Classification of 3D UAS-SfM Point Clouds in the Urban Environment
Authors: Ntuli Simiso , Forbes Angus
Published: October 2023

The classification of three-dimensional (3D) point clouds derived through the use of cost-effective and time-efficient photogrammetric technologies can provide helpful information for applications, particularly in the mapping context. This paper presents a practical study of 3D Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) – Structure-from-Motion (SfM) point cloud classification using mainly open-source software. Following a supervised classification approach that makes use of only the dimensionality of points, the entire scene was classified into three land-cover categories: ground, high vegetation, and buildings. By applying the above-mentioned approach, the level of competence in classifying a 3D point cloud of a heterogeneous scene situated in the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, was evaluated. The resulting overall classification accuracy of 81.3%, with a Kappa coefficient of 0.70, was determined by means of a confusion matrix. The results achieved indicate the potential use of open-source software and 3D UAS-SfM point cloud classification in mapping and monitoring complex environments and in other applications that might arise.
Assessing the importance of hypsometry for catchment soil erosion: A case study of the Yanze watershed, Rwanda
Authors: Gashakamba Faustin , Wali Umaru Garba , Byizigiro Vaillant Rutazuyaza
Published: October 2023

Implementing a watershed erosion control programme requires resource-intensive and time-consuming preliminary studies to prioritize such interventions and to focus on those sub-catchments where they are most likely to yield the most effective results.

In this study, we explore and document the effectiveness of using hypsometric analysis as a method to prioritize erosion control measures and apply it to the Yanze watershed located in central Rwanda.

Based on a 30m-resolution DEM of the watershed and using ArcGIS and R software, we made estimates of hypsometric integral values and calculated soil loss estimates through RUSLE modelling and by using data from different sources, namely the Rwanda Meteorological Agency (rainfall data), ISRIC (soil data), and Sentinel-2 images (land cover maps).

The hypsometric integral values of the Yanze sub-catchments were high, ranging from 0.5 to 0.936. This, combined with the overall convex upward hypsometric curves, indicates that the Yanze watershed is still at a youthful stage in its erosional cycle.

The results of the RUSLE model showed that the average potential soil loss in the Yanze watershed is 55.63 tonnes.ha-1.year-1, which is comparable to the national average estimated at 62 tonnes.ha-1.year-1.

The correlation analysis that we conducted between the hypsometric integral values of the Yanze sub-catchments and their respective mean soil loss values revealed no correlation between the two variables. From the results of this study, we conclude that in watersheds where lithology affects soil erosion significantly, morphology can indeed indicate the potential for erosion. However, we further concluded that future studies to characterize erosion potential using morphometry should employ additional morphometric parameters in the regression model.
The role of IL-13 gene polymorphism in the exacerbation of Asthma severity
Authors: Imam M.K. , Ibrahim S. , Badamasi I. M. , Ibrahim H.S. , Bala J.A. , Aliyu I.A.
Published: October 2023

Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disorder characterized by persistent inflammation, obstruction, and hyperresponsiveness. The role of cytokines, particularly Interleukin-13 (IL-13), in the pathogenesis of asthma has been extensively studied. IL-13 is involved in Th2 inflammation and has been identified as a possible therapeutic target in asthma treatment. This review focuses on the role of IL-13 gene polymorphism in exacerbating asthma severity. IL-13 is responsible for various key pathological features of asthma, including airway hyper- responsiveness, mucus production, and induction of allergic responses. The release of IL-13 is triggered by exposure to allergens, which activate dendritic cells and promote the differentiation of Th2 cells. IL-13 interacts with its receptors, IL-13Rá1 and IL-13Rá2, and initiates signaling pathways involving JAK1, JAK3, and STAT6. Biomarkers such as total serum IgE, exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), airway epithelial proteins, blood eosinophil counts, and sputum eosinophil counts have been used to assess IL-13 activity and predict treatment response. Polymorphisms in the IL-13 gene and its receptors have been associated with asthma susceptibility, severity, and response to therapy. Understanding the role of IL-13 gene and polymorphism in asthma can provide insights into disease mechanisms and contribute to personalized treatment approaches. Further studies are needed to elucidate the association airway between IL-13 polymorphisms, asthma severity, and response to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).

A coherent differential PCF
Authors: Ehrhard Thomas
Published: October 2023

The categorical models of the differential lambda-calculus are additive
categories because of the Leibniz rule which requires the summation of two
expressions. This means that, as far as the differential lambda-calculus and
differential linear logic are concerned, these models feature finite
non-determinism and indeed these languages are essentially non-deterministic.
In a previous paper we introduced a categorical framework for differentiation
which does not require additivity and is compatible with deterministic models
such as coherence spaces and probabilistic models such as probabilistic
coherence spaces. Based on this semantics we develop a syntax of a
deterministic version of the differential lambda-calculus. One nice feature of
this new approach to differentiation is that it is compatible with general
fixpoints of terms, so our language is actually a differential extension of PCF
for which we provide a fully deterministic operational semantics.

