Deep Learning Video Prediction Based on Enhanced Skip Connection
Authors: T. Al Mokhtar Zahraa , A. Dawwd Shefa
Published: February 2024

Video prediction theories have quickly progressed especially after a great revolution of deep learning methods. The prediction architectures based on pixel generation produced a blurry forecast, but it is preferred in many applications because this model is applied on frames only and does not need other support information like segmentation or flow mapping information making getting a suitable dataset very difficult. In this approach, we presented a novel end-to-end video forecasting framework to predict the dynamic relationship between pixels in time and space. The 3D CNN encoder is used for estimating the dynamic motion, while the decoder part is used to reconstruct the next frame based on adding 3DCNN CONVLSTM2D in skip connection. This novel representation of skip connection plays an important role in reducing the blur predicted and preserved the spatial and dynamic information. This leads to an increase in the accuracy of the whole model. The KITTI and Cityscapes are used in training and Caltech is applied in inference. The proposed framework has achieved a better quality in PSNR=33.14, MES=0.00101, SSIM=0.924, and a small number of parameters (2.3 M).
Tantangan Implementasi Net Zero Emission di Banten: Studi Kasus Pembangunan Geothermal Padarincang
Authors: Jatnika Jajat , Amal Mohamad Ilyasul
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe Net Zero Emissions (NZE) program became a popular term after the Paris Climate Agreement was held in 2015. The program aims to reduce environmental pollution that has the potential to cause global warming. Energy is one of the sectors focused on achieving the NZ E program. Various countries have issued new regulations related to the supply of electrical energy that are adjusted to the NZE program. The regulation emphasizes replacing the operation of conventional power plants that use coal such as Steam Power Plants. The plant will later be removed and replaced with a New Renewable Energy (EBT) based power plant. However, various challenges and impacts will arise due to the shift from the use of fossil energy to EBT energy. This study aims to determine the challenges in carrying out the energy transition to achieve the NZE program. The narrative literature review method is used to analyze information and literature. The development of EBT generators is logically a priority step for Indonesia. This development is like increasing the co-firing composition by increasing the number of Geothermal Power Plants (PLTP) in Padarincang, Banten Province. The abundant availability of EBT in Indonesia is an opportunity that can be utilized optimally to achieve the NZE program.Keywords: International Environmental Institute, Environmental Issues, Global AbstrakSetelah Perjanjian Paris Climate Agreement pada tahun 2015, inisiatif Net Zero Emissions (NZE) semakin populer. Tujuannya untuk mengurangi pencemaran lingkungan yang dapat menyebabkan pemanasan global. Salah satu sektor kunci yang menjadi sasaran program NZE adalah energi. Banyak negara telah memperkenalkan peraturan baru tentang pasokan listrik untuk menyelaraskan dengan program NZE. Peraturan ini memprioritaskan penggantian pembangkit listrik konvensional berbasis batubara seperti PLTU dengan pembangkit berbasis energi baru terbarukan (EBT). Namun, peralihan dari energi fosil ke energi EBT akan menimbulkan berbagai tantangan dan dampak. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tantangan yang terlibat dalam transisi ke energi EBT untuk mencapai program NZE. Pendekatan literature review naratif digunakan untuk menganalisis informasi dan literatur. Pengembangan pembangkit EBT merupakan langkah krusial bagii Indonesia. Salah satu cara untuk mencapainya adalah dengan menambah jumlah Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Panas Bumi (PLTP) di Padarincang, Provinsi Banten. Sumber daya EBT Indonesia yang melimpah memberikan peluang untuk mencapai program NZE secara efisien.Kata Kunci: Net Zero Emission, Krisis Iklim, Pemanasan Global.

