A fatermékek (HWP) jelentős mennyiségű szenet tárolnak, a hosszú élettartamú termékek és a fa épületszerkezeti elemek a széntárolás egyik leghatékonyabb módját valósítják meg. A faipari termékek élettartamának meghosszabbítása, valamint a megfelelő hulladékkezelés, újrahasznosítás és újrafelhasználás jelentősen hozzájárulhatnak a klímacélok eléréséhez. Tanulmányunkban 10 különböző forgatókönyv alapján 2050-ig vetítettük előre a hazai fatermékek széntárolását, illetve széndioxid és metán kibocsátásait annak érdekében, hogy megtaláljuk a legnagyobb klímavédelmi hatással bíró faipari intézkedések kombinációját. Az előrejelzéshez az országspecifikus HWP-RIAL modellt használtuk, mely alkalmas a fatermékek széntárolásának prognosztizálására, valamint az életciklus végéhez és a hulladékkezeléshez kapcsolódó kibocsátások előrejelzésére is. A vizsgálatunk leglényegesebb következtetése az, hogy további intézkedések nélkül a magyarországi fatermékek 2047-re széndioxid nyelőből kibocsátóvá válnak. A szénmegkötés folyamatos fenntartása érdekében elengedhetetlen további klímavédelmi intézkedések bevezetése, beleértve a kaszkád termékértékláncokat és a körkörös biogazdálkodási megközelítést. A leghatékonyabb egyedi intézkedések közé tartozik a termékek életidejének növelése, az újrahasznosítási arány növelése és az iparifa mennyiségének növelése az ipari választékarány növelésével, vagy a kitermelés fokozásával. Ezen intézkedések kombinációjával a 2022-2050 közötti időszakban éves átlagban maximum 1,5 millió t CO2 egyenérték klímamitigációs potenciál érhető el.

Study of the effect of the permeability of the interwell space on the efficiency of steam gravity drainage
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Leonovich Daryana A.
Published: January 2025

The paper presents a study of the influence of permeability of interwell space on the efficiency of vapour-gravity drainage under different modes of injection well operation on the basis of numerical modeling. The study was carried out on the model of a reservoir containing highly viscous oil, the dynamic viscosity of which at a reservoir temperature of 8 degrees Celsius is about 25 Pa?•?s.
Modeling of non-isothermal multiphase filtration processes is performed using an approach based on implicit pressure calculation by the finite element method and recalculation of saturations of phases after their transfer in accordance with the flow values obtained from the calculated pressure gradients. The temperature field is calculated in two stages: a convective heat transfer is taken into account during phase transfers, and heat propagation due to thermal conductivity of the medium is calculated by solving the boundary value problem for the heat conduction equation. The modeling method takes into account the dependences of phase viscosities on temperature and their densities on temperature and pressure, energy release or absorption during vaporization and condensation, as well as the inhomogeneity of the geological model.
Numerical experiments to investigate the influence of permeability of interwell space on the efficiency of steam-gravity drainage were carried out for a heterogeneous reservoir in which a layer with different permeability from the rest of the reservoir is located between horizontal wells. The results demonstrated the difference in oil production and change in steam chamber shape depending on the permeability contrast between the layer and the rest of the reservoir. The model with a permeability layer twenty times lower than the rest of the reservoir showed the highest volume of accumulated produced oil when the wells were operated in the same mode. The possibility of steam or condensed water breaking through to the production well was investigated. At variation of volumes of steam injection, the situations when an increase in steam injection leads to a decrease in the oil share in the withdrawn mixture were obtained. It is shown that for effective application of steam methods of oil recovery enhancement it is important to perform a preliminary reservoir analysis and modelling of expected well operation modes.
Increasing spatial resolution in optical microscopy systems using low-magnification micro lenses

