Flood Hazard Evaluation Using a Flood Potential Index
Authors: Popescu Nicolae-Cristian , Bărbulescu Alina
Published: October 2023

Areas subject to flooding must be carefully analyzed to make correct measures for preventing disasters that impact the population’s lives and economy. In this article, we propose a flood potential index (FPI) to estimate flood susceptibility, using an optimal selection of weights for the criteria contributing to flooding risk evaluation. Comparisons with the situation when equal weights are assigned to each factor are exemplified in a case study from the Vărbilău catchment (Romania). The study reveals the necessity of an objective factor weighting choice for determining the flooded zones. The results are validated with the available data from the Romanian Waters Institute.
The effect of physicochemical properties on paracetamol photodegradation in cuboid bubble column
Authors: Hamad Khalil Ashwan , Alwasiti Asawer , Abdulrzaak Jenan , Shalal Abbas
Published: October 2023

Paracetamol is one of the most anthropogenic micropollutants, and their removal from the environment often requires a specialized method of remediation. In this study, a photocatalyst technique aided with air bubbles was used to degrade the pharmaceutical pollutant paracetamol (PCT) from the water via the COD test and HPLC analysis under different operating conditions. The experiments were carried out in a semi-batch rectangular bubble column with dimensions of 1500 mm height, 30 mm depth, and 200 mm width under UV light. Titanium oxide (TiO2) was used as a source of catalyst. The effect of operating conditions of pH (3-10), air flow rate (0-2) L/min, salinity of solution represented by NaCl concentration (0-1000) mg/L, and 240 min irradiation time on the paracetamol removal were studied. The Box–Behnken design was adopted to study the individual effects of pH (A), air flow rate (B), and salinity (C) and their interactive effects. From the experimental and regression data, a second-order polynomial regression model is predicted, and the variance analysis of the regressions shows that the linear terms (A and B), and all quadratic terms (A, B, and C) have significant effects on the removal percentage of COD. According to numerical optimization, the greatest %COD removal is 76.7 in the process conditions of 5.3 pH, 1L/min, and 269 mg/L of NaCl. The experimental results show that the maximum %COD removal was 78% at pH=7, 1L/min, and 0mg/L of NaCl. HPLC analysis shows 91.2% of paracetamol degradation.
La Mediación Penal: Una propuesta restaurativa para mitigar la violencia de género y pareja en Chile
Authors: González Ramírez Isabel , Vargas Ugalde Johanna
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo pretende analizar bajo qué condiciones la justicia restaurativa, a través de su mecanismo más usado -la mediación penal-, es una opción válida para mitigar y prevenir las consecuencias de los delitos de violencia de género y pareja en Chile, mejorando la seguridad futura de las víctimas, para lo que se ha usado una metodología cualitativa, exploratoria-descriptiva, que permite identificar los factores que posibilitan u obstaculizan la incorporación de mecanismos restaurativos en el tratamiento de estos  delitos, dentro del sistema penal acusatorio y de corte continental chileno, concluyendo que, conforme a la oferta que realiza dicho sistema de orientación punitiva y a los resultados obtenidos respecto a dichos delitos, no se ha logrado obtener los fines preventivos esperados y tampoco se han brindado soluciones reparadoras conforme a las expectativas de las víctimas. Por el contrario, se evidencia un aumento sostenido del índice de delitos de amenazas, lesiones y femicidios, por lo cual parece necesario ofrecer un abordaje integral y sistémico, que prevenga la escalada de violencia y considere los aspectos íntimos y relacionales entre hombres y mujeres. Así, los mecanismos restaurativos, como la mediación penal, emergen como una opción intra-judicial y sustitutiva al proceso penal, sirviendo como complemento y alternativa plausible de reparación.

