Published: May 2022

Biometric authentication is gaining ground in security-related issues in business, corporate management, and other settings. A considerable amount of research has been conducted in this area, yet further research into its betterment is still an emerging trend. This article presents a study of the published empirical research on some fingerprint recognition techniques widely in use. The study is limited to articles that explicitly discuss techniques used in recognizing a person's fingerprint. It employs a systematic mapping design, which proposes a categorical system to classify the research results based on the selected articles' topics. The categories include work distribution by year of publication, datasets used, fingerprint recognition approaches, metrics, and evaluation. This study shows the direction of currently performed empirical research on fingerprint recognition by comparing the selected published work to the classification criteria and evaluating them.

Published: May 2022

Text-to-picture alludes to the conversion of a textual description into a semantically similar image.The automatic synthesis of top-quality pictures from text portrayals is both exciting and useful at the same time.Current AI systems have shown significant advances in the field,but the work is still far from complete. Recent advances in the field of Deep Learning have resulted in the introduction of generative models that are capable of generating realistic images when trained appropriately.In this paper,authors will review the advancements in architectures for solving the problem of image synthesis using a text description.They begin by studying the concepts of the standard GAN, how the DCGAN has been used for the task at hand is followed by the StackGAN with uses a stack of two GANs to generate an image through iterative refinement & StackGAN++ which uses multiple GANs in a tree-like structure making the task of generating images from the text more generalized. They look at the AttnGAN which uses an attentional model to generate sub-regions of an image based on the description.
Neighbourhood Social Sustainability, Urban Renewal, and Health Inequalities
Authors: Macassa Gloria
Published: May 2022

Social sustainability has been less studied than its counterparts, economic and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, social sustainability has not been often discussed within the discipline of public health and let alone, there has been very little discussion about the potential impact of neighbourhood social sustainability on health related outcomes as well as health inequities. This perspective paper attempts to fill that gap by igniting a discussion on how neighbourhood social sustainability can affect health equity in the context of health promotion and sustainable development. Neighbourhood social sustainability through urban renewal can contribute to the reduction of inequalities in health only if the process takes into account the health and wellbeing of the most disadvantaged groups. In addition, it is important that public health researchers become part of the discussions on how neighbourhood social sustainability can contribute to population health equity.
Privacy Behavior in Smart Cities
Authors: van Zoonen Liesbet , Rijshouwer Emiel , Leclercq Els , Hirzalla Fadi
Published: May 2022

In this article, the authors present exploratory research about privacy behaviour in a smart city. They ask if and why people share personal data in a smart city environment. They designed a gamified survey that offers realistic scenarios in which people are asked to identify smart technologies and to share or withhold their personal data. The findings show that most respondents are willing to share their data for surveillance purposes and security benefits. They found that privacy behaviour was directly and most strongly explained by privacy concerns: people with more concerns shared less personal data than others. Smart city literacy had a much smaller effect on privacy behaviour, as did age, education, and income. They found no effect of gender or place of residence on any of the dependent variables. They discuss the meanings of these outcomes for local governments as a matter of digital placemaking (i.e., designing the smart city in a way that makes technology visible and provides transparency with respect to privacy and data governance).
Alternative Building Technologies as a Delivery Mechanism for Affordable Housing
Authors: Randa Isaac O. , Baporikar Neeta
Published: May 2022

In terms of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, each one has a fundamental right to decent housing. This is to ensure adequate access to a safe, secure, habitable, and affordable housing (AH) irrespective of income or access to economic resources. Several studies estimate housing shortage in Namibia to over 100,000 units and one of the main reasons poor delivery of AH. The housing shortage in Namibia is arguably perpetuated due to using conventional methods of construction. Using economic, lean construction, public interest theories, and project management; Alternative Building Technologies (ABT) promises a delivery mechanism for AH in Namibia. Hence, adopting a mixed methods research strategy, using data collected through interviews and questionnaires, and analysis done qualitatively using Vivo coding and quantitatively using descriptive statistical methods, the issue is explored. Findings reflect that the delivery of AH can be improved using ABT as it reduces the construction time, cost, waste besides environmental conservation.

