Context-Based Emotion Recognition using the EMOTIC Dataset
Authors: Borawake Mansi
Published: January 2025

Emotion detection is an essential aspect of human-computer interaction, empowering systems to interpret and react
more accurately to human emotions. Traditional emotion recognition methods often rely on facial expressions or speech cues
alone, which may not capture the full complexity of emotional states. However, context - such as the surrounding environment,
objects, and interactions - Serves a key function in accurately identifying emotions. This paper introduces an innovative method
for emotion recognition that incorporates contextual information by utilizing the EMOTIC dataset, which contains images
annotated with both apparent emotions and their corresponding contextual features. By leveraging deep learning models that
combine conventional facial emotion detection with contextual cues, we significantly improve the precision and dependability of
emotion recognition systems. The proposed model outperforms baseline methods, demonstrating the critical importance of
context in enhancing emotion recognition performance.
Experimental Study on the Treatment of Rising Dampness and Evaluation of Compressive Strength and Efflorescence in Various Bricks Types
Authors: Devi Billa Gnana Prasanna
Published: January 2025

One of the most serious factors contributing to the degradation of both old and new construction is rising damp. This
phenomenon, which is well-known worldwide, happens when groundwater rises and flows through porous masonry materials.
The installation of damp-proof courses (DPCs) has been the focus of remedial therapies for several years now, since studies
worldwide have determined that the degradation at the base of walls is solely attributable to the phenomena of rising damp. But
in nations with hotter, drier climates and more salinized soils, water evaporates from walls at higher rates, which causes soluble
salts to build up in the masonry's evaporation zone. The humidity levels and the formation of mould pose health risks to the
inhabitants of the building. Extensive fretting and cracking of the lowest portions of walls might result from severe rising damp
and excessive salt concentrations. The issue of growing humidity has been addressed in several ways, but removing it from both
contemporary and old structures is still quite difficult. The experimental study was conducted on several different types of bricks.
The study utilised fly ash cement bricks, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), modular class A-1 bricks, and a
blend of plastic and fibre bricks. The partition wall supports horizontal beams, and since concrete is weak under stress, adding
fibres in the right amount to bricks helps control growing dampness and fractures. The wall may also withstand rising moisture
by applying damp-proof coatings. We examined the mechanical properties of brick construction, including compressive, waterabsorption, effloresces, and dimension and tolerance tests. In this research, 75% of the fibres have an aspect ratio, while 85%
are plastic fibers. Fibres' contribution to brick building and propagation is most evident after matrix mixing, which enhances the
walls' appearance, texture, strength, hardness, durability, porosity, absorption, and fire resistance. The inclusion of bricks,
polypropylene granules, plastic granules, and plastic flakes gives the wall more strength, stops the wall's capillaries from
absorbing moisture, and lessens internal wall degradation, water absorption, leaks, and spalling. Chemically fibred bricks, added
at 7, 14, and 28 days of mechanical testing, increase the compressive strength of fibre-reinforced plastic bricks compared to
modular bricks. We calculate the results of these tests to enhance the compressive strength, reduce efflorescence, and enhance
the dimensions and water absorption.

Published: January 2025

Abstract: Dysmenorrhea, the most frequent menstrual problem in adolescence, is a widespread condition affecting women
globally. It is highly prevalent, affecting around 50–90% of the female population, with a global prevalence rate of 71.1%
according to a meta-analysis spanning 38 countries. Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a common menstrual disorder affecting
many women and significantly impacting their quality of life. The symptoms of PD are lower abdominal or pelvic pain, which
may radiate to the back or legs, typically starting 6 to 12 months after menarche. Dysmenorrhea caused significant effects,
including school absenteeism, poor performance, difficulty in daily activities, and social life disruption. Yoga, as nonpharmacological alternative medical intervention, has been increasingly studied for its potential benefits in managing PD. The
purpose of this review is to highlight Yoga therapy as most effective alternative treatment in this cutting-edge era for primary
dysmenorrhea. This study reviewed English-language literature published from 2000 to 2024, searching databases like PubMed,
Google Scholar, and Scopus using keywords “yoga” and “menstrual pain” or “dysmenorrhea.” Out of 1,453 articles, 12 studies
met the selection criteria and were included in the final review. This review of 12 RCTs’ highlights the effectiveness of yoga
therapy for managing primary dysmenorrhea. Various yoga practices, including asanas, Yoga Nidra, and pranayama,
significantly alleviated pain and improved symptoms. This study concludes the positive effectiveness of yoga therapy in
managing primary dysmenorrhea. Yoga practices significantly alleviated pain and improved physical, psychological and social
aspects of health, suggesting yoga as a holistic and beneficial treatment for dysmenorrhea.

