Intervention of Innovative Technologies for Eradicating Tampering in Digital Forensics: Practicing Intelligent Decision Methodologies
Authors: Elsayed Asmaa , Arain Bilal
Published: June 2024

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is one of the popular technologies of Industry 4.0. This technology involves of advanced equipment such as sensors, machines, and analytics platforms in industrial settings. The utilized equipment has been harnessed to improve efficiency, productivity, and safety. IIoT forensics is a specialized field of digital forensics that deals with the investigation of IIoT devices. In terms of digital forensics, there are several open challenges, including the need for more effective data acquisition techniques, the need for better tools and techniques for analyzing IIoT data, and the need for more research on the legal and ethical implications of IIoT forensics. However, the increasing use of IIoT devices and systems is presenting new challenges, including data security, privacy, and safety. These challenges became an incentive for the inclusion of Blockchain technology (BCT) which is considered one of the most famous Industry 4.0 technologies in securing data and transactions. Wherein, BCT offers a solution to some IIoT security challenges, including data integrity, authentication, access control, confidentiality, transparency, scalability, resilience, and provenance. Hence, leveraging BCT in ambiances where tampering is prevalent, and counterfeiting has become imperative. In this light, BCT can be used in digital forensics due to its ability to construct a transparent environment that is characterized by decentralized and immutable in the event of safety accidents or cyber-attacks. Without a doubt, in such an environment, selecting and utilizing an adequate BC application for preventing any data alteration unless there is consensus on that is important.  Accordingly, this matter is considered the catalyst in this paper for constructing a robust intelligent appraiser model for appraising the available nominates of BC applications. In the context of selecting and implementing a blockchain-based digital forensic scheme within the IIoT communication architecture, the techniques of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) are considered a strong contributor. Wherein these techniques can help balance various criteria that preferences amongst BC applications are based on. Hence, Entropy and Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) are contributing to constructing the proposed intelligent appraiser model as techniques of MCDM. As well these techniques are working under the authority of Type-2 neturosophic numbers (T2NN) which are considered one of the popular members of Neutrosophic uncertainty theory.

The purpose of the is to elaborate models for preliminary diagnosis using statistical techniques. We compare two models for the estimation of cervical cancer risks.This article aims to compare predictive models for cervical cancer using machine learning techniques. We set up classification tables to compare the overall correct prediction rates.The data used comes from 30 cases of cervical cancer. We fitted a Logistic Regression (LR) model and trained Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The multicollinearity problem, usually present in modeling with numerous predictive variables, was addressed with factor analysis and Pearson Correlations.The LR model and ANN model were evaluated based on their percentage of correct classifications. The LR model achieved an accuracy of 33.33%, while the ANN model achieved an accuracy of 16.67%.Based on the percentage of correct classification, the Logistic Regression model was superior to the Neural Networks for the cervical cancer dataset. This highlights the need for further exploration of different machine learning approaches and data preprocessing techniques to improve predictive performance for cervical cancer risks.

Authors: Daldiran Bünyamin
Published: June 2024

A comprehensive bibliometric analysis is used in this study to investigate the emerging trends in production management with respect to green transformation. A massive literature review was conducted using Web of Science and also various bibliometric indicators, namely SWOT analysis, co-citation of cited authors, bibliographic coupling of authors, citation of authors, co-occurrence of author keywords, co-authorship of countries and co-authorship of authors. The analysis employed VOS viewer software which is a bibliometric network mapping tool.

Such findings shed light on major areas and research clusters within production management field particularly as regards sustainability and eco-friendly orientation. Co-citation and bibliographic coupling analyses disclose that seminal works by key authors contributed to the dialogue on green transformation in production management. Besides, the examination of author’s keywords revealed the prevailing themes as well as current topics being researched upon passionately today through scholarly papers. The collaborative networks among researchers were shown by a country-wise distribution across continents indicating that research activities are not restricted to particular countries. The process of SWOT analysis gave a framework through which to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats related to the inclusion of sustainability in production management.

