Objective: Previous studies have shown that the distribution of security returns has the characteristics of peak and fat tail, and it is not realistic to use logarithmic normal distribution to describe security returns. This paper mainly studies the specific form of security returns distribution and conducts empirical research. Methods: We first assume that the security returns follow a logarithmic t-distribution. Then, the maximum likelihood estimation and moment estimation are used to explore the degree of freedom of the distribution. Finally, the goodness of fit test is used to conduct an empirical analysis about Shanghai Securities Composite Index. Results: The specific expression formulas for the estimator of the degree of freedom are obtained. Empirical testing shows that the security returns follow a logarithmic t-distribution. Conclusion: The probability distribution of security returns is unrealistic to assume that the security returns follow the logarithmic normal distribution. It is more practical to use the logarithmic t-distribution to characterize the distribution of security returns. Our results provide theoretical assistance for exploring the pricing of financial derivatives.

Authors: Meneses María , Builes María Elizabeth
Published: August 2023

Los bajos resultados en pruebas estandarizadas en el área de matemática, en especial en la resolución de problemas es una preocupación constante en la educación básica primaria. Este artículo deriva de la investigación realizada en el campo mencionado, en el cual se analizan los procesos de enseñanza que se llevan a cabo, para dar cuenta de lo que se hace en el trabajo de aula, a partir de los Lineamiento curriculares, Estándares curriculares y Derechos Básicos de aprendizaje establecidos por el MEN, así como se da cuenta de las teorías de Ausbel, Díaz Barriga, Obando entre otros, los cuales permitieron adoptar un modelo que resignifica los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje en el área de las matemáticas, contrastado con lo que sucede en las instituciones educativas de básica primaria en Colombia. A partir de lo anterior se propone un modelo de evaluación de procesos de resolución de problemas matemáticos, que conduce al mejoramiento de las competencias tanto en resolución como en formulación de problemas matemáticos.

Improving Performance of VGG-19 Model using Dual Input Block for Skin Disease Classification
Authors: Malarkhodi S. , T.R. Tharun Raj , R. Shailesh Kanna , G.G. Sanjeevi
Published: August 2023

Skin diseases are a growing threat to humans. They can cause severe damage to the skin. The damage to the skin sometimes can lead the patient to have a loss of confidence and depression. By using emerging technologies like deep learning, we can identify skin diseases and treat them effectively. These computer-powered techniques can detect skin diseases without any help from a professional. People can have a user-friendly experience if some effort is put into the interface. This can help people identify the disease in its early stages instead of just ignoring it as an allergy. This will help people avoid suffering from the severe consequences of the diseases. By using these technologies, we can accurately find the disease in the patient. By using deep learning algorithms like those at CNN, we can make things simpler and less time-consuming. By using advanced models like Inception Net and ResNet and optimizing the model's hyperparameters like learning rate, optimizers, etc., the model can give high performance and accuracy. The model can be trained to give accurate results even if the images used in the training dataset and the image given by the patient are of low quality. We propose a dual-input CNN model to identify skin diseases. We use a modified VGG-19 neural network with dual input blocks and batch normalization to classify the diseases. The model outperforms the original VGG19 by about 5 percent. The original model, trained from scratch, was also modified to have batch normalization. The models did not learn, and the accuracy did not increase without batch normalization. The models were trained for 150 epochs. Both were trained under the same parameters and methods. The dual input model yields about 94%, while the original VGG19 architecture trained from scratch gives about 89%. The models were trained on P100 GPU are available in Kaggle. The model is implemented on hardware that can give results without any delay to the patient.
Text Summarization Quality Detection Based on GPT-3
Authors: Qi Sihan , Zhang Honghao
Published: August 2023

To summarize lengthy text in a concise and accurate manner is called text summarization. With the increasing amount of information available, text summarization has become increasingly important in information retrieval, knowledge management, and sentiment analysis. The research on text summarization dates to the 1960s, and the methods have evolved from traditional template-based generation to statistical and neural network-based methods. Modern language model GPT-3 has demonstrated outstanding linguistic ability, including the ability to produce text that is cohesive and grammatically correct. However, evaluating the caliber of text produced by GPT-3 is challenging and requires careful evaluation criteria. This study evaluated the text summarization ability of GPT-3 using multiple evaluation models (ROUGE, BLEU, and CIDER), and found that the generated summaries exhibited high quality and accuracy.

