Irrigation and Fertigation Scheduling for Peach and Citrus Crops
Authors: M. Hasan  , N. P. S. Sirohi
Published: May 2024

A completely automatic drip irrigation system used in fertigation for peach and citrus was designed and installed at the IARI farm. A separate fertigation control unit was made for operation and control of fertigation of fruit crops in the orchard. Fertigation scheduling comprised two important components i.e. estimation of crop water and nutrient requirement and their application in correct dosage at appropriate stage. The water requirement varied in different months and at various stages of the crop. Hydraulic fertilizer pumps were used for the fertigation through solenoid operated hydraulic valves. The most suitable dose of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was found to be 30, 15 & 30 ppm in peach and 60, 30 & 60 ppm in citrus during the initial stages of growth and fruiting. The annual consumption of major nutrients per tree was found to be 354 gm for nitrogen, 160gm for phosphorus and 345 gm for potassium. Water soluble fertilizers viz., Potassium nitrate, Ammonium nitrate and Phosphoric acid were used for fertigation. Potassium nitrate was the only source of potassium while nitrogen was found in both potassium and ammonium nitrate. Phosphoric acid served the twin purpose of phosphorous source as well as cleaning of lateral pipes of drip irrigation, whenever so required.

Authors: V. R Sethi  , S. K. Sharma
Published: May 2024

Experimental studies were conducted for thermal heating of an east-west, even span greenhouse using thermal energy of underground water. The system utilizes almost constant temperature of the underground water at around 24°C (year round) available on the surface in every agricultural field through deep tube well for sensible heating in winter conditions. Cool air from greenhouse and hot underground water are passed through a counter flow heat exchanger system designed around the perimeter of the greenhouse for providing the thermal comfort to the greenhouse. Experimental performance of the system is tested during the winter months of year 2004. Results show that the greenhouse air temperature is maintained about 7_9°C above ambient in winter conditions besides decreasing the temperature fluctuations inside the greenhouse and lowering the relative humidity. As a result, the vegetative growth of capsicum was almost doubled and yield obtained was almost 2.6 times as compared to open field conditions.

Authors: N. Sahoo  , T.B. S. Rajput  , A. R. Rao
Published: May 2024

Most models available for computation of sediment yield of watersheds use inter-correlated geomorphologic parameters of the watershed which is against the principle of regression analysis. Principal components which are transformed but unrelated were derived from the set of correlated geomorphological parameters of watersheds. In this study eleven watersheds were selected. Out of which the data of term watersheds were utilized for the development of models and the data of one watershed were utilized for validation of the models. Twenty-two numbers of geomorphological parameters were quantified for each selected watershed. It was found that the geomorphological parameters are correlated among themselves. So these parameters were transformed into the scores of principal components to make them uncorrelated. Then multiple regression models between sediment production rate (SPR) and scores of principal components were developed using principal component regression in Statistical Analysis System (SAS) environment. The average absolute deviation of predicted SPR was found within 10.55% and 5.43% for different percent ranges of runoff and ranges of rainfall. Hence the developed model can be used for better prediction of SPR for other similar ungauged watershed.

Authors: Majumder Shakya , Thomas Jebu
Published: May 2024

Severe leptospirosis has got very high mortality. Leptospirosis is overlooked in the UK and the confounders for low recognition, is partly due to low rate of incidence in this region, its protean manifestations, access to appropriate diagnostic tests, a broad differential for febrile illness or the lack of clinician’s awareness. A delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to increased disease severity and mortality. In this case report, we present a 25-year-old gentleman who had pulmonary hemorrhage as the earliest sign of severe leptospirosis without severe renal or hepatic involvement, which is a rare occurrence by itself.

Authors: Gupta Veena , Bhargava Shivani , Jain Vibhuti
Published: May 2024

Introduction- Bronchial carcinoids are slow growing tumours that are usually asymptomatic until later stages and mimic most benign conditions clinically. Clinical diagnosis of carcinoid tumour of lung may be challenging because of its rare incidence and rare presentation with classical carcinoid syndrome. Bronchoscopy is the gold standard for early diagnosis followed by histopathology. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for patients with no evidence of systemic metastasis.
Material and Methods: A 28-year-old Indian male, non –smoker presented with complaint of pain in back, chest and cough with haemoptysis, first episode occurred in May 2023, post that he was normal. Second episode of cough and haemoptysis occurred in October 2023 which was not associated with any nausea or headache.
Results: Awareness can lead to early detection and avoid misdiagnosis. Bronchoscopy is the gold standard. Surgical resection is for early diagnosis followed by histopathology.

