Americanización e inglesización como procesos de ocupación global
Authors: Phillipson Robert , Zapata Chinger
Published: February 2025

Las políticas imperialistas de los Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña han apuntado directamente a la ocupación física y mental a nivel mundial. A través del análisis crítico de la desigualdad global resultante se puede develar como se ha legitimado esta ocupación. El mito de la terra nullius, explicado por Locke, sirvió para legitimar el dominio colonial europeo denunciado por Kant. La americanización ha sido exportada como una cultura nullius que ha servido para consolidar el consumismo y el subyacente sistema económico y militar. El neoliberalismo aumenta la inequidad, que es un factor causal en las sociedades capitalistas disfuncionales. La integración política y económica de Europa ha sido coordinada y orquestada muy de cerca por los Estados Unidos. La presencia del inglés ha crecido desmesuradamente por toda Europa. Su impulso activo a nivel mundial asume gran significación económica y política para el Reino Unido y los Estados Unidos. Los defensores del inglés a nivel mundial, incluyendo la actual tendencia en la lingüística aplicada a estudiar el inglés como una “lingua franca”, ven al inglés como una lingua nullius desligada de las fuerzas detrás de su expansión. La integración de la educación superior europea está siendo coaccionada hacia una idea general, la “internacionalización” que se equipara con “estudios por medio del inglés”. Sin embargo, algunos países europeos están desarrollando políticas comunicacionales para restringir el uso del inglés sólo en un plano secundario. La academia crítica en pos de la justicia social señala cómo la ocupación, mental y física, ha sido legitimada y cómo puede ser contrarrestada.
La historia en construcción/La construcción de la historia. La “Wehrmacht alemana” en los recuerdos colectivos e individuales de Austria
Authors: Wodak Ruth , Palacios Euclides
Published: February 2025

En el presente artículo se consideran narrativas sobre pasados traumáticos por medio de ejemplos constituidos por entrevistas realizadas a visitantes de las dos exposiciones, que tuvieron lugar en Alemania y Austria en 1995 y 2002, sobre los crímenes de guerra de la Wehrmacht alemana. Se presentan numerosas estrategias de justificación y legitimación tanto en discursos públicos como privados. En el estudio se sostiene que los géneros oficiales, como libros escolares o documentales de televisión aún difunden narrativas que exculpan a la Wehrmacht como institución, aunque sea contundente la evidencia proporcionada por historiadores y por las exposiciones. Los topoi utilizados (como “cumplir con el deber;” “todas las guerras son iguales,” entre otros) también se han de encontrar en debates similares en otros países. Por consiguiente, este caso de estudio ilustra patrones de argumentación que ocurren de forma mucho más general que únicamente en los contextos nacionales que se estudian detalladamente en la presente investigación.
(Re)presentando el pasado reciente: la última dictadura uruguaya en los manuales de historia
Authors: Achugar Mariana , Fernández Amparo , Morales Nicolás
Published: February 2025

El discurso pedagógico de la historia en manuales revela lo que una sociedad considera que vale la pena enseñar y por qué. El presente trabajo exploró cómo se representa la última dictadura uruguaya y qué orientación se inscribe hacia este período y sus actores en manuales usados actualmente en enseñanza secundaria. También se investigó el uso de estos textos en el aula de historia para ver cómo se abren o cierran lecturas posibles de éstos. El análisis textual se realizó desde una perspectiva crítica utilizando herramientas de la Lingüística Sistémica Funcional como la transitividad, la evaluación y el metadiscurso (Halliday, 1994; Martin & White, 2005). Luego este análisis se contextualizó con datos provenientes de una encuesta a profesores y observaciones etnográficas del uso de manuales en el aula de historia. Los resultados muestran que existe un discurso dominante sobre el pasado reciente en los manuales que explica el golpe de Estado como resultado de un deterioro gradual de las instituciones democráticas como respuesta a la crisis económica y social. Se utilizan construcciones impersonales, pasivas y medias para evitar asignar directamente responsabilidades. El posicionamiento actitudinal y dialógico es típico de la historia y tiene el potencial de generar múltiples lecturas.
La construcción del sujeto y auto-representación en los discursos de Muaamar Al Gaddafi: Hacia la auto-deslegitimación
Authors: Srhir Adil Moustaoui
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo analiza el discurso de Muaamar Al Gaddafi, como discurso político del poder. En concreto, analizaremos tres discursos que fueron pronunciados a raíz del comienzo de las revueltas populares en Libia en el pasado mes de febrero y que desembocaron en una guerra civil. El objetivo principal de este artículo es poder contribuir en la teoría de la legitimación, analizando cómo un proceso discursivo de la legitimación del poder político y deslegitimación del otro en los discursos del Al Gaddafi, podría crear un efecto contrario en la medida en que derivaría hacia lo que llamaremos la auto-deslegitimación. El marco teórico en el cual se enmarca el análisis, tanto del proceso de legitimación como de deslegitimación y auto-deslegitimación en los discursos de Al Gaddafi, es : i) la definición del discurso y la noción de estrategias discursiva en el enfoque histórico discursivo Wodak (1999, 2001, 2003 y 2005), ii) la noción de contexto de Van Dijk, principalmente la que hace referencia al contexto global y local (Van Dijk 1999, 2003), y iii) la noción de legitimación discursiva (Van Dijk y Martin Rojo 1997, Van Dijk 2003 y Chilton 2009).
¿Una sinergia metodológica útil? Combinar análisis crítico del discurso y lingüística de corpus para examinar los discursos de los refugiados y solicitantes de asilo en la prensa británica

