Assessing citizen satisfaction of urban local government service and infrastructure in Bangladesh: A case study of Pabna municipality
Authors: Bhuiyan Md. Al-Fahad , Islam Md. Ashraful
Published: October 2023

The provision of essential services to residents heavily relies on the infrastructure and functioning of urban local government institutions. The satisfaction citizens have with these institutions is an important indicator of the effectiveness of governance mechanisms. This study aims to assess the degree of citizen satisfaction with urban local government services and infrastructure, specifically in the context of Pabna municipality in Bangladesh. A qualitative and quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing survey data from 120 structured questionnaires and 20 interviews. The study results show that a significant proportion of municipality residents (56%) express deep dissatisfaction with basic services and infrastructure performance. The municipality has failed to effectively deliver sanitation, disaster management, waste management, roads and bridges, traffic infrastructure, and public utilities services as required. The study also identified key challenges in delivering basic services, including poor infrastructure, a lack of initiatives, adequate resources, a large workforce, and sufficient equipment. The findings suggest that the municipality should prioritize sustainable city planning through democratic participation and consideration of residents’ perceived experiences to deliver a high degree of citizen satisfaction.

Published: October 2023

В статье рассматриваются некоторые криминологические особенности насильственной преступности, обозначается круг деяний, относящихся к таковым. Рас-крываются виды насилия и, соответственно, насильственных преступлений. Анализиру-ются факторы, детерминирующие преступное поведение лиц, совершающих убийства, умышленные причинения тяжкого вреда здоровью и др., освещаются основные про-блемы, связанные с предупреждением данного вида преступности. Материалы и методы. Нормативную основу исследования образует уголовное законодательство Российской Федерации. Методологической основой исследования послужили современные общенаучные и частнонаучные методы познания социальных явлений и процессов (диалектический, индуктивный, дедуктивный, анализ, синтез, формально-юридический, моделирование). Результаты исследования. Автором обозначены основные меры профилактики насильственной преступности. Выделены особенности поведения жертвы и предупре-ждения девиантного поведения лиц, склонных к проявлению насилия, находящихся в неблагоприятных социальных условиях (в том числе подростков), а также уже имею-щих криминальный опыт насилия. Выводы и заключения. При реализации мер профилактики насильственной преступности важнейшим ее элементом выступает профилактическая работа как с потенциальными, так и с реальными жертвами исследуемых преступлений. Кроме того, для профилактики насильственной преступности необходимо нивелировать негативные социальные явления, которые служат своеобразным «фоном» крими-нального насилия, зачастую детерминируя его.

Agriculture acknowledges a fundamental part by temperance of the fast improvement of everybody and expanded interest in food in India. Consequently, it is expected to increase gather yield. One serious reason for low gather yield is contamination achieved by microorganisms, disease, and creatures. Plant disease examination is one of the major and fundamental errands in the piece of developing. It will in general be thwarted by using plant illness identification strategies. To screen, notice or deal with plant infections physically is an exceptionally complicated task. It requires immense extents of work, and needs absurd arranging time; thus, picture handling is used to recognize sicknesses of plants. Plant infection grouping should be possible by utilizing AI calculations which incorporate advances like dataset creation, load pictures, pre- getting ready, division, highlight extraction, preparing classifier, and arrangement. The primary target of this exploration is to build one model, which groups the solid and infected reap leaves and predicts disease of plants. In this paper, the researchers have trained a model to recognize some unique harvests and 38 diseases from the public dataset which contains 70,306 images of the diseases and healthy plant leaves that are collected under controlled conditions. This paper worked on the ResNets algorithm. Keywords—Plant leaf disease, Deep Learning, CNN algorithm

Sex change in multiple gender sufferers is associated with Islamic law and the Population Administration Law
Authors: Utami Azalia Rahma , Djanuardi Djanuardi , Rachmainy Linda
Published: October 2023

The phenomenon of transsexuality and sex change is still something that is considered taboo or should not be done by Indonesian society, the reason is because our country upholds religious values, traditions and eastern values adopted by society. Keep in mind that not everyone is born with normal conditions. There are some people who experience gender ambiguity or in medical terms called ambiguous genetalia   or sex ambiguity and Islamic jurisprudence studies, this group of people is referred to as khunsa or double gender. The results of this study show that Law Number 23 of 2006 concerning Population Administration opens up opportunities for sex change by submitting a sex change application to the court so that the event can be recorded at the relevant agency. Judging from Islamic law, Islamic law also allows sex change if done for someone suffering from multiple gender conditions (khuntsa) as a form of treatment as stipulated in Fatwa No. 03/MUNASVIII/MUI/2010.

