Authors: Kangarloo Tairmae , Mote Jasmine , Abplanalp Samuel , Gold Alisa , James Peter , Gard David , Fulford Daniel
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Exposure to natural vegetation (ie, “greenspace”) is related to beneficial outcomes, including higher positive and lower negative affect, in individuals with and those without mental health concerns. Researchers have yet to examine dynamic associations between greenspace exposure and affect within individuals over time. Smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and passive sensors (eg, GPS, microphone) allow for frequent sampling of data that may reveal potential moment-to-moment mechanisms through which greenspace exposure impacts mental health.

OBJECTIVE

In this study, we examined associations between greenspace exposure and affect (both self-reported and inferred through speech) in people with and those without schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) at the daily level using smartphones.

METHODS

Twenty people with SSD and 14 healthy controls reported on their current affect 3 times per day over 7 days using smartphone-based EMA. Affect expressed through speech was labeled from ambient audio data collected via the phone’s microphone using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC). Greenspace exposure, defined as the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), was quantified based on continuous geo-location data collected from the phone’s GPS.

RESULTS

Overall, people with SSD used significantly more positive affect words (P=.04) and fewer anger words (P=.04) than controls. Groups did not significantly differ in mean EMA-reported positive or negative affect, LIWC total word count, or NDVI exposure. Greater greenspace exposure showed small to moderate associations with lower EMA-reported negative affect across groups. In controls, greenspace exposure on a given day was associated with significantly lower EMA-reported anxiety on that day (b=–0.40, P=.03, 95% CI –0.76 to –0.04) but significantly higher use of negative affect words (b=0.66, P<.001, 95% CI 0.29-1.04). There were no significant associations between greenspace exposure and affect at the daily level among participants with SSD.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings speak to the utility of passive and active smartphone assessments for identifying potential mechanisms through which greenspace exposure influences mental health. We identified preliminary evidence that greenspace exposure could be associated with improved mental health by reducing experiences of negative affect. Future directions will focus on furthering our understanding of the relationship between greenspace exposure and affect on individuals with and those without SSD.

Abstract— Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease considered one of the oldest diseases in history, which mainly affects the skin and peripheral nerves. In Brazil, there is a need to evaluate and characterize the number of leprosy cases, as well as their distribution throughout the national territory. Thus, the present study aimed to carry out an analysis of the spatial distribution and trace the epidemiological profile of leprosy cases in Brazil between the years 2012 and 2021. For this, data available in the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) were collected and analyzed. The variables evaluated were: Gender, Age group (years), race, education, Type of Output, Classification of leprosy and clinical form. The most affected individuals were men (56.92%), aged between 40 and 59 years (37.68%), mixed race/color (57.89%) and elementary school (48.66%). The states of Maranhão, Mato Grosso and Pará had the highest numbers of leprosy cases in Brazil. Fortunately, most patients have progressed to a cure. Based on the clinical form, there was a predominance of the Dimorphic form, followed by the Virchowian form. In turn, in relation to operational classification, most cases were classified as multibacillary. In conclusion, we emphasize that future studies are needed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on SINAN notifications and confirm whether the reduction in leprosy cases in Brazil is the result of better public policies or due to underreporting. We also present valuable information from states and strategic groups for health campaigns aimed at combating leprosy.

In addition to providing longevity, Modernity brought the imposition of productivity and socialization standards. The present study aimed at thinking about the reflexes of Modernity/Coloniality to human aging. It was carried out an exploratory research with a literature review. Conceptual aspects and issues arising from the Modernity/Coloniality crisis were addressed, which indicates a homogenizing epistemology; dilemma about the (non) place of the elderly; and concepts of Transmodernity and decolonial thinking. It was evident that the elderly person is neglected, being seen as a stigmatized subject and prone to suffer from loneliness and rejection, considered useless to productivist mechanisms, which leads to occupy a non-place in society. It is concluded that it is necessary to think and act in the light of Transmodenity and Decoliality, so that a pluriverse look at aging can be glimpsed in order to break with the reflections of Modernity/Coloniality and it emerges the attention to the formulation, implementation and evaluation of concrete actions that enable the exercise of citizenship for the elderly.

