Background
Breast cancer is a leading global health concern, necessitating advancements in recurrence prediction and management. The development of an artificial intelligence (AI)–based clinical decision support system (AI-CDSS) using ChatGPT addresses this need with the aim of enhancing both prediction accuracy and user accessibility.

Objective
This study aims to develop and validate an advanced machine learning model for a web-based AI-CDSS application, leveraging the question-and-answer guidance capabilities of ChatGPT to enhance data preprocessing and model development, thereby improving the prediction of breast cancer recurrence.

Methods
This study focused on developing an advanced machine learning model by leveraging data from the Tri-Service General Hospital breast cancer registry of 3577 patients (2004-2016). As a tertiary medical center, it accepts referrals from four branches—3 branches in the northern region and 1 branch on an offshore island in our country—that manage chronic diseases but refer complex surgical cases, including breast cancer, to the main center, enriching our study population’s diversity. Model training used patient data from 2004 to 2012, with subsequent validation using data from 2013 to 2016, ensuring comprehensive assessment and robustness of our predictive models. ChatGPT is integral to preprocessing and model development, aiding in hormone receptor categorization, age binning, and one-hot encoding. Techniques such as the synthetic minority oversampling technique address the imbalance of data sets. Various algorithms, including light gradient-boosting machine, gradient boosting, and extreme gradient boosting, were used, and their performance was evaluated using metrics such as the area under the curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and F1-score.

Results
The light gradient-boosting machine model demonstrated superior performance, with an area under the curve of 0.80, followed closely by the gradient boosting and extreme gradient boosting models. The web interface of the AI-CDSS tool was effectively tested in clinical decision-making scenarios, proving its use in personalized treatment planning and patient involvement.

Conclusions
The AI-CDSS tool, enhanced by ChatGPT, marks a significant advancement in breast cancer recurrence prediction, offering a more individualized and accessible approach for clinicians and patients. Although promising, further validation in diverse clinical settings is recommended to confirm its efficacy and expand its use.

Published: September 2024

Предложен подход к учёту управляющих воздействий на динамику отраслевой структуры рынка труда при прогнозировании показателей отраслевой занятости. Применяемая схема прогнозирования основана на балансовой математической модели межотраслевых перемещений трудовых ресурсов. В рассмотренном ранее одним из авторов варианте схемы прогнозирования тренды показателей, характеризующих межотраслевую мобильность рабочей силы, определялись независимо друг от друга. В настоящей работе осуществлена модификация данной схемы: предложен способ группировки показателей межотраслевых перемещений и критерий определения общего тренда показателей внутри каждой группы. С помощью модифицированной схемы прогнозирования вычислены прогнозы отраслевой занятости на рынке труда РФ в 2011–2016 гг., произведено сравнение с ранее полученными результатами. По данным отраслевой занятости и безработицы за 2017–2021 гг., предоставляемым согласно классификатору ОКВЭД-2, осуществлён прогноз ожидаемого уровня занятости в конце 2022 г. На примере рынка труда РФ в 2017–2022 гг. рассмотрен способ определения результатов управления: продемонстрированы изменения прогнозов отраслевой занятости в случае учёта управляющих воздействий на аграрный и промышленный сектора исследуемого рынка.
This paper proposes an approach to considering control actions on the sectoral structure dynamics of a labor market when forecasting sectoral employment indicators. The forecasting scheme is based on the balance mathematical model of inter-sectoral labor resource movements. In the forecasting scheme considered previously, the trends of indicators characterizing inter-sectoral labor force mobility were determined independently of each other. In what follows, this forecasting scheme is modified by introducing a grouping method for the indicators of inter-sectoral labor resource movements and a criterion for determining the general trend of indicators within each group. The modified forecasting scheme is applied to calculate sectoral employment forecasts for the labor market of the Russian Federation in 2011–2016, and the forecasts are compared with the previous results. The expected employment rate is forecasted for the end of 2022 using sectoral employment and unemployment data for 2017–2021 according to the second edition of the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activity (OKVED). A method for determining the result of control actions is presented on an example of the Russian Federation labor market in 2017–2022: changes in the sectoral employment forecasts are demonstrated in the case of considering control actions on the agricultural and industrial sectors of the market.
MODELING OF THE TARGET’S INTERCEPTION DELAY IN AN ADT GAME WITH ONE OR TWO DEFENDERS
Authors: Галяев А.А. , Самохин А.С. , Самохина М.А. 
Published: September 2024

