A Study on the Optimal Magnetic Beam Forming of Coil Arrays for Long Distance Wireless Power Transmission
Authors: Oh Myeong-Jun , Danuor Patrick , Jung Young-Bae
Published: June 2023

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless power transfer (WPT) technology which employs multiple transmitter (TX) coils to simultaneously couple power to the receiver (RX) coil has proved to be an effective technique to enhance power transfer efficiency (PTE). Conventional MIMO-WPT systems rely on the phase-calculation method based on the phased-array beam steering concept to constructively combine the magnetic fields induced by the multiple TX coils at the RX coil. However, increasing the number and distance of the TX coils in an attempt to enhance the PTE tends to deteriorate the received signal at the RX coil. In this paper, a phase-calculation method is presented that enhances the PTE of the MIMO-WPT system. The proposed phase-calculation method considers the coupling between the coils and applies the phase and amplitude to calculate the coil control data. From the experimental results, the transfer efficiency is enhanced as a result of the transmission coefficient improvement from a minimum of 2 dB to a maximum of 10 dB for the proposed method as compared to the conventional one. By implementing the proposed phase-control MIMO-WPT, high-efficiency wireless charging is realizable wherever electronic devices are located in a specific space.
Adaptive Clustering of Users in Power Domain NOMA
Authors: Santos Yuri P. , Silveira Luiz F. Q.
Published: June 2023

By enabling multiple non-orthogonal transmissions, power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) potentially increases a system’s spectral efficiency. This technique can become an alternative for future generations of wireless communication networks. The efficiency of this method fundamentally depends on two previous processing steps: an appropriate grouping of users (transmission candidates) as a function of the channel gains and the choice of power levels that will be used to transmit each signal. Thus far, the solutions presented in the literature to address the problems of user clustering and power allocation do not consider the dynamics of communication systems, i.e., the temporal variation in the number of users and the channel conditions. In order to consider these dynamic characteristics in the clustering of users in NOMA systems, this work proposes a new clustering technique based on a modification of the DenStream evolutionary algorithm, chosen for its evolutionary capacity, noise robustness and online processing. We evaluated the performance of the proposed clustering technique considering, for simplicity, the use of an already widely known power allocation strategy called improved fractional strategy power allocation (IFSPA). The results show that the proposed clustering technique can follow the system dynamics, clustering all users and favoring the uniformity of the transmission rate between the clusters. Compared to orthogonal multiple access (OMA) systems, the proposed model’s gain was approximately 10%, obtained on a challenging communication scenario for NOMA systems since the channel model adopted does not favor a large difference in the channel gains between users.
Remora Namib Beetle Optimization Enabled Deep Learning for Severity of COVID-19 Lung Infection Identification and Classification Using CT Images
Authors: Shanthi Amgothu , Koppu Srinivas
Published: June 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has seen a crucial outburst for both females and males worldwide. Automatic lung infection detection from medical imaging modalities provides high potential for increasing the treatment for patients to tackle COVID-19 disease. COVID-19 detection from lung CT images is a rapid way of diagnosing patients. However, identifying the occurrence of infectious tissues and segmenting this from CT images implies several challenges. Therefore, efficient techniques termed as Remora Namib Beetle Optimization_ Deep Quantum Neural Network (RNBO_DQNN) and RNBO_Deep Neuro Fuzzy Network (RNBO_DNFN) are introduced for the identification as well as classification of COVID-19 lung infection. Here, the pre-processing of lung CT images is performed utilizing an adaptive Wiener filter, whereas lung lobe segmentation is performed employing the Pyramid Scene Parsing Network (PSP-Net). Afterwards, feature extraction is carried out wherein features are extracted for the classification phase. In the first level of classification, DQNN is utilized, tuned by RNBO. Furthermore, RNBO is designed by merging the Remora Optimization Algorithm (ROA) and Namib Beetle Optimization (NBO). If a classified output is COVID-19, then the second-level classification is executed using DNFN for further classification. Additionally, DNFN is also trained by employing the newly proposed RNBO. Furthermore, the devised RNBO_DNFN achieved maximum testing accuracy, with TNR and TPR obtaining values of 89.4%, 89.5% and 87.5%.