Investigation into the Chemical Characteristics of Soils near Sinkholes Situated in Anambra State, Nigeria
Authors: IU Chibuogwu , GZ Ugwu
Published: October 2023

In this comprehensive study, we delve into the chemical properties of soil in the proximity of sinkholes located in Anambra state of Nigeria. Three distinct sinkhole sites were selected for examination: Awka site 1 (6.2232°N and 7.0824°E), Awka site 2 (6.2220°N and 7.0819°E), and Agulu (6.0941°N and 7.0203°E). For a comprehensive analysis, 24 soil samples were meticulously collected and subjected to thorough analysis. These samples comprised of 15 specimens obtained from the immediate vicinity of the sinkholes, while 9 samples were procured from locations situated at least 2 kilometers away from the sinkhole sites. The study focused on investigating various parameters, namely pH levels, Organic Carbon (OC) content, Organic Matter (OM) content, Aluminum (Al) levels, Hydrogen (H) levels, Total Nitrogen (TN) content, Magnesium (Mg) levels, Potassium (K) levels, Sodium (Na) levels, Calcium (Ca) levels, Effective Cation Exchange Capacity (ECEC), Base Saturation, and soil texture. The obtained results revealed that the study areas predominantly exhibited a sandy composition with a notably low clay content. Furthermore, the analysis indicated low hydrogen values, while sodium levels were observed to be relatively high. Consequently, certain areas, particularly those situated farther away from the sinkhole site, exhibited a reduced amount of exchangeable bases and effective cation exchange capacity. This phenomenon potentially resulted in leaching and dispersion within the soil, leading to inadequate water infiltration and subsequent run-off. Notably, this process may have contributed to the formation of tunnel erosion, ultimately resulting in the emergence of sinkholes.

A detailed analysis of regulatory documents for furniture panels was made. The regulatory framework for furniture panels was analyzed, in particular the following documents: DSTU EN 12775:2004. Wooden shields. Classification and terminology (EN 12775:2001, IDT), DSTU EN 13017-1:2004, DSTU EN 13017-2:2004, DSTU EN 13354:2009, DSTU EN 14080:2013. It was found that the quality of furniture boards is determined according to DIN EN 13017-1:2000 (DSTU EN 13017-1:2004 – for softwoods) and DIN EN 13017-2:2000 (DSTU EN 13017-2:2004 – for hardwoods ). Furniture boards made of softwood are divided into 5 classes of surface quality (0, A, B, C, S), hardwood - into 3 classes (A, B, C). Quality is determined by the best side, and when marking, two sides are indicated - front and back (for example, A/B). It was determined that the most common defects that affect the quality of furniture boards are knots, cracks, skewness and others that are classified according to DSTU 2152-93 and measured according to EN 1310:1997 (DSTU EN1310:2005). The spheres of use of furniture boards are established, which are classified according to EN 13353:2008 into 3 classes: SWP1 (in dry conditions): SWP2 (in wet conditions): SWP3 (in atmospheric conditions). The main types of furniture panel designs produced by domestic and European enterprises are analyzed. It has been established that on the market of Ukraine, the most common recommendations for the manufacture of a furniture panel are the following species: oak, beech, ash and pine with the following most typical dimensions for the dimensions of this panel material: thickness 18, 20, 28, 30 and 40 mm, width - 300 , 600, 900 and 1200 mm and 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 mm long. It is planned to carry out a more in-depth analysis of the study of the change in shape of single-layer wooden shields of 5 thicknesses (18, 23, 30, 37 and 42 mm) with the widths of sections of lamellas of 20, 32, 50, 68 and 80 mm, and the lengths of these sections — 150, 322, 575, 828 and 1000 (solid-lamella shield) mm, when they are affected by temperature and humidity factors.

Implicit Quiescent Optical Solitons for the Dispersive Concatenation Model with Nonlinear Chromatic Dispersion by Lie Symmetry
Authors: Adem Abdullahi Rashid , Biswas Anjan , Yildirim Yakup , Asiri Asim
Published: October 2023

The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate and recover implicit quiescent optical solitons in the context of the dispersive concatenation model in nonlinear optics. Specifically, the study focuses on a model that incorporates nonlinear chromatic dispersion and includes Kerr and power-law self-phase modulation effects. The objective is to identify and characterize these soliton solutions within this complex optical system. To achieve this purpose, we employ the Lie symmetry analysis method. Lie symmetry analysis is a powerful mathematical technique commonly used in physics and engineering to identify symmetries and invariance properties of differential equations. In this context, it is used to uncover the underlying symmetries of the nonlinear optical model, which in turn aids in the recovery of the quiescent optical solitons. This method involves mathematical derivations and calculations to determine the solutions. The outcomes of the current paper include the successful recovery of implicit quiescent optical solitons for the dispersive concatenation model with nonlinear chromatic dispersion, Kerr, and power-law self-phase modulation. The study provides mathematical expressions and constraints on the model’s parameters that yield upper and lower bounds for these solutions. Essentially, this paper presents a set of mathematical descriptions for the optical solitons that can exist within the described optical system. The present paper contributes to the field of nonlinear optics by exploring the behavior of optical solitons in a model that combines multiple nonlinear effects. This extends our understanding of complex optical systems.
Playing outdoors: What do children do, where and with whom?

