EFFICIENCY INCREASING OF ORGANISATIONAL AND MANAGEMENT RESTRUCTURING OF THE ENTERPRISE BY INCREASING STAFF ENGAGEMENT
Authors:   Limited Liability Company "Technical University "Metinvest Polytechnic", Skrabak Iryna
Published: February 2025

The negative impact of resistance to organisational changes on the efficiency of organisational and managerial restructuring of enterprise was substantiated in the article. This is due to the significant expenditure of resources to overcome resistance. It was found that the most common methods of ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of restructuring were aimed at overcoming resistance to change. It was substantiated that increasing the readiness of staff for organisational change has a positive impact on the effectiveness of restructuring, if it was accompanied by staff commitment to the organisation. The levels of commitment to the organisation were analysed and it was proved that the involvement of staff in the life of the company can be an instrument for improving the efficiency of restructuring. At the same time, job satisfaction and employee loyalty to the organisation are components of staff engagement. The author proposes directions of formation of drivers of increasing staff engagement, which include: alignment of personal goals with the goals of the organisation, corporate culture, interaction and communication. As components of the first area, satisfaction with working conditions, professional and social recognition, professional and career growth were proposed. The transformation of corporate culture was proposed to be aimed at strengthening such values as labour productivity, leadership, and teamwork. These directions of formation of drivers for increasing staff engagement should be implemented on the basis of transformation of the enterprise's motivation system. It was substantiated that the components of interaction and communication, in addition to the developed feedback from the company's employees, should include those that ensure the possibility of forming staff engagement even before the recruit starts working in the company with subsequent onboarding, as well as maintaining communication with employees who have left but may be useful to the enterprise. This direction of forming the drivers of staff engagement should be implemented through appropriate changes in the enterprise's communication system.
APPROACHES TO THE INTERPRETATION OF THE TERM "E-AUDIT" IN THE SCIENTIFIC AND PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics, Denysenko Oleksandr
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of approaches to the interpretation of the term “ e-audit” in the scientific and professional environment. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to increase the efficiency of tax control in the context of digitalization of the economy and the introduction of the latest technologies in audit activities. In the course of the study, the author analyzes the dynamics of the frequency of occurrence of the word “e-audit” in the English-language literature during 2000-2022, which indicates an increasing interest of scholars in the issues of electronic audit. The article considers various approaches to explaining the essence of electronic audit, tax audit and tax e-audit itself. Based on the study of the opinions of theorists and practitioners, the author identifies the main features of tax e-audit which determine the essential content of this concept, namely: increased use of computer technologies, standardized format for providing electronic data, a significant level of automation of audit procedures, focus on verification of the correctness of tax calculation and payment, remote format of audit, electronic data exchange between the taxpayer and controlling authorities, and implementation by a separate specialized body. As a result of the study, the author's definition of the term “tax e-audit” is formulated as a type of audit implemented by tax authorities to verify the accuracy, completeness of tax liabilities, timeliness of their payment, and is characterized by active use of digital technologies, a unified format for providing electronic data, a high degree of automation of procedures, and remote communication between the taxpayer and the controlling authorities. The author highlights the positive aspects of the proposed definition, which takes into account the key features that distinguish tax e-audit from regular electronic audit, tax audit, and other types of control procedures implemented by tax authorities. Further research in this area will focus on identifying methodological techniques and procedures for e-audit of taxpayers, building an organizational and information model of such a system, and determining the parameters for diagnostic self-assessment of large taxpayers in Kyiv when generating SAF-T UA.

Published: February 2025

El aumento en la recaudación ha sido una preocupación constante de los gobiernos en México. Las entidades federativas siguen siendo dependientes financieros de la federación por lo que necesitan reforzar sus haciendas públicas a través de sus ordenamientos jurídicos tributarios, un instrumento jurídico considerado de mayor importancia es el Código Fiscal en los estados o sus equivalentes, lo anterior debido a que es utilizado por las áreas operativas de la hacienda pública en el ejercicio de sus funciones. Es necesario que los gobiernos locales refuercen y verifiquen sus legislaciones tributarias estatales con el objeto de modernizar su marco jurídico. El Código fiscal o su equivalente en las entidades federativas debe ser moderno y equilibrado, cuyo propósito sea facilitar el cumplimiento de las obligaciones fiscales y modernizarse además con la tecnología, y que respete el límite que debe guardar la autoridad con los derechos del contribuyente.
RISK MATURITY FOR SUSTAINABILITY ASSITANCE: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY IN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
Authors: Basbeth Firdaus
Published: February 2025