Optical microscopy systems are an important research method in many medical and industrial applications. Spatial resolution depends on the design of the objective lens and the field of view narrows as magnification increases. As the resolution increases, the field of view narrows. The maximum field of view is achieved with lenses with low magnification ratio and correspondingly low spatial resolution. Lenses with low resolution are structurally simple to manufacture and therefore inexpensive. Therefore, the use of such lenses to increase spatial resolution is a promising direction.
The purpose of this work is to investigate the possibility of increasing the spatial resolution of optical microscopy systems using micro-lenses with a low magnification ratio while maintaining their inherent wide field of view. Improvement of spatial resolution is realized with the help of the approach proposed in the paper based on the technology of subpixel scanning and introduction of aperture function independent of the image properties. In this case, the spectrum of the image synthesized with the help of subpixel scanning technology is compensated by the multiplier of the proposed aperture function, the type of which depends only on the type of lens aperture and does not depend on the properties of the object under study. For realization of subpixel shift scanning the modification of the slide of metallographic aggregate microscope METAM-R1 was carried out. The two-coordinate stage can be positioned with high accuracy under computer control. The obtained experimental results show the realizability of the proposed approach.
The disadvantage of the proposed approach is the necessity to use an additional subpixel shift system. However, in many cases the use of subpixel shifts is more preferable than the use of complex lenses with high resolution and small field of view.

Bridges play a crucial role in the logistics of the Recife Metropolitan Region – (RMR), which influences the modernity of the city's architecture and landscaping. Due to the importance of these structures for the city's growth, it is essential to carry out studies that make it possible to better understand the current state of conservation of the bridge. The present study sought to investigate the recurrent pathological manifestations in the structure of the Duarte Coelho Bridge located in Recife/PE, which helped in the development of the damage map. To carry out this survey, visual inspections were carried out using identification sheets of all damages that describe the current situation and recorded through photographs and images obtained by the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) camera. The damage map was created with the help of AutoCAD software from the registered data specifying the specific damages. Through on-site analyses, it was observed that the majority of pathological manifestations could be mitigated through prevention and management measures for periodic maintenance. The bridge is in a moderate state of conservation and, based on the damage map prepared, it was observed that the most recurrent pathological manifestations were: mold and mildew, damp spots, efflorescence, fissures, concrete spalling and reinforcement corrosion. The analysis carried out allowed us to visualize the precariousness, highlighting the need for repairs and the creation of a preventive maintenance plan. Prevention prevents the recurrence of these anomalies, ensuring the safety and durability of structures, in addition to preserving the logistical and functional importance of bridges for society.

Published: January 2025

This study explores the link between the management of construction waste and the incidence of dengue in Campinas, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices and the role of public authorities. Between 2018 and 2021, the exemption from the onerous grant of the right to build indicated a possible increase in construction activity, coinciding with the growth of dengue cases, exacerbated by atypical climatic events and floods that created areas conducive to the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. By analyzing data on issued permits, dengue case records, and rainfall, the study seeks to understand how urban and environmental dynamics affect public health. It emphasizes the need for an integrated approach that involves public policies, solid waste management techniques, and community awareness to discuss the risks of dengue proliferation in urban areas.

Published: January 2025

Background: The notion of hope is characterized as an optimistic expectation or anticipation of favorable outcomes. In the age of extensive social media usage, research has primarily focused on monolingual techniques, and the Urdu and Arabic languages have not been addressed.
Purpose: This study addresses joint multilingual hope speech detection in the Urdu, English, and Arabic languages using a transfer learning paradigm. We developed a new multilingual dataset named Posi-Vox-2024 and employed a joint multilingual technique to design a universal classifier for multilingual dataset. We explored the fine-tuned BERT model, which demonstrated a remarkable performance in capturing semantic and contextual information.
Method: The framework includes (1) preprocessing, (2) data representation using BERT, (3) fine-tuning, and (4) classification of hope speech into binary (‘hope’ and ‘not hope’) and multi-class (realistic, unrealistic, and generalized hope) categories.
Results: Our proposed model (BERT) demonstrated benchmark performance to our dataset, achieving 0.78 accuracy in binary classification and 0.66 in multi-class classification, with a 0.04 and 0.08 performance improvement over the baselines (Logistic Regression, in binary class 0.75 and multi class 0.61), respectively.
Conclusion: Our findings will be applied to improve automated systems for detecting and promoting supportive content in English, Arabic and Urdu on social media platforms, fostering positive online discourse. This work sets new benchmarks for multilingual hope speech detection, advancing existing knowledge and enabling future research in underrepresented languages.

