AI and big data in economic regulation: A comparative analysis of China and the United States
Authors: Tang Chengyuan
Published: July 2024

This paper examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in economic regulation within China and the United States, highlighting the differing approaches and outcomes. In China, the centralized governance structure allows for the swift and uniform implementation of AI-driven strategies, optimizing government strategies, and balancing economic growth with social equity. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the People's Bank of China (PBOC) are key players in utilizing AI to forecast economic trends and stabilize the economy. Conversely, the U.S. employs a decentralized approach, with AI applications driven primarily by the private sector and academia. The Federal Reserve leverages AI for policy decisions, while private firms use predictive models to enhance market strategies. Big data analysis supports decision-making in both nations, but differing governance structures lead to unique challenges and benefits. This study compares the centralized and decentralized systems, assessing their impact on economic performance and policy flexibility. The findings provide insights into how AI and big data can be optimized for economic regulation, offering lessons for other countries in adopting these technologies.
Enhancing multilingual information retrieval: The efficacy of hybrid approaches
Authors: Hu Junhui
Published: July 2024

Multilingual Information Retrieval (MLIR) plays a crucial role in accessing information across different languages. This paper explores various techniques and tools used in Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR), focusing on query translation, document translation, and hybrid approaches. Query translation employs bilingual dictionaries and machine translation systems to convert user queries from one language to another, whereas document translation involves translating documents into the query language for indexing and retrieval. Hybrid approaches combine these methods to optimize retrieval performance, leveraging the strengths of both to address their individual limitations. Our comparative analysis shows that hybrid systems consistently outperform standalone query or document translation systems, achieving higher precision, recall, and user satisfaction. For instance, hybrid systems in multilingual legal document retrieval tasks achieved precision rates of 88%, recall rates of 82%, and an F1 score of 0.85. These results underscore the effectiveness of hybrid approaches in handling the complexities of MLIR, providing more accurate and comprehensive retrieval outcomes. This study highlights the practical benefits of hybrid CLIR systems and suggests directions for future research in enhancing multilingual access to information.

Estudo dialetométrico do Atlas Semântico-Lexical da Região do Grande ABC (ASL_ABC)
Authors: Cristianini Adriana Cristina
Published: July 2024

Por meio de estudos dialetológicos, geolinguísticos, sociolinguísticos, entre outros, pesquisadores direcionam seus olhares para diferentes aspectos da língua e tipos de variação. Esses estudos nos oportunizam conhecer com maior exatidão, descrever e mensurar a atuação dos fenômenos linguísticos relacionados a fatores sociais, culturais, históricos, políticos, regionais e outros. Entretanto, o volume de dados tratados em tais estudos é gigantesco e tem-se tornado cada vez maior. Muitas vezes, somente com o auxílio de recursos tecnológicos podemos desenvolver pesquisas que, num passado não muito distante, seriam impossíveis. Dada a essa breve reflexão, partimos dos registros do Atlas Semântico-lexical da Região do Grande ABC e, seguindo os princípios teórico-metodológicos da Escola Dialetométrica de Salzburgo, objetivamos apresentar neste artigo um estudo dialetométrico, com auxílio do software DiaTech. Essa ferramenta permite abordar um grande número de dados de um atlas linguístico, para relacionar dois ou mais pontos da pesquisa, auxiliando na constituição de uma visão geral e de padrões de variação diatópica. Segundo Saramago (2020), a Dialetometria permite um maior aproveitamento do material existente nos atlas linguísticos e possibilita a descoberta de relações que ficariam ocultas com a aplicação do método qualitativo ou tradicional na análise de dados.

Does Fredrickson Friedewald’s formula and direct assay of LDL concentration in serum give varying results? - A pilot retrospective study in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Singh Aditi , Meena Mukesh , Prisi Shailata , Chauhan Preeti , Singh Ritu , Ankur Ankur
Published: July 2024

Background and Aims:
The LDL-C levels guide the cardiovascular risk assessment under the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP) as well as used for the management of dyslipidemia. Traditionally, LDL-C level is calculated using the Friedewald formula i.e., cLDL, however, recently many of the laboratories have shifted to newer methods of direct LDL-C estimation, i.e., dLDL. With this transition, there is increased demand to compare and establish updated LDL-C level cutoffs for the risk assessments of cardiovascular events.

