SOCIAL MEDIA AND DIGITAL JUSTICE IN NIGERIA: AN APPRAISAL
Authors: Martin, Obayi, Paul
Published: January 2022

In recent times, it has become a common knowledge that there are people who are cut off from the flow of information and further isolated from the pull of discussions made possible by digital media. This study, therefore, sought to examine the perception of Southeast residents towards the issues of digital justice in the media space of the country. This study is anchored on the technological determinism theory which was propounded by Marshall McLuhan in 1964. This study adopted the mixed-method research design which deals with the collection of quantitative and qualitative data. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (2017), the population of the southeast is 21,955,400. The sample size of 384 was arrived at using Wimmer and Dominick Online Sample Size Calculator. For the qualitative aspect of the study (in-depth interview), 10 respondents were purposively sampled. Furthermore, the questionnaire and interview guide were the instruments of data collection. The findings of the study revealed that there was a high rate of social media usage among residents in Southeast, Nigeria. Further analysis of data revealed that, at a mean average of 3.0, respondents agree that there are cases of digital injustice in southeast Nigeria. Findings of the study also indicated that, at a mean average of 3.1, respondents identified inadequate telecommunication services, poor network, and lack of knowledge as challenges affecting the actualization of digital justice in the southeast, Nigeria. The researcher concludes that the actualization of digital justice may not be actualized until the residents are given access to digital infrastructure, quality data networks, cheaper social media-enabled gadgets, and cheaper data services. It is recommended that more effort should be put in place by both government and private telecommunication companies to ensure that everybody is connected to digital media.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TRAIN MICROSURGERY? : A SURVEY OF MICROSURGEONS
Authors: Fechine Feitosa Roney Gonçalves , Riboli Gabriela Fernanda , Garcia Elvio Bueno , Neto Miguel Sabino , Montano Pedroso Juan Carlos , Ferreira Lydia Masako
Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION: Microsurgery is a fundamental technique in the armamentarium of reconstructive plastic surgery for complex treatments
involving free tissue transfer. Its training involves years, and the nancial and ethical costs should not be overlooked. The training model is an
important tool in teaching surgical techniques, as well as having an important social impact, as the professional will improve techniques and
improve the intervention on the human being. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyze the opinions of microsurgeons about the role of
simulation in the training of microsurgical techniques. METHODS: An online survey was distributed to microsurgeons working in Brazil, about
the role of simulation in the evaluation of microsurgery and in the training of their techniques. RESULTS: This study observed that 72% of the
interviewees had already taken some practical course in microsurgery. Such a percentile demonstrates the importance that training models have
gained, and some institutions have even recommended participation in refresher courses before clinical practice. About 80% of our participants
believe that routine training in a simulation lab environment would have improved their skills. In addition, 93% agree that such practice would have
been useful during their residency. More than half of the respondents believe that a high-delity, non-animal synthetic training model would be
very important in their training. CONCLUSION: It was observed that the opinions of microsurgeons have changed over time, becoming more
favorable to the use of simulation in training microsurgical techniques.
Single-Ended Oscillation-Based Test Technique for Passive RF Phase Shifters
Authors: Venter Johannes , Stander Tinus
Published: January 2022

Phased array systems have become paramount to
the development of next generation wireless communication networks, with errors
on phase shifters contributing to beam pointing error. Oscillation-based built-in
self-testing (OBIST) of phase shifters may improve on this accuracy. We propose
a single-ended oscillation-based test technique for passive RF phase shifters.
The method uses a negative resistance oscillator topology, where the phase
shifter is used to capacitively load the active negative resistance circuit
resulting in a dependency between relative phase shift and output oscillation
frequency. Simulation results indicate an average sensitivity of 0.14 MHz/° of phase
shift around a nominal 617 MHz output oscillation when testing an X-band
reflection-type phase shifter, while the addition of OBT circuitry increases
the phase shifter’s mid-band insertion loss by 0.93 dB.

This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication. Copyright may be transferred without notice, after which this version may no longer be accessible.

A major revision is done, compared to the previous version.

