MAKING BODIES KOSHER
Authors: Kasstan Ben
Published: November 2023

Minority populations are often regarded as being ‘hard to reach’ and evading state expectations of health protection. This ethnographic and archival study analyses how devout Jews in Britain negotiate healthcare services to preserve the reproduction of culture and continuity. This book demonstrates how the transformative and transgressive possibilities of technology reveal multiple pursuits of protection between this religious minority and the state. Making Bodies Kosher advances theoretical perspectives of immunity, and sits at the intersection of medical anthropology, social history and the study of religions

THE SOUND OF SILENCE
Authors: Äikäs Tiina , Salmi Anna-Kaisa
Published: November 2023

Colonial encounters between indigenous peoples and European state powers are overarching themes in the historical archaeology of the modern era, and postcolonial historical archaeology has repeatedly emphasized the complex two-way nature of colonial encounters. This volume examines common trajectories in indigenous colonial histories, and explores new ways to understand cultural contact, hybridization and power relations between indigenous peoples and colonial powers from the indigenous point of view. By bringing together a wide geographical range and combining multiple sources such as oral histories, historical records, and contemporary discourses with archaeological data, the volume finds new multivocal interpretations of colonial histories.
VOICES ON WAR AND GENOCIDE
Authors: Bartov Omer
Published: November 2023

Taking as its point of departure Omer Bartov’s acclaimed Anatomy of a Genocide, this volume brings together previously unknown accounts by three individuals from Buczacz. These rare narratives give personal glimpses into daily life in unsettled times: a Polish headmaster during World War I, a Ukrainian teacher and witness to both Soviet and German rule, and a Jewish radio technician, genocide survivor, and member of the Polish resistance. Together, they offer a prismatic perspective on a world remote from our own that nonetheless helps us understand how people not unlike ourselves responded to mass violence and destruction.
GOING FORWARD BY LOOKING BACK
Authors: Riede Felix , Sheets Payson
Published: November 2023

Catastrophes are on the rise due to climate change, as is their toll in terms of lives and livelihoods as world populations rise and people settle into hazardous places. While disaster response and management are traditionally seen as the domain of the natural and technical sciences, awareness of the importance and role of cultural adaptation is essential. This book catalogues a wide and diverse range of case studies of such disasters and human responses. This serves as inspiration for building culturally sensitive adaptations to present and future calamities, to mitigate their impact, and facilitate recoveries.
SETTLING FOR LESS
Authors: Dinero Steven C.
Published: November 2023

The resettlement of the Negev Bedouin (Israel) has been wrought with controversy since its inception in the 1960s. Presenting evidence from a two-decade period, the author addresses how the changes that took place over the past sixty to seventy years have served the needs and interests of the State rather than those of Bedouin community at large. While town living fostered improvements in social and economic development, numerous unintended consequences jeopardized the success of this planning initiative. As a result, the Bedouin community endured excessive hardship and rapid change, abandoning its nomadic lifestyle and traditions in response to the economic, political, and social pressure from the State—and received very little in return.

Published: November 2023

Güç taşınmasında gerek arıza olasılıklarının azaltılması gerekse güvenlik gerekçeleri ile orta gerilim kabloları tercih edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, enerji talebinin arttığı bölgelerde çok sayıda kablo sisteminin aynı kanal veya galeri içerisinde paralel şekilde tesis edilmesi zorunluluğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bir transformatör merkezinin ana indirici çıkışından dağıtım merkezine kadar tesis edilmiş olan güç kablolarının kuplaj barası üzerinden bağlandığı bir uygulama incelenmiştir. Öncelikle kablo sistemi modellenerek analizi gerçekleştirilmiş ve saha ölçüm verileri ile model doğrulanmıştır. Ardından, çeşitli parametrelere bağlı olarak kuplaj barasından geçen akımlar ile kablolar üzerinde oluşan akım dağılımlarının değişimleri incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, tüm bu parametrelerin kablolarda taşınan akımlar ile kuplaj akımları üzerinde önemli oranda etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu durum, paralel devrelere sahip kablo sistemlerinde gerek enerji temininin sürekliliği gerekse sistem güvenilirliğini sağlayabilmek için kablo sistemlerinin tesis edilmesi esnasında işletme süresince karşı karşıya kalınabilecek işletme koşullarındaki değişimlerin göz önünde tutulması gerekliliğini ispatlamaktadır.
A NEW APPROACH TO TENSILE TESTING OF GFRP BARS
Authors: AYBAR Kerem , ERYILMAZ YILDIRIM Meltem , CANBAZ Mehmet
Published: November 2023

