A VISION-BASED SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FOR ACCIDENT DETECTION AND ANALYSIS VIA TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
Authors:   Asst Professor, Dept. Of CSE, Sambhram Institute of Technology, Bengaluru-560097, U Anuradha
Published: May 2024

This study aims to test the entire framework on an AI demo board and investigate the issue of automatically and effectively recognizing and analyzing traffic incidents captured by surveillance cameras. To begin, the motion interaction field (MIF) method, which is capable of detecting collisions in video, is used to locate damaged automobiles based on the interactions of various moving objects. Second, the location of the destroyed vehicles is determined using the YOLO v3 model. Using a hierarchical clustering method, the vehicle trajectories prior to the collision are recovered, and the related trajectories are reconstructed. Finally, a perspective transformation is used to project the trajectory into a vertical view to help traffic cops make better decisions. The unbiased finite impulse response (UFIR) method, which does not require statistical information about the external noise, is used to estimate the vehicle's velocity. The estimated velocity and impact angle from the vertical view can then be used to investigate the traffic accident. Finally, a Huawei AI demo board called HiKey970, which was used to code all of the aforementioned algorithms, is used in an experiment to show how useful and effective the proposed method is in practice. A few mishap observation recordings are sent onto the demo board. Mishaps are recognized and the proper vehicle directions are gathered.

Graves Disease - A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Phagoora Jaskomal , Sarthak Bakilwal  , Arshia Hamzehpour S  , Moshe Kabariti  , Jonathan Munarov  , Ha Young Cho  , Saini Sukhpreet
Published: May 2024

Graves Disease (GD) is an inflammatory disorder that often results in hyperthyroidism. GD is particularly prone to affecting women, African Americans, individuals with pre-existing autoimmune conditions, and first-degree relatives of those with GD. GD presents through a breakdown of immune tolerance against thyroid antigens. This occurs through a multifactorial autoimmune dysfunction of environmental and mainly genetic contribution. Hereditary predisposition accounts for 79% of the GD risk and increases susceptibility to dysfunction by environmental risk factors such as smoking, vitamin D deficiency, and stressful life events. GD is caused by a disruption of the thyroid gland on a molecular level. The disease is characterized by an overstimulation of the thyroid gland causing hyperthyroidism. This issue is caused by thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) synthesized by B cells. These immunoglobulins bind to the TSH receptors on the thyroid gland, activating it and producing an abundance of the thyroid hormones, levothyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The clinical presentation of GD encompasses a diverse array of signs and symptoms, from common manifestations such as palpitations, weight reduction, and exophthalmos, to less conventional presentations like cardiac complications and cholestatic hepatic injury. There are many methods of diagnosis that are used for GD including the gold standard, which tests for TSI and antibodies against the TSH receptor. Other methods include radioactive iodine uptake and CT scans that test for thyroid enlargement and are used to substitute radioactive iodine uptake tests for pregnant women. The three classical treatments for GD are antithyroid drugs, radioiodine treatment, and thyroidectomy. Additional treatments include corticosteroids which are used to decrease exophthalmos. Beta-adrenergic blockers are used for tachycardia, palpitations, and also blocking the peripheral conversion of T4 to T3. Immunotherapies, such as Mycophenolate mofetil and Azathioprine show promise as potential treatments are currently being investigated. This comprehensive review provides an up-to-date compact analysis of literature pertinent to the epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, genetics, pathophysiology, classifications, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatments of GD.
Nanomedical Microrods and Micelles For Ischemic Strokes
Authors: Yusupov Benjamin
Published: May 2024

