Authors: Kıymık Erkan , Öztürk Ali Emre
Published: June 2024

This work investigates the integration of multiplicative calculus into gradient descent algorithms, including Adaptive Gradient algorithm (AdaGrad), Root Mean Squared Propagation (RMSProp), Nesterov Accelerated Gradient (NAG), and Momentum, to optimize exponential-quadratic-logarithmic composite functions with the positivity constrained. This research, conducted across five scenarios within the Constrained and Unconstrained Testing Environment (CUTEst), compares these multiplicative methods with their classical counterparts under a variety of constraints environments such as bounded, quadratic, and other types, and unconstrained environments. The results demonstrate the significant superiority of multiplicative-based algorithms, especially in unconstrained and bounded constrained scenarios, and demonstrate their potential for complex optimization tasks. Statistical analysis supports the observed performance advantages, indicating significant opportunities for optimization strate-gies in positive domains.

Understanding Zillennials Consumer Green Behavior of Reducing Plastic Bag Use through the Theory of Planned and Interpersonal Behavior
Authors: Solekah Nihayatu Aslamatis , Handriana Tanti , Usman Indrianawati
Published: June 2024

Adopting cloth bags over single-use plastic bags is a significant consumer behavior. Employing the theory of of planned and interpersonal behavior, this study aimed to understand the relationship between customers' intentions to use cloth bags and their awareness of the environmental impact of plastic bags. Through purposive sampling, 277 individuals born after 1980 and making at least one to three in-person retail and Internet purchases each month were selected as participants. The data were processed using descriptive and quantitative analysis tools using SEM (Structural Equation Model) analysis. The findings reveal that creating the next generation of habit bags can significantly enhance social awareness of plastic bag usage and the environment. However, no evidence suggests that the EAPB increases the intention to use cloth bags. The more the SP and SBPB intervene, the more the IUCB contributes to changing consumer behavior to use fewer plastic bags. Therefore, Habit Bag Use can positively influence pro-environmental behavior, as this study combined the theory of Interpersonal Behavior and the theory of Planned Behavior. These results contribute to the theoretical framework for understanding how the millennial generation's interpersonal conduct, reflected in their bag-using behaviors, influences their behavior in minimizing plastic bag usage. These findings imply that the adoption of single-use or non-plastic bag habits can motivate people to reduce their usage of plastic bags, a behavior that is further encouraged by laws prohibiting the use of plastic bags.

Authors: S. P. Aggreza  , C. Budiman  , Z. Wulandari
Published: June 2024

Lysozyme, a natural antibacterial, has potential use in several applications. Generally, it is obtained from chicken egg whites. However, the idea of using local duck eggs as a source of lysozyme is not wellknown. This study aimed to isolate and purify the egg white of Mojosari and Alabio ducks to characterize lysozyme. Additionally, the study analyzed the effect of temperature treatment on lysozyme enzymatic activity. Three different temperature treatments were used: Low Temperature Long Time (63 ℃, 30’), High Temperature Short Time (72 ℃, 15”), and sterilization (121 ℃, 15’). The Amberlite resin cation exchange chromatography method was successfully used to isolate and purify Mojosari and Alabio duck egg whites, achieving purity levels of 94.92-96.09%. The presence of lysozyme was confirmed by the existence of bands that were primarily composed of lysozyme. The results showed that each aspect of the characteristics of lysozyme and enzymatic activity were significantly affected (p<0.05) by the type of egg white. Enzymatic activity indicated that Alabio duck lysozyme was thermosensitive and could only survive at LTLT temperature, while Mojosari duck lysozyme could survive at LTLT and HTST pasteurization temperatures. However, both lysozymes did not survive the sterilization temperature.

Authors: Wahyuni Septia Tri , Lestari Dewi Putri , Diniariwisan Damai
Published: June 2024

Vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is a fishery commodity that is the largest contributor to exports compared to other commodities. The success of shrimp survival and growth cannot be separated from the molting process, which requires calcium. The calcium that absorbed from the cultivation media can play a greater role in the process of exoskeleton formation. Dolomite lime (CaMg(CO3)) and tohor (CaO) can be sources of calcium that can be added to cultivation media. The research method used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 different treatments (A: without additional lime, B: 0.8 gr dolomite, C: 0.8 gr tohor, D: 0.3 gr dolomite + 0.5 gr of tohor, E: 0.5 gr of dolomite + 0.3 gr of tohor) with 3 repetitions. The results showed that the addition of lime at different doses provided a molting frequency ranging from 2.07 – 3.23 times during the 60 days rearing period, where treatment E was the optimum treatment. The absolute weight growth obtained ranged from 2.52 gr – 5.03 gr, with an absolute length of 5.25 cm – 9.11 cm. The highest survival rate during maintenance in treatment E reached 72%. The water quality conditions measured during the activity were alkalinity 135 – 146 ppm, Ca hardness 132.74 – 172.39 ppm, temperature 29.9 – 30.3°C, DO 6.3 – 6.5 mg/l, pH 7 .9 – 8.3 and salinity 32 -34 ppt.