Published: October 2023

Objective: To examine activities of daily living (ADL) and physical activity in older adults with heart failure admitted to a rehabilitation ward for subacute musculoskeletal disease.Methods: This study included patients with musculoskeletal disease (aged ≥75 years) who were admitted to the rehabilitation ward. Data on age, ADL, and time for physical activity (metabolic equivalents [METs]) were collected. Patients were divided into groups with or without heart failure, and the differences were compared using Mann–Whitney U-test.Results: This study included 84 musculoskeletal patients, including 25 with heart failure. The heart-failure group had similar levels of ADL independence compared to the without-heart-failure group (p=0.28) but had shorter duration of continuous and sustained physical activities and less total time (p<0.01) of light-intensity physical activity or higher.Conclusion: Older adults with subacute musculoskeletal disease with heart failure do not necessarily require a large amount of physical activity to maintain ADL at the time of discharge. But very low physical activity may increase the risk for developing hospitalization-associated disability. Physical activity in older adults with subacute musculoskeletal disease with heart failure should be monitored separately from ADL.

Published: October 2023

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological information of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and concomitant traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to suggest points to be aware of during the initial physical examination of patients with SCI.Methods: This study was a retrospective, observational study conducted in a regional trauma center. All the records of patients diagnosed with traumatic SCI between 2016 and 2020 were reviewed. A total of 627 patients with confirmed traumatic SCI were hospitalized. A retrospective study was conducted on 363 individuals.Results: The epidemiological data of 363 individuals were investigated. Changes in American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) scores in patients with SCI were evaluated. The initial evaluation was performed on average 11 days after the injury, and a follow-up examination was performed 43 days after. Fourteen of the 24 patients identified as having AIS A and SCI with concomitant TBI in the initial evaluation showed neurologic level of injury (NLI) recovery with AIS B or more. The conversion rate in patients with SCI and concomitant TBI exceeded that reported in previous studies in individuals with SCI.Conclusions: Physical, cognitive, and emotional impairments caused by TBI present significant challenges in rehabilitating patients with SCI. In this study, the influence of concomitant TBI lesions could have caused the initial AIS assessment to be incorrect.

Authors: EKİMCİ DENİZ Funda , GEMALMAZ Ayfer
Published: October 2023

Aim: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections of childhood. The generation of the causing pathogen in urine culture is the gold standard in diagnosis. However, due to the low likelihood of urine culture, particularly in primary healthcare facilities, and the prolonged results of urine culture, the patient must perform different examinations. In this case, it is thought that urinalysis and urine microscopy may guide physicians. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the role of urinalysis and urinary microscopy in the diagnosis of urinary tract infection. Methods: In this study, 728 children between the ages of 3-6 who applied to the pediatric emergency clinic at a university hospital over a 12-month period and were able to deliver both samples for urinalysis and urine culture were included. Retrospective patient file screening was done using the Hospital Information Management System, and Statistical Software SPSS 18.0 was used to assess the data. Results: 425 (58.4%) female and 303 (41.6%) male patients were included in the study. Patients with urine culture reproduction comprised 30.5% male and 69.5% female. The relationship between urinalysis and urine culture results was found to be statistically significant (p

Published: October 2023

Democracy in the wind. A study on improving the democratic legitimacy of regional energy strategies

In regional energy strategies (RES) in the Netherlands, governments, the business community and social organizations reach agreements about sustainable energy generation. Because major interests are involved, it is necessary to anchor democratic legitimacy properly. However, this is not self-evident: there is no institutional structure for the RES within which a democratic framework and accountability are laid down. This article therefore focuses on the following design question: ‘How can the democratic legitimacy of the regional energy strategies as a form of regional governance be improved?’ It proposes improvements that increase the quality of decision-making in the RES regions. The theoretical perspective includes a conceptualization of democracy and legitimacy. The data for this study come from an analysis of the ways in which the Dutch RES regions of Twente and West Overijssel deal with this situation. Experiences with these interpretations were collected through literature research, document analysis and interviews with administrators, representatives of the people and the officials involved. Based on this, recommendations are formulated that contribute to improving the democratic legitimacy of the RES regions. The combination of democratic renewal and regional decision-making emphasizes the relevance of these outcomes for the follow-up process of the RES regions in the Netherlands: RES 2.0 will be determined in 2023, in which a shift will take place to more concrete search areas for sustainable energy.

