The operation of pharmacy systems undergoes transformation through artificial intelligence (AI), which advances from manual procedures to intelligent adaptive tools. These technologies enhance daily operations through prescription verification, drug interaction alerts, and inventory management while decreasing human mistakes. Through AI, patients gain access to customized medication recommendations, automatic appointment alerts, and virtual support services. The advancement of technology creates multiple new difficulties for healthcare systems. The increasing integration of AI in healthcare creates growing concerns about data privacy alongside algorithmic bias and the requirement for decision-making explanations. This paper evaluates AI systems against conventional pharmacy methods through an assessment of their precision and speed and their impact on patient safety and ethical preparedness. The adoption of AI systems requires strong ethical protections together with defined regulatory frameworks to maintain human clinical decision-making authority in patient care.

Investigating relationships between reading comprehension and oral reading fluency through AI-driven tool reading progress

10.11591/ijaas.v14.i4.pp1192-1199
Pham Duc Thuan , Pham Thi Tam
This study investigates the relationship between reading comprehension and oral reading fluency components—accuracy and rate—among 113 Vietnamese EFL university students using the AI-powered tool Microsoft Reading Progress. Over 14 weeks, students engaged in weekly oral reading and comprehension tasks using integrated Microsoft Teams features. Fluency metrics (accuracy and rate) and comprehension scores were automatically collected and analyzed using Pearson correlation. The results revealed weak but statistically significant positive correlations between reading comprehension and accuracy (r = .257, p < .01), and between comprehension and rate (r = .289, p < .01), suggesting that improvements in fluency modestly support comprehension. A strong correlation between accuracy and rate (r = .765, p < .01) was also observed. The study highlights the effectiveness of Reading Progress in capturing fluency data and promoting self-paced improvement. However, limitations such as the short duration, localized sample, and constraints of accent recognition in AI-based speech analysis affect the generalizability and validity of results. The findings support the pedagogical integration of AI tools in EFL instruction while calling for future research with larger samples, extended timelines, and diversified digital tools to further validate and expand on these results.

Development of a leakage detection and alert system for liquefied petroleum gas via a mobile application

10.11591/ijaas.v14.i4.pp1099-1110
Wael A. Salah , Anees Abu Sneineh
Nowadays, ensuring the comfort and safety of house users is a top priority, and this may be accomplished by implementing smart technology to lead a convenient and safe life. Leakage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is mostly utilized in the home kitchen for cooking, is one of the frequent risks. Using a gas sensing device, a gas control system, and wireless communication units, the goal of this study is to create an LPG gas leakage warning and management system to prevent the gas from exploding by detecting the leak. When LPG gas is brought near the sensor, it detects the leakage and the buzzer is activated by activating the audio-visual alarm and closing the gas cylinder valve. The system also generates alert messages and sends them to the fire station when the LPG gas leakage has reached a critical level. Testing results of the proposed LPG leakage system show a satisfactory performance of the developed device with a quick response to LPG gas leakage. In addition, powerful audio and visual alarms are activated. An immediate message was sent to homeowners and the fire station department regarding the leakage incident to prevent the risk of gas leakage.

India is now one of the countries that is growing quickly worldwide. Today, practically for everything, a vehicle is necessary. Vehicle production is growing rapidly. One of the downsides of this enormous increase is the ineffective management of traffic. The well-planned expansion of transport organizations has resulted in a variety of challenges with travel. It is detrimental to both mankind and the economy when emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire engines are late in arriving. Smart transport is the most effective strategy to lower vehicle accidents and communicate with other cars to open a way for emergency vehicles. Here, the preliminary ideas and findings of a small-scale model of an automated transport system are presented using an innovative discovery known as Li-Fi, also known as light-fidelity. Full duplex communication is accomplished with Li-Fi, in which light is modified at speeds that are too rapid for the eye to follow. Li Fi may be used to create intelligent transportation systems since it offers various advantages over other communication protocols.

Josh Erick G. Albarico , Marcelina S. Deiparine
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 and 2022 results expose the alarming problem in the Philippines’ reading comprehension, a situation worsened by pandemic-related disruptions. This study investigates the specific reading comprehension skills where students struggle most and the factors contributing to these difficulties in a post-pandemic context. Using an explanatory sequential design, the researchers conducted reading assessments for the 30 grade 7 students, followed by interviews with 12 students and 5 teachers selected through purposive sampling. Descriptive statistics indicated that students faced the most challenges with inferential and critical-level skills, highlighting gaps in higher-order thinking. Thematic analysis identified contributing factors, including lack of reading engagement, lack of linguistic competence, remote learning repercussions, challenges from screen dependency, and environmental influences. These challenges highlight the long-term impact of the pandemic on reading development. To address this, the educational system must strengthen teacher training in reading instruction to promote active student engagement. Educators are encouraged to develop age- and interest-appropriate reading materials, use technology in reading instruction, and foster collaboration between schools, communities, and families. Targeted interventions are essential to rebuild and enhance students’ reading comprehension skills, ensuring they can meet the demands of higher-order thinking in a post-pandemic world.

