Background

Transitional-aged youth have a high burden of mental health difficulties in Canada, with Indigenous youth, in particular, experiencing additional circumstances that challenge their well-being. Mobile health (mHealth) approaches hold promise for supporting individuals in areas with less access to services such as Northern Ontario.

Objective

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the JoyPop app in increasing emotion regulation skills for Indigenous transitional-aged youth (aged 18-25 years) on a waitlist for mental health services when compared with usual practice (UP). The secondary objectives are to (1) evaluate the impact of the app on general mental health symptoms and treatment readiness and (2) evaluate whether using the app is associated with a reduction in the use (and therefore cost) of other services while one is waiting for mental health services.

Methods

The study is a pragmatic, parallel-arm randomized controlled superiority trial design spanning a 4-week period. All participants will receive UP, which involves waitlist monitoring practices at the study site, which includes regular check-in phone calls to obtain any updates regarding functioning. Participants will be allocated to the intervention (JoyPop+UP) or control (UP) condition in a 1:1 ratio using stratified block randomization. Participants will complete self-report measures of emotion regulation (primary outcome), mental health, treatment readiness, and service use during 3 assessments (baseline, second [after 2 weeks], and third [after 4 weeks]). Descriptive statistics pertaining to baseline variables and app usage will be reported. Linear mixed modeling will be used to analyze change in outcomes over time as a function of condition assignment, while a cost-consequence analysis will be used to evaluate the association between app use and service use.

Results

Recruitment began September 1, 2023, and is ongoing. In total, 2 participants have completed the study.

Conclusions

This study will assess whether the JoyPop app is effective for Indigenous transitional-aged youth on a waitlist for mental health services. Positive findings may support the integration of the app into mental health services as a waitlist management tool.

Comparison of 3 Aging Metrics in Dual Declines to Capture All-Cause Dementia and Mortality Risk: Cohort Study
Authors: Bai Anying , He Shan , Jiang Yu , Xu Weihao , Lin Zhanyi
Published: January 2025

Background

The utility of aging metrics that incorporate cognitive and physical function is not fully understood.

Objective

We aim to compare the predictive capacities of 3 distinct aging metrics—motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), physio-cognitive decline syndrome (PCDS), and cognitive frailty (CF)—for incident dementia and all-cause mortality among community-dwelling older adults.

Methods

We used longitudinal data from waves 10-15 of the Health and Retirement Study. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was employed to evaluate the effects of MCR, PCDS, and CF on incident all-cause dementia and mortality, controlling for socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, as well as medical comorbidities. Discrimination analysis was conducted to assess and compare the predictive accuracy of the 3 aging metrics.

Results

A total of 2367 older individuals aged 65 years and older, with no baseline prevalence of dementia or disability, were ultimately included. The prevalence rates of MCR, PCDS, and CF were 5.4%, 6.3%, and 1.3%, respectively. Over a decade-long follow-up period, 341 cases of dementia and 573 deaths were recorded. All 3 metrics were predictive of incident all-cause dementia and mortality when adjusting for multiple confounders, with variations in the strength of their associations (incident dementia: MCR odds ratio [OR] 1.90, 95% CI 1.30‐2.78; CF 5.06, 95% CI 2.87‐8.92; PCDS 3.35, 95% CI 2.44‐4.58; mortality: MCR 1.60, 95% CI 1.17‐2.19; CF 3.26, 95% CI 1.99‐5.33; and PCDS 1.58, 95% CI 1.17‐2.13). The C-index indicated that PCDS and MCR had the highest discriminatory accuracy for all-cause dementia and mortality, respectively.

Conclusions

Despite the inherent differences among the aging metrics that integrate cognitive and physical functions, they consistently identified risks of dementia and mortality. This underscores the importance of implementing targeted preventive strategies and intervention programs based on these metrics to enhance the overall quality of life and reduce premature deaths in aging populations.
Evolution of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education From 2000 to 2024: Bibliometric Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Li Rui , Wu Tong
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into medical education has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. However, it lacks a comprehensive study depicting the academic performance and status of AI in the medical education domain.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to analyze the social patterns, productive contributors, knowledge structure, and clusters since the 21st century.