Authors: C. U. Osuagwu , I. Okenwe
Published: May 2024

The study is on simple regression models: a comparison using criteria measures. The source of the dataset used for this study was extracted from records of the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, Imo State, on weight of babies and hemoglobin level of mothers. The response variable is weight of babies while the explanatory variable is hemoglobin level of mothers. Eleven simple regression models—Linear, Growth, Quadratic, Polynomial, Logarithmic, Hyperbolic, Power, Exponential Growth, Square Root, Sinusoidal and Arctangent—were stated and employed for the study. For ease of data analysis, E-views package was implemented. Three model selection criteria measures for comparison, known as Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Schwarz Information Criterion (SIC) and Hannan-Quinn Information Criterion (HQIC), were employed. The result of the study showed that, when it comes to analyzing the association between baby weight and mothers' hemoglobin levels, the exponential growth regression model performs better than the other ten models that were examined. Therefore, researchers should investigate other models that were not included in this analysis and compare the findings using goodness of fit metrics other than the criteria measures used in this work.

A very unusual and interesting case of a 72-year-old Indian female with a background of chronic constipation since early infancy presented in emergency critical condition with acute perforative peritonitis and right lower quadrant fullness, guarding and tenderness. Laboratory studies showed high inflammatory markers and provisional diagnosis of walled off appendicular perforation was made. Radiographs and multi scanner computed tomography (MSCT) was found to have pneumoperitoneum secondary to the terminal ileal stricture with perforation. The patient underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy following initial resuscitation, resection and anastomosis of the ileal stricture, peritoneal toilet and extramucosal biopsies of rectosigmoid colon were performed. Histopathology confirmed isolated Crohn’s disease of terminal ileum with stricture and associated hypoganglionosis. Subsequent colonoscopy and biopsies showed no active Crohn’s disease but had nonspecific colitis of the left colon due to associated hypoganglionosis. The postoperative period was uneventful. The patient is doing well at follow up with conservative management of the hypoganglionosis with laxatives, dietary changes, life style modifications and dietary supplements.

Authors: Peper Erik , Oded Yuval , Harvey Richard
Published: May 2024

When threats are perceived, our thoughts and body respond almost immediately with defense reactions that may negatively affect us and others we know. Described are approaches that can interrupt negative stress responses and allow us to become calmer and less reactive by utilizing a set of somatic and breathing practices that assist in raising self-awareness as well as moderating the triggers and interrupting the cascades of stress reactions. Each of the specific practices can be introduced quickly, even in situations in which mental health first aid is indicated. For example, the practices introduce the S.O.S 1™ technique, an adapted Nyingma stress reduction exercise, and several breathing exercises, such as box breathing, sniff and sniff breathing, humming, and toning. The various practices are aimed at reducing or stopping over-reactive thoughts and body responses as well as increasing a sense of safety and control that allows you to think more clearly about difficult situations.

Published: May 2024

WHO於2015年發表高齡與健康報告，提出內在能力、生活功能等觀念，並定義健康高齡化為發展與維持生活功能以使高齡生活幸福的過程。透過強化健康照護服務、長期照顧系統、環境因子三面向來延緩內在能力喪失，並維持生活功能。2020年的報告書將生活功能從內在能力與環境中獨立，認為三者併列為健康高齡化的三大因子，提升生活功能則成為健康高齡化的中心思想。

本文介紹WHO提出最新的健康高齡化概念、評估方式及政策目標，並探討2015年及2020年報告書的差異。台灣的人口高齡化顯著，已成為重要健康議題，故台灣應在政策、社區及醫療系統實踐，透過系統性且全面性地介入，達成提升高齡者生活功能的目標。

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) published a report in 2015 on aging and health, proposing the concepts of intrinsic capacity and functional ability and defining healthy aging as the process of developing and maintaining life function for a happy life in old age. The report emphasized the importance of improving health care services, long-term care systems, and environmental conditions to delay the loss of intrinsic capacity and maintain life functions. In 2020, WHO updated its report on healthy aging with modified concepts, evaluation methods, and policy goals.

This article provides an overview of the latest concepts in healthy aging and discusses the differences between the 2015 and 2020 reports. The 2020 report defines the three major factors of healthy aging as intrinsic capacity, functional ability, and environmental factors, rather than separating them as in the 2015 report.

