Three-stage Path Planning for Warehouse Robots Based on Q-learning Algorithm
Authors: He Junjie
Published: January 2025

With the rapid growth of e-commerce, warehouse automation has become an important area to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs. Warehouse robots have been widely used by online merchants to automate the delivery process of warehouse logistics. However, traditional research lacks clear guidance on the optimal setting of parameters for Q-learning in a warehouse environment. And it does not consider path planning for multi-stage operations. This research examines the application of the Q-learning algorithm for three-stage path planning in robotic systems inside a warehouse setting. The research optimized the convergence rate of Q-learning in a warehouse by comparing the efficiency and stability of the Q-learning algorithm under different parameters. This research provides a three-stage warehouse transportation path planning strategy. This strategy is accomplished through a three-stage “inbound-shipping-return” path planning. It enables the robot to navigate efficiently through the warehouse layout, reducing transportation time and avoiding obstacles. This research demonstrates the effectiveness of Q-learning in warehouse path planning and shows that warehouse robots have great potential to save labor costs and improve the efficiency of warehouse transportation tasks. The Q-learning-based optimization method provides a solution for the automation of warehouse transportation tasks.

Published: January 2025

Background: Unplanned hospital admissions following surgical procedures are an important quality performance indicator, as they can reflect complications from anesthesia or surgery, in addition to communication issues within the healthcare team. Any patient who undergoes a surgical procedure under general anesthesia but has an unexpected hospital disposition, differing from the pre-operative plan, is considered to have an unplanned admission. These unanticipated admissions can have negative social, economic, and physical consequences for these patients. This study aimed to determine the proportion of unplanned post-operative admissions and to investigate the risk factors that contributed to these unplanned admissions.
Methods: The data on unplanned admissions was collected retrospectively by analyzing the medical records of children aged 14 and younger who underwent non-cardiac surgical procedures under general anesthesia at the King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital (KASCH) facility from January 2021 to October 2022.
Results: Out of 15,178 non-cardiac procedures performed, 119 patients (0.78%) experienced unplanned admission. The leading contributing factors were anesthesia-related in 49 patients (41.2%), surgical-related factors in 35 patients (29.4%), and communication failure between the anesthesia, surgical teams, and bed management in 19 cases (16%).
Conclusion: The unplanned admission rate of 0.78% in this facility was lower than the rates reported in the literature. However, these rates may not represent the national practice, and more multi-center studies are needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the extent of this problem within the country.

Background: Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a secondary headache caused by the frequent overuse of acute headache medications. In patients with primary headaches, it is characterized by a frequency of 15 or more days per month and is associated with the use of over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics for a period exceeding three months.
Objective: This study evaluated the prevalence of MOH and the level of awareness of adverse medication effects among the general population of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between March 25 and May 25, 2023, using an online questionnaire administered to the general population. Data were collected from cooperative male and female residents of Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia.
Result: The questionnaire was completed by 449 individuals; of them, 388 (86.4%) were females,with 369 (82.2%) being Saudi nationals. According to the study, 39% of participants reported having headaches for one to two days within the previous month, indicating a significant prevalence of headaches. Over half of the participants (54.3%) were unaware of the side effects of headache medications. Paracetamol was the most commonly used drug (62.8%), followed by Solpadeine (10.2%) and NSAIDS (6.9%). Higher educational levels were linked to better awareness of medication side effects.
Conclusion: Our study found significant associations between socio-demographics and knowledge of headache medication's side effects, especially high educated females and frequent headache sufferers. We suggest that we need to increase awareness about the side effects of headache medication among the high school educational population in Jeddah City.

An Overview on the Relation Between Blood Disorders, Periodontitis and Dental Caries
Authors: Sozan Mohammed  , Ahmed Zahmoul  , Jbireal J M
Published: January 2025

The relationship between blood disorders, periodontitis, and dental caries reveals a complex interaction between oral health and systemic conditions. Dental caries, caused by bacterial biofilms and environmental factors, and periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, are both associated with significant systemic implications. This review highlights the bidirectional link between these oral conditions and hematological disorders such as anemia, leukemia, and thalassemia. Periodontitis-induced inflammation can disseminate systemically, impacting hematopoietic functions and contributing to blood disorders. Conversely, hematological diseases can exacerbate periodontal issues by impairing immune responses and altering blood parameters, as observed in conditions like cyclic neutropenia and sickle cell anemia. The systemic effects of periodontitis are characterized by elevated markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6, amplifying chronic inflammation. This interrelationship underscores the necessity of integrative healthcare strategies. Regular monitoring of systemic markers, proactive management of periodontal inflammation, and addressing underlying hematological conditions are essential for improving patient outcomes. This review advocates for a holistic diagnostic and therapeutic approach to manage the coexisting challenges of oral and systemic health conditions effectively.

Authors: Saran Naveen , Kesswani Nishtha
Published: January 2025

The proliferation of Internet of Things devices in healthcare, specifically the Internet of Medical Things, has revolutionized patient care and health monitoring systems. Integrating these interconnected medical devices introduces unprecedented security challenges, necessitating robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to safeguard patient data and healthcare infrastructure. To protect the IoMT devices from numerous malicious attacks, researchers have developed numerous Intrusion Detection Systems, but the development of a practical and real-time IDS remains a challenge. Our proposed IDS addresses this gap and surpasses state-of-the-art IDS techniques for IoMT networks. In this research paper, we have proposed a novel IDS approach for IoMT, leveraging a Hybrid Deep Learning technique to enhance detection accuracy and efficiency. By combining the strengths of the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Attention Mechanism, the proposed IDS achieves superior performance in detecting anomalous activities in medical networks. The proposed IDS model was evaluated on two publicly available benchmark intrusion datasets and achieved 99.99 % accuracy on the ICU Healthcare Dataset and 98.94 % accuracy on the NF-TON-IoT Dataset. Precision, Recall, F1-Score metrics, and ROC-AUC for the proposed model are promising. To show how effectively the model performed in noisy environments, we also added noise to the features. Moreover, we used the K-Fold Cross Validation Technique to cross-validate the model's performance on both datasets, ensuring the reliability and applicability of the suggested IDS model for IoMT networks.