Questões de gênero em traduções da Bíblia para português e inglês: uma abordagem comparativa
Authors: Bezerra Benedito Gomes
Published: February 2025

Pesquisas sobre a leitura no Brasil evidenciam a centralidade da literatura religiosa, especialmente a Bíblia, na preferência dos leitores, o que ressalta a importância dessa literatura para a sustentação ou, eventualmente, para a mudança das ideologias defendidas pelos grupos sociais relacionados. A teologia feminista tem apontado a Bíblia como um livro responsável por contribuir para a desigualdade entre os gêneros, parcialmente através do processo de tradução das línguas originais para as línguas contemporâneas. Em vista disso, o trabalho propõe uma abordagem comparativa, teoricamente baseada na Análise Crítica do Discurso, sobre a forma como se representa o gênero em traduções da Bíblia para as línguas portuguesa e inglesa. Para a condução da pesquisa, foram analisadas, do ponto de vista da maior ou menor sensibilidade à questão do gênero, 20 bíblias, publicadas entre 1950 e 2010, metade delas em inglês, metade em português. O estudo incluiu passagens bíblicas em que a desigualdade de gênero se expressa claramente, sendo essas passagens comparadas nas diversas traduções em português e em inglês, à luz do texto original. Os resultados indicam uma tendência para a linguagem inclusiva do ponto de vista do gênero nas versões mais contemporâneas, tanto na língua inglesa como na língua portuguesa.
Los marcos del conflicto: Aproximación al conflicto armado colombiano desde el concepto de marco
Authors: Olave Arias Giohanny
Published: February 2025

Se propone una aproximación al conflicto armado colombiano reciente desde la perspectiva del análisis del discurso, a través del estudio de dos comunicados emitidos por el Presidente de la República, Juan Manuel Santos, y por el Frente Occidental de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP), al respecto de los hechos violentos acaecidos en julio de 2011 en Toribío, una población ubicada al suroccidente del país. El análisis apela al concepto de “marco de interpretación” y a sus desarrollos teóricos más destacados. En los resultados se reconstruyen los enmarcados de los actores, sus dimensiones y estrategias, y se contrastan sus definiciones de la misma situación, poniendo de relieve la búsqueda de legitimación de las acciones bélicas, la estabilización de las interpretaciones del conflicto y su simplificación sobre la lógica de medios afines. Se concluye, además, que el análisis de marcos puede contribuir al acercamiento teórico y aplicado entre las ciencias cognitivas y las sociales, a través del puente del discurso.
En sus propias palabras: la construcción de la imagen del inmigrante en la prensa española
Authors: Alonso Belmonte Isabel , McCabe Anne , Chornet Roses Daniel
Published: February 2025

