Authors: Vidal Bezerra Angelim Thais Emanuelly
Published: January 2025

O Brasil registrou 112.090 casos de hanseníase de 2020 a 2024, sendo o nordeste brasileiro, a região com maior número de notificações, totalizando 47.290 diagnósticos, seguida da região centro oeste, com 25.059 infectados pelo Mycobacterium leprae. O município de Petrolina/PE, localizado na bacia hidrográfica do submédio do Rio São Francisco, no sertão pernambucano, notificou 1.548 casos no mesmo período, mantendo-se como uma das dez regiões hiperendêmicas para a doença no país. A presente pesquisa tem o objetivo de traçar o perfil sociodemográfico da hanseníase na cidade de Petrolina/PE, no último quadriênio. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, descritivo e quantitativo, realizado mediante coleta de dados no SINAN (Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificações), vinculado ao DATASUS, sendo empregadas as variáveis “ano de notificação” e “município de notificação”. Constatou-se uma redução dos números de casos de hanseníase no município de Petrolina no ano de 2024, em comparação com os anos de 2022 e 2023. Apesar disso, a doença continua sendo um grande desafio para saúde publica no que diz respeito à detecção, notificação e tratamento da doença. Diante disso, é notória que a disseminação de conhecimento, revela-se fundamental na prevenção da hanseníase e suas sequelas.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in Indonesia. MSMEs have shown their tenacity and survived the economic crisis. In line with the Covid-19 pandemic, it is hoped that MSMEs will survive again. Especially among MSMEs in Dau District, Malang Regency, whose fields include culinary, agriculture, fisheries and crafts. This group was chosen because of the high number of MSMEs in Dau District, Malang Regency and the abundant potential of natural resources (HR) in the area. The aim of this research is to examine and analyze the effectiveness of the results of assistance in preparing business proposals and analyzing financial reports for MSME actors in Dau District so that they can be used as a reference and make business improvements, become individual financial strength, so that they can make a big commitment to national finance. The research method used is field research carried out through direct interviews with village heads (or those who know the village program) and 1 MSME actor in the 5 selected villages. This activity stage begins with clarifying the obstacles that MSMEs often face, followed by clarifying the importance of strategic agreements, the efforts taken in preparing strategic plans, and the importance of auditing budget reports. The results of this research show that the majority of people in running their businesses do not understand how to make, prepare a feasible proposal, and how to classify financial reports in obtaining a capital strategy for MSMEs. Almost all MSMEs in Dau Village do not comply with the assistance and expectations of the village government. So the community does not have access to capital from BUMN or the government.
Business problems in the conditions of war
Authors: PETRYSHYN Nataliia , NODZHAK Liubov , DANYLYSHYN Nataliia , KOLOMIIETS Tetiana
Published: January 2025

Introduction. War is a complex phenomenon that is determined by many elements of public policy, including political, social, historical and, of course, economic. Supporting and rebuilding domestic enterprises is important because they make up a significant part of the country's economy, which in turn provides the resources needed to fight the war. Without a strong economy, it is impossible to provide the army with weapons, ammunition, food and other necessary resources.
The purpose of the paper is to investigate how the hostilities and destruction have affected the continuity of production, supply chains and product quality. Determine the extent of damage to production facilities, infrastructure and equipment. Determine how quickly and efficiently enterprises can rebuild their production lines and switch to new products. Identify the key factors that facilitate or impede the resumption of production and development of enterprises.
Results. Due to the war, many businesses were unable to withstand the economic hardships and were forced to shut down. Even a year and a half after the introduction of martial law, most of them have not yet resumed their operations in full. Ukrainian businesses faced such challenges as instability as the war makes it difficult to predict future economic development, the shrinking domestic market and reduced purchasing power led to a significant reduction in demand for goods and services. The operations of businesses were also affected by risks associated with government policies, limited access to finance and a shortage of skilled personnel due to people leaving the country and mobilization.
Conclusion. The main task of the state is to develop a strategy for post-war recovery and development of Ukraine. The strategic plan of reasonable actions developed by the state should optimize processes within the country and establish cooperation at each level. Of particular importance is risk management to minimize and prevent the consequences of their impact on the optimal functioning of the enterprise. Ukraine's reconstruction will be carried out both with domestic resources and with the involvement of foreign investment.
Historical development of criminal liability for violation of the inviolability of the home
Authors: RONE Anton
Published: January 2025

