Introduction

Piura, located in a seismic zone, faces challenges related to food security. The aim of this study was to analyze aspects related to food insecurity in the region following the 6.1-magnitude earthquake that occurred in 2021, within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

A secondary analysis was performed in 177 people exposed to the earthquake in Piura. Food insecurity was assessed with the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. Its association with insomnia, resilience, anxiety/depressive symptoms, and general variables were determined using generalized linear models.

Results

Food insecurity was observed in 31.1% (95% CI: 24.3–38.4) of participants. This prevalence was higher in people with mild (PR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.12–2.70) and moderate (PR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.09–2.22) anxiety symptoms, severe depressive symptoms (PR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.24–6.03), and previous exposure to the El Niño Phenomenon (PR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.06–2.81). An income higher than 5000 Peruvian soles (approximately 1300 US dollars) was associated with a lower prevalence of food insecurity (PR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.13–0.40).

Conclusions

Overall, three out of 10 individuals experienced food insecurity after the 2021 earthquake in Piura. Food insecurity may be aggravated by mental disorders, previous exposure to the El Niño phenomenon, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Our study contributes to the field by exploring a range of variables related to food insecurity in a unique context: post-earthquake and during the COVID-19 health emergency in Peru. These findings enhance our understanding of food insecurity at the regional level and highlight the need for preventive food security programs in seismic events.

Introduction

Despite the increasing interest in and political commitment to mental health service development in many regions of the world, there remains a very low level of financial commitment and corresponding investment. Assessment of the projected costs and benefits of scaling up the delivery of effective mental health interventions can help to promote, inform and guide greater investment in public mental health.

Methods

A series of national mental health investment case studies were carried out (in Bangladesh, Kenya, Nepal, Philippines, Uganda, Uzbekistan and Zimbabwe), using standardized guidance developed by WHO and UNDP and implemented by a multi-disciplinary team. Intervention costs and the monetized value of improved health and production were computed in national currency units and, for comparison, US dollars. Benefit-cost ratios were derived.

Findings

Across seven countries, the economic burden of mental health conditions was estimated at between 0.5%–1.0% of Gross Domestic Product. Delivery of an evidence-based package of mental health interventions was estimated to cost US$ 0.40–2.40 per capita per year, depending on the country and its scale-up period. For most conditions and country contexts there was a return of >1 for each dollar or unit of local currency invested (range: 0.0–10.6 to 1) when productivity gains alone are included, and >2 (range: 0.4–30.3 to 1) when the intrinsic economic value of health is also considered. There was considerable variation in benefit-cost ratios between intervention areas, with population-based preventive measures and treatment of common mental, neurological and conditions showing the most attractive returns when all assessed benefits are taken into account.

Discussion and Conclusion

Performing a mental health investment case can provide national-level decision makers with new and contextualized information on the outlays and returns that can be expected from renewed local efforts to enhance access to quality mental health services. Economic evidence from seven low- and middle-income countries indicates that the economic burden of mental health conditions is high, the investment costs are low and the potential returns are substantial.
Reconversion of Agri-Food Production Systems and Deagrarianization in Spain: The Case of Cantabria
Authors: Delgado-Viñas Carmen
Published: July 2023

