Published: April 2023

Preventing systematic software failures is of paramount importance for any highly automatic vehicle control system, in particular for safety-critical AUTOSAR software. Among the most critical software defects are runtime errors like buffer overflows or data races. They may cause erroneous or erratic behavior, induce system failures, and constitute security vulnerabilities. Sound static analysis can be used to report all such defects in the code, or to prove their absence. It can also determine dependencies between software components and show freedom of interference without missing any data and control flow through data or function pointers. In the past, AUTOSAR projects often had to be decomposed or simplified to achieve satisfactory analysis time or memory consumption. Creating the analysis model, i.e., determining the tasks and ISRs to analyze, their priorities, synchronization, etc., required significant manual effort. In this article we present novel analysis concepts, developed in the Astrée analyzer, to support fully automatic integration analysis of AUTOSAR projects. The execution model is automatically derived from the ARXML specification. No changes to the software under analysis are required. All specified tasks and ISRs are analyzed assuming fully concurrent execution; runtime errors, data races and deadlocks are reported. Task priorities, core assignment, resources, spinlocks, and critical sections enclosed by primitives to disable/enable interrupts are automatically handled. To minimize false alarms, Astrée supports tuning the analyzer to the software under analysis by locally boosting analysis precision. We report on practical experience with real-life industry projects, giving an overview of alarm rates, analysis time and memory consumption, as well as reduction of false alarms by fine-tuning the analysis precision to the software under analysis.

Published: April 2023

Challenges that persons with disabilities face with current modes of transportation have led to difficulties in carrying out everyday tasks, such as grocery shopping and going to doctors’ appointments. Autonomous vehicles have been proposed as a solution to overcome these challenges and make these everyday tasks more accessible. For these vehicles to be fully accessible, the infrastructure surrounding them need to be safe, easy to use, and intuitive for people with disabilities. Thus, the goal of this work was to analyze interview data from persons with disabilities, and their caregivers, to identify barriers to accessibility for current modes of transportation and ways to ameliorate them in pick up/drop off zones for autonomous vehicles. To do this, interview subjects were recruited from adaptive sports clubs, assistive living facilities, and other disability networks to discuss challenges with current public transit stops/stations. Responses to questions were recorded and later analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to determine 1) common challenges with the current infrastructure around public transit and 2) the number of people who experienced each common challenge. Four challenges were mentioned by nearly every participant: timing or scheduling the transportation, uneven surfaces near the pick up/drop off zone, weather, and steep inclines around the pick up/drop off zone. Each challenge hampered the interview subjects’ ability to access their target vehicle and were mentioned by 90% of the subjects. These challenges informed solutions that could be applied to autonomous vehicle pick up/drop off zones and included on-site ride hailing mechanisms and enclosed, or at least covered, raised platforms with appropriately graded inclines. These solutions were explored using design software. Challenges with current transportation infrastructure were identified in this work, and their respective solutions can help ensure that future autonomous vehicles are accessible to persons with disabilities, a population for whom they have significant benefit.
A Sparse Spatiotemporal Transformer for Detecting Driver Distracted Behaviors
Authors: Wang Peng , Yin Zhishuai , Nie Linzhen , Zhai Xukai
Published: April 2023

At present, the development of autonomous driving technology is still immature, and there is still a long way until fully driverless vehicles. Therefore, the state of the driver is still an important factor affecting traffic safety, and it is of great significance to detect the driver’s distracted behavior. In the task of driver distracted behavior detection, some characteristics of driver behavior in the cockpit can be further utilized to improve the detection performance. Compared with general human behaviors, driving behaviors are confined to enclosed space and are far less diverse. With this in mind, we propose a sparse spatiotemporal transformer which extracts local spatiotemporal features by segmenting the video at the low level of the model, and filters out local key spatiotemporal information associated with larger attention values based on the attention map in the middle layer, so as to enhance the high-level global semantic features. Experiments are conducted on a public driver behavior detection dataset (Drive&Act), and the generalization ability of the proposal is evaluated with a dataset collected. Results show that the sparse spatiotemporal transformer devised in this study can obtain robust global semantic features via retaining key local spatiotemporal information while reducing the computational burden, and therefore achieves a high accuracy for the driver distracted behavior detection.
Semantic Segmentation with High Inference Speed in Off-Road Environments
Authors: Selee Bradley , Faykus Max , Smith Melissa
Published: April 2023

