CLIP-Based Search Engine for Retrieval of Label-Free Images Using a Text
Query
Authors: Mikhalevich Yurij
Published: July 2023

In January 2021, OpenAI released the Contrastive Language-Image
Pre-Training (CLIP) model, able to learn SOTA image representations from
scratch on a dataset of 400 million (image, text) pairs collected from the
Internet. This model enables researchers to use natural language to
reference learned visual concepts (or describe new ones), enabling the
zero-shot transfer of the model to downstream tasks. One of the possible
applications of CLIP is to look up images using natural language queries.
This application is especially important in the context of the constantly
growing amount of visual information created by people. This paper explores
the application of the CLIP model to the image search problem. It proposes a
practical and scalable implementation of the image search featuring the
cache layer powered by SQLite 3 relational database management system
(RDBMS) to enable performant repetitive image searches. The method allows
efficient image retrieval using a text query when searching large image
datasets. The method achieves 32.27% top-1 accuracy on the ImageNet-1k 1.28
million images train set and 55.15% top-1 accuracy on the CIFAR-100 10
thousand images test set. When applying the method, the image indexing time
scales linearly with the number of images, and the image search time
increases minorly. Indexing 50,000 images on Apple M1 Max CPU takes 19
minutes and 24 seconds while indexing 1,281,167 images on the same CPU takes
8 hours, 31 minutes, and 26 seconds. The query through 50,000 images on
Apple M1 Max CPU executes in 4 seconds, while the same query through
1,281,167 images on the same CPU executes in 11 seconds.

application and an online portal
Authors: Mhlongo Thobani , De Wet Lizette , Verkijika Silas
Published: July 2023

The increasing number of users with access to the internet, computers,
and mobile devices propels most institutions to avail their services through
online portals and mobile applications. However, there are instances where
users underutilise or completely opt out of these platforms. This is a cause
for concern since funds are invested in their development, with the
anticipated return on investment. Against this backdrop, this study aimed to
compare the user experience and continuance use of a mobile application and
online portal for an organization in South Africa. This single case study
followed an explanatory sequential design, where the initial phase consisted
of data collection using a self-administered questionnaire. For the second
phase, the data was collected using an interview protocol. The results
established that the study participants had a positive experience with the
online portal but not so much with the mobile application. The contributing
factors to the online portal's positive user experience were its efficiency,
attractiveness, perspicuity, dependability, novelty, and stimulation. The
interview results corroborated the quantitative results, as participants
indicated overall positive experiences with the online portal. In contrast,
participants had negative experiences with the mobile application, citing
its limited features and lack of user-friendliness, understandability, and
learnability. Regarding continuance use, the quantitative and qualitative
results suggested that participants were keen to use the online portal in
the future. However, the quantitative results for the mobile application
indicated no participant interest in using the mobile application again in
future, despite the interview results indicating otherwise. Participants
identified improvement in efficiency and visual appeal as conditions for
their future re-use of the mobile application.
The impact of the complexity of the interactive interface of e-commerce
apps on user satisfaction and efficiency
Authors: Liu Xinran , Xu Li
Published: July 2023

