Background and Aim:

Pain complaints are one of the primary reasons patients seek musculoskeletal care in the U. S. Veterans Health Administration. While research surrounding the pain experience has rapidly evolved, practicing clinicians often struggle to keep up with evidence-based recommendations and guidelines. The purpose of this project was to explore the efficacy of a 6-month education and mentoring program on physical therapist (PT) and PT assistant pain knowledge and confidence in providing evidence-based pain care.

Materials and Methods:

A 6-month education and mentoring program occurred across three sites with a focus on biopsychosocial pain care principles and treatment based on the mechanism-based classifications of pain. Data collection occurred at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months to include pain knowledge (revised Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire [rNPQ]), health-care attitudes and beliefs (Health Care Providers Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale [HC-PAIRS]), self-reported confidence addressing program objectives and self-reported satisfaction in assessing and treating patients with persistent pain.

Results and Conclusion:

Physical therapy professionals (n = 15) demonstrated improved scores on rNPQ and HC-PAIRS with medium effect size at 3 months (d = 0.57; d = 0.73) and 6 months (d = 0.71; d = 0.59). Self-reported confidence addressing program objectives demonstrated improvement across all 13 objectives from baseline to 3 months (0.8 mean diff) and 6 months (1.2 mean diff). The findings from this project support the efficacy of a 6-month education and mentorship program for improving pain knowledge, health-care attitudes and beliefs, and self-rated confidence and satisfaction in treating patients experiencing persistent pain among practicing physical therapy professionals.

Authors: Ramsahaye Atmika Y M , Sasidharan K Rajesh , Thulasi Arun , Rawat Vikas
Published: September 2024

Yoga has been acclaimed for its therapeutic benefits which are usually associated with the practice of asana, pranayama, and meditation. The counseling part of yoga therapy, cough not as explored as the practical aspect, dates back to ancient texts where the Guru acted as a counselor and the Shishya the counselee. This review explores yoga as a form of counselling and the means of incorporating it in conventional counseling. The aim of this study is to review the literature related to the application of yoga in psychological counseling, to assess the techniques and theories of Yoga-based Counselling (YBC) as well as to propose key aspects of YBC. Based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS were searched from the date of conception till August 2021. The MeSH terms and keywords “counselling,” “psychotherapy,” “yoga,” “yogic,” “bhagavad gita,” “patanjali,” and “ramayana” were used to search the databases as appropriate. The exclusion criteria for the search included yogic practices which do not explore counseling techniques or focus only on asana, pranayama, meditation, and relaxation. Out of the forty-nine articles, twenty-four articles were reviewed based on the study requirement. The articles were coded and qualitatively analyzed using the inductive thematic approach. The preliminary open coding of the articles was carried out by the first author. Themes and additional sub-themes were assigned and reviewed by the co-authors. The findings of the final list of studies have helped in evolving themes relevant to the application of YBC. The emerging themes are the theoretical foundation of YBC, integrating yogic counseling in psychotherapy, stages of counseling, ethical consideration, and precautions to be followed during sessions. These can act as guidelines for therapists willing to adopt YBC. This review delineates the ways in which YBC can be adapted in conventional counseling settings. The theoretical foundations and stages of applying YBC may give a consolidated understanding of yogic counseling. Likewise, the ethical considerations and precautions required during YBC for the smooth flow of sessions are highlighted.

