Published: February 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has been around for 3 years, and the virus is still spreading until now and using mask is an alternative for people to not get infected, but some people tend to let go of the mask for inconvenience reasons, especially under low light conditions which is difficult for humans to identify. Thus, this paper proposed and implemented a face mask detection model which can accurately detect a person that using a mask or not in such a condition as low light by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture with OpenCV, TensorFlow and Keras. To achieve this, the first step is to transform the data by using Python Imaging Library (PIL) to create a low light image, then we process the data by using Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization and with Gamma Correction. The second step is to augment the data by using TensorFlow ImageDataGenerator and define the CNN model. The final step is to create the face mask prediction by using Haar Cascade Algorithm to detect the face mask. The results of this research shows that CNN model can be trained with a recreational low light images to detect face mask under low light conditions. The result of the model produced an accuracy of 98%.

Published: February 2023

Some people are very easy to open the door lock with just a small wire. This causes the house to be vulnerable to burglary and theft. In previous studies, there were still shortcomings such as the accuracy of facial recognition was not good, the time for the facial recognition process was very long and no action was taken if the camera caught an unknown person. This raises the need for solutions related to security systems that can monitor homes when something suspicious happens so that it can be prevented immediately. This study aims to create a home door security system using ESP32-CAM as face recognition. This face recognition can unlock the door automatically and if someone is caught on camera who is not known, the system will send a notification to the owner to follow up on this. The results of the face detection test using the Haar Cascade Classifier method that can distinguish a known face and an unknown face. The results of facial accuracy at a distance of 30 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm with a light intensity of 130 lux obtained an average accuracy of 96.6%. The result of the average time required from the face sampling process until the face is recognized by the system is 21,50 seconds.

What enabled the production of mathematical knowledge in complex analysis?
Authors: Piña-Aguirre José Gerardo , Farfán Márquez Rosa María
Published: February 2023

With the objective of identifying intrinsic forms of mathematical production in complex analysis (CA), this study presents an analysis of the mathematical activity of five original works that contributed to the development of Cauchy’s integral theorem. The analysis of the mathematical activity was carried out through the identification of the types of expressions used and the way they were used by the historical subjects when communicating their results, to subsequently identify transversal elements of knowledge production. The analysis was refined by the notion of confrontation, which depicts the development of mathematical knowledge through the idea of building knowledge against previous knowledge. As a result of the study we established epistemological hypothesis, which are conceived as conjectures that reveal ways in which mathematical knowledge was generated in CA.

A survey on techniques, methods and security approaches in big data healthcare
Authors: David Odera
Published: February 2023

A huge percentage of people especially in developed countries spend a good chunk of their wealth in managing their health conditions. In order to adequately administer healthcare, governments and various organizations have embraced advanced technology for automating the health industry. In recent past, electronic health records have largely been managed by Enterprise Resource Planning and legacy systems. Big data framework steadily emerge as the underlying technology in healthcare, which offers solutions that limits capacity of others systems in terms of storage and reporting. Automation through cloud services supported by storage of structured and unstructured health data in heterogeneous environment has improved service delivery, efficiency, medication, diagnosis, reporting and storage in healthcare. The argument support the idea that big data healthcare still face information security concern, for instance patient image sharing, authentication of patient, botnet, correlation attacks, man-in-the-middle, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), blockchain payment gateway, time complexities of algorithms, despite numerous studies conducted by scholars in security management for big data in smart healthcare. Some security technique include digital image encryption, steganography, biometrics, rule-based policy, prescriptive analysis, blockchain contact tracing, cloud security, MapReduce, machine-learning algorithms, anonymizations among others. However, most of these security solutions and analysis performed on structured and semi-structured data as opposed to unstructured data. This may affect the output of medical reporting of patients’ condition particularly on wearable devices and other examinations such as computerized tomography (CT) Scans among others. A major concern is how to identify inherent security vulnerabilities in big healthcare, which generate images for transmission and storage. Therefore, this paper conducted a comparative survey of solutions that specifically safeguards structured and unstructured data using systems that run on big data frameworks. The literature highlights several security advancements in cryptography, machine learning, anonymization and protocols. Most of these security frameworks lacks implementation evidence. A number of studies did not provide comprehensive performance metrics (accuracy, error, recall, precision) of the models besides using a single algorithm without validated justification. Therefore, a critique on the contribution, performance and areas of improvements discussed and summarized in the paper.

