An improved deep learning architecture for multi-object tracking systems
Authors: Urdiales Jesús , Martín David , Armingol José María
Published: February 2023

Robust and reliable 3D multi-object tracking (MOT) is essential for autonomous driving in crowded urban road scenes. In those scenarios, accurate data association between tracked objects and incoming new detections is crucial. This paper presents a tracking system based on the Kalman filter that uses a deep learning approach to the association problem. The proposed architecture consists of three neural networks. First, a convolutional LSTM network extracts spatiotemporal features from a sequence of detections of the same track. Then, a Siamese network calculates the degree of similarity between all tracks and the new detections found at each new frame. Finally, a recurrent LSTM network is used to extract 3D and bounding box information. This model follows the tracking-by-detection paradigm and has been trained with track sequences to be able to handle missed observations and to reduce identity switches. A validation test was carried out on the Argoverse dataset to validate the performance of the proposed system. The developed deep learning approach could improve current multi-object tracking systems based on classic algorithms like the Kalman filter.
Weighted k-domination problem in fuzzy networks
Authors: Chen Xue-gang , Sohn Moo Young , Ma De-xiang
Published: February 2023

In real-life scenarios, both the vertex weight and edge weight in a network are hard to define exactly. We can incorporate the fuzziness into a network to handle this type of uncertain situation. Here, we use triangular fuzzy number to describe the vertex weight and edge weight of a fuzzy network G. In this paper, we consider weighted k-domination problem in fuzzy network. The weighted k-domination (WKD) problem is to find a k dominating set D which minimizes the cost f (D) : = ∑u∈Dw (u) + ∑v∈V\D min {∑u∈Sw (uv) |S ⊆ N (v) ∩ D, |S| = k}. First, we put forward an integer linear programming model with a polynomial number of constrains for the WKD problem. If G is a cycle, we design a dynamic algorithm to determine its exact weighted 2-domination number. If G is a tree, we give a label algorithm to determine its exact weighted 2-domination number. Combining a primal-dual method and a greedy method, we put forward an approximation algorithm for general fuzzy network on the WKD problem. Finally, we describe an application of the WKD problem to police camp problem.

An anisotropically diffusible fuzzy clustering based image segmentation methodology for intracranial cyst detection
Authors: Reeba Jennifer R. , Albert Raj A.
Published: February 2023

An Intracranial cyst is an abnormal growth of mass in the brain that affects functioning of the nervous system and so an early detection of the lesion enables to avoid adverse effects. The processing unit in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system performs reading the images followed by primary image enhancement to suppress distortions thereby enhancing the feature quality in terms of its intensity, augmenting the resolution by image segmentation, post-processing by thresholding based on grayscale values and performing several morphological operations. With the existing methodologies, extracting the Region Of Interest (ROI) with the overlapping intensity values lead to inaccurate results. A novel method in which the input image that is anisotropically diffused and blurred is converted into a sharp image. Further, fuzzy partitioning of pixels deployed on Global Thresholding –Clustering Methodology (GT-CM) based segmentation takes 4 clusters into account hence forth seperating the exterior portion of the skull, the border region of the skull, the ventricles which may include the lesion and the noise. Statistical results based on several metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, F measure, Jaccord Index, Dice Coefficient and precision show that the proposed method is far more effective. An accuracy of 99.26% is obtained in exactly locating and extracting the lesion along with its attributes.

Authors: Ma Hua , Tang Yuqi , Zhang Xuxiang , Zhu Haibin , Huang Peiji , Zhang Hongyu
Published: February 2023

An e-learning system should recommend learners appropriate learning resources according to their actual needs and cognitive status for improving their learning performance. To overcome the deficiencies of existing approaches (e.g., poor interpretability, limited efficiency and accuracy of recommendation), we propose a new recommendation approach to learning resources via knowledge graphs and learning style clustering. In this approach, the knowledge graphs of an online learning environment are constructed based on a generic ontology model, and the graph embedding algorithm and graph matching process are applied to optimize the efficiency of graph computation for identifying similar learning resources. By introducing learning style theory, learners are clustered based on their learning styles. Based on the clustering results, the learners’ degrees of interest in similar learning resources are measured, and the recommendation results are obtained according to the degrees of interest. Finally, the experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly enhances the computational efficiency and the quality of learning resource recommendation compared with the existing approaches in large-scale graph data scenarios.

