Authors: ISIAKA, O.S  , OYEDEPO, F.S  , ISMAIL, S.I  , LAWAL, O.L
Published: February 2025

The transition to online examinations has necessitated robust proctoring mechanisms to ensure integrity and fairness. Traditional online proctoring systems often rely on human invigilators or basic monitoring software, both of which are prone to inefficiencies, high operational costs, and scalability challenges. This paper proposes an AI-based proctoring system that addresses two critical challenges: detecting disruptive sounds and identifying pre-existing infractions in online examination environments. The system integrates sound classification using a convolutional neural network (CNN) and visual recognition techniques for infraction detection. Extensive testing across diverse scenarios demonstrated high detection accuracy, low false positive rates, and real-time responsiveness. The results highlight the system's potential to transform online proctoring practices, ensuring reliable examination monitoring while maintaining candidate privacy and convenience.

Investigation on mulching weed control technologies of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas)
Authors: Dezső Dániel , Szabó Rita , Pásztor György
Published: February 2025

In our experiment, we investigated the weed control efficiency of organic mulches (wheat straw and grass cuttings) and agrotextile. The mulching materials reduced weed coverage and influenced the weed flora. However, their effectiveness significantly declined after approximately 4–6 weeks, necessitating supplementary weeding to prevent substantial yield losses. Agrotextile increased the yield by 43% (likely due to its effect on soil temperature and water management favorable for sweet potatoes), while organic mulches reduced the yield by 16–23%, even with supplementary weeding. In the weedy control, yield decreased by 97.2%. Agrotextile produced a marketable yield of 84.25 t/ha, whereas organic mulches resulted in 40.98–44.54 t/ha. Based on our results, agrotextile is the most recommended option for weed control in sweet potato, considering both the labor time required for weed management and the costs. Since agrotextile can be used for multiple years, its cost is not higher than straw mulch, and its environmental impact is lower compared to disposable plastic mulches.

Authors: M. Kassai Katalin , Kende Zoltán , Tarnawa Ákos , Jolánkai Márton
Published: February 2025

Growth and development of field crops is highly influenced by the water availability of the crop site. In an assessment study at the MATE University, the magnitude of aridity in relation with the geographic location of the crop site has been evaluated. Six field crop species (Sugar beet Beta vulgaris, winter barley Hordeum vulgare, winter wheat Triticum aestivum, maize Zea mays, potato Solanum tuberosum, and alfalfa Medicago sativa) were involved in the research. Data bases of twelve meteorological stations (Békéscsaba, Budapest, Debrecen, Miskolc, Mosonmagyaróvár, Nagykanizsa, Nyíregyháza, Pécs, Siófok, Szeged, Szolnok, Szombathely) representing major geographic areas of Hungary were used in the evaluation. PAI indices of the stations involved were combined with vulnerability indices of the field crops studied. Upon the results of the study cereals proved to be the most tolerant, while potato and maize were highly influenced by aridity x vulnerability interactions. Considerable impact could be seen in the case of alfalfa and sugar beet. The geographic altitude of the crop site was in negative correlation with the magnitude of drought indices.

Authors: Scherman Jakab Máté , Petróczy Marietta , Szathmáry Erzsébet , Markó Gábor
Published: February 2025

Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed) is an invasive weed species that significantly impacts agriculture and public health. This study aimed to develop an automated AI-based object detection model using our annotated image recognition dataset for accurate pollen size measurement, focusing on repeatability and variability in pollen size among individuals with distinct morphological characteristics. The model can effectively streamline the traditionally labour-intensive process, achieving rapid, accurate data collection. Roboflow-based image analysis takes only milliseconds, which is significantly faster than traditional approaches, and a high repeatability index demonstrates a valid methodology for pollen analysis. The study suggests a relationship between pollen size variability and plant morphology, suggesting possible trade-offs between growth and reproduction or showing habitat-specific adaptations. Results may create valuable opportunities for plant biology or ecology, for instance, further investigation of plant-pathogen interactions and public health research. This innovative method represents a step forward in efficient pollen analysis and its integration into multidisciplinary studies.

