Comparative Study of Sampling Technique, Surface Type, and DNA Quantity in Touch DNA: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mawaddani Nala
Published: February 2025

Touch DNA analysis has become increasingly important in forensic investigations. This systematic review aims to compare the effectiveness of various sampling techniques on different surface types and examine the concentration of DNA obtained. Following PRISMA guidelines, relevant studies were identified through PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Data were extracted using NVivo and synthesized using a narrative approach, while study quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Swabbing, particularly double swabbing, was the most common technique. However, tape lifting was more effective on porous/uneven surfaces, and wet-vacuum sampling outperformed double swabbing on brick. DNA concentrations varied (0.002−0.707 ng/μL) based on surface type and sampling method. Findings provide guidance for forensic practitioners in selecting optimal sampling techniques, refining DNA extraction protocols, and interpreting results. Nevertheless, methodological heterogeneity and laboratory focus limit generalizability. This review offers a comprehensive understanding of factors influencing touch DNA analysis success. Future research should focus on larger, standardized studies, novel sampling techniques, and advanced DNA analysis methods to address challenges associated with degraded or limited touch DNA samples. Continued research is crucial for enhancing the reliability and applicability of touch DNA evidence in forensic investigations.

Child Protection Policy and Teachers’ Confidence in Navigating Ethical Dilemmas: Input for Teachers’ Welfare Program
Authors: Peralta Ramiro P. , Poja Dr. Djoana L.
Published: February 2025

This study investigated the level of awareness among teachers regarding the Child Protection Policy (CPP) and examines whether this awareness is influenced by various demographic factors, including age, gender, education level, current position, years of service, and involvement in school-based trials. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 80 teachers using a structured questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and t-Tests, revealed no significant differences in CPP awareness based on demographic variables. For instance, a t-Test for sex indicated no significant difference between male and female teachers’ awareness levels (t = -0.144, p = 0.886). Similarly, ANOVA results showed no significant differences in awareness across different lengths of service (F(5, 75) = 0.692, p = 0.631).

Additionally, a Pearson’s correlation coefficient test examining the relationship between teachers’ awareness of CPP and their confidence in navigating ethical dilemmas yielded a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.7004, which was not statistically significant (p = 0.2199). These findings suggest that teachers’ awareness levels are uniform across various demographic groups and not significantly correlated with their confidence in handling ethical issues.

The study identifies key challenges faced by teachers, such as limited resources and support systems (mean = 1.41), insufficient training (mean = 1.35), and lack of access to legal guidance (mean = 1.30). The results are interpreted through the lenses of Social Learning Theory (SLT) and Ethical Decision-Making Theory (EDT), highlighting the need for enhanced professional development and support systems.

Based on these findings, a Comprehensive Professional Education and Support Initiative (CPESI) is proposed, focusing on resource enhancement, legal literacy, and support systems to empower teachers in child protection roles. This initiative aims to improve legal literacy, provide ongoing support, and reduce stress related to legal uncertainties, ultimately fostering a safer educational environment.

Authors: Atan Ashikin , Abdul Razak Muhammad Syafiq Afham , Mohd Fadzil Suhaiza , Azmi Barkhis , Ruslan Rusila
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Reflective practice and critical thinking have become essential skills among nurses, as they face various challenges in their daily tasks. These skills help them to maintain high-quality nursing care in a dynamic healthcare system. In particular, reflective practice aids nurses to self-educate and stay motivated throughout the rough days in the hospital, whereas critical thinking among nurses improves their decision-making and problem-solving skills during those difficult situations. Thus, reflective practice and critical thinking among nurses are important for a safer healthcare environment and better overall quality of care. This study aimed to investigate reflective practice and critical thinking dispositions among nurses in Malaysia. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in one of the teaching hospitals in Malaysia using convenience sampling on 218 participants from different disciplines. The data was analysed using IBM SPSS Statistic 25. Results: Sociodemographic characteristics, including gender, education level, working experience, and working area, did not display statistically significant associations with either reflective practice or critical thinking disposition. Nonetheless, this study found that there was a moderate positive correlation between reflective practice and critical thinking disposition. Conclusion: The finding highlights that nurses engaging in reflective practice tend to exhibit a heightened inclination toward critical thinking. Thus, reflective practice should be further prioritised in the Malaysia nursing curriculum and professional development programmes by adopting appropriate and structured reflective practice frameworks to further cultivate critical thinking among nurses.
Using Text Mining and Predictive Analytics for Understanding Factors Affecting Behavior for Healthy Eating
Authors: Mazlan Nadia , Khong Kok Wei
Published: February 2025

