    Abstract Epigenomic anomalies contribute significantly to the development of numerous human disorders. The development of epigenetic research tools is essential for understanding how epigenetic marks contribute to gene expression. A gene-editing technique known as CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) typically targets a particular DNA sequence using a guide RNA (gRNA). CRISPR/Cas9 technology has been remodeled for epigenome editing by generating a 'dead' Cas9 protein (dCas9) that lacks nuclease activity and juxtaposing it with an epigenetic effector domain. Based on fusion partners of dCas9, a specific epigenetic state can be achieved. CRISPR-based epigenome editing has widespread application in drug screening, cancer treatment and regenerative medicine. This paper discusses the tools developed for CRISPR-based epigenome editing and their applications.

    Abstract The impact of aggressive capitalist approaches on social, economic and planet sustainability is significant. Economic issues such as inflation, energy costs, taxes and interest rates persist and are further exacerbated by global events such as wars, pandemics and environmental disasters. A sustained history of financial crises exposes weaknesses in modern economies. The Great Attrition, with many quitting jobs, adds to concerns. The diversity of the workforce poses new challenges. Transformative approaches are essential to safeguard societies, economies and the planet. In this work, we use big data and machine learning methods to discover multi-perspective parameters for multi-generational labour markets. The parameters for the academic perspective are discovered using 35,000 article abstracts from the Web of Science for the period 1958-2022 and for the professionals' perspective using 57,000 LinkedIn posts from 2022. We discover a total of 28 parameters and categorized them into five macro-parameters, Learning & Skills, Employment Sectors, Consumer Industries, Learning & Employment Issues and Generations-specific Issues. A complete machine learning software tool is developed for data-driven parameter discovery. A variety of quantitative and visualization methods are applied and multiple taxonomies are extracted to explore multi-generational labour markets. A knowledge structure and literature review of multi-generational labour markets using over 100 research articles is provided. It is expected that this work will enhance the theory and practice of artificial intelligence-based methods for knowledge discovery and system parameter discovery to develop autonomous capabilities and systems and promote novel approaches to labour economics and markets, leading to the development of sustainable societies and economies.

    Abstract Mental health issues can have significant impacts on individuals and communities and hence on social sustainability. There are several challenges facing mental health treatment; however, more important is to remove the root causes of mental illnesses because doing so can help prevent mental health problems from occurring or recurring. This requires a holistic approach to understanding mental health issues that are missing from the existing research. Mental health should be understood in the context of social and environmental factors. More research and awareness are needed, as well as interventions to address root causes. The effectiveness and risks of medications should also be studied. This paper proposes a big data and machine learning-based approach for the automatic discovery of parameters related to mental health from Twitter data. The parameters are discovered from three different perspectives: Drugs and Treatments, Causes and Effects, and Drug Abuse. We used Twitter to gather 1,048,575 tweets in Arabic about psychological health in Saudi Arabia. We built a big data machine learning software tool for this work. A total of 52 parameters were discovered for all three perspectives. We defined six macro-parameters (Diseases and Disorders, Individual Factors, Social and Economic Factors, Treatment Options, Treatment Limitations, and Drug Abuse) to aggregate related parameters. We provide a comprehensive account of mental health, causes, medicines and treatments, mental health and drug effects, and drug abuse, as seen on Twitter, discussed by the public and health professionals. Moreover, we identify their associations with different drugs. The work will open new directions for a social media-based identification of drug use and abuse for mental health, as well as other micro and macro factors related to mental health. The methodology can be extended to other diseases and provides a potential for discovering evidence for forensics toxicology from social and digital media.

    Abstract This study highlights the organisational-level factors that become the reason for propagating hostile behaviours among female nurses. Freire's theory of oppression has been used as an underpinning theory for developing the conceptual framework. This study empirically verifies the conceptual framework of the study that gender discrimination and lack of administrative support are the antecedents of person-related hostility, which is the reason for poor job performance in the healthcare sector. We applied a quantitative research approach, using questionnaires to collect data. Total of 707 survey forms were collected from female nurses working in public sector hospitals in four main cities of Pakistan. The software SPSS 20 and SmartPLS 3 were used for the final data analysis. All hypotheses regarding the direct and indirect relationship of variables were accepted. Gender discrimination and lack of administrative support were positively associated with person-related hostility. Moreover, person-related hostility also mediated the relationship between independent variables (gender discrimination, lack of administrative support) and dependent variable (poor job performance). Future research is directed to study person-related hostility among nursing staff of semi-urban areas and small towns with low literacy rates, considering other dependent variables like burnout, mental well-being, and mental health. HR strategies and policies for fair performance evaluation and timely promotions of nursing professionals are proposed in the study for building an overall healthy environment.

