Published: October 2020

Number plate recognition brings a drastic improvement for the city traffic enhancement. It provides the direction in which the steps should be taken for working of an effective intelligent transportation system. ANPR have become necessity for traffic control management due to rapid increment of vehicles. The main aim of ANPR is to monitor traffic and for security purpose. Recognition of number plate uses image processing techniques and latest technology in detecting characters on vehicle license plates automatically. In recent years, there are many technological developments in recognizing license plate area of research. Image processing protocols like OCR technology allow the traffic surveillance to deal with several problems that occurs in criminal investigation, toll collection, monitoring traffic, controlling speed, parking management etc. For efficient management of traffic and mass surveillance in transportation system, an ANPR system is essential. With the aid of image processing algorithms and vehicle images dataset, it becomes possible to monitor traffic at a large scale. Vehicle images are helpful for recognizing characters on license plates by performing image segmentation, feature extraction and character recognition. Data collected through captured images are utilized in the commercial applications, law enforcement, traffic applications etc. The software examines the vehicle picture as an input image that results in displaying the plate numbers. The system with image processing used reliably for traffic detection where modification of the technologies enables an accurate acknowledgement of vehicle number plates. There are several ANPR systems developed, working on character recognition of LP by the help of image processing technique. This paper reviews the performance by researchers in this particular area towards meeting goals of transportation system. It also provides major issues and challenges in this field.

Derivation and Implementation of a Linear Multistep Numerical Scheme of Order 12
Authors: Emmanuel Jacob , Alexander Okhuese Victor
Published: October 2020

A great many physical occurrences give rise to problems that often result in differential equations. When we solve a differential equation, we are in effect solving the physical problem it represents. Traditionally, solutions to differential equations were derived using analytical or exact methods. These solutions are often useful as they provide excellent insight into the behavior of some systems. However, certain differential equations are very difficult to solve by any means other than an approximate solution by the application of numerical methods. These methods can be classified into two thus: One-step and multistep methods. However, in this work, our focus is on a class of multistep methods known as the Linear Multi-step Methods. We thus use Taylor series expansion to derive a linear multistep method of order 12. The method is tested for consistency and zero-stability in order to establish its convergence. Also, provided are some examples of problems solved using the new scheme, and the results compared with exact solution.

Published: October 2020

Today it is possible to position wireless devices such as smartphones in an outdoor environment, using GPS, global positioning system.[1] Unfortunately this technology does not work in indoor environments. Being able to navigate smartphones indoors could be beneficial in many different environments. In hospitals when tracking hospital beds and patients, in prisons in order to track prisoners, in malls when a customer is searching for a store etc.[1] Indoor navigation could also be used to analyze human behavior. There are many different methods and techniques existing today that could benefit to an indoor navigation solution, all of them providing different results. Some are friendlier towards larger scaled areas providing less satisfying precision, meanwhile others provide higher precision but increases significantly in cost for larger scaled areas. In this project a significant amount of time was spent on researching different techniques for indoor positioning as well as analyzing the current state of the art and the[2] market of existing indoor positioning solutions. It provided a fully working solution to position on device. It created by the structure of the building and different objects in the indoor environment, together with a set of maps use to navigate. The work has resulted in a fully working server together with an android application.[3] The solution is an interesting approach to indoor navigation. It is fast and easy to set up and performs reasonably well compared to similar solutions.[4]

The paper is about the development of the performance monitoring tool for ubuntu operating system. Monitoring the performance of operating systems and processes is very much essential to debug processes and systems, constructively manage system resources, making system decisions, and evaluating and examining systems. In a system, processes are the main resource holder, and most monitoring is done at the process level. This information is used by Linux operating systems while they are running to perform effective memory management, scheduling, multitasking, and many other important decisions. In addition to that, performance monitoring is useful while developing and redefining the systems, and it provides support to user during everyday operation. Recordings of operating system and process performance can be used to evaluate changes to the system and allow meticulous comparisons to other systems. The performance tool can also be used to predict the performance of similar systems and what type of performance gains may be expected in the future.
Investigating differential linguistic patterns exhibited by Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) Patients and building a Long Short Term Memory Network + Convolutional Neural Network Model, Logistic Regression model, and a Multinomial Naive Bayes Classifier Algorithm to develop Spero, a hybrid app based Early-MDD diagnosis system
Authors: Garg Shivam , Raigosa Ashley , Aiman Rimsha
Published: October 2020

