Living Arrangements of Older Persons: Analysis of the Activities of Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation
Authors: Sedykh Olga
Published: January 2022

The growth of the number of older persons makes it necessary to create decent favourable conditions for their lives and activities, which contributes to forming the basis for their active longevity. Nowadays, in order to solve this kind of problems, an alternative form of social service, a «foster family for older persons» is widespread in many constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Legal relations in a foster family are regulated by the rules of different branches of law. The leading role is played by the legal framework of the constituent entities. Meanwhile, one can observe a lack of consistency in defining terms and notions, as there is no legal definition of a «foster family for an older person» in the federal legislation. The purpose of the research is to establish regional similarity in documents and to find possible solutions of the problems that arise when implementing this kind of social assistance in the Irkutsk region. The content analysis conducted by the author allowed her to study the regulatory framework of the activities of foster families for older persons; to consider the options for naming the alternative form of service and its main notions; assess social demographic characteristics of people that create a foster family; to define the main conditions for creating a foster family. According to the results of the research, key directions of the activities, aimed at improving regional regulatory legal acts, are identified, organizational events, aimed at providing a possibility for older persons to stay in habitual family conditions as long as possible, are programmed. The obtained conclusions can be used to formulate regulations of the federal legislation on foster families for older persons and other regulatory legal acts and methodological documents of both federal and regional levels, which, in the future, could reduce the number of problems that arise when implementing this kind of social assistance for older persons in constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
The Image of the Yellow (Huang He) River in Chinese Painting
Authors: Huang Yuanpeng , Alekseeva Galina
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the creative works of artists who have created pictures of life of the people living along the Yellow (Huang He) River in all nine regions of China. The Huang He River, as the main artery of the country, has long been the subject of study by historians, writers and painters. However, contemporary artists who dedicated their works to the river have not been researched. This work examines the collective image of the Huang He River in the works of Chinese artists from the 1980s to the present day in order to get acquainted with its peculiarities. The methodological basis for the study of contemporary art is the historical and cultural and socio-cultural approaches. The methods of historical-comparative and sociological analysis of art, biographical and iconographic analysis, semiotics and hermeneutics methods are used. For the first time the features of oil painting in different regions along the Huang He River are presented: the geomorphological characteristics, national characters and folk customs in the river basin, and the cultural protection function of painting. The names of a number of Chinese artists have been introduced into Russian art history, and the panorama of the development of painting in the works of Chinese masters painting on the Huang He River has been shown. The works of these artists are correlated with the traditional art and religious ideas of the people living along the Huang He River: the role of created paintings in preserving the cultural code of the inhabitants through the portrayal of national costume, folk and religious holidays is traced. The results can serve as a basis for historical and comparative studies of the artworks of Chinese masters and become the basis for courses on the history of Chinese art.
Constitutional Principle of Social Solidarity as a Basis for the Consolidation of the Russian Society and States
Authors: Leonova Svetlana
Published: January 2022

The current circumstances related to the Covid-19 pandemic, which the entire world community had to face, raised sharply the question of mutual responsibility of the society and the state. At the same time, restrictions imposed at the state level are most often assessed by citizens as excessive. As a result, the number of studies devoted to establishing the legitimacy of restricting human rights and freedoms in the conditions of the epidemic is growing, however, such a phenomenon as social solidarity remains practically ignored. It is social solidarity, understood as the cohesion of the society (not only in the face of common threats and challenges), that can become the basis for constructive interaction between the society and the state. The aim of the study was the legal understanding of social solidarity as a new constitutional principle of the Russian state, which presupposes the possibility of establishing permissible restrictions on individual rights and freedoms in the conditions of protecting the foundations of the constitutional state from the modern threats. The absence of a normative definition of social solidarity in the current legislation of Russia, despite the constitutional reform carried out in 2020, entails difficulties in the correct interpretation of this phenomenon. The use of both general scientific and special methods of cognition of socio-legal phenomena — the formal legal method and the method of legal modeling — made it possible to see in social solidarity not only the legal structure, but also the leading moral and ethical principle of interaction between the society and the state. The analysis of the domestic legal acts made it possible to conclude that the constitutional principle of social cohesion of the society and the state in the face of various threats with the observance of such elements as the rule of law, the constitutional provision of individual rights and freedoms and the conditions for their permissible restriction is the basis for the inviolability of the state and its constitutional system.
Observaciones al enfoque por competencias y su relación con la calidad educativa
Authors: Bueno Chuchuca Geovanny Fabián
Published: January 2022