Tensile testing is a critical procedure for evaluating the mechanical properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars, which emerged as an alternative to traditional steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures. While significant research has led to the development of testing standards for GFRP bars, their implementation often necessitates additional specimens and specialized equipment compared to their steel counterparts. This study proposes a new method for conducting GFRP tensile tests using standard equipment designed for conventional structural steel rebar testing. By employing existing devices, our approach offers a practical and cost-effective solution for assessing the tensile properties of GFRP reinforcement. This simplified testing method aims to enhance efficiency, facilitate wider adoption of GFRP bars in reinforced concrete structures, and contribute to the advancement of sustainable construction practices.
Universal Basic Income in the Republic of Korea: Development of Social Security or Populism?
Authors: “Problemy Dalnego Vostoka” Editor
Published: November 2023

Since the 2010s the Republic of Korea is experiencing a wide range of socio-demographic problems — the aging of the population, low birth rate, the destruction of the traditional family structure, inequality, poverty of the elderly, youth unemployment. Every year these problems exacerbate each other, inflaming the discussion in politics and society about the need to develop the social security system. According to OECD standards, social welfare spending in the Republic of Korea remains low, and social policy itself is recognized as ineffective, examples of which are increasing income polarization, poverty and extreme poverty that drives many people to suicide. Social policy cannot solve the primary problem of Korean society — the declining birth rate. The discussion about the development of the social state in ROK, among other things, focuses on the possibilities of the universal basic income — a system that involves unconditional unified payments to every resident of the country. Left-wing parties are increasingly resorting to the topic of the universal basic income in their election programs. The article talks about experiments on the implementation of the universal basic income in the Republic of Korea, analyzes the programs of presidential candidates in 2022. The experiments and election slogans of left-wing politicians are designed primarily to support young people and increase their electoral activity. In addition to the usual conclusion about the immaturity of the social system of ROK by European standards, it is important to understand that awareness of the possibilities of the UBI among the population is also insufficient to play a significant role in the outcome of the elections.

Association between trunk rotation and pelvic rotation in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis
Authors: Zhang Yafei , Chai Tingting , Weng Hao , Liu Yang
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested an association between pelvic rotation (PR) and scoliotic deformity in severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), but none have investigated this relationship in mild to moderate AIS. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between PR and trunk rotation in mild to moderate AIS. METHODS: This was a case-control study. The cases were 32 AIS patients with PR in the opposite direction to the thoracic curve, and the controls were 32 AIS patients with PR in the same direction as the thoracic curve. All patients were assessed with the Adams forwards bend test. Type II trunk rotation was selected as exposure. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between PR direction and types of trunk rotation while accounting for confounders. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the relationships between PR magnitude and the angle of trunk rotation (ATR). RESULTS: Logistic regression showed an unadjusted OR of 9.13 (95% CI 2.92–28.50, P< 0.001), and adjustment for sex and Cobb angle only slightly changed the OR (adjusted OR, 8.23; 95% CI, 2.51–27.01; P= 0.001). The concave/convex ratio was associated with ATR measurements in both cases (β=-0.379; P= 0.030) and controls (β=-0.468, P= 0.008). CONCLUSION: An association was found between PR and trunk rotation, which may help achieve more effective physiotherapy in mild to moderate AIS.

Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND: There has been a dearth of research into the benefits of water-based workouts for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effect of Aqua Stretch and Aqua Pilates in improving quality of life (QOL), function, and pain in AS patients. METHODS: This study was conducted on 40 patients, who were randomly assigned to the Aqua Pilates, Aqua Stretch, and control groups. The experimental groups attended interventions for six-week. QOL, pain intensity, function, and fatigue were measured before and after treatments. RESULTS: Except for the chest expanding, all variables in the Aqua Stretch group changed significantly after six weeks (p< 0.05). QOL (p= 0.002), 6MWT (p= 0.016), and Schober flexion (p= 0.011) showed changes, while BASDAI (p= 0.0001), VAS (p= 0.0001), fatigue (p= 0.0001), and Schober extension (p= 0.028) showed significant decreases. Except for chest expansion and Schober extension, which did not alter significantly after six-week of Aqua Pilates (p> 0.05), all other variables did. There was an increasing trend in 6MWT and Schober flexion (p= 0.021) and a decreasing trend in BASDAI (p= 0.002), VAS (p= 0.0001) and fatigue (p= 0.002). Except for QOL (p= 0.016), no statistically significant differences were found between the groups. CONCLUSION: All variables had a significant change after six-week Aqua Stretch, except for the chest expanding. Chest expanding and Schober extension were the variables which had no significant change after six-week Aqua Pilates. With the exception of QOL, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups. Aqua Stretch had the greatest effect on the VAS, as measured by the minimum clinically relevant differences (MCID). Moreover, in Aqua Stretch alone, there was a notable impact on fatigue, QOL, and the BASDAI.
A broadcast sub-GHz framework for unmanned aerial vehicles clock synchronization
Authors: Cecchinato Niccolò , Scagnetto Ivan , Toma Andrea , Drioli Carlo , Foresti Gian Luca
Published: November 2023

Nowadays, set of cooperative drones are commonly used as aerial sensors, in order to monitor areas and track objects of interest (think, e.g., of border and coastal security and surveillance, crime control, disaster management, emergency first responder, forest and wildlife, traffic monitoring). The drones generate a quite large and continuous in time multimodal (audio, video and telemetry) data stream towards a ground control station with enough computing power and resources to store and process it. Hence, due to the distributed nature of this setting, further complicated by the movement and varying distance among drones, and to possible interferences and obstacles compromising communications, a common clock between the nodes is of utmost importance to make feasible a correct reconstruction of the multimodal data stream from the single datagrams, which may be received out of order or with different delays. A framework architecture, using sub-GHz broadcasting communications, is proposed to ensure time synchronization for a set of drones, allowing one to recover even in difficult situations where the usual time sources, e.g. GPS, NTP etc., are not available for all the devices. Such architecture is then implemented and tested using LoRa radios and Raspberry Pi computers. However, other sub-GHz technologies can be used in the place of LoRa, and other kinds of single-board computers can substitute the Raspberry Pis, making the proposed solution easily customizable, according to specific needs. Moreover, the proposal is low cost, since it does not require expensive hardware like, e.g., onboard Rubidium based atomic clocks. Our experiments indicate a worst case skew of about 16 ms between drones clocks, using cheap components commonly available in the market. This is sufficient to deal with audio/video footage at 30 fps. Hence, it can be viewed as a useful and easy to implement architecture helping to maintain a decent synchronization even when traditional solutions are not available.

Published: November 2023

El 23 de julio de 1923 tuvo lugar la fundación del Banco de la Republica. Su diseño siguió las recomendaciones de la misión dirigida por Edwin Kemmerer, el asesor norteamericano que por esa misma época lidero el establecimiento de bancos centrales con características similares en todos los países andinos de Suramérica: Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia y Chile. El centenario de esa fecha constituye una gran oportunidad para reflexionar sobre el papel que ha cumplido el Banco en la historia económica colombiana durante el siglo transcurrido desde su fundación. Gracias al apoyo del Banco de Desarrollo de America Latina-CAF, y de su presidente Sergio Diaz-Granados, hemos podido publicar en este libro cinco ensayos de gran relevancia para dicha reflexión. Los primeros cuatro fueron elaborados por autores que aparte de ser ampliamente reconocidos como historiadores, han sido también actores importantes de la política económica de Colombia y han estado vinculados directamente al Banco y a su Junta Directiva. Jose Antonio Ocampo presidio la Junta en dos oportunidades como ministro de Hacienda, entre agosto de 1996 y noviembre de 1997 y entre agosto de 2022 y abril de 2023, y fue codirector entre 2018 y 2019. Miguel Urrutia fue gerente general durante doce años a partir de 1993 y había sido previamente codirector desde la creación de la Junta Independiente por parte de la Constitución de 1991.