A risk maturity assessment is a useful tool for construction firms to evaluate both their strengths and weaknesses in risk management procedures and take the required steps to improve them. The assessment was conducted in a building construction project, to determine the level of risk maturity for two consecutive years in May, 20023 and 2024. The activities were carried out in four projects, covering the most important activities of risk management and analyzing the improvement. The RMM matrix used in this article is adapted from the Logic Manager, which consists of seven sections, each focusing on a different core ERM attribute. These seven areas are further broken down into 25 success components and 71 competency drivers that show exactly where an organization's ERM program stands on five maturity levels, ranging from Ad Hoc to Leadership. The model helps construction companies understand their current risk management performance. We tested the model by measuring the risk maturity level of an industrial partner working on civil infrastructure projects in Indonesia. The result of the Risk Maturity Level (RML) assessment is 3.6 (Managed), an increase of 0.3 points from the result in 2023 (3.3), reflected in several achievements in criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7, including a Risk committee formed to plan based on external and internal analysis of the organization. This study demonstrates that employing risk maturity management techniques may promote corporate development and efficiency, resulting in resilience and sustainability.

THEMATIC PECULIARITIES OF CHARACTERS IN POSTMODERN LITERARY TEXTS FOR CHILDREN
Authors: Андрєєва Марія Андріївна
Published: February 2025

The research focuses on the thematic peculiarities of characters in postmodern literary texts for children. Accordingly, a brief analytical analysis has been foregrounded considering innovative character images in postmodern literary texts for children (characters with special needs and self-realised characters) and implementation of the peculiar for British linguistic culture character of a disadvantaged child in postmodern narratives. In the postmodern period, important social issues such as personality development, motivation, inclusion, equality, family relationships, and environmental protection are introduced to children’s literature. Such themes are realised in literary texts, particularly through their characters. Diversity and inclusion belong to the most important themes reflected in postmodern fiction for children. They are implemented in postmodern fairy tales and other narratives through the portrayal of characters of different genders, races, nationalities, religions, social classes, and characters with special needs. Through literary texts centred on a character with special needs, a child-reader learns to recognise negative stereotypes about people with special needs, and develops tolerance, awareness and sensitivity to diversity. Another peculiar feature of postmodern literary texts for children is the self-realised character who succeeds in a particular activity due to hard work and effort. Such success stories inspire the child-reader to move towards their goal. They can be unconventionally realised through animalistic characters. The analysis also revealed that the protagonist of postmodern literary texts for children (particularly those written by R. Dahl) can be a disadvantaged child-character, which is typical of British linguistic culture. The prototypes of such characters are the pivotal child-characters of C. Dickens’ narratives. Through such characters, postmodern literary texts for children address important social issues (social inequality, material disadvantage and single-parent families).
НАРАТИВИ ВІЙНИ: ІМЕРСИВНІ ТЕХНІКИ У ХУДОЖНІХ ТЕКСТАХ ТА КІНОТЕКСТАХ
Authors: Бєлєхова Лариса Іванівна , Цапів Алла Олексіївна
Published: February 2025

Наукову розвідку присвячено дослідженню наративів війни, реалізованих у кінотекстах різних жанрів. Матеріалом дослідження слугували наративи, створені у період з 2020 по 2022 рр. як рефлексія на тривалу війну росії проти України. Унікальність таких наративів полягає в тому, що їх автор, читач/глядач і події, які розгортаються, існують у єдиному часовому просторі. Історії людей, що знаходяться у країні, в якій триває війна, є історіями реального життя в окупації, на територіях, де тривають воєнні дії, а люди живуть у стані війни кожен день. Особлива імерсивність створюється завдяки тому, що читачі/глядачі таких наративів мають однаковий досвід життя у країні, яка веде визвольну боротьбу проти загарбника. Наративи війни постають історіями про життя під час війни, життя в окупації, життя під обстрілами і загрозою життю, яке рухається паралельно із життям повсякденним, сімейними переживаннями і справжніми почуттями. Унікальність наративних технік створюється завдяки когнітивно-наративним операціям, які забезпечують нерозривність історії, фокалізації, нарації, реального досвіду автора і глядача та часового континууму, що огортає художній і реальний світи. У такий спосіб створюється часово-просторовий імерсивний бленд реального і фікційного, об’єктивного і чуттєвого, переосмисленого і пережитого. У роботі запропоновано власну типологію наративів війни: наративні хроніки війни, художні кінонаративи війни та імерсивні наративи війни. Однією з унікальних властивостей таких наративів є паралельне розгортання історії війни, що відбивається в країні, та історії звичайних людей, які живуть в окупації, під обстрілами, в небезпеці, проте намагаються зберегти гідність, моральні цінності і значущість справжніх почуттів. Наративи війни, створені виключно свідками військових подій в Україні, мають у своєму підґрунті реальні або переосмислені історії життя та зберігають правдивість та об’єктивність відображення російсько-української війни.

