This research uses Technology Acceptance Model to explore the elements influencing students' attitudes toward using Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), a recently developed artificial intelligence (AI) tool, for learning and educational purposes. Using Amos version 23 structural equation modelling and 880 student survey responses, the suggested model was empirically tested. According to the report, students think well of ChatGPT utilization in the classroom. Credibility, Usefulness and ease of use, all influence how positively people feel about using this technology in a classroom setting. The study's findings, however, did not support the notion that students' adoption and use of ChatGPT was insignificantly influenced by perceived enjoyment. Moreover, the results conclude that attitude mediates the relationship between usefulness and intention to use ChatGPT. The research will help businesses, educational institutions, and the global community by providing insight into how students view the ChatGPT service within a learning environment. Additionally, the application boosts learners' confidence and interest, which improves general awareness and literacy. Finally, the research will facilitate developers of AI in the betterment of their product and service delivery and regulators in regulating the use of AI-based bots. Owing to its recentness, there is not much study currently available on ChatGPT use in education. This research adds significantly to the extant knowledge on the adoption of advanced education technologies by examining the adoption characteristics of ChatGPT, a novel AI-based tool involving students. Additionally, there is a dearth of research in the literature on students' adoption of ChatGPT for educational purposes. Such a gap was filled as this study identified the factors affecting students' adoption of ChatGPT in the classroom.

Published: January 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant transformations in various aspects of life. Shifts in consumer behavior, for instance, can exert influence on global economic operations. This situation indirectly boosts the e-commerce sector while expediting the decline of conventional retail. Matahari Department Store is an example of a retail business adapting to this trend. Matahari, a retail company, recently shifted its focus towards online marketing. On one of its social media platforms, Matahari consistently presents engaging content. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily imply that Matahari enjoys a high level of social media engagement. This study aims to evaluate how brand equity influences engagement behavior, with engagement goals acting as a mediator, while considering social media context as a moderating factor. The research employed a quantitative approach with a causal orientation. The target population for this study comprises the followers of the Matahi Department Store Instagram account. The sampling method employed was purposive, indicating that the sample was selected based on specific criteria. Data collection was conducted through the online distribution of questionnaires using Google Forms. The collected data was analyzed through the utilization of SMART PLS 3.0 software employing the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. As per the research results, brand equity is influenced through engagement intention and exhibits a positive and statistically significant impact on both consumption and donation behavior. Additionally, the connection between intention to be involved and behavior in consumption is affected by media richness.

Authors: Salsabila Ajeng Berliana , Ruchjana Budi Nurani , Abdullah Atje Setiawan
Published: January 2024

The space-time model combines spatial and temporal elements. One example is the Generalized Space-Time Autoregressive (GSTAR) Model, which improves the Space-Time Autoregressive (STAR) model. The GSTAR model assumes that each location has heterogeneity characteristics, and that the data is stationary. In this research, the moving average component is calculated by involving the relationship between variable values at a certain time and residual values at a previous time, and it is assumed that the data is not stationary, so the model used is the Generalized Space-Time Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (GSTARIMA) Model. The model order for GSTARIMA is determined through the Space-Time Autocorrelation Function (STACF) and Space-Time Partial Autocorrelation Function (STPACF) to ensure accurate forecasting. Previous research only discussed the GSTARIMA(1,1,1) model, so in this research, the GSTARIMA(3,1,1) model will be addressed as a form of development of the GSTARIMA(1,1,1) model and applied to climate data. The climate data used in this research is sourced from NASA POWER and consists of rainfall variables with large data sizes, requiring the use of the data analytics lifecycle method to analyse Big Data. The lifecycle includes six phases: discovery, data preparation, model planning, model building, communicating results, and operationalization. Based on the data processing results with Python software, the GSTARIMA(3,1,1) model has a MAPE value of 9% for out-sample data and 11% for in-sample data. In contrast, the GSTARIMA(1,1,1) model has a MAPE value of 11% for out-sample data and 12% for in-sample data. So the GSTARIMA(3,1,1) model provides more accurate forecasting results. Therefore, selecting the correct model order is crucial for accurate forecasting.

