Authors: Arslan Muhammad , Faizulayev Alimshan , Abeuova Dana , Kayani Umar Nawaz
Published: April 2024

The use of digital financial technologies (DFTs) for green finance has been evolving and has created new risks and challenges for the environment and users. This chapter aims to explore the risks, challenges, and opportunities that are associated with the use of DFTs for green finance. In this chapter, authors used Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science databases as sources for article collection. They initially collected over 245 articles for the period 2000 to 2023 through keyword searches, and their final sample consisted of 183 articles. They applied a thematic analysis and explored four themes (i.e., green innovation; green investment and sustainability; a data-driven approach; and the risks and challenges of using DFTs for green finance). In this chapter, the authors found that the DFTs offer several opportunities for green finance. However, the DFTs also pose several risks and challenges (such as cybercrime, fraud, scams, tax evasion, capital-intensive technologies, a lack of awareness, uncertain policies, and an absence of protection mechanisms) that need to be addressed.

Authors: Hai-Jew Shalin
Published: April 2024

How would a well-known artmaking generative AI (A-GAI) go about illustrating children's books? This chapter uses multiple prompting approaches to elicit children's book illustrations for known stories and more original plots to identify some early visual patterns from Deep Dream Generator. The research explores a variety of questions around the quality of the output images in conveying visual meaning in the children's book space (albeit using fictional prompts). This exploratory work provides some early and preliminary insights into this space, including in how to set up a light experiment using an A-GAI.
Exploratory Visual Digital Character and Visual Digital Scene Design Using Artmaking Generative AI
Authors: Hai-Jew Shalin
Published: April 2024

Static visual illustrations with characters and scenes play an important role in story problems and other pedagogical narratives. Such visuals may better engage learners, connect learners with the learning sequence, set the emotional tone, evoke settings, emphasize critical moments, and support the teaching and learning in other ways. With the popularization of artmaking generative AI, a practical question is how well this tool can make visual characters based on character design prompts for both animate and inanimate characters? What about the computerized drawing of scenes in which such characters may be placed, alone or in relation to each other? How difficult is it to prompt the generative AI to create consistent characters from different angles and perspectives? To create consistent scenes and backgrounds? This work explores how practically usable the AI-generated visuals are for the making of characters and scenes, with some light pre-production and post-production, as needed.

Published: April 2024

Generative artificial intelligence is an emerging technology that has impacted society recently and with productivity gains in the coming years. This technology learns from existing data to generate high-quality content such as text, images, music, speech, videos, and code. As part of the creative industries, collaboration between generative algorithms and human creativity brings challenges due to producing content and artistic images in response to natural language requests. Thus, this chapter establishes a methodology based on text-to-image generative artificial intelligence for producing assisted art in contextualized cultural content to generate unique and diverse images of the historical-cultural identity of southern Brazil. The steps of the methodology that can portray elements of Brazil's biome, cultural, and historical events are dataset assembling, model training and fine-tuning, and content enhancement and post-processing. In addition, the methodology allows an immersed experience with people being transported in period clothing and within a historical or cultural setting.

A Review on Plant Mediated Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles as a Greener Approach
Authors: Wickramarachchi P. A. S. R. , Paragodaarachchi Y. L.
Published: April 2024

Metal nanoparticles are used in all phases of science, including medical fields. They still seduce scientists to explore new dimensions for their respective value, which is usually attributed to their corresponding small sizes. Among the other metallic nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) aroused a keen interest. The chemical methods used to synthesize AgNPs involve reducing and stabilizing agents, which subsequently become risks to the environment. For these reasons, the green synthesis of AgNPs is a significant area of interest. Among the variety of biological molecules used to synthesize AgNPs, the biological molecules obtained in the form of plant extracts are superior to others because of the ease of handling and the reduction of costs. Many plant parts have been used to synthesize AgNPs such as whole plants, leaves, seeds, bark etc. The synthesis of AgNPs by plant extracts is due to the presence of a large amount of organic chemicals such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, enzymes and coenzymes, phenolic flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, gum, etc., capable of donating an electron to reduce Ag+ ions to Ag0. The active ingredient responsible for the reduction of Ag+ ions varies depending on the extract used. The size and size distribution of AgNPs synthesized with plant extracts depend on plant extract concentration, silver nitrate concentration, pH of the medium, incubation time and temperature. These factors can be modified to refine the properties of AgNPs. Almost all of these conditions have an optimal value to obtain smaller size AgNPs with a narrow size distribution.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Enterobacterales is a large family of Gram-negative bacilli including many pathogens. Carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (CPEs) have emerged as a global threat. This study was conducted to detect carbapenemase production by Enterobacterales isolates from clinical specimens and to correlate the occurrence of CPE with age, gender, and duration of hospital stay of the patients included in the study.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out using 120 consecutive, non-repetitive clinical isolates identified as Enterobacterales by the microbiology laboratories of Colombo South Teaching Hospital and Sri Jayewardenepura General Hospital. The demographic data of the patients was gathered and used to analyse the correlation with CPE occurrence. All isolates were identified up to species level using API 20E kits. Screening for detection of carbapenemase was carried out using meropenem, imipenem, and ertapenem disks. The Modified Hodge Test (MHT), which is one of the suggested procedures to determine carbapenemase production, was performed to identify carbapenemase producing isolates.Results: Of the120 isolates, 14 (11.7%) were resistant to at least one of the carbapenems tested. MHT detected carbapenemase production in ten (8.3%) isolates. The majority of these isolates were Klebsiella sp. (6; 60.0%). Of carbapenemase producing isolates, six were from urine specimens (60%). Eight (80.0%) of the CPE harbouring patients were males and eight (80.0%) were aged above 50 years. The mean duration of hospital stay of the patients was 7.2 days (±SD 5.65days).Conclusion: The proportion of CPE was 8.3% according to this study and emphasises the importance of conducting more studies on the prevalence of CPE in Sri Lanka.