METHODS

Documents were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2000 to 2024. VOSviewer, Incites, and Citespace were used to analyze the bibliometric metrics, which were categorized by country, institution, authors, journals, and keywords. The variables analyzed encompassed counts, citations, H-index, impact factor, and collaboration metrics.

RESULTS

Altogether, 7534 publications were initially retrieved and 2775 were included for analysis. The annual count and citation of papers exhibited exponential trends since 2018. The United States emerged as the lead contributor due to its high productivity and recognition levels. Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, National University of Singapore, Mayo Clinic, University of Arizona, and University of Toronto were representative institutions in their respective fields. Cureus, JMIR Medical Education, Medical Teacher, and BMC Medical Education ranked as the top four most productive journals. The resulting heat map highlighted several high-frequency keywords, including performance, education, AI, and model. The citation burst time of terms revealed that AI technologies shifted from imaging processing (2000), augmented reality (2013), and virtual reality (2016) to decision-making (2020) and model (2021). Keywords such as mortality and robotic surgery persisted into 2023, suggesting the ongoing recognition and interest in these areas.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides valuable insights and guidance for researchers who are interested in educational technology, as well as recommendations for pioneering institutions and journal submissions. Along with the rapid growth of AI, medical education is expected to gain much more benefits.

Introduction. Yakut shamanism is an important aspect of traditional culture that specifically articulates certain customary beliefs. The paper analyzes various approaches to understanding shamanism, including evolutionist theory, a constructivist approach, and the concept of ‘invented tradition’. It is noted that Yakut shamanism has pronounced dualistic features reflecting the division of mythological thinking into good and evil, as well as the juxtaposition of divine and evil beings. Goals. The study seeks to examine some manifestations of dualism in Yakut shamanic practices. Materials and methods. The research rests on the theoretical approach adopted by G. Ksenofontov who analyzed the issue as follows: he would associate it with the transition from the cult of bull to that of horse paralleled by certain class processes. G. Ksenofontova tended to divide religion into ‘upper’ (white shamans) and ‘lower’ (black ones) levels, and would focus on that in folk culture the former disappeared while the latter survived — the conversion to Christianity. The analysis also involves field data collected during ethnographic expeditions to Yakutia’s rural districts in 2022–2024. Results. The work considers two key scientific paradigms that define the study of shamanism — essentialism and constructivism. Particular attention is given to the dualistic concept manifested in the division of shamanism into ‘black’ and ‘white’ practices (and shamans). The paper outlines these two types, their functions, rituals, and roles in Yakut culture. There is also an insight into how Christianity has influenced traditional shamanism, which notes the advent of Christian priests resulted in that roles of shamans as cult ministers did change, and the latter led to some aspects of ‘white’ shamanism associated with the worship of ancestors and deities would be lost. Our appeals to Ysyakh holiday practices show how this dualistic structure manifests itself in ritual culture that comprises symbols of both fertility and destruction. The paper also stresses some healing methods used by shamans (and their characteristics) that further accentuate dualism in religious beliefs and shamanic practices of the Sakha. Conclusions. So, the article identifies manifestations of dualism in functional and sacred parts of Yakut shamanism, delineates traditional methods and tools of shamanic healing practices. It is urgent to employ an integrated approach to the study of Yakut shamanism, since both traditional and modern elements — e. g., such a trend as neo-Shamanism — should be as taken into consideration for deeper understanding of its significance in the context of Sakha cultural heritage.

