Authors: Aung Thet Thet
Published: November 2023

The Face recognition system mentioned is a computer vision and image processing application designed to carry out two primary functions: identifying and verifying a person from an image or a video database. The objective of this research is to provide a more efficient and effective alternative to traditional manual management systems. It can be used in offices, schools, and organizations where security is critical. In the proposed system, initially, all students enrolled in the Academic Year whose information is stored in a database server and released a unique ID Card with their facial image to be a smart campus. The main objective of the proposed system is to automate the time-in, and time-out of students, teachers, staff, and anyone who enters and leaves the campus of the University of Computer Studies, Hinthada (UCSH). This system is implemented with the 405 students in the 2022-2023 Academic Year, 86 permanent staff including the principal whose ID card (Name, Year, Roll No, NRC, Father Name: for students, Name, Rank, Department, NRC, Address: for teachers and staffs). As soon as someone enters the campus of a university, the ID card is scanned, the images of the ID card are captured and the face onthe card will be matched with the faces in the trained dataset to detect by using the Haar cascade classifier, and recognize the face using Local Binary Pattern LBPH algorithm. The proposed system demonstrates strong performance, achieving an accuracy rate of over 90% for everyone entering the campus. It is both effective and efficient, providing a smart solution for identification.
PAPR, Spectral Efficiency, BER and SNR Analysis of OFDM: A Novel Partial Transmit Sequence-Particle Swarm Optimization Technique
Authors: Vaigandla Karthik Kumar , Siddoju Ranjith Kumar , Vanteru Madhu Kumar , Devsingh Malothu , Prasad Dudimetla
Published: November 2023

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a widely used multicarrier modulation (MCM) technique in the field of wireless communications, specifically designed to facilitate high-speed data transmission. The use of several subcarriers inside an OFDM system for the transmission of modulated symbols results in the generation of OFDM signals with a significant peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In this study, we propose a novel approach for mitigating the high PAPR in wireless communication systems (WCS). Our method utilizes a partial transmit sequence (PTS) strategy, which is enhanced by using an adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. In this study, we present a description of an OFDM system employing the standard PTS technique in conjunction with PSO. To mitigate computational complexity, the suggested methodology efficiently explores the optimal amalgamation of phase rotation components. Experimental findings demonstrate that the computational complexity and PAPR have been greatly minimized by the suggested method.

Omni-Modeler: Rapid Adaptive Visual Recognition with Dynamic Learning
Authors: Karnes Michael , Yilmaz Alper
Published: November 2023

Deep neural network (DNN) image classification has grown rapidly as a general pattern detection tool for an extremely diverse set of applications; yet dataset accessibility remains a major limiting factor for many applications. This paper presents a novel dynamic learning approach to leverage pretrained knowledge to novel image spaces in the effort to extend the algorithm knowledge domain and reduce dataset collection requirements. The proposed Omni-Modeler generates a dynamic knowledge set by reshaping known concepts to create dynamic representation models of unknown concepts. The Omni-Modeler embeds images with a pretrained DNN and formulates compressed language encoder. The language encoded feature space is then used to rapidly generate a dynamic dictionary of concept appearance models. The results of this study demonstrate the Omni-Modeler capability to rapidly adapt across a range of image types enabling the usage of dynamically learning image classification with limited data availability.

Published: November 2023

En el ámbito del régimen jurídico de la Seguridad Social la familia, y dentro de este concepto los subconjuntos de «familia de hecho» y «familia matrimonial» son contemplados en numerosas situaciones y con efectos diversos. Al referirnos a la «familia de hecho» lo hacemos habitualmente en este sentido de subconjunto del hecho familia y opuesto a «familia matrimonial»; es evidente que esta última también es una familia de hecho pero, para aclararnos, atribuimos a esta denominación el significado antedicho de familia jurídicamente informalizada; también es claro que unas mismas personas pueden pertenecer a la vez a los dos subconjuntos (por ejemplo, tío y sobrina, o cuñados que sean pareja de hecho) por lo que se trata de dos subconjuntos conceptualmente distintos, no personalmente incompatibles.

