Diante do cenário de crescente adoecimento mental oriundo do ambiente laboral, objetiva-se com esse estudo, analisar a forma como a responsabilização do empregador é decidida pela Justiça do Trabalho da 7ª Região, de forma a caracterizar o dever de reparação diante da ocorrência de enfermidades psicológicas no contexto das relações de trabalho. Especificamente, objetiva-se abordar a síndrome de burnout enquanto doença psicológica ocupacional, além da responsabilidade civil e suas respectivas teorias. Para tanto, seguirá uma metodologia de análise documental, considerando uma amostra de 21 decisões judiciais proferidas nos últimos dois anos pela Justiça do Trabalho da referida região, examinando a responsabilidade civil, a produção de provas e a determinação do quantum indenizatório. Desse modo, ao analisar os resultados obtidos, percebe-se que os magistrados reconhecem a responsabilidade civil das empresas pelo adoecimento mental dos empregados, mesmo que a conduta da empresa tenha contribuído de forma mínima para o surgimento ou agravamento da patologia, refletindo a preocupação dos julgadores em proteger a parte mais vulnerável da relação empregatícia. No entanto, observou-se que a definição do valor indenizatório permanece como um aspecto impreciso.
Social network analysis applied at understanding collaboration in software projects
Authors: Miranda Fabio de , Vieira Graglia Marcelo Augusto
Published: August 2024

In the realm of software development, collaboration is important for worker satisfaction, mitigating turnover risks and better design of final products.  The quality of collaboration in teams can indirectly assessed by the interdependence of team members’ designs and the extent of shared authorship within a system. Our goal is to apply Social Network Analysis to visualize collaboration on software teams. This study is situated within the framework of software projects undertaken by undergraduate Computer Science students in a 3-week programming sprint.  Detailed data from the software development process was gathered through Github and further analyzed using a two-mode social network and later a regular social network. Our  results indicate that these techniques help illuminate certain facets of collaboration, such as members that are isolated from the team or collaborators that tend to concentrate too much work.
Can innovation and compliance go together?
Authors: Pinheiro Alan Bandeira , Sampaio Thicia Stela Lima , Rodrigues Rubens Carlos , Nakamura Wilson Toshiro
Published: August 2024

This essay aims to identify the points of congruence and divergence between the need for coexistence of compliance and innovation in companies. This essay discusses how innovation interferes with economic dynamics, and how compliance can be used to control and limit innovation. We identified factors that influence the highest level of compliance and that favor the innovative capabilities of companies. The joint analysis of these factors allowed the elaboration of eight theoretical propositions that connect compliance and innovation, being such coexistence is not an option for companies, but a necessity, exposing an antagonistic and symbiotic relationship between the two themes. We believe that this essay enriches the existing literature by connecting several research that, in a first analysis, do not establish a connection. We propose a conceptual framework with propositions to be empirically tested by future studies. In addition, we were able to expose that compliance has been a neglected term in academic research, requiring further studies on how organizations can benefit from it. We point out the various nuances of possibilities that the symbiotic relationship between compliance and innovation can give rise to. Companies that have innovative processes or partnerships for this purpose must implement compliance in their governance structure, but horizontally, defining people or sectors responsible for carrying out internal and external compliance in an active position, in the various stages of building innovation: development, testing and production. Managers should be aware that compliance should not be so rigid as to restrict freedom, self-direction and promote excessively high costs.
non-parametric systematic review of the literature and future recommendations on the efficiency of the National Innovation System
Authors: Narayanan Elangovan , Ismail Wan Rosmanira , Mustafa Zainol
Published: August 2024

