O diagnóstico de fraturas lombares devido a osteoporose e osteopenia é uma tarefa desafiadora devido a semelhança entre os dois casos. A princípio, ambas saõ assintomáticas, podendo posteriormente levar a fratura por fragilidade óssea. Na literatura há estudos promissores na diferenciação entre corpos vertebrais com e sem fraturas. Nestes estudos saõ usados a abordagem radiômica e redes neurais com transferência de aprendizado em corpos vertebrais segmentados. Contudo, a segmentação manual ou semi-automática ainda é um processo trabalhoso. Por este motivo, neste artigo é realizada a comparação da influência do tamanho da regiaõ de interesse sobre a classificação final. Assim, nosso principal objetivo consiste o quanto de detalhe é necessário na segmentação de forma a se obter resultados aceitáveis. Desta forma, é possível que o processo de segmentação seja facilitado ou automatizado em trabalhos futuros. Os resultados experimentais e a validação estatística obtidos com uma base de imagens representativa contendo 2400 casos, divididos meio a meio entre classes com e sem fraturas, demonstram que é possível reduzir o tamanho das regiões de interesse em até 45% sem diferença significativa na acurácia. Com o modelo Xception apresentando resultados mais próximos quando comparado com as imagens originais.

Authors: Magalhães Arthur T. , Hirata Nina S. T.
Published: March 2024

Spiders often seek shelter in the heat and safety of homes and although most of them are harmless, some can represent a real danger. Since differentiating spider species can be a challenge for individuals without prior knowledge, having a method to identify them could be useful in order to avoid potentially venomous ones. To address this question, this project aimed to analyze and compare the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and vision transformers (ViT) regarding the quantitative and qualitative performance in the task of classifying different species of spiders from their images. We utilized publicly available images consisting of 25 Brazilian spider species and around 25,000 images. We selected the models based on their metrics and generalization performance in this classification task. The preliminary results indicated that ConvNeXt emerged as the most proficient among the examined Convolutional Neural Networks, achieving a macro accuracy of 88.5%. As for the Vision Transformers, MaxViT surpassed its counterparts, registering a macro accuracy of 90.1%, and outperformed the models in a direct comparison of their performance metrics. These results may contribute to the development of applications aimed at identifying spiders and providing information of interest about the species.

Published: March 2024

Background: Residency programs transitioned to primarily virtual interviews due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift raised questions regarding expectations and patterns of applicant cancellation timeliness. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in applicant cancellations after transitioning to virtual interviews.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of interview data from a three-year emergency medicine residency at a tertiary-care academic medical center. Using archived data from Interview Broker, we examined scheduling patterns between one in-person (2019–2020) and two virtual interview cohorts (2020–2021 and 2021–2022). Our outcomes were the overall cancellation rates relative to interview slots as well as the proportion of cancellations that occurred within 7 or 14 days of the interview date.Results: There were 453 interview slots and 568 applicants invited. Overall, applicants canceled 17.1%of scheduled interviews. Compared with in-person interviews, applicants canceled signiﬁcantly fewer virtual interviews (in person: 40/128 (31.3%), virtual year 1: 22/178 (12.4%), virtual year 2: 15/143 (10.5%), P = 0.001). Conversely, applicants canceled signiﬁcantly more virtual interviews within both the 14-day threshold (in person: 8/40 (20%), virtual year 1: 12/22 (55.5%), virtual year 2: 12/15 (80%), P < 0.001) and the 7-day threshold (in person: 0/40 (0%), virtual year 1: 3/22 (13.6%), virtual year 2: 4/15 (26.7%), P = 0.004).Conclusion: While limited, at our site, changing to a virtual interview format correlated with fewer cancellations overall. The proportion of cancellations within 14 days was much higher during virtual interview seasons, with most cancellations occurring during that time frame. Additional studies are needed to determine the effects of cancellation patterns on emergency medicine recruitment.

Hybrid axis wind turbine profile design
Authors: Paçacı Çağatay
Published: March 2024

Wind offers vast opportunities in terms of energy potential. Previous studies have shown that wind power can meet all the world's energy needs by using effective wind turbines. However, the efficiency of wind turbines is not at the expected level, and they are not widely used due to various reasons. In this sense, it is substantial to yield airfoils with better aerodynamic properties. Geometrically, wind turbines are divided into two types as horizontal and vertical axes. Within the scope of this study, it was aimed to design a modified airfoil including both horizontal and vertical axes properties. Accordingly, a hybrid design was made in terms of the airfoil axis obtained by the modification of the NACA4412 profile. In terms of the method of the study, the electric generation efficiency of hybrid airfoils with different inclinations was measured under constant distance and air flow. As a result of the study, it was attained that the modified airfoil curved at an angle of 30° was about 12% more efficient in terms of electricity generation than the unmodified one.

