The Combination of Feature Extraction and Classification by Bag of Visual Words to Detect Breast Cancer for Improved Accuracy
Authors: C. Valarmathi
Published: July 2024

The main objective is to improve diagnostic accuracy of the breast cancer. The goal is to improve the accuracy of breast cancer detection by leveraging both the discriminative power of feature extraction and the robustness of classification using BoVW. By combining these techniques, the system aims to effectively distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous tissues in medical images, thereby aiding in early diagnosis and treatment planning for breast cancer patient. The breast cancer sample images were gathered from the city's hospitals Chennai 2023 as well as the mini-MIAS database and DDSM database. The BoVW classifier is used to identify and classify breast tumor images according to their size. This improves the efficacy of the classification method developed for the CAD system's mammography breast cancer picture categorization. Several Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems have been created to use mammography images to identify breast cancer in its early stages. ANN attained 93.6%,94.18%, 93.2% and SVM gained 92%,92.44%,93.02% for Precision, Recall and Accuracy Respectively.The proposed method display excellent accuracy of 98.83% over the other methods. The novelty could stem from the seamless integration of multiple modalities within the feature extraction and classification framework.

Published: July 2024

At the current development stage, the lower airspace above urban areas is only used to a very limited extent. Recent developments in the drone industry are making this area more accessible. The leading use case for drone applications is currently seen in the medical sector. Individual evidence shows that the use of drones to transport medical personnel for first medical response brings significant improvements in terms of cost and response time.  Advantages in urban applications are seen as promising by some research projects, but this is not scientifically proven yet. This study deals with the simulation of transportation times of medical proposals by ambulance and drone in the metropolitan region of Stavanger and the comparison of transport times. The proposed methodology develops transferable results from concrete use-cases. By using a drone 80% of the expected operations can benefit from a reduction in transport time of up to 10 minutes with a variation of +/- 4 minutes through adjusted flight speeds due to weather conditions and variations in ambulance travel times due to different traffic volumes. The data set cleaned for the local special cases shows potential for a reduction of up to 20 minutes for the remaining operations, while the extracted individual cases even showing improvements of up to 60 minutes.
Calibration of Microscopic Traffic Simulation in an Urban Environment Using GPS-Data
Authors: Stang Christopher , Bogenberger Klaus
Published: July 2024

Accurate traffic models are of decisive importance for well-founded traffic engineering and represent the basic framework for comprehensive simulation studies as modelling of traffic demand. Using traffic count and speed measurements of road segments is a common approach for the calibration of a realistic traffic simulation although the data acquisition process can be at very extensive costs. From an academical point of view, there have been many studies addressing the problem of calibration. In this respect, the microscopic simulation software SUMO offers the usage of the tools flowrouter and routesampler for generating network simulations on the base of traffic count measurements. In this paper, we propose a robust method for the calibration of microscopic traffic simulations by using vehicle count and speed measurements from collected GPS-data. The developed approach is a two-step optimization process: The application of integer linear programming (ILP) as a priori optimization is followed by adopting an evolutionary algorithm for minimizing the a posteriori deviation between real and simulated traffic data. As a proof of concept, the proposed method is tested in a subnet-work model of the inner city of Friedrichshafen and compared with the ready-to-use tools from SUMO. The suggested method indicates a promising correlation between simulated and real traffic data showing better calibration results in comparison to the aforementioned functions SUMO provides. Since the approach is network-independent, it also offers the possibility of large-scale traffic calibration.
On Vehicular Data Aggregation in Federated Learning
Authors: Alekszejenkó Levente , Dobrowiecki Tadeusz
Published: July 2024

Vehicular federated learning systems will be beneficial to predicting traffic events in future intelligent cities. However, they might leak private information upon model updates. Hence, an honest but curious server could infer private information, such as the route of a vehicle. In this study, we elaborate on the nature of such privacy leakage caused by gradient sharing. With a simulated scenario, we focus on determining who is in danger of privacy threats and how successful a route inference attack can be.
Results indicate that vanilla federated learning exposes intra-city and commuter traffic to successful location inference attacks. We also found that an adversarial aggregator server successfully infers the moving time of vehicles traveling during low-traffic periods.
Simulating Traffic Networks
Authors: Schaffland Axel , Nelson Jonas , Schöning Julius
Published: July 2024

