Authors:   Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai,Tamil Nadu, India, Angeline C V Nisha , S Muthuramalingam
Published: May 2022

An assembly line is a place where materials are put together and processed to check if the end product meets the quality standards. One of the biggest challeng-es faced by the manufacturing sector is quality management. Any newly built product is prone to have surface defects like scratches or dents or paint errors which might happened during the process of manufacturing and transportation. Currently such quality checks are being done manually using Human Vision. Now with the advent of IoT and Deep Learning techniques, we could build an anomaly detection system that recognize defects on the surface of the system by capturing photographs of the Automobile in the assembly line and sends it to an image processor system for validation. We were able to detect defects with 90% and above accuracy with the existing detection algorithms.

Published: May 2022

Image watermarking for copyright protection has become a widely studied subject with the sprawl of pirated content. A color, a monochrome – gray scale or a binary may be a watermark. The insertion of watermarks may be performed in a video domain unencoded or encoded. A robust technique of digital video watermarking using machine learning approach is based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is proposed. Using the properties of hybrid transformations, robust features and robust zero watermarks can be extracted from videos can be built. Experimental findings show that the proposed algorithm is robust in high-efficiency video coding attacks with various parameters of quantization due the fast processing of frames. Regular image processing assaults, geometric attacks, frame-based attacks, and hybrid attacks can all be thwarted by this approach. Comparatively, the suggested video watermarking method can more accurately and completely recreate watermarking pictures.

Human eye is a complex mechanism that enables us the sense of vision. Retina, being one of the most important layers of eye, in any case gets affected, leads to severe visual impairment and sometimes loss of vision too. Retinopathy of Prematurity (RoP), being a by birth condition in untimely children? wherein an anomaly is available in the retinal layers and the related veins. Ultrasonic B – Scan is the prominent diagnostic tool used to identify RoP. Effective, Early and Simplified diagnostic and imaging tools aid the Ophthalmologists for an accurate diagnosis and work towards the prevention of vision loss. In this paper, RoP images of Oculus Dextrusand Ocular Sinister – Left eye in severe stage are considered for filtering and noise removal. Wavelet denoising of B-scan images is performed through Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and with different thresholding such as Global thresholding. Then, the location of prematurity in retina is found out, in comparison with the healthy retina. An optimum thresholding level is fixed, which is followed by the calculation of statistical mean, variance and standard deviation. This model helps to find out the abnormality of retina, the location and severity in mathematical terms. The denoising of the distorted images is found to be potential enough in achieving the effective diagnosis in the case of RoP in children.

Role of Financial Sector Development in the Nexus Between Inclusive Growth and Poverty: A Regional Comparative Analysis from Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Olayiwola Abiodun S. , Akinbobola Temidayo O.
Published: May 2022

The problem of poverty in the developing countries and what makes Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) a region with the “highest number of poor people” in the world remains a topical issue that requires serious research attention. Following extant studies, in which the mediating role of financial sector development has not been taken into consideration in their finance- growth and poverty nexus, this study deviates by using two measures of poverty level: absolute and multidimensional poverty level; and at the same time provides comparative analyses at SSA sub-regional communities. Our findings reveal that the effects of inclusive growth on poverty reduction (both absolute and multidimensional level), for most sub-regions in SSA except Central African countries, are positive. While the mediating role of financial sector development appeared to be slightly different with mixed results. In West and Central African countries, the mediating role of the financial sector, though very weak, complements theinclusive growth effects on poverty reduction. On the contrary, financial sector development does not complement inclusive growth when it comes to poverty reduction in South African countries. Also, financial sector development does not complement the absolute poverty reduction effect of inclusive growth in the East African sub-region but the result is otherwise under multidimensional poverty reduction. Therefore, we recommend that financial sector development in most SSA countries should be improved upon through relevant monetary policy that promotes financial innovations, financial sector reforms, efficiency in financial inclusion across the region, and at the same time efforts should be geared toward directing some of the gains in financial sector development to inclusive growth-enhancing activities in southern African sub-region
The Resource Class: Measuring Economic Inequality in Resource Curse States
Authors: Arbucias Daniel
Published: May 2022

This work conducts a comparative analysis on how diamonds and petroleum produce differing types of economic inequality in resource curse states, contributing to institutional entropy. By arguing for the causal primacy of resources in types of eventuated curses, this approach posits the concept of a “resource class” in diamond- and petroleum-producing resource curse states. Strength tests of resource classes against a variety of independent variables finds that petroleum-based resource classes funnel revenues to fewer, more powerful individuals than diamond-based classes, at the expense of currency stability, equal opportunity for women and minorities, and competing interest groups. Conversely, diamond resource classes tend to be more egalitarian, yet a negative correlation is observed between the market economy and diamond production among cursed states.