Este estudio examina la representación discursiva de los inmigrantes en la prensa española a través del análisis de la reproducción periodística de sus declaraciones en dos periódicos de distribución nacional y otros dos gratuitos. La muestra de artículos estudiados se compiló en el marco de un proyecto de investigación piloto financiado por la Unión Europea (FRA2-2007-3200-02-NP-02, 2008), cuyo principal objetivo era el desarrollo de una metodología efectiva para el análisis comparativo de la prensa escrita de seis estados miembros. En el marco metodológico del Análisis Crítico del Discurso y a partir de la aplicación de la Teoría de la Valoración (Martin & White 2005), analizamos el uso que hacen los periodistas de las citas directas e indirectas de inmigrantes, de los correspondientes verba dicendi, y las actitudes y emociones que estos denotan. Los resultados obtenidos muestran algunas diferencias significativas entre los periódicos de tirada nacional y los gratuitos de difusión local: mientras que en los primeros, las declaraciones de los inmigrantes representan las voces del sufrimiento humano, los segundos muestra la imagen de un inmigrante seguro y bien adaptado en su entorno.
Memorias compartidas, conversación de familia e interacción
Authors: Bietti Lucas Manuel , Vallejo Morales Amanda
Published: February 2025

Las memorias compartidas juegan un papel central en las comunicaciones cotidianas. Usualmente están basadas en el conocimiento cultural e interpersonal de un pasado compartido dentro de un grupo de personas. Estas memorias se transmiten verbalmente en conversaciones cotidianas. Las memorias compartidas también se usan para crear un sentimiento de conexión y para mantener un sentimiento de identidad consistente dentro de los miembros del grupo. En las conversaciones de familia, las memorias compartidas funcionan para estructurar y sincronizar la historia de vida de la familia susceptible de ser compartida dentro del grupo. Los miembros de la familia están estratégicamente involucrados en procesos de recordación y olvido los cuales están modelados de acuerdo con las metas específicas de cada interacción especificar. En estos casos, los miembros de la familia construyen un sistema sociocognitivo formado por el entorno físico y social en el cual están localizados. Este sistema opera al conectar el conocimiento autobiográfico, el cual es distribuido dentro de los miembros de la familia, pero forma parte de experiencias del pasado. Al interrelacionar memorias episódicas distribuidas, este sistema sociocognitivo dota a los miembros de la familia de la habilidad para manejar el conocimiento autobiográfico compartido. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar de qué manera el pasado compartido se maneja, se comunica y se negocia en la conversación familiar cotidiana mediante las estrategias epistémicas discursivas. La conversación que analizaremos se trató acerca de cinco fechas ligadas con la historia política de Argentina.
Unexpected Discovery at Resection Site: Plasmablastic Lymphoma After Polypectomy
Authors: Njeim Ryan , Abureesh Mohammad , Singh Yashna , El Douaihy Youssef
Published: February 2025

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare, aggressive subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has usually been associated with human immunodeficiency virus and Ebstein–Barr virus infections. Commonly seen in the oral cavity, it can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. This report describes a unique case of PBL that appeared in an 81-year-old immunocompetent patient. During an initial colonoscopy, a 2-cm polyp in the distal transverse colon was removed via full-thickness resection with pathology showing tubular adenoma with foci of high-grade dysplasia. After 7 months, a repeat colonoscopy found a 3-cm sessile polyp at the site of resection, which, after removal, was found to be a PBL. This is the first case described in the literature regarding the growth of PBL after full-thickness resection of a tubular adenoma in such a short interval.

CLASSIFICATION OF MONOLITHIC STRUCTURES BY THE DEGREE OF MASSIVENESS
Authors:   South Ural State University, Chelyabinsk, Russia, Pikus G.A.
Published: February 2025

The paper analyzes statutory, technical, and scientific literature on the applicable classifications of monolithic structures by the degree of massiveness. It reveals that the most applicable classifications are based on such massive-ness characteristic as the surface modulus. At the same time, all the considered classifications do not coincide with each other in the ranges of surface modulus values. Some sources argue that classification should take into account several other parameters in addition to the surface modulus. Moreover, no literature sources define the term “massiveness”. The paper proves that the massiveness parameter is of natural origin and changes harmoniously in natural conditions with changing climatic conditions. It shows that the harmony of nature is closely related to the harmony of the golden section using the golden section concept in classifying structures by the degree of massiveness. The research findings show that cube-type structures have three degrees of massiveness (massive, medium-massive, and non-massive), while column (beams) or slab (walls) type structures have only two degrees of massiveness (medium-massive, non-massive). Each degree of massiveness of a particular structure type has its own range of changes in the surface modulus.
Some inequalities for rational function with prescribed poles and restricted zeros
Authors: Soraisam Robinson , Devi Khangembam Babina , Chanam Barchand
Published: February 2025

