Hybridized Deep Neural Network Using Adaptive Rain Optimizer Algorithm for Multi-Grade Brain Tumor Classification of MRI Images
Authors: Sasank V. V. S. , Venkateswarlu S.
Published: January 2022

Classification of brain tumor is highly significant in the medical field in real-world to improve the progress of treatments. The seriousness behind the tumors are normally graded based on the size into grade I, grade II, grade III and grade IV. This is where the process of multi-grade brain tumor classification gains attention. Thus, the article focusses on classifying the brain MRI images into four different grades by proposing a novel and a very efficient classification strategy with high accuracy. The acquired images are pre-processed with the help of an Extended Adaptive Wiener Filter (EAWF) and then segmented using the piecewise Fuzzy C- means Clustering (piFCM) technique. Then the most ideal features such as the texture, intensity and shape features that can best explain the growth of tumors are extracted using the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and the Hybrid Local Directional Pattern with Gabor Filter (HLDP-GF) techniques. After extracting the ideal features, the Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO) method has been introduced to optimally select the most relevant features. Finally, a Hybrid Deep Neural Network with Adaptive Rain Optimizer Algorithm (HDNN- AROA) is proposed to classify the grades of brain tumors with high accuracy and efficiency. The proposed technique has been compared with the existing state-of-the-art techniques relevant to brain tumor classification in terms of accuracy, precision, recall and dice similarity coefficient to prove the overall efficiency of the system.

Buddhism: An Ancient Point In The China - India Synergy
Authors: Raushan Kumar  , Nasan Bayar  , Ravindra Kumar
Published: January 2022

For both China and India, Buddhism is a useful enhancer of cultural soft power. The religion has, over the past decade, increased in importance for India as New Delhi tries to reenergize the religious tradition and integrate it into the country’s cultural strength; for China, meanwhile, Buddhism is animportant means of soothing domestic discontent and staving off risks to its territorial integrity. This article finds how Buddhism has strengthen the bilateral ties between two countries. Buddhism, which China has begun describing as an “ancient Chinese religion”, and India which has started to incorporate genuine spiritual elements, now operates as a tool of synergise cooperation amongst two nations. Also, as both seek influence among Buddhist countries and international Buddhist organisations, this article finds that whether use of Buddhism by different means is straightforwardly tactical and influential enough or not.

Justice Delayed is Justice Denied: the Role of Justice in Pakistani Society, an Overview
Authors: Riffat Iqbal  , Anila Yasmin
Published: January 2022

The present study aims to present an overview of the role of justice in Pakistani society. Any society whether the family, the community, a nation or the world, benefits from having justice as a prevailing virtue. Such a society is dedicated to the notion that all of its members should benefit, and no one person or group should have a greater benefit or rights than another. Conversely, no person or group should be denied similar benefits to those that another group enjoys. Justice means punishing actions or words that are wrong and upholding things that are good. This helps ensure that wrongs will be ended and rights will be upheld thereby leading to a safer society for everyone. It is important to remember that justice is directly influenced by the ethics and values of each culture. This study highlights the basic flaws of the Pakistani justice system and gives suggestions to reform the justice system of Pakistan.

Authors: Liu Yajie  , Saad Munir  , Xu Lingling  , Hua Fang
Published: January 2022

It is well known that bacteria produce short-chain organic acids and element-specific ligands (siderophores) that are able to change pH and enhance chelation, which results in increased mobilization of uranium. This research work represents the extraction of Uranium by Siderophores (bio-products) producing microbial species Myroides Odoratimimus, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, and Pseudomonas Fluorescens were incubated in a chemically defined medium supplemented with uranium ore. Batch leaching tests were performed in neutral conditions for 7 days. With Myroides Odoratimimus, uranium was leached out in test about 20 mg/L, with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, it was about 12 mg/L and with Pseudomonas Fluorescens it was about 10 mg/L. Uranium extraction with Myroides odoratimimus was higher as compared to others was due to the production of greater siderophores as compared to the other two strains. This comparative study showed that the strain produced greater siderophores production leached out more uranium as compared to other strains. For future suggestions, better siderophores producing bacterial strains may be used at an industrial scale to extract heavy metals like uranium.

Urban Design of On-Street Stops and Road Environments: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: Ajayi A. S
Published: January 2022

Transit stops should be situated where they are convenient to use and the safety of passengers and alternative road users has been taken into consideration. A review of the literature has indicated that there are some important factors that should be taken into consideration at the design and planning stage. These factors have been found to have the ability to influence the location of a transit stop and transit shelter. The underlying focus of this paper is that on-street stops and their connecting roads are viewed as a holistic environment, instead of an ordinary place or location for transit modes to make a stop. This environment includes elements such as Accessibility through street connectivity, street, and road design, and transit stops design. This paper develops a conceptual model that links the various variables together, highlighting how one affects the other and their impact on the overall ability to produce a good passenger experience, which is the fundamental goal of any successful on-street stop design. This paper concludes that transit stops are easier to locate when there is high street connectivity which determines to a large extent how transit passengers gain access to transit service. Also, proper design and configuration of on-street stops and connecting roads lead to increased safety, thereby leading to increased ridership and revenue and also impact how everyone on the street interacts with the transit system.

