CAN RADAR BACKSCATTER RATIO BE USED TO ESTIMATE NDVI AND ACT AS ITS SUBSTITUTE? – A STUDY OVER WINTER WHEAT CROP IN INDIA
Authors: Pandit A. , Sawant S. , Mohite J. , Rajpoot N. , Pappula S.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from optical satellite images plays a very important role in determining the state of plants' health. Also, it is an important parameter needed in various statistical/process-based models. However, the use of optical images is sometimes limited because of atmospheric conditions and cloud cover. On the other hand, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing has been widely used for crop monitoring due to its high-resolution imaging and all-weather data acquisition capabilities. So, if the SAR backscatter response (σ0) and NDVI data could be correlated, it is possible to estimate NDVI (during complete or partial stages of crop development) under overcast situations. In this study, three different experiments have been performed to establish the relationship between NDVI-σ0VV, NDVI-σ0VH, and NDVI-σ0VV/σ0VH. Here, time-series σ0 (in VV and VH polarizations) and NDVI were extracted from Sentinel-1 and Senitnel-2, respectively. Based on the analysis, it is found that the NDVI is more closely correlated with the ratio σ0VV/σ0VH than it is with σ0VV and σ0VH when data points from the start of cropping season up to the start of the maturity stage of the crop, were considered (referred to as experiment 2 and experiment 3). This is opposed to experiment 1, which took into account all data points related to the crop's development i.e. start of cropping season up to the harvesting stage of the crop. The best results were obtained from experiment 3 in which higher-order polynomial regressions were developed between NDVI and σ0VV/σ0VH. A significant correlation ranging from R2 = 0.81 to 0.98 were observed for NDVI-σ0VV/σ0VH. The study was conducted on selected farms located in the same agro-climatic zone during the Rabi season of 2018–19.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a widely used approach in construction project management, providing a detailed and integrated view of a building’s physical and functional characteristics. However, BIM models can be further improved by incorporating data from remote sensing techniques such as Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI), which provides information on ground deformation and movement. In this paper, we present a methodology for integrating PSI data into BIM models using the industry foundation class (IFC) format and presenting it in a custom web platform. We use SAR data and PSI processing to obtain deformation information, generate an IFC compatible model, cluster PS points, and create a custom web platform for data presentation. The proposed approach has the potential to improve construction project management by providing a more comprehensive understanding of a building’s behavior and enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions based on remote sensing data.
INTER-REGION TRANSFER LEARNING FOR LAND USE LAND COVER CLASSIFICATION

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Land use land cover (LULC) classification is an essential task in Earth Observation (EO) as it helps in monitoring long-term developments, detecting changes and analysing their environmental impacts. Due to advancements in remote sensing, there is an abundance of open data available but annotating this data is expensive. As a result, many research works in EO create a labelled dataset for one selected region and perform a corresponding regional analysis. By employing transfer learning, we can reuse these labelled datasets for different regions and thereby minimize the manual annotation costs. However, there are some open questions: to what extent can the features learned in one region be transferred to another? Does a larger pre-training dataset mean better transfer learning performance? How can we estimate the transfer learning performance? To answer these questions, we divide a large EO dataset called BigEarthNet into sub-datasets by region and perform region to region transfer learning. We find that the models trained on one region do not perform well on another region. We applied transfer learning techniques and showed that the class imbalance can hinder learning. If the source region has additional classes which are dominant in the source region or has fewer images for the classes dominant in the target region, transfer learning can have negative impacts on the model performance in the target region. We also demonstrate the use of chi-squared distance in selecting an appropriate source region for transfer learning.
SPARSESAT-NERF: DENSE DEPTH SUPERVISED NEURAL RADIANCE FIELDS FOR SPARSE SATELLITE IMAGES
Authors: Zhang L. , Rupnik E.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Digital surface model generation using traditional multi-view stereo matching (MVS) performs poorly over non-Lambertian surfaces, with asynchronous acquisitions, or at discontinuities. Neural radiance fields (NeRF) offer a new paradigm for reconstructing surface geometries using continuous volumetric representation. NeRF is self-supervised, does not require ground truth geometry for training, and provides an elegant way to include in its representation physical parameters about the scene, thus potentially remedying the challenging scenarios where MVS fails. However, NeRF and its variants require many views to produce convincing scene’s geometries which in earth observation satellite imaging is rare. In this paper we present SparseSat-NeRF (SpS-NeRF) – an extension of Sat-NeRF adapted to sparse satellite views. SpS-NeRF employs dense depth supervision guided by crosscorrelation similarity metric provided by traditional semi-global MVS matching. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on stereo and tri-stereo Pléiades 1B/WorldView-3 images, and compare against NeRF and Sat-NeRF.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Due to its ability to acquire data regardless of weather conditions and solar illumination, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) intensity data is the preferred data for large-scale flood mapping. However, due to the SAR image distortions and complex land cover conditions at large scale, there are areas where SAR data is unable to measure ground surface changes caused by floodwater, which is crucial information that cannot be overlooked for large-scale applications. To address this limitation of SAR data, two similar products, the LIST Exclusion map (EX-map) and the GFM exclusion mask, were recently proposed to identify these problematic areas. As there is no established criterion to evaluate these two products, a comprehensive comparison is necessary to investigate the consistency and differences between them for different end-users’ needs. We conducted the first-ever comparison between the LIST EX-map and the GFM exclusion mask, from their definitions to the site-scale products, while elaborating on their preferred application domains for different algorithms. We qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated the exclusion map using Sentinel-1 data for 11 test sites across five continents with global land cover maps to identify the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. The results show that the main differences exist in mountainous radar layovers/shadows and low vegetation such as grass, cropland, and shrubland. The evaluation results demonstrate a good agreement (64.87% ∼ 91.40%) between the two products.
The effect of spokes-character copycatting on consumers' brand evaluations
Authors:   , Sugimoto Toyohiko
Published: December 2023

