A FUZZY METHOD FOR INCREASING THE CONTRAST OF LOW-QUALITY CARTOGRAPHIC IMAGES
Authors: Gromov Yuriy , Shamsuldain Haidar Abdulwahhab , Maksimova Elena , Karasev Pavel
Published: July 2024

In this study, we have developed a new image enhancement method that uses fuzzy logic. This method allows us to split pixel values into different levels of importance, which helps to compensate for the loss of local brightness in dark and bright areas of an image. The goal is to increase the overall brightness of the image while preserving details.
The process involves three stages. Firstly, the satellite image is transformed into a membership space using the c-means clustering algorithm. This creates a model that can be used to convert each pixel value into a level of importance. Secondly, a corresponding model is created for each level of importance based on the membership data. Finally, the image is transformed back into a standard brightness space by combining the grayscale values for each level.
Our results show that this method improves the visual quality and accuracy of measurements when compared to traditional methods.

Published: July 2024

A pandemia de COVID-19 impactou significativamente a população mundial. Devido à alta mortalidade causada pela doença, foram instituídas medidas de controle de disseminação do vírus, como uso de máscaras, distanciamento social e vacinação, que restringiram as interações sociais e afetaram negativamente a população como um todo, com destaque à população idosa, intensificando os sentimentos de solidão e apatia. Nesse contexto, as tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) emergiram como ferramentas vitais para manter a conexão social e o bem-estar cognitivo dos idosos. O presente estudo analisa o perfil, impactos e dificuldades vivenciadas por idosos quanto ao uso e adoção das TICs, a fim de identificar possíveis cenários de atuação para promover maior inclusão digital desta população. A pesquisa, aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da UFTM, foi um estudo transversal envolvendo 61 idosos com média de 73 anos, acompanhados por profissionais da área de Geriatria do HC/UFTM. Foram aplicados três questionários estruturados para analisar o perfil sociodemográfico e de saúde dessa população, o uso de tecnologias e as dificuldades encontradas. A partir dos dados levantados, os idosos foram divididos em dois grupos: Grupo 1 (G1), com pouco ou nenhum acesso às tecnologias, e Grupo 2 (G2), com amplo acesso às tecnologias. Os resultados mostraram que G2 (52,46%) percebia as tecnologias como úteis e dispunha de maior facilidade de acesso e uso, enquanto G1 (47,54%) enfrentava maiores dificuldades e considerava as tecnologias menos úteis. A maioria dos participantes de G2 relatou emoções positivas associadas ao uso de tecnologias, como aumento da autonomia e da autoestima. Além disso, durante a pandemia, o G2 utilizou mais as tecnologias para atividades como comunicação e lazer, percebendo benefícios como a expansão de redes de amizade. Em contraste, G1 não percebeu os mesmos benefícios e conservou baixo interesse em aprender novas ferramentas. A análise revelou que a inclusão digital dos idosos enfrenta desafios como limitações cognitivas e motoras decorrentes do envelhecimento, além de barreiras socioeconômicas e culturais. O estudo pioneiro na região do Triângulo Sul de Minas Gerais aponta para a importância de métodos de ensino adaptados para atender às demandas dos idosos, promovendo um envelhecimento saudável e uma maior integração social.

Authors: Hunter Zanna , Mangion Lisa , Noell Louise
Published: July 2024

The multiliteracies framework provides a pedagogical approach relevant to English language direct entry pathway (DEP) programs at university, recognising that education and communication in a multicultural, multimodal, and globalised world involves more than language literacy. Integrated assessments, in which some combination of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are included and assessed, offer an appropriate form of assessment for this pedagogical context, but limited research explicitly connects the specific challenges and affordances of integrated assessments for assessing multiple literacies. The aim of this project was to consider how multiple literacies could be assessed through integrated assessment by conducting a review of the literature and applying this research to the collaborative development of an integrated listening-into-speaking task and rubric for use in our DEP programs. The proposed task and an approach to collaborative rubric development for integrated tasks is outlined.
Interweaving employability skills in ESL/EFL university direct entry integrated assessment tasks: A systematic review
Authors: Windsor Angela , Hancock Zoe
Published: July 2024

Integrated assessments are often used to measure English language readiness for university. As language assessment contexts are impacted by variables beyond the classroom, and technologised learners are increasingly striving to achieve “differentiated learning goals” (Peng et al., 2020, p. 88), the challenge is to design assessments that are more “person-centred” (Bensen, 2019, p. 60). One response is to interweave employability soft skills in English for academic purposes (EAP) direct entry program (DEP) integrated assessment. We conducted a systematic review of integrated assessment and soft skills assessment scholarship to inform integrated assessment design for supporting soft skills development in Australian university DEPs. The findings suggest that adopting a person-centred approach to the design and research of integrated assessments may more comprehensively support students’ students’ adaptive communication capacities for 21st century ambitions.

