Authors: Mercan Gamze , Varol Selçuk Zümrüt
Published: July 2024

Environmental justice is a critical and evolving concept that addresses the inequities in environmental exposures and their impacts on marginalized communities. This review examines the intersection of environmental justice and education, emphasizing the role of educational institutions in mitigating environmental injustices. By analyzing current literature and case studies, this study highlights how pollutants disproportionately affect children in socioeconomically disadvantaged and racially marginalized communities. Schools and educational policies can play a pivotal role in addressing these disparities by fostering community engagement, promoting awareness, and advocating for policy changes. This review also explores the concept of environmental racism and its implications for health and educational outcomes among students. It underscores the importance of a socioecological approach, involving collective action from individuals, schools, and communities to achieve sustainable and equitable environmental conditions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the critical role education plays in promoting environmental justice and offers actionable recommendations for stakeholders committed to creating healthier and more inclusive environments for future generations.

Authors: Omar Sleman Yousif , Kacar Emine , Mustafa Diyari , Omer Rebaz
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Gastroenteritis with emesis is routinely treated with metoclopramide. An anticholinergic substance called hyoscine-N-butyl bromide (buscopan) prevents acetylcholine from acting on muscarinic receptors. This study aimed to ascertain how metoclopramide affected the duodenum motility caused by acetylcholine. Another objective is to examine the impact of metoclopramide alone and in combination with hyoscine-n-butyl bromide on duodenal motility. In this examination, the duodenum was separated by 1 cm, and 2 cm long strips of tissue were produced and fastened with both sides of surgical silk at both ends of the isolated organ bath. Tissue was then suspended from the device and isometric contractions were recorded. Acetylcholine was introduced to the duodenum (10-4 M). Metoclopramide (35 M), hyoscine-N-butyl bromide (15 M), and metoclopramide and hyoscine-N-butyl bromide (50 M) were added and incubated after 10 minutes. The duodenum displayed frequency, peak-to-peak, and amplitude responses to metoclopramide (35 M), hyoscine-N-butyl bromide (15 M), and metoclopramide and hyoscine-N-butyl (50 M) in this result. Based on quantum chemical calculations several chemical properties were studied and to determine the active center the Fukui function was considered.
Evaluation of CharacterStrong’s Secondary Social-Emotional and Character Education Curriculum: Effects on Student-Reported and Teacher-Reported Outcomes
Authors: Merle James , Larson Madeline F. , Cook Clayton
Published: July 2024

Social-emotional learning (SEL) and character education are important components of adolescent development. In this study, we evaluated a randomized controlled trial of CharacterStrong, a curriculum that combines SEL and character education that included 1609 students and 242 teachers across 14 schools. This study applied baseline target moderation analysis to examine the differential effect of CharacterStrong given students’ baseline (pre-test) scores on self-reported measures of social-emotional competence and personal attributes (i.e., Self-efficacy, Grit, Learning strategies, Growth mindset, Self-management, and Social-awareness). Results indicated that students with the most room to improve at baseline (pre-test) who received CharacterStrong improved significantly more than those who also had the most room to improve in the control group for three out of the six measured outcomes: Self-efficacy, Learning strategies, and Self-management. Teachers who received training for CharacterStrong reported improvements in their own Self-efficacy and students’ SEL competencies compared to teachers in the control condition. This study provides evidence supporting the effects of CharacterStrong as well as adds to the school-based prevention research on performing moderation analyses of baseline status to reveal the sub-group of youth who respond most favorably to universal prevention programs.
Universal Multilayer Network Embedding Reveals a Causal Link Between GABA Neurotransmitter and Cancer
Authors: Pio-Lopez Léo , Levin Michael
Published: July 2024

