Authors: Verma Shradha , GOEL Tripti , Tanveer M. , Murugan R.
Published: October 2023

Background:Phase images of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have applications in many fields, including the medical domain. It is often employed to identify biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others. However, directly extracted phase images from MRI exhibit the wrapped phase values within the ±π radian range.Methods:To circumvent these phase jumps or discontinuity, phase unwrapping is required. Path-following and minimum norms algorithms are unwrapping methods to retrieve the original unwrapped phase image. The path-following algorithm extracts the original phase value by considering the adjacent pixels along the integral path. In contrast, the minimum norms algorithm aims to minimize the difference between the partial derivatives of the wrapped and the unwrapped phase data. This paper presents the DCT-based modified minimum norm-based weighted least square (LS) phase unwrapping to improve the visibility and noise immunity of the phase images. The proposed algorithm eradicates residual noise by imposing spectral truncation of the low-frequency coefficient.Results and Conclusions:For the experimental validation of the proposed algorithm, the wrapped and unwrapped image phase profiles are demonstrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed phase unwrapping algorithm. In addition, the performance metrics, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index metric (SSIM), and root mean squared error (RMSE) are calculated to show the comparison of the proposed phase unwrapping algorithm with the state-of-the-art techniques.
Exploring How Three Psychological Factors: Attitude, Interest and Readiness has Affected Students’ Performance in Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Examination in Mathematics
Authors: Lewis Mark A.
Published: October 2023

Academic performance of students is usually dependent on the individual intellectual and cognitive ability. However, several students face issues with leaning performance, mainly in mathematics. This study examines the effects of three psychological variables—readiness, interest, and attitude—on students' performance on the mathematics portion of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Exam. These elements need to be carefully considered because they have a big impact on how well pupils succeed in school. The complex characteristic of attitude, which is impacted by both heredity and experiences, shapes students' attitudes towards mathematics. Interest, which is described as a genuine love of the subject, influences learning outcomes through influencing students' engagement, motivation, and readiness, which comprises preparedness and personal qualities, affects students' ability to comprehend and apply mathematical concepts. The research proposes a conceptual framework that explains how these psychological factors impact performance on the CSEC Mathematics Examination. On the other side, enthusiastic attitudes and interest promote a supportive learning environment. Furthermore, traits like mentality and self-discipline affect pupils' preparation. The attitudes, interests, and readiness of students are also influenced by the teachers' methods of instruction, the dynamics in the classroom, and the subjects covered in the lessons. In conclusion, psychological factors have a big impact on how well students do on the CSEC Mathematics Exam. Teachers and governments can improve students' learning experiences and outcomes in mathematics education by recognizing the interplay of attitudes, interest, and preparation. Keywords: Attitude, Interest, Readiness.
Lozan Barış Konferansı’nda Azınlıklar (Ekalliyetler) Meselesine Yönelik Görüşmelerde Kürt Sorunu
Authors: UÇAR Fuat
Published: October 2023

Lozan Barış Konferansı, Türkler tarafından Millî Mücadele’nin başarı ile sonuçlandırılmasından sonra Müttefiklerin, 27 Ekim 1922 tarihli notasıyla Ankara ile İstanbul hükûmetlerini görüşmelere davet etmesiyle gündeme geldi. TBMM Hükûmeti 1 Kasım 1922’de saltanatı kaldırmak suretiyle konferansa Türk milleti adına tek başına katıldı. I. Dünya Savaşı’nın sonunda kurulacak yenidünya düzeninde azınlıklar konusu da önemli bir yere sahipti. Lozan Barış Konferansı’nda birçok konunun yanında azınlıklar (ekalliyetler) meselesi de gündeme geldi. Görüşmelerde Kürtlerle ilgili ayrı bir gündem maddesi açılmadı ve “Kürdistan” sözü de tartışma konusu edilmedi. Bu şekilde Kürt meselesi azınlıklar meselesi kapsamında dolaylı bir şekilde müzakere edilmiş oldu. Konferansta özellikle İngiltere, azınlık kavramının soy, dil, din azınlıkları olarak genişletilmesini gündeme getirdi. Türk heyeti ise azınlık kavramının tanımını İslam hukukuna göre yaparak Kürtlerin ülkede azınlık olmadığını, asli unsur olduklarını savunarak Misak-ı Millî sınırları içinde Müslüman azınlık kavramına şiddetle karşı çıktı. Türk heyeti, müzakerelerde Türkler ile Kürtlerin ayrılmaz bir bütün olduğunu ısrarla vurguladı. Azınlığın tanımında; soy, dil, din ölçütlerinin yerine Müslüman olup olmama ölçütünün dikkate alınmasını önerdi. Türkiye’nin talebi doğrultusunda gayrimüslimlerin azınlık sayılmasına ve ölçütün dinsel esasa göre belirlenmesi görüşü kabul edildi. Müzakerelerde azınlıklarla ilgili maddelerin Türk görüşüne yakın ele alınması sonucunda sadece Müslüman olmayanlar azınlık sayıldı. Lozan Barış Konferansı’nda Türk heyetinin önerisinin kabul edilmesi, İngilizlerin Kürtlerle ilgili politikalarının net bir şekilde Türkler lehine değiştiği bir gelişme oldu. Böylece Kürt meselesi, Lozan Barış Konferansı’nda azınlıklar kapsamında ele alınışı bakımından uzun bir süre uluslararası bir mesele olmaktan ziyade Türkiye, Suriye, Irak ve İran’ın bir iç meselesi hâline dönüştü.
Research on tool condition monitoring (TCM) using a novel unsupervised deep neural network (DNN)
Authors: Gao Jingjing , Liu Jing , Yu Xinli
Published: October 2023

