Facial Tracking, Recognition, And Utilizing Gaussian Blur In Face Recognition Sytems Via The OpenCv Library
Authors: Necipsoy Muhammed Emin , Ergüzen Atilla
Published: December 2024

Face recognition technology attracts great attention in many technological areas. The development of face recognition algorithms has made significant contributions to the elimination of deficiencies in the field of image processing. Especially image processing libraries such as OpenCV provide a reliable and regularly updated platform for researchers and developers. OpenCv, which includes face recognition algorithms, is an image processing library that facilitates image processing. Some people may not want their faces to be seen in videos, movies or live broadcasts, and objectionable images and harmful products such as cigarettes and alcohol may need to be censored. In this case, the Gaussian filter comes to our rescue. The Gaussian filter is a filter widely used in image processing techniques and known for its blurring feature. The Gaussian filter is also called blurring in image processing software. The Python language is a programming language that can work independently of the platform. The Python language contains many libraries and is easy to program. The OpenCv library, like many other libraries, has generally been used with the Python language because it works very well with the Python language and is easily programmed. Many projects developed with Python language and OpenCv can be seen in academic sources. The aim of this study is to perform face recognition using OpenCV library and automatically apply Gaussian filter to recognized faces. All existing software does not automatically blur the desired faces. Doing this process manually is both time-consuming and jeopardizes the protection of privacy due to the unnoticed parts of the manual application process. Possible users of this project include televisions, production companies, broadcasters and YouTubers. This project can contribute to more effective protection of privacy and save time. This article can provide a method for researchers, industry experts and academics.

Published: December 2024

This study evaluates the performance of four deep learning models, namely GoogLeNet (InceptionV3), ResNet-18, ResNet-50, and ResNet-101, in classifying Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images. Images were pre-processed by resizing them to 224x224 pixels and normalizing the pixel values. The models were fine-tuned using pre-trained weights from ImageNet dataset and trained for 10 iterations using categorical_crossentropy loss function and Adam optimizer. Performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and F1 score were calculated for each model. The results show that ResNet-101 outperforms other models with 96.69% accuracy, 96.85% sensitivity, and 98.90% specificity. ResNet-50 also showed high performance, while ResNet-18 showed the lowest performance with 33.99% accuracy. GoogLeNet achieved moderate results with 72.21% accuracy. ROC curves and confusion matrices are used to visualize the classification performance. ResNet-101 and ResNet-50 show superior performance in all classes, while ResNet-18 and GoogLeNet have higher misclassification rates. This study highlights the importance of model depth and residual connections in improving the classification performance of OCT images. The findings show that deeper models such as ResNet-50 and ResNet-101 are more effective in capturing complex features, leading to better classification accuracy.

O ensino voltado para Educação Ambiental (EA) e Sustentabilidade contribui positivamente para a formação de pessoas conscientes e comprometidas com a construção de uma sociedade sustentável. Esse trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de identificar e analisar as percepções sobre EA e Sustentabilidade dos alunos do 9º ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola da rede pública municipal, localizada na cidade de Girau do Ponciano, Alagoas. A metodologia utilizada foi qualitativa e quantitativa, e envolveu 32 estudantes, desses, 65,6% eram do sexo feminino, enquanto os demais (34,4%) eram do sexo masculino. Para captar a percepção prévia dos alunos sobre o tema foi aplicado um questionário inicial, seguido de uma intervenção expositiva didático-pedagógica, posteriormente, foi aplicado um outro questionário para verificar os impactos da metodologia utilizada. Os resultados demonstram que apesar dos alunos (65,6%) afirmarem que em sua escola são abordadas questões sobre EA e sustentabilidade, não existe nenhum projeto voltado para esses temas, conforme a afirmação de 90,6% dos alunos. Os discentes consideram os temas sustentabilidade e EA importantes e grande parte pratica hábitos sustentáveis no seu dia a dia, porém, a maioria destes não tinha conhecimento do princípio dos 5 R's. Portanto, é notório que a abordagem dos temas sustentabilidade e EA deve ser mais contextualizada no ambiente escolar para contribuir positivamente com a obtenção de conhecimentos desses alunos, auxiliando também na promoção da conscientização e no desenvolvimento de habilidades para lidar com os desafios ambientais.

Published: December 2024

Obezite artan prevalansı ile dünyada yaygın bir halk sağlığı problemi haline gelmiştir. Obezite prevalansının düşürülmesine yönelik tedavi stratejilerine artan bir ilgi vardır. Asprosin esas olarak beyaz adipoz dokuda üretilip salgılanan ve iştahı uyaran bir hormonal adipokin türüdür. Obezitede adipokinlerin üretim ve salınım profilinde dengesizlikler söz konusu olabilir. Adipoz dokudan artmış asprosin ekspresyonunun obezite için bağımsız bir risk faktörü olduğu belirtilmektedir. Artmış asprosin ekspresyonu aynı zamanda endoplazmik retikulum stres, inflamasyon ve insülin direnci ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Asprosin üretimi ve salınımı, beslenme durumuyla koordineli olarak sirkadiyen ritmiklik gösterir. Beslenme ve diyet müdahalelerinin asprosin düzeyine etkisine ilişkin klinik çalışmalar yetersizdir. Bu derleme makalede bazı besin ögelerinin asprosin düzeyleri ile ilişkisi incelenecektir.

