Published: December 2024

Batik is one of Indonesia's cultural heritage with complex and diverse patterns, high artistic value and deep philosophy. Manually classifying batik patterns takes time and depends on expert knowledge, making the process inefficient. It is very difficult to distinguish batik pattern motifs because of the similarity between one and the other. This research aims to develop a batik pattern classification model using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with a data-based approach, allowing pattern recognition and classification to be carried out automatically and accurately. The data set used consisted of 4,284 batik images divided into five pattern classes: kawung, slope, ceplok, machet, and nitik. In this study, the CNN model was developed by utilizing transfer learning techniques with MobileNetV3 that had been trained previously on large datasets. The training process involves adding data to increase the robustness of the model against variations in batik patterns. Evaluation is carried out by measuring the accuracy and loss of the model. The results showed that the CNN model achieved an average accuracy of 93.42% on training data and 93.88% on test data. This study shows that a data-driven approach using CNN is effective for the classification of batik patterns, providing more accurate results compared to manual methods and offering an efficient solution for the digitization of the batik industry. Data driven helps produce a general model and is able to recognize batik motifs that have never been seen before. By using data-driven, larger, more diverse data allows the model to better understand variations in patterns and textures. The developed model can serve as the basis for wider applications in cultural preservation and technological advancement based on artificial intelligence.

Self-excited Pulsations and the Instability Strip of Long-period Variables: The Transition from Small-amplitude Red Giants to Semi-regular Variables
Authors: Trabucchi Michele , Pastorelli Giada
Published: December 2024

We use one-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations combined with synthetic stellar population models of the Magellanic Clouds to study the onset of self-excited pulsation in luminous red giants. By comparing the results with Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment observations in the period–luminosity (PL) diagram, we are able to link the transition from small-amplitude red giants to semi-regular variables with a shift from stochastic driving to self-excited pulsations. This is consistent with previous studies relating this transition with an increase in mass-loss rate, dust formation, and the appearance of long secondary periods. The luminosity and effective temperature at the onset of pulsation are found to depend on metallicity, hydrogen content, and the adopted mixing length parameter. This confirms the role of partial hydrogen ionization in driving the pulsation, supporting the idea of a heat mechanism similar to that of classical pulsators. We examine the impact of turbulent viscosity, and find clear evidence that it must be adjusted according to the stellar chemical and physical parameters to fully match observations. In order to improve the predictive power of pulsation models, the turbulent viscosity and the temperature scale of pulsating red giants must be jointly calibrated. This is critical for model-based studies of the PL relations of evolved stars and to exploit their potential as distance and age indicators, in particular given the sensitivity of the onset of pulsation to the envelope composition. The grid of models is made publicly available with a companion interpolation routine.
The Impact of the Angle-average Approximation in the Partial Frequency Redistribution Modeling of the Mg ii h–k Doublet Stokes Profiles
Authors: del Pino Alemán Tanausú , Alsina Ballester Ernest , Trujillo Bueno Javier , Janett Gioele , Riva Fabio , Belluzzi Luca
Published: December 2024

In recent years, the Mg ii h and k lines have become increasingly important for the diagnostics of magnetic fields in the solar chromosphere, motivated both by the advances in the modeling capabilities of their polarization and by the unprecedented spectropolarimetric observations provided by the CLASP missions. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the angular and frequency coupling in coherent scattering processes in the radiative transfer modeling of the Mg ii doublet polarization profiles. In particular, we aim to assess how the widely used angle-average approximation affects the predicted polarization. By solving the radiative transfer problem in 1D semiempirical atmospheric models, we find that this approximation is suitable in the absence of magnetic fields, but there can be measurable differences in magnetized models, mainly in the linear polarization profiles close to the core of the Mg ii k line. We then test the suitability of the approximation in more realistic scenarios, solving the radiative transfer problem pixel-by-pixel in a 3D atmospheric model resulting from a magnetohydrodynamic simulation and mimicking the degradation of the CLASP2 instrument, as well as in several 1D atmospheric models resulting from the Stokes inversion of the CLASP2 data. We find that the impact of the angle-average approximation is greatly diminished at the resolution of the CLASP2 observations. We also find that to suitably include angle-dependent effects in 1D radiative transfer modeling, it is sufficient to initialize the problem with the angle-average solution and then perform a few (angle-dependent) iterations, dramatically reducing the computational cost.
Moderate-separation Binary Companions May Influence Young Stellar X-Ray Luminosity
Authors: Clark M , Sullivan Kendall , Soares-Furtado Melinda
Published: December 2024

