Machine Learning-Based Surrogate Model for Genetic Algorithm with Aggressive Mutation for Feature Selection
Authors: Chevallier Marc , Clairmont Charly
Published: July 2024

The genetic algorithm with aggressive mutations GAAM, is a specialised algorithm for feature selection. This algorithm is dedicated to the selection of a small number of features and allows the user to specify the maximum number of features desired. A major obstacle to the use of this algorithm is its high computational cost, which increases significantly with the number of dimensions to be retained. To solve this problem, we introduce a surrogate model based on machine learning, which reduces the number of evaluations of the fitness function by an average of 48% on the datasets tested, using the standard parameters specified in the original paper. Additionally, we experimentally demonstrate that eliminating the crossover step in the original algorithm does not result in any visible changes in the algorithm’s results. We also demonstrate that the original algorithm uses an artificially complex mutation method that could be replaced by a simpler method without loss of efficiency. The sum of the improvements resulted in an average reduction of 53% in the number of evaluations of the fitness functions. Finally, we have shown that these outcomes apply to parameters beyond those utilized in the initial article, while still achieving a comparable decrease in the count of evaluation function calls. Tests were conducted on 9 datasets of varying dimensions, using two different classifiers.

Published: July 2024

Mammogram image analysis is a crucial domain in the image-based diagnosis process. It is a trusted modality of non-invasive imaging for detecting tumour regions in the breast mass. However, poor contrast in the mammogram images is a key challenging issue. To address the issue, a brightness preserving gradient based joint histogram equalization (BPGJHE) method is suggested for enhancing the image quality while restoring the actual brightness and the structural information. The key contributions of the proposed method are (1) preserve the actual brightness of the mammogram images, (2) preserve the multi-scale structural details using an improved gradient filtering approach, (3) enrich the performance of the histogram equalization approach by incorporating the spatial information in the histogram. The suggested method is assessed using a series of mammogram images from standard datasets. The performance of the suggested method is validated in competence to the cutting-edge schemes. The quantitative assessment is performed using extensive validation metrics. The results indicate the efficacy of the suggested method.
A crop disease severity index derived from transfer learning and feature fusion using enhanced OPTICS algorithm
Authors: Subbiah Priyanga , Tyagi Amit Kumar , N Krishnaraj
Published: July 2024

The adoption of automated methods for the identification and assessment of tomato-related disorders is highly sought-after in the agriculture sector. Using this technology is crucial for reducing wasteful spending, increasing the efficiency of treatments, and ultimately growing more resilient crops by reducing losses in agricultural output and maximising the effectiveness of these processes. An automated method has been suggested for accurately identifying and classifying diseases using a single photograph. The described method for disease detection in tomato plants makes use of a computer vision-based technique. Image processing, ML, and deep learning are just a few of the methods that this strategy uses. The goal of this approach is to prevent tomato crops from being damaged by various illnesses by reducing the need of conventional procedures. Bacterial spot, early blight, late blight, leaf mould, spider mites, target spot, spotted spider mite, mosaic virus, and yellow leaf curl are all examples of these illnesses. The following ten diseases frequently strike tomato crops in India. By utilising picture segmentation in combination with the Enhanced OPTICS algorithm (EOPTICSA), the affected area of the tomato plant may be precisely detected and defined after image pre-processing procedures have been used. It may be necessary to look for certain visual signs in order to diagnose the previously mentioned illnesses. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the EOPTICSA method for detecting diseases in plant leaves. To eliminate the geometric features associated with colour, texture, and leaf arrangement in the provided plant pictures, image segmentation and edge detection methods are employed. Using these methods allows us to achieve our goal. Various efficacy measures are used to assess and provide a technique recommendation. This research shows that when performance metrics are used to implement these strategies, the suggested strategy outperforms the current methods in terms of accuracy, precision, and F1-score. The process of detecting sickness involves several consecutive steps. Capturing images, segmenting them, detecting edges, and determining the infection’s severity are all steps in this process. To accomplish the goal of recognising and categorising different types of diseases that might impact tomato plants, the method of transfer learning is employed. As soon as the problem is identified, it is recommended to take proactive measures to help individuals and organisations involved in agriculture address the effects of these disorders using appropriate measures.