Authors: Kumar Adusumilli Varun , Chandra N. Jagadeesh , Raju N. Venkatesh
Published: January 2025

Abstract: Integrated Crop Production and Management is an innovative and sustainable approach that combines a variety of
farming practices to optimize crop yield, soil health, and environmental sustainability. The approach integrates strategies such
as crop rotation, organic fertilization, pest and weed management, water conservation, and soil fertility enhancement into a
comprehensive farming system. ICPM would minimize dependency on chemical inputs, promote soil structure, and enhance
biodiversity while improving crop tolerance to climatic variability and pests.
This paper explores the principles and methodologies behind ICPM, bringing to light how it can promote agricultural
productivity and ecological balance at the same time. The paper highlights the potential of IPM, conservation tillage, and
agroforestry in promoting farm resilience while reducing environmental degradation. Case studies and field experiments
demonstrate the effects of ICPM on crop yield, soil health, and profitability of the farm.
The adoption of modern and traditional practices in ICPM not only addresses the immediate needs of crop production but also
contributes to long-term sustainability. This research will demonstrate how ICPM can be a viable solution to current challenges
in agriculture, such as climate change, food security, and resource depletion, and offer farmers a pathway to more resilient and
sustainable agricultural systems.

Authors: Firjatullah Muhamad Sulthan , Wasis Wasis , Hidayah Nur Putri
Published: January 2025

This research aims to find out how to analyze legal protection for workers against direct termination of employment by employers. The research method used in this research was the normative juridical research method, which used a statutory approach and conceptual approach in assessing legal protection for workers against direct termination of employment by employers. The results of this study conclude that the provisions of Article 52 Paragraphs (2) and (3) of Government Regulation No. 35 Year 2021 do not provide preventive legal protection for workers because they do not provide an opportunity for workers to give their opinions before layoffs are carried out and the provisions of Article 52 Paragraphs (2) and (3) do not prevent layoffs. Article 52 Paragraphs (2) and (3) of Government Regulation No. 35 Year 2021 conflict with Article 52. 35 Year 2021 conflict with Article 28D Paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, contradicts the consideration letters c and d of the Manpower Law, contradicts Article 4 letters c and d of the Manpower Law, and contradicts the general explanation of the Manpower Law, the actions categorized as urgent violations in the article are criminal acts, but the article does not regulate the requirement that this urgent violation be proven first through a court decision with permanent legal force so that it has also violated the principle of presumption of innocence.
Do Prosecutors Have The Authority To Realize The Restorative Justice? An Indonesian Case
Authors: Sasongko Andy , Abdul Madjid  , Yuliati  , Fachrizal Afandi
Published: January 2025

This article explores the role of a prosecutor in realizing restorative justice in Indonesia. This research employs a socio-legal method, focusing on how legal certainty, legal order, justice, and truth can be achieved by upholding human values,  religious norms, politeness, and decency. The Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia has established, among others, the prosecutorial function and authority to promote restorative justice in terminating prosecutions in Indonesia based on Prosecutor's Regulation of Indonesia (PERJA RI) Number 15 of 2020 concerning Termination of Prosecutions Based on Restorative Justice. With the amendment of PERJA RI, it is hoped that the public prosecutor in handling criminal cases will act more humanely and conscientiously, prioritizing restorative justice, which aims at restoration to protect the lives of victims and people who commit criminal acts on the grounds of humanity and justice in society instead of focusing on retaliation against perpetrators. As the state institution responsible for prosecutions, the prosecutor's office strives to uphold legal certainty, truth, and justice in line with legal principles while respecting humanity, morality, decency, and religious values.
High-resolution Mass Spectrometry Study of Palm Jaggery Components with an Emphasis on Anti-microbial Properties
Authors: Reddy K. Ramachandra
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The palmyra (Borassus flabellifer L.) is a member of the Arecaceae family. The unfermented
palmyra tree sap, or neera, is used to make jaggery. Antimicrobials are substances that kill or inhibit the
growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The study focuses on elucidating
the antimicrobial properties of palm jaggery by analyzing the bioactive metabolites identified through High-
Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry (HRMS). Methodology: The optimised sample of Palm jaggery was
tested for metabolomics analysis. The High-Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry system instrument with the
model name Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid Mass Spectrometer developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific was used for
the analysis of Palm jaggery sample. The raw data obtained from the mass analyser were performed through
default parameters of “Compound discoverer 3.3.2.31” using online databases. Result: Utilizing HRMS, we
successfully identified a diverse array of bioactive compounds and other secondary metabolites. This study has
identified four key metabolites namely Diselane, Selenophosphate, Cadmium Sulfide, and Carnosol as having
notable antimicrobial properties. The reported antimicrobial efficacy of these components was systematically
evaluated and previous studies revealed significant antibacterial activity, particularly against both Gram-positive
and Gram-negative strains. Conclusion: Reported findings not only enhance the understanding of palm jaggery’s
biochemical profile but also highlight its significance as a source of antimicrobial agents, warranting further
exploration for applications in food preservation and healthcare. This study contributes to the growing body of
knowledge regarding the functional properties of traditional foods and their role in promoting public health.
The occurrence of introduced rosy red minnows (Pimephales promelas) in Alberta, Canada
Authors: Morris Matthew , Derlukewich Shona , McFadden Sean
Published: January 2025

