Multi-person Action Recognition Based on the HARNet Network in the Park Environment

Action recognition is crucial to public security, playing an important role in pedestrian protection. Recently, numerous approaches based on deep learning models have been reported for action recognition, which mainly has problems such as poor versatility, not good robustness, low recognition effects for low resolution, and occlusion in outdoor environments. This paper addresses this issue and aims to develop an approach for multi-person action recognition in the park environment. Frame extraction operation is first used to extract images from surveillance video in real-time, then YOLOv5 is adopted to detect and segment human targets from images. Thirdly, the AlphaPose algorithm is used to estimate the keypoint heatmap of the human body according to human targets. Finally, the heatmaps are preprocessed and then fused and classified by deep learning networks to complete the multi-person action recognition. In addition, an optimization method, i.e., Heatmap-based Action Recognition Network (HARNet), for ResNet is proposed in order to overcome the difficulty of information extraction from heatmaps, where the attention mechanism is considered. The approach presented here was tested on park surveillance video with multiple different scenarios, and the corresponding results verified its performance.
Effect of fermented ginger (Zingiber officinale) on The Blood Profile of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

This study aims to determine the effect of adding fermented ginger (Zingiber officinale) in feed to the blood profile of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This study used a completely randomized design method with 4 treatments and each treatment had 4 replications. Treatment A was a control treatment (without the addition of fermented ginger), treatment B with the addition of fermented ginger 5 mL/100 g of feed, treatment C with the addition of fermented ginger 7.5 mL/100 g of feed, and treatment D with the addition of fermented ginger 10 mL/ 100 g of feed. The results of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that the addition of fermented ginger to feed had a significant effect (P<0.05) on total value of erythrocytes, haematocrit and but did not significantly affect (P>0.05) on the total value of haemoglobin, lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes. Total values of erythrocytes in each treatment were significantly different and the highest total erythrocyte value was found in treatment C (1.70×106 cells/mm3).
Countering dairy misinformation with science communication: effectively communicating dairy product benefits to non-scientific publics

Humans are bombarded daily with myriads of health-related dairy information and its impact on their health. While much of this information could be beneficial, others may be harmful, especially to the non-scientific publics, who cannot immediately verify such information. These non-scientific publics could also find it daunting to interpret and understand scientific findings on sustainable dairy benefits, thereby increasing the scourge of misinformation. While studies on the benefits of sustainable dairy production to human health have received much scholarly attention, there is a recurring challenge of dairy misinformation. Hence, communicating dairy products’ scientific benefits through research findings, facts, and counter-narratives becomes imperative. Science communication offers various methods to transmit science-related information to non-experts, thereby reducing misinformation. This study examines non-scientific publics knowledge and understanding of dairy benefits to understand aspects of dairy misinformation. Quantitative data was generated among 124 purposively selected non-scientific respondents, while five (5) professional medical practitioners (in)validated respondents’ opinions on aspects of dairy misinformation and scientific beliefs. The findings revealed a high knowledge of dairy benefits while there were aspects of misunderstanding and misinformation around dairy benefits. Moreover, respondents were uninformed about scientific findings and their benefits. This study suggests that providing counter-dairy narratives through adequate science communication, media (traditional and digital), community-level interactions, and multidisciplinary partnerships between science-based and non-science-based scholars could be a panacea to reducing dairy misinformation.
SSFN: a novel Spatial-Spectral FusionNet for hyperspectral image classification

Hyperspectral image classification is the process of identifying ground objects within hyperspectral images at the pixel level. While many CNN based methods have been successfully used in this field, they often struggle to effectively extract inter-spectral information due to the high spectral dimensions of hyperspectral images. Recently, the transformer model has been introduced to capture the interdependence between spectral data, but it may lose the ability to capture local context features. In order to address the limitations of CNN and Transformer models, we propose a novel approach that integrates the advantages of both models. Specifically, we use CNN to extract spatial information and Transformer to extract spectral information, which is then fused before being fed into the MLP framework for classification. Additionally, we introduce a sparse strategy to eliminate the impact of redundant frequency bands on the transformer’s performance. Our method fully utilizes the spatial and spectral information in hyperspectral image data and has achieved excellent performance on hyperspectral datasets. By leveraging both CNN and transformer models, we can effectively capture both spatial and spectral features, providing a powerful tool for hyperspectral image classification.
Exploiting native forces to capture chromosome conformation in mammalian cell nuclei