In order to improve the recognition precision and accuracy of tool wear monitoring, an unsupervised deep neural network (DNN) based on stack denoising autoencoder (SDA) is proposed. After feature extraction and selection, the stack denoising automatic coding network reduces the dimensionality of the feature vector. On this basis, principal component analysis (PCA) and T-distributed random neighbor embedding (t-SNE) are used to reduce the dimensionality of the features twice, and finally a simple two-dimensional feature matrix is obtained. Finally, the deep neural network model of SDA is established by adding SoftMax regression layer, and the tool wear monitoring results are taken as new labeled data, and the deep neural network parameters are fine-tuned by secondary backpropagation. The experimental results show that the proposed method can learn adaptively and obtain effective feature expression, and the tool wear state recognition results are highly accurate. The proposed method can effectively identify the tool wear state.
Mapping and analyzing temporal variability of spectral indices in the lowland region of Far Western Nepal
Authors: Awasthi Mahesh Prasad
Published: October 2023

Satellite imagery-based spectral indices are essential for monitoring natural resource changes and urban environments. Assessing these indices is vital for natural resource management and environmental sustainability. This study adopted geospatial techniques and satellite imagery (Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS) to analyze changes in key spectral indices, i.e. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI), and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) over the past three decades (1991–2022) in the low land region of Far Western Nepal. The study examined the temporal trends and intricate relationships between these indices during this time frame. The substantial changes in NDVI, NDBI, and NDWI within the study area have been quantified from 1991 to 2022. The findings revealed significantly elevated NDBI values in 1991, 2001, and 2013 compared to 2022, while NDWI and NDVI values were consistently lower in 1991,2001, and 2013 compared to 2022. Notably, a negative correlation was observed between NDVI and both NDBI and NDWI, contrasting with the positive correlation found between NDBI and NDWI. The study underscores the potential of combining these spectral indices to evaluate vegetated areas, built-up areas, and water bodies, providing valuable insights for effective land management, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and sustainable water resource management.

Published: October 2023

Background:

The study's objective was to ascertain the knowledge and practices of dental students in their final year, interns, and general practitioners regarding the protocols and principles of shade choosing.

Methods:

Structured questionnaires that were assigned to participants at random were used to gather data. The study was made available online through dental frame groups on WhatsApp and social media sites like Twitter. 102 dentists were conveniently chosen as a sample, encompassing dental students, interns, and general practitioners in their final year of study. The outcomes were examined using the Chi-square test.

Results:

The analysis shows that there was no influence of gender on shade choosing. There were no statistically significant (p > 0.05) differences between the educational level with the exception of a visual method for shade selection, the time required to determine the shade, define the shade by natural light or unite light, circumferential factors, and lipstick & clothes affect the shade selection (p < 0.05) difference among variables were recorded. For the experience level, when determining the shade, the time required to determine the shade plays a significant role in shade selection. Circumferential factors and lipstick and clothes affect the shade selection (p < 0.05) differences among variables were found.

Conclusions:

Compared to dental students and interns, general dentists had a greater understanding of and familiarity with the fundamentals of selecting tooth color. Hence, we must make improvements to meet the justifiably high standards of care that our patients have come to expect from us.