Rosy red minnows are a golden morph of Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) commonly sold in pet shops and used, in some jurisdictions, as baitfish. They have formed several naturalized populations in British Columbia, where they are considered a priority conservation concern. The Government of Alberta had noted two occurrences of rosy red minnows in 2016 and 2017, but their identification could not be independently confirmed without photographic or physical vouchers. Based on our own collections, Royal Alberta Museum specimens, community science initiatives, and enquiries to other field researchers, we report that rosy red minnows have been present in Alberta earlier than previously thought, are likely breeding in Alberta, and have a widespread distribution from Fort McMurray to Lethbridge. Given that Alberta has native populations of wild-type Fathead Minnow, the impacts of rosy red minnows on native populations requires immediate attention.

Chinese customers’ attitudes towards sustainable practices in luxury resort hotels and their behavioural intention to pay
Authors: Wang Minhan , Tabari Saloomeh
Published: January 2025

With the changing environment and the times, sustainability has become the hottest topic at this stage, and this is reflected in the hospitality industry. This chapter will focus on sustainability, relating it to customers’ attitudes towards sustainability in resorts and analysing their intention to pay. To gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between customers and sustainability, this chapter will focus more on luxury resorts and Chinese customers to understand what their attitudes are towards sustainable practices in luxury resorts and their payment intentions. This research will take a quantitative approach, using questionnaires to arrive at data presented in charts and tables, which are more conducive to helping us discover the relationship between the data. The study found that Chinese consumers have a positive attitude towards sustainable behaviour in hotels and a significant positive relationship with intention to pay, but this also has a strong relationship with education level. Respondents with positive attitudes were more likely to base their level of willingness to pay on their ability to pay. These results agree with previous literature examining the positive influence between sustainability and customers. However, unlike the factors found in some studies, this study found education level to be a significant factor. This chapter provides a detailed study of Chinese customers of luxury resorts, by understanding their attitudes and motivations to take relevant sustainability measures.

Published: January 2025

Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe neonatal condition causing various neurological disorders and one of the main causes of mortality among full-term babies. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH), i.e. the newborn’s body temperature decrease that significantly reduces the risk of fatality and contributes to improvement of long-term outcomes in infants with HIE is the key treatment method for moderate-to-severe HIE. However, the timely diagnosis and disease severity determination are crucial for this method to be used, and the method has a number of limitations and requirements. Assessment of the mechanism underlying the effects of TH and the search for the major metabolic pathways and potential targets for HIE therapy are relevant. The study aimed to assess metabolome of dried blood spots by HPLC-MS, since it is the least invasive to patients test for the search for markers and metabolic pathways most active in TH that are likely to mediate its positive effects. As a result, alterations in the class of phosphoglycerolipids were found, which suggests an important role of endocannabinoid metabolism in protection of the body against HIE. Furthermore, metabolic pathways of ubiquinone, certain fatty acids, and bile acids were altered. The targeted quantitative studies of these metabolites will make it possible to optimize HIE diagnosis and treatment based on the potential targets identified.

