Antimicrobial Resistance and Artificial Intelligence Applications
Full text link The computational comprehension of intelligent behavior is the main goal of the scientific and engineering field of artificial intelligence (AI). Many human professions, particularly clinical diagnosis and prognosis, greatly benefit from artificial intelligence. The authorities need to take action to stop the excessive and improper the application of antibiotics to battle the increasing percentages of resistance to antibiotics since the occurrence of AMR is becoming a serious problem. In addition to causing drug resistance, the extensive using antibiotics in medical settings has raised the risk of super-resistant microorganisms. As antimicrobial resistance (AMR) increases, physicians face challenges in rapidly treating bacterial infections, and the expense of medicine may become unaffordable for patients\u27 healthcare needs. Potential benefits include a potentially infinite speed up in the development of novel antimicrobial medications, increased precision in diagnosis and treatment, and decreased costs all at the same time, the WHO, has released a ranking of the most important dangerous infections that require the development of novel antibiotics due to the threat posed by antimicrobial resistance to global public health. The search and introduction of novel antibiotics is an expensive and time-consuming procedure. Just eighteen new antibiotics have been authorized since 2014, In line with the WHO study on clinically developed antibacterial medications. Thus, new antibiotics are desperately needed. Since its latest technological advancement, artificial intelligence (AI) has been quickly used in medication research, significantly increasing the effectiveness of discovering new antibiotics. Most AI solutions for AMR that have been proposed are designed to be useful tools to assist doctors in their work, not to take the place of a doctor\u27s prescription or advice
Gravel in the Switchyard Area of a Main Substation on Sandy Clay Soil
Full text linkThe thickness of the gravel laid in the switchyard area of a main substation impacts the touch and step voltage values. The gravel thickness generally varies from 0.08 meters to 0.15 meters, tailored to the soil texture at the substation site. This study aimed to determine the optimal gravel thickness in the switchyard equipment area of a main substation on sandy clay soil. A descriptive quantitative analysis method was used. The results revealed that increasing the gravel thickness from 0.08 meters to 0.17 meters resulted in decreased step and touch voltage values. Gravel thicknesses from 0.08 meters to 0.14 meters maintained safe step voltage levels, while thicknesses from 0.15 meters to 0.17 meters achieved the best outcomes, under both wet and dry conditions of the sandy clay soil
Measuring the Distance between Earth and Stars (A different approach)
Full text linkIn this paper, the distance between Earth and the Sun or other stars is measured. The objective is to use a different method to measure the distance between Earth and the stars. This approach for calculating the distance between the earth and stars heavily relies on trigonometry. Even though it\u27s theoretical, it can be demonstrated practically, which I have done to some extent. Although the following method can be used to measure the distance from closer stars, planets, comets, and satellites, it may need more improvisations and recalibrations for measuring the distance of far-off stars
Analysis of the Legitimacy of the International Criminal Court Within the Framework of the Universal Human Rights System
Full text link The main objective of this research is to analyze the legitimacy of the International Criminal Court in prosecuting crimes against international peace and security within the framework of the Universal Human Rights System, making it necessary to analyze the most relevant aspects of the aforementioned tribunal, as well as the conflicting positions regarding its work and perception by the international community, in an effort to critically reflect on the findings and data extracted from the sources consulted, regarding the current state of the situation and how the Criminal Court can strengthen its legitimacy. The research is descriptive in nature, using direct observation and analysis of texts, laws, and scientific articles for data collection, which led to the conclusion that the current perception of the International Criminal Court is largely negative, but without underestimating its ability to fulfill the objectives for which it was created
Working Conditions and Disengagement in Tunisian Call Centers: An Approach Based on Motivation Theories
Full text linkThis study explores the impact of working conditions on the motivation of teleoperators in a call center in Nabeul, Tunisia. Faced with the perception of difficult working conditions, often compared to neo-Taylorism, the research aims to analyze how these factors affect employee well-being and engagement. A qualitative methodology was used, based on semi-structured interviews conducted with ten teleoperators. The results show that factors such as excessive workload, strict performance monitoring, tense interpersonal relationships, an unfavorable physical environment, and a feeling of salary inequity have a negative impact on their motivation and health. These difficult working conditions lead to disengagement, high absenteeism, and a high employee turnover rate
