CONSTRUCTING FINANCIAL FRAUD DETECTION MODEL USING MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUE: THE CASE OF WEDERA FARMERS MULTIPURPOSE COOPERATIVE UNION
Creators: name: YILMA, GOSHIME
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: In Ethiopia there are a number of business organizations which are hostile with fraudulent financial activities.This is why in most of business organization t here is lack of automatic system which assists in the detection of such activity. This study tried to predict fraudulent financial activity of wedera farmers' multipurpose cooperative union using data mining techniques and finally build validated prototype for convenient use.For this study out of 7500 financial datasets 5222 financial records were selected to build the predictive model using design science research methodology integrated with data mining process model. The study used two data mining algorithms, such as J48 decision tree from tree classifiers and artificial neural network (multilayer perception)from function classifiers and registered best accuracy with J48 algorithm. Since J48 algorithm registered the highest accuracy, it is chosen to integrate weka with java and develop validated prototype system. To do this weka.jar library plays a great role for weka to java connectivity. The financial item "credit of cash" score was found as the most determinant attribute in the union transaction as well as for the financial fraud detection and prevention. In this case, the financial status is fraud if credit of cash is greater than 0.707107 otherwise the rule checks other financial items in order to know whether the financial status is nonfraud or fraud.This result was found since credit of cash serves as the base for a given financial activity. The prototype has achieved 85% system accuracy and 78% accuracy in the case of user acceptance test;but,the major challenge observed in this study is that the natures of the datasets are so difficult to train the model;because,in Accounting and finance rule if a number of attributes exist on a given instance once a time the financial dataset only touch two or three attribute value and the rest left null. So to solve such challenge the study used MATLAB programing language in order to fill null value. Finally even if the prototype scored a capable result, further study is needed by adding additional financial attributes and algorithms in order to enhance and yield a better system performance.

description: The Grand Banks commercial fishing industry has been faced with several crises in the past decades. These crises have included the major financial crunch and inflation of the late 1970s and early 1980s, as well as the resources collapse of the Northern cod stock and other groundfish stocks in the 1990s followed by the foreign fishing disputes of the mid 1990s. The thesis examines the evolution of the fishing industry in Atlantic Canada during these critical years with focus on the fisheries of the Grand Banks. A linear programming model of the configuration of the Grand Banks commercial fishing fleet is formulated to describe the post 2000 period. The model is driven using the results of an extensive analysis of historical records for this recent period. The model results are validated by comparing them with historical average annual data over the period 2000-2005. The linear programming model is run under several scenarios emulating changes in government policy and economic conditions affecting the harvesting sector. Based on the results, alternative fishing fleet configurations for the Grand Banks fishery are defined to improve the economic viability of the fishing fleet. The model pointed to changes in fleet configuration including a rationalization of the shrimp and crab fleets and a shift to longline vessels with higher-valued product for groundfish harvesting. Once implemented, these suggestions would advance the goals of the new "Oceans to Plate" approach to fisheries management recently announced by Fisheries and Oceans, Canada.

Induction of pollen sterility in grapes (Vitis vinifera)
Creators: name: Iyer, C. P. A.
name: Randhawa, G. S.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2017

description: The morphology of the grape flower renders hand emasculation very tedious and hence hinders large scale hybridisation work. Chemical induction of male sterility which has been successfully achieved in some crops may likewise aid in grape breeding, if the method proves practicable. This paper deals with an experiment designed to achieve this object. Three varieties of grapes, Bhokri, Hussaini and Rosem-T-Lahore (all belonging to Vitis vinifera) were tested with three different chemicals, viz. maleic hydrazide, tri-iodobenzoic acid and FW-450, using various concentrations. In the first two varieties the dosages of maleic hydrazide 500 ppm, tri-iodobenzoic acid 400 ppm and FW-450 0.30% was found to induce complete pollen sterility. However, the third variety needed higher concentrations. In all cases two applications of the chemicals were necessary to induce comp1ete pollen sterility. In addition to inducing pollen sterility, FW-450 prevented anthesis and anther dehiscence. Considering the fruit set and seed set obtained in the male sterile flowers (induced by various chemicals) rby using good pollen, maleic hydrazide appears to be most promising. The chemical treatments did not influence seed germination. The most important factors with regard to the use of this method were (1) the variety used, (2) the chemical applied, (3) the number of applications of the chemical and (4) the stage at which the chemical treatments are made. The implications of these results have been discussed.

