Authors: Mbhele Thokozani Patmond , Eric Ncube
Published: January 2023

Technological innovations seem to contribute to improving lifestyles, a better allocation of resources, and ensuring intensive economic growth. The purpose is to cogitate on the essence of technological transformation and encapsulate the value propositions of innovation activities to improve the producer value and socio-economic growth. The first objective is to establish the role of technology and innovations in the development of the cannabis and hemp industry. Then, to analyse how supply chain technology influences the socio-economic growth of the cannabis industry. This chapter uses the systematic literature review method and synthesizes the existing conceptual approaches in the industry. The study embodied the review protocol, identified the inclusion exclusion criteria for relevant publications, performed an in-depth search for studies, and is followed by a critical appraisal, data extraction, and a synthesis of past findings. The study reveals that the role of technology and innovation invigorates the propensity to innovativeness in the cannabis industry to generate new ideas and operations methods.
The Process Towards Cannabis Commercialization by Indigenous Communities for Medicinal Purposes in South Africa
Authors: Bhuda Monicca Thulisile
Published: January 2023

The possibilities of legalizing cannabis for commercial use in South Africa is investigated in this study using desktop research from documents, newsletters, and existing literature. Indigenous communities would gain immensely from the legalization of producing cannabis-infused products, as it would help to enhance the rural economy by producing jobs and create wealth. Cannabis is a significant component of African religion, culture, and beliefs, having been used by indigenous communities for generations and believed to have curative properties. Moreover, legalizing cannabis for industrial use makes sense not only for economic development but also for further medical research. According to the 2022 February speech of the Republic of South Africa's president, Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa, cannabis has the potential to be industrialized and commercialized in South Africa in the near future. The speech came after the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) in 2018 had already decriminalized and permitted cannabis use for both personal and medical purposes, which was previously illegal.

Published: January 2023

The study examines the use of drone technology in agriculture to predict the occurrence of pest and disease outbreaks. The purpose of the study is to comprehend competition analyses and determine the best entry tactics for the aerial imaging and advice service market. They can determine the current state of drone technology and create strategies based on the different companies providing drone services to farms by studying how farmers perceive the drone employed in predictive pest and disease analyses. These observations are highly valuable for comprehending how drone technology can affect Indian agriculture. A virtual survey gives a useful and accurate image; whether or not they utilise it for predictive forecasting and identification, and if they depend on the advice given by various sources or not, and most importantly, how best the drone service available in the market, whether farmers can afford for it.
Drone Harvester
Authors: Gupta Ritu , Kataria Deepika , Tripathi B. S.
Published: January 2023

Drone technology brings a revolutionary change in every sector of production, supply, and service. It came as a new revolution in the field of agriculture also. Being a light weight, easy-to-handle, and smart device, drone devices along, with IOT and sensors, help make the smart agriculture to rise; it can also be considered as the agriculture 4.0 revolution. This chapter demonstrates the potential application of drone technology that are currently in use at the countries like US for smart cultivation. Usage of drone technology not only helps to improve the production; it can also help to avoid the wastage of the crops and fruits grown in places that are harder to be accessible by the human being due the geographical conditions. Considering the same problem, the author proposes a smart drone-based harvester that can be used to pluck the fruits and vegetable at high altitude or difficult to reach places. This harvester is also able to measure the ripening condition of the fruits in order to avoid any type of wastage.
Introduction to Machine Learning Methods With Application in Agriculture

Published: January 2023

Machine learning is the branch of artificial intelligence which makes the computers capable enough to learn from the input data using statistical models and algorithms to imitate the human learning process, gradually becoming more accurate at outcome prediction without being explicitly programmed to do so. Once the algorithm learns what task it has to do with the data, it works on it automatically. Deep learning, also referred to as deep neural network or deep neural learning, on the other hand, is the branch of machine learning, which is just a neural network with many layers to optimize and upgrade for accuracy.