The study conducted to determine the rice harvest for the 2011-2012 agricultural season, harvest contribution to the food availability of the households until the next harvest, identified the main constraints facing by the farmers during the season, and assess mitigating factors to overcome constraints. The survey revealed that 59% of farmers were land tenants while 20% of farmers indicated they were landowners of the land they cultivated and 21% of farmers were landless. The average production per hectare was 20.71 bags. The main factors that have contributed to very low production were the attack from pests and diseases (84%), inadequate farming technique were farmers still applying traditional farming system (trampling) due to lack of appropriate training, lack of capital to pay for proper plugging and irrigation, crop maintenance and fertilization. Farmers' own produced food lasted only an average of 5.86 months. Another source of food was like the purchase of it on local market or store (71%), rely on food casual labor or daily works (49%), taking debts from relatives (37%), selling of livestock to buy food (15%), relying on the gift (9%) and consume seeds stocks (9%) will be among the strategies to allow farmers to live up to the next harvest.

Authors: Ahmad Nabi  , Xiaodong Liu  , Abbas Ali  , Umair Khalil
Published: January 2022

The dream of accurate and reliable earthquake prediction has not yet come true; however, state-of-the-art knowledge enables humanity to at least recognize earthquake-prone areas. In this regard, neotectonic studies have been conducted in the Karachi, Gadap, and Hub areas to locate earthquake environmental effects (EEE) and to assess the seismic potential. Possible active faults manifestation were studied in the recent sediments to understand the intensity of seismic activity. Southern Pakistan has experienced some major and strong earthquakes in the past such as the Makran-1945, Anjar-1956, Bhuj-2001, and Awaran-2013 with magnitude 7.0 – 7.7Mw. However, only ground shaking was observed in the southern inner part of the Karachi Arc area and no EEEs such as neotectonic deformation features, surface ruptures, and liquefaction were observed during the major and strong earthquakes caused by the distant seismogenic sources. The lithological studies of the Quaternary sediments exposed in the Karachi, Gadap, and Hub areas have not revealed the existence of any distortion, offset in the sedimentary strata, paleo-liquefaction, and fault propagation. It indicates the absence of seismogenic sources and no strong or major earthquakes have been occurring in this area in the Quaternary time except a few minor to light (magnitude: 3-4.9Mw) crustal-scale earthquakes.

A RENDA DA TERRA E OS NOVOS PADRÕES DE OCUPAÇÃO URBANA EM ALFENAS-MG
Authors: Branquinho Evânio dos Santos
Published: January 2022

RESUMO: Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar a intensa expansão urbana verificada em Alfenas-MG nas duas últimas décadas e as formas de ocupação resultantes. O grande número de empreendimentos imobiliários tanto populares quanto de alto padrão indica a expansão extensiva da mancha urbana, onde se constatam processos de especulação imobiliária e novas formas de segregação socioespacial. A lógica e a exploração da renda da terra urbana, associadas à financeirização, são fatores importantes de direcionamento do crescimento urbano. Nesse sentido, pode-se afirmar que se a cidade cresce “desordenada” pela ação ineficaz do poder público, esta acaba sendo “ordenada” pela ações e interesses dos empreendedores imobiliários. No âmbito epistemológico, procura-se verificar os limites da teoria da renda da terra formulada em Marx em relação à dinâmica do mercado imobiliário atual. Portanto, torna-se importante caracterizar a dinâmica desses agentes produtores do espaço urbano e as contradições entre o valor de uso e o valor de troca da terra urbana, e as particularidades que esse processo assume na cidade de Alfenas-MG, considerando como uma cidade de porte médio, tanto em termos morfológicos quanto funcionais.

Authors: Marcos Aline da Silva Xavier , Rubira Felipe Gomes , Pisani Rodrigo José
Published: January 2022

Fatores genéticos do ambiente físico-natural podem apresentar características frágeis, suscetíveis a ocorrência de processos de degradação. Tal fato, associado à ocupação humana desordenada, agrava a fragilidade desses ambientes naturais. A partir dessas premissas, esta pesquisa objetiva classificar, mapear e analisar a fragilidade ambiental da bacia do ribeirão do Escalvado (MG) a partir da proposta metodológica de Ross (2012). Para tanto, foram realizados mapeamentos de variáveis relacionadas à declividade, drenagem, solos, geologia, dissecação do relevo e uso da terra. Estes parâmetros foram sobrepostos por meio de análise ponderada associada ao método de processo hierárquico analítico (AHP). Os resultados da sobreposição entre as variáveis naturais resultaram na distinção de classes de fragilidade potencial média (86,49%), forte (11,38%) e baixa (2,13%). Com relação à fragilidade emergente, a partir do cruzamento com as classes de uso da terra, obteve-se resultados que evidenciaram predomínio de classe de fragilidade emergente forte (64,85%), fraca (21,47%), muito forte (8,11%), média (4,69%) e muito fraca (0,88%). Concluiu-se que os ambientes frágeis da bacia se apresentaram condizentes tanto com sua historicidade relacionada à ocupação da sociedade, quanto à evolução geocronológica do sistema natural.