Published: June 2023

Autonomous technologies are increasingly used in various areas of science. The use of unmanned vehicles for hydrographic surveys in shallow coastal areas requires accurate estimation of shoreline position. This is a nontrivial task, which can be performed using a wide range of sensors and methods. The aim of the publication is to review shoreline extraction methods based solely on data from aerial laser scanning (ALS). This narrative review discusses and critically analyses seven publications drawn up in the last ten years. The discussed papers employed nine different shoreline extraction methods based on aerial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data. It should be noted that unambiguous evaluation of shoreline extraction methods is difficult or impossible. This is because not all of the methods reported achieved accuracy, the methods were assessed on different datasets, the measurements were conducted using different devices, the water areas differed in geometrical and optical properties, the shorelines had different geometries, and the extent of anthropogenic transformation. The methods proposed by the authors were compared with a wide range of reference methods.
Cascaded Degradation-Aware Blind Super-Resolution
Authors: Zhang Ding , Tang Ni , Zhang Dongxiao , Qu Yanyun
Published: June 2023

Image super-resolution (SR) usually synthesizes degraded low-resolution images with a predefined degradation model for training. Existing SR methods inevitably perform poorly when the true degradation does not follow the predefined degradation, especially in the case of the real world. To tackle this robustness issue, we propose a cascaded degradation-aware blind super-resolution network (CDASRN), which not only eliminates the influence of noise on blur kernel estimation but also can estimate the spatially varying blur kernel. With the addition of contrastive learning, our CDASRN can further distinguish the differences between local blur kernels, greatly improving its practicality. Experiments in various settings show that CDASRN outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both heavily degraded synthetic datasets and real-world datasets.

Published: June 2023

Eliminating extreme poverty and reducing poverty levels among marginalized groups are essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Despite broad national-level studies on multidimensional poverty, there is a lack of specific research focusing on marginalized groups, particularly ethnic minorities. This study aims to identify the multidimensional poverty status and determinants of poverty among ethnic farmers in Thua Thien Hue province, Central Vietnam, based on a survey of 283 respondents. The Alkire–Foster method was utilized to measure multidimensional poverty, and a binary logistic regression model was applied to identify the determinants of multidimensional poverty among farmers. The results showed that about 33.57% of households are in multidimensional poverty. The deprivation in the six poverty dimensions was inconsistent, with income at 68.23%, education and health at 9.69%, housing at 7.19%, information access at 3.65%, and living conditions at 1.56%. Nine factors significantly affect the multidimensional poverty of ethnic minority households, including the age of household heads, family size, number of shocks, labor, farm size, tropical livestock units (TLUs), customers, traded input values, and training participation. Diversifying livelihood activities, building the infrastructure system to have closer access to central markets and main roads, and enhancing the capacity of farmers to cope with shocks are necessary solutions to reduce the multidimensional poverty of ethnic minorities in Central Vietnam.
Carbon Emissions and National Sustainable Development Goals Coupling Coordination Degree Study from a Global Perspective: Characteristics, Heterogeneity, and Spatial Effects
Authors: Yang Wenli , Feng Langang , Wang Zuogong , Fan Xiangbo
Published: June 2023

