Currently, diabetes is the most common chronic disease in the world, affecting 23.7% of the population in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Diabetes may be the cause of lower-limb amputations, kidney failure and blindness among adults. Therefore, diagnosing the disease in its early stages is essential in order to save human lives. With the revolution in technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could play a central role in the early prediction of diabetes by employing Machine Learning (ML) technology. In this paper, we developed a diagnosis system using machine learning models for the detection of type 2 diabetes among adults, through the adoption of two different diabetes datasets: one for training and the other for the testing, to analyze and enhance the prediction accuracy. This work offers an enhanced classification accuracy as a result of employing several pre-processing methods before applying the ML models. According to the obtained results, the implemented Random Forest (RF) classifier offers the best classification accuracy with a classification score of 98.95%.

Partnering has taken root all over the world as a remedy for the adversarial relation between parties concerned with construction projects. It is deemed to be derived from Keiretsu in Japan where parties related cooperate with one another as a team gaining reputations for completing projects on schedule and budget while maintaining high standard of quality. However, Keiretsu is now being weakened in proportion to the economic recession and there is an important change that needs to happen in the industry. The aims of this study are to find out the essence of Keiretsu by comparing Keiretsu with Partnering and to look for the direction of the reform plan.

The rapid advancement of technologies within the Fourth Industrial Revolution is expected to bring significant changes to the work environment across industries. While automation and digitalization not only enhance productivity but also health and safety, they also pose new health risks such as isolation, technostress, and musculoskeletal disorders. The rise of remote work and platform labor necessitates strengthening social protections for workers' health rights. To ensure that technological progress leads to better worker health, proactive and comprehensive occupational health policies are essential. Cultivating interdisciplinary expertise in occupational health professionals is also crucial. Industrial hygienists can play a pivotal role in assessing and managing the health impacts of technological changes, as well as bridging the gap between innovation and worker well-being.

In the growing digitalized world, the European Union implemented the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR) to establish a comprehensive data protection framework across member states. Given the constitutional roots of GDPR, the EU's regulatory approach is different than other data protection regimes. The new regulation has strengthened individual rights to data protection, but it also introduced several obligations for businesses that collect and process personal data. We review the existing literature on privacy, particularly GDPR, from a policy perspective. The evidence outlines data regulation's effects on competition, innovation, marketing activities, and cross-border data flows. The discussion highlights the tradeoffs between increased regulation of data protection and its effects on the market.

This study is to introduce a comprehensive framework of a crisis management system developed at a prominent hospital in South Korea. Throughout recent decades, especially in the recent years, the way in which to cope with both internal and external challenges has been one of the most critical issues. Since the incident management system in the U.S. is acknowledged as the most advanced crisis management model in the world, a portion of this study refers to the Hospital Incident Command System(HICS) provided by the California Emergency Medical Services Authority(EMSA). Nevertheless, the framework suggested in this article was designed based on a distinctive Korean hospital setting. The main contents of this study are as follows; categorization of each type of crisis, organization of a crisis management team in a non-crisis or crisis state, crisis assessment by life cycle stage, and establishment of crisis management protocol. Even though many types of crises are unspecified, those can be categorized into external crisis, medical crisis, and utility & activity failure. A crisis management organization should be operated and consisted differently- depending on a crisis or non-crisis situation. From a life-cycle perspective, the range by which the crisis should be managed extends from pre-stage to post-stage of the crisis. It is important to set proper scenarios and manuals by crisis type to develop a crisis management framework of high quality. With continuous efforts, hospitals can prepare for the uncertainty to better concentrate on core business operations.

In the twentieth century, due to extraordinary development of companies and life style, etc, market environments to which companies around the world currently face are being changed with reflecting the current age in various fields, which result from globalization, digitalized innovation, diversity by information acceptance, an enhanced level of a consumer's consciousness, developed mass media, etc. The companies are trying to expand their sale areas, not only products but also their cultures, images, and brand power in the name of a 'marketing' in a space In other words, if companies and brands express some identities without considering an entire image evaluated by customers, a mis-positioning for the companies and the brands may be caused. In this case, the companies and brands may not influence on potential major customers at all, of an image for the companies and brands may be degrade Accordingly, a space marketing is required as a distinguished strategic means in characterizing identities according to brands. Also, a design for communicating the space marketing with the customers is required. Therefore, the purpose and effects of the present research are to analyze how identity characteristics for brands and company images are reflected by analyzing a faadeof a hall for housing cultures, and are to analyze how they are recognized by customer.

Background: Many developing countries are lagging behind in reporting epidemiological data for individual central nervous system (CNS) tumors. This paper aimed to elicit patterns for the epidemiology of individual World Health Organization (WHO) classified CNS tumors in countries registered by WHO as "developing". Materials and Methods: Cyber search was carried out through 66 cancer networks/registries and 181 PubMed published papers that reported counts of CNS tumors for the period of 2009-2012. The relationship between the natural log of incidence Age Standardized Rate (ASR) reported by Globocan and Latitude/ Longitude was investigated. Results: Registries for 21 countries displayed information related to CNS tumors. In contrast tends for classified CNS tumor cases were identified for 38 countries via 181 PubMed publications. Extracted data showed a majority of unclassified reported cases [PubMed (38 countries, 45.7%), registries (21 countries, 96.1%)]. For classified tumors, astrocytic tumors were the most frequently reported type [PubMed (38 countries, 1,245 cases, 15.7%), registries (21 countries, 627 cases, 1.99%]. A significant linear regression relationship emerged between latitudes and reported cases of CNS tumors. Conclusions: Previously unreported trends of frequencies for individually classified CNS tumors were elucidated and a possible link of CNS tumors occurrence with geographical location emerged.

Established as the first science park in the world in the late 1950's, the Research Triangle Park(RTP) has not jut grown significantly but also has been successful in the transition from the exogenous development model to the endogenous development model. In this context, this paper attempts to explore the evolutionary path of the RTP by drawing upon the concept of triple-helix spaces of regional innovation. Firstly, the three research universities in the triangle area, as a knowledge space, played a fundamental role for forming the RTP. However, it is difficult to say that the regional universities, as opposed to the Silicon Valley and the Boston area, have had a significant impact on inducing the dynamics of the cluster evolution and the triple helix spaces. Secondly, it can be argued that the North Carolina's Board of Science and Technology, which was formed in 1961 but traced back to the 1950's in its origin, has been a centerpiece of a consensus space that makes a contribution to creating, sustaining and transforming the RTP as a triple-helix-based innovation cluster. Thirdly, there have been a plenty of agents to be an innovation space in the RTP. Particularly, the North Carolina Biotechnology Center(NCBC) and the Microelectronic Center of North Carolina(MCNC) have been the boundary permeable agents to make triple-helix agents interact. Today, the RTP has the triple-helix spaces with the structure that a consensus spaces is centered on out of the three, but all of those are inter-connected and influenced by each other. It can be claimed that the RTP today shows the dynamic structure of cluster evolution in a way in which the existing industry sectors have adapted to the changes in external environment and the new industry sectors have emerged at the same time.