Published: February 2023

Background: The foreign body impaction (FBI) is an emergent medical condition caused by any object, material, or food trapped in the upper gastrointestinal tract, most commonly caused by swallowing, iatrogenic, or penetrating trauma. The cases reported in the literature are acute, commonly presenting within few days after the accident. As far as we are concerned, such a late presentation of an esophageal FBI has not been reported to date. Case Presentation: In this case report, we present a 67-year old male patient who was referred with severe dysphagia, recurrent fistula with sepsis, weight loss, malnutrition, and pulmonary aspiration. The history revealed a car accident 40 years ago with a penetrating wound in the neck. Rigid esophagoscopy was not possible, and the tip of car gear (3×4 cm) could be successfully removed by open surgical procedure with neck exploration. Conclusions: This case refers to the necessity of paying greater attention to the possible foreign bodies, which can remain from any accident, in order to prevent its complications caused by late diagnosis.

An improved model for the use of facial stimulation in hybrid SSVEP+P300 brain-computer interfaces
Authors: Deepak D. Kapgate  , Krishna Prasad K
Published: February 2023

Purpose: This research proposes a hybrid BCI that integrates Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) and Event Related Potentials (P300) simultaneously. We included human facial structure into a visual stimulus to elicit stronger cortical responses in a hybrid SSVEP+P300 BCI. We also discussed the possibilities of triggering one potential with facial stimuli and another with non-facial stimuli. Methods: To elicit SSVEP and P300 responses, non-face and neutral-face stimulus paradigms are presented. We also tested the neutral-face and flicker paradigm, in which non-face stimuli would elicit SSVEP and neutral-face stimuli would elicit P300. Results: The results showed that the latter paradigm evoked more robust cortical potentials, leading to enhanced system accuracy and ITR. The neutral-face and flicker paradigm has an average accuracy of 91.62%, with an average system communication rate of 22.04 bits per second. Conclusions: The author talked about visual stimulus characteristics that might change the way that multiple brain potentials are activated simultaneously and how that affects the individual potentials.

The adoption of electronic healthcare in hospital environment can potentially reduce costs and improve the quality of life of the patients. However, numerous security and privacy issues arise when sensitive patient data is shared among multiple devices and users. Owing to its vulnerable nature, electronic health records seem to be more attractive to attackers compared to other forms of records such as financial transactions. Consequently, the patient data collected at the sensors, transmitted across communication channels and residing in hospital servers is susceptible to various threats. The goal of this paper was to carry out a survey of the electronic healthcare environment and attempt to understand the various weaknesses that can be exploited. This is followed by some descriptions of the various preventive mechanisms as well as the noted gaps. Therefore, numerous recommendations are given that are deemed fit for enhanced security and privacy posture in electronic healthcare domain.

Results for novel amino silicone physical properties to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) were discussed in this article, that also investigated their potential economic benefits versus traditional amine solvents, such as monoethanolamine (MEA). A range of differing amino silicone solvents were tested for density, viscosity, vapor pressure, and heat value. The novel amino silicone solvents showed better results than conventional solvents for CO2 removal, demonstrating less density, lower vapor pressure, and reduced heat capacity. These advantages were also translated into economic benefits with respect to capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operation expenditure (OPEX).
A comparative study of several classification metrics and their performances on data
Authors: Jude Chukwura Obi
Published: February 2023