This study aims to identify the types of pathogenic bacteria in mangrove crabs (Scylla serrata) and determine the health condition of mud crabs (Scylla serrata) at farm supply in South Kalimantan Province. The research method used is a case study, with sampling of mangrove crabs by purposive sampling at the farm supplier by considering the form supplier is already a legal entity, is still active in shipping and the frequency of shipments is quite a lot as well as continuous delivery to domestic and export destinations. For locations, sampling of mangrove crabs (Scylla serrata) was carried out at 3 (three) farm suppliers, namely CV. ACS in Banjarbaru City, CV. Three A's in Banjar Regency and UD. SLM in Banjarbaru City. For bacterial examination, it was repeated three times with the number of crab samples adjusted to the delivery population at the time of the study. The results showed that 15 mud crabs were infected with the pathogenic bacteria Plesiomonas sp (42%) followed by Actinobacillus sp. (39%), Vibrio sp. (16%) and Moraxella sp. (3%). The most common type of pathogenic bacteria infecting the farm supplier CV. ACS is a type of Actinobacillus sp. as many as 5 tails, while on the farm supplier CV. Three A are Plesiomonas sp. and Actinobacillus sp each as many as 5 tails and on farm supplier UD. SLM is a type of Plesiomonas sp as many as 6 tails. The condition of the mud crab (Scylla serrata) is declared physically healthy with the characteristics when the swimming legs are pulled away from the carapace and then released, the legs move quickly to their original position, the eye stalks are very responsive, that is, they enter the orbital area when touched, the mouth does not release foam, color The carapace is bright and does not have a bad smell and there are no pathogenic bacteria found in mud crabs that are harmful to the human body or safe for consumption.

THE OVERCONTACT BINARY V563 LYRAE
Authors: Nelson R. H.
Published: November 2022

Radial velocity (RV) and light curve (LC) data for the overcontact binary V563 Lyr have been obtained and analysed with the 2003 version of the WilsonDevinney (WD) code with results K1 = 147.4 ± 2.1 km/s, K2 = 247.2 ± 1.1 km/s, RVγ = 22.5 ± 1.5 km/s, qsp = 0.596 ± 0.008, M1 = 2.49(4)M☉, M2 = 1.45(4)M☉, R1 = 2.23(2)R☉, R2 = 1.81(2)R☉. A third component was identified, with radial velocity RV3 = 18.8 ± 6.7 km/s. Inserting the derived parameters of the eclipsing pair into a Log (L)-Log (Teff) plot for each star using data from Yakut and Eggleton (2005) suggested that both stars are over-luminous and evolved to, and perhaps past, the terminal age main sequence (TAMS). The companion (star 3) has a spectral type of A0 ± 1 spectral subclass but cannot be gravitationally bound to the eclipsing pair, as its flux would dominate that of the pair, which was not observed. The companion must lie at some other distance.
THE HIPPARCOS PLEIADES PARALLAX ERROR IS ALSO A PROPER MOTION ERROR
Authors: Makarov V. V.
Published: November 2022

The mean parallax of the Pleiades open cluster from the Hipparcos catalog is larger than the true value by approximately 1 mas. The origin of this error, as well as a possible algorithm of correcting it, was proposed by Makarov (2002). The problem is reassessed using the more accurate Gaia data with a focus on the predicted correction to the Pleiades proper motions. The accurately determined differences Gaia − Hipparcos for 52 common stars are close to these estimates within the formal uncertainties for all three parameters, which strongly suggests that the proposed interpretation was correct. With adjustments for the systematic vector field fitted with 126 vector spherical harmonics to degree 7, these differences amount to (+0.39, −0.74) mas yr−1 . The implications of small-scale proper motion and position errors in Hipparcos for present day astrometry are briefly discussed.

