Authors:   Department of Computer Science and Engineering University College of Engineering, Thirukkuvalai, S Mr.MADHAN
Published: May 2024

Object detection is a fundamental computer vision function for identifying and locating things in images or videos. Unlike image classification, object detection not only classifies the items in an image but also locates them inside the picture by constructing a bounding box around each one. Defence objects include a wide range of key assets needed for military and security activities. Tanks, armoured personnel carriers (APCs), military trucks, planes, helicopters, naval boats, and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are among the types of vehicles included. Detection of these vehicles is critical for tracking troop movements, analysing battlefield dynamics, and maintaining operational preparedness. The modern defence scenario demands improved surveillance and security measures to successfully counter growing threats. This work suggests using the You Only Look Once (YOLO) method for real-time identification of numerous defence items. The project's goal is to improve security by properly detecting a variety of items, including cars, individuals, equipment, and structures, with a single deep learning model. Methodologically, a broad dataset containing photos and videos of defence items in various locations is collected and preprocessed. The YOLO algorithm is then trained on this dataset, with parameters optimised for high accuracy and recall rates. Performance evaluation include thorough testing on various datasets to determine accuracy, speed, and resilience. KEYWORDS: Target recognition, Detection, YOLO algorithm, Military applications, Flying objects, Vehicles, Sensor integration, Real-time processing, Threat detection, Situational awareness.

Aedes aegypti (Ae aegypti) mosquitoes find suitable breeding grounds in agricultural practices such the use of irrigation during rice cultivation, the use of ponds for fish farming, and the storage of water in tanks for livestock. The anopheles’ mosquito is the most prevalent Aedes aegypti (Ae aegypti) mosquito in Tamil Nadu, India, and it is mostly responsible for the morbidity and mortality linked to dengue and malaria. As a result, farmers are particularly vulnerable to malaria and dengue fever, two diseases that have a negative effect on agricultural productivity. Regrettably, there is a dearth of data on farming methods and behavioral predisposing variables among farmers that could help Dengue and malaria programmers develop and carry out interventions to lower farmers' risk of infection. Therefore, an assessment was conducted among farmers in rural farming communities in Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu, on their understanding of dengue and malaria, as well as agricultural practices that encourage mosquito breeding.

Sericulture is considered as an age old occupation in Jammu and Kashmir. J&K has enormous potential for silk production empowering the farmers of J&K by increasing their income and employment (Dar et al., 2021).The raw silk produced in J&K is recognized across the globe. The size of land holding is less for sericulture activity compared to horticulture and agroforesrty. Farmers from about 20 districts of J&K take sericulture as the subsidiary occupation. Spring season crop (May-June) is the main crop in this region followed by second crop during September- October (Chouhan et al., 2016). Important mulberry varieties cultivated are Goshoerami, Ichinose, KNG, Kukusou 21, Sujanpur and Chak Majra (Shabnam et al., 2016). Silkworm races of commercial importance are DUN22, NB4D2, SK6, SKUAST-31, CSR18 and DUN6 (Buhroo et al., 2017). Sericulture is taken as a subsidiary occupation by about 33,000 rural households in J&K. Most of these families are economically backward and sericulture plays a crucial role for their livelihood. In order to empower these farm families productivity and quality of cocoons need to be improved by applying scientific package of practices. (Bhat et al., 2020). Inadequacy of mulberry leaves and lack of awareness on scientific technologies, ineffective marketing strategies are the hurdles for the progress of sericulture industry in J&K.

