Generating realistic human sensor data using Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks

Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (CGAN) are shown to be useful for generating images. However, the use of CGANs for human sensor data, is not investigated. It is expensive to gather labeled data and it is privacy-sensitive to use this data, therefore it is very desirable to be able to generate realistic looking data in order to replace the collected data by the generated data, to avoid these privacy issues. The data is needed to be able to train a model to determine what activity someone is performing at that moment. This Activity Classifier could be implemented in a simulation environment like in [1]. It has been shown that Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) can be created to generate realistic human sensor data in paper [1]. In this paper a CGAN is developed, which can generate various types of sensor data that is related to activities someone is performing. To determine the performance of the generated data, an Activity Classifier is created. However, the generated data is not reliable to use, because the data is visually significantly different than the actual sensor data and the activity classifier is only able to classify the correct label to three of the six activities. Some methods and advice will be given on how a CGAN, that generates realistic human sensor data for di↵erent conditions can be developed.
Reef Fish Community Structure in Penyusuk Waters, Bangka Regency, Indonesia (Case Study of Artificial Reef in PT. Artha Cipta Langgeng)

Reef fishes are important components of a healthy coral ecosystem. However, when coral reefs are degraded, reef fishes also lose their habitat resulting in a decline in reef fish production and sustainable livelihood for the communities depending on it. In this study, we determined the status of reef fish communities in an artificial reef at PT Artha Cipta Langgeng in the Penyusuk waters of Bangka Regency, Indonesia. Data on reef fish communities were collected using the underwater visual census (UVC) method, including in situ and ex-situ environmental parameters. A total of 2,987 individuals belonging to 12 reef fish species and five families were recorded across three stations. The abundance of reef fish ranges from 45 to 60 ind/m², categorized as highly abundant. Diversity, evenness, and dominance indices were calculated at 1.18-1.49, 0.56-0.65, and 0.26 -0.36, respectively which are categorized as low to moderate. The environmental parameters in the artificial reef are still within the standard limit for a reef ecosystem. The study emphasizes the importance of artificial reefs as an alternative to a degraded coral reef ecosystem in supporting the thriving existence of reef fishes in the Penyusuk waters.
Comparison of different digital shade selection methodologies in terms of accuracy

PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of different shade selection techniques and determine the matching success of crown restorations fabricated using digital shade selection techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Teeth numbers 11 and 21 were prepared on a typodont model. For the #11 tooth, six different crowns were fabricated with randomly selected colors and set as the target crowns. The following four test groups were established: Group C, where the visual shade selection was performed using the Vita 3D Master Shade Guide and the group served as the control; Group Ph, where the shade selection was performed under the guidance of dental photography; Group S, where the shade selection was performed by measuring the target tooth color using a spectrophotometer; and Group I, where the shade selection was performed by scanning the test specimens and target crowns using an intraoral scanner. Based on the test groups, 24 crowns were fabricated using different shade selection techniques. The ΔE values were calculated according to the CIEDE2000 (2:1:1) formula. The collected data were analyzed by means of a one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS For the four test groups (Groups C, Ph, S, and I), the following mean ΔE values were obtained: 2.74, 3.62, 2.13, and 3.5, respectively. No significant differences were found among the test groups. CONCLUSION Although there was no statistically significant difference among the shade selection techniques, Group S had relatively lower ΔE values. Moreover, according to the test results, the spectrophotometer shade selection technique may provide more successful clinical results.
Putin’s Olympics. The Sochi games and the evolution of twenty-first century Russia

individual celebrity program hosts to depart significantly from the Kremlin's official position at moments of heightened national conflict. Chapter 4, for example, documents significant differences across channels in coverage of nationality issues in 2010-2011, often in ways that foreshadowed the hardening of the Kremlin's own line on migration in 2012. Hutchings and Tolz trace these multiple, often contradictory or incomplete attempts by Russian television producers to reflect ethnic relationships and conflict across several genres that are not often brought together in studies of Russian mass media: news coverage analyzed quantitatively, but also comedy series, talk shows, and the coverage of several specific "media events" including the new (as of 2005) "National Day of Unity" holiday and the broadcast of "Shkola" ["School"] a controversial dramatic serial that itself stirred up significant cultural conflict over its representation of ethnic and religious hostility in a Russian school. Scholars interested in the literature on "media events" will appreciate the skill with which the authors document the crucial role of television in creating "media events" out of a variety of happenings generated by artists, television producers, the state, and nationalist activists, among others. At the same time, a second theme that runs throughout the book the diverse and contradictory ways in which television generates new and frequently contradictory modes of balancing unity and diversity will interest scholars and students of multiethnicity, nationality, and migration. Throughout the book the authors are careful to attend to similarities and differences in the response to migration in other European countries in the same period, pointing out the many shared dilemmas while not neglecting Russia's distinctive position. Indeed, they highlight how, when it suits their purposes, Russian commentators often construct Russian ethnic relations as a positive counterexample to Western Europe's ethnic and confessional conflict. This masterful and revealing study shows us how state-aligned, but never entirely controlled, media navigate between state and public in the context of a hybrid democraticauthoritarian regime. It strikes a fascinating balance between documenting the shift on Russian television toward a more anti-migrant and Russian nationalist position, and pointing out the myriad ways that Russian television's many genres, as well as local broadcasting services in ethnically diverse regions, often create new ways of envisioning an ethnically diverse and harmonious Russia. This book has broad value beyond the specific case of Russia for understanding how television can shape public responses to social issues that affect many countries, both generating and foreclosing other possible worlds.
Exploration history and petroleum systems of the onshore Baram Delta, northern Sarawak, Malaysia