Este trabajo analiza la relación entre competencias y calidad educativa, para conocer el contexto en el cualemergen, sus características y el sentido de esta relación; donde a partir de la revisión bibliográfica se desvelan posturas que denotan una tendencia al mercado laboral, por ello se plantea la pregunta si es posible otra relación entre ellas. La metodología empleada es la hermenéutica documental, la interpretación de textos con un enfoque analítico-crítico. Entre los principales resultados se tiene que el concepto de competencia es adaptable a cualquier disciplina, enfoque, tendencia o motivaciones, siendo su principal característica el sentido instrumental que posee, por ello en el contexto educativo hay que interpretar las intenciones que están detrás de su práctica, teniendo presente que organismos internacionales juegan un papel político e influyente en los distintos modelos que han llegado a plantearse. Como principales conclusiones, se postula que el enfoque por competencias y la consecución de la calidad son una respuesta natural del contexto para una mayor productividad en la burocratización de las instituciones sociales, siendo la educación dirigida a estos parámetros; por ello se propone adoptar un modelo de calidad como transformación de los sujetos más allá de una calidad como finalidad de rendición de cuentas, estoresultaría en un cambio en las tendencias evaluativas en la relación competencias-calidad.
Ensaio sobre a geração distribuída de energia fotovoltaica: um modelo sustentável para a matriz energética brasileira
Authors: Costa Carolina Carrijo , Garrefa Fernando
Published: January 2022

Energia elétrica se tornou um recurso essencial para a manutenção das dinâmicas econômicas e sociais. A ampliação e difusão do uso de equipamentos e processos mecanizados, bem como a adesão a modos de vida mais dependentes dessas comodidades têm contribuído para a ampliação sucessiva dos gastos energéticos. Por outro lado, a geração de energia elétrica, a partir de finais do século XX passou a vivenciar entraves, principalmente a partir das preocupações ambientais. No Brasil, as grandes plantas energéticas envolvem importantes impactos ambientais, como desmatamento, deslocamento de comunidades tradicionais, desequilíbrio das relações ecológicas, efluentes que alteram a qualidade da água, ar e solo e causam danos à saúde humana.  A partir dessas premissas, o trabalho analisa relatórios nacionais e os coteja com revisão bibliográfica para explorar a possibilidade de uma expansão energética alternativa baseada em microgeração distribuída (GD) através da implantação de painéis solares em residências, industriais e estabelecimentos de comércio e serviço. A GD se torna interessante ao evitar não só as gerações em grande escala, mas também a onerosa distribuição de energia por grandes linhas de transmissão. Além disso, o sistema se mostrou altamente aplicável no país devido ao grande potencial fotovoltaico, à facilidade de instalação, aos baixos impactos ambientais e ao payback a partir de 5 anos. Por fim, considera-se que a GD é uma boa estratégia de transição, que permite a inserção gradual de energias mais limpas no sistema e pode ser implantada com certa facilidade desde que apoiada pelo poder público, privado e das concessionárias.
Modular automated bottom-up proteomic sample preparation for high-throughput applications v2

Published: January 2022

Manual proteomic sample preparation methods limit sample throughput and often lead to poor data quality when thousands of samples must be analyzed. Automated workflows are increasingly used to overcome these issues for some (or even all) of the sample preparation steps. Here, we detail three optimised step-by-step protocols to: (A) lyse Gram-negative bacteria and fungal cells; (B) quantify the amount of protein extracted; and (C) normalize the amount of protein and set up tryptic digestion. These protocols have been developed to facilitate rapid, low variance sample preparation of hundreds of samples, be easily implemented on widely-available Beckman-Coulter Biomek automated liquid handlers, and allow flexibility for future protocol development. By using this workflow 50 micrograms of peptides for 96 samples can be prepared for tryptic digestion in under an hour. We validate these protocols by analyzing 47 E. coli and R. toruloides samples and show that this modular workflow provides robust, reproducible proteomic samples for high-throughput applications. The expected results from these protocols are 94 peptide samples from Gram-negative bacterial and fungal cells prepared for bottom-up quantitative proteomic analysis without the need for desalting column cleanup and with peptide variance (CVs) below 15%.

