Building an Integrative System: Enriching Gesture Language Video Recognition through the Multi-Stream of Hybrid and Improved Deep Learning Models with an Adaptive Decision System
Authors: Mira Anwar , Hellwich Olaf
Published: September 2024

The recognition of hand gestures is of growing importance in developing human-machine interfaces that rely on hand motions for communication. However, recognizing hand gesture motions poses challenges due to overlapping gestures from different categories that share similar hand poses. Temporal information has proven to be more effective in distinguishing sequences of hand gestures. To address these challenges, this research presents an innovative adaptive decision-making system that aim to enhance gesture recognition within the identical category have been introduced. The system capitalizes on the potential for variations in recognition outcomes derived from a diverse model of time-sharing neural networks, each employing different neural networks and trained on distinct input features. By incorporating such diverse input features, the system significantly boosts the robustness of recognition decisions, enabling it to effectively capture even the most subtle disparities within internal video representations. To achieve our research objective, we extensively investigate deep convolutional neural networks specifically trained on videos for hand gesture recognition. We also incorporate enhanced features from deep CNN using standard neural networks, namely Self Organizing Network and Radial Basis Function Network. By combining these features in various configurations, we develop novel frame-wise features based on the enhanced CNN features. These frame-wise features enable the training of diverse sets of recurrent neural network models, resulting in novel ensembles of composite models derived from various recurrent neural networks with diverse configurations. Some models are trained using multiple streams, while others utilize a single stream. To ensure the effective integration of these models, we implement a novel adaptive decision system mechanism that improves performance for weak prediction models and enhances overall recognition capability by taking a collective prediction decision. Experimental results demonstrate the significance of each proposed recurrent neural network model and the effectiveness of the new frame-wise features in enabling accurate decisions. This research achieves state-of-the-art performance in hand gesture recognition, highlighting the potential of combining different neural network architectures and feature representations to achieve superior outcomes.
The twisted second moment of modular half-integral weight $L$-functions
Authors: Dunn Alexander , Zaharescu Alexandru
Published: September 2024

Given a half-integral weight holomorphic Kohnen newform

f

on

\Gamma_{0}(4)

, we prove an asymptotic formula for large primes

p

with power saving error term for

\def\starexponent{\hspace*{-9.5pt}\vphantom{\sum}^*\hspace*{6.5pt}}
\sum_{\chi \pmod{p}}\starexponent| L(1/2,f,\chi) |^{2}.

Our result is unconditional, it does not rely on the Ramanujan–Petersson conjecture for the form

f

. This gives a very sharp Lindelöf-on-average result for Dirichlet series attached to Hecke eigenforms without an Euler product. The Lindelöf hypothesis for such series was originally conjectured by Hoffstein. There are two main inputs. The first is a careful spectral analysis of a highly unbalanced shifted convolution problem involving the Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight forms. The second input is a bound for sums of products of Salié sums in the Pólya–Vinogradov range. Half-integrality is fully exploited to establish such an estimate. We use the closed form evaluation of the Salié sum to relate our problem to the sequence

\alpha n^{2} \pmod{1}

. Our treatment of this sequence is inspired by work of Rudnick–Sarnak and the second author on the local spacings of

Planar locally minimal trees with boundaries on a circle
Authors: Mikhailov Ivan Nikolaevich
Published: September 2024

A planar tree has a convex minimal realization if it is planar equivalent to a locally minimal tree whose boundary is the set of vertices of a convex polygon. If this polygon is inscribed in a circle, then the tree is said to have a circular minimal realization. We construct a wide class of planar trees that have convex minimal realizations but do not have circular ones.

Published: September 2024

In the Sahel, millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) is one of the main cereals cultivated as rain-fed crops, predominantly by vulnerable small  producers, on poor soils leading to increasingly low growth and production. The aim of this work was to increase millet production by  using organic manure (compost) at low cost (accessible to all) and respectful of the environment. The methodology used was  participatory (with producers) and consisted of monitoring the growth and yield parameters of two varieties (local and improved) of  millet by applying three doses of compost: low dose (1 tha-1 ), medium dose (3 tha-1 ) and high dose (5 tha-1 ) with a control (without compost). The results showed that millet achieves most of its growth in height before the 71st day after sowing. The high dose of  compost increased the height of the millet plants by more than 22 cm and the number of tillers by more than 17% compared to the  control. The variety of millet did not directly affect plant height and number of tillers. The high dose of compost increased the yield by  more than 44% and the dry matter by more than 37% compared to the control. The yield of the improved millet variety increased by more  than 32% compared to the local variety. The local variety had an increase in dry matter of more than 11% compared to the  improved variety. The study helped convince several producers to accept the use of compost. Its large-scale extension, in producers'     fields, could convince those who are reluctant to adopt innovation.