In this article, we first prove some auxiliary results in the form of lemmas using an improved Schwarz lemma at the boundary recently proved by Mercer. Furthermore, we establish some new inequalities for rational functions on the unit disk in the complex plane with prescribed poles and restricted zeros. It is of interest to know that in the bounds of theorems we prove, four extremal coefficients of the numerator polynomial are incorporated rather than usually two coefficients in the existing literature. Moreover, our results strengthen some recent results concerning the inequalities for rational functions and, in turn, produce refinements of some polynomial inequalities as particular cases.
Electability and Party Power Across Party Lines
Authors: Masket Seth
Published: February 2025

This article describes efforts to understand how partisan actors respond to electoral losses differently across party lines, leading to different decisions for future nomination contests. I further focus on the events of the spring and summer of 2024, in which both parties were offered compelling reasons to reject their expected presidential nominee (a criminal conviction and a poor debate performance) but only the Democrats followed that path, while Republicans reaffirmed their support for a damaged candidate. These events demonstrate the relative power the two party organizations have but also their overall orientations toward elections and electability.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF MOSQUES IN TURKISH AND IRANIAN ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Khaleghımoghaddam Navid
Published: February 2025

As old civilizations, Turkey and Iran are rich in architectural heritage. Islamic period has played a crucial role in emergencing a distinct type of Islamic architecture of them. Moreover, the similarities of the historical periods fostered cross-cultural relations and artistic interactions that produced, in particular, the architectural characteristics of each period, a phenomenon that is even more important when comparing the Seljuk period in Turkey and Iran. The reason for this lies in the richness of architecture of the Seljuk period that both countries have in common. In this regard, the mosque has played a significant role as a socio-political center in both countries. Therefore, the present study aims to better understand the mosque structure in the two countries and to convey the religious values and social functions of cross-cultural architectural design as a guideline for the design of contemporary mosques. The results reveal three patterns for mosques in both countries, highlighting similarities and differences between them. Turkish mosques were influenced by Byzantine and Iranian architecture, while Iranian mosques were inspired by the the ancient Sasanian architecture and pre-Islamic religious structures in Iran.
The Dynamics of Narcissus: Exploring the Covariation of Narcissistic States in Daily Life
Authors: Dowgwillo Emily A. , Fanti Erika , Pincus Aaron L.
Published: February 2025

Advanced empirical research and clinical theory suggest that narcissistic personality states fluctuate over time. However, these fluctuations are poorly understood. To address this, we recruited 88 undergraduates to complete baseline measures and respond to smartphone prompts assessing narcissistic states and emotions in daily life seven times a day for 10 days. Narcissistic states were assessed using a state-adapted version of the Super Brief Pathological Narcissism Inventory (SB-PNI). Findings showed that within-person covariation of narcissistic states ranged from -.55 to .52 and was negatively associated with trait grandiosity, guilt, and mood activation. In addition, there was a significant quadratic relationship between narcissistic covariation and trait vulnerability and between narcissistic covariation and mean state vulnerability, self-esteem, pleasant and activated mood, and shame across 10 days. These findings suggest a potential state-based dynamic taxonomy of narcissistic presentations and highlight the importance of understanding distinctions between co-occurring, contrasting, and dissociated narcissistic states.
Coumarin derivatives as inhibitors against monoamine oxidase: structure-activity relationships and inhibitory mechanisms
Authors: Sun Jie , Xu Leizhi , Pan Qiusha , Wang Pu , Zhang Qingguang , Wang Ping , Xia Yangliu
Published: February 2025

