A Review on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Authors: Vijay Kumar, Manoj Kumar, Sanju Saini, Mayank Sharma
Published: November 2023

Today’s world is a place where huge amount of data gets collected every day, and it becomes very difficult to handle this data and find meaningful insights from these chunks of data; to find information of a certain trend or to predict upcoming events. These data are processed, mined and analyzed to make it informative, this process becomes very lengthy to be carried out by humans. Hence to make it easier humans have developed techniques to train computers in such a way that they can identify out the information by itself. Artificial Intelligence and machine learning together with other techniques make these tasks come into action. Here we have discussed about what we have learnt and understood about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Immunoreactivity to Campylobacter jejuni in Guillain-Barré syndrome and correlation with ganglioside autoantibody profile: case-control study
Authors: Dutta Dr. Debprasad
Published: November 2023

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is the commonest postinfectious autoimmune peripheral neuropathy of undiscerned etiology. Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is the most widely reported antecedent infection in GBS is. In this case-control investigation, we assessed the contribution of C. jejuni in GBS and ganglioside autoantibody response in a tertiary care hospital in India. This case-control study was performed on 150 treatment-naive patients with GBS and 150 age and sex matched controls from the same community. IgM immunoreactivity for C. jejuni was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in sera of patients and control subjects. Autoantibody response was evaluated for single ganglioside targets GM1, GM2, GD1a, GD1b, GT1b, GQ1b as well as all possible heterodimeric complexes in patients’ sera. The immunoreactivity against C. jejuni was compared between demyelinating and axonal subtypes of GBS. C. jejuni infection was found in 48/150 (32%) of GBS patients compared to 4/150 (2.7%) of controls. This garners evidence of significantly higher immunoreactivity against C. jejuni (p<0.001, OR=17.170 CI=6.005-49.128) in the patient group compared to controls. However, the anti-C. jejuni immunoreactivity was not found to significantly differ between demyelinating and axonal subtypes of GBS (P=0.585, OR=0.79, CI=0.342-1.832). Further, C. jejuni-preceded patients demonstrated no association with any specific single ganglioside or ganglioside complex (GSC) autoantibodies. In this large case-control study, C. jejuni was observed to be an antecedent trigger of GBS and ascertaining a significantly higher prevalence among patients than controls.

Tindakan Pastoral Kontekstual terhadap Praktik Jual-Beli Tanah di Sumba
Authors: Panjaitan Firman , Nangi Kewa Marianus
Published: November 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan hendak mengulik pergumulan yang terjadi dewasa ini di tengah masyarakat Sumba, khususnya mengenai maraknya penjualan tanah yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat Sumba kepada para pendatang. Hal ini bisa terjadi karena tidak adanya pemahaman yang benar tentang arti dan makna teologis, baik secara Alkitabiah maupun melalui agama/religi Marapu, yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat Sumba. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang dijabarkan melalui pendekatan netnografi dan pembacaan lintas tekstual, penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan bahwa dalam pandangan Alkitabiah maupun agama Marapu ditemukan ajaran tentang kesatuan yang mutlak antara Allah, manusia dengan tanah. Di satu sisi hidup manusia dan tanah senantiasa ada dalam kait kelindan dan keduanya saling bergantung satu sama lain, dan di sisi lain hidup manusia dan tanah sangat bergantung kepada Allah. Masyarakat Sumba harus memahami hal ini, sehingga pemahaman yang benar tentang tanah yang ditinjau secara Teologi melalui sudut pandang Alkitab dan agama Marapu (budaya Sumba) harus dimiliki oleh masyarakat Sumba. Dengan demikian masyarakat Sumba tidak akan mudah untuk menjual tanah mereka, sebagai bentuk kepatuhan mereka kepada Allah (Marapu, Sang Khalik)

The Value of Data‐driven Category Management: A Case for Teaching Data Analytics to Purchasing and Supply Management Students
Authors: Patrucco Andrea S. , Schoenherr Tobias , Moretto Antonella
Published: November 2023

As companies look to differentiate themselves with the help of their suppliers, the need for robust and sophisticated purchasing and supply management (PSM) processes that allow for informed decision‐making becomes increasingly important. These processes often rely on sophisticated data analytics to inform the design of a company’s category management strategy, such as its supply network design, its supplier relationship management, and its supplier performance management. Therefore, data analytics skills are crucial for PSM professionals. To foster these skills, we developed an innovative approach for teaching students how to use data analytics tools and techniques in PSM through the use of a teaching case called “Savingtools.” This case, developed in collaboration with a company undergoing a PSM transformation, illustrates the value of data‐driven category management in PSM. The case further demonstrates the principles and tools related to PSM data management, spend analysis, and classification, and allows for in‐depth data analysis, including visualizations. Our approach has been shown to effectively enhance student learning and comprehension, and we believe that it prepares future supply chain leaders while advancing PSM pedagogy.