Authors: Liu Lei , Luhach Ashish Kr. , Lee Myung-hee
Published: May 2022

With the ever-increasing popularity of traveling markets, more people are willing to spend their time and enjoy life by visiting some points of interest (POI) especially for the citizens living in cities. Therefore, it is of practical and significant value for travel enterprises to recommend appropriate country POIs to target travelers. However, the massive POIs as well as their diversity place a heavy burden on the POIs recommendation decision making especially when the available historical traveler-POIs check-in data are very sparse. In view of this challenge, the authors put forward a novel cultural country POIs category recommendation method based on historical knowledge and experienced information (e.g., check-in time and POIs category, i.e., CPCR). At last, CPCR method is evaluated via experiments on WS-DREAM dataset.

Tire Track Identification: A Method for Drivable Region Detection in Conditions of Snow-Occluded Lane Lines
Authors: Goberville Nicholas A. , Kadav Parth , Asher Zachary D.
Published: May 2022

Today’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) predominantly utilize cameras to increase driver and passenger safety. Computer vision, as the enabler of this technology, extracts two key environmental features: the drivable region and surrounding objects (e.g., vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles). Lane lines are the most common characteristic extracted for drivable region detection, which is the core perception task enabling ADAS features such as lane departure warnings, lane-keeping assistance, and lane-centering. However, when subject to adverse weather conditions (e.g., occluded lane lines) the lane line detection algorithms are no longer operational. This prevents the ADAS feature from providing the benefit of increased safety to the driver. The performance of one of the leading computer vision system providers was tested in conditions of variable snow coverage and lane line occlusion during the 2020-2021 winter in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The results show that this computer vision system was only able to provide high confidence detections in less than 1% of all frames recorded. This is an alarming result, as 21% of all crashes in the U.S. are weather-related. To increase the capabilities of ADAS when snow-occlusions are present, a tire track identification system was developed by comparing various supervised machine learning models. A custom dataset was collected using the Energy Efficient and Autonomous Vehicles lab’s research platform from Western Michigan University. A data preparation pipeline was implemented to label tire tracks and train the machine learning models. The best model achieved high confidence detections of tire tracks in 83% of all frames of which tire tracks were present, an 82% increase in detections than the leading computer vision system provider.

Published: May 2022

Epizootic lymphangitis (EL) is one of the most important diseases of equines in Ethiopia, causing a significant economic loss in cart-horse and mule producers. A cross-sectional study was carried out between April and June 2017 in Bahir Dar city to estimate the prevalence of epizootic lymphangitis (EL) and its associated risk factors. Study locations and cart mule owners were selected purposively based on the availability of cart mules. Whereas cart mules were sampled using a simple random sampling technique by a lottery system. A total of 384 cart mules were considered for this study. Both clinical and microbiological examinations were employed to identify EL in-cart mules. Among 384 sampled cart mules, which were subjected to clinical and microbiological examination, 88 (22.9%, 95% CI= [18.7, 22.1]) were positive for EL. Cutaneous form 69 (78.4%, 95% CI= [69.8, 87.0]) was the commonest form of the disease followed by mixed infection 10 (11.4%, 95%CI= [4.7,17.9]), ocular 6 (6.8%, 95% CI= [1.5,12.1]) and pulmonary 3 (3.4%, 95% CI= [0.4, 7.2]). Most EL lesions were observed on forelimbs 24 (27.3%, 95% CI= [17.9, 36.5]), followed by chest and forelimb 18 (20.5%, 95% CI= [12.0, 28.9]), hind limbs 16 (18.2%, 95% CI=[10.1, 26.2]), chest 11 (12.5%, 95% CI= [5.6, 19.4]), and head and forelimbs 8 (9%, 95% CI= [3.1,15.1]). The association between location, sex, and body condition score with the occurrence of EL was examined using the chi-square test. However, none of the examined risk factors considered were significantly associated with EL (p>0.05). In conclusion, a higher prevalence of EL was recorded in Bahir Dar city which could substantially affect the health, productivity, and performance of cart mules. Further extensive mycological and epidemiological research on EL is suggested to develop evidence-based EL control and prevention measures in cart mules.

