The Impact of Social Marginalisation on Science Engagement and the Extent of Barrier Reduction
Authors: Jin Yuye
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the impact of social marginalisation, including race, gender, and social class, on science engagement. Socially marginalised groups, such as women, people of colour, and lower socioeconomic classes, face significant barriers in science education and careers due to discrimination, stereotyping, and limited access to science capital. The paper explores how these factors intersect to influence the formation of scientific identity and contribute to underrepresentation in scientific fields. Efforts to reduce these barriers, such as inclusive science communication and stereotype manipulation, are critically evaluated. Although these interventions offer potential solutions, they remain idealistic and face significant challenges. The paper concludes that addressing these barriers requires deep structural and cultural reforms within the scientific community.

Preliminary Study on the Theory of Production-Oriented Social Welfare and the Welfare System in East Asia
Authors: Guo Shuheng
Published: September 2024

The productive welfare model originated in Western Europe at the end of the 19th century and has been gradually applied in East Asian countries and regions, reflecting the unique strategy of the government to balance economic growth and social welfare. This study discusses the reasons and effects of East Asian countries and regions choosing production-oriented social welfare policies. The study points out that the authoritarian political system, the influence of Confucian culture, government-led welfare policies and population aging play an important role in the choice of social welfare systems in East Asian countries. In addition, with the change of the international division of labor, the upgrading of the industrial chain and the reduction of the demographic dividend, this model is facing a series of challenges. This study provides a theoretical perspective and practical reference for understanding the development of welfare systems in East Asian countries under the background of globalization.
Memeriksa Alam Semesta dari Kehidupan Mikroba dan Implikasinya pada Kesejarahan Manusia
Authors: Septianno Beda Holy
Published: September 2024

Manusia sebagai entitas biologis bukanlah makhluk yang berevolusi secara individual. Dalam sejarahnya, perkembangan manusia merupakan suatu interaksi yang berkesinambungan dengan organisme lain. Kehidupan dimaknai sebagai kompleksitas hubungan yang saling memengaruhi antara organisme yang satu dengan yang lain (symbiotic collaboration). Makalah ini memperlihatkan arti kehidupan sebagai suatu interaksi berkesinambungan dalam kasus hubungan manusia dan kuman (mikroba). Jared Diamond dalam Guns, Germ & Steel (2019) telah memberi analisis bahwa hubungan manusia-kuman adalah “lomba evolusioner” dengan tujuan akhir yang dualistik: mati atau hidup. Gagasan tersebut pada akhirnya menekankan strategi evolusi cerdik mikroba dibandingkan manusia, karena mereka menyeleksi individu manusia yang bisa bertahan. Dengan menelisik kembali realitas objektif tentang evolusi bakteri-manusia, makalah ini hendak mendiskusikan pertikain soal evolusi itu sendiri dan pencarian akan panggilan sains yang sebenarnya. Di samping itu, tinjauan filsafat biologi dan analisis sejarah juga diberikan untuk memberikan dasar pemahaman tentang kehidupan itu sendiri.

Neutral Benchmarking of Survival Models in Health Sciences: Comparative Study of Classical and Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Abubakari Sumaıla , Karaman Filiz
Published: September 2024

Survival analysis plays a central role in diverse research fields, especially in health sciences. As an analytical tool, it can be used to help improve patients’ survival time, or at least, reduce the prospects of recurrence in cancer studies. However, approaches to the predictive performance of the current survival models mainly center on clinical data along with the classical survival methods. For censored “omics” data, the performance of survival models has not been thoroughly studied, either often due to their high dimensionality issues or reliance on binarizing the survival time for classification analysis. We aim to present a neural benchmark approach that analyzes and compares a broad range of classical and state-of-the-art machine learning survival models for “omics” and clinical datasets. All the methods considered in our study are evaluated using predictability as a performance measure. The study is systematically designed to make 36 comparisons (9 methods over 4 datasets, i.e., 2 clinical and 2 omics), and shows that, in practice, predictability of survival models does vary across real-world datasets, model choice, as well as the evaluation metric. From our results, we emphasize that performance criteria can play a key role in a balanced assessment of diverse survival models. Moreover, the Multitask Logistic Regression (MTLR) showed remarkable predictability for almost all the datasets. We believe this outstanding performance presents a unique opportunity for a wider use of MTLR for survival risk factors. For translational clinicians and scientists, we hope our findings provide practical guidance for benchmark studies of survival models, as well as highlight potential areas of research interest.

