A Novel Financial Anti-fraud Method based on Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Jiang Daokang
Published: July 2024

Digital finance is booming, financial technology is maturing, and the development of information technology has had a massively positive impact on society. However, such progress also introduces a new type of risk: the underground network industry is experiencing explosive growth, and telecommunications network fraud has caused enormous financial losses. In the age of digital finance, although commercial banks have ushered in new possibilities and created momentum, they must also confront new obstacles and needs for digital transformation. In this context, online financial services have emerged as the new primary battleground. In this study, based on the RFM high-dimensional derived features and machine learning techniques, a high-dimensional transaction behavior portraits-based anti-fraud machine learning model is created. Using big data, stream computing, and other technologies, as well as systematic deployment, application strategy, and iterative model optimization, we developed a set of machine learning-based in-event risk control solutions. Confirmed to have an AUC of 0.972, this model provides key insight into fraud risk, identifies fraudulent transactions in milliseconds, and has value and relevance for enhancing the in-transaction risk management capabilities of online digital financial organizations.

Background: Insomnia is described as "a complaint of trouble beginning or maintaining sleep associated with daily effects that are not attributed to environmental factors or insufficient chances to sleep." According to the study, Yoga was shown to be safe and effective in improving sleep for individuals experiencing insomnia (Anidra). In this study, an Integrated Yoga Module (IYM) was specifically designed to manage Anidra (Insomnia). Method: The IYM was designed following a thorough review of classical yoga texts and prior research. Twenty-five yoga experts meeting the inclusion criteria were selected to validate the content of the IYM. The IYM comprised a total of 42 yoga practices, with each practice undergoing discussion and evaluation, categorized as (1) effective, (2) useful but less effective, or (3) not effective. The Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was calculated using Lawshe's formula. The feasibility of the IYM was assessed by experts using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). To evaluate the feasibility of the intervention, we applied the developed program to 40 participants (20 in each group) in control and experimental groups for 45 days, with sessions conducted five days a week. Result: Data analysis revealed that, among the 22 IYM practices, 17 demonstrated significant content validity with a CVR exceeding the 0.44 cut-off, as determined by Lawshe's formula. Conversely, five yoga practices fell below the 0.44 CVR and were therefore rejected. Moreover, a significant improvement in sleep quality was observed in the experimental group. Conclusion: The yoga module designed and validated for the management of insomnia or A nidra is acknowledged as well accepted with good content validity and an efficacious program for insomnia management.
Balance de las políticas de educación superior en la Cuarta Transformación (2018-2024)
Authors: Casillas Alvarado Miguel Angel , López Zárate Romualdo
Published: July 2024

Este libro trata, desde diferentes posturas y marcos valorativos, la docencia, la investigación y la extensión y difusión de la cultura en el nivel superior durante la autodenominada Cuarta Transformación. Evidentemente hay coincidencias de referencia en la mayor parte de los artículos porque toman en cuenta hechos que están presentes: hay una nueva regulación con respecto a la educación superior: un nuevo artículo tercero constitucional, una nueva Ley General de Educación Superior, un extemporáneo Programa Nacional de Educación superior publicado a fines de 2023, un nuevo CONAHCyT, nuevas reglas del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores. Casi todos los articulistas comparten los principios y objetivos de la Cuarta Transformación: la educación superior como un derecho y por ende la obligación del estado de proporcionarla; una educación incluyente, sobre todo para aquellos que históricamente han sido excluidos; una educación superior que sea gratuita en un corto plazo y universal para todos aquellos egresados de la educación media superior que deseen continuar sus estudios; una ciencia que contribuya a resolver los grandes problemas nacionales; un nuevo sistema de evaluación y acreditación de instituciones, programas, académicos y estudiantes; la construcción de un nuevo sistema de información que sea confiable, oportuno y accesible. Está claro para todos los participantes que la intención del presidente de la República, recogida y avalada por la Subsecretaría de Educación Superior y el CONAHCyT fue y es marcar una ruptura con los 30 años de un conjunto políticas públicas “neoliberales” y tratar de proponer una nueva perspectiva para la educación superior. En el balance que hacen los autores de lo realizado en el sexenio se reconocen algunos avances, pero se documenta que están lejos de cumplir medianamente las expectativas. Tres son los factores más mencionados: a) una vuelta al centralismo en la toma de decisiones en lugar de buscar la participación de las instituciones; b) una notoria ausencia de políticas públicas para llevar a cabo los propósitos; y c) un incumplimiento flagrante del ejecutivo y del legislativo al no asignar los fondos establecidos en la Ley General de educación superior para atender gradualmente la universalización y gratuidad y, además, una reducción del presupuesto, a pesos constantes, del presupuesto asignado a la educación superior, la ciencia y la tecnología.
Consequential Effect of Intake of Fatty Acid through Milk and Butterfat (Ghee)
Authors: Balakrishnan Indu , K J Athira , S Aswathy
Published: July 2024