This research provides insights into how organizations are changing their production management systems in response to environmental sustainability concerns. In addition, it is useful for both researchers and practitioners who want to ensure that their production management strategies are in line with green transformation goals. Future research directions are suggested to address identified gaps and to further investigate the dynamic interplay between production management and sustainable development.
Appraisal of Olezarsen for Treatment of Hypertriglyceridemia
Authors: Mikhail Nasser
Published: July 2024

Olezarsen is antisense antinucleotide under investigation that inhibits synthesis of apolipoprotein C3 (ApoC3) resulting in reduction of plasma triglycerides levels. In a phase 3 clinical trial of patients having familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) with extreme hypertriglyceridemia at baseline (mean plasma triglycerides 2,630 mg/dl), olezarsen 80 mg administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks decreased triglycerides by 43.5 percentage points (95% CI, 69.1 to 17.9; P<0.001) after 6 months compared with placebo. By 53 weeks, 1 episode of acute pancreatitis occurred in olezarsen group versus 11 episodes in the placebo group, rate ratio (RR) 0.12 (95% CI, 0.02 TO 0.66). Two phase 2 trials evaluated olezarsen in patients with moderately elevated triglycerides (<500 mg/dl) and high cardiovascular (CV) risk recorded similar magnitude of reduction of triglycerides. Olezarsen reduced levels of atherogenic lipoproteins such as ApoC3 by 73%, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) by 17-23% and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels by 30-40%. Meanwhile, olezarsen increased mean values of low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) from 22.8 to 37.6 mg/dl in patients with FCS but had no significant effects in patients with high CV risk having higher baseline LDL-C levels. Discontinuation rates due to adverse effects of olezarsen were 9-12% versus 0% with placebo. The most common adverse effects of olezarsen were elevation of liver enzymes, mostly below 3 times the upper limit of normal, and injection-site reactions. Platelet count < 140,000/µl occurred in 18% in patients receiving olezarsen versus 3% with placebo (risk ratio 6.8; 95% CI, 0.91 to 51.3; P=0.03). No patient had severe thrombocytopenia with platelet number < 75,000/µl. Overall, olezarsen is a promising new therapy for hypertriglyceridemia and for prevention of hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis. Long-term randomized trials are urgently needed to examine the effects of olezarsen on CV events and mortality and establish its long-term safety.

Authors: Ay Gülşin , Karacan Esin
Published: June 2024

Flört şiddeti kişilerarası şiddet türlerinden biri olup birçok toplumda yaygın olarak görülen toplumsal bir sorundur. İlk flört deneyiminin yaşandığı bir dönem olan ergenlik döneminde yaşanan flört şiddetinin nedenlerini, risk faktörlerini ve etkilerini anlamak önemlidir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden biri olan fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında, ergen flört şiddeti mağdurlarının toplumsal cinsiyet algısının flört şiddetine yönelik deneyimlerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Mart 2024-Nisan 2024 tarihleri arasında yaşları 15-18 arasında değişen 12 flört şiddeti mağduruyla yaklaşık 40 dk süren yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgulara bakıldığında; kadın katılımcıların erkek katılımcılara kıyasla toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini kabul düzeylerinin daha düşük olduğu ve daha eşitlikçi bir bakış açısına sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Ergenler en sık olarak psikolojik flört şiddetini tanımlamalarına rağmen ilişkilerinde psikolojik flört şiddetiyle karşılaştıklarında şiddeti fark edemedikleri görülmüştür. Cinsiyete yönelik toplumsal beklentilerin ergen flört şiddeti mağdurlarının destek arama sürecini zorlaştırdığı ortaya konmuştur. Toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini benimsemenin flört şiddetine maruz kalma ve flört şiddeti uygulama açısından risk faktörü olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women globally, with Pakistan having one of the highest incidence rates in Asia. Post-mastectomy patients often suffer from shoulder pain, reduced range of motion (ROM), and muscle weakness, impacting their quality of life. This study investigates the efficacy of a comprehensive exercise regimen in alleviating these symptoms.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of aerobic, mobility, and strengthening exercises on shoulder pain, ROM, and muscle strength in post-mastectomy patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: A six-month case-control study was conducted with 60 participants, aged 25-65, who had undergone radical mastectomy and were in the chemotherapy phase. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: the case group (n=30), which underwent an eight-week program of aerobic, mobility, and strengthening exercises, and the control group (n=30), which performed only aerobic exercises. Data collection tools included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain assessment, a Goniometer for ROM measurement, and Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) for muscle strength evaluation. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, with paired and independent t-tests applied to compare pre- and post-intervention scores.
Results: The case group showed a significant reduction in VAS scores (mean difference = 2.93333, p<0.001) compared to the control group (mean difference = 0.40000, p=0.028). MMT results indicated significant improvements in muscle strength for the right deltoid (mean difference = -0.40000, p=0.009) and left pectoralis major (mean difference = -0.73333, p<0.001) in the case group. ROM improvements were significant for right shoulder extension (mean difference = -0.80000, p<0.001) and left shoulder external rotation (mean difference = -1.73333, p<0.001) in the case group.
Conclusion: A comprehensive exercise regimen, including aerobic, mobility, and strengthening exercises, significantly improved shoulder pain, ROM, and muscle strength in post-mastectomy patients. These findings support the integration of multifactorial physiotherapy into rehabilitation protocols for breast cancer survivors to enhance their long-term health and quality of life.