АНАЛИЗ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ РАСПРЕДЕЛЕНИЯ КВАНТОВЫХ КЛЮЧЕЙ В ПАССИВНЫХ ОПТИЧЕСКИХ СЕТЯХ
Authors: Насылбекова А.Е.
Published: January 2024

Потребность в обеспечении безопасности для конечных пользователей привела к установке квантового распределения ключей (Quantum Key Distribution ― QKD) в сетях доступа «один ко многим», таких как пассивные оптические сети. В сетях наличие оптических разветвителей мощности делает вопросы безопасной скорости передачи ключей более важными. Однако исследования QKD в сетях доступа в основном были сосредоточены на вопросах реализации, а не на разработке протокола для повышения ключевой скорости. Поскольку безопасная ключевая скорость теоретически ограничена протоколом, исследования без разработки протокола не могут преодолеть предел безопасной ключевой скорости, заданный протоколом. Это вызывает необходимость исследований для разработки протокола. В этой статье предлагается новый подход, который обеспечивает безопасное повышение скорости передачи ключей по сравнению с обычным протоколом. В частности, предлагается формула безопасной ключевой скорости в пассивной оптической сети, расширяя формулу безопасной ключевой скорости на основе протокола BB84 с состоянием приманки. Для пассивной оптической сети предлагается способ, который включает сотрудничество между конечными пользователями. Затем мы показываем, что этот способ может смягчить атаку разделения числа фотонов (Photon Number Splitting - PNS), которая имеет решающее значение в известном протоколе- ловушке BB84. В частности, предлагаемая схема позволяет многофотонным состояниям служить безопасными ключами, в отличие от обычного протокола- ловушки BB84. Численное моделирование показывает, что предложенная нами схема превосходит протокол-приманку BB84 по скорости безопасного ключа.

Evaluating Funding for Authors Achieving High Citations vs. Online Popularity
Authors: Farivar Daniel , Vadhera Amar S. , Illingworth Kenneth D. , Skaggs David L.
Published: January 2024

Introduction:

The Altmetric score is a validated tool that measures online attention of scientific studies. A relationship between government/industry funding for authors and their study's citations have been previously demonstrated. It is not known whether funding is related to greater online attention. We hypothesize authors publishing studies achieving greater online attention (higher Altmetric scores) receive greater monetary support from industry while authors publishing studies achieving critical acclaim (more citations) receive greater monetary support from the National Institute of Health (NIH).

Methods:

Top spine surgery studies between 2010 and 2021 were selected based on Altmetric scores and citation number. The Open Payments Database was accessed to evaluate industry financial relationships while the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool was accessed to evaluate NIH funding. Payments were compared between groups and analyzed with the Student t-test, analysis of variance, and chi square analysis. Alpha <0.05.

Results:

There were 60 and 51 authors with payment data in the top 50 Altmetric and top 50 citation studies, respectively, with eight authors having studies in both groups. Total industry payments between groups were not markedly different. The eight authors with studies in both groups received markedly more industry payments for consulting, travel/lodging, and faculty/speaking fees. Authors with articles in both groups (50%) were significantly more likely to receive NIH support, compared with authors of the top Altmetric articles (5%; P < 0.001) and top citation articles (12%; P < 0.001). Authors receiving NIH support received significantly less industry payments compared with authors not receiving NIH support ($148,544 versus $2,159,526; P < 0.001).

Discussion:

These findings reject our hypothesis: no notable differences for industry payments and NIH funding between authors for top Altmetric and citation studies. Authors receiving funding from industry versus the NIH are generally two distinct groups, but there is a small group supported by both. These studies achieve both critical acclaim (citations) and online popularity (Altmetric scores).

Validity Evidence for Procedure-specific Competence Assessment Tools in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Scoping Review
Authors: Li Yibo , Chan Robert , Menon Matthew R.G. , Ryan Joanna F. , Mador Brett , Campbell Sandra M. , Turner Simon R.
Published: January 2024

Introduction:

Competency-based training requires frequent assessment of residents' skills to determine clinical competence. This study reviews existing literature on procedure-specific competence assessment tools in orthopaedic surgery.

