Authors: Chowdhury Subrata
Published: June 2021

— Over the last decade, Dhaka city of Bangladesh
has experienced significant changes throughout its
landscape and an extreme growth in population. As a result
of environmental, economic, or demographic crises,
Pressure increase on housing due to rapid urbanization and
rural urban migration causes growth of slums and squatter
settlements. Slums are residential areas of very high
population density, high room density and poor housing
with inadequate access to basic civic amenities. The specific
objectives of the study are to explore the to investigate the
existing water supply facilities and to know the drinking
water quality of selected slums in Dhaka city. Korail slum
and Geneva Camp slum have been randomly selected.
Overall environment of the slum areas is disappointing due
to unplanned housing, drains, roads and different
authorized & unauthorized shops. The chemical quality of
drinking water is satisfactory but microbiological quality of
water is not up to the standard of drinking water. Due to the
involvements of the Government, DWASA, and other
national and international Non-Government Organization
(NGO) s, the slums are getting access to pure drinking water
supply although these are still insufficient.

AN OVERVIEW OF CRIME ANALYSIS, PREVENTION AND PREDICTION USING DATA MINING BASED ON REAL TIME AND LOCATION DATA
Authors: Ogochukwu C Okeke , Forster O. Oranyelu
Published: June 2021

Crime analysis and prevention is a
systematic approach for identifying and analyzing patterns
and trends in crime. The system can predict regions which
have high probability for crime occurrence and can
visualize crime prone areas. With the increasing advent of
computerized systems, crime data analysts can help the
Law enforcement officers to speed up the process of
solving crimes. Using the concept of data mining, real time
and location data, the system can extract unknown, useful
information from an unstructured data. Here we have an
approach between computer science and criminal justice
to develop a data mining, real time and location data
procedure that can help solve crimes faster. Instead of
focusing on causes of crime occurrence like criminal
background of offender, political enmity etc. we are
focusing mainly on crime factors of each day. To have a
better response towards criminal activity, it is very
important that one should understand the patterns in
crime. I analyses these patterns by taking crime datasets
from the Nigeria Police zone six (6) Calabar, Cross River
State and town planning bodies. This dataset includes
different streets of the city of Calabar. The major aim of
this mission is to expect which category of crime is most
probably to take place at a detailed time and places in Calabar.

Can voice similarity be assessed using an automatic speaker recognition system?
Authors: Gerlach Linda , McDougall Kirsty , Kelly Finnian , Alexander Anil
Published: June 2021

How Automatic Speaker Recognition (ASR) systems ‘perceive’ voice similarity is of increasing relevance in forensic phonetics. Assessing perceived voice similarity is fundamental to the execution of voice parades (analogous to visual parades) to ensure a comparison between voices that is fair to the suspect. Currently, the assessment of voice similarity is time-consuming and expensive as it involves recruiting naïve listener participants. A recent study by Gerlach et al. (2020) showed promising results regarding the relationship between human and machine voice similarity ratings using an ASR system for a group of SSBE speakers. The present study further explores the topic by evaluating the correlation of voice similarity ratings by humans and the ASR system across sets of same- and different-accented English speakers. Results corroborate previous findings: the correlation between ASR and human voice similarity ratings is positive and significant, supporting further investigation of its potential use in voice parade construction.

Cooperative transport of large food loads by Paratrechina longicornis ants demands repeated decision-making. Inspired by the Evidence Accumulation (EA) model classically used to describe decision-making in the brain, we conducted a binary choice experiment where carrying ants rely on social information to choose between two paths. We found that the carried load performs a biased random walk that continuously alternates between the two options. We show that this motion constitutes a physical realization of the abstract EA model and exhibits an emergent version of the psychophysical Weber’s law. In contrast to the EA model, we found that the load’s random step size is not fixed but, rather, varies with both evidence and circumstances. Using theoretical modeling we show that variable step size expands the scope of the EA model from isolated to sequential decisions. We hypothesize that this phenomenon may also be relevant in neuronal circuits that perform sequential decisions.

In the 2007 Niigataken Chuetsu-oki earthquake, soil settlement, considered to be a result of the relative displacement between the soil and the structure, occurred alongside buildings at Kashiwazaki–Kariwa nuclear power plant. The objective of this study is to evaluate accurately the influence of the nonlinear behavior of the soil-structure interface on the response of the reactor building using a three-dimensional finite element model. To achieve this, we modeled the separation and sliding from sidewalls during a severe earthquake using joint elements, and evaluated the effect on the horizontal response of the structure. Through the soil-structure interaction analyses based on the recorded seismic data on the foundation for unit 7 reactor building using the three-dimensional finite element model, it was confirmed that the simulated horizontal responses of the building corresponded to the recorded seismic data. In addition, the comparison of the cases with and without separation and sliding revealed that the separation and sliding of soil from sidewalls reduces the embedment effects of the structure and that the reduction causes an occurrence of the foundation uplift. Moreover, in this study, it was clarified that the increase of the foundation uplift affected both the soil pressure characteristics beneath the foundation and along the sidewalls, and the maximum acceleration response of structures. In this study, the separation and sliding of soil from sidewalls had only a limited influence on the structural responses; however, under severe seismic excitation, it is expected that the embedment effects will be significantly reduced due to the separation and sliding of soil. Therefore, a precise response evaluation of the building including the nonlinear behavior due to separation and sliding should be considered in the seismic response analyses under severe seismic excitation.

