Published: January 2023

Relevance. The mortality rate of patients with HIV infection, including concomitant tuberculosis (HIV/TB), continues to increase. The goal of the work is to study the long­term dynamics of HIV­infected mortality and risk factors of the lethal outcome in the presence and absence of concomitant tuberculosis.

Materials and methods. An assessment of the mortality rates of HIV­-infected people among the population of the Perm Region during the period from 2005 (the year of registration of the first cases of HIV/TB) to 2021 was carried out. In order to determine the life expectancy of patients and risk factors of the lethal outcome the analysis of 414 outpatient records of HIV­infected people who died in 2021 was carried out. The degree of immunodeficiency and viral load in patients was taken into account based on the results of examinations conducted in the period 6 months before the lethal outcome.

Results. During the 15­year period of registration of the incidence of HIV/TB in the study area, 57.0% of those who died from causes directly related to HIV infection had TB. At the same time, despite the decrease in mortality from monotuberculous infection as a result of a decrease in the incidence of TB, in recent years there has been an increase in mortality from HIV/TB due to the intensification of the epidemic process of HIV infection. The average life expectancy of HIV­-infected people who died directly from HIV infection in the absence of TB was 6.7 ± 0.3 years, with concomitant TB ­5.7 ± 0.3 years. The lethal outcome of patients with HIV infection in the presence of TB and without TB was most often recorded with the number of CD4 + < 200 cells /ml and viral load > 100,000 copies /MBNA of HIV. At the same time, immunosuppression in deceased HIV/TB patients was more pronounced than in HIV­-infected patients in the absence of TB.

Relevance. Studying the spread of individual S. pneumoniae serotypes is of special epidemiologic and clinical importance. Sverdlovsk Region with the 20% proportion of community­-acquired pneumonia and its proportion among the causes of mortality of up to 70% is of special concern.

Aims. Studying the features of the S. pneumoniae serotype landscape in individual socially significant population groups in Sverdlovsk Region in 2020 and 2021.

Materials and methods. The work presents the results of testing nasopharyngeal smears collected in two observation groups, namely, that of 159 unvaccinated children aged 0 to 5 with acute respiratory infections (ARI), and that of 392 apparently healthy adults aged 19 to 27. We performed molecular genetic typing for identification of 20 leading S. рneumoniae serotypes/serogroups (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, 16F, 19A, 19F, 23A, 23F, 6ABCD, 7AF, 9AV, 9LN, 11AD, 15AF, 18ABCF, 22AF, 12FAB/44/46, 33AF/37) using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results and discussion. In the individuals of the studied groups of observation, in 27.0% and 28.1% of the cases the study detected the S. pneumoniae in the biological material with circulation of 12 «vaccine» (19F – 2,6%, 6ABCD – 2,6%, 4 – 2,0%, 23F – 2,0%, 9AV – 1,3%, 9LN – 0,6%, 11AD – 1,3%, 18ABCF – 2,0%) and «nonvaccine» (15AF – 0.7%, 16F – 0.6%) serotypes. Nontypable strains with the highest proportion (77.3%) among the immunized adult population were predominant in the structure; in the unvaccinated children, this rate was 53.5%. Among the typable strains in children, 70.0% belonged to the vaccine ones, and most frequently the study identified 19F and 23F serotypes, while serotypes 3 and 12F/A/B/44/46 dominated among the adults.

Conclusion. The study of unimmunized pediatric and immunized adult populations of Sverdlovsk Region confirmed a trend toward an increase in the circulation of nontypable S. pneumoniae strains in the Russian Federation, which sets the agenda to improve the monitoring system and optimize molecular genetic techniques for identification of the pathogens and upgrade the present specific and nonspecific preventive remedies, including the current antimicrobial ones and locally­-produced vaccine.

