Published: October 2022

At the present stage of transformational change, the problems of activating the economic partnership and cooperation based on the creation of network structures are extremely important. These issues are actualized especially in the context of the rapid development of the digital economy and smart specialization. Given this, the purpose of this study is the theoretical generalization and systematization of existing scientific approaches to the interpretation of the concept of «network structure»; substantiation of the authors’ own approach to defining the content of this economic category. As a result of the carried out study, it is determined that the concept of «network structure» be identified with such definitions as: organization, interaction, association, management structure, form of management, coordination, cooperation, alliance, structured set, integration, corporate structure, relations, coalition. Using a systematic approach and the classification method, the interpretation of the term of «network structure», proposed by various scientific schools, is conventionally systematized as to the following groups: entrepreneurial network; business structure; open structures; new organizational form of joint activity; collective interaction; organizational type; model of economic relations; complex of business units (network partners); element of the network economy, et cetera. The article provides the authors’ own approach to defining the category of «network structure» as a specific form of organization of collective efforts, which is based on the voluntary interaction of its participants on the basis of combining their interests, resources, competencies, and capabilities. It is proposed to consider the network structure as an economic category from three positions, such as: a network form of partnership; an effective model of stakeholder interaction in the context of global transformations; a model of partnerships between market participants in the organization of logistics processes.

Authors: Kindanti Femmy , Sholichin Ibnu
Published: October 2022

West Papua Province is a new province with a relatively low economic level due to inadequate road access. Many areas are isolated, which hampers the distribution of goods and services. One isolated area is the Kaimana Regency with Fakfak Regency. Therefore, to open regional isolation and improve the local community's economy, it is necessary to plan a road in the Inari – Bofuwer segment as an infrastructure that can connect the two areas.Road planning consists of geometric road planning based on Tata Cara Perencanaan Geometrik Jalan Antar Kota No. 38 Tahun 1997, road pavement thickness planning using the 2017 Bina Marga method, and road drainage planning based on Perencanaan Sistem Drainase Jalan Tahun 2006.The geometric design of the road for horizontal alignment obtained 13 Spiral-Circle-Spiral bends and 5 Spiral-Spiral bends. In contrast, the vertical alignment consists of 13 concave curves and 13 convex curves. The road pavement uses Burda or Burtu with a thickness of LPA Class A 250 mm, LPA Class B 110 mm, and a soil stabilization layer 150 mm. The planned road drainage channel is in the form of a trapezoid with a width of 0,4 – 0,6 meters and a height of 0,85 – 1,15 meters.
Unraveling the Pathways Involved in Intestinal Repair After Ionizing Radiation Damage
Authors:   , Pattavina Blaine
Published: October 2022

Exposure to genotoxic environmental agents has detrimental effects on health span and aging. Macromolecular damage caused by these factors is also known to lead to diseases like cancer. Radiation therapy is the treatment of choice for malignant tumors and several non-malignant diseases. Despite its effectiveness, it often leads to unintended complications. Radio-sensitivity of healthy ‘bystander’ cells is an important factor in mediating these complications, which often result in several long-term and debilitating side effects. This incurs huge costs in patient care to maintain the well-being of survivors. Current efforts to understand the underlying molecular patho-physiology of radiation damage involve the use of in vitro human cell or rodent models. However, these methods have limitations, as in vitro models cannot perfectly mimic complex tissue micro-environments and in vivo rodent models are far too expensive, time-consuming, and restricted. To fill this critical gap, Drosophila melanogaster has been used as it is a genetically malleable and an inexpensive model to study radiation-induced damage. The conservation between humans and flies at the cellular and molecular levels allowed researchers to study similarities between flies and mammals in how they respond to radiation. DNA damage resulting from radiation exposure inhibits not only intestinal stem cell (ISC) proliferation but also causes extensive apoptosis in the enterocytes leading to increased intestinal permeability and reduced survival. To identify novel regulatory pathways that can alleviate radiation induced intestinal damage, a screen was performed using approximately strains from the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP). This Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) analysis identified several candidate genes. In this thesis, two of the top candidate genes and their role in regulating intestinal damage caused by radiation were characterized. In the first aim, Meltrin was characterized for the effect of its tissue-specific knockdown in the clearance of damaged Enterocytes (EC), the main absorptive cells in fly intestine. This characterization was achieved by measuring survival, gut damage, and prevalence of apoptotic cells in irradiated guts. In the second aim, the Msi was investigated for its role in reparative proliferation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Results from this thesis project have identified two new conserved genes involved in radiation damage repair with potential for future relevance as therapeutic targets.

