Enhanced deep soft interference cancellation for multiuser symbol detection
Authors: Kim Jihyung , Kim Junghyun , Lee Moon‐Sik
Published: July 2023

The detection of all the symbols transmitted simultaneously in multiuser systems using limited wireless resources is challenging. Traditional model‐based methods show high performance with perfect channel state information (CSI); however, severe performance degradation will occur if perfect CSI cannot be acquired. In contrast, data‐driven methods perform slightly worse than model‐based methods in terms of symbol error ratio performance in perfect CSI states; however, they are also able to overcome extreme performance degradation in imperfect CSI states. This study proposes a novel deep learning‐based method by improving a state‐of‐the‐art data‐driven technique called deep soft interference cancellation (DSIC). The enhanced DSIC (EDSIC) method detects multiuser symbols in a fully sequential manner and uses an efficient neural network structure to ensure high performance. Additionally, error‐propagation mitigation techniques are used to ensure robustness against channel uncertainty. The EDSIC guarantees a performance that is very close to the optimal performance of the existing model‐based methods in perfect CSI environments and the best performance in imperfect CSI environments.

Authors: KARADAĞ Ferda
Published: July 2023

Ruhsal ve davranışsal sorunları olan çocukların tedavisinde öğretmenlerin ve okulların önemli yeri vardır. Çocuk-ergen ruh sağlığı ve hastalıkları polikliniğinde tedavi ekibinde yer alan sosyal çalışmacıların görevlerinden birisi de okul ziyaretleri yaparak çocukların öğretmenleri ile işbirliği yapmaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; ruhsal ve davranışsal sorunları olan ve okul ziyaretlerine gidilen çocuklara ilişkin bilgileri incelemek ve okul sosyal hizmet uygulamalarına yönelik öneriler sunmaktır. Okul ziyaretlerinin en çok ilkokula devam eden, dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite bozukluğu ve otizm/yaygın gelişimsel bozukluğu tanıları olan çocuklar için yapıldığı görülmektedir. Öğretmenlerin çoğu, ruhsal hastalıklar hakkında bilgi eksikliğinin olduğunu, çocuğun gösterdiği davranış problemleri nedeniyle ders düzeninin bozulduğunu, kalabalık sınıflarda çocukları ele almanın zor olduğunu belirtmiştir. Ruhsal ve davranışsal sorunları olan çocuklarda tedavi süreci sadece hastane ortamıyla sınırlı kalmamalı, çocukların yararı için multidisipliner bir yaklaşım ile sorunlar ele alınmalıdır. Bu nedenle okullarda rehber öğretmen ve psikolog ile birlikte sosyal çalışmacılar da, okul ruh sağlığı ekibinin bir parçası olmalıdır.
Systematization of 3D Unit Pattern Design Method for Adjustable Flexible Design Effects
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Ha Bong Soo
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study was to provide a systematic design method that can harmonize the images of order and change, which can be considered as the visual characteristics of the Flexible Design Pattern(FDP). The research reviewed previous studies by grouping them according to their types and presented a design template that can harmonize visual impressions. As a result, the designmethod of FDP is summarized in threeways, startingwith the square division based onmodular and Fibonacci grid, creating order and change through the presence of symmetry manipulation in the shape design and development process, drawing visual effects while maintaining the convenience of a single unit by dividing the square into isomorphism and dimorphism, and creating unexpected intermediate forms through the overlap of large and small units. The design method that can harmonize the visual impressions of these patterns revolves around design aspects and development methods. In other words, design factors include division methods, shape design, cell combinations(cell overlap), and unit composition, while development methods include regular and irregular unit development using symmetry, among other factors that influence visual effects. The variations in impressions generated by these factors were symbolically indicated, and ultimately, a design template consisting of four adjustment directions and four combination methods was provided to facilitate the expression of the images of order and change. Furthermore, this study not only establishes a theoretical foundation for productization but also provides practical tools for design,which is expected to be useful not only for further research but also for design education.
Effects of Visual and Tactile Elements on Game Users' eXperiences in Virtual Reality Games
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Chung Donghun
Published: July 2023

This study measured the effect of visual and tactile elements in Virtual Reality (VR) games on game user experience. We conducted an experiment with 44 participants in a VR shooter game. We manipulated the visual complexity, perspective, and controller weight of the game environment. We found that the rate of first-person perspective usage was higher when the visual complexity of the shooter game was high. We also found that there were significant differences in presence and flow according to visual complexity, with higher presence when the visual complexity was low and higher flow when the visual complexity was high. Weight, a tactile factor, did not have a significant effect on user experience. These findings suggest that in future VR game development, developers should consider the amount of information in the game and use a third-person perspective along with a first-person perspective for effective development.
The role of social and intellectual capital in the collective delivery of landscape-scale environmental improvements: Lessons from the Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Fund.
Authors:   , Morse Aimee
Published: July 2023