Authors: Tominaga Flavio , Leo Patricia , Ivone Borrely Sueli
Published: November 2023

Pharmaceuticals have drawn attention due to the potential of causing negative impacts on the population and ecosystems at ecological relevant concentrations. Among these contaminants, acetylsalicylic acid is a drug widely used in human medicine as an analgesic, antipyretic and in actively preventing blood platelet aggregation, which has been introduced into the environment continuously. Several technologies have been proposed for the removal of contaminants. Electron beam irradiation (EBI) has been applied as an alternative and clean technology for pollutant removal. Nevertheless, after any type of treatment there may occur the formation of more toxic byproducts, which may be detected by biological assays. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast consists in simple eukaryotic model, widely used for the assessment of toxic effects on human cells and tissues. This work aims the toxicity assessment of treated acetylsalicylic aqueous solutions by EBI employing Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Toxicity assays were performed with S. cerevisiae and the results were compared to others aquatic organisms (Vibrio fischeri bioluminescent bacteria and Daphnia similis microcrustacean). The results showed low sensibility to the yeast when exposed to the anti-inflammatory, demonstrating an EC5030min of 815 mg L-1, when compared with the bioluminescent bacteria (EC5015min = 38.48 mg L-1) and the microcrustacean (EC5048h = 86.05 mg L-1). Due to low acute toxicity, chronic assays were also performed with D. similis, demonstrating a NOEC14days of 2.5 mg L-1. Based on these results, toxicity data from chronic assays was utilized for PNEC estimation, and the highest concentration detected in Brazilian surface water was used to evaluate the worst-case scenario. The calculated risk quotient indicated a possible risk of acetylsalicylic acid to aquatic biota. After EBI treatment, increase in toxicity have been noted for all the evaluated organisms, indicating sensibility of the evaluated organism.  This work demonstrated the feasibility of employing toxicity assays with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast.

Authors: Muñoz Doncel Marta , Ruiz Quintero Elena , Pérez Ardanaz Bibiana
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Childhood obesity is one of the most prevalent noncommunicable diseases in our country, and according to the 2019 ALADINO study, it affects 17.3% of Spanish children. The World Health Organization establishes that this problem is fundamentally due to a lifestyle based on a sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits, which are in turn related to an increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods. It is affirmed that interventions on nutrition and physical activity in the school environment imply improvements in the change of these habits in the child population, in addition to interventions on their closest environment, such as their relatives. Objective: To develop an educational program that allows establishing a healthy and balanced diet in children in the 6th grade of primary school, through basic knowledge about nutrition. Methodology: The target population will include both students enrolled in the 6th grade of primary school and their families and teaching staff of the center. A total of 6 training sessions, theoretical and practical, will be held on healthy eating and physical activity for students, and 1 session for families and teaching staff of the center. Conclusions: With the application of the program, positive changes are expected to be achieved both in the improvement of health-related habits and in the acquisition of knowledge about healthy eating.
The Rich Earth between Us: The Intimate Grounds of Race and Sexuality in the Atlantic World, 1770–1840
Authors: Johnson Shelby
Published: November 2023

In this theory-rich study, Shelby Johnson analyzes the works of Black and Indigenous writers in the Atlantic World, examining how their literary production informs “modes of being” that confronted violent colonial times. Johnson particularly assesses how these authors connected to places—whether real or imagined—and how those connections enabled them to make worlds in spite of the violence of slavery and settler colonialism. Johnson engages with works written in a period engulfed by the extraordinary political and social upheavals of the Age of Revolution and Indian Removal, and these texts—which include not only sermons, life writing, and periodicals but also descriptions of embodied and oral knowledge, as well as material objects—register defiance to land removal and other forms of violence. In studying writers of color during this era, Johnson probes the histories of their lived environment and of the earth itself—its limits, its finite resources, and its metaphoric mortality—in a way that offers new insights on what it means to imagine sustainable connections to the ground on which we walk.
The Sandinista Revolution: A Global Latin American History
Authors: Jarquín Mateo
Published: November 2023