Introduction: The article highlights the negative impact of Western sanctions on the Russian economy and emphasizes the importance of cooperation with India to diversify export-import flows. India’s high economic potential and growing role in the global economy make it a priority for Russia’s eastern policy. Methods: The study is based on an analysis of customs statistics, national statistical data, and academic publications. Methods of systematization, generalization, and specification were employed to identify the key areas of bilateral cooperation. Results: The findings underline that the core of bilateral interaction is the supply of oil and gas from Russia to India. However, the trade imbalance necessitates increasing Indian exports and developing joint investment projects. Priority sectors include energy, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and high technology. Available Data: Trade statistics indicate an increase in turnover from $32.5 billion in 2022 to $65 billion in 2023. India’s main exports include pharmaceutical products, organic chemicals, electronics, and mechanical equipment, while Russian exports primarily consist of oil, fertilizers, and metals. Discussion: The discussion highlights the need to address the trade imbalance through the diversification of Indian exports and strengthening cooperation within multilateral frameworks. Risks related to India’s reorientation toward Western markets are discussed, and measures such as expanding joint ventures are proposed to enhance mutual trust. In conclusion, the article underscores the strategic importance of the Indian direction for Russia and outlines solutions to current challenges in economic relations.

The present study aims to present the clinical case report regarding non-surgical endodontic treatment performed on tooth 37, with a circumscribed periapical lesion, suggesting a phoenix abscess. The methodology consists of an individual descriptive case report study, which includes radiographic images of a 15-year-old female patient. Clinically, in addition to swelling, it was found that there was mobility, absence of pain in the thermal test (cold) and on palpation. After a complete clinical examination, endodontic treatment, coronary opening, root canal exploration, and root canal preparation were initiated using the preparation technique with reciprocating instruments associated with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite as an irrigating solution. Calcium hydroxide paste was applied as an intracanal medication for a period of 30 days and the coronary access was sealed with glass ionomer. In the following session, after verifying the absence of clinical signs and symptoms, it was decided to fill the root canal using the single cone technique associated with AH Plus endodontic cement. After the 2 years preservation period, tissue repair and bone neoformation of the area and absence of clinical signs were observed.

Effectiveness of the social support programs directly contributes to student’s participation in schooling. Social support programs are thus designed to aid and encourage individuals or groups of learners to access educational opportunities. Thus, the study sought to assess the effectiveness of social support program on student’s participation in schooling in public secondary schools in the Meru County, Kenya. Specifically, it examined the role of guidance and counseling services, mentorship and motivation programs as well as community outreach programs. The study adopted a mixed-methods approach, combining descriptive and correlational designs. A sample of 331 respondents out of 1903 persons comprising Principals of public secondary schools, PA chairpersons, class teachers, student leaders and CDF managers was drawn through purposive and stratified sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires, interview schedules and Focus group discussions. Qualitative data was subjected to thematic analysis, while quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the SPSS version 27.0 computer software. The findings showed average access by students to social support services such as guidance and counseling services, and below average access to motivational talks. Chi-square analysis confirmed a significant influence of social support programs on student participation (Χ²(1) = 9.274) with 24.4% of the total variance in participation explained by social support programs. It is therefore recommended that schools should invest in better training facilities, employ more counselors, increase the frequency of motivational talks, and integrate community outreach and mentorship programs into the curriculum.

T - Image watermarking is the process of invisibly hiding secret data in the cover image to preserve the original image's copyright. In this paper, we offer a new framework for robust digital watermarking for colour photos that combines the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT). The cover image is initially separated into three channels: Y, U, and V. The Y channel is then converted using DFT and partitioned into ring forms. Using an embedding key, we create pseudo-random patterns to represent the watermark. These patterns are additionally modified and partitioned. The pattern selection watermark is then integrated into the DFT coefficient rings. We also incorporate a rectification watermark into the U channel,DTCWT is used to achieve geometric distortion robustness. Watermark identification and extraction can be completed effectively on the recipient's end. Compared to earlier techniques, the proposed method is more effective at preserving image quality. Meanwhile, the robustness against typical attacks is stronger

Keywords:Digital watermarking, image processing, robustness, DTCWT, image correction.

Despite being widely used in nanosatellite operations, the I2C bus has dependability issues that can result in catastrophic failures. In the framework of CubeSat missions, this study performs an extensive fault analysis of the I2C bus, looking into necessary hardware and software, important failure reasons, and possible mitigation techniques. To gain a comprehensive understanding of I2C bus characteristics, failure modes, and operational requirements, experimental testing  is used. This work presents checksum strategies to improve data integrity and reliability during  I2C bus transactions in addition to conventional fault analysis techniques. Checksums are incorporated into the communication protocol to greatly increase data transfer dependability and lower the chance of mission-critical failures. Through qualitative risk analysis, the suggested mitigation strategies are assessed, emphasizing their influence on the overall mission success and CubeSat health. This study emphasizes how important it is to take into account both runtime fault management and strong design considerations while reducing I2C bus vulnerabilities to maintain operational reliability for nanosatellite missions.

Keywords: Nanosatellites, CubeSats, I2C bus, reliability, fault mitigation, checksums.