BACKGROUND: Ficus benghalensis has been used by local health care practitioners to treat pain, inflammation, rheumatism, and other health issues. OBJECTIVE: In this study, the crude extract and diverse fractions, along with the isolated compound of F. benghalensis were examined for their roles as muscle relaxants, analgesics, and sedatives. METHODS: The extract and isolated compound 1 were screened for muscle-relaxant, analgesic, and sedative actions. The acetic acid-mediated writhing model was utilized for analgesic assessment, the muscle relaxant potential was quantified through traction and inclined plan tests, and the open field test was applied for sedative effects. RESULTS: The extract/fractions (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) and isolated compounds (2.5, 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) were tested at various doses. A profound (p< 0.001) reduce in the acetic acid-mediated writhing model was observed against carpachromene (64.44%), followed by ethyl acetate (60.67%) and methanol (58.42%) fractions. A marked (p< 0.001) muscle relaxant activity was noticed against the isolated compound (71.09%), followed by ethyl acetate (66.98%) and methanol (67.10%) fractions. Regarding the sedative effect, a significant action was noted against the isolated compound (71.09%), followed by ethyl acetate (66.98%) and methanol (67.10%) fractions. Furthermore, the binding modes of the isolated compounds were explored using molecular docking. The molecular docking study revealed that the isolated compound possessed good binding affinity for COX2 and GABA. Our isolated compound may possess inhibitory activity against COX2 and GABA receptors. CONCLUSION: The extract and isolated compounds of Ficus benghalensis can be used as analgesics, muscle relaxants, and sedatives. However, detailed molecular and functional analyses are essential to ascertain their function as muscle relaxants, analgesics, and sedatives.

Authors: Brown Brent , Fricke Ingo , Imarogbe Chinua , Sheringham Jan , Chacon-Cruz Enrique
Published: July 2024

Measles virus (_Morbillivirus_ abbreviated as MV, but more recently MeV) is the causal agent of Measles disease, thought to have existed at least 4000 years ago, affecting predominantly infants, but also immunocompromised individuals and others remaining a public health issue today globally. In this review, we are discussing the historical background about MeV infection to modern–day research, then delving into Measles disease and discussing what is known about immunisation against the disease. We elucidate what is known about the viral structure and the function of the viral proteins. The genomic stability of the MeV particle is suggestive that the third pathogen with the potential to be eradicated (after the Variola and Rinderpest viruses) requires further biological and immunological clarification. Here therefore covers a bow from structure and mechanism to clinical aspects of MeV infection touching topics like cellular receptor–associated factors to the immunology of MeV infection. We highlight the actual knowledge about innate immune response during MeV infection, including chemokine and cytokine expression finalised by the current understanding of adaptive immune responses to MeV.

Authors: Sahulata Arelle Nathania , Wijaksono Dimas Satrio
Published: July 2024

Encanto is a computer-animated family film with musical, comedy, and fantasy genres. The Encanto film won an Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Animated Film in 2022. As a mass communication medium, the Encanto film represents a unique reality where women play an important societal role. In the film Encanto, Abuela, the grandmother of the Madrigal family, plays an essential role in the existence of the Madrigal family and the community of Encanto. This reality generally differs from the reality of life, where men dominate essential societal roles. This study aims to describe the role of Abuela represented in the film Encanto at three levels of John Fiske's semiotics: the level of reality, the level of representation, and the level of ideology. The research used a qualitative method with an analysis of  John Fiske's semiotic theory based on constructivist paradigm. After conducting research, the researcher found that Abuela's roles in the film Encanto include family historian, teacher, head of the Madrigal family, and head of the community of Encanto. That role is represented by authoritative, firm, weak, and prone to wounds (melancholy) characteristics. In addition, a matriarch ideology was found as the basis of Abuela's role among the people of Encanto.