Dividend policy’s determinants: The case of Jordanian banks
Authors: Twairesh Abdullah Ewayed
Published: February 2025

Examining the factors unique to the bank that impact dividend policy is the primary objective of this research. Dividend yield serves as the independent variable. The factors used to explain the relationship are ROA, MBV, LQ, and BS which stand for risk, liquidity and bank size. Annual data acquired from the financial reports of Jordanian banks from 2006–2023 together with a fixed effect model were used to conduct this study. There are twelve banks with two hundred and sixteen observations in this research. The study found that dividend policy in Jordanian banks is favourably impacted by ROA and LQ and the bank size (BS) variable is adversely affected by the market-to-book (MBV) variable. Banks in Jordan are unaffected by the risk (price per share/earnings per share) variable. The mentioned variables influence the factors that investors in Jordanian banks consider when making investment or dividend policy choices.

Published: February 2025

This research aims to examine the influence of forensic accounting understanding and auditor personality type on audit quality through fraud detection with the support of the auditee organization as a moderating variable. The object of this research is the Indonesian Supreme Audit Agency, with research subjects being auditors at the head office and representatives of the Indonesian Financial Audit Agency, totaling 4,416 auditors. This research employs the Sequential Explanatory Mixed Method methodology, which integrates elements of both qualitative and quantitative research approaches into a single study.  The results of this research indicate that the auditor's personality (agreeableness and conscientiousness) and fraud detection have a significant effect on audit quality. Fraud detection is able to mediate the influence of the auditor's personality, openness to experience, and understanding of forensic accounting on audit quality. The auditor's openness to experience significantly influences audit quality through fraud detection. Understanding forensic accounting has a significant effect on audit quality through fraud detection. Organizational support enhances the impact of auditor agreement and conscientiousness on audit quality. The impact of auditors' forensic accounting knowledge on audit quality is not heightened by the auditee's organizational support. The practical implications of this research offer valuable insights and contributions to auditors at Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK), aiming to enhance the personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience, thereby enhancing audit quality. Conscientiousness, openness to experience, and extraversion personality types can detect fraud.

Published: February 2025

The Chittagong-Comilla-Sylhet regions of the Chittagong-Tripura Fold Belt host most of the gas fields in Bangladesh, primarily within the anticlinal structures. The Tertiary Bhuban and Boka Bil formations are the key hydrocarbon-bearing zones where hydrocarbon has been encountered at depths ranging from 1000 to 4000 m in various producing gas fields. The study aims to analyze the hydrocarbon prospects in the shallower stratigraphic successions, particularly the upper part of the Boka Bil Formation in a commercial gas field in Bangladesh where gas is being extracted from depths of 3000–4000 m.   Utilizing 3D seismic and wireline log data, we assessed the shallower prospective zones above the conventional producing depth, extending up to 2000 m, which have not yet been explored for hydrocarbon potential in the field. In the study, a classical interpretation approach, precise horizon mapping, and application of various seismic attribute analysis techniques are used to highlight amplitude anomalies indicative of gas accumulation. Results suggest the existence of a new gas-bearing zone at   with an estimated resource potential of approximately 23.75 billion cubic feet (BCF).   Correlating the new prospective zone with the similar geologic features (channel bounded strata showing higher reflection) observed in deeper producing zone of the field enhances the confidence of our findings.  This study may open new prospecting avenues for exploration in the studied field as well as the adjacent fields.

