SECURE DEPENDABLE SELECTIVE STORAGE SERVICES AND SUPPORT FOR DYNAMIC DATA OPERATIONS IN CLOUD COMPUTING
Authors: P VINITHA S , E GURUPRASAD
Published: January 2021

Cloud computing has been envisioned as the next generation architecture of IT enterprise. It moves the application software and databases to the centralized large data centers where management of data and services may not be fully trustworthy. This unique paradigm brings out many new security challenges like, maintaining correctness and integrity of data in cloud. Integrity of cloud data may be lost due to unauthorized access, modification or deletion of data. Lacking of availability of data may be due to the cloud service providers (CSP), in order to increase their margin of profit by reducing the cost, CSP may discard rarely accessed data without detecting in timely fashion. To overcome above issues, flexible distributed storage, token utilizing, signature creations used to ensure integrity of data, auditing mechanism used assists in maintaining the correctness of data and also locating, identifying of server where exactly the data has been corrupted and also dependability and availability of data achieved through distributed storage of data in cloud. Further in order to ensure authorized access to cloud data a admin module has been proposed in our previous conference paper, which prevents unauthorized users from accessing data and also selective storage scheme based on different parameters of cloud servers proposed in previous paper, in order to provide efficient storage of data in the cloud. In order to provide more efficiency in this paper dynamic data operations are supported such as updating, deletion and addition of data.

Published: January 2021

Cloud Computing is a construct that allows you to access applications that actually reside at a location other than our computer or other internet-connected devices, Cloud computing uses internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications, the data is stored in off-premises and accessing this data through keyword search. So there comes the importance of encrypted cloud data search Traditional keyword search was based on plaintext keyword search, but for protecting data privacy the sensitive data should be encrypted before outsourcing. Fuzzy keyword search greatly enhances system usability by returning the matching files; Fuzzy technique uses approximate full text search and retrieval. Three different Fuzzy Search Schemas, The wild card method, gram based method and tree traverse search scheme, are dicussed and also the efficiency of these algorithms is analyzed.
AN EFFICIENT METHOD TO FEED HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES TO FACIAL ANALYSIS SYSTEMS
Authors: R ROOPA , S MRS. VANI.K. , V MRS. NAGAVENI.
Published: January 2021

Image Processing is any form of signal processing for which the image is an input such as a photograph or video frame. The output of image processing may be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image. In many facial analysis systems like Face Recognition face is used as an important biometric. Facial analysis systems need High Resolution images for their processing. The video obtained from inexpensive surveillance cameras are of poor quality. Processing of poor quality images leads to unexpected results. To detect face images from a video captured by inexpensive surveillance cameras, we will use AdaBoost algorithm. If we feed those detected face images having low resolution and low quality to face recognition systems they will produce some unstable and erroneous results. Because these systems have problem working with low resolution images. Hence we need a method to bridge the gap between on one hand low- resolution and low-quality images and on the other hand facial analysis systems. Our approach is to use a Reconstruction Based Super Resolution method. In Reconstruction Based Super Resolution method we will generate a face-log containing images of similar frontal faces of the highest possible quality using head pose estimation technique. Then, we use a Learning Based Super-Resolution algorithm applied to the result of the reconstruction-based part to improve the quality by another factor of two. Hence the total system quality factor will be improved by four.

Authors: VADAYAR K. SRINIVASA , RANI S. DEVAKI
Published: January 2021

High temperature corrosion of coated and uncoated IN738LC and uncoated CM247LC nickel based super alloys in chloride and vanadium environment were carried out. To create corrosive environment (i.e. chloride and vanadium environment) salts of required proportions of Na2SO4, NaCl and V2O5 were applied on both sides of samples and loaded into the furnace at 700°C and 900°C. The weight changes were noted and SEM analysis was done to determine the surface morphology of hot corroded samples. Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine different elements present in corroded samples of CM247LC and IN738LC in chloride and vanadium environments at 700°C and 900°C. The present study revealed that CM247LC is more susceptible to hot corrosion than IN738LC due to varying amount of chromium and tungsten which is explained by degradation mechanism. Coated IN738LC has more life span than that of other samples.

