English devolution: How city-region mayors and industrial policy deliver local and national growth
Authors: Diamond Patrick , Shaw Jack , Westwood Andy
Published: December 2024

The newly elected UK Labour Government has acknowledged the importance of devolution and combined authorities to its industrial strategy and growth agenda. The initial signals appear promising. Ministers reiterate that powers and resources will be directed towards improving growth and the productive capacity of sub-regional economies as a central element of Labour’s growth ‘mission’. Yet there is considerable uncertainty about the long-term direction of the new government’s industrial policy, while the role of city-region mayors in industrial strategy is not yet well established. Despite the rhetoric about the role of mayors, there are tensions as well as scepticism in Whitehall about the capacity of combined authorities to deliver for local economies. Industrial policy is traditionally perceived as a national project with sectoral priorities and centrally driven interventions that can, in this case, achieve the ‘mission’ of making the UK the fastest growing G7 economy by the end of the Parliament. Historically, place has not been an integral feature of industrial policy. Nevertheless, it is clear that Whitehall lacks the capability to oversee industrial policy from the centre. There is a risk that in the laser-like focus on growth, combined authorities are treated as agents to be managed and UK spatial inequalities (already among the worst in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD] countries) get worse. In this paper, we make the case that devolved authorities and mayors should be the main agents of industrial policy, working in partnership with government. This is because the fruits of industrial policy are deeply rooted in communities in the form of employment and skills and if new more productive companies are to invest, existing clusters mature and further employment be created, that will require sub-regional commitment and leadership.
Cyberwashing: The disconnect between cyber security claims and real practices
Authors: Phair Nigel
Published: December 2024

Cyber security continues to be an issue for organisations, particularly those that collect and use personal information. The implementation of a robust risk assessment and detailed control framework which is focused on addressing key threats is critical to achieving cyber resilience. Some organisations are keen to espouse their cyber security credentials, often in an effort to satisfy regulators, assure stakeholders and placate consumers. Regardless of this rhetoric, however, some of these organisations still suffer from a cyberattack. What does it mean when these words are not put into practice?
Public sector condominium complexes for low-income dwellers : Social and environmental impacts in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Authors: Niriella N. Chandrasiri
Published: December 2024

The Colombo City Beautification Project is one of the most discussed social programmes in recent urban development policy. This beautification strategy initiated by the Sri Lankan Government in 2006–14 included urban development and urban housing in the project, which had become a major issue for the city of Colombo. In order to address this, the former government came up with a master plan to relocate over 68,000 underserved households to adequate housing units under the urban regeneration project. The inevitable outcome of the 2011 project was the forced relocation of low-income dwellers into new urban housing communities in Colombo.
New legal risks for banks related to climate change and possible mitigation strategies
Authors: Milkau Udo
Published: December 2024

Anthropogenic global warming and climate change-related risks are facts. While physical risk (which can cause damage and losses) and transition risks (due to disorderly policies and transition pathways) are generally understood, new types of risk for financial institutions are emerging in banking supervision and in so-called climate change litigation. An example of the former is the new ‘risk from misalignment’ of banks with European Union (EU) climate objectives, as recently discussed by the European Central Bank (ECB). This risk is caused by the requirement to align with EU climate change goals, which may not be compatible with the path a financial institution in a market economy might choose to adopt during the transition to cleaner energy. The second development is driven by climate activists suing banks in ‘strategic litigations’ based on the concept of ‘duty of care’, which may not require causality as a legal precondition. While these developments can be debated, they are likely to be the ‘new normal’ for financial institutions. It is proposed that these new types of climate change-related legal risks can be managed through a four-step mitigation approach as an iterative process of awareness, monitoring, active mitigation and observing emerging trends.

