Gambling is a crime whose form of action is mostly wrapped in the form of games, so it is easy to lure children to fall into a criminal consequence. Gambling is basically a victimless crime, so to reach a diversion agreement, it does not require the consent of the victim or the parents of the guardian/victim. If implemented consistently, this will provide a great opportunity for children who are perpetrators of gambling crimes to produce diversion agreements and prevent children from coming into contact with the criminal justice process. This is in line with restorative justice which is the legal goal of the juvenile criminal justice system. The problem in this study is to further examine the application of the principle of restorative justice by elements of the criminal justice system in dealing with children who are perpetrators of gambling crimes. The type of legal research conducted is normative juridical. The problem approach used in this research is an analytical approach. The data used in this study is secondary data. The legal analysis carried out is expected to be able to provide juridical arguments against several decisions related to the problems that are the object of this research. Of the three cases of child gambling examined in this study, it shows that there is a uniformity of approach taken by elements of the criminal justice system in dealing with child gambling offenders. Both investigators, public prosecutors, and judges are still ignorant of the diversion rights that have been regulated in the SPPA Law. As a result, children must come into contact with criminal justice processes that should be avoided in the best interests of children. After the Constitutional Court Decision stating that Articles 96, 99, 100, and 101 of the law no. 11 of 2012 concerning the juvenile criminal justice system are contrary to the constitution, it is necessary to create a control mechanism that is able to maintain the performance of elements in the juvenile criminal justice system in accordance with the objectives of the juvenile criminal justice system which prioritizes restorative justice.

Restoration of watershed forest ecosystems can perform different disturbance regimes over remnant forests, which can ultimately affect plant diversity, soil formation, and carbon storage. To address an issue, this study assessed tree species diversity, aboveground biomass (AGB), and aboveground carbon (AGC) storage of the watershed forest in Phayao Province, Thailand. Data collection was conducted in 18 plots along nine watersheds along the topographic gradients. Tree height and diameter at breast height (DBH) were collected. AGB of vegetation was estimated by using the allometric equation. Likewise, AGC storage was evaluated from half of AGB. A total of 133 species belonging to 105 genera and 39 families were recorded from the watershed forests (1.8 ha). Mixed deciduous forest (MDF) and dry evergreen forest (DEF) exhibited high density and high diversity index, respectively. The highest value of total AGC storage was found in the MDF with 91.2 ton C/ha, following by DEF (78.3 ton C/ha) and dry dipterocarp forest (DDF) (60.5 ton C/ha). Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) revealed that the occurrences of Albizia saman, Hopea odorata, Lagerstroemia calyculata, and Acrocarpus fraxinifolius related to AGB, AGC, slope, and tree canopy in the DEF. Intensity of slope influenced tree species occurrence in the watershed forest of Phayao.

Published: November 2022

Silicone rubber's silicone-oxygen backbones give unique material properties which are applicable in various biomedical devices. Due to the diversity of potential silicone rubber compositions, the material properties can vary widely. This paper characterizes the dielectric and mechanical properties of two different silicone rubbers, each with a different cure system, and in combination with silicone additives. A tactile mutator (Slacker (TM)) and/or silicone thickener (Thi-vex (TM)) were mixed with platinum-cured and condensation-cured silicone rubber in various concentrations. The dielectric constants, conductivities, and compressive and shear moduli were measured for each sample. Our study contributes novel information about the dielectric and mechanical properties of these two types of silicone rubber and how they change with the addition of two common silicone additives.

Segmentation of the fetus from 2-dimensional (2D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can aid radiologists with clinical decision making for disease diagnosis. Machine learning can facilitate this process of automatic segmentation, making diagnosis more accurate and user independent. We propose a deep learning (DL) framework for 2D fetal MRI segmentation using a Cross Attention Squeeze Excitation Network (CASE-Net) for research and clinical applications. CASE-Net is an end-to-end segmentation architecture with relevant modules that are evidence based. The goal of CASE-Net is to emphasize localization of contextual information that is relevant in biomedical segmentation, by combining attention mechanisms with squeeze-and-excitation (SE) blocks. This is a retrospective study with 34 patients. Our experiments have shown that our proposed CASE-Net achieved the highest segmentation Dice score of 87.36%, outperforming other competitive segmentation architectures.
Low Sampling-rate Approach for ECG Signals with Compressed Sensing Theory
Authors: Balouchestani Mohammadreza , Raahemifar Kaamran , Krishnan Sridhar
Published: November 2022