Methods:
A retrospective observational study, comprising 216 study participants, was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, Lady Hardinge Medical College, and associated hospitals, in New Delhi for 12 months. Data was collected from 216 adult patients (> 18 years) whose routine fasting lipid profile was done and documented in our clinical biochemistry lab. LDL-C levels done by direct method and calculated methods were compared using the Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Appropriate statistical tests were used with a p-value <0.05 taken as statistically significant.

Results:
When compared between dLDL-C and cLDL-C significant difference was seen with mean values as 104 ±38.8 and 85.5 ±35.6 mg/dl respectively. However, a strong positive correlation was seen between dLDL-C and cLDL-C, r=0.9, p<0.01. The ICC showed good reliability for overall comparison between dLDL-C and cLDL-C, however, reliability was found to be poor for group 2.

Conclusions:
Friedewald and modified Friedewald equations can be used as a substitute for direct homogenous LDL estimation when resources are scarce.
Screening female refugees in Sudan’s challenging Settings: A simple, feasible, and affordable telemedicine framework
Authors: Salih Alaaddin , Mohamed Mohamed , Norealdaim Momen , Khalifa Abubkr , alhuda Dafalla
Published: July 2024

Background and Aims:
Cancers often go unnoticed during emergencies; exacerbating underdiagnoses and late presentations. Telemedicine-driven screening systems emerge as effective and economical alternatives, particularly crucial amidst Sudan’s current refugee situation.

Methods:
Using the 3-step process: First, cancer burden was assessed using Refugees Commission data and presented as per 100,000 period prevalence. Second, case definitions for malignancies under study were then created as a screening base. Third, the telemedicine framework was built following user-centered design’s (UCD) 4 steps (analysis of stakeholders’ needs; design using the MAIA model; implementation according to BPMN flowchart; and users’ feedback evaluation).

Results:
The most common tumor was breast followed by ovarian cancer (median=16.45 and 3.19 per 100,000). UCD’s four steps shaped our framework, with MAIA aiding the management plan’s design for suspected cases. BPMN guaranteed seamless implementation, and our model scored 6.83 out of 7 on a Martinez-Alcalá inspired Likert system upon evaluation.

Conclusions:
Designing a telemedicine-based screening system for refugees necessitates incorporating epidemiological mapping, clinical presentations, contextual and cultural dimensions, and ensuring overall feasibility.
Aqueous Extract Analysis of Lens Epithelial Cells: Unraveling the Link between Oxidative DNA Damage and Malondialdehyde in Senile Cataract
Authors: Gawali Kranti , Jadhao Avinash , Rathod Venkatesh
Published: July 2024

Background and Aims:
The purpose of this study was to examine the level of oxidative stress in people with cataracts, based on previous studies that indicated its role in causing DNA damage and cataract formation. The study also sought to determine the correlation between the degree of DNA damage and the concentration of malondialdehyde, a marker of lipid peroxidation, in patients with senile cataracts.

Methods:
The study involved 30 senile cataract patients aged 50-80 years and 12 cadaveric donors of corneal tissue who died in road accidents. They were selected from the ophthalmology ward of Acharya Vinoba Bhave Hospital. The aim was to measure DNA damage in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) by Comet assay and malondialdehyde levels in the aqueous extract of HLECs.

Results:
The study found that the oxidative DNA damage level of human lens epithelial cells is not correlated with the malondialdehyde levels in the aqueous extract of HLECs in senile cataract patients.

Conclusions:
The study did not support the hypothesis that oxidative stress is a major factor in the development of cataracts. The results suggest that other mechanisms, such as genetic factors, environmental factors may be more relevant in the pathogenesis of cataracts.

Published: July 2024

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder requiring long-term combination therapy with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDS), low-dose steroids, proton pump inhibitors, calcium, and folic acid and these drugs cause multitude of side effects. This study on the efficacy and
tolerability of drugs used in RA among South Indian patients can guide in tailoring a treatment regimen more suited for South Indian population.

Aims and Objectives: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of drugs used in the treatment of RA among South Indian patients.