Authors: Rokhani Sri
Published: December 2024

The development of an effective and efficient employee recruitment and selection system is an important strategic step to support the success of the organization in achieving its goals. An optimized recruitment and selection process not only aims to get the best candidates, but also ensures proper allocation of resources, both in terms of time and cost. This research focuses on companies engaged in the medical field. After a deeper examination, several problems were found that made the employee recruitment and selection system that had been implemented in the company considered less than optimal in finding new workers. So the purpose of this research is to design a proposal for the development of a more effective and efficient employee recruitment and selection system. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research design with data collection through document study, semi-structured interviews with key informants, and field practice during the research. The result of this research is the formation of a proposed design of the company's system development. Starting from the establishment of a Service Level Agreement, Optimizing the company's social media, to the establishment of Standard Operating Procedures for recruitment and selection of new employees. This research concludes that the development of technology-based systems not only improves operational efficiency, but also provides added value in human resource management. Therefore, the implementation of this system is recommended as an innovative solution for organizations that want to compete in the digital era.

Authors: Jameel Ifrah , Khan Mariam , Jami Asma , Khan Asma Naeem , Hassan Zain Ul , Razzaq Mishaal
Published: December 2024

Background: Early-onset epilepsy disrupts brain development during critical childhood periods, impacting cognitive, motor, and behavioural functions. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of early-life epilepsy on paediatric neurological development and compare outcomes across pharmacological therapy, surgical interventions, and alternative therapies (e.g., ketogenic diets, neurostimulation). Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at different teaching hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan from October 2023 to October 2024. A total of 150 children (aged 0–5 years) with diagnosed epilepsy were enrolled. Patients were categorized into three groups: pharmacological therapy (n=70), surgical intervention (n=40), and alternative therapies (n=40). Standardized tools assessed cognitive (WPPSI), motor (PDMS-2), and behavioural outcomes (CBCL, SRS), along with seizure control and treatment side effects. Results: Surgical intervention demonstrated the best outcomes, with significant improvements in IQ (92.7 ± 8.9), motor skills (fine: 89.2 ± 9.5, gross: 88.0 ± 9.7), and social interaction (90.4 ± 8.5). Seizure freedom was achieved in 75% of surgical cases compared to 21.4% in pharmacological therapy and 45% in alternative therapies. Behavioural issues and side effects, such as attention deficits (40%) and drowsiness (50%), were most prevalent in the pharmacological group. Conclusion: Surgical interventions significantly improved developmental outcomes and seizure control in drug-resistant epilepsy cases. Early diagnosis and personalized, targeted treatments are essential to mitigate the neurodevelopmental impact and enhance the quality of life for affected children.

POLICIAIS MILITARES INFLUENCERS: A UTILIZAÇÃO DA FUNÇÃO PÚBLICA E DA IMAGEM DA CORPORAÇÃO NAS PLATAFORMAS DIGITAIS, TIKTOK, INSTAGRAM, PODCASTS E FACEBOOK
Authors: Correia Thiago Jean
Published: December 2024

Este estudo examina a atuação de policiais militares como influenciadores digitais nas redes sociais e os impactos dessa prática para a corporação e a sociedade. O fenômeno, impulsionado pelo aumento do uso de plataformas como TikTok, Instagram, Podcasts e Facebook, traz novos desafios e questionamentos sobre a exposição pública dos policiais e a associação entre a imagem pessoal e a institucional. Ao compartilhar seu cotidiano, realizar atividades de autopromoção ou manifestar opiniões políticas usando a farda, muitos policiais conseguem aproximar-se da comunidade e humanizar a imagem da corporação, o que pode melhorar a relação entre a polícia e a população, reduzindo estigmas e desconfiança. Contudo, o uso da farda para obter benefícios financeiros ou promover ideologias coloca em risco a imparcialidade, a neutralidade e a credibilidade da instituição, suscitando conflitos éticos e questionamentos públicos. A análise de casos específicos revela que, enquanto alguns policiais conseguem manter uma postura responsável e aproximar a polícia da sociedade de forma positiva, outros ultrapassam limites éticos, prejudicando a imagem da corporação. O estudo sugere a necessidade de regulamentações e diretrizes mais rigorosas, que orientem a atuação de policiais nas redes sociais, preservando a integridade institucional e equilibrando o direito individual de expressão com a responsabilidade profissional. Em um contexto de crescente digitalização, essas medidas se mostram essenciais para que a corporação possa fortalecer sua legitimidade e a confiança da sociedade em suas ações.