 Health aging is not just a concern for the elderly but a challenge that everyone must face. It is important for all people to have their human rights protected, including the right to make independent decisions and participate in society with adequate life functions. The government should also establish strategies and create a friendly environment for this purpose.

 Population aging Taiwan is and will remain a major health challenge. Not just the government but also communities and the healthcare system need to implement interventions systematically, comprehensively, and proactively with clear goals to improve the functional ability of the elderly population.

 
以創新的機器學習導向風險分數模型預測老年族群之 慢性腎臟病風險
Authors: 莊傑翔 莊傑翔 , 郭冠良 郭冠良
Published: May 2024

目的：本研究致力於運用新型機器學習技術，開發出能準確預測老年族群慢性腎臟病(chronic kidney disease, CKD)風險、同時擁有良好風險校準能力的CKD風險分級模型，以期能於臨床情境快速辨識出需加強照護管理的CKD高風險老年族群。

方法：本研究採用回溯性研究方法，分析台灣北部某教學醫院從2014年至2018年，3,469名受檢者的臨床相關數據，篩選出與CKD具較高關聯性的17個候選變量，運用Risk-Calibrated Supersparse Linear Integer Model（簡稱RiskSLIM）的機器學習技術，構建新型CKD風險分級模型。

結果：在3,469名受試者中，共有463名(13.3%)受試者符合Kidney Disease Outcomes and Quality Initiative（簡稱KDOQI）所定義的CKD標準。經實驗發現，在區分CKD與非 CKD受檢者的任務中，具有五項變量的RiskSLIM候選模型具有最佳的表現，命名為CHUME風險分數(Creatinine-Hypertension-bUn-Male-Exercise score, CHUME score)。與傳統模型相比，RiskSLIM模型具有更佳的風險校準能力（RiskSLIM模型的平均5-CV CAL為3.6% [95% CI 3.1%-4.1%]，對比Penalized logistic regression模型為4.7% [95% CI 4.3%-5.0%]）。若將CHUME風險分數的診斷閾值設定在總分大於等於1分時判斷為陽性，會有最佳的分類預測表現，AUC為0.912 [95% CI 0.896-0.927]；敏感度為83.8% [95% CI 80.4%-87.1%]；特異度為87.7% [95% CI 86.5%-88.8%]。

結論：CHUME風險分數是使用RiskSLIM機器學習技術構建出的CKD風險分級模型，易於使用，同時具有高敏感度及高特異度，能夠快速整合入現有的CKD臨床診療流程中，是一個適合用於社區老年族群的CKD 臨床篩檢工具。

 

Purpose: In response to the increasing need of CKD (chronic kidney disease) management, we developed a novel machine learning-based screening system to better assess CKD risk among community-dwelling older adults.

 Methods: Based on a retrospective research design, our study analyzed the clinical data of 3,469 senior citizens receiving health checkups during the five year from 2014 to 2018 to identify 17 candidate variables for inclusion in the CKD risk screening model, using the machine learning technique named Risk-Calibrated Supersparse Linear Integer Model (RiskSLIM).

 Results: Of the total 3,469 participants, 463 (13.3%) met the KDOQI-CKD criteria. A 5-item RiskSLIM model was found to be optimal in measuring the creatinine-hypertension-bUn-male-exercise (CHUME) score for distinguishing CKD from non-CKD cases. In contrast to the baseline Penalized logistic regression (PLR) model, the RiskSLIM model was simpler and superior in terms of accuracy in risk calibration (mean 5-CV CAL of 3.6% [95% CI 3.1%-4.1%] vs 4.7% [95% CI 4.3%-5.0%] for PLR). Operating characteristics for CHUME score with 95% CIs developed from bootstrapping from all participants were remarkable at the diagnostic threshold (score of 1-or-higher) with an estimated AUC of 0.912 [95%-CI 0.896-0.927], sensitivity of 83.8% [95%-CI 80.4%-87.1%], and specificity of 87.7% [95%-CI 86.5%-88.8%].

 Conclusion: The RiskLIM-based CKD screening system is easy to use, and the CHUME score measured is marked with high sensitivity and specificity. The simplicity, as well as the efficacy, of the screening system is conducive to easy integration into clinical workflow to help assess CKD risk. We accordingly conclude that it is a suitable CKD screening tool for community-dwelling elderly.

