Audiovisual Congruence and Localization Performance in Virtual Reality: 3D Loudspeaker Model vs. Human Avatar
Authors: Hofmann Anja , Meyer-Kahlen Nils , Schlecht Sebastian J. , Lokki Tapio
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates audiovisual congruence in virtual reality with both horizontal and vertical offsets between audio and visual rendering. Audiovisual congruence and localization errors are assessed using loudspeaker playback and nonindividualized headphone rendering. To account for the influence of different types of visual information on congruence, presentations of a loudspeaker model and 3D human avatar were compared. Therefore, a new dataset of audiovisual speech was recorded. Results show that human avatar rendering increases perceived congruence, and experienced listeners have an increased tendency to respond with “incongruent” when a loudspeaker model is shown but not when the human avatar is presented. Moreover, a correlation is found between localization precision and audiovisual congruence for horizontally offset stimuli and avatar presentation. For vertical offsets, the angular range of congruence is generally large, and localization errors are high, so no correlation can be observed between the two. The paper contributes congruence ranges for audiovisual speech in virtual reality, which also has implications for augmented reality telepresence use.

Published: October 2024

Radiomics is a new branch in diagnostics based on a quantitative approach to medical imaging able to ensure more efficient use of medical equipment, optimize imaging time per patient, and increase the accuracy of differential diagnostics in various areas of medicine. Radiogenomics is a branch of radionics intended to establish a connection between the patient’s genotype and phenotypic presentation obtained from medical imaging. The review dwells on general issues for radiomics and radiogenomics in oncology with the recent study findings, focusing on the role of these methods in neurooncology and solving problems in diagnosing brain tumors. One of the current topics in neurooncology is disease prognosis in patients with unverified midline gliomas because morphological confirmation of the diagnosis and molecular genetic testing of tissues is impossible. Besides, the high spatial and temporal heterogeneity of malignant neoplasms prevents a complete assessment of the biological properties of the tumor and even using stereotactic biopsy methods. Radiomics methods can help doctors differentiate the tumor grade, acting as a “virtual biopsy” while avoiding invasive procedures. The study findings on radiomics and radiogenomics in neurooncology indicate the undeniable promise of these methods; however, as in other areas of medicine and biology, errors cannot be completely excluded, so the expert team must aim to minimize them.

Published: October 2024

Here, we present the results of applying diverse data processing and machine learning tools to investigate a very large dataset obtained from single station infrasonic recordings from the last 10 yr of the most recent period of explosive activity at Tungurahua volcano, Ecuador. To increase the quality and quantity of information extracted from the large data set and enhance pattern recognition, we combined traditional techniques with more recent ones. We divided the investigation into sequential steps: detection, discrimination, cleaning, and clustering. For the detection step, we tested the classical short-term average/long-term average algorithm and an algorithm specific for explosions detection called “Volcanic INfrasound Explosions Detector Algorithm (VINEDA)” and detected 118,516 events. To clean the detected signals from potential false positives, we used supervised classification that reduced the events to 75,483, and a catalog cleaning procedure using shallow learners including support vector machines, random forests, and a single layer neural network, trained using data from a manual catalog, to a final number of 36,359 events. This led to a sixfold increase in detected explosions compared to the manual catalog. Then, we applied hierarchical clustering to a well-studied time window of activity using two independent difference metrics: dynamic time warping and waveform cross correlation and showed the insights and drawbacks from this approach. We showed that the different techniques were able to reveal repeating and striving events between selected different eruptive phases and associated them to possible changes in eruptive dynamics. Finally, to analyze the whole dataset at once we used a convolutional autoencoder network and obtained similar results to the classical clustering in a fraction of the time. We identified different families of explosions that appeared, sometimes intermittently, and revealed various potentially competing eruptive processes during the whole time period.