While the environmental issues resulting from carbon emissions are widely recognized by the public, there is a lack of in-depth research on whether controlling carbon emissions will have an impact on social development at the national level. In this study, we used panel data from 166 countries worldwide from 2005 to 2020 to construct coupled coordination models, panel regression models, and spatial Durbin models to assess the impact of carbon emissions on the coupled coordinated development of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in different countries around the world. This study is the first to investigate the features, heterogeneity, and spatial effects of carbon emissions on the SDG coupling coordination degree. We found that: (1) Globally, the SDG coupling coordination degree was generally low from 2005 to 2020. Despite the slow improvement in the global SDG coupling coordination degree over the past 16 years, it has always been in a barely imbalanced transitional development state. At the same time, there was a phenomenon of “high-income > high–middle-income > low–middle-income > low-income” difference in the SDG coupling coordination development level among countries of different income types. (2) Carbon emissions have a significant promoting effect on the SDG coupling coordination degree for low-income and low–middle-income countries while having a significant inhibitory effect on the SDG coupling coordination degree for high–middle-income and high-income countries. In addition, the impact of carbon emissions on the SDG coupling coordination degree also exhibits regional heterogeneity. (3) Carbon emissions have a significant spatial spillover effect on the SDG coupling coordination degree, with a positive promoting effect on the SDG coupling coordination degree in one’s own country and a significant inhibitory effect on the SDG coupling coordination degrees of neighboring countries. Our research can help decision-makers develop targeted carbon reduction plans to avoid social development losses caused by controlling carbon emissions in a crude manner. Our research findings provide crucial evidence for the formulation of international policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, in order to avoid the inequities that may result from the adoption of extreme carbon reduction policies.

Published: June 2023

Purpose of the study: The objective of this study is to analyze the role of job satisfaction on the as the mediating role between job stress and turnover intention of restaurant employee.
Design: The research adopt quantitative method with survey. Questionnaire was distributed face to face to all 16 employees of John & James Resto located in Green Lake City Jakarta and Bumi Serpong Damai Tangerang. Likert scale was employed to 30 measurement items in order to test three research hypotheses that later analyze using path analysis.
Findings: Employee job stress negatively influence job satisfaction, while job satisfaction on the other hand, also negatively influence turnover intention. However, the mediating role of job satisfaction has no positive effect on job stress and employee turnover intention. Job satisfaction acts as a perfect mediation based on direct effects and indirect effects. This means that after being mediated by job satisfaction, when job stress increases, turnover intention does not immediately increase because there are job satisfaction factors that make the desire to leave work decrease.
Research Limitations/ Implications: This research was limited to only one particular restaurant brand. Thus, it can be implied to similar business model which are small to medium size capacity, self- managed, dan local market based, that in turn in light the way to reduce employee turnover could be managed through employee job stress and employee job satisfaction.
Novelty/ Originality of the study: This research contribute to the literature of human resources by using different measurement scale combining from several references to measure job satisfaction and turnover intention that specified for hospitality context.
Positions de classe sur les variations de prix ou effets de l' « Europe verte » ou du « Kennedy Round » sur la distribution des revenus
Authors: Kolm Serge-Christophe
Published: June 2023

Le sujet ]e plus célèbre de l'Economie politique est l'effet des prix des produits sur les prix des facteurs — et donc sur la distribution du revenu entre les classes sociales. C'est toujours un problème d'une importance capitale. Que peut-on dire de général à son sujet, ne serait-ce qu'en économie qualitative, c'est-à-dire concernant les sens des variations seulement ? Le modèle d'équilibre général permet théoriquement de le résoudre, mais c'est largement une boite vide : il donne très peu de résultats si sa structure n'est pas spécifiée plus avant. Or l'une de ces structures, semi-agrégée (trois facteurs et trois produits), est très courante et donne des conclusions extrêmement importantes. C'est celle où il y a trois secteurs : une industrie, une agriculture pauvre et une agriculture moderne, qui utilisent, respectivement, la première du capital et du travail mais très peu de terre, la seconde de la terre et du travail mais peu de capital, la troisième de la terre et du capital mais relativement peu de main- d'œuvre. Cette structure suffit à déterminer sans ambiguïté les directions des effets des variations des prix des produits sur ceux des facteurs. Si tous les prix agricoles varient ensemble relativement aux prix industriels, les directions des effets sur les salaires et les profits sont toujours opposées l'une de l'autre, et elles dépendent de ce que la part relative de la terre dans les coûts est plus grande pour telle des deux agricultures que pour l'autre. On étudie ensuite l'effet des prix des produits sur les revenus réels : l'élasticité du prix d'un facteur à celui d'un produit doit être diminuée de la part relative de celui-ci dans la consommation de la classe sociale correspondante. Enfin, on donne des ordres de grandeur et des exemples numériques pour le cas de l'Europe actuelle.

