Credit Card Fraud Detection Using NeuroStack Network and Risk-Based Personalized recommendation with CreditRecHub
Authors: AlEnizi Abdullah
Published: November 2024

The industrial sector suffers annual losses of billions of euros due to Credit card fraud, which has increased with the growth of online communication channels. Cybercriminals are continuously coming up with new ways to use the network for illegal activities. Credit risk prediction methods frequently encounter issues including inconsistent data distribution and challenging data preprocessing. High-precision models are often accompanied by low model efficiency. This study presents a comprehensive framework for credit card fraud detection and personalized recommendation systems. A novel NeuroStack Network is proposed with the assistance acquired from deep learning for credit card fraud detection (CCFD). This model encapsulates the autoencoder, LSTM with attention, and an ensemble of XGBoost and SVM. In terms of risk assessment, we propose a Risk Scoring Model utilizing a Random Forest algorithm combined with Dynamic Risk Adjustment through Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) integrated with a Scaled Dot-Product Attention Mechanism, allowing for adaptive and responsive fraud detection capabilities.The Personalized Recommendation system referred as CreditRecHub is designed by using the adaptive recommendation engine and risk-based recommendation system. The Behavioral Profiling process is optimized using the Hybrid Grey Whale Optimization Algorithm (HGWOA) to enhance the accuracy of user behavior analysis. The accuracy recorded of two datasets such as 0.98843 and 0.99976 provided an accurate result of the intrusion detection.

Objective
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint disease. Currently, OA treatment is limited to controlling symptoms. Our previous study showed that stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) delayed the progression of OA to a certain extent. The aim of this study was to explore the specific mechanism of SDF-1 in OA.
Materials and methods
OA chondrocytes and a collagen-induced osteoarthritis (CIOA) mouse model were used as in vitro and in vivo models, respectively. SDF-1 was used to treat OA in vitro and in vivo. To explore the mechanism of SDF-1 in OA treatment, we pretreated chondrocytes with a Sirt 3 inhibitor and assessed mitochondrial function and then analysed related indicators of cartilage anabolic and cartilage metabolism.
Results
SOD2 and PGC 1α levels were significantly lower in OA chondrocytes and the cartilage of CIOA model mice than in normal chondrocytes, and mitochondrial dysfunction occurred in OA. After treating OA chondrocytes and CIOA model mice with exogenous SDF-1, mitochondrial dysfunction and abnormal biomarkers of OA normalized. The pretreatment of OA chondrocytes with a Sirt 3 inhibitor or mitochondrial function inhibitor before SDF-1 exposure reversed these changes.
Conclusions
SDF-1 can alleviate OA by resolving mitochondrial dysfunction through the activation of the Sirt3/PGC-1α signalling pathway, and therefore, SDF-1 may be a good candidate as a new treatment for OA.

Relating satellite NO2 tropospheric columns to near-surface concentrations: implications from ground-based MAX-DOAS NO2 vertical profile observations
Authors: Chang Bowen , Liu Haoran , Zhang Chengxin , Xing Chengzhi , Tan Wei , Liu Cheng
Published: November 2024

Given the significant environmental and health risks associated with near-surface nitrogen dioxide (NO2), machine learning is frequently employed to estimate near-surface NO2 concentrations (SNO2) from satellite-derived tropospheric NO2 column densities (CNO2). However, data-driven methods often face challenges in explaining the complex relationships between these variables. In this study, the correlation between CNO2 and SNO2 is examined using vertical profile observations from China’s MAX-DOAS network. Cloud cover and air convection substantially weaken (R = -0.68) and strengthen (R = 0.71) the CNO2-SNO2 correlation, respectively. Meteorological factors are shown to predominantly influence the CNO2-SNO2 correlation (R2 = 0.58), with correlation levels 31% higher in northern regions compared to the southwest. Additionally, anthropogenic emissions impact SNO2, while topographical features shape regional climate patterns. Observations at the Chongqing site reveal notable contrasts and lags in daily CNO2 and SNO2 fluctuations due to complex interactions among adverse meteorology, severe emissions, and basin topography. This study enhances understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics and influencing mechanisms of CNO2 and SNO2, supporting improved air quality assessments and pollution exposure evaluations.

