Authors: Mendoza Vélez Mercedes Maribel , Navarrete Pita Yulexy
Published: January 2025

El desarrollo de entornos virtuales de aprendizaje en el área de Ciencias Naturales se presenta como una estrategia innovadora para mejorar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. El objetivo fue diseñar un sistema de actividades apoyado en entornos virtuales de aprendizaje para el área de Ciencias Naturales en educación secundaria. Se empleó un enfoque mixto, utilizando una guía de observación y encuestas a 72 estudiantes y 3 docentes. La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo mediante una guía de observación, que registró las interacciones en el entorno virtual, y una encuesta dirigida a los estudiantes sobre su experiencia con los recursos digitales. Como resultados, se observó que, aunque la comprensión de los contenidos es mayoritariamente positiva, algunos docentes indican que ocurre solo ocasionalmente. La colaboración grupal es menor que la participación individual, y las dificultades técnicas afectan el aprendizaje. Las encuestas revelaron que los estudiantes manejan los recursos digitales con facilidad, pero algunos enfrentan problemas técnicos y muestran motivación moderada. Se propusieron actividades enfocadas en capacitaciones de Google Classroom y talleres interactivos para mejorar la experiencia de aprendizaje en entornos digitales. Se puede concluir que en los sistemas educativos actuales es necesaria la implementación y validación de actividades educativas apoyadas en tecnologías digitales, como Google Classroom, para mejorar la motivación, comprensión y colaboración en estudiantes. Se enfatiza la importancia de capacitar a docentes y estudiantes en el uso de recursos digitales.

Expérience et attente des Anesthésistes-Réanimateurs dans les pratiques cliniques et didactiques d’épargne du sang en chirurgie majeure
Authors: Mukendi Kadiana Pierre
Published: January 2025

Bleeding in the operating room is a major concern for anaesthetists, who seek to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with anaemia and the use of labile blood products. Our study aims to understand the experience and expectation of anaesthetists in Kinshasa regarding clinical and didactic practices in major surgery. We used a phenomenological qualitative approach, with semi-structured individual interviews. Anaesthetists use various strategies such as positioning, monitoring, GA, ALR, RSPO, HNV, haemostatics, oxygen and blood substitutes, sometimes preferring these methods to controlled hypotension. Their expectation is to obtain adequate training and appropriate equipment, while respecting patients' religious beliefs regarding blood transfusion, especially as our patients who refuse blood are often cases of extreme emergency. Blood sparing, particularly through induced and controlled hypotension, is of great importance in major surgery to prevent excessive blood loss. It is necessary to promote a paradigm shift towards this practice, despite its current under-representation in the medical literature. These practices must be taught for the benefit of patients.

Published: January 2025

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is one of the most important economic trees with deteriorating health conditions observed in recent years. The work aimed to compare and evaluate the regulation of gene activities involved in defense mechanisms under biotic and abiotic stress conditions in a group of healthy individuals of Scots pine and individuals damaged by the pine beetle (Phaenops cyanea). Determination of the relative gene expression levels of twelve selected genes was carried out by qPCR analysis in samples of Scots pine needles collected at two localities, Stará Boleslav and Podbrahy. At both monitored locations we noted the same trends in the regulation of the relative gene expression profile for seven genes (CHS, CH5B, PR_P2, PO12, PAAL, SUCSYN3 and USP A), including a significant increase in the relative gene expression level of the phenylalanine-ammonia lyase (PAAL) involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and lignin in plants, in the group of damaged individuals compared to the control group at the locality Stará Boleslav. For both groups of samples (healthy and damaged individuals) we noticed considerable variability in the measured data related to many variable factors of the external environment and the genotype of each individual, even when comparing both habitats.

The effect of the first thinning in fir thickets 3–5 years after the intervention was evaluated at eleven sites. Two sub-plots were established at each site: one control and one thinned. One thousand promising fir trees per hectare in each plot were marked. These trees were then released from 1–2 competitors. The average annual increment of the mean stem diameter, slenderness ratio and crown ratio were evaluated on a set of target trees (1,000 silver-fir trees per hectare). The first thinning resulted in an acceleration of the diameter growth of the released target trees at most sites. Higher average diameter growth on the thinned treatment was recorded at ten of the eleven sites. On the thinned treatment, the mean slenderness ratio of the target firs was slightly more favourable at 82 compared to the control 87 (difference = -5.3; DF = 1,8; SE = 1.40; p = 0.005), and their mean crown ratio was also higher at 0.73 compared to the control at 0.68 (difference = 0.05; DF= 1,8; SE = 0.015; p = 0.02).
Produkční schopnosti dubu červeného (Quercus rubra L.) na různých stanovištích v českých lesích

