A Review on Face Recognition for Automated Student Attendance System Using IOT
Authors:   1Electronics & Telecommunication Department, Deogiri Institution of Engineering and Management Studies, Cha.Sambhajinagar, Chapke1 Pradnya Achyutrao
Published: January 2025

The IoT-based smart attendance system recognises students' faces using biometrics captured by monitor cameras. Our smart attendance project uses a Raspberry Pi system to quickly and accurately recognise human faces in photos. The traditional approach of calling out students' names is time-consuming and may result in proxy attendance. The suggested system uses facial recognition to store student attendance records. When taking attendance, the system captures images of attendees and uses face detection and recognition to mark them as present. Attendance is updated with time, name, and register number. We utilised deep learning techniques to create this project.

To preserve discipline and allow students to learn the most in schools, colleges, and universities, an attendance system has been implemented. There are two common methods for determining the presence of students in a particular class. The first is by calling the roll number, and the second is by having the pupils sign a piece of paper next to their roll number.

As a result, it was important to improve this system so that it was more user-friendly, time-saving, and efficient. It is an automated technology that allows professors to participate in the full class without interruption or loss of time.

Published: January 2025

The modern-day meat industry is facing increased customer demand to abandon synthetic additives and move towards healthier natural options. Multiple fruits, vegetables, and spices were recently evaluated for their potential use in the meat industry. We also must consider the economic side; therefore, food scientists have become interested in polyphenol-rich co-products. Our study was focused on enhancing the antioxidant properties of a popular meat product – pork sausage with cascara extract at 5 mL/kg and powder at 5 g/kg. As cascara polyphenols and antioxidant capacity are highly variable depending on multiple factors, we evaluated total polyphenolic content and total antioxidant capacity at 21.26 ± 0.17 g GAE/kg and 37.65 ± 1.84%, respectively. During our experiment, we observed that cascara powder addition significantly reduced malondialdehyde production (by approx. 30%) compared to negative control. Even though cascara powder caused the difference in the pH values of sausage samples, the sensory panel did not negatively reflect this fact during the sensory evaluation. Based on our results, we believe cascara addition in powdered form presents a natural antioxidant option with high potential to be used in the meat industry.

‘International’ Causes and Domestic Revolutions: Liberal-Nationalist Revolutions of the Early 20th Century; the Case of China and Iran
Authors: Dezfuli Seyed Milad Kashefi Pour
Published: January 2025

Mainstream schools of International Relations theory, largely, refrain from studying socio-political revolutions in earnest. Their absence has been compensated for by historians, sociologists, and political scientists who have identified the influence of 'international' causes both in the occurrence and outcome of revolutions in the modern period. Revolutions are international events in their origins, ideologies, processes and consequences and affect the logic and rhythm of international systems of their times. On the other hand, the scholarly enthusiasm toward studying revolutions with revisionist agendas in the conduct of international relations ignores a vast array of revolutions throughout modern history were looking to adapt themselves with the established conventions of the international system and its dominant hegemon. This paper will examine the 'international' causes in a wave of liberal-nationalist revolutions that happened in the early 20th century in a number of less developed Asian countries that had been spared outright colonization and formal integration into European colonial empires.

Images and Historical Facts: A Study of Cross-cultural Textiles in Chen Juzhong's Painting Wen Ji Gui Han Tu
Authors: Wang Haowei , Zhao Feng , Wu Siyu
Published: January 2025

This article explores the cross-cultural textiles depicted in Chen Juzhong's (陳居中) painting Wen Ji Gui Han Tu (文姬歸漢圖), which is housed in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. By comparing cross-cultural textile representations with historical records, artifacts, and other contemporary images, this study demonstrates that their forms and features align with historical facts from the Song and Jin dynasties. The article further analyzes the origins and evolution of cross-cultural textile styles depicted in the image, noting that the robes worn by attendants and women were influenced by Islamic tiraz fabrics, while the golden robes and decorative motifs evolved within Mongolian clothing traditions. This supports the idea of multicultural exchanges during the Song and Jin dynasties. Finally, the article suggests that the rich information and metaphors embedded in the textiles imply that Wen Ji Gui Han Tu can be interpreted as a form of "espionage painting."

