Published: October 2024

In the current era of big data, geospatial data plays a pivotal role in a wide spectrum of scientific and applied fields related to the Earth’s surface. Advances in sensor technologies, satellite imagery, and field surveys have enabled the collection and generation of vast amounts of geospatial data with ever-increasing temporal and spatial resolution. Therefore, geospatial information is critical for making well-informed decisions about the social, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainable development. Furthermore, geospatial data can be employed to analyze, model, and map sustainable development issues, providing a framework for collaboration, consensus, and evidence-based decision-making. However, the geospatial data strategy should be based on overarching goals that aim to create an environment in which geospatial data is credible, reliable, and serves and supports the purpose of its use. Despite the enormous potential benefits of utilizing geospatial data in various fields, there are still challenges to overcome that limit the ability to unlock its full potential. Geospatial data, when combined with advanced technologies such as remote sensing and geographic information systems, as well as advanced data analytics, deep learning, and machine learning techniques, serves as a vital and reliable source of information for decision-making in sustainable development for both the public and private sectors. Additionally, this integration helps in addressing challenges associated with this data type. This chapter addresses the fundamental aspects of geospatial data by discussing concepts, data acquisition, tools, data types, data quality, data management, data visualization, applications, and challenges to provide an overview of this big data type.

Authors: Nur Ozkan Ayse , Sirin Kamil , Dogan Fatih
Published: October 2024

Intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) are utilized in numerous industrial sectors. ICPs’ electrostatic charge dissipative (ESD) properties are one of their most crucial application characteristics, particularly in electronics. Therefore, in this study, the mechanical, morphological, thermal, and ESD properties of low-density poly(ethylene) (LDPE) and polyaniline (PANI) blends were discussed. Blends were prepared by loading 0.5, 1.0, and 3 wt% of PANI into the LDPE matrix by solution blending method. Then, FT-IR, DSC, TGA, DMA, SEM, and X-RD techniques were used to analyze the interaction between PANI and LDPE. The thermal durability of polyethylene did not change with the addition of PANI. The addition of PANI to the LDPE matrix resulted in a melting temperature drop of about 1°C. However, the degree of LDPE crystallinity dramatically reduced as the amount of PANI in the blends increased. Additionally, the conductivity of the PANI/LDPE blends was determined to be in the range of 10−6–10−9 S cm−1. The antistatic decay curves showed that all blends can be used as ESD material at 3 kV corona voltage. Moreover, it has been seen that the LDPE blend, which is doped with 3% PANI by weight, can be used as negative and positive polarizable ESD material between −3 and 6 kV corona voltages.

Authors: Peterson Alanna C. , Yealy Donald M. , Heineman Emily , Berger Rachel P.
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Child abuse is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The rate of missed child abuse in general emergency departments (ED), where 85% of children are evaluated, is higher than in pediatric EDs. We sought to evaluate the impact of an electronic health record (EHR)-embedded child-abuse clinical decision support system (CA-CDSS) in the identiﬁcation and evaluation of child maltreatment in a network of EDs three years after implementation. Methods: We anonymously surveyed all 196 ED attending physicians and advanced practice practitioners (APP) in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center network. The survey evaluated practitioner awareness of, attitudes toward, and changes in clinical practice prompted by the CA-CDSS. We also assessed practitioner recognition and evaluation of sentinel injuries. Results: Of the 71 practitioners (36%) who responded to the survey, 75% felt the tool raised child abuse awareness, and 72% had a face-to-face discussion with the child’s nurse after receiving a CA-CDSS alert. Among APPs, 72% consulted with the attending physician after receiving an alert. Many practitioners were unaware of at least one function of the CA-CDSS; 38% did not know who completed the child abuse screen (CAS); 54% were unaware that they could view the results of the CAS in the EHR, and 69% did not recognize the clinical decision support dashboard icon. Slightly over 20% of respondents felt that the CA-CDSS limited autonomy; and 4.5% disagreed with the recommendations in the physical abuse order set, which reﬂects American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines. Greater than 90% of respondents correctly identiﬁed an intraoral injury and torso bruise in an infant as sentinel injuries requiring an evaluation for abuse. Conclusion: A child-abuse clinical decision support system embedded in the electronic health record was associated with communication among practitioners and was overall perceived as improving child abuse awareness in our system. Practitioners correctly recognized injuries concerning for abuse. Barriers to improving identiﬁcation and evaluation of abuse include gaps in knowledge about the CA-CDSS and the presence of practitioners who disagree with the AAP recommendations for physical abuse evaluation and/or felt that clinical decision support in general limited their clinical autonomy.
The Biochemical Effects of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Quercus brantii Fruit on Morphine-Induced Amnesia in the Presence and Absence of Cholinergic Muscarinic Receptors in Adult Male Mice
Authors: Fazelian Seyed Ali , Kesmati Mahnaz , Torabi Mozhgan
Published: October 2024

