Authors:   AEM (Azerbaijan Science Center), Aliyev Ali
Published: January 2025

In today's fast-paced business environment, startups face unique challenges in efficiently managing projects while maintaining flexibility and innovation. Startups are increasingly using agile project management, which places an emphasis on adaptability, iterative development, and collaboration. However, because startup ventures are unpredictable, it is sometimes difficult to effectively manage resources, deadlines, and risks. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into Agile project management, these problems can be fixed. AI enables entrepreneurs to make data-driven decisions, proactively identify risks, optimize resource allocation, and predict project results.

By analyzing historical data, monitoring project progress in real-time, and providing forecast insights, artificial intelligence (AI) enhances the accuracy and efficacy of project management processes. This article explores how AI is transforming Agile project management, highlighting how it may improve sprint completion forecasts, expedite processes, and raise project success overall. In addition to improving decision-making, AI integration fosters increased collaboration, resource management, and risk reduction. Ultimately, AI helps businesses stay competitive by enabling faster, more accurate project execution in a constantly changing market.

Bildiyiniz kimi, dil fikirləri ifadə etmək vasitəsidir. Təfəkkürün inkişafı nitqin inkişafını tən­zimləyir. XX əsrin 50-ci illərində elektron kompüterlərin meydana gəlməsi elmi təfəkkürdə inqilab etdi. Keçən əsrin sonlarında hesablama dilçiliyi dilçilər tərəfindən tətbiqi dilçiliyin yeni bir sahəsi kimi qəbul edilmişdir. Tətbiqi dilçilik sahəsində müxtəlif məqsədlər üçün dilin modelləşdirilməsinə aid proqramlar, kompüter texnologiyaları və alətlərdən geniş istifadə olunur. Hesablama dilçiliyinin istifadəsini dilçiliyin digər sahələrindən fərqləndirən əsas xüsusiyyət linqvistik materialın kompü­terlərdə işlənməsidir.

Bu məqalə hesablama dilçiliyi sahəsində konseptual problemin həlli üçün müxtəlif üsulların öy­rənilməsinə həsr edilmişdir. Bununla belə, qeyd etmək lazımdır ki, hesablama dilçiliyinin obyekt­lərindən biri də kompüter modellərinin linqvistik aspektidir. Dil və təfəkkür vasitəsilə ünsiyyətin xarakterik xüsusiyyətləri bu məqalədə müzakirə olunur.

Müəllim və fasilitatorların innovativ təlim metodlarının tətbiqində rolu, müasir təhsilin keyfiyyətini artırmaq üçün əhəmiyyətlidir. Müəllimlər yenilikçi metodlar vasitəsilə tələbələrin marağını artırmağa çalışırlar. Onlar tədris materialını interaktiv, oyunlar, layihələr və müzakirələr kimi müxtəlif yollarla təqdim edərək öyrənmə mühitini canlandırırlar. Bu yanaşma tələbələrin fəal iştirakını təmin edir. Fasilitatorlar isə daha çox müstəqil öyrənməyə yönəlmiş metodlarla, tələ­bələ­rin öz düşüncə və bacarıqlarını inkişaf etdirmələrini dəstəkləyirlər. Onlar müzakirələri yönləndirir, qrup dinamikasını yaradır və tələbələrin qarşılıqlı əlaqələrini gücləndirirlər. Fasilitatorun rolu tələ­bələrin problem həll etmə və kritik düşünmə bacarıqlarını inkişaf etdirməkdir. Müəllim və fasilita­torlar arasında əməkdaşlıq vacibdir. Onlar birlikdə yeni təlim strategiyalarını inkişaf etdirərək, daha inklüziv və təsirli öyrənmə mühiti yarada bilirlər. Bu əməkdaşlıq təhsil sisteminin çevikliyini artırır və innovativ yanaşmaların tətbiqini asanlaşdırır.

Published: January 2025

Kemahiran integrasi visual-motor (VMI) berkait rapat dengan kemahiran menulis dan membaca seseorang kanak-kanak. Walau bagaimanapun, tidak diketahui sejauh mana kemahiran persepsi visual dan koordinasi motor mempengaruhi kemahiran VMI mereka. Objektif kajian keratan rentas ini adalah untuk mengukur dan menentukan hubungan di antara kemahiran VMI dengan skor persepsi visual dan skor koordinasi motor bagi satu sampel kanak-kanak prasekolah. Seramai 62 orang kanak-kanak berbangsa Melayu daripada Tadika KEMAS sekitar Kuala Lumpur (min umur 5.48±0.50 tahun) telah menyertai kajian ini. Skor VMI, persepsi visual dan koordinasi motor mereka diukur menggunakan ujian Beery-VMI edisi keenam dan dibandingkan dengan skor standard Amerika Syarikat (AS) (100±15) menggunakan ujian t satu sampel. Hubungan di antara ketiga-tiga skor ini ditentukan menggunakan ujian regresi berganda. Min skor VMI, persepsi visual, dan koordinasi motor adalah masing-masing 99.53±9.26, 101.74±13.40 dan 121.52±13.03. Skor VMI dan persepsi penglihatan sampel kajian tidak berbeza secara signifikan dengan skor standard AS (semua p>0.05). Skor koordinasi motor pula adalah lebih tinggi dan signifikan berbanding skor standard AS (t(61) = 12.90, p < 0.001). Model regresi linear berganda menjelaskan 18.8% varians dan dapat meramalkan skor VMI dengan signifikan [F(2,8)=6.70, p=0.002]. Skor koordinasi motor menyumbang secara signifikan kepada model ini (B=0.24, p=0.007) tetapi skor persepsi visual tidak menyumbang secara signifikan (B=0.15, p=0.087). Kesimpulannya, kanak-kanak prasekolah di Malaysia mempunyai kemahiran VMI dan kemahiran persepsi visual yang setara dengan skor standard AS. Skor koordinasi motor mereka pula adalah melebihi skor standard ini. Kemahiran VMI perlu diasah sebaiknya dari peringkat prasekolah memandangkan ia berkait dengan kemahiran menulis seterusnya mempengaruhi pencapaian akademik kanak-kanak.

