Detection of Steel Structures Degradation through a UAVs and Artificial Intelligence Automated System
Authors: Fotia Antonino , Pucinotti Raffaele , Barrile Vincenzo
Published: February 2023

In recent times, the need for the management and monitoring of steel structures (bridges, but also buildings) has become more and more important; consequently, a new phase has opened up aimed at the surveillance and monitoring of these structural types with the objective of their protection and preservation, also through preventive maintenance activities. Leaving aside the world of large structures (industrial buildings, bridges, etc.), the reality of metal-framed buildings in Italy is not yet strongly established. For this reason, particular attention must be paid to these types of structures. The application of experimental monitoring techniques, however, involves the succession and chaining of various established procedures. Visual inspection is generally the first step to assess any deterioration, but it becomes quite difficult for elements at significant heights. The operational difficulties can be reduced by the UAV drone. Image processing using soft computing techniques also offers the possibility of speeding up the inspection by human operators, who can limit themselves to assessing any damaged parts already selected by artificial intelligence. It is, therefore, necessary to establish appropriate automatic or semi-automatic inspection procedures mainly aimed at providing useful indications to operators on intervention priorities. An automatic monitoring and management procedure is therefore presented, which provides for the detection and evolution of degradation on structural elements and joints of existing steel structures. The implemented methodology follows five main phases: (a) images acquisition by UAVs; (b) 3D creation with geometry and degradation; (c) data processing and defect detection; (d) creation of an "evolutionary" database, able to update the degradation on the basis of the acquisitions made in subsequent inspections by UAVs; (v) implementation of the structure (with its defects) within a structural analysis software FEM (Finite Element Method).

Intellectual Property Rights and Asian Agriculture
Authors:   Yale University, USA, Evenson Robert
Published: February 2023

Developing countries have traditionally been antagonistic to the introduction of strengthened Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) systems. This is the case in spite of the obvious fact that virtually all Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) market economies have "strong" IPR systems, and that they have full "reciprocity" in recognizing the IPRs of other OECD countries. That is, each OECD country offers "national treatment" to inventors from other OECD countries. Additionally, each of these countries has actually strengthened IPR implementation and scope, primarily through "case law" over recent decades.
Water Resources and Irrigation Policy Issues in Asia
Authors:   University of the Philippines Los Baños, Philippines, David Wilfredo
Published: February 2023

Freshwater is a finite resource that is being continuously exploited to meet the requirements of an increasing population. The estimated average available water per capita worldwide decreased from about 40,000 cubic meter (m3) in 1800 to 17,000 m3 in 1950, 12,900 m3 in 1970 and 7,000 m3 in 1997. Although the present availability is still relatively high, it is rapidly decreasing – projected to be only 4,700 m3 by 2025. Moreover, there are large spatial and temporal variations in water availability. In some parts of Asia, water availability is less than the threshold level of 2,000 m3, below which an area is considered water-stressed.

Published: February 2023

The electron cyclotron maser (ECM) instability is a very important nonthermal radiation mechanism. It has been developed by proposing various electron distribution functions as well as the relativistic resonance condition, called the semirelativistic correction. Taking account of the relativistic effects of both the velocity distribution of energetic electrons and the resonance condition, called the fully relativistic correction, the present paper investigates the ECM instability driven by a power-law electron distribution with a low-energy cutoff. The results show that (1) both in the semirelativistic and fully relativistic cases, the growth rate and relative frequency bandwidth of ordinary (O) and extraordinary (X) modes show a positive correlation with cutoff energy E

Published: February 2023

Our understanding of Hawaiian arboreal snails’ diets remains rudimentary, hindering the development of effective conservation strategies. To identify important food resources, we tested the hypothesis that epiphytic microbial assemblages differ on plant species preferred and avoided by snails at Mt. Kaala Natural Area Reserve, where snail plant preferences are known from previous studies. Comparing microbial assemblages on plants that snails both prefer and avoid was identified as a potentially key step to moving research away from characterizing which microbes snails encounter, towards testing if microbial assemblages are driving snail plant preferences. We found that fungal and bacterial assemblages differed between plant species preferred and avoided by snails, indicating that Hawaiian arboreal snails may be selecting plants based on their epiphytic microbial assemblages. Previous microbes thought to be important, Cladosporium spp., propagated in captive rearing facilities, and Botryosphaeria spp., preferred fungi in a feeding experiment, were both rare and had similar abundances on preferred and avoided plant species in Mt. Kaala. Our approach, conducting preference studies before isolating microbes, is key to identifying arboreal snail food resources and improves our ability to identify microbes that form the foundation of Hawaiian arboreal snails’ diet. If we can identify important food resources, it greatly expands our ability to: (1) assess and monitor habitat quality, (2) make informed restoration recommendations, and (3) improve rearing efforts for highly endangered captive reared populations.

