A Novel Method for Energy Efficient Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors:   Dept. of ECE, Dr.B.R.Ambedkar University, Etcherla., Chintada Sravani
Published: May 2024

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play a crucial role in various applications, including environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and healthcare. However, optimizing WSNs for efficient resource utilization, energy conservation, and reliable data transmission remains a challenging task due to the dynamic nature of the network environment and resource-constrained sensor nodes. In this study, we propose a Hybrid Firefly Genetic Algorithm (HFGA) for optimizing WSN performance. The HFGA combines the strengths of the firefly algorithm's global search capabilities and the genetic algorithm's local search and optimization efficiency. By integrating these two evolutionary algorithms, the HFGA aims to achieve superior performance in terms of energy efficiency, network coverage, and convergence speed. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed HFGA through extensive simulation experiments in various WSN scenarios. The results demonstrate that the HFGA outperforms traditional optimization approaches and baseline algorithms in optimizing WSN performance metrics. Furthermore, we discuss the practical implications and future research directions for deploying the HFGA in real-world WSN applications. Overall, this study contributes to advancing WSN optimization techniques and enhancing the reliability and efficiency of WSN deployments. Keywords: Clustering, Genetic algorithm, Firefly algorithm, FAG algorithm.

Development of a Sign Language recognizer using LSTM
Authors:   Acropolis Institute of Technology and Research, Jethaliya, Raghav
Published: May 2024

Sign language recognition plays a crucial role in bridging communication gaps between the deaf community and the hearing population. This paper presents the development of a sign language recognizer using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, a type of recurrent neural network well-suited for sequence prediction tasks. The proposed model aims to accurately interpret hand gestures into text, enhancing accessibility and communication for individuals with hearing impairments. Our approach utilizes a custom-built dataset of sign language gestures, which undergoes preprocessing to extract relevant features such as hand position, orientation, and movement. The LSTM-based architecture is designed to capture the temporal dynamics of these gestures, enabling the recognition of complex sign language patterns. We train the model using a supervised learning approach. Our method demonstrates superior accuracy in recognizing sign language gestures compared to traditional machine learning methods and other deep learning architectures. This advancement contributes significantly to the field of assistive technologies. Future work will explore the integration of additional modalities, such as facial expressions and body movements, to further enhance the system's performance and usability.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) are preventable and potential fatal events, frequent in critical patient care. By mid-2018 an increase was noted in the incidence rate of CLABSI at a high complexity institution in Colombia, demanding immediate interventions to lower those numbers. 
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the continuous quality improvement methodology (CQI) to lower the incidence rate of CLABSI at a university hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.
Methods: Longitudinal, prospective study implementing a multifaceted intervention in accordance with the CQI methodology. The project was developed at a high complexity university hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, between July 2018 and December 2019. A root cause analysis was consecutively conducted prioritizing contributing factors, gathering ideas for improvement, building a strategy and prioritizing the implementation plan.
Results: The CQI methodology enabled the identification of areas susceptible of catheter insertion and management errors at the institution; additionally,   it allowed for the prioritization of the areas requiring intervention through consecutive test cycles for improvement ideas.  The reduction and sustainability of insertion-related CLABSI was accomplished three months after the start of the interventions, achieving a zero value. The implementation of improvement ideas aimed at reducing the events associated with catheter maintenance was also able to reduce the incidence to zero, until the end of the period of observation of the study. 
Conclusion: It is feasible to implement CQI in settings similar to the one herein described, in order to efficiently reduce CLABSIs.