The term deagrarianization refers to the dwindling importance of agrarian activity as the economic and social basis of a rural area. Deagrarianization is reflected in the declining number of people engaged in agricultural production and a reduction in the relative importance of agricultural incomes. In addition to the economic consequences, deagrarianization also erodes the importance of the rural population in territorial organization and management and social functioning in rural areas. However, it is also true that the simultaneous shift towards the service economy in present-day rural economies and societies has not led to the disappearance of the rural space but, instead, given rise to new and multiple forms of rurality. The priority objective of the research on which this paper is based is to gain insight into the rural deagrarianization processes in Spain through the specific case of Cantabria. In order to analyze these dynamics, a series of basic indicators have been used. In order of importance, the main indicators employed were those related to the recent dynamics of agriculture, livestock, and forestry activity and the occupational structure of the population as regards its sectoral distribution, with particular attention being paid to the relative importance of livestock and forestry activities in relation to the direct exploitation of territorial resources. In the past, primary sector activities were very important in Cantabria, but their importance has steadily declined in both absolute and relative terms until reaching the current situation. In 2023, only 4579 people have been employed in agriculture out of a total of 214,574 active people (2.13%). It is very significant that between 2012 and 2021, the total number of employed people increased by 9.08% in Cantabria while the proportion of people employed in agricultural activities decreased by −12.90%. Farming is no longer the rural occupation par excellence; however, it continues to be important in most Cantabrian rural municipalities. The territorial distribution is even more revealing. Southern mountain municipalities can be considered the last stronghold of agricultural activity since, in most cases, more than a quarter of their active population is employed in this sector. These are also the rural areas with the highest levels of depopulation. In contrast, other activity sectors have also gained importance in rural areas, although not in the same way. In general, there is less service economy employment in inland rural municipalities, except in those that are county capitals offering services. Some rural, peri-urban, and coastal areas where tourism is more strongly developed also reach high values.

Published: July 2023

Hz. Ali o kadar muhteşem bir şahsiyetti ki, başta irfan alanında eser yazanlar olmak üzere hemen hemen bütün şairler onun şahsiyetinin özelliklerini göstermeye çalışmışlardır. Bu şairler arasında Nasır Hüsrev ve Senai Gaznevi'nin adları özellikle anılmalıdır. Bu makalenin yazılmasındaki temel amaç, Nasır Hüsrev ve Senai Gaznevi'nin Hz. Ali ile ilgili beyitlerini tek tek incelemek ve böylece şairlerin Hz. Ali'ye olan sevgisini ortaya koymaktır. Senai Gaznevi'nin Hz. Ali'yi öven eserlerinden biri de Hadikatü'l-Hakika ve Şeriatü'l-Tarika adlı eserinin 3. babının 24. bölümünde yer alan “Emirül-Müminin Ali ibn Ebu Talib’in Övgüsü”dür. Bu çalışmada şairler arasında bir karşılaştırma yapabilmek için Senai'nin şiiri esas alınmış ve Nasır Hüsrev'in Divanından anlam bakımından örtüşen mısralar çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. İsmaili şair Nasir Hüsrev ve irfan şairi Senai Gaznevi'nin hayatı ve eserleri hakkında kısa bir inceleme yapıldıktan sonra, adı geçen şiirde Hz. Ali'nin tarihi karakteri ve manevi nitelikleri incelenmiştir. Nasir Hüsrev'in bu konuda yazdığı beyitlere de yer ayrılmıştır. Bununla birlikte her iki şairin Ali ibn Ebu Talib'i tanıtmak için kullandıkları ayet ve hadislere dayalı beyitler de bu çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda hem Nasır Hüsrev hem de Senai Gaznevi'nin Ali'nin gücünü her alanda göstermek dışında İslami kuralları, şeriat kanunlarını ve Kur’ân'ın tefsirini bilmek için ilim kapısı olan Hz. Ali’ye yakın olmanın gerekliliğini insanlara göstermeye çalıştıkları sonucuna vardık. Nasır Hüsrev ve Senai Gaznevi, Hz. Ali'ye şiir ithaf ederek tüm insanların bu mükemmel insanı örnek almasını istemişler. Anahtar Kelimeler: Edebiyat, Nasır Hüsrev, Senai Gaznevi, Şiir, Hz. Ali, Tarihsel Kişilik, Ahlaki Nitelikler.
ARA NESİL DÖNEMİNDEN BİR KERBELÂ MERSİYESİ NEVHA-İ DİL