Published: October 2023

Aims:

Experiments were conducted to study the effect of using a perforated sill on maximum scour depth downstream from a sluice gate.

Background:

Previous studies have shown that screens may be utilized efficiently for dissipating the energy of water downstream of a hydraulic structure.

Objective:

For the present study, a series of experiments was conducted to investigate the effect of using a perforated screen sill on the maximum scour depth downstream of a hydraulic structure.

Methods:

In the present study, a single perforated sill with varying porosity (10.3%, 18.3%, 28.5%, and 41.1%) and an inclination angle of 90° were used. Perforated sill with different shapes of holes (circular, rectangular, and square holes) was used during the study. The major parameters for the present study are the porosity of the perforated sill, different shapes of holes, downstream water depth, and the Gate Froude number (FG) for a range covering from 2.15 to 4.7. The gate opening simulating a hydraulic structure is adjusted at heights of 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm during the experiments work.

Result:

The results revealed that an increase in the sill porosity (Ao/As) increases the screen effect to reduce the max scour depth. In addition, the results showed that the sill with square holes is better than the sill with circular and rectangular holes in reducing the maximum scour depth.

Conclusion:

The perforated sill with a square porosity of 41.1% reduces the maximum scour depth downstream of a sluice gate by 60%.

Authors: Altan Seda Tuğçe , Özdemir Muhlis , Ebegil Meral
Published: October 2023

Credibility theory, which is used to determine the premium in the non-life branches of insurance, is a calculation method which is used for making weighted estimation of balanced allocation between past and recent period data. The procedure of weighting is done with the Z credibility factor. There are miscellaneous methods which are named as credibility models to determine Z value. One of these models is Crossed Classification Credibility Model, which is introduced by Dannenburg (1995). In this model, an insurance portfolio is subdivided by two qualitative risk factors, modeled in symmetrical way. Especially, this model offers an alternative method when data are unclassifiable hierarchically. Simultaneously, this model considers the joint and separates the effects of risk factors. To predict the premiums in this model, variance components are obtained by solving the linear equation system must be calculated. However, this system cannot be solved explicitly. Also, too many parameters must be calculated for the premium estimation. Here, calculation errors can occur, and it is very difficult to find the correct results. Moreover, there is no tool that can easily perform these operations on a computer. In this study, the R package cccm has been developed to calculate the structural parameters easily, quickly, and accurately for Crossed Classification Credibility Model. Package cccm explained step by step for the users interested in to solve Crossed Classification Credibility problems.

Optimisation of Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Artocarpus integer Peel Pectin with Choline Chloride based Deep Eutectic Solvent
Authors: Yusof Rizana
Published: October 2023

Extraction of pectin from natural resources using a biodegradable solvent is an alternative to wasteful and corrosive acidic extraction. Traditionally, attempts to extract pectin from biomass have resulted in low yields and a large consumption of corrosive solvents. Therefore, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) with deep eutectic solvents (DES) of choline chloride and malonic acid (ChCl:MA) at a mole ratio of 1:2 was used in this study. The objective of this study was to extract pectin from Artocarpus integer peels (AIP) and to optimise the extraction conditions in terms of the percentage of DES, solid-to-liquid ratio of AIP to DES, microwave power, and extraction time. The results showed that the pectin yield increased as the percentage of DES, solid-to-liquid ratio, power, and time increased. The extraction of pectin up to 30.17 % with MAE was optimised at a 1:50 ratio, 50 W, 4 min, and 5 % DES. These results indicate that the proposed MAE-DES technique is excellent for extracting pectin with high yield from AIP.
New closed form solutions of some nonlinear pseudo-parabolic models via a new extended direct algebraic method
Authors: Hussain Akhtar , Ali Hassan , Zaman Fiazuddin , Abbas Naseem
Published: October 2023

Our investigation delves into a specific category of nonlinear pseudo-parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) that emerges from physical models. This set of equations includes the one-dimensional (1D) Oskolkov equation, the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Peregrine-Burgers (BBMPB) equation, the generalized hyperelastic rod wave (HERW) equation, and the Oskolkov Benjamin Bona Mahony Burgers (OBBMB) equation. We employ the new extended direct algebraic (NEDA) method to tackle these equations. The NEDA method serves as a powerful tool for our analysis, enabling us to obtain solutions grounded in various mathematical functions, such as hyperbolic, trigonometric, rational, exponential, and polynomial functions. As we delve into the physical implications of these solutions, we uncover complex structures with well-known characteristics. These include entities like dark, bright, singular, combined dark-bright solitons, dark-singular-combined solitons, solitary wave solutions, and others.

