Sosialisasi dan Pelatihan Penggunaan Aplikasi SIDOKAR Bagi Kelompok Kerja Dalam Mempersiapkan Akreditasi Rumah Sakit Umum Puri Raharja Denpasar
Authors: Ramayu I Made Satrya
Published: February 2023

Hospital accreditation is critical to improving healthcare quality, reducing patient harm, protecting patients, communities, and human resources, and promoting government health initiatives. One of the problems encountered during accreditation was when the surveyor conducted a document audit. The team needed help showing the documents because they needed to be structured appropriately. The large number of documents in the form of hardcopy allows the document to be damaged or lost. The holding of training and socialization of SIDOKAR application-based technology can solve this problem which is expected to help organize and search documents quickly. The methods used in this activity are lectures and mentoring. The conclusion from this activity was that the activity was successfully realized by monitoring how well each working group was prepared to welcome the accreditation survey. In addition, the implementation of socialization and training also shows that the application can assist the working group in increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of the accreditation preparation process.

Published: February 2023

The implementation of this Community Service (PKM) activity is assisting in the design or manufacture of chatbots which is a series of training activities for making chatbots. This PKM is a national activity whose participants come from various districts/cities in Indonesia. The urgency of this PKM for participants is: (a) For teachers and lecturers because the development of educational technology is a necessity in the current digitalization era; (b) For the general public, because the chatbot working mechanism is the primary factor to be applied in various professional fields, chatbots are not only applied to educational institutions but also in business activities. In particular, for participants through this PKM, the aim is for participants to be able to design a chatbot application and can use it according to the instructions given to the system through the Smojo.Ai platform. This PKM method is carried out online using video conference zoom cloud meetings, Google meet, and WhatsAps Group (WAG) which consists of 3 (three) stages starting from the preparation stage to the evaluation stage from September to October 2022. The achievements of this PKM of 90% which is the average value of the tests carried out, namely: (a) Based on the results of the participant chatbot design, the predetermined target is 80%; (b) Based on the results of testing the participant's chatbot accuracy shows a result of 100%. The implication of the results of this PKM is to contribute to literacy and skills for participants in keeping up with the times, especially information technology which currently influences most activities in the education and business sectors. The next stage of development after the PKM has been successfully carried out is that participants are expected to be able to develop their skills to create and design chatbots independently according to their needs, profession, and field of work which can not only be applied to the education sector but can also be applied to various sectors. Chatbots can be developed in the tourism, retail, service, and other sectors that require customer service to answer repeated questions or for other needs.
On the Complementarity of the Austrian and Monetarist Traditions
Authors: Israel Karl-Friedrich
Published: February 2023

In his article, Professor Salin focuses on two main aspects of monetary economics: first, the neutrality and stability of money, and, second, the balance of payments. Professor Salin rightly points out that monetarists in some sense follow a more pragmatic approach by trying to formulate an optimal monetary policy rule, given the current monetary system. At least some Chicago school economists are indeed open to a genuine free market in money. But there is an important element that makes economists of the Chicago-monetarist tradition more prone to opting for government involvement in the monetary system than Austrian economists. This element lies in the schools’ opposing views on methodology. The Chicago economists stand for an instrumentalist position, whereas Austrian economists stand for a realist position.
Mindful of authority: A snapshot of the meditation and contemplative practices of some Canadian Commissioned Police Officers
Authors: Sylven Les
Published: February 2023

Research into the benefits of mindfulness training, meditation, and other contemplative practices for the workplace has grown dramatically. Within the context of Canadian policing, the wellness benefits of these mental practices are beginning to be understood. However, little is known about Canadian police officers’ current use of these practices. This information is important for future research exploring the effects of these practices over time, and for police agencies considering introducing mindfulness or meditation training programs into their organizations. This article shares initial findings from a broader, yet unpublished, qualitative study of a cohort of Commissioned Officers from a large Canadian police service who self-identified as having regular meditation practices. Invitations to participate in a study exploring the perceived influence of meditation on leadership were e-mailed to all 605 Commissioned Officers. Of the 13 individuals who responded, 11 met the study criteria. Qualitative content analysis of the data yielded the following results: Commissioned Officers in a wide variety of roles in this police service are engaged in a broad spectrum of contemplative practices; each participant engaged in multiple practices; and the most common reason for beginning to practice meditation was to assist in recovery from a psychological or physical injury. These findings suggest that police organizations introduce a variety of mental training practices early in officers’ service to ensure their career is more positive, resilient, and rewarding.
I’m not faking being sick, I’m faking being well: The need for leadership in mental health for policing
Authors: Edwards Grant
Published: February 2023

The prevalence of mental illness amongst law enforcement officers is increasing despite genuine intent by leaders, policy makers and practitioners to combat this public health epidemic. Significant gaps exist in understanding mental health leadership, governance, education, and training, and the influence police culture has on help-seeking behaviours. This paper argues that introducing constructive and actionable processes to address these gaps will benefit greater productivity, lower levels of absenteeism, lower insurance premiums, reduce risk factors for illnesses, improve quality of life and sense of well-being, elevate cognitive performance, and reduce levels of stress. This will encourage investment in mental health, strengthen police employee– employer relationships, and save many relationships and lives.

