Authors:   BASIS Scottsdale High School Scottsdale, AZ, USA, Lakshminarasimhan Aditya
Published: October 2024

In the world of molecular biology, Molecular Docking has become a pillar for understanding complex interactions pivotal for drug design and more. The emergence of sophisticated machine learning models, such as Diffusion Generative Models, have significantly expanded our analytical capabilities. However, this evolution has introduced notable computational challenges. This study aims to examine the trade-off between computational demands and model accuracy. Our methodology, which incorporates free platforms, illuminates methods to conserve computational resources while maintaining nearoptimal accuracy. Our findings suggest that using 30 samples per complex, 15 inference steps, and 4 batch steps improves pose prediction accuracy and reduces computational resources. The proposed parameters achieve a 14% accuracy increase compared to the 40 samples per complex model and a 56.25% increase compared to the 10 samples per complex model. The optimized inference steps result in a 12.2% accuracy increase over the 20-step control using the 40 samples model and a 24.3% increase using the 10 samples model. Additionally, using 4 batch steps leads to a 40.6% increase in DiffDock Confidence for the 10-sample control and a 0.4% increase for the 40- sample control.

Authors:   USA, Thopalle Praveen Kumar
Published: October 2024

In the fast-paced digital world, ensuring the continuity and resilience of critical applications in the IT and software industries has become increasingly vital. Downtime, data loss, and service interruptions can have catastrophic effects, causing substantial financial losses, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Traditional disaster recovery (DR) approaches often fail to meet the demands of modern infrastructures due to their reliance on manual processes and reactive strategies. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML), have opened new avenues for revolutionizing DR plans. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of how ML models can enhance disaster recovery in IT environments by enabling real-time anomaly detection, predictive failure analysis, and automated failover processes. By integrating AI-driven techniques, businesses can aim for zero downtime and 100% resource backup, ensuring a more robust, scalable, and efficient recovery framework. The study examines how ML can optimize resource allocation, improve operational continuity, and address critical IT challenges, offering future-proof solutions to safeguard essential software and IT services.

Analisis Konseptual Pemilihan Topik Sembang Santai dalam Budaya Berbeza
Authors: Mamat Anis Nabilah , Mohamad Norhayuza , Puasa Bashasunnahar , Wan Abd Rahman Ahmad , Mohd Ramli Zuraini
Published: October 2024

Kertas konsep ini akan membincangkan tentang pemilihan topik dan topik tabu dalam komunikasi sembang santai merentas budaya berbeza. Sembang santai atau small talk merupakan satu bentuk komunikasi yang tidak memfokuskan kepada inti pati perbualan dan tidak bertujuan untuk menyampaikan maklumat. Sebaliknya, ia berfungsi untuk mengeratkan hubungan sosial dan meningkatkan kemesraan antara dua pihak yang berinteraksi. Pemilihan topik sembang santai dalam konteks budaya yang pelbagai yang difahami dengan baik adalah penting untuk melancarkan proses komunikasi tanpa berlakunya perlanggaran norma etika, salah faham dan dapat memupuk komunikasi silang budaya yang berjaya. Perbincangan tentang sembang santai dalam kertas konsep ini adalah berlandaskan beberapa teori seperti Teori Komunikasi Fatik Malinowski (1923) yang menyatakan setiap ungkapan yang dituturkan tanpa penyampaian sebarang maklumat, dan dituturkan semata-mata untuk bersosial dianggap sebagai sembang santai. Manakala perbincangan tentang pemilihan topik sembang santai pula berdasarkan Teori Topik Standard Aitchison (1996) yang menjelaskan sembang santai lazimnya berunsurkan topik-topik standard yang tidak sensitif. Pengkategorian topik sembang santai pula akan dibincangkan melalui Model Bulatan Sepusat Pemilihan Topik Sembang Santai Schneider (1987) yang mengemukakan tiga kategori topik sembang santai iaitu situasi spontan, situasi luaran dan situasi komunikasi. Selain faktor budaya, kajian ini juga mendapati faktor kontekstual, jarak sosial dan latar belakang sosial turut mempengaruhi pemilihan topik sembang santai dan topik tabu. Secara keseluruhan, topik sembang santai dan topik tabu dalam budaya berbeza mempunyai persamaan dan perbezaan dan sangat berkait rapat dan berakar umbi dalam norma dan nilai budaya sesuatu masyarakat.