Milk fat is observed to have high nutritional properties and other health benefits. The fat in milk is the most complicated natural fat since it comprises over 400 distinct fatty acids. The saturated fatty acids present in milk account for approximately 70% by weight (5). The most important fatty acid from a quantitative viewpoint is palmitic acid (16:0), which accounts for approximately 30% by weight of the total fatty acids. Myristic acid (14:0) and stearic acid (18:0) make up 11 and 12% by weight, respectively. Oleic acid is the major unsaturated fatty acid present in milk. The fatty acid composition of milk fat determines its nutritional value. The fatty acids found in milk vary in terms of their structure, cis or trans isomers, amount and location of double bonds, and chain length. The chemical makeup and content of the fatty acids present determine the physical and nutritional characteristics of the fat. The fatty acids in milk also have nutritional value and offer certain health advantages. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and other polyunsaturated fatty acids are considered to help prevent coronary artery disease (CAD) and other age-related neurodegenerative illnesses. Many of these therapeutic properties are unknown even today. The impact of fatty acids on human health is a topic that is always under dispute. Here we discuss how fatty acids act in terms of human health. Regulations have been implemented to ensure reduced risk due to the intake of fatty acids like trans fatty acids. Trans fats can increase the risk of CHD.

The Indonesian government has designated halal certification as a key factor in enhancing the competitiveness of local products and facilitating the expansion of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the food sector. Furthermore, the government has underscored that starting in 2024, products circulating in the community that are not halal-certificated will face sanctions in accordance with the provisions outlined in Presidential Regulation No. 39 of 2021. In response to this, the government initiated the SEHATI (Gratis Halal Certificate) program, with a quota of one million certificates made available throughout the year. The implementation of Observation Experience, particularly in the Andir Subdistrict, Baleendah District, Bandung Regency, encompasses one of the programs aimed at assisting UMKM practitioners in obtaining halal certification for their products. This program is undertaken to maximize the fulfillment of the SEHATI program quota provided by the government and to assist UMKM practitioners who may lack understanding of the halal certification registration process. It also serves as an educational effort, specifically targeting UMKM practitioners, to raise awareness about the importance of halal certification for marketed products. The execution of this program is futher guided by LP3H (Institution for Assisting the Halal Product Process) to ensure that the procedures for registering halal certificated products align with established standards and to gain trust from the surrounding community, especially UMKM practitioners, that this program is government-based and not fraudulent.
Análisis de “Historia del guerrero y la cautiva” de Jorge Luis Borges a través de los imaginarios femeninos de Cegarra y Butler
Authors: Solís Romero Victoria Gabriela , Flores Flores Jorge Alan
Published: July 2024

El análisis de los imaginarios femeninos en la obra narrativa de Jorge Luis Borges, especialmente en el cuento "Historia del guerrero y la cautiva", permite explorar las complejas interacciones entre género, poder y representación en la literatura. Utilizando las teorías de los imaginarios sociales de José Cegarra y la performatividad de Judith Butler, se desentrañan las capas de significación en las representaciones femeninas de Borges. La señora inglesa y la india, personajes centrales del cuento, desafían las normas de género y las estructuras de poder colonial a través de sus acciones, redefiniendo su identidad y mostrando resistencia y adaptación. Este análisis revela cómo Borges construye personajes femeninos que, aunque ficticios, reflejan y cuestionan las realidades sociales de su tiempo.

