Osteoma is a bone neoplasm that can affect dogs of any age, often underdiagnosed due to its low incidence and slow growth. The aim of this study was to discuss a case of craniofacial osteoma in a Shih-Tzu bitch, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment of this condition. In this case, the patient presented with a rigid mass near the left eye, which was evaluated radiographically and diagnosed histopathologically after complete excision of the tumor. No signs of recurrence were observed during follow-up, demonstrating the effectiveness of the surgical treatment. The main findings of the case include an osteoproliferative reaction observed in the radiograph and well-differentiated fibrogranulomatous and osseous proliferation observed in the histopathology. The treatment consisted of complete surgical resection, and no postoperative complications were observed. The patient showed rapid recovery and absence of postoperative pain. It is concluded that osteoma is a benign neoplasm treatable with complete surgical resection, without the need for adjuvant chemotherapy. The study emphasizes the importance of considering osteoma as a differential diagnosis among bone neoplasms in dogs.

Published: September 2024

Retrofitting involves renovating or modernizing buildings or systems by integrating new technologies and concepts to increase property value, change its use, and improve operational and energy efficiency. The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in this process is still an emerging field, facing several challenges. This study aimed to develop a building retrofit using BIM methodologies. A case study of a 2,404.5 m² building in Brasília was carried out, divided into two stages: (1) BIM modeling based on surveys (AS-IS model) and (2) development of a BIM model for retrofitting. The results indicated that BIM facilitated project development, improving collaboration, transparency, and compatibility between architectural and engineering projects. However, challenges such as limited information about the project and difficulties monitoring electrical and plumbing systems were encountered. Although current data are sufficient, additional studies are needed to map building systems, adjust the budget for future retrofit changes, and identify potential research limitations.
Adaptive Model Predictive Control of Yaw Rate and Lateral Acceleration for an Active Steering Vehicle Based on Tire Stiffness Estimation
Authors: Assi Mohammed , Amer Mohammed , Özkan Başar
Published: September 2024

Dynamic systems for vehicles are commonly established based on physical rules that are simplified and are not accurately reflective of their dynamic characteristics under certain operating conditions, affecting their accuracy and safety. This paper presents an adaptive model predictive controller (AMPC) with an estimator that controls the yaw rate and lateral acceleration of a realistic ground vehicle. A number of vehicle parameters are estimated using different advanced estimators, of which recursive least squares is one that is widely used. AMPCs and estimators are used to manage the driving process in order for vehicles to remain stable and controllable. In this research, experiments were conducted on a realistic vehicle based on a nonlinear brush tire model. In this estimator, lateral force measurements are analyzed to estimate the tire cornering stiffnesses that are used in the AMPC from a linear bicycle model (lateral force model), where each parameter describes the nonlinearity of the vehicle model. The results demonstrate that the controlled vehicle's performance is improved by combining a recursive least squares estimator with an AMPC in the simulation process. As tire stiffness estimates become more accurate, AMPC performance improves. Yet, AMPC controllers are described in terms of a table of design parameters. As different steering inputs are applied to different vehicles, the yaw rate and lateral acceleration are varied, while tire stiffness is determined. According to the results of this paper, the proposed method for estimating tire-cornering stiffness exhibits high estimation accuracy, robustness, computational efficiency, stability, comfort, and accuracy and reliability under a variety of steering input maneuvers using an AMPC controller.