An attempt of creating new museum narratives by the example of the exhibition project «Shevchenko by the urban tongue»
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Zubar Mykhailo , Mahdych Oleh ,   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv
Published: January 2022

Taras Shevchenko is one of the most researched and discussed figures in Ukrainian society. In each historical period receptions and assessments around Shevchenko` personality differentiates, depending on the public circumstances or prevailing trends in humanitarian discourse. These perceptions swayed between positive and critical judgment. Authors identified several key perceptions of Shevchenko in Ukrainian public space, for instance, «national hero», «father of the nation», «poet», «revolutionary democrat». In their opinion, modern Ukraine still faces the search for Shevchenko` new image. New forms of public honour (commemoration) are being developed, including through museum exhibition projects. Authors also analyze the significance of the museum narrative expositions and exhibitions for the creation of new public images, giving the example of the exhibition project «Shevchenko by the urban tongue», which took place in the Taras Shevchenko national museum from November 4th to January 31th in 2021. Curators attempted to explore how personal experience in the city changed due to the process of urbanization from the XIX-th century and how the urban space influenced the shaping of the Taras Shevchenko figure. Specifically, in the XIX-th century, cities ultimately transformed into an environment, which created trends, emphases of the global public development that influenced Shevchenko, since exactly in the city he gained domestic freedom, profession and widened his social circle. The city gave him a sense of understanding of the culture, its influence and importance not only for consumer purposes or acceptance but also for the creation of new meanings. According to the authors, this approach allows us to better understand the significance of Taras Shevchenko, his connection to modern Ukrainian realities and world context.

Published: January 2022

It was found that syringomyelic patients and clinically healthy people out of the families with MRT-features of Chiari malformation, type I, had a confident decrease of depth and square of posterior cranial fossa. Relatives of patients, having no signs of Chiari malformation, type I, had the same changes as well. There was made a conclusion about presence of posterior cranial fossa hypoplasia in all patients with hereditary syryngomyelia and in members of their families, both having MRT-features of Chiari malformation type I, and having no malformation. It was supposed that posterior cranial fossa hypoplasia is a neurovisual reflection of its hereditary phonotype, and the latter in some cases leads to cerebellar tonsil ptosis, and if there are some endogenic and exogenic factors to development of family syringomyelia.

Published: January 2022

Changes of caused potentials at hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome have been studied, as well as correlation of these indices to EEG data. Mathematical and statistical analysis of EEG parameters and caused potentials in convalescents after HFRS showed significant deviations in brain bioelectric activity; these deviations being characterized by a considerable decrease of amplitude characteristics of the EEG basic rhythms with a tendency to rhythm frequency lowering practically in all cerebral cortex regions, prolongation of latent periods and decrease of caused potentials amplitude. Changes in visual caused potentials can indicate to the cerebral demyelinization process. This correlation analysis has revealed an interchange between different electrophysiologic characteristics.
Symptomatic therapy for spasticity
Authors: Тахавиева F. V. , Bogdanov E. I.
Published: January 2022

Spasticity is a violation of muscle tone that occurs with central paralysis, is characterized by an increase in tonic stretch reflexes, is associated with an increase in tendon reflexes and other signs of damage to the central motor neuron [19, 22]. A large number of works are devoted to the mechanisms of its formation and clinical phenomenology in various diseases accompanied by damage to the central motor neurons [11, 19, 21, 22, 25]. It is known that spasticity is not the result of a violation of any one system - the spinal or cerebral, or one neurophysiological mechanism, but is caused by presynaptic disinhibition of GABAergic 1A terminals, a decrease in glycerinergic reciprocal inhibition, hyperexcitable depressive alpha motoneurons, 1 glycerinergic inhibition [14, 25]. Since spasticity cannot be explained by any one type of pathophysiological disorder and includes changes in both pre- and postsynaptic inhibition, it is difficult to develop an effective treatment for it. However, there are certain drugs, surgical manipulations, methods of restorative treatment, which, to one degree or another, reduce the manifestations of spasticity. Before starting such treatment, it is necessary to analyze all the facts in the clinical picture of a particular patient. First, it is necessary to decide whether the spasticity is sufficiently pronounced and whether this justifies the conduct of special therapy. Secondly, one should differentiate between true spasticity and changes in the mechanical properties of muscles. Finally, it is known that the severity of spasticity can be aggravated by various factors, both external (eg cold) and internal (eg, bladder infection or excitement) [14].