Tipping the Balance on Winter Deicing Impacts: Education Is the Key
Authors: Dietz Michael
Published: June 2023

Winter deicing results in substantial export of road salts to fresh waters and causes numerous ecological problems. Extension faculty and other educators at the University of Connecticut implemented New Hampshire's Green SnowPro program, a voluntary training program for salt applicators. University of Connecticut facilities staff applied 3,479 fewer metric tons of salt to campus in the 2 years after the educational training, equating to a cost savings of $459,251. Substantial environmental and economic benefits can be realized in northern climates if Extension and other educators rally behind this program.

Published: June 2023

Leaf litter decomposition is one of the main ecological material cycle processes in waterfront areas. In this microcosm experiment, the rate of decomposition of the most frequently occurring dominant waterside plants were examined in the summer months of 2022 in a class “A” evaporation pan, using litterbag technique. The study provides information about the decomposition dynamics of willow (Salix sp.), poplar (Populus sp.), reed (Phragmites australis) and different leaf litter mixture combinations. Dry mass, exponential decay coefficient and the chemical parameters of the water (pH, conductivity, NH4+, PO43-, SO42-) were determined during the 84 days long experimental period. The weight loss curves showed negative exponential pattern in every case. On average, the different samples lost ~ 57% of their initial dry mass during the experimental period. The largest mass loss was measured in case of poplar (67.2%), while reed leaves had the smallest mass loss (47.25%). Based on the results, it cannot be proven, that mixed leaf litter accelerates the rate of decomposition.
Leaf reflectance characteristics and yield of spring oat varieties as influenced by varietal divergences and nutritional supply
Authors: Bytyqi Bekir , Kutasy Erika
Published: June 2023

Inadequacy of nutrients in the soil and sufficient inaccessibility to nutrients is caused by factors that affect production and productivity of spring oat varieties. Exogenous application of nutrient and real time nutrient assessment can therefore reverse these associated negative consequences. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of spring oat varieties to sulphur and silicon based fertilisation. Eight spring oat varieties, four level of nutrient application was arranged in a split-plot design with three replications. The obtained results showed that foliar application of sulphur improves the grain yield of most nutrients responsive varieties by about 34.7%. However, application of silicon had shown a diminishing return association to grain yield of variety GK Kormorán, GK Pillangó, Lota, Panni. LAI, thousands grain weight, SPAD, NDVI was significantly (p < 0.05) influenced by genetic difference of the tested varieties, developmental plasticity, and nutrient application. Significantly higher grain yield was obtained from the variety Mv Pehely than the other tested varieties. Therefore, it could be inferred that a combined use of nutrient responsive spring oat varieties and sulphur containing fertilisers could be important agronomic practice to improve grain yield and to develop climate resilient oat varieties.
new model for predicting carbon storage dynamics and emissions related to the waste management of wood products: introduction of the HWP-RIAL model
Authors: Király Éva , Börcsök Zoltán , Kocsis Zoltán , Németh Gábor , Polgár András , Borovics Attila
Published: June 2023

The ability of wood products to store carbon allows for their significant contribution to the climate mitigation efforts and the emission reduction commitments set by the EU. In order to optimise the carbon storage capacity of wood products, it is important to take climate mitigation aspects into consideration as much as possible during their production, use and waste management. The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of product development, recycling, and waste management technologies on carbon storage and emissions. In the frame of the ForestLab project, a new model and decision support tool was developed, which is able to predict the duration of carbon storage of wood products and the evolution of emissions from them. The developed HWP-RIAL model (Harvested Wood Product Recycling, Incineration And Landfill model) uses the methodology of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to calculate emissions, which is also used in the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory report. It combines the IPCC waste model with equations describing the carbon storage and emissions of wood products, and the model is also supplemented with a self-developed recycling and waste routing module. This paper provides insight into the operation of the model by following the life cycle of 200,000 m3 particle board.