Published: July 2023

The Nevha-i Dil of Ahmed Servet (1845-1895), who was a tekke poet and produced works in the same years as the Ara Nesil poets, is shown in the sources as an unpublished. However, the research showed that Kitabç Kasbar published the book in 1893 (h. 1311). Accordingly, the text has been latinized. However, the text should be analyzed, and its place in the Karbala Elegies should be determined. In this context, elegy as a genre has been examined and defined on a structuralist plane. Evaluation of the Karbala Elegy in the light of genre is essential for interpreting and explaining Nevha-i Dil because, as genre, elegy can contain many forms and styles. The concepts of stylistics can be used to evaluate the concepts of form and style in the context of the text because stylistics plays an essential role in understanding and making sense of the form of expression at the text plane. Besides clarifying the content’s function, stylistic concepts like foregrounding, parallelism, and repetition clarify the form of the content within the context of the stylesense relationship. The content of the text should be analyzed using semiotic concepts in the functioning of the content. The referents of Nevha-i Dil and the form of the content can be examined by making use of the semiotic square and narrative program. Finally, to understand the deep structure of the Karbala Elegy, figurative expressions should be revealed in the context of figurative language uses. Based on all these, in this study, using the concepts of stylistics, based on the style-sense relationship, the style of the text and the genre and generic relationship within the style are revealed. The form of content was established through the application of semiotic concepts, and the role of figurative language was then analyzed. Keywords: Stylistics, Semiotics, Karbala Elegy, Ahmed Servet, Nevha-i Dil.
AHMET YESEVİ’NİN HİKMETLERİNDEKİ VAROLUŞ KATEGORİLERİ YORUMUNA YÖNELİMSEL YAKLAŞIM
Authors: SARSENBEKOV NURSULTAN , ABDINA AINUR
Published: July 2023

In the article helped by conceptual and phenomenological research methods, existential categories in the “Diwani Khikmets” by Akhmet Yassawi are studied. The aim of the article is to analyze human existence problems, the meaning of life, the relationship of being and time, true love for the Creator, and the phenomenon of life and death. Although Akhmet Yassawi does not belong to the existentialists, existential categories can be clearly distinguished in the “Khikmets”. The concepts of “The Book of Wisdom” are a storehouse of answers to transcendental questions for people in existential crisis. The main purpose of the “Khikmets” is religious, and Akhmet Yassawi presents “intentional” advice on vital issues such as world creation and human nature (being), using existential categories. When we talk about the intentional meaning of existential categories, we mean the understanding of intentionality in Husserl's phenomenology, which considers the act of orientation as the inclusion of the subject in the analysis of an exclusively given object of philosophizing without distraction to other cognitive constructs. It is this subjective experience and living of the act of contemplation that is vividly expressed in “Khikmets” by Akhmet Yassawi. Akhmet Yassawi talks about such deep and exclusively existential categories as life and death. In modern philosophy, it was existentialism that revived attention to these concepts. From the point of view of existentialists, life, even in a situation of absurdity, is of the highest value. But this is life, always “borderline” with death. Life on the verge of death, loss and the search for the meaning of life are situations that Akhmet Yassawi raised long before the existentialism of the twentieth century. Keywords: Akhmet Yasawi, “Khikmets”, Existential Motives in Intentionality, Transcendental Experiences.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to briefly introduce Mübahat Türker Küyel, who was one of the few people who did academic studies in the early years of the Republic of Turkey, and to reveal her contributions to the history of Turkic-Islamic thought. Mübahat Türker Küyel made important contributions in the field of philosophy in Turkey. One of the main reasons for presenting the study is that there are almost no studies on Küyel. As an example of these few studies, the master's thesis on his life, works and basic views can be given. In addition, there are several book chapters written about Küyel. However, although this article gives brief information about Küyel’s life and academic works, our study essentially differs from other studies in terms of identifying her contributions to Turkish thought through her writings. When the works of Küyel are examined carefully, It will be seen that she has various works on Turkish philosophers and thinkers such as al-Fārābī, Khawārizmī, al-Bīrūnī, Ibn al-Sīnā, Yusuf Has Hājib, Ahmad al-Yasawī and Yunus Emre. Küyel's doctoral dissertation titled Üç Tehâfüt Bakımından Felsefe ve Din Münasebeti, which covers the important issues of Islamic philosophy, still maintains its importance. It also should be said that her both translations and publications about al-Fārābī have a very important and original position in terms of Islamic Philosophy studies conducted in Turkey. As well as These studies she wrote about Pre-Islamic Turkish president such as Bilge Qaghan and Tonyukuk. When her works are examined in a holistic way, Küyel's contributions to Turkish culture and thought will be seen more clearly. In this study, which indicates the characteristics of a monograph, the literature was searched, and the descriptive method was used. Keywords: Islamic Philosophy, Mübahat Türker Küyel, Turkish-Islamic Thought, al-Fārābī, Ibn al-Sīnā, Ahmad Yasawī, Yunus Emre.