Healthy eating behavior is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle, yet many individuals do not practice it despite the numerous benefits it offers. A clear understanding of the factors that influence consumers’ healthy eating behavior can provide valuable insights into the adoption and non-adoption of healthy eating practices. The present study leverages text mining methods to extract meaningful insights from online textual data regarding factors affecting healthy eating behavior. This study then integrates the Theory of Planned Behavior and Stimulus-Organism-Response theories to form a comprehensive structural model. This model examines the relationships of various factors influencing consumers’ healthy eating behavior using the Partial Least Squares Variance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (PLSSEM) method. The application of predictive analytics introduces a PLS-based predictive model that identifies the key factors influencing people’s healthy eating behavior. In terms of structural relationships, PLS-SEM reveals that Perceptions and Subjective Norms do not significantly influence healthy eating behavior, while Motivations and Perceived Behavioral Control are found to have a substantial impact on individuals' healthy eating behavior. Finally, the results of PLS Predict demonstrate that the PLS-based predictive model introduced in this study possesses strong predictive power, effectively forecasting future cases. This study provides a robust framework for understanding and predicting healthy eating behaviors, which can be instrumental in designing effective interventions.
A Hybrid CNN-Transformer Deep Learning Framework with Convolutional Block Attention Module for Enhanced Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Analysis
Authors: Pradeepan P  , Raj S Gladston , George K Juby
Published: February 2025

Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is crucial for the diagnosis of digestive diseases. It provides detailed visual information about the GI tract and helps identify abnormalities. However, the analysis of endoscopic images is challenging due to their complexity and variations caused by factors like lighting, texture and patient movement. These challenges highlight the need for advanced methodologies to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. This study introduces a novel deep learning framework integrating hybrid CNN-transformer models enhanced by a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM). The framework utilizes a pre-trained Vision Transformer (ViT) to capture global image features and a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract local features. CBAM refines the focus on relevant regions and enhances the interpretability and performance of the model. Ensemble learning was used to combine predictions from multiple models and improve the reliability and accuracy of the framework. The proposed model was evaluated on the publicly available Kvasir GI endoscopy dataset and demonstrated superior performance with an accuracy of 94.13% and a precision of 94.21%, outperforming existing methods. This framework offers a reliable and effective solution for analysing GI endoscopy images, potentially improving the accuracy and reliability of automated diagnosis. This can lead to early disease detection and improved patient outcomes.
Grey Swans and Investor Delusions in the Indian Stock Market
Authors: Safeeda KA  , Ganesh R
Published: February 2025

This study extensively investigated the investor delusion in the Indian securities market over ten years (2013-2023), focusing on the grey swan period of 2020-23 using Nifty50 index data. The study fully addresses overconfidence bias at many levels. It initially checks for market-level overconfidence bias and then confirms it across NIFTY50 Index sectors. The study analyses industry overconfidence levels to reveal behavioural bias variances across Indian economic sectors. The study sheds light on overconfidence bias in three phases: pre-COVID (2013-19), Grey swan phase of COVID-19 (2020-23), and 2020 alone when India suffered unprecedented pandemic instability. By studying each era separately, the research illuminates the complicated dynamics of overconfidence bias during different market conditions and pandemic upheavals. Over the period, industries such as services, metals and minerals, and FMCG exhibited overconfident behaviour. Examining the impact of the grey swan phase of COVID-19 revealed an overconfidence bias in the Indian stock market, while the challenging period of 2020 demonstrated a loss aversion bias. We also detected a tendency in trading behaviour to overreact to private information signals, regarded as a component of overconfidence bias. This research shows how psychological prejudices impair market effectiveness and have implications for investors, regulators, and lawmakers. Investors can make better judgments and avoid behavioral biases by understanding overconfidence bias and its effects. Lawmakers and regulators can utilize these findings to create investor protection and market efficiency measures.