Published: October 2023

There is an increasing interest in outdoor play, both in research and in policy. However, in (re)designing, planning and managing the public space, there is still limited attention for children’s actual playing behavior. A lot of urban planning decisions are based on adults’ perceptions of children’s playing behavior and focus on formal play spaces, rather than on their actual behavior and on other, more informal, play places children might also use. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore where children play outdoors, with whom and what kind of activities they are performing there. Between February 2022 and March 2023 1,127 – mainly primary school - children were systematically observed after school in three post-war residential districts in three cities in The Netherlands. The majority of the children were between 5-8 years old (50%). Above the age of 8 years, substantially more boys (70%) than girls (30%) were playing outdoors. Most of the children (79%) were playing with other children, 8% were playing alone. The playground was the most popular play space (36% of the observed children were playing there), followed by public sports fields (14%) and sidewalks (13%). With respect to the type of activities, relaxing (21%) was the most common activity, followed by ball sports (14%), climbing or hanging (11%), swinging (10%), and riding on wheels (9%). This study showed differences in play behavior by gender, age, district and play space and stress the need for a broader definition of play, and for focusing on formal as well as informal play spaces.

MECANISMOS DE IMUNOMODULAÇÃO DESENCADEADOS PELA VITAMINA D NA ESCLEROSE MÚLTIPLA
Authors: Da Silva José Vinícius Magalhães , Rodrigues Michele Aparecida Cerqueira
Published: October 2023

A Esclerose Múltipla (EM) é uma doença inflamatória desmielinizante do Sistema Nervoso Central. A vitamina D (VD) atua na imunomodulação do sistema imunológico inato e adaptativo e sua deficiência é um dos principais fatores de risco para a EM. Outras condições que predispõem para a patologia incluem o tabagismo, obesidade, dieta e o vírus Epstein-Barr. Sendo assim, o estudo de revisão de literatura objetivou discutir os efeitos biológicos da VD que levam à imunomodulação na EM. As referências foram provenientes das bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE). Verificou-se que a VD já é bastante compreendida e conhecida por suas ações de controle e metabolismo do cálcio e fosfato. Mais estudos são necessários para analisar as funções que a VD desempenha enquanto hormônio imunomodulador na fisiopatologia da EM, bem como outras doenças autoimunes. Estudos apontam que a VD favorece a imunomodulação ao promover a remielinização, promove a diferenciação e proliferação em oligodendrócitos e a proliferação e diferenciação em célula precursora de oligodendrócitos (OPCs). É destacado na literatura a vasta localização de receptores para a VD e enzimas que metabolizam a VD em diversos tipos celulares do sistema imunológico que abarcam as células dendríticas, macrófagos, linfócitos e monócitos. Logo, mais estudos precisam ser desenvolvidos para correlacionar a VD com os seus benefícios de neuroproteção, prevenir formas incapacitantes e progressivas da EM.

Surrounded by Giants: Habitable Zone Stability Within the HD 141399 System
Authors: Kane Stephen R.
Published: October 2023

The search for exoplanets has revealed a diversity of planetary system architectures, the vast majority of which diverge significantly from the template of the solar system. In particular, giant planets beyond the snow line are relatively rare, especially for low-mass stars, placing the solar system within a small category of systems with multiple giant planets at large separations. An exoplanetary system of note is that of HD 141399, consisting of a K-dwarf host star that harbors four giant planets with separations extending to ∼4.5 au. The architecture of the system creates a complex pattern of mean motion resonances and gravitationally perturbed regions that may exclude the presence of other planets, including within the habitable zone of the system. Here, we present the results of dynamical simulations that explore the interaction of the known planets of the system, their apsidal trajectories, resonance locations, and dynamical evolution. We further investigate the results of injecting Earth-mass planets and provide the regions of dynamical viability within the habitable zone where terrestrial planets may maintain long-term stability. We discuss these results in the context of the importance of giant planets for volatile delivery and planetary habitability considerations.