Defining Price Stability: Public Accountability of the European Central Bank’s Goal Independence
Authors: Vermeiren Mattias
Published: January 2025

The persistent undershooting of its self-defined target to achieve inflation “below but near two percent” prompted the European Central Bank (ECB) to launch a review of its monetary policy strategy and adopt a symmetric inflation target. In this article, I examine the politics of accountability underlying the ECB’s re-definition of its price stability objective through a comparison with the strategy review of the Federal Reserve, which went further than the ECB by setting an average inflation target that intentionally seeks to pursue periods of above-target inflation to compensate for periods of below-target inflation. Drawing on a reputational perspective on public accountability, I elaborate two arguments. First, the ECB decided to engage in a strategy review and revise its inflation target to restore its performative and technical reputation in the face of its persistent undershooting of its inflation target in the decade after the great financial and euro crisis. Second, the presence of a stronger “deflationary bloc” in the region constrained the ECB in adopting an average inflation target and its associated make-up strategy without tarnishing its socio-political reputation.
Violence, Hate Speech, and Discrimination in Video Games: A Systematic Review
Authors: Moreno-López Robeto , Argüello-Gutiérrez Catalina
Published: January 2025

This systematic review analyses the relationships between violence, hate speech, discrimination, and video games. A comprehensive search of the Web of Science and Scopus databases identified 47 relevant studies published between 2018 and 2023. The review examines how video games may provide fertile ground for online violence, hate speech, and discrimination, while also exploring their potential as educational tools. Key findings suggest that exposure to violent video game content can increase aggressive cognitions and behaviours, particularly when combined with competitive gameplay. However, prosocial aspects of gaming may promote positive intergroup attitudes and reduce prejudice. Hate speech and discriminatory behaviours remain prevalent issues in online gaming communities, disproportionately affecting marginalised groups. The article highlights the complex interactions between game content, individual factors, and sociocultural contexts in shaping player experiences and behaviours. While video games pose risks, they also offer opportunities for fostering empathy, cultural understanding, and critical thinking, if they are thoughtfully designed. The findings underscore the need for evidence‐based interventions to mitigate online hate and maximise the educational potential of video games.

Published: January 2025

This research addresses mechanical system issues and how data visualization might improve predictive maintenance (PdM). The primary goal is to examine how data visualization simplifies complicated maintenance data, improves prediction accuracy, and aids real-time decision-making. This research identifies PdM visualization trends, developments, and problems by synthesizing secondary data from academic publications, industry reports, and technical papers. Significant results show that visualization tools like real-time monitoring, AI integration, and immersive technologies like AR and VR may change PdM. These advances simplify complicated information, enable proactive maintenance, and boost mechanical system management efficiency. However, data integration, standards, and expensive implementation costs prevent wider use, especially for SMEs. The paper suggests standardization, labor training, and technology adoption incentives as governmental recommendations. Promoting PdM visualization via supporting policies would enable enterprises of all sizes to realize the full potential of predictive maintenance, boosting system dependability and operational efficiency.
The Effectiveness of Developing Cloud-Based Agricultural Environmental Sensing System to Support Food and Agriculture Education in Elementary School
Authors:   Department of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, National Pingtung University, Taiwan, Lin Yen-Ting
Published: January 2025

This study developed a cloud-based agricultural environmental sensing framework and system to support traditional food and agricultural education, aiming to overcome the limitations of conventional teaching methods and enhance the learning experience. The system includes solar panels, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, and light sensors, which are sustainable energy components and sensors used to monitor the growth environment of crops. Integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology and cloud services, the system can instantly monitor the environment of planted crops, providing students and teachers with critical data on factors affecting crop development. By real-time monitoring of crop growth environments, students and teachers can continuously record and observe the growth of crops, ensuring that the educational process is uninterrupted. To evaluate the effect of the proposed system on students’ learning performance in traditional food and agricultural education courses, a quasi-experiment was conducted in an elementary school setting over six weeks, involving two classes. One class served as the control group, engaged in traditional food and agricultural education courses without the proposed system, while the other, the experimental group, was engaged in the courses with the proposed system. The results indicated no significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of learning achievements, motivation, or attitudes.
La extensión al este de la industria azucarera cubana y el control de su mercado. José Miguel Tarafa y el proyecto de gestión corporativa de centrales y ferrocarriles, 1907-1914
Authors: Santamaría Antonio
Published: January 2025

