Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kwon Mi Ji , Kang Hyuncheol
Published: June 2024

Imbalanced data is often found in many types of data subject to machine learning. Imbalanced data can be found in various fields such as fraud detection, unauthorized network intrusion detection, failure detection, and medical diagnosis, and it is known that if there is an imbalance problem in data, it affects the learning stage and reduces the classification performance of the learning model. Techniques to alleviate the imbalance data problem include an under-sampling technique that matches a class with a high distribution of data by a low class and an over-sampling technique that matches a class with a low distribution by a high class. In order to improve the classification performance of imbalanced data, this study aims to determine whether the problem of imbalanced data can be alleviated by applying various data resampling techniques to various analysis methods and then comparing the classification performance. To this end, an oversampling technique and an undersampling technique that can alleviate the problem of unbalanced data were briefly introduced, and a case analysis was conducted using financial data provided by DACON to compare the performance of the data resampling technique according to various analysis methods.

Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kim Moo Soo , Lee Chan Hee
Published: June 2024

This study empirically analyzed the effected determinants of global innovation, economic freedom, and GDP on financial development. An analysis was conducted by the OLS error correction model using panel data(N=224) from 2011 to 2019 of 28 countries. The results showed that economic freedom was the most influential factor in global financial development, and that global innovation and GDP also had a positive impact. Among components of economic freedom, property rights, money soundness, and market openness were found to have a positive impact on financial development, while regulations and government size were found to have a negative impact on financial development. And among components of global innovation, market sophistication, human capital research, infrastructure, knowledge and technology outputs, and business sophistication had an impact on financial development, but institutions and creative outputs did not appear to have an effect. This results has an academic importance of showing that economic freedom and innovation is more important factors than GDP for global financial development. Thus it is assumed that an advanced free-market economy system with a fair legal framework and a constant innovation is important for financial development in global environment where neo-protectionism is spreading.

Published: June 2024

Rural schools play an important role in their local areas, helping stimulate the community and promoting activities with economic, social, and cultural impact on the area. This study aimed to identify the projects undertaken by 44 rural schools in Asturias (Spain) in collaboration with local agents and organizations by consulting the school management teams. It also sought their opinions about the impact of these projects. The study used a mixed methodology: quantitative, analyzing the data collected from a semi-open questionnaire, and qualitative, listing and describing the projects. The questionnaire included questions about the organizations the schools collaborated with, the goals and subjects of the shared projects, and funding sources, and it asked for their opinions about their impact. The results indicate that rural schools in Asturias have undertaken projects covering various subjects in collaboration with local authorities, cultural centers, libraries, public health centers, small businesses, and On-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The respondents were very satisfied with the activities. They viewed their schools as a stimulus for their areas, stating that the projects encouraged a sense of belonging to the area and helped construct a collective identity. They also felt that they responded to shared needs, offered services to the community, allowed people to settle or remain in the area, and, to a lesser extent, helped local businesses and the local economy. Finally, the study concludes that these schools play an active role in their local areas, and highlights the importance of external support to implement initiatives that benefit the rural population.

Authors: Fitriani Fina , Hikmah Siti Nur , Fauzi Fawwaz Muhammad
Published: June 2024

Free radicals are compounds that can cause damage to human body cells, which can be prevented with antioxidants. Antioxidants can be found in several natural ingredients, such as water guava leaves. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of an ethanol extract from water guava leaves (Syzygium aqueum Burm F). The water guava leaves used came from the Kempek Palimanan Cirebon area. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method using a 96% ethanol solvent until a concentrated extract was obtained. The extract was identified for secondary metabolite content using a reagent test. An antioxidant activity test was carried out using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. Analysis of the strength of antioxidant activity is carried out by calculating the IC50 value, which is based on the percent inhibition of free radicals by the test sample by comparing Vitamin C. Identification of active compounds in the concentrated ethanol extract of water guava leaves indicated the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. The antioxidant activity of an ethanolic 96% extract of water guava leaves (Syzygium aquarium) in this study had an IC50 value of 6.89 ppm, which shows very strong antioxidant activity in warding off free radicals.

