General Centrality in a hypergraph

The goal of this paper is to present a centrality measurement for the nodes of a hypergraph, by using existing literature which extends eigenvector centrality from a graph to a hypergraph, and literature which give a general centrality measurement for a graph. We will use this measurement to say more about the number of communications in a hypergraph, to implement a learning mechanism, and to construct certain networks.Comment: 16 page

Is external control important for internal control?

In cybernetics, the basic assumption is that systems aim for control.But what and how are they controlling? I dierentiate two categories ofcontrol: internal and external control. In external control, one starts fromoutside, and tries to determine the environment completely. While withinternal control, one's own aspirations are taken as a starting point, anduseful synergies with the environment are sought. I'll dene these con-cepts in cybernetic terms, and argue why they are not necessary related.There are two aspects in this dierence. The rst lies in the locality: isthere an aim for global control, or only for control in the immediate envi-ronment? There is also a dierence in what one tries to change. An agentcould adapt its links, or try to change either the methods or the goals ofits neighbors.Several of these cases will be further explored by giving an existing modelthat falls under this circumstances. All of these models will be put intoan overarching framework. The model of controllability is a model aboutglobal control, while the others model local control, based on neural net-works or perceptual control theory

Pindmine tromboflebiit – kas ainult healoomuline haigus?

Pindmine veenitromboos (PVT) ei ole alati healoomuline haigus. Selle suhteliselt tavalise haiguse paremaks tundmiseks oleksid vajalikud adekvaatsed epidemioloogilised uuringud, et hinnata PVT esinemissagedust, riskitegureid, põhjuseks olevaid haigusseisundeid ja tüsistusi. Kindlasti oleks vaja ka ulatuslikke kliinilisi uuringuid, et võrrelda erinevate meditsiiniliste ravivõtete tõhusust ja ohutust. Iga üksiku PVT-patsiendi ravitulemus ja elukvaliteet saab tõenduspõhisele meditsiinile tuginemisest ainult paraneda. Eesti Arst 2009; 88(7−8):503−50

Penggunaan Chat GPT dalam Pembelajaran dan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Siswa SMK Negeri 1 Tengaran Kabupaten Semarang

This research aims to evaluate the effect of using Chat GPT on students' critical thinking skills in informatics learning. GPT chat, an artificial intelligence-based language model developed by OpenAI, has been used as a learning aid to explain complex concepts, provide feedback, and help complete informatics tasks. This research method uses a correlational design with a quantitative approach. The results of the research show that there is a difference or influence between students who use Chat GPT and those who do not, but the difference is not very significant on students' critical thinking abilities. This improvement is measured using standard critical thinking tests which include aspects of analysis, evaluation and inference. Data analysis shows that interactions with Chat GPT help students understand course material better, ask deeper questions, and develop stronger arguments. These findings indicate that ChatGPT not only functions as a learning aid but also as a catalyst for the development of critical thinking skills. The use of this technology can improve the quality of informatics learning and prepare students to face challenges in an increasingly digitally connected world. This research recommends the integration of GPT Chat in informatics learning to support and improve students' critical thinking abilities.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh penggunaan Chat GPT terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa dalam pembelajaran informatika.
