Abstract

In the present day, Traditional database management methods are becoming more inadequate for effective data processing as the volume of data created by systems grows. Machine learning approaches have shown promise in optimizing database queries and enhancing database administration functions such as query optimization, workload management, indexing, and data quality assurance to solve this problem. We investigate the different machine learning algorithms used for query optimization and database management in this comprehensive literature review. Our review shows that machine learning approaches such as Deep Learning (DL), Reinforcement learning (RL), supervised learning, natural language processing (NLP), and unsupervised learning, among others, may be employed for query analysis, execution, and assessment. It is feasible to increase query performance and react to changing conditions by introducing machine learning techniques into database management systems.

Abstract

Mathematics is an important science that shapes the future as it did in the past. The mathematical knowledge, which helps explain other sciences, needs to be transferred and adopted to the next generation with this awareness. However, nowadays, mathematics is increasingly presented as a subject that should be avoided and is famous for its failures. The feeling of insensitivity towards mathematics brought about by mathematical anxiety and fear is now one of the important issues that needs to be solved on its own. For this purpose, in addition to increasing students' interest and sensitivity towards mathematics, teachers and parents must support this motivation in a necessary and sufficient way. In this study, it is discussed what the insensitivity and anxiety that develops towards mathematics are and under what conditions they are triggered. In addition, solution suggestions for eliminating mathematical insensitivity were presented in line with the opinions of students, teachers and parents, with whom semi-structured interviews were conducted in accordance with the purpose and scope of the study. The data of the study was analyzed by content analysis and the results were added to the solution suggestions headings in the study.

Abstract

The increasing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) models, such as Large Language Models (LLMs), poses a unique challenge regarding environmental sustainability. Current LLMs prioritize performance and versatility, often neglecting the ecological impact of the solutions they generate. This paper presents a novel approach to fine-tuning LLMs to embed environmental considerations in their responses. By adjusting their training datasets and models, we enhance the likelihood of producing environmentally friendly outcomes. We observed that responses factoring in sustainability increased from 5% to over 75% post-optimization. This paper discusses our methodology, the challenges faced, and the implications for AI’s role in supporting global sustainability goals