Philippine industrial policy journey: transforming the economy in the new digital age
Authors: Aldaba Rafaelita
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the Philippines’ evolving industrial policy in light of the accelerated digital transformation catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic laid bare vulnerabilities in supply and value chains, prompting a shift towards adopting Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 technologies. As the country prepares for the new digital age, implementing a new strategy is imperative to build a more competitive economy. The new science, technology, and innovation (STI)-driven industrial policy leverages Industry 4.0 to support digital transformation and enhance resilience, agility, and productivity. This necessitates integrating the country’s production systems across manufacturing, agriculture, and services. The new industrial strategy focuses not only on advancing manufacturing but also on its convergence with services and agriculture, embracing “mindfacturing”—a pathway that integrates intellectual work, creativity, and innovation into modern manufacturing. To achieve this, it is crucial to accumulate investments and STI capabilities while transforming industries to increase the share of STI-driven sectors in GDP. Aligning the Strategic Investment Priority Plan of the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Act with STI-driven initiatives is essential for driving industrialization and economic recovery. Sustaining the momentum of digital transformation efforts requires a more permanent budget allocation. Additionally, implementing the Philippine Industry Skills Framework is necessary to equip the workforce with futureready skills. Nationwide establishment of Regional Inclusive Innovation Centers (RIICs) is also recommended to foster collaboration among stakeholders in innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems. These centers will address societal issues and industry challenges through market-oriented research, facilitating the translation and commercialization of innovations into products and services.

BEYOND THE IDEALISED MATERNAL BOND: REDEFINING THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP IN THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE AND THE LAMBS OF LONDON
Authors: Teber Sena
Published: June 2024

Julia Kristeva asserts that maternal bond plays a significant role in the formation of an individual’s subjectivity. She claims that when the child gets separated from the mother to form its own identity, it goes through the process of abjection. As a result of this separation from the (m)other, all human desires, fears, insecurities, and sense of creativity associated with the semiotic aspect of language come to the fore. Kristeva relates the semiotic part to the unconscious, while the symbolic is all about properly representing objects, logic, and order through language. Thus, the symbolic realm functions to balance our desires, drives, and feelings and helps the subject to express its drives through language, yet in a filtered way according to the laws of the father and society. However, if the child cannot enter the symbolic order; or cannot liberate itself from the mother, it may have inner and mental struggles. Even though years pass, the remnants in the psyche continue to disturb the individual. In this respect, this study will reflect the condition of two daughters portrayed in The Beauty Queen of Leenane and The Lambs of London who are still in the process of abjection and incapable of entering the symbolic order.
Computational Study and Analysis of Carotid Artery Stenosis
Authors: Chowdhury Toukir Ahmed , Das Prasanjit
Published: June 2024

Heart diseases and strokes are the major causes of death both nationally and globally in recent years. Carotid artery stenosis is one of the leading causes of these disorders, along with many others. The constriction of the carotid artery, which provides blood to the head, face, and brain, causes this condition. This constriction happens due to a plaque buildup in the walls of the artery, a condition called atherosclerosis. A computational study on different degrees of stenosis on an artery, mild stenosis (30% stenotic artery) and moderate stenosis (70% stenotic artery) helps to analyze the blood flow patterns and behavior, identify different factors that may vary due to stenosis like – wall shear stress, velocity profile, and pressure distribution. The viscosity coefficient of blood, a non-Newtonian fluid, depends on the shear rate. Two non-Newtonian fluid flow models, Carreau and Cross models, are taken into account for its analysis, and the numerical computation was carried out using ANSYS WORKBENCH ACADEMIC STUDENT 2022 R2 with user-defined function for pulsatile blood flow consideration. This study is expected to aid the physicians and medical practitioners, as it shows the proportional relation between pressure and stenosis severity, identifies the more stenosis prone areas through analysis and personalize treatment plans. It also depicts how Cross model predicts higher WSS values compared to the Carreau model, and so has more reliability for higher severity of stenosis.

