Optimizing Patient Flow in Healthcare Facilities: A Comprehensive Approach
Authors: KARL LETHO , Egon Kaledio
Published: September 2023

Appointment scheduling is a critical component of healthcare management, impacting patient access, resource allocation, and operational efficiency. This article provides a comprehensive examination of appointment scheduling algorithms in healthcare. It delves into the challenges faced by healthcare providers, explores the benefits of advanced scheduling algorithms, and showcases real-world examples of successful implementations. Moreover, it highlights the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning in revolutionizing healthcare scheduling. Appointment scheduling is a common and important task in many domains, such as education, healthcare, business, and social networking. It involves organizing and optimizing the allocation of time slots for multiple individuals, taking into account various constraints such as availability, preferences, and dependencies. For example, a doctor may need to schedule appointments for patients based on their urgency, availability, and medical history; a teacher may need to schedule exams for students based on their academic performance, preferences, and deadlines; a manager may need to schedule meetings for employees based on their roles, projects, and availability.Computational methods that can automate and improve this process are called appointment scheduling algorithms. These algorithms aim to find a solution that maximizes the satisfaction of all the individuals involved while minimizing the waste of time and resources. In this article, we will briefly introduce some of the main concepts and techniques used in appointment scheduling algorithms, as well as some of their applications and challenges.
Long-Short-Term Memory Model for Remaining Usable Life Estimation
Authors: Karnik Rudra , Pandya Keivalya
Published: September 2023

The turbofan engine holds significant importance as a key component within an aircraft. However, the performance and dependability of engine components tend to deteriorate over their operational lifespan. This degradation adversely affects their reliability and overall efficiency. To proactively address maintenance requirements and mitigate the risk of engine failure, accurate prediction of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) becomes imperative. Precise estimation of RUL empowers effective maintenance planning, minimizing potential risks and reducing downtime caused by engine malfunctions. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network is a Deep Learning technique that is widely used for predicting accurate RUL as LSTM are capable of learning long-term dependencies which can be useful in the case of large data-driven predictions. This paper proposes an LSTM model with LSTM, dropout, and fully connected layers for predicting the RUL of Aircraft Turbofan Engines using the CMAPSS turbofan Jet engine degradation dataset provided by NASA. The primary architecture of the proposed model has four layers of LSTM and Dropout each and a fully connected layer for output, with tanh, sigmoid, and relu as primary activation functions. The C-MAPSS dataset consists of four each training and testing datasets. Datasets consisting of 26 features including Engine id, Number of cycles, Operational settings, and Sensor data are pre-processed and brought down to relevant features with the help of a correlation matrix. Further, the dataset is transformed according to the window size of the LSTM model, which makes it easy to use it for training. Undergoes training and testing on pre-processed sub-datasets, and the obtained results are compared against existing methods that have used the same dataset in their research work. The performance evaluation of this model is conducted based on root mean squared error and score function values.
Explaining Urban Order: The Autocratic Origins of Africa's City Street Networks
Authors: Nathan Noah
Published: September 2023

I connect the political incentives of state leaders to the physical geometry of urban built environments. Drawing on a novel combination of street network data, archival maps, and satellite imagery, I build upon classic claims that autocratic regimes order urban space, rendering society more legible through the production of gridded streets. Backdating the construction of 1.5 million streets across a sample of African cities, I show that more ordered, gridded urban neighborhoods emerge under more autocratic post-colonial regimes. But rather than a conscious effort to increase society's legibility through urban design, evidence on mechanisms is more consistent with urban order emerging as a side-effect of more general patronage strategies autocrats use to placate critical subsets of the urban population. The paper demonstrates that efforts to intervene on the built environment represent an underexplored element of both autocratic and urban politics in the developing world.

Authors: Hung Nguyen Dac , Hung Ha Manh
Published: September 2023

In the last 10 years, after becoming the official member of WTO in 2007, Vietnam has made commitments to the comply with the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement and other international economic agreements. Vietnam has also become a member of the AEC and entered into important free trade agreements, notably the Trans Pacific Partnership. The financial integration of Vietnam in the global economy has been increasing rapidly. However, Vietnam also witnesses the unexpected economic fluctuations domestically and internationally. The global financial crisis, especially the US financial crisis, exerts a major impact on Vietnam’s economy and its banking system. Accordingly, the real estate market, stock market and banking system in Vietnam have fluctuated remarkably. This article discusses the causes of the US financial crisis and analyses the US government’s solutions. The causes of the US financial crisis are distributed to lax lending standards, failures in regulations of derivates financial instruments, and lack of state control of banking systems. In this respect, recommendations are made for Vietnam’s case.