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: The difficulties or gross disturbance in motor development, which are diagnosed in children at an early age, are one of the prognostic markers of further problems in their speech development.
AIM: This study aimed to determine the speech development of children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita with upper limb deformities.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Speech examination was conducted in 21 children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita preschool age (average age: 5.16 1.49 years) from 2020 to 2021. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (10 people) with children of younger and middle preschool age (average age 3.81 0.63 years) and group 2 (11 people) with children of older and preparatory preschool age (average age 6.39 0.78 years). The speech examination results were exposed to statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The majority of children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita had speech pathology (90.5%), whereas general speech underdevelopment dominated over speech development delay (78.9% and 21.1%, respectively). A high frequency of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (80.9%), a complicated perinatal anamnesis (57.1%), and a delay in early motor or speech development (100% and 52.4%, respectively) links with speech disorder development in the future. Patients with arthrogryposis have a large percentage of congenital pathology of the articulatory apparatus structure (57.1%). Of the children, 76.2% were with a total form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, whereas 23.8% with an isolated upper extremity lesion. No statistically significant differences were determined in the form of speech pathology between patients with various forms of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. Children of the first age group had speech disorders in 90% of cases, whereas 90.9% in group 2. Based on the form of speech pathology, patients with general speech underdevelopment and speech development delay were determined in group 1 (55.6% and 44.4%, respectively), whereas children with general speech underdevelopment in group 2 (100%). In the clinical form of speech pathology, dysarthria prevailed in children of both age groups (80%).
CONCLUSIONS: Children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita with upper limb deformities have a high incidence of speech disorders. Early speech examination and speech therapy eliminated all detected disturbances.
Management of Missed Traumatic Achilles Tendon Rupture in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
Authors: Andaloussi Saad
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Missed traumatic Achilles tendon ruptures in children are rarely reported in the literature. Various techniques have been described to reconstruct delayed Achilles tendon ruptures for adults, but the long-term consequences in the growing child are unknown.
CLINICAL CASE: The article presents a clinical observation of a 8-year-old girl with missed rupture of the Achilles tendon operated 7 weeks after the trauma by end-to-end Kessler-type sutures augmented with the plantaris tendon. At 2-year follow-up, the patient was completely asymptomatic.
DISCUSSION: A review of the literature shows that this is the third neglected pediatric case of post-traumatic Achilles tendon rupture. The first case concerns a 10-year-old boy treated successfully six weeks after the traumat by open surgical repair using the Bunnell sutures technique. The second patient was a 7-year-old girl, she was operated 8 weeks after the trauma with a termino-terminal tenorrhaphy using the Bunnell technique augmented with the plantaris tendon.
CONCLUSIONS: Using the plantaris tendon to reinforce the Achilles tendon repair offers satisfactory results with minimal morbidity. Prognosis depends on the extent of tendon defect which determines the long-term functional outcome. Any skin wound that sits on the back of the leg requires a systematic and careful physical examination to check the integrity of the Achilles tendon.
Scaphocapitate fracture syndrome in a child
Authors: Wircker Patrícia , Alves da Silva Teresa , Dias Rafael
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Scaphocapitate fracture syndrome involves transverse fracture of the scaphoid and capitate, with rotation of 90 or 180 of the proximal fragment of the capitate, commonly associated with other carpal lesions. It is a rare wrist injury, usually occurs in young men and is exceptional in children. The exact mechanism remains controversial. The injury is often misdiagnosed as a simple scaphoid fracture and there has been a controversy about the treatment of the capitate fracture in this syndrome.
CLINICAL CASE: The authors report a rare case of a scaphocapitate syndrome in a 15-year-old boy. Early open reduction of both fractures was performed. It was obtained a good mobility, with a normal grip strength and the radiographs showed union of both bones without avascular necrosis.
DISCUSSION: Most authors agree that regardless of the radiographic appearance of the injury, open reduction and internal fixation is the treatment of choice. The dorsal approach is the most used. The capitate fragment is usually devoid of any soft tissues and is reduced relatively easy with manual pressure, by applying traction to the hand. Reduction and fixation of the capitate must precede that of the scaphoid. K-wires or headless screws may be placed from the proximal to the distal side for the fixation of the scaphoid and capitate. The evolution is marked by the risk of occurrence of head capitate avascular necrosis
CONCLUSIONS: This case report illustrates that the scaphocapitate syndrome can occur in children and is important an early diagnosis to initiate timely treatment. Our patient was successfully treated with open reduction and fixation using K-wires.

