Broadly speaking, network learning is an emerging area of machine learning to discover knowledge within networks. Although networks have permeated all subjects of sciences, in this study we mainly focus on network learning for biomarker discovery. We first overview methods for traditional network learning which learn knowledge from networks with centrality analysis. Then, we summarize the network deep learning, which are powerful machine learning models that integrate networks (graphs) with deep neural networks. Biomarkers can be placed in proper biological networks as vertices or edges and network learning applications for biomarker discovery are discussed. We finally point out some promising directions for future work about network learning.

Abstract: Person re-identification at a distance across multiple non-overlapping cameras has been an active research area for years. In the past ten years, short-term Person re-identification techniques have made great strides in accuracy using only appearance features in limited environments. However, massive intra-class variations and inter-class confusion limit their ability to be used in practical applications. Moreover, appearance consistency can only be assumed in a short time span from one camera to the other. Since the holistic appearance will change drastically over days and weeks, the technique, as mentioned above, will be ineffective. Practical applications usually require a long-term solution in which the subject's appearance and clothing might have changed after the elapse of a significant period. Facing these problems, soft biometric features such as Gait has stirred much interest in the past years. Nevertheless, even Gait can vary with illness, ageing and emotional states, walking surfaces, shoe types, clothes types, carried objects (by the subject) and even environment clutters. Therefore, Gait is considered as a temporal cue that could provide biometric motion information. On the other hand, the shape of the human body could be viewed as a spatial signal which can produce valuable information. So extracting discriminative features from both spatial and temporal domains would benefit this research. This article examines the main approaches used in gait analysis for re-identification over the past decade. We identify several relevant dimensions of the problem and provide a taxonomic analysis of current research. We conclude by reviewing the performance levels achievable with current technology and providing a perspective on the most challenging and promising research directions.

Published: February 2023

Background: This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of single-dose corticosteroid injection (CSI) administered at 6 weeks postoperative to treat stiffness following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR).Methods: In this prospective, multicentric, case-control study, post-ARCR stiffness at 6 weeks was treated with either a single dose of intra-articular CSI (CSI group) or physical therapy with oral analgesics (non-CSI group). Pain intensity according to visual analog scale (VAS), functional outcome using the Constant Murley Shoulder Score, time to return to activities of daily living (ADLs), and retear rate were recorded at 6 weeks, 9 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months postoperatively in both groups. Results: A total of 149 patients (54.5%) in the CSI group and 124 patients (45.5%) in the non-CSI group were included in this study. Pain and function were significantly better in the CSI group at 9-week, 12-week, and 6-month (P<0.001) follow-up, whereas they were not significantly different when the groups were compared at 12- and 18-month follow-up. The mean duration to return to ADLs was significantly shorter (P<0.001) in the CSI group. The incidence of retears was not significantly different (P=0.36) between groups at the end of 18 months of follow-up.Conclusions: Single-dose intra-articular CSI administered at 6 weeks postoperative to treat post-ARCR stiffness significantly improved pain, function, and duration of return to ADLs without increasing the risk of retears compared to patients who did not receive intra-articular CSI.
Role of concomitant percutaneous pie crusting and local corticosteroid injection in lateral epicondylitis: a prospective, case control study
Authors: Rajani Amyn M. , Mittal Anmol RS , Kulkarni Vishal , Rajani Khushi , Rajani Kashish
Published: February 2023

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is an increasingly debilitating condition in working population. Evidence for conservative treatment modalities has been inconclusive. Percutaneous pie crusting of the common extensor origin at the lateral epicondyle at the time of local corticosteroid injection (CSI) has been proposed sparsely. The objective of this study was to analyze if concomitant CSI and pie-crusting of the common extensor origin provides better outcome than CSI alone in lateral epicondylitis.Methods: This case-control study on 236 patients was conducted at a single center between January 1, 2020, and May 31, 2022. Patients were divided into two groups (n=118 each) based on their preference. Group A underwent CSI alone and group B underwent pie crusting along with CSI. The clinical and functional outcomes of all patients were evaluated at 2,4,6, and 12-week post-procedure using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Nirschl score. The mean time for return to daily activities was also compared. Results: Both groups showed significant improvement in post-procedure outcome at successive follow-ups on intragroup longitudinal analysis (VAS: F=558.384 vs. 1,529.618, Nirschl: F=791.468 vs. 1,284.951). On intergroup analysis, VAS of group B was superior to that of group A; however, it was statistically significant (P<0.05) only from the 6-week follow-up onwards. Nirschl score of group B was significantly better throughout the period of follow-up (P<0.05). Group B returned to daily activities faster than Group A (6.2±0.44 weeks vs. 7.18±0.76 weeks). Conclusions: Concomitant pie crusting with CSI is recommended for lateral epicondylitis as it provides significantly better results than CSI alone.

