Collaborative optimization of multi-modal transport solutions for urban-rural bus routes
Authors: Zhang Jun , Qin Jingyi , Shao Jinliang , Shen Jiajun , Lv Bin
Published: October 2024

Faced with the land use heterogeneity and trip distribution non-equilibrium along the corridor connecting urban district and rural area, the operation characteristics of the all-stop bus, the express bus and the shuttle bus running on the transportation corridor should be given full consideration, as well as the tradeoff between passenger trip cost and bus operation cost during the peak-hour period. In order to realize the reliable decision of bus resources configuration for urban-rural public transportation, a bi-objective programming model of multi-modal urban-rural bus operation scheme is established, where the decision variables include the departure frequency of different bus modals, the terminals of shuttle buses, and the stop scheme of express buses, under the constraints of departure interval, passenger volume, vehicle occupancy, section capacity usage and modal competition. To validate the feasibility of proposed optimization model, an urban-rural bus corridor from Rural Jasmine Ecological Park in Hanjiang District to West Xiangyang Bridge in Songqiao Town was chosen as a study case, and the operation organization scheme of three bus modals were solved by the mathematical solver Lingo using mixed integer programming. Meanwhile, the scheme differences under different subobjective weights were discussed, taking into account the uncertain passenger demand and operation supply. The result shows that the increase of passenger trip cost weight will increase the departure frequency of all three bus modals, while the increase of operation cost weight will decrease the total operating vehicles, but the stop frequency at middle stations for express buses will increase accordingly. Compared to the current operation scheme, the optimized scheme can greatly enhance the section capacity usage at a slight sacrifice of passenger trip time with fewer bus vehicles.

We hypothesized that after synovial injury, collagen V (Col V) expose occult antigens, and Col V autoantibodies develop, indicating the loss of immune tolerance against this molecule, thus leading to damage to mesenchymal-derived cells as well as the extracellular matrix in experimental arthritis. Thus, the present study investigated the effects of oral administration of Col V on the synovium after the development of inflammation in mBSA/CFA-induced arthritis. After fourteen days of intraarticular administration of mBSA, 10 male Lewis rats were orally administered Col V (500 μg/300 μL) diluted in 0.01 N acetic acid (IA-Col V group). The arthritic group (IA group, n = 10) received only intraarticular mBSA. An intra-articular saline injection (20 μL) was given to the control group (CT-Col V, n = 5). IA group presented damaged synovia, the expansion of the extracellular matrix by cellular infiltrate, which was characterized by T and B lymphocytes, and fibroblastic infiltration. In contrast, after Col V oral immunotherapy IA-Col V group showed a significant reduction in synovial inflammation and intense expression of IL-10+ and FoxP3+ cells, in addition to a reduction in Col V and an increase in Col I in the synovia compared to those in the IA group. Furthermore, an increase in IL-10 production was detected after IA-Col V group spleen cell stimulation with Col V in vitro. PET imaging did not differ between the groups. The evaluation of oral treatment with Col V, after mBSA/CFA-induced arthritis in rats, protects against inflammation and reduces synovial tissue damage, through modulation of the synovial matrix, showing an immunotherapeutic potential in inhibiting synovitis.
Chain hybrid feature selection algorithm based on improved Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm
Authors: Bai Xiaotong , Zheng Yuefeng , Lu Yang , Shi Yongtao
Published: October 2024

Hybrid feature selection algorithm is a strategy that combines different feature selection methods aiming to overcome the limitations of a single feature selection method and improve the effectiveness and performance of feature selection. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid feature selection algorithm, to be named as Tandem Maximum Kendall Minimum Chi-Square and ReliefF Improved Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm (TMKMCRIGWO). The algorithm consists of two stages: First, the original features are filtered and ranked using the bivariate filter algorithm Maximum Kendall Minimum Chi-Square (MKMC) to form a subset of candidate featuresS1; Subsequently,S1features are filtered and sorted to form a candidate feature subsetS2by using ReliefF in tandem, and finallyS2is used in the wrapper algorithm to select the optimal subset. In particular, the wrapper algorithm is an improved Grey Wolf Optimization (IGWO) algorithm based on random disturbance factors, while the parameters are adjusted to vary randomly to make the population variations rich in diversity. Hybrid algorithms formed by combining filter algorithms with wrapper algorithms in tandem show better performance and results than single algorithms in solving complex problems. Three sets of comparison experiments were conducted to demonstrate the superiority of this algorithm over the others. The experimental results show that the average classification accuracy of the TMKMCRIGWO algorithm is at least 0.1% higher than the other algorithms on 20 datasets, and the average value of the dimension reduction rate (DRR) reaches 24.76%. The DRR reached 41.04% for 12 low-dimensional datasets and 0.33% for 8 high-dimensional datasets. It also shows that the algorithm improves the generalization ability and performance of the model.
Organizaciones e instrumentos internacionales de cooperación en seguridad