Published: July 2024

Dada la necesidad de hacer un uso eficiente de los recursos destinados a la investigación experimental en el cultivo de caña de azúcar, se planteó esta investigación con el objetivo de determinar el tamaño óptimo de la parcela experimental en el cultivo de caña de azúcar en la región Brunca de Costa Rica. Durante la zafra 2018-2019 se estableció un ensayo experimental de uniformidad y se compararon cinco métodos: método de curvatura máxima, curvatura máxima del coeficiente de variación, regresión lineal con constante, regresión cuadrática con constante y método de máxima distancia. Los resultados indican que los estimadores más eficientes se obtuvieron con los modelos que consideran todos los tamaños y formas del ensayo de uniformidad ( ). Los modelos de regresión segmentada y regresión lineal con constante produjeron los mejores estimadores del tamaño óptimo de la parcela experimental: 72.16 y 93.22 m2, respectivamente. Con los otros tres métodos se obtuvieron diferencias considerables e inconsistentes en los tamaños de la parcela experimental. Con los métodos método de curvatura máxima y curvatura máxima del coeficiente de variación los resultados fueron tan pequeños: 14.01 y 12.5 m2 respectivamente, que resultan inadecuados para realizar la investigación en caña de azúcar, por el contrario, con el método de máxima distancia el tamaño obtenido fue 157.48 m2, ineficiente estadística y económicamente. Por lo tanto, los modelos regresión lineal con constante y regresión cuadrática con constante, son apropiados para la determinación del tamaño de parcela experimental en caña de azúcar. Se concluyó que el tamaño recomendable a utilizar en la zona es 72 m2. Esta investigación fue finalizada en diciembre de 2021.
Using I* For An Early Analysis Of Interoperability Requirements
Authors: Figueiredo Roberto de Cerqueira , Claro Daniela Barreiro , Maciel Rita Suzana Pitangueira , Leite Julio Cesar Sampaio do Prado
Published: July 2024

Interoperability is a desired quality when there are cooperating software components. Usually, interoperability is classified into three levels: syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic. The pragmatic level is challenging as it requires modeling contexts and intentions. Over the works we reviewed, some tackle intentions, others context, at different levels of abstraction. Our contribution lies in dealing with intentions and context based on distributed intentionality among the different cooperating components. Pragmatic interoperability depends on use, which varies depending on context and intention. As such, the notion of variability is key in dealing with this type of interoperability. This paper explores the early analysis of interoperability from the standpoint of a goal-based modeling strategy. Using a real case, we show how the models in i* allow for an early analysis of pragmatic interoperability, as modeled by intentions and contexts. A University campus surveillance case helped us to show how modeling helps in the derivation of pragmatic interoperability requirements.
Documentation Artifacts For Conversation-Related Requirements Specification in Chatbots
Authors: Gonçalves Larissa Pereira , Silva Geovana Ramos Sousa , Canedo Edna Dias
Published: July 2024

Context: Chatbots are complex applications due to their capacity to engage and maintain a conversation with humans. However, the conversational-related requirements of chatbots are hard to elicit, document, and test. Another challenge is the documentation since there are not so many directions on how to register and test subjective requirements. Methods: We followed systematic literature review (SLR) guidelines and identified 42 relevant papers that address the artifacts used by practitioners to document conversational-related requirements in literature. We also investigated what conversational requirements are addressed in requirements documentation. Results: The main results indicate that UML diagrams, prototypes, tables of requirements, conversational flows, and scenarios are present in most chatbot documentation. Except for UML diagrams, those artifacts are used to document standard requirements or conversational requirements. In those artifacts, context-dependent behavior, assertivity, error handling, and human-like attitude are the most approached conversational requirements in the studies. In sequence, based on our findings, we propose the conversational integrated map, a meta-model solution as documentation of conversational requirements.