Published: February 2024

In the present study, the response of primary attributes (seedling growth, percent emergence, seedling fresh and dry biomass, and seedling moisture contents) and nutrient contents (Calcium, Magneisum, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper) of Brassica napus L. was evaluated as a function of glucose-induced priming and salinity. The priming comprised 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes of seeds soaking in glucose solution (0.50 M) and salinity stress was simulated by the solutions of 0, 15, 18, 21, and 24 milli Molar (mM) NaCl. The results revealed that doses of salinity induced significant changes in the fresh weight of Brassica napus L. The response of selected nutrients (except Magnesium) as a function of salinity was also highly significant (P≤0.05 %). The salinity doses reduced plants' mineral contents (except Mn) compared to control. The priming of seeds for 90 minutes significantly (P≤0.05 %) enhanced certain early growth traits (plumule growth, radical growth, fresh weight and dry weight) of Brassica napus. On the other hand, for improving germination (%) and moisture contents (%) of Brassica napus, soaking durations of 30 minutes and 60 minutes are more suitable. The pre-soaking of seeds for 60 minutes increased the Calcium, Magnesium and Manganese contents (mg/litre) of Brassica napus. The Iron and Zinc contents (mg/litre) showed hype in seedlings raised from seeds primed for 30 minutes. The priming of seeds for 90 minutes was found to be stimulatory for Copper (mg/litre) only. The influence of factors interaction (treatments × priming durations) on the initial growth attributes and the studied minerals of Brassica napus L. was highly significant (P≤0.05 %). From the gathered evidence, the present study concludes glucose as a potent priming agent that can boost oil-yielding plants' performance under saline conditions.
Balanced Turbulence and the Helicity Barrier in Black Hole Accretion
Authors: Wong George N. , Arzamasskiy Lev
Published: February 2024

Horizon-scale observations from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) have enabled precision study of supermassive black hole accretion. Contemporary accretion modeling often treats the inflowing plasma as a single, thermal fluid, but microphysical kinetic effects can lead to significant deviations from this idealized picture. We investigate how the helicity barrier influences EHT-accessible electromagnetic observables by employing a simple model for electron heating based on kinetic physics and the cascade of energy and helicity in unbalanced turbulence. Although the helicity barrier plays only a minor role in regions with high plasma β, like in standard and normal evolution (SANE) disks, it may substantially impact regions with more ordered magnetic fields, such as the jet and its surrounding wind in SANE flows as well as throughout the entire domain in magnetically arrested disk (MAD) flows. In SANE flows, emission shifts from the funnel wall toward the lower-magnetization disk region; in MAD flows the emission morphology remains largely unchanged. Including the helicity barrier leads to characteristically lower electron temperatures, and neglecting it can lead to underestimated accretion rates and inferred jet powers. The corresponding higher plasma densities result in increased depolarization and Faraday depths thereby decreasing the amplitude of the β
2 coefficient while leaving its angle unchanged. Both the increased jet power and lower

β

may help alleviate outstanding tensions between modeling and EHT observations. We also find that the estimated ring diameter may be underestimated when the helicity barrier is neglected. Our results underscore the significance of the helicity barrier in shaping black hole observables and inferred accretion system parameters.

Low-mass galaxy pair fractions are understudied, and it is unclear whether low-mass pair fractions evolve in the same way as more massive systems over cosmic time. In the era of JWST, Roman, and Rubin, selecting galaxy pairs in a self-consistent way will be critical to connect observed pair fractions to cosmological merger rates across all mass scales and redshifts. Utilizing the Illustris TNG100 simulation, we create a sample of physically associated low-mass (108 < M
* < 5 × 109
M
⊙) and high-mass (5 × 109 < M
* < 1011
M
⊙) pairs between z = 0 and 4.2. The low-mass pair fraction increases from z = 0 to 2.5, while the high-mass pair fraction peaks at z = 0 and is constant or slightly decreasing at z > 1. At z = 0 the low-mass major (1:4 mass ratio) pair fraction is 4× lower than high-mass pairs, consistent with findings for cosmological merger rates. We show that separation limits that vary with the mass and redshift of the system, such as scaling by the virial radius of the host halo (r
sep < 1R
vir), are critical for recovering pair fraction differences between low-mass and high-mass systems. Alternatively, static physical separation limits applied equivalently to all galaxy pairs do not recover the differences between low- and high-mass pair fractions, even up to separations of 300 kpc. Finally, we place isolated mass analogs of Local Group galaxy pairs, i.e., Milky Way (MW)–M31, MW–LMC, LMC–SMC, in a cosmological context, showing that isolated analogs of LMC–SMC-mass pairs and low-separation (<50 kpc) MW–LMC-mass pairs are 2–3× more common at z ≳ 2–3.