La industria azucarera se extendió en el siglo XX por el este de Cuba, que apenas disponía de ella. El proceso coincidió con las condiciones de alta demanda y cotización y bajos aranceles de la primera guerra mundial, por lo que se aceleró y precisó mucho capital, aportado por grupos financieros estadunidenses, que acabaron predominando en la propiedad de los centrales. El artículo muestra que esto ha impedido ver que empezó antes, cuando la coyuntura política y de mercado permitió maximizar la capacidad de oferta e infraestructuras restablecidas y creadas tras el conflicto de independencia insular, y vinculado a la pugna de los productores locales con sus clientes (refinadores estadunidenses) por mejorar su margen de ganancias en la cadena de valor del dulce, lo que exigía controlar gran cantidad del mismo y su transporte. José M. Tarafa diseñó el principal proyecto al respecto, planeó comprar y construir ingenios y un ferrocarril en norte de Camagüey, región desprovista de vías de tren, no obstante, sólo logró los dos últimos objetivos, debido a lo cual y al cambio de condiciones que acarreó la conflagración internacional es desconocido. Sin embargo, permite conocer qué habría supuesto compararlo con otro similar que sí se materializó, la Cuba Cane, creada por Manuel Rionda, aunque su establecimiento no lo lideraron empresarios locales, si no extranjeros, ni tuvo como fin erigir fábricas cañeras y vías de tren ni capturar mayores beneficios en la comercialización del azúcar.
Filomaci w kręgu filhellenizmu
Authors: Kalinowska Maria
Published: January 2025

W okresie działalności filomatów Wilno było jednym z najważniejszych ośrodków filhellenizmu w Polsce. W artykule rozważane są kwestie dotyczące roli filhellenizmu w środowisku filomatów. Czy idee filhellenizmu, które były tak silnie obecne w towarzyskich i kulturalnych kołach Wilna, wywarły jakikolwiek wpływ na światopogląd filomatów, ufundowany w głównej mierze na kulturze starożytnej Grecji? Jak w takiej sytuacji kształtowało się postrzeganie zaangażowania Byrona w sprawę grecką przez filomatów, a szczególnie przez Mickiewicza? Czy można dostrzec podobieństwa pomiędzy walką o niepodległość Polaków i Greków (widoczną szczególnie w tendencjach filhellenistycznych obecnych w Królestwie Polskim) także w Wilnie? Czy takie podobieństwa mogły w ogóle zaistnieć w latach dwudziestych XIX wieku? W artykule poruszono także kwestię różnego podejścia do tematyki filhellenistycznej u Mickiewicza i Słowackiego, a także wyraźnych odniesień do sonetu Mickiewicza „Do wizytujących” w notatkach z podróży Słowackiego (zwrot „w Grecyi rozboje”).
Opisania, plany, rysunki, zdobienia w zesłańczej korespondencji – nie tylko filomackiej
Authors: Król Małgorzata
Published: January 2025

Artykuł przybliża rozmaite sposoby podtrzymywania kontaktu pomiędzy członkami Towarzystwa Filomatycznego, najpierw na czas śledztwa i procesu uwięzionymi w Wilnie, a następnie zesłanymi do oddalonych od Polski guberni. Dotychczas uwagę badaczy najczęściej skupiały opisania, które stanowiąc odmianę literatury faktu, za cel główny stawiały historyczno-statystyczną prezentację miast i regionów lub prostsze opisy poznawanych miejsc. Artykuł jest próbą obrony tezy, że poza literackimi sposobami przybliżenia miejsc nieznanych, filomaci (ale nie tylko – casus Łuszczewskiej) włączali do swoich listów schematy, plany, portrety, które w sposób równie precyzyjny jak opis, a czasem dokładniejszy, ale na pewno bardziej ekonomiczny przybliżały przedmioty niedawnych opisań.