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is a useful target in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and depressive disorders. Understanding the structure-activity relationship (SAR) and mechanisms underlying MAO inhibitors is crucial but challenging. The coumarin scaffold has been shown to be ideal for MAO inhibitors, yet the SAR for MAO inhibition and selectivity based on coumarin remains unclear. In this study a fluorescence-based high throughput screening method was developed using a MAO fluorescent substrate (MR2). Subsequently, three series of coumarin derivatives, including esculetin, daphnetin and 3-substituted coumarin, were synthesized and the inhibitory effects on MAO were assayed. The SAR study revealed that phenyl substitution had a unique effect on MAO inhibitory activity and selectivity. Specifically, 3-phenyl substitution in coumarin derivatives significantly enhanced MAO-B inhibition and increased selectivity for MAO-A, while 4-phenyl substitution is more effective for MAO-A inhibition. Discovery studios were also utilized to investigate the structural requirements for the effective inhibition of MAO by coumarins. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying inhibition for five phenyl coumarin derivatives were elucidated through enzymatic kinetics analysis and molecular docking simulations. These findings provide new insights into the interactions between coumarins and MAOs and significantly contribute to the development of coumarin-based MAO inhibitors.

Nitel yöntem ve ölçüt örnekleme modeli ile yürütülen araştırmada 30 öğretim üyesi ile görüşülmüştür. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile yürütülen çalışmada görüşmeler ses kayıt cihazı ile kayıt altına alınmıştır. Toplanan veriler içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları öğretim üyelerinin, öncelikle terör örgütlerinin öğrencileri refah, saygınlık kazandırma ve özgürlük/bağımsızlık gibi argümanları kullanarak etkilediklerini düşündüklerini ortaya koymuştur. Bu durumun önüne geçmek için öğretim üyeleri, özellikle derslerde aklın/çok boyutlu ve eleştirel düşünmenin öne çıkarılması, terör örgütlerinin tanıtılması, çatışmayı önleyici bir dil kullanılması, diğerlerine saygı duymanın öneminin vurgulanması gerektiğini belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca, öğretim üyelerine göre, öğrencilerin terör örgütlerine katılma sebepleri, kendilerini farklı platformlarda ifade edememeleri, farklılıklara tahammülsüzlük, toplumsal sebepler/ayrışmalar, amaçsızlık vb. olabilmektedir. Bu durumun önüne geçmek için de eğitimin koruyucu/önleyici rolü ön plana çıkmaktadır.

A series of technical considerations are presented for the methodological processes of conventional and satellite topographic surveys applied in the capture of geospatial data, which are increasingly faster and more efficient, involving high levels of production with large volumes of points initially defined in a three-dimensional way. However, its correct link to a specific period of the National Geodetic Reference Framework of Costa Rica CR-SIRGAS requires a particular treatment, to comply with the current guidelines and regulations of the national authorities when the purpose is the cadastral registration. On the other hand, there are also surveys whose objectives do not require a cadastral component, but which must also be supported by clear technical processes both in the information capture and processing stages.

Chronic ethanol consumption is associated with a range of harmful effects on different systems of the body, including the heart. Coordination complexes of bioactive compounds based on non-toxic metals are attracting interest in biomedical research due to their potential therapeutic properties. The study aimed to evaluate­ the influence of the germanium-nicotinic acid complex (MIGU-1) on apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress indicators in the myocardium of rats under chronic alcohol exposure. Female Wistar rats were divided into three groups of 6 animals each: intact animals; rats that received 20% ethanol as the sole source of liquid for 110 days; animals with chronic consumption of 20% ethanol, which from the 90th day until the end of the experiment were intraperitoneally administered MIGU-1 solution (10 mg/kg/day). Biomarkers related to apoptosis, ER stress autophagy were assessed by Western blot analysis. It was shown that chronic ethanol consumption significantly activated apoptotic pathways in rat myocardium tissue, evidenced by increased levels of cleaved caspase-3 and BAX proteins alongside Beclin-1 level elevation, indicating enhanced autophagy. A significant decrease in the content of the protein IRE1 and its phosphorylated form in myocardial with no changes in GRP78 protein level was detected. Treatment with MIGU-1 resulted in both ethanol-induced apoptosis reduction and ER stress attenuation in cardiomyocytes with the level of Beclin-1 and GRP78 proteins remaining unchanged. Our findings demonstrate that the MIGU-1 complex promotes cardiomyocyte survival by balancing apoptosis and unfolded protein response, thus preventing alcohol-related­ cardiac injury.