Fabrication of through holes can reduce the electrode tortuosity of thick electrodes. However, traditional through hole preparation methods are usually complex and incompatible with calendaring. In particular, the excessive loss introduced by through holes reduces the space utilization rate and offsets the increase in energy density. Here, an array of high-density micro-holes is fabricated by temporally shaped ultraviolet femtosecond laser. Using this technique, we achieve a maximum aspect ratio of 47 (6 µm in diameter) and ensure minimal material loss (< 1%) on thick electrodes with thicknesses of 280 µm. The tortuosity of the electrode is significantly reduced by nearly half, thereby boosting the gravimetric energy density of batteries by 9.32–17.26%, or increase the power density by 100 to 400%, and double the lifetime. This work demonstrates a simple approach for fabricating low-tortuosity electrodes that substantially improve power density, energy density and lifetime of batteries.

Published: November 2024

Regulatory T cells control autoimmune diseases (AID). Yet, much less is known about the functions of evolutionarily much older Foxp3 + human regulatory γδT cells (γδTregs). Here, we have explored these functions in one of the most common human AID, the hair loss disorder, alopecia areata (AA). Lesional AA skin showed significantly more γδTreg than non-lesional or healthy skin. Next, we investigated how human γδTregs impact on experimentally induced AA in human scalp skin xenotransplants on SCID/beige mice. PBMC-derived autologous γδTregs were pre-activated with IL-2, IL-15, and zoledronate in vitro and injected intradermally into human scalp xenografts before or after AA induction by autologous CD8 + T cells in vivo. γδTreg not only prevented the development of AA lesions, but also promoted hair regrowth in established AA lesions in the xenotransplants, accompanied by a reduced perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate and restoration of hair follicle (HF) immune privilege (IP) . We then co-cultured γδTregs with organ-cultured, stressed (MICA-overexpressing) human scalp HFs in the presence/absence of pathogenic CD8+/NKG2D + T cells that induce HF IP collapse by secreting interferon-g, all under autologous conditions. Under these ex vivo conditions, γδTregs mitigated HF IP collapse induced by CD8 + T cells, primarily through IL-10 and TGF-β1 secretion, enhanced HF keratinocyte proliferation and reduced their apoptosis while preventing premature catagen induction (= AA hallmarks). These findings in a model human AID introduce human γδTregs as important regulatory lymphocytes that invite novel cell-based therapies in CD8 + T cell-dependent AIDs characterized by IP collapse such as AA.
Cerebrospinal fluid metabolites and their association with female reproductive disorders: Insights from Mendelian randomization
Authors: Zhou Yining , Wang Xiaoqiang , Ding Zhitong , Wang Ya , Song Weiwei
Published: November 2024

Background
Recently, the fertility rate has been declining. This is because of a drop in the desire for fertility among young people and the incidence of various degrees of reproductive dysfunction. Theories of 'kidney-generating marrow' and 'kidney-governing reproduction' exist in traditional Chinese medicine, and modern science has confirmed the existence of the 'hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis' as a regulatory mechanism. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a naturally occurring fluid in the brain, has the potential to reflect the physiological and pathological states of the brain. Furthermore, its metabolites may play a crucial role in the early detection of ovarian diseases. In this study, the Mendelian randomization (MR) method was used to investigate the potential influence of CSF metabolites on four prevalent ovarian diseases affecting women of childbearing age and their relationship with female infertility. This analysis aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms, thereby providing a foundation for future research.
Method
The most recent genome-wide association study was used to synthesize the statistical data, and a comprehensive two-sample MR analysis was used to assess the causal relationship between 399 CSF metabolites and four ovarian-related diseases (including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian insufficiency, benign ovarian tumors, and salpingitis), as well as female infertility. The two-sample MR analysis was conducted using the inverse-variance weighted method as the primary approach and complemented by pleiotropic and heterogeneity tests. To ensure the reliability of the findings, a leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was performed. Finally, the robustness of the results was validated through a reverse MR analysis.
Results
Following a comprehensive and systematic analysis, it was determined that PCOS was associated with four distinct metabolites, including serine. Similarly, ovarian insufficiency was linked to four metabolites, including O-sulfo-L-tyrosine. Additionally, benign ovarian tumors were associated with 15 metabolites. The levels of X-23590 (odds ratio [OR] = 0.114) and histidine (OR = 0.1735) were significantly associated with a reduced occurrence of benign ovarian tumors. While ovarian-related inflammation was associated with five metabolites, including lactate, comparative analysis confirmed that lactate and glycerophosphoinositol levels can inhibit the occurrence of infertility. All diseases exhibited no reverse relationship with CSF metabolites.
Conclusion
A comprehensive exploration of the causal relationship between CSF metabolites and common ovarian diseases, as well as infertility in women of childbearing age, may enhance our understanding of their potential impact on female reproductive health. This may provide new ideas for diagnosing and treating female reproductive health.