Young pre-main sequence stars exhibit elevated X-ray levels due to their strong magnetic activity. Understanding young stars’ X-ray activity is essential for contextualizing the forming planets that they host. Binary stars present a unique environment that may influence planet formation and evolution. In this work, we assembled a sample of 65 systems with stellar characterization from the literature and X-ray fluxes from the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud to investigate the potential relationship between binary separation and X-ray flux. We found that binary stars with separations smaller than the sample median may exhibit elevated X-ray flux compared to single stars. This suggests that binary companions could influence stellar and planetary evolution and warrants further investigation.
The Mass–Radius Relation for Planets in Binary Systems
Authors: Gaidos Eric , Clark Catherine A. , Sullivan Kendall
Published: December 2024

Stellar companion within a few hundred astronomical unit alter the structure and shorten the lifetime of protoplanetary disks, influencing planetary formation and evolution. Such systems host fewer close-in planets, and have fewer ~2.3R
⊕ “sub-Neptunes” relative to ~1.3R
⊕ “super-Earths” compared to single-star hosts, observations that can be explained by early dissipation of the gas disk. Here we construct the mass–radius diagram of 15 small (<8R
⊕), well-characterized planets on S-type orbits in systems with projected separations <500 au, and show that it is indistinguishable from that of planets around single stars. This suggests that accretion of the H2-dominated envelopes of sub-Neptunes could be much faster than gas disk dissipation and limited instead by available solids for cores, or that many sub-Neptunes have envelopes of condensible volatiles such as H2O.
A Comparison of Publication Counts for Four Ultraviolet Explorer Observatories
Authors: Smith Graeme H.
Published: December 2024

Publication counts for four space-based ultraviolet observatories are compared: International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer, Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), and Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). The first three show rapid rises to either a sharp or broad maximum. Over the peak period for IUE the papers tend to be concentrated upon data from that mission specifically. Maxima are followed by declines of various duration, after which papers based upon multiple space-based observatories have lead to extended relevancy for each mission, particularly in the case of FUSE. By contrast, papers that incorporate data from GALEX have yet to evince a turn-over. As with FUSE, there is a pronounced trend for results from the GALEX mission to have been incorporated into multi-mission papers.
Analysis of Gaia DR3 Data of Selected R Stars (Warm Carbon Stars)
Authors: Parthasarathy Mudumba
Published: December 2024

An analysis of Gaia DR3 data of 67 R stars is presented and 57 of them are at high galactic latitudes. Three new variable stars are found. The long period luminous variable R stars and R8 stars may be variable carbon stars on the Asymptotic Giant Branch. The R stars seem to have luminosities throughout the Red Giant Branch range. Several R stars are found to be high velocity stars. The determination of s-process elements abundances and C12/C13 ratio of the stars listed in Table 1 will enable us to further understand the R stars phenomenon. The process by which the atmospheres of these stars are enriched with carbon is still a puzzle.

The genus Tulipa L., belonging to the Liliaceae family, has significant economic, horticultural, and ecological importance and is culturally revered in various regions worldwide. The total number of Tulipa species, including 90–120 taxa, varies based on different sources. Globally, Kazakhstan has one of the highest diversities of Tulipa species, most of which are threatened. In this study, we update and revise the Tulipa species in Kazakhstan based on field observations and an extensive herbarium specimens’ survey. A total of 41 taxa were identified, including 13 species endemic to Kazakhstan, among which seven species have been assessed as threatened globally. Furthermore, we gathered 1,942 occurrence records of 41 Tulipa taxa to analyze spatial arrangement of Tulipa species richness in Kazakhstan. Based on these results, we identified 22 grid cells with a high diversity of tulip species in southern Kazakhstan. We also present taxonomic key for all Tulipa species occurring in Kazakhstan, along with comments on their general distribution, habitat, phenology, distribution map, and conservation status. In addition, a color plate for each species is provided. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the conservation status, distribution patterns, and biodiversity of Tulipa species in Kazakhstan, laying a foundation for targeted conservation efforts and further research in the region.