A Morpho-Syntactic Analysis of Personal Names in Oǹdó
Authors: Awolaoye Sunday Olayinka
Published: November 2023

Names are important in the Yorùbá culture. It is like a lens that clearly reflects the people’s social background and their cultural ideologies. Names are means by which a person is identified. It is considered among Yorùbá to be of life longer, even than the bearer of the names, hence the need for a name to be protected from being destroyed. All these are what scholars have said about names in the standard dialect of Yorùbá. This essay explains the form and structure of personal names in the Oǹdó dialect. By this we mean an attempt is made to explain the morpho-syntactic analysis of personal names in Oǹdó.  Oǹdó dialect spoken in communities such as Ile̩-Oluji, Oǹdó, Ìdànrè, Ajùé, Òdìgbó, Òkè-Igbó, etc. The data collected were from the native speakers through interviews on the personal names. The analyses reflect that Oǹdó's personal names are morphologically derived through the de-sententialisation process. In terms of syntactic structure, most of the names are generated from simple basic sentences, compound sentences and negative sentence.
Ijegbe and Luse Performances, and the Dialects of Collectivized Tragedy and Ideology among the Ilaje
Authors: Ajimisan Stephen Ola
Published: November 2023

This essay explores the genres of Biripo, the Ilaje oral performance or folk-poetry, Ijegbe and Luse vis-à-vis the notion of collectivised tragedy and ideology among the people. Few forays have been undertaken into Biripo, but no known research has been carried out Ijegbe, Luse and collectivised tragedy and ideology among the people. The essay adopts Richard Schechner’s performance theory which sees performance as representation of self and advocates the revolutionary departure from the confinement of theatrical enactments to the theatre. The theory is suitable since the concepts of Ijegbe and Luse are performance-centred. The essay employs oral interviews; secondary materials like textbooks, filmic records of already performed Ijegbe and Luse, journal articles and electronic materials for information garnering.

The essay unfolds the meanings of Ijegbe and Luse as the mother of or home-grown forms of the modern rap art or music. They are the genres of Biripo that are performed as the indigenous form of western dirge or elegy performed for the sole purpose of mourning the loss one’s loved ones. The paper also reveals how practice of collective performance of Luse and Ijegbe epitomises the notion of collectivised or shared tragedy and ideology among the people. Also revealed in the essay is the fact that the two genres are potent agencies of transmission and propagation of indigenous knowledge system. The paper, therefore, recommends the perpetuation of the forms for the continuity of the people and their sense being.

The incidence of low birth weight (LBW) is still the focus of an important problem to pay attention to, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. LBW is one of the causes of death in neonates and requires them to undergo treatment in the intensive care unit at the hospital. There are several factors that are strongly suspected of being a risk for LBW events. The aim of this research is to identify some of the risks that contribute to the incidence of LBW during the Covid-19 pandemic. A non-experimental study with a case control design was conducted in this study. Total sampling was used to get the sample, with a total of 90 case groups and 90 control groups. The case group was LBW while the control group was non LBW. The data collection technique uses secondary data by looking at medical records. The medical records used were medical records between April 2020 and August 2022. The statistical test used was the Chi-square test to get the Odds Ratio (OR) value. The results of this study indicate that multiparous mothers are 2.71 times more likely to give birth to LBW infant than primiparous mothers (OR. 2.71; 95% CI: 1.139-3.767; p=0.017). Mothers who are anemic will tend to give birth to LBW infant 2.026 times compared to mothers who are not anemic (OR.2.026; 95% CI: 1.102-3.723; p=0.023). Mothers who have a history of Covid-19 infection will tend to be 4.038 more likely to give birth to LBW infant than mothers who are negative for Covid-19 (OR.4.038; 95% CI: 1.087-15.002; p=0.037). The conclusion is parity status, anemia status, and history of COVID-19 infection are risk factors for LBW events during the Covid-19 pandemic.