Published: November 2024

In this research a new type of 3D scaffolds with different weight fraction of nanoparticles (HA) (1, 3 and 5 wt.%) and synthesized Poly(glycerol-sebacic Itaconic acid) (PGSIt) coated by chitosan/PVA solution were prepared. Importance analysis were selected and evaluated characters of prepared scaffolds. FTIR analysis showed that all of bonds and interaction between all of composites were proven. Microscopic structures showed that good three-dimensional structures can be seen in all samples and the presence of nanoparticles has created better three-dimensional structures. The morphology of the coated samples showed that the hydrophilic polymers was well coated on the samples. The distribution of nanoparticles inside the nanocomposite samples was investigated and it was observed that there is a good distribution of nanoparticles inside the samples. The viscoelastic properties of the samples showed that the glass transition temperature for the pure sample was 31.54 oC, which reached about 45.89 oC with the presence of 5% wt.%. Also, the storage modulus for the sample with 3 wt.% of nanoparticles was higher than other samples. Examining the compressive mechanical properties under cyclic conditions showed that the samples showed good reversibility and the amount of hysteresis increased for sample S3, but sample S4 showed good conditions. Alizarin red test showed that the polymer coating on the samples increased the formation of calcium particles. Also, the degree of rusting of the cell nucleus also showed that the presence of cells on the coated scaffolds increased. On the other hand, the role of nanoparticles in this formation of suitable conditions is not without reason. The hydrocatalytic degradation test showed that the sample with more particles has a greater weight loss, and as a result of the coating, this reduction rate has shown a strong increase. Examining the morphology of the surface of the destroyed samples has also shown the confirmation of the surface destruction. Examining the mechanical properties test of undamaged and damaged samples showed that due to the damage of the samples, the compressive mechanical properties of the samples are reduced by 30% to 50% during the time. In this condition, the maximum compressive stress tolerated in sample 2 is 73 kPa in normal conditions, which after destruction in the same sample has reached 42 kPa. This mechanical behavior confirms that the mechanism of destruction in these samples often occurs from the surface and because the destruction in the bulk has occurred less, these destroyed samples have shown good mechanical properties.
Effect of marginal cement space thickness and type of zirconia on the marginal and internal fit of 3-unit monolithic fixed dental prosthesis: An in vitro study
Authors: Mosa Mutaz Omran , Ibraheem Adel Farhan , Hussein Hashim Mueen
Published: November 2024

