Objective: This study aims to introduce a comprehensive machine learning framework, implemented in Python, that transcends conventional VAR model constraints by analyzing 13 key macroeconomic indicators across 217 countries (2010–2025). Method: Advanced clustering techniques (K-means) and ensemble learning (Random Forest), along with Principal Component Analysis (PCA), were applied to reveal hidden economic stratification patterns previously undetectable through traditional methods. Result: The analysis uncovers four distinct global economic clusters representing differentiated development trajectories, with middle-income economies comprising the majority of observations (57.4%). Fiscal indicators demonstrate exceptional forecasting accuracy through Random Forest algorithms, while growth dynamics remain inherently unpredictable, revealing fundamental asymmetries in economic system behaviors. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that machine learning techniques, implemented in Python, can systematically identify which macroeconomic relationships are structurally determined versus stochastically driven. This differential predictability framework provides immediate policy implications for targeted intervention strategies, enabling policymakers to focus resources on controllable fiscal mechanisms rather than pursuing futile attempts to predict volatile growth patterns.

Integrating embedding and topic modeling techniques has emerged as a key solution. Methods: This study conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines. A systematic search across IEEE, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases was performed to identify relevant studies, which were then screened and selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The analysis of 22 included studies revealed a clear methodological trend toward hybrid models that integrate transformer-based embeddings, such as BERT, with topic modeling frameworks. These integrated approaches consistently demonstrated superior performance in generating coherent topics and improving downstream task accuracy compared to standalone or traditional methods. However, limitations related to model generalizability, computational cost, and domain adaptation were identified. Conclusions: The integration of contextual embeddings with topic models is the most effective approach for short-text analysis on social media. Future research should focus on developing more adaptive and efficient models, including fine-tuning language models on domain-specific corpora and exploring the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance automation and accuracy.

Methods: A panel of 176 ASE-listed enterprises was studied from 2011 to 2021. Starting with a preliminary analysis of Beneish M-Score constituents and associated metrics, a supervised neural network (FNN) had been trained, and an ordinary least-squares (OLS) analysis was computed. The performance study was executed using reliability, recall, reliability, F1-score, and ROC-AUC. Results: The FNN achieved an accurate identification rate of 0.9844 with a recall of 1.0, indicating it accurately identified all fraudulent transactions in the experimental dataset. The ROC-AUC was 0.97. The OLS model, albeit less precise, demonstrated statistically significant correlations—particularly for GMI, SGAI, and LVGI—with the Beneish M-Score, thereby providing interpretable risk indicators. Conclusions: The study revealed that deep learning, namely a feedforward neural network (FNN), surpassed a traditional ordinary least squares (OLS) method in detecting fraud among ASE enterprises, whereas OLS offered contextual information about the factors associated with fraud. An integrated analytical framework was proposed to assist regulators and investors in achieving improved transparency and early warning in the Jordanian market.

Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional design was applied using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). A total of 256 civil servants from various Indonesian public institutions participated. Five hypotheses were tested to examine both direct and mediated relationships. Results: The findings revealed that both data communication competence (β = 0.123; p = 0.044) and data-driven critical thinking (β = 0.156; p = 0.006) significantly influenced perceived suitability. However, data-informed leadership did not have a significant direct effect (β = -0.061; p = 0.159). Mediation analysis showed that data-driven critical thinking significantly mediated the relationship between both communication competence and leadership with perceived suitability. Conclusions: The study highlights the pivotal role of cognitive competencies, particularly critical thinking, in influencing perceptions of data-based placement decisions. While leadership alone did not directly impact perceptions, its indirect role through critical thinking was substantial. These findings offer insights for refining leadership development and assessment practices within bureaucratic systems.

The objective is to address two major challenges: the high cost of inertial navigation systems (INS) and the lack of large, labeled datasets required for training neural networks. Our platform simulates all six inertial sensors, including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, using configurable error models that incorporate bias, scale factor, and stochastic noise. From user-defined reference trajectories, it generates raw inertial data and supports large-scale data augmentation by varying noise profiles, enabling the creation of diverse datasets without requiring physical hardware. Simulation results demonstrate high fidelity with real-world INS performance. The generated data yielded root mean square error (RMSE) values of 32.98 meters for low-cost INS, 8.99 meters for industrial-grade INS, and 1.07 meters for tactical-grade INS. In addition, the data augmentation mechanism allows dataset expansion by up to 10,000 times, significantly enhancing training robustness and helping to prevent overfitting in deep learning models. Our platform provides a flexible, low-cost, and reproducible solution for generating realistic inertial data. It facilitates the development and evaluation of machine learning algorithms for sensor fusion and secure navigation, making it particularly valuable for research in GPS-denied environments.

The analysis is rooted in the framework established by Reeve in his 1983 treatment of the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality and is driven by the problem of determining whether convolution maximizers can be characterized when the convolution kernels lie in Lorentz spaces situated between the strong and the weak classes. Methods: The investigation capitalizes on the prior results of G.V. Kalachev and S.Yu. Sadov by using functional analytic techniques and operator-theoretic tools. Methodological steps include the systematic examination of necessary and sufficient criteria for the existence of maximizers, the application of compactness arguments in the dual space framework, and the refinement of kernel properties through Lorentz space inequalities. Results: The analysis establishes the existence of maximizers for convolution operators when the kernel class is contained in a slightly smaller set than weak , yet encompasses the entirety of the relevant Lorentz spaces. The abstract analytic assumptions of Theorem 2.3 are converted into explicit measurable criteria in Theorem 2.4, demonstrating that kernels selected from the identified Lorentz spaces fulfill all requisite properties for the existence of convolution maximizers. Conclusions: The exposition achieves a systematic enlargement of convolution operator theory by admitting kernels that reside within Lorentz spaces, affording explicit existence theorems for maximizers. As a consequence, the work deepens the structural analysis of extremal functions within the harmonic analysis canon and simultaneously furnishes a robust framework for prospective inquiries regarding the deployment of Lorentz-space convolution in both pure and applied mathematics.

In this context, our objective is to establish whether the concentration of AI talent in finance is due to a simple global trend or to differentiated national choices. Empirically, we conduct an observational, comparative, and longitudinal study on 10 OECD countries monitored annually between 2016 and 2025 (N = 100 country-years). The dependent variable is the share of professionals trained in AI in finance (AI_pct, harmonized definition). The dynamics is captured by a linear time trend, supplemented for robustness by annual dummies; heterogeneity is modeled via a random effects GLS with country intercepts, clustered standard errors, and the Hausman test does not reject the RE option. On the data side, we mobilize a single, harmonized public source (OECD.AI) and anchor the analysis in 18 scientific references. The results indicate an average increase of approximately +0.2263 percentage points per year (significant), an overall average of 2.86%, and persistent gaps between countries (e.g., Israel ≈ 4.08% vs. the United States ≈ 2.27%), stable when the trend is replaced by time fixed effects. In sum, the rise in AI skills is general, but is part of national trajectories consistent with industrial strategy; hence implications for upskilling, data and model governance, and state-market coordination, subject to a limited scope and the absence of causal identification.

The 2024 East Java gubernatorial election presents a strategic opportunity given the high level of regional political dynamics and the use of social media as a platform for political discourse. This study aims to identify key issues in public conversations on social media platforms related to the election, map their thematic distribution, and illustrate the distribution of public opinion across each topic. The research method used topic modeling analysis based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Data was collected from 3,500 public posts relevant to the 2024 East Java gubernatorial election. The analysis process included text data cleaning, tokenization, removal of common words, and model development to obtain optimal topics. The results showed a model coherence value of 0.51, with three main topics: First, the implementation of regional head elections, including technical aspects, regional context, and the role of election organizers. Second, the security and smoothness of the election process, including voter management and trust in the results. Third, voter participation and the role of election organizers in ensuring legitimacy. The distribution of topics varies by region, influenced by local political backgrounds and previous election experiences. In conclusion, social media is a crucial arena for shaping public opinion and disseminating political issues. Digital data-based thematic analysis can help election organizers and policymakers design more effective public communications, increase participation, and strengthen public trust in elections at the regional level.

It seeks to explore how artificial intelligence can transform traditional knowledge into machine-readable cultural data structures while maintaining epistemological integrity and community participation. Methods: This research employed a hybrid qualitative-technical methodology. Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted with ikat artisans in East Sumba to gather narrative and visual data, including interviews, ritual transcripts, and photographs of woven fabrics. These data were analyzed using a combination of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision algorithms. NLP was used to extract recurring linguistic patterns and cosmological themes, while computer vision categorized visual motifs by type, symmetry, and symbolic meaning. Results:The AI-driven approach effectively captured the symbolic and narrative complexity of the ikat tradition. Computer vision techniques successfully identified and classified motif types and regional styles, linking them to spiritual meanings conveyed by the artisans. NLP analysis of transcribed interviews revealed consistent narrative patterns related to ancestral cosmology, customary law, and motif symbolism. Conclusion: This research demonstrates the viability of combining AI technologies with ethnographic fieldwork to create a robust, ethical, and culturally sensitive system for documenting living traditions. By translating the complexity of ikat knowledge into semantic data patterns, the study provides a model for intelligent cultural heritage documentation. The key contribution lies in bridging indigenous epistemologies with digital infrastructures, enabling scalable cultural preservation without compromising authenticity.

It highlights regional performance differences and the main financial drivers of profitability, focusing on macroeconomic shocks. The paper compares Arab and international bank performance and provides new profitability driver insights. It also shows that linear modelling is insufficient to describe ROE in Arab countries and that nonlinear modelling is needed. The discussion suggests ways policymakers and banks can boost profitability and financial resilience. Method: The paper uses “multiple linear regression (MLR)” with panel data from heterogeneous countries over several years. Interest income, capital adequacy, non-interest income, cost-to-income ratio, loan-to-deposit ratio, and non-performing loans are tested for their effect on ROA and ROE in the MLR specifications. Time and regional trends are tested to account for economic crises like the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC) and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Findings exhibit very high regional variation in bank profitability. African countries—e.g., Botswana, Ethiopia, and Malawi—ranked better than European and Asian counterparts on both ROA and ROE. Arab countries such as Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia exhibited high ROA, while Yemen, Egypt, and Djibouti showed high ROE. The research could not find a valid linear regression model for the ROE in the Arab nations, implying complex, non-linear dynamics. The major determinants of profitability are interest income, capital adequacy, non-interest income, and cost-to-income ratio. The macroeconomic shocks also tended to decrease profitability significantly by region.

Despite these advantages, their practical use remained hindered by poor interfacial adhesion and high moisture uptake, largely attributed to their hydrophilic nature and surface impurities. In this study, a dual chemical treatment using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) followed by potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) was applied to three types of woven sisal fabrics (plain, twill, and satin) to enhance fiber–matrix interaction and overall composite properties. Twenty-seven composite variants were produced and evaluated to investigate the influence of weave structure, treatment concentration, and immersion time on tensile strength and water absorption. To capture the intricate relationships between these variables, a fuzzy logic-based predictive model was developed. This model effectively forecasted material behavior, achieving low average absolute errors of 1.77% for tensile strength and 3.46% for water absorption, demonstrating its robustness and value as a tool for process optimization. This study contributed not only to the development of high-performance, bio-based textile composites, but also introduced an intelligent, cost-effective predictive framework capable of reducing experimental demands while guiding sustainable material development.

The GRDP growth rate, calculated as the percentage increase from the previous year, serves as a critical measure for evaluating economic progress. In the case of East Java, identifying the factors influencing GRDP growth is essential to support more effective and region-specific policy-making. This research aims to analyze those influencing factors using spatial regression methods. Methods: In this research, Geographically Weighted Regression and Mixed Geographically Weighted Regression methods are used to model the factors that influence the growth rate of GRDP in East Java. Results: Based on the results of the research that has been analyzed, it is known that the GWR model has an AICc score of 136,646, while the MGWR model has an AICc score of 134,3184, so it can be concluded that the MGWR method with a fixed gaussian kernel has better performance in modeling the factors that influence the GRDP growth rate in East Java. Conclusions: Globally, the General Allocation Fund and the Open Unemployment Rate significantly affect GRDP growth. Locally, the Percentage of Poor Population, Average Minimum Wage, Local Original Income, and Production Agglomeration show significant effects in specific areas. On the other hand, the Human Development Index and Population Density do not exhibit significant influence on GRDP growth, either globally or locally.

The method integrates the Rounding the Intensity and Dividing (RIFD) technique with Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) encoding to enhance compression efficiency while preserving high image quality. The RIFD stage reduces data redundancy through intensity quantization and scaling, while LZW applies efficient lossless dictionary-based encoding to the transformed data. Comprehensive experiments were conducted on four benchmark datasets EPFL, Kodak, Waterloo, and HQ-50K to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that RIFD-LZW consistently outperforms traditional RIFD, LZW, and standard compression algorithms including JPEG2000, JPEG-LS, and RIFD-Huffman. On average, RIFD-LZW achieved a compression efficiency of 7,51 Bits Per Pixel (BPP) for color datasets, representing a 49,93% improvement over RIFD and 62,49% over LZW. For grayscale images, RIFD-LZW attained an average BPP of 1,92, significantly outperforming RIFD (5,00) and LZW (4,74), with an improvement exceeding 59%. The RIFD-LZW algorithm delivers high visual quality despite being lossy, achieving average PSNR values 38,36 dB with minimal visible distortion. It effectively reduces file sizes while preserving acceptable image quality, making it well-suited for applications that require efficient compression with good visual retention.

It facilitates the administration and control of city resources, strengthens processes, and fosters greater citizen participation, efficiency, and transparency in their execution. This article proposes an IT management framework aligned with the smart city concept. The framework was organized into three levels of IT management: strategic, tactical, and operational, which corresponded to the city's maturity, intelligence, and technology, respectively. The model was based on best practices, international IT standards, and recognized theories. It was developed from the results of an instrument designed to quantify the indicators of two research variables: IT management and smart city, applied to the governing bodies of the city of Santa Marta, Colombia. The analysis of the responses allowed us to quantitatively and qualitatively describe the research variables and their interrelations. It also enabled us to identify strengths and weaknesses in order to make recommendations to improve the technological state and the development of services that increase the level of intelligence from the city of Santa Marta.

Despite the wide use of DPP-4 inhibitors, little is known of clinical and pharmacogenomics factors that specifically associated with DPP-4 inhibitor treatment response. Meanwhile, a genetics studies identify important factors involved in the progression of diabetes disease, and identify individuals at risk of developing T2DM. Purpose of present study is to assess the possible association of (rs3765467) polymorphism in the gene encoding GLP1R with serum level of GLP1 and glycemic response for the treatment with sitagliptin in combination with metformin in Iraqi diabetic patients. The results indicated that SNP (rs3765467) was not detected in our study population of 90 individuals. However, Sanger sequencing had successfully identified three SNPs for the study population, including rs3765466, rs910163& (rs910162), located within the same region of the target SNP, rs3765467, in the gene encoding GLP1R. Furthermore, these SNPs (rs3765466), (rs910163) & (rs910162) show no significant effect on the response to the treatment based on HbAIc level (patients with HbA1c of less than or equal to 7.0% are classified as clinical responders, while those with HbA1c greater than 7.0% are classified as non-responders), but these SNPs significantly affect the serum GLP1 level. Additionally, (rs910163) & (rs910162) genotypes were significantly associated with serum creatinine levels, suggesting a potential role of the (rs910163) & (rs910162) variant in renal function regulation.

The MARS estimator provides greater flexibility by allowing for nonlinearity and interactions among predictors, making it well-suited for modeling health-related risk factors. Parameter estimation in this study is conducted using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method. However, due to the non-linearity of the first derivative of the log-likelihood function, the Berndt-Hall-Hall-Hausman (BHHH) numerical iteration method is applied to obtain parameter estimates. The complexity of the likelihood function poses challenges in constructing the Hessian matrix, necessitating an approximation of the second derivative using the first derivative in the BHHH method. The analysis identifies Age, Body Mass Index (BMI), and Total Cholesterol as significant predictor variables influencing the risk of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Model evaluation is carried out using accuracy, the Area Under the Curve (AUC), and the Apparent Error Rate (APER). The results demonstrate an accuracy of 82.44%, indicating strong classification performance.

Educational outcomes must be understood because modern technological systems alongside community involvement need assessment during this COVID-19 era of digital learning tool dependency. Researchers investigate here how educational variables enhance student academic achievements under present-day digital learning models. Methods: A survey included 300 students across ten high schools throughout different Jordanian regions. The study relied on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling as its data analysis foundation through SmartPLS software implementation. A statistical analysis evaluated the link between 5G technologies, technological and environmental factors, and parental and community support which act as independent variables towards educational performance as the main dependent variable. Results: The study showed 5G technologies combined with both technological and environmental factors together with parental and community support have positive effects on educational performance measurement. The analysis through path coefficients and p-values showed that all variables lead to better student learning experiences with positive academic results. Specifically 5G technologies enabled interactive learning but additional student achievement came through digital resource access together with parental involvement. Conclusions: The study summarizes its findings by establishing that inserting 5G technologies together with improved environmental factors and enhanced technological factors plus support from parents and communities actually drives education success. Schools need to focus first on building strong digital infrastructure for learning purposes and secondly on building interconnections between parents and local communities to support student education. The evaluation of these elements' sustained influence on educational outcomes must occur through future investigations which should analyze both cultural diversity and geographical scope while examining how distinct intervention methods build these educational components globally.

While conventional biometrics systems such as DNA profiling and iris scanning offer high accuracy, they are time-consuming and costly. Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between fingerprint patterns and ABO blood group classification to explore potential correlations between these two traits. Methods: The study analyzed 200 individuals, categorizing their fingerprints into three types: loops, whorls, and arches. Blood group classification was also recorded. Statistical analysis, including chi-square and Pearson correlation tests, was used to assess associations between fingerprint patterns and blood groups. Results: Loops were the most common fingerprint pattern, while blood group O+ was the most prevalent among the participants. Statistical analysis revealed no significant correlation between fingerprint patterns and blood groups (p > 0.05), suggesting that these traits are independent. Conclusions: Although the study showed limited correlation between fingerprint patterns and ABO blood groups, it highlights the importance of future research using larger and more diverse populations, incorporating machine learning approaches, and integrating multiple biometric signals. This study contributes to forensic science by emphasizing the need for rigorous protocols and comprehensive investigations in personal identification.

Author-Name-Last: Almagharbeh Title: Revolutionizing Blood Banks: AI-Driven Fingerprint-Blood Group Correlation for Enhanced Safety Abstract: Identification of a person is central in forensic science, security, and healthcare. Methods such as iris scanning and genomic profiling are more accurate but expensive, time-consuming, and more difficult to implement. This study focuses on the relationship between the fingerprint patterns and the ABO blood group as a biometric identification tool. A total of 200 subjects were included in the study, and fingerprint types (loops, whorls, and arches) and blood groups were compared. Associations were evaluated with statistical tests, including chi-square and Pearson correlation. The study found that the loops were the most common fingerprint pattern and the O+ blood group was the most prevalent. Discussion: Even though there was some associative pattern, there was no statistically significant difference in the fingerprint patterns of different blood groups. Overall, the results indicate that blood group data do not significantly improve personal identification when used in conjunction with fingerprinting. Although the study shows weak correlation, it may emphasize the efforts of multi-modal based biometric systems in enhancing the current biometric systems. Future studies may focus on larger and more diverse samples, and possibly machine learning and additional biometrics to improve identification methods. This study addresses an element of the ever-changing nature of the fields of forensic science and biometric identification, highlighting the importance of resilient analytical methods for personal identification.

This study integrates synthetic and real-world climate datasets to develop predictive models. Specifically, we apply Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks alongside ARIMA and SARIMA models to forecast global temperature anomalies. Synthetic data were generated using a Gaussian-based data simulator calibrated on historical NOAA/IPCC data, contributing 30% of the training set. Validation included Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests to ensure distributional similarity to real data. Preprocessing involved interpolation for missing values and stationarity checks using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test (p < 0.05), with differencing of order one applied where necessary. LSTM model architecture included two hidden layers with 64 and 32 units, sequence length of 30 days, and a dropout rate of 0.2 to prevent overfitting. Model performance was evaluated using RMSE, MAE, and MAPE. LSTM achieved the lowest RMSE of 1.8 and MAPE of 6.3%, outperforming ARIMA (RMSE: 2.4, MAPE: 8.2%) and SARIMA (RMSE: 2.0, MAPE: 7.1%). Random Forest and SVR models yielded RMSEs of 2.2 and 2.3, respectively, and were included for benchmarking. A Monte Carlo simulation with 10,000 iterations and normal distribution assumptions estimated prediction uncertainty, aligned with IPCC emission scenarios. Scenario-based forecasting (A: status quo, B: 50% emissions cut, C: net-zero) was validated against past reductions post-Kyoto and Paris agreements. Forecasts indicate a potential 1.5°C rise in temperature by 2050 under Scenario A. Compared to baseline mean anomaly of 14.3°C, this reflects a significant trend.

The various sectors in Sragen regency, including agriculture, health, and the environment are affected by the high temperature of the earth's surface. The Sragen regency is geographically dominated by agricultural areas, which are very vulnerable to extreme earth surface temperatures. This has a direct effect on agricultural productivity and the availability of water for irrigation. This study examines the use of a semiparametric regression model with a Penalized Least Squares (PLS)-based Fourier Series estimator to analyze the relationship between earth surface temperature and relative humidity in Sragen regency. The combining parametric and nonparametric components, the model effectively addresses complex climate data patterns. A dataset of 100 observations was analyzed under three training data scenarios N = 70, N = 80, and N = 90, yielding optimal Fourier coefficients of 1, 1, 1 and lambda values of 0.035, 0.028, and 0.02. The resulting minimum Generalized Cross Validation (GCV) values of 0.3534871, 0.3711413, and 0.3918924. This model successfully made good predictions for testing data sizes of 30, 20, and 10, with MAPE values of 1.606545, 1.518221, and 1.018482. These results underscore the model's ability to capture the inverse relationship between earth surface temperature and relative humidity. The study highlights the Fourier-based semiparametric approach's effectiveness in dynamic scenarios and recommends applying it to other climate variables or regions to further evaluate its adaptability and robustness.

In this paper, the use of D-shaped optical fibers functionalized with Graphene Oxide is presented to detect the water content in transformer oil. The synthesis of graphene oxide was achieved by a modified version of Hummer's method. Subsequently, the drop-casting process was used to apply the graphene oxide onto the D-shaped fibre. The coating thickness attained in the samples was around 200 nm. Side polishing in a single-mode fiber engages an evanescent field that increases its sensitivity as an optical sensor. A few layers of graphene oxide coating on D-fiber exhibit a quick response time and high sensitivity to moisture content present in transformer oil, which proves to be a hopeful solution in real-time monitoring and maintenance of transformer insulation systems. It manifested that the experimental results had a high sensitivity to different water contents in transformer oil for the D-shaped fiber coated with GO. The GO-coated fibers exhibited a sensitivity of 0.5677 dB/ppm, which is relatively high compared with the sensitivity in the case of uncoated D-shaped fibers.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) leverage computer vision techniques for vehicle detection, improving safety and efficiency. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of vehicle detection methods in ITS. Traditional image-processing techniques, including Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), Viola-Jones (VJ), and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), are analyzed. Additionally, modern deep learning-based approaches are examined, distinguishing between two-stage methods such as R-CNN and Fast R-CNN, and one-stage methods like YOLO and SSD. Various image acquisition techniques, including Mono-vision, Stereo-vision, Thermal/Infrared Cameras, and Bird’s Eye View, are also reviewed. The analysis highlights the evolution from handcrafted feature-based methods to deep learning techniques, demonstrating significant improvements in detection accuracy and efficiency. One-stage detectors, particularly YOLO and SSD, offer real-time performance, while two-stage methods provide higher precision.

The research addresses two primary scenarios: objects moving along a conveyor belt and objects placed unordered in a common container. Methods: The sorting system utilizes computer vision algorithms that incorporate edge pixel extraction, cellular automata, and the Radon transform. Edge detection is achieved using the Prewitt operator to extract object contours. Cellular automata are employed to generate object backgrounds and define polygonal regions, improving shape recognition. The Radon transform is applied with a hexagonal image grid to produce six projections, aiding in noise reduction and accurate shape and orientation detection. Results: The combined use of six Radon projections and cellular automata enables the system to distinguish individual objects even when they are placed together in a single container. The approach effectively detects and sorts distorted or variably shaped objects with high precision, regardless of their arrangement—either random or orderly. Conclusions: The proposed computer vision-based sorting method is robust and versatile, capable of handling complex object configurations. It offers a reliable solution for sorting objects by shape, color, and brightness in diverse industrial or logistical settings.

Traditional methods are less than accurate and occur late. Following these deficits, this investigates the multi-modal data fusion and Deep Learning (DL) with the purpose of enhancing accuracy for diagnosis. A new DL model, Dynamic Dolphin Echolocation-tuned Effective Temporal Convolutional Networks (DDE-ETCN), is utilized for depression diagnosis. Different sources of data, such as physiological signals (EEG, heart rate), behavioral indicators (facial expressions), and biometric data (activity levels), are fused. Data preprocessing includes wavelet transformation and normalization of biometric and physiological data, and median filtering of behavioral data to provide smooth inputs. Feature extraction is performed through Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to obtain frequency-domain features of depression indicators. Feature-level fusion is a good fusion of all data sources, which improves the model's performance. The DDE tuning mechanism improves temporal convolution layers to improve the model's ability in detecting sequential changes. The proposed DDE-ETCN model highly improves depression diagnosis when it is developed in Python. The model attains an RMSE of 3.59 and an MAE of 3.09. It has 98.72% accuracy, 98.13% precision, 97.65% F1-score, and 97.81% recall, outperforming conventional diagnostic models and other deep learning-based diagnostic models. The outcomes show the efficiency of the model, rendering a more objective and accurate depression diagnosis. Its higher performance justifies its potential for practical use, providing enhanced accuracy and reliability compared to traditional approaches. This innovation emphasizes the necessity of incorporating deep learning for enhanced mental health evaluations.

The scope of the study includes seven major international datasets related to happiness, such as the World Happiness Report, OECD Better Life Index, and the IPSOS Global Happiness Index. Methodologically, literature review and data analysis were conducted, particularly employing Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) to visually analyze characteristics of happiness levels across different countries. The analysis revealed that national happiness rankings are influenced not only by economic performance but also by factors such as social trust, environmental sustainability, and subjective well-being. Applying the developed integrated happiness index to OECD countries, Korea ranked 35th out of 38 nations, highlighting the need for improvements in subjective happiness and environmental sustainability relative to economic performance. Specifically, Korea showed a significant discrepancy between GDP per capita and happiness index, suggesting that long working hours and low social connectedness negatively affect subjective well-being. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the need for a multidimensional approach that encompasses social and cultural factors beyond economic growth to enhance the effectiveness of happiness policies. It further recommends prioritizing policies focused on mental health support and strengthening social ties in Korea alongside continued economic growth.

It has found use in various contexts, including music streaming services and athletics. Athletic recommendation systems have received little study attention. Sedentary lifestyles are now the primary cause of many flaws and a significant portion of expenses. Based on user profiles, connections to other users, and histories in the current study, we create a system to suggest daily workout plans to athletes. The created recommendation system uses profiles of users and temporal processes in Adaptive Support Vector Machine (). Additionally, compared to streaming recommendation algorithms, we cannot gather input from athletes using the wearable IoT Devices and sensors for collecting the data of exercise and workout the system is proposed, which sets them apart significantly. As a result, we suggest an active learning process that involves an expert in real. The active learner estimates the recommendation system's level of uncertainty for every user at each successive step and, finally, when it is high, gets assistance from a professional.

In the first study, optimised weights through Adaptive School of Fish Optimisation are combined with 2D and 3D networks to introduce a Residual Network-50 model for deep learning-based 3D image reconstruction. On the ShapeNet dataset, this method demonstrates superior accuracy (0.993), F-score (0.734), and IoU (99.3%). Using Concurrent Excited DenseNet (CED)for feature extraction and Attention-Dense GRUs for prediction, the second study introduces the Concurrent Attentional Reconstruction Network(CARN) for reconstructing point clouds from single 2D images, achieving over 99% accuracy with low EMD and CD values. By combining convolutional layers, inception modules, and attention mechanisms with preprocessing steps like Ex_NLMF for noise reduction and Up_FKMA for accurate disease area identification, the third method,Twin Attention-aided Convolutional Inception Capsule Network (TA_CICNet), performs exceptionally well in medical image reconstruction and classification when it comes to diagnosing brain tumours.