Published: October 2024

La criminalidad, en general, alcanza mayor expresión cuando del aspecto local o individual pasa a grupos u organizaciones concertadas y estructuradas para el logro de sus fines, actuando así de forma integrada y coordinada, superando fronteras. Aspectos como terrorismo u otras formas de crimen organizado, los distintos tráficos ilícitos o la explotación de seres humanos, entre otros, cuentan con un marcado perfil internacional, enfocado al logro de poder, objetivos económicos, fanáticos, supremacistas, etc., incluyendo asesoramientos legales, técnicos y demás apoyos. Los entramados organizados para el delito se entienden y colaboran entre sí con más celeridad que los Estados y Organismos internacionales, superando límites de estos, al tiempo que aprovechan en su beneficio elementos con que las sociedades democráticas se dotan legítimamente. Factores esenciales son internacionalización y acceso a tecnología por la criminalidad, apreciándose claramente la necesidad de mejor normativa internacional vinculante y colaboración sincera, aflorando déficits que afectan a la delincuencia y repercuten extensivamente sobre víctimas, prevención, investigación, protección y legislación, referidas a derechos y libertades de ciudadanos e instituciones. El presente trabajo trata de desgranar y analizar las principales organizaciones y estructuras nacionales-internacionales, dedicadas a la colaboración internacional en seguridad, abordando igualmente su composición, funcionamiento, actividades, evolución y perfiles. Asimismo, se detallan las distintas herramientas e instrumentos que forman el amplio panel disponible, sus finalidades y aplicabilidad, evidenciando también su necesidad de evolución y adecuación permanente, que facilite poder afrontar las situaciones que se plantean, optimizando resultados y minimizando daños. Numerosa normativa nacional e internacional, e información, son referidas en el texto, siempre con propósito de aportar al lector elementos de base y apoyo sobre este complejo, apasionante y en continua evolución, en el que problemas comunes requieren igualmente soluciones comunes compartidas. Sin la salvaguarda de los principios de justicia, libertad y seguridad y la colaboración global en todos los aspectos precisos, considerando que las sociedades pueden ser destruidas interior y exteriormente, puede llegarse a situaciones fallidas y pérdida de posibilidades para vivir digna, libre y solidariamente.
Divided by policy, united by resilience: Using transformative pedagogy to impact prospective teachers in all contexts
Authors: Bhatnagar Ruchi , Lloyd Rachel A. M. , Moore LaSonya L. , Hoffman Jo
Published: October 2024

As American teacher educators and teachers are being roiled by restrictive legislation around critical race theory and divisive concepts in some states, our investigation explored the impact of critical communities of practice (CoP) on redesigning and teaching introduction to education courses with a transformative lens. This manuscript details the collaboration of four equity-minded teacher educators, each representing unique institutional and political contexts. While two authors taught in states which promote culturally sustaining pedagogies, the other two authors taught in states that had passed laws restricting the professional autonomy of educators and honest discussions of race and racism. Participation in this critical CoP as a support group enabled us to better understand and navigate our dichotomous policy contexts and renewed our commitment to teaching prospective teachers to be politically conscious and empowered to teach in anti-racist ways. Our CoP was instrumental in helping us recognize that transformative pedagogies and collaboration are effective tools that can provide much needed support to teacher educators across policy contexts, while we simultaneously strive to prepare teacher candidates who will teach in culturally sustaining ways.
Профессиональная идентичность HR-менеджера как фактор инклюзивного найма и развития женщин в российских компаниях
Authors: Антонова Виктория Константиновна , Александрова Марина Юрьевна , Присяжнюк Дарья Игоревна , Рябиченко Татьяна Анатольевна
Published: October 2024