Using Metaphors To Reduce The Uncertainty In Play Therapy Room
Authors: Dewi Tribuana Tungga
Published: July 2024

This article aims to describe how the strategy of reducing uncertainty occurs in the play therapy room. As a method in psychotherapy, a play and creative arts therapist must be able to establish a good relationship with the client so that the client feels safe and comfortable during the therapy process. To establish a safe and comfortable relationship, a process of reducing uncertainty is needed between the therapist and client when communicating in the therapy room. Berger and Calabrese consider that reducing uncertainty will result in self-disclosure which can strengthen the source-receiver relationship in the communication process. After conducting observation in Client ANA’s case for 24 sessions, it is found that in play therapy, the reduction of uncertainty occurred uniquely by using various metaphors chosen by the client independently. In ANA's case, the uncertainty reduction strategy started with an active strategy, followed by simultaneous use of passive and interactive strategies.

Published: July 2024

In the realm of intercultural communication, the necessity of adjusting becomes apparent for fostering harmonious interactions. However, not everyone adeptly navigates these adjustments, leading to instances of discord. Some cases emerge among Papuan students in Yogyakarta, where some are labeled as disruptive, thereby contributing to negative stereotypes held by the broader Yogyakarta community. This study delves into the accommodation communication strategies employed by students from Raja Ampat in Southwest Papua as a proactive response to counteracting these negative stereotypes. Employing a qualitative approach, the research incorporates in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation methods for data collection. The analysis follows a descriptive research method, offering insights into the communication accommodations devised by Raja Ampat students to address negative stereotypes prevalent in Yogyakarta. The findings highlight substantial convergence efforts by Raja Ampat students, spanning language usage, communication styles, behaviors, and communal activities. Concurrently, the students also engage in deliberate divergences to preserve their cultural identity. Through these adjustments, Raja Ampat students foster positive relationships, enhance interactive experiences, and contribute to a more adaptable perspective among the people of Yogyakarta regarding information surrounding negative stereotypes.
Atribusi Perilaku Atas Tudingan Materialistis Dalam Pernikahan Artis Bunga Zainal-Sukhdev Sing
Authors: Paningkat Ria Rianggantara Rizqi Putra
Published: July 2024

This study explores the dynamics of attribution behavior in the context of celebrity marriages, focusing on the case of Bunga Zainal and Sukhdev Singh. The purpose of the research is to provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of how attribution theory analysis can be applied to understand celebrity marriages that may be considered controversial. The research method used is qualitative, utilizing Harold Kelley's attribution theory approach, through primary data analysis from interviews across various podcast channels and secondary data from literature and online media reporting. The findings suggest that when consensus and distinctiveness are high, but consistency is low, behavior tends to be attributed to external or situational factors, namely the characteristics of Sukhdev Singh, rather than solely to materialistic motives. This indicates that Bunga Zainal's marriage is seen as a unique decision that is inconsistent with her previous behavior, yet similar to that of other celebrities in similar situations. This study highlights the importance of public understanding of attribution dynamics in influencing their views on specific events. In the context of communication studies, the research underscores the importance of considering attribution in media analysis and public responses to social issues and news.