Published: April 2024

Background: Penile fracture, though rare are more commonly seen in modern-day urological practice. It necessitates urgent and immediate surgical care. It can lead to severe mental and physical agony with functional limitations which could be either sexual or urinary or both. Precise and timely management combined with proper follow–up is mandatory. The emergency care surgeon/ Urologist should be abreast with the evaluation and prompt intervention can result in favourable outcomes.Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study at a tertiary care referral centre. The objective was to evaluate the causes, clinical presentation and outcome.Results: Nine (09) patients who reported at our centre were treated successfully and were later followed up for two years. The mean reporting time to the hospital was 40.8 hours (35 min-7 days) and all patients received prompt surgical management with 3 patients suffering minor complications at short-term follow-up. Vaginal intercourse was found to be the most common etiological cause for injury. Clinical evaluation and relevant history were sufficient to elucidate the diagnosis. No associated urethral injuries were presentConclusion: If typical symptoms are present (irrespective of signs) a diagnosis of penile fracture can be ascertained. Early exploration is preferable.

Effect of Socio-Economic and Institutional Factors on Different Choices of Food Production System Practiced in Home Gardens: A Case Study in Mahakanumulla Village Tank Cascade System
Authors: Silva P. S. H. , Weerasooriya S. A.
Published: April 2024

The global existence of small-scale food production at the household level has a wide range in terms of physical appearance and utilization. Household, market, and field gardens can be identified as three types of home food producti on systems in a village tank cascade system (VTCS) in the dry zone of Sri Lanka. The variation in food producti on systems adapted in VTCS serves differently for the community either by providing nutrient requirements or ensuri ng financial or food security. It is important to understand the determinants of this variation to support the comm unity to adapt the most suitable food production system for their well-being. Based on random utility theory, this study analyzes the socio-economic and institutional factors affecting the choice of food production system practiced in home gardens in Mahakanumulla VTCS. A revealed preference approach was employed to identify the current home garden choice of households. The decision to have a ho usehold garden is more driven by socio-economic and institutional factors rather than market gardens and field gard ens. The effect of these factors on the decision to have a field garden is comparatively less. Using these results policymakers can predict farm management decisions of households and plan evidence-based strategic governm ent intervention to meet the daily nutrient requirement, ensure food security, and mitigate food scarcity.

HIV is associated with NK cell dysfunction and expansion of adaptive-like NK cells that persist despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). We investigated the timing of NK cell perturbations during acute HIV infection and the impact of early ART initiation. PBMCs and plasma were obtained from people with HIV (PWH; all men who have sex with men; median age, 26.0 y) diagnosed during Fiebig stages I, II, III, or IV/V. Participants initiated ART a median of 3 d after diagnosis, and immunophenotyping was performed at diagnosis and longitudinally after ART. Anti-CMV Abs were assessed by ELISA. Samples from matched HIV-uninfected males were also analyzed. Proportions of adaptive NK cells (A-NKs; defined as Fcε-Receptor-1γ–) were expanded at HIV diagnosis at all Fiebig stages (pooled median 66% versus 25% for controls; p < 0.001) and were not altered by early ART initiation. Abs to CMV immediate early protein were elevated in PWH diagnosed in Fiebig stages III and IV/V (p < 0.03 for both). Proportions of A-NKs defined as either Fcε-Receptor-1γ− or NKG2C+/CD57+ were significantly associated with HIV DNA levels at diagnosis (p = 0.046 and 0.029, respectively) and trended toward an association after 48 wk of ART. Proportions of activated HLA-DR+/CD38+ NK cells remained elevated in PWH despite early ART initiation. NK cell activation and A-NK expansion occur very early after HIV transmission, before T cell activation, and are not altered by ART initiation during acute infection. A-NKs may contribute to HIV control and thus be useful for HIV cure.
The Lung Microbiome

