THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WINTER: LESSONS FROM UNFULFILLED PROMISESVLADIMIR SMETANA
Authors: Сметана Владимир Васильевич
Published: August 2024

Скорость развития искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) в современном мире может создать иллюзию, что ИИ сопровождает исключительно бурный спрос как разработчиков, так и инвесторов к этой технологии. К сожалению, история искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) - это не только история триумфальных прорывов и восхитительных открытий, но и история разочарований, невыполненных обещаний и периодов застоя. Эти периоды, известные как «зимы ИИ», характеризовались снижением финансирования, интереса со стороны научного сообщества и общественности, а также скептицизмом в отношении перспектив развития этой области знания. В этой статье мы рассмотрим основные причины наступления "зим ИИ", проанализируем уроки, извлеченные из этих неудач, и обсудим, как они повлияли на дальнейшее развитие искусственного интеллекта.

The speed of development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the modern world can create the illusion that AI accompanies an exceptionally rapid demand for this technology from both developers and investors. Unfortunately, the history of artificial intelligence (AI) is not only a story of triumphant breakthroughs and amazing discoveries, but also a story of disappointments, unfulfilled promises and periods of stagnation. These periods, known as the "AI winters", were characterized by a decrease in funding, interest from the scientific community and the public, as well as skepticism about the prospects for the development of this field of knowledge. In this article, we will look at the main causes of the onset of "AI winters", analyze the lessons learned from these failures, and discuss how they influenced the further development of artificial intelligence.
The Dialogical Ethics of Romance: Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton
Authors: Lessl Thomas M. ,   Communications Ethics Institute
Published: August 2024

Because romance puts comic plots in dialogue with tragic ones, it is especially well-suited to the exploration of complex ethical questions. This paper supports this argument by examining Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, but it does so in consideration of rhetorical ethics more broadly. Like comedy, public communication is socially purposed, created to build and maintain communities, but because public communication is also a tragic instrument of the imperfect mortals who govern, it must come to terms with their individual failings. Miranda’s Hamilton exemplifies how the “creative uncertainty” that results from such an ethical dialogue can sustain what Ronald C. Arnett calls “tenacious hope” (2022). This romance enables us to see how the motives that give rise to Hamilton’s tragic overreaching bespeak the abuses of power that tempt those who govern, but the convergence of this tragic plot with a comic one also enables us to see the democratic possibility of these same motives.
Caritas and Tzedakah: An Interfaith Understanding of Interlocutor Dynamics Surrounding the “Act” of Begging
Authors: Oldenburg Christopher J. , Daniels Adrienne E. Hacker ,   Communications Ethics Institute
Published: August 2024

This essay attempts to destigmatize the act of panhandling/begging and to mitigate the demonization of the panhandler/beggar by elucidating the meaning of charity in Christianity (caritas)—through the works of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and, contemporarily, Pope Francis and the preeminent ethicist of the twentieth century, Emmanuel Levinas—and in Judaism (tzedakah)—through the works of Maimonides. Moreover, we examine the contentious relationship between charity’s theological and secular, legal contours. We conclude by reflecting on why the act of panhandling need not be an aberration of societal norms and that caritas and tzedakah allow for the realization and actualization of central ethical tenets in interlocutor dynamics.
C. S. Peirce and the Primacy of Practice: Implications for Understanding Communication
Authors: Colapietro Vincent ,   Communications Ethics Institute
Published: August 2024

The author shows how Charles S. Peirce’s theory of semiosis (or sign-activity, or sign-process) is directly relevant to the study of communication. To do so, however, he must remove three principal obstacles, ones impeding a proper understanding of Peirce’s theoretical framework: the portrayal of Peirce as a thoroughgoing formalist; Peirce’s own tendency to allow his preoccupation with science to constrain, to some extent, the scope of his semeiotic; and the attribution of agency to signs themselves. Having addressed these obstacles, the author highlights above all three methodological implications of a Peircean approach: the need for an explicitly phenomenological, normative, and ontological study of our communicative processes and practices. In addition, he reflects on classical pragmatism as a living tradition—hence, one requiring the resources of alternative and even rival traditions. He insists that no tradition is sufficient unto itself. This is— especially regarding questions of signs, communication, dialogue, and dissemination—true of pragmatism in general and Peirce’s pragmaticism in particular. After arguing this point, the author highlights how we encounter, at the center of Peirce’s pragmatism, an affirmation of the primacy of practice. This is, however, not the reductivist thesis it is all too often taken to be. Rather this affirmation is precisely intended to honor the irreducible heterogeneity of human practices.
Some Ethical Applications of the Law of Mind
Authors: Raposa Michael L. ,   Communications Ethics Institute
Published: August 2024