Published: January 2021

The use of fracture mechanics techniques combining with Finite Element Analysis [F.E.A] in assessment of performance and reliability of pressure vessel structure is on demand .The machine elements with cylindrical profile such as cylindrical shells, which are used extensively as the structural configuration in aerospace and shipping industries needs to be leak proof. But during their service life, a crack may initiate on internal/external boundary of circular cylinder which influences on stress distribution in the structure. All flaws in a physical structure may not always have the same orientation relative to boundaries and material interfaces. In fracture mechanics, Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is an important criterion to evaluate the impact of crack as the magnitude of SIF determines the propagation of crack. This paper reviews on investigation of S.I.F for 45 deg arbitrarily oriented flaw emanating from a hole in pressurised cylinder using Displacement Extrapolation Method (DEM) in F.E.M that would aid in the determination of the critical nature of such flaws.
Soft Computing Tool Approach for Texture Classification Using Discrete Cosine Transform
Authors: Chandankhede Pankaj H.
Published: January 2021

Texture can be considered as a repeating pattern of local variation of pixel intensities. Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients of texture images. As DCT works on gray level images, the color scheme of each image is transformed into gray levels. For classifying the images using DCT, two popular soft computing techniques namely neurocomputing and neuro-fuzzy computing are used. A feedforward neural network is used to train the backpropagation learning algorithm and an evolving fuzzy neural network to classify the textures. The soft computing models were trained using 80% of the texture data and the remaining was used for testing and validation purposes. A performance comparison was made among the soft computing models for the texture classification problem. In texture classification the goal is to assign an unknown sample image to a set of known texture classes. It is observed that the proposed neuro-fuzzy model performed better than the neural network.

Authors: Datta Soumya Kanti , Morrow Dr. Philip , Scotney Prof. Bryan
Published: January 2021

Facial feature recognition has received much attention among the researchers in computer vision. This paper presents a new approach for facial feature extraction. The work can be broadly classified into two stages, face acquisition and feature extraction. Face acquisition is done by a 4D stereo camera system from Dimensional Imaging and the data is available in ‘obj’ files generated by the camera system. The second stage illustrates extraction of important facial features. The algorithm developed for this purpose is inspired from the natural biological shape and structure of human face. The accuracy of identifying the facial points has been shown using simulation results. The algorithm is able to identify the tip of the nose, the point where nose meets the forehead, and near corners of both the eyes from the faces acquired by the camera system.

How Can the Least Developed Member Countries of ASEAN Benefit from the 4th Industrial Revolution?
Authors: SMITH Robert Brian
Published: January 2021

The ASEAN members Cambodia, Lao DPR, and Myanmar have been classified by the United Nations as least developed countries, with many of their citizens living below the poverty line, and its workers predominantly rural. This paper seeks to ascertain how these 3 countries can benefit from the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) and the changes required so that their citizens can benefit from increasing economic prosperity, improved social well-being, rising human values, and environmental protection. In this context, the 4IR can be defined as the revolutionary change when information technology proliferates in all industries and is the connection between technology and the market. An analysis of the contemporary data and reports, mainly from the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank, has identified niches which each of the economies can develop on the path to the 4IR. The analysis has also identified a common impediment to progress: namely, the current state of development of the educational system, with curricula which are often not relevant to the needs of the current and future market, and the methods of their delivery in both formal education and industrial training. The changes must ensure that recipients are encouraged to develop skills in critical thinking and communication, including the ability to ask questions. Finally, the paper suggests an appropriate model for the 4IR and the development stages for these economies as they move along the path to reach this goal.

Abstraksi

Saat krisis utang Yunani memuncak, banyak negara terkena efek domino sampai derajat tertentu. Indonesia mungkin terkena juga dampak dari krisis walaupun tidak ada jalur yang kuat untuk mengalirkan krisis. Sampai saat ini krisis utang Yunani belum berakhir sepenuhnya dan karenanya perlu untuk mengevaluasi dampak dari krisis terhadap ekonomi Indonesia untuk antisipasi kemungkinan krisis susulan. Menggunakan model Vector Auto Regressive (VAR) untuk menangkap hubungan antara tingkat harga instrumen Credit Default Swap antara dua negara: Indonesia dan Yunani, penelitian ini melakukan estimasi dampak krisis Yunani terhadap Indonesia melalui Impulse Response Function berbasis parameter model VAR. Hasil estimasi menunjukkan dampak krisis Yunani terhadap Indonesia adalah sangat lemah. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa investor mungkin telah menyadari bahwa ekonomi Indonesia cukup terisolasi dari krisis Yunani dan karenanya tidak mengubah persepsi sovereign risk Indonesia.

