Published: January 2022

Automatic docking is a basic function of intelligent wheelchair bed system. In order to achieve high-precision docking between intelligent wheelchair and U-shaped bed, this paper proposes an optimization method of automatic docking between bed and chair based on multi-sensor information fusion. By installing a variety of sensors, such as depth vision camera and lidar ranging, there is usually cross sensitivity when multiple sensors work together. Based on real sensing technology，wireless sensor network technology and lidar ranging equipment l, a dynamic Bayesian multi-mode information fusion method with asynchronous constraints is proposed. Wireless sensors are used to collect wheelchair pose information in real time. By analyzing the characteristics of the observation information of various sensors, the complementary and redundant information of various sensors in space and time is combined according to optimization criteria. The data fitting between multi-sensor information is carried out efficiently and quickly by surface fitting method. Based on the extended Kalman filter algorithm, the information fusion of IMU and combined sensing unit is realized, and the analysis model is established. Finally, the feasibility of the method is verified by Matlab simulation and the use of Gazebo in ROS to build a simulation experiment environment for fusion algorithm verification.

Authors: Peng-Cheng Huang Peng-Cheng Huang , Peng-Cheng Huang Ching-Chun Chang , Ching-Chun Chang Yung-Hui Li
Published: January 2022

To protect secret message, secret sharing technique divides it into n shares and distributes them to n involved participants. However, it is hardly to prevent a dishonest participant to cheat other by providing a fake share. To overcome this weakness, this paper presents an efficient (k, n)-threshold secret sharing approach with the functionality of cheater identification using meaningful QR codes. The secret message would be split into k pieces, and used as the coefficients of polynomial function to generate n shares. These shares would be concealed into cover QR codes based on its fault tolerance to generate meaningful QR code shares. The meaningful QR code shares are helpful to reduce the curiosity of unrelated persons when transmitted in public channel. The legitimacy of QR code share would be verified before secret reconstruction to prevent cheater in secret revealing procedure. Some experiments were done to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme is efficient, highly secure and highly robust, and it also achieves a higher embedding capacity compared to previous methods.

Published: January 2022

Aquaculture is a vital economic and food source in numerous countries. However, because of environmental limitations and the impact of aquatic diseases, aquaculture requires considerable manpower, involves high material costs, and relies on the experience of aquaculturists to increase production capacity. Water quality is among the most crucial elements in aquaculture. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose an IoT-based smart aquaculture system (ISAS) for detecting the water quality of an aquafarm and providing automatic aeration to increase the survival rate of aquatics. In the ISAS, the parameters used for detecting water quality are temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, and water hardness, which are recorded using different sensors. Users can check the condition of an aquafarm from the sensed data. Moreover, the ISAS can automatically control the aerator and feeder of an aquarium on the basis of sensed data and predefined fuzzy rules. Our experiments revealed that under the same conditions, the shrimp survival rate in an ISAS-based aquarium increased by 33.3% compared with that in conventional aquariums.

Published: January 2022

Background: Polyps of female reproductive tract are found in about 7.8-50% of women. Endometrial polyps are commonly located at the fundal or the tubocornual region. They mechanically affect female’s fertility and disturbs the normal cellular function due to chronic inflammation. To rule out sub clinical endometrial hyperplasia or cancer, endometrial curettage is often recommended. Cervical polyps may grow during pregnancy or mucorrhoea. Aim: To highlight updates to the epidemiology, clinical presentation and diagnostic techniques for gynaecological polyps. Study design: Systemic review Methods: During December 2020 we searched Google scholar, Pub med, Medscape, Web of Science, Scientific Information Database and Magiran research articles from 2010 -2020. The selected articles identified through electronic search were 60 articles and 50 were selected for the review. Results: Endometrial polyps are the most frequently diagnosed gynaecological polyp, their prevalence ranging from 7.8% to 50%. They are implicated in about 50% of cases of abnormal uterine bleeding and 35% of patients presenting with infertility. The developments of high-resolution 2D and 4D ultrasound, contrast enhanced sonography and hysteroscopy helps in diagnosing polyps efficiently. In certain cases, when hysteroscopy cannot be performed sonohysterography and ultrasonography can be used for screening. Hysteroscopy is the gold standard technique for the diagnosis of gynaecological polyps and histopathology is essential for the ultimate diagnosis and exclusion of malignancy. Conclusions: The review of literature suggest that the gynaecological polyps are one of the most common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding and have strong association with infertility as they interfere with implantation of an embryo. Polyps can be confidently diagnosed on ultrasound. Other imaging techniques may provide additional information about the details of the anatomy of female reproductive tract and the polyp itself.