We present a 368 ks deep Chandra observation of Abell 1240, a binary merging galaxy cluster at a redshift of 0.195 with two brightest cluster galaxies that may have passed each other 0.3 Gyr ago. Building upon previous investigations involving Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, Very Large Array, and LOFAR data, our study focuses on two prominent extended radio relics at the northwest (NW) and southeast (SE) of the cluster core. By leveraging the high-resolution Chandra imaging, we have identified two distinct surface-brightness edges at ∼1 Mpc and 1.2 Mpc NW and SE of the cluster center, respectively, coinciding with the outer edges of both relics. Our temperature measurements suggest the edges to be shock front edges. The Mach numbers, derived from the gas density jumps, yield

Furthermore, we compare the observed temperature profiles across both shocks with those of predictions from collisional versus collisionless models. Both shocks favor the Coulomb collisional model, but we could not rule out a purely collisionless model due to pre-shock temperature uncertainties.
Adherence to disease-modifying therapies among patients with multiple sclerosis in Bulgaria – A real world study
Authors: Seitaridou Yoana , Chamova Teodora , Kamusheva Maria
Published: February 2024

Introduction: The purpose was to assess the level of medication adherence (MA) and related factors among individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) in Bulgaria.

Materials and methods: A prospective one-year study was conducted among 54 patients with MS diagnosed, treated, and monitored in Clinic of Neurology, University Hospital “Alexandrovska”, Sofia in 2022/2023. Clinical data, patients reported outcomes, patients’ characteristics such as age, gender and reduced work capacity, and other data were collected to define the predictors of non-adherence to medicines. MA level was assessed through a free Morisky–Green 4-item questionnaire.

Results: Мost of the observed patients were rated with high and moderate adherence to MS therapy (n = 44; 81.48%). The remaining 18.52% of the patients with poor adherence to therapy were women. There was no statistical basis for asserting differences in adherence levels among the various factors considered.

Conclusion: The current study demonstrates the importance of MA assessment and provides insights into MA among patients with MS in Bulgaria. Still, there are low-adherent patients, and the responsible factors should be further investigated.
A new genus and species of oceanic planktonic Tisbidae (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida) with enlarged modified eyes
Authors: Komeda Sota , Ohtsuka Susumu , Huys Rony
Published: February 2024

Both sexes of a new monotypic genus of Tisbidae (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) are described from the epi- or mesopelagic zone in the Kuroshio region, Japan. Gyorome guttatumgen. et sp. nov. belongs to a monophyletic lineage of deepwater holoplanktonic genera defined by a suite of characters. Within this clade, Gyoromegen. nov. appears most closely related to Neotisbella Boxshall, 1979. The most distinguishable feature of G. guttatumgen. et sp. nov. is the presence of large, paired, frontal modified eyes, each consisting of a baculiform ocellus, a globular (Gicklhorn’s?) organ, and a semi-parabolic plate. The taxonomic position of Tisbe spinulosa Bradford & Wells, 1983 is discussed and a key to the six meso- and bathypelagic tisbid species is provided. Confusion surrounding earlier literature reports of supernumerary elements on the caudal ramus in some harpacticoid taxa is clarified. Secondary modifications of ocellar components of the typical naupliar eye in the Harpacticoida are reviewed. It is suggested that the development of specialized eyes in G. guttatumgen. et sp. nov. may provide a means for detecting bioluminescent food particles in oligotrophic pelagic environments. The large, vaulted prosome indicates the species is an opportunistic macrophage that has adopted gorging as a feeding strategy.

