Detection and Number Plate Recognition of Non-Helmeted Motorcyclists using YOLO
Authors: Padalia Dishant
Published: August 2022

Motorcycles are the most common mode of transport as they are affordable and low-maintenance vehicles. Motorcyclists were roughly 29 times more likely than passenger car passengers to die in an accident per vehicle mile travelled in 2019. One of the leading causes of fatal motorcycle accidents is the rider's failure to wear a helmet. According to section 129 of the motorcycle vehicle act, the Government has made it mandatory for two-wheeler drivers to wear helmets while driving. Still, many traffic rule violators do not obey them. In most developing countries, traffic police manually monitor motorcyclists at road junctions. Still, this method is inefficient as it does not apply on highways where the probability of accidents is highest due to speeding. This paper presents an automatic surveillance system for detecting two-wheeler drivers without helmets and recognizes their License plate numbers in the system. Firstly, the system detects motorcycles in the image or live video using the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm. It again applies this algorithm to detect whether the driver is helmeted or not for the detected motorcycles. Finally, the motorcycle's number plate is detected for identified motorcyclists without a helmet, and the characters are extracted using Optical Character Recognition.
Transfer learning based entropy optimized semi-supervised decomposed vector-quantized variational autoencoder model for multiclass text classification and generation
Authors: Malhotra Shivani
Published: August 2022

We propose a semisupervised discrete latent variable model for multi-class text classification and text generation. The proposed model employs the concept of transfer learning for training a quantized transformer model, which is able to learn competently using fewer labeled instances. The model applies decomposed vector quantization technique to overcome problems like posterior collapse and index collapse. Shannon entropy is used for the decomposed sub-encoders, on which a variable DropConnect is applied, to retain maximum information. Moreover, gradients of the Loss function are adaptively modified during backpropagation from decoder to encoder to enhance the performance of the model.
DC-Decoupled based Multi-phase Inverter Topology for Electronic Pole-changing Induction Motor Drive
Authors: Ch S V S Phani Kumar , Sonti Venu , jain sachin , Singh Bhim
Published: August 2022

This paper proposes a DC-Decoupled based multi-phase inverter (DCDMI) topology for electronic-pole changing (E-PC) induction motor drive (IMD) system. The given E-PC IMD with flexible wide speed and torque ranges, operates in two modes: 3-φ,12-pole and 9-φ, 4-pole mode. However, during the operation of E-PC IMD, a prevalent torque ripple exists, especially in high-pole mode. Torque ripples are due to harmonics in the stator periphery. The harmonics are attributed to common-mode current (CMC) produced by common-mode voltage (CMV) of the inverter that drives IMD. Consequently, this results in deterioration of drive performance. This paper proposes a new inverter topology for E-PC IMD, which minimizes the transitions in CMV both operating modes. Subsequently, the CMC in the stator periphery is minimized in both the modes. The required analysis and derivation for the expression of terminal voltages are also presented in this manuscript. Further, in the proposed system an interleaved switching strategy which is integrated with the DC-decoupling technique improves the over-all performance in 3-φ mode. To validate the results of the proposed DCDMI topology, a 36-slot 3.0HP 3-φ, 12-pole IM is designed, simulated, and analyzed in an Ansys environment. Simulated results are corroborated by experimentation.

“The place I like best in this world is the kitchen”: Reading the Kitchenspace in Banana Yoshimoto’s Kitchen
Authors: Sharma Dolikajyoti
Published: August 2022