Background: In our previous study, we demonstrated that oak hydroalcoholic extract improves memory impairment in a postpartum depression model due to its antioxidant properties. The purpose of this study is to further investigate the effect of oak on another amnesia model and explore the mediating role of cholinergic muscarinic receptors. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of oak fruit on amnesia induced by morphine in the presence and absence of cholinergic muscarinic receptors, as well as changes in serum biochemical factors. Methods: In this experimental study, adult male mice were divided into groups: Control and morphine-receiving (5 and 7.5 mg/kg) groups to induce amnesia after training. In the groups receiving 7.5 mg/kg morphine, oak extract (1 and 10 mg/kg) was administered one day after training and continued for one week. Atropine (0.1 and 1 mg/kg) was injected only on the first day after training and before the oak extract injection. Passive avoidance memory was evaluated 1, 3, and 7 days after training using a step-down device. Motor activity was assessed using the open field test. Blood biochemical factors, including triglycerides, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), were measured after one week of injections. Results: Morphine (7.5 mg/kg) impaired memory on days 1 and 7 (P < 0.05), while oak extract (1 and 10 mg/kg) improved memory (P < 0.001). Additionally, the oak extract maintained its enhancing effect even in the presence of atropine, a cholinergic muscarinic system antagonist. Oak extract significantly increased HDL and TAC levels but did not affect LDL, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Conclusions: These findings suggest that oak extract can improve morphine-induced amnesia due to its antioxidant effect, without involving the cholinergic system. Additionally, oak extract can increase beneficial lipids without affecting harmful lipids.

Published: October 2024

The Zinc oxide nanoparticles could be entered and separated in various water bodies through the runoff. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the influences of different concentrations of zinc oxide nanoparticles on Artemia salina (used as live feed in aquaculture) at developmental, biochemical and molecular levels. The homogeneity among the estimated. Artemia salina was estimated using Inter simple sequence repeats and some isozyme polymorphism. The results showed that samples were highly homogeneous. The hatching percentages decreased as the concentration of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles increased, compared to the control group. The maximum hatching percentage (75.88%) was detected at the control followed by ZT1(65.52%), ZT2 (55.87%) and ZT3(55.22%). The percentage of each developmental stage of A. salina under the experimental conditions, including egg, breakage egg, umbrella stage, Instar 1, Instar 2 and Instar 3, was calculated. Also, the impacts of ZnO NPs on A. salina isozyme variations were evaluated. The results showed some different A. salina tissue responses among the various ZnO NPs concentrations. The total number of bands was 15, 12, 10 and 5 for a-Esterase, b-Esterase, Superoxide dismutase and Lactate dehydrogenase isozymes respectively. The electrophoretic pattern of the A. salina Esterases shows remarkable biochemical markers. Understanding such influences could be helpful for the industry to make informed decisions on whether to use such Zinc oxide nanoparticles or find safer alternatives, ultimately affecting production costs and profitability. The industry should pay attention on developing safer nanoparticles and optimizing their concentrations to reduce long-term costs associated with species depletion and environmental damage.

