The Education Effectiveness Concerning Different Reinforcement
Authors: Zhang Yi
Published: April 2024

In psychology, reinforcement refers to all the activities that will increase the probability of a response occurring. Reinforcement tames peoples unwanted behaviors or encourages and strengthens an existing one. Given that the role of reinforcement is to affect motivation and determine what characteristics or stimuli will be treated as relevant for the learner, the way of influencing studying by reinforcement can be varied. The reinforcements can be classified into four types due to its own practice: negative reinforcement, positive reinforcement, punishment and extinction. Each type of reinforcement in shaping peoples behavior and response can lead different level of accuracy, duration, frequency and persistence. Negative reinforcement usually means taking away, which is the removal of an aversive event in order to encourage the behavior. Positive reinforcement means adding up, which a reward or event that increases the likelihood that a particular type of response will be repeated. The punishment and extinction are all involved in the effect in removing certain responses. In light of the current educational beliefs and values, positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement have already become main method of behavior modification to students at the mercy of teacher and school. Although reinforcement and education are not synonymous, successful formal education is virtually impossible without copious systematic reinforcement. This admittedly illustrates that the essential of reinforcement in playing a role in students learning efficiency. However, education methods are not stable and unitary as mentioned which can be impacted by different. Thus, choosing the types between positive and negative reinforcements to encourage students as motivation will be crucial for students effectiveness.

Literaturrecherche über die Hornhautempfindlichkeit beim Tragen von Kontaktlinsen
Authors: Nosch Daniela S.
Published: April 2024

Purpose: To investigate the effect of contact lens (CL) wear on ocular surface sensitivity and to determine and summarise the relationship between corneal sensitivity and CL comfort. Material and Methods: A literature search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, whereby relevant publications were reviewed and summarised during the period of 13th and 20th November 2023. Results: For the evaluation of the published literature, it is important to acknowledge that corneal sensitivity measurements are influenced by both, the psychophysical technique and the type of instrument used. Study results show a clear but reversible decrease in corneal sensitivity with oxygen-­impermeable polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) contact lens wear, but little or no effect during daily rigid gas permeable (RGP) CL wear. The results for soft CL wear are more complicated: A decrease in corneal sensitivity may be observed during daily wear of hydrogel CLs with low oxygen permeability, however no change or only a small decrease (depending on the applied measurement method) during silicone hydrogel CL wear. Some studies even found a slight sensitisation with this CL material. Conclusion: Based on the published study results, it is reasonable to assume that hypoxia is the most likely cause of the reduction in corneal sensitivity during daily CL wear. Successful CL wear with materials that have a sufficiently high oxygen transmissibility has a negligible effect on corneal sensitivity. However, an increased sensation of irritation, particularly with symptomatic CL wear may be observed. This could be caused by (subclinical) inflammatory reactions.
Orthokeratologie als Behandlungsoption bei nächtlichem Lagophthalmus
Authors: Wyss Michael
Published: April 2024

Purpose: Dry eye is a very common disease in the population with different subjective and objective symptoms. A detailed medical history plays an important role in the determination of the causative factor. This case report describes the treat ment of a patient with nocturnal lagophthalmos by fitting orthokeratology contact lenses. Material and Methods: The dry eye analysis was performed using the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Analysis, Plan) format. The medical history taken using the OSDI (Ocular Surface Disease Index) questionnaire was helpful in this context. In addition, detailed clinical findings were recorded. This was done on the basis of a standardized procedure according to the Dry Eye Workshop (DEWS II) of the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society (TFOS). Based on the morning symptoms and clinical findings, nocturnal lagophthalmos was suspected and orthokeratology contact lenses were fitted for visual and clinical rehabilitation. Results: With orthokeratology the patient was nearly asymp tomatic with a monocular visual acuity of 20/20 per eye. The bulbar conjunctival hyperemia and corneal stainung were sig nificantly reduced and remained stable even after two years. The OSDI score decreased from 89 to 27, which corresponds to moderate dry eye. Conclusion: Patients with clinically normal eyes and subjec tively severe dryness symptoms represent a major challenge in optometric practice. A detailed medical history is important in this context. In this specific case, the morning symptoms were the key to successful treatment of the patient. Ortho keratology can be an interesting method of simultaneously treating two clinical findings in a case of nocturnal lid retrac tion. On the one hand, the contact lens protects the cornea from drying out to a certain degree overnight, and on the other hand, the myopia can be corrected without wearing contact lenses during the day