As Nigeria increasingly seeks to achieve sustainable development which is key in 21st century, there is now a pressing re-thinking of how its educational systems can better prepare graduates who are well-equipped to contribute meaningfully to national development and become employable, employers of labour and self-reliant. Hence, this study investigated and explored how problem-solving methodology affects creative thinking skills for employability and self-reliance among undergraduate students in public universities in North-central Nigeria. Three objectives and three null hypotheses guided the study. A descriptive survey and correlational research designs were employed for the study. The population of the study consisted of all (229, 365) undergraduate students in public universities in North-central Nigeria, while the sample size was made up of 364 respondents from the population of the study. A researcher structured questionnaire validated by experts in the university of Abuja was the main instrument employed for data collection. Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analysis were the inferential statistics employed for the hypotheses. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between problem-solving method and creative thinking skills (r = 0.280, p < .001), while other results further indicated positive significant effect of problem-solving method on employability among students with unstandardized coefficient (B = 0.214, p<.001), and positive significant effect of problem-solving method on self-reliance among undergraduate students in public universities in North-Central Nigeria with unstandardized coefficient (B = 0.285, p<.001). Although the modest R² values suggest that other additional factors could influence these outcomes. The study recommended amongst others, the need to incorporate problem-solving and creative programmes in the context of students’ learning to enhance their readiness to manage challenges in the existing and future labour market. Rethinking education to emphasize problem-solving and creative thinking skills and ability is essential for preparing students for the complexities of the rapidly changing world where adaptability, innovation, and independence are key.

Published: December 2024

In today's conditions, when the war with the Russian Federation continues, the problem of socio-psychological rehabilitation of military personnel who have been in military conflicts, which includes assessing the likelihood of preserving their health and working capacity after exposure to extreme factors, is becoming especially relevant today. The purpose of the article is to systematize and generalize the main approaches and types of rehabilitation of military personnel participating in hostilities.

In the scientific survey, the authors highlighted the problem of rehabilitation of military personnel who participated in hostilities. Various scientific approaches to determining the components (types) of rehabilitation of military personnel participating in hostilities have been systematized and analyzed. It has been established that the rehabilitation of military personnel participating in hostilities involves the presence of four main components (types) - psychological, social, pedagogical, and medical A scheme of types of rehabilitation of military personnel as part of comprehensive rehabilitation has been developed. The essence of each type of rehabilitation is characterized. The emphasis is on the fact that all types of rehabilitation activities with military personnel participating in hostilities are quite important, but only all of them in combination can ensure the effectiveness of the rehabilitation system as a whole.

Therefore, in this regard, there was a need to develop a proposal for the formation of a state policy for the rehabilitation of military personnel who participated in hostilities, both on the basis of medical and rehabilitation institutions and outside them, applying positive factors of the functioning of civil society, such as the involvement of social workers, practical psychologists, heads of public organizations and volunteers who work in military units and hospitals for war veterans.
MODEL OF STEAM-ORIENTED TRAINING OF FUTURE MUSIC TEACHERS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR INFORMATION AND DIGITAL CULTURE
Authors: Di Liu
Published: December 2024

In the context of STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics), the problem of training music teachers lies in the need to integrate the art of music with other disciplines. This requires music teachers to have professional knowledge and skills in the field of music and understand technology, engineering solutions, and scientific approaches. The training of such teachers should consider the ability to use modern technological tools, interdisciplinary teaching methods, and integration of music into the overall STEAM context. Developing teachers' critical thinking and skills to create innovative curricula is also essential. Therefore, the article aims to model and substantiate a model for the development of information and digital culture of music teachers in the context of STEAM-oriented professional training. We used the modeling method, based on which we developed and justified the corresponding model. The model consists of target, theoretical-methodological, substantive, and criterion and result blocks. The model is based on several methodological approaches (systemic, informational, digital, and cultural), provides for the observance of didactic principles in education (the principle of individualization of learning, interdisciplinary integration, creativity, the use of digital technologies), is implemented through the modernization of the content of the training (special course "Information and Digital Culture of Musicians and STEAM Education"), the use of forms (lectures, practical classes and work in pairs), methods (project, research, modeling, brainstorming, method of professional-problem reflection) and means (digital resources and STEAM projects) of training and, thanks to the developed diagnostic apparatus (criteria, indicators and levels), makes it possible to track the result – the development of the Information and Digital Culture of future music teachers.