The volume and complexity of biological data have significantly increased in recent years, often represented as network models continue to increase at a rapid pace. However, drug discovery in the context of complex phenotypes are hampered by the difficulties inherent in producing machine learning algorithms that can integrate molecular-genetic, biochemical, physiological, and other diverse datasets. Recent developments have expanded network analysis techniques, such as network embedding, to effectively explore multilayer network structures. Multilayer networks, which incorporate various nodes and connections in formats such as multiplex, heterogeneous, and bipartite networks, provide an effective framework for merging diverse and multi-scale biological data sources. However, current network embedding methods face challenges and limitations in addressing the heterogeneity and diversity of these networks. Therefore, there is an essential need for the development of new network embedding methods to manage the complexity and diversity of multi-omics biological information effectively. Here, we report a universal multilayer network embedding method MultiXVERSE, which is to the best of our knowledge the first one capable of handling any kind of multilayer network. We applied it to a molecular-drug-disease multiplex-heterogeneous network. Our model made new predictions about a link between GABA and cancer that we verified experimentally in the Xenopus laevis model.
JESUS IS GOD: A COMPARATIVE SCRIPTURAL SURVEY OF JESUS' TRUE IDENTITY (THE BIBLE AND THE QUR’AN)
Authors: Ilesanmi Dele Alaba
Published: July 2024

The question, “Who is Jesus?” forms the epicentre of theological discussion, which has culminated in Christological debate in the past and recent times. Right from the New Testament days to the present day, this question generates a lot of conflicting views. The Pharisees and the Sadducees were confused about the personality or real identity of Jesus Christ. Even the church and the people outside it, the heathens, differed in their understandings. In the quest for this enigmatic personality, the paper seeks to revisit the historical Jesus by encapsulating the biblical and qur’anic teachings on His true identity by examining His Virginal Conception, Virginal Birth, and His Names and titles applied to Him in both the Bible and Qur’an to remove doubt and establish the truth. The methodology adopted in this work is solus primus scriptura research (SPSR) (bibliosearch, scriptural or biblical-based research) and expository research model, and extra-biblio sources, such as Quran, Christian books, journals, and websites relevant to the study, as its secondary sources. Though the study concludes that both the Bible and the Quran attest to the divinity (deity) of Jesus, the nuance is that the Bible is explicit while the Quran is implicit about this. In this paper, the implicitness of Qur’an is theologically unveiled and the explicitness of the Bible is theologically embellished and expounded for graphic understanding to establish the truth that Jesus is God.
Uranium-series isotopes as tracers of physical and chemical weathering in glacial sediments from Taylor Valley, Antarctica
Authors: Edwards Graham , Piccione Gavin , Blackburn Terrence , Tulaczyk Slawek
Published: July 2024

The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica formed by extensive glacial erosion, yet currently exhibit hyperarid polar conditions characterized by limited chemical and physical weathering. Efficient chemical weathering occurs when moisture is available, and polythermal subglacial conditions may accommodate ongoing mechanical weathering and valley incision. Taylor Valley hosts several Pleistocene glacial drift deposits that record prior expansions of Taylor Glacier and sediment redistribution, if not production. We present U-series isotopics of fine-grained sediments from these drifts to assess the timescales of physical weathering and subsequent chemical alteration. The isotopes U-238, U-234, and Th-230 are sensitive to both chemical and physical fractionation processes in sedimentary systems, including the physical fractionation of daughter isotopes by energetic recoil following radioactive decay. By comparing U-series isotopic measurements with models of U-series response to chemical weathering and physical fractionation processes, we show that Pleistocene drift sediments record histories of significant chemical alteration. However, fine-grained sediments entrained in the basal ice of Taylor Glacier record only minor chemical alteration and U-series fractionation, indicating comparatively recent sediment comminution and active incision of upper Taylor Valley by Taylor Glacier over the Pleistocene. In addition, the results of this study emphasize the utility of U-series isotopes as tracers of chemical and physical weathering in sedimentary and pedogenic systems, with particular sensitivity to radionuclide implantation by α-recoil from high-U authigenic phases into lower-U detrital phases. This process has occurred extensively in >200 ka drifts but to a lesser degree in younger deposits. U-series α-recoil implantation may be an important physicochemical process with chronometric implications in other hyperarid and saline sedimentary systems, including analogous Martian environments.
Experience-driven suppression of irrelevant distractor locations is context dependent
Authors: Allon Ayala , Leber Andrew B.
Published: July 2024