The study aimed to compute the effective dose (E) and size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) of routine adult patients undergoing thorax and abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging and to present their multivariate analysis. All adult thorax and abdominal CT examinations conducted from March 2022 to June 2022 were prospectively included in this study. The Water Equivalent Diameter (Dw
) and SSDE of all the examinations were computed from CT dose index volume (CTDIvol
) and Dose length product (DLP) displayed on the dose report in the CT console. The multivariate statistical analysis was performed to investigate the correlation of SSDE and E on CTDIvol
, Dw
area of the region of interest (ROI) (AreaROI
), body mass index (BMI), conversion factor (fsize) and hounsfield (HUmean
) number in the ROI at 95% level of significance (P < 0.05). The linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the dependence of SSDE and E on other parameters for both abdominal and thorax patients. A total number of 135 (Abdomen = 61 and Thorax = 74) measurements were performed. The mean value of effective dose for abdomen and thorax patients was found to be 7.17 ± 3.94 and 4.89 ± 2.16 mSv, respectively. The SSDE was observed to be 13.24 ± 3.61 and 13.04 ± 3.61 mGy for thorax and abdomen respectively. The multivariate analysis suggests that SSDE for abdominal CT is found significantly dependent on CTDIvol
, Dw
and fsize
with P < 0.05 and E is found to be significantly dependent on DLP, AreaROI
, Dw
and fsize
at 95% level of confidence for abdominal CT imaging. SSDE for thorax CT was found significantly dependent on BMI, CTDIvol
, HUmean
, Dw
and fsize
at 95% level of confidence. Furthermore, E was observed dependent on DLP at P < 0.05. The linear regression analysis also shows that E is strongly correlated with DLP (r = 1.0) for both thorax and abdominal CT, further the SSDE was observed strongly correlated with CTDIvol
with r = 0.79 and r = 0.86 for abdomen and thorax CT respectively. A strong correlation was observed between BMI and for Dw
abdominal CT imaging (r = 0.68). The mean value of SSDE for thorax is slightly greater than abdomen. The average value of effective dose for abdomen and thorax measurements was found to be 7.17 ± 3.94 and 4.89 ± 2.16 mSv and , correspondingly. SSDE for both abdomen and thorax CT is significantly dependent on CTDIvol
, Dw
and fsize
at 95% level of confidence. The strong correlation was also observed E on DLP and SSDE on CTDIvol
for both Abdomen and Thorax CT. The strong dependence of Dw
on BMI (r = 0.68) is due to the excessive fat concentration around the stomach and abdomen.

Authors: Sahana N S , Yadava Satish T. , Choudhary Bibha , Ravindran Febina , Khatoon Hajira , Kulkarni Meghashyama
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Despite advances in diagnostics and therapeutics, two-thirds of oral cancer patients present with advanced disease, which increases both the morbidity and mortality risk. Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are released in the circulation by primary tumours and have been demonstrated to have significant correlations between their occurrence and disease progression.

Objectives:

To characterize the circulating tumour cells in subjects with histologically diagnosed oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Materials and Methods:

This pilot study was undertaken with ten fresh blood samples (6 ml each). Five samples from apparently healthy individuals and five OSCC samples were cultured and subjected to flow cytometric analysis for CD44 expression. Immunostaining was done using CD44 and EpCAM markers.

Result:

Several cells in OSCC samples showed EpCAM and CD44 positivity following immunostaining. However, flow cytometry performed with CD44 alone was not specific for OSCC samples. Hence, proving that CD44 and EpCAM when used in conjunction can help to characterize CTCs.

Conclusion:

The findings of our study suggest that the demonstration of CTCs is feasible and helps in understanding of disease progression and metastatic risk. Sensitive detection of CTCs from blood samples can serve as an implicit tool in early cancer diagnosis and prognosis through liquid biopsy which in itself is minimally invasive and time-saving.
Relationship between dental fluorosis, dental caries and salivary levels of Streptococcus mutans
Authors: Ravuru Neeharika , Reginald B. Ajay , Reddy Basireddy Siva , Samatha Meda
Published: September 2024

Background and Objective:

