Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning-Based System Design for Diabetic Retinopathy Classification
Authors: Gudadhe K. H.
Published: January 2024

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious eye disease that may lead to blindness and mostly affects diabetics. Damage to the macula is caused by DR in the retina’s blood arteries, which leads to irregular blood flow and blood spills across the retina. The retinal tissue expands, making it difficult to see clearly. Diabetic retinopathy manifests first as microaneurysms (MAs), which are small, blood vessel dilations that look like little red sacs. Red dots of varying sizes appear on the retina when DR has progressed to this point. Third, Exudates (EXs) appear as tiny, yellowish-white deposits within the eye due to leaking fluid and proteins from damaged retinal capillaries. If DR is diagnosed and treated before permanent vision loss occurs, it may be possible to prevent it. AI is an innovative technology on par with the Internet and the electrification of the world. Because of the infinite capabilities of artificial intelligence and digital image processing technologies, timely and individualised health treatment is now within reach for people of all ages. An abundance of new medical images are now available for study and diagnosis because to the rapid expansion of medical imaging technologies. Artificial intelligence has made possible new breakthroughs in medicine.

tRNA: The operational RNA code and protein folding

Charles W. Carter, Jr., from the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, relates molecular recognition used in genetic coding to structures of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and their cognate tRNAs. Genetic coding is simultaneously widely understood and little appreciated. Widely understood because Marshall Nierenberg worked out the codon assignments within a decade or so of the double helical structure of DNA by Watson and Crick (1). Little appreciated because a code, as far as we know, is something Nature had never produced – a symbolic mapping of the physical chemistry of the 20 amino acid side chains. The Morse code is a widely appreciated example. Like inheritance, the genetic code is a property of biology.

Youths’ solutions to local invasive species

Educating students about real-world, issues such as local invasive species aims to encourage wider engagement with STEM. Climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic are only two examples of global problems requiring help from STEM professionals. However, there exists a shortage in the STEM workforce(1) and less than 25% of youth show interest in pursuing STEM careers.(2) Researchers and educators alike acknowledge the need to get more students interested in STEM. One response is to showcase real-world issues with tangible solutions. In many schools, students complete labs on topics such as chemical reactions or animal dissection. Although these topics are necessary in addressing real-world issues, they may not always help students recognize issues they can immediately take part in solving.(3)

Opinion: Do universities help or hurt innovation?

Do Universities help or hurt innovation? Find out in this 25-year academic entrepreneur’s anecdotal perspective of starting companies and developing implants. Thomas J. Webster shares his opinion here. Top research U.S. Universities and others worldwide, sometimes along with respective government funding agencies (like the NSF and the NIH in the U.S.), have spent billions of dollars trying to translate their faculty’s research to industry to develop real commercial products. Whether establishing University technology transfer offices (whose objective is to foster faculty research translation), paying IP lawyer fees for patents, establishing incubator spaces for University faculty spin-out companies, or issuing grants aimed at research primed for industry adoption, it is clear that U.S. Universities are in the high stakes and high funding game of entrepreneurship, and have been so for the last several decades.

Decarbonising the steel industry: Reasons to be cheerful

Filip Johnsson, Lisa Göransson and Alla Toktarova, explain why decarbonising the steel industry gives us reasons to be cheerful. In Europe, the steel, cement, chemical, and petrochemical industries, which are vital elements in many strategic value chains in the EU industry, are responsible for around 70% of industrial CO2 emissions (de Bruyn et al., 2020). 11% of industrial CO2 emissions in the UK come from steel production (Make UK, 2022). In 2021, the European Commission presented the ‘Fit for 55’ package intending to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% by 2030, as compared with 1990, and to reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. In March 2023, the European Commission proposed the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), seeking to promote investments in the production capacity of products crucial to meet the EU’s climate neutrality goals.

A Systematic Review On Green Banking Disclosure
Authors: Windasari Rachmawati
Published: January 2024

This paper presents a systematic review of the topic of Green Banking Disclosure (GBD). GBD has been a growing concept since 2008, with its development bringing about changes, both in terms of the natural and social environments. As such, it is crucial to give it due attention. The study reviewed 50 papers, including 65 empirical ones, and yielded four main findings. Firstly, in terms of theory, legitimacy theory, stakeholder theory, and the concept of Spider profit growth, which serves as an indicator of a company's fund utilization efficiency, were prevalent in the literature. These theories provide a basis for evaluating company management performance, motivating management, and controlling economic resource allocation, ultimately aiding in forecasting future profits and economic events. Secondly, the Green Coin Rating (GCR) concept, comprising six points, played a significant role in the discourse on green banking. Thirdly, the majority of GBD studies were conducted in Muslim-majority countries. The research population included all financial reports of Islamic Commercial Banks during the period 2016-2019. The sample consisted of nine Islamic Commercial Banks that published annual reports up to 2019 and met the criteria for implementing the Green Banking concept. The study suggests that future research endeavors should consider integrating both primary and secondary data to assess the implementation of Green Banking and green financing in banking institutions. This approach would lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the subject and provide a more communicative perspective for customers.