Abstract: Handwritten recognition of character (HCR) is a significant element in the current world and one of the focused fields in image processing and pattern recognition research. Handwritten recognition of character refers to the process of converting hand-written character into printed/word file character that in many applications may greatly enhance the interaction of man and machine. The styles, varied sizes and orientation angles of the current characters are tough to parse with large variances. In addition, it is hard to split cursive handwritten text as the edges cannot be clearly seen. Many ways of recognizing handwritten data are available. The proposed research is based on 5*5 convolution neural network where the performance of the system has been enhanced in terms of accuracy, precision and recall the data set. The research utilized the real time photos. The processing approaches are followed by binarization, skeletonisation, dilution, resizing, segmentation and extraction. The character characteristics are sent to CNN to train the models after preprocessing. The research achieved 92% accuracy and time delay while detecting the real time Images.
Haze Removal Method for Efficient Visualization of Remotely Sensed Satellite Images
Authors: Mallesh S.
Published: November 2022

Abstract: Images captured in foggy weather conditions often suffer from poor visibility, which will create a lot of impacts on the outdoor computer vision systems, such as video surveillance, intelligent transportation assistance system, remote sensing space cameras and so on. In such situations, traditional visibility restoration approaches usually cannot adequately restore images due to poor estimation of haze thickness and the persistence of color cast problems. In our work, we propose a visibility restoration approach to effectively solve inadequate haze thickness estimation and alleviate color cast problems. By doing so, a high-quality image with clear visibility and vivid color can be generated to improve the visibility of single input image (with fog or haze), as well as the image’s details. Our approach stems from two important statistical observations about haze-free images and the haze itself. First, Wavelet decomposition is applied and LUM Filter is applied on the decomposed image. Finally, we can get the dehazed output.

Published: November 2022

Abstract Malaysia must take the issue of homelessness seriously. Specifically, the homelessness of abandoned children and youths has increased over time due to poverty and the breakdown of the family unit. This phenomenon among the young may negatively impact education, the economy and society. Hence, this paper intends to discuss cultural factors that could have caused homelessness among the subjects, its effects and suggested intervention measures. The study showed that the lack of education among parents, the deaths and losses of family members, and poverty were the main factors leading to homelessness among the young. Consequently, the homeless young become vulnerable to promiscuity, failure in school, illness and crime. Hence, intervention measures like establishing an action plan by the authorities and deriving solutions from the community, parents and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are recommended. Such discussions could provide information to the authorities, such as the Department of Social Welfare (JKM), in determining further action and improving the approaches to help them. Steps like these may also improve the welfare services provided by the government and NGOs when distributing basic needs and social support to the target group. Keywords: homelessness, youth, children, education, poverty Abstrak Isu gelandangan merupakan salah satu isu utama yang perlu dipandang serius di Malaysia. Masalah gelandangan golongan kanak-kanak dan belia dilihat semakin meningkat dari semasa ke semasa kerana faktor kemiskinan dan keruntuhan institusi kekeluargaan. Isu gelandangan dalam kalangan kanak-kanak dan belia mampu memberi impak yang negatif dalam pendidikan, ekonomi dan sosial. Makalah ini akan membincangkan faktor budaya yang menyebabkan golongan kanak-kanak dan belia bergelandangan, kesan dan intervensi kepada masalah gelandangan dalam golongan belia dan kanak-kanak. Faktor ibu bapa kurang ilmu, kematian dan kehilangan ahli keluarga, serta latar belakang keluarga yang miskin didapati menjadi faktor belia dan kanak-kanak bergelandangan. Gelandangan belia dan kanak-kanak mudah terjebak dalam pergaulan bebas, keciciran dalam pendidikan, tahap kesihatan yang terjejas dan penglibatan dalam jenayah. Langkah intervensi seperti penubuhan pelan tindakan oleh pihak berwajib dan saranan penyelesaian oleh masyarakat, ibu bapa, serta Badan Bukan Kerajaan (NGO) juga dibincangkan. Perbincangan sebegini dapat memberi maklumat kepada pihak berkuasa seperti Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) dalam menentukan tindakan dan menambahbaik kaedah yang digunakan dalam membantu golongan gelandangan belia dan kanak-kanak. Oleh itu, kaedah tersebut dapat diaplikasikan untuk menambah baik perkhidmatan agensi kerajaan dan bukan kerajaan semasa menyalurkan keperluan asas serta sokongan sosial kepada golongan ini.