The national innovation system (NIS) is paramount in developing innovative strategies that can boost the competitive advantage of innovations while ensuring their long-term viability on a global scale. This study intended to underscore the scarcity of current research on the efficiency of the NIS operating Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) through a thorough systematic literature review. The researcher categorised the literature accordingly and provided recommendations for future research. The conclusion substantiated that further research on NIS efficiency is required by paying more attention to the extended DEA model, especially bootstrapping, slack-based models, relational networks, dynamic networks, and super efficiency. Such an extended DEA model would provide a more reliable and scientifically proven efficiency values. Nonetheless, non-oriented approaches require more attention  as they enable the researchers to deal with flexible measures in DEA. Since most innovation developments across countries are heterogeneous, using variable return to scale (VRS) is relevant in prospective analyses. The result confirmed a need to give more preference to institutional, infrastructural and market sophistication indicators as input variables, while creative output indicators as output variables in innovation efficiency measurement. These variables are critical in determining the value of innovation efficiency. The result also indicated that future studies focusing on the efficiency of low-middle and low-income countries are imperative. Hence, regardless of the income group of the NIS, a comparative cross-country analysis is needed that permits the NIS to compare themselves with high-calibre innovators and enhance their innovation performance. The comparative analysis would also provide policymakers with valuable data and a global sense of innovation.

Published: August 2024

This research aims to examine the influence of tax expenses, tax haven utilization, foreign ownership and intangible assets on transfer pricing. The population in this study are energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018-2022 period. The sampling method uses a purposive sampling method, with several predetermined criteria, there are 7 companies with observations for 5 years in quarterly reports, so the total sample is 140 data. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis technique with eviews 12 program. The results of the regression test in this research prove that in particular, tax haven utilization and intangible assets have a negative effect on transfer pricing, while tax expenses and foreign ownership have no effect on transfer pricing. Tax burden is no longer a determining factor in a company's transfer pricing transactions, because there is a regulation from the government that requires the use of fair market value in transactions with affiliated parties/parties with special relationships. The amount of tax burden paid by the company cannot guarantee the company to transfer pricing, or it can also be caused by the stricter supervision of tax officers against the company.

Authors: Bestari Dinda , Muliati Indah
Published: August 2024

This research is motivated by the problems that arise in Quran learning for children at TPQ. The Quran Student has called by santri. There is problems with improper pronunciation of makharij al-hurf and also the level of laziness of children to learn the Quran, especially in an era dominated by increasingly sophisticated technology like cell phones, which results in children being less fluent in reading the Quran, so a method of learning the Quran that is by the development and growth of children at this time is applied, namely the Kibar method. The Kibar method is the development of the iqra method which is presented in a more concise, simple and fun form consisting of three series, namely Kibar A, Kibar B and Kibar C. The speciality of this Kibar method is the arrangement of letters that are almost the same shape and sound at the beginning of the lesson, so that children are sensitive to the differences between these letters, another speciality lies in Kibar C which has provided an explanation of tajweed. The purpose of this study is to implement the Kibar method to improve the ability of santri to read the Quran. This research uses qualitative methods with the type of field research. The techniques to collecting data were carried out through interviews, observation and documentation. The results showed that the use of the kibar method at TPQ is effective because it makes students able to read the Quran in a relatively short time and have good and correct pronunciation and the Kibar method does not make santri bored. The proof is that the santris are competing in their ability so that they can continue to the next series of Kibar Method.

ROLE OF PANCREATOJEJUNOSTOMY PROTECTION AS A METHOD OF CONTROLING PANCREATORRHAGIA IN PATIENTS OPERATED ON COMPLICATED CHRONIC PANCREATITIS
Authors: Kanikovskyi Oleh , Pavlyk Ihor , Punko Yuliia
Published: August 2024