English:

This paper investigates whether or not the influence of mobile phone use among Catholic youth on family communication. Is there any influence on mobile phone use among Catholic teenagers in their communication with their parents or family members? Whether the communication of teenagers with members becomes increasingly locked up by using mobile phones or has no influence at all, it means that the teenagers still communicate well even if they use a mobile phone. The study involved 31 Catholic teenagers in one of the stasi in Kabanjahe Parish, North Sumatera. The analysis of the research’s results was conducted statistically with the Y regression significance test against X and correlation test. Hypothesis testing with a value of -17.19 exceeds the F table value of 4.18 which means there is an influence of mobile phones on negative communication: the higher the use of mobile phones and the ability of users, the lower the communication with family members. Correlation calculation of -0.433 states that there is an inverse (negative) relationship which means the higher the use of mobile phones the lower the communication with family members and the lower the time of mobile phone use the higher the communication with the family.

Bahasa Indonesia:

Tulisan ini bermaksud menyelidiki ada tidaknya pengaruh penggunaan handphone di kalangan remaja Katolik terhadap komunikasi keluarga. Apakah ada pengaruh penggunaan handphone di kalangan remaja Katolik dalam komunikasinya terhadap orang tua atau anggota keluarganya. Apakah komunikasi remaja dengan anggota menjadi semakin berkurung dengan menggunakan handphone ataukah tidak ada pengaruh sama sekali, artinya para remaja tetap berkomunikasi dengan baik biarpun ia menggunakan handphone. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian populasi yang melibatkan 31 remaja Katolik di salah satu stasi di Paroki Kabanjahe Sutamera Utara. Analisa hasil penelitian dilakukan secara statistik dengan uji signifikansi regresi Y terhadap X dan uji korelasi. Pengujian hipotesis dengan nilai -17,19 melebihi nilai F tabel sebesar 4,18 yang berarti ada pengaruh handphone terhadap komunikasi yang bersifat negatif: semakin tinggi penggunaan handphone dan kemampuan pengguna maka semakin rendah berkomunikasi dengan anggota keluarga. Penghitungan korelasi sebesar -0,433 menyatakan ada hubungan yang bersifat terbalik (negatif) yang berarti semakin tinggi penggunaan handphone semakin rendah berkomunikasi dengan anggota keluarga dan semakin rendah waktu penggunaan handphone semakin tinggi berkomunikasi dengan keluarga.

Authors: Shapovalova Viktoriya , Zakharchenko Ivan
Published: January 2022

The results of forensic pharmaceutical monitoring show that criminal cases are most often initiated under Art. 305-322 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. At the same time, investigators appoint forensic narcological examination, forensic medical examination. In addition, we have recorded that in recent years, the pre-trial investigation has also appointed phonoscopic and computer examinations. Phonoscopic examination may be intended to investigate conversations between persons by telephone about the facts of illicit trafficking in psychoactive substances, which were intercepted by operational and investigative bodies with the special permission of the court. If the suspect's activities are related to certain public or private structures, which is reflected in the computer technology that records the various connections of the operation of institutions, then a computer examination may be ordered.
Bilateral Testicular Evisceration Sequel to Trauma: Challenges of Management in Emergency Department
Authors: Sivan Kasturi
Published: January 2022