В статье проверяется гипотеза о том, что профессиональная идентичность HR-менеджера связана с долей женщин в компании и наличием отслеживаемых показателей (KPI) по их найму и продвижению. Эмпирически исследование опирается на анализ результатов всероссийского опроса HR-менеджеров «Перспективы инклюзивного трудоустройства в российских компаниях и факторы, влияющие на управление многообразием в контексте глобальных вызовов» (2021 г., объем выборки — 2050 респондентов), проведенного НЦМУ НИУ ВШЭ «Центр междисциплинарных исследований человеческого потенциала», и использует модели множественной линейной регрессии. В основе интерпретации результатов — теория производства смыслов (sense-making) К. Вейка и социологический неоинституционализм как подход к анализу организаций. Показано, что индивидуальные характеристики и профессиональная идентичность HR-менеджеров демонстрируют связь и с долей женщин в компании, и с наличием указанных показателей KPI. Самый сильный предиктор изменения доли женщин в компании — приверженность HR-менеджера стереотипам о них. Формальные институты, такие как международные нормы и регулирование обеспечения инклюзии в компании, скорее создают предпосылки инклюзивной среды в целом, но не увеличивают долю женщин. При этом HR-менеджеры в большей степени связаны с наймом женщин в компании, но в меньшей — с систематическим отслеживанием практик найма и продвижения женщин. То есть формальные институты вносят вклад в инклюзивную повестку компании, поддерживая ее легитимность, но не являются драйверами найма женщин.

Включенность россиян в образовательные практики, формирующие человеческий капитал
Authors: Слободенюк Екатерина Дмитриевна , Каравай Анастасия Вадимовна , Мареева Светлана Владимировна
Published: October 2024

Инвестиции населения в человеческий капитал обычно оцениваются с помощью расходов на образование, но этот подход имеет свои ограничения, поскольку соответствующие затраты могут быть не денежными, а временны́ми. В данном исследовании авторы обращаются к анализу включенности взрослого населения страны в широкий спектр образовательных практик, а затем фокусируются только на тех из них, которые нацелены на повышение навыков и знаний, приносящих потенциальную отдачу на рынке труда. Эмпирической базой выступают данные проекта «Выборочное наблюдение участия населения в непрерывном образовании» Росстата за 2020 г. Включенность в разнообразные образовательные практики не так широко распространена среди россиян; еще реже наблюдается вовлеченность в те формы получения знаний, которые связаны с повышением своего профессионального уровня. При этом далеко не все из них воспринимаются как инвестиции в человеческий капитал самим населением. Результаты регрессионного анализа показывают, что включенность в образовательные практики, формирующие человеческий капитал, во многом детерминируется особенностями положения работника на рынке труда и «требованиями профессии» — уровнем образования, его профилем, профессиональной позицией. Влияют на этот выбор и внешние факторы структурного характера, связанные с характеристиками предприятия и отрасли, а также спецификой локальных рынков труда.

Published: October 2024

В Казахстан за годы независимости переселилось из разных стран мира более 1 млн репатриантов (кандасов). Предмет представленного исследования — процессы интеграции кандасов на исторической родине, цель — выявление сложностей с адаптацией репатриантов. Кроме классических теорий изучения социальных явлений авторы опирались на теорию социальных миграционных сетей. Для сбора первичной социальной информации использованы: анализ статистической информации, фокус-группы, интервью, анкетирование.
Предпринимаемые правительством республики и органами местной власти меры способствуют успешной адаптации репатриантов. В то же время, как показали результаты проведенного исследования, интеграция кандасов в принимающее сообщество осложняется по причинам субъективного и объективного характера. Это могут быть, например, затягивание решения вопросов органами управления или отсутствие взаимопонимания с местным населением — как казахами, так и представителями других этносов. Репатрианты не располагают объективной информацией о социально-экономической и культурной жизни, о языковой ситуации в современном Казахстане. Казахско-русское двуязычие в некоторых областях страны оказывается неожиданным для кандасов и вызывает возмущение той их части, кто не владеет русским языком. Для успешной интеграции репатриантов необходима согласованная работа государственных органов, широкая информационно-разъяснительная работа.