Authors: Bobadilla Maldonado Ignacio , Martínez Roberto , Matini Behzad Hamed , Hillig Everton
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the relationship between laboratory aging, physical and mechanical changes, and the outcomes of non-destructive testing. A total of 45 composite specimens containing 60 % wood fiber, 35 % low-density polyethylene, and 5 % additives were tested. A laboratory aging process, consisting of water immersion at 20 ºC and 50 ºC for a total of 56 days, was applied to the specimens. During the aging process, several batches of specimens were extracted and tested to measure their physical (density) and mechanical properties (bending strength and modulus of elasticity). Non-destructive testing, including ultrasound and stress wave devices, a screw withdrawal resistance meter, and a penetration tester, were employed. Results indicated that temperature had a greater influence on the WPC deterioration than humidity. A decrease in density (2 % - 4 %) and a significant reduction in mechanical properties (20 % - 60 %) were observed. The non-destructive methods used proved to be reliable estimators of composite properties, especially ultrasound wave propagation, confirming previous findings on other materials.

Authors: Supianti In In , Yaniawati Poppy , Bonyah Ebenezer , Hasbiah Astri Widiastuti , Rozalini Nisrina
Published: January 2025

Mathematics is essential for individuals to solve everyday life problems. However, students remain insufficiently motivated in mathematics learning, necessitating the implementation of engaging teaching approaches integrated with other disciplines, such as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). This study investigated the effectiveness of a STEAM-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach on mathematical literacy and character development among secondary school students. Utilizing a mixed-methods convergent parallel design, the research employed quantitative and qualitative techniques. The quantitative data collection used a literacy skills test to measure mathematical literacy. Meanwhile, the qualitative data collection to measure students' character utilized surveys, interviews, and observations. Quantitative data analysis was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test, while qualitative data analysis employed triangulation, including data reduction, data presentation, and data verification stages. The study results revealed that students' mathematical literacy significantly improved after participating in STEAM-PjBL-based learning. Additionally, STEAM-PjBL fosters the development of students' character traits, including teamwork, communication, and responsibility, highlighting its potential to support holistic educational outcomes. These findings indicate that integrating STEAM principles with PjBL enhances academic performance and cultivates critical 21st-century skills.

Published: January 2025

Las señales electroencefalográficas (EEG) necesitan ser tratadas y procesadas debido a que contienen diferentes tipos de distorsiones. Generalmente, se suelen emplear softwares especializados para tal propósito. En el presente trabajo se describe una nueva interfaz gráfica de usuario, FIMALOF (Filtrado, Mapeo y Localización de Fuentes), que consiste en un conjunto de programas que realizan tareas específicas para el tratamiento de señales cerebrales, incluyendo filtros digitales. También incluye técnicas de descomposición de señales, como el análisis de componentes independientes (ICA, Independent Component Analysis en inglés), ICA-filtros pasa-baja, descomposición empírica de modos. Asimismo, permite generar señales electroencefalográficas (EEG) sintéticas mediante una relación matemática basada en las características eléctricas del cerebro. Con esta señal EEG sintética se pueden probar y validar los filtros implementados para verificar su correcto funcionamiento. La interfaz también es capaz de procesar señales EEG reales. De esta manera se presenta una herramienta, alternativa a las existentes, para poder llevar a cabo el procesamiento de señales EEG.

Profecia e Sacramentos
Authors: Monteiro Anderson Batista
Published: January 2025

Com base no diálogo entre a teologia bíblica e a sistemática, inspirado pelas descobertas do Concílio Vaticano II, este estudo investiga como as ações simbólicas dos profetas de Israel e de Jesus fundamentam a compreensão teológica dos sacramentos. Esses atos manifestam a presença de Deus e a realização da salvação, antecipada pelos profetas e cumprida por Cristo. Jesus, reconhecido como profeta, não apenas anuncia o futuro, mas cumpre as antigas profecias e inaugura o Reino de Deus com gestos e palavras salvadoras. A partir de sua morte e ressurreição, a Igreja primitiva, impulsionada pelo Espírito Santo, continua a missão de Cristo, repetindo seus atos tornando-os presentes na história. Assim, este artigo ressalta o caráter profético do cristianismo, sustentado pela vivência sacramental, pela escuta da Palavra e pela comunhão fraterna, que deve servir de modelo para o exercício da missão profética da Igreja no mundo contemporâneo.
De João Paulo II a Francisco
Authors: Bernardes Matheus da Silva
Published: January 2025