Published: February 2023

Mental health issues, and more specifically suicide, within the policing community have been a growing concern in recent years. In 2018 alone, there were nine suicides among active and retired police officers in the province of Ontario. At the time, nine suicides in one year were shocking and began to raise focused awareness of mental health challenges facing the profession. In 2021, the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General created Mental Health Collaborative Tables comprised of key stakeholders, subject matter experts, public safety personnel (PSP) with lived experience, mental health clinicians, and researchers. The Mental Health Secretariat (MHS) is responsible for supporting the tables. The MHS is accountable to the Deputy Solicitor General and has a mandate to provide a provincial action plan to address mental health issues among PSP. This article explains key observations regarding Ontario’s innovative approach to improving mental health supports for PSP and describes the perspective offered by Karen Prokopec, Manager, MHS at Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General, and her colleague, Zarsanga Popal, Senior Performance Measurement and Evaluation Specialist with the MHS, on the establishment of the MHS.

Reducing Computation Time with Priority Assignment in Distributed MPC
Authors: Scheffe Patrick , Kahle Julius , Alrifaee Bassam
Published: February 2023

Distributing computations among agents in a networked control system (NCS) reduces computational effort. One distribution strategy is prioritized distributed model predictive control (P-DMPC). In P-DMPC, we couple and prioritize interacting agents to achieve a desired behavior of the NCS. We characterize the interaction with a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The computation time of the NCS is mainly determined through the longest path in the DAG. The longest path depends on the undirected coupling graph, which is fixed, and the prioritization, which is variable. The approaches to prioritize agents are numerous and pursue various goals. This article presents an approach to assign priorities in P-DMPC to reduce the longest path length in the coupling DAG and thus the computation time for the NCS. We prove that this problem can be mapped to a graph-coloring problem, in which the number of colors required corresponds to the longest path length in the coupling DAG. We further propose to reorder the colors, which decreases the number of constraints for agents along the longest path in the coupling DAG. We propose a decentralized graph-coloring algorithm to determine priorities for the agents. We evaluate the approach by applying it to trajectory planning for networked and autonomous vehicles on roads.

Most modern ANPR systems heavily depend on image processing techniques like contouring and gray-scaling to segment the license plate and use optical character recognition to extract the number from the manipulated image of the number plate. The major advantage of such systems is that they require less computational power and are quite cost-effective. But these systems process the complete images rather than just the region of interest. The more modern ANPR systems rely on object detection algorithms to overcome this challenge and process only the area of interest from the image. But these systems are not suitable for real-time applications due to high computational overhead and high processing time. To overcome the limitations of the existing ANPR systems, we propose an intelligent ANPR is a system for detecting and extracting number plate details from images or sequences of images of vehicles. The proposed deep learning model is based on an improved version of the You Only Look Once (YOLOv4) algorithm. The performance evaluation demonstrates that our model is able to recognize the number plates with an accuracy of above 95% under varied conditions such as high-speed moving vehicles, varying lighting, and vehicle dense area on Indian roads. The system is robust enough to detect the number plates of fast moving vehicles (speed≤ 80km/hr) as well as vehicles in highly traffic dense areas.
Marker Displacement Method Used in Vision-Based Tactile Sensors—From 2D to 3D: A Review
Authors: Li Mingxuan , Li Tiemin , Jiang Yao
Published: February 2023

This article presents a detailed review and categorizing of the marker displacement method (MDM) used in vision-based tactile sensors. Vision-based tactile sensors have been proven to be a promising solution for robot tactile perception. Among such sensors, MDM is one of the most commonly used contact characterization and extraction methods. It uses visual approaches to obtain contact deformation and achieve multimodal tactile perception using physical models and post-processing algorithms. In recent years, many tactile sensors using MDM have been developed. However, the existing research does not strictly distinguish between the different types of methods but is uniformly grouped into MDM. Without differentiation, there might be a lack of systematic and comprehensive guidance in analyzing and optimizing the characteristics of MDM and selecting the most suitable method. This article is the first to classify MDM into three typical categories based on the dimensionality perspective: 2D MDM, 2.5D MDM, and 3D MDM. 2D MDM relies only on the monocular camera to acquire the marker array’s 2D displacement field. 2.5D MDM supplements 2D MDM with selected indirect features reflecting the location of the markers in the third dimension. 3D MDM employs a multi-camera system and can obtain the 3D displacement field using the stereo vision method common. Based on the latest literature, we compare the principles, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and applications of the three ways in detail. This work can provide a valuable reference for researchers interested in applying MDM in fields such as vision-based tactile sensors.