Published: September 2023

The long-term global Leaf Area Index (LAI) products are critical supports for characterizing the changes in land surface and its interactions with other components of the Earth system under the dramatic global change. However, intercomparisons between current available long-term global LAI products present significant spatiotemporal inconsistencies which have been a persistent source of uncertainties in global change ecology. Yet, a direct and systematic evaluation of current long-term LAI products is still lacking due to the absence of appropriate LAI references, especially before 2000. Here, we proposed a novel evaluation framework to directly evaluate the mainstream long-term global LAI products (GIMMS LAI3g, GLASS LAI, and GLOBMAP LAI) using massive high-quality LAI validation samples. The LAI validation samples, derived from the Landsat archive using machine learning and MODIS LAI, have a global distribution, a long temporal coverage (1982−2020), and a large amount of 4.9 million. They substantially address the issue of insufficient LAI reference data and can enable quantitative LAI assessments. The long-term global LAI products showed reasonable quality in terms of absolute value, with GIMMS LAI3g having better performance (R:0.96; MAE: 0.29 m^2 m^(-2); RMSE: 0.49 m^2 m^(-2)), followed by GLASS LAI (R:0.96; MAE: 0.31 m^2 m^(-2); RMSE: 0.51 m^2 m^(-2)) and GLOBMAP LAI (R:0.90; MAE: 0.52 m^2 m^(-2); RMSE: 0.91 m^2 m^(-2)). For all LAI products, the data quality after 2000 was better than before 2000. Their annual maximum LAI trends presented mediocre consistencies with the LAI validation samples (R: 0.20−0.29) which showed a significantly larger area of greening. The evaluation of ten state-of-the-art ecosystem models demonstrated varied capabilities in simulating global LAI trends, with the standard deviations ranging from ~0.01 to 0.04 m^2 m^(-2) a^(-1). Although the Multi-Model Ensemble Mean LAI agreed with satellite-based LAI products, they differed with vegetation biomes especially for the tropics. The Landsat LAI validation dataset produced in this study can facilitate the development of long-term global LAI products and provide a quantitative reference for vegetation dynamic studies.

Published: September 2023

This study synthesizes two different methods for estimating hydraulic conductivity (K) at large scales. We derive analytical approaches that estimate K and apply them to the contiguous US. We then compare these analytical approaches to three-dimensional, national gridded K data products and three transmissivity (T) data products developed from publicly available sources. We evaluate these data products using multiple approaches: comparing their statistics qualitatively and quantitatively and with hydrologic model simulations. Some of these datasets were used as inputs for an integrated hydrologic model of the Upper Colorado River Basin and the comparison of the results with observations was used to further evaluate the K data products. Simulated average daily streamflow was compared to daily flow data from 10 USGS stream gages in the domain, and annually averaged simulated groundwater depths are compared to observations from nearly 2,000 monitoring wells. We find streamflow predictions from analytically informed simulations to be similar in relative bias and Spearman’s rho to the geologically informed simulations. R-squared values for groundwater depth predictions are close between the best performing analytically and geologically informed simulations at 0.68 and 0.70 respectively, with RMSE values under 10m. We also show that the analytical approach derived by this study produces estimates of K that are similar in spatial distribution, standard deviation, mean value, and modeling performance to geologically-informed estimates. The results of this work are used to inform a follow-on study that tests additional data-driven approaches in multiple basins within the contiguous US.

Published: September 2023

The precast concrete market is increasing globally with an estimated economy of 107.83 billion US dollars in 2018 and a growth rate of 5.7%. Boundary wall is one of the popular applications of precast concrete. H-posts used in boundary walls have plain concrete grooves and their shear strength is not studied well. While theoretical shear resistance of the groove based on concrete codes is greater than the likely wind load, this study experimentally validates the shear strength of such grooves by performing structural testing. Five test series with two repetitions are tested. Two grades of concrete are tested with plain grooves and grooves having reinforcement studs. Shear resistance of the grooves is at least 8 times greater than the maximum wind load. The ultimate failure occurs at the stem of the grooves for the plain concrete grooves, but panels fail in bearing for the specimens with shear studs at grooves.
Embarking on a Journey: A Comparative Study of Selecting Ideal Migration Destination among Nepalese and Indian Labor Migrants
Authors: Bhatt Deepak Chandra
Published: September 2023

