Published: May 2024

The purpose of this effort is to promote equitable environments and allow people with hearing disabilities to communicate in their native language by proposing an AI-based sign language translator. We used a transformer neural network, which can analyze over 500 data points from a person's face and gestures, to translate sign language into text. The translator can expand, produce new datasets, and build models for sign language recognition thanks to our machine learning process. As a proof of concept, we developed an interpreter for emergency calls using more than 200 sign language words. The main goal is to empower people who are deaf to participate in social, political, economic, and cultural spheres of life. We see a lot of people with illnesses, including blindness, deafness, and dumbness, every day. They have trouble interacting with other people. The suggested method can translate sign language into text and voice since this study describes two-way communication between deaf, dumb, and normal individuals.

Authors:   students Department of Computer Engineering, Jawahar Education Society’s Institute Of Technology, Management And Research, Nashik Maharashtra, India., Ranshevare Sudhanshu
Published: May 2024

Gesture Recognition has become increasingly relevant in the field of human-computer interaction, as it is a natural way to convey information. We aim to create a system that can identify specific human gestures and utilize them to transmit information for device control. This enables users to operate a computer by performing a specific gesture in front of the camera. The below approach can detect multiple hands simultaneously, that is left and right, each having its own purpose. It is detected by a standard webcam, and requires no extra equipment. The left hand is responsible in controlling the brightness and the right hand will be responsible for controlling the volume. Here we have used different computer vision techniques which includes border detection, and convex-hull detection. The system was able to detect the distance between two points present in the hand, namely fingertip of thumb as well as index finger. Then it calculates the distance between them which is used to apply for volume and brightness, i.e. If the fingers are pinched, the distance between them becomes “zero”, thereby setting the volume or brightness to zero. If it has the maximum distance ,then the volume or brightness is set to maximum that is “100”.The Volume or brightness is decided based upon the hand. The primary aim here is to enable users to adjust the volume as well as the brightness of their system with ease, either by increasing or decreasing it. This offers a promising alternative to touch-based controls as well as voice-based controls.

TOURISM: Tourism is the movement of people to destinations outside their usual environment for various reasons, including leisure, business, or other purposes. These visitors' activities, known as the visitor economy, can have a significant impact on the visited locations economically, socially, and culturally. This can involve enjoying recreational activities, relaxation, and pleasure, often with the help of established businesses offering services and experiences. Tourism is a multifaceted and dynamic industry that has evolved significantly over the years. It encompasses the movement of people to destinations outside their usual environment for personal or recreational purposes, contributing substantially to the global economy and generating employment opportunities and income for millions. The tourism industry can be broadly categorized into two primary types: international tourism, where tourists travel to foreign lands, and domestic tourism, where tourists explore their own country. The most frequently visited countries by international tourists include France, Spain, the United States, China, Italy, Turkey, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Tourism serves as a crucial industry, providing employment and income to millions of people worldwide and contributing significantly to the economies of various nations. The steady rise in popularity of tourism since the 1950s can be attributed to advancements in technology, the proliferation of the internet, the increasing availability of paid vacations, demographic changes, and media exposure. The tourism life cycle, proposed by Professor Richard Butler, consists of four stages: initial discovery, growth, decline, and regeneration. This model helps us understand the pattern of popularity that tourist destinations follow. Tourism is not limited to leisure activities; it also includes business tourism, cultural travel, environmental effects of aviation, international tourism advertising, medical tourism, and science tourism, among others. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) plays a crucial role in promoting responsible, sustainable, and universally accessible tourism, providing statistics and insights on key indicators for inbound and outbound tourism globally. In conclusion, tourism is a complex and multifaceted industry that has a significant impact on the global economy and local communities. It encompasses various forms, including international and domestic tourism, and serves as a crucial source of employment and income for millions of people worldwide.
An Osteoperotic Women was Treated with a Passive Weight-Bearing Protocal
Authors: Grabie Yisroel , Habib Naiem , Simone Joseph J.
Published: May 2024

Women lose a sizable amount of bone mineral density (BMD) each year for the first five years after menopause, establishing a vast community of patients requiring continuing management. Common pharmacotherapies used presently impose a financial burden and are also laden with side effects that limit the treatment duration. It has been well established that weight-bearing activity (WBA) programs provide substantial efficacy in increasing and maintaining BMD in this population. Furthermore, WBE has been shown to affect biological markers associated with bone health.
 