Materials and Methods: In this prospective observational study, 120 newly diagnosed RA patients attending rheumatology outpatient department in a tertiary care center in South India were recruited after obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval and informed consent. Sociodemographic details and baseline investigations were done. Each patient was followed up for a period of 6 months wherein, response to treatment was evaluated and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported were collected, analyzed and appropriate treatment was instituted. Data analysis was done using SPSS software.

Results: One hundred patients completed the study. There was female preponderance (85%) and 38% were rheumatoid factor positive. Efficacy of combination therapy was evidenced falling erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P < 0.001), modified health assessment questionnaire,and disease activity score 28 scorings after 1st, 3rd, and 6th month of therapy (P < 0.001) and improvement in hemoglobin count (P < 0.001). The number of swollen joints was also significantly reduced (P < 0.001). Common ADRs reported were gastritis (29%), mucosal ulcers (10%), macrocytic anemia (3%), chloroquine-related ocular toxicity (2%).

Conclusion: NSAIDS and steroids helped to achieve early remission and caused most of adverse effects. Methotrexate and chloroquine had good tolerability and were preferred DMARDs in our center. Thus, we conclude that the combination therapy used in our center is efficacious and well tolerated by South Indian population.

Authors: Farias Lavínia Campos , Pavione Isabella Viana Nério , Silva Lucas Lopes , Mendonça Igor Marcino
Published: July 2024

A obesidade está relacionada a diversas comorbidades, incluindo Diabetes Mellitus e Síndrome Metabólica. A cirurgia bariátrica é um método eficaz para perda de peso, mas pode causar a Síndrome de Dumping (SD), a qual possui sintomas como síncope, plenitude gástrica, taquicardia, sudorese, entre outros. A SD requer abordagem multidisciplinar para manejo, incluindo dieta e, em casos graves, revisão cirúrgica. É crucial discutir esse tema devido ao crescimento das cirurgias bariátricas e da incidência da SD. O objetivo desse trabalho consiste em analisar a fisiopatologia da SD, os fatores de risco, os métodos diagnósticos e as estratégias terapêuticas, visando aprimorar o entendimento dessa condição clínica e contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade de vida destes pacientes. O diagnóstico da SD é baseado em uma combinação de fatores, entre eles o Escore Sigstad, ferramenta mais utilizada para avaliar a probabilidade de um paciente estar com SD. O manejo da SD inclui, primeiramente, alterações dietéticas, como refeições frequentes e em menor quantidade, além de redução do consumo de cafeína, álcool, alimentos com alto teor glicêmico e líquido durante as refeições. Se falha, o uso de medicamentos, como a Acarbose, análogos da somatostatina e Canagliflozina podem ser indicados. Em SD refratária, o tratamento endoscópico – gastroenteroscopia, escleroterapia e suturas superficiais ou de espessura total – demonstrou eficácia. Em casos graves, a intervenção cirúrgica está indicada. A SD é comum pós-cirurgias bariátricas, afetando a qualidade de vida. Porém estas cirurgias reduzem significativamente o risco cardiovascular, exigindo cuidado na informação pré-cirúrgica e manejo clínico multiprofissional pós-operatório dos pacientes.

Authors: Aryn Assel , Issakhova Parida
Published: July 2024

Relevance. The study examines higher education financing systems in OECD countries and Kazakhstan, analyzing the contributions of different funding sources. This is relevant as education funding impacts access, quality, and economic development. Purpose. The main goal of the study is to determine the share of participation of the state, the private sector and other entities in financing the higher education system in the OECD countries in comparison with the Republic of Kazakhstan. Methodology. The research used economic and statistical methods, comparative analysis, and expert evaluation. Data was gathered from OECD, World Bank, UNESCO, and Kazakhstan government reports and statistics. Results. The study found four main models of higher education financing among OECD countries, varying in tuition costs and student support. Most OECD countries spend over 1.5% of GDP on higher education, with the public sector as the main funder in European countries. Kazakhstan spends only 0.3% of GDP on higher education, with 70% of students self-funding their education. Conclusions. Kazakhstan's higher education financing system provides limited government support and low tuition fees, resembling the fourth OECD model. To improve competitiveness, Kazakhstan needs to increase investment in higher education and human capital development, expanding funding sources and mechanisms based on OECD country experiences. The current grant allocation system is not equitable for low-income students and needs reform. Keywords: higher education; state funding; private sector; state budget expenditures