Authors: Yürük Atasoy Pınar , Beydoğan Engin
Published: October 2023

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the patients with high liver function test results detected at admission to the hospital diagnosed with COVID-19.
Methodology: Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 by a nasopharyngeal RT-PCR (+) test in the emergency department were included in the study. CRP, liver function tests, and abdominal ultrasonography (US) findings of the patients were recorded.
Results: A total of 367 COVID-19 patients, 254 (69.2%) males and 113 (30.8%) females, with a mean age of 60.39 (16.81) years, were included in the study. It was seen that 236 (68.7%) patients were treated without complications, 131 (35.7%) patients needed intensive care, and 81 (22.1%) patients died. The frequency of hepatomegaly was significantly higher in patients with severe course and mortality (p < 0.001). When COVID-19 patients who developed mortality were compared with other patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19, no additional risk factors affecting mortality were detected, except LDH [OR: 1.009, (1.006-1.012); p < 0.001] and high CK [OR: 1.001 CI: 95%, (1.000-1.001); p = 0.032].
Conclusions: Patients who need to be hospitalized with COVID-19 and who do not have acute and/or chronic liver disease, elevated liver function test results, and an increase in liver sizes at presentation, it was seen that these did not have an effect on the clinical outcome. However, in addition to the presence of advanced age and comorbidity, the presence of hepatomegaly measured by CT at admission, and high LDH and CK levels were associated with poor clinical outcomes.

The prevalence of post-COVID condition showed a statistically significant relationship with the time of infection, duration of illness, treatment place, use of herbal medicine, adherence to the 5K message from Vietnam's Ministry of Health, and daily saltwater mouthwash (p < 0.05). However, the use of medicine and supplements was not related to the post-COVID condition (p > 0.05). After 6 months, 125 participants were interviewed face-to-face, and only 15 people (12.0%) reported having post-COVID symptoms, mainly prolonged fatigue (33.3%) and persistent cough (26.7%). After 9 months, these 15 patients no longer had symptoms related to the post- COVID-19 condition.
Conclusions: The post-COVID condition can persist for several weeks or months, but will mostly be in remission after 6 months, and completely resolve after 9 months from the onset of the infection.

Introduction: The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has presented several opportunities to ease human work. AI applications are available for almost every domain of life. A new technology, Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), was introduced by OpenAI in November 2022, and has become a topic of discussion across the world. ChatGPT-3 has brought many opportunities, as well as ethical and privacy considerations. ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) which has been trained on the events that happened until 2021. The use of AI and its assisted technologies in scientific writing is against research and publication ethics. Therefore, policies and guidelines need to be developed over the use of such tools in scientific writing. The main objective of the present study was to highlight the use of AI and AI assisted technologies such as the ChatGPT and other chatbots in the scientific writing and in the research domain resulting in bias, spread of inaccurate information and plagiarism.
Methodology: Experiments were designed to test the accuracy of ChatGPT when used in research and academic writing.
Results: The information provided by ChatGPT was inaccurate and may have far-reaching implications in the field of medical science and engineering. Critical thinking should be encouraged among researchers to raise awareness about the associated privacy and ethical risks. 
Conclusions: Regulations for ethical and privacy concerns related to the use of ChatGPT in academics and research need to be developed.

BACKGROUND: The high mortality rate of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (CKD-HD) is influenced by the high number of cardiovascular-induced death and blood pressure variability (BPV).
AIM: The aim of this study is to understand the association between frailty status and intradialytic BPV.
METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study examining patients with CKD who underwent hemodialysis (HD) at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital from August to September 2022. BPV was calculated using the average real variability method and frailty status was assessed based on Frailty Index 40 Item. The association between frailty and systolic BPV was analyzed using the Chi-Square test, followed by logistic regression analysis to exclude the influence of the confounding variable.
RESULTS: Out of 88 subjects recruited, 28.4% (95% CI: 18.98–37.82) were considered frail, 55.7% (95% CI: 45.32–66.08) were pre-frail, and 15.9% (95% CI: 8.26–23.54) were robust. The mean intradialytic BPV was 10.11 (8.60–13.35). It was found that the trend increased along with the rising frailty status, and the mean difference of intradialytic systolic BPV based on the results of Kruskal–Wallis testing had statistical significance. The result of the multivariate analysis revealed an increase in BPV prevalence in patients with pre-frailty (adjusted PR = 1.606, 95% CI: 0.681–3.787) and frailty (adjusted PR = 1.886 (95% CI: 0.783–4.545).
CONCLUSION: Statistically, there is no association between frailty status and intradialytic BPV. However, clinically, a dose-response association was observed, indicating that the higher the frailty status, the higher the prevalence ratio for the occurrence of high BPV.