Published: October 2024

Internet of Things (IoT) devices, user interfaces (UI), software, as well as communication networks are all deployed within Smart Cities topology. The security approach designed for Internet of Things IoT should be able to prevent and detect both internal and external attacks. The problem in IoT network that not every linked node or device has an adequate amount of processing power. This means that data encryption and other related activities will be impossible and means that the security of any kind must be lightweight. A trustworthy security solution that stops illegal access to private data on the network is necessary for maintaining the privacy of information on the Internet of Things. Cryptographic processes need to be quicker and more compact without sacrificing security. The aim of this study is to reduce the execution time and power consumption of encryption processes without compromise the complexity of the encryption algorithm. This research presents a new lightweight cryptographic technique to protect various multimedia and real-time traffics across IoT network, by using two S-box in SubByte of encryption process, without affecting its performance.  In this study, different audio samples will be used to test the new algorithm efficiency. Comparing the suggested method to the most advanced standard algorithm, it can reduce the cryptography process's execution time as well as energy consumption while maintaining the required security level. The outcomes demonstrate good performance in terms of power usage and delay. The new technique consumed a roughly 0.2 µJ for encryption process while the typical AES algorithm consumed 0.29 µJ, this mean the new algorithm achieved (33% power savings), while maintaining a good complexity level (security) within the process of encryption according to the results in tables I, II, and the comparison in table III. The novelty of this work can be showed by using dual XOR S-box technique which increased the complexity of SubByte process making it more secure without overload the processing performance, in addition to the reduction in encryption rounds which contribute to enhance the performance without compromise the security. Making it more suited for the Internet of Things (IoT) used in smart city environments.

Published: October 2024

One of the most significant issues in modern road safety and intelligent transportation systems is the automation of vehicle detection and identification. Many challenges have been solved in the advancement of image processing, pattern recognition, and deep learning technology in order to accomplish this goal. Vehicle Type Classification is a difficult task since the dataset has a large class imbalance, and several view points for different cars can be identical. The proposed framework employs a shallow Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) architecture to prevent overfitting and ensure that the correct features are learned, and we use an augmentation technique to produce synthetic images using the image data generation model in Keras due to class imbalance. The shallow CNN is used to extract features from the generated images, and then Softmax activation is used to classify them. Finally, the proposed system will achieves the classification of vehicle type i.e. classify the different car models with efficiently by novel methodology. The findings of the experiments demonstrate that shallow CNN can do well in real world situations.

Published: October 2024

Age detection using facial images has been an active area of research in recent years. Deep learning approaches, in particular, have shown great potential in achieving high accuracy and efficiency in this task. In this study, we present a comprehensive investigation of the use of VGG Face, a deep neural network pre trained on a large dataset of faces, for age detection. We first explore the impact of pre processing techniques, such as normalization and augmentation, on the performance of the VGG Face network. We then compare the performance of different variants of the VGG Face architecture for age detection. We evaluate the performance of the network on several benchmark datasets, including the IMDB WIKI dataset, and report the accuracy and efficiency of the approach. Our results show that pre processing techniques such as normalization and augmentation can significantly improve the accuracy of the VGGFace network for age detection. We also find that some variants of the VGG Face architecture, such as VGG16 and VGG19, perform better than others. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive investigation of the use of VGG Face for age detection, and sheds light on the impact of pre processing techniques and model selection on the performance of the approach. Our findings can help researchers and practitioners to develop more accurate and efficient age detection systems using deep learning

Heart disease can be prevented with accurate prediction, but it can also be fatal if the prediction is erroneous. The results and characterization of the UCI Machine Learning Heart Disease dataset are investigated in this research using various machine learning and deep learning mechanisms. This study includes the ensemble of methods, well known algorithms, comparisons with other better methodologies, using an efficient feature selection technique, hybrid approach, fuzzy based algorithms, removing the noisy data using an enhanced approach, and so on. The dataset contains 14 key attributes that were used in the assessment. The precision of machine learning algorithms is determined by the dataset used for training and testing. The knowledge saved can be useful as a source for anticipating future illnesses. The purpose of this study is to summarize fresh research together with relative outcomes on coronary health risk, as well as to encourage innovative goals using data mining and machine learning frameworks.
Edge-Cloud Collaboration Based Covid-19 Detection on X-Ray Images
Authors: ML Liji , T Escalin Freetha
Published: October 2024

The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID19) pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and caused a tremendous challenge to public health. Immediate detection and diagnosis of COVID19 have lifesaving importance for both patients and doctors. The availability of COVID19 tests increased significantly in many countries, thereby provisioning a limited availability of laboratory test kits additionally, the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT PCR) test for the diagnosis of COVID 19 is costly and time consuming. X ray imaging is widely used for the diagnosis of COVID19. The detection of COVID19 based on the manual investigation of X ray images is a tedious process. Therefore, computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems are needed for the automated detection of COVID19 disease. This paper proposes a novel approach for the automated detection of COVID19 using chest X ray images. The Fixed Boundary based Two Dimensional Empirical Wavelet Transform (FB2 DEWT) is used to extract modes from the X ray images. In our study, a single X ray image is decomposed into seven modes. The evaluated modes are used as input to the multiscale deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify X ray images into no finding, pneumonia, and COVID19 classes. The proposed deep learning model is evaluated using the X ray images from two different publicly available databases, where database A consists of 1225 images and database B consists of 9000 images.