Published: January 2023

Face recognition methods are computational algorithms that follow aim to identify a person's image according to the bank of images they have of different people. So far, various methods have been proposed for face recognition, which can generally be divided into two categories based on face structure and based on facial features. Based on this, many algorithms have been introduced and used for face recognition. Genetic algorithm has been one of the successful algorithms for face recognition. In this article, we first briefly explained the genetic algorithm and then used the combination of neural network and genetic algorithm to select and classify facial features The presented method has been evaluated using individual features and combined features of the face region. Composite features perform better than face region features in experimental tests. Also, a comprehensive comparison with other facial recognition techniques available in the FERET database is included in this paper. The proposed method has produced a classification accuracy of 94%, which is a significant improvement and the best classification accuracy among the results established in other studies.

Authors: Adi Puput Dani Prasetyo , Siregar Victor M.M.
Published: January 2023

This study discusses the Performance of Moisture soil sensor, which is useful as a sensor to detect soil moisture level used as plant nutrition. The monitoring process is carried out in real-time using internet of things technology based on LoRa or Long-Range Radio Frequency (IoT-LoRa). The application server used is Thingspeak. With this research, agricultural processes and monitoring can be carried out dynamically and efficiently. Therefore, when the soil conditions are dry or the soil moisture level is <300, it will immediately affect automatic watering by opening the valve or rotating the Servo motor. Furthermore, the watering process can be done automatically by looking at the soil conditions on potted plants or agricultural land. The position of the sensor on the ground level is not immediately removed and moved to another place, but it is always in the same condition and location, so the Adaptive Data Rate mechanism is used for the management of Power Consumption on IoT-LoRa

The Electronic and Transactions Law (EIT Law) as the First Cybercrime Law in Indonesia: An Introduction and Its Implementation
Authors: Mahrina Mahrina , Sasmito Joko , Zonyfar Candra
Published: January 2023

The cybercrime cases across the country are remaining high. It caused the government decided to create the cybercrime law, including the Indonesian government. The first cybercrime law that created by Indonesian government is the Electronic and Transactions Law (EIT Law) of 2008, and revised in 2016. This paper then provides more comprehensive explanation regarding EIT Law, starting from its creation, substances, enforcement, and even its strengths and weaknesses. By using literature review method, the authors have been conducted research from the previous studies on related topic. Before entering the main discussions, this paper also explains the cybercrime law and policy in Indonesia’s neighboring countries. After that, EIT Law is explained comprehensively. The result shows that background of the creation of EIT Law is the technology and the Internet development that can threaten the Indonesia’s national interests. This law then categorize the types of cybercrime that prohibited in Indonesia. The jurisdiction, the investigation process, and the punishment to cyber criminals also regulated in that law. Furthermore, this paper also explains the strengths and weaknesses of EIT Law. The strengths of EIT Law can be seen in the complexity of the articles that contain within it. Nevertheless, the implementation of this law is still not effective. This is because there are several issues that have to corrected, such as the ambiguity of article contents, lack of cybercrime awareness among the law enforcement officers, difficulties to provide electronic devices, and lack of cyber facilities or infrastructure.

Authors: Sultana H Parveen , Sharma Nishant , Nalini N  , Pathak Gaurav , Pandey Ayush
Published: January 2023

Databases are essential to modern-day web applications. Structured Query Language (SQL) used to retrieve information from relational database is prone to injection attack by a malicious user. Losing access to application database destroys all credibility for the organization. Mitigating against SQL injection attacks is a critical concern. This paper proposes a methodology for the safe flow of SQL query from the user layer to the database layer. The proposed methodology uses the process of client-side input sanitization to validate user input before a dynamic SQL query is constructed. On the server-side, another process provides server-side query sanitization to ensure a full-proof validation of the SQL query before it is run on the database. The client-side input sanitization process is presented in the paper. On comparison with related methodologies, the proposed methodology is robust, lightweight, and fast.