Published: January 2025

Currently, testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA is more and more often used as a primary diagnosis method when conducting screening for cervical cancer. However, HPV genotypes reported when assessing cervical smears can differ from the results of testing cervical biopsy specimens. The study aimed to assess the features of detecting HPV DNA in the paired cervical canal epithelium samples and cervical biopsy specimens. HPV-positive patients (n = 99) underwent targeted cervical biopsy. The HPV DNA was detected 175 times in biomaterial obtained from the cervical canal and 111 times in histologic blocks. In the group of patients with chronic cervicitis, the rate of HPV DNA testing results match was 28.3%, in the group with LSIL it was 45%, and in the group with HSIL it was 67.7%. When the HPV viral load was low, the results were matched in 27.1% of cases, when the viral load was moderate in 35.4%, and when the viral load was high these were matched in 82.3% of cases. We revealed a relatively strong correlation between the viral load and the probability of the HPV test results match: the percentage of HPV DNA test results match between paired samples increases by 9.3% with the increase in the HPV viral load by 1 lg.

Farklı Canlı Ağırlığa Sahip Yumurtacı Tavuklara Tüy Dökümü Sırasında Uygulanan Döngüsel Yüksek Sıcaklığın İkinci Yumurtlama Dönemi Performansı, Bazı Organ Ağırlıkları ve Bacak Kemiği Özellikleri Üzerine Etkisi
Authors: Akşit Mustafa , Helva İhsan Bülent
Published: January 2025

Bu çalışma, aç bırakılmadan kırılmış arpa tüketimine dayalı tüy dökümü uygulamasında, farklı sıcaklık ve canlı ağırlıkların yumurta tavuklarının performansı, yumurta kalitesi, bazı organ ağırlıkları ve bacak kemiği özellikleri üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmada, zenginleştirilmiş kafeslerde yetiştirilen 80 haftalık yaşta 288 adet kahverengi yumurtacı tavuk (Lohmann Brown-Classic) kullanılmıştır. Tavuklar tüy dökümü öncesi canlı ağırlık (hafif, orta ve ağır) ve sıcaklık (kontrol ve döngüsel sıcaklık) gruplarına ayrılmıştır. Tüy dökümü döneminde, tavuklar kontrol grubunda 21-22°C'de, döngüsel sıcaklık grubunda ise günlük 10:00-18:00 saatleri arasında 32°C'de ve 18:00-10:00 saatleri arasında 21-22°C'de tutulmuştur. Tüy dökümü programı gruplardaki tavukların 35 günde canlı ağırlıklarının %25'ini kaybetmesini sağlamış ve bu dönemde tavuk ölümü olmamıştır. Tavukların tüy dökümü sonrası performansları perdeli bir kümeste üç ay bahar ve bir ay yaz mevsimi koşullarında incelenmiştir. Tüy dökümü periyodundaki döngüsel yüksek sıcaklık uygulaması, verim dönemi performansını etkilememiş, ancak yumurtaların kırılma direnci, Haugh birimi ve ak indeksini iyileştirmiştir. Ayrıca, canlı ağırlığı yüksek tavuklarda, tüy dökümü sonrası dönemde yumurta ağırlığı, tibia ağırlığı, uzunluğu, genişliği, kırılma direnci ile femurun ağırlığını ve kırılma direncini artmıştır. Yumurta verimi, yumurta ağırlığı, yemden yararlanma oranı ve yumurta kalite özellikleri tüy dökümü sonrası dönemde, tüy dökümü öncesine göre önemli ölçüde iyileşmiştir. Tüy dökümü döneminde tavuklarda, dalak ağırlığı artarken, yumurtalık, yumurta kanalı ve karaciğer ağırlıkları önemli ölçüde azalmıştır. Tüy dökümü döneminde uygulanan döngüsel yüksek sıcaklığın ikinci verim döneminde bazı yumurta kalite özelliklerini olumlu etkilediği ortaya çıkmıştır.

Published: January 2025

This research was conducted to determine the presence of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) and Apple mosaic virus (ApMV) that can cause infection in rose (Rosa spp.) plants grown in Konya province. For this purpose, field and laboratory studies were carried out in areas where roses are mostly grown for landscaping purposes, and infection rates were calculated with the data obtained. The hypothesis of the study is that roses in Konya province may be infected with PNRSV and ApMV and the presence of these viruses can be determined. In line with this hypothesis, various rose growing areas in Konya province were selected as the research area. During the field studies in 2023, guided sampling was carried out and 94 leaf, branch and flower samples were collected from different rose varieties. The collected samples were tested for determining of PNRSV and ApMV infections by Double Antibody Sandwich (DAS) ELISA method, which is one of the serological testing methods in the laboratory. As a result of the tests, it was revealed that the single infections of PNRSV and ApMV were present in 12 and 11 samples of rose plants in Konya province. The total infection rate of both viruses in the province was calculated as 24.47%. Also, PNRSV+ApMV mixed infections were detected in 2 samples. In this study, the infections of PNRSV and ApMV on roses in Konya province were determined for the first time by serological methods. These results will serve as an important source of information for rose producers and agricultural engineers in the region and will allow the development of strategies to control the spread of viruses and minimize infections.