description: • Studies were made on the absorption and translocation patterns of nonradioactive gibberellin and carbon-14-gibberellin. • When the mature leaves of young shoots of Zinfandel or the stem and the leaf axils were sprayed with nonradioactive compound at 10 ppm about equal stimulation of shoot growth resulted. Much response to gihberellin was obtained when the first leaf above the first mature leaf was treated. Treatment of the internode below the first mature leaf gave results similar to that of treating the first mature leaf. Another experiment showed that the young internodes gave more response than older ones to gibberellin. • Studies with radioactive gibberellin showed that intact internodes and leaves were very poor avenues for entry of gibberellin. Movement was mainly to the actively growing shoot tip. Considerable movement through the buds occurred, and after the internode was scratched, much gibberellin entered the plant and moved upwards in the xylem. • Most carbon-14-gibberellin was absorbed and translocated when the base of the upper surface of the leaf was treatEd and least when the tip was treated. Treatment of the center of the leaf gave intermediate results. Less gibberellin was exported from V. riparia leaves than from the Riesling. Leaves about four-fifths full size and still light ,green afforded some penetration and resultant translocation, but little or no penetration occurred in the older leaves. In one experiment no visible movement of gibberellic acid out of the leaf occurred during the first day, and most movement was demonstrated after seven days.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Optical networking is a promising solution to support the ever increasing Internet traffic. This thesis aims to investigate the important issue of network protection after a failure occurs in the network. We propose a framework for measuring the performances of network protection algorithms for various protection metrics. The framework is designed to easily and quickly collect protection measures for an algorithm that can be effectively compared to the same protection measure of another algorithm. We then use this framework to compute and compare the performances of various network protection algorithms, mainly between algorithms that use p-cycles and ones that use protection trees. Different performance measures including restorability, sharability and change in data-path length are used. We use the framework on randomly generated mesh networks with varying topology parameters such as network size, network order, average nodal degree etc. We use the result to study the effect of the variation in different network parameters on the performances of the protection algorithms. Finally, commercial networks are used as specific application examples.
The effect of reducing leaf area on the growth of roots, stems and berries of Gordo grape-vines
Creators: name: Buttrose, M. S.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2017

description: To measure the effect of leaf number during berry growth on all organs of the grape vine (Vitis vinifera) a pot experiment was done using Muscat Gordo Blanco plants maintained in the open. Each plant was allowed to develop one fruitful shoot and 4 treatments (12 plants each) were applied following fruit set: (1) control (2) 6 leaves left (3) 3 leaves left (4) 1 leaf left. Leaves left (by tipping the shoot) were primary leaves at and above the first node above the bunch. When primary leaves senesced or were wind damaged a corresponding area of lateral-shoot leaf (125 cm2) was permitted to re>:main. Leaf area measurement of sample plants gave values of 2470 cm2, 850 cm2 , 470 cm2 and 125 cm2 respectively for the 4 treatments. On each shoot there was one bunch limited to 30 berries. Measurements of berry volume and sugar suggested that there was a diphasic growth curve and that wit h fall in leaf number there was a longer lag phase and a shorter second growth phase. Growth rate in the second phase was not greatly affected. Acids fell more slowly where leaf number was less, and the sugar: acid ratio was reduced. From final plant dry weights it was found that the trunk (parent stem) was least affected by leaf reduction, followed in order by shoot, berries and roots. Sugars and starch in trunk and shoot were affected in a way similar to berries. When needs of trunk, shoot and berries were fully met it appeared that cxcess leaf assimilate was channelled into root growth. The minimal leaf area for unimpeded growth of aerial organs was estimated to be 1500 cm2 (12 leaves), but in the field where bunches have more berries a greater leaf area would be required. The data has been interpreted to show that leaf efficiency in terms of carbon fixation, was markedly increased with reduction in leaf number.