For driving the roads of cities into enjoyable and relaxing places with parks, trees, and seating, a paradigm change in everyone’s commuter behavior is needed. Still, individual transport via cars increases, and thus, the space required for parking and driving these cars shapes our cities — not the people.  Next to the space needed, vehicles pollute the environment with CO2, diesel particulate, and even electric cars with tire abrasion. Alternative modes of locomotion, like public transportation and shared mobility, are still not attractive to many people. Intelligent intermodal mobility networks can help address these challenges, allowing for efficient use between various transportation modalities. These mobility networks require good databases and simulation combined into digital twins. This paper presents how such a digital twin can be created in the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) software using data from available and future city sensors. The digital twin aims to simulate, analyze, and evaluate the different behaviors and interactions between traffic participants when changing commuting incentives. Using the city of Osnabrück and its different available sensor types, the data availability is compared with other towns to discuss how the data density can be improved. Creating a static network from open street data and intersection side maps provided by the city of Osnabrück shows how these data can be integrated into SUMO for generating traffic flows and routes in SUMO based on a database of historical and live data. Within the conclusion, the paper discusses how developing a digital twin in SUMO from static and dynamic data can be improved in the future and what common misconceptions need to be overcome.
Using SUMO for Test Automation and Demonstration of Digitalized Railway Concepts
Authors: Boockmeyer Arne , Friedenberger Dirk , Pirl Lukas
Published: July 2024

The Train Dispatcher in the Cloud (ZLiC) is a cloud-based approach to digitalize the German Zugleitbetrieb (comparable to American track warrant control). The ZLiC aims to replace the train dispatcher with speech to text, natural-language understanding, a digital occupancy sheet, a prototype interlocking logic, and text to speech. For train conductors, who operate on the trains, the voice-based communication with the train dispatcher remains unchanged. Because the external interfaces of the ZLiC are either voice-based or graphic, understanding and testing the internal components from an integration level is a challenge. To address these challenges, we first injected the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) as a simulation environment. Since the ZLiC has been developed model-based, the integration requires minimal modifications. Afterward, we fetch the operation commands (e.g., registering trains, locating trains, drive requests for trains) between the components and send them to a SUMO instance for analyzing and visualizing the train operations in the railway network. Lastly, we insert additional planned trains to add simulated traffic. The reproducible operations enable test automation of the ZLiC while reusing the sophisticated models in SUMO. This prototype shows that SUMO can support the development of digitalized railway operating procedures.
Documenting the first evidence for pyritized sea scorpion muscles
Authors: Bicknell Russell
Published: July 2024

Pyritization of soft tissues of invertebrates is rare in the fossil record. In New York State, it occurs in black shales of the Lorraine Group (Late Ordovician), the best-known example of which is Beecher’s Trilobite Bed. Exceptional preservation at the quarry where this bed is exposed allowed detailed examination of trilobite and ostracod soft-tissue anatomy. Here, we present the first example of a eurypterid (sea scorpion) currently ascribed to Carcinosomatidae from this deposit that also preserves the first evidence for mesosomal musculature in eurypterids. This specimen demonstrates that eurypterid musculature can be preserved in pyrite and evidences the oldest example of euchelicerate muscles within the fossil record. Sulfur isotope data illustrate that pyrite rapidly replicated muscle tissue in the early burial environment, prior to the pyritization of biomineralised exoskeleton and cuticular trilobite limbs. This discovery therefore expands the limited fossil record of euchelicerate musculature, while extending the taphonomic scope for preservation of detailed internal structures, more broadly, within arthropods.

ENGINEERING-GEOLOGICAL MODELING OF THE SPATIAL HETEROGENEITY OF SOILS
Authors: G. S. Amanova ,   Sergeev Institute of Environmental Geoscience (IEG RAS), E. A. Voznesensky ,   2Sergeev Institute of Environmental Geoscience (IEG RAS)
Published: July 2024

The article discusses the problem of soil properties heterogeneity in the massif and possible ways of estimating the regularities of its manifestation by means of three-dimensional numerical modeling of spatial fields of the studied parameters within the framework of geostatistical approach are considered. The results of such modeling are analyzed on the example of a fairly diverse in composition and structure soil massif. It is demonstrated that the structure of geological parameter fields a) differs for different stratigraphic-genetic complexes of soils and rocks, b) can be simpler than the combination of engineering-geological units, c) the proposed approach is able to identify and explain significant deviations from the normal or lognormal distribution in its upper and lower quartiles, present practically in any geological subdivisions of the section. These outbursts in the maximum and minimum ranges are themselves an additional characteristic of soil heterogeneity; they testify to the non-randomness of such “outbursts”, their typicality, which should be taken into account, but they are usually rejected in standard statistical processing due to the smallness of data samples. Such analysis of heterogeneity allows us to see the general picture of the structure of the massif or its part and can be especially useful in case of mottled structure and frequent alternation of soil varieties, which complicates detailed division of the profile. It also provides additional useful information about the potential for the development of unfavorable geological processes in them, for example, to identify suffusion-unstable sand varieties in the massif profile.
CLAYEY SOILS PROPERTIES ON THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL THEORY OF STRENGTH POSITIONS
Authors: F. S. Karpenko ,   Sergeev Institute of Environmental Geoscience
Published: July 2024