There are more than 6.33 crore Micro, Small and Medium enterprises spread across the length and
breadth of India. More than half of these are based in rural areas and thus help develop the rural
economy and generate local employment for workers in the region. These firms also contribute
a third to the national gross value added (GVA) and close to a third to India's gross domestic
product (GDP) and employ over 11.1 crore workers. MSMEs are also a catalyst in the social welfare
of Indian society. A greater share of MSME is led by women (20%) and backward classes (66%)
as compared to a fewer woman (17%) and backward groups in senior corporate positions. And
a greater share of MSME jobs is held by women (24%) in contrast to the lower national women
labour participation rate (20%). Policymakers also understand the importance of MSMEs and have
supported these firms in their rapid growth over the last two decades with access to funds, and,
technology and managerial expertise. Despite this, Indian MSMEs face a number of challenges
related to access to bank credits, lack of strategic management, financial literacy, attracting and
retaining talent, etc. This article reviews literature on challenges faced by MSMEs and the future

Published: February 2025

Life expectancy, in India, was 41 years in 1960, which stands at 69.4 years in the year 2018, as
per world Bank (2020). This improvement in life expectancy is due to enhanced standard of living
and improved healthcare system in India. Generally, the age for retirement is 60 years, which
means individuals would lead life after retirement with no regular income unless individual has
appropriate investments to ensure adequate income. Hence it is important for individuals to make
meticulous financial plan for retirement. Most of the government and all of private sector do not
provide for regular income, in the form of pension after retirement. Hence, is the responsibility
of the individual to make appropriate investments during the period of employment. Financial
security can ensure and enable individuals to enjoy the life after retirement. The financial stress
reduces to a large extent if individual starts investing at an early age. Primarily, demographic
factors and saving behavior has relevance in understanding the individual’s financial planning for
retirement. The present study has considered predictor variables, namely age, gender, education,
profession, size of the family, total earning members in the family, frequency of saving and advice
for saving. The study is conducted in the Quilon City, Kerala. For the study primary data is collected
using structured questionnaire. Google form was the medium to collect the data. Binary logistic
regression is used to analyse influence of afore mentioned variables on individual’s act to take
decision to make financial plan for retirement. The study revealed that age, profession, number of
earning members in the family, frequency of saving and advice for saving has significant impact
on individual’s initiative to plan for retirement.

Published: February 2025

Relevancia: Esta revisión bibliográfica expone la importancia del rendimiento visual en pacientes présbitas con Lentes de Contacto multifocales.Resumen: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura publicada durante los últimos años, enfocada en el rendimiento visual del paciente présbita usuario de lentes de contacto multifocales, resumiendo los estudios que verifiquen los criterios de inclusión que se definirán. Se realizó la búsqueda bibliográfica con los descriptores y operadores booleanos, y a estos resultados se les aplicaron los criterios de inclusión y exclusión con el objetivo de realizar un cribado y obtener resultados finales. Se realizaron las búsquedas mediante los descriptores, indicando que éstos aparecieran en el título o el resumen del artículo. Para obtener una búsqueda más precisa en la plataforma Pubmed, se introdujeron otros filtros, como criterios de inclusión y de exclusión. Se obtuvieron 78 resultados en total. Tras la aplicación de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión el número de artículos se redujo a 15 resultados.Las Lentes de Contacto (LC) multifocales son una buena alternativa de corrección óptica de la presbicia, ya que se han encontrado evidencias que confirman que la Agudeza Visual (AV) es buena y no existen diferencias de AV comparándolo con la gafa progresiva. La Sensibilidad al Contraste (SC) tampoco se encuentra afectada al utilizar LC multifocal, y de las curvas de desenfoque se puede inferir que el paciente tiene un buen espacio enfocado para realizar las tareas cotidianas. Sin embargo, debemos tener en cuenta las adiciones, ya que con adiciones altas los valores de AV y SC se encuentran más bajos. Por lo tanto, cuanto mayor sea la adición de nuestro paciente menor será la AV y la SC. Comparando con la monovisión, las LC multifocales proporcionaron mejor rendimiento visual, sin la reducción de estereopsis producida mediante la técnica de monovisión.