This article explores the personal names given to Icelandic and Norwegian individuals in 23 of the Old Norse literary íslendingaþættir. The aim is to establish if differences, novations and relics in personal names are visible in literary sources. The findings of the analysis of the personal names in the íslendingaþættir are supplemented with results of previous research and non-literary sources. The personal names of Icelandic and Norwegian individuals found in 23 íslendingaþættir exhibit, despite the limited source material, noticeable differences.
Transversalidades entre a composicionalidade e a comprovisação a partir da criação musical do ciclo de peças afrossurrealistas Abaeté
Authors: Pereira George Cristian Vilela
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo tenciona mostrar uma investigação (de um projeto de pesquisa de Mestrado em andamento) sobre o quanto a composicionalidade (a partir de Paulo Costa Lima) poder-se-ia conectar com a comprovisação, a partir da experiência de criação musical para o ciclo de peças Abaeté, que é um projeto que intenta explorar musicalmente o quanto a região mencionada pelo título deste trabalho conceitual transformou-se em sua ecologia, passando por uma violência em seu crescimento urbano. O grupo Afluentes Ensemble foi montado no intuito de trazer uma concepção artística de invenção de mundo que é reflexo das temáticas do ciclo de peças e de sua “comprovisação afrossurrealista” em sua proposta estética. As teorias da comprovisação escolhidas, especialmente, em sua descrição abrangente de práticas musicais abertas (conforme identificado por Arthur Faraco) foram as de Bhagwati e Fujak para um diálogo de ideias e uma convergência transversal com a composicionalidade de Lima em cada um de seus vetores para uma síntese de como se realizaria a percepção de uma comprovisacionalidade (comprovisação e composicionalidade). A partir de trechos selecionados das peças já compostas para o ciclo Abaeté, trazendo o afrossurrealismo como um objetivo estético a ser alcançado com o resultado das comprovisações, assim como também a plena definição da comprovisacionalidade a partir do estudo sobre o ciclo de peças Abaeté seguirá sendo investigada.
A intertextualidade transferida da literatura para a música: caminhos adotados por diversos autores
Authors: Petri Ariane
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo revisa as estratégias adotadas por diversos autores ao aplicar a intertextualidade à música. Originária da teoria literária, a intertextualidade examina o cruzamento de textos e seu diálogo. Na música, trata das relações entre realizações musicais, tanto anotadas quanto gravadas, completas ou de trechos. O objetivo deste artigo é reunir e diferenciar essas abordagens. Inicialmente, apresentamos as principais abordagens intertextuais na literatura, diferenciando-as entre pós-estruturalistas e estruturalistas, para em seguida descrever e comparar suas aplicações na música. A intertextualidade musical abrange subáreas como empréstimo, influência e a Teoria das Tópicas. Propomos ainda a subárea da intertextualidade pragmática, com uma linha analítica e outra compositiva. Detalhamos as particularidades dessas subáreas e identificamos características dos campos poiético, estésico e neutro sob a perspectiva semiótica de Jean-Jacques Nattiez (1990; 2021). Finalizamos trazendo as tendências recentes da intermidialidade e dos estudos de adaptação.  O artigo dedica uma parte mais extensa à transtextualidade de Gérard Genette (1997a; 2010), autor ainda pouco explorado na música.

Em busca de novas trajetórias formativas, esse trabalho relata sobre a proposta de uma experiência pedagógica realizada em 2018, com a oferta de um Curso de Extensão Universitária destinado à Formação de Professores de Instrumento de Metal. A proposta tinha como objetivo geral formar professores de instrumento de metal com foco na realidade. Sua elaboração foi norteada pelo desenho da pesquisa-ação, fundamentada nos princípios da Proposta Musicopedagógica Cante e Dance com a Gente, doravante PropMpCDG, e nas ideias e recursos didáticos de Arnold Jacobs (1915-1998), associados a conceitos próprios ao formato de Ensino Coletivo e à Teoria da Aprendizagem Situada, de Lave e Wenger (2006). A oferta, considerada pioneira e inovadora, se deu no formato presencial e a distância, tendo conseguido alcançar seus objetivos. O Curso foi concluído com uma apresentação pública original, qual seja, um Recital Musicopedagógico CDG.
Panorama da produção da área Artes/música apresentada em artigos publicados em periódicos brasileiros listados no Qualis CAPES (2017-2020) ao longo dos dez anos compreendidos entre 2013-2022
Authors: Zille José Antônio Baêta
Published: October 2024