Expectations for the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: A Research on the Perceptions of Tourism Faculty Students
Authors: Egeli Güzide Zeynep , Kurgun Hülya , Aktaş Erdem , Kurgun Avşar
Published: June 2024

Rapid transformation and shaping of the education sector by evolving technologies are inevitable. The study aims to explore the transformative potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) within higher education, particularly in the tourism sector, and investigate students' perspectives on its usage. Existing research on this topic is limited, prompting a qualitative research approach in this study to obtain more in-depth findings. This involved conducting focus group discussions with nine first-year tourism management students who had attended four training seminars on digital transformation and artificial intelligence applications and possessed basic knowledge of the subject. The outcomes of these discussions, covering students' views on the impact of GenAI on academic performance, critical thinking and research skills, its contribution to post-graduation capabilities, potential misuse scenarios, and likely challenges, were subjected to content analysis. Among the primary research findings was that students are aware of security and ethics issues related to generative AI but are not concerned due to the availability of solutions. They perceive GenAI as an opportunity to enhance their learning experiences, academic performances, and future employability, but emphasize the necessity of using it as an auxiliary tool rather than relying entirely on these applications. Additionally, rather than immediately implementing these applications across all higher education institutions and departments, there is an emphasis on the necessity of transitional phase plans. Consequently, the study aimed to propose recommendations to higher education institutions, educators, and students based on both literature and practical insights to develop a framework aimed at a generative AI-centric approach. Moreover, valuable insights were sought to enhance the educational experience of future tourism professionals.

Metin benzerlik skorları, ardışık duyurular arasındaki içerik benzerliğini belirlemek için kosinüs benzerliği teorisi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, belirli dönemlerde FOMC duyurularının içeriğinin önemli ölçüde benzeştiğini ve bu benzerliklerin ekonomik koşullardaki değişikliklere bağlı olarak şekillendiğini ancak nüfusun ekonomik koşullardaki değişimi dikkate alarak benzer politika metinlerine rağmen farklı davranışlar sergilediğini göstermektedir. Benzerliklerin, FOMC'nin politika kararlarına ilişkin tutarlılık ve güvenilirlik sağladığı, ancak belirsizlikler yaratabildiği ve FED’in iletişim etkinliğini azaltabileceği çalışmanın ilgi çekici sonuçları arasındadır. Çalışma, ayrıca doğal dil işleme (NLP) araçlarının merkez bankası iletişimlerinin analizinde kullanımının potansiyelini vurgulayarak literatüre katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
Breakthrough in the Relativity of Traditional Contract Subjects: The Case of the International Contract for the Carriage of Goods
Authors: He Yinglai , Du Zhaojin
Published: June 2024

The contract of carriage of goods is a typical agreement commonly encountered in both domestic and international trade. Relevant legislation pertaining to this matter can be found dispersed across civil codes, commercial codes, and specialized transport laws in various countries. According to the relativity of traditional contracts, the contracts are only binding on the contracting parties. However, with the development of the economy and the sophistication of the social division of labor, the behavior of goods transportation often involves the interests of third parties other than the contractual counterparts. Hence, the practice has required the breakthrough of the relativity of the contract of carriage of goods. From the views of the subjects, the groups of the shipper, the carrier, and the consignee have emerged. This paper studies the above three subjects, from the perspective of comparative law to recognize the legal phenomenon of the breakthrough in the relativity of the subject of the contract of carriage of goods.