Yet, literature on marine tourism development shows a scarcity of studies that draw from local wisdom, even though local community participation is underlined as one of the most important factors in successful marine tourism development. This paper explores the role of adopting local wisdom and indigenous practices in marine tourism development in showcasing the uniqueness of marine tourism destinations, with the case study of Misool, Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Misool is one of the islands in Raja Ampat which attracts marine tourists from around the world due to its abundance marine life. Using a conversational method for data collection, this paper analyzes how the integration of local wisdom and indigenous practices in tourism takes place and how tourists appreciate them. Findings from conversations with local people who worked as tour guides  and dive guides show that the guests expressed appreciation when being asked to follow specific things according to their local wisdom and indigenous practices when visiting some of the tourist attractions or dive sites. Some of their guests stated that Misool is unique because of these practices. These findings reveal that adopting local wisdom and indigenous practices in a marine tourism destination emphasizes the uniqueness of the place. Moreover, the unique culture of the local community can also be an added value to the total tourism experience.

Self-Consciousness, Transparency, and Reflection
Authors: Boyle Matthew
Published: January 2024

The capacity of human knowers to turn their cognitive powers upon themselves has long fascinated philosophers.  My book Transparency and Reflection grew out of an attempt to comprehend a fundamental thought from Kant about the significance of this capacity for self-consciousness: namely, that it transforms the general character of human knowing, giving rise to a distinctively rational form of cognition and supplying the basis for a distinctively philosophical understanding of our own minds and of the world with which they engage.  In seeking to understand these Kantian ideas, however, I found myself struggling with difficulties that led me to re-think my approach, moving away from a Kantian formulation of these points and toward one inspired by ideas from Sartre.  In the present essay, I describe the difficulties that led me from Kant to Sartre, and I also seek to explain how, in spite of this shift in perspective, my book bears out various fundamental Kantian thoughts about the significance of human self-consciousness.
Kognitive Optimierung durch KI?
Authors: Ammon Sabine
Published: January 2024

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) promise cognitive optimization in many areas of our lives, ranging from automated decision-making to superintelligence. In a predominant narrative, the black-box of machine learning systems is identified as one of the biggest obstacles from an epistemic point of view. The problem is expected to be solved by algorithmic counteractions emerging from the field of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). However, deeper questions about a meaningful cognitive division of labor between AI algorithms and human actors who use these systems are vastly ignored. The article aims to replace the dominant anthropomorphizing metaphors by a reconceptualization based on philosophy of technology. The new framework allows to interpret AI technology as an epistemic tool, which co-shapes a specific milieu of reflection and which is based on an epistemic model of automated knowledge production. This re-conceptualization offers a new perspective on AI technologies, where epistemic empowerment and epistemic sovereignty are in the center.
Erfolg bei Bürgermeisterwahlen
Authors: Kirsch Steffen
Published: January 2024

Wahlerfolg oder Niederlage?
Immer wieder ziehen spektakuläre, unerwartete »Abwahlen« von Bürgermeistern hohe mediale Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Die Fallstudien des Buchs arbeiten detailliert die möglichen Gründe für solche Fehlschläge heraus und zeigen, welche Lehren sich aus ihnen sowohl für Amtsinhaber als auch für neu Kandidierende ziehen lassen.

Was ist daran am »Schleudersitz« Bürgermeisteramt?
Empirisch wurden sämtliche Bürgermeisterwahlen in Baden-Württemberg aus den Jahren 2005–2022 untersucht, um zunächst die Frage zu beantworten, ob sich das Amt tatsächlich zu dem »Schleudersitz« entwickelt hat, als das es oftmals beschrieben wird.

Wie schafft man die Hürde der Wahl bzw. Wiederwahl?
Der Autor zeigt konkrete Erfolgsfaktoren auf und leitet daraus strategische Tipps für Kandidierende sowie Amtsinhaber ab, um die Hürde der erstmaligen Wahl oder der Wiederwahl zu meistern. Abgerundet wird das Buch durch eine Reihe von praktischen Empfehlungen für die Planung und Durchführung von erfolgreichen Wahlkämpfen.

Bundesweiter Strategieratgeber
Trotz des empirischen Fokus auf die Wahlen zum Amt des Bürgermeisters in Baden-Württemberg sind die praktischen Hinweise und Empfehlungen auch auf andere Bundesländer übertragbar. In der Verbindung aus wissenschaftlichem Erkenntnisgewinn und praktischer Relevanz in Bezug auf Bürgermeisterwahlen liegt die besondere Stärke des Strategieratgebers.