Published: October 2024

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming more highly regarded in the hotel sector as a strong weapon in promoting sustainable economic development and addressing ethical concerns. Nevertheless, there is a limited knowledge of the notion of CSR in the hotel business, as well as how to effectively implement it. This study seeks to understand the views and recommendations of experts regarding the key elements of that are essential for the effective implementation of CSR in the hotel industry. This study uses the NGT method as the main method of the study. A panel of ten highly skilled Malaysian industry practitioners and academics was convened. The data were descriptively collected and analyzed, and they were weighted according to ranking (1-3, lowest to highest priority) of domain.  The rationale for the choices were analyzed thematically. The domain of "financial resources," "top management support," "employees’ education and training on CSR," and " managerial or internal skills on CSR” was recommended as the preferred measure of time period over which the domains were rated.  The adoption of these recommendations will help standardize approaches to improving the CSR practices particularly in the Malaysian hotels.
Barriers to Clean and Safe Water Access in Juba: AA-QQ-RD Framework on SDG 6 in South Sudan
Authors: Malek Nor Malina , Duku James Arike Charles
Published: October 2024

Juba, the capital city of South Sudan while, presenting a unique case as a rapidly growing city in a post-conflict country, its water infrastructure has been severely affected by decades of conflict, leaving it inadequate and underdeveloped. This study was conducted with the main objective of establishing factors causing the inadequacy of clean and safe water among households in Juba City. This study employed a proposed AA-QQ-RD (Availability, Affordability, Quality, Quantity, Reliability, and Distance) framework. The research employed a qualitative methodology, gathering data through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with household heads, government officials, and community leaders. The findings reveal significant challenges across all components of the AA-QQ-RD model. Availability of water is severely impacted by poor infrastructure which collectively disrupt water distribution while affordability issues arise from the high cost of water. In addition, water quality is compromised at multiple stages posing serious health risks while quantity of water is insufficient, particularly in larger households and densely populated areas. Further, reliability is undermined by irregular water supply and frequent service interruptions whereas distance to the nearest water points is a significant barrier with many residents traveling long distances to fetch water. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive infrastructural improvements, effective regulatory frameworks, and community-driven initiatives to address these barriers. The study's implications for Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) highlight the critical need for coordinated efforts to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

Authors: Zhang Xia , Che Cob Saiful Akram , Liu Chang
Published: October 2024

Metaphor is a powerful rhetorical device used primarily in the field of visual communication, particularly in branding, advertising, book design, and packaging. Although metaphor is used so frequently, there is limited existing literature examining the area. Consequently, this study aims to address this gap by performing a bibliometric analysis to map the existing literature and identify key topics for future research. Using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software, we selected 217 related articles from the Web of Science for the period from 2000 to March 2023. The performance analysis shows a growing interest and a steadily increasing literature development before peaking in 2023. Metaphor research focuses primarily on the fields of communication, linguistics, and business. It is worth noting that the United States holds a dominant position in terms of publication quantity and academic influence. By scientific mapping with keywords coincidence, seven research themes were characterized, including conceptual metaphor, visual metaphor, and multimodal metaphor. In addition, themes such as visual rhetoric, consumer perception, and advertising play a central role in metaphor research, emphasizing metaphor as a strategy in visual communication that influences consumer attitudes and emotions. This study provides valuable insights for potential future research efforts endeavours to seeking to explore this area in more depth.

