The findings of this study have implications for policy-makers involved in shaping regulatory frameworks and industry standards related to supply chain management. By recognizing demand variability as a key driver of volatility, policymakers can tailor interventions and incentives to promote stability and efficiency in supply chains.
Category-aware Recycle Classification using Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Jung Woochan , Blofeld-Watson John
Published: February 2024

Generally, the filtration of non-recyclable garbage is conducted in order to make a material recycling process  efficient. However, this filtration task is very time-consuming and costly, since it is generally done manually. Thus,  it is significantly considered that an automation technique is necessary in solving this problem. There have been a  number of attempts to resolve this problem. The previous methods used the shallow convolutional neural network to  compose their network. However, these methods tend to display poor accuracy, which makes it impossible to be  applied in real-life situations. To solve this problem, I propose a novel category-aware recycle classification system.  The proposed system is composed of three models, which are garbage feature extractor, garbage classifier, and  recycle classifier. The input image is fed to the garbage feature extractor and then converted into feature maps. The  feature maps are then fed to each the garbage classifier and the recycle classifier. The garbage classifier predicts the  category of the input garbage image while the recycle classifier determines if the input is recyclable or not. Through  experiments, the proposed method outperforms the other state-of-the-art methods by a maximum 20.2% difference  in accuracy on Garbage Classification and Industrial and Residential Waste datasets.

Abordaje estereotáctico de tuberculoma que simula tumor del tronco encefálico. Presentación de caso y revisión de la literatura.
Authors: Mora Benites Henin , Piña Tornés Arlines Alina , Campozano Burgos Vanessa
Published: February 2024

Introducción: Se presenta el caso de un tuberculoma abordado por cirugía estereotáctica que simuló una lesión ocupante de tronco cerebral; se revisa la literatura publicada al respecto y se resalta la importancia de este proceder en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de estas lesiones.Caso Clínico: Paciente masculino de 49 años de edad sin antecedentes patológicos personales de enfermedad, con cuadro de cefalea occipital pulsátil e intensa, acompañada de síntomas deficitarios de pares craneales bajos, parestesias y déficit motor braquiocrural izquierdo. Los hallazgos imagenológicos mostraron compromiso del tronco cerebral por lesión anular, con realce a la administración del medio de contraste. Fue abordado quirúrgicamente por vía estereotáctica, a través de la fosa posterior con extirpación total de la lesión sin complicaciones y con buena evolución postoperatoria. El diagnóstico histopatológico evidenció un tuberculoma.Conclusiones: Aún cuando el tronco encefálico es una localización poco común de las manifestaciones neurológicas de la tuberculosis sobre el sistema nervioso central y en ausencia de una historia de tuberculosis, un tuberculoma debe ser incluido en el diagnóstico diferencial de lesiones ocupantes de espacio en esta región, debido a su capacidad para simular estas lesiones y su incidencia en países en vías de desarrollo. A pesar de que no se definan las diferencias imagenológicas entre este tipo de lesiones y las neoplasias malignas, la cirugía estereotáctica debe considerarse como una herramienta diagnóstica y una alternativa terapéutica, por sus ventajas al ser menos invasiva e igualmente eficaz, permitiendo llegar a un diagnóstico preciso y un tratamiento oportuno en base a criterios histopatológicos y de sospecha clínica.
Efecto de la estimulación eléctrica neural transcutánea (TENS) a nivel lumbar segmentario.
Authors: Moya Rigoberto , Rosales Javiera , Flores Constanza
Published: February 2024