Authors: Silantyeva Elena , Zarkovic Dragana , Soldatskaia Ramina , Astafeva Evgeniia , Orazov Mekan
Published: February 2025

Electromyography (EMG) effectively measures pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity, revealing differences in muscle function in women with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). This study compares the efficacy of high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) therapy and traditional electrical stimulation in treating PFD. Surface EMG and subjective assessments (Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire, PFIQ) were used to evaluate PFM strength, endurance, and relaxation changes. Results showed that HIFEM significantly improved muscle activation, relaxation, and endurance compared to electrical stimulation. The PFIQ scores also indicated a more significant improvement with HIFEM, suggesting it is more effective than electrical stimulation for restoring PFM strength and alleviating PFD symptoms. These findings highlight HIFEM’s superior efficacy in PFM rehabilitation, offering a promising alternative for postpartum women and those with urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction.

Published: February 2025

This study explores the landscape of chromosomal anomalies in couples with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) who have not previously delivered abnormal fetuses. From 2014 to 2021, we analyzed 122 couples who had experienced more than two first-trimester miscarriages. After excluding common causes of RPL, we conducted a cytogenetic analysis using G-banding. The results revealed chromosomal anomalies in 8.2% of cases, including balanced reciprocal translocations in 4 men and two women, Robertsonian translocations in 2 men, and subfertility in 3 men. Additionally, one woman had a pericentric inversion of chromosome 9, and another had a mosaic karyotype 46, XX/47, XXX. The introduction of genetic counseling led to two successful pregnancies with normal karyotypes. These findings underscore the potential of karyotyping to identify genetic causes and inform reproductive planning, empowering couples to make informed decisions about their future pregnancies.
Thyroid Function and Fertility in Women
Authors:   University of Medicine, Milewicz Andrzej
Published: February 2025

Thyroid hormones, by affecting prolactin and sex hormone-binding globulin levels and oocyte maturation, significantly affect reproductive function in women. Subclinical or overt hypothyroidism is most common, and hyperthyroidism is less common. Approximately 10% of women show immunological thyroid disorders with increased antibody levels. There is no conclusive data that fertility disorders accompany hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism in pregnancy is a factor in its risk, as therapy in the first trimester is proposed propylthiouracil. In contrast, thiamazole is recommended in the second and third trimesters due to its hepatotoxic effects. Breastfeeding should occur immediately after taking the drugs and 3 hours before the next feeding. Abnormalities in monthly bleeding and ovulation accompany hypothyroidism and are the most common cause of fertility and pregnancy disorders, especially when accompanied by elevated levels of anti-TPO antibodies.

Extended culture to the blastocyst stage has become a widely adopted practice in assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), offering significant improvements in embryo selection and supporting single embryo transfer. Conventionally, the selection of viable blastocysts occurs on Days 5 and 6 of embryo culture, with embryos deemed unsuitable for transfer, biopsy, or cryopreservation after Day 6 being routinely discarded. However, a subset of embryos exhibits slower development, reaching the blastocyst stage on Day 7. Remarkably, Day 7 blastocysts possess the potential for viability, as they can attain top morphological grades, display euploidy, and ultimately lead to healthy live births. Unfortunately, the prevailing practice in most clinics involves terminating culture on Day 6, which may result in prematurely discarding viable Day 7 blastocysts. While Day 7 blastocysts constitute only 5% of the total viable blastocysts, those that meet the criteria for cryopreservation or biopsy hold significant clinical value. Culturing embryos for an additional day extends the window of opportunity, allowing for identifying more usable embryos per the in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. This approach is particularly advantageous for patients with limited

Chronic endometritis is defined as mild persistent inflammation of the endometrium, characterized histologically by inflammatory cells in the endometrial stroma, including plasma cells, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and even lymphoid follicles. Diagnosing chronic endometritis is difficult for a variety of reasons. Most patients are asymptomatic, and ultrasound features are nonspecific. Microbiological examination is often not informative because most pathogens are non-cultivable. A hysteroscopy can diagnose chronic endometritis by detecting specific endometrial changes, such as focal or diffuse hyperemia, stromal edema, and micro polyps. Histopathological identification of plasma cells in endometrial biopsy specimens is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of chronic endometritis. There is a hypothesis that chronic endometritis may be related to endometriosis, although studies in this direction are very scarce. There are different opinions about the persistence and progression of chronic endometritis, which require further research.