They integrated into wooden, stone, and brick carvings, reflect the local populace’s aspirations for prosperity, longevity, and familial harmony, possessing important inheritance significance. This study aims to establish a model to evaluate the adaptation potential of ornamental motifs under contemporary context in traditional Huizhou dwellings by investigating their development history, categories, and cultural meanings. This model quantifies the factors influencing the adaptation potential of these ornamental motifs, calculates the weight of each factor. The analysis results indicate that, among all the factors, the most important primary indicator is cultural connotation (0,3118). The secondary indicators are visual appeal (0.2300), compatibility with modern aesthetic needs (0.0988) and noble, elegant (0.0836). Additionally, the overall grade of adaptation potential was determined by scoring and ranking motif samples based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. This approach enhances the objectivity, scientific rigor, and accuracy of the selection of ornamental motifs, which not only provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the sustainable development of Huizhou cultural symbols, but also serves methodological reference for related fields in other countries and regions.

The main objective was to determine whether the educational intervention was able to improve the level of competence of teachers. A quasi-experimental design was used with a group of 99 teachers in training and in practice, through a series of reflective workshops based on the curricular proposal, their learning process was intervened. A pretest and a posttest were applied to evaluate the level of competence. The results showed a significant increase in the level of competence. Substantial improvements were observed in the understanding of fundamental concepts and in the ability to solve problems using computational tools. It is important to recognize some limitations. The quasi-experimental design and the sample size could limit the generalizability of the findings. In addition, the duration of the intervention might not be sufficient to evaluate the long-term impact. Future studies with more robust designs and large samples are recommended to corroborate these results and explore the impact. Furthermore, it is suggested that quantitative analyses be complemented with qualitative studies to gain a deeper understanding of teachers' learning processes. Despite these limitations, the results support the effectiveness of the curricular proposal in developing CT skills in primary school teachers and suggest the need to implement similar programs in other educational contexts.

The Action-Research methodology is used with the use of sensors that monitor data on environmental variables of ambient temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture, which are sent to an IoT platform where the necessary data are processed and generated. A specific infrastructure is designed for compost production, which includes a closed box lined with greenhouse plastic, a container for the compost, a piping system to maintain humidity, a heater to raise the temperature and a protective box for the sensors. Also included is the development and training of a neural network model that predicts methane production based on the above variables. The data show that composting at temperatures between 55-65 degrees Celsius, using aerobic biological methods, significantly reduces methane production by eliminating bacteria responsible for methane generation. The data collected and model predictions can be monitored remotely through the IoT platform. At the conclusion of the work, the compost generated was found to be suitable for micronization.

The experiments were carried out according to ASTM D638 14, using Type I specimens with the established dimensions. For the generation of the 3D model, parameters such as printing temperature, printing speed, density, and filling pattern were set. Cubic, gyroid, and triangular filling patterns were used, with filling densities of 40%, 60%, and 80%. For each configuration, a G-code was generated and used for the fabrication of each specimen. A total of 90 specimens were used, which were divided into two groups according to the brand. Subsequently, tensile tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties by analyzing the stress-strain curves under the established conditions. Comparative analysis revealed that SUNLU's PLA FC filament achieves higher ultimate stress values, while Artillery's filament has a better ability to withstand deformation. Likewise, the filler pattern that withstood the greatest load was the cubic one.

A key focus is the detailed evaluation of lead-acid batteries and battery emulators in electronic applications. The study highlights the significance of lead-acid battery discharge emulators as cost-effective and safe alternatives to actual batteries in laboratory testing, enabling controlled testing conditions. The system behavior was validated by employing a resistive load module and making comparisons with manufacturer data. Using this system and a resistive load module, its behavior was verified by comparing it with the data provided by the manufacturer. The next phase of this work involved selecting components to emulate the battery's behavior using a switched-mode power supply controlled by a current source and a mathematical model chosen from the Matlab-Simulink tool through a Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system that interprets the battery's state of charge (SoC) to match the pre-configured model response to the lead-acid battery manufacturer's data. The emulator circuit was thoroughly evaluated against the model's expected responses to various charge levels, culminating in the implementation of an integrated prototype that simulates the discharge of lead-acid batteries in low-power applications and introduces a user-friendly interface, facilitating its application in general engineering studies. The work offers a valuable tool for battery research and development, promoting advancements in the study of lead-acid battery discharge in low-power applications.

Their performance is highly dependent on the materials used, which influence charged generation efficiency, durability, and application potential. Despite significant advancements in material design, a comprehensive analysis of the most frequently used materials and their impact on output performance remains limited. Methods: A bibliometric and systematic review was conducted to identify the predominant materials in TENG fabrication. Data was collected from Scopus and Web of Science, analyzing publication trends, material co-occurrence, and performance metrics. A co-occurrence network analysis was performed using VOSviewer, and experimental studies were systematically reviewed to evaluate the correlation between material selection and output voltage (Voc).

Studies show that failure rates for such projects range from 30% to 70%, with 57% of implementations taking longer than expected, 54% exceeding budget, and 41% failing to achieve the anticipated benefits. This paper proposes a framework for managing EITA implementation projects in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The framework was developed by coding and analyzing interviews with 18 professionals who have experience with EITA implementations. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the qualitative analysis software MaxQDA. The outcome is a descriptive framework that outlines the necessary activities for each phase of an EITA implementation project, taking into account the specific limitations and constraints of SMEs. This framework is designed to be a practical tool for project managers overseeing EITA implementations in SMEs, as well as for professionals new to this type of project, providing them with a foundational structure for effective project management.

The performance metrics, including overshoot, settling time, trajectory tracking accuracy, and torque requirements, were evaluated using simulation models. The results indicate that the FF-FB LQR controller demonstrated superior performance, achieving the lowest overshoot (4.98%) and near-zero trajectory tracking error. All controllers required approximately 8.6 Nm of torque, suggesting consistent energy requirements across strategies despite their performance differences. The LQR controller exhibited the best stability, minimizing overshoot and improving overall system response. These findings highlight the advantages of feedforward-feedback control strategies, particularly the FF-FB LQR, for controlling robotic transfemoral prostheses with enhanced stability and accuracy.

This study explores the potential of machine learning to enhance diagnostic accuracy by analysing voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) images. The objective is to develop predictive models that provide an objective and consistent approach to VUR classification. A total of 113 VCUG images were reviewed, with experts grading them based on VUR severity. Nine distinct image features were selected to build six predictive models, which were evaluated using 'leave-one-out' cross-validation. The analysis identified renal calyces’ deformation patterns as key indicators of high-grade VUR. The models—Logistic Regression, Tree, Gradient Boosting, Neural Network, and Stochastic Gradient Descent—achieved precise classifications with no false positives or negatives. High sensitivity to subtle patterns characteristic of different VUR grades was confirmed by substantial Area Under the Curve (AUC) values. This study demonstrates that machine learning can address the limitations of subjective VUR assessments, offering a more reliable and standardized grading system. The findings highlight the significance of renal calyces’ deformation as a predictor of severe VUR cases. Future research should focus on refining methodologies, exploring additional image features, and expanding the dataset to enhance model accuracy and clinical applicability.

The dataset, characterized by high missing values (38.1%), includes service counts (preventive, treatment, exams), delivery systems (FFS, managed care), and beneficiary demographics. Feature ranking methods such as information gain, Gini index, and ANOVA were employed to identify critical predictors, revealing treatment-related metrics (TXMT_USER_CNT, TXMT_SVC_CNT) as top-ranked features. Twelve ML models, including k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Random Forest, Neural Networks, and Gradient Boosting, were evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation. Classification accuracy was tested across incremental feature subsets derived from rankings. The Neural Network achieved the highest accuracy (94.1%) using all 20 features, followed by Gradient Boosting (93.2%) and Random Forest (93.0%). Models showed improved performance as more features were incorporated, with SGD and ensemble methods demonstrating robustness to missing data. Feature ranking highlighted the dominance of treatment service counts and annotation codes in distinguishing provider types, while demographic variables (AGE_GROUP, CALENDAR_YEAR) had minimal impact. The study underscores the importance of feature selection in enhancing model efficiency and accuracy, particularly in imbalanced healthcare datasets. These findings advocate for integrating feature-ranking techniques with advanced ML algorithms to optimize dental provider classification, enabling targeted resource allocation for underserved populations.

However, there are still significant barriers to ensuring that AI technologies are accessible and usable by a broad range of users. As AI solutions proliferate across mainstream systems and applications, design-based approaches that explicitly bring in inclusive and human-centric values have become critical. This paper provides a concerted look at user-centered design at the intersection of AI, accessibility, and usability, proposing a framework that cuts across technological, social, and regulatory challenges. Contributions include identifying existing work and current literature gaps, key research questions, and a methodology to explore how to optimize AI systems for the widest possible range of users. We anchor our recommendations with a use-inspired case of an AI-driven public transportation assistant for individuals with diverse physical and cognitive abilities to demonstrate how our framework could benefit real-world applications. On the basis of existing standards and theoretical insights, this paper argues that the design process should be proactive, iterative, and implemented with the participation of multiple stakeholders. In their design of AI systems, this is meant to make the systems adaptive to users, rather than users being adaptive to the AI systems, thus revealing that “AI for all” can indeed be a realistic and realizable paradigm.

Effective categorization of providers, such as standard rendering providers and safety net clinic (SNC) providers, enhances service delivery to underserved populations. To evaluate the performance of machine learning models in classifying dental providers using a 2018 dataset. A dataset of 24,300 instances with 20 features was analyzed, including beneficiary and service counts across fee-for-service (FFS), Geographic Managed Care, and Pre-Paid Health Plans. Providers were categorized by delivery system and patient age groups (0–20 and 21+). Despite 38.1% missing data, multiple machine learning algorithms were tested, including k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Random Forest, Neural Networks, and Gradient Boosting. A 10-fold cross-validation approach was applied, and models were evaluated using AUC, classification accuracy (CA), F1-score, precision, and recall. Neural Networks achieved the highest AUC (0.975) and CA (94.1%), followed by Random Forest (AUC: 0.948, CA: 93.0%). These models effectively handled imbalanced data and complex feature interactions, outperforming traditional classifiers like Logistic Regression and SVM. Advanced machine learning techniques, particularly ensemble and deep learning models, significantly enhance dental workforce classification. Their integration into healthcare analytics can improve provider identification and resource distribution, benefiting underserved populations.

On the one hand, networks contribute to strengthening family ties, facilitating communication between friends, and spreading Islamic values through awareness campaigns, and on the other hand, their excessive use leads to social isolation and a decline in real interaction, in addition to the spread of immoral content that negatively affects values. Methods: The study used the descriptive analytical approach based on previous studies and data analysis. The research relies on Islamic jurisprudence as a reference to provide legal controls that control the use according to the principle of "warding off evils and bringing interests", where he stressed the importance of balancing benefits and harms. Results: The study found that moderate use of these networks enhances social relationships, while excessive leads to family disintegration and weakened real ties. The research recommends promoting community awareness about responsible use, developing Sharia standards, and supporting real-world interaction through social activities, with a focus on disseminating meaningful and positive content. Conclusions: It concluded that communication networks represent a dual-impact tool that requires managing them wisely to ensure public benefit and avoid negative effects, with the need to integrate Islamic values into digital use to enhance social relations and control digital behavior.

Abstract: Introduction: Stuttering is a disorder that affects fluency and is associated with social stigma and negative beliefs. Public opinion about stuttering is fundamental to understanding the social and psychological dynamics faced by people who stutter. Beliefs and reactions to stuttering have been documented to vary across cultures, gender and age, which may influence understanding of the condition. Objective: To explore beliefs and reactions to stuttering in chilean men and women, and to assess whether gender influences public opinion about the condition. Method: Quantitative, descriptive, exploratory study. The culturally adapted survey 'the public opinion survey on human attributes-stuttering' was administered to 400 Chileans. Results: A high percentage of men (92.7%) and women (96.0%) believe that people with stuttering should hide their condition. Both sexes also share stigmatizing beliefs, although they recognize that people with stuttering can lead normal lives. In terms of reactions, both women and men expressed concern when someone stuttered, but also showed a willingness to behave normally in conversation. Conclusions: Beliefs and reactions to stuttering in Chile reflect a persistent stigma. Differences in perceptions may be influenced by socio-demographic factors such as gender, suggesting the need for educational interventions to promote better understanding of the condition.

In this paper, we propose a new key generation algorithm using the simultaneous use of the SqueezeNet deep learning model and hyperchaotic map to improve the hallmark of cryptographic security. The method employed in the proposed approach is built around the SqueezeNet model, which is lighter and faster in extracting features from the input image, and a hyperchaotic map, which is the main source of dynamic and non-trivial keys. The hyperchaotic map enhances complexity and randomness, securing the new cryptosystem against brute force and statistical attacks, and the key length depends on the number of features in the image. All our experiments prove that the proposed key generator works well in generating long, random, high entropy keys and is highly resistant to all typical cryptographic attacks. The promising profound synergy of deep learning and chaotic systems provides directions for the development of secure and effective methods of cryptography amid the exacerbated cyber threats. The technique was found to meet all the 15 criteria as tested through the NIST statistical test suite.

This study proposes a hybrid approach integrating density-based clustering with deep learning to identify malicious traffic over the network. The proposed framework consists of two steps: clustering and classifying data. in clustering, the proposed model uses density clustering techniques to pre-process and segment network traffic into coherent clusters, thereby reducing data noise within clusters. The deep learning model analyses these clusters, accurately distinguishing between benign and malicious activities. The proposed model was tested over the benchmark dataset CIRA-CIC-DoHBrw-2020.

However, this assumption faces two significant challenges: it overlooks the complexity of real samples, where individuals may have different sampling weights, and it introduces a bias toward the majority class in imbalanced datasets. In this study, we propose an innovative approach that introduces differentiated weights for individuals by adjusting sample weights through calibration. This method aims to address class imbalance issues while improving the representativeness of samples. We applied it to the Support Vector Machine. Additionally, we developed an improved adjusted weighting approach to further enhance model performance, particularly for the minority class. This improved version combines two widely used techniques for handling class imbalances (resampling and cost-sensitive learning) by first balancing the classes through resampling, then applying adjusted sample weights during training. We evaluated the performance of our approach on real datasets with varying levels of imbalance using multiple evaluation metrics. The results were compared with various conventional methods commonly employed to address class imbalance. Our findings demonstrate the relevance and generalizability of our proposed algorithms, which often achieve performance equal to or better than that of established competing methods. Overall, our methodology not only corrects sample imbalances but also ensures a more accurate representation of the target population in the model, making it a robust and flexible solution for real-world imbalanced classification challenges.

It depends on formalisation of ontology development cooperation by means of an explicit editorial process, coordinating change proposals between ontology editors in a flexible manner. Added to this is the presence of novel distributed change management of ontologies style, models, and methods. We introduce the Academic Paper Citation Ontology (APCO) as an new layer-style approach to presenting ontologies towards highest independence of the underlying language of the ontologies. We also have attendant manipulation, versioning, capture, storage, and maintenance approaches and methods that exist and which rely on existing notions that are at the cutting-edge. Additionally, we provide a suite of change propagation techniques for supporting the consistency maintenance of distributed replicas of the same ontology. Finally, to increase the domain coverage of FOAF, we have extended it by extracting social interaction facts and relationships from emerging ontology. One specific problem that arises from time to time in enriching and merging ontologies is what this paper is all about: choosing which of the several ontologies available best relates to a particular piece of text associated with an input domain. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), more specifically their application in the research field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), are the foundation of the approach proposed. Consider calculating the ontologies' relevance score by combining neural networks and natural language processing.

This study investigates the role of engagement metrics, sentiment analysis, and consumer segmentation in enhancing marketing effectiveness. Specifically, it examines how these technologies process consumer interaction data to uncover actionable insights, segment audiences, and drive purchase conversions. Method The study employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating big data analytics and machine learning techniques. Descriptive statistics highlighted engagement patterns, while k-means clustering segmented consumers based on behavioural and emotional data. Sentiment analysis, conducted using Natural Language Processing (NLP), captured consumer emotions as positive, neutral, or negative. Regression analysis evaluated the influence of social media activity, click-through rates, session duration, and sentiment scores on purchase conversion rates. Results Descriptive analysis revealed significant variability in consumer engagement and sentiment, with 37.5% of consumers expressing positive sentiment. Clustering identified three distinct consumer segments, reflecting differences in engagement and sentiment. Regression analysis showed that sentiment had a positive but statistically insignificant relationship with purchase conversions, while other metrics, such as click-through rates and session duration, exhibited minimal impact. The overall explanatory power of the regression model was low (R-squared = 0.001), indicating the need for additional factors to understand purchase behaviour. Conclusion The findings emphasize the potential of big data analytics and machine learning in consumer segmentation and sentiment analysis. However, their direct impact on purchase conversion is limited without integrating broader variables. A holistic, adaptive framework combining behavioural, emotional, and contextual insights is essential for maximizing marketing personalization and driving outcomes in dynamic digital environments.

The primary focus is on enhancing the security and quality of encrypted raster images by manipulating the individual bit layers of color images. Methods: To encrypt a raster image, the color image is decomposed into binary layers, each representing pixel bits at varying levels of significance. The least significant bits are placed in the least significant layers, while the most significant bits are positioned in the most significant layers. Transformation operations are performed on the bits or their arrays, reconfiguring them into different bit arrangements. Shifting operations are applied to bits across rows and columns within each bit layer, with shifts between layers carried out separately. Additionally, permutation operations are used to further rearrange bit arrays both within individual layers and between layers themselves. Results: Through experimentation, two encryption scenarios have been identified that provide high-quality results for images with different structures. These scenarios produce distinct encrypted images based on the combinations of operations and their sequence, yet maintain a high standard of encryption quality. Conclusions: The proposed method demonstrates an effective approach to encrypting raster images without relying on external encryption tools, minimizing the risk of information loss during decryption. The combination of transformation, shifting, and permutation operations ensures robust encryption, making the technique suitable for a wide range of image types.

However, the scheduling of small order batches presents significant challenges, as it demands skilled operators and strict adherence to On-Time Delivery (OTD) targets. Traditional scheduling methods based on product family groupings often result in frequent and time-consuming changeovers, increasing downtime and reducing operational efficiency by up to 15-20%. This paper introduces a novel clustering-based scheduling methodology that organizes production lines by technological times rather than product families. By grouping garments with similar operational requirements, this approach aims to minimize changeover times, streamline production transitions, and reduce downtime by an average of 30-35%. A case study conducted in a Moroccan garment factory validates the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The factory, with an average order size of 50-100 units per batch, achieved a 20% reduction in lead time and a 15% increase in operator productivity after implementing the clustering-based scheduling. Additionally, the use of clustering methods such as K-Means facilitated the grouping of garments with minimal operational variability, further enhancing planning flexibility and resource utilization. This study highlights how technological clustering enhances production scheduling in the garment industry. It emphasizes aligning production processes with operational needs to optimize resources and competitiveness in fast fashion. The methodology provides a framework for reducing changeover downtime, boosting productivity, and maintaining agility in a dynamic market.

In Morocco, the El Gharb plain is the most affected. The Rharb basin receives between 500 and 600mm of precipitation and includes 30% of Morocco's water resources. All the factors that make the Rharb plain a vulnerable area are: climatic factors, lithology, geomorphology, the limited number of natural outlets for water drainage towards the Atlantic Ocean. The methodology adopted is based on the determination of flood zones and the hydraulic modeling of the main tributaries of the Oued Sebou and the main sanitation channels, in order to monitor the evolution of flood zones and evaluate the flow of the Oued Sebou to understand the functioning of the hydrographic network and the overflow points. According to the hydrographs established by the Gharb plain flood protection department, the maximum flow at the entrance to the city of Kenitra was estimated at 2,600 m3/s and the flow of the Oued at this level is of the order of 1,600 m3/s, which explains the overflows recorded at the level of the left bank of the Oued Sebou, the dead arm of the Oued. The results of these studies as well as the analysis of the history of the floods of the Oued Sebou, show that one to two major floods occur every 10 years and that the overflows reach upstream of the highway to the dead arm of the Oued and cover Merja-Fouarate such as the case of the flooding of the city of Kenitra in 2010.

These programs enhance teacher satisfaction, retention, and productivity, benefiting educators and institutions. Despite their importance, the evaluation of induction programs often lacks generalizability, with existing studies constrained by local policies, specific methodologies, or limited scopes. Objective: The purpose of this study was to systematically review and analyze existing teacher induction program evaluation instruments to identify their applicability, limitations, and gaps. Method: A systematic review was conducted in July 2021 following PRISMA guidelines, with searches performed in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Keywords such as “induction program,” “program evaluation,” and “programme assessment” were used with Boolean operators to ensure a comprehensive search. Inclusion criteria required articles to evaluate induction programs and be published in English or Spanish. Out of 22 initially identified publications, six met the eligibility criteria. Results: The selected studies showcased diverse methodologies, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed approaches. However, most were limited by contextual specificity, focusing on local policies or isolated variables like online learning communities or immersive programs. Conclusions: The E-Tip was the only instrument demonstrating generalizability in teacher induction program evaluation. However, it assesses the presence of quality criteria without evaluating their degree of implementation. The review highlights the need for a robust, qualitative tool to complement existing quantitative measures, which would provide a comprehensive framework for assessing the effectiveness of teacher induction programs across diverse educational settings.

This study used experimental data to estimate the impulse response of an audio system—comprising an amplifier, a speaker, a room, and a microphone. Four methods were employed: two parametric and two non-parametric approaches, applied in both the time and frequency domains. The methods were evaluated quantitatively using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) metric and qualitatively through a perceptual analysis with six participants. The parametric frequency-domain method achieved the best perceptual results, with 75% of participants rating the output as good. While this method exhibited slightly higher RMSE compared to other techniques, its low filter order (8) resulted in superior computational efficiency. The findings highlight that perceptual alignment often diverges from purely mathematical error minimization. Real-time implementation of the selected impulse response further demonstrated its practical application in audio processing systems. This research bridges quantitative metrics and human auditory perception, emphasizing the need for balanced decision-making in audio system modeling.

The semiparametric model integrated parametric and nonparametric components, facilitating the analysis of complex relationships. Confidence intervals were estimated using a pivotal quantity method.The approach was applied to COVID-19 data from Indonesia, exploring the associations between Time, Temperature, and Sunlight Intensity with the Case Increase Rate (CIR) and Case Fatality Rate (CFR). Data spanning April to November 2020 were sourced from 10 provinces with the highest CIR and CFR, obtained from http://kawalcovid.com/ and https://power.larc.nasa.gov/.The analysis identified an optimal Generalized Cross-Validation (GCV) value of 220, with one knot at 24.35°C for Temperature and two knots at 11.33 and 13 units for Sunlight Intensity. Confidence interval estimation demonstrated that all parametric components associated with Time were statistically significant, reflecting a consistent decline in CIR and CFR over time. For the nonparametric components, four parameters significantly influenced CIR, while three parameters significantly affected CFR, contingent on the knot points.The findings underscored the role of environmental factors in shaping COVID-19 dynamics and provided a robust analytical framework for future pandemic modeling.

Decisions about their quality are crucial to maximize profits and meet customer expectations. In the past, apples or even other fruits were based solely on visual assessments by experts, which led to errors. These old methods no longer consider the genetic evolution of apples, as they only consider their size, color, and skin imperfections. Digitizing this process saves energy and reduces costs and human error as well. Recent technological advances, which combine AI and CAO at the same time for fruit sorting, make it possible to achieve high levels of quality and meet the growing challenges of food safety on a global scale. This study proposes a machine learning-based multiclass model to improve the accuracy and efficiency of apple quality assessment. The model is trained on a large image dataset of three apple varieties: Gala, Fuji, and Golden Delicious (G.D). The model automatically classifies apples based on attributes such as color, shape, and imperfections, and evaluates their conformity. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this model, which achieves 97% accuracy in identifying apple varieties and assessing their quality. This approach significantly reduces inspection time and errors, optimizing operations in the production chain.

The inequality measured by the Gini, Atkinson, and Theil indices for Colombia reflects the distributive efforts to reduce inequality between 2002 and 2023. To conduct this analysis, the Gini coefficient was decomposed by sources of income using the methodology proposed by Lerman, Yitzhaki, and Shorrocks. The results revealed that despite efforts in redistributive policy, the gap between the richest 10% and the poorest 10% widened. The income structure showed that households diversify their income, with institutional assistance being crucial for the lower deciles, while income from primary activities is most representative in the higher deciles. Additionally, from 2020 onwards, there has been increased dependence on institutional assistance among the lowest deciles. The article concluded that, although there have been improvements in per capita income overall, inequalities persist and have been exacerbated in times of crisis. It emphasized the need for more effective policies to address income disparities concerning the main sources and to promote a more equitable distribution in Colombia Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 587 Volume: 4 Year: 2025 DOI: 10.56294/dm2025587 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:4:y:2025:i::p:587:id:1056294dm2025587 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Young-Chool Choi Author-Name-First: Young-Chool Author-Name-Last: Choi Title: Machine Learning-based Classification of Developing Countries and Exploration of Country-Specific ODA Strategies Abstract: Introduction: This study aimed to develop a systematic methodology for classifying recipient countries using machine learning, with the premise that tailoring mid- to long-term ODA strategies to country characteristics is essential.

Indonesia is one of the countries with the fourth largest rice consumption according to the United States Department of Agriculture. 90% of Indonesians consume rice as a staple food. In this study, we model paddy production in Indonesia using a semiparametric time series regression approach based on least square spline estimator (LSSE). Where spline is used to overcome data that tends to fluctuate in monthly paddy production data. Monthly data on paddy production in Indonesia over a certain period of time is used to build a model. The use of a semiparametric regression approach by combining parametric components and nonparametric components for analyzing factors that affect paddy production. In this study, the parametric component is paddy production in the previous period lag-1 and the nonparametric components are the potential area of crop failure and the generative area. For predicting paddy production in Indonesia using Semiparametric Time Series Regression Model (STSRM) approach based on LSSE, we determine the order and optimal knot points based on the smallest Generalized Cross Validation (GCV) value. The results of the study show that the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) value of 18.05% is less than 20%. It means that prediction of paddy production in Indonesia using STSRM based on LSSE is a good prediction Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 527 Volume: 4 Year: 2025 DOI: 10.56294/dm2025527 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:4:y:2025:i::p:527:id:1056294dm2025527 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Titi Sriwhyuni Author-Name-First: Titi Author-Name-Last: Sriwhyuni Author-Name: Ambiyar Author-Name-First: Ambiyar Author-Name-Last: Ambiyar Author-Name: Elfi Tasrif Author-Name-First: Elfi Author-Name-Last: Tasrif Author-Name: Afif Rahman Riyanda Author-Name-First: Afif Rahman Author-Name-Last: Riyanda Author-Name: Hafizul Fahri Hanafi Author-Name-First: Hafizul Fahri Author-Name-Last: Hanafi Author-Name: Yolanda Idha Hanafi Author-Name-First: Yolanda Idha Author-Name-Last: Hanafi Author-Name: Fitri Yanti Author-Name-First: Fitri Author-Name-Last: Yanti Title: Android-Based Digital Learning Media: Improving Interactivity in Analysis and Design of Systems Course Abstract: This study aims to develop an Android-based digital learning media to enhance student engagement and understanding in the Analysis and System Design course at Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP).

