Fine-tuning Open-source Large Language Models for Automated Response to Customer Feedback
Authors: Albuquerque M. , Barbosa L. , Moreira J. , Silva A. da , Melo T.
Published: November 2024

Online reviews play a key role in influence customer decisions during their purchase journey. Consequently, negative feedback from customers can have an adverse impact on the sales of products or services, potentially leading to diminished revenue and market share. However, this effect can be mitigated by crafting thoughtful responses to these comments. This paper proposes using open-source pre-trained large language models, specifically smaller versions, to respond to negative reviews effectively. These models, pre-trained on large datasets, require minimal additional data for fine-tuning. To validate the effectiveness of this approach, we apply our solution to the domain of restaurant reviews. Our research shows that these fine-tuned models perform comparably to larger models, such as ChatGPT-3.5, in generating respectful, specific, and corrective responses that encourage customers to revisit the restaurant.

Authors: Santos Virgínia A. , Terasaka Diego T. , Martins Luiz E. , Oliveira Allan G. de , Ventura Thiago M.
Published: November 2024

The identification of bird species enables the creation of machine learning models that can be employed for the non-invasive monitoring of bird populations. In this study, we present an advancement in the assisted automated creation of a training set for the classification of bird species, with a specific focus on species present in the Pantanal. Typically, this process is conducted manually, which is a highly time-consuming approach. In this phase, we propose comprehensive comparative testing to ascertain the optimal methodologies for feature extraction and clustering. Five clustering methods and four feature extraction models were subjected to testing. The results of our experiments demonstrate that the optimal method for the purpose of this work was hierarchical clustering, using BirdNET for feature extraction. This combination provided superior performance in classifying bird species for the assisted construction of training sets.

Published: November 2024

Microcystis sp. are ubiquitous and highly prevalent Cyanobacteria found in freshwater ecosystems. They are known for episodic, large-scale proliferations known as “blooms”, which are driven by factors such as elevated nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, enhanced water column stability, and increased temperatures. Microcystis sp. are infamous for producing a class of potent hepatotoxins known as “microcystins (MCs)”, which exert their toxicity primarily through the inhibition of serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A). This inhibition disrupts cellular signal transduction pathways and affects numerous cellular processes by preventing the dephosphorylation of proteins. As a result, there is a significant disruption of the cytoskeleton, altered cellular signaling, and, ultimately, cell apoptosis. Additionally, microcystins interfere with cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms, causing oxidative stress by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). This oxidative stress can lead to damage across various organs and tissues, including the liver, which is particularly susceptible to microcystin toxicity. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of how physicochemical parameters influence the proliferation of Microcystis sp. and the production of microcystins. It explores the intricate relationship between environmental factors and the enhanced biosynthesis of these toxins, thereby elucidating the conditions that lead to their intensified production.
Medical Grade of Honey: Ecology of Production, Botanical Origin, Authenticity and Safety
Authors: Reza Mehrabian Ahmad
Published: November 2024

Providing medicinal honey involves a unique process based on scientific regulations and guidelines. Little attention has been paid to the integrative and comprehensive criteria for medical grade honey (MGH) production and evaluation. Because of the high importance of this valuable natural product and its use as a medicinal supplement, treatment aid, and even a therapeutic agent, the guidelines and criteria for identifying and authenticating medical grade honey (MGH) must be reviewed and analyzed. Medicinal grade honey is achieved through a continuous chain from the location of colony establishment to the production process to storage and screening. Any disruption in this chain will disrupt the entire process. Furthermore, numerous geographical zones lack the ability to produce medicinal honey. Accordingly, the production of natural honey for medicinal use requires harsh conditions so as to guarantee the health of consumers. Medical grade honey covers a limited range of naturally produced honey in the world.
Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair: Defect Closure Techniques
Authors: Saxena Neeraj
Published: November 2024

During laparoscopic ventral abdominal hernia repair (LVHR), defect closure utilizing extracorporeal suturing for closure of defect is compared with intracorporeal suturing. It is effective and easier with lesser complications like bowel injury, infection, and recurrence. It is done using a spinal needle and a prolene suture or a special suture grasper. It does not require much experience and training to perform this procedure. The results are excellent, reproducible, and suitable for all patients with ventral abdominal hernia. Extracorporeal closure of the ventral abdominal hernia defect in LVHR is an innovative technique to close the hernia defect following which intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM-Plus) is placed to cover the defect so as to reduce chances of recurrence.
Plastics in Coastal Ecosystems: Evaluation of Anthropogenic Marine Debris Pollution
Authors: John de los Santos Kingsley , S. Calabon Mark , B. Sadaba Resurreccion
Published: November 2024