L’inclusion scolaire est une nouvelle politique éducative en France depuis le début du XX e siècle. Elle est régie par des textes institutionnels qui l’explicitent, la promeuvent et l’appuient. Cependant, il a été décelé que ces textes sont inefficaces devant certaines situations spécifiques qui nécessitent un accompagnement personnalisé et un encadrement ciblé d’élèves qui risquent le décrochage scolaire. Durant ma mission de médiatrice en milieu scolaire j’ai pu côtoyer différents acteurs du dispositif ULIS qui m’ont fait part de leurs difficultés quant à la prise en charge des élèves HPI cités dans les textes institutionnels comme profils à inclure dans le dispositif ULIS. À la suite des entretiens cliniques que j’ai effectués avec ces acteurs du dispositif et à l’observation de leurs pratiques éducatives, j’ai pu mener ma recherche pour montrer les défis et les controverses de l’inclusion scolaire des élèves HPI.

Pour que les élèves se sentent acceptés dans leur singularité, la communauté éducative ne doit-elle pas être le reflet de la société inclusive vers laquelle elle tend ? Être face à des enseignants en situation de handicap à un moment de leur scolarité ne permet-il pas aux élèves dits à besoins éducatifs particuliers d’appréhender différemment leurs spécificités ? Penser l’éducation sous l’angle de l’éthique inclusive doit permettre de considérer la diversité comme constitutive de la communauté éducative. Cette étude s’intéresse, pour ce faire, à la perspective éthique dans laquelle s’inscrivent des enseignants autistes ainsi qu’aux répercussions de leurs expériences d’anciens élèves en situation de handicap sur leurs pratiques actuelles d’enseignement. Elle met par ailleurs en lumière les défis qui restent à relever pour que l’institution d’éducation puisse devenir pleinement inclusive.

Une distance qui s’explique par des liens diplomatiques anciens, mais surtout par les intérêts économiques de chacun, en matière énergétique ou alimentaire. Le conflit rend aussi perceptible un relatif retrait des pays occidentaux des enjeux régionaux, retrait qui conduit à un désalignement et à une autonomie croissante des dossiers de la région.

Les auteurs présentent une approche des comportements cognitifs qui fait de la psychologie sociale une discipline intégrative de plusieurs niveaux d’explication. Fondé sur la dimension de la comparaison sociale associée aux différents contextes dont elle détermine la mise en mémoire sous des formes de nature autobiographique, le modèle proposé favorise la compréhension de certains phénomènes contre intuitifs dans le champ des performances cognitives. Au delà, la contribution de base tient au fait que nombre de processus et comportements cognitifs élémentaires peuvent être socialement régulés. Il s’agit, de fait, de promouvoir une psychologie sociale de la cognition plus que d’illustrer une supposée psychologie sociale cognitive.

Le programme de recherches présenté ici montre combien notre sensibilité aux influences sociales, et plus particulièrement à celles qui échappent à notre conscience, est tributaire de notre perception du contexte social. On sait que l’activation non consciente de différents concepts affecte perceptions, jugements et comportements. Mais cet impact est modulé par les personnes qui, en prenant en compte à leur insu différents paramètres des situations dans lesquelles elles sont placées, deviennent plus ou moins influençables, « déterminables ». Plus précisément, les recherches réalisées montrent, dans différentes situations (situation individuelle ou en interaction sociale) et sur différentes variables (estimations, perception de soi, jugements judiciaires…) que les personnes deviennent plus sensibles à différents types d’influence non-consciente, pour peu qu’elles croient qu’autrui est valablement informé sur elles-mêmes.

The South African School Context and Inclusive Education
Authors: Sefotho Maximus Monaheng
Published: February 2024

The South African school system could be perceived as an antithesis for inclusive education. However, if the context is developed to be inclusive, teaching and learning could improve the chances of South African learners to participate in the development of the country. The school context is composed of diversity in South Africa and underpinned by remnants of struggle. This chapter reviews possibilities of improving the school context to enhance teaching and learning for the inclusion of learners. Improvement of equitable resource allocation could remedy the inclusion gap within the South African school contexts. Health and safety in the South African schools is a concern for all addressed in this chapter. The teacher-learner relationship forms a foundation where empathic inclusion and access should be exercised in loco parentis. Inclusion for academic outcomes that address post-school inclusion and access to the world of work is critical within the South African school context.
Inclusive Education
Authors: Makhwathana Rendani Mercy
Published: February 2024

