The subject of the study is models and methods for organizing a semantic communication system to increase the throughput of a wireless communication system. The goal is to develop recommendations for the implementation of multiple access with the distribution of information space according to the model. The development is based on artificial intelligence technology, which allows us to extract general and personalized semantic information from the multidimensional semantic space separately, allowing the communication system to move from the traditional transmission of information bits to the transmission of a model. The task is to ensure stable and reliable operation of a wireless network with an extended communication channel bandwidth. Methods used: methods of analytical modeling and time-position pulse coding. The following results were obtained. It is shown that in order to ensure the high quality of the wireless network, it is necessary to expand its bandwidth, which is limited by the physical resource of the radio frequency spectrum. It is proposed to overcome this contradiction by applying the technology of multiple access with distribution over the model. In this case, the information signal is emitted to the base station without a carrier frequency simultaneously in the entire frequency band, provided that the signal level is lower than the noise level. In this case, the method of positional-time coding is used, in which each information bit is encoded by hundreds of ultra-short chip pulses arriving in a certain sequence. In such wireless communication systems, the use of autocorrelation reception of modulated ultra-wideband signals is proposed. At the same time, the best reliability and noise immunity is provided by a wireless network using the time separation of the reference and information signals. Conclusions. Semantic communication systems with autocorrelation reception and separate transmission of reference and information signals provide an increase in the bandwidth of a wireless communication system, a high level of structural signal concealment, and reliable transmission of digital information, especially in conditions of interference.

Published: September 2024

Lactate dehydrogenase have a key role in providing energy to cells under physiological and hypoxic conditions. Changes in the activity of the enzyme can be facilitated by nitric oxide (II), regulating the expression of individual fractions of lactate dehydrogenase. Aim. To study changes in the isoenzyme spectrum of rat epididymis lactate dehydrogenase under conditions of hypoxia and modulation of nitric oxide (II) synthesis. Material and methods. Male rats (32) were divided into 4 groups (n=8): 1) chronic normobaric hypoxia; 2) control to group 1; 3) hypoxia together with modeling of nitric oxide deficiency; 4) hypoxia against the background of induction of NO synthesis. The mitochondrial fraction and non-mitochondrial cytoplasm of the head and tail of the epididymis were isolated for laboratory research. The zymogram was obtained by electrophoresis in 7% gel followed by detection by the precipitation reaction of the reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium. The overall activity of lactate dehydrogenase was assessed and the percentage of isoenzyme fractions was calculated. Fractions 1 and X of lactate dehydrogenase were analyzed, the results were con-sidered statistically significant if p 0.05 when comparing two independent samples, and p 0.0167 when comparing three independent samples. Results. Chronic normobaric hypoxia leads to a decrease in lactate dehydrogenase activity compared to the control group. At the same time, the share of the X-fraction of the enzyme and lactate dehydrogenase 1 increases. Modulation of nitric oxide (II) deficiency against the background of hy-poxia increased the activity of the enzyme in the head of the epididymis, where a decrease in the studied fractions of lactate dehydrogenase was ob-served compared to the group of animals subjected only to hypoxia. Stimulation of the synthesis of nitric oxide (II) during hypoxia led to a decrease in the X-fraction, but an increase in the 1st fraction of lactate dehydrogenase in the head of the epididymis, in the tail of the epididymis, opposite changes were observed. Conclusion. Hypoxia causes a change in the ratio of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes towards an increase in lactate dehydrogenase B and lactate dehydrogenase X, while a deficiency of nitric oxide (II) contributes to a decrease in lactate dehydrogenase X synthesis.