Methods:

A systematic search of eight databases up to May 2023 was conducted. Two reviewers independently assessed validity evidence and educational utility of each assessment tool and evaluated studies' methodological quality.

Results:

Database searching identified 2,556 unique studies for title and abstract screening. Full texts of 290 studies were reviewed; 17 studies met the inclusion criteria. Bibliography review identified another five studies, totaling 22 studies examining 24 assessment tools included in the analysis. These tools assessed various orthopaedic surgery procedures within trauma, sports medicine, spine, and upper extremity. Overall validity evidence was low across all studies, and was lowest for consequences and highest for content. Methodological quality of studies was moderate. Educational utility assessment was not explicitly done for most tools.

Discussion:

The paucity of current procedure-specific assessment tools in orthopaedic surgery lacks the validity evidence required to be used reliably in high-stake summative assessments. Study strengths include robust methodology and use of an evidence-based validity evidence framework. Poor-quality existing evidence is a limitation and highlights the need for evidence-based tools across more subspecialties.

Published: January 2024

Excitotoxicity, caused by the excessive release of glutamate, leads to the activation of the apoptotic process, making it a crucial factor in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of nicorandil to prevent glutamate excitotoxicity and reduce oxidative stress in the brain by analyzing the effects of nicorandil on primary cortex neurons. The study used primary neuron cultures from newborn Sprague-Dawley rats to examine the impact of nicorandil on cell viability, Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, Glutathione activity, Malondialdehyde levels, total antioxidant capacity, and total antioxidant status of neurons subjected to glutamate-induced excitotoxicity. Nicorandil at varying concentrations was introduced in the culture to assess its protective effects on the neurons. The results showed that nicorandil significantly improved cell viability and total antioxidant capacity levels and reduced total antioxidant status values in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings indicate that nicorandil effectively prevented glutamate excitotoxicity by reducing oxidative stress. The study suggests that nicorandil holds the potential for treating neurodegenerative diseases caused by glutamate excitotoxicity. This study is the first to report the potential of nicorandil to inhibit oxidative stress and prevent glutamate excitotoxicity in primary neurons, providing a basis for further exploration of the clinical application of nicorandil in neurodegenerative diseases.
Can insulin resistance be predicted with vitamin B12, ferritin, vitamin D and demographic information using machine learning algorithms?
Authors: Yigit Meltem , Secgin Yusuf , Oner Zulal , Olukman Ozgur
Published: January 2024

In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and vitamin D, vitamin B12 and ferritin levels. Between January 2022 and October 2023, 322 patients (133 females, 189 males) between the ages of 3-16 years who were admitted to the Pediatrics outpatient clinics of Izmir Bakirçay University Çiğli Training and Research Hospital were included. Pediatric patients with no known chronic disease and measured vitamin B12, vitamin D, ferritin and HOMA-IR levels were retrospectively included in the study. Individuals with HOMA-IR<2.5 were considered as (normal) controls and those with HOMA-IR≥2.5 were considered as insulin resistant children. HOMA-IR groups were predicted with an accuracy rate of 0.80 with the Random Forest (RF) algorithm, one of the machine learning algorithms. In addition, the highest contribution of RF to the determination of HOMA-IR with the SHAP analyzer was found to be provided by age, followed by vitamin B12. The results of the study revealed that vitamin B12, vitamin D, ferritin level and age are important factors on insulin resistance. Early vitamin D, vitamin B12 and ferritin replacement is important for the control of metabolic diseases in the future.

