An Expedient, Generalizable and Realistic Data-Driven Indoor Propagation Model
Authors: Bakirtzis Stefanos , Chen Jiming , Qiu Kehai , Zhang Jie , Wassell Ian
Published: May 2023

Efficient and realistic indoor radio propagation modelling tools are inextricably intertwined with the design and operation of next generation wireless networks. Machine learning (ML)-based radio propagation models can be trained with simulated or real-world data to provide accurate estimates of the wireless channel characteristics in a computationally efficient way. However, most of the existing research on ML-based propagation models focuses on outdoor propagation modelling, while indoor data-driven propagation models remain site-specific with limited scalability. In this paper we present an efficient and credible ML-based radio propagation modelling framework for indoor environments. Specifically, we demonstrate how a convolutional encoder-decoder can be trained to replicate the results of a ray-tracer, by encoding physics-based information of an indoor environment, such as the permittivity of the walls, and decode it as the path-loss (PL) heatmap for an environment of interest. Our model is trained over multiple indoor geometries and frequency bands, and it can eventually predict the PL for unknown indoor geometries and frequency bands within a few milliseconds. Additionally, we illustrate how the concept of transfer learning can be leveraged to calibrate our model by adjusting its pre-estimate weights, allowing it to make predictions that are consistent with measurement data.
A Novel Framework for Enhanced Interpretability in Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
Authors: Tyrovolas Marios , Liang X. San , Stylios Chrysostomos
Published: May 2023

A Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) is a graph-based tool for knowledge representation that intends to model any complex system through an interactive structure of nodes interacting with each other through causal relationships. Owing to their flexibility and inherent interpretability, FCMs have been used in various modeling and prediction tasks, particularly in situations where humans make final decisions, such as industrial anomaly detection. However, FCMs can unintentionally absorb spurious correlations presented in collected data during development, leading to poor prediction accuracy and interpretability. To address this limitation, this article proposes a novel framework for constructing FCMs based on the Liang-Kleeman Information Flow (L-K IF) analysis, a causal inference tool. The actual causal relationships are identified from the data using an automatic causal search algorithm, and these are then imposed as constraints in the FCM learning procedure to rule out spurious correlations and improve the predictive and explanatory power of the model. Numerical simulations were conducted by comparing the proposed approach with state-of-the-art FCM-based models, thereby demonstrating the promising performance of the developed FCM.
Optimal Antenna Design in the Cancer Tissues Treatment by Hyperthermia: A Review Study
Authors: Bozorgmanesh Mohammad Amin , Sadeghi Mojtaba
Published: May 2023

Although cancer is a recognized disorder worldwide, its treatment is a great challenge; and new and effective treatment methods become one of the fundamental demands. However, one of the new treatment approaches for cancer is hyperthermia, which is considered an assistant to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Despite the proven effectiveness of the method, there are numerous challenges in applying it that require recognizing the effective parameters and optimizing them to achieve better and more effective performance. Considering this, the review paper aims to study the optimization of antennas utilized in the cancerous tissue treatment by hyperthermia. However, four different antennas with different purposes are studied and optimized for this purpose. Furthermore, studies show that recognizing and optimizing the design parameters of hyperthermia antennas is likely to greatly improve the performance of the method.
Vacuum plasma erosion resistant 2D nanocomposite coating Avinit for compressor blades of gas turbine engines of aircraft engines
Authors: Sagalovych Olexiy , Sagalovich Vlad , Dudnik Stanislav
Published: May 2023

The work is devoted to the search for new vacuum-plasma coatings with high hardness to increase the durability of the compressor blades of the GTE of aircraft engines Ti-Al-N-based vacuum-plasma coatings obtained by Avinit technologies, which ensure the application of hard, high-quality coatings with dramatically reduced micro-arc damage, were selected as candidates. Avinit multilayer coatings have higher functional characteristics than TiN (microhardness, crack resistance, temperature resistance, erosion and corrosion resistance) and may be promising for applying erosion-resistant coatings for compressor blades. Avinit technologies are technologically closest to the vacuum-plasma technologies used in industrial production for applying TiN protective coatings. New multi-layered 2D nanocomposite wear-resistant ion-plasma hard coatings Avinit (TiN-AlN)n have been developed. The created software products made it possible to reach a qualitatively new level in terms of further modification and improvement of the designs of Avinit functional coatings, stability of technologies and improvement of their quality control when applying such coatings for use in the production of compressor blades of gas turbine engines of aircraft engines. Special attention is paid to methods of preliminary ion-plasma treatment of surfaces before coating. Metallographic studies of the chemical and phase composition and structure of Avinit (TiN-AlN)n coatings have been carried out. The thickness of the coatings is 7–9 μm, the microhardness is 34–35 GPa (compared to the serially used TiN coating: 27.4 GPa). The use of three-stage ion-plasma treatment in Avinit technologies using a double vacuum-arc discharge followed by the application of strengthening coatings in a single technological cycle eliminates the formation of cracks and ensures the production of tightly bonded, high-quality coatings of a given composition with the maximally reduced share of the droplet component. The developed coatings (TiN-AlN)n were applied to experimental batches of working compressor blades of GTE aircraft engines for bench tests.
Deep reinforcement learning for active hypothesis testing with heterogeneous agents and cost constraints
Authors: Stamatelis George , Kalouptsidis Nicholas
Published: May 2023