Arm’s length bodies: the Netherlands in an international perspective and concerns about steering

Arm’s length bodies are often used by Dutch municipalities for the implementation of local tasks. An arm’s length body is ‘a private-law or public-law organization in which the Dutch province or municipality has an administrative and a financial interest’. The use of arm’s length bodies is an international trend, but foreign knowledge is little used in the Dutch debate about arm’s length bodies. This essay provides an overview of what is known about these bodies from international public administration and places the Dutch situation in an international context. The authors then discuss some concerns about steering (control) that exist internationally and in the Netherlands about arm’s length bodies. They describe three concerns: concerns about information deficiencies, democratic deficiencies, and governance deficiencies.

Representaciones sociales y diálogo de saberes para la sostenibilidad. Caso: cuenca hidrográfica del Canal de Panamá
Authors: Scotto Alba
Published: October 2023

El Parque Nacional Chagres aporta el 40% del agua que requiere la operación del Canal de Panamá, y el 80% del agua potable para el consumo humano de la capital. Cubre casi un tercio de la superficie de la Cuenca Hidrográfica del Canal y se ve afectado por una creciente presión antrópica. En la investigación se exploraron las representaciones sociales sobre territorio, desarrollo y sostenibilidad de los moradores del Parque. El estudio es de tipo cualitativo, con enfoque fenomenológico; y se utilizó la entrevista semiestructurada y el análisis del discurso, con un proceso de categorización emergente. Se concluye que las representaciones sociales de territorio y desarrollo son claras y compartidas; en el primer caso, se destacan las vivencias de bienestar por los beneficios que brinda la naturaleza; en el segundo, se vincula con servicios públicos, fuentes de trabajo, y con la satisfacción de necesidades básicas. En el caso de la sostenibilidad y el desarrollo sostenible, los sentidos son difusos, lo cual contrasta con la clara imagen de la protección ambiental. A partir de los significados develados se establecieron lineamientos conceptuales, axiológicos y metodológicos para una propuesta educativa basada en el diálogo de saberes para la sostenibilidad.

Published: October 2023

İnsanoğlunun doğduğu andan itibaren hayatını etkileyen faktörler arasında ailenin özellikle de anne ve babanın büyük önemi bulunmaktadır. Bireylerin dünyayı tanıma ve kendini keşfetme sürecinde doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak aileler rol oynamaktadır. İlk sosyalleşme adımlarını attığımız küçük yaşlarda ebeveynlerin de etkisi ile meslek seçimine yönelik düşünceler başlamaktadır. Bu seçim kariyer hedeflemenin ilk basamaklarından biri olarak yer alır. Kariyer adımları bireysel olarak gözükse de çevreden, sosyo-ekonomik faktörlerden özellikle aileden etkilenmektedir. Bireysel gelişmişlik ve farkındalık düzeyi de kariyer tutumlarımızı etkilemektedir. Kişinin geçmiş yaşantılarını fark etmesi ve olası durumlarda anlık olarak hatırlaması bilinçli farkındalığının geliştiğini göstermektedir. Yani kariyer hedeflemesi yapan bireyin duygu, yaşanmışlık ve fikirlerini kendi ile harmanlayarak anlamlandırması durumudur. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada anne ve babanın ebeveynlik tarzlarının bireylerin bilinçli farkındalıkları üzerine etkilerinin olup olmadığı araştırılmak istenmiştir. Yapılan araştırmada kasti örnekleme yöntemi uygulanmış; veri toplamak için de anket yöntemi seçilmiştir. 339 üniversite hazırlık sınıfı öğrencisiyle gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, Sümer ve Güngör (2000)’ün ebeveynlik stili ölçeğiyle Brown ve Ryan (2003) tarafından geliştirilen ve Özyeşil vd.’nin (2011) Türkçe’ye uyarladığı bilinçli farkındalık ölçeğinden yararlanılmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi yöntemiyle ebeveynlik stili sıkı denetim/kontrol ve kabul/ilgi olmak üzere iki ana boyuta ayrılmıştır. İki boyutun medyanları göz önünde bulundurularak dört temel çocuk yetiştirme stili (otoriter, anlayışlı/otoriter, izin verici/şımartan ve izin verici/ihmalkar) oluşturulmuştur. Yapılan işlemler anne ve baba için ayrı ayrı gerçekleştirilmiş olup iki ebeveynin toplumsal rolleri göz önünde bulundurulmuştur. İkinci aşamasında ise ebeveynlik stili boyutları ve çocuk yetiştirme stili boyutlarının bilinçli farkındalık üzerindeki etkisi yapısal eşitlik analizi yöntemiyle incelenerek tartışılmış ve gelecek çalışmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Published: October 2023