Faces of generalized permutohedra
Authors: Postnikov Alex , Reiner Victor , Williams Lauren
Published: January 2023

The aim of the paper is to calculate face numbers of simple generalized permutohedra, and study their

f-, h

- and

\gamma

-vectors. These polytopes include permutohedra, associahedra, graph-associahedra, simple graphic zonotopes, nestohedra, and other interesting polytopes. We give several explicit formulas for

h

-vectors and

\gamma

-vectors involving descent statistics. This includes a combinatorial interpretation for

\gamma

-vectors of a large class of generalized permutohedra which are flag simple polytopes, and confirms for them Gal's conjecture on the nonnegativity of

\gamma

-vectors. We calculate explicit generating functions and formulae for

h

-polynomials of various families of graph-associahedra, including those corresponding to all Dynkin diagrams of finite and affine types. We also discuss relations with Narayana numbers and with Simon Newcomb's problem. We give (and conjecture) upper and lower bounds for

f-, h

-, and

\gamma

-vectors within several classes of generalized permutohedra. An appendix discusses the equivalence of various notions of deformations of simple polytopes.
Duality for topological modular forms
Authors: Stojanoska Vesna
Published: January 2023

It has been observed that certain localizations of the spectrum of topological modular forms are self-dual (Mahowald–Rezk, Gross–Hopkins). We provide an integral explanation of these results that is internal to the geometry of the (compactified) moduli stack of elliptic curves

\mathcal M

, yet is only true in the derived setting. When 2 is inverted, a choice of level 2 structure for an elliptic curve provides a geometrically well-behaved cover of

\mathcal M

, which allows one to consider

Tmf

as the homotopy fixed points of

Tmf(2)

, topological modular forms with level 2 structure, under a natural action by

GL_2(\mathbb Z/2)

. As a result of Grothendieck–Serre duality, we obtain that

Tmf(2)

is self-dual. The vanishing of the associated Tate spectrum then makes

Tmf

itself Anderson self-dual.
Quillen homology for operads via Gröbner bases
Authors: Dotsenko Vladimir , Khoroshkin Anton
Published: January 2023

The main goal of this paper is to present a way to compute Quillen homology of operads. The key idea is to use the notion of a shuffle operad we introduced earlier; this allows to compute, for a symmetric operad, the homology classes and the shape of the differential in its minimal model, although does not give an insight on the symmetric groups action on the homology. Our approach goes in several steps. First, we regard our symmetric operad as a shuffle operad, which allows to compute its Gröbner basis. Next, we define a combinatorial resolution for the «monomial replacement» of each shuffle operad (provided by the Gröbner bases theory). Finally, we explain how to «deform» the differential to handle every operad with a Gröbner basis, and find explicit representatives of Quillen homology classes for a large class of operads. We also present various applications, including a new proof of Hoffbeck's PBW criterion, a proof of Koszulness for a class of operads coming from commutative algebras, and a homology computation for the operads of Batalin–Vilkovisky algebras and of Rota–Baxter algebras.
An optimal extension theorem for 1-forms and the Lipman–Zariski conjecture
Authors: Graf Patrick , Kovács Sándor J.
Published: January 2023

Let

X

be a normal variety. Assume that for some reduced divisor

D \subset X

, logarithmic 1-forms defined on the snc locus of

(X, D)

extend to a log resolution

\widetilde X \to X

as logarithmic differential forms. We prove that then the Lipman–Zariski conjecture holds for

X

. This result applies in particular if

X

has log canonical singularities. Furthermore, we give an example of a 2-form defined on the smooth locus of a three-dimensional log canonical pair

(X, \emptyset)

which acquires a logarithmic pole along an exceptional divisor of discrepancy zero, thereby improving on a similar example of Greb, Kebekus, Kovács and Peternell.

The Dyson Equation with Linear Self-Energy: Spectral Bands, Edges and Cusps
Authors: Alt Johannes , Erdős László , Krüger Torben
Published: January 2023

We study the unique solution

m

of the Dyson equation

-m(z)^{-1} = z1\!\!1 - a + S[m(z)]

on a von Neumann algebra

\mathcal{A}

with the constraint

\text{Im}\, m\ge 0

. Here,

z

lies in the complex upper half-plane,

a

is a self-adjoint element of

\mathcal{A}

and

S

is a positivity-preserving linear operator on

\mathcal{A}

. We show that

m

is the Stieltjes transform of a compactly supported

\mathcal{A}

-valued measure on

\mathbb{R}

. Under suitable assumptions, we establish that this measure has a uniformly

1/3

-Hölder continuous density with respect to the Lebesgue measure, which is supported on finitely many intervals, called bands. In fact, the density is analytic inside the bands with a square-root growth at the edges and internal cubic root cusps whenever the gap between two bands vanishes. The shape of these singularities is universal and no other singularity may occur. We give a precise asymptotic description of