Next steps for the psychological workforce in NHS Scotland
Authors: Thomson Judy
Published: May 2024

Glasgow Kelvingrove Museum

In recent years very significant progress in expanding the Scottish NHS psychology and psychological therapies workforce has been achieved. This has been because of additional investment to increase training places in clinical psychology and the development of newer psychology roles, alongside upskilling the wider multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral workforce in psychological care. The influence and profile of psychology has never been higher. The rapid and flexible response of psychologists during the pandemic in adapting the delivery of clinical services and responding to the psychological needs of the workforce helped establish the profession as a valued partner in joint problem solving for service and policy leaders. The appointment of a Psychology Advisor to Scottish Government and the publication of the new Mental Health Strategy, along with the updated Matrix Guidance for the delivery of Psychological Therapies, and the revised Psychological Therapies access standard all show the growing influence of psychology. To build on this progress psychologists need to embrace their roles in clinical leadership but also in thinking about whole system design to improve access to evidence based psychological therapies and interventions for our population. This will include continuing to support the development of multidisciplinary approaches to the delivery of psychological practice, developing new and extended roles through involvement with training, supervision and governance. Ensuring effective collaboration with people with lived experience will be a key action along with continuing to develop the evidence base. Supporting the development of national data reporting systems including outcome measures will help drive further improvement.
Epithelioid hemangioma of the acromion causing shoulder pain: a case report
Authors: Jung Whanyong , Jung Suil , Sung Seung-Yong
Published: May 2024

Epithelioid hemangioma of bone is a rare benign vascular tumor. Because of the locally destructive clinical presentation and the presence of atypical histologic features with increased mitotic activity and necrosis, it is often misdiagnosed as low-grade malignant epithelioid hemangioendothelioma or high-grade malignant epithelioid angiosarcoma. Correct diagnosis through imaging studies and histopathological examination is mandatory to determine the appropriate course of treatment, as the prognosis differs from that of other malignant hemangioma tumors. A 69-year-old male who presented with intractable shoulder pain caused by epithelioid hemangioma in the acromion of the scapula was treated with tumor curettage. This paper reports a good result with a review of the relevant literature.
Surgical anatomical landmarks for arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tendon tears
Authors: Gabardo Santiago , Valencia-Mora María , Coifman Ismael , Calvo Emilio
Published: May 2024

Background: Subscapularis repair has recently garnered significant interest. A thorough understanding of the tendon’s anatomy is essential for precise and safe repair. Our objectives were to describe the anatomy of the subscapularis insertion, define its landmarks, and analyze nearby structures to guide arthroscopic repair.Methods: We conducted an anatomical study, dissecting 12 shoulders. We evaluated the distance from the footprint to the axillary nerve, the dimensions, and shape of the footprint, and its relationship with the humeral cartilage.Results: The distance to the axillary nerve was 32 mm (standard deviation [SD], 3.7 mm). The craniocaudal length of the footprint was 37.3 mm (SD, 4.6 mm). Its largest mediolateral thickness was 16 mm (SD, 2.2 mm), wider at the top and narrower distally. The distance between the footprint and the cartilage varied, being 3.2 mm (SD, 1.2 mm) in the upper part, 5.4 mm (SD, 1.8 mm) in the medium, and 15.9 mm (SD, 2.9 mm) in the lower part.Conclusions: When performing a repair of the subscapularis tendon, the distance to the cartilage should be carefully evaluated as it varies proximally to distally, and the shape of the footprint (wider proximally, tapered distally) should be considered for implant positioning. The distance to the axillary nerve is approximately 30 mm. Anterior visualization guarantees direct control of all landmarks and allows accurate implant positioning with safe tendon release.Level of evidence: IV.

ABSTRACT: In Europe's diverse societal landscape, the Islamic minority, or a significant portion thereof, seeks to navigate life under Sharia law, especially concerning family matters. Despite the fact that the application of Sharia law, where permitted, has demonstrated its ability to adapt to the legal context, as in the case of Islamic arbitration, in the case of family law, the perception of an irreducible contrast with the values of Western countries appears particularly strong producing an inevitable paradox in relation with freedom of religion that may be restricted by the legal system. The core paradox lies in the potential infringement on religious freedom if Muslims were asked to forsake religious tenets or practices that align with the foundational principles of the legal system. Modern legal frameworks are thus challenged to find methods to harmonize the identity assertions of Islamic communities with the safeguarding of individual rights within these communities. With no specific safeguards for religious minorities, this study scrutinizes jurisprudence on family law from selected European courts. The objective is to unearth effective legal tools that respect the Islamic community's minority religious identity while upholding the essential tenets of the legal system, fostering a balance between collective religious identity and individual rights protection in a multicultural Europe.