Given that the servers were much farther away from the actual site of operation, traditional cloud computing faced huge delays in processing. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) resolved this challenge by enabling localized data processing, reducing latency and enhancing resource utilization. Methods: This study proposed an Efficient Mobile Edge Computing-based Internet of Vehicles Task Offloading Framework (EMEC-IoVTOF). The framework integrated deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to optimize task offloading decisions, focusing on minimizing latency and energy consumption while accounting for bandwidth and computational constraints. Offloading costs were calculated using mathematical modeling and further optimized through Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). An adaptive inertia weight mechanism was implemented to avoid local optimization and enhance task allocation decisions. Result: The proposed framework was thus proved effective for any latency reduction and energy consumption optimization in efficiently improving the overall system performance. DRL and MEC together facilitate scalability in task distribution by ensuring robust performance in dynamic vehicular environments. Integration with PSO further enhances the decision-making process and makes the system highly adaptable to dynamic task demands and network conditions. Discussion:The findings highlighted the potential of EMEC-IoVTOF to address key challenges in IoV systems, including latency, energy efficiency, and bandwidth utilization. Future research could explore real-world deployment and adaptability to complex vehicular scenarios, further validating its scalability and reliability.

Early detection plays a pivotal role in substantially diminishing both the morbidity and mortality rates associated with this disease in women. Consequently, the development of an automated diagnostic system holds promise in enhancing the precision of diagnoses. To automatically classify breast cancer microscopy images stained into two distinct classifications—normal tissue and benign lesions—this study introduces a graph-based convolutional neural network with hybrid optimization (G-CNN) that makes use of a dataset that was specially selected for this purpose. The network layer is capitalized in our suggested model to extract reliable and abstract information from input photos. Initially, we used 5-fold cross-validation (CV) to optimize the suggested model on the original dataset. Our framework demonstrated a 98% accuracy rate and a 0.969 kappa score. It also received an average AUC-ROC score of 0.998 and a mean AUC-PR value of 0.995. In specific terms, it displayed 96% and 99% sensitivity, respectively, about the supplied photographs. Examining normalized photos, the suggested architecture outperformed the other approaches in terms of colour normalization methodology performance. These findings underscore the superior performance of our proposed model compared to both the baseline approaches and established prevailing models using default settings. Furthermore, it becomes evident that while existing normalization techniques delivered competitive performance, they fell short of surpassing the results obtained from the original dataset Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 511 Volume: 4 Year: 2025 DOI: 10.56294/dm2025511 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:4:y:2025:i::p:511:id:1056294dm2025511 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Dinesh Kumar Anguraj Author-Name-First: Dinesh Kumar Author-Name-Last: Anguraj Author-Name: Sivaneasan Bala Krishnan Author-Name-First: Sivaneasan Bala Author-Name-Last: Krishnan Author-Name: T Sathish Kumar Author-Name-First: T Sathish Author-Name-Last: Kumar Author-Name: Prasun Chakrabarti Author-Name-First: Prasun Author-Name-Last: Chakrabarti Author-Name: Tulika Chakrabarti Author-Name-First: Tulika Author-Name-Last: Chakrabarti Author-Name: Martin Margala Author-Name-First: Martin Author-Name-Last: Margala Author-Name: Siva Shankar S Author-Name-First: Siva Author-Name-Last: Shankar S Title: Hybrid weighted sequential learnong technique for structural health monitoring using learning approaches Abstract: Abstract- Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) plays a vital role in damage detection, offering significant maintenance and failure prevention benefits. Establishing effective SHM systems for damage identification (DI) traditionally requires extensive experimental datasets collected under varied operating and environmental conditions, which can be resource-intensive. This study introduces a novel approach to SHM by leveraging a Hybrid Weighted Sequential Learning Technique (HWSLT) classifier, which uses Finite Element (FE) computed responses to simulate structural behaviors under both healthy and damaged states. Initially, an optimal FE model representing a healthy, benchmark linear beam structure is developed and updated using experimental validation data. The HWSLT classifier is trained on SHM vibration data generated from this model under simulated load cases with uncertainty. This allows for minimal real-world experimental intervention while ensuring robust damage detection. Results demonstrate that the HWSLT classifier, trained with optimal FE model data, achieves high accuracy in predicting damage states in the benchmark structure, even when mixed with random disturbances. Conversely, data from non-ideal FE models produced unreliable classifications, underscoring the importance of model accuracy. These findings suggest that the integration of ideal FE models and deep learning offers a promising pathway for future SHM applications, with potential for reduced experimental costs and enhanced damage localization capabilities Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 510 Volume: 4 Year: 2025 DOI: 10.56294/dm2025510 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:4:y:2025:i::p:510:id:1056294dm2025510 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Yiming Zhang Author-Name-First: Yiming Author-Name-Last: Zhang Author-Name: Ajmera Mohan Singh Author-Name-First: Ajmera Author-Name-Last: Mohan Singh Title: Leveraging Digital Intelligence for the Design and Fabrication of Urban Sculpture Art Abstract: With the rise of digital intelligent technology, its application fields are more and more extensive, including urban sculpture. This study addresses the critical factors of durability and maintenance associated with the digital components used in outdoor urban sculptures. The primary objective of this research is to employ cutting-edge digital intelligent technologies in the conceptualization and realization of urban sculpture. We introduce an innovative Efficient Generative Adversarial Network (EGAN), enhanced by fruit fly optimization (FFO), which facilitates the generation of unique patterns and designs for urban sculptures through smart sensor integration. This approach leverages a variety of data collected by smart sensors, which is subsequently preprocessed through data cleaning and normalization techniques. We apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for effective feature extraction, allowing for the development of intelligent digital frameworks for urban sculpture design models. Our results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly enhances design efficiency (25 hours), resolution (600 dpi), material strength (35 MPa), environmental adaptability (high), and overall durability (10 years) of urban sculpture patterns derived from smart sensor data. The digital intelligent technology-based design approach surpasses traditional methodologies in meeting the stringent standards set for urban sculpture design, thereby contributing to the future of urban art installations.

The current project focuses on the first approach, considering students, professors and investigators as the main beneficiaries and target audience. There is a shortage of software that automate the TODIM method, therefore it is proposed to develop a web application mainly using Python, HTML and JavaScript programming languages that can satisfy this necessity. To guarantee a uniformity in the results obtained by this program, samples of results obtained by this method by other researchers are taken as a basis and guide. To develop the application, the complete functioning of TODIM as an alternative evaluation approach must be understood. In a general view, TODIM uses pairwise comparisons between decision criteria while eliminating the inconsistencies that arise from such comparisons. Thus, the main idea is to measure the degree of dominance in each alternative over the others using the prospective value function. As result, it calculates the overall and partial degrees of dominance of each alternative to finally lead to a classification or “ranking” of the best alternatives.

However, the service provided to customers was based on the location of electrical meters. In the absence of addressing in rural areas, it was too difficult to ensure a comprehensive survey of electrical meter indexes and intervene in time for troubleshooting. The method adopted was the choice of a site with a significant number of meters and energy transformers and the geolocation of electrical installations by a GPS that allowed the assignment of a universal address to electrical installations and facilitated the location of facilities for maintenance and emergency response. The study of optimization algorithms has directed the choice toward the algorithm of the nearest neighbor that remains fast and aims to other algorithms whose number of iterations can be exponential (n! iterations) but less exact. The integration of route optimization algorithms has improved the reactivity of technicians, reduced operational costs, and ensured accurate reading of indexes and transparent billing. The study presents a specific case in Morocco, where route optimization based on GPS coordinates of électric meters in reading indexes has significantly improved efficiency and customer satisfaction. In addition, the K-Means method was used to determine the centroids and clusters that represent respectively the transformation stations and the groups of electrical meters. These groupings allow the calculation of energy sales by transformer station to increase them by reducing energy losses Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 489 Volume: 4 Year: 2025 DOI: 10.56294/dm2025489 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:4:y:2025:i::p:489:id:1056294dm2025489 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Jie Bai Author-Name-First: Jie Author-Name-Last: Bai Author-Name: Ajmera Mohan Singh Author-Name-First: Ajmera Author-Name-Last: Mohan Singh Title: Exploring Computer-Aided Environmental Art Design: A Course Overview Abstract: Computer aided education is transforming with the integration of technology.

Such is the situation where AI integration into the arena of recruitment is increasingly rapid, while there are vital issues on the side of bias, accessibility, and fairness for applicants of diverse needs. Methods This study was a mixed-methods approach, examining sentiment analysis, emotion detection, and HR analytics of feedback from applicants with a disability, 415 in total. The research focused on scores referring to sentiment, the progression rate, and the outcome of the final hiring. Results The sentiment score varied significantly across disability types (p-value <0.05). The applicants with cognitive disability expressed the highest sentiment sore while applicants with hearing impairment had the lowest, which indicated the varying adaptability of AI. The emotion analysis depicted a mix of positive and negative emotions. A few applicants liked technology and have trust in it, while others report fear. Clearly, the applicants, both disabled and non-disabled did not differ in their rate of progression (p-value >0.05), hence never indicating any significant difference within the initial steps of the process. The final hiring stage showed significant differences in results with (p-value <0.05), where the proportionate number of disabled applicants was recorded to be lower than that of non-disabled applicants Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 487 Volume: 4 Year: 2025 DOI: 10.56294/dm2025487 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:4:y:2025:i::p:487:id:1056294dm2025487 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Mariam ATWANI Author-Name-First: Mariam Author-Name-Last: ATWANI Author-Name: Mustapha HLYAL Author-Name-First: Mustapha Author-Name-Last: HLYAL Author-Name: Jamila EL ALAMI Author-Name-First: Jamila Author-Name-Last: EL ALAMI Title: A hybrid hw-rfr forecasting model: case of moroccan pharmaceutical sector Abstract: Sales forecasting is an essential element of effective supply chain management, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector where continuous availability of drugs is crucial. This article examines sales forecasts for fluoxetine, an antidepressant available on the Moroccan market under six trade names and 14 different forms. The main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of four forecasting models, namely Prophet Facebook, ARIMA, GRU and Holt-Winters through their accuracy, and to propose a hybrid model that will contribute to improving the accuracy of demand forecasts. Each model was applied individually to predict future sales, and evaluated using MAPE, MAE and RMSE metrics. Next, a hybrid model, integrating Holt-Winters and Random Forest Regressor methods, was developed to leverage the robustness of traditional models while improving predictive performance through machine learning techniques. The results of the study show that traditional models, such as ARIMA and Holt-Winters, offer a solid basis for sales forecasting. However, the hybrid HW-RFR (Holt-Winters Random Forest Regressor) model stands out for a significant improvement in forecast accuracy, demonstrating great robustness to fluctuations in fluoxetine demand. This article highlights the potential of hybrid models for forecasting pharmaceutical sales. The improved forecast accuracy achieved with the HW-RFR model provides stakeholders with more reliable information, enabling them to make informed decisions to optimize pharmaceutical supply chain management Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 483 Volume: 4 Year: 2025 DOI: 10.56294/dm2025483 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:4:y:2025:i::p:483:id:1056294dm2025483 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Mustapha RAZZOUKI Author-Name-First: Mustapha Author-Name-Last: RAZZOUKI Author-Name: Rachid ZAMMAR Author-Name-First: Rachid Author-Name-Last: ZAMMAR Author-Name: Adil GAROHE Author-Name-First: Adil Author-Name-Last: GAROHE Author-Name: Karima SALAH-EDDINE Author-Name-First: Karima Author-Name-Last: SALAH-EDDINE Title: The mediating effect of blue ocean strategy on the relationship between management control system and competitive advantage Abstract: This research examines the impact of management control systems on the competitive advantage of industrial companies, with a focus on the role of the blue ocean strategy as a mediating variable in this relationship.

Scanning network traffic to identify malicious activity is becoming a trend in the cybersecurity domain to mitigate the negative effects of intruders. Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) are widely recognized as essential tools against cyberattacks. However, there is a need to go beyond designing traditional NIDS, which are preferred to be used with binary classification, towards designing multiclass network intrusion detection systems (MNIDS) to predict the cyberattack category. This, indeed, assists in understanding cyberattack behavior, which mitigates their effects quickly. Machine learning models, including conventional and deep learning, have been widely employed in the design of MNIDS. However, MNIDS based on machine learning can face challenges in predicting the category of cyberattack, especially with complex data that has a large number of categories. Thus, this paper proposes an enhanced MNIDS by exploiting the power of integrating continuous wavelet transform (CWT) with machine learning models to increase the accuracy of predicting cyberattacks in network traffic. This is due to the fact that CWT is considered as an effective method for feature extraction. The experimental results emphasize that using CWT with machine learning models improves the classification performance of MNIDS by up to 3.36% in overall accuracy. Additionally, it enhances the F1-score value in up to 40% of the total classes using the proposed model.

Effective diagnostic and treatment strategies are essential, particularly given the high stakes involved in early detection. Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a crucial modality for the identification and monitoring of brain tumors, offering detailed insights into tumor morphology and behavior. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have revolutionized the analysis of medical imaging, significantly enhancing diagnostic precision and efficiency. This study classifies three primary brain tumor types—glioma, meningioma, and general brain tumors—utilizing a comprehensive dataset comprising 15,000 MR images obtained from Kaggle. We evaluated the performance of six distinct machine learning models: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Neural Networks, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Trees, and Random Forests. Each model's effectiveness was assessed through multiple metrics, including classification accuracy (CA), Area Under the Curve (AUC), F1 score, precision, and recall. Our findings reveal that KNN and Neural Networks achieved remarkable classification accuracies of 98.5% and 98.4%, respectively, significantly surpassing the performance of other evaluated models. These results underscore the promise of ML algorithms, particularly KNN and Neural Networks, in improving the diagnostic process for brain cancer through MR imaging. Future research will focus on validating these models with real-world clinical data, aiming to refine and enhance diagnostic methodologies, thus contributing to the development of more accurate, efficient, and accessible tools for brain cancer diagnosis and management.

However, the increasing demand for public transportation has led to rising energy consumption, posing significant challenges for operational sustainability. Current energy management strategies in metro networks rely on static models and centralized systems, which often fail to adapt to real-time fluctuations in energy demand, leading to inefficiencies and wasted resources. Methods: This paper proposes an innovative approach to optimizing energy demand in metro systems by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). By leveraging real-time data collected from IoT sensors deployed throughout the metro network, we apply machine learning algorithms such as Random Forests and Neural Networks to dynamically predict energy demand. These predictions enable metro operators to adjust energy consumption in real-time, thus improving overall system efficiency and reducing operational waste. Our approach was validated using data from the Parisian metro system through extensive simulations. Results: The results of simulations demonstrate significant improvements in energy efficiency. Optimized energy demand management led to a reduction in wasted energy during metro operations, particularly through the utilization of regenerative braking systems. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that integrating AI and IoT technologies into metro systems significantly improves energy efficiency by enabling dynamic energy demand prediction and real-time adjustment of energy consumption. The proposed system is scalable and adaptable, making it suitable for application in metro networks globally, thereby enhancing energy efficiency and supporting sustainable transport initiatives.

Traditional energy management methods, while somewhat effective, often fall short in fully utilizing the potential of regenerative braking systems within metro networks. These conventional approaches, which rely heavily on centralized control and energy storage systems, encounter scalability, security, and transparency limitations. Additionally, inefficient management of energy recovery data can result in significant energy losses and higher operational costs. In response to these challenges, this study proposes a blockchain-based solution utilizing Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithms to optimize energy recovery, particularly during electric braking in metro systems. The developed model securely and transparently validates energy recovery events in real-time, eliminating the need for centralized oversight. By customizing the PoW algorithm, we achieved a balance between computational efficiency and strong security, making this solution scalable and practical for large metro networks. Initial simulations demonstrated a 12-15% improvement in energy recovery efficiency and a 10% reduction in operational costs compared to traditional systems. Furthermore, the comparison between net energy gains and the energy expended by the PoW process highlights the transformative potential of blockchain technologies in metro transportation, offering a pathway to more sustainable and environmentally friendly urban mobility solutions.

VCUGs in pediatric urology are used to diagnose VUR. The goal is to increase diagnostic precision. Various machine learning models categorize VUR grades (Grade 1 to Grade 5) and are evaluated using performance metrics and confusion matrices. Study datasets come from internet repositories with repository names and accession numbers. Machine learning models performed well across several measures. KNN, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and CN2 Rule Induction consistently scored 100% in AUC, CA, F1-score, precision, recall, MCC, and specificity. These models classified grades well individually and collectively. In contrast, the Constant model performed poorly across all criteria, suggesting its inability to categorize VUR grades reliably. With the most excellent average performance ratings, the CN2 Rule Induction model excelled at grade categorization. Confusion matrices demonstrate that machine learning models predict VUR grades. The large diagonal numbers of the matrices show that the models are regularly predicted effectively. However, the Constant model's constant Grade 5 forecast reduced its differentiation. This study shows that most machine learning methods automate VUR measurement. The findings aid objective pediatric urology grading and radiographic evaluation. The CN2 Rule Induction model accurately classifies VUR grades. Machine learning-based diagnostic techniques may increase diagnostic precision, clinical decision-making, and patient outcomes.

These abnormalities can be diagnosed accurately and quickly to ensure food security. This study compares healthy and sick cassava leaves for four diseases: bacterial blight, brown streak, green mottle, and mosaic. Leaf images were systematically feature extracted to reveal color patterns, morphology, and textural qualities. Model learning methods use this extracted feature dataset. A new KNN+DA method may improve disease identification. Differentiable Augmentation uses data unpredictability to create alternative training samples to increase KNN performance. KNN+DA was compared to SVM, KNN, LR, and a memetic-tuned KNN to comprehend it better. We reached calculation speed, accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score. KNN+DA outperformed older approaches in accuracy and resilience. KNN with differentiable augmentation improved classification accuracy and reduced overfitting, improving model generalizability for real-world use. Memetic algorithm-tuned KNN is another potential hybrid technique for disease diagnosis.

This phenomenon negatively impacts the social and economic development of the country. Despite the recent decrease in dropout rates in Ecuador, the problem remains significant. Objective: To develop predictive models, including linear regression and generalized linear models in R-studio, to forecast dropout rates and identify significant institutional and demographic factors. Method: A quantitative approach was adopted to analyze data from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education for the periods 2009-2010 to 2023-2024. Data on enrollments, approvals, non-approvals, and dropouts were reviewed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Results: The results showed a decrease in dropout rates starting from the 2013-2014 academic year, although with significant fluctuations. Higher dropout rates were identified in public institutions and rural areas in the Sierra region, specifically in public institutions in Chimborazo province, accounting for 97.47% of the total dropouts, in contrast to students from the Coastal región. Additionally, a p-value of 0.073 was obtained in the linear models, so the null hypothesis was not rejected, suggesting that the residuals are approximately normal. Conclusions: The predictive models (LM and GLM) effectively estimated dropout rates in Chimborazo, with the GLM showing a slightly better fit. The type of institution and geographic location were significantly associated with dropout rates, highlighting the need for interventions targeting public institutions and rural areas. Strategies to reduce dropout rates should focus on improving conditions in these specific areas Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .450 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.450 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.450:id:1056294dm2024450 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Jamal M.

It examines E-WOM information as independent variables, such as quality, quantity, and credibility, and as dependent variables, such as consumer satisfaction and purchasing decisions, with customer satisfaction serving as a mediator to investigate the relationship between E-WOM information and purchasing decisions. A questionnaire was issued to 307 social media-active clients, and the hypotheses were tested using quantitative methods. Data analysis comprised descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, skewness and kurtosis, and Pearson correlation coefficient, as well as a fit model for measuring questionnaire reliability and validity, regression for sub-hypotheses, and a path model for evaluating main hypotheses. The findings revealed that all three dimensions of E-WOM information had a positive impact on customer satisfaction and purchase decisions, both individually and jointly. Customer satisfaction has a positive influence on purchasing decisions. Furthermore, E-WOM information has been shown to positively impact purchasing decisions via consumer satisfaction. The study suggests that organizations should understand the dimensions that impact customer satisfaction and purchasing decisions in order to fulfill their goals, remain ahead of the competition, and obtain a competitive advantage. Proper tracking of social media reviews, comments, and recommendations may help organizations deliver answers, increase customer satisfaction, and aid in making purchasing decisions Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .449 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.449 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.449:id:1056294dm2024449 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Ahmed Mahdi Abdulkadium Author-Name-First: Ahmed Author-Name-Last: Mahdi Abdulkadium Author-Name: Asaad Sabah Hadi Author-Name-First: Asaad Sabah Author-Name-Last: Hadi Title: Optimizing Query Using the FOAF Relation and Graph Neural Networks to Enhance Information Gathering and Retrieval Abstract: A lot of students suffer expressing their desired enquiry about to a search engine (SE), and this, in turn, can lead to ambiguit and insufficient results. A poor expression requires expanding a previous user query and refining it by adding more vocabularies that make a query more understandable through the searching process. This research aims at adding vocabulary to an enquiry by embedding features related to each keyword, and representing a feature of each query keyword as graphs and node visualization based on graph convolution network (GCN). This is achieved following two approaches. The first is by mapping between vertices, adding a negative link, and training a graph after embedding. This can help check whether new information reach-es for retrieving data from the predicted link. Another approach is based on adding link and node embedding that can create the shortest path to reaching a specific (target) node, . Particularly, poor data retrieval can lead to a new concept named graph expansion network (GEN). Query expansion (QE) techniques can obtain all documents related to expanding and refining query. On the other hand, such documents are represented as knowledge graphs for mapping and checking the similarity between the connection of a graph based on two authors who have similar interst in a particular field, or who collaborate in a research publications. This can create paths or edges between them as link embedding, thereby increasing the accuracy of document or pa-per retrieval based on user typing Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 443 Volume: 4 Year: 2025 DOI: 10.56294/dm2025443 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:4:y:2025:i::p:443:id:1056294dm2025443 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Imane Moustati Author-Name-First: Imane Author-Name-Last: Moustati Author-Name: Noreddine Gherabi Author-Name-First: Noreddine Author-Name-Last: Gherabi Author-Name: Mostafa Saadi Author-Name-First: Mostafa Author-Name-Last: Saadi Title: Building an IoB ecosystem for influencing energy consumption in smart cities Abstract: Introduction: The Internet of Behaviors (IoB) represents a paradigm shift in integrating digital technologies with human behaviors, offering unprecedented insights and opportunities across various domains. This research paper explores the transformative potential of IoB and presents an innovative IoB framework applied to an energy consumption scenario. Objective: We offer an innovative IoB ecosystem aimed at heightening citizens' responsibility and awareness regarding home energy consumption in smart cities.

Traditional models like the original Brickman Principle often simplify this process by assuming fixed critical values and equal probabilities at each decision stage. These assumptions may not accurately reflect real-world complexities, where costs can be cumulative and probabilities variable. Objective This work seeks to enhance the Brickman Principle by including cumulative punishment elements and non-uniform probability distributions, therefore improving its capacity to accurately represent the intricacies of real-world decision-making. Methods Through a rigorous experimental study, we evaluate the impact of these modifications on optimal stopping rules and expected profits. Results In line with Prospect Theory's emphasis on loss aversion, the results reveal a distinct pattern of risk-averse behavior, with most participants choosing to stop sooner in the sequence to avoid growing fines. Furthermore, we saw substantial variation in both the termination points and anticipated earnings across participants, suggesting that individual disparities in risk tolerance and decision-making approaches are crucial in influencing results Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .429 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.429 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.429:id:1056294dm2024429 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Carlos Henríquez Miranda Author-Name-First: Carlos Author-Name-Last: Henríquez Miranda Author-Name: German Sánchez-Torres Author-Name-First: German Author-Name-Last: Sánchez-Torres Title: Implementation and Evaluation of a Hybrid Recommendation System for the Real Estate Market Abstract: Introduction: The real estate market has been transformed by digital technologies, especially Industry 4.0, which has made property searching and evaluation more efficient, improving its accuracy with the use of advanced algorithms.

Early detection significantly improves survival rates and outcomes, highlighting the need for enhanced screening methods and increased awareness to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment. Microarray gene data, characterized by its high dimensionality, includes the expression levels of thousands of genes across numerous samples, posing both opportunities and challenges in the analysis of gene functions and disease mechanisms. Method: This paper presents a novel hybrid gene feature selection method called HGDBO, which combines the Dung Beetle Optimization (DBO) algorithm with the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to increase the effectiveness of microarray data analysis. The proposed HGDBO method utilizes the exploratory capabilities of DBO and the exploitative strengths of GA to identify the most relevant genes for disease classification. Experimental results on multiple microarray datasets demonstrate that the hybrid approach offers superior classification performance, stability, and computational efficiency compared to traditional and state-of-the-art methods. To classify ovarian cancer, Naïve-Bayes (NB) and Random-Forest (RF) classification algorithms were employed. Results and Discussion: The proposed Random Forest model outperforms the Naive Bayes model across all metrics, achieving better accuracy (0.96 vs. 0.91), precision (0.95 vs. 0.91), recall (0.97 vs. 0.90), F-1 score (0.95 vs. 0.91), and specificity (0.97 vs. 0.86). Conclusion: These results underscore the effectiveness of the HGDBO method and the Random Forest classifier in enhancing the analysis and classification of ovarian cancer using microarray gene data.

This was created to address the shortcomings of the Experiential Learning (EL) approach in enhancing student communication proficiency. Thus, this study's goal is to evaluate the viability of the Ss-BL learning paradigm. In this work, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the Mile and Huberman methodology were employed in an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach. The paradigm for Ss-BL learning is created by conceptualization, theorization, hypothesization, and finalization phases. The research data was acquired via the process of document analysis and conducting a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). A focus group discussion (FGD) was carried out with a sample of 5 experts for research purposes. A non-test was the tool used in the FGD. The Ss-BL model consists of the Motivation, Observation, Real Experience, Implementation, Evaluation, Reflection phases. For all phases, a CFA value of 0.000 was obtained, that is, if the number is less than 2, it means that the Ss-BL model meets the goodness-of-fit model criterion. Among the innovative learning models suggested for entrepreneurial courses in vocational education, the Ss-BL model stands out as both a contribution to the advancement of knowledge and a viable option Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .407 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.407 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.407:id:1056294dm2024407 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Ariss Anass Author-Name-First: Ariss Author-Name-Last: Anass Author-Name: Ennejjai Imane Author-Name-First: Ennejjai Author-Name-Last: Imane Author-Name: Jamal Mabrouki Author-Name-First: Jamal Author-Name-Last: Mabrouki Author-Name: Soumia Ziti Author-Name-First: Soumia Author-Name-Last: Ziti Title: Optimizing a Novel Tracking System for Living Beings and Objects through Advanced Mathematical Modeling and Graph Theory Abstract: This study extends the formulation of a tracking system for both live items and living persons, and gives a thorough theoretical framework for an advanced tracking system. A large number of tracking systems in use today were created inside certain frameworks and designed to monitor in either infinite or restricted spatial contexts. The latter typically makes use of specialized technological instruments designed with tracking objects or living things in mind. Our contribution to this topic is the formulation of a system theory that both formulates and innovates the challenge of monitoring objects and living things. Graphical modeling is widely used in tracking, which is interesting because it makes it easier to create precise relationships between the objects that need to be tracked and other parts of the system. But our study argues that the best way to achieve a high-performing, contextually relevant, and flexible system in a range of scenarios is still to build a tracking system around graphs, both theoretically and practically. We provide a unique tracking method to further the discipline, based on the ideas of hypergraphs and graph learning. This method carefully examines the order between various linkages inside the system, allowing the system to fully use both direct and indirect relations. The way we formulate tracking is as a complex search problem on graphs and hypergraphs. In this case, the system's components—living things or objects—are represented by vertices, and the kinds of relationships that exist between them are indicated by edges. We present a governing law that facilitates different processing tasks, manages shared data across system parts, and defines the connections between vertices. Additionally, we provide illustrated examples covering single and multi-context tracking scenarios to support our work. These illustrations highlight how, in comparison to current tracking technologies, the suggested approach performs better theoretically. In addition to adding to the theoretical conversation, this discovery has potential applicability in a variety of tracking contexts Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .406 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.406 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.406:id:1056294dm2024406 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Mohammed AFTATAH Author-Name-First: Mohammed Author-Name-Last: AFTATAH Author-Name: Khalid ZEBBARA Author-Name-First: Khalid Author-Name-Last: ZEBBARA Title: Robust ConvNet-Kalman Filter Integration for Mitigating GPS Jamming and Spoofing Attacks Basing on Inertial Navigation System Data Abstract: GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most accurate system for various applications, especially in transportation. However, GPS is critically vulnerable due to its reliance on radio signals, which can be exploited by hackers through intentional attacks like spoofing and jamming, leading to potentially dangerous disruptions for both humans and services. Moreover, GPS systems can also experience accidental disruptions in urban environments, where signals from multiple satellites may be blocked by buildings, severely affecting the receiver's accuracy. This paper presents a robust method designed to mitigate GPS outages caused by both jamming and spoofing by integrating inertial data. The proposed method leverages two key components: convolutional neural networks (ConvNet) and the Kalman filter (KF). A carefully optimized deep layer in the ConvNet is employed to correct errors in the inertial navigation system (INS). The findings indicate a considerable enhancement in accuracy, with the proposed method reducing the RMSE by 77.68% compared to standalone GPS and by 98.34% compared to standalone INS. This significant improvement underscores the proposed approach's performance in maintaining reliable navigation in environments where GPS signals are compromised Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .405 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.405 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.405:id:1056294dm2024405 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Satya Prakash Author-Name-First: Satya Author-Name-Last: Prakash Author-Name: Anand Singh Jalal Author-Name-First: Anand Author-Name-Last: Singh Jalal Author-Name: Pooja Pathak Author-Name-First: Pooja Author-Name-Last: Pathak Title: Forecasting COVID-19 Pandemic – A scientometric Review of Methodologies Based on Mathematics, Statistics, and Machine Learning Abstract: Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is being regarded as a worldwide public health issue.