Authors: Indra Hadi Rapmartua Ompusunggu  , Immanuel
Published: December 2024

Background: Osteoporosis remains a significant public health concern, particularly among the aging population, where the prevalence of the condition and associated fractures continues to rise. The literature surrounding osteoporosis treatment and fracture outcomes has evolved considerably over the past decade, reflecting advancements in pharmacotherapy and the importance of patient-centered care. Literature Review: The foundational article by (Body et al., 2012) highlights the expanding pharmacological options available for osteoporosis management, stressing the complexities involved in treatment selection due to the limited comparative evidence. This article sets the stage for understanding the broader landscape of osteoporosis therapies, where both skeletal and extraskeletal effects of treatments must be considered for informed clinical decision-making. In examining the treatment landscape, (Fontalis et al., 2019) provides insights into the mechanisms of action of various agents, such as bisphosphonates and denosumab, and discusses emerging therapies that may enhance treatment efficacy. This article underscores the importance of understanding the long-term safety profiles of these medications, as adverse effects can significantly influence treatment outcomes. Moreover, (Lin et al., 2021) offers a comprehensive meta-analysis comparing the efficacy and safety of various osteoporosis treatments for postmenopausal women. This work is pivotal in guiding clinicians toward selecting appropriate interventions based on the relative effectiveness of available therapies, particularly in the context of fracture prevention. Conclusion: In conclusion, the literature collectively emphasizes a comprehensive approach to osteoporosis management that incorporates advancements in pharmacotherapy, addresses adherence challenges, and prioritizes patient-centered care. This multifaceted strategy is critical for optimizing fracture prevention and improving the overall quality of life for individuals with osteoporosis.

A insuficiência cardíaca é uma condição crônica caracterizada pela incapacidade do coração de bombear sangue de forma adequada, resultando em sintomas debilitantes e alta morbimortalidade. Este estudo revisa os avanços recentes no tratamento da insuficiência cardíaca, com foco no papel dos inibidores de SGLT2, originalmente desenvolvidos para o manejo do diabetes tipo 2, mas que têm demonstrado benefícios significativos na redução da mortalidade e hospitalizações em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca. A metodologia baseia-se em uma revisão narrativa da literatura, com consulta às bases de dados como PubMed, SciELO e Google Acadêmico, utilizando as palavras-chave: “Insuficiência cardíaca”; “Inibidores do SGLT2”; “Cardiologia” e “Falência Cardíaca”. A análise aborda mecanismos de ação dos inibidores de SGLT2, incluindo efeitos hemodinâmicos, metabólicos e renais, e revisa os principais ensaios clínicos, como os estudos EMPEROR e DAPA-HF, que consolidaram seu papel no manejo dessa condição. Os resultados destacam que esses fármacos não apenas melhoram os sintomas e a qualidade de vida, mas também reduzem significativamente eventos cardiovasculares e progressão da doença. Conclui-se que os inibidores de SGLT2 representam um avanço terapêutico promissor na insuficiência cardíaca, com benefícios que transcendem o controle glicêmico, reforçando a necessidade de sua ampla incorporação às diretrizes clínicas.

