Perbaikan Segmentasi Pembuluh Darah Tipis Pada Citra Retina Menggunakan Fuzzy Entropy

Diabetic Retinopathy is a disorder of retinal blood vessels in the eye caused by complications of diabetes.Early detection is required in order to make these abnormalities can be treated quickly and appropriately.The disorder is characterized by a weakening of thin blood vessels due to blockage of blood flow then causes swelling of the eyes and even blindness.Therefore a method of analyzing retinal blood vessels is needed through the process of blood vessel segmentation, especially in important parts, namely thin blood vessels.The researchers propose combining the method of repairing thin blood vessels, known as Thin Vessel Enhancement and Fuzzy Entropy.Thin Vessel Enhancement is used to improve the image so that it can extract more blood vessels, especially thin blood vessels, while Fuzzy Entropy can determine the optimal threshold value based on the entropy value of the membership function.The resulting segmentation is divided into 3 categories, namely the main, medium and thin blood vessels based on the threshold value obtained from the entropy of each membership function on Fuzzy Entropy.The trial was conducted on the Thin Vessel Enhancement method using 1 kernel and Fuzzy Entropy from the first threshold value, then obtained the value of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 94.81%, 66.83%, and 97.51%.
Learning a Self-inverse Network for Unpaired Bidirectional Image-to-image Translation

Recently image-to-image translation has attracted significant interests in the literature, starting from the successful use of the generative adversarial network (GAN), to the introduction of cyclic constraint, to extensions to multiple domains. However, in existing approaches, there is no guarantee that the mapping between two image domains is unique or one-to-one. Here we propose a self-inverse network learning approach for unpaired image-to-image translation. Building on top of CycleGAN, we learn a self-inverse function by simply augmenting the training samples by swapping inputs and outputs during training and with separated cycle consistency loss for each mapping direction. The outcome of such learning is a proven one-to-one mapping function. Our extensive experiments on a variety of datasets, including cross-modal medical image synthesis, object transfiguration, and semantic labeling, consistently demonstrate clear improvement over the CycleGAN method both qualitatively and quantitatively. Especially our proposed method reaches the state-of-the-art result on the cityscapes benchmark dataset for the label to photo unpaired directional image translation.
Forecasting method for Ethereum cryptocurrency with autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model using high frequency data

Ethereum is a type of cryptocurrency that exhibits an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract functionality. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency whose blockchain is generated by the Ethereum platform. Ethereum can be transferred between accounts and used to compensate participant mining nodes for computations performed. Ethereum attracts the attention of investors when the price of ether is increased sharply in the year of 2017. Therefore, the objective of this study is to forecast the value of the exchange rate of Ethereum using high-frequency data. The findings of this study will help investors to evaluate the appropriateness of Ethereum to be selected as one profile in the investment portfolio. This study developed the forecasting method using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). The forecasting model investigated in this study is ARIMA (1,1,1) and ARIMA(1,1,2). ARIMA (1,1,2) shows a higher value of R-squared and lower the value of Akaike info criterion. Therefore, ARIMA(1,1,2) is a better model to estimate the likelihood of a model to estimate the future values of the Ethereum exchange rate. The ex-ante forecasting calculation indicates the mean absolute percentage error is 0.54 percentages. Therefore, the ARIMA (1,1,2) is a reliable model for forecasting. In conclusion, the Ethereum exchange rate can be forecast using high-frequency data with the implementation of reliable ARIMA model namely ARIMA (1,1,2).
German as Contact Zone

This book suggests that linguistic translation is one minute province of an immense process of creative activity that constitutes the world as an ongoing dynamism of unceasing transformation. Building upon the speculative theory of quantum gravity, which provides a narrative of the push-pull dynamics of transformative translation from the very smallest scales of reality to the very greatest, this book argues that the so-called translative turn of the 1990s was correct in positing translation as a paradigmatic concept of transformation. In a provocative provincialization of linguistic translation, literary translation in particular is here intended to display a remarkable awareness of its own participation in a larger creative contact zoneand then proceeds to read the German language, literary translations in and out of German, and the German-language classroom as quantum contact zones.

진주 사곡마을의 고문헌

Sagok village where the Jinyang Ha clan (晉陽河氏) members settled down over 400 years ago has produced a variety of histories, dignitaries, and cultures, leaving remains here and there. Among them, there are some old documents, books, and printing blocks stored by the Songjeong head family (松亭 宗家), the Jimyeongdang head family (知命堂 宗家), and descendents of Mukwagong (默窩公 宗中). The Songjeong head family is descendents of the first son Wan (琬, 1588-1617) of Songjeong Ha Soo-il (河受一), and keeps 109 kinds, 133 cases of old documents, 149 kinds, 377 books of old books, and 4 kinds, 113 printing blocks. The Jimyeongdang head family is descendents of the first son Pil-chenng (必淸, 1701-1758) of Ha Se-eung (河世應, 1671-1727), and keeps 3,518 old documents and 636 kinds, 1,444 books of old books. The descendents of Mukwa Ha Gae-hyeon (默窩 河啓賢, 1804-1869), the 6th son of Ha I-tae (涵窩 河以泰, 1751-1830). Ha I-tae is the 8th generation descendent of Songjeong Ha Soo-il, and great grand son of Seokgae Ha Se-hi. They keep 2,072 printing blocks of Jujaeoryu (朱子語類) published by the Jinyang Ha clan residing in Soogok (水谷). Most of the materials mentioned above were introduced to the world by the old document search in Jinju area in 2003 and the wooden printing block search in Gyeongnam area in 2008. But those materials have not received specific attention among researchers and have not been researched. The reason can be found in the obstacles researchers face when they deal with such old documents. For example, as they were written in Chinese characters, idoo [old Korean alphabets to read Chinese characters], and with choseo [cursive writing style], it is very difficult for non-specialists to understand them. Old books should be classified into authors, and order of books, and translated into modern Korean words to be used by people. It is expected that this research will be the momentum for further classification, copying, and translation of raw materials, raising the interests of researchers and their use of those documents, and that deeper researches on the histories of dignitaries, thought, economy, and others focusing on Sagok village and the Jinyang Ha clan.