Copycatting (i.e., imitating visual traits) a famous spokes-character (e.g., Tony the Tiger) on a product package is a common marketing tactic. However, whether, when, and how such spokes-character copycatting influences consumers’ reactions are unknown. Through experiments, this research first revealed the impact of spokes-character copycatting on consumers’ brand evaluation, the underlying mechanism of how the impact is driven, and the consumer group the impact is underlined. The overall results emphasise the robustness of the effect of spokes-character copycatting. The effect holds when other packaging designs (e.g., colour) change and when the product category in which the copycat situates varies.

Influence of Parental History of Hypertension on Frequency Domain Parameters of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Serum Lipid Profile in Prehypertensives
Authors: Karunamoorthy Vanathy , R Gayathri. , D Priyadarsini.
Published: December 2023

Background: Parental history and dyslipidemia are the most important non modifiable risk factor and modifiable risk factor for developing hypertension respectively. Many research studies have documented the role of the autonomic nervous system in the control of blood pressure. And heart rate variability is a non-invasive tool to assess the sympathovagal balance. Prehypertensives are at an increased risk of developing hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Hence our study aims at evaluating the role of parental history of hypertension on the sympathovagal balance and serum lipid profile parameters in prehypertensive individuals.
Aims & Objectives:
The aim of the study was
To assess the sympathovagal balance by recording the frequency domain parameters of heart rate variability in prehypertensives with and without parental history of hypertension.
To estimate the serum lipid profile parameters in prehypertensives with and without parental history of hypertension.
To correlate sympathovagal balance (LF:HF ratio) and serum lipid profile parameters in them.
Methods:
Study Area: Institute of Physiology and Experimental Medicine, Madras Medical College, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.
Study Population: Prehypertensive individuals with systolic blood pressure between 120 – 139mmHg or Diastolic blood pressure between 80 – 89mmHg.
Sample size: 60 prehypertensive individuals (30 with parental history and 30 without parental history of hypertension) selected from non-communicable diseases clinic, Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, Tamilnadu, Chennai.
Results: There was no significant difference in age, body mass index between the prehypertensives with and without parental history. There was increased sympathetic drive in prehypertensives with parental history and the sympathovagal balance was altered and was suggestive of sympathetic overactivity in them. The serum lipid profile parameters like total cholesterol, Triglycerides, Low density lipoprotein was significantly elevated in prehypertensives with parental history. Also the increase in lipid profile parameters (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein) correlated with increase in the sympathovagal imbalance. A decrease in high density lipoprotein correlated with the increase in sympathovagal imbalance in prehyperetensives with parental history.

