Authors: He Chao , Liu Pingping
Published: March 2024

The successful application of cutting-edge computer vision technology to automatic insect classification has long been a focus of research in insect taxonomy. The results of this research have a wide range of applications in areas such as environmental monitoring, pest diagnosis and epidemiology. However, there is still a gap between the current techniques used in automatic insect classification and the latest computer vision techniques. The research in this paper is conducted on Lepidoptera, a class of insects that are widely infested, including butterflies and moths. The study focuses on the application of deep learning algorithms in image processing of Lepidoptera insects. In order to improve the recognition rate for Lepidoptera insect recognition, this paper uses a detection model based on deep neural networks to realize the recognition of Lepidoptera insects in complex environments. Specifically, the yolov7 algorithm is adopted as the basic model for this experiment, and the reasons for using this model are explained in terms of the splicing of network modules, loss function, positive sample allocation strategy, and the merging of convolution and normalization, respectively. Through experiments, it is proved that the algorithm can effectively improve the gesture recognition rate, the recognition accuracy reaches 79.5%, and the recognition speed is as high as 33.08it/s.
Object Localization Algorithm Based on Meta-Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Yan Han , Jiang Hong
Published: March 2024

When the target localization algorithm based on reinforcement learning is trained on few-sample data sets, the accuracy of target localization is low due to the low degree of fitting. Therefore, on the basis of deep reinforcement learning target localization algorithm, this paper proposes a target localization algorithm based on meta-reinforcement learning. Firstly, during the initial training of the model, the meta-parameters were classified and stored according to the similarity of the training tasks. Then, for the new target location task, the task feature extraction was carried out and the meta parameters with the highest similarity were matched as the initial parameters of the model training. The model dynamically updated the meta parameter pool to ensure that the optimal meta parameters of multiple different types of features were saved in the meta parameter pool, so as to improve the generalization ability and recognition accuracy of multiple types of target location tasks. Experimental results show that in a variety of single target localization tasks, compared with the original reinforcement learning target localization algorithm, under the same data set size, the model converges under a small number of training steps with the meta-parameters in the matching meta-parameter pool as the initial training parameters. Moreover, the training speed of the meta-reinforcement learning method based on MAML-RL is increased by 28.2% for random initial parameters, and that of the meta-reinforcement learning method based on this paper is increased by 34.9%, indicating that the proposed algorithm effectively improves the training speed, generalization performance and localization accuracy of object detection.

Published: March 2024

To overcome low efficiency and accuracy of existing forest fire detection algorithms, this paper proposes a network model to enhance the real-time and robustness of detection. This structure is based on the YOLOv5 target detection algorithm and combines the backbone network with The feature extraction module combines the attention module dsCBAM improved by depth-separable convolution, and replaces the loss function CIoU of the original model with a VariFocal loss function that is more suitable for the imbalanced characteristics of positive and negative samples in the forest fire data set. Experiments were conducted on a self-made and public forest fire data set. The accuracy and recall rate of the model can reach 87.1% and 81.6%, which are 7.40% and 3.20% higher than the original model, and the number of images processed per second reaches 64 frames, a growth rate of 8.47%. At the same time, this model was compared horizontally with other improved methods. The accuracy, recall rate and processing speed were all improved in the range of 3% to 10%. The effectiveness of the improved method in this article was verified, and the external perception level of the forest fire scene was deeper.
Evaluation of Energy Complementarity Between Wind, Solar and Water Resources in the Municipality of Lages (Santa Catarina, Brazil)
Authors: Pimentel Lauanne Oliveira , Rosário Jeane de Almeida do
Published: March 2024

Purpose: Evaluate the energy complementarity between hydro, wind, and solar resources, and size a wind system and a photovoltaic system to meet the same production of the CGH Caveiras, (Lages/SC).
 
Methods: Wind and solar systems were sized in order to meet the production of CGH Caveiras, from commercial models of equipment and considering data from 2017 to 2019. To assess complementary, data from the same period were obtained from the river monitoring station of ANA and the meteorological station of INMET.
 
Results and Conclusion: In order to meet the demand of CGH Caveiras, only 1 medium sized wind turbine or 915 photovoltaic modules of the chosen models for the study would be necessary, and both systems could be used to compensate for periods of low hydroelectric production. The complementarity was confirmed through Pearson coefficients, where -0.39 was obtained between hydro and wind, and -0.32 between hydro and solar. Temporal complementarity indices, in turn, indicate complementarity between hydro and solar (κhs = 0.778) and between hydro and wind (κhe = 0.611).
 
Research Implications: Both wind and solar resources exhibit complementarity with the hydro patterns of the study area, and either of the proposed systems, wind or photovoltaic solar, could be used in a hybrid manner with the existing hydroelectric system, especially during periods of droughts.
 