Рассматривается вариант Attacker-Defender-Target задачи с одним или двумя защитниками в плоской постановке. Предполагается, что цель и защитники двигаются прямолинейно с постоянной скоростью, атакующий двигается по догонной траектории без ограничения на радиус кривизны. Скорость защитников меньше скорости цели, скорость атакующего – больше. Смысл использования защитников заключается в том, чтобы атакующий вначале занимался их перехватом, и только после этого переключался на преследование основной цели. Тем самым время перехвата основной цели увеличивается, и она может стать недостижима для имеющего ограниченный запас топлива атакующего. Оптимизируются углы и времена выпуска защитников, в том числе рассматривается вариант выпуска защитников с одной стороны от цели. Исследование осуществляется для различных моделей работы системы самонаведения автономного атакующего аппарата: движения к центру масс всех преследуемых объектов, к ближайшей цели по расстоянию или по угловой дальности. Проведено численное моделирование, показывающее важность выбора угла выпуска защитников, целесообразность использования второго защитника, получены сценарии, в которых использование защитников делает основную цель недостижимой для атакующего.
This paper considers the Attacker–Defender–Target (ADT) problem with one or two defenders in a 2D statement. By assumption, the target and defenders move in a straight line with a constant velocity whereas the attacker moves along a catch-up trajectory with an unbounded radius of curvature. Compared to the target’s velocity, the defenders move slower whereas the attacker faster. The essence of using defenders is that the attacker first intercepts them and only then switches to pursuing the primary target. As a result, the time of intercepting the primary target increases, and the target may become unattainable for the attacker due to a limited fuel capacity. The angles and times of launching the defenders are optimized, including the case where both defenders are launched on the same side of the target. Different models of the homing system of an autonomous attacking vehicle are studied: moving to the center of mass of all pursued objects and moving to the nearest target by distance or by angular range. Numerical simulations are carried out, showing the importance of choosing the angle of launch of the defenders and the reasonability of using the second defender. Also, scenarios are obtained in which using defenders makes the primary target unattainable for the attacker.
Aportación de las mujeres directoras al cine y la memoria en torno al terrorismo de ETA
Authors: Labiano Roncesvalles 
Published: September 2024

El cine sigue siendo un sector masculinizado, sobre todo en los puestos directivos, creativos o técnicos. En ese contexto, exploramos la obra de las directoras al cine español en torno al terrorismo de ETA (1977-2023) para observar y valorar la aportación de la mujer en un entorno masculino por partida doble: la dirección de cine y la violencia terrorista. En el marco de la llamada “batalla del relato” y de los estudios de cine y género, y a partir de una metodología cualitativa basada en el análisis textual de los largometrajes y del estudio de la bibliografía, rastreamos la presencia y voz de las directoras. Nos preguntamos cuántas y quiénes son y cuál es su aportación al cine en torno a ETA y al cine español en general. Observamos qué historias, géneros y temas escogen y desde qué perspectivas los abordan. Atendemos a la forma y a cuestiones contextuales relacionadas con la producción y recepción de las obras. Los resultados muestran que las directoras son una minoría en el cine en torno al terrorismo en Euskadi y concluimos que sus trabajos pueden verse como una disrupción en un entorno adverso. Prefieren géneros como el drama o el documental, apuestan por una perspectiva humana, varias recogen historias reales o basadas en hechos reales cuyas protagonistas son mujeres fuertes y libres, y se acercan a historias de víctimas. Presentan personajes, sobre todo femeninos, que se escapan de los estereotipos y, en general, realizan una aportación a la memoria de lo sucedido crítica con la violencia.

The Relationship Between The Exchange Rate and The Price Elasticity of Demand for Some Imported Intermediate Goods in Iraq for The Period 2010-2021
Authors: Khaleel Ibraheem Ban , Mustafa Abdul Hameed Manahel 
Published: September 2024

The research provides several analyses, scientific evidence, and theoretical evidence, which clarify the relationship between the exchange rate in Iraq and the import of a group of intermediate goods for the period 2010-2021, as the research problem is represented by the problems and obstacles that caused a decline in the level of local production, and which contributed to an imbalance in output. GDP, and then an imbalance in the (non-oil) trade balance within the current account of the balance of payments. The research discussed the basic concepts of the exchange rate and its determination mechanism, price elasticity, intermediate goods and the relationship between these variables. After that, price elasticity coefficients were arrived at for three intermediate goods imported to Iraq: ordinary cement, resistant cement, and diesel oil for engines, according to the price elasticity formula, according to partial economic theory. The research aims to reveal the response of local demand for these goods through the effect of the exchange rate in Iraq, which translates the prices of these goods locally.
Moreover, a statement: Does the exchange rate in Iraq support local production by importing these goods? Is there a commitment to control border crossings and internal price control to prevent monopoly? What is the role of documentary credits as a tool for financing imports in Iraq? The research results showed that the exchange rate in Iraq needs to consider the necessity of these goods and their competition with local production.