Strengthening the Foundations of Power Line Communications: Physical Layer Methods to Enhance and Secure the Power Grid

description: Exploiting the physical properties of a transmission medium is an efficient way to provide security services and enhance the efficiency of communications. This paradigm does not require any cryptographic assumption, making it resistant to all known logical attacks while providing fine-graded information with sufficient entropy to sustain a wide range of applications. Wireless communication technologies typically take advantage of the channel’s symmetry in order to establish a vast ecosystem of solutions that utilize these methods. On the contrary, Power Line Communications (PLC) has received little attention in this context due largely to the complexities of adapting these techniques to the power line medium. These difficulties arise from several factors, most notably the lack of channel state information reciprocity—with the exception of the channel path delays—and the static nature of nodes in PLC systems.Given the challenges above described, this dissertation aims to address the existing gap with the objective of enhancing the communications and security of PLC. In particular, this dissertation covers two methods to enhance the channel probing, quantization, and reconciliation stages; and one security application that benefits from the preceding findings. The main technical contributions can be summarized in the following paragraph.The first two methods cited above provide striking results: for a channel noise power below 90 dBμV, we are able to achieve a path detection gain of more than 80% during channel probing and a bit mismatch rate that is at least three orders of magnitude lower than competing solutions during the quantization and reconciliation phases.Building on the above contributions, the proposed security application is able to identify changes in the network’s physical topology delivering a ≈ 100% detection rate for ranges below the 100 dBμV.

description: Die Verträglichkeit eines Hyibridenweines und eines Weines von europäischen Edelreben wurde bei Wistar-Ratten verglichen. Beide Weine wurden längere Zeit an gesunde und lebergeschädigte Tiere verabreicht. Als Kontrollösung diente ein Alkoholgemisch, das den Weinen entsprach. Bei 4monatiger Verabreichung an gesunde Ratten lösten hohe Weingaben eine Zunahme des Gesamt-Lipid-Gehaltes und eine Änderung der Feinstruktur der Leber aus. Die Entwicklung des Körpergewichtes war gehemmt. Bei Ratten mit experimenteller Leberverfettung verstärkten die Weine die Vorschädigung. In beiden Versuchsreihen fehlten sichere Hinweise auf einen Unterschied zwischen Hybriden- und Edelwein. Dagegen unterschied das Alkoholgemisch sich qualitativ und quantitativ in mehreren Prüfungskriterien von den Weinen.

User-guided feature sensitive hole filling for 3D meshes

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The 3D models obtained from the 3D scanners are often noisy and have flaws such as gaps, holes, self-intersecting polygons, etc. These defects make them undesirable for various applications. Thus many post processing techniques are needed to apply to improve the quality of the 3D models so that they can be usable in 3D applications. Hole-filling is an important task among them. Most hole filling approaches use techniques to fill up a hole and to smooth the surface without recovering fine features of the original 3D model. This thesis proposes a methodology which can fill holes in a 3D mesh and at the same time preserve sharp features of the geometry of the original model. The main idea is that we reconstruct possible feature curves in the missing parts of the given mesh before filling the hole with smoothing surface. The feature curves in the missing part are reconstructed by extending salient features of the existing parts. Then the hole is partitioned into several smaller and more planar sub-holes divided by the feature curves. By this way, the sub-holes make the hole filling process be more efficient and accurate. User intervention is needed to design fine features or to guide feature curve reconstruction wherever ambiguity exists or results are unsatisfactory. The ambiguity comes from multiple choices to build feature curves out of crest lines of the existing 3D mesh. Our hole filling techniques is different from other existing techniques as features are taken as the first subject to reconstruct, which eventually drive the feature-definite surface filling process.
Social tagging in the life sciences: characterizing a new metadata resource for bioinformatics

description: Background: Academic social tagging systems, such as Connotea and CiteULike, provide researchers with a means to organize personal collections of online references with keywords (tags) and to share these collections with others. One of the side-effects of the operation of these systems is the generation of large, publicly accessible metadata repositories describing the resources in the collections. In light of the well-known expansion of information in the life sciences and the need for metadata to enhance its value, these repositories present a potentially valuable new resource for application developers. Here we characterize the current contents of two scientifically relevant metadata repositories created through social tagging. This investigation helps to establish how such socially constructed metadata might be used as it stands currently and to suggest ways that new social tagging systems might be designed that would yield better aggregate products. Results: We assessed the metadata that users of CiteULike and Connotea associated with citations in PubMed with the following metrics: coverage of the document space, density of metadata (tags) per document, rates of inter-annotator agreement, and rates of agreement with MeSH indexing. CiteULike and Connotea were very similar on all of the measurements. In comparison to PubMed, document coverage and per-document metadata density were much lower for the social tagging systems. Inter-annotator agreement within the social tagging systems and the agreement between the aggregated social tagging metadata and MeSH indexing was low though the latter could be increased through voting. Conclusion: The most promising uses of metadata from current academic social tagging repositories will be those that find ways to utilize the novel relationships between users, tags, and documents exposed through these systems. For more traditional kinds of indexing-based applications (such as keyword-based search) to benefit substantially from socially generated metadata in the life sciences, more documents need to be tagged and more tags are needed for each document. These issues may be addressed both by finding ways to attract more users to current systems and by creating new user interfaces that encourage more collectively useful individual tagging behaviour.