Published: January 2025

Red oak (Quercus rubra L.) is one of the most abundant non-native tree species in Czech forests. According to data from 2023, it occupies 6,719 ha, which represents 0.25% of an forested area. The average age of red oak in the Czech Republic is 52 years. The paper deals with the assessment of production capacity in 33 plots of 0.06 ha, established in 11 forest areas. The age of the plots ranged from 40 to 134 years at the time of the inventory, which took place between 2020 and 2023. The median height ranged from 18 m to 34 m, the median DBH ranged from 18 cm to 59 cm and the median stem volume ranged from 0.28 m3 to 3.20 m3. The standing volume per hectare ranged from 166 m3 to 1772 m3; the big difference is based on both the age and the number of trees per the plots. Almost all the plots showed an excellent health of red oak. Results of the investigation show a high production potential of red oak even in comparison with the average values for this tree species in the forest management records. Given that its adaptive potential to predicted climate change (especially drought and temperature extremes) appears to be higher than that of European native oaks, its importance is expected to increase in the future.

The paper deals with silvicultural models for transformation of one silver birch dominated, naturally regenerated, 22.5-year-old stand, which is situated in the central part of the Czech Republic and grows in an Abieto-Fagetum illimerosum mesotrophicum forest site. Field analysis comprised measuring of the DBH and qualitative analyses of birch trees in a permanent research plot 0.25 ha in size. High growing stock – 241 m3/ha (the best site index for birch) was accompanied by 48 of the best quality birch trees with a smaller DBH – only 17 cm. In total, 10 basic models combining forest management intensity and silvicultural system were designed for this experimental stand. The SWOT analysis was conducted to compare the silvicultural models.
Zachování genetických zdrojů rezistentních variant smrku ztepilého v Krušných horách – review
Authors: Frýdl Josef , Novotný Petr
Published: January 2025

In recent years, efforts to mitigate the effects of drought and ongoing environmental changes have focused on preserving and reproducing the unique native genetic resources of Norway spruce from the Ore Mountains. These selected variants have demonstrated remarkable resilience to pollution during periods of high immission load in the region. The successful preservation and vegetative propagation of these resistant variants of Krušné hory Norway spruce have been preserved and propagated vegetatively in ex situ conditions. This review summarizes available references regarding the use and improvement of vegetative propagation methods aimed at recovering and conserving selected clones of resistant variants of Norway spruce in the Ore Mountains, with an emphasis on their practical application in forestry practice. Improvements in vegetative propagation methods have led to the cultivation of secondary cuttings, which exhibit significantly higher vitality compared to primary cuttings. The paper also highlights a practical application of these methods through the revitalization and reconstruction of an old clone archive of resistant Norway spruce variants. This reconstructed clonal archive, having been established in the Krušné hory region under in situ conditions, has emerged as a key outcome of a recently concluded research project in the Ore Mountains.

Authors: Nur Laela Alydrus  , Ka’bah  , Rugayyah Alyidrus  , Risky Nurul Fadlila RN  , Fika Andriani
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are a major public health concern, especially in remote indigenous communities with limited access to clean water and sanitation. This study aimed to investigate the influence of personal hygiene practices on the prevalence of STH infections in children in the Ammatoa Kajang community of Bulukumba Regency, Indonesia.
Methods: An observational case series was conducted among children aged 3-13 years in the Ammatoa Kajang community. Data on personal hygiene practices were collected through questionnaires and interviews, while stool samples were examined for STH infections using the Kato-Katz method. Data were analyzed using correlation tests to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and STH prevalence.
Results: The prevalence of STH infection was 45%, with Ascaris lumbricoides being the most common (30%), followed by Trichuris trichiura (10%) and hookworm (5%). Poor personal hygiene practices, such as infrequent handwashing, not using soap after defecation, and not wearing footwear, were significantly associated with an increased risk of STH infection.
Conclusion: Personal hygiene plays a crucial role in the prevalence of STH infections among children in the Ammatoa Kajang community. Health promotion programs focused on improving personal hygiene practices, along with improved sanitation facilities, are essential for reducing the burden of STH infections in this remote indigenous community.

