Gated Cross-Attention for Universal Speaker Extraction: Pay attention to the Speaker’s Presence
Authors: Zhang Yiru , Li Zeke , Liu Bijing , Fan Haiwei , Yang Yong , Yang Qun
Published: September 2023

Current speaker extraction models have achieved good performance in extracting target speech from highly overlapped multi-talker speech. But in real-world applications, the multi-talker speech is sparsely overlapped and the target speaker may be absent from the speech mixture, making it difficult for the model to extract desired speech in this situation. The universal speaker extraction is proposed to solve the problem by evaluating the quality of estimated speech signals and silence. However, the design of existing universal speaker extraction models does not take into account distinguishing the presence or absence of the target speaker. In this paper, we propose a gated cross-attention network for universal speaker extraction. In our model, the cross-attention mechanism learns the correlation between the target speaker and the speech to distinguish whether the target speaker presents or not. According to the correlation, the gate mechanism makes the model focus on extracting speech when the target is present, while filtering out the features when the target is absent. Meanwhile, we propose a joint loss function to optimize the network in both target present and absent scenarios. We conducted experiments on the LibriMix dataset with various scenarios and evaluated the performance in terms of speech quality and speaker extraction error rate. The experiment results show that our proposed method outperforms the baselines in all of the scenarios.
A Benchmark of Integrated Magnetometers and Magnetic Gradiometers
Authors: Close Gael
Published: September 2023

This survey paper compiles and benchmarks the performance of integrated magnetic sensors, in terms of their noise and full-scale magnetic field. In total, we collected performance metrics of 31 sensors realized in various technologies. For each sensor, we derived a noise model to estimate the noise under the same conditions. We obtained a comprehensive benchmark with a focus on integrated devices. We also measured the noise spectrum of 11 of those sensors to confirm our noise model. Given that for many emerging applications, such as tactile, current, torque and biomagnetic sensing, the signal of interest is the field gradient to reject magnetic stray fields, we extended the benchmark to gradiometers. We developed a low-noise measurement setup and a low-field gradient (full scale: 10 μT/mm) generation setup to characterize magnetic gradiometers in this regime. The paper discusses the key sensor trade-off between precision and range, and summarizes the technology trends graphically on a trade-off curve, providing broad insight.
On the Performance of Uplink Power-Domain NOMA with Imperfect CSI and SIC in 6G Networks

Published: September 2023

Sixth generation (6G) networks must adopt spectral-efficient communication techniques to ensure massive connectivity for coexisting humans and machines. However, the impact of various practical issues must be analyzed and addressed, including imperfect channel state information (CSI), stemming by the channel estimation error (CEE) and feedback delay (F-D) with time-variant channels. This paper focuses on these issues in the context of uplink networks, relying on power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). Moreover, the degrading effect of imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC), when randomly deployed multiple mobile terminals communicate with a single base station (BS) is considered. The system performance is measured by means of outage probability, error probability, ergodic rate, throughput, energy efficiency, and spectral efficiency. Analytical, asymptotic, and computer simulation results demonstrate that CEE causes system coding gain losses for low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) while the disruptive effects of CEE become negligible in the high SNR. Results also show that F-D does not degrade the system performance in the low SNR but it causes system coding gain losses for high SNR. Also, imperfect SIC does not have any detrimental effect on the system performance for low SNR but results in reduced coding gain for high SNR. The theoretical and simulation findings of this study quantify the detrimental effect of practical limitations in NOMA-based uplink networks with coexisting users and devices, facilitating the adoption of optimized parameters to improve network performance.

