Published: May 2024

A video enhancement method based on applying gamma correction is proposed. Its realization implies processing all video frames using a single algorithm. The proposed algorithm, due to the preservation of inter-frame coherence throughout the entire video, significantly reduces the time spent searching for the optimal value of the gamma parameter, which ensures the highest quality of the frame reaching the maximum possible level in the automatic mode in the sense of both visual observation and the determination of key points and the selection of contours of objects in images. The method is characterized by high adaptability to sudden changes in the lighting of the scene, preservation of interframe coherence, and the absence of any side negative artifacts in the enhanced video. A toolkit for automatically determining the optimal value of the gamma parameter for video frames is developed. It significantly increases the efficiency of video analytics systems, image and video segmentation and processing processes due to reducing the negative impact of the scene lighting mode on image quality. Keywords: gamma-correction, video analytics system, video sequence enhancement, histogram, cumulative histogram, video processing, interframe coherence.

A complete study of the stability of static equilibrium in the system was carried out using the explicitly obtained function of the potential energy of the magnetic system, which consists of a superconducting ring and a magnetic dipole in a uniform gravitational field. The conditions for equilibrium were analytically found, and the stability domain was constructed. It is shown that when the found conditions are met, a static magnetic levitation in the form of a suspension takes place around the axis of the ring. The performed calculations demonstrate the stability of equilibrium in the form of a suspension based on the magnetic levitation mechanism proposed by V. Kozoriz. Keywords: mathematical model, magnetic levitation, magnetic potential energy, stability of equilibrium, superconducting suspension, permanent magnet.

The article proposes and investigates a new algorithm for solving variational inequalities in Hilbert spaces. The proposed iterative algorithm is regularized by the operator extrapolation method using the Halpern scheme. In terms of the amount of computation required for the iterative step, the algorithm has an advantage over the Korpelevich extragradient method and the method of extrapolation from the past. For variational inequalities with monotone, Lipschitz continuous operators acting in Hilbert space, a theorem on the strong convergence of the method is proved. Keywords: variational inequality, saddle point problem, monotone operator, operator extrapolation method, Halpern method, regularization, strong convergence.

Critical analysis of open adoption
Authors: Calzadilla Medina Maria Aranzazu
Published: May 2024

At times, the adoption of children over the age of twelve in Spain hasn´t succeeded because they didn´t give their consent upon learning that they would no longer have a relationship with someone from their biological family. Since 2015, the Spanish Civil Code allows, whenever it´s in the interest of the person to be adopted, for an adoption to be established by setting up a visitation and communication regime in favor of members of the biological family. In this study, employing the methodology inherent to the Science of Law, a novel analysis of this form of adoption is conducted, outlining its pros and cons, with emphasis on the legal prioritization of beneficial emotional relationships, ensuring acknowledgment of origins. Furthermore, it enables the deinstitutionalization of those who can no longer return to their biological family and are under the guardianship of the Public Administration.
Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Trunk (Bland-White-Garland Syndrome): A Rare Congenital Heart Defect in a 7-Year-Old Child
Authors: Kovalenko D. G. , Korochkina E. S. , Khasanova K. A.
Published: May 2024

Objective: To demonstrate the capabilities of modern imaging modalities in diagnosis of Bland-White-Garland (BWG) syndrome (anomalous origin of the left coronary artery [AOLCA] from the pulmonary trunk) and surgical planning in a 7-year-old child.

Materials and methods: We report a case of 7-year-old patient S. with a newly diagnosed complex congenital heart defect: AOLCA from the pulmonary trunk. To establish a diagnosis and assess the spatial anatomy of great vessels and the coronary bed, the patient underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA), and conventional coronary angiography. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with delayed contrast enhancement was used to assess the morphological and functional parameters of the heart and fibrotic changes in the myocardium of the left ventricle (LV).

Results: During TTE, a congenital heart defect was suspected: a coronary artery anomaly with LV systolic dysfunction and coronaryright ventricular fistulas. Preoperative CCTA detected AOLCA from the pulmonary trunk or BWG syndrome, whereas coronary-right ventricular fistulas were not confirmed. Based on the cardiac MRI findings, we diagnosed diffuse LV myocardial fibrosis (increased extracellular volume, 35%-37% in all segments) with areas of delayed intramyocardial accumulation, areas of focal fibrosis without signs of myocardial edema. The CCTA findings were confirmed by conventional coronary angiography and intraoperatively.