Abstract: Neural networks (NNs) have been applied to predict complex ship motions for stable ship maneuvering and operations at sea, but the coupling effects of different DoFs are still not effectively modeled in black-box NNs. To this end, we propose a novel deep NN framework that explicitly models the coupling effects through factorization machines, and significantly improves the prediction accuracy without introducing much extra complexity. The proposed framework is also lightweight and frequency-aware, which serves real-time and high-frequency prediction with high accuracy. We experimentally demonstrated that the framework is not only friendly to real-time prediction and online learning, but also interpretable and with great potential to be complemented by common machine learning tricks and go deeper.
Applying Machine Learning and Data Fusion to the "Missing Person" Problem

This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication. Copyright may be transferred without notice, after which this version may no longer be accessible.

We present a system for integrating multiple sources of data for finding missing
persons. This system can assist authorities in finding children during amber alerts, mentally
challenged persons who have wandered off, or person-of-interests in an investigation.
Authorities search for the person in question by reaching out to acquaintances, checking video
feeds, or by looking into the previous histories relevant to the investigation. In the absence of
any leads, authorities lean on public help from sources such as tweets or tip lines. A missing
person investigation requires information from multiple modalities and heterogeneous data
sources to be combined.
Existing cross-modal fusion models use separate information models for each data modality and
lack the compatibility to utilize pre-existing object properties in an application domain. A
framework for multimodal information retrieval, called Find-Them is developed. It includes
extracting features from different modalities and mapping them into a standard schema for
context-based data fusion. Find-Them can integrate application domains with previously derived
object properties and can deliver data relevant for the mission objective based on the context
and needs of the user. Measurements on a novel open-world cross-media dataset show the
efficacy of our model. The objective of this work is to assist authorities in finding uses of
Find-Them in missing person investigation.
Adversarial Attack using Neural Image Modification
Authors: Lana Jandrik
Published: January 2022

In order to help development into analyzing the characteristics of adversarial sample generation in artificial neural networks, this work proposes a framework for an adversarial attack that utilizes neural image modification to generate an adversarial sample. This method proves to be effective in reducing a target network’s accuracy in both untargeted
and targeted attacks with good success rates. This method also shows some effectiveness against defensive
distillation, but not transferrable between multiple models.
Salvation in the rhythm? Crisis and limitation in Henry Maldiney
Authors: Colangelo Carmelo
Published: January 2022

In the frame of an in-depth analysis on the fundamental motifs and main intentions of the works of Henry Maldiney, the essay focuses on the relationship between the dimensions of «limitation» and «unlimited» – the latter understood as the emergence of the «unlimited» within the very heart of a «limited» living body –, crucial for understanding Maldiney’s anti-objectivist attitude and his conception of reality as a surprise. More specifically, the author brings to the fore the concepts of «crisis», «rhythm» and «form», also with regard to the aesthetic-artistic experience, and how the rhythmic nature of a living form can ensure an approach to reality which does not overlook its nature of surprise.
The The Teleological Program. Ernst Mayr’s Teleonomy from Philosophy to Cybernetics (or Kant’s Revenge)
Authors: Vitale Francesco
Published: January 2022

Teleology is still a source of embarrassment for the natural sciences and in particular for biology that seems unable to describe and explain the genesis and structure of life without it. How is it possible for something not yet existing to determine the occurrence of what is temporally prior to it? How can the future cause the present and the past? In what follows we intend to examine the elaboration of the biological notion of «teleonomy» through the writings of Ernst Mayr, in order to verify its rigor and strenght with respect to the criteria of scientificity adopted by Mayr himself, in particular with respect to the adoption of the cybernetic model. On the one hand, to show the consistency of the debt that the so-called scientific discourse owes to the philosophical tradition, where it elaborates notions that claim to be emancipated. On the other hand, to detect, within the scientific discourse itself, the limits that a certain position that claims to be scientifically founded can impose on research, becoming a dogmatic assumption.
A New Image of Humanity? A Transcendental in the Making
Authors: Velotti Stefano
Published: January 2022