Published: April 2024

The movement track of agricultural machinery includes not only the field operation track but also the road driving track. Effectively distinguish the operation tracks of field operation and road driving during the driving of agricultural machinery, accurately divide effective operation plots, and accurately evaluate the operation efficiency of agricultural machinery so as to realize remote intelligent management of agricultural machinery. Typical characteristic data was extracted by analyzing attributes of agricultural machinery trajectory points, and a training model established by the method of BP_AdaBoost was used to recognize track points of agricultural machinery. After remarking error-prone track points at the junction of road and field, it was trained again. The correct rate of track recognition was 96.89%. It not only avoided the dependence of traditional clustering algorithms on thresholds and parameters but also effectively solved the problem of mistaking road driving trajectory into field operation trajectory.

Published: April 2024

Society still faces serious environmental and socioeconomic problems, which have only been partially offset by the rapid development of knowledge, information technology, and technology; however, sustainable development remains a goal. This article aims to establish a debate on the contribution of agriculture to sustainable development and to analyze the role of the university in this process. Different alternatives to agricultural production that can contribute to sustainability are critically reviewed. These include good agricultural practices that seek to preserve the environment, including agroecology and organic agriculture, precision agriculture, and some applications of biotechnology. There is currently a need to establish evaluation methods that allow objective identification of progress or setbacks in the quest for sustainability. In the implementation of the concept of sustainable agriculture, universities have an essential role to play as the main source of scientific truth and center of knowledge, without detracting from the legitimacy and value of other epistemic systems such as peasant, traditional, or local knowledge.

Published: April 2024

Objective: The purpose of this study was to select the active fraction of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum) for its antioxidant and antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (AMC 6934), Bacillus subtilis (AMC 7923), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AMC 8973), and Escherichia coli (AMC 5761).
Materials and Methods: A total of 2 kg of dry red ginger rhizome powder was macerated in stages with different levels of solvent polarity to extract the chemical composition within the red ginger powder sample. The extraction process begins with a non-polar solvent (n-hexane) by soaking the red ginger powder sample for 3 × 24 h.
Results: The red ginger extract fractionated with methanol produced alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, and coumarins, while the fractionation using n-hexane produced alkaloids and triterpenoids only. The fractionation with ethyl acetate produced alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins, and coumarins. The antioxidant activity test was 49.261 mg/l for the ethyl acetate fraction, 146.648 mg/l for the methanol fraction, and 300.865 mg/l for the n-hexane fraction.
Conclusion: The ethyl acetate fraction was effectively powerful in inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. All fractions had moderate antibacterial activity; however, the performance of ethyl acetate in the red ginger extract was better than that of methanol and n-hexane.

Published: April 2024

Objective: This study aimed to develop a method for predicting the body weight of beef cattle using meta-analysis based on digital image processing.
Materials and Methods: The meta-analysis process commenced by collecting studies with the keywords “beef cattle,” “correlation,” “digital image,” and “body weight” from Google Scholar and Science Direct. The obtained studies were reviewed papers based on their titles, abstracts, and content, and then categorized by authors, year, country, sample size, and correlation coefficient. A digital image of body measurements used included wither and hip height, chest depth, heart girth, body length, and top view. The statistical analysis was conducted by calculating effect sizes using the correlation coefficient and sample sizes.
Results: The results of the meta-analysis, based on 3,017 cattle from 13 selected studies, showed the highest and lowest correlation coefficients for the top view variable and hip height. Based on cattle breed, significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the wither height variable with correlation coefficients of 0.94, 0.79, and 0.66 for Hanwoo, Holstein, and Simmental, respectively. Based on sex, significant differences (p < 0.05) were seen in the wither height variable, with correlation coefficients of 0.73 for males and 0.90 for females, while for hip height, the values were 0.70 and 0.87, respectively.
Conclusion: In conclusion, to achieve the best accuracy in predicting the body weight of beef cattle based on a digital image, the top view variable can be used. However, for ease of field experimentation, body length or chest depth can also be used while taking breed and sex categories into the model.