Mammalian interphase chromosomes fold into a multitude of loops to fit the confines of cell nuclei, and looping is tightly linked to regulated function. Chromosome conformation capture (3C) technology has significantly advanced our understanding of this structure‐to‐function relationship. However, all 3C‐based methods rely on chemical cross‐linking to stabilize spatial interactions. This step remains a “black box” as regards the biases it may introduce, and some discrepancies between microscopy and 3C studies have now been reported. To address these concerns, we developed “i3C”, a novel approach for capturing spatial interactions without a need for cross‐linking. We apply i3C to intact nuclei of living cells and exploit native forces that stabilize chromatin folding. Using different cell types and loci, computational modeling, and a methylation‐based orthogonal validation method, “TALE‐iD”, we show that native interactions resemble cross‐linked ones, but display improved signal‐to‐noise ratios and are more focal on regulatory elements and CTCF sites, while strictly abiding to topologically associating domain restrictions.
Giant acceleration of polaron transport by ultrafast laser-induced coherent phonons

Polaron formation is ubiquitous in polarized materials, but severely hampers carrier transport for which effective controlling methods are urgently needed. Here, we show that laser-controlled coherent phonon excitation enables orders of magnitude enhancement of carrier mobility via accelerating polaron transport in a prototypical material, lithium peroxide (Li2O2). The selective excitation of specific phonon modes, whose vibrational pattern directly overlap with the polaronic lattice deformation, can remarkably reduce the energy barrier for polaron hopping. The strong nonadiabatic couplings between the electronic and ionic subsystem play a key role in triggering the migration of polaron, via promoting phonon-phonon scattering in q space within sub-picoseconds. These results extend our understanding of polaron transport dynamics to the nonequilibrium regime and allow for optoelectronic devices with ultrahigh on-off ratio and ultrafast responsibility, competitive with those of state-of-the-art devices fabricated based on free electron transport.
Life support systems and aquatic communities in public aquariums

The Pangandaran Integrated Aquarium and Marine Research Institute (PIAMARI) was developed in Pangandaran, and is equipped with public aquarium facilities. The Main Aquarium is an oceanarium in the form of a box, with a volume of 1.238 million liters, and accommodates various marine biota. This paper aims to provide an overview of the life support system used and the aquatic communities in the Main Aquarium. An inventory of principal components and equipment, the composition of biota, plankton, and ectoparasites was conducted in the oceanarium. The Main Aquarium is supported by filtration using a sand filter, protein skimmer, and an ozone generator. Water quality is maintained using the filtration combined with partial water changes. There are nine species of fish, including sharks and rays, and two species of turtles that are kept in the oceanarium, where most of the collections are omnivores, with IUCN LC conservation status and the rest NT to CR. Seven plankton genera were identified in the oceanarium (H’:1.78 and E: 0.90). There was Cryptocaryon ectoparasite infestation on the gills and skin of Trachinotus blochii with open lesions. Fish collections show different behavior and consume the fresh and artificial feed. Apart from being an edu-tourism facility, the oceanarium can act as a place for living and ex-situ culture for endangered marine biota.

Using the Health Belief Model to Understand Pesticide Use Decisions

The Health Belief Model in public health and social psychology argues that persons who have had adverse health experiences are likely to adopt greater preventive behaviour. Using that model, this study builds an empirical model that links farmer’s pesticide-associated adverse health problems and risk perceptions to an environmentally sound behaviour of pesticide use. A survey of 318 farmers in the districts of Vehari and Lodhran was drawn. The results show almost all the farmers to be using pesticides extensively. Consequently, more than 80 percent farmers experienced at least one adverse health symptom. The econometric analysis appeared to confirm that IPM training and education are the main determinants of an environmentally sound behaviour in terms of pesticide use. The data, however, do not support the hypothesis that farmers who have experienced health problems from pesticides are likely to use alternative pest management practices. Finally, the study concludes that provision of alternative pest management is necessary to improve pesticide use practices.

