Published: June 2023

Specimen Authentication is the process used to recognize an individual's handwritten signature. The pre-process of verifying a signature is Pixel-based. There is a need for an automatic verification system for a signature since the signature has been a means of a person's identification for ages. Offline systems work on the scanned image of a signature. The main objective of the study was to design and develop a Specimen Authentication System to examine signatures. In this study, the researchers verify the off-line signatures by taking a boundary of the entire signature and make the pixel comparison. Signature is acquired using a scanner. The detection process is done after the data acquisition and pre-processing. Pre-processing includes noise removal, grey-scale, manipulation, edge detection. Experimental results show that 50% of the accurate matching with the existing one. There is an important distinction between simple signature Comparisons and dynamic signature verification. Both can be computerized, but a Simple comparison only takes into account what the signature looks like. Dynamic signature verification takes into account how the signature was made. With dynamic signature verification, it is not the shape or looks of the meaningful signature; it is the change in speed, pressure, and timing that occur during the act of signing. Consistency created by natural motion and practice over time creates a recognizable pattern that makes the hand-written signature a natural for biometric identification.

The situation of the internet nowadays is having difficulties when it comes to the reliability of the internet. One of the major problems with internet connectivity is the internet traffic which causes the internet to bug down or slow down the connection. The primary objective of this study was to provide a balance of internet bandwidth usage in accessing any internet services equally other than per priority permission in the school. The proponents conclude that Adaptive Equalization Algorithms can really equalize the internet bandwidth of every user that is connected to the internet. Equalization of the internet helps a lot to the users for the reason that they have equal bandwidth of internet so in this case, it can lessen the user's internet traffic and also it can result to decreasing population of what we called “starvation effect” or hungry of internet connection. It was recommended that a physical server should a three-tier machine for the fast response time of the system, and also the back-up system should have external to avoid or prevent an accident for the loss of data and also to secure the important data's. The researchers recommend for the administration that the network monitoring should be a manufactured device.

Methods: A case of adult-onset macular dystrophy was observed with BCAMD associated with the IS/OS-Ellipsoid zone complex anomaly by CFP, OCT, en-face analysis, FA and FAF, etc. Results: CFP revealed concentric rings in the parafoveal area prominent and drusen in the macula of right eye and not concentric rings in the left eye. No concentric ring changes were observed in FA and FAF. En-face analysis found that the IS/OS-Ellipsoid complex was obviously abnormal. Although the left eye did not show the concentric ring-like changes in the CFP, but IS/OS-Ellipsoid complex was abnormal with semi-annular blotch-like dark areas. Conclusion: BCAMD is a rare macular dystrophy. En-face analysis found that the IS/OS-Ellipsoid complex was obviously abnormal.
Framing in Times of Crisis: Responses to COVID-19 Amongst Far Right Movements and Organisations
Authors: McNeil-Wilson Richard
Published: June 2023

"This paper examines various framing processes have been developed by Far Right groups specifically in response to the global health crisis brought about by the spread of COVID-19. Through an examination of statements by six Identitarian and National Socialist movement organisations issued over a two month period from late February to late April 2020 on the open source platform Telegram, six ‘crisis frames’ were identified which extended central Far Right ideological ideas and cast COVID-19 as directly linked to concepts of migration, globalisation, governance, liberty, resilience and conspiracy. As well as identifying the crisis frames used by Far Right, this paper found that these Far Right groups emphasised engagement in activity designed to develop community resilience and – in contrast to initial commentary by analysts – conspiracy theories and practices of misinformation were largely not used. These findings suggest that the early stages of the COVID crisis has seen a shift by certain Far Right groups not towards practices of encouraging violent contention but rather using propaganda to emphasise their contribution in supporting the family unit, communities and the nation, against the failures of authorities in dealing with the virus. This paper represents an early foray into understanding the development of contemporary ‘crisis frames’ within the Far Right, highlighting the interactive processes that take place between Far Right groups, global events and authorities"

