Deep Learning Approach to Forecasting Dengue Cases in Davao City Using Long Short-term Memory (LSTM)
Authors: Ligue Kim Dianne , Ligue Kristine Joy
Published: September 2022

Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted viral disease that causes mild to severe infection. In the tropics, the risk of high infection is driven by factors that influence its vector’s population density such as meteorological variables and unplanned rapid urbanization. In the Philippines, dengue remains endemic in all regions reporting hundreds of thousands of cases annually. The continuous development of data-based infectious disease prediction models plays a vital role in overcoming this persistent adversity. This study explored the application of artificial intelligence (AI) through a deep learning approach using the long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture in our prediction model. This is compared with the traditional feed-forward network approach using a multilayer perceptron (MLP) model and a statistical approach using non-seasonal and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). The forecasting models predicted the monthly number of reported dengue cases in Davao City using temperature, rainfall, relative humidity, and previous monthly cases. Model performance was evaluated using the root mean square error (RMSE). The LSTM model recorded the highest accuracy among the models, reporting two times lower RMSE than the MLP model and four times lower RMSE than the statistical models. This result demonstrated the feasibility of deep learning techniques to capture nonlinear characteristics of data and the ability of the LSTM to effectively incorporate information from longer past periods in its prediction.
NSIC Rc222-derived Mutants Characterized for Field Performance Identifying Putative Complete Submergence Tolerant Lines
Authors: Cabusora Christopher , Buluran Rj , Desamero Nenita
Published: September 2022

In the 2019 dry season (DS) 18 genotypes – comprised of 13 mutant lines derived from seed mutation of NSIC Rc222, four check varieties, and one wildtype – were evaluated for field performance under submergence stress (STR) and non-stress irrigated (NSTR) condition in comparison to checks and wildtype to determine the effect of submergence to agronomic traits, grain yield, and yield components. Submergence was imposed at 21 d after transplanting (DAT) and lasted for 8 d. Survival of the mutant lines was comparable to the tolerant check FR13A, IR64-Sub1, and PSB Rc68, as well as to the wildtype NSIC Rc222. Variance component analysis showed that variation observed among the genotypes for all traits evaluated was due to the growing condition. Significant effect of submergence stress on agronomic traits, grain yield, and yield components was observed, with seven mutant lines yielding significantly higher than the checks and wildtype under stress. Promising stress-tolerant mutant lines – with comparable performance under NSTR and superior performance under STR to the checks and wildtype – were identified, viz. Sub 100, 101, 104, 105, and 110. These mutant lines can serve as possible donors of genes for tolerance to submergence stress or can be developed directly as varieties for registration and release for commercial cultivation.

Published: September 2022

Plant oils derived from medicinal herbs have furnished bioactive synergistics, as well as antibacterial and antifungal properties. The study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of essential oils (EOs) against Cutibacterium acnes and to analyze the chemical compositions of the effective oils. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with duplications. Three EOs obtained from Allium sativum (garlic), Gardenia jasminoides (gardenia), and Hedychium coronarium (hydechium) cultivated in Thailand were tested for antibacterial activity using an agar well diffusion assay and the macro-dilution method. The chemical compositions of the selected oil were determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). To compare the data, Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) was performed, and significance was determined at the p < 0.05 level. The results showed that garlic oil had the highest potent inhibitory zone on C. acnes, according to the findings. As a bactericidal, garlic oil had MIC and MBC values of 0.39 and 0.78 mg/mL, and even a MIC index (MBC/MIC) of 4. Diallyl thiosulfinate (allicin) (20.53%), 1,3-dithiane (12.53%), cyclic octaatomic sulfur (5.02%), 1,4-dihydro-2,3-benzoxathiin-3-oxide (4.73%), and carvone (3.40%) were the major components of garlic oil. The results suggest that garlic oil might be used to develop topical anti-acne treatments.

Published: September 2022

In the Philippines, economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates a digital shift for businesses. Through this innovation, their operations can continue under the new normal. The adoption of digital payments is one of the common business recovery options supported by the government. In this study, the factors affecting the adoption of digital payments were examined. From July 2020–January 2021, an online survey was conducted on a sample of 433 respondents with at least supervisory level positions. On average, the firms operated their enterprises for 16.22 years and employed 1.8 workers with 57% being sole proprietors, 54% micro enterprises, and 30% having information technology (IT) infrastructure. A decline in their business performance during the pandemic was observed. Two-thirds of the firms across the country employed digital payment technology, and 55% of these firms started using the technology during the pandemic period. Logit analysis was conducted to analyze the determinants of digital payment adoption. Being relatively younger, operating under a partnership business structure relative to sole proprietors, employing more human resources, having IT facilities, and experiencing business growth before the pandemic were found to be predictive of the adoption of digital payments in the business operations of these firms. While younger firms are more receptive to this new payment technology, digital capacity development programs may further revitalize businesses and industries. Such mechanisms need to be put in place targeting vulnerable enterprises: firms under sole proprietorship, without infrastructure for IT, with relatively fewer employees being relatively smaller organizations, and in decline in terms of business growth even prior to the pandemic.