The genetic link between anxiety and libido: libido as an anxiety conversion
Authors: Savchenkov A.V.
Published: October 2024

Psychoanalysis in the study of the human psyche considers all processes in the psychodynamic paradigm. The term "psychodynamics" first appeared in the works of Freud. From the information given by Freud deduces the definition: psychodynamics is the mutual influence of unconscious (id, BSZ) and conscious (ego) processes in which BSZ is of priority importance [14]. The psychodynamic approach made it possible to reveal the economic features of mental processes. Psychic economism describes how psychic energy is involved in the processes of production/reproduction, distribution, transition and qualitative and quantitative changes. When describing psychodynamics and the economy of Freud focused on libido as the only psychic energy that can be invested in an object in a direct and sublimated form, and manifest itself in models of
attraction or conversion, in symptoms. However, the study of mental processes in patients with borderline personality organization of psychogenic etiology with the help of hypnopsychoanalysis allowed us to change the view of libido as the primary and central mental energy. According to the data of psychocorrective work, we came to the conclusion that anxiety is a pre-libidinal energy that is first experienced by a child at the moment of birth and in the process of ontogenesis is able to convert into libido. This leads to the conclusion that libido is the result of the conversion of anxiety, or, in other words, the reactive formation of anxiety. For the first time, an attempt to give anxiety a basal status was made by Karen Horney [20]. However, her work describes the phenomenological aspects of anxiety. We find a broad study of anxiety in a phenomenological way both in early authors, among whom R. May is particularly noted [8], and in modern ones [5], [3], [7]. In turn, the report examines the economic aspect of anxiety in the psychodynamic approach, its genetic relationship with libido, and the ability of anxiety to convert into libido. The research methodology is based on the following:
- analysis of sources that highlight the problem of anxiety;
- philosophical justification of the singular and plural;
- data obtained as a result of psychocorrective work using psychodynamic hypnotherapy

Authors: Akınoğlu Güney , Erdal Arzu , Rakıcıoğlu Songül , Horuz Ayhan
Published: October 2024

Bitkiler tüm yaşam döngüleri boyunca kökleri aracılığıyla topraktan azot (N) alırlar. Temel bir besin elementi olan azotun miktarı ve alınma formu, bitki büyümesini ve onun çevresiyle olan etkileşimlerini önemli ölçüde etkiler. Toprakta N; nitrat (NO3−) ve amonyum (NH4+) gibi inorganik formlarda bulunmakla birlikte üre, serbest amino asitler ve kısa peptidlerden oluşan organik formlarda da bulunabilmektedir. Nitrat (NO3−), bitki beslenmesindeki ve fizyolojisindeki rolü nedeniyle tüm bitkiler için çok önemli bir azot formudur. Yapraklı sebzeler insanların beslenmesinde çok önemli bir yer tutmakla birlikte canlıların nitrat (NO3−) alımına yüksek seviyelerde katkı sağlayan bir besin grubunu da oluşturmaktadır. Nitratın eksojen konsantrasyonları, bitkilerde NO3− birikimini etkileyen en önemli faktörler arasındadır. Azotlu gübrenin aşırı uygulanması durumunda yapraklı sebzeler yüksek düzeyde nitrat biriktirebilir. İnsanlar tarafından tüketilen nitrat bakımından zengin besinler ciddi sağlık tehlikeleri oluşturabilir. Bu derleme çalışması, bitkilerde nitrat asimilasyonu ve taşınımı, nitrat birikimini etkileyen besinsel, çevresel ve fizyolojik faktörler, insanların diyetle nitrat alımına sebzelerin katkısı ve nitratın insan sağlığı üzerindeki zararlı ve faydalı etkileri üzerine odaklanmaktadır.