Authors: Sathiyavathi V. , Thenmozhi R. , Sai Ramesh L. , Sabena S. , Selvakumar K.
Published: February 2023

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a self-constructed network consisting of spatially distributed nodes that cooperatively arrange themselves without any centralized manager or fixed based stations. In MANET, the nodes are deployed in a dynamic scenario, so, the nodes may fail as a result of energy depletion, hardware failure, communication link errors, and malicious attacks. Therefore, it is necessary to design energy-efficient fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols for MANETs. Since the development of Mobile Ad-hoc networks was originally motivated by military applications, such as battlefield surveillance and healthcare applications it is required to have a fast recovery mechanism to overcome the fault condition. In this research work, a fault-tolerant Routing mechanism is designed and implemented to address the fault conditions such as node failure, link failure, and critical battery issues called Fault tolerant cluster based AODV with Error Reporting Routing (CAODVERR) protocol, and to improve the stability of the MANET. Also, an Error reporting mechanism has been incorporated with the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol.
Effects on fractional domination in graphs

Published: February 2023

A graph G is an undirected finite connected graph. A function f : V (G) → [0, 1] is called a fractional dominating function if, ∑u∈N[v]f (u) ≥1, for all v ∈ V, where N [v] is the closed neighborhood of v. The weight of a fractional dominating function is w (f) = ∑v∈V(G)f (v). The fractional domination number γf (G) has the least weight of all the fractional dominating functions of G. In this paper, we analyze the effects on γf (G) of deleting a vertex from G. Additionally, some bounds on γf (G) are discussed, and provide the exactness of some bounds. If we remove any leaves from any tree T, then the resulting graphs are , where |l| is the number of leaves. Some of the results are proved by the eccentricity value of a vertex e (v).

Authors: Hemanand D. , Sridhar P. , Priya C. , Sathish Kumar P.J.
Published: February 2023

Wireless Sensor Networks are becoming increasingly popular in everyday life since they offer a variety of network structures for developing cutting-edge real-time applications. Wireless sensor devices have high energy consumption limitations, so it is necessary to handle excessive energy consumption by malicious nodes properly to improve network performance. Even though numerous studies have been conducted to increase the dependability of routing in WSNs, the existing routing strategies do not meet the required security constraints by using intelligent methods to protect the sensor nodes from malicious attack. To overcome this challenge a novel Trust Aware Clustering based Secure Routing Techniques (TAC-SRT) has been proposed to minimize the overall energy consumption, improved security to nodes and to maximize the network lifetime. The proposed method is carried out in three phases. In the first phase, the cluster head is selected by using K mean clustering. In the second phase, the trust value of each node is evaluated by using Mamdani fuzzy inference rule. In the third phase, the Tversky similarity index is used to find the normal or malicious node and establishes the shortest route. The Fully Homomorphic Elliptic Curve Cryptography technique is then used to perform secure data transmission. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is examined using several parameters, such as the lifetime of the network, data confidentiality, active nodes, and energy consumption. The proposed technique improves the network lifetime by 23.01%, 17.4%, and 13.2% better than MOSFA, SecDL, and CAR-MOSOA respectively. Finally, the proposed method demonstrated superior performance in terms of delay, throughput, encryption time, network lifetime, and packet delivery ratio compared with existing techniques.
Two-warehouse sustainable inventory models under different fuzzy environments with optimum carbon emissions
Authors: Parida Subhashree , Acharya Milu , Patnaik Srikanta
Published: February 2023

In the present era, the most delicate environmental issue is global warming, and because of this, countries across the globe are trying to manage the most hazardous emissions by making certain investments in projects to promote green industrial practices. The proposed study creates sustainable deteriorating inventory models in both crisp and fuzzy environments, with both cloudy and intuitionistic fuzzy considerations, where the demand is taken to be time-dependent. In the current study, the emission of CO2 from transportation is controlled by the optimum investments in green technology (GT). This work develops the previous research that has worked on a sustainable inventory system with controllable greenhouse facilities through green investment. The present research includes an optimum GT investment in an inventory system with two warehouses to restrict carbon emissions due to the transportation of goods from owned to rented warehouses and then to customers. To have control over the total cost, this work considers two warehouses to manage the stock-out conditions and represents models with shortages for crisp, cloudy fuzzy (CF), and intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) environments. A multiple prepayment option for the purchasing cost involving an installment is provided to the retailers. In the present research, we develop non-linear crisp and fuzzy deteriorating inventory models and suggest an algorithm for the solution process. Model problems are illustrated through numerical examples and validated through sensitivity analysis. A comparative inquiry is conducted for the optimum results obtained in all three cases.

