Authors: Bharti Mukesh Shankar
Published: November 2022

This study discusses the questions of terrorism among the international communities. The threat of terrorism has affected international peace and security. Further, we have to study to elucidate the main roots of terrorism and how to save the world community from the danger of it. The study relied on the concept of collective security derived from the theory of bargaining and idealism to explain why states come together to fight terrorism. The authors use this method to search the result through empirical analyses. As a result of this study, the terrorist activities displaced the people and restricted sustainable development. The result also shows that due to the terrorist events, people suffered from many basic human rights. Thus, many parts of the world have been destabilised from the act of terrorism and are continually struggling to restore peace and security.
Perceiving the World With Sound
Authors: Saqib Usama , Kerstens Robin
Published: November 2022

Robot perception is the ability of a robotic platform to perceive its environment by the means of sensor inputs, e.g., laser, IMU, motor encoders, and so on. Much like humans, robots are not limited to perceiving their environment through vision-based sensors, e.g., cameras. Robot perception, through the scope of this chapter, encompasses acoustic signal processing techniques to locate the presence of a sound source, e.g., human speaker, within an environment for human-robot interaction (HRI), that has gained great interest within scientific community. This chapter will serve as an introduction to acoustic signal processing within robotics, starting with passive acoustic localization and building up to contemporary active sensing methods, such as the usage of neural networks and spatial map generation. The origins of active acoustic localization, which finds its roots in biomimetics, are also discussed.
Identifiability and Detectability of Lyapunov Exponents in Robotics
Authors: Karabutov Nikolay Nikolayevich
Published: November 2022

Lyapunov exponents (LE) are one of the most effective tools for analyzing the quality of systems in robotics. They are used to optimize the robot work, evaluate the quality of their work, and solve various tasks in control systems with robots. Calculating the full spectrum of LE is a complex problem. It relates to the identifiability recoverability and detectability of LE. The identifiability recoverability and detectability issues of Lyapunov exponents were not considered. This problem is relevant. The authors propose an approach to verify these characteristics for the linear dynamical system. It bases on the analysis of geometric frameworks (GF) that depends on the structural properties coefficient (SPC). The SPC reflects the change in Lyapunov exponents, and GF guarantees decision-making on the LE type. They obtain (1) conditions of fully detectable LE (these conditions correspond to the determination of an indicators complete set in the robot control system) and (2) s-detectability conditions with level v-no recoverability if the system contains no recoverable lineals.

This investigation shows the implementation of parametric accelerated life testing (ALT) as established. It involves (1) a product BX lifetime that X% of a system population is unsuccessful with ALT plan, (2) fatigue design, (3) ALTs with modifications, and (4) discernment as to whether the design(s) fulfills the objective BX lifetime. As a case study, pneumatic cylinder was investigated. The pneumatic cylinder was unsuccessful in a manufacturing line. To reproduce it, parametric ALT was carried out. At the first ALT, the metal seal made of nickel-iron alloy partially cracked and chipped with metal sound. As an action plan, material of the seal was altered from metal to silicone rubber. At the second ALT, due to seal hardening and wear, the piston seal leaked gas. The failure of the silicone seals in the laboratory tests were alike to those returned from the marketplace. The seal material was changed from silicone rubber to (thermoset) polyurethane. For the third ALT, there were no issues. Finally, the lifetime of the pneumatic cylinder was manifested to have a B1 life of 10 years.

Authors: Hj Abd Rahman Nur Aqilah Adilah , Susanto Heru
Published: November 2022

This chapter aims to address the research gap from the previous paper on the effects of employee performance on the implementation of total quality management from the perspective of working mothers' evidence from the public and private sectors. The performance of working mothers is said to be not satisfactory, and their performance has dropped after having babies. Thirty-one working mothers participated in the survey and were filtered into 12 respondents to follow the “rule of 12” of a pilot study. Five alternative hypotheses were accepted, whereas three null hypotheses were accepted. Study shows that implementation would help improve the performance of working mothers even though the evidence is not strong enough to support it but can be accepted due to the presence of correlation between variables. A few research gaps were solved and addressed, and a few were not discussed and will be used for future research.

