Implementation and Evaluation of an Anti-Fraud Prototype Based on Generative Artificial Intelligence for the Ecuadorian Financial Sector
Authors: Peña Isaac Patricio Arteaga , Ortega-Castro Juan Carlos 
Published: August 2024

Objectives: This study aims to develop a more economical and simpler alternative to the current anti-fraud systems in the popular and solidarity financial sector in Ecuador. Given the growing threat of banking fraud in Latin America and the regulatory requirements of the Superintendence of Popular and Solidarity Economy of Ecuador, a solution based on generative artificial intelligence (AI) is proposed to identify fraudulent transactions on mobile and web banking platforms.

Theoretical Framework: The implementation of anti-fraud systems in the financial sector is a complex challenge due to the evolving nature of fraud and the limitations of current systems, such as Custodian360, Monitor Plus, and Sentinel, which are perceived by more than 50% of surveyed professionals as costly and complex to implement. In this context, artificial intelligence, and specifically generative language models like GPT, present an opportunity to develop more accessible and effective solutions.

Method: A prototype was developed using the LLaMA3 GPT engine (8B parameters) and the Ollama framework, in addition to OpenAI models like ChatGPT 3.5 and 4. The methodology included a proof of concept in which a prompt was parameterized in Ollama, specifying fields of transactional frames in JSON format and defining anti-fraud rules in natural language. These rules were shared by Dycotein, enabling the identification of potentially fraudulent transactions.

Results and Discussion: The results indicated that models with fewer parameters, such as LLaMA3 8B and ChatGPT 3.5, are not suitable for the effective implementation of anti-fraud systems due to their limited capacity to handle complex rules. However, ChatGPT 4 showed promising results with simple rules, suggesting that while they are not a complete replacement for traditional programmatic systems, generative AI models can complement existing solutions, especially in less complex scenarios.

Research Implications: The findings of this study highlight the need for continued research and development of more advanced generative AI models for fraud detection, as current technologies are not yet fully effective for complex scenarios. Additionally, the importance of balancing cost and effectiveness in the implementation of anti-fraud systems is emphasized, especially in sectors with limited resources such as the popular and solidarity financial sector.

Originality/Value: This article presents an innovative approach to the use of generative artificial intelligence for the development of anti-fraud systems in a financial sector with budgetary constraints. By exploring the potential of advanced models like ChatGPT 4, the research opens new avenues for the creation of more accessible and adaptable solutions, offering significant value to the industry and academia in a context of increasing financial fraud in Latin America.

Authors: Carvalho Junior Carlos Eduardo Falcão de , Carvalho Ana Cristina Malheiros Gonçalves , Nunes Rafael da Silva 
Published: August 2024

Objective: To compare the current Forest Code, Law No. 12,651 of May 25, 2012 (BRAZIL, 2012), with the former Forest Code, Law No. 4,771 of September 15, 1965 (BRAZIL, 1965), to evaluate the impacts on the extent and occupation of protected areas resulting from the new parameters using the Municipality of Nova Friburgo/RJ as the study area.

Theoretical Framework: Developments and concepts of the Forest Code by Rajão et al. (2021), Azevedo (2013, 2019), Ramos (2018), and Machado and Torres (2013). Modeling in the ArcGIS environment with MapBiomas and CPRM databases.

Method: The research is based on geoprocessing technologies and remote sensing to delineate hilltops according to both Forest Codes. This procedure is based on the modeling by Silva, et al. (2017), suitable for ArcGIS. Three scenarios are comparatively analyzed to identify the distribution of land use and cover in protected regions, 10 years before and after the decree of the current Forest Code.

Results and Discussion: Comparative analysis shows that changes in topographic parameters reduce hilltop APP by 87.72% in the municipality of Nova Friburgo. There is an observed increase of 2.69 hectares of urbanized area and 175.88 hectares of forestry in these unprotected areas.

Research Implications: Analysis of hilltop APPs indicates that the current Forest Code is flexible and does not ensure the preservation of areas aggregated to the former code.

Originality/Value: To assist managers in reviewing the Forest Code. The comparative analysis between the Forest Codes allows for the comparison to identify the potential of changing topographic parameters.

Authors: Venkatasubramanian Vaishnavi , Sethi Jasmine , Kumar Vivek , Yadav Ashok Kumar , Lal Anupam , Kohli Harbir Singh 
Published: August 2024

Background:
Autosomal dominant kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic disorder leading to renal failure with limited therapeutic options. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of metformin in nondiabetic ADPKD patients and its role in slowing disease progression.

Materials and Methods:
We conducted a prospective, randomized controlled, open labelled clinical trial and enrolled 52 nondiabetic adults aged 18–60 years with typical ADPKD, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 45 mL/min/m2, and no risk factors of rapid disease progression. Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio by a computer-generated random number table into metformin + standard of care group (metformin arm) and standard of care group (Control arm). Primary outcome of the study was to evaluate the effects of metformin versus control arm on the percentage and absolute change in eGFR over a 6-month period.