Authors: Kubusiak Ewa
Published: January 2025

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wartościowania czynności pisania przez członków wspólnoty dyskursywnej Towarzystwa Filomatów na podstawie korespondencji. Towarzystwo Filomatów to modelowa wspólnota dyskursywna, czyli społeczność ludzi związanych z określoną, zinstytucjonalizowaną działalnością, zakotwiczoną w dyskursie. Działanie wspólnoty dyskursywnej łączy się ze sferą aksjologiczną. Na podstawie korespondencji członków Towarzystwa Filomatów można wskazać wartości cenione przez wspólnotę. Jedną nich jest pisanie. Na ważność pisania wskazuje m.in. wysoka frekwencja użycia czasownika pisać w rozmaitych formach. Czasownik ten pojawia się przede wszystkim w elementach metatekstowych listu. Wysoko cenione pisanie odnosi się również do twórczości literackiej oraz użytkowej członków wspólnoty. Pewnym stopniem konotacji ujemnych charakteryzuje się pisanie rozpraw i wypracowań na spotkania Towarzystwa. Na podstawie analizy zebranego materiału można stwierdzić, że pisanie jest tym, co konstytuuje wspólnotę dyskursywną filomatów: pisanie listów, wierszy i rozpraw stanowi zobowiązanie Towarzystwa Filomatów.

Published: January 2025

The demand for angling native fish species and their conservation value are steadily increasing nowadays. Mobile fish hatchery developed by the Department of Aquaculture at MATE AKI allows for immediate on-site propagation after capturing the broodstock. Several experiments have demonstrated the usefulness of the system, but there are certain aspects changing dynamically such as temperature conditions due to the small size of system and environmental exposure, which require further investigation. In this study, applicability of mobile hatchery was compared with a closed recirculation hatchery system. Model species used in the experiments was the chub (Squalius cephalus L.). Results show the difference in daily heat input and average temperature between differently positioned Zuger jars in mobile hatchery; however, it does not affect hatching rate, larval mortality rate or body length of freshly hatched larvae. The closed recirculation system had a higher proportion of deformed larvae than the mobile hatchery; in addition, the hatching rate was positive in all Zuger jars. Based on statistical analysis, no statistically significant difference was detected in body length between Zuger. Body length of freshly hatched larvae in the closed recirculation system was significantly smaller than in case of groups incubated in Zuger jars 1 (P < 0.05) and 2 (P < 0.05). Results show that water temperature of mobile hatchery is affected by the temperature outside, but hatchery units provide optimal temperature for developing eggs even at low air temperatures.

Cultivating Cultural Memory: A Case Study of the Revitalization of Al Jazeera Al Hamra Heritage Village
Authors: Farhat Janaan , Seif Sara
Published: January 2025

The hydrocarbon-rich Gulf states are well-known for their pursuit of modernization following the discovery of oil reserves in the twentieth century, often at the expense of cultural heritage sites. However, over the past two decades, the Gulf states have become more interested in developing cultural legacies pertaining to their heritage, which is a process necessitating the activation of local people’s cultural memory. While restoration and conservation of cultural heritage sites is important for their protection, the performance of heritage is equally significant for the construction and maintenance of cultural memory, especially for abandoned heritage sites. The performance of heritage means a heritage site has a current real use that is sensitively introduced, carefully managed, and pays homage to the heritage rather than a tokenistic resemblance. This chapter uses the case study of the abandoned historical pearling town Al Jazeera Al Hamra Heritage Village in Ras Al Khaimah, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to investigate the influence of the revitalization of the Village on the construction and maintenance of cultural memory in Ras Al Khaimah and the wider UAE. Using interviews, document analysis, and observation, we argue that governmental action, in the form of allowing greater accessibility to the Village, coupled with citizens’ engagement with their heritage, has enabled Al Jazeera Al Hamra to feature more prominently in Emirati cultural memory. Accordingly, the case study is presented as an example of how citizen–government collaboration in the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage can increase local buy-in into national, cultural identity narratives. This chapter seeks to contribute to the academic literature on cultural heritage protection in the Gulf region and wider Middle East and North Africa, including the adaptive reuse of historical sites.