The Sandinista Revolution and its victory against the Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua gripped the United States and the world in the 1980s. But as soon as the Sandinistas were voted out of power in 1990 and the Iran Contra affair ceased to make headlines, it became, in Washington at least, a thing of the past. Mateo Jarquín recenters the revolution as a major episode in the history of Latin America, the international left, and the Cold War. Drawing on research in Nicaragua, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica, he recreates the perspective of Sandinista leaders in Managua and argues that their revolutionary project must be understood in international context. Because struggles over the Revolution unfolded transnationally, the Nicaraguan drama had lasting consequences for Latin American politics at a critical juncture. It also reverberated in Western Europe, among socialists worldwide, and beyond, illuminating global dynamics like the spread of democracy and the demise of a bipolar world dominated by two superpowers. Jarquín offers a sweeping analysis of the last left-wing revolution of the twentieth century, an overview of inter-American affairs in the 1980s, and an incisive look at the making of the post–Cold War order.

ALVEOLOPLASTIA COMO ALTERNATIVA PARA REGULARIZAÇÃO DO REBORDO ALVEOLAR PREVIAMENTE À REABILITAÇÃO PROTÉTICA: UM RELATO DE CASO CLÍNICO
Authors: Santiago Ellen Costa , Oliveira Neto Hélio Simões de
Published: November 2023

A alveoloplastia é uma técnica cirúrgica que objetiva regularização de defeitos e/ou desníveis ósseos no rebordo alveolar que possam dificultar adaptação protética, o que a torna uma estratégia eficaz para garantir adaptação adequada da prótese e melhora do prognóstico da reabilitação. A relevância deste relato de caso reside na inexorabilidade da remodelação óssea frente à perda do elemento dentário. Assim, o objetivo foi demostrar a viabilidade do procedimento cirúrgico de alveoloplastia, como possibilidade de regularização dos defeitos no rebordo alveolar, por meio de um caso clínico de uma paciente do sexo feminino, de 83 anos, que foi realizado em ambiente ambulatorial sob anestesia local e com o mínimo de invasividade possível sem, contudo, reduzir a eficiência da técnica cirúrgica em questão. A partir dos resultados obtidos com o procedimento e ao revisar a literatura que versa sobre a técnica proposta, pode-se inferir que a técnica de alveoloplastia é uma proposta viável para a regularização do rebordo com finalidade protética

Published: November 2023

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar de que maneira garantir que o valor da causa seja corretamente estabelecido na petição inicial, de modo a evitar a extinção do processo sem julgamento do mérito ou a correção de ofício pelo juiz, e, ao mesmo tempo, assegurar que a causa de pedir e o objeto da ação não sejam prejudicados pela eventual correção do valor da causa. A metodologia adotada nesta pesquisa foi a de caráter bibliográfico, por meio da revisão da literatura existente sobre o tema em questão. Foi possível concluir que o valor da causa é um requisito essencial da petição inicial, que deve ser fixado com precisão e observância aos critérios legais. A sua incorreção pode acarretar em prejuízos financeiros e emocionais para as partes envolvidas, bem como em um maior congestionamento do Judiciário. No entanto, a correção do valor da causa não é uma tarefa fácil, uma vez que envolve questões técnicas e práticas do cotidiano dos advogados.

Abstract. On April 16, 2022, China has successfully launched the world's first space-borne high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL), which is called the Aerosol Carbon Detection Lidar (ACDL) onboard the DQ-1 satellite. The ACDL is expected to precisely detect the three-dimensional distribution of aerosol and cloud globally with high spatial-temporal resolutions. To assess the performance of the newly launched satellite lidar, the ACDL retrieved observations were compared with ground-based lidar measurements of atmospheric aerosol and cloud over northwest China from May to July 2022 by the exploitation of the Belt and Road lidar network (BR-lidarnet) initiated by Lanzhou University of China, as well as CALIPSO lidar observations. A total of six cases at daytime and nighttime, including clear days, dust events, and cloudy conditions, were selected for further analysis. Moreover, profiles of total attenuated backscatter coefficient (TABC) and volume depolarization ratio (VDR) at 532 nm measured by the ACDL, CALIPSO lidar and ground-based lidar are compared in detail. Comparison between the 532 nm extinction coefficient and lidar ratio obtained from ACDL HSRL retrieval and the Raman retrieval results obtained from BR-lidarnet. The achieved results revealed that the ACDL observations were in good agreement with the ground-based lidar measurements during dust events with a relative deviation of about -10.5 ± 25.4 % for the TABC and -6.0 ± 38.5 % for the VDR. Additionally, the heights of cloud top and bottom from these two measurements were well matched and comparable. Compared with the observation of CALIPSO, it also shows high consistency. This study proves that the ACDL provides reliable observations of aerosol and cloud in the presence of various climatic conditions, which helps to further evaluate the impacts of aerosol on climate and environment as well as the ecosystem in the future.