Authors: Khattar Sonam , Kaur Ravinder
Published: January 2023

Skin cancer is among of most frequent cancer types, with approximately 2 to 3 million cases reported each year globally. Skin cancer is produced by abnormal cell development on the surface of the skin, and physical inspection of skin lesions is a difficult, hard, instinctive, time-consuming process that is prone to inter- and intra-subject variability. For a long time, there has been a need to build a computerized skin diagnostic system to aid doctors in making rapid and prompt decisions. Various academics have suggested a variety of computational intelligence learning models for analyzing skin cancer images, and these models have shown excellent outcomes. However, due to the distinctive and complicated properties of the lesion images, the examination of these skin lesion images using such methodologies currently confronts significant obstacles. The main aim of this study is to review various techniques of preprocessing, segmentation, & classification for the analysis of skin lesions to distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous images. The main focus is on providing an outline for researchers who are naive to this area and are not equipped to know all of its technical terms.

Published: January 2023

We propose a computer-vision-based detection and recognition system which can be used in the banks to detect the anomalous activity of bank robbery. We propose CCTV based robbery detection along with tracking of thieves. We have used computer vision to detect theft and robbers in CCTV footage, without the use of sensors. This system concentrates on object detection. This detection of bank robbery is done based on detecting components, which are prohibited by using in the banks and are common in robbery, like handguns, a person wearing a helmet or a ski mask which comes under the object detection. Apart from these, recognition is done on the human postures like raising hands and kneel down which comes under the posture detection. The security official will be notified about the suspicious event by using Real-time analysis of the movement of any human from CCTV footage and thus gives a chance to avert the same, so that necessary action will be taken by the authority and prevent threat to bank as well as to the human life presents there.

A Friend or a Machine? A Study on the Child–Robot Relationship in a Foreign Language Class of Young Learners
Authors: Peura Liisa , Johansson Marjut
Published: January 2023

This paper seeks to bring a new social perspective to the concept of robot literacy in a second language (L2) learning context. We studied the kind of representations that learners created of a robot after it was introduced as a new peer learner and integrated into teaching and learning practices. We focused on the development of long-term relationships to shed light on how representations of the robot changed during a school term. In addition, we analysed how learners acquired interaction skills with the robot, contributing to the social aspect of HRI. The robot, both as a means of learning and an object of learning, thus contributes a new perspective to robot literacy. The semester-long pedagogical experiment resulted in a new learning circle. Therefore, we advocate a new interpretation of sociality in the classroom based on this new digital dimension.
Using Robot-Mediated Applied Drama to Foster Anti-Bullying Peer Support
Authors: Sanoubari Elaheh , Johnson Amanda , Edison Munoz John , Houston Andrew , Dautenhahn Kerstin
Published: January 2023

Applied drama refers to the use of theatrical practices in contexts such as education, therapy, or community-building. We present Robot-Mediated Applied Drama as a medium for safely exploring sensitive topics with children and propose to develop RE-Mind (short for Robots Empowering Minds): a pedagogical platform that aims to use role-playing with robots for fostering anti-bullying peer support among children. We borrow techniques from applied drama to build the human-robot interaction models used in this system. Specifically, we draw from Augusto Boal’s Forum Theatre: a theatrical exercise in which spectators of a drama are invited to become “spect-actors”. That is, they watch the performance twice; the second time, they stop the performance and change its direction and potential conclusion by suggesting different actions to the protagonist. This allows children to use the proposed system to first observe a bullying scenario between two robots, and then intervene by controlling a third robot that is a bystander to bullying, and by doing so practice their intervention strategies. Applied drama engages peers in situated learning and allows them to take reflective, participatory action. In this paper, we argue that using robots provides a buffer for participants to safely explore sensitive topics in a private setting. We present background literature to support using applied drama as an effective vehicle for learning and discuss related work on technology-based anti-bullying interventions. Finally, we define Robot-Mediated Applied Drama and discuss how social robots lend themselves well to this practice.
Durkheim’s Theory of the Division of Labor and Its Relevance for Socially Responsible Robotics
Authors: Daus Zachary
Published: January 2023