Published: September 2024

La pêche est une source vitale de protéines, de revenu et contribue de manière significative à la sécurité alimentaire tout en créant des  emplois informels dans les zones rurales. Cependant, l’industrie souffre au Tchad, depuis plusieurs années d’un manque de recherche et  de données fiables. L’étude avait pour but de promouvoir le développement durable à toutes les étapes de la chaîne  d'approvisionnement de l'industrie de la pêche au Tchad. L’objectif de l'étude consistait à assurer le bien-être des communautés locales  et d’améliorer la gestion des zones humides. L'analyse fonctionnelle a montré une révolution récente des organisations travaillant à  restaurer les stocks de poissons par la protection des pêcheries, qui a commencé dans le Barh-koh et a fini par s'étendre le long du  fleuve Chari et du Barh-keita. Le groupe d’âge le plus courant parmi les pêcheurs est comprise entre 26 à 35 ans, suivi par ceux de 36 à 45  ans. Le taux d'intérêt net est compris entre 0,70 et 1,5% et la valeur ajoutée était inégalement répartie. La pêche contribue à  l’épuisement des ressources halieutiques et à la destruction des frayères (45,54%) en raison des techniques de pêche prohibée. Des  efforts doivent être faits pour contribuer à la durabilité du secteur.

Published: September 2024

L’accès à une alimentation saine en milieu scolaire est extrêmement important, surtout dans les pays en développement comme le Niger.  Les collations dans les écoles permettent aux écoliers de mieux s’alimenter. Cependant, les lacunes en matière de salubrité  entourant la préparation et la vente des aliments entrainent de grands risques pour la santé des écoliers. L’objectif de cette étude était  d’évaluer la qualité hygiénique des aliments vendus dans les écoles de Niamey. La collecte des échantillons s’était déroulée auprès de 60  vendeurs au sein de 20 écoles de l’arrondissement communal Niamey V entre mars et avril 2022. Le niveau de salubrité et d’hygiène a été  évalué selon une grille de questionnaires. La qualité microbiologique des aliments a été évaluée à partir des analyses des paramètres  microbiologiques. La vente d’aliments était exercée surtout par les femmes (95%) et l’âge moyen de vendeurs était de 40,73  ±11,53 ans et près de la moitié (43,3%) n’étaient pas scolarisés. La majorité des vendeurs utilisait des tables insalubres (77,8%). Les  aliments étaient souvent exposés au soleil et à l’air libre (96,7%). Quant aux habits et à l’hygiène des vendeurs, la plupart portaient leur  tenue habituelle (98,3%) et le lavage des mains n’était pas régulier. Pour l’analyse microbiologique, 100% des échantillons étaient non  satisfaisants pour la Flore Aérobie Mésophile Totale, Coliformes Totaux, Coliformes Thermotolérants et staphylocoque; en effet, 23,3% et  35% des échantillons étaient non conformes respectivement pour salmonelles et Escherichia coli. Les conditions d’hygiène dans  lesquelles les aliments vendus dans les écoles étaient non satisfaisantes et les charges microbiennes observées pourraient être  dommageables à la santé des écoliers.

Published: September 2024

La mémoire de travail joue un rôle central dans la cognition et sa capacité est le meilleur prédicteur des performances dans les activités  cognitives complexes et les apprentissages. Cette étude visait à évaluer et à comprendre les effets de l’utilisation des écrans sur cette  mémoire en situation d’apprentissage. À cette fin, une évaluation de la mémoire de travail visuospatiale a été réalisée au moyen  d’épreuves d’évocation d’objets familiers. Cent étudiants, répartis en quatre groupes, ont participé aux expériences. Dans les différentes expériences, les performances des sujets ayant effectué l’apprentissage avec écran ont été comparées à celles des sujets ayant appris  sans écran. Les résultats ont montré que les différences de performance n'étaient pas significatives entre les différents groupes. Il  ressort donc, de cette étude, que les sujets apprennent de la même façon, quel que soit le moyen d’apprentissage utilisé (avec écran ou  sans écran). Ainsi, l’utilisation des écrans pour l’apprentissage n’a pas d’impact significatif sur la mémoire de travail.