Indian labour migrants come to Nepal in search of better opportunities and at the same time, larger size of Nepali labour migrants migrate to different cities of India. The objective of this study is focused to describe and compare the migration process of labour migrants between Nepal and India. With pragmatism paradigm of post-positivism, mixed methodology (QUAN-qual) has been implemented to explain the research questions, where quantitative is predominant methodology. Quantitative method included survey with a sample of 650 households and qualitative method included one focus group discussion with both migrants group and two key Informant Interviews (KII) having long experience and knowledge in Nepal-India migration. For this research, Bhimdatt Municipality of Kanchanpur district is selected for the study area. The study showed that about 30 percent people from Bhimdatt Municipality migrate to the capital city Delhi. Similarly, 16 percent to Karnataka, 11.4 percent to Punjab, 10.6 percent to Maharashtra, 7.2 percent to Uttarakhand, 6 percent to Haryana and others move to Gujarat, Himanchal Pradesh, Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. This finding challenges Revenstein's theory of migration in which the distance between the origins determines the volume of migration between place of origin and destination i.e., higher the distance, lower the volume of migration and vice versa. The main source of information seems to be generated with relatives and friends (50.9%) for both the migrants. The movement of Nepali labour migrants is found to different big Indian cities with longer distance however Indian labour migrants to Nepal choose near distance as their destination. Near distance, open border and social relationship (network) are the main causes of selection of their particular destinations.
Tinjauan Hukum Islam Perdagangan Mata Uang Digital Perspektif Fatwa tentang Jual-beli Mata Uang Asing dan Saddu Dzari’ah

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tinjauan hukum Islam Perdagangan Mata Uang Digital (Cryptocurrency) dari Perspektif Fatwa Dewan Syariah Nasional MUI No.28/DSN-MUI/III/2002 dan Saddu Dzari’ah. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian studi kasus.  Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Prosedur analisis data dilakukan melalui pemeriksaan, klasifikasi, verifikasi, analisis, dan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga hal. Pertama, praktik perdagangan mata uang digital (cryptocurrency) diawali dengan bagaimana memanfaatkan kondisi pasar ketika mengalami penunuran dan kenaikan harga pada cryptourrency tersebut, Dalam hal ini bagaimana memanfaatkan nilai fluktuatif atas cryptocurrency untuk mendapatkan keuntungan besar, modal yang sedikit dalam rentan waktu yang cepat. namun yang menjadi permasalahan, setiap penentuan menentukan naik-turun harga cryptocurrency sangatlah subjektif apapun teknik dan analisis yang digunakan, pergerakan atas naik turunnya harga cryptocurrency tidak didasari pada hal-hal yang pasti, hanya mendasar pada sedikit-banyaknya supply crypto tersebut, kegiatan jual-beli pada cryptocurrency sendiri. Sehingga timbul transaksi yang hanya bersifat spekulatif dan ketidakjelasan di dalamnya. Kedua, berdasarkan Fatwa DSN MUI No. 28/DSN-MUI/III/2002, bahwa hukum dari perdagangan mata uang digital (cryptocurrency) sendiri adalah haram., Hal ini karena perdagangan mata uang digital cryptocurrency tidak memiliki kesesuaian terhadap ketentuan yang diatur dalam transaksi jual-beli mata uang dalam fatwa tersebut berupa non-spekulatif, hanya untuk kebutuhan transaksional semata, transaksi dilakukan terhadap mata uang sejenis maka nilainya harus sama dan secara tunai, dan jika tidak sesuai maka yang diberlakukan adalah nilai tukar pada saat transaksi tersebut dilakukan, selain hal itu ketidak jelasan underlying asset dan beberapa risiko yang hadir dalam perdagangan tersebut menjadi pertimbangan juga atas pengharaman dari perdagangan mata uang digital (cryptocurrency). Ketiga, segala bentuk perdagangan yang berkaitan dengan mata uang digital ini terindikasi adanya unsur maytsir (perjudian) pada trading, gharar (ketidakjelasan) baik itu pada unsur cryptocurrency sendiri, ghisy (tipu muslihat) sehingga berdasar pada perspektif saddu dzari’ah maka transaksi seperti ni menjadi haram dari objek transaksinya, pengharaman berdasarkan saddu dzari’ah ini didasari atas penggolongan saddu dzari’ah pada aspek segi jenis akibat yang ditimbulkan serta segi dominasi mafsadat atau maslahatnya.