Abstract. In this study, we utilized a high-resolution (4 km) convection-permitting Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) simulation spanning a 13-year period (2000–2013) to investigate the climatological features of Low-level Jets (LLJs) over North America. The 4-km simulation enabled us to represent the effects of orography and the underlying surface on the boundary layer winds better. Focusing on the continental US and the adjacent border regions of Canada and Mexico, this study characterizes the spatial distribution, seasonal patterns, and diurnal fluctuations of northerly/southerly LLJ occurrence frequencies. This paper not only identified several well-known large-scale LLJs in North America, such as the southerly Great Plains LLJ and the summer northerly California coastal LLJ, but also the Quebec northerly LLJ, which gets less focus before. Moreover, the high-resolution simulation revealed climatic characteristics of weaker and smaller-scale LLJs or low-level wind maxima in regions with complex terrains, such as the northerly LLJs in the foothill regions of the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian during the winter. Additionally, the different thermal and dynamic mechanisms forming significant LLJs near the Great Plains, California, and Quebec are investigated. This study provides valuable insights into the climatological features of LLJs in North America and the high-resolution simulation offers a more detailed understanding of LLJ behavior near complex terrains and other smaller-scale features.

Abstract. Fluvial transport of organic carbon from the terrestrial biosphere to the oceans is an important term in the global carbon cycle. Traditionally, the long-term burial flux of fluvial particulate organic carbon (POC) is estimated using river suspended sediment flux; however, organic carbon can also travel in river bedload as coarse particulate organic matter (POMBed). Estimates of fluvial POC export to the ocean are highly uncertain because few studies document POMbed sources, flux and evolution during long-range fluvial transport from uplands to ocean basins. This knowledge gap limits our ability to determine the global terrestrial organic carbon burial flux. In this study we investigate the flux, sources and transformations of POMBed during fluvial transport over a ~1300 km long reach of the Rio Bermejo, Argentina, which has no tributary inputs. To constrain sourcing of POMBed, we analysed the composition and stable hydrogen and carbon isotope ratios (δ2H, δ13C) of plant wax biomarkers from POMBed at six locations along the Rio Bermejo, and compared this to samples of suspended sediment, soil, leaf litter and floating organic debris (POMfloat) from both the lowland and headwater river system. Across all samples, we found no discernible differences in n-alkane average chain length or nC29 δ13C values, indicating a common origin for all sampled POMBed. Leaf litter and POMfloat nC29 δ2H values decrease with elevation, making it a useful proxy for POMBed source elevation. Biomarker δ2H values suggest that POMBed is a mix of distally-derived headwater and locally-recruited floodplain sources at all sampling locations. These results indicate that POMBed can be preserved during transport through lowland rivers for hundreds of kilometres. However, the POMBed flux decreases with increasing transport distance, suggesting mechanical comminution of these coarse organic particles, and progressive transfer into the suspended load. Our provisional estimates suggest that the carbon flux from POMBed comprises less than 1 percent of the suspended load POC flux in the Rio Bermejo. While this represents a small portion of the river POC flux, this coarse and high density material likely has a higher probability of deposition and burial in sedimentary basins, potentially allowing it to be more effective in long-term CO2 drawdown relative to fine suspended particles. Because the rate and ratio of POMBed transport versus comminution likely varies across tectonic and climatic settings, additional research is needed to determine the importance of POMBed in the global carbon cycle.