En el presente trabajo se examina en profundidad el canon del agua regulado en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco. Se abordan los principales elementos que configuran este tributo, poniéndose énfasis en su naturaleza jurídica, en los supuestos de no sujeción, las exenciones y bonificaciones. Estos últimos permiten mostrar no solo la profunda modificación que recibieron a través de la Ley 13/2019 de 27 de diciembre, sino también las connotaciones ambientales que abraza este tributo autonómico para la protección del medio hídrico. Por otra parte, en el trabajo se identifican las diferencias marcadas que presentan algunos supuestos de no sujeción y bonificaciones del canon regulado en el País Vasco con relación al canon del agua regulado en Cataluña.
Procedimientos, derechos y garantías El interrogatorio a trabajadores en sede de la empresa en el marco de un registro domiciliario. Análisis de la STS núm. 1173/2024, de 2 de julio, recurso núm. 5831/2023
Authors: Sedeño López José Francisco
Published: October 2024

El Tribunal Supremo ha determinado que el interrogatorio a los trabajadores de una empresa en la sede de ésta realizado de manera sorpresiva y enmarcado en un registro domiciliario supone una vulneración del derecho fundamental a un proceso con todas las garantías (artículo 24 CE). Por el contrario, ha descartado que esta actuación inspectora vulnere el derecho a la inviolabilidad del domicilio (artículo 18 CE), si bien no se trata de una cuestión pacífica como pone de manifiesto la existencia de un voto particular al respecto.
Implicaciones jurídico-tributarias de los traslados de residencia entre comunidades autónomas: estudio de la SAN 746/2024, de 31 de enero
Authors: Navarro García Albert
Published: October 2024

La Sentencia de la Audiencia Nacional 746/2024, de 31 de enero, aborda un recurso contencioso administrativo que confronta la resolución del Tribunal Económicoadministrativo Central, de 10 de febrero de 2020. En esta resolución se establecía el domicilio fiscal del contribuyente en Galicia, en contra de la posición del demandante, quien argumenta que su verdadero domicilio fiscal se encuentra en Madrid, destacando, entre otros argumentos presentados, que está empadronado en esta ciudad. La Audiencia Nacional falla a favor del contribuyente y cuestiona la falta de una justificación suficiente respecto a los indicios utilizados para determinar el domicilio fiscal por parte de la Administración Estatal de la Agencia Tributaria. Este caso no solo resalta la importancia de las pruebas adecuadas en los procedimientos administrativos, sino que también pone de relieve la complejidad y la sensibilidad de los asuntos relacionados con los cambios de residencia entre diferentes Comunidades Autónomas. La resolución de la Audiencia Nacional invita a una reflexión más profunda sobre la interpretación de los indicios y la aplicación de la normativa fiscal en situaciones donde los contribuyentes trasladan su domicilio fiscal de una comunidad autónoma a otra, para garantizar una aplicación adecuada del sistema tributario, sin olvidar la protección hacia los ciudadanos frente a posibles interpretaciones erróneas por parte de las administraciones tributarias.
Vladimír Šmilauer, Karel Hausenblas a Alexandr Stich v roce 2023. Osobnosti a jazykovědné dílo

Published: October 2024

In present article we tried to capture the scientific and personality traits of three Czech and Czechoslovakian linguists who co-created our linguobohemistics in an unforgettable way. We remember Vladimír Šmilauer as a great syntactician with other broad-based linguistic interests, we see Karel Hausenblas as the creator of a new stylistic theory. On the other hand, Alexandr Stich is for us not only a modern philologist and one of the most important historians of the development of the Czech language. We also examine how our current linguobohemistics has changed since their time and how they would appreciate our progress and criticize our debts.
Metastases Development Following Local Tumour Treatment
Authors: Jurin A. , Jukić T. , Ivanković S. , Jurin Mislav
Published: October 2024