We present a case of a woman who visited an Osteopathic Medical Treatment (OMT) clinic with low bone mineral density and a complaint of back pain. She subsequently was diagnosed with several somatic dysfunctions and underwent treatment with an OMT protocol that was intended to replicate the stress of WBA. After seven treatments, the patient underwent laboratory studies that suggested that bone turnover had occurred. To date, we believe that this finding is novel to the osteopathic community and we hope to further elucidate our findings by pursuing a future study.
Lipid Nanoparticles-The Future Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Authors: Kabariti Moshe
Published: May 2024

Lipid nanoparticles are a promising new way of treating many diseases. Diabetes Mellitus is when one has increased blood glucose levels. It’s a prevalent disease with millions of people in the U.S being diagnosed with it. The common antidiabetic drug called Metformin is currently the main drug being used for the treatment of diabetes and is taken two or three times daily. Researchers looked at nanomedicine as a potential new medicinal agent for the management of diabetes that will still give similar results to Metformin and need a lower dose. They saw that combining the compounds glycyrrhizin and thymoquinone into a nanoparticle called GT has been shown to significantly reduce blood glucose levels in rats more than when compared to their individual forms. This combined nanoformulation required inexpensive chemicals just like Metformin and only needed to be administered once daily, so was successful in being a new option for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Another disease nanomedicine can be used to treat is breast cancer.
This disease is more commonly seen in women and is when the cells of the breast begin to divide uncontrollably. Triple-negative breast cancer is a more complicated form of breast cancer since it doesn't have any of the common receptors used to target the disease. Researchers turned to nanomedicine to treat this form of breast cancer as normal chemotherapy was ineffective. They combined a TGF-B inhibitor called Tranilast which is an approved anti-fibrotic and antihistamine drug with Doxil nanomedicine. This was shown to normalize the tumor microenvironment, increase perfusion and oxygenation, and enhance anti-tumor immunity. Both nanomedicine approaches show how lipid nanoparticles can pave the road for the future treatment of these diseases.
How-To in Short-Form: A Framework for Analyzing Short-Format Instructional Content on TikTok
Authors: Vera Julie A. , McDonald David W. , Zachry Mark
Published: May 2024

Purpose: TikTok’s rise in popularity has invited creators across a broad spectrum of interests to contribute content to the platform, including non-expert, instructional subject matter. Previously, technical communication scholars have described ways to assess video instruction
online, in relatively long-format lengths. Our project outlines a framework for assessing the video production qualities of instructional content across TikTok. Method: We performed a content analysis of existing frameworks and sets of heuristics for assessing long-format instructional
videos. We then analyzed a set of instructional content found across the TikTok platform and analyzed them using previous frameworks. After comparing and contrasting, we developed a new framework for assessing short-format video instructional content. Results: After assessing long-format
instructional video frameworks and instructional content found across TikTok, we found that many dimensions and heuristics from previous frameworks applied to short-format video. Unique to short-form video were the dimensions of tempo and level of detail, which describe the pacing of the video
from a temporal perspective and the fidelity of instruction, respectively. Instruction on TikTok can take place without explicit step-by-step instruction. Conclusion: We found that many dimensions and heuristics from long-form frameworks carry over to short-form video, but there
are features, social norms, and creative norms on TikTok that lend themselves well to “bite-sized” instruction.
The Technical Communicator as Artist: Rhetoric, Aesthetics, and Form in the Workplace
Authors: Slater Jarron , Rosselot-Merritt Jeremy
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This article describes how the specialized, rhetorical aesthetic theory of form, posited by Kenneth Burke, highlights humanistic and artistic elements of technical communication exemplified in the technical workplace. A specialized way of understanding how types of communication
build relationships between author and audience, the theory of form offers a unique way to contextualize how an artist-rhetor creates and fulfills audience desires, expectations, and appetites. Method: The authors first contextualize technical communication as a field of artistic
and creative practice; they then expand that context using Burke???s rhetorical aesthetic theory of form as a framework for application and examine that application in the context of the technical workplace, using a self-reported case study from industry as an example. Results:
The rhetorical aesthetic theory of form provides a way of rethinking technical communication practice, emphasizing the humanistic and artistic elements of technical communication in the workplace. Conclusion: Looking at technical communication with an interrelated view of rhetoric
and aesthetics can provide scholars, teachers, and practitioners with new insights for how technical communicators can see themselves and their audiences as complex people who have the capacities for arguing, influencing, and persuading–and also with capacities for drama, story, feeling,
creating, and being moved by art.

