A análise das características da paisagem é essencial para alcançar importantes objetivos da Agenda 2030, por possibilitar a identificação do potencial agroflorestal e a seleção de práticas conservacionistas voltados ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Assim, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi analisar as características hidrogeomorfométricas da microbacia do rio José Paulista, localizada no município de Alta Floresta D’Oeste, estado de Rondônia. A microbacia tem área de 5,66 km2, perímetro de 11,67 km e formato alongado. A altitude varia de 212 a 467 m, com média de 368 m. Predominam relevos ondulados (43,82%) e o forte ondulados (38,87%). A rede de drenagem tem 27,96 km, padrão de drenagem dendrítico, hierarquia fluvial de 5ª ordem, 100 nascentes, 17,67 nascentes km-2 (muito alto), densidade de drenagem de 4,94 km km-2 (muito alto), coeficiente de manutenção de 202,4 m2 m-1 (baixo), índice de sinuosidade de 22,90% (canal principal reto) e tempo de concentração de 0,73 h (muito baixo). Essas características indicam o potencial para desenvolvimento de atividades agroflorestais na microbacia do rio José Paulista, com algumas regiões aptas à mecanização agrícola e outras regiões que exigem práticas conservacionistas rigorosas. É necessário a adoção de práticas conservacionistas de forma integrada, de caráter vegetativo, mecânico e edáfico, para proteger os recursos naturais e favorecer a manutenção de níveis adequados de produtividade nos estabelecimentos agropecuários. Conclui-se que as características hidrogeomorfométricas da microbacia do rio José Paulista permitiu a identificação das regiões com maior potencial agropecuário, e as regiões com maior fragilidade ambiental (terrenos com relevos ondulados a montanhosos e zona ripária) na qual devem ser priorizadas em ações futuras por parte do poder público.

Fuzzy concepts have been widely used to treat imprecision in many fields of natural and social sciences. In most of the natural science fields such as applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering, triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are commonly used and arithmetic operations on those numbers are studied in detail. On the other hand, in engineering and social science fields such as sociology and psychology, while treating the uncertainties, these numbers are not applicable and fuzzy numbers with more parameters and clear definitions of their arithmetic operations are needed. In order to fill this gap in the literature, in this study we propose the generalized pentagonal fuzzy numbers, and we define fuzzy arithmetic operations based on both extension and the function principle.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:

The prevalence of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pathology generating lower back pain is increasing, often requiring SI joint fusion in refractory cases. Similarly, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an increasing procedure in the older growing population. Prior SIJ fusion in patients undergoing THA has increased hip dislocation. This study aims to determine the prevalence of preexisting THA in SIJ fusion patients at our institution.

Methods:

After institutional review board approval, we completed a retrospective review of consecutive SIJ fusion cases performed by fellowship-trained orthopaedic spine surgeons between October 2019 and June 2022. The senior surgeon reviewed pelvis radiographs to determine whether a THA was present. Patient demographics, surgical history, SIJ fusion date, and laterality information from study participants' medical records were collected and analyzed.

Results:

We screened 157 consecutive cases and excluded 45 not meeting the inclusion criteria. One hundred twelve radiographs were reviewed, with seven additional patients excluded. The final analysis consisted of 105 patients (33M:72F). The mean age was 50.4 ± 13.8 years, and the mean body mass index was 29.1 ± 6.1 kg/m2. SIJ fusion laterality included 51 right (48.6%), 44 left (41.9%), and 10 bilateral (9.5%). One patient (0.95%) had a preexisting right THA, and two patients (1.9%) underwent ipsilateral THA after SIJ fusion.

Conclusions:

This study demonstrated a low prevalence (0.95%) of preexisting THA in SIJ fusion patients at our institution, similar to the THA prevalence of the total US population. Additional research is needed to determine the outcomes of patients with preexisting THA undergoing SIJ fusion.

