A Prospective Metaverse Paradigm Based on the Reality-Virtuality Continuum and Digital Twins
Authors: Zare Abolfazl , Jalali Aliakbar 
Published: March 2024

:
After decades of introducing the concept of virtual reality, the expansion, and significant
advances of technologies and innovations, such as 6g, edge computing, the internet of
things, robotics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, quantum computing, and digital twins, the
world is on the cusp of a new revolution. By moving through the three stages of the digital
twin, digital native, and finally surrealist, the metaverse has created a new vision of the future
of human and societal life so that we are likely to face the next generation of societies (perhaps
society 6) in the not too distant future. However, until then, the reality has been that the
metaverse is still in its infancy, perhaps where the internet was in 1990. There is still no single
definition, few studies have been conducted, there is no comprehensive and complete paradigm
or clear framework, and due to the high financial volume of technology giants, most of these
studies have focused on profitable areas such as gaming and entertainment. The motivation and
purpose of this article are to introduce a prospective metaverse paradigm based on the revised
reality-virtuality continuum and provide a new supporting taxonomy with the three dimensions
of interaction, immersion, and extent of world knowledge to develop and strengthen the theoretical
foundations of the metaverse and help researchers. Furthermore, there is still no comprehensive
and agreed-upon conceptual framework for the metaverse. To this end, by reviewing
the research literature, discovering the important components of technological building
blocks, especially digital twins, and presenting a new concept called meta-twins, a prospective
conceptual framework based on the revised reality-virtuality continuum with a new supporting
taxonomy was presented.

Authors: Sarkar Raktimava Das , Bose Aryama , Rudra Anandamoy 
Published: March 2024

:
The ongoing threat of COVID-19 has prompted us to search for innovative strategies
to enhance immune responses in affected patients. Phytoconstituents derived from Ashwagandha, Amla, and Ginger have gained attention due to their historical usage in traditional medicine
and potential immune-modulatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. This review investigates
the synergistic effects of phytoconstituents from Ashwagandha, Amla, and Ginger to identify
potential immunity-boosting agents for COVID-19 patients. The investigation involved a comprehensive analysis of the immune-modulatory compounds present in Ashwagandha, the high
vitamin C content in Amla, and the immunomodulatory constituents in Ginger. The concept of
"phytochemical synergy" was explored, hypothesizing that their combined effects could enhance
antiviral capabilities. The combined phytoconstituents from Ashwagandha, Amla, and Ginger
demonstrated a potential synergistic interaction, suggesting an amplified immune-boosting effect. The adaptogenic properties of Ashwagandha, the rich vitamin C source in Amla, and the
immunomodulatory components of Ginger appeared to complement each other, contributing to
a holistic approach to viral resistance. While the investigation into the synergy of Ashwagandha,
Amla, and Ginger holds promise as an immunity-boosting strategy, careful consideration is warranted due to factors like appropriate dosing, safety profiles, and potential interactions with conventional treatments. This study underscores the significance of combining traditional wisdom
with modern research efforts. As the world continues to combat the complexities of COVID-19,
exploring these botanical sources serves as a reminder of the abundant resources nature offers.
While further rigorous research and clinical trials are essential, pursuing these phytoconstituents
exemplifies our commitment to exploring all viable avenues in the battle against COVID-19.

Authors: Tripathi Shraddha , Mishra Neha , Malaviya Ritika , Ansari Arshi , Shrimali Simran , Mishra Neetu 
Published: March 2024

Background:
Green Coffee Bean (GCB) is covered with silver skin that is shed as a
by-product of the roasting process. For the first time, a comparative study was conducted to differentiate
the compositional analysis of green coffee beans with silver skin and without silver
skin.

Objective:
The study aims comparatively assessing nutritional, anti-nutritional and fatty acids
composition of green coffee beans with silver skin and without silver skin. The present study is
also intended to find out various organic compounds of green coffee beans.

Methods:
The proximate analysis was used to study nutritional composition. Mineral analysis
was assessed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The antinutrients like phytic acid and tannin
were assessed by UV-visible spectroscopy whereas volumetric and gravimetric analysis was
used to determine oxalates and alkaloids. Gas chromatography and Fourier Transform Infra-Red
spectroscopy were used for studying fatty acids and organic compounds, respectively.