Published: September 2024

The research aims to clarify the impact of adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on the asymmetry of accounting information. To achieve the research goal, the researchers selected commercial banks listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange as a research community, specifying (12) commercial banks as a sample for the research, and relied on the financial statements. Actually, for a period of (6) years (2013-2018), divided into (3) years before the adoption of IFRS and three years after the adoption of IFRS.A measure of the dispersion of financial analysts' forecasts was used to measure the impact of adopting IFRS on the asymmetry of accounting information. The researchers reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that the main reason for most countries in the world moving towards adopting IFRS has resulted of the developments witnessed in the financial markets have witnessed in the last two decades, economic units searching for sources of financing have turned to capital markets located outside the borders of their country in search of better investment opportunities because of the intensity of savings and investments in global markets

The Mediating Influence of Accounting Information Relevance on Mitigating Information Asymmetry via IT Governance Implementation
Authors: H. Thabit* Thabit , H. Abdullah Salman 
Published: September 2024

This research investigates the mediating role of Accounting Information Relevance (AIR) in mitigating Information Asymmetry (IA) through the implementation of Information Technology Governance (ITG) practices within the context of private commercial banks in Iraq. IA is a persistent concern in financial markets and firms, as it can lead to adverse consequences such as agency problems and reduced efficiency. The sample for this research comprises 99 employees from five private commercial banks operating in Iraq, and data analysis is conducted using the Smart PLS. By focusing on the unique setting of Iraq's private banking sector, this research contributes to the existing literature by shedding light on the effectiveness of ITG practices in a transitional economy. The research hypothesizes that the implementation of ITG practices positively influences the reduction of IA within these banks. Moreover, it proposes that AIR serves as a mediating mechanism, whereby the enhanced ITG practices lead to more relevant and timely accounting information, subsequently reducing IA. The findings of this research have implications for both scholars and practitioners in the fields of finance, accounting, and ITG. By examining the mediating role of AIR, this research finds that the combined relationship between ITG, AIR, and IA did not produce statistically meaningful outcomes in our examination. This suggests that the combined impact of these variables might not follow a linear pattern or could be contingent on specific contextual factors. It is possible that further investigation is necessary to elucidate the subtleties of this relationship.

Published: September 2024

AimsThis study aims to explore the different transition patterns and capture types during two bipolar pacing tests based on the selective left bundle branch (LBB) capture determined by the continuous pacing and recording technique.MethodsIn total, 67 patients completed two unipolar and two bipolar pacing tests based on selective LBB capture during screwing-in for left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) using the continuous pacing and recording technique. The electrophysiological characteristics and potential mechanisms of different pacing configurations were further evaluated in this study.ResultsWe found six transition patterns and derived seven capture types in two bipolar pacing tests according to the analysis of continuous electrocardiogram and electrogram changes. Compared with the conventional configuration of “Tip−Ring+” bipolar pacing, “Ring−Tip+” testing had a lower threshold for simultaneous capture of the LBB and the left and right ventricular septum myocardium (1.57 vs. 2.84 V at 0.5 ms) and was the only configuration to yield the peculiar “LBBP + right ventricular septum pacing (RVSP)” capture type.ConclusionsIn this study, we observed for the first time that “Ring−Tip+” bipolar pacing allows for a lower clinically applicable pacing threshold for simultaneous capture of the LBB and left and right ventricular septum myocardium, and the peculiar “LBBP + RVSP” capture type. This may be a more advantageous physiological pacing configuration, warranting further investigation and application in the future.Lay summaryBased on the specific selective LBB capture, we first found six transition patterns and derived seven capture types in two bipolar pacing tests due to the different thresholds of the LBB, left ventricular septal myocardial, and right ventricular septal myocardial. Compared with the conventional configuration of “Tip−Ring+” bipolar pacing, “Ring−Tip+” testing had a lower threshold for simultaneous capture of the LBB and the left and right ventricular septum myocardium (1.57 vs. 2.84 V at 0.5 ms) and was the only configuration to yield the peculiar “LBBP + RVSP” capture type. More pacing strategies should be released and investigated to achieve the best physiological pacing according to the individualized electrophysiological characteristics of patients.