Do mistério pascal nasce a Igreja: da morte e da ressurreição de Jesus de Nazaré surge uma comunidade de discípulas e de discípulos seus que tem a missão de anunciar a Boa-notícia do Reinado de Deus inaugurada por ele mesmo. A consequência imediata de tal afirmação é a seguinte: a práxis de Jesus de Nazaré orienta a práxis da Igreja, como insiste Jon Sobrino. Não obstante, processos históricos complexos fizeram com que a Igreja se afastasse da práxis misericordiosa de seu Senhor e se ocupasse muito mais de si mesma e de suas relações com os poderes temporais. Iniciado com o giro constantiniano, o processo de transformação da comunidade de discípulas e discípulos em Igreja imperial, posteriormente cristandade, permaneceu em voga até a virada do século XX. O evento conciliar, começado com a convocatória do Concílio Vaticano II pelo papa João XXIII, significou um sério empenho no “retorno às fontes”, à Boa-notícia do Reinado de Deus. Contudo, leituras e hermenêuticas diversas do concílio impuseram à Igreja agendas diversas, como é possível constatar nos pontificados de João Paulo II e Francisco. Depois de um percorrido histórico, este breve trabalho aprofunda nas mencionadas leituras e hermenêuticas do concílio a partir da convivência, nem sempre pacífica, das duas perspectivas eclesiológicas, isto é, a comunidade de discípulas e discípulos de Jesus de Nazaré e a cristandade, na Igreja no Brasil.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo fazer uma simples homenagem ao teólogo e amigo José Maria Castillo. Seu pensamento, baseado na humanização de Deus, dialoga com muitos temas teológicos, mostrando-se profundamente atual e capaz de promover uma verdadeira interação da fé cristã com os dilemas enfrentados pela sociedade contemporânea. O tema desta reflexão, ser cristão é seguir à Jesus, tem como objetivo tocar a realidade de um modelo de cristianismo que cresce a cada dia, aquele focado nas práticas religiosas, nas piedades, na sacramentalização, oriundo de um tradicionalismo fundamentalista. A intenção não é a de analisar esse fenômeno, mas de indicar o Evangelho e a metáfora do seguimento como essência do cristianismo, baseado nas intuições do teólogo granadino
Suomennettu puheen ymmärrettävyys kontekstissa -asteikko (ICS-FIN)
Authors: Kunnari Sari
Published: January 2025

Puheen ymmärrettävyys on yksi keskeinen arvioinnin osa-alue lasten puhehäiriöitä tunnistettaessa ja niiden vaikeusastetta määriteltäessä. Yksi käytetyimmistä puheen ymmärrettävyyden arviointimittareista on Intelligibility in Context Scale -asteikko (ICS). Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli saada normiarvot suomennetulle ICS-asteikolle (ICS-FIN) sekä tarkastella asteikon validiteettia ja reliabiliteettia. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin myös ikäryhmien ja sukupuolten mahdollisia eroja puheen ymmärrettävyydessä sekä vanhempien koulutustason ja lapsena sairastettujen välikorvatulehdusten määrän yhteyttä puheen ymmärrettävyyteen. Tutkimukseen osallistui 176 3–6-vuotiasta kielellisesti tyypillisesti kehittynyttä lasta. Tutkimus osoitti, että lasten puheen ymmärrettävyys kasvoi iän lisääntyessä ja erityisen kiivaasti 3–4 ikävuoden välillä. Sukupuolella ei ollut vaikutusta puheen ymmärrettävyyden kokonaispisteisiin. Vanhempien koulutustasolla tai lapsen sairastamien välikorvatulehdusten määrällä ei havaittu yhteyttä puheen ymmärrettävyyteen. ICS-FIN -asteikon kriteerivaliditeetti ja sisäinen reliabiliteetti osoittautuivat hyviksi. Lisätutkimuksia tarvitaan siitä, kuinka käyttökelpoinen suomennettu ICS-asteikko on erilaisten puhehäiriöiden tunnistamisessa ja kuntoutuksen vaikuttavuuden arvioinnissa suomenkielisillä lapsilla.
Standardikieli-ideologia arabia omana äidinkielenä -opetuksessa
Authors: Lehikoinen Mikko
Published: January 2025