Introduction The Genitourinary (GU) tract injury is rare with an annual incidence of less than one percent. We present a rare case of traumatic degloving injury of male external genitalia with complete evisceration of bilateral testicles following motor vehicle accident. Case description 29-year-old lorry driver was brought to Emergency department following head-on crash of his lorry into a ravine resulting in chest, abdomen and pelvis slamming onto dashboard. The driver was trapped for 4.5 hours. On arrival, he was conscious but hemodynamically unstable. Clinical examination and Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) was suggestive of left pneumothorax and no evidence of intraabdominal injury. Chest tube was inserted. Genital examination showed scrotal degloving wound with complete evisceration of bilateral testis. He also sustained open fracture of right tibia, fibula and left inferior pubic rami fracture. Upon stabilization, was sent for operation and intraoperatively found to have bilateral testicular rupture. He underwent scrotal exploration, and bilateral orchidopexy. Postoperatively, multiple dialysis sessions were done for rhabdomyolysis. Hormonal study yielded low levels of testosterone. He was discharged home after 2 weeks with testosterone pills. Discussion Challenges in Emergency Department setting would be prompt identification and management of life-threatening injuries along simultaneous management of degloving external genitalia injury and associated injuries. FAST and extended FAST play a key role in managing life threatening conditions. Conclusion Total evisceration of bilateral testis injury are rare. Although not life threatening, should be treated promptly and thoroughly in order to avoid long-term functional and psychological damage.

Published: January 2022

A study was carried out in Acacia auriculiformis plantation belonging to different age, site quality and stocking classes in Kerala, India. Growth measurements involving girth at breast? height (1.37 m above ground) and height were recorded for two successive years from fifty semi-permanent sample plots. In addition to these measurements, miscellaneous tree species growing in these plots were also recorded. Diameter increment and volume (in terms of commercial, pulpwood, and timber over-bark and timber under-bark) increment were computed. Soil samples from depth levels of 0-10, 10-20 cm of pits were taken from fifty sample plots. The soils samples collected from each plot were subjected to physical and chemical analyses to determine texture, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), available N, P, K, exchange acidity (EA), exchangeable Al, Ca, Mg and available Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn using standard procedures. Effect of soil properties on the growth of A. auriculiformis was studied through empirical approach. The study has also shed light on the optimum levels of soil attributes, which maximize the tree growth. It was observed that the influence of soil properties on tree diameter/volume growth varied with the soil depth levels. In 0-10 cm depth level, no significant relationship between soil properties and tree diameter growth, while significant relationship was found between timber under-bark volume growth and sand in 0-10 cm layer. In 10-20 cm depth level, the tree diameter growth was significantly influenced by soil K and timber under-bark volume growth was significantly affected by soil pH. Since the empirical models obtained were all linear in nature in all the depth levels, the optimum levels of soil attributes, which maximize the tree growth, could not be determined.

Authors: Maryono Maryono , Laksono Riftian Ageng
Published: January 2022

Cordova is one of the cities that became the center of the development of Islamic knowledge in the West during the reign of the Umayyah Dynasty II in Andalusia (now known as Muslim Spain). During the reign of ʿAbdu Al-Rahmān Al-Nāṣir, Cordova became the most cultured city in Europe, and together with Constantinople and Baghdad, became one of the three cultural centers in the world. This paper aims to describe the intellectual development and knowledge of Islam in Cordova during the Caliph ʿAbdu Al-Rahmān Al-Nāṣir, the Umayyah Dynasty. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis with a historical approach. This method is a process of critically examining and analyzing past records and relics in the form of written text. The results of the literary analysis carried out show that Cordova has made progress in science and culture since it was ruled by the Amirs of Umayyah descent who stood alone apart from the power of the Abbasids in Baghdad. The triumph of Islamic science in Andalusia is very large in Europe, both in science, science, fiqh, language, and literature. The triumph of Islam and intellectual and scientific development to be seen since the Umayyah Dynasty Caliph ʿAbdu Al-Rahmān Al-Nāṣir. Islamic education materials that develop and expand are the Qur'an, theology, Arabic grammar, poetry, lexicography, history, and geography. ʿAbdu Al-Rahmān Al-Nāṣir built a university and developed a library. The University of Cordova stands majestically and becomes an icon of Andalusia so that Andalusia is famous throughout Europe. This university stands upright with the Abdurrahman III Mosque, which in the end developed into a famous higher education equivalent to Al Azhar University in Cairo and Nizamiyah University in Baghdad. Another institution that is the center of scientific civilization and intellectual development is the library. The library is provided for the wider community as a means of learning science. The development of books also increased after the discovery of paper technology in the Islamic world.
Pendalilan Abdu Al Aziz Al Kinaniy di Kitab Al Haydah Dalam Menetapkan Akidah Al Qur’a Kalam Allah
Authors: Bamualim Mubarak
Published: January 2022