subject: Spirituality.

description: This aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the experience of suicide bereavement and how coping and meaning making occurs. Additionally, the use of spirituality as a means of coping and making sense of suicide was studied. This is a new area that has been previously unexamined in suicide bereavement research. Using the methodology of transactional phenomenology, the experience of suicide bereavement was studied from the perspectives of those bereaved by suicide, mental health practitioners who work with the bereaved, and a cross-over group of survivors who were also practitioners. Results show that survivors and practitioners are in agreement on many aspects of coping and meaning making following suicide bereavement. However, there are also instances where these groups provided differing insights. Perspectives between groups are compared and several best practices when working with those bereaved by suicide are presented and discussed.

Identité, privation relative et désengagement: De l'effet des stéréotypes sur la base de l'âge

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: La population canadienne a beau vivre de plus en plus longtemps, notre société entretient des stéréotypes fondés sur l'âge qui, quoiqu'ils soient subtils, sont tenaces. Comme l'est la discrimination qui reflète cette conception négative du vieillissement et des ainés. Qu'est-ce qui conduit une personne vieillissante a reconnaître cette forme de discrimination et quelles en sont les conséquences? Comment y réagit-elle? Ces questions sont au coeur de la présente thèse. Pour y répondre, nous faisons appel aux théories de la privation relative et de l'identité sociale. Les recherches antérieures ont proposé que l'identité sociale est soit un précurseur de la privation relative collective, soit une conséquence de cette dernière. Dans une première étude, menée aupres de personnes nouvellement a la retraite (n = 149), nous proposons d'intégrer ces approches dans une seule et même séquence et, pour la première fois, de le faire au niveau personnel. Précisement, nous proposons de distinguer le rôle des différentes dimensions de l'identité en lien avec la privation relative personnelle. Nous évaluons ainsi l'hypothèse selon laquelle plus un retraite incorpore des caractéristiques associées aux travailleurs d'expérience, plus il est sensible aux disparités entre sa situation et celle d'un plus jeune travailleur. En outre, plus il est mécontent de ces disparités, plus son estime de soi en souffre. Les hypothèses du modèle de prédiction ont été confirmées. La deuxième étude permet d'évaluer de manière plus exhaustive ce lien entre identité et privation relative personnelles. Sur la base d'études antérieures (Crocker & Major, 1989; Crocker, Blaine & Luhtanen, 1993) selon lesquels ce ne sont pas toutes les personnes en situation de discrimination dont l'estime de soi est atteinte, nous explorons la pertinence du désengagement psychologique comme stratégie protectrice. Ce faisant, notre objectif est de déterminer le rôle de cette stratégie, à savoir, s'agit-il d'une stratégie modératrice ou médiatrice? Cette deuxième étude, menée auprès de travailleurs d'expérience (n = 114), s'inscrit donc dans la continuité des résultats de la première étude mais cette fois, en évaluant le rôle du désengagement psychologique. Les résultats permettent de préciser le rôle médiateur du désengagement psychologique et infirment son effet protecteur sur l'estime de soi. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: The purpose of this study was to identify candidate metastasis suppressor genes from a mouse allograft model of prostate cancer (NE-10). This allograft model originally developed metastases by twelve weeks after implantation in male athymic nude mice, but lost the ability to metastasize after a number of in vivo passages. We performed high resolution array comparative genomic hybridization on the metastasizing and non-metastasizing allografts to identify chromosome imbalances that differed between the two groups of tumors. Results: This analysis uncovered a deletion on chromosome 2 that differed between the metastasizing and non-metastasizing tumors. Bioinformatics filters were employed to mine this region of the genome for candidate metastasis suppressor genes. Of the 146 known genes that reside within the region of interest on mouse chromosome 2, four candidate metastasis suppressor genes (Slc27a2, Mall, Snrpb, and Rassf2) were identified. Quantitative expression analysis confirmed decreased expression of these genes in the metastasizing compared to non-metastasizing tumors. Conclusion: This study presents combined genomics and bioinformatics approaches for identifying potential metastasis suppressor genes. The genes identified here are candidates for further studies to determine their functional role in inhibiting metastases in the NE-10 allograft model and human prostate cancer.

