Design and development augmented reality using OpenCV for primary education
Authors: Rajeswari P  , Smitha Sasi
Published: December 2024

Children are known to enter a developmental stage between the ages of three and five. It is during this time that they learn how to write letters by tracing them over and making connections between the dots in books. However, this method of involving kids isn't very successful. What if, instead of limiting children to paper and pencil, we allowed them to use the power of air itself to practice writing? Would that bring a magical element to learning? Would it allow children to begin their educational journey? What if education turns into a magical experience that captivates children and turns the ordinary into something fascinating? Computer vision (openCV) with augmented reality (AR). Writing in air has become a evolving yet significant area of research in the field of image processing and pattern recognition. It has led to the development of various applications which have human machine interface. With high quality computers, video cameras and techniques for automatic video analysis, Object tracking has become the most sought out area in the domain of Computer Vision. This study focuses on comparing virtual air canvas built with OpenCV and mediapipe and virtual air canvas built using OpenCV and numpy. Further into the paper, we shall present you our novel idea of integrating Augmented Reality with Computer vision and its impact on teaching and learning.
Wastewater management by using effective phytoremediator duckweed
Authors: YOGITA L. PADME
Published: December 2024

Water pollution and the increasing discharge of untreated wastewater into natural water bodies are intensifying the pressure on aquatic environments. Sustainable and eco-friendly methods are essential for restoring water quality and mitigating pollution. One such approach is water phytoremediation, which involves the use of aquatic plants to remove pollutants from water bodies and ecosystems. This study explored the removal of contaminants from municipal wastewater using floating aquatic plants such as Lemna minor, which have proven highly effective for phytoremediation due to their low cost, high pollutant uptake capacity, minimal generation of chemical and biological sludge, ease of transport, adaptability to diverse climatic conditions, and rapid reproduction rates.
Notable findings from the research include reductions in chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 82.2%, biological oxygen demand (BOD) by 84.3%, phosphates by 63.8%, ammonium nitrogen by 75.4%, and nitrates by 79.1% for Lemna minor. Maximum plant growth occurred during the experiment at pH levels between 7 and 8. The study demonstrated that large-scale remediation could be effectively achieved using Lemna minor as a phytoremediation agent within 17 days. This method offers a cost-effective, efficient tertiary treatment for heavily polluted wastewater. Additionally, it can serve as an independent treatment solution when integrated with preliminary wastewater treatment systems in smaller communities.
A review of enhancing the properties of concrete containing silica fume along with fibers
Authors: Hanaa Shihab Humadi  , Zinah Kadhm Hasan
Published: December 2024

It is well known that there is a serious shortage of raw materials for construction and the production of building materials causes environmental pollution and must be stopped immediately. Therefore, waste materials such as silica fume, slag, various fibers, etc. can be used to replace some of the raw materials that are not easily available. The use of these waste materials will ultimately reduce the cost of construction while improving many strength properties. It is necessary to review some of the literature on the improvement of concrete properties by adding fiber steel and silica fume to examine the effect of incorporating silica fume alone and subsequently adding silica fume together with fibers to replace the weight of cement and improve the properties of the reference mix prepared using locally available materials.

Published: December 2024

Obesity and prediabetes are significant global health issues that may progress to diabetes mellitus and associated complications. High-fat diets and streptozotocin treatment are known to contribute to these conditions. Sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus), even at high doses have demonstrated potential in lowering blood sugar levels. This study investigated the effects of sunflower seed powder on insulin-related gene expression in Wistar rats subjected to a high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin-induced prediabetes. A total of 27 male Wistar rats (350–400 grams) were randomly assigned to 9 groups and fed for 6 weeks. Pancreatic tissue was analyzed for gene expression of insulin (INS), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), and insulin receptor (INSR). The results revealed that HFD and streptozotocin treatment decreased expression of INSR, IGF-1, and GLUT2 while increasing INSR expression. However, sunflower seed powder dietary supplementation significantly enhanced messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression of INS, IGF-1, GLUT2, and INSR, suggesting a potential preventing of prediabetes and insulin resistance. This study highlights the beneficial effects of sunflower seed powder in modulating key genes involved in insulin signaling and glucose metabolism, providing a potential therapeutic strategy for managing prediabetes and obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Market power refers to a company's ability to influence the price of goods or services in the market. In a perfectly competitive market, both buyers and sellers have set prices, therefore businesses can set their prices without affecting the market price. In contrast, in less pure market structures such as oligopoly or monopoly, businesses can set prices and influence the market. When businesses with strong market power outperform new competitors, it constrains consumer purchasing power and allows businesses to set prices and improve product quality. In addition, technology plays an important role in production efficiency, as innovation can lower costs and create new products that meet consumer needs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of market forces in pricing and technological advances and provide important implications for producers to determine the price of goods and services. This research uses a qualitative approach combined with a literature review approach to analyze data related to the main topic of research. The data comes from secondary literature, which includes books, scientific journals, and articles. The study found that high market concentration, where a few large firms dominate, often leads to less competition and increased market power for those firms. This can lead to higher prices, lower quality, and less innovation.