m

near the singular points. These asymptotics generalize the analysis at the regular edges given in the companion paper on the Tracy–Widom universality for the edge eigenvalue statistics for correlated random matrices [the first author et al., Ann. Probab. 48, No. 2, 963–1001 (2020; Zbl 1434.60017)] and they play a key role in the proof of the Pearcey universality at the cusp for Wigner-type matrices [
G. Cipolloni
et al., Pure Appl. Anal. 1, No. 4, 615–707 (2019; Zbl 07142203); the second author et al., Commun. Math. Phys. 378, No. 2, 1203–1278 (2020; Zbl 07236118)]. We also extend the finite dimensional band mass formula from [the first author et al., loc. cit.] to the von Neumann algebra setting by showing that the spectral mass of the bands is topologically rigid under deformations and we conclude that these masses are quantized in some important cases.
Case Report: An Imported Case of Severe Leptospirosis with Septic Cardiomyopathy Requiring Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Japan
Authors: Goto Takao , Oda Rentaro , Norisue Yasuhiro , Koizumi Nobuo
Published: January 2023

A 29-year-old Japanese man presenting with fever, joint pain, and diarrhea was admitted to the intensive care unit for cardiogenic and distributive shock. We suspected leptospirosis based on conjunctival hyperemia, skin rash, elevated bilirubin, and renal involvement; a travel history to Laos was also suggestive. We confirmed the diagnosis with blood and urine polymerase chain reaction and microscopic agglutination tests using paired serum samples. His hemodynamics were unstable, and his echocardiogram showed diffuse and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction on day 2. He initially required venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) support but responded and recovered on antimicrobial therapy. His cardiac function and hemodynamics improved on day 5. Severe leptospirosis may cause jaundice, renal failure, pulmonary hemorrhage, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and central nervous system involvement; however, few studies have reported severe cardiac manifestations. Herein, we report the first case of septic cardiomyopathy secondary to leptospirosis that was successfully managed with V-A ECMO. Leptospirosis should be included in the differential diagnosis when a patient returning from an endemic area presents with cardiogenic shock. Furthermore, intensive care management with prompt initiation of V-A ECMO should be considered to reverse septic cardiomyopathy.
Teoretyczna analiza wpływu systemu aktywnej pokrywy komory silnika na obliczenia prędkości kolizyjnej samochodu, który potrącił pieszego
Authors: Wach Krzysztof
Published: January 2023

Celem pracy była analiza wpływu systemu aktywnej pokrywy komory silnika na obliczenia prędkości kolizyjnej samochodu, który potrącił pieszego. Jednym z coraz częściej stosowanych tego typu systemów jest tak zwana aktywna pokrywa komory silnika (ang. Active Hood, Pop-up Bonnet). Po wykryciu kontaktu przedniej części nadwozia z pieszym, sterownik systemu generuje sygnał inicjujący uniesienie pokrywy, najczęściej jej tylnej części. Działanie to zapewnia zwiększenie dystansu pomiędzy pokrywą a twardymi elementami znajdującymi się w komorze silnika, redukując obrażenia pieszego (zwłaszcza głowy). Zmiana położenia pokrywy w trakcie zderzenia może mieć wpływ na wartość zmierzonego na samochodzie zasięgu wrzucenia oraz rozwinięcia pieszego, czyli wielkości wykorzystywanych do szacowania prędkości kolizyjnej samochodu. W artykule dokonano teoretycznej analizy wpływu zadziałania systemu na wartość przyrostu rozwinięcia pieszego, a w konsekwencji na szacowaną wartość minimalnej prędkości uderzenia. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, iż w niektórych przypadkach uniesienie pokrywy komory silnika może nieznacznie wpływać na szacowaną wartość prędkości kolizyjnej, nie powinno to mieć jednak istotnego wpływu na rezultaty prowadzonej analizy.