Complex agri-environmental issues cannot be solved through the work of an isolated farmer; rather, tackling these issues requires groups of farmers and land managers to work together, engaging with more sustainable practices. To ensure their work is effective, individuals must form a cohesive group in which all members are prepared to work towards a shared goal. The Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Fund (CSFF) provides an intentional investment in the development of social and intellectual capital in farmer and land manager groups in England, such that they may work together successfully. This thesis examines the work of four CSFF groups to understand the extent to which group membership prepares individual farmers and land managers for collective action using Nahapiet and Ghoshal’s theory of social and intellectual capital and the organisational advantage. It draws on the findings from 21 interviews with farmers and land managers, four interviews with group facilitators and four interviews with staff from group partner organisations. In addition, participant observation was conducted at six group events to examine group relationships and the process of intellectual capital exchange. The results build on previous findings which demonstrate the importance of social capital in the collective management of natural resources. Specifically, this work explores the role of the facilitator in social capital development, the importance of continuity during group development, the drivers of, and barriers to, the combination and exchange of intellectual capital, and the preconditions required for collective action to occur. The findings are used to develop an extension of Nahapiet and Ghoshal’s framework. This thesis demonstrates that the development of social, intellectual, and natural capital are interdependent. It argues for policy which better supports the formation of relationships in which farmers and land managers feel able to work with their peers to deliver landscape-scale environmental change.
The desire for luxury jewellery possession: modelling influence factors.
Authors:   , Roth Vivian
Published: July 2023

Research surrounding the desire for luxury jewellery possession is extremely limited, even though possessions play a key role in personal, social, and behavioural structures in western cultures, and despite customers’ growing desire for luxury products, as indicated by continued sales growth. The unique features of luxury jewellery - being comparatively small, often unobtrusive and worn close to the body - make it particularly interesting as a product category. Based on extensive literature in comparable fields, this research uses Structural Equation Modelling to examine six observed variables and three latent variables that may influence desire for luxury jewellery possession. 547 responses from consumers living in Germany who possess luxury jewellery are used to test the predictive model. Findings reveal that ‘self-extension’, and ‘self-improvement’ had the strongest direct significant effect on desire for possession, followed by ‘social identity’ and ‘social positioning’, whilst the direct effect of ‘emotional significance’ and ‘emotional relationship to objects’ was not significant. ‘Possession attachment’, ‘consumer need for uniqueness’ and ‘symbolic meaning of luxury’ were removed from the model as they failed to meet the necessary markers for discriminant validity. Future research is needed to determine their nature and impact given that these concepts seem likely to play some role. This research considers aspects that have received limited attention; it also extends current theories that primarily refer to the “point of purchase” and “purchase intention” by examining how people relate to objects that they already possess. It also highlights the distinctive nature of luxury jewellery, clearly not mundane objects. The complex influence of the nature of acquisition is considered, and opportunities for future research to examine the different natures highlighted. The research also acknowledges that the value of possession may vary across time and between individuals and be of considerable importance to desiring luxury jewellery possession. Finally, the research identifies the potential of established scales within the context of possession and consumers’ relationship to luxury objects. Given these insights, this thesis has made a significant and original contribution to existing knowledge. The findings also offer insights for luxury jewellery retailers, demonstrating that consumers’ need for self-extension and social identity should be considered to construct more nuanced marketing activities when approaching customers. This is expected to increase consumers’ desire for luxury jewellery possession.

Published: July 2023

Restricting the space for the freedom of other religions to become an issue that continues to surface until now, and this has damaged the fact of plurality. Coexistence among religious adherents is a serious problem characterized by fanatical attitudes that isolate religious adherents for theological reasons. This then led to religious warnings that propagated in various sectors of human life including education. To overcome this problem, the purpose of this research is to provide space for theology to exist through the role of Christian education to shake up the space of isolation which continues to narrow relations between religious adherents. The method used in this research is content analysis concerning texts related to research topics in the form of journal articles, books, and online media which are selected according to research interests. The result of this study is that the role of education is needed as a vehicle for educating the intelligence of religious adherents in realizing theology both explicitly and implicitly in a pluralistic society. Through educated people, the isolation space can be shaken, and theology can exist creatively and proportionately in caring for the diversity of religious life.