Today, the treatment of complicated forms of chronic pancreatitis is an urgent problem that cannot be solved until the end. At the moment, no clear algorithms have been established regarding the timing of surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis. Such a complication as bleeding in the postoperative period from the pancreatic duct is an extremely rare phenomenon, so the lack of experience in the treatment of such complications increases the risk of postoperative mortality. That is why there is an issue of controlling the prevention of postoperative complications.The aim of the study. To evaluate the eﬀ ectiveness of pancreatorrhagia control in patients operated for complicated chronic pancreatitis by pancreatojejunostomy protection using jejunostomy.Material and methods. Out of 256 patients operated for complicated forms of chronic pancreatitis in the surgical clinic of the Department of Surgery of the Medical Faculty № 2 of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsia in the period from 2000 to 2023, there were 7 (2.73 %) patients who had an episode of pancreatorrhagia in the postoperative period. Out of 7 patients, local resection according to Frey was performed in 2 (28.6 %) patients, according to Izbicki – in 1 (14.3 %) patient, modiﬁ cation according to Frey- Izbicki was performed in 4 (57.1 %) patients. Operative intervention in these patients was based on the performance of pancreatojejunostomy followed by its protection with the jejunostomy.Research results. We have developed a technique for forming a longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy on isolated Roux loop followed by Braun’s anastomosis and subsequent formation of a pancreatojejunostomy protection using an enterostomy. This technique makes it possible to control in the early and late postoperative period the appearance of the ﬁ rst signs of pancreatorrhagia in patients after resection surgery for chronic pancreatitis, as well as the possibility of preventing the appearance of pancreatorrhagia.Conclusions. Control of pancreatorrhagia by means of protection of pancreatojejunostomy with the using of an enterostomy in patients operated for complicated forms of chronic pancreatitis makes it possible to stop bleeding with conservative treatment, without using repeated surgical intervention in the early postoperative period.
SORPTION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY AND DESTRUCTIVE PROCESSES
Authors: Polianskyi Igor , Melnyk Ivan , Moroz Petro , Andriets Volodymyr
Published: August 2024

A comparative assessment of the eﬀ ectiveness of the use of sorption technologies in the treatment of inﬂ ammatory and destructive processes of diﬀ erent localization was carried out in 56 patients, of which 34 used sorption technologies, and 22 patients made up the control group. The results of the studies show that it is possible to achieve an eﬀ ective result in the treatment of patients with inﬂ ammatory- destructive processes by a complex combination of local exposure to the area of inﬂ ammation using sorption techniques, which not only create an opportunity to locally aﬀ ect the focus of inﬂ ammation, but also, by sorption of microorganisms and toxins, reduce their local damaging eﬀ ect on tissues and prevent their absorption and generalization. Breaking the chain of endotoxemia at the initial stage of its occurrence can reduce the severity of the inﬂ ammatory reaction, localize it, reduce the manifestations of local action of pathogenic factors, eliminate the danger of their translocation and generalization, prevent the implementation of autocatalytic mechanisms of toxemia, and accelerate the recovery of patients. The use of vulneosorption contributes to the rapid cleansing of wounds, the formation of granulation tissue, accelerates epithelialization from the edges of the wound and the timing of its healing. Studies show that sorption techniques should be an integral part of the complex treatment of patients with inﬂ ammatory- destructive processes, are eﬀ ective in the treatment of patients with inﬂ ammatory- destructive processes of the peritoneal cavity, reduce the translocation and generalization of microorganisms and toxins, and reduce the manifestations of toxemia. Placing sorbents in an infected wound can accelerate its healing time.

History of Socio-Economic Development of the Republic of Abkhazia in 1992–2020
Authors:   Baikal State University, Yeritsyan Inga N.
Published: August 2024

The article examines the socio-economic development of the de facto state of the post-Soviet space, Abkhazia, in historical retrospect from 1992 to 2020. The transition of the Republic of Abkhazia from a “survival economy” to a development economy in 2008 is associated with its recognition by the Russian Federation. This milestone allows for clear tracking of progress in various sectors and directions of the economy, characterized by a nonlinear nature accompanied by numerous contradictions and ambiguities. Among the problems of economic development during the considered period, the article highlights issues such as the international status of the republic, economic and military dependence on the patron state, sanctions from the parent state, trade restrictions imposed by CIS countries, the shadow economy, the need to restore infrastructure after military actions, high emigration rates, low demographic potential, and a shortage of labor force. Nevertheless, a wide range of problems were contained and addressed in various ways, including leveraging the republic’s resource potential.
Industrial Districts in Russian Cities: Anthropological Proportionality
Authors:   Samara State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia, Ilivitskaya Larisa G.
Published: August 2024