Humberto’s paradox
Authors: van Berlo Davied
Published: January 2025

Humberto’s paradox

Humberto is the name of a popular presentor on Dutch radio and television. In response to an item on a conflict between the Labour Inspectorate and the police authorities, he hesitantly posed the question whether the government should interfere. This is the paradox of citizens viewing the government sometimes as a single actor, whereas at other times they seem to acknowledge the fact that government consists of multiple actors. The use of co-creation and digital platforms could provide means that help todays government to mediate between the two extreme perceptions of government as a unitary actor and government as a conglomerate of actors operating in a networked society in which sometimes government organisations and sometimes other actors, including (groups) of citizens, in society take initiatives to promote and contribute to public values.
Vindplaatsen van stille ideologie – een essay
Authors: Putters Kim

Revealing the hidden ideology in politics and society

Values like quality of life, efficiency of services, solidarity in finances and privacy of clients are being compromised continuously in daily practices, inspired by opinions and ideology of (groups of) individuals. Yet, systems like healthcare are dominated by technocratic procedures to enforce transparency and efficiency. This functional rationality pushes away the more fundamental debates on values. This doesn’t mean they are not being compromised, but it’s done in a hidden way. It’s the nurse taking decisions on the amount of time available for a patient. Although restricted by procedures nurses compromise differently. The same counts for healthcare executives in their boardrooms. Restricted by system requirements they take decisions differently, inspired by their convictions. It is all ‘hidden ideology’ in institutions, interactions and intuitions. Even the political arena is imprisoned by the self made technocratic way of debating and deciding on important societal issues. Political debates should be about the values behind procedures instead of technocratic in its essence. Critical checks and balances have to be reinstalled (or reanimated) in political decision making in order to do this and meet patients’ or citizens’ needs, instead of maintaining a procedural attitude that drives politics and ideology away from society.
‘Le problème religieux’ van Malraux, geïllustreerd aan de hand van Rushdie, Spinoza en Galileo
Authors: Cliteur Paul

The religious problem of Malraux, illustrated with Rushdie, Spinoza, and Galileo

In this contribution three cases are discussed of thinkers who have come into conflict with the religious-fundamentalist ambition to control the freedom of thought and the freedom of expression of critical thinkers: Rushdie, Spinoza and Galileo. Salman Rushdie came into conflict with Islamic orthodoxy, Benedict Spinoza with Jewish orthodoxy and Galileo Galilei with Christian-Catholic orthodoxy. In addition to differences, interesting parallels can be drawn between these three situations. This article argues that it is good to study these parallels in order to learn something about how we should deal with religious fanaticism and upholding a culture of freedom, such as that in Article 18 (and 19 UDHR) as ideal.

Presentarse como candidato a la dirección de departamento universitario: una decisión compleja
Authors: Álvarez-Álvarez Carmen
Published: January 2025

Cuando un director de un departamento universitario cesa en sus funciones, los miembros del mismo saben que necesitan un sucesor, de manera que, unos meses antes de que este hecho suceda, hay movimientos para lograr que se presenten personas candidatas para ocupar dicho cargo. Sin embargo, el proceso, lejos de ser fácil, previsible o lineal, está plagado de controversias y dificultades. En el presente artículo nos planteamos conocer, mediante entrevistas en profundidad, las opiniones de directores en ejercicio de departamentos universitarios de educación de toda la geografía española sobre la decisión de optar a ejercer la mencionada ocupación. Tras contactar con todas las personas implicadas, se pudieron desarrollar diecisiete entrevistas con directores experimentados y noveles. Los resultados muestran que los candidatos tienen razones muy variadas para presentarse y que en algunos casos repiten la experiencia, puesto que suele ser fácil para ellos formar equipo y sienten que predomina la continuidad en los estilos directivos. Debemos concluir afirmando que es necesario realizar una formación específica sólida y una investigación más amplia sobre el tema que contribuya a identificar las posibilidades y los límites reales de las direcciones departamentales, para que los miembros de los departamentos conozcan mejor a estos necesarios y relevantes cargos.
