Real-Time Predator Detection And Child-Centered Intervention In Multi-Platform Messaging: A System Architecture, Aubrey L. Douglas

Defensive Publications Series

We describe a system for detecting adult predatory behavior directed at minor users across five mobile messaging platforms (Discord, Instagram, Snapchat, SMS/MMS, Roblox) via on-device passive capture on the minor's own Android device. The system introduces three novel techniques not previously documented in either academic literature or commercial parental-monitoring products: (1) cross-platform stylometric fingerprinting that links blocked adult accounts to newly-created accounts by writing style rather than platform identifiers; (2) in-context grooming pedagogy delivering real-time named-tactic warnings to the child at the moment of manipulation, using non-punitive framing and one-tap protective action; and (3) three-stream ingestion with concealment-as-evidence semantics, where …

Analysis Of Factors Affecting Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Performance In Private Hospital “X” Surabaya, Yuliana Yuliana, Dewi Sri Surya Wuisan

International Conference on Business and Management Research (ICBMR)

This study investigates the effect of six key factors on pharmaceutical supply chain performance (PSCP) at Private Hospital “X” in Surabaya: inventory level control, demand forecasting, supply chain flexibility, supply chain integration, supply chain visibility, and information sharing. A quantitative approach was applied using a questionnaire survey in April 2025, with 187 medical and non-medical staff meeting the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), complemented by Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) and Prediction-Oriented Segmentation (PLS-POS). Results show that all factors positively and significantly influence PSCP (p < 0.05), with inventory level control being the most dominant (β = 0.336), followed by supply chain visibility (β = 0.224). IPMA identifies inventory level control and demand forecasting as high importance–high performance, while supply chain visibility shows high performance but lower perceived importance. These findings align with the Resource-Based View (RBV), highlighting the strategic value of integrated internal resource management. The study recommends enhancing pharmaceutical supply chain systems to improve hospital efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability.

Modeling Urban Heat Island Mitigation Strategies In Egyptian Cities Using Envi-Met, Islam M. Gaber, Abbas M. Hassan, Tarek Elkashef, Ola A. Gad, Ahmed M. Abdo, Abdelrazek Elkomy

HBRC Journal

Mitigation techniques for urban heat islands (UHI) have emerged as a critical concern for global urban environmental sustainability. Passive cooling employing cool materials and/or urban greening has shown to be the most effective strategy for mitigating the impacts of UHI. This latter method, however, is relatively new in the literature of urban environmental studies, and research on it is still limited, particularly for cities in hot-dry climatic zones. This study aims to investigate the possibility of improving albedo rates and adopting urban greening measures, such as greening building roofs, roadways, and walkways, in several Egyptian cities located in various climatic …

Discourse Of Open Party Contestation In Jemaah Tarbiyah In Indonesia, Gili Argenti, Caroline Paskarina, Nani Darmayanti, Nandang Alamsah Deliarnoor

Jurnal Wacana Politik

Factionalization in Indonesian political parties is commonly explained by elite rivalry, coalition choices, or clientelistic interests, leaving intra-party conflict over the meaning of ideology less well explained. This article asks how the discourse of an open party constructs and reveals ideological contestation within Jemaah Tarbiyah and how that contestation contributed to the emergence of the Gelora Indonesia Party. Using Teun A. van Dijk's critical discourse analysis (CDA), the study integrates textual analysis, social cognition, and social context. The empirical material consists of in-depth interviews with 20 purposively selected actors from PKS, GARBI, Gelora, and related Tarbiyah networks, together with party …

Supporting The Academic Success Of Undergraduate Nursing Students Through Peer Mentoring, Kate Fayer, Jill Campbell, Erin Higley

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

The profession of nursing is incredibly demanding requiring extensive knowledge, clinical skills, and experience to develop the clinical judgment necessary to provide safe and effective patient care. According to Wang et al.¹, undergraduate nursing students describe higher levels of stress and stress-related symptoms than the general student population. This increased level of stress is one of the most significant barriers facing undergraduate nursing students ability to complete their studies^1-3. A peer mentoring program with undergraduate nursing students can help alleviate the adverse effects of stress and improve their overall academic performance^1,4-5.

Perceptions Of Ai Caring Behaviors Among University Students In Kenya And The United States, Rachel W. Kimani, Rose Maina

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

As AI tools increasingly mediate health communication, questions arise about whether users perceive these systems as capable of relational behaviors such as caring, empathy, or emotional support. Existing scholarship emphasizes accuracy and safety, yet little is known about how the emotional tone of AI communication, caring versus neutral, shapes user perceptions across cultural contexts.