Time-dependent displacement ventilation caused by variations in internal heat gains : Application to a lecture theatre

We examine transient displacement flows in naturally ventilated spaces that are subject to an increase in internal heat gains as in, for example, an empty lecture theatre which is then occupied by an audience. Heat gains create a layer of warm air at the ceiling which initially increases in depth and temperature, and descends towards the occupied regions. A theoretical model is developed to predict the time-dependent movement of the interface that separates the warm upper and cool lower layers of air, and comparisons are made with the results of laboratory experiments. The time scale for the flow to reach a steady state is found to depend upon the height and cross-sectional area of the space, the opening areas and the strength of the heat gains. We estimate that this time scale is of the order of an hour for a typical lecture theatre. An interesting feature of these flows is that the interface descends below or 'overshoots' the steady-state interface position during the transient period, thus potentially exposing the occupants to the higher air temperatures and pollutant levels of the upper layer. We predict that the initial transient ventilation flow rates are significantly less than those established in the steady state. As a consequence, ventilation designs based upon steady-state flow conditions may fail to provide adequate ventilation if the time scale for the development of the flow is comparable with the time the space is occupied.
Thirst or dry mouth in dying patients?—A qualitative study of palliative care physicians’ experiences

Introduction Thirst and dry mouth are common symptoms among patients at the end of life. In palliative care today, there is a focus on mouth care to alleviate thirst. There are no qualitative studies on thirst from a physician’s experience, which is why this study is needed. Purpose This study aimed to explore palliative care physicians’ experiences and views of thirst in patients at the end of life. Methods A qualitative interview study with an inductive approach was carried out. Sixteen physicians working in specialised palliative care units in Sweden were included. The interviews were analysed with a reflexive thematic analysis. Results The analysis resulted in three basic assumptions regarding thirst: It is dry mouth, not thirst; patients are dry in their mouth and thirsty; and, I do not know if they are thirsty. Further, four different themes regarding how to relieve thirst appeared: drips will not help thirst but cause harm; the body takes care of thirst itself; drips might help thirst; and, mouth care to relieve thirst or dry mouth. Conclusions The palliative care physicians had different experiences regarding thirst, from thirst never arising, to a lack of awareness. They thought good mouth care worked well to alleviate the feeling of thirst and dry mouth. Most physicians did not want to give patients drips, while some did. This study indicates that there are many unanswered questions when it comes to thirst at end-of-life and that further research is needed.
Immobilization and docking studies of Carlsberg subtilisin for application in poultry industry

Carlsberg subtilisin from Bacillus licheniformis PB1 was investigated as a potential feed supplement, through immobilizing on bentonite for improving the growth rate of broilers. Initially, the pre-optimized and partially-purified protease was extracted and characterized using SDS-PAGE with MW 27.0 KDa. The MALDI-TOF-MS/MS spectrum confirmed a tryptic peptide peak with m/z 1108.496 referring to the Carlsberg subtilisin as a protein-digesting enzyme with alkaline nature. The highest free enzyme activity (30 U/mg) was observed at 50°C, 1 M potassium phosphate, and pH 8.0. the enhanced stability was observed when the enzyme was adsorbed to an inert solid support with 86.39 ± 4.36% activity retention under 20 optimized conditions. Additionally, the dried immobilized enzyme exhibited only a 5% activity loss after two-week storage at room temperature. Structural modeling (Docking) revealed that hydrophobic interactions between bentonite and amino acids surrounding the catalytic triad keep the enzyme structure intact upon drying at RT. The prominent hygroscopic nature of bentonite facilitated protein structure retention upon drying. During a 46-days study, supplementation of boilers’ feed with the subtilisin–bentonite complex promoted significant weight gain i.e. 15.03% in contrast to positive control (p = 0.001).
Impact of dissolved CO2 on calcification in two large, benthic foraminiferal species

Rising atmospheric CO2 shifts the marine inorganic carbonate system and decreases seawater pH, a process often abbreviated to ‘ocean acidification’. Since acidification decreases the saturation state for crystalline calcium carbonate (e.g., calcite and aragonite), rising dissolved CO2 levels will either increase the energy demand for calcification or reduce the total amount of CaCO3 precipitated. Here we report growth of two large benthic photosymbiont-bearing foraminifera, Heterostegina depressa and Amphistegina lessonii, cultured at four different ocean acidification scenarios (400, 700, 1000 and 2200 ppm atmospheric pCO2). Using the alkalinity anomaly technique, we calculated the amount of calcium carbonate precipitated during the incubation and found that both species produced the most carbonate at intermediate CO2 levels. The chamber addition rates for each of the conditions were also determined and matched the changes in alkalinity. These results were complemented by micro-CT scanning of selected specimens to visualize the effect of CO2 on growth. The increased chamber addition rates at elevated CO2 concentrations suggest that both foraminifera species can take advantage of the increased availability of the inorganic carbon, despite a lower saturation state. This adds to the growing number of reports showing the variable response of foraminifera to elevated CO2 concentrations, which is likely a consequence of differences in calcification mechanisms.
African Genesis: Hominin proximal femur morphology from the Tugen Hills to Flores