Design of a large format printing platform that allows the extrusion of composite materials based on pellets and continuous fibers.
Authors: Hoyos Alejandro , Solarte Jefferson , Mercado Francisco , Rojas Álvaro
Published: July 2024

Commonly additive manufacturing (AM) through the technique of extrusion of molten material is used to manufacture prototypes. This is mainly because the materials commonly used in these technologies are thermoplastics of low mechanical performance. That is why this project seeks the development of an extrusion head that uses polymeric matrix composite materials in the form of pellets and reinforcements of natural or synthetic continuous fibers in order to be used in a large format MA system, which allows the manufacture of objects with better functional and mechanical performance than those found conventionally. For this purpose, different stages were carried out for the development of the project, starting with the design and construction of the printing platform; followed by the design of an extrusion head that allows the integration of a polymeric matrix and continuous fibers. As a result, printed traces were obtained using PLA pellets and glass fiber, resulting in a total coating of the fiber on the printed material.

This has led to the assumption that breast milk cannot meet the needs of babies, working mothers whose workplaces do not have facilities to store expressed breast milk or who do not facilitate regulations for workers to express breast milk. In fact, breast milk is the best living fluid that babies really need, which contains various substances that are important for the baby's growth and development and suit their needs. So the aim of this research is to find out the factors that influence mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding in Anrong Appaka Village, Kab. Pangkep. This research is an observational analytical study with a cross sectional approach. The research population was mothers who had babies aged 6-22 months in Anrong Appaka Village, Kab. Pangkep. The sample consisted of 32 people. This research uses a data collection tool in the form of a questionnaire. The research results show that there is a significant relationship between work, education and exclusive breastfeeding. The conclusion is that the job characteristics of the majority of respondents are not working. The majority of respondents have higher education. Bivariate test results There is a significant relationship between employment, education and exclusive breastfeeding.

Indonesia is a developing country with a high population increase. The increasing population situation makes it difficult to improve and equalize people's welfare. The higher the population growth, the greater the efforts made to maintain people's welfare. One strategy to reduce the birth rate is through the use of contraception. However, there are several factors that influence the choice of contraception, including level of knowledge, age, birth spacing and parity and postpartum counseling. So this research aims to explain the analysis of factors that influence the choice of type of contraception in couples of childbearing age at Batara Siang Regional Hospital. Research Design: The type of research is quantitative descriptive correlation with a cross sectional design. The population in this study was all family planning acceptors at Batara Siang Regional Hospital in April 2020. The research sample was 47 couples of childbearing age at Batara Siang Regional Hospital using an accidental sampling technique. The results of the research show that the p value obtained from the Wald test for the age variable is 0.039, which means there is a relationship between age in choosing a contraceptive method. This relationship is statistically significant (OR= 11.139; p = 0.039), the education variable shows that the p value obtained from the Wald test for the education variable is 0.014, which means there is a relationship between education and the choice of long-term contraceptive methods. Conclusion: There is a significant influence between age and education and the choice of type of contraception in couples of childbearing age at Batara Siang Regional Hospital.

Background. Septoplasty is one of the most popular operative procedures in otorhinolaryngology and plastic surgery. The surgical technique of the operation is widely variable: endoscopic, endonasal and open interventions are pos-sible. Methods for eliminating nasal septum defects can be divided into two categories – Killian incision and Cottle septoplasty. Cottle septoplasty has two main advantages: it allows preserving a large portion of the nasal septum and doesn’t require bilateral mucosal separation. This reduces the risk of nasal tip droop, saddle nose deformity and septal hematoma. This surgical technique can cause typical complications; one of the most common is excessive bleeding. Patients with combined septoplasty and turbinoplasty more commonly have septal hematoma, hyposmia, prolonged healing due to infection, and adhesions. The aim of the study. To analyze the development of complications after septoplasty. Materials and methods. We carried out a retrospective analysis of clinical cases of patients who underwent sep-toplasty in Irkutsk for the period from 2022 to 2023. During this period, 34 patients met the study criteria. Surgical treatment included endonasal septoplasty with turbinoplasty. Results. When constructing a logistic analysis, a surgery duration of more than 100 minutes was established as a statistically significant predictor of bleeding (odds ratio – 53.9; 95% confidence interval: 1.02–941.0; p = 0.049). A model with good predictive value was obtained (AUC = 0.73). The sensitivity and specificity of the test were 50 % and 96.88 %, respectively. The overall level of statistical significance is 94.12 %. Conclusion. The information obtained on the predictors of postoperative bleeding after septoplasty allows us to pre-dict negative outcomes and to prevent their development using active hemostatic procedures. The use of tranexamic acid for patients at risk for postoperative bleeding will reduce the complication rate.