Semantic segmentation is an integral component in many autonomous vehicle systems used for tasks like path identification and scene understanding. Autonomous vehicles must make decisions quickly enough so they can react to their surroundings, therefore, they must be able to segment the environment at high speeds. There has been a fair amount of research on semantic segmentation, but most of this research focuses on achieving higher accuracy, using the mean intersection over union (mIoU) metric rather than higher inference speed. More so, most of these semantic segmentation models are trained and evaluated on urban areas instead of off-road environments. Because of this there is a lack of knowledge in semantic segmentation models for use in off-road unmanned ground vehicles. In this research, SwiftNet, a semantic segmentation deep learning model designed for high inference speed and accuracy on images with large dimensions, was implemented and evaluated for inference speed of semantic segmentation of off-road environments. SwiftNet was pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset, then trained on 70% of the labeled images from the Rellis-3D dataset. Rellis-3D is an extensive off-road dataset designed for semantic segmentation, containing 6234 labeled 1920x1200 images. SwiftNet was evaluated using the remaining 30% of images from the Rellis-3D dataset and achieved an average inference speed of 24 frames per second (FPS) and an mIoU score 73.8% on a Titan RTX GPU.
Development of an engineered face mask with optimized nanoparticle layering for filtration of air pollutants and viral pathogens
Authors: Nag Ishika
Published: April 2023

Face masks became a critical part of the personal protective equipment for front-line workers and the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies conducted during the pandemic have shown a strong positive correlation between COVID-19 mortality and air pollution. This project’s goals are to develop an engineered face mask with an optimized layering of nanoparticles to filter PM2.5 and viral pathogens, that is cost-effective, reusable, and clinically safe. The nanoparticles were selected based on their filtration, virucidal, and non-toxic properties. The experiment was designed with a wind-tunnel using vacuum pumps to simulate human breathing. The results indicate that particle filtration efficiency (PFE), tested with PM2.5 from incense sticks measured by laser particle detectors improved by ≈100% as compared to uncoated masks. Virus Filtration Efficiency (VFE), tested using nebulized NaCl particles as a virus surrogate, improved by ≈140% with nanoparticle coatings. The filtration efficiency was independent of the source of PM2.5. The nanoparticle retention efficacy was well within the permissible exposure limits per OSHA standards. An accelerated durability test demonstrated ≈95% effectiveness maintained over 4 equivalent days of wear. This multi-purpose, reusable mask can be effective in polluted cities, in fire-prone areas and can protect people against the deadly effects of viruses.

Authors: Yerimpasheva A. T. , Lipovka A. V. , Tarakbaeva R. E. , Zakirova A. A.
Published: April 2023

Despite the fight against gender inequality, this problem is still relevant in countries with economies in transition and requires further efforts. Conventional traditional gender stereotypes in the minds of people hinder the gender equality in almost all areas. At the same time, the consequences of gender bias on the economy and society remain insufficiently studied. The purpose of the study is to compare gender stereotypes in relation to the traditional distribution of responsibilities between men and women in the countries of Central Europe (CE) and Central Asia (CA). Two hypotheses were put forward, which were confirmed by the results of a regression-correlation analysis of secondary information on the Life in Transition Survey project, carried out by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in cooperation with the World Bank. The study's results will contribute to the pool of research on gender inequality and develop recommendations for adjusting social policies in states with transformational economies. The research methodology includes general scientific methods (positive and normative approaches) and applied methods (quantitative analysis). Based on the responses of three thousand four hundred five (3405) respondents from Central Asia and three thousand four hundred and sixty four (3464) respondents from Central Europe, a regression analysis was performed. The study results showed female respondents from Central Europe have weaker gender stereotypes than participants from Central Asia. The study's results will contribute to the challenge of generating employment growth, reducing vulnerable employment, and improving decent work opportunities in Central Asia.