Authors: Bearzi Cristiane Fadel , Finamor Danilo Chiaradia , Marim Giovana , Durante Fausto Rohnelt
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Pregnancy and its prognosis are highly influenced by maternal nutritional status before and during pregnancy. We know the importance of adequate macronutrient intake and micronutrient supplementation in the preconception period, during pregnancy and in the puerperium. Objective: This literature review aimed to study the relationship between preterm birth and hypovitaminosis D. Methods: Literature review carried out in the Google Scholar, Virtual Health Library (VHL), SciELO and PubMed databases in period of last 5 year- 2017-2022 (june). Results and Conclusion: recent evidence supports that vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth. It is known that hypovitaminosis D during pregnancy can be a risk factor for preterm birth and all its complications for the newborn. But its isolated supplementation during pregnancy is still not a preventive action with statistically significant benefits in preterm birth. Researchers and physicians should be made aware of this issue to improve prenatal care. Strategies adopted to prevent preterm birth are scarce, and it is hoped that in the posterity the evidence mentioned in this article on the role of vitamin D may help to reduce its incidence and, consequently, mortality and, as such, improve the health of women pregnant women and their respective descendants.

Introdução: O sangramento anormal uterino é responsável por boa parte das queixas ginecológicas. Sendo importante considerar a idade da mulher, pois permite a mesma um direcionamento clínico para as causas mais comuns mediante a sua faixa etária. Objetivo: Analisar na literatura científica o impacto do sangramento uterino disfuncional e como é realizado o diagnóstico. Metodologia: Trata-se de revisão da literatura realizada por meio da análise nas bases de dados, disponíveis na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), sendo: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), e Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF). Foram utilizados os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) em cruzamento com o operador booleano AND, da seguinte forma: “Hemorragia uterina" and ‘’Diagnóstico’’ and “Síndrome do ovário policístico", encontrando um total de 17 trabalhos. Sendo selecionados 4 artigos para compor a amostra bibliográfica desta revisão. Resultados e Discussão: A síndrome ovariana policística (SOP) tem como característica a presença de ovulação crônica e o aumento anormal de andrógenos no organismo, desde que sejam excluídas outras patologias. Estima-se que tal patologia afeta entre 5 a 10% das mulheres em idade fértil. O aborto espontâneo é manifestação presente em aproximadamente 30% a 50% das mulheres com SOP.  Estudos sugerem que a presença de sangramento uterino anormal em mulheres com SOP pode ser um marcador de maior gravidade da doença. Conclusão: Portanto, é relevante que se capacite os profissionais que atuam na atenção primária por meio de cursos periódicos acerca das patologias mais comuns na Ginecologia, para que possam fazer o diagnóstico diferencial dos distúrbios ginecológicos.

IMPROVED QoE IN 5G BASE STATION USING PSO BASED DSA
Authors: A Habeeba Banu
Published: August 2023

In the 5G era, base stations can offer multiple services in various scenarios, enhancing spectrum efficiency by utilizing idle frequency bands for low-demand services while ensuring high-priority services are prioritized. This creates a distributed architecture for spectrum allocation. The proposed dynamic spectrum allocation scheme for base stations, optimizes spectrum rearrangement based on service priority, energy consumption, and renting cost. We employ the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, inspired by bird flocking or fish schooling behavior, to solve the problem. Moreover, provide detailed information on our approach, demonstrating the effectiveness of PSO in optimizing spectrum allocation. By using PSO, we find the optimal solution considering service priority, energy consumption, and renting cost, supported by mathematical proofs of PSO algorithm performance. MATLAB is used as the simulation tool to carry out these techniques. Simulation experiments validate the approach, showing the stability and efficacy of PSO-based algorithm, which aligns with the theoretical analysis. .

Published: August 2023

As globalization has altered our lives in many ways, our communication patterns have seen the most significant transformation. Recent technical innovations include those in computers, smartphones, Tablet, iPad , internet and their multiple uses for data, voice calls, text messages, online and offline gaming, and social networking apps. It has been incorporated into so many facets of our lives and the lives of our kids that it is now practically a need. Children are increasingly more likely to own and utilize technological devices. Recognizing how technology affects a child's development, growth ,health and wellbeing is crucial. Technology for children can be useful since it allows them to express their creativity through games on their phones or programs that stimulate their senses and imagination. Technology can be beneficial in organization, planning ,critical thinking and bonding among children. However, if used excessively or unsupervised, it can cause children to become dependent on them and perhaps develop addiction. Developmental issues, musculoskeletal issues, physical inactivity, obesity, and poor sleep hygiene are among the health hazards associated with children's improper usage of such technological gadgets in terms of content, duration, frequency, and posture. The truth is that if we utilize technology appropriately, it never causes issues and should resolve them. The primary goal of this review is to emphasize the effects of technology on children, positive as well as negative. Keywords children ,development, technology, technological devices

