Towards Trustworthy AI-based Military Cyber Operations

Within the dynamic realm of contemporary warfare, Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative force that reshapes the ways and means used to strategize, execute, and assess military operations. In this journey, the use of AI spans functions and capabilities like intelligence analysis, target engagement decision-making support, weapon autonomy, and effects analytics. Concurrently, AI enhances, e.g., the effectiveness of military plans and capabilities having the potential to reducing risks to civilians, civilian objects, and military personnel. In this rapidly evolving arena, military Cyber Operations gained unprecedented prominence due to their intrinsic digital and cross-domain nature, speed, and became a clear option to achieving military goals, and a mature set of alternatives to conventional ones. Nonetheless, they need continuous assessment, deal with different uncertainty types produced by characteristics like anonymity and can imply psychological impact. Hence, such military operations demand meticulous planning, sophisticated execution, and a deep understanding of technical, military-legal, ethical, and strategic implications and consequences. This represents a direct call for building solutions that align the potential of AI with the responsible and safe conduct of military operations in the military cyber domain: building trustworthy AI-based military Cyber Operations. While incipient efforts to tackle important dimensions of such an approach exist in this domain, a direct and unified approach that unifies them as a commitment and artefact lacks. To tackle this knowledge gap, this research aims to build a bridge between the above-mentioned dimensions by proposing a working definition and framework for building trustworthy AI-based military Cyber Operations using the Design Science Research methodology.

An implementation of integrated performance assessment model in vocational English for communication learning

This research implemented the Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) model within the context of vocational English for communication learning. The IPA model, proposed by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), serves as a comprehensive framework aimed at unifying teaching and assessment methodologies to enhance students' speaking abilities. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of the IPA model in improving students' communication skills within a vocational English setting. First-semester students at AKN Blitar serve as the subjects of this research. A mixed-method approach is employed, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Pre-test and post-test stages are conducted, with student scores calculated using the Shapiro-Wilk test to ensure the validity of the findings. The results of this research demonstrate a significant improvement in students' communication skills following the implementation of the IPA model. Despite the observed increase in scores between the pre-test and post-test stages, further investigation reveals that the significance value (p) remains above 0.05 (sig. > 0.05), underscoring the need for continued assessment and refinement of the IPA model in vocational English education.

Patient perspectives on primary care providers role in long-term opioid therapy.

Over the past decade, long-term use of prescription opioids for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) has risen globally despite the associated risks. The majority of opioid users receive their first prescription in primary care. To investigate the perspective of long-term opioid users in primary care regarding the role of healthcare providers (HCP) in their prolonged opioid use. Semi-structured interviews in Dutch primary care Methods: We recruited long-term opioid users for CNCP from seven community pharmacies in the Netherlands. In-depth, semi-structured interviews focussed on experiences with long term opioid use, access to opioids, and the guidance of their HCPs. A directed content analysis was conducted on the transcribed interviews using NVivo. Participants (n=25) mentioned ways HCPs impacted their long-term use of opioids. These encompassed: 1) the initiation of treatment, 2) chronic use of opioids, 3) discontinuation of treatment. Participants stressed the need for risk counselling during initial prescriptions, ongoing medication evaluations including tapering conversations, and more support from their HCP during a tapering attempt. Patients' perspective illustrates the important role of HCPs across the spectrum of opioid usage - from initiation to tapering. It underscores the importance of clear risk counselling starting at the initial prescription, continuous medication assessments throughout treatment, addressing tapering at regular intervals and strong support during tapering. These insights carry significant implications for clinical practice, emphasising the importance of informed and patient-centred care when it comes to opioid use for chronic non-cancer pain management.

