Published: February 2025

Objective: To evaluate the use of infrared thermography technology for objective and quantitative syndrome differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), specifically in patients with Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction syndrome. Methods: Data were collected from over 100 patients diagnosed with Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction syndrome at Professor Li Leyu’s endocrinology clinic, Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guangdong Province, between April 2021 and April 2022. Body surface temperature data were obtained using the MTI-EXPRO-2013-B infrared thermography system. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to differentiate temperature distribution characteristics between genders, and a neural network prediction model was constructed for syndrome diagnosis. Results: Infrared thermography effectively captured surface temperature characteristics of patients with Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction syndrome. PCA identified one principal component with a variance explanation rate of 73.953% for females and two principal components with a cumulative variance explanation rate of 77.627% for males. The neural network model demonstrated high predictive performance, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.9743 for the training set and 0.9889 for the validation set. Sensitivity was 1, specificity 0.8636, precision 0.8846, accuracy 0.9333, and the F1 score 0.9388. Conclusion: Infrared thermography provides an innovative, objective, and quantitative method for syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM. It represents a significant advancement in transitioning from traditional empirical approaches to modern, visualized, and precise diagnosis and treatment. This study underscores the potential of integrating advanced technologies in TCM for enhanced clinical application and modernization.

Authors: Noya Sunday , Thoyib Armanu , Wijayanti Risna , Hussein Ananda Sabil
Published: February 2025

This study examines the impact of SMEs' multidimensional strategic collaboration with government agencies, higher education institutions, large enterprises, and SME communities on performance, with inter-organizational knowledge exchange and innovation as mediating factors. Utilizing data from 411 managers of food and beverage SMEs in the Greater Malang Area, Indonesia, the research employs structural equation modelling through WarpPLS to assess the relationships among four key constructs: SME multidimensional strategic collaboration, inter-SME knowledge exchange, inter-SME innovation, and SME performance. The findings reveal that collaboration with government entities has the most significant direct and mediated effects on performance, while partnerships with universities and large enterprises produce more conditional results, depending on the SMEs' capacity to absorb and apply external knowledge and innovations. Additionally, collaboration with SME communities has a meaningful impact on knowledge exchange, which partially mediates performance outcomes, highlighting the value of peer-to-peer learning and shared experiences within SME networks.
A New Computational Method Based on the Method of Lines and Adomian Decomposition Method for Burgers' Equation and Coupled System of Burgers' Equations
Authors: Bakodah H. O. , Al-Harbi R. M. , Alshareef A. , Alshaery A. A.
Published: February 2025

This study proposes a new computational scheme for the solution of the class of one-dimensional Burgers’ equations, comprising mainly the classical Burgers’ equation, and the system of coupled Burgers’ equations. This method is based upon coupling the Method of Lines (MOL) and the prominent Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) for the reliable computational examination of dissimilar initial-boundary value problems of Burgers’ equations. Certainly, MOL helps with the spatial semi-discretization of the governing problem to a system of nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs); while the ADM contributes to the efficient semi-analytical solution of the resulting nonlinear ODEs. Moreover, the computational accuracy of the new approach has been demonstrated on certain test models and further evaluated using L2 and L∞ norms. Indeed, the method produces better results with minimal errors than many existing computational approaches as successfully reported in various supportive figures and tables.
THE ORGANIZATION SPECIFICS OF NARRATION ORGANIZATION IN V.V. EROFEEV’S POEM “MOSCOW - PETUSHKI”
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Shchukina Zhanna V.
Published: February 2025

This article analyzes the specifics of narrative organization in
V. Erofeev’s poem “Moscow–Petushki”. Thus, in particular, it is proved that
the peculiarities of narration in that very fiction text are conditioned by the
abnormal state of consciousness of the narrator. Since we have proved that
the abnormal can be realized in artistic works in two forms: as an abnormal
narrative that presupposes an abnormal depicting consciousness and as a
narrative of an abnormal state of consciousness that presupposes a conventionally “normal” narrator whose narrative object is an abnormal consciousness, therefore it is obvious that in the analyzed text we are dealing with an
abnormal narrative.
Based on the analysis of the poem’s text, it is proved that the narrative
organization specifics in the work is embodied through three ways: communication between the narrator and a certain presumed addressee, communication
realized within the diegetic world and reflected in the conversations of the
central character as a fictitious narrator with other characters as fictitious narrators, communication taking place in the form of internal dialogues between
the narrator and his abnormal consciousness; in such a type of communication
it can also be considered as “narration”.
ABOUT SOME FEATURES OF THE POETIC LANGUAGE OF SERGEI STRATANOVSKY
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Pronin Maksim V.
Published: February 2025

The article considers some features of the use of poetic language
by Sergei Stratanovsky, the St. Petersburg underground writer. The author’s
texts, even despite his adherence to all the canons of traditional syllabic-tonic versification, represent a synthesis of archaic layers of vocabulary, stable ideological clichés of the Soviet period, common speech, strong language and original neologisms. Studying the originality of the poetic idiolect (language means
regularly repeated in texts, new verbal constructions, whole words or forms of
words, syntactic constructions) “uncensored” by the author helps the reader to
better understand how his artistic world was created.

