Published: November 2023

This research aims to obtain an overview of the implementation of the UKS program. The subjects in this research were 61 junior high schools in Sumbawa Regency. Meanwhile, data collection techniques include observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document study. For the evaluation model, the CIPP model is used. And data analysis is carried out interactively. The results of the evaluation based on the context component of the 61 schools evaluated, 46 stated that they were still experiencing difficulties in increasing prevention and resilience to the bad effects of narcotics, cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, and other dangerous drugs; then for the input component, there were still 37 schools that stated that UKS supervisors had not received training, while 19 schools stated that facilities were needed to be improved, and for the budget, 61 schools had a budget allocation; in the process component, at the planning and implementation stage all schools have program implementation plans, but at the monitoring and assessment stage this is not optimal; Meanwhile, for the Product component, no one has evaluated the impact of the UKS Program. It can be concluded that the implementation of UKS in 61 schools does not fully refer to the 2014 UKS implementation guidelines

Based on the study's findings, a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.001 0.05 was found, leading to the conclusion that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, indicating that the PBL learning model's integration with ICT had a significant impact on elementary school students' mental models.
Insects and Mites Affecting Jasmine in the Madras State
Authors:   Agricultural College and Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, S KANAKARAJ DAVID
Published: November 2023

Seven insects were recorded by Ramakrishna Ayyar (1927, 1940) as affecting the jasmine plant in the Madras State. The distribution, however, given for two of these fall outside the present limits of the State. There has been no further work to ovaluate the injury to the crop by insects or mites. Observations made during the last one year showed that there are several insects and mites which are capable of causing severe injury to the crop. Two of the insects, as far as known, are being recorded on this plant for the first time. In this paper the biological characteristics and the economic status of the insects and mites which occur on the crop are given.
Replications in Field Experiments
Authors:   Agricultural College and Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, T.A GOVINDA IYER
Published: November 2023

Research workers who have to deal with field trials are often faced with the problem of deciding upon the number of replications that should be adopted for a particular set of treatments. In most cases the number of replications is decided arbitrarily and this leads to a result where even large differences between treatment means fail to attain statistical significane. Any method by which the workers will be enabled to determine the number of replications necessary to render a predetermined difference, of say 10% between the treatments, to be statistically significant, would be very useful. An attempt is made in this paper to evolve such a method, utilising the data that were available from the Paddy Breeding Station, Coimbatore.

Evaluation of students is part of an eaucational, program and it is inseparable from the other duties of an instructor in the teaching of any course. Correct. assessment of student's merit needs great skill on the part of the teacher, if he wishes to be successful in his profession. There exists, at present, a system of evaluation which, though well established over a period of time, by no means can be considered perfect.
Some adaptations in the habits of the Red Hairy caterpillar-Amsacta Albistriga W
Authors:   Crop and Plant Protection Officer (Entomology), K.R NAGARAJAN , N RAMACHANDRAN ,   Plant Protection Assitant (Entomology), Coimbatore
Published: November 2023

The red hairy caterpillar has been recorded as a very serious past of the dry crops in most of the rainfed tracts of the Madras State, for the past five decades. It occurs freely on the red sandy loam areas. Despite its polyphagous habits, the insect shows a marked partiality for groundnut on which the destruction wrought is often severe. Commencing from the earlier rains, a majority of the adult moths emerge during the early stages of the crop and the emergences may be spread over about half a dozen batches. The damage is at its worst when the caterpillars are two to three weeks old. In some cases, there is a second brood, presumably from the short cycle larvae, the adults emerging two or three months later, during the North-east monsoon rains. The essential prerequisite for the mass emergences is the receipt of copious showers, which are necessarily followed by the bountiful supply of food material for the progeny.
Cultivation of Unirrigated Cambodia Cotton in Madras State
Authors:   Department of Agriculture Madras, R.S ANNAPΡΑΝ
Published: November 2023

Out of the total area of about 5,29,900 acres under Madras Americans in the state during 1956-57, the rainfed Cambodia accounted for 2,51,500 acres. Cambodia cotton is cultivated under rainfed conditions mostly in the districts of Coimbatore, Salem, Tiruchirappalli and Madurai where early North East monsoon rains are received. The average yield of the Unirrigated Cambodia raised in the tract is about 40-80 lb. of lint per acre. The success of the rainfed Cambodia crop is mainly dependent on the distribution of rainfall during crop growth and other seasonal conditions. Apart from the weather conditions, which are of course beyond our control, there are ways of getting a good crop adopting suitable cultivation practices which are discussed below.