The paper examines the historical development of criminal liability for violation of the inviolability of housing and distinguishes three periods of its historical development: I. Origins of criminal liability for violation of the inviolability of housing (X century – t he first alf of the XIX century.), Which are characterized by non-separation of criminal liability among other types of legal liability, fragmentary or property of a person, and not a violation of his right to privacy, reflected in the rules of law of the caste nature of society; ІІ. Establishment of criminal-legal protection of the inviolability of the home (second half of the XIX – first half of the XX century), characterized by two successive trends, in particular, the introduction of criminal-legal protection of privacy, including the inviolability of housing, in Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires, II Rzeczpospolita, which included Ukrainian territories, and, conversely, its absence in the criminal law of the USSR, as the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of 1922 and the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of 1927 did not provide rules on liability for violations; III. Establishment of criminal liability for violation of the inviolability of housing (second half of the XX - present), which is characterized by enshrining relevant provisions in the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of 1960 and the Criminal Code of Ukraine in 2001, and the right to inviolability of housing is a constitutionally recognized human right introduction into the criminal law norm of violation of the inviolability of housing of such a form of the objective party as illegal inspection and search, which is an additional guarantee of protection of the rights of the individual in criminal. It is proposed to consider the provision of criminal liability for violation of the inviolability of housing from the point of view of recognition and protection of this right.

Published: January 2025

In South Africa, the translation of democratic principles into actionable classroom management strategies presents a significant challenge, particularly within teacher-educator training programmes. This study explores the practices and perceptions of student-teachers and lecturers regarding democratic classroom management practices at a university in South Africa. The research is framed by critical theory as its theoretical foundation and adopts a transformative research paradigm within a qualitative research approach. A participatory research design is utilised, with data collected through observation and semi-structured interviews involving 10 student-teachers and 5 lecturers at a selected university in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Thematic analysis indicates that some classrooms predominantly employ traditional lecture-based approaches, characterised by limited student engagement and minimal use of participatory methods, while others exhibit efforts to cultivate a more inclusive and interactive learning environment. The findings reveal that students place a high value on feeling heard and respected, advocating for active participation in decision-making processes. Conversely, lecturers underscore the empowering nature of democratic management in fostering student ownership of education and collaborative learning environments. The research identifies challenges in translating theory into practical techniques due to student reluctance and highlights the positive effects of providing students with opportunities for decision-making in class activities. Furthermore, the study emphasises the importance of flexibility and adaptability in the implementation of democratic practices. In conclusion, the research posits that effective democratic management is contingent upon nurturing a collaborative environment in which students feel empowered, while also ensuring alignment with educational objectives.
An Indication of Gas Inflow in Clumpy Star-forming Galaxies near z ∼ 1: Lower Gas-phase Metallicities in Clumpy Galaxies Compared to Nonclumpy Galaxies

Published: January 2025

Despite the ubiquity of clumpy star-forming galaxies at high-redshift, the origin of clumps are still largely unconstrained due to the limited observations that can validate the mechanisms for clump formation. We postulate that if clumps form due to the accretion of metal-poor gas that leads to violent disk instability, clumpy galaxies should have lower gas-phase metallicities compared to nonclumpy galaxies. In this work, we obtain the near-infrared spectrum for 42 clumpy and nonclumpy star-forming galaxies of similar masses, star formation rates, and colors at z ≈ 0.7 using the Gemini Near-Infrared Spectrograph (GNIRS) and infer their gas-phase metallicity from the [N ii]λ6584 and Hα line ratio. We find that clumpy galaxies have lower metallicities compared to nonclumpy galaxies, with an offset in the weighted average metallicity of 0.07 ± 0.02 dex. We also find an offset of 0.06 ± 0.02 dex between clumpy and nonclumpy galaxies in a comparable sample of 23 star-forming galaxies at z ≈ 1.5 using existing data from the FMOS-COSMOS survey. Similarly, lower [N ii]λ6584/Hα ratios are typically found in galaxies that have more of their UVrest luminosity originating from clumps, suggesting that clumpier galaxies are more metal-poor. We also derive the intrinsic velocity dispersion and line-of-sight rotational velocity for galaxies from the GNIRS sample. The majority of galaxies have σ
0/v

c
 ≈ 0.2, with no significant difference between clumpy and nonclumpy galaxies. Our result indicates that clump formation may be related to the inflow of metal-poor gas; however, the process that forms them does not necessarily require significant, long-term kinematic instability in the disk.
Increased Surface Temperatures of Habitable White Dwarf Worlds Relative to Main-sequence Exoplanets
Authors: Shields Aomawa L. , Wolf Eric T. , Agol Eric , Tremblay Pier-Emmanuel
Published: January 2025