Adipose browning has demonstrated therapeutic potentials in several diseases. Here, by conducting transcriptomic profiling at the single-cell and single-nucleus resolution, we reconstituted the cellular atlas in mouse inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue (iWAT) at thermoneutrality or chronic cold condition. All major nonimmune cells within the iWAT, including adipose stem and progenitor cells (ASPCs), mature adipocytes, endothelial cells, Schwann cells, and smooth muscle cells, were recovered, allowing us to uncover an overall and detailed blueprint for transcriptomes and intercellular cross-talks and the dynamics during white adipose tissue brown remodeling. Our findings also unravel the existence of subpopulations in mature adipocytes, ASPCs, and endothelial cells, as well as new insights on their interconversion and reprogramming in response to cold. The adipocyte subpopulation competent of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) antigen presentation is potentiated. Furthermore, a subcluster of ASPC with CD74 expression was identified as the precursor of this MHCII
+
adipocyte. Beige adipocytes are transdifferented from preexisting lipid generating adipocytes, which exhibit developmental trajectory from de novo differentiation of amphiregulin cells (Aregs). Two distinct immune-like endothelial subpopulations are present in iWAT and are responsive to cold. Our data reveal fundamental changes during cold-evoked adipose browning.

At the present stage, the digitalisation of public relations is actively introduced into all spheres of society, which leads to qualitative changes. The basis of this process is the formation and dissemination of new models of work, including in the activities of the prosecutor's office. An employee of the prosecutor's office, as a subject of state power, in its professional activities cannot remain aloof from the system of modern technologies using which, the prosecutor is able to skillfully implement the powers granted to it in practice, achieve effective results in ensuring the rule of law, protecting human rights and freedoms and citizen, the legitimate interests of society and the state, excluding a formal approach to achieve these goals. The article considers the issue of using information systems in the activities of the prosecutor's office, namely the state automated system of legal statistics (hereinafter referred to as GAS PS), the transition to electronic document management. The current problematic aspects of the opportunities provided by the GAS PS as a tool for non-supervisory activities of the prosecutor's office are named, and specific proposals for their solution are given. The author concluded that the issues of optimising approaches to the use of the GAS PS in prosecutorial activities are topical, which can qualitatively increase the efficiency of fulfilling the tasks and achieving the goals of the prosecutor's office, arising from the requirements of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and enshrined in the relating Federal Law of the Russian Federation.

Published: June 2023

This article is devoted to the current issue of legal informing the population through the media. At the present stage, information law is in its infancy and this explains such a variety of terms with the use of which, experts try to determine its content. The article analyses the concepts of various approaches to the definition of the concept of ‟information law”. The main subjects of legal regulation in information law, as well as information relations as a basis in information law, are determined. The connection of information law with the mass media is argued. Applying the main idea of defining the institutions of information law, based on the analysis, the author formulates the category of ‟the institution of legal informing the media”. Particular attention is paid to the concept of legal culture, as the degree of maturity, education of a person, its way of thinking and norms of behaviour in the legal sphere. The content of the legal culture of society is determined, which includes the legal awareness of a person; its beliefs and attitudes in the field of law enforcement; the nature and level of legal activity, as well as legal behaviour. From the foregoing, the author comes to the conclusion that it is advisable to determine the place of legal informing the media in the system of law as a legal institution in the field of information law.

Published: June 2023

Introduction. One of the main areas of application of SPR sensors is biochemical analysis. The "Plasmontest" device, developed at the Institute of Cybernetics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, was used for rapid diagnosis of various concentrations of the tumor marker spermine. Colloidal gold nanoparticles stabilized by sodium citrate were used as a sensitive layer for the detection of biogenic polyamines as markers of prostate cancer development. Two methods of conducting an experiment on spermine detection using colloidal gold nanoparticles are proposed. The purpose of the paper is to show the possibility of detecting the tumor marker spermine in different concentrations using the "Plasmontest" device. To solve this problem it is necessary to provide a series of experiments on the application of colloidal gold solutions with different methods of deposition of reagents. The results. With the help of the "Plasmontest" software and technical complex, a series of biochemical experiments were carried out using solutions of spermine in the concentration range of 50 nM - 500 nM and colloidal gold in a concentration of 3·10-4 M. Two methods of applying reagents were proposed: spermine – colloidal gold and colloidal gold – spermine. Both techniques made it possible to observe a shift in the SPR angle, which means the adsorption of spermine on the surface of a gold film with colloidal gold nanoparticles. Conclusions. It is shown that the developed software and technical complex "Plasmontest" allows monitoring the course of biochemical reactions at low concentrations of the investigated reagents. Studies of the possibility of detecting spermine in different concentrations in the presence of gold nanoparticles using the PPR method open the prospect of creating a biosensor for spermine. Keywords: surface plasmon resonance, biosensor, nanoparticles, spermine.
A Literature Review on the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Accounting Teachers: Perspective of Government Colleges in Bangladesh
Authors: Awal Md. Rabiul
Published: June 2023