Impact of the use of Persea Americana (avocado) leaves extract to treat anaemia: A clinical trial in mice
Authors: Kambiring’oma Shupikai , Kaimila Yankho
Published: January 2025

Anaemia remains a global disease burden with Sub-Saharan Africa having the highest prevalence. In recent years, African traditional medicines are being researched for their potential to increase universal health coverage. This study assessed the effectiveness of avocado leaves extract on haemoglobin levels in phenylhydrazine induced anaemic mice. Anaemia was induced in 15 mice using intraperitoneal injection of 2.5% phenylhydrazine at a dose of 40 mg/kg. Mice were divided into three groups, group A was the control which received no treatment, group B received iron supplementation and group C received avocado leaves extract. Blood samples were analysed using a hemocue. Analysis of data was done using ANOVA and t-test. Avocado leaves increased haemoglobin levels by 2.5 ± 1.6 g/dl, (P = 0.031) and iron supplementation increased haemoglobin by 2.9 ± 1.9 g/dl (P < 0.001), compared to the control. Compared to avocado leaves, iron tablets increased haemoglobin levels by 0.3 ± 1.1 g/dl, (P = 0.951). A mean 2.9 ± 0.02 mg/L of iron was found in the avocado leaves used in this study. Phytochemical analysis detected the presence of flavonoids and alkaloids in the avocado leaves. The study reveals the potential of avocado leaves extracts in reversing anaemia. Further studies are recommended to validate adequate dose of the avocado leaves extract in treating anaemia.
Financial Capability Typology: The Investigation of Group Differences Among Young Adults
Authors: Lučić Andrea , Erceg Nikola , Ježovit Marija
Published: January 2025

The study aims to determine possible venues for the categorization of young adults based on their financial capabilities in order to facilitate a shift in how we define, evaluate, and shape their financial capability. A cross-sectional survey of 2,299 Croatians 16–28 years old led to the identification of four consumer types: “extreme impulsives,” illiterate impulsives,” “moderately uninterested,” and “rational planners.” To guide in-depth analyses, the study identified key psychological and environmental characteristics that differentiated types of young consumers based on financial capability. The types differed significantly in their psychological characteristics relevant for responsible and rational financial decision-making and behavior (actively open-minded thinking, consideration of future consequences, dispositional optimism, and life satisfaction), their environmental characteristics considering social surroundings (parental and peer social norms), and real-life outcomes such as the experience of money shortages. Finally, the study discusses the implications of the findings for financial education and interventions for increasing financial capability and improving financial decision-making and, consequently, responsible financial behaviors among young people.
Optimizing Kohonen Classification of Mixed Data with Partial Distance and Referent Vector Initialization
Authors: Touarsi Mouad , Gretete Driss , Elouadi Abdelmajid
Published: January 2025

The success of neural network models in clustering problems is highly dependent on the quality and diversity of the data used. Self-organizing maps (SOM), a semi-supervised data learning tool introduced by Kohonen in the 1980s, have been widely used in various fields such as signal and text recognition, industrial data analysis, speech and image recognition, etc. SOM's competitive learning clustering method, where each node specializes in a specific subset of data, has proven to be a powerful technique.
In this paper, we propose a new SOM variant suitable for handling numerical, interval, and categorical attributes simultaneously. Instead of random initialization of weights, we utilize the ASAICC algorithm to select initial referent vectors. 
Furthermore, we suggest representing one cluster using multiple referent vectors at once. The effectiveness of the proposed Kohonen variant is evaluated using well-known benchmark datasets, and the results are reported using reliable performance metrics. The simulation of the new algorithm is conducted using the R language, and the obtained results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach.