scientific and methodological issues of studying clayey soils and determining their mechanical properties are considered on the standpoint of the physicochemical theory of effective stresses in soils. The modern theoretical base of research assumes estimate only the effect of external loads on the soil and their relationship but does not consider its internal structure. It is shown that the value of the forces of interaction between the particles of clayey soils determines their structure, properties, and character of the deformations under various conditions of external loads. A practical method of clayey soils studying is considered. This methodology makes it possible to determine the value of internal stresses between the mineral particles of the clayey soils

Authors: J.V. Frolova ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University, O.V. Zerkal , I.E. Bolshakov ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

The article discusses the landslides formation in geothermal areas of the Kuril-Kamchatka volcanic arc. The most common are small- to medium-size slides and earthflow; large-scale complex landslides occur much less frequently, but they have the most significant impact on the geological environment. It was concluded that one of the primary factors in the landslides development is hydrothermal alteration of rocks composing the slope massif. Hydrothermal argillization affects the stability of the slope to the greatest extent, since, developing in certain areas of the massif, it causes a decrease in the strength of rocks by 2–3 orders of magnitude

Published: July 2024

English is vital in Ghana because it functions as the country's official language and arguably as the nation's lingua franca. It is also the primary language used for instruction and assessment at all levels of education. In this paper, I reflect on my over ten years of experience teaching English in Ghana. I highlight the marginalization of teachers in discussions about curriculum issues. Further, I present my teaching philosophy regarding reading and writing. I also discussed and reflected on my teaching practices in relation to the selection of texts for my reading and writing class. While discussing my role as a teacher, I also emphasized the role of students in the reading and writing class. This paper highlights the need for teachers to adopt learner-centred teaching approaches.

A Factor Analysis Of Dental Service Satisfaction In India: A Practical Investigation
Authors: Alqafeai Suzana Hasan Ali , John Dr. Sakhi , John Dr. Shibu
Published: July 2024

Background: The main goal of offering high-quality dental treatment is to meet the requirements and expectations of patients, create strong connections between doctors and patients, meet defined criteria, and offer a framework for continuous improvement. Making sure patients are happy has been healthcare facilities' top priority. Examining what factors impact Indian patients' satisfaction with dental care is the aim of this study. Approach and methodology: Participants in this descriptive study were recent dental treatment recipients in the Delhi and National Capital Region areas, drawn from a variety of hospitals and independent clinics. A survey was utilised to gather the data. This survey received responses from 400 people in the Delhi/National Capital Region area. The regression method was employed for the data analysis. Result: Regression analysis showed that every single one of the investigated factors improved patients' overall satisfaction. A number of aspects of dental care service and its effect on consumer satisfaction were the primary foci of the research. The cleanliness of the dental clinic and the dentist's demeanour have the most impact on Indian patients' levels of satisfaction with their dental care. The link between patients' enjoyment and the dentist's conduct is substantial (r = 0.676), while the correlation between overall hygiene and patients' pleasure is moderate (r = 0.574). While there was a weak relationship between patient satisfaction and treatment cost (r = 0.111 for CO) and physical facility quality (r = 0.292 for PF), there was still some relationship. Conclusion: Results show that all of the theories were correct, however the overall strength of the relationship was slightly different, according to the empirical study's conclusion. The results can help healthcare facility and clinic managers prioritise these factors when planning programmes to boost patients' satisfaction. A strong doctor-patient relationship, improved hospital service quality according to patient opinions, and a system of continuous improvement can all be facilitated by the study's several dimensions of quality service.
Vision of Digital Competences of Primary School Students and Teachers in Bulgaria in Educational Documentation of All School Subjects
Authors: Aleksieva Lyubka ,   Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Racheva Veronica
Published: July 2024