Banana Yoshimoto (the pen name of Mahoko Yoshimoto, born in 1964) is a Japanese writer who, like her contemporary Haruki Murakami, is distinguished by her desire to question and problematize aspects of modern Japanese society in her fiction. Banana Yoshimoto is regarded as a representative figure in contemporary Japanese fiction, foregrounding the experiences and self-questioning of a younger generation struggling to find its place in a society torn between conservatism and the contingencies of a radical, dynamic, globalized, but at the same time, consumer culture. The elusiveness of relationships, of intimacy, of love and life, the difficulty of defining and finding happiness, and the inscrutability of one’s self are some of the central themes in her writing. This paper looks at Yoshimoto’s widely acclaimed novella, Kitchen (1987), and the manner in which Mikage Sakurai, the protagonist, manoeuvers through death, loneliness and healing to arrive at a secure sense of self. This happens through the primary metaphor of the kitchen, and the gendered associations that it elicits. At the same time, Yoshimoto’s representation of this space, as well as of food in general, challenges certain stereotypes associated with these. In the process, interpersonal relationships as well as the conventional idea of family also come to be reconstituted in the novella.

Published: August 2022

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI, previously known as acute renal failure) is a frequent complication that affects a substantial number of hospitalized patients annually. However, the relationship between severity of AKI and in-hospital outcomes in the setting of acute Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) has not been well- documented. Chronic kidney disease is a strong predictor of in-hospital mortality in the acute myocardial infarction setting. Objective: To evaluate the Outcome of admitted patients of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction with renal function. Methods: The Prospective observational study was carried out at the Cardiology Department, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College and Hospital, Faridpur, Bangladesh from July 2020 to June 2021. 100 patients of STEMI diagnosed by clinical, biochemical and ECG criteria were included in the study. After getting serum creatinine level from them, eGFR was calculated and patients having <60ml/min were selected for the further studies. Results: In the STEMI patients, the ratio of male patients 76% and females’ patients (35%) was 3.34:1 with mean ± SD of age was 52.84 ±8.40 year. Among the 101 patients, chart indicating the outcome of the study patients where cardiogenic shock was found in 10.8% patients, heart failure was found in 24.7%, arrhythmias were found in 69.3% and death occurred in 5.9% of cases. Table 5 showing Stratification of patients by in relation with eGFR where different pattern and frequency of outcome was observed in relation with level of eGFR described. After calculating levels of eGFR, all the outcomes showed statistically significant (P < 0.05) except cardiogenic shock which didn’t show significance (P > 0.05. Conclusion: In concluded, that those who have renal impairment previously or develop after acute STEMI have inverse outcomes. As renal impairment is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease and stroke, the cardiovascular disease may develop early in the course of renal dysfunction.

O presente estudo, desenvolvido no âmbito do Curso de Especialização em Docência na Educação Profissional do Instituto Federal de Alagoas (IFAL), define por objetivo realizar uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL) de pesquisas realizadas nos últimos cinco anos (2017-2021), no Brasil, disponibilizadas na Base Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, que apresentem como objetos de investigação as Metodologias Ativas de Aprendizagem aplicadas a Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, e com isso, contribuir com o conhecimento sobre a inserção, ou não, das Metodologias Ativas de Aprendizagem na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT). Para isso, realizamos um diálogo teórico sobre Metodologias Ativas de Aprendizagem e suas relações com a educação profissional e discorremos sobre algumas das metodologias ativas que se desvelaram nos dados da pesquisa, são elas: aprendizagem baseada em problemas, aprendizagem baseada em projetos, sala de aula invertida, entre outras. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa do tipo RSL de abordagem quanti-qualitativa. Os resultados demonstraram que apesar de haver um número significativo de trabalhos realizados nos últimos cincos que tinham como objeto de investigação as metodologias ativas, apenas 17 deles foram realizados no âmbito da EPT. Isso nos leva a inferir que há um gap de estudos que objetivassem essa relação. O que desvela a necessidade de maior engajamento na comunidade científica a respeito do estudo de tais metodologias no âmbito da EPT.
ARGUMENTAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA COMO FERRAMENTA CULTURAL NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DOCENTE
Authors: Gois Jackson , Delucia Luciana
Published: August 2022