After all the efforts made by Petrobras and the Industry in implementing the Santos Basin Pre-salt Hub, we arrived at another challenge: keeping this oil province operating for longer than initially planned. Several studies and strategies are underway within the company to achieve this objective, whether through the implementation of Complementary Projects, or through major Revitalizations: in both cases, different architectures and technologies are seen today as having great application potential, showing a disruptive scenario in relation to conventional architectures: in these new scenarios, architectures and technologies such as: sharing of wells, whether through trunklines, PLEMs (Pipeline End Manifolds), SKIDs and Subsea Production Manifolds or injection, emerge with attractiveness; underwater hydraulic and electrical distribution; multiphase pumping systems, water-oil and gas separation, capture and injection of desulfated water, underwater multiphase measurement; and arrangements with long tie-backs. This work describes ongoing studies to make these projects viable, through the application of these technologies.
Preliminary Observations on the Water Supply of Dvin
Authors:   Yerevan State University, Petrosyan Hamlet , Abrahamyan Hamazasp ,   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Hovsepyan Ruben ,   Armenian-Russian Slavic University
Published: December 2024

One of the primary problems in the research of Dvin was and remains the water supply of the city: irrigation, economic and defense, as well as domestic and drinking water supply systems.

By combining written sources, archaeological data, aerial photos, satellite photos and field work related to the water supply of Dvin, an attempt was made in the article to clarify the main directions of the waterways going from Azat River to Dvin, to present the technical characteristics of the water networks found inside the city.

According to historical sources, orchards were located around the city and not far from it. We consider the evidence of rice and cotton cultivation to be important. Almost all authors attest to the river flowing near the walls of the city of Dvin and the water sources of the city. In some parts of the city walls and the citadel of Dvin, traces of the surrounding water ditch, which was once filled with the waters of the Azat River, are clearly visible. Parts of that system continue to be used for different purposes and to various degrees.

As a result of the excavations carried out in Dvin in 2022–2023, the sediment of the water supply ditch, which is 12 m wide and up to 60 cm thick, was also excavated and examined. According to stratigraphy, the archaeological layer can be dated to the 9th century.

The network of water pipes of the city is distributed in the area of about 120 hectares. Many distributors, filters, elbows and other structures and artifacts related to water supply systems were also found during the archaeological excavations.
History of the Study of Submerged Monuments of Armenia According to the Archival Documents of the Protection Service
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Grigoryan Avetis
Published: December 2024

Reservoirs are places of water accumulation, which are built on rivers, in canyons, by building dams in the narrowest part of their width. The flowing waters are collected in the reservoir through the dam and used for agricultural, energy and other purposes. The tradition of building reservoirs (dams) in Armenia and the Near Eastern region dates back to prehistoric times, since the Bronze-Iron Ages, reaching its maximum volume and quantity in the second half of the 20th century. Although reservoirs are considered to be important tools of economic development, they have a negative impact on immovable historical and cultural monuments located in the submerged zone, causing their partial or complete destruction.

The funds of the Service for Protection of Historical Environment and Historical-Cultural Museum-Reserves (Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the RA) store remarkable documents, measurements and photographs of the 1960–1980s on the archaeological monuments located in the submerged zone of the Akhuryan, Aparan, Berkaber, Tolors reservoirs and the unfinished Kaps reservoir, their study and history of protection.

Like all over the world, Armenia has great experience in organizing the protection of monuments located in submerged zones. As studies show, this experiment was not always successful also in Armenia, as a result of which many important historical monuments, such as the medieval bridge of Akhuryan were lost.
Irrigation Systems of Terraces in Armenian Culture
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Gabrielyan Rafik
Published: December 2024

Irrigation systems of terraces are one of the important phenomena of Armenian culture. As a result of the flow of water, some soil erosion was taking place. At the same time, without water, the cultivation of terraced lands would be ineffective. Over time, the irrigation systems of terraces have acquired unique solutions adapted to the local landscape. In this article an attempt is made to present the irrigation systems of the terraces on the basis of materials related to different historical and ethnographic regions and individual settlements of Armenia. An important part of them are canals built on slopes, norias, reservoirs constructed on a steep terrain, etc. Water management within the directly irrigated plot is realised in two ways. In the first case, all terraces are irrigated from the main stream, and in the second case, water is transferred from one terrace to another.
हिंदी सिनेमा में तंत्रवाद्यों का योगदान
Authors: आभा श्री  , प्रो . संध्या रानी शाक्य
Published: December 2024

