General Background: Viral hepatitis is a prevalent disease worldwide, with hepatitis B and C posing significant public health challenges. While most cases resolve naturally, chronic infections contribute to severe complications. Specific Background: Genetic predisposition, including blood type, has been hypothesized as a risk factor for viral hepatitis; however, its role remains unclear. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies have analyzed the association between ABO blood groups and susceptibility to hepatitis B and C using machine learning techniques. Aims: This study aims to determine the blood groups most susceptible to hepatitis B and C by applying advanced machine learning models. Results: Using a dataset of 500 patients and CRISP-DM methodology, the findings indicate that blood type B has the highest susceptibility (38% infection rate), while type O shows the lowest risk (15%). Statistical analysis (Chi-square, p < 0.01) confirms a significant correlation between blood group B and hepatitis infection. The XG-Boost model achieved the highest predictive accuracy (91%), identifying blood type B as the second most influential risk factor after age. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence linking genetic factors, particularly blood type B, with hepatitis susceptibility using data-driven approaches. Implications: The findings highlight the importance of blood type screening in high-risk populations and the necessity of targeted prevention strategies. Highlights: Blood type may influence susceptibility to hepatitis B and C. Blood type B shows highest risk; XG-Boost model achieves 91% accuracy. Blood type screening aids early detection and targeted prevention strategies.

Synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO2) Thin film on three microscope glasses using sol-gel method has been studied intensively. The starting materials were titanium(III)chloride, Ammonium Hydroxide. The components were mixed together to form the sol. Then, at 50℃ heating and ageing was applied to form stable sol-gel . Every glass substrate dipping in sol-gel beaker for period time (1,3,5)min respectively, for obtaining different thickness films. To evaluate the performance of films, After annealing at 500℃ , the crystallinity of the films was determined by using the x-ray diffractometer (XRD). The change on the surface morphology was observed using Atomic Force Microscope(AFM). Finally, Optical properties measurements Absorbance (A) and transmittance(T)) for (TiO2) films were studied by UV-Visible spectrometer. analysis on the films. It has been successfully shown that the anatase crystalline phase was observed when the TiO2 thin film was annealing at 500°C. The roughness and the crystalline size of TiO2 thin film changed with the thickness. The minimum grain size( 6.92) nm for thickness 1.2µm UV-visible studying that absorption is maximum at UV spectrum (opaque) and the transmittance is maximum at the visible spectrum

We study the unitary Cayley graph associated to an arbitrary finite ring, determining precisely its diameter, girth, eigenvalues, vertex and edge connectivity, and vertex and edge chromatic number. We also compute its automorphism group, settling a question of Klotz and Sander. In addition, we classify all planar graphs and perfect graphs within this class.

Christian institutions of higher education should embrace, without embarrassment or apology, their partisan perspective. This view diverges sharply from the post‐Enlightenment, or liberal, understanding of education, which discredits dependence on tradition or authority and embraces instead the ideal of “objectivity.” This paper describes the post‐Enlightenment view, then exposes shortcomings ‐‐ its “objective” ideal is in fact impossible, its individualism overlooks the impact of communities ‐‐ that postmodern analysis has revealed. Holding to a “soft” version of postmodernism, I argue that, even though inherited frameworks for interpreting the world nullify sheer objectivity, we remain accountable intellectually: we still need to justify, and if necessary adjust, our convictions. In this light I describe and defend three features of responsible partnership for Christian higher education. It should be countercultural; it should engage the whole person; and it should address and learn from opposing points of view.

based on specimens collected mainly in the central Pacific Ocean. The petasma of the male is illustrated for the first time. The distribution of the species is extended into the eastern Indian Ocean based on a female collected in 1964 during the International Indian Ocean Expedition. Two males of Funchalia villosa (Bouvier, 1905), also collected during the International Indian Ocean Expedition, are recorded from the eastern Indian Ocean, extending the known distribution of this species.
