Automatic system for stitching microscopic images using OpenPano

Analyzing pap smear images by manual reading through a microscope is a challenge for doctors especially in distinguishing epithelial cells from inflammatory cells. A computer-based application is required for cervical cancer screening and displaying the results of reading automatically pap smear images using a microscope. This study aims to develop a module for stitching microscopic images including pap smear images which are collected from a microscope. A module for automatically stitching pap smear images is an important component in pap smear images management system. There are three tasks in stitching several pap smear images which were implemented in this study. Those three tasks include 1) feature extraction with scale-invariant feature transform, 2) estimation of homography or affine transformation by random sample consensus and 3) optimization of connection between images with bundle adjustment and blending. We use OpenPano to implement those three tasks. The system has successfully stitched the pap smear images with the feature overlap among the images greater than 10%. The stitched pap smear image has good quality after smoothing using the vertical blending step. In addition, blurry pixels on in some spots disappeared after performing the stitching error. The image quality has been improved after the multiband blending using 16-band and 128-band which shows the significant improvement on the 128-band. The system is expected to assist doctors in pap smear image identification.

Evolution of Expertiment in the Context of Technogenic Civilization

Philosophical and methodological approaches to the processes of experimental measurement are discussed in the context of the modern natural sciences. “A collective experimenter” category is considered as conceptual foundation of modern experimentation in the scientific researches’ directions oriented to the people surviving in the modern world. Deepening of ecological crisis and its overcoming are connected to the process of noosphere’s elements formation. Howard Pattee’s approaches to the essence of the experiment are considered from the perspective of his ideas of dynamic and linguistic complementarity of levels of a complex system. Pattee insists on the fact that artificial complex system does not exist except as abstraction that leaves out the brain in which their description originated. Howard Pattee have made the distinction between rate-dependent dynamical processes and rate-independent linguistic descriptions as essential component of complex systems. According to Pattee, “a measuring device is a physical constraint that tacitly execute a rule that relate a system to an element of description of system. Any attempt to make the dynamics of this execution explicit or detail only obscures the measurements. That is the more you describe the measuring device, the less effectively it measures or describes system. A similar situation occurs when we generate speech. Either we can say what we mean, or we can analyze how we have said it, but trying to do both at the same time renders us incoherent. We cannot speak two languages at once, since the essence of any language is the unity, completeness and coherence of its syntactical rules”. Thus, Pattee’s approach could be used to explain how action with things produces numbers. It is also very important that a complex system must read and write its own messages. Therefore, no external observer is needed for self-describing of the complex system. Pattee’s approach seems to be very promising for Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory development.

Feature and Box Propagation for Video Vehicle Detection

Video vehicle detection is more valuable and challenging than image vehicle detection for an intelligent transportation system. Due to the existing situation of vehicle blurring, occlusion, and scale changing in traffic monitoring, using static vehicle detection network often leads to the decrease of detection accuracy. In this paper, based on DFF method, we fuse a tracking algorithm to realize box propagation, and form a new video vehicle detection framework that considers both detection accuracy and speed. We extract feature maps in key frames, and propagate feature maps and boxes in non-key frames. Compared with static detectors, the proposed method greatly improves the consistency of video vehicle detection results. In addition, the detection performance of our method is obviously superior to the basic detector DFF in accuracy.
Survey Paper Life Insurance and Death claim management using blockchain

The insurance sector is heavily dependent on multiple processes for transacting parties for beginning, preserving and closing diverse kinds of policies. The major concerns are the time required and security of transaction processing and payment settlement. Blockchain innovation which was initially created as an unchanging dispersed record for recognizing twofold spending of cryptographic forms of money is presently progressively utilized in various FinTech (Financial Technology) frameworks to attempt profitability and security necessities. The application of blockchain in FinTech processing requires a profound understanding of the basic mechanisms of industry. Smart contracts help us in automating the interactions between the blockchain system and the traditional transaction system. In this paper, we are focusing on designing an effective method to use blockchain enabled platform for transactions of insurance sector. We will discuss the primary design necessities, design suggestions and convert different insurance related processes into smart contracts. In order to evaluate the performance of our system and the security of the proposed design, comprehensive experiments are performed.