Improving diversification by a hybrid bat-Nelder-Mead algorithm and DDE for rapid convergence to solve global optimization
Authors: Suhail Enas , El-Alem Mahmoud , Bazighifan Omar , Zekri Ahmed
Published: December 2024

Delay differential equations and algorithms hold a crucial position in the exploration of some biological systems and several models in real-world applications. So, some algorithms contribute to improve mathematical models related to natural life problems and global optimization. A novel hybridization between the downhill Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm (NM) and the classic bat algorithm (BA) was presented. The classic BA suffers from premature convergence, which is due to its global search weakness. In this research, this weakness was overcome by the intervention of NM in the velocity updating formula of the particles as an additional term. This improvement distracts particles from the rapporteur route, toward only the best solution found, to discover the search space more accurately. Once this improvement detects a promising area, sequential expansions are performed to deeply explore the area. This mechanism provides rapid convergence for the algorithm. Deep analysis of the algorithm's behaviour was provided, and thoughtful experiments were conducted and evaluated utilizing several evaluation metrics together with the Wilcoxon signed rank test to accentuate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
Family Socio-Cultural Values and Early Marriage Across Ethnic Groups
Authors: Uddin Emaj
Published: December 2024

This chapter examines and compares how family socio-cultural values exert effect on early marriage across ethnic groups, focusing on Bangladesh. In doing so, 585 pairs of couples (295 for Muslim and 290 for Santal) were randomly selected from Bangladesh. Data were collected, applying questionnaire method in family setting. Then the collected data were analyzed, using X2 test and binary logistic regression (BLR) technique. The frequency distribution showed that most of the Santal couples compared to the Muslim were married before the minimum legal age in Bangladesh. Results of BLR analysis suggested that early age at first marriage was significantly (p<0.01 & p<0.05) associated with family socio-cultural values studied. It is argued that ethnicity, family pattern, residence pattern, illiteracy and ascriptive occupational status were the risk factors to persist early marriage among the Santal couples than the Muslim ones in rural Bangladesh.
Causes, Effects, and Remedies of Early Marriage
Authors: Ronad Iranna
Published: December 2024

Abstract Despite the fact that marriage has a unique character, variety, and significance in all communities on the planet, sociologists contend that early marriage has had a number of detrimental effects. There is a wide range of views and attitudes in society about early marriage. While some believe that it is highly advantageous for the family, others think that getting married young is not a good idea and that it will only cause troubles and negative outcomes. Even though it is against the law, early weddings are never less common in many civilizations throughout the world. These types of marriages involve girls under the age of eighteen for various reasons. Many low-income parents wed their daughters before the age of eighteen. Due to their lack of resources, high expectations of their children, and intense feelings, many poor people complete their responsibility by marrying off their daughters at the young age of eighteen or younger.

Authors: Hammad Mohamed , Semary Noura A , Amin Khalid , Ahmed Wesam
Published: December 2024

The sentiment of a person (opinion) can be expressed through speech or writing in a specific natural language. Sentiment analysis (SA) often aims to identify the opinions of a writer or speaker on a particular topic or the general contextual polarity of a document. Sentiment analysis is widely employed in social media and reviews for a variety of purposes, such as customer service, political reviews, policymaking, marketing research, and decision-making. Machine learning (ML) approaches allow for the extraction of inferences from user interactions.

Published: December 2024

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection is generally asymptomatic but it may cause hand foot mouth disease (HFMD), severe pulmonary edema, meningoencephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis and even death during epidemic outbreaks. We are presenting a case of an acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) in a fourteen year old female who presented to us with sudden onset of pain, redness, lid swelling &subconjunctival hemorrhage with watery discharge involving both the eyes for four days in which EV71 virus was isolated from conjunctival swab. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of AHC reported to be due to EV71.
Endoillumination Assisted Scleral Buckling: The future Approach to Retinal Detachment Surgery
Authors: Venkatesh Pradeep , Arora Tarun , Garg Satpal
Published: December 2024