Background: The menopausal transition (MT) marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, characterized by hormonal changes, irregular menstrual cycles, and various symptoms impacting health and quality of life.
Objective: To understand the hormonal fluctuations during MT and the clinical implications for managing symptoms.
Method and Materials: The article synthesizes findings from various studies and consensus workshops, particularly the Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop (STRAW), detailing hormonal changes and clinical presentations during early and late MT.
Results: MT involves erratic estradiol levels, decreased progesterone, and increased follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to irregular cycles, with notable events like luteal out-of-phase (LOOP) cycles. Symptoms often include abnormal uterine bleeding, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood disorders. Hormonal therapies, including estrogen and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are effective but should be administered cautiously due to associated risks.
Discussion: The hormonal chaos of MT complicates infertility and symptom management. Non-hormonal therapies and lifestyle modifications are beneficial but often less effective than hormone therapy.
Conclusion: A personalized approach to managing MT is crucial, integrating hormonal and non-hormonal strategies, lifestyle changes, and mental health support. Continuous research aims to optimize these interventions for better outcomes in women during MT.

Nærværende rapport er den første af i alt fem delrapporter, der tilsammen evaluerer Det Frie Forskningsråds (DFF) virkemiddel ’forskningsprojekter’ i perioden fra 2001 til 2009. Denne første rapport er en gennemgang og analyse af Det Frie Forskningsråds opslag i perioden 2001 til 2009 samt en beskrivelse af ansøgninger og bevillinger i perioden. De spørgsmål, der besvares i rapportens analyse, omfatter blandt andet spørgsmålet om, hvordan virkemidlerne større og mindre forskningsprojekter er blevet tilrettelagt af de forskellige råd, og hvilke krav der er skrevet ind i opslagene. Der sættes også fokus på de variationer over tid, der har været både inden for og på tværs af de fem faglige råd. I denne analyse er følgende faktorer samtidig genstand for en nærmere undersøgelse: krav til tidslængde og beløb i forbindelse med forskningsprojekter, rådenes vurderingskriterier, krav til projektbeskrivelse, krav til forskningsformidling etc.

Den bibliometriske undersøgelse har til formål at afdække, om der er bibliometriske effekter ved at få tildelt midler under virkemidlet forskningsprojekter fra forskningsrådene. Effekterne omfatter publikationsaktiviteten (mængde og kvalitet), citationsomfanget (mængde og kvalitet) samt et mål for den samlede gennemslagskraft pr. ansøger. Der er udvalgt 104 bevillingsmodtagere og 104 afslagsmodtagere, fordelt ligeligt på de fem nuværende faglige forskningsråd. Udvælgelsen er sket blandt førstegangsansøgere i 2002-2004. Derved kan publiceringsaktiviteten både måles før og efter ansøgningsåret.
Subregional innovation

Published: February 2025

Tilvejebringelsen af en mere nuanceret karakteristik af danske virksomheder helt ned på subregionalt1 niveau vises i denne rapport at være et vigtigt innovationspolitisk instrument. De subregionale analyser vil gøre det muligt at skræddersy innovationspolitiske tiltag, så behovene i de enkelte områder tilgodeses bedst muligt. Desuden kan en differentieret, subregional innovations-politik give erhvervslivet bedre udbytte end en samlet regional eller national innovationspolitik.
European Flagship Universities: balancing academic excellence and socio-economic relevance - Background report University of Copenhagen
Authors: Kalpazidou Schmidt Evanthia
Published: February 2025

The report is a case study of the University of Copenhagen as a contribution to the Flagship project, which in a comparative perspective analyses the way in which European flagship universities are adapting to a common European governance and policy framework. The universities in Denmark have been subject to far-reaching reforms, where demands on closer interplay with the private sector and dissemination of knowledge to society at large have been central. Universities are therefore expected to find the right balance between academic excellence and socio-economic relevance while having to find their “room to manoeuvre”, managing internal and external conditions in a new national and global framework.