Authors: Ahmed Asib , Ferdous Zannatul , Kabir Md Humayun , Rahman Obaidur , Ahmed Rezwan , Ryhan Md Abu
Published: February 2025

The geographical positioning of coastal Bangladesh makes it more exposed to cyclonic events. Building cyclone shelters is a vital strategy for reducing the risk of natural hazards in the coastal area of Bangladesh. But often they are not easily accessible and well facilitated. This paper aims to assess the accessibility of current cyclone shelters in six upazilas of the coastal region of Bangladesh. AccessMod 5 tool was used to simulate travel time to cyclone shelters, providing insights into shelter accessibility and aiding in identifying areas requiring infrastructural improvements. Referral analysis was used to calculate optimal routes and travel times between starting points and cyclone shelters and zonal statistics to assess areas or populations within specific travel times to shelters. The coverage analysis for the study area was carried out to shed light on the existing coverage of cyclone shelters across its districts. Cyclone shelters in the southeast of the study area have longer travel times due to limited road accessibility; which makes delays for 30 to 60 minutes. People can reach cyclone shelters within 30 minutes in Char Fassion. In comparison, Barguna Sadar poses challenges, especially within the one-hour criterion. While some unions show reasonable accessibility metrics, others, particularly in the southeast, highlight the urgent need for infrastructure and strategic improvements to ensure optimal cyclone shelter accessibility.

THE MORPHOSYNTAX OF CAUSATIVE CONSTRUCTION IN DAWAN LANGUAGE
Authors: Benu Naniana N. , Daar Gabriel Fredi
Published: February 2025

In order to understand the structure, procedure, and causative marking of the Dawan language, this paper addresses causative construction in the Dawan language. Since the writer is a native speaker of the language, the primary data from the field study was corroborated by written materials like the bible in the Dawan language as well as by intuitive data. The elicitation technique combined the two sets of data to obtain valid data. The outcome demonstrates four distinct forms of causative construction: affixation, complex sentences, verb serialisation, and the addition of a causer argument. The transitive form, derived from an intransitive clause, adds the causer argument. S is transferred to the O function, and a causer argument is added to the A function. The conjunction natuin or fun indicates causative marking in a complex sentence. This study considers the Dawan language's causative verb serialisation the most fruitful construction. There are two types of this construction: causative serialisation and cause-effect serialisation. In the first type, V1 is an action verb with the lexical meaning "causative," V2 is the outcome (effect) of what V1 has done. In contrast to the first, the causative verbs moe/mo'e "make" and eik "bring" occupy V1 in causative serialisation, while the outcome of the action in V1 occupies V2. The final method is causative construction by affixation, or the morphological process.

This study aimed to analyze the test items of multiple choice questions on an English summative test. It examines the quality of the teacher-made test in terms of difficulty level, discrimination power, and the effectiveness of distractors. A descriptive method is applied to describe and analyze the data. The instrument for the data collection is a documentary with a document analysis technique in examining the data. The research finding shows that the test has low reliability. Regarding difficulty level, the majority of items (82,5%) are easy, 5 % desirable and 12,5% difficult. Only 7,5 % of the items were categorized as good discrimination power, while 72% were at a poor level and 20% were at a satisfactory level. Furthermore, only 3 % of the questions showed that the distractors worked effectively. It is concluded that the test needed to be revised, and test makers’ comprehension of the quality of the test is needed to determine the quality of a reasonable and appropriate language assessment.
Las nueve sinfonías de Humberto Salgado

Published: February 2025

Es muy bien sabido que el plan general de la sinfonía lo conforman cuatro movimientos definidamente individualizados, tanto por su carácter anímico como por su agogia, al trasluz del pensamiento ideológico y estilo del compositor. De dichos movimientos, el primero es de arquitectura “fija”, y es el que determina la fisionomía formal de la obra. A los tres restantes se los puede calificar de “variables”, puesto que en ellos el sinfonista se halla facultado de adoptar la factura tradicional u ordenarlos conforme a su ego creador, mas, circunscrito a los proporciones - o latitud - de las grandes formas musicales.[...]

Enlisting Citizen Developers to Deliver Digital Business Value With Generative AI & Low-Code Development Platforms
Authors: Krogh Erik , Chun Mark W.S.
Published: February 2025

Enterprise IT organizations face a chronic undersupply of trained programming professionals leading to an application supply-demand disequilibrium. To address this unmet need, Generative AI (GenAI) and Low-Code Development Platforms (LCDP) are maturing and making application development by non-professional programmers a viable possibility. Using GenAI and LCDPs, “Citizen Developers” can rapidly develop and deploy applications to deliver business functionality using IT-sanctioned platforms. However, several issues need to be considered before Citizen Developers can safely produce usable applications. GenAI as an application development platform is a recent phenomenon with limited experiential data as to its viability: therefore, our paper presents a case study of the five-year journey that one enterprise took to implement a LCDP, recounting the successes and challenges in adopting the platform.
REIT Price-to-Net Asset Value, Performance, and Managerial Entrenchment
Authors: Sahin Olgun Fuat
Published: February 2025