The combinations of soluble sugars, organic acids, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are crucial for how food is perceived and accepted. In order to evaluate the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia), headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in this study. Among the 19 aroma compounds identified in the study conducted with a PDMS fiber, acetaldehyde and ethanol were found to be the most abundant. In addition, two more significant organic acids found in Asian pears were found to be malic acid (46.89 mg/100 g) and tartaric acid (45.08 mg/100 g). Glucose (84.70 mg/100 g) and sorbitol (65.75 mg/100 g) were identified in significant concentrations among the soluble sugars that directly affect fruit quality. LC-MS was used to investigate the phenolic content of Asian pears, and important phenolic compounds such as quinic acid (19227 g/L), chlorogenic acid (8445 g/L), procyanidin B2 (3146 g/L), liquiritin (435.1 g/L), and benzoic acid (363.1 g/L) were found.

This article analyzes some features of the conflict between the government and deputies of the Federation Council in 1997. The main reason for this conflict was the negative economic situation in the Primorsky Territory, coupled with an attempt to deprive the governor of the region, E. I. Nazdratenko, of his powers. As a result of the conflict, it became obvious to the entire political class that it was unrealistic to deprive the post of the head of the region elected by the people on the initiative of Moscow. It was also clearly demonstrated that the system of checks and balances in post-Soviet Russia exists de facto, and not only de jure. The possibility of making significant decisions at the federal level without taking into account the opinions of the regions and their heads has become extremely low. Thus, the Federation Council has finally proved its subjectivity.

This study investigates the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on delinquent behavior among high school learners in Kakamega East Sub-County, Kenya. The pandemic precipitated significant disruptions, including widespread school closures and increased social isolation, which are hypothesized to have influenced youth behavior. The primary objectives of this research were to assess the prevalence of pandemic-related experiences, examine their effects on delinquent behavior in the post-pandemic context, and evaluate the effectiveness of intervention strategies aimed at addressing these behaviors. An embedded mixed-methods design was employed, utilizing stratified and cluster random sampling techniques to select five schools from a target population of 2,800 students. Quantitative data were gathered through structured questionnaires, while qualitative insights were obtained via in-depth interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, and thematic analysis was applied to the qualitative data. The findings indicate that the pandemic exerted the most pronounced impact on economic dimensions (mean = 3.7736), followed by academic (mean = 3.332), religious (mean = 2.995), and social experiences (mean = 2.757). Notably, delinquent behaviors, including absenteeism, violence, bullying, and substance abuse, were prevalent among the student population. Pearson correlation analysis revealed weak but statistically significant relationships between pandemic experiences and delinquency. Economic experiences exhibited a negative correlation (-0.050, p < 0.001), while academic (0.142, p = 0.052), religious (0.310, p < 0.001), and social (0.306, p < 0.001) experiences demonstrated weak positive correlations. In conclusion, the study underscores that while intervention strategies are currently in place, there is a pressing need for enhanced reinforcement of social skills to mitigate the long-term effects of the pandemic on student behavior.

Specifically, the study examined the effect of TQM on supplier quality; effect of TQM on operational efficiency; effect of supplier quality on operational efficiency and finally assessed the mediating role that supplier quality plays in the relationship between TQM and operational efficiency within these health sectors in the Upper East region. Structured questionnaire was utilized to solicit primary data from the study’s respondents. The selection of 174 sampled respondents from the total population of 352 public health facilities were done using a simple random sampling procedure. Also, version 24 of the IBM SPSS software and the SmartPLS model was utilised to process the data. The demographic characteristics of the respondents were analysed with the help of descriptive tools such as means and standard deviation, while inferential statistical tools was employed in testing the cause-and-effect hypothesised relationships between the variables. The findings revealed that total quality management had a positive significant effect on supplier quality. Likewise, the objective two showed that total quality management had a positive statistically significant effect on operational efficiency. The third objective showed that supplier quality had a positive statistically significant effect on operational efficiency, and the fourth research objectives revealed a positive statistically significant mediating effect of supplier quality in the relationship between total quality management and operational efficiency. The study recommended that, management of health facilities within the Upper East region should emphasize on putting measures in place to ensure the improvement of their TQM practices to help set standard that will ensure that suppliers goods and services conform to quality standards
impact of Mobile Money innovation in Ghana on bank profitability
Authors: Ayagre Philip
Published: October 2024