Approximately 3% to 8% of children aged 2 to 6 years have this disorder, and although a high percentage show spontaneous recovery, 20% do not. Early detection is crucial to facilitate intervention and improve recovery prognoses. This study aims to develop and validate an instrument for early detection of stuttering in children aged 2 to 2 years and 11 months, based on speech motor control and linguistic skills. Methods: A quantitative approach was adopted with a descriptive and cross-sectional design. An instrument was constructed that included questions about background and diagnosis, validated by experts using Aiken's V index. It was applied to a sample of 34 caregivers, analyzing internal consistency with Cronbach's Alpha. Results: The instrument showed a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.9360, indicating high reliability. Factor analysis revealed that the instrument measures a single dimension related to stuttering risk. Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant, and all items had saturations greater than 0.55. Conclusions: The developed instrument is consistent and reliable, allowing for early detection of stuttering. Its application will help caregivers identify the need for professional intervention, contributing to improving recovery prognoses in children at risk of stuttering Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .391 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.391 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.391:id:1056294dm2024391 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Asmaa Lamjid Author-Name-First: Asmaa Author-Name-Last: Lamjid Author-Name: Ariss Anass Author-Name-First: Ariss Author-Name-Last: Anass Author-Name: Imane Ennejjai Author-Name-First: Imane Author-Name-Last: Ennejjai Author-Name: Jamal Mabrouki Author-Name-First: Jamal Author-Name-Last: Mabrouki Author-Name: Ziti Soumia Author-Name-First: Ziti Author-Name-Last: Soumia Title: Enhancing the hiring process: A predictive system for soft skills assessment Abstract: Human Resource Management faces the ongoing challenge of identifying top-performing candidates to enhance organizational success. Traditional recruitment methods heavily rely on assessing hard skills alone, overlooking the importance of soft skills in identifying individuals who excel in their roles. To address this, our paper introduces a novel predictive model that leverages Artificial Intelligence in the hiring process. By analyzing soft skills extracted from CVs, cover letters, websites, professional social media, and psychometric tests, the model accurately predicts potential candidates suitable for specific job roles. This system effectively eliminates poor hiring decisions, reduces time and effort, minimizes recruitment costs, and mitigates turnover risks. The implementation of our proposed model employs various predictive machine learning classifiers, with key input soft skills including creativity, collaboration, empathy, curiosity, and critical thinking. Notably, the Support Vector Machine classifier emerges as the top-performing model in terms of predictive accuracy Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .387 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.387 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.387:id:1056294dm2024387 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Diego Cajamarca Carrazco Author-Name-First: Diego Author-Name-Last: Cajamarca Carrazco Author-Name: Edwin Rogelio Guanga Casco Author-Name-First: Edwin Rogelio Author-Name-Last: Guanga Casco Author-Name: Santiago Mauricio Salazar-Torres Author-Name-First: Santiago Mauricio Author-Name-Last: Salazar-Torres Author-Name: Danny Josue Montalvo Zambrano Author-Name-First: Danny Josue Author-Name-Last: Montalvo Zambrano Author-Name: Eleonora-Melissa Layana-Bajana Author-Name-First: Eleonora-Melissa Author-Name-Last: Layana-Bajana Author-Name: Winston Fernando Zamora Burbano Author-Name-First: Winston Fernando Author-Name-Last: Zamora Burbano Author-Name: María Magdalena Paredes Godoy Author-Name-First: María Magdalena Author-Name-Last: Paredes Godoy Title: Systematic review on sustainable management of natural resources with smart technologies for food production Abstract: Introduction: The environmental problems related to global warming, climate change, and alterations in natural resources deepen the food supply worldwide, so the applicability of cutting-edge digital technology raises viable alternatives for the transformation of the agricultural sector with generative, resilient, sustainable and adaptive practices to meet the challenges of food insecurity and malnutrition.

In order to take these factors into account, this paper proposes a two-tier generalised decision-making system (gBEDS) for biomass, with a database at its core, including basic biomass information and detailed decision-making information, in addition to a database of scenarios and a library of case studies that provide demonstrations for new users. On the basis of the database, the decision-making system includes a simulation module for the unit process (uP) and a genetic algorithm for optimising the decisions. With the help of a graphical interface, users can define their own biomass supply chain and evaluate it environmentally, economically, socially or otherwise; on the basis of a simulation and optimisation model of the whole life cycle of biomass production, the system uses data mining methods (fuzzy c-mean clustering and decision trees) to determine the optimal geographic location of the biomass raw material collection and storage and conversion plants. Madab was used to develop a computational model for biomass planning parameters (e.g. costs and c02 emissions) for the biomass supply chain. At the same time, a visual representation of the bioenergy conversion plant and storage data is made using Geographic Information Systems (GIs) to support users in making decisions based on intelligent outputs. Thus, gBEDS supports biomass national planners in developing an effective biomass production plan with comprehensive evaluation, and local designers and implementers in defining optimised, detailed unit processes to implement said plan.

Objective: The objective of this research is to analyze the distribution of VDR rs7975232 (ApaI) genotypes in Latin American populations and its relationship with genetic ancestry. Methods: 446 SNPs from an AIMs panel were used to estimate genetic ancestry proportions in individuals from Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Puerto Rico using STRUCTURE software. Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney tests and logistic regression were applied for analyses. Results: Risk genotypes AA and CA show a low proportion of Native American ancestry and a high proportion of European and African ancestry. Logistic regression indicated an inverse effect of Native American ancestry on risk genotypes. Conclusion: The results suggest that Native American ancestry decreases the likelihood of carrying VDR rs7975232 risk genotypes. These findings contribute to a better understanding of genetic variability and its relationship with health conditions in these populations.

However, in emerging countries like Vietnam, the level of ESG information disclosure is still in its infancy. Therefore, this research aims to identify the influence of factors on the level of ESG information disclosure of Vietnamese commercial banks. The article uses the GMM regression model to assess the impact of factors on the level of ESG information disclosure of 21 Vietnamese commercial banks in the period from 2018 to 2022. In which, the dependent variable is the level of information disclosure of Vietnamese commercial banks measured according to the International Fair Finance Guidelines Method. The results show that the disclosure level of Vietnamese commercial banks is greatly influenced by factors related to the characteristics of the banks. Among these, bank size, financial efficiency, and the level of competition among banks are factors driving banks to disclose ESG information. Conversely, banks with higher leverage tend to restrict ESG information disclosure. Additionally, among environmental factors such as corruption control, legal compliance, economic and social development, only corruption control and legal compliance have an impact on the level of ESG information disclosure by banks.

Many tracking systems are typically developed within specific frameworks, either for tracking in limited or unlimited space. The latter often relies on technical tools dedicated to tracking living beings or objects. In this study, we propose a system theory that formulates the task of tracking both living beings and ob- jects. Graphical modeling is widely employed in tracking to establish correct connections between the elements to be tracked and other com- ponents in the system. However, basing a tracking system on graphs in both its theoretical and practical aspects remains the optimal method for achieving a high-performing, relevant, and adaptable system in vari- ous situations. This paper introduces a tracking system based on graph learning and hypergraphs, fully leveraging direct and indirect relations while considering the order between multiple system links. Tracking is thus formulated as a search problem on graphs and hypergraphs, with vertices representing the elements of the system (living beings or ob- jects), and edges representing the types of connections between these elements. We define a law governing the relationships between the ver- tices, managing the shared data between the elements of the system and other processes. Furthermore, examples of single and multi-context track- ing situations demonstrate that the proposed system, in its theoretical foundation, outperforms existing systems.

The region of West Sumatra is also known as the ethalae of disasters with frequent earthquakes, floods, and landslides. In Indonesia, many frequency analyses are conducted using the Gumbel distribution without testing data and clear hydrological reasons. It is feared that this method is considered as a routine way, thus causing the risk of unwanted deviations, resulting in many disasters and errors in the planning of water buildings. This research aims to determine and know the type of distribution that is representative for the maximum daily rainfall frequency in West Sumatra and South Sumatra Provinces as a reference for development and disaster mitigation in the region. The research location is in West Sumatra and South Sumatra. The data used for this study were taken from daily maximum rainfall data from rain stations for 35 to 40 years from 24 rain stations in West Sumatra Province, and 16 rain stations for South Sumatra region. This type of research is development research with the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The development method consists of four different phases: Initial Investigation, Design, Realisation and Development. The data of each station was then organised into two types of data series, namely the annual maximum data series and the annual minimum data series. The results of this data series test are expected to follow one or more types of distributions commonly used in Hydrology and Drainage. The distribution results obtained for the South Sumatra region are Gama-III and LP-III, while for the West Sumatra region the distribution types are Gama-III, LP-III Normal Log and Gembel. The conclusion obtained is that West Sumatra does not have only one type of distribution. For the type of test using the SPSS.22 application, the results obtained are goodness of fit test, parametric test, Chi-Square test, Kolmogorov Smirnov test and Anderson-Darling test and Histrogram (visual) method.

Traditional solutions often lead to premature node failure due to non-adaptive network setups. Differential Evolution (DE) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) are two key evolutionary algorithms used for optimizing cluster head (CH) selection in WSNs to enhance energy efficiency and prolong network lifetime. Methods: This study compares DE and GA for CH selection optimization, focusing on energy efficiency and network lifespan. It also introduces an improved decryption method for the Paillier homomorphic encryption system to reduce decryption time and computational cost. Results: Experiments show GA outperforms DE in the number of rounds for the first node to die (FND) and achieves a longer network lifespan, despite fewer rounds for the last node to die (LND). GA has slower fitness convergence but higher population fitness values and significantly faster decoding speeds. Conclusion: GA is more effective than DE for CH selection in WSNs, leading to an extended network lifespan and better energy efficiency. Despite slower fitness convergence, GA's higher fitness values and improved decoding speeds make it a superior choice.

Early diagnosis and effective management are crucial for reducing its complications. Diabetes is the fourth-highest cause of mortality due to its association with various comorbidities, including heart disease, nerve damage, blood vessel damage, and blindness. The potential of machine learning algorithms in predicting Diabetes and related conditions is significant, and mining diabetes data is an efficient method for extracting new insights. The primary objective of this study is to develop an enhanced ensemble model to predict Diabetes with improved accuracy by leveraging various machine learning algorithms. This study tested several popular machine learning algorithms commonly used in diabetes prediction, including Naive Bayes (NB), Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Logistic Regression (LR), Fast Large Margin (FLM), Deep Learning (DL), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosted Trees (GBT), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The performance of these algorithms was compared, and two different ensemble techniques—stacking and voting—were used to build a more accurate predictive model. The top three algorithms based on accuracy were Deep Learning, Naive Bayes, and Gradient Boosted Trees. The machine learning algorithms revealed that individuals with Diabetes are significantly affected by the number of chronic conditions they have, as well as their gender and age. The ensemble models, particularly the stacking method, provided higher accuracy than individual algorithms. The stacking ensemble model achieved a slightly better accuracy of 99.94% compared to 99.34% for the voting method. Building an ensemble model significantly increased the accuracy of predicting Diabetes and related conditions. The stacking ensemble model, in particular, demonstrated superior performance, highlighting the importance of combining multiple machine learning approaches to enhance predictive accuracy Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .363 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.363 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.363:id:1056294dm2024363 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Al Qaysi Hamid Hazim Majid Author-Name-First: Al Qaysi Hamid Author-Name-Last: Hazim Majid Author-Name: Noor Fareen Abdul Rahim Author-Name-First: Noor Fareen Author-Name-Last: Abdul Rahim Author-Name: Ai Ping Teoh Author-Name-First: Ai Author-Name-Last: Ping Teoh Author-Name: Alhamzah Alnoor Author-Name-First: Alhamzah Author-Name-Last: Alnoor Title: Factors Influencing the Intention to Use Human Resource Information Systems Among Employees of SMEs in Iraq Abstract: Introduction: In light of technological development and digital transformation, today's Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) rely heavily on their ability to use technology to succeed.

However, ERP Implementation (ERPI) remains a complex process and represents a major challenge for many SMEs, surpassing even that of large companies. Consultants have experience in understanding the client's special needs, enabling them to put in place the right processes to meet those requirements, while ensuring that the client fully exploits the potential benefits offered by the ERP System (ERPS). Client-consultant conflict in ERPS is a major factor in the non-realization of benefits, which makes client-consultant agency management essential to realizing the benefits of ERP after implementation. There is currently no research examining how client-consultant relationship management can impact on the benefits of ERPI within SMEs. The aim of this research is to find out how the management of the client-consultant relationship affects the benefits of ERPS in Moroccan SMEs. This article applies the action research method in two companies, as well as a quantitative research approach using the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to examine data collected from 93 observations. The results are interpreted using IS success model and agency theory. This article presents four paths through which contracts agreements and strategies for conflict resolution contribute to the realization of benefits in ERP Projects (ERPP).

This study focused on comparing the GPT-3.5, GPT-4 and GPT-4o language models, evaluating their efficiency and performance in Natural Language Processing tasks such as text generation, machine translation and sentiment analysis. Using a controlled experimental design, the response speed and quality of the outputs generated by each model were measured. The results showed that GPT-4o significantly outperforms GPT-4 in terms of speed, completing tasks 25% faster in text generation and 20% faster in translation. In sentiment analysis, GPT-4o was 30% faster than GPT-4. Additionally, analysis of response quality, assessed using human reviews, showed that while GPT-3.5 delivers fast and consistent responses, GPT-4 and GPT-4o produce higher quality and more de-tailed content. The findings suggest that GPT-4o is ideal for applications that require speed and consistency, while GPT-4, although slower, might be preferred in contexts where text accuracy and quality are important.

Primarily, this task entails the processes of image augmentation and segmentation, which are executed by various neural network architectures, including multi-layer neural networks, artificial neural networks, and perceptron networks. These image classifiers employ distinct hyperparameters for the prediction and identification of objects. Nevertheless, these neural networks exhibit susceptibility to issues such as overfitting and a lack of interpretability when confronted with low-quality images. Objective: These limitations can be mitigated through the adoption of Quantum Computing (QC) methodologies, which offer advantages such as rapid execution speed, inherent parallelism, and superior resource utilization. Method: This approach aims to ameliorate the challenges posed by conventional Machine Learning (ML) methods. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are instrumental in reducing the number of parameters while preserving the quality of dataset images. They also possess the capability to automatically discern salient features and maintain robustness in noisy environments. Consequently, a novel approach known as Deep Revamped Quantum CNN (DRQCNN) has been developed and implemented for the purpose of categorizing images contained within the Fashion MNIST dataset, with a particular emphasis on achieving heightened accuracy rates. Results: In order to assess its efficacy, this proposed method is systematically compared with the traditional Artificial Neural Network (ANN). DRQCNN leverages quantum circuits as convolutional filters with a weight adjustment mechanism for multi-dimensional vectors. Conclusions: This innovative approach is designed to enhance image classification accuracy and overall system effectiveness. The efficacy of the proposed system is evaluated through the analysis of key performance metrics, including F1-score, precision, accuracy, and recall Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .358 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.358 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.358:id:1056294dm2024358 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Josue Pilco-Pezo Author-Name-First: Josue Author-Name-Last: Pilco-Pezo Author-Name: Maribel Paredes-Saavedra Author-Name-First: Maribel Author-Name-Last: Paredes-Saavedra Author-Name: Alcides Flores-Paredes Author-Name-First: Alcides Author-Name-Last: Flores-Paredes Author-Name: Mardel Morales-García Author-Name-First: Mardel Author-Name-Last: Morales-García Title: Translation and Validation of a Transformational Leadership Scale in Peruvian Public Servants Abstract: Background Transformational leadership has been identified as an essential component for success and innovation within the public sector, especially in the digital age and in the face of global challenges. This form of leadership, which seeks to change and inspire people, has been shown to be crucial for improving organizational performance and the quality of public services. However, the application of these principles in Peru faces specific challenges, and there is a notable lack of empirical research on this phenomenon in the Peruvian public sector, particularly in the evaluation of the tools used for its measurement. Objective This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Global Transformational Leadership (GTL) scale in a sample of Peruvian public servants. Methods An instrumental research design was adopted, using non-probabilistic sampling. The sample included 290 Peruvian public servants (M = 34.61, SD = 9.2), with an analysis that encompassed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability estimates. Results Descriptive analysis results indicated a high tendency to respond positively on the scale. The CFA confirmed the proposed unidimensional structure of the scale, with acceptable fit according to various indices (χ2 = 39.130, CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.03), and all factor loadings were significant and greater than 0.50, indicating a strong association with the transformational leadership dimension and exceptionally high internal consistency (α = 0.94). Conclusions The study confirmed that the GTL transformational leadership scale is a psychometrically robust tool and applicable to the Peruvian context. The unidimensional structure and high reliability of the scale suggest that it is suitable for measuring transformational leadership among public servants in Peru.

The danger of electrical and electronic waste disposal contains hazardous substances, but most of the electrical and electronic equipment is still disposed of in an unhealthy environment in the field development area, affecting the level of contamination in Water, Air and Soil ultimately affecting people’s health. Eliminating E-waste responsibility and protecting the environment is a challenge for countries. Smart cities can solve environmental problems through proper waste management for improving human health, protecting water resources, and reducing pollution. Objective; In this paper, we explore how blockchain technology can help smart cities to manage E-waste by providing consistency, immutability, transparency, and accountability control in a distributed, reliable, and secure manner. We discussed the advantages of blockchain technology in various aspects of E-waste management, such as instant tracking and monitoring, E-waste disposal and E-waste management regulation compliance, proper disposal management, E-waste management, and material handling, etc. All examples of disposal services, but in our study we have found that there is no fool proof system to check the disposal of E-waste whether it has been disposed off Fully or Partially. We mainly focused on the tracking of E-waste management system for 100% safe and eco-friendly disposal from the originating point of E-waste to end disposal point of total disposal. Methods; For this, we have used machine-learning model to find the existing percentage of disposal of E-waste at the end-point which reveals that it is never 100%. And partial disposal of E-waste means we have still partial E-waste around us in different forms, which will be a threat for the society to be indulged in hazardous after effects of randomly dumping E-waste. Results; After this we have modelled a Disposal Tracking System(DTS) using blockchain technology to create an E-waste data storage as Decentralized Shareable Ledger (DSL) which records the quantity and state of E-waste data from its originating point to a different level of disposal unit and finally reflect the balance of E-waste data as NIL at the end of last disposal point. Conclusion; This system will helpful for safe and ecofriendly E-waste management and it provides complete transparency and traceability of E-waste during the life cycle of complete disposal. After implementation of this system any district or Block or Village authority can ensure to its citizens for E-waste hazards free environment and safety of natural resources Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .355 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.355 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.355:id:1056294dm2024355 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Sergio V.

In Europe, the T allele (lactose tolerance) is prevalent in the north, while the C allele (lactose intolerance) is common in Asia and Africa. Methods: genotypes for rs4988235 were obtained from the 1000 Genomes Project database, selecting Latin American samples (Colombians, Mexican Americans, Peruvians, and Puerto Ricans). A total of 446 ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) were used to estimate genetic ancestry proportions. Shapiro-Wilks tests were conducted, and due to non-normality, non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Wilcoxon tests were applied. Results: the Shapiro-Wilks test indicated significant deviations from normality for Native-American (statistic=0.8787, p<0.05) and European ancestry proportions (statistic=0.9653, p<0.05). Kruskal-Wallis analysis showed significant differences in European (statistic=26.6696, p=1.62×10−6) and Native-American (statistic=13.4306, p=0.0012) ancestry proportions among genotypes. Post hoc Wilcoxon tests indicated significant differences between Intolerant (GG) and Heterozygous (GA) genotypes for both ancestries. Conclusions: the proportions of European and Native-American ancestry vary among genotypes of the rs4988235(C) polymorphism, suggesting the effect of admixture on the distribution of lactose intolerance in Latin American populations Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .354 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.354 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.354:id:1056294dm2024354 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Sergio V.

The FTO gene has been associated with obesity through several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), particularly rs9939609, related to higher body mass index (BMI) and risk of obesity. FTO variants influence the regulation of appetite and energy metabolism by affecting RNA methylation and the expression of key genes in adipogenesis. Objective: To investigate the association between the FTO rs9939609 SNP and genetic ancestry proportions in Latin American populations. Methods: Genotypes for rs9939609 were obtained using VcfTools and the 1000 Genomes Project database. Samples from Latin America were selected, covering four mixed populations: Colombians (n=94), Mexicans (n=64), Peruvians (n=85) and Puerto Ricans (n=104), totaling 347 individuals. To estimate genetic ancestry proportions, 446 SNPs from a panel of ancestry informative markers (AIMs) were used. Results: Individuals with the AA genotype of SNP rs9939609 have a higher proportion of Native American ancestry and a lower proportion of European ancestry compared to TT and AT genotypes. The variability in the proportions of ancestry according to the genotype of the SNP rs9939609 suggests a possible genetic stratification in the Latin American populations studied. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of considering ancestral composition in genetic studies related to obesity. More research is needed to understand how gene-environment interactions contribute to obesity in various populations, which could lead to more effective and targeted intervention strategies Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .353 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.353 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.353:id:1056294dm2024353 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Petar Halachev Author-Name-First: Petar Author-Name-Last: Halachev Title: The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on the Automation of Processes in Electronic Commerce Abstract: This study explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on automating business processes in electronic commerce (e-commerce), with a focus on enhancing efficiency and customer experience.

These various transformations have given rise to a new concept: artificial intelligence. With the introduction of artificial intelligence, work is being transformed, creating new challenges for organizations and leading to new HR practices in terms of recruitment, training, compensation, talent management and so on. For all these reasons, the mobilization of collective intelligence is ultimately becoming a priority for HR, insofar as it makes it possible to support transformation within organizations by means of agile methods. Against this backdrop of changing organizational practices, a number of questions arise: -What is artificial intelligence and how does it impact organizations? -What role can collective intelligence and artificial intelligence play in the evolution of the HR function? The aim of this theoretical research is to underpin the various concepts linked to these notions. We will also try to understand what is at stake in collective intelligence for HR, and how artificial intelligence can impact organizational practices.

Despite the blockchain-based providers designing systems that guarantee the transparency of the election, the new systems are not exempted from threats that hackers can leverage to influence the votes. This further supports the evidence presented that Blockchain based systems have progressed but there is always more that can be done especially in terms of further strengthening the transparency, security and authentications to minimize the existing risks. In order to support these vulnerabilities, we are proposing in this paper using zK-SNARK a scheme that meets the basic requirements of electronic voting and ensures the reliability and security of voting. In this scheme, a Merkle tree is used to store each voter’s ticket where the ticket hash is created and registered into the tree’s leaf. The voter then proves that they possess a valid ticket and are eligible to vote through zk-SNARK proof, which is very secure and efficient in verifying the voter’s authenticity. This approach keeps the voting process anonymous yet allows for a fast and secure method of authenticating the voters.

However, scheduling workload in a heterogeneous multi-cloud environment is a complicated process. Users of cloud services want to ensure that their data is secure and private, especially sensitive or proprietary information. Several research works have been proposed to solve the challenges associated with cloud computing. The proposed Adaptive Priority based scheduling (PBS) focuses on reducing data access completion time and computation expense for task scheduling in cloud computing. PBS assigns tasks depending on its size and selects the minimum cost path for data access. It contains a task register, scheduler, and task execution components for efficient task execution. The proposed system also executes a double signature mechanism for data privacy and security in data storage. This study correlates the performance of three algorithms, PBS, (Task Requirement Degree) TRD and (recommended a Risk adaptive Access Control) RADAC, in terms of task execution time and makespan time. The experimental results demonstrate that PBS outperforms TRD and RADAC in both metrics, as the number of tasks increases. PBS has a minimum task execution time and a lower makespan time than the other two algorithms Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 193 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024193 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:193:id:1056294dm2024193 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: G.

Since it can be incredibly difficult to determine the true cause of breast cancer, early diagnosis is crucial to lowering the disease's fatality rate. Early cancer detection raises the chance of survival by up to 8 %. Radiologists look for irregularities in breast images collected from mammograms, X-rays, or MRI scans. Radiologists of all levels struggle to identify features like lumps, masses, and micro-calcifications, which leads to high false-positive and false-negative rates. Recent developments in deep learning and image processing give rise to some optimism for the creation of improved applications for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. A methodological study was carried out in which a new Deep U-Net Segmentation based Convolutional Neural Network, named UNDML framework is developed for identifying and categorizing breast anomalies. This framework involves the operations of preprocessing, quality enhancement, feature extraction, segmentation, and classification. Preprocessing is carried out in this case to enhance the quality of the breast picture input. Consequently, the Deep U-net segmentation methodology is applied to accurately segment the breast image for improving the cancer detection rate. Finally, the CNN mechanism is utilized to categorize the class of breast cancer. To validate the performance of this method, an extensive simulation and comparative analysis have been performed in this work. The obtained results demonstrate that the UNDML mechanism outperforms the other models with increased tumor detection rate and accuracy Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 198 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024198 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:198:id:1056294dm2024198 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: El Houssaine Fathi Author-Name-First: El Houssaine Author-Name-Last: Fathi Author-Name: Ahlam Qafas Author-Name-First: Ahlam Author-Name-Last: Qafas Author-Name: Jouilil Youness Author-Name-First: Jouilil Author-Name-Last: Youness Title: Economic Growth Unleashed: The Power of Institutional Quality Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between economic growth and institutional quality in the context of the Moroccan economy. Using annual data from 1970 to 2020 and an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration approach, we analyze the long-run and short-run nexus between these two variables. The statistical tests performed, including the ADF and Phillips Perron tests, indicate integration at different orders, and the bounds cointegration test proposed by Pesaran was also conducted. The study finds that institutional quality has a positive short-term impact on economic growth. Furthermore, in the long term, the study reveals that institutional quality continues to positively influence economic growth in Morocco (P-value=0,01<5 %).

To avoid these problems, when designing and creating new fabrics, the densities and yarn qualities must be carefully matched with the weaves to ensure successful testing. To facilitate this task, this study focuses on the development of a practical fuzzy logic model for predicting the saturation of new fabrics. An experimental part was carried out to validate this fuzzy model. The fabric samples used in this study came from three different types of weaves, namely plain, twill and satin. These samples also included five weft counts (Nm) and eight different densities. The results obtained using the fuzzy logic model developed were compared with experimental values. The prediction results were satisfactory and precise, demonstrating the effectiveness of the fuzzy logic model developed. The mean absolute error of the calculated fuzzy model was 1,97 %. It was therefore confirmed that this fuzzy model was both fast and reliable for predicting the saturation of new fabric Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 251 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024251 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:251:id:1056294dm2024251 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Ana Karen Romero Author-Name-First: Ana Karen Author-Name-Last: Romero Author-Name: Deyanira Bernal Author-Name-First: Deyanira Author-Name-Last: Bernal Author-Name: Reyna Christian Sánchez Author-Name-First: Reyna Christian Author-Name-Last: Sánchez Title: Analysis of scientific information from a bibliometric approach between Chat GPT and Scopus: A comparative study Abstract: One of the main challenges faced by teachers, researchers, and students today is efficiently filtering reliable and useful information available on the internet, as well as in scientific academic databases.