Authors: Garkavenko Yuriy E. , Pozdeev Alexander P. , Kriukova Irina A.
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Torticollis is a common term for abnormal head or neck positions. Torticollis can be due to a wide variety of pathological processes, from relatively benign to life-threatening. This syndrome is of particular relevance in pediatric practice and is often underestimated at the primary care level. AIM: To analyze the data of domestic and foreign literature on the etiopathogenesis and clinical features of various types of torticollis in children and develop algorithms for the differential diagnosis of torticollis in children of younger age groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature search was conducted in the open information databases of eLIBRARY and Pubmed using the keywords and phrases: torticollis, congenital muscular torticollis, non-muscular torticollis, acquired torticollis, and neurogenic torticollis, without limiting the depth of retrospection. RESULTS: Based on the literature data generalization, the classification of torticollis and the key directions of its differential diagnosis are systematized in tabular form. The range of differential diagnosis of torticollis is quite wide and has its characteristics in newborns and children of the first years of life, contrary to older children. The most common is congenital muscular torticollis. Concurrently, non-muscular forms of torticollis in the aggregate are not uncommon, more often with a more serious etiology, and require careful examination. Based on the analyzed literature, differential algorithms for torticollis diagnosis in children of younger age groups have been compiled. CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the level of the knowledge of pediatric clinicians in the etiopathogenesis of torticollis syndrome will improve the efficiency of early diagnosis of dangerous diseases that lead to pathological head and neck positions in children.

Published: January 2022

This paper aims to examine participation banks’ herd behavior in their lending decisions in Turkey. Herding was analyzed by using the Lakonishock, Shleifer and Vishny (LSV) and Frey, Herbst and Walter (FHW) herding measures during the period from 2010 to 2020. The study allows to calculate the LSV and FHW measures for loans outstanding to eight different industries, as well. The results provided an evidence of significant herding in participation banks’ lending decisions during the entire sample. On the other hand, banks’ lending decisions tend to be affected more, in particular, during fluctuations in the market and wholesale trade&brokerage and construction industries are dominant borrowers under these uncertain conditions.

Despejando incógnitas sobre "El clavo" (1853) de Pedro Antonio de Alarcón (1833-1891): relato policiaco o novela romántica
Authors: Cantero García Víctor
Published: January 2022

La presente colaboración pretende arrojar luz sobre una polémica que hasta la fecha mantiene abierta la crítica literaria: ¿es El clavo (1853), de Pedro Antonio de Alarcón un relato policiaco que sigue las huellas de Edgar Allan Poe, como inventor del género, o más bien es una novela romántica al uso? A través de un completo análisis contrastivo entre el texto alarconiano y Los crímenes de la calle Morgue (1841), de Poe, llegamos a la conclusión de que Alarcón no sigue las pautas marcadas por Poe, pues el protagonista del texto del guadijeño no recurre al “discurso de la racionalidad” ni al método deductivo para hallar la solución al crimen relatado.Nuestro estudio deja claro que el detective C. Auguste Dupin mantiene en vilo al lector con el suspense y la intriga que emanan de sus actuaciones, mientras que el juez Zarco antepone los asuntos sentimentales a la investigación detectivesca.
Propuesta metodológica para la caracterización y tipificación de las costas españolas. Aplicación a las costas de Galicia.
Authors: Pérez-Alberti Augusto
Published: January 2022