    Abstract The present study focuses on a crosswise stream of liquid-holding nano-sized particles over an elongating (stretching) surface. Tiny particles of copper are added into base liquid (water). The influence of the micro rotation phenomenon is also considered. By means of appropriate transformations non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations are attained that govern the flow problem. The Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme, together with the shooting method, is engaged to acquire results numerically. Micropolar coupling parameter, microelements concentration and nanoparticles volume fraction effects are examined over the profiles of velocity, temperature and micro-rotation. Moreover, heat flux and shear stress are computed against pertinent parameters and presented through bar graphs. Outcomes revealed that material constant has increasing effects on normal components of flow velocity; however, it decreasingly influences the tangential velocity, micro-rotation components and temperature profile. Temperature profile appeared to be higher for weak concentration of microelements. It is further noticed that normal velocity profile is higher in magnitude for the case of strong concentration (n = 0) of microelements, whereas tangential velocity profile is higher near the surface for the case of weak concentration (n = 0.5) of microelements. An increase of 3.74% in heat flux is observed when the volume fraction of nanoparticles is increased from 1 to 5%.

    Abstract Iterative solutions of sparse linear systems and sparse eigenvalue problems have a fundamental role in vital fields of scientific research and engineering. The crucial computing kernel for such iterative solutions is the multiplication of a sparse matrix by a dense vector. Efficient implementation of sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) and linear solvers are therefore essential and has been subjected to extensive research across a variety of computing architectures and accelerators such as central processing units (CPUs), graphical processing units (GPUs), many integrated cores (MICs), and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Unleashing the full potential of an architecture/accelerator requires determining the factors that affect an efficient implementation of SpMV. This article presents the first of its kind, in-depth survey covering over two hundred state-of-the-art optimization schemes for solving sparse iterative linear systems with a focus on computing SpMV. A new taxonomy for iterative solutions and SpMV techniques common to all architectures is proposed. This article includes reviews of SpMV techniques for all architectures to consolidate a single taxonomy to encourage cross-architectural and heterogeneous-architecture developments. However, the primary focus is on GPUs. The major contributions as well as the primary, secondary, and tertiary contributions of the SpMV techniques are first highlighted utilizing the taxonomy and then qualitatively compared. A summary of the current state of the research for each architecture is discussed separately. Finally, several open problems and key challenges for future research directions are outlined.

    Abstract Economic issues, such as inflation, energy costs, taxes, and interest rates, are a constant presence in our daily lives and have been exacerbated by global events such as pandemics, environmental disasters, and wars. A sustained history of financial crises reveals significant weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the foundations of modern economies. Another significant issue currently is people quitting their jobs in large numbers. Moreover, many organizations have a diverse workforce comprising multiple generations posing new challenges. Transformative approaches in economics and labour markets are needed to protect our societies, economies, and planet. In this work, we use big data and machine learning methods to discover multi-perspective parameters for multi-generational labour markets. The parameters for the academic perspective are discovered using 35,000 article abstracts from the Web of Science for the period 1958-2022 and for the professionals' perspective using 57,000 LinkedIn posts from 2022. We discover a total of 28 parameters and categorised them into 5 macro-parameters, Learning & Skills, Employment Sectors, Consumer Industries, Learning & Employment Issues, and Generations-specific Issues. A complete machine learning software tool is developed for data-driven parameter discovery. A variety of quantitative and visualisation methods are applied and multiple taxonomies are extracted to explore multi-generational labour markets. A knowledge structure and literature review of multi-generational labour markets using over 100 research articles is provided. It is expected that this work will enhance the theory and practice of AI-based methods for knowledge discovery and system parameter discovery to develop autonomous capabilities and systems and promote novel approaches to labour economics and markets, leading to the development of sustainable societies and economies.