Published: February 2023

Edible insects are a potential and sustainable protein resource. Various extraction methods are used to process edible insects. However, the residue fraction is discarded after protein extraction because of its poor functional properties, despite having a high protein content. This study was conducted to improve the functional properties of re-extracted protein from the raw and hydrolysed protein extraction residues, and to demonstrate the most effective condition of extraction buffer. Residues from Hermetia illucens L. protein water extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis extraction were hydrated using different pH buffers (0.1 M HCl, distilled water, and 0.1 M NaOH). Compared to the pH of the extract from the re-dissolved residue, the proteins from hydrolysed samples were acidic. Changes in colour values were observed for the different buffers and hydrolysis conditions applied. Protein solubility, foaming properties, and emulsifying properties of the protein improved after hydrolysis. In conclusion, hydrolysed protein extraction using the swelling method under alkaline conditions may improve the protein functionality of the residue fraction in H. illucens.

Authors: Alkilani Fouad , Nemraoui Ouassini , Ismail Fareed
Published: February 2023

This research presents a method for improving a conventional solar still to produce potable water during adverse conditions where there is low or no solar radiation. Summer and winter conditions in the Western Cape province of South Africa were considered. A comparative experimental study was conducted between a conventional solar still and the developed solar still. The developed solar still incorporated a photovoltaic powered thermoelectric heat pump. The purpose of the thermoelectric (TE) heat pump was to accelerate convection inside the developed solar still assembly. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the thermoelectric heat pump installed in the developed solar still ranged from 0.4 to 1.9 at an input current of 5 A. The results indicated that the developed solar still was able to produce 2300 mL per day of drinkable water during a good day in the winter, but the conventional solar still was only able to produce 650 mL per day. The developed solar still produced 2180 mL per day, whereas the ordinary solar still produced 1050 mL per day, during a mild summer day. The developed still had an accumulated water production of 1180 mL during a night with mild temperatures. This significant improvement in yield of the developed solar still system is due to the change in temperature difference between the glazing and the water surface within the developed solar still. This is a significant contribution to the technology of solar water purification.

Published: February 2023

Combien de ménages sont-ils expulsés de leur logement chaque année à Bruxelles ? Que sait-on du profil des locataires expulsés et des bailleurs ayant requis une expulsion ? Certaines parties de la ville sont-elles plus touchées que d’autres ? Alors qu’elles constituent un cas extrême de privation du droit au logement, les expulsions de logement à Bruxelles y sont encore très peu documentées. Cet article vise à pallier ce manque de connaissances en fournissant une photographie complète des expulsions judiciaires sur une année (2018) pour l’ensemble de la Région bruxelloise. Les résultats obtenus soulignent l’importance de questionner l’absence de production institutionnelle de données sur les expulsions de logement, dans une ville où la production et l’allocation des logements est largement dominée par des mécanismes de marché.

Published: February 2023

The survey on COVID-19 test kits RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) concludes the hit rate of diagnosis and detection is degrading. Manufacturing these RT-PCR kits is very expensive and time-consuming. This work proposed an efficient way for COVID detection using a hybrid convolutional neural network (HCNN) through chest x-rays image analysis. It aids to differentiate non-COVID patient and COVID patients. It makes the medical practitioner to take appropriate treatment and measures. The results outperformed the custom blood and saliva-based RT-PCR test results. A few examinations were carried out over chest X-ray images utilizing ConvNets that produce better accuracy for the recognition of COVID-19. When considering the number of images in the database and the COVID discovery season (testing time = 0.03 s/image), the design reduced the computational expenditure. With mean ROC AUC scores 96.51 & 96.33%, the CNN with minimised convolutional and fully connected layers detects COVID-19 images inside the two-class COVID/Normal and COVID/Pneumonia orders.