Up-to-date knowledge of key ecological features that maintain boreal forest biodiversity is essential part of sustainable forest management and conservation measures. However, there is only a limited amount of spatial data available, as the detection of ecologically significant elements using remote sensing is challenging due to their low frequency, scattered occurrence, small size and/or location in the field layer. We studied tree-level discrimination of the keystone species aspen (Populus tremula L.) from other common tree species and detection of deadwood utilizing airborne high-resolution RGB images, multispectral and hyperspectral data and airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. We also tested the predictive accuracy of remote sensing parameters in predicting the aspen epiphytic lichen communities. Our results demonstrate that high-resolution remote sensing data together with machine learning algorithms provide new possibilities for mapping the occurrence and spatial distribution of key ecological features and producing proxies of biodiversity. It should be noted that field work is also needed for model training and evaluation. Moreover, resources and collaboration of different organizations are needed for biodiversity assessment and monitoring over large geographical areas.

Cilj. Cilj provedenog istraživanja jest utvrditi u kojoj mjeri knjižničari i knjižničarke u Republici Hrvatskoj sudjeluju na Svjetskom knjižničarskom i informacijskom kongresu Međunarodnog saveza knjižničarskih društava i ustanova (dalje u tekstu: IFLA WLIC). Osim prikupljanja osnovnih podataka o profilu ispitanika, cilj je saznati od ispitanika koja je opća razina poznavanja rada krovne knjižničarske organizacije – IFLA-e i kongresâ čiji je organizator IFLA. Također, istraživanjem se htjelo utvrditi kako hrvatski knjižničari prate rad IFLA-e te sudjeluju li na IFLA WLIC-u koji se organizira od 1927. godine.
Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Podaci za istraživanje prikupljeni su metodom online anketnog upitnika koji se mogao ispuniti od 17. svibnja do 7. srpnja 2022. godine. Anketni upitnik sastojao se od 21 pitanja otvorenog tipa uz mogućnost jednostrukog ili višestrukog izbora. Sadržavao je pitanja koja se odnose na profil ispitanika (spol, dob, radni staž i sl.) te pitanja o IFLA-i i sudjelovanju na IFLA WLIC-u.
Rezultati. U anketi je prikupljeno ukupno 487 odgovora. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je većina ispitanih žene srednje životne dobi koje u prosjeku imaju 16 godina radnog staža u knjižničarskoj struci. Uz to većina ih radi u narodnim (182 ili 37 %) i osnovnoškolskim (121 ili 25 %) knjižnicama. Rezultati istraživanja također pokazuju da većina ispitanih (97 %) zna što je IFLA te da je njih 72 % upoznato s IFLA WLICom. Osim toga utvrđeno je da 306 (88 %) ispitanika nije sudjelovalo na IFLA WLIC-u. S druge strane istraživanje je pokazalo da je svega 12 % ispitanih sudjelovalo u barem jednom IFLA WLIC-u. Kao najčešći razlog nesudjelovanja navodi se previsoka cijena kotizacije za sudjelovanje na kongresima i poteškoće financiranja puta.
Praktična primjena. Rezultati ovog istraživanja i njihova promocija mogu potaknuti veću zainteresiranost za rad IFLA-e te veći odlazak na buduće kongrese IFLA-e s obzirom na to da je u samom istraživanju samo 41 % ispitanika znalo da su za svaki IFLA WLIC potrebni međunarodni volonteri te da se na volontiranje može prijaviti svatko tko je zainteresiran.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Rad nudi jedinstveni uvid u odnos hrvatskih knjižničara i IFLA WLIC-a. Prvi put u Republici Hrvatskoj predstavljaju se statistički podaci koji govore o odlasku i razlozima neprisustvovanja hrvatskih knjižničara na IFLA WLIC-u.