Published: June 2023

East Java also has a shallot production center, namely in the Probolinggo area. Generally, residents of the Probolinggo area make a living as farmers. The land cultivated as agricultural land is generally one's own. The area of land owned by farmers is in the range of 0.25 meters to above 1 hectare. The land is generally used to cultivate horticultural crops, especially shallots. This farmer in Probolinggo chose the cultivation of shallot crops because it has high economic value and growing potential. Onion plants are vegetable crops in the form of bulbs with high economic value, because almost every household consumer needs them. This shallot can be used as a seasoning in cooking or as medicine. As a result, the need for shallots has increased so that many farmers cultivate onion crops intensively. Currently, the cultivation of onion plants is experiencing disturbances due to the attack of moler disease caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cepae (FoCe). FoCe fungus is a fungus that causes moler disease in onion crops. The disease can affect both the roots and bulbs of onions. Symptoms caused by onion plants are rotting of the roots so that they are easily removed, leaves drooping, twisting, shriveling, and rotting, as well as rotting of the bulbs and there is a white fungus that can cause the onion plant to die. This fungus can be transmitted from one plant to another through the soil.This study was conducted to determine the development of F.oxysporum disease in the onion production center in Probolinggo Regency. This research was conducted in several sub-districts, namely in Pajarakan District, Gending District, and Dringu District. Data collection on the development of moler disease using qualitative data from interviews with onion growers. The data used is in the form of observations of the impact of moler disease which is common to attack onion plants. The variables asked during the interview were the symptoms of moler disease that occurs when attacking onion plants, the factors causing the spread of moler disease in shallots, and the impact of moler disease attacks on onion plants. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive to describe the development and characteristics of the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. The results showed that the development of moler disease in shallot production centers in Probolinggo Regency, especially in Pajarakan District, Gending District, and Dringu District, has a high incidence and severity of the disease. This is caused by internal factors such as the selection of varieties that are less resistant and the presence of external factors such as the tendency of farmers not to spray fungicides on planting. The characteristics of the fungus F. oxysporum observed in PDA media by taking onion samples in three districts, namely pajakan, gending and drigu, have a white color at the beginning of development and subsequently yellow or cream, shaped like cotton and circular.

Published: June 2023

The study is devoted to the analysis of the history of the emergence of educational institutions with teaching in Russian on the territory of modern Kazakhstan. The history of higher and secondary educational institutions, thanks to which the Russian language was introduced and successfully functions in Kazakhstan, is briefly traced. The first pro-gymnasium was opened in the city of Verny on September 7, 1876. Primary schools were opened in many villages, settlements, auls. After the revolution of 1917, the Autonomous Kirghiz Socialist Soviet Republic was formed, in which the education system began to develop. In 1925 it was renamed the Kazak ASSR. An undesirable homonymy arose in the Russian language: the Turkic people and the ethnographic group (sub-ethnos) of the Russian people were called the same. To avoid it, the Kazakh sound [қ] in the weak position of the end of the word was reflected in Russian as [х]. In 1936, the Russian name of the people and the republic took on the form of the Kazakhs, the Kazakh ASSR. In the Kazakh language, the words Qazakhtar, Qazakhstan continued to be used. In 1928, the Kazakh State University was established, which was transformed into the Kazakh Pedagogical Institute two years later. Then a number of universities appeared in the capital of Alma-Ata. In 1934, the opening of the Kazakh State University took place. In 2007, the President of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev proposed to implement the “Trinity of Languages” project, which provides for the functioning of three languages in the country: Kazakh, Russian and English. The Kazakh language is included in it as the state language, Russian as the language of interethnic communication, and English as the language of integration into the world economy and the world community. At present, the Russian language continues to be used in the communicative space of Kazakhstan, it retains its role as the language of international organizations: the CIS, the SCO, the OCST. The role of the Russian language is preserved in various areas: educational institutions of Kazakhstan, in the scientific environment of Kazakh scientists, in social and political life.
The significance of the scientific works of Professor V.G. Rudelev. Creation and development of the parts of speech theory
Authors: Serebrennikova Nadezhda G.
Published: June 2023