Published: May 2024

В двухслойной метаповерхности, состоящей из периодически расположенных стержней, наблюдается сильная дисперсия коэффициента прохождения в микроволновой области спектра. Наблюдаемое явление это результат резонансного взаимодействия микроволны со стержнем, где формируется стоячая волна с аксиальной симметрией, а также эффективного электрического взаимодействия между стержнями соседних слоев. Обнаруженная на эксперименте, кривая зависимости коэффициента прохождения имеет острый пик, что позволяет использовать структуру в качестве полосового фильтра. Обнаружено, что резонансная частота смещается в область низких частот при увеличении длины стержней, их диаметра, а также расстояния между слоями, что открывает возможности управления и контроля микроволны.

In a two-layer meta surface consisting of periodically arranged rods, there is a strong dispersion of the transmission coefficient in the microwave region of the spectrum. The observed phenomenon is the result of the resonant interaction of the microwave with the rod, where a standing wave with axial symmetry is formed, as well as the effective electrical interaction between the rods of adjacent layers. The transmission coefficient curve found in the experiment has an acute peak, which allows the structure to be used as a bandpass filter. It was found that the resonant frequency shifts to the low-frequency region as the length of the rods, their diameter, and the distance between the layer’s increases, which opens up the possibilities of controlling and controlling the microwave.

MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION BASED DISTRIBUTED TASK OFFLOADING IN FOG COMPUTING
Authors: Rani Tehmina , Jamil Bushra , Ijaz Humaira
Published: May 2024

Due to an increasing number of IoT devices, a massive amount of data is generating daily. Initially, Cloud-centric Internet of Things (CIoT) based architecture is used for data processing, storage, and analysis. But it is difficult for the CIoT to handle the huge amount of data produced by these devices. Furthermore, cloud data centers are far away from IoT devices so transmitting data to the cloud will result in more bandwidth consumption, cost, and latency issues that’s why cloud computing is not suitable for real-time applications. To overcome these problems the concept of fog computing is introduced that extends cloud computing by moving the facilities to the edge of the network. Fog computing provides low latency, real-time processing near the edge of the network. Fog computing contains heterogeneous and intrinsically resource-constrained devices. Due to resource-constrained devices at the edge of the network resource management is a necessary issue to efficiently distribute resources and move some tasks to the other entity for execution to balance the load it’s called offloading. Different techniques of task offloading are used in fog computing that’s main purpose is to maximize and effective resource utilization, minimizing latency, cost, and energy consumption. This research is concerned with the design and implementation of a multi-objective optimization-based distributed task offloading algorithm in which we will optimize more than two objectives simultaneously like optimization of performance and resource utilization metrics.

Published: May 2024

Cancer is one of the top deadly diseases. Of this disease, around about 9.8 million death cause annually. It has been recorded by the American Cancer Society that every eight women die due to breast cancer in the USA. In this paper, we have identified eight different lesion categories: Benign Tumor: Adenosis-Adenoma, Fibro-Adenoma, Phyllodes-Tumor, Tubular-Adenoma, and Malignant Tumor; Ductal-Carcinoma, Lobular-Carcinoma, Mucinous-Carcinoma, Papillary-Carcinoma. The main contribution of this paper is to examine the performance of five pre-trained CNN models on an unbalanced cancer dataset for cancer prediction. The identification of different cancer tumors has been recognized by using transfer learning models namely ResNet50, ResNet101, ResNet152, VGG16, and VGG19. BreakHis dataset has four different magnifications (40x-100x-200x-400x), and used for experiments setup in this study. The total number of images for all magnification levels is 7909. The experimental results state that the pre-trained model Residual Net with different variations has worked well 91%~96% as compared to other pre-trained models. The ResNet101 architecture model has gained a multiclass identification higher than 95%. In this paper, the proposed methodology has different evaluation parameters such as accuracy, recall, and f1-score of all pre-trained models that will help to build optimal, and automated breast lesion multiclass identification.

Authors: Raza Zaidi Awais , Bilal Muhammad , Majid Tuba , Majid Abdul
Published: May 2024

Traditional cancer treatment methods have become less effective due to the increasing diversity of cancer types. To address this, precision medicine has gained support within the medical community. This approach tailors treatment to individual patients based on their specific disease characteristics. However, a major challenge lies in accurately predicting how a patient will respond to a specialized drug. Numerous machine learning-based predictive systems have been developed to address this challenge. These systems utilize genomic signatures and the chemical structure of drugs to predict drug activity. In this paper, we introduce a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) based system for predicting the response of anticancer drugs. Our system utilizes hybrid features derived from both genetic expression and the chemical structure of drugs. It is developed using the well-known GDSC dataset (Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer). Our system achieved a lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value of 0.889, in contrast to the RMSE value of 0.983 obtained by the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) system, SwNet. This indicates superior predictive accuracy. The findings suggest that our proposed research holds promise for the development of targeted drugs for anticancer treatments.