भारतीय सिनेमा, कला और संस्कृति का अद्भुत मेल है, जिसकी शुरुआत 1913 में दादा साहब फाल्के की फिल्म "राजा हरिश्चंद्र" से हुई। भारतीय फिल्मों का सबसे खास हिस्सा उनका संगीत है, जो न केवल मनोरंजन करता है बल्कि दर्शकों को भावनात्मक रूप से जोड़ने में भी मदद करता है। भारतीय शास्त्रीय संगीत, जैसे हिंदुस्तानी और कर्नाटक संगीत, ने फिल्मी गानों की नींव रखी और इन्हें गहराई और अलग पहचान दी। फिल्मी संगीत में तंत्र वाद्यों, जैसे सितार, सरोद, सारंगी, संतूर और गिटार का बड़ा योगदान है। इन वाद्यों ने न केवल गानों को खूबसूरत बनाया, बल्कि फिल्मों की भावनाओं को भी उभारा। "मुगल-ए-आज़म", "पाकीज़ा" और "कश्मीर की कली" जैसी फिल्मों में इन वाद्यों का बेहतरीन इस्तेमाल हुआ। सारंगी और सरोद जैसे वाद्यों ने प्रेम, उदासी और आध्यात्मिकता जैसी भावनाओं को गहराई से व्यक्त किया। वहीं, संतूर का उपयोग पारंपरिक और पहाड़ी धुनों में किया गया, जिससे फिल्मों में भारतीयता झलकी। तंत्र वाद्य सिर्फ गानों में ही नहीं, बल्कि बैकग्राउंड संगीत में भी अहम भूमिका निभाते हैं। इनके इस्तेमाल से दृश्यों की भावनात्मक गहराई बढ़ती है। उदाहरण के लिए, रोमांटिक और भावुक दृश्यों में सितार और सारंगी की ध्वनि दर्शकों पर गहरा प्रभाव छोड़ती है। इन वाद्यों की खासियत यह है कि ये भारतीय फिल्मों की सांस्कृतिक पहचान को मजबूत करते हैं। तंत्र वाद्य हमारी परंपरा और सांस्कृतिक धरोहर का हिस्सा हैं, और इनका इस्तेमाल फिल्मों को और भी खास बनाता है।
इस प्रकार, तंत्र वाद्य भारतीय सिनेमा का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हैं। इन्होंने सिर्फ संगीत को समृद्ध नहीं किया, बल्कि फिल्मों की कहानी और भावनाओं को भी गहराई दी है। तंत्र वाद्यों के बिना भारतीय सिनेमा अधूरा लगता है। ये वाद्य दर्शकों को गानों और दृश्यों से जोड़ने में मदद करते हैं और भारतीय सिनेमा को एक खास पहचान देते हैं।

Ver no es suficiente Homenaje a tres voces a Huillet-Straub
Authors: Ruiz Martínez Natalia , Ulrich Straub Barbara , Zunzunegui Santos
Published: December 2024

Las páginas a tres voces que componen este homenaje nacen de una coincidencia: a) la aparición en abril de 2024, de un libro que ofrecía a los lectores de lengua española un volumen que, a la manera de una caja de herramientas, intentaba facilitar el instrumental de acceso a una de las obras más coherentes, audaces y densas que se ha producido en el territorio del cine: los filmes de Jean-Marie Straub y Danièle Huillet y b) la conferencia pronunciada por la compañera del cineasta que, apenas un mes antes, venía a iluminar dónde reside el impulso inicial del que ha brotado el cine de Straub-Huillet, como parte de una cultura que contribuye a hacer posible la vida común de los hombres, que sea una respuesta digna a lo que el joven filósofo (Karl Marx) denominó el “cuerpo inorgánico del hombre”, eso que llamamos naturaleza y de cuya pervivencia depende la nuestra como especie. Los textos así reunidos aluden tanto a una obra global de largo aliento como a pequeños (grandes) motivos formadores que sirven de detonadores de un cine que no busca; parafraseando a Wallace Stevens, “ni consolar, ni santificar, solo proponer”.