Published: September 2023

The current study was carried out on 20 pea varieties and lines of various origins with a leafless type in the southern forest-steppe of Western Siberia in 2019–2022. The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of varieties and breeding lines of domestic and foreign breeding and identify those suitable for processing into cereals. The trial was laid in the nursery of ecological variety testing according to the generally accepted methodology. The technological quality of grain was estimated according to the method of the State Commission for Variety Testing. Weather conditions were contrasting with periods of severe drought. The most favorable years for the formation of a large productivity of pea seeds (5.11 and 5.01 t/ha, respectively) were 2019 (HTC = 0.99) and 2020 (HTC = 0.60). In 2022 (HTC = 1.04), the lowest yield was obtained on average for the trial (2.22 t/ha, environmental index was 1.78), but with an increased proportion of protein (23.86 %, environmental index was +1,07). The variety ‘Yamalsky’ (2.79–5.61 t/ha) was the best in productivity, yielding to foreign varieties in the formation of protein in seeds (21.7 %). High-protein varieties were ‘Bonus 2’ and ‘L 36/18’ (22.7–26.8 %). There has been established that the highest protein percentage is synthesized at a yield level of 3.8 to 4.3 t/ha. There has been clarified correlation between protein yield per unit of area and productivity (r = 0.92) and protein percentage in seeds (r = 0.50). The correlation between 1000- seed weight and their uniformity was close to functional (r = 0.93), and with the total yield of cereals it was medium negative (r = –0.45), with the yield of shelled peas with undivided cotyledons it was strong negative (r = –0.76). The smallest yield of cereals was obtained from peas with a high percentage of coarse fraction (7.0–6.5 mm). In order to produce cereals with a standardized yield and quality, there have been recommended the variety ‘Blagovest’ and the line ‘L 182/15’. There has been established that among high-yielding varieties (4.27–4.63 t/ha) for the cereal industry there can be used such varieties as ‘Yamalsky’, ‘Krasnoufimsky 11’, ‘Aksaysky usatiy 55’, ‘Salamanka’ with a lower yield of shelled peas with undivided cotyledons (49.9–61, 1 %).

Published: September 2023

Drought is one of the most important factors hindering the cultivation of rice, resulting in large yield losses, and limiting productivity growth. The purpose of the current study was to determine the drought resistance of rice varieties and samples of various origins under conditions of periodic irrigation with periods of prolonged soil aridity and high air temperature, to identify drought-resistant plants for the selection of upland varieties. There have been studied 68 varieties and samples of upland rice when grown on irrigated and flooded areas (Proletarsk, Rostov region). There has been established that varieties and samples under drought conditions and sufficient water supply formed different grain productivity, which in 2020–2021 with a lack of water amounted to 63.7 % of the norm, and in 2022 to 30.1 %. There has been found that the correlation of rice productivity under dry conditions with that under full moisture supply was weak negative (r = –0.22±0.12), and with the drought resistance index (DRI) it was high positive (r = 0.95±0.04). The values of quantitative traits under drought conditions have changed significantly in comparison with the control. Such traits as plant height (95.7 %), panicle length (73.1%), panicle density (58.7 %), number of harvested plants per 1 m2 (87.3 %), plant weight (42.3 %), panicle weight (25.1 %), total number of spikelets (54.5 %) and grains per panicle (32.4 %), 1000-grain weight (70.4 %) have decreased. Such traits as number of productive stems per 1 m2 (115.2 %), tilling capacity (126.1 %), the number of empty spikelets per panicle (205.1 %) and the percentage of empty grains (339.1 %) have increased. There have been identified such 9 varieties and samples with DRI from 51.1 to 93.7 % as ‘Kontro’, ‘An-Yun-Ho’, ‘Chan-Chun-Man’, ‘Hong-Mo’, ‘8323’, ‘8338’, ‘8337’, ‘ZULK 8’, ‘ZULK 9’, which formed maximum productivity in dry conditions (3.95–5.51 t/ha).