Sebaik-baik zaman adalah tiga generasi pertama: zaman kenabian, zaman sahabat dan zaman tabi’in, pada zaman ini belum terjadi perbedaan pendapat di dalam masalah pokok akidah. Pada zaman Nabi dan dua khalīfah al rāshidīn belum muncul kelompok-kelompok menyimpang. Di akhir kekuasaan Uthmān muncul kelompok khawārij, kemudian pada zaman Ali muncul kelompok Rafīḍah dan seterusnya muncullah kelompok-kelompok yang lainnya seperti Qadariyyah, Jabariyyah, Muʿtazilah dan Jahmiyyah. Kelompok-kelompok tersebut mencetuskan akidah-akidah baru yang belum pernah dinukilkan dari Nabi dan para sahabat beliau, diantara akidah baru yang berkembang dan dimunculkan Jahmiyyah adalah akidah al-Qurʾān adalah makhluk. Akidah ini menjadi akidah negara pada masa dinasti Abbāsiyyah, tercatat dalam sejarah tiga khalīfah Abbāsiyyah yang memaksakan akidah ini untuk dianut oleh umat Islam saat itu, mereka adalah: al-Maʾmūn, al-Muʿtaṣim, dan al-Wāthiq. Meskipun demikian terdapat ulama yang menentang akidah tersebut diantaranya adalah ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Kināniy, pertentangannya terhadap akidah al-Qurʾān makhluk tergambar jelas dalam buku beliau al-Ḥaydah. Pada penelitian ini penulis mencoba untuk mengeksploitasi tentang dalil-dalil yang digunakan oleh ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Kināniy di dalam menetapkan akidah al-Qurʾān kalām Allah. Setelah menganalisa kitab tersebut penulis mendapati bahwa ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Kināniy di dalam menetapkan akidah al-Qurʾān kalām Allah berdalil dengan tiga pendalilan, yang pertama adalah al-Qurʾān, yang kedua adalah logika dan yang ketiga adalah analogi.
Perang Badar dalam Perspektif Ekonomi Sosial
Authors: Fahamsyah Fadlan
Published: January 2022

Nabi Muhammad Ṣallallah ʿalaihi wa Sallam telah menghadapi berbagai macam gangguan dan penolakan dalam menegakkan dakwah Islam dari kaum kafir Quraish. Gangguan tersebut terus menerus dihadapi oleh Nabi Ṣallallah ʿalaihi wa Sallam hingga beliau hijrah ke kota Madinah, di sanalah bermulanya sejarah baru dunia Islam. Pada tahun kedua hijriah terjadi peperangan besar dalam sejarah Islam yaitu perang Badr al-Kubrā. Motiv dari meletusnya peperangan ini tidak hanya didasari oleh hal keyakinan agama saja. Namun juga terdapat motiv-motiv lain yang memicunya. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengungkap motiv-motiv tersebut.

Satellite remote sensing of turbulent heat fluxes
Authors: SCHULZ JÖRG
Published: January 2022

This paper reviews recent progress and remaining problems in the derivation of turbulent heat fluxes from satellite data. Satellite derived flux fields are important for the evaluation of coupled ocean-atmosphere circulation models, they can provide forcing for ocean models, and have the potential to better understand the spatial and temporal variability of the exchange of heat and momentum between ocean and atmosphere. Here the focus is on summarising which data sets already exist and what techniques were used to derive them. Estimates of surface wind speeds from scatterometers and passive microwave radiometers made large progress over the last decade. Somewhat troublesome are still the methods for deriving air humidity and air temperature. Comparisons of existing global satellite derived data sets among each other revealed large regional differences. However, the agreement among the satellite data sets is much better than that with well established in situ and reanalysis data sets. Therefore it is necessary to foster assessments of the quality of all three kinds of data. The SEAFLUX initiative provides at least a very good database and builds a suitable framework to assess the quality of existing data sets as well as retrievals on the pixel scale.
Impact of QuikSCAT derived wind fields in a mesoscale non-hydrostatic model
Authors: SINGH RANDHIR , PAL P. K.
Published: January 2022