This chapter reflects on the inclusiveness of South African schools' inclusive education practices. Emphasizing the need for greater access for all learners, it acknowledges historical exclusion based on physical, intellectual, cultural, and linguistic differences. In the context of South Africa's apartheid history, the mere inclusion of learners with disabilities in mainstream schools is considered a breakthrough. Inclusive education signifies a shift towards inclusive teaching, demanding a revised mindset to accommodate diverse learners. The chapter urges stakeholders, including the Department of Education, academics, researchers, people with disabilities, and parents, to reflect on and improve inclusive education practices. Drawing from literature, it explores the alignment between policy expectations and the actual implementation of inclusive education in schools, posing questions about its true inclusiveness and highlighting key principles.

Authors: Burlachenko Oleksii , Vigilianska Nataliia , Senderowski Cezary
Published: February 2024

The paper presents a study of the formation process of cermet powders based on TiAl intermetallic with the addition of non-metallic refractory compounds. Non-metallic refractory compounds B4C, BN, SiC, and Si3N4 were chosen as strengthening components, improving the mechanical properties and resistance to high-temperature oxidation of TiAl-type intermetallic coatings. The composition of the initial mixtures was selected based on thermodynamic analysis of the interaction between TiAl intermetallic and non-metallic refractory compounds. As a result of the mechanochemical synthesis of powder mixtures, 73TiAl-27B4C, 69TiAl-31BN, 88TiAl-12SiC, and 83TiAl-17Si3N4 (wt. %) cermet powders are formed, consisting of titanium aluminide (TiAl, Ti3Al) phases and refractory compounds of aluminium (AlB2 and AlN) and titanium (TiB2, TiC, TiN, Ti5Si3). The conglomeration technology of produced cermet powders has been developed to enhance fluidity. Using conglomerated powders will provide their constant feed to the high-temperature jet and the formation of dense coatings during thermal spraying.

Published: February 2024

Various silver vanadate and graphitic carbon nitride (AgVA/g-C3N4) composites with different weightage of 10 wt%, 30 wt% and 50 wt% of AgVA were synthesized using wet chemical method and the prepared samples were named as A10, A30 and A50. Based on SEM analysis, the synthesized pure g-C3N4 exhibited a two-dimensional structure with typical irregular porosity whereas pure AgVA had a rod-like shape. The diffraction peaks of both g-C3N4 and AgVA could be observed in the composites, indicating that AgVA had been successfully coupled with g-C3N4. The stretching vibration of V-O was found in in pure AgVA and all composites. EDX analysis confirmed the presence of C, N, Ag, V and O element in the prepared composites. A10 was found to possess a larger BET specific surface area, smaller particle size and larger pore volume compared to that of pure g-C3N4.

Published: February 2024

Petroleum industry effluents contain hazardous compounds such as heavy metals, which can damage the environment and human health. In this work, petroleum wastewater used as a medium to culture marine algae Scenedesmus sp. with the aim of removing maximum heavy metals. The efficiency of Scenedesmus sp. were examined in laboratory scale for elimination of COD, BOD and total petroleum heavy metals. The marine algae were monitored in pure petroleum wastewater as well as 25%, 50% and 75% diluted wastewater samples which conducted for 15 days. At the condition of 27 ± 2 °C, Scenedesmus sp. removed 35 – 96% of chromium (IV), cadmium (II) and copper (II). Among them chromium (IV) was significantly removed by Scenedesmus sp. Hence, phytoremediation using Scenedesmus sp. is seen as one of the best options to remove heavy metals from petroleum wastewater. Keywords: Microalgae, Scenedesmus sp., heavy metals, wastewater, biomass