Authors: Liu Sijia , Guo Zixue
Published: February 2023

The digital economy based on the new generation of information technology has increasingly become an important driving force for economic development, and it is of great practical significance to study the evaluation of the development level of the digital economy. On the basis of summarizing the connotation of the digital economy, the evaluation index system of digital economy development level is firstly constructed from four dimensions of digital infrastructure, digital industry, digital application level and digital innovation ability. Secondly, the combination weighting method of CRITIC-entropy method is used to weight the indicators. Thirdly, the evaluation model of digital economy development level based on grey correlation-VIKOR method is constructed, and the relevant data of 30 provinces in China in 2020 are taken as samples for empirical research. The results show that there is significant regional heterogeneity in the development level of digital economy in China. The development level of digital economy in eastern China is much higher than that in western China. The most important factor affecting the development level of China’s digital economy is the development of software industry. At the same time, digital innovation ability is also an important index to distinguish the development level of digital economy. Finally, corresponding policy suggestions are put forward in response to the problems in the development of China’s digital economy.
BGRF: A broad granular random forest algorithm

Published: February 2023

The random forest is a combined classification method belonging to ensemble learning. The random forest is also an important machine learning algorithm. The random forest is universally applicable to most data sets. However, the random forest is difficult to deal with uncertain data, resulting in poor classification results. To overcome these shortcomings, a broad granular random forest algorithm is proposed by studying the theory of granular computing and the idea of breadth. First, we granulate the breadth of the relationship between the features of the data sets samples and then form a broad granular vector. In addition, the operation rules of the granular vector are defined, and the granular decision tree model is proposed. Finally, the multiple granular decision tree voting method is adopted to obtain the result of the granular random forest. Some experiments are carried out on several UCI data sets, and the results show that the classification performance of the broad granular random forest algorithm is better than that of the traditional random forest algorithm.

Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Chronic pain conditions such as low back pain, knee pain and cervical pain are highly prevalent among female teachers. Chronic pain significantly affects the mental health, sleep and quality of life among teachers. OBJECTIVE: This study is intended to investigate the impact of a workplace yoga intervention on musculoskeletal pain, anxiety, depression, sleep, and quality of life (QoL) among female teachers who had chronic musculoskeletal pain. METHOD: Fifty female teachers aged between 25–55 years with chronic musculoskeletal pain were randomized to either the yoga group (n = 25) or the control group (n = 25). The yoga group received a 60-minute structured Integrated Yoga intervention (IY) four days a week for six consecutive weeks at school. The control group received no intervention. Outcome measures: Pain intensity, anxiety, depression, stress, fatigue, self-compassion, sleep quality, and quality of life were assessed at the baseline and six weeks. RESULTS: A significant (p < 0.05) reduction in pain intensity and pain disability in the yoga group was observed after 6-week compared to baseline. Anxiety, depression, stress, sleep scores and fatigues also improved in the yoga group after six weeks. The control group showed no change. Post score comparison showed a significant difference between the groups for all the measures. CONCLUSION: Workplace yoga intervention is found to be effective in improving pain, pain disability, mental health, sleep quality among female teachers with chronic musculoskeletal pain. This study strongly recommends yoga for the prevention of work-related health issues and for the promotion of wellbeing among teachers.
Theory of infrastructure: Impact of egoism manifestation by a therapist towards a patient in psychotherapy
Authors: Hozez Yaniv
Published: February 2023

This study aimed to relate three types of egoism satisfaction infrastructure in psychotherapy: a) the patient’s capability to understand what the therapist says at a given moment or the condition of the patient’s mental state in terms of their egoism stability, b) the self-esteem and confidence the therapist has accumulated through personal life experiences, and c) the therapist’s ability to either calm their patients down temporarily when the patient is not capable of listening and applying advice effectively or advise their patients objectively, even when the patient’s issue concerns their own egoism. In this article, I introduce possible scenarios in psychotherapy and analyze them for professional misconduct while also examining ethical dilemmas. Although the entire psychotherapeutic process is dedicated to the patient’s welfare, the efficacy of the psychological treatment method applied, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamics, can decrease significantly in the absence of a therapist’s proper egoism satisfaction infrastructure. The current study highlights the need for therapists to find ways to neutralize their egoism for the sake of maintaining the patient’s safety and confidence.
Population dynamics, plasma cytokines and platelet centrifugation: Technical and sociodemographic aspects of ‘ovarian rejuvenation’
Authors: Sills E Scott , Tan Seang Lin
Published: February 2023