Bayesian Estimation of Simultaneous Equation Models with Outliers and Multicollinearity Problem
Authors: Ojo Oluwadare
Published: April 2024

Outliers and multicollinearity are problems in the analysis of Simultaneous Equation Model (SEM) especially in applied research. They can lead to bias or inefficiency of estimators. This study employed a Bayesian technique for estimation of SEM that is characterized with both multicollinearity and outliers. Monte Carlo experiment was applied while the data sets with specified outliers and multicollinearity were simulated for the SEM. The estimates of Bayesian and classical methods namely; two stage Least Squares (2SLS), Three Stage Least Squares (3SLS), Limited Information Maximum Likelihood (LIML) and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) in simultaneous equation model were then compared. The criteria used for comparison were the Mean Square Error (MSE) and Absolute Bias (ABIAS). The Bayesian method of estimation outperformed classical methods in terms of MSE and ABIAS. However, the classical method has the same performance with Bayesian method when there are no outliers and multicollinearity in the simultaneous equation model. Hence, Bayesian method of estimation is preferred than classical method when there is problem of outlier and multicollinearity in a just identified simultaneous equation model.

Published: April 2024

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are vital for navigation. This study compared the productivity and accuracy of surveys using different GNSS constellation combinations: GPS-only, GPS+GLONASS, and GPS+GLONASS+Beidou. Instead of costly RTK receivers, an Android phone with Geo++ RINEX and Locus Map Apps served as the receiver. Precise Point Positioning (PPP) was adopted for accurate positioning without a base station. The study was conducted at Nile University Abuja with ten stations, considering various conditions and obstructions. Data collected from the Geo++ RINEX app were analyzed using RTKLIB. Results were evaluated using RTKLIB and Microsoft Excel for position and altitude accuracy. Position readings were generally accurate, while altitude measurements exhibited disparities. When combining GPS, GLONASS, and Beidou constellations, the maximum and minimum numbers of serving satellites were 32 and 26, respectively. The closest altitude reading had a 1-meter difference, while the highest disparity in altitude measurement reached 20.9 meters.

Authors: Крупник И.А.
Published: April 2024

Сфера профессионального спорта как в России, так и за рубежом традиционно относится к одной из самых закрытых. Причем это можно сказать и о ее правовом регулировании, и особенно о внутренних (корпоративных) правилах, на основе которых решается большинство вопросов, относящихся к данной группе общественных отношений. Вместе с тем само исследуемое направление деятельности человека носит максимально публичный характер, привлекая к себе серьезное внимание значительного числа людей всего земного шара. Имея воспитательный и отчасти политический характер, профессиональный спорт способен оказывать соответствующее влияние как на отдельно взятую личность, так и на массы в целом. Преступления, посягающие на интересы в сфере профессионального спорта, как и любые другие преступные деяния, обладают признаком общественной опасности. В результате проведенного исследования определены факторы, определяющие общественную опасность преступлений в сфере профессионального спорта.

The sphere of professional sports, both in Russia and abroad, is traditionally one of the most closed. Moreover, this applies equally to both its legal regulation and, in particular, to internal (corporate) rules, on the basis of which most issues related to this group of social relations are resolved. At the same time, the area of human activity under study is of the most public nature, attracting the serious attention of a significant number of people around the globe. Having an educational and, partly, political nature, professional sport is capable of exerting a corresponding influence on both an individual and the masses as a whole. Hence, all the divisions occurring in professional sports, which have become accessible to the average person, are capable of influencing entire generations of young athletes, causing a public outcry, and influencing the public consciousness of entire categories of the population not only of the country, but of the world as a whole. In this regard, the study of the social danger of crimes committed in this area should not be limited only to the traditional markers inherent in this category, and can give an appropriate result only if it goes far beyond the usual dogmas.

Приводится статистика, свидетельствующая об увеличении количества фактов реабилитации нацизма, что актуализирует потребность практических органов в криминалистических рекомендациях по раскрытию и расследованию преступлений данного вида. Аргументируется необходимость предметного исследования их криминалистической характеристики, приводится перечень основных ее элементов, дается их описание с опорой на результаты проведенного исследования. Принимаются во внимание выводы авторов, рассматривавших данные аспекты в своих трудах. В числе ключевых элементов проанализированы: личность виновного и мотив совершения преступления, предмет, способ, обстановка, орудия и средства, следы преступления. Рассматриваются характерные примеры из обвинительных приговоров о реабилитации нацизма.