Advancements in remote sensing technology have provided excellent opportunities for mapping the seabed and substrates. Pomorie and Nessebar are ideal for combining single-beam sonar, multi-beam sounding, and drone imaging to map seabed forms and substrates. This paper presents the final stage of the "Multidisciplinary study of Burgas Bay - MidBay" Project. The project aims to create a substrate map and identify different seabed forms. Recent systematic studies have shown that the seabed, beach, and shallowest parts up to 2 meters in depth have undergone changes, primarily observed in the shallowest part of the area. This justifies reconstructing a portion of the Nessebar and Pomorie coast in three dimensions. The article reviews echo sounder and drone research conducted along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, emphasizing the importance of combining successful methodologies and best practices to derive a contemporary digital model of the terrain and raster data for the bays. The primary mission is to accomplish this, utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and sonar raster mosaics to locate the boundaries between the various lithological formations. This article aims to map the seabed substrates in the Folk 5 Classes and evaluate the accuracy of UAV-based DSMs, high-resolution orthomosaics, and single-beam echo sounding, essential for researching the most dynamic coastal landforms along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.

Authors: Prodanov Kosta
Published: October 2023

For the most risky sections in the metro construction, the postulates of the mining methods using steel structures have to be used. With the classic settings of these methods, innovative technical solutions can be achieved, to which this report is dedicated. It is necessary to search for simplified, safe and durable tunnels and shafts when crossing existing subway lines. On this basis, the statements of the specific geomechanical tasks were formulated. In the case of shafts, the fundamental differences in the application of the classical statements of earth mechanics and the theoreticalexperimental methods for determining earth pressure have been clarified. The specifics between temporary and permanent steel fasteners used in subway construction, as well as the place of shafts in the contact between existing and newly constructed infrastructure, are discussed. The conditions of application of the steel mine fasteners in subway construction and the specifics when constructing the main details of the support frames are clarified. A mixed method between mining and New Austrian is proposed for crossing risk zones with saturated urban infrastructure. The basic principles of modeling and construction of cross tunnels between pipes of metro diameters are considered. The report with examples from practice discusses both the geomechanical problems using steel structures and their engineering solution with specific examples of implemented facilities. They bring out recommendations for practice.

As part of the GoldenEye project with European co-financing type H2020, the Academic Leapfrog Geo licensed program was purchased, with which a 3D modeling of the deposit body was made based on open source data, geological maps of the Romanian Geological Institute, non- secret data of CUPRUMIN company and drone flights. The ore has not been modeled in 3D up to now, this work presents for the first time the first consolidated modeling that highlights the size of the ore deposit body. These modelings will allow the taking of technical decisions regarding: the mode of exploitation ( open-pit /underground, redefining the depth of the exploitation limit, the location and development of waste dumps, the geometry of the open pit, the location of underground mining works and preparation works for underground exploitation, data from structural geology). The 1:1 scale geometry of the open pit was traced through topographical measurements from the ground, drone and satellite surveys using Copernicus images. These data were correlated to check the information flow and the efficiency of the internal reporting of the project team in close collaboration with the CUPRUMIN beneficiary team. Three large monitoring campaigns were carried out in the period August 2021-May 2022-September 2022, on the current geometric model of the open pit, the drillings of thousands of meters were positioned with the initial coordinates and lengths, the main faults, the state of stability/instability of the slopes, the identification of four major categories of rock types.
MODEL STRUCTURE AND PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION FOR CUTTING HORIZON PREDICTION OF SHEARER LOADERS
Authors: Holm Mirjam , Bohn Christian
Published: October 2023