Published: November 2023

The Evolution of a short duration crop is of special interest in view of its great importance in the efficient use of land in the rotation of crops. Tenai is one of the principal millets maturing in 100 to 110 days and gives as much yield of grain as the grain crops of the same duration. It can be grown throughout the year as it is not a season bound crop and in almost all types of soils. Early maturing crops will be most desirable for the gardenlands of Coimbatore, Salem and Madurai and for the dry tracts of south and North Arcot, Ramanathapuram and Chingleput districts. To meet such a requirement, the work on the evolution of short duration, strain in Tenai was commenced at the Millet Breeding Station, Coimbatore.
Insects affecting Sea-Island Cotton in Malabar
Authors:   Assitant in Entomology,Agricultural College and Reserch Institute, Coimbatore  641 003, T.R SUBRAMANIAN
Published: November 2023

The Madras Agricultural Department has recently introduced a fine variety of cotton known as the Sea-Island cotton (Gossypium barbedence) in the West Coast of this state. This Variety of cotton is cultivated on a few Islands in West Indies and considered as the world's finest and costliest cotton. It is able to flourish well in the West Coast under the climatic and soil conditions obtaining in that tract. It is being successfully raised both as a pure and intersown crop in the coconut gardens in Malabar. Increased efforts are being made by the Departmental authorities to expand the area of culti- vation of this valuable cotton which bids fair to give good return to the cultivator. The author has been making some interesting observations ever since the introduction of this cotton in Malabar with regard to the occurrence of insect pests in the newly introduced variety and has made an attempt to give a list of insects noted by him on this cotton in the following pages, with very brief notes on the nature of damage caused to the plant by them and possible control measures that might be adopted in each case. In attempting to give the list it has been arranged in convenient groups according to the method of feeding of each insect.
Preliminary Studies on Storage of Coconut Oil
Authors:   Assitant Oilseed Specialist,Coimbatore, S.G AIYADURAI
Published: November 2023

Coconut oil is one of the important edible oils in India, chiefly on the West Coast and in Bengal. Besides the production in the country, India imports annually about 30,000 tons of coconut oil valued at over 4 crores of rupees. Coconut oil is obtained by crushing the dried kernal of the mature coconut known as Copra. Copra is generally prepared by drying the broken nuts (i. e., nuts cut into halves) in the sun and the oil is extracted by crushing the copra in the village Ghani' or in power driven expellers. The major, if not, almost the entire quantity of the copra of commerce is made and oil is extracted during the summer months of February to May as the weather in that period is bright (thus favourable for copra making) and the largest yield of nuts and outturn of copra and oil are obtained during these months. Practically no crushing of copra for oil is done during the rainy season. It, therefore, becomes necessary to store the coconut oil for pretty long periods and as it easily becomes rancid, a proper method of storage has to be found out. The conditions of storage vary widely. Apart from using numerous containers, substances like jaggery are added to the oil. Perkins (1919) has studied the rancidity of Philippine coconut oil and found out that the oil of low initial acidity remained sweet during two years exposure to air and light. He has further stated that the first stage in rancidity is hydrolysis, the rapidity of which varies with initial acidity and seems to be accelerated by the action of air, light and fat soluble enzymes. But no systematic study seems to have been made so far, on the deterioration of the quality of oil under various conditions. Preliminary studies were therefore conducted to study the deterio- ration of the oil, at the Oilseeds Laboratory at Coimbatore.
Studies on Drought Resistance in Rice
Authors:   Agricultural College and Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, K Sri RAJAGOPALAN
Published: November 2023

According to Maximov (1929) "drought resistance means the capacity of plants to endure drought and to recover readily after permanent wilting, with the minimum of damage to the plant itself and to the yield produced." He suggests that the most important step must be to select from plants capable of growing in drier regions, those which can readily endure and do not merely escape or evade severe drought. In his opinion it should be possible. when we have decided which plants are truly drought resistant, to attack with success the problem of determining the peculiarities of organisation that actually confer on plants the faculty of enduring drought.
Lime for Paddy in Coorg