Coastal ecosystems are often overlooked sinks of anthropogenic marine debris (AMD), persistent human-made materials with sizes ranging from 1 mm to 1 m which are mostly plastics. Although serving as transition zones between terrestrial and marine environments, the degree and extent of plastic pollution in coastal environments remains understudied. The chapter will discuss the background and history, composition, sources, and endpoints of AMD. Its spatiotemporal variabilities will be presented with case studies together with other related discoveries in coastal plastic pollution. The impacts of AMD pollution, specifically in mangroves and seagrass ecosystems, will be explored in depth. Discussions on public health implications, waste management initiatives, and future directions will conclude the chapter.
Standardising Scales for Arousal Metrics of Electrodermal Activity: A Case Study in Experience Design
Authors: Mõttus Mati , Cazin Marie-Laure , Tikka Pia
Published: November 2024

In behavioural experiments, participants’ experiences are usually measured on standardised scales, such as five-point Likert scales, which allow comparison of self-reported attitudes, affects, or other subjective experiences across individuals. Psycho-physiological metrics, in turn, allow observation of bodily responses that can be indicators of unconscious decision-making, biases, or arousal, for example. The challenge is that physiological measurements require time-consuming steps of individual calibration before the data from different individuals can be compared with one another in a consistent manner. We argue the successful seamless standardisation during media experience could replace the lengthy prior calibration for each individual. We further assume that a few minutes of live data in the beginning of experience is enough to reliably map the data to a standard scale. This study used electrodermal activity (EDA) data, collected from 46 participants who were engaged in viewing a 19-minute long interactive virtual reality film. Six methods of data normalisation were compared upon two efficiency metrics. The results indicate Pareto scaling to be the most efficient method for standardising EDA arousal scales in real time. The reported novel method is expected to benefit the analysis of intersubjectively shared experiences in affective computing where arousal is designed to drive experiences with interactive media systems.

Published: November 2024

Background: The widespread and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, disinfectants, and antiseptics in medical centers has led to the emergence of resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major cause of hospital infections. Objectives: This study aims to compare the effects of antibiotics—cotrimoxazole, cephalexin, cefotaxime, cefazolin, gentamicin, imipenem, ampicillin, and ceftazidime—with silver nanoparticles synthesized in medicinal plant extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. Methods: Ten antibiotic-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from surfaces at the maternity hospital of Amir al-Mominin Hospital in Zabul city. In this study, nanoparticles were synthesized using an aqueous extract of the medicinal plant Capparis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum lethal concentration (MLC) of the synthesized nanoparticles and antibiotics were determined by the microdilution method. Results: The minimum inhibitory concentrations for the antibiotics ceftriaxone, cephalexin, cotrimoxazole, gentamicin, cefotaxime, imipenem, ceftazidime, ampicillin, and cefazolin were 128, 64, 32, 16, 4, 64, 64, 8, and 64 µg/mL, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration for the synthesized silver nanoparticles was 1024 μg/mL, with inhibition observed in four strains at this concentration. Conclusions: This study demonstrated good antimicrobial effects of synthesized silver nanoparticles on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Therefore, silver nanoparticles may be recommended as a potent antimicrobial agent for disinfecting hospital surfaces.

Feminist Economics : A General Review
Authors: Yolusever Aras
Published: November 2024

Feminist economics is a heterodox approach that challenges traditional economic theories by emphasizing gender inequalities and advocating for more inclusive analyses. This interdisciplinary field critiques the exclusion of non-market activities, such as childcare and domestic work, from conventional economic models. It argues that the omission of these activities results in substantial gender bias. Feminist economics has introduced new perspectives on economic success through the capability approach developed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. This approach focuses on individuals' potential to achieve well-being and justice rather than merely economic output like GDP or income. Key concepts within feminist economics include household bargaining, measurement of unpaid work, and advocating for policies that support gender equality and social justice. The field also employs interdisciplinary data collection methods, such as time-use surveys and qualitative interviews, to gather more accurate data on non-market activities and their economic value. This study offers an exploration of the fundamental concept, theoretical and historical framework of feminist economics. It will also highlight the political implications of the field, examine its global influence, and explore its connections to other related fields. Additionally, the study will analyze future of feminist economics.