En lo referente a agentes físicos utilizados en kinesiología, la electroestimulación transcutánea (TENS ) es muy utilizada para tratar, entre otros, problemas musculares, edemas y procesos dolorosos. El siguiente estudio tiene como propósito determinar los efectos hipoestésicos de la aplicación de TENS a nivel medular segmentario sobre las extremidades inferiores. Para el desarrollo del estudio se seleccionaron por conveniencia 14 estudiantes de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Chile (18-24 años), que fueron divididos en dos grupos aleatoriamente, uno control y otro experimental. Para ambos grupos se determinó el umbral de presión inicial mediante un algómetro de presión en el músculo cuádriceps de la extremidad inferior izquierda, luego el grupo experimental fue estimulado con TENS en el nivel lumbar correspondiente (L3-L4), mientras en el grupo control se simuló una situación similar sin paso de corriente. Finalmente, se midió nuevamente el umbral de presión en ambos grupos mediante el método inicial. Los resultados mostraron que existe una diferencia significativa (p=0,001) entre el umbral de presión previo y posterior a la aplicación de TENS en el grupo experimental, a diferencia del grupo control, que no mostró diferencias significativas (p=0,140), por lo que se demuestra el efecto hipoestésico que genera en las extremidades la aplicación de electroestimulación en el nivel lumbar correspondiente. Lo anterior resultaría de gran utilidad en la aplicación de TENS en pacientes con trastornos musculoesqueléticos, evitando el contacto con la zona lesionada, que puede presentar dolor, hiperalgesia o alodinia.
Inflation-Economic Growth Nexus in Nigeria: New Evidence on Threshold Effects
Authors: Bangura Morlai , Omojolaibi Joseph Ayoola
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of inflation on the economic growth of Nigeria from 1990 to 2021. Specifically, it aims to identify a threshold, if it exists, at which the impact of inflation on economic growth begins to shift.

Methodology: To assess the inflation threshold and its impact on economic growth, this study employed a novel method, the endogenous sample-splitting and threshold model developed by Hansen (2000).

Findings: The study reveals a non-linear relationship between inflation and economic growth in Nigeria, with a single inflation threshold of 12.88%. When inflation is below this threshold, it positively impacts economic growth, while exceeding it negatively impacts economic growth. Furthermore, higher trade openness negatively affects economic growth, and population growth positively impacts growth across all inflation regimes. Investments contribute to economic growth in the linear model, but their influence is statistically insignificant across the threshold regimes. Financial deepening impedes growth above the inflation threshold.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study expands upon the current body of research on estimating the inflation threshold for Nigeria using the Hansen (2000) sample splitting technique. To our knowledge, this is the first study that has adopted this technique to estimate inflation threshold for Nigeria. The Hansen (2000) threshold technique offers more flexibility in model specification. It allows for the estimation of parameters separately for different regimes, typically above and below the threshold. This flexibility can help in identifying distinct regimes, such as low and high inflation regimes, and capturing their unique characteristics. The research findings are crucial for shaping monetary policy in Nigeria, providing policymakers with valuable insights for establishing an inflation target that is in line with Nigeria's overarching goal of attaining sustained economic growth.
Afghanistan-Pakistan Political Relations (1963-73)
Authors: Khalili Zahid , Seerat Abdul Hameed , Keliwaal Ahmad Neshat
Published: February 2024

Purposed: History of Pak-Afghan relations reflects ups and downs. Prior to the creation of Pakistan on 14th August 1947, Afghanistan asked the British that, before their departure from India, they must return back those Pakhtoon dominant territories which had been annexed by British from Afghanistan. However, British quitted India without considering Afghan demand. Pakistan came into being in 1947;

Methodology: Afghanistan raised its territorial dispute with Pakistan. It was the first Muslim country which opposed Pakistan’s entry into the United Nations Organization (UNO). In 1949, Afghanistan’s Loya Jirga declared that they did not recognize the Durand Line as its international border with Pakistan. It also extended its support to an independent Pakhtoonistan and affirmed that it would continue its efforts in this regard.  Afghanistan’s this stand made the future course of Pak-Afghan relations.

Findings: The study highlights and analyzes the role of different events and personalities which affected Pak-Afghan relations deeply during 1963 till 1973.