IoT ENBALED SMART AQUARIUM FOR MONITORING THROUGH SENSORS
Authors:   N.S. Raju Institute of Technology, Sontyam,   Visakhapatnam, A.P, India, Vikas P. Chetan
Published: May 2024

The development of an IoT-enabled smart aquarium system offering real-time monitoring and automated control of crucial environmental parameters. The core of the system lies in the ESP8266 microcontroller, facilitating seamless internet connectivity and data processing. Water quality assessment is achieved through a turbidity sensor, detecting suspended particles indicative of potential pollution. Environmental conditions are monitored using a DHT11 sensor, providing data on both temperature and humidity – essential factors for maintaining a healthy habitat for specific fish species. For automated lighting control mimicking natural day/night cycles and preventing excessive algae growth, a Light-Dependent Resistor (LDR) is implemented. The LDR adjusts aquarium lighting based on ambient light levels. Finally, a relay module controls the operation of a water pump, ensuring optimal water circulation and distribution of nutrients throughout the aquarium. While an I2C LCD connected to an Arduino Nano provides local data visualization within the aquarium setup, the ESP8266 transmits sensor readings to a user-friendly platform accessible remotely through a mobile application or web interface. This allows for convenient real-time monitoring of water quality, temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions. The system can be further programmed to generate alerts when critical parameters deviate from the ideal range, enabling proactive user intervention to maintain a healthy environment. This project demonstrates the potential of IoT technology to create a more automated, efficient, and user-friendly system for maintaining a thriving aquatic ecosystem.

Published: May 2024

Forecasting rainfall, crucial for agriculture, water management, and disaster preparedness, presents significant challenges due to intricate relationships often missed by conventional statistical methods. Hence, machine learning (ML) models offer promising alternatives, enhancing the precision and dependability of rainfall predictions. This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of various ML models with diverse model structures and regularization strategies for rainfall prediction in urban metropolitan cities. The results show that the random forest model, and gradient boosting model outperform the other models such as logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), decision tree, K-nearest neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayes, linear SVM, and neural network in terms of accuracy. Validation accuracies of 75%, 77%, 68%, 78%, 76%, 78%, 74%, 75% and 76% were achieved for logistic regression, SVM, decision tree, random forest model, KNN, gradient boosting model, Naive Bayes, linear SVM, and neural network, respectively. The choice of ML models for rainfall prediction should consider the characteristics of the data, e.g. a lag feature for 20 days was employed that uses previous time steps to predict the next time step.

Authors:   Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Oriental University, Indore, India., Vijaykar Shaloo
Published: May 2024

Induction motors and their speed control is critical aspect in several real life applications. Often, the proportional integral derivative (PID) controlling mechanism is found in several applications in industries where speed of motors or induction motors is to be controlled. The PID controller is specifically useful since it tries to minimize the steady state error as well as increase the response or speed of the system, thereby incorporating the benefits of proportional derivative and proportional integral control. However, the real time operation of PID controllers is challenging due to its tuning. The controlling mechanism is critically important for the application of the PID. Previously, manual tuning was used which needed experts and was also prone to errors. With the advent of sophisticated optimization tools, automatic tuning has gained momentum. In this work, a combination of neural networks and fuzzy logic often called neuro fuzzy expert systems has been proposed for the speed control of induction motors. It has been shown that proposed system is capable to attain better results compared to conventional techniques. The system has been designed on Matlab/Simulink. Key Words: Induction Motors, Speed Control, PID Controllers, Fuzzy Logic, Neuro Fuzzy Expert Systems.