Discoveries of giant planet candidates orbiting white dwarf (WD) stars and the demonstrated capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope bring the possibility of detecting rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of WDs into pertinent focus. We present simulations of an aqua planet with an Earth-like atmospheric composition and incident stellar insolation orbiting in the HZ of two different types of stars—a 5000 K WD and main-sequence K-dwarf star Kepler-62 (K62) with a similar effective temperature—and identify the mechanisms responsible for the two differing planetary climates. The synchronously rotating WD planet's global mean surface temperature is 25 K higher than that of the synchronously rotating planet orbiting K62, due to its much faster (10 hr) rotation and orbital period. This ultrafast rotation generates strong zonal winds and meridional flux of zonal momentum, stretching out and homogenizing the scale of atmospheric circulation, and preventing an equivalent buildup of thick, liquid water clouds on the dayside of the planet compared to the synchronous planet orbiting K62, while also transporting heat equatorward from higher latitudes. White dwarfs may therefore present amenable environments for life on planets formed within or migrated to their HZs, generating warmer surface environments than those of planets with main-sequence hosts to compensate for an ever shrinking incident stellar flux.
The first Permian Diaphanopterodea (Insecta, Megasecopteromorpha) from China

Published: January 2025

A new Diaphanopterodea (Insecta, Palaeoptera, Megasecopteromorpha), Sinoelmoa yangquanensisgen. et sp. nov., is described based on a single specimen discovered from the Shuiquan Gully locality (Shanxi For­­mation; Permian, Cisuralian, Asselian; China). A broad comparative analysis of the wing venation of the known members of the diaphanopterodean families Parelmoidae and Elmoidae allowed assigning the new taxon to the former family. This new occurrence represents the first record of a Permian Diaphanopterodea from China, and both the earliest and most oriental record for the Parelmoidae. It sheds new light on the distribution and diversity of these extinct taxa.
The first neuroanatomical study of a marine pleurodire (the large Paleocene bothremydid Azzabaremys moragjonesi) reveals convergences with other clades of pelagic turtles
Authors: Martín-Jiménez Marcos , Pérez-García Adán
Published: January 2025

Azzabaremys moragjonesi, from the Paleocene of Mali, is a member of Nigeremydini. This is a clade of bothremydid pleurodiran turtles that includes large putatively marine forms which inhabited the African Trans-Saharian Seaway from the Maastrichtian to the Paleocene. This work represents the first neuroanatomical reconstruction of a putative sea pleurodire. Some of the neuroanatomical modifications observed for Azzabaremys moragjonesi differ from those in the other lineages of Bothremydidae in which these structures have been documented, corresponding to freshwater instead of pelagic marine forms. In fact, the primitive condition for Pleurodira is the adaptation to freshwater environments, as is the case with all extant representatives, but also with most documented extinct forms. The neuroanatomy of Azzabaremys moragjonesi shows convergences with that of the members of Pan-Cryptodira with adaptations to marine environments (i.e., Chelonioidea, including Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae), but also with other clades of marine turtles exclusive to the fossil record (i.e., several Mesozoic and Palaeogene clades with uncertain affiliations: Plesiochelyidae, Sandownidae, and Protostegidae). Thus, aspects such as the position of the geniculate ganglion into the canalis cavernosus, the absence of an anterior vidian canal piercing the pterygoid, and the possession of wide semicircular canals of the endosseous labyrinth, as well as the possible presence of enlarged lacrimal glands, are recognized here as convergent modifications developed in Cryptodira, extinct clades with uncertain affiliations, and Pleurodira in response to adaptation to marine environments.

Published: January 2025

Here we describe a new specimen of Archaeopteryx sp. from the lower Tithonian Mörnsheim Formation in the Franconian Alb of Bavaria, Germany. This fossil is the third avialan specimen found in this formation. The skeleton comprises the right forelimb and shoulder as well as fragments of the left forelimb and both hind limbs. The lengths of the humerus and ulna are most similar to those of the Munich specimen of Archaeopteryx. Despite the specimen having been massively altered by late diagenesis, it can be referred to Archaeopteryx sp., based on the morphology of the furcula, coracoid, humerus and radius, as well as a manual ungual, which nests within the morphospace of Archaeopteryx rather than that of Anchiornis. Phylogenetic analyses also support the assignment of the new specimen to Archaeopteryx. Due to the fossil’s state of preservation, as well as the still-unresolved taxonomy of the genus Archaeopteryx on the species level, an identification beyond genus remains impossible.