The significance of intangible cultural heritage in the definition of cultural heritage has increased in recent years. Particularly, the areas where beliefs and doctrines are produced and which are strongly associated with faith leaders cannot be considered separately from the intangible cultural heritage. In this study, the Haci Bektas Veli Complex, which was included in the UNESCO Tentative List of Türkiye in 2012 by emphasizing its strong ties with the Bektashi belief and the role it played in the emergence of the belief, was discussed. For this purpose, world heritage sites, which express the environments in which beliefs or teachings that emerged under the leadership of a leader, were researched and the definitions of world heritage sites and buffer zones were examined. The definitions were compared to the statement of outstanding universal value for the complex. It has been observed that in the definitions of the world heritage sites a wide area containing many structures that are valued within the doctrine or more than one area and / or buffer zone with the same characteristics is preferred. Therefore, it has been concluded that in order to define the relationship established between the Bektashi belief and the heritage site, a heritage definition that includes only the complex may be insufficient compared to the world heritage sites. Within the scope of the study, it has been observed that there is an important cultural heritage accumulation related to the formation of Bektashism belief, in the immediate vicinity of the complex. It has been determined that a world heritage candidacy that takes this heritage accumulation into account will be more compatible with the definitions of world heritage sites with similar features. Keywords: History of Art, Architectural Conservation and Restoration, World Heritage Site and Buffer Zone, Outstanding Universal Value, Intangible Cultural Heritage.

E-Ticaret, internet aracılığıyla ürün ve hizmetlerin alım-satım işlemlerinin gerçekleştirildiği bir dijital ticari model olarak bilinmektedir. İnternetin yaygınlaşması ve internete erişimin kolaylaşması ile e-ticaret, daha geniş bir müşteri kitlesine ulaşma, maliyetleri azaltma ve işlem hızını arttırma gibi avantajları nedeniyle günümüz iş dünyasında vazgeçilmez bir rol oynamaktadır. E-Ticaret sitelerindeki müşteri ürün incelemeleri, işletmeler açısından önemli bir pazarlama aracı olarak görülmektedir. Doğru yönetildiğinde, olumlu ürün incelemeleri satışları artırırken; olumsuz incelemeler ise potansiyel müşterilerin kaybına yol açabilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, müşteri ürün incelemeleri ürün kalitesi ve müşteri hizmeti hakkında fikir vermekle birlikte, güvenilirliği ve müşteri sadakatini arttırmaktadır. Bu nedenle, e-ticaret sitelerinin müşteri ürün incelemelerini dikkate almaları, doğru bir şekilde yönetmeleri ve müşteri memnuniyetini arttırmak için geri bildirimlere dikkat etmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, çevrimiçi müşteri ürün incelemelerinden anlamlı bilgiler elde etmek için yapay zekâ destekli bir analiz gerçekleştirilip, müşteri duyarlılığı keşfedilmektedir. Bu kapsamda, e-ticaret sitelerinde herkese açık olarak yayımlanmış olan ve toplamda 2000 adet müşteri incelemesi içeren bir veri seti araştırma kapsamında oluşturuldu. Oluşturulan veri seti üzerinde müşteri duyarlılığını analiz etmek üzere, derin öğrenme modellerinden biri olan Uzun Kısa Süreli Bellek (LSTM) modeli ve metin kodlamaya dayalı yeni bir model önerisi yapıldı. Denetimli öğrenme yaklaşımı ile geliştirilen model üzerinde yapılan analizler neticesinde %91,50 doğruluk elde edildi. Bir başka ifadeyle, müşteri duyarlılığını oldukça yüksek bir doğruluk oranı ile tahmin edebilen, yüzlerce hatta binlerce müşteri incelemesinin yer aldığı ürün sayfalarında, bu incelemelerden anlamlı sonuçlar üretebilen bir yapay zekâ modeli geliştirildi. Çalışmada, işletmelerin müşteri memnuniyetini arttırmak, çeşitli ürün pazarlama stratejileri geliştirmek, çevrimiçi pazarlama süreçlerini yönetmek ve farklı iş modelleri uygulamak üzere yapay zekâ destekli algoritmalardan faydalanılabileceğine işaret etmektedir.
The Siege of Enniskillen Castle, 1594: An Object Lesson in Combat Across the Land-Water Interface
Authors: McGrath Jamie
Published: July 2023