Published: March 2024

The paper presents the scale and directions of inter-voivodship migration in Poland in selected years of the 2000–2020 period. The study focused on permanent residence migration and aimed to identify areas of migration attractiveness and migration catchment voivodships. To study the stochastic nature of these migrations, a Markov chain model was used, in which the states were voivodships. An important aspect of the study involved determining the properties of the transition probability matrix as well as stationary probability in order to characterise the mechanism of inter-voivodship migrations in the years 2000, 2010 and 2020. Data obtained from Statistics Poland were used in the analysis. The transition probability matrix showed that the states were connected and irreducible to each other, while the stationary probability of migration to Dolnos´ al˛skie, Małopolskie, Pomorskie, and Wielkopolskie voivodships increased in 2020 compared to 2000. The analysis of the mechanism of migration in the years 2000, 2010, 2020 indicated that Mazowieckie Voivodship was still the main destination for migrants, with the highest stationary probability reaching 0.18 in 2010.

The main function of early childhood education is to be a place for children to process to develop themselves through their world, namely play. The state of the times and its development began to affect the perspective of thinking that in early childhood education institutions more applied play and learning. But nowadays early childhood education institutions are no longer playing while learning but have emphasized learning like elementary school children. Such things as children being forced to accept teaching that is not in accordance with their age is clearly not humanizing because the world of children is a world of play. Using a descriptive qualitative method, it can be concluded that in education, children are expected to feel freedom and also feel unbound by the opinions of other people, both educators and people in the scope of the child's own life, and students are also expected to be able to manage their own personalities with a sense of responsibility without violating existing moral and ethical rules. And where the achievement of humanistic learning in the realm of Christian Religious Education is to shape the child's personality so that the child achieves a change in attitude and is able to become a light in the community. The application of humanistic learning theory in early childhood in the frame of Christian faith can produce experiences that are holistic. with a focus on the needs and potential of children.AbstrakFungsi utama pendidikan anak usia dini adalah menjadi suatu wadah bagi anak untuk berproses mengembangkan dirinya melalui dunia mereka yaitu bermain. Keadaan zaman dan perkembangannya mulai memengaruhi perspektif berpikir yang pada lembaga pendidikan anak usia dini lebih diterapkan bermain dan belajar.

The Intersection of Anthropology and Criminal Law: Insights for Policy and Practice
Authors: Ashriani Sheilla Manzila
Published: March 2024

The intersection of anthropology and criminal law offers valuable insights for informing policy and practice in the criminal justice system. This article explores the dynamic relationship between anthropology and criminal law, highlighting the contributions of anthropological research to understanding crime, criminal behavior, and the functioning of legal systems. Through a qualitative approach, this study conducts a comprehensive review of relevant literature and utilizes library research methods to synthesize key findings. The analysis reveals that anthropology provides unique perspectives on cultural norms, social structures, and power dynamics that influence the formulation and application of criminal laws. By examining diverse cultural contexts, anthropologists uncover the complexities of crime and justice, shedding light on issues such as legal pluralism, cultural defense, and the role of indigenous justice systems. Furthermore, anthropological insights challenge conventional approaches to criminal justice, emphasizing the importance of context- specific interventions and culturally sensitive practices. This article identifies five key themes that emerge from the literature review: cultural relativism, legal pluralism, the social construction of crime, indigenous justice systems, and the impact of globalization on legal norms. These themes offer valuable lessons for policymakers, legal practitioners, and criminal justice professionals seeking to develop more effective and culturally responsive approaches to crime prevention, law enforcement, and criminal adjudication. By bridging the gap between anthropology and criminal law, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of crime and justice in diverse cultural contexts.