Hay varias clasificaciones costeras. La mayoría de ellas han sido elaboradas a nivel mundial utilizando criterios tectónicos, climáticos, topográficos u oceanográficos. Otras clasificaciones han sido elaboradas a mayor escala y han sido enfocadas a catalogar las formas costeras: acantilados, playas, estuarios, lagunas o complejos dunares.Este trabajo analiza los tipos de litoral, entendiendo como tal cada sector que presenta determinadas condiciones topográficas marcadas por la elevación y pendiente, y que se modeló sobre un tipo concreto de roca en un entorno climático y marino específico. Se describe un enfoque metodológico para una clasificación a escala detallada. Este enfoque se basa en la delimitación de los diferentes sistemas costeros, ejemplificados en acantilados y playas de cantos rodados, playas de arena y dunas. En este caso las plataformas costeras, marismas y lagunas no han sido consideradas por los problemas técnicos derivados de la fuente de datos LiDAR, de la cual se derivan los modelos digitales del terreno (MDT) de resolución espacial de 2 m.El primer paso en la clasificación fue una delimitación manual que combinaba MDT y ortofotografías. Posteriormente, se realizó otra tipificación mediante la creación automática de Unidades Topográficas Litorales (UTC). Este índice es la combinación de dos variables: elevación costera y pendiente. La posible integración de otras, como la orientación o la litología, es posible, pero generan un número muy elevado de unidades y dificultan su interpretación. Por esta razón, este estudio no consideró más variables.En este proyecto se generaron 30 UTC, y luego se seleccionaron solo aquellas que aparecen en los sectores de acantilados, playas de cantos rodados, playas de arena y dunas costeras. La posibilidad de visualizar una o varias UTC en cualquier sector de la costa permite conocer con mayor precisión las condiciones de cada sector y estas categorías podrían mejorar los planes de gestión costera.

Authors: Kaur Anupam , Kaur Amandeep
Published: January 2022

Macrodactyly is a rare congenital malformation with clinical manifestations such as enlargement of soft tissue and osseous elements. It causes various health issues such as pain, difficulty in wearing shoes, impairment in ambulatory ability and gait development, aesthetic problem, and psychological issues. The aetiology of macrodactyly is ambiguous; however, its association with PIK3CA /AKT1 genes has been reported recently. In the present study, a rare congenital macrodactyly of second and third toe of right foot along with deformed leg in 16-year-old girl has been reported. A progressive increase in the size of the second and third toe of the right foot and deformed reddish swollen area on the same lower leg below knee was seen in the patient. The malformation was present at the time of birth and at the age of one year the patient was operated for macrodactyly, but again the toe progressively increased to the previous size. She was presented with multiple health problems. There was no positive family history and/or other congenital malformation. Thus, it was suggested that due to variable phenotypic manifestations, appropriate treatment should be chosen for the patient individually.

Facial expressions can tell a lot about an individual’s emotional state. Recent technological advances opening avenues for automatic Facial Expression Recognition (FER) based on machine learning techniques. Many works have been done on FER for the classification of facial expressions. However, the applicability to more naturalistic facial expressions remains unclear. This paper intends to develop a machine learning approach based on the Delaunay triangulation to extract the relevant facial features allowing classifying facial expressions. Initially, from the given facial image, a set of discriminative landmarks are extracted. Along with this, a minimal landmark connected graph is also extracted. Thereby, from the connected graph, the expression is represented by a one-dimensional feature vector. Finally, the obtained vector is subject for classification by six well-known classifiers (KNN, NB, DT, QDA, RF and SVM). The experiments are conducted on four standard databases (CK+, KDEF, JAFFE and MUG) to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach and find out which classifier is better suited to our system. The QDA approach based on the Delaunay triangulation has a high accuracy of 96.94% since it only supports non-zero pixels, which increases the recognition rate.

Published: January 2022

The main purpose of this research work is to apply machine learning and image processing techniques for plant classification efficiently. In the plant classification system, the conventional method is time-consuming and needs to apply expensive analytical instruments. The automated plant classification system helps to predict plant classes easily. The most challenging part of the automated plant classification research is to extract unique features of leaves. This paper proposes a plant classification model using an optimal feature set with combined features. The proposed model is used to extract features from leaf images and applied to image classification algorithms. After the evaluation process, it is found that GIST, Local Binary Pattern and Pyramid Histogram Oriented Gradient have better results than others in this particular application. Combined these three features extraction techniques and selected the optimal feature set through Neighbourhood Component Analysis. The optimal feature set helps classify plants with maximum accuracy in minimal time. Here performed an extensive experimental comparison of the proposed optimal feature set and other feature extraction methods using different classifiers and tested on different data sets (Swedish Leaves, Flavia, D-Leaf). The results confirm that this optimal feature set with NCA using ANN classifier leads to better classification achieved 98.99% accuracy in 353.39 seconds.