Strokes are an acute brain disease that most often leads to disability and death. Ischemic strokes are the most common type of stroke and occur when there is a blood clot happening in an artery going towards the brain. Over 5 million people die from strokes worldwide, and another 5 million become permanently disabled. The current therapy used to break clots that lead to strokes is tissue plasminogen activator therapy. Even though this therapy does dissolve the clot, it isn’t very good at targeting the clot or breaking it up quickly to reestablish blood flow. There is now nanotechnology, which is still under study, that can facilitate as a carrier for tPA to reduce the number of deaths due to strokes by helping target the stroke site more effectively. However, after the clot has been lysed, the majority of people still run the risk of having chronic disabilities. These disabilities occur primarily due to reperfusion injury, which is defined as an injury that occurs after blood flow has been reestablished. There is no effective therapy that specifically targets reperfusion injury that is yet approved. However, there is nanotechnology that is able to target the injuries that reperfusion creates. This review will focus on different nanotechnologies that might have the potential to drastically reduce the number of deaths and disabilities that occur from strokes if they are approved and used in unison.
The emergence of variant families, as created unfinished families by adolescents -Focusing on youth “Gachulfam” movies of the 2010s-
Authors:   Education Research Institute, Son Ja Young
Published: May 2024

This study focuses on the films “Another's Melody(2014)”, “Dream Jane(2016)”, and “Park Hwa-young(2018)”, which are based on “Gachulfam” among independent youth films of the 2010s. The aim was to examine the aspects of reproduction and their meanings. Movies dealing with youth deviance continue to exist throughout this age. The meaning of runaway, which was understood as rebellion and beating, changed with the times, and “Gachulfam” became a precarious youth in the 2010s. In this situation, this study noted that the appearance of the “Gachulfam” made by adolescents from post-family families can be interpreted as a way of living and revealing their consciousness in the reality of crisis. First, the “home” as a fluid and open space created by the youth of the three “Gachulfam” films reveal the fear of isolation and causes relationship obsession. Second, the “Gachulfam” made by the youth is a kind of abnormal family that is not recognized in the existing society. However, owing to the irresponsible and incomplete appearance of adults, including parents, teenagers are gaining an upper hand in power relations and the positivity of family building. Third, these families are completed by re-calling the “dedicated mother”. However, the pursuit of motherhood, which appears in “Gachulfam”, stands at a different point from the existing maternal ideology that led to the establishment of patriarchal authority for the survival of the family. Therefore, it is meaningful because it has the possibility of an incomplete but new family.
Bodily Transformation and Classism in School Violence-themed Webtoons -Focusing on “Lookism” and “Survival Guide”-
Authors:   Education Research Institute, Ahn Sang-Won
Published: May 2024

This study examines the characteristics of “bodily transformation” depicted in webtoons themed around school violence, focusing on Park Tae-jun’s webtoon “Lookism” and the collaborative work “Survival Guide” by Park Tae-jun and Jeon Sun-woo. This theme involves powerless victims overturning their relationships with cruel perpetrators by obtaining supernatural bodies through chance encounters. However, despite this theme, the webtoons do not challenge the premise that the hierarchical order within the classroom is established and maintained by a group of class-conscious guardians who faithfully fulfill their roles. Characters do not share their miraculous achievements with others or attempt to change the injustices of their social world. Through these webtoons, the limitations of adolescent portrayals are observed, characterized by the absence of imagination regarding life outside school in the webtoons and the entrenchment of narrative grammar where violent problem solving, perpetrators becoming victims, and victims recovering all revolve around violence.