Published: November 2023

Rice is one of the most acid tolerant crops. Yet Mitsui (2) mentions that for a long time Japanese farmers have been laying great emphasis on the application of lime to paddy fields. He found that addition of lime remarkably increased nitrogen mineralisation and that 1100 kg. per hectare of slaked lime corresponds to the application of as much as 350 kg. of soybean cake per hectare. Govindarajan and Narayanan (1) report on the beneficial effect of liming for paddy. It was therefore thought worthwhile to try application of lime on acid soils in Coorg. The environmental and soil conditions here have been described by Subramaniam (4). Simple experiments in cultivators' fields were laid out on the broad lines described by Panse and Sukhatme (3) to find the crop's response to lime.
Common Salt as Fertiliser
Authors:   Plant Physiologist,Coimbatore, T.R NARAYANAN
Published: November 2023

As the very name indicates common salt is quite a common substance which is both cheap and abundant. Its use as an item of man's daily dietary is well-known and widespread, but what is not so widely known is its use as a manure in agriculture. Salt is mentioned as a manure in the Bible, and by Roman poets like Virgil and Cato. English farmers of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries as well as German and Spanish farmers were also well aware of its use as manure, but still, at the present day it is difficult to find another fertiliser, the utility of which is so hotly disputed, as common salt. Even as early as 1805 salt was recognised as very useful manure, particularly for turnips, sugar beet and mangolds and also for whent in potash-deficient soils. Subsequently the use of salt fell nway, due mainly to the vigorous development of other fertilisers like super-phosphate, ammonium sulphate, potash salts, kainit, Chilean nitrate etc. It is worth noting that even then, plenty of sodium and chlorides were being added to the soil, though in different compounds such as Chilean nitrate (i. e. nitrate of soda): Kainit was mostly potassium chloride and many other low-grade potash salts that were used as fertilisers, contained large proportions of sodium chloride. During the First World War (1914-18) there was a revival of interest in using common salt as a substitute for potash, but due to erratic results it earned more discredit than credit in this period.

Published: November 2023

Amongst the major insect pests occuring on Rice crop in Hyderabad State, Hispa (Hispa armigera Ol.) occupies the most important place. It occurs on both the abi seasonal crop which is sown in the months of June-July and tabi crop which is sown in the months of January February. Apart from Hyderabad State, Hispa also occurs as a pest of rice crop in West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Bombay, Orissa, Madras and Andhra States in the Indian Union. Padwick (1948) in a review on plant protection and food crops in India mentions that it is present throughout the year in Assam and Bengal and that in 1946 it took a heavy toll of 20,000 acres of crop in Madhya Pradesh, causing an average loss of over 20% in yield. Outside India, the pest is found on Rice Crop in the Republic of China, Formosa, Indonesia and Pakistan. According to Chu (1938), hispa destroyed 3,000 acres of early rice in Pho-lo district in Kwangtung province in China in 1932. Recently, Shen and Kung (1954) have reported that serious out breaks of Rice hispa have occurred in the past few years in Taiwan island, infestation occuring on tens of thousands of hectares.

Adyar is an enkanting place. One main reason for this is undoubtedly to be found in the exuberant vegetation which consists of different kinds of assorted plants, partly indigenous and partly introduced, both combined into a beautiful mosaic by nature as well as by design in which may be seen the work of the Hidden Artist. The rich and varied flora consisting of over two hundred and fifty species excluding the potted ornamentals, and belonging to various genera and families is well worth study by a trained botanist. Herbs, shrubs and climbers: trees large and small, evergreen and deciduous; palms and bamboos; grasses and weeds and the humble denizens of the pond, meet the eye at different levels and form an effective scenery of considerable beauty.

It should not only reach the interested scientific colleagues of the investigator but also the 'ryot' for whom it is ultimately intented. Some suggestions as to how this may be achieved in a subject like Plant Pathology are offered below.

This is a very important subject, for the consideration of which the present time is very opportune. The Agricutultural College and Research Institute is celebrating its Golden Jubilee and the Agricultural Meteorology wing of the India Meteorological Department of the Government of India is celebrating in August, 1957 its Silver Jubilee. The All India Farmers' Forum had three conventions. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research conducted recently a seminar on Agricultural Education. So details are available in plenty for taking a final and useful decision on this very important subject of integrating agricultural research, education and propaganda, the adoption of which will certainly maintain steadily the high level of food production in India. The world population increases at the rate of 1,20,000 every day. So it is very essential that something tangible is achieved in this direction. In this paper some suggestions have been given with special reference to the role of the Meteorologists in Agriculture.