Published: September 2024

In this study, we focused on the characterization of ten bacterial isolates obtained from Eryx jaculus (oral, skin, feces, and cloaca samples) using cultural methods and determine some virulence factors (antibiotic resistance, VanA, and TetM resistant genes, biofilm, siderophore, and some enzymatic activities, etc.). Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) and virulence index (VI) of each strain were also calculated. Citrobacter freundii NH10 (EJF1), Enterococcus thailandicus 2545 (EJF2), Enterococcus faecium MG5232 (EJF3), Klebsiella pneumoniae KR56 (EJF4, EJC1, EJS1), Enterococcus mundtii AF-1 (EJC2, EJC3), Paraclostridium benzoelyticum CM8 (EJO1), Enterococcus faecalis MG5206 (EJO2) have been identified and this is the first record of the P. benzoelyticum CM8 and E. thailandicus 2545 from E. jaculus species. It was observed that all isolates produced amylase, while most of them produced siderophore (n = 7), hemolysin (n = 6) and protease (n = 6). It was determined that EJF2 and EJC2 strains produced weak positive (++) biofilm, while the other eight strains produced strong positive (+++) biofilm. Different sensitivity and resistance rates were observed against various antibiotic classes. While AM10 and A10 were determined as the antibiotics with the highest sensitivity, aminoglycoside G120 showed 100% resistance in all isolates. Moreover, EJO1 and EJO2 strains were classified in the high threat category with high virulence and MAR indices.

Published: September 2024

Understanding the elevation and flow dynamics of a region is critical for effective watershed management, especially in areas with diverse topographical features. The Udi, Ezeagu, and Ojir River Local Government Areas in Enugu, Nigeria, exhibit a complex elevation gradient, influencing both geological and hydrological processes. This study aims to analyze the elevation and flow direction within these regions to assess their impact on flood risk, erosion, and watershed management. We conducted a spatial analysis using Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) to map elevation, flow direction, and basin order. The data were processed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to visualize and interpret the topographical and hydrological characteristics of the study area. The analysis revealed significant variation in elevation, ranging from 15 to 597 meters above sea level. The flow direction analysis indicated diverse pathways influenced by the topography, with distinct patterns in Udi, Ezeagu, and Ojir River areas. Low elevation zones are prone to flooding due to flat terrain and slow water movement, whereas higher elevations in Udi Hills show rapid runoff, increasing erosion risks. The flow direction analysis highlights the influence of underlying geological structures on water movement. The study emphasizes the importance of elevation data in watershed management, highlighting areas vulnerable to flooding and erosion. This research provides a comprehensive spatial understanding of how elevation and flow direction influence hydrological processes, contributing to more effective watershed management strategies in Enugu.

Authors: Tesleem Taye Bello  , Akinjide Isaac Akinade
Published: September 2024

The management of nematode pests in rice cultivation is a critical challenge in Nigeria, exacerbated by the limited knowledge and awareness among farmers. This study aims to evaluate farmers' knowledge and identify gaps that could be addressed to improve pest management practices. A stratified random sampling technique was adopted for this study and a total of 200 rice farmers were randomly selected from 20 villages within the three states (Ogun, Oyo, and Ekiti). A structured questionnaire was administered to collect information on the farmers' demographic characteristics, knowledge of nematode pests, and prevalence of nematode pest-related issues. Findings revealed that a significant majority of the farmers (64.5%) are unaware of nematode pests affecting their crops. Furthermore, majority of the rice farmers (66.5%) rely on chemical nematicides as their primary method for controlling pest infestations. The lack of awareness and knowledge among farmers contributes to yield losses and economic setbacks. Strengthening agricultural extension services and increasing research efforts are vital steps toward improving nematode management and ensuring the sustainability of rice production in Nigeria.
End-to-End ML-Driven Feedback Loops in DevOps Pipelines
Authors: Venkata Mohit Tamanampudi
Published: September 2024

DevOps is the new approach in software development that has encouraged interaction between the development and operation teams. DevOps also involves using feedback mechanisms that enhance continuous and rapid cycle feedback. However, what often occurs is that these feedback loops must be managed manually, which takes time and can be prone to mistakes. This paper explores AI and ML's ability to perform feedback loops in DevOps pipelines. In the context of the current study, we investigate the application of big data and real-time monitoring to improve code quality problem detection and prediction of performance consequences. We illustrate how feedback to developers about the necessary changes can be provided through ML models to analyze data obtained from different sources like application logs, monitoring tools, and user interactions. The paper explains the basics needed to establish feedback loops based on ML, which include data acquisition, data cleaning, model training, and online prediction. We also discuss the issues and concerns when using AI/ML in DevOps, such as the model's interpretability, the tool's integration, and change management. In this article, we explain how AI can make feedback loops smarter and provide case studies and real-life examples of how this can help improve code quality, solve problems more quickly, and enhance the relationship between development and operations. Last but not least, we discuss potential research directions for this area's further development, such as approaches to improve model interpretability, integrating collaborative learning into the DevOps process, and creating reference models for AI adoption in DevOps pipelines. In this paper, we use AI and ML to map out ways for organizations to improve their DevOps processes and ensure a feedback loop at every stage.