description: Proper cell division site placement in the extensively studied rod Escherichia coli (Ec) is determined by the Min proteins. MinDEc recruits MinCEc to the membrane to inhibit cell division. MinEEc restricts MinCEc-MinDEc activity to cell pole regions by inducing MinDEc ATPase activity and causing it to dynamically oscillate from end-to-end in E. coli . The Dillon laboratory has identified min gene homologues in the coccus Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) which, unlike E. coli, divides along two dimensions. This study investigates the role and identifies functional domains of gonococcal MinD (MinDNg). MinD is implicated in Neisseria gonorrhoeae cell division. Inactivation of minDNg dramatically disrupted N. gonorrhoeae division patterns and reduced cell viability. Overexpression of MinDNg and MinCNg together in the gonococcus inhibited cell division, producing grossly enlarged cells. MinDNg could complement an E. coli minD mutant and induced cell division arrest in this organism, provided endogenous E. coli MinC was present. GFP-MinDNg fusions also displayed MinENg-dependent oscillations within a coiled array in rod-shaped and round mutant E. coli. The self-interaction of MinDNg, as well as MinDEc, was detected using yeast two-hybrid assays, the first report of such interactions. Furthermore, size-exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifugation showed purified MinDNg to be dimeric. MinDNg also interacted with both MinENg and MinC by yeast two-hybrid experiments. Structural and sequence alignments implicated a polar region, containing amino acids 92--94, in MinD dimerization. However, mutations to these residues did not eliminate interaction of MinDNg with itself, MinC, or MinE. Interestingly, this region may have a role in permitting bacterial MinD to respond to MinE stimulation, since mutant GFP-MinD fusions failed to oscillate from pole-to-pole in E. coli, despite being distributed uniformly within a coiled array. This was supported by in vitro assays, where MinENg was unable to stimulate the ATPase activity of mutated MinDNg. The conserved extreme N-terminus of MinDNg was also studied and shown to have a role in affecting MinDNg ATPase activity and localization dynamics. Successive truncation or mutation of this region affected MinDNg interaction with other Min proteins. Significantly, these alterations resulted in faster GFP-MinDNg oscillation cycles and increased tendencies to remain in the cytoplasm. Mutant MinDNg displaying this behaviour possessed hyper-ATPase activities independent of MinENg. This is the first study to characterize MinD from a naturally occurring coccus and demonstrates the protein acts as a cell division site determinant in N. gonorrhoeae and in E. coli. Results from this study were used to generate a model for N. gonorrhoeae cell division.

description: The strongest geomagnetic storm of solar cycle 25 (Dstmin < -412 nT) occurred from May 10 to15, 2024. Its source traces back to a solar event on May 8, 2024, when National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Active Region 13664 produced multiple solar flares and launched several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) directed toward Earth. Classified as a G4-G5 geomagnetic storm (Kp 8-9), it was the most intense storm of 21st century since the “Halloween” Storm of October 2003 (Dstmin < -383 nT). The resultant disturbances in the Earth's ionosphere-magnetosphere system, particularly variations in electron density, deteriorate radio wave propagation, potentially disrupting Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) operation and communication services. Such disruptions can compromise accuracy and induce positioning errors in GNSS-based high-quality methods, such as Precise Point Positioning (PPP), as previous studies on geomagnetic storms have indicated. This study evaluates the performance of GPS dual-frequency PPP (DF-PPP) under both quiet (Day of Year – DOY 002/2020) and severe (DOY 132/2024) ionospheric conditions. The analysis is based on GNSS data from 30 stations of the International GNSS Service (IGS) network, processed using RTKLIB software. The global root mean square error (RMSE) of GPS DF-PPP shows that performance degradation is most severe at high latitudes during May 2024 storm, with three-dimensional (3D) RMSE reaching 2.37 m, a significant increase from 0.40 m on the quiet day. In contrast, mid- and low-latitude stations experienced lesser impacts, achieving 3D RMSE of 1.69 m and 1.30 m, respectively, compared to 0.14 m and 0.17 m on the quiet day. The reduced GPS positioning performance during geomagnetic storms correlates strongly with intensified ionospheric irregularities, as conveyed by solar wind velocity (Vsw), Kp, and disturbance storm time (Dst) indices. These indices reflect heightened solar and geomagnetic activity, leading to greater fluctuations in electron density and, consequently, decreased accuracy. The impact is most pronounced at high latitudes on storm days, where ionospheric variability is driven by charged particles following the Earth’s magnetic field into the upper atmosphere at polar regions. On the other hand, PPP accuracy is compromised on quiet days, as low latitudes are affected by the enhanced equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) and scintillation phenomena. Mid-latitudes, however, experience relatively stable ionospheric conditions under settled circumstances, confirming their lower susceptibility to irregularities. Overall, the analysis underscores the varying effects of ionospheric disturbances on GPS positioning accuracy across different magnetic latitudes.

