The burden of anthropogenic changes and mutation load in a critically endangered harrier from the Reunion biodiversity hotspot, Circus maillardi.
Authors: Bourgeois Yann , Warren Ben , Augiron Steve
Published: August 2022

Anthropogenic impact and loss of genetic diversity threaten more than
50% of raptors. These threats are particularly pronounced for island-
endemic species, which occupy small areas, making them more vulnerable
to rapid environmental changes. The Reunion harrier (Circus maillardi)
is a typical example of the challenges encountered by island- endemic
species. In this study, we characterize genetic variation at
near-neutral and coding loci to test the historical impact of human
activity on harrier populations, and evaluate their (mal)adaptive
potential. We observed low but significant genetic differentiation
between populations on the West and North-East sides of the island,
echoing observations in other endemic species. Inbreeding was
significant, with a substantial fraction of samples being first or
second-degree relatives. Historical effective population sizes have
declined from ~3000 to 300 individuals in the past 1000
years, with a more recent drop ~100 years ago consistent
with human activity. Based on our simulations and comparisons with a
close relative (Circus melanoleucos), this demographic history may have
allowed purging of the most deleterious variants, but is unlikely to
have allowed the purging of mildly deleterious variants. Our study
provides an example of the massive impact that human activity may have
on the genetic diversity and adaptive potential of island populations,
and calls for urgent action to closely monitor the reproductive success
of such endemic populations, in association with genetic studies.
Oro nero :un rischio per l'uomo e l'ambiente. Trattamento di elettrocoagulazione/flocculazione per la rimozione degli oli.
Authors: Palmiero Maria Francesca
Published: August 2022

Le acque reflue derivanti da giacimenti petroliferi rappresentano un
serio rischio per l’ambiente e la salute umana. E’ necessario, dunque, 
sottoporle ad un trattamento, come il trattamento biologico,
flottazione, adsorbimento, MBR. Recenti studi si stanno incentrando sul
trattamento elettrochimico in quanto presenta numerosi vantaggi:
minimizzazione dei rifiuti, facilità di applicazione, riduzione dei
consumi energetici, maggiore economicità. In particolare, il presente
lavoro analizza come una diversa configurazione di elettrodi possa
condizionare il processo di rimozione dei contaminanti da tali acque
reflue. Le configurazioni realizzate sono anodo-catodo-anodo-catodo
(ACAC), anodo-catodo-catodo-anodo (ACCA) e catodo-anodo-anodo-catodo
(CAAC). Gli esperimenti sono stati condotti per le tre diverse
configurazioni variando il pH, la densità di corrente e il tempo di
trattamento. È risultato che la configurazione ACAC con CD=100
A/m, ph=7 e tempo di trattamento 90 min ha la
migliore efficienza, pari all’82%.
Tecnologie innovative per la rimozione dei contaminanti emergenti dalle acque reflue
Authors: Cairone Stefano
Published: August 2022

La presenza di contaminanti emergenti (ECs) nell’ambiente rappresenta un
aspetto critico a causa dei potenziali impatti negativi che questi
contaminanti possono causare minacciando la qualità degli ecosistemi e
la salute umana. Sebbene siano presenti a bassi livelli di
concentrazione nell’ambiente, gli ECs sollevano grande preoccupazione a
causa dei potenziali effetti tossicologici sugli organismi viventi,
della capacità di favorire il fenomeno dell’antibiotico resistenza e
della scarsa biodegradabilità che ne comporta l’accumulo nell’ambiente
con conseguente possibilità di arrivare all’uomo tramite la catena
alimentare. Gli impianti di trattamento delle acque reflue (WWTP)
rappresentano una possibile fonte di diffusione di ECs nell’ambiente
poiché i convenzionali processi di trattamento non ne garantiscono una
rimozione efficiente. Di conseguenza, l’integrazione di processi di
trattamento avanzata nei WWTP risulta essenziale per rimuovere i
contaminanti emergenti prima dello scarico o del riutilizzo
dell’effluente trattato. Il processo USAMe® e l’integrazione di processi
elettrochimici in sistemi di filtrazione (e-MBR, e-SFDMBR) sono esempi
di tecnologie innovative per la rimozione di contaminanti emergenti
dalle acque reflue.
Analisi dell'influenza della tipologia di sorgente luminosa sulle performance di processo di un foto-bioreattore algale
Authors: Martino Catello Di
Published: August 2022

Le recenti emissioni dei gas climalteranti in atmosfera, causa
dell’attività antropica, rappresentano la prima causa del riscaldamento
globale. Uno dei principali gas serra (GHG) è l’anidride carbonica
(CO2), la quale viene prodotta principalmente dai processi di
combustione dei combustibili fossili . Risulta indispensabile, dunque,
definire nuove soluzioni per la riduzione dei livelli di gas
climalteranti in atmosfera.