Theoretical analysis of the active hood system effect on the calculation of the impact speed of a car hitting a pedestrian

The aim of the work was an analysis of the currently used solutions that ensure pedestrian protection at the time of collision. Selected systems from the area of external passive safety of a car are presented. One of the increasingly used systems of this type is the so-called Active Hood (Pop-up Bonnet). As a result of detecting the contact of the front part of the car body with a pedestrian, the system controller generates a signal initiating the lifting of the engine cover (usually its rear part) upwards. This increases the distance between the bonnet and the hard components in the engine compartment, reducing the severity of injuries to pedestrians (especially the head). The change of the position of the engine cover during a crash may have an impact on the value of wrap around distance. This quantity is used to estimate the collision speed of the car. The article presents a theoretical analysis of the impact of the Active Hood safety system on the value of the pedestrian wrap around distance increment and, consequently, on the estimated value of the minimum impact velocity. The obtained results indicate that in some cases the lifting of the bonnet may have a slight influence on the estimated value of the collision velocity, however, this should not have significant influence on the results of the analysis.

Este artigo apresenta a análise da permeabilidade BIM encontrada na matriz curricular atual do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da FAU/UFJF. (CAU/FAU/UFJF), conforme a metodologia apresentada pela Rede de Células BIM ANTAC baseada em Checcucci;Amorim (2014). As análises são fruto de um trabalho coletivo, desenvolvido dentro da Célula BIM FAU/UFJF, que iniciou suas atividades em abril de 2022. 
Como as disciplinas com interface BIM foram localizadas somente no núcleo de conhecimentos profissionalizantes, considerou-se necessário utilizar a classificação criada pela própria Matriz do Curso, constituída a partir das Áreas do Conhecimento: (a) Representação e Expressão, (b) História e Teoria, (c) Projeto e (d) Tecnologias, para uma análise mais aprofundada. Como apresentado na Figura 1, as análises foram construídas com base na ocorrência de cada categoria preenchida no quadro de resposta das disciplinas de cada área do conhecimento. 
Observa-se  com a aplicação do método  disciplinas que possuem uma  grande permeabilidade BIM. Com destaque para as disciplinas  das áreas de Projeto e Tecnologia. É possível, com este resultado, compreender mais claramente as categorias específicas que cada área do conhecimento evoca.  Espera-se, com estes resultados, subsidiar interpretações a respeito da atual matriz e quais abordagens podem ter prioridade e ser foco de ação e proposição experimental pela Célula BIM de forma ao encaminhamento de uma implementação BIM mais ampliada.

A emergência do sujeito em mobilização: tempos e espaços do ser e do agir
Authors: Souza Gustavo
Published: January 2023

Práticas insurgentes e mobilizações sociais são frequentemente lidas apenas a partir de seus impactos, propostas, legados e estruturações produtivas, relegando a ação política a uma condição meramente utilitarista e corporativa. No entanto, as minúcias da emergência dos sujeitos mobilizados e suas subjetividades postas em riste revelam prospectos que permitem compreender os significados conjunturais e sócio-históricos da atividade mobilizada e insurgente no tempo e no espaço. Neste ensaio, procura-se demorar o pensamento acerca da constituição e da substância do sujeito que se mobiliza, refletindo subjetividade, agência, potência e resíduos existenciais consubstanciais à performance sociopolítica e à realidade social em constante contratura.
Política e Cristianismo no Brasil: quadriênio 2018 - 2021
Authors: Firmino da Silva Thaiane
Published: January 2023

A partir do entendimento de que a dicotomia política - religião é temática clássica na área das Ciências Sociais (MATA, 2008), esta investigação situou o objeto historicamente e concentrou esforços nas particularidades apresentadas na conjuntura do Brasil. Com o objetivo de analisar a influência do cristianismo no atual cenário político brasileiro, a pesquisa recorreu à editoria República, do jornal Gazeta do Povo, para verificar como as publicações evidenciaram o tema no período compreendido entre os anos de 2018 e 2021. À vista disso, localizou o veículo de mídia no panorama nacional e apresentou a relevância da temática em seu escopo. Desse modo, a pesquisa requisitou expertises das abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa e foi desenvolvida a partir de pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011). As técnicas empreendidas foram a pesquisa bibliográfica (STUMPF, 2005), a entrevista individual (BAUER; GASKELL, 2002) e a pesquisa documental (OLIVEIRA, 2007). Os resultados apontaram que o cristianismo exerce influência no cenário político brasileiro hodierno e que a associação entre política e religião é percebida como legítima no âmbito do jornal Gazeta do Povo, sendo recorrente em notícias relacionadas ao Poder Executivo.