Published: March 2024

Osmanlı Devleti’nin kuruluş döneminden itibaren tasavvufi zümreler ve ekoller toplumsal hayatın, ilim-kültür ortamının ve iktisadi ilişkilerin ayrılmaz bir parçasıdır. Bu ekoller arasında kökenleri ve teşekkülü Türkiye Selçuklu Devleti’nin çöküş devrelerine uzanan Mevlevîlik edebi gücü ve sultanlar, vezirler gibi nüfuzlu devlet adamları üzerindeki tesirleriyle ön plana çıkmıştır. Mevleviliğin bütün yönleriyle tekamülü ise Osmanlı Devleti idaresi altında gerçekleşmiştir. Ancak Osmanlı Devleti ve Konya Mevlânâ Külliyesi’nden Osmanlı coğrafyasının uçlarına kadar yayılan Mevlevîlerin münasebetleri değişen toplumsal ve siyasî koşullardan bağımsız, durağan ve yeknesak bir surette gelişmemiştir. Erken modern dönemde söz konusu münasebetlerin pek çok çatışma unsuru barındırdığı bilinmektedir. Tasavvufi zümrelerin Osmanlı merkezi ideolojisinin taşıyıcı unsurlarından biri olarak üstlendiği işlevin ortadan kalkması yahut bozulması durumunda merkezi otoritenin sağladığı muafiyetlerin, gelir kalemlerinin kesilmesi gibi uygulamalara başvurulduğu görülmektedir. Buradan hareketle, bilhassa muafiyetler ve Mevlevîlerin vakıflardan elde ettikleri gelirlerin idaresi, kontrolü Osmanlı bürokratları ile Mevlevî postnişînlerinin karşı karşıya geldiği başlıca çatışma alanlarıdır. Bu çalışmada, Sultan II. Mahmud dönemindeki Konya Mevlânâ Külliyesi’nin kapsamlı tamiri ve belli mekânların yeniden inşası süreci tamirât defterleri ve keşif defterleri üzerinden incelenmiştir. Mevlevîlere yönelik merkezi politikanın izleri bu tamir süreci bağlamında izah edilmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti’nde merkeziyetçiliğin genişlemeye başladığı ve modern devlet imkânlarının ortaya çıktığı 19. yüzyılın ilk yarısından itibaren Mevlevîler örneğinde tasavvufi yapılara karşı Osmanlı merkezi otoritesinin bakış açısı bu çerçevede analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca Osmanlı merkezi hükümetinin Mevlevîlere yönelik politikasının izahında, keşif ve tamirat defterleri haricindeki arşiv belgelerinden de istifade edilmiştir. Çelebi Efendilerin tayin-azil süreçlerini tanımlayan beratlar ve toplumsal konularda üstlendikleri arabuluculuk rollerine veya çeşitli hususlardaki yardım taleplerine dair arzuhaller de bu kapsamda incelenmiştir.

Published: March 2024

Yak farming is the mainstays of nomadic herders’ economy in Bhutan. However, it has declined over the years despite diverse government interventions. Rapid socio-economic development and access to economic opportunities further hindered yak farming culture rather than helping to maintain highlanders’ livelihood. The study was carried out in four gewogs, Chhoekhor, Sephu, Merak and Sakteng, that depends on yaks for their living. Questionnaire based semi-structured interview was conducted to identify the main challenges and opportunities of yak herding within the different regions and examined the cost-benefit of herding yaks within the premises of nomadic herder’s livelihood sustenance. The study revealed that yak farming generates sufficient income to support the herders’ livelihood even though the profit margin was minimal. Around 90% of herders earned cash income from yaks. Dry cheese was the main revenue generator of Chhoekhor and Sephu, while fermented cheese earnt the highest income in Merak and Sephu. Yaks not only serve as the primary source of livelihood but also acts as a catalyst to generate additional income by gaining access to natural resources such as Cordyceps and herbal medicines. However, increased wildlife depredation on yaks and inadequate pastureland coupled with poor modern amenities threatened yak farming. The findings showed a declining trend in total yak population and number of yak-owning households particularly in Chhoekhor and Sephu compared to Merak and Sakteng. The future of yak farming in Bhutan is uncertain, but there is potential to address the challenges and ensure its continued importance to Bhutanese highlanders.

Published: March 2024

While Bhutan is a carbon-negative country, it still is under constant threats of climate change as it compasses global warming. The most significant impact is the melting of glaciers which has led to the loss of livelihoods including human lives. As Bhutan is a country with dramatic variations of elevation with hot and humid weather in the south to cooler regions in the north, different regions are subjected to different impacts of climate change. Using a qualitative method of research, this study examines the impact of climate change in Phobji and Gangtey Valley under Wangdue Phodrang district in Bhutan, a popular tourist and conservation spot. Previous studies in the same place have concentrated on the impact of climate change on conservation efforts and no studies have been found on the impact of climate change on other forms. This study found that climate change impacted crop cultivation, livestock, gender, and food security. Besides the negative impacts, positive impacts such as the introduction of a new variety of vegetables in greenhouses due to the rise in temperature that leads to improvement of food security have been observed.

Published: March 2024

The present research refers to the interaction of students with disruptive behavior in regular classrooms, for which purpose it was proposed to determine how the interaction of children in regular classrooms is generated in a context in which inclusion must prevail, during the 2019-2020 school period. The methodological approach is qualitative-quantitative in nature, supported by theoretical and empirical methods, where direct observation, a survey of teachers, and discussions with the psychologists of the selected educational center were used. The results obtained demonstrate that the interaction in groups of schoolchildren concentrated in a very large classroom becomes chaotic and uncontrollable due to more effort promoted by teachers and pedagogical and emotional support staff. It was concluded that the interaction of students with disruptive behavior generates emotional conflicts in the classroom, which affects the normal development of intra-class activities and harms the performance of children who do want to learn, and harms their grades and appropriation of the provided knowledge.