Worldwide, dental caries is an endemic infection and a significant public health problem. Fluoride reduces caries by helping to prevent demineralisation, by remineralising early carious lesions, and by decreasing the activity and growth of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). Fluoride intake above the optimal levels leads to a condition known as dental fluorosis, which causes hypo-mineralisation of the tooth. Some studies have revealed that the severity of fluorosis is directly proportional to caries, but some showed opposite results. Hence, with these contradicting results, this study was undertaken to identify the relationship between different grades of dental fluorosis, dental caries and the most common cariogenic bacteria S. mutans in saliva.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 90 subjects within 14- to 16-year age range were selected and categorised depending on the severity of fluorosis into three groups: group I (mild), group II (moderate) and group III (severe) based on modified Dean’s fluorosis index criteria (1942). Unstimulated whole saliva samples were collected using the oral rinse technique and processed for quantification of S. mutans using Mitis Salivarius Bacitracin Agar medium. The number of colony-forming units (CFUs) was determined using a colony counter and expressed as ≥102, ≥103, ≥104 and ≥105 CFUs per ml of the sample, in accordance with the scale recommended by the manufacturer (HiMedia Laboratories). The severity of the caries was measured using decayed, missing or filled teeth (DMFT).

Results:

Observations revealed that the overall DMFT was directly proportional to the level of S. mutans titres. It was observed that 67 to 73% of participants showed fewer colony counts (102 and 103) with minimal DMFT scores and 27 to 33% showed higher counts (104 and 105) with higher DMFT scores in all the groups. 105 CFUs of group III showed the highest mean DMFT scores (2.9) with an increased number of involved subjects than group II (2.3) and group I (1.5). In all, male participants had higher bacterial titres and DMFT scores than females.

Conclusion:

Fluoride in the drinking water served as anticariogenic agent regardless of the severity of fluorosis. Severe fluorosis with a higher incidence of caries and increased CFUs of S. mutans clearly indicates the importance of preventive measures and early treatment to reduce the severity of fluorosis and prevalence of dental caries.
Serum Carboxy-terminal Cross-linking Telopeptide Fragments of Type-2 Collagen Level in the General Population: A Pilot Study
Authors: Khanna Rajat , Jindal Divyam , Singh Sudhir
Published: September 2024

Aim:

The aim of this study was to determine the serum carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide fragments of type-2 collagen (sCTX-II) level in normal healthy young and middle-aged individuals.

Materials and Methods:

Normal healthy adults were included as the participants in this study (175 participants). The age, gender, weight, and height of individuals were recorded. Venous samples (5 ml) were collected for the estimation of the sCTX-II level by ELISA kit.

Results:

The mean sCTX-II level was recorded as 400.42 ± 208.08 pg/ml. The mean sCTX-II level among males was recorded as 406.49 ± 220.79 pg/ml, and in females, it was 382.34 ± 157.88 pg/ml), and the difference is not statistically significant (P = 0.50). The sCTX-II value was recorded as 389.11 ± 199.79 pg/ml in the age group of 19–29 years, 430.45 ± 231.71 pg/ml in the age group of 30–39 years, and 424.12 ± 223.35 pg/ml in the age group of 40–49 years; however, this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.524). The CTX-II value in the underweight category was 365.55 ± 197.09 pg/ml; in the normal body mass index (BMI) category, it was 404.58 ± 225.29 pg/ml; in the overweight category, the BMI was 392.99 ± 193.79 pg/ml; and in obese BMI category, the value was 417.32 ± 186.79 pg/ml. Our results revealed that the sCTX-II level is independent of age (F = 0.64, P = 0.524), gender (t = 0.66, P = 0.50), and BMI (F = 0.15, P = 0.92).

Conclusion:

We concluded that the sCTX-II level does not get affected by age, gender, and BMI in the general population. The sCTX-II estimation can be used to differentiate the cases of knee osteoarthritis from the normal population as it is independent of age, gender, and BMI. The sCTX-II value in young and middle-aged healthy populations is reported. However, a multicentric study with stringent subject selection criteria is needed to corroborate the results of this pilot study.

Authors: Chaudhary Vandana , Verma N S , Kumar Bhupendra , Rahul Kumar , Kumar Satish
Published: September 2024

Background:

Cardiovascular dysfunction and cognitive decline are more common in traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Most of people with a cervical or upper-thoracic SCI usually experience orthostatic hypotension and autonomic dysreflexia, which are described by changes in systemic blood pressure (BP).