Si necessita di soluzioni innovative in grado di rispondere alla
richiesta di tecnologie green per la riduzione delle emissioni di gas
climalteranti in atmosfera, secondo un metodo di cattura e riutilizzo
della CO2 denominato Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU). In
particolare, l’attività condotta ha consentito di analizzare ed
ottimizzare le prestazioni di un innovativo bioreattore algale (SEED
mPBR), brevettato dal gruppo di ricerca del SEED, studiando e
confrontando due sistemi di illuminazione. I risultati ottenuti sono
stati confrontati in termini di efficienza di cattura della CO2,
produzione di biomassa valorizzabile e caratteristiche qualitative della
biomassa prodotta.

The geographic range size and vulnerability to extinction of epiphytes in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil
Authors: Leão Tarciso , Reich Peter , Lughadha Eimear Nic
Published: August 2022

Epiphytes have long been reported to have larger geographic ranges than
terrestrial species, despite evidence of their outstanding diversity and
endemism. This apparent contradiction calls for further investigation of
epiphytes’ poorly understood range size patterns. Here, we address the
question of whether epiphytes have larger geographic ranges than
terrestrial species in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, a global centre of
epiphyte diversity. In contrasting the extent of occurrence and area of
occupancy of 12,679 epiphytes and non-epiphytes at varying taxonomic
scales, we found that epiphytes have among the smallest geographic
ranges of flowering plants and likely a high vulnerability to species
extinction. We found no evidence that epiphytism leads to differences in
geographic ranges between close relatives. However, epiphytes and
non-epiphytes in epiphyte-rich lineages share many diversification
mechanisms and ecological adaptations (‘epiphyte-like traits’), which
probably explains why both sets of species have small range sizes and
high vulnerability to extinction.
The Association of Socioeconomic Variables with Cesarean Section: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Wilson Katrina , Fogel Joshua , Jacobs Allan
Published: August 2022

o Objective: To probe the relationship between socioeconomic variables
and cesarean section (CS) by studying indicators of socioeconomic status
(SES) previously unexamined in the United States (US). o Design:
Retrospective review of government data. o Setting: New York City. o
Population or Sample: Women (n=80,506) who gave birth to a live child
during 2018. o Methods: Analysis of data from the New York City
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and from the US census. o Main
Outcome Measures: Presence of CS. o Results: Multivariate logistic
regression analysis showed higher odds for CS for higher median
household income [US$54,500-$108,499 (OR:1.14, 95% CI:1.02, 1.28,
p=0.03) and US$108,500-$380,499 (OR:1.36, 95% CI:1.14, 1.63,
p<0.001)], and percent receiving supplemental nutrition
assistance program (OR:1.01, 95% CI 1.002, 1.01, p=0.003). Lower odds
for CS occurred for per capita income [US$32,500-$54,499 (OR:0.91,
95% CI:0.86, 0.97, p=0.002), US$54,500-$108,499 (OR:0.79, 95%
CI:0.71, 0.88, p<0.001), and US$108,500-$380,499 (OR:0.82,
95% CI:0.71, 0.94, p=0.01)]. No significant association occurred for
public assistance. o Conclusions: We recommend from a public health
perspective that using neighborhood SES information has the potential to
improve health systems to better deliver care. Patient preferences may
be related to SES. There may be conflicts between obstetric care that is
maximally beneficial and patient’s desire for delivery mode. Clinicians
should be aware of the potential implications of this dilemma.