Unique Contributor to Theory, Policy and Practice: It concludes that the issues of Durand Line and Pakhtoonistan are the two major bottle-necks in the way of cordial relations between the two countries.

Block inversion on finite rich ℘ words
Authors: Arulprakasam R. , Kumari R. Krishna , Janaki K.
Published: February 2024

A unified study of inversions on ℘ words resulted from the importance of words and inversions in molecular biology. In this study, we generalize the idea of inversion by using a technique called block inversion on finite rich ℘ words. A comparison of block inversion on finite total words and on finite ℘ words is made. We conclude that the total number of ℘ words in the block inversion set of a finite rich ℘ word of length n is strictly less than 2n–1.

Authors: Valle Ramon
Published: February 2024

Temos o prazer de compartilhar que trabalhamos com a comunidade Rust para adicionar suporte a LLVM CFI e LLVM CFI entre linguagens (e LLVM KCFI e LLVM KCFI entre linguagens) ao compilador Rust como parte do nosso trabalho no Rust Exploit Mitigations Project Group. Esta é a primeira implementação de forward-edge control flow protection, de fina granularidade, entre linguagens, para binários de linguagem mista que conhecemos.

À medida que a indústria continua a explorar a adoção de Rust, ataques entre linguagens em binários de linguagem mista (também conhecidos como “binários mistos”), e criticamente a ausência de suporte a forward-edge control flow protection no compilador Rust, são uma grande preocupação de segurança ao migrar gradualmente de C e C++ para Rust, e quando código compilado em C ou C++ e Rust compartilham o mesmo espaço de endereço virtual.
Applications of Blockchain in Tourism Industry
Authors: Takale Dattatray G. , Damke Sahil , Damke Sahil , Mehra Sujal , Burkule Sanskruti , Tadge Nidhi
Published: February 2024

Tourism is a rapidly growing industry, even after seeing some drop back during the last few years due to COVID-19. The latest trend shows that it is gaining its position again to become a booming industry of the century, but as the industry gains pace, it faces several challenges that require modern solutions. With the coming up of new technologies, blockchain technology has gained rapid attention not only since it maintains a secure and decentralized record of transactions across the world but also due to its safe access to identifying data while enhancing accessibility for individuals in need in sectors like banking, travel, healthcare, and education. The current tourism industry fails the tourist by not providing a decentralized payment system for advance booking of hotels and vehicles, and the foreign tax required for such transactions increases the further cost for a tourist. With no real-time luggage tracking available, tourists are always on the lookout for their luggage. Blockchain technology improves the accuracy and reliability of baggage mishandling coding by providing a decentralized, tamper-proof record of all baggage handling events. If blockchain technology is incorporated into the tourism industry, many issues in the industry get solved, and it can grow more rapidly, helping economies all over the world by providing smart solutions to difficult problems and thus improving the experience of tourists by providing safety, a decentralized payment system, preventing fraud, and enhancing security by securing the data from unauthorized access. This research helps in further identifying the problem in the tourism industry and solving it by implementing blockchain technology, thus improving economies relying on the tourism industry.

Authors: Tiwari Sadhana , Priyadarshi Abhishek
Published: February 2024

The present study aims to investigate the relationships among India's financial development, international trade, and the evolution of economic growth. The study's primary focal areas have been the real GDP, which has replaced economic growth, export and import services, international commerce, gross capital creation, and exchange rate as independent variables. More frequent traders are often found to have excellent advancement rates and to have a positive influence on the growth of the financial industry and the economy. The research will also examine if there is a sustained correlation between various macroeconomic factors in India from 2000 to 2018, such as trade growth, financial development, and other macroeconomic variables. Regarding the previous sentence, the study employed the Johansen co-integration approach, KPSS, ADF, and PP to ascertain if financial development, economic growth, and trade variables continue to be associated over an extended period of time. These techniques were also applied to investigate the long-term relationships between particular variables.