Objectives:

The objective of the study is to evaluate baseline heart rate (HR), baseline BP, and ambulatory arterial blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in traumatic paraplegia patients.

Materials and Methods:

We enrolled 36 patients of traumatic paraplegia patients, paralyzed by Road traffic accident or fall from height within 7 days of trauma. Inclusion criteria were based on Asia Impairment Scale. The BP was monitored for 24 h/2 days and repeated on 12th day of first monitoring. Ambulatory BP was monitored by ABPM machine at ½ hourly from 6 am to 10 pm and 1 hourly from 10 pm to 6 am. The continuous variables were statistically analyzed and compared by t-test.

Results:

The night dipping (Systole) and morning surge (Systole) were significantly lower on 12th day as compared to within 7 days (P = 0.002) whereas the diurnal index (diastole) and diurnal index (mean arterial pressure) were comparable in between within 7 days and 12th day. The mean systolic BP (SBP) maximum and SBP minimum were significantly lower at 12th day as compared to within 7 days, whereas diastolic BP maximum and minimum were comparable in between within 7 days and at 12th day. The changes in minimum, maximum and mean double product (all, active periods, and passive periods) were not found statistically significant in between within 7 days and at 12th day.

Conclusion:

Traumatic paraplegic patients have altered diurnal index, morning surge, night dipping, and SBP on APBM monitoring.

Published: September 2024

The number of families in which at least one parent has an intellectual disability remains unknown. Little is also known about the experiences of children growing up in such families. Single studies (e.g. retrospective studies of adult children) provide knowledge about such risk factors for child and family development as parentification or social stigma. The article presents the results of a systematic review of the literature (using the PsycArticles and PsycInfo databases) on the development of children in families with at least one parent with intellectual disability. The aim of the review was to explore the empirical research conducted so far in this area. The article ends with a list of recommendations for further empirical research.

Authors: Tomaszek Katarzyna , Muchacka-Cymerman Agnieszka , Aypay Ayşe
Published: September 2024

Background: Numerous prior studies have been tested the associations between stress, coping and burnout. In fact, all three abovementioned constructs are inevitably connected with each other according to many psychological theories. Most of them, however, focused on job-stress related context and were conducted among university students or adults. Much less frequently the specific coping techniques and its relation to burnout symptoms among high school students were analyzed.

Objective: The main purpose of the current study was to investigate the associations between coping strategies and burnout syndrome among late adolescents. Secondly we tested if student burnout is a function of gender and age. Additionally, we also tested the cross-cultural validity of student burnout scale (SSBS) by Aypay.

Methods: 761 students (35.8% boys), aged 17–19 years participated in the study.

Results: The results indicate that student burnout is associated positively with poor coping strategies and negatively with searching for support and active coping strategies. Regression models revealed that higher avoiding behaviors and helplessness, and lower active coping are significant predictors of school burnout, explaining 13% of its variance. The final model consisting of coping strategies and sociodemographic characteristics (age and gender) explained 20% of variance in the SSBS score. According to our studies girls are more prone to develop school burnout syndrome than boys, and older students are more burned out than younger ones. The findings also confirmed that the SSBS scale may be applied in the Polish context as it has good psychometric properties.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that the avoiding behaviors as well as lack of active coping may play a pivotal role in school burnout among youth.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to assess the severity of parental burnout among parents of children with disabilities and chronic illness. It was hypothesized that parents of children with disabilites/ilnesses would be characterized by higher levels of parental burnout and that their child’s disability and chronic illness would moderate the relationship of parental burnout with sociodemographic factors. The study was conducted with 254 parents (Mage = 35.37; SDage = 5.80) with children aged from 1 month to 35 years, 22% of whom had a child with a disability or chronic illness. The Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA) questionnaire was used to verify the research hypotheses. The correlation analyses conducted showed that parents of children with disabilities had higher levels of parental burnout, and as the degree of constraints related to the child’s difficulties increased, the level of parental burnout increased. The results of moderation analyses showed that the relationship between the number of children and parental burnout was statistically significant. Similar relationships were not found concerning the relationship of parental burnout and having a child under five or the gender of the parent. The study indicates that there are relationships between having a child with a disability or chronic illness, the degree of their impairment, and parental burnout.
Gender – pomiędzy sprawczością a determinizmem. Analiza w perspektywach teoretycznych Michela Foucaulta, Pierre’a Bourdieu, Ervinga Goffmana i Anthony’ego Giddensa
Authors: Żybura Weronika
Published: September 2024