Published: September 2024

Les infestations par les parasites gastro-intestinaux chez les animaux domestiques sont de plus en plus fréquentes et entrainent des  pertes économiques non négligeables. Elles sont souvent négligées, voir ignorées, surtout chez les équidés au Sénégal. C’est dans ce  contexte que cette étude a été effectuée dans la période allant d’octobre 2021 à février 2023 sur des chevaux et ânes de trait de Bambey.  Des examens de coprologie ont été réalisés à partir de prélèvements de fèces de sujets reçus à la clinique vétérinaire de l’Institut  Supérieur de Formation Agricole et Rurale (ISFAR) pour une consultation. Ainsi, les résultats obtenus ont révélé un indice d’infestation  globale de 72%. Les Strongles étaient les plus observés suivis par les Parascaris sp et les Anoplocephala sp. Les ânes étaient plus  parasités que les chevaux. Concernant ces derniers, 69,46% ont excrété des œufs de strongle dans leurs fèces et parmi ceux-ci, 79,31%  avaient un OPG>600. Par ailleurs, 58,62% des chevaux positifs ont été reçus à la Clinique Vétérinaire en mai, juin et juillet contre 41,38%  en janvier, février, mars et avril. En effet, un déficit alimentaire chez les chevaux était observé à la fin de la saison sèche qui correspond  aux mois de mai, juin et juillet dans cette localité. A cette période, les chevaux étaient sous-alimentés, ce qui favoriserait une dépression  du système immunitaire et le développement des vers digestifs. Ainsi, un traitement ciblant les femelles et les jeunes chevaux au cours  des mois de mai, juin et juillet permettrait de lutter plus efficacement contre les strongles dans cette localité.

Bane of crude oil exploration in the Niger Delta: The example of Ossy Okeke’s liquid black gold
Authors: Iloma Richard Nyenwemaduka
Published: September 2024

Crude oil is a major source of foreign exchange and revenue generation for the Nigerian economy. It is one of Nigeria’s numerous  natural resources found in communities in the Niger Delta region. While its exploration has yielded significant growth in the Nigerian  economy, the seeming unabated grievances and recurrent outbursts of agitations and crises that translate into militancy and other forms  of civil disturbances among host communities have raised serious problem in destroying mutual relationship between oil  companies, host communities and government. The resultant effect is the depletion of production and its negative consequences on the  gross domestic product (GDP) of the country. This study attempted to improve relationship between the concerned stakeholders by  investigating causes and effects of grievances, agitations and civil disturbances in Niger Delta. It was guided by FrustrationAggression  Theory as a framework to qualitatively analyse a purposively sampled film, Liquid Black Gold by Ossy Okeke Junior. A critical textual  autopsy of the film revealed that these unending agitations are predominantly caused by external and internal factors, vis-a-vis the neglect and irresponsibility of government on one side and the corrupt and fraudulent penchants of most Niger Delta leaders on the  other side. This study recommended the legislation and implementation of policies on improved corporate social responsibility (CSR) to  host communities in Niger Delta and the deterrence of corrupt practices by government agencies and leadership class in the area.

Radiological accuracy in locating a migrated IUD from the uterine cavity
Authors: Wangwe Peter Joseph
Published: September 2024

The Intra Uterine Device (IUD) is a safe and common form of contraception. Locating a lost IUD following silent perforation of the uterus  either during or after IUD insertion is challenging. Locating the IUD using radiological investigation is straightforward. However, the use  of a series of radiological investigations which brings the same management outcome is controversial in terms of cost. This is a report of  a rare case in which several radiological investigations were conducted following IUD migration from the uterine cavity. The patient  presented with lower abdominal pain and dyspareunia for oneyear post IUD insertion. Plain pelvic X-ray has less diagnostic accuracy in locating a migrated IUD compared to pelvic ultrasound and pelvic Computer Tomography (CT). Although it is cheap and can be done in  low resource areas where there is minimal health investment it should be used as a preliminary investigation in case pelvic ultrasound is  not available. This case report shows the important role of different imaging modalities, depending on cost, infrastructure, availability of  radiological expertise, and the timely availability of endoscopic services, in diagnosing and managing a displaced IUD compared to open  surgery.