Published: May 2022

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an acute highly contagious viral disease of all cloven-hoofed animals that causes significant economic problems in Ethiopia. The objectives of this study were to assess the morbidity and clinical features of FMD in sick cattle and identify causal serotypes of FMD outbreaks in central Ethiopia. Outbreaks of FMD were investigated in a total of 150 herds of cattle from January 2021 to April 2021. Seven epithelial tissue and 23 oral swab samples were collected and subjected to a real-time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) and Sandwich Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for detection and serotyping of FMD virus, respectively. A total of 150 herds of cattle were examined, of which 114 (76%) herds of cattle were clinically affected with FMD. In this study, 75.9% animal-level morbidity was recorded. Exotic breeds and adult cattle were more affected by Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) with morbidity of 100% and 77.4%, respectively. The clinical features in sick cattle showed that profuse salivation was the most frequently observed clinical sign (40%) followed by oral cavity vesicle formation (30%), and interdigital space lesion (15%). Out of 30 samples subjected to rRT-PCR and ELISA test, 28 (93.33%) and 27 (90%) samples were found positive, respectively. In this study, three types of FMD serotypes were detected in which SAT-2 (n = 13) was the predominant serotype followed by serotype O (n = 9), and serotype A (n = 5). The current study revealed that FMD serotype SAT-2 was highly responsible for the occurrence of FMD outbreaks in central Ethiopia. Although the FMD vaccine produced in Ethiopia contains all the identified serotypes, detailed studies on topotypes identification have to be performed to provide full protection.

Authors: Wiratama Budhi Fatanza , Pasaribu Ernawati
Published: May 2022

The creative economy is a new paradigm to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, film as the priority sub-sector of Indonesia's Creative Economy failed to become one of the five sub-sectors with the largest multiplier effect to other sub-sectors of the creative economy. There is an immeasurable impact of film on the tourism sector which is known as film tourism. This research conducts empirical evidence on the case study of Belitung Island and the Laskar Pelangi film to measure the magnitude of the film tourism effect. The analytical method used in this study is the ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) intervention modelling. The results of the intervention model show that the Laskar Pelangi film and the Kata Museum of Andrea Hirata have a significant direct effect on the tourist arrival in Belitung Island. Meanwhile, the influence of the Tanjung Kelayang Tourism SEZ was significant almost one year after it was established. The increase in tourist arrival due to Laskar Pelangi film tourism is two times higher than without the effect, indicating that the film tourism phenomenon is possible to become a new form of innovation that is effective as a catalyst for the future of Indonesia's tourism sector.

Indonesia was ranked 72nd out of 77 countries in reading assessment based on Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA). Through the National Literacy Movement, the Indonesian government attempt to increase children's reading proficiency, which is also an indicator of SDG 4.1.1. This study explores the important roles of the parents and community in improving children's literacy competencies. This study used a qualitative approach and collected both primary and secondary data. The findings highlighted that parents supporting children's literacy could improve children's reading interest and early-phase of reading competencies through the availability of reading corners and home-based literacy activities. There were 300 parents supporting children's literacy activities and 73 community facilitators facilitating 20 village reading clubs. The village government also supported the sustainability of the reading club by providing incentives for the facilitators and developing the infrastructure through village fund allocation.
Strategic Programs to Accelerate Competency Development of Construction Workers
Authors: Afrida Siti
Published: May 2022

The quality of infrastructure highly depends on the availability of qualified, reliable, and competent and certified construction workers as stipulated in Law No. 2 of 2017. Based on the Survei Angkatan Kerja Nasional or SAKERNAS (National Labor Force Survey) conducted by Badan Pusat Statistik or BPS (Statistics Indonesia) in 2021, there are 8,293,769 million construction workers, of which less than 10% have competency certificates. This study aimed to explore the strategies for accelerating the certification of construction workers. A descriptive method with a qualitative approach was used by reviewing and observing existing data from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, Statistics Indonesia, and Construction Services Development Agency. It was found that certification can be accelerated by establishing Certification Agency for Profession (LSP), re-branding and modernizing SIBIMA Construction services, maintaining the quality of experts through continuous professional programs (PKB), and implementing Link & Match to synchronize competency with the needs of the construction industry. It can be concluded that there has been a rise in the number of certified workers but the figures are far from the ideal target. Several factors contributed to this condition, such as lack of finance, synchronization and data harmonization, lack of synergy among the stakeholders in construction services, and lack of technology adoption and information on government policies about training and certification of construction workers.

