Authors: Wajid Mahnaz  , Dr Sidra Kiran
Published: December 2024

The Big Five Personality Traits—openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism—are widely regarded as a comprehensive framework for understanding individual differences. These traits influence various behaviors, including social interactions, learning preferences, and technology adoption. Objectives of the study were; 1) To analyze the relationship between the Big Five Personality Traits and students' adoption of WhatsApp and Facebook for educational collaboration. 2) To investigate the association between social network site usage and academic performance of the students. 3) To evaluate the mediating role of academic performance in the relationship between the Big Five Personality Traits and the educational use of WhatsApp and Facebook. All 8617 Students of grade 10th of District Attock, (4,868 Boys & 3,749 Girls) at secondary and higher secondary school level in 248 public schools were the population of the study. 816 students were the sample for this study from the population. Proportional Sampling technique was used for sampling. Big Five Personality Tool consists of 39, Usage of Social Network Sites tool consists of twenty nine different items for five basic and commonly used Social Network Sites. Reliability of the tools was found by using Cronbach’s Alpha. For content validity, both research tools were validated from the experts of field of education while for construct validity, EFA was performed. The findings from the PROCESS procedure (Model 4) offer insights into the relationships between Big Five Personality Traits (BFPTs), Academic Performance (AP), and Social Network Sites (SNSs). The analysis shows that BFPTs significantly predict Scholastic Performance (SP), with a positive coefficient of 1.528 (p < 0.01). The model's R-squared value of 0.528 indicates that 52.81% of the variance in Scholastic Performance can be explained by BFPTs. This relationship suggests that students' personality traits are strongly related to their academic performance. Hence, it is recommended that, Interventions should focus on improving both Scholastic Performance and personality traits to help students manage their social media usage effectively.
Decoding Market Emotions: The Synergy of Sentiment Analysis and AI in Stock Market Predictions
Authors: Sahani Tanwangini
Published: December 2024

The stock market is influenced not only by traditional financial metrics but also by psychological factors such as emotions, opinions, and sentiments. In recent years, the integration of sentiment analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed stock market forecasting by enabling traders and investors to interpret market behavior more effectively. Sentiment analysis, a subset of natural language processing (NLP), analyzes textual data from diverse sources like news articles and social media to gauge public sentiment—positive, negative, or neutral—toward market conditions. This analysis bridges the gap between quantitative data and investor psychology, revealing insights that traditional metrics might not capture. With the rise of social media and online forums, the volume of opinion data has surged, necessitating advanced technologies for real-time processing and interpretation. AI, mainly through machine learning and deep learning models like GPT and BERT, is crucial in efficiently analyzing vast datasets, detecting patterns, and predicting market trends. These AI-powered tools can combine sentiment data with historical market trends, providing a holistic view of market dynamics. The advanced capabilities of AI models to comprehend nuances such as sarcasm and irony further enhance sentiment detection, allowing for more accurate predictions. While integrating sentiment analysis and AI in financial markets offers numerous advantages, it also faces challenges such as algorithmic bias, data privacy issues, and the unpredictability of human emotions. This study aims to explore the integration of sentiment analysis and AI in stock market predictions, assess the accuracy of AI-driven predictions compared to traditional methods, and analyze case studies of successful applications in financial markets. Through this, the study seeks to contribute to the evolving landscape of financial forecasting by demonstrating the potential of AI and sentiment analysis in shaping market behavior understanding and decision-making processes.