The onshore portion of Baram Delta petroleum province in northern Sarawak is largely covered by the Block SK333 exploration permit, most recently operated by JX Nippon. It contains a complete sedimentary succession ranging in age from Mid Eocene to Holocene. A sequence-stratigraphic investigation of the area, based on 2009 2D seismic, integrated with recent biostratigraphic analyses conducted in 2010-2011, suggests that the sedimentary section has been affected by three major episodes of deformation which are: (1) Late Cretaceous to Eocene (79.5-36Ma) block faulting, (2) Late Oligocene to Mid Miocene (30-20.5Ma) wrench movement and related folding, followed by (3) Mid Pliocene to Holocene (4.0-0Ma) uplift and compressional folding. These tectonic episodes have resulted in a subdivision of the Block SK333 area into two major anticlinal trends: the Engkabang-Karap Anticline in the south, and separated by the large Badas Syncline, the northern Miri-Asam Paya Anticline.This configuration resulted in two distinct petroleum systems and respective hydrocarbon zones: (i) A southern overmature gas system sourced probably from deeply buried and carbonaceous Eo-Oligocene basinal shales containing reworked terrestrial organic matter, which charged wrench induced traps such as at the Engkabang-Karap Anticline that were later overprinted by compressional folding. The surface expression of this petroleum system is manifested by an active mud volcano on the western Engkabang-Karap Anticline axis, which emits thermogenic C1 gas. Burial history modelling indicates that an earlier oil charge probably occurred during deep Oligocene burial, preceding basin reversal during the Pliocene-Holocene inversion episode, with the wrench-induced anticlinal closure which subsequently has been charged by late gas. (ii) A block-wide oil and gas system sourced from peak mature Mid-Late Miocene carbonaceous shales and coals in the synclines, charging inversion and compressional fold structures along the northern Miri-Asam Paya anticlinal trend, and also the Miocene section at the Engkabang-Karap Anticline. Expulsion and charge to traps commenced during the Late Miocene and is continuing to the present-day. Although the exploration results of the southern Eo-Oligocene carbonate play have been disappointing to date, the onshore Baram Delta still contains a number of attractive, both untested and partially tested plays that are yet to be fully explored. Lowstand delta and turbidite plays, a highstand delta shoreface play in the Miri-Asam Paya anticlinal area and a moundform stratigraphic play in the southern limb of the Badas Syncline are among the untested play identified in the study area.
University of Birmingham Assessing the potential of drone-based thermal infrared imagery for quantifying river temperature heterogeneity

Climate change is altering river temperature regimes, modifying the dynamics of temperature-sensitive fishes. The ability to map river temperature is therefore important for understanding the impacts of future warming. Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing has proven effective for river temperature mapping, but TIR surveys of rivers remain expensive. Recent drone-based TIR systems present a potential solution to this problem. However, information regarding the utility of these miniaturised systems for surveying rivers is limited. Here, we present the results of several drone-based TIR surveys conducted with a view to understanding their suitability for characterising river temperature heterogeneity. We find that drone-based TIR data is able to clearly reveal the location and extent of discrete thermal inputs to rivers, but thermal imagery suffers from temperature drift-induced bias which prevents the extraction of accurate temperature data. Statistical analysis of the causes of this drift reveals that drone flight characteristics and environmental conditions at the time of acquisition explain ~66% of the variance in TIR sensor drift. These results shed important light on the factors influencing drone-based TIR data quality, and suggest that further technological development is required to enable the extraction of robust river temperature data. Nonetheless, this technology represents a promising approach for augmenting in-situ sensor capabilities and improved quantification of advective inputs to rivers at intermediate spatial scales between point measurements and ‘conventional’ airborne or satellite remote sensing.
Social Demographics and Effective Management of Suicidal Thoughts among Adolescent Learners in Malawi: A Quasi Experimental Study, Southern Malawi