In this paper, we aim to assess the regularity of physical activities through longitudinal sensor data, which reflects individuals’ all physical activities over an extended period. We present several entropy models, including entropy rate, approximate entropy, and sample entropy, which offer a more comprehensive evaluation of physical activity regularity compared to metrics based solely on periodicity or stability. We also propose a framework to validate the performance of entropy models on both artificial and real- world physical activity data. The results indicate entropy rate is able to identify not only the magnitude and amount of noise but also macroscopic variations of physical activities, such as differences on duration and occurrence time. Si-multaneously, entropy rate is highly correlated with the predictability of real-world samples, further highlighting its applicability in measuring human physical activity regularity. Leveraging entropy rate, we investigate the regularity for numerous individuals. We find the composition of physical activities can partially explain the difference in regularity among individuals, and the majority of individuals exhibit temporal stability of regularity.

Density-based Clustering for Next-Generation Network Planning Assisted by Real Data
Authors: Khan M. Umar
Published: February 2023

 We propose a novel density-based learning technique assisted by real data to determine the appropriate Epsilon and to locate the HTC. We have also studied the correlation of anomalous BSs (ABs) in the data in the context of network planning. The algorithm, density-based network clustering (DNC), determines the ABs, identifies the HTC and the appropriate value of Epsilon by satisfying the MNOs’ requirements on the highest traffic density MB/km2 and the target deployment area in km2 . We use the k nearest neighbors (k-NN) as a benchmark to compare the appropriate value of Epsilon and other performance parameters. 
Deep Reinforcement Learning for Tenuous Subgraph Finding

Tenuous subGraph finding (TGF) problem has been proposed to identify a subgraph with few social interactions and weak relationships among nodes. In particular, it aims to find a subgraph consisting of k nodes in social network G, such that the subgraph can minimize the tenuity metric. Most of the proposed techniques suffer from enormous computation due to focusing on graph-structured data. Even worse, the design of these algorithms requires manually designing suitable search strategies for specific scenarios, which is hard to be understood and implemented. To overcome these issues, this paper proposes a novel model named graph neural network with reinforcement learning for tenuous subGraph finding (R TGF), an end-to-end model combining GNN module with the reinforcement learning module, which automatically obtains the optimal solution for the tenuous subgraph. We first introduce a variant of GNN that solves the tenuity reservation problem when encoding nodes. Then we design a reward function to evaluate the node influence on subgraph tenuity. Based on this model, we can construct the solution according to the tenuity evaluations efficiently, rather than spending a high cost to compute the shortest path and enumerate all the paths between nodes. Considering the error transfer of two modules, we introduce the joint optimization strategy. Experimental results on the real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate our proposed method R TGF outperforms existing algorithms in efficiency and solution quality.

A hardware neuron that can generate a broad class of activation functions is introduced. The requirements on the explicit form of activation functions within neural networks is not stringent. It is shown that the use of standard transistors can readily provide a variety of nonlinear transfer functions that can serve as activation functions. The similarities and differences of the hardware generated activation functions to commonly used mathematical activation functions are presented. A hardware neural network (HNN) based upon the neuron design is evaluated for pattern recognition. The accuracy and robustness of the HNN for the application is found to be comparable to its software counterpart even with moderate performance degradation due to perturbations to the inputs and component variability. This CMOS compatible neuron allows for HNN designs that are readily manufacturable leading to a practical, low-power platform for including HNNs into applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and systems-on-a- chip (SoC).

Published: February 2023

The future electric grid will be pervasively supported by a large number of smart inverters distributed at the grid edge, whose dynamics are critical for grid stability and resiliency. The operating conditions of these inverters may vary across a wide range, leading to various impedance patterns and complicated grid-inverter interaction behaviors. Existing analytical impedance models require thorough and precise understandings of system parameters and make numerous assumptions to reduce the system complexity. They can hardly capture complete electrical behaviors of physical systems when inverters are controlled with sophisticated algorithms or performing complex functions. Real-world impedance acquisitions across multiple operating points through simulations or measurements are expensive and impractical. Leveraging the recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, we present the InvNet, a few-shot machine learning framework that is capable of characterizing inverter impedance patterns across a wide operation range when only limited impedance data for each inverter is available. The InvNet is capable of extrapolating from physics-based models to real-world models and from inverters to inverters. Comprehensive evaluations were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach in various application scenarios. All data and models were open-sourced. We showcase machine learning and neural networks as powerful tools for modeling black-box characteristics of sophisticated grid-edge energy systems and their capabilities of analyzing behaviors of larger-scale systems that cannot be described via traditional analytical methods.