Authors: Karpenko Maria Y. ,   Krasnoyarsk State Emergency Hospital named after N.S. Karpovich
Published: July 2024

Background. Official statistics on the incidence of listeriosis does not reflect its real incidence rate, despite the increase in registered cases of the disease in various regions of Russia. The aim of the study. To draw attention to the diagnosis of listeriosis, especially in maternity institutions. Materials and methods. We conducted a descriptive study of 8 patients with listeriosis (7 adults, 1 child), registered in 2022–2023 in Krasnoyarsk regional hospitals. Bacteriological testing was carried out in the laboratories of hospi-tals where the patients were treated. Identification of isolated bacteria was carried out using the Maldi-Tof method on Vitec MS (BioMerieux, France) and Microflex (Bruker, Germany) mass spectrometers. Description of clinical cases. In 2022–2023, in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, for the first time in the last 10 years, 8 cases of listeriosis were registered (7 women, 1 child). 5 women were admitted to the infectious diseases department after pre-mature complicated labor, including 4 cases of cesarean section. All children were born with congenital disorders of varying severity. One child died on the second day after birth. Two cases are not associated with pregnancy – acute appendicitis and bacterial meningitis. All adults were hospitalized for a medical emergency. The results of bacteriological examination were crucial for making a diagnosis. The incidence of listeriosis was 0.15 per 100 thousand population of the region and 0.84–0.98 per 1000 postpartum women and patients in the infectious diseases department. Conclusion. The described cases confirm the relevance of using modern methods of laboratory diagnosis of listeri-osis and infection control, especially in obstetric medical insitutions.

Published: July 2024

Background. The severe complications caused by cystic fibrosis require comprehensive study. Consideration of rare clinical variants of the course of the disease is an important task for understanding the polymorphism of cystic fibrosis clinical manifestations. The aim of the work. To present a clinical case of congenital meconium peritonitis, small intestine volvulus and necrosis of meconium pseudocyst of the abdominal cavity associated with cystic fibrosis, for further treatment improvement and prevention of complications. Results. The article presents a clinical case of cystic fibrosis caused by a combination of pathogenic mutations in the CFTR gene (mutation delta F508; p.Phe508 and CFTRdele2,3). Against this background, meconium pseudo-cyst, meconium peritonitis and small intestine volvulus developed. Conclusion. Doctors are required to be wary of hereditary pathology if patients have concomitant congenital intestinal malformations.

Breast cancer (BC) survivors treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) typically exhibit various pathological issues, including bone loss, poor oral health, and vitamin D deficiency. Nonetheless, chronic oral disorders are even often neglected in women with BC, and explicit indications regarding oral health screening, evaluation, and treatment to prevent cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL) are lacking. A close link between oral health status and CTIBL might be explained, in part, by the systemic inflammation that characterizes both conditions. In this scenario, the effects of vitamin D (as an inflammation down-regulator) on immune systems are widely acknowledged. Vitamin D might facilitate upregulation of MAP kinases and inhibit the NF-kB signaling pathway, with crucial implications for cytokine serum levels, the prostaglandin inflammation pathway, and the immune cell system. Vitamin D deficiency, smoking, and insufficient usage of dental floss have been found to harm oral health in women with BC receiving AIs. Consequently, vitamin D deficiency screening and supplementation and an appropriate oral rehabilitation strategy should be advised and implemented in the comprehensive therapeutic approach to women with BC treated with AIs. KEY WORDS: Vitamin D, vitamin D deficiency, oral health, periodontal diseases, breast cancer.

Osteoporosis, a prevalent age-related condition, is characterized by decreased in bone mass and bone quality. Among the pathogenetic mechanisms, cellular senescence has been suggested to induce inflammation and affect bone cell function, contributing to bone fragility. In this context, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, emerges as a central regulator of musculoskeletal health, influencing osteoblastic differentiation, suppressing osteoclastic activity and maintaining bone mass by the deacetylation of critical targets. Interestingly, a close association was found between an elevated senescence-associated secretory phenotype and aged bone cells, confirming a role for senescence in bone aging. The aim of our minireview is to highlight cellular senescence as a key factor in osteoporosis, focusing on the central role of SIRT1 and exploring potential strategies to modulate its activity, including diet, exercise and pharmacological interventions. In conclusion, enhancing SIRT1 activity represents a potential therapeutic approach for age-related bone disorders, offering interesting perspectives for future research and therapeutic development. KEY WORDS: SIRT1, osteoporosis aging senescence bone cells, diet, exercise, pharmacological interventions.