The high percentage of psycho-social challenges like suicidal thoughts among adolescents is a global health threat. The main purpose of this study was to explore an effective way of managing suicidal thoughts among adolescents in Zomba, Malawi. A non-equivalent group quasi-experimental study design guided the study. 317 adolescent learners from two secondary schools were targeted, and a quantitative method was utilized. The study observed psycho-social service deficiencies within the secondary schools. The prevalence of suicidal thoughts was 26%. The intervention at the study site was able to reduce the prevalence of suicidal thoughts by 1.7% [26% (before intervention) to 24% (after intervention)]. Control Site: the prevalence increased by 6% [8% (before intervention) to 14% (after intervention)]. The study observed suicidal thoughts are prevalent among adolescent learners, and there are psycho-social service gaps. The study findings will help relevant stakeholders to be aware of the suicidal thoughts that adolescent learners are experiencing in secondary schools and how to manage them.
Aspects regarding Burnout syndrome in healthcare workers with secondary education in the Republic of Moldova, during the pandemic period

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic has created favorable conditions for the onset and exacerbation of burnout syndrome. The aim of the research was to assess the degree of impact of burnout syndrome on mid-level medical staff during the pandemic period, as well as its determinants. Material and methods. The research was based on a selective descriptive, quantitative study conducted from November 2022 to March 2023. The quantitative component involved surveying a sample of 463 nurses and midwives involved in providing medical care to COVID-19 positive patients. Results. The results indicate that burnout syndrome during the pandemic period affected 100% of mid-level medical personnel who provided medical care to COVID-19 patients. The most pronounced dimension of burnout syndrome was psycho-emotional exhaustion, at 29.2%. Younger age and shorter work experience were more affected among mid-level medical personnel. Medical staff in republican, departmental, and municipal medical institutions were more affected than those in district institutions. Conclusions. Burnout syndrome was detected in all medical workers involved in healthcare delivery, predominantly manifesting itself through psycho-emotional exhaustion, with varying degrees of intensity among different categories of medical personnel.
Radiometric survey on the exposure to and management of radioactive waste produced by patients on I131 treatment

The objective of this study is to perform a radiometric survey on the exposure of Occupationally Exposed Individuals (OEI) to radioactive waste and to evaluate the management of radioactive waste produced by patients treated with Iodine-131 (I131) in a hospital in São Luís, MA, Brazil. For this purpose, radiometric levels were measured using radiation measuring devices placed at strategic points in the hospital bed and the areas surrounding the tailings deposit. For four months, a team of professionals using equations of exposure rate, activity, and equivalent dose analyzed the waste disposal management and the exposure received by the OEI. It was concluded that the discarded waste had a level lower than 2 μCi/kg, thus complying with CNEN 6.05 standard. Patients who were administered I131 with 100 and 150 mCi activity needed to be hospitalized for only 24 hours, while those with 200 mCi activity required 36 to 48 hours of hospitalization. The exposure rate emitted by the wastes in the iodine rooms was 1.95 mR/h and in the area near the tailings deposit, the OEI received an equivalent dose of 0.01 mSv per week values below the maximum limit allowed by CNEN 3.01/2014.
Observed Storm Track Dynamics in Drake Passage

The dynamics of an oceanic storm track—where energy and enstrophy transfer between the mean flow and eddies—are investigated using observations from an eddy-rich region of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current downstream of the Shackleton Fracture Zone (SFZ) in Drake Passage. Four years of measurements by an array of current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders deployed between November 2007 and November 2011 are used to diagnose eddy–mean flow interactions and provide insight into physical mechanisms for these transfers. Averaged within the upper to mid-water column (400–1000-m depth) and over the 4-yr-record mean field, eddy potential energy is highest in the western part of the storm track and maximum eddy kinetic energy occurs farther away from the SFZ, shifting the proportion of eddy energies from to about 1 along the storm track. There are enhanced mean 3D wave activity fluxes immediately downstream of SFZ with strong horizontal flux vectors emanating northeast from this region. Similar patterns across composites of Polar Front and Subantarctic Front meander intrusions suggest the dynamics are set more so by the presence of the SFZ than by the eddy’s sign. A case study showing the evolution of a single eddy event, from 15 to 23 July 2010, highlights the storm-track dynamics in a series of snapshots. Consistently, explaining the eddy energetics pattern requires both horizontal and vertical components of W, implying the importance of barotropic and baroclinic processes and instabilities in controlling storm-track dynamics in Drake Passage.
Explosives Research for Lunar Applications: A Review

Experimental explosives research for lunar operations is reviewed. Each research project had a different objective and together their findings showed that using explosives on the moon is possible and the effects can be predicted. The fact that this research exists is important in itself because it provides an experimental base from which models for the effects and behavior of explosives on the moon can be derived.
Culture and identification of Borrelia spirochetes in human vaginal and seminal secretions [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 not approved]