E-commerce is now considered a bridge for MSME players to market with a broader reach, even to international markets, which is one of the factors for the rise of Indonesian MSMEs, as well as the growth of the digital economy in Indonesia. However, very few MSMEs are still using technology to grow their business. This article examines how external factors, specifically customers and competitors, can encourage SMEs in Jakarta and Palembang to adopt e-commerce and promote e-commerce adoption. Small and medium enterprises benefit from applying this technology. The research method used was the quantitative conjoint type, using primary data in questionnaires distributed to 101 MSME owners in Jakarta and Palembang using a Google form. The data analysis technique in this study used structural equation modeling (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS) by examining the measurement model and model structure. The results of this study indicate that perceived customer benefits have a significant influence on external relationships and are found to influence cost reduction, as well as a significant influence on loyalty. customer's status. At the same time, perceptions of competitive value increase relationships with external parties and customer loyalty. In contrast, competitive value only affects customer loyalty without significantly affecting cost reduction and external relations

Sasambo batik is a traditional batik from the West Nusa Tenggara province. Sasambo itself is an abbreviation of three tribes, namely the Sasak (sa) in the Lombok Islands, the Samawa (sam), and the Mbojo (bo) tribes in Sumbawa Island. Classification of batik motifs can use image processing technology, one of which is the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) algorithm. Before entering the classification process, the batik image first undergoes image resizing. After that, proceed with the operation of the convolution, pooling, and fully connected layers. The sample image of Lombok songket motifs and Sasambo batik consists of 20 songket fabric data with the same motif and color and 14 songket data with the same motif but different colors. In addition, there are 10 data points on songket fabrics with other motifs and colors. In addition, there are 5 data points on Sasambo batik fabrics with the same motif and color and 5 data points on Sasambo batik fabrics with the same motif but different colors. The training data rotates the image by 150 as many as 20 photos. Testing with motifs with the same color shows that the system's success rate is 83.85%. The highest average recognition for Sasambo batik cloth is in testing motifs with the same color for data in the database at 93.66%. The CNN modeling classification results indicate that the Sasambo batik cloth can be a reference for developing songket categorization using a website platform or the Android system.

The increased usage of the internet worldwide has led to an abundance of web pages designed to supply information to internet users. The use of web page classification is becoming increasingly necessary to organize the growing number of web pages. This classification model serves as a tool to restrict internet usage to specific categories of web pages. To develop the classification model, it’s crucial to check the quality of the dataset, as it determines the performance of the web page classification model. Raw datasets are typically unreliable and subject to noise, which complicates data analysis. This is why data pre-processing is necessary to prepare the dataset properly. In this study, website browsing records serve as the dataset. The primary goal of this paper is to investigate data pre-processing techniques for website browsing records, focusing on Game and Online Video Streaming web pages. Data pre-processing involves two main steps: data cleaning and web content pre-processing. After completing the data cleaning process, the datasets are reduced from the original. This demonstrates that many datasets can be eliminated due to their inactivity or unsuitability as the datasets for Game and Online Video Streaming web pages. Meanwhile, web content pre-processing removes noise from an HTML document, retaining only relevant words that can represent the web page by creating a word cloud image. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) will be used to construct a model for categorizing web pages to determine whether they fall under Game or Online Video Streaming. The pre-processed data will be used as the input for this model.

This work described a concept and design of an anthropomorphic robot hand for the T-FLoW 3.0 humanoid robot, which featured a mechanism based on a lever as its finger movement. This work aimed to provide an affordable, modular, lightweight, human-like robot hand with a mechanism that minimizes mechanical slippage. The proposed mechanism works based on the push/pull of a lever attached to the finger to generate its finger flexion/extension movement. The finger’s lever is pushed/pulled through a servo horn and a rigid bar by the affordable TowerPro MG90S micro-servo. Our hand is developed only as necessary to become close to human hands by only applying five fingers and six joints, where each joint has its actuator. The combination of 3D printing technology with PLA filament accelerates and streamlines the manufacturing process, provides a realistic appearance, and achieves a lightweight, affordable, and easy maintenance product. Structural analysis simulations show that our finger design constructed with PLA material could withstand a load of about 30 N. We verified our finger mechanism by repeatedly flexing and extending the finger 30 times, and the results showed that the finger movements could be performed well. Our hand offered excellent handling for the mechanical issues brought on by finger movements, one of the issues that robot hand researchers have encountered. Our work could provide significant benefits to the T-FLoW 3.0 developers in enhancing the ability of humanoid robots involving hands, such as grasping and manipulating objects.