Зміни етномовного складу населення України: друга половина ХХ — початок ХХІ ст.
Authors: Скляр Володимир Миколайович
Published: February 2025

У статті проаналізовано етномовні процеси в Україні другої половини ХХ — початку ХХІ ст. Зміни етномовного складу населення України за радянських часів не були природними, а стали результатом політики російщення України. В умовах бездержавності українці перебували у стані «підпорядкованої більшості», яка зазнавала асиміляції з боку домінантної російської етнічної меншини, загальна чисельність населення України зростала за рахунок не українськомовного, а російськомовного населення. Лише зі здобуттям Україною незалежності відновилися природні етномовні процеси. Інерційний вплив етномовних процесів радянської доби продовжував зберігатися в урбаністичному середовищі східних та південних областей, особливо в Криму, Донецькій та Луганській областях. З початком російської агресії українці знову опинилися в умовах етнодемографічної катастрофи.

Cross-Border E-Crimes: Jurisdiction and Due Process Challenges
Authors: AllahRakha Naeem
Published: February 2025

Cross-border e-crimes pose significant challenges due to the borderless nature of cyberspace and the complexities of international legal cooperation. This research examines the existing international legal frameworks, such as the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, and their effectiveness in harmonizing laws and facilitating cross-border investigations. The study applies the doctrinal research methodology to analyze the regulations on cybercrimes. It analyzes the role of international standards of due process and prosecution in upholding individual rights and ensuring fair trials in cross-border cases. The legal frameworks for collecting and sharing digital evidence across borders are fragmented, creating significant challenges for international cooperation. Emerging technologies further complicate the governance of cybercrime. Law enforcement agencies face legal and privacy issues when accessing cross-border data stored in the cloud. The execution of mutual legal assistance requests in cybercrime cases remains slow and inefficient. Gaps in international frameworks hinder lawful access to electronic evidence, while cross-border cybercrime investigations experience delays due to language barriers, incompatible laws, and limited technical expertise within national agencies. These challenges underscore the need for a unified approach to tackle cross-border e-crimes effectively.

Abstract: This study has a comprehensive objective of understanding the practical implications of environmental protection within the framework of Islamic law, taking into account the balance of human needs and ecological preservation. The method used is library research with literature analysis through synthesis and integration of information from various relevant sources, such as books, scientific articles, and other documents related to the research topic. The findings of the study show that environmental protection in the framework of Islamic law not only provides a solid moral and ethical foundation but also challenges the conventional paradigm in natural resource management by offering a holistic approach that integrates spiritual, social, and ecological values. Through maqasid al-sharia, environmental protection becomes an integral part of the objectives of sharia, namely preserving life (hifz al-nafs) and ecological sustainability (hifz al-biÄh) by providing ethical guidance to prevent overexploitation while encouraging sustainable innovation. Thus, Islamic law not only responds to the challenges of the global environmental crisis but also offers a model of sustainability that brings together spiritual, ethical, and practical values in creating harmony between human needs and the preservation of nature, making it relevant as a strategic solution for the modern world.
Comparison of Machine Learning and Statistical Approaches of Detecting Anomalies Using a Simulation Study
Authors: Lenart Klaudia
Published: February 2025

Aim: An anomaly is an observation or a group of observations that is unusual for a given dataset. Anomaly detection has many applications, not only as a step of data preparation but also, for example, as a way of identifying credit card fraud detection, network intrusions and much more. There are diverse methods of anomaly detection. In particular two groups of methods have been developed independently – statistical methods and machine learning algorithms. Those methods are rarely compared. While statistical methods focus on formulating a measure of the abnormality of the observations, supervised machine learning makes it possible to use data about typical observations and previously identified anomalies. The aim of this paper was to compare the two approaches by conducting a simulation study. Methodology: A simulation study was conducted, during which the data was generated using copula functions. For the purpose of generating different types of anomalies, marginal distributions of the variables were manipulated. The effectiveness of each method was evaluated based on measures of classification model performance. Results: While the accuracy of the statistical methods was dependent on the precise prediction of the percentage of the anomalies that would occur in the data, the machine learning algorithms’ recall was significantly lower when the change in the marginal distribution of the value parameters was smaller. Implications and recommendations: For the statistical methods included in the study, knowledge about the distribution of the variables was crucial while the supervised machine learning algorithms required acquiring a training dataset. Unlike machine learning algorithms, the statistical methods performed with similar accuracy even when the change in the marginal distribution parameters’ value was smaller Originality/value: The two approaches to anomaly detection presented in the paper are not often compared, usually used by two separate groups of researchers – statisticians and machine learning or data science specialists.