Abstract

As Greece Debt Crisis emerged, many countries suffered contagion effect to some level. Indonesia might have been affected by the crisis even there was no strong link to transfers the shock. As the debt crisis has not yet over completely, we need to evaluate the impact of previous shock on Indonesian economy to anticipate the possibility of the next event.  Employing Vector Auto Regressive (VAR) model to capture connection between Sovereign Credit Default Swap of two countries we found our estimation of Impulse Response Function of Indonesia CDS on shock in Greece CDS and concluded that the magnitude of debt crisis in uprising credit default risk on Indonesia was considered to be very low. This dynamic told us that investors may have learnt that Indonesian economy was quiet isolated from shock in Greece and they expected no change in the Indonesia sovereign risk.

Territorialisation of Ethnic Space: Politics of Identity among the Bodo Tribes of Assam
Authors:   Department of Anthropology, M.C College Barpeta, TISS Guwahati India, RAMCHIARY HIMANI
Published: January 2021

The relation between region and nation are understood as emerging simultaneously. An understanding of the articulacy of the Bodoland movement which demands a separate homeland in terms of a separate state carved out of Assam in India, demonstrates that, although the Bodoland movement challenges the distribution of autonomy over territory, it reflects in it the Bodo question of identity. This is reflected in the imagined boundaries which endow the problem of land alienation and render it in terms of ethnic space. At the same time, these boundaries present the viable part of being a home to many other communities other than the Bodos. In doing so, the Bodos trace their belongings and affiliations to a tribe. This study is a reflection upon how the Bodoland movement of the twentieth century takes up the issue of tribal land alienation in the proposed Bodo homeland. The paper intends to brings out the relation between land alienation and the government policies of land allotment which are being used for various development purposes.

The present paper explores how traditional knowledge of totemism of the Oraon tribe of Achanakmar-Amarkantak Biosphere supports the conservation of biosphere. Naming of the clan totems after plants, animals, and other objects of their daily needs or ecosystem reveals their special necessity to the bio-diversity inevitable for their survival and the need for their conservation. Each clan group has its own faith, taboos and other practices which protect these species expressed in the form of clan totem which supports conservation of bio-diversity and natural resources. Genealogical study also reveals the inextricable role and functions of clan totems in the social system of the Oraon community.
A Prospective Audit of Bed Utilisation and Delays in Care across London
Authors: Marinova Milka , Bell Lauren McKenzie , Watkin Simon , Bell Derek
Published: January 2021

Background

A prospective bed utilisation census of acute London hospitals using an established Day of Care Survey (DoCS), which quantified adult patients not meeting criteria for in-hospital care.

Methods

Twenty-three hospitals were surveyed over two weeks in October/ November 2017 using supervised trained hospital staff. Pairs of staff visited wards, reviewed all patients and identified those not meeting inpatient care criteria, recording reasons for delay. Patient demographics, length of stay (LOS), ward specialty and delay reasons were collected.

Results

Overall - In total, 8,656 in-patients were studied (overall occupancy 96%, range 82-117%): 800 definite discharges were excluded, leaving 7,856 patients for analysis; seven hospitals had ≥100% occupancy; 1,919/7,856 patients (24%, range 12-43%) did not meet criteria; 56% of patients were over 70 years; five hospitals had higher number of patients <70yo. 56% patients had LOS 0≤7days. Delayed patients - Number of delayed patients increased with age, but three hospitals had more patients <70yo; 53% had LOS≤14 days and 47% LOS>14 days; 13 hospitals had greater/equal number of patients in ≤14 days LOS. For delayed patients in ≤14 days group, most were within seven days of admission (627 ≤7days, 393 8-14 days). In total 34% (range 11-54%) of delays were related to acute hospital reasons (AHR) and 61% (range 46-83%) to wider system reasons (WSR). Eight common themes accounted for 67% of recorded reasons and were equally split between AHR and WSR.

Conclusion

Data showed high occupancy levels with insufficient discharges. This study suggests policies selecting age and/or LOS alone as cut offs to tackle delays in care may miss a large proportion of patients requiring more timely interventions. Adopting a proactive thematic approach to improvement using the top eight delay reasons provides an obvious opportunity to reduce delays while noting the inter site variation. All metrics analysed emphasized the need for informed local data to help support local change.

Methods

Data from 831 thrombolysed AIS patients in our centre from 2009–2017 were used to compare demographic trends and outcomes (haemorrhage, mortality, three-month independence) in patients aged <80 and ≥80 years and with prior dependency. Comparison with UK and world registry data regarding age and pre-stroke dependency was made.

Results

The percentage of treated patients aged ≥80 years increased year-on-year, doubling from 25% to 50% (p<0.01), with increasing average age and pre-stroke dependency in world centres. Patients ≥80 years had higher (p<0.001) stroke severity, symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage (5% vs. 1.5%), mortality (35% vs. 13%) and lower three month independent survival (24% vs. 60%). Patients with pre-stroke dependency had especially higher three month mortality (57–71%, OR 3.75 [95% CI 1.97–7.15]) in both age groups.