Authors: Wang Ximeng , Chen Jiande DZ
Published: October 2023

Background

The aim of this systemtic review is to introduce clinical applications (especially emerging) and potential mechanisms of sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) for treating various gastrointestinal diseases.

Materials and Methods

PubMed and Web of Science were searched for studies published on SNS and its clinical applications in fecal incontinence (limited to systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies), constipation (limited to reviews and randomized control clinical studies), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and upper gastrointestinal motility disorders. The relevant studies were pooled, and their findings were summarized and discussed.

Results

SNS is an approved method for treating fecal incontinence. Systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated high efficacy of the SNS therapy for fecal incontinence. Increased anal sphincter pressure and improvement in rectal sensation were reported as major mechanisms involved in the SNS therapy. SNS has also been proposed for treating constipation, but the therapy has been shown ineffective. There is a lack in SNS methodological optimization and mechanistic research. A few basic and clinical studies have reported the potential of SNS for treating visceral pain in IBS. SNS seemed capable of improving mucosal barrier functions. Several case reports are available in the literature on the treatment of IBD with SNS. Several laboratory studies suggested therapeutic potential of a special method of SNS for IBD. Cholinergic anti-inflammatory mechanisms were reported. Due to a recently reported spinal afferent and vagal efferent pathway of SNS, a few preclinical studies reported the potential of SNS for upper gastrointestinal motility disorders. However, no clinical studies have been performed.

Conclusions

SNS for fecal incontinence is a well-established clinical therapy. However, the current method of SNS is ineffective for treating constipation. Further methodological development and randomized clinical trials are needed to explore potential applications of SNS for IBS and IBD.

Objective

Echocardiography (ECG) is the most common method used to diagnose heart failure (HF). However, its accuracy relies on the experience of the operator. Additionally, the video format of the data makes it challenging for patients to bring them to referrals and reexaminations. Therefore, this study used a deep learning approach to assist physicians in assessing cardiac function to promote the standardization of echocardiographic findings and compatibility of dynamic and static ultrasound data.

Methods

A deep spatio-temporal convolutional model r2plus1d-Pan (trained on dynamic data and applied to static data) was improved and trained using the idea of “regression training combined with classification application,” which can be generalized to dynamic ECG and static cardiac ultrasound views to identify HF with a reduced ejection fraction (EF < 40%). Additionally, three independent datasets containing 8976 cardiac ultrasound views and 10085 cardiac ultrasound videos were established. Subsequently, a multinational, multi-center dataset of EF was labeled. Furthermore, model training and independent validation were performed. Finally, 15 registered ultrasonographers and cardiologists with different working years in three regional hospitals specialized in cardiovascular disease were recruited to compare the results.

Results

The proposed deep spatio-temporal convolutional model achieved an area under the receiveroperating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.95 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.947 to 0.953) on the training set of dynamic ultrasound data and an AUC of 1 (95% CI, 1 to 1) on the independent validation set. Subsequently, the model was applied to the static cardiac ultrasound view (validation set) with simultaneous input of 1, 2, 4, and 8 images of the same heart, with classification accuracies of 85%, 81%, 93%, and 92%, respectively. On the static data, the classification accuracy of the artificial intelligence (AI) model was comparable with the best performance of ultrasonographers and cardiologists with more than 3 working years (P = 0.344), but significantly better than the median level (P= 0.0000008).

Conclusion

A new deep spatio-temporal convolution model was constructed to identify patients with HF with reduced EF accurately (< 40%) using dynamic and static cardiac ultrasound images. The model outperformed the diagnostic performance of most senior specialists. This may be the first HF-related AI diagnostic model compatible with multi-dimensional cardiac ultrasound data, and may thereby contribute to the improvement of HF diagnosis. Additionally, the model enables patients to carry “on-the-go” static ultrasound reports for referral and reexamination, thus saving healthcare resources.