One of the complaints during pregnancy that is often experienced is constipation, this is due to the influence of the hormone progesterone which affects intestinal peristalsis. If left untreated it can cause hemorrhoids during pregnancy. This study aims to analyze the causes of constipation in pregnant women in the Sukowidi Banyuwangi area. The method used was qualitative with a phenomenological approach from 14 participants, namely 5 mothers, 5 husbands, 3 biological parents, and 1 midwife using in-depth interviews and then analyzed manually. The interview results obtained from the 5 participants said they had experienced constipation during pregnancy, during constipation the mother said she rarely ate foods that were high in fiber so that constipation took longer to resolve. Mothers feel sad and anxious during constipation because they cannot do normal activities, but mothers get full support from their husbands and parents by easing the work that mothers do every day at home such as washing, cooking, and cleaning the house. Efforts to overcome constipation during pregnancy, pregnant women increase water consumption at least 12 glasses per day so that the digestive process in the intestines becomes better. In addition, mothers should eat more high-fiber foods such as vegetable and papaya fruit. Providing comprehensive education can prevent constipation during pregnancy.

Interaction of the National Police of Ukraine and civil society institutions: concept and legal framework
Authors: Pylyp V. V.
Published: November 2023

In a state governed by the rule of law, the public plays a central role not only as a recipient of public services, but also as a subject involved in the implementation of many functions of state institutions. This involves not only public control over the activities of public authorities, but also the performance of tasks aimed at shaping the security environment in the state, performing law enforcement functions, etc.

The introduction of martial law on the territory of Ukraine and the existence of real threats to national security have led to dramatic changes in the usual order of public administration, in particular in the activities of the security and defence sector, law enforcement agencies, local self-government, etc. Some normative changes were aimed at improving the legal relations that arose in the course of civil society institutions’ activities. Under the new conditions, not only the forms of activity have changed, but also its directions have expanded. In today’s realities, civil society institutions play a significant role in the implementation of the law enforcement function of the state, which is not only about ensuring public order and safety. The above-mentioned issues raise the task of improving the effectiveness of cooperation between the National Police of Ukraine and civil society institutions.

Based on the results of a multidisciplinary generalisation of the scholars’ achievements in the field of Administrative Law, it has been determined that in a broad sense, interaction between the National Police of Ukraine and civil society institutions should be understood as their joint coordinated activities regulated and carried out in accordance with the requirements of current legislation, which may take various forms and is embodied in a large number of measures whose overall purpose is to ensure the formation of a secure environment in the State. It is emphasised that it is important to establish effective interaction between the above-mentioned entities to comply with the legal framework, to understand and apply it correctly in practice (to ensure its observance in practical activities), since this will guarantee its effectiveness and legitimacy.

The legal principles of interaction between the National Police of Ukraine and civil society institutions include legality, publicity, openness, transparency and partnership. Given the realities of today, these provisions require further research, taking into account the changes undergone by the legal system of Ukraine.
The importance of improving the legal regulation of animal treatment in terms of preventing cruelty
Authors: Seliukov V. S.
Published: November 2023

The subject of this article is a set of legal acts in Ukraine that regulate the general procedure and principles of animal treatment and the forms/methods of ensuring their welfare in the modern world. For a long time, the issues of protection and maintenance of normal conditions for the existence of the animal world have been somewhere “alongside” the need to regulate social relations, although everyone knows that the model of animal treatment is a prototype of a human behavioural algorithm in society.

The purpose of the article is to provide a general analysis of the essence and content of the regulatory provisions governing the process and procedure of animal treatment, with a view to further clarifying the forms and means of preventing such treatment. Achieving this goal requires solving a number of tasks, including: providing a general description of the regulatory framework for the existence of animals in modern Ukraine; developing a specific direction for improving the national legislation of Ukraine, the purpose of which should be to more effectively regulate human-animal relations in all areas, with the maximum possible exclusion of cruelty to animals.