This study examines P/NAV dynamics in the REIT industry, utilizing NAV estimates from SNL Financial and stock returns and distributions from CRSP. The findings reveal that REITs typically trade at a premium to their NAVs around IPOs, transitioning to a discount approximately 30 months later. The analysis also shows a positive association between P/NAV and future excess NAV returns, consistent with Chay and Trzcinka (1999). Furthermore, the results suggest high past excess stock returns indicate managerial ability, creating market expectations reflected in premiums. However, when controlling cross-sectional correlation, this relationship loses statistical significance. Additional findings indicate that REITs with positive excess NAV returns, longer public trading histories, or CEO replacements are likelier to trade at a premium to NAV. In contrast, those led by older CEOs, CEOs with longer tenures, or recent outside appointments tend to trade at a discount. Although the negative relationship between CEO tenure and P/NAV is not statistically significant, it supports Berk and Stanton’s (2007) assertion that entrenched CEOs contribute to NAV discounts.

Strengthening Family Commitment in Monitoring Child Development through the Role of Filial Values
Authors: Utami Sri , Susilaningrum Rekawati , Yunita Evi
Published: February 2025

Background: Monitoring the development of children under five by families is essential for optimal child development. Family commitment in this context is influenced by various factors, including personal factors and family resources. This study aims to analyze the influence of monitoring on child development, with a focus on the role of filial values as a mediator variable. Methods: This study used an explanatory, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 275 families with toddlers within the health center working area in Surabaya City, selected through simple random sampling. The variables assessed include factors influencing family commitment. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using SEM-PLS. Results: The findings showed that personal factors and resource factors significantly influence family commitment to monitoring the development of children under five, mediated by the filial values. The coefficient for the effect of personal factors on behavioral factors was 0.149 (p = 0.028); for resource factors on cognition behavior, 0.541 (p = 0.000); for cognition behavior on filial values, 0.493 (p = 0.000); for cognition behavior on commitment, 0.1113 (p = 0.024); and for filial values on commitment, 0.697 (p = 0.000). Conclusions: Filial values play a crucial role in enhancing the impact of personal factors and family resources on family commitment to monitoring the child development. Further research is needed on an intervention that strengthens the filial value of families to enhance family commitment to optimizing the monitoring of children’s development. Personal factors and family resources are key in shaping family commitment, with filial values strengthening this relationship. Emphasizing personal aspects, family resources, and filial values is essential to increase family commitment in monitoring child development.

Published: February 2025

Background: Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. One of the significant changes during this period is changes in behavior related to sexual life. Adolescent sexual behavior that is almost identical to adolescence is dating behavior. Dating relationships are colored by cases of violence, especially by men. According to UN Women (2021) shows that at least 736 million women, and 87% of them are committed by people closest to them, including dating violence. Family Functioning is the quality of relationships between family members, one of which is the role of parents in preventing dating violence because parents are the first place of socialization before children socialize with the outside environment. Therefore, this study aims to explore the impact of Family Functioning on dating violence behavior among adolescents. Methods: This study employed a case study approach. Data collection was performed between November 2023 and March 2024 through in-depth interviews with two groups: one adolescent who had experienced dating violence and another who had not. Results: The finding found that adolescent who experienced dating violence came from dysfunctional families, while adolescent who did not experience dating violence were from families with higher levels of family functioning. Conclusions: The study indicates that adolescents from dysfunctional families are more prone to dating violence, while those from well-functioning families are less affected. This emphasizes the critical role of family dynamics in adolescent experiences. Future research should develop interventions to enhance family functioning and examine these dynamics across various cultural settings.
The cutting-edge applications and properties of carbon nanotubes in diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer: a review
Authors: Abdollahi Boraei Seyyed Behnam , Kamalinejad Fateme , Kiaei Negin
Published: February 2025

Lung cancer, a predominant source of cancer-related mortality, poses considerable obstacles for conventional therapies. Carbon nanotubes, an innovative category of nanomaterials, have surfaced as prospective agents for cancer treatment owing to their distinctive characteristics. This article examines the potential of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the treatment of lung cancer, emphasizing their roles in targeted drug delivery, photothermal and photodynamic therapy, and gene therapy. The high surface area, electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility of CNTs render them optimal for the delivery of anticancer medications, thereby augmenting their efficacy and minimizing side effects. Furthermore, CNTs can be employed in photothermal and photodynamic therapy, facilitating cell death via heat production or oxidative stress. Furthermore, carbon nanotubes can effectively transport genetic material for gene therapy, providing a focused method for lung cancer treatment. Despite limitations like as clinical translation, carbon nanotubes exhibit significant potential as novel instruments for enhancing lung cancer therapy outcomes.