A argumentação científica é um importante saber docente na formação inicial de professores de química. Neste artigo apresentamos dados coletados com licenciandos em química de uma universidade pública do interior do estado de São Paulo que mostram importantes aspectos sobre a elaboração de significados com a argumentação científica. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de questionário e entrevistas com os participantes um ano após entrarem em contato com o tema e antes de sua retomada e aplicação nos estágios curriculares supervisionados. Organizamos os dados com base na Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD) utilizando como categorias a priori as concepções de Toulmin (TAP). Na análise dos resultados, partimos das concepções socioculturais de domínio de ferramentas culturais. Os dados evidenciaram a possibilidade de os licenciandos apresentarem domínio da TAP na resolução de atividades teóricas argumentativas e, ao mesmo tempo, não manifestarem domínio dos aspectos teóricos da TAP. Nossos dados também confirmam outros elementos já presentes na literatura, como a importância de a TAP estar ligada a conteúdos científicos e também a melhoria dos resultados quando estudantes elaboram de forma oral seus argumentos em comparação aos argumentos por escrito.
Study of Hybrid Energy Storage System with Different Configurations of Super Capacitor
Authors: Sundaramahalingam S. , Balasubramaniyam T. , Prethesh Kumar K. S.
Published: August 2022

The main objective of this paper is to study of behaviour of hybrid energy storage system with various configurations of super capacitor. The Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) is made up of a variety of energy sources that are typically seen in electric vehicles. The model has been created to study the super capacitor behaviour, charging, and discharging. While the model is being charged, the power is required, and in the discharging state, lithium-ion battery is used. The most important components to be employed as a combo for the proposed HESS are the battery and the super capacitor. When using a supercapacitor in an electric car, the performance is found to be improved. Because of the battery's low power density, rapid draining and charging occurs. Therefore, the battery is alleviated from peak stress with the aid of the super capacitor, which also boosts the efficiency. The concern, however, is to optimize HESS in a way that it is both efficient and effective.
Fim de uma Era:
Authors: Salles Jung João Henrique , Abreu Vitória , Keil Lucas
Published: August 2022

Este artigo tem o intuito de analisar a política externa da primeira metade do governo de Jair Bolsonaro. Levada a cabo por um grupo de personagens não tradicionais, como foi o caso do inexperiente Ministro de Relações Exteriores Ernesto Araújo, a inserção internacional do Brasil rompeu com um ciclo autonomista iniciado em fins do século XX ao retomar posições associativistas. Mais do que isso, mostrou-se uma nova disposição do país através de uma retórica tradicionalista e cristã jamais antes adotada enquanto fonte de legitimação política-internacional; há o surgimento de uma nova ontologia na política externa brasileira. Dessa observação surge o conceito de diplomacia eclesiástica proposto pelos autores enquanto possível chave hermenêutica para a compreensão da política exterior do Brasil no período, a qual evidencia o fim de uma era.

Published: August 2022

El cambio climático es uno de los grandes hitos históricos en la gestión ambiental, que ha marcado un punto de inflexión en la mirada hacia los problemas ambientales: prepararse por anticipado es una de las pocas formas de encarar responsablemente la gestión ambiental en muchos ámbitos, especialmente en la gestión pública. En el marco de un acuerdo de trabajo entre el Ministerio de Transporte y Obras Públicas (MTOP) y la Fundación Julio Ricaldoni (FJR) de la Facultad de Ingeniería (UdelaR) de Uruguay, un equipo técnico interinstitucional llevó adelante un estudio de vulnerabilidad ante el cambio climático de obras de arte viales (puentes). Los grandes lineamientos y los tres productos a alcanzar formaban parte de los términos de referencia del Programa Rehabilitación y Mantenimiento Vial 8733-UY financiado por el Banco Mundial, y su cumplimiento satisfactorio se traducía en sendos desembolsos. Tales productos eran: una metodología de abordaje y selección de veinte obras de arte con las que se trabajaría; un análisis de vulnerabilidad de cada una de ellas ante eventos hidrometeorológicos, aplicando matrices de riesgo construidas ad-hoc en función de la metodología propuesta; y los planes de acción ante contingencias hidrometeorológicas, desarrollados a nivel operativo para dos de las obras consideradas. En este trabajo se presentan en forma detallada los tres productos, considerando desde el desarrollo metodológico de cada uno hasta los resultados obtenidos en cada fase.
Hacia la revalorización del espacio periurbano
Authors: Solano-Meneses Eska Elena
Published: August 2022