Published: September 2023

The purpose of the current study was to develop a new spring barley variety that can form consistently large productivity in different soil and climatic conditions, including regions with frequent droughts. As a result of breeding work at the experimental breeding station ‘Prikumskaya’, a branch of the FSBRI “North Caucasus FRAC”, there was developed a new spring barley variety ‘Stepnyak’ in 2009–2020. The new genotype was obtained as a result of intraspecific hybridization, followed by individual selection from the hybrid population of Nutans g-74840 (EBS ‘Prikumskaya’, a branch of the FSBRI “North Caucasus FRAC”) and Special (ICARDA, Syria). According to maturation terms, the variety belongs to the group of middle maturing varieties. The vegetation period lasts from 75 to 87 days. The new variety has high drought and heat resistance, resistance to lodging and damage by net blotch. During 2020–2022 at the EBS ‘Prikumskaya’, the new variety ‘Stepnyak’, in comparison with the standard, was characterized by a higher productive stem stand with 353 pcs/m2 (+9 pcs. to the standard), number of grain peer head with 21 pcs. (+6 pieces to the standard) and grain yield per total mass of a plant 39.1% (+4.5 % to the standard). The mean variety productivity in the Competitive Variety Testing was 2.42 t/ha and was higher than that of the standard variety ‘Strannik’ on 0.32 t/ ha (15.2 %). The high adaptation of the new variety to changing environmental conditions makes it possible to form a stable productivity increase to the standard variety ‘Strannik’. In 2020, at the EBS ‘Prikumskaya’, with a significant moisture deficit, the variety ‘Stepnyak’ exceeded productivity of the standard variety on 0.30 t/ha. In a more favorable 2021 and 2022 the yield increase varied from 0.24 to 0.43 t/ha. When studying the variety in the Kalmyk Research Institute of Agriculture (in 2021 and 2022), the yield increase to the standard variety ‘Strannik’ was 0.25 t/ha (12.8 %). During the years of the State Variety Testing (2021 and 2022) in the North Caucasus and Low Volga regions, the new variety ‘Stepnyak’ exceeded productivity of the standard on 0.17–0.18 t/ha, respectively. In 2023, the variety ‘Stepnyak’ was included in the State List of Breeding Achievements and recommended for cultivation in the North Caucasus and Lower Volga regions.
Key Management Tools for Managing Tourism Firms and Destinations
Authors: Baiocco ​​Silvia , Paniccia Paola M . A.
Published: September 2023

This chapter offers a sufficiently exhaustive overview of some key management tools appropriately selected by the authors. Given the close in­terconnection between tourism firms and destinations, its premise is that sus­tainable tourism paths can take place if both attempt to properly manage their common problems in the continuous adaptation to environmental evo­lutions. To do so, some tools consolidated in management literature, but still overlooked in tourism research and practice, can be valid support for tourism firms and destinations to analyze their external and internal environments. It is a basic condition to develop adequate knowledge of new opportunities and challenges deriving from the interplay between socioeconomic and environ­mental systems, acting accordingly. Therefore, these tools are needed to im­prove the impact of sustainable tourism through the propagation of sustain­able business models. The chapter represents one of the very few attempts to point out the effectiveness of their joint consideration.

Modeling of Permian stream-bed deposits in the Izhma-Pechora syneclise and the Upper Pechora depression conjunction zone
Authors: Khvorost I. M.
Published: September 2023

In the Izhma-Pechora syneclise, several fields have been discovered that are limited to sand deposits deposits of stream-bed genesis. However, it is difficult to find lithological traps using seismic data due to the complex nature of the distribution of sandy deposits and many discontinuous faults in the Permian terrigenous section. The article attempts to model the continental depositional environment that existed in the Izhma-Pechora syneclise and the Upper Pechora depression conjunction zone during the Ufimsky, Kazansky and Tatar ages of the Permian period. It aims to reconstruct the history of the development of the area and to trace the distribution of alluvial and lacustrine-alluvial sand deposits. DionisosFlow's unique industrial package helps to create a 3-dimensional model of the development of the area, to simulate the process of sedimentation of the target area, and to construct predictive maps of sandstone, siltstone and clay spread. The western part of the modeled area demonstrates the existence of slightly wandering north-easterly directed beds and their small offshoots. The south-eastern part of the area, dated to the Ufimsky age, shows deltaic deposits. The method of predicting the distribution of channel deposits based on sedimentological modeling is supposed to be used for territories uninvestigated by 3D survey. The aim is to locate the source of the reservoir and plan the seismic survey.
Determination of the natural frequencies of the above-ground sections of pipelines transporting an incompressible fluid
Authors: Cherentsov D. A. , Pirogov S. P.
Published: September 2023