Mesoscale models need high-resolution data on atmospheric parameters. QuikSCAT provides the horizontal components of winds over the global ocean with a very high horizontal resolution.  In this paper, QuikSCAT derived wind fields have been used to improve the initial state of mesoscale circulation in a non-hydrostatic mesoscale model. The comparison of initial state using global data with and without QuikSCAT data has clearly identified the benefits of addition of important mesoscale circulation features. Considering the wind circulation forecast, the control run that used the initial state without QuikSCAT data predict very weak low pressure area. In contrast, the experimental run with QuikSCAT data could forecast it up to 48 hours in a way that agreed well with the observed circulation.

Meteorological data from microwave sensors are very useful over the data sparse regions such as the Indian Ocean. Assimilation experiments have been carried out at NCMRWF using surface wind speeds and total precipitable water content (TPWC) from microwave sensors on-board various satellites providing meteorological data. These data when assimilated at NCMRWF have affected the analyses and forecast significantly during monsoon seasons. The dry bias of the analyses gets removed with these data and description of monsoon circulation improved. Several experiments have been carried out using data from the Indian remote sensing satellite IRS-P4. The analyses of Orissa super cyclone improved considerably when data from various microwave sensors were used. TPWC data seems to be very crucial parameter for modeling purpose. Due care must be taken in the retrieval and assimilation techniques so that this parameter is represented correctly.
Satellite techniques for trace gas measurements

Satellite measurements of atmospheric minor constituents are very useful as they provide frequent global coverage over a long period of time. Due to technical developments measurements of ozone and other related trace gases are becoming possible since the past decade even in the troposphere. Measurements in the infrared and microwave are being utilised with the advent of new technology. Different types of viewing geometries of satellite observations and retrieval algorithms are discussed with examples for temperature and ozone, respectively. Since India is capable of launching satellites, it is suggested that monitoring some of the key pollutants along with meteorological parameters will be important to understand their transport and chemistry in the tropical region using a low inclination orbit satellite.

India Meteorological Department (IMD) maintains a wide network of radars for the detection and study of severe weather phenomena like cyclones, thunderstorms, gust front etc. and for deriving upper air wind profile.  To keep pace with the fast developments in the field of weather radar technology, IMD is gradually replacing its conventional radars with digital radars, a few of them with Doppler capabilities. An S-band Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) has been inducted into India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) Cyclone Detection Radar (CDR) network recently at Chennai as a replacement to the outlived analogue S-band radar  and is declared operational from 21 February 2002. Salient features, both hardware and software, of the radar are discussed in this article.
Solar UV, stratospheric ozone and UVB
Authors: KANE R.  P.
Published: January 2022