Published: September 2024

Selection for resistance to viviparous germination is an important step and one of the most effective strategies for solving the problem of vivipary in orthodox seed species. Vivipary generally occurs when mature fruits are exposed to rain. To understand the existing relationships between seed phenotypic characteristics, seasonal conditions and the prevalence of vivipary in Lagenaria siceraria, experiments were carried out under natural conditions during the short and long rainy seasons of 2014 and 2015. Three main conclusions were drawn from the results. Firstly, yellowish seeds with a soft seed coat without a cap and yellowish seeds with a soft seed coat with a thin cap were more susceptible to vivipary with prevalences of 37.64% and 29.75% respectively. The whitish seeds with a hard seed coat and no cap, the brown seeds with a hard seed coat and no cap, the yellowish seeds with a soft seed coat and a thick cap and the seeds with a soft seed coat and a brown cap did not show vivipary whatever the intensity of the rain preceding harvest. Secondly, although the prevalence of vivipary was affected by the interaction of phenotype and rainy seasons, it explained only 7.57% of the variation. Most of the variation in vivipary prevalence was related to seed phenotype (68.33%) indicating that seed phenotype is the main factor influencing vivipary prevalence in L. siceraria. Finally, vivipary prevalence was strongly and positively correlated with rainfall and humidity in viviparous genotypes, whereas non-viviparous genotypes were not affected by climatic parameters.

For human life, land is very important. In its development, land use always develops and triggers land conversion, as happened in Widodaren District, Ngawi Regency. This land conversion occurs due to the sale of crops in cheap markets so that people's economic income decreases and the high population growth causes the need for settlements to increase. Thus the researcher wishes to conduct research related to this matter. This study aims to determine the effect of converting paddy agricultural land into settlements which has an impact on the socio-economic community in Widodaren District, Ngawi Regency. This research uses descriptive research method. In collecting data, this study uses literature, such as previous research reports, news from the internet and other literature. Land conversion is a process of land use that is different from its proper use. In Widodaren District, the use of land for settlements increased from 13.7% to 17.4%, while the use of paddy fields tended to decrease from 49.2% to 43.8%. This is due to the cheap selling price of farmers' crops on the market, high population growth and lack of assistance from the government so that a lot of abandoned agricultural land has an impact on economic growth, namely declining levels of livelihood, the number of human resources and productive activities.

Published: September 2024

This research aims to describe Emile Durkheim's theory of moral education and its relevance to children's education, especially in the Indonesian context. Qualitative research with a narrative study approach is used to collect information from various literature sources, including books, journals, magazines and the internet, which is appropriate to the focus of the problem raised. Emile Durkheim, a pioneer in sociology, explained that moral education is an important foundation in developing individuals who have high social and moral awareness. For him, morality is not only related to individual rules, but is closely related to social norms that enable harmonious living in society. Durkheim's theory is relevant in overcoming the challenges of moral education in Indonesia, including moral decay, globalization, pluralism and radicalism. The implication is to encourage the development of a curriculum that integrates general lessons with religious and moral subjects, organizes extracurricular activities that encourage cooperation and creativity, and applies active and critical learning methods. Durkheim's concept provides relevant guidance for the moral education of children in Indonesia. Applying this theory can help children understand universal values, build involvement in the community, and strengthen collective awareness of the values that bind society. Educational measures such as synchronized integration, extracurricular activities, and the use of active learning methods are key in creating a learning environment that supports holistic moral development for children in Indonesia.