Discussion: The technical capabilities of modern minimally invasive cardiac imaging modalities make it possible to determine all existing surgical risks at the preoperative stage and further prognosis in patients undergoing reimplantation for coronary artery anomalies.

Conclusions: The algorithm for management of patients with suspected BWG syndrome should be determined based on the capabilities and safety of each cardiac imaging modality. Detailed and accurate assessment of coronary anatomy is a key criterion for choosing a diagnostic tool at the preoperative stage in patients undergoing reimplantation of coronary arteries. Preoperative cardiac MRI with assessment of severity of fibrotic changes in the myocardium should be used to plan management of patients with BWG syndrome and further control dynamics of morphological and functional parameters of the heart after reimplantation of coronary arteries.

Представлены первые результаты анализа инструментальных и макросейсмических данных сильного землетрясения 22 января 2024 г. в области Гиссаро-Кокшаальского разлома Тянь-Шаня. Полученные решения механизмов очагов основного толчка и сильнейших афтершоков показали преобладание механизмов взбросо-надвигового типа, установлено простирание нодальных плоскостей вдоль разлома, что согласуется с северо-восточной ориентацией облака афтершоков и, в целом, с геодинамической обстановкой зоны сочленения Тянь-Шаня и Таримской впадины. Динамика разрыва в очаге была сложной, предположительно выявлено несколько субочагов разной энергии. Это отразилось на расхождении параметров гипоцентров, особенно глубины, по различным сейсмологическим центрам. Построена зависимость интенсивности в баллах от расстояния для этого землетрясения. Анализ записей приборов сильных движений по данным станций Центральной Азии показал, что наибольшие амплитуды ускорений PGA, равные 30–43 см/с2, соответствуют интенсивности 6 баллов и зафиксированы от 88 до 182 км от эпицентра.

Authors: Yang XuanYang , Shen Jin , Cropley David H , Zheng Yonghe
Published: May 2024

The question of why creativity lacks effective integration in education deserves further exploration, especially regarding its various forms and contexts. This systematic review analyzes the literature on factors influencing K-12 creative teaching until 2022, focusing on two facets: (a) diverse forms (for, with, integrated), and (b) the ecological system (individual, micro, meso, exo, macro) of creative teaching. Key findings reveal: (1) a predominant emphasis on the for form; (2) factors emphasize the individual system, such as teachers’ beliefs and attitudes; (3) environmental factors shift from positive to negative across micro to macro systems. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
Motivation towards Conserving a Rich Forest Biodiversity
Authors: Nyanje Michael Chidzao , Mwaguni Saeed , Chidongo Tsawe-Munga
Published: May 2024

This research study interrogated the benefits that accrued to the Kaya Forest-neighbouring communities as the key motivator in the sustainable conservation of forests. While forests are threatened by deforestation and degradation worldwide due to the overemphasis of their direct economic benefits, socio-cultural considerations have in some cases, protected this rich ecosystem. A case study carried out in Kaya Forests of the Kwale County, Kenya has shown that intangible benefits, not considered in the direct harvest of forests, could be used to reverse the trend in the loss of forests. Data collected questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions and observations has shown this to be the case. The findings of the study were such that sacred forests offered more benefits than the other forms of forests, and that there was equity in the sharing of these benefits among community members in this category. The study however, revealed that for sustainable conservation efforts, it was prudent to consider both the economic and social benefits of this resource as a whole. Consequently, the study is recommending the need to identify and repackage such benefits and to sensitize the community on the benefits that accrue from such arrangement.
DETERMINING THE MUJTAHID MADHHAB: THE CONTRIBUTION OF ABDUL WAHHAB AL-MALIKI'S THOUGHTS ON ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE
Authors: Graiguer Abdelmounaim  , A. Amir Firmansyah
Published: May 2024