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is presently managed by conventional scleral buckling, pneumatic retinopexy or vitreoretinal surgery. To do away with the need for indirect ophthalmoscopy surgeons are now more inclined towards primary vitreoretinal surgery even in simple retinal detachment. However, standard three port vitreous surgery also carries with it disadvantages like progression of cataract, creation of iatrogenic tears, placement of long acting vitreous substitutes like intraocular gas or silicone oil, silicone oil glaucoma, andsilicone oil keratopathy. To overcome the above disadvantages of a full fledged vitreoretinal surgery in patients with simple retinal detachments, we hypothesize the possibility of achieving good results with an alternate surgical approach to carry out conventional buckling surgery – the endoilluminator assisted scleral buckling. With this approach it is not only possible to locate the number and location of breaks more accurately while seated at the microscope, but also undertake cryopexy of the breaks, drainage of subretinal fluid at a site wherein the height of detachment is maximum and also titrate the buckle height to achieve an ideal buckle-break relationship. This new approach hence combines the advantages of visualization provided by vitreoretinal instruments (endoillumination and wide angle viewing) and safety and simplicity ofconventional scleral buckling surgery.

Purpose:

To report a patient with post traumatic ocularforeign body.

Method:

Case report with relevant review of literature.

Results:

A thirty year old female suffered trauma to right eye with bullet of toy gun. She presented with mild blurring of vision and redness. On examination, aforeign body was seen in medial lower fornix. During exploration it was found to be embedded partially in sclera. The scleral perforation was partial thickness which was repaired. Theforeign body was an aluminum bullet of toy gun.

Conclusion:

This case highlights one of the rare presentations of closed globe injuries as superficial foreign body in sclera with partial thickness perforation.
Current Trends – Intermittent Exotropia Management
Authors: Agarwal Pradeep
Published: December 2024

Intermittent exotropia is a divergent form of strabismus that manifest sometimes and controlled by fusion other times. While the exact aetiology of most exodeviations is unknown, proposed causes include anatomic and mechanical factors with in orbit as well as abnormalities of innervation such as excessive tonic divergence. The examination of a patient who has exotropia includes all components of the comprehensive pediatric or adult ophthalmic evaluation in addition to the sensory, motor, refractive, and accommodative functions. All forms of exotropia should be considered for treatment but all forms of exotropia may not need treatment, particularly some cases of intermittent exotropia. In most cases ocular alignment should be re-established as soon as possible, especially in young children, if the deviation is manifest a large percentage of the time. However, the optimal modes of therapy for exotropia, the long term benefit of early surgical correction, and the superiority of bilateral versus unilateral surgery should be discussed in detail with the patient or parents. Employing a Medline and Pubmed literature search, the purpose of this Review article is to make the diagnosis, establish baseline status, and determine appropriate initial therapy.
Prevalence of direct antiglobulin test positive in whole blood donors: Study at a tertiary blood center Northern India
Authors: Bharti Jyoti , Solanki Archana , Singh Ashutosh , Agarwal Mallika , Chandra Tulika
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) detects red blood cell (RBC) sensitivity to complement or IgG in vivo. The clinical disorders of hemolytic disease of the newborn, hemolytic transfusion reaction, and autoimmune and drug-induced hemolytic anemia are some examples of those that can cause in vivo coating of RBCs with antibodies or complement autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Rarely, DAT is positive in nonimmune-mediated hemolytic anemias as well. Standard donor screening techniques do not require the DAT to be performed.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of DAT positive in healthy blood donors at a tertiary blood center in North India.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This 2-year prospective observational study included whole blood donors from January 2020 to December 2022. A total of 152,564 healthy blood donors including 150,246 (98.5%) males and 2318 (1.5%) females were donated at the department of transfusion medicine.

RESULTS:

Of a total of 152,564 donors, 150,246 (98.5%) were male, and 2,318 (1.5%) were female. Among the male donors, 11 (0.007%) had a history of blood transfusion and 16 (0.011%) tested DAT positive. Among the female donors, 15 (0.647%) had a history of blood transfusion and none of them tested DAT positive.

CONCLUSION:

We observed low levels of DAT positivity in healthy blood donors. Such donors should be regularly monitored to check for any long-term development of malignancies or clinical or laboratory indications of hemolysis. DAT-positive blood units do not supply the recipient at risk, which may cause negative consequences.