Published: November 2023

The issue of increasing the number of facts of legal significance that can be delegated to a notary is being investigated. Taking into account the indisputable nature of the recovery of writ proceedings, it is proposed to expand the list of requirements for a notary to make an executive inscription to the extent similar to the requirements for which it is possible to issue a court order provided for in Article 122 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. The authors conclude that the potential of unloading the court is in a decrease in its activities of cases in which there is no adversarial nature of the parties and which do not relate to the administration of justice.

EXPANDING THE COMPETENCE OF THE NOTARY IN SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, MALESHIN D.YA.
Published: November 2023

It is wrong to consider cases of special proceedings only as the exclusive competence of the court. The court does not have the opportunity to fully implement the civil procedural form in special proceedings, and there are also no relevant arguments for keeping these cases under the jurisdiction of the court. Therefore, it is expedient to redistribute cases on the establishment of legal facts between the court and other bodies. The advantage of the notary in this case is the availability and timing of consideration. The concept of pre-established evidence, which restricts the free evaluation of evidence, will allow the notary to refer not only a number of cases on establishing legal facts that are currently being considered by the court, but also other cases that are not within the jurisdiction of the court.

MEDIATION AS A WAY TO PROTECT THE RIGHT
Authors:   Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, MIKHAILOVA E.V.
Published: November 2023

Based on the analysis of the legal regulation of mediation, a conclusion was made about its civil, material, extrajudicial nature. At the same time, it is clearly demonstrated that mediation is not mediation regulated by the norms of civil law, since it does not meet the main feature of mediation of any kind - a mediator, unlike an intermediary, does not independently carry out legally significant actions. It is proposed to reform the institution of mediation through the rejection of nonprofessional mediators and the creation of a self-regulating and self-financing mediation system in the image and likeness of a notary.

Axiomatizing the Education System: Analysis, Taxonomy or Professional Development?
Authors:   Education Leadership Consultancy, Budgell Phil
Published: November 2023

The author starts by attempting to Axiomatize the Education System and by clearly outlining what is meant by Axioms and the Axiomatic Method. Essentially. he takes an Axiomatic Approach to defining Axiomatization. He then describes how a facilitated workshop was used to agree the key features of the education system: – a list of short statements (say 100) about education; – cognate groups (say 10) that are used to sort the statements; and – longer statements that describe those groups. The longer statements are initially given the status First Order Axioms, while short statements are given the status of Second Order Axioms. The First Order Axioms were then grouped into: – Fundamental Axioms; – Structural Axioms; and – Functional Axioms. The main body of the paper then clearly articulates: – those First Order Axioms: Pupils; Education; The State; Subsidiarity; The School; Leadership and Management; The Curriculum; Teachers and Teaching; Assessment and Accreditation and Monitoring and Evaluation; along with – the accompanying Second Order Axioms that were generated when the author participated in their own facilitated workshop. The author also provides the diagrammatic overview of the education system that resulted from the facilitated workshop. He concludes that although the approach can be useful, it has its limitations: a number of the key requirements of Axiomatic Systems cannot be met. The education system is so complex that the Axiomatic System derived from an Axiomatic Approach cannot be Consistent and Independent; nor can all the statements be shown to follow logically from statements that are, in turn, the logical result of other statements. The author finally concludes that, although the approach is useful, the terms Axiomatic System and First and Second Order Axioms should be replaced by Taxonomy and First and Second Order Statements. However, he does suggest that developing a Taxonomy of Educational Objectives could be very useful for: – providing an agreed high-level description of the education system; and – in-service education and staff development purposes.

Authors: Gouvêa Ana Luisa Figueira , Carvalho Fabiana Rabe , Nascimento Ana Lucia Rosa , Cosendey Rachel Ingrid Juliboni , Nascimento Camila de Melo Carvalho , Almeida Jorge Reis
Published: November 2023