Transplantable mouse methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma (CMC4 tumour growing in CBA/HZgr mice), characterized by lung metastases developing shortly after local tumour cell transplantation, was used as an experimental model to investigate the problem of tumour metastases after local tumour treatment. Surgery and/or irradiation were performed on locally growing tumour of particular size. Further, heavily irradiated, viable but not dividing tumour cells, imitating the situation in treated tumour-bearing organism, were injected intraperitoneally in a parallel group of treated tumour-bearing mice. The animals were killed 35 days after tumour transplantation and the number and volume of lung metastases were determined. Depending on the treatment performed, when the tumour mass was reduced or even eliminated, the number of lung metastases and their volume were significantly lower than in control mice, but the addition of tumour mass (injection of heavily irradiated tumour cells) resulted in a significant increase in lung metastases parameters, pointing to a possible role of the host’s immune reaction against the tumour. Further, the release of a simple molecule, such as nitric oxide, from tumour mass seems to be detrimental for the survival of tumour cells and subsequently their metastases through the induction of angiogenesis and possible suppression of immune reaction. Thus, complex mechanisms could be involved when a locally growing tumour is exposed to a particular therapeutic approach.
The Influence of Variations in the DNA Repair (XRCC1) Gene on HIV-1/AIDS among Indian Population

Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may influence individual variations in the DNA repair capacity. Polymorphisms in the XRCC1 gene that cause amino acid substitutions may impair the interaction of its proteins (XRCC1) with the other enzymatic proteins and consequently alter DNA repair function, which may be associated with the risk of HIV-1/AIDS disease. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of polymorphisms in XRCC1 codon 399 in a sample of Indian population with HIV-1/AIDS to evaluate its association with the disease. Polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism were used to analyse XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms in 300 positively diagnosed cases with HIV-1/AIDS and an equal number of negatively diagnosed controls of the matched age. The XRCC1 homozygous variant genotype Gln399Gln was associated with an increased risk of HIV-1/AIDS disease (OR = 1.8, 95% CI 1.10–2.94), while no association was found with the Arg399Gln genotype. Polymorphisms in the XRCC1 homozygous variant genotype for the 399Gln allele were associated with the risk of HIV-1/AIDS disease in a sample of North Indian population.
Analytical evaluation of eight qualitative FIT for haemoglobin products, for professional use in the UK
Authors: Piggott Carolyn , John Cerin , O’Driscoll Shane , Benton Sally C.
Published: October 2024

Objectives

Qualitative faecal immunochemical tests for haemoglobin (FIT), for triaging for colorectal cancer investigations, are available for professional use. The aim was to evaluate these lateral flow tests. No previous analytical evaluations have been published.

Methods

Analytical sensitivity (AS) was assessed using samples spanning manufacturers’ quoted AS, concurrently with the quantitative OC-SENSOR PLEDIA, using Hb-spiked samples in manufacturers’ buffer (n≥5; ≤9–99 ng Hb/mL buffer), Hb-spiked feces (n=6; <2–34 µg Hb/g feces) and natural feces (n=17; <2–82 μg/g); concentrations for 50 %/100 % Hb-detected were compared with quoted AS. Compatibility with two external quality assessment schemes (EQAS) (n=9; 3–96 μg/g) and prozone compared with manufacturers limits (n=9; 2,500–10,000,000 ng/mL) were tested. Ease-of-use by five healthcare personnel was assessed.

Results

Seven products showed lower AS (ng/mL) than manufacturers quoted using Hb-spiked aqueous samples compared with OC-SENSOR, one was equivocal; six manufacturers quoted AS in µg/g, five showed lower AS using Hb-spiked feces. Results were similar but less consistent for natural feces. Result lines for low concentrations can be faint and open to interpretation. Results were consistent with manufacturers quoted prozone limits. Results were consistent for seven products for two EQAS. The ease-of-use was 68.5–85.6 %; products with lower scores could be improved with better instructions and sample bottles.

