Statistical feature-based EEG signals classification using ANN and SVM classifiers for Parkinson’s disease detection
Authors: Haloi Rupjyoti , Chanda Dipankar , Hazarika Jupitara , Barman Anup Kumar
Published: July 2023

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder which is progressive in nature. Although there is no cure to this disease, symptomatic treatments are available. These treatments can slow the progressive development of the symptoms. Medications can treat some of the symptoms of the PD up to a great extent that in turn may help the patients to live a normal life. Besides these medications, the patients can also be provided with various therapies based on the types of their symptoms. But for providing any treatment, detection of its symptoms at an early stage is very important. This can reduce its future complexities considerably. Early diagnosis along with proper medications may treat the symptoms of PD significantly. This motivates to propose a new and effective methodology for detection and analysis of PD. In this work, an approach has been proposed for identification of PD patients by using Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Here, the EEG signals of normal persons and PD patients are processed in three stages. First, the raw EEG signals are pre-processed for removal of noises and artefacts present. Out of various techniques, Wavelet transform is used for this purpose. In the MATLAB environment, de-noising can be executed by using the in-built functions. Performances of the de-noising techniques are examined with the performance parameters namely Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) as well as Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). In the second stage, statistical features are extracted from the pre-processed EEG signals. In this work, five statistical features are considered for performing the classification. In the final stage, the extracted features are classified using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques. ANN is an efficient classifier that predicts the human brain's working manners. SVM on the other hand has been proven as one of the most prevailing classification algorithms that gives highly accurate and robust results. This is a novel approach of analyzing the performances of the classification techniques by evaluating the best performing feature. In both the classifiers accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity are calculated from the confusion matrix evaluated from the values of the statistical features. In ANN, results using six different training algorithms at different hidden layers are calculated and compared. This proves the training algorithm Levenberg-Marquardt back-propagation with hidden layer 20 as the best combination for performing the classification. From the results it is seen that both ANN and SVM classifiers provide significant classification accuracies of 94.7% and 96.5% respectively. Amongst the five considered features, Mean performs the best in terms of classification accuracy.
Exploration of ethno-medicinal herbs and their practices by indigenous people of Achanakmar regions of Chhattisgarh State, India
Authors: Shriwas Jagesh Kumar , Sharma Lata , Acharya Chandan Kumar
Published: July 2023

The study was performed in the Achanakmar regions of Chhattisgarh state, India.  At the study site, a total of 54 herbaceous medicinal plants belonging to 30 families were documented. Between March 2020 and March 2022, intensive field surveys were conducted in the research areas. Native knowledge of wild medicinal plants was obtained on field trips through questionnaires, discussions, and in-person interviews. In accordance with their correct nomenclature, plants were organized according to their botanical name, family, common name, parts used and diseases treated. The Zingiberaceae family was the most prevalent in the current study, accounting for 5 plant species used by the region's indigenous people. This was followed by the Amaranthaceae, Acanthaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae and Lamiaceae families, each representing 3 species of plants. For a longer period of time, the rural residents of the Achanakmar region have used native flora for primary healthcare and the treatment of various diseases. However, there was little information about traditional knowledge of medicinal plants documented. Rural Achanakmar people asserted that younger generations are less interested in traditional knowledge of medicinal herbs due to societal development. Therefore, it is crucial to document ethnomedicinal plants before they are no longer available and go extinct. In order to effectively conserve plants and traditional knowledge for the future, this ethnobotanical database will be helpful to scientists, naturalists, planners, policymakers, and chemists.
Epistemic Logics with Quantification Over Epistemic Operators: Decidability and Expressiveness
Authors: Shtakser Gennady
Published: July 2023

