Indigenous Knowledge and Endogenous Development: Exploring Survival Strategy of a Tribal Community of Jharkhand, India

Indigenous communities depend directly on natural ecosystems for their livelihoods — wild plants and animals for food, for clothing, for fuel, medicine, and shelter. The deteriorating ecological situation, persistent poverty, social, political and religious tensions and the reduction of biological and cultural diversity present a polycrisis for which new answers are urgently needed. It is in this context the relevance of Indigenous knowledge has entered in the mainstream of sustainable development and the concept of endogenous development has received greater attention. Endogenous development refers to development that is mainly, though not exclusively, based on locally available resources, such as land, water, vegetation, knowledge, skills and competencies. The present article is an endeavor to document the customary practices based on indigenous knowledge of a Sauria-Paharia community in relation to their livelihood strategies for survival in a hostile condition. The article highlights the localized livelihood organization encompassing pattern of resource identification and use, ‘local laws’ of resource conservation, labor organization in terms of acquisition of specialized knowledge, continuity of knowledge through customary networks and distribution of knowledge in terms of age and gender. Despite the presence of all the strength required for the endogenous development, the villagers have to combat with the challenges imposed by the extraneous factors like religious conversion, culturally incompatible education system, intervention of development agencies and programmes and acculturation of the tribal society into the non-tribal framework through greater participation in different fairs and festivals of other ethnic and religious groups. Finally, the article tries to explore the possibilities of endogenous development in the changing scenario by rapprochement of persisting knowledge base of the community and the factors deviating the community from their customary practices that so far been successful in the local context. Keywords: Indigenous Knowledge, Customary Practices, Endogenous Development, Sauria Paharia.
Group Polarization Based on Agent Emotional Characteristics and Credibility

The frequent occurrence of group polarization in many internet mass incidents produces adverse impacts on the social stability and poses a significant challenge for social management. We construct an opinion evolution model with agent emotional characteristics and credibility based on the Deffuant model to study the evolutionary mechanism of group polarization, which connects the agent’s firmness with the agent’s opinion, taking a full account of the agent heterogeneity. We analyze the impacts of initial opinion distribution, network structure, and opinion leader on the group opinion evolution. The results show that group polarization is easier to form when the initial opinions are in a normal distribution, and group polarization will also form under the impact of initial minority agents with extreme opinions. Different network structures will pose different effects on the group opinion evolution, and group polarization is easier to form in the small-world network and BA scale-free network. In addition, opinion leader also affects the group opinion evolution, and it will hinder the generation of group polarization.
Micro-Doppler signatures of subwavelength nonrigid bodies in motion

Motion signatures of nonstationary electromagnetic bodies are imprinted in their scattering spectrum. While the Doppler frequency shift holds information about the velocity of its center of mass, internal degrees of freedom in a nonrigid body, such as rotation and vibration, introduce nontrivial spectral distortions, termed micro-Doppler signatures. Contemporary analytic characterization of such signatures typically neglects subwavelength electromagnetic coupling, which can dominate the scattering signatures of motion. To address this overlooked scattering regime, a theory of moving coupled dipoles is used to model a moving nonrigid body. The method is verified experimentally in the microwave regime, demonstrating remote sensing of subwavelength information. The method can be useful for analyzing and characterizing effects that frequently emerge in radar science, healthcare monitoring, optical manipulation of particles, and many other applications, where remote sensing and classification of motion are important.
The epidemiology of injury and illness amongst athletes at the Indian Ocean Island Games, Mauritius, 2019

Background The Indian Ocean Island Games is a multi-sport event that occurs every four years and includes athletes from seven islands of the Indian Ocean, namely, Comoros, Reunion, Mayotte, Madagascar, Maldives, Seychelles, and Mauritius. Objectives This study aims to describe the injury and illness epidemiology of the athletes participating during the 2019 Indian Ocean Islands Games. Methods This prospective cohort study recorded injury and illness cases from athletes who competed in these Games. All medical physicians received detailed instructions and training on data collection using an injury report form. All athletes (minors and adults) who provided consent, or consent given from the minors’ guardians, were included in this study. Athletes who did not provide consent for this study were excluded. Results Athletes (n = 1 521; 531 women and 990 men) reported 160 injuries (injury incidence rate of 11%) and 85 illnesses (illness incidence rate of 6%). The percentage of distribution of injuries were highest in football and basketball. Most injuries occurred during competition, compared with training, joint sprains were the most common type of injury (28%), followed by muscle strains (19%). Men suffered most of the injuries (79% vs. 21% for women). Similarly, men sustained more illnesses than women (57% vs. 43%). Most illnesses affected the respiratory system (67%), and infection was the most common cause of illness (84%) in participating athletes. Conclusion These findings are similar to previous events in other parts of the world. However, unique ailments, not previously reported on, were discovered. Epidemiological data from this study can be inferred to athletes who compete in similar multi-sport events in the Indian Ocean region.