El espacio periurbano es el espacio resultante de un proceso de urbanización dispersa, producto de la expansión de la ciudad asociado con terrenos de índole rural. La peri-urbanización enmarca una difusa transición entre el campo y la ciudad.  El objetivo de este trabajo es la reconsideración de los estigmas negativos que acompañan el surgimiento, fomento y desarrollo de los espacios periurbanos, para trasladar su discurso hacia una nueva propuesta de gestión urbana, que permita resarcir los errores cometidos en los espacios urbanos. Este estudio parte del supuesto que es posible modificar los procesos de gestión en el espacio periurbano para propugnar, bajo un nuevo paradigma, un proceso urbano consciente y planeado que reconsidere y respete los valores de un espacio rural en aras de una mejor calidad de vida de sus habitantes. La metodología propuesta es la comparación entre los espacios rurales y urbanos, así como de las gestiones que delinean sus procesos urbanos, con consideraciones desde lo ambiental, lo económico, la inclusión y lo social. Los resultados dan cuenta de la transición de los procesos urbanos en los espacios urbanos consolidados y los espacios periurbanos, así como de las posibles ventajas de la revalorización del espacio periurbano. Las conclusiones permiten asumir, que frente al enfoque de degradación y menoscabo que ha primado sobre los espacios periurbanos, es posible interpelar esos paradigmas dominantes, para así abrir la posibilidad de revalorarlos, y ser conscientes de la oportunidad que nos ofrece para rediseñarlos.
Vinculación entre estructura y equipamiento urbano con la accesibilidad del adulto mayor en Toluca, Metepec y Lerma, México
Authors: Becerril-Sánchez Teresa , Méndez-Ramírez José Juan , Orozco-Hernández Adrián
Published: August 2022

La dinámica demográfica que enfrenta hoy en día nuestras ciudades demanda una organización y estructura urbana que responda a los nuevos requerimientos, esto es, que responda a las necesidades de un sector cada vez más visible como lo es la atención de la población adulta mayor. Cada vez este sector demográfico se amplía, es decir, existe un mayor número de población adulta mayor en nuestras ciudades, por ende, los requerimientos en cuanto a estructura y organización de las ciudades son más específicos, tal es el caso de una estructura urbana y distribución de equipamiento urbano especializado que permita su fácil acceso a este sector vulnerable de la población. En este trabajo se tiene como objetivo analizar si la actual estructura y equipamiento urbanos especializado en la ciudad de Toluca, Metepec y Lerma satisface las necesidades de accesibilidad de la población adulta mayor y si esto incide en la calidad de vida de este sector de población vulnerable a fin de que pueda ser replicado en otras ciudades con características similares. Para lograrlo se recurre a una caracterización urbana en torno a indicadores como estructura urbana, equipamiento urbano especializado, población adulta mayor, desplazamientos, motivo de traslado, interacción espacial, entre otros.  Dicha caracterización parte de información estadística, documental, y de campo.  Todo ello se constituye en el insumo y soporte de este trabajo.