Pet cat personality linked to owner-reported predation frequency
Authors: Cordonnier Marion , Perrot Amira , Ferry Nicolas , Bonnaud Elsa , Baudry Emmanuelle
Published: August 2022

The domestic cat, Felis catus, is one of the most popular and widespread
domestic animals. Because domestic cats can reach high population
densities and retain at least some tendency to hunt, their overall
impact on wildlife can be severe. Domestic cats have highly variable
predation rates depending on the availability of prey in their
environment, their owners’ practices, and individual cat
characteristics. Among these characteristics, cat personality has
recently been hypothesized to be an important factor contributing to
variations in the hunting activity of cats. In this study, we used
surveys of 2,508 cat owners living in France to collect information
about cat personalities using the Feline Five personality model and
about the frequency with which the cats bring home prey. For both birds
and rodents, cats with high levels of extraversion or low levels of
neuroticism had significantly higher frequencies of prey return. Owners
whose cats had low levels of agreeableness or high levels dominance
reported a significantly lower frequency of bird return. Personality
differences therefore seem to contribute to the high variability in
predation rates between domestic cats. We also found that the
owner-reported prey return frequencies were significantly higher for
cats spending more time outdoors, for non-pedigree cats, and for owners
living in rural or suburban areas as opposed to urban areas. By
contrast, we did not detect an effect of cat sex or age on their
reported prey return rates.
Environmental adaptability of the genus Carex-A case study of Carex heterostachya and Carex breviculmis in northwest China
Authors: Wang Xiaoqi , Feng Yuhan , Feng Xuewei , Liu Wanting , Hua Jinguo , Xie Fei , Ji Wenli
Published: August 2022

Carex heterostachya (CH) and Carex breviculmis (CB) are easy to develop
lawns in a short period and exhibit high ornamental value in northwest
China. So, what type of plant functional traits has they formed for
long-term survival and adaptation to this environment, which plant is
more adaptable, as well as which leaf functional traits are critical to
photosynthetic characteristics. The result of this study suggests that
(1) CB is a slow investment-return plant with strong environmental
adaptability and plasticity in long-term shaded environments. It is
characterized by its weak photosynthetic capacity, smaller specific leaf
area, low CO2 compensation point, high water utilization rate, high
maximum carboxylation rate, as well as dark breathing rate. Moreover, it
also has a thick cuticle, and epidermal cells make CB resistant to
drought and barrenness. (2) CH is a quick investment-return plant, which
is characterized by its higher photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate,
stomatal conductance, as well as larger specific leaf area. With the
increase of the temperature and photosynthetically active radiation, CH
maintains high photosynthetic capacity by decreasing the transpiration
rate and increasing the utilization rate of light energy. Its conducting
tissue is well developed. CH have lower light saturation points and
light compensation points, and CH was more shade-tolerant than CB. (3)
Carex have strong environmental adaptability, large variation in leaf
structure traits, as well as strong plasticity. Leaf anatomical
characters are stable, whereas there are differences in the
interspecific variability and plasticity. (4) Specific leaf area (SLA)
can serve as the main factor affecting the photosynthetic availability
of Carex, the thickness of the stratum corneum(CUT), the thickness of
the upper(UET) are secondary factors. These finding can provide a
theoretical basis for the cultivation and application of Carex and the
expansion of turfgrass germplasm resources.

Published: August 2022

Background and Purpose: Dysregulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis
is linked to major depressive disorder (MDD), with more than 300 million
people diagnosed and worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Accumulating
evidence for Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and galanin (GAL) interaction was
shown in various limbic system regions at molecular-,cellular- and
behavioral-specific levels. The purpose of the current work was to
evaluate the proliferating role of GALR2 and Y1R agonists interaction
upon intranasal infusion in the ventral hippocampus. Experimental
approach: We studied their hippocampal proliferating actions using the
proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and the expression of of the
brain-derived neurothrophic factor (BDNF). Moreover, we studied the
formation of Y1R-GALR2 heteroreceptor complexes and analyzed
morphological changes on hippocampal neuronal cells. Finally, the
functional outcome of the NPY and GAL interaction on the ventral
hippocampus was evaluated in the forced swimming test. Key Results: We
demonstrated that the intranasal infusion of GALR2 and the Y1R agonists
promotes cell proliferation in the DG of the ventral hippocampus and the
induction of the neurotrophic factor BDNF. These effects were mediated
by the increased formation of Y1R-GALR2 heteroreceptor complexes, which
may mediate the neurites outgrowth observed on neuronal hippocampal
cells. Importantly, BDNF action was found necessary for the
antidepressant-like effects after GALR2 and the Y1R agonists intranasal
administration. Conclusions & Implications: Our data may suggest the
translational development of new heterobivalent agonist pharmacophores
acting on Y1R–GALR2 heterocomplexes in the ventral hippocampus for the
novel therapy of mayor depression disorder or depressive-affecting
diseases.