This research attempts to improve the procedures (conditions) for forming a mujtahid in Islamic Jurisprudence, who is worthy of being called a mujtahid in deciding issues, Commands, Prohibitions, and the permissibility of Allah. The point of forming a mujtahid is often discussed by fundamentalists and people who have difficulty "becoming a mujtahid" in our time, they claim that the ushuliyyun have made conditions that are impossible for Sharia scholars to achieve today, and they also claim that they do not need to what is required by the ushuliyyun. There are differences of opinion between the two disputing camps; to get out of the theoretical framework towards actual reality, it is necessary to create a model to become a judge, apart from the mujtahid absolute who lays the foundation (Terms - Conditions) in Istinbath because they have agreed to deny it. This research discusses the mujtahid madhhab explicitly because, in each madhhab, many scholars have reached the degree of mujtahid madhhab. The Maliki school is filled with that and other schools of thought. However, without denying other schools of view, this research will be specific to one of the scholars' Maliki, Qadhi Abd al-Wahhab al-Baghdady. Thus, it becomes clear where the origins of the formation of a mujtahid are. However, some conditions must be met, and those who want to reach the degree of the mujtahid, but cannot fulfill the lightest requirements to become a mujtahid, namely the quality - the nature of the mujtahid madhhab, then in fact, it is a destroyer of the basis of ijtihad in Shari'a.
WIFE’S MENTAL DISORDERS AS A REASON FOR POLYGAMY: A STUDY OF ISLAMIC LAW ON CASE DECISIONS AT THE MAGELANG RELIGIOUS COURT
Authors: Rochi Shanti Maharanti , Mubarok M. Ali
Published: May 2024

This study discusses the considerations of the judges of the Magelang Religious Court in granting permission for polygamy. In this case, the applicant applied for permission to practice polygamy because his first wife had a mental disorder. This study aims to determine judges' Islamic legal considerations in making decisions. This type of research is library research, using an analytical descriptive approach. The panel of judges, in their decision, apart from being based on the juridical aspect, also referred to the rule of fiqh: "If there are two evils threatening each other, then watch out for the one with the greater evil by carrying out the one with the least evil," then granted the petitioner's request because it was judged that the evil was much smaller than rejecting it. The petitioner's ability to act reasonably towards their wives and children is also considered to have met the requirements for polygamy as emphasized in the Qur’an (surah al-Nisa [4]: 3), so that the granting of permission for polygamy by the panel of judges is following Islamic Law and not against Indonesian Law.
FOR GOLD AND THE BLESSING OF GOD: THE RATIONAL CHOICE FOR USING THE RABU WEKASAN AMULET IN THE EAST JAVANESE MUSLIM COMMUNITY
Authors: Devi Suci Windariyah  , Maskud
Published: May 2024

Several scholars have different opinions regarding the law of the Rabu Wekasan amulet that lives in the Javanese Muslim community. However, despite these differences, the East Javanese Muslim community still carries out and uses amulets to carry out these rituals. This research aims to determine amulet users' perspectives on life, mindset, and worldviews, especially in the Sempen, Sumbertengah, Mumbulsari, and Jember communities. Researchers use a rational choice theory where a person's actions are primarily determined by values or choices using data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, and documentation. The research results reveal three typologies of amulet users' mindsets: 1) Tabarrukan, using the Rabu Wekasan Amulet as a wasilah (intermediary) to ask for protection from Allah; 2) Economic aspect, using Rabu Wekasan amulets to protect their economic level from losses; and 3) Social aspect: using Rabu Wekasan amulets to maintain peace and public health.
ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE ON THE ENTERPRISE’S FINANCIAL STATE
Authors: Gordeeva Tetyana
Published: May 2024

Indebtedness is an economic phenomenon, the appearance of which is due to objective reasons during the financial and economic activity of the enterprise and its relations with counterparties. The state of accounts payable is important for enterprises of all industries and forms of ownership. On the one hand, indebtedness stimulates the growth of business activity, as it allows buyers to obtain resources with deferred payment, and sellers - to accelerate sales. On the other hand, indebtedness causes a temporary withdrawal of assets, and this can worsen his financial condition. Therefore, payables have an ambiguous influence on the company's activities, so the analysis of their influence on the enterprise’s financial state is of high relevance.
THE ROLE OF INVESTMENT LAG IN ECONOMIC SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT TRAJECTORY
Authors: Poznyak Sergii , Kolyada Yurii
Published: May 2024