Objective With the rapid development of e-commerce, more and more people
have begun to use e-commerce apps for online shopping. However, with the
continuous expansion of e-commerce App functions, its interactive interface
is becoming increasingly complex. This could affect user satisfaction and
shopping efficiency, but the issue must be thoroughly studied. Therefore,
this study explores the impact of the complexity of e-commerce apps'
interactive interfaces on user satisfaction and efficiency. Methods A
questionnaire survey was conducted in this study on the aspects of function
and content, navigation bar, controls and elements, layout and design,
device compatibility, and their satisfaction scores were collected. A total
of 89 valid questionnaires were collected from Chinese users. Then SPSS was
used for data analysis.Results The results show that the complexity of the
interactive interface of e-commerce apps significantly impacts user
satisfaction and efficiency. There is a negative relationship between the
complexity of the interactive interface and shopping satisfaction and a
negative relationship between the complexity and shopping efficiency. In
addition, users pay more attention to product information's presentation and
recommendation function when shopping. Hence, they must pay more attention
to these aspects when designing e-commerce apps. Conclusion and Revelation
This study confirmed the influence of the complexity of the e-commerce App
interface on user satisfaction and efficiency. Our results suggest that
simplified versions of e-commerce apps can improve shopping efficiency.
These results suggest that e-commerce App developers need to balance
shopping efficiency and user satisfaction in interactive interface design
and make customized designs according to the needs of their target user
groups.Keywords: Interactive interface complexity, user satisfaction,
shopping efficiency
Investigation of Graphical User Interfaces for Online Driving Style
Customization of Highly Automated Vehicles
Authors: Trende Alexander , Krefting Ina , Weber Lars , Lüdtke Andreas , Rieger Jochem , Fränzle Martin
Published: July 2023

Technological progress in the field of autonomous vehicles may lead to
the introduction of such vehicles into traffic in the upcoming decades.
However, user acceptance of the technology is an important factor besides
the technical possibility of the introduction of the technology. Since
driving is a complex task and people drive differently, they may prefer
different driving styles of an autonomous vehicle. Giving the users the
possibility to adjust and personalize the driving style of their autonomous
vehicle might help with the user acceptance and adoption of the technology.
For this purpose, we conducted a driving simulator study wit N=11
participants to investigate whether the participants would like to have the
possibility to adjust driving style parameters through a graphical
human-machine interface. During the experiment the participants experienced
a simulated ride in a fully automated vehicle in a dynamic driving simulator
and had the possibility to change driving style parameters like the speed or
time-headway of the simulated automated vehicle. After the experiment the
participants filled out a questionnaire with items about technology
acceptance. Overall, the results of the questionnaire suggest that the
participants found the HMIs beneficial. Overall, there was an above average
rating of 4.38/5.00 that such driving style personalization HMIs are going
to support the driver during the vehicle use. By analyzing the experimental
data, we found that most of the participants were able to find a suitable
set of driving style parameters before the end of the experiment. We
hypothesize that the possibility for a user to adjust some driving style
parameters may help the adoption of the technology and its user acceptance.
Integrating Rule Based Expert Systems into a Simulation framework for
digital twins
Authors: Hüsener Dominik , Roßmann Jürgen
Published: July 2023

The loss of expert knowledge due to experienced workers retiring in the
coming years poses a significant challenge. To address this, we proposed to
digitize and preserve this knowledge using the digital twin concept.
Traditionally, expert systems have been used to emulate human experts.
Rule-based expert systems, such as Prolog and CLIPS (C Language Integrated
Production Systems), are one class of expert systems. Fuzzy CLIPS is an
extension to CLIPS that can handle Fuzzy logic. Compared to machine learning
techniques such as neural networks, rule-based expert systems are more
reliable and can provide explanations for their reasoning.VEROSIM is a
simulation framework for Digital Twins, into which Fuzzy CLIPS was
integrated. Rules are executed depending on the status of the Digital Twin
or user input and manipulate the state of the digital twin or generate an
output. The Network Modeler is a graphical user interface built with QML
that was developed to enhance the process of connecting simulation
components, similar to OpenModelica, and visualize or manipulate the data
flow between ports. The network modeler was extended to support the
formulation of CLIPS rules. The existing Rule Visual Modeling Language was
adapted for this purpose. The user can use the GUI to create thing
templates, add properties called slots whose state can be fuzzy, such as
cost (from low to high) or surface quality (low to high), and based on these
templates, rules can be formulated. Rules have zero to several conditions
and at least one action that is executed when the conditions are met.
VEROSIM objects were created and mapped to a QML file for all required
components, which defines the appearance inside the Network Modeler. A
parser either parses FuzzyCLIPS code and produces a VEROSIM Model of the
rules that can be visualized in the Network modeler or the user can
graphically build the rules and the parser produces executable code. This
approach allows non-experts to easily build a rule-based expert system,
which can be extended or changed even during execution. Additionally, it can
visualize which conditions lead to which actions in a more intuitive way
than looking at the code. Finally, the integration into VEROSIM allows for
direct interaction with the digital twin.This process is used to recommend
the best tool to use based on optimization parameters given as user input
and the geometry of a part to produce in the context of the production of
individualized parts made out of fiber-reinforced plastics. The result will
be stored in a production plan which is part of the digital twin and
information about the produced part is fed back to the digital twin and used
to update the ruleset of the expert system.
Pay-per-use models, the backbone of a sharing economy: How to stimulate a
sustainable human-centered ecosystem success to achieve a faster Society 5.0
Authors: Kleine-gung Joerg , Koumpan Elizabeth
Published: July 2023