The aim of the article is to present diverse approaches to gender derived from the sociological theories of Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Erving Goffman, and Anthony Giddens. This concepts describe the tension between power and freedom in different ways, thus providing theoretical tools for describing the relationship between individual gender identity and the determining or limiting social order. The theoretical perspectives on gender are discussed as an apparatus of power-knowledge, embodied practice, role in the theater of everyday life, and an identity project. A discussion is proposed between these theoretical positions and their organization on an axis, the extremes of which are described as individual agency vs the determinism of social structure.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of this research is to describe and explain the latest developments in NFT which are digital assets that can be owned digitally using blockchain technology where the blockchain system maintains ownership and certificates of NFT Tokens including spying on every transaction and ownership of NFTs. NFT allows a digital work/asset to be owned by all users as long as the asset does not change hands to other users, because NFT can be transferred by the original voters. NFTs can be in the form of works of art, such as game assets, photos, videos, music, and so on. NFT can be traded or auctioned in many existing NFT marketplaces, such as opensea, rarible, axie infinity. The selling price of the NFT depends on subjective factors such as the quality, creativity and reputation of the artist. The more unique, interesting, an NFT work and well-known creator, the higher the value of the NFT token price will be. The way NFT works is that its digital data storage system will allow users to transfer data confidentially to each other, through encryption schemes in cryptography, so that data cannot be confidential and owned by other users, because they do not own the data

An Educational Study on the Realization of AI Informatization in Lifelong Learning in Japan
Authors: O Min-Suk , Park Joohee
Published: September 2024

It is no exaggeration to say that the existing education system has focused on instrumental learning for securing and maintaining the labor force and to ensure that students are sensitive enough to adapt to market changes, but that it has also neglected to impart to students the ability to select and utilize information technology. This area of subjective decision making and choice will be made possible through study in the field of humanities and its research and practice methods. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of realizing the informatization of lifelong learning in Japan in the context of sharing knowledge and deriving the achievement of knowledge, which can be said to be the basis of philosophical knowledge in the AI era. Such a statement is based on the problem of consciousness, and is a strong reason why the humanities should take a leap again into the field of AI. The purpose of this study is to present the necessity of humanistic thinking. Specifically, this study examines the educational significance and implications of the lifelong learning promotion system combined with Shin Mi-rae technology by examining the concept of lifelong learning in Japan, the orientation of learning revealed in information policy, and the lifelong learning society to be built in this process.