Generative AI has been expanding at an exponential rate since its widespread emergence in late 2022, yet limited research has explored its adoption or use among higher education faculty. Guided by the Diffusion of Innovations theory, this quantitative survey research study investigated higher education faculty's perceptions, adoption, and use of generative AI, particularly in the context of their course design and delivery. The study also explored how generative AI has been leveraged by faculty to create more effective and engaging learning environments that align with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and learning sciences research. Additionally, it assessed whether faculty perceptions, professional backgrounds, or demographic factors predicted their adoption or use of generative AI in alignment with UDL. Between mid-March and early April 2024, 214 higher education faculty members from diverse demographic and professional backgrounds participated in the study by completing an online questionnaire. Descriptive statistics revealed that 86% of participants had adopted generative AI in their work, and perceptions about the innovation differed between adopters and nonadopters. Participants reported using the technology for a variety of general and UDL-aligned purposes. Nested logistic regression analysis identified relative advantage and professional development on generative AI as significant predictors of adoption. Chi-square tests of independence revealed that men, tenured/tenure-track faculty, and those with moderate to significant knowledge of the learning sciences or generative AI were significantly more likely to adopt the technology. Furthermore, nested multiple linear regression models found professional development on generative AI and several perceived attributes of the innovation to be significant predictors of UDL-aligned use. Based on the findings and limitations, recommendations for future research were offered.
Empowering Authenticity

This case study discusses the role of women in leadership and creative control in the entertainment industry, specifically for women who identify as LGBTQIA. The research primarily sets out to discuss the current landscape of media production, looking into opportunities and challenges that women encounter when leading through complicated dynamics of creative expression, leading roles, and investment in the industry. The study evidences a changing but still very repressive model of inclusion, particularly in the ability of women to access leadership positions and to find support for their projects. Drawing on in-depth interviews with women in various roles across the entertainment industry, this qualitative study shows evidence that systemic barriers are still prevalent. According to the findings, while there has been amelioration toward more inclusive portrayals in the media, considerable limitations remain. For example, women and people of color, especially those in the LGBTQIA community, are almost always expected to write their own stories. They have very little chance for creative growth outside of personal narratives. In many instances, these women are expected to meet more exceptional standards than their male competition: the common motif is that they must be twice as qualified to afford the same amount of success. The case study also underlines enormous gaps in both the post-production and distribution stages, where women lose control over how the work is managed, even in the position of creative leadership. This lack of control usually bars them from ensuring that the end product reflects their vision and reaches their target audience. Regarding LGBTQIA representation, the research found an increase in LGBTQIA characters and stories. However, characters and storylines still primarily remain focused on gay white men, leaving other members who have different experiences and cultural backgrounds within that community underrepresented. This research adds to a growing body of work about gender and LGBTQIA representation on television and in film by outlining these continued disparities. In so doing, it calls for increased industry efforts to support women and LGBTQIA creators in bringing their original stories to life and having them marketed, distributed, and received by a broader audience. The findings reiterate the need for further investment in original narratives from various diverse, underrepresented communities and a more comprehensive approach to inclusivity that will not be based on tokenism but instead promote a fuller spectrum of diverse experiences within the media.
Designing Computerized Support for Identifying and Treating Patients with Life-Threatening Injuries During Medical Emergencies
Authors:   , Mastrianni Angela Xaviera , Sarcevic Aleksandra
Published: October 2024

During medical emergencies, clinical teams evaluate and treat patients with life-threatening injuries. Clinical decision-support systems (CDSSs) can assist clinicians in evaluating and treating patients, helping to avoid misdiagnoses, delays, and errors. However, human-computer interaction issues, such as data entry barriers and poor workflow integration, often limit adoption of these systems. While advances in artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the accuracy of CDSSs, integrating AI within these systems can lead to additional HCI challenges. This dissertation focuses on developing computerized support for identifying and treating patients with severe blood loss or traumatic brain injury, two of the most frequent causes of preventable deaths during trauma resuscitation. The research has two aims: (1) design features to capture the data needed for identifying patients with severe blood loss or traumatic brain injury and (2) present decision support to the medical team. For the first aim, we developed features on a digital checklist to obtain the patient context information needed to identify patients at risk for severe blood loss or traumatic brain injury. We also designed and evaluated alerts to prompt timely documentation of critical information and examined automatic approaches to capturing data. For the second aim, we investigated different strategies for communicating information during time-critical medical events to support decision-making. We also examined collaboration, agency, and decision-making within teams responding to medical emergencies and the implications for designing CDSSs used by these teams.