It influences patient care quality and staff retention and is shaped by the work environment, working conditions, managerial support, and interactions among colleagues. However, there is limited research specifically addressing the job satisfaction of nurses in Peru, a critical area in health administration. Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the metric properties of the S20/23 job satisfaction scale among Peruvian nurses. Methods: an instrumental research design was employed using a non-probabilistic sample of 325 nurses from two hospitals in Lima, Peru. The Chilean version of the S20/23 scale was used, comprising four dimensions of job satisfaction (relationship with supervision, physical work space, professional fulfillment, and training and decision-making opportunities). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability tests using Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega. Results: the CFA revealed a satisfactory fit for the four-dimensional structure with 18 items (χ2 = 387,290, df = 124, p < ,001, CFI = 0,92, TLI = 0,90, RMSEA = 0,08, SRMR = 0,05). The scale also demonstrated high reliability for each dimension: relationship with supervision (α = 0,90, ꞷ = 0,87), physical work space (α, ꞷ = 0,92), professional fulfillment (α, ꞷ = 0,88), and training and decision-making opportunities (α = 0,88, ꞷ = 0,84), with acceptable factor loadings (>0,70). Conclusions: the adapted 18-item S20/23 scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing job satisfaction among Peruvian nurses. The study highlights the importance of specific job satisfaction dimensions, such as relationships with supervisors and professional development opportunities, in the Peruvian nursing context Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 260 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024260 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:260:id:1056294dm2024260 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: M.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms have increased the CVD prediction capability of clinical decision support systems. However, the shallow feature learning in machine learning and incompetent feature selection methods still pose a greater challenge. Consequently, deep learning algorithms are needed to improvise the CVD prediction frameworks. Methods: This paper proposes an advanced CDSS for CVD detection using a hybrid DL method. Initially, the Improved Hierarchical Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (IHDBSCAN), Adaptive Class Median-based Missing Value Imputation (ACMMVI) and Clustering Using Representatives-Adaptive Synthetic Sampling (CURE-ADASYN) approaches are introduced in the pre-processing stage for enhancing the input quality by solving the problems of outliers, missing values and class imbalance, respectively. Then, the features are extracted, and optimal feature subsets are selected using the hybrid model of Information gain with Improved Owl Optimization algorithm (IG-IOOA), where OOA is improved by enhancing the search functions of the local search process. These selected features are fed to the proposed Chaotic Rat Swarm Optimization-based Convolutional Neural Networks (CRSO-CNN) classifier model for detecting heart disease. Results: Four UCI datasets are used to validate the proposed framework, and the results showed that the OOA-DLSO-ELM-based approach provides better heart disease prediction with high accuracy of 97,57 %, 97,32 %, 96,254 % and 97,37 % for the four datasets. Conclusions: Therefore, this proposed CRSO-CNN model improves the heart disease classification with reduced time complexity for all four UCI datasets Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 262 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024262 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:262:id:1056294dm2024262 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Edwin Gustavo Estrada-Araoz Author-Name-First: Edwin Gustavo Author-Name-Last: Estrada-Araoz Author-Name: Yolanda Paredes-Valverde Author-Name-First: Yolanda Author-Name-Last: Paredes-Valverde Author-Name: Rosel Quispe-Herrera Author-Name-First: Rosel Author-Name-Last: Quispe-Herrera Author-Name: Néstor Antonio Gallegos-Ramos Author-Name-First: Néstor Antonio Author-Name-Last: Gallegos-Ramos Author-Name: Freddy Abel Rivera-Mamani Author-Name-First: Freddy Abel Author-Name-Last: Rivera-Mamani Author-Name: Alfonso Romaní-Claros Author-Name-First: Alfonso Author-Name-Last: Romaní-Claros Title: Investigating the attitude of university students towards the use of ChatGPT as a learning resource Abstract: Introduction: currently, the integration of innovative technologies plays a crucial role in students' academic formation.

Considered as a preliminary step for advanced remote sensing image tasks, haze removal becomes crucial. A novel approach is introduced with the objective of dehazing an image employing an encoder-decoder architecture embedded in a generative adversarial network (GAN). This innovative model systematically captures low-frequency information in the initial phase and subsequently assimilates high-frequency details from the remote sensing image. Incorporating a skip connection within the network serves the purpose of preventing information loss. To enhance the learning capability and assimilate more valuable insights, an additional component, the multi-scale attention module, is introduced. Drawing inspiration from multi-scale networks, an enhanced module is meticulously designed and incorporated at the network's conclusion. This augmentation methodology aims to further enhance the dehazing capabilities by assimilating context information across various scales. The material for fine-tuning the dehazing algorithm has been obtained from the RICE-I dataset that serves as the testing ground for a comprehensive comparison between our proposed method and other two alternative approaches. The experimental results distinctly showcase the superior efficacy of our method, both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Our proposed methodology performed better with respect to contemporary dehazing techniques in terms of PSNR and SSIM although it requires longer simulation times. So, it could be concluded that we contributed a more comprehensive RS picture dehazing methodology to the existing dehazing methodology literature Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 276 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024276 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:276:id:1056294dm2024276 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Vijaya Saradhi Thommandru Author-Name-First: Vijaya Author-Name-Last: Saradhi Thommandru Author-Name: T.

The scientific document has unlabeled text, so it's difficult to properly link it to a topic model. However, crafting a topic perception for a heterogeneous dataset within the domain of big data lakes presents a complex issue. The manual classification of text documents requires significant financial and human resources. Yet, employing topic modeling techniques could streamline this process, enhancing our understanding of word meanings and potentially reducing the resource burden. This paper presents a comparative study on metadata-based classification of scientific documents dataset, applying the two well-known machine learning-based topic modelling approaches, Latent Dirichlet Analysis (LDA) and Latent Semantic Allocation (LSA). To assess the effectiveness of our proposals, we conducted a thorough examination primarily centred on crucial assessment metrics, including coherence scores, perplexity, and log-likelihood. This evaluation was carried out on a scientific publications corpus, according to information from the title, abstract, keywords, authors, affiliation, and other metadata aspects. Results of these experiments highlight the superior performance of LDA over LSA, evidenced by a remarkable coherence value of (0,884) in contrast to LSA's (0,768) Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 282 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024282 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:282:id:1056294dm2024282 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Edwin Gustavo Estrada-Araoz Author-Name-First: Edwin Gustavo Author-Name-Last: Estrada-Araoz Author-Name: Yesenia Veronica Manrique-Jaramillo Author-Name-First: Yesenia Veronica Author-Name-Last: Manrique-Jaramillo Author-Name: Víctor Hugo Díaz-Pereira Author-Name-First: Víctor Hugo Author-Name-Last: Díaz-Pereira Author-Name: Jenny Marleny Rucoba-Frisancho Author-Name-First: Jenny Marleny Author-Name-Last: Rucoba-Frisancho Author-Name: Yolanda Paredes-Valverde Author-Name-First: Yolanda Author-Name-Last: Paredes-Valverde Author-Name: Rosel Quispe-Herrera Author-Name-First: Rosel Author-Name-Last: Quispe-Herrera Author-Name: Darwin Rosell Quispe-Paredes Author-Name-First: Darwin Rosell Author-Name-Last: Quispe-Paredes Title: Assessment of the level of knowledge on artificial intelligence in a sample of university professors: A descriptive study Abstract: Introduction: The knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) by university professors provides them with the ability to effectively integrate these innovative technological tools, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of the teaching and learning process.

However, these networks are exposed to potential threats affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Nowadays, the security of computer networks is based on tools and software such as antivirus software. Among the techniques used for machine protection, firewalls, data encryption, etc., were mentioned. These techniques constitute the first phase of computer network security. However, they remain limited and do not allow for full network protection. In this paper, a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) was proposed for binary classification. This model was based on ensemble learning techniques, where the base models were carefully selected in a first layer. Several machine learning algorithms were individually studied to choose the best ones based on multiple metrics, including calculation speed. The SMOTE technique was used to balance the data, and cross-validation was employed to mitigate overfitting issues. Regarding the approaches used in this research, a stacking and voting model was employed, trained, and tested on a UNSW-NB15 dataset. The stacking classifier achieved a higher accuracy of 96 %, while the voting approach attained 95,6 % Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 297 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024297 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:297:id:1056294dm2024297 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Milagros Maria Erazo-Moreno Author-Name-First: Milagros Maria Author-Name-Last: Erazo-Moreno Author-Name: Gloria María Villa-Córdova Author-Name-First: Gloria María Author-Name-Last: Villa-Córdova Author-Name: Geraldine Amelia Avila-Sánchez Author-Name-First: Geraldine Amelia Author-Name-Last: Avila-Sánchez Author-Name: Fabiola Kruscaya Quispe-Anccasi Author-Name-First: Fabiola Kruscaya Author-Name-Last: Quispe-Anccasi Author-Name: Segundo Sigifredo Pérez-Saavedra Author-Name-First: Segundo Sigifredo Author-Name-Last: Pérez-Saavedra Title: Social media and education: perspectives on digital inclusion in the university setting Abstract: Social networks have become pivotal in education, offering opportunities for inclusive learning experiences.

Most of these masses present asymptomatically and are discovered as an incidental finding in ultrasounds during pregnancy or at termination in the case of a cesarean section. Knowing the prevalence of fibroids in the pregnant population is of utmost importance to understand its possible impact on the health of the mother and fetus. Determining the prevalence and evolution of fibroids during pregnancy allows us to identify the number of women with this condition that may be affected by this pathology. The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and evolution of uterine fibroids during pregnancy and determine their complications in women between 20 and 45 years old at the Medical Center and Medical FOB Specialties of Guayaquil. From the results of this study it can be concluded that fibroids during pregnancy are related to maternal age and their size does not increase, but rather tends to decrease. Its association with pregnancy increases the risk of complications. Pregnant patients with fibroids have a higher risk of uterine atony and bleeding after cesarean section than patients who terminated their pregnancy by delivery. Understanding the prevalence of fibroids during pregnancy is crucial to improve knowledge, clinical management, and prevention and care strategies in this population.

The emergence of multi-state sleep states necessitates new optimization approaches. This paper proposes a novel energy optimization strategy for 5G heterogeneous networks (HetNets) that leverages macrocell-picocell coordination and machine learning. The proposed strategy focuses on managing the four available picocell sleep states. The picocell manages the first three states using the Q-learning algorithm, an efficient reinforcement learning technique. The associated macrocell based on picocell energy efficiency controls the final, deeper sleep state. This hierarchical approach leverages localized and network-wide control strengths for optimal energy savings. By capitalizing on macrocell-picocell coordination and machine learning, this work presents a promising solution for achieving significant energy reduction in 5G HetNets while maintaining network performance Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 333 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024333 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:333:id:1056294dm2024333 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Alexandra Marisol Barcia Maridueña Author-Name-First: Alexandra Marisol Author-Name-Last: Barcia Maridueña Author-Name: Iván Andrés Muñoz Mata Author-Name-First: Iván Andrés Author-Name-Last: Muñoz Mata Author-Name: Marcia Lisbeth Verdugo Arcos Author-Name-First: Marcia Lisbeth Author-Name-Last: Verdugo Arcos Author-Name: Thalía Lilibeth Figueroa Suárez Author-Name-First: Thalía Lilibeth Author-Name-Last: Figueroa Suárez Title: Public policies in Ecuador to mitigate violence against children and adolescents Abstract: The article focuses on examining public policies in Ecuador to mitigate violence against children and adolescents, this in the context that the rates of violence in the country have increased over the years and the ways in which they are produces are diverse, as well as the aggressors are no longer only found in the family environment but also in the school environment and in other areas where the minor has participation.

Traditional segmentation methods often struggle to accurately differentiate between the diverse types of tissues within the brain, such as white matter, grey matter, and cerebrospinal fluid, leading to suboptimal results in tumor identification and delineation. These limitations necessitate the development of more advanced and precise segmentation techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. In response to these challenges, the proposed study introduces a novel segmentation approach that combines the Grey Wolf Optimization approach and the Cuckoo Search approach within a Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) framework. The integration of GWO and CS is designed to leverage their respective strengths in optimizing the segmentation of brain tissues. This hybrid approach was rigorously tested across multiple Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) datasets, demonstrating significant enhancements over existing segmentation methods. The study observed a 4,9 % improvement in accuracy, 3,5 % increase in precision, 4,5 % higher recall, 3,2 % less delay, and 2,5 % better specificity in tumor segmentation. The implications of these advancements are profound. By achieving higher precision and accuracy in brain tumor segmentation, the proposed method can substantially aid in early diagnosis and accurate staging of brain tumors, eventually leading to more effective treatment planning and improved patient outcomes. Furthermore, the integration of GWO and CS within the FCM process sets a new benchmark in medical imaging, paving the way for future investigation in the field of study Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 408 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024408 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:408:id:1056294dm2024408 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Anber Abraheem Shlash Mohammad Author-Name-First: Anber Abraheem Author-Name-Last: Shlash Mohammad Author-Name: Mai Alshebel Author-Name-First: Mai Author-Name-Last: Alshebel Author-Name: Badrea Al Oraini Author-Name-First: Badrea Author-Name-Last: Al Oraini Author-Name: Asokan Vasudevan Author-Name-First: Asokan Author-Name-Last: Vasudevan Author-Name: Suleiman Ibrahim Shelash Mohammad Author-Name-First: Suleiman Ibrahim Author-Name-Last: Shelash Mohammad Author-Name: Huiying Jiang Author-Name-First: Huiying Author-Name-Last: Jiang Author-Name: Aktham Al Sarayreh Author-Name-First: Aktham Author-Name-Last: Al Sarayreh Title: Research on Multimodal College English Teaching Model Based on Genetic Algorithm Abstract: Analyzing College English texts is essential for quantitatively evaluating their grammar, phrases, and words to enhance their use in writing, conversation, and other contexts. The precise and clear use of College English words, phrases, and sentences is essential to knowledge-based and foundational learning systems. Text data analytics run into problems with data amount, data diversity, data integration and interoperability. It is challenging to accomplish human-computer interaction in spoken College English communication and to assist students with corrections using the conventional methodology of teaching College English. Therefore, this paper proposed the Genetic Algorithm-based intelligent English course optimization system (GA-IECOS) to handle the scheduling above issue of college English classes and optimize college English teaching courses. The results demonstrate that the conventional BP neural network's local scheduling optimization issue may be resolved using the multidirectional mutation genetic BP neural network method. Subsequently, a mix of formative and summative assessments will be used to establish a couple of groups to evaluate the effectiveness using a control population and a trial group of a GA-IECOS for English language classes using a multidirectional mutation genetic algorithm and an optimization neural network. The results demonstrate that the GA-IECOS algorithm is more effective in the classroom and may greatly improve students' English performance Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 421 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024421 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:421:id:1056294dm2024421 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Anber Abraheem Shlash Mohammad Author-Name-First: Anber Abraheem Author-Name-Last: Shlash Mohammad Author-Name: Khaleel Ibrahim Al- Daoud Author-Name-First: Khaleel Ibrahim Author-Name-Last: Al- Daoud Author-Name: Badrea Al Oraini Author-Name-First: Badrea Author-Name-Last: Al Oraini Author-Name: Suleiman Ibrahim Shelash Mohammad Author-Name-First: Suleiman Ibrahim Author-Name-Last: Shelash Mohammad Author-Name: Asokan Vasudevan Author-Name-First: Asokan Author-Name-Last: Vasudevan Author-Name: Jin Zhang Author-Name-First: Jin Author-Name-Last: Zhang Author-Name: Mohammad Faleh Ahmmad Hunitie Author-Name-First: Mohammad Faleh Ahmmad Author-Name-Last: Hunitie Title: Using Digital Twin Technology to Conduct Dynamic Simulation of Industry-Education Integration Abstract: The high accident rate in the construction industry has a major impact on how well projects turn out. Despite substantial investments in safety planning and supervision, there has been a marked increase in the construction industry's accident rate compared to other sectors. Serious games based on VR have recently been used in the study, suggesting that workers are now more safety conscious. However, these situations need many resources to create and are not always realistic. Hence this paper, Digital Twin-based Construction Safety Training Framework (DT-CSTF) with Artificial Intelligence (AI), has been proposed to monitor employees' emotional, mental, and physical well-being in real-time. The report sheds light on the significance of DT technology and its function in Industry 5.0. Using the Unity game engine, the proposed DT-CSTF creates a virtual reality-based training environment (VRTE) prototype that incorporates BIM, construction timetables, and safety requirements. Following this, the suggested structure enables gathering user data about risks and providing tailored feedback. Automated virtual reality game training scenarios are created using data given by digital twins on project intent, project status, safety requirements, and history. Both improved digital twins and periodic construction safety monitoring are anticipated to reap the benefits of dynamic virtual reality training.

In the case of warfarin, a widely used anticoagulant, the enzyme CYP2C9 is responsible for metabolizing its active enantiomer, S-warfarin. Method: the frequencies of the T allele of the SNP rs7089580 were analyzed in Latin American populations using data from the 1000 Genomes Project. Tools such as VCFtools were used to determine the frequency of the T allele and the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HW) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) between the SNP rs7089580 and the promoter SNP rs12251841 of the CYP2C9 gene were evaluated. Results: the frequencies of the T allele vary significantly between populations, with the Puerto Rican population presenting the highest frequency (17 %) and the Peruvian population the lowest (4 %). The results show that Latin American populations are in HW equilibrium, suggesting stability in genetic frequencies. Conclusions: the variability in the frequency of the T allele of the SNP rs7089580 in Latin American populations reflects the complex genetic mix of the region. The balance of HW and the strong linkage disequilibrium between the SNPs suggest that rs7089580 may be a useful marker to predict CYP2C9 expression and response to warfarin Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 440 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024440 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:440:id:1056294dm2024440 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Verenice Sánchez-Castillo Author-Name-First: Verenice Author-Name-Last: Sánchez-Castillo Author-Name: Rita Ávila Romero Author-Name-First: Rita Author-Name-Last: Ávila Romero Author-Name: Bernardo Gerardo Juárez Olascoaga Author-Name-First: Bernardo Gerardo Author-Name-Last: Juárez Olascoaga Title: Analysis of research trends on the implementation of information systems in the agricultural sector Abstract: The process of introducing computer systems in the agricultural sector, also known as Agriculture 4.0, seeks to optimize agricultural production and management at different stages of the agricultural production system.

The FTO gene variants significantly impact obesity susceptibility in different populations. The objective of the research was to analyze the genetic variability of the SNP rs1861868 in the FTO gene and its association with obesity in various populations. Method: genotype data from 1000 Genomes and allele frequencies from ALFRED were analyzed. Moran's I assessed spatial autocorrelation, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested using VCFtools, and ANOVA compared risk allele frequencies across continents. Results: Moran's I indicated no significant spatial autocorrelation globally, but higher concentrations of the risk allele were observed in Europe. ANOVA showed significant differences in risk allele frequencies among continents, with Europe having the highest frequency. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed within macro populations but not globally. Conclusions: regional variations significantly impact the distribution of the rs1861868 (T) risk allele. Evolutionary, historical, and demographic are candidate factors that shaped the genetic landscape of the FTO gene related to obesity Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 453 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024453 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:453:id:1056294dm2024453 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Valentyn Bannikov Author-Name-First: Valentyn Author-Name-Last: Bannikov Author-Name: Stanislav Petko Author-Name-First: Stanislav Author-Name-Last: Petko Author-Name: Oleksandr Semenov Author-Name-First: Oleksandr Author-Name-Last: Semenov Author-Name: Oleksandr Zhurba Author-Name-First: Oleksandr Author-Name-Last: Zhurba Author-Name: Kateryna Lohinova Author-Name-First: Kateryna Author-Name-Last: Lohinova Title: Analysis of the use of blockchain technologies and smart contracts to automate management processes and ensure sustainability Abstract: Introduction: this paper discusses and analyzes how blockchain technologies and smart contracts apply to automate assurance management processes with sustainability using a perspective model. The increase in demand for systems that are clear and secure in the automation of management processes calls for innovations such as blockchain and smart contracts. Objective: the objectives of the article are to identify the status of blockchain and smart contract adoption in many management processes; to consider the effect these technologies have on the efficiency, transparency, and sustainability of management operations. Methodology: we used regression and Markov analysis simulations to analyze the impacts of blockchain technologies on the management processes. The case study data were used to predict the long-term sustainability impacts, and simulations were carried out. Results: the regression established a positive but substantial effect of the adoption of blockchain technologies on the efficiency of management processes. 75 % of the efficiency score varies with the level of blockchain adoption. Simulations done using the Markov chain also showed that under the highest level of blockchain adoption, there is an effectivity of 90 percent where management processes would have improved and be efficient for the remaining ten years. The simulations also attested that partial adoption still offered a 70 % probability of sustained improvements. Conclusions: this paper provides strong evidence through regression analysis and Markov simulations showing the influence of these technologies. The ability of organizations to focus on innovative solutions toward sustainable management results is therefore realized Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 461 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024461 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:461:id:1056294dm2024461 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Hatim Lakhouil Author-Name-First: Hatim Author-Name-Last: Lakhouil Author-Name: Aziz Soulhi Author-Name-First: Aziz Author-Name-Last: Soulhi Title: Fuzzy Decision-Making Model for the inventory leveling under uncertainty conditionModelo de toma de decisiones difusa para la nivelación del inventario en condiciones de incertidumbre Abstract: The Option to create inventory is not always the optimal choice, due to the associated expenses and space requirements. Nevertheless, there are instances where a shortage of materials on customer lines can result in substantial financial penalties. This constant contradiction places supply chain managers in a perplexing predicament, especially when considering the amplification of inventory through the bullwhip effect as it moves across different stages. Moreover, the uncertain backdrop created by unforeseen events intensifies this already critical situation, compelling managers to seek new decision-making approaches. These approaches should enable the simulation of risks and the selection of suitable scenarios, particularly within the intricate domain of stochastic and dynamically evolving supply chains. The purpose of this study is to provide a new decision-making model rooted in the fuzzy logic concept introduced by Loutfi Zadeh in 1965. This model is applied to criteria assessed by experts, representing the most pertinent parameters for guiding inventory optimization. The chosen criteria encompass Lead Time, Equipment Production Reliability, and Warehousing Costs. This model exhibits the potential to unearth intricate patterns and associations among variables that conventional statistical methods struggle to reveal. Notably, the integration of fuzzy logic for inventory prediction yields promising outcomes, extendable to the realm of artificial intelligence, where comprehensive inference rules facilitate effective decision-making Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 142 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024142 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:142:id:1056294dm2024142 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Luz Castillo-Cordero Author-Name-First: Luz Author-Name-Last: Castillo-Cordero Author-Name: Milagros Contreras-Chihuán Author-Name-First: Milagros Author-Name-Last: Contreras-Chihuán Author-Name: Brian Meneses-Claudio Author-Name-First: Brian Author-Name-Last: Meneses-Claudio Title: Datamart for the analysis of information in the sales process of the company WC HVAC Engineering Abstract: Introduction: information has become a crucial asset for companies in decision making and performance evaluation.

Case for tackling school dropout in Morocco Abstract: Introduction: since 2008, Morocco's Tayssir program has been a key public initiative aimed at combating school dropout rates, by offering conditional cash transfers to households with school-aged children, particularly targeting rural communities with high poverty rates. This initiative seeks to ensure equitable access to education, regardless of socioeconomic status, and boosted school attendance rates. Objective: to assess the impact of the Tayssir program on reducing school dropout rates in rural Morocco and to examine the effectiveness of targeting strategies and incentives provided to families. Methods: the study utilized cross-sectional data from the Household Survey Panel Data. Propensity score matching (PSM) techniques were employed to estimate the program's impact on school dropout rates, comparing beneficiaries with a control group not participating in the program. Various statistical analyses were conducted to explore the characteristics of participants and to validate the logistic model used. Results: the propensity score matching analysis revealed a statistically significant reduction in school dropout rates among beneficiaries of the Tayssir program. The average treatment effect on the treated (ATET) demonstrated a decrease in dropout rates by approximately 43 % using one-to-one matching, 42,7 % with k-nearest neighbor, and 38,6 % via kernel matching methods. Furthermore, no significant gender differences were observed in the program's impact. Conclusions: the Tayssir program has significantly contributed to reducing school dropout rates in rural Morocco, ensuring better access to education for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. The program's effectiveness underscores the importance of targeted interventions and conditional cash transfers in promoting educational attainment. Future recommendations include expanding the beneficiary base, refining targeting mechanisms, and establishing a unified social registry to improve program governance Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 206 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024206 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:206:id:1056294dm2024206 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Rajendran Bhojan Author-Name-First: Rajendran Author-Name-Last: Bhojan Author-Name: Manikandan Rajagopal Author-Name-First: Manikandan Author-Name-Last: Rajagopal Author-Name: R Ramesh Author-Name-First: R Author-Name-Last: Ramesh Title: Big Data De-duplication using modified SHA algorithm in cloud servers for optimal capacity utilization and reduced transmission bandwidth Abstract: Data de-duplication in cloud storage is crucial for optimizing resource utilization and reducing transmission overhead. By eliminating redundant copies of data, it enhances storage efficiency, lowers costs, and minimizes network bandwidth requirements, thereby improving overall performance and scalability of cloud-based systems. The research investigates the critical intersection of data de-duplication (DD) and privacy concerns within cloud storage services. Distributed Data (DD), a widely employed technique in these services and aims to enhance capacity utilization and reduce transmission bandwidth. However, it poses challenges to information privacy, typically addressed through encoding mechanisms. One significant approach to mitigating this conflict is hierarchical approved de-duplication, which empowers cloud users to conduct privilege-based duplicate checks before data upload. This hierarchical structure allows cloud servers to profile users based on their privileges, enabling more nuanced control over data management. In this research, we introduce the SHA method for de-duplication within cloud servers, supplemented by a secure pre-processing assessment. The proposed method accommodates dynamic privilege modifications, providing flexibility and adaptability to evolving user needs and access levels. Extensive theoretical analysis and simulated investigations validate the efficacy and security of the proposed system. By leveraging the SHA algorithm and incorporating robust pre-processing techniques, our approach not only enhances efficiency in data de-duplication but also addresses crucial privacy concerns inherent in cloud storage environments. This research contributes to advancing the understanding and implementation of efficient and secure data management practices within cloud infrastructures, with implications for a wide range of applications and industries Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 245 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024245 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:245:id:1056294dm2024245 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Flor Damiano-Aulla Author-Name-First: Flor Damiano-Aulla Author-Name-Last: Flor Damiano-Aulla Author-Name: Jeydi Raqui-Rojas Author-Name-First: Jeydi Author-Name-Last: Raqui-Rojas Author-Name: Víctor D.

In this study, the validity and reliability of an organizational climate scale in agroindustrial companies in Peru was examined. Objective: to analyze the psychometric properties of an organizational climate scale adapted to Peruvian Spanish. Methods: A methodological study was carried out. Demographic data were collected, as well as responses to an organizational climate questionnaire. Results: the data were analyzed using confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA). The reliability of the instrument was high (α = 0,92). However, the factor loadings of several items were not adequate, so a unidimensional model was tested, then a model with adequate factor loadings, and finally an optimal model. In this last 9-item model, the fit was optimal, and the factor loading was adequate for all items. Conclusion: overall, the organizational climate scale demonstrated good reliability and validity in this context of agroindustrial companies in Peru. However, some items needed to be revised to improve the scale's accuracy. These findings provide a valuable tool for measuring the organizational climate in these types of companies and pave the way for future research in this field Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 257 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024257 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:257:id:1056294dm2024257 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Irma Chalco-Ccapa Author-Name-First: Irma Chalco-Ccapa Author-Name-Last: Irma Chalco-Ccapa Author-Name: Gaby Torres-Mamani Author-Name-First: Gaby Author-Name-Last: Torres-Mamani Author-Name: Mardel Morales-García Author-Name-First: Mardel Author-Name-Last: Morales-García Author-Name: Alcides A Flores-Saenz Author-Name-First: Alcides A Author-Name-Last: Flores-Saenz Author-Name: Liset Z.

