Published: October 2021

Abstract. The infants admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) always need a Hygienic environment and round the clock observations. Infants or the just born babies always express their physical and emotional needs through cry. Thus, the detection of the reasons behind the infant cry plays a vital role in monitoring the health of the babies in the NICU. In this paper, we have proposed a novel approach for detecting the reasons for Infant's cry. In the proposed approach the cry signal of the infant is captured and from this signal, the unique set of features are extracted using MFCCs, LPCCs, and Pitch. This set of features is used to differentiates the patters signals to recognize the reasons for the cry. The reasons for cry such as hunger, pain, sleep, and discomfort are used to represent different classes. The Neural Network Multilayer classifier is designed to recognize the reasons for the cry using the standard dataset of infant cry. The proposed classifier can achieve accuracy of 93.24% from the combined features of MFCCs, LPCCs and Pitch using
Exploiting Semantic Term Relations in Text Summarization
Authors: Sarkar Kamal , Dam Santanu
Published: October 2021

The traditional frequency based approach to creating multi-document extractive summary ranks sentences based on scores computed by summing up TF*IDF weights of words contained in the sentences. In this approach, TF or term frequency is calculated based on how frequently a term (word) occurs in the input and TF calculated in this way does not take into account the semantic relations among terms. In this paper, we propose methods that exploits semantic term relations for improving sentence ranking and redundancy removal steps of a summarization system. Our proposed summarization system has been tested on DUC 2003 and DUC 2004 benchmark multi-document summarization datasets. The experimental results reveal that performance of our multi-document text summarizer is significantly improved when the distributional term similarity measure is used for finding semantic term relations. Our multi-document text summarizer also outperforms some well known summarization baselines to which it is compared.

Why-Type Question to Query Reformulation for Efficient Document Retrieval
Authors: Breja Manvi , Jain Sanjay Kumar
Published: October 2021

Understanding the actual need of user from a question is very crucial in non-factoid why-question answering as Why-questions are complex and involve ambiguity and redundancy in their understanding. The precise requirement is to determine the focus of question and reformulate them accordingly to retrieve expected answers to a question. The paper analyzes different types of why-questions and proposes an algorithm for each class to determine the focus and reformulate it into a query by appending focal terms and cue phrase ‘because’ with it. Further, a user interface is implemented which asks input why-question, applies different components of question , reformulates it and finally retrieve web pages by posing query to Google search engine. To measure the accuracy of the process, user feedback is taken which asks them to assign scoring from 1 to 10, on how relevant are the retrieved web pages according to their understanding. The results depict that maximum precision of 89% is achieved in Informational type why-questions and minimum of 48% in opinionated type why-questions.

Authors: Majumdar Srijita , Datta Debabrata , Deyasi Arpan , Mukherjee Soumen , Bhattacharjee Arup Kumar , Acharya Anal
Published: October 2021

Sarcasm detection in written texts is the Achilles’ heel of research areas in sentiment analysis, especially with the absence of the rightful verbal tone, facial expression or body gesture that leads to random misinterpretations. It is crucial in sectors of social media, advertisements and user feedbacks on services that require proper interpretation for service evaluation and improvisation of their products. The objective here thereby is to identify sarcasm within a given text by experimenting with the original predicted mood of the text and work on its transformation with the several variations in combination of the standard sarcastic elements present in the corresponding writing. Here standard NLP techniques are used for identification and interpretation. This involves detecting primary connotation of the given text (e.g. positive/neutral/negative), followed by detecting elements of sarcasm. Then, under the presence of the sarcasm indicator algorithm, the rightful interpretation of the previously detected mood is attempted.
A relação texto e contexto em manuais didáticos no ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa
Authors: Rodrigues Johwyson da Silva
Published: October 2021

São vários os manuais de língua inglesa que circulam atualmente entre as instituições de ensino ao redor do Brasil e do mundo. A maioria deles têm suas bases solidamente enraizadas na Abordagem Comunicativa que, por sua vez, pauta-se no funcionalismo linguístico. Entretanto, algumas discussões acerca da autenticidade dos textos presentes nesses manuais parecem apontar para questões que giram em torno da relação texto e contexto. Assim, este trabalho, com a ajuda da Linguística de Corpus e da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional, mais especificamente, dos conceitos de escolhas lexicogramaticais, contexto de cultura e contexto de situação, tem por objetivo investigar as primeiras atividades de compreensão e produção oral contidas em sete manuais didáticos de língua inglesa publicados ao longo de três décadas, a fim de averiguar como suas escolhas léxico-gramaticais, de domínio do texto, são tratadas em relação ao seu contexto de uso. Os resultados apontam que, no decorrer dessas décadas, alguns avanços não sistemáticos ocorreram nesses manuais, o que evidencia o papel do professor de língua inglesa como alguém que necessita utilizá-los de forma crítica. Além disso, o trabalho assinala a importância da Linguística de Corpus como ferramenta essencial no auxílio, planejamento e execução das atividades presentes nesses manuais.

