Published: August 2023

Time is a limited product for every person. Nowadays time poverty is an emerging issue and symptom of more fundamental problems. A man is said to be time-poor if he/she is not able to allocate their time properly among all the activities, which leads to poor health, mental stress, low productivity and reduced wellbeing. The essential target of the review is to investigate the effect of time poverty from the perspectives of the divine economics framework. The existing empirical study took a unique element to enlighten time poverty. The work done in the present study is attractive in the sense that no study has been carried out to analyze the impact of religiosity, religious beliefs, spirituality, spiritual deeds and ethical values in contrast with socio-economic, demographic and labour market indicators to analyze time poverty, and also observed the impact of these factors on the wellbeing of the individuals. Primary data is used in the study. This affiliation acquires wanted data by using the fundamental Divine economics questionnaire survey (2013). During the survey, 406 respondents were interviewed. Composite indexes have been developed for our variables of interest like time poverty, religiosity, spirituality and ethical values. Keeping in view the nature of the dependent variable, the econometric techniques used in the study were ordered logit model and logistic regression after considering the hierarchical nature of the dataset. The results indicate that more religious, spiritual, and ethical persons were found to be less time-poor as compared to others. Age and gender have a significant and negative association with time poverty. The significant association between time poverty and being married shows that marriage increases the amount of time that is devoted to committed activities. Health status, job satisfaction, and occupation are important factors in determining individuals’ wellbeing. More religious, spiritual and ethical awareness needs to be spread among individuals. The Government should introduce appropriate policies regarding working hours and minimum wage rate. To lead a happy and successful life, one should learn the art of time management, not waste time on useless activities, and make schedules and allocate time properly.
Gender Construction, Discrimination, and Identity: Critical Discourse Analysis of The Pearl That Broke Its Shell
Authors: Imran Muhammad , Rahman Mujib , Sahrish Ms
Published: August 2023

This study is an effort to create awareness related to gender construction, discrimination, and identity in literary discourse structures. Gender is usually built and enacted through implicit ideological propositions to sustain and maintain existing social structures by using language. The study attempts to examine and analyze Nadia Hashmi’s The Pearl That Broke Its Shell from the perspective of Critical Discourse Analysis. It is an analytical exploration to investigate ideologically constructed gender identity and gender discrimination through linguistic structures in the discourses of the selected novel. To analyze extracts from the selected novels, the researcher has applied Norman Fairclough’s Tri-dimensional approach to CDA. This approach analyses the text from three dimensions, textual analysis, process analysis, and social analysis. Hashmi’s novels revealed the socially and culturally moulded discourse structures in the novels. The discourse structures of novels are deeply rooted in Afghan social structures to sustain power relations and social order. It was explored that language is used to control, dominate, and suppress the less powerful and weak groups of society. The existing patriarchal structures were implied in the discourse structures, which are the product of social and cultural norms.
The current state of cyber insurance and regulation in the context of investment efficiency and moral hazard: A literature review
Authors: Wells-Dietel Brenda , Erkan-Barlow Asligul
Published: August 2023

This manuscript systematically reviews several strands of literature on cybersecurity and draws attention to the possible moral hazard problem associated with managers’ choices on information security-related investments. First, a careful synthesis of the literature shows that managers have incentives to behave myopically and to defer investments in data security to meet the financial market’s earnings expectations. Second, although adequate cyber risk management involves both risk mitigation and risk transfer, risk transfer through the purchase of cyber insurance is problematic. Despite the increase of insurers and written premiums suggesting growth in the cyber insurance industry, the most recent industry reports point out the increase in loss ratios, the decrease in available cyber insurance limits, and the implementation of more restrictive coverage as a sign of insurers controlling their risk exposure. Finally, existing regulatory frameworks in the U.S. and the European Union (EU) do not negate the trend of increasing numbers of cyberattacks. In conclusion, we argue that an optimal level of regulation is needed but has yet to be enacted to reduce the cyber risk exposure of businesses and insurers, as well as to protect consumers and the overall economy.