Relevansi Pemikiran Abu Ubayd dan Al-Syaibani dalam Perekonomian Indonesia
Authors: Halili Halili
Published: November 2024

This paper studies the microeconomic theories of Abu Ubayd and Al-Syaibani. Although these two figures have different views on how to deal with economic problems, especially microeconomics, both have the same goal of wanting to improve the welfare of the people and get the pleasure of Allah SWT. The writing of Abu Ubayd and Al-Syaibani's microeconomic theory aims to show the public that the differences of opinion of Islamic economic thinkers are a good attitude because it is part of science and can be applied in real life. This journal uses a qualitative approach. The type of research conducted is library research. Library research is a type of research in which all data comes from written materials such as books, manuscripts, journals, and related documents. Abu Ubayd argues that international trade that is too free, namely by imposing zero tariff fees, will hinder the country's economic growth because in Islam there is no concept of free trade (even though the imported goods are purchased goods). As-Syaibani's economic thinking is used to build employment or entrepreneurship today, where many MSMEs are productive and become indicators of the nation's economy.

Die Politik der Entpolitisierung des Geldes
Authors: Pointner Wolfgang
Published: November 2024

Im Zentrum von Stefan Eichs Buch steht die Frage, ob und wie sehr der Wert von Geld politischen Entscheidungen unterworfen sein soll. Solche Entscheidungen haben erhebliche Verteilungswirkungen und sind daher wesentliche politische Machtfragen. Eine Tendenz, den Geldwert aus der Sphäre des politischen Diskurses drängen zu wollen, zeichnete sich schon vor der Moderne ab. Obwohl Geld eine soziale Institution ist, wurde ihm oft ein "natürlicher" Wert zugeschrieben. Je stärker geldpolitische Konzepte theoretisch außer Diskussion gestellt wurden, desto schwerer war es, in Krisen Alternativen zum Status quo zu erarbeiten bzw. umzusetzen. Eich erklärt, welche Gruppen ein besonderes Interesse daran hatten, Währungsfragen zu entpolitisieren, er zeigt aber auch, dass die Scheuklappen der etablierten Orthodoxie sogar in Demokratien verhindern können, dass politische Alternativen gefunden werden, die einer großen Mehrheit Vorteile bringen würden.

Wege aus der Rezession
Authors: Marterbauer Markus , Prenner Christoph
Published: November 2024

Die österreichische Wirtschaft befindet sich im Herbst 2024 in einer schleichenden Rezession, die von Inflation, steigender  Arbeitslosigkeit und einem hohen Budgetdefizit geprägt ist. Die Konsumnachfrage stagniert, die Investitionen gehen merklich zurück. Unzureichende Koordination in der Preis-, Beschäftigungs- und Wirtschaftspolitik schwächte die Reaktion auf die Krise im Vergleich zu früheren Strategien massiv. Die nächste Regierung steht vor der Aufgabe, gute Arbeit insbesondere durch Investitionen in Aus- und Weiterbildung zu fördern und gleichzeitig eine solide Finanzpolitik zu sichern. Der digitale und ökologische Wandel sowie die Bekämpfung sozialer Ungleichheit sind entscheidend für nachhaltige Stabilität. Öffentliche und private Investitionen in Wohnbau und thermische Sanierung sind notwendig, um die Konjunktur zu beleben. Zusätzlich könnten Mietbegrenzungen und leistbare Energiepreise die Konsumnachfrage und das Vertrauen der Haushalte stärken.
Reconciling patent rights and the human right to access to essential medicines: A critical review
Authors: Mahadew Bhavna
Published: November 2024

Over 80% of the world’s population lives in developing nations, with limited access to medicines like AIDS and malaria. Competition between patented and generic medications can improve access and lower prices, but counterfeit medicines should be avoided. The Doha Declaration, released at the World Trade Organisation Ministerial Conference in 2001, aims to support nations’ rights to safeguard public health and encourage access to medicines. It aims to influence the interpretation and application of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) in a manner that is health-friendly, considering the responsibility of nations to uphold health rights under international law. The Declaration calls for developed nations to encourage practical solutions for poor people in developing countries, emphasizing that trade agreements should be secondary to defending human rights and achieving the best quality of health for all. International human rights treaties protect the universal human right to health, but rigid trade agreements on patents can hinder affordable medication for low-income populations in developing nations. TRIPS, a treaty that protects intellectual property rights and promotes technological innovation, aims to provide inexpensive medications for HIV/AIDS patients through exclusions from patent admissibility, exceptions, parallel importing, and compulsory licensing.