Authors: Bircan Mustafa , Tuna Gurkan
Published: February 2023

Although Windows is the most popular operating system in the world, it has many vulnerabilities, depending on its version. Due to these vulnerabilities, attackers can capture sensitive data and cause irreversible damage. Examination of these vulnerabilities and analysis of malicious codes can be done with open-source tools. Analyzing affected services in a cyber war is important to prevent the future attacks and prevent data breaches. Because, in every attack and every data breach, a trace is definitely left by the attacker(s). These traces help us identify the culprit and the magnitude of the violation committed. In this study, open-source software tools that can be used in incident response process in Windows operating systems are reviewed. As it is shown, when such tools are used appropriately and timely, they can reduce the impacts of cyber attacks and help to prevent future cyber attacks.

Published: February 2023

This study aims at re-specifying and extending the DeLone and McLean information systems success model and verifying the extended model in the context of mobile banking applications. The model integrates a relationship-driving indicator, namely perceived value and a condition that permanently predicts the use of technology: usefulness. This framework derives its originality from the integration of these variables and verification in timely and innovative service, namely mobile banking applications. The results allowed to accept the hypotheses assuming the impact of the perception of usefulness and value, as well as system and service quality on satisfaction. The latter has a significant influence on continuance intention. However, the impact of information quality was insignificant, and hypotheses assuming the dependence of continuance intention on usefulness and service quality are rejected. These results are discussed, and the conclusion deduces managerial recommendations and directions for future research.

Published: February 2023

Background:

The goal of this study was to analyze the dental students' and faculty's perceptions of the usefulness of e-learning in prosthodontics during the difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study with a sample size of 213 students and 10 faculty members was conducted at the institutional level. The participants' perspectives on e-learning were formed using prevalidated anonymous questionnaires, one for students and the other for faculty, each including a total of 20 questions, both closed and open ended. The data were examined using SPSS version 24.0 for statistical analysis. Mean and standard deviation were used for descriptive statistics, whereas frequencies and percentages were used for categorical data.

Results:

The survey participants, students, and instructors all agreed that online classes had certain advantages since they fit better into their schedules. Both students and professors were dissatisfied with the learning quality because the prosthodontics subject is mostly a practical domain that necessitates active demonstrations and debates to master the practical aspects of the subject.

Discussion:

The results of this study revealed the substantial challenges that teachers and dental students encounter when it comes to e-learning in prosthodontics. These findings can be used to improve students' and faculty's learning experiences, as well as to develop an effective and productive online learning platform.

Conclusion:

The current study's findings revealed the substantial challenges that dental students and instructors confront when it comes to e learning in prosthodontics. This can then be used to advise the university's dentistry education section in developing an effective and productive online teaching platform aimed at improving students' learning experiences.

Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Information on child development is limited in Nepal, where a large number of children suffer from the negative consequences of poverty, nutritional deficiencies, and inadequate learning opportunities. The study aims to determine the proportion of children developmentally on track and its associated factors among 2870 children under 5 years using data from Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey.

Methods:

We used bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression to determine the association among household and maternal variables and child characteristics with the Child Development Index.

Results:

The multivariate analysis showed that age, province, educational status, wealth index quintile, health insurance, stunting, and functional disability were associated with the Child Development Index (P < 0.05). The odds of child being developmentally on track at 4 years was more than two times (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.7–2.37) than of 3 years. Literate mothers had higher odds (AOR = 1.56 [95% CI: 1.29–1.89]) of child being developmentally on track compared to illiterate mothers. The odds of child being developmentally on track in the richest quintile was more than three times (AOR = 3.43 [95% CI: 2.39–4.91]) than child of the poorest quintile. With regard to stunting, there were higher odds of children who were not stunted (AOR = 1.35 [95% CI: 1.12–1.64]) being developmentally on track. Children who lack functional difficulty were more than six times (AOR = 6.7 [95% CI: 3.2–14.02]) on being developmentally on track. Children having health insurance were higher odds (AOR = 1.81 [95% CI: 1.04–3.15] P = 0.034) on being developmentally on track.

