Authors: Diraco Giovanni , Rescio Gabriele , Siciliano Pietro , Leone Alessandro
Published: June 2023

Smart living, a concept that has gained increasing attention in recent years, revolves around integrating advanced technologies in homes and cities to enhance the quality of life for citizens. Sensing and human action recognition are crucial aspects of this concept. Smart living applications span various domains, such as energy consumption, healthcare, transportation, and education, which greatly benefit from effective human action recognition. This field, originating from computer vision, seeks to recognize human actions and activities using not only visual data but also many other sensor modalities. This paper comprehensively reviews the literature on human action recognition in smart living environments, synthesizing the main contributions, challenges, and future research directions. This review selects five key domains, i.e., Sensing Technology, Multimodality, Real-time Processing, Interoperability, and Resource-Constrained Processing, as they encompass the critical aspects required for successfully deploying human action recognition in smart living. These domains highlight the essential role that sensing and human action recognition play in successfully developing and implementing smart living solutions. This paper serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to further explore and advance the field of human action recognition in smart living.

Authors: Lu Tingyu , Wan Luhe , Qi Shaoqun , Gao Meixiang
Published: June 2023

High-precision land cover maps of remote sensing images based on an intelligent extraction method are an important research field for many scholars. In recent years, deep learning represented by convolutional neural networks has been introduced into the field of land cover remote sensing mapping. In view of the problem that a convolution operation is good at extracting local features but has limitations in modeling long-distance dependence relationships, a semantic segmentation network, DE-UNet, with a dual encoder is proposed in this paper. The Swin Transformer and convolutional neural network are used to design the hybrid architecture. The Swin Transformer pays attention to multi-scale global features and learns local features through the convolutional neural network. Integrated features take into account both global and local context information. In the experiment, remote sensing images from UAVs were used to test three deep learning models including DE-UNet. DE-UNet achieved the highest classification accuracy, and the average overall accuracy was 0.28% and 4.81% higher than UNet and UNet++, respectively. It shows that the introduction of a Transformer enhances the model fitting ability.

Published: June 2023

(1) Background: A set of relevant police ergonomic parameters (PEP) have been used for the assessment and prevention of occupational risks involved in police physical interventions (PITs). Through this set of PEPs, a comparison has been made between two traditional PITs against two novel OTPs (operational tactical procedures). (2) Method: The data have been collected by means of a motion capture suit fitted with 19 inertial measurement units (IMUs). A specific and powerful software package specific for ergonomic analysis has been used to manage the large amount of data registered and to generate a series of three-dimensional plots. Traditional PITs and newer OTPs have been performed for their analysis. Specifically, the PEPs corresponding to the implementation of four PITs have been analyzed by collecting the measurements provided by a set of IMUs installed on a motion capture suit, and their occupational risk assessments have been compared against those corresponding to newer OTPs. (3) Results: For the four PITs, the PEPs have been analyzed with the measured values from the IMUs, throughout the duration of each technique. The two traditional intervention techniques have scored higher than the new OTPs in the REBA system, the asymmetry angle, L5-pelvis shear and joint contact forces, and the total muscle power measurements. (4) Conclusions: It has been confirmed that the new OTPs minimize the risk of injuries, since their PEPs reached lower values than those corresponding to the traditional PITs, which are still being taught at police academies.
Experimental Design Approach for Development of HPLC Method for Simultaneous Analysis of Triamcinolone, Nystatin, and Gramicidin in Industrial Wastewater
Authors: Elsharkawy Loubna , Hegazy Maha A. , Elgendy Ahmed E. , Ahmed Rasha M.
Published: June 2023