Published: September 2024

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) acceleration has caused automation and data exchange enhancements within industrial surroundings. Yet, this evolution has presented security issues due to the raised exposure of critical infrastructure to cyber threats. This study focuses on designing a thorough model for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities within IIoT networks utilizing Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques. A replicated IIoT network infrastructure was set to communicate and exchange data for simulation. Use of Python script to execute network scanning and data collection, distinct possible vulnerabilities. Then, ML-DL analysis is handled by employing techniques of gradient boosting, logistic regression, decision trees, random forest, multilayer perceptron, and convolutional neural network. Throughout, gradient boosting has proven to higher performance accuracy rate in recognizing the most impactful vulnerabilities. As well as a model integral part of a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) provides security recommendations to mitigate identified vulnerabilities. According to the CBA model vulnerabilities are prioritized based on the severity, related costs, and potential benefits of mitigation. The proposed Cybersecurity model in addition to high accuracy in vulnerability detection also provides a standardized approach for categorizing Cybersecurity countermeasures according to costeffectiveness. This study emphasizes the need for a consolidated Cybersecurity model for the IIoT and shows the capability of ML techniques to advance Cybersecurity posture. Future work considered testing the model in a real operation environment of IIoT, refining the model, and enrichment with more knowledge base actionable mitigations.
Wavelet Based Inpainting Detection
Authors: Adrian-Alin Barglazan , Remus Brad
Published: September 2024

With the advancement in image editing tools, manipulating digital images has become alarmingly easy. Inpainting, which is used to remove objects or fill in parts of an image, serves as a powerful tool for both image restoration and forgery. This paper introduces a novel approach for detecting image inpainting forgeries by combining DT-CWT with Hierarchical Feature segmentation and with noise inconsistency analysis. The DT-CWT offers several advantages for this task, including inherent shift-invariance, which makes it robust to minor manipulations during the inpainting process, and directional selectivity, which helps capture subtle artifacts introduced by inpainting in specific frequency bands and orientations. By first applying colour image segmentation and then analysing for each segment, noise inconsistency obtained via DT-CW we can identify patterns indicative of inpainting forgeries. The proposed method is evaluated on a benchmark dataset created for this purpose and is compared with existing forgery detection techniques. Our approach demonstrates superior results compared with SOTA in detecting inpainted images. The proposed methodology source code is uploaded here: https://github.com/jmaba/Wavelet-based-inpainting-detection

Authors: SEGURA DORA
Published: September 2024

A cirurgia de gastroplastia é um artifício significativo, reputada atualmente como recurso eficaz na abordagem da obesidade mórbida e suas comorbidades, é indicada tanto na redução de peso, quanto no gerenciamento e até na recuperação de doenças endocrinológicas. Todavia, estima-se que metade dos indivíduos irão regressar ao peso incipiente após cinco anos da intervenção, comprovando que a dificuldade primordial não se prende a redução do peso, mas a seu mantenimento final. Entretanto, a interpretação do êxito do tratamento deve levar em conta não só o decréscimo do peso, mas considerar outros fatores como a recuperação da qualidade de vida e autoestima. Dessa forma, foi objetivo desse estudo, avaliar a qualidade de vida e a satisfação com a imagem corporal de mulheres submetidas à gastroplastia que apresentaram reganho de peso. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo transversal, realizado com 30 mulheres, através da aplicação de um questionário relacionado a identificação pessoal e questões relacionadas a qualidade de vida, ainda foi aplicada avaliação segundo a escala de figuras de Kakeshita, que visa identificar a insatisfação com a imagem corporal. Os resultados demonstraram que apesar da ocorrência do reganho de peso, a maioria das participantes demonstrou satisfação em relação a melhoria da qualidade de vida, no entanto, apresentaram descontentamento em relação a sua aparência física. Levando a conclusão de que a realização da cirurgia não garante a conquista da forma física desejada, visto que isso depende de inúmeros fatores, não só físicos, mas também emocionais.