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), otherwise known as Depression, is the leading psychiatric disorder globally in terms of the number of individuals it affects. Despite this there is no effective and reliable early diagnostics system for MDD. Hence, through this study, we aimed to fill this void by not only investigating linguistic differences in posts made on social media by people exhibiting and people not exhibiting symptoms of MDD but also by developing various machine learning architectures to build an accessible, sensitive, and accurate MDD early diagnostics system. Through the differential linguistic analysis we conducted on the dataset we manually scraped and filtered, we clearly demonstrated that there indeed were certain linguistic and topical features that were different amongst depressed and healthy patients. Furthermore, we also successfully built three different ML Algorithms in which our Long Short Term Memory Network (LSTM) + Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Model attained an accuracy of 95.00%, our Multinomial Naive Bayes Classifier Algorithm attained an accuracy of 92%, and our Logistic Regression Model achieved an accuracy of 87.627%. Ultimately, given the LSTM + CNN Model’s high accuracy, weighted precision (0.95), recall (0.95), and f-1 score (0.95), we decided to integrate it into an app built on Swift UI to develop Spero, a first of its kind early diagnostics system for MDD.

– 2018
Authors: Salih Mahdi Basheer Hazzam
Published: October 2020

The study aims to describe and analyze the governance indicators in OIC countries
during the 1996-2018 period based on the data of World Governance Indicators (WGI). The
descriptive-analytical approach had been adopted for using statistical methods to
analyze the level and evolution of governance indicators. The researcher relied on
aggregated indicators of governance based on the six sub-indicators of WGI indicators
and then classified the level of governance in the OIC countries into four levels. The
study reaped a number of results, the most important of them are: i) In general, the
level of the aggregate index of governance in the OIC is lower than the world average by
0.62 and 0.70 points in 1996 and 2018, respectively; ii) Most Islamic countries fall
within the low level of governance, and there is no Islamic country in the first level
of governance (very high); iii) the average of governance index in Islamic countries
declined by (0.07) points between 1996 and 2018. The study recommended that Islamic
countries shall adopt policies aiming at improving public governance and combating
corruption, by taking advantage from the sub-indicators of governance. The researchers
also recommended to develop indicators of governance that are compatible with the
principles of the Islamic Law and that can be used by the OIC. Keywords: Governance
indicators, Islamic countries, OIC countries, Voice and Accountability, Political
Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory
Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption.

Culture Shock, Adaptation, and Self-Concept of Tourism Human Resources in Welcoming the New Normal Era
Authors: Simanjuntak Diana , Fitriana Rina
Published: October 2020

As a business that relies on human mobility, the tourism sector has proven to be severely affected by the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The paralysis of tourism both nationally and globally as a result of the lockdown policy in various countries and the Large-Scale Social Restriction (LSSR) policy in Indonesia affects the operations of tourism businesses. This has raised high anxiety for Tourism Human Resources about the future of the tourism business. This research discusses culture shock, adaptation, and self-concept of Tourism Human Resources in welcoming the new normal era from a communication perspective, both related to intercultural communication, interpersonal communication, and self-concept as part of communication psychology. This research used a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, field observations, and document study through WhatsApp messages in several professional association groups, webinars, and mass media. The key informants in the research were 14 people as primary data and more than 200 members of the WhatsApp group “Housekeepers Jabar” as secondary data. The results of this research showed that Tourism Human Resources suffered from a culture shock and reached its lowest point in March to mid-April, but rose slowly from late April to June. There are three very stressful aspects of their life, consisting of cultural, social, and economic aspects. Cultural and social aspects are relatively easier to overcome, but the economic aspects are the most impactful because it concerns the sustainability of their life and their families. The period of awareness in the adaptation process is a period of struggle, creativity, and action so that many of them switch professions to run online businesses. This period is still ongoing and it is not known how long it will end. Positive self-concept plays an important role in a person’s success in adapting to survive because it helps a person to be resilient, patient, courageous, and creative in finding solutions in facing challenges thus opening up greater opportunities to successfully solve the problems.