В данной работе проведен анализ подходов к разработке программ платформенной экологизации действующих производств и их масштабированию в трансграничных регионах. С целью систематизации концептуальных подходов экологической трансформации связанных высокотехнологичных производств рассмотрена передовая литература в области устойчивой экономики и экологического брендирования производимой продукции. Посредством анализа реструктуризации производственных программ на базе действующих мощностей и методов управления «зеленым» капиталом определяются направления, позволяющие оптимизировать производственные программы активизации использования оборотного капитала за счет собственных и заемных источников. Практическая адаптация набора оценочных инструментов способствовала реализации данного исследования в виде систематизации факторов воздействия на экономический рост на уровне промышленных компаний. Делается вывод о том, что необходимо выстраивать общие технологические платформы, способствующие укреплению конкурентоспособности экономики стран-партнеров.

The paper analyzes approaches to developing programs for platform greening of existing production facilities and their scaling in transboundary regions. In order to systematize conceptual approaches to the environmental transformation of related high-tech industries, advanced literature in the field of sustainable economy and environmental branding of manufactured products is reviewed. By analyzing the restructuring of production programs based on existing capacities and methods of managing “green” capital, factors are systematized that allow optimizing production programs for activating the use of working capital through own and borrowed sources. The practical adaptation of the set of assessment tools contributed to the study in the form of systematization of factors influencing economic growth at the level of industrial companies. It is concluded that it is necessary to build common technological platforms that allow strengthening the competitiveness of the economies of partner countries.

В данной работе рассмотрены свойства банковского менеджмента, определяющие его качество. Цель исследования – выявить основные факторы качественного профессионального управления бизнес-процессами в банке. В то же время решается методологическая задача – определить верные подходы к самой оценке качества банковского менеджмента и ее структуре. Актуальной проблемой для коммерческих банков является разработка эффективной системы корпоративного управления, особенно учитывая меняющуюся конкурентную среду и нестабильные экономические условия, что негативно влияет на спрос на банковские услуги. Руководителям банка важно иметь четкую картину управления всеми бизнес-процессами в банке, прежде всего, это необходимо, чтобы контролировать финансовый результат. Особенностью банковского менеджмента выступает необходимость одновременного выполнения принципов корпоративной этики и принципов финансового менеджмента, тем самым сохраняя баланс интересов собственников (прибыль банка) и общества (социальная ответственность банка). Соответственно, нужно научиться соизмерять и оценивать усилия менеджеров, с одной стороны, и качество разработанных ими стратегий и бизнес-планов, с другой стороны. В работе представлена авторская методика оценки качества банковского менеджмента, использован рейтинговый метод, определены основные компоненты такой оценки.

The paper examines the properties of bank management that determine its quality. The purpose of the study is to identify the main factors of high-quality professional management of business processes in a bank. At the same time, a methodological task is solved - to determine the correct approaches to the very assessment of the quality of bank management and its structure. A pressing problem for commercial banks is the development of an effective corporate management system, especially given the changing competitive environment and unstable economic conditions, which negatively affects the demand for banking services. It is important for bank managers to have a clear picture of the management of all business processes in the bank; first of all, this is necessary to control the financial result. An important feature of bank management is the need for simultaneous implementation of the principles of corporate ethics and the principles of financial management, thereby maintaining a balance of interests of owners (bank profit) and society (social responsibility of the bank). Accordingly, it is necessary to learn to measure and evaluate the efforts of managers, on the one hand, and the quality of the strategies and business plans they have developed, on the other hand. The paper presents the author's methodology for assessing the quality of banking management, uses a rating method, and defines the main components of such an assessment.