Authors: Roh Eunhhee , Cho Moonki
Published: September 2024

This study deals with a case study of a required Liberal Arts class called “Computational Thinking and Algorithms” at S University using the Engaged Learning class model. The study targets 188 first-year students in the first semester of 2023. The class was designed as a two-credit course by applying the three-stage teaching principle of problem definition - idea generation - solution application - confirmation. The research method was a t-test using SPSS and quartile analysis. The research results showed significant differences by quartile in the level of class content, class satisfaction, and project progression applying the Engaged Learning class model. The quartiles composed of students from the Literary and Creative Arts, Film Arts, and Law departments all showed lower satisfaction than the students from the other majors, while the students from the Software and AI integration department were the most satisfied with the level of lecture content applying Engaged Learning. However, the students from the Electronics and IT integration department were the least satisfied with the level of lecture content applying Engaged Learning as well as the project progression. The level of student participation in the Engaged Learning-based class was 84.1% positive and 0.5% negative, indicating that the Engaged Learning-based class model was more satisfactory to the students than the lecture-based class model. The percentage of affirmative and negative responses to the Engaged Learning model was 73.8% and 7.50%, respectively, indicating that students were more likely to understand the course content than in a lecture-style class. We further found that applying the Engaged Learning lesson model to the management of the Computational Thinking and Algorithms subject was more effective than lecture-style teaching. It is expected that the Engaged Learning lesson model will be expanded to be used in other subject classes in the future.
A Study on the Development of Courses Related to Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics in College General Mathematics
Authors: Choi Jae Gil , Shim Sang Kil
Published: September 2024

In order to develop courses related to artificial intelligence and mathematics, this study provides plans for the composition and operation of courses related to artificial intelligence and mathematics in college general mathematics by analyzing the mathematics curriculum, artificial intelligence and mathematics-related research, and selecting learning elements and contents. The content needed to deal with the principles of artificial intelligence in mathematics is mainly related to calculus, probability and statistics, and linear algebra. Such mathematical learning content is one of the functions of artificial intelligence. Since it is necessary for analysis and expression, neural networks, clustering, unsupervised learning, and optimization, these contents must be included in artificial intelligence and mathematics-related courses in college general mathematics. In addition, in courses related to artificial intelligence and mathematics, it is difficult for students to learn various topics such as linear algebra and multi-variable calculus, which are essential as basic mathematics for understanding machine learning, all in one semester. Thus, in this study, I propose that we divide the course into two subjects,  and , so that college students can select and take the courses according to their abilities and needs. Lastly, while theory-oriented classes are essential for understanding the principles of artificial intelligence in artificial intelligence and mathematics-related courses, applied learning is also crucial. This includes learning the basics of Python, a widely used programming language, for data analysis, data organization, and preprocessing. Additionally, applying these skills in real-life projects involving data analysis, artificial intelligence, and deep learning is necessary for comprehensive education.

Background: In the recent context of public health issues, the question of interdisciplinarity in healthcare has emerged as a central area of attention. The VET&PHARM pilot project aimed to test the feasibility of an interdisciplinary health simulation learning activity.
Methods: This simulation activity explored different interactions at the counter of an experimental pharmacy setting, using role-playing scenarios between pharmacy and veterinary students. The study involved an interaction between a pharmacist and a patient, who was also an animal owner, and an interprofessional collaborative interaction through a pharmacist-veterinarian telephone contact. The debriefing focused on the healthcare professional’s actions and their potential effects on patient care or animal care.
Results: The analysis of post-intervention questionnaires highlighted the pedagogical value of the activity in terms of awareness of the importance of communication and collaboration skills and an increase in students’ self-confidence in performing a similar task. The learning reported by participants exceeded the One Health vision expectations.
Conclusion: The pilot interdisciplinary health simulation enhanced pharmacy and veterinary students’ satisfaction and perceived value for learning and future practice.

Background: Telepharmacy services received much attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. These services have proven to be a valuable tool in providing remote patient care and ensuring medication safety. However, there is limited research on assessing drug-related problems (DRPs) and the impact of telepharmacy on student learning and reflection.     
Objective: To characterise the types of DRPs identified and reflect on students’ telepharmacy modules during final-year clerkship experiences.    
Methods: In groups of three to five, final-year students conducted 30-minute telepharmacy sessions, documenting patient details and DRPs on data collection forms under supervision. The data were analysed descriptively, and students' reflections were collected via a Google Form survey.    
Results: A total of 187 students completed 48 medication use reviews via telepharmacy. Forty-eight patients were reviewed and 122 DRPs were identified. The average age was 56 years and they were taking an average of five medications. The most common types of DRPs reported during telepharmacy sessions were “non-compliance” (n=42) and “adverse drug reactions (ADR)” (n=30). The main challenges identified by the students throughout the telepharmacy session were unforeseen inquiries and patients with information recall issues.   
Conclusion: Under the guidance of their lecturers, pharmacy students identified a significant number of DRPs through telepharmacy medication use review activities.