Vertigo And Dizziness Related Disorders: Clinical Spectrum and Management in A Clinic Based Otolaryngology Practice in an Urban Centre
Authors: NATESH VISHWANATH
Published: November 2022

• Background: Vertigo / dizziness is a common problem encountered in
clinical practice. It is described in different ways by each patient.
Hence, it becomes difficult for the clinician to interpret and manage
dizziness suffered by the patients. • Objective: To study demographics,
types of vertigo / dizziness, its impact on the quality of life and
management in a UAE otolaryngology clinic • Method: This is a
retrospective, observational, descriptive study of patients presenting
with dizziness in our medical facility, between September 2019 to March
2022. • Result: In the present study, 58.61% of the patients were male.
Average age of the study population was 42.69 years. Vertigo/spinning
type of dizziness was the most reported symptom. Most reported
associated symptom was nausea, and the trigger was ‘head movement’.
56.30% of the study population was diagnosed with benign paroxysmal
positional vertigo (BPPV). Most used diagnostic tool was Dix-Hallpike
maneuver, and the management method was particle repositioning maneuver.
The average baseline Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) score was 19.37
(± 13.46), which reduced to 9.22 (±10.94) three weeks after treatment (p
value <0.0001). • Conclusion: Vertigo / dizziness related to
peripheral causes accounts for a significant proportion of cases in
routine otolaryngology practice. From our study we can easily conclude
that vertigo / dizziness related disorders negatively affect QOL. Proper
diagnosis and management would help to improve the symptoms and QOL.
Simple office-based, patient-oriented detail history taking, and
clinical examination is important in the diagnosis and management of the
dizziness. History taking or questions should focus on the type of
dizziness, associated features, duration, and triggers which would help
in pinpointing differential diagnosis and the management. Red flags like
focal neurological signs should be taken seriously and investigated
further. Keywords: Dizziness, vertigo, Dix-Hallpike maneuver, particle
repositioning maneuver, DHI

Published: November 2022

The role of ISG15 (Interferon-Stimulated Gene 15) is becoming
increasingly acknowledged in cancer, pathogen infection and inflammatory
immune diseases. ISG15 expression increases in human psoriatic skin, and
genetic mutations of ISG15 cause dermatological alterations. Here, we
show that ISG15 deficiency leads to reduced inflammation and swelling in
a murine model of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Bone marrow
transplantation and adoptive transfer approaches demonstrate that ISG15
alters dendritic cell (DC) responses in the ACD mouse model.
Consistently, Isg15-deficient DCs secrete reduced amounts of
pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-12. This study opens
new avenues to potentiate immunotherapies to treat immune-related
dermatological disorders.
Influence of Micro-blowing technique hole parameters on drag reduction of civil aircraft engine nacelle
Authors: Arafa Mushfiq Al , Mutekwa Macdonald , MD Kamruzzaman
Published: November 2022

The numerical parametric analysis conducted to analyze the impact of
micro-blowing technique (MBT) hole-parameters are quite few at the
present stage. This paper aims to analyze the effects of micro blowing
and its different hole-parameters on the skin friction drag reduction of
an engine nacelle operating at cruise conditions. The primary task is to
observe the flow behavior at the vicinity of the holes. The interaction
between main-stream and micro-channel flow is solved, using the RANS
equation and k-omega SST is used to model the turbulent flow at the wall
region. The hole-pattern is aligned in a single-row channel and the hole
cross-section shape is kept straight to obtain an overall simplicity of
the model. The influences of the micro blowing are visible from the
simulation results, as there is a significant reduction in the velocity
gradient between the solid nacelle surface and all the MBT
configurations. The porous nacelle surface with zero blowing velocity
has less friction drag than of its solid surface, implying that the
presence of the holes possesses low effective surface roughness. The
optimum friction drag reduction is observed when the geometrical
attributes of the holes possess small diameter and high aspect ratio.
A supergene affects steroid metabolism during early ontogeny in a bird with alternative reproductive morphs
Authors: Giraldo-Deck Lina Maria , Loveland Jasmine , Goymann Wolfgang , Lank David , Kupper Clemens
Published: November 2022