Introduction. The investment process, which determines the economic growth of society, is becoming increasingly important and relevant. Investments determine not only financial turnover and business development, but are a key factor in shaping the overall image of the country's economic landscape. In this sense, it is crucial to consider not only the quantity and volume of investments, but also their quality, directions and ways of influencing the production potential of the economy. A key concept of the investment process is the investment lag, i.e. the period of time between the emergence of savings and their use as investment. Taking into account the duration of the lag on the basis of dynamic mathematical models will certainly improve the quality of forecasting and help to standardise approaches to computer modelling of economic development more appropriately.

АВТОНОМНА ДИСФУНКЦІЯ ВНАСЛІДОК ЛЕГКОЇ ЧЕРЕПНО-МОЗКОВОЇ ТРАВМИ ТА ЇЇ ОЦІНКА ЗА ВАРІАБЕЛЬНІСТЮ СЕРЦЕВОГО РИТМУ
Authors: Боцьва Тетяна
Published: May 2024

Особливістю сучасної війни є значна поширеність вибухових черепно-мозкових травм (ЧМТ). Приблизно 80–85% тих, хто переніс легку черепно-мозкову травму (лЧМТ), повністю одужують протягом одного місяця, у решти спостерігаються стійкі симптоми, які можуть тривати кілька тижнів, років або не зникнути протягом життя. Незважаючи на зростання обізнаності про соціально-економічний тягар та віддалені наслідки лЧМТ, клінічне лікування цих травм залишається недостатньо ефективним. У роботі за наявними літературними джерелами окреслено сучасне розуміння особливостей і патомеханізмів лЧМТ, а також зв’язку стійких симптомів та коморбідних станів з дисфункцією автономної нервової системи. Наведено опис патомеханізмів виникнення автономної дисфункції як віддаленого наслідку лЧМТ та докази зв’язку аномальних значень варіабельності серцевого ритму з лЧМТ в анамнезі. Наведено аргументи на користь впровадження аналізу варіабельності серцевого ритму як інструменту оцінки стану пацієнтів зі стійкими наслідками лЧМТ.
Performance Analysis of Deep Learning and Machine Learning Methods for Music Genre Classification System
Authors: Vigneshwar J , R Thirumahal
Published: May 2024

Classification plays a crucial role in numerous applications within the music industry, spanning from content management to personalized playlists and music recommendation systems. While previous research has explored various machine learning frameworks for this purpose, such as support vector machines (SVM), a comprehensive comparison analysis of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) remains unknown. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing and contrasting the performance of SVM, KNN, and CNN in music genre classification. Each algorithm was carefully trained using different music genres from a protected dataset, employing feature extraction methods to capture the appropriate qualities of audio signals. The models underwent extensive training with a limited number of samples, and their performance was evaluated using industry standards such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores. Experimental results included SVM, KNN, and CNN for music genre designation. This study contributes significantly to existing literature by providing a comparative analysis of these algorithms. The findings highlight the strengths and limitations of each approach, offering guidance for researchers and practitioners in choosing the most suitable approach for their specific needs. The insights gained from this research have the potential to enhance music genre classification systems, ultimately improving the user experience across various music-related contexts.

Observable flow experience in Japanese children’s interactions with musical instrument digital interface instruments, violins, and bells
Authors: Akutsu Taichi , Ashida Maki , Hisano Ryutaro , Ashida Chie , Des Marias Eric , Sutani Shizuka
Published: May 2024

