Reducing smart contract runtime errors on the Ethereum blockchain
Authors:   , Jumnongsaksub Siwapol
Published: April 2023

With smart contracts, a wide range of applications can be implemented on blockchains. Ethereum stores smart contract byte code with the smart contract ad-dress so, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) can read and execute transactions correctly. All executed transactions (both successful and failed transactions) are stored on the platform permanently. Failed transactions are thrown by the EVM due to runtime errors and result in monetary waste. The waste from these transactions add up to around 2 million Ethers or $634.2 million. In this thesis, we propose Evitar, a warning algorithm for reducing Ethereum smart contract runtime errors, which has two mechanisms. First, Evitar proposes that users send transactions with
the maximum gas allowed to avoid Out of Gas errors. However, this results in an extremely high transaction fee when transactions fail. Second, Evitar analyzes transactions called to each method in smart contracts and marks a method as a method with a high failure rate if the number of failed transactions reaches Evitar’s threshold. This mechanism prevents users from sending and paying for transactions that are likely to fail. We run experiments to evaluate the performance of Evitar by replaying transactions in a private network. The results show that Evitar can reduce failed transactions up to 99.52% compared to sending under default behaviour in exchange for a reduction in successful transactions by 1.78%. The amount of gas used by Evitar is only one-tenth compared to sending under default behaviour. Sending transactions with the maximum gas in Evitar reduces Out of Gas errors by 99.25%. In addition, Evitar can save up to 15.04 GB (82.32%) of storage in the Geth default node and 50.09 GB (50.09%) in the Parity full archive node.

Authors:   , Kointarangkul Nattakorn
Published: April 2023

Wagyu beef originated in Japan. However, there are many types of Wagyu beef in the market around the globe. Primary sources include Australia, USA, Canada and the United Kingdom. The authentic Japanese Wagyu is well known for its intense marbling, juicy rich flavor and tenderness. Observing that there are differences in flavor, texture, and quality between distinct sources of Wagyu. This research presents an AI-based approach to identify Wagyu beef sources with image classification. The input images were collected from reliable sources on the internet and augmented with DCGAN. Deep neural networks, CNN, was constructed to detect the marbled fat patterns of two sources, Japanese Wagyu and Australian Wagyu. The prediction of Wagyu sources achieved high accuracy of 94.2%. Further experiment was conducted for multi-classification with the additional source of the US wagyu. The object detection model was trained using Region-based CNN, R-CNN, providing the prediction accuracy of 79.8%. The learning models of Convolutional Neural Networks were found to be promising methods for the rapid characterization of the unique patterns of marbled fat layers. These classifiers would benefit the customers for buying Wagyu beef at reasonable prices.
Predicting football match result using fusion-based classification model
Authors:   , Pipatchatchawal Chananyu
Published: April 2023

Over the last decades, various football experts and researchers around the world seek to forecast football match result. Although there are multiple types of prediction models constructed for this purpose, most of them still depends on integrating in-game statistical numbers, such as number of successful passes in one game. This kind of information has huge positive impact on predicting outcome but is not desired as it requires the match to finish first. Thus, this thesis aims to propose more accurate models, which are not relied on in-game numbers. Two forms of fusion-based classification models are proposed in this study, including hierarchical model and ensemble model. Player and team ratings from video games are incorporated to assist in match prediction. Experiments are designed to compare the proposed models with six traditional classification models, by measuring accuracy with data sets collected from English Premiere League (EPL) competition, from season 2010/2011 to 2015/2016. Accurate rates achieved by both models are at 56.533% and 56.800% by using a total of 36 features, which are all superior to comparative models with similar environment.
Thai traffic sign classification system
Authors:   , Namyang Nattapol
Published: April 2023

Nowadays, driving assistance technology is continuously developed to serve a comfortable and safe driving experience for the driver. The traffic sign is an important feature to improve the ability of this technology. However, in general, the traffic sign has various structures and details in each specific country for a clearly understanding purpose. Thus, this thesis aims to propose the classification and recognition system for the Thai traffic sign. In this study, the classification process provides the ability to categorize the Thai traffic sign into four classes by using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) classifier with the combination of two descriptor features that are the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Color Layout Descriptor (CLD) feature. In this proposed classification technique, it is able to reach the accuracy up to 93.98%. Besides, this study also presents the recognition process to recognize the type of each traffic sign. This process using two main techniques: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Normalized Correlation Coefficient (NCCoef) template matching to predict the real meaning of each sign in their class after classifying them.
Implementation of traffic engineering with segment routing and opendaylight controller on emulated virtual environment next generation (EVE-NG)
Authors:   , Aung Htain
Published: April 2023