El Pilar Social como base para la resiliencia y la igualdad de condiciones en materia de derechos mínimos
Authors: NIETO ROJAS PATRICIA
Published: May 2024

El Pilar Social contiene una veintena de objetivos y derechos subjetivos que pretenden actualizar los estándares de protección social y las condiciones de trabajo para hacer frente al desempleo y la precariedad, apoyando el papel de los Estados Miembros en la configuración de sus modelos de protección social. Dada la naturaleza jurídica del pilar, los principios y derechos que en el mismo se enuncian no son directamente aplicables, sino que es necesario que se traduzcan en acciones específicas o leyes independientes. Ahora bien, aunque sea un instrumento no vinculante o de soft law, no se puede cuestionar su innegable valor político. Desde su promulgación, se han aprobado varias Directivas con contenidos laborales muy marcados que pretenden garantizar derechos mínimos en el seno de la UE al tiempo que están en fase de debate numerosas iniciativas
para el trabajo decente no solo en el espacio comunitario sino desde una perspectiva
global.
Estrategia sobre los derechos de las personas con discapacidad
Authors: CABEZA PEREIRO JAIME
Published: May 2024

La publicación del “Libro Blanco de Empleo y Discapacidad” ha supuesto un hito de gran importancia para la orientación de la política laboral de las personas con discapacidad.
En este artículo se comentan y se valoran sus aportaciones fundamentales, a través de los contenidos más importantes que incluye. A partir de la perspectiva central del derecho a la igualdad y a la no discriminación de esas personas, se formulan ciertos comentarios acerca de las políticas de empleo que han desarrollado las normas más recientes y en particular la Ley 3/2023 de 28 de febrero. Y, seguidamente, se abordan los aspectos más críticos y controvertidos en cuanto al empleo y contratación de estos colectivos: por una parte, el deber de adaptación de los puestos de trabajo, que cada vez adquiere más relieve, sobre todo a la vista de la doctrina judicial que va produciéndose por parte de los órganos internos y de la Unión Europea. Por otra, la cuota de reserva, que ha sido objeto de grandes debates acerca de su regulación en la legislación española, aunque exista un importante grado de consenso sobre la necesidad de mantenerla. Y, finalmente, la diferencia entre el empleo protegido y el empleo ordinario, que proyecta interesantes reflexiones acerca de las relaciones entre uno y otro y el papel relativo que deben tener para una mayor y mejor integración laboral de las personas con discapacidad. En el entorno de estos tópicos se analizan y discuten las propuestas de Libro Blanco y se formulan conclusiones de síntesis.

Published: May 2024

El objetivo del presente estudio fue estudiar el nivel de las interacciones (pases efectivos) de la selección argentina de fútbol mediante la técnica de análisis de redes, en el Campeonato del Mundo celebrado en Qatar en el año 2022. Para determinar las características de la red, el punto de partida fue el número de nodos (jugadores) y aristas (conexiones). Se hallaron los valores de la densidad de la red, la centralidad (Degree Centrality, Closeness Centrality y Betwenness Centrality) y el nivel de conexión (Clustering Coefficient, Hub, Athority, Eigenvector Centrality y PageRank). Asimismo, el espacio de interacción individual, con posesión y sin posesión del balón. Los resultados demuestran que la importancia de los jugadores está en función de la métrica utilizada para evaluar las características de la red, además de su posición en el campo. Los jugadores que presentaron una alta conectividad fueron los defensas centrales y centrocampistas, mientras que Messi, fue el jugador más importante cuando se utilizaron los parámetros para medir el nivel de agrupamiento. El comportamiento de la selección argentina ofreció patrones consistentes, recurrentes y singulares, si bien, el estado del marcador pudo haber sido un aspecto favorable a la hora de observar este tipo de comportamientos.

El derecho sucesorio, una rama del derecho privado, se ocupa de regular el traspaso de los bienes y derechos pertenecientes a un individuo fallecido hacia sus herederos. Este proceso, conocido como sucesión mortis causa, tiene como objetivo principal armonizar la libertad de disposición testamentaria del difunto con la salvaguardia de los herederos forzosos, aquellos que legalmente tienen derecho a recibir una porción de la herencia. Dentro del ámbito del derecho sucesorio, se establecen disposiciones normativas que rigen la distribución de los activos, así como los criterios de validez y formalidad de los testamentos. Además, se definen las legítimas, las cuales representan las porciones de la herencia destinadas a ser reservadas obligatoriamente para los herederos forzosos. Esta rama legal desempeña un papel fundamental en garantizar una distribución justa y equitativa de los bienes y derechos de una persona fallecida, al mismo tiempo que protege los derechos de los herederos forzosos y respeta la voluntad testamentaria del fallecido.

