Video Structure Extraction using Shot Boundary Detection for Forgery Detection

In the digital era, video and pictures are perceived as more reliable than words. Considering the popularity of the internet, forging digital videos is probably nothing new. The recording, archiving, and sharing images and videos on media platforms are frequently done with mobile phones and digital cameras. Additionally, anyone may easily adjust or edit an image because of the availability of software editors. Technology and technological advancements have made video authentication detection a prevalent issue. As a result, digital recordings are being used as visual evidence in many susceptible domains, including media, politics, civil or criminal trials, and military and intelligence activities. Digital videos are an essential source of information with a high degree of evidence, but they may also be easily manipulated on purpose. As a result, in situations where reliance on video evidence is required, it is crucial to authenticate the contents of the video evidence before accepting it as an accurate picture of reality. This research focuses on several strategies for detecting shot boundaries to determine whether video content has been altered or tampered with. Although shot boundary detection is difficult, it is commonly used in structured video because these techniques can detect changes brought on by a regular shot change rate. In the meantime, this research will provide a novel shot boundary detection-based video authentication algorithm essential for developing practical tools to evaluate the video's authenticity based on its fundamental structure.

The effect of capital structure and corruption on economic growth: Empirical evidence from Nigeria

Corruption thrives in an environment characterized by weak institutions that couldn’t enforce economic discipline to engender societal trust among market participants. It affects economic transactions relating to raising capital between corporate managers, shareholders, and members of the public. The extent of the effect of corruption and capital structure on economic growth in emerging economies has not been extensively investigated. This study examined the effect of capital structure and corruption on the economic growth of Nigeria between 2010-2021. The panel quantile regression technique was employed. To check the robustness of the panel quantile results, the technique of ordinary least squares estimations was used. The results show that a 1% increase in the corruption level and inflation reduces the Nigerian economic growth rate by 1.5781% and 0.0162% in the 20th percentile respectively. The significant negative impacts of corruption and inflation are consistent across all the percentiles. However, variables of the capital structure have no impact on the direction of Nigerian economic growth.

Blending of collaborative and active learning instructional methods to improve academic performance and self-motivation of vocational students

This study delves into the integration of collaborative and active learning methodologies as a means to enhance both academic achievement and self-motivation among students in the realm of vocational education. Collaborative learning, with its emphasis on teamwork, problem-solving, and social responsibility, complements the active learning approach, which fosters autonomy, deep understanding, and critical thinking. Together, these strategies form a comprehensive framework that not only facilitates academic excellence but also cultivates the lifelong learning skills imperative for sustained career success. While the potential benefits of collaborative and active learning are evident, the study acknowledges the existence of practical challenges, including limited resources and resistance from educators. Addressing these challenges is paramount for the effective implementation of these pedagogical approaches. Overcoming such obstacles will empower vocational education to harness the transformative potential of collaboration and active learning, equipping students with the necessary skills and motivation to thrive in their chosen careers. By navigating these challenges successfully, educators and institutions can create an environment that prepares students not only for the demands of their immediate professions but also for the dynamic challenges of the evolving professional landscape.
IMPROVING THE LOCALIZATION IN THE DOCKING PROBLEM OF THE VIBOT-2 MOBILE ROBOT

This article presents a positioning solution for a mobile robot system, the Vibot-2 robot, in the docking problem where the robot must move backwards precisely to the charging position or the location to pick up the delivery cart (or return the cart) during the execution tasks. The localization system needs to calculate the robot's posture (including position coordinates and heading angle) in a fixed coordinate system attached to a fixed station with an accuracy within an allowable limit. The solution to build a positioning module for the Vibot-2 robot uses a stereo camera in combination with AprilTags mounted on a locator plate fixed at the station. Compared with the previous positioning solution applied to the Vibot-2 system, the proposed solution in this article changes the camera type and fiducial tag layout. Experimental results show that the new solution helps to increase the field of view of the positioning module by 30%, increase the measurement accuracy by more than 4 times in term of the average error in the horizontal axis, and at the same time, reduce the rate of measurements with errors outside the allowable limit in term of position by more than 1.5 times and in term of heading angle by more than 2 times.
Exploring Vocabulary Teaching: Planning and Challenges with the Implementation of Audio-Visual Approach in Rural East Malaysian Primary-Level English Language Classrooms

Vocabulary is key to effective communication. Previous studies revealed that teachers often overlook vocabulary teaching compared to other language skills such as speaking, listening, grammar, reading, and writing. The integration of technology into the Malaysian education system has raised concerns about how vocabulary lessons are planned and executed in English classrooms, particularly in rural Sarawak schools in Malaysia. Studies in the past found that teachers have been hesitant to use Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) aligned resources despite knowing about their availability . This research was conducted to determine the teachers' vocabulary lesson planning and the challenges teachers experienced when using the audio-visual (AV) approach to teach vocabulary in the primary-level English language classroom. Based on the purposive sampling technique, three primary-level English language teachers from one school in a rural area of Bau, Sarawak, participated in this study to provide rich information relevant to the research questions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observation and document analysis, and were analysed thematically based on Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis method. The findings indicated that teachers referred to CEFR-aligned documents for lesson planning especially when selecting resources and using the framework as a benchmark for practice. The findings indicated that teachers were facing challenges in two primary areas: infrastructure challenges related to information technology and policy challenges related to the CEFR. The results from this study provide practitioners with practical insights into how rural teachers implement the AV approach to teaching vocabulary in their classrooms. Keywords: Vocabulary teaching; audio-visual approach; primary-level English language classroom; CEFR; rural school
Effect of Hydroxyapatite Filler on Mechanical Properties of PE/HAp Composite as a Candidate for Bone Repair