Exequatur procedure and divorce in the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court: the difficult balance between implementation of the concordat legislation and protection of the weaker spouse

ABSTRACT: The 1984 Agreement with the catholic church modified the rules for implementing canonical sentences of nullity of marriage in the Italian legal system, introducing several controls among wich the non-contradiction to Italian public order of such sentences has acquired increasing importance. In recent years, this requirement has been interpreted by the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court in a very restrictive manner in order to limit the recognition proceeding as much as possible, with the aim of avoiding the unfavorable economic consequences deriving from the nullity of the marriage for the spouse who would have been entitled to maintenance allowance in the event of divorce. The work focuses on the relationship between recognition of canonical nullity and divorce, analyzing the repeated interventions of the Court of Cassation to prevent that with the exequatur procedure the economic measures taken in the divorce judgment could be annulled. The protection of the weaker spouse was made even more complete by the recent ruling of the United Sections of the Supreme Court of 2021 that allowes the treatment of economic issues still pending, provided that the divorce decree between the parties was pronounced before the exequatur of the ecclesiastical sentence of marriage nullity.

Neoliberalism and the Mutations of Social Realism in Contemporary European Cinema
Authors: Trifonova Temenuga
Published: May 2024

Over the last couple of decades film scholars have begun building a critical vocabulary to theorize the new kinds of social relations depicted in the new European cinema of precarity, from “flexible solidarity” and “precarious intimacies” to “the gift economy” and “cruel optimism”. Although the European cinema of precarity continues the legacy of older film traditions like French poetic realism, Italian neorealism and British kitchen sink realism, thus inscribing itself within a well-established European tradition of social realism, the realism of precarity films is often refracted through specific genre tropes or filmic devices—e.g., allegory, experimental cinema techniques, black comedy, cinema verité cinematography etc.—as though social realism is no longer able to render visual the hidden pathologies of neoliberalism or to capture the complexity of Europe’s current political, economic, and moral crisis.
Decentering Nations: The Role of National Institutes for Culture in the Promotion and Circulation of European Cinema
Authors: Pellino Annalisa
Published: May 2024

When considering the circulation of European films across Europe within a post-national framework, an investigation on the role of national institutes for culture could offer a particular take on the “Europeanisation” (Carpentier 2021) process through cinema-related initiatives. If they were conceived to promote national heritage and values, they have found themselves in the ambivalent position of pursuing their main goal within a changing institutional and cultural context that requires more integrated approaches, since the beginning of the 1990s, namely after the end of the Cold War. Notably, since the creation of the European National Institutes for Culture network (hereafter EUNIC) in 2006, they have been asked to cooperate and to valorise the heterogeneity and multiplicity of European subjectivities and communities, according to the motto “unity in diversity” (Liz 2016; Bondebjerg, Novrup Redvall, and Higson 2014). In particular, this research concentrates on the circulation, among European and Italian institutes for culture, of films that deal with European issues, and has reflected on how they affect the construction of a transnational European identity by addressing sensitive topics.
Gli accordi Anica-Mpea e l’impiego dei capitali americani nel nostro cinema / Parte 2 – Dal finanziamento dei film al finanziamento dell’Anica
Authors: Di Chio Federico
Published: May 2024

The agreements between the industrial and trade organizations ANICA and MPAA/MPEA regulated Italian-American film relations between 1951 and 1962, promoting the growth of “Runaway productions” and joint productions in Italy, but also supporting the distribution of Italian films abroad by US companies. The article, based on extensive archival research, reconstructs for the first time the development and implementation of these agreements, also following the paths of American money in Italian cinema.
Ceci, orzo e mentuccia: gli organi sessuali nella commedia greca
Authors: Caciagli Stefano , De Sanctis Dino , Giovannelli Maddalena , Regali Mario
Published: May 2024