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the factorial structure, reliability, and invariance by sex and age of the work performance scale in Peruvian nurses. Methods: confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the internal structure of the scale, and psychometric properties including reliability and convergent validity were determined. Additionally, factorial invariance was evaluated according to participants' sex and age. Results: the CFA supported the structure of three factors (Task Performance, Counterproductive Behaviors, Contextual Performance) and showed adequate and stable psychometric properties for a 12-item version (: χ2 = 231,09, df = 78; CFI = 0,97, TLI = 0,96, RMSEA = 0,06 (90 % CI: 0,05-0,06), and SRMR = 0,03). Strict factorial invariance was demonstrated for both sex and age, and adequate internal consistency was found for each dimension, as well as convergent validity. Conclusions: the work performance scale, in its 12-item version (IWPQ-P), is a valid and reliable measure for evaluating work performance in Peruvian nurses. Its factorial invariance by sex and age makes it a useful tool for future research and practical applications in nursing performance evaluation Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 259 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024259 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:259:id:1056294dm2024259 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Svitlana Marushchak Author-Name-First: Svitlana Author-Name-Last: Marushchak Author-Name: Iryna Fadyeyeva Author-Name-First: Iryna Author-Name-Last: Fadyeyeva Author-Name: Petar Halachev Author-Name-First: Petar Author-Name-Last: Halachev Author-Name: Nursultan Zharkenov Author-Name-First: Nursultan Author-Name-Last: Zharkenov Author-Name: Sergii Pakhomov Author-Name-First: Sergii Author-Name-Last: Pakhomov Title: The role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in forecasting economic trends Abstract: Introduction: The globalisation of the economy, dynamic changes in financial markets, and the advent of big data have spurred the development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools for forecasting economic trends.

Reliable real-time detection allows for traffic monitoring, safety enhancements and navigation aids. However, vehicle detection is a challenging computer vision task, especially in complex urban settings. Traditional methods using hand-crafted features like HAAR cascades have limitations. Recent deep learning advances have enabled convolutional neural networks (CNNs) like Faster R-CNN, SSD and YOLO to be applied to vehicle detection with significantly improved accuracy. But each technique has tradeoffs between precision and processing speed. Two-stage detectors like Faster R-CNN are highly accurate but slow at 7 FPS. Single-shot detectors like SSD are faster at 22 FPS but less precise. YOLO is extremely fast at 45 FPS but has lower accuracy. This paper reviews prominent deep learning vehicle detectors. It proposes a new integrated method combining YOLOv3 detection, optical flow tracking and trajectory analysis to enhance both accuracy and speed. Results on highway and urban datasets show improved precision, recall and F1 scores compared to YOLOv3 alone. Optical flow helps filter noise and recover missed detections. Trajectory analysis enables consistent object IDs across frames. Compared to other CNN models, the proposed technique achieves a better balance of real-time performance and accuracy. Occlusion handling and small object detection remain open challenges. In summary, deep learning has enabled major progress but enhancements in model architecture, training data and occlusion handling are needed to realize the full potential for traffic management applications. The integrated method proposed offers improved performance over baseline detectors.

A visionary perspective to reduce maternal mortality Abstract: Upright labor has proven to be a practice with multiple benefits, supported by both scientific research and clinical experience. This approach uses gravity to facilitate the baby's descent, improves fetal alignment and increases the efficiency of uterine contractions. As a result, it can speed up labor and decrease the need for medical interventions. It also offers women a greater sense of control and comfort during labor, enhancing their physical and emotional experience. From the newborn's perspective, upright delivery can aid in a smoother postnatal transition. Culturally, many indigenous communities have adopted this practice for centuries, based on a deep understanding of female anatomy and physiology. The reintroduction of these practices in the modern context shows a growing recognition of natural methods and a more holistic approach to obstetric care. By combining these techniques with evidence-based medicine, significant advances can be made in reducing maternal mortality and improving the birth experience for women and their newborns.

Sentiment Analysis (SA), a branch of Natural Language Processing (NLP), employs statistical, lexical, and machine learning methods to predict audience emotions—neutral, positive, or negative—in response to diverse social media content. However, a notable research gap persists due to the lack of robust tools capable of quantifying features and independent text essential for assessing primary audience emotions within large-scale social media datasets. This study addresses the gap by introducing a novel approach to analyse the relationships within social media texts and evaluate audience emotions. A Dense Layer Graph (DLG-TF) model is proposed for textual feature analysis, enabling the exploration of intricate interconnections in the media landscape and enhancing emotion prediction capabilities. Social media data is processed using advanced convolutional network models, with emotion predictions derived from analysing textual features. Experimental results reveal that the DLG-TF model outperforms traditional emotion prediction techniques by delivering more accurate predictions across a broader emotional spectrum. Performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure, are assessed and compared against existing methodologies, demonstrating the superiority of the proposed model in utilizing social media datasets effectively Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .222 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.222 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.222:id:1056294dm2024222 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Wilter C.

Attitudes toward AI, defined as workers’ perceptions and beliefs about its utility and effectiveness, are critical for its adoption and efficient use in clinical settings. Factors such as age, marital status, and education level may influence this relationship, affecting job performance. This study examines the influence of attitude toward AI on job performance with AI among Peruvian nurses, while also assessing how sociodemographic characteristics moderate this relationship. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used with a sample of 249 Peruvian nurses aged 24 to 53 years (M = 35.58, SD = 8.3). Data were collected using two validated scales: the Brief Artificial Intelligence Job Performance Scale (BAIJPS) and the Attitude toward Artificial Intelligence Scale (AIAS-4). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and multiple linear regression were applied. A significant positive correlation was found between attitude toward AI and job performance with AI (r = 0.43, p < 0.01). Age (β = -0.177, p < 0.05), divorced marital status (β = -8.144, p < 0.01), and having a bachelor’s degree (β = -3.016, p < 0.05) were negatively associated with job performance, while being from the Selva region had a positive effect (β = 4.182, p < 0.05). A favorable attitude toward AI positively influences nurses’ job performance, highlighting the need for interventions that enhance AI perception. Age, marital status, and education moderate this relationship, suggesting AI adoption strategies should be tailored to different demographic groups.

The purpose of this study was to examine the level of knowledge and difficulties of 124 pre-service English teachers at a public university in Ecuador about dyslexia. Data were collected in three different courses from 6th to 8th level from a public university and analyzed using SPSS 27.0 through descriptive statistics, Chi test, and Kruskall Wallis test, taking into account the participant’s scores from the Knowledge and Beliefs about Developmental Dyslexia Scale (KBDDS). A Spanish-adapted version by Betancor (2022) of the original version by Soriano-Ferrer and Echegaray-Bengoa (2014). The results showed that the participants still did not have enough knowledge about dyslexia. Also, a thorough analysis of gender and level variables was conducted and showed that there was no significant effect. These results suggest the need to promote courses and include the topic of dyslexia for future English teachers in their classes to prepare them to provide more inclusive teaching Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .219 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.219 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.219:id:1056294dm2024219 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Rodolfo Matius Mendoza Poma Author-Name-First: Rodolfo Matius Author-Name-Last: Mendoza Poma Author-Name: Milton Alberto Sampedro Arrieta Author-Name-First: Milton Alberto Author-Name-Last: Sampedro Arrieta Author-Name: Freddy Anaximandro Álvarez Lema Author-Name-First: Freddy Anaximandro Author-Name-Last: Álvarez Lema Author-Name: Manuel Antonio Abarca Zaquinaula Author-Name-First: Manuel Antonio Author-Name-Last: Abarca Zaquinaula Title: Analysis of technological tools for tourism in the Pichincha province Abstract: The purpose of the research was to analyze the technological tools used by tourists visiting the province of Pichincha before and during the pandemic. The research approach is quantitative, relational and comparative with an analysis before and during the confinement. The selection of tourist attractions was based on the MINTUR guide. The population was unknown, so we worked with an infinite population. The survey technique was applied. The Kolmogorov Smirnov Normality test was used to measure the degree of concordance of the information collected. The Wilcoxon test was applied. A non-parametric test was also performed, for which the Speraman correlation coefficient was used. With the results, it was determined that the most used technological tools were the computer with 61.56% and the cell phone with 34.03% of acceptance by tourists during the pandemic. Another factor was the most used platforms, where social networks stood out with 77.92%. It is evident that during the confinement tourists made use of technological tools to search for tourist sites in the province of Pichincha Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .218 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.218 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.218:id:1056294dm2024218 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Marcia Janeth Chiluisa Chiluisa Author-Name-First: Marcia Janeth Author-Name-Last: Chiluisa Chiluisa Author-Name: Olga Lorena González Ortiz Author-Name-First: Olga Lorena Author-Name-Last: González Ortiz Author-Name: Marco Paul Beltran Semblantes Author-Name-First: Marco Paul Author-Name-Last: Beltran Semblantes Title: L1 Interference in English Major Students’ Pronunciation at Technical University of Cotopaxi Abstract: This study aims to investigate the impact of mother tongue interference (Spanish) on the pronunciation of the phoneme /d/ in different positions among seventh-semester students majoring in English at the Technical University of Cotopaxi. The study employs a mixed approach with a correlational design. The correlation between the variables allows for the analysis of the quantifiable relationship between Spanish as a mother tongue interference and the quality of the pronunciation of the phoneme /d/ in English. The degree and direction of this correlation will help determine whether and to extent the interference has a significant impact on pronunciation. The findings of the study shed light on the challenges faced by students when pronouncing words with the phoneme /d/ in different positions. In the initial position, the interference is characterized by the transference of Spanish tongue positions and aspiration tendencies, leading to the production of [d] instead of the standard English sound, information detailed in the results and discussion section. In the middle position, students exhibit a tendency to apply Spanish flapping and elision patterns, resulting in the articulation of a tap or alveolar flap [ɾ] instead of the expected English sound. In the final position, the influence of Spanish leads some students to voice the English final /d/ even when English requires voicelessness, indicating the persistence of L1 interference. The results emphasize the importance of addressing specific phonetic and phonological aspects that arise due to mother tongue interference in pronunciation training. Understanding the intricate interplay between L1 influence and the articulation of the phoneme /d/ can lead to targeted interventions that enhance students' pronunciation skills and contribute to their overall communicative competence in English Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: .217 Volume: 3 Year: 2024 DOI: 10.56294/dm2024.217 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:3:y:2024:i::p:.217:id:1056294dm2024217 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Oscar Bladimir Velasco Panchi Author-Name-First: Oscar Bladimir Author-Name-Last: Velasco Panchi Author-Name: Jirma Elizabeth Veintimilla Ruiz Author-Name-First: Jirma Elizabeth Author-Name-Last: Veintimilla Ruiz Author-Name: Luis David Moreano Martínez Author-Name-First: Luis David Author-Name-Last: Moreano Martínez Author-Name: Isabel Regina Armas Heredia Author-Name-First: Isabel Regina Author-Name-Last: Armas Heredia Title: Analysis of innovation competencies and the creation of entrepreneurship Abstract: The research explores the role of innovation competencies in the university environment and its influence on the creation of entrepreneurship, in the Ecuadorian context.

Self-efficacy refers to one's confidence in their ability to use AI, while AI-related anxiety pertains to the fear or concern when interacting with these systems. These variables can influence technological dependence, affecting academic performance and emotional well-being. Objective: This study aims to examine the influence of self-efficacy in AI use and anxiety toward AI on AI dependence among Peruvian university students. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 528 Peruvian university students aged 18 to 37 years (M = 19.00, SD = 3.84). Scales were used to measure AI self-efficacy, anxiety toward AI, and AI dependence. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were applied to identify predictors of technological dependence. Results: The results showed that AI self-efficacy was positively correlated with AI anxiety (r = 0.43, p < .01) and AI dependence (r = 0.61, p < .01). Anxiety also significantly correlated with AI dependence (r = 0.71, p < .01). Multiple regression analysis revealed that both AI anxiety (β = 1.131, p < .001) and AI self-efficacy (β = 0.610, p < .001) predicted AI dependence. Additionally, business administration students exhibited greater dependence compared to students from other fields (β = 1.025, p < .05). Conclusions: Students with higher self-efficacy in AI use tend to utilize AI more frequently but also experience greater anxiety and dependence on AI. Educational interventions should focus on reducing AI-related anxiety to prevent excessive dependence, especially among students.

This study assessed nutritional risk in 35 patients with prior informed consent, using a validated questionnaire, and analyzing its sensitivity and specificity. The study revealed that 65.7% are malnourished, with 48.6% underweight, especially children (72.7%) and adults (54.5%). In addition, 5.7% of patients, especially young people, are obese (16.7%). The application of the “Nutritional Screening Initiative” questionnaire showed that 66.7% are at nutritional risk, requiring improved eating habits. The correlation analysis indicated a significant association between BMI and nutritional risk. The ROC curve indicated a low discriminatory capacity, although the sensitivity was high (91.7%), correctly identifying cases at nutritional risk. However, at other thresholds, decision-making is almost random, as indicated by the sensitivity and specificity. It is concluded that the ROC curve suggested limitations in the capacity to discriminate nutritional risk, with a high sensitivity but moderate specificity. It is crucial to implement personalized nutritional interventions and improve classification models to more accurately identify risk in this population.

Weeds compete with the crop for nutrients, minerals, physical space, sunlight, and water, causing problems in crops ranging from low production to economic losses and environmental deterioration of the land. Weed quantification is generally a manual process requiring significant time and precision. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are very common in weed quantification. Thus, the purpose of this research is the adaptation of the ResNeXt50 CNN architecture for semantic segmentation tasks, focused on the automatic quantification of weeds (Broadleaf dock, Dandelion, Kikuyo grass, and other unidentified classes) in potato fields using RGB images acquired by the DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone. The analytical model was trained following the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) methodology using Python and the TensorFlow-Keras frameworks. The results indicate that the modified ResNeXt50 model presented a mean IoU of 0.7350, a performance comparable to the values reported by other authors considering fewer weed classes. The Student´s t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient were applied to contrast the weed coverage from the model predictions and the ground truth, indicating no statistically significant differences between both measurements in most weed classes.

Considering this advantage, this article proposes to develop a mobile application for the registration of academic attendance using advanced artificial intelligence technologies such as Multitasking Cascade Convolutional Networks (MTCNN) in facial detection, MobileFaceNet in facial feature extraction (facial vector) and the Euclidean distance function in the calculation of similarity between obtained vectors. MobileFaceNet was evaluated in Python, using a personalized dataset of top-level students of the Software career of the Universidad Técnica del Norte, achieving an accuracy of 98.9% and 99.4% in LWF. The models were then integrated into a mobile app developed with Android Studio. Finally, the time required to register attendance was compared using the university academic platform (SIIU) and the facial recognition mobile application. The benchmarking showed a 24-second reduction of 33% in attendance registration time.

The SIIU plays a crucial role in academic management by integrating key modules, such as executive, faculty, and student portfolios. Despite its long-standing implementation, a comprehensive assessment of the system's performance and its impact on academic activities had not been conducted until now. The research specifically focuses on assessing the SIIU's impact from the students' perspective, applying the six dimensions of the DeLone and McLean model: system quality, information quality, service quality, use/intention to use, user satisfaction, and net impacts. Four assessments were carried out over two years (May 2022, February 2023, July 2023, and July 2024), using a 28-item survey to measure these dimensions. The findings confirm the validity of the DeLone and McLean model in evaluating information systems and reveal a positive trend in students' perceptions of the "SIIU – Student Portfolio" over the past years. The results also provide a detailed breakdown of the system's strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, as experienced by students. These insights offer valuable guidance for the SIIU management team, facilitating targeted improvements to optimize the system’s contribution to the university’s academic environment.

In the first stage the noises and interferences that disturb sEMG signals were analyzed to implement a digital filter in a low-cost embedded system that filters these signals. It was shown that the noises and interferences are caused by various sources. Sources of interference and noise can be divided into internal and external. Internal noise is caused by the electrodes, EMG signals of other muscles, and noise associated with the functioning of other organs such as the heart or stomach. The external noises are due to the electrical environment, the most prominent of which is the direct interference of the power hum, produced by the incorrect grounding of other devices and electromotors. For the analysis of the digital filter, sEMG signals from the biceps muscle were used when the elbow joint was at rest and during flexion and extension movements. Signals from 10 participants who did not have any atrophies or pathologies in the muscle were considered for this stage. Denoising of sEMG signals was performed using different wavelets; the smallest error was observed when using the biorthogonal wavelet 3/5 of level 6 with the soft thresholding method. The wavelet filter was implemented using the V-model, and the Processor in The Loop (PIL) tests helped to determine the characteristics of the embedded system where the digital filter was implemented. The digital filter code was implemented on an ESP32 board due to its processing speed of 328 ms.

Timely and precise cancer detection is crucial for optimal treatment decisions, and machine learning and deep learning techniques offer a promising solution for expediting this process. In this research, a pre-trained neural network, specifically AlexNet, was fine-tuned with modifications to four layers to adapt it to a dataset comprising histopathological images of lung and colon tissues. Additionally, a Bayesian optimization approach was employed for hyperparameter tuning in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to enhance recognition accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency. The research utilized a comprehensive dataset divided into five classes, and in cases of suboptimal results, a Counteracting Suboptimal Image Processing (CSIP) strategy was applied, focusing on improving images of underperforming classes to reduce processing time and effort.

Pilot study and instrument proposal Abstract: Introduction: cognitive accessibility is part of the general accessibility framework. Cognitive accessibility means that services are simple, consistent, clear, multimodal, error tolerant, and focused, with all users in mind. Objectives: to validate a questionnaire on cognitive accessibility to be applied to health professionals. Methods: the study is of a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental and cross-sectional design, developed between March and June 2022. The sample consisted of 130 health professionals from Argentina, selected through purposive sampling. Results: the validation process was carried out in three stages. Internal consistency analysis (reliability) was performed using Cronbach's Alpha. The descriptive results with the 17 items showed a variance of 4,445 for each item, a total variance of 13,049, with a total Cronbach's Alpha of 0,701, indicating that the instrument presents internal consistency. Conclusions: it was possible to verify that the scores of both Cronbach's Alpha and the factorial analysis allow us to affirm that the instrument has the necessary metric aspects to be used in future research, considering that it had a prior assessment by expert criteria. It can be assumed that this article becomes the starting point for future studies, in which it is intended to continue the line of research, which allows the analysis of cognitive accessibility in the context of health professionals Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 22 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202322 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:22:id:1056294dm202322 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: William Castillo González Author-Name-First: William Author-Name-Last: Castillo González Title: Evaluation of the scientific production of the Instituto de Investigaciones en Microbiología y Parasitología Médica (UBA-CONICET) Abstract: Introduction: SciVal is a bibliometric tool used to assess the scientific output of institutions, such as the Institute of Research on Medical Microbiology and Parasitology (IMPaM), doubly dependent on Buenos Aires University (UBA) and the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET). IMPaM studies medical microbiology and parasitology and has many research projects. Assessing it through SciVal will make it possible to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses to improve the scientific output at that institution. Goal: assess the scientific output of IMPaM with SciVal, describing the methodology, results, conclusions, and recommendations to improve research at that institution. Methods: the scientific production was analyzed, examining the research areas, the influence of that institution in the field of study, financing, and available resources. A database of researchers was used to carry out the analysis, and the scientific output was compared with similar institutions. Results: the study found that more than one-half of the articles of that Institution are open access, and fostering their publication in open access journals without any embargo period is suggested. Besides, it was stressed that the most representative thematic areas are related to the social object of that Institution and that international collaboration is essential to scientific research. Finally, a decrease in citations by publication was noticed, keeping the impact of weighted citations by field, which suggests that the articles keep their relevance in their area. Conclusions: IMPaM researches and publishes in Medicine, Immunology and Microbiology, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Even though the number of open-access articles is large, it is below average in the Impact of Weighted Citations by Field, and it is necessary to strengthen the international collaboration links and widen thematic diversity to keep their relevance in scientific research Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 23 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202323 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:23:id:1056294dm202323 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Denis Gonzalez Argote Author-Name-First: Denis Author-Name-Last: Gonzalez Argote Title: Thematic Specialization of Institutions with Academic Programs in the Field of Data Science Abstract: Introduction: data science careers are on the rise due to the growing demand for technical skills in this area. Data science careers focus on collecting, organizing, and analyzing data to identify patterns and trends, which allows organizations to make informed decisions and develop effective solutions. Aim: to analyze the thematic specialization of institutions with academic programs in the area of data science. Methods: the Scopus database was used to conduct a bibliometric analysis aimed at examining the thematic specialization of institutions with academic programs in the field of data science. SciVal, a bibliometric analysis tool, was employed to extract the relevant data. The study period ranged from 2012 to 2021. Results: nine higher education institutions were found to offer undergraduate or graduate degrees in the field of data science. There was no correlation found between RSI and Field-Weighted Citation Impact (r=0,05355; P=0,8912; 95%CI: -0,6331 to 0,6930). Therefore, it cannot be claimed that specialization in the subject area studied influences the greater impact of research. On the other hand, recent accreditation did not influence greater specialization (r=0,1675; P=0,6667; 95%CI: -0,5588 to 0,7484). Additionally, no differences were found regarding academic level. Conclusions: the analysis of the thematic specialization of institutions with academic programs in the field of data science shows low scientific production in this field. Moreover, more than half of the analyzed higher education institutions have thematic specialization below the global average. This suggests that there is still a long way to go for these institutions to achieve adequate specialization and compete internationally in the field of data science Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 24 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202324 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:24:id:1056294dm202324 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Carlos Alberto Gómez Cano Author-Name-First: Carlos Alberto Author-Name-Last: Gómez Cano Author-Name: Verenice Sánchez Castillo Author-Name-First: Verenice Author-Name-Last: Sánchez Castillo Author-Name: Tulio Andrés Clavijo Gallego Author-Name-First: Tulio Andrés Author-Name-Last: Clavijo Gallego Title: Mapping the Landscape of Netnographic Research: A Bibliometric Study of Social Interactions and Digital Culture Abstract: Introduction: netnography is a research method that has emerged in response to the growing popularity of online communication and social networks.

Objective: describe the relative cost per published article and citation received for articles published by authors affiliated with CONICET. Methods: a bibliometric study was carried out in which the scientific production of CONICET was analyzed in the Scopus database and the CONICET budget from 2016 to 2021. Results: a decrease in the CONICET budget was observed, only recovering in the last year but without reaching the historical maximum studied. On the other hand, as previously mentioned, it was commented that the citations decreased despite the increase in the number of articles. Faced with this panorama, the theoretical cost of an article and that of a bibliographical citation can be presented. So, for example, for the year 2021, the cost of publishing an article was 41014,09 USD, and the cost of a citation was 9442,77 USD. Conclusions: we cannot minimize the budgetary expenses of a government institution of thousands of workers to simple final products that are articles when in between are the expenses of salaries, awareness campaigns, building construction and its maintenance or things that have nothing to do with it. With science (or yes) how to pay the water bill of an institute; but if we can get closer to a theoretical cost of the articles and citations produced by Argentine scientists Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 29 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202329 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:29:id:1056294dm202329 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Jorge Márquez Molina Author-Name-First: Jorge Author-Name-Last: Márquez Molina Author-Name: Jhossmar Cristians Auza Santivañez Author-Name-First: Jhossmar Cristians Author-Name-Last: Auza Santivañez Author-Name: Edwin Cruz Choquetopa Author-Name-First: Edwin Author-Name-Last: Cruz Choquetopa Author-Name: Jose Bernardo Antezana Muñoz Author-Name-First: Jose Bernardo Author-Name-Last: Antezana Muñoz Author-Name: Osman Arteaga Iriarte Author-Name-First: Osman Author-Name-Last: Arteaga Iriarte Author-Name: Helen Fernández Burgoa Author-Name-First: Helen Author-Name-Last: Fernández Burgoa Title: Early prediction of acute kidney injury in neurocritical patients: relevance of renal resistance index and intrarenal venous Doppler as diagnostic tools Abstract: Introduction: Implementing renal POCUS in critical care is a valuable tool complementing the physical examination of critical patients. As it is noninvasive, accessible, innocuous, and economical, it makes it possible to assess, at the bedside of patients, renal perfusion via ultrasound measurements such as the renal resistance index (RRI) and intrarenal venous Doppler (IRVD), which are considered early predictors of the acute renal lesion. Goals: Determine the relationship between the renal resistance index (RRI) and the degree of acute renal lesion according to KDIGO in neurocritical patients. Correlate the alterations to intrarenal venous Doppler (IRVD) flow with the degree of the acute renal lesion, according to KDIGO. Methods: An observational, analytical, prospective, longitudinal study was carried out in an ICU with an influx of neurocritical patients. Forty-three (43) patients participated. Their renal resistance index (RRI) and intrarenal venous Doppler (IRVD) were measured upon admission, 72 hours later, and 7 days after admission. Which of these tools better predicts acute renal lesions according to KDIGO was assessed. Results: In the study with 43 critical patients, no significant correlation was found between the RRI value and the acute renal lesion, according to KDIGO. On the contrary, a significant relation was found between intrarenal venous Doppler (IRVD) upon admission, 72 hours later, and 7 days after admission with the acute renal lesion according to KDIGO, with a value of r: 43=0.95 (P=0.54); 0.49 (P=0.001); 0.58 (P=0.000). When analyzing via the classification tree, it was determined that the variables better predicting the risk of suffering from an acute renal lesion before its occurrence are the measurement of intrarenal venous Doppler (IRVD) 7 days after admission and the value of the accumulated water balance. Conclusions: There is a positive and significant correlation between intrarenal venous Doppler (IRVD) and the acute renal lesion. Intrarenal venous Doppler (IRVD) and the accumulated water balance better predict the risk of suffering from an acute renal lesion in critical patients. In contrast, the renal resistance index (RRI) was unrelated to the acute renal lesion in the studied population Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 30 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202330 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:30:id:1056294dm202330 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Eduardo Enrique Chibas Muñoz Author-Name-First: Eduardo Enrique Author-Name-Last: Chibas Muñoz Author-Name: Annier Jesús Fajardo Quesada Author-Name-First: Annier Jesús Author-Name-Last: Fajardo Quesada Author-Name: Karina Vidal Díaz Author-Name-First: Karina Author-Name-Last: Vidal Díaz Author-Name: Nayaxi Reyes Domínguez Author-Name-First: Nayaxi Author-Name-Last: Reyes Domínguez Title: Data-driven decision-making to improve the diagnosis of cancer patients in the province of Guantanamo: a case study of epidemiological behavior during the year 2019 Abstract: Introduction: cancer is a disease caused by neoplastic cells that multiply uncontrollably, invading other tissues autonomously and at a distance.