Published: December 2023

Objectives: The outbreak of the virus infection Monkeypox (Mpox) in England was on transmission level 2. Mpox and HIV infections may occur simultaneously among the MSM population, exacerbating the symptoms along with treating problems. We aimed to study if Mpox painful genital symptoms correlated with immunocompromised status, sexuality, admissions and length of hospital stay.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis was conducted. The admissions were divided into four groups named: perianal, penile, rectal and other symptoms. Correlations between patients’ pain groups, sexuality or immunocompromised status as well as length of hospital stay were studied. Significances were computed by Spearman’s rho correlation and Kruskal-Wallis H analyses of variance.
Results: Sixty-nine patients were included, 65 males with mean age=38,5 (SD 8.29; Md=39) and females’ mean age=35.5 (SD 9.04; Md= 39.5) years (n.s.). The two gender’s Mpox pain areas differed from each other (p= .014). A total of 38% of the male patients presented painful perianal or rectal lesions and 22 males displayed general symptoms and 17 acknowledged MSM. A total of 40% of the males were sexually active with multiple partners; an inverse correlation between males with MSM and males with HIV (rho [25] = -.385*, p= .029, 1-tailed) was revealed. Altogether 23% of males presented HIV and 8% suffered from additional STI. Those with rectal pain had the longest hospital stay with a mean of 6.0 (SD 7.63) days (p= .017) compared to other groups.
Conclusion: Correlations between patients diagnosed with Mpox and genital symptoms were revealed as opposed to inverse correlations between immunocompromised status/HIV and MSM.

Published: December 2023

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of failure to thrive among children in Bayelsa state and its associated factors. It was a cross-sectional study designed to obtain anthropometric data and history of failure to thrive children and determine associated factors by using a pre-tested questionnaire. A total of 374 failure to thrive children ages 1 to 5 years were investigated from three local government areas of the State; Southern Ijaw (124), Yenagoa (126) and Nembe (124). 185 were males while 189 were females. The Gomez classification and four-week recall approaches were used as criteria to estimate failure to thrive among children. 24.6% (92) of the children were diagnosed to have failure to thrive using the Gomez criteria while 19.8% (18) of the children were said to have failure to thrive using the four weeks’ recall approach. Furthermore, result also showed that majority of the cases of failure to thrive are a mix of organic and non-organic factors with a significant relationship between health status of child at birth using Chi-square (X2) = 14.357, difference (d) = 1, and P-value = 0.000 at 95% confidence interval, thus showing a significant relationship between failure to thrive and child being ill at birth and health status of the mother. Also, there was a significant relationship between failure to thrive and exposure to environmental pollutants with Chi-square (X2) = 11.607, difference (d) = 1, and P-value = 0.001 at 95% confidence interval. The high prevalence of failure to thrive among children under the age of five in Bayelsa State calls for immediate public actions such as promotion of optimum infant and young child nutrition and regular growth monitoring of children and mothers health in the state for improved growth and development and health outcomes of children in the state.

Authors: Dar Mohammad Talat-ul- Tuba , Shakeel Hanan , Malik Maajid Mohi Ud Din
Published: December 2023

Ambulatory or same-day surgery is becoming increasingly common as a cost-effective alternative to inpatient surgery. However, ambulatory anaesthesia services face unique challenges in transitioning patients efficiently through the perioperative period in a safe and timely manner. This review examines strategies for restructuring ambulatory anaesthesia services to maximize efficiency, quality of care and patient satisfaction. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library to identify studies evaluating models of ambulatory anaesthesia care. Studies were included that reported on structured preoperative assessment, standardized anaesthesia protocols, enhanced recovery after surgery pathways and postoperative ambulatory anaesthesia units. The results demonstrate that standardized protocols, multidisciplinary teams, dedicated pre-assessment clinics and postoperative ambulatory units can streamline perioperative care and reduce costs while maintaining high-quality outcomes for ambulatory surgery patients. Further research is still needed to identify optimal models of care, especially for more complex ambulatory procedures. Overall, this review provides an evidence-based framework to guide the restructuring of ambulatory anaesthesia services.

Banyaknya fenomena atau peristiwa ketika seseorang yang diundang untuk menghadiri walimatul ‘urs namun tidak menghadirinya tanpa adanya udzur dan hanya menitipkan amplop yang berisi sedekah atau sumbangan sebagai pengganti dirinya menghadiri undangan  tersebut. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari hukum titip amplop sebagai pengganti menghadiri undangan walimatul ‘urs perspektif hukum islam. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode study library, yaitu sebuah metode penelitian yang dilakukan dengan cara mengkaji berbagai referensi serta hasil penelitian sebelumnya yang sejenis yang berguna untuk mendapatkan landasan teori mengenai masalah yang akan diteliti. Hasil penelitian pada skripsi ini yaitu hukum menghadiri undangan walimatul ‘urs adalah wajib jika tidak ada ‘udzur. Titip amplop tidak sah digunakan sebagai pengganti menghadiri undangan walimatul ‘urs. Karena ibadah sunah tidak bisa menggantikan ibadah wajib. Menghadiri undangan walimatul ‘urs memiliki status hukum wajib jika undangan tersebut memenuhi syarat-syarat sebagai undangan yang wajib didatangi. Seseorang yang tidak menghadiri walimah tanpa adanya udzur akan tetap mendapatkan dosa. Namun apabila memiliki udzur maka hukum wajib mendatangi undangan tersebut menjadi gugur. Adapun amplop atau sedekah yang ia berikan tetap bernilai ibadah namun tidak dapat menggugurkan kewajiban menghadiri walimah.