I argue for the applicability of Emile Durkheim’s theory of the division of labor to innovation in robotics. I claim that Durkheim’s threefold conception of ‘social pathology’ in terms of forced division of labor, excessive division of labor, and anomie provides an interpretive framework for analyzing the potential social and, by extension, ethical impacts of robots in the workplace. First, I outline the relationship between Durkheim’s theory of the division of labor and social solidarity. I describe how Durkheim sees the increasing division of labor of the industrial age as triggering a shift from what he calls pre-modern ‘mechanical’ to modern ‘organic’ solidarity. While mechanical solidarity is based on enforced similarities, such as similarity in belief or custom, organic solidarity is based on the emergence of interdependence, above all in the form of the division of labor. Durkheim, however, argues that certain social pathologies—that is, forced division of labor, excessive division of labor, and anomie—disrupt society’s transition from mechanical to organic solidarity. I in turn analyze how robots can contribute to these pathologies and describe a form of socially responsible innovation that accounts for Durkheim’s insights.
The Ethics of Robot-Nudgers’ Design
Authors: Calboli Stefano , Even Jani , Graziani Pierluigi
Published: January 2023

What if an uncanny robot nudges you to behave in some way? When design traits are considered, are there ethical implications hidden in the folds of robot-nudging? This paper aims to answer this last question, capitalizing on the literature on robot-nudging and the uncanny valley. We proceed as follows. First, we define the concept of “nudge” and outline the primary ethical concern associated with nudging, namely, the erosion of decision-making autonomy (§1). Then we narrow our focus and consider cases where robots, instead of humans, are those who nudge, and discuss the still inconclusive research on the ethically relevant aspects of robot-nudging (§2). The last and original part of the paper addresses one specific ethical aspect involved in employing uncanny robots in nudging (§3). We hypothesize that certain design traits of robot-nudgers could easily compromise their capacity to nudge, eventually to the point of imposing ethically undesirable consequences.
Social Robots for Social Institutions: Scaling up and Cutting Back on Cognition
Authors: Brinck Ingar
Published: January 2023

Current technological change is rapid and far-reaching, more so than ever before in human history. It is transforming all dimensions of human life, leading to large-scale adaptation. Among the disruptive new technologies that are being introduced into society, social robots are distinguished by their hybrid existence between mere thing and mindful agent. They are physical machines capable of interacting with the surroundings and designed to collaborate with humans on human tasks while interacting in human ways. In contrast to rescue, delivery, and patrol robots that replace human labour, these robots take social roles such as tutor, peer, learner, companion, or assistant. On a more general note, social robots are expected to work closely with humans—as partner, colleague, family, and friend. Yet, that a robot can act as a social entity, does not entail the robot constitutes a social being in its own right [1]. The question is whether social robots are capable of participating in and contributing to human social institutions such as healthcare, education, and economy; and if this is so, the follow-up question concerns what this may entail for society in the longer perspective. The emphasis of the present talk lies on the first question, the supposed contribution of social robots to social institutions. Raising a few queries concerning the ability of the BDI-paradigm and affective robotics to provide an adequate reply to this question, at least in its present formulation, I will briefly outline an alternative that lays down a new path in HRI, based in the notions of embodied, embedded, dynamic, and distributed cognition. I claim that these notions are particularly well-suited for designing social institutional forms of HRI, because they permit modelling the relevant cognitive processes as unfolding in the physical space that humans and robots share. The environment provides the resources for HRI such as artefacts, routines, and embodied social norms that simultaneously constrain and enable the emergence of novel institutional practices involving human and machine.
Regulation of the Use of Social Robotics in Care Settings: A Simulation
Authors: Share Perry , Pender John
Published: January 2023

A simulated consultative exercise on behalf of the European Commission. The topic is regulation of social robots in care settings (e.g. dementia care), currently underdeveloped in Europe. There may be a need for targeted regulation at EU, national, local or industry level; conversely, existing regulation (e.g. health and safety, product liability, medical devices standards) may be sufficient to guide practice in this emergent care field. The simulation is based on a fictional scenario and participants will develop and present their views from a specific stakeholder viewpoint. The aim is to agree on the parameters of any such future regulatory framework.
Should Robots Have Standing? From Robot Rights to Robot Rites
Authors: Gunkel David J.
Published: January 2023

“Robot” designates something that does not quite fit the standard way of organizing beings into the mutually exclusive categories of “person” or “thing.” The figure of the robot interrupts this fundamental organizing schema, resisting efforts at both reification and personification. Consequently, what is seen reflected in the face or faceplate of the robot is the fact that the existing moral and legal ontology—the way that we make sense of and organize our world—is already broken or at least straining against its own limitations. What is needed in response to this problem is a significantly reformulated moral and legal ontology that can scale to the unique challenges of the 21st century and beyond.