Comparative Study Of Working Conditions Of Elementary School Teachers Under Different Management In Manipur

Teachers are required not only to impart knowledge in various subjects, they have also to develop the whole personality of the child-body, mind and spirit. The most important equipment of a teacher is his back ground of education and training. A teacher must represent a running stream and not a stagnant pool. The teaching community constitutes a very large segment of employees in Manipur. Both from the point of view of their number and their dispersal all over the state, they distributed a significant service under the state. According to National Policy on Educaion (1992), the living and working conditions of teachers includes pay and allowances, career advancement, retirement and medical benefits, housing facilities, provision of study leave special provisions for women teachers, service conditions, postings and transfers, Teacher’s Welfare teachers’ participation and recruitments. The main objective is to study the working conditions of teachers f elementary schools with respect to management. Out of 600 teachers, 268 teachers were from 38 Elementary Government school, 122 teachers from 26 Elementary Aided schools and 210 teachers from 32 Elementary Private schools. It was found that 47.62% of private schools have pucca building while that of Government and Aided schools are 35.82% and 20.48% respectively. Lack of the minimum essential facilities in elementary schools exist in all three types of school in which Government schools are much lacking behind the other counter parts. School inspection on regular basis is found to be lacking in Government (48.88%) and Aided schools (49.18%). Private school teachers show highest in Heavy work-load(61.90%) and miscillenious work(20.95%). service conditions of Government teachers are in better position as compared to Aided and Private school teachers. The majority of Private school teachers reported that Salaries are paid in time as compared to other counter parts. service conditions of Government teachers are in better position as compared to Aided and Private school teachers. Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) are found to be highest in Government schools (67.21%) and lowest in Private schools (53.33%). It was found 73.50% of Government, 72.89% of Aided and 43.33% of Private school teachers do not have computer knowledge.
Gatekeeper: Quantifying the Impacts of Service to the Scientific Community

Academic scholars have several duties, including teaching, research, and service to the community and society. While a scholar’s research impacts can be reasonably measured and tracked via citation analysis in existing digital libraries, to our best knowledge, there has been no system that systematically collects and quantifies a scholar’s impacts of service to the scientific community. In particular, we are interested in measuring scholars’ impacts as “gatekeepers,” who play a key role in the spread of research findings and new knowledge via the accept/reject decisions of research articles. In this work, toward this goal, we present a prototype digital library, Gatekeeper, that crawls, extracts, and quantifies the impacts of service based on one’s roles in the technical program committees of Computer Science conferences.
LoEM: Improving Load Balancing for MapReduce-based Entity Matching

MapReduce is a famous parallel programming system that facilitates the computation needed for complex big data applications. However, the data skew and load balancing problems limit its performance, especially, during a reduce phase. In this phase, the partitioning function assigns the keys to reducers based on a hash function that usually generates skewed partitions. This is the main cause of the unbalance workload across reducers. This article addresses the data skew and load balancing problems in MapReduce in the context of entity matching. The authors propose in this paper a new approach, LoEM, to assign the keys based on the reducers’ processing capability. The experimental results demonstrate that LoEM improves the load balancing of Hadoop up to 20% and 82% in homogeneous and heterogeneous environments, respectively, and 8% and 76% compared to BlockSplit approach in homogeneous and heterogeneous environments, respectively.
Identifying the Sources of Data

Chatbots are one more channel of providing conversational flows to customers. In the previous chapter, we discussed how the banking and insurance industries are structured and what kinds of interactions happen with the customers in those industries. There are many types of touchpoints a bank or insurer provides to customers in the day-to-day operations, starting from selling a new policy to settling escalations of claims. All these touchpoints are sources of data for building an AI Assistant, i.e., chatbot. In this chapter, we will start by introducing chatbot types and sources of data for training chatbots and then we will introduce the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in context of the chatbot for personal data.

The Form of the Digital Medium as a Driver of a Participatory Approach in Teaching and Learning

Media characterize teaching methods both for the historical (when they were conceived or widespread), the communicative (the relationship between the subjects of the teaching process), and the cultural aspect (the concept of knowledge in the relationship between subjects and objects of teaching/learning).The lesson derives from the "book" form, becoming unidirectional with the emergence of electrical technologies; Skinner"s programmed instruction also appears in the electric age, and so on.Today, network technologies are structurally related to self-discovery learning paths (such as in gamification strategies) and collaborative methodologies (cooperative learning, PBL, CBL, project-based learning); moreover, the continuous handling of digital technologies imposes a different conception of knowledge.It is precisely these media characteristics that suggest a didactic approach based on interactivity and horizontal participation, new concepts that can be exploited and put into practice by old words: dialogue and negotiation.If the former refers to the never outdated Socratic system and to the need for the teacher to put himself in a situation of listening, negotiation becomes a way of interaction that can be established at every level of the teaching/learning process, from the choice of some contents to the setting of evaluation criteria.The paper shows an example of this approach in a blended university course held for four years, where some of these strategies occurred: group works, peer evaluation, co-responsibility of evaluation criteria, and a partially free choice about the contents to be studied and learnt.