The U.S. Marine Corps spent the years between the world wars developing a doctrine of opposed landings from the sea in an arena where the ocean provided the only maneuver space, but the opposed amphibious operation is not the province of ocean-borne amphibious assaults alone. The land-water interface impacts warfare well inland from the coast, and much can be learned from the application of riverine and lacustrine amphibious assaults found in history. One such example is the siege of Enniskillen Castle in Ireland in 1594. English operations at Enniskillen demonstrated the value of coordinated waterborne and land-based forces at the tactical level. Considering English lacustrine operations in the Irish Nine Years’ War (1593–1603) and U.S. riverine warfare experiences in the American Civil War and Vietnam War can inform Marine planners as they develop the tactics, techniques, and procedures of the Marine Littoral Regiments.

The global population faces a series of emerging conflicts related to marginalization and insecurity. The Mexican population also presents these signs as a result of the growing economic inequality that exacerbates social tensions whose evidence is the increase in violence and crime. Hence, the objective was to synthesize the problems presented by the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (ZMG) between 2010 and 2019 regarding the degree of marginalization of its population from the point of view of geography. Methodology considered office work for the selection of publication that address the topics: indicators of marginalization and insecurity, complemented by field work such as the three exploratory tours in the area during 2017-2019. The results were: a) map of the ZMG and its conurbation in 2019; b) distribution of marginalization in the ZMG related to the type of road in 2019 and c) the degree of marginalization in relation to the location of the central municipalities and those outside the study area. Therefore, the conclusions were: 1) between 2010 and 2019 the standard of living of the ZMG population decreased since the marginalization index went from being mostly low to medium and 2) the public policies implemented between 2010-2019 failed to break with the delays and insecurity among the population residing in the ZMG, a trend that was consolidated at the national level.

Tax compliance is a compliance of taxpayers with the tax law of the country in terms of declaring their income, filing a return and paying any taxes that are due on time. Tax compliance is essential for the government and tax authorities to achieve the revenue collection target as taxes are the main sources of income to the country. The Inland Revenue Board in Malaysia (IRBM) has recorded 17% increase of tax collection in 2021 compared to 2020. In 2021, more than RM140 billion was collected from three million people and more than 400,000 businesses. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play an important role since they contribute a significant source of government’s tax revenue to ensure sustainable economic growth and development. Recognising SMEs played a crucial role in contributing a large portion of income to the government, this study aimed to identify factors motivating tax compliance among SMEs. The attitude of taxpayers towards tax is influenced by the specific knowledge on taxation, in which the taxpayers have a good understanding of the basic tax system and laws. Thus, tax knowledge among SMEs increases tax compliance as they are more responsible to meet their tax duties. This study also found that high tax morale influencing tax compliance of SMEs. They believe that paying taxes is a sense of moral obligation for the benefits of society. Meanwhile, tax penalties have a significant impact on tax compliance by promoting a positive attitude towards the tax regulations system. In other aspects, tax simplicity has reduced the complexity of the tax system and led to increase of the tax compliance among SMEs. The findings have shown possible strategies for tax authorities to achieve higher level of tax compliance among SMEs towards attaining targeted tax collection for the country.