La paràbola del fill pròdig en la literatura catalana: el segle xx
Authors: Malé Pegueroles Jordi
Published: December 2024

Aquest treball és una part, la que correspon al segle xx, d’un estudi més extens l’objectiu del qual és estudiar les diferents formes en què la paràbola del fill pròdig ha estat adaptada en la literatura catalana. Al llarg del segle passat, la història narrada a l’evangeli de sant Lluc (15, 11-32) s’ha reescrit en diversos gèneres literaris, sobretot poesia i teatre, i el seu argument s’ha transformat, reduït o ampliat, i ha perdut la finalitat didàctica i moral que havia tingut segles enrere. A la postguerra, escriptors com Carles Riba i Jaume Vidal Alcover, van utilitzar aquest personatge per expressar una aventura personal i interior.
Novelas intervenidas por la censura. Las versiones de Últimas tardes con Teresa, de Juan Marsé
Authors: Larraz Elorriaga Fernando
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo explica y valora las variaciones entre dos versiones el texto de la novela Últimas tardes con Teresa, de Juan Marsé: la que el autor entregó como definitiva al Premio Biblioteca Breve en 1965 y la que finalmente fue publicada, después de la intervención de la censura editorial, un año después. En nuestro análisis nos servimos del ejemplar manuscrito a máquina que se conserva en el expediente de censura del Archivo General de la Administración. El cotejo de ambas versiones y el resto de la documentación incluida en el expediente nos permiten valorar críticamente el alcance de la intervención de la censura franquista sobre las letras españolas y las interferencias que este hecho tuvo sobre la interpretación y la recepción de los textos.
Legal aspects of classification of agricultural raw materials and products by environmental levels in the field of organic products circulation
Authors: Vorontsova Oksana Viktorovna , Korshik Tatyana   Sergeevna , Mastihina Anastasiya  Leonidovna
Published: December 2024

The article examines the regulatory norms governing the production of organic products through the prism of categorical analysis, taking into account the synergy of the main indicators of environmental friendliness, agricultural raw materials and finished food products developed during the analysis of existing laws and standards related to organic farming, including international and national regulations, rules for certification of organic products, requirements for the use of fertilizers and pesticides. The authors have attempted to identify and classify various aspects of levels of environmental friendliness of products and raw materials, taking into account such factors as conservation of biodiversity, careful use of resources, and reduction of anthropogenic impact on soil and reservoirs. The impact of several key consumer factors on trust in organic products was considered, such as access to complete and reliable product information, an informed and rational approach to purchasing and using goods, the desire to support local producers and motivation to purchase locally produced goods. In turn, consumer trust and sustained commitment should be ensured by regulatory measures to identify and support bona fide organic producers. For example, such as certification of organic production conducted by independent organizations, campaigns to raise awareness of the differences between organic products and responsible organizations, the allocation of grants and subsidies to create reliable digital sources of information and control within the framework of an evolving product traceability system. Based on the analysis, the authors made recommendations for improving the regulatory framework governing the processes of production, turnover and processing of organic products according to the degree of influence on the possibility of classifying a product to a certain level of environmental friendliness according to five main indicators: raw materials, production, ingredients, energy and efficiency. This approach can serve as a basis for the development of regulatory requirements for food products, in turn, it will help create a more sustainable market for processed food products that meets the needs and expectations of modern consumers.
A folk tale as a way of developing ideas about time and space as a subsystem of a holistic picture of the world of preschoolers
Authors: Bochkina Elena Valeryevna
Published: December 2024