While the advanced reproductive technologies have attained remarkable increases in sophistication, success, and availability since the 1980’s, a therapeutic impasse continues to be reached when ovarian reserve reaches exhaustion. Irrespective of fertility aspirations, the deterioration and eventual collapse of ovarian estrogen output means that menopause arrives with tremendous physiologic change and reduced overall productivity. Because more women are gaining in longevity or delaying age at pregnancy, the number of affected patients has never been larger. As concerns with standard hormone replacement therapy and limitations of IVF are confronted, a workable path to enable primordial germ cell recruitment and _de novo_ oocyte development would be welcome. Proof-of-concept case reports and clinical studies on autologous activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or its condensed cytokine derivatives suggest a way to facilitate these goals. But ovarian PRP faces vexing challenges which place ‘ovarian rejuvenation’ under caution as it enters this therapeutic space. Here we review key features of experimental human ovarian stem cell isolation/handling and reaffirm the need to harmonize laboratory protocols. Recognizing the regenerative science borrowed from other disciplines, specimen centrifugation, platelet processing, and condensed plasma cytokine enrichment are highlighted here. Because refinement of this rejuvenation approach would promise to reprogram adult ovarian physiology, disruption of established treatment paradigms for infertility, menopause, and perhaps overall women’s health seems likely. Emerging roles in reproductive biology and clinical practice are thus placed in a broader social and demographic context.

Published: February 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed all activities in various fields, including education. Learning that has long been done conventionally, has now been done completely online. This presents various impacts in its implementation. The purpose of this study was to find out the barriers faced by English teachers during online teaching in the pandemic. This research was conducted in one senior high school in Majalengka Regency, with three English teachers as samples. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. The research instrument were observation and interviews. The results showed that there were various problems that barriers the online learning process. These barriers are caused by internal and external factors. Where internal factors are problems that come from within the teachers themselves such as (1) teachers have difficulty in building character, (2) lack of knowledge about ICT, (3) teaching styles such as methods and media that teachers use (4) difficulties in building good classrooms. effective, which is caused by learning burnout and lack of interaction, and (5) lack of time. Then the obstacles contained in the external factors are the obstacles experienced by students which can become barriers for teachers in teaching online, including: (1) economic problems and (2) lack of support. It can be concluded that online learning still has various barriers in its implementation so that further research is needed to find a solution, then the learning can be carried out optimally.

INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS INTO THE BUDGETARY PROCESS IN THE WORLD AND UKRAINE: SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES AND PROPOSALS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Petlenko Yuliia , Pylypchuk Viktoriia ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
Published: February 2023

Over the past few decades, the issue of sustainable development has attracted great attention from researchers and policymakers alike. The Sustainable Development Goals are articulated in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and combine the economic, social and environmental pillars around addressing global challenges that have proven to be closely interlinked, from extreme poverty and armed conflict to gender inequality and climate change. The implementation of sustainable development policies depends to a large extent on national budget policies to support their implementation. Since budget documents are political, legal and economic instruments for policy implementation, the lack of connection between plans/strategies and the budget means the lack of implementation of these plans. The budget process can be a powerful tool to promote and support integrated approaches to the achievement of the SDGs. The UN also argues that it is crucial to integrate Sustainable Development Goals into the budgetary process. However, there is no unified approach or definitive instruction on how to implement Sustainable Development Goals in the budget process. Through a broad literature review, this study attempts to provide a holistic view and a fuller understanding of how the SDGs can be integrated into the budgeting process and how exactly this can be done using examples from several countries. A systematic literature review was conducted through a comprehensive review of scientific articles and reports by international organisations over the last five years. The results of the study show that there is scope for introducing the SDGs at all stages of the budgeting process. However, budget tagging of the SDGs or inclusion of elements of the SDGs in budget proposals is predominantly used. It is also found that the SDGs are predominantly integrated into sustainable development strategies and national development plans whilst SDG budgeting is still underdeveloped. Only a few dozen countries in the world use it in any way, while only a handful, notably Finland and Norway, can boast of best practices. This study will serve as a basis for future research and will have valuable implications for researchers and policymakers.