This research-in-progress pilot examines how college students in the United States and Kenya interpret caring-tone and neutral-tone AI responses in health scenarios. Using a 2 (Tone: Caring vs. Neutral) × 2 (Health Context: Mental vs. Physical) × 2 (Site: U.S. vs. Kenya) mixed factorial vignette design, …

Epistemic Resilience As A Media Literacy Goal: Moving Beyond Detection In The Age Of Generative Ai, Author Information Removed

JMLE Submissions Open for Review

Generative AI, encompassing large language models, image generators, and voice synthesis tools, has transformed the information landscape in ways that extend well beyond the production of fabricated content. By undermining the evidentiary signals through which individuals and communities have historically calibrated epistemic trust, it poses a structural challenge to existing media literacy frameworks. These frameworks, built around a “detect-and-debunk” paradigm, equip learners to identify false content through source verification, fact-checking, and evidence evaluation. These skills remain valuable but rest on assumptions that generative AI has rendered progressively less tenable. This article proposes “epistemic resilience” as a complementary goal: the cultivated …

Online Humiliation And Audience Responsibility In Adolescent Media Literacy Education, Author Information Removed

JMLE Submissions Open for Review

Online humiliation raises an educational problem that extends beyond identifying harmful messages: audience participation can make another person's embarrassment socially rewarding. This essay develops an argument for teaching responsibility for reactions and redistribution. Five student quotations reported in a Ghanaian doctoral manuscript illustrate tensions between recognition, joking, unwanted exposure and silent disagreement. They inform a conceptual discussion rather than a new analysis of focus-group transcripts. Drawing on scholarship on adolescent peer relations, bystander behaviour and media literacy, the essay distinguishes interpreting a message from judging what one's participation does to others. It proposes a classroom sequence using fictional exchanges to …

Adolescent Vulnerability To Disinformation, Polarisation, Filter Bubbles And Echo Chambers: A Systematic Review With Implications For Media Literacy Education, Author Information Removed

JMLE Submissions Open for Review

Disinformation, polarisation, filter bubbles and echo chambers pose growing risks to adolescents, as they are a group that consumes large amounts of information via social media. This paper presents a systematic review, following the PRISMA method, of the available empirical evidence on these risks among adolescents. Twelve empirical studies, published between 2019 and 2025, and collected from Web of Science and Scopus, were analysed. The results evidence that disinformation is the best-documented risk, whilst polarisation receives only marginal coverage and there is no direct empirical evidence regarding filter bubbles and echo chambers. Adolescents’ vulnerability is not uniform: it depends on …

Nucseg: An Effective Detectron2 Architecture For Nuclei Instance Segmentation In Histological Images, Payman Hussein Hussan, Syefy Mohammed Mangj

Baghdad Science Journal

Nuclei are often minuscule objects within histological whole slide imaging (WSI), presenting a labor-intensive task for pathologists to identify and analyze their characteristics. The precise identification of nuclei is essential in cancer pathology to conduct both quantitative and qualitative assessments of cancerous cells found within a slice of a tumor in order to assess the level of malignancy of the tumor; and to predict the outcome of the tumor. Manual identification is labor-intensive and prone to errors, whereas automatic recognition is complicated by the varied appearances and overlapping characteristics of nuclei, along with artifacts from digital photography. To address this …

Securitisation Without Consent: Digital Dissent And State Power In Kenya’S 2024 Protests, Dudley M. Gaciku, Arfin Sudirman, Irman G. Lanti

Jurnal Wacana Politik

This paper examines how digitally mediated dissent is securitised in hybrid regimes using Kenya's 2024-2025 protest cycle as a case study. Although the Copenhagen School gives precedence to audience acceptance in determining the success or failure of a securitising move, the paper critiques this viewpoint drawing on contemporary securitisation scholarship. Through a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on official state communications, social media content, media reports, human rights documentation, and the researcher's reflexive observations during the protests. The findings illustrate that although the #RejectFinanceBill movement was framed by the state as a threat to national stability, public safety, …

Identifying Barriers To Reporting Concerning Behaviors In A Public Secondary School, Will Durgin

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

Threat assessment is an effective school safety practice that allows schools to identify concerning behavior and intervene before it reaches a crisis. Because this process often begins with a staff member recognizing and reporting a concern, this study examined how school staff interpret concerning behavior, understand their responsibility to report it, and what can make reporting more difficult.

The study used a two-phase action research design in a small, rural public school district in western New York. The first phase used a survey built around five behavior vignettes, while the second phase consisted of staff interviews.

Staff generally agreed when …

Pediococcus Pentosaceus Osteomyelitis: A Case Report And Scoping Review, Mariana Rodriguez, Jessica Sima, Stephanie Campbell, Amanda L. Killeen

School of Podiatric Medicine - Student Research

Pediococcus pentosaceus (Pep) is a Gram-positive lactic acid bacterium widely utilized in food fermentation and recognized for its probiotic properties. While generally considered non-pathogenic, it can act as an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised hosts. Its intrinsic resistance to glycopeptides, with additional reported resistance to tetracycline and novobiocin, limits empiric treatment options and poses a diagnostic challenge when encountered in clinical cultures and deemed to be pathogenic.

Persistent Delegated Communication Brokering System And Method For Individuals With Intermittent Communication Access, Eric Zavesky

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method for persistent delegated communication brokering on behalf of individuals with intermittent communication access is disclosed. The system captures a requester's outreach objectives during a brief communication session and structures them into a persistent obligation object that survives session termination, continuing to execute outreach, information gathering, and action coordination after the requester's communication channel has closed. The system resolves non-dialable contact references through multi-source discovery with contextual confidence scoring and a trust-tiered no-auto-contact gate. A multi-modal outreach agent conducts autonomous outreach with mandatory self-identification, optionally employing biometric cloning of the requester, and continuously classifies contacted-party responses into …