Charles S. Peirce’s 1892 article on “The Law of Mind” appeared in a series devoted to his cosmological speculations. The purpose of this essay is not to evaluate Peirce’s cosmology, but rather to consider certain applications of his law that can be regarded as having a specifically ethical significance. Since the law itself describes in very general terms the growth of meaning, its application has consequences for the ethics of communication, conceived in the argument presented here primarily as an ethics of attention. After a brief explication of the law of mind itself, these consequences are identified and explored. The manner in which we choose to pay attention—both in terms of the quality and the selected objects of our attention—and the manner in which we respond to the experiences of boredom and distraction as they arise are both shown to be morally meaningful phenomena. The nature of a genuine community can also be illuminated helpfully by creative application of the law of mind.
Integrating Tenacious Hope and Feminism: Global Necessity
Authors: Pyatovskaya Evgeniya , Buzzanell Patrice M. ,   Communications Ethics Institute
Published: August 2024

Two scholars coming from different parts of the world, namely, Russia and the United States, enter into a conversation about feminist ethical dilemmas in communication scholarship and ways to address them in light of current crises unfolding around the world. In examining problems or tensions associated with gender justice, we integrate the concept of tenacious hope, developed by Arnett (2014, 2015, 2020, 2022), with processes associated with feminist theorizing to illuminate how dilemmas unfold in different locations impacted by persistent and emergent threats to human rights and gender autonomy. Tenacious hope seems to be an integral yet unrecognized quality of feminisms, which, as movements, center action and refuse to accept simpliciter that the change will suddenly materialize or just happen. Tenacious hope offers an ethical stance that, when integrated within feminisms, allows for countering the disintegration and disregard for the Other ubiquitous in today’s discourse. The concept of tenacious hope becomes a lens through which feminist ethical dilemmas and feminist activist practices can be analyzed to understand intersections, overlaps, and differences that inform communication scholarship today.

Why Christology “Matters” for Ethics
Authors: Coakley Sarah ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2024

This essay returns to the famous sociological “typology” of Christian ethics in Ernst Troeltsch’s classic Social Teaching of the Christian Churches (1912), in which “church,” “sect,” and “mystic” “types” are contrasted. It enquires whether the question of the significance of Christology for ethics is best not answered unilaterally, but more illuminatingly through this “typological” approach. Taking the near-contemporaries William Temple, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Howard Thurman as exemplars of celebrated Christologians who were also ethicists, it draws systematic comparisons between them on the basis of their “type,” but also underscores that the particular efficacy of their witness relates intrinsically to the way that their distinctive “types” correlated with, and responded to, the challenging political circumstances which they confronted.
CAPABILITY THEORY OF PERSONAL PEACEFULNESS NUANCES OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL PEACE APPROACH OF NAVAJYOTHI SRIKARUNAKARA GURU
Authors: Jnanathapaswi Swami Gurunand , Benedict Prof. Dr. K. Y.
Published: August 2024

The discourse on peace and peace education has predominantly been shaped by Eurocentric perspectives, often emphasising peace as merely the absence of conflict. This limited view overlooks the rich, diverse conceptions of peace in various cultures worldwide, particularly those that emphasise harmony as an intrinsic component of peace. Furthermore, peace research, especially within peace psychology, has yet to fully explore the potential of the Capability Approach, which offers a normative framework for evaluating individual and collective well-being beyond mere economic or material metrics. Moreover, personal peacefulness remains less explored within peace psychology, which traditionally focuses on societal-level peace processes and conflict resolution. The Capability Theory of Personal Peacefulness (CTPP), inspired by the teachings of Navajyothi Srikarunakara Guru, presents a novel, multidimensional peace approach that transcends the conventional conflict centric paradigm, integrating personal peacefulness with broader peace processes. This paper strongly advocates for including non-Eurocentric perspectives in peace studies, highlighting the necessity of a comprehensive understanding of peace that encompasses harmony, well being, and the development of individual capabilities. This approach contributes to a more inclusive, holistic view of peace education that aligns with diverse cultural values and perspectives