Results:
Protein content was significantly (p<0.05) high in green coffee beans with silver skin,
indicating 15% higher protein. Macro mineral content was also found significantly (p<0.05 and
p<0.01) high in green coffee beans with silver skin, whereby 5.11% higher Phosphorus and
24.12% higher Calcium content was observed. However, iron content was 68.10% lower in
green coffee beans with silver skin which might be due to its higher tannin content. Trace minerals
zinc and copper were also found to contain 57.18% to 18.11% higher concentrations respectively
in silver skin. Anti-nutritional analysis revealed the content of phytic acid and tannin
as 161 and 77.29 mg/100g, respectively in green coffee beans with silver skin. The percentages
of oxalates and alkaloids were found to be 0.64 and 14.30. These anti-nutritional compounds
were significantly (p<0.05 and p<0.01) higher from green coffee beans without silver skin.
Green coffee beans have been found with an utmost number of saturated fatty acids having palmitic
acid as the most abundant. The unsaturated part is mainly composed of linoleic and oleic
acid. Chlorogenic acid isomers and caffeine were the organic compounds detected through Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy.

Conclusion:
These findings reveal the presence of both nutritional and anti-nutritional components
in Coffee silver skin, with significantly higher levels of anti-nutritional factors in green
coffee with silver skin, emphasizing the need for caution in the consumption of green coffee and
utilization of coffee silver skin as a valuable bioresource.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
Childhood mental health issues concern a large amount of children worldwide and represent a major public health challenge. The lack of knowledge among parents and caregivers in this area hinders effective management. Empowering families enhances their ability to address their children’s difficulties, boosts health literacy, and promotes positive changes. However, seeking reliable mental health information remains challenging due to fear, stigma, and mistrust of the sources of information.

Objective
This study evaluates the acceptance of a website, CléPsy, designed to provide reliable information and practical tools for families concerned about child mental health and parenting.

Methods
This study examines user characteristics and assesses ease of use, usefulness, trustworthiness, and attitude toward using the website. Platform users were given access to a self-administered questionnaire by means of mailing lists, social networks, and posters between May and July 2022.

Results
Findings indicate that the wide majority of the 317 responders agreed or somewhat agreed that the website made discussions about mental health easier with professionals (n=264, 83.3%) or with their relatives (n=260, 82.1%). According to the ANOVA, there was a significant effect between educational level and perceived trust (F6=3.03; P=.007) and between frequency of use and perceived usefulness (F2=4.85; P=.008).

Conclusions
The study underlines the importance of user experience and design in web-based health information dissemination and emphasizes the need for accessible and evidence-based information. Although the study has limitations, it provides preliminary support for the acceptability and usefulness of the website. Future efforts should focus on inclusive co-construction with users and addressing the information needs of families from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds.

Authors: Mugaanyi Joseph , Cai Liuying , Cheng Sumei , Lu Caide , Huang Jing 
Published: March 2024

Background
Large language models (LLMs) have gained prominence since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022.

Objective
The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of citations and references generated by ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) in two distinct academic domains: the natural sciences and humanities.

Methods
Two researchers independently prompted ChatGPT to write an introduction section for a manuscript and include citations; they then evaluated the accuracy of the citations and Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). Results were compared between the two disciplines.

Results
Ten topics were included, including 5 in the natural sciences and 5 in the humanities. A total of 102 citations were generated, with 55 in the natural sciences and 47 in the humanities. Among these, 40 citations (72.7%) in the natural sciences and 36 citations (76.6%) in the humanities were confirmed to exist (P=.42). There were significant disparities found in DOI presence in the natural sciences (39/55, 70.9%) and the humanities (18/47, 38.3%), along with significant differences in accuracy between the two disciplines (18/55, 32.7% vs 4/47, 8.5%). DOI hallucination was more prevalent in the humanities (42/55, 89.4%). The Levenshtein distance was significantly higher in the humanities than in the natural sciences, reflecting the lower DOI accuracy.