Authors: Matošević Damir , Kralik Davor , Rapčan Irena , Jovičić Daria
Published: October 2020

Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi prinos bioplina i metana iz gnojovke s dodatkom tri vrste vodenih biljaka (Spirodela polyrhiza, Azolla caroliniana i Lemna minor). Uzgoj tradicionalno korištenih biljaka (npr. kukuruz, uljana repica) za dobivanje biogoriva zahtijeva obradive površine, dok se vodene biljke, kao alternativa, mogu prikupiti iz prirode, a zbog jednostavne građe, brzine rasta i povoljnog kemijskog sastava mogu se bez pred-tretmana koristiti kao osnovna ili dopunska sirovina u bioplinskim postrojenjima. Četiri uzorka (kontrola i tri vrste vodenih biljaka) u tri ponavljanja povrgnuta su anaerobnoj digestiji. Različite vrste proizvode različite količine bioplina u odnosu na kontrolu (od 504,83 do 881,62 mL g-1 S.T.). Udio dobivenog metana iznosi od 57,96 do 60,63 % u zavisnosti od biljne vrste. Ovo ukazuje na izuzetan potencijal korištenja ovih vrsta za dobivanje bioplina i metana.

El desarrollo de las tecnologías de la comunicación, sitúan a la educación en un proceso de transformación que requiere otras formas de lenguaje, los procesos educativos están expuestos a nuevos retos, demandan el uso de recursos que propicien espacios participativos e interactivos; este artículo estudia elementos que integran las leyendas del proyecto Ilustración de Leyendas Riobambeñas, como estrategia para el fortalecimiento de la identidad en la población infantil de Riobamba. El objetivo es evaluar el uso de metodologías de enseñanza interactiva desde nuevos espacios y escenarios de aprendizaje, que fortalezcan la identidad cultural entre los niños en edad escolar. La metodología de la investigación es cuali-cuantitativa, documental, etnográfica y de contenido; la información ha sido contrastada con los resultados de la aplicación de encuestas y técnicas de observación, que permitieron interpretar y comparar los datos con los obtenidos en las fichas documentales validadas para este efecto e identificar las circunstancias en que suceden los procesos de lectura en la población estudiada. El resultado muestra la importancia del uso de metodologías interactivas en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y cómo los recursos multimedia animan a la lectura, construyen procesos de aprendizaje dialógico y son portadores de sentido de pertinencia en la transmisión de las leyendas.
Käytännöllisen tiedon luonne
Authors: Sarvimäki Anneli
Published: October 2020

Artikkeli lähtee klassisesta tiedon määritelmästä, joka todetaan liian suppeaksi määrittelemään kaikkea tietoa. Käytännöllisillä aloilla tarvitaan laajempaa tietokäsitettä. Filosofian historiassa käytännöllistä tietoa ovat analysoineet mm. Platon, Aristoteles, Vico ja Kant. Käytännöllinen kasvatustieto määritellään laajaksi yhteiskunnalliseksi ja moraaliseksi tiedoksi, johon sisältyy tekninen taito. Määritelmä pohjautuu näkemykseen kasvatuksesta moraalisena elämänmuotona. Käytännöllinen tieto on organisoitu toimintakaavoihin ja traditioihin ja se ilmenee adekvaattina toimintana.
Oleminen ja oppiminen
Authors: Jarvis Peter
Published: October 2020