Authors: Akbar Hidayat , Septa Amanda Rizaldy , Indra Sensuse Dana
Published: October 2023

This study aims to determine the maturity level of knowledge sharing and recommendations to increase the maturity level in Telco organizations, especially in the territory area of PT ABC. This research uses KSM2 (Knowledge Sharing Maturity Model) to determine its maturity level into five stages, namely no KS level, project level, department level, organization level, and knowledge sharing at all levels. A mixed method was conducted in this study through literature review of papers and a survey of 100 respondents with 20 questions divided into three categories, Project level, Department level, and Organizational level. The result shows that the company in the territory area reaches an organizational level in the KSM2 model. The practice of knowledge sharing is good enough that takes place in the organization. but for feedback improvement, it has not been done well, there is no place to accommodate this yet. This research recommends some improvements to knowledge sharing in organizations. First, at the project level to improve proactive knowledge sharing with motivation. Second, at the department level to improve courage to express opinion in meetings. Third, at the organizational level must have routine knowledge sharing formally with a calendar of events. Besides the three points above, feedback and criticism to improve knowledge-sharing practice must be followed up to gain the next level in KS Maturity.
Modified Stoppa Approach for Acetabular Fixation
Authors: Charan Rajat
Published: October 2023

Introduction: When acetabular fractures are intra-articular, correct anatomic reduction is important to achieve an excellent functional outcome. A few of the surgical techniques like ilioinguinal and modified Stoppa techniques are the only available intra-pelvic procedures. Despite the fact that ilioinguinal method is more commonly used, modified Stoppa technique is becoming more popular due to the possibility of visualizing and reducing quadrilateral plate fragments in addition to fixation of posterior column through anterior approach. The goal of our study is to assess the efficacy of various reduction tools/ techniques for reduction and fixation of fractures by use of modified Stoppa technique.

Materials and Methods: We have operated on 16 patients with acetabular fractures through modified Stoppa approach within the age group of 19 years to 70 years (mean 42 years) with male female ratio of 13:3. In patients requiring combined method, the anterior approach was performed first. In most of the patient’s, modified Stoppa was combined with a lateral window. we have used various reduction strategies consisting of trans trochanteric Schanze pin, intra-focal elevators, ball spike, bone hook, iliac crest Schanze pin, Farebeat forceps, under contoured plate and many others.

Results: Matta’s radiographic reduction criteria showed anatomic reduction in 10 cases. Clinical evaluation using Merle d’ Aubigne scoring showed excellent outcomes in 9 cases and good results in 6 cases. Follow up was done for a most duration of six months.

Conclusion: Modified Stoppa technique provides better visualisation of quadrilateral floor and sciatic buttress while compared to the ilioinguinal method. Using suitable reduction strategies gives good reduction of anterior column, at the same time offers possibility to restore the posterior column from the anterior aspect using anterior to posterior column screws, obviating the need for a separate posterior approach.

Treatment of Benign Giant Cell Tumours of Bone in Singapore
Authors: Lim YW , Tan MH
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a distinct neoplasm of undifferentiated cells. The exact cell of origin is unknown. The multinucleated giant cells present are formed from the fusion of mononuclear cells. Giant cell tumour is more common in Southeast Asia than in the West. The incidence is about 20% compared to 4% to 5% in the West. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients with giant cell tumour were treated in the Singapore General Hospital from 1993 to 2001. The average follow-up period was 64.4 months, with a range of 30 to 132 months. The average age of the patients was 33 years. The tumours were divided into 3 groups. The first group had meticulous curettage and high-speed burring followed by methylmethacrylate cementation. The second group had treatment similar to the first but in addition had an adjuvant treatment with liquid nitrogen, hydrogen peroxide or phenol before cementation of the cavity. The third group had wide resection done. There were 9 in the first group, 5 in the second group and 2 in the third group. The tumours were graded radiologically after the method of Campanacci et al. All patients were followed up clinically and radiologically. Of the 5 in the second treatment group, 1 had phenol irrigation, 2 had cryotherapy and 2 had hydrogen peroxide irrigation intraoperatively. Results: There was a total of 5 recurrences (31%). The 2-year recurrence-free survivorship was 75%. The mean recurrence period was 21 months. There were no complications like fracture, infection or thermal injury to the skin. There was no pulmonary metastasis or mortality. The first group, who had curettage, high-speed burr and cementation, had 44% (4 out of 9) recurrence; the second group, who had treatment like the first with additional adjuvant therapy, had no recurrence; and the third, who had wide resection, had 50% (1 out of 2) recurrence. All the recurrences had a Campanacci grade II or III tumour. There were no recurrences in the group that was treated with curettage, high-speed burr, adjuvant treatment and cementation. Conclusion: Currettage, high-speed burring with added phenol/liquid nitrogen treatment and cementation is a useful and safe method in the treatment of giant cell tumours. The advantages include a low recurrence rate, as well as immediate stabilisation allowing early mobilisation. Patients who have Campanacci grade I tumours have the highest chance of being disease-free after the first operation.