Reproductive phenotypes are shaped by genetic, physiological and
environmental variation that an organism experiences during ontogeny.
Steroid hormones play an integrative role in this process through both
genomic and non-genomic pathways. Differences in steroid hormone
metabolism may be rooted in genomic variation. Here we evaluate the
influence of supergene variants underlying alternative reproductive
tactics on sex steroid metabolism during ontogeny in ruffs (Calidris
pugnax). Adult ruff males exhibit three male mating morphs called
Independents, Faeders and Satellites, that differ prominently in
circulating androgen (testosterone and androstenedione) concentrations.
Across morphs and sexes chicks showed similar mean androgen
concentrations during ontogenetic development. However, variances in
circulating androgens showed the same pattern as corresponding variances
previously observed in adults. HSD17B2 had been previously identified as
a key gene for mediating differences in androgen levels between morphs
as it encodes the enzyme that converts testosterone to androstenedione
and is located within the supergene. Observed HSD17B2 expression in
embryonic brain tissue was consistent with predictions based on genetic
and endocrine differences. Taken together, the observed differences in
circulating androgen concentrations and gene expression point to
testosterone synthesis as a key mechanism that shapes developmental
trajectories and differences in brain organization among morphs.
Inverse coefficient problem for a time - fractional wave equation with initial - boundary and integral type overdetermination conditions
Authors: Turdiev H.H. , Durdiev D. K.
Published: November 2022

This paper considers the inverse problem of determining the
time-dependent coefficient in the time-fractional diffusion-wave
equation. In this case, an initial boundary value problem was set for
the fractional diffusion-wave equation, and an additional condition was
given for the inverse problem of determining the coefficient from this
equation. First of all, it was considered the initial boundary value
problem. By the Fourier method, this problem is reduced to equivalent
integral equations. Then, using the Mittag-Leffler function and the
generalized singular Gronwall inequality, we get apriori estimate for
solution via unknown coefficient which we will need to study of the
inverse problem. The inverse problem is reduced to the equivalent
integral of equation of Volterra type. The principle of contracted

Land resource inventory (LRI) of Kumarchincholi micro watershed was
conducted on cadastral base map of 1:7920 and merged imagery of
Cartosat-1 and LISS-IV to find out the Soil and land potential zones.
With the help of surface and profile sample analysis, soil and land
characterization was done to classify the soils into different soil
series with their phase denoted as mapping units. Thematic layers such
as soil texture, depth, slope; erosion, soil organic carbon and soil map
were prepared on cadastral base map. By considering Storie rating of
each parameter of a mapping unit, surface and subsurface features of
soil and land were assigned with different weights as per Analytic
Hierarchic Process (AHP). The soil and land potential zones were
obtained by overlaying all the thematic maps as per weighted overlay
methods using the spatial analysis tool in ArcGIS 10.6.1 as High
potential zone (419.95 ha) and Low potential zone (144.81 ha). Both the
potential zones were assessed with crop suitability categories
established based on LRI finding as S1, S2, S3 & N for major field and
horticultural crops cultivated in the study area. Crops with S1 & S2
category were found falling under High potential zone. Whereas, crops
with S2, S3 &N categories were found falling under Low potential zone.
The outcome of the investigation aims to identify the soil and land
potential zones at micro watershed level for each mapping unit, which
can be scaled up to sub-watershed, where similar mapping units and
conditions are prevailing.