In Society 5.0 humans aim to leverage advanced technologies to create
innovative solutions for social and environmental issues. Public awareness
of the need to act now to shape a liveable future for the next generations
and to set the course for a climate-friendly and sustainable future has
reached its peak. This societal and political pressure is currently changing
and will change industries, corporate strategies, buying behaviors, and
society dramatically and lastingly in the coming years. Strengthening the
concept of the sharing economy is essential to achieving the sustainability
goals of Society 5.0. Effective and mature implementation of pay-per-use
models is the heart of the sharing economy and essential to drive that
concept to the next level. Due to their cost-effectiveness, flexibility,
scalability, and predictability pay-per-use models are attractive to both
businesses and consumers and offer several benefits. Pay-per-use is nowadays
established as the standard for payment processes of native cloud services,
electric vehicles, and many others, but the full potential is not exhausted,
and currently serves as a payment model rather in niche areas. We will
discuss how this can be changed, and what possible implementations could
look like enabled with micropayments, cryptocurrencies, and distributed
ledgers. We will provide the architecture overview and explain how it fits
future (should we change for the future or leave current?) banking
architecture. The implementation of frictionless payment models is a
significant opportunity to improve customer perception and increase revenue
by providing a more convenient, secure, and efficient payment experience and
is, therefore, a win for the industry, consumers, and the environment.
Finally, we describe what obstacles there have been so far in implementing,
and what a roadmap to strengthen pay-per-use models and sharing economies
might look like.

Diabetes Diagnosis Using Plantar Thermogram Based on DenseNet
Authors: Ayaka Ono , Uchida Hironori , Li Yujie , Nakatoh Yoshihisa
Published: July 2023

In Japan, the number of diabetics is rapidly increasing due to changes
in lifestyle and social environment. In the early stages of diabetes,
patients have few subjective symptoms and the disease may be left untreated
for a long period of time. However, if metabolic abnormalities in diabetes
persist over a long period of time, the likelihood of developing
complications increases. Therefore, it is important to complete the
diagnosis of diabetes as early as possible. The use of plantar thermography
images is expanding as one way to determine diabetes. However, conventional
techniques have not been evaluated to take into account the difficulties of
acquiring images in actual use environments, such as out-of-focus or
low-resolution cameras. This evaluation is essential in a practical diabetes
detector. In this method, we created various simulated images assuming
realistic usage environments and devices, and evaluated their impact on
diabetes determination accuracy using Recall, Precision, and F-measure. The
diabetes determination method uses DenseNet201, a convolutional neural
network specifically designed for image classification. As a model, training
is performed using only the source image, either single-foot images or
both-foot images. The dataset consists of plantar thermogram images of 122
diabetic and 45 non-diabetic patients published by Hernandez et al. Due to
the small amount of training data, the training was augmented with image
processing such as rotation and reduction. For the original image, the
Recall and F-measure for the single-foot image were 96.4% and 87.1% for the
original image, and 100.0% and 78.9% for both-foot images, respectively.
Considering the F-measure, the classification with a single foot as input
data is relatively more accurate. Furthermore, even at 87.5% reduction,
there was no effect of reduced resolution on the accuracy of diabetes
determination, indicating that focusing has a significant effect on the
accuracy of plantar thermography images.