Published: May 2022

Producing biodiesel using a mixture of palm oil is one of the main policies today. This paper studied the interactions among climate, land, energy, and water in a model to address national biofuel intensification policies and identified biofuels’ role in fulfilling energy needs, the trade balance, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The integrated climate land energy system (CLEWs) model was employed here. The model simulated the implementation of B30 in 2020 (B30/20), B40/25, and B50/30. The results showed that the implementation of the B30/20, B40/25, and B50/30 scenarios requires 15.30, 20.20, and 25.10 million tons of Crude Palm Oil (CPO), respectively. In terms of land, implementing the B30/20, B40/25, and B50/30 scenarios needs an additional 8.36, 69.33, and 80.38 thousand km2 of oil palm plantations, respectively 2030. In terms of emission, implementing the B40/25 and B50/30 policies can reduce 160 MTon and 320 MTon CO2-eq, respectively by 2030. There is no irrigation system needed in oil palm plantations. The paper recommended that the biofuel incentives or need price mechanism formulation and land allocation policies by using marginal/critical land for new oil palm plantations. The policy should be used to improve the yield or crop productivity of palm oil plants.

Comparing Two Translations of Giovanni Papini’s Poem C’è un canto dentro di me Depending on the Translators’ Experiences before and during the Translation
Authors: Tóth-Izsó Zsuzsanna , Lombard Catherine Ann
Published: May 2022

This paper is the first of three related articles that examine an Italian poem written by Giovanni Papini, an original figure in the Italian literature of the first half of the 20th century. This paper is a translation comparison study: the poem was translated into English by two independent translators whose personal backgrounds and translation experiences were significantly diverse. The research aims to see how these differences influence the outcomes. Comparing these two translations showed that a minor part of the content elements slightly, but differed according to each translator’s particular mindset. However, the large majority of the content elements in this case, did not significantly differ. This finding can probably be attributed to the fact that these very translations — quite independently from the translators’ background — were rather strongly determined by the source text. It is not always the case; certain literary pieces provide more, others less room for the translators. Additionally, recently, a clear tendency seems to articulate itself: the strict lines between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ translations have already vanished. Thus, the resultant translation is always determined both by the salient features of the source text and by the individual reading of the source text. Therefore, more individual readings of a piece offer the reader or analyzer a broader and more profound understanding of its content. This article aims to demonstrate these opposing influences via a particular translation case study in more detail, hoping it will contribute to our deeper translation theoretical understanding.
crédito tributário na recuperação judicial após a reforma da Lei nº 14.112/20:
Authors: De Oliveira Barcia Roberta
Published: May 2022

A posição do crédito tributário no regime da recuperação judicial do direito brasileiro sofreu diversas mudanças ao longo dos anos em razão de divergências de interpretação realizadas pelos Tribunais Superiores, que a despeito da existência da regra, e baseados no princípio da preservação da empresa, alteraram substancialmente sua forma de recuperação junto ao regime da insolvência. A Lei nº 14.112/20 nasce com a árdua missão de mudança desse panorama jurisprudencial, já que em realidade não parece existir uma verdadeira mudança normativa com o novo artigo 6º §7º-B da Lei nº 11.101/05; trata-se de uma tentativa de diminuir o fracasso na recuperação do crédito tributário de sociedades empresárias insolventes perante o regime da recuperação judicial, fracasso esse relacionado com a evolução jurisprudencial do tema. O sistema da insolvência espanhol, ainda que inclua o crédito tributário no regime da recuperação judicial, não conseguiu avançar como pretendia seu legislador, tendo sofrido modificações legais em 2020 na tentativa de tornar o sistema mais efetivo diante da crise econômica decorrente da pandemia mundial. O tema em questão enfrenta a complexidade de se compatibilizar o regime público tributário com o regime privado da insolvência, dificuldade que não nos parece instransponível, mas que é provavelmente a grande geradora dos conflitos e da falta de coerência na aplicação das normas previstas na Lei nº 11.101/05.