Efficient networking is fundamental to the performance, scalability, and security of cloud environments,
particularly in OpenStack, where Neutron serves as the networking backbone. This study evaluates Neutron’s default
configuration alongside advanced optimization strategies, including VLAN tagging, Calico integration, and BGP routing.
Through comprehensive benchmarking, performance metrics such as throughput, latency, fault tolerance, and scalability
were analyzed under various workload intensities. The findings demonstrate that advanced configurations like Calico and
BGP significantly enhance performance and fault tolerance, with Calico excelling in containerized workloads and BGP
offering robust scalability for large, geographically distributed deployments. VLAN tagging remains a practical choice
for small-to-medium-sized multi-tenant clouds, while the default Neutron setup is suitable for simpler environments.
Real-time monitoring and predictive analytics using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and BP neural networks were also
highlighted as essential for proactive resource management. The study emphasizes the importance of selecting
configurations tailored to specific use cases, balancing performance with complexity and scalability. Future directions
include integrating artificial intelligence-driven optimization strategies and expanding benchmarking frameworks to
address evolving cloud requirements. This research provides actionable insights for cloud administrators aiming to
optimize OpenStack networks, ensuring robust and efficient operations in diverse deployment scenarios
Omnichannel CX in Insurance: Unifying Mobile, CRM, and In-Person Touchpoints
Authors:   Insurance Product Management Researcher, Nain Julker
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the evolution and implementation of omnichannel CX. It discusses how mobile apps,
CRM systems, and in-person touchpoints integrated together gives a better customer satisfaction, retention and operation
efficiency. The study seeks to realize a smooth and customized lifecycle of each customer from voice call to chatbot to
chat to physical store to eCommerce and all points in between using AI, data analytics, cloud computing, and other
leading edge technologies. Secondly, it further highlights the difficulties of integrating such technologies, which includes
data synchronization, legacy systems, and being up to comply with regulations. The process, technologies used in that
process, and the benefits (such as customer loyalty, and reduction in churn) from companies who have started an
omnichannel transformation are presented through case studies of insurance companies. The paper identifies gaps
(quantifiable and less so) in current research as to how omnichannel strategies are being adapted across heterogeneous
markets and different regulatory environments, but underscore the benefits: operational efficiencies, among other things.
Omnichannel CX in insurance has tremendous future implications as these will drive higher and greater potential for
innovation through AI and digital technologies. However, the success of such implementation depends on what is often
called change management including consideration of different practices, security, and privacy regulations. As a
contribution to the construct of how omnichannel strategies can drive digital transformation in insurance, this research
discusses the importance of further study related to cross market adaptations and continual improvement of CX metrics.
Comparison of Virtualization Models in OpenStack
Authors:   Charles Schwab, Austin, TX, USA, Patchamatla Pavan Srikanth
Published: February 2025

Virtualization plays a crucial role in cloud computing, enabling efficient resource utilization and
scalability. OpenStack, a leading open-source cloud platform, supports three primary virtualization models: hypervisorbased, container-based, and bare-metal. This research provides a comprehensive comparison of these models in terms of
performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. Benchmarks such as LINPACK, Bonnie++, and IPerf were utilized to
evaluate CPU, disk I/O, and network performance across various deployment scenarios. The findings reveal that baremetal virtualization consistently outperforms the other models in CPU and disk I/O performance, making it ideal for
high-performance computing (HPC) and data-intensive workloads. Container-based virtualization emerged as the most
cost-efficient and scalable solution, excelling in cloud-native and microservices architectures due to its lightweight design
and rapid instance provisioning. Hypervisor-based virtualization, while offering strong isolation and security,
demonstrated higher overhead and slower performance compared to the other models, making it suitable for generalpurpose applications and multi-tenant environments. Scalability assessments highlighted that container-based setups
scaled effectively with minimal resource overhead, whereas hypervisor-based configurations faced limitations due to
increased provisioning times. Bare-metal setups, constrained by physical hardware, were less adaptable to dynamic
workloads. Cost analysis further emphasized the trade-offs between flexibility, resource efficiency, and operational costs
for each model. This study concludes that the choice of virtualization model should align with workload requirements
and organizational goals. It also underscores the potential of hybrid solutions and emerging technologies to address
current limitations.