The role played by the dynamic theory of parts of speech, created by Professor V.G. Rudelev, in the studies of the Tambov linguistic school. The part-of-speech theory used within the framework of the Tambov linguistic school is considered. Particular attention is paid to the information-theoretical method. Examples of oppositions and neutralizations within the framework of part-of-speech theory are given. The content of scientific works in which this theory was developed is analyzed. It is concluded that the dynamic theory of parts of speech made it possible not only to present the part-of-speech model as a system in which the hierarchy of each element was established, but also subsequently led to the solution of a number of fundamentally important problems that would have been impossible to describe without the use of new approaches, for example , in the field of poetics or the interaction of figurative and expressive means. The opposing method can be widely used in any language area, for example, in the literary texts analysis, in the study of figurative and expressive means.
Sociohistorical perspective as a parameter of linguistic research (based on us campaign posters)
Authors: Bukina Anna V.
Published: June 2023

The study is devoted to the description of the sociohistorical aspects of the US political discourse on the example of propaganda posters. The purpose of the study is to consider the prospects of using the historical approach in discursive analysis, in particular, to justify the relevance of studying units of political discourse from a sociohistorical perspective. A hypothesis has been put forward about the relevance of parametric analysis methods, which allow avoiding subjective or incorrect interpretation in the analysis of political texts, which are a complex object of linguistic research. Using the methods of parametric analysis, implicit and explicit ways of actualizing the sociohistorical perspective in a political text are identified and described, which can take the form of intertextual and interdiscursive means. The analysis of the material revealed difficulties in interpreting those political messages, the meaning of which is due to the extralinguistic factor. The multimodal aspect of the transmission of information that occurs through verbal and non-verbal information channels is considered. The importance of including a sociohistorical parameter in the linguo-stylistic analysis of political discourse, which is characterized by an inextricable link with the historical moment and social practices, is proved, and the role of background knowledge as an integral component of the professional competence of a researcher in the interpretation of political texts is emphasized.
Cognitive imbalance problems in news reports of media reports
Authors: Trofimova Galina N. , Savastenko Roman A.
Published: June 2023

We consider the problem of linguistic representation of events, which consists in the discrepancy between the meaning and content of the title and the main text of publication, as a result of which metamorphoses of network media image arise. The study is devoted to the phenomenon of functional-semantic incongruence of the title and text, which distorts the media images of events that form the information agenda of popular news feeds and online media on the Internet. A number of publications from various popular online media, selected by rating indicators, are analyzed. The main attention is paid to news publications in which the meanings of the title contradict the semantic content of the main text. As a result of a comprehensive content analysis of numerous examples, significant semantic differences between headlines and full texts of the media are identified and described, the main linguistic causes of these contradictions and semantic shifts leading to functional losses are determined. The linguistic problems of perception and the impact of such media images on the mass audience are identified and emphasised. Particular attention is paid to the fact that such changes can lead to serious violations of the information picture of the day and distort it. Methods for determining the degree of incongruence are proposed. Based on the identification of the functional-semantic incongruence of the title and the main text of the news message, the principles for determining the level of clickbaitness, the toxicity coefficient are proposed. Based on the study of news reports in the online media, it is established that such a functional-semantic incongruence of the linguistic representation of events has a significant impact on the state of the linguistic and information security of the entire Internet space and its users. The results of the study can be used by scientists in the field of mass communication, mass media, journalism, as well as practitioners in the field of creative industries, which include media production.