The study investigated the bank specific, industry and macroeconomic factors that impact the profitability of banks from a developing country perspective. The differentiator for this paper is the inclusion of mobile money floats as a factor that influence bank profitability in a mobile money driven financial system. Using panel data techniques, the study found that bank-related factors that drive bank profitability are operating expense ratio, capitalisation, and bank size. All macroeconomic variables included in the study are also important in explaining bank profitability and so is market concentration and regulation. The study however, revealed that mobile money floats does not influence bank profitability significantly, however, bank size complements and moderates the relationship between mobile money and bank profitability positively. The study recommend that smaller banks should invest more in information technology to attract more mobile money floats to improve upon profitability and consequently financial inclusion and economic development.
Costing data management and sharing
Authors:   MORU, Wathira Naomi
Published: October 2024

To conduct research, you need more than just good ideas … you also need funds. How do you then quantify costs associated with data management and governance? In this module, we cover key elements to consider when costing data management for a clinical research study. We examine costs associated with each step of the data life cycle (see Fig. 1) including the financial implications of sharing existing research data. As actual costs will vary greatly over time, and between different geographic locations, you need to incorporate realistic prices applicable to your setting.

Published: October 2024

Background: The spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is an ongoing public health challenge, and awareness of risk factors is essential for designing effective preventive interventions. This study aimed to assess self-reported STI occurrences and identify risk factors and sexual behaviors associated with STIs among female university students.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional, online questionnaire study, including 384 female university students seeking contraceptive counseling at a gynecology clinic in Uppsala, Sweden, and reporting having had sex. Associated risk factors and behaviors were assessed by comparing those who reported STIs and those who did not.
Results: The mean age of participants was 22.8 years. Seventy-eight (20%) had contracted at least one STI, with seven (9%) experiencing multiple infections. Seventy-three (94%) reported first-date sexual activity without a condom among STI experienced. Chlamydia trachomatis was the most common STI pathogen (68% of all infections), followed by Herpes simplex virus (18%) and Mycoplasma genitalium (13%). Behavioral factors associated with self-reported STIs were first-date sexual activity without a condom, not using condom at first intercourse, younger age at first intercourse, a higher number of sexual partners overall and in the last 12 months, experience of anal sex, dating app usage, and regretting sexual activity after substance use (P < 0.003 for all).
Conclusions: Condom use was low among the respondents, and STIs were common regardless of the high level of education in this group. Contraceptive counseling needs to highlight the importance of condom use in addition to contraceptive efficacy. It is also essential to consider the specific risk factors and behaviors prevalent among young adults to reduce the spread of STIs.

The use of starter cultures in meat product technology reduces process time and improves organoleptic performance. The selection of starter cultures involves various stages and is a rather complex process: preliminary characterization in laboratory conditions; selection of the most promising strains; laboratory verification and final verification in large-scale fermentation. Nowadays, the selection of a functional starter culture includes another step related to the evaluation of functional properties. This paper presents an example of using a stepwise approach to select promising starter cultures with probiotic abilities. Researchers obtained several types of pure bacterial cultures from a basic starter and determined indicators of enzymatic and technological activities. Proteolytic activity, nitrate reduction capacity, amount of mucus, pH change, temperature effect on growth, amount of salt, as well as probiotic traits: antibiotic resistance, survival in acidic medium, degree of interaction with water (hydrophobicity), degree of interaction with Salmonella and Escherichia coli were investigated in the isolated strains. The studies were carried out in comparison with some collection strains. As a result, strains from the base inoculate were capable of fermentation at low temperatures and exhibited a particular degree of bio activity, while specific probiotic characteristics in terms of hydrophobicity and survival under gut-mimicking conditions were identified for the collection strains.