The very title of the symposium on the one hand the imperative need for the integration of Agricultural Research, education and propaganda, and implies on the other hand, that at present there is lack of co-ordination among the three aspects of agricultural improvement, to the extent desirable. It needs no mention that for the development of any branch of science, research of both fundamental and applied nature is vital. Research also cannot progress without raking into consideration, the work already done, and the knowledge gained by generations due to agelong experience and observations, however emperical they might be. This is so especially in the case of agriculture, which is not only both an art and science but also a pastime, on which rests the national economy of any country, and ours in particular. Agriculture is a vast subject comprising a veriety of sciences, each one having grown to formidable proportions, requiring special study for considerable periods of time. It is well known that a sound knowledge of Botany, Chemistry, Soil-Physics, Entomology, Mycology, Animal-Husbandry, Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Meteorology, Economics, etc., not to speak of other sub-branches like Soil-Science, Cyto-genetics. Dairying, Poulty-keeping, Bee-keeping etc., is essential to tackle the problems of agriculture in their true perspective.

Published: November 2023

Indonesian Migrant Workers (TKI) or now known as Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) contribute to the economic growth of Central Java Province through foreign exchange earnings, and increasing work productivity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial interaction patterns of IMW locally and globally. This research method uses a euclidean distance weight matrix approach to calculate the Local Moran Index and the Global Moran Index. The novelty of this research is to consider Indonesian workers or IMW with higher education.
The conclusion of this study is that the results of the Local Moran Index empirical research identify that there are similar or dissimilar patterns of spatial interaction (within in group) in Cilacap Regency, Brebes Regency, Kendal Regency. However, in 2021 Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) from Central Java identified a pattern of spatial interaction (within in group), both similar and dissimilar, in the positions of Cilacap Regency and Kendal Regency. Changes in the Local Moran's Index of Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) in 2010 and 2021 were allegedly due to the placement of the number of Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) to the destination country which was limited in 2021. Initially, Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) in 2010 were Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) its placements are in 27 countries, decreasing to 17 countries in 2021. The results of empirical research on the negative Global Moran's I coefficient on Indonesian workers (IMW) with higher education from 2010 to 2021 identify that the spatial interaction pattern of Indonesian workers (IMW) with higher education in Central Java Province is divergent or spreads from districts/cities to district/city.

Published: November 2023

Air pollution is one of several environmental problems faced by several countries in the world, including Indonesia. Air pollution caused many environmental problems such as global warming and climate change. Air pollution increased due to human activity and economic development. Economic activities such as industry, infrastructure development to community mobility can affect air quality in an area. The study aimed to analyze the impact of income per capita, transportation, and population on the air quality of six provinces in Java Island. This study obtained data from the National Statistic Central Bureau and the Ministry of Forestry websites from the year 2013-to 2019. This study was using a quantitative method through the regression model with panel data to achieve the research's goals. The result showed that the variable of income per capita has negative effects on air quality. The variable of income per capita is described by the economic activity of people in Java Island. The results of this study indicate that the economic activities of people in Java Island still have a negative impact on the environment, especially on the air quality. The opposite result was obtained from transportation and population variables that have a positive effect on air quality in the six provinces in Java Island from 2013 to 2019.

Authors: Islami Diniah , Kurniawan Mahrus Lutfi Adi
Published: November 2023

Since 1990 there have been reforms in both monetary policy and fiscal policy in Indonesia, which can affect the decomposition of foreign debt. The World Bank report in international debt statistics 2021 shows that Indonesia is one of the countries that have the most debt, which ranks 7th in the world and first in ASEAN with total foreign debt. This study uses time-series data from 1990 to 2021 using the VAR method to determine the response of foreign debt to macroeconomic fluctuations. Based on the results of the study shocks to the GDP variable will be responded to negatively by debt. The sensitivity of the debt response is shown to be positive when there are shocks to government spending and interest rates. The results of the variance decomposition show that government spending has the largest contribution to variability compared to other variables in the model. The implications of the research need to be careful in adding new debt amid uncertain macroeconomic conditions because it can burden the state budget