Parental Influences on Children’s Oral Health Behaviors, Reading Behaviors, and Reading Attitudes Associated with the Sharing of a Digital Story from the eBook for Oral Health Literacy© Curriculum

This study investigated the relationships between parents and their children on oral health behaviors, reading behaviors, reading attitudes, and liking perceptions of one chapter from an eBook curriculum intervention. A Qualtrics platform was used to survey 316 parent-child dyads across the United States before and after the shared reading of one chapter from the eBook for Oral Health Literacy© entitled “Setting Goals for Going to the Dentist”. Participants answered 75 questions about their teeth brushing and flossing behaviors, number of cavities, how often they visited libraries and bookstores, enjoyment of reading, and perceptions (liking) of the words and pictures of the chapter that they read and heard. Statistically significant relationships were found between parents and their children on oral health behaviors (? 2 = 49.12, p < 0.001); reading behaviors (? 2 = 10.4, p < 0.01), reading attitudes (? 2 = 8.773, p < 0.01), and perception (liking) of the eBook chapter that they read and heard (? 2 = 113.813, p < 0.01). Results from 301 parent-child dyads point to the importance of social modeling that parents play in the development of their children’s oral health behaviors, reading behaviors, and reading attitudes. Testing of additional chapters from the eBook intervention is warranted.
Communication and the role of third-party endorsement in social crowdfunding

ABSTRACT Many studies have underlined the role of updates, pictures, videos, and narrative sections in reducing information asymmetry and producing positive signaling effects for crowdfunding projects. However, research on the role of external entities that partially co-finance projects and thus mitigate information asymmetry problems is almost non-existent. Based on fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), this study focuses on two groups of factors capable of mitigating asymmetric information problems: content communication (measured by words, videos, pictures, and updates) and endorsement from third-party. The study sample consists of 114 successful social crowdfunding projects posted on Eppela, an Italian crowdfunding platform launched in 2011. The study provides new evidence of the role of third-party investors. In social crowdfunding, the relevance of content communication seems to vary depending on the presence or absence of a third-party investor. The study also highlights the role of a broad content communication approach in fundraising in the social crowdfunding market.
A systematic survey of deep learning in breast cancer

In recent years, we witnessed a speeding development of deep learning in computer vision fields like categorization, detection, and semantic segmentation. Within several years after the emergence of AlexNet, the performance of deep neural networks has already surpassed human being experts in certain areas and showed great potential in applications such as medical image analysis. The development of automated breast cancer detection systems that integrate deep learning has received wide attention from the community. Breast cancer, a major killer of females that results in millions of deaths, can be controlled even be cured given that it is detected at an early stage with sophisticated systems. In this paper, we reviewed breast cancer diagnosis, detection, and segmentation computer‐aided (CAD) systems based on state‐of‐the‐art deep convolutional neural networks. The available data sets also indirectly determine CAD systems' performance, so we introduced and discussed the details of public data sets. The challenges remaining in CAD systems for breast cancer are discussed at the end of this paper. The highlights of this survey mainly come from three following aspects. First, we covered a wide range of the basics of breast cancer from imaging modalities to popular databases in the community; Second, we presented the key elements in deep learning to form the compactness for methods mentioned in reviewed papers; Third and lastly, the summative details in each reviewed paper are provided so that interested readers can have a refined version of these works without referring to original papers. Therefore, this systematic survey suits readers with varied backgrounds and will be beneficial to them.

A current reused CMOS RF‐DAC with complementary current control, quadrature LO chain, and adaptive body injection mixer is presented in 0.18‐μm bulk CMOS process. The complementary current control leads to achieve good linearity by reducing the variation of output impedance. The proposed quadrature LO chain can achieve accurate signals in a wideband with constant amplitude and exact phase. The body injection mixer is implemented with simple high‐k resistor. It is measured with 5 and 5.3 GHz continuous‐wave (CW) signal, respectively. The measured constellation has 1024 points with constant current consumption of 73 mA.
A Fast and Compact Deep Gabor Network for Micro-Doppler Signal Processing and Human Motion Classification

With the advances in radar technology, there is an increasing interest in radar-based applications for automated surveillance, tracking, and recognition. Radars capture the Doppler-induced frequency shifts, which can be utilized to recognize the small motions by vibrating or rotating parts of the target. This paper introduces a fast and compact deep Gabor neural network for human motion classification using backscattered signals from a continuous-wave Doppler radar. The joint time-frequency representation produced by the S-method is employed to depict the micro-Doppler signature of a walking person. We introduce a new Gabor layer as a generic feature extractor for designing compact neural architectures. Each Gabor layer consists of several steerable Gabor filters that can be trained to extract the salient micro-Doppler features and improve computation efficiency. For human motion classification from a distance, the Deep Gabor Network (DGN) is trained in an end-to-end manner to process the local patches in the time-frequency representation of the radar signal. A Bayesian optimization technique is employed to select the optimal network hyperparameters. The experimental results on a real radar dataset show that the proposed method achieves competitive classification rates compared to several existing approaches while having a significantly smaller model size and shorter prediction time.