Artikkeli tarkastelee arabia omana äidinkielenä -opetuksessa ilmenevien kieli-ideologioiden merkitystä sille, kuinka opettajat ymmärtävät opetuksen tehtävän ja tavoitteet, kohtaavat oppilaiden kielellisen moninaisuuden ja merkityksellistävät arabian eri rekistereitä. Tutkimus osallistuu laajempaan keskusteluun diasporisten vähemmistöäidinkielten opetuksesta ja kielen variaatioon ja puhutun ja kirjoitetun kielen eroihin liittyvistä haasteista. Analyysi perustuu yhden lukukauden aikana kahdessa opetusryhmässä toteutettuun osallistuvaan havainnointiin ja opettajien haastatteluihin. Tutkimus osoittaa, että opettajat keskittyvät yksinomaan standardiarabian opettamiseen. Diglossia, eli kirjoitetun ja puhutun kielen suuret erot, nähdään käytännön haasteena mutta toissijaisena opetuksen tavoitteiden kannalta. Kotona opitut puhekieliset varieteetit eivät näyttäydy opetuksen kannalta hyödyllisenä kielitaitona. Vaikka standardikieli-ideologialla on kielenopetuksessa yleisesti hallitseva asema, tekevät diasporinen vähemmistökonteksti ja diglossia siitä tässä yhteydessä erityisen ongelmallisen. Tutkimus kutsuu pohtimaan kriittisesti oman äidinkielen opetuksen käytänteitä, jotta niissä voitaisiin nykyistä paremmin ottaa huomioon kielten variaatio ja puhutun ja kirjoitetun kielen erot.

Problemas profesionales en la formación docente: análisis de un ciclo reflexivo
Authors: Olivares Daniela , Flores Pablo
Published: January 2025

This research was conducted in a context of continuing education of mathematics teacher trainers and seeks to describe and analyze a cycle of reflection by one teacher trainer in a workshop on professional problems. Based on a qualitative interpretive approach, content analysis was used to examine data gathered from participation in the workshop. Our analysis focused on two dimensions: the type of professional problem and the type of interest that is the focus of the reflection. The problem raised was found to evolve as the workshop progressed. While the focus of the reflections was initially technical, this later shifted toward a practical and emancipatory interest. Our conclusions suggest that a workshop of this kind can contribute to teacher trainers’ professional development and our analysis may help to systematize the study of this type of experience.

The paper, with a multidisciplinary approach, examines the relationship between land use and nature and the well-being of Sámi youth. We study how the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pay attention to the circumstances in the global north and bring up examples of typical land use conflicts in the Sámi region in Finland, Sweden, and Norway. This article draws from a diverse range of literature documents and research articles, including the Sámi youth interviews and semi-structural interviews conducted in 2019 during project Mihá. These interviews provide a human perspective and valuable insights into the experiences and perceptions of the Sámi youth, enriching our understanding of the impact of land use and nature on their well-being. Resource-based industries pose a significant threat to the livelihoods in Northern Scandinavia and have a profound impact on the lives of the Sámi youth. These industries have severe negative implications for mental and physical health, including the loss of language and culture, change in living environment, and loss of the local lifestyle. This raises serious concerns about the well-being of the Sámi youth and the social sustainability of their communities.
Tax and income transparency in Norway from 2001 to 2014
Authors: Czarny Bogusław
Published: January 2025