description: Opracowanie obejmuje analizę przepisów prawnych, które regulują ustrój, zadania i formy działania struktur kolegialnych wspierających organy jednostek samorządu terytorialnego, funkcjonujących w gminie, powiecie i województwie. W najnowszej literaturze brakuje publikacji, które w sposób całościowy odnosiłyby się do problematyki prawnej komisji w samorządzie terytorialnym. Częste nowelizacje ustaw samorządowych spowodowały znaczne poszerzenie katalogu takich struktur. Skutkuje to niejako pokrywaniem się właściwości poszczególnych komisji, a także zachodzeniem na siebie zakresów kompetencji organów oraz komisji. W rezultacie w obecnym stanie prawnym występuje szereg wątpliwości istotnych z punktu widzenia zarówno nauki, jak i praktyki prawa administracyjnego.Celem opracowania jest nie tylko przyjrzenie się tej problematyce z perspektywy akademickiej, ale również analiza zagadnień mających znaczenie dla praktyki samorządu terytorialnego. Z jednej strony obejmuje ono zatem kwestie omawiane podczas wykładów uniwersyteckich na kierunkach takich jak prawo i administracja, z drugiej natomiast porusza problemy, z którymi stykają się pracownicy samorządowi i radni, oferując im tym samym praktyczną pomoc.Książka przedstawia stan prawny na dzień 28 lipca 2020 roku.

description: Clara Wieck (1819-96) was a particularly successful nineteenth-century musician. Unlike many of her female contemporaries, and contrary to her social conditioning, she occupied space within the male dominated public sphere of music making, as both a performer and composer. Her participation in dichotomous social realms was unique, and affected the normalcy of her personal life and relationships. Accordingly, during their courtship, Clara Wieck and Robert Schumann (1810-56) were forced to communicate their love through a means that departed from the nineteenth-century norm---music. This thesis argues that many of their early piano works, spanning the decade of the 1830s, were written with some intention of correspondence or message to the other party. Three main conceptual frameworks are employed for musical analysis: firstly, the characteristics of sentiment, social context, mood, and gender as betrayed by genre; secondly, the overt relevance of musical quotation; and finally, the perceived relevance of titles and dedications. Wieck and Schumann's music and courtship is explored herein to determine the extra-musical communicative potential of music for solo piano.

description: This systematic review aimed to compile various research designs, including experimental, longitudinal, cross-sectional, and case studies in humans and experimental studies in rodents, to examine changes in Akkermansia muciniphila abundance in response to exercise. This comprehensive approach can improve our understanding of A. muciniphila response to physical exercise and highlight gaps in the literature, providing valuable insights for future microbiome research. Four databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Sports Discuss) were searched in the literature. Quality assessment was conducted independently and in duplicate using two risk-of-bias tools (Downs and Black for human studies and SYRCLE’s risk of bias for animal studies). 3,901 studies were identified, with thirteen human studies and nine animal studies included after screening. Of the thirteen human studies analysed, five (38.5%) were cross-sectional, seven (53.8%) were longitudinal/experimental, and one (7.7%) was a case study. These studies included 522 participants, among whom 157 were athletes, such as rugby players, marathon runners, triathletes, and skiers. Six studies reported an increase in A. muciniphila, five showed a decrease, and two found no significant differences. Regarding interventions, two studies used a combination of moderate-intensity strength and aerobic training, while seven used low to moderate-intensity aerobic exercises. In the nine rodent studies, eight (88.9%) were conducted on mice and one (11.1%) on rats, with all being experimental. These studies involved 310 animals. Eight studies reported a substantial increase in A. muciniphila, while one found no differences. Among these, eight employed moderate-intensity aerobic exercises as the intervention, and one utilised low-to-moderate-intensity strength training. The studies summarised in this review indicate that the impact of various physical exercise protocols on A. muciniphila abundance in humans remains controversial. However, rodent studies provide strong evidence that aerobic exercise increases A. muciniphila abundance in faecal pellets of both healthy and diseased models.