Humans can learn to attentionally suppress salient, irrelevant information when it consistently appears at a predictable location. While this ability confers behavioral benefits by reducing distraction, the full scope of its utility is unknown. As people locomote and/or shift between task contexts, known-to-be-irrelevant locations may change from moment to moment. Here we assessed a context-dependent account of learned suppression: can individuals flexibly update the locations they suppress, from trial to trial, as a function of task context? Participants searched for a shape target in displays that sometimes contained a salient, irrelevant color singleton distractor. When one scene category was presented in the background (e.g., forests), the distractor had a greater probability of appearing in one display location than the others; for another scene category (e.g., cities), we used a different high-probability location. Results in Experiments 1 and 2 (and in supplemental data) failed to show any context-dependent suppression effects, consistent with earlier work. However, in Experiments 3 and 4, we reinforced the separation between task contexts by using distinct sets of shape and color stimuli as well as distinct kinds of reported features (line orientation vs. gap judgment). Results now showed robust task-dependent signatures of learned spatial suppression and did not appear to be tied to explicit awareness of the relationship between context and high-probability distractor location. Overall, these results reveal a mechanism of learned spatial suppression that is flexible and sensitive to task contexts, albeit one that requires sufficient processing of these contexts.
Do Chatbots Exhibit Personality Traits? A Comparison of ChatGPT and Gemini
Authors: Jedrzejczak W. Wiktor , Kobosko Joanna
Published: July 2024

The underlying design of Large Language Models (LLMs), trained on vast amounts of human texts, suggests that chatbots based on them might exhibit personality traits because of the human-like characteristics within the texts. The question raised here is whether chatbots are able to perceive their own personalities and distinguish them from humans’. Using the Big Five personality traits model, this study explores whether there are personality differences between several chatbot models (ChatGPT versions 3.5 and 4o, Gemini, and Gemini Advanced) and in languages (English and Polish). The results suggest subtle differences in personality traits between the chatbots. When questioned about their personalities, chatbots initially gave responses emulating a human, but when more specific and targeted inquiries were made they did disclose their own preferences as a LLM. The more advanced models (ChatGPT-4o and Gemini Advanced) displayed larger differences between their initial answers (as given by a supposed human) and the later answers (as given by the LLM itself) than did more basic models (ChatGPT-3.5 and Gemini). Compared to the average human subject, chatbots generally displayed higher Emotional stability and Intellect/Imagination but lower Agreeableness. Investigating chatbot personality traits is crucial for enhancing human–computer interaction by ensuring that LLM-based chatbots are perceived as relatable and trustworthy. It may also provide an insight into whether they might show self-awareness. Understanding how these traits are manifested by various types of chatbots might inform the development of more sophisticated and adaptive versions, perhaps leading to improved user satisfaction and more effective communication.
Teachers Then and Now: Are They Truly Attuned to the Needs and Emotions of their Students?
Authors: Bishwokarma Baburam
Published: July 2024

Student-teacher relationship is crucial in the process of imparting quality education which requires teachers to understand the emotional needs, interests, and, realities of the students. This auto-hermeneutic study was carried out with an objective of finding whether the teachers in the past and now are aware of the emotional needs, interests, and realities of the students in the context of Nepal. The study was conducted reflecting my own experiences as a school student, school teacher, and guardian of a school going boy. Analysing the three representative stories used as the primary information, the study concluded that there seems no substantial shift in the teachers’ attitudes and behavior in the Nepalese classrooms. Teachers appear to be insensitive regarding the emotional dynamics of teacher-student relationships in the Nepalese context. Thus, it is imperative to follow a holistic approach to teacher professional development that includes not only the transfer of content knowledge but also the cultivation of empathetic and emotionally aware educators.
Mathematical Modeling of Pollutants Dispersion in the Atmosphere
Authors: Kafle Jeevan , Adhikari Krishna Prasad , Poudel Eeshwar Prasad , Pant Ramesh Raj
Published: July 2024