Published: February 2023

La gestión de almacenes e inventarios incorporan prácticas con uso eficiente de recursos y costos. La técnica estándar de almacén de clase mundial evalúa capacidades de procesos y facilita incrementar su madurez. Se aplica ésta metodología en dos casos de estudio para establecer perfiles de procesos, sus actividades y evaluar su desempeño en pos de determinar causas de problemas y oportunidades de mejora. El objetivo del trabajo es analizar ventajas y limitaciones de la técnica de medición del posicionamiento del almacén frente a uno de clase mundial mediante comparación de los procesos de ejecución. Los resultados obtenidos fueron un ascenso del factor de posicionamiento desde -0.11 a -0.27 y -0.83 a 0 para el caso 1 y 2 respectivamente. Del análisis de los procesos de ejecución se obtuvo que la técnica integra los procesos a través de las actividades, incorpora el recurso humano y su interacción, impulsa el diseño y la operación del almacén con adecuado flujo de materiales y de información, distribución óptima en planta, procedimientos operativos y seguimiento del nivel de inventario. Buscando reducir inventarios, aumentar rotación, disminuir capital inmovilizado y costos. No obstante, presenta una limitación en la etapa de recopilación de datos y su valorización al no brindar detalle para realizar la evaluación del almacén y avanzar en el nivel de madurez. Para ello, se necesita un procedimiento de aplicación que contenga definición de criterios de evaluación y calificación, establecimiento de niveles de madurez con rangos explícitos de factor de posicionamiento y descripción de buenas prácticas.

Authors: HUESO Antonio , GONZÁLEZ-GARCÍA Concepción , ATENCIA Luz K. , NOWACK Juan C. , GÓMEZ-DEL-CAMPO María
Published: February 2023

Aim of study:To evaluate the effect of leaf covering, leaf position, leaf age, time and sample size in measurements of stem water potential (Ψstem) in olive hedgerow orchards.
Area of study: The experimental orchards were located in the Centre of Spain (Toledo)
Material and methods: Midday Ψstem was measured using a pressure chamber in two super-intensive olive hedgerow orchards subjected to various water status.
Main results: Measurements were taken at solar noon on shaded leaves at mid canopy height following at least 1 hour of covering. Such measurements on 5 trees were sufficient to define the water status of individual homogeneous irrigation blocks. This combination of techniques is essential for repeatable measurements of Ψstem required to establish critical irrigation points and manage deficit irrigation strategies seeking to control vegetative growth and reduce water use with minimal effect on oil yield in olive hedgerow orchards and maximum oil quality. Part of our results weren’t previously reported: 1) Covering leaves with aluminium doesn’t completely stop transpiration and leaves must be covered and located in the shaded part of the canopy. 2) Ψstem depends on leaf height on olive hedgerow. 3) Ψstem of young leaves was less variable than in older ones. 4) Ψstem at solar noon presented larger differences with previous hours than later.
Research highlights: Leaves for measurements of stem water potential must be previously covered and located in the middle height of the shaded part of the canopy.
UTICAJ INTERNET OGLAŠAVANJA PUTEM PAMETNIH TELEFONA NA MATERIJALIZAM POTROŠAČA
Authors: Kovač Vanja , Petković Goran
Published: February 2023

U savremenom svetu internet oglašavanje putem pametnih telefona, odnosno mobilno oglašavanje, postalo je neizostavan i direktan put do ciljne publike. Iako je danas mobilno oglašavanje jedan od najefikasnijih načina plasiranja proizvoda i usluga, to je relativno nova oblast, široka, dinamična i nedovoljno istražena u odnosu na, primera radi, TV oglašavanje. Iz tog razloga postoji neprestana potreba za novim informacijama iz ove sfere, koje će, između ostalog, doprineti boljoj marketinškoj strategiji i, na kraju, većoj potrošnji. U tom slučaju, kada je potrošnja cilj, materijalizam se pojavljuje kao njegova posledica. U skladu sa tim je ideja ove studije bila da ispita i razume uzročnost između mobilnog oglašavanja i materijalizma. Ovo istraživanje je, upoređujući podatke dobijene u urbanoj i ruralnoj sredini, potvrdilo početnu hipotezu da izloženost internet oglašavanju putem pametnih telefona zaista utiče na materijalističko ponašanje potrošača. Odgovori su prikupljeni su na teritoriji Beograda (Srbija) i u ruralnom području Bosne i Hercegovine.