Architecture of Vojvodina at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and emergence of facade ceramics
Authors: Janjušević Bogdan
Published: January 2025

Ceramic tiles, derived from baked clay, serve as finishing materials for walls and floors, both within the interior and exterior of buildings. These tiles come in diverse colors, textures, and profiles. The earliest instances of ceramic tile production trace back to the Middle East, dating back several centuries BC. Following the Roman conquest of these regions, the production technology spread to Europe. Nevertheless, this artistic form disappeared from European soil in the early Middle Ages, only to resurface on a larger scale in the 17th century in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the Middle East and Turkey preserved their tile/ making traditions, distinguished by floral and geometric ornaments. The widespread use of ceramic tiles, specifically facade ceramics on building exteriors across Europe, coincides with the emergence of a new architectural and artistic style at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, marked by diverse influences. The study focuses on ceramic tiles and facade decorations during this period in Vojvodina. The fin-de-siècle period in Europe ushered in significant changes in urbanization, scientific advancements, technological innovations, and cultural transformations. As a result of accelerated technological progress and a profound shift in lifestyle, particularly in major urban centers, a novel perception of art and architecture gradually emerged towards the end of the century. Visionary creators recognized the futility of replicating historical patterns, which had reached a creative impasse after several decades. This realization paved the way for a fresh stylistic expression known by various names: Art Nouveau in Belgium and France, Secession in Austria, Modern Style and Arts and Crafts in England, Liberty or Floral Style (Stile floreale) in Italy, Jugendstil in Bavaria, Free Style in Scotland, Catalan Modernism (Modernisme català) in Catalonia, World of Art (Mir iskusstva) in Russia, and other movements. A shared feature of these movements is the revival of crafts and the utilization of natural materials such as wood, stone, and ceramics.
Façade ceramics on the residential and business building by architects Milenija and Darko Marušić in Novi Sad, recipient of the "Borba" award
Authors: Antešević Nebojša , Gubić Ilija
Published: January 2025

The "Borba" award, established in 1965 by the Belgrade daily newspaper Borba, became the most prestigious architectural accolade in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). It was introduced to promote outstanding architectural achievements across all the republics and recognize exceptional architectural works that contributed to the aesthetic, humane, and practical living conditions of the socialist state. Initially awarded at the republic level, top national projects were nominated for a federal award. In several instances the Federal Jury acknowledged the need for better representation of housing projects, though no separate award for this typology was ever introduced. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1991, the "Borba" award continued in Serbia and Montenegro. In 1998, the award went to Milenija and Darko Marušić for their "two-face" housing block in Novi Sad. The authors used façade ceramics referencing traditional architecture of Vojvodina. Despite its eventual discontinuation due to financial constraints, the award represented one of the few pan-Yugoslav platforms where architectural ideas and achievements were debated, critiqued, and celebrated, leaving a significant mark on the architectural history of the region.
The city: A place of fun and happiness
Authors: Reba Darko
Published: January 2025

Entertainment spaces that bring happiness to city residents have been integral to urban life since ancient times and in older cultures These spaces were likely the most frequented places in settlements, serving as hubs for positive emotions and satisfaction. The paper analyzes the structures in urban morphology that contributed to residents gathering around the programs that caused the greatest happiness and positive emotions, spanning from ancient cities and the Middle Ages to modern times in the cities of Vojvodina. The paper highlights that the greatest amount of knowledge and advanced techniques, artistic qualities and energy, urban characteristics and architecture have always been invested in spaces that enhance residents' positive emotions. Unfortunately urban programs with such themes have increasingly been neglected in Vojvodina cities in recent years, with fewer being developed.

Published: January 2025

In this research, vegetation indices (VI) were analyzed as tools for assessing the vegetative growth, using satellite images from the Sentinel-2 and Planet Explorer systems. These images allow the quantification of the reflection of electromagnetic radiation, which provides a detailed insight into the health and dynamics of plants. The aim of the study is to observe the impact of a windbreak on agricultural crops. The research calculated indices such as NDVI, GNDVI, GLI and TVI, and leaf chlorophyll indices, which are used to assess the density, health and stress of vegetation at different locations. Each index has a specific application in the analysis of plant cover and plant health, and the results vary depending on the location and the vegetation phenophase. The impact of agroforestry systems on the surrounding agricultural crop has been recorded, and depends on the size of the trees, condition and area of the windbreaks. Windbreaks have a positive impact on crops in the immediate vicinity. The analysis of the relevant vegetation indices revealed that their values are higher than the rest of the plot. Contrary to this, where windbreaks were not established, a positive effect in terms of biomass, chlorophyll content or general condition was absent. Satellite technologies and vegetation indices enable fast and efficient monitoring of the vegetative growth, but the accuracy of these analyzes depends on the incorporation of additional field data. The use of satellite images from different systems enables effective monitoring of vegetation in real time, while more detailed analyzes can provide insight into the impact of windbreaks on the surrounding plant cover. Further refinement of the methodology is recommended in order to increase the accuracy and reliability of the conclusions.
Misunderstandings and Misconceptions in the Application of Nonverbal Communication in the Spanish Legal-Forensic Context
Authors: Puente-López Esteban , Pina David , Arce Ramón
Published: January 2025