Authors: Abali Temple Probyne , Nkii Lucky Baripara
Published: May 2024

The New Calabar River catchment has experienced significant alterations in land use and land cover patterns due to the fast population growth in Port Harcourt. This research investigated the influence of urban land use change on the morphological structure of the New Calabar River basin, which is experiencing rapid urbanization in Rivers State. The research utilized a combination of primary and secondary data sources, specifically satellite imagery and field measurements of the hydro-geomorphic channel's breadth and depth. The findings indicated a significant rise in urbanization, resulting in the encroachment upon various land uses, including water bodies, farmlands, dense forests, and wetlands. Moreover, correlation and regression analysis revealed a significant positive link between channel morphology, discharge, and urbanization index. Therefore, it can be argued that the urbanization index and discharge are crucial in determining the river channel's current channel form and size features. The study also demonstrated a positive correlation between discharge and channel dimensions, including width and depth. The stream channel has experienced an expansion in reaction to the modification of the natural soil caused by urbanization, leading to changes in the stream flow regime. Additionally, it has been observed that the segment of the New Calabar River that encompasses urbanized regions tends to have a comparatively more significant cross-sectional channel. Incorporating urbanization analysis and its impact on morphology has facilitated the implementation of diverse geospatial analyses and sustainable watershed management in the basin.

Organic Fertilizer in Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Production: SWOT Analysis and Strategies
Authors: Adar Yazar Elanur
Published: May 2024

Medicinal and aromatic plants have been used for centuries for food, medicine, cosmetics, and spices. Due to increasing human and environmental health problems, interest in organic products is increasing day by day. The use of organic fertilizers not only improves crop quality but also improves soil and utilizes waste. The aim of the study is to conduct a SWOT analysis of the use of organic fertilizers in medicinal and aromatic plant production and to identify strategies. The SWOT analysis showed that strengths and opportunities outnumbered weaknesses and threats. Strategies (SO, ST, SW, WO, WT, WT, OT) were identified. Weaknesses and threats can be reduced by government incentives and training. The most notable weakness is that the use of organic fertilizers leads to low yields. Someone who aims to produce not only yield-based but also quality-based products should use organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers. Organic fertilizer produces healthy, quality crops, improves the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil and, if produced from organic waste, reduces environmental pollution and the amount of waste to be managed. The state should further promote the use of organic fertilizer to protect human and environmental health and to increase domestic/foreign markets. Producers should be trained in the effective production and use of organic fertilizer.

Lead toxicity is a major health problem in developing countries as lead exposure is widely scattered in the environment. Children are particularly vulnerable to the neurotoxicity of low-level, prolonged exposure to lead. Long-term effects of lead accumulation in children can damage them physically and mentally. We evaluated Blood Lead Levels (BLLs) among school children in Banda Aceh Municipality, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study with randomly selected participants was conducted in 2 junior high schools to determine the prevalence of elevated BLLs and gender differences. Among 130 children, aged 12-15, 32 (24,6%) of them had elevated BLLs based on CDC reference ≥3,5 µg/dl with a mean of BLLs 3,01 ±1.14, and 27 out of 32 (84.4%) with elevated BLLs were males. Male students had 5.62 times higher risk (CI:2.00-15.81) with elevated BLLs compared to female students (p=< 0.001). We concluded that the prevalence of elevated BLLs is high in both schools and there was a statistically significant difference in blood lead levels between male and female students. Other risk factors may affect the difference in blood lead levels among school children.

Linguistic orthodontics is a highly successful and visually pleasing treatment method for addressing malocclusions. It possesses a multitude of advantages in addition to potential disadvantages, including speech impairments, mastication restrictions, and oral agitation. Lingual braces can cause gingival hyperplasia and impact the health of the gums and periodontal tissues. This study conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA standards, specifically examining lingual orthodontic treatments that were the subject of randomized controlled trials. The study found that lingual brackets are more advantageous than buccal brackets for flat surfaces. Both types of brackets have been found to be associated with an elevation in plaque retention, gingival irritation, and S. mutans count. Because of an increased demand for adult orthodontic care, there are designed discrete treatment options such as lingual bracket systems. The demand is largely driven by appearance and cosmetics. Apparently, lingual brackets proved to be more efficacious for the prevention of caries on flat surfaces. Additional research is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of lingual orthodontic efficacy and safety compared to its counterpart
GLOBAL FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE MEDIATED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ISLAMIC CENTRAL BANKS
Authors:   Widya Mataram University of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Pandoman Dr Agus
Published: May 2024

The current global financial market, where money is based on debt, does not reflect a perception of wealth creation for inter-country life. The orientation of national income and expenditure has shifted towards debt. Citizenship has transformed into a consumerist lifestyle, and a country's economic policies have become dependent on the supply of debt. The financial structure of both nations and societies is created from one debt to another, with debt serving as the global financial standard. The Taylor rule links debt parallel to interest rates, transforming money into a commodity. Removing money from the current global financial market structure must be mediated by the establishment of a Shariah central bank under the supervision of the World Bank.