Currently, industrial areas play a special role in the space of a modern city. According to a number of researchers, the development prospects of a particular urban locus will largely depend on the optimization of their condition. This study analyzes the first industrial district of Samara, Bezimyanka, focusing on its evaluation as a living space through the lens of anthropological proportionality. This indicator, being one of the significant elements of the cultural examination of complex systems, which include the city, allows us to identify the correspondence between it and the townspeople. The work highlights the objective and subjective aspects of anthropological proportionality. The objective aspect facilitates the diagnosis of Bezimyanka from the perspective of the environment as it exists for individuals, while the subjective aspect examines how it is perceived by residents. The empirical foundation of the research is based on a survey of Samara residents (sample population – 225 people). The analysis reveals both the potential of Bezimyanka as a residential area and the issues that diminish its attractiveness as a living space for its inhabitants.
On Age-Related Changes in Reading Tastes among Female Readers in XIX – Early XX Century Russia Based on Diary Texts
Authors:   Russian Christian Academy for the Humanities named after F.M. Dostoevsky, Salyaeva Elena S.
Published: August 2024

The history of reading in Russia has largely been studied without considering gender aspects, typically within the context of the emergence of the mass reader in the late XIX century. However, the history of female reading remained fixed in texts of personal origin – diaries and memoirs. Dozens of diaries have come down to our time, keeping records of the female reading circle, reading preferences and reading practices in the second half of the XIX – early XX century in Russia. This article is devoted to a particular gender aspect of reading, namely, reader reflection and changes in reader taste during the transition from “childish” reading to adult literature. It is diary entries that help to trace how, as girls grew older, their circle of reading interests also changed.

Authors:   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Khvoshchevskaya Irina V.
Published: August 2024

In this article, the author analyzes how art, religion, and philosophy have influenced the formation of Russia’s spiritual uniqueness. Particular attention is paid to the study of the historical path of Russian art, starting with the baptism of Rus, its influence on national identity and interaction with Western European cultural traditions. The author examines the religious component through the prism of the interaction of the main faiths and their functions in public life, while philosophical thought is represented through the main figures and movements that influenced cultural identity. These principles are analyzed in the context of modern socio-political processes in Russia and their impact on the national cultural scene. The research was conducted using a variety of methods, including historical analysis, cultural-historical approach and comparative method. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that art, since the baptism of Rus, has played a key role in the formation of national identity, reflecting the spiritual values and historical traditions of the country. Interaction with Western European cultural traditions has made it possible to enrich and expand the artistic heritage of Russia. Religion, represented by various denominations, played an important role in public life, shaping the moral and ethical principles of society.
“Toxic Relations”: Asymmetric Interdependence of Russia and Western Countries in the Nuclear Energy Sector
Authors:   Moscow State Institute of International Relations (University) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs  of the Russian Federation, Fedicheva Sofia S.
Published: August 2024

Today international relations are marked by the strengthening positions of major world powers and growing military-political and economic disputes. Despite exacerbating tensions, the level of interdependence in different interstate interaction domains remains high. Relations arising from interdependence are not always equal and are characterised by asymmetry. Using or preventing the use of relative advantages in a particular field of interstate relations is an effective non-military way of increasing political influence of states. The author argues that the US and EU attempts to prevent Russia from harnessing its relative advantages in the nuclear energy sector so that they could increase their own political influence results in escalating interstate rivalry and further conflicts.
The Russian World: A System-Organizational Approach
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Alimov Alexander V. ,   St. John the Theologian Russian Orthodox University
Published: August 2024

The organizational and systemic issues of state governance in various countries and international relations have led to a civilizational crisis in modern times. Our country has become a focal point of contradictions between Western and Russian paradigms. Traditional methods of struggle involve strengthening one’s own positions and weakening the enemy. This article will consider the strengthening of one’s own state as one of the methods of international struggle. To achieve this goal, first of all, it is necessary to form a state structure corresponding to the cultural and historical type of Russian civilization. In this regard, one of the main tasks is to unite a divided society. To solve this problem, the general theory of organization and a system-functional approach are used. As a result, an abstract model of empiriomonism of the Russian world is proposed, where the ideal and material world are combined on the basis of an anthropocentric concept from the inside out towards the truth. In addition, it is proposed to consider the Russian world through the prism of objective and subjective reality, where objective reality is indisputable spiritual and moral values, and subjective reality allows pluralism. In order for the ideal and material world to coexist, it is proposed to consider this model from the point of view of a sphere approach. For further formation of “cores” at the points of fluctuation of the Russian world, it is proposed to create basic concepts in the socio-political, socio-economic and socio-cultural spheres.
The First Principles Calculations of Pt or Au Doping on Improving the Detection of CO by ZnO Using Density Functional Theory
Authors:   Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 26400 Jengka, Pahang, Malaysia, Hussin Nur Hafiz
Published: August 2024