Air pollution is one of the biggest problems in both developed and developing countries. Mathematical modeling is widely applied to assess how air pollutants impact on human and ecological health. In this paper, the fundamental behavior of the plumes along with stack height and the underlying assumptions of the Gaussian plume model were assessed. Additionally, the equation for advection and diffusion was also developed to analyze the pollutants concentration of brick kilns. Basically, the model considers the height, emission sources, eddy diffusivity, and wind profile as parameters by adopting the fundamental approaches of the model. Interestingly, the results revealed that when the stack height is reduced, pollutants are more prominent whereas when the stack height is increased, the pollutants are less prevalent along the x-axis. There is a close relationship between wind velocity and pollutants dispersion. The model illustrates that stronger winds tend to increase the dispersion of air pollutants; hence, areas with stronger winds typically have lower air pollution concentrations. The insights of this work will directly contribute to environmental sustainability by mitigating pollutants concentration, especially in the core urban areas. Additionally, the work is also applicable for the researcher and academia to select the optimal measurement techniques and ways forward for controlling the pollution level in the atmosphere.
Devadasi and Violence in Sisir Das’ A Bride for Jagannatha and Maya Goray’s Devadasi
Authors: Neha Rohilla  , Rekha Rani
Published: July 2024

Devadasi, a socio-cultural-religious system in India, involved ritualistic dedication of young girls to temples. Violent, exploitative, and subjugating, it was a tool of gender discrimination. Though this patriarchal tradition bestowed upon devadasi woman a notional status of a deity, in reality, it ended up objectifying them. Devadasi thus evolved as a double-edged oppressive, a culturally sanctioned power and economic practice. The present paper attempts to explore various nuances of direct and structural violence ranging from physical violence, sexual assault, psychological trauma, societal stigmatisation to political ostracisation through a critical reading of Sisir Das’ A Bride for Jagannatha and Maya Goray’s Devadasi. Since the system was fundamentally established on religious principles, devadasi women find it challenging to seek legal interventions against institutionalised assault and oppression. The present paper investigates how the system, overtime, impacts the physical and psychological realities, and the onerous difficulties that they encounter in their attempts to break free from this oppressive and dehumanising cycle.
Gender Identity and Cognition in Bangla Nursery Rhymes
Authors: Mst. Anjuman Ara
Published: July 2024

This paper examines the construction of male and female identities and gender cognition in Bangla nursery rhymes. Data include 34 selected rhymes, which were analysed following a qualitative content analysis method. The findings reveal both essentialist and non-essentialist gender constructions in the rhymes. On one hand, unlike men, women have less freedom of action, decision-making power, equal rights, and facilities for their physical and mental development, and on the other hand, there are also gender inclusive rhymes that acknowledge (young) women’s physical mobility, agency, and socio-economic contributions. Mothers are essentially represented as diligently and positively responsive to both daughters and sons, while girls’ health and creativity are highlighted in the modern rhymes. Thus, Bangla nursery rhymes reflect diversified gender identities and beliefs that encapsulate both traditional and emerging male and female roles.

Published: July 2024

The requirements of federal state educational standards, professional standards and the labor market contribute to the introduction of project-based learning into the educational process of the university. Despite the fact that issues related to project training are actively being investigated, however, a system of interrelated procedures regulating the activities of project participants has not been developed. This paper presents a methodology for the organization and support of project training aimed at the formation of universal and professional competencies of students, including the development and implementation of the project. The article describes ways to assess the level of competence formation.
The study examines the specifics of determining all aspects for the creation and implementation of the project. To verify the theoretical and practical provisions of the developed methodology for the organization of project-based education at the university, the formation of professional competencies is evaluated. The verification of the level of formation of professional competencies of the project participants is carried out on the basis of diagnostic sections described in detail on the example of the industrial practice "Research work" of students of the project master's degree in Mathematics 01.04.01, the orientation (profile) of the educational program "Teaching mathematics and computer science".
Formation of reading literacy of modern schoolchildren as a didactic problem (regional aspect)
Authors: Koreneva Anastasia Viacheslavovna , Ryzhkova Inna Vitalevna
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of formation of reading literacy of modern schoolchildren, which is interpreted as the most important type of functional literacy, based on the ability to operate various types of texts, understanding their deep meaning and correct interpretation. The authors reveal the specifics of the formation of reading literacy in Russian language classes, using regionally colored texts as a meaning-forming content component. The materials of the article reflect the data of the pedagogical experiment, which allows to adjust the methodological strategies of the teacher in a significant way. The authors state that despite the need to comply with the normative requirements set forth in the updated FSES, modern teachers do not work on the formation of functional literacy in the system. A comprehensive analysis of the educational results of the educational process allowed the authors of the article to argue that the content basis of lessons aimed at the formation of functional literacy can be regionally colored texts that allow building lines of in-depth dialogue against the background of understanding the meanings of the culture of the small homeland.