Published: July 2024

Context: Requirements documentation in natural language has diverse artifacts, but few studies address their suitability to types of requirements or ease of communication. Methods: We conducted a systematic tertiary literature review (STLR) and identified 22 relevant review papers that address natural language artifacts used by practitioners to document software requirements. We also investigated which types of requirements are addressed by artifacts and if there are guidelines for each. Results: A variety of artifacts used for this purpose were identified, of which the most referenced in the literature were diagrams, use cases, conceptual models, user stories, and prototypes. The analysis highlighted that artifacts are applied differently to functional and non-functional requirements. In general, diagrams, use cases, scenarios, and prototypes can be used for both types of requirements, depending on the content (usability, security, etc.). However, user stories and derived artifacts are more recommended for functional requirements and have limitations for non-functional requirements. Conclusion: Furthermore, the study explored different guidelines, structures, and formats used in documentation artifacts, reflecting the diversity in requirements documentation practices in software projects.

Published: July 2024

Em muitas organizações, a infraestrutura de TI é um ponto crítico e está sujeita a monitoramento contínuo no processo de gestão estratégica de riscos. Ela deve ser capaz de fornecer suporte a serviços e sistemas de forma segura, com alto desempenho e baixa latência. Assim, as abordagens tradicionais de infraestrutura de TI, conhecidas como on-premise, precisam ser otimizadas, aliadas ao suporte dos serviços em nuvem. No contexto da administração pública federal no Brasil e da indústria farmacêutica, essa combinação é ainda mais desafiadora, pois envolve orientações de órgãos reguladores – como a Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA), que se preocupa em manter as Boas Práticas de Fabricação dos produtos farmacêuticos (BPF) – e regulamentações recentes ou de certo modo incipientes do Governo Federal Brasileiro, quando se trata do uso de serviços em nuvem. Este trabalho, portanto, propõe uma estratégia de migração da infraestrutura de TI on-premise para multicloud, passando pelas fases da Engenharia de Requisitos (elicitação, análise e negociação, documentação, verificação e validação), a fim de gerenciar os principais aspectos jurídicos, financeiros e técnicos, incluindo equipamentos de rede, servidores, aplicações e serviços de suporte na indústria pública farmacêutica.
Multi-Word Entity Extraction And Rich Relationship Identification To Derive Conceptual Models From Natural Language Specifications

Published: July 2024

Requirements engineering is a critical phase in software development. Errors in requirements specifications may become costly problems later on; therefore, such errors should be found and corrected early in the engineering process. Describing requirements in natural language is propitious for both the domain experts and the software development team. However, natural language may give rise to diverse interpretations as a consequence of the different backgrounds of the two participants involved. It is therefore necessary to provide guidance on the specification of unambiguous requirements. In previous work, we have advanced the notion of kernel sentences as an appropriate structure for the specification of knowledge. We have also discussed conceptual models as a useful technique to summarize specifications so that all participants have a concise overview of the domain. To achieve consistent and coherent specifications, we presented a two-step method: first compliance with kernel format is checked, and then a conceptual model is derived to summarize the knowledge gathered. This paper extends the conceptual model previously derived from kernel sentences by identifying multi-word entities and establishing various new relationships among entities. This is intended to help achieve better quality specifications. We also describe a prototype that uses natural language processing and artificial intelligence tools to support the method. Finally, we present the results of a preliminary evaluation of our method, which show a promising applicability.

Authors: Taiwo NA , Jimoh OS , Ogunfunmilayo TA , Lemboye-Bello RT , Taiwo OO , Alayo AM
Published: July 2024

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is a known iatrogenic condition resulting predominantly from an exaggerated response to ovarian stimulation during fertility care. The pathology is characterized by increased capillary permeability, resulting in fluid leakage from the vascular compartment, with third-space fluid accumulation and haemoconcentration. We report a case of severe OHSS in a 33-year-old Para 0+2 woman following in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. She was presented with abdominal pain and distension, dyspnoea, jaundice, reduced urinary output as well as sonographic features of enlarged ovaries with ascites. She had a miscarriage 20 hours before the presentation and recovered fully with multidisciplinary treatment, including haemodialysis.
Though OHSS is rare and unpredictable, with varying morbidity and mortality rates, it is pertinent that proper patient selection, early diagnosis, and timely intervention may prevent or lessen some complications associated with this condition.

