The Significance of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the Identification of Immunotherapy Targets for Cancer: Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions
Authors:   Department of Pharmacognosy Kampala International University Uganda, Erisa Kungu
Published: November 2024

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by leveraging the immune system to target malignant cells, yet resistance in many cancers highlights the need for novel therapeutic targets. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have emerged as transformative tools for identifying new immunotherapy targets by analyzing vast datasets from genomics, proteomics, and clinical studies. This review explores the role of AI and ML in advancing the discovery of cancer-specific immunotherapy targets, such as tumor antigens and immune pathways. Key advances include the integration of big data, neoantigen prediction, biomarker discovery, and single-cell analysis. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, including data quality and standardization, interpretability of AI models, computational costs, and the need for biological validation of AI-driven discoveries. As AI and ML technologies continue to evolve, they hold the potential to overcome these barriers, leading to personalized immunotherapy solutions. This review also discusses future directions for AI-driven immunotherapy, emphasizing the need for improved models, ethical considerations, and clinical integration.

The Navier-Stokes equation and a fully developed turbulence
Authors: Apostol Marian
Published: November 2024

In fairly general conditions we give explicit (smooth) solutions for the potential flow. We show that, rigorously speaking, the equations of the fluid mechanics have not rotational solutions. However, within the usual approximations of an incompressible fluid and an isentropic flow, the Navier-Stokes equation has approximate vorticial (rotational) solutions, generated by viscosity. However, in general, these vortices are unstable, and a discrete distribution of vorticial solutions is not in me chanical equilibrium; it forms an unstable vorticial liquid. On the other hand, these solutions may exhibit turbulent, fluctuating instabilities for large variations of the velocity over short distances. We represent a fully developed turbulence as a homogeneous, isotropic and highly-fluctuating distribution of singular centres of turbulence. A regular mean flow can be included. In these circumstances the Navier-Stokes equation exhibits three time scales. The equations of the mean flow can be disentangled from the equations of the fluctuating part, which is reduced to a vanishing inertial term. This latter equation is not satisfied after averaging out the temporal fluctuations. For a homogeneous and isotropic distribution of non-singular turbulence centres the equation for the inertial term is satisfied trivially, i.e. both the average fluctuating velocity and the average fluctuating inertial term are zero. If the velocity is singular at the turbulence centres, we are left with a quasi-ideal classical gas of singularities, or a solution of singularities (solute) in quasi thermal equilibrium in the background fluid (solvent). This is an example of an emergent dynamics. We give three examples of vorticial liquids.
Climate Change Could Reduce the Geographic Distribution of the Natterjack Toad in Semi-Arid Regions: A 34-Year Study in Central Spain
Authors: Cano-Barbacil Carlos , Cano Sánchez Javier
Published: November 2024

Amphibians are globally threatened due to pollution, infection diseases, invasive species, habitat loss and climate change. Rising temperatures and shifts in precipitation regimes can have a major impact on the persistence of amphibian populations, especially in semi-arid regions. In this study, we used a long term time series spanning 34 years in central Spain to evaluate the effect of three climatic variables on the reproductive success of the natterjack toad (Epidalea calamita) in temporary ponds. Our results showed that reproductive success was only possible for seven years (20.6%). We found that reproductive success is positively related to the accumulated spring precipitation, while negatively related to mean spring temperature and spring evaporation. This study highlights the importance of conserving and restoring amphibian breeding habitats in order to minimize the potential impacts of climate change and habitat loss.