The subject of the study is the concepts of time and space as a subsystem of a holistic picture of the world of preschoolers. The object of the study is the level of development of ideas about time and space as a subsystem of a holistic picture of the world of preschoolers. The purpose of the research is to develop ideas about time and space as a subsystem of a holistic picture of the world using fairy tales. This article is devoted to the study of the influence of purposeful activities based on fairy tales on the development of ideas about time and space as a subsystem of a holistic picture of the world. The first part of the article analyzes the psychological, pedagogical, philosophical and medical literature devoted to the problem of research. In the process of theoretical analysis, it was revealed that the picture of the world is considered as an integral pedagogical category, which reflects the degree of understanding of the world and the events taking place in it at the level of systematization and generalization of knowledge previously acquired by a person. The concepts of time and space are a subsystem of a holistic picture of the world. These ideas are among the first to develop in a child. For children of early and preschool age these ideas are unconscious. In order for them to become conscious, it is necessary to carry out their purposeful development. Based on the theoretical analysis, we have identified the methodological basis of our research and compiled its design. A complex of formative classes based on fairy tales was conducted with children of senior preschool age during one school year. The result of the conducted formative classes was the revealed effectiveness of formative classes in the experimental group. Children have become better able to navigate in time intervals and determine spatial directions. Ideas about the world have expanded. The ability to set and solve search tasks has appeared. This is justified by the fact that children from the experimental group increased the level of development of ideas about time and space as a subsystem of a holistic picture of the world by 30% and 25%, while in the control group these indicators increased by 5% and 4%, which is a minor change.

Chronic pain is a prevalent and debilitating condition whose neural mechanisms are incompletely understood. An imbalance of cerebral excitation and inhibition (E/I), particularly in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), is believed to represent a crucial mechanism in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Thus, identifying a non-invasive, scalable marker of E/I could provide valuable insights into the neural mechanisms of chronic pain and aid in developing clinically useful biomarkers. Recently, the aperiodic component of the electroencephalography (EEG) power spectrum has been proposed to represent a non-invasive proxy for E/I. We, therefore, assessed the aperiodic component in the mPFC of resting-state EEG recordings in 149 people with chronic pain and 115 healthy participants. We found robust evidence against differences in the aperiodic component in the mPFC between people with chronic pain and healthy participants, and no correlation between the aperiodic component and pain intensity. These findings were consistent across different subtypes of chronic pain and were similarly found in a whole-brain analysis. Their robustness was supported by preregistration and multiverse analyses across many different methodological choices. Together, our results suggest that the EEG aperiodic component does not differentiate between people with chronic pain and healthy individuals. These findings and the rigorous methodological approach can guide future studies investigating non-invasive, scalable markers of cerebral dysfunction in people with chronic pain and beyond.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common causes of mortality among women. However, early detection of BC can effectively improve the treatment outcomes. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems can be utilized clinical specialists for accurate diagnosis of BC in its early stages. Due to their superior classification performance, deep learning (DL) methods have been extensively used in CAD systems. The classification accuracy of a DL model mainly depends on the parameters, such as weights and biases, of the deep neural network (DNN), which are optimized during the training phase. The training of DL models has been carried out by gradient-based techniques, e.g., stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM) and adaptive momentum estimation (ADAM), and metaheuristic techniques, e.g., genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). However, these techniques suffer from frequent stagnation in local optima due to the huge search space, which can lead to sub-optimal DL performance. This article proposes a hybrid optimization algorithm, based on incorporating a simple gradient search mechanism into a metaheuristic technique, multi-verse optimizer (MVO), to facilitate the search for global optimal solution in the high-dimensional search space of DL models. A DL model for BC diagnosis is developed based on a three-hidden-layer DNN whose parameters are optimized using the proposed hybrid optimizer. Experimental analysis is carried out on the Wisconsin breast cancer dataset (WBCD) and the Wisconsin Diagnosis Breast Cancer (WDBC) dataset, each is divided into 70% for training and 30% for testing. For comparison reasons, similar DL models trained using various optimizers, including gradient-based, metaheuristic, and recently-proposed hybrid optimization algorithms, are also analyzed. The results demonstrate the superior performance of our optimizer in terms of attaining the most accurate DL model in the fastest convergence rate. The proposed model achieves outstanding metrics, including accuracy at 93.5%, precision at 88.06%, specificity at 93.06%, sensitivity at 95.64%, F1 score at 91.67%, and Matthew’s correlation coefficient (MCC) at 87.14% on WBCD, and accuracy at 96.73%, precision at 93.38%, specificity at 95.83%, sensitivity at 98.25%, F1 score at 95.75%, and MCC at 93.18% on WDBC, in just six epochs. This research significantly contributes to advancing CAD systems for BC, emphasizing the potential benefits of the proposed optimizer in medical classification domains.