Originality/value: Considering the scarcity of energy complementarity studies in Santa Catarina, as well as the impact of climate change on the hydrological regime and hydroelectric power generation, research of this nature is essential for the region’s energy security.

This also happens to tourists in Bali, Indonesia, one of the favourite destination islands for local and foreign tourists. Foreign tourists visiting Bali Island will initially experience discomfort with the environment due to different cultural backgrounds, especially Bali, which has powerful customs. Foreign tourists must make cultural adaptations to understand and accept new cultural values. This research wants to know the self-adjustment process of foreign tourists in dealing with culture shock on the island of Bali and the obstacles experienced during the adjustment process. This research uses a descriptive approach with primary and secondary data sources in the form of interviews, observation and documentation. Interviews were conducted with foreign tourists living on the island of Bali. Observations were made by going to the field and directly observing tourist interactions with residents. This research shows that each tourist experiences five stages of cultural adaptation: planning, frustration, honeymoon, readjustment, and resolution. Foreign travellers have a different adjustment process at each stage, depending on the country of origin. Culture shock usually occurs during the frustration phase, where travellers have to adapt to the language, food tastes, weather conditions, cost of living, and homesickness.

Authors: Jordan Zoë
Published: March 2024

In recent years, refugee response in Jordan has centred on self-reliance, aiming to support individuals in displacement and contain further movement. However, non-Syrian refugees have been largely overlooked. This article explores the relationship between self-reliance and resettlement for Sudanese refugee men in Amman. Drawing on conceptualizations of work beyond paid labour, I show how refugees have pursued resettlement through relational, emotional, physical, and administrative work. I contribute to understandings of how forced migrants work towards long-term solutions to displacement and add to the limited literature on Sudanese displacement in Jordan.

This qualitative study investigates the development of a social media-based communication system designed to enhance interprofessional communication in Maternal and Child Health (MCH) services between rural healthcare providers and expert medical personnel (EMP) in Bokeo Province, Laos. The study addresses the issue of high maternal mortality rates attributed to poor infrastructure and the lack of timely medical interventions. It proposes using WhatsApp, a popular social media platform in Laos, to bridge this communication gap. Employing a participatory action research approach, the study involved 269 healthcare providers and four EMPs in focus group discussions. These discussions were instrumental in identifying unique communication challenges and potential solutions. Thematic analysis of the data revealed significant barriers to seeking expert advice and underscored the potential of digital health solutions like WhatsApp in overcoming these obstacles. To successfully implement such a system, considerations must include privacy, professionalism, consistent internet connectivity, adequate training, and clear usage guidelines. This study informs the development of a context-specific, comprehensive strategy that integrates technological, infrastructural, financial, educational, and cultural elements to enhance MCH outcomes in remote areas of Laos.
Efficiency of osseodensification versus screw expansion technique for augmentation of narrow alveolar ridges: A comparative clinical study
Authors: Tofan Nawfal H , Al-Hussaini Ali HA , Mustafa Nazih S
Published: March 2024

Background: Alveolar ridge expansion is proposed when the alveolar crest thickness is ≤5 mm. The screw expansion technique has been utilized for many years to expand narrow alveolar ridges. Recently, the osseodensification technique has been suggested as a reliable technique to expand narrow alveolar ridges with effective width gain and as little surgical operating time as possible. The current study aimed to compare osseodensification and screw expansion in terms of clinical width gain and operating time. Materials and methods: Forty implant osteotomies were performed in deficient horizontal alveolar ridges (3–5 mm). A total of 19 patients aged 21–59 years were randomized into two groups: the screw expansion group, which involved 20 osteotomies performed by screw expander drills, and osseodensification group, which comprised 20 osteotomies achieved by osseodensification drilling technique. One millimetre below the alveolar bone crest was measured with a bone caliper at two intervals (before implant osteotomy and after implant osteotomy), and operating time was assessed. Results: Before expansion, the mean alveolar ridge width was 4.20 ± 0.71 mm in the osseodensification group and 4.52 ± 0.53 mm in the screw-expansion group. No statistically significant difference in alveolar bone width before expansion was found between the groups (P > 0.05). After the expansion of the alveolar ridge with osseodensification or screw expansion techniques, the average ridge width was 5.48 ± 0.57 mm in the osseodensification group and 5.71 ± 0.53 mm in the screw-expansion group. Difference in width gain postoperatively between the groups was 0.09 mm, which was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). According to operating time, osseodensification consumed 6.21 ± 0.55 minutes, and screw expansion required 16.32 ± 0.60 minutes for a single implant with a significant difference between the groups (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Alveolar bone expansion by osseodensification showed comparable width gain and less surgical operating time compared with expansion by screw expansion technique.