If it is true that at the core of the Enlightenment project was an attempt to discover a new definition of human nature itself, there is no doubt that for a long time, and today more than ever, there is a similar urgency to find a different vision of humanity, since the prevailing one – heir of the Enlightenment – is perceived from many sides as in need of a profound revision, if not catastrophic. if we are living in the ruins of modernity, we should neither attempt to embalm them, nor to raze them to the ground. This article maintains that Kant’s work on the reflecting judgment (along with a productive reinterpretation of notions such as «finality», «exemplarity», «heautonomy») can offer precious resources to reshape that image of humanity that we feel is now inadequate in the face of the complexity of our forms of life, without the need to abandon ourselves to old and new longings for the absolute.
Teleology as a way to religion. Hölderlin and the antinomy of judgement
Authors: Santini Barbara
Published: January 2022

The paper discusses Hölderlin’s reading of the Kantian antinomy of the faculty of judgement from a letter to Hegel in January 1795. Its meaning is first explored in relation to a kind of distinctiveness that Hölderlin recognizes to the solution of the antinomy, to the point of considering it the place where the entire spirit of the Kantian system comes to the fore. Secondly, the prototypical role of the antinomy of the faculty of judgement for the other antinomies is shown according to a feature they share in the way in which they are solved. The aim of the paper is to bring out the distinctive feature of Hölderlin’s theoretical confrontation with the Critique of teleological judgement as a task and orientation of Hölderlin’s philosophical commitment itself, which understands Kant’s efforts from a different perspective than the one of his contemporaries.

Effects of EGFR gene mutation on stage 3A lung adenocarcinomas in the clinical decision-making process for mediastinal invasive staging
Authors: Ağababaoğlu İsmail , Yıldız Özgür Ömer , Ersöz Hasan , Şimşek Gökçen , Sanisoğlu Yavuz Selim , Karaoğlanoğlu Nurettin
Published: January 2022

Objective: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of EGFR gene mutation on the clinical course of Non-Small Cell Lung carcinoma.
Material and Methods: Our study was conducted retrospectively on patients who were operated on for NSCLC diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. The International Cancer Control Association and the American Cancer Committee eighth TNM classification system were evaluated in our study. Case groups at this stage were divided into two main groups as EGFR gene mutation (+/-) and data between the clinical behaviours of these two main groups were investigated.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, gender, smoking, and type of surgery (p = 0.727, p = 0.936, p = 0.463). The relationship between EGFR and surgery type was also not significant (2 = 0.268; p = 0.992). There were no statistically significant difference between the medians of Suv-Max value (z = 1.083; p = 0.279). Among 653 cases in all NSCLC adenocarcinoma subtypes, EGFR gene mutation positivity was 23.89%. When we evaluate the progression of patients with EGFR gene mutation from stage 3A to 3B, it is more aggressive in cases with EGFR gene mutation, but it is not statistically significant (c2=2.924; p=0.087).
Conclusions: Knowledge of whether there is an EGFR gene mutation can provide important clinical information. In this respect, EGFR gene mutation positivity in stage 3A cases may constitute an indication for preoperative invasive mediastinal sampling, but we need more data to get statistically definitive results.
Adopción parcial e integral de las prácticas del sistema técnico de Lean en la industria maquiladora de manufactura en México
Authors: Chávez Pineda Jesús Arturo
Published: January 2022

La adopción adecuada del sistema  de producción Lean permite mejorar el desempeño operativo incrementando la productividad. Esta adopción implica un cambio en la cultura organizacional que requiere de un sistema sociotécnico apropiado para lograrlo.  La literatura indica que la adopción integral de las practicas del sistema de producción Lean es preferible a una adopción parcial de las mismas.  Debido a una falta de consenso en la literatura sobre este tema, y para comprender mejor su técnica, Toyota desarrolló un diagrama simple y representativo de su método de producción: el Templo del Sistema de Producción Toyota (TPS), el cual se considera el fundamento de las practicas técnicas de Lean. El objetivo general de la presente investigación consiste en evaluar el grado de adopción parcial e integral de las practicas del sistema técnico de Lean, con base en el  TPS, en las plantas maquiladoras de manufactura en México.  Los resultados indican que las prácticas del ST de Lean con menor grado de implementación están relacionadas con la técnica de producción de “justo a tiempo” esbozado en uno de los pilares del TPS.  La proporción de plantas maquiladoras de manufactura (PMM) que han realizado una adopción parcial de las prácticas del ST es mayor que aquellas que lo han hecho de forma integral. Finalmente, la proporción de PMM que han realizado una adopción parcial de las prácticas técnicas es mayor que aquellas que lo han hecho de forma integral con alto grado de implementación en cada una de las prácticas bajo estudio.