Conclusion:

The study found different factors such as age, province, educational status, wealth index quintile, health insurance, stunting, and functional disability associated with the Child Development Index providing insights to establish specific interventions based on socioeconomic barriers of household and health outcomes of children for ensuring child development.
Function-in-the-Loop Simulation of Electromechanical Steering
Systems—Concept, Implementation, and Use Cases
Authors: Achilles Frederik , Steib Frederik , Nippold Christoph , Henze Roman
Published: February 2023

The accelerated processes in vehicle development require new technologies for
function development and validation. With this motivation, Function-in-the-Loop
(FiL) simulation was developed as a link between Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) and
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulation. The combination of real Electronic
Control Unit (ECU) hardware and software in conjunction with virtual components
is very well suited for function development and testing. This approach opens up
new possibilities for mechatronic systems that would otherwise require special
test benches. For this reason, an Electric Power Steering (EPS) was transferred
to a virtual environment using FiL simulation. This enables a wide range of
applications, from EPS testing to the development of connected driving functions
on an integrated platform. Right from the early development phases, the
technology can be used purposefully with short integration cycles. Throughout
the entire development process, function development and validation can be
effectively controlled and quality increased.

Environmental pollution with vanadium may pose neurotoxicity threats to known unique neural attributes (cognition and olfaction) of the African giant rat (AGR). This rodent lives within the same ecological zones as the human populace. Thus, experimental investigations on the effect of vanadium on this rodent may mirror latent epidemiological scenarios in the human populace. This work was designed to evaluate the neurotoxic effect of vanadium on the hippocampal neuronal infrastructure and circuitry and provide cellular correlates to its significant pathologies in the AGR. Twelve adult male AGRs were assigned into two groups (n = 6/group; vanadium and control). They were dosed daily with 3 mg/kg body sodium metavanadate and sterile water for 14 days, respectively, and harvested brains were processed for histology. Using Nissl and Golgi staining techniques with stereological analysis, we demonstrated the effect of vanadium on AGR neuronal architecture of the hippocampal trisynaptic loop as a probable cellular mechanism of vanadium-induced memory deficits. Specifically, the most significant pathologies were seen in the dentate gyrus and CA3, with significantly decreased neuronal density disrupted cytoarchitecture and loss of dendritic arborisations and axonal extensions. At the same time, hippocampal subfields CA2 and CA4 showed region-specific resistance to vanadium-induced neurotoxicity. Furthermore, the selective vulnerability to vanadium-induced neurotoxicity is adduced. This work has demonstrated the neurotoxic effect of vanadium on the hippocampal subfields and circuitry in the AGR and highlighted its probable impact on their translational purposes. This rodent may be a suitable model for evaluating memory pathologies in neurotoxicological studies

Published: February 2023

Information needs can arise because of a knowledge gap in a person with the necessary information needs, one of which is knowledge in the field of computers and informatics, especially related to terms in the computer field. Therefore we need a system that makes it easy for users to meet the information needs needed by building a digital dictionary application related to computer terms and informatics by utilizing the search engine features in it. Search activities are carried out daily to meet information needs. However, an error that is often unavoidable in performing a search is a typing error in the query. As a result, the information sought is not as expected. Based on this, we need a system that can identify typographical errors in the search text. So in this research, a website-based dictionary of computer and informatics terms will be developed by applying Peter Norvig's spelling corrector using the Python language with the flask framework. The implementation results show that Peter Norvig's spelling corrector method can be applied to computer and informatics term dictionary applications. This can be seen at the level of accuracy reaching 89% in correcting 180 word variations that contain typographical errors based on the highest probability of each possible word in the corpus. However, there is a lack of this spelling corrector method, it is still difficult to overcome typos in spelling abbreviations and typographical errors that exceed 1 letter

The recognition of the private economy as an integral part of the economy at the Sixth National Congress (1986) of the Communist Party of Vietnam stems from the practical needs of Vietnam before doi moi. From 1986 to 2001, the private sector in Vietnam has gradually affirmed its role and position in the socialist-oriented market economy and has made important contributions to national budget, increasing gross domestic product growth and job creation. However, besides the positive contributions, the private economy in Vietnam still reveals certain limitations in the development process.