Published: January 2024

Bu çalışma ülkeler arası kurumsal farklılıkların ücret ve gelir eşitsizliğine etkilerini sosyal refah rejimleri üzerinden incelemektedir. Literatürde, işgücü piyasası kurumlarının eşitsizliğe etkilerini araştıran birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Ancak farklı sosyal refah rejimlerinde eşitsizlikte bir farklılık olup olmadığını araştıran oldukça az çalışma mevcuttur. Aslında sosyal refah rejimleri sınıflandırmaları da kurumlara dayalı olarak yapıldığından önsel olarak farklı refah rejimlerinin farklı eşitsizlik düzeyleri yaratacağı düşünülebilir. Çalışmada Esping-Andersen ve Leibfried’in refah rejimleri sınıflandırmaları kullanılarak 1970-2015 ve 1990-2015 dönemleri olmak üzere iki farklı dönemde refah rejimlerinin eşitsizliğe etkisi panel veri analizi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre sosyal demokrat refah rejimlerinde hem ücret hem de gelir eşitsizliği diğer refah rejimlerine göre anlamlı şekilde daha düşükken liberal ve Güney Avrupa refah rejimlerinde eşitsizlik diğerlerine göre daha yüksektir. Sonuç olarak ülkelerin sosyal refah rejimleri eşitsizlik üzerinde belirleyicidir ve evrenselci rejimlerde eşitsizlik düzeyi düşükken, kalıntı rejimlerinde yüksektir.

Published: January 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various industries including marketing. The use of AI in marketing has made it more efficient and effective than ever before. However, there is a growing concern that AI may soon replace marketers altogether. This research aims to investigate the impact of AI on the marketing profession. Using a qualitative research approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with marketing professionals and experts in the field of AI. The findings reveal that AI has already had a significant impact on marketing, particularly in the areas of data analysis and personalization. AI-powered tools and algorithms can analyse large amounts of data and provide insights that marketers would not have been able to uncover otherwise. Additionally, AI can create personalized content for individuals based on their preferences and behaviours. However, the research also found that AI is not yet advanced enough to fully replace marketers. While AI can assist with certain tasks, such as data analysis and content creation, it cannot replace the creativity and human touch that marketers bring to the table. Furthermore, there are ethical concerns around the use of AI in marketing, particularly with regards to privacy and bias. Keyword- Artificial Intelligence; Marketing

Este estudo objetivou mapear os Programas de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde da Família (PRMSF) implantados no Brasil quanto à gestão, organização e financiamento. Trata-se de estudo exploratório com abordagem quantitativa, realizado nas cinco regiões brasileiras, com coordenadores dos PRMSF que responderam questionário on-line autoaplicável, de outubro de 2022 a março de 2023. Dos 46 PRMSF cadastrados e ativos na Comissão Nacional de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde (CNRMS) participaram 24 (52,2%) coordenadores. Os PRMSF são coordenados, na sua maioria por mulheres, graduadas em enfermagem. O maior número de participantes foi da região Sul 12 (50%). Dos coordenadores, 16 (66,7%) cursaram doutorado, oito (33,3%) mestrado; 20 (83,3%) acumulavam outras funções além da coordenação; 10 (41,7%) trabalhavam na área da saúde há 15 anos ou mais; se dedicavam entre oito e 40 horas à coordenação. Das bolsas aos residentes, 14 (58,4%) são pagas pelo Ministério da Saúde; 13 (54,2%) PRMSF pertencem a Instituição de Ensino Superior Pública. A Atenção Básica (AB) é o cenário de prática de todos os programas e a enfermagem é a categoria profissional presente em todos eles. Os PRMSF são uma política pública de formação na saúde e podem contribuir para o cuidado integral e qualificação da AB, pela articulação de saberes profissionais, com vistas ao desenvolvimento de intervenções multiprofissionais e interdisciplinares.