Background: Nigeria records considerable morbidity and mortality from tetanus, predominantly in newborns and women of reproductive age group. This is largely due to poor tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine (TTCV) uptake. This study investigated the factors influencing the uptake of adequate Tetanus toxoid vaccination among women in their last pregnancy in Nigeria.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study used data sets extracted from the Nigeria Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. It includes data collected from 4,855 women, aged 15-49 years across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Data analysis, chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were then performed.
Results: Out of the 4,855 women recruited, slightly half of the respondents (51.7%) were between the ages of 25 and 34. All respondents had tetanus injections, the majority of which (86.7%) were adequate. Some factors identified to influence TTCV uptake positively were younger age group (p<0.001, OR=1.377), tertiary education (p<0.001, OR=2.093), wealth (p<0.001, OR=2.217), owning an immunisation card (p<0.001, OR=0.69), exposure to radio and television (p<0.001, OR=1.749), residence in southern Nigeria (p=0.020, OR=1.571), prenatal care (p=0.019, OR=0.585) and delivery in health care facility (p<0.019, OR=0.448).
Conclusion: This study found that the TTCV uptake in Nigeria among mothers in their last pregnancy was in keeping with the standard recommended by WHO for any country aspiring to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. However, the lowest uptake was observed in the Northern region. We recommend that national policies on maternal and child care should be reviewed to improve TTCV uptake and aid the elimination of maternal and neonatal tetanus across all geopolitical zones in Nigeria.
Food Insecurities in the Anthracite

Published: May 2024

Oral histories, cookbooks, and archaeological materials provide an overview of the diet and, subsequently, the general health of the working-class community in the anthracite region. Some anthracite families spoke about being undernourished and constantly on the brink of starvation. Nevertheless, others spoke with pride of their survival techniques, such as picking berries, selling milk and butter, and sometimes raiding a neighbor's fruit trees. Families planted extensive gardens to protect themselves from lean times. Former residents spoke about having meat only on special occasions. Food insecurity had a profound impact on the historic community. It still plays out today in the form of high rates of non-infectious diseases and the region’s generally poor health and well-being standings.

This study examines the influence of capital structure, financial literacy, and technology adoption on the efficiency of financial reporting in the Indonesian Food & Beverage (F&B) sector. Using survey questionnaires and data analysis with SPSS version 26, a sample of 150 enterprises from different industrial groups was analyzed. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and mediation analysis were performed to investigate the relationships among the research variables. The findings show important positive connections between levels of financial knowledge, practices of adopting technology, and efficiency in financial reporting. However, metrics related to capital structure did not have a significant impact. Mediation research shows that financial literacy levels partly mediate the connection between technology use and financial reporting efficiency. These results highlight the significance of knowledge and skills of individuals and the technical systems in improving the way financial information is reported in the Indonesian food and beverage industry.

Root and tuber crops are food security crop and thus have wide market preference and value in many economies. However, they are constrained by a convergence of external factors that impact on their production, marketing and export potential. The study opened conversations on the market system of root and tuber crops and examined macroeconomic variables that influence Nigeria market commercialization drive and competitiveness in both regional and international trade, using cross sectional data from 1960 to 2016 sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) database and World Bank Development indicators. Analytically, the study employed econometric tools such as unit root tests, trend analysis (i.e. quadratic equation), Generalized Method of Moments, Malmquist productivity index, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. Findings revealed that macroeconomic variables of exports, imports, and inflation, exchange rate, tariff, price and world exports had long-run and short-run impacts on the exports of root and tuber crops. The study recommends market-oriented strategy by caution against protectionist led interventions such as outright ban on importation, as they impact negatively on market behaviour; rather advocated for effective policing of border to check smuggling, also improvement in policies that improve production to check price instability, which characterize root and tuber crop marketing in Nigeria. There is need for effective regulation and policies that protect risk and guarantee returns in the supply chain of root and tuber crops so that supply-chain actors can benefit substantially from international trade.