Internet service providers and enterprise networks face rapid changes and rapid growth of the internet, and the networks become complex in operations to support the strict Service-level Agreements (SLAs) needed applications. Segment Routing (SR) is a source routing technology that overcomes the conventional Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks’ drawbacks in scalability, flexibility, and applicability in Software-defined Networking (SDN). SR enables the source device to instruct the path using a segment or list of segments to go through the network. SR can be implemented in IPv6 and MPLS. A segment can be defined as information that instructs SR capable nodes to execute on the incoming packet. In SR, the packet header has enough instruction for packets to traverse from source to destination. So, SR does not need separate signaling protocols and does not maintain the path state in the intermediate routers.

As the default forwarding of SR, equal-cost multi-path (ECMP), can cause higher maximum utilization of links in the network, ECMP is avoided, and strict SR paths are used. This thesis studies ILP models in the paper [1] to evaluate traffic engineering performance in SR networks and enhance the integer linear programming (ILP) model, which forces to choose among only shortest paths to reduce the maximum utilization. This thesis compares the results of the ILP models of [1] and the proposed enhanced version. Results show that we can achieve the maximum utilization as nearly as the proposed model of [1]. As the Segment List Depth (SLD) to be appended to form a strict SR-TE path introduces the packet overhead, we also reduce the number of SLD to be appended. Finally, we will develop an application to implement our proposed enhanced ILP model in an emulated environment using commercial routers, SDN controller, and Postman.
Power loss minimization with second order cone programming relaxation
Authors:   , Chuppawa Akira
Published: April 2023

The minimization of power loss in distribution systems is very important to increase the reliability and performance of the system. Therefore, this thesis determines power loss minimization in a power system. The active power loss can be minimized by the alternating current optimal power flow (ACOPF) under the limits of power generations, bus voltages, and distribution lines. The general ACOPF problem is computationally intractable in practice owing to the nonlinear objective function and nonlinear constraints. Accordingly, the conventional ACOPF is a nonconvex and NP-hard optimization problem. To address this difficulty, this work develops the computation of the ACOPF by applying second order cone program (SOCP) relaxation. Then, the ACOPF problem is a convex optimization problem. In addition, power system devices, such as distributed generation (DG) or static var compensator (SVC) can vary power loss in the system. Consequently, this work analyzes the appropriate site DG and SVC with optimal size to reduce power loss in distribution line. The proposed work was applied to MATPOWER test systems. The results show that all system parameters do not violate the system limits. The total generated power can supply the total load demand sufficiently. A near-global solution can be discovered. Furthermore, power loss is reduced when DG and SVC are installed with the optimal size at the proper site.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Authors: Makwana Khushi
Published: April 2023

In general, intellectual property rights relate to a collection of intangible assets held and legally protected by an individual or corporation from outside use or implementation without approved approval, such as invention, creativity, and contributions to the relevant area of expertise. The economic process, financial incentive, and motivation for advanced innovations engrained in the appropriate legal protection of Intellectual Property Rights demand expert, guided, and constantly updated assistance in the field of Intellectual Property Rights. With the tremendous rate of technical, scientific, and medical innovation that we are experiencing today, intellectual property has become increasingly crucial. Furthermore, developments in the global economic climate have had an impact on the creation of business models in which intellectual property is a key component in building value and prospective growth. Several new intellectual property legislations have been passed in India in order to fulfil international commitments under the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. As a result, intellectual property has become one of the world's largest and fastest-growing disciplines of law, necessitating the need for specialists to deal with IP. Copyright is a broad sphere that encompasses innovations, creations, intellectual products in print, audio-visual, sign & symbol, and digital formats. Copyright is a tremendous stimulant for the social media industry, which is full of invention and innovation. Media platforms, including social media, employ creative ideas, pictures, sounds, scripts, and a variety of other tools and ways of communication for professional, commercial, and individual aspirations. All of these forms, which are generated by individuals and businesses with rigorous efforts in design, research, and development, need a significant expenditure. These projects were built through the dedication of one’s time and money has yielded a profit to the creators and it has become a source of encouragement for everybody.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN INDIA AND SWEDEN ON THE INSTITUTION OF OMBUDSMAN
Authors: Ann Santosh Sneha
Published: April 2023

The term ombudsman connotes an institution which exists to represent grievances. Accordingly, it refers to an office established by the constitution or by the Legislature and an independent high-level public official, who is responsible to the Legislature or Parliament and responsive to citizens is the head of such office. The concept of Ombudsman first originated in Sweden in 1809. The word “Ombud” in Swedish means representative, agent, or intermediary. The gradual spread of the idea began after a decade when Denmark, Norway and New Zealand adopted the institution. The reason why such a notion was implemented, because the existing machineries such as the courts, administrative agencies and other government bodies proved fruitless to the voice of the public, and to combat this situation a special individual who can particularly look into such matters was required, who primarily solved citizen’s complaints against the bureaucracy.