Pengaruh Program Kegiatan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) Di Sekolah Terhadap Sikap Kemandirian Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun
Authors: Siti Wahidah  , Enjang  , Nurul Fauziah
Published: August 2024

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the Clean and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior (PHBS) activity program on the independence attitude of children aged 4-5 years at Pembina State Kindergarten. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, this study involved 20 children in group A as samples. The research process included a pretest, four sessions of PHBS learning activities, a post-test, and interviews with educators. The results showed that the average pretest score was 59.70, indicating that most children had not shown adequate independence, such as completing tasks independently. After the implementation of the PHBS program, the average post-test score increased significantly to 160.91. Statistical analysis with SPSS produced a t-test value of -29.24, with df = 19 and a significance value (2-tailed) = 0.000, indicating a significant increase in children's independence after the implementation of the PHBS program. This finding is consistent with previous theories and studies stating that the PHBS program can effectively increase children's independence. Thus, it can be concluded that the PHBS program has a significant positive influence on increasing the independence of children aged 4-5 years at Pembina State Kindergarten. This program has proven effective in supporting children's ability to complete daily tasks independently and in managing personal health.

Indonesia and Malaysia: Convergence of Syariah Bank Rental and Conventional Bank Credit Agreements
Authors: Siregar Rahmad Nauli , Purba Hasim , Barus Utary Maharany , Sembiring Idha Aprilyana
Published: August 2024

Murabahah products from Islamic banks are often favored by bankers because they mimic conventional bank credit arrangements. The fundamental principle of murabahah is to sell a product at a price equal to the cost of the item plus an agreed-upon profit margin. From this perspective, it is suggested that debt arrangements contain components similar to credit arrangements. This study aims to investigate the relationship between Islamic banking and traditional bank credit agreements using convergence theory, which compares various legal systems or examines how their similarities and differences are correlated. The author uses a qualitative approach by analyzing existing literature on murabahah in Indonesia and Malaysia and applying convergence theory to evaluate the modifications made in murabahah practices in both countries. The study finds that the murabahah applied in Indonesia has several minor modifications that could violate Sharia principles, render the law illegitimate, and negatively affect legal certainty and protection. Malaysia uses the Bai al-Inah contract, which is applied once, whereas Indonesia uses the Murabahah contract, which is applied twice. This difference reflects how Islamic Sharia is implemented and studied in an academic context in both countries. Bai al-Inah is considered a debt, and according to Islamic fiqh, selling debt is prohibited.
Strigi gets kfile plugin support

Published: August 2024

With some help, I got the kfile stream analyzer for Strigi working. This means that Strigi will now index the meta data fields defined by the kfile-chemical plugins. The problem why it was not working earlier, was that it segfaulted on every creation of KDE classes. That’s something I really hate about C/C++: the lack of stack traces, though valgrind was helpful. It turned out that adding the below line fixed all.

Authors: Nurjannah Nurjannah , Montundu Yusuf , Yusuf Hayat
Published: August 2024

This study aims to explain the influence of Public Service Motivation (PSM) on job satisfaction and the performance of nurses at Bahteramas Regional General Hospital in Kendari. Using an explanatory research method with a population of 211 nurses distributed across various work units, this study analyzes data using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) supported by Amos software. The results show that Public Service Motivation has a positive and significant impact on both nurse performance and job satisfaction. Nurses with high motivation to serve the public tend to perform better and feel more satisfied with their work. Furthermore, job satisfaction is identified as an important factor that strengthens the influence of motivation on nurse performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that hospital management take strategic steps to enhance nurse motivation and job satisfaction through training, workshops, and reward programs. Further research is suggested to explore other variables that affect nurse performance to improve the quality of healthcare services.