Authors: Noor Azhar Amirul Syafiq , Husin Hazlina
Published: July 2024

Wax deposition in pipelines and wells is one of the problems in the oil and gas industry. Wax deposition can lead to pipeline blockages, reduced flow capacity, and even production facility or pipeline closures. Various methods and techniques have been developed to mitigate wax deposition, including chemical, mechanical, and thermal methods. Inhibition of wax deposition using chemical methods involves using chemical additives to prevent or reduce wax buildup on pipelines or wellbores. Chemical methods for mitigating wax deposition can include using plant-based inhibitors as effective additives. Biosurfactants, which are surfactants derived from plant-based sources, can be used in chemical methods to address wax deposition issues effectively. Jatropha seeds are rich sources of natural chemicals that can be used to effectively control wax because of the wide variety of natural chemical compounds they contain. This paper aims to provide an overview of the potential of jatropha oil as a wax inhibitor.Keywords: crude oil, flow assurance, plant-based inhibitor, temperature, wax deposition, wax appearance, wax inhibitors

Published: July 2024

To maintain the integrity and safety of the pipeline, different chemicals are used as corrosion inhibitors in the flow-assurance industry. Ionic liquids (ILs) are a promising new class of corrosion inhibitors for pipelines in the oil and gas industry due to their negligible vapour pressure, high thermal stability, and ability to be tailored for specific applications. This research investigated the effectiveness of tetraethylammonium iodide (TEAI) as a corrosion inhibitor at 0.01, 1 and 5 wt% concentrations. TEAI showed a decrease in corrosion rate with increasing concentration, with the lowest rate of 0.59 mm/year at 5 wt% concentration. TEAI+MEG mixtures also showed the lowest corrosion rate of 0.6 mm/year at 5 wt% concentration. The work is new, and these results suggest that ILs have the potential to be used as effective corrosion inhibitors in flow assurance applications. It provides an avenue for further exploration of ionic liquids as corrosion inhibitors.Keywords: Corrosion inhibition, flow assurance, ionic liquids, mild steel, surface coverage, TEAI

Electrochemical Performance of Supercapacitor Using Plasticised Corn Starch Polymer Electrolyte Incorporated with Lithium Iodide
Authors: Abd. Shukur Muhammad Fadhlullah
Published: July 2024

An electrical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) is a supercapacitor type that offers higher energy density and capacitance than an electrolytic capacitor. EDLC bridges the energy or power gap between the batteries, fuel cells, and dielectric capacitors. Most EDLCs are fabricated using electrolytic solutions, many of which are highly corrosive, leading to heavy, bulky, and leaky devices. This research assembled an EDLC employing a plasticised solid polymer electrolyte based on lithium iodide (LiI) doped corn starch. Glycerol was used as the plasticiser. The fabricated EDLC was characterised using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) techniques. The specific capacitance obtained from EIS was 1.74 F g–1. By analysing the Nyquist plot obtained from EIS, charge transfer resistance (Rct) and equivalent series resistance (ESR) were determined. CV of the EDLC was carried out at various sweep rates. The highest specific capacitance of 4.66 F g–1 was obtained at a 50 mV s–1 sweep rate. The EDLC was charged and discharged ten times at 1 mA constant current. From GCD, the specific capacitance was found to be in the 4.36 – 5.57 F g-1 range. From these results, starch-LiI-glycerol showed potential as a candidate for electrolyte material for energy device applications.Keywords: Electrolyte, electrical double-layer capacitor, glycerol, lithium iodide, solid polymer, starch, specific capacitance
DETECTION OF ABERRANT OBSERVATIONS AND MODELLING OF CONSUMER PRICE INDEX AND INFLATION RATE IN NIGERIA FROM 1960 - 2014: THE WAVELET APPROACH
Authors: T Efuwape, B. , O Aideyan, D. , O Efuwape, T. , O Solanke, O.
Published: July 2024

Aberrant observations (AO) are data usually inconsistent with the rest of the series and have the tendency to render statistical inference invalid. The spectral method is widely used for detecting AOs but this is restricted to when series is stationary and periodic. Wavelet shrinkage is a mutually exclusive choice to the spectral method which shrinks the size of the series into multi-resolutions without losing the properties of the series. In this research paper, we present aberrant observation detection and modelling approach based on wavelet analysis in the detection of aberrant observations and modelling using Gaussian and Non-Gaussian distributions in the frequency domain with promising results, on inflation rate in Nigeria between 1960 to 2014. In the method of detecting AO, the inflation rate was highest in 1995 followed by 1993, 1994, 1988, 1989 and 1992. These inflation rates were all observed during the military era. Normal distribution has highest values in all the resolutions from the Loglikelihood calculated, hence, it is the best of the three for detecting AO from the data. Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) confirms that at higher resolutions, Cauchy distribution has lowest AIC which confirms it as the best method of modelling data at such resolutions.