Published: April 2023

The main employment trends are formed under the influence of structural transformations in the economy. The aim of this article is to determine the trends in the Kazakhstan labor market development in in the context of economy transformation over the past 10 years by studying the dynamics and structure of employment, depending on changes in the structure of republic’s gross domestic product. Generalization, comparison, economic-statistical (horizontal and vertical) and correlation analysis served as the main research methods. The statistical base of the study was the indicators of the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan on employment and gross domestic product by type of economic activity for 2011, 2016 and 2021. During the study, it was determined that there is a pronounced (noticeable) direct statistical relationship between trends in the labor market and trends in the structure of the economy. It was revealed that the trends in labor market development in Kazakhstan are determined and depend on the trends of change and transformation of the economy structure. During the period from 2011 to 2021, the country's economy was transformed, namely, the share of the tertiary sector increased. The same trend is observed in the labor market. Thus, wholesale and retail trade, transport and warehousing, real estate transactions account for almost a third of the country's GDP. At the same time, the number of people employed in these areas is a quarter of the total number of employed. These sectors account for the highest labor productivity rates along with the mining industry. Interest in the service sector on the part of employed Kazakhstanis is growing, while in agriculture, forestry and fisheries is falling. The results of the study can serve as a scientific justification for the implementation of an effective policy in the field of labor and employment.

Understanding the factors that influence students' perceptions may also assist administrators in making informed decisions about course and organizational design, as well as guiding professional development workshops for instructors. The goal of this sentiment analysis was to describe students' opinions about teachers' teaching performance in online classes. It sought to ascertain the most frequently occurring words in relation to their sentiments, as well as the emerging clusters derived from their sentiments. This study used a descriptive qualitative method employing sentiment analysis of Orange text mining software. Sentiment analysis extracts information from positive and negative words in text, from the context of those words, and from the linguistic structure of the text. The 237 college students were the participants of this study. The findings show that the emerging clusters derived from the sentiments of the students were the teachers facilitate learning and motivate students to learn. Teachers act as facilitator and motivator of students to learn in online classes. The teaching performance of the teachers can be manifested in how they facilitate the teaching-learning process and how they give feedbacks and motivations to students. Consequently, the teaching performance of the teachers in online classes is one of the indicators of the students’ sentiments. This implied that, once the teacher performed very well in the class, students become satisfied and perform better in the class.

Published: April 2023

Introducción: las guías de práctica clínica en diabetes mellitus (DM) establecen objetivos clínicos precisos sobre el buen manejo de la enfermedad, pero poco se sabe sobre el adecuado cumplimiento en nuestro medio. El sobrepeso y el sedentarismo han generado estigmas de síndrome metabólico en la población con DM1.Objetivos: evaluar el cumplimiento en cinco de dichos criterios: HbA1c <7%, c-LDL ≤100 mg/dl, actividad física ≥3 veces/semana, tensión arterial sistólica (TAS) <140 mm Hg y no tabaquismo, y su asociación con insulinorresistencia determinada por la tasa estimada de disposición de glucosa (TeDG).Materiales y métodos: en 415 DM1 ≥18 años, 52% mujer y una edad de 34,8±13,9 años, se evaluó HbA1c, c-LDL, frecuencia semanal de actividad física (AF) estructurada, TAS y tabaquismo actual. Se determinó el grado de asociación a género, edad, antigüedad de la DM, nivel de educación, cobertura médica, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y sensibilidad a la insulina medida a través de la TeDG. Las variables cualitativas se analizaron por test de chi2 y las cuantitativas por test de ANOVA I con post hoc por test de Tukey. Un valor de p<0,05 se consideró estadísticamente significativo. En todos los casos se utilizó un intervalo de confianza del 95%.Resultados: el 94,8% presentó TAS <140 mm Hg, el 82,2% no tabaquismo actual, el 56,5% c-LDL ≤100 mg/dL, el 39% AF ≥3 veces/semana y el 20,3% HbA1c <7%. Solo 26 pacientes (6,2%) alcanzaron en forma combinada los cinco objetivos analizados. El cumplimiento de dichos objetivos se asoció a nivel de educación secundaria o mayor (p=0,002) y cobertura de salud con obra social o prepaga (p=0,002). Hubo asociación significativa entre la TeDG en quienes cumplieron los cinco objetivos (p=0,02) y en forma individual en cuatro de ellos (TAS, c-LDL, HbA1c y AF).Conclusiones: de los 415 pacientes evaluados, el 6,2% cumplió los cinco objetivos. Solo el control de la TAS, no fumar y un c-LDL <100 mg/dL lo cumplió la mayoría de los pacientes. Una HbA1c <7% fue el objetivo individual que presentó menor grado de cumplimiento.