Authors: Shoaiba Mansoor, Marium Din
Published: August 2023

21st century skills are regarded as the capabilities and the competencies which are considered as essential for improving the ways of thinking and learning and for success in the modern contemporary world. The study directed at investigating the integration and inclusion of 21st century skills in recent curriculum reforms i.e Single National Curriculum (SNC) at Primary Level via document analysis. The research followed method of qualitative thematic analysis for scrutiny of General Science Curriculum at Primary Level. The investigation thoroughly examined the content of the General Science Curriculum (Grade 5) via document analysis to seek its provision for insertion and inclusion of 21st century skills in the teaching-learning process. The investigation also sought narratives of curriculum developers and experts regarding incorporation of 21st century skills in the curricular reforms through interviews. The research conducted thematic analysis to scrutinize the SNC document and to further analyse the semi-structured interview data. The study found that sufficient consideration is being given for integrating 21st century skills in SNC in the subject of science but there is an acute need of raising sufficient awareness and professional capacity building of teachers regarding their enclosure in the education mainstream. Insufficient teacher training and scarcity of teaching learning resources are the major challenges in this regard.

Published: August 2023

This quantitative survey was designed to investigate the symptoms of depression and the level of generalized anxiety in adults with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). For this purpose, 90 adults with ASC, aged 17 years and above with mild autistic symptoms, were selected through the convenient sampling method. The study findings, using the “Generalized Anxiety Disorder” (GAD-7) tool, indicated that adults with ASC experience mild to moderate levels of anxiety, with irritability and annoyance being the highest-scoring items. The study further utilized the "Patient Health Questionnaire" (PHQ-9), to assess depression, which revealed that the majority of adults with ASC experienced moderate levels of depression, with symptoms occurring on several days in their lives. These depression and anxiety symptoms in adults with ASC are most common and there could be multiple factors behind these symptoms which affects their quality of life. It is important that mental health teams assess adults with ASC to determine the reasons behind their mental health-related issues and provide appropriate support and treatment. Raising awareness about autism and other disabilities is also crucial to reduce stigma and promote acceptance in society

EVALUATING THE CRACK TIP FORMATION AND PROPAGATION ENERGY OF A TROUSER TEAR SPECIMEN
Authors: Windslow Richard J. , Duncan Aaron M. , Hohenberger Travis W. , Busfield James J. C.
Published: August 2023

An elastomer’s tear behavior is commonly characterized through trouser tear tests. Using a well-understood analytical solution, the force at which the sample tears is used to calculate the elastomer’s tearing energy. By characterizing the tear behavior over a range of rates, a tear profile can then be built that describes the overall fracture resistance of the compound. However, some of the key assumptions that underpin the analytical solution may not be realistic, particularly in cases where the crack propagates in an unsteady manner. Within this article, these deviations are further studied through the use of physical testing and finite element modeling. The work demonstrates a heavy reliance on the sample’s thickness, beyond the levels currently appreciated. Furthermore, the work highlights the presence of a formation zone prior to the point at which the crack propagates uniformly. It is suggested that when evaluating an elastomer’s tear behavior, both the formation zone and propagation zone energies be captured.
BROADBAND DIELECTRIC CHARACTERIZATION OF CARBON BLACK–REINFORCED NATURAL RUBBER

Published: August 2023

Natural rubber compounds reinforced with two different carbon blacks (N134 and N330) at various concentrations were characterized using very broadband dielectric spectroscopy from around 0.1 Hz to 0.3 THz using four different impedance and network analysis technologies. Percolation behavior was observed when the testing electrical frequency was below a certain range, which can be linked to the presence of percolated carbon black networks. When above a critical frequency level, the real part of AC conductivity or the permittivity tended to have a simple exponential relationship with the volume fraction of carbon black rather than a percolation-like behavior with the carbon black volume fraction and was no longer sensitive to carbon black networks. The AC conductivity derived via complex impedance was also strongly influenced by the choice of calculation model when the material was around or below the percolation threshold.

В результате проведения бактериологического исследования 24 проб (8 проб цельной крови, 9 смывов со слизистой носовой полости, 7 проб патологического материала от одного животного), доставленных из Абайской области, с/о Абыралы, к/х «Санжар», участок Кожамбек, к/х «Кызылтас», участок «Айым» выделены и идентифицированы 9 культур бактерий Listeria spp. Положительными оказались 6 проб смывов со слизистой носовой полости и 3 пробы патологического материала (сердце, селезенка и лимфоузлы). При посеве на селективные среды цельной крови животных роста бактерий не наблюдалось.