THE DISTRIBUTION OF HOME MORTGAGES BY COMMERCIAL BANKS, ISLAMIC BANKS, AND RURAL BANKS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Rahima Annisa
Published: November 2023

This research aimed to examine the distribution of home mortgages by various banks, i.e., commercial banks, Islamic banks, and rural banks during the 2-year Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This study used panel data as the analysis method and the variables consisted of Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) and interest rates. The regression results showed that RPPI had a positive but not significant effect on the distribution of home mortgages during the pandemic. From the regression results, it is found that IHPR has an insignificant effect on KPR distribution during the pandemic. That is, when property prices increase, it will not affect the distribution of mortgages provided by commercial banks, Islamic banks and rural banks. Loan interest rates also have no significant effect on mortgage distribution during the pandemic. This implies that when the loan interest rate increases, it does not affect the distribution of mortgages provided. However, the increase in mortgage distribution during the Covid-19 pandemic is due to government efforts through subsidized mortgage policies such as Loan to Value (easing credit limits), VAT exemption incentives and expanding these policies not only in banks but also to rural banks.

In managing village funds, accountability, transparency, and community participation are very important things to do. This study examines and analyzes the effect of accountability and transparency on village fund management in Pati District, with community participation as a moderation variable. This study used research with a quantitative approach. The type of data used in this study is quantitative data. The source of data in this study is primary data. Data collection techniques for this study use survey techniques carried out by distributing questionnaires directly to research respondents. This study used a questionnaire with a Likert Scale model. Structural equation modeling-partial least square (SEM-PLS) tests model hypotheses using SmartPLS. The samples obtained amounted to 300. The respondents in this study were village heads, village secretaries, and village treasurers in Pati Regency. Based on the results of the analysis and hypothesis tests, it proves that accountability and transparency positively affect the effectiveness of village fund management in Pati Regency. This research contributes to the government and community as a reference and evaluation of the government in village fund management. Thus, the budget can empower the community and become information material to optimize community expertise.
Mechanisms of Checks and Balances: Appropriations, Congressional Committees, and Interbranch Conflict

Since the birth of modern political science, the power of the purse has been recognized as among the most important institutional powers through which Congress constrains presidential ambitions. We argue that the organization of Congress into committees and subcommittees is a key mechanism by which the collective body enforces its institutional prerogatives over appropriations. We test the hypothesis that presidents are less successful in realizing their preferred budgetary outcomes as the relevant subcommittee is more ideologically distant from the president. Using comprehensive new data on presidential budget requests and congressional appropriations for the U.S. federal government from 1972 to 2021, we find strong support for our expectations. Our findings offer new evidence about how the composition of legislative committees affects policy outcomes and illustrate how the (sub)committee system provides a mechanism by which Congress overcomes its collective action problems to constrain the executive.

One promising account for autism is implicit mentalizing difficulties. However, this account and even the existence of implicit mentalizing have been challenged because the replication results are mixed. Those unsuccessful replications may be due to the task contexts not being sufficiently evaluative. Therefore, the current study developed a more evaluative paradigm by implementing a prompt question. This was assessed in 60 non-autistic adults and compared with a non-prompt version. Additionally, parents of autistic children are thought to show a genetic liability to autistic traits and cognition and often report mental health problems, but the broader autism phenotype (BAP) is an under-researched area. Thus, we also aimed to compare 33 BAP and 26 non-BAP mothers on mentalizing abilities, autistic traits, compensation and mental health. Our results revealed that more evaluative contexts can facilitate implicit mentalizing in BAP and non-BAP populations, and thus improve task reliability and replicability. Surprisingly, BAP mothers showed better implicit mentalizing but worse mental health than non-BAP mothers, which indicates the heterogeneity in the broader autism phenotype and the need to promote BAP mothers’ psychological resilience. The findings underscore the importance of contexts for implicit mentalizing and the need to profile mentalizing and mental health in BAP parents.

