The Future of AI-Driven Personalization in Digital Banking User Experience

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

AI-driven personalization is changing how people use digital banking. Instead of everyone seeing the same screens and options, banks can now provide each person with a more personalized and helpful experience. With the help of smart computer programs, banks can understand what you need and offer suggestions or advice right when you need it. This research looks at how AI helps people make better money decisions by giving them the right products, noticing their habits, and offering useful tips. It also discusses some challenges banks face, such as protecting customer information, ensuring AI is fair, and updating outdated systems. In the end, the study says that banks using AI to personalize their services will stand out and lead the way in the future.
A School within a School of War: Workers Making, Learning and Teaching about History

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract In June 1988 hotel-workers in Cape Town were amongst many dismissed in the then biggest stay-away against planned anti-union attacks. For months they met daily, organising their struggle for reinstatement: the site of an ongoing collective process of radical worker education for liberation. Workers shared this through a process of documentation and solidarity celebrating their collective agency, reflecting on past, making current, and envisioning future history. A different capitalist market-driven education for competitiveness now dominates postapartheid South Africa. A reflection written in 1994 illuminates the denigration of working class collectivism, successfully resisted by the dismissed workers but even then developing.
Diameter Dependence of Transport through Nuclear Pore Complex Mimics Studied Using Optical Nanopores

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) regulates the selective transport of large biomolecules through the nuclear envelope. As a model system for nuclear transport, we construct NPC mimics by functionalizing the pore walls of freestanding palladium zero-mode waveguides with the FG-nucleoporin Nsp1. This approach enables the measurement of single-molecule translocations through individual pores using optical detection. We probe the selectivity of Nsp1-coated pores by quantitatively comparing the translocation rates of the nuclear transport receptor Kap95 to the inert probe BSA over a wide range of pore sizes from 35 nm to 160 nm. Pores below 55 ± 5 nm show significant selectivity that gradually decreases for larger pores. This finding is corroborated by coarse-grained molecular-dynamics simulations of the Nsp1 mesh within the pore, which suggest that leakage of BSA occurs by diffusion through transient openings within the dynamic mesh. Furthermore, we experimentally observe a modulation of the BSA permeation when varying the concentration of Kap95. The results demonstrate the potential of single-molecule fluorescence measurements on biomimetic NPCs to elucidate the principles of nuclear transport.
Objective evaluation of improved image quality with application of novel noise reduction filter in dynamic myocardial CT perfusion

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Dynamic myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) is a non-invasive imaging technique able to depict cardiac ischemia. It is expected that the application of a new dynamic perfusion image noise reducing filter, the similarity filter (4DSF) would improve the image quality of CTP, resulting in clear visualization of perfusion deficits and hypo-perfused tissue and allowing for a substantial reduction in the radiation dose in dynamic myocardial CTP. Purpose To evaluate image quality before and after the application of a novel noise reducing filter on dynamic myocardial CT perfusion images reconstructed with deep learning-based algorithm. Methods The image datasets of patients with stable chest pain at intermediate risk of cardiovascular disease, who underwent stress dynamic CTP scanning as clinically indicated were retrospectively collected. The images were acquired with a 320-slice CT system, reconstructed using a deep learning-based algorithm (8 mm slice thickness) and filtered with the 4DSF. For each case, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in six regions-of-interest (ROIs, 33-38 mm2) were computed, before and after filtering. The signal ROIs were located midventricular, in both four-chamber and short-axis views in the left ventricle blood pool, and the background ROIs in the cardiac septum and lateral wall. Differences in the SNR and CNR values were compared using paired t-tests. Results As a part of an ongoing study, twenty five cases were analysed to date. The following results (means for AiCE and AiCE + 4DSF, and corresponding p-values) were obtained in short axis view: septum SNR: 3.46 vs 6.25 (p = 0.007), lateral wall SNR: 3.66 vs 6.52 (p = 0.000), septum CNR: 13.35 vs 23.85 (p = 0.005), lateral wall CNR: 13.16 vs 23.57 (p = 0.010); and in four-chamber view: septum SNR: 3.67 vs 7.44 (p = 0.003), lateral wall SNR: 3.97 vs 7.65 (p = 0.001) and septum CNR: 13.92 vs 29.97 (p = 0.016), lateral wall CNR: 13.63 vs 29.75 (p = 0.018). All results are statistically significant. Conclusions We confirmed that the similarity filter decreases noise and therefore improves the objective image quality in both short axis and four chamber views. Therefore, the improved tissue texture depiction and improved visualization of perfusion defects may facilitate detection of ischemia and lead to reduction in radiation dose necessary for dynamic CTP, maintaining image quality.