Background: Nutrition has a vital role in human health and well-being, influencing both physical development and cognitive abilities essential for academic success. Research indicates that improved nutrition is associated with enhanced academic performance, including elevated test scores and graduation rates. This study aims to evaluate adolescents' understanding and practices about balanced nutrition at Zaid Al-Shawkani School.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was executed utilizing a self-reported questionnaire. We employed a non-probability convenience sampling method to choose 100 adolescent students. We obtained participants' verbal consent and analyzed the data with SPSS.
Results: The survey revealed that 63.3% of students were aware of balanced meals, although only 54.4% implemented them. Sixty percent of responders indicated possessing a modest household income. Moreover, 79% of fathers of the pupils possessed an education, in contrast to just 43% of mothers.
Conclusion: Although possessing a moderate comprehension of balanced meals, around fifty percent of the pupils implement these dietary practices.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) management, offering promising applications across diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. In histopathology, deep learning models have shown impressive accuracy in differentiating liver lesions and extracting prognostic information from tissue samples. For biomarker discovery, AI techniques applied to multi-omics data have identified novel prognostic signatures and predictors of immunotherapy response. In radiology, convolutional neural networks have demonstrated high performance in classifying hepatic lesions, grading tumors, and predicting microvascular invasion from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Multimodal AI models integrating histopathology, genomics, and clinical data are emerging as powerful tools for risk stratification. Large language models (LLMs) show potential to support clinical decision making and patient education, though concerns about accuracy remain. While AI holds immense promise, several challenges must be addressed, including algorithmic bias, data privacy, and regulatory compliance. The successful implementation of AI in HCC care will require ongoing collaboration between clinicians, data scientists, and ethicists. As AI technologies continue to evolve, they are expected to enable more personalized approaches to HCC management, potentially improving diagnosis, treatment selection, and patient outcomes. However, it is crucial to recognize that AI tools are designed to assist, not replace, clinical expertise. Continuous validation in diverse, real-world settings will be essential to ensure the reliability and generalizability of AI models in HCC care.

Plea bargaining system is a procedure of bargaining for punishment between the prosecutor and the suspect or defendant on the basis of an admission of guilt from the latter party. This system leads to recovering the assets due to the lengthy period for asset confiscation process. This study aims to investigate the urgency of the plea bargaining system to be applied in confiscating the assets of perpetrators of corruption and the idea of its application in criminal procedural law in Indonesia. This is a doctrinal legal research focusing on the use of the statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings indicate that plea bargaining system serves the values of justice and increase the effectiveness of the performance of judges and courts. The goal is to prevent more expenses and to be much less time consuming. Confiscation of assets in plea bargain can be carried out by using the bargaining of facts with confiscation of assets of the criminal confiscation (conviction) with an admission of guilt from the perpetrator to be able to negotiate the said assets. The said type is meant to reduce the facts regarding the assets that will be confiscated, thus the facts that have been presented by the prosecutor do not need to be presented at trial. In the future, the reform of the criminal case settlement process needs to be paid more attention to so that it focuses on recovering the assets from perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption.Keywords: Asset confiscation, Plea bargaining system, Corruption.
AbstrakSistem plea bargaining adalah prosedur tawar-menawar untuk hukuman antara jaksa dan tersangka atau terdakwa atas dasar pengakuan bersalah dari pihak yang terakhir. Sistem ini mengarah pada pemulihan aset karena jangka waktu yang panjang untuk proses penyitaan aset. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki urgensi penerapan plea bargaining system dalam penyitaan aset pelaku korupsi dan gagasan penerapannya dalam hukum acara pidana di Indonesia. Ini adalah penelitian hukum doktrinal yang berfokus pada penggunaan pendekatan hukum, konseptual, dan komparatif. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa sistem plea bargaining melayani nilai-nilai keadilan dan meningkatkan efektivitas kinerja hakim dan pengadilan. Tujuannya adalah untuk mencegah lebih banyak biaya dan menjadi jauh lebih sedikit memakan waktu. Penyitaan aset dalam plea bargain dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan tawar-menawar fakta dengan penyitaan aset pelaku pidana penyitaan (vonis) dengan pengakuan bersalah dari pelaku untuk dapat menegosiasikan aset tersebut. Jenis tersebut dimaksudkan untuk mengurangi fakta bahwa ada harta yang nantinya akan disita, sehingga fakta yang telah disampaikan oleh jaksa tidak perlu disampaikan di persidangan. Ke depan, reformasi proses penyelesaian perkara pidana perlu lebih diperhatikan sehingga berfokus pada pengembalian aset dari pelaku tindak pidana korupsi.