Polymer is one material that can be used as a fixation to repair fractured or broken bones. However, polymers are soft and ductile, so modifying them by adding hydroxyapatite as a filler is necessary. Polyethylene is a high density polymer with more potent material properties to be utilized as a matrix. The PE-HAp composites were synthesized by compacting and heating the composition percentage of Hap 25%, 35% and 45%. Based on the characterization results using XRD, FTIR, and hardness test instruments, it is concluded that the addition of HAp composition results in better composite mechanical properties. The material properties are improving, increasing the hardness value (shore A) by 63 shore A. The hardness value increases because the composite properties are more compact, and the PE matrix physically binds the HAp filler. This is reinforced by XRD and FTIR characterization results, with no new compounds formed and no new molecular vibrational patterns in the FTIR spectrum.

DiffQuant: Reducing Compression Difference for Neural Network Quantization

Deep neural network quantization is a widely used method in the deployment of mobile or edge devices to effectively reduce memory overhead and speed up inference. However, quantization inevitably leads to a reduction in the performance and equivalence of models. Moreover, access to labeled datasets is often denied as they are considered valuable assets for companies or institutes. Consequently, performing quantization training becomes challenging without sufficient labeled datasets. To address these issues, we propose a novel quantization pipeline named DiffQuant, which can perform quantization training using unlabeled datasets. The pipeline includes two cores: the compression difference (CD) and model compression loss (MCL). The CD can measure the degree of equivalence loss between the full-precision and quantized models, and the MCL supports fine-tuning the quantized models using unlabeled data. In addition, we design a quantization training scheme that allows the quantization of both the batch normalization (BN) layer and the bias. Experimental results show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on ResNet18/34/50 networks, maintaining performance with a reduced CD. We achieve Top-1 accuracies of 70.08%, 74.11%, and 76.16% on the ImageNet dataset for the 8-bit quantized ResNet18/34/50 models and reduce the gap to 0.55%, 0.61%, and 0.71% with the full-precision network, respectively. We achieve CD values of only 7.45%, 7.48%, and 8.52%, which allows DiffQuant to further exploit the potential of quantization.

Politeness of Chinese-Javanese cross-ethnic communication in the Javanese Cultural Area, Indonesia

The ethnic Chinese and Javanese have lived together in the Javanese Cultural Area for hundreds of years, and use the same languages in daily life, but their tendency to apply different politeness systems can cause problems. This article investigates the politeness of Chinese–Javanese cross-ethnic communication in the Javanese Cultural Area, Indonesia. Data were collected using Discourse Completion Task and analysed using the theory of Scollon &amp; Scollon (2001). The results show that the factors that cause differences in the application of politeness systems in the ethnic Chinese and Javanese are the realisation of strategies and the contexts of strategy use. Cross-ethnic communication that occurs in the contexts (=P–D) and (=P+D) is generally normal because both ethnicities apply the same politeness system. However, in the contexts (–P+D), (+P+D), (–P–D) and (+P–D), the two ethnic groups tend to apply different politeness systems. This is prone to cause politeness friction in cross-ethnic communication.
A pragmatic taxonomy of violent language in online interaction

The features of mediated communication, along with those of internet language, enable cyber space to be a home for violent language, the adoption of which generally stems from the sender user’s intense emotions or malicious intentions. In accounting for the diffusion of violent language in online interaction from the perspective of cyberpragmatics and speech act theory, I deduce four major variables of violent language as target, intention, message and effect. Accordingly, the article suggests a pragmatic taxonomy of violent language in online interaction, which consists of six categories ranging from conventional violent language targeted at an individual to unconventional language which is not explicitly targeted. Analysis of the categories testifies that the use of violent language in online interaction is not confined to enemies or adversaries, but extends to people who are close to each other. In such a case, rather than ruin or undermine their relationship, violent language could maintain or even strengthen it. In addition to clarifying how to deal with internet language, the article offers some suggestions for further research.
Towards an Adaptive Implementation Tool for Devices in Complex Hospital Departments

Implementation of technological digital devices in existing complex hospital environments remains a challenge. We constructed a framework for the implementation of technological devices in operating rooms. In this research, we address users' needs for an adaptive (digital) implementation tool or app. We use a requirements engineering method to identify stakeholders and to identify steps to define requirements for this digital tool. We will construct personas to identify requirements and based on these findings a market search will follow to decide, either to buy and configure an existing tool or to develop a new tool that facilitates the implementation of devices in complex hospital departments.