Transferring Monolingual Model to Low-Resource Language: The Case of Tigrinya

In recent years, transformer models have achieved great success in natural language processing tasks. Most of the current state-of-the-art NLP results are achieved by using monolingual transformer models, where the model is pre-trained using a single language unlabelled text corpus. Then, the model is fine-tuned to the specific downstream task. However, the cost of pre-training a new transformer model is high for most languages. In this work, we propose a novel transfer learning method to adopt a strong source language model, trained from a large monolingual corpus to a low-resource language. Thus, using XLNet language model, we demonstrate competitive performance with mBERT and a pre-trained target language model on the Cross-lingual Sentiment (CLS) dataset and on a new sentiment analysis dataset for low-resourced language Tigrinya. With only 10k examples of the given Tigrinya sentiment analysis dataset, English XLNet has achieved 78.88% F1-Score outperforming BERT and mBERT by 10% and 7%, respectively. More interestingly, fine-tuning (English) XLNet model on the CLS dataset has promising results compared to mBERT and even outperformed mBERT for one dataset of the Japanese language.
The Opinion of Elementary School Teachers about the Use of ICT in Biology Classes in Four European Countries

In the 21stcentury pupils learn how to use technological devices from their earlychildhood. Therefore, the use of Information and Communications Technology(ICT) in teaching and learning processes seems obvious. For the purpose of thisresearch, 305 class teachers from four European countries (Serbia, Spain, Croatiaand Hungary) were asked about their experiences and opinions on the use of ICTin biology classes. The aim was to determine whether they consider that this wayof teaching is effective and may motivate pupils for further learning. The resultsshowed that the teachers from all four countries agree that pupils enjoy and aremore motivated when learning with the use of the ICT, and it improves the qualityof their lessons.Keywords: biology education; information and communications technology;primary school; teachers
p5_6 Living on a prayer

The big hit livin' on a by Bon Jovi is still a popular song to this day, but when it comes to the physics of living on a prayer, what does it take? When interpreting this phrase, a prayer can be said by an individual person at a normal speaking volume of 60 dB. It was found that it would require 41,000 people to produce enough sound pressure to levitate a 70kg man we will call Dave. For the least amount of people, it was found that 37 people would have to scream at 121 dB to be able to levitate Dave. For both cases this is assuming no pressure loss over distance.

Optimal rate estimation of the mixing distribution in Poisson mixture models via Laplace inversion

Consistent estimators of the mixing distribution in Poisson mixture models are constructed for both the right censored and the uncensored case. The estimators are based on a kind of Laplace inversion via factorial moments. The rate of convergence of the mean integrated squared error of these estimators is (log n/ log log n) 2. It is also shown that there do not exist estimators for which this rate is better.
Pantauan Prediktif Covid-19 Dengan Menggunakan Metode SIR dan Model Statistik Di Indonesia

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many attempts have been made to predict cases of additional patients, deaths and other medical indicators using various methods. Several forecast projects and predictions have influenced policies in several countries, including Indonesia. However, predictions and predictions for the COVID-19 pandemic are inherently uncertain. Uncertainty is rooted in a lot of the unknown. Starting from the virus itself, complexity, heterogeneity, human behavior, protocols and government intervention. In this study we explored the potential using the term Predictive Monitoring using the SIR method and statistical models. This method was chosen because it is one of the basic methods in epidemiological models. The purpose of this research is to capture and understand changes that occur as meaningful signals of uncertainty over changes in actual scenarios. The results of predictive monitoring obtained from this study amounted to 0.89 or 89% for the cure rate and 0.64 or 64% for the mortality rate. With this signal, it is hoped that the planning, behavior and mentality of the current community will become more forward-looking in initiating and guiding preventive actions to shape the real future.

Shoplifting - a form of organised retail crime

The term is associated with crimes involving big money: cash-in-transit robberies, smuggling of precious metals and stones, smuggling of wildlife and animal parts, drug trafficking, crossborder vehicle crime and money laundering, to name a few. In the process we overlook the potential role of organised crime in the retail environment. Organised crime in the retail environment is about much more than an armed robbery at a shopping mall when a group of heavily armed criminals target shops trading in goods such as jewellery, IT equipment, cellphones and exclusive clothing. It also involves the large-scale theft of everyday consumer items such as baby formula, cigarettes, razors, over-the-counter medication, health and beauty items, designer brand clothing, accessories as well as electronics.