A tecnociência, conceito utilizado para estudar as ações da tecnologia sobre a produção do conhecimento científico, tornou-se um dos temas mais discutidos nos últimos anos. Na literatura, vários autores discorrem sobre o uso destes recursos para suprir demandas cotidianas, propor respostas e aprimorar o trabalho do homem sobre situações problemas de difícil resolução. Todavia, observar-se que na Ciências da Saúde, quando o tópico é a tecnologia, existe uma evasão de pesquisas. Julga-se esta ação justificável, dado ao fato que, a produção de materiais acerca do uso de tecnologias ocupa um lugar de pouco destaque nesta ciência, diferentemente do que ocorre nos setores das Engenharias e Ciências da Informação, em que este assunto ­está em acelerada discussão. Embora, espera-se que os profissionais da área da saúde sejam fortemente capacitados para produzir e utilizar os materiais tecnológicos dispostos, a escassez de mão-de-obra especializada, principalmente pesquisadores, geram problemas em relação à produção científica da tecnologia e o impacto destas nos contextos sociais. Dentro desta premissa, observa-se que, por mais que existam barreiras e desafios, há um movimento para superá-los, e com base nisso, considera-se importante propor novas estratégias e ambientes de discussões sobre estes recursos nas diversas áreas da saúde, dentre elas a Fonoaudiologia.

O consumo de hortaliças representa um hábito saudável, porém a má higienização desses vegetais pode acarretar em infecção por via oral de cistos de protozoários, ovos e larvas de helmintos, causando sérios danos à saúde como diarreia, anemia, obstrução intestinal, hemorragia e até morte. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a contaminação por Balantidium coli em hortaliças comercializadas no município de Jataí-GO. Foi realizada uma pesquisa experimental para o diagnóstico de enteroparasitoses em hortaliças obtidas de sete estabelecimentos, sendo três supermercados, duas feiras livres e duas hortas. Foram obtidas 21 amostras de alface (Lactuca sativa), 18 de rúcula (Chicarium sp.) e seis de agrião (Nasturtium officinale). As amostras foram lavadas com água destilada e solução Tween 80 e submetidas à técnica de sedimentação espontânea. A prevalência total de contaminação por estruturas parasitárias foi de 88,9% (40/45), sendo o protozoário Balantidium coli o mais prevalente (97,5%), contaminando principalmente amostras de alface (90,5%). As larvas de nematoides foram responsáveis pela 2ª maior prevalência (50%). Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a elevada ocorrência de B. coli pode estar relacionada com o cultivo, processo de irrigação com água não tratada ou durante o preparo dessas hortaliças, o que ressalta a importância da implementação de programas de saúde pública que visam conscientizar a população sobre a higienização dessas hortaliças antes do consumo.

A osteoartrose constitui uma das doenças articulares mais prevalentes e incidentes em idosos devido ao processo degenerativo da cartilagem articular, tornando-se necessária a intervenção cirúrgica denominada artoplastia total do joelho (ATJ). Diversas complicações podem acometer os indivíduos submetidos à ATJ, tais como: fenômenos sistêmicos e tromboembólicos; alterações na articulação patelofemoral, soltura dos componentes implantados, fraturas periprotéticas e, principalmente, as infecções da área cirurgiada. Evidências científicas apontam que a terapia por pressão negativa (TPN) é capaz de apresentar resultados promissores na cicatrização de feridas crônicas, agudas, traumáticas, subagudas, deiscentes, queimaduras, lesões por pressão, retalhos e enxertos. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os efeitos da TPN na prevenção de complicações em ferida cirúrgica de ATJ.