Objective
To determine the effect of different marginal cement space thicknesses on the marginal adaptation and internal fitness of three units of fixed zirconia bridges.
Methods and materials:
This study utilized a dentiform maxillary first premolar and first molar in vitro, duplicated into 32 aluminium master models, to fabricate a 3-unit fixed partial zirconia bridge using CNC milling machines. The specimen was divided according to marginal cement space and type of zirconia into four Groups, each containing eight samples. Group A: 25 µm marginal cement space with single layer zirconia, Group B: 25 µm marginal gap with multilayer zirconia, Group C: 0 um marginal gap single layer zirconia, Group D: 0 µm marginal gap with multilayer zirconia. Each zirconia bridge's marginal adaptation and internal fitness are evaluated using the replica technique. Replicas were observed under a digital microscope after being sectioned mesiodistally and buccolingually. Thirty-two measurements for each abutment replica were performed at four different points (eight marginal, eight axial, eight chamfer, and eight occlusal). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and the Tukey HSD test.
Results
Single-layer zirconia showed better marginal adaption and internal fitness compared to multilayer zirconia. A 25 µm cement spacing reduces the thickness of the cement film compared to a 0 µm space, as observed across all measured areas.
Conclusion
The marginal cement space thickness affects the FPD fitness, and the single layer (HT KATANA ™) zirconia shows better fitness than the multilayer (UTML KATANA ™).

Authors: Hussam Eslam , Almetwally Ehab M.
Published: November 2024

This paper introduces a statistical analysis of progressive stress accelerated life test samples. The cumulative exposure model was used to produce progressive stress samples. Many estimation methods were used to estimate the distribution's parameters, including classical and Bayesian methods. We used the Metropolis Hasting Algorithm to generate samples because the posterior is not from well-known distribution . The parameters' asymptotic and bootstrap confidence intervals (CIs) are estimated; at last, we estimated the reliability function of the distribution using the estimated parameters. A realdata set is analyzed to clarify the methods proposed in this paper. A practical application was applied as a lifetime example to clarify the importance of the work. Finally, some interesting conclusions are drawn.

Published: November 2024

The mechanism of electrical conductivity of GaSe thin film obtained the thermal evaporation method was given in the presented work. The concentration of free charge carriers, the length of the mean free path of charge carriers, the distance from the trap to the potential barrier, etc. were calculated as a result of the study of p-GaSe thin films in the temperature range of 100–300 K. It was found that the current flow mechanism in GaSe thin films partially changes depending on the evaporation temperature. The crystallization centers formed due to the restoration of broken Ga-Se bonds as a result of the arrangement of defects during thermal evaporation play a key role in the charge transport mechanism in the layers.

Published: November 2024

Background: Early sexual initiation among female youth in Tanzania presents a significant public health concern, as it is associated with increased risks of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and adverse socio-economic consequences.​ This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of early sexual initiation among female youth in Tanzania.
Methods: We used data from the 2022 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey, which was conducted between February 24 and July 21, 2022. The sampling frame was stratified by geographic region and urban/rural areas, using a two-stage sampling method that selected primary sampling units based on census enumeration areas, followed by household selection using probability systematic sampling. Data management and analysis were performed using STATA version 18.5, descriptive statistics and a weighted logistic regression model to determine factors associated with early sexual initiation. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the strength of association.
Results: The overall prevalence of early sexual initiation among female youth in Tanzania was 17.4% (95%CI: 15.77-19.24). In the adjusted analysis, female youth with no formal education were more likely to have early sexual initiation (aOR=3.28, 95%CI: 2.22-4.86). Additionally, female youth who were working were more likely to have early sexual initiation (aOR=0.77, 95%CI: 0.59-0.99). Women aged 20 to 24 showed a decrease in the likelihood of early sexual initiation (aOR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.56-0.85).
Conclusion: This study found a significant proportion of AGYW who had early sexual debut. Addressing early sexual debut among Tanzanian youth requires a multifaceted approach that includes educational reforms and comprehensive economic strengthening while addressing structural inequalities that increase their sexual vulnerability.​ Prioritizing access to quality education, empowerment, and comprehensive sexual health education is essential to mitigate the risks associated with early sexual initiation.
PM10 prediction in South Korea via ensemble tree-based methods
Authors: Lim Yaeji , Hwang Beom Seuk
Published: November 2024