Published: September 2024

Soccer coaches, although not prominently featured in the foreground, are essential to the outcomes of the sport. They are key figures between athletes and organizational goals. Choosing, retaining, and developing the greatest athletes is the cornerstone to a successful coaching career. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire that was determine the characteristic soccer coaching styles. A experimental study involved the participation of 207 soccer coaches (B, A and PRO UEFA coaching license). The questionnaire comprises 14 themes and consists of 65 items designed to evaluate soccer coaching styles, developed from the updated Leadership Scale for Sport. The validation of the developed instrument in this empirical study was conducted using two procedures: (1) factor analysis (PCA with oblique rotation) and (2) an internal consistency assessment (Scale Reliability Analysis – Cronbach's Alpha). Nineteen significant factors were extracted, and they are as follows: Player contribution to the game system; Cooperation/ Opinions; Implementation of coach's requirements; Teaching; Motivation; Conflict resolution; Informations; Sanction; Expressing an opinion; Error correction at own discretion; Highlighting the good and bad sides of players; Instructions; Team goal setting; Highlighting positivism/ negativism; The coach's personal expectations; Team solutions; Strategy creation; Social support; The influence of the team on coaching decision-making. By analyzing the data, it was determined that “B” football coaches are characterized by the coaching style "positive feedback", “A” soccer coaches by the "training and instructor" and "positive feedback" styles, while “PRO” coaches are characterized by the "positive feedback" style and a slightly lower frequency by the "training and instructor" style. Using only one coaching/leadership style is certainly a limiting factor, as different situations require different coaching approaches.

Published: September 2024

Information security is a vital aspect of data communication that is of great concern while using computing devices. It is therefore not out of place in introducing cryptography at the early stage of the study of computer security. Many modern cryptographic methods are deeply rooted in mathematical principles and this makes it a little difficult to comprehend by some students who are deficient in mathematics in learning cryptography. An example of a simple and foremost technique used in cryptography is the Caesar cipher substitution method. This method is considered very weak in this modern day of quantum computing whereby the cipher text could be easily be deciphered. However, introducing cryptography principles using the Caesar cipher method would likely spur the interest of learners interested in computer security because of its simplicity. This paper was aimed at providing an easy approach to learning cryptographic principles at the introductory stage using the Caesar cipher encryption technique. An easy to comprehend algorithm was developed and implemented in Python programming language. The result produced the cipher text of the plain text encrypted. Also, a brute force attack was used to decipher the cipher text to expose the weakness of the method. This result would make learners to have an increased interest in modern cryptographic techniques.

Authors: Meshel Qablan Alkahtani
Published: September 2024

An effective application of artificial intelligence involves artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks and linear regression models were developed to simulate the effects of using discarded ceramic waste as a subgrade for pavement. The ceramic waste was used at 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%. A sample with 0% ceramic waste was tested to serve as a reference sample. The dataset was produced from laboratory experimentation findings used to train, test, and evaluate the model. A training set, a target set, and a prediction set were created from the dataset. The artificial neural network MSE was 0.42-1.40, while the linear regression model range was 1.74 to 3.63 for ceramic modified samples. The R2 range for the ANN model was 0.85-0.92, and the linear regression model exhibited a range of 0.71-0.78. The ANN model was more accurate than the linear regression model. Future studies are required to compare different machine-learning approaches for predicting soil mechanical properties.

Design outcomes in the Medical Building Projects (MBPs) must satisfy the demand of the medical staff and stakeholders. However, they often do not have the relevant engineering expertise, so the design team is prone to misunderstandings when communicating with them using traditional two-dimensional (2D) Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawings. The medical staff may not readily visualize and understand the design and then provide feedback to the designer through professional medical requirements or advice, which results in the need to redesign and carry out additional work during the design phase, thus delaying the progress of the MBPs. To address these challenges, this study aims to develop an integrated system based on BIM, advanced rendering engines, and VR technology for use in non-immersive and immersive VR environments. Moreover, in this study, the integrated system was applied to the infection-building project of the People's Hospital of Qingbaijiang District, Chengdu City, and semi-structured interviews were distributed to 16 engineers, designers, contractors, and medical staff who had been involved in the whole project to validate the practicality and effectiveness of the integrated system. The results indicate that this system integration is an efficient visual communication and simulation tool in medical design. Key advantages include enhanced communication efficiency between the design team and medical stakeholders, improved visual interaction, and streamlined decision-making processes within a 3D VR/BIM environment. The successful implementation of this integrated system is expected to significantly aid design teams and stakeholders in effectively managing medical design tasks in future projects.

