Segregation, Diversity, and Pathology: School Quality and Student Demographics in Gentrifying New York
Authors: Freidus Alexandra
Published: September 2022

Discussions of school integration often contrast the perceived deficits of segregated schools with the perceived strengths of schools with diverse student bodies. In this study, I examine the relationships that school community members perceive between student demographics and school quality in diversifying areas of New York City. Using portraiture, I find that New Yorkers reluctantly re-inscribed the stigma associated with segregated schools, assuming that the best way to improve a school was to increase its diversity. These racialized discourses of pathology and diversity call into question the extent to which advocacy for integration advances the goals of educational justice.

Published: September 2022

The teaching-learning process is analyzed in a course for a group of professors who were taught subjects on Calculus, to study the episodes of problem-solving in them, focused on the identification of patterns and argumentation using counterexamples. The explanation and the argument in the classroom can be used together so that the argument (issued as a counterexample) supports the explanation (conjecture). Developing the mathematics class so that the above occurs is a form of interaction and how to encourage students to move from explanation to argumentation (placing a hybrid system). Furthermore, both forms of reasoning can influence dialogue protocols and strategies. In this work, the dialogue model is described as a tool to address the problem that arises when working with students.
Looking Smart: Race and Academic Ability in a Diversifying Middle School
Authors: Freidus Alexandra
Published: September 2022

Drawing on a year of participant-observation in an untracked, diversifying middle school, I examine how sixth graders positioned themselves and were positioned by others as “smart” or “not smart.” I focus on peer interactions in during cooperative small-group instruction, identifying the material, relational, and ideational resources students used to navigate academic and racial hierarchies. I explore implications for researchers and practitioners who seek to disrupt racialized academic outcomes in untracked classrooms.

La Procuraduría General de la Nación es una entidad administrativa de carácter nacional, funge como el máximo organismo del Ministerio Público. Dicho ente, dentro de sus funciones tiene el de representar a los ciudadanos de a pie, ejerciendo control a los servidores públicos, mediante la facultad disciplinaria, que en virtud tanto de la ley como de la Constitución del año 1991 se le ha conferido. Es la entidad con facultad preferente, encargada de investigar, adelantar procesos y sancionar a los servidores públicos, incluso de aquellos que han sido elegidos mediante la voluntad popular, expresada a través del voto; los cuales, en el ejercicio del cumplimiento de sus funciones, cometan faltas disciplinarias consagradas en la norma colombiana, dentro de las cuales se enmarcan como tal, la violación a los principios generales de la Contratación estatal. Esta  facultad disciplinaria, se encontró en vilo de acuerdo a la decisión adoptada por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos humanos en relación al caso Petro Urrego vs Colombia, donde se indicó que la entidad administrativa carece de total competencia para sancionar a los funcionarios públicos de elección popular en Colombia, de conformidad con el artículo 23 de la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos; por tal motivo se planteó encontrar ¿qué limites aunados a este se le presentan a la Procuraduría cuando se trata de sancionar a los referidos funcionarios, al momento en que estos violen en alguna medida los principios generales de contratación estatal?.

Threats of Microplastic Pollution on Aquaculture Activities in Indonesia
Authors: Wicaksono Ega Adhi
Published: September 2022

Aquaculture is a growing fisheries sector. Along with the growth of aquaculture, water quality problems become one of the main factors that need to be considered, especially related to pollution pressure. Microplastic (MPs) is a pollutant sourced from anthropogenic activities and is currently in the spotlight and has been widely studied in aquatic environments around the world. However, in Indonesia, research related to MP especially in term of aquaculture activities is still lacking. The presence of MP in aquaculture activities can originate from internal sources such as the use of unmaintained aquaculture equipment/facilities and the use of feed contaminated with MP. Then, the external source of MP at the cultivation location can come from water sources that come from an environment that has been previously polluted by MP. Maintenance of aquaculture equipment/facilities, search for alternative feed raw microplastic free materials and protection of the aquatic environment from MPs are some of the ways to reduce the presence of MP in aquaculture sites. The existence of MP in aquaculture activities is related to food safety of aquaculture commodities.