Heuristics for Equitable Technical Communication in Remote & Hybrid Game Development
Authors: Shivener Rich , Caravella Elizabeth , Renee Gittins Renee
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This article seeks to provide a set of heuristics for technical communication, addressing the newfound challenges to game developers as a result of the seemingly permanent shift to hybrid and remote work in this industry. In particular, this piece offers developers tangible
ways in which they can facilitate productive and equitable means of technical communications that account for the unique needs of this kind of work that now takes place in almost exclusively remote and hybrid working situations. Method: This piece relies on both survey and interview
data collected from nearly 300 members of the Independent Game Developers Association (IGDA) and at various games-based conferences (e.g., the Game Developers Conference) over a period of two years through a partnership grant between York University and the IGDA. Results: The results
noted two key findings: First, the majority of game developers do not want to or intend to ever return to a fully physical office setting. Second, the results indicate that the shift to remote work more often negatively impacted female and non-binary developers, most likely due to the additional
caregiving responsibilities traditionally emplaced on these groups. Conclusion: Technical communication is a central part of the game development process and has become even more pivotal as developers continue to operate under remote and hybrid working conditions. As such, the heuristics
developed from this data focus on addressing the needs of these groups so that the remote and hybrid workplaces can operate as equitably as possible in this new industry model.
Determining Levels of Prescriptivism in American English Usage Guides
Authors: Smith Jordan
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Prescriptivism–a concept concerned with “correctness in language use” (Tieken-Boon van Ostade, 2019, p. 8)–serves an important purpose when editors and other language professionals apply the findings from empirical linguistic studies to practical
communication tasks (Oaks, 2021). Usage guides catalog usage rules, but they treat these rules with varying levels of prescriptivism. Therefore, advice varies across usage guides. This study empirically investigates levels of prescriptivism observed in usage guides. Method: Using
a scale from 1 (minimally prescriptive) to 4 (maximally prescriptive), two raters coded the level of prescriptivism observed in entries for eight well-known usage problems (e.g., who/whom and lay/lie) from 11 current usage guides relating to American English. Based on the codes assigned
to these entries, an overall prescriptivism index was calculated for each usage problem and usage guide. Results: A range in levels of prescriptivism was observed. Overall, the treatment of usage problems skewed high on the prescriptivism scale with six of the eight being treated
as maximally prescriptive by at least two usage guides and six having mean indexes at or above the scale’s midpoint of 2.50. Similarly, seven of the 11 usage guides gave maximally prescriptive advice for at least one usage problem and eight had mean indexes at or above 2.50. While these
findings indicate a bias toward prescriptive advice, a noteworthy amount of prescription-breaking advice was also observed. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that usage guides vary considerably in their levels of prescriptivism; therefore, writers and editors must critically
consider which advice to follow.

Published: May 2024

India is the second most populous country in the world, and it has a lot of young people. These days, young people like riding bikes, but because it's cool, they don't wear helmets. Because of these things, there are more and more bike crashes every day, which kill people. Head accidents kill a lot of people, but you can avoid them by wearing a helmet. More and more people are getting caught driving while drunk, which leads to crashes and deaths because of carelessness. These events led us to create a smart helmet using the Internet of Things to lower the risk of accidents and deaths. The helmet has the following features: the bike will only start if the rider wears a helmet; if the rider is too drunk, the ignition will be turned off automatically; and if an accident happens, a GSM modem will send a message to the registered contact number using a SIM card.

Expected yield and expected price of paddy were determining factors of bajra hectareage.
Calibration Estimation of Population Total in Two-Stage Sampling Design under unavailability of Population Level Auxiliary Information for the selected PSUs
Authors: Basak Pradip , Aditya Kaustav , Singh Deepak
Published: May 2024

Calibration approach is a popular technique in sample surveys which incorporates auxiliary information in the estimation process assuming that population aggregates of auxiliary variable are available. Many often under two-stage sampling design, such population aggregates of auxiliary variable, i.e., population mean or total are unavailable and under such situations, estimation of population total has been limited to the use of two phase sampling. Therefore, in the present study, efficient estimator of population total is developed under two-stage sampling design when population aggregates of auxiliary variable are unavailable for the selected psu’s. The calibrated estimator is developed using the information on known population aggregates of additional auxiliary variable which is less linearly related to the study variable through two step calibration approach. The approximate variance and variance estimator of the proposed calibrated estimator has also been developed. Empirical evaluations using both real and simulated data shows the superior performance of the developed calibrated estimator in comparison to the existing estimators.