Authors: Glenford C. Franca  , Ma. Melanie N. Edig  , Ronald S. Decano
Published: January 2022

This study, entitled Teachers’ resiliency and the schools readiness to distance education in this time of COVID-19 was conducted to public elementary school institutions, particularly the 2 clusters of Malita North district in Malita, Davao Occidental for the School Year 2020-2021. Descriptive-correlational research design was employed. Adopted survey questionnaire known as Personal Resiliency Scale (PRS) was utilized to measure the resiliency level of the teacher-respondent while an adapted instrument on the schools’ readiness to distance education as perceived by the school teachers was used. Slovin’s formula was employed to determine the sample size of 268 and stratified random sampling technique was applied to ensure proportional distribution of respondents. According to primary school teachers, schools are wonderfully prepared for distance education. The readiness of schools to implement distant education is strongly linked to teacher resiliency. Purposefulness, Social Support, and Adaptability are the three constructs in question. As the degree of these constructs rises, so will the readiness to participate in distance education.Teachers’ resiliency, particularly the concept-Purposefulness, has a substantial impact on school readiness, meaning that we may anticipate school readiness by looking at the level of this construct. The r2=0.350 value indicates that 35.00 percent of the data under consideration fits the regression model. As a result, additional elements that contributed to schools’ preparation for distant education were not taken into account in this study. According to the findings, 35.00 percent of the data examined fit the regression model. As a result, it is suggested that other factors that may have contributed to schools’ preparation for distant education be investigated.

Teachers’ motivational strategies employed in teaching passive pupils
Authors: Tuchod Omela Edwin , Del Mundo Martin Matronillo
Published: January 2022

This main purpose of this to identify the motivational strategies utilised by the intermediate teachers in teaching passive pupils of public elementary schools specifically the Grade-V pupils in Ramon District, School Year 2018-2019. This study used the descriptive-survey design of research to describe the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of the following variables: age, gender, highest educational attainment, position and length of service. Descriptive method was likewise used to gather information about the present conditions, status and trends in the pedagogy. It describes the nature of a situation that exists at the time of the study. Based on the findings of the study, the respondents are still active in implementing the motivational strategies in dealing with passive pupils. Additionally, teachers are not particular about their educational attainment and academic rank. Therefore, Grade-V pupils prefer to attend classes on time, avoid the feeling of inferiority and need the sense of acceptance. However, passive pupils should be given enough time to value their roles as pupils. It is also necessary to develop their potentials and capabilities. The teachers are still introducing traditional strategies in dealing with the passive students. They usually initiate their outmoded techniques, methods and styles in teaching. Thus, the determiners are present in any classroom setting; it is not usually very much present in every class. Moreover, common determiners arise in many ways and it depends upon the applied motivational strategies in dealing with passive pupils. Henceforth, the relationship of the determiners of passivism does not completely affect the motivational strategies employed by the teachers. So, initiating motivational strategies among pupils acknowledges teachers as frontiers of its implementation and enforcement of pupils’ involvement as well must be observed. However, this involvement on the part of the teacher is limited as the finality of decisions still rest in the teachers. This calls for the teachers to increase awareness of the prescribed and present-day motivational strategies to be employed among passive pupils. This can be possibly done if teachers hold high educational qualifications and academic rank by pursuing their education in graduate studies. It is then recommended that teachers should make their subject matter interesting by introducing more group dynamic activities to involve all the pupils, instead of competition. Cooperative learning can also be done by letting the pupils work in groups or in pairs.