Perceptions of Power: Purple in Archaic Greek, Ancient Mesopotamian Inscriptions, and the Hebrew Bible
Authors: Lyell Ellena
Published: October 2022

Purple in the ancient world held common characteristics: symbolic of power, wealth, and beneficence. Purple was also thought to be produced and imported from the Phoenician area, situated along the Levantine coastal shore. Yet between different literature circles, the specifics of purple diverged widely. This article explores the social function of purple-material (and its inherent purple-colour) in the Hebrew Bible in light of wider ancient Near East and eastern Mediterranean texts. As with any given cultural material, the meaning of purple is relative; it is differentially significant according to audience, context, subject matter, and the qualities of the material. By utilising a sociological and comparative approach, in the following I consider the use of purple in Homeric epic, ancient Mesopotamian inscriptions and biblical texts. I demonstrate that purple pigments and dyes, as well as the purple-colour of the object to which the pigments/dyes is applied, is a key means to communicate something culturally-specific. In so doing, this ultimately provides fresh insight into the texts and offers a glimpse into the thought processes of ancient society.

Published: October 2022

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the outcome of peroperative intravenous lidocaine in reducing the intensity of postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.This prospective randomized clinical trial study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital (SSMC MH), Dhaka between April 2014 to September 2014. A total of 80 patients of chronic cholecystitis or cholelithiasis undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in SSMC MH, Dhaka were consecutively included in the study and were randomly assigned to two study groups. Patients in the study group received I/V lidocaine administration @ 3 mg/kg/h and those in the control group received normal saline (0.9% saline) in the same volume by a different observer. When compared the changes in haemodynamic variables from baseline to endpoint of the study shows that there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures except a sudden rise of the parameters at 5 minutes after induction. However, the systolic blood pressure of study group experienced a slight reduction from 30 minutes onwards to the end of the observation and differed significantly from the corresponding SBPs of the control group. The mean BP of both the groups also showed similar trend like systolic BPs.The SpO2 in both study and control groups was maintained at 99 to 100% throughout the study. The study concluded that peroperative infusion of nontoxic dose of lidocaine decreases the intensity of postoperative pain and reduces the postoperative analgesics(inj. Pethidine) requirement without causing any significant adverse effects.

Degradation of Bioplastics under the Influence of Several Environmental conditions
Authors: Rizwan Muhammad , Jamal Tabasam
Published: October 2022

The increasing threats of plastics to the natural environment encouraged the production of bio-plastics from renewable biomass resources. The premium quality of bio-plastics are mainly produced by treating starch with glycerol. Plastics are basically non-biodegradable synthetic or semi synthetic products. This study aims at analyzing the degradation patterns of bio-plastics. The bio-plastics are ecologically less toxic than the synthetic plastic materials. The bio-plastics can degrade in several environmental conditions including aquatic environment, compost and soil. The bioplastic materials are buried in composite soil or loam sand to analyze degradation activity by taking photographic data and measuring the weight. Effect of weather conditions on the degradation activity was analyzed by recording different weather conditions including temperature, humidity, rainfall sunshine intensity and duration of sunlight. The comparative results portrayed the degradation activity of bio-plastics which was accomplished through hydrophilic enzymes. The initial regenerating material absorbs moisture of soil after saturation and the weight was increased up to 87%. The weight of bio-plastics reduced steadily after the initiation of decomposition. Invasion of soil microorganisms enhance the degradation activity. The environmental features including rainfall, humidity and sunlight intensity also affects the disintegration of bioplastics. The increased intensity of sunshine increased the microbial activity of soil which in turn increased the rate of degradation of bio-plastics.

Published: October 2022

Elderly activity detection is one of the significant applications in machine learning. A supportive lifestyle can help older people with their daily activities to live their lives easier. But the current system is ineffective, expensive, and impossible to implement. Efficient and cost-effective modern systems are needed to address the problems of aged people and enable them to adopt effective strategies. Though smartphones are easily accessible nowadays, thus a portable and energy-efficient system can be developed using the available resources. This paper is supposed to establish elderly people's activity detection based on available resources in terms of robustness, privacy, and cost-effectiveness. We formulated a private dataset by capturing seven activities, including working, standing, walking, and talking, etc. Furthermore, we performed various preprocessing techniques such as activity labeling, class balancing, and concerning the number of instances. The proposed system describes how to identify and classify the daily activities of older people using a smartphone accelerometer to predict future activities. Experimental results indicate that the highest accuracy rate of 93.16% has been achieved by using the J48 Decision Tree algorithm. Apart from the proposed method, we analyzed the results by using various classifiers such as Naïve Bays (NB), Random Forest (RF), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). In the future, various other human activities like opening and closing the door, watching TV, and sleeping can also be considered for the evaluation of the proposed model.