Gravel Expanse of Substation Switchyard Area on the Coast of South Bali
Full text linkAs a security for equipment and people around the substation, a gravel bed is needed. The results of this study are to determine the thickness of the gravel overlay in the switchyard area of the substation with the texture of the regosol soil so that the equipment and people around it are avoided from the current of disturbance that flows when a disturbance occurs, and the results of this study can be useful as a reference for the installation of gravel in the construction of the substation in the location of the regosol soil texture. The method used in this study is to use descriptive quantitative analysis. The results of the study were obtained that the thickness of gravel stones of 0.15 meters to 0.17 meters has the best value in wet and dry conditions in the texture of the regosol soil on the coast of Kuta, the coast of Gianyar and the coast of Klungkung
Teaching Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to Request Objects Utilizing the Picture Exchange Communication System
Full text linkChildren with autism spectrum disorder or ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction. Their ability to communicate and use language also depends on their intellectual and social development. While some children with ASD may not be able to communicate using speech or language and others may have very limited speaking skills, there are some who may have rich vocabularies and be able to talk about specific subjects in detail. This quasi-experimental study attempted to find out if children with ASD who are unable to talk would have improved expressive communication skills, specifically in requesting objects, while being taught the picture exchange communication system or PECS. The study also discussed the challenges encountered while learning to use PECS. The findings showed that there was an improvement in the skills of the participants; however, this was not statistically significant. Nevertheless, based on the positive experience of teaching PECS within a limited time, the study recommended steps to implement the use of PECS for students with ASD
Isolation and Characterization of Yeast Strains from Burdur Sugar Factory
Full text linkThis study aimed to isolate and characterize yeast strains from diverse sampling points within the Burdur Sugar Factory, including pulp, bagasse, transport water, molasses, and filter press soil. Yeast isolation was performed using Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar, and colonies were analyzed for growth at elevated temperatures, heavy metal resistance, killer toxin production, and textile dye removal capabilities. A total of 16 yeast strains were isolated, with the highest colony counts observed in pulp and bagasse samples, while no growth occurred in molasses or filter press soil. Physiological characterization revealed that 11 strains exhibited growth at 37 °C, and all strains demonstrated lead resistance at 5mM concentration, though resistance to other heavy metals was negligible. Killer toxin assays identified that BS12 effectively inhibited five other strains, highlighting its potential for fermentation applications. In the textile dye removal test, all strains grew in dye-enriched media, but only one strain BS8, isolated from bagasse, showed significant color removal. These findings suggest that the unique microenvironment of the sugar factory supports yeast strains with diverse and potentially valuable metabolic properties. Further molecular characterization is recommended to confirm species-level identification and explore the industrial applications of these yeasts in biotechnology, biofuel production, and environmental remediation
Characterizing Ochratoxin A Production in Aspergillus Section Nigri: A. foetidus var. pallidus as an Emerging Contributor
Full text linkMycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, posing significant health risks to humans and animals. Among these, ochratoxins, primarily produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium species, are recognized for their nephrotoxic and carcinogenic properties. This study investigates the growth and ochratoxin A (OTA) production of Aspergillus Section Nigri species isolated from grapes in the Aegean region of Turkey. The Agar Plug and Rice Culture methods were employed to assess OTA production. While Aspergillus carbonarius is widely known as the primary producer of OTA, the study also identified that 27% of Aspergillus foetidus var. pallidus strains produced OTA, with two strains exceeding 750 ppb in production. The Agar Plug method was found to be faster and more efficient compared to the Rice Culture method, with both methods yielding satisfactory recovery rates. These findings highlight the role of environmental factors in OTA production and suggest that A. foetidus var. pallidus could also significantly contribute to OTA contamination, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies in agriculture and food safety