Pour Marcello Musto, dans Les dernières années de Karl Marx (PUF, 2023), les ultimes efforts intellectuels de l’auteur du Capital , aussi inachevés et fragmentaires soient-ils, laissent voir un penseur curieux de toutes les sociétés qui se tient à distance de tout déterminisme historique.
Sándor Ferenczi. Un amour de psychanalyste
Authors: Lafarge Isabelle
Published: October 2023

La naissance de la psychanalyse a été secouée de tempêtes émotionnelles dont les pionniers ont été les acteurs. Parmi eux, Ferenczi a joué un rôle tragique de premier plan. Aux envolées passionnelles ont succédé les meurtrissures des désillusions, des regrets et de l’amertume. Mais à chaque épisode de cette épopée, Ferenczi a saisi l’occasion de développer une pensée, un concept, une piste théorique, de frayer une voie thérapeutique qui tous trouvent leur place dans la psychanalyse contemporaine. L’article tente d’esquisser les effets dans la théorisation de ses passions pour Freud et la psychanalyse, pour les deux femmes de sa vie et pour trois patientes américaines.
Identification à l’agresseur, pluralité du concept et dimension traumatique
Authors: Lounsky Ida , Bastin Thierry , Vandeskelde Catty
Published: October 2023

L’identification à l’agresseur a fait l’objet d’élaborations très différentes, d’abord par Ferenczi en 1932 et ensuite par Anna Freud en 1936. Celle de Ferenczi relève d’une forme pathologique et gravement toxique, correspondant à une attaque de l’identité du sujet à la suite d’un traumatisme majeur. Anna Freud décrit quant à elle un processus de défense servant à maîtriser les angoisses face à des objets extérieurs perçus comme menaçants. Ce processus est transitoire et finalement structurant. Qu’une identification puisse être aliénante ou structurante dépendrait donc en première approximation de la nature de l’agression, de la place symbolique et affective qu’occupe l’agresseur auprès de l’enfant, et du degré de maturité psychique auquel celui-ci a pu parvenir. Des illustrations dans différents domaines viendront éclairer ces notions.
Rosset, allégateur hasardeux de Montaigne
Authors: Hubert Mathieu
Published: October 2023

À l’appui de sa pensée, Clément Rosset aime s’entourer de certains philosophes et les citer. Montaigne tient une place privilégiée parmi ceux-là, et l’usage qu’en fait Rosset est exemplaire de son ordinaire manière de procéder : il ne le convoque que lorsqu’il s’accorde avec ses propres vues philosophiques, et la parole qui lui est donnée est passée au crible légitimant de la pensée rossetienne. Mais si la pratique rossetienne de l’allégation est quelque peu orientée, elle n’en demeure pas moins singulièrement riche et suggestive, et, en contrepartie de la réduction des singularités des auteurs qu’il cite à quelque commode abstraction, elle offre d’enthousiasmantes perspectives sur l’histoire de la philosophie.
Trail-Running and Ultramarathon: A Multidisciplinary Scoping Review
Authors: Plard Mathilde , Lancelevé Simon , Martineau Aurélien
Published: October 2023

Les recherches sur les courses à pied d’ultra-endurance se multiplient, et témoignent de la popularité de ce sport. Quelles places occupent les sciences humaines et sociales dans la compréhension de cette pratique ? Cet article contribue à préciser la compréhension d’un véritable phénomène de société à partir d’une revue de littérature pluridisciplinaire dans le domaine des sciences humaines et sociales sur l’ultra-trail. Une analyse qualitative systémique de leur contenu permet d’identifier trois thèmes majeurs : 1) Engagement et profils des coureurs d’ultra-trail ; 2) Motivations et expériences de ses participants ; 3) Territoires et événements du trail running. Ces résultats ont permis de synthétiser les travaux réalisés à ce jour et constituent un point de départ pour développer d’autres approches. Il apparaît qu’au-delà des ancrages disciplinaires, les résultats présentés résonnent entre eux autant qu’ils mettent en évidence un certain nombre de paradoxes, ce qui est représentatif de la discipline elle-même. Au vu de ces observations, certaines pistes peuvent être explorées pour approfondir ces approches et ces études.