Breast cancer patients with low resilience may experience adverse psychological outcomes, including stress, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and difficulties in recovery. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions in improving resilience among breast cancer patients and to provide practical guidance for healthcare practitioners in implementing these interventions. Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and PICOS framework, a comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2018-2024. Two independent reviewers screened eligible studies in two stages (title/abstract and full-text). The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool. A total of 20 studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions identified include music therapy, mindfulness, family and social support programs, cognitive behavioral therapy, digital-based interventions, and psychoeducation. Most interventions demonstrated a significant positive impact on patients’ psychological resilience, coping ability, and quality of life. Evidence suggests that resilience-focused interventions can be effectively integrated into supportive care for breast cancer patients. Healthcare practitioners should consider incorporating these strategies to address psychosocial needs. Further studies are recommended to evaluate long-term impacts and cost-effectiveness in diverse settings.

Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) among the geriatric population remains neglected, causing increase in morbidity. This study aimed to elicit knowledge, identify risk behaviour for RTIs among the elderly residing in a block of West Bengal, to determine any associations between sociodemographic profile with knowledge and risk behaviour respectively, and to assess any correlation between knowledge and risk behaviour. A community-based study was conducted using multistage sampling, among 158 geriatric residents of a rural block in West Bengal, India for a period of 3 months in 2023. Face-to-face interviews were carried out using an interview schedule. Overall median scores were calculated separately for knowledge and risk behaviour domains. Score < median score was categorized as ‘inadequate knowledge’ and score ≥ median was classified as ‘high risk’ behaviour. Nearly 30% reportedly had ‘inadequate knowledge’ while 77% had ‘high risk’ behavior for RTIs. Higher odds of inadequate knowledge and high-risk behavior were observed among those who were employed and those who availed of any social security scheme(s). Moderately positive correlation was obtained between knowledge and risk behavior.

The effectiveness of online tutoring systems largely depends on their ability to adapt to the individual needs of learners, to personalize learning activities, and to provide immediate and effective assessment and remediation. This effectiveness can only be ensured if accurate information is available regarding learners’ progress and learning profiles. In this article, we aim to propose a learner model tailored to the specificities of our academic support system, incorporating learning functions that enable personalized tutoring based on students’ needs. For this purpose, this study began with a literature review of existing learner models. We focused on five representative samples of the most widely used learner models in current learning systems: instructional management system-learner information package (IMS-LIP), public and private information for learners (PAPI), CARCHIOLO, knowledge on demand (KOD), and learner model for personalized adaptation (LMPA). We examined their characteristics and then compared them based on the following criteria: adaptability, user preferences, personalized learning, pedagogical requirements, assessment, and remediation, to evaluate their potential for integration into our system. The study revealed that these models present several limitations, which led us to propose a new learner model based on the PAPI and IMS-LIP standards. This proposal incorporates a semantic ontological structure that categorizes learner characteristics into six domains: preferences, pedagogy, administration, identification, learning, and assessment. The proposed model represents a promising solution for adapting learning processes to individual learner profiles, thereby fostering more effective and engaging educational experiences.

Aditya Pratama Sarwono , Khairunnisa Febianti
Preparing abutment teeth for fixed bridgework presents varying challenges to dental students, impacting their training effectiveness and clinical outcomes. Understanding the most difficult stages can help improve educational strategies. This study aims to rank the difficulty of each stage in abutment tooth preparation using student evaluations, identifying the greatest challenges. A quantitative approach was used, analyzing perceptions of 155 clinical dental students from 2021-2023 cohorts at Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Trisakti, through the non-parametric Friedman’s ANOVA Test. Student evaluations covered seven stages of abutment tooth preparation, identifying variability in perceived difficulty from most difficult to easiest. Results indicate the most difficult stage is proximal reduction (mean rank: 3.01), followed by cervical preparation (mean rank: 3.28), and lingual reduction (mean rank: 3.35). The stages with the lowest difficulty are finishing (mean rank: 5.35), followed by alignment of preparation between 2 abutment teeth (mean rank: 4.85), buccal reduction (mean rank: 4.13), and occlusal reduction (mean rank: 4.03). Proximal reduction is particularly difficult due to the need for high technical skills and precision, requiring accurate space estimation and careful reduction without damaging adjacent teeth. This difficulty is compounded by natural variations in tooth shapes and positions among patients. Findings highlight the importance of refining educational strategies to tackle these challenges, enhancing student learning and clinical skills. This research provides crucial data on which stages need greater emphasis in the curriculum, aiding the creation of more efficient and focused training methods.