Published: January 2025

Face au Parlement divisé en trois blocs à la suite des élections législatives françaises de l’été 2024, cet article analyse non tant l’impasse de la situation actuelle que les différents plafonds de verre dont elle résulte : l’incapacité à penser les migrations autrement que sous la forme de la menace, l’incapacité à imaginer l’économie autrement que depuis l’idéologie travailliste, l’incapacité à tirer les conséquences économico-politiques du problème écologique. Sur chacun de ces plafonds de verre, des points d’impacts sont identifiés pour les faire sauter : une vision réaliste des besoins démographiques d’immigration face au vieillissement des la population, une conception pollinisatrice de l’économie, une taxation sur toutes les transactions financières, un emprunt écologique permanent et non-remboursable.
Zombie Props Manifesto

Published: January 2025

Ce manifeste propose d’étudier des situations où des objets issus de la « Pop culture » mondialisée sont accidentellement mis au rebut puis réappropriés par des communautés dans des localités bien particulières. Au-delà de l’analyse d’un simple réemploi, le présent postulat est que la friction entre des évènements industriels et les imaginaires de la culture populaire contribue à éclairer la déliquescence des infrastructures qui les distribuent, grâce à des communautés qui documentent ces situations par des récits situés. Cet article propose le terme de zombie props pour qualifier ces artefacts qui sont médiés par des acteurs locaux comme des objets souvenirs de paysages ayant subi de plein fouet la mondialisation, qui entrent en ruines.

Long-time dynamics for a coupled system modeling the oscillations of suspension bridges
Authors: Liu Yang , Long Xiao , Zhang Li
Published: January 2025

This paper is concerned with a coupled system modeling the oscillations of suspension bridges, which consists of a beam equation and a viscoelastic string equation. We first transformed the original initial-boundary value problem into an equivalent one in the history space framework. Then we obtained the global well-posedness and regularity of mild solutions by using the semigroup theory. In addition, we employed the perturbed energy method to establish a stabilizability estimate. By verifying the gradient property and quasi-stability of the corresponding dynamical system, we derived the existence of a global attractor with finite fractal dimension.
L’ouverture contrastée d’un front écologique dans la Russie post-soviétique : la ceinture verte de Fennoscandie
Authors: Florin Ian
Published: January 2025

Cet article montre comment des acteurs réunis sous la bannière de la ceinture verte de Fennoscandie – la Greenbelt of Fennoscandia (GBF) – ont combiné des discours à propos de l’environnement et des relations internationales pour influer sur la politique de conservation de la nature dans la Russie post-soviétique. Fondé sur une recherche documentaire et près de soixante-dix entretiens, il retrace comment le concept de GBF a motivé et justifié l’ouverture d’un front écologique le long des frontières entre la Russie, la Finlande et la Norvège au nom de la protection d’une nature qui serait restée intacte du fait des restrictions d’accès imposées durant la guerre froide. Adoptant une perspective de géopolitique critique, il se penche sur la façon dont la conservation de l’environnement est mise au service de la politique de voisinage européenne, qui vise à faire de la Russie un partenaire diplomatique privilégié en l’aidant à opérer une transition vers le modèle de la démocratie libérale.
Représentations du clergé chiite irakien chez les fonctionnaires britanniques de la fin de l’occupation aux premières années du mandat (1918-1924)
Authors: Yakoubi Myriam
Published: January 2025

Cet article propose d’analyser l’exclusion politique du clergé chiite irakien dans les premières années du mandat à la lumière des représentations de l’islam chiite et de ceux qui l’incarnaient en Irak chez les fonctionnaires britanniques. Leurs écrits révèlent en effet un substrat culturel défavorable aux rituels du chiisme et à la composition hiérarchique de son clergé, des préjugés dont les fondements historiques peuvent être liés à la construction de l’identité nationale britannique en tant que puissance protestante. Dans le contexte du bras de fer qui s’engagea entre la puissance impériale et le clergé chiite qui s’opposait au mandat, l’islam chiite devint synonyme d’obscurantisme moyenâgeux tandis que l’islam sunnite, incarné par les élites prêtes à coopérer avec les Britanniques, apparaissait comme une forme d’islam plus éclairée qui accompagnerait la marche du pays vers l’idéal de progrès et de modernité censé être porté par le mandat britannique.