A Study on the Role and Potential of Oral Literature Classes as a University Major Education
Authors:   The Research Of The Korean Classic, Hong Na-rae
Published: June 2023

This paper reviews the current issues of the oral Literature course, based on the Korean Oral Literature course at Ewha Womans University, and proposes plans with cases in order to raise the possibilities and objectives of Korean oral Literature as a university major. The 15-week Korean oral Literature course covers various genres such as folk narratives, Shaman’s songs(muga), folk songs, pansori, and folk plays. Because the regions, histories and genres of works are diverse, works and topics are selected according to the professor’s teaching goal. In terms of students, in addition to Korean Literature majors, students from other departments with interests in classics, contents, and oral language, and as the proportion of foreign students increases in the university, foreign students are also increasing in the Korean Oral Literature course. Even if the aspects of utilization are highlighted in the curriculum due to the change in the university, the study of Korean traditional literature should aim for the social values ​​that we dream of. Since the research on Oral literature started as research on folk/minority literature, we should consider its basic nature while considering the collective wisdom and symbolic value creation of the community. In addition, we must consider the locality and reality as a genre that is still alive. In the class, students were encouraged to pre-learn videos and materials before the class, and each genre was arranged with group presentations and discussions to dynamically construct the class. In the situation where foreign students are increasing, comparative literary perspectives were used to lead their participation and review the universality and specificity of Korean oral literature, and cultural perspectives were used to interpret Korean oral literature in different eras and cultural regions. This not only deepens our understanding of Korean oral literature, but also moves towards deepening our understanding of humans and society by analyzing current social and cultural phenomena from the perspective of Korean oral literature, challenging familiar situations and values. Thus, Korean oral classes that focus on our daily lives and stories should expand their academic role even in the midst of university change.

Published: June 2023

This work proposes a metaheuristic-based approach for hyperparameter selection in a multilayer perceptron to classify electromyographic signals. The main goal of the study is to improve the performance of the model by optimizing four important hyperparameters: the number of neurons, the learning rate, the epochs, and the training batches. The approach proposed in this work shows that hyperparameter optimization using particle swarm optimization and gray wolf optimizer significantly improves the performance of a multilayer perceptron for classifying EMG motion signals. The final model achieved an average classification rate of 93% for the validation phases. The results obtained are promising and suggest that the proposed approach may be helpful for the optimization of deep learning models in other signal processing applications.

Nowadays, the selection of web services with uncertain quality of service (QoS) is gaining a lot of attention in the service-oriented computing paradigm (soc). In fact, searching for a service composition that fulfills a complex user’s request is known to be NP-Complete. The search time is mainly dependent on the number of the requested tasks, the size the available services, and the size of the QoS realizations (i.e., sample size). To handle this problem, we propose a two-stage approach that reduces the search space using heuristics for ranking the tasks’ services and a bat algorithm metaheuristic for selecting the final near optimal compositions. The fitness used by the metaheuristic aims to fulfill all the global constraints of the user. The experimental study shows that the ranking heuristics, termed “fuzzy pareto dominance” and "Zero-order stochastic dominance", are highly effective than the other heuristics and most of the existing state-of-the-art methods.

Cell-free massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) has the potential of providing joint services including joint initial access, efficient clustering of access points (APs) and pilot allocation to user equipments (UEs) over large coverage area with reduced interference. In cell-free massive MIMO, large coverage area corresponds to provision and maintenance of scalable quality of service requirements for infinitely large number of UEs. The research in cell free massive MIMO is mostly focused on time division duplex mode due to availability of channel reciprocity which aids in avoiding feedback overhead. However, frequency division duplex (FDD) protocol still dominates the current wireless standards and the provision of angle reciprocity aids in reducing this overhead. The challenge of providing a scalable cell-free massive MIMO system in FDD setting is also prevalent, since computational complexity regarding signal processing tasks such as channel estimation, precoding/combining and power allocation, becomes prohibitively high with increase in number of UEs. In this work, we consider an FDD based scalable cell-free network with angular reciprocity and dynamic cooperation clustering approach. We have proposed scalability for our FDD cell-free and perform comparative analysis with reference to channel estimation, power allocation and precoding/combining techniques. We present expressions for scalable spectral efficiency, angle based precoding/combining schemes and provide comparison of overhead between conventional and scalable angle based estimation as well as combining schemes. Simulations confirm that the proposed scalable cell-free network based on FDD scheme outperforms the conventional matched filtering scheme based on non-scalable precoding/combiming schemes. The angle based LP-MMSE in FDD cell-free network provides 14.3% improvement in spectral efficiency and 11.11% improvement in energy efficiency compared to non-scalable MF scheme.