Published: September 2024

Potholes are a major safety concern on roads as they often lead to accidents. Identifying them promptly is vital in preventing accidents. This research focuses on potholes that are very evident during the rainy season because These road defects pose great difficulties for drivers. This study presents the creation of an automatic pothole segmentation model for real time road damage assessment. Potholes have severe safety implications and infrastructure problems, which indicate a need for effective monitoring and maintenance strategies. A YOLOv8based segmentation model was trained using computer vision and machine learning techniques with a curated dataset of road images. Then, we fine-tuned this model through transfer learning while evaluating its performance using various metrics to detect and segment potholes accurately. After that, we integrated the model into a real time video processing pipeline which is combined with road monitoring systems so as to continuously assess the state of roads. Finally, we discuss deployment architecture, real time performance evaluation, use cases as well as future research directions towards automated pothole segmentation’s potential in enhancing road safety and infrastructure management.

A study into the potential and advantages of fog computing in facilitating effective data processing at the network edge is presented in this abstract. The use of fog computing architectures and technologies to improve the effectiveness, speed, and scalability of data processing operations at the network edge is known as "fog computing enabled data processing." By bringing computer resources closer to data sources, enabling real-time processing, lowering latency, and optimizing bandwidth utilization, fog computing expands the possibilities of cloud computing. This method works especially well in situations where quick data processing, quick response times, and effective resource use are essential. By placing computational resources closer to data sources, fog computing systems improve data processing processes by lowering latency and enhancing overall system performance. The architecture of fog computing and data processing methods are covered in the study. The results open the door to novel applications and enhanced system performance across a range of areas by furthering our understanding of fog computing architectures and their function in enabling effective and safe data processing at the network edge.

Nowadays, digital technology has advanced faster than any previous invention, leading to widespread use of machine learning algorithms for generating predictions or decisions without explicit programming. These algorithms rely on a sample set of data, known as training data, to function effectively. However, the absence of high-quality data poses a significant challenge in machine learning, as data quality is crucial for the algorithm's performance. In phishing detection, the ultimate accuracy depends on various key features, including the URL, domain identity, security, and encryption criteria. To extract and verify these criteria from phishing data sets, we utilize regression techniques and classification algorithms. Specifically, we employ decision tree and logistic regression methods as two machine learning techniques. Logistic regression, a standard approach for binary classification problems, originates from the statistical discipline and achieves a 95% accuracy rate on trained data sets. Decision trees, a form of supervised machine learning, continuously split data based on specific parameters and consist of decision nodes and leaves, representing choices and outcomes, respectively. Decision trees achieve an 85% accuracy rate on trained data.

Authors: Hernández Javier Reyes
Published: September 2024

Tradicionalmente, la práctica del desarrollo organizacional ha puesto el énfasis en el concepto de déficit, problema o conflicto, con la creencia de que una organización podía retornar a un estado saludable, si eliminaba ese déficit. Nuevos modelos de intervención sugieren poner el foco en realzar las mejores contribuciones que los individuos pueden hacer a la organización. El artículo que se presenta ofrece, por una parte, una reflexión crítica sobre los principios teóricos y metodológicos que sustentan la Indagación Apreciativa como modelo de intervención y cambio organizacional positivo, y por la otra, un estudio de caso concreto en una empresa. El trabajo se enmarca en un diseño mixto de investigación, de dos etapas por derivación. Pasado un año de implementado el programa de entrenamiento, se muestran indicadores de cambio positivos, objetivos y subjetivos, en cuanto a los patrones de la cultura organizacional estudiados, en la empresa donde se desarrolló la investigación.