При исследовании морфологических, культуральных свойств для выделенных культур было характерным легкое помутнение бульона,  появление мелких росинчатых колоний на МПА, TSYEA, наличие бета-гемолиза на кровяном агаре и обнаружение при микроскопии препаратов грамположительных палочек с закругленными краями, расположенных параллельно друг другу или в виде буквы V. Колонии листерий в проходящем свете имели голубую окраску с зеленоватым оттенком и мелкозернистую структуру. При росте на среде Palcam образуют темно-серые или черные колонии, среда вокруг колоний почернела. Полученные результаты позволяют отнести выделенные культуры к роду Listeria spp.

Исследование биохимических свойств выделенных культур с использованием биохимического набора HiMotility TM для листерий позволили идентифицировать виды листерий: Listeria monocytogenes и Listeria ivannovii. Выделенные культуры листерий вызвали гибель белых мышей, что подтверждает их патогенные свойства.

Лекарственные средства изготовленные из растений, обладающих целебными свойствами, занимают достойное место в профилактике и лечении многих заболеваний. В нашей стране насчитывается более 800 видов различных растений, обладающих целебными свойствами. Из них лишь 10% используются в клинической медицине и ветеринарной практике. Следует отметить, что во многих передовых странах более 50% лекарств получают из природного сырья, в основном из лекарственных растений. Изучение достижений традиционной медицины и ветеринарной практики по использованию лекарственных растений, несомненно, будет способствовать увеличению запасов лекарственных средств в арсенале практической медицины и ветеринарии. В статье приводятся сведения о технологии приготовления экстрактов из сбора растений, обладающих лечебными свойствами, в частности, освещаются процессы их сбора, сушки, экстракции. Полученные данные исследований свидетельствуют о том, что экстракты, изготовленные из сбора лекарственных растений, обладают выраженным иммуннокоррегирующим действием. Установлено, что под воздействием фитопрепарата выявлены положительные изменения в динамике морфологических показателей крови ягнят, больных острым бронхитом. В течение 5, 10, 15 суток сроков проведения исследования отмечается повышение концентрации эритроцитов, гемоглобина в крови по сравнению с ягнятами контрольной группы и фоновым показателем в среднем до 10,2-20,1%, скорости оседания эритроцитов - до 18,2-31,9%, количество сегментоядерных нейтрофилов и моноцитов - до 10,3-66,4%., а наоборот, отмечено, что показатели лейкоцитов (на 8,9-20,5%), палочкоядерных нейтрофилов, эозинофилов и лимфоцитов значительно снижаются.

В статье приведены результаты бактериологического исследования биоматериала, выделенного из пораженных глаз крупного рогатого скота из пяти хозяйствующих субъектов Алматинской, Акмолинской, Западно-Казахстанской областей. Биоматериал получен от чистопородного (Абердин-ангусского, Герефордского, Голштинского), местного (казахского акбаса, неместного чистопородного) скота. Проведен мониторинг референтных штаммов Moraxella bovis АТСС 17948ТМ и Moraxella bovoculi 1259ТМ и проверены их физико-химические, морфологические, тинкториальные и другие биологические свойства. В результате была выявлена следующая картина: Moraxella spp. составила 11,62% от общего количества патогенов. Среди выявленных сопутствующих микроорганизмов доминировала кокковая микрофлора - Staphylococcus spp. (50,38%) и Streptococcus spp. (48,06%). Также были выделены Escherichia spp. - 31,78%, Proteus spp. - 30,23%,  Acinetobacter spp. - 3,87%, Pseudomonas spp.-  1,55%, Listeria spp. - 0,75%. Результат серологического теста составил 22,4% и показал чувствительность на 13% по сравнению с бактериологическим методом. Бактериальная флора, выделенная в небольших количествах, сама по себе не приводит к развитию кератоконъюнктивита, считается секундарной и затрудняет течение болезни. Из 9-ти смывов из пораженных глаз, полученных из хозяйств Акмолинской области, выявлена немотода Thelazia rhodesi.