Proposed Sustainable Voluntourism Guidelines for Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines

The study conducted on Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines, aimed to assess the impact of voluntourism on socio-cultural, environmental, and economic aspects. The researcher used a descriptive survey form, collecting data from 347 purposively chosen respondents. Here are the key findings from the study: 1) Before Typhoon Yolanda, many tourists went to Bantayan Island, and the local people benefited from them; however, after the typhoon, fewer tourists went to the Island, which directly affected the life of the local people; 2) All the respondents perceived that voluntourism helped the socio-cultural, economics and environment of the local people in Bantayan Island; 3) There is no significant difference in the perceptions of the respondents on the impact of voluntourism to the socio-cultural and economics dimensions in Bantayan Island; however, there is a significant difference in their perceptions towards the impact of voluntourism to the environment; 4) The tourists and the local people have a different perception about the impact of voluntourism to the environment with a p-value .003 which is significant; 5) There is a significant. The study concludes that voluntourism significantly contributes to the socio-economic, economic, and environmental well-being of Bantayan Island. However, its sustainability hinges on addressing all relevant elements and recognizing their interconnectedness. Collaboration Among Stakeholders: All tourism stakeholders in Bantayan Island should unite as a team, sharing a common vision and strategies. Capacity Building: The public and private sectors of Bantayan Island’s tourism industry should organize seminars and training programs. Local Ordinances: Bantayan Island’s local government units should craft and approve local ordinances. These regulations will safeguard the socio-cultural, economic, and environmental aspects, guiding the activities of both foreign and local tourists. Community Involvement: The local people of Bantayan Island should actively participate in the planning and development of voluntourism programs. Regular Evaluation: Continuous assessment of the voluntourism program by all stakeholders is essential to ensure its long-term sustainability. Reference for Future Research: Future researchers can utilize the findings of this study as a valuable reference to gain an in-depth understanding of the topic.

Student engagement with a novel online assessment strategy

The study investigated the impact on student engagement and achievement of a "formative thresholded" continuous assessment strategy in which students had to meet a modest threshold, but their continuous assessment marks did not contribute to their final grade. Students were free to choose their own blend of tutor-marked and computer-marked assignments provided they met the threshold in a minimum number of assignments. For students reaching this threshold, the final grade was determined solely by an end-of-year examination. This assessment strategy was compared with one in which summative assignments contributed to the final grade alongside the final examination. The methodology took the form of data analysis of assessment records from more than 3500 anonymized students over a period of 7 years. Evidence was found for improved student engagement under the formative thresholded assessment strategy, with students choosing to complete many more computer-marked assignments, balanced by slightly fewer tutor-marked assignments. There was no change in overall retention. Many students made use of the capability to repeat different versions of the computer-marked questions. There was some evidence of students gaming the system (repeating questions until they obtained a version they had seen before), though most students did not do this at all and only a small number did so regularly. Students appeared to make better use of model answers, provided in response to three incorrect tries at a question, than of hints provided after each try. It was noted that the formative thresholded assessment strategy has potential for wider use.

This qualitative study, employing a phenomenological approach, seeks to illuminate the experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms of Madrasah multigrade teachers during the pandemic. The study involved 14 participants in in-depth interviews and 8 participants in a focus-group discussion. Thematic analysis was applied to analyze the responses. The research uncovered three fundamental themes in their lived experiences, focusing on establishing flexible teaching practices, adaptive instruction, and continuous assessment for enhanced learning. It also unveiled challenges at different levels, notably the three essential themes: Azatids-related challenges, Madrasah-level challenges, and Kalangkapan-level challenges. Despite these hurdles, the participants demonstrated their resilience through coping mechanisms, including spending own money, religious obligations, displaying positive attitude, praying, and self-reward. The study's conclusion underscores the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Madrasah multigrade teachers, emphasizing their ability to persist, adapt, and effectively cope with unprecedented changes.

Requirements for Cultivating Customer Focus

In today's fiercely competitive global marketplace, companies face a plethora of opportunities, as well as threats and challenges. As products become increasingly homogeneous, companies must develop concepts and strategies for fostering relationships with their customers. This necessitates a comprehensive approach, with a shift from transactional marketing to relationship marketing already underway, placing emphasis on the customer. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) holds promise for navigating competitive markets, yet high failure rates in CRM implementation persist. One critical success factor for CRM implementation is a steadfast orientation towards the customer. Achieving customer orientation entails various measures including change management, cross-functional collaboration, process optimization, employee engagement, and support from company stakeholders. Internal marketing is crucial for persuading employees to transition from functional to cross-functional thinking. Customer orientation is not merely a strategy, but a journey and long-term commitment, requiring continual assessment and enhancement. This paper offers an in-depth exploration of the essential factors for cultivating customer orientation.