Published: September 2023

Background/Objectives: High sugar intake among Koreans is primarily attributed to beverages, including fruit and vegetable (FV) beverages. This study aimed to investigate the sugar content of commercially available FV beverages. Methods: A total of 159 FV beverages were collected between March and July 2021 and categorized based on nutritional labeling availability, mandatory labeling status, and the main ingredients. Sugar content and serving size were recorded for products with nutritional labeling, while the standardized Somogyi method was used to analyze sugar content for products without labeling. Results: Unlabeled products (N=45) had higher sugar contents (10.5 g/100 mL, 17.7 g/serving size) than labeled products (N=114, 8.1 g/100 mL, 12.8 g/serving size). The difference was pronounced for products containing FV mixture as the main ingredient (25.7 g/serving size for unlabeled products, N=20; 14.3 g/serving size for labeled products, N=58), with unlabeled FV mixture-based products exceeding 50% of the recommended daily intake (less than 50 g for 2,000kcal). Mandatorily labeled products (N=75) had higher sugar content (8.6 g/100 mL, 14.4 g/serving size) than voluntarily labeled products (N=39, 7.1 g/100 mL, 9.7 g/serving size). Fruit-based (N=30) and FV mixture-based products (N=58) contained more sugar (13.4-14.3 g/serving size) than vegetable-based products (N=26, 7.1 g/serving size). The sugar content exceeded the recommended daily intake (50 g) in more than 3.3 servings of mandatorily labeled products containing fruits or FV mixture as the main ingredient (15.1 g sugar/serving size) and in more than 4 servings of voluntarily labeled products containing FV mixture as the main ingredient (12.4 g sugar/serving size). Conclusion/Implications: The results will enhance the understanding of sugar content in FV beverages and suggest the importance of examining nutritional labeling availability, sugar content, serving size, and main ingredients during FV beverage selection, along with expanding both voluntary and mandatory nutritional labeling policies.

An analysis of the spatial morphology of cohesive village in Leizhou Peninsula of western Guangdong Province
Authors: Zeng Yan
Published: September 2023

There is a cohesive village with a highly geometric spatial form in the Leizhou Peninsula of western Guangdong province. Due to the lack of historical records, scholars generally believe that the spatial form of this village is a variation of the local comb-type village, influenced by the typical village form of the main migration areas and provincial administrative regions. However, the evolution of this village form in the area did not exist. The existing studies are unable to explain the development of cohesive villages. Through field research combined with spatial observation techniques, this work explored the spatial form generation mechanism of the cohesive village from two aspects, natural environment adaptation, and social environment adaptation and found that there is a spatial form isomorphism among this village and the cross-administrative comb-type village, and the “nine dragons toward a pearl” village. The established clues are based on isomorphism that can provide a reference for the exploration of the cohesive village and offer new perspectives and methods for the study of the culture of similar dwellings where historical data are lacking.
Does Informatization Cause the Relative Substitution Bias of Agricultural Machinery Inputs for Labor Inputs? Evidence from Apple Farmers in China
Authors: Zhang Congying , Xiang Jingru , Chang Qian
Published: September 2023

The change of information scenario may change the market transaction cost of different factors, thus changing the relative price of factors and inducing the substitution of production factors, but there is no research to prove this. Therefore, this study takes labor-saving technology (mechanical substitution of labor) as an example, evaluates informatization from three aspects of information technology access, information technology application and information literacy comprehensively, and uses the probit model and CMP method to analyze whether informatization causes the substitution of agricultural machinery inputs for labor inputs and its heterogeneity. The results show that informatization has a significant negative impact on farmers' choice of labor-saving technology, and the result is robust at the regional level, but the negative impact of informatization on farmers' choice of labor-saving technology in the eastern region is smaller than that in the western region. The level of information literacy has the largest negative impact on farmers' choice of labor-saving technology, followed by the level of access to information technology, and the level of application of information technology has the smallest impact. The study concludes that informatization has not led to the significant substitution of labor by machinery in apple production. Thus, the results are important for enriching the theory of induced change in agricultural technology in the context of informatization.