Published: July 2024

The article discusses the problem of the relationship between self-esteem of adolescents and their attitude towards the school teacher. The self-esteem of adolescents is connected with the formation of their active cognitive activity, which serves as a motive for developing their life position. This issue is not new in psychological and pedagogical science, but requires a deep reconsideration in connection with the introduction of the new generation of educational standards. The experimental study was conducted at the municipal autonomous educational institution "Secondary School No. 12 in Yelts named after V.A. Dorokhin" with the participation of 40 children aged 13–15 years. The study examined the characteristics of self-esteem of adolescents and their relationship with the teacher. The research used the self-esteem methodology of S.A. Budassi and the method of repertory grid by J. Kelly, allowing to determine the opinion of adolescents about their school teachers. The main method of studying the relationship of adolescents with the teacher was the methodology of A.A. Ryabov "Teacher through the eyes of the student". The conducted experimental research allowed to conclude that there is a direct relationship between the self-esteem of adolescents and their attitude towards the teacher, particularly adequate or lowered self-esteem contributes to predominantly positive attitudes towards the teacher by adolescents, while an inflated level of self-esteem leads to a negative type of relationship with the teacher.

Published: July 2024

The article contains the results of theoretical and practical analysis of the content of psychological training as a process of forming the psychological readiness of law enforcement officers to act in extreme conditions. From the standpoint of structural and systemic analysis, the author presents a model of psychological readiness to act in extreme and emergency situations.
The content of the concepts of «psychological training» and «psychological readiness» is explicated. The purpose and end result of psychological training is to develop employees' readiness to act effectively, accurately, professionally competently, clearly, reliably and with high efficiency in any extreme conditions, which is carried out through the development and stabilization of professionally important qualities, mastering special psychological knowledge, skills and abilities. The components of psychological readiness and the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities that ensure readiness are revealed.
The role of mental self-regulation skills in the performance of professional tasks and in the restoration of psychophysiological functions is shown. A list of skills reflecting mental readiness for self-regulation is proposed. This is the ability to recognize one's own mental state, control its psychophysiological manifestations, normalize rest, increase one's confidence, realize, control and change one's own thoughts and images that affect one's state, manage anger, organize one's time, and manage one's own subconscious attitudes.
The psychological content of the concepts of «psychological vulnerability» and «personal safety» is revealed. It is substantiated that personal security is the basis for solving applied problems of psychological training of law enforcement officers.
Drowsiness and mental exhaustion can be triggers of acceleration of the subjective time passag
Authors: Tsybulsky Arman
Published: July 2024

This article is devoted to the study the prevalence of the experience of accelerated subjective time passage (ASTP) among the population in Ukraine in 2021 (N=74). Widespread prevalence has been found, 64,41 % of the respondents noticed the signs of the phenomenon. The origin of the experience on the basis of previous studies and analysis of the given data hypothesized. The correlation with age was analyzed. No significant correlations were found, but in the first age group (20-29 years old) there was an unnatural excess of the number of respondents who mentioned ASTP, which allowed us to assume the multi-causality of the phenomenon. The main idea put forward by the analysis of the data was the emergence of ASTP as a consequence of loss of consciousness quality. Correlations were found between the responses of participants noting ASTP and weakness, laziness, unwillingness to develop and muted consciousness (r=0.266; p=0.022). Further investigating of the relationships led to the assumption that main trigger for the occurrence of the phenomenon is drowsiness, which reduces the consciousness quality.