Published: February 2024

Preparing for childbirth is crucial because it was a demanding and exhausting experience for unprepared mothers. Confidence in caring for the baby was one of the important indicators of success as a parent. This study aimed to examine the influence of parenting classes on maternal self-efficacy in caring for the baby. The study used a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test nonequivalent control group design method. The research was conducted at several Midwife Clinical Practices in Bogor City. The sample consisted of 42 pregnant women, with 21 in the intervention group and 21 in the control group. Sampling used non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique. The Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy (PMP-SE) questionnaire with a likert scale was used to measure the mother's self-efficacy variable in caring for the baby before and after attending the parenting class. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the mean self-efficacy of mothers in caring for their babies before the intervention was 42.57 (8.577), and after attending the parenting class, it increased to 47.71 (8.344). There was a significant influence of parenting class on mothering self-efficacy in caring for the baby (p=0.015). It is recommended that this model of parenting classes be applied in healthcare settings to educate pregnant women on readiness to become parents, thereby increasing mothers' confidence and ability to take care of their babies after childbirth.

Published: February 2024

Gastroduodenal perforation commonly due to spontaneous perforation of a pre-existing peptic ulcer is a surgical emergency. On laparotomy, approximately 60%–70% perforations are duodenal and 15%–20% gastric. The most prevalent etiology are Helicobacter pylori infection in 65%–70% and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) abuse in 30%–50% cases depending on the prevalence of H. pylori infection. We report here the autopsy findings in a 29-year-old male who collapsed suddenly in the emergency room of our hospital after a bout of massive hematemesis.
Assessment of Ki-67 expression in cases of prostatic carcinoma and its correlation with clinical outcomes
Authors: Siddiqui Sumaira
Published: February 2024

Background:

Treatment decisions after diagnosis of clinically localized prostate cancer are difficult due to variability in tumor behavior. As there is a high prevalence of low-grade prostate cancer with an indolent course, we need improved markers of prostate cancer lethality in order to reduce the overtreatment. In the current study, we assessed Ki-67 expression in cases of prostate carcinoma and correlated its expression with clinical outcomes.

Methods:

It was a single-center retrospective descriptive type of study. A total of 50 cases were included. Diagnosed cases of adenocarcinoma on Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) chips and Trucut prostatic biopsies (Archival biopsy specimens) for whom five years follow-up was available from record files and/or telephonic interviews were included. The clinical outcomes (rate of distant metastases, disease specific survival, and overall survival) over a period of five years were recorded.

Results:

In the current study, 78% of the cases of carcinoma prostate were positive for Ki-67 expression. The mean Ki-67 staining index was 15.22% among the cases. The cases with High Ki-67 Staining index had a significantly higher rate of distant metastasis, poor disease-specific survival, and overall survival compared to cases with low Ki-67 staining index.

Conclusion:

Ki-67 can be used along with the other established prognostic parameters to assess the lethality of prostate cancer.

Published: February 2024

Background:

Adaptive behavior plays a crucial role in daily functioning, involving a complex interplay between individuals and their environment. In India, the Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS) has been the preferred assessment tool for measuring adaptive behaviors, despite its age of over 85 years. However, periodic evaluation is necessary to ensure its continued relevance.

Aim:

This study aims to critically evaluate selected items of the Indian version of the VSMS.

Materials and Methods:

A survey form was developed through a focus group discussion (FGD), comprising 20 items from the Indian adaptation of the VSMS. The form was converted into a Google Form and distributed to medical and rehabilitation specialists across India. The responses were collected, recorded, and analyzed in an Excel sheet.

Results:

Of the 107 responses received, 14 were incomplete and excluded, leaving 93 complete for analysis. The analysis revealed that less than half of the surveyed items and domains received ratings of disagreement from over a quarter of the respondents concerning their frequency, relevance, and diagnostic value.

Conclusion:

This study underscores the need for a dynamic approach to defining and assessing adaptive behavior, especially in the Indian context. It highlights the importance of revising existing scales, incorporating technology-related items, and considering societal and cultural norms shifts. While acknowledging its limitations, this research sets the stage for future investigations to gain a more nuanced understanding of adaptive behaviors amidst changing societal dynamics. Ultimately, these efforts aim to develop more comprehensive and relevant assessment tools for adaptive behavior in today's rapidly evolving world.