Atmosferin və torpağın çirklənməsi insan üçün nə qədər təhlükəlidirsə, hidrosferin çirklənməsi də gündəlik təhlükə hesab edilməlidir. Buna səbəb suyun həlledici olmasıdır. Ona qarışan tullantılar molekulyar və ion formasına keçərək ətraf mühütdəki canlı aləmi asanlıqla kütləvi şəkildə zəhərləyir. Suyun dövr etməsi və axımı ilə əlaqədar olaraq zəhərlənmə geniş ərazilərə yayılır. Bu yayılma çaylarda daha sürətlə baş verir və yüzlərlə kilometr məsafəyə yayılır. Suların çirklənməsi onda həll olmuş oksigenin miqdarının azalmasına səbəb olur. Oksigen azlığı hidrofauna və hidrofloranın dəyişməsinə gətirib çıxarır. Nəticədə su mühütində yaşayan bitki və heyvanat aləmi üçün təhlükəli vəziyyət yaranır.
Su mənbələrinin durmadan çirklənməsi onların öz-özünə (təbii) təmizlənmə prosesini çətinləşdirir və buna sərf olunan biovaxtı xeyli artırır. Sənaye mənşəli tullantılar sudakı canlı aləmin normal həyat fəaliyyətini pozmaqla yanaşı hövzədəki suyun fiziki-kimyəvi xassələrini də dəyişir. Belə sular nə məişətdə istifadəyə, nə kənd təsərrufatında suvarmaya nə də ki, texniki məqsədlər üçün yaramır. Çirklənmiş sulardakı şəraitə uyğunlaşıb yaşayan bir sıra canlıların (ilbizlər, balıqlar yosunlar və s) insanlar tərəfindən istifadə edilməsi yeni-yeni xəstəliklərin yaranmasına gətirir. Bunun səbəbi bir sıra konserogen maddələrin sudakı canlıların orqanizimində tədricən toplanaraq insan üçün təhlükəli həddə çatmasıdır.

Məqalədə avtomobil nəqliyyat vasitəsinin seçilmiş nöqtələrindən məsafəni ölçə bilən ultrasəs sensoru təsvir edilmişdir. Sensor, yerlə əks olunan ultrasəs impulsunun uçuş vaxtının ölçülməsinə əsaslanır. Məhdud müqayisə vasitəsi ilə asanlıqla aşkar edilə bilən əks olunan impulsları əldə etmək üçün məhdud optimallaşdırma texnikası tətbiq olunur. Ultrasəs çeviricilərin tezlik reaksiyasını nəzərə alan belə texnika, alt dalğa uzunluğunun aşkar edilməsinə imkan verir. 40 kHz-lik pyezoelektrik-çevirici əsaslı sensorla aparılmış eksperimental sınaqlar, aşağı sürətdə 1 mm standart qeyri-müəyyənlik göstərdi; daha yüksək qeyri-müəyyənlikdə belə, sensor hələ də 30 m / s-ə qədər sürətlə işləyir. Bir çox hallarda ilk avtomobil avadanlıqlarına uyğun olan sensor yalnız aşağı dəyərli komponentlərdən ibarətdir və ən yaxşı nəticələr vermək üçün müxtəlif şərtlərə öz-özünə uyğunlaşa bilir. Sensor əvvəlcə kalibrlənmiş və laboratoriyada 0,1-0,6 m məsafə aralığında və 0-40C temperatur aralığında sınaqdan keçirilmişdir. Məsafəyə uyğun 0.3 mm xəttiliyin təcrübi standart yayınması olduğu aşkar edilmişdir, bu halda temperatur effekti gözlənildiyi kimi 0,2 mm-dən az standart yayınmaya səbəb olur.
Havanı dəyişən sürətli sərinkeşlə hərəkət etdirərək 10 m/s sürətə qədər hava burulğanlıq effekti araşdırılmışdır; səs-küy ölçmə sistemi və siqnal avtomatik dəyişdirmə qurğusu, əlavə pyezoelektrik çevirici ilə süni şəkildə ultrasəs yaradaraq sınaqdan keçirilmişdir. 0-40C aralığında temperatur və 0,1-0,6 m aralığında olan məsafələr üçün akustik səs olmadığı təqdirdə məsafənin hamar səthdən ölçüldüyü zaman ümumi standart qeyri-müəyyənlik 1 mm-dən yaxşıdır.
Ölçmə başlığı avtomobilin hərəkəti zamanı yay hündürlüyünü ölçmək üçün dörd potensiometr sensoru ilə təchiz edilmiş avtomobilin arxasına quraşdırılmışdır. Ultrasəs sensoru və potensiometr çıxışlarını qeyd etmək üçün portativ rəqəmsal qeyd cihazı istifadə edilmişdir. Sınaqlar asfalt və kələ-kötür yerdə müxtəlif sürətlərdə aparılmışdır.
Dörd potensiometr çıxışı ölçülmüş ultrasəs məsafə ilə müqayisə ediləcək məsafə referans dəyərini hesablamaq üçün istifadə edilmişdir. Potensiometrlər vasitəsilə ölçülən yay hündürlüyünə şin deformasiyalarının əlavə edilməsi ilə qiymətləndirilmiş son yay hündürlüyü, avtomobil gövdəsinin müstəvisini təyin etmək üçün istifadə edilmişdir. Ultrasəs sensorun istehsal etməli olduğu məsafəyə uyğun olan məsafə referans dəyəri, ölçmə başlığı koordinatlarını təyin edilmiş faza tənliyinə daxil edərək təyin edilmişdir.

