an RMSE of 0.410, MAE of 0.211, precision of 92.09%, recall of 93.12%, and an F1-score of 92.15%, consequently offering very accurate movie recommendations. Subsequent studies could concentrate on improving personalised recommendations by integrating supplementary contextual data.

Authors: Zehra Farheen , Khan Farhina Sardar , Mazhar Syed Shahid , Akhlaue Nazia , Haque Ehsanul , Singh Anamika
Published: July 2024

This study explores consumer behaviour and preferences towards digital payment gateways in India, focusing on the factors that drive consumer choices and satisfaction. A structured survey with a stratified random sample of 1,000 respondents across India was conducted between January and April 2024. The study is grounded in three hypotheses, testing the differences in perceived convenience, trust in security, and the impact of cashback and rewards on consumer recommendations for digital payment platforms such as Phone-Pe, Google Pay, and Paytm. Statistical analyses were used to scrutinize the data, including ANOVA, chi-square tests, and Pearson’s correlation. Key findings indicate significant differences in convenience and trust levels among platforms, with convenience and rewards strongly correlating with consumer recommendations. The results suggest that enhancing convenience and security perception alongside attractive reward schemes can significantly influence consumer adoption and loyalty. Although this study offers useful information for stakeholders seeking to optimize digital transactions in emerging markets, it also has significant implications for complex preferences in Indian digital payment systems. The implications of these findings extend to the strategic development of tailored and consumer-friendly digital payment solutions. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the need for continuous innovation in digital payment technologies to better meet consumers' evolving demands. Implementing robust security measures and user-centric design can help build trust and simplify the payment process, thereby increasing user engagement and satisfaction. This research adds to the existing body of knowledge on digital payment preferences and provides a solid foundation for future strategic developments in this rapidly growing field.
Social Media Disorder Scale: Structure, Reliability and Validity in Indian Context
Authors: Choudhury Sourav , Deb Joy Prakash , Biswas Samiul , Pramanik Akankshya
Published: July 2024

India is a country that has seen a notable increase in the amount of time its citizens spend on the Internet. One of the primary drivers of internet usage is the widespread adoption of social media platforms. When there is compulsive and unhealthy use of those platforms, it is termed Social Media Disorder (SMD), which has far-reaching implications. However, a valid tool to measure this issue still needs to be created in India. The study aimed to determine the reliability and validity of the Social Media Disorder Scale (SMDS), initially developed in the Netherlands. The developers used the diagnostic criteria of DSM-5 Internet Gaming Disorder since both have the same overarching construct of internet addiction. The nine-dimensional 27-item scale was put through a rigorous validation process while being administered among 552 adolescents in five districts and two states of India. The data collection lasted for three months between March - May, 2024. Construct validity of SMDS was assessed with Exploratory Factor Analysis (first subsample n=280) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (second subsample n=272) using SPSS and AMOS software, respectively. The nine dimensions and 27 items were retained, yielding an internal consistency Cronbach’s alpha of 0.945. This comprehensive validation process has ensured and provided strong evidence that the scale can be utilized in the Indian context to assess SMD.

Program LEADER w krajach Europy Środkowej
Authors: Chevalier Pascal , Maurel Marie-Claude
Published: July 2024