The optimal balance between decidability and expressiveness is a big problem of logical systems, in particular, of quantified epistemic logics (QELs). On the one hand, decidability is a very significant characteristic of logics that allows us to use such logics in the framework of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, QELs have important expressive capabilities that should not be lost when we construct decidable fragments of these logics. QELs are known to be much more expressive than first-order logics. One important example of their extra expressive power is that they allow us to distinguish between de dicto and de re readings of epistemic sentences. It is clear that such capabilities should be preserved as much as possible in decidable fragments. In this paper, we consider extensions of QELs that include quantification over modalities. Denote this extensions by QELs. QELs allows us to make more subtle distinctions between de dicto and de re readings of epistemic sentences, and we also should keep these new features as much as possible in decidable fragments. It is known that there are not much interesting decidable QELs. The situation with QELs is the same. But in recent years (after 2018), we have obtained a variety of decidable QELs constructed in different ways. We distinguish between (1) the approach in which for every undecidable QEL and for every variant of its decidable fragment, a specific proof is constructed, and (2) the approach in which a class of decidable QELs is obtained using general tools and a uniform method for all QELs of this class. In this paper, we compare the results of these approaches.

Published: July 2023

Surface disinfection is a relevant measure for the inactivation of microorganisms and viruses. This procedure is used almost everywhere, from water treatment facilities to medical institutions and public facilities. The disadvantage of these measures is the increased corrosion of the contact surfaces, often made of stainless steels and accompanied by the leaching of heavy metals from them. According to WHO recommendations, the largest amount of disinfectants is hypochlorite solutions. The article investigates the corrosive effect of disinfectants on stainless steels of the 300th series. For research, chlorine-containing solutions were used at a concentration of 2 wt.% in terms of hypochlorite ion and ozone-saturated water as an alternative disinfectant solution. The research results showed that solutions of sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite have the greatest corrosion effect on the studied stainless steels. In this case, the largest amount of leachable metals from the studied steels occurs when using a solution of calcium hypochlorite. The use of water saturated with ozone does not lead to the washing out of heavy metals from all the studied steels.

Kalıcı organik kirleticiler (KOK'lar), biyolojik olarak parçalanmamaları nedeniyle çevrede daha uzun süre kalabilen organik kimyasallardır. Polibromlu dibenzo-p-dioksinler/furanlar (PBDD/F’ler), istemeden üretilen ve Stockholm Sözleşmesi'ne henüz dahil olmamış kirleticilerdir. PBDD/F’ler poliklorlu dibenzo-p-dioksinler/furanlar (PCDD/F'ler) gibi kalıcı halojenize organik kirleticiler olup, lipofilik ve biyoakümülatif özelliklerinden ötürü besin zincirlerinde birikerek insan sağlığı ve çevre üzerinde olumsuz sonuçlar doğurma potansiyeline sahiptirler. PBDD/F'ler esas olarak bromlu alev geciktiricilerin (BFR’lerin) yanması, elektrikli ve elektronik ekipmanların sökülmesi, metal eritme ve atık yakma gibi termal koşullar altında ortaya çıkmaktadır. Hegzabromosiklododekanlar (HBCDD’lar) ise Stockholm KOK'lar Sözleşmesi'nin Ek A kısmında listelenmiş olup; insan maruziyetinin meydana geldiği başta su, toz, hava ve toprak yoluyla taşınarak çevreyi kirletirler. Kontamine olmuş yiyecekler, nefes alma ve içme suyu, insanların HBCDD'lere maruz kalması için üç önemli yoldur. Özellikle balık tüketimi, insanların HBCDD'lere maruz kalmasının ana yollarından biridir. Günümüzde, varlığı, özellikleri, etkileri ve ölçüm yöntemleri de dahil olmak üzere PBDD/F'ların ve HBCDD'lerin kapsamlı bir açıklanması eksiktir; bu nedenle, bu derleme bu bilgileri sağlamak için yapılmıştır.

Authors: ERARSLAN Nazife
Published: July 2023

Bu çalışmada, asfalt beton (AC) numunelerinde çatlak oluşumunu ve yayılmasını araştırmak için Yarı Dairesel Disk Eğilme (SCB) numuneleri ile deneysel, analitik ve sayısal analiz araştırmaları yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, AC malzemelerin karma mod I-II (çekme ve kesme) kırılmasını analiz etmek için ASTMD8044 standardının sadece mod I için değil karma modu test etmede uygulanabilirliğini araştırmaktır. Gerilme dağılımı ve çatlak ilerleme sayısal analizleri, kırılma mekaniği programı FRANC2D kullanılarak yapıldı. AC numunelerinin mod I (çekme) kırılma tokluğu (KIC) değerinin 0.45 MPa√m olduğu bulunmuştur. Öte yandan, β= 30 için mod II kırılma tokluğu (KIIC) değeri 0.17 MPa√m ve β=45 için mod II değeri ise 0,19 MPa√m olarak bulunmuştur.