This study used an experimental design approach to optimize an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of three pharmaceutical residues (triamcinolone, nystatin, and gramicidin) in industrial wastewater samples. The goal of using an experimental design approach was to maximize the method performance through separation enhancement and shortening the time of analysis and/or minimizing the environmental effects through the reduction in wastes and sample treatment. To achieve this goal, two steps were performed: a full factorial screening design for the three chromatographic variables, and optimization design using central composite design to select the optimum conditions that accomplished the highest resolution between adjacent peaks within a minimum run time of less than 5 min. The optimal chromatographic conditions derived from Minitab software using the desirability function were applied. Separation was carried out on a Zorbax C18 column (250 mm × 4.6, 5 μm) with gradient elution of a mobile phase composed of methanol and 0.25 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 3.6) at different UV detections. For the validation of the developed HPLC method, ICH guidelines were followed, and the obtained results were found to be in compliance with the acceptance criteria. Linearity was over the concentration range of 1.00–25.00 μg/mL for triamcinilone and nystatin and 10.00–50.00 µg/mL for gramicidin. The proposed method was successfully applied to quantify the three studied pharmaceutical compounds in rinsing wastewater samples.

The objective of the research was to determine the effect of public services in the household on poverty in Peru, in the period 2021, for which a quantitative, non-experimental research approach was considered with a descriptive and correlational design. The information from the National Household Survey of the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) database was used, considering the modules “Dwelling and Household Characteristics”, “Household Members’ Characteristics”, “Education”, “Employment and Income”, “Household Equipment”, “Summaries (Calculated Variables)” and “Citizen Participation”. It was possible to determine that the following variables had negative effects on household poverty in Peru: access to potable water, sanitation, electric power, cell phone services; achieving higher, secondary, and primary education levels; having a washing machine, motorcycle, tricycle, motorcycle taxi, computer, kitchen, refrigerator in the household; having a property title; being part of an association or organization; living in a rural residence area; and having remittances. However, the number of household members had a positive effect on poverty. Therefore, it was concluded that access to public services in the household contributed to reducing the probability of being poor in Peru.
Only We Can Protect Us: Labor and Anti-Harassment Organizing within the Neoliberal University
Authors: O’Callaghan Erin , Shepp Veronica
Published: June 2023

This special issue has called for scholars to critically evaluate how we can better connect with community activists to address gender-based violence (GBV). We seek to complicate this by instead positing the following: scholars and community activists should be one in the same. The authors reflect on their experiences combining their anti-GBV and labor organizing to take on the neoliberal university. We detail our experiences organizing graduate workers around anti-harassment and discrimination, what we have learned, and make recommendations to other scholar-activists working in their communities. We end with a toolkit that is meant to be widely produced and shared within the community for a helpful guide to work towards direct actions to address gender-based violence.
Novel Fractional-Order Proportional-Integral Controller for Hybrid Power System with Solar Grid and Reheated Thermal Generator
Authors: Padiachy Vadan , Mehta Utkal
Published: June 2023

This paper presents a new fractional-order proportional-integral, (PI)λ (FO[PI]) type structure to investigate the load frequency control (LFC) problem. In the literature, some controllers’ extensive tuning options may slow or complicate the optimization process. Due to the intricacy of the tuning, even if there are fewer tuning parameters, a robust structure can be obtained. The (PI)λ structure deviates from the standard FOPI, integer PID, or PI-PD controllers with the same or fewer tuning parameters. The efficacy of a tri-parametric fractional-order controller is examined on a two-area interconnected hybrid power system comprising a photovoltaic (PV) grid and a Reheated Thermal Generator (RTG). In order to obtain optimal performance with lower control efforts, a novel dual-performance index is developed for the LFC problem. Various analyses are also proven to perform better than other optimized controllers from the recent literature. The presented scheme is significantly robust to disturbance interruptions, non-linearities, and parameter perturbations. It is also observed that there are no stability issues due to communication time delays. It is highlighted that the improvement can be obtained without adding complex structure or controller parameters.
Sustainable Approaches to Incorporate Plant-Based Biomaterials in Power Generation
Authors: Ruiz-Gonzalez Antonio , Wang Mingqing , Haseloff Jim
Published: June 2023