Theoretical-Practical Approaches Regarding Educational Measures Applicable to Minors in Conflict with the Law
Authors: Bodareva-Solomon Irina
Published: February 2023

The topicality of the addressed topic resides in the interest shown in knowing the importance of educational measures applicable to minors in conflict with the law. Criminal minors are one of the major and permanent concerns of criminal policy in all modern states. Criminal manifestations in the age range that characterizes minors raise very special and specific problems of prevention and combat, due, on the one hand, to the multitude and diversity of factors that can negatively mark the ability of minors to adapt to the demands of socially accepted norms of conduct , and on the other hand, the extremely fragile and influenceable character of their personality. Unlike some foreign legislation (such as the French one), where educational measures can be taken even without establishing criminal responsibility, in the Moldovan criminal system they can only be consequences of concrete criminal responsibility and can only be taken against the minor who committed a crime. The moments exposed in the content of this article are useful, in particular, in terms of the practical applicability of the educational measures applicable to minors in conflict with the law.
A qualitative study of physiotherapy educators’ views and experience of practice education and simulation-based learning
Authors: O’Shea Orlagh , Mulhall Claire , Condron Claire , McDonough Suzanne , Larkin James , Eppich Walter
Published: February 2023

Globally, practice education is a core component of physiotherapy training. Physiotherapy educators struggle to find sufficient workplace placements to ensure adequate clinical experience. Simulation-based learning (SBL) could complement clinical workplace experiences and bridge the gap between demand and provision. This study explores academic physiotherapy educators’ views and experiences of practice education and the potential contribution of SBL.

Representatives from all six Schools of Physiotherapy on the island of Ireland participated in focus groups. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Qualitative data were analysed using interpretive description methodology.

We conducted seven focus groups with 29 academic educators (26 females and 3 males). Three core themes were identified: (i) challenges in practice education, (ii) the potential for SBL in practice education and (iii) barriers and enablers to integrating SBL in practice education. COVID-19 had dual impacts, both exacerbating challenges and precipitating innovations in practice education. Analysis revealed guidance for how to fit SBL within practice education although varied understanding and limited experience with using SBL remained. Barriers to SBL included cost, time, logistics and stakeholder buy-in, while collaboration represented a key facilitator. Perceived benefits of SBL included enhanced student capacity and experience.

A number of contributing factors threaten traditional workplace-based physiotherapy practice education in Ireland. SBL may reduce this threat and solicit ever better performances from students. Future research should examine the feasibility of proposed SBL deployment and foster buy-in from key stakeholders.

The present study was conducted to estimate the primary productivity of major nursery grounds of hilsa both spatially and seasonally. Gross primary productivity (GPP), net primary productivity (NPP), and community respiration (CR) were estimated in summer, rainy, and winter, respectively. The maximum GPP (0.68 gCm-3h-1) and NPP (0.27 gCm-3h-1) were noted during summer season and minimum (0.31 gCm-3 h-1 and 0.19 gCm-3 h-1) in rainy season at all the six stations. The annual average GPP varied from 0.36±0.008 gCm-3h-1to 0.70±0.1 gCm-3h-1. The NPP value varied from 0.23±0.001 gCm-3h-1to 0.51±0.09 gCm-3h-1and exhibited an increasing trend from the month of March to June. CR ranged from 0.12±0.003 gCm-3h-1 to 0.20±0.05 gCm-3h-1 and exhibited an increasing trend from the month of January to May whereas the study found that the CR has also seasonal pattern with maximum and minimum value during summer and winter respectively at all the stations.The data of primary productivity at all stations showed that except S6, all stations has a good nutrient profile and suitable for hilsa production.
W. E. B. Du Bois and Ambedkar: Revisiting the Intellectual Historical Analysis of their Views on Race and Caste
Authors: Abhinav
Published: February 2023