‘Chambourcin’ is a French-American interspecific hybrid grape grown in the eastern and midwestern United States and used for making wine. Few genomic resources are available for hybrid grapevines like ‘Chambourcin’. Here, we assembled the genome of ‘Chambourcin’ using PacBio HiFi long-read, Bionano optical map, and Illumina short-read sequencing technologies. We generated an assembly for ‘Chambourcin’ with 26 scaffolds, with an N50 length of 23.3 Mb and an estimated BUSCO completeness of 97.9%. We predicted 33,791 gene models and identified 16,056 common orthologs between ‘Chambourcin’, V. vinifera ‘PN40024’ 12X.v2, VCOST.v3, Shine Muscat and V. riparia Gloire. We found 1,606 plant transcription factors from 58 gene families. Finally, we identified 304,571 simple sequence repeats (up to six base pairs long). Our work provides the genome assembly, annotation and the protein and coding sequences of ‘Chambourcin’. Our genome assembly is a valuable resource for genome comparisons, functional genomic analyses and genome-assisted breeding research.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of upper motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord and lower motor neurons. ALS was first described by Jean-Martin Charcot in 1874 based on clinical features and postmortem examinations. In 1990, the first diagnostic criteria for ALS were developed based on clinical features. Subsequently, three additional diagnostic criteria were published. In this article, we introduce the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and diseases that need to be differentiated in ALS.
A Practical Review of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Authors: Kim Nam-Hee
Published: July 2023

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a highly disabling disorder characterized by very severe, brief, electric shocks, like recurrent episodes of facial pain. New diagnostic criteria classifying TN on the basis of the presence of trigeminal neurovascular conflict or an underlying neurological disorder can help better characterize patients and determine treatments. Magnetic resonance imaging using specific sequences should be a part of the diagnostic workup to detect a possible neurovascular contact and exclude secondary causes. Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are drugs of first choice for long-term treatment, whereas microvascular decompression is the first-line surgical management of medically refractory patients. This review aimed to review the classification, clinical features, pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and management of TN.

A “Cidade de 15 minutos” é uma teoria urbana recente que surgiu em meio à busca por formas mais igualitárias, sustentáveis e atuais de urbanizar, privilegiando a dimensão humana e os modos ativos de deslocamentos dentro do contexto urbano. O modelo propõe uma reconfiguração urbanística, social e ambiental para as cidades a fim de torná-las mais acessíveis, sendo possível usufruir de seis funções sociais urbanas em 15 minutos a pé ou de bicicleta, e ter acesso aos transportes públicos coletivos em 30 minutos. Apesar de se tratar de uma temática bastante relevante, o modelo vem sendo estudado e implementado em cidades com características culturais, demográficas, topográficas e socioeconômicas bastante diferentes de grande parte das cidades brasileiras, assim, põe em debate se o mesmo poderia ser aplicado nesse contexto. Portanto, com objetivo de avaliar se a teoria pode ser uma estratégia de planejamento urbano e de mobilidade para as áreas de alta declividade de cidades de médio porte da Zona da Mata mineira, a percepção ambiental se configura como instrumento importante de avaliação e apreensão da organização físico-ambiental dos espaços pelas pessoas, dando ao sujeito o papel de protagonista da experiência produzida nos processos de interação com o ambiente. A pesquisa tem abordagem qualitativa, a natureza dos objetivos é descritiva-exploratória e natureza do trabalho é o estudo de caso com projetos de casos múltiplos holísticos, a unidade única de análise sendo Viçosa e múltiplos casos as áreas de alta declividade da cidade. Para coleta de dados foi realizada a revisão bibliográfica, aplicação de questionário, entrevista semiestruturada e observação não participante.

Abundance and population density of Callithrix flaviceps Thomas, 1903 (PRIMATES, CALLITRICHIDAE) in the Private Natural Heritage Reserve Fazenda Macedônia, Ipaba, MG and surroundings
Authors:   , Corrêa Thales Claussem Vicente
Published: July 2023

Callithrix flaviceps, commonly known as the Buffy-headed marmoset, is a primate species endemic to the Southeastern Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Its range is one of the smallest among platyrrhine species. Unfortunately, this species is critically endangered and considered one of the 25 most threatened primate species in the world. The population decline is largely attributed to habitat fragmentation, competition, hybridization with other invasive species, and susceptibility to yellow fever. The objective of this research was to estimate the abundance and population density of Buffy-headed marmosets in the RPPN Fazenda Macedônia, located along the Doce River in Ipaba, MG, and its surroundings. Population data were collected using the playback method in randomized sampling units and analyzed using the N-mixture model. The results indicate that the population of this species in the region of RPPN Fazenda Macedônia has an estimated average of 257.3 individuals (95% CI = 205.5-309 ind.) and an average population density of 11.4 individuals/km² (95% CI = 9.1-13.7 ind./km²). During the sampling, five hybrid marmosets were identified, highlighting the need for management strategies to prevent them from becoming a threat to the local population. This study provides a hopeful outlook for the conservation of the species by revealing the numbers of an important population of Buffy-headed marmosets living in a protected area and indicating that the RPPN Fazenda Macedônia has been a valuable area for the species' survival. Keywords: Callithrix flaviceps - Habitat (Ecology) – Conservation. Endangered animals. Primates - Conservation - Ipaba (MG).
There's something out there waiting for us: drones with thermal cameras as revolutionary tools in population monitoring
Authors:   , Guimarães Camila Rezende
Published: July 2023