Published: April 2024

Although the lungs were once considered a sterile environment, advances in sequencing technology have revealed dynamic, low-biomass communities in the respiratory tract, even in health. Key features of these communities—composition, diversity, and burden—are consistently altered in lung disease, associate with host physiology and immunity, and can predict clinical outcomes. Although initial studies of the lung microbiome were descriptive, recent studies have leveraged advances in technology to identify metabolically active microbes and potential associations with their immunomodulatory by-products and lung disease. In this brief review, we discuss novel insights in airway disease and parenchymal lung disease, exploring host–microbiome interactions in disease pathogenesis. We also discuss complex interactions between gut and oropharyngeal microbiota and lung immunobiology. Our advancing knowledge of the lung microbiome will provide disease targets in acute and chronic lung disease and may facilitate the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Published: April 2024

Background and purpose:

The previous work on koetjapic acid (KA) isolated from Sandoricum koetjape showed its efficacy towards colorectal cancer however KA has poor water solubility which poses the biggest hindrance to its efficacy. In the present paper, an attempt was made to study the anti-colon cancer efficacy of KA’s potassium salt i.e. potassium koetjapate (KKA) applying in vitro and in vivo methods.

Experimental approach:

KKA was produced by a semi-synthetic method. A human apoptosis proteome profiler array was applied to determine the protein targets responsible for the stimulation of apoptosis. Three doses of KKA were studied in athymic nude mice models to examine the in vivo anti-tumorigenic ability of KKA.

Findings/Results:

The results of this study demonstrated that KKA regulates the activities of various proteins. It downregulates the expression of several antiapoptotic proteins and negative regulators of apoptosis including HSP60, HSP90, Bcl-2, and IGF-1 in HCT 116 cells with consequent upregulation of TRAILR-1 and TRAILR-2, p27, CD40, caspase 3, and caspase 8 proteins. Additionally, KKA showed an in vitro antimetastatic effect against HCT 116 cells. These results are feasibly related to the down-regulation of Notch, Wnt, hypoxia, and MAPK/JNK and MAPK/ERK signalling pathways in HCT 116 cells besides the up-regulation of a transcription factor for cell cycle (pRb-E2F) pathways. In addition, KKA revealed potent inhibition of tumor growth.

Conclusion and implications:

In sum, the findings indicate that KKA can be a promising candidate as a chemotherapeutic agent against colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the involvement of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in EMT and their contributions to CRSwNP has not been extensively investigated. METHODS: SEVs were isolated from nasal mucosa through ultracentrifugation. MicroRNA sequencing and reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction were employed to analyze the differential expression of microRNAs carried by sEVs. Human nasal epithelial cells (hNECs) were used to assess the EMT-inducing effect of sEVs/microRNAs. EMT-associated markers were detected by western blotting and immunofluorescence. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine the target gene of miR-375-3p. MicroRNA mimic, lentiviral, and plasmid transduction were used for functional experiments. RESULTS: In line with the greater EMT status in eosinophilic CRSwNP (ENP), sEVs derived from ENP (ENP-sEVs) could induce EMT in hNECs. MiR-375-3p was elevated in ENP-sEVs compared to that in control and nonENP. MiR-375- 3p carried by ENP-sEVs facilitated EMT by directly targeting KH domain containing RNA binding (QKI) at seed sequences of 913-919, 1025-1033, and 2438-2444 in 3’-untranslated region. Inhibition of QKI by miR-375-3p overexpression promoted EMT, which could be reversed by restoration of QKI. Furthermore, the abundance of miR-375-3p in sEVs was closely correlated with the clinical symptom score and disease severity. CONCLUSIONS:MiR-375-3p-enriched sEVs facilitated EMT by suppressing QKI in hNECs. The association of miR-375-3p with disease severity underscores its potential as both a diagnostic marker and a therapeutic target for the innovative management of CRSwNP.

