In the era of big data, the growth of e-commerce transactions brings forth both opportunities and risks, including the threat of data theft and fraud. To address these challenges, an automated real-time fraud detection system leveraging machine learning was developed. Four algorithms (Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, XGBoost, and Neural Network) underwent comparison using a dataset from a clothing website that encompassed both legitimate and fraudulent transactions. The dataset exhibited an imbalance, with 9.3% representing fraud and 90.07% legitimate transactions. Performance evaluation metrics, including Recall, Precision, F1 Score, and AUC ROC, were employed to assess the effectiveness of each algorithm. XGBoost emerged as the top-performing model, achieving an impressive accuracy score of 95.85%. The proposed system proves to be a robust defense mechanism against fraudulent activities in e-commerce, thereby enhancing security and instilling trust in online transactions.

To test the effectiveness of the preparatory audiovisual information with videotape, 34 patients with gastric cancer and who have scheduled for subtotal gastrectomy were studied with quasiexperimental research design. The subjects were selected from the 4 general surgical wards of one university hospital in Seoul, and assigned to experimental and control group conveniently. The videotaped information on the preparation and recovery for surgery was showed to the experimental subjects once before having operation. Data on the sleep and the state anxiety level before and after treatment day was collected with VSH sleep scale and STAI. The data was analyzed with t-test to test the effect of preparatory information and the Pearson's correlation to identify the correlation between anxiety and sleep. The results were summerized as follows : 1. After receiving the preparatory information, the level of anxiety of the experimental group was the same level as the initial, whereas that of the control group showed markedly increase. However no significant difference in anxiety between the two groups was found. 2. There was significant difference in sleep score between the experimental and the control group. 3. There was significant negative correlation between the state anxiety score and the sleep score. Based upon the above findings, this study concludes that preparatory information is effective to enhance sleep just prior to the surgery.

Background: In view of the safety and effectiveness of butorphanol as a postoperative analgesic, we designed to compare its activity and side effects with those of ketoprofen, when administered intramuscularly. Methods: Ninety four patients, scheduled for elective total abdominal hysterectomy, received either ketoprofen 100 mg (ketoprofen group) or butorphanol 2 mg (butorphanol group) intramuscularly after surgery. For the first six hours after injection of butorphanol or ketoprofen, the patients were asked to reevaluate the intensity of pain, using numeric rating scale (NRS) and pain score. If the pain score was above 2, supplemental ketoprofen was administered IM. Incidence of side effects were also checked. Results: Butorphanol group showed lower NRS and pain score for the first four hours compared to ketoprofen group, but the incidence of drowsiness was higher in butorphanol group. There were no significant difference in the incidence of other side effects such as nausea and dizziness. In both group, there were neither respiratory depression nor pruritus. Conclusions: Butorphanol gave better relief of postoperative pain compared to ketoprofen. Butorphanol might be a useful drug for postoperative analgesia after hysterectomy with minor side effects.