Impacto social de un almacén temporal centralizado en España
Authors: Fernández-Arias Pablo , Vergara Diego , Antón-Sancho Álvaro
Published: August 2023

Un almacén temporal centralizado (ATC) es una instalación industrial diseñada para guardar en un único lugar el combustible gastado y los residuos radiactivos de alta actividad generados en las centrales nucleares españolas. Puesto en marcha en 2011, el plan de instalar el ATC en la localidad conquense de Villar de Cañas fue el desenlace a un largo proceso de selección y de decisiones políticas. Por el momento, esta infraestructura de importancia nacional aún no ha sido construida, e incluso se plantea una posible cancelación definitiva del proyecto. Sin embargo, ante el calendario previsto para el cierre de las centrales nucleares españolas, la necesidad de una estrategia a largo plazo de gestión de los residuos nucleares se hace cada vez más necesaria. El presente trabajo desarrolla una investigación cuantitativa acerca del impacto social que tuvo en su momento esta decisión sobre el emplazamiento del ATC. Para ello se plantea la opinión de 86 ciudadanos y ciudadanas de las zonas directamente afectadas: Villar de Cañas y municipios circundantes. Los resultados reflejan la ausencia de consenso social en la región afectada por la instalación del ATC en lo que se refiere a su necesidad, seguridad y perspectiva de desarrollo.

Este artigo analisa o lugar que as mulheres ocupam na educação superior brasileira, especificamente nas universidades e nos institutos federais do país. Assim, oferece uma radiografia da situação das docentes e estudantes, utilizando uma metodologia qualitativa. Para produzir os indicadores de gênero e ciência, foi necessário um exaustivo trabalho de solicitação de dados e, diante da falta de informações disponíveis, foi preciso solicitar dados a todas as universidades federais e institutos federais do Brasil. Os resultados da pesquisa revelam a existência de segregação horizontal, em virtude da qual as mulheres se concentram em determinadas áreas do conhecimento, e de segregação vertical, que as condena às posições mais baixas na carreira acadêmica. Especificamente nos institutos federais, a segregação é ainda maior, principalmente entre docentes. No entanto, é importante destacar que a presença das mulheres nas áreas consideradas masculinas tende a crescer entre docentes quando comparada com as estudantes de graduação. Compreender como se produz o acesso e a participação das mulheres na ciência e tecnologia contribui para a reflexão sobre a situação delas e também com possíveis planejamentos de ações necessárias para abordar as desigualdades de gênero na ciência brasileira.

The yearly changes in atmospheric temperature are projected to negatively affect food production in several locations. Rice exposure to low-temperature stress can decrease plant growth in different stages, notably during the reproductive period. A field experiment was conducted in ARS Gangavathi, Karnataka. The experiment laid out in factorial randomized block design where four different rice genotypes (GNV-10-89, GNV-1801, GNV-1108 and BPT-5204) transplanted under two different dates of transplanting D1 (normal Kharif-15th September) and D2 (late Kharif-30th September). The low temperature during the reproductive stage was 14.1°C which inhibited the morphological, physiological, phenological and yield traits of rice crop. All the observations were recorded at the flowering stage (95 DAT). The results revealed that morphological traits like plant height, number of green leaves, number of productive tillers, total dry matter, total leaf area and root length were high in D1 than D2 (101.6 & 99.76 cm, 21.5 & 16.1 hill-1, 14.5 & 11.5 hill-1, 29.0 &21.1 g hill-1, 3.79 & 4.11 dm2 hill-1 and 14.6 & 18.2 cm), physiological traits such as photosynthetic rate (14.55 & 13.45 µ mole CO2 m-2 s-1) and Transpiration rate (12.86 & 11.01 m mole H2O m-2 s-1) similarly phenological traits, DPI (80.6 & 90.5 days), DF (98.3 & 102.3 days), DPM (116.7 & 127.2 days) and DHM (124.7 & 135.4 days). Reproductive traits like pollen viability (91.3 & 87.4 %) and spikelet fertility (84.3 & 75.9 %) and grain yield (7744.8 & 6531.3 kg ha-1). Among the genotypes GNV-10-89 (10270.9 kg ha-1) recorded the higher grain yield and lower was observed in BPT-5204 (3937.5 kg ha-1) these results conclude that the late Kharif transplanting was not suitable for this region as there was sharp drop-down of temperature (14.1°C) at a reproductive stage which leads to high spikelet sterility. By looking at the results obtained, among four genotypes GNV-10-89 recorded high grain yield followed by GNV-1108 these two genotypes are considered as moderately tolerant, GNV-1801 is moderately sensitive and BPT-5204 is sensitive to low-temperature stress.