Rice, a crucial global staple, is integral to food security. Precise identification of paddy growth stages, booting, heading, anthesis, grain filling, and grain maturity is vital for agricultural decisions. However, a gap exists in recognizing these stages using red-green-blue (RGB) images. This study uses state-of-the-art computer vision and deep learning classification (Convolutional Neural Networks) algorithms to address this gap. Among the studied algorithms, EfficientNet_B0 achieved an impressive 82.8% overall accuracy. Notably, increasing image size from 64X64 pixels to 128X128 pixels significantly enhanced accuracy. A detailed assessment of growth stages revealed varying accuracy levels, with boot leaf being the most accurately detected (95.1%) and anthesis being the most challenging (72.28%). This work significantly advances automated monitoring, empowering researchers in real-time decision-making.

Оценить функциональные результаты оссикулопластики при хроническом среднем отите при ХГСО путем изучения клинических и аудиологических показателей после проведения хирургического лечения. Данные тональной аудиограммы после одномоментной и двухэтапной тимпанопластики у пациентов с ХГСО показывают, что одномоментная оссикулопластика при ХГСО высокоэффективна, а ее функциональные результаты по слуху сопоставимы с результатами двухэтапной оссикулопластики по аудиологическим данным. Функциональные результаты PORP были значительно выше, чем у TORP в нашем исследовании. Эти результаты подразумевают, что TORP выполняется при тяжелых состояниях среднего уха, таких как эрозия суперструктуры стремени.

Ung thư da là tình trạng ung thư phát triển từ các tế bào tại da (phân biệt với các khối ung thư ác tính di căn ở da). Ung thư da có nhiều loại và được phân loại thành hai nhóm chính là ung thư da hắc tố và ung thư da không hắc tố. Trong đó, ở nhóm ung thư da không hắc tố, ung thư biểu mô tế bào đáy và ung thư biểu mô tế bào vảy là thường gặp nhất, tiếp đến là các loại ung thư da ít gặp khác như ung thư tế bào Merkel, ung thư tuyến mồ hôi, bệnh Paget ngoài vú.
Expansion of the Etihad Stadium, Manchester. Part 1: Design
Authors: McCormick Fergus , Pottinger Andy
Published: May 2024

The Etihad Stadium is the home of Manchester City Football Club. During the 2014/15 football season, the club expanded the ground by 6000 seats, also adding new hospitality spaces, improving access and covering the expansion with a new roof. The work was completed in just 16 months, without a single minute of interruption to play. The new South Stand was opened on 16 August 2015 at the first home match of the season, in front of a record crowd of 54 331. This paper describes the structural engineering design for the South Stand expansion, which was led by BuroHappold Engineering. The main structural engineering challenges centred on the development of a new design allowing alterations to an existing clad cable-net roof. Constraints imposed by the existing structure included its complex geometry, complex roof typology, existing underground structures and site constraints. These design challenges were further complicated by a request from the club to provide continued rain protection over the existing stand throughout the season, coupled with the overall demands of a fast programme. Part 2 of this article, to be published in December, will describe the construction activities, which were led by Laing O’Rourke and Severfield Watson.

ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is to explore the behavioral factors that impinge usage of rural library services among youth in Malaysia. This study employed a quantitative method, and a via multi-stage simple random sampling, a total of 400 rural library users among youth from four states in Peninsular Malaysia namely Kedah, Terengganu, Perak and Johor were chosen as the respondents. The data gained denote that all of the behavioral factors considered, namely perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude and social environment have positive and significant relationships with rural library usage among youths. It is highly recommended that the services offered in the rural library are in line with the youth needs and interests. This recommendation should be included in any rural library development plan as it will assist the concerned parties in constructing the best strategies by which to attract more people, particularly the younger generation, to use the services offered to them in rural libraries.