Artikkeli on tutkimus oppimisen filosofiasta. Siinä esitetään vain muutamia väitteitä itse oppimisesta mutta yritetään löytää sen suhde inhimilliseen olemiseen. Suurimman osan ajasta ihmiset oppivat, sillä he eivät elä sopusoinnussa ympäristönsä kanssa. Juuri tämä saa aikaan ongelmatilanteen, josta oppimisprosessi alkaa.
Työväen sivistystyön ja yhdentyvä Eurooppa
Authors: Turunen Jorma
Published: October 2020

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan koulutuksen, kulttuurin ja kansansivistystyön asemaa yhdentyvässä Euroopassa. Kirjoittajan mukaan kansalliset kulttuurit näyttävät tulevaisuudessakin säilyttävän asemansa. Erityisesti tarkastellaan työväen sivistystyön asemaa ja mahdollisuuksia tässä muuttuvassa tilanteessa. Kirjoittajan mukaan tulisi ennakkoluulottomasti pohtia integraatiokehityksen vaikutuksia pohjoismaisiin yhteiskuntiin. Tärkeänä pidetään kielten opetuksen lisäämistä ja monipuolistamista sekä muiden kansainvälisessä yhteistyössä tarvittavien valmiuksien kehittämistä.

Published: October 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis aspek biologi Siganidae meliputi hubungan panjang-berat, nisbah kelamin, tingkat kematangan gonad (TKG), ukuran pertama kali ikan tertangkap (Lc) dan ukuran pertama kali ikan matang gonad (Lm). Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Maret sampai dengan bulan Mei 2019 di Perairan Maluku. Metode penelitian untuk pengambilan ikan contoh menggunakan metode sensus yaitu dengan melakukan pengamatan atau observasi di lapangan terhadap sampel ikan yang didapatkan keseluruhan, Analisis hubungan panjang berat  menggunakan Model allometric linear, rasio kelamin dilakukan dengan membandingkan jumlah antara ikan jantan dan betina per bulan dan kelas panjang, Analisis panjang ikan pertama kali tertangkap (Lc) dianalisis berdasarkan metode Beverton dan Holt, 1957 dan Anasisis ukuran pertama kali matang gonad (Lm) dapat diduga dengan rumus Spearman-Karber.Hasil dari peneilitian ini S. lineatus dan S. canaliculatus  memiliki pola pertumbuhan allometrik negatif. Nisbah kelamin pada S. lineatus dan S. canaliculatus berurutan yaitu 1:1,37 dan 1:1. Tingkat kematangan gonad yang diamati menggunakan TKG dari Cassie menunjukkan Siganus lineatus dan Siganus canaliculatus lebih dominan pada TKG V.

Possibilidades teórico-metodológicas para análises das políticas educacionais em diferentes contextos: como as escolas fazem as políticas
Authors: Souza Elias Bezerra de , Batista Eliane Regina Martins
Published: October 2020

As políticas educacionais vêm sendo objeto de constantes estudos e investigações há muito tempo, contudo há determinadas opções teóricas e metodológicas que nem sempre privilegiam diferentes contextos produtores e mobilizadores de políticas educacionais, a exemplo de professores e alunos em diferentes instituições escolares. E esse olhar é privilegiado por Ball, Maguirre e Braun no livro Como as escolas fazem as políticas, com análise rica e sustentada na perspectiva pós-estruturalista, o qual avança para além de críticas que focalizam o olhar em processos centralizadores, estatais e fixos, demonstrando que há diferentes sujeitos que as encenam e as traduzem para contextos escolares distintos, evidenciando não apenas as relações de força/poder das políticas de comportamento, mas também identificando os embates e a influência de artefatos e microtecnologias de políticas nas escolas secundárias. Portanto, neste artigo objetiva-se apresentar a resenha desta obra que vem contribuindo com as pesquisas na área de políticas educacionais e curriculares em diferentes países.