Published: April 2024

O estudo busca identificar os fatores que promoveram a interação de alunos de Ciências Contábeis de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) pública do Sul do Brasil nas aulas síncronas. Para que isso fosse possível, realizou-se uma investigação por meio de variáveis quantitativas coletadas com a aplicação de um questionário online a 50 alunos. Os dados coletados foram analisados no software SPSS, a partir de estatística descritiva, coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach, teste de normalidade Kolmogorov-Smirnov e Correlação de Spearman. O estudo focou nas formas de interação aluno-conteúdo, aluno-professor e aluno-aluno apresentadas por Moore (1989). Os resultados apontaram que as estratégias de ensino adotadas pelo professor é o principal fator que promove as formas de interação. Por outro lado, as responsabilidades pessoais dos alunos, como família, trabalho e tarefas de casa durante a aula síncrona são fatores que prejudicam as interações. O principal achado do estudo reforça a necessidade de os professores adotarem métodos de ensino adequados para a realidade dos alunos e que atendam suas necessidades, buscando utilizar ferramentas tecnológicas distintas e que engajem o aluno no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. O estudo contribui para a identificação de aspectos que influenciam a interação do aluno com o conteúdo, com o professor e com seus colegas, além de demonstrar a relevância do professor na promoção dessas interações durante a aula síncrona e a necessidade de tornar esse tipo de aula mais proveitosa e interessante para os alunos, o engajando no processo de ensino-aprendizagem e melhorando o seu desempenho, bem como a qualidade do ensino de Contabilidade.

Published: April 2024

Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o comportamento dos gastos públicos com saúde e educação em relação às receitas tributárias municipais no estado de Minas Gerais, utilizando a Teoria das Finanças Públicas como a lente teórica para as indagações acerca da utilização dos recursos públicos arrecadados. A pesquisa compreendeu o período de 2018 a 2020 e os dados referente aos municípios, dispostos nas 12 mesorregiões, foram coletados no site do Tribunal de Contas do Estado de Minas Gerais. Após as análises descritivas e de correlação entre as variáveis do estudo, utilizou-se do agrupamento por clusters e da análise multivariada de variância para comparar as diferenças de médias das variáveis métricas. Observou-se aumento das receitas municipais, tanto provenientes de transferências correntes, quanto de arrecadação própria, bem como dos gastos com saúdem, com destaque a oscilação dos gastos com a atenção básica. Inversamente, os gastos com educação apresentaram redução, com destaque a diminuição do ensino fundamental. As variáveis apresentaram correlações estatisticamente significativas entre si, exceto com relação a arrecadação própria e, após a análise de conglomerados, a região metropolitana se diferencia devido a discrepância dos valores em comparação as demais regiões. Foi encontrado diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre as variáveis das mesorregiões do estado, e entre os anos da análise. Devido a relevância dos gastos com saúde e educação no orçamento público, a identificação das oscilações durante o período da análise, corrobora com estudos acerca das funções alocativas do governo, o que permite mitigar as consequências de fatores exógenos nas finanças públicas.

Authors: Андрощук Аліна Геннадіївна , Малюга Олександр Сергійович
Published: April 2024

Статтю присвячено актуальній проблемі використанню штучного інтелекту (ШІ) в освіті, Розглянуто стан та тенденції розвитку ШІ, обгрунтовано важливість вивчення даної проблеми та необхідність подальших досліджень, зважаючи на її вплив на академічну доброчесність, якість та успішність навчання. Нова технологія швидко набуває популярності, широко використовується в навчальному процесі та наукових дослідженнях. Це потребує від освітян нагального переосмислення не лише системи оцінювання та контролю, а й всієї парадигми вищої освіти. Процеси глобалізації, цифрова трансформація економіки та суспільства, бурхливий розвиток технологій  ШІ вимагає швидкої адаптації багатьох сфер життя та діяльності, та, насамперед,  освітньої. Перед освітянами постає необхідність вкотре переглянути та критично оцінити підходи до навчання, зважити усі переваги та недоліки використання ШІ в освітньому процесі. У статті розглянуто існуючі підходи до використання ШІ та ChatGPT, зокрема, проаналізовано існуючий досвід зарубіжних та українських науковців та практиків, висвітлено основні міркування щодо подальшого розвитку та регулювання ШІ як на міжнародному, так і на національному рівнях. Досліджено існуючу нормативно-правову базу та ту, що активно формується, поточну практику розробки та упровадження програм ШІ в навчанні. Робиться висновок, що сектор вищої освіти повинен адаптувати свої підходи до навчання, викладання та оцінювання таким чином, щоб ШІ використовувався ефективно та належним чином, в межах академічної доброчесності. Для використання генеративного ШІ, вкрай необхідно встановити певні правила, або, як мінімум, запустити та підтримувати активну дискусію з цього питання. Це дозволить формувати в університетській спільноті етичні й громадянські компетенції, які допоможуть зменшити негативні й збільшити позитивні наслідки від використання технологій та інструментів ШІ.