Impact of firms’ Greenwashing practices on customer green trust and green brand attachment: Pakistan`s home appliances consumers’ perspective
Authors: Butt Adnan , Naeem Meer Suroor , Ishrat Ali Palwasha , Hameed Salman
Published: August 2022

The usage of green products has increased dramatically in the recent decade. The compelling reason behind this behavioral change is the consumer understanding of climate change and its negative impact on the planet. However, firms’ engagement in greenwashing is causing a detrimental impact on this green cause, and it is leading customers to disbelieve the environmental claims of the firms. This study investigates the impact of firms’ greenwashing practices on consumer green trust and green brand attachment. Moreover, it examines the intermediation factors of green perceived risk, green perceived value, green confusion, and green brand image. This study follows a quantitative research design and deductive approach. Data was collected from the home appliances consumers through an online and in-person survey questionnaire. Respondents were contacted by using the non-probability sampling technique and a sample of 330 valid responses was used to analyze the data. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to test the reliability of the variables and Structural Equation Modeling to test the nine hypotheses that were proposed in this study. The findings suggest that Greenwashing negatively affects Green Perceived Value (GPV) and GPV positively affects Green Trust (GT). GT showed a positive impact on Green Brand Attachment (GBA). Hence, it is proved that greenwashing may reduce the trust and Brand Attachment of the consumers with the green product. Greenwashing has a positive impact on Green Confusion and a negative impact on Green Brand Image. These findings augment the existing knowledge on the relationship between greenwashing and green brand attachment. It is suggested that if organizations want to increase consumers` green trust and green brand attachment, they must refrain from greenwashing. Green brand trust is a significant driver of the relationship-building process and organizations should strive to build it by furnishing real green values to the consumers, thus it will result in increasing the market share of the companies.
Noninvasive Fibrosis Screening in Fatty Liver Disease Among Vulnerable Populations: Impact of Diabetes and Obesity on Fibrosis-4 Score Accuracy
Authors: Kim Rebecca G. , Deng Jasmine , Reaso Jewel N. , Grenert James P. , Khalili Mandana
Published: August 2022

  

Objective: Fatty liver disease (FLD) is prevalent in diabetes, and both disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. The fibrosis-4 score (FIB-4) is recommended to screen for advanced liver fibrosis. Limited data have suggested that diabetes may impact FIB-4. Research Design and Methods: We evaluated FIB-4 accuracy for advanced fibrosis compared to liver biopsy in presence of diabetes and obesity. 

Results: Among 363 FLD patients receiving care in San Francisco’s safety-net from 8/2009-2/2020, characteristics were: median age 51yrs, 46% male, 59% Hispanic, 68% obese, 33% with diabetes and 31% had advanced fibrosis on histology. Overall, the c-statistic for FIB-4 was 0.79, but was worse in patients with diabetes, 0.68, than without, 0.85 (p=0.003). Accuracy also varied by weight, at 0.65, 0.85, 0.75, for normal-weight, overweight and obese, respectively, although not significantly (p=0.24). 

Conclusions: The findings highlight limitations of FIB-4 in screening for advanced liver fibrosis, particularly in individuals with diabetes.
Comparative study of GaAs nanostructures synthesized in air and distilled water by picosecond pulsed laser ablation and application in hazardous molecules detection

Published: August 2022

This work explored the fundamental differences/mechanisms between the GaAs substrates ablated in two different media of air and distilled water (DW). A scan area of 5 × 5 mm2 was ablated by a picosecond laser with a pulse duration of 30 ps, a repetition rate of 10 Hz, a wavelength of 1064 nm, and a pulse energy of 2 mJ. The spacing between raster scan lines was varied (0.05–0.35 mm), keeping the scan speed (0.15 mm/s) constant. The obtained GaAs nanostructures (NSs) were thoroughly analyzed using microscopy techniques. A clear increase in separation between the raster scan lines was observed with an increase in the scan spacing for the GaAs NSs fabricated in air, whereas the same result was not observed in DW. Moreover, structures with debris were formed in air irrespective of the spacing, unlike the formation of uniform quasiperiodic GaAs NSs throughout the sample in the case of DW ablation. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the detailed studies involving DW in the fabrication of quasiperiodic NSs of GaAs. Further, these quasiperiodic GaAs NSs formed in DW were coated with a thin layer of gold using the thermal evaporation method, annealed at 400 °C for 1 h in an ambient atmosphere. As a consequence of annealing, Au NPs were uniformly decorated on the quasiperiodic NSs of GaAs imparting plasmonic nature to the whole structures. Subsequently, the Au NPs decorated GaAs NSs were utilized as surface enhanced Raman scattering substrates for the detection of methylene blue (dye molecule) and Thiram (pesticide molecule) at low concentrations.