The multiplication of fractions was considered an easy operation, but it posed a challenge for students. The lack of previous research on this topic, especially at the tertiary level, made it an intriguing subject for investigation. This study aimed to explore the factors contributing to these difficulties and the types of learning barriers students faced. Hermeneutics phenomenology was used as the research design. Fifteen participants, aged between 18 and 25, consisting of 7 boys and 8 girls, were selected for this study. Nine students had a background in natural sciences during high school, while six were from social studies majors. The researcher served as the main instrument, employing a fraction multiplication test with two questions developed by NCTM. Additionally, a semi-structured interview guide was used as an additional instrument. The data obtained were analyzed using NVivo-12-assisted thematic analysis for a simplified coding process. The study findings indicated that students encountered more learning difficulties when dealing with non-routine fraction multiplication problems. For routine problems, the learning obstacles were primarily ontogenic and psychological in nature (carelessness). However, when dealing with non-routine problems, students faced epistemological barriers due to their limited experience with word problems. Moreover, they encountered conceptual obstacles (inability to equivalence and convert fractions to decimal form) and psychological hurdles (doubt) during the learning process.

Leta 2014 je bila v 58 splošnih knjižnicah in v Univerzitetni knjižnici Maribor izvedena raziskava o številu in formalni izobrazbi domoznancev ter času, ki ga namenjajo izvajanju domoznanske dejavnosti.Rezultati: Primerjava podatkov je pokazala, da se je število strokovnih delavcev v domoznanski dejavnosti od 90. let 20. stoletja povečalo, prav tako se je povečalo število knjižnic, ki imajo domoznansko dejavnost organizirano v okviru samostojnega oddelka. Žal pa se število zaposlenih za polni delovni čas ni sorazmerno povečevalo, ampak je stagniralo, v deležu vseh zaposlenih strokovnih delavcev pa je celo upadlo. Največ pozornosti domoznanski dejavnosti danes namenjajo v večjih knjižnicah, ki so praviloma osrednje območne knjižnice, ter v Univerzitetni knjižnici Maribor, kjer zaposlujejo usposobljen kader, ki ves delovni čas posveča opravljanju domoznanske dejavnosti. V manjših knjižnicah zaradi kadrovske podhranjenosti največkrat nimajo za polni delovni čas zaposlenega kadra, dejavnost opravljajo strokovni delavci v okviru drugih oddelkov in v precej manjšem obsegu.Uporabnost raziskave ter omejitve: Pri vseh dosedanjih analizah se je pokazal problem pridobivanja relevantnih podatkov o obsegu domoznanskih zbirk in kadra za opravljanje domoznanske dejavnosti. To je posledica zelo različnih praks v knjižnicah ter pomanjkanja točnih podatkov, zaradi česar so navedbe knjižnic pogosto zgolj ocene. Kljub omenjenim omejitvam pa lahko ta pregled stanja služi kot dobra podlaga za oblikovanje predloga sprememb zakonske ureditve domoznanstva.

Authors: Boh Podgornik Bojana , Bartol Tomaž , Šorgo Andrej , Rodič Blaž , Dolničar Danica
Published: August 2023

IzvlečekNamen: V članku predstavljamo in celoti objavljamo validiran test informacijske pismenosti (IP) v visokem šolstvu v slovenskem jeziku. Glavni namen raziskave je bil razvoj novega merskega instrumenta, ki omogoča vrednotenje IP študentov, prepoznavanje razlik v glavnih sklopih vsebin po merilih in kazalcih IP, ter preverjanje kognitivnih stopenj – znanja, razumevanja in uporabe vsebin IP-ja.Metodologija/pristop: Po analizi meril in kazalcev IP-ja v visokem šolstvu smo izdelali zbirko 80 vprašanj ter jih kategorizirali glede na merila IP-ja in Bloomove kognitivne stopnje. V test smo vključili štirideset vprašanj s po štirimi odgovori izbirnega tipa. Po validaciji testa v več skupinah študentov smo v končno raziskavo zajeli 987 študentov univerzitetnih in višješolskih študijev. Za statistične izračune smo uporabili SPSS ver. 22.Rezultati: Novi test za vrednotenje IP-ja vsebuje 40 vprašanj, ki so kategorizirana glede na vsebino in kognitivne stopnje IP-ja. Potrdili smo zanesljivost (Cronbachov alfa 0,715) in diskriminantno moč testa (Fergusonov delta 0,946), izdelali opisne statistike celotnega testa (povprečni dosežek 67 %), analizo pravilnosti po posameznih vprašanjih, analizo dosežkov po posameznih merilih IP-ja ter analizo dosežkov po Bloomovih kognitivnih stopnjah.Omejitve raziskave: Za vrednotenje podrobnih vsebin IP-ja bi test moral vsebovati večje število vprašanj, za preverjanje najvišjih kognitivnih ravni pa uporabne naloge odprtega tipa.Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: Nov merski instrument za vrednotenje IP-ja študentov v slovenskem jeziku je prosto dostopen vsem zainteresiranim raziskovalcem in pedagogom.Ključne besede: informacijska pismenost, merila, kognitivne stopnje, test, študenti, visoko šolstvo