Sayısal analizlerle Kritik Çatlak Eşiği (CCT) çatlak uzunluğu 2-3 mm olarak bulunmuştur. Bu sonuç, hem deneysel bulgular hem de CCT analitik analiz sonuçları ile uyumludur. FRANC2D analizlerinde kohezif çatlak yüzeyleri arasında en belirgin kayma 30 eğimli çatlak ile gözlenmiştir. AC numunelerinde ‘kanat çatlak’ büyümesi literatürde ilk kez hem deneysel hem de sayısal analizlerle bu çalışma ile elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen deneysel, analitik ve sayısal sonuçlara göre, bu çalışmanın sadece mod I için önerilen ASTMD8044 test standardının AC malzemelerin karma mod I-II kırılma tokluğunun belirlenmesi için yeni bir uluslararası standart çalışmalarına yol göstereceğine inanılmaktadır.

Counterproductive behavior measure to increase employee productivity
Authors: Jorovlea Elvira , Pascaneanu Tudor
Published: July 2023

In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in researching workplace behaviors that cause harm to employees or the organization, especially, because of the harmful consequences and associated costs. Consequences include economic ones, for example, loss of productivity due to late work, theft or sabotage, and psychological ones such as withdrawal or low job satisfaction - for those who are targets of interpersonal counterproductive behaviors; the high degree of stress and insecurity – for those who perceive such behaviors. Consequences are important arguments for the need to identify predictors of counterproductive behaviors, both interpersonal and organizational. Such information will help organizational actors to find ways to prevent these acts during the selection process, focusing on those predictors of personality that determine counterproductive behavior or at the level of the organization, taking into account situational factors that may trigger or encourage such behaviors. In the intrapersonal stage, the degree of responsibility of the individual who records the observation is of great importance. This determines how the deviance is perceived (whether the ,,guilty” is guilty or not), the causes that the individual attributes to the perceived behavior (whether it is moral or immoral) and the actions he will take in connection with it (whether or not he discloses the information). At the interpersonal level, the observer faces social influences from the “guilty” (presenting attenuated circumstances, using excuses or justifications, emphasizing the isolated character and even intimidation) issues that make it difficult to report.
Leadership between strategic leadership and power management
Authors: Culipei Laura-Catalina
Published: July 2023

The concept of political management is a newer element to classical management as a sub-branch. Its emergence derived from the consequences of the increasingly insistent administration and management of political processes related to the world's successful leaders in organizational behavior and management. The particularities of leaders oriented towards political management become a concern of society as members of a larger community whose interests are managed by public figures through the delegation of responsibilities. This study represents a vision of the political leader phenomenon from the perspective of the constructive elements of the managerial form, from the context of the existing types of political leaders, from the needs of association in these personalities, from the context of the dangers that they can create in their activity. The knowledge of the particularities, but also the major interest given by the scientific community in studying the behaviors of political leaders, can serve to educate and inform society about their emergence, role and influence in the development of government and state administration, at the same time to avoid dangers in the case of existing dangers from the leaders
Fiscal reform though the lens of social equity
Authors: Serduni Serghei
Published: July 2023

Inequality is on the rise both globally and nationally. In the Republic of Moldova, the assets of a few thousand millionaires’ amount to tens of billions of lei, while about a million citizens are placed in the category of absolute poverty or severe poverty. Globally, voices are being heard more and more that propose the tightening of the tax system, which is already designed based on the principle of progressiveness in the payment of taxes in order to raise the level of taxation of the richest with the aim of reducing the level of inequality and achieving the principle of equity. In our country, things are practically the opposite. Four years ago, tax reform was carried out with the aim of increasing the efficiency of the tax system and which involved moving from the progressive principle of taxation to a single tax rate for all taxpayers. In this article, the results of this reform were analyzed only through the lens of social equity but not efficiency.
Financing the justice sector in developing countries: innovative strategies and opportunities for improvement
Authors: Goncearenco Ludmila
Published: July 2023