Du Bois and Ambedkar, both intellectually sound personalities, challenged the established institutions of oppression of race and caste. Their intellectual and social legacies continue to have an impact on academia and society today. Their new interpretations of history changed the course of generations. This paper, using an intellectual historical method, attempts to revisit and analyse the issues of “race” and “caste” and the relevance of interpretations by both intellectuals. This paper is majorly divided into four parts, with the first one trying to explain the intellectual historical method, its problems in implementation, and its relevance to such an issue; the second one trying to excavate their conceptual perceptions of “race” and “caste.” The third part discusses the perception of both scholars on the driving forces behind these issues, and the last part discusses the concise history of their struggle towards establishing an egalitarian society.
PROGRAMA DE ASSISTÊNCIA ESTUDANTIL DURANTE A PANDEMIA DE COVID-19: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NO IFRJ

Published: February 2023

A pandemia da Covid-19 suscitou uma série de ações para seu enfrentamento por parte das instituições em âmbito mundial. Em relação à Educação foram requeridas políticas públicas de assistência estudantil e também outros recursos institucionais para atender a crescente demanda de trabalho remoto por parte dos servidores. O Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFRJ) tem em sua estrutura o Programa de Auxílio Estudantil (PAE); que é disponibilizado, a partir do Programa Nacional de Assistência Estudantil (PNAES) do Ministério da Educação do Brasil (MEC). A instituição disponibilizou chip de dados e tablets a estudantes e chip de dados a servidores. Para tanto, foram elaborados dois editais em 2020 e três em 2021 para os estudantes e um edital em 2020 para atender aos servidores. O estudo de caso realizado no IFRJ utilizou como metodologia a pesquisa qualitativa, a fim de identificar os impactos trazidos pelas ações da instituição. O estudo pode afirmar que o IFRJ envidou esforços para combater a desigualdade digital, mas que num primeiro momento as aulas iniciaram sem que os estudantes solicitantes tivessem recebido seus equipamentos no prazo adequado, decorrente de questões de deficiência do mercado nacional em atender alta demanda dos produtos requeridos. Ainda assim, o IFRJ cumpriu sua missão de combater a desigualdade digital em seu âmbito e garantir o direito de todas e todos à educação em período de emergência da Covid-19.

The Father and the Order in Birgitta Trotzig’s Sjukdomen. A Religio-Phenomenological Approach

This is a reading of Birgitta Trotzig’s novel Sjukdomen (1972), that, contrary to what has commonly been done in earlier reception, does not take the dichotomy between father-theme and mothertheme as its point of departure. Instead, it focuses on the position of the father and argues that from this perspective, the world is conceived of in terms of a system of beliefs and meanings (referred to as the Order) that can be described as pseudo-religious. This is based on the author’s view of man as a religious animal, for which religious structures return in diabolic form when the inherent sacredness of nature is renounced. In the first part of the article, phenomenology of religion is used to show how the Order forms a coherent religious meaning system. In the second part, rhetorical analysis is used to show the author’s use of ironical devices in the depiction of the Order.

The Aesthetics of the Interface

In this article I suggest deploying the word interface as a critical concept for probing the complex relations between contemporary art and literature and so-called media culture. An interface designates a surface forming a common boundary between two bodies, spaces or phases. It also designates the place where independent and often unrelated systems meet and act on or communicate with each other. In computer culture, the interface is commonly understood as the means by which humans interact with computers, be it the screen, the mouse-pad, the operative systems, and the endless list of software programs that we interact with on a daily basis. With the arrival of the network computer, the computer interface also becomes a means of human interaction and communication – a technological device for cultural interfacing. Inspired by Mieke Bals method of concept analysis I suggest making interface an analytical concept. I do this by analyzing two short texts by the Norwegian author and visual artist Matias Faldbakken. I distribute the concept of interface along the strands of making, storing and transmitting. Confronting the short texts with the concept of interface under these headings allows us to suggest connections between the meaning of interface as production technology, as a site for discursive and historical convergence in the aesthetical object, and finally as the crucial interconnection between reader/viewer and text/artpiece. The article outlines an itinerary of an »aesthetic of the interface« through which the concepts of convergence, repetition and transgression become important concepts of Faldbakken’s aesthetics that connects to and works with its relation to present day media culture.

The Essayist as Generalist. The Roles of Writers and Public Authority in Three Contemporary Essayists

This is a study of the critical reception of essayistic works by contemporary Swedish writers Nina Burton, Peter Englund and Peter Nilson, who all represent a way of writing where the essayistacts as a generalist rather than a specialist. Despite having high academic degrees, these authors emphasize the personal »light learning« perspective often used in the essay tradition. The primary aim is to investigate which roles and what type of authority that have been ascribed to these essayists depending on partly their educational background and partly on conventions regarding the essay as a genre.