The impact of bariatric surgery on female reproductive health

Introduction. Obesity is a worldwide problem at epidemic scale. Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective method to treat morbid obesity characterized by long-term and positive effects on concomitant diseases. However, the effect of BS on female reproductive health has not been sufficiently studied to date, which makes relevant to conduct further investigations in this field.Aim: to summarize research data assessing BS effect on female reproductive health.Materials and Methods. There was conducted a search for publications in the electronic databases PubMed, eLibrary and Google Scholar to identify the following keywords and their combinations in Russian and English: "bariatric surgery", "reproductive health", "sex hormones", "pregnancy", "menstrual cycle", "fetal", "neonatal". The evaluation of the articles was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA recommendations. Based on search data, 868 publications from PubMed, 83 publications from eLibrary and 74 publications from Google Scholar were retrieved. After the selection procedure, 79 articles were included in the review.Results. To date, the data regarding the long-term BS effects on improved obesity-related endocrine disorders remain insufficient. It is better to recommend long-acting reversible contraceptives such as intrauterine device, to post-BS patients. Women with BS history should have a continuous comprehensive nutritional assessment as well as blood macronutrients and trace elements monitoring before, during and after pregnancy. Recognizing potential complications associated with BS in the anamnesis and timely seeking specialized medical aid or timely transfer of a patient to a specialized medical facility may improve pregnancy outcomes for a mother and paired newborn.Conclusion. While making decision to perform BS, it is necessary to fully understand its impact on female reproductive health, assess patients' reproductive intentions and fulfill health education obligations. All patients of childbearing age who are candidates for BS should participate in a joint decision-making dialogue on BS-related risks and benefits for reproductive health, which should be supported by extensive multidisciplinary work involving obstetricians, gynecologists, endocrinologists, psychologists and representatives of other medical specialties. To date, the data regarding the BS-related effects on pregnant women are heterogeneous, which requires additional investigations in this field.

Life Cycle Thinking and its importance in the context of sustainability management: Review

Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) is considered a qualitative study because it describes the environmental impacts of a product or process. This perception allows us to identify the potential effects and resources used, allowing us to structure sustainable ideas, identifying and developing innovative solutions. Establishing the life cycle of a product requires planning and understanding the stages of the production chain, the continuous assessment of processes and their environmental functions, from the extraction of raw materials, transportation, manufacturing process, delivery to the customer and final disposal. Although LCT is considered a philosophy, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a quantitative scientific method that allows you to express this thought. Through life cycle concepts and tools, it becomes possible to define the stages of a product's life cycle, assist decision makers in data analysis and implement sustainability with appropriate strategies and actions. However, the objective of this review is to describe concepts and definitions about LCT and LCA. It is hoped that researchers will be able to guarantee true sustainability in production, which will require careful assessment and multiple considerations based on an in-depth reflection on the product's life cycle.

The Stakeholders’ Views on Assessment of Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) In Selected Secondary Schools in Kampala District