The recent national policy continues to strategize for higher value and more competitive value-added commodities, including jackfruit, particularly for the export markets. The most crucial challenge of the jackfruit industry is to maintain the fruit's quality due to its limited shelf-life and the consequences of being fragile and perishable, exposing the fruits to higher losses. Fresh jackfruit can be stored no longer than 14 days to maintain its physical and nutritional qualities, limiting not only market activities along the supply chains but also market access, particularly for export purposes that often take 30-60 days depending on the logistics and destination. In line with the market need for frozen fresh products, the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) has developed the frozen jackfruit technology using cryogenic freezing techniques as an alternative marketing solution for fresh tropical fruits. Different from other freezing techniques, cryogenic applies liquid nitrogen as a freezing agent and could extend the shelf-life up to six months, while maintaining the quality of freshness, taste, colour and most importantly, nutritional values. Previous studies revealed that rapid freezing of fruits provides better quality and improves the internal microstructure. Recent market trends showed that frozen fruit is experiencing rapid growth, becoming more aggressive and one of the most promising market segments of the agribusiness sector, as consumers are increasingly shifting toward healthier food products. Additionally, the demand for frozen fruits has shown substantial growth due to their high nutritional values, progressively being used in industry applications, and thus gaining momentum in research activities along with the growing food markets.

Soil nutrient depletion is a major threat to food security globally. The fertility status of soil forms the foundation of crop production in many small holder farm fields as nutrient element additions as inorganic, synthetic or organic fertilizers are low. Soils from small holder farmer fields were sampled individually with three (3) samples per the farmers field by three  (3) depths  of 0-30cm, 30-60 cm and 60-90cm with a population of thirty (30) farmers per council ward by three (3 )council wards only in ten (10) local government area (LGAs)) of Benue state. This paper reports for one (1) local government area - Makurdi, and one (1) depth, the topsoil (0-30cm). The study was to ascertain their nutrient status in three states in Nigeria with the creation of the first- ever digitalized and interactive nutrient elements and soil productivity index maps. We report findings for the soil nutrient status of the topsoils for Benue State as a digitalized map see link https://rb.gy/yfnz2m with focus on Makurdi local government area (LGA). The soil samples collected were geo-referenced and analyzed both insitu and in the laboratory following recommended standards for each nutrient element to define the soil nutrient status and critical limit for maize production.  Generally, soils were sandy loam at the surface (0-30cm) while it was sandy clay loam at lower depths of 60cm and 90cm. The soils had moderate acidity with low to moderate levels of nutrients. The low nutrient status of the soil key nutrients of Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, underscores the need for improved soil management practices. These findings, supports a transition from current country wide fertilizer recommendation to site -specific nutrient management. New findings reported here are location specific and will aid in the curbing of greenhouse gases emissions for a healthier planet as well as increased productivity.

