Artificial intelligence driven framework for enhancing sustainability and resilience in communal cattle insurance in Lupane District Zimbabwe

Communal cattle farming in Sub-Saharan Africa continues to face destabilization from non-linear climate variability, yet insurance penetration remains negligible. In Lupane District, Zimbabwe, uptake is exceptionally low at approximately 0.01%, despite recurrent droughts that threaten household livelihoods. This study...

ECHO: Explainable Co-editing with Human-in-the-loop Operations for Presentation Slide Refinement

Authoring and refining presentation slides is time-consuming in academic and professional settings. Although generative AI lowers the barrier to creating initial drafts, its black-box, one-way workflow often limits fine-grained control. A formative study with 10 frequent presentation authors identified trial-and-error...

Teaching Data Cleaning in Machine Learning: A Misconception-Driven Pedagogical Framework for Explainable and Ethical Data Preprocessing

This paper proposes a four-phase instructional sequence — Motivational Grounding, Mechanism Diagnosis, Algorithm-Context Mapping, Algorithm-Context Mapping, and Explainability and Ethical Reflection — operationalized through a multi-dimensional Instructor Cleaning Strategy Matrix, embedding explainability and ethical r...

METHODS AND MODELS FOR OPTIMIZING FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), predictive analytics, and intelligent automation is transforming the organization of financial and administrative processes. Financial administration traditionally depends on large volumes of structured and...

A proof of a conjecture of R. Ford: semi-meanders with two mountain ranges and Euler's totient function

We prove a conjecture of R. Ford stated in 2017 in the OEIS entry A000010 (Euler's totient function): for n > 1, the number of semi-meander solutions for n whose top arches contain exactly 2 mountain ranges and exactly 2 arches of length 1 equals phi(n). In Ford's setting, the points 1, ..., 2n lie on a line, the botto...

Phonon–Photon–Spin Transduction: A First-Principles Pedagogical Derivation from Lattice Vibrations to Conditional Spin Response

This pedagogical technical note derives a connected model from a one-dimensional monoatomic lattice through acoustic phonons, strain, photoelastic refractive-index modulation, Stokes and anti-Stokes optical sidebands, and a conditional spin-population response. It explains why a realistic optical-to-spin step requires...

Causal-Reasoning World Models: Toward AI’s Subjectivity through Backward Generation

Machine learning and Voronoi-based decision boundaries for Bacterial vaginosis to determine population- specific microbial interactions.

In this study we utilize machine learning techniques to create predictive models and determine key bacterial interactions for the diagnosis of Bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal syndrome affecting reproductive-age women globally. It is associated with various adverse obstetric and gynecol...

Potential Dangers of AI in Teaching: An Ecological Analysis of Teacher Agency

Drawing on Priestley, Biesta, and Robinson’s ecological approach to teacher agency, and on Biesta and Tedder’s account of agency as an ecological achievement, this paper defines teacher agency not as a personal trait but as something achieved through the interaction of past experience, future orientation, present judge...

The Algorithmic Well‐Being Paradox: When AI Decision Delegation Helps and Hurts Consumer Well‐Being

ABSTRACT As generative AI increasingly shapes consumer decision‐making, its implications for consumer well‐being remain unclear. Existing research largely focuses on the trade‐off between algorithmic efficiency and autonomy loss. This research advances understanding by proposing the algorithmic well‐being paradox, wher...

Explainable artificial intelligence in geospatial disaster modeling: A systematic review of methods, applications, and challenges

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have significantly improved geospatial disaster modeling applications, particularly in flood, landslide, wildfire, and earthquake susceptibility assessments. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models integrated with geographic information systems (GIS) and remot...