A “Ticking Bomb” Named FSO Safer: Environmental Impact and State Responsibility under the View of International Law of the Sea
Authors: Manogar Gregory Joshua
Published: August 2022

Oil spill is known as one of many common environmental disasters. Many oil spill disasters have cost countries and companies around the world huge amount of losses, and most importantly severe environmental damage which is not recoverable. Currently, one of Yemeni ships named FSO Safer is trapped and stranded around 5 miles from the outer coast of Yemen. The ship is carrying around 1 million barrels of crude oil in its storage, unfortunately the ship is currently in a poor condition and unstable, which may cause the largest super tanker oil spill disaster in the history, even worse than the Exxon Valdez disaster. Countries around the world including UN Members are looking for an immediate alternative to mitigate the disaster, as the Yemeni Government is currently in an armed conflict with the Houthi and have a very limited resource. This paper will analyze, which country will be affected by this imminent peril, who shall be responsible for the disaster and whether an exceptional circumstance that surrounds Yemen Government may discharge them for their responsibility as a state. This paper found that, this imminent disaster, will affect most of the countries located in the area of Red Sea, and the responsibility to deal with this imminent disaster are attached to all the affected countries under the UNCLOS 1982, including Yemen without any exception. An international movement initiated by the UN and Yemen Government itself must act immediately to prevent the disaster.

Исследован феномен «маски нормальности» массовых убийц и ключевые элементы деструктивного молодежного движения «Колумбайн». Приведены примеры исследований «Колумбайна», психопатий, скулшутинга. Дана характеристика социально-психологическому профилю «маски нормальности» скулшутера. Описано, что различные формы психопатий могут иметь размытые границы и обладать качествами «нормального характера», а также чаще встречаются в смешанном виде и могут переходить в глубокую патологию. Многообразие и неустойчивость психопатий затрудняют диагностику и оценку клинической картины и определение единого диагноза для лиц, совершивших массовые убийства. Актуальной задачей остается разработка стандарта диагностических инструментов и правового поля для ранней диагностики психопатических личностей с «маской нормальности», которые потенциально могут присоединиться к деструктивной субкультуре «Колумбайна».

The phenomenon of the “mask of normality” of mass murderers and the key elements of the destructive Columbine youth movement are investigated. The popularity of the destructive Columbine subculture among young people, its cross-border nature, the dynamics of the number of fans growth in the Russian segment of the Internet, morу frequent attempts to implement mass killings in Russian educational institutions determine the relevance of the study. Examples of studies of Columbine, psychopathies, and school shooting are given. The characteristic of the socio-psychological profile of the school shooter’s “mask of normality” is given. The “mask of normality” of a mass murderer manifests itself in a state of mental stability that occurs after a momentary release of unconscious energy. It is described that various forms of psychopathies may have blurred boundaries and possess the qualities of a “normal character”. These forms are also more common in a mixed form and may develop into a deep pathology. The diversity and instability of psychopathies makes it difficult to diagnose and assess the clinical picture and to determine a single diagnosis for the perpetrators of mass murder. Developing a standard of diagnostic tools and a legal framework for the early diagnosis of psychopathic individuals with a “mask of normality” who can potentially join the destructive subculture of Columbine remains an urgent task.

An Effective Short-Term Electrical Load Forecasting Model: A Constructive Neural Network Approach
Authors: Islam Kazi Rafiqul , Kabir Md. Monirul , Surja Amit Shaha , Iqbal Md. Shahid
Published: August 2022

In this paper, an Effective Electrical Load Forecasting (EELF) model has been introduced based on Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) which utilizes the constructive method during training. The key aspect of this model is to automate the FFNN architecture during training phase in order to forecast the electrical load. Thus, the robustness of standard FFNN increases while forecasting the electrical load. Moreover, this proposed model can efficiently overcome the existing limitations of FFNN to successfully predict the fast load changes and also the holiday loads. The model has been named as Constructive Approach for Effective Electrical Load Forecasting (CAEELF) on a short-term basis. In order to evaluate the performance of CAEELF, Spain's daily electrical load demand data have been used. Furthermore, extensive experimental results and comparisons have been shown to validate the acceptability of proposed CAEELF for electrical load prediction over other standard FFNN models.