Published: January 2023

Esta pesquisa é uma investigação sobre a natureza da demanda por produtos e serviços culturais gratuitos por discentes do ensino técnico profissionalizante da cidade de Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brasil. As questões abordadas tratam do conceito de capital cultural  tendo como referência os estudos de Pierre Bourdieu. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada no final do segundo semestre de 2018 e início de 2019 e envolveu uma amostra de 248 alunos. O estudo utilizou como ferramenta exploratória um questionário com 38 questões fechadas e uma aberta onde se coletaram informações socioeconômicas, educacionais,  preferências musicais, percepção a respeito dos bens e serviços culturais oferecidos pela cidade e sua satisfação para com eles, etc. Os resultados pouco expressivos para capital cultural são reforçados, por exemplo, pela falta de hábito de leitura dos entrevistados (quase 50% não havia lido livro algum nos últimos três meses que antecederam a entrevista).
WhatsApp? Opportunities and Challenges in the Use of a Messaging App as a Qualitative Research Tool
Authors: Bueno-Roldan Rocio , Röder Antje
Published: January 2023

This article evaluates the use of the popular Mobile Messaging App (MMA) WhatsApp as a way to conduct qualitative research with geographically dispersed samples. Through the use of a case study of Latino expat-wives around the globe, we show how traditional methods of qualitative interviewing were adapted and evolved through the use of this application. Findings suggest that WhatsApp is a valuable tool for conducting qualitative research with specific advantages over other MMAs and VoIPs due to its familiarity amongst the target group and its flexible blending of video, audio, and written forms of communication. Particularly its use on smartphones led to interactions that went beyond regular face-to-face interviews, thus allowing us access normally only gained in ethnography studies. While this can be a gain in terms of building rapport and increase the depth of data collection, it also brings new challenges in terms of ensuring data quality, interpreting non-verbal cues and ensuring high ethical standards.

Published: January 2023

Many agricultural and home gardening interventions aim to improve the nutritional status of women and children in low- and middle-income countries by focusing on women as the recipients of the intervention and make assumptions that women will be empowered as a result. This paper examines the potential impact of an intervention study that combined home garden training and support, and nutrition behaviour change communication, with a social safety net payment, on women’s empowerment in rural Bangladesh. We assessed the implementation of this study in terms of feasibility, acceptability, and practical application. Twenty in-depth interviews were conducted with randomly selected women that took part in the study. Qualitative data was coded using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke 2006) and the results presented using the following five indicators: control over use of income, input into productive decisions, respect among household members, self-efficacy, and input into nutrition and health care decisions. Our study showed that a combined nutrition-specific (nutrition counselling) and nutrition-sensitive (agricultural training and unconditional cash transfer) intervention, delivered on a mobile platform, to women from low-income families in rural Bangladesh was feasible and acceptable. The study further revealed evidence on behaviour change across five key indicators related to women’s empowerment. The study highlights the potential for such an intervention to impact women’s empowerment and provides insight for the aid in the design of larger-scale trials implemented in similar settings.

This qualitative study drew on a larger study which was to explore and understand the experiences of non-native speaker postgraduate students in writing dissertations at one university in the United Kingdom. In this qualitative study, we interviewed four international students from different countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Japan. We identified two main themes pertaining to the challenges in writing dissertations. The first included student-related challenges (technical writing matters, thinking in English, identifying research topics, writing literature review, lack of communicative competence and boredom) and the second focused on s-related challenges (meeting supervisor). To cope with those challenges, the participants have applied a multitude of strategies, such as self-management strategies (reading articles/books, translation strategy, key-point drafting and entertainment) and getting-help strategies (asking supervisor[s], hiring proof-readers and online proofreading service). As an implication of this study, we suggest that the postgraduate students could identify their own challenge as non-native English speakers in writing a good quality dissertation in English and find their own effective strategy to overcome it.
Role Play: Actualizing the IEP Meeting for Pre-Service Teachers
Authors: Toledo Courtney
Published: January 2023