Published: January 2025

Background: Mathesia is a hydro-alcoholic emulsion, colourless and somewhat viscous, based on extracts of medicinal plants and  containing saponins, polyphenols, tannins, and reducing sugars. In this study, we proposed to carry out an in vitro study of the  antibacterial activity of phytomedicine Mathesia on strains of bacteria isolated from diabetic foot ulcers and chronic wounds of patients in  care in the University Clinics and the Hospital Centre of Mont Amba in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Methodology: This in vitro study was carried out in the bacteriology laboratory of the Higher Institute of Medical Technology of Kinshasa  from February to June 2022. The Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method on MuellerHinton agar was used for antibacterial assay of different  concentrations of Mathesia on 7 different Grampositive and Gram-negative bacterial species isolated from chronic wounds. The  minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Mathesia for the isolates was determined by broth dilution method on Mueller Hinton broth  media.
Results: The results from this study showed that Mathesia has an inhibitory effect upon the 7 bacterial species at MIC value of less  than 100 μg/ml. The lowest MIC value of 1.95 μg/ml was obtained against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and  Proteus species.
Conclusion: The results obtained in this study corroborate previous studies which demonstrated effectiveness of  Mathesia on Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes and Aspergillus species. This activity could also be justified by the presence of phenolic  acids, tannins and flavonoids which possess antibacterial properties.

Authors: Okwuanaso C. B. , Onyemelukwe N. F. , Ofodile C. A.
Published: January 2025

Background: There is a public health concern about carriage of Enterobacterales among food workers and their potential role for transmission of food-borne illnesses. Food contamination by Enterobacterales could happen at any point of the production, processing, distribution, and preparation processes. This challenge is especially severe in developing countries like Nigeria. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and pattern of carriage of Enterobacterales by food handlers in Nnewi metropolis, southeast Nigeria.Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study that employed a non-probability sampling technique to recruit 178 food handlers who gave their consent and were available at the sampling area during the time of the study. Stool, urine, nasal and hand swab samples were collected from 115, 116, 120 and 173 food handlers respectively for microbiological analysis using conventional culture isolation and biochemical identification by Analytical Profile Index (API) 20E (bioMérieux). The antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolates was carried out on the identified isolates by the disk diffusion method. Descriptive statistics were carried out on the data.Results: Forty-four (25.4%) of the hand swab samples from 173 food handlers, 39 (32.5%) of the nasal swabs from 120 food handlers, 67 (58.3%) of the stool samples from 115 food handlers, and 29 (25.0%) of the urine samples from 116 food handlers, were positive for Enterobacterales isolates. The frequency of Enterobacterales isolation was significantly higher from stool samples compared to other samples (x2=40.032; p<0.0001), indicating a higher carriage rate in the gastrointestinal tracts of the food handlers. Across all the samples, a total of 179 Enterobacterales were isolated from the 101 (56.7%) positive food handlers. The frequency of isolation in descending order is Escherichia coli 23.2% (n=41), Klebsiella spp 18.1% (n=32), Enterobacter spp 15.3% (n=27), Citrobacter spp 10.7% (n=19), Raoultella spp 7.3% (n=13), Serratia spp 5.6% (n=10), Salmonella spp 3.9% (n=7), Kluyvera spp 3.9% (n=7), Shigella spp 2.8% (n=5), Proteus spp 2.8% (n=5), Cronobacter spp 1.7% (n=3), Erwinia spp 1.1% (n=2), Pantoea spp 1.1% (n=2), Hafnia spp 1.1% (n=2), and Yersinia spp 1.1% (n=2). The Enterobacterales isolates were resistant to cefotaxime (83.0%), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (79.1%), cefuroxime (76.8%), cefixime (75.1%), imipenem-cilastatin (74.6%), ceftazidime-avibactam (73.3%), ceftriaxone-sulbactam (71.2%) and levofloxacin (70.5%).Conclusion: Food handlers in this study had a high carriage rate of resistant Enterobacterales pathogens, which can be transmitted to unsuspecting consumers, through the food processing and handling chains.
Additional chapter for evaluation indeterminate limits of functions and series in teaching mathematics for engineering education
Authors: Dinçkal Çiğdem
Published: January 2025