The leasehold forestry aims to free the poor from a complicated cycle of poverty by institutionalizing and manipulating the local resources. This study is based on the structured and semi-structured questionnaire and an examination of both published and unpublished records. The study was carried out in 283 Leasehold Forest User Groups (LHFUGs) of the Gorkha district representing 8 different clusters. This study makes a clear effort to identify livelihood improvement in the Gorkha district through leasehold forest by taking into consideration livelihood assets (natural, physical, human, financial, and social). The condition of livelihood capitals in the study area was examined using a judgmental scoring technique that looked at the changes that occurred in five different capitals. Three indicators have been used for each of the assets and scores; +1, -1, and 0 were given to represent improved, degraded, and remained unchanged respectively. A spider web diagram was used to express the change. The results depicted that Chepang, Gurung, and Magar are the predominant indigenous peoples who benefited from the LHF. The result showed the constructive impact of the leasehold forestry program on each asset. The social, physical, human, natural and financial capital received an average total score of 0.778, 0.951, 0.748, 0.589, and 0.722 respectively. The most notable accomplishments were construction and access to the physical capitals including the effectiveness of constructions and advancement of knowledge about community development. Better-managed natural resources can help achieve both conservation and livelihood options.

The field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Bheemarayanagudi, during Kharif 2021- 22 to know the influence of plant growth retardants on morpho-physiological and yield parameters in pigeonpea. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design and replicated three times with eight treatments including control, nipping at 60 DAS, mepiquat chloride @ 1000 ppm, thiourea @ 1000 ppm, chlormequat chloride @ 1000 ppm, daminozide @ 1250 ppm, ancymidol @ 1000 ppm and paclobutrazol @ 150 ppm were applied through foliar application at 60 DAS. Results revealed that nipping and all growth retardant treatments significantly reduced the plant height (cm) and increased total number of branches, total dry matter production, total leaf area, leaf area index and seed yield compared to control. Among the treatments, foliar application of mepiquat chloride @ 1000 ppm was recorded significantly lower plant height (153.72 cm) and higher total number of branches (37.85 plant-1), total dry matter production (149.12 g plant-1), total leaf area (85.83 dm2 plant-1), leaf area index (2.384) and seed yield (1970 kg ha-1) as compared to all other treatments. The treatment T5 (chlormequat chloride @ 1000 ppm) was recorded second best morpho-physiological parameters and yield in pigeonpea. The results concluded that foliar application of mepiquat chloride @ 1000 ppm at 60 DAS was found best in recording better growth parameters and higher yield in pigeonpea.

Fresh onion seeds dried to 7.0% seed moisture content were stored with crude plant materials (red chili powder@20g/kg of seed; neem leaf powder@ 20g/kg of seed, lemon leaf powder @ 20g/kg seed), and chemicals (common bleaching powder and mancozeb @ 2g/kg of seed). The germination potential of onion seeds was found satisfactory in treated seeds. Water uptake during imbibition was maximum in lemon leaf treated seed which indicates better germination as the imbibition of water is an essential part of germination. A high correlation between EC measurements and germination was found; which indicates that conductivity readings have the potential to provide a rapid assessment of standard laboratory germination. In terms of seed-associated pathogens during storage, chemicals have shown better results in suppressing pathogens.

Antropología del diseño y etnografía en el contexto de los escenarios virtuales para la creación de diseño
Authors: Zetina Rodríguez Maria del Carmen
Published: August 2023

Al norte de la ciudad de San Luis Potosí, México, se localiza la iglesia del Saucito; un templo que alberga la imagen del Señor de Burgos o del Saucito, para cuya imagen los fieles creyentes han realizado cientos de exvotos por los milagros que han recibido. Esas obras votivas se colocaron en la sacristía del templo, pero paulatinamente el espacio fue insuficiente; por ello el presbítero, un grupo de feligreses y un comité científico se unieron para promover la creación de un museo para ubicar las piezas. En 2019 un miembro del comité científico del Museo de los Exvotos solicitó el apoyo de la materia de antropología para el diseño, para desarrollar un logotipo para ese recinto, la cual fue aceptada. Sin embargo, se presentaron dos dificultades, por un lado, la distancia entre los diseñadores y el usuario, por el otro el desconocimiento del tema, los ritos, costumbres y tradiciones asociados a la creación de exvotos, que dieron como resultado la fundación del museo. En este contexto la antropología para el diseño permitió reflexionar sobre la manera en que se había trabajado en casos similares, así como las estrategias etnográficas que se podían utilizar para sortear la distancia y las diferencias culturales.

The greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella L.) is a common insect used as alternative host for mass rearing and research of natural enemies. Finding appropriate artificial diets can aid in increasing the efficiency of mass rearing. The study evaluated three different artificial diets by determining some biological and morphological characteristics of greater wax moths in laboratory of Plant Protection Department, Agronomy Faculty, Nong Lam University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The experimental results showed that the artificial diet CT2 was the most effective one of the three treatments. Its larval stage was shortest, with an average of 27.6 ± 4.2 days. The greater wax moth larvae reared on CT2 grew fast and had large size. Over a period of 20 - 30 days of age, the length and width of greater wax moth larvae ranged from 11.9 ± 5.2 to 16.3 ± 6.2 mm and 2.7 ± 1.4 to 3.9 ± 1.8 mm, respectively. The female greater wax moths laid 819.0 ± 175.5 to 1,008.1 ± 354.6 eggs on average. When greater wax moths were reared on three different artificial diets, there was no difference in fecundity

The experiment was conducted from August 2020 to March 2022 at the Veterinary Hospital of Nong Lam University, Ho Chi Minh City. The aim of this study was to isolate and analyze Tembusu virus gene (flavivirus) using 9 to 11 day-old embryonic duck eggs. Treated specimens were inoculated into embryonic duck eggs by allantoic route, then eggs were observed every day for 7 days. The allantoic fluids of the survival eggs were inoculated up to 3 times. Subsequently, the allantoic fluids were checked by real-time RT-PCR to detect Tembusu virus. A positive sample was then titrated, and finally a partial genome was sequenced as well as a phylogenetic tree was constructed. As a result, a strain of Tembusu virus was isolated, and genetic analysis of partial E gene showed that this virus strain was highly similar (from 96,8% to 98,15%) to others in China and Thailand.

Authors: Kuru Safinaz , Çelik Yakup
Published: August 2023

Adalet Ağaoğlu’nun Fikrimin İnce Gülü edebiyatımızda ‘’ilk yol romanı ‘’olarak kabul edilir. Romanda Almanya’dan Türkiye’ye tatile gelen bir işçinin tek başına yaptığı yolculuk merkeze alınarak 1970’li yılların panoraması sunulmaktadır. Güney Dalı’ ın E-5 romanı da aynı konuyu yine Almanya-Türkiye arasında geçen yolculuk üzerinden ele alması bakımından benzerdir. Her iki romanda da yolculuk, göç, Almanya’ya gönderilen Türk işçilerinin ve ailelerinin durumu, kişisel ve toplumsal duyarlılıklar ele alınmıştır. Yazarların konuyu ele alışı, kullandıkları anlatım teknikleri, roman kişileri ve mekânların özellikleri birbirinden farklıdır. Fikrimin İnce Gülü’nde Mercedes marka arabası ile aynileşen roman başkişisi Bayram insani değerlerini yitirmiş bir anti-kahraman örneği iken E-5 romanında babasının ölüsünü koliye koyarak yurda getiren Salim, dışlanma ve bilgisizliğin kurbanı olan bir işçidir. Makalede her iki roman benzer ve farklı yönleri ile ele alınıp karşılaştırılacaktır.
An Intrusion Anomaly Detection Approach to Mitigate Sensor Attacks on Mechatronics Systems

Published: August 2023

Mechatronic systems (MES) have been widely studied and integrated into current smart engineering systems like robots, and control systems among others due to advance in technology. These systems are widely intruded on during operation through sensor attacks and their associated drawbacks. A robust technique for identifying and preventing sensor attacks in systems such as drones must be implemented in smart transportation networks. This paper proposes a novel intrusion anomaly detection approach (IADA) for MES sensors using recurrent neural networks. F1-score and One class classification (CM) anomaly detection was used to carry out performance assessment on several countermodels and classifiers. The results demonstrated that the proposed detection achieved 96% of F1-score, 99% of sensitivity, and 92% of precision in comparison to other counterparts across several drone platforms. The future research direction of the proposed model is also depicted.