The article draws attention to the lack of legislative fixation of the concept of "Nazism", the views of legal science on this concept are noted. The statistics indicating the increase in the facts of rehabilitation of Nazism is given, which actualizes the need of practical bodies in criminalistic recommendations for the detection and investigation of crimes of this type. The necessity of the subject study of their criminalistic characterization is argued, the list of its main elements is given, their description is given with reference to the results of the conducted research. The conclusions of the authors who considered these aspects in their works are taken into account. Among the key elements analyzed are: the identity of the perpetrator and motive for committing the crime, the object, method, setting, instruments and means, traces of the crime.

Статья посвящена исследованию правомерности совершения участниками оперативно-розыскной деятельности вынужденного преступления и причинения вреда при осуществлении оперативно-розыскного мероприятия «Оперативное внедрение». Поднимается вопрос необходимости должного законодательного обеспечения гарантий безопасности и освобождения от уголовной ответственности лиц, осуществляющих оперативно-розыскную деятельность, а также лиц, оказывающих им конфиденциальное содействие. Рассматривается понятие «оперативный риск» в оперативно-розыскной деятельности, его толкование учеными-правоведами и в правоприменительной практике. Актуальность темы исследования обусловлена тем, что в оперативно-розыскной практике возникают ситуации вынужденного совершения преступлений лицами оказывающими содействие, а также сотрудниками органов внутренних дел при осуществлении оперативно-розыскного мероприятия «Оперативное внедрение». Это считается одним из наиболее проблемных вопросов теории оперативно-розыскной деятельности и практики деятельности оперативных подразделений. В статье проводится сравнительно-правовой анализ норм Уголовного кодекса Российской Федерации и Федерального закона от 12.08.1995 г. № 144-ФЗ «Об оперативно-розыскной деятельности», регулирующих вопросы правового регулирования института освобождения от наказания при решении задач по раскрытию тяжких и особо тяжких преступлений.

The article is devoted to the study of the legality of committing a forced offence and causing harm by the participants of operational-search activity during the implementation of operational-search activity "Operative introduction". The question of the necessity of proper legislative provision of security guarantees and exemption from criminal liability of persons carrying out operational-search activity, as well as persons providing them with confidential assistance is raised. The concept of "operational risk" in operational-search activity, its interpretation by legal scholars and in law enforcement practice is considered. The relevance of the topic of the study is conditioned by the fact that in operational and investigative practice there are situations of forced commission of offences by persons providing assistance, as well as by employees of internal affairs bodies in the implementation of operational and investigative activity "Operative introduction". This is considered one of the most problematic issues of the theory of operational-search activity and practice of operational units. The article provides a comparative legal analysis of the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Federal Law of 12.08.1995, No. 144-FZ "On operative-search activity", regulating the issues of legal regulation of the institute of exemption from punishment, when solving the tasks of solving serious and especially serious crimes.

Protection of transformers is a very challenging problem in power system relaying. Since it is very important to minimize the overcurrent and duration of unwanted outages, this is a high demand imposed on power transformer protective relays. Various relaying principles have been proposed and used to protect transformers against different types of faults. Relays that use over current, over flux and overheating principles protect the transformers against overloads and externally applied conditions. Differential relays protect the transformers against internal fault. In this research, software and hardware of microcontroller-based relay system has been explained and designed. The design implementation and testing of the system are also presented. Today the world is facing the most critical problem of not getting the sufficient power. In many countries including India, people are not getting their primary need of electricity because people are consuming more power than the given limit of the sanctioned load given by MSCBE. Instead, we can use available power in such a way that the specific user will only use the power which is allocated to the user according to the limit of sanctioned load provided by MSCBE. A properly installed and configured monitoring system is a valuable advantage to almost any type of energy consumer. Energy consumers have a wide variety of considerations and concerns where energy usage is involved. Key Words: PLC

During their life, among 8% of women are diagnosed with Breast cancer (BC), after lung cancer, BC is the second popular cause of death in both developed and undeveloped worlds. BC is characterized by the mutation of genes, constant pain, changes in the size, color(redness), skin texture of breasts. Classification of breast cancer leads pathologists to find a systematic and objective prognostic, generally the most frequent classification is binary (benign cancer/malign cancer). Today, Machine Learning (ML) techniques are being broadly used in the breast cancer classification problem. They provide high classification accuracy and effective diagnostic capabilities. In this system, we present two different classifiers: Decision tree and logistic regression for breast cancer classification. We propose a comparison between the two new implementations and evaluate their accuracy using cross validation.
