Published: December 2020

In the medical domain, brain image classification is an extremely challenging field. Medical images play a vital role in making the doctor's precise diagnosis and in the surgery process. Adopting intelligent algorithms makes it feasible to detect the lesions of medical images quickly, and it is especially necessary to extract features from medical images. Several studies have integrated multiple algorithms toward medical images domain. Concerning feature extraction from the medical image, a vast amount of data is analyzed to achieve processing results, helping physicians deliver more precise case diagnoses. Image processing mechanism becomes extensive usage in medical science to advance the early detection and treatment aspects. In this aspect, this paper takes tumor, and healthy images as the research object and primarily performs image processing and data augmentation process to feed the dataset to the neural networks. Deep neural networks (DNN), to date, have shown outstanding achievement in classification and segmentation tasks. Carrying this concept into consideration, in this study, we adopted a pre-trained model Resnet_50 for image analysis. The paper proposed three diverse neural networks, particularly DNN, CNN, and ResNet-50. Finally, the splitting dataset is individually assigned to each simplified neural network. Once the image is classified as a tumor accurately, the OTSU segmentation is employed to extract the tumor alone. It can be examined from the experimental outcomes that the ResNet-50 algorithm shows high accuracy 0.996, precision 1.00 with best F1 score 1.0, and minimum test losses of 0.0269 in terms of Brain tumor classification. Extensive experiments prove our offered tumor detection segmentation efficiency and accuracy. To this end, our approach is comprehensive sufficient and only requires minimum pre-and post-processing, which allows its adoption in various medical image classification & segmentation tasks.
Differences in ungulate population use in different hunting grounds in Lithuania
Authors: Barkauskas Tomas
Published: December 2020

Abundant ungulate populations are considered ecosystem drivers that affect forestry and agriculture. Their management is ecologically and economically based on game density regulations, considering the balance between density and carrying capacity of the territory, population status and dynamics, and hunting needs.

Although the population status and dynamics are not a new question, it is still unclear how to manage populations properly depending on the hunting intensity. We aimed to analyse and compare the ungulate population status like moose, red deer, roe deer and wild boar in the Punia pine forest, where the commercial hunting is conducted, and in the hunting grounds managed by hunter clubs in Prienai forest. We performed the study during four hunting seasons 2009 - 2013. The data on harvesting and abundance were obtained from the field works and using the official statistics of the Ministry of Environment.

The moose local populations are not abundant, or animals occur occasionally, and their density does not reach the minimum permissible level. The control of moose is non-purposeful and insufficient on both of study territories. The red deer population is rather stable on areas of hunting clubs while hardly reaches the minimum density level. On the commercial hunting area, the population density 2-3 times exceeds the permissible density level. Red deer population should be used more intensively. Wild boar is used intensively on the areas of hunter clubs, and animal density is close to the permissible level. Unfortunately, on the areas of commercial hunting, wild boar is used passively that is why their density exceeds permissible level even four times.

The main harvested species are red deer and wild boar in both hunting grounds. Their numerous populations stay close to permissible density level. However, gamekeepers keep the larger animal numbers on the areas of commercial hunting. As the main aim is the trophy hunting, the stags and boars are most used when compared to females and young. Therefore, on the areas of commercial hunting, use of wild boar and red deer is unreasonable and their density exceeds permissible level several times.

Published: December 2020

The basis of communication, strategies of network interactions is a model of a system of information interactions and an installation on the adaptation of ethnos in a new space. National and cultural ideals of the ethnic group are usually realized in regional policies of inter-ethnic relations, ethnic reflection. Social networks are gradually becoming the main "regulator" of such interactions. The purpose of the work is to systematically analyze these trends, causal relationships and interethnic interactions in social networks. To do this, the work uses the methods of System Social Mining. The analysis allows us to conclude that in Russia “remote nationalism” is possible, associated with the political activities of the diasporas, their activity on social networks.