MEMAKNAI KEMBALI KONSEP SUTAN TAKDIR ALISJAHBANA DALAM KONTEKS POLITIK KEBUDAYAAN NASIONAL INDONESIA
Authors: Damanhuri Tubagus , Fattah Galuh Nur
Published: May 2024

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini mengkaji pemaknaan kembali konsep Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana dalam konteks politik kebudayaan nasional Indonesia. Melalui perspektif Takdir Alisjahbana, suatu “Masyarakat dan Kebudayaan Baru Indonesia” harus dimaknai kembali dalam spirit modernitas dan progresivitas, sehingga kebudayaan nasional akan selalu relevan dengan zaman kekinian. Politik Kebudayaan Nasional merupakan suatu perjuangan nilai yang hadir di antara para pengkaji budaya, budayawan, masyarakat, dan pemerintah Indonesia untuk merumuskan gagasan dan tatanan kebudayaan nasional dari masa ke masa dalam pelbagai usaha-usaha proaktif,  kreatif dan integratif. Penelitian ini menemukan lima realitas historis politik kebudayaan, Pertama, politik kebudayaan Pra-kemerdekaan menghadirkan diskursus-diskursus kebudayaan yang kemudian mencetuskan kongres kebudayaan sebanyak tujuh kali yang menitikberatkan pada fenomena kebudayaan daerah dan masyarakat multikultural. Kedua, politik kebudayaan pasca kemerdekaan ditandai dengan spirit pemerintah dalam memajukan kebudayaan nasional Indonesia melalui amandemen pasal 32 UUD 1945, namun praktik kebudayaan sebagai alat tindakan politik (political act). Ketiga, kebudayaan di era Soeharto sangat menitikberatkan pada demokrasi Pancasila sehingga kebudayaan nasional yang dibangun harus selaras dengan kepentingan pembangunan dari penguasa. Keempat, di masa reformasi, individu dan atau komunitas budaya mendapatkan hak-hak kebudayaan, antara lain hak-hak tradisional, hukum adat serta tanah ulayat. Kelima, dewasa ini terlihat menitikberatkan pada agenda strategis kebudayaan nasional melalui visi “Indonesia Bahagia” yang diusung pemerintah. Namun, agenda tersebut hanya suatu nilai teori semata tanpa solidaritas yang nyata, sehingga agenda-agenda strategis kebudayaan nasional hanyalah slogan-slogan kosong yang dibalut citra penguasa semata. Kata Kunci: Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana, Politik Kebudayaan, Nasional Indonesia

Increasing urbanization threatens a variety of vital vertebrate habitats, including those of birds, and both terrestrial and aerial mammals. Nature preserves near urban centers at the rural/urban interface may harbor natural areas which can help to offset loss of habitat as cities expand. Therefore, techniques which allow managers to conduct short term surveys for vertebrates are needed. I conducted non-invasive, passive camera trapping and acoustic surveys in the vicinity of the urban area of Charlotte, North Carolina across 8 sites within Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, and Union counties during summer to fall 2023 to collect data on avian and mammalian communities. Five species of bats were documented, alongside 39 birds, and 11 terrestrial mammals. Bat activity decreased consistently along the sample period whereas terrestrial mammals were consistently sampled during the same time frame, with early summer providing effective data on avian presence. Automated identification software followed by manually vetting for bats and birds was effective in documenting diversity alongside camera trapping. The results presented here provide baseline data for future monitoring to inform urban planning management strategies and future studies on the potential presence of avian and mammalian presence in nature preserves.

Authors: Cherdantsev Vadim , Krinicyn Igor' , Tokarev Viktor
Published: May 2024

In recent years, attention has been increasing to various aspects of rural development that form the socio-economic sustainability of small settlements. The subjects of the rural economy make a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the village, and in fact it is agro-enterprises that act as a driver of rural development. The issues of taxation of agricultural enterprises are the most complex and at the same time the most "sensitive", however, insufficient attention is paid to these issues in the entire range of areas of sustainable rural development. Due to the fact that there is a direct relationship between the effectiveness of tax policy and the profitability of an economic entity, agricultural enterprises need to monitor the tax burden and control its level, while complying with the requirements of legislation regarding the regulation of taxation and labor relations. The article examines the problems faced by agricultural enterprises in connection with the constant reforms of the agricultural taxation system.