Background and objective: In both the general and specialized population, certain beliefs are held that relate nonverbal communication (NVC) to the probability that a person is telling the truth or lying. However, the evidence indicates that there is no nonverbal indicator or marker that can accurately and reliably discriminate between honest and dishonest testimony, warning of the pseudoscientificity of these techniques. Despite this, the use of NVC indicators is widely used in the fields of security and justice. Therefore, the present work aims to analyze the errors, practical utility and inadequate uses underlying the current practice of NVC in the Spanish legal-forensic context. Method: We made a review of the available evidence regarding NVC, as well as of the legal process and scientific criteria in the technical forensic field of the application of these techniques. Conclusions: The evidence on the use of NVC in the legal-forensic context is extremely limited, especially in the Spanish population, and does not meet the Daubert standards of admissibility of scientific evidence, i.e., judicially it is pseudoscientific evidence. This applies not only to its use in the detection of lying or deception, but also in all the practices in which the discipline has taken refuge, such as in processes of credibility of testimony in any type of crime, or in the assessment of emotional coherence or congruence
Actualidad de Baltasar Gracián: Ejercicios espirituales para un sujeto problematizado y crítica de la cultura
Authors: Alcalá Rodríguez Francisco Javier
Published: January 2025

El presente trabajo pretende explorar la actualidad del pensamiento de Baltasar Gracián a propósito del sujeto y la cultura a partir de las filosofías de Michel Foucault y José Ortega y Gasset. En primer lugar, se analizará la caracterización del sujeto graciano desde el prisma de La hermenéutica del sujeto como representante de una modernidad alternativa en que la separación entre la filosofía y la espiritualidad no llega a consumarse. En segundo lugar, se elucidará la ambivalencia de Gracián a propósito del artificio en relación con la crítica de la cultura y la técnica, tomando como referencia la crisis de la capacidad de desear planteada en Meditación de la técnica como causa de la crisis cultural de la época. Ambas incursiones tratarán de poner de manifiesto la relevancia del pensamiento de Gracián en la época contemporánea, caracterizada frecuentemente como un Neobarroco.

Modelling and Analysis of Autonomous Airport Surface Movement Operations based on Multi-Agent Planning
Authors: Von der Burg Malte , Sharpanskykh Alexei
Published: January 2025

Both EASA and SESAR JU define a vision and roadmap towards an autonomous air traffic management system. Furthermore, past and ongoing SESAR JU projects investigate how to increase the efficiency and predictability of current operations by means of automation. In this paper, we explore the operational implications that result from fully-automated airport surface movement operations modelled with high realism. A hierarchical multi-agent system model was developed to coordinate and control all movements on the airport surface. It comprises the Airport Operations Agent to handle the flight schedule and runway configuration, the Routing Agent to compute conflict-free trajectories, and the Guidance Agents to instruct and monitor the Aircraft Agents while these execute the planned routes. The model incorporates the decisive processes and elements of airport surface movement operations such as pushback, engine-start, inbound and outbound holding, compliance to CTOT-slots, and wake turbulence separation for takeoffs. To compute conflict-free trajectories for all taxiing agents, we tailored and extended state-of-the-art multi-agent motion planning algorithms: the two-level routing algorithm combines Priority-Based Search (PBS) with Safe Interval Path Planning (SIPP). We defined different sizes of aircraft, accounted for a minimal safety distance between them, and calibrated their speed limits in curves with historic ADS-B data. Using the real-world flight schedules of two of the busiest days at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, including different runway configurations, we examine the performance of the autonomous taxiing system with respect to the historic operations. For the considered simulation conditions, we show that the MAS yields 30% lower taxi times that vary less and are more predictable, and increases runway capacity.