Realizacja nowej polityki europejskiej opartej na zintegrowanym rozwoju wsi jest całkowicie nowym eksperymentem w krajach Europy Środkowej, które wcześniej funkcjonowały w ramach systemu komunistycznego. W niniejszej pracy podjęto próbę zbadania warunków i kontekstu w jakim Model Rozwoju Lokalnego jest przenoszony ze « starych » do nowych państw członkowskich UE oraz sposobów jego wdrażania w tych ostatnich. Problem ten badamy analizując program Leader (skrót od Liaisons Entre Actions de Développement de l’Economie Rurale), który stał się czwartą osią Europejskiej Polityki Wiejskiej (2007-2013). Podejście charakterystyczne dla programu Leader jest zazwyczaj przedstawiane jako oryginalna metoda wspierania rozwoju lokalnego, szczególnie poprzez Lokalną Grupę Działania (LGD), która jest lokalną strukturą aktorów publicznych i prywatnych. Uwagę koncentrujemy na sposobach wcielania tego podejścia w życie w trzech nowych krajach członkowskich Unii Europejskiej (Republika Czeska, Węgry, Polska). Nowa polityka rozwoju dociera do społeczności lokalnych dzięki różnym hierarchicznym sposobom zarządzania. Władze krajowe (czyli operatorzy transferu) przenoszą i wdrażają europejskie zasady i normy, które są bardziej elastyczne od wcześniejszych. Analizując główne różnice pomiędzy trzema krajami odkrywamy zniekształcenia, jakim ulega oryginalny model pod wpływem krajowych czynników instytucjonalnych. Procesy transferu polityki nie ograniczają się do ministerstw rolnictwa, lecz angażują zróżnicowane grono aktorów pozarządowych, pośredniczących w transferze modelu do lokalnych interesariuszy będących czynnymi odbiorcami. Model Leader jest wdrażany w rozmaitych kontekstach terytorialnych i społecznych, mniej lub bardziej podatnych na przyjęcie tego nowego sposobu myślenia o rozwoju lokalnym i zarządzaniu nim. W pracy, odwołującej się do naukowej literatury, wykorzystano dane oficjalnych źródeł narodowych oraz wyniki badań terenowych. Jest to międzynarodowe porównanie, w którym wzięto pod narodowe i lokalne specyfiki w celu uwypuklenia podobieństw i różnic w transferze modelu polityki.
Rola ruchu naturalnego i migracyjnego w procesie zmian przestrzennego rozkładu gęstości zaludnienia obszarów wiejskich
Authors: Rosner Andrzej
Published: July 2024

W ostatnich latach liczba ludności wiejskiej w Polsce praktycznie nie ulega zmianom, występują jednak procesy modyfikujące przestrzenny rozkład tej ludności. Największą rolę w tych modyfikacjach odgrywają procesy migracyjne dokonujące się w przekroju wieś – miasto. Pod względem liczebności migrantów oba strumienie są prawie równe, jednak do miast migrują przede wszystkim mieszkańcy odległych obszarów wiejskich (obszarów peryferyjnych), a migranci z miast osiedlają się głównie w wiejskich obszarach podmiejskich. W rezultacie następuje koncentracja ludności wiejskiej wokół miast i pogłębiają się procesy depopulacyjne na wsi w obszarach położonych z dala os ośrodków miejskich. Ponieważ procesy migracyjne charakteryzuje silna selektywność, więc oba skrajne typy obszarów wiejskich (podmiejskie i peryferyjne) różnią się strukturami: demograficzną, edukacyjną, źródeł utrzymania mieszkańców itp.

Lack of physical activity can increase the risk of obesity which has the potential of negative impacts on the physical and psychological health of adolescents. It can also increase the incidence of non-communicable diseases in adulthood. This study was conducted to determine the factors that affected the physical activity of adolescents at risk of obesity in rural Aceh. A cross-sectional study was conducted at two senior high schools in rural Aceh. There were 134 respondents were taken by using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a demographic data questionnaire, The Adolescents Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ), the Social Support for Exercise Scale and the Physical Activity Questionnaire-Adolescents (PAQ-A). The analysis was carried out using Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression test. The results showed that parental education (p=0.025; OR=7.142) was the most affected factor toward physical activity in adolescents with a risk of obesity. It is suggested that local schools to increase the involvements of adolescents at risk of obesity in school extracurricular programs and collaborate with the public health centre to provide health education for parents of adolescents about the importance of physical activity for adolescent’s health.