The Soundtrack of Exile. Towards an intermedial interpretation of Peter Weiss’ Literary Works With the Point of Departure in Der Schatten des Körpers des Kutschers.

The problem of representation constitutes one of the main themes in the works of the writer, painter, and filmmaker Peter Weiss (1916–1982). Until recently, the specific intermedial character of his literary work has been largely ignored by literary scholars. In the case of the novel Der Schatten des Körpers des Kutschers (1960), the text itself attempts to transcend the »prison of language« by transposing acoustic elements into its idiom. These transposed »noises« may be interpreted as echoes of (an) exile: a personal response to the trauma of having escaped the Holocaust, as well as – on a more general level – an aesthetical approach to the problems of linguistic representation of past atrocities. In this paper, I contextualize Weiss’ »micronovel« within the framework of current intermedia studies and scholarly work on Peter Weiss. I will also attempt an interpretation pointing to general »Weissian« aesthetics of exile.

Larangan Bersumpah Palsu Dalam Jual Beli Perspektif Hadits Ahkam
Authors: Shofya Humaira Siti Salma
Published: February 2023

Setelah Al-Qur’an, Hadits berfungsi sebagai sumber utama kedua hukum Islam, dan tujuannya adalah untuk menafsirkan bagian-bagian yang luas dari Al-Qur’an. Ada banyak hadits yang membahas muamalah, termasuk jual beli. Jual beli sering terjadi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, namun tidak semua umat Islam melakukan transaksinya sesuai dengan syariat Islam. Misalnya, banyak penjual yang menggunakan sumpah untuk memperlancar penjualan barangnya. Berdasarkan fenomena tersebut, penelitian ini berusaha untuk memastikan hukum hadits Ahkam tentang sumpah dalam jual beli. Peneliti mengadopsi metodologi deskriptif dan menerapkan metodologi kualitatif. Metode pengumpulan data meliputi buku, buku hadits, majalah, dan internet. Analisis deskriptif adalah teknik analisis yang digunakan. Karena tidak bertentangan dengan Al-Qur’an dan pertimbangan-pertimbangan lainnya, maka temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hadits-hadits yang diriwayatkan para ulama hadits tentang jual beli dengan sumpah palsu adalah shahih. Padahal dalam hadits secara keseluruhan Rasulullah SAW melarang para pedagang untuk membuat sumpah palsu karena hal itu akan menghilangkan berkah.

Published: February 2023

This paper aims to investigate the dependence and independence between the variables inferred in the bibliometric analysis of the literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR), business sustainability (BS), and integrated reporting (IR). In this paper, we undertook a bibliometric analysis with statistical analysis to fulfill the proposed goal, based on scientific papers from 1975 to 2021 indexed by ISI Web of Science and SCOPUS databases on the abovementioned topics. The results are the development of a model for mapping future research directions on IR, CSR, and BS issues using the clustering method. The bibliometric and statistical analysis can help researchers by providing clear guidelines for future studies, depending on the behaviour of research clusters on the IR topic. Previous studies didn’t attempt to analyze future research directions of IR from a bibliometric and statistical standpoint, which should be carefully tracked, because IR can offer support to companies by improving their communication with stakeholders.
The Impact of Health Capital on Economic Growth in the Balkan Countries
Authors: Kaštelan Uršula , Konatar Milena
Published: February 2023

This study estimates the impact of health capital on economic growth in 10 Balkan countries over the 2000-2019 period. We used panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) of a pooled mean group (PMG) to examine this relationship. Our results revealed that economic growth responds to short-term and long-term health capital changes. Estimation results indicate a positive relationship between health capital and the economic growth of Balkan countries. According to the results, increased health expenditure stimulates higher economic growth and development. The findings imply the need to formulate policies that assign higher priority to the healthcare sector, which would help sustain future economic growth in Balkan countries.