The Synthetic Powders Extracted of Ostrich Eggshell and Evaluated the Effect of These Bone Powders on Bone Remodeling and Repairing

In this paper we present the bone repairing immediately by ostrich eggshell powder that performed powder by ultrasonic way, lower than bone healing by self healing. The radiological and clinical survey about bone healing by ostrich eggshell powder was compared with the result of self-healing of bone defect in control groups. The study was performed on 10 mix bread dogs in two groups. Two defects on tibia diaphysis bone has been done, that one of them filled by ostrich eggshell powder and another one defect was empty for self-healing as control. Clinical and radiological evaluation of the animal model were done at thirty days and sixty days after beginning of study. Radiologically finding seems to be satisfactory regeneration with acceptable new bone formation due to osteogenesis in the main defect that filled by ostrich eggshell powder at earlier stage and bone healedremodeled defect sites that filled by ostrich eggshell powder at 60th day. Minimalbone reconstruction in the control defects are seen in the 30th and 60th day.Surgical complication in the animal study hind limbs didn’t seen. Body weights were normal. Physical examination detected ostrich eggshell particles remnants under the skin was evidenced, Deformity and new bone formation on the tibia bones didn’t see. Bone healing by Ostrich eggshell that powdered by ultrasound way was helpful compared with natural bone healing. There may be a significant relationship between particle size and bone oste induction that requires additional testing to determine this relationship. The reaction to ostrich egg shell particles was a non-immunogenic reaction without destructive effects.
Degree of muscle-and-tendon tonus effects on kinesthetic illusion in wrist joints toward advanced rehabilitation robotics

Abstract Due to increasing demand for rehabilitation and therapy for cerebrovascular diseases, patients require advanced development of medical rehabilitation robots. In our laboratory, we focus on the formation capability of the substitute neural path caused by brain plasticity using the kinesthetic illusion (KI), which is effective for therapies using robots. In KI, people perceive an illusionary limb movement without an actual movement when a vibration stimulus is applied to a limb’s tendons. In previous research, the optimal frequency that induces the maximum KI has a correlation factor of about 0.5 with the tendon’s natural frequency when a human subject is in a state of laxity. However, we do not know whether the above finding can be applied to actual rehabilitation because muscles and tendons are sometimes in tonus during rehabilitation, a state that varies the natural frequency. In this study, we investigate the correlation between the optimal and natural frequencies of tendon by systematically changing their tension to clarify the effects on the illusion induced by the muscle and the tendon when they are in tonus. We identified a negative correlation between the optimal and natural frequencies when they are in tonus, although a positive correlation appeared when they are in laxity. This result suggests that KI’s optimal frequency should be changed based on the degree of the tendon and muscle tonus. Therefore, our present findings provide a suitable vibration frequency that induces KI due to the degree of the tendon and muscle tonus during robot therapies.
Pumice as Precursor in Geopolymer Paste and Mortar

: Natural rocks of magmatic origin are alternative precursors in alkali-activated materials and provide opportunities in the search for more environmentally friendly binders compared to portland cement. The pumice is one of these rocks and its amorphous structure and chemical composition make it one of the candidates as a precursor in producing geopolymer binder when finely ground. Since the majority of the pumice reserves are located in Turkey increases its potential utilization in this area, even more. This paper evaluates the physical, mechanical, and microstructural properties of geopolymer pastes and mortars manufactured with pumice powder (PP) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) with the activating agents sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and sodium silicate (SS) solution. The experimental results showed that the compressive strength of the geopolymer pastes was mainly affected by the activator concentration and the PP ratio, rather than the activator type, for single activator mixes. However, the incorporation of SS changed this trend as the KOH and SS combination resulted in higher compressive strength compared to the NaOH and SS. The gradual increase of the PP ratio in the mix design decreased the density and thermal conductivity, on the other hand, increased the water absorption values of the geopolymer mortars. However, the physical properties were insignificantly changed in geopolymer mortars incorporating 60, 70, and 80% of PP in the binder.
Does Export Experience Improve Firms’ Productivity? Evidence from Indonesia

Abstract Once a firm enters a foreign market, its productivity should increase thanks to the exposure to new knowledge and experience abroad. We test this hypothesis of ‘learning-by-exporting’ by scrutinising export experience while controlling for self-selection effect. To measure learning, previous studies rely on productivity before- and after exporting, or on previous export participation, and so do not consider the evolving experience of exporting firms. In contrast, we use ‘export age’ – the number of years a firm is engaged in exporting activities. Based on Indonesian firm-level data from 2000 to 2012, we find that exporter’s productivity increases with export age, but the effect decreases once the firm becomes more experienced. Such effect is larger for relatively bigger firms and for those in certain industries in the footloose, capital-intensive sectors, such as motor vehicles and chemicals production. A policy implication of our study is that easier export procedure and access to information about foreign markets will be beneficial for firms, especially the new exporters.