Published: September 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world today impacts various community activities in Indonesia, one of which is household consumption related to the price of goods/services. One indicator that can describe information about price changes in a region is to look at the development of inflation, where inflation is calculated from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures. Therefore, this study aims to determine the picture of Indonesian people's spending patterns through CPI spending groups and which dominant variables affect inflation during this pandemic. This study focused on the CPI of 90 cities in Indonesia in March 2020-August 2021 based on the Commodity Cost of Living Survey (SBH) 2018, using a literature review supported by quantitative descriptive analysis and factor analysis of secondary data. This study showed that the personal care and services group was the spending group that always occupied the top CPI position. In contrast, the information, communication, and financial services expenditure group rank lowest compared to other spending groups. As for the factor analysis results, of the 16 variables obtained, five factors can explain the variation of 58.833 percent against inflation.

A Context-Oriented Framework and Decision Algorithms for Computation Offloading in Vehicular Edge Computing
Authors: Souza Alisson Barbosa de , Rego Paulo Antonio Leal , Souza José Neuman de
Published: September 2022

Some increasingly popular vehicular applications have critical time requirements. As vehicles still do not have enough computation power, they cannot satisfy these demands satisfactorily. One option to deal with this problem is to enable vehicles to transfer computational tasks to cooperating devices through the offloading technique. However, performing this technique in vehicular scenarios is challenging due to the fast movement of network nodes and the frequent disconnections. Thus, we propose a context-oriented framework and decision algorithms to reduce the execution time of vehicular applications reliably through computation offloading in vehicular edge computing systems. Experimental results show that our solutions can significantly improve the execution time of vehicular applications.

Existem muitos testbeds emulados propostos para experimentação de Redes Definidas por Software, do inglês Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Entretanto, poucas propostas focam em segurança, as quais geralmente são restritas ao contexto de aplicação para o qual foram desenvolvidas e/ou nem sempre atendem a requisitos como facilidade de instalação e configuração, configurabilidade da topologia e baixo custo, prejudicando a reusabilidade da ferramenta. Visando preencher a lacuna de pesquisa identificada, o presente trabalho apresenta o Lightweight SDN Testbed (LST), uma ferramenta leve para execuções locais de aplicações para SDN no contexto de segurança. Para diminuir o custo computacional bem como propiciar configurabilidade ao testbed proposto, o LST foi desenvolvido utilizando Docker, Docker Compose, Python e Open vSwitch.

Um Simulador para o Cálculo e Otimização da Age of Information (AoI) em Sistemas Ciberfísicos
Authors: Prandel Paulo César , Barreto Priscila Solis
Published: September 2022

A Age of Information (AoI) surge como um novo conceito e conjunto de métricas que representam o grau de atualização da informação que um monitor possui em relação a uma entidade ou processo remoto que envia atualizações periodicamente. Essas métricas podem ser aplicadas na avaliação de Sistemas Ciberfísicos (Cyber Physical Systems CPS), como por exemplo um sistema de monitoramento composto por diversos sensores, uma rede e um monitor. Na revisão da literatura verifica-se que a maior parte dos trabalhos explora a abordagem analítica para obter expressões exatas para o cálculo da AoI. Essa abordagem, no entanto, é limitada pelas dificuldades encontradas na modelagem à medida em que o CPS em estudo se torna mais complexo, o que motiva a utilização de outros métodos de avaliação, como o uso de simulações. Dessa forma, este trabalho propõe uma ferramenta de simulação baseada em um modelo computacional para a avaliação da AoI em CPS. Tal ferramenta é capaz de avaliar qualquer modelo de sistema, ao aplicar ainda diversas técnicas de gerenciamento de pacotes presentes na literatura para a otimização da AoI. Por fim, a ferramenta prova a sua qualidade ao retornar uma análise estatística da precisão dos resultados da simulação.
Classification of the Sciences in Greco-Roman Antiquity
Authors: Furner Jonathan
Published: September 2022

A review is undertaken of the contributions of 38 classical authors, from Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE to Isidore in the 6th century CE, to the classification of the sciences. Such classifications include some that are more theoretical in function, some that are more practical (e.g., encyclopedic, bibliographic, or curricular). The emergence of the quadrivium and trivium is charted; the Greek concept of “enkýklios paideía” and the Latin term “artēs liberales” are defined; and the ways in which the form, content, and function of science classifications change during this period are assessed.
„Kredit bei aller Welt"
Authors: Kokel Susanne
Published: September 2022

Did Protestant communities really have ‘credit everywhere’, as Max Weber observed? This study addresses this perspective for a possible explanation of the much-discussed connection between religion and economic success, using the example of the Moravian Church. This Protestant group secured its financing through profits from an extensive conglomerate of industrial, trade and banking companies, which this book is the first to present comprehensively. The book’s theoretical and methodological interdisciplinary analysis of corporate financing with regard to possible competitive advantages leads to the general question of the legitimacy of church entrepreneurship in the first half of the 20th century.