Methods: searches were carried out, in September 2021, on the MedArxiv, OSF, and SciELO preprints platforms, looking for publications in preprint format by all Brazilian researchers of graduate programs in dentistry (n=211) who were productivity fellows in 2021 (PQ). Searches were performed by typing the authors’ full names and the possible variations, as indicated by each author's curriculum, openly available on the Lattes website platform. The Friedman test, with the Durbin-Conover post-hoc (α=0,05) was applied in order to compare the three platforms. Spearman's correlation test (α=0,05) was performed to assess the possible correlations between the number of preprints and age, career stage, and the researcher’s scholarship level variables. Results: from the 211 researchers searched, 22 (10,4 %) published 1 (one) preprint on at least one platform. A total of 39 published preprints were found at MedArxiv (n=19, 48,7 %), SciELO preprints (n=18, 46,2 %), and OSF platforms (n=2, 5,1 %). There was no difference between the adherence to MedArxiv and SciELO preprints (p = 0,731). However, the OSF platform presented the lowest adherence, statistically differing from MedArxiv (p=0,008) and SciELO preprints platforms (p=0,003). In addition, no correlation was found between the publication of preprints and the researcher's age (p=0,128), career stage (p=0,248), or the researcher's scholarship level (p=0,661). Conclusion: it was possible to observe a low adherence to the preprints’ publications by Brazilian researchers’ productivity fellows of graduate programs in dentistry Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 60 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202360 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:60:id:1056294dm202360 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Louridi Nabaouia Author-Name-First: Louridi Author-Name-Last: Nabaouia Author-Name: Samira Douzi Author-Name-First: Samira Author-Name-Last: Douzi Author-Name: El Ouahidi Bouabid Author-Name-First: El Ouahidi Author-Name-Last: Bouabid Title: Explainable machine learning for coronary artery disease risk assessment and prevention Abstract: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is an increasingly prevalent ailment that has a significant impact on both longevity and quality of life. Lifestyle, genetics, nutrition, and stress are all significant contributors to rising mortality rates. CAD is preventable through early intervention and lifestyle changes. As a result, low-cost automated solutions are required to detect CAD early and help healthcare professionals treat chronic diseases efficiently. Machine learning applications in medicine have increased due to their ability to detect data patterns. Employing machine learning to classify the occurrence of coronary artery disease could assist doctors in reducing misinterpretation. The research project entails the creation of a coronary artery disease diagnosis system based on machine learning. Using patient medical records, we demonstrate how machine learning can help identify if an individual will acquire coronary artery disease. Furthermore, the study highlights the most critical risk factors for coronary artery disease. We used two machine learning approaches, Catboost and LightGBM classifiers, to predict the patient with coronary artery disease. We employed various data augmentation methods, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational Autoencoders (VAE), to solve the imbalanced data problem. Optuna was applied to optimize hyperparameters. The proposed method was tested on the real-world dataset Z-Alizadeh Sani. The acquired findings were satisfactory, as the model could predict the likelihood of cardiovascular disease in a particular individual by combining Catboost with VAE, which demonstrated good accuracy compared to the other approaches. The proposed model is evaluated using a variety of metrics, including accuracy, recall, f-score, precision, and ROC curve. Furthermore, we used the SHAP values and Boruta Feature Selection (BFS) to determine essential risk factors for coronary artery disease Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 65 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202365 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:65:id:1056294dm202365 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Mohammed Moutaib Author-Name-First: Mohammed Author-Name-Last: Moutaib Author-Name: Mohammed Fattah Author-Name-First: Mohammed Author-Name-Last: Fattah Author-Name: Yousef Farhaoui Author-Name-First: Yousef Author-Name-Last: Farhaoui Author-Name: Badraddine Aghoutane Author-Name-First: Badraddine Author-Name-Last: Aghoutane Author-Name: Moulhime El Bekkali Author-Name-First: Moulhime Author-Name-Last: El Bekkali Title: Extraction of fetal electrocardiogram signal based on K-means Clustering Abstract: Fetal electrocardiograms (ECG) provide crucial information for the interventions and diagnoses of pregnant women at the clinical level. Maternal signals are robust, making retrieval and detection of Fetal ECGs difficult.

In his theory, he described specific patterns in nature that could be formed from basic chemical systems. Turing in his previous studies in the theory of computation, he had constantly worked on symmetrical patterns that could be formed simultaneously and realized the necessity for further analysis of pattern formation in biological problems. However, it was until the late 1960s, when John Conway was the first to introduce the "Game of Life", an innovative mathematical game based on cellular automata, having a purpose to utilize the fundamental entities, called as cells, in two possible states described as "dead" or "alive". This paper tries to contribute to a better understanding of the "Game of Life" by implementing algorithmic approaches of this problem in PASCAL and Python programming languages. Also, inside the paper numerous variations and extensions of the Conway's Game of Life are proposed that introduce new ideas and concepts. Furthermore, several machine learning algorithms to learn patterns from large sets of Game of Life simulations and generate new rules or strategies are described in detail Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 95 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202395 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:95:id:1056294dm202395 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Daniel Cristóbal Andrade Girón Author-Name-First: Daniel Cristóbal Author-Name-Last: Andrade Girón Author-Name: William Joel Marín Rodriguez Author-Name-First: William Joel Author-Name-Last: Marín Rodriguez Author-Name: Marcelo Zúñiga Rojas Author-Name-First: Marcelo Author-Name-Last: Zúñiga Rojas Author-Name: Edgar Tito Susanibar Ramirez Author-Name-First: Edgar Tito Author-Name-Last: Susanibar Ramirez Author-Name: Irina Patricia Calvo Rivera Author-Name-First: Irina Patricia Author-Name-Last: Calvo Rivera Title: Quality Management System for Higher Education: A Systematic Review Abstract: Global organizations currently face the challenge of managing massive volumes of data and knowledge efficiently.

Addressing the limitations of traditional methods, such as reliance on handcrafted features, sensitivity to small datasets, limited adaptability, and scalability issues, deep learning enables accurate disease detection, real-time monitoring, and precision agriculture practices. Its ability to analyze and extract features from images, handle multimodal data, and adapt to new data patterns paves the way for a more sustainable and productive agricultural future. This study evaluates six pre-trained deep-learning models designed for stage-wise classification of white-scale date palm disease (WSD). The study assesses key metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity to training data volume, and inference time to identify the most effective model for accurate WSD stage-wise classification. For model development and assessment, we employed a dataset of 1,091 colored date palm leaflet images categorized into four distinct classes: healthy, low infestation degree, medium infestation degree, and high infestation degree. The results reveal the MobileNet model as the top performer, demonstrating superior accuracy and inference time compared to the other models and state of the art methods. The MobileNet model achieves high classification accuracy with only 60 % of the training data.

This is the cause of deaths whose incidence is unfortunately increasing. Unfortunately, these deaths are not always accidental. Pesticides are also used as a means of suicide; according to the WHO, these are means suicide chemicals most used in the world, since, out of the 800 000 suicides recorded per year, more than a third are caused by this type of product. Even more serious, these suicides are currently being observed among children and teenagers. Faced with this alarming figure, and in order to prevent deaths and improve emergency treatment of cases of pesticide poisoning, it becomes important to use the potential of artificial intelligence in the treatment of these admissions. Our approach is essentially based on machine learning algorithms, including decision support software capable of predicting, based on major clinical signs, the most likely pesticide responsible of the intoxication in the triage room.

As the number of IoT-based devices continues to grow at an exponential rate, this technology has the potential to improve nearly every aspect of daily life, from smart networks and transportation to home automation and agriculture. However, the absence of adequate security measures on all levels of the IoT poses a significant security risk, with the potential for cyber-attacks and data theft. While scholars have suggested various security measures, there are still gaps that need to be addressed. In this study, we analyzed previous research and proposed metamodels for security, IoT, and machine learning. We then proposed a new IoT-based smart agriculture model with integrated security measures to mitigate cyber- attacks and increase agricultural output. Our model takes into account the unique features of the smart farming domain and offers a framework for securing IoT devices in this specific application area. Moreover, in order to mitigate a range of cyber security attacks across various layers of IoT, we introduced two certificate-based schemes named CBHA and SCKA for smart agriculture.

Additionally, security testing utilizing scyther affirms the resilience and security of both CBHA and SCKA, establishing them as viable options for ensuring security in smart agriculture Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 155 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023155 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:155:id:1056294dm2023155 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Ahmed Bichri Author-Name-First: Ahmed Author-Name-Last: Bichri Author-Name: Hamid Mazouz Author-Name-First: Hamid Author-Name-Last: Mazouz Author-Name: Souad Abderafi Author-Name-First: Souad Author-Name-Last: Abderafi Title: Study of phosphoric acid slurry rheological behavior in the attack reactor and development of a model to control its viscosity using artificial intelligence Abstract: This work aims to determine the rheological properties of the industrial phosphoric acid slurry and its behavior under the operating conditions of the phosphoric acid production process. For that, several experimental tests on the slurry were carried out, using a Rheometer (Anton Paar), which testing the effect of temperature and solid content. The results show that, for a fixed solids rate, the viscosity of the slurry decreases with temperatures from 75°C to 82°C and increases for temperatures above 82°C considered as the maximum temperature required by the process. This phenomenon is due to the morphological change of the gypsum which corresponds to the range of calcium sulfate hemihydrate formation. For a fixed temperature, the viscosity increases with increasing slurry solid content (31 % to 37 %). The viscosity increases with the shear gradient. Increasing the solid charge in the slurry increases its resistance to flow and movement. Thus, the slurry has a higher tendency to settle. A comparative study of four rheological models, Casson, Bingham, Ostwald and Herschel-Buckley, led to the selection of the Herschel-Bulkley model. This predicts the behavior of the phosphate slurry with a correlation coefficient of 99,9 % and a MAE less than 4 %. Overall, the results show that the threshold flow of the slurry is negligible, and its behavior is nonlinear. Thus, the slurry is a non-Newtonian fluid, with a dilatant rheological behavior. The various tests carried out enabled us to measure the viscosity of the phosphoric acid suspension for different solids contents and at different temperatures. The results obtained enabled us to study the rheological behavior and develop an artificial neural network model to control the viscosity of the slurry at the phosphoric acid attack tank Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 160 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023160 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:160:id:1056294dm2023160 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Mr. Rohit Author-Name-First: Mr. Author-Name-Last: Rohit Author-Name: Kapil Sethi Author-Name-First: Kapil Author-Name-Last: Sethi Author-Name: Mudassir Khan Author-Name-First: Mudassir Author-Name-Last: Khan Author-Name: Ashish Raina Author-Name-First: Ashish Author-Name-Last: Raina Title: Machine Learning Model for Prediction of the Chemicals Harmfulness on Staff and Guests in the Hospitality Industry: A Pilot Study Abstract: This article examines the trend around the adoption of machine learning in the hotel business in light of the significance of new technologies.

Technological advancements have facilitated the transformation of healthcare data into electronic health records (EHRs). These digital records are disseminated among various stakeholders, including patients, healthcare professionals, providers, insurance companies, and pharmacies. Given the sensitivity of healthcare information, the assimilation of new technologies is paramount. Blockchain technology, with its immutable nature and decentralized features, has emerged as a promising solution to instigate changes in the healthcare system. In the healthcare domain, where confidentiality is crucial, strict regulations are in place to safeguard patient privacy. Frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are designed to mitigate the risks associated with health data breaches. Although blockchain's characteristics, such as enhanced interoperability, anonymity, and access control, can improve the overall landscape of health data management, it is imperative for blockchain applications to adhere to existing regulatory frameworks for practical implementation. This paper delves into the examination of the compliance of blockchain-based EHR systems with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR. Additionally, it introduces a Blockchain-based EHR model specifically crafted to seamlessly align with regulatory requirements, ensuring its viability and effectiveness in real-world scenarios Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 166 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023166 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:166:id:1056294dm2023166 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Sohaib Khalid Author-Name-First: Sohaib Author-Name-Last: Khalid Author-Name: Driss Effina Author-Name-First: Driss Author-Name-Last: Effina Title: Quantifying Urban Dynamics: An Investigation of Employment Mobility, Spatial Proximity, and Residential Attractiveness in Moroccan Small Cities Applying Data Science Methods Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to delve into the intricate interplay between workforce mobility and the spatial proximity to agglomerations, and their collective impact on the residential attractiveness of small cities in Morocco. Initially, we meticulously estimated the net migration rate, a robust and widely acknowledged metric within scholarly discourse, employed to gauge the territorial magnetism. Subsequently, employing this metric as the dependent variable, we embarked on a thorough examination of how the mobility of the workforce and territorial proximity to agglomerations synergistically shape the attractiveness of small cities. The assessment of the net migration rate unearthed a pattern of dispersion, a phenomenon that catalyzed our adoption of quantile regression modeling. Therefore, our rigorous analysis has unveiled a compelling revelation: the geographical proximity of small cities exerts a pronounced influence on their allure. Specifically, a closer adjacency to agglomeration zones invariably results in an augmented residential attractiveness. Furthermore, our research has discerned a robust correlation between heightened workforce mobility and an amplified migratory interest in small Moroccan cities. These compelling findings challenge the prevailing notion that the residential magnetism of small cities in Morocco hinges solely on their socio-economic profile. Instead, it underscores the profound impact wielded by their spatial disposition and the dynamic movements of the workforce Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 167 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023167 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:167:id:1056294dm2023167 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Abdelhamid El Beghdadi Author-Name-First: Abdelhamid Author-Name-Last: El Beghdadi Author-Name: Mohammed Merzougui Author-Name-First: Mohammed Author-Name-Last: Merzougui Author-Name: Ahmad El Allaoui Author-Name-First: Ahmad Author-Name-Last: El Allaoui Title: Gray Level Homogeneity Analysis: A Novel Approach Abstract: In this article, we propose a method that helps us to analyze the homogeneity of gray levels locally by calculating a coefficient for each pixel based on the nature of neighboring pixels.

This allows us to detect the different regions of the image and their contours based on the coefficient of homogeneity of the gray levels. In addition, this allows us to exploit these homogeneity coefficients to restructure regions of the image, extract and enhance the image contours while reducing the noise present in the image.

In several fields, the advent of handwriting recognition technology is highly anticipated. OCR technology has made it possible for computers to recognize characters as visual objects and collect data about their unique characteristics in recent years. In particular, several studies in this field have focused on Arabic writing. The use of machines to examine handwritten papers is the first step in the character identification process. The identification of specific Arabic characters is the main goal of this particular investigation. In computer vision, Arabic character recognition is very important since it's necessary to correctly recognize and classify Arabic letters and characters in manuscripts. In this research, an innovative approach based on identifying Arabic character characteristics using BoVW (bag of visual words) and SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) features is proposed. These features are clustered using k-means clustering to produce a dictionary. Following that, SVM (Support Vector Machine) is utilized to classify the word images in a visual codebook created using these terms. The proposed approach is an innovative method to deal with the difficulties associated with Arabic hand-writing recognition. The utilization of BoVW and SIFT features is expected to enhance the system's robustness in recognizing and classifying Arabic characters. The proposed approach will be experimentally evaluated using a dataset that includes a variety of Arabic characters written in various styles. The results of this study will offer important new perspectives on the effectiveness and practicality of the approach suggested Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 176 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023176 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:176:id:1056294dm2023176 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Mohamed Rida Fethi Author-Name-First: Mohamed Author-Name-Last: Rida Fethi Author-Name: Othmane Farhaoui Author-Name-First: Othmane Author-Name-Last: Farhaoui Author-Name: Imad Zeroual Author-Name-First: Imad Author-Name-Last: Zeroual Author-Name: Ahmad El Allaoui Author-Name-First: Ahmad Author-Name-Last: El Allaoui Title: A Progressive Approach to Arabic Character Recognition Using a Modified Freeman Chain Code Algorithm Abstract: Arabic character identification presents a significant obstacle to the comprehension and analysis of Arabic text.

One of the drawbacks of this approach is its performance depends on the size of the dictionary or database. In the case of domain specific conversion, a simple rule -based technique is used to play pre-recorded audio for each equivalent token. It is easy to design but its limitation is mapping with the sound database and availability of the audio file in the database. In general, grapheme to phoneme conversion can be used in any domain. Advantages are the limited size of the database required, ease of mapping and compliance with domain. However, G2P suffers from pronounce ambiguity (formation of audio output). This paper will discuss about the grapheme-to -phoneme mapping and its application in text to speech conversion system.

Aim: to describe from a gender perspective the scientific production in the academic journals of Cuban medical universities, period 2017-2021. Method: a descriptive bibliometric study was carried out. The universe consisted of all the academic journals of Cuban medical universities in the period 2017-2021, they were reviewed between December 2022 and March 2023. The sampling was non-probabilistic and the sample was 19. Only regular numbers were considered. Results: women were 19 % of the magazine directors and 44 % of the editorial board composition. 57,5 % of the editorials were written by men. 2,6 % of the articles dealt with the gender approach. 61,8 % of the authors were women and 38,2 % were men. Women were 55,7 % of the lead authors. In 32,3 % of the articles, women predominated as authors and 23,7 % were written only by women; gender equality represented 14,1 %. Conclusions: an empowerment of women in Cuba is evident as they are the majority within scientific production in medical universities. However, this is not reflected in the direction of the magazines and the composition of their editorial committees, where men predominate, nor in publications with a gender focus, which is still insufficient Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 199 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023199 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:199:id:1056294dm2023199 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Younes Jamouli Author-Name-First: Younes Author-Name-Last: Jamouli Author-Name: Samir Tetouani Author-Name-First: Samir Author-Name-Last: Tetouani Author-Name: Omar Cherkaoui Author-Name-First: Omar Author-Name-Last: Cherkaoui Author-Name: Aziz Soulhi Author-Name-First: Aziz Author-Name-Last: Soulhi Title: A model for Industry 4.0 readiness in manufacturing industries Abstract: In the context of digital transformation, to assess the current state of manufacturing companies, a readiness model is proposed in this paper. Using a literature review and a framework considering maturity as an 'input' enabler and not as an 'output'. Three dimensions are considered in this model (Organization maturity, Technology maturity, and Process Maturity), to assess the company readiness (Ready or Not ready). Allowing compagnies to identify their readiness for Industry 4.0 (I4.0) adoption, by developing a decision support model, is the goal of this research. This model based on Fuzzy Inference System, considers the three decision criteria and then ranks the enterprise according to its output indicator. For the validation of this proposed model, an experimental study was conducted to assess the readiness of 2 manufacturing companies, a multinational in automotive sector and an SME in Apparel sector. The proposed model meets the desired objective and is therefore retained for the evaluation of the readiness to I4.0 in different manufacturing contexts Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 200 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023200 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:200:id:1056294dm2023200 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Asmaa BENCHAMA Author-Name-First: Asmaa Author-Name-Last: BENCHAMA Author-Name: Khalid ZEBBARA Author-Name-First: Khalid Author-Name-Last: ZEBBARA Title: Novel Approach to Intrusion Detection: Introducing GAN-MSCNN-BILSTM with LIME Predictions Abstract: This paper introduces an innovative intrusion detection system that harnesses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Networks (MSCNNs), and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks, supplemented by Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) for interpretability. Employing a GAN, the system generates realistic network traffic data, encompassing both normal and attack patterns. This synthesized data is then fed into an MSCNN-BiLSTM architecture for intrusion detection. The MSCNN layer extracts features from the network traffic data at different scales, while the BiLSTM layer captures temporal dependencies within the traffic sequences. Integration of LIME allows for explaining the model's decisions. Evaluation on the Hogzilla dataset, a standard benchmark, showcases an impressive accuracy of 99,16 % for multi-class classification and 99,10 % for binary classification, while ensuring interpretability through LIME. This fusion of deep learning and interpretability presents a promising avenue for enhancing intrusion detection systems by improving transparency and decision support in network security Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 202 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023202 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:202:id:1056294dm2023202 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Rayda Villalobos Castro Author-Name-First: Rayda Author-Name-Last: Villalobos Castro Author-Name: Segundo Ríos Ríos Author-Name-First: Segundo Author-Name-Last: Ríos Ríos Author-Name: Fernando Ochoa Paredes Author-Name-First: Fernando Author-Name-Last: Ochoa Paredes Author-Name: Miguel Vargas Tasayco Author-Name-First: Miguel Author-Name-Last: Vargas Tasayco Author-Name: Yrene Uribe Hernandez Author-Name-First: Yrene Author-Name-Last: Uribe Hernandez Title: Balanced scorecard in the business development of MSMEs in the district of San Vicente de Cañete Abstract: Introduction: This research was carried out on the topic: “Balanced scorecard in the business development of MSMEs in the district of San Vicente de Cañete, 2021”.

Recognizing this problem, this study aims to set policy priorities to strengthen official development assistance (ODA) at local government level in Korea. Accordingly, we analysed the important issues relating to ODA projects at local government level by performing topic modelling analysis method. On the basis of these analysis results, policy priorities were derived using the AHP method. The analysis suggests that in Korea, in order to revitalize ODA projects at local government level, a dedicated department that can professionally handle these projects must be established within each local authority. Furthermore, it is important to recruit and deploy professional administrators who can utilize these dedicated departments to discover new ODA projects Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 204 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023204 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:204:id:1056294dm2023204 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Andrés Sebastián Guevara Pabón Author-Name-First: Andrés Sebastián Author-Name-Last: Guevara Pabón Author-Name: Erika Marcela León Revelo Author-Name-First: Erika Marcela Author-Name-Last: León Revelo Author-Name: Leonel Gerardo Ruano Yarpaz Author-Name-First: Leonel Gerardo Author-Name-Last: Ruano Yarpaz Title: Proposal for a vaccination scheme for children based on risk factors identified in the province of Imbabura, Ibarra Cantón Abstract: In Ecuador there are risk factors that make it impossible for mothers with children to be vaccinated against different diseases. The objective of the research was to propose a comprehensive vaccination scheme based on the factors that may affect its implementation by the residents of the province of Imbabura, canton Ibarra. The research was carried out in a quantitative, transversal, descriptive, correlational modality with the support of analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, historical-logical and systemic methods with the application of a survey which was processed in the SPPS. 58 % of the mothers surveyed do not comply with the regular schedule for fear of contagion, with 45 % there are almost always biological in the health units when they have attended a scheduled appointment, 47 % stated that they do not have enough time to several reasons, with 69 % at the moment having some knowledge about the vaccines that are administered to infants and as a last factor is that 58 % of the people surveyed, their children under 5 years of age lack vaccines, this concludes that there are many factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the child population, causing them to fall behind in the regular schedule, causing children to have no defenses to combat the different diseases that vaccines protect us, so it is important the intervention of mothers of families and/or legal guardians to comply with the immunization schedule Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 212 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023212 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:212:id:1056294dm2023212 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: María Eugenia Paredes Herrera Author-Name-First: María Eugenia Author-Name-Last: Paredes Herrera Author-Name: Oswaldo Damián Miranda Rosero Author-Name-First: Oswaldo Damián Author-Name-Last: Miranda Rosero Author-Name: Adriana Nicole Tobar Peñaherrera Author-Name-First: Adriana Nicole Author-Name-Last: Tobar Peñaherrera Author-Name: María de los Ángeles Salazar Durán Author-Name-First: María de los Ángeles Author-Name-Last: Salazar Durán Title: Analysis of epigenetic knowledge in the management of periodontal diseases Abstract: The most common periodontal diseases worldwide are periodontitis and gingivitis. These are infections that affect the structures that support and protect the teeth, known as the supporting periodontium and the protective periodontium, respectively. Despite being so prevalent and having a considerable impact, there is a significant lack of clear and accessible information aimed at the general public about the processes that give rise to them, especially with regard to genetic and epigenetic aspects. This study investigated the relationship between epigenetic knowledge and periodontal health in the population of Los Ríos, examining how understanding epigenetic factors can influence the management of periodontitis and gingivitis, common periodontal diseases that affect the supporting structures and tooth protection. Despite the clinical importance of these disorders, there is a notable lack of accessible information on their underlying genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. The study used surveys and interviews to assess knowledge of epigenetics among residents, and descriptive and inferential statistical analyzes revealed a significant association between epigenetic knowledge and advanced oral health practices. The majority of respondents were found to have limited knowledge about epigenetics, highlighting the urgent need for focused educational programs. Those with a deeper understanding showed more proactive and personalized oral health practices. These findings underscore the importance of epigenetics education as a key strategy to improve periodontal health in the community Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 226 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023226 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:226:id:1056294dm2023226 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Laydi Diana Milagros Caycho Araujo Author-Name-First: Laydi Diana Milagros Author-Name-Last: Caycho Araujo Author-Name: Miriam Viviana Ñañez Silva Author-Name-First: Miriam Viviana Author-Name-Last: Ñañez Silva Title: Implementation of biosafety protocols in tourist services: Perception and resilience of key actors Abstract: This research addressed the analysis of the perception and resilience of key actors in the implementation of biosecurity protocols to enhance tourist services in risky situations.

Objective: this study seeks to critically evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative coagulation tests to predict bleeding complications in elective non-cardiac surgeries, in order to validate their clinical relevance and adjust practices to real needs based on solid evidence. Method: a meta-analysis approach was employed to synthesize data from multiple studies examining the correlation between preoperative coagulation testing and intra- and postoperative bleeding complications. Study selection was based on rigorous criteria to include only those with patients without a history of hematological diseases who underwent elective non-cardiac surgeries. Results: the results indicate that alterations in coagulation tests are not significantly associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic complications, as evidenced by a relative risk (RR) of less than one. This suggests that routine performance of these tests in the study population may not be necessary and does not contribute significantly to the safety of the surgical patient. Conclusions: the study supports a review of clinical guidelines to reduce unnecessary defensive medical practices and encourage evidence-based decisions. It is recommended to limit preoperative coagulation testing to patients with identifiable risk factors or clinical manifestations of hemostatic disorders, avoiding widespread and unsubstantiated procedures that overload health systems without improving clinical outcomes Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 246 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023246 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:246:id:1056294dm2023246 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Andrea Katherine Miranda Anchundia Author-Name-First: Andrea Katherine Author-Name-Last: Miranda Anchundia Author-Name: Lourdes Elizabeth Menéndez Oña Author-Name-First: Lourdes Elizabeth Author-Name-Last: Menéndez Oña Author-Name: Ana Fernanda Ocaña Tovar Author-Name-First: Ana Fernanda Author-Name-Last: Ocaña Tovar Title: Optimization of the tunneling technique in the treatment of gingival recessions Abstract: Introduction: gingival recession has presented significant aesthetic and functional challenges for patients, making it imperative to search for effective surgical techniques that improve periodontal results. Therefore, the present study has focused on optimizing the tunneling technique with a subepithelial connective tissue graft, through the implementation and evaluation of different clinical strategies that improve the results of surgery and patient safety. Method: the VIKOR method was used for multi-criteria decision making, which allowed the analysis of several strategies based on specific criteria related to the results of surgery and patient safety. Eight evaluation criteria were established and six strategies were rated in two aspects, one focused on satisfaction with the results and the other on patient safety and health. Results: the advanced training and clinical practice strategies and comprehensive periodontal health program were identified as the most effective, showing high scores in technical competence, patient satisfaction, adherence to the protocol, and reduction of complications. Conclusions: the tunneling technique with a graft of subepithelial connective tissue is effective for the treatment of gingival recessions. The success of this technique has critically depended on surgeon training, adherence to standardized protocols, and an integrated approach that has included patient education and rigorous follow-up.

The causes of agenesis of the corpus callosum have not yet been clear and it is proposed that it occurs due to multiple factors, such as vitamin deficiency, radiation exposure, prenatal and toxic infections, smoking, maternal diabetes and genetic causes. Prenatal diagnosis can be made by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging from week 20 of gestation. Neuroimaging diagnostic tools are useful and magnetic resonance imaging is one of the ideal and most sensitive methods for postnatal demonstration of the anomaly. The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics of agenesis of the corpus callosum, through the presentation of a clinical case where the relevant observations that allow its diagnosis are presented. The case presented highlights the importance of considering agenesis of the corpus callosum as a spectrum of clinical conditions that can present with a wide variety of signs and symptoms. In this report, a combination of neurological anomalies is observed, which highlight the complexity and diversity of this condition. Therefore, it is critical that healthcare professionals be alert to potential differential diagnoses and consider agenesis of the corpus callosum in the context of patients with neurological or developmental symptoms Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 337 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023337 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:337:id:1056294dm2023337 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Sara Ximena Guerrón Enríquez Author-Name-First: Sara Ximena Author-Name-Last: Guerrón Enríquez Author-Name: Daniela Solimar Ortega Armas Author-Name-First: Daniela Solimar Author-Name-Last: Ortega Armas Author-Name: María Verónica Aveiga Hidalgo Author-Name-First: María Verónica Author-Name-Last: Aveiga Hidalgo Author-Name: Zuly Rivel Nazate Chuga Author-Name-First: Zuly Rivel Author-Name-Last: Nazate Chuga Title: Assessment of Satisfaction Level of Patients with Chronic Conditions Regarding Nursing Staff Service During Home Visits Abstract: The research was conducted in the San Francisco de Sigsipamba parish, Pimampiro Canton, with the objective of determining the level of satisfaction of chronic patients regarding the role of nursing in home visits.