Red palm olein (RPOL) is naturally rich in antioxidants, yet changes in its antioxidant capacity during storage were uncertain, which limited the application of RPOL in fat-based food products. Therefore, this study incorporated shortenings composed of 0, 5, and 10% (w/w) RPOL into sandwich cookie creams of SCC-0, SCC-5, and SCC-10, respectively, and determined their antioxidant capacity during storage for six months at 20, 30, and 35 ºC. Both SCC-5 and SCC-10 exhibited higher carotene, tocopherol, tocotrienol, and total phenolic content (TPC) than that of SCC-0, yet all SCCs were comparable in their free fatty acid (FFA) and UV-total oxidation values. After six months, the SCCs exhibited low TPC and FFA, yet were high in DPPH scavenging activity. At 20 and 30 ºC, both SCC-5 and SCC-10 oxidized more slowly than that of SCC-0. These findings proved the antioxidant capacity of RPOL, which delayed oxidation reactions in the SCCs during storage.

Published: October 2023

This study evaluates the effect of ultrasound-assisted extraction on the extractability of polyphenols from peanut skins (PS) and their antioxidant, and anticancer activities. The extraction was performed with solid/solvent ratios of 1:20 and 1:30 (w/v) at ultrasound intensity ranging from 5.8 to 15.4 W/cm2 for different extraction times (10, 20, 30 and 40 min). The highest polyphenol yield was 167.46 mg GAE/g dried PS. The most abundant polyphenols were catechin, syringic acid, and vanillic acid. The PS ultrasound extract (PSUE) increased the oxidative stability of sunflower oil by four times its initial level. PSUE possessed high inhibitory activity against MCF-7, HepG-2, HCT-116, and PC-3 cancer cell lines, with IC50 ranging from 1.85 ± 0.13 to 6.1 ± 0.43 μg/ml. In addition, the cytotoxicity of PSUE was examined on HFB4 human normal melanocytes using the MTT assay. These results suggest that PSUE can be used as a natural antioxidant and anticancer agent.

Insulin resistance (IR), which is linked to obesity, is a mechanism associated with metabolic diseases, mainly type 2 diabetes mellitus. Studies have shown that monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties which positively affect IR. This systematic review examined the effects of MUFAs from different sources on IR in obese or overweight patients with or without metabolic syndrome. A search was carried out in the PubMed/Medline and Bireme/VHL databases, and data from 16 studies were analysed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The intervention time ranged from 1 day to 5.2 years. All participants were overweight or obese; some had central obesity, a moderate risk of cardiovascular disease, low high-density lipoprotein levels, altered fasting glucose levels, prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus. This systematic review provides evidence that MUFA-rich diets can improve IR.

Cost estimation for software development is crucial for project planning and management. Several regression models have been developed to predict software development costs, using historical datasets of previous projects. Accurate cost estimation in software development is heavily influenced by the relevance and quality of the cost estimation dataset and its suitability to the software development environment. The currently available cost estimation datasets are limited to North American and European environments, leaving a gap in the representation of other economically and technically constrained software industries. In this article, the authors evaluate the performance of regression models using the SEERA dataset, which highly represents these constrained environments. This study provides insights into selecting regression models for cost estimation in software development. It highlights the importance of using appropriate models based on the specific software development model and dataset used in the estimation process. In the performance evaluations of eight regression models, including elastic net, lasso regression, linear regression, neural network, RANSACRegressor, random forest, ride regression, and SVM, for cost estimation in different software models, along with correlation coefficients and accuracy indicators, were reported. The results showed that SVM and random forest indicated superior performance. However, the elastic net, lasso regression, linear regression, neural network, and RANSACRegressor models also demonstrated exemplary performance in cost estimation.