The article highlighted the results of an empirical research of indicators of psychological adaptation of future psychologists to the educational process under the state of martial law. 68 students of specialty 053 Psychology took part in the study. According to the results of the data obtained during the research, it was established that difficulties with concentration, negative thoughts, increased distraction, chronic lack of time, low productivity, changes in eating behavior, anxiety, unease, irritability, suspiciousness, increased fatigue, pains in various parts of the body of an undefined nature, which indicate serious difficulties in concentrating on the educational process and demonstrate a high level of mental stress among the intellectual, behavioral, emotional and physiological symptoms of stress in future psychologists.The research of stress resistance and social adaptation of future psychologists emphasized the problematic nature of the situation, as more than a third of respondents had a low level of stress resistance. According to value orientations, changes in students’ priorities were more focused on increasing life values, new opportunities and relationships with others, which might indicate an increase in the importance of the environment. Regarding psychological well-being, it was found that a significant part of future psychologists showed a low level of it, which could affect the general quality of life and efficiency in education. The obtained data are important in the development of programs of psychological support of the educational process in higher education institutions under the state of martial law.
Somatic correlates of post-traumatic stress disorder
Authors: Safin Oleksandr
Published: July 2024

The article presents the results of a content analysis of modern foreign studies aimed at identifying somatic correlates of post-traumatic stress disorder. It is noted that today in the scientific literature on this issue, the description of the mechanisms of comorbidity of PTSD and somatic dysfunctions is largely contradictory and does not clarify the causal relationships in the formation of PTSD and somatic manifestations. It is shown that PTSD is associated with various psychosomatic and somatic symptoms in the vast majority of cases.
The results of foreign studies indicate that PTSD is accompanied by a large and diverse set of somatic and psychosomatic disorders of various nosologies. The most commonly described relationships are those between PTSD and cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders and autonomic dysfunctions. It remains unclear whether there is a hereditary predisposition to PTSD and whether PTSD is a trigger for the development of any somatic pathological manifestations. At the same time, the data of the presented studies suggest that: PTSD is a systemic psychosomatic disorder; PTSD may be a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular and other somatic diseases; somatic symptoms in PTSD are more pronounced in the presence of depression and sleep disorders; premorbid features that determine the specificity of the somatic response in PTSD may be neurobiological and physiological features, in particular, of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system.

Authors: Storozhuk Nataliia , Kozhedub Elena
Published: July 2024

The transition of higher military education to a competent dream basis, new educational standards, impose strict requirements on the quality of training of military specialists, on their ability to carry out military-professional activities in the conditions of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine. Full training of practical psychologists is impossible without a practice-oriented approach and the use of modeling methods in the educational process in higher military school. Such methods include the case method - the analysis of real situations of professional activity of a psychologist. Empirically substantiate the potential of using the case method in the formation of professional competencies of future officers-psychologists.
Theoretical analysis, synthesis, testing. The formation of professional competence of military psychologists is the most important task facing higher military education and depends not only on the content of education, but also on the organization of the educational process and educational technologies, such as the case method. Therefore, in order to form in future officers-psychologists special competencies on the ability of future professionals to carry out practical activities (training, psychotherapy, counseling) and provide psychological assistance to personnel in teaching the discipline "Individual counseling of servicemen and their families" were developed and used in the educational process mini-cases. An anonymous survey of applicants for higher education in the specialty 053 Psychology at the Military Institute allowed to empirically substantiate the effectiveness of this method in the training of officers-psychologists.
The use of the case method in combination with traditional forms and methods of teaching allows to integrate the theory and real practice of military-professional activity and to ensure high-quality formation of professional competencies of future officers-psychologists while studying at university.