Results:
Mean (SD) age of the cohort was 37.15 (10.16) years with half of them being females. The mean (SD) baseline htTKV and eGFR were 335.67 (153.3) mL/m and 100.23 (25.95) mL/min/m2, respectively. Clinical exome sequencing was available in nine (17.3%) patients of which two-thirds had PKD1 mutation. Baseline characteristics were distributed equally across randomized groups. Baseline proteinuria was significantly higher in the metformin arm (p = 0.014). The eGFR difference and percentage change in eGFR was not different between the groups at 6 months (p = 0.53 and 0.48, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in htTKV and percentage change in htTKV at 6 months between the groups, although an increase in htTKV was numerically smaller in the metformin group (p = 0.769, 0.805). Blood pressure, body weight, body mass index (BMI), and proteinuria also did not differ between the two groups. Only half of the cohort tolerated the maximum dose of metformin. Around two-thirds of patients reported adverse effects, most commonly asthenia.

Conclusion:
Metformin appears to be safe and well tolerated in nondiabetic patients with ADPKD.

Introduction:
Discovering predictors to reduce morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now a critical global priority. Serum phosphate level is considered to be a potential marker for mortality rate in patients with CKD. Previous studies examined the independent pathogenic role of phosphorus in the development of CKD and dialysis patients but have yielded contradictory findings. This study aims at evaluating the relationship between serum phosphate levels and death rates in pre-dialysis CKD and maintenance of dialysis patients.

Method:
PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched by using MeSH term keywords. The authors did screening, data extraction, and quality assessment in accordance with the inclusion criteria. STATA 14.2 was used for statistical analyses. The analysis was performed using the random- and fixed-effects model when the heterogeneity was >50% and ≤50%, respectively. For evaluating publication bias, Funnel plots and Egger tests were used.

Result:
Eleven original studies between 2005 and 2021 met the eligibility criteria. The overall estimate of unadjusted HR of all-cause mortality each 1 mg/dL increase in the serum phosphate concentration using the random-effects model in pre-dialysis CKD and dialysis patients was 1.33 (95% CI: 0.97, 1.82, I2 = 99.1%, P = 0.074), and for adjustment, Hazard ratio was 1.27 (95% CI: 1.15, 1.39, I2 = 75.4%, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The findings showed the association between serum phosphate levels and death rates in pre-dialysis individuals with CKD and dialysis patients.

Published: August 2024

Многолетние почвенные исследования и агрохимическая оценка сельскохозяйственных угодий Республики Адыгея показывают незначительную, но устойчивую тенденцию к снижению потенциального плодородия почв (содержание гумуса) и, соответственно, к ухудшению качества почвенного покрова. За каждый тур агрохимического обследования сельскохозяйственных угодий Республики Адыгея содержание гумуса в почве снижается в среднем на 0,068%, что составляет 0,014 % в год свидетельствует о развитии процессов дегумификации.
Long-term soil research and agrochemical assessment of agricultural land in the Republic of Adygea shows a slight but steady trend towards a decrease in potential soil fertility (humus content) and, accordingly, a deterioration in the quality of soil cover. For each round of agrochemical survey of agricultural land in the Republic of Adygea, the humus content in the soil decreases by an average of 0,0679%, which is 0,01358% per year, which indicates the development of dehumification processes.

Published: August 2024

В статье рассматривается алгоритм дифференциальной эволюции и определяются целевые характеристики, повышение которых является актуальной задачей. Предлагается ряд подходов к модернизации алгоритма дифференциальной эволюции, которые, согласно выдвинутым в работе гипотезам, позволят повысить значения целевых характеристик. Предложенные подходы разработаны на основе результатов современных исследований в области эволюционной биологии. Они представляют собой моделирование биологических процессов, которые, по мнению ряда исследователей, ускоряют эволюционный процесс в биологических системах. Моделируемые биологические процессы связаны, в том числе, с такими объектами исследования эволюционной биологии, как репарация ДНК, взаимосвязь между генотипом и фенотипом, синергетический эффект отрицательных мутаций, а также взаимодействие в системе «хищник-жертва», формализуемое математической моделью Лотки-Вольтерры. Приводятся общие рассуждения о постановке вычислительных экспериментов для проверки выдвинутых гипотез.

A number of approaches to the modernization of differential evolution algorithm are proposed, which, according to the hypotheses put forward in the work, will increase the values of target characteristics. The proposed approaches are developed based on results of modern research in an evolutionary biology. They represent modeling of biological processes, which, according to some researchers, accelerate the evolutionary process in biological systems. This biological processes are associated with such evolutionary biology fi elds as DNA repair, the relationship between genotype and phenotype, the synergistic effect of negative mutations and the interaction in the «predator-prey» system, formalized with the Lotka-Volterra mathematical model. Also general considerations about making experiments for testing the hypotheses are given.