Introdução: A citologia urinária tem sido utilizada como estratégia de monitoramento dos pacientes transplantados renais, que vivem sob crônica imunossupressão, por ser um método não invasivo e de baixo custo. A detecção precoce de infecções pode prevenir possíveis disfunções e perda do enxerto. No entanto, a sua utilização tem decrescido. Métodos: Realizamos um estudo prospectivo em amostras de urina provenientes de 29 pacientes consecutivos, submetidos ao transplante renal ao longo de um período contínuo de 17 meses, coletadas durante seu primeiro ano pós-transplante. Um mesmo técnico preparou as amostras por citocentrifugação, coloração de Papanicolaou e um único patologista as analisou. Amostras positivas para “decoy cells” (DCs) foram preparadas por dois outros técnicos, para análise por microscopia de contraste de fase, estudo ultraestrutural e imunofluorescência (antígeno T SV40). Resultados: Foram avaliadas 252 amostras de urina de 26 pacientes. Duas amostras consecutivas (0,8%) dentre cinco, de uma mesma paciente (3,8%), referentes à quarta e quinta semana pós-transplante, apresentaram lesão intraepitelial escamosa de baixo grau; na amostra referente ao sexto mês pós-transplante foram detectadas apenas raras células epiteliais com atipias de significado indeterminado (0,4%); o posterior exame ginecológico da paciente e teste de Papanicolaou não revelaram alterações. Pseudohifas e esporos fúngicos foram encontrados em cinco amostras (2,0%) de quatro pacientes (15,4%). Trichosporon sp. foi identificado na urina de um desses pacientes. Decoy cells foram detectadas em 25 amostras (9,9%) de seis pacientes (23,1%). Dois pacientes tiveram eliminação sustentada de DCs; um deles, apresentando esfregaço de fundo sujo, desenvolveu Nefropatia associada ao poliomavírus. O estudo ultraestrutural das DCs mostrou partículas virais icosaédricas. A imunofluorescência (antígeno T SV40) foi positiva nos núcleos das DCs. A análise por microscopia de contraste de fase foi bem-sucedida em amostras com numerosas DCs. Conclusão: A citologia urinária sistemática após o transplante é útil na detecção de alguns sinais de infecção. Pacientes com eliminação sustentada de DCs e esfregaços de fundo sujo merecem atenção clínica especial. A microscopia eletrônica e a imunofluorescência (antígeno T SV40) são técnicas alternativas para detectar a reativação do poliomavírus. Os resultados sugerem que a citologia urinária ainda desempenha um papel no transplante renal.

In Bangladesh, one of the world’s poorest nations, a significant share of the deprived inhabitants are elderly women who live in rural regions with little access to healthcare. The primary goal of this investigation was to analyse the determinant of healthcare services for aged women in rural Bangladesh. This study was conducted using survey research method through interview schedule. It was carried out in four villages in the Satkhira district. It was followed by purposive sampling and a sample size of 260 was selected. The study revealed that 53.1 percent of the respondent took medical help promptly during the time of illness. Besides this 73.1 percent of the respondent took medical care from a qualified doctor and only 42.2 percent of the respondent get the old allowance. However, nature of the treatment was influenced by the distance to get health facility (p<.001) and response in seeking health care (p<.001). The results indicate that the head of the household's year of schooling (p=.001) and monthly household income (p. =001) had a significant link with the response to seeking health care.

Background: The purpose of this research is to study the effect of occupational therapy on the quality of life and pain self-efficacy among chronic disease patients. In this context, differences in quality of life and pain self-efficacy were investigated between patients who have followed occupational therapy and patients who have not followed the program of occupational therapy. Methods: The sample consists of 63 people, all chronic disease patients. Of the above patients, according to the research design, half received occupational therapy services at a rate of 50.8% (32 patients), while the remaining 49.2% (31 patients) did not receive them. For the data collection MVQOLI-15 and PSEQ were used. Results: We found that those receiving occupational therapy services, on average, seem to have comparatively better pain self-efficacy and overall quality of life compared to those not receiving them, while this difference is statistically significant, with the level of statistical significance amounting to α = 5%. Conclusion: The effect of occupational therapy on quality of life and pain self-efficacy in chronic disease patients is crucial.

Background: Over the last few years, the use of potassium bromate in bread has been the subject of many scientific arguments in Libya. The Food and Drug Control Center in Libya banned the use of potassium bromate in bread on account of its deleterious effect and carcinogenicity in humans. However, the current research presents conflicting results on its use in bread. Aim: This study aimed to examine the knowledge and increase awareness among the population about the use of this substance in bread. In addition, it looked at some aspects of bread making in bakeries. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the general population during the period from Feb 2021 to May 2021. An electronic questionnaire was designed using Google Forms and distributed through social media. Results: A total of 500 participants responded to the electronic survey and were included in this study. 79% females and 21% males with an age range from 20–30 years. The majority of participants were from Benghazi (92%) and Libyan nationality (97%). 76% did not have any health problems, whereas 24% had some diseases. 50% of them consumed bread twice a day. Only 12% of participants had awareness about the Libyan standard for bread making, while half of them (51%) did have any knowledge, and about 38% of them did not know any information about these standards. Most of the participants (71%) did have any information about potassium bromate as a food additive. Only 31% of participants reported that potassium bromate is a banned substance, whereas around half of them (52%) did not know that. Most of the participants (65%) did not know the effects of potassium bromate on their health. The majority of them suggested that the health inspection office, municipal guard, and the Ministry of Economy have the responsibility of monitoring the use of food additives in the bakery. Conclusion: This study highlights the low level of knowledge of respondents regarding food additives, especially potassium bromate. Education programs to increase awareness among people are highly recommended. Further scientific investigations are needed.

