Credit worthiness tool for Credit Unions

The core objectives for the Capstone project were to mine data in order to create a tool for Credit Unions (and banks) that will evaluate customers credit worthiness based on an ethical standardised criteria that is transparent to all. We explored why this was necessary and explored how important it could be to the business. Our focus is on helping Credit Unions have a stronger online presence as the banking sector has been changing rapidly and moving online and Credit Unions are currently behind in the market in this regard .This tool would help automate the credit approval process, reducing the underwriting time and allow customers to get answers quicker in regards to the potential of securing a line of credit. All this in just a few clicks or taps of the finger

Nothern Lights Cathedral

The town of Alta, which is located north of the polar circle, is home to the Cathedral of the Northern Lights. The circularstyled modern church was constructed in 2013 utilizing designs created by the architectural firm LINK Arkitektur, in association with Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, as the outcome of an architectural competition that was first held in 2001. The church was built to take the place of the Alta Church as the main church for the parish and deanery

Human Resource Management

A clock requires every single, even the smallest piece of its’ machinery to perform the tasks that is meant to do in order to function correctly. If there is a piece that is not working properly, it can be the cause of the clock not working at all. This same premise can be applied to the work environment, viewing the organization as ‘’the clock’’ and employees as ‘’the machinery’’, performing tasks for the general functionality of the organization that could lead it to either success or failure. This is the reason why it is vital for any type of organization that is willing to achieve its’ goals to make sure that every single individual working within it is performing their tasks to the best of their capacities. If the organization is not a human entity, how can it make sure that its’ workforce is complying to play their part for the success of the company? Well, the answer to this question could be Human Resource Management

Revised Avenues of Assessment in Higher Education in the presence of AI Generative Contents

This study explores the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools on academic assessments, focusing on their efficacy in generating unique content across various domains. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal from CCT College Dublin emphasizes the increasing prevalence of AI generative tools and their potential influence on learning quality in academia. The study addresses concerns related to assessment standards in higher education and proposes the evaluation of AI-generated content reliability

Pronostic of Colo-Rectal Cancer (CRC) Using Machine Learning Models on Organoids Derived of Patient

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is a globally prevalent and deadly carcinoma, necessitating advanced treatment approaches. Despite ongoing advancements, the mortality rate remains high. Various biological models, including animal studies, cell lines, and the emerging organoid model, contribute to understanding molecular mechanisms. Organoids, 3D cultures derived from tumor epithelial cells, offer advantages such as enhanced diversity, genetic modification, and extended culture capabilities. Recent applications of machine learning (ML) in predicting CRC treatment responses using organoids and tissue data indicate a promising avenue for advancing personalized therapies

Applying Machine Learning to Biological Status (QValues) from Physio-chemical Conditions of Irish Rivers

This thesis evaluates and optimises a variety of predictive models for assessing biological classification status, with an emphasis on water quality monitoring. Grounded in previous pertinent studies, it builds on the findings of (Arrighi and Castelli, 2023) concerning Tuscany’s river catchments, highlighting a solid correlation between river ecological status and parameters like summer climate and land use. They achieved an 80% prediction precision using the Random Forest algorithm, particularly adept at identifying good ecological conditions, leveraging a dataset devoid of chemical data

Open access at a crossroads: library publishing and bibliodiversity

The open access movement has gained momentum since the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) first launched twenty years ago. Notably, there has been a drastic increase in the number of open access articles. Concerns have been raised about equality and diversity issues, however, for researchers without an affiliation (e.g. independent, unemployed and retired researchers) and researchers on the ‘scientific periphery’ who are excluded from the gold open access model. This article argues that the gold open access model is destructive to the knowledge production ecosystem by addressing the importance of bibliodiversity and the ways in which library publishing can contribute to sustainable and equitable knowledge production

Version Control Software And Its Possible Impact On Students Academic Integrity

Ensuring that students treat their work with integrity has become increasingly difficult in recent years. The advent of Generative AI, Essay Mills, coupled with old fashioned plagiarism and a shift to “online” learning has created a huge shift in the domain of education. Unfortunately, this has manifested as Academic misconduct in many cases and indeed, it could be speculated, that many cases of misconduct are not recognised or discovered. This presentation discusses how version control can be used as a tool to avoid plagiarism