JURISDICTION OF CRIMES ON BOARD
Authors: SUDHAKAR APOORVA
Published: April 2023

We have often viewed various Media that depict various criminal activities occurring on board Planes. However, much like most popular media, a large amount of misinformation about such activities and any jurisdiction that may govern them have been caused as a direct result. The paper attempts to simplify and clarify exactly who holds the jurisdiction to trial over any crimes committed on board Aeroplanes. Much like with crimes committed aboard sea vessels in the high seas, it is often assumed that the captain, or otherwise highest ranked Individual is considered the ultimate authority in such cases. Such misconceptions need clarification, and this paper will attempt to do so. The main question and purpose of this paper, will be to simplify, and attempt to answer specifically exactly what jurisdiction exists that may cover any crimes committed on board aeroplanes. Much of the legislation on the topic is contained within the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, Signed at Tokyo, on 14 September 1963, Popularly known as the Tokyo Convention of 1963. The need for such a convention was in response to the wave of hijackings in 1958 where aircrafts were hijacked and used to divert to the US and vice versa in the 1961 wave of Hijackings there was a wave of diversions of aircraft from the United States to Cuba. To prevent further aircraft diversions, the Legal Committee of the ICAO met in Rome in 1962 to draft a convention on the subject of crimes committed on board an air-craft in international flight. This draft known as the Rome Draft was submitted to the States of the world for comment and a diplomatic conference was convened in Tokyo in the year 1963 for final approval.

MANAGING HUMAN-TO-HUMAN APPROACH WITH NO HUMANS PRESENT: A LOOK INTO POLITE FORMS OF ADDRESS IN SOFTWARE LOCALIZATION
Authors:   Alfa BK University, Parezanović Tijana
Published: April 2023

Using examples extracted from the author’s work on software localization i n the field of automobile industry (English translated into Serbian Serbia locale), this presentation centres on the issue of polite forms of address. Since software localization relies on the resources from linguistics, business and marketing, and informa tion technologies, politeness is considered in relation to all three aspects: 1) as an important element of human to human approach to marketing, whereby 2) the use of personal pronouns has to be taken into account considering the differences between Engli sh and Serbian, and contextualized within 3) the largely impersonal process of localization itself. The analysis of the examples aims at defining certain patterns which could potentially facilitate practical work in this branch of translation studies.

Medicinal plants contain numerous biologically active compounds such as minerals which have physiological actions on the human body. This work was designed to analyse the mineral composition of Datura stramonium (D. stramonium) leaf and seed extracts. Dry leaves and seeds of D. stramonium were pulverized. The powdered sample was used for the extraction using 98% ethanol. Standard methods were used in the determination of the mineral contents. The study result showed the order of trace minerals composition of D. stramonium leaves and seed were as follows: Fe>Cu>Mn>Zn>Ni>Co and Cu>Fe>Zn>Mn>Ni>Co, respectively. The result showed higher value of trace minerals in D. stramonium leaves than the seed. There were significant difference (p<0.05) in the trace elements levels of the leaves and seeds with the leaves having higher mineral levels than the seed. The result also showed that macro minerals of D. stramonium leaves and seed were in this order: Mg>Ca>K>P. D. stramonium leaves had higher quantities of macro mineral than the seeds. D. stramonium leaves and seed used for this study have proved to be very important in drug research and development, because of the mineral composition that are present in appreciable amount. These minerals could contribute to the various pharmacological attributes of this plant. However, further research is necessary to determine other bioactive constituents present in this plant and their mechanism of action. Keywords: Minerals, Datura stramonium, trace elements, macro mineral, medicinal plants, active compounds.
Literature od Serbian immigrant in Australia 1941-1991
Authors: Rajšić Svetislav
Published: April 2023

The first written records about Serbian people in the land of Australia are dated around 1860, but during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, there were very little data about this community, even in their land of emigration, and also in their homeland. This article will try to note and identify some members of the Serbian emigration community from 1941 to 1991 who became authors of various literary types in the Serbian language. They tried to express themselves in their first language, about their feelings, homesickness, their thoughts about life, and their political opinion. Their endeavor in literacy mostly stayed unknown to people in the former Yugoslavia, as well as in Serbia, because most of them were considered political dissidents. The Serbian Academy of Science and Arts made the first bibliography of Serb authors in Australia and their work in 2002. This article lists six more authors and two publishers and their works that were previously unknown.

