Proton beam therapy is an advanced form of cancer radiotherapy that uses high-energy proton beams to deliver precise and targeted radiation to tumors. This helps to mit-igate unnecessary radiation exposure in healthy tissues. Real-time imaging of prompt gamma rays with Compton cameras has been suggested to improve therapy efficacy. However, the camera's non-zero time resolution leads to incorrect interaction classifications and noisy images that are insufficient for accurately assessing proton delivery in patients. To address the challenges posed by the Compton camera's image quality, machine learning techniques are employed to classify and refine the generated data. These machine-learning techniques include recurrent and feedforward neural networks. A PyTorch model was designed to improve the data captured by the Compton camera. This decision was driven by PyTorch's flexibility, powerful capabilities in handling sequential data, and enhanced G PU usage. This accelerates the model's computations on large-scale radiotherapy data. Through hyperparameter tuning, the validation accuracy of our PyTorch model has been improved from an initial 7 % to over 60 %. Moreover, the PyTorch Distributed Data Parallelism strategy was used to train the RNN models on multiple G PU s, which significantly reduced the training time with a minor impact on model accuracy.

Chromosome segmentation in metaphase images is a critical yet challenging task in cytogenetics and genomics due to the inherent complexity, variability in chromosome shapes, and the scarcity of high-quality annotated datasets. This study proposes a robust instance segmentation framework that integrates an automated annotation pipeline with an enhanced deep learning architecture to address these challenges. A novel dataset is introduced, comprising metaphase images and corresponding karyograms, annotated with precise instance segmentation information across 24 chromosome classes in COCO format. To overcome the labor-intensive manual annotation process, a feature-based image registration technique leveraging SIFT and homography is employed, enabling the accurate mapping of chromosomes from karyograms to metaphase images and significantly improving annotation quality and segmentation performance. The proposed framework includes a custom Mask R-CNN model enhanced with an Attention-based Feature Pyramid Network (AttFPN), spatial attention mechanisms, and a LastLevelMaxPool block for superior multi-scale feature extraction and focused attention on critical regions of the image. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the model's efficacy, achieving a mean average precision (mAP) of 0.579 at IoU = 0.50:0.95, surpassing the baseline Mask R-CNN and Mask R-CNN with AttFPN by 3.94% and 5.97% improvements in mAP and AP50, respectively. Notably, the proposed architecture excels in segmenting small and medium-sized chromosomes, addressing key limitations of existing methods. This research not only introduces a state-of-the-art segmentation framework but also provides a benchmark dataset, setting a new standard for chromosome instance segmentation in biomedical imaging. The integration of automated dataset creation with advanced model design offers a scalable and transferable solution, paving the way for tackling similar challenges in other domains of biomedical and cytogenetic imagi

The digital transformation is a rapidly evolving trend that has significant impacts on businesses and employees. Companies need to embrace new technologies to remain competitive in this changing landscape, but the transition to digital processes is not always easy and may require changes in employees’ skills and mindsets. This article explores the role of motivation in the digital transformation process, with a focus on managing employee motivation. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, including both qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative part of the research involved in-depth interviews with experts in human resources and digital transformation, while the quantitative part was an online survey of employees from different industries undergoing digital transformation. The findings from the research were validated through a peer review process. The literature review provides a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on employee motivation in the digital era and highlights the challenges faced by companies in maintaining a motivated and engaged workforce. The review also highlights innovative approaches, such as gamification, digital incentives, and technology, that have the potential to improve employee motivation and engagement.

Recently, with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the use of automated evaluation in education has increased. Maintaining academic integrity is one of the most challenging aspects of higher education. Cheating is rampant in academic examinations and other forms of educational assessment. The vast majority of students believe that it is unethical to tolerate cheating; therefore, it is vital to devote a significant amount of effort to identifying and avoiding instances of cheating. Examining the student’s behavior is one way to determine whether they are engaged in cheating or not. This paper proposes a deep learning-based cheating detection system that can identify instances of students engaging in dishonest behavior. A YOLOv7 model is trained on a custom dataset collected from various resources. The dataset comprises two classes, i.e., cheating and not cheating, and 2565 images. Evaluation criteria like precision, F1 score, recall, and mAP (mean average precision) are used to validate the performance of the proposed model. The proposed model shows promising performance in categorizing the student’s visible actions into cheating or not cheating and achieved an overall mAP@0.5 of 0.719. Overall, the proposed method can be utilized to reduce the error rate associated with human monitoring by alerting the proper authorities whenever unusual behavior is observed during academic tests.