The aim of this research is to determine the minimum dowry limit according to Imam Syafi'i and Imam Malik. This type of research is included in literature or library research (Library Research). The data sources for this research consist of primary data and secondary data. Data analysts use a comparative approach. From the results of this research, it can be seen that according to Imam Syafi'i there is no minimum limit for giving a dowry. Anything that can make it valuable for others can be used as a dowry. For Imam Syafi'i, the main principle in dowry is willingness as in buying and selling, not the nominal amount given. If husband and wife are happy with each other, then both can set a dowry at a small or large level. According to Imam Syafi'i, something that is valuable and acceptable to humans can be used as a dowry, as if the seller and buyer are mutually pleased to carry out a buying and selling transaction on something that has a price, then the transaction is permissible.

The assessment of the ameliorative potentials of A. cepa and its fractions on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats was evaluated in this study. 45 Wistar rats of both sexes were randomly divided into 9 groups of 5 animals each; as follows: group I, served as control and received 10 ml/kg body weight of 0.9% saline, group II, 10mg/kg body weight of doxorubicin, group III, 4 mg/kg body weight of vitamin E plus Dox. Group IV, 1000mg/kg body weight of crude extracts of A. cepa plus Dox. Group V, 1000mg/kg body weight of n-hexane fraction of A. cepa plus Dox. Group VI, 1000mg/kg body weight of DCM fraction of A. cepa plus Dox. Group VII, 1000mg/kg body weight of EA fraction of A.cepa plus Dox. Group VIII, 1000mg/kg body weight of methanol fraction of A. cepa plus Dox, and group IX, combinations of 1000mg/kg, 4mg/kg 10mg/kg body weight of crude extract of A. cepa, vitamin E and Dox respectively for 16 days. Groups I and II treatments lasted 14 days, while treatments for groups III-VIII lasted 16 days (making 14 day for respective treatments and addition 2 days for doxorubin administered once 48 hourly) before sacrificing. All substances in this study were administered orally except doxorubicin that was done intravenously. The results showed that doxorubicn administration (group II) significantly (p<0.05) elevated troponin and NO levels; CK and LDH activities, compared to the control group indicating cardiotoxicity. This cardiotoxic effect of doxorubincin was significantly reversed by administration of vitamin E, crude extract, DCM, n-hexane to groups III, IV, V and VI respectively. A significant (p<0.05) reduction of only NO was recorded with EA fraction, compared with group II (dox). Methanol fraction (group VIII) further escalated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity with a significantly (p<0.05) elevated myoglobulin and NO levels and CK activity. But the combined treatment with vitamin E, Crude extract and dox significantly (p<0.05) reduced cardiotoxic markers in this study except myoglobulin where a significant (p<0.05) elevation was recorded. It can be concluded that fresh A. cepa leaves extract possesses cardio-protective properties and may be a suitable cardio-protector against drug-induced cardiotoxicity in crude extract form, fractions of DCM and n-hexane but definitely not with methanol fraction as shown in this study.

This study was carried out to examine Word Compounding as a morphological process in Efik Language. Compounding is a word formation process based on the combination of lexical elements. Words can be considered as a complex part in language since it has many different forms. Compound words are words formed through one of the word formation processes by combining one lexical item with another and thus produces a new word with a new meaning. This research work investigates to know how compound words are formed in Efik language. This work describes the forms of compound words, the meaning of words in their individual lexical categories as well as the meaning of words in their compounded state. It was discovered that some compound words in Efik could be literally realized or figuratively realized when undergoing the word formation process of compounding. It was also discovered that lexical categories resulting from the process of compounding are noun compound, verb compound, adjective compound and reduplication in the case of adverb. Most of the times, coined Efik counterparts of words are formed mostly by compounding and analogy. The use of English equivalents for compound words by the Efik-English bilinguals in their code-mixing utterance counts as an appropriate statement or reply.