Six classification metrics namely, Accuracy, Precision, Recall (Sensitivity), Specificity, F1-Score and Area Under the Curve have been studied in this work. A classification model based on the Support Vector Machine, was used to obtain a confusion matrix, which provided the needed information for calculating the different classification metrics. Twenty different datasets were used to assess the performances of the classification metrics. Accuracy and Area Under the Curve are the two metrics that consistently gave a classification result given each dataset used in the study. Although accuracy appears to be marginally better that AUC, it was discovered that in some cases where sensitivity is zero, accuracy yielded a high correct classification result. This goes further to implying that prior to choosing accuracy as a preferred metric for classification, investigation should be carried out to find out what sensitivity and specificity are. Where there are high values for sensitivity and specificity, the study shows that a choice of accuracy as a preferred classification metric leads to a high percentage of correct classification result.

Bridging the gap of Jose Magsaysay elementary school learners in numeracy: Makati localized numeracy assessment tool for stage 1 (Grades 1-3)
Authors: Shyla Macanig Tallud  , Dennis G. Caballes
Published: February 2023

Numeracy is an essential skill needed in everyday life. The study aimed to assess the numeracy of Jose Magsaysay Elementary School learners using the Makati Localized Assessment Tool for Stage 1 (Grades 1-3). Specifically, the study determined the numeracy gaps encountered by the learners, the numeracy levels of the learners, and how the school can address the needs of the learners in numeracy. Utilizing a quantitative research design, the results of an eight-week intervention utilizing the Makati Localized Numeracy Assessment Tool indicated no statistically significant differences between pre-and post-tests for students in Grade 2 and Grade 3, although a relatively significant difference was seen for students in Grade 1. Furthermore, paired correlations showed no significant association between pre-and post-test results across all grade levels, suggesting the intervention for students' numeracy abilities did not succeed in closing numeracy gaps Findings also indicate that the majority of Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 students need major support for all eight numeracy skills examined and that the school must address the weakness of students in numeracy skills through better interventions such as exposing students to more drills and exercises, differentiated instruction, and using better instructional materials together with parent-student conferences for numeracy and one-on-one tutoring. It is also recommended that the school conduct new intervention strategies to determine what would assist in addressing the learners' numeracy gaps. In addition, as the intervention in the current research lasted just eight weeks, the school may potentially explore an extended numeracy intervention period that lasts longer than eight weeks for future interventions. Furthermore, future researchers might investigate interventions that incorporate parental participation, particularly for kids in Grades 1, 2, and 3, and examine the different factors that influence the eight dimensions of numeracy skills by the student to provide better numeracy gaps interventions for students.

O presente artigo analisa as memórias coletiva e individual constituem a cidade de Javé, do longa-metragem Os narradores de Javé (2003), dirigido por Eliane Caffé. No filme, as narrativas orais dos personagens se entrelaçam formando uma colcha de retalhos com visões dissociadas sobre a construção do vale. Em relação ao conceito de memória, entende-se que ela é constituída de fragmentos e tem o esquecimento como uma condicional, assim, várias vozes podem compor diferentes tramas sobre um acontecimento. O diálogo entre o presente e o passado são uma constante na trama e trazem uma carga que contribui para a constituição de cada morador. Perceber a simbologia das recordações e como elas são relembradas pelos moradores na reconstituição do passado pelas vias orais com a pretensão da escrita de um livro científico. As narrativas da constituição da cidade possuem um valor incondicional para os moradores, assim, perceber como a adaptação midiática para as vias escritas seria realizada por Antônio Biá é fundamental para compreender as nuances de cada mídia e como a adaptação é tratada no longa. Para tal estudo, se realizará uma pesquisa bibliográfica que visa a análise das cenas do filme com os conceitos de adaptação midiática, memória e lugares de memória.