Tar is an instrument that has a very important place in the education and performance of Azerbaijani Folk Music and is almost associated with this music. In addition to this, tar takes place in Turkish folk music as a color instrument in the fields of education and performance due to its regional characteristics. Efforts to keep our traditional music, which is one of our common cultural values in the Turkish world, alive; It is very important for music performers to carry their style and attitude without deviating from the traditional line. Tunes, poems and performance techniques have an important place in conveying the musical identity of the society. Thanks to these, while defining the society, the characteristic features of the society are also determined. The Turkish world also has instruments that define its own culture and express the voice of the people with their unique tones. In this sense, Tar is an instrument that has taken its place among the instruments used by the Turks and has helped the society that has accepted itself in the geography it is in, in performing its own music. Tar, which has taken its place among Turkish folk music instruments, has become widespread in our country recently and has been included in education at the conservatory level. Tar has a very important place in the education and performance of Azerbaijani folk music. Due to the natural structure of the instrument, encountering some difficulties in its performance and practice causes the interest in the instrument to decrease and it loses its importance. For this purpose, the main purpose of the study is to contribute to the studies aimed at keeping the national culture alive by touching on the place of tar in folk music.

Published: September 2024

A research was conducted to determine the attitudes, behaviors and sensitivities of young people studying in three faculties at Adıyaman University regarding social problems. Youth, especially university youth, are at a stage where they are making their final preparations to enter life. Therefore, their views and evaluations on social problems should be emphasized. It is important what and how much the youth know about the society they live in. In addition, taking their opinions into consideration will lead to a motivation in their work. Because the youth is the period when communication conflicts are experienced the most. The main reason for communication conflicts or disconnections is that the parties do not define social phenomena and events in the same way. Therefore, there are differences between the attitudes and behaviors of young people in the face of an event and the attitudes and behaviors of adults. The main population of the study consists of young people aged 18 and over studying at Adıyaman University. The sample was determined according to the stratified sampling technique in accordance with the criteria of representing the universe. 529 questionnaires were applied and the study is an explanatory field research.

Published: September 2024

In order to understand modern sociocultural spiritual process in Kazakhstan is impossible without reference to the historical intellectual heritage. Throughout history, like many other nationalities, the Kazakh people have associated their spiritual feelings and beliefs with the sacred. In Kazakhstan, along with Islam, many sacred places of pilgrimage and sacrifice have emerged. Mythology, centered around the sacred world of holy places and sacrifices, has become the basis of national cultural values, ethical norms about the unity of people, society and nature. As a requirement of the cultural traditions they adopted, people believed that those dear to them should be respected even after their death. To honor this belief, they engaged in practices such as making offerings and visited the belongings of these people, the places they lived and their graves. The revered sites and notable figures associated with them, including saints, elders, fathers and ancestors, achieved eminence in the eyes of the community through their miracles deeds and exemplary lifestyles. Some of the personalities in the South Kazakhstan region focused on in the study are historical figures, some are religious figures, and some are local folk heroes. The miracles displayed by these individuals, both during their lifetimes and after their deaths, have strengthened people’s determination to visit such sites. The votive culture and pilgrimage tradition among Turks have roots in more pre-Islamic times. Figures such as ancestors or fathers in their own historical cultures, and as saints and dervishes in Islamic culture, always have been regarded with love and respect in Islamic society, with efforts made to immortalize their stories and shrines after deaths. In this study, the most frequently visited votive places and sacred places in the Southern Kazakhstan region were examined within the scope of the reasons why people visit these places and rituals they practice at their visits. These rituals, which are prayers to meet individual needs, have been tried to be explained. Keywords: Kazakhstan, votive culture, sacred places, rituals.

Practice Problem: Veterans hospital readmission problems are challenging, specifically in the heart failure department, which severely impacts the patient's health, mortality, family, and quality of life. Frequent readmissions increase the usage cost, hospital budget, and loss of time from providers to other veterans, and failure to meet the key guidelines of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid for improvement. PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this project was, in veterans with heart failure and one or more frequent hospital readmissions discharged in the last 30 days(P), does the appointment of a dedicated discharge nurse practitioner as a coordinator(I), compared to standard discharge instructions (C), reduce the 30-day hospital readmission rate from the date of last discharge. Evidence: Evidence strongly suggested and supported that the implementation of Transitions of Care Coordination with a multidisciplinary collaboration led by a nurse practitioner reduced the readmission rates within the 30-day period from the last discharge. Intervention: The evidence-based interventions utilized with the appointment of a dedicated nurse practitioner as a discharge coordinator from the time of discharge to follow-up for 30-days while the patients are in their homes by contacting them via video, phone, text, and visiting the patient in person, and setting up follow-up appointments for primary care, specialty care while utilizing community charge nurse resources. Outcome: Results showed a 10% reduction from 23% to 13% within a 30-day period in the heart failure department. The average readmission rate in the veteran's hospital ranged from 19% to 29%. This is a clear indication that this project has excellent future potential. Additionally, all eleven interventions were successfully implemented at a rate higher than 95%. Conclusion: The project achieved a heart failure clinic readmission rate that was less than the hospital and national average. The reduction in the percent of 30-day readmissions was statistically and clinically significant between pre-transitional care and post-transitional care of heart failure veterans. The transitions of care 11 interventions were successfully implemented to standardize an evidence-based practice from the hospital to their home.
Pessimism, Defensive Pessimism, Avoidant Coping, and Career Indecision in High School Students: A Model Test
Authors: Duru Hazel
Published: September 2024