The study investigated the stakeholders ’views on assessment of Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in selected Secondary schools A and B found in Kampala District. Assessment under the CBC involves both formative and summative assessments, with formative assessments accounting for 20% and summative assessments accounting for 80% of the evaluation. Teachers should frequently assess the learners using new assessment methods of CBC. Teachers are also required to change from a norm-referenced to a criterion-referenced judgment of learners’ capabilities or competencies to determine their progress. The study was guided by curriculum implementation theory by Gross et al (1971). The study adopted a qualitative research approach that analysed the stakeholders’ views on assessment from the subjective point of view while involving the study participants’ opinions. The study followed the Interpretivist paradigm which enabled participants to create and construct their social reality in line with the study. The study also adopted a single case study research design in order to get an in-depth understanding of the views of stakeholders on assessment in CBC. A sample of 23 participants including a UNEB Official, Headteachers (H), Teachers (T) and Students (S) were selected purposively and used for the study. This enabled the researcher to gather qualitative responses, from the best-fit participants whose responses were relevant to the study. The study employed the use of the interviews for a UNEB Official, the two headteachers and eight teachers and focus group discussions (FGD) to twelve students while considering in each group six students to collect data. Through triangulation the methods enabled the researcher to collect in-depth subjective reality which was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study indicated that, the assessment methods used in CBC were good. They included; activities of integration, continuous assessment, end of term assessment, end of year assessment and end of cycle assessment. However, as the methods were being used, schools were faced by many challenges that included; limited skills by teachers, limited sensitisation from UNEB and NCDC on CBC practices, limited facilities to use, time consuming on the side of teachers, laziness of the learners and big class sizes. The study recommended the government of Uganda through the MoES to; train teachers so as to equip them with the necessary skills of teaching, facilitate schools with enough educational facilities and materials to use and continuously monitor, supervise and evaluate CBC practices in schools.

Continuous power imbalance assessment from multi-area economic dispatch models

To be able to efficiently maintain a continuous balance between supply and demand in power systems with high shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) sources, a variety of studies related to the topic are needed. A fundamental input parameter for such studies is an assessment of the power system’s physical needs for balancing power, in form of power imbalances. This article presents a new model for simulating physical power imbalances with a 1-minute time resolution based on multi-area economic dispatch simulations. Compared to existing models with the same purpose, the new model includes the combination of simulating power imbalances with 1-minute time resolution, simulating forecast uncertainty, simulating the continuous behaviour of all power system components and simulating the transmission for netting of power imbalances between balancing areas. By applying the model to a case study of the Nordic synchronous power system in year 2045, the impact of including these features in the model is highlighted. Case study results also show that the size and pattern of power imbalances much depends on the characteristics of a balancing area, in terms of electricity demand, available generation technologies and interconnections to other balancing areas.

Objectivity by design: The impact of AI-driven approach on employees' soft skills evaluation

Engineers’ team collaboration skills are among software development's most important success factors. Existing Artificial Intelligence practices for the engineers' soft skills assessment mainly rely on evaluations of subjective data gathered through surveys, interviews, or observations. As a result, the insights gained by these methods are biased because of the subjective data people report. To overcome the challenge of subjectivity, we offer a novel objectivity-by-design approach for continuous AI-driven team collaboration skills analytics. The method analyzes the data from workstreams gathered from data repositories like Jira. Based on the study results, we conclude that this approach enables a continuous assessment of employees' team collaboration skills, provides more accurate insights, eliminates subjective biases, and helps uncover trends and deficits on individual and team levels. Understanding and recognizing employees' strengths and weaknesses can foster an organizational culture of growth and development. An improved organizational climate is expected to result in work satisfaction, engagement, and motivation, thus positively impacting employees, businesses, and society.

Gastric cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa - a systematic review of primary data.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of global cancer-related mortality. Despite the shifting burden of GC to low-and middle-income countries, the data regarding incidence, treatment, and outcomes in these settings are sparse. The primary aim of this systematic review was to aggregate all available data on GC in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to describe the variability in incidence across the region. Studies reporting population-based primary data on GC in SSA were considered. The inclusion was limited to primary studies published between January 1995 and March 2022 which comprised of adult patients in SSA with GC. Studies without accessible full text in either French or English language were excluded. Unadjusted GC incidence rates with their standard errors for each study were recalculated from the crude numerators and denominators provided in individual studies. A total of 5,626 articles were identified in the initial search, of which, 69 studies were retained. Reported incidence rates ranged from a high of 5.56 GC cases per 100,000 in Greater Meru Kenya to a low of 0.04 GC cases per 100,000 people in Benin City Nigeria. The overall crude pooled incidence was 1.20 GC cases per 100, 000 (95%CI 1.15-1.26) with a variability of 99.83% (I2 p < 0.001). From the 29 high-quality population-based registry studies the crude pooled incidence was 1.71 GC cases per 100,000 people (95%CI 1.56-21.88) with a variability of 99.60%. This systemic review demonstrates that GC incidence is highly variable across SSA. The limited data on GC treatment, mortality, and survival presents a significant challenge to providing a complete epidemiologic description of the burden of GC in SSA. There is a need for further robust data collection, exploration, and research studies on cancer care in SSA, with continued assessment of primary data availability.