RNAi FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF INSECT PESTS: A REVIEW
Authors: Munawar Iqra
Published: April 2023

RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological mechanism that involves the inhibition of gene expression by the introduction of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules that are complementary to specific target genes. This technique has emerged as a promising strategy for the management of insect pests in crops. The application of RNAi to insect pest management involves the use of dsRNA molecules that are specific to essential genes in the target insect species. When these dsRNA molecules are ingested by the pests, they trigger a silencing mechanism that inhibits the expression of the target genes, leading to reduced pest populations and damage to crops. RNAi-based insect pest management has several advantages over traditional chemical-based methods, including its specificity, effectiveness, and environmental safety. However, there are still some challenges associated with the use of RNAi, such as the potential for offtarget effects and the need for effective delivery methods. Nonetheless, RNAi technology holds great promise for sustainable and effective management of insect pests in agriculture.

Ectopic extramammary Paget on the neck

Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare adenocarcinoma typically presenting as an erythematous plaque in sites with a high apocrine gland density, such as the anogenital skin and the axilla. It is rarely reported in cutaneous regions without apocrine glands, where it is classified as ectopic. To the authors’ knowledge, only 46 cases of ectopic EMPD have been reported, more frequently seen in Asians.

In this article, a remarkable case of ectopic EMPD arising on the neck of a 46-year-old Caucasian male patient is presented. Due to the non-specific clinic and the asymptomatic character, the diagnosis is often made late, which was also the case in this patient. The diagnosis is made on the basis of histological examination in combination with immunohistochemistry. Although the association with malignancy is not clear, additional imaging should be used to exclude underlying malignancy, as with EMPD. Surgical therapy is the golden standard of treatment.
A Literature Survey of Green and Low-Carbon Economics Using Natural Experiment Approaches in Top Field Journal
Authors: Wu Zhiyang , Zhao Yu , Zhang Ning
Published: April 2023

The last 20 years or so have witnessed the academic torrent of natural experiments in environmental and climate change economics, and we have attempted to document this particular and important branch of economics. This paper reviews theoretical and empirical research in this branch using natural experiment approaches in field-top journals, including economic and scientific journals. We have organized and categorized the related papers into five major dimensions: content, identification strategies, regions, data, and theoretical models and channels. Statistics have found that causal inference and channel analysis on environmental externalities and related governance have endured for 20 years. Until about 10 years ago, a major shift towards diversification of research was taking place, with energy and low-carbon development themes making their way into these journals on the one hand, and developing countries, led by China, attracting attention because of their political systems and other factors. Identification strategies have also become more rigorous, as reflected in the identification concerns (e.g., omitted variables, selection, and reverse causation). Lastly, we also observe that the deep exploration of internal mechanisms and the availability of all types of data have dramatically impacted the traditional paradigm of economics.

The purpose of this article is to develop a new salting composition for preserving sheepskins using whey. The main areas of research are experimental studies on the selection of preservatives, their dosage and methods of application to sheepskins; studies on the selection of antiseptics, their concentration of solutions and the dose of application to sheepskins; development of a new salting composition for preserving sheepskins; identification of the optimal ratio of the components of the preserving mixture. The article presents the results of the selection of preservatives and antiseptics for the treatment of sheepskins. The organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological properties of whey and antiseptics as components of the salting mixture were investigated. The optimal variant of the ratio of the components of the preservative mixture has been identified. It has been established that the use of serum and aldazan antiseptic makes it possible to enhance the effect of canning, reduce the consumption of sodium chloride, and reduce the growth of bacteria during short-term treatment. Generally accepted organoleptic, chemical and microbiological methods were used in the research. The results of the research will be used in the canning of sheepskins during the primary processing of animal skins. The practical significance of the work lies in the use by animal skin processing workshops of the improved technology of preserving sheepskins for their further processing and production into semi-finished leather and finished leather.

Race and Racism in Austen Spaces: Notes On A Scandal: Sanditon Fandom’s Ongoing Racism And The Danger Of Ignoring Austen Discourse On Social Media
Authors: Prescott Amanda-Rae
Published: April 2023

Sanditon fans have used social media more than many other past Jane Austen adaptations to discuss the series and to share news developments about the series. This was partially due to the COVID-19 pandemic preventing in-person marketing and fandom gatherings, but also due to some traditional Austen discussion platforms ignoring or banning pro-Sanditon discussions. White women from the UK and Europe dominated these online communities and set the tone for discussions of the plot as well as news about the series. BIPOC fans repeatedly clashed with white fans because the promises of an “inclusive” community were frequently dashed as soon as they disagreed with the predominant views of white fans.