Esse trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a presença das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação presentes no livro didático e a atenção seletiva na aprendizagem da função seno. Assim, o livro didático é um dos recursos mais utilizados para ensino-aprendizagem. No atual momento da sociedade, com as diversas mudanças e com o surgimento da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), as Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC’s) vem ganhando mais espaço nesse material. Então, essas mudanças provocam no âmbito escolar adequação e assim, pode fazer com que o ensino de matemática tende a se modificar. Percebe-se, atualmente, que conceitos da neurociência cognitiva estão mais presentes na educação trazendo contribuições diversas para o ensino e a aprendizagem. O presente artigo apresenta resultados de uma análise realizada em um livro didático do PNLD 2021 da coleção Ser Protagonista, do Novo Ensino Médio, na área de conhecimento matemática e suas tecnologias, em uma escola da rede estadual da Bahia na 2ª serie entre os anos 2021-2022. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e cunho bibliográfico que emergiu a partir da análise das unidades e capítulos do livro, destacando a atenção seletiva como fator importante para aprendizagem a partir das tecnologias. Os resultados da análise mostram que a TDIC’s encontrada foi o Winplot e que a sua aplicação no ensino contexto matemático pode desenvolver atenção seletiva e a aprendizagem da função seno. Portanto, no atual contexto impulsionado pelas mudanças na sociedade, é imprescritível que a Educação Matemática esteja em sintonia com a Neurociência Cognitiva.

Turkey's new presidential regime: fragility, resilience, reversibility
Authors: Öniş Ziya
Published: February 2023

2023 Haziran’da gerçekleşecek Cumhurbaşkanlığı Seçimleri ve Genel Seçimler, Türkiye’nin siyasi gidişatı için çok önemli bir dönüm noktası olma potansiyeline sahip. Türkiye, seçim sonuçlarına bağlı olarak, kendisini demokrasinin yeniden inşa edildiği veya var olan rekabetçi otoriter rejimin daha da konsolide olduğu ve derinleştiği bir senaryoyla karşı karşıya bulabilir. Bu makale, yeni başkanlık sistemi altında geçen son dört yılın kritik bir değerlendirmesini yaparken aynı zamanda Türkiye’nin deneyimini genel anlamdaki sağ popülizm tartışmaları çerçevesinde anlamlandırmaya çalışıyor. Ana hipoteze göre devam eden ekonomik kriz, belirli bir ölçüde, AKP’nin ve Cumhur İttifakı’nın halk içerisindeki popülerliğini zayıflattı. Diğer bir taraftan, yönetimdeki koalisyonun ekonomik büyü-menin devamlılığını sağlamasıyla beraber kimlik politikaları ve iç politika – dış politika etkileşimi gibi farklı dinamiklerde gösterdiği direnç, seçim öncesi dikkate alınması gereken unsurları oluşturuyor.
Çatışma dinamiklerinin etnik kimlikler üzerindeki etkisi: Suriye iç savaşı örneği
Authors: Sarı Ayhan
Published: February 2023

Savaş dinamikleri etnik kimliklerin iç savaş esnasında katılaşmasını nasıl etkiler? Etnik savaşlar üzerine yapılan çalışmaların ekseriyeti etnik kimliklerin iç savaş esnasında ön plana çıkmasını elitlerin manipülasyonuna bağlamaktadır. Fakat, kitlelerin bu manipülasyona neden katıldığını ve etnik özdeşleşme sürecinin nasıl işlediğini yeterince açıklayamamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Mart 2011 yılında başlayan Suriye iç savaşı incelenmiş ve etnik özdeşleşme sürecinin işleyişini açıklaması umulan bir nedensel mekanizma ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla 41 Suriyeli mülteciyle yarı-yapılandırılmış mülakat tekniği kullanılarak İstanbul ve Gaziantep illerinde görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgulara göre, insanların kandırıldıkları ya da maddi çıkarlarına uyduğu için elitlerin manipülasyonuna katılmaları gibi bir durum söz konusu değildir. Bunun yerine, güvensizlik-kimlik teorisinin iddia ettiği üzere artan güvensizlik ve korku gibi savaş dinamikleri bireylerin karar alma sürecinde etkili olmuş ve iç savaşta hayatta kalabilmek adına kendilerine uygun gördükleri etnik kimliklerle özdeşleşmişlerdir.