Infinity divided by infinity, zero divided by zero, one divided by zero are the most important indeterminate forms obtained when  evaluating limits for single variable functions and series. Well-known method; L' Hôpital rule has been employed to simplify and resolve  these indeterminate forms' limits such that 0/0, ∞/∞ , 1/0 in terms of quotients of their derivatives. In some cases, L' Hôpital rule is  applied more than once to solve indeterminate limits. Besides, it is so complicated to take the derivative for some functions of a single  variable and series, so L' Hôpital rule is ineffective and not practical to solve limits with indeterminate forms for those functions and  series. L' Hôpital rule is also impractical for the indeterminate limits in the form: - ∞∙0By considering all these facts, new approaches  including Central Finite Difference (CFD), Forward Finite Difference (FFD), Backward Finite Difference (BFD), High Accurate Central Finite  Difference (HACFD), High Accurate Forward Finite Difference (HAFFD), High Accurate Backward Finite Difference (HABFD) methods are  presented that provides efficient ways to solve these limits. Taking derivative is not required in all approaches. HACFD with step size:  0.0001 is the most preferred technique here to obtain exact results among all other techniques.

SSA the small saving scheme has proved to be a relief to an extend for the parent’s/ guardians of the girl child. The policy of "Beti bachao, beti Padhao," which aims to strengthen the nation by eliminating prejudice against girl children and shattering outdated beliefs about the birth of a girl child in the family, has drawn increased attention since the SSA was introduced. This scheme is guaranteed to draw in more savers with its consistent and higher return rate.
This program contributes to the nation's economic growth by elevating the status of girls and increasing their access to education. As a result, the Indian government must continue to take such actions to improve the lot of the underprivileged and marginalized groups in society as well as others like the jobless. They must take the required actions to live up to the public's expectations for these kinds of programs. The unit comprised parents of the girl child of Chavakkad thaluk of Thrissur district. The sample size taken for the survey was 40 SSY account holders. The sampling technique used in this research is Snowball Sampling. Snowball sampling is a non- probability sampling techniques which is used in reaching the samples that are difficult to find. The objective of the study has been accomplished with the help of primary data collected from 40 respondents. A Google Form was used to send the questionnaire and gather responses. The collected data has been analysed by using various statistical tools pie charts, column chart, weighted average mean and multiple regression..

Leveraging Explainable AI and Multimodal Data for Stress Level Prediction in Mental Health Diagnostics
Authors: Destiny Agboro
Published: January 2025

The increasing prevalence of mental health issues, particularly stress, has necessitated the development of data-driven, interpretable machine learning models for early detection and intervention. This study leverages multimodal data, including activity levels, perceived stress scores (PSS), and event counts, to predict stress levels among individuals. A series of models, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Neural Networks, were evaluated for their predictive performance. Results demonstrated that ensemble models, particularly Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, performed significantly better compared to Logistic Regression. Random Forest achieved an accuracy of 73%, while Gradient Boosting delivered a balanced precision-recall tradeoff with an accuracy of 72%. Gradient Boosting outperformed in identifying high-stress instances, achieving a recall of 70%, making it the most reliable model for stress prediction.

Explainable AI (XAI), which refers to the ability of machine learning models to provide transparent and understandable explanations for their predictions, was employed in this study using SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations). SHAP values revealed that Perceived Stress Score (PSS) had the most significant impact on predictions, followed by event count and activity inference. Higher PSS scores strongly correlated with high-stress predictions, while increased event counts and activity levels were associated with lower stress.

These findings underscore the importance of incorporating behavioral patterns in stress diagnostics and highlight the utility of explainable models in improving transparency, trust, and usability for clinical decision-making. This research establishes a robust foundation for deploying interpretable machine learning systems to support mental health diagnostics and enhance clinician decision support.

The study of isobaths characterization in the Cenomanian reservoir of the Muanda field focuses on optimizing petroleum resource management. Using geostatistical techniques and numerical analysis methods, the isobaths of the K, J, I and H layers were mapped. The K layer, the most superficial, is 44 meters thick, while the J and I layers reach 48 meters respectively. This research highlights the spatial variability of isobaths, a key factor in understanding the rapid depletion of the reservoir, which is mainly attributed to the presence of argillites. The lithological heterogeneity, characterized by high clay content, influences reservoir permeability, complicating fluid flow and, consequently, well productivity. The study also subdivided the reservoir into distinct zones according to clay content, revealing that the southwestern zone has a clay content of over 57.42%, while the southeastern zone is less clayey, with a content of less than 41.87%.
The results underline the importance of a geostatistical approach to resource management, identifying target areas for potential interventions such as hydraulic fracturing. This study thus contributes to a better understanding of reservoir dynamics and to the formulation of appropriate strategies for the sustainable exploitation of petroleum resources in the Muanda region.