Authors: Souza Kedson Abreu , Escobar Ana Lúcia
Published: January 2024

Introdução: Pequenos procedimentos cirúrgicos são aqueles feitos sem a necessidade de internação hospitalar, com anestesia local e com baixo custo financeiro. Tais procedimentos representam uma modalidade de atendimento que deve ser oferecida no âmbito da Atenção Primária à Saúde, mas raramente são assim realizados, em contexto nacional. Objetivo: Construir um programa de capacitação de médicos e enfermeiros para a realização de pequenos procedimentos no município de Vilhena (RO), reduzir a demanda reprimida, caracterizar a situação-problema do sistema local de saúde e internalizar as funções dos membros das equipes de saúde no que tange aos pequenos procedimentos cirúrgicos, após capacitação, promovendo a interdisciplinaridade entre os diferentes profissionais. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo de intervenção, do qual participaram seis profissionais da Atenção Primária à Saúde do município de Vilhena (RO), envolvendo uma capacitação, dividida em dois momentos: oficinas e prática supervisionada. Um questionário de habilidades e competências, abordando particularidades sobre a realização de pequenos procedimentos cirúrgicos, foi respondido pelos participantes antes e depois da capacitação, com as mesmas perguntas. As respostas obtidas nos dois momentos foram submetidas a uma criteriosa análise estatística. Resultados: Foram realizados procedimentos cirúrgicos ambulatoriais em 166 dos 476 pacientes que aguardavam junto à Central de Regulação municipal, representando uma redução de 34,5% da demanda reprimida. As respostas ao questionário, antes e após a intervenção, revelaram que houve aumento médio maior que dois pontos na escala de Likert, com significância estatística. Conclusão: Este estudo de intervenção desenvolvido no município de Vilhena (RO) foi capaz de capacitar profissionais da Atenção Primária à Saúde para a realização de pequenos procedimentos cirúrgicos e impactou na redução da fila de espera para procedimentos cirúrgicos do SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) local.

The thermoanalytical characterization of aceclofenac compounds and their derivatives is essential for understanding their physical and chemical properties. Thermoanalytical techniques offer critical insights into these compounds' thermal behavior, stability, and decomposition patterns, providing vital information for their formulation, processing, and storage. Aceclofenac, a diclofenac derivative, is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for treating inflammatory diseases. This physicochemical characterization is pivotal for assessing their stability, solubility, and bioavailability, involving various analytical techniques like melting point determination, decomposition temperature assessment, and heat capacity analysis. Thermoanalytical methods like thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are frequently employed in pharmaceutical compound characterization, offering insights into thermal stability, decomposition kinetics, and molecular structure. This review summarizes recent literature on thermoanalytical methodologies characterizing Aceclofenac and its derivatives. A bibliographic review was conducted using the SciFinder web platform, resulting in the selection of ten relevant articles published between 2016 and 2023. The analysis reveals that thermal analysis is crucial for studying pharmaceuticals, providing insights into various physicochemical properties.  Despite the importance of experimental methodologies in scientific publications, some studies lack adequate pre-experimental information, hindering reproducibility. In this review, it was observed that out of eight studies, twelve thermoanalytical techniques were employed for aceclofenac characterization, with DSC being the most used method. However, one author omitted crucial information about experimental procedures, highlighting the need for transparent reporting in scientific research.

A história da educação de surdos é marcada por inúmeras adversidades. Com isso, abordagens que priorizavam o ensino da fala e leitura labial tiveram impactos negativos na Comunidade Surda (CS) e atrasaram o seu desenvolvimento social. No Brasil, a falta de reconhecimento e de apoio à Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS) contribuíram para a marginalização e exclusão social dos surdos. Entretanto, a oficialização da LIBRAS, por meio da Lei Federal nº 10.436, em 24 de abril de 2002, trouxe uma mudança importante, reconhecendo e valorizando a Língua de Sinais (LS) como um meio legítimo de expressão e comunicação. No contexto educacional, a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação traz à tona debates acerca da Educação Inclusiva, buscando contemplar as particularidades de todos os alunos, surdos ou ouvintes. Contudo, no ensino de Química, existem inúmeros termos técnicos da disciplina que não possuem sinais respectivos na LIBRAS e se intensificam em áreas mais específicas, como a Química Verde (QV) e os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Com isso, o presente trabalho buscou apresentar novos sinais-termo relacionados aos temas de QV e aos ODS, estabelecendo conexões com a Metáfora da Bipirâmide Triangular (MBT). A partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa, os resultados obtidos na pesquisa apresentam o desenvolvimento de 11 (onze) sinais-termo criados por um instrutor surdo. Assim, o estudo em questão reforça o compromisso com a acessibilidade e valorização da LIBRAS.