Chinese Fans’ Patriotism Creating Quandary in the Digital Media Era
Authors: Zheng Shiyu
Published: December 2020

China is considered to be a nation with the largest number of netizens and online fandom throughout the world. The power of netizens cannot be overlooked, particularly with regard to the digital mobilization of nationalism. In a recent event regarding a geographic map controversy spawned by the TV series of “Go Go Squid!” many netizens became fan patriots and activists for territorial integrity. This TV series caused tremendous resistance due to its showing an incomplete Map of China in one of its episodes on 31st July 2019. This research deploys three research methods of netnography (digital scraping of fan expression), a qualitative interview and commentary analysis to examine fans’ engagement upon this sensitive issue in China. The fans of the series and its main character naturally divided into different groups to show their opposing standpoints. With the help of Chinese featured cyberspace, Chinese netizens were hierarchically grouped as either loyal fans of the series, general/ordinary fans of the actress, or fan patriots and fan activists of the nation. Ambivalent attitudes from state media intensified the debates to call for a much more robust mechanism to guide cyber fandom.
Imbricaciones entre el Homo Sentimentalis, el trabajo enajenado y la naturaleza. Una mirada reflexiva de las relaciones de producción capitalistas / Imbrications between Homo Sentimentalis, alienated work and nature. A reflective look at capitalist relations of production
Authors: Gómez Calderón Diana
Published: December 2020

La modernidad capitalista ha significado para el mundo la ruptura metabólica entre el ser humano y la naturaleza, llevando así a cabo un proyecto económico devastador para el ambiente, los pueblos originarios y movimientos en tensiones con la acumulación de capital. Bajo esta problemática, se realiza un análisis bibliográfico sobre las relaciones entre el ser humano y la naturaleza, orientado a la ampliación del concepto de la ruptura metabólica al despojo de las emociones y significados sobre la naturaleza. Se explicita una categoría de ser humano y natura parte de un todo metabólico, pero que en la ciencia y en la sociedad se han contemplado como disociados. De esta forma, se presenta que en diferentes etapas del sistema social la modernidad capitalista rompe esta relación para convertir a la naturaleza en un objeto funcional para la acumulación de capitales.

Cuba, los intelectuales y la nueva izquierda
Authors: Dip Nicolás
Published: December 2020

Rafael Rojas es un filósofo e historiador cubano con una extensa trayectoria en México. Por muchos años trabajó en la División de Historia del Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económica (CIDE) y en la actualidad integra la planta académica del Colegio de México, donde dirige la revista Historia Mexicana. Es autor de numerosos libros, trabajos académicos y notas periodísticas que discuten la actualidad de Cuba desde diversas aristas de su historia política, cultural e intelectual. Rojas proviene de una familia con protagonismo en la política oficial cubana, pero su trayectoria tomó un rumbo diferente. En los años ochenta formó parte de los movimientos culturales juveniles que acompañaron críticamente al proyecto socialista de la isla y en los noventa integró la diáspora de artistas, escritores, académicos, cineastas y teatreros que exigía un proceso de reformas políticas y culturales como el que tenía lugar en el bloque soviético tras la caída del Muro de Berlín. Esta disidencia y migración, muy distinta al anticomunismo y anticastrismo radicado en Miami, se desperdigó por diversas capitales del mundo, como New York, Madrid, Barcelona y Ciudad de México. 

En esta entrevista, indagamos con Rojas en su trayectoria político intelectual para entender las discusiones más relevantes que aborda en su extensa obra. Además, examinamos dos temáticas centrales de sus investigaciones actuales que hacen al campo de la historia reciente latinoamericana: la relación entre política e intelectuales y los desafíos que suscitan los usos analíticos de la categoría nueva izquierda.
¿Cómo sacudir la rutina de los saberes normalizados? La potencia de la crítica literaria y sus cruces disciplinares
Authors: Tennina Lucía
Published: December 2020