Mango is one of the frequently cultivated seasonal fruit crops in several tropical and subtropical regions. It is consumed as whole fruits apart from serving as raw materials for most industries that are into mineral production. Mango production is, however, constrained by diseases, pests, and poor post-harvest handling of fruits. Anthracnose disease, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz and Sacc, is one of the most important yields limiting constraint in mango production across the globe. The disease occurs in both the field and post-harvesting. In the field, it affects aboveground parts, such as the stem, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Anthracnose disease reduces the shelve life and marketability of mango fruit. In Ghana, anthracnose disease is responsible for about 30% yield/fruit loss. Most farmers do not control it, although some have resorted to the application of various fungicides not registered for mango anthracnose disease management in Ghana. This chapter will highlight on the importance of the disease on the mango industry in Ghana, control strategies currently employed thereby reducing the over-reliance on chemical control option and propose ways to minimize the effect of the disease in the country.
Perspective Chapter: Purposes of Judgment of a Person Convicted for International Crimes in Light of the International Criminal Law
Authors: Yao Nikez Adu
Published: September 2022

Criminal law has the specificity of being more repressive than other branches of law, such as administrative law and civil law. Doctrinally, the purposes of any criminal judgment are to restore the social justice for the committed offense, to correct (educate) the convicted person, and to prevent the convicted person from committing a new crime in the future. However, the analysis of practices of international criminal law has shown that the aim of the judgment of persons convicted for committing international crimes differs from the doctrinal criminal law approaches. Thus, the purposes of the judgment for persons convicted of committing international crimes comprise the restoration of social justice and the prevention of further crimes but not to assist in correcting the convicted person. This scientific work consists of the analysis of practices of international bodies, in particular practices of the International Criminal Court and the other International Criminal Tribunals, to respond to the question of why the correction of the convicted person is not engaged in International Criminal Law.
Currency and Banking Crises: The Origins and How to Identify Them
Authors: Rahadyan Heru
Published: September 2022

Currency and banking crises have occurred periodically. Along with the growing integration and liberalisation of financial markets, there is an increasing number of currency and banking crises. This chapter shows that crises can occur in any good or bad economic conditions as they can be triggered by rational actions, panics or contagion effects. As the crises stem from various aspects, thus, they should be mitigated with different policies. Furthermore, this chapter discusses the exchange market pressure index to identify a currency crisis, the money market pressure index to identify a banking crisis and the financial market pressure index to identify the overall financial crises. Once the crises are identified, economists can start to investigate the determinants of the crises. While the probit/logit models are arguably the most popular approaches to investigating the determinants of crises, they fail to provide useful forecasts. On the other hand, while the signalling approach is considered the most successful method to forecast crises, the results are difficult to be interpreted. The empirical studies suggest that the currency and banking crises are typically preceded by a real appreciation and a lending boom, the signs of a boom period in the business cycle.
Forecasting Weekly Shipments of Hass Avocados from Mexico to the United States Using Econometric and Vector Autoregression Models
Authors: Capps Oral
Published: September 2022

Domestic production cannot meet the U.S. demand for avocados, satisfying only 10% of the national demand. Due to year-round production and longer shelf-life, the Hass variety of avocados accounts for about 85% of avocados consumed in the United States and roughly 95% of total avocado imports, primarily from Mexico. Using weekly data over the period July 3, 2011, to October 24, 2021, econometric and vector autoregression models are estimated regarding the seven main shipment sizes of Hass avocados from Mexico to the United States. Both types of models discern the impacts of inflation-adjusted and exchange-rate adjusted prices per box as well as U.S. disposable income, holidays and events, and seasonality on the level of Hass avocado shipments by size. In general, these impacts are robust across the respective models by shipment size. These types of models also mimic the variability in the level of shipments by size quite well based on goodness-of-fit metrics. Based on absolute percent error, these models provide reasonably accurate forecasts of the level of Hass avocado shipments from Mexico by size associated with a time horizon of 13 weeks. But neither type of models provides better forecast performance universally across all avocado shipment sizes.
The Critical Discourse Analysis in the Persuasive Language of Hotel and Fast-Food Restaurant Advertisements
Authors: Huseynova Nigar , Amani Bahman , Taghiyev İlham
Published: September 2022

This research study attempts to analyze persuasive techniques in the hotel and fast-food restaurant advertisements in terms of critical discourse analysis techniques. Research on persuasiveness has been popular for a long time, studied as the art of speaking and features of rhetoric. Linguists have never stopped in their quest to find out what linguistic elements create persuasive effects and impact human brains to convince people about something. The research aimed to reveal what techniques were widely used in advertisements to catch customers’ attention and persuade people to purchase the products. The study was conducted based on the qualitative-quantitative method, and the data was collected from the official pages of different famous hotels and fast-food restaurants. For investigation, 50 slogans, 25 from hotels’ and 25 from fast food restaurants’ advertisements, were analyzed based on “verbal techniques” and “power words techniques.” The results of the study point to the comparative analysis of hotel and fast-food slogans, and they are represented with the help of charts and diagrams in statistical numbers. In the conclusion of the research, it became clear that the most frequent verbal technique used was the “we are different and unique” technique, and the most frequent vocabulary types were the “abundance words” and “confidence words” type of words.