Published: August 2022

Background: Exercise has positive effects on overall health and reduces risk for several chronic diseases. Diverse program modalities are growing as a potential intervention to improve physiological and psychological outcomes. Purpose: The present study examines the effect of a 10-week sprint interval training (SIT) and resistance training program on physiological and psychological variables in young women.
Methods: 37 women (M Age = 24.9±4.3, BMI = 24.7±4.3) participated in a 10-week exercise intervention, consisting of a SIT treadmill protocol and resistance training three times a week for a total of 30 sessions. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two SIT programs (0% incline and 6% incline) and assessed at baseline and post testing for body composition, muscular strength and aerobic fitness. Enjoyment was assessed via a semi-structured interview following the intervention.
Results: There were no significant group by time interactions. There was a significant reduction in body fat percentage (p<0.001, Δ 2.23% & 2.52% respectively), as well as a significant increase in lean mass (p<0.001, Δ 2.59 kg & 2.56 kg, respectively), bench press (p<0.001, Δ 25.87 kg & 24.4 kg, respectively), back squat (p<0.001, Δ 69.7 kg & 64.3 kg, respectively) following the intervention for both groups. There were no significant changes in aerobic fitness, kcal intake, and body fat mass. Overall participants reported enjoying the protocol but expressed apprehension of continuing the exercise on their own.
Conclusions: Our current data suggest that a SIT and resistance program accounts for positive changes on physiological and psychological variables like percentage of body fat reductions and lean mass increments, muscular strength and exercise enjoyment.

The more difficult and varied changes, demands, and challenges in the world of work emphasize mature readiness to deal with them. Last year students need to prepare themselves with increase career adaptability. An external factor that may affect career adaptability is family social support. Family social support can facilitate last year students’ transition process from university to work and helps last year students to manage distress in deal with future work challenges. Thus, it is important to examine the relationship between family social support and career adaptability among last year student. We argue that there was positive relationship between family social support and career adaptability among last year student. This study employed quantitative research method with Spearman’s rho correlation technique as data analysis. The result showed a significant positive relationship between family social support and career adaptability among last year students (r= 0,375; p= 0,000). The research suggests that last year students should involve their family in career preparation in order to get information, advice, and suggestion which can become consideration to choose appropriate work occupation with interest and competence. Thus, it can ease the last year students’ adaptation process in work environment. Keywords: career adaptability, world of work, family social support, last year student

This research focused on examining the relationship between self-esteem and job insecurity in outsourcing employees. The hypothesis of this research was the existence of a negative and significant relationship between self-esteem and job insecurity. There were 211 participants in this study, who were outsourcing employees. Data was collected by using Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES, α = 0.745) and Job Insecurity Scale (JIS, α = 0.723). Technique that was used to analyse the data was Spearman's rho correlation technique because the data was not normal. The results showed that there were a negative and significant relationship between self-esteem and job insecurity (r = -0,246; p = 0,000), positive self-esteem and job insecurity (r = -0,237; p = 0,000), negative self-esteem and job insecurity (r = -0,169; p = 0,007). The higher the self-esteem, the lower the job insecurity of outsourcing employees. Keywords: Self-Esteem, Job Insecurity, Outsourcing Employees

Authors: R. Alsanad Hamid , Z sadik Amin
Published: August 2022

Drones are currently being used in a wide range of useful tasks that are too dangerous or/and expensive to be performed by humans. However, this is increasingly developing security breaching issues due to the possibility of misuse of unmanned aircraft in illegal activities such as drug smuggling, terrorism etc. Thus,thedetection and tracking of dronesare becoming a crucial topic. Unfortunately, due to the drone’s small size, its’ detection methods are generally unreliable: high false alarm rate, low accuracy rate and low detection speed are well-known aspects of this detection. The newemerging real-time algorithm based on the improved “You Only Look Once - version 3” (YOLO-V3) algorithm is proposed here for drone detection. This newly designed algorithm is consisting of three phases and has shown the potential to outperform the traditional detection approaches. The newly designed algorithm is trained and evaluated on the designed drone dataset. The evaluation results of our algorithm obtain 96% on average precision and 95.6% on accuracy.