ITV’s decision to reverse the cancelation of the series did not diminish these clashes, in fact, they have continued to increase. The second season is expected to premiere in 2022 in a different media climate than the first season. Not only has the long delay in production for the second season resulted in recasting several roles, but Bridgerton has also far eclipsed Sanditon in international popularity. Bridgerton has not only embraced contrasting and even anti-Austen aesthetics, but has also cast Black lead actors in their first season and South Asian lead actors in the upcoming Season 2. In light of these developments, BIPOC fans have pushed for Sanditon to expand Crystal Clarke’s role as Georgiana and diversify the cast and crew. The white fans who are interested in maintaining Sanditon as the anti-Bridgerton are pushing back in more subtle but still racist ways.

Jane Austen scholars, academics, and professionals are facing a four-fold danger: the undermining of existing DEIA efforts within traditional Austen spaces by white fans with no interest in doing this work; the risk of alienating the next generation of Austen professionals by ignoring social media as a platform for Austen and Austen-adjacent discussions; the exclusion of BIPOC Austen fans from online and traditional spaces; and the inability to influence or participate in discussions of pop culture adaptations of Austen works.

Introduction (problem statement and relevance). Ensuring safety of road vehicles is a relevant problem. It is particularly applicable to the road construction machinery. The paper presents an algorithm that allows obtaining the most accurate results of calculations according to the procedure described in GOST R ISO 3471 (ROPS): Earth-moving machinery. Roll-over protective structures. Technical requirements and laboratory tests.The purpose of the study is to investigate the stress-strain behavior (SSB) of a structure of a utility platform taking into account residual stresses, strains and relaxation of the structure under multiple loads according to the roll-over safety requirements for earth-moving machinery.Methodology and research methods. The paper presents a skid-steer loader cabin model created in a fi nite element analysis program to perform the strength calculations. The comparative assessment was performed based on the results of a full-scale experiment carried out on a real structure and of virtual simulations. The research object is a skid-steer loader cabin. The research subject is the design methods for vehicle load-bearing structures and their use taking into account operating conditions.Scientific novelty and results. An algorithm has been created which takes into account residual stresses, strains and relaxation of the structure for further loading and allowing reduction of a displacement calculation error for a utility platform from 84.5 to 4.5%. The internal energy reached under vertical load is 426% higher, while for the longitudinal load case it is 14.6% higher, than for the option not taking into account residual stresses and strains.Practical signifi cance. The proposed algorithm allows considering the requirements of GOST R ISO 3471 regarding prevention of structure readjustment or repair between loadings, which is an actual operating mode.

2022 has been a year of huge challenge for all Educational Institutions of Ukraine in terms of their ability to quickly organization of distance version of the educational process in connection with large-scale armed aggression russian federation against Ukraine with goal to destruction of Ukraine and its people. After February 24, 2022 when Russia-Ukraine war that began back in 2014 became the large-scale war and President of Ukraine announced of martial law, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (MD) and the Ministry of Education and Science (MES) of Ukraine recommended of all Educational Institutions of the country to use the distance learning technologies (DLT) for further continuation educational process. That’s why Institutions Higher Education (IHE) and Higher Military Educational Institutions (HMEI) of Ukraine actively use own developments and the best developments of the world’s leading companies which work in this direction (Google, Microsoft, ZOOM, Coursera, Udemy, edX, SpaceX, hp, Vodafone, Lifecell, Київстар, etc.) to improve the quality of distance learning in the conditions of the large-scale armed aggression russian federation against Ukraine. The wide opportunities of modern information technologies for the creation of simulation models of objects and processes (flash-animation, 3-D models, educational computer games etc.) allow visualization of information and make the content of the distance courses the most understandable and interesting for students and cadets. That’s why the task of researching the role of distance learning technologies in the organization of the educational process in Higher Educational Institutions of Ukraine in the conditions of the large-scale armed aggression russian federation against Ukraine is more relevant than ever [1-7].