Our research aimed to explore how resolving periodontal inflammation impacts cytokine expression in the colon of aged Wistar rats. Animal studies have been used to investigate the two-way relationship between periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), where chronic inflammation in either the mouth or intestines can negatively affect the other. We allocated sixteen male Wistar rats, aged between 8-11 months, into four groups: (1) Ligature-induced periodontitis (LIP) without the resolution of periodontal inflammation (RPI) (LIP; n=4), (2) LIP + RPI (n=4), (3) LIP + DSS-induced colitis (DIC) without RPI (n=4), and LIP+DIC+RPI (n=5). We performed histopathological and immunological analyses on the periodontal and intestinal tissues and analysed cytokine expressions using a Rat Cytokine 23-Plex Immunoassay. Our findings showed that animals with and without DIC who underwent RPI showed significantly lower levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, IL-18, and TNF-α in the intestine compared to those without treatment. The RPI effectively reduced the number of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria and restored the epithelial barrier in the intestine in animals with DIC. The resolution of periodontal inflammation significantly reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the intestine of aged rats with and without DSS-induced colitis.
Modern Optimization Algorithm for Improved Performance of Maximum Power Point Tracker of Partially Shaded PV Systems
Authors: Eltamaly Ali M.
Published: June 2023

Because of the rapid advancement in the use of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems, it has become critical to look for ways to improve the energy generated by them. The extracted power from the PV modules is proportional to the output voltage. The relationship between output power and array voltage has only one peak under uniform irradiance, whereas it has multiple peaks under partial shade circumstances (PSC). There is only one global peak (GP) and many local peaks (LPs), where the typical maximum power point trackers (MPPT) may become locked in one of the LPs, significantly reducing the PV system's generated power and efficiency. The metaheuristic optimization algorithms (MOAs) solved this problem, albeit at the expense of the convergence time, which is one of these algorithms' key shortcomings. Most MOAs attempt to lower the convergence time at the cost of the failure rate and the accuracy of the findings because these two factors are interdependent. To address these issues, this work introduces the dandelion optimization algorithm (DOA), a novel optimization algorithm. The DOA's convergence time and failure rate are compared to other modern MOAs in critical scenarios of partial shade PV systems to demonstrate the DOA's superiority. The results obtained from this study showed substantial performance improvement compared to other MOAs, where the convergence time is reduced to 0.4 s with zero failure rate compared to 0.9 s, 1.25 s, and 0.43 s for other MOAs under study. The optimal number of search agents in the swarm, optimal initialization of search agents, and optimal design of the dc-dc converter is introduced for optimal MPPT performance.

Published: June 2023

This study evaluates the agricultural carbon emission efficiency of Shandong Province from 2011 to 2020 using the DEA-SBM model. The nexus between endogenous and exogenous variables is estimated using the Tobit model. The findings reveal an overall increasing trend in agricultural carbon emissions, with significant variations in efficiency values among different cities, leading to a severe polarization. Spatial evaluation shows a high distribution trend in the central region and low in the eastern and western regions of Shandong Province. The empirical tests conducted for Shandong Province and its three regions indicate that urbanization plays a major role in sup-porting the growth of agricultural carbon emission efficiency, while the education level of the la-bor force has a suppressive impact. Economic development and crop cultivation structure, how-ever, have no significant influence. The impact of these variables varies across the eastern, central, and western regions. The proposed countermeasures include improving planting structure and reducing brain drain in the eastern region, strengthening agricultural and rural inputs and in-creasing the added value of agricultural products in the central region, and intensifying the link-age between urbanization and industrial layout in the western region to reduce agricultural car-bon emissions efficiency in Shandong Province.