Dalle numerose metafore agricole per gli organi sessuali maschili e femminili che sono presenti in Aristofane emerge uno dei tratti che caratterizzano la commedia greca nella sua fase arcaica: la libera espressione dell’oscenità. Una peculiarità che isola il linguaggio della commedia ostacolandone non a caso la ricezione successiva che si dispiega dalla produzione letteraria successiva, all’erudizione tarda, alle traduzioni contemporanee. Attorno a un cospicuo numero di termini (ἀμοργίς, «tessuto di lino»; βάλανος, «ghianda»; ἐρέβινθος, «cece»; κριθή,«orzo», κόκκος, «chicco»; εὕστρα, «orzo abbrustolito»; μύρτον, «bacca di mirto»; ῥοδόν, «rosa»; βλήχων, «puleggio»; κῆπος, «giardino»; λόχμη, «boscaglia»; νάπος, «valle boscosa»; πεδίον, «pianura») Aristofane offre metafore sessuali che stentano a sopravvivere dopo l’Archaia. Significativo, in particolare, è il caso di ἐρέβινθος, «cece», per il fallo eretto che a partire da una presenza notevole nell’Archaia non produce invece una significativa risemantizzazione nella letteratura successiva. Allo stesso modo, l’erudizione antica denota difficoltà non lievi nel comprendere il linguaggio osceno della commedia: gli scolii non di rado immaginano metafore oscene dove esse non sono presenti e per converso mancano di notare evidenti allusioni. Non sono liberi dalle difficoltà degli antichi i traduttori moderni: in palese contrasto con l’acceso interesse per le dinamiche del linguaggio osceno che emerge dalla letteratura secondaria, le traduzioni italiane si rifugiano spesso nell’eufemismo o in una traduzione letterale che, dove manca una corrispondente risemantizzazione dell’elemento vegetale in italiano, depotenzia il turpiloquio comico.
Degradazione e desiderio: la maschera della Vecchia sulla scena greca
Authors: Caciagli Stefano , De Sanctis Dino , Regali Mario , Giovannelli Maddalena
Published: May 2024

Tra i molteplici modi nei quali il dramma antico declina la rappresentazione sulla scena della donna di età avanzata, dalla nutrice alla mezzana, alla popolana venditrice, alla saggia consigliera delle giovani eroine, l’ Archaia sceglie per la sua γραῦς un ruolo ben deli- neato: la vecchia in preda all’innaturale desiderio sessuale per il giovane . Quando la γραῦς diviene personaggio sulla scena di Aristofane, nelle Ecclesiazuse e nel Pluto, infatti, i tratti fisici che la contraddistinguono sono tutti rivolti a renderne manifesto il carattere decrepito, la saprotes. La rovina fisi a della γραῦς accende il gioco comico fondato sul contrasto tra l’ac- ceso desiderio sessuale della vecchia per il giovane e la repulsione che il suo aspetto suscita. L’i nnaturale desiderio della γραῦς diviene poi, pur con dinamiche diff renti tra Ecclesiazuse e Pluto, un’occasione privilegiata per mostrare gli effe ti comici che il progetto utopico, pro- mosso dai protagonisti, produce. Nelle Ecclesiazuse, le tre vecchie beneficiano del program- ma egualitario di Prassagora, mentre nel Pluto, la γραῦς, che grazie al suo denaro aveva un giovane al suo servizio d’amore, è vittima dello stratagemma di Cremilo: ora che Pluto ha recuperato la vista, il giovane non è più costretto dal bisogno economico a concedersi alla vecchia. Pur con scopi opposti, sia nelle Ecclesiazuse sia nel Pluto Aristofane quindi costrui- sce un personaggio al servizio del consueto rovesciamento comico della realtà: il desiderio di norma negato trova uno spazio libero sulla scena della commedia.

One of the most popular and legally recognized behavioral biometrics is the individual's signature, which is used for verification and identification in many different industries, including business, law, and finance. The purpose of the signature verification method is to distinguish genuine from forged signatures, a task complicated by cultural and personal variances. Analysis, comparison, and evaluation of handwriting features are performed in forensic handwriting analysis to establish whether or not the writing was produced by a known writer. In contrast to other languages, Arabic makes use of diacritics, ligatures, and overlaps that are unique to it. Due to the absence of dynamic information in the writing of Arabic signatures, it will be more difficult to attain greater verification accuracy. On the other hand, the characteristics of Arabic signatures are not very clear and are subject to a great deal of variation (features’ uncertainty). To address this issue, the suggested work offers a novel method of verifying offline Arabic signatures that employs two layers of verification, as opposed to the one level employed by prior attempts or the many classifiers based on statistical learning theory. A static set of signature features is used for layer one verification. The output of a neutrosophic logic module is used for layer two verification, with the accuracy depending on the signature characteristics used in the training dataset and on three membership functions that are unique to each signer based on the degree of truthiness, indeterminacy, and falsity of the signature features. The three memberships of the neutrosophic set are more expressive for decision-making than those of the fuzzy sets. The purpose of the developed model is to account for several kinds of uncertainty in describing Arabic signatures, including ambiguity, inconsistency, redundancy, and incompleteness. The experimental results show that the verification system works as intended and can successfully reduce the FAR and FRR.