Cilj. Cilj je rada prikazati rad Dječjega odjela Knjižnice „Nikola Zrinski“ Čakovec te odgovoriti na pitanje u kojoj su mjeri korisnici zadovoljni knjižničnim uslugama na Dječjem odjelu.
Metodologija. Kronološki prikaz daje se od osnutka Dječjega odjela 1974. godine, s naglaskom na prikaz poslovanja Dječjega odjela u 2023. godini. Podaci o Dječjem odjelu prikupljeni su iz Arhiva Knjižnice „Nikola Zrinski” Čakovec, osobito iz izvješća o radu te mrežnih stranica Knjižnice, kao i brošure 40 godina Dječjeg odjela u Knjižnici „Nikola Zrinski“ Čakovec, koja je izdana povodom obilježavanja četrdeset godina rada Dječjega odjela. Svi statistički podaci koji su korišteni za prikaz rada Dječjega odjela danas odnose se na 2023. godinu te su preuzeti iz sustava za računalnu obradu knjižnične građe CROLIST. U istraživanju mjere u kojoj su korisnici zadovoljni trenutnim uslugama na Dječjem odjelu korištena je metoda anketiranja putem anketnoga upitnika koji je bio dostupan korisnicima na Dječjem odjelu od 1. do 30. lipnja 2024. godine.
Rezultati. Kronološki prikaz povijesnoga razvoja, kao i rezultati istraživanja, ukazuju na to da je Dječji odjel mjesto koje promiče dobrobit i kvalitetu života svih njegovih korisnika, što u većoj mjeri i sami prepoznaju.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Povijesni prikaz razvoja Dječjega odjela, kao i rezultati anketnoga istraživanja, mogu biti polazna točka za detaljnije povijesno istraživanje rada Dječjega odjela i planiranje novih knjižničnih programa i usluga Dječjega odjela, kao i strateškoga plana razvoja.
Vrednovanje knjižničnih zbirki za odrasle Gradske knjižnice Rijeka (GKR) uz pomoć Conspectus modela
Authors: Silić Švonja Andreja , Frgačić Nataša
Published: December 2024

Cilj. Cilj je rada prikazati postupak i rezultate vrednovanja knjižničnih zbirki za odrasle Gradske knjižnice Rijeka (GKR). Istraživanje je provedeno kvantitativnim i kvalitativnim metodama koje se koriste u procesu vrednovanja s naglaskom na model Conspectus. Cilj istraživanja jest rezultate vrednovanja uklopiti u proces revidiranja Smjernica za izgradnju i upravljanje fondom.
Pristup. Vrednovanje obuhvaća opis postojećih izdvojenih zbirki i trendova koji nameću izdvajanje i oblikovanje nedavno izdvojenih posebnih zbirki te obradu statističkih podataka koji obuhvaćaju broj nabavljenih svezaka i financijske pokazatelje za 2023. godinu iz godišnjeg izvješća, kao i podatke o korištenju, odnosno posudbi pojedinih zbirki. Statistički podaci o posudbi građe generirani su iz knjižničnog programa ZaKi, a analiza se odnosi na godišnju razinu. U provedenoj pilot studiji dodatna kvalitativna procjena istražena je anketnim upitnikom o vrednovanju zadovoljstva knjižničara izgradnjom zbirki u odjelima, ograncima i bibliobusima.
Rezultati. Statistički podaci i rezultati ankete ponudili su podatke koji mogu poslužiti u preoblikovanju i ažuriranju smjernica za izgradnju i upravljanje knjižničnim fondom za sljedeće petogodišnje razdoblje te za izradu sažetog prikaza snage zbirke za odrasle uz pomoć Conspectus-indikatora za pojedine predmetne skupine. Budući da ne postoje propisani standardni popisi informacijskih izvora za narodne knjižnice s kojima bi se zbirke mogle uspoređivati, model Conspectus iskorišten je za usporedbu informacijskih izvora odjela i ogranaka unutar složenog centraliziranog sustava nabave GKR-a radi pregleda diferencijacije odjela i ogranaka prilikom postupka nabave knjižne građe.
Ograničenja. Vrednovanje je ograničeno na zbirku knjiga za odrasle i jednogodišnje razdoblje uz usporedbu s podacima koji se odnosi na prethodne četiri godine. Istraživanje bi trebalo proširiti na zbirke knjiga za djecu i ostale vrste građe.
Praktična primjena. Rezultati istraživanja koristit će se kao alat za uspješniju i kvalitetniju nabavu u GKR-u u skladu s pokazateljima koji upućuju na snage i slabosti fonda radi što boljeg ispunjavanja zadaća knjižnice i korisničkih potreba te što učinkovitijeg korištenja raspoloživih financijskih sredstava za nabavu knjižne građe.
Društveni značaj. Zadovoljstvo knjižničnim fondom i nabavom građe u GKR-u mjerljivo je korištenjem građe i zadovoljstvom krajnjih korisnika. Odgovarajuća nabava izravno doprinosi dostupnosti kvalitetnih izvora za zadovoljavanje obrazovnih, kulturnih i informacijskih potreba korisnika, čime se izravno potiče individualni razvoj korisnika, kao i razvoj čitave lokalne i šire zajednice.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Primjena modela Conspectus za vrednovanje knjižničnih zbirki nije se do sada upotrebljavala u nabavi građe u hrvatskim narodnim knjižnicama, pa može biti poticaj drugim knjižnicama da koriste isti alat, kao i da vrednovanje postane redoviti dio knjižničarskih poslova u procesu nabave.
Predmetna obrada stripova u hrvatskim narodnim knjižnicama
Authors: Vnuk Josipa , Cupar Drahomira
Published: December 2024