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is valued in tropical and subtropical regions for its nutraceutical and medicinal properties. This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of unripe papaya fruit against microbial isolates. Extracts were obtained via maceration, and their antimicrobial activities were assessed using agar dilution and agar well diffusion techniques. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was employed to identify bioactive compounds in the extracts. The extracts were tested against Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Candida albicans. Both extracts demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity, with the aqueous extract showing the highest efficacy. However, S. aureus was resistant to the ethanol extract, while S. typhi was resistant to the aqueous extract. The optimal concentration for inhibition was 200 mg/mL for both extracts. The aqueous extract exhibited minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) of 12.5 mg/mL against S. aureus, B. subtilis, K. pneumoniae, and C. albicans. The ethanol extract had MICs of 50 mg/mL for B. subtilis, 25 mg/mL for S. typhi, and 12.5 mg/mL for K. pneumoniae and C. albicans. GC-MS analysis identified key bioactive compounds, including hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, and dihydroxyphenylglycol, contributing to the extracts’ antimicrobial properties. These findings support the traditional use of C. papaya as a natural antimicrobial agent and highlight its potential as a complementary treatment for antimicrobial-resistant infections. Further studies on its pharmacodynamics are recommended.
Geometrical approach to logical qubit fidelities of neutral atom Calderbank–Shor–Steane codes

Encoding quantum information in a quantum error correction (QEC) code enhances protection against errors. Imperfection of quantum devices due to decoherence effects will limit the fidelity of quantum gate operations. In particular, neutral atom quantum computers will suffer from correlated errors because of the finite lifetime of the Rydberg states that facilitate entanglement. Predicting the impact of such errors on the performance of topological QEC codes is important in understanding and characterizing the fidelity limitations of a real quantum device. Mapping a QEC code to a ℤ2 lattice gauge theory with disorder allows us to use Monte Carlo techniques to calculate upper bounds on error rates without resorting to an optimal decoder. In this article, we adopt this statistical mapping to predict error rate thresholds for neutral atom architecture, assuming radiative decay to the computational basis, leakage, and atom loss as the sole error sources. We quantify this error rate threshold pth and bounds on experimental constraints, given any set of experimental parameters.

Pertumbuhan penggunaan internet khususnya sosial media yang sangat pesat telah menyebabkan perubahan interaksi antar manusia yang sebelumnya terjadi secara langsung di dunia nyata kemudian berubah menjadi tidak langsung melalui sosial media. Ketika manusia berinteraksi melalui sosial media, terkadang terdapat kesalahpahaman informasi yang didapatkan dibandingkan secara langsung di dunia nyata. Hal ini karena kurangnya faktor penting ketika manusia berinteraksi melalui sosial media, yaitu emosi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeteksi emosi dari teks bahasa Indonesia dengan menerapkan algoritma Support Vector Machine (SVM). Penelitian dimulai dengan pembuatan 4 jenis data sampel yaitu, data sampel dengan jumlah 1000, 2500, dan 4000 tweet untuk proses training, dan data sampel dengan jumlah 120 tweet untuk proses testing. Kemudian seluruh data sampel tersebut melalui proses Natural Language Processing (NLP) untuk diekstrak informasinya. Setelah itu dilakukan proses training dengan algoritma SVM menggunakan 3 tipe kernel yang berbeda, yaitu Polinomial, Gaussian RBF, dan Sigmoid. Kemudian dilakukan pengujian dengan hasil tingkat akurasi yang cukup variatif untuk setiap jenis data sampel serta tipe kernel yang digunakan. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan kesimpulan semakin banyak jumlah data yang digunakan, maka semakin tinggi tingkat akurasi yang dihasilkan, namun waktu proses training yang dibutuhkan lebih lama. Sementara untuk tipe kernel Sigmoid memiliki tingkat akurasi yang tinggi, serta waktu proses training yang lebih cepat dibandingkan tipe kernel lainnya.