Conclusions
ChatGPT’s performance in generating citations and references varies across disciplines. Differences in DOI standards and disciplinary nuances contribute to performance variations. Researchers should consider the strengths and limitations of artificial intelligence writing tools with respect to citation accuracy. The use of domain-specific models may enhance accuracy.
Encouragement Policies and Productivity Indicators for Colombian SMEs Using Data Envelopment Analysis and Malmquist Indexes
Authors: García Camacho Manuel Eduardo , Anido R. José Daniel 
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the performance of Colombian Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in recent years, along with the legal framework and central public policies governing and promoting this business segment. In addition, it sought to design, validate, and implement a dynamic system of productivity indicators to help these companies improve their efficiency and competitiveness in the short, medium, and long terms. MSMEs represent approximately 99% of the business sector in Colombia, accounting for nearly 80% of national employment.
Design/Methodology: In the initial descriptive–analytical phase, using secondary sources, an analysis was conducted on the performance and current situation of Colombian MSMEs, as well as the main legal provisions regulating and contributing to their development. The subsequent phase (of an applied nature) involved estimating and validating a dynamic system of productivity indicators using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist indexes for 2 samples of SMEs.
Findings: After conducting the DEA, a significant decrease was observed in the productivity of the MSMEs, particularly in terms of technical efficiency in both the Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) models. This means that, evaluated both under the CRS and VRS modes, these enterprises use more inputs than necessary for the amount of goods produced. In addition, the Malmquist indexes showed that, during the period under analysis, technical efficiency related to changes in innovation exhibited a positive behavior, attributed to the incorporation of technological changes for improving their productivity.
Conclusions: Despite the development of public initiatives and institutional support in recent decades, Colombian SMEs still face adverse conditions that affect their competitiveness and limit their potential in the national economy. The proposed system of indicators, which is based on DEA techniques and Malmquist indexes, holds promise in helping these businesses to improve their productivity.
Originality: This study makes a significant contribution to the fields of economics and business management in the region by providing a critical and updated evaluation of the efficiency of MSMEs in Colombia. Additionally, it examines their performance and current situation and summarizes the main legal provisions regulating and contributing to their development in the country.
Manufacturing and Fraud: Evidence from Price Competition and Lean Inventories
Authors: Du Pon Adam W. , Hairston Stephanie , Smith Dallin O. 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
We examine fraud from an industry competition perspective, oriented from inventory theory. We find that fraud occurs among manufacturers more than nonmanufacturers and that the association between price competition and fraud is significantly more pronounced in the manufacturing sector. Aggregating inventory and cash flow patterns to the industry level, we report that industry inventory imbalance rates, from either excessive stockpiling or inventory leanness, associate with increased future price competition, which subsequently associates with more fraud. However, for manufacturers, the industry-wide prevalence of either excess or leanness amplifies future price competition, which is observed as a U-shaped association that ultimately ties to more fraud. These effects are stronger when extreme leanness is the manufacturing industry’s standard. We also provide evidence that the association between price competition and fraud is comparable to managerial incentives’ association with fraud. Together, our findings contribute to the literature on price competition, inventory management, and corporate misconduct.

American media, Scandinavian audiences: Contextual fragmentation and polarisation among Swedes and Norwegians engaging with American politics
Authors: Robinson Jessica Yarin 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This article explores the contextual nature of fragmentation and polarisation – subjects that have attracted significant concern in the age of social media. I investigate the media sharing practices of Scandinavian Twitter users discussing the 2020 American presidential election, an event that attracted international attention. Using links in tweets, I map the media networks of users in Sweden and Norway in their national languages and in English. This intranational approach provides a view into whether fragmentation and polarisation are characteristic of the audience or the media milieu. The findings show Scandinavian users exhibit low audience polarisation within their national languages, but they display polarisation similar to American users when engaging with English-language media. At the same time, media fragmentation is higher in the Norwegian language than in any other sphere. This article sheds light on the relationship between the sometimes-conflated concepts of fragmentation and polarisation and provides a discussion of the implications of political information sharing on transnational digital platforms.

Abstract

Introduction
Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). The development of sepsis is significantly influenced by genetic predisposition. In this study, we highlight a potential association between a variant of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene and risk of sepsis in children and adolescents.

Methods
We investigated a first-intron tagging FTO polymorphism (rs17817449) by comparing a severe condition (SC) group, comprising 598 paediatric patients (ages 0–19 years) admitted to an ICU with fever, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, severe sepsis, septic shock, or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), with a control group consisting of 616 healthy young adults.

Results
We observed a lower prevalence (p < 0.01; OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.39–0.87) of the FTO TT genotype in febrile and SIRS patients compared to patients with severe illness. There was a borderline trend towards a lower prevalence of the FTO TT genotype in the control group compared to the SC group (p < 0.09, OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.62–1.06).

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that rs17817449, a common FTO polymorphism, may be a predictor of sepsis in paediatric patients, and that higher body weight is protective against this clinical complication.
