The modification of crab traps using biodegradable cotton rope, particularly on panel ropes and trap mouth ropes, aims to reduce the impact of ghost fishing. While the characteristics of cotton rope have been tested in the laboratory, they have not been directly tested in field fishing operations. This research aims to analyze cotton ropes' technical use and damage levels, compare crab catches in control and modified traps, and provide recommendations for fishermen to use modified traps. Experimental fishing involved operating 500 units of modified traps with cotton ropes and 500 units of control traps used by fishermen. The trap operations were conducted over 30 trips in Gebang Mekar, Cirebon Regency, and West Java, Indonesia. The results indicate that the modified and control traps use the same operating techniques and damage levels. The crab catches in the modified traps reached 1101 individuals with a total weight of 130.9 kg, not significantly different from the control traps, which reached 1110 individuals with a total weight of 129.8 kg (p > 0.05, T-test). Based on technical use, damage levels, and catch results, fishermen can use modified traps made from cotton rope as an effective alternative to prevent ghost fishing in crab trap fisheries.

The modeling and prediction field bosses a variety of practical applications, deep learning is a powerful tool used in this field. It has been proved that deep learning is a useful technique for extracting extremely accurate predictions from complex data sources, and also Recursive neural networks have demonstrated their usefulness in language translation and caption production, but convolutional neural networks remain the dominant solution for image classification tasks. In addition, deep learning, also known as deep neural networks, involves training models with multiple layers of interconnected artificial neurons. The primary idea of deep learning is to learn data representations through raising levels of abstraction. These strategies are effective, but they don't explain how the result is produced. Without knowing how a solution is arrived at using deep learning. In the field of artificial intelligence, deep learning and fuzzy logic are two powerful techniques. In addition, fuzzy logic combines deep learning will help deep learning select the desired features and work without supervision, this will make it possible to develop reliable systems with rich DL information even in the absence of hand-labeled data. Fuzzy logic that interpreted these features will subsequently provide explanations for the system's choice of classification label. This survey highlights the various applications which use fuzzy logic to improve deep learning.

Published: June 2024

Nowadays, energy consumption management techniques in the residential side have gained significant importance due to their considerable influence on the control of power flow in distribution networks and especially the possibility of managing a huge part of domestic electrical demand during peak-load hours. Since the customer’s data are recorded in an aggregated form, therefore, in order to apply control approaches, it is necessary to use load pattern evaluation techniques (load signature). These methods capable to decomposition effective features that help control approaches to implement with more accuracy. In this article, features of residential loads have been extracted by using the signature of the aggregated consumer’s demand. Then these features have been evaluated by methods such as logistic regression, k-nearest neighborhood, and decision tree. By assessing the results, it was determined that among the extracted features, the first two features (consumed power and injected harmonics) covered more than 89% of the variance of the entire set, and with the help of using the principal component analysis method, it was determined that by reducing the number of features to 2, a considerable amount of computation is reduced and only about 4% of the accuracy is reduced. Also, the convolutional neural network approach was used to estimate the type of load, and by identifying controllable loads and applying remote home energy management methods, it was found that by increasing participation up to 80%, more than 41% of peak-load consumption could be shifted to off-peak hours.

Published: June 2024

This study analyses the current status of home ownership among young Malaysians and assesses the effectiveness of the scheme in improving housing affordability among young Malaysians. The study examines the target population, income profile, and loan interest rates to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of home ownership among young Malaysians. The findings show that housing market conditions, especially among the B40 income group, have been deteriorating since 2016, with house prices growing faster than income growth. This has significantly reduced housing affordability, making it difficult for many to realize their dream of home ownership. The continued growth in money supply and volatility in the overnight policy rate have further exacerbated affordability. Although the MFHS has provided substantial support by offering loans with no down payment of up to 110%, rising house prices and interest rates have undermined its effectiveness. Policy recommendations include adopting a long-term housing policy framework that takes into account demographic and economic trends, establishing a strong monitoring and evaluation mechanism, and adopting flexible loan terms. It is also recommended to work with private sector stakeholders to improve housing accessibility and affordability through innovative financing solutions and increasing the supply of affordable housing.

Academic motivation has long been hailed as driver for improved academic engagement leading to improved academic achievement. This is the very premise of this study that a low-performing group of learners will be motivated to work harder for improved academic performance. The study started with the utilization of developed guided-inquiry virtual laboratory activities that were delivered as part of the lesson in a gamified context. The study utilized three heterogeneous grade 10 sections of a private school in Misamis Occidental. One section is generally a better-performing section and was made the control section, while the remaining two low-performing sections were taken as the experimental sections. The whole gamification activity involves four leader board displays where the first leader board showed equal initial performance for all learners. Results showed that the low-performing classes performed with very little difference with high performing control group. The normalized gain for all sections were all medium gain. The study points to the efficacy of a gamified classroom utilizing virtual activities in improving academic performance as indicated in the results of the normalized gain.

Background. The last systematic studies of ichthyoplankton in the coastal waters of Southeastern Crimea were carried out 30 years ago. However, despite the high importance of this aquatic area for fish reproduction, the current data on it remain extremely scarce. Relevance. Monitoring surveys of ichthyoplankton carried out by the Karadag Biological Station make it possible to analyze the current state of ichthyoplankton complexes and predict the success of recruitment to the natural fish populations. The aim of this article is to analyze the data obtained during monitoring studies of ichthyoplankton in the coastal waters of Southeastern Crimea during the summer spawning season of 2023. Methods. Ichthyoplankton samples were collected in May–September 2023 in the coastal waters along the south- eastern part of the Crimean Peninsula over a depth of 3 to 20 m. Fifteen expeditions were carried out in the aquatic area of the Karadag Nature Reserve, in Tikhaya (Quiet) Bay and Lisya (Fox) Bay. Results. Eggs and larvae of 30 fish species belonging to 20 families have been identified. The average number of eggs was 145.9 pcs./100 m3, and for larvae it was 15.1 ind./100 m3. Species similarity index for the summer ichthyoplankton in 2020 and 2023 was 0.79. Diversity indices in 2023 decreased by an average of 1.2 times compared to 2020 due to the pronounced dominance of anchovy, which had not been previously observed. Conclusion. The highest number of species (28) was recorded in the coastal waters of the Karadag Nature Reserve: the abundance of eggs was 153.2 pcs./100 m3, and the abundance of larvae was 12.0 ind./100 m3. The lowest number of species (14) was observed in Tikhaya (Quiet) Bay: the abundance of eggs was 113.0 pcs./100 m3, and the abundance of larvae was 7.7 ind./100 m3. In the samples, the eggs of Engraulis encrasicolus (52.0 %) and Mullus barbatus (20.6 %) prevailed. Among larvae, the most prevalent were those of anchovy (46.4 %) and hatched from demersal eggs of Chromis chromis, as well as the fish species belonging to the families Gobiidae, Blenniidae, and Labridae (40.2 %).