The impacts of the shortage of medicines on service delivery in the healthcare system (a case study of Princess Marina Hospital, Gaborone-Botswana)
Authors: Modutlwa Nkaelang
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The prevalent shortage of medicines results in pressure on healthcare providers to substitute unavailable medicines with alternatives. This compromises the best healthcare and greatly negatively impacts the patient’s treatment outcomes. Furthermore, this increases morbidity and mortality rates. However, there was a dire need to investigate the impacts of supply and demand challenges of medicines on service delivery, specifically at Princess Marina Hospital, Botswana’s largest hospital.
Methodology: This study adopts a quantitative method facilitated by a closed-ended questionnaire at Princess Marina Hospital in Gaborone, Botswana.
Findings: The four impacts of the supply and demand challenges of medicines on service delivery identified are ineffective treatment leading to negative clinical outcomes, lack of service leading to humanistic outcomes, lack of available therapy options leading to unstandardized service, and expensive medicines leading to inaccessibility of services. These impacts have significant implications that pose a health risk to the population, community, and patient well-being. Therefore, this study represents a positive stride towards mitigating the impacts by highlighting the risks posed by medicines' supply and demand challenges. The findings of this study provide a wider overview of the consequences of the shortages of medicines, promote improvements in service delivery and positive treatment outcomes, and influence policy development informed by research.
Originality/Value: Shortages of medicines in both public and private sectors in Botswana have not been adequately studied despite their negative impacts on the patient’s treatment outcomes and service delivery. The impacts of the shortages of medicines at Princess Marina Hospital are identified in this paper.

Authors: Chunjing Yan , Yingfeng Deng
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: As the author`s country adheres to the basic national policy of opening to the outside world, persists in opening the country, and gradually increases the exchanges with the outside world, the society`s demand for compound translators is relatively increasing, and the work of Business English translation teaching has become more important. Therefore, the reform of Business English translation teaching puts forward higher requirements for translation teaching. OBJECTIVE: Studies have found that translation teaching has an important impact on the workload and work pressure of newcomers to the translation teaching industry, as well as the mental health of the new generation of translators. This not only has important value for studying the mental health of translation teachers, but also can make young Business English Translation teachers have a better understanding of the industry they are engaged in, which helps to properly handle various problems at work and reduces the psychological pressure on translators brought by Business English translation teaching and the impact of their own mental health. METHODS: This article uses the Psychological Stress Scale for Business English Translation Teaching Work and the Mental Health Self-Assessment Scale to analyze and summarize the information obtained by the newcomers to the translation teaching industry in Guangxi through questionnaire surveys. RESULTS: Newly recruited translators have higher scores on the psychological pressure of Business English translation teaching, which shows that the psychological pressure of newly recruited translators is relatively high. There is a significant correlation between the mental health of newly recruited translation teachers and the psychological pressure they feel in Business English translation teaching. CONCLUSIONS: In order to solve the problems encountered in the work, reduce the psychological pressure caused by Business English translation teaching, and improve the psychological and physical quality of young teachers, young teachers should know their own profession from many aspects and master its characteristics.
Assessing the association between developed surface area and land surface temperature of urban areas
Authors: Ustin Niko , Khorana Ethan , Ungar Jillian , Nusca-Dagon Samuele , Hodges Julia , Kordeleski Zachary , Delloro Derick , Tausz Claudia
Published: November 2024

Urban heat islands are metropolitan areas with warmer land surface temperatures (LST) than the surrounding rural areas, and are associated with worse air and water quality, increased numbers of blackouts and power outages, and increased heat-related illnesses and deaths. The objective of this study was to investigate the contributions of infrastructure development to LST in a sample of neighborhoods in Cleveland, Ohio. Utilizing satellite images, we compared the performance of color analysis software to manual measurement in assessing the amount of developed geographic surface area in a sample. We investigated the correlation between surface area development and LST. Color analysis produced comparable results relative to the manual measurement of the extent of development in a sample (R2 = 0.9, p < 0.0001). Results show a moderate degree of linearity between the proportion of development in an area and its LST (R2 = 0.48, p < 0.0001). This suggests that development may be a contributor to rising temperatures in urban areas. Efforts toward sustainable development and increases in greenery could help slow the rising temperatures. Assessments of the proportion of areas that are developed could guide where these efforts are focused.