The study of conventional (common commercial fish species which is consumed by people in Bangladesh like Seabass, Ribbon fish, Hilsha,Bombay duck etc.) and non-conventional (fish species which is consumed by people in Bangladesh like Milk shark, Stingray etc.) fish species at BFDC landing center was conducted to know the current condition of fish, their market demand, prices and price ifference between BFDC landing center and two popular fish market Baharchora and Borobazar. There were about 32 varieties of conventional fish species and most common were Seabass, Ribbon fish, Hilsha, Bombay duck, Mackerel, Silver pomfret, Red snapper, etc. The average price for most demandable fish were Hilsha (TK. 600-1000 kg), Silver pomfret (TK. 550-900 kg), Seabass (TK. 500-650 kg), Bombay duck (TK. 100 kg), Ribbon fish (TK. 300 kg) which varied with size and season. There were about 20 pecies of non -conventional fish including Milk shark, Stingray, Long Tung Sole, Mud spiny lobster, Mud crab etc. observed. Milk shark and Dog shark was common at the landing center. Their average size and weight were 1-2 feet and 1-3 kg which were sold for TK. 120-140 kg. The regular price of Stingray was TK.180-220 kg at the landing center with average weight of 2-8 kg. Normally marketing channel of both fish was maintained by middle men. A large number of fish from the landing center was sold to them by auction. The landing center is the common place from where local fish seller collects fish and sell by for around 15-25% of the profit. Usually, unsold raw fishes were preserved in the freezer and rests were sold to dry fish processors mainly in Nazirartek. The study shows a variation of conventional and non-conventional fish species, their price, and market demand in Cox’s Bazar region.

The study of conventional (common commercial fish species which is consumed by people in Bangladesh like Seabass,Ribbon fish, Hilsha, Bombay ducketc.) and non-conventional (fish species which is consumed by people in Bangladesh like Milk shark, Stingrayetc.) fish species at BFDC landing center was conducted to know the current condition of fish, their market demand, prices and price difference between BFDC landing center and two popular fish market Baharchora and Borobazar. There were about 32 varietiesof conventional fish species and most common were Seabass,Ribbon fish, Hilsha,Bombay duck, Mackerel, Silver pomfret, Red snapper, etc. The average price for most demandable fish were Hilsha (TK. 600-1000 kg), Silver pomfret(TK. 550-900 kg), Seabass (TK.500- 650 kg),Bombay duck(TK. 100 kg), Ribbon fish (TK. 300 kg) which varied with size and season. There were about 20 species of non- conventional fish includingMilk shark, Stingray,Long Tung Sole,Mud spiny lobster, Mud crab etc. observed. Milk sharkand Dog shark was common at the landing center. Their average size and weight were 1-2 feet and 1-3 kg which were sold for TK. 120-140 kg. The regular price of Stingray was TK.180-220 kg at the landing center with average weight of 2-8 kg. Normally marketing channel of both fish was maintained by middle men. A large number of fish from the landing center was sold to them by auction. The landing center is the common place from where local fish seller collects fish and sell by for around 15-25% of the profit. Usually, unsold raw fishes were preserved in the freezer and rests were sold to dry fish processors mainly in Nazirartek. The study shows a variation of conventional and non-conventional fish species, their price, and market demand in Cox’s Bazar region.

In Bangladesh, the cost, taste, and warm, humid climate all encourage street juice consumption. However, practices for making street juices safely have come under threat, which has led to microbial growth in the juices. The purpose of this study is to look into the practices and cleanliness of the street sellers as well as the microbiological load. A pretested questionnaire was used to evaluate 71 roadside vendors' awareness of food safety practices. For the purpose of microbiological quantification, representative samples of 10 lemon juice and 10 sugarcane juice were obtained from 20 merchants out of the 71 respondents. The range of Total Plate Count (TPC) and Total Coliform Count (TCC) for lemon juice was 8.58×102 -4.38×104 cfu/ml and 6-34 cfu/ml respectively. For sugarcane juice the counts were 1.24×104 -8.34×104 cfu/ml and 17-54 cfu/ml respectively. Some food safety and hygiene practices and knowledge showed significant associations with the microbial load in the fruit juices including lack of safety knowledge on food poisoning (70%), presence of microorganism on dirty hands (70%), elevation of contamination on food by insanitary surroundings (70%) reluctance to wearing gloves (75%), poor waste management facilities (73%). Therefore, the study recommends focused food safety training to minimize microbial contamination.