Published: October 2022

Road Traffic Accident (RTA) is a growing public issue and fall among the four top causes of mortality and morbidity globally. The main objective of this study was to identify the causes and protective measures of road traffic accidents in Bahawalpur City. Primary data was gathered through a structured questionnaire during a field survey in selected five public places as sample sites i.e. Larry Ada, University Chowk, Bahawal Victoria Hospital (BVH), One Unit Chowk, and Melad Chowk. Secondary data of road accidents was gathered form National Highway and Motor Way Police (NH&MP) while primary data was gathered from 150 respondents (30 from each study site) and analyzed in SPSS software by applying descriptive statistics and road accident risk index (RARI). Findings revealed that the main causes of these accidents include increase in population (62.66%), increase in demand for vehicles (22%), bike drivers (69.33%), overtaking of the vehicles (51.33%), over speed and hustle to reach the destination (34.66%). One wheeling is also a major reason, which results in the death of teenage drivers (52%), violation of the traffic rules (25.33%). RARI results also suggest the relationship between the affected persons and the road traffic accidents. Lastly, few suggestions were proposed to overcome the ratio and severity of road traffic accidents because these accidents are predictable and largely preventable through multi-disciplinary coherent strategies.

Published: October 2022

Heat exchangers are employed in numerous applications of industry, automotive and air conditioning systems. The efficacy of heat exchangers depends upon various factors e.g., Reynolds number (Re) of the fluids, geometry of heat exchanging surfaces, and the Prandtl number of the cooling air. In this paper, the working of a crossflow heat exchanger with elliptical tubes is simulated numerically for 5000 < Re < 20000 at its maximum operating temperature of 323K. The tubes were arranged in a staggered way. The radical investigations were done at one-of-a-kind relative humidity ranges within the cooling air ranging from 0% to 80%. The relative humidity was modeled in the shape of mass fractions of water vapors in the air. The thermos-physical properties of dry and moist air were employed for the analysis. The impact of this changing of relative humidity on forced convection heat transfer of heat exchangers is examined in the form of percentage change in Nusselt number. With the increase in moisture content in the air, the Nusselt number was observed increased up to 4.5%. The paper provides a tool to analyze the Nusselt number of the elliptical-shaped heat exchanger while operating in moist atmospheric conditions.

Published: October 2022

With the growing number of voice-controlled devices, it is necessary to address the potential vulnerabilities of Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) against voice spoofing attacks such as Physical Access (PA) and Logical Access (LA) attacks. To improve the reliability of ASV systems, researchers have developed various voice spoofing countermeasures. However, it is hard for the voice anti-spoofing systems to effectively detect the synthetic speech attacks that are generated through powerful spoofing algorithms and have quite different statistical distributions. More importantly, the speedy improvement of voice spoofing structures is producing the most effective attacks that make ASV structures greater vulnerable to stumble on those voice spoofing assaults. In this paper, we proposed a unique voice spoofing countermeasure which is successful to hit upon the LA attacks (i.e., artificial speech and transformed speech) and classify the spoofing structures by the usage of Long Short-Term Reminiscence (LSTM). The novel set of spectral features i.e., Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Gammatone Cepstral Coefficients (GTCC), and spectral centroid are capable to seize maximum alterations present in the cloned audio. The proposed system achieved remarkable accuracy of 98.93%, precision of 100%, recall of 92.32%, F1-score of 96.01%, and an Equal Error Rate (EER) of 1.30%. Our method achieved 8.5% and 7.02% smaller EER than the baseline methods such as Constant-Q Cepstral Coefficients (CQCC) using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Linear Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (LFCC) using GMM, respectively. We evaluated the performance of the proposed system on the standard dataset i.e., ASVspoof2019 LA. Experimental results and comparative analysis with other existing state-of-the-art methods illustrate that our method is reliable and effective to be used for the detection of voice spoofing attacks.