Published: June 2024

The decline in work results and the non-achievement of company targets can be one of the benchmarks related to employee performance. This contributes to achieving goals and profits for the company. The failure to achieve goals or contribute to increasing production quantity indicated a decline in employee performance at Perhutani Gresik. The objectives of this study were: (1) Understanding the impact of employee engagement on performance at Perhutani Gresik. (2) Examining the influence of work motivation on performance at Perhutani Gresik. (3) Investigating the correlation between work stress and employee performance at Perhutani Gresik. The sample was taken using a saturated sampling technique with a subject of 77 employees of Perhutani Gresik. Based on the results of multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that the employee engagement variable (X1) on employee performance (Y) obtained a significant value of 0.000 smaller than 0.05, which meant that employee engagement had a significant effect on employee performance. The work motivation variable (X2) obtained a significant value of 0.000 smaller than 0.05, which meant that work motivation had a significant effect on employee performance. The variable work stress (X3) on employee performance obtained a significant value of 0.152, which is greater than 0.05. This indicates that work stress partially does not have a significant effect on employee performance. In conclusion, the study at Perhutani Gresik sheds light on crucial factors influencing employee performance. The decline in work results and failure to meet company targets serve as key indicators of diminished performance. The research objectives aimed at understanding the impact of employee engagement, work motivation, and work stress on performance were successfully addressed.

This study highlighted the implications of a flexible work structure in improving job satisfaction in the country of Malaysia. Demographic analysis, validity, normality, reliability, and multiple regressions were performed to understand the connection between the research variables such as the flexibility of work arrangements, increment and appraisal, organizational environment, work pressures, and job satisfaction. Four hypothetical statements were formed based on the independent and dependent variables of the study. H1 and H2 were not supported; on the other hand, H3 and H4 were supported, as the significant value was more than 0.05. A total of 103 participants or 68.7% of respondents were female, while 31.3% were male. Cronbach’s Alpha value was taken into consideration in terms of conducting the reliability test, and it was analysed that the variables were reliable. Biased attitudes and news were found while generating the findings, created due to the poor performance of the responses. The research found that Malaysian participants did not believe in the factors that job satisfaction is increased due to appraisals, and the flexibility of work arrangements is not that important as the variables are not supported. The research generated the finding that a positive work culture and work environment enhance the efficiency of the workers by increasing job satisfaction among them. The employees considered that work pressure needed to be possessed by the employees to get job satisfaction.

Authors: Yadav Rani
Published: June 2024

The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate transethosomes containing Tinospora cordifolia for the treatment of arthritis. Tinospora cordifolia, known for its properties, was encapsulated in transethosomes to enhance its bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. The transethosomes were prepared using a thin-film hydration method and characterized for vesicle size, and drug release profile. The optimized formulation exhibited suitable vesicle size, high entrapment efficiency, and a sustained drug release profile. The transethosomal formulation of Tinospora cordifolia thus presents a promising alternative for arthritis treatment, offering enhanced delivery and efficacy. Further clinical studies are warranted to confirm its potential therapeutic benefits.

Authors: Zhou Jiawei
Published: June 2024

The financial markets are inherently complex and dynamic, characterized by high volatility and the influence of numerous factors. Predicting stock price trends is a challenging endeavor that has been significantly advanced by the advent of machine learning techniques. This study investigates the effectiveness of various models, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), XGBoost, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and hybrid models combining LSTM with XGBoost and SVM, in forecasting stock prices. Our results indicate that the LSTM model outperforms others, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy. Among the hybrid models, LSTM combined with XGBoost shows the best performance. Despite these findings, the study identifies several areas for further improvement, such as enhanced feature engineering, advanced hybrid models, refined attention mechanisms, improved model interpretability, data augmentation, and real-time prediction capabilities. This research contributes valuable insights into the application of hybrid attention-based LSTM models in financial forecasting, highlighting their potential and areas for future enhancement.
‘The Most Consistent of Them All’: William Sharman Crawford and the Politics of Suffrage
Authors: Daly Anthony
Published: June 2024

This article examines William Sharman Crawford’s participation in mid-nineteenth-century popular radicalism in England. Despite his unusual background as a wealthy Irish landlord and his limitations as a politician, Sharman Crawford emerged as an important figure in Chartism, especially during the early 1840s when he served as MP for Rochdale. His support from across Chartism resulted from his principled positions, particularly on suffrage, that demonstrated a commitment to democracy pursued through constitutional means. He emphasized the unjust nature of the exclusive legislation that resulted from an inadequate franchise and framed Chartist reforms as echoing past efforts in England and Ireland. Drawing on archival materials and the newspaper press, this article argues for Sharman Crawford’s significance in bridging the divides of radicalism in this era.

Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are extragalactic bursts of soft X-rays first identified ≳10 yr ago. Since then, nearly 40 events have been discovered, although almost all of these have been recovered from archival Chandra and XMM-Newton data. To date, optical sky surveys and follow-up searches have not revealed any multiwavelength counterparts. The Einstein Probe, launched in 2024 January, has started surveying the sky in the soft X-ray regime (0.5–4 keV) and will rapidly increase the sample of FXTs discovered in real time. Here we report the first discovery of both an optical and radio counterpart to a distant FXT, the fourth source publicly released by the Einstein Probe. We discovered a fast-fading optical transient within the 3′ localization radius of EP 240315a with the all-sky optical survey ATLAS, and our follow-up Gemini spectrum provides a redshift, z = 4.859 ± 0.002. Furthermore, we uncovered a radio counterpart in the S band (3.0 GHz) with the MeerKAT radio interferometer. The optical (rest-frame UV) and radio luminosities indicate that the FXT most likely originates from either a long gamma-ray burst or a relativistic tidal disruption event. This may be a fortuitous early mission detection by the Einstein Probe or may signpost a mode of discovery for high-redshift, high-energy transients through soft X-ray surveys, combined with locating multiwavelength counterparts.

H i Lyα emission in the chromosphere and transition region is a key ingredient of the incident radiation to coronal neutral hydrogen for modeling corona Lyα emission. The Lyα emission distribution across the solar disk can be obtained from a Lyα Carrington map. Before the launch of the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S), such a Lyα Carrington map was derived from the Carrington map at He ii 30.4 nm and sometimes is even assumed to be uniform. We construct the first Lyα Carrington map based on full-disk Lyα images acquired by the Solar Disk Imager (SDI) on board ASO-S and present two versions: the standard one is for a CR, and the other is daily updated. For modeling Lyα intensities during eruptions, the Carrington map with incorporated flare region is produced. Furthermore, we evaluate the difference between the Lyα Carrington map derived with SDI observations and that synthesized from the 30.4 nm data based on an empirical relationship between Lyα and He ii 30.4 nm intensities, particularly extended to flare intensities that have not been investigated before. The average difference of 38% proves the importance of the Lyα Carrington map built from observations directly. However, the synthetic Lyα Carrington map can be used as an approximation before SDI data are available. The comparison between the SDI Lyα Carrington map and the corresponding magnetic field synoptic map indicates that active regions in general are brighter in Lyα, while the sunspot umbras with strong magnetic field strength are usually weaker in Lyα.

Individual sorting and identification of thousands of insects collected in mass trapping biosurveillance programs is a labour intensive and time-consuming process. Metabarcoding, allows for the simultaneous identification of multiple individuals in a single mixed sample and has the potential to expedite this process. However, detecting all the species present in a bulk sample can be challenging, especially when under-represented non-native specimens are intercepted.

In this study, we quantified the effectiveness of DNA metabarcoding at detecting exotic species within six different mock communities of native and non-native species of European xylophagous cerambycid beetles. The main objective is to compare three different sequencing technologies (MinION, Illumina, and IonTorrent) to evaluate which one is the most suitable in this context. Although we did not observe significant differences in the total number of species detected between the three sequencing technologies, MinION detected a greater number of species on field-like samples. All three sequencing technologies achieved in detecting and identifying closely related species and species at low abundance. The capture method of insects in the field greatly influences sample preservation and detection. Individuals captured in traps containing monopropylene and water had lower DNA concentration, leading to lower species detection rates compared to individuals killed using just an insecticide without any collection medium.

This study conducted biostatistical multivariate analyses on 23 craniodental morphological measurements from 209 specimens to study interspecific variations amongst 15 bat species of the genus Myotis in Vietnam. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that the studied species can be divided into four groups as follows: extra-large-sized species (M. chinensis), large-sized species (M. pilosus, M. indochinensis and M. annectans), medium-sized species (M. altarium, M. hasseltii, M. montivagus, M. horsfieldii, M. ater, M. laniger and M. muricola) and small-sized species (M. annamiticus, M. aff. siligorensis, M. rosseti and M. alticraniatus). Our data revealed that the main craniodental features contributing to the variations in distinguishing Myotis species are the width of the anterior palatal, least height of the coronoid process, length of the upper and lower canine-premolar, zygomatic width and width across the upper canines and lower premolar-molar length. Based on patterns of morphological differences, we conducted comparisons between morphometrically closely resembling species pairs and further discussed additional characteristics that are expected to support the taxonomy and systematics of Vietnamese Myotis bats.