Rohingya Muslim Ethnicity: History and Future Dilemma Islam in Myanmar
Authors: Muchsin Misri A. , Armi Fadhlur
Published: September 2024

Islam entered Myanmar in 1055 AD through Arab traders, initially flourishing in Arakan, which became the centre of the Muslim Kingdom for 350 years. After Arakan was conquered by Burma - later Myanmar - the development of Islam slowed down due to political instability and rejection of Islam by Myanmar's military government as well as provocation from the Israeli government. This research uses a qualitative method with Golchock's historical approach and finds that Rohingya Muslims, ethnic Muslims from Arakan, have been abused by the Myanmar government and Theravada Buddhists for the past 20 years. Hostility towards the Rohingya is due to historical resentment over their 350-year rule and claims that they are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The genocide committed by the Myanmar government and Theravada Buddhists since 1982, reaching its peak between 2012-2017, led to a mass exodus of Rohingya to neighbouring countries, especially Bangladesh, where they faced difficult living conditions and chose to leave UNHCR refugee camps. This research highlights the impact of historical conflicts on the Rohingya community, demonstrating the need for a deeper understanding of the political backdrop to address the injustices they experience.

Published: September 2024

A recent surge of intangible investment to navigatethe productive capability of Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) resurrected a range of doubt about the trajectory of choices and the actual managerial space that actualizes these choices. Though spending on intangibles and more particularly on R&D contribute substantially to growth parameters but the ambiguous magnitude of spending patterns and treatment of such expenditure from regular business operation to an investment element, in particular, to enhance the valued capability, yet unresolved in the corporate world. Recent studies on the usefulness of intangibleoutlay and capitalization of the same in improving future returns evidenced a gloomy pattern of crisis in the measurement and allocation of intangibles. As evidenced, most of the spending on intangibles by the business units in India is targeted to secure “patent for profit” rather than to achieve “valued capability” to expand real opportunities to choose between alternatives. Based on the last ten years' dataset of Maharatna Enterprises this study critically examines the contribution of decisive one from the container of four inputs namely spending on software, other R&D expenditure, materials, and employee costs on a set of productive activities covering the revenue and net- value- added, as these are more regular in enhancing both profit and production capability with the help of input-oriented VRS weighted measure-specific DEA model. Results show that the multidimensional performances between the enterprises are not uniform throughout the study period and that the efficiency is highly correlated with the size of a few companies like ONGC, BHEL, and GALE and higher spending DMUs on intangibles do not necessarily have higher-ranked performance in terms of returns and net value added. This study provides valuable insights for managers aiming to maximize the benefit of variety in Software and other R&D spending patterns considering the sizes of the companies while minimizing the risk associated with excessive diversity beyond the moderate threshold in intangible investments.

Authors: SUBAIR Sulaiman Olayinka , IBITOYE Biliyamin Adeoye , KURANGA Abdulrauf Toyin
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Urban traffic congestion significantly impacts economic productivity, environmental health, and residents' quality of life. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of traffic congestion in urban areas, focusing on recent innovations in traffic management, urban planning, public transportation, and technological advancements. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), incorporating real-time data and adaptive signal controls, have proven effective in reducing delays and improving traffic flow. The study underscores the importance of mixed-use urban planning in minimizing travel distances and traffic volumes. Expanding public transportation networks is highlighted as a critical strategy for alleviating congestion, with evidence indicating that cities with extensive transit systems experience lower congestion levels. Additionally, the environmental and health implications of traffic congestion are considered, linking high congestion levels to increased pollution and negative health outcomes. . Road construction as a policy intervention to reduce congestion is debated, with the understanding that road widening may sometimes increase traffic. Evaluating the technologies contributing to congestion is crucial for devising effective solutions. Urban transport is central to economic activity and the well-being of urban residents. The rising population and car ownership rates, coupled with unchanged natural land areas, exacerbate traffic issues, leading to accidents and increased carbon dioxide emissions. The article explores the complexities of urban road traffic, addressing transport infrastructure, organization, and the high share of car traffic. It discusses theoretical and practical aspects of traffic flow and design, as well as the role of driver behavior in traffic jams.