Design thinking is an important concept presented in entrepreneurship education. However, the cognitive aspect of design thinking has been neglected by business teaching and learning practices. The aim of this paper is to present a game-based pedagogy to support the cognitive aspect of design thinking and to promote this approach as an alternative to predictive and adaptive pedagogies that are still dominant in entrepreneurial learning. To disseminate our pedagogical approach, we designed and presented experiential learning activities in a workshop format. In this workshop, the participants took part in ludic tasks such as gameplay and board game design to enhance their comprehension about entrepreneurship through design thinking.

In the modern post-secondary classroom, there is a push for more experiential and active learning activities for students. A variety of benefits such as engagement, improved learning and self regulated learning have ensued with these different types of learning. Studies regarding these benefits have mostly centered on experiences carefully orchestrated by instructors, rather than experiences that were created by students under the guidance of instructors. Herein is a study of the benefits and efficiency, of the latter type of activity, which requires students to generate chemical puzzles in a large post-secondary classroom. The authors determined that not only is a puzzle generation activity possible, but students’ reflections on instructor examples highlights the potential for learning and for a new form of assessment. Going forward, however, the study also shows more support and examples are required in future iterations of the puzzle framework, to help students create a meaningful experience.
Market Design for the 21st Century: Recommendations for Alberta’s Power Market
Authors: Shaffer Blake , Wolak Frank A.
Published: July 2024

Alberta’s electricity system is in transition. From a system dominated by coal generation less than a decade ago, Alberta’s electricity is now largely supplied by natural gas generation with an increasing share of variable wind and solar energy. Falling clean technology costs, federal clean electricity regulations and a rising carbon price will further shift Alberta’s supply mix away from unabated fossil fuels into one more reliant on a mix of renewables and new technologies, such as carbon-captured natural gas, small modular nuclear reactors and hydrogen generation.
In this report, we consider future market designs fit for purpose for this changing electricity mix. We assess market design options based on the criteria of reliability, affordability, investor confidence and complexity. At the heart of the matter is the question of which approach is best able to deliver reliable and low emission supply at low cost to Alberta consumers.
Importantly, we consider market designs suitable for the changing nature of 21st century grids with more variability on the supply side and more flexibility on the demand side. If the grid of the past involved forecasting demand and dispatching supply, increasingly grids of the future will flip this upside down by forecasting supply and dispatching demand. Alberta’s market design needs to both reflect and enable this new reality.

Politik dan Dakwah dalam Sirah Nabawiyah: Studi Multikasus
Authors: Kristianto Aris , Azizi Muhammad Hildan
Published: July 2024

Artikel ini membahas hubungan antara politik dan dakwah dengan menganalisis perilaku Nabi Muhammad saw dalam Sirah Nabawiyah. Memahami perbedaan dan hubungan keduanya penting untuk menghindari kerancuan dalam menafsirkan perilaku Nabi Muhammad saw dan memahami batasan peran agama dalam kehidupan sosial dan politik. Kerancuan penafsiran terhadap hal ini berpotensi memunculkan perilaku penyalahgunaan dakwah untuk kepentingan politik atau mengaburkan tujuan utama dakwah. Pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif berjenis multi-kasus  berdasarkan kajian pustaka digunakan dalam pembahasan tentang hal ini. Hasil kajian menemukan bahwa politik dan dakwah adalah dua konsep yang berbeda, namun memiliki ruang hubungan yang saling beririsan. Perbedaan mendasar antara politik dan dakwah terletak pada objek perilakunya. Politik adalah pengelolaan kekuasaan, sedangkan dakwah adalah mengelola keimanan/ketakwaan suatu pihak. Dalam beberapa kasus, Nabi Muhammad saw melakukan kegiatan politik murni atau dakwah murni, namun juga terdapat kegiatan yang mengandung unsur politik dan dakwah secara simultan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa politik dan dakwah dapat saling terkait dan memperkuat satu sama lain.