O Alouatta belzebul é uma espécie classificada como “Vulnerável” e isso se justifica principalmente pela caça, fragmentação e perda do hábitat nas florestas tropicais. A anatomia deste gênero apresenta características peculiares em todas as espécies estudadas, assim este trabalho objetivou descrever a morfologia do tubo digestório de Alouatta belzebul a fim de fornecer subsídios para avaliação de dietas, realização de procedimentos clínicos e cirúrgicos nestes animais. Foram utilizados 10 espécimes de Alouatta belzebul, adultos, machos, de diferentes idade. O trabalho foi realizado na Universidade Federal de Goiás e aprovado no comitê de ética N.083∕17. Os animais previamente criopreservados, foram descongelados e fixados por meio da infusão intramuscular e intracavitária de solução aquosa de folmol a 10%. Existem diversas variações na anatomia macroscópica do tubo digestório entre os primatas e estas variações ocorrem de acordo com os hábitos alimentares. Em Alouatta belzebul, que são folívoros-frugívoros, o tubo digestório abrange a maior parte da cavidade abdominal. Estes animais possuem números variáveis de rugas palatinas, de 10 a 17 pares de rugas, independente do sexo e idade, valores estes diferentes dos relatados para Sapajus libidinosus, de 18 a 21 pares de rugas. O estômago pseudo-compartimentalizado com uma região glandular e duas aglandulares, assemelhando com os achados de Nasalis larvatus. O intestino grosso apresenta o ceco aumentado em formato de L, corroborando com os achados em Callithrix penicillata. Os resultados demonstram que as variações estruturais do tubo digestório ocorrem de acordo com o hábito alimentar das diferentes espécies.
Genetic and pharmacogenetic counselling in psychiatric practice
Authors: Pawlak Joanna M. , Twarowska-Hauser Joanna W.
Published: October 2020

Genetic research in psychiatry has been developing intensively for over 30 years. The social knowledge on the role of genes in the predisposition to diseases and their importance for treatment effects increases. Psychiatric genetic counselling is a service provided under healthcare around the world. The aim of this paper is to present psychiatric genetic counselling, its role for patients and its application in the clinical practice at the current state of knowledge. We discuss these aspects of genetic consultation which relate to mental health. Psychiatric genetic counselling is rarely available in the Polish psychiatric care system and access to specialist training is limited. We indicate that the patient’s adaptation to the genetic burden can bring potential benefits, e.g. better compliance with doctor’s prescriptions. Based on current expert recommendations, we discuss pharmacogenetic tests which are useful in clinical practice. In particular, we analyse the polymorphisms of CYP2D6, CYP2C19 and histocompatibility complex genes HLA.
Hypersexuality and pharmacological treatment options

Published: October 2020

Objectives. There are no standardised guidelines regarding the pharmacotherapy of compulsive sexual behaviour. The paper aims to review the available literature concerning the treatment of excessive sexual activity disorders. Specific mechanisms underlying hypersexuality and the consequent potential differences in its treatment were considered.
Literature review. The classification of sexual disorders related to excessive sexual activity is rather problematic. Both DSM-5 and ICD-11 lack in a homogenous classification of this disorder. Currently, the safest and most beneficial drugs for patients with non-paraphilic disorders seem to be SSRI medications. Drugs presenting an antiandrogenic action (LHRH) are not recommended due to their side effects, apart from cases proceeding with severe symptoms. Promising results were obtained in a trial with naltrexone; yet, the study did not fulfil methodological norms. Other medications used in the treatment of hypersexuality are of minor importance; however, they may be used especially when psychiatric comorbidities are present.
Conclusions. The best effects in the treatment of compulsive sexual behaviour are obtained with the combination of psychotherapy and SSRI drugs. Few methodologically correct studies have been performed. Most studies are carried out on small groups and fail to use methods which would enable to compare various therapeutic options. Research on the pharmacotherapy of non-paraphilic hypersexuality should be continued, especially regarding drugs which may act on the obsessive-compulsive mechanism.