Perbandingan Dataset Labelled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dan faces94 Menggunakan Algoritma Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) untuk Pengenalan Wajah
Authors: Indra Sari Kusuma Wardhana  , Widi Hastomo
Published: July 2024

This research compares the performance of two popular datasets, Labelled Faces in the Wild (LFW) and faces94, in the task of face recognition using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) algorithms. The LFW dataset is known for its high variation in pose, lighting, and expression, while faces94 is more structured with more uniform lighting and pose conditions. CNNs were chosen for their ability to extract important features from face images for classification. In this study, a CNN model was trained on both datasets and its performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, and recall metrics. The experimental results showed that the model trained on the faces94 dataset achieved higher accuracy compared to the model trained on the LFW dataset. However, the model on the LFW dataset demonstrated better resilience to variations in lighting and pose conditions. These findings indicate that while a more structured dataset like faces94 can produce a model with high accuracy under testing conditions similar to the training data, a dataset with greater variation like LFW is more suitable for real-world applications involving diverse conditions. This study provides important insights into the selection of datasets for developing robust and accurate face recognition systems.

Published: July 2024

Purpose: This study aims to provide a theoretical foundation and practical examples to enhance evaluation use among various stakeholders by exploring the mechanisms of evaluation use in international development cooperation through the Theory of Change (ToC).
Originality: By developing a ToC specifically for development cooperation evaluation, this research advances the discourse on evaluation use. It establishes a foundational basis for theoretical discussions on diverse evaluation applications and identifies the roles of various stakeholders.
Methodology: The study begins with a comprehensive literature review to define the concept and various types of evaluation use. It then conducts a comparative analysis of evaluation logic models from previous studies to extract common elements and create a tailored ToC for evaluations in international development cooperation. Finally, stakeholder analysis is used to categorize evaluation stakeholders. We apply the developed ToC to identify the roles of each stakeholder in different evaluation contexts.
Result: By applying an extended definition of evaluation use, this study developed a ToC for international development cooperation evaluation, identifying essential elements for change and critical assumptions throughout the evaluation process. Through the analysis of evaluation stakeholders categorized into key, primary, and secondary groups based on their influence within the ToC framework, the study reveals that stakeholders at all levels can utilize evaluations for diverse purposes across the entire evaluation process.
Conclusion and Implication: This study systematically identified the diverse roles of stakeholders and the mechanisms of evaluation use in the field of development cooperation, integrating ToC and stakeholder analysis. It provides a comprehensive understanding of who uses evaluations, for what purposes, when, and how. Ultimately, this research is expected to enhance evaluation practices and use, thereby contributing to the achievement of the intended objectives of evaluations.

The article discusses the problems of health keeping of modern Russian youth under the digitalization. Paying attention to the negative dynamics in the health of young Russians, the authors point out to form and promote a culture of health keeping among the younger generation. However, in order for the implemented measures to be effective, the authors propose to differentiate them taking into account the specifics of the perception of health and practices of caring for it among young people, which is associated with their distinction into two age groups within the framework of generational theory: zoomers and millennials. In this regard, the article presents the results of an empirical study conducted by the authors on the health conservation of Russian youth, which are depicted the characteristics of consumption and practices in the field of health among these age groups. As it states, both categories are quite conscious of their health status. The most common ways to stay healthy are proper nutrition, sleep patterns, and regular exercise. However, certain differences have been identified in the basic practices of caring for it as compared to the traditional model of a healthy lifestyle. Thus, self-tracking based on mobile applications, as well as digital consumption of health information in new media, is popular among zoomers. Millennials appear to be more committed to the primary source of health information, the medical community, which is also reflected in the need for regular health checkups. Based on the findings, a number of practical recommendations are proposed.

The issues of acceptance and support of a healthy lifestyle by various social and age groups of the population, especially among the younger generation and youth, through the pursuit of physical, mental and social well-being remain relevant. Educational organizations, including universities, are important actors in this direction, since their students will soon become leaders in society, decision makers, as well as parents of tomorrow. According to scientists, a weak attitude towards sports, lack of time for physical education lead to a vicious circle of focusing on intellectual education, high knowledge scores, low physical abilities and physical fitness. It is emphasized that universities should have organizational systems for managing educational materials, teaching staff, as well as technologies to improve learning processes through a technology platform. Universities are strategic places to launch a wellness campaign and «have conversations» about healthy lifestyles and sustainable development.