One of the most crucial aspects of communication in daily life is speech recognition. Speech recognition that is based on natural language processing is one of the essential elements in the conversion of one system to another. In this paper, we created an interface that transforms speech and other auditory inputs into text using a digital filter. Contrary to the many methods for this conversion, it is also possible for linguistic faults to appear occasionally, gender recognition, speech recognition that is unsuccessful (cannot recognize voice), and gender recognition to fail. Since technical problems are involved, we developed a program that acts as a mediator to prevent initiating software issues in order to eliminate even this little deviation. Its planned MFCC and HMM are in sync with its AI system. As a result, technical errors have been avoided.
Operation of Wireless Humanoid Robot using Graphene Embedded Bend Sensor and Internet of Things Technology

Published: September 2022

The use of Robots is a trending technology but automation and Artificial Intelligence are not fully achieved till date. This paper aims to propose an innovative system to integrate human intelligence with Robotics. The robots which have been designed to work in harsh conditions are controlled using graphene-based flexible bend sensors. These sensors are applied to the human body and are powered by solar energy. Here a flexible sensor is applied on each bend on the human body and respective data of bend angle is transmitted to the raspberry pi 3 model B kits which are programmed to act accordingly and the same bend is obtained in the Robot. The sensor which we have used in this project removes the messy wiring and there is no need to wear any kind of suit. The required movements for the robot are produced by a human after applying the sensors on each joint. It looks like a pasting that is pasted across the joint. These sensors are made from a biocompatible material, thus does not have any dermatological ill effect on the operator. The graphene-based sensor has a subsequent role in robotics as they develop position matrices that determine the current position of various members of the humanoid robot. Robotic application demands sensors with a higher degree of repeatability, precision, and reliability which is obtained using the Graphene-based bend sensors. Each sensor is self-capable to carry out motion of one degree of motion. The use of an accelerometer attached along with the sensor helps to control the speed of robotic operation. This system is suitable to control the robot from a distance and uses it in critical conditions with the intelligence of the human being who is operating it, the rise in temperature leads to an increase in the time-lapse in command and action. But still, it can be treated as the substitute for artificially intelligent robots as we have not reached the level of intelligence in human beings. This work is based on the combined concepts of mechanical, computer, and electronics engineering.

An integrated assessment of morphometric parameters has been conducted in this study with an objective of to develop the watershed and manage the available water resources in a hard rock terrain area at Karkala Taluk, Karnataka. According to the analysis of the Karkala micro-watershed, which is classified as closed basin with third-order dendritic drainage pattern, the watershed has a dense canopy of vegetation, a low relief, minute runoff, and a high infiltration rate. Drainage patterns are not greatly affected by geological structures. The basin's elongated shape is supported by the form factor, circulation ratio, and elongation ratio numbers. The Karkala micro-watershed's longitudinal profile exhibits a sharp gradient in the initial stages that has been progressively flattening as the river has weakened. Hypsometric integral found for the Karkala micro watershed is 0.5, showing the maturity stage of the basin. Low values for drainage density and texture, stream frequency, and infiltration number suggest that permeable rocks are underling and this controls the runoff in study area. Therefore, the integrated results of the morphometric assessment at the micro watershed level would be helpful for developing and managing water resources as well as for water harvesting.

Culture and Tradition: Their Socio-Economic Implications on the Traditional Marriage Rites among the Obudu People of Cross River State
Authors: Undiyaundeye Florence , Ogar Lady Josphine , Agbama Inakwu Augustine
Published: September 2022