Teachers’ Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a highly discussed issue nowadays worldwide due to its significant role in upholding the professional skills of the faculties. Continuing professional development (CPD) is easy to recognize but relatively difficult to define. Because of its formal and informal practices, the scope and concept of the CPD surround theoretical and empirical controversy. Dissimilar concepts of formal training and in-service learning make the issue more confusing. However, Day’s (1999) definition of CPD covers each behavior that aims to bring changes in the classrooms. In Bangladesh, teachers’ continuing professional development (CPD) is yet to get appropriate attention from teachers, institutional authorities, and education policy planners.

Туберкулез сомножественной и широкой лекарственной устойчивостью является глобальной проблемой здравоохранения. В Республике Беларусь, несмотря на резкое снижение заболеваемости в последние годы, число случаев туберкулеза со множественной лекарственной устойчивостью остается достаточно высоким: одна треть вновь диагностированных пациентов с туберкулезом и две трети пролеченных пациентов имеют форму со множественной лекарственной устойчивостью. Сложность эпидемиологической ситуации обусловливает высокие требования к качеству лабораторной диагностики туберкулеза, стандартизации исследований, использованию современных диагностических технологий – автоматизированных диагностических систем, молекулярно-генетических исследований. В статье представлен анализ использования молекулярно-генетических методов (Xpert MTB/Rif, LineProbeAssay) в лабораторной диагностике туберкулеза в сравнении с фенотипическими методами: с использованием автоматизированной системы ВАСТЕС MGIT 960 и классических методов исследования. Анализ проводился на основании данных обследования пациентов с туберкулезом, находившихся на лечении в Республиканской больнице ИУ «ИК № 12» за период с 2012 по 2021 год.

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis is a global public health problem. Despite a sharp decline in morbidity in recent years in the Republic of Belarus, the number of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis cases remains quite high: one third of newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients and two thirds of treated patients present a multidrug-resistant form. Challenging epidemiological situation determines high requirements for the quality of tuberculosis laboratory diagnostics, tests standardization, for use of modern diagnostic technologies, i.e. automated diagnostic systems, and molecular and genetic testing. The article presents an analysis of molecular genetic methods (Xpert MTB/Rif, LineProbeAssay) applied in laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis compared with phenotypic methods: by using ВАСТЕС MGIT 960 automated system and conventional testing methods. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the findings of medical examination of tuberculosis patients who were treated at the Republican Hospital of the Correctional Institution "Correctional Facility No. 12" for the period from 2012 to 2021.

Que nous apprend le concours de l’OVE sur la façon dont la recherche aborde la vie étudiante ?
Authors: Rey Olivier
Published: June 2023

La condition étudiante est un objet de recherche qui s’est développé depuis les années 1990 en France. À travers les prix du concours de l’Observatoire de la vie étudiante, qui récompense chaque année un mémoire ou une thèse, cet article identifie les principales caractéristiques et évolutions des recherches portant sur les questions étudiantes ces vingt dernières années. Il montre à la fois la récurrence d’interrogations classiques sur la question des inégalités dans l’enseignement supérieur, des problématiques en construction sur la réussite étudiante et une attention nouvelle à la diversité des situations et des populations constitutives de l’expérience étudiante. L’intérêt des informations capitalisées par l’OVE, mais aussi leur caractère insuffisamment structuré pose des questions quant à la place de cet organisme au sein du paysage institutionnel de l’enseignement supérieur.