The conventional slow feature analysis (SFA) algorithm has no support of computational theory of vision for primates, nor does it have the ability to learn the global features with visual selection consistency continuity. And what is more, the algorithm is highly complex. Based on this, Slow Feature Extraction Algorithm Based on Visual selection consistency continuity and Its Application was proposed. Inspired by the visual selection consistency continuity theory for primates, this paper replaced the principal component analysis (PCA) method of the conventional SFA algorithm with the myTICA method, extracted the Gabor basis functions of natural images, initialized the basis function family; it used the feature basis expansion algorithm based on visual selection consistency continuity (the VSCC_FBEA algorithm) to replace the polynomial expansion method in the original SFA algorithm to generates the Gabor basis functions of features with long and short-term visual selectivity in the family of basis functions, which solved the drawbacks of the polynomial prediction algorithm; it also designed the Lipschitz consistency constraint, and proposed the Lipschitz-Orthogonal-Pruning-Method (LOPM algorithm) to optimize the basis function family into an over-complete family of basis functions. In addition, this paper used the feature expression method based on visual invariance theory (visual invariance theory -FEM) to establish the set of features of natural images with visual selection consistency continuity. Subsequently, it adopted three error evaluation methods and mySFA classification method to evaluate the proposed algorithm. According to the experimental results, the proposed algorithm showed good prediction performance with respect to the LSVRC2012 data set; compared with the SFA, GSFA, TICA, myICA and mySFA algorithms, the proposed algorithm is correct and feasible; when the classification threshold of the algorithm was set at 8.0, the recognition rate of the proposed algorithm reached 99.66%, and neither of the false recognition rate and the false rejection rate was higher than 0.33%. The proposed algorithm has good performance in prediction and classification, and also shows good anti-noise capacity under limited noise conditions.
Non-Global Privacy Protection Facing Sensitive Areas in Face Images

Face images, as an information carrier, are naturally weak in privacy. If they are collected and analyzed by malicious third parties, personal privacy will leak, and many other unmeasurable losses will occur. Differential privacy protection of face images is mainly being studied under non-interactive frameworks. However, the ε-effect impacts the entire image under these frameworks. Besides, the noise influence is uniform across the protected image, during the realization of the Laplace mechanism. The differential privacy of face images under interactive mechanisms can protect the privacy of different areas to different degrees, but the total error is still constrained by the image size. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a non-global privacy protection method for sensitive areas in face images, known as differential privacy of landmark positioning (DPLP). The proposed algorithm is realized as follows: Firstly, the active shape model (ASM) algorithm was adopted to position the area of each face landmark. If the landmark overlaps a subgraph of the original image, then the subgraph would be taken as a sensitive area. Then, the sensitive area was treated as the seed for regional growth, following the fusion similarity measurement mechanism (FSMM). In our method, the privacy budget is only allocated to the seed; whether any other insensitive area would be protected depends on whether the area exists in a growing region. In addition, when a subgraph meets the criterion for merging with multiple seeds, the most reasonable seed to be merged would be selected by the exponential mechanism. Experimental results show that the DPLP algorithm satisfies ε-differential privacy, its total error does not change with image size, and the noisy image remains highly available.

In present days, the major disease affecting people all across the world is “Cerebrovascular Stroke”. Computed tomographic (CT) images play a crucial role in identifying hemorrhagic strokes. It also helps in understanding the impact of damage caused in the brain cells more accurately. The existing research work is implemented on the Graphical Processing Unit (GPU’s) for stroke segmentation using heavyweight convolutions that require more processing time for diagnosis and increases the model's cost. Deep learning techniques with VGG-16 architecture and Random Forest algorithm are implemented for detecting hemorrhagic stroke using brain CT images under segmentation. A two-step light-weighted convolution model is proposed by using the data collected from multiple- repositories to inscribe this constraint. In the first step, the input CT images are given to VGG-16 architecture and in step two, data frames are given to random forest for stroke segmentation with three levels of classes. In this paper, we explore various training time values in the detection of stroke that reduces when compared with existing heavyweight models. Experimental results have shown that when compared to other existing architectures, our hybrid model VGG-16 and random forest achieved increased results obtained are dice coefficient with 72.92 and accuracy with 97.81% which shows promising results.