Authors: Şendoğdu A. Aslan , Koçyiğit Nezahat , Yıldız Esra
Published: May 2024

Hubris syndrome is defined as a managerial disease caused by the power possessed by people in managerial positions, and gives rise to positive and negative outcomes in organizations. For this purpose, the banking sector was chosen as the research area due to the fact that banking sector is one of the areas where the hubris syndrome can most commonly be seen due to the known characteristics of the sector such as tough working conditions and working goals. Data were obtained via interviews carried out with 12 managers working in the field of banking with a semi-structured interview form using the phenomenology experience research pattern, which is one of the qualitative research models. Maxqda 2022 data analysis software was used for data analysis. Study results according to data received from managers revealed that the characteristics of people suffering from hubris syndrome are seeing oneself as perfect and superior, believing that anything can be done with authority, the utopical goals given to lower-level employees and disregarding opinions of others. The reasons for the emergence of the syndrome are the problems in the institutional structure and functioning, bullying and exclusion experienced in the past and the lack of clarity about the authority and responsibilities of people within the organization. When the organizational impacts of Hubris syndrome are taken into account, two types of impacts are observed, such as the impacts on the organization and the impacts on the employees. People with the hubris syndrome harm the organization, prevent the emergence of new ideas and decrease the motivation of employees.

Authors: Jaiswal Sandeep Kumar , Agrawal Rohit
Published: May 2024

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) has emerged as a powerful methodology for developing complex software systems by emphasizing a deep understanding of the business domain. By bridging the gap between business requirements and object-oriented modeling, DDD enables developers to create software solutions that are not only aligned with business needs but also maintainable, adaptable, and scalable. This research paper explores the principles, practices, and benefits of DDD, illustrating its effectiveness through case studies and examples. We discuss how DDD fosters collaboration between domain experts and developers, encourages the creation of a ubiquitous language, and enables the modeling of complex domains through bounded contexts, aggregates, and domain events. Additionally, we examine the role of strategic design in DDD, including context mapping, bounded context, and the use of tactical patterns such as entities, value objects, and repositories. Through this comprehensive analysis, we demonstrate how DDD serves as a bridge between business requirements and object-oriented modeling, facilitating the development of software systems that are both technically sound and aligned with the needs of the business.
Analyzing the Impact of Dividend Policy on the Value of Listed Companies- Insights from India
Authors: Rajan Dr G B Sabari
Published: May 2024

The objective of this study is to enrich the literature by investigating the effects of dividend policies on the value of listed companies in India. The data used in this study consists of 596 listed companies on the NSE Stock Exchange for the period 2021 to 2024. Using the Fixed Effects Model (FEM), the empirical findings confirm that the dividend payout ratio has a positive relationship with the value of the listed company. This finding supports the bird-in-hand theory, suggesting that investors prefer to receive dividends in cash rather than capital gains in the future. Additionally, this study finds that dividend payment methods significantly affect the value of listed companies. In fact, cash dividends positively affect the value of the listed company. The evidence is consistent with the signalling theory, indicating that payment for dividends in cash is a good signal from the company.

This conceptual discussion paper examines the costs of customs and borders across the supply chain. It does that by considering relevant literature and looking back at the authors’ respective contributions in the subject (of almost one and a half decades) with subsequent reflections. A key component of this paper is a cost model that seeks to describe relevant costs that can arise. That model is complemented with two case studies that explore how costs might be reduced. The first case study concerns the import of meat from Mercosur countries into the United Kingdom. The second case study concerns the shipment of flowers from Kenya into the Netherlands. A key finding is the scope for reform through improved information and data sharing and coordinated border management.