Airport safety can be improved by efficient air traffic management, which monitors aircraft parking spots and controls their movement into them more efficiently. In addition to emergency situations, it can assist in accurately inspecting airport areas. Management costs can be reduced by reducing the workload of personnel in controlling and helping manage air and ground traffic. This research focuses on comparing the performance of various YOLOv8 models (YOLOv8n, YOLOv8s, YOLOv8m, YOLOv8nl, and YOLOv8nx) in an automated aircraft detection system using digital image processing techniques. The methodology involves collecting a dataset of 1,000 airport apron images with parked aircraft, dividing them into 900 training images and 100 testing images. The YOLOv8 models are trained on the training dataset, and their performance is evaluated on the testing dataset using confusion matrices. Experimental results reveal that YOLOv8nx achieves the highest average aircraft detection performance, with a precision of 0.94, recall of 0.74, and f1-score of 0.83. Additionally, YOLOv8n demonstrates the highest processing speed at 0.95 milliseconds. Consequently, YOLOv8n is suitable for applications requiring high-speed processing, while YOLOv8nx is ideal for tasks demanding the utmost performance efficiency.

Construction industry plays a significant role in economic growth, and the industry will continue to grow with the economic expansion. However, the industry is known for its labor-intensiveness, In order to shorten construction time and address labor issues, developers have explored new systems of construction such as a precast system. This paper is to present a comparative study of precast and cast-in place concrete system in construction home project by life cycle cost analysis by dividing project period into 3 phase (Preparing phase, Construction phase and O&M phase). In modelling life cycle costs, sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation will be employed to incorporate uncertainty of material and labor costs into the proposed model. The study also found that in 6 home projects, there have risk factors that impact to life cycle cost by using sensitivity analysis are construction cost, major repair and minor repair. The result from this study is life cycle cost from precast and cast -in place systems

A büntetôrendelkezések hatékonyságának kérdése a két háború közötti képviselô-jelöléssel kapcsolatos visszaélések megelôzésében
Authors: Hollósi Gábor
Published: September 2024

A tanulmányunk szűkebb témáját is érintő büntetőjogi szabályozás különlegessége, hogy egészen 1925-ig önálló törvény, az 1913. évi XXIII. törvénycikk volt irányadó a választási bűncselekmények – bűntettek és vétségek – megtorlása tekintetében. E törvény ugyanis a Csemegi-kódexnek „A polgároknak választási joga ellen elkövetett büntettek és vétségek” című fejezetét hatályon kívül helyezte, és e bűncselekményeket a büntető törvénykönyvből kiemelte. Az 1925. évi választójogi törvénybe azonban beépítették az 1913. évi szabályozást, így ekkortól kezdve az a választójog részévé vált. Emellett viszont lényeges, hogy az 1925. évi „kodifikáció” „A választójog védelmével kapcsolatos egyéb rendelkezések” címében foglaltaknak nem az 1913. évi törvény az előzménye. Hiszen büntetőrendelkezéseket tartalmazott az 1919. évi és az 1922. évi választójogi rendelet is, bár ezek „csak” kihágásért, súlyosabb esetben vétségért büntették a bennük foglalt szabályok megszegőit.
A 95 éves magánjogi törvényjavaslat és Magyarország területi változásainak összefüggései
Authors: Joó László Ádám
Published: September 2024

A magánjogi kodifikáció igénye, amely már a Hármaskönyv létrejöttét is megalapozta, és a reformkorban sem szorult háttérbe, a 19. század második felében új körülmények között jelentkezett. A polgári kor jogélete minden addiginál nagyobb mértékben kívánta meg egy, az egész ország területén hatályos, magyar magánjogi kódex megalkotását, ami a századfordulóra kézzelfogható eredményt hozott. Bár az 1900. évi tervezet és az azt követő törvényművek számos okból kifolyólag nem érhettek révbe, úgy tűnt, a jogalkotó az 1920-as évek végére pótolhatja az évszázados hiányt. Pesthy Pál igazságügyminiszter e szavak kíséretében nyújtotta be Magyarország Magánjogi Törvénykönyvének javaslatát (Mtj.) 1928. március 1-jén a képviselőháznak:
„Más azonban a helyzet Trianon után, mint volt a helyzet Mohács után, vagy 1848 után. Más a helyzet azért, mert ma nincs olyan idegen befolyás, ma nincs olyan idegen politikai irány, amely ennek a törvénynek megalkotását megakadályozná. […] Épen ezért most látom adottnak ezt a nyugodt pillanatot arra, hogy a magyar állami önállóság attribútumát képező ezt a törvényjavaslatot tető alá hozzuk.”