Antibacterial Polysulfone Nanofiber Functionalized with Green Silver Nanoparticles by a Facile Wetting Method for Microbial Corrosion Protection
Authors: San Keskin Nalan Oya , Deniz Furkan , Nazir Hasan
Published: November 2022

The introduction of antimicrobial nanoparticles into nanofiber coatings is significant for enhancing microbial corrosion protection. Here, electrospun polysulfone nanofiber (PSU-Nf) and PSU-Nf functionalized with biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) coatings (PSU-Nf-AgNPs) used for Cobalt (Co) corrosion resistance in a marine environment containing Aeromonas eucrenophila (A. eucrenophila). We utilized the barrier function of the PSU-Nf and the bacterial inhibition property of the AgNPs that are synthesized using bacteria. The thickness of nanofiber coatings was 233.11 ± 33.64 µm analyzed by optical microscope and beadless morphology of nanofibers was observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The corrosion behavior of Co coated with PSU-Nf and PSU-Nf-AgNPs in abiotic and in the presence of the bacterium environment was investigated via polarization techniques and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Corrosion analysis reveals that the charge transfer resistance (Rct) increased because of the addition of the nanostructure resulting in a reduction in corrosion rate. SEM micrographs show Co surface was severely damaged by a microbial corrosive attack with severe crevices. However, the PSU-Nf and especially PSU-Nf-AgNPs coated Co surface was still covered by nanofiber coatings as the bacteria colony was not noticed. In addition, the results of the performing bacterial disk diffusion method indicated that electrospun PSU-Nf-AgNPs have good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and model biofilm bacterium. It was found that the uncoated Co surface had severe crevices and offered poor corrosion resistance under mineral salt medium with A. eucrenophila strain. Therefore, PSU-Nf-AgNPs coated Co exhibited better corrosion resistance in mineral salt medium containing bacteria.

Published: November 2022

We study the crystal structure of carbon-doped Al-rich MnAl thin films deposited on Si substrates. The effects of carbon content and vacuum heat treatment parameters are studied. It is shown that the carbon content, in combination to heat treatment, allows to tailor structural phase transitions in the films. The main phases detected are Al2Mn3, pure Mn, and pure C. As carbon content increases, the amount of Al2Mn3 phase decreases and the content of pure crystallized Mn phase increases. In addition, it is shown that as the heat treatment temperature increases – up to 500 °C – the Al2Mn3 phase content increases, whereas a pure C phase appears at lower temperatures.

Published: November 2022

Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries have become one of the promising rechargeable storage devices due to its abundancy, low cost, non-toxicity, environmental friendliness and high theoretical specific capacity. However, the insulating nature of sulfur and the shuttling effect of polysulfides have limited their applications. In order to alleviate these problems and make Li-S batteries more promising, we have synthesized a composite of reduced graphene oxide and sulfur (rGO-S) as electrode material for these batteries. In this paper, graphite oxide was prepared from graphite powder by Improved Hummer’s method followed by ultrasonic exfoliation to make Graphene Oxide (GO). The GO suspension was hydrothermally reduced and heated in a hot air oven at 150 °C for 4 hours followed by the addition of sulfur (S) in a ratio of 0.1:1 and 1:1 by mass and heated again at 180 °C for another 4 hours to make a composite of rGO-S. The electrode of the rGO-S composite was prepared by making a slurry of active material, carbon black and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The sample of GO and rGO were analyzed using Ultraviolet (UV)-Visible and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The composite material was analyzed using X-Rays Powder Diffraction (XRD) while the energy density and charge discharge curves of the electrode were analyzed using cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Authors: Hua Zhongwei , Guan Min
Published: November 2022

To solve the object detection task in the harsh sandy environment, this paper proposes a lightweight sandy vegetation object detection algorithm based on attention mechanism. We reduce the number of model parameters by lightweight design of the anchor-free object detection algorithm model, thereby reducing the model inference time and memory cost. Specifically, the algorithm uses a lightweight backbone network to extract features, and uses linear interpolation in the neck network to achieve multi-scale. Model algorithm compression is performed by depthwise separable convolution in the head network. At the same time, the channel attention mechanism is added to the model to further optimize the algorithm. Experiments have proved the superiority of the algorithm, the mAP in the training effect is 76%, and the prediction time per frame is 0.0277 seconds. It realizes the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm operation in the desert environment.

Authors: Abunna Fufa , Kaba Mirgissa , Mor Siobhan , Megersa Bekele
Published: November 2022

Meat handlers play a critical role in food safety by preventing contamination of food for human consumption. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken with 391 meat handlers working in abattoirs and retail meat stores in Bishoftu, Ethiopia, to investigate their food safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP). Data were collected in interviews using a semistructured questionnaire adapted from previous research. An overall score for each topic area was calculated based on the responses to individual questions. Logistic regression was used to assess the independent associations between sociodemographic characteristics and good knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Almost all meat handlers were males (97.2%), and more than half (51.9%) had primary-level education. Most (72.4%) meat handlers had a good knowledge level with a median score of 16 out of 21 (interquartile range [IQR] = 6). Similarly, most (94.6%) meat handlers had a positive attitude toward food safety with a median score 18 out of 20 (IQR = 1). However, most (83.7%) meat handlers had poor food safety practices with median score of 11 out of 20 (IQR = 3). In multivariable models, good knowledge was significantly (P < 0.05) associated with male gender and older age; positive attitudes were associated with lower educational attainment and good knowledge; and good practices were associated with working in an abattoir and having received training on food safety. Regular hands-on training and enforcement of general and personal hygiene is recommended.
What Historical Records Teach Us about the Discovery of Quinine
Authors: Miller Louis H. , Rojas-Jaimes Jesus , Low Leanne M. , Corbellini Gilberto
Published: November 2022