 

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) consist of tiny Biomedical Wireless Sensors (BWSs) and a Gate Way (GW) to connect to the external databases in the hospital and medical centres. The GW could connect the BWSs, to a range of wireless telecomnumication networks. These wireless telecommunication networks could be either a mobile phone network, a standard telephone network a dedicated medical centre or using public Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) nodes also known a Wi-Fi system. The electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are widely used in health care systems because they are non-invasive mechanisms to establish medical diagnosis of heart diseases. The current ECG systems suffer from important limitations: limited patient's mobility, limited energy, limited on wireless applications. The main drawback of current EGG systems is the location-specific nature of the systems due to the use of fixed/wired applications. That is why; there is a critical need to improve the current ECG systems to cover security handling and to achieve extended patient's mobility. With this in mind, Compressed Sensing (CS) procedure and the collaboration of Block Sparse Bayesian Learning (BSBL) framework is used to provide a robust low sampling-rate approach for normal and abnormal ECG signals. Advanced WBANs based on our approach will be able to deliver healthcare not only to patients in hospital and medical centres; but also in their homes and workplaces thus offering cost saving, and improving the quality of life. Our simulation results based on two proposed algorithms illustrate 15% incensement of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and a good level of quality for the degree of incoherence between the random measurement and sparsity matrices.

 
Knowledge-Based Green’s Kernel for Support Vector Regression
Authors: Farooq Tahir , Guergachi Aziz , Krishnan Sridhar
Published: November 2022

 This paper presents a novel prior knowledge-based Green's kernel for support vector regression (SVR). After reviewing the correspondence between support vector kernels used in support vector machines (SVMs) and regularization operators used in regularization networks and the use of Green's function of their corresponding regularization operators to construct support vector kernels, a mathematical framework is presented to obtain the domain knowledge about magnitude of the Fourier transform of the function to be predicted and design a prior knowledge-based Green's kernel that exhibits optimal regularization properties by using the concept of matched filters. The matched filter behavior of the proposed kernel function makes it suitable for signals corrupted with noise that includes many real world systems. We conduct several experiments mostly using benchmark datasets to compare the performance of our proposed technique with the results already published in literature for other existing support vector kernel over a variety of settings including different noise levels, noise models, loss functions, and SVM variations. Experimental results indicate that knowledge-based Green's kernel could be seen as a good choice among the other candidate kernel functions.

Optical wireless communications (OWC) has emerged as a strong candidate for wireless communications, due to the capacity limitation in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Especially visible light communication (VLC) has great potential for short-range outdoor vehicular communications, as vehicle LED lights also transmit data. However, outdoor VLC channels vary fast and, experience multipath scattering and reflection resulting in time domain dispersion. Outdoor VLC links are also subjected to high levels of ambient noise, especially from the sun. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), which has proven robustness to multi path fading and noise effects in RF links can also be deployed in VLC links. In this paper, optical OFDM (O-OFDM) along with adaptive modulation scheme is investigated in VLC for vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communications. A (2 x 2) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel, with multiple polarimetric bidirectional reflections and realistic sunlight interference is considered. Two schemes of O-OFDM; direct current biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) and asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM) are investigated. Simulation results of the proposed model show increase in data rates up to 50 Mbps along with reduced bit error rate (BER) under both line of sight (LOS) and non-LOS and high noise conditions.

Widespread proliferation of wireless coverage has enabled culmination of number of advanced location-based services (LBS). Continuous tracking of accurate physical location is the foundation of these services, which is a challenging task especially indoors. Multitude of techniques and algorithms have been proposed for indoor positioning systems (IPS's). However, accuracy, reliability, scalability and, adaptability to the environment still remain as challenges for widespread deployment. Especially, unpredictable radio propagation characteristics in vastly varying indoor environments plus access technology limitations contribute to these challenges. Machine learning (ML) approaches have been widely attempted recently to overcome these challenges with reasonable success. In this paper, we aim to provide a comprehensive survey of ML enabled localization techniques using most common wireless technologies. First, we provide a brief background on indoor localization techniques. Afterwards, we discuss various ML techniques (supervised and unsupervised) that could alleviate different challenges in indoor localization including Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) issue, device heterogeneity and environmental variations with reasonable complexity. The trade-offs among multitude of issues are discussed using numerous published results. We also discuss how the ML algorithms can be effectively used for fusing different technologies and algorithms to achieve a comprehensive IPS. In essence, this survey will serve as a reference material to acquire a detailed knowledge on recent development of machine learning for accurate indoor positioning.