The Obudu Community of Northern part of Cross River State is made of ten political wards with about five languages spoken with dialectal differences. The people are very friendly and richly blessed with an enviable traditional marriage system which this paper chooses to x-ray regarding the way culture and tradition influences it. The paper also examines the socio-economic implications on the less privileged since marriage, they say, is the beginning of a legitimate family in all societies of the world and certain rules are established in order to specify unions that can be called marriage and those that cannot for whatever. The society stipulates what right becomes legitimate and therefore desirable and appropriate but in some situations, certain persons may challenge or oppose the existing marriage norms by going into unions or alliances that are contrary to natural rules and law of decency and societal norms of proper enculturation. This is not because of their will but due to the huge cost which culture and tradition imposes on mankind. The society is a complex whole of belief, art, moral, law, customs as well as the total way of life of the people. The practice by the Obudu people degenerates to delay in marriages, unwanted pregnancies, abortion, as a result of the huge economic implications involved. The paper equally examines the political, social and religious practice of the people, traditional marriage and contends that the practice of this nature should be reformed so as to reduce excess cost as well as other social, political and religious vices that bedevil the practice of traditional marriage among the Obudu People.

Published: September 2022

The potential of amino benzene and its derivatives in the synthesis of monoazo disperse dyes was studied. The dyes were synthesized by the diazotization of amino benzene and its derivatives and subsequent coupling with salicylic acid. The synthesized dyes were subjected to UV and IR characterization and the UV-VIS absorption spectra of the dyes in methanol, ethanol and ethyl acetate revealed that the dyes have absorption bands within the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum and that the λmax of the dyes increases with increase in polarity of the solvents. The FTIR characterization of the dyes revealed the presence of C – O from phenol, C – N and N – H from amines, C – H from alkane, N = O from nitro compounds and – OH from alcohol and the proposed structures of the dyes revealed the presence of chromophoric, auxochromic and azodic groups which may help to explain why the dyes have excellent colourations. The dyeing and fastness properties of the dyes on nylon, wool, polyester and cotton revealed that the dyes will have commercial importance within the textile industries.

Published: September 2022

Aim: To compare and measure molar anchorage loss during en-masse retraction using mini-implant and conventional mechanics. Objectives: 1) To evaluate the molar anchorage loss during en-masse retraction of anterior teeth by using conventional mechanics. 2) To evaluate the molar anchorage loss during en-masse retraction of anterior teeth by using the orthodontic mini-implant as absolute anchorage. 3) To measure and compare the molar anchorage loss during en-masse retraction using mini-implant and conventional mechanics. Methods: The study was carried out on 10 patients requiring extraction of four first premolars and maximum retraction. On the right side (experimental side) mini-implants were placed between the second premolar and first molar and an e-chain was engaged from the head of the implant to the crimpable hook. On the left side (control side) an e-chain is given from crimpable hook to molar hook for en masse retraction. The retraction space closure was calculated using vernier caliper on the study model after 28weeks of retraction. Lateral cephalogram was taken before and after orthodontic retraction for calculating molar anchor loss. Results: The retraction space closure after 28 weeks showed a mean value of 3.59+0.68mm on the mini-implant side and 3.98+0.62mm on the conventional mechanics side, which was statistically significant. The anchor loss of 0.17+0.3 mm was observed on the mini-implant side and 1.32+0.62 mm was observed in the conventional mechanics after retraction, which was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: In this study, the molar anchor loss of 0.17+ 0.3mm was seen on the mini-implant side and 1.32+0.6mm on the conventional mechanics side which was significantly more by 1.15mm than the mini-implant side. The closure of extraction space on the mini-implant side was done by retraction of anterior teeth and minimal anchorage loss, while in the conventional mechanics side there was anchor loss of anterior as well as posterior teeth.

FinTech is a digital innovation technology that aims to educate and enable the world on how to create utility values in every activity. Natural language processing is one of the umbrella systems that has unite other innovative technologies behind FinTech. Technological system drivers regarded as "ABCDE" of FinTech consist of Artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud computing, big data, and the internet of things. As communication took the lead in the second half of the 21st century, most companies are moving remotely, leading to much-needed innovation in FinTech. The study presents how natural language processing enables different technologies and advances the technology behind FinTech. The study aims to identify areas of the modern world that can be transformed into a source of finance using the FinTechs drivers of "ABCDE”. The study observed FinTech as a digital Economics that integrates with different aspects of modern technology to create utility values. The study uses the 5 C's of credit as the source of finance for innovative ideas and the 5 P's of marketing as innovative network to reach ultimate FinTech utility values. Results based on the demand and supply analysis indicate that a combination of 5 C's and 5 P's is the bond behind FinTech with the support of the drivers of "ABCDE". Also that the increased demand for goods and services in every economy indicates a fall in the request for credit and vice versa. The study concluded that a well-structured 5 C's and 5 P's is the best route to FinTech technology which is financial freedom to the world.
Implementation of Voter by using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Fault Tolerant System
Authors: Devi Ponnaganti Rama , Jetti Anusha
Published: September 2022