We  consider active hypothesis testing with multiple heterogeneous agents. Each agent has access to its own set of experiments, has different action costs and forms its own beliefs. Additionally,  each experiment carries a global cost, and the agents must try to keep the expected cumulative cost below a certain threshold. We study a centralized and a decentralized scenario. Under the centralized scenario, the agents  are instructed how to act by a central controller. Under the decentralized scenario they communicate and exchange information over a directed graph. For each scenario we propose  separate deep reinforcement learning algorithms based on proximal policy optimization. Solutions to the decentralized problem start from fully decentralised training, and progressively introduce two levels of centralisation during training.  We assess the proposed algorithms in an example of anomaly detection over sensor networks, considering three different decentralised communication settings. We infer that all algorithms achieve the required accuracy level considerably faster than a single deep reinforcement learning agent, while satisfying the expected cost constraints when required. Under the assumption that the communication  graph is fully connected, the decentralised agents perform just as well, and sometimes better than the centralised  controller. Out of all decentralised algorithms, the one that uses a global critic is by far the best performing and can compete with the central controller even when the communication graph is not complete.
Optical Mobile Communications: Architecture and Enabling Technologies
Authors: Zhu Bingcheng
Published: May 2023

Modern mobile communication systems exploit complicated modulations to increase spectrum efficiency and larger antenna arrays to suppress co-channel interferences. However, these techniques have also caused surges of power consumption and hardware cost, making it unsustainable to squeeze gains from the radio-frequency electronics. To circumvent the dilemma, optical mobile communication (OMC) systems exploit wideband lasers to carry data, and do not necessarily involve high-order modulation and oversized arrays. In OMC systems, parallel laser beams can achieve data rate of Tbps, connection density of thousands of links/m$^2$, and energy efficiency of Gbits/J, with low cost and low signal processing complexity, as long as the challenges in receiver tracking, channel decorrelation and anti-blocking can be tackled. To this end, this work presents a new OMC system architecture and discusses enabling technologies of practical OMC systems. A prototype is built to verify the feasibility of several key concepts. It is shown that a practical OMC system requires collaboration of fast and accurate positioning systems, rapid laser steerers, optical reflective intelligent surfaces and decorrelation optics.
Data-Centric Content Classification of Smart City Residential Services
Authors: Li Ding , Sun Jincheng , Liu Yan , Du Wenjie
Published: May 2023

The residential services in the context of smart cities accu- mulate massive real-time inquiry data in natural language to describe the services in need. Such inquiry requests have diverse topics in the content and considerable variate length. Besides, the responsible departments that may handle the inquiry involve a large number of organizations, from metropolitan administration to local communities. Hence accumu- lated request data is primary and central to the service of accurately dispatching requests to responsible departments. The challenge is de- vising a data centric approach to fit the data with SOTA models and improve the request classification accuracy. In this paper, we analyze the factors of embedding tokens, data segmentation, model structures, and classification methods. We devise a unified modelling process with mul- tiple dataflows that combine these factors to observe their interactions. The experiment results demonstrate the compound effects and provide insights into how SOTA models respond differently to variations in these factors. The observations allow us to fine-tune the learning task at each stage and achieve a maximum 82.4% F1-Score.

Authors: Dhiman Dr. Bharat
Published: May 2023

In the present scenario, Women journalists have played a significant role in shaping the media industry, from reporting on important events to advocating for gender equality and social justice. However, despite progress in recent years, women journalists still need to overcome several challenges and threats in the industry. Gender discrimination is one major challenge faced by women journalists today. This can take many forms, from being paid less than their male counterparts to being passed over for promotion. Women journalists may also face bullying and harassment in the workplace, which can make it difficult to do their job effectively. Another challenge women journalist’s face is the underrepresentation of women in decision-making roles. Women are often excluded from leadership positions in media organizations, making it difficult for them to have their voices heard and advance in their careers. Women journalists have made significant contributions to the media industry and continue to do so. They bring a unique perspective to news coverage and have helped to create a more diverse and inclusive media landscape. As the industry continues to evolve, ensuring women have equal opportunities to succeed and thrive as journalists are important. This review paper highlights the opportunities and challenges for women journalists in the media industry.