Authors: Abdul Aziz Sa’dan , Ismail Hazhari
Published: January 2022

In a Malaysian school, transgender children and their sexual orientation pose a variety of challenges for them to fit in the school community. Nevertheless, school children who are transgender will still have to seek proper and fair schooling in their future. The purpose of this study is to identify and prepare transgender children for proper education on the basis of their gender identity and expression for those who is potentially becoming a transgender. The method adopted in the study was a qualitative approach by using a narrative literature review. As for the study, it was noticed that Malaysia is not yet in favour of promoting transgender children, notably in educational settings. During their school times, the majority of transgender people in Malaysia including children are found to suffer a greater challenge, persecution and bullied. Hence, there are four aspects to be highlighted: development of the policy, educational system, school counsellors and Islamic Sexual Education in order to prepare transgender children in school.

The problem of drug use and crime worries many people as it threatens the well-being, harmony and security of the country and society. Over the years, this problem has been often associated with Malays compared to other ethnics. This study aims to identify the profiles and experiences of drug use and crime among Malay offenders. The study was conducted using a quantitative cross-sectional survey. A total of 301 Malay offenders who were charged for drug-related offences and serving their sentences in the Malaysian Prison Department were selected to participate in the study. The study has found that the majority of offenders involved in drug use and crime offences are young people aged 21-39 years old, unmarried, attained at least lower and/or upper secondary education SRP/SPM, employed prior to custody, and had income below than RM3,850 per month (B40). Based on their experiences of drug use, most offenders reported that they obtain drugs from the dealers and the average age of first drug use is between 30 to 35 years old. Methamphetamine is a popular drug used by majority of Malay offenders, and it is due to incredible enjoyment and peer pressure. The study also reported offenders spent between RM50 and RM100 to buy drugs in a day. Based on the experiences of crime, most of offenders reported to commit crimes at least twice a week and preferred to commit crime alone than in groups. The type of crime offences reported by most of Malay offenders are drug dealing, theft and burglary instead of drug use. Findings of this study have implications for the implementation of effective intervention and management offenders in terms of providing counseling services, skills, education, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation among offenders.

Authors: Yin Eng Li
Published: January 2022

The aim of this study is to look into the effects of Project Based Learning (PjBL) in speaking skill on vocational college non-native Mandarin learners. A quasi-experimental study was carried out on 43 Mandarin learners, in which 23 learners were in the experimental group while 20 learners were in the control group. The participants were selected using convenience sampling technique. An adaptation of Stoller model (1997) was applied in the experimental group interventions while the control group was involved in a conventional teaching approach. Speaking skill was analyzed using speaking pretest and speaking posttest, which looked into the component of accuracy, pronunciation and fluency. The speaking pretest and speaking posttest data were analyzed using t-test. The result of the findings showed that the improvement achieved by experimental group is higher and more significant compared to the control group. The finding of the research provides suggestion towards how teachers can apply PjPL in their teaching sessions based on the suitability of the topic they teach.

Authors: Vecinday Garrido María Laura , Carballo Perdomo Yoana Paola
Published: January 2022

Desde 1990 y hasta la actualidad, los programas de transferencia de renta condicionada se convirtieron en la opción predilecta de muchos Gobiernos de América Latina para responder a los problemas de la pobreza. Estos programas propiciaron un conjunto de reformas al interior del Estado y de la Administración pública. Este artículo examina cómo su introducción estuvo acompañada de procesos concomitantes tales como la emergencia de una nueva institucionalidad en el campo social, un conjunto novedoso de requerimientos de gestión y el aprovechamiento de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. El presente estudio emplea una metodología cualitativa y se apoya en las revisiones de bibliografía y documentos normativos, busca comprender las alteraciones institucionales y tecnológicas de la política socioasistencial en América Latina. Se destacan la diversidad de reformas permanentes del Estado y la persistencia de una orientación gerencial anunciada en 1998 por el Consejo Latinoamericano de Administración para el Desarrollo (CLAD) que predomina con relativa independencia al signo ideológico de los Gobiernos de turno.