Parijoto fruit is obtained from Bandungan, Semarang Regency, Central Java. Extraction was carried out by maceration method with 70% ethanol solvent then concentrated using a rotary evaporator. The total phenolic and flavonoid content amount was determined using the colorimetric method with Folin-ciocalteau complex reagent on phenolic with gallic acid as the reference standard and AlCl3 complex reagent on flavonoids with quercetin as the reference standard. Absorbance was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that the color of the viscous extract of Parijoto fruit was dark brown with a yield of 6.67% w/w. The total phenolic content of the ethanol extract of Parijoto fruit was 21.67 µgGAE/g extract and the total flavonoid content was 9.21 µg QE/g extract.

Les décompensations cardiaques droites émaillent l’histoire naturelle des hypertensions pulmonaires (HTP) et constituent la première cause de mortalité dans cette pathologie. Leur prise en charge repose sur l’identification et la prise en charge des facteurs déclenchants ou aggravants, l’optimisation de la volémie, du débit cardiaque et de la pression artérielle systémique (à l’aide d’inotropes positifs et de vasopresseurs) et enfin, la baisse de la post charge ventriculaire droite. Le monitorage constitue un élément essentiel de la prise en charge en réanimation. En cas d’insuffisance cardiaque droite réfractaire à un traitement médical optimal, le recours à une assistance circulatoire et à la transplantation pulmonaire en super urgence peut s’avérer nécessaire. Compte tenu de la complexité de la prise en charge des patients atteints d’HTP, il est nécessaire d’adresser ces patients dans des centres experts disposant de toutes les options thérapeutiques.

Published: September 2023

Le différentiel entre les besoins en temps de kinésithérapie et les moyens alloués aux services de réanimation oblige les professionnels à trouver des solutions pour maintenir la qualité et la sécurité des soins. Nous avons conçu un outil de priorisation développé à partir de la matrice d’Eisenhower et des bilans kinésithérapiques associés aux diagnostics médicaux. Cet outil est basé sur la concentration du temps de kinésithérapie sur les actes relevant de la compétence des rééducateurs. Les besoins des patients sont classés par ordre d’importance selon leur état fonctionnel et par ordre d’urgence selon le diagnostic médical. Cet outil attribue un grade à chaque patient. Les patients sont pris en charge selon des grades décroissants. Sa mise en place a permis de garantir la qualité de la prise en charge kinésithérapique dans des contextes de tension démographique.
Modeling of high-intensity accelerograms based on the wavelet transform
Authors: Kharlanova Svetlana , Kharlanov Vladimir
Published: September 2023

In the deterministic analysis of building structures, instrumental or synthesized accelerograms are used as initial data. As a rule, earthquake records corresponding to low-intensity accelerograms are available at each site. Very often, instrumental recordings of high-intensity earthquakes are missing. To correct this situation, an algorithm has been developed for modeling low-intensity accelerograms to high-intensity accelerograms using a wavelet transform.

As an efficiency of this algorithm, a comparative analysis of the reaction spectra of linear

oscillators, as well as the pulse and Arias energy criteria for synthesized and instrumental

accelerograms was carried out.
Innovative approach to mitigate aflatoxin and micronutrient problems in complementary foods (CFs) for health and economic wellbeing
Authors: Tiisekwa Bendantunguka , Suleiman Rashid , Tiisekwa Adili
Published: September 2023