In a fault tolerant system, voting algorithm plays a major role in decision making. Inexact majority voting, majority voting, and weighted voters are most popular voting algorithms. In each of these techniques, redundant modules produce unpredictable outputs, and finding an agreement among these outputs is the functionality of voter. In this proposed system, voter is implemented using soft computing technique called ABC algorithm. The basic ABC algorithm is a very modest, adaptable and clear model. There are two categories of searchers in the hive of ABC; namely, unemployed searchers and employed searchers. Based on the intelligent performance of honey bee swarm, ABC is one of the optimization algorithms. The behaviours of bees are used to optimize weights of Triple Modular Redundant system, where each module plays an imperative role in the selection of voter. For evaluating the performance of voting algorithms, some performance measures have been defined; they are, safety and availability measures. ABC algorithm has been proposed to improve the safety and availability of the existing system.

Authors: Dr. Krishika.M  , Dr. Athira B  , Dr. Kashavva .V Hiremath
Published: September 2022

Female reproductive health is the most neglected area in medical science. Ayurveda has given more importance to the maintenance of the reproductive health of a female by describing three regimens that are to be followed during the most important reproductive milestones. Rajaswala paricharya to be followed entirely during the reproductive life during the menstruating period, Garbini paricharya is the term coined for ante-natal care and sootika paricharya is meant for Post-natal care. Women who fail to follow these regimens can be prey for a number of Gynaecological disorders. Adenomyosis is one such disease that is the most neglected disease to be diagnosed in its initial stage, which may be caused by the stanika vata vruddi; violation of menstrual regimen can be a cause for the same. So, the proper adoption of Rajaswala paricharya during the menstruating period remains the major preventive factor for most of Gynaecological disorders like Adenomyosis.
KEY WORDS: Rajaswala paricharya, Adenomyosis, Prevention, Vata Vruddi

The proposed models are capable to predict the conditions of low received signal strength and low data rate which is important to select the appropriate method that will most likely offer the highest quality of service. The proposed schemes based on decision tree improves in the idle-static mode and present an accuracy of 67% approximately when compared to the connected-mobile mode, and finally, we propose future works.

The amount of data generated by the connection between a mobile terminal and the cellular network is high, and analyzing their behavior is a subject of research for several authors. But before starting an analysis, it is essential to perform a statistical analysis of the dataset, which should have been previously preprocessed, to know the behavior of the variables that make up the database. This article presents the statistical analysis of the measurements of the parameters of the cellular network in Quito city, collected from cellular applications. First, the data and analysis tools are described, in this case, Python and some libraries, then some statistical analyses are developed using graphs, which facilitate their interpretation. As result, we identified the variables that define the behavior of the data and whether they present an adequate distribution to obtain quality information. In addition, the correlation of the significant variables with the other variables was determined.

Today, Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in the world after Alzheimer’s disease. About 6.2 million people have it and it is estimated that by 2040 the number of Parkinson’s patients will double it. PD reduces motor function, which is why patients suffer from decreased movement, stiffness, tremors and even the voice and speech production including breathing, articulation, and phonation. For this reason, the voice features of patients vary in comparison to people who do not have PD. Therefore, we are looking for a method that allows us to select the features of the voice that affects the most to the patient's diagnosis. There are several methods for feature selection and in our case, we use genetic algorithms (GA). To validate our feature selection approach, we constructed an SVM classifier where the best accuracy of 88.54% was achieved with 8 features selected by GA.
A synthesis of coral reef research at Buck Island Reef National Monument and Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands: 1961 to 2022
Authors: Rogers Caroline
Published: September 2022