Cancer Treatment in Geriatric Animals
Authors: DiNatale Constance
Published: January 2025

Geriatric patients are often both Qi and Blood Deficient. As weakness and Deficiency progress, Evil Qi (Xie Qi) can invade. This disease process manifests as accumulation of Phlegm and Stagnation of Qi and Blood forming cancer. Cancers need to be addressed differently based on their TCVM pattern. If there is obvious Spleen Qi Deficiency, Liver Qi Stagnation or Blood or Yin Deficiency, that also needs to be treated or even considered first. Even more so than younger animals, geriatric patients need to have harmony restored to their bodies for cancer treatment to be most effective. In cancer due to Blood Stagnation/Stasis besides the presence of a mass, the animal may have agitation or anxiety, increased thirst, panting and Heat signs. The tongue is usually purple and the pulses are wiry, choppy and tense or weak. Acupuncture points, Chinese herbal medicine, Tui-na and Food Therapy are selected to invigorate and move Blood, resolve Stagnation/Stasis and support underlying Qi/Blood Deficiency. Animals with cancer associated with Qi and/or Blood Deficiency have a mass, but also have pelvic limb weakness, lethargy, increased sleep, dry hair coat and foot pads with a lavender or pale tongue and weak thin pulses. Acupuncture points, Chinese herbal medicine, Tui-na and Food Therapy are selected to tonify Qi and Blood support the Kidney and strengthen the Spleen and move Stagnation. With traditional Chinese veterinary medicine treatments, many geriatric animals may live in harmony with their cancer for prolonged periods and enjoy a high quality of life.

Authors: Dueñas Holguín Beatriz Liliana , Moreno Cevallos Jose Ricardo
Published: January 2025

Este estudio de revisión bibliográfica tiene como objetivo analizar las prácticas de gestión del talento humano en el sector público y su impacto en la eficiencia organizacional y el desempeño institucional. La metodología empleada consistió en una revisión sistemática de la literatura reciente sobre el tema, considerando artículos y estudios que abordan la relación entre la gestión del talento humano y la mejora del desempeño en las organizaciones públicas. Los principales resultados obtenidos indican que la implementación de programas de capacitación continua y el uso de un modelo basado en competencias son factores claves para incrementar la eficiencia organizacional en el sector público. Se encontró que, al alinear las competencias de los empleados con los objetivos estratégicos de la organización, se logra una mayor efectividad en la ejecución de tareas y una mejora en la productividad y satisfacción laboral. Además, la adopción de políticas de reconocimiento y recompensa, basadas en el rendimiento, contribuye significativamente a la motivación y desempeño de los empleados, lo que a su vez mejora la eficiencia operativa. Sin embargo, también se observó que la efectividad de estas políticas depende de factores contextuales, como el marco normativo y la cultura organizacional. Las conclusiones destacan que, aunque la gestión del talento humano es un factor esencial para mejorar la eficiencia en el sector público, su éxito depende de la implementación adecuada de políticas, la evaluación continua y la adaptación a las características específicas de cada institución. Se recomienda un enfoque integral que considere tanto las prácticas de recursos humanos como los aspectos socioculturales y estructurales de las organizaciones públicas.

A Study on the Healing Meaning of the Pure Land(淨土)
Authors:   Humanities Meditation Res inst, Kim Seon-Hwa
Published: January 2025

The Pure Land (淨土) is described in Buddhism as an ideal world free from suffering, reflecting humanity’s aspiration to transcend afflictions and attain peace. The purpose of this study is to explore the healing significance of the Pure Land and its role from a contemporary perspective. The research first examines the concept and characteristics of the Pure Land through the Three Pure Land Sutras and the Vimalakirti Sutra, and the Lotus Sutra delving into the underlying meanings of the Pure Land. Subsequently, it investigates the Pure Land as a healing space, focusing on temples and pilgrimage paths, drawing on related studies. Finally, the study considers the modern implications and roles of the Pure Land. Unlike previous studies on Pure Land that were mainly limited to religious perspectives, this study used a psychological approach to shed light on the significance of Pure Land as a psychological resource for a better life for modern people.

A \(\mathcal{Y}\) tree on \(k\) vertices is denoted by \(\mathcal{Y}_k\). To decompose a graph into \(\mathcal{Y}_k\) trees, it is necessary to create a collection of subgraphs that are isomorphic to \(\mathcal{Y}_k\) tree and are all distinct. It is possible to acquire the necessary condition to decompose \(K_m(n)\) into \(\mathcal{Y}_k\) trees (\(k \geq 5\)), which has been obtained as \(n^2m(m-1) \equiv 0 \pmod{2(k-1)}\).