Published: October 2024

The addition of golden banana puree (Musa acuminata) as a prebiotic has been hypothesized to enhance the growth of lactic acid bacteria in kefir. This study aimed to determine the effects of adding golden banana puree on the pH value, total lactic acid bacteria (LAB) count, and viscosity of kefir. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications. The treatments included the addition of 0% (P0), 6% (P1), 8% (P2), and 10% (P3) banana puree. The observed variables were pH value, total LAB, and viscosity. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) when a significant treatment effect was detected. The results indicated that the addition of golden banana puree had a very significant effect (P0.01) on the pH value, total LAB count, and viscosity of kefir. The study concluded that increasing the concentration of golden banana puree leads to a higher total LAB count and viscosity, while inversely lowering the pH value.

Published: October 2024

Eugenol, derived from clove leaf essential oil, possesses antibiotic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of eugenol as a feed additive on carcass percentage and carcass components in broiler chickens. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used, with four treatments and five replications. Two hundred 1-week-old chicks with an average initial body weight of 142.25±7.75 g were allocated into 20 cage plots. The treatments were: E0 (Basal ration), E1 (Basal ration + 0.5% eugenol), E2 (Basal ration + 1.0% eugenol), and E3 (Basal ration + 1.5% eugenol). Carcass percentage and carcass component percentages were measured. Analysis of variance revealed a highly significant effect (P0.01) on carcass percentage and upper thigh percentage; a significant effect (P0.05) on the percentage of breast, wings, and back; and no significant effect (P0.05) on the percentage of the lower thigh. The 1% eugenol treatment achieved the highest carcass percentage (77.75±1.04%), breast percentage (39.02±0.61%), and upper thigh percentage (17.80±0.09%) compared to other treatments.

Published: October 2024

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between chest girth, body length, and sex with body weight and average daily gain (ADG) in Batur lambs. The study sample consisted of 12 male and 8 female Batur lambs, aged 5 to 12 months, with an average body weight of 23.97 kg. Data were collected through a survey study using a random sampling method. The variables measured included chest girth, body length, sex, body weight, and ADG. The results demonstrated that: (1) the regression equation for chest girth on body weight was Y= -50.47 + 1.02CG (r = 0.91, R2 = 0.82); (2) the regression equation for body length on body weight was Y= -64.19 + 1.58BL (r = 0.88, R2 = 0.78); (3) the multiple regression equation for chest girth and body length on body weight was Y = -62.08 + 0.65CG + 0.69BL (r = 0.93, R2 = 0.85). These results indicate a very strong positive correlation between chest girth, body length, and body weight, suggesting that body weight in Batur lambs can be accurately predicted using these variables. However, ADG was not significantly correlated with chest girth or body length due to a low coefficient of determination.

Published: October 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of supplementing broiler diets with andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC) on the fat, cholesterol, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in broiler meat. The experiment utilized 200 day-old chicks (DOC) of the CP 707 strain, which were fed experimental diets starting at 15 days of age. The average initial body weight was 465±1.50 g per bird, and the birds were reared until 35 days of age. The research design followed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five dietary treatments and four replications per treatment, each containing 10 broilers. The dietary treatments included a basal diet (R1= 0% andaliman) and diets supplemented with 0.25% (R2), 0.5% (R3), 0.75% (R4), and 1% (R5) andaliman. The variables measured were meat fat content, cholesterol content, and MDA levels. The results indicated that andaliman supplementation had no significant effect (P0.05) on the fat, cholesterol, or MDA content of broiler meat. The observed ranges were 140.61–161.61 mg/100 g for fat content, 140.61–161.61 mg/100 g for cholesterol content, and 8.11–8.56 µg/g for MDA levels. In conclusion, the addition of andaliman to broiler diets did not significantly influence the fat, cholesterol, or MDA content in the meat.