This article aims to present and organize the findings of the research of the Norwegian tax reform of October 2001, which resulted in an increase in transparency of taxable income, wealth, and tax paid by all citizens. The digitization of relevant data and publishing it on the Internet made all of this information accessible directly from a home computer. I have provided an overview of the historical and cultural background, as well as the direct causes of the changes introduced in Norway and their consequences. I have also described the evolution of the reform up to 2014. To reach these goals, I have reviewed the economic literature on the Norwegian reform. Protestantism, egalitarianism, and the distinct mentality of the Norwegian society were among the causes of the reform. The most important effects of the reform proved to be an increase in the state’s income from taxation, widening of the gap in well-being between the wealthy and the poor, an increase in the lowest earnings, and an increase in public support for income redistribution. The results of many studies of the 2001 tax reform in Norway presented in this article facilitate, among other things, an answer to whether and how to draw inspiration from the Nordic economic experience.

Since community-based disaster volunteers are the backbone of effective disaster preparedness programs, their helpful behavior is crucial in disaster-prone areas. The delivery of psychosocial support will be streamlined if volunteers' helpful conduct is understood. The purpose of this study is to determine the acceptability of the suggested volunteer helpful behavior model. Altruism and egoism-helping behavior are the study's endogenous variables. Social and personal norms, the degree of dependence, and the length of time spent volunteering are the exogenous variables. To address the research questions, a survey-based quantitative study was carried out. 292 community-based volunteers in the Yogyakarta Special Region Province, ages 20 to 61, participated in the survey. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was employed for data analysis. Maximum Likelihood Robust (MLR) is the estimate that is employed to overcome anomalous data. The model fits the data, according to the model accuracy index. The analysis's findings indicate that altruism helping behavior is influenced by personal norms and dependency level, and egoism helping behavior is influenced by social norms and dependency level. Implications of the study results: Building volunteer capacity must focus on enhancing society values, personal values, and circumstances enabling help such as standardized physical equipment, knowledge, and abilities.
Evaluating Tsunami Memorial Museums in Indonesia and Japan as Post-Disaster Dark Tourism Sites
Authors: Cahyanti Mega Mirasaputri
Published: January 2025

The 2011 GEJET in Japan and the 2004 IOET in Indonesia led to the development of tsunami memorial museums in these countries. While this type of tourist site is a new phenomenon in Asia, it aligns with the theory of dark tourism, which focuses on death, suffering, and disaster, particularly those caused by humans. This paper explores whether post-disaster memorial museums, caused by natural hazards, can be classified as dark tourism sites. Four key factors examined include attractiveness, exhibition content, attitude of empathy, and educational programs, to assess how these sites align with the principles of dark tourism. Primary data were gathered from eight respondents (museum managers and tour guides) using online surveys and fieldwork observations as data collection techniques. This study employed a qualitative descriptive analysis technique with a comparative case study.  The paper shows that ITMM and MTA use tragic events to heighten emotions and empathy to provide an affective educational process, which can be classified as dark tourism sites. The museum has different exhibition approaches, where MTA incorporates Islamic beliefs and spiritual elements, while ITMM uses a secular and scientific approach to evoke strong emotions. A similarity was found where both museums have symbolic memorial spaces where visitors can show respect in silence or prayer. Ethical issues are addressed by prohibiting photography and video recording out of respect for the victims. The study has implications for other countries with frequent natural disasters to develop similar museums as learning sites that promote empathy and disaster awareness.
A Deterministic Mathematical Model of Meningitis Transmission Dynamics with Vaccination and Screening

This study aims to examine the mathematical model of meningitis transmission as a deterministic model. The model includes five compartments: susceptible (S), carrier (C), infected (I), treatment (T), and recovered (R). We also consider vaccination and screening as interventions in disease transmission. In this work, we obtained two equilibrium points: disease-free equilibrium point and endemic equilibrium point. The next generation matrix is employed to compute the basic reproduction numbers ($R_0$). We also analyzed the sensitivity of parameters concerning $R_0$. If $R_0 < 1$, then the disease-free equilibrium point exists and is locally stable, whereas the endemic equilibrium point exists when $R_0 > 1$ and is locally stable if the Routh-Hurwitz criterion is satisfied. We use the Runge-Kutta 4th order method to confirm the stability properties of the equilibrium points and also show that vaccination and screening affect the transmission dynamics of Meningitis