Conclusions

AS was lower for seven products (aqueous samples) and five products (aqueous/faecal samples) and prozone consistent with manufacturers expected concentrations, compared with OC-SENSOR. EQAS results were mostly consistent with expected results; products can be used by healthcare professionals, though some manufacturer improvements could be made.
Nowhere to Go
Authors: van Harmelen Jonathan
Published: October 2024

This article examines epidemics and disease prevention within the War Relocation Authority camps for Japanese Americans during World War II. Although scholars and activists have noted the limits and inadequacies of medical care within the camps, little attention has been given to the actions of camp administrators in curtailing outbreaks of deadly diseases such as polio and tuberculosis, including universal vaccination requirements and the use of quarantine orders. Disease in the camps resulted in cases of social isolation and ostracization and further exacerbated the stresses of life among the confined. Meanwhile, this article explores the use of the camps as sites of scientific study. Administrators and anthropologists documented cases of camp epidemics and published their results in journals on public health.
Lost in Translation?
Authors: Yellen Jeremy A. , Tomsovic Phil
Published: October 2024

The PT-109 story is a mainstay of popular and academic narratives. Scholars tell the sinking of John F. Kennedy’s patrol torpedo (PT) boat as a U.S. story, focusing on Kennedy’s heroism, his incompetence, and how it launched his public career. This article, however, reveals the PT-109 story as co-constructed in Japan and the United States. Kennedy went to Japan in 1951 to craft a narrative of forgiveness and friendship that would help his political career. His visit led to a remarkable letter exchange with the captain of the destroyer that sunk his boat, Hanami Kōhei. These letters, and Hanami’s exaggerations to his story in the following decade, courted a controversy about the remembrance of the past that influences how the incident is viewed today. The war story—constructed on both sides of the Pacific—in turn affirmed and strengthened the narratives of “forgiveness” and “friendship” that defined the postwar U.S.-Japan partnership.
Gabe Masao in Translation
Authors: Matsumura Wendy
Published: October 2024

The following section includes an introduction to the work of Okinawan historian Gabe Masao by Wendy Matsumura and Tze M. Loo, along with translations of two of his articles that were previously available only in the original Japanese. First, Matsumura and Loo’s introduction situates Gabe’s work within the historiographical literature on the Ryūkyū kingdom’s annexation by the Japanese state, arguing that although he eschews the word “colonialism” to describe the process through which the newly formed Okinawa prefecture is incorporated into the empire, his work provides compelling evidence to support the application of a colonial framework to understand Japan’s rule of the prefecture. Next is Gabe’s essay “From Ryūkyū to Okinawa,” as excerpted and translated by Matsumura. Last is Loo’s excerpt and translation of Gabe’s “Actions toward Modern Japanese National Consciousness: The Case of Ryūkyū-Okinawa.”

Published: October 2024

The lifestyle of the people of a country can also be an illustration of how that country will experience growth in the economic sector. An individual's lifestyle and interest in saving must, of course, be accompanied by knowledge and literacy that can control this. This research aims to determine the influence of economic education on the generation's lifestyle and interest in saving, which is mediated by financial literacy and a circle of friends. The population in this study is generation Z, who live in Petasia District. The sampling technique used the Limeshow equation formula with a determined sample size of 700 respondents. The data collection method uses a questionnaire. The data analysis technique is partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The results of this research show that economic education (X) has a positive and significant influence on Generation Z's lifestyle and interest in saving. Then, financial literacy and a circle of friends are able to mediate the influence between economic education and Generation Z's interest in saving. These findings encourage generation Z to optimize economic education, both formal and informal, as well as increase financial literacy, in order to maintain their lifestyle. It is also necessary to optimize learning access and provide great opportunities for Generation Z to increase their financial literacy.

This research aims to determine the influence of entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial intentions with the mediation of subjective norms and moderation of self-efficacy. This research is quantitative, analyzing responses to questionnaires distributed to 218 accounting education students at seven universities in Indonesia. Verify the data by hypothesis testing, then the collected data is analyzed using Partial Least Square -Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of this research are that subjective norms perfectly mediate the influence of entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial intentions, but self-efficacy does not moderate the influence of entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial intentions. These results have implications to increase students' entrepreneurial intentions, the authorities should create course programs recommended by the business and industrial world, whether run by the government or the private sector. In addition, it is necessary to evaluate the entrepreneurship learning curriculum in order to increase the content of attitudes and capable beliefs. The originality of this research explores the entrepreneurial intentions of accounting education students in Indonesia. This research combines a mediation model and a moderation model.