Biomass-derived materials have traditionally been used to generate electrical energy through the combustion of their organic components. However, within the past few years, certain common biomass compounds, especially plant-based products such as cellulose and lignin, have drawn attention in the energy field due to their wide availability, low cost, and chemical versatility. In the case of cellulose, the combination of crystalline and amorphous domains, along with the high surface area and abundance of hydroxyl groups, has allowed for its application in multiple devices to harvest energy from the environment. However, to date, there are no reviews focusing on the different approaches that have been developed to implement these sustainable materials in the generation of renewable energies and the desirable material properties for these applications. This manuscript reviews alternative ways that have been developed to exploit biomass compounds in power generation, especially cellulose and lignin. Three different types of energy harvesting are discussed: mechanical, osmotic, and thermal energy. In the case of mechanical energy, the application of plant-derived materials in piezoelectric and triboelectric generators is described. In both cases, approaches where the biomass material has an active role in power generation instead of acting as a mechanical support are reported. For osmotic energy, the performance of inverse electrodialysis systems and the use of plant-derived materials, including the chemical modifications carried out to allow for their use for energy generation, was reviewed. Finally, for thermal energy generation, the reported work on biopolymer-based devices that work using thermoelectricity has been summarised. In each case, the latest advances in the field from the materials science perspective and the reported performance were described. Hybrid approaches involving the combination of biomass materials with other components have also been considered and compared with the performance obtained using biopolymers alone. Current limitations and opportunities are, finally, discussed to offer an overview of the current landscape and indicate future directions of the field.
The Impact of Rural Enterprise Park Policy on the Income of Rural Residents: Evidence from China
Authors: Sun Quan , Zhao Lexin
Published: June 2023

Improving the income of rural residents plays an important part in sustainable rural development. Using a difference-in-difference (DID) approach and Chinese counties’ data from 2014 to 2019, this paper evaluates the effects of the rural enterprise park policy on the income of rural residents. We find that the policy significantly promotes rural residents’ income, and a series of additional tests suggest that the effects appear robust. We also find that stimulating entrepreneurial activities serves as a channel through which the policy affects rural incomes. Finally, the policy effects are mainly significant for counties with a higher level of human capital, a younger demographic age structure, and a higher level of financial development.
Image Denoising Method Relying on Iterative Adaptive Weight-Mean Filtering
Authors: Wang Meixia , Wang Susu , Ju Xiaoqin , Wang Yanhong
Published: June 2023

Salt-and-pepper noise (SPN) is a common type of image noise that appears as randomly distributed white and black pixels in an image. It is also known as impulse noise or random noise. This paper aims to introduce a new weighted average based on the Atangana–Baleanu fractional integral operator, which is a well-known idea in fractional calculus. Our proposed method also incorporates the concept of symmetry in the window mask structures, resulting in efficient and easily implementable filters for real-time applications. The distinguishing point of these techniques compared to similar methods is that we employ a novel idea for calculating the mean of regular pixels rather than the existing used mean formula along with the median. An iterative procedure has also been provided to integrate the power of removing high-density noise. Moreover, we will explore the different approaches to image denoising and their effectiveness in removing noise from images. The symmetrical structure of this tool will help in the ease and efficiency of these techniques. The outputs are compared in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio, the mean-square error and structural similarity values. It was found that our proposed methodologies outperform some well-known compared methods. Moreover, they boast several advantages over alternative denoising techniques, including computational efficiency, the ability to eliminate noise while preserving image features, and real-time applicability.

Published: June 2023

In order to acquire scientific evidence for the application of thiamethoxam (TMX) in Agaricus bisporus cultivation, residue and dissipation experiments for field trials were performed with the application of TMX in compost and casing soil, respectively. An effective QuEChERS method was established to analyze TMX and its two metabolites, clothianidin (CLO) and thiamethoxam-urea (TMX-urea), in compost, casing soil, and fruiting bodies. The results indicated that the TMX dissipation half-lives (t1/2) at dosages of 10 and 50 mg kg−1 were 19.74 d (day) and 28.87 d in compost and 33.54 d and 42.59 d in casing soil, individually. TMX, CLO, and TMX-urea were observed after TMX application in compost and casing soil. For TMX applied to the casing soil, only TMX residues were detected in fruiting bodies with bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of 0.0003~0.0009. In addition, both the chronic risk quotient (RQ) and acute risk quotient (HQ) values of TMX in fruiting bodies were far less than 1, which means the dietary health risks to humans were acceptable. However, in the TMX application to the compost, these analytes were not detected in the fruiting bodies. This suggested that the application of TMX in compost was safer than in casing soil during A. bisporus cultivation.