Despite the existing research on flow in music education, there remains a lack of researches in understanding children’s flow experiences in the context of playing musical instrument, electronic technological instruments, and other traditional instruments. This study investigates the observable flow experience among young children during their interactions with musical instrument digital interface instruments, violins, and bell-like instruments. The research employed a case study approach, with 20 children aged two to nine (11 females and nine males) participating in the study. In the study, we, as practitioner-researchers, offered workshops for children to experience a variety of traditional and non-traditional musical instruments. Throughout the study, researchers collected 89 video clips for analysis, using four cameras operated by four assistants who were trained to capture children’s flow in a musical context. These monthly sessions, each lasting an average of 60 min, began with the first session dedicated to capturing the very first encounter of children with various musical devices, instruments, and materials. Custodero’s Flow Indicators in Musical Activities captured children’s flow experiences during workshops. The findings included interpretations of the children’s flow experiences as they explored different devices, instruments, and materials, with a particular emphasis on accessibility and developmental considerations within the social context of children’s musical flow.
Patent foramen ovale closure in a patient with extensive lipomatous hypertrophy of the septum secundum: A case report
Authors: Terekhin Sergey , Shchekochikhin Dimtry , G. Osiev Alexandr , Maria Onorato Eustaquio
Published: May 2024

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the septum secundum (LHSS) is a benign disorder characterized by the accumulation of fat in the interatrial septum, presenting with an hourglass appearance that spares the fossa ovalis on echocardiography. Typically asymptomatic, LHSS is often incidentally detected through two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography/transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. It primarily affects elderly and obese individuals, with a higher prevalence among females, and may cause atrial arrhythmias, syncope, and heart failure. Transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) associated with LHSS has traditionally posed challenges due to the lack of specifically designed devices and the risk of suboptimal results. Our case report details the off-label implantation of a flexible atrial septal defect closure device for a PFO closure in an elderly patient presenting with an embolic stroke of undetermined source, severe kyphosis, platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome, and a large LHSS. In addition, strategies adopted to enhance the success of percutaneous closure are discussed.
Intrinsic cardiac neurons as the consulate general of the brain in the heart: A review
Authors: Fatima Aftab Meha
Published: May 2024

Contrary to the prevailing understanding about one-way communication from brain to heart, recent research has unveiled a two-way communication pathway between these two organs, featuring the delivery of signals from the cardiac afferents to the brain. While the medulla oblongata is known to send autonomic signals for cardiac function regulation, 80% of the vagal afferents send signals to the brain for cardiac regulation. The vagus nerve receives these signals from the intrinsic cardiac neurons, often referred to as “the little brain of the heart.” Intrinsic cardiac neurons are neuronal structures with the same biochemical profile as neurons, communicating with the vagus nerve through acetylcholine and expresses markers of neuronal function such as tyrosine hydroxylase and others. Intrinsic cardiac neurons also influence the autonomic system, which can be studied through heart-rate variability measures. Heart rate variability (HRV) is altered in many types of cardiac disorders and is a well-known measure for studying short- and long-term disease-related variations in cardiac function. Some psychiatric disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression also exhibited alterations in HRV. HRV is related to heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs) and electrical potentials in the brain that are influenced by the heart. HEPs are altered in disease states and can be impacted by environmental factors. This paper reviews the existing literature concerning intrinsic cardiac neurons and their possible role in heart-brain communication.

Authors: Chang Tse-Shao , Chen Jing , S. Kwon Richard , Jiang Yang , J. Seibel Eric , Turgeon D. Kim , D. Wang Thomas
Published: May 2024

Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a precursor condition for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). This case report describes the in vivo use of a fluorescently-labeled peptide heterodimer specific for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) to identify residual neoplasia in a 52-year-old female patient with BE. This targeted contrast agent was topically administered after an incomplete endoscopic mucosal resection of high-grade dysplasia with carcinoma in situ. A flexible fiber-coupled multi-modal scanning fiber endoscope was used to capture near-infrared fluorescence images. This instrument was passed through the working channel of a standard upper endoscope for use as an accessory. Increased fluorescence intensity was observed from nodular mucosa as a real-time “red flag” to identify the presence of neoplasia. Pathologic tests were conducted on the resected tissues, confirming the presence of stage T1a EAC. The expression EGFR and HER2 was confirmed by immunohistochemistry ex vivo. These findings support integrated imaging as a potential strategy to detect Barrett’s neoplasia.