Bladder prolapse is a rare condition in mares and may occur as a result
of excessive straining during the parturition or in the postpartum
period. We report a case of dystocia associated prolapse and
incarceration of the small colon through the external urethral opening
into a prolapsed urinary bladder. No previous reports of this condition
were found. An 11-year-old Thoroughbred mare was presented to The Equine
Hospital at the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia for evaluation and treatment
of dystocia. Prolapse of the urinary bladder was concomitantly
diagnosed. Initial assessment deemed replacement of the urinary bladder
in the normal position and vaginal delivery not possible. The mare was
immediately prepared for caesarean section. The foal was successfully
delivered and resuscitated. Detailed assessment of the bladder during
the surgery revealed that the small colon had prolapsed through the
external urethral opening and was inside the bladder. The urinary
bladder was opened. The small colon was replaced into the abdominal
cavity; a first surgeon gently replaced the small colon through the
external urethral sphincter and a second surgeon retrieved the small
colon by gentle traction. The mare recovered uneventfully from general
anaesthesia. The mare and the foal were discharged from the hospital
seventeen days post-operatively.

Hybridization can have a profound negative effect on population fitness
when species exhibit divergence in adaptive traits. The Streamside
salamander, Ambystoma barbouri, and the Smallmouth salamander, A.
texanum, are closely related species differentiated primarily by
breeding habitat and reproduction-related traits, but previous work
suggests patterns of hybridization and introgression between them. Here
we investigate whether 1) hybridization occurs between the two species
in laboratory settings, 2) their divergent reproduction-related traits
are retained under a common treatment, and 3) hybrid offspring exhibit
similar fitness as their non-hybrid counterparts. We bred conspecific
and heterospecific pairs of A. barbouri and A. texanum and raised hybrid
and non-hybrid offspring to metamorphosis. Reproduction-related traits
such as oviposition location and clutch size remained well
differentiated between the two species. Heterospecific pairs hybridized
readily, at similar rates to conspecific pairs. The hybrid larvae
generally exhibited a maternal effect and, less frequently, intermediate
phenotypes with respect to measured traits. Hybrid larvae did not
exhibit reduced fitness as measured by survival to metamorphosis. Our
results suggest that traits differentiating A. barbouri and A. texanum
are likely genetically determined despite the lack of reproductive
isolation between them. This suggests that the generally parapatric
distribution of the two species, often paired with abrupt transition in
traits, might be driven by selection on these traits in local habitats.
Further, the maternal effect and consequent lack of intermediate
phenotypes observed for several traits likely reduces the negative
effect of hybridization in locally adapted populations.

The aim of this work was to study the behavior, productivity and conditions of second lactation Bos taurus during the period of adaptation to new keeping and milking conditions. Thirty-four cows of the local black-and-white breed of the second lactation (24–47 days after calving) were transferred from a brick barn for 100 heads with tie-stall keeping in a newly low cost housing facility for 400 heads with free-stall keeping. Milking equipment also changed: before the changing conditions of keeping, cows were milked in the milk duct at UDM-100, and after changing the conditions in the milking parlor at Carousel, 32 cows were milked at the same time. We divided the first 30 days in the new conditions of keeping and milking into VI periods. The duration of the main behavioral reactions: lying down, drinking, and eating food in the first days after changing the conditions of keeping and milking decreased significantly – by 181; 13 and 89 min, respectively. Behavioral responses at the end of the adaptation period (30 days) was lower than on the last day before changing housing and milking conditions. During the first 5 days after the change of housing and milking conditions, the average productivity of cows decreased by 1.39 kg (or 6.01%), content of milk fat, protein and lactose by 0.03; 0.02 and 0.04%, respectively compared to the last day before the transfer of animals. As for the fat content, the level of the indicator of the last day before the cows transfer was reached in the IV period; protein and lactose in the ІІІ period (11–15 days).

Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) grain is the main raw material for the production of high-quality pasta and cereal products. The research was conducted at Uman National University of Horticulture (Ukraine) in a long-term stationary experiment, founded in 2011. The aim of the work was to study the impact of long-term use of various fertilization systems (with incomplete return of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash fertilizers) on the yield and quality of durum winter wheat grain. The long-term application of nitrogen, nitrogen-potassium, nitrogen-phosphorus and nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium systems in the field crop rotation has a strong impact on the formation of durum winter wheat yield. Long-term use of N150P60K80 increases it from 3.6 t ha-1 up to 4.9 t ha-1 (p≤0.05). The use of half a dose of complete mineral fertilizer provides 4.5 t ha-1 (p≤0.05). Variants with incomplete return of phosphoruspotassium fertilizers, as well as paired combinations with a nitrogen component, provide the formation of 4.6–4.8 t ha-1 grains. Nitrogen fertilization systems increase grain yield to 4.2–4.5 t ha-1 depending on the fertilizer dose. It should be noted that durum winter wheat responds well to the use of nitrogen fertilizers, as the protein content increases from 13.3 to 14.8–15.9 % (p≤0.05), and the gluten content from 28.0 to 31.1–33.4% (p≤0.05) depending on the fertilization system. The protein content was most affected by the application of nitrogen component from complete mineral fertilizer.

Transportation of information across the internet necessitates security concerns. Internally, transmission of data in organisation must also be secured, according to security standards. In a typical distribution, all traffic transferred via the public network (Internet) is secured. However, sensitive information must not be easily accessible in the event that an attacker compromises any services on the hosts and gains access to their resources. The advancement of information technology has enabled large amounts of digital data to be reliably transported through unrestrained communication channels. Today’s information world is a digital world. Data transmission over an unsecure channel is becoming a major issue of concern nowadays. And at the same time intruders are spreading over the internet and being very active. So to protect the secret data from theft, some security measures need to be taken. In order to keep the data secret various techniques have been implemented to encrypt and decrypt the secret data. Findings of this study show how steganography and cryptography techniques are used for efficient data hiding to prevent unauthorised access to confidential and sensitive information. The study present recommendation for policy and practice. Keywords: Efficiency, Data Hiding Scheme, Steganography, Cryptography, Security
Metaheuristic approaches for the green vehicle routing problem
Authors: Matijevic Luka
Published: November 2022

The green vehicle routing problem (GVRP) is a relatively new topic, which aims to minimize greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions produced by a fleet of vehicles. Both internal combustion vehicles (ICV) and alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) are considered, dividing GVRP into two separate subclasses: ICV-based GVRP and AFV-based GVRP. In the ICV-based subclass, the environmental aspect comes from the objective function which aims to minimize GHG emissions or fuel usage of ICVs. On the other hand, the environmental aspect of AFV-based GVRP is implicit and comes from using AFVs in transport. Since GVRP is NP-hard, finding the exact solution in a reasonable amount of time is often impossible for larger instances, which is why metaheuristic approaches are predominantly used. The purpose of this study is to detect gaps in the literature and present suggestions for future research in the field. For that purpose, we review recent papers in which GVRP was tackled by some metaheuristic methods and describe algorithm specifics, VRP attributes, and objectives used in them.

Based on the volume of tailings releases and the distance they travelled, the Fundão Dam failure in southeast Brazil (Mariana, Minas Gerais state) was the largest ever environmental disaster in Brazil’s mining industry, and one of the world’s most serious. As they dispersed downriver, the tailings accumulated along the riverbanks and reached the Rio Doce estuary in the Eastern Brazilian Marine Ecoregion. When the dam failed, the mining company and government agencies conducted rapid assessments. But while the government set up a five-year monitoring programme, it took almost a year after the disaster to issue official guidelines and another two years of negotiations and approvals before the data collection began. In this Thematic Report, the Rio Doce Panel looks at government mandated monitoring reports as well as peerreviewed papers, most of which were authored by independent researchers, to assess our knowledge about the disaster’s impacts on marine and coastal areas.