ZnO doped with Pt or Au (Pt/Au-ZnO) exhibits strong gas response at room temperature, making it a promising gas sensing material. Since carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the most hazardous gases in both daily work and life operations, it's critical to develop gas sensors with excellent stability, sensitivity, and selectivity for CO gas. The aim of this study is to investigate the structural and electronic properties of crystal ZnO using CASTEP calculation, and also to elucidate the effect of Pt/Au on ZnO as CO detection with validated functional exchange correlation GGA-PBE that implemented in CASTEP computer code. For each doped material, the composition was changed with 100% of Pt/Au and 0% of O, 80% of Pt/Au and 20% of O, 60% of Pt/Au and 40% of O, 40% of Pt/Au and 60% of O, and 20% of Pt/Au and 80% of O. The geometrical optimization and energy were calculated by GGA-PBE. It is believed that noble metal surface modification of metal oxide is the most practical and efficient way to enhance gas sensing. Because of their strong catalytic activity, noble metal nanoparticles have been demonstrated in multiple studies to enhance ZnO's sensing capabilities. Furthermore, by doping noble metals which are Pt and Au with ZnO, it provides the insight of developing gas sensors for CO detection by determining the formation energy and understanding the energy band structure and the density of states.

In recent years, the application of phase change materials (PCMs) has gained increasing interest due to their potential for energy conservation and thermal comfort in buildings. However, due to a limitation of study on backfilling PCM, only a few studies have examined the effects of backfill materials on ground heat exchanger characteristics. Hence, this research was conducted to identify if paraffin suitable for use as thermal backfill materials, as well as the qualities and performance as thermal backfill materials. Various percentages of paraffin wax (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%) were mixed with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and 10% fly ash to prepare concrete specimens. These specimens were tested for compressive strength, thermal conductivity, heat storage, and thermal stability. The results showed that specimens with 10% paraffin wax content exhibited a 13.63 J/g heat storage capacity and a reduced thermal conductivity of 0.5769 W/m·K, compared to 4.62 J/g and 0.7812 W/m·K for specimens without paraffin. Compressive strength tests revealed that although the presence of paraffin wax reduced compressive strength by 10%, it still increased over time with curing, achieving 48.94 MPa after 28 days. Additionally, specimens with higher paraffin content demonstrated improved thermal stability, with SEM analysis showing reduced porosity and more homogeneous microstructure. These findings indicate that higher paraffin content significantly enhances heat storage capacity, reduces thermal conductivity, and improves thermal stability, effectively managing the thermal load of underground cables. This research demonstrates that paraffin wax can extend the lifespan of underground power cables by maintaining lower temperatures, thereby supporting both engineering and environmental goals through improved thermal performance and energy efficiency.

Biomassa yang berasal dari tanaman pada umumnya mengandung selulosa, lignin, dan xilan yang sebagian besar sebagai buangan sisa dari kegiatan agroindustri. Hasil pengomposan biomassa buangan rami diperoleh tiga isolat mikrofungi yang dikode sebagai FKR-A1, FKR-D5, dan FKR-D17. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah mengetahui potensi isolat mikrofungi berdasarkan aktivitas enzim ligninase, selulase, dan xylanase (lignoseluloxilanotik) dalam mendegradasi biomassa rami. Proses degradasi selulosa serat dan serat kasar rami, serta kulit batang rami sisa dekortikasi menggunakan metode fermentasi terendam (SMF) dengan waktu pengamatan selama 10 hari. Pengamatan secara kualitatif dilakukan untuk mengetahui perubahan karakter morfologi biomassa rami. Pengujian aktivitas enzim ditentukan secara kuantitatif dengan metode asam 3,5-dinitrosalisilat menggunakan spektrofotometri UV-Vis. Standar yang digunakan adalah glukosa dengan reagen dinitrosalisilat serta substrat masing -terdiri dari Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), xilan, dan lignin. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan ketiga isolat fungi yang diidentifikasi sebagai Aspegillus, Penicillium, dan mempunyai aktivitas enzim ligninase, selulase, dan xilanase. Aspergilus, menunjukkan aktivitas ligninase, selulase, dan xylanase tertinggi dengan masing-masing sebesar 2,932 U/ml, 2,072 U/ml, dan 1,909 U/ml. Isolat terseleksi tersebut berpotensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai biostarter dalam proses degradasi biomassa tanaman lainnya.