Published: July 2023

Long-term isolation in a closed environment will lead to fluctuations in
users' cognition and operation to a certain extent. As the basic controls of
touch control system, the size of the button also has a significant impact
on operation performance. In view of the special operation environment of
long-term isolation and sealing, this study conducted a study on the
influence of button size on operation performance in the long-term isolation
and sealing environment. Seven buttons of different sizes were selected, and
under a long-term closed isolation environment, with 12 days as an
experimental cycle, 7 consecutive ergonomic experiments were carried out,
with task performance as the main indicator. The experimental results show
that in the long-term airtight isolation scenario, the minimum recommended
size of the touch screen interface button is 16mm. The larger the button
size, the better the operation performance, and there is no significant
relationship with the airtight isolation time. The conclusion of this study
can provide scientific support for the size design of touch control
interface in long-term closed and isolated environment.

Preserving the Human Element in Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs)
Authors: Kratchounova Daniela , Baumgartner Hannah
Published: July 2023

Pilot reports (PIREPs) are reports describing in-flight weather
conditions submitted by pilots, and provide crucial weather information to
other pilots for pre-flight and in-flight planning. However, the current
PIREP system is antiquated, prone to error, and has been identified as a
safety concern according to a 2017 National Transportation Safety Board
Special Report. The current paper describes some preliminary results from a
proof of concept study investigating the feasibility, utility, and usability
of a PIREP submission and retrieval process that uses VHF radio, cloud
computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. In this concept,
pilots were able to submit and retrieve PIREPs without talking to an air
traffic controller but by communicating with an automated VHF ground station
via a voice-user interface. Pilots were also able to retrieve PIREPs online
(website and mobile app), where they could listen to voice recordings of
PIREPs or read voice-to-text transcriptions of PIREPs submitted in their
local area. Most aircraft today are equipped with a VHF radio, which is the
primary communication tool used to file PIREPs via communicating either with
a Flight Service or Air Traffic Control facility. The use of a dedicated
radio frequency for submitting and retrieving PIREPs has the potential to
provide an additional mechanism for pilots to communicate these reports
reducing congestion on other FSS and ATC frequencies. For the period of time
between November 4, 2022 and April 30, 2023; over 200 pilot-participants who
were flying within or overflying the areas with radius of ~ 50 nm from two
airports—Will Rogers World Airport (KOKC) in Oklahoma and Nenana Municipal
Airport (PANN) in Alaska submitted and retrieved~5,000 PIREPs. Two PIREP
ground station identifiers were used for this research: (a) “PIREP Watch
Alaska” and (b) “PIREP Watch Oklahoma”. For this initial phase of the
research, the system did not have the capability to map ADS-B equipped
aircraft to aircraft type, location or altitude without querying the pilot.
Pilots identified a number of areas of growth for this concept, such as the
need for aviation-specific vocabulary in the voice-to-text transcription
aspect of the technology. Overall, pilots were highly enthusiastic about the
proof of concept study and supported the feasibility, utility, and usability
of this novel method of submitting and retrieving PIREPs. This innovative
system preserves the human element in modern weather information sources by
allowing pilots to use free form when reporting their direct weather
observations in-flight while eliminating the need to talk to an air traffic
controller or flight service specialist. Furthermore, it offers data-driven
support for modernizing the PIREP system.