This quantitative study seeks to explore the influence of personal traits and university support for green entrepreneurial intentions, while also considering gender as a control variable. The research population comprises 244 students, with a sample size of 152 students enrolled in economic education at the University of Education Indonesia. The theory used is the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). Data collection using a questionnaire. Data analysis techniques with structural equation modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS 3. The results of this study indicate that personal traits and university green entrepreneurial intention support have a positive and significant influence on green entrepreneurial intention. In addition, it was found that there is no difference in green entrepreneurial intention from the aspect of gender. It is suggested that it involves developing educational programs to form personal traits and strengthening university support, with industry collaboration for an environmentally sound environment. PLS was chosen as the analysis method because it is suitable for small sample sizes, model complexity, focus on prediction, and consideration of control variables such as gender. It is expected to provide an in-depth understanding of the factors that influence green entrepreneurial intention among university students.

Authors: Wang Xi , Zhang Enyou , Cui Yingjun , Huang Jie , Cheng Meng
Published: October 2024

This study constructs a deep learning-based model to predict internet addiction among college students and analyzes significant influencing factors. A random survey of 4,895 students from a university in Shandong Province was conducted using questionnaires on general information, internet addiction (CIAS-R), personality (CBF-PI-B), psychological traits (SDS, SAS), parenting styles (EMBU), behavioral issues (SAS-C), and social support (ASSRS) to establish a database. A predictive model was developed using a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN), extracting key influencing factors of internet addiction. The model showed 92.77% accuracy, with high precision and recall rates for predicting normal users and addicts. The gradient calculation indicates that in second-year students, negative and withdrawal behaviors, depression, over-interfering families, and anxiety significantly contribute to Internet addiction, with factors exceeding 0.5. The 1D-CNN model offers robust performance and accuracy in predicting internet addiction, identifying significant factors for early prevention and potential integration with apps for real-time monitoring.

La inteligencia artificial (IA) está transformando las finanzas y los negocios con análisis avanzados, automatización de procesos y predicciones precisas. Aunque mejora la eficiencia y la toma de decisiones, requiere supervisión humana para mantener la ética. La implementación de IA es costosa, demanda capacitación, proporciona mejoras significativas en la gestión de riesgos y en la toma de decisiones financieras, mejora la operación, el servicio al cliente, optimiza carteras e identifica oportunidades de inversión.
Sin embargo, surgen desafíos como preocupaciones éticas y de privacidad, la necesidad de interpretar adecuadamente los resultados, asegurar la ciberseguridad y cumplir las regulaciones. La IA automatiza tareas financieras, reduce costos y errores, personaliza servicios al analizar el comportamiento del cliente. No obstante, la dependencia de datos plantea problemas de privacidad y seguridad, los sesgos en los datos pueden afectar la equidad, y complejidad de los algoritmos puede dificultar la transparencia y comprensión de las decisiones automatizadas.
How to close a telephone call in Chinese – A problem for foreigners
Authors: Shi Wenrui , Kádár Dániel Z. , House Juliane , Liu Fengguang
Published: October 2024

In this study, we examine why closing a telephone call in Chinese can trigger intercultural irritations for foreigners. We investigate such irritations by comparing ways in which learners and native speakers of Chinese end phone calls. We follow a tripartite research design anchored in speech acts and interaction. First, we administered Discourse Completion Tests (DCTs) to a group of advanced European learners of Chinese and a group of native speakers of Chinese, investigating how members of these groups close telephone calls. Second, we studied two corpora of telephone closing conversations, including a Chinese and an English as lingua franca corpus. Third, we considered whether the pragmatic differences observed through our DCTs reflect broader Chinese and Western conventions of telephone closing observed through our interactional corpora, and whether the behaviour of foreign speakers of Chinese may have been influenced by pragmatic transfer. Through the research outcomes we interpret the above-mentioned intercultural irritations.