The justice sector in developing countries faces numerous challenges, including a lack of funding, corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled personnel. Despite these challenges, there are also growth opportunities, like utilizing technology for better efficiency and transparency. The paper examines the successful financing mechanisms implemented in the justice sector globally. Public-Private Partnerships have proven effective in Latin America, while performance-based financing has worked well in Africa, linking financing to specific results to enhance sector performance. Asia has successfully used social impact bonds to improve financing and access to justice. Crowdfunding is a popular method for financing justice in Europe, providing a new source of funding for legal aid organizations to help increase access to justice for vulnerable communities. It is essential to continue exploring innovative financing strategies to protect the public interest and sector integrity through clear goals, criteria, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. The paper offers valuable insights into financing options for enhancing the justice sector in developing countries and ensuring citizens' access to adequate and accessible legal services
Legal regulations – leverage in increasing the sustainability of free economic zones
Authors: Stoian Eugeniu , Vornovitchi Diana
Published: July 2023

Free Economic Zones, or we can also find them under the name of Free Enterprise Zones, aim to accelerate the country's economy, being part of its territory. The activity of the free economic zones is regulated by the law no. 440 of 27.07.2001 regarding its activity. Free economic zones have become a lifeline for countries with weak economies, in turn help to increase the country's economy by attracting new investors both domestic and foreign to free economic zones, create new jobs, help to attract and implement new technologies, and last but not least apply good advanced production and management experiences. The only other thing we can mention is that people living in these areas benefit from customs and tax exemptions. Like the activity of domestic companies, the activity of free economic zones has a beginning (launch) and an end (termination of the free zone activity). The economic activity in these zones is regulated on the basis of the local legislation, with the indication of certain specific provisions for the activity of the residents of the free economic zones or sub-zones or free enterprise zones, which are indicated in the law on their activity.

Los espacios vividos en la construcción de identidades en las estudiantes feministas de Ciudad Universitaria, UNAM
Authors: Hernández Cantarell Adriana
Published: July 2023

En la actualidad se observa una amplia diversidad en las mujeres feministas, que reflejan las diferentes maneras de interpretar y vivir este marco crítico de interpretación y transformación que se exige en la vida de cada mujer. Sin embargo, no existe una claridad en cuáles son los motivos o elementos que contribuyen en la elección y afirmación de cada una. Por lo que el presente estudio es obtener algunas reflexiones de tipo geográfico con las estudiantes feministas y dar cuenta de los lugares que les han permitido desarrollar sus ideales (Sabaté et al., 1995). Esta investigación se realizó con seis historias de mujeres feministas estudiantes de posgrado de la UNAM, donde se muestra el origen del porqué se ha tomado la decisión de ser feminista. Para lo anterior se integra la información de las entrevistas conforme a la producción del espacio de Lefebvre y los mapas de relieve de experiencias creados por María Rodó-Zárate, lo cual permite entender los diferentes lugares donde habitan cada una de las entrevistadas y cómo lo perciben al analizar sus particularidades como son la clase social o el mismo feminismo entre otros. De este modo, este trabajo es relevante debido a que permite valorar la capacidad explicativa que tienen los espacios vividos y sus características dentro de sus identidades como feministas, al conocer el origen o influencia de la diversidad espacial que se estudia dentro de la geografía de género y del cual existen pocos estudios que rescatan las vivencias de las estudiantes feministas universitarias en el México contemporáneo.

Se realizan alcances a distintos países para mostrar que, pese a los distintos niveles de desarrollo, la agricultura globalizada opera bajo semejantes modalidades, homogenizando el uso de fuerza de trabajo local y extranjera, femenina y masculina, indígena, con nulos o escasos derechos sociales en un escenario que hace visible como se encarna la deprivación de derechos como expresión de la nueva cuestión social que impone la “mundialización por abajo” (Tarrius, 2007). El artículo cierra con los hallazgos encontrados por la autora en Chile en estudios de varios proyectos FONDECYT.