Viruses are obligate parasites, that use the host’s internal metabolic systems for their own reproduction. This complicates the search for molecular targets to prevent the spread of viral infection without disrupting the vital functions of human cells. Defective interfering particles (DIPs) are natural competitors of viruses for important resources of viral reproduction. DIPs emerge during infection, originate from the normal viral replication process and inhibit its progression, making them an interesting candidate for antiviral therapy. Here we describe the biology of DIPs, advances in DIP-based antiviral technology, analyze their therapeutic potential and provide a systemic overview of existing preventive and therapeutic antiviral strategies.

Published: February 2025

Objectives

Microorganisms contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity, while more studies focus on gut microbiome. However, the relationship between oral microbiota and obesity has yet to be elucidated. This study was designed to investigate the similarities and differences in the effects of a high-fat diet on salivary and gut microbiota through mouse experiments, exploring the hypothesis that oral microbial mechanisms may contribute to obesity.

Methods

An obese mouse model was established in male C57BL/6J mice by feeding a high-fat diet, confirmed by body weight records and blood glucose tests. This study evaluated the physiological effects of the high-fat diet on mice. 16S rRNA sequencing technology was used to analyze changes in salivary and gut microbiota, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was employed to evaluate 17 short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids quantitatively.

Results

The microbiota distribution in salivary was different between the high-fat diet (HFD) and normal chow diet (NCD) groups. At the genus level of salivary microbiota, Streptococcus and Escherichia were highly abundant in the HFD group. Rodentibacter and Turicibacter were more abundant in the NCD group. Regarding the gut microbiome, the diversity changes of gut microbiota are more significant than those of salivary microbiota. The HFD group had a significantly higher abundance of Kineothrix, Cryptobacteroides, and a lower abundance of CAG-485. Nine genera had consistent alterations in salivary and gut microbiota, among which Akkermansia, Lactobacillus, and Intestinimonas were significantly correlated with physiological indicators, and Muribaculum was significantly correlated with increased decanoic acid levels in the HFD group. The dysregulated nine genera were associated with significant upregulation of certain metabolic pathways of the HFD group, including the pentose phosphate, bacterial invasion of epithelial cells, and steroid biosynthesis pathways.

Conclusions

There are differences and similarities in the effects of HFD on salivary and gut microbiota. Certain genera of the oral-gut axis altered consistently by HFD may affect obesity through mechanisms involving metabolic pathways and inflammation.
Diagnostic accuracy of artificial intelligence models in detecting congenital heart disease in the second-trimester fetus through prenatal cardiac screening: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Liastuti Lies Dina , Nursakina Yosilia
Published: February 2025

Background

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a major contributor to morbidity and infant mortality and imposes the highest burden on global healthcare costs. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of CHD contribute to enhanced neonatal outcomes and survival rates; however, there is a shortage of proficient examiners in remote regions. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered ultrasound provides a potential solution to improve the diagnostic accuracy of fetal CHD screening.

Methods

A literature search was conducted across seven databases for systematic review. Articles were retrieved based on PRISMA Flow 2020 and inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible diagnostic data were further meta-analyzed, and the risk of bias was tested using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies—Artificial Intelligence.

Findings

A total of 374 studies were screened for eligibility, but only 9 studies were included. Most studies utilized deep learning models using either ultrasound or echocardiographic images. Overall, the AI models performed exceptionally well in accurately identifying normal and abnormal ultrasound images. A meta-analysis of these nine studies on CHD diagnosis resulted in a pooled sensitivity of 0.89 (0.81–0.94), a specificity of 0.91 (0.87–0.94), and an area under the curve of 0.952 using a random-effects model.

Conclusion

Although several limitations must be addressed before AI models can be implemented in clinical practice, AI has shown promising results in CHD diagnosis. Nevertheless, prospective studies with bigger datasets and more inclusive populations are needed to compare AI algorithms to conventional methods.