Fascism, populism and the French Fifth Republic: in the shadow of democracy

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

How can a nation associated with the Declaration of the Rights of Man serve as the context for a successful populist party of the far right? This book brings to the fore the reasons behind this apparent paradox. Using the tools of comparative politics to examine the ideological components of the French Front National (FN) and the manner in which these have interacted with contemporary French institutions, the author argues that Fifth Republican France offers an ideal set of opportunities for Jean Marie Le Pen's party. Fieschi shows how, since 1958, French institutions have provided the FN with numerous ways in which to permeate French politics as well as how the FN and Jean Marie Le Pen in particular organised the party's strategy in order to best respond to the opportunities offered. The book will be essential reading for students of European and French politics, contemporary French history and those studying right-wing political ideology and comparative politics.
Models for predicting the risk of illness in leprosy contacts in Brazil: Leprosy prediction models in Brazilian contacts

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objective This study aims to develop and validate predictive models that assess the risk of leprosy development among contacts, contributing to an enhanced understanding of disease occurrence in this population. Methods A cohort of 600 contacts of people with leprosy treated at the National Reference Center for Leprosy and Health Dermatology at the Federal University of Uberlândia (CREDESH/HC‐UFU) was followed up between 2002 and 2022. The database was divided into two parts: two‐third to construct the disease risk score and one‐third to validate this score. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to construct the disease score. Results Of the four models constructed, model 3, which included the variables anti‐phenolic glycolipid I immunoglobulin M positive, absence of Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin vaccine scar and age ≥60 years, was considered the best for identifying a higher risk of illness, with a specificity of 89.2%, a positive predictive value of 60% and an accuracy of 78%. Conclusions Risk prediction models can contribute to the management of leprosy contacts and the systematisation of contact surveillance protocols.
15. Lymphocystis virus disease

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Lymphocystis is a chronic self-limiting disease that affects a number of teleost species throughout the world. Although LCD is frequently benign, it may be responsible for significant economic losses related to poor growth rate, nonmarketability of fish with lesions, and secondary bacterial infections of skin lesions resulting from the phenomenon of cannibalism. The economic impact of the disease is greater the higher the commercial value of the affected species and its importance in aquaculture production. In this respect, gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) suffer significant economic losses from lymphocystis in Europe and Asia aquaculture, respectively.
Mushrooms Collected from Deogyu Mountain, Muju, Korea and Their Antioxidant Activity

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Mushrooms collected from Deogyu mountain, Korea, in 2011, were identified as four classes, four orders, 13 families, 22 genera, and 33 species. In particular, agaricales was most abundant and comprised more than 70%. Their antioxidant activities were estimated using three different bioassay methods, the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) radical scavenging assay, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, and reducing power assay. As a result, the methanol extracts of Stereum ostrea, Laetiporus sulphureus var. miniatus, and Tyromyces sambuceus exhibited potent antioxidant activity in all bioassays tested.
Serologic properties of lipopolysaccharide endotoxins from oral fusobacteria

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

abstract – Phenol‐water extracted lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from four strains of fusobacteria were studied by hemagglutination and precipitation techniques. The results indicate that LPS from fusobacteria are serologically type specific. LPS from any one bacterial strain may contain more than one determinant group, carried by the same molecular complex. The determinant groups are of carbohydrate nature. Hemagglutination inhibition studies with mono‐ and disaccharides supported this concept and gave information on the chemical composition of one of four determinant groups detected in the four strains examined. Serologic activity of the protein component of LPS preparations could not be demonstrated.
Prolonged induction of p21Cip1/WAF1/CDK2/PCNA complex by epidermal growth factor receptor activation mediates ligand-induced A431 cell growth inhibition