The results indicated a prevalence of dissatisfaction among the patients, with 47 % showing significant levels of dissatisfaction compared to 51 % reporting some degree of satisfaction. The largest group, however, corresponds to those most dissatisfied, highlighting the need to address key issues in the service to improve the quality and experience of the patient. Additionally, a set of strategies was developed aimed at training healthcare personnel and minimizing the negative impacts resulting from inappropriate practices by nursing staff in patients with chronic diseases Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 338 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023338 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:338:id:1056294dm2023338 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Aurelia María Cleonares Borborus Author-Name-First: Aurelia María Author-Name-Last: Cleonares Borborus Author-Name: Jaime Fernando Armijos Moreta Author-Name-First: Jaime Fernando Author-Name-Last: Armijos Moreta Author-Name: Amalia Fernanda Vera Veloz Author-Name-First: Amalia Fernanda Author-Name-Last: Vera Veloz Title: Proposal for Early Prevention Actions of Oral Neoplasms: A Multidisciplinary and Analytical Approach Abstract: The study aimed to identify factors contributing to oral cancer prevention in Latin America through an exploratory review of recent scientific literature on the disease's prevalence among adult populations. It utilized a comprehensive analysis of selected publications, focusing on demographic and clinical variables such as age, gender, geographical origin, oral topography, clinical extent, and the morphological type of observed lesions. Data analysis employed a descriptive and comparative methodology that helped categorize and assess case distribution. A higher susceptibility was noted in men aged 50 to 79, in contrast to women, whose prevalence was primarily between 50 and 54 years. The study also quantified key risk factors associated with oral cancer development. Preventive measures proposed were evaluated by a multidisciplinary panel of experts, including dentists, dental assistants, general practitioners, and nurses, using the PROMETHEE Method. This ensured an objective and structured evaluation, supporting informed and effective decision-making. The research emphasized the importance of prevention and early detection of oral cancer, highlighting that early diagnosis can significantly improve patient prognosis. It reinforced the need for implementing effective, well-founded strategies to combat this disease in the region.

Traditionally, the secondary component has been associated with the dilation of the ventricular cavity and ring; however, recent interpretations also include the dilation of the left atrium as a significant factor, especially when the dimensions of the left ventricular cavity are preserved. This new perspective has led to a reinterpretation of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of atrial functional mitral regurgitation. The research focused on a case study of patients with this condition and atrial fibrillation, who were treated through catheter ablation. This approach was supported by an exhaustive bibliographic review conducted in databases such as MEDLINE via PUBMED. The findings reveal that atrial functional mitral regurgitation, now recognized as a distinct pathological entity, challenges the previous belief that only the dilation of the left ventricle and mitral ring were the causes of the disease. Furthermore, it was determined that catheter ablation is effective not only for restoring sinus rhythm but also for improving valvular function and quality of life in patients with this condition and atrial fibrillation Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 340 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023340 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:340:id:1056294dm2023340 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Jonathan Luis Gonzabay Muñoz Author-Name-First: Jonathan Luis Author-Name-Last: Gonzabay Muñoz Author-Name: Mónica Gabriela Chachalo Sandoval Author-Name-First: Mónica Gabriela Author-Name-Last: Chachalo Sandoval Author-Name: Santiago Xavier Peñarreta Quezada Author-Name-First: Santiago Xavier Author-Name-Last: Peñarreta Quezada Title: Prevention of bile duct injuries due to cholecystectomy Abstract: The human organism sometimes presents problems that require surgical intervention to provide care and a solution. Numerous investigations have dedicated their development to the search for more advanced methods that allow medical care to be provided with the least possible invasion. Among the most developed techniques in surgery is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This technique is widely used worldwide in the treatment of biliary problems due to conditions such as biliary lithiasis pathology. The application of the procedures to be carried out in this technique has required constant preparation of the surgical staff, who are not exempt from making errors during the procedure that could cause other effects on the patient. The research carries out a bibliographic review of the application of this technique and the study of the results obtained in research on the application of the technique. A group of procedures are analyzed to take into account in the diagnosis, the decision to operate and the application of the procedure itself to reduce any impact on the patient. The existence of cases in which medical intervention has caused new effects on the patient that lead to changes in lifestyle is recognized. However, the results show that this technique is widely spread and effective in the treatment of biliary conditions in people who have difficulties of this type Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 341 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023341 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:341:id:1056294dm2023341 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Icler Naun Sisalema Aguilar Author-Name-First: Icler Naun Author-Name-Last: Sisalema Aguilar Author-Name: Fernando Bolívar Mena Hidalgo Author-Name-First: Fernando Author-Name-Last: Bolívar Mena Hidalgo Author-Name: Alice Mishell Mantilla Moreira Author-Name-First: Alice Mishell Author-Name-Last: Mantilla Moreira Author-Name: Francisco Gabriel Morejón Vallejo Author-Name-First: Francisco Gabriel Author-Name-Last: Morejón Vallejo Title: Analysis of corona virus mortality rates in a public health unit in the city of Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas Abstract: The global health crisis generated by the Coronavirus pandemic resulted in a global imbalance in several spheres.

A quantitative study with a descriptive, exploratory, and field approach was conducted, using methodological tools such as the questionnaire from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and structured interviews with the institution's director. The sample included 100 operational staff and the administrative director, evaluating labor, social, and personal parameters in five safety categories. It was noted that 65 % of the health personnel confirmed full compliance with the patient safety program guidelines. Furthermore, a strategic analysis was performed that significantly contributed to improving patient safety at the institution. This analysis highlighted the need for ongoing training and updating parameters to meet the specific needs of the establishment, aiming to enhance the patient safety culture. It was concluded that, although the management of patient safety was efficient, it was imperative to continue training and adapting practices to optimize patient protection at the hospital Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 343 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023343 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:343:id:1056294dm2023343 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Manuel Conrado Ezcurdia Barzaga Author-Name-First: Manuel Conrado Author-Name-Last: Ezcurdia Barzaga Author-Name: Carlos Alejandro Troya Altamirano Author-Name-First: Carlos Alejandro Author-Name-Last: Troya Altamirano Author-Name: Evelyn Carolina Betancourt Rubio Author-Name-First: Evelyn Carolina Author-Name-Last: Betancourt Rubio Title: Evaluation and Prioritization of Training Programs for the Management of Marfan Syndrome Abstract: Introduction: Marfan Syndrome has been a connective tissue disease affecting multiple systems of the body, requiring an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach. The variability in presentation and potential complications underscored the need for precise and specialized medical training. Therefore, the general objective of this research is to evaluate specific training programs to improve the diagnosis and management of Marfan Syndrome by identifying critical gaps in current medical practice. Method: multicriteria decision-making methodologies were used, including the AHP Saaty method to quantify the incidence of diagnostic gaps and the MOORA method to prioritize medical training programs based on the improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of Marfan Syndrome. Results: the analysis revealed that insufficient knowledge and incomplete clinical evaluations are the main gaps. Priority training programs included the advanced course in clinical genetics and the training program in echocardiography, noted for their direct capacity to improve clinical outcomes. Conclusions: medical education in genetics and echocardiography must be prioritized to effectively address Marfan Syndrome. The implementation of these programs constitutes the support to close the identified gaps. Thus, they significantly improve early diagnosis and management of complications, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration in patient care Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 344 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023344 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:344:id:1056294dm2023344 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Diana Carolina Freire Villena Author-Name-First: Diana Carolina Author-Name-Last: Freire Villena Author-Name: Luis Darío Pérez Villalba Author-Name-First: Luis Darío Author-Name-Last: Pérez Villalba Author-Name: Melanie Cristina Ulloa Poveda Author-Name-First: Melanie Cristina Author-Name-Last: Ulloa Poveda Title: Optimization of surgical selection in the treatment of irritation fibroids Abstract: Irritation fibroma is a benign, non-neoplastic lesion that arises in the oral mucosa due to chronic irritations or trauma. This focal hyperplasia of collagenized fibrous connective tissue typically presents as an exophytic, firm, asymptomatic, pink nodule with a smooth surface and a well-defined border. Removing this lesion not only allows for diagnostic confirmation, it also prevents additional complications, relieves symptoms in symptomatic cases, and improves the patient's aesthetics and comfort. Surgical intervention is the recommended treatment and can be carried out using various techniques, such as conventional surgical excision, laser surgery, electrosurgery and cryosurgery. The choice of surgical method is based on specific characteristics of the fibroid and physician preferences, with conventional surgical excision frequently preferred as it allows complete control over tissue removal. This study details the case of a patient with an irritation fibroma located in the lateral region of the tongue, for which the VIKOR method was used as a multi-criteria decision-making tool to select the most appropriate surgical technique. The final decision favored conventional surgical excision, based on multicriteria assessment that included aspects such as the size and location of the lesion, available resources, risks, and aesthetic results. The management of irritation fibroma must be careful and well-founded, favoring techniques that ensure complete removal of the lesion with minimal complications and ensuring adequate postoperative follow-up to evaluate the patient's evolution and prevent recurrences Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 345 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023345 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:345:id:1056294dm2023345 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Melany Michelle Abril Moya Author-Name-First: Melany Michelle Abril Author-Name-Last: Moya Author-Name: Graciela Alexandra Carrera Aldaz Author-Name-First: Graciela Alexandra Author-Name-Last: Carrera Aldaz Author-Name: Francisco Xavier Poveda Paredes Author-Name-First: Francisco Xavier Author-Name-Last: Poveda Paredes Title: Characterization of Trichinella spiralis and its incidence in Ecuador Abstract: Trichinella spiralis is a parasite that can infect humans through consumption of infected raw or undercooked meat, especially pork, wild boar, bear and other wild animals. Trichinella infection can cause a disease called trichinosis, which can result in serious symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, facial and eye swelling, and in severe cases, cardiac and respiratory complications. The main objective of this research is to characterize the pathogenicity mechanisms of Trichinella spiralis and its incidence in Ecuador through a bibliographic review. A bibliographic review of a retrospective descriptive narrative type was carried out. Trichinella spiralis infection has a suppressive effect on the immune system, making it totally invisible to invasive elimination attacks. The parasite, as its life cycle progresses, changes its morphology and excretion, which allows it to migrate with lymph or blood, invading skeletal muscle. The lack of mechanisms for detecting Trichinella in pork and monitoring safe meat handling and cooking practices constitute a food safety problem in Ecuador. The specific incidence in humans of Trichinella spiralis in Ecuador is not widely documented in scientific literature or public health sources. However, although trichinosis is a parasitic disease that is not very common in Ecuador, it is necessary for health professionals to be attentive to this problem and work together to implement effective control and prevention strategies Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 346 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023346 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:346:id:1056294dm2023346 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Edisson Vladimir Maldonado Mariño Author-Name-First: Edisson Vladimir Author-Name-Last: Maldonado Mariño Author-Name: Dario Orlando Siza Saquinga Author-Name-First: Dario Orlando Author-Name-Last: Siza Saquinga Author-Name: Diego Eduardo Guato Canchinia Author-Name-First: Diego Eduardo Author-Name-Last: Guato Canchinia Author-Name: Alexander Javier Ramos Velastegui Author-Name-First: Alexander Javier Author-Name-Last: Ramos Velastegui Title: Systematization of research on the incidence of pesticides in people, use of biomarkers Abstract: Currently the use of pesticides in agriculture has expanded in the search for greater productivity. These products can harm people's health in various ways. These effects can be captured through the use of genotoxicity biomarkers. The objective of this research is to systematize studies on biomarkers of genotoxicity of people exposed to pesticides in South America. The PRISMA method was applied to determine the studies to be analyzed. 15 documents met the inclusion criteria. Among the adverse health effects perceived in studies are neurological, respiratory, dermatological and endocrine disorders, as well as an increased risk of cancer. The main biomarkers identified are the comet assay, the cytokinesis blockade micronucleus assay, and the buccal cytoma micronucleus assay. Polymerase chain reaction, chromosomal aberrations, flow cytometry, and fluorescence in situ hybridization were also taken into account. Limitations were determined by biomarker. The usefulness of using multiple biomarkers is highlighted for a more complete and precise evaluation of pesticide exposure and genotoxic damage in agricultural workers in South America.

This paper examines the potential application and implications of artificial intelligence for contemporary library services in Nigeria. Methods: this paper adopts the expository research approach to evaluate the application and implication of artificial intelligence in contemporary library services in Nigeria. Through systematic analysis of literature, the study addresses how academic libraries can utilize artificial intelligence to support innovative library services. Findings: the column emphasizes that, academic libraries in Nigeria have not yet adopted and applied AI, in spite of the potential that it holds for libraries. Given that there has been relatively little study linking artificial intelligence (AI) to librarianship, this may be because there is a low degree of awareness and adoption of AI's importance in libraries. Conclusions: this column is the original idea from the authors and does not reflect on any copyrighted materials. The column recommended that, academic libraries in Nigeria should fully embrace artificial intelligence like chatbots, barcodes, RFIDs, and robots for delivering quality services and libraries should also leverage on the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence to reconnect their remote users, and consequently re-establish their relevance among the user community Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 36 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202336 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:36:id:1056294dm202336 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Rose Mary Favier Rodríguez Author-Name-First: Rose Mary Favier Author-Name-Last: Rodríguez Author-Name: Gloritza Rodríguez Matos Author-Name-First: Gloritza Author-Name-Last: Rodríguez Matos Author-Name: Eduardo Enrique Chibas Muñoz Author-Name-First: Eduardo Enrique Author-Name-Last: Chibas Muñoz Title: Exploring links between toxic-environmental factors and hematologic malignancies: considerations for data-driven health decision making Abstract: Introduction: some toxic-environmental factors are frequently related to malignant hematological diseases, which have increased in recent years.

A comprehensive analysis of water quality was performed in the low Marquesote river basin, using benthic macroinvertebrates and the ETP index (Ephemeroptera-Trichoptera-Plecoptera) as a biological indicator and some physicochemical parameters. Work was worked on the middle and lower basin on the Marquesote River at two times of the year (dry and rainy); standardized methods for water physicochemical variables were applied, for benthic fauna collected using a Surber network, and identifying them up to the taxonomic level of family. The study observed 22 families and 1388 individuals, where 49 % represent PTSD, indicating regular water quality; however, physicochemical variables had wide variation, noting that pH showed the greatest variability based on an analysis of major components. Environmental quality in the Marquesote river basin is compromised according to the indicators used, a more detailed study of the sources of pollution and dynamics of macroinvertebrates could provide a greater ecological knowledge of the basin Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 54 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202354 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:54:id:1056294dm202354 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: María Eugenia Ramírez Author-Name-First: María Eugenia Author-Name-Last: Ramírez Author-Name: Misael Ron Author-Name-First: Misael Author-Name-Last: Ron Author-Name: Gladys Mago Author-Name-First: Gladys Author-Name-Last: Mago Author-Name: Estela Hernandez Runque Author-Name-First: Estela Author-Name-Last: Hernandez Runque Author-Name: María Del Carmen Martínez Author-Name-First: María Del Carmen Author-Name-Last: Martínez Author-Name: Evelin Escalona Author-Name-First: Evelin Author-Name-Last: Escalona Title: Proposal for an epidemiological surveillance program for the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases in workers exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) at a Venezuelan brewing company Abstract: Introduction: in manufacturing companies, specifically in the brewery, there are processes that involve the handling and use of chemical agents, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), this is the reason why workers are exposed to this agent. In the studied company, an accident was caused by exposure to this substance. Objective: to propose an epidemiological surveillance program for the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases in workers exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) in a Venezuelan brewery. Methods: a qualitative-quantitative, field, descriptive, feasible project-type research was carried out, with the epidemiological surveillance program as the unit of analysis. Documentary review, direct observation and the interview were used as data collection techniques, and the observation guide, the sociodemographic form and the field diary were used as instruments. Results: the machine room has 18 workers, which shows that the workforce is composed of men over 40 years of age. Among the main causes of consultation of workers to the medical service are headache with 24,1 %, followed by fatigue with 20,6 % and then dizziness with 13,7 %. Conclusion: we propose an Epidemiological Surveillance Program aimed at machine room workers exposed to Carbon Dioxide (CO2), since there is no system that collects complete information on the working conditions and health of its workers, thus failing to comply with the legal framework governing the subject Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 55 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202355 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:55:id:1056294dm202355 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Emilio Manuel Zayas Somoza Author-Name-First: Emilio Manuel Author-Name-Last: Zayas Somoza Author-Name: Vilma Fundora Álvarez Author-Name-First: Vilma Author-Name-Last: Fundora Álvarez Author-Name: Roberto Carlos Morejón Alderete Author-Name-First: Roberto Carlos Author-Name-Last: Morejón Alderete Title: Latin American scientific production on malnutrition in ambulatory older adults with progression to sarcopenia Abstract: Introduction: malnutrition is a global problem that affects millions of people around the world, especially the elderly.

However, in Chile the evolution and characteristics of these services at hospital level and especially during the last years (pre and post COVID-19) are unknown. The exploration of these data could contribute to the development of strategies and decision making at the local level. Objective: to determine the evolution and characteristics of speech and language therapist services between the years 2015-2022 in a Chilean high complexity hospital. Methods: by means of a quantitative, transectional and descriptive design, 96 databases corresponding to the Monthly Statistical Records (REM) between January 2015 and December 2022 were reviewed. The variables analyzed were: number of initial and intermediate evaluations, hospital rehabilitation sessions, home rehabilitation and procedures-activities performed. Results: an oscillating increase in the number of speech and language therapist services performed between 2015-2022 was observed. Preference is given to hospital rehabilitation sessions (95,626 services) followed by initial evaluations (11,550). By specific area, the highest number of benefits was obtained by swallowing rehabilitation (22,594), while individual and group auditory rehabilitation only presented 7 and 11 records respectively. Conclusions: the analysis of the REM exhibits an incremental evolution of the registry of speech and language therapist services, especially since the last three years (2020 onwards), this despite the fluctuations observed during the previous years (2015-2019). This increase would be directly related to the increase in the hiring of professionals, improvement of supplies and equipment, incorporation of the speech therapist to pathologies with explicit health guarantees (GES) and the need for professional staffing due to the COVID-19 contingency Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 97 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm202397 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:97:id:1056294dm202397 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Freddy Lalaleo Analuisa Author-Name-First: Freddy Author-Name-Last: Lalaleo Analuisa Author-Name: Amanda Martínez Yacelga Author-Name-First: Amanda Author-Name-Last: Martínez Yacelga Title: Evaluation of the effectiveness of strategies under the perspectives of the Balanced ScoreCard Abstract: The objective of this research is to know the effectiveness of business strategies from the perspective of the Balanced ScoreCard in medium-sized companies in the city of Ambato. The research consisted of an explanatory methodology with a qualitative and quantitative approach with a descriptive research design, the study population was based on micro-enterprises in the province of Tungurahua, in this sense for the sample, 22 medium-sized companies. of the city of Ambato were determined. A survey structured by 16 questions distributed in four dimensions was applied: financial perspective, customer perspective, internal processes perspective and learning and growth perspective. Among the main results is the low financial perspective (27,3 %). The customer perspective is the lowest point in 45,4 % of companies, on the other hand, there is a very low perspective of internal processes (27,3 %) and finally, the management focused on learning and knowledge perspective maintains the same deficiencies of the previous dimensions (22,7 %). In this context, it is concluded that the companies selected for the study have a low level of use of the Balanced ScoreCard perspectives.

Several factors, including cancer type, patient age, medical history, and time delay between diagnosis and treatment, were examined to determine their association with cancer stage. Multiple supervised multi-class classification methods were tested, and the best-performing models were identified. The results showed that the random forest, SVM polynomial, and composite models performed well across different stages, although distinguishing between Stages II and III was more challenging. The most important features for predicting cancer stage were found to be cancer type, TNM variables, and diagnostic extension. Variables related to treatment timing and sequence also showed some importance. It was emphasized that the results of predictive models should be interpreted carefully to avoid overprediction or underprediction. Clinical context and additional information should be considered to enhance the accuracy of predictions. The small dataset and limitations in data availability posed challenges in accurately predicting cancer stage for different cancer types. Implementing the predictive model can have various benefits, including informing treatment decisions, assessing disease severity, and optimizing resource allocation. Further research and expansion of the model's scope were recommended to improve its performance and impact. Overall, the study emphasized the potential of predictive models in cancer staging and highlighted the need for ongoing advancements in this field Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 123 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023123 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:123:id:1056294dm2023123 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Carolina Villalobos Author-Name-First: Carolina Author-Name-Last: Villalobos Author-Name: Carla Cavallera Author-Name-First: Carla Author-Name-Last: Cavallera Author-Name: Matías Espinoza Author-Name-First: Matías Author-Name-Last: Espinoza Author-Name: María Francisca Cid Author-Name-First: María Francisca Author-Name-Last: Cid Author-Name: Inti Paredes Author-Name-First: Inti Author-Name-Last: Paredes Title: Toward Efficiency and Accuracy: Implementation of a Semiautomated Data Capture and Processing Model for the Construction of a Hospital-based Tumor Registry in Chile Abstract: Introduction: the innovative implementation of a Hospital-based cancer registry (HBCR) at the Arturo López Pérez Oncology Institute (FALP), showcasing the transition from a manual data extraction model to a semi-automation of the process. The purpose of this publication is to compare both methodologies by assessing their efficiency and accuracy. Methods: the analysis was conducted by comparing the complete dataset of the FALP HBCR from 2017 to 2021. The efficiency variable is analyzed, taking into account the total execution time of the registration process, and the precision variable was measured through the internal data consistency method using the IARCcrg Tools Software Results: in terms of efficiency, the analysis reveals that in 2017, employing a manual approach without automation, it was necessary to analyze 13 061 cases over 144 weeks with an average of 4 registrars to achieve a total of 3 211 cases fully registered. In contrast, over the subsequent 4 years (2018 to 2021), with varying degrees of automation, 65 088 cases were analyzed within 115 weeks, employing an average of 8 registrars, resulting in 13 537 fully registered. This method demonstrated to be 3 times more efficient. Regarding precision, the manual approach exhibited a 5 % error rate in registered cases, whereas the automated approach showed a 0,6 % error rate during the 2018-2021 period.

For its implementation, the didactic model proposed by Jorba and Sanmartí was considered; and for the evaluation of the units and the impact of the course, Urquidi's extended model of technological adoption was used. Forty-four students participated (39 women and 5 men), with an average age of 23 years. According to the technology acceptance model, statistically significant differences were found between the pre- and post-intervention groups in all dimensions of the model (Wilcoxon test, p < 0,05). In addition, a positive correlation was found between ease of use, subjective norm and intention to use the technologies taught. The implementation of the disruptive technologies course proved to be effective in the development of technological skills among nursing students in Chile Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 129 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023129 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:129:id:1056294dm2023129 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Gilberto Murillo González Author-Name-First: Gilberto Author-Name-Last: Murillo González Author-Name: German Martínez Prats Author-Name-First: German Author-Name-Last: Martínez Prats Author-Name: Verónica Vázquez Vidal Author-Name-First: Verónica Author-Name-Last: Vázquez Vidal Title: Technological disinformation: factors and causes of cybernaut identity theft in the digital world Abstract: The contribution of technology in the development of our daily activities has taken a giant step in the dependence of the citizen-technology-society with the integration of the Internet without glimpsing a border. It is therefore necessary to safeguard personal information if you have an active digital life. The identification of the factors and causes that lead to identity theft is a requirement for the technical and operational literacy of citizens, who are easy victims. This article aims to analyze some aspects of causes and factors of identity theft of citizens of the municipality of the center of the State of Tabasco. A quantitative instrument was designed, applied via Internet to a population of 3,158. The results show that citizens are unaware of several aspects of security in the environment of digital services, which, depending on gender, age and level of education, are captive in some scenario of digital insecurity.

Approximately 20 % of diabetic patients may develop foot ulcers, with around 10 % requiring hospitalization due to additional complications. Typically, these ulcers affect individuals who have had diabetes for more than ten years. Neglecting or leaving Diabetic Foot Ulcers untreated can result in severe damage, leading to worsened infections and potentially necessitating amputation, often accompanied by multiple complications that may even result in mortality. Therefore, early prediction of foot-threatening risks is crucial to prevent worsening situations. In this work visualization methods are applied for a better understanding of the dataset to draw meaningful insights and to observe the behavior of amputation risks in diabetic patients. The feature values fluctuate, so selecting the best feature from a combination of statistical and graphical data analysis is not trivial. Data visualization techniques (data-driven approach), and statistical analysis were used to select important features, that lead to leg amputation. The Machine learning models were implemented to forecast foot ulcers depending on clinical outcomes. A predicted accuracy of 85 % is observed using Ensemble Methods Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 140 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023140 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:140:id:1056294dm2023140 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Ricardo Javier Albarracín Vanoy Author-Name-First: Ricardo Javier Author-Name-Last: Albarracín Vanoy Title: Logistics 4.0: Exploring Artificial Intelligence Trends in Efficient Supply Chain Management Abstract: Introduction: in the current era of globalization and digitalization, international logistics faces unique challenges and opportunities. The growing demand for efficient supply chain management, combined with the need to reduce costs and improve services, has led to the adoption of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has become a key catalyst in the transformation of logistics, giving way to what is known as Logistics 4.0. This paper explores the most recent trends of AI in international logistics and its integration into education, with a specific focus on the San Mateo University Foundation. Methods: this mixed study, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, begins with quantitative data collection and analysis, followed by a qualitative phase. The qualitative approach focuses on students' perceptions of logistics training, while the quantitative approach describes how they perceive AI tools. The research included students and companies in Bogota, analyzing their familiarity with AI and its implementation in practice. Results: the findings indicate that AI is increasingly relevant in logistics, especially in process automation and data-driven decision making. Most companies surveyed have a good understanding of AI, but less than half implement it in their operations. Students recognize the importance of AI in logistics and its positive impact on education. There is consensus on the role of AI in improving educational quality, highlighting its usefulness in optimizing processes and personalizing learning. Conclusions: the research highlights the crucial role of AI in modern logistics and its ability to improve operational efficiency. The integration of AI in international business education is critical to enrich students' learning experience and prepare them for the challenges of the labor market. The blended methodology used is effective in gaining a holistic view of AI integration in logistics and its educational impact. The conclusions provide guidelines for curriculum development in international business with a focus on international logistics, aligning curricula with emerging trends in logistics and AI Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 145 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023145 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:145:id:1056294dm2023145 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: R.

Through social media, information is now more quickly, cheaply, and easily available. Particularly harmful content includes misinformation propagated by social media users, such as false news. Users find it simple to post comments and false information on social networks. Realising the difference between authentic and false news is the biggest obstacle. The current study's aim of identifying bogus news involved the deployment of a capsule neural network. However, with time, this technique as a whole learns how to report user accuracy. This paper offers a three-step strategy for spotting bogus news on social networks as a solution to this issue. Pre-processing is executed initially to transform unstrsuctrured data into a structured form. The second part of the project brought the HFEM (Combined Feature Extraction Model), which also revealed new relationships between themes, authors, and articles as well as undiscovered features of false news. based on a collection of traits that were explicitly and implicitly collected from text. This study creates a capsule neural network model in the third stage to concurrently understand how creators, subjects, and articles are presented. This work uses four performance metrics in evaluations of the suggested classification algorithm using on existing public data sets Journal: Data and Metadata Pages: 190 Volume: 2 Year: 2023 DOI: 10.56294/dm2023190 Handle: RePEc:dbk:datame:v:2:y:2023:i::p:190:id:1056294dm2023190 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Ankur Goyal Author-Name-First: Ankur Author-Name-Last: Goyal Author-Name: Pronita Mukherjee Author-Name-First: Pronita Author-Name-Last: Mukherjee Author-Name: Dipra Mitra Author-Name-First: Dipra Author-Name-Last: Mitra Author-Name: Shiv Kant Author-Name-First: Shiv Author-Name-Last: Kant Author-Name: Khalid Almalki Author-Name-First: Khalid Author-Name-Last: Almalki Author-Name: Suliman Mohamed Fati Author-Name-First: Suliman Author-Name-Last: Mohamed Fati Title: A Two-stage Approach for Word Searching in Handwritten Document Images Abstract: Introduction; Despite the rise of electronic papers, handwritten paper documents remain important. Current technologies make document digitization, storage, compression, and transmission easy and affordable. But semi-automatic document image processing needs specific technology to extract document information accurately. Typed textual searches are used to get information from Digital Libraries. Objective; Generally, in a document, there exists a varying number of characters in different words. That is why searching a word in a whole document is incorporate mismatched word images in the fetched word image and also increases the time consumption to complete the task. Method; Keeping this idea in mind, the words having different number of characters with respect to the search word are discarded at the beginning as preprocessing. Result; To confirm the outstanding words in the document page as probable search word, a voting-based approach has been used for doing this, a modified HOG feature descriptor is extracted from each word image, then 5 distance-matching metrics are calculated, fed to a voting schema with the help of threshold value of each metrics, calculated beforehand. Conclusion; Here 3 types of voting is performed, first 2, with the varying no of metrics vote for positivity of the search word and in the last one three distance metrics are used among which if more than one votes for the positivity the model will indicate the word as a search word.