Este artículo es una respuesta (a pedido) al artículo “Discusión sobre sociología de la literatura”, de Hernán Maltz, que pretende dar cuenta de la importancia de los análisis de la crítica literaria frente al campo de lo social sin necesidad de forzar su pertenencia disciplinar al campo de la sociología de la literatura. El análisis señala tres características de la crítica vinculadas a lo social que exceden el análisis sociológico. La primera, tiene que ver con la importancia de un elemento característico del ejercicio de la crítica ligado al nivel de la palabra en un sentido insinuante y no comunicativo. Por otro lado, la necesidad reafirmar el valor de ciertas investigaciones dentro del terreno de los estudios literarios en función de ampliar las fronteras de lo literario, dado que su desplazamiento al terreno de la sociología de la literatura termina reafirmando la suposición de que ciertos objetos literarios son excepciones antropológicas más que productos estéticamente estudiables. Finalmente, el estudio de lo social desde el enfoque de la crítica literaria puede aportar también una perspectiva performática de análisis que la disciplina sociológica no podría llevarla a cabo.
The determinants of the vat potential in Benin: an econometric analysis
Authors: Obinti Tidjani Ousmaïla Awe
Published: December 2020

This paper aimed to analyse the determinants of VAT potential in Benin over the period 1991 to 2017. The results of the estimation, conducted using Engle Granger’s cointegration model, showed that the latter is, on the whole, lower than the actual level of VAT collection over the period of analysis. This means that the VAT potential is relatively well developed, insofar as the tax capacity of the Beninese economy remains insufficient to mobilise more VAT revenue. However, this observation must be put into perspective as the capacity to mobilise VAT lost momentum from 2013 after a remarkable performance for over 23 years. This result calls for an improvement in tax reforms implemented in order to optimise the capacity of the tax administration in VAT mobilisation. Furthermore, the estimate showed that structural factors such as the degree of openness of the economy and the real gross domestic product per capita have had a positive and significant impact on VAT revenue mobilisation.
Taxable capacity and effort of value-added tax in Kenya
Authors: Muguchu Jane , Wawire Nelson H , Wambugu Anthony
Published: December 2020

Domestic tax revenue mobilisation has received great focus among developing countries in order to achieve the development objectives with less reliance on foreign aid. The effort to mobilise revenue in developing countries has been undermined by some challenges such as high levels of non-compliance, low taxable capacity and effort averaging 10 to 20 per cent compared to Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, which collect 30 to 40 per cent of their gross domestic product (GDP). To achieve Kenya’s Vision 2030 development objectives, the tax administration is expected to collect over 20.7 per cent of GDP and ensure revenue growth of 10 per cent per annum (Republic of Kenya, 2007). This called for establishing how far the country is from reaching its maximum tax potential and the effect of various factors that determine the taxable capacity of the country. Emphasis was placed on value-added tax (VAT) due to its high revenueraising potential. Using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimation technique and maximum likelihood for stochastic frontier approach, the study estimated the taxable capacity and effort of value-added tax (VAT). The results indicated that capital investment, manufacturing and private credit as a per cent of GDP impacted positively on taxable capacity while inflation, exports and agriculture negatively affected taxable capacity. The tax effort estimation results indicated that the average tax effort between 2011 and 2015 was 0.5, thus classifying the country under low collection, high effort category. Therefore, broadening the tax base through increased investments, manufacturing and improving on the efficiency of tax administration is fundamental in enhancing revenue mobilisation.
Mitigating the cost impact of ICT system failures in tax agencies: lessons from Uganda
Authors: Michael Masembe
Published: December 2020

Tax administrations that have adopted information and communication technology (ICT) face the challenge of system failures. Exhaustive literature exists on the causes and nature of such downtime or failures. This study investigated the cost of downtime in a tax administration, taking the case of the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) as a case study, and reviewing and analysing system performance reports and interviews with staff on downtime. The study found that while automation enabled tax compliance, it was vulnerable to system downtime, which affected process efficiencies, reduced revenue yield, lowered staff productivity and raised ICT maintenance costs. Existing systems must therefore be continuously monitored with clear system performance levels in light of any future ICT hiccups. The study concluded by recommending alternative manual processes when ICT processes suffer downtime while prioritising compliance support systems uptime ( for example, payment systems) to other systems during downtime. Overall, the tax administrations must have a business continuity strategy with tested downtime safeguards.