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Proliferation of some cultured human tumor cell lines bearing high numbers of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors is paradoxically inhibited by EGF in nanomolar concentrations. In the present study, we have investigated the biochemical mechanism of growth inhibition in A431 human squamous carcinoma cells exposed to exogenous EGF. In parallel, we studied a selected subpopulation, A431-F, which is resistant to EGF-mediated growth inhibition. We observed a marked reduction in cyclin-dependent kinase-2 (CDK2) activity when A431 and A431-F cells were cultured with 20 nM EGF for 4 h. After further continuous exposure of A431 cells to EGF, the CDK2 activity remained at a low level and was accompanied by persistent G1 arrest. In contrast, the early reduced CDK2 activity and G1 accumulation in A431-F cells was only transient. We found that, at early time points (4-8 h), EGF induces p21Cip1/WAF1 mRNA and protein expression in both EGF-sensitive A431 cells and EGF-resistant A431-F cells. But only in A431 cells, was p21Cip1/WAF1 expression sustained at a significantly increased level for up to 5 d after addition of EGF. Induction of p21Cip1/WAF1 by EGF could be inhibited by a specific EGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, tyrphostin AG1478, suggesting that p21Cip1/WAF1 induction was a consequence of receptor tyrosine kinase activation by EGF. We also demonstrated that the increased p21Cip1/WAF1 was associated with both CDK2 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Taken together, our results demonstrate that p21Cip1/WAF1 is an important mediator of EGF-induced G1 arrest and growth inhibition in A431 cells.
A peptide mimetic of tyrosine phosphatase STEP as a potential therapeutic agent for treatment of cerebral ischemic stroke

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Extensive research over the last two decades has advanced our understanding of the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. However, current pharmacologic therapies are still limited to rapid reperfusion using thrombolytic agents, and neuroprotective approaches that can reduce the consequences of ischemic and reperfusion injury, are still not available. To bridge this gap, we have evaluated the long-term efficacy and therapeutic time window of a novel peptide-based neuroprotectant TAT-STEP, derived from the brain-enriched and neuron-specific tyrosine phosphatase STEP. Using a rat model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (90 min), we show that a single intravenous administration of the peptide at the onset of reperfusion (early) or 6 h after the onset of the insult (delayed) reduces mortality rate. In the surviving rats, MRI scans of the brain at days 1, 14 and 28 after the insult show significant reduction in infarct size and improvement of structural integrity within the infarcted area following peptide treatment, regardless of the time of administration. Behavioral assessments show significant improvement in normal gait, motor coordination, sensory motor function and spatial memory following early or delayed peptide treatment. The study establishes for the first time the therapeutic potential of a tyrosine phosphatase in ischemic brain injury.
Computing GPS satellite velocity and acceleration from the broadcast navigation message

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We present an extension to the Global Positioning System (GPS) broadcast navigation message user equations for computing GPS space vehicle (SV) velocity and acceleration. Although similar extensions have been published, the extension presented herein includes a distinct kinematic method for computing SV acceleration, which significantly reduces the complexity of the equations and improves the mean magnitude results by approximately one order of magnitude by including oblate Earth perturbation effects. Additionally, detailed analyses and validation results using multiple days of precise ephemeris data and multiple broadcast navigation messages are presented. Improvements in the equations for computing SV position are also included, removing ambiguity and redundancy in the existing user equations. The recommended changes make the user equations more complete and more suitable for implementation in a wide variety of programming languages employed by GPS users. Furthermore, relativistic SV clock error rate computation is enabled by the recommended equations. A complete, stand-alone table of the equations in the format and notation of the GPS interface specification is provided, along with benchmark test cases to simplify implementation and verification.

Coordinated NADPH oxidase/hydrogen peroxide functions regulate cutaneous sensory axon de- and regeneration

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Tissue wounding induces cutaneous sensory axon regeneration via hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) that is produced by the epithelial NADPH oxidase, Duox1. Sciatic nerve injury instead induces axon regeneration through neuronal uptake of the NADPH oxidase, Nox2, from macrophages. We therefore reasoned that the tissue environment in which axons are damaged stimulates distinct regenerative mechanisms. Here, we show that cutaneous axon regeneration induced by tissue wounding depends on both neuronal and keratinocyte-specific mechanisms involving H 2 O 2 signaling. Genetic depletion of H 2 O 2 in sensory neurons abolishes axon regeneration, whereas keratinocyte-specific H 2 O 2 depletion promotes axonal repulsion, a phenotype mirrored in duox1 mutants. Intriguingly, cyba mutants, deficient in the essential Nox subunit, p22Phox, retain limited axon regenerative capacity but display delayed Wallerian degeneration and axonal fusion, observed so far only in invertebrates. We further show that keratinocyte-specific oxidation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) at a conserved cysteine thiol (C797) serves as an attractive cue for regenerating axons, leading to EGFR-dependent localized epidermal matrix remodeling via the matrix-metalloproteinase, MMP-13. Therefore, wound-induced cutaneous axon de- and regeneration depend on the coordinated functions of NADPH oxidases mediating distinct processes following injury.
Disparities in healthcare, STI testing, and PrEP access among newcomer sexual minority men in Canada's three largest urban centers