In vivo near-infrared (NIR) photoacoustic imaging (PAI) studies using novel contrast agents require validation, often via fluorescence imaging. Bioconjugation of NIR dyes to proteins is a versatile platform to obtain contrast agents for specific biomedical applications. Nonfluorescent NIR dyes with higher photostability present advantages for quantitative PAI, compared to most fluorescent NIR dyes. However, they don't provide a fluorescence signal required for fluorescence imaging. Here, we designed a hybrid PA-fluorescent contrast agent by conjugating albumin with a NIR nonfluorescent dye (QC-1) and a visible spectrum fluorescent dye, a BODIPY derivative. The new hybrid tracer QC-1/BSA/BODIPY (QBB) had a low minimum detectable concentration (2.5 mu M), a steep linear range (2.4-54.4 mu M; slope 3.39 E -5), and high photostability. Tracer signal was measured in vivo using PAI to quantify its drainage from eye to the neck and its localization in the neck lymph node was validated with postmortem fluorescence imaging.

All field experiments were conducted by us for three years 2019...2021. Production verification of the results and implementation was carried out in 2020...2021. To establish the influence of technological methods on the productivity of domestic corn hybrids for grain purposes during irrigation in the dry steppe, field experiments were laid to study irrigation and water consumption regimes, the use and effectiveness of calculated doses of mineral fertilizers for a given crop. The following hybrids were selected as research objects: POCC-209 MB and Volga 89 MB (control). The experiments were laid down according to the methodology of the field experience of B.A. Dospekhov and recommendations for conducting field experiments with corn (Falev D.S. et al., 1980). The repeatability of the experiment is fourfold. Plots were arranged sequentially, with systematic placement of options. The method of split plots was used. The total area of the plot is 1120 m2, the account is 250 m2. The mineral fertilizers used in the experiments were calculated taking into account the fertility of chestnut soils and the planned yield of corn grain at the level of 8 and 11 t/ha. According to the fertilized variants N140P107K97, the irrigation regime is 60...70...60% HB, the yield of corn grain is within 8.91...9.84 t/ha. At a dose of N160P156K134, grain yield was slightly higher and amounted to 9.32...12.27 t/ha, depending on the weather conditions of the growing season. Yield under irrigation regime 70...80...70 % The HB on fertilized variants at a dose of N140P107K97 was 9.73...11.85 t/ha, and at a dose of N160P156K134, the yield ranged from 10.49...13'84 t/ha.

Aesthetic attractivity stands as an underestimated yet fundamental feature of species in conservation biology, significantly driving disproportionate protection efforts towards charismatic species. Despite the evidence, few attempts sought to precisely quantify the impact of aesthetic attractivity in defining priority of species for conservation actions (e.g. inclusion in International Union for Conservation of Nature red lists and protection lists). This study protocol describes the setting of an online test (available from April 2022 to April 2023 at www.unveiling.eu) designed to i) quantify the aesthetic attractivity to humans of the 496 European butterfly species and ii) identify which features (both in the perceived animal and in the perceiver) influence the aesthetic attractivity of a given butterfly species. The test is divided in 5 sections (personal data, ranking, single morphological features, emotional engagement, dispositional variables) aimed at profiling the relation each participant has with the species examined. In the long-term, evaluating butterflies' aesthetic attractivity could facilitate the critical assessment of current conservation strategies, such as the process of selection of flag and umbrella species by research institutions, environmental associations and Non Governative Organizations. This is expected to provide the much-needed evidence to set up unbiased biodiversity conservation strategies and counteract the selective anthropogenic pressure which favours the extinction of unattractive species, being no or less protected compared to charismatic species.

From classical to contemporary periods, the teaching and learning of a second language have conscientiously been guided by pedagogical theories, ideologies, methods, rules, and regulations. The Interaction Hypothesis (IH) is one theory that advocates face-to-face contact between the learner and the facilitator. Although some media for physical contact and communication were mentioned in the Interaction Hypothesis, with time and the advent of technology, many better strategies have emerged. Therefore, this paper assesses some traditional and modern pedagogical strategies for oral language development that were not captured in the Interaction Hypothesis. The paper aims to expose second language teachers and learners to some new techniques and guidelines for oral language development and to reinforce the classical techniques cited in earlier research works. Our paper is segmented into four parts – introduction, empirical evidence of IH, pedagogical strategies for stimulating IH in second language classrooms, and conclusion.