Authors: FİLİZ BAŞTÜRK Meryem
Published: October 2021

Küresel iklim değişikliğinin çevreye verdiği zarar ekonomileri katı fosil atıklar yerine yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına yönlendirmiştir. Başlangıçta gelişmiş ülkeler tarafından yapılan yenilenebilir enerji yatırımları fazla iken özellikle son yıllarda gelişmekte olan ülkelerin yapmış oldukları yatırımlar artmıştır. Yenilenebilir enerji küresel iklim değişikliğini azaltmadaki rolü nedeniyle önem taşımaktadır.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı 1990 – 2017 döneminde G-7 ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ile ekonomik büyüme arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişkinin varlığını araştırmaktır.

Yöntem: 1990 – 2017 döneminin ele alındığı çalışmada yatay kesit bağımlılığı söz konusu olduğu için ikinci nesil birim kök testlerinden Bai & Ng (2010) tarafından geliştirilen yeni PANIC testleri uygulanmıştır. Uzun dönemli bir ilişkinin varlığı Westerlund (2008) tarafından geliştirilen Durbin-Hausman testi ile incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: Yapılan analiz sonucunda G-7 ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ile ekonomik büyüme arasında herhangi bir uzun dönemli ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır.

Özgünlük: G-7 ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ile ekonomik büyüme arasında herhangi bir uzun dönemli ilişkinin bulunmaması bu ekonomilerde yenilenebilir enerjinin ekonomik büyüme üzerinde belirleyici bir rol oynamadığını ifade eder. Çünkü G-7 ekonomileri büyümelerini gerçekleştirmede yükselen piyasa ekonomileri gibi enerjiye bağımlı değildir. G-7 ülkeleri özelinde bu ilişkinin ortaya konmasının literatüre katkı sağladığı belirtilebilir.

Published: October 2021

The advancement of technology in the past decade has led humans to achieve many great things. Among that is facial recognition technology that uses a combination of two techniques which is face detection and recognition that is capable of converting facial images of a person into readable data and connecting it with other data sets which enable it to identify, track or compare it. This study delves into the usage of facial recognition technology in Malaysia where its regulation is almost non-existent. As its usage increases, the invasive features of this technology to collect and connect its data posed a threat to the data privacy of Malaysian citizens. Due to this issue, other countries' laws and policies regarding this technology are examined and compared with Malaysia. This enables the loopholes of the current law and policies to be identified and restructured, which create a clear path on the proper regulations and changes that need to be made. Thus, this study aims to analyse the limitation of law governing data privacy and its concept in Malaysia along with changes that need to be made. This study’s finding shows the shortcoming of Malaysia’s law in governing data privacy especially when it involves complex technology that has great data collection capability like facial recognition.

Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia telah memperkenalkan Pembimbing Pakar Peningkatan Sekolah (SISC+) atau School Improvement Specialist Coach pada tahun 2014 bertujuan memberikan bimbingan langsung kepada guru. Semenjak itu banyak kajian dilakukan terhadap program bimbingan SISC+, namun kajian yang ada masih belum cukup untuk membuktikan bahawa program bimbingan ini memberi manfaat langsung kepada kualiti pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) guru. Sehubungan dengan itu kajian ini diketengahkan dengan tujuan untuk meneroka manfaat program bimbingan SISC+ daripada perspektif guru yang pernah dibimbing. Seramai sepuluh orang guru yang pernah dibimbing oleh SISC+ telah dipilih secara bertujuan untuk ditemu bual menggunakan soalan separa berstruktur. Rakaman temu bual ini kemudian ditranskripsikan baris demi baris, dikod dan dikategorikan untuk memunculkan tema. Tema yang terhasil ini kemudian digunakan untuk menjawab tiga persoalan kajian iaitu cara bagaimana guru menggambarkan pengalaman yang dilalui sewaktu dibimbing oleh pegawai SISC+; cara bagaimana pengalaman sewaktu dibimbing ini memberi manfaat kepada amalan profesional guru; dan cara bagaimana pengalaman pembelajaran ini memberi kesan kepada pencapaian kelas yang diajar. Keputusan kajian mendapati guru menerima baik bimbingan SISC+ sebagai sebahagian daripada peluang pembelajaran yang memberi manfaat langsung kepada amalan profesional mereka, sekali gus memberi kesan kepada pencapaian pelajar bagi kelas yang diajar. Dapatan kajian ini telah membuktikan bahawa program bimbingan SISC+ adalah satu daripada cara untuk meningkatkan amalan pengajaran guru melalui latihan secara in situ di mana manfaatnya bukan sahaja kepada guru malah kepada pelajar. Kesimpulannya, bimbingan SISC+ perlu diperkasa sebagai satu daripada kaedah pembangunan profesional berterusan untuk guru.

An Effective Control of Hello Process for Routing Protocol in MANETs
Authors: Sharma Dhirendra Kumar , Goenka Nitika
Published: October 2021

In the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) update of link connectivity is necessary to refresh the neighbor tables in data transfer. A existing hello process periodically exchanges the link connectivity information, which is not adequate for dynamic topology. Here, slow update of neighbour table entries causes link failures which affect performance parameter as packet drop, maximum delay, energy consumption, and reduced throughput. In the dynamic hello technique, new neighbour nodes and lost neighbour nodes are used to compute link change rate (LCR) and hello-interval/refresh rate (r). Exchange of link connectivity information at a fast rate consumes unnecessary bandwidth and energy. In MANET resource wastage can be controlled by avoiding the re-route discovery, frequent error notification, and local repair in the entire network. We are enhancing the existing hello process, which shows significant improvement in performance.