Published: June 2024

Addison’s disease, a rare endocrine disorder, presents a myriad of symptoms that can often be nonspecific and challenging for diagnosis. We present a case of an 11-year-old male child born out of 5th degree consanguineous marriage, who presented with multiple symptoms over a period of months. The patient initially complained of blackish discoloration of nails for 4 months, which was followed by a fall from steps 2 months prior to admission. Subsequently, he experienced generalized weakness, loss of memory, and froathing 1 month prior to admission. Most concerning, the patient developed fever and loss of consciousness in the last day before presentation to the hospital. The patient was diagnosed with Addison’s disease, an uncommon disorder in pediatric populations. This case highlights the complex presentation of Addison’s disease in pediatric patients and underscores the importance of considering this diagnosis in cases of unexplained hyperpigmentation and systemic symptoms, especially in consanguineous populations, even in the absence of typical signs. This report aims to increase awareness among healthcare providers regarding the diverse presentations of Addison’s disease, particularly in pediatric patients, to facilitate prompt diagnosis and management.
Crop recommendation system for growing best suitable crop
Authors: Yash Gupta  , Garima Srivastava
Published: June 2024

Agriculture is critical to ensuring global food security and financial stability, but faces significant challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and population growth. To address these issues, crop recommendation systems have proven to be valuable tools to help farmers decide which crops to plant. These systems aim to increase crop yields and make better use of resources. This report offers an in-depth look at these promising crops, covering their importance, opportunities, challenges and future prospects. By analyzing existing research and case studies, we hope to provide a clearer understanding of the current consensus and suggest areas for further study and development. A crop recommendation system is essentially a decision-making tool for farmers. It helps them select the best crops to grow based on factors such as soil type, climate, available resources and market demand. These systems use data analytics, machine learning and agronomic knowledge to analyze input parameters provided by farmers and then generate personalized recommendations. Using historical data, weather forecasts, soil quality assessments and crop performance models, the system aims to increase agricultural productivity, reduce risk and increase profitability for farmers. By easily integrating into digital platforms and mobile applications, crop recommendation systems enable farmers to make informed decisions and adapt to changing environmental conditions, promoting sustainable agriculture and food security.
Exploring potentials to enhance fish sauce industry in Sri Lanka: A review
Authors: Pathumi Ariyarathna  , Himashani Shamika  , Uditha Karunasena
Published: June 2024

Fish sauce, an amber-colored liquid derived from the fermentation of fish with sea salt, is a vital condiment in Southeast Asian and East Asian cuisines. Despite its culinary importance, fish sauce remains underutilized in Sri Lanka, where it is predominantly imported, resulting in high costs and substantial foreign exchange outflows. The technology for fish sauce production is relatively simple, presenting an opportunity for local production using abundant fish resources. Various types of fish, including marine, freshwater, and shellfish, are used globally in fish sauce production, and it could harness the nutritional benefits of fish, transforming underutilized species into a valuable condiment. The production process of fish sauce involves salting, fermenting, maturing, filtering, and blending, resulting in a product rich in hydrolyzed proteins and essential minerals. Quality standards are regulated to ensure safety and purity, with a focus on maintaining the distinctive fishy odor and taste characteristic of pure fish sauce. Establishing a local fish sauce industry in Sri Lanka promises economic growth and culinary enrichment. By leveraging local fish resources and employing cost-effective production methods, Sri Lanka can reduce imports of fish sauce, and can utilize fish in a sustainable manner.
The danger of microwave ovens in relation to free radicals formation, cellular inflammation, cancer initiation, and cancer progression
Authors: Oyindamola Olaniyi Oyesaga
Published: June 2024