To reach autonomous control with good performance in shearer operated longwall mines, control algorithms have to be adapted to the system behaviour. Thus, one of the challenging tasks in this area is the identification of the behaviour, which is declared as complex and specific to each mining area. Therefore, it is necessary to determine a suitable model that reproduces the cut behaviour of a shearer loader and can be adapted to a real mining system.
This paper shows and analyses possible model structures to predict the cutting path of a shearer loader in the direction of face advance, combined with the least squares method for parameter identification. Single-step, as well as multi-step prediction are considered. Especially results of multi-step prediction of the cutting path, compared to the reference path shows whether the model structure and the identified parameters are valid or not. Data source for the parameter identification and cutting path reference is a complex and iteratively working simulation tool developed in cooperation with a German mining company for the training of operators.
Finally, a suitable, analytical model for parameter identification and prediction of the cutting horizon is pointed out.

In this study, we will present an investigation of the earthquakes of the Elbasani region, in terms of the location accuracy and analysis of the features of the seismoactive layers. The distribution of focal depth shows the activation of a lithospheric zone, which extends in depth between 0 and 40 km. Accurate assessment of seismoactive layers of the Elbasani zone is of great interest in the recognition of the real depth of seismic energy generation and relations with low velocity layers. The depth of earthquakes has particular interest in the case of moderate and strong earthquakes because it is related to their effect on the surface. Strong earthquakes with shallow focal depth cause greater damage than earthquakes of the same magnitude but with a deeper focal depth. The b-value depth analysis is related to the stresses for the seismoactive layers. The crustal structure of the Elbasani zone with high b-values is likely to be associated with crustal low-velocity zones. The earthquakes are relatively smaller beneath the low-velocity zones where the high heat flow values are observed. The location of moderate earthquakes with depths from 20 to 35 km, which means less surface effect than the same earthquake with a depth smaller than 10km. The intensity in the epicenter is dependent by the magnitude and by the focal depth. Analysis of these earthquakes show that shocks with Ml > 4.5 have greater depths than earthquakes with smaller magnitudes. This analysis shows that the seismoactive layer in Elbasani zone lies at a depth of about 30 km. These results are a step towards more detailed geodynamic and seismotectonic analysis.

In this study, a rapid compression machine (RCM) was used to study the traditional JP- 5 fuel and the JP-5 surrogate. In the experiment, the ignition delay characteristics with low-to-intermediate temperature compression temperatures ranging from 675-800K, compression pressures of 10, 15 and 20bar, and equivalence ratios of 0.25 and 0.37 are discussed. Among them, the auto-ignition delay time of JP-5 and the surrogate all shorten the ignition delay time as the compression pressure and equivalence ratio increases, where the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) phenomenon begins to occur at temperatures of approximately 732-746K. It is worth noting that an increase in pressure or the equivalence ratio of the two fuels changes their low-temperature oxidation reaction pathway, thereby increasing the initial temperature of the NTC. The two fuels showed similar ignition characteristics in the measured temperature range. The difference between the two fuels was approximately 6.18% when the equivalence ratio was 0.37, which means that the surrogate reproduced the ignition delay characteristics of the real fuel.

Given the large interest for future uses of hydrogen, special safety measures have to be implemented for avoiding potential accidents. The broad objective of the research study is represented by the development and testing of experimental models representing areas of analysis and study for the initiation and combustion of air-hydrogen mixtures, respectively by numerical modelling of these phenomena, in order to obtain appropriate input data sets for precision computer simulations of chemical explosions of air� hydrogen mixtures. This will lead to an increased level of safety and health at work specific to industries endangered by explosive atmospheres generated by hydrogen. A specific objective of the research carried out and which is presented in the current paper is represented by the identification of technical requirements and the design of experimental models used for the analysis of explosions of air-hydrogen mixtures. In this regard, computational simulations have been carried out for establishing the technical solutions for developing the experimental models for analysing hydrogen explosions with linear propagation and with for the ones in which the propagation direction changes. For achieving the goals of the paper, there has been performed a documentation regarding the explosive characteristics of hydrogen, the safety and use criteria of the experimental models have been established, and, in the end, a prototype of an experimental model has been set out and tested in the virtual environment.

