Large language models (LLMs) are trained on massive, publicly available text datasets comprising trillions of tokens, enabling them to excel at general language tasks like next-token prediction. However, LLMs often struggle with domain-specific prompts, exhibiting reduced accuracy or generating inaccurate information (hallucinations). This is because they lack sufficient subject matter expertise. Two primary approaches exist to address this limitation for augmenting LLMs knowledge: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning. This presentation focuses on fine-tuning smaller LLMs with domain-specific instruct datasets using the LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) technique on Gaudi hardware. We will leverage publicly available LLMs and datasets from the Hugging Face Hub for this demonstration. Though it is possible to fine tune LLMs with plain text data - sourced from documents, articles, and other materials.

El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la importancia de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en el proceso de formación académica de estudiantes de educación básica, específicamente en la enseñanza de ciencias naturales. La investigación destaca cómo la IA puede personalizar el aprendizaje, adaptándose a los estilos individuales de cada alumno, lo que resulta en una experiencia educativa más efectiva y significativa. Se utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental con una muestra de 60 estudiantes de sexto año, distribuidos en un grupo control (30 estudiantes) que recibió instrucción tradicional y un grupo experimental (30 estudiantes) que utilizó herramientas de IA, como chatbots educativos y plataformas de aprendizaje adaptativo. Los resultados mostraron que el 70% de los estudiantes del grupo experimental alcanzaron calificaciones superiores a 8, en comparación con solo el 30% del grupo control. Este hallazgo sugiere que la implementación de herramientas de IA puede transformar la educación básica, mejorando tanto el rendimiento académico como la motivación de los estudiantes. En conclusión, el estudio resalta la necesidad de seguir investigando y desarrollando nuevas estrategias educativas que integren la IA para maximizar su potencial en la educación.

Raw experimental dataset accompanying the paper "Calibration-Conditioned FiLM Decoders for Low-Latency Decoding of Quantum Error Correction Evaluated on IBM Repetition-Code Experiments." This dataset contains repetition-code experiments executed on three IBM Quantum processors -- ibm_kingston, ibm_pittsburgh, and ibm_fez. It comprises 352 hardware snapshots spanning code distances d = 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, syndrome-round counts r = 1 to 11, and both the X and Z logical bases. Each snapshot runs several repetition-code chains in parallel and carries the device calibration data captured at execution time, totalling several million measurement shots. All data is provided raw, exactly as returned by the hardware -- no machine-learning processing or sparsification is applied -- and is anonymized (no IBM Runtime job identifiers are released). CONTENTS - ibm_kingston.tar.gz, ibm_pittsburgh.tar.gz, ibm_fez.tar.gz per-device archives, each unpacking to <device>/d<D>_r<R>/job_<n>/ - index.csv one row per snapshot: path, backend, d, rounds, basis, logical_states, n_chains, shots - README.md full description of the layout and field definitions Each job_<n>/ directory contains: - info.json experiment parameters (device, d, rounds, basis, states, shots, n_chains) - calibration.json the device calibration snapshot at execution time (T1, T2, gate and readout error rates, coupling map) - circuit_state0.qasm, circuit_state1.qasm transpiled circuits as executed - bitstrings.json raw per-shot measurement records for every parallel chain USAGE Because each snapshot stores its own calibration data, the per-device and per-(d, r, basis) structure used in the paper is recoverable by filtering index.csv. The same calibration is consumed by both the FiLM decoder (via its calibration-graph encoder) and the modified MWPM baseline (via its detector-graph edge weights).

Analysis code and processed data for the manuscript: "Multiple myeloma and therapy reshape the bone marrow niche to durably constrain immune reconstitution and vaccine responsiveness." This repository accompanies a longitudinal multi-omic study of immune dysfunction in multiple myeloma (MM). Matched bone marrow and peripheral blood from MM patients were profiled across diagnosis, induction, autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), and recovery, together with matched healthy donors and vaccine response subcohorts. The analyses show that the tumor imposes a compartment specific immune program; marrow-restricted metabolic, inflammatory, and cytotoxic-effector changes not mirrored in blood; and, that adaptive immune reconstitution remains impaired up to two years post-ASCT. Half of patients failed to mount IgG responses to a high dose nonadjuvanted influenza vaccine, a defect overcome by the LNP adjuvanted COVID mRNA vaccine. Contents: Single cell RNA-seq (BMMC and PBMC), flow cytometry, Olink proteomics, and MSD cytokine analysis pipelines, plus the notebooks generating all manuscript figures. Processed/derived data needed to reproduce the figures are included; raw sequencing data are deposited in GEO.

This is the report on the indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) dialogue workshop for the first order draft of the summary for policymakers and the second order draft of the IPBES assessment of the sustainable use of wild species (the "sustainable use assessment"). It was held from 17-21 May 2021, online, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The report aims to provide a written record of the dialogue workshop, which can be used by assessment authors to inform their work on the sustainable use assessment, and also by all dialogue participants who may wish to review and contribute to the work of the assessment moving forward. The report is not intended to be comprehensive or give final resolution to the many interesting discussions and debates that took place during the workshop. Instead, it is intended as a written record of the discussions, and this conversation will continue to evolve in the course of the assessment process. For this reason, clear points of agreement are discussed, but diverging views among participants are also presented for further attention and discussion.