The covid-19 pandemic is likely to have substantial effects not only on the human being in Bangladesh but also on smallholder dairy farmers who were more affected because of the perishability nature of the product. The study was carried out to examine the impact of covid-19 on the dairy farming sector at Karnafully upazila in the Chattogram district of Bangladesh from an economic standpoint. Primary data were collected using a random sampling technique from smallholder dairy farms in the study area. Descriptive statistics and econometric methods were used to measure the socioeconomic status and farm profitability of dairy farmers. To analyze farm milk productivity, a Cobb-Douglas production function was estimated. A significant association of feed cost, milk price, household income and return from dairy farming between after covid and before covid period was found using t-test results. The study revealed that net return was higher before covid (BDT7972.19) than after covid (BDT4869.41) period. The production functions exhibited increasing returns to scale in both periods but comparatively in the covid-19 period it declined. The results also showed that feed costs increased but milk price, household income and return from dairy farming decreased due to covid-19 and the results are statistically significant (P
Evaluation of NCI-Designated Cancer Center and Comprehensive Cancer Center Survivorship-Focused Websites: Information Provided and Accessibility

Background: Individuals with a history of cancer increasingly seek health information from online resources, including NCI-designated Cancer Center websites. Centers receive NCI designation because they provide excellent care and engage in cutting-edge research. However, the information presented on these webpages and their accessibility is unknown. An evaluation of the survivorship-focused webpages from NCI-designated Cancer Centers is needed to assess survivorship information and accessibility of these webpages. Methods: We conducted an evaluation of the survivorship-focused webpages from 64 NCI-designated Cancer Centers. We evaluated where survivorship-focused webpages were housed, if there was a survivorship clinic or program, target audience of the webpage, how cancer survivor was defined, contact methods, and available resources. Accessibility outcomes included readability, font type, font size, color scheme, and alternative text (alt text) descriptors. An artificial intelligence (AI) audit was conducted to assess if the webpage was compliant with national accessibility guidelines. Results: Most cancer centers had a survivorship-focused webpage, with 72% located on the cancer center’s website and 28% on a health system website. Survivorship information available varied considerably and was often lacking in detail. Although three-quarters of webpages targeted patients only, variable definitions of cancer survivor were observed. Accessibility issues identified included inconsistent use of alt text descriptors, font size smaller than 15 points, and color schemes without adequate contrast. The average reading-level of information presented was above 12th grade. Only 9% of webpages were compliant with online accessibility guidelines; 72% semicompliant and 21% were noncompliant. Conclusions: Information presented on NCI-designated Cancer Center survivorship-focused webpages was inconsistent, often lacking, and inaccessible. NCI-designated Cancer Centers are role models for cancer research in the United States and have an obligation to provide survivorship information. Changes to content and website design are needed to provide better information for individuals seeking resources and health information relative to their cancer and care.
Current and Emerging Biomarkers: Impact on Risk Stratification for Neuroblastoma
Authors: Irwin Meredith S. , Goldsmith Kelly C.
Published: August 2024

Neuroblastoma has heterogenous clinical presentations that are reflected by several well-defined clinical factors and biomarkers. Combinations of these clinical and biologic prognostic factors have been used for decades to generate classifiers to stratify patients into risk groups (low, intermediate, and high), which in turn are used to inform and tailor treatment as reported in the new NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Neuroblastoma. Risk classification uses clinical features, such as age and tumor stage, along with the most significant prognostic tumor biomarkers, including histologic features (differentiation and mitosis-karyorrhexis index), MYCN amplification status, chromosomal copy number alterations (segmental or numerical), and ploidy (DNA content). Recent next-generation sequencing approaches have identified additional tumor-specific genetic factors that have potential roles as prognostic and predictive biomarkers. These emerging biomarkers include telomerase maintenance mechanisms, such as telomerase reverse transcription (TERT) expression and alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) status. Somatic alterations of genes, including mutations in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene ALK, detected in >10% of patients with newly diagnosed disease, have both prognostic and predictive roles in determining eligibility for targeted therapies (eg, ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors). In addition to diagnostic tumor-derived biomarkers, significant effort is being directed toward identification of markers to predict response to chemotherapy and immunotherapies. With the increasing use of GD2-containing immunotherapy regimens, efforts are aimed at identifying host or tumor microenvironment immune correlatives that can serve as predictive biomarkers. Understanding the potential role of liquid biopsies as biomarkers during and following treatment, including sequential circulating tumor DNA or tumor-specific mRNA transcripts, is expected to enhance the ability to predict recurrences and also inform understanding of tumor evolution and therapy resistance. These and other emerging biomarkers will lead to refinement and optimization of future neuroblastoma risk classification systems.