Otology/Neuro-otology is a well-defined subspecialty of Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose & Throat) practice that deals with conditions related to the ear and its neural pathways. The conditions include deafness, vertigo and giddiness, facial palsy, tinnitus, ear infections, acoustic neuromas, and skull-base tumours. There have been several recent advances in this field, such as the early detection of hearing loss via universal newborn hearing screening programmes; the treatment of deafness using sophisticated hearing devices or implants; and improved surgical techniques and the introduction of more effective methods for treating vertigo or giddiness. Singapore has well-trained Otologists and Neuro-otologists who effectively adopt management strategies comparable to some of the top centres in the world. Otology/Neuro-otology in Singapore has, however, evolved in a way that commensurates with its own geographical, demographic, socio-economic and political features.
Lessons in Case Management for the Physician
Authors: Lim TK
Published: October 2023

The emergence and rapid proliferation of case management programmes, quality improvement projects, and continuous improvement plans is a prominent feature of the medical landscape in recent years. This is certainly the case in the public hospitals. The phenomenon is viewed by some doctors, depending on the context in which the measures have been introduced, with either suspicion, resistance, indifference, tacit agreement, or full and positive engagement. Whatever the case in our own institution, case management is beginning to take root in our hospital culture. We need to recognise this fact and to learn how best to cope with it in our everyday practice.

O ambiente marinho é mais vantajoso para a energia eólica em comparação com a superfície terrestre, o que pode resultar em maiores fatores de capacidade (eficiência) e densidade de potência para Parques Eólicos Offshore (PEO). Em julho de 2023, 78 projetos estavam em análise pelo órgão federal licenciador brasileiro. Questões socioambientais devem ser consideradas no processo relacionado aos diferentes usos do espaço marinho. Há uma lacuna na bibliografia internacional sobre o tema. Além disso, o contexto brasileiro se apresenta com uma diversidade de usos no espaço marinho. A pesca artesanal se destaca por ser fundamental para a manutenção do modo de vida e segurança alimentar de inúmeras comunidades do litoral brasileiro. São cerca de 650 territórios pesqueiros ao longo da costa brasileira, envolvendo indiretamente mais de 3 milhões de pessoas na atividade. O objetivo deste artigo é sintetizar os impactos socioambientais potenciais e conhecidos dos PEOs, com foco no contexto da pesca artesanal no Nordeste do Brasil. Os impactos diferem entre as fases de pré-construção, construção e pós-construção, podendo ter efeitos de curto, médio e longo prazo. Além disso, deve-se atentar para a fase de descomissionamento das estruturas. Embora a literatura apresente possíveis impactos positivos na pesca, destacamos possíveis prejuízos econômicos na atividade pesqueira por diversos motivos, incluindo exclusão espacial, dificuldade de navegação e redução de peixes. Ações efetivas são necessárias para mitigar tais perdas, sendo o licenciamento ambiental um importante curso de ação. Por fim, é imprescindível que as ações de implantação de parques eólicos offshore estejam alinhadas com os conceitos de justiça energética.

Postmodernism is a new perspective on science and technology and today's social culture. The main feature of postmodernism is uncertainty. Humans today are in a condition filled with uncertainty, episodic and dynamic lifestyles. Changes in society occur very quickly, it is not uncommon for cultural shocks to occur, including in the world of education. The main goal of education is to humanize humans, so education must adapt to developments that occur locally to globally. Social studies education has a central role in dealing with the dynamics of social change. Postmodernism is one of the crucial challenges in social studies education learning. This study aims to 1) analyze the conditions and challenges of social studies education in the postmodern era and 2) analyze the fundamental skills that need to be taught in social studies education in the postmodern era. This research has a qualitative paradigm using library research. Data collection techniques for the study of related books, articles, and journals, using the hermeneutic data analysis method. Interpretive analysis shows that the emphasis on social studies learning is expected not only to focus on affective and cognitive aspects but also on life skills in the global era, which is synonymous with postmodernism. Adaptation skills, democracy, critical thinking, problem-solving, multiculturalism, socio-cultural relativism, and collaboration skills are needed to equip students to face the dynamics of postmodernism. Therefore, postmodernism in social studies education can be used as a philosophical foundation in the practice of compiling curriculum, materials, and the learning process of social studies education at every level of education.