Air pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems in South Korea; therefore, the prediction of particulate matter with a diameter ≤ 10 μm (PM10) levels has been studied across various fields. Ensemble tree models are popular choices for predicting air quality metrics due to their flexibility, robustness, and ability to handle complex data patterns. Many other variables, such as meteorological factors, ground-level air pollution data, and satellite measurements, are associated with PM10, but they often have complex and non-linear relationships. Ensemble tree models are capable of capturing these non-linear interactions effectively. Additionally, these models provide insights into which features are most important in predicting PM10 levels through feature importance scores. This interpretability aids in understanding the underlying factors contributing to changes in PM10 levels and assists policymakers in taking preventive actions. In this paper, we apply four ensemble tree models-random forests, XGBoost, BART, and quantile BART-to predict PM10 levels in Seoul, South Korea. Results demonstrate that quantile BART provides the most accurate predictions and is less influenced by a few dominant predictor variables.
Modeling Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Therapy Highlights Neutrophil Impact on Tumor Suppression
Authors: Satani Sahaj , Dobrovolny Hana
Published: November 2024

Oncolytic vaccinia viruses (OVVs) present a promising approach for melanoma treatment due to their ability to selectively infect and lyse tumor cells. In this study, we use an ordinary differential equation (ODE) model of tumor growth inhibited by OVV activity to parameterize previous research on the effect of neutrophil depletion in B16-F10 melanoma tumors in mice. We find that the data are best fit by a model that accounts for neutrophil-mediated viral clearance, and that neutrophil depletion provides a mechanism for enhanced OVV efficacy and tumor reduction. We also find that parameter estimates for the most effective OVV regime share characteristics, most notably a low viral clearance rate by neutrophils, that might explain the improved outcomes. Further studies examining the impact of neutrophil modulation across different tumor models may help elucidate the extent to which these findings generalize and inform the design of novel OVV-based cancer therapies.

Published: November 2024

The XyloDensMap dataset aims to provide comprehensive knowledge and quantification of wood density (WD) and its variation across European tree species and their populations. Data were obtained by combining spatially systematic National Forest Inventory (NFI) sampling, and a high-flow method of WD measurement by X-ray Computed Tomography. WD was measured on 110,763 wood cores sampled at tree breast height over the period 2016-2019 on forest plots of the French NFI evenly distributed across mainland France. The dataset covers 156 European tree species and wide gradients of elevations (from 0 to 2,300 m above sea level), climates (oceanic, continental, mountain and Mediterranean climates) and soil conditions. It encompasses most European forest types, with the exception of boreal forests. WD measurements are proportional to the abundance of tree species in the forest area sampled. This dataset’s potential extends to the intensive documentation of a major ecological trait, the assessment of the drivers of WD variation, or the improvement of forest biomass and carbon estimates (stocks and fluxes), and their uncertainty.
Length scales in the tear resistance of soft tissues and elastomers: a comparative study based on computational models

Published: November 2024

Fracture toughness describes a material’s ability to resist failure in the presence of defects. In case of soft biological tissues, a reliable determination and interpretation of the fracture properties is essential to estimate the risk of fracture after clinical interventions. Here we perform a comparative computational study between soft biological tissues and compliant elastomers to discuss the influence of material non-linearity on the crack tip nearfield. Using detailed finite element simulations, singular near-tip stress fields are obtained, and a so-called nonlinear region is identified. Additional focus is put on the effect of material nonlinearity on the phenomenon of elastic crack blunting, by analysing the deformed crack profile and extracting a radius of curvature at the tip. Through concepts of traditional fracture mechanics, we identify the size of the process zone and nonlinear elastic zone in biological tissues, juxtaposed with that of elastomers, demonstrating the limitations of the traditional metrics in capturing the remarkable defect tolerance of this highly nonlinear material class.