FRAMEWORK TO ASSIST IN SELECTING HUMAN CENTRED DESIGN TOOLS AND METHODS
Authors: Harb Ammer
Published: December 2020

Human Centred Design is a significant approach in design. It increases the value of design as well as helping businesses to overcome the challenges of not meeting user needs. However, the abundance of Human Centred Design tools and the difficulty to discriminate between them have created the urge to develop selection framework for these tools in regard to the design process. In this paper, I present a framework to assist in selecting Human Centred Design tools. I highlight the significance of the Human Centred Design approach. I also explain the theoretical background behind creating the framework. Then I describe the participatory design workshop method I used to support and validate the results of the theoretical background in order to further develop the selection framework. This framework can be adopted in the design field in order to facilitate the process and to support practitioners’ decisions to select suitable tools.

Published: December 2020

Apresentamos a elaboração e o desenvolvimento de uma atividade experimental demonstrativa (de baixo custo) denominada caixa de luz negra ou caixa preta. Ela foi utilizada, no contexto do PIBID, para trabalhar a temática Higiene e Saúde com alunos do 5º ano do ensino fundamental. Os materiais utilizados foram a caixa preta com luz negra (radiação ultravioleta), tinta fluorescente (carga de caneta marca texto amarela) e borrifador. O fenômeno envolvido é denominado fluorescência, no qual certos compostos – como os pigmentos que compõem a tinta da caneta marca texto – após a absorção da energia da luz incidente, emitem luz, o que faz com que brilhem.  O experimento consistiu em molhar as mãos dos alunos com tinta fluorescente e expô-las à luz negra, conduzindo-os a observar pontos de concentração de tinta (com mais brilho), identificando, assim, a sujeira. Nessa fase da escolarização a manipulação de materiais concretos e as atividades de caráter prático contribuem para melhor compreensão dos conteúdos. A atividade realizada proporcionou a integração entre a prática e os conteúdos teóricos aprendidos anteriormente. Além disso, contribuiu para que os alunos percebessem a necessidade de mudanças nos seus hábitos de higiene.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Superficial fungal infections, which are considered as the most common risk factor for mucocutaneous infections, are still an important consideration of human health. Tinea pedis and onychomycosis are two common types of superficial fungal infections. Increased recurrence of these infections in certain subjects led us speculate the common factors that might contribute to our observations. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between blood types and two types of fungal infections tinea pedis and onychomycosis.

Material and Method: In our study, we questioned blood types of 171 tinea pedis and onychomycosis patients, who applied to our clinic between October 2015 and December 2016. Diagnoses were confirmed using mycotic examination and fungal cultures. We measured patients’ hemogram, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea and creatinine levels to determine their treatments. Patients were monitored during their treatments.

Results: We analyzed our results to determine the effectiveness of treatments, recurrence, and the relationship between our result and patients’ blood types. We could not find any significant relation between blood types and gender, educational status, residence addresses of patients, infected region, duration of fungal infection (p>0.05). Then we could not find also a significant relation between blood types of the patients and infection status of the family members that patients lived together with (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Our study shows that AB0 blood types are not significantly correlated with neither tinea pedis nor onychomycosis, which are dermatophytes, causing superficial fungal infections.