Integrated communication channels make it easier for the market to capture promotional messages. Mistakes in designing marketing communication strategies will have an impact on messages that cannot be conveyed. This can damage the company's image because the market cannot find the benefits of the product. This study aims to analyze the promotion strategy of the Dompet Dhuafa Sacrificial Animal Stocking program using the Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) perspective presented by Philip Kotler and Gary Armstrong. This research applies a qualitative-inductive descriptive method using library data from various relevant sources. The results showed that the promotion of the Dompet Dhuafa Sacrificial Animal Stocking program applies the principles of integrated marketing communication. The IMC principle that emphasizes the integration process of promotional channels that convey one promotional message has been implemented in the promotion of Sacrificial Animal Stocking 1443 H through the message of the benefits of #JadiManfaat sacrifice. All parties involved in THK activities have coordinated their activities on the delivery of sacrificial benefit messages in order to achieve the objectives of the sacrificial decision. The above study can be recommended for managers of institutions that organize sacrificial activities to pay attention to the integration of promotional messages that use various communication channels in order to achieve promotional goals.
Struggling with Self-Love: A Thomistic Perspective on Anxious Attachment
Authors: Overmyer Sheryl
Published: July 2023

Attachment Theory attends to how and why some individuals habitually struggle with self-love. This is what Thomists call deficient self-love. Yet Thomistic moral psychology lacks a robust account of deficient self-love. Bringing these relational insights from Attachment Theory into a Thomistic framework helps identify the emotional pattern of deficient self-love and a newly named vice of “self-diminishment.” Together, they contribute to a shared understanding of how to move from deficient self-love and self-diminishment to the Christian ideal of genuine self-love and self-sacrifice.

Narrativas de subjetivación en académicas de Chile y Colombia: neoliberalismo y género en la universidad
Authors: Martínez-Labrín Soledad , Castelao-Huerta Isaura
Published: July 2023

Nuestro objetivo en este artículo es analizar la construcción de la subjetividad de algunas académicas en Chile y en Colombia a partir de dos ejes: la neoliberalización de la educación superior, y la generización de la academia neoliberal. Nuestros resultados se basan en la realización de entrevistas narrativas con 34 académicas de universidades públicas del sur de Chile y del centro de Colombia. Los hallazgos nos permiten señalar que las dos principales narrativas de subjetivación son: 1) la productividad, en donde el éxito es vinculado con un self perseverante y disciplinado, y la falta de éxito asociada con la no inteligencia y la indisciplina-culpa; y 2) las marcas de género en el trabajo académico, con claros indicios de síndrome de la impostora, y la idea de una academia desgenerizada. Finalmente, realizamos una discusión sobre las implicaciones de los resultados para avanzar en los feminismos dentro de las universidades.

Environmental Modeling and Traffic Simulation: A multivariate approach to monitor urban air pollutant agents.
Authors: Vasconcelos Israel L. C. , Aquino Andre L. L.
Published: July 2023

This work presents an interdisciplinary assessment examining air quality tracking in urban environments. This application is well suited to be approached with wireless sensor networks' paradigm in their overall variations. The proposed modeling application takes advantage of Vehicle Sensor Networks (VSN) by embedding sensor nodes in public transportation, addressing this study case with bus lines so that the mobiles spread the sampling activity through many different places visited during the route. Simultaneously, it alleviates power management restrictions, packaging dimensions (size and weight), and general maintenance issues. We perform environmental modeling based on real data considering temporal and spatial multivariate behavior on observed phenomena. We consider the city of São Paulo in our case study and parse the asserted data to create a multivariate map of samples, showing the behavior of five different air pollutants from fossil-fueled vehicles (CO, O3, PM10, NO2 and SO2) simultaneously while it also varies in time. Furthermore, the experiment considers a detailed description of roads, bus lines, vehicle itineraries, and general traffic information. The input data that has unformatted or missing information due to being sourced from real sensors is handled to create the map mentioned above. Our methodology addresses the following: 1) the mentioned environmental simulation, 2) the deployment of mobile sensor nodes and performing sensing process, 3) the implementation of network activity and delivery of collected data, 4) visualization of monitored environment based on gathered data using Voronoi Diagrams to fill blank data at non-reached areas. Finally, our VSN-based approach improved 126 times lower error and 11 times higher coverage compared to conventional monitoring with air quality stations.