Published: November 2024

El síndrome de dientes agrietados tiene una alta prevalencia en la sociedad, sin embargo, es poco notada y registrada. Su tratamiento se ha vuelto cada vez más desafiante, pues se trata de una situación clínica de difícil diagnóstico. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar, a través del análisis de prontuarios, la prevalencia de este síndrome en pacientes atendidos en el Centro Universitário Doutor Leão Sampaio - UNILEÃO. Se realizó un estudio transversal por medio del levantamiento de 155 prontuarios de los últimos cinco años, siendo analizados la denuncia principal, el análisis de la odontograma y el plan de tratamiento realizado. La prevalencia de grietas en las estructuras dentales en el período descrito fue de 10,3%. Tras ser identificadas, se notó que el 75% de estos pacientes presentaron considerables pérdidas dentales y que el 37,5% presentaron algún tipo de sensibilidad dolorosa. Se observó que en 117 (75,5%) de los historiales analizados había registros de carillas de desgaste, 118 (76,1%) presentaron múltiples pérdidas dentales y 79 (51,0%) presentaron restauraciones extensas. No hubo necesidad de tratamiento invasivo para las grietas investigadas. De acuerdo con los resultados, supone que la baja prevalencia del síndrome del diente agrietado puede explicarse por la falta de una estenografía específica para grietas dentales, por fallas durante la realización de la odontograma y por la dificultad en el diagnóstico. De esta forma, se cree que hubo una posible subnotificación de las grietas dentales, que es una condición esencial en la planificación y éxito del tratamiento.

ISLAM JAWA DAN PEACEFUL ISLAM SEBAGAI KONTRA RADIKALISME ISLAM DI PEDALAMAN RIAU, SUMATERA KONTEMPORER
Authors: Rubaidi Rubaidi Rubaidi
Published: November 2024

This article is the result of research on the locality of Islam in Indonesia post-reformation, focusing on the rural areas of Riau, Sumatra. The study examines the dynamics of local Islam in three regencies, namely Siak, Pelalawan, and Rokan Hulu, in the province of Riau, uncovering various interesting phenomena. The Riau Malay Islam, which has deep historical roots influenced by Sufism, has developed a pattern and character of peaceful Islam. This peaceful Islam character is shaped through the acculturation of local traditions and culture. At a glance, this peaceful Islam seems to be a collective identity of the Riau Malay Muslims that is unchanging. However, this is not the case. Post-reformation Islam in Riau has undergone dynamic changes. The rise of radical Islamic ideologies promoted by several radical Islamic organizations has led to a shift in the mindset of the Malay Muslims from moderate and peaceful to more radical. Amidst this shift in Islamic thought in modern Riau Malay, networks of Javanese Muslims from various pesantren in Java affiliated with the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) organization have been promoting the spirit of Javanese Islam, which is peaceful, akin to the Malay Islam inherited from their ancestors. In this open social structure, each actor plays a role in interpreting Islam within the mentioned social structure.

PENGARUH BIMBINGAN KEAGAMAAN TERHADAP PENCEGAHAN SIMPTOM NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER PADA REMAJA
Authors: Prasetiyo Nova Tri , Rohim Muhammad
Published: November 2024

The life of adolescents impacts not only themselves but also their surroundings, whether positively or negatively. Among the many negative traits that often occur in adolescents is Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). This is because adolescence is a time of self-discovery. To prevent and minimize the symptoms of NPD, a concerted effort in the form of religious guidance is required. The goal is to delve deeper into the benefits and influences of Sufism education included in religious guidance when presented to them. The method used in this research is quantitative, with statistical calculations employing an associative or correlational research type. The results of this study show that the religious guidance received can be sufficiently applied by some of them. As for NPD, it can be said that they partly need efforts to avoid things related to the symptoms of this disorder. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the research aligns with the initial hypothesis, namely that there is an influence on the prevention of Narcissistic Personality Disorder through the implementation of religious guidance in adolescents. Thus, it can be stated that if religious guidance is carried out to the fullest, the symptoms of NPD in students will also be lower.