The proximal femur has played a prominent role in our understanding of the origin and evolution of human gait because of its functional importance and relatively good representation in the fossil record. This study examines the morphology of femora from the fossil record, including those attributed to Orrorin tugenensis (BAR 1002’00) and Homo fl oresiensis (LB1/9). Considerable debate surrounds both of these taxa, focusing primarily on the evidence that the former is a hominin and shows convincing adaptations for bipedalism , and over whether or not the latter is a pathological diminutive modern human or a distinct species (and what the anatomy suggests regarding the evolutionary history of H. fl oresiensis ). This study addresses the questions of whether Orrorin femoral morphology more closely resembles femora of humans and fossil hominins than apes, and whether it is more similar to the femora of Homo among the hominins. Our study also tests the hypothesis that the femoral morphology of LB1/9 is consistent with that of a small-bodied modern human, or more closely resembles fossil hominins. To test these questions, we compare the proximal femoral morphology of BAR 1002’00 and LB1/9 to a large sample of adult humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orang-utans and most available early hominin taxa. Importantly, the human sample includes individuals from largeand small-bodied populations that overlap with the small sizes of BAR 1002’00 and LB1/9. The results show that the external morphology of the Orrorin femur more closely resembles the femora of Australopithecus and Paranthropus than those of great apes, or fossil and modern Homo . Its morphology is not consistent with it being characterised as more like human than australopith femora, or a phylogenetic hypothesis that Orrorin is ancestral to Homo to the exclusion of the australopithecines. However, its morphology is consistent with its 6 13 Hominin proximal femur morphology from the Tugen Hills to Flores
Fractured carbonates in the Mediumfjellet thrust-stack in the Tertiary fold-and-thrust belt of Spitsbergen

This thesis describes a study that was carried out in the Tertiary fold-and-thrust belt of Svalbard, in the mountain range of Mediumfjellet summer 2007 and 2008. The focuses were on: i) further describing the larger structures of the Mediumfjellet, ii) analyze the fracture distribution in the limestone beds associated with the major structures in the area. Available data sets are based on photo textured Lidar scan and extensive field observations. The Mediumfjellet thrust stack is situated in the so-called central zone of the Spitsbergen fault-and-thrust belt. The mountain range displays three in-sequence thrusts (M1, M2, and M3) and one out-of-sequence thrust (G), with associated hanging wall anticlines. The anticlines are in general upright and tight, locally with overturned forelimbs, and characterized by thickening of the hinge zone and thinning of the forelimb. Lateral variations caused by oblique ramps, fault segment linkage, and lateral changes in the fold geometry and the fold plunge make the thrust system a complex deformation zone. The fracture system has been divided into three populations, namely; i) Perpendicular fractures including conjugate shear fractures and extensional fractures, ii) conjugate hybrid shear fractures, and iii) thrust fractures. Based on the systematic relationships to the fold axis, the perpendicular and hybrid fractures, are interpreted as syn-folding fractures, whereas observations of folded thrust fractures support a pre-folding event. This study thereby suggests a 2 stage kinematic fracture model, where the pre-folding thrust fractures indicate a NW-SE to N-S contraction, and the syn-folding fractures reveal NW-SW to E-W contraction. Fractures that do not fit into this model are assumed to be a result of lateral local variations or reactivation of existing fractures. When comparing the fracture intensity to the fold domains, the highest intensity is situated in the hinge zone. This implies a fold mechanism with fixed hinge folding, most commonly ascribed to fault-propagation folding or transported faultpropagation folding. Assuming good permeability for large throughgoing fractures and good porosity when there is a high intensity of short bed-terminating fractures, the study suggests a model with good fluid pathways in the forelimb near the major thrusts, and well developed short fractures in the major fold hinges, indicating the location of a possible reservoir.