High speed bulk data transfer is an important part of many data-intensive scientific applications. TCP fails for the transfer of large amounts of data over long distance across high-speed dedicated network links. Due to system hardware is incapable of saturating the bandwidths supported by the network and rise buffer overflow and packet-loss in the system. To overcome this there is a necessity to build a Performance Adaptive-UDP (PA-UDP) protocol for dynamically maximizing the implementation under different systems. A mathematical model and algorithms are used for effective buffer and CPU management. Performance Adaptive-UDP is a supreme protocol than other protocols by maintaining memory processing, packetloss processing and CPU utilization. Based on this protocol bulk data transfer is processed with high speed over the dedicated network links.
QoS Routing in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks using Agents

Published: December 2020

Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANETs) routing for
multimedia traffic is a challenging task due to dynamic topology of such networks. Fuzzy Logic (FL) were used for QoS prediction from current uncertain QoS constraints in the network for particular applications, from these uncertain constraints there is an error at the QoS prediction. To overcome this error, we proposed an intelligent system called
”Neuro-Fuzzy” (NF) system. Our proposed scheme optimizes the uncertain weights before QoS prediction using Error Back Propagation (EBP) algorithm, this optimization is done till to get acceptable error limit. From these optimized weights we can predict more accurately and hence, we can provide the well quality of service to the user. And also to provide real-time communication in MANETs, we used software agents.

Bu çalışmanın amacı resimli çocuk kitaplarında çocuk haklarına yer verme düzeylerinin belirlenmesidir. Resimli çocuk kitaplarında çocuk haklarına yer verme düzeyi doküman incelemesi ile belirlenmiştir. Türkiye’de 2019 yılındaki kitap satış sitelerinde (Kitapyurdu, D&R, BKM Kitap) resimli çocuk kitaplarında en çok tercih edilen yayınevlerinin ( Can Çocuk, Yapı Kredi, İş Bankası, Redhose Kidz, 1001 Çiçek, Hep Kitap, Beta Kids) her birinde en çok satan ilk 5 ile 15 kitabı seçilerek amaçlı örnekleme yolu ile belirlenmiş toplamda 64 resimli çocuk kitabı belirlenmiştir. Kitaplar betimsel analizi ile incelenmiştir. Ana tema çocuk hakları olarak, alt temalar ise yaşama, gelişime, korunma ve katılım hakları olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu temalar Karaman Kepenekci ve Aslan’ın (2011) yaptıkları araştırmada belirledikleri çerçeve göz önünde bulundurularak düzenlenmiştir. Bu araştırmada incelenen 64 kitapta toplam 1063 hak cümlesi tespit edilmiştir. Bu cümlelerden 700 tanesi katılım, 182 tanesi yaşama, 142 tanesi gelişim ve 39 tanesi korunma cümlesidir. Dolayısıyla resimli çocuk kitaplarında çocukların katılım ve yaşamsal hakları ile ilgili ifadelere daha fazla yer verdikleri; gelişimsel ve korunma haklarına ile ilgili ifadelere ise daha az yer verdikleri saptanmıştır. Bu bulgudan çocukların Sözleşme ile ilgili olarak daha fazla bilgilendirilmeleri ve eğitilmeleri için kitaplarda daha fazla hak ifadelerine yer verilmesi gerektiği söylenebilir.

This research aims to analyze the relationship between religion and country in the perspective of Islamic law. Among the scholars who are referenced in religious and state relations is al-Ghazali. His thoughts on the concept of religion and country are interesting to research. This research uses descriptive-qualitative methods in the form of library research. The results showed that between religion and state has a connection, so al-Ghazali analogizes religion and the king as 'two twins', of which religion is a foundation, while the king is the guardian. Something without a foundation will easily collapse and a foundation without guards will disappear. The existence of the king is a necessity for the order of the world, the order of the world is a necessity for religious order, and religious order is a necessity for the attainment of the welfare of the hereafter. Unequivocally, al-Ghazali said that a country that ignores morals (morals, ethics) will gradually suffer destruction or destruction. To that, al-Ghazali offers five ideal and moral conceptions of the state. The five conceptions are interdependence towards happiness, the fusion of science with religion and morals, moral-politics, the head of state who is sincere, and moral in international relations and deeds.