Unlocking Continuous Improvement in Heart Failure Remote Monitoring: A Participatory Approach to Unveil Value Dimensions and Performance Indicators.

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) constitutes a public health concern affecting quality of life, survival, and costs. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) can enhance HF management, involving patients actively and improving follow-up. While current HF RPM assessments emphasise cost-effectiveness analysis, there is a need to consider wider RPM impacts and integrate stakeholders' perspectives into assessments for better comprehensiveness. Methods: We developed a four-stage participatory approach to select value dimensions and indicators for continuous HF RPM assessment: Stage 1 involved building a literature-informed initial list; Stage 2 utilized expert interviews for validation and list expansion; Stage 3 involved a web-Delphi process with Portuguese stakeholders and experts for agreement assessment; and Stage 4 included a conclusive expert interview. Results: A literature review identified fourteen studies on telehealth, RPM, and HF, informing an initial list of four value dimensions (Access, Clinical aspects, Acceptability, and Costs) and 22 indicators. Seven semistructured interviews validated and further adjusted the list to 38 indicators. Subsequently, the web-Delphi process engaged 29 stakeholders, giving their opinions regarding assessment aspects' relevance and proposing additional elements - 1 dimension and 12 indicators. Five value dimensions and 38 indicators (76.0%) reached group agreement for selection, while 12 did not reach an agreement. Upon expert appreciation, 5 dimensions, 43 indicators, and 6 case-mix parameters were considered relevant. Discussion: This comprehensive social approach captured diverse stakeholder perspectives, achieving agreement on pertinent HF RPM monitoring and evaluation indicators. Findings can inform visualization and management tool development, aiding day-to-day RPM evaluation and identification of improvement opportunities.

Early Recognition and Prevention of Voice Change During Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation: Continuous Auditory Voice Assessment

Early Recognition and Prevention of Voice Change During Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation: Continuous Auditory Voice Assessment

Municipal Compost Public Health, Waste Management, and Urban Agriculture: A Decadal Study of Fugitive Pb in City of Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Compostable materials constitute roughly half of waste generated globally, but only 5% of waste is actually processed through composting, suggesting that expanding compost programs may be an effective way to process waste. Compostable waste, if properly collected and processed, has value-added end use options including: residential and park landscaping, remediation of brownfield sites, and as growing media in urban agriculture (UA). Since 2001, our lab has partnered with The Food Project, a non-profit focused on youth leadership development through urban farming. From 2006 to 2022 we collected compost materials that were delivered to the farm from a variety of local sources and analyzed a suite of biogeochemical properties including lead (Pb) concentrations, organic carbon, and grain size distribution. Pb concentrations of Boston's municipal compost always exceeded the current City of San Francisco soil and compost purchase standard (80μg/g). In 2012 Boston's composting program was halted when it exceeded the 400μg/g Environmental Protection Agency's Pb in soil benchmark. Urban Pb is geomobile and must be managed to minimize resuspension and transport of fines whose Pb concentration is often elevated compared to bulk compost. Consequently, urban farmers have to source lower Pb compost from suburban suppliers at significantly greater cost. Over a 15 year period and through several city vendor contracts, Pb concentrations in municipal compost remain at levels that warrant continued surveillance and risk assessment.

Influence of a 7-day Transalpine Trail Run on cardiac biomarkers and myocardial function.