The prevalence of foodborne pathogens has increased in recent years, posing a significant threat to both food safety and human health. In developing countries, the practice of sanitation and hygiene is very poor, which is a major concern. In connection with this issue, a study has been conducted to assess the presence of Shigella in meat, chicken, fish, prawns, and milk samples collected from local vendors across the city of Mumbai. Shigella was isolated using streaking and spreading methods, and several biochemical tests were performed to confirm its presence. Additionally, these samples were tested for drug resistance against various antibiotics, including ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, cefoperazone, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamycin, nalidixic acid, tetracycline, trimethoprim, and ofloxacin. In our study, we observed a higher prevalence rate of Shigella spp. in meat compared to fish, chicken, milk, and prawns. Molecular characterization of the isolates revealed a predominance of Shigella dysenteriae. These Shigella isolates demonstrated resistance to tetracycline, ampicillin, trimethoprim, nalidixic acid, cefoperazone, and erythromycin. However, they exhibited complete sensitivity to gentamycin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and chloramphenicol. The study helped us uncover the contamination rates present in the different samples, which could lead to severe health threats. Proper sanitary measures are urgently needed to address this issue.

Published: May 2024

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa teórica sobre Geografia Escolar no processo de escolarização e a importância do ensino de Geografia por meio dos conceitos geográficos, que subsidiaram uma atividade prática de ensino. Entendendo a importância da inserção e de aprofundamento epistemológico nas práticas de ensino de geografia, o texto busca, a partir de reflexões teóricas, a inclusão do conceito de Território para a investigação das dinâmicas populacionais na formação do território brasileiro, em sala de aula.  A partir disso, apresenta-se a experiência de estágio supervisionado desenvolvida no Ensino Médio, do curso de Geografia Licenciatura, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – FURG. O conceito de Território apresentado busca compreender as relações concretas e funcionais estabelecidas entre os grupos sociais e o Espaço Geográfico, sem limitar-se a isto, mas compreendendo-o também a partir de relações culturais e a pluralidade do território brasileiro, dada suas características peculiares em tamanho de área, diversidade ecossistêmica e cultural. Constatou-se que, a partir da prática de ensino desenvolvida no estágio, foi possível expandir o entendimento dos alunos sobre o próprio conceito de território e também da formação territorial do Brasil em voga, permitindo discutir sobre as categorias população e território, bem como as dinâmicas migratórias contemporâneas.
Az olvasástanítás hierarchikus ortográfiás módszere –bizonyítékok és lehetőségek
Authors: Zsuga Judit
Published: May 2024

Az olvasás az egyén tanult képessége, ami lehetővé teszi írott szöveg megértését és értelmezését. Az OECD országokban a szövegértés terén mért PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) pontszámok fokozatos romlása alapján felvethető, hogy az olvasás tanításában szükség lehet új megközelítések kidolgozására, elsősorban a jelenlegi módszerekkel rosszul boldogulók számára. Az olvasástanítás hagyományosan a hang-betű megfeleltetés (silabizálás) elsajátításával kezdődik a betűkön alapuló írásrendszert használó országokban. Magyarországon a továbblépést rendszerint az egyes szótagokat alkotó betűk hangos összeolvastatása jelenti. Az agyműködés sajátosságaira fókuszáló kutatások felvetik az ortográfiás-morfológiai szegmentálásra alapozott módszerek igen eredményesek lehetnek. A továbbiakban bemutatásra kerül egy, a betű-bigram-morféma tagoláson alapuló, jelenleg pilot szakaszban járó, ún. ortográfiás olvasástanítási módszer, ami a jelenleg ismert neurobiológiai alapokra építve az agyi ventrális vizuális feldolgozólánc sajátosságait igyekszik figyelembe venni. A módszer lényege, hogy az olvasástanulás során a teljes szavak összeolvasás során, a betű – bigram (két, az adott nyelvben gyakran egymás mellé kerülő betű) – morféma (a legkisebb, már önálló jelentéssel bíró nyelvi egység) hierarchia szerint halad a tanulás. A gyerekek kezdettől fogva összefüggő magyar szöveget olvasnak hangos olvasással, mely biztosítja, hogy a gyerekek kontextuálisan gazdag környezetben találkozzanak az írott nyelvi elemekkel. Az ortográfiás olvasástanítási módszer jelentőségét a jövőbeli kontrollált vizsgálatok eredményei dönthetik el.