Authors: Kardasz Piotr
Published: October 2023

The instability of the global fuel economy and increasing environmental problems are forcing the global scientific community to look for substitutes for fossil fuels, primarily oil. A promising direction for research seems to be fuel blends with natural additives or based entirely on renewable resources, the so-called biofuels. One of the more significant developments in biofuel research, is biofuels that use alcohols as part of the biofuel blend. The specific nature of these agents, however, makes it required and necessary to study the effects of using petroleum and alcohol-based concoctions on engine effects. A so-called analytical black box system can be used to perform calculations and create models. In this thesis, the subject of research systems such as white, grey and black boxes will be introduced, with particular emphasis on research methods used in the use of black boxes. In the following part of the paper, the process of using this kind of analysis to determine the combustion processes in an internal combustion engine, using the above-mentioned mixtures, and further to create a physical model of the utility operation, is shown in its entirety.

The article analyzes the problems of creating custom cyber-physical systems (CPS) and approaches to their design using computing platforms. The features and typical problems of the three main scenarios of creating a CPS are shown: 1) by applied specialists only; 2) by IT specialists only; 3) by applied and IT specialists jointly. The last scenario is considered in detail. The need for explicit allocation of interfaces for interaction between applied and IT specialists, explicit allocation of the CPS computing platform, as well as the need to create custom computing platforms is justified. Classification of computing platform interfaces by formalization and flexibility criteria is introduced.
Extensions of the traditional CPS design route are proposed to take into account the proposed principles of using custom computing platforms. The concepts of applied architecture and the CPS computing system microarchitecture are introduced. For custom CPS computing platforms, it is shown which components should be posed as reusable artifacts.
As an example of a custom computing platform usage in a CPS design, the problem of creating a robotic laboratory complex for automatic execution of experiments is considered. The interfaces of the computing platform, the logic of their allocation and their characteristics are shown.

3D printing technology is used in many areas, especially in prototyping new parts and elements. Assessment of the quality of powders for the production of 3D printing filament is extremely important because it has a direct impact on the quality and reliability of printed objects. High-quality powders are essential to ensure optimal performance and print accuracy.
In the case of 3D printing, filament is the basic material that is processed and layered to create three-dimensional objects. To ensure the quality and durability of printed items, the powders used to produce the filament must meet specific requirements.
When evaluating the quality of powders, various factors such as physical, chemical and mechanical properties are taken into account. Powders should be of sufficient purity and uniformity to avoid inclusions or misprints. Mechanical properties such as strength, flexibility and abrasion resistance are also important, especially in the case of objects that are subjected to loads or forces.
Evaluating the quality of powders also allows you to determine their compliance with specific industry standards and regulations. For specialist applications such as medicine or the aerospace industry, there are strict safety and quality requirements. Suitable powders must meet these standards to ensure the safety of end users and the effective functioning of printed parts.
The paper presents the results of the use of optical microscopy techniques combined with image analysis to assess the quality of recycled materials for filament production. The results of grain size characteristics of powders using a grain size and size analyzer were presented. Using the analysis of processed images, it was classified whether a given recycled material has the appropriate parameters for use in the production of 3D printing.

The research on the development of new robot control systems is currently underway. The interest in this area stems from the need for practical, user-friendly means of transport adapted to people with physical disabilities. The application of these devices will allow disabled people to manipulate external devices using EEG of both brain activity and eye movement.
It is still possible for people with disabilities to partially apply their gaze in order to control and communicate with an assistive device. However, the application of eyetracker - based interfaces technology encounters the problem of involuntary eye movements leading to unwanted item selection (the Midas-Touch problem). The following issue can be addressed by the development of multimodal and hybrid management interfaces.
Brain-computer interfaces implement translation of brain activity patterns into commands designed to control interactive applications, with recognition of motor imagination patterns. Thus, this study proposes a multimodal architecture for wheelchair gaze-control system for people with mobility impairments using gaze control and intention confirmation technology using brain-computer interfaces.
In this study, a hybrid model was proposed to classify EEG motor imagery signals and eye tracker signals to implement a control system with a neural network architecture consisting of pre-trained convolutional neural network and gated recurrent unit. The performance of the adapted approach is determined using a multiclass imaginary motion dataset and the corresponding swipes and classification results.