Crowd management refers to the management and control of masses at specific locations. A Hajj gathering is an example. Hajj is the biggest gathering of Muslims worldwide. Over two million Muslims from all over the globe come annually to Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Authorities of Saudi Arabia strive to provide comfortable comprehensive services to pilgrims using the latest modern technologies. Recent studies have focused on camera scenes and live streaming to assess the count and monitor the behavior of the crowd. However, the opinions of the pilgrims and their feelings about their experience of Hajj are not well known, and the data on social media (SM) is limited. This paper provides a combination of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms for sentiment analysis of pilgrims using a novel and specialized dataset, namely Catering-Hajj. The model is based on four CNN layers for local feature extraction after the One-Hot Encoder, and one LSTM layer to maintain long-term dependencies. The generated feature maps are passed to the SoftMax layer to classify final outputs. The proposed model is applied to a real case study of issues related to pre-prepared food at Hajj 1442. Started with collecting the dataset, extracting target attitudes, annotating the data correctly, and analyzing the positive, negative, and neutral attitudes of the pilgrims to this event. Our model is compared with a set of Machine Learning (ML) models including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF), as well as CNN and LSTM models. The experimental results show that SVM, RF, and LSTM achieve the same rate of roughly 81%. LR and CNN achieve 79%, and DT achieves 71%. The proposed model outperforms other classifiers on our dataset by 92%.

Globally, students with visual disabilities face significant challenges in accessing and learning mathematics, particularly when solving mathematical equations and expressions. These challenges result from the inherent complexity and abstract nature of mathematical content. Additionally, braille codes are inconsistent across regions, collaborative math platforms are unavailable, and accessible mathematics literature is scarce. Assistive technologies, artificial intelligence, and educational resources have improved accessibility for students with visual disabilities. However, these students still face significant challenges when navigating, exploring, and solving mathematical equations and expressions. These challenges contribute underrepresentation of these students in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel solution to assist students with visual disabilities in learning mathematical expressions interactively with flexible navigation. This study proposes an algorithmic approach for converting input mathematical expressions into content MathML expressions, parsing those expressions into semantic elements, and then providing a structural overview of these expressions. Moreover, interactive keyboard keys were designed to provide flexible navigation through speech feedback, so that users can interact more effectively with expressions. Python libraries were utilized to implement the proposed solution. An empirical evaluation was conducted by 15 instructors and 94 students with visual disabilities and validated by Cronbach’s alpha. Results indicate that the proposed solution improved mathematics accessibility and learning. This study lays a foundation for future research on the integration of advanced technologies in special education.

This study examines the impact of two types of environmental enrichment on the growth of the Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa), a clonal fish species. We investigated the effects of two welfare-related enrichment factors: physical enrichment (presence of a halfpipe PVC and gravel substrate, E) and social enrichment (presence of visible neighbor fish, N). Fish were divided into four treatment groups: (1) both physical and social enrichment (EN), (2) no physical enrichment but social enrichment (nEN), (3) physical enrichment without social enrichment (EnN,), and (4) no enrichment (nEnN). Results showed that individuals, which received both types of enrichment, exhibited faster growth rates and lower early life mortality compared to the other groups, indicating improved health and welfare. However, this initial advantage did not persist into adulthood, suggesting that the benefits of enrichment may be stage specific. These findings highlight the importance of environmental factors in promoting welfare in a particular species, especially during early developmental stages. This study may have implications for early life-stage fish research indicating that some environmental factors may play a role in enhancing growth, reproductive competence, and reduced mortality.