The digital age has revolutionized communication and information access, but it has also brought significant challenges to the fundamental right to privacy. In Indonesia, the legal framework struggles to keep pace with technological advancements, raising concerns about the erosion of privacy protections. This study examines the constitutional challenges and practical implications of digital privacy erosion in Indonesia. This study employs a mixed-methods approach. First, a comprehensive review of Indonesian constitutional law, privacy legislation, and relevant court decisions is conducted. Second, observational data is collected through a survey of Indonesian internet users (n = 500) to assess their privacy awareness, experiences with data breaches, and perceptions of legal protections. Data analysis involves both qualitative legal interpretation and quantitative statistical analysis. The study reveals a significant gap between constitutional guarantees of privacy and the reality of data collection and surveillance practices in Indonesia. Observational data highlights widespread concerns among Indonesian internet users about privacy violations, with a majority experiencing data breaches and feeling inadequately protected by existing laws. Legal analysis indicates that existing legislation is often vague, outdated, and fails to address the unique challenges posed by digital technologies. In conclusion, this study underscores the urgent need for comprehensive legal reforms in Indonesia to protect digital privacy. Constitutional challenges must be addressed through clear and enforceable legislation that aligns with international standards. Additionally, public awareness campaigns and educational initiatives are crucial to empower individuals to protect their personal information in the digital age.

Diantaranya penetapan pelaksanaan zakat profesi, ijtihad tersebut dilakukan oleh ulama di era kontemporer karena melihat potensi zakat dalam mengurangi angka kemiskinan. Salah satu ulama yang berperan penting dalam perkembagan pemikiran zakat profesi ialah Yusuf Qardhawi. Dalam fatwa-fatwanya, dia memberi pandangan bahwa profesi yang memiliki pendapatan sesuai dengan nishab zakat bisa membantu mengurangi kemiskinan. Penelitian ini berupaya menganalisis bagaimana penafsiran ayat-ayat dalam fatwanya yang berkaitan dengan zakat profesi. Metode library research atau metode dengan pengumpulan data dengan cara memahami dan mempelajari teori-teori dari berbagai literatur yang berhubungan dengan penelitian akan diterapkan dalam penulisan artikel ini. Dalam penafsiran terkait topik tersebut, Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi  mengutip ayat-ayat yang bersifat umum, kemudian menggunakan Hadits atau Qiyas dalam menentukan suatu hukum dalam ijtihadnya. Kesimpulan yang didapatnya ialah penghasilan atau profesi wajib dikeluarkan zakatnya pada saat diterima, jika sampai pada nishab setelah dikurangi hutang dan kebutuhan pokok.  
Abstract
Reviewing the maqashid shariah, zakat is an Islamic sharia that aims to alleviate and lessen poverty in society. The principles and commandments, together with certain examples of their practices, are explained in the Qur'an and the Hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). But as time went on, new opportunities and issues surfaced, and scholars became determined to implement changes in the way zakat was carried out. Among these, the academics of the medieval era established and carried out the ijtihad (the profession's zakat execution) because they recognized zakat's capacity to lower the rate of poverty. Yusuf Al-Al-Qaradhawi  was one of the academics who significantly contributed to the evolution of the profession's zakat philosophy. In his fatwa, he expresses the opinion that poverty might be lessened by a career that pays according to zakat. This study looks at the relationship between professional talents and how the verses in the fatwa are interpreted. In order to gather data for this piece, the library research method—which involves comprehending and analyzing theories from a variety of research-related literature—will be used. Yusuf Al-Al-Qaradhawi  cited broad signs in his interpretation of the topic, and he used the Hadith or Qiyas to determine a law in his ijtihad. As a result, if an income or profession reaches the nishab after debt reduction and meeting basic needs, it becomes mandatory to pay zakat at the time of receipt.

Cancer is a non-communicable disease characterized by the presence of abnormal cells/tissues that are malignant, grow quickly and uncontrollably and can spread to other places in the patient's body. Cancer cells are malignant and can invade and damage the function of the tissue. Digestive cancer, also called gastrointestinal cancer, attacks the organs of the digestive system. Digestive cancer also includes gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Risk factors for digestive cancers are varied because many different organs can be affected. Some factors that contribute to cancer throughout the digestive system include age, heavy drinking (alcohol), smoking, and diabetes sufferers. This type of liver cancer is cancer that grows in liver cells. Liver cancer is a type of cancer that ranks second as the cancer that causes the most deaths in the world. Gastric cancer is a group of malignant diseases that have multifactorial causes, namely genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors. The symptoms caused by stomach cancer are initially not as typical as the symptoms of general digestive complaints. The diagnosis of colorectal cancer can be carried out in stages, including through an appropriate history, physical examination, and supporting examinations in the form of laboratory examinations, both from clinical laboratories and anatomical pathology laboratories. The etiology of colorectal cancer is currently still unknown. Symptoms of colorectal cancer are varied and non-specific. The main complaints of patients with colorectal cancer relate to the size and location of the tumor. Tumors in the right colon, where the contents of the colon are fluid, tend to remain hidden until they are very advanced.