Published: August 2022

El trabajo presentado tuvo como principal propósito determinar el grado de vulnerabilidad ambiental que presenta la zona periurbana en la Zona Metropolitana de Toluca (ZMT). La metodología a seguir fue la caracterización de la zona de investigación, un estudio cartográfico, una recopilación de información tanto bibliográfica como recorrido en campo de las actividades antrópicas de la zona. Posteriormente se realizó un análisis de los insumos requeridos para dichas actividades, así como los residuos generados en cuanto a sustancias químicas. El siguiente paso fue predecir cómo se llevó a cabo la transferencia de estos desechos al ambiente, para posteriormente corroborar visualmente estos escenarios de afectación en los sectores examinados. Lo resultados mostraron que la ZMT, exhibe transformaciones dinámicas socioeconómicas importantes en el área de influencia metropolitana, que propician competencia en la ocupación del territorio entre la demanda de suelo urbano y la demanda de suelo de actividades agropecuarias. Esto trae como consecuencias que estos cambios de uso de suelo propicien la proliferación de actividades como son el comercio, industria, almacenaje, hotelería producción y fabricación industrial. Con esto la transferencia de residuos generaron de entrada impactos negativos en el ambiente, los cuales se incrementarán y acrecentarán de manera gradual y constante.
The Western region of Ukraine under martial law: management of endogenous development potential in the context of adaptation to EU institutional standards
Authors: Borshchevskyy Viktor V. , Zasadko Valentyna V. , Matvyeyev Yevheniy E.
Published: August 2022

The article addresses the main problems related to the management of endogenous development potential of the Western region in Ukraine under martial law. It notes that the efficiency of using the endogenous potential is determined by such factors as natural resources, human and social capital, institutional environment, managerial competence, infrastructure development, technological innovations, and financial and budgetary capacity. The article shows how the introduction of martial law in Ukraine has affected the effectiveness of endogenous development potential management in the Western region of Ukraine. The focus is on new challenges for local authorities caused by institutional transformations and a significant number of internally displaced persons, as well as relocated enterprises from other regions of the country, including the war zone. The article emphasizes the risk of reduced local governments’ influence on the economic development of the Western region of Ukraine under martial law. It may lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of endogenous potential management of its individual areas. In addition, it will not meet EU institutional standards, negatively affecting the process of further European integration of Ukraine. At the same time, the main advantages of the regions of the Western part of Ukraine are emphasized in view of the intensification of cooperation with the EU. It especially concerns the changes in the institutional environment. Thus, the priority areas of expected institutional transformations include changing approaches to the administration of local taxes and fees, optimizing the mechanism of interaction between authorities at different levels, reforming the system of intergovernmental transfers, and implementing the principle of subsidiarity at all levels of government. These and related institutional innovations will help increase the effectiveness of management of endogenous development potential in the Western region of Ukraine, not only under martial law but also in the postwar period. The article contains the recommendations for public authorities and local governments to implement a number of management measures aimed at improving the efficiency of endogenous development potential in the Western region of Ukraine in current conditions. It substantiates the need to strengthen the administrative and financial capacity of local governments of the region, intensify and diversify cross-border cooperation, stimulate business development, improve the investment climate and modernize local infrastructure.

The aim of the research: Improvement of the traditional complex treatment of voice-speaking professions during the COVID-2019 pandemic with functional dysphonia on the background of subclinical psycho-emotional disorders by appointment neurotransmitter drugs.
Materials and methods: The study involved 49 people of voice-speech professions with functional disorders of the voice function of the hypotonic type, who were diagnosed with subclinical disorders of the psychoemotional state by questioning on the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). Before and after treatment, voice disorders were diagnosed using perceptual evaluation of the GRBAS voice scale and video stroboscopy of the larynx. The impact of voice disorders on quality of life during the pandemic was assessed using the Voice COVID-19 (VC-19) questionnaire.
All patients received standardized treatment, which consisted of the use of metabolic, stimulant drugs, physiotherapy and instillation of drugs into the larynx. In 26 patients of the main group (MG), in addition to treatment, a neurotransmitterotropic drug ("Beresh Magnesium plus B6") was prescribed. The comparison group (CG) consisted of 23 people who received traditional therapy. Descriptive statistics were used for statistical analysis of the effectiveness of treatment, comparison of the difference in quantitative indicators by the method of nonparametric statistics using the Mann-Whitney-U-test.
Results: The use of the neurotransmitter correction agent "Beresh Magnesium plus B6" by the patients with MG contributed to the suppression of their susceptibility to anxiety, stress and, as a result of these processes, made it possible to obtain, in comparison with the control group, a significant improvement in such indicators of acoustic parameters as voice strength by 5.78%, integral stroboscopy index - 13.34% and improvement of the quality of life by 34.03%, which indicates the effectiveness of the use of magnesium compounds with vitamin B6 in the complex treatment of patients with hypotonic dysphonia against the background of subclinical psychoemotional disorders.
Conclusions: Addit ional appointment of magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide compounds with vitamin B6, which has a modulating effect on neurotransmitters that affect depression and anxiety, to basic therapy for patients of main group, made it possible to obtain a significant improvement in the main perceptual and functional indicators of the voice and quality of life.