ABSTRAK Statistik bancian penduduk 2010 yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia memaparkan kumpulan remaja sekitar umur 15 hingga 24 tahun merupakan kumpulan terbesar di Malaysia. Kumpulan tersebut bukan sahaja menjadi modal insan negara, malah mereka adalah teras pembangunan negara dan tunjang bangsa pada masa hadapan. Keadaan ini menjadi pemangkin betapa pentingnya golongan remaja ini dibangunkan secara holistik dari segenap aspek jasmani mahupun rohani. Tambahan pula, dalam arus perkembangan negara yang amat pesat membangun dan fenomena dunia tanpa sempadan kini, golongan remaja terpaksa berdepan dengan pelbagai cabaran domestik dan pada masa yang sama turut terdedah kepada ancaman global. Malah apa yang lebih membimbangkan lagi ialah kumpulan remaja kini banyak terdedah kepada pelbagai masalah berkaitan dengan gejala sosial dan aktiviti yang tidak bermoral. Sehubungan dengan itu, tumpuan, pengembangan dan pembangunan kumpulan ini adalah amat penting bagi menjamin kesinambungan kelestarian negara pada masa hadapan. Pihak kerajaan yang menyedari perkara ini telah mengenal pasti keperluan untuk membangunkan potensi golongan remaja telah merangka dan melaksanakan pelbagai bentuk polisi dan program dengan matlamat untuk melibatkan golongan remaja dalam pembangunan negara. Antaranya, pelaksanaan Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) dilihat sebagai satu mekanisme untuk menangani permasalahan remaja, memantapkan jati diri mereka dan seterusnya mengikat kesetiaan remaja kepada negara. Kumpulan remaja yang menjalani latihan PLKN seharusnya mampu mendepani apa jua cabaran mendatang dengan minda yang lebih terbuka, sikap yang profesional dan tindakan yang rasional. Sejauh manakah PLKN mampu mendidik dan membina jati diri golongan remaja menjadi tanda-tanya pelbagai pihak. Oleh itu, bagi mendapatkan kepastian kepada persoalan tersebut, satu kajian telah dilaksanakan ke atas alumni PLKN. Kajian telah mengambil sampel dari kalangan mahasiswa Universiti Putra Malaysia yang telah menyertai Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) dan sebagai perbandingan, kajian juga telah mengambil sampel remaja yang tidak menyertai PLKN. Satu elemeßn penting yang telah diberikan perhatian dalam menilai dan mengukur keberkesanan PLKN adalah dari segi pendidikan sivik. Ini kerana, dari perspektif umum PLKN itu dilihat sebagai sebahagian daripada pendekatan pendidikan sivik. Atau dengan kata lain, adakah PLKN itu adalah satu program pendidikan sivik? Oleh yang demikian, sejauh manakah elemen pendidikan sivik telah dipupuk dan diterapkan dalam diri remaja melalui PLKN akan cuba dirungkaikan dalam artikel ini.

ABSTRACT Current high levels of individual indebtedness and increasing focus on individual responsibility for financial planning shows that there is a growing need for better financial capability particularly among the young adults. The purpose of this study is to identify the levels of financial literacy, financial capability and financial problems of young employees for both public and private sector in Malaysia and to determine the relationships between financial literacy, financial problems, and money attitude with financial capability among the young employees. The sample size was comprised of 446 young employees age 40 and below drawn from the central zone of Malaysia, selected through a multi stage sampling technique. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires. Results of the study showed that the respondents consisted of 163 males (36.5%) and 283 females (63.5%) with mean age of 32 years old. Most of the respondents represented middle income group (earning monthly income between RM 1,500 to RM 3,000) and had secondary education level. Only 15.3% of the respondents had high level of financial literacy and 69.2% of them had moderate level of financial capability. Results of Pearson Correlation indicated that there were significant relationships between financial literacy (r= .120*, p≤ 0.05), financial problems (r= -.187**, p≤ 0.01), money attitude (r= .251**, p≤ 0.01) with financial capability. The multiple regression results showed that there was no influence of demographic characteristics (household income, education level, and marital status) toward financial capability of young employees. However, financial problems and money attitude had significant influence toward financial capability whereby the money attitude become a major contributing factor to the financial capability (r2 =.105, p=.000). By understanding more about the factors hindering and promoting the financial capability, it is hoped to help young employees to become financial prudence and in the long run could decrease the number of young employees declared bankruptcy.