Published: May 2022

Cancer is a major public health concern in both developed and developing countries. Anticancer activity refers to the ability of natural and synthetic, biological and chemical agents to revert, stop, or halt carcinogenic progression. To treat the ailment, several synthetic pharmaceuticals are utilised, but they have negative effects, thus researchers are investigating into plant-derived chemotherapeutic treatments. Enhalus acoroides, a member of the Hydrocharitaceae family, is found along the southeast coast of India and the tropical western Pacific. Hydroalcoholic extract of Enhalus acoroides inhibits the proliferation of Liver cancer and Breast cancer. The cell viability was analysed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, which shows that Hydroalcoholic extract of Enhalus acoroides significantly reduced the growth with IC50 value for HepG2 as 112.20μg/ml    and MCF-7 as 101.60μg/ml. Hence the results of current study conclude that Hydroalcoholic extract of Enhalus acoroides is a potent anticancer drug that can be utilized for the treatment of Hepatocellular cancer and Breast cancer.

Published: May 2022

Monitoring and controlling industrial machinery is one of the best methods to prevent equipment breakdown. Industrial machines normally break down when the voltage or current goes low or high. With Industrial monitoring, we can ensure that the access is controlled, and the products are of higher quality. With this method, we can control access, improve productivity, and ensure high-quality results when manufacturing industrial products. In today's technological era, remote monitoring and control have become commonplace in industries using connectivity techniques such as ZigBee, RF,and Infrared. Due to their slow communication speeds, long distances, and weak data security, these wireless communication techniques are generally limited to simple applications. Additionally, they are easily affected by noise and bad weather conditions, such as snow, fog, and rain the present project proposes to use LoRa (long-range) technology to implement a new solution for the traditional monitoring and control of industrial applications using high-quality communication and high security.

Authors: Sundaram C. Kalyana , Gayathri S , Soundarya P
Published: May 2022

ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) signal analysis is critical since it is a reliable approach for detecting neurological brain diseases. In this work, the artifacts in the EEG dataset are removed using the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) technique. The EEG dataset was then filtered with a band-pass filter to eliminate noise. In this work using a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to deconstruct the filtered data, the EEG signal features are recovered. The features are also supplied into four separate classifiers. Five statistical techniques are utilised to extract characteristics from EEG sub bands: Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Standard Deviation (SD), Variance, Kurtosis, and Shannon Entropy (SE). To classify the features related to their classes Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are four classifiers that use the features.The overall classification accuracy approaches 90.5% using SVM, 99% using ANN, 87.5% using LDA and 97% using KNN respectively. In this work ANN gives better performance accuracy than other classifers.

"El que es perico, donde quiera es verde" Manejo de estrés de maestros en contextos desafiantes en El Salvador
Authors: Schmalenbach Christine , Roos Stefanie
Published: May 2022

La docencia como profesión conlleva muchos factores estresantes, especialmente cuando se ejerce en contextos adversos como los de vecindarios de alto riesgo en El Salvador. Durante un estudio etnográfico en una escuela de un barrio de alto riesgo en El Salvador, los maestros describieron las estrategias que usaban para lidiar con esa circunstancia. Sus comentarios fueron analizados por medio de codificación abierta y el desarrollo de categorías. Luego fueron examinadas a la luz del marco transaccional de Lazarus y Folkman. Entre otras estrategias, el afrontamiento por medio de construcción de significado parece relevante, como la fe en Dios. Por otro lado, una meta mínima parece ser lograr una conciencia limpia después de haber tratado todo lo que parece posible. Sin embargo, cuando un docente llega a la conclusión de que ha intentado todo lo posible demasiado temprano, Esto  puede frenar el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias y relaciones de apoyo mutuo. Capacitaciones e ideas para el desarrollo escolar sobre autoeficacia y apoyo social parecen prometedoras.

Triple Surgical Fixation Technique for an Isolated Greater Trochanter Fracture in an Amateur Weightlifter
Authors: Sanderson Brent , Washburn Frederic , Allison Daniel
Published: May 2022

Isolated greater trochanter fractures have been infrequently described in the literature and are typically managed conservatively. Functional strength after injury to the abductor complex can be markedly affected resulting in a Trendelenburg gait and overall abductor weakness. We present a case of a 35-year-old athlete who underwent surgical fixation because of notable fracture displacement and function debility. This case vignette demonstrates the importance of using all available interdisciplinary orthopaedic surgery literature to provide a patient-specific surgical construct. Our patient benefitted from arthroscopic, arthroplasty, and trauma evidence-based medicine to successfully treat his displaced greater trochanteric hip fracture. Successful surgical fixation was enhanced by combining three different methods of fixation: osteosynthesis with partially threaded screws and washers (DePuy Synthes), suture anchor (Arthrex) direct fracture approximation and tendon reinforcement, and a knotless double-row suture bridge (Arthrex) tension band construct. The patient was able to return weightlifting at 4 months postoperatively with no evidence of weakness or trendelenburg gait.

Published: May 2022

Introduction:

Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is a well-known orthopaedic manifestation in patients with myelomeningocele. The rib-based growing system (RBGS) has been proposed as an alternative for these individuals because of the poor outcomes with traditional surgical techniques. We aimed to describe the effect of RBGS in patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the Pediatric Spine Study Group Multicenter Database for all patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele treated with RBGS from 2004 to 2019. Demographics, surgical data, radiographic findings, and postoperative complications were obtained. The quality-of-life parameters were assessed postoperatively using the Early-onset Scoliosis Questionnaire-24.