The paper presents the second part of a more extensive study on the vision of digital competences of primary school students and teachers in Bulgaria according to the educational documentation. It explores the place and the approaches for developing digital competence in the curricula of all primary school subjects where this competence is integrated as transversal. The necessary competencies for primary school teachers to develop the digital competencies of students are also indicated. The research methods employed in the study are curriculum mapping and comparative analysis of educational documentation. Additionally, more than 70 students’ textbooks and their corresponding methodological guides for primary school teachers are reviewed for further clarification. The results of the study demonstrated a deficient consistency and balance among the curricula regarding the development of digital competence. There seems to be a lack of a shared vision for the digital competencies that students should acquire in primary school, and their development as a separate subject is not aligned with their development in other subjects. Moreover, the results implied a need for conceptualization of the integration of digital competences as transversal in the curricula, referencing appropriately the Digital Competence Framework for Citizens. There is also an emerging necessity to develop specific instructions for teachers on how to integrate the various key competences into the teaching of respective subjects.

Sexism in the City
Authors: Brooks-Gordon Belinda
Published: July 2024

The association between masculinity and business endeavour underpinned the cult of the ‘new entrepreneur’ during the 1980s (Roper, 1994). This study shows how assertions of masculinity by those who work within the City of London’s financial markets, a business environment where this cult remains strong, results in the sexual harassment of women today. Participant observation and in-depth interviews were carried out. ĩt was found that men categorised female traders according to age and perceived sexual availability which subordinates and fragments women within City culture. Further analysis showed the experience of oppression to be dependent on the coping strategies of the women. More importantly, rhetorical analysis of explanations from the corporate hierarchy, who tried to justify the position of the men involved, has since shown that there is little probability of change in this being made from such quarters. The implications of this latitude shown towards male behavioural standards and attitudes by employers greedy for corporate share in City trading exchanges is discussed.
Matters of belonging to place and the nation
Authors: Treacher Amal
Published: July 2024

This article is an exploration of how we become who we are through the senses and by way of places – for as places make sense, senses make place. We attach and belong through internalising place/s and we absorb, love, live in place. Just as the senses blend and merge, we as human beings mingle, unite, come together and fall apart, in places and with nationhood. Belonging and attachment are laden with social discourses, emotions and fantasies. There needs to be an essential recognition of the need to attach and belong otherwise conservative discourses and feelings alongside moribund fantasies are circulated and reinforced. Embedded within recognition is the matter of identification with place, with other human beings and with the nation. There are ethical issues involved – first, the need to inhabit identification with those who are similar and those who are different to the self. Second, a recognition of the murky, if not ugly, aspects of being human, for example, hatred; and third, a recognition that none of us belong straightforwardly and that at some level being in an emotional state of exile is both inherent in being human and necessary for political engagement and as a way to a different future.
On gaining a cultural identity and ‘being white’: Reflexivity and moments of (dis)connection
Authors: Crafter Sarah
Published: July 2024

This article attempts to unpack the difficulties and insecurities that come with a journey of reflexivity in research. These insecurities may be especially discernable when approaching a community which is perceived as being culturally different from our own. This paper details my own journey of cultural ‘discovery’ and reflexivity through an interview with three South Asian female Learning Support Assistants. I will use examples from the interview to explore moments of intersubjective (dis)connection. In particular the interview provides the means to express my own moments of understanding about issues of cultural identity, being a white women and the intersectionality of ethnicity, gender and motherhood.
Mitigating the Impact of Climate Change on Vegetable Farming: An Evaluation of Artificial Planting Technique
Authors: Akangbe Samson Ayorinde , Adeagbo Ayooluwa Peter , Ojetoye Abiodun Ayodeji
Published: July 2024

A worldwide issue, global warming results from human activity changing the climate and having a negative impact on people, animals, and plants. However, in terms of plants, the sun provides the primary elements required for healthy growth of photosynthetic plants, which use the energy from the sun to create food for themselves. Light with varying wavelengths that serve distinct functions during the photosynthetic process are the essential elements that are captured from the sun. The wavelength of the ultraviolet (UV) component of sunlight varies, characterized as UV A (315–400 nm) and UV B (280–315 nm) are the primary components that must be precisely proportioned for a profitable farming. In order to lessen the impact of climate change on vegetable farming, this research suggests integrating light emitting diodes (LEDs) in artificial growing machines as well as planned irrigation systems as an alternate source of ultraviolet sunshine. To provide the necessary UV light combination, blue, red and white colours of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were combined using diffusers. The red, blue, and white LEDs were used for two weeks, each 12 hours a day, to influence the plants growth, with red promoting photosynthesis, white improving it, and blue encouraging stem and leaf growth. An Arduino Uno was used to program both the hardware and software components of the automated growth machine. The outcome of planting varied vegetable plant under LED lights was contrasted with the outcome of planting the identical set of plants under direct sunlight. After the first and second weeks of planting, the plants' performances under both circumstances are comparable.