Abstract
High school years constitute one of the critical periods for individuals' career choice and career development. Based on this, it is essential to identify the factors that negatively affect students' career decisions and to intervene against them. This study aimed to contribute to the literature by testing a model that predicts pessimism, defensive pessimism, and avoidant coping to explain career indecision. 778 high school students (587 girls, 191 boys; Mage = 16.4 years, SD = .52) participated in this study, and students completed self-report measures of the above-mentioned constructs. The results showed that pessimism and career indecision were significantly related, with defensive pessimism and avoidant coping supporting a significant serial mediation model between pessimism and career indecision. These results provide substantial empirical evidence and recommendations that suggest promising ways to reduce career indecision in adolescents, pessimism, defensive pessimism, and avoidant coping.
Phase Modulation Side Channels: Jittery JTAG for On-Chip Voltage Measurements
Authors: O’Flynn Colin
Published: September 2024

Measuring fluctuations of the clock phase was identified as a source of leakage in early electromagnetic side-channel investigations. Despite this, only recently was measuring the clock phase (or jitter) of digital signals (not electromagnetic signals) from a target used as a source of exploitable leakage. As the phase of a clock output will be related to signal propagation delay through the target, and this propagation delay is related to voltage, this means that most digital devices perform an unintended phase modulation (PM) of their internal voltage onto clock outputs.This paper first demonstrates an unprofiled CPA attack against a Cortex-M microcontroller using the phase of a clock output, observing the signal on both optically isolated and capacitively isolated paths. The unprofiled attack takes only 2–4x more traces than an attack using a classic shunt-resistor measurement.It is then demonstrated how the JTAG bypass mode can be used to force a clock through a digital device. This forced clock signal can then be used as a highly effective oscilloscope that is located on the target device. As the attack does not require modifications to the device (such as capacitor removal or heat spreader removal) it is difficult to detect using existing countermeasures. The example attack over JTAG uses an unprofiled CPA attack, requiring only about 5x more traces than an ideal shunt-resistor based measurement. In addition, a version of this attack using a fault correlation analysis attack is also demonstrated.Countermeasures are discussed, and a simple resampling countermeasure is tested. All tools both offensive and defensive presented in the paper have been released under open-source licenses.
Robust but Relaxed Probing Model

Masking has become a widely applied and heavily researched method to protect cryptographic implementations against Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) attacks. The success of masking is primarily attributed to its strong theoretical foundation enabling it to formally prove security by modeling physical properties through socalled probing models. Specifically, the robust d-probing model enables us to prove the security for arbitrarily masked hardware circuits, manually or with the assistance of automated tools, even when considering the imperfect nature of physical hardware, including the occurrence of physical defaults such as glitches. However, the generic strategy employed by the robust d-probing model comes with a downside: It tends to over-conservatively model the information leakage caused by glitches meaning that the robust d-probing model considers glitches that can never occur in practice. This implies that in theory, an adversary could gain more information than she would obtain in practice. From a designer’s perspective, this entails that (1) securely designed hardware circuits may need to be withdrawn due to potential insecurity under the robust d-probing model and (2) designs that satisfy the security requirements of the robust d-probing model may incur unnecessary overhead, such as increased circuit size or latency.In this work, we refine the formal treatment of glitches within the robust d-probing model to address glitches more accurately within a formal adversary model. Unlike the robust d-probing model, our approach considers glitches based on the operations performed and the data processed, ensuring that only manifesting glitches are accounted for. As a result, we introduce the Robust but Relaxed (RR) d-probing model, a formal adversary model maintaining the same level of security as the robust d-probing model but without the overly conservative treatment of glitches. Leveraging our new model, we prove the security of LUT-based Masked Dual-Rail with Pre-charge Logic (LMDPL) gadgets, a class of physically secure gadgets reported as insecure based on the robust d-probing model. We provide manual proofs and automated security evaluations employing an updated version of PROLEAD capable of verifying the security of masked circuits under our new model.