Authors: Al-Sammraaie Marwa F , Fatalla Abdalbseet A , Atarchi Zaid R
Published: March 2024

Background: The mechanical properties of 3D-printed denture base resins are crucial factors for determining the quality and performance of dentures inside a patient’s mouth. Tensile strength and diametral compressive strength are two properties that could play significant roles in assessing the suitability of a material. Although they measure different aspects of material behavior, a conceptual link exists between them in terms of overall material strength and resilience. Aim: This study aims to investigate the correlation between tensile strength and diametral compressive strength after incorporating 2% ZrO2 nanoparticles (NPs) by weight into 3D-printed denture base resin. Methods: A total of 40 specimens (20 dumbbell-shaped and 20 disc-shaped) were produced via 3D printing and divided into two groups (n = 10): (1) 3D-printed denture base resin without NPs and (2) the resin was strengthened with 2% by weight ZrO2 NPs. Tensile strength and diametral compressive strength were assessed using a universal testing machine. Results: A detrimental relationship was observed between the tensile strength and diametral compressive strength of 3D-printed denture base resin after the addition of NPs. Conclusion: The enhancement of one property does not necessarily mean the enhancement of another. Caution should be taken to not endanger the quality of a material.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of endodontic treatment is to eliminate all germs, microbial by-products, and vital tissues from the root canal system. Root canals can be mechanically and chemically used for this purpose. The needs and details of the irrigation solutions are described in this article. Because of its wide range of antibacterial activities and its ability to dissolve organic tissues, sodium hypochlorite is suggested as the main irrigation. On the contrary, chelation solutions are recommended as supplemental treatments to either eliminate the smear layer or prevent it from forming on the dentin surface. Data: Only articles that were published electronically were searched within the review. Sources: ‘Google Scholar’ and "Pub-med" websites were used to search data, The most papers related to the topic were chosen, specifically original articles , including only articles from 1999 to 2023.Journal papers that weren't published in a highly regarded publication, irrelevant studies, editorials, personal viewpoints, and social media sources were all disqualified from consideration. 98 articles were retained after the filtering procedure. In conclusion, this article reviews many types of new irrigations that may be used in endodontic practice in the future.

Authors: Alameer Murtadha IA , Abdulbaqi Hayder R , Martin Dinesh
Published: March 2024

Green tea is regarded as a healthy beverage due to the biological action of polyphenols, specifically catechins. Researchers investigated the inhibitory effects of green tea (Camellia sinensis) plant on both Gram- positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Periodontitis is mainly initiated when dysbiosis of the subgingival microbiome takes place. Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the key pathogens involved in the initiation and progression of periodontitis when its levels in subgingival biofilm overwhelm the host's immune system. It is the main pathogen that is significantly linked to severe periodontal disease. In this study, details about P. gingivalis including information about its structure, virulence factors were provided. Next, Important points related to green tea, including its active ingredients and antibacterial activity, have been clarified. Finally, the objective of this study was to demonstrate how green tea has antibacterial effects on P. gingivalis.

Published: March 2024

A negligência no ensino de Botânica, especialmente na Educação Básica, leva ao desinteresse sobre o tema. Esse desinteresse pode começar pelo próprio professor, por não entender a temática ou pela falta de afinidade. O objetivo foi analisar as percepções de licenciandos sobre o uso de recursos didáticos na disciplina de Fisiologia Vegetal do curso de Ciências Biológicas de uma universidade pública. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um Grupo Focal com os licenciandos e analisados segundo a metodologia da Análise Textual Discursiva. Observou-se que, dentre os recursos pedagógicos avaliados, o “Painel Interativo da Cadeia Transportadora de Elétrons da Respiração Vegetal”, apresentou-se como o mais interessante, pois este se destaca por ser mais dinâmico e interativo, e por favorecer a aprendizagem significativa.

Authors: Давидова Н. В. , Декусар Г. Г.
Published: March 2024

У статті досліджено поняття «асоціативне поле» як невід’ємна частина опису національної мовної картини світ, а також доведено, що це – сукупна мережа зв'язків мовних одиниць, реалізованих у даній мові, яка забезпечує коректне спілкування тих, хто розмовляє цією мовою. Наданий аналіз таких компонентів асоціативного поля як ядро і периферія, а також взаємозалежність різноманітних смислових, тематико-ситуативних та оцінно-прагматичних асоціацій. Простежено як асоціативні зв’язки відображають комунікативні та когнітивні властивості слів, які мають інформаційно-смислову та прагматичну спрямованість. Проведений авторами статті ретельний аналіз сучасних досліджень і публікацій свідчить, що аналіз асоціативного поля для ідентифікації особливостей національної мовно-культурної системи й надалі досліджується закордонними та вітчизняними вченими, що вказує на актуальність теми. Ключові слова: мовна картина світу, сукупність зв’язків, асоціативне поле, мовна одиниця, прагматична спрямованість, національна свідомість, комунікативна та когнітивна властивість слова, ядро, периферія.