The article presents arguments and draws conclusions on improving the classification of animals in national legislation and systematising regulations in this area, which should ultimately ensure normal conditions for the existence of animals in Ukraine. The issue of defining the concept of fauna in modern Ukraine is rather limited and does not correspond to the concept of modern interaction between humans and animals in many areas of public life.

In a state governed by the rule of law, all spheres of public life must be effectively regulated, which explains the need to consolidate all existing legal acts in Ukraine in the field of animal welfare and protection and bring them into line with international standards. This issue is extremely important precisely because humanity cannot exist without the animal world. Such improvements are aimed at clearly defining procedural algorithms for detecting, recording, preventing and suppressing cruelty to animals.

The main identification tasks of a commodity expertise are to determine the type, name and assortment group of the product; what materials and components were used in its manufacture; what technology was used to manufacture the furniture product; whether the design parameters and consumer properties of the product under investigation correspond to those stated in the regulatory and technical documentation.

The peculiarity of a trade examination of any product is that a defect may arise both through the fault of the manufacturer (seller) and the fault of the buyer (consumer). In practice, there are cases of fraud on the part of companies and individuals, for example, when users intentionally damage parts or components of a product in order to return a product under warranty and receive monetary compensation for an allegedly defective product. This is also relevant for foreign trade agreements, when, by spoiling the delivered goods, the counterparty seeks to receive liquidated damages after termination of the contract, and further, material compensation for lost income according to the arbitration court decision.

The article reveals the peculiarities of conducting a forensic commodity examination of furniture products, systematizes the characteristic defects of goods that are most often detected by experts, presents some stages of conducting a forensic commodity examination of furniture. Recommendations regarding furniture quality assessment for participants in external economic activity, expert organizations and consumers are also provided.

The article presents the survey data of 4422 Kharkiv students from higher education institutions of III-IV accreditation levels, among whom 8.1 % used drugs during the last year. Using the validated and adapted BFI-10 screening questionnaire for the rapid diagnosis of five personality factors, the association of personality factors with drug use in the 12 months before the study has been established. The analysis of the leisure activities of student youth in Kharkiv shows that it is quite stable. The most common forms of leisure are spending free time on the Internet, going for walks and socialising with friends, studying and doing homework, watching films and TV programmes (including on the Internet), as well as hobbies and interests. Individual sports activities, reading books, going to cafes and restaurants with friends, playing computer games, and working or having a part-time job are of medium prevalence. The least common forms of active recreation were bowling or billiards, attending a sports section, concerts, clubs or discos. Doing homework (r=0.103, p<0.01), watching TV programmes (r=0.083, p<0.01) and playing sports individually (r=0.063, p<0.01) have a negative correlation with drug use. Low values of the big five personality factors “C” – conscientiousness (r=0.063, p<0.01) and work in free time (r=–0.136, p<0.01) – have a positive correlation with drug use.

Factor analysis has allowed to identify and meaningfully interpret eight factors that describe the internal structure of leisure activities of student youth in Kharkiv. Only one factor was found to be related to drug use which is the factor of “Earning money for drugs”, which consists of low values of the personal factor “Consciousness” and the dominance of work over studies in the structure of leisure time. Two factors related to computer game playing have also been identified such as “psychopathic gaming behaviour” and “neurotic gaming behaviour”. The findings allow to draw a conclusion that should be used in building prevention programmes: the risk of drug use increases in individuals with a low level of the Big Five C personality factor – consciousness – and the dominance of work and part-time jobs in the structure of leisure over the main activity of the student which is studying.