Batik, a cultural artifact full of philosophical values, is now seen as just a part of fashion style and a sweetening element. Many people, especially children, do not understand the symbolic meanings of the aesthetic elements of batik. This problem is commonplace in Indonesia, including Cirebon. As batik centers, only a few schools in Cirebon provide opportunities for their students to learn batik. If the meaning of batik is to be taught to the younger generation, then an approach using new media can be an alternative to introduce it persuasively. One medium that is close and has the potential to introduce batik to children is 2D animation. The research method that will be used is qualitative. The animation process starts with several stages, from collecting data about the batik we want to make into a story theme: Batik Sawat Pengantin Cirebon. Data collection was done by direct observation and interviews. After the data is collected, the next step is to search for story ideas, create scenarios, design visual concepts, and create storyboards. Then, the animation production process can be carried out. This research will focus on the storyboard design part, namely the clean-up storyboard and animatic storyboard, which will guide in making 2D animation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of user loyalty in social media banking on innovation engagement, functional engagement, emotional engagement, and communal engagement. With a sample of 223 banking customers who actively use social media in Indonesia, this study used survey and purposive sampling methods. Data was collected using a Google Form online questionnaire. SEM-PLS is used to process the collected data. This study tested the hypothesis that user loyalty is affected by innovation engagement, functional engagement, and emotional engagement. User loyalty is unaffected by communal engagement. As far as is known, this study is still not much research with social media objects in the banking industry compared to previous studies. The findings of this study are expected to assist Indonesian banks in determining the best strategy for increasing social media engagement in order to increase customer loyalty.

SYNTHESIS OF MAGNETITE-MODIFIED NATURAL ZEOLITE USING COPRECIPITATION AND PHYSICAL MIXING TECHNIQUES
Authors: Pambudi Teguh , Umam Hilman Imadul
Published: October 2023

The synthesis of magnetite-modified natural zeolite has been carried out using two techniques, namely coprecipitation and physical mixing. The characteristics (crystallinity, pore characteristics, and recovery capabilities) of the resulting composites are compared. In addition, the effect of the Fe3O4 fraction (25.0% w/w, 33.3% w/w, and 50.0% w/w) on the composite characteristics was also evaluated. The results showed that the natural zeolite/Fe3O4 prepared using the coprecipitation technique showed better distribution of Fe3O4 than the physical mixing technique. It was observed that the natural zeolite's XRD peak intensity decreased as the Fe3O4 content increased. In accordance with the N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, the pore spaces of the natural zeolite have been found to be filled by suspended Fe3O4 particles. Therefore, both natural zeolite/Fe3O4 prepared by coprecipitation and physical mixing had smaller pore diameters than washed natural zeolite. Then, in terms of recovery ability, natural zeolite/Fe3O4 prepared using the coprecipitation technique has greater recovery ability than natural zeolite/Fe3O4 prepared by physical mixing, with an increase in the Fe3O4 percentage typically enhancing the composite's recovery ability.

Active packaging can actively change the condition of the packaged food by optimizing
its ability to maintain the product. Edible film is easily digested and has zero waste.
Gelatin can form a flexible and strong film. The high amino acids in gelatin can increase
its ability to form a gel. Tilapia skin (Oreochromis niloticus) contains high protein. It is a
suitable material to be developed into edible films and active packaging by adding lemon
basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L.) as antioxidants and antimicrobials. This study aimed
to determine the effect of various concentrations of basil leaf extract on the physical,
mechanical, chemical, and antibacterial properties of the gelatin-based edible film of
tilapia skin. The treatment used different concentrations of lemon basil leaf extract; 0.2%,
0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8%. The tests include thickness, solubility, tensile strength and
elongation, moisture content, water vapor permeability (WVP), antibacterial activity, and
antioxidant activity. The results showed that adding lemon basil leaf extract significantly
affects the value of solubility, tensile strength, elongation, moisture content, antibacterial
activity, and antioxidant activity but was not significantly different on the thickness and
WVP parameters.

Published: October 2023

Abstract: Worship is one of the obligations that must be carried out by everyone. Even though everyone has different beliefs in choosing each religion and carrying out all their worship. In carrying out the prayer also has demands and also obligations and conditions so that prayer becomes valid and can also be accepted by Allah SWT. As for the things that must be done during prayer and when things that cancel the prayer are done, the prayer is considered invalid. This writing method was compiled using data and information collection methods by tracing relevant literature review sources by searching for reliable reference sources through electronic media and also the internet.(Sari, 2019). As for the arguments that will govern prayer services and also the wisdom of praying, one of them is to purify oneself from sin. So that prayer must always be carried out because it is mandatory and will be the first practice that will be reckoned on on the last day.