Many food policy councils, food and agriculture-oriented groups, coalitions, organizations, funders, nonprofits, decision-makers, government depart­ments, and other entities work to address local food system issues and inequities that negatively affect human, animal, and planetary wellbeing. In this article, we summarize and reflect on the pro­cess of creating an open-access food system indica­tors database. Our goal has been to create a library of indicators from which groups can draw when assessing their local food system, identifying improvement opportunities, and evaluating their efforts. The indicators were extracted from seven sources selected to cover a wide range of food sys­tem elements and pertinent topics, including nutri­tion, agricultural production, racial equity, health outcomes, environmental impacts, and economics. Our work can contribute to needed research on monitoring and evaluating food system attributes and changes, developing a common set of indica­tors that groups can use to track food systems across places and over time and to assess racial equity, justice, and fairness in the food system.
O ensino de geografia e o ciberespaço: O uso das TIC na rede escolar de Altamira – Pará
Authors: Costa Taiane , Soares Daniel
Published: December 2023

Contexto: O objetivo deste estudo é analisar como os professores percebem as TICs e o uso dos espaços virtuais para o ensino. Especificamente, identificar quais os espaços virtuais que os professores de Geografia utilizam para a prática educativa, assim como conhecer se os professores utilizam do ciberespaço para a sua prática diante do contexto da cibercultura, para além de conhecer como vem se constituindo a relação do professor com os espaços virtuais da internet (ciberespaço) no ambiente escolar nas aulas de Geografia, tendo em vista as implicações desta relação para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos. Metodologia: Os dados foram coletados a partir da aplicação de um questionário virtual com dez professores de geografia da rede pública de ensino do 6º ao 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental, no Município de Altamira, Pará. A análise de coleta dos dados ocorreu por meio das respostas dos professores ao questionário virtual. Considerações: A análise dos resultados mostra-nos que o a disponibilidade e o uso das TICs e do ciberespaço no ambiente escolar, e o acesso a rede, estão abaixo das suas potencialidades. Reforça ainda a convicção de que é necessário desenvolver ações que possibilitem pensar a introdução das TICs na escola e do ambiente virtual numa vertente pedagógica, de forma a criar oportunidades e experiências de aprendizagem que favoreçam a construção do conhecimento ao educando.

Synchronous bilateral male breast cancer: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Dunn Natassia , D Nguyen Peter , W Yuen Sarah , Lin Erin
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Male synchronous bilateral breast cancer, defined as contralateral breast cancer diagnosed within 12 months of a previous breast cancer, is extraordinarily rare. This case report aims to provide improved understanding of the nuances in presentation, associated risk factors, and treatment options of synchronous bilateral male breast cancer.

Case Report: A 68-year-old man presented with a one-month history of palpable bilateral retroareolar breast masses. He underwent workup with a bilateral breast ultrasound which showed an irregular hypoechoic mass 8 × 8 × 6 cm in the right breast at 7 o’clock in the retroareolar region and an oval hypoechoic mass 7 × 4 × 7 cm with indistinct margins in the left breast at 8 o’clock in the retroareolar region. Subsequent ultrasound-guided core needle biopsies revealed right breast moderately differentiated invasive ductal carcinoma and left breast high grade ductal carcinoma in situ. He underwent a bilateral simple mastectomy with bilateral axillary sentinel lymph node biopsies and was started on anastrozole at his initial post-operative visit. Four-month surveillance imaging with computed tomography chest, abdomen, pelvis, and dual X-ray absorptiometry showed no evidence of local recurrence or metastases.

Conclusion: Male breast cancer commonly presents as a painless retroareolar mass. Workup should include imaging studies to localize and characterize the lesion and tissue diagnosis via core needle biopsy. Treatment of male breast cancer largely includes simple mastectomy with adjuvant endocrine therapy. Future breast cancer studies should include male cohorts to improve our understanding and treatment options between the two sexes.

Estudo conduzido no Hospital Veterinário da Uniube durante o período de 2006 a 2023 explorou a hérnia diafragmática em gatos, focando na epidemiologia, sinais clínicos, diagnóstico, aspectos cirúrgicos e complicações pós-operatórias. Esta pesquisa visou entender melhorar essa condição no intuito de aprimorar o atendimento dos animais afetados. Descobriu-se que a hérnia diafragmática é o tipo mais comum entre as hérnias em gatos, abrangendo 76,49% dos casos. Ela afeta principalmente felinos jovens e se manifesta com sintomas respiratórios, como dispneia e abafamento de sons torácicos. O diagnóstico é eficaz por meio de exames radiográficos, destacando-se pela perda de definição da cúpula diafragmática e órgãos abdominais no tórax. Além disso, observou-se que a hérnia diafragmática em gatos frequentemente está associada a lesões graves, como fraturas e traumas cranioencefálicos e raquimedulares, o que agrava o prognóstico. A condição apresenta uma alta taxa de mortalidade, ocorrendo tanto no pré-operatório e transoperatório quanto no pós-operatório. Este estudo fornece informações valiosas para a gestão dessa condição em gatos, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes felinos.