Cilj. Cilj rada jest analizirati postojeće prakse predmetne obrade stripa u odabranim hrvatskim narodnim knjižnicama kako bi se utvrdilo postoji li među stručnjacima potreba za sustavnijom predmetnom obradom.
Pristup. U provedbi istraživanja korištena je metoda polustrukturiranog intervjua. Instrument korišten za provođenje istraživanja jest upitnik koji se sastoji od šest pitanja otvorenog tipa pomoću kojih se nastoji dobiti opći uvid u način predmetne obrade stripova u pet odabranih hrvatskih narodnih knjižnica koje imaju velike zbirke stripa.
Rezultati. Istraživanje je pokazalo da pri predmetnoj obradi stripova prvenstveno nedostaje usuglašenost struke oko potrebe za opredmećivanjem stripova uopće te se posljedično tome svaka knjižnica odlučuje za primjenu predmetnih pravila koja su važeća u njihovoj knjižničnoj praksi. Također je uočeno da se predmetna obrada stripova ne provodi u svim knjižnicama. To ukazuje na činjenicu da predmetna obrada stripova nije usustavljena na nacionalnoj razini, pa tako ni na lokalnim razinama te je potrebno uložiti dodatne napore u razvoj funkcionalnog okvira pravila za predmetnu obradu stripova u hrvatskim knjižnicama.
Ograničenja. Zbog malog uzorka rezultati se ne mogu generalizirati i stoga je dobivena slika o praksama i problemima predmetne obrade u odabranom broju knjižnica, na temelju čega se zaključuje da bi za temeljit uvid u potrebu za sustavnijom predmetnom obradom trebalo provesti dodatna istraživanja, prije svega korisnika stripova. U ovome radu uzeta je u obzir samo perspektiva predmetnih stručnjaka knjižničara, pa je potrebno sučeliti te spoznaje s korisničkom perspektivom kako bi se dobili obuhvatniji rezultati.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Istraživanja o sadržajnoj obradi knjižnične građe u Hrvatskoj nema mnogo, pritom se misli i na predmetnu obradu i klasifikaciju. Tema predmetne obrade stripova u znanstvenim i stručnim radovima još je rjeđa kako u domaćoj tako i u stranoj literaturi. Rezultati iz ovoga rada mogu poslužiti kao polazište za promišljanje o potrebi usustavljivanja predmetne obrade stripa. Dobri primjeri pojedinih knjižnica iz uzorka mogu poslužiti kao temelji za promišljanje obuhvatnog predmetnog sustava za označavanje stripa. Temeljna je vrijednost ovog rada u podizanju svijesti o potrebi unaprjeđenja predmetnog pristupa stripovima u katalozima hrvatskih narodnih knjižnica.