Published: January 2022

O aperfeiçoamento profissional em educação ambiental é um aspecto que permite que o professor desenvolva as condições necessárias para refletir sobre a sua prática e realizar mudanças, na tentativa de oferecer a seus alunos uma abordagem ambiental cada vez mais qualitativa. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar os aspectos de formação profissional dos docentes do ensino fundamental (6º ao 9º ano) das escolas municipais da sede de Acaraú-CE para se abordar os conceitos de educação ambiental. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e foi realizado com 60 docentes de seis escolas municipais de ensino fundamental da sede da cidade de Acaraú-CE, por meio da aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado relacionado aos aspectos de formação e aperfeiçoamento docente na área de educação ambiental e afins. Verificou-se que a maior parte dos docentes não possui formação pedagógica voltada para a educação ambiental, o que reduz as estratégias, os recursos e as metodologias relacionadas com a temática, limitados principalmente pela disponibilidade de tempo, rotina acelerada das escolas e pela baixa oferta de cursos direcionados à formação ambiental.

Authors: Garcia Maria de Fátima , Morais de Souza Nathany
Published: January 2022

Este estudo objetiva investigar a prática e as consequências do bullying no ambiente escolar em uma escola pública de ensino localizada no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. A pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa exploratória, adotou os recursos procedimentais da observação, aplicação de questionário aos alunos e entrevista semiestruturada aos gestores. Ao final do estudo, apontam-se alguns resultados, tais como: As práticas de bullying adentram os muros da escola e se fazem presentes na vida dos estudantes de forma traumatizante; Cem por cento dos alunos pesquisados foram vítimas de bullying e destes, quarenta e três por cento relatam se sentirem medrosos e assustados no ambiente escolar enquanto outros silenciam e não revelam aos adultos a perseguição sofrida. E, por fim, trinta e seis por cento afirmaram o desejo de abandonar a escola em decorrência das violências sofridas pelo bullying. Com base nas evidências são apontadas possibilidades de práticas a serem adotadas pela escola com vistas a uma educação emancipatória, sem espaço para qualquer tipo de violência. Vítimas de bullying na infância podem demonstrar comprometimento dos rendimentos escolares, e, possivelmente, há abertura de brechas a transtornos psíquicos na vida adulta em consequência desse tipo de violência, ao que se sugere, em continuidade a esta pesquisa, estudos de caráter longitudinal.

The purpose of this study was to describe students' metacognition in solving mathematical problems in terms of learning styles. The method in this research is descriptive qualitative. The subjects in this study were students. Data collection techniques used are questionnaires, tests and interviews. The analysis technique used consists of three components, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that there are differences in students' metacognition processes, namely: a) The metacognitive process of visual students is moderate. It can be seen when students plan, use information from problems to answer questions well. When monitoring, students check the information obtained when solving a given problem. When evaluating, students are incomplete in writing the final results at the conclusion. b) The process of auditory students' metacognition is lacking. It can be seen when students plan, do not draw and write down the information provided. When monitoring, students check the information obtained when solving a given problem. When evaluating, students re-check the completion that has been done but the final result is incomplete. c) High kinesthetic students' metacognition process. It can be seen when students plan, explain and write down what is in the problem, describe and write down what is known and asked about the problem. When monitoring, students choose the concept of completion correctly, apply the information obtained to concepts that have been thought out and are thorough in answering questions and believe that the answer process is correct. When evaluating, accuracy in writing the final results that have been done rightly and correctly.

How Does Bank Competition Affect Banking Stability? The Case of an Emerging Market
Authors: Ghaleb Al-Azzam Moath , Tayem Ghada
Published: January 2022

This paper examines the role of interbank competition on banking stability in Jordan, an emerging market. Using competition estimates measured by Lerner index, the paper examines the impact of competition on two important dimensions of banking stability, namely, credit risk and liquidity risk. The empirical results suggest that the effect of banking competition on stability differs according to the dimension of stability. After controlling for bank-level control variables and macroeconomic conditions, the empirical results of the impact of market power measured by Lerner index on credit risk show that an increase in price competition leads to more risk taking from banks. On the other hand, the impact of price competition on the second dimension of banking stability (liquidity risk) implies that an increase in price competition improves the liquidity position of banks. However, these results hold only for the sample of non-Islamic banks. Islamic banks may face wider mismatch between its assets and liabilities due to its inability to use conventional debt instruments offered by the market and hence it keeps larger cash buffers to compensate for this extra risk.