Published: June 2023

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide widely employed in agriculture. Exposure to this genotoxic and endocrine-disrupting compound has adverse effects on terrestrial and aquatic organisms and on humans as well. Here, we explored the effects of glyphosate on female reproductive output and somatic growth rate in the marine polychaete worm, Ophryotrocha diadema. Adult focal individuals were exposed to different concentrations of pure glyphosate (0.0, 0.125 0.250, 0.500, 1.000 µg/mL) administered once a week for 3 weeks. Toxic effects and mortalities were observed at the three higher concentrations, whereas only a decrease in growth rate was noted after exposure to 0.125 µg/mL, which did not affect female allocation. An area of focus in future studies should be the effects of contaminants, their metabolites, and ecologically relevant human-driven stressors in the context of global warming.

Published: June 2023

In Morocco, eight species of venomous snakes belonging to the Viperidae and Elapidae families are responsible for severe envenomation cases. The species from the Elapidae family is only represented by the medically relevant cobra Naja haje, which is widely distributed in North Africa. However, there is little information on the systemic effects of Moroccan cobra venom on vital organs due to regional variations. It has been demonstrated that the venom of Naja haje from Egypt causes hemorrhage, while the venom of the Moroccan cobra is neurotoxic and devoid of systemic bleeding. This variability is known to significantly influence treatment efficacy against Naja haje cobra bites in the Middle East. In this study, we examined the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the lethality induced by Naja haje venom, as well as the evaluation of the neutralizing capacity of two antivenoms; the monospecific antivenom made for Naja haje only and the antivenom marketed in the Middle East and North Africa. We first determined the toxicity of Naja haje venom by LD50 test, then compared the neutralizing capacity of the two antivenoms studied by determining the ED50. We also performed histological analysis on Swiss mice envenomed and treated with these antivenoms to observe signs of cobra venom envenomation and the degree of reduction of induced systemic alterations. The results showed significant differences between both antivenoms in terms of neutralization. The monospecific antivenom was four times more effective than the marketed antivenom. These results were confirmed by a histological study, which showed that monospecific antivenoms neutralized severe signs of mortality, such as congestion of blood vessels in the heart and kidneys, pulmonary and renal edema, cytoplasmic vacuolization of hepatocytes in the liver, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the brain and spleen. However, the polyvalent antivenom failed to protect all severe lesions induced by Naja haje venom in mice. These findings highlight the negative impact of geographic variation on the effectiveness of conventional antivenom therapy and confirm the need for a specific Naja haje antivenom for the effective treatment of cobra envenomation in Morocco.

Published: June 2023

Housing is a basic human need and a fundamental component of settlement status. The architectural form and spatial provisions of housing evolve in line with—and transform to meet—a specific era’s needs. Globalization has been responsible for changing the nature of housing in Qatar over the last thirty years. It has led to a standardization of construction methods and built form, representing a dramatic departure from past models of vernacular residential architecture. In light of these challenges, the ultimate purpose of this study is to explore the spatial and cultural features in a small sample of contemporary housing in Qatar. It explores the spatial layout of four Qatari residential villas to assess the social and cultural roles in contemporary housing models against the background of previous research. In the study, the authors utilized space syntax as an analytical tool to demonstrate patterns of visibility and room relations in the samples to understand occupants’ system of activities in the contemporary domestic setting, deploying visibility graph analysis (VGA) and relational graphs. Key findings include the interpretation of the probable relation to socio-cultural factors such as gender roles, hospitality, and privacy. Hence, this study fills gaps in knowledge about Qatari and Middle Eastern housing today.

Published: June 2023

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the use of public transport, with a surge in people considering personal car usage. However, owning private cars is costly and wasteful of resources. Electric car-sharing (ECS) is considered a safer and more private mode of transportation compared with public transportation. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected transport on transportation policies and travel willingness. What is the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on CS travel, especially considering the safety issues during the COVID-19 pandemic? This study analyses the differences in the travel characteristics of private car owners and nonowners while using CS under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Quantitative analysis during four months before and four months after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is conducted based on CS order data in Lanzhou, China. It was found that the number of CS orders fell by 55.8% during the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel behavior during the pandemic is different from that before the outbreak of the pandemic. Additionally, both private car owners and nonowners use CS while having differences in travel characteristics. Based on the results, business suggestions are introduced on the distribution of vehicles to help improve the profit of CS operators.