In Malaysia, more than 97% of the overall business establishments are SMEs and almost 80% of the SMEs comprise of microenterprises that operate with less than five employees. Despite its limited financial and human resources, microenterprises are however considered to be vital for the well- being of the rural communities and capable of reducing income gap between communities. Unfortunately, microenterprises were the most affected by the outbreak pandemic Covid-19 than other business establishments. In rural economy, such as in the state of Kelantan most sole traders operate the microenterprises to support their families’ well-being. Affected income of microenterprises were definitely affected their families’ well-being as well. This study was conducted among businesses in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan with the objective to identify the impact of Covid-19 experienced by them. The study also decided to investigate their readiness to shift to online business. This study applies qualitative approach utilizing structured face-to-face interviews. It was identified that all the participants suffered sales reduction due to Covid- 19 leading to lower income or no income at all. Positively, Covid-19 has forced the microenterprises to quickly shift to alternative online platform to ensure the survival of their businesses.

Published: July 2023

Background: Megaloblastic anemia encompasses a heterogenous group of anemias characterized by the presence in the bone marrow of large blood cell precursors called Megaloblasts. Megaloblastic anemia is most often due to hypovitaminosis, specically vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) and folate, which are necessary for the synthesis of DNA. Overt neurological manifestations of megaloblastic anemia are well documented but there is paucity of data on the existence of subclinical neurological manifestations in Megaloblastic anemia. Hence, we have undertaken this study, to assess the clinical prole of the patients with the megaloblastic anemia. Methods: Present study was prospective in nature conducted among 100 megaloblastic anemia patients. All patients fullling inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria were taken up for the study. Study was carried out over a period of 1.5 years. Results: Majority of the patients was in the age group of 31-40 years and most of them were male. Anisopoikilocytosis (86%) was the commonest peripheral blood smear ndings amongst study population. Out of 100, 29 patients had axonal neuropathy, 10 patients had demyelinating neuropathy and 1 had axonal as well as demyelinating neuropathy. Conclusion: Besides bedside neurological examination, further Nerve conduction study examination is helpful for the evaluation of neuropathies and studies can be considered to monitor the progression of disease and understanding of the varied spectrum of neurological manifestations of megaloblastic anemia

This research used a Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) two factors, the type of acid factor (Jungga citrus, lime, and citric acid) and marinade time factor (3 hours and 5 hours). Each treatments was replicated three times. The attributes observed were sensory test, pH, water content, and microbiological/TPC. Proximate and amino acid analysis will be done for all 3 hours marinade treatment. The results of organoleptic test showed that treatment of acid type and marinade time did not significantly affect the appearance and meat consisten but significantly affect on taste and aroma. The results of analysis TPC Jungga citrus treatment with lime showed the same value. While the value of TPC citric acid was higher but still safe for consumption. The results of proximate analysis for the three types of acid showed that Jungga citrus is the best nutrient content that the water content 63.25%, ash content 3.46%; 7.40% fat content, protein content 25.90% and carbohydrate 0.98 %. Analysis of the amino acid profile in naniura produced 17 amino acids, 9 essential amino acids and 8 non-essential amino acids
Mathematic modeling of the dose in water for calculating collimator scatter factor of flattening filter and flattening filter free megavoltage photon beams
Authors: Ye Yan-Cheng , Shan Zhang-Yan , Jiang Ping , Wu Jia-Ming
Published: July 2023

This study presents an empirical method to model the percent depth dose (PDD) curves of flattening filter (FF) and FF-free (FFF) high-energy photon beams using a home-generated buildup function and tail function (buildup-tail function) in radiation therapy. The modeling parameters n and μ of the buildup-tail function were used to characterize the collimator scatter factor (Sc). The buildup function was a quadratic function in the form of d/ √(d2 + n) with main parameters of d (depth in water) and n, while the tail function was in the form of e−μd and was composed of an exponential function with d and μ. PDD was the product of buildup-tail function and characterized by the buildup-tail function by adjusting the parameters n and μ. The Sc of 6 and 10 MV in FF and FFF beams can be expressed simply by the modeling parameters n and μ. The main parameter n increases when photon energy increases. Its physical meaning expresses the beam hardening of photon energy in PDD. The parameter μ can be treated as an attenuation coefficient in the tail function, decreasing when photon energy increases. The values of n and μ obtained from the fitted buildup-tail function were applied into an analytical formula of Sc,FF = nE(S)0.63 μ E, Sc,FFF = nE(S)4.45 μ E to get the Sc of 6 and 10 MV in FF and FFF photon beams, with nE, μ E, S denoting n and μ at photon energy E of field size S. The calculated Sc was compared with the measured data and showed agreement, finding that the field difference was size within ±1%. This model can be used to parameterize the Sc for some clinical requirements. The modeling parameters n and μ can be used to predict the Sc in either FF or FFF beams for the treatment monitor unit in double-check dose calculation. The technique developed in this study can also be used for systematic or random errors in the quality assurance program, thus improving the clinical dose computation accuracy for patient treatment.