Aim: This article evaluates the utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and radiological techniques in the diagnosis of rare diseases, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities presented by these technologies. Methods: A comprehensive review of existing literature on NGS technologies, including first, second, and third-generation sequencing methods, as well as their applications in genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, was conducted alongside radiological imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans. Results: NGS has revolutionized rare disease diagnosis by enabling high-throughput, cost-effective sequencing, facilitating the identification of pathogenic mutations, and advancing personalized medicine. Radiological techniques provide complementary insights into anatomical abnormalities and disease progression. Despite significant advantages, challenges such as data interpretation, cost, and ethical considerations persist. Conclusion: NGS and radiological imaging offer transformative potential in rare disease diagnosis, enhancing our understanding of genetic and anatomical aspects of disorders and enabling targeted therapeutic approaches. Continued technological advancements and integrative analyses with other omics data and imaging findings will further enhance their diagnostic utility.
Artificial intelligence in public affairs
Authors: Lebenbauer Katharina
Published: July 2024

Artificial intelligence enables machines to imitate human capabilities such as logical thinking, planning and creativity. This implies that learning something and then using the new learned knowledge characterizes artificial intelligence. Once artificial intelligence learns how algorithms, programs or systems work, it can always retrieve them. Thus, artificial intelligence could be in the position to support our everyday lives and our working lives if we use it properly. The present paper explores how artificial intelligence can be used in working life, especially in the field of public affairs, and what advantages and disadvantages it could have for public affairs managers. There is not much information about this matter so far, although it is a very interesting issue since public affairs is a communication profession in which adequate communication cannot simply always be the same and must be customized for individual persons. Based on actual articles, studies, internet sources and books, the current study shows what available literature reveals about this topic.

Light is one of the most important environmental factors affecting plant growth and development. Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is one of the members of Triazole compounds that possess the qualities of growth regulators. The study aimed to investigate the possible changes in anatomical structures of the root, stem, and leaf of A. tha liana grown under different light intensities and the role of pbz in these circumstances. The anatomical characteristics of the root, stem, and leaves of A. tha liana col.0 were measured after treating its seedlings at two weeks of age with Hock land's solution at different light intensities (3000, 6000, 9000, 12000 Lux) for four weeks. The results showed changes in anatomical characteristics due to light stress represented by a significant moral decrease in the diameter of the root, vascular cylinder, and thickness of the epidermis and cortex. It also led to a reduction in the width of the stem, the thickness of the xylem, and an increase in the thickness of the epidermis and phloem. Light stress caused a significant decrease in leaf thickness and the ratio of palisade tissue thickness to spongy tissue thickness. They addition the growth regulator PBZ causes a substantial increase in all of the anatomical characteristics of the stem, root, and leaves.

Jenderal Ahmad Yani International Airport is an airport located in the West Semarang District, Semarang City. This airport has departure and arrival terminals that facilitate domestic and international flights. Ahmad Yani International Airport also has a runway (13-31) with a length of 2,560 meters. There is airport lighting system equipment whose function is to assist and serve aircraft taking off and landing so that they can operate in cloudy, cloudy weather and at night in the runway, taxiway and apron areas. One of the equipment in the airport lighting system is the runway edge lights. Currently, the runway edge lights installed at Jenderal Ahmad Yani International Airport still use halogen type lights, which require quite a large amount of electrical power and the electricity costs incurred are not small. Replacing halogen type runway edge lights with Light Emitting Diode (LED) runway edge lights as an effort to efficiently use electrical energy. In this study the author used a comparative method to determine the comparison of the efficiency of using electrical energy between the two types of LED runway edge lights and halogen runway edge lights. From the comparison data carried out, it can be concluded that replacing halogen runway edge lights with LED runway edge lights has been proven to increase the efficiency of electrical power usage over a long period of time. From the specification data, LED lamps have a longer life time, namely 56,000 hours compared to halogen lamps, which is only 1000 hours, so the savings are also greater. From power calculations, it can be seen that LED runway edge lights have more power efficiency than halogen runway edge lights. The total power of halogen runway edge lights (2 circuits) was 21,480.58 watts, while LED runway edge lights (2 circuits) decreased by 56.2% to 9,400.58 watts.