Published: October 2022

An Automatic Vehicle Number Plate Recognition System (AVNPR) is a key research area in image processing. Various techniques are developed and tested by researchers to improve the detection and recognition rate of AVNPR system but faced problems due to issues such as variation in format, lighting conditions, scales, and colors of number plates in different countries or states or even provinces of a country. Douglas Peucker Algorithm for shape approximation has been used in this research to detect the rectangular contours and the most prominent rectangular contour is extracted as a number plate (NP) and the connected component analysis is used to segment the characters followed by optical character recognition (OCR) to recognize the number plate characters. A custom dataset of 210 vehicle images with different colors at various distances and lighting conditions was used for the proposed method captured on my smart phone Galaxy J7 Model SM-j700F at roads and parking. The dataset contains various types of vehicles (i.e. Trucks, motorcars, mini-buses, tractors, pick-ups etc). The proposed method shows an average result of 95.5%. The novelty used in this method is that it works for different colors simultaneously because in Pakistan, several colors are used for vehicle NPs.

Published: October 2022

Self-driving cars are an active area of interdisciplinary research spanning Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems, and control engineering. One crucial component needed in ensuring autonomous navigation is to accurately detect vehicles, pedestrians, or other obstacles on the road and ascertain their distance from the self-driving vehicle. The primary algorithms employed for this purpose involve the use of cameras and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Another category of algorithms consists of a fusion between these two sensor data. Sensor fusion networks take input as 2D camera images and LiDAR point clouds to output 3D bounding boxes as detection results. In this paper, we experimentally evaluate the performance of three object detection methods based on the input data type. We offer a comparison of three object detection networks by considering the following metrics - accuracy, performance in occluded environment, and computational complexity. YOLOv3, BEV network, and Point Fusion were trained and tested on the KITTI benchmark dataset. The performance of a sensor fusion network was shown to be superior to single-input networks.

Authors: dilawar usman , Khaliq Abdul , Kureshi Nadeem
Published: October 2022

Electric Load Forecasting (ELF) is one of the challenges being faced by the Power System industry. With the ever-growing consumer demand, power generating companies struggle to manage and provide an uninterrupted power supply to the users. Over the past few decades, the introduction of smart grids and power deregulation has changed load forecasting dynamics. Most of the current research focuses on short-term load forecasting (STLF), involving an hour to a week’s time forecasting. Various techniques are being used for accurately predicting the electric load. However, gold standards are yet to be defined mainly because of the subject's variety, non-linearity, and un-predictive form. In this study critical review of 25 publications has been carried out to find the most efficient method for ELF. The novelty of this study is that comparative and scientific analyses are carried out to find the most proficient techniques for load forecasting. Also, various parameters are combined for comparison in this study after analyzing published reviews on the subject. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Auto-Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) models outperform other methods basing upon statistical analysis, i.e., Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and comparative acceptance, in the research community.

Published: October 2022

Cognitive processes are constantly under critical relevance in the field of neuroscience. In the examination of Electroencephalogram (EEG) data, frequency bands are always significant because they determine how the brain responds to various activities and circumstances in different situations. However, it is usually accepted that each brain region is associated with a certain activity, such as auditory, visual, or cognitive tasks. Moreover, to retrieve additional information from the brain, it is often required to establish new neural connections. In this study, the researchers established a functional relationship between different EEG frequencies and the cognitive task under investigation. The frequencies of alpha, beta, and theta waves are often discussed in connection to cognitive tasks, but the frequency of the delta wave is seldom referenced throughout the cognitive process. We then focused on the frequency of delta waves in different parts of the brain, such as the occipital and front all regions

Published: October 2022

Wastewater from industrial discharged into other water bodies that pose serious risks to human health as well as the environment. The oil and ghee industries are also the main contributors to water pollution along with various other industries. The present study aimed to evaluate microbial load in waste water of oil industries in Lahore and its treatment using chemical and natural coagulants. Water samples were collected from three selected oil and ghee industries in Lahore. Physicochemical properties (Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Biological oxygen demand (BOD), and turbidity) and microbial contamination of water samples were analyzed before and after treatment. It was observed that samples treated with natural coagulants such as orange and banana peel, and date seeds showed a mild reduction in physicochemical parameters. Orange and banana peel coagulants caused a 30% reduction, while date seeds coagulants caused a 60% reduction in physicochemical parameters. A significant decrease in microbial load was noticed by using natural coagulants. However, for the chemical coagulants, it was observed that ferric chloride with alum and Ca+2 cation with bleaching powder caused an extreme reduction in physicochemical indicators and microbial load. While no significant decrease was observed in physicochemical indicators and microbial load when waste water samples were treated with Poly Aluminum chloride (PAC) and alum. It was concluded that chemical coagulants have a better ability to treat waste water as compared to natural coagulants.