Published: January 2025

This research aims to investigate the usefulness of the Generalized Space- Time Autoregressive (GSTAR) approach in predicting the number of fire hotspots in West Kalimantan Province. Specifically, the study compares the performance of the Queen contiguity method and the uniform weight matrix. Fires in the forests and on the land in West Kalimantan are severe problems that cause harm to the environment and other adverse effects. Data on fire hotspots were collected from four different regencies in West Kalimantan between January 2018 and March 2023 to provide the information used in this study. Compared to the uniform weight matrix, the study results reveal that the Queen contiguity weight matrix produces more accurate results. This is evidenced by the fact that the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) values are lower in the Queen contiguity weight matrix. Based on these findings, more effective techniques for preventing forest and land fires are anticipated to be considered for planning purposes.
RAINFALL MODELLING IN EAST JAVA USING A MODIFIED ORNSTEIN-UHLENBECK MODEL
Authors: Setyorini Elisabeth Yeyen , Putri Endah R. M.
Published: January 2025

One of the current global issues is climate change and weather variability. This phenomenon has real impacts on various regions, including East Java Province. East Java is experiencing increased rainfall intensity as one of the effects of climate change. High and continuous rainfall intensity can trigger disasters such as flooding, which has the potential to cause significant financial losses for the community. Therefore, effective risk management becomes crucial. One possible solution to address these risks is through the use of financial derivatives. The initial step in risk management involves modeling the behavior of rainfall. It is assumed that the rainfall pattern follows a mean-reverting process, specifically the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The existing Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model is then modified to ensure that the resulting model accurately reflects the rainfall conditions in East Java. To validate the modified model, simulations of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process were conducted using estimated parameter values. The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck simulation achieved a minimum MSE score that approaches zero. This MSE score indicate that the proposed modified Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model is accurate in representing the rainfall patterns in East Java.

Published: January 2025

Indonesia memiliki visi Indonesia Emas pada tahun 2045, namun pencapaian Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) dalam 20 tahun terakhir menunjukkan tantangan untuk mewujudkan visi tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan algoritma k-medoids untuk melakukan clustering provinsi di Indonesia berdasarkan indikator IPM tahun 2023. K-medoids dipilih karena keunggulannya dalam menangani outlier. Berdasarkan hasil perbandingan dengan metode k-means dan fuzzy c-means, metode k-medoids juga terbukti merupakan metode terbaik karena cluster yang terbentuk pada k-medoids terpisah dengan baik dan memiliki struktur yang kuat. Hasil penelitian menghasilkan tiga cluster: C1 memiliki anggota provinsi dengan IPM sangat tinggi, C2 memiliki anggota provinsi dengan IPM tinggi, sementara C3 memiliki anggota provinsi dengan IPM sedang. Analisis ini diharapkan menjadi bahan evaluasi dan referensi bagi pengembangan metode clustering.
From gut to blood: How microbiome metabolites orchestrate platelet function
Authors: Garg Rahul
Published: January 2025

The gut microbiome’s role in human health has gained significant attention, particularly regarding its metabolites’ influence on platelet function and cardiovascular health. This comprehensive review examines the complex relationship between gut microbial metabolites and platelet activity, focusing on key compounds such as trimethylamine N-oxide, 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine, and phenylacetylglutamine. These metabolites affect platelet function through both direct mechanisms, involving specific receptor interactions and calcium signaling pathways, and indirect effects through systemic inflammation. Recent research has revealed that elevated levels of these metabolites correlate with increased cardiovascular risk and altered response to antiplatelet therapy. Understanding these interactions opens new avenues for therapeutic intervention, including targeted metabolic pathway inhibition and personalized medicine approaches. While significant progress has been made, continued research is needed to fully elucidate the complex network of microbiome-platelet interactions and develop effective therapeutic strategies.