Authors: Sunderraj Ashwin , Wong Mandy , Gutiérrez Orlando M. , Wolf Myles , Akhabue Ehimare , Carnethon Mercedes R. , Yancy Clyde W. , Isakova Tamara
Published: June 2023

Key Points

FGF23 has a nonlinear positive association with incident CKD among healthy, middle-aged adults.

The relationship between FGF23 and incident CKD was only significant among participants with cFGF23 levels in the highest quartile.

FGF23 is not associated with 10-year change in eGFR or 10-year change in UACR among healthy, middle-aged adults.

Background

The relationship of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) with incident CKD has been examined in older but not younger populations.

Methods

Linear regression models were used to examine the associations of c-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) and intact FGF23 (iFGF23) with 10-year change (1995–96 to 2005–06) in eGFR and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults cohort. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association of cFGF23 with incident CKD, defined as eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 or UACR ≥30 mg/g. Multivariable models were adjusted for age, sex, race, education, field center, physical activity, body mass index, diabetes, smoking, and systolic BP.

Results

Among 2511 participants, the mean age was 45±3.6 years; mean eGFR was 96.5±14.0 ml/min per 1.73 m2; and median UACR was 4.3 (interquartile range, 3.0–6.7) mg/g. Most (62.6%) participants were nonsmokers; the prevalence of diabetes was low (6.6%); and median values for 10-year changes in eGFR and UACR were modest (−5.50 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and 0.70 mg/g, respectively). No consistent associations between cFGF23 and 10-year change in eGFR and UACR were observed. During a median follow-up of 9.98 years, incident CKD developed in 258 participants. There was a nonlinear association of cFGF23 with incident CKD, and relative to the lowest quartile of cFGF23, a significant relationship was detected only among participants in the highest quartile (hazard ratio, 1.58; 95% confidence interval, 1.09 to 2.27). Similar findings were observed for iFGF23.

Conclusion

Among middle-aged adults in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults cohort, median eGFR and UACR changes were modest and cFGF23 and iFGF23 were not consistently associated with 10-year change in eGFR or UACR. A nonlinear relationship was observed between cFGF23 and incident CKD, with individuals with highest cFGF23 levels being at risk of developing CKD.

Sebagai konsekuensi sanitasi yang buruk, penyakit infeksi dapat terjadi terutama akan menyerang kelompok usia rentan seperti balita. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari studi literatur ini adalah  untuk melakukan kajian permasalahan penyakit infeksi balita yang diakibatkan oleh sanitasi lingkungan yang buruk, sehingga dapat dirumuskan upaya penanggulangannya. Sebanyak 22 artikel dipilih berdasarkan kriteria inklusi pada database Google Scholar dengan kata kunci ‘unsafe sanitation’ OR ‘sanitasi buruk’ OR ‘sanitasi lingkungan’ AND ‘masalah kesehatan’. Analisis data dilakukan dengan mensintesis dan membandingkan data variabel penelitian dengan dukungan empiris/teoritis dan menyajikannya melalui narasi deskripsi. Penyelenggaraan sanitasi lingkungan merupakan salah satu bentuk upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kesehatan masyarakat. Namun, sampai saat ini penyelenggaraan sanitasi lingkungan masih belum maksimal sehingga menyebabkan potensi munculnya penyakit infeksi terutama bagi balita seperti diare, ISPA, tuberculosis, dan kecacingan yang dapat menganggu penyerapan nutrisi di dalam tubuh balita. Hal tersebut dapat berdampak pada terjadinya malnutrisi seperti kejadian stunting pada balita. Adapun kondisi sanitasi yang berperan dalam menimbulkan penyakit infeksi tersebut diantaranya adalah fasilitas jamban sehat, SPAL, peyediaan air bersih, sarana cuci tangan, ventilasi dan pencahayaan rumah, serta pembuangan limbah.