The US National Cancer Institute defines cancer as a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and then spread to other parts of the body. Cancer is a major cause of death globally and based on the World Health Organization (WHO) most recent data it accounts for about 10 million deaths annually. Cancer is a disorder of cell growth and behaviour, so its ultimate cause has to be defined at the cellular and subcellular levels. The focus of this review is on the danger of microwave ovens as a major source of free radicals in food, which then eventually leads to cellular inflammation, cancer initiation, and cancer progression. Man-made microwave and radiofrequency radiation technologies have been steadily increasing with the growing demand for electronic appliances such as microwave oven. Research have shown that these appliances affect biological systems by increasing free radicals formation, thus leading to oxidative damage. Cancer is a multistage disease which includes initiation, promotion, and progression. Free radicals in the form of ROS and ORF usually lead to cellular inflammation. Free radicals also lead to DNA damage, gene mutation, and mitochondrial damage. Food prepared or heated in microwave ovens are a major source of free radicals. Hence, the need for people to reduce or totally stop the usage of microwave ovens, especially those already diagnosed with cancer disease. Various research findings support the clinical observations of the author as it relates to the causes and management of cancer disease. The findings also confirm anecdotal evidences on the link between cancer disease and the usage of microwave ovens.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal neoplasms are a group of malignant pathologies that cause high indices of morbimortality throughout the world. when diagnosed around 35% of cancer patients are classified as stage IV. Knowing the increasing incidence of gastrointestinal tumors and the need to offer care to those in advanced stages, it was necessary to characterize the palliative care offered to stage IV gastrointestinal cancer patients in the southern region of Colombia Materials and methods: All patients with ICD-10 diagnosis of esophageal, gastric, colon and rectum cancer classified as clinical stage IV. Data collection was obtained from the clinical records of the patients and registered into an excel Version 15.31 design instrument. Data was analyzed using standard descriptive statistics. Statistical analysis were performed using Stata 15 ®. Results: 285 were included. majority were male 63.16%, the average age was 61.08 years. The most frequent tumors found were those located in the stomach corresponding to 54.74% of the cases and of these the antral tumors were most reported 19.3%. The palliative management strategies for the group of patients studied were mostly aimed at medical management, especially related to comfort support measures in 55.09% Conclusions: Stage IV gastrointestinal neoplasms were characterized alongside with their palliation strategies. The most frequent palliation treatment was based on comfort measures, invasive strategies are considered an option. More studies are required to optimize the data collection and diminish bias risk.
Vedic Contributions to Geometry: Unveiling the Origins of Mathematics
Authors: Srivas Krishna Das Brahmacari
Published: June 2024

The historical origins of foundational mathematical principles often lie obscured in the past. Among the luminaries in this nebulous landscape were Vedic mathematicians like Baudhāyana, Bhāṣkarācārya, Brahmagupta, Aryabhata, Pāṇini, Kātyāyana, and Āpastamba, eminent figures and sages of their time. Baudhāyana, in particular, is revered for his seminal contributions, prominently through the Baudhāyana Sulba Sūtra. This compendium of mathematical and ritualistic precepts predates the. The Baudhāyana Sulba Sūtra text belongs to the ritualistic ethos of Vedic Hinduism, yet it contains profound geometric theorems that expose the multifaceted genius of Baudhāyana. A scholarly endeavor has been an exegetical exercise on the mathematical corpus left by Baudhāyana, which throws new light on his pivotal role in shaping the contours of mathematical discourse within the antiquity of our civilization. This research helps us to enrich our knowledge about Vedic mathematical thinking and its intricate relationship with cultural and spiritual traditions.
Technology-based gamification in sleep medicine: A useful tool for physicians?
Authors: Arjun Puri  , Sanjana Gandhi  , Gary Goldstein
Published: June 2024

In recent years, individuals’ nightly sleep quality, hygiene and duration have declined significantly. Gamification, the addition of game-based elements to non-game contexts, is an emerging tool in medical education and may be readily applicable to sleep medicine. Initially developed for use in retail and education, gamification increases productivity and knowledge acquisition and retention. Between the dates of 12/16/2023 and 03/27/2024, we conducted a focused review of eleven recent studies investigating the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of technology-based gamification interventions in improving subjects’ sleep duration, quality, and hygiene. Some studies focused primarily on imparting information while others sought to gamify user incentives. Most interventions were effective in improving user knowledge and sleep hygiene, were feasible to implement, and had high acceptability among subjects, measured through qualitative and quantitative data metrics. Effective media included mobile applications, wearable technology, and console-based exercise games (“exergames”). Although valid concerns exist regarding use of technology near bedtime, technology-based games designed for daytime usage offer more immersive experiences and increased user engagement. In the future, we anticipate increased use of gamification by primary care physicians, sleep physicians, and psychologists, particularly in rural areas, within pediatric sleep medicine, and to augment traditional cognitive behavioral therapy. New research should examine the addition of gamification to sleep-focused telemedicine and school-based educational sleep interventions.

Authors: J. Suresh Kumar  , D. Shobana
Published: June 2024

This study explores the integration of green education in India as a crucial pathway to sustainable development. Given the country's rapid industrialization and urbanisation, environmental education is essential for raising awareness and promoting sustainable practices among the younger population. The research examines current initiatives such as the National Green Corps and the Green Schools Programme, which aim to embed environmental consciousness in the education system. However, significant challenges such as resource constraints, inadequate curriculum integration, and insufficient teacher training hinder the effectiveness of these programs. The study suggests a multifaceted approach to address these challenges, including stronger policy support, innovative teaching methods, public-private partnerships, and community involvement. By enhancing green education, India can better equip its youth to address environmental issues, fostering a culture of sustainability that is essential for the country's long-term environmental health.