Este artigo investiga a hipótese de que foi a partir do lançamento da segunda edição do livro Os Últimos Dias de Paupéria, de Torquato Neto, em 1982, que a imagem deste autor se tornou indissociável do vampiro que interpretou no filme Nosferato no Brasil, de Ivan Cardoso. Levando-se em consideração o momento da história do país na qual esta edição foi lançada, ou seja, o período de abertura da ditadura civil-militar, realiza-se uma análise da forma como o filme é representado e referenciado neste livro.
A transcriação de vidas invisíveis: o livro e o filme da história de Eurídice Gusmão
Authors: Sena Melly Fatima Goes
Published: February 2023

A adaptação é um ato de transcriação, ou seja, uma ação de criação e recriação estética essencialmente, como relata o teórico Haroldo de Campos. Considerando esse aspecto, o presente trabalho objetiva analisar a representação feminina por meio da comparação entre a obra literária A vida invisível de Eurídice Gusmão escrita por Martha Batalha e sua transcriação fílmica A vida invisível, dirigido por Karin Ainouz, especificamente ponderar sobre a representação feminina a partir da protagonista Eurídice Gusmão

In the 2015-2035 national industrial development master plan, it is stated that micro and small industries are one of the contributors to the national economy. This means that the even distribution of industrial and regional development according to the potential of natural resources in each region is the main target. Merauke regency has the second largest number of micro and small industries in Papua Province. Business development in this industry was found to be difficult. Raw materials are one of the supporting factors in developing the micro and small industries business. The availability of sufficient and sustainable raw materials will facilitate production. The number of available business units also affects the absorption of labor. Increased employment can reduce unemployment and poverty rates. Information on the potential of raw materials and business units can be used as the basis for consideration of decisions, policies and efforts to increase the distribution of development and industrial estates according to the potential of natural resources. Biplot analysis was used in this study to map the potential raw materials for each district. This analysis describes summary table data in a two-dimensional graph, which is based on singular value decomposition. The results show that the first is the availability of raw materials for food crops which is high in the district of Jagebob, Kurik, Muting, Semangga and Ulilin. Animha and Naunkenjerai districts have high availability of raw materials for fishery commodities. The highest raw material for agricultural commodities is found in the Merauke district. Second is the number of business units for livestock and plant commodities, which is quite high in the Merauke district. The number of business unit for plantation commodities and services is quite high in the Kurik district. The number of service business unit is mostly found in Malind district. The resulting feasibility measure is 0.804 raw materials and 0.765 business units.

The development of the use of solar energy as a new renewable energy is being encouraged in various forms of its use, and one of them is the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. The Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) module is a power generation system that utilizes temperature differences to produce electric power. The temperature difference can be obtained from solar radiation the metal will  convert into heat energy, which will pass through the TEG and be discharged into the environment. The amount of solar radiation converted into heat depends on the area of ​​the converter. This research aim is to increase the surface area of ​​the solar converter to increase the temperature used in the TEG system to generate electric power. The areas used for capturing solar radiation are 0.06 m2, 0.12 m2 and 0.16 m2 which are made of black aluminum plates in a closed system. At the bottom of the aluminum are installed 7 thermoelectric modules connected to a water reservoir as a coolant. The results of the study showed that the highest temperatures that could be achieved were respectively 39.1, 52.5 and 61oC, and the temperature differences that could be achieved were respectively 9.1; 20.0 and    28 oC. A temperature difference of 7.1 oC produces an electric power of 64.2 mW, and a temperature difference of 28 oC produces an electric power of 282.8 mW.

Generalized law of contact gliding friction of solids
Authors: Breki Alexander
Published: February 2023

A mathematical model describing the law of contact gliding friction, taking into account changes in the sliding contact states, is proposed for consideration. The generalization of classical linear models of contact friction is carried out by putting in more additive components allowing for new state transitions of frictional interaction.

The developed mathematical model makes it possible to give analytic description of the schematic diagram of classical slip coefficient change depending on the load of B.I. Kostetsky and allows adding to