The origin of quinine from Peru remains a mystery because of the lack of primary data—in particular, those produced by the Jesuits working in Peru. The discovery of cinchona bark and its use in malaria treatment must have come from the Jesuits, who worked with the native Andeans, the Quichuan people, and learned how the bark of the cinchona tree could be used for chills. Unknown is whether the Andean people used it for fever that may have been the result of malaria. We explored the literature of the 1600s, 1700s, and later to trace the history of quinine that is available. All these secondary sources lack the primary data of the Jesuits in their work with native Andeans, nor is there information on how the discovery of its use for malaria-like fevers came about. One clue comes from the Jesuits who talked with the Andean people and learned about quinine. But was it used for fever? Why did the Jesuits test it against (tertian or quartan) fevers that could have been the result of malaria? The gap in our knowledge can only be resolved with the discovery of written documents by the Jesuits about quinine for malaria.

Published: November 2022

Chongqing is one of the focuses of leprosy control in China. Although leprosy control in Chongqing has achieved remarkable results over the years, there are also some problems, such as recurrent epidemics and insufficient early detection in some areas. The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of leprosy in Chongqing, from 1949 to 2019 and explore the potential factors sociated with cure of leprosy to provide a basis for improving leprosy prevention and treatment strategies in Chongqing. Epidemiological indicators such as incidence and prevalence rates were used to evaluate the prevalence of leprosy. The epidemiological characteristics and control situation of leprosy in patients were analyzed using demographic characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment. Survival analysis was conducted to explore factors associated with the cure of leprosy. From 1949 to 2019, 3,703 cases of leprosy were registered in Chongqing. The incidence of leprosy in the city peaked at 0.853/105 in 1960 and remained below 0.100/105 after 2003. The number of high incidence areas decreased significantly, but they were mainly concentrated in the northeast and southeast regions. The early detection rate increased yearly from 1949 to 2019, and the rate of grade 2 disability ranged from 38.2% to 21.7%, with a fluctuating downward trend after 1960. Male, young age, employment as a farmer, delayed diagnosis, and multibacillary leprosy were risk factors for leprosy cure. Chongqing should continue to strengthen leprosy monitoring to improve the early detection of leprosy and focus on sociated risk factors to carry out multiple strategies.

The adjacent area is neighbor as a word. In the language of cartography, it means the region within the borders adjacent to the zoning boundaries. The parcels located at the borders of the adjacent area are cadastral, that is, the areas that have not been developed in the form of fields. Since this type of parcel is outside the zoning boundaries, certain definite criteria for construction are not as diverse as in a zoning island. The most significant part is that the parcel must have at least one side of the parcel should face the road. In the adjacent area, facilities such as chicken, fattening, cattle breeding farm or cheese, dairy production facilities, trustee parking lot, silo and feed facility are built. The purpose of the study is how the parcels can move within the boundaries in the construction of these related structures. As a method, it is to make it geometrically closed while determining the residential areas for the building at the borders of the parcels with the end-to-end splicing technique. Therefore, with various examples, it is to examine how a construction permit will be granted on the ground within the framework of the regulation on unplanned areas while the facility is placed on the ground in an adjacent area.

In this study, it was aimed to determine fat depression levels in cow milk obtained from Edirne and Tekirdağ provinces in May. Research data on this subject were obtained from a private dairy factory in May. Milk fat depression is a condition detected as a result of the milk fat levels of dairy cattle falling below 3.20%. Milk fat depression is an undesirable situation because it causes problems in obtaining dairy products. The data of May were compared with the 3.2% value, which is accepted as the milk fat depression threshold, with the help of a one-sample T-test. In this study, total fat levels were determined as 2.93% for Edirne and 3.32% for Tekirdağ. When the total fat levels were compared with the reference value, depression was observed in the Edirne province. However, depression has not been found in Tekirdağ province. Accordingly, milk obtained from Edirne in May is undesirable in terms of dairy production. In the province of Tekirdağ, such negativity has not been observed. In Edirne province, regulations should be made on animal feeding to increase milk fat levels. Fat depression analysis should be done in milk obtained from different provinces. Thus, it is of great importance for the economy of the country and human health to take urgent measures for feeding and animal breeding for places with depression.

This is due to the high interest costs incurred yet the limited availability of long-term debt or outside borrowing