GURU NANAK DEV: THE TORCHBEARER OF RELIGIOUS AWAKENING
Authors: Narinderkaur
Published: February 2025

In the beginning of the 16th century, when Guru Nanak lived and preached his message of love and equality, Punjab was part and parcel of the Delhi sultanate which was ruled by Sultan SikandarLodhi. Politically, it was an oppressive and unjust regime, marked by exploitation and injustice. Socially, it was a divided house wherein a large part of humanity was denied even the fundamental rights. Non-Muslims were made to live like second class citizens. The ruling class had lost all sense of justice and the order of the day. The moral and spiritual degeneration was also keeping pace only too well with the political disruption from which the country had been suffering.

Authors: Irnawati Diah Harun , Kusmiyati Kusmiyati , Raksun Ahmad
Published: February 2025

Plant growth and development require nutrients, which can be given through fertilization in the form of organic or inorganic fertilizers. This study aims to determine the effect of providing shallot extract, NPK fertilizer, and a combination of both on the growth of mustard greens. This study used a two-factorial, Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of NPK fertilizer and shallot extract treatments, each using five levels with three replications. The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, plant fresh weight, and plant dry weight. The data obtained were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and continued with the Duncan multiple range test. The results of the ANOVA test showed that the main factor of NPK fertilizer obtained a value of (sig) ˂ 0.05, the main factor of organic fertilizer was red onion extract, and the interaction factor obtained a value of (sig) ˃ 0.05. The study results showed that the administration of NPK fertilizer can increase plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, wet weight, and dry weight of green mustard plants. The administration of shallot extract can increase plant height and the number of green mustard leaves. Still, it cannot increase green mustard plants' leaf area and wet and dry weight. The administration of a combination of NPK fertilizer and shallot extract cannot increase plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, wet weight, and dry weight of green mustard.

The Limitation of Determination Structure of the Agreed Rate of Return for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Road Projects and Improvement in South Korea
Authors: Hyejin Lee
Published: February 2025

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) road projects are being promoted worldwide to encourage road investments; however, research on the appropriate rate of return for these projects is insufficient. This is likely because the return on investment for PPP road projects is determined through negotiations between the government and the private sector, a process that remains confidential. The rate of return for PPP road projects is not only a key indicator for evaluating project performance but also a potential driver for future government financial subsidies. Therefore, research on the appropriate rate of return for PPP road projects is necessary for the sustainability of these projects.

This study, based on the concept that both the government and the private sector share the anticipated risks of the project, quantifies six types of risks and proposes a model for predicting the appropriate rate of return. The model is able to explain approximately 68% of the cases in South Korea’s PPP road projects. The risk with the greatest influence on the rate of return was found to be an economic risk, while the least influential was regulation change risk.

Due to the confidentiality of data related to PPP road projects, this study only utilized 54 cases from South Korea. It is hoped that a wider range of data will be collected and further research on the appropriate rate of return will continue to enhance the sustainability of PPP road projects.
Decoding open government policy: Recurrent or innovative liberalism?
Authors: Lee-Geiller Seulki , Ali Mohsan
Published: February 2025

This article examines the implications of open government policies that emerged at a critical juncture for democracies worldwide. Since the launch of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) in 2011, the movement has aimed to revitalise democratic governance. However, its theoretical context within the evolution of liberal democracy remains unexplored. Bias in case selection and a lack of empirical evidence have constrained our understanding. This study analyses open government policy documents from 75 OGP national member countries using Natural Language Processing techniques. The findings reveal a collective commitment to more inclusive and participatory governance models, departing from neoliberal priorities through public innovations. This research enriches the dialogue around democratic governance by explaining how the Open Government Movement intersects with the ideals of liberal democracy. It provides valuable theoretical and practical perspectives, enhancing our understanding and application of open government principles.

Authors:   Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University, Vasylykiv Ivan
Published: February 2025

The work investigates the problem of the use of electronic teaching aids, which significantly reduces and facilitates the time that teachers spend on training in martial law conditions. This is what gives future teachers the opportunity to "develop" mathematics lessons, to determine their practical content, forms and methods of teaching.