Authors: Mabić Mirela , Gašpar Dražena , Garbin Praničević Daniela
Published: February 2023

The rapid development of information technology (IT) both forces and supports the transformation of universities in almost all their operations (strategic planning, budgeting, education, research, quality control, cooperation with business and society, etc.). The paper presents the research results related to the digitalization of different processes at universities – more specifically, teachers’ opinions on the effect of digitalization on different processes. The survey was conducted among the University of Mostar, Bosnia, and Herzegovina (BH) teachers. The authors identified processes at the university and investigated the perceived impact of information technology on them. The findings show that the impact of digitalization is positive on most processes, whereby a strong influence is determined for research projects financed by the Ministry of Education, quality management, teaching, and evaluation of acquired knowledge (examination).
Change Management Models: Commonalities and Key Challenges in the Industry
Authors: González Muñoz Raúl
Published: February 2023

It can be argued that managing change is crucial for any organisation to survive and succeed in the present highly competitive and continuously evolving business environment. However, theories and approaches to change management currently available to academics and practitioners are often contradictory, mostly lacking empirical evidence and supported by unchallenged hypotheses concerning the nature of contemporary organisational change management. This paper seeks to understand the key challenges faced when implementing change management projects in the industry, especially in aerospace, and the commonalities across existing change management methodologies. The paper describes results from interviews with industry experts and the literature review to provide a discerning sight of the challenges faced when implementing change management projects and the components shared by the available methodologies.

Authors: Čuić Tanković Ana , Perišić Prodan Marina , Tomljanović Doris
Published: February 2023

In today's age of technological advancement and rapid change, much of the communication takes place on social networks, which offer a great opportunity for customer interaction. Social media is a popular and widely used marketing tool for communication between buyers and sellers. Advertising on social networks is relatively low, which is attractive to businesses, especially smaller ones. This paper aims to study the differences between sponsored content ads on the social networks Facebook and Instagram, using the example of a small hospitality business. The experiment consists of the same text and image posted on the social networks Instagram and Facebook and a post booster run through a mobile app adapted for smartphones. The results show that the promotion of the restaurant business positively affects increasing the number of followers on this page. There are also large differences in response between promoted and non-promoted posts, with promoted posts having a significantly higher response. Differences between Instagram and Facebook are listed, and recommendations for further research are given.

Published: February 2023

As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its third year and the economy continues to recover, it is clear that today's dynamic, unpredictable risk environment will remain. Due to the influence of other unexpected and changing sources of risks from the external and internal environment, situations arise that affect the fulfillment of set goals and the effectiveness of decision-making processes. This uncertainty underlines the need for prevention and the importance of risk management in sports organizations so that organizations can better prepare for potential crises. While in some countries (e.g., the USA, Australia, and others), it is common for the management of a sports organization to be aware of its serious (key) risks, this is not the case in Slovakia. The contribution aims to present the basic concept of risk identification for sports organizations to support sustainability resulting from the current requirements of practice in Slovakia and respect for world trends. The proposed concept's essence is identifying risks in connection with the application and significance of selected methods and techniques of risk identification. The proposed concept should focus on strategic management and establish responsibility for identifying risks to minimize the risks' negative impact. The benefit of the contribution is the strengthening of support for the application of risk management in sports organizations not only in Slovakia but also in neighboring countries. With a proper understanding and effective management of risks within processes and functions, sports organizations can anticipate emerging risks and increase the probability of achieving the goals of profit and sports success.

Mycotoxins are harmful secondary metabolites generated by a variety of fungi, and they may be found in a vast array of food and feed commodities and processed meats from animals fed infected meal. Numerous mycotoxins are extremely resistant and survive food processing, entering the food chain and posing a concern to human health. The "optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy" (OWLS) method was used to detect aflatoxin B1 in plant sample matrices. The calibration curve for the detection of aflatoxin B1 utilizing "optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy" (OWLS) displayed a sigmoidal shape; hence, the 5-PL or 4-PL model should be used to fit the data rather than a linear model. Using error function analysis with functions such as AICc, HQC, BIC, RMSE, adjR2, Bias Factor, and Accuracy Factor, the 5-PL and 4-Pl models are distinguished inconsistently. The overlapping confidence intervals of the LogEC50 values suggested that the two techniques did not differ much, and the 4-PL model was selected due to its smaller number of parameters. The Limits of Detection for aflatoxin B1 value based on the 4-PL equation was 8.787 ng/mL with the 95% confidence interval from 5.728 to 13.100. In this study, the use of the 4-PL model was successful and was able to represent the entire date curve, not only the linear section. The linear component is crucial as a handy and swift approach for assessing the sensitivity of a developed biosensor technology and is often a more beneficial method for field applications when a quick and straightforward evaluation is required.
