Evaluating Audience Engagement as a Measure of Digital Diplomacy Effectiveness by M. M. Bazlutckaia, A. N. Sytnik, N. A. Tsvetkova

“…The analysis of selected metrics reveals two key trends in US digital diplomacy in Russia: since 2022 there has been a notable shift in focus toward Telegram as the primary platform, and while the content partially reaches the existing Russian-speaking audience, it struggles to expand its overall reach.The authors provide six recommendations for diplomatic agencies and consulting firms to enhance the tools for analyzing digital diplomacy engagement: (1) adopt automated engagement metrics that account for the interface differences among social media platforms; (2) incorporate built-in topic modeling of posts; (3) integrate sentiment analysis of comments; (4) develop mechanisms to detect traffic manipulation; (5) track multi-level reposts, the timing and spread of hashtag diplomacy, and audience growth considering these processes; and (6) evaluate digital diplomacy activity concerning responses to comments. …”

Machine learning algorithm for estimating and optimizing the phytochemical content and physicochemical properties of okra slices in an infrared heating system by Hany S. El-Mesery, Ahmed H. ElMesiry, Evans K. Quaye, Zicheng Hu, Ali Salem

“…The results showed that higher infrared intensity and air temperature improved rehydration and colour but reduced water activity and vitamin C levels. In contrast, faster airflow helped preserve quality by counteracting the negative effects of higher temperatures and infrared intensity. …”

Hyperglycemia, an abnormality that results from a breakdown of normal glucose control processes is also the result of molecular mechanisms to protect the insulin receptor? A hypoth... by Zerón HM, Maldonado AN, Sánchez MM

“…Results: Here we hypothesize that hyperglycemia is the result of a cellular mechanism of insulin receptor down-regulation to preserve its function, and at the same time, the β-cell efficiency is diminished by the initial hyperinsulinemia, which is read as a negative feedback that, if it is long-lasting, becomes irreversible due to chronic apoptotic and dedifferentiation processes. Conclusion: An increase in glucose plasma levels and its poor control triggers serious injuries caused by glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity, which affects mainly the pancreas but also leads to a systemic damage, triggering the activation of protective pathways attempting to preserve the homeostasis and prevent progression. …”