The institute of lease relations of the Soviet period is a special legal institution that has undergone changes in the conditions of the administrative and command economy. At the same time, within the framework of civil science, scientists continued the development of legal thought, which was formed from the second half of the XIX century, but taking into account the public component. The absence of private property, which is the main object under the lease agreement, led to the active application of such a legal structure in public relations, which could not but have an impact on the development of civil doctrine. In the period from the beginning of the 20s to the beginning of the 90s of the XX century, disputes continued in civil science about the substantive and binding nature of the contract, about the absolute or relative nature of the legal relations arising, about the terms of the lease agreement. Many scientific studies of this period are devoted to the study of the institute of rental relations. In the framework of this study, the author refers to the works of M. M. Agarkov, O. S. Ioffe, L. A. Lunts, T. E. Novitskaya, G. I. Petrishcheva, G. N. Polyanskaya, V. A. Ryasentsev, E. A. Fleishits and others. The study of the doctrinal positions described in the works of Soviet civil scientists will provide an opportunity to fully identify the features of the lease agreement, trace the trends in the development of this institution and the change in scientific thought in connection with the changing legislation, legal and economic system of the state.
Adaptation of the Soviet Experience of Criminal Measures in Wartime for Modern Russia.
Authors:   Amur State University, Maricheva O. V.
Published: November 2024

Modern reality dictates the need to improve criminal legislation, in particular, the system of criminal penalties, in wartime conditions. Taking into account the historical features of legal regulation in this area allows us to solve this problem most effectively. The Soviet period was characterized by a tightening of the punitive policy of the state during the period of hostilities. At the same time, the modern Criminal Code initially did not contain such provisions, and only the difficult geopolitical situation of recent years prompted the legislator to amend it in terms of taking into account the peculiarities of wartime. The article examines the possibility of adapting the historical experience of applying criminal measures in wartime to modern Russian realities. Based on the analysis of Soviet practice, the author substantiates the expediency of introducing some of its elements, for example, accelerated judicial proceedings in cases of military crimes, the possibility of involving convicted servicemen to serve their sentences in the active army. The author also substantiates the impossibility of including the most severe sanctions (for example, the death penalty, exile and expulsion) in the current criminal law regulation as contrary to modern human rights standards. It is concluded that the integrated use of adapted Soviet experience in combination with new scientific developments will strengthen the preventive and punitive potential of criminal law in wartime conditions, increase the effectiveness of criminal justice and ensure the protection of the country's defense capability while respecting the guarantees of individual rights.
A novel approach for multivariate time series interval prediction of water quality at wastewater treatment plants
Authors: Liu Siyu , Wang Zhaocai , Li Yanyu
Published: November 2024

This study proposes a novel approach for predicting variations in water quality at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), which is crucial for optimizing process management and pollution control. The model combines convolutional bi-directional gated recursive units (CBGRUs) with adaptive bandwidth kernel function density estimation (ABKDE) to address the challenge of multivariate time series interval prediction of WWTP water quality. Initially, wavelet transform (WT) was employed to smooth the water quality data, reducing noise and fluctuations. Linear correlation coefficient (CC) and non-linear mutual information (MI) techniques were then utilized to select input variables. The CBGRU model was applied to capture temporal correlations in the time series, integrating the Multiple Heads of Attention (MHA) mechanism to enhance the model's ability to comprehend complex relationships within the data. ABKDE was employed, supplemented by bootstrap to establish upper and lower bounds of the prediction intervals. Ablation experiments and comparative analyses with benchmark models confirmed the superior performance of the model in point prediction, interval prediction, the analysis of forecast period, and fluctuation detection for water quality data. Also, this study verifies the model's broad applicability and robustness to anomalous data. This study contributes significantly to improved effluent treatment efficiency and water quality control in WWTPs.
CONSTITUCIONALISMO MULTINÍVEL, SISTEMA HETERÁRQUICO E DIÁLOGO ENTRE CORTES NO CONSTITUCIONALISMO LATINO-AMERICANO
Authors: Arcaro Conci Luiz Guilherme , Rodrigues Véras Gustavo
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo busca discutir o conceito de "Constitucionalismo Multinível" a partir de uma análise do Direito centrada em leitura heterárquica da relação entre as normas jurídicas do direito doméstico e do Direito Internacional, abandonando a constante análise hierárquica, usada usualmente para tanto. Nesse sentido, pontua a necessidade de se promover um consistente diálogo entre cortes, horizontal e vertical, para a melhor realização dos direitos humanos. Adota a revisão de literatura que trata dos desafios do constitucionalismo no atual cenário de entrelaçamento normativo com o Direito Internacional dos direitos humanos. Se propõe a analisar a jurisprudência de algumas cortes constitucionais latino-americanas e da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos para ser traçado um panorama acerca do atual estado da arte na realidade da América Latina.
Autoeficácia docente e indisciplina: Perceções de professores do 3.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico
Authors: Castro Silva José , Madeira Adriana , Ferreira Nádia
Published: November 2024