Authors: Yousif Raghad Zuhair , Almashhadani Yazen Saifuldeen , Rasool Basud Mohammed
Published: January 2023

Demanding extra Bandwidth and high data rates has been meet by the integration both of wired and wireless communication systems. For that the Radio over Fiber (RoF) technology has gained a traction. In this article a Coherent Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CO-OFDM) is proposed as the main wired system for transmitting data at high rates suffers from the polarization mode dispersion and chromatic dispersion of the optical channel which mitigates the data rates. Thus, to combat these limitations a Desperation Compensation Fiber (DCF) which adds negative attenuation to the optical signals transmitted in optical fiber is suggested. Moreover, the addition of Wavelength- Division- Multiplexing (WDM) to the system of transmission provides better bandwidth saving, high data rates, and better spectral efficiency, and power utilization. The efficiency of high data rate CO-OFDM integrated with RoF for long haul transmission between 100km and 450km with data rates up to 10 Gbps have been investigated in this article with SMF-DCF with 16 DPSK and 16-QAM modulations schemes respectively. The simulation results showed that the proposed system can achieve a high data rate up to 55 Gbps but when integrated with WDM, with a fiber link length can be increased to up to 6600 kilometers, with highest data rate up to 1.65 Tbps.

Actual questions of the philosophical understanding of tourism
Authors: Zinchenko V.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to topical issues of philosophical understanding of tourism as a significant phenomenon in public life and an important component of economic development. With each new period of civilization development, the phenomenon of tourism is becoming more and more multifaceted. In a number of countries its development is a priority, taking into account the percentage of employment and high financial profitability. Tourism has long been the basis of the hospitality industry.The article describes the main components of the philosophy of tourism. The axiological meaning of philosophical tourism is revealed. The philosophical praxeology of tourism is explained. The antinomies of unlimited tourist activity are substantiated.There are many examples of completely unnecessary, and sometimes simply inappropriate use of the term “philosophy”. Leaving such arbitrariness on the conscience of their authors, let us emphasize that the “purpose” of philosophy in its classical and modern form is to determine for people by its means and capabilities the meaning-forming guidelines of life, thereby attracting them to the world of wisdom, the realm of sophistication. Developing the idea of a common, universal form of cultural wealth, philosophy reveals and formulates in theoretical concepts the invariable “eternal” principles of human worldview, worldview and worldview. The urgent task of philosophical culture is to substantiate the methodology of finding solutions to the increasingly complex problems of human existence in a rapidly changing world (“Heraclitian flow”), to equip the individual in his/her discovery of new meanings of his/her own existence.Let us state the range of philosophical definitions used to explain various realities of social life and human activity has recently expanded significantly. “If in the late nineteenth and in the first half of the twentieth century the sciences of man and society were considered completely separated from philosophy, today they are undergoing a kind of “refilosophy”, which leads to changes in the relationship between the sciences of man and society themselves”.

The application of Islamic accounting in Islamic banking companies has developed. Sharia accounting has the principle of disclosure based on Allah's orders in accordance with the principles of Islamic law fully and openly in submitting its financial statements, therefore disclosure of halal and nonhalal transactions is required as a form of responsibility to the public in accordance with AAOIFI and PSAK standards. However, this application often causes problems in agency theory regarding conflicts of interest that are not commensurate between the principal and the management. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out the theory of agency in the perspective of Sharia accounting. The method used in this study is a literature study method, by looking for relevant reference theories based on existing cases or problems. The results of this study show that it is very necessary to present transparent financial statements in order to reduce agency problems so that this can show evidence so that there is no information hidden by each company. With the transparency of this report, it can show that managers have honest and trustworthy behavior and do not commit acts prohibited by religion.