Gamification in education presents a number of benefits that can theoretically facilitate higher engagement and motivation among students when learning complex, technical concepts. As an innovative, high-potential educational tool, many educators and researchers are attempting to implement more effective gamification into undergraduate coursework. Cyber Security Operations (CSO) education is no exception. CSO education traditionally requires comprehension of complex concepts requiring a high level of technical and abstract thinking. By properly applying gamification to complex CSO concepts, engagement in students should see an increase. While an increase is expected, no comprehensive study of CSO gamification applications (GA) has yet been undertaken to fully synthesize the use and outcomes of existing implementations. To better understand and explore gamification in CSO education, a deeper analysis of current gamification applications is needed. This research outlines and conducts a methodical, comprehensive literature review using the Systematic Mapping Study process to identify implemented and evaluated GAs in undergraduate CSO education. This research serves as both a comprehensive repository and synthesis of existing GAs in cybersecurity, and as a starting point for further CSO GA research. With such a review, future studies can be undertaken to better understand CSO GAs. A total of 74 papers were discovered which evaluated GAs undergraduate CSO education, through literature published between 2007 and June 2022. Some publications discussed multiple GAs, resulting in a total of 80 undergraduate CSO GAs listing at https://bit.ly/3S260GS. The study outlines each GA identified and provides a short overview of each GA. It also provides a summary of engagement-level characteristics currently exhibited in existing CSO education GAs and discusses common themes and findings discovered in the course of the study.

Published: November 2023

The advancement of technology and the advent of the fourth industrial revolution have significantly influenced manufacturers’ strategies when it comes to production. In parallel with practical development, terminology may need to be changed over time as new information/technology or when understanding a particular concept evolves. This allows the language to reflect the current understanding and knowledge and ensures that communication remains accurate and precise. This study uses a systematic literature review together with theoretical-conceptual research to compare Industry 4.0 and Holonic Manufacturing System features. The results presented a theoretical-deduction framework illustrating where Industry 4.0 becomes New Holonic Manufacturing System. This work contributes to theory, motivating researchers of both fields to move efforts to jointly achieve New HMS. In practice, the proposed framework gives managers a deep understanding of the pathway organisations should follow to achieve a New Holonic Manufacturing System. Finally, it was possible to conclude that in the limit of full adoption, industry 4.0 becomes a New Holonic Manufacturing System.

Finger Outer Knuckle (FOK) is a distinctive biometric that has grown in popularity recently. This results from its inborn qualities such as stability, protection, and specific anatomical patterns. Applications for the identification of FOK patterns include forensic investigations, access control systems, and personal identity. In this study, we suggest a method for identifying FOK patterns using Local Directional Number (LDN) codes produced from gradient-based compass masks. For the FOK pattern matching, the suggested method uses two asymmetric masks—Kirsch and Gaussian derivative—to compute the edge response and extract LDN codes. To calculate edge response on the pattern, an asymmetric compass mask made from the Gaussian derivative mask is created by rotating the Kirsch mask by 45 degrees to provide edge response in eight distinct directions. The edge response of each mask and the combination of dominating vector numbers are examined during the LDN code-generating process. A distance metric can be used to compare the LDN code's condensed representation of the FOK pattern to the original for matching purposes. On the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Finger Knuckle (IITDFK) database, the efficiency of the suggested procedure is assessed. The data show that the suggested strategy is effective, with an Equal Error Rate (EER) of 10.78%. This value performs better than other EER values when compared to different approaches.

Identifying individuals from a facial image is a technique that forms part of computer vision and is used in various fields such as security, digital biometrics, smartphones, and banking. However, it can prove difficult due to the complexity of facial structure and the presence of variations that can affect the results. To overcome this difficulty, in this paper, we propose a combined approach that aims to improve the accuracy and robustness of facial recognition in the presence of variations. To this end, two datasets (ORL and UMIST) are used to train our model. We then began with the image pre-processing phase, which consists in applying a histogram equalization operation to adjust the gray levels over the entire image surface to improve quality and enhance the detection of features in each image. Next, the least important features are eliminated from the images using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. Finally, the pre-processed images are subjected to a neural network architecture (CNN) consisting of multiple convolution layers and fully connected layers. Our simulation results show a high performance of our approach, with accuracy rates of up to 99.50% for the ORL dataset and 100% for the UMIST dataset.