Authors: Veysuei Mohammad , Amini Mahdi , Fattahi Azin , Mojarad Sayed Mehdi
Published: July 2023

Background: Fear of missing out on social media can be one of the motivations for individuals to participate in social media. Participating in social networking sites is also associated with social network addiction and phubbing and can have problematic consequences for social media users. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the fear of missing out scale (FoMOs) and the phubbing scale (TPS). Methods: The present study was conducted online by surveying Instagram social media users. A total of 431 individuals participated in this study and responded to the Farsi version of the FoMOs, TPS, and Social Network Addiction Test. For the assessment of the reliability of the test-retest, 40 participants answered the FoMOs and TPS separately in two 4-week periods. Correlation and factor analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 26) and Amos software (version 24) to analyze the data statistically. Results: The results showed the high internal consistency of the FoMOs (α = 0.85) and TPS (α = 0.83). Test-retest reliability was good for the FoMOs and TPS. The concurrent validity of the FoMOs and TPS was obtained as 0.51 and 0.70, respectively. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis results also showed two factors for the FoMOs (i.e., trait- fear of missing out (FoMO) and state-FoMO) and two factors for TPS (i.e., communication disturbances and phone obsession) in the Farsi version, which are consistent with the original version of the two scales. Conclusions: The Farsi versions of the FoMOs and TPS for use in Iran have good validity and reliability.
Improvement of Bone Age Assessment Using a Deep Learning Model in Young Children: Significance of Carpal Bone Analysis
Authors: Kim Sang-Un , Oh Saelin , Lee Kee-Hyoung , Kang Chang Ho , Ahn Kyung-Sik
Published: July 2023

Background: Deep learning methods used for bone age assessment (BAA) mostly employ the whole hand or regional convolutional neural networks without carpal bones; therefore, their application is insufficient in young children. Objectives: This study aimed to improve the accuracy of BAA in young children by integrating a carpal bone analysis and to achieve a similar BAA accuracy for all age groups. Patients and Methods: A hybrid Greulich-Pyle (GP) and modified Tanner-Whitehouse deep learning model for BAA was trained by integrating an additional carpal bone analysis of an open dataset. A total of 453 hand radiographs from a single institution were selected for external validation. To create the reference standard, three human experts conducted a BAA, based on the GP Atlas, and then, interobserver agreement was evaluated. The model performance was estimated by comparing the mean absolute difference (MAD) and the root mean square error (RMSE) between the two BAA models, including one with a carpal bone analysis (M1) and one without a carpal bone analysis (M2), and the reference standard. The MAD of each model was compared between sex and age groups with respect to four major developmental stages, that is, pre-puberty, early and mid-puberty, late puberty, and post-puberty. Results: The M1 model showed a higher accuracy with a lower MAD (0.366; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.337 - 0.395) compared to the M2 model (0.388; 95% CI: 0.358 - 0.418) for all age groups, with a significant difference (P < 0.001). The RMSE values versus the reference standard were 0.483 and 0.505 years for the M1 and M2 models, respectively. According to sex and developmental stage distributions, the M1 model had a greater predictive ability compared to the M2 model for pre-pubertal patients, regardless of sex (P = 0.008 for males and P = 0.022 for females). Conclusion: Based on the present findings, the integration of a carpal bone analysis into the BAA model improved its accuracy, especially in young children.