There is a lack of overall efficiency in Sub-Saharan Africa’s logistics systems, with a large contributor to this problem being inefficient customs processes and unnecessary customs delays. Many comparisons have been drawn between the levels of efficiency of different countries and regions, especially in recent trade facilitation research, and some models have been developed to demonstrate how the efficiency of a customs operation can potentially be improved. The development of effective policies, strategies and operational procedures, supported by business intelligence and predictive models, however, depends on an in-depth understanding of the reasons for long delays in the customs process. There are multiple factors impacting the customs and logistics process; in order to progress towards improved solutions it is essential to identify the areas of worst performance, their common denominators and the underlying causes that contribute to low observed performance. This requires exploratory analysis of a large set of data representative of an overall customs operation. This article describes the first attempt to analyse transaction-level data and derive exploratory statistics representative of customs operations as implemented in South Africa. The most important process outcomes from the perspective of both trade and customs are defined, the key input factors are identified, and performance measures are extracted from data exchanged between the customs authority and cargo consignors during the period September 2014 to September 2016. The time duration per category for the completion of the customs process was measured, as well as the effectiveness of the customs authority in screening consignments for inspection. The study indicates that, for the selected dataset, of all shipments delayed by customs, more than 90 per cent were delayed unnecessarily, indicating inefficient risk identification in the South African customs process. This study highlights the need for improved customs processes in the southern African context to ensure more efficient trade.

Authors: Li Xiangyang
Published: May 2024

As a new industry, cross-border e-commerce continues to boom and make significant contributions to economic development. China is an important participant and benefits from the fast development of the industry, especially in retail import of crossborder e-commerce. The tax and customs policies associated with this cross-border e-commerce have been adjusted dynamically with the development of the industry, especially in recent years. This paper examines the evolution and possible problems of tax and customs policies for retail import cross-border e-commerce in China. Section one provides an overview of development of cross-border e-commerce in China; section two gives a detailed description of the evolution of the relevant tax and customs policies; section three explains why personal postal articles and the associated tax and customs regulations are related to retail import cross-border e-commerce and how tax issues and risks arise there; and section four provides a conclusion and outlook.
Data Mining in Customs Risk Detection With Cost-Sensitive Classification
Authors: Zhou Xin
Published: May 2024

To improve the efficiency and accuracy of risk management in Customs, this paper explores the data mining process for risk detection with decision tree and boosting algorithms. The data are characterised by high dimensionality, imbalance and cost sensitivity. In particular, misjudging a false declaration as truthful can be more harmful than misjudging a truthful declaration as false. Therefore, considering the different costs of misclassification, we suggest taking a cost-sensitive approach with cost matrix in data mining. The inspection results are set as the prediction target variable to train the classifiers and make predictions. A data mining model of binary classification is formulated after feature selection and rebalancing. We evaluate its performance with classic measures of classification and customs risk assessment. The results show that the performance has been significantly improved with boosting while the output is less sensitive to cost-ratio under boosting.

A cukorbetegség az egész szervezet működésére hatással van, hiszen alapvető anyagcsere-folyamatokat változtat meg. A diabetesesek száma fokozatosan emelkedik, egyre fiatalabb korosztályt egyre nagyobb arányban érint. Mindamellett, hogy jelentős életmódváltásra van szükség cukorbetegként, a gyógyszeres kezelés valamilyen formája is elengedhetetlen. Sokszor csak a testmozgás és a diéta fontosságára hívják fel a szakemberek a betegek figyelmét, elsikkad az orális prevenció fontossága. Számtalan orális elváltozás (például szájszárazság, ínygyulladás) léphet fel a helytelen szájhigiénia következtében a cukorbetegeknél. Fontos ezen elváltozásokra és megelőzésük módjára felhívni a páciensek figyelmét az egészségügyi ellátás minden szintjén.

Fiduciary guarantees are material guarantees that are most widely used by banks. Fiduciary guarantees have been used by the Indonesian people since the Dutch colonial era. Based on the Circular Letter of the Directorate General of AHU Number AHU-06.OT.03.01 of 2013 concerning the Implementation of the Electronic Fiduciary Registration Administration System, registration of Fiduciary guarantees is no longer carried out at the Fiduciary registration office but is registered on the official website, namely https://Fidusia.ahu .go.id The implementation of the elimination of Fiduciary guarantees registered in the online system is the obligation of the Fiduciary recipients, but in practice there are still Fiduciary recipients who do not fulfill their obligations to notify the removal of Fiduciary guarantees after the Fiduciary giver pays off their debts. There is no sanction that regulates if the Fiduciary recipient does not notify the cancellation of the Fiduciary guarantee which results in this obligation being not adhered to. The method used is the method of writing empirical law. The results that can be concluded in this study are that if the Fiduciary recipient does not notify the deletion of the Fiduciary guarantee, then the Fiduciary guarantee concerned cannot be re-registered.