This study developed and validated the Telepsychology Facilitators Scale (TFS), a novel measure that uses the theory of reasoned action and technology acceptance model as frameworks to assess factors that influence psychologists’ openness to using telepsychology. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, an online sample of N=2,619 psychologists completed initial items considered for the TFS, along with a measure assessing their actual use of telepsychology. The sample was split in half, with a preliminary exploratory factor analysis (EFA) ultimately revealing a 13-item general scale with four distinct subscales (Positive Attitudes, Facilitating Infrastructure, Organizational Support, and External Policies). Higher scores on each subscale positively correlated with psychologists’ percent of patient treatment conducted with telepsychology. The EFA subscale structure was subsequently supported via confirmatory factory analyses of a four-factor structure and bifactor structure (tested separately) with the other half of the sample, revealing adequate model fit for both models and similar convergent validity. The TFS may help the field assess the potential barriers and drivers of telepsychology use among psychologists and be used to inform future organizational and policy efforts to increase telepsychology implementation and use across health service settings.
Targeting the Warburg Effect with Glucosodiene: A Case Report of a 43-year-old Female after Mastectomy of the right breast and axillary clearance with Successful First Case Treatment for Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) of Bone
Authors: Ahmed Amr
Published: November 2023

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive subtype, representing 15-20% of cases. TNBC lacks estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors, making it challenging to treat. This study explores a novel approach by investigating the metabolic pathways in TNBC, focusing on the alkaline glucose isomer, glucosodiene, as a potential therapy. The Warburg effect, discovered in 1924, serves as the basis for this investigation. The case report presents a 42-year-old female patient with TNBC Patient with MRM, Modified radical mastectomy, With axillary clearance., exhibiting a right breast lump with lymph node metastasis. Diagnostic tests confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma GII with negative hormone receptors and HER2/neu. The patient had previously undergone unsuccessful traditional chemotherapy and presented with bone metastasis. Treatment with glucosodiene for 15 days resulted in normal vital functions and no signs of cellular activity. This case study aims to evaluate an individualized treatment plan for TNBC patients and establish effective follow-up protocols. THE TRIAL IS REGISTERED UNDER CLINICALTRIALS.GOV NUMBER NCT05957939.

This study aims to determine the effect of motivation, work environment, workload, discipline, commitment and job satisfaction on the performance of employees at the offices of industry, trade, cooperatives and SMEs in Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The study used a survey of 45 employees where this number is the population as well as the sample. The results showed that motivation, commitment and job satisfaction had a positive effect, while workload had a negative effect, while the work environment and work discipline had no effect on employee performance. As seen on the results of the analysed data, motivation has influence on employee performance although the work environment does not affect employee performance. It can also be seen that workload negatively affects employee performance, while discipline does not affect employee performance. On the other hand, commitment has influence on employee performance, while job satisfaction has influence on employee performance. Simultaneously, motivation, work environment, workload, discipline, commitment and job satisfaction influence employee performance. The research was conducted in a rural area therefore it was challenging to get accurate answer from the respondents due to lack of understanding and poor internet condition.

Published: November 2023

Laser Induced Phased Arrays (LIPAs) are based on the principles of laser ultrasonics where ultrasound is generated and detected by lasers. The laser beams are scanned on the inspected component, collecting data from various array element positions. In this way, an array is synthesized in post processing by applying a variety of ultrasonic imaging algorithms. Unlike transducer based phased arrays, which have fixed geometry of instrumentation, fixed number of elements and pitch as well as fixed operational ultrasonic frequency, LIPAs present a flexibility in array design and introduce the element of reconfigurability, tailored to the requirements of the specific inspection scenario. This paper proposes a method for automated defect detection that is immune to the inherent flexibility of LIPAs and does not depend on fixed array characteristics or large volumes of training data as is the case with methods such as amplitude threshold or machine learning methods. The proposed method is based on the analysis of the noise distribution of the ultrasonic images using TFM images as a case study. This noise distribution is assumed to exhibit Rayleigh distribution for the type of materials presented and the defect detection is based on the Rayleigh Distribution Shift (RDS). A predetermined threshold is set in the noise distribution. TFM images of LIPAs with progressively increasing number of array elements have been experimentally acquired from an aluminum sample in areas with and without defects (1 mm side drilled hole). The shift in the noise distribution peak is compared to the defined threshold. If the peak of the noise distribution crosses the threshold this indicates a detected local Region of Interest (RoI) with the corresponding image pixels signaling its location. Otherwise, the image is considered defect-free. The paper evaluates the performance of this method in defect detection and explores how the threshold of the noise distribution is set, presenting the average precision as a performance metric.