Published: October 2024

Reproductive technologies have the potential to enhance livestock productivity, with superovulation being one such method aimed at increasing the number of ovulated oocytes per estrous cycle through hormonal stimulation. This study aimed to evaluate the reproductive performance of three cattle breeds—Ongole Grade (OG) (n=20), Simmental (n=18), and Limousin (n=20)—subjected to superovulation treatment. The cattle, aged 2.5 to 4 years with a body condition score of 3.5 to 4, were intensively managed. Superovulation was induced using CIDR (Controlled Internal Drug Release) for synchronization, followed by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) administration. Reproductive performance data, including age at first estrus, number of corpora lutea (CL), and embryo production, were collected over three estrous cycles. A quasi-experimental design was employed with breed as the primary treatment factor, and data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicated that breed had a significant effect (P0.05) on the age of first estrus, with OG cattle reaching first estrus at 621.3±93.3 days, Simmental at 522.4±75.5 days, and Limousin at 570.4±88.1 days. However, no significant differences (P0.05) were observed among the breeds in terms of the number of CL, collected embryos, or transferable embryos across the superovulation cycles.

Authors: Nagdev Ritu , Khan Shakeel Ahmad , Dhupper Renu
Published: October 2024

Chemical fertilizers have been extensively used for growing crops and controlling plant diseases, but they pose potential hazards to the environment, soil health, plants, and people. The current world situation highlights the need to implement eco-friendly agricultural practices for sustainable crop production. Using environmentally friendly manure, such as biogas slurry, can help reduce the negative effects of chemical fertilizers. Biogas slurry is an efficient waste material and organic fertilizer, making it an ideal supplement for sustainable crop production and waste management. An experiment was conducted at IARI, New Delhi, to explore the nutrient potential of biogas slurry. The main objective of this study was to assess biogas slurry's physico-chemical characteristics and nutrient contents. Samples of biogas slurry were collected in three replications and analyzed using standard methods for macro and micronutrients. The data revealed that biogas slurry has a pH of 7.2-8.5, EC of 1.06 to 1.12 dS/m, and organic carbon content of 41.7 to 45.8%. In terms of fertility, it contains significant amounts of nitrogen (1.98-2.17%), phosphorus (0.97 to 1.15%), and potassium (1.98 to 2.17%). Additionally, biogas slurry contains micronutrients such as Zn (0.023-0.027 ppm), Cu (0.005-0.009 ppm), Fe (0.32-0.38 ppm), and Mn (0.089-0.094 ppm). Statistical analysis using ANOVA and Post Hoc tests indicated that the mean data values among all three replications do not differ significantly. Therefore, it can be concluded that the nutritive value of biogas slurry is sufficient to reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizers in agriculture. It represents an optimal long-term organic remedy for developing fertile soil, ensuring enduring agricultural productivity, and mitigating the negative environmental impacts associated with waste management.

Modern approaches to compression and noise resistant encoding of photo and video information in radio channels of complexes with unmanned aerial vehicle
Authors: Pantenkov D.G.
Published: October 2024

Modern complexes with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of long flight duration (heavy class) are in practice equipped with a wide range of target loads, which leads to the need to transmit a large amount of useful information in real time with the required quality to a remote ground control station (GCS). The large volume of transmitted information imposes serious technical requirements on the capacity of communication channels, which, on the one hand, when designing communication systems within UAVs, is ensured by the use of directional antenna systems, multi-position signal-code structures, noise-resistant coding, high energy in the communication channel, etc. On the other hand, developers simultaneously solve the problem of minimizing the amount of information from target loads supplied to the input of the communication system while maintaining the required quality after compression. This article discusses the main information compression standards used by CUAVs developers, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as video codecs based on three-dimensional orthogonal transformations.