Results:

Thirty patients (18 women; 60%) were patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele treated with RBGS. The mean age at the initial surgery was 5.3 years. The thoracic (T1-T12) spine height showed a significant increase from initial surgery to the most recent follow-up (P < 0.001). Spine (T1-S1) height was also significantly increased (P < 0.001). The postoperative complication rate was 87%. The Early-onset Scoliosis Questionnaire-24 demonstrates significant improvements in the quality-of-life scores (P = 0.037).

Conclusion:

This study demonstrated that RBGS could improve the reported quality-of-life scores in patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele when assessed with an EOS-oriented tool. Moreover, we confirmed the ability of RBGS to hold or even correct spinal deformity.

Teacher affective support and student engagement are both fundamental to making the educative process meaningful in distance learning environments. This study assessed the levels of perceived teacher affective support and cognitive and psychological engagements among Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students enrolled in online, modular, and blended distance learning modalities. The study also examined the relationship between the respondents’ perceived teacher affective support and cognitive and psychological engagement. Descriptive research design and correlational method were used in the study. A total of 401 STEM students from a public senior high school in the Santa Cruz district, Province of Laguna participated in the study. Two self-report instruments were used and administered in the study. Results showed that respondents’ perceived teacher affective support was to a very great extent. Cognitive engagement among the respondents was similar to a very great extent, while data showed that participants’ psychological engagement was at a great extent. Pearson’s test of correlation revealed that the respondents’ perceived teacher affective support is significantly correlated to cognitive engagement. Likewise, the study also demonstrated a significant relationship between perceived teacher affective support and psychological engagement. The data indicate that teacher affective behaviors correlate with student engagement in distance learning experiences. The findings of the study may provide a framework for educators and administrators in flexible learning modalities and alternative delivery modes.

Creating a positive psychosocial learning environment (PsLE) that holistically considers the learners’ needs is vital to optimizing learning productivity in Science. This study investigates the Science learning environment as perceived by the students in actual Science classes. Anchored on the three PsLE dimensions namely: relationship, personal development, and systems maintenance and change, it tracks for alignment of the current Science teaching and learning practices to the expectations of the Kto12 Science curriculum standards. A survey method was done to gather the students’ perception ratings based on a 5-point Likert scale (with 5 as most indicative) using the adapted established learning environment instruments, namely, the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey, the Individualized Classroom Environment Questionnaire, and the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory. The data was collected from 105 Grade 10 students in one of the provinces in Central Visayas, Philippines, and treated statistically using descriptive statistics to get the mean percentage score and standard deviation. Results showed a high perception rating of the scales in the relationship dimension with a mean perception score (MPS = 3.7, SD= 0.36) and least in the personal development dimension. The specific scales that are of low perception include independence, open-endedness, shared control, and differentiation. These findings bear implications for potential interventions for the improvement of Kto12 Science teaching. Re-tooling the teachers with professional development training is a practical move that can be undertaken by the school leadership. Some concrete teaching practices anchored on the PsLE framework are discussed for the enhancement of Kto12 Science teaching.

In this global health emergency and challenging situation, understanding teachers’ perception of the quality of life must be substantially taken into consideration. This quantitative descriptive research examined the senior high school teachers perceived worth of their life, both in private and public schools in Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines. Similarly, it analyzed significant differences between the extent of perceived life value and the respondents’ profile variables. One-hundred-fifteen (115) faculty were selected using a random sampling technique. Data were drawn from the adapted quality of life questionnaire (α=.93), prepared, and gathered online thru google form. Data analysis was carried out using percentage, mean, t-test, and ANOVA. The study found out that majority of SHS teachers were aged 21 – 40 years old, are female, with basic entry-degree, and have been teaching for about 1 to 10 years. It was revealed, that amidst the pandemic, teachers were highly satisfied with the social support and relationship they have with their family, relatives, friends, and colleagues. Likewise, they feel somewhat delighted with their physical and psychological well-being, work and time-related activities, and their overall views on life. Furthermore, no significant differences were established between the perceived level of quality of life of teachers when grouped according to their demographic profile. Based on the findings, a HEART (Holistic Empowerment and Aptitude Recalibration for Teachers) program is proposed that was affirmed and endorsed through an online focus group discussion.

The study was an attempt to determine the effects of metacognitive strategies on integrated science process skills. The learning modalities of the respondents as accommodators, convergers, divergers, and assimilators and their initial level of Integrated Science Process Skills were identified. The Integrated Science Process Skills were controlling variables, defining operationally, formulation of hypotheses, interpretation of data, experimentation, and formulation of models. Using an experimental design of research, it involved the 72 Grade 11 students in San Bartolome Integrated High School, San Pablo City during the Academic Year 2019-2020. Survey questionnaires for learning modalities, integrated science process skills test and metacognitive instructional plans were utilized to gather the data. Results revealed that there was a significant difference in the pre and post-test scores within the PLAN group in terms of all the integrated science process skills of the learners while controlling variables and formulation of hypotheses were not significantly different for the RT group. For the difference of pretest scores between groups, no significant differences were noted and all skills were different except for controlling variables and formulation of models for the post-test scores difference.