Evaluation of lipid peroxidation, lipid profile and antioxidant status in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in Najaf / Iraq.
Authors: Shamsa Abdulhussain J. M.
Published: May 2023

Background: Diabetes mellitus arises when insufficient insulin is produced, or when the available insulin does not function correctly. Without insulin, the amount of glucose in the blood stream is abnormally high, causing unquenchable thirst and frequent urination. The body's inability to store or use glucose causes hunger and weight loss. Type 2 diabetes' occurs when there is a severe lack of insulin due to the destruction of most or all of the beta ((ß – cells) in the islets of Langerhans. Diabetes mellitus is considered to be one of a rank of free radical diseases which propagates complications with increased free radical formation. Oxidative stress is increased in diabetes mellitus owing to the increase in the production of oxygen free radicals and a deficiency in antioxidant defense mechanisms. Lipid peroxidation of cellular structures, a consequence of increased oxygen free radicals, is thought to play an important role in atherosclerosis and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Hyperlipidemia has also been reported as one of the causative factors for increased lipid peroxidation in diabetes mellitus. The study was designed to find out the relationship between lipid peroxidation, and complication of diabetes mellitus and to estimate the mutual relationship between serum lipoproteins levels and diabetes severity.

The relevance of the scientific problem under consideration is determined by the fact that at present, in the context of a global change in the economic situation, inventory management of finished products is a key element of effective asset management of enterprises of any organizational and legal forms and forms of ownership. Both the excess and the shortage of stocks of finished products create certain problems at the enterprise: with their excess, the costs of storing finished products increase, funds are frozen in warehouses, at the same time, their shortage leads to a shortage of finished products in the warehouses of the enterprise. This problem is of particular importance in the agricultural sector. This article reveals the economic essence of the “stocks” category, defines their role as the most important element of asset management of an organization, and develops directions for improving the efficiency of using the assets of an agricultural organization based on the analysis of its stocks of finished products. The analysis of stocks of finished products was carried out for one of the enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of the south of the Rostov region.
IDENTIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT AND HISTORICAL PREREQUISITES FOR THE FORMATION OF THE INSTITUTE OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES
Authors: HLAZOV Oleksandr
Published: May 2023

The article reveals the relevance of the study of managerial and historical preconditions for the formation of the institute of territorial communities. The purpose of the study is to identify and generalize the managerial and historical preconditions for the formation of the institution of territorial communities in Ukraine. It is shown that the formation of the institution of territorial community in the managerial and historical perspective testified to a long way of transformation of approaches to ensuring spatial socio-economic development. It is outlined that modern new challenges are forcing the world community to change the dominants of globalization processes. Under such circumstances, the functionality of territorial communities on a national scale may continue to increase. It is proved that the glocalization model of community development management will prevail in view of the effective advantages as the provision of quality social services to the population. It was found out that the balancing of powers of central, regional and local government institutions should be carried out based on the standards of living. There are various discussions about the expediency of decentralization of power and strengthening the functionality of territorial communities, including independent subjects of cooperation. According to world experience, decentralization of power is not always accompanied by decentralization of resources to finance new competencies and, as a result, a significant imbalance between delegated new powers and available financial resources has led to reduced or poor provision of social services to the population. However, democratic societies have not yet found a more effective model of public administration. Therefore, the question is not in the shortcomings of the institution of territorial communities, but in the implementation of decentralization reforms. One of the directions of the new functionality of communities is the wide opportunities for cooperation at different levels. These issues in the domestic theory of public administration are still insufficiently disclosed and require proper attention of scientists and practitioners. The applied significance of the research results is to identify the best prerequisites for the development of the institute of territorial communities. The scientific novelty of the research results is the development of aspects of inter-institutional delegation of powers in the management of the development of the territorial community.