Advanced Self Driving Car Using Machine Learning
Authors: Ashraf Shakeel , Kumar Dr. Vivek
Published: July 2023

There are surprisingly innovative approaches to develop AI systems for self-driving cars, many of which require advanced and high-end hardware. However, this paper proposes a simple AI-based system with low hardware requirements. The proposed system comprises a simple three-layer fully connected neural network that can interpret images captured by a forward-facing QVGA camera and generate corresponding steering commands. When presented with an input image, the neural network selects one of four available commands: forward, left, right, or stop. Surprisingly, the system successfully learns to navigate the road and stay within its lane using only a limited amount of training data (just 250 images). Notably, the system acquires knowledge of crucial road features solely based on the steering angle provided by the human driver, without explicit training for road line detection. In comparison to more intricate approaches like Nvidia's convolutional neural network-based lane detection and management, this method demonstrates remarkable robustness and cost-effectiveness. The aim is to showcase that this approach can lead to enhanced performance and reduced hardware requirements, thereby facilitating the development of more accessible and affordable self-driving vehicles. The described paper highlights that a simple artificial neural network, like the one discussed, is sufficient for accomplishing relatively complex tasks such as lane keeping.

Published: July 2023

A coupled system of fractional order Gross-Pitaevskii equations is under consideration in which the time-fractional derivative is given in Caputo sense and the spatial fractional order derivative is of Riesz type. This kind of model may shed light on some time-evolution properties of the rotating two-component Bose¢ Einstein condensates. An unconditional convergent high-order scheme is proposed based on L2-$ 1_{\sigma} $ finite difference approximation in the time direction and Galerkin Legendre spectral approximation in the space direction. This combined scheme is designed in an easy algorithmic style. Based on ideas of discrete fractional Grönwall inequalities, we can prove the convergence theory of the scheme. Accordingly, a second order of convergence and a spectral convergence order in time and space, respectively, without any constraints on temporal meshes and the specified degree of Legendre polynomials $ N $. Some numerical experiments are proposed to support the theoretical results.

Authors: Zhang Yongde , Yuan Qihang , Muhammad Muzzammil Hafiz , Gao Guoqiang , Xu Yong
Published: July 2023

At present, the incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) in men is increasing year by year. So, the early diagnosis of PCa is of great significance. Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided biopsy is a common method for diagnosing PCa. The biopsy process is performed manually by urologists but the diagnostic rate is only 20%–30% and its reliability and accuracy can no longer meet clinical needs. The image-guided prostate biopsy robot has the advantages of a high degree of automation, does not rely on the skills and experience of operators, reduces the work intensity and operation time of urologists and so on. Capable of delivering biopsy needles to pre-defined biopsy locations with minimal needle placement errors, it makes up for the shortcomings of traditional free-hand biopsy and improves the reliability and accuracy of biopsy. The integration of medical imaging technology and the robotic system is an important means for accurate tumor location, biopsy puncture path planning and visualization. This paper mainly reviews image-guided prostate biopsy robots. According to the existing literature, guidance modalities are divided into magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US) and fusion image. First, the robot structure research by different guided methods is the main line and the actuators and material research of these guided modalities is the auxiliary line to introduce and compare. Second, the robot image-guided localization technology is discussed. Finally, the image-guided prostate biopsy robot is summarized and suggestions for future development are provided.