Prostate cancer is one of the most severe male malignant tumors, which ranks second in mortality rate among all tumors. Traditional methods of treatment for prostate cancer produce obvious side effects and a high recurrence rate. Cancer stem cells are considered to be a group of cells that determine the proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance of tumor. Prostate cancer therapy based on microRNAs and prostate cancer stem cells (PCSCs) has been a research hot spot in this field. Previous studies have reported that miR-197 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of prostate cancer, but the molecular mechanism of miR-197 on the development of prostate cancer has not been reported yet. In this study, we verified that miR-197 is significantly overexpressed in prostate cancer tissues and prostate cancer cells. Then, we verified that miR-197 expression affects the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of prostate cancer cells by regulating integrin subunit alpha V (ITGAV) expression through STAT5 pathway, and the results indicated that the miR-197 inhibitor can be a prostate cancer suppressor. Then we synthesized the AbCD133@GNR@MSNs@miR-197 inhibitor drug carrier, in which 35.42 μg of the miR-197 inhibitor could be loaded in 1 mg of AbCD133@GNR@MSNs. The AbCD133@GNR@MSNs@miR-197 inhibitor demonstrated good photothermal properties and photothermal controlled-release properties. The modified CD133 antibodies on the surface of the nano drug carrier helped more drug carriers to enter the PCSCs. The pharmacodynamic effects of the AbCD133@GNR@MSNs@miR-197 inhibitor on PCSCsin vivoandin vitrowere studied under near-infrared radiation. The results showed that the AbCD133@GNR@MSNs@miR-197 inhibitor prepared in this study could not only significantly suppress the development of PCSCs through ITGAV/STAT5 pathway but also significantly suppress the growth of PCSC solid tumors. In short, our study verified that miR-197 regulates the development of PCSCs through STAT5 pathway by targeting ITGAV, and the AbCD133@MSNs@GNR@miR-197 inhibitor could be a potential suppressor used in prostate cancer treatment. In short, our study found that miR-197 affected the development of prostate cancer by regulating ITGAV. The AbCD133@GNR@MSNs@miR-197 inhibitor prepared in this study could suppress the development and growth of PCSCsin vitroand in solid tumors not only by targeting the ITGAV but also through photothermal therapy. Our study not only provides a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of prostate cancer but also provides a research scheme of drug loading and microRNA-based photothermal controlled therapy for prostate cancer.

Sperm quality is usually evaluated prior to artificial insemination in farm animals. In addition to conventional semen analysis, other biomarkers, such as mitochondrial activity, integrity and lipid disorder of plasma membrane, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and sperm DNA integrity, have been found to be related to fertility rates in different species. While mounting evidence indicates that the Comet assay is a sensitive method for the detection of DNA breaks, complete sperm chromatin decondensation is required in order to properly analyze the presence of single- and double-strand DNA breaks. In this sense, a previous study showed that longer lysis treatment with proteinase K is needed to achieve complete chromatin decondensation. The current work sought to determine which specific lysis treatment leads to complete chromatin decondensation in pig sperm, as this is needed for the measurement of DNA damage in this species. With this purpose, incubation with a lysis solution containing proteinase K for 0, 30, and 180 min was added to the conventional protocol. The impact of the DNA damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 0.01 and 0.1%) and DNAse I (1U and 4U) was also evaluated. Complete chromatin decondensation was only achieved when a long additional lysis treatment (180 min) was included. Furthermore, olive tail moment (OTM) and percentage of tail DNA (TD) indicated that a higher amount of DNA breaks was detected when hydrogen peroxide and DNAse I treatments were applied (P < 0.05). The comparison of treated and control sperm allowed defining the thresholds for OTM; these thresholds revealed that the percentage of sperm with fragmented DNA determined by the alkaline Comet does not depend on chromatin decondensation (P > 0.05). In conclusion, complete chromatin decondensation prior to alkaline and neutral Comet assays is needed to analyze DNA breaks in pig sperm.
Perspective: Extending the Utility of Three-Dimensional Organoids by Tissue Clearing Technologies

An organoid, a self-organizing organ-like tissue developed from stem cells, can exhibit a miniaturized three-dimensional (3D) structure and part of the physiological functions of the original organ. Due to the reproducibility of tissue complexity and ease of handling, organoids have replaced real organs and animals for a variety of uses, such as investigations of the mechanisms of organogenesis and disease onset, and screening of drug effects and/or toxicity. The recent advent of tissue clearing and 3D imaging techniques have great potential contributions to organoid studies by allowing the collection and analysis of 3D images of whole organoids with a reasonable throughput and thus can expand the means of examining the 3D architecture, cellular components, and variability among organoids. Genetic and histological cell-labeling methods, together with organoid clearing, also allow visualization of critical structures and cellular components within organoids. The collected 3D data may enable image analysis to quantitatively assess structures within organoids and sensitively/effectively detect abnormalities caused by perturbations. These capabilities of tissue/organoid clearing and 3D imaging techniques not only extend the utility of organoids in basic biology but can also be applied for quality control of clinical organoid production and large-scale drug screening.