Human rights are fundamental rights, namely the basic rights possessed by humans that they carry since they are born that are related to their dignity and dignity as the creation of God Almighty, so that their existence is a necessity, cannot be contested, even must be balanced, respected and maintained from all kinds of threats, obstacles and disturbances from other humans. Because human rights are basic human rights or basic rights that have been born as a gift from God Almighty, this right is very basic in nature and human life which is very natural, that is, it cannot escape from and in human life. As a legal state, in the elaboration of human rights, the Indonesian state refers to the Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. The Pancasila perspective and the 1945 Constitution on human rights must be carried out as a system which includes the movement of state life which is not only interdependent but also contribute to each other.
IMPLIKASI UNDANG-UNDANG ADMINISTRASI KEPENDUDUKAN TENTANG PENGHAYAT KEPERCAYAAN MENURUT PUTUSAN MK NO. 97/PUU-XIV/2016 (KOLOM AGAMA DI E-KTP)

Penghayat kepercayaan masih mengalami diskriminasi terkait Pencantuman kolom agama di E-KTP. Dalam hal administrasi  kependudukan, posisi sebagai penghayat kepercayaan, penganut agama leluhur dan pelaksanaan ritual adat membuat mereka dipersulit untuk mendapat dokumen-dokumen pribadi seperti kartu tanda penduduk (KTP) elektronik, kartu keluarga (KK), akte nikah, dan akte kelahiran. Berdasarkan pasal Undang-undang Administrasi Kependudukan yang menyatakan bahwa agama yang kolom agamanya di kartu keluarga (KK) maupun kartu tanda penduduk (KTP) elektronik bagi penganut kepercayaan tidak di isi. Secara fundamental hal ini disebabkan aliran kepercayaan belum diakui sebagaimana halnya agama-agama yang lain, sehingga dalam kartu tanda penduduk (KTP) elektronik tidak ada catatan bahwa seseorang adalah penghayat kepercayaan. Bahwa dengan demikian Undang-undang Administrasi Kependudukan secara faktual atau setidak-setidaknya pontesial merugikan hak-hak konstitusional. Di sisi yang lain, perlakuan diskriminasi dapat dilakukan siapa saja yang belum mempunyai kesadaran tentang hak asasi manusia. Kasus-kasus diskriminasi terhadap penganut agama tertentu, bahkan dilakukan birokrasi negara walaupun UUD 1945  telah  menjamin kebebasan  warga  negara  untuk  menganut  serta menjalankan agama dan kepercayaan masing-masing. Perlakuan diskriminasi juga dapat dilakukan oleh elit agama dan kelompok masyarakat tertentu.
PERCATURAN POLITIK BANI UMAIYAH DALAM MENDIRIKAN PEMERINTAHAN MONARKI

Persoalan yang pertama kali muncul di kalangan umat Islam awal sepeninggal Nabi Muhammad saw.  adalah persoalan politik, yaitu penentuan pengganti Nabi sebagai Kepala Negara dari Negara Madinah. Fenomena ini muncul  disebabkan karena Nabi semasa hidupnya tidak pernah meninggalkan wasiat yang bisa diterima oleh para sahabat  terkait masalah itu,  meskipun ada klaim dari pendukung Ali bin Abi Thalib bahwa Nabi telah memberikan wasiat mengenai masalah ini  yang kemudian dikenal dengan “peristiwa Gadir Qum”, namun hal itu masih diperdebatkan keabsahannya  oleh sebagian besar  sahabat. Di samping itu tidak terdapat petunujuk dari ayat-ayat al Qur’an terkait masalah tersebut, akibatnya timbullah perdebatan yang sengit dan  hampir saja menjadikan mereka terpecah belah, bahkan lebih fatal dari itu. Sebagian berpendapat menyatakan  bahwa pengganti Nabi itu harus dari suku Quraisy karena suku ini dipandang oleh masyarakat Arab waktu itu sebagai suku besar yang sangat mulia dan dihormati oleh suku-suku yang lain.  Pendapat kelompok inilah yang kemudian diterima oleh komunitas Muslim awal,  dengan dipilihnya Abu Bakar sebagai khalifah. Pendapat ini kemudian dianut oleh golongan Sunni. Sebagian lagi berpendapat bahwa yang berhak menggantikan Nabi sebagai Kepala Negara adalah salah satu keluarga sedarah yang terdekat dengan Nabi, dan Ali bin Abi Thalib dipandang orang yang paling tepat mewarisi kepemimpinan. Ali bin Abi Thalib, disamping sepupu Nabi, dia juga menantu Nabi, suami dari Fatimah,  pendapat ini kemudian dianut oleh golongan Syi’ah. Sebagian lagi berpendapat bahwa yang berhak sebagai pengganti Nabi adalah dari kalangan Anshar. Pada perkembangan selanjutnya, muncul pendapat bahwa pengganti Nabi  tidak mesti dari golongan Quraisy, apalagi keluarga Nabi, tetapi siapa saja dari ummat Islam, walaupun bukan berasal dari etnis Arab, ia bisa mengganti Nabi sebagai Kepala Negara. Pendapat ini pada mulanya dianut oleh golongan Khawarij, tetapi semenjak abad ke XIV dianut oleh golongan Sunni.