The study investigated the determinants of the migration of youth in Benue State from agricultural activities using a multi stage survey research design. The population of the study comprised 90 households in the three zones in Benue state selected by simple random sampling. A sampling proportion of 5% was used and a sample size of 270 was drawn. The instrument for data collection was a self-developed questionnaire. Data collected was analysed using frequencies distribution, mean, standard deviation and probit regression to achieve the research objectives while chi square goodness of fit was used to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that 69.0% of the youth involved in agricultural activities in the study area were within the ages of 26- 30 years old while few (7.7%) are of 31years and above. The findings of the study revealed that land tenure practices have high influence on agricultural land developmental activities of youth in the study area. The study found that there is a plethora of factors responsible for seasonal migration of youth in the study area and these includes; Lack of access to modern farming equipment and technology; limited economic opportunities in the agricultural sector. The study concludes that youth migration affects agricultural activities in the study area. The study therefore recommended among others, skills diversification programme that will equip youth in diverse skills beyond seasonal agricultural works that could be utilised all year round. Year round employment opportunities that would provide consistent employment for the youth, education and training initiatives that would focus on agricultural techniques and sustainable practices, access to financial resources and collaboration and networking between local governments, NGOS, and the private sectors.

This study mainly aimed to examine the adoption of e-procurement and its impact on public sector efficiency in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in Southeastern Nigeria. The study adopted a mixed-method research design, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected from procurement officers, ICT personnel, administrative heads, and senior staff of MDAs across the five Southeastern Nigerian States (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo), 60 persons out of the 80 targeted responded to questionnaires. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools employed were multiple regression, while qualitative data were thematically analysed to enrich the findings. Multiple Linear regression Analysis was used the relationship between the efficiency of procurement and its different methods on the public sector of MDAs in South-East region of Nigeria. The findings of the results revealed that E-payment, E-request, E-Tendering had a positive relationship with the efficiency of procurement whereas E-bidding has negative relationship with the efficiency of procurement. Also, the results revealed that E-payment and E-Tendering had a significant impact on the procurement at 5% level of significance (p-values of 0.0000 and 0.0001, respectively) whereas E-request, E-tendering and E-bidding does not influence the efficiency of procurement. An R-squared of 82% indicates that 82% of the total variation in the efficiency of procurement method is accounted for by variations in E-payment, E-request, E-tendering and E-bidding; whereas about 18% of the variation in efficiency of procurement method could be attributed to variables not included in the study. Thus, the study recommended that increased investment in ICT infrastructure, continuous training of procurement personnel, strong political and managerial commitment, and the strengthening of regulatory frameworks to ensure the successful institutionalization of e-procurement across MDAs in Southeastern Nigeria.

rd of the world church. The continued use of Western interpretive paradigms has systematically marginalized African oral resources, proverbs, storytelling and community-based wisdom creating a missiological vacuum. This cultural dissonance creates scholarly conflict, restricts church growth and drives members to Pentecostal and African Initiated Churches that address existential concerns (witchcraft, sickness, ancestral beliefs) through their own presumed stylistic biblical interpretations. This qualitative theoretical synthesis draws on postcolonial theory of hybridities (Homi K. Bhabha), a comparative exegesis of Romans 13:1-17 and John 4:1-42, and a systematic review of the African biblical hermeneutics literature. Three dynamics of hybridity are used as analytical tools to mediate between Western and African poles of interpretation: calculated negotiation, prudent affiliation and idealized memory. The tension between the Western historical-grammatical methods and legitimate African contextual concerns is still unresolved and hermeneutical conflicts among Adventist scholars continue. Pentecostal movements address existential questions (witchcraft, sickness, ancestor mediation) with culturally resonant symbols, filling a void mainstream Adventism has left open. A hybridized hermeneutic working in Bhabha's "Third Space" reconciles Western interpretive norms with African oral traditions without compromising Adventist orthodoxy. Indeed, the dynamics of hybridity which African Adventist hermeneutics calls for are exemplified precisely in Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman (John 4) and Paul's strategy in Romans 13. This study offers a constructive and biblical faithful framework for African Adventist hermeneutics. This hybrid approach to reclaiming indigenous interpretive heritage, while critical of global Adventist norms, minimizes interpretive discord, challenges manipulative practices, and promotes authentic church growth in Africa. "Christ's method alone will bring true success in reaching the people," said Ellen G. White (1905, p. 143).

This study examined the influence of self-efficacy and family dynamics on cyberbullying among students of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Employing a descriptive survey design, data were collected from a sample of 334 students, with 298 valid responses comprising 213 (71.5%) males and 85 (28.5%) females. The age distribution included 17–22 years (45.6%), 23–30 years (36.6%), and 31 years and above (17.8%), while marital status showed 219 (73.5%) single and 79 (26.5%) married. Educational status indicated 185 (62.1%) HND students and 113 (37.9%) ND students, with family types including nuclear (70.8%), extended (23.2%), and single-parent (6.0%). Participants were drawn using simple random sampling from the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa. The instruments used included the Questionnaire of Systemic Family Dynamics (SSFD), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and Revised Cyberbullying Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ), all demonstrating acceptable reliability coefficients. Three hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis at a 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed that family dynamics subscale collectively predicted cyberbullying (R = .532, R² = .210, F(4, 294) = 15.930, p < .001), though individual subscales were not significant. Self-efficacy also significantly influenced cyberbullying (R = .369, R² = .136, F(3, 322) = 16.882, p < .001), with cohesion as the key predictor (β = .246, t = 2.742, p = .023). Jointly, self-efficacy and family dynamics accounted for 49% of the variance in cyberbullying (R = .332, R² = .490, F(2, 296) = 10.930, p < .001), but independently, neither was significant. Based on these findings, it is recommended that school management, in collaboration with psychologists, should provide accessible counseling services that address dysfunctional family dynamics, offering tools for conflict resolution and emotional support to prevent escalation into cyber aggression.