This synthesis focuses on the history of research on coral reefs within two U.S. National Park Service units in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands: Buck Island Reef National Monument (from 1961 to 2022) and Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve (from 1980 to 2022). Buck Island Reef National Monument (BUIS) is off the north shore of the island of St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Established in 1961 and expanded in 2001, it is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service (NPS). Long-term monitoring programs maintained by the NPS and jointly by the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) and the Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources (VIDPNR) provide data on trends in living coral cover and specific coral species from 2000 and 2001, respectively. Disease, thermal stress (indicated by coral bleaching), and hurricanes reduced total coral cover periodically, but cover remained relatively stable from 2007 through the end of 2020. Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve (SARI) is a national park on the north shore of the island of St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Established in 1992, it is co-managed by the NPS and the Government of the Virgin Islands. Long-term monitoring programs maintained by the NPS and by the UVI with the VIDPNR provide data on trends in living coral cover and individual coral species from 2011 and 2001, respectively. In spite of thermal stress (indicated by coral bleaching), disease, and hurricanes, total coral cover remained relatively stable through the end of 2020. This document also includes results from extensive investigations by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and from many individual projects including those based out of the underwater saturation habitats Hydrolab and Aquarius from 1977 to 1989, as well as studies from researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s West Indies Laboratory. While not possible to review all of these in detail, this report highlights information considered useful to managers, and scientists planning future research. In 2021, a particularly virulent disease called stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), first noted in 2014 in Florida, and then in 2019 in the U.S. Virgin Islands, started killing corals in BUIS and SARI with the different species showing a gradient of susceptibility. An exact cause or link between this disease and human actions has not been discovered to date. The losses associated with this disease have now exceeded those from any other stressors in these national parks.
Forward Chaining Methods in Expert Systems in the Prevention and Treatment of Carp Diseases
Authors: Alacsel Sanjaya
Published: September 2022

Goldfish is one of the various types of cultivated animals that are widely kept and then traded because many can be utilized from Goldfish. Farmers do not regularly check for diseases in carp, especially if farmers are still unfamiliar with the symptoms and types of diseases in carp cultivation, thus making goldfish susceptible to disease. This makes it difficult for farmers to handle diseases caused by symptoms due to limited knowledge. The limitation of experts in the field of goldfish cultivation is also one of the problems that are often encountered in various regions. This study aims to identify diseases and treatment methods in carp using the Forward Chaining method based on symptoms and to design an expert system in identifying diseases and treatment methods in carp. The data needed during this research is data on the types of symptoms and types of diseases based on symptoms in carp, symptom data and treatment data for making decisions that are sourced from carp cultivation experts from a vocational high school teacher (SMK) majoring in carp cultivation and the power obtained from the Southeast Aceh City Fisheries Service. Based on the data provided by the expert, the expert has a decision-making mode, which is to collect facts first to reach a conclusion or decision, so the Forward Chaining method can be used to conduct this research. The stages of data processing include preparing input data, expert decision tables, determining rules, conducting tracking processes, making decision trees and tracking results. The results obtained succeeded in finding the disease based on the existing symptoms and solutions and initial steps for handling goldfish diseases could be found. The results of trials conducted by comparing the data with the system that has been designed have a very good level of accuracy

Published: September 2022

Cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury refers to brain tissue damage during the restoration of blood supply. To develop effective therapeutic modalities, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this process is needed. Arctium lappa L., a popular medicinal herb and health supplement, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effect. Arctiin, a major active component of A. lappa L., seems to be responsible for its activity. However, the effects of arctiin in cerebral ischemia reperfusion, and the mechanism(s) involved is not clear. To this end, an in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion model of PC12 cells was constructed. Results of our studies show that arctiin increased the survival rate, decreased apoptosis, and restored mitochondrial function of oxygen–glucose deprivation/reperfusion-induced PC12 cell. Furthermore, arctiin relieved mitochondrial functions damage via targeting extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. These data highy suggest that arctiin could serve as a promising drug for the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