Published: December 2024

A Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) do rio Uberaba foi criada em 2005 para proteger o principal manancial de abastecimento público do município de Uberaba, MG. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a variabilidade da qualidade físico-química e microbiológica da água dos afluentes do rio Uberaba que compõem a APA do rio Uberaba, sob influência da sazonalidade, utilizando o Índice de Qualidade da Água (IQA). Para avaliar a sazonalidade e a variabilidade espacial da qualidade da água na APA do rio Uberaba foram realizadas 2 campanhas de coleta ao longo das microbacias dos afluentes do rio Uberaba. Essas amostras foram coletadas em dois momentos distintos, o primeiro momento ocorreu durante o período seco (setembro/2019), e o segundo momento ocorreu durante o período chuvoso (janeiro/2020). Os resultados do IQA no período chuvoso e seco se encontram na faixa entre 50 e 90, portanto classificados com IQA médio e bom. No período seco os córregos dos Pintos (jusante) e Lanhoso tiveram uma queda considerável na qualidade da água, indo de 81,9 para 58,2 e 85,5 para 67,2, respectivamente. Apesar de alguns afluentes apresentarem diferentes IQA no período seco e chuvoso, concluímos que para o período amostrado, não houve variação significativa na qualidade da água na APA do rio Uberaba.
Medicina personalizada y farmacogenómica en el tratamiento de enfermedades cardiovasculares
Authors: Villa-Feijoó Amarilis Liseth
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the application of personalized medicine and pharmacogenomics in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, highlighting their ability to improve drug efficacy and reduce adverse effects. Through a literature review, the study examines how genetic variants in genes such as CYP2C19 and SLCO1B1 influence the response to common drugs such as statins and clopidogrel. The results indicate that tailoring doses according to a patient's genetic profile not only improves clinical outcomes, but also reduces the incidence of serious side effects, such as myopathies and thrombosis. Despite these benefits, clinical implementation faces significant barriers, such as the high costs of genetic testing and the lack of access to advanced technology in some regions. The study concludes that, although pharmacogenomics has the potential to transform the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, its widespread adoption will depend on overcoming these barriers.

Published: December 2024

The horizon of understanding the Trinity from the beginning of the church until now is still a subject of discussion that causes resistance. It takes place and is discussed among theologians and teachers of God's people. This cannot be separated from historical ignorance regarding the development of Christian doctrine. So it is deemed necessary to re-examine this noble subject by considering the methodology and history of its development. For later application in the Corinthian church. The hope is that this article can provide actual and contemporary understanding, even though it is not something new, through the presence of a thought that touches the depth of the problem. And giving birth to a conclusion focused on reconstructing the crucial point (the existence and existence of God in Christ). He approaches it with caution before expressing a theological opinion about the existence of God and His way of life. The findings show that the Corinthian congregation's understanding of God was only limited to a path to wisdom without knowing that Jesus was the God who saved humans throughout history. Applying it to the contemporary congregation, God's people must experience Jesus and accept Him personally in their faith. So that the understanding of Christ is rooted in the way God saves humans and can be accounted for historically.
Pandangan Alkitab: Puasa Karbo, Gula Dan Buah Untuk Kesehatan
Authors: Suhariono Agus , Ekoprodjo Herman Sjahthi
Published: December 2024

Fasting in the biblical view is a form of sacrifice and self-restraint undertaken to draw closer to God, show contrition, and prepare oneself to receive divine guidance. This is reflected in the example of Jesus who fasted for 40 days in the wilderness before beginning His ministry (Matthew 4:1-2). This fast not only demonstrated surrender to God's will but also emphasised the physical and spiritual endurance required. By refraining from food, including carbohydrates, sugar, and fruit, fasting helps control bodily desires and strengthens spiritual desires. It is a call to shift the focus from physical gratification to seeking a deeper relationship with God, as revealed in Joel 2:12-13.AbstrakPuasa dalam pandangan Alkitab adalah suatu bentuk pengorbanan dan penahanan diri yang dilakukan untuk mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan, menunjukkan penyesalan, dan mempersiapkan diri untuk menerima petunjuk ilahi. Hal ini tercermin dalam contoh Yesus yang berpuasa selama 40 hari di padang gurun sebelum memulai pelayanan-Nya (Matius 4:1-2). Puasa ini bukan hanya menunjukkan penyerahan diri kepada kehendak Allah tetapi juga menegaskan ketahanan fisik dan spiritual yang diperlukan. Dengan menahan diri dari makanan, termasuk karbohidrat, gula, dan buah, puasa membantu mengendalikan keinginan tubuh dan memperkuat keinginan rohani. Ini merupakan panggilan untuk mengalihkan fokus dari kepuasan fisik ke pencarian hubungan yang lebih dalam dengan Tuhan, seperti yang terungkap dalam Yoel 2:12-13.

Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant in Pregnancy Women Conceived by In Vitro Fertilization and Intrauterine Insemination
Authors: Yasoob Ejam Zainab , Adem Şevki , Kadhim Gatea Asmaa
Published: December 2024

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a popular kind of assisted reproduction. This method is among the most popular treatments for infertility, to those who cannot have a baby in normal way. One alternative for treating infertility is intrauterine insemination (IUI), which is simple, safe, inexpensive, and does not involve any intrusive procedures. Oocyte senility and other reproductive issues in females may be caused by oxidative stress (OS), which is the result of high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