Conclusion

Patients aged ≥80 years and with dependency increasingly receive thrombolysis. Given poorer outcomes thrombolysis trials are needed in pre-stroke dependent patients.

Published: January 2021

Background

Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency. This study was carried out to determine the etiologies of cardiac tamponade and review the management and outcomes.

Methods

We retrospectively analysed case records of patients who underwent pericardiocentesis for cardiac tamponade during the two consecutive years (1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019) at Hospital Sultanah Nora Ismail, Batu Pahat, in Johor, Malaysia.

Results

There were ten patients (eight males, two females; age range 20 to 70 years old, mean age 36 years old) who underwent pericardiocentesis for cardiac tamponade during the said period. Malignancy (40%), tuberculosis (30%), idiopathic (20%), and bacterial (10%) were among the common causes of the pericardial effusion in this center. The commonest symptoms were breathlessness (90%), chest pain (60%), cough (50%), and unexplained fever (20%). Pulsus paradoxus was the most specific sign (100%) for the presence of echocardiographic feature of cardiac tamponade. Two of the patients with tuberculous pericarditis had retroviral disease; one patient had bacterial pericarditis due to salmonella typhi.

Conclusion

This study has confirmed that there are many etiologies and presentation of cardiac tamponade; clinicians should be alert as urgent pericardiocentesis is lifesaving.
Drastic Times Need Drastic Measures: Covid-19 and Widening Access to Medicine
Authors: Smith Kathrine Gibson , Cleland Jennifer
Published: January 2021

In response to COVID-19, schools, colleges and universities across the world have closed or shifted to online/remote or blended teaching, learning and assessment. These changed ways of working pose challenges to students and will likely exacerbate existing educational attainment gaps between different societal groups. Our focus is the potential impact of COVID-19 on widening access to medicine. We provide an account of the process, in the form of comparative cases, of applying for medical school for two applicants from differing backgrounds. Three challenges were identified: family circumstances and support (financial security and parental educational support); staying connected (access to educational material, technology and Wifi); getting the grades and meeting other entry criteria (predicting grades and work experience). We propose that medical schools adopt drastic measures to protect widening access including increasing the use of aptitude tests, contextualised admissions, online multiple mini interviews (MMIs), creative outreach and promotion of alternative means of gaining relevant experience.
The Scottish Scurvy Epidemic of 1847
Authors: MacGillivray Neil
Published: January 2021

This paper examines the emergence of scurvy in several parts of Lowland Scotland during 1847. At first the condition was not recognised because of a mistaken, persistent belief that scurvy was only seen at sea, despite the work of James Lind who showed that sea and land scurvy were one and the same. Professor Christison failed initially to recognise the disease and wrongly thought it was caused by a lack of milk in the diet; colleagues elsewhere correctly attributed scurvy to the loss of the potato in the diet of the poor.
Perceptions of Youth, Parents, Community Volunteers, Corporate Volunteers, and 4-H Professionals about the 4- H STEM Career Pathway Model
Authors: Donaldson Joseph L. , Franck Karen L.
Published: January 2021

This study sought to understand the 4-H STEM Career Pathway Model program, a three-year initiative to expose youth to college readiness skills, career readiness skills, STEM skills, and careers associated with high-demand STEM jobs such as computer scientists and engineers. The qualitative study described here used document reviews, observations, focus groups, and individual interviews. The initiative was conducted in 13 states, and research participants were 4-H youth, parents, corporate volunteers, community volunteers, and Extension 4-H professionals from a subset of those states. Findings were described in four major themes: (a) 4-H STEM programs were perceived as successful and engaging, yet participants described the need for more advanced experiences for youth; (b) 4-H STEM programs required considerable investment in partnerships as well as professional and volunteer development; (c) increased numbers of girls and minority youth were engaged in 4-H STEM programming when local role models and local partnerships were leveraged, and (d) the 4-H STEM Career Pathway Model needs clear concepts and definitions to be a sustainable approach in the 4-H movement. The major recommendation is an enhanced 4-H STEM Career Pathway Model that delineates outcomes. Additional recommendations include the need to provide effective volunteer and professional development and the need for outreach to corporate volunteers.
Animals in Environmental Education: Assessing Individuals' Emotional Reactions to Interactions with Wildlife
Authors: Silva dos Santos Marina , Kelsey Kathleen D. , Fuhrman Nicholas E. , Irwin Kris
Published: January 2021