Published: October 2024

Safety is ensured, including the safe landing of the aircraft. A short landing run without a skid is achieved by the necessary preparation of the runway, a serviceable braking system, anti-skid automation and take-off and landing devices of the aircraft. Standard operation of anti-skid automatics should be able to cope with constant non-linearity of movement and atmospheric interference on the surface of the runway, as well as adjust the wheel slip coefficient to ensure reliable operation of the braking system. The need to develop technical solutions in the field of expanding the operational capabilities of diagnostic tools for anti-youth automation of the aircraft braking system is determined by regular aviation incidents, related to failures of anti-skid devices, including their incorrect setting before installation on the aircraft landing gear wheel, which leads to serious consequences – increased wear of the wheel tire surface and its possible destruction, including an emergency landing due to loss of control over the aircraft. The purpose of the work is to simulate the youth situation of the aircraft during landing, to study the problem, to increase the efficiency, reliability of the results of diagnosing devices and automata of the aircraft braking system. This article discusses the main external and operational factors affecting the dynamics and nature of the aircraft's run along the runway, the model of aircraft movement with the influence of aerodynamic forces on it, the model of tire friction on the ground, and also proposes a method for diagnosing anti-youth automation of the aircraft braking system.

Upper extremity trauma is very common in emergency services. These are complex injuries that represent a challenge for the surgeon and require management by a multidisciplinary team. We report a case of a 48-year-old male who suffered a fall from his own height causing a laceration in the distal region of the forearm. Physical examination revealed active bleeding through the wound, and absence of strength and sensation. Applying standardized management for trauma patients is essential, ensuring that first aid is administered according to established protocols. Hemostasis could be achieved with different procedures; however, surgical hemostasis can provide immediate control of bleeding. It is vital to establish a protocol that effectively identifies patients who will benefit from a recovery process. Providing an effective strategy for managing upper extremity trauma is crucial. Early detection and treatment are important in preventing the condition from worsening, while ensuring the extremity functions as effectively as possible.

Physiotherapy is widely recognized for its role in rehabilitating musculoskeletal and chronic conditions through physical interventions. However, emerging evidence highlights the importance of lifestyle modifications, particularly dietary changes and psychological support, in enhancing treatment outcomes. This review evaluates the influence of such modifications on the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions. By synthesizing literature on the integration of nutritional strategies, such as increased intake of anti-inflammatory nutrients, and psychological interventions like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, the study examines their impact on recovery rates, pain levels, and overall treatment success. Results indicate that dietary changes, including omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation, while psychological support improves pain management, patient adherence, and functional recovery. The findings suggest that a holistic approach, incorporating both dietary and psychological elements into physiotherapy, can optimize patient outcomes. Future research should focus on standardized protocols to integrate these lifestyle factors with physiotherapy for sustained rehabilitation success.

: Barnyard millet is well-known for its abundant nutrients and adaptability, making it a promising candidate for product innovation, especially by exploring new processing methods like germination to boost its nutritional value and effectiveness. It is vital to examine both the physico-functional and nutrient characteristics of barnyard millet in order to fully harness their nutritional advantages in product development. Understanding factors such as grain size and properties like water and oil absorption capacity is crucial for creating inventive, nutritionally enriched foods that can meet a variety of dietary requirements and gain wider market acceptance.

: This scientific approach fosters the effects of germination on the physico-functional and nutritional properties of Barnyard millet.

: Barnyard millet was collected and soaked for 12 hours and germinated in different time intervals, then dehydrated at 110°C for 4 hours. Physical properties such as kernel size and volume were analysed. Functional properties, including oil and water absorption capacity, water solubility and nutritional analysis were conducted.

The study revealed that as the germination time increased, the length-width ratio increased, accompanied by a slight increase in 1000 kernel weight, volume and decrease in bulk density of germinated millet. Furthermore, functional properties such as oil absorption capacity, water absorption capacity and water solubility index increased with germination time, contributing to improved texture. There was increase in protein and fiber, slight decrease in fat content. The mineral content was increased upon germination.

The obtained results indicated slight variations in the physical and functional and nutritional characteristics of barnyard millet and its flour upon germination.