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) are more likely to be diagnosed with HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) compared with the general population. Although newcomers generally experience a health advantage in Canada compared with non‐immigrants and more established immigrants (i.e., healthy immigrant effect), they also experience disparities in access to healthcare services. These disparities, in turn, may lead to unique vulnerabilities for the sexual health of GBM immigrants. We examined disparities in healthcare access, STI testing, and HIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among immigrant and non‐immigrant GBM. Using baseline data (collected between February 2017 and August 2019) from a multisite cohort study of GBM in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal ( n = 2449), we found that newcomer GBM (migrated ≤ 5 years prior) were less likely to report having a primary healthcare provider than non‐immigrants. This had a weak indirect effect in mediating both access to STI testing and the use of HIV PrEP. These disparities dissipated after controlling for migration precarity (e.g., refugees and those without permanent residency), suggesting that disparities in newcomer GBM healthcare access may, in part, be driven by the large number of newcomers with precarious migration statuses. Public Significance Statement : New immigrants tend to be less likely to have a primary healthcare provider or use other sexual health clinics, which can have adverse consequences for sexual health. This disparity appears to be largely concentrated among temporary foreign workers, international students, and refugees. Interventions should target policies that increase the number of primary healthcare providers, and address immigration policies that lead to fear of deportation due to one's health.
Supporting Father Involvement Project : from research to action : a project based upon an investigation at University of California, Berkeley, Yale University Child Study Center and Smith College School for Social Work

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study was undertaken to determine the most effective dissemination strategies used by the Supporting Father Involvement's (SFI) Project Directors to encourage Partner Agencies to adopt father friendliness and the SFI curriculum into their family resource centers (FRC) in five pilot California counties. This qualitative study aims to inform SFI's investigators about what works in dissemination approaches for a social service intervention, and what hinders those efforts. Sponsored by the California Office for Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP), the Supporting Father Involvement Project (SFI) is the first randomized clinical trial demonstrating that strengthening the couple as parents and partners benefits the children as well. The SFI study has been underway for five years in five counties, and plans are in place to disseminate the program throughout the state of California. Five Project Directors have implemented SFI into their FRCs and were asked to identify and disseminate the program to one or two additional FRCs in their counties. While participants were candid in their responses to these interviews, the primary finding of this study is that while Project Directors were able to successfully infuse Partner Agencies with father friendliness, they were not successful at installing the SFI curriculum into the Partners' FRCs. Suggestions for alternate ways to consider dissemination of SFI are offered here that may assist investigators in their future efforts to disseminate this important program.

No ‘Brave Irishman’ Need Apply: Thomas Sheridan, Shakespeare and the Smock-Alley Theatre

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In its title this essay incorporates the name of Thomas Sheridan's only original work for the stage, a farce called The Brave Irishman, which was first performed at Dublin's Smock-Alley Theatre on 4 February 1743 under the name 'Captain O'Blunder'.1 The plot is briefly this: O'Blunder is invited to London by Lucy Treadwell's merchant father as a possible suitor for his daughter. Once in London, O'Blunder is ridiculed by 'fashionable' people, who find both his speech and dress unusual. O'Blunder spends much of the play trying to outwit his rivals, Cheatwell and Mr Ragou. When Mr Treadwell is found to be bankrupt, O'Blunder proves his superior character in offering to marry Lucy despite her poverty.
Pediatric Portal Hypertension: Etiology and Management

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Portal hypertension is a known cause of morbidity and mortality in children. With a paucity of data and no standardized algorithm for treatment, a comprehensive understanding of this disease process is necessary for pediatric interventional radiologists, hepatologists, and surgeons who collaborate to care for these patients. While associations can be drawn to adult disease, the specifics of pediatric portal hypertension necessitate a separate, multidisciplinary approach. This review provides a summary and update on the evaluation, management, and treatment of pediatric portal hypertension.