Background: Recent reports indicate that more than 300,000 cases of Lyme disease are diagnosed yearly in the USA. Preliminary clinical, epidemiological and immunological studies suggest that infection with the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) could be transferred from person to person via intimate human contact without a tick vector. Detecting viable Borrelia spirochetes in vaginal and seminal secretions would provide evidence to support this hypothesis. Methods: Patients with and without a history of Lyme disease were selected for the study after informed consent was obtained. Serological testing for Bb was performed on all subjects. Semen or vaginal secretions were inoculated into BSK-H medium and cultured for four weeks. Examination of genital cultures and culture concentrates for the presence of spirochetes was performed using light and darkfield microscopy, and spirochete concentrates were subjected to Dieterle silver staining, anti-Bb immunohistochemical
ANTECEDENTS OF PRIVACY PROTECTION BEHAVIORS AT THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL LEVELS

Internet users face privacy threats when using online services. Privacy protection behaviors, such as adjusting privacy settings, can alleviate some of these threats. Research shows that individuals’ privacy protection behaviors (PPBs) depend on their socio-demographics characteristics, digital engagement, privacy concerns, and online privacy literacy (OPL). In addition, it has been suggested that due to the complexity of privacy issues online, an adequate level of OPL is required to translate privacy concerns into protective actions. Although previous research examined the antecedents of PPBs at a general level, it has rarely made a clear distinction and comparison between PPBs aimed toward the practices of institutions (vertical level) and those aimed toward other internet users (horizontal level). This is somewhat surprising given that many scholars underscored the importance of context in online privacy-related matters. Therefore, this study compared the antecedents of PPBs at the general, vertical, and horizontal levels. To this end, we tested three models to examine how socio-demographic characteristics, digital engagement, privacy concerns, and OPL influence PPBs at the general, vertical, and horizontal levels, and assessed whether OPL moderates the relationship between privacy concerns and PPBs at different levels. The models were tested using linear regression on a nation-wide sample of 1,015 internet users aged 18+ from Slovenia. The analysis revealed important differences between the levels in case of gender, age, and privacy concerns, but not OPL.
AQUAPONICS: THE INTEGRATION OF FISH AND VEGETABLE CULTURE IN RECIRCULATING SYSTEMS

A commercial-scale, aquaponic system for the intensive production of tilapia and hydroponic vegetables has been developed at the Virgin Islands Agricultural Experiment Station. The system is well suited for Caribbean islands and other tropical regions where fresh water is scarce or level farm land is limited. It consists of a fish rearing tank, a clarifier, two hydroponic tanks and a reservoir, and is reliable, productive and easy to operate. Water continuously circulates between the fish and hydroponic components. The fish grow rapidly on a pelleted diet that is high in protein. Waste from the fish provides most of the nutrients required by vegetables. The vegetables recover these nutrients as a valuable by-product and purify the water. The presence of both fish and plants creates a very stable growing environment, while high nutrient levels and unlimited water promote rapid vegetable growth. This system is economical because nutrient costs are reduced, the need for expensive filtration devices is eliminated, component operating and infrastructural costs are shared, land requirements are small, water is conserved, and environmental impacts are minimized.
Correlation Between C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Level and Chemotherapy Response in Colorectal Cancer Patients Based on Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Levels in Post Definitive Operative and Adjuvant Chemotherapy Three Series at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah Denpasar Hospital

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Surgical therapy is the primary modality for early-stage cancer with curative goals; chemotherapy is the direct option in advanced cancer with palliative goals; radiotherapy is one of the primary therapy modalities for rectal cancer. The markers for chemotherapy response include CRP and CEA. Elevated CRP and CEA levels in CRC patients are associated with poor chemotherapy response. Objective: to determine the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and chemotherapy response measured by Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) levels in colorectal cancer patients at Prof. Dr. IGNG Ngoerah Hospital. Method: analytic observational study with a retrospective cohort study design. The sample in this study used the total consecutive sampling method. The analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS, including descriptive statistical tests, chi-square tests, and correlation tests with Spearman-Rho. Results: 58 patients were divided into 2 groups of 29 each for the group with high CRP levels (≥5 mg/dl) and low CRP levels (<5 mg/dl). The male subjects with the most age <60 years and stage III. Most duration of illness < 2 years. The relationship between CRP levels and chemotherapy response was based on CEA, RR 3.2 [95% CI 1.1-9.6; p 0.030], and the value of the positive correlation coefficient with strong strength is r = 0.722. Conclusion: high CRP levels are significantly associated with a strong correlation to worse chemotherapy response in colorectal cancer patients characterized by a high risk of increasing CEA levels 3.7 times after three series of FOLFIRI adjuvant chemotherapy.