Este artigo busca delinear o perfil da pesquisa em Música no Brasil, explicitada na publicação de artigos, ressaltando áreas e subáreas temáticas, bem como listar as instituições responsáveis pela difusão dos mesmos. Em se tratando de ciência, a comunicação escrita ainda consiste no principal veículo de divulgação de novos conhecimentos, oriundos das pesquisas. Esta forma tradicional de divulgação é feita, basicamente, por meio de documentos convencionais, como artigos de revistas. Este é o ponto que permitiu uma primeira indagação sobre o lugar e o alcance das práticas de pesquisa relacionadas à música. Para dar cabo a este estudo, utilizou-se de dados levantados junto aos periódicos listados na avaliação do quadriênio 2017-2020, do Qualis Capes, disponível na Plataforma Sucupira, tendo como período de análise os dez anos compreendidos entre 2013 e 2022. Deste contexto listaram-se e quantificaram-se todos os periódicos da área Artes/Música com acesso eletrônico, classificados e quantificados quanto a área e a subárea temática. Acredita-se que, com isso, se está contribuindo para a organização dos saberes, colaborando para com a percepção do universo da pesquisa em música e as leituras daqueles ligados a distintas áreas do conhecimento que se dedicam ao estudo da música, nas suas mais diversas nuances.
Análise de gravações como recurso para o desenvolvimento da ornamentação: um estudo aplicado à Suíte para violoncelo nº 2, em Ré menor, de J. S. Bach
Authors: Teixeira William , Ferreira Guilherme
Published: October 2024

Este artigo explora o papel da ornamentação na prática musical atual, utilizando como estudo de caso a Suíte para violoncelo nº 2 em Ré menor (BWV 1008) de Johann Sebastian Bach. Baseado em observações de Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach e Daniel Leech-Wilkinson, o estudo analisa 17 gravações de 13 artistas diferentes, abrangendo um período de 78 anos, para compreender como os músicos contemporâneos abordam a ornamentação. A metodologia adotada envolve uma análise comparativa das gravações e da notação escrita da fonte de Anônimo D, destacando a importância da escuta atenta e do estudo das interpretações passadas. Conclui-se que a ornamentação não apenas enriquece a expressão musical, mas também reflete a criatividade do intérprete. A discussão sobre a pedagogia da ornamentação destaca a necessidade de os músicos desenvolverem sua própria linguagem interpretativa, em vez de se pautarem estritamente por normativas históricas.

Authors: Vélez Zambrano Gema Gabriela , Colobón Robinzón Eliana Inés , Vera Baque Karen Lisbeth , Zuñiga Heredia Luisa Margoth , Coloma Yánez Fredy Ramiro
Published: October 2024

Mediante el presente artículo de revisión bibliográfica, se aborda la rizomatía existente entre la praxis pedagógica y el currículo basado en competencia, cuya articulación genera escenarios diversificados para lograr en las niñas y niños el desarrollo de sus potencialidades, sin menoscabo de sus realidades subjetivas; por el contrario, se gestiona un abanico multireferencial de logros escolares. Al analizar un cúmulo significativo de fuentes documentales e investigaciones científicas, se describe como la acción docente impregnada de mística, compromiso y valoración trasciende los modelos restrictivos de la enseñanza, reorientando y transformando procesos que fecunden el aprendizaje desde la necesidades e intereses estudiantiles; esta cosmovisión de una labor que moviliza conductas y genera conciencia, busca consolidar divergentes situaciones y oportunidades de aprendizaje, afianzado de las capacidades sustantivas en cada sujeto. Se concluye que, esta nueva cultura de ser y hacer pedagogía supera el enfoque tradicional centrado en la transmisión de conocimientos memorísticos, para dar paso a una alternativa más dinámica, participativa y orientada al desarrollo integral de las capacidades de los infantes.