Teacher preparation programs provide numerous teaching and learning opportunities for pre-service teachers; however, participating in an Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting is not an experience that can be guaranteed. Leading and participating in IEP meetings are a responsibility that all special education teachers will be held accountable for, but many pre-service teachers will never be able to observe a real IEP meeting before entering the field. In this qualitative case study, the researcher utilizes a simulated IEP meeting to provide pre-service teachers with experience in participating in an IEP meeting prior to entering the profession. The case study method is utilized to examine the perceptions and experiences of pre-service teachers following the simulated IEP meeting experience. Findings in this study support the use of role-play in developing a greater understanding of the IEP process, from program development to the IEP meeting itself.
The State of Data: Reflections on Using 'Big' and Administrative Data Sources in Social Research
Authors: Hunter Scot , Shapira Marina
Published: January 2023

Recent computing power and storage advancements have meant more data are being collected and stored. Referred to as 'Big data', these data sources offer researchers myriad opportunities to make observations about the social world. These data can be massive, provide insight into whole populations rather than just a sample, and be used to analyse social behaviour in real time. Administrative data, a subcategory under the big data umbrella, also offers researchers abundant opportunities to conduct highly relevant research in many areas, including sociology, social policy, education, health studies and many more. This paper offers reflections on social research during the digital age by examining different forms of data, both 'big' and 'small', and their associated advantages and disadvantages. The paper concludes by suggesting that although big data has some promising elements, it also comes with some limitations and povwill not replace 'traditional' social surveys. And yet, when used in conjunction with social surveys, appropriately and ethically, big data could offer the researchers additional valuable insights.

Published: January 2023

The learning process that is currently taking place is still using conventional media, namely by using blackboard media and printed books so that it is still not optimal in increasing understanding of good manners and morals for students. In this way students pay less attention to explanations because they still have to learn while playing. This makes the teachers overwhelmed because they have to explain the material while the students are still in the stage of liking the game. The method used in this research is the development of the Analysis Design Development Implementation Evaluation (ADDIE) system. To measure the success rate of understanding daily etiquette and morals from students, a test instrument is used, namely the alpha testing instrument, namely expert review (experts) and beta which will later be in the form of pretest and posttest. The results obtained at this time is an application of learning etiquette and daily morality that has been tested using alpha and beta testing methods. Based on the results of the expert review that has been carried out, the results obtained are 4.1 in the Very Valid category. Furthermore, for the results of the field test, namely the alpha and beta tests obtained from the results of the pretest and posttest, the average student got 88 results in the high category. This indicates an increase in learning from students before and after the use of animation applications.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the government made a revolving business capital assistance program, which is one of the program plans from the Durian Village Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) in Sei Balai District which was created to address economic problems within the Durian Village, Sei Balai District. This revolving business capital assistance program in the form of credit funds was created to improve the quality of life of the poor by disbursing capital credit assistance to assist rural communities in developing businesses that were previously affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, making small businesses such as brick makers, pots, ornamental plants and farmers experience difficulties. the decrease in income in the village, then from the revolving business capital assistance program the targets of this program are small and medium enterprises (SMEs). So far, prospective recipients of funds at BUMDes Durian are still determined by holding a meeting by the Village Head and data storage and data processing of prospective recipients are still using Microsoft Office Word, which of course makes BUMDes take relatively longer time to make decisions. This old system is less effective because it cannot determine potential recipients of funds in a short time. For this reason, it is necessary to establish a new system that can be used to determine potential recipients of funds more easily and assist BUMDes in determining the eligibility of prospective beneficiaries of targeted assistance. The MFEP method is a multi-criteria decision support technique, that each alternative used consists of a number of criteria with values and each criterion itself has a weight to describe how important these criteria are compared to other criteria.

Data compression is needed so that the need for storage media and data transfer time becomes more efficient. This study compressed image data using the Run-Length Encoding (RLE) method. The test data is the original image (gray scale) and the image results of improving image quality (image enhancement) using contrast modification. Modification of contrast using contrast stretching methods. Through experiments wanting to know the extent to which the RLE method works less effectively for images with complex color intensity. The image of contrast modification results has a more complex color intensity or more varied pixel value. Obtained the number of pairs (p, q) RLE in the image of contrast modification results is less than the original image, with the pair ratio (p, q) RLE ranges from 0.64% to 1.59%. Although this image has a more varied pixel value than its original image, it can produce a compression ratio of the number of pairs (p, q) RLE.