Intense physical exercise is known to increase cardiac biomarkers; however, it is unclear, whether this phenomenon is physiological, or if it indicates myocardial tissue injury. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of seven consecutive days of excessive endurance exercise on continuous assessment of cardiac biomarkers, function, and tissue injury. During a 7-day trail-running competition (Transalpine Run, distance 267.4 km, altitude ascent/descent 15556/14450 m), daily blood samples were obtained for cardiac biomarkers (hs-TnT, NT-proBNP, and suppression of tumorigenicity-2 protein (ST2)) at baseline, after each stage and 24-48 h post-race. In addition, echocardiography was performed every second day, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) before (n = 7) and after (n = 16) the race. Twelve (eight males) out of 17 healthy athletes finished all seven stages (average total finish time: 43 ± 8 h). Only NT-proBNP increased significantly (3.6-fold, p = 0.009) during the first stage and continued to increase during the race. Hs-TnT revealed an incremental trend during the first day (2.7-fold increase, p = 0.098) and remained within the pathological range throughout the race. ST2 levels did not change during the race. All cardiac biomarkers completely returned to physiological levels post-race. NT-proBNP kinetics correlated significantly with mild transient reductions in right ventricular function (assessed by TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic function; r = -0.716; p = 0.014). No significant echocardiographic changes in LV dimensions, LV function, or relevant alterations in CMR were observed post-race. In summary, this study shows that prolonged, repetitive, high-volume exercise induced a transient, significant increase in NT-proBNP associated with right ventricular dysfunction without corresponding left ventricular functional or structural impairment.

Water exchange between the Chlorenchyma and the Hydrenchyma and its physiological role in leaves with Crassulacean acid metabolism.

Direct and non-destructive measurements of plant-water relations of plants exhibiting the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthetic pathway are seldom addressed, with most findings inferred from gas exchange measurements. The main focus of this paper was to study how the water exchange between the chlorenchyma and the hydrenchyma depends on and follows the CAM photosynthetic diel pattern using non-invasive and continuous methods. Gas exchange and leaf patch clamp pressure probe (LPCP) measurements were performed on Aloe vera (L.) Burm f., a CAM species, and compared to measurements on banana (Musa acuminata Colla), a C3 species. The LPCP output pressure, Pp , of Aloe vera plants follows its diel CAM photosynthetic cycle, reversed to that observed in banana and other C3 species. The four phases of CAM photosynthesis can also be identified in the diel LPCP output pressure, Pp , cycle. The Pp values in Aloe vera are determined by the hydrenchyma turgor pressure, with both parameters being reversely related. A non-invasive and continuous assessment of the water exchange between the chlorenchyma and the hydrenchyma in CAM plants, namely, by following the changes in the hydrenchyma turgor pressure, is presented. However, showing once more how the LPCP output pressure, Pp , depends on the leaf structure, such an approach can be used to study plant-water relations in other CAM species with a leaf structure similar to Aloe vera, with the hydrenchyma composing most of the leaf volume.

Assessing water quality at Jakkur Lake: a comparative analysis of Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2 Satellite Imagery

Jakkur lake is one of the biggest lakes of Bangalore and is located on the northern side of the city. It derives its name from the name of the locality, Jakkur. The waterbody area is about 160 acres and length is about 1.5 km with several islands. Because of urbanization and increase in population, the catchment location is highly encroached. The amount of the stormwater achieving the lake has decreased making the streams dry. Remote sensing is a tool used for monitoring water bodies to present better spatial and temporal resolution. Remote sensing is also used for continuous monitoring and assessment of water bodies. Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2 are recently launched multispectral sensors that have the potential to be used for the effective monitoring of the Jakkur Lake's water quality. Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2 are similar in many approaches. Sentinel-2, however, has higher spatial resolution. The aim of this research was to find out if Sentinel-2 produces better results than Landsat-8 OLI in testing water quality parameters in the Jakkur lake. The parameters of interest were chlorophyll_a and turbidity. The results show that Sentinel-2 generates better results. For Sentinel-2, the R2 values for chlorophyll_a and turbidity were 0.975 and 0.845 respectively whilst for Landsat-8, the chlorophyll_a and turbidity R2 values were 0.911 and 0.747 respectively.