The article analyzes in detail that the full formation of the separation of powers
and the theory of balancing, as well as the emergence of the constitutional
principle, is associated with political events developing in England, France and
the USA in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Distinguishing three branches of government: legislative, executive and federal,
the basis of such a division, in contrast to the thinkers of the ancient period, who
believed the division of state functions between various government bodies,
where the function of passing laws was on the legislative branch (parliament),
the function of executing laws and punishment was on the executive branch
(king), and the function of forming alliances and concluding deals is to federal
power, conceptually J. Locke completed the theory of separation and balance
of powers. According to modern understanding, it was not complete and his
ideas were criticized from different points of view, however, at the same time,
the legal and political significance of the theory he put forward was highly
appreciated, because they were not limited to the definition of mechanical force.
The article also shows that S. Montesquieu played a key role in the development
of the principle of separation and balancing of powers, which unlike J. Locke,
separated the judicial power from the executive power.
Reference was also made to the main issues related to the theory of separation
and balancing of powers in domestic legal practice.
Taking into account all of the above, in the opinion of the author of the article,
the meaning of the principle of power of separation and balancing of powers is
that it is possible to avoid their conflict, their desire to rise to the highest level,
in order to exclude the concentration of functions of state power in the hands
of one body or person.

Authors: Simonyan Tigran
Published: November 2024

This article explores the evolving role and effectiveness of United Nations
(UN) peacekeeping missions, focusing on the case study of the Central African
Republic (CAR). It begins by contextualizing the historical background of the
CAR conflict and the establishment of the UN Multidimensional Integrated
Stabilization Mission in CAR (MINUSCA) in 2014. Using a multidisciplinary
approach drawing from international relations, peace and conflict studies,
and political science, the article employs theoretical frameworks such as
Liberal Peace Theory, Realism, Neorealism, Constructivism, and Conflict
Transformation Theory to analyze MINUSCA’s mandate evolution and
activities. The examination highlights MINUSCA’s shift from traditional
peacekeeping tasks to broader responsibilities, including fostering national
dialogue, supporting electoral processes, and aiding in institution-building. It
examines how MINUSCA’s mandate expansion reflects changing international
norms and identifies motivations behind external actors’ involvement in CAR,
such as France and the UN. Additionally, the article evaluates MINUSCA’s
effectiveness in contributing to peace and stability in CAR, considering factors
like resource constraints and geopolitical dynamics. By synthesizing theoretical insights, historical analysis, and evaluative frameworks, the article also provides
a nuanced understanding of UN peacekeeping missions’ evolution, challenges,
and implications for international peace and security. It contributes to ongoing
discussions on the role of international organizations in conflict resolution
and peacebuilding efforts, offering insights into the complexities of modern
peacekeeping operations and their impact on conflict-affected regions like the
Central African Republic.

In the digital era, universities play an important role in developing policies and technology to ensure students' academic integrity. This research aims to explore and analyze holistically the contribution and effectiveness of universities in maintaining academic integrity in the digital era. The research method used is a literature review with a semi-systematic review approach, which is then expanded with bibliometric analysis using the VOSViewer tool. Of the 115 papers identified in the bibliometric analysis with the keyword “college plagiarism”, it was found that the term “plagiarism” was often associated with “student”, “college”, “academic”, and “plagiarism”. Key relevant terms include “training”, “locus of control”, “rabin-karp”, “text mining”, “hash”, “levenshtein distance algorithm”, “similarity”, and “publication”. Universities should conduct training and strengthen students' locus of control to instill integrity values. The concept of “similarity” in plagiarism detection helps maintain the originality of academic work, while “rabin-karp” and “text mining” technologies are used to recognize plagiarized text and find suspicious patterns. The “hash” concept and “Levenshtein distance algorithm” are important in maintaining academic integrity, and “publication” ensures research meets academic integrity standards. Universities leaders are responsible for preventing plagiarism by implementing code of ethics and promoting awareness and understanding within the entire academic community.

Multispectral image is a type of digital image that captures spectral information in several channels or bands. Edge detection is one of the basic techniques in image processing which is used to identify the boundaries of objects in an image. This research aims to analyze the performance of several edge detection algorithms on multispectral images. The algorithms tested include the Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Canny, and Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) algorithms. Tests were carried out on high resolution multispectral images from the Landsat-8 satellite. The evaluation metrics used are accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The research results show that the Canny algorithm has the best performance with the highest F1-score compared to other algorithms. Apart from that, this research also analyzes the effect of the number of channels in multispectral images on the performance of edge detection algorithms.