Electric shock accidents remain a major safety concern for distribution workers. Recent advancements in video AI applications allow for detecting when workers cross safety lines, but determining their height and the spatial distance between them and live equipment is still a challenge. This article proposes a pre-control system using LiDAR, an edge processing module, and a warning module to ensure safe operations in power distribution scenarios. The system scans the area in real time, uses deep learning to identify objects like distribution stations, human bodies, high-voltage equipment, and transmission lines in point clouds, and calculates the distance between operators and high-voltage equipment. When this distance approaches or exceeds safety limits, the warning module issues voice alerts. Experimental results show that this system significantly reduces false alarms compared to video-based methods, accurately measures distances, and provides timely warnings, making it a practical solution for enhancing worker safety in power distribution operations.

This study investigates the impact of gamification teaching on students’ motivation in physical education using questionnaires, teaching experiments, and mathematical statistics. A gamified sports teaching model, grounded in the self-determination motivation theory and analyzed through a multiple regression model, was designed to assess motivational stimulation. Results showed that gamified physical education significantly improved motivation in the experimental class compared to the control class (P < 0.05). The average physical education score in the experimental class was 77.67, 5.08 points higher than the control class. Internal motivation, identity regulation, intake regulation, and external regulation ratings were 4.132, 3.992, 4.172, and 4.156, respectively. Regression analysis confirmed that gamified teaching positively influenced motivation, with self-determination theory effectively mediating students’ physical education learning motivation.

Special attention has been given to China’s socio-economic development, the gradual improvement of living standards, and the increasing emphasis on preschool education by families and society. However, this process is influenced by various factors, such as school conditions, family dynamics, teacher performance, and social influences, which negatively affect the quality of kindergarten brand image and learning outcomes. These challenges hinder the effective empowerment of children across different fields. To achieve the goals of kindergarten education, teachers should leverage the comprehensive nurturing value of labor education to maximize and optimize its educational impact. Kindergarten brand image evaluation is a critical component of early childhood education, helping educators and researchers assess its effectiveness and identify areas for development. This paper addresses the issues in China’s current kindergarten brand image evaluation practices and proposes an evaluation method based on the support vector mechanism (SVM) and component analysis to enhance evaluation quality. The proposed approach aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of kindergarten brand image assessments, contributing to the advancement of early childhood education.

This study explores how employee satisfaction moderates the relationship between corporate performance and innovative behavior using deep learning models: Autoencoder and restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM). The Autoencoder extracts key features for better analysis, while the RBM-based model analyzes the relationships among employee satisfaction, corporate performance, and innovative behavior. Results show a positive correlation between employee satisfaction and innovative behavior (0.460) and between innovative behavior and corporate performance (0.348). Regression analysis reveals that employee satisfaction indirectly impacts corporate performance through innovative behavior (impact: 0.10, t = 5.25). Differences in satisfaction, innovative behavior, and performance were observed across employee attributes. This study highlights the role of employee satisfaction in enhancing corporate performance and innovation, offering insights for human resource strategies.

Published: January 2025

To address large prediction errors in traditional risk assessment methods, the X-means clustering algorithm is utilized to segment financial product customers, combined with correlation strength analysis to understand customer behaviors and needs. Using the Hoteling model, a two-step pricing strategy is proposed, revealing that data product prices are inversely proportional to depreciation rate, timeliness, and customization degree, and deriving the platform’s optimal pricing strategy. A financial risk indicator system is developed using principal component analysis for systematic risk assessment. In call option pricing prediction, the model converges at Epoch=40, achieving a normalized predicted price of 0.154 (true value: 0.153). For put options, the model converges at Epoch=100, with a predicted normalized price of 0.146 (true value: 0.145). The results demonstrate the model’s accuracy in pricing prediction, providing effective support for real-time market risk monitoring and timely risk prevention.

A positive integer \(k\) is called a magic constant if there is a graph \(G\) along with a bijective function \(f\) from \(V(G)\) to the first \(|V(G)|\) natural numbers such that the weight of the vertex \(w(v) = \sum_{uv \in E} f(u) = k\) for all \(v \in V\). It is known that all odd positive integers greater than or equal to \(3\) and the integer powers of \(2\), \(2^{t}\), \(t \geq 6\), are magic constants. In this paper, we characterize all positive integers that are magic constants and generate all distance magic graphs, up to isomorphism, of order up to \(10\).