Authors: Ikhlas Junior , Leonardo Kevin , Saputra M. Abdilah , Marbun Ricky Yohannes , Anaztasya Azra Putri
Published: January 2025

Enhancing the user experience on social networks and e-commerce sites is often supported by accurate recommendation systems. This recommendation task is challenging as it requires a high degree of accuracy. This paper discusses the implementation of fuzzy logic in a movie recommendation system. Two similarity measurement methods are used: the first by considering the choices of similar users, and the second by matching genres of movies that have been rated by the user. To calculate similarity, four different techniques are used, namely Euclidean Distance, Manhattan Distance, Pearson Coefficient, and Cosine Similarity. Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) are applied in decision-making. Experiments are conducted on the Movie Lens dataset, and a comparative performance analysis is reported. Experimental results show that ANFIS outperforms FIS in most cases when the Pearson correlation metric is used for similarity calculation.

Authors: Ibitoye Olakunle , Abou-Khamis Rana , ElShehaby Mohamed , Matrawy Ashraf , Shafiq M. Omair
Published: January 2025

Machine learning models have made many decision support systems to be faster, more accurate and more efficient. However, applications of machine learning in network security face more disproportionate threat of active adversarial attacks compared to other domains. This is because machine learning applications in network security such as malware detection, intrusion detection, and spam filtering are by themselves adversarial in nature. In what could be considered an arm's race between attackers and defenders, adversaries constantly probe machine learning systems with inputs which are explicitly designed to bypass the system and induce a wrong prediction. In this survey, we first provide a taxonomy of machine learning techniques, tasks, and depth. We then introduce a classification of machine learning in network security applications. Next, we examine various adversarial attacks against machine learning in network security and introduce two classification approaches for adversarial attacks in network security. First, we classify adversarial attacks in network security based on a taxonomy of network security applications. Secondly, we categorize adversarial attacks in network security into a problem space vs. feature space dimensional classification model. We then analyze the various defenses against adversarial attacks on machine learning-based network security applications. We conclude by introducing an adversarial risk grid map and evaluate several existing adversarial attacks against machine learning in network security using the risk grid map. We also identify where each attack classification resides within the adversarial risk grid map.

Restoring and Rehabilitating Watercourses in the Ria Formosa Nature Park (Algarve): Intervention Principles, Processes and Techniques
Authors: A. Santos , C. Antunes , D. Batista
Published: January 2025

The core objective of this article is to contribute towards defining a project methodology for rehabilitating fluvial ecosystems in strongly humanized Mediterranean landscapes. To achieve this objective, interrelated with the management and maintenance of these landscapes, we took into consideration the theory and the praxis that frame interventions in watercourses experiencing situations of risk. This article spans these two core, interwoven facets, approaching both the theoretical research and the applied research undertaken within the scope of proposals for rehabilitating five watercourses in Eastern Algarve. The project approach to the restoration of the ecological corridors associated with the downstream sections of the Cacela, Canada, Tronco, Bela-Mandil streams, and the Seco River thus accounted for the shortage and irregularity in the distribution of precipitation and the torrential regime characterizing the region in conjunction with the high level of artificialism displayed by these fluvial systems. Under the auspices of the project process, the aforementioned watercourses were perceived as dynamic, complex, open, and multi-functional socio-ecological systems with a role and importance in ensuring the biological balance and physical stability of the coastal plain and the Ria Formosa lagoon system. The project concept was rooted in a strategy based on intervention flexibility, taking into account a balance between the rehabilitation of natural values and resources and the presence of human activities. Hence, in the rehabilitation proposals developed, the materials applied were entirely natural (plants, wood, and stone), with recourse to technical-scientific concepts and procedures drawn from the fields of Landscape Architecture and Biophysical Engineering.
Offline solutions for agricultural extension: Integrating digital libraries into train-the-trainer programs
Authors: Hosman Laura , Nova Rachel
Published: January 2025

Training agricultural extension workers to educate rural farmers on conservation agriculture (CA) techniques is a significant challenge, especially in areas with limited access to the internet. This article evaluates the effectiveness of a train-the-trainer (TTT) approach that integrates an offline digital library and competency-based training to address both the information and skills needs of extension agents in Rwanda. Using Harper et al.'s (2024) TTT framework, the study assesses a TTT workshop conducted with agriculture extension interns, focusing on their ability to train farmers in CA practices. The training combined access to SolarSPELL, a portable offline library, with interactive learning experiences to enhance both technical and interpersonal skills. Post-training survey results indicate that participants found the digital library highly beneficial in overcoming information access challenges, while the competency training equipped them with essential skills for their roles. The findings suggest that integrating digital tools into TTT programs, particularly in rural offline settings, can enhance knowledge dissemination and improve the efficacy of agriculture training programs. The article explores the implications for broader adoption of this approach in other regions and agricultural sectors.