Um clima escolar positivo prediz positivamente a autoeficácia dos professores. Este artigo reporta os resultados de um estudo que explorou as relações entre as crenças de autoeficácia de professores portugueses para gerir a indisciplina em sala aula, o clima escolar e clima de sala de aula. Participaram 400 professores do 3.º ciclo do ensino básico, os quais responderam a três questionários que avaliam as suas crenças de autoeficácia sobre gestão de sala de aula, clima escolar e clima de sala de aula. A análise de dados, baseada em medidas de estatística inferencial, revela que os professores, de modo geral, possuem crenças de autoeficácia elevadas na gestão da indisciplina. Conclui-se, ainda, que os professores com maior tempo de serviço docente, maior tempo de serviço na mesma escola e que receberam formação para gerir a indisciplina detêm crenças de autoeficácia sobre gestão da indisciplina mais elevadas. Por último, professores que percecionam o clima escolar e clima de sala de aula como sendo mais positivo apresentam níveis mais elevados de autoeficácia na gestão da indisciplina. Os resultados obtidos permitem confirmar a importância do clima escolar e de sala de aula, inferindo-se que a perceção de eficácia docente é influenciada pelo clima das organizações escolares onde os professores exercem a sua profissão. Com base nos resultados mais significativos são discutidas as implicações para a formação inicial e contínua de professores.

Acceptance and Use of eHealth in Support and Psychological Therapy for People With Intellectual Disabilities: Two Cross-Sectional Studies of Health Care Professionals (Preprint)
Authors: Oudshoorn Cathelijn , Frielink Noud , Riper Heleen , Embregts Petri
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Acceptance of health care professionals is of paramount importance for the uptake and implementation of eHealth. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model is a widely used framework for studying health care professionals’ acceptance and actual use of eHealth among general client populations. However, there is limited understanding of the eHealth acceptance of health care professionals working with people with intellectual disabilities (ID).

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore the applicability of the UTAUT model toward understanding the acceptance, intention to use, and actual use of eHealth among support staff and therapists working with people with ID.

METHODS

A total of 2 cross-sectional survey studies were conducted among health care professionals from 5 health care organizations for people with ID in the Netherlands in 2018 (n=311) and in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic (n=326). In addition to confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses to evaluate both the original UTAUT model and an extended version, descriptive analysis was used to explore participants’ characteristics, acceptance levels, and eHealth usage. Moderator analysis and multiple regression analysis were also used.

RESULTS

A confirmatory factor analysis indicated a poor fit for both the original 4-factor UTAUT model and the extended version. An exploratory factor analysis was then conducted, resulting in a more satisfactory 5-factor model after removing 1 item with a factor loading <.40. Internal consistency of the 5 factors ranged from acceptable to good (Cronbach α=.76-.85). Collectively, all factors predicted the intention to use eHealth in 2018 (R2=0.47; F5,305=54.885; P<.001) and in 2021 (R2=0.43; F5,320=49.32; P<.001). Participants scored moderately on all 5 acceptance factors in both 2018 and 2021. Moderator analysis indicated that age and voluntariness influence the relationship between factors that determined acceptance and intention to use eHealth.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings from 2 cross-sectional studies conducted in 2018 and 2021, using an extended UTAUT model, gave a deeper understanding of eHealth acceptance among health care professionals who work with people with ID.