The effect of chemotherapy on the menstrual cycle changes of patients who have undergone cancer treatment, mainly for breast cancer, was studied. For comparison, patients with nasopharyngeal, leukemia, buccal mucosa, and tongue cancers were also included in the study. The average age of the patients was 38. For breast cancer patients, the treatment was mostly a combination of doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and docetaxel or paclitaxel. Trastuzumab was also used in combination with other drugs for some patients. Appropriate treatments were given to patients with other cancers. This preliminary study was done with a group of 25 patients. Amenorrhea (stoppage of menses) was observed for about 75% of patients. For those patients for whom menses was restarted, it occurred after 1, 4, or 12 months after complete cessation of chemotherapy. No clear differentiation was observed for breast cancer vs. other cancer patients in the stoppage or restarting of menses with chemotherapy. Induction of amenorrhea after the chemotherapeutic intervention can be considered as a clear indication that the drugs are working as expected. Since the observation was made in patients of child-bearing age, the information could be used for counseling similar patients about the possibility of infertility and teratogenicity associated with chemotherapy. This preliminary study shows that the changes in menstrual characteristics upon chemotherapy in South Indian women are like those reported for the Western population. Induction of amenorrhea and resumption of menses after termination of the chemotherapy, the key parameters evaluated in this study, showed similar trends in both populations.

In modern times, a disease known as COVID-19 that is highly contagious is continuing to have a profoundly negative influence on the people of the entire world. The fundamental purpose of the model that has been proposed is to improve its predictive capabilities while also providing an effective model for predicting COVID-19 that has a robust diagnostic. Image scaling and noise reduction are two examples of the types of pre-processing techniques that are used at the very first step. The adoption of picture scaling and median filtering techniques, both of which work to enhance the quality of the input data in preparation for further processing steps, allows this goal to be accomplished. Several distinct data augmentation strategies, like flipping and rotation, are utilized to improve the model's performance on a limited dataset and assist it in better comprehending the differences present in the training data. In this article, we will provide a unique Optimized Architecture for COVID-19 Prediction (OACP) model to classify COVID-19 situations as either positive or negative effectively. Using CXR pictures, this novel method, based on a tunable deep learning technique called DenseNet, may predict the presence of COVID-19-positive patients. Based on the findings, it was determined that the proposed model utilized achieved better outcomes, with an accuracy of 98%.

Managing the increasing number of patients requiring first screening can be significantly aided by real-time automated detection of COVID-19. It's feasible that Deep CNN models that have been trained on sufficiently large datasets will emerge as the most promising options for achieving the goal. This study aims to automatically detect and classify COVID-19 and viral pneumonia infections in chest X-ray images using a deep CNN model. Our proposed model relies on multiclass labeling to accomplish our aims. Design and Organization: Using the ImageNet pre-trained weights, the proposed model is built on top of the VGG16 framework. Additional custom layers were used to fine-tune the model and produce a better overall performance that is more specific to the goal. In terms of its subjects and methods, this study uses 15,153 samples in total. There are X-rays of the lungs from patients with COVID-19, those with viral pneumonia, and healthy volunteers. The entire dataset was split into an 80:20 split for the train and test sets before the model was trained. Image preprocessing and augmentation were used to enhance crucial parts of the photos before they were sent to the model in batches. We measure the model's efficacy with accuracy, precision, recall, and the F1 score. The analysis that was performed statistically was. The model's output is compared to the results of other recent research that have set the standard in the field. The proposed model has a 98% accuracy in multiclass classification on the test dataset, as measured by 98% precision, 96% recall, and 97% F1 score. Receiver operating characteristic curve area scores of 0.99 were achieved in all three multiclass classification situations. Finally, the proposed categorization model may show to be highly useful in the first diagnosis of COVID-19 and viral pneumonia patients, especially when dealing with heavy workloads and large volumes.
Compositionality in Pablo Picassos Poetry
Authors: Mallen Enrique
Published: November 2023

Pablo Picassos poetry expands the expressive power of language through syntactic mechanisms provided in natural grammar. His poems often consist of adjunct phrases, following a technique that recalls his cubist collages. The relation between the nuclei of those phrasal constituents as they come in contact remains open, so that readers are free to establish multidirectional semantic associations between them. His poetry is primarily word-oriented. As Picasso once stated, he wanted to compose his poems with a palette of words, leaving those words free to fight it out among themselves to attain any possible meaning. Such a combinatorial approach to language could be interpreted from the perspective of linear grammars as proposed by Culicover and Jackendoff, Jackendoff and Wittenberg and Culicover.