Environmental education (EE) programs, when combined with human-wildlife interactions (HWI), can trigger emotions, an essential part of attitudes that influence pro-environmental behaviors (PEB). We used participant observation and a post-event evaluation survey to investigate emotional response to HWI among participants from marine educational programs at the University of Georgia Marine Education Center and Aquarium, Savannah, GA. We found that during HWI participants demonstrated positive (e.g., empathy) and negative emotions (e.g., frustration) with animals, including misconceptions and negative perceptions toward snakes and horseshoe crabs. In addition, outdoor exploration, contact with wildlife (direct or indirect), biofacts exhibitions and live animal presentations were the practices that most engaged participants in the programs, indicating that animals (e.g., turtles and crabs) can increase participants’ interest in educational activities. By incorporating wildlife in EE practices, educators can engage individuals in activities and stimulate their emotional attachment to animals, which can encourage changes in perceptions, leading to PEBs necessary for environmental conservation.
Describing Volunteer Involvement in School-Based Agricultural Education Programs
Authors: Edgar Don W. , Seevers Brenda , Graham Donna
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this descriptive study was to assess volunteer involvement in school-based agricultural education (SBAE) programs. An electronic survey (based on Seevers and Rosencrans,2001) was sent to a census of SBAE instructors in three states. Attitudes of involving volunteers was positive although there were some roles SBAE participants’ believed that volunteers should not assume. Primary roles that volunteers assumed include advisory committees, fundraising and assisting with FFA activities. However, activities with the highest number of hours contributed were classroom instruction, FFA activities and chaperoning. Most instructors agreed that while volunteers provided a benefit to their programs it was easier to spend their time and efforts on the task than to train a volunteer. Instructors do believe that volunteers provide a positive service to SBAE programs but are not comfortable in the roles of training and supervising them, indicating an opportunity for pre-service and in-service support.

Published: January 2021

Producing competent, qualified, effective teachers to meet a growing nationwide demand is a daunting task. Identifying and preparing school-based agricultural education teachers is no exception. The purpose of the study was to validate and refine a 58-item effective teaching instrument for SBAE teachers. The population of interest was SBAE teachers nationwide (N = 12,690). Through principal component analysis, 26 of the original 58 items were retained as measures of SBAE teacher effectiveness. The instrument was validated and found to have acceptable Cronbach’s alpha levels for each of the six components. As a result, we conclude the instrument is appropriate for measuring the effectiveness of SBAE teachers and recommend it being used with other teachers, especially those in the Career and Technical Education fields.
The Community Diagnostics and Social Impact Toolkit: Development and Validation of a Reliable Measure
Authors: Lamm Kevan W. , Borron Abigail , Atkins Keith
Published: January 2021

Although there are questions concerning the extent of the problems facing rural Americans, there is considerable evidence that many nonmetropolitan communities are facing a multitude of serious challenges. These issues do not exist as distinct and unrelated problems. For instance, one cannot focus exclusively on depopulation without also confronting economic decline and lack of employment opportunities, deteriorating social bonds, cultural atrophy, decaying infrastructure, and so on. Rural communities are systems in which each problem is linked, and managing these issues requires a holistic approach. Despite the need for robust diagnostic tools to support agricultural educators to work with communities there has been a notable gap in empirical tools to do so. The purpose of the study was to develop and validate an instrument to gauge community perceptions according to the Community Capitals Framework. The results of the study found the proposed instrument demonstrated content, response process, and internal structure validity based on a pilot of six counties in Georgia. Furthermore, the scale demonstrated initial consequential validity based on county level comparisons and statistically significant observed differences.
Perceptions of Undergraduate Agricultural Education Students on the Effects of Question Difficulty and Postquestion Wait-time on Cognitive and Emotional Processes
Authors: Gilliam Kyle C. , Rayfield John , Baker Matt , Ritz Rudy , Cummings R. Glenn
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of undergraduate agricultural students on the cognitive and emotional processes produced after exposure to low- and high-level questions, as well as the effects of post-question wait-time to determine the benefits of differing lengths of post-question wait-time based on the level of question. Forty students were shown four different treatment videos in this with-in subjects design, with each video being followed by either a low- or high-level question. Following each question, a wait-time period of either five seconds or ten seconds was employed before the subjects were instructed to answer the question. The student perceptions resulted in a difference between low- and high-level questions on question difficulty, variability in cognitive engagement, and positive and negative emotions, as well as a difference on their perceptions of what constituted an adequate amount of post- question wait-time for low- and high-level questions.