Authors: Hidayat Rachmat , Patricia Wulandari
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Cataract is the main cause of visual impairment and vision loss in the world, where 33% of the world's population has decreased vision due to cataracts. This study aims to explore the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in inhibiting the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1ß, thereby triggering tissue repair in cataract cases in vivo study.

Methods: This study is an experimental study with a post-test-only approach with a control group design. A total of 30 rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain was included in this study (male, 150-200 g, 8-10 weeks). The rats were divided into 3 groups, P1 (the group that was not induced by cataract and not treated with platelet-rich plasma), P2 (the group that was induced by cataract and given 10 uL of intraocular saline injection), and P3 (the group that was induced by cataract and given an intraocular injection of platelet-rich plasma). Plasma 10 uL).

Results: The results showed that the P3 group that received platelet-rich plasma treatment showed a significant decrease in IL-1B levels when compared to the P2 group with cataract induced but without PRP administration (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Activated platelet-rich plasma has potential as a new therapeutic modality in cataract conditions through inhibition of chronic inflammatory response in vivo studies.

Published: August 2022

Curcumin a hydrophobic polyphenolic compound and water-insoluble that creates low systemic bioavailability inside the body, has broad pharmacological activity, including anti-inflammation. This study aims to formulate, characterize and evaluate the nanoemulsion based on curcumin through an in vitro transdermal patch preparation. This study starts from formulating a curcumin nanoemulsion solution and characterizing the particle size of curcumin through PSA (Particle Size Analyzer). Further, it formulates the transdermal patch preparation with the smallest curcumin particles within three concentrations (HEC 0,625%, 1,25%, and 2,5%) combined with HPMC 2,5% as polymer. Those formulations are evaluated through organoleptic, thickness, weight uniformity, humidity, and folding resistance tests. In the next step, this study examines the penetration through an in vitro by using a franz diffusion cell within 72 hours. The result shows increasing penetration on each formula where the best penetrations occur in the 15th and 24th hours. It also discovers that the formula containing HEC 2,5% (2c) creates the highest cumulative drug penetration (15,83%). Therefore, it deduces that curcumin nanoemulsion in the transdermal patch has good characteristics and is compatible between drug and polymer.

A huge number of empirical literature has carried investigation on trade openness-income inequality nexus globally. However, there are areas of knowledge gap on the part of the impacts of FDI inflows on inequality to the Nigerian economy. As a result of this knowledge gap and growing concern for variations in methodologies and scope which makes the debate on nexus between trade openness, FDI and income inequality not beyond controversy. Hence, this study examines the nexus between trade openness, FDI and income inequality in Nigeria between 1981 and 2019 using ARDL methodology. Our findings show that shows that trade openness exerts a negative effect on income inequality in the short-run. This implies that rising trade openness leads to decline in inequality. Equally, the study finds that FDI is negatively related to income inequality. The findings are in tandem the theoretical prediction of Stolper-Samuelson‘s theorem in case of Asia that trade openness and FDI inflow impact income inequality. The findings on government expenditure also exerts a positive effect on inequality. Given that proxies for institutional and macroeconomic determinants demonstrate a diverse variety of indications and effects, this study suggests a policy stimulus aimed at enhancing economic and social structures while also stimulating FDI influx potential in order to raise household incomes.