Water scarcity poses a significant challenge globally, with South Africa exemplifying the severe socio-economic and environmental impacts of limited water access. Despite advances in modern water management systems, the integration of indigenous knowledge (IK) into formal frameworks remains underutilized. This study systematically reviews the role of indigenous water conservation practices in South Africa, analyzing over 50 high-quality sources using the PRISMA methodology. The findings highlight the effectiveness of IK in addressing water scarcity through techniques such as rainwater harvesting, terracing, and wetland management, which are low-cost, environmentally sustainable, and deeply rooted in cultural practices. Indigenous methods also enhance climate resilience by enabling communities to adapt to droughts and floods through practices such as weather prediction and adaptive farming techniques. Furthermore, these practices foster social inclusivity and community empowerment, ensuring equitable water access and intergenerational knowledge transfer. The study underscores the potential of integrating IK with modern water technologies to create holistic solutions that are scalable, sustainable, and aligned with South Africa’s goal of achieving water security by 2030. Policy recommendations emphasize the need for institutional support, data collection, and financial incentives to sustain and mainstream indigenous approaches. By bridging the gap between traditional and contemporary systems, this research provides a roadmap for leveraging diverse knowledge systems to address water scarcity and build resilient communities.
The role of machine learning in enhancing credit scoring models for financial inclusion
Authors: GBEMINIYI DEBORAH ONIPEDE
Published: February 2025

The field of credit scoring sees a transformation through machine learning, which yields better prediction results when credit is opened to new populations. Traditional credit scoring systems, which base their predictions on limited financial records, fail to serve millions of unbanked and underbanked people with access to credit. Overlooked data from transaction histories combined with mobile payment records and online behavioral analysis enables ML-based credit assessments to boost lender decision-making precision through improved risk assessment. The research investigates how ML affects credit scoring operations by studying different prediction models that best determine creditworthiness. An evaluation of typical lending practices and ML-based methods demonstrates how automated fair and rapid loan processing emerges as their key benefits. This study utilizes data analytics examinations combined with banking and fintech industry case investigations as research methods. The findings demonstrate better access to credit and reduced bias and risk of default possible through ML implementation. Regular financial institutions and policymakers can use this research to understand how they should utilize Machine Learning techniques to improve lending accessibility while preserving integrity.
Efficient detection of cacao pod diseases using SSD MobileNetV2 FPN-Lite
Authors: Glenn Matthew Garma
Published: February 2025

Detecting and managing cacao pod diseases is an important task for improving crop yield and quality, especially in regions where agriculture serves as a primary livelihood. In this paper we introduce an object detection model based on the SSD MobileNetV2 FPN-Lite architecture for efficient and accurate detection of cacao pod diseases, focusing on “monilla” and “phytophtora”. The model used a feature pyramid network (FPN) to enhance multi-scale detection capabilities to enable the identification of small objects such as early-stage disease symptoms. Evaluation metrics, including mAP, box loss, and classification loss, were used to assess the model's performance. The proposed framework achieved an mAP of 0.83, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting various cacao pod diseases. With its low computational overhead, the model is optimized for deployment on edge devices, making it a viable solution for real-time disease monitoring in agricultural settings.

Introduction: The aim of this work was to determine the epidemiological and clinical aspects of children with sickle cell disease hospitalized in the pediatric department of the University Hospital of Libreville (CHUL).

Method: This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of the files of children with sickle cell SS hospitalized in the pediatric department of CHUL, a reference hospital in Libreville and Gabon, from October 2022 to September 2023.

Results: the frequency of sickle cell patients hospitalized was 9.9% [8.8% - 11.1%]. Of the 201 files selected, 125 (62.2%) were boys, i.e. a sex ratio of 1.64. The average age of the children included was 72.3 ± 52.7 months, the minimum was 6 months and the maximum 208 months. The mothers of the hospitalized children were without gainful activity in 62.4%. The mean hemoglobin level on admission was 5.7 ± 2 g/dl. Vaso -occlusive crisis was found in 51.7%, malaria in 18.9% of cases. The mean length of hospitalization was 6.1 ± 3.9 days, bronchopneumopathies were the pathologies with the longest hospitalization durations (p<0.01). The evolution was marked by death in 1.5% of cases, these deaths were associated with a median hemoglobin level on admission of 1.9g/dl.

Conclusion: sickle cell disease is a common cause of hospitalization in our context. The mortality rate of sickle cell patients requires an exploration of the epidemiological factors impacting the criteria on admission.