Розширення потенційного словника студентів-філологів: способи семантизації потенційної лексики
Authors: Олейнікова Валерія
Published: April 2024

Стаття розкриває способи семантизації потенційної лексики для розширення потенційного словника студентів-філологів. Визначено, що до потенційного словника студентів-філологів відносяться нормативна, деривативна та ідіомативна групи незнайомих лексичних одиниць англійської мови, які можуть бути самостійно зрозумілими при утворенні знайомими граматичними способами або за допомогою контексту чи інтуїтивних відчуттів. Встановлено способи семантизації потенційного словника студентів, які включають: вичленування слів-когнатів, що полегшують розуміння тексту, та семантизація значення слів відповідно до характеру лексичних одиниць та особливостей їх виведення (групи простого, ускладненого та складного виведення). Розширення потенційного словника здійснюється на основі суфіксації, префіксації, парасинтетичного утворення, конверсії, інтернаціональних слів, багатозначності та фразеологічних одиниць. З’ясовано, що запровадження лексики має здійснюватися з урахуванням смислових зв’язків слова у синтагмі чи парадигмі для розкриття зовнішніх зав’язків. Внутрішні зв'язки та властивості слова можуть розкриватися за допомогою засобів іноземної (спосіб семантизації без перекладу) або рідної (перекладний спосіб семантизації) мови. Описано типи вправ на основі семантизації потенційного словника студентів-філологів (інформаційні, операційні та мотиваційні). Узагальнено етапи формування потенційного словникового запасу: 1) співвіднесення невивчених слів з освоєними вихідними базовими словами; 2) розпізнавання лексичних одиниць на основі систематизації їх значень та зіставлення граматичних форм; 3) встановлення труднощів розуміння потенційної лексики; 4) систематизування потенційної лексики на основі логічного висновку, мовної здогадки, контексту її застосування. Подальше дослідження проблеми розширення потенційного словникового запасу студентів-філологів може здійснюватися шляхом введення контекстуальної семантизації у систему вправ з формування потенційного словника.
Оцінна лексика як характеристика сучасного політичного дискурсу
Authors: Солодка Анжеліка , Мороз Тетяна
Published: April 2024

У статті досліджуються особливості фукціонування оцінних лексичних одиниць у комунікативному просторі політичного дискурсу. З’ясовано особливості політичного дискурсу як комунікативного явища, що включає екстралінгвістичні фактори: соціальний, культурно-історичний, ідеологічний, психологічний контекст, а також ряд комунікативно-прагматичних цільових настанов адресанту та взаємодій з адресатом. Встановлено, що політичний дискурс є різновидом інституційного дискурсу, що має характерні системоутворюючі ознаки та функції: сугестивну, персуазивну, інформативну та експресивну. Такі ознаки політичного дискурсу характеризуються градуальним характером. Описано особливості функціонування та специфіку реалізації оцінної лексики у сучасному політичному дискурсі. Виявлено, що ціннісна конотація мовних одиниць проявляється на усіх рівнях мовної системи.

Published: April 2024

The article analyses the dynamics, features and structure of foreign trade of the ICT sector of Ukraine in 2008-2022, focusing on the exports and imports of ICT goods and services. It has been determined that the commodity structure of Ukraine’s ICT sector exports is dominated by communication equipment and consumer electronics, and that Ukraine mainly exported ICT goods to European countries, in particular to Hungary, Russia, Moldova, and Austria. At the same time, Ukraine imported the most communication equipment, as well as computer and peripheral equipment, mainly from China and Vietnam. The study of dynamics showed a long-term trend of decreasing exports and increasing imports of ICT goods by Ukraine. Additionally, the trade balance and indices of international trade in ICT goods showed a low level of specialization of Ukraine in the production and export of ICT goods. Having examined the structure of Ukraine's ICT services exports, we found that computer services predominate. The main importers of ICT services from Ukraine include the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Malta, and other countries. In addition, it has been determined that technology companies from countries that import ICT services from Ukraine have gradually opened their own R&D centres in Ukraine. The study of the dynamics of foreign trade in ICT services during 2008-2022 showed a constant upward trend in the volume and share of ICT services in Ukraine's exports of services. In addition, the calculation of the trade balance and international trade indices for 2008-2022 showed a high level of specialization and competitiveness of ICT services in the Ukrainian economy. The article identifies the main factors and reasons that influenced the trends in foreign trade of the ICT sector of Ukraine. Finally, three possible scenarios for the development of Ukraine's ICT sector over the next few years were outlined.