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between baseline skeletal muscle measurements, acute toxicity (immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome [ICANS], cytokine release syndrome), and treatment efficacy in patients undergoing CAR T-cell therapy for B-lineage lymphoma. Patients and Methods: Skeletal muscle measurements were obtained from automated CT measurements in 226 consecutive patients who received CAR T-cell therapy between 2015 and 2021. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to examine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 1-year. Multivariable regression was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals, adjusted for covariates. Results: The median age of the cohort was 63.1 years (range, 18.5–82.4 years), and most patients were male (66%) and had primary refractory disease (58%). Patients with abnormally low skeletal muscle at baseline were at greater risk of ICANS (HR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.05–2.87) and had longer length of hospitalization (mean 27.7 vs 22.9 days; P<.05) compared with those with normal muscle mass. Abnormal skeletal muscle was independently associated with risk of disease progression (HR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.11–2.57) and worse survival (HR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.49–4.00) at 1 year compared with normal skeletal muscle. Individuals who had abnormal skeletal muscle and high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels at baseline had poor 1-year PFS (17%) and OS (12%) compared with those with normal skeletal muscle and LDH levels (72% and 82%, respectively; P<.001). Patients who had abnormal skeletal muscle and LDH levels had a 5-fold risk (HR, 5.34; 95% CI, 2.97–9.62) of disease progression and a 10-fold risk (HR, 9.73; 95% CI, 4.81–19.70) of death (reference: normal skeletal muscle, normal LDH), independent of prior lines of therapy, extent of residual disease at time of CAR T-cell therapy, functional status, or product. Conclusions: This information can be used for risk stratification prior to CAR T-cell therapy or to implement prehabilitation and nutritional optimization before lymphodepletion as well as thereafter. These efforts will be complementary to ongoing efforts toward sustained efficacy after CAR T-cell therapy.
HER2 Targeting in Esophagogastric Cancer: Redefining the Landscape and Breaking Barriers
Authors: Cytryn Samuel L. , Janjigian Yelena Y.
Published: April 2023

HER2 is overexpressed in approximately 20% of esophagogastric cancer (EGC) cases. The addition of the anti-HER2 antibody, trastuzumab, to chemotherapy in 2010 was the first targeted treatment to demonstrate an improvement in survival. The aggressive nature and heterogeneous biology of EGC have posed a particular challenge and resulted in numerous negative trials without a change in standard of care for more than a decade. However, with the incorporation of dual HER2 and PD-1 blockade as well as the advent of a new, potent antibody–drug conjugate, trastuzumab deruxtecan, there have been 2 new FDA approvals for this patient population within the past 2 years. Consequently, the management and landscape of HER2-positive EGC is rapidly changing and increasingly optimistic.
Qualitatively speaking: Deciding how much data and analysis is enough
Authors: Sims D , Cilliers F
Published: April 2023

As I traverse my (post) doctoral journey, reworking my thesis into publications, I was immersed again in a debate around the utility of the concept of data saturation. I believe this debate to be emblematic of the process of unlearning and relearning that unfolded during my doctoral journey, coming from a biomedical sciences background into qualitative educational research.
The evolving role of research ethics committees in the era of open data
Authors: Mahomed S , Labuschaigne M L
Published: April 2023

While open science gains prominence in South Africa with the encouragement of open data sharing for research purposes, there are stricter laws and regulations around privacy – and specifically the use, management and transfer of personal information – to consider. The Protection of Personal Information Act No. 4 of 2013 (POPIA), which came into effect in 2021, established stringent requirements for the processing of personal information and has changed the regulatory landscape for the transfer of personal information across South African borders. At the same time, draft national policies on open science encourage wide accessibility to data and open data sharing in line with international best practice. As a result, the operation of research ethics committees (RECs) in South Africa is affected by the conflicting demands of the shift towards open science on the one hand, and the stricter laws protecting participants’ personal information and the transfer thereof, on the other. This article explores the continuing evolving role of RECs in the era of open data and recommends the development of a data transfer agreement (DTA) for the ethical management of personal health information, considering the challenges that RECs encounter, which centres predominantly on privacy, data sharing and access concerns following advances in genetic and genomic research and biobanking.