Koleksi oosit merupakan langkah penting dalam produksi dan rekayasa embrio in vitro. Proses ini dimulai dengan superovulasi untuk memaksimalkan jumlah oosit. Superovulasi yang paling umum dilakukan yaitu dengan induksi hormonal menggunakan kombinasi pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) dan human chorionic gonadothropin (hCG). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan hasil superovulasi mencit dengan induksi hormonal dan kombinasi stimulus kawin. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan hewan coba mencit yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok. Kelompok A yaitu kelompok mencit yang disuperovulasi dengan induksi hormonal injeksi PMSG dilanjutkan dengan hCG sedangkan kelompok B diinjeksi dengan PMSG dilanjutkan dengan stimulus kawin menggunakan mencit jantan yang telah divasektomi. Parameter yang dianalisis dalam penelitian ini yaitu jumlah dan morfologi oosit serta histologi ovarium dari kedua kelompok. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara total oosit dari perlakuan A dan perlakuan B. Persentase oosit matang dari kelompok B lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok A. Histologi ovarium kelompok A menunjukkan perkembangan folikel yang bervariasi sedangkan kelompok B didominasi oleh korpus luteum. Berdasarkan hasil perbandingan oosit dan histologi ovarium dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode superovulasi dengan kombinasi stimulus kawin dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif metode untuk mengantisipasi keterbatasan jumlah preparat hormon pada proses produksi dan rekayasa embrio in vitro.

One of the most important factors for raising living standards is the drivers supporting water conservation and water management. Individual’s attitude and emotional factors with social cognitive behavior will play an essential role. This empirical study utilizing mixed methods was carried out in Malaysia with the Y generation. The focus group consisted of 52 participants (18 men and 34 women). As for the quantitative study, 607 respondents from the Generation Y population were used with the convenience sampling method. The finding revealed that the outcome expectancy of Generation Y significantly improves water conservation with appropriate water management. Environmental factors, personal factors, and perceived self-efficacy all predicted the result expectancy, which is confirmed by identifications of reciprocal determinism.

This study examines the interplay between eco-friendly behaviour (Eco-FB) at multiple systemic levels, addressing the complexity beyond the scope of single-level models. We propose a comprehensive model incorporating traditional individual, organizational, and relational level concepts and a situational construct exemplified by Bali Island Recognition. This model was tested in Bali Island’s tourism firms through online and offline surveys of 500 tourism-related employees and their gateway communities across Bali Island. The research investigates the differences in pro-environmental conduct between two destinations’ social accountability (DSA) groups categorized as high and low DSA clusters. It further explores how ecological value, green intelligence, DSA, and sustainable travel affect public and private Eco-FB. The findings indicate that green intelligence has a strong positive connection with Eco-FB, and high DSA significantly impacts eco-friendly behaviour. This research enhances our understanding of Eco-FB by presenting a multilevel model incorporating the Bali Island factor, revealing distinctive impact mechanisms for both public and private Eco-FB.

This study conducted a systematic literature review on current and emerging trends in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for community surveillance, using the PRISMA methodology and the paifal.ai tool for the selection and analysis of relevant sources. Five main thematic areas were identified: AI technologies, specific applications, societal impact, regulations and public policy. Our findings revealed exponential growth in the development and implementation of AI technologies, with applications ranging from public safety to environmental monitoring. However, this advancement poses significant challenges related to privacy, ethics and governance, driving a debate on the need for appropriate regulations. The analysis also highlighted the disparity in the adoption of these technologies among different communities, suggesting a need for inclusive policies to ensure equitable benefits. This study contributes to the understanding of the current scenario of AI in community policing, providing a solid foundation for future research and developments in the field.