Following targeted oral cholera vaccination (OCV) in 2018/2019, cholera cases declined. However, by July 17, 2023, Harare Western district reported 98 cases and 3 deaths. We investigated the outbreak to assess the long-term effectiveness of OCV in Harare Western district. We conducted a 1:2 unmatched case-control study among 46 cases and 92 controls. A case was any resident of Harare Western district with laboratory-confirmed cholera infection between April 22, - July 20, 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility data were analyzed and multivariable logistic regression identified independent factors. Vaccine effectiveness was calculated as (1-OR) x 100). OCV effectiveness was 72o% (95% CI 39-87; p<0.001). The majority of participants were females (52.2%) cases and 51.1% controls. Experiencing a sewage burst [aOR 9.75, 95% CI (2.60 to 36.62)] was an independent risk factor. Handwashing with soap [aOR 0.03,95% CI (0.01 to 0.17)], cholera vaccination [aOR 0.17, 95% CI (0.04 to 0.64)], and having a handwashing facility [aOR 0.04, 95% CI (0.01 to 0.18)] were independent protective factors. A total of 47.2% of boreholes (42/89) and 66.7% of wells (2/3) had excessive coliforms. Cholera strains were largely sensitive to ciprofloxacillin (90%). The outbreak was driven by water, sanitation and hygiene factors. This study provides evidence on long-term effectiveness of two-doses of OCV in an endemic urban setting. Vaccination status relied on participant recall and vaccination cards due to the absence of a central register, and while the study was sufficiently powered to assess the effectiveness of the two-dose regimen, the number of cases limited evaluation of single-dose effectiveness. Implementation of targeted OCV campaigns is recommended.

Patient safety in anesthesia remains a concern in low- and middle-income countries due to workforce shortages, limited equipment, and inconsistent protocols. In Jakarta, where demand for anesthesia is rising, baseline data on these parameters are lacking. This study aimed to identify gaps in human resources, equipment availability, and safety protocol adherence. A cross-sectional survey of all actively practicing anesthesiologists in Jakarta was conducted in January 2024, yielding 115 responses. The questionnaire, developed and face-validated through a focus group with senior anesthesiologists, covered three domains: human resources, facilities and equipment, and protocols. Internal reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. Participation was voluntary, responses were anonymous, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Prolonged work hours were reported by a minority of respondents (6.1-7%), with 22.7% agreeing that anesthesiologists' workload is too high. Most rated human resource parameters positively (median 4/5), but access to basic monitoring devices for oxygenation, ventilation, circulation, and temperature was limited. Protocol adherence was generally high (median 4-5/5), though a small minority of institutions lacked incident reporting pathways, patient risk assessment, and post-surgical recovery rooms. Improving patient safety in Jakarta requires ensuring essential monitoring equipment, optimizing staffing to manage workload, and mandating full perioperative safety protocols across facilities.

Pujaannicha Pujaannicha , Herlina Siwi Widiana
The increasing prevalence of HIV/AIDS continues to pose a significant global health challenge, with developing countries experiencing the fastest growth in transmission rates, including Indonesia. This quantitative correlational study examined the influence of HIV/AIDS-related health literacy on adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), with peer social support considered as a moderating variable. Participants included 208 PLWHA residing in Majalengka Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Data were gathered using standardized instruments measuring HIV/AIDS health literacy, treatment adherence, and peer social support, and were analyzed through moderation analysis using Jamovi software. The results demonstrated that HIV/AIDS health literacy had a significant positive effect on ARV adherence, and that peer social support strengthened this relationship. Nonetheless, the study is limited by its cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported measures, which may restrict causal inference and generalizability.

Although maternal mortality rates in Bali have declined, the achievement remains below the government’s target, highlighting the need to strengthen the role of villages as the frontline of development. This study aims to identify alternative strategies to accelerate maternal mortality reduction by examining the supply of maternal healthcare services and the demand reflected in women’s utilization of these services at the village level. Using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to map accessibility across villages and servqual model to evaluate women’s perceptions of maternal healthcare services provided through integrated services post (posyandu) and village health post (Poskesdes), the study reveals significant disparities in accessibility across villages, particularly in Tabanan, Bangli, and Karangasem Regencies. While overall perceptions of healthcare quality are positive, the largest and most significant service quality gaps occur in tangibility and responsiveness. Based on these findings, the study recommends prioritizing villages with limited access to maternal healthcare services by ensuring health coverage for pregnant women from low-income households and guaranteeing the availability of midwives in villages through incentive schemes, while adopting community-based approaches to effectively reach migrant populations and improve their utilization of maternal healthcare services.