Preparation of Nanofat Concentrate and Its Use for Hypertrophic Scar Treatment
Authors: Liu Hong-Wei
Published: May 2022

Objective: Nanofat grafting has been reported to improve tissue repair by the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) of nanofat. However, the oil and liquid portions of fat tissues were released by mechanical emulsification during the nanofat procedure. Here, we reported a simple method to remove the oil and water for concentrating nanofat.

Methods: The concentrate of nanofat was obtained by processing nanofat using negative pressure produced by syringer and two-step centrifugation. The volume of oil and fat tissue as well as morphological changes of nanofat concetrate obtained by different procedures was examined. Meanwhile, the SVF numbers, the proliferation and differentiation capacity of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) were determined. The clinical outcome of nanofat concentrate in treatment hypertrophic scar was evaluated.

Results: The centrifugation and negative pressure had no significant effect on the proliferation activity of the SVF in the concentrate of nanofat. The concentrated rate after 0, 15, 30 and 60 times of emulsification was 2.08±0.042, 2.63 ± 0.07, 3.8 ± 0.01 and 8.2 ± 0.12 times greater than the original, respectively. The SVF number per 10 ml of fat in the above-mentioned groups were increased by 1.80 ± 0.15, 2.68 ± 0.27, 4.64 ± 0.20 and 3.44 ± 0.27 times, respectively. The capacity of cell proliferation and differentiation decreased significantly after more than 30 times emulsification. The concentrates of nanofat effectively improve the appearence and hardness of hypertrophic scar.

Conclusion: The nanofat concentrate prepared by our method include more SVF cells and less oil and might be more effective during clinical use.

Published: May 2022

Este artigo se orienta a partir da concepção de acesso à justiça, enquanto ferramenta essencial na construção de uma cidadania plena, e dos obstáculos à sua concretização enfrentados por sujeitos hipossuficientes durante a pandemia do Covid-19, especialmente os que se valem do jus postulandi nos Juizados Especiais Estaduais. A fim de analisar tal questão, realizou-se um estudo através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental de relatórios disponibilizados pelo Tribunal de Justiça do Estado da Bahia sobre o quantitativo de atermações realizadas entre abril e dezembro de 2018, 2019 e 2020 nos juizados especiais baianos, bem como informações sobre o funcionamento dos núcleos que prestam assistência jurídica gratuita em Salvador-BA. Foi constatada uma redução significativa nos registros de termo de queixa durante a suspensão dos atendimentos presencias na pandemia, evidenciando um recrudescimento dos desafios a serem enfrentados na busca da concretização do acesso à justiça.
Os efeitos da sentença declaratória de união estável diante do INSS
Authors: Rios Bruno Carlos dos
Published: May 2022

Este trabalho possui como objetivo estudar os efeitos previdenciários da sentença declaratória de reconhecimento de união estável, apreciada pela Justiça Comum Estadual, sopesando-se a hipótese de o Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS) não figurar na aludida relação jurídica processual. Investiga-se a racionalidade do entendimento da autarquia previdenciária no tocante ao tema selecionado, pois ainda que a união estável seja reconhecida por sentença judicial transitada em julgado, o INSS, no campo administrativo, condiciona o aproveitamento previdenciário à apresentação de outros elementos de provas, haja vista que não acolhe a eficácia e a autoridade da mencionada decisão judicial. Por isso, examina-se, com base no direito vigente e, em especial, diante do Código de Processo Civil de 2015, a suficiência ou não da sentença declaratória de reconhecimento de união estável para que se admita o amparo da previdência aos interessados. Levantam-se as características dos dependentes previdenciários e da organização do gestor do órgão, notabilizando o tratamento conferido pelo INSS à entidade familiar da união estável, no sentido de examinar a força preclusiva e executiva da sentença declaratória.