Population monitoring is crucial for the conservation of endangered species, but the most commonly used methods are time-consuming and resource-intensive. This work proposes the use of drones equipped with thermal and RGB sensors (color sensors) for population monitoring of the southern muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides) as an alternative tool in challenging study areas. We tested the effect of sunlight and period of day on detection efficiency and detection distance for a better data collection design. Our results pointed to an effect of sunlight on detection efficiency, but not on detection distance. Considering the period of day, we found no effect on our results. The work also presents our methodology and results in population monitoring with drones in Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar. We suspect that there are 3 social groups of muriquis that use the study area in the Serra da Mantiqueira at a minimum counting of 39 individuals in just one flight. In the Serra do Mar we recorded 1 social group of muriquis with a minimum count of 10 individuals that use the surroundings of the study area and can use the inside area of the property. Also, by analyzing the high quality images generated by the drone, it was possible to make a sex and age classification of 19 and 6 individuals in Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar respectively. Moreover we discuss here the limitations that still exist regarding the use of this technology and possible future ways to make it even more efficient in population monitoring and in other areas of study.

Published: July 2023

Escherichia coli is a type of Gram-negative bacteria that is commonly found in the human digestive tract. It has been reported as one of the bacteria that has been resistant to several antibiotics. This study aims to determine four (4) types of weed extracts that are considered but have not been used as antibacterial compounds against E. coli. This experimental study used a completely randomized design with several types of plant extracts, namely Acalypha indica L., Ageratum conyzoides, Phyllanthus niruri L., and Amaranthus spinosios at various concentrations (0, 50, and 100%). The results showed that the plant extract of A. indica L. had the ability as an antibacterial against the growth of E. coli at concentrations of 50% (1.41 ± 0.12) and 100% (1.53 ± 0.01) compared to other extracts. Meanwhile, the lowest average diameter of the inhibition zone for E. coli bacteria was found in the treatment of A. spinosios grass leaf extract 50% (1.17 ± 0.05).

Authors: Kamarrudin Haryati , Talib Othman , Kamarudin Nurzatulshima , Ismail Normala
Published: July 2023

Active engagement is a topic of research in instructional approaches within education. Research reveals that numerous benefits appear once students seem to be active and gain higher-order thinking skills, increase motivation and are engaged in their learning. Although there are numerous studies on active engagement in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, the effort to conduct a systematic review of this area of research has been complex due to the lack of review procedures, which presents a significant dispute for authors to clarify. Thus, a systematic literature review regarding active engagement in STEM education will be conducted in this research. Five key methodological steps led the review: research questions formulation, systematic search strategies depending, critical quality appraisal, as well as data extraction and analysis. Relying on the thematic analysis, four major themes were revealed: (1) critical thinking, (2) collaboration, (3) interaction, as well as (4) encouragement. Findings from the four themes further entail four relevant activities: lectorials, exploration, sharing knowledge, and assessment. According to the findings of the papers reviewed, getting pre-service teachers involved in active engagement activities leads to more comprehensive benefits on pre-service teachers' attitudes, problem-solving skills, and achievement in learning activities.

The article is devoted to the assessment of the harmonizing potential of social partnership in the context of the potential use of its mechanisms to update the current version of the social contract between the government and the citizens of Russia. The need to address the stated problem is due to the urgent need to revise the dominant approach to the distribution of public resources in conditions of the threat of destabilization of the political situation in the country. According to the authors, the best way to prevent the settlement of inter-class conflicts in the conditions of long-term confrontation between Russia and the collective West is the use of neo-corporatist mechanisms for coordinating interests to bring the social contract in line with the current realities and challenges of the time. Its conceptual basis should be the predominance of socially conservative values over neoliberal ideologems. In this context, social partnership can be considered as a fundamental factor in ensuring national accord. The successful practice of regulating social and labor relations through the conclusion of tripartite agreements between trade unions, employers' associations and executive authorities can be taken as a basis for the conclusion and adjustment of a social contract throughout the country.