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) valoriza princípios pedagógicos associados às metodologias ativas, como o protagonismo do aluno, a contextualização dos conteúdos, a interdisciplinaridade e o desenvolvimento de habilidades socioemocionais. Por metodologias ativas, entende-se os métodos, técnicas e estratégias que o professor utiliza para converter o processo de ensino em atividades que incentivem a participação ativa do aluno e levem à aprendizagem. Com base nesse conhecimento, o subprojeto PIBID-Biologia (Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência), trabalhou com diferentes estratégias de metodologias ativas para envolver os alunos do ensino médio. Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar e explorar a eficácia das metodologias ativas no ensino de biologia no contexto do ensino médio. Uma das estratégias foi estruturar uma atividade prática envolvendo cadeias alimentares. Os alunos tiveram a oportunidade de explorar conceitos de forma tangível e visual, entendendo como os organismos se relacionam em diferentes níveis tróficos. Além disso, foi aplicado um jogo de perguntas e respostas, que não apenas desafiou os alunos a testarem seus conhecimentos sobre as teorias evolutivas, mas também promoveu uma interação animada entre eles. Outra estratégia utilizada com base em metodologias ativas foi o experimento sobre fermentação láctica. Para isso foi utilizado leite e iogurte natural para ilustrar o processo de fermentação de maneira prática. Os alunos tiveram a oportunidade de experenciar os conceitos biológicos estudados em sala de aula. O desenvolvimento dessas atividades ressaltou o potencial das metodologias ativas em envolver e motivar os alunos, tornando o aprendizado mais imersivo e duradouro. A conclusão das atividades do PIBID-Biologia deixa a esperança de continuidade de abordagens inovadoras para promover um ambiente de aprendizado estimulante e eficaz.

The growth of the population in Indonesia has an impact on the increasing needs of the community for food and beverages. This condition has led investors to be interested in investing their capital in companies in the food and beverage sector. This research aims to determine the influence of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Earning Per Share (EPS), and Financial Distress on stock prices. The study focuses on manufacturing companies in the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2022. This quantitative research involved a sample of 111 companies selected through purposive sampling. The analysis method used was multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS 26. The partial results indicate that the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) variable has a significant negative impact on the company's stock prices, while the Earning Per Share (EPS) and Financial Distress variables do not have a significant effect on stock prices. Simultaneously, the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Earning Per Share (EPS), and Financial Distress variables in this study collectively influence the stock prices of food and beverage companies.

The agricultural sector plays an important role in national development, especially in agricultural countries such as Indonesia. Langgar Village, Kejobong District, Purbalingga District, is a village with a majority of its inhabitants working as durian farmers. However, they face the challenge of increasing revenue due to high production costs and a lack of infrastructure on the Now Business Road. (JUT). This research aims to understand the implementation of JUT and its impact on the income of durian farmers in Langgar Village. Using a qualitative and quantitative mixing approach (mix method) with purposive sampling, data analysis is carried out through descriptive analysis and paired t-tests. The results show that JUT is well implemented and has a positive impact on the income of durian farmers. The Upland program, which uses a hybrid approach (top-down and bottom-up), is effective in improving communication, resource mobilization, and bureaucratic efficiency. The structured JUT development process and the gotong royong spirit of the community resulted in a solid and beneficial path. The positive impact of JUT development was demonstrated through statistical tests that showed an increase in the income of Montong durian farmers in Langgar Village by 9.11%.

Vehicle tracking is one of computer vision's most important applications, with applications ranging from robotics and traffic monitoring to autonomous vehicle navigation and many more. Even with the significant advancements in recent research, issues like occlusion, fluctuating illumination, and fast motion still need to be addressed, calling for more investigation and creativity in this field. This study performs a thorough examination of various vehicle-tracking approaches and suggests a thorough classification scheme that divides them into four main categories: strategies that rely on features, segmentation, estimate, or learning. Two well-known methods are highlighted specifically in the estimation-based category: particle filters and Kalman filters.

Published: July 2024

A k-arc in a plane PG (2, q) is a set of k point such that every line in the plane intersect it in at most two points and there is a line intersect it in exactly two points. A k-arc is complete if there is no k+1-arc containing it. This thesis is concerned with studies a k-arcs, k=4, 5,…., 10 and classification of protectively distinct k-arcs and distinct arcs under collineation. We prove by using computer program that the only complete k-arcs is for, k= 6, 10.