Salinity is one of the most severe abiotic stresses for crop production. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of NaCl on growth and some biochemical parameters in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seedlings. Chickpeas were grown hydroponically for 14 days and then treated with 0 mM and 200 mM NaCl. Plants were harvested for the experiment 7 days after salt treatment. Salinity showed marked changes in growth parameters (fresh and dry weight of roots and shoots) and the amount of photosynthetic pigments. The study revealed that the activity of photosystems (PS I and PS II) under salt stress is lower than that of plants growing under normal conditions. The spectral characteristics of the chloroplasts isolated from chickpea leaves were studied by the fluorescence method at liquid nitrogen temperature (77K). Under salt stress, the chloroplast fluorescence emission spectrum decreased in the parts of the spectrum characterizing the PSII (maxima at 686 nm and 695 nm) and PSI complexes (maxima at 735 nm). Keywords: Photosynthetic pigments, chloroplasts, photosystems, fluorescence, chickpea

We have studied the effects of drought stress on the activities of some enzymes of the Calvin-Benson cycle and their degree of activation in the leaves of Chenopodium album and photosynthetic gas exchange parameters. The decrease in the rate of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation under moderate drought stress initially occurs due to the partial stomatal closure and under severe drought. It is assumed that the negative effect of drought on the activities of some enzymes of the Calvin-Benson cycle may cause the weakening of photosynthesis in the leaves of Chenopodium album. Keywords: Chenopodium album, drought stress, photosynthetic enzymes, photosynthetic rate

This paper demonstrates the increased interest that scientists have recently shown in the non-food components of the hazel plant, such as leaves, as well as hard and green shells, in addition to the nuts. The review discusses studies conducted to determine the qualitative and quantitative profiles of different parts of Corylus avellana. It has been demonstrated that extracts made from various Corylus avellana components possess a variety of biological properties, such as anticancer, antiproliferative, and antioxidant effects. It has been shown that secondary metabolites can be directly synthesized by in vitro cell culture, which allows the production of valuable secondary metabolites such as paclitaxel, one of the most important anticancer compounds synthesized by hazel. A brief review of existing literature data serves to emphasize C.avellana as a source of bioactive compounds. Further research is needed to explore the health benefits of C.avellana extracts and their use as food supplements. Keywords: Hazel, Corylus avellana, secondary metabolites, taxol, anticancer drug

Paraquat is a highly toxic herbicide that can cause caustic lesions, acute kidney failure and delayed pulmonary fibrosis. We report a case of a 56-year-old male agricultural worker who intentionally ingested 20 ml of paraquat, leading to a fatal outcome. He presented with vomiting, diarrhea, dysphagia and sialorrhea. Despite prompt medical intervention with cyclophosphamide, methylprednisolone, and supportive care, the patient developed acute renal failure and progressive pulmonary fibrosis. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he succumbed to refractory hypoxemia 31 days after hospital admission. This case highlights the lethal nature of paraquat poisoning and the importance of preventive measures to minimize exposure.
YET AGAIN: NOTES ON THE JUDICIALIZATION OF POLITICS AND JUDICIAL ACTIVISM
Authors: Aguiar Santos Bruno
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The article discusses the phenomena of judicialization of politics, judicial activism, and politicization of justice, which involve the expansion of judicial power in different countries and contexts. The author proposes a more complex and nuanced analysis, taking into account the historical, institutional and cultural specificities of each concept, using Brazil as a locus of reflection, highlighting the characteristics and challenges of the Brazilian constitutional system. The author also addresses tensions and conflicts between powers, control and accountability mechanisms of the judiciary, and the effects of judicialization on democracy and fundamental rights. The author concludes with a reference to the literature of Victor Hugo, identifying what he calls “Javert syndrome”, which affects members of the judiciary who resort to judicial activism as a panacea capable of taking societies to a higher level of civilization. The author defends the need to limit the judiciary, even on theoretical grounds and in the debate of ideas, so that democracies are not undermined by the unsustainable weight of something as a judicial dictatorship. Keywords: Hermeneutics, Constitutional Law, Judicial Activism.