Under certain conditions, above-ground sections of pipelines are subject to vibration. Increasing the vibration amplitudes beyond the limits can cause the object to fail. In order to assess the vibration resistance of pipelines and to find the most effective ways of detuning from the resonant frequencies of disturbances, it is necessary to determine the natural frequencies of oscillations and the characteristics of the oscillation processes. The authors of the article developed a mathematical model to determine the frequency of free vibrations of above-ground pipeline sections, taking into account the influence of internal pressure and the velocity of the pumped fluid. As a result, a numerical solution based on the Bubnov-Galerkin method was obtained and a sufficient number of series elements in the approximate solution was determined. The authors performed numerical experiments. These showed that the frequencies should be determined for each section under specific conditions according to the pumping mode.

Glosa poddaje analizie orzeczenie prejudycjalne Trybunału Sprawiedliwości Unii Europejskiej zapadłe w sprawie C-282/19, YT i in. przeciwko MIUR i Ufficio Scolastico Regionale per la Campania, z dnia 13 stycznia 2022 r. Włoski sąd krajowy wystąpił z odesłaniem prejudycjalnym, kwestionując zgodność prawa krajowego z prawem UE. Naruszenie prawa UE miało wynikać z nadużywania kolejnych umów o pracę na czas określony i braku skutecznych środków przeciwdziałania dyskryminacji włoskich katechetów ze względu na religię. Trybunał Sprawiedliwości Unii Europejskiej, dokonując wykładni prawa, potwierdził, iż normy krajowe wykluczające nauczycieli religii katolickiej w szkołach publicznych z zakresu stosowania przepisów mających na celu wyciągnięcie konsekwencji z nadużywania kolejnych umów na czas określony – gdy w wewnętrznym porządku prawnym nie istnieje żaden inny skuteczny środek pozwalający na osiągnięcie tego celu – stanowią naruszenie prawa UE. Stwierdził także, że obowiązek posiadania misji kanonicznej nie stanowi przesłanki znoszącej zakaz dyskryminacji pracowniczej. Glosowane orzeczenie stanowi jedną z wielu spraw dotyczących nadużyć praw pracowniczych we włoskim sektorze publicznym, w którym to obszarze TSUE zasadniczo kontynuuje dotychczasową linię orzeczniczą. Novum w komentowanej sprawie stanowi wykładnia zakazu dyskryminacji ze względu na religię w dostępie do zatrudnienia i pracy. Wbrew wykładni dokonanej przez sąd krajowy, TSUE nie potwierdził istnienia bezpośredniej dyskryminacji ze względu na religię, która jest zakazana na mocy dyrektywy 2000/78 i art. 21 Karty praw podstawowych Unii Europejskiej. Wydaje się, że wyjątkowo wyważone i wstrzemięźliwe stanowisko TSUE wynika z chęci zachowania możliwie szerokiej neutralności w obszarze ściśle związanym z pozycją prawną kościołów i innych wspólnot religijnych, której kształtowanie pozostaje w wyłącznej kompetencji państw członkowskich, zgodnie z art. 17 Traktatu o funkcjonowaniu Unii Europejskiej.
Semi-supervised labelling of chest x-ray images using unsupervised clustering for ground-truth generation

Supervised classifiers require a lot of data with accurate labels to learn to recognize chest X-ray images (CXR). However, manually labeling an extensive collection of CXR images is time-consuming and costly. To address this issue, a method for the semi-supervised labelling of extensive collections of CXR images is proposed leveraging unsupervised clustering with minimum expert knowledge to generate ground truth images. The proposed methodology entails: using unsupervised clustering techniques such as K-Means and Self-Organizing Maps. Second, the images are fed to five different feature vectors to utilize the potential differences between features to their full advantage. Third, each data point gets the label of the cluster’s center to which it belongs. Finally, a majority vote is used to decide the ground truth image. The number of clusters created by the method chosen strictly limits the amount of human involvement. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments were conducted on two publicly available CXR datasets, namely VinDR-CXR and Montgomery datasets. The experiments showed that, for a KNN classifier, manually labeling only 1% (VinDr-CXR), or 10% (Montgomery) of the training data, gives a similar performance as labeling the whole dataset. The proposed methodology efficiently generates ground-truth images from publicly available CXR datasets. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use the VinDr-CXR and Montgomery datasets for ground truth image generation. Extensive experimental analysis using machine learning and statistical techniques shows that the proposed methodology efficiently generates ground truth images from CXR datasets.