Authors: Al-Kreimeen Raed Ahmed
Published: May 2024

The present study endeavored to ascertain the effect of employing the Jigsaw II instructional strategy on the augmentation of thinking skills and proficiencies related to cognitive evaluation amongst female undergraduates majoring in Child Education at Al-Balqa Applied University. Implementing a quasi-experimental design, the research engaged a sample of 65 students, all enrolled in the "Play and Child Education" course for the summer term of the 2022-2023 academic year. These participants were arbitrarily allocated into two distinct groups: a control group (n=32), receiving instruction through traditional pedagogical methods, and an experimental group (n=33), experiencing the application of the Jigsaw II strategy. A set of assessments designed to measure thinking skills and cognitive evaluation competencies were administered both prior to and following the intervention for each group. The empirical results gleaned from this study unveil statistically significant disparities at a 0.05 significance level on the cumulative scale in favor of the experimental group. Such findings underscore the efficacy of the Jigsaw II strategy in fostering the development of thinking capabilities and cognitive evaluation competencies amongst female students enrolled in the Child Education specialization at Al-Balqa Applied University, in the context of the "Play and Child Education" course.

Published: May 2024

Citrus fruits like Sweet Orange, Malta, and Lemon are extensively cultivated in India. This research aims to analyze the vitamin C, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of these fruits. Aqueous extracts from the peel, pulp, and juice of these fruits, along with samples stored at 4°C, were prepared for analysis. The DPPH method was employed for antioxidant assessment, antibacterial properties were evaluated using the Agar well diffusion method, and vitamin C content in juices was estimated pH-metrically.
The results from the DPPH method indicated that storage at lower temperatures reduced antioxidant properties. All fruit juices exhibited higher antioxidant activity compared to their peel and pulp counterparts. Orange juice demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity, followed by Malta peel. Lemon juice was found to have the highest vitamin C content.
None of the extracts exhibited antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas, Streptococcus pyogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus cereus. The study suggests that orange juice is the most potent natural antioxidant among the selected citrus fruits. A mixture of all fruit juices exhibited synergistic effects, while combinations of any two juices showed antagonistic effects.

Twisted electromagnetic sinc Schell-model beam and its transmission in a turbulent atmosphere
Authors: Changyou Zhang  , Wenyu Fu
Published: May 2024

We present the twisted electromagnetic sinc-correlation Schell-model (EM TSSM) beam as an extension of the cylindrical sinc Schell-model beam and analyze the necessary source parameter conditions to generate a physically viable beam. Furthermore, we thoroughly investigate the propagation properties of the EM TSSM beam in atmospheric turbulence using the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral, explicitly focusing on spectral intensity, degree of polarization (DOP), and degree of coherence (DOC). It shows that the twisted phase has a noticeable impact on the intensity profiles of these beams, causing them to exhibit rotation and self-splitting while still maintaining their shape in free space. Moreover, during propagation through a turbulent atmosphere, it exhibits self-combining properties over a long range and recovers the plat-topped distribution. Compared with the sinc Schell-model beam without the twisted phase, the DOP distribution of such a beam can rotate around its distribution center. As these beams propagate through turbulent atmospheres, they can self-heal their DOP distribution within specific ranges affected by atmospheric turbulence. A twist factor causes non-unidirectional rotation of the DOC distribution in free space. The DOC gradually transforms from multi-strip profiles into a Gaussian-like distribution. Furthermore, the beam parameters play a crucial role in shaping the DOC. The results will be useful in optical trapping and optical communication.

Authors: Yadav Mukti , Kaler R.S.
Published: May 2024

The paper proposes a design of a localized surface plasmon resonance-based refractive index sensor for the detection of a chemical compound availing unclad geometry of the optical fiber. The geometry is explored to analyze the sensing behavior and coupling phenomenon at the metal-dielectric interface. The finite element method (FEM) is applied numerically to evaluate the analytical change in the reflectance spectra of the fiber model by inoculating potassium nitrate compound. The resonance shift and reflectance of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signal obtained after the optimization of structural parameters enhance the sensing performance of the prototype. The sensor exhibits a maximum sensitivity of 80.2919 rad/RIU for a 1.56 high refractive index analyte and minimum sensitivity of 2.3446 rad/RIU for a 1.33 low refractive index analyte. The proposed sensor is modelled in such a way that it can be employed in various sensing applications for a wide range of refractive indices.