Complementary foods (CFs) provided to infants and young children (IYC) in sub-Saharan Africa contain ingredients that are susceptible to aflatoxin contamination. Chronic dietary exposure to aflatoxins is associated with serious health consequences. CF for thin porridge was developed by combining seven ingredients namely, finger millet, soya beans, orange fleshed sweet potato, cassava, breadfruit, baobab and moringa aiming to produce a nutrient dense and aflatoxin safe CF. The developed formulation was evaluated for safety with a focus on total aflatoxin and aflatoxin B1 and microbiological parameters, fibre and micronutrients especially iron and zinc. After passing safety test, the formulations (normal and instant porridge types) were evaluated for acceptability, cookability preference and market performance. The formulated product passed safety and overall quality tests. Market response was very good suggesting that more work should be undertaken in the direction of scale up and dissemination for wider availability and use. Children and persons of other ages can now use a highly nutritional quality and guaranteed aflatoxin safe product.
Imitation and Innovation of Practices in Science and Technology: Lessons from Asia and Europe for Tanzania
Authors: Nzunda Emmanuel , Mayeka James
Published: September 2023

Imitation and innovation are often seen as opposing paths to advancement in science and technology. However, this paper argues that a balanced approach that combines both imitation and innovation could accelerate Tanzania's development in these areas. This study has four specific objectives, namely, to assess: (1) The role of imitation and innovation of practices in science and technology; (2) Challenges that Tanzania faces in imitation and innovation of practices in science and technology; (3) Lessons for Tanzania in imitation and innovation in science and technology from Asia and Europe; and, (4) Strategies that Tanzania may use to benefit from imitation and innovation in science and technology lessons from Asia and Europe. By reviewing the literature on the interplay between imitation and innovation in Asia and Europe, the paper demonstrates how these regions have used both strategies to achieve rapid development in their science and technology sectors. The study found that imitation and innovation are important drivers of economic development for countries. Asia and Europe adapted strategies such as copycat, frugality, social innovation, the role of knowledge and technology transfer, innovation ecosystems, strong institutions, adapted disruption, balancing exploration and exploitation, systems of innovation, and intellectual properties for steering their development. For Tanzania, the paper recommends learning from the success of Asian countries like Japan and South Korea in imitating and improving their technology, as well as European countries like Germany and Sweden in cultivating an education culture that values innovation while taking advantage of the latest technologies and best practices from other countries. However, shortage of funding in the education system, poor infrastructure, lack of skilled workforce, and limited research and development might hamper the imitation and innovation in science and technology in Tanzania. Current government efforts are geared towards removing these bottlenecks.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a significant public health challenge and is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in developed countries. Despite advances in cancer treatment, the 5-year survival rate for patients with PDAC remains less than 5%. In recent years, neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) has emerged as a promising treatment option for many cancer types, including locally advanced PDAC, with the potential to improve patient outcomes. To analyze the role of NAT in the setting of locally advanced PDAC over the past decade, a systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science. The results suggest that NAT may reduce the local mass size, promote tumor downstaging, and increase the likelihood of resection. These findings are supported by the latest evidence-based medical literature and the clinical experience of our center. Despite the potential benefits of NAT, there are still challenges that need to be addressed. One such challenge is the lack of consensus on the optimal timing and duration of NAT. Improved criteria for patient selection are needed to further identify PDAC patients likely to respond to NAT. In conclusion, NAT has emerged as a promising treatment option for locally advanced PDAC. However, further research is needed to optimize its use and to better understand the role of NAT in the management of this challenging disease. With continued advances in cancer treatment, there is hope of improving the outcomes of patients with PDAC in the future.

Mampukah Budaya Organisasi Pemerintah Menyatukan Gen X, Gen Y dan Gen Z?
Authors: Kasih Pustika Chandra
Published: September 2023

Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z are labeling the name of a generation with a certain year of birth with the unique character of each. Differences in perspectives on how to conduct communication between superiors and subordinates in the position structure in this bureaucracy are interesting things to study. The theory of organizational culture is a reference in examining how these three generations interpret culture within the organization through the performances that occur in their work environment. The purpose of this research is to present a description of the intergenerational process of meaning forming organizational culture in the government work environment. The researcher chose an interpretive approach with the aim of observing the realities on the ground without generalizing all members of society. Qualitative research methods are presented with field data based on the results of in-depth interviews with employees who have the capacity to answer questions. In conclusion, organizational culture is defined differently from generation to generation. The differences in characters and perspectives of the three generations experience obstacles and cause conflict, but can still be resolved by adaptation and compromise. Technological developments have contributed to changes in organizational culture which are the result of the affiliation of Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z in the government bureaucracy, especially in the Ministry of Public Works and Housing.