This study aims to elucidate the state of research on mobility within socio-educational and technical systems through a comprehensive analysis of primary sources. The methodology employed includes the examination of primary sources, followed by their generalization and systematization, culminating in the synthesis of models. The findings are threefold: Firstly, we trace the evolution of the concept of mobility through scientific literature spanning the 19th to 21st centuries. Secondly, we offer interpretations of various types of mobility within socio-pedagogical and technical discourses. Lastly, we propose an integrative model of mobility tailored for the information society. Our research contributes to the field by providing a theoretical grounding for the interrelation of different types of mobility within socio-pedagogical and technical systems. The practical significance of this study lies in its introduction of new sources on the topic of mobility into scientific discourse.
Досвід реформування судової системи Румунії у контексті протидії корупції на шляху до членства в ЄС
Authors: Мельничук Любов
Published: September 2023

З моменту вступу до ЄС Румунія не лише визнала його принципи та одержала право участі у діяльності усіх інституцій ЄС, а отримала певні зобов’язання. З огляду на це, проведений аналіз діалогу Румунії та інституцій ЄС засвідчив, що основним напрямом співробітництва офіційного Бухареста та Європейської Комісії у перші роки членства були зусилля щодо завершення судової реформи та боротьби з корупцією. При цьому європейські інституції, спостерігаючи за прогресом реформ в Румунії, основну причину гальмування вбачали у конфлікті інтересів та корупції, а також відсутності політичної волі румунського керівництва. Як засвідчили події та висновки Комісії, неефективність системи юриспруденції та проблеми корумпованості усіх сфер життя у Румунії залишаються актуальними й до сьогодні. Проблеми корупції, наявність економічної, політичної та соціальної дестабілізації в Румунії впливали на темпи ходу поглиблення її європейської інтеграції, першочергово на терміни встановлення вільного пересування румунських громадян в межах ЄС. Підґрунтям корупції в Румунії став перетин політичних, економічних та судових інтересів, який спричиняв політичний параліч – відсутність політичної волі для переслідування корупції на найвищому рівні, а також неготовність і боязнь суддів перед винесенням присуду в «авторитетних» справах, які б зумовили зміни в усіх сферах життя.

The main problem in this thesis is the regulation of hate speech in Law Number 7 of 2017, because when the agenda for a democratic party or also known as elections is approaching, the behavior of hate speech has greatly increased. Certain groups of candidates may clash with other supporting groups, so that Article 28E paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, "everyone has the right to freedom of association, assembly and expression of opinions", is very vulnerable to dealing with the right to freedom of opinion and expression. The purpose of this study is to find out more about the regulation of hate speech in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning general elections and siyasa dusturiyyah reviews. To answer the object of the study, the authors used library research using a normative juridical approach with statutory and conceptual approaches. In this case, it includes primary legal materials, namely from laws and regulations, especially Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections and secondary legal materials from legal and Islamic books and journals. In the research that the authors conducted, it can be concluded that, until now, hate speech in elections in Indonesia has not been clearly interpreted, even in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections (Elections) it is not explained in detail regarding how to define, victims, perpetrators, sanctions imposed as well as benchmarks or limitations that can be categorized as hate speech in elections. Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections in fiqh siyasa dusturiyyah, the source of its formation is siyasah wad'iyah because it is produced by mere human thought products which in the drafting process do not pay attention to norms and ethics. Hate speech in Islam is a prohibited act because it can cause harm, especially to the soul, and in it has an element of humiliation, namely lowering one's self-esteem/soul, which should be maintained or guarded for every human being from any group as per the concept of the formulation of the basis of the state (fiqh siyasa dusturiyyah). and the principle is to prioritize guarantees of human rights and realize justice.

In Bukittinggi, the two street vendors are required to pay the rental fee for the kiosk they occupy every month to the Bukittinggi City Market Service Office, then for street vendors who are still selling in places that are not designated for them to trade, they will be given sanctions, such as verbal warnings by the Satpol PP.

In the city of Bukttinggi, the Government has issued Regional Regulation Number 8 of 2014 concerning the Arrangement and Empowerment of Street Vendors.