Study on the Translation of Minnan Culture
Authors: Liu Qi
Published: September 2024

As an important part of Chinese culture, the translation of Minnan culture into foreign languages is of great significance for people all over the world to understand China’s traditional culture. Taking the Chinese-English translation of Minnan culture as an example, this paper discusses the problems existing in the foreign translation of Minnan culture and the countermeasures. Bassnett’s cultural translation theory provides theoretical guidance for this paper, emphasizing that translation is not only the transformation of language, but also the transmission and exchange of cultural information. This paper first introduces Bassnett’s cultural translation theory, then analyzes the characteristics of Minnan culture and the challenges it faces in foreign translation, and then puts forward various translation methods of Minnan culture, including transliteration with annotations, literal translation with annotations, free translation with annotations etc. Finally, it looks forward to the development prospect of Minnan culture foreign translation and puts forward suggestions for future research.

Federated learning has been applied in a wide variety of applications, in which clients upload their local updates instead of providing their datasets to jointly train a global model. However, the training process of federated learning is vulnerable to adversarial attacks (e.g., backdoor attack) in presence of malicious clients. Previous works showed that differential privacy (DP) can be used to defend against backdoor attacks, at the cost of vastly losing model utility. In this work, we study two kinds of backdoor attacks and propose a method based on differential privacy, called Clip Norm Decay (CND) to defend against them, which maintains utility when defending against backdoor attacks with DP. CND decreases the clipping threshold of model updates through the whole training process to reduce the injected noise. Empirical results show that CND can substantially enhance the accuracy of the main task. In particular, CND bounds the norm of malicious updates by adaptively setting the appropriate thresholds according to the current model updates. Empirical results show that CND can substantially enhance the accuracy of the main task when defending against backdoor attacks. Moreover, extensive experiments demonstrate that our method performs better defense than the original DP, further reducing the attack success rate, even in a strong assumption of threat model. Additional experiments about property inference attack indicate that CND also maintains utility when defending against privacy attacks and does not weaken the privacy preservation of DP.
A Hill-Climbing Differential Evolutionary Algorithm for solving Multiple Travelling Salesman Problem
Authors: Bian Jinhua , Zhang Xiaoxia
Published: September 2024

The Multiple Travelling Salesman Problem (MTSP) is a basic deformation of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP), which is a typical NP-Hard problem. For combinatorial optimization problems shaped like MTSP, researchers often use intelligent optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms, differential evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing algorithms and other intelligent optimization algorithms to approximate the solution. However, typical intelligent optimization algorithms have the disadvantage of being prone to local convergence and failing to produce theoretically optimal solutions. Based on this, we propose an HCA&DE algorithm that improves the DE algorithm by using the hill-climbing algorithm, and carry out data experiments using the solution set of TSPLIB, which proves the practicality and effectiveness of the algorithm.

Published: September 2024

Background: Despite significant progress in the development of anticancer medications, obstacles such as drug resistance, poor efficacy, and excessive toxicity have significantly impacted the daily lives of cancer patients. Consequently, the search for highly selective, effective, and non-toxic molecules remains a major challenge for cancer researchers. Objective: To utilize a computer program for evaluating new benzothiophene derivatives to investigate how they influence the estrogen-related receptor-gamma (ERRγ) active sites as anticancer agents. Methods: The molecular docking method used the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre's (CCDC) Genetic Optimization for Ligand Docking (GOLD) tool. We used the Desmond modules of the Schrodinger 2023 to perform MDS on the derivative with the highest docking score. The Swiss ADME server then assessed our drugs' pharmacokinetic profile, which included how well they crossed the blood-brain barrier (BBB), bound to P-gp, and were bioavailable. Results: The compounds were docked with the ERRγ crystal structure (2GPV) to assess their binding affinity to active sites. One of them earned a high score (102.62), and six compounds had a higher binding energy than the gold standard medication, tamoxifen. The molecular dynamic simulation analysis found that compound 1 closely matched the ERRγ based on RMSD and RMSF data. After examining the ADME study of practically active substances, they follow Lipinski's laws and other pharmacokinetic features. Conclusions: These chemicals have the potential to act as precursors in the development of new anticancer medicines.