The variations of stratospheric ozone and UVB observed at ground were compared with those of solar indices. During sequences of 27-day oscillations, X-ray had very large amplitudes (exceeding 50%), EUV near        30 nm had ~20%, Lyman alpha 121.6 nm ~10%, Mg II 280 nm ~5%, and continua 180-210 nm ~2%, 210-240 nm ~1.5%, 240-300 nm ~1%, 300-350 nm ~0.5%. There were distinct peaks seen in all of these, with spacing of roughly about 27 days. For effects on stratospheric ozone, the relevant wavelengths are mostly in the continua. In the 27-day sequences, the Dobson ozone at Arosa (47° N, 10° E) showed large fluctuations (~50%) with many peaks, but the peaks did not match with the peaks of solar indices. During one such 27-day sequence, the TOMS ozone overpass over Kagoshima, Japan (32° N, 121° E) and the UVB (295-325 nm) observed at Kagoshima showed large day-to-day fluctuations, ~20% for ozone, ~50% or UVB, but the peaks of ozone and UVB did not match with each other, nor with the peaks of solar indices, thus indicating altogether different mechanisms as their causes. In long-term changes for Arosa Dobson ozone, the largest fluctuations were the seasonal variation (~40% range, peak to trough) and the next largest were the QBO (Quasi-biennial oscillation, ~7%, peak to trough). Solar cycle variation ranges of ozone (peak to trough) were only ~2.6% in cycle 19 (sunspot maximum number 210), ~3.5% in cycle 20 (sunspot maximum number 111) and uncertain thereafter, because of the global depletion which started in 1980. For 1991-1997, the monthly values of ozone at Thessaloniki, Greece (40° N, 23° E) were anti-correlated with 305 nm UVB (1% ozone decrease corresponded to ~2% UVB increase), but poorly correlated with 325 nm UVB, indicating that ozone-UVB relationship was highly wavelength-dependent. However, whereas solar indices had a maximum in 1991 and a minimum in 1996, neither ozone nor any of the two UVB 305 nm and 325 nm showed resemblance with the solar index variations. In particular, ozone level was high in 1991 but decreased considerably within two years (by 1993). A comparison with ozone at Arosa (47° N) and Syowa (69° S) showed that this drop is not related to solar cycle but is due to the global depletion of ozone.
Evaluating bioclimatic aspects over the Vidarbha region
Authors: SARKAR JAYANTA , GADGIL A. S.
Published: January 2022

Some of the important bioclimatic aspects, outgoing water budget from the human body in terms of respiratory and non-respiratory evaporative losses, human discomfort and wind chill have been studied in this paper.

               Outgoing water budget has been computed using monthly normals of the maximum temperature and vapour pressure for a number of fairly well distributed stations in the Vidarbha region. Discomfort has been quantified using Thom’s (1959) Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) or Discomfort Index and wind chill aspects have been studied using the ‘wind chill index (WCI)’ of Siple and Passel (1945).

               The study reveals that total water loss from the human body, sum of respiratory and non-respiratory losses, is maximum (384 g. day-1) in summer and minimum (116 g. day-1) in monsoon. However, highest respiratory loss of        213 g.day-1 is observed in winter and that of lowest (66 g. day-1) in monsoon. Sensible sweating is very much felt in summer.  However, it is not at all felt in winter and post monsoon. Though mornings are comfortable in March, yet the entire region starts experiencing discomfort in the evening hours.  As expected, in April and May maximum discomfort prevails. Buldhana district, in the western part of the study region, remains comfortable both during winter and summer in the morning hours. Average cooling power over Vidarbha in winter is observed to be 342 W/m2.  At Nagpur, maximum cooling power (389 W/m2) has been noticed in this season. Isopleth analysis of monthly mean hourly wind chill reveals that in peak winter (December and January) only during 1300-1700 hours Nagpur climate is ‘pleasant’ and rest of the day is ‘cool’ to ‘very cool’. However, in peak summer (May) only during 0400-0600 hours climate is ‘pleasant’ and remaining part of the day is ‘warm’ to ‘hot’. Even in April, despite its being a prominent summer month, climate remains ‘cool’ from 0300 to 0700 hours.
Agroclimatic requirement of large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) for the state of Sikkim
Authors: KASHYAPI A.
Published: January 2022

The present study was carried out to identify the cause of major yield losses of large cardamom in the state of Sikkim.  For this purpose three years meteorological data from two stations viz. Gangtok and Tadong and the potential evapotranspiration data from two adjacent stations located in the sub-Himalayan West Bengal were used for computation of heat unit (GDD) and agroclimatic rainfall index (ARI).

The study  revealed that rainfall availability and potential evapotranspiration followed the same trend with the highest value at vegetative stage and the lowest value at lag phase of the crop.  The total heat unit requirement of the crop was very high; its value increased from nursery seedling to transplanting stages and then reduced sharply during lag phase; afterwards the peak was attained at vegetative growth stage, which sharply reduced at later growth stages. Very high ARI values were recorded at transplanting and flowering stages for both the stations. The postmortem study suggests that the crop requires well distributed, plentiful rainfall with high relative humidity and cool temperature, which were not available during 1998-99, affecting the crop severely  at secondary flowering stage.