Autotrophic denitrification from elemental sulfur is an alternative to heterotrophic denitrification for substrates with a low C/N ratio. In this process, nitrogen compounds are reduced from elemental sulfur instead of carbon, as in the conventional process. However, it may be limited by the low concentration of alkalinity in these effluents. Thus, this study evaluated the performance of autotrophic denitrification of nitrified poultry effluent in four fixed bed reactors with a ratio of elemental sulfur/dolomitic limestone (1:0, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3 v/v) under conditions of the decline of initial alkalinity (1000, 800, 600, 400 and 200 mg CaCO3 L-1). Denitrification efficiencies greater than 84.8% were observed in conditions of initial alkalinity greater than 600 mg CaCO3 L-1 in the four reactors, associated with maximum yields of 445.1 mg SO4-2 L-1. The slow dissolution of dolomitic limestone may have impaired denitrification efficiency in conditions of initial alkalinity lower than 600 mg CaCO3 L-1. The autotrophic denitrification process proved viable for the treatment of nitrified effluent, and its efficiency was linked to the food substrate and the dissolution of dolomitic limestone.

Este trabalho busca, através de uma investigação bibliométrica, realizar uma análise das técnicas estatísticas mais recorrentes nos artigos científicos publicados pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), no período de 2021 a 2023, relacionados à área de finanças. No período observado, foram selecionados um total de 66 artigos que, além da estatística descritiva, utilizaram as técnicas de regressão linear e regressão de dados em painel para embasar os artigos publicados. Este estudo contribui para a literatura ao fornecer evidências sobre as técnicas estatísticas mais utilizadas na atualidade, relacionadas à área das finanças, visto que realizar análises da produção científica é crucial para além de acompanhar os avanços, identificar lacunas, possibilitar a troca de ideias e gerar debates que enriquecem o conhecimento tanto individual como coletivo auxiliando o avanço da ciência. Como sugestão de trabalhos futuros, recomenda-se que a pesquisa seja estendida aos principais periódicos da área, o período de análise dos artigos seja mais amplo e que um número maior das metodologias e técnicas mais utilizados nos artigos publicados seja apresentado.

Introdução: O movimento feminista foi desenvolvido no contexto iluminista com a finalidade de diminuir as desigualdades sociais entre homens e mulheres, bem como minimizar diferenças socioeconômicas e raciais. Objetivos: Desta forma, a presente abordagem visou discorrer sobre os impactos gerados pelo movimento feminista, identificando o que a população em geral conhece sobre o assunto, com quais elementos se identifica e de quais aspectos discorda. Métodos: utilizou-se um questionário online de múltipla escolha com dez perguntas claras e objetivas. Resultados: 219 pessoas responderam ao questionário, no total. O público foi predominantemente composto por mulheres brancas, com Ensino Superior completo, entre 36 e 50 anos. Dessas pessoas que responderam, 89% se mostraram favorável ao feminismo, 77,2% consideram que ele ainda é necessário, 73,5% não considera que o movimento feminista tem gerado impacto negativo nos valores da família e 83,6% acham que o movimento melhorou a vida das mulheres. No entanto, apenas 34,2% se consideraram como feminista praticante. Conclusão: o panorama obtido pelo estudo mostra uma boa aceitação dos conceitos e valores do feminismo, apesar de ainda enfrentar críticas. Notou-se também que outro empecilho para sua maior aceitação é o fato de seus defensores não serem vetores de seus valores.

One of the problems of modern optics is accurate and full description of the object and light fields. Thus,
the optical properties of the materials should be characterized not only by their absorption, but also by the
refraction, and the light fields near the object and detector — not only by the intensity, but also by the phase.
The 1972 the work of Gershberg and Saxton was the first attempt to solve this problem in free space without
optical elements, relying only on a quadratic detector and a computer simulation of the wave propagation.
Today, such lensless imaging is used at different wavelengths, from terahertz to hard X-rays. The purpose of
this work is to give a brief introduction to the theory of lensless imaging which can be applied to the X-ray
region. The results of the corresponding experiments in invisible light using He-Ne laser and testing objects
are also presented.