Las Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes en México cambian la Matrícula Escolar por un Lugar y un Apodo en las Filas del Crimen Organizado
Authors: Hernández Martínez Gaspar
Published: November 2024

Este artículo examina la creciente influencia del crimen organizado en el Estado de México, destacando sus efectos devastadores en la sociedad y las instituciones. Comienza explorando las causas estructurales de esta problemática, como la pobreza, la falta de oportunidades y la desigualdad, que han facilitado el reclutamiento de menores de edad en actividades delictivas. A pesar de la existencia de leyes y políticas de prevención, como la Ley Nacional del Sistema Integral de Justicia Penal para Adolescentes, estos esfuerzos resultan insuficientes frente al poder de los grupos criminales. El artículo subraya cómo el crimen organizado influye en la política, mediante coerción y amenazas a candidatos, lo que erosiona el sistema democrático y afecta la confianza en las instituciones. Se concluye que el problema requiere una respuesta integral, que combine represión y prevención, promoviendo políticas públicas que aborden la falta de oportunidades económicas y fortalezcan los derechos humanos. Las recomendaciones incluyen mejorar la coordinación gubernamental, reformar la legislación, aumentar la transparencia y desarrollar programas de apoyo educativo y psicológico para los jóvenes en riesgo, con el fin de proteger a la sociedad y brindar alternativas al crimen organizado.
Las Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes del Estado Mexiquense en las Garras del Crimen Organizado, Carente en Materia de Políticas de prevención
Authors: Hernandez Martinez Gaspar
Published: November 2024

El artículo explora el alarmante fenómeno en México donde niñas, niños y adolescentes abandonan la escuela para unirse al crimen organizado, lo cual refleja problemas profundos en las políticas educativas y de seguridad del país. Con base en estadísticas oficiales, se expone cómo la falta de oportunidades y el débil sistema de seguridad incrementan la vulnerabilidad de los menores, quienes son reclutados por grupos delictivos. Se analiza el impacto de la deserción escolar, los factores que la causan (como la pobreza y la falta de interés), y cómo los vacíos en la educación de calidad influyen en la criminalidad juvenil. La narrativa critica la insuficiencia de las políticas preventivas y enfatiza la urgencia de una colaboración entre gobierno, instituciones y sociedad para detener este fenómeno. Así, se plantea que el fortalecimiento del sistema educativo y de seguridad podría reducir la exposición de la juventud al crimen, favoreciendo su desarrollo en un ambiente más seguro y con mayores oportunidades para un futuro estable.

Authors: Joy Therese L. Villon  , Marilyn U. Balagtas
Published: November 2024

According to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 results, the Philippines scored the second-lowest point total in mathematics and science. Meanwhile, Singapore continues to top international large-scale assessments due to their effective instructional practices. This study aimed to analyze the instructional practices of Filipino teachers implementing the Philippine and Singapore elementary mathematics curricula as possible inputs for needed improvements in the delivery of mathematics instruction at the elementary level. Specifically, the analysis focused on the preparatory and developmental activities in the mathematics teachers’ instruction. The descriptive-comparative research method was used to determine the teachers’ instructional practices. The researchers utilized document analysis, in-depth interviews, and observations of 32 elementary mathematics teachers. Results revealed that teachers using the Philippine elementary mathematics curriculum utilized long drills, contextualized story problems, and integration of other subject areas into their preparatory and developmental activities. On the other hand, elementary teachers implementing the Singapore elementary mathematics curriculum commonly used the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract sequence as an instructional approach and model drawing as an instructional practice in teaching mathematics. The study focused only on describing the predominant instructional approaches observed among Filipino mathematics teachers implementing the Singapore and Philippine elementary mathematics curricula, but not on testing the effectiveness of such instructional practices. Future researchers may consider including more participants and a longer duration of research to unveil mathematics teachers’ best instructional practices and to provide more accurate results.