Methods This is a cross-sectional and prospective study, carried out in a private educational institution, with children ≥6 years old, after ethical approval. An actigraph and sleep diary were used to assess sleep for 15 days. On the last night, urine was collected to measure 6-sulfatoxymelatonin levels. Descriptive analysis and non-parametric tests were carried out on correlations, considering p<0.05 for significance. Results The sample consisted of 12 children with a mean age of 7.6 (±1.1) years. The mean total sleep time was 7.9 (±0.8) hours with an efficiency of 89.9% (±2.67). The 6-sulfatoxymelatonin level was 14.4 (±8.9) µg/dL, and the mean daily use of electronic devices was 2.8 (±1.8) hours. There was a significant difference in total sleep time between children who studied full or late. Conclusion Family habits influenced children’s sleeping habits, and prolonged use of electronic devices is a concerning factor. Children who study full time had less total sleep time than recommended for their age.

Studi ini berfokus pada pengembangan model prediktif premi asuransi kesehatan dengan mengintegrasikan berbagai variabel, termasuk umur, jenis kelamin (sex), indeks massa tubuh (BMI), jumlah langkah harian (steps), jumlah anak (children), status perokok (smoker), wilayah geografis (region), dan klaim asuransi. Variabel-variabel tersebut diidentifikasi sebagai faktor-faktor kunci yang dapat mempengaruhi premi asuransi kesehatan. Pendekatan machine learning digunakan, khususnya model Artificial Neural Network (ANN), digunakan untuk memprediksi premi. Analisis perbandingan antara model ANN dan Multiple Linear Regression dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi keakuratan dan kinerja relatif keduanya. Prediksi yang dilakukan menggunakan metode ANN dan Multiple Linear Regression memberikan hasil yang cukup signifikan dimana secara berurutan nilai mean absolute error sebesar 1.242,59 dan 3.769,42, nilai mean squared error sebesar 15.713.857 dan 29.803.154. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa model ANN memiliki kemampuan prediksi premi yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan model Multiple Linear Regression, terutama dalam menangani pola kompleks dan interaksi non-linear antar variabel.Kata Kunci:  Asuransi Kesehatan, Premi Asuransi, Prediction, ANN, Multiple Linear Regression.
El crecimiento descentralizado regional en la planificación económica indicativa: el desarrollo regional de Galicia
Authors: Diaz Fernandez José Antonio
Published: July 2024

Introducción: La política española de desarrollo regional de la década de 1960 se inicia gracias a la aprobación del Plan de Estabilización Económica 1959-1961. La aprobación de esta planificación supuso un cambio de paradigma en la política económica española. Se abandona el modelo de la autarquía económica y se trataba de impulsar a la economía española hacia la apertura a los mercados internacionales, la modernización progresiva del sistema productivo y la competitividad en los mercados. Metodología: Se han manejado indicadores cualitativos y cuantitativos para tratar de estudiar los efectos de las políticas nacionales orientadas a procurar el desarrollo regional descentralizado. Resultados: La puesta en funcionamiento de un modelo de desarrollo económico regional descentralizado estaba llamado a originar un modelo de crecimiento sustentando en las potencialidades de desarrollo endógeno de las regiones españolas. La apertura hacia los mercados exteriores originó nuevas oportunidades y una óptima competitividad vía precios con economías internacionales. Discusión: El estudio analiza los planes e informes que fueron aprobados por parte de la Administración española de 1959 a 1974. El esfuerzo inversor efectuado en las diferentes regiones nos permite evaluar los resultados de la afluencia de capitales, la creación de empleo y la génesis de tejido productivo. Conclusiones: Los esfuerzos por tratar de lograr un desarrollo económico regional descentralizado se pusieron en marcha gracias a la aprobación de los Planes de Desarrollo Económico y Social. Las inversiones presupuestarias realizadas estaban encaminadas a lograr la modernización de las economías regionales. Para ello, se instrumentaron los Polos de Desarrollo en regiones como Galicia. Había que impulsar la articulación del mercado interior español y abrir las economías regionales al exterior.