Background: Given the significant morbidity and mortality of juvenile pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), understanding the clinical and paraclinical findings of this condition can aid in the early diagnosis and identification of helpful factors in its treatment. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and paraclinical findings of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) in children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 20 children with iPAH who were assessed in terms of pulmonary hypertension or hospitalized at the cardiac ward of Imam Reza hospital, Mashhad, Iran, during January 2018 to October 2001. The clinical data, chest X-ray (CXR), electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, cardiac catheterization findings, and mortality results were extracted from the medical records and recorded in a researcher-made questionnaire. Results: The current study’s findings revealed a higher prevalence of iPAH in females (70%) than men, as well as in term neonates compared to preterm newborns. The most common clinical findings were active dyspnea, heart murmur, and cyanosis. Prominent pulmonary conus, right atrial enlargement (RAE), and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) were the most common CXR findings. The right axis deviation, RVH, and RAE were the most common abnormal findings of electrocardiography, respectively. Based on echocardiographic findings, dilated right atrium and dilated right ventricle were reported in all subjects. The mean of tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (TRPG) and peak systolic pressure gradient (PSPG) were 76.33 ± 22.8 and 44.2 ± 13.18 mmHg, respectively. The mean ratios of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), diastolic PAP, and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) to aortic systolic pressure were estimated at 0.92, 0.78, and 0.88, respectively. The results confirmed a significant relationship between mPAP and consanguinity (P = 0.03). In addition, the findings demonstrated a correlation between echocardiographic findings (i.e., TRPG and PSPG) and systolic PAP, diastolic PAP, and mPAP (P < 0.05). In total, 56.3% of the patients expired, most of whom (37.5%) were the younger children. Conclusions: The findings suggest that IPAH should be considered as a possible diagnosis in various clinical manifestations, including respiratory distress, hepatomegaly, ascites and even neurological symptoms. Since there are no specific symptoms, therefore a set of history, physical examination, laboratory findings, and clinical suspicion should be taken into consideration.

The fisheries sector in Indonesia has a greater potential, namely pelagic and demersal fish populations including skipjack tuna and tuna skipjack tuna are referred to as commodities that have high nutritional value but are easily damaged because they contain lots of protein which is high in free amino acids for microbial metabolism. production of ammonia, biogenic amines, organic acids, ketones and sulfur composition. Fish is one of the food products that is prone to deterioration in quality due to the action of enzymes or microbial growth. Handling of fresh fish can be done by applying cold temperatures through freezing techniques to prevent deterioration of fish quality. The SCF (semi contact plate freezer) method is a product freezing process between refrigerated shelves and this process takes place quickly. The use of semicontec in this product is fish arranged in a pan, which consists of 144 pans of cold air around the product with a temperature of - 40°C for 5 hours, with a temperature of 17.4°C in skipjack tuna, the histamine content was 0.3 ppm. ABF (Air Blast Freezer) freezing method. Freezing is done by placing the fish products that have been arranged in a pan and putting them into the ABF (air blast freezer) at the temperature used in the company, which is -35°C for 22 hours. in the arrangement of the fish that is included in the air blast freezer Freezing air blast freezer, which is a cold media made from freon that is used to freeze or ripen fish. The temperature of the fish after being frozen at air blast freezer 15.400C. by producing histamine levels in skipjack tuna 3.9 ppm, where the fish can still be consumed.

Estimating the size and places of residence of the population of Ukraine has been
this country’s problem for the past decade, and is related to the lack of census data
for the 2010 round, large-scale processes of external and internal labour migration, and
Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine that started in 2014. This already
disadvantageous situation has been significantly exacerbated by Russia’s full-scale war
against Ukraine which began on 24th February 2022. Conducting statistical surveys,
especially surveys regarding the population, turned out to impossible under war
circumstances. Therefore, the task of developing effective approaches to estimating the
population size using data from existing sources, in particular the data of mobile
operators regarding the number, location and mobility of subscribers, has become even
more pressing. The article highlights the results of a study on the use of data from
mobile operators, data from administrative registers, and the results of a special
population sample survey on the use of mobile communication for the purpose of
estimating the population. It also provides the results of experimental calculations of
the population size in Ukraine as a whole and in particular regions. The study moreover
showed that the size of Ukraine’s population in November 2019, unlike the official
estimate of 41,940.7 thousand people, was probably about 37,289.4 thousand people. The
developed approaches can be used to estimate the number and location of the population
of Ukraine during the intercensal period or significant population movements due to
environmental disasters or military conflicts.