Authors: Zubac Andreja
Published: August 2023

Purpose: Reinforcement and development of reading culture of secondary school students through theoretical and research section of the paper. The concept of reading culture among students of secondary schools is connected with the path of the book.Methodology/approach: The research shows results of the national survey made in the Republic of Croatia among students of secondary schools. The instrument used was a questionnaire. The research was anonymous. The sample obtained is convenient. The number of respondents was 251. Results of the research were processed by the computer programme Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), by means of a descriptive statistics and they are presented in percentages.Results: According to the processed sample, the results of this research showed that almost 1/3 of the students in Croatia did not have a developed reading culture. However, 2/3 of the respondents read at least one book per month. The survey encompassed a smaller number of secondary school students only in Croatia, so the sample was not representative. The research has shown that information channels need to be improved in order for information and books to reach students, potential readers.Research limitations: Students’ indifference to solve a questionnaire resulting in a nonrepresentative sample.Originality/practical implications: The research is the starting point for new surveys on reading culture of secondary school students. In Croatia, there is a lack of national representative and comprehensive researches of this kind, so it is assumed that the results of the survey will provide new hypotheses for future researches.

IzvlečekNamen: Gradnja knjižnic obsega fazo projektiranja, fazo gradbenih dovoljenj in fazo gradnje. Knjižnična stavba mora izpolnjevati osnovne zahteve, ki veljajo za gradbene objekte na splošno in specifične zahteve glede na namen, vrsto, velikost, zmogljivost, predvidene vplive in druge značilnosti stavbe. Nabor literature o načrtovanju knjižničnih stavb v Sloveniji je skop. Načrtovanje stavb in sistemov ne sledi trenutnemu trendu rabe knjižnic, kar se pogosto odraža v slabi kakovosti notranjega okolja. Namen članka je izdelava morfologije načrtovanja knjižničnih stavb, katerih namen ni le v hramba in izposoja knjižničnega gradiva, temveč tudi omogočanje raznolikih aktivnosti uporabnikov.Metodologija/pristop: Izveden je sistematični pregled literature o načrtovanju knjižničnih stavb, zakonskih zahtev in priporočil za kakovostno notranje okolje knjižnic v slovenskem prostoru. Izdelana je bila nadgradnja metode inženirskega načrtovanja po Morris Asimow, glede na specifike knjižnične stavbe, njenih uporabnikov in gradiva.Rezultati: Izdelani postopek načrtovanja poteka v šestih fazah: 1. Določitev namembnosti; 2. Geomorfološke, klimatske in lokacijske danosti; 3. Geometrija objekta in orientacija; 4. Definicija aktivnih con in zahtevanih pogojev; 5. Določitev funkcionalnih con, sestave in križanja; 6. Podporni sistemi za delovanje objekta. Cilj predstavljenega postopka načrtovanja je v celovitem pristopu in vključitvi knjižničarjev ter uporabnikov.Omejitve raziskave: Sistematični pregled literature je bil opravljen v slovenskem prostoru in ni vključeval pravnih aktov, ki veljajo v drugih državah članicah. Izdelan postopek načrtovanja ni bil preizkušen na dejanski knjižnici temveč na ostalih javnih objektih.Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: Rezultati imajo uporabno vrednost za gradnjo ali prenovo v smeri stimulativnega okolja za obiskovalce in zaposlene kot tudi za hrambo gradiva. Kompleksnost načrtovanja knjižnične stavbe zahteva multidisciplinaren pristop, ki temelji na sodelovanju strok in uporabnikov.
Collaborating communities revisited
Authors: Dunsire Gordon
Published: August 2023

Purpose: This article follows up “Collaborating communities: the RDA experience and its implications for common information environments”, published in 2007 in the proceedings of the 11th seminar on Archives, Libraries, Museums held in Poreč, Croatia. That paper was written before the publication of RDA: Resource Description and Access, the successor to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR). The article outlines what has happened since, with a focus on the development of RDA in collaboration with related standards groups.Methodology/approach: This is a chronological review of the development of documents, which lead to the publication of RDA. Cooperation and harmonization of description of information objects among different concerned communities is also presented.Research limitations: The thorough review of RDA and related documents covers the period from 2008 to 2018.Originality/Practical implications: The strategic development of RDA is dependent on continuing collaboration with international communities, cultural heritage communities, and linked data communities. All of these communities have a strong interest in linked open data and the Semantic Web, and RDA has played a significant role in initiating and stimulating collaborative development of library and cultural heritage metadata in RDF format.