Published: January 2025

Background & objectives

Cervical cancer (CC) has been documented as the fourth most common cancer worldwide. Persistent infections with high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) have been suggested in the development of CC. Although prophylactic vaccines are available for the prevention of prevalent hr-HPV types, intra-type variations exist within a particular HPV type that has varying oncogenic potential as well as the mechanism of pathogenicity and varying neutralization by antibodies. Therefore, we carried out a systematic review to determine the distribution of HPV intra-typic variations in different geographical locations of India and their reported implications.

Methods

Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were followed to retrieve relevant articles from the standard databases using appropriate keywords. Consequently, 17 articles were included in the current review after screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results

The majority of articles included in this review reported variations within the HPV16 E6 gene, followed by the L1 and E7 genes. Analysis of available data indicated the differential regional distribution of some variations. These variations have also been reported to impact the biological functions of various viral proteins.

Interpretation & conclusions

The distribution of lineages varied with the different genomic regions sequenced. Additionally, there were certain unique and common variations in the HPV genome with respect to geographical regions. Hence, we suggest the identification of region-specific variations for the development of diagnostic and prognostic interventions.

This study investigates the impact of Moodle-supported Outcome-Based Learning (OBL) on the acquisition of English language competencies among higher education students. The purpose was to explore how varying levels of interaction with Moodle influence student performance in Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, the study combined quantitative analysis of student scores with qualitative insights from participant feedback. The findings reveal that students who engaged more frequently with Moodle demonstrated higher and more consistent performance across all language competencies compared to those with lower engagement or no interaction with Moodle. The study also found that the development of these competencies is largely independent, as indicated by weak correlations between Reading, Writing, and Speaking scores. These results underscore the importance of tailored instructional strategies within Moodle to effectively target each specific language skill. The study concludes that while Moodle is a powerful tool for enhancing language learning, its effectiveness is maximized when activities are designed to address the distinct needs of each competency. The findings have significant implications for educators and curriculum designers, highlighting the need for a differentiated approach to using Moodle in language education.

Published: January 2025

Gamification is one of the strategies widely applied by junior high school teachers in English language learning within their classrooms. However, the implementation of gamification thus far only focused on incorporating all gamification elements without considering which specific elements have the greatest impact on improving students' English proficiency. To fill this gap, this research is conducted to discover the gamification elements that can optimally increase English proficiency. Using survey method, this research involves 250 respondents from junior high school students in Kota Malang who have an experience in gamification strategies. The results show that gamification elements cannot increase students’ English proficiency when implemented individually; while all involved gamification elements simultaneously affect the English proficiency. Therefore, to improve English proficiency, teachers should integrate all gamification elements within their instructional strategies. Because of its limitation, future research that involves respondents from different areas and school types needs to be conducted to provide a broader understanding of how these elements perform in various contexts.

Published: January 2025

Background and Aim of Study: South African banks are generally known for early technology adoption. While this is so, there is a need to integrate some of the fourth industrial revolution technologies such as big data analytics and cloud computing collectively referred to as cloud-based big data analytics; and subsequently consider technology related aspects required for adopting integrated technologies of this nature.
The aim of the study is to identify technology related factors that are necessary for adopting cloud-based big data analytics in South African banking.
Material and Methods: A qualitative research approach was followed as well as an interpretivism paradigm and a single case study research strategy. Semi-structured interviews were employed for data collection from eleven professionals in the Information Technology division of a South African bank.
Results: In total, 35 technology factors required for adopting cloud-based big data analytics were identified in this study and furthermore categorized into; internal cloud-based big data analytics criteria, cloud-based big data analytics capabilities or skills, cloud-based big data analytics data integrity levels, data security and readiness for adopting cloud-based big data analytics and cloud-based big data analytics external criteria.
Conclusions: The results of this study could imply that the adoption of cloud-based big data analytics in the banking sector takes into consideration an outsourcing model or setting. In this structure, technology factors are not only specific to the bank concerned. The banking sector has its own technology requirements that banks are expected to adhere to or take into consideration, while some technology factors could only be addressed by the cloud-based big data analytics service providers. The identified factors could be used in the conceptualization of a cloud-based big data analytics framework in future research.
