Published: January 2022

The notions of hybrid ideals and k-hybrid ideals in a ternary semiring are introduced in this paper, and a substantial amount of effort has been made to study some of their features. In terms of characteristic function, we show some properties of k-hybrid ideals and give some characterizations of hybrid intersection with respect to these k-hybrid ideals. Finally, results based on a k-hybrid ideal’s homomorphic hybrid preimage are provided. With respect to k-hybrid ideals, we give certain characterizations of hybrid intersection.
Modified teaching-learning-based optimization algorithm for multi-objective optimization problems
Authors: Wang Zhi , Song Shufang , Wei Hongkui
Published: January 2022

When solving multi-objective optimization problems, an important issue is how to promote convergence and distribution of solution set simultaneously. To address the above issue, a novel optimization algorithm, named as multi-objective modified teaching-learning-based optimization (MOMTLBO), is proposed. Firstly, a grouping teaching strategy based on pareto dominance relationship is proposed to strengthen the convergence efficiency. Afterward, a diversified learning strategy is presented to enhance the distribution. Meanwhile, differential operations are incorporated to the proposed algorithm. By the above process, the search ability of the algorithm can be encouraged. Additionally, a set of well-known benchmark test functions including ten complex problems proposed for CEC2009 is used to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that MOMTLBO exhibits competitive performance against other comparison algorithms. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the aerodynamic optimization of airfoils.
A survey on visual transfer learning using knowledge graphs
Authors: Monka Sebastian , Halilaj Lavdim , Rettinger Achim
Published: January 2022

The information perceived via visual observations of real-world phenomena is unstructured and complex. Computer vision (CV) is the field of research that attempts to make use of that information. Recent approaches of CV utilize deep learning (DL) methods as they perform quite well if training and testing domains follow the same underlying data distribution. However, it has been shown that minor variations in the images that occur when these methods are used in the real world can lead to unpredictable and catastrophic errors. Transfer learning is the area of machine learning that tries to prevent these errors. Especially, approaches that augment image data using auxiliary knowledge encoded in language embeddings or knowledge graphs (KGs) have achieved promising results in recent years. This survey focuses on visual transfer learning approaches using KGs, as we believe that KGs are well suited to store and represent any kind of auxiliary knowledge. KGs can represent auxiliary knowledge either in an underlying graph-structured schema or in a vector-based knowledge graph embedding. Intending to enable the reader to solve visual transfer learning problems with the help of specific KG-DL configurations we start with a description of relevant modeling structures of a KG of various expressions, such as directed labeled graphs, hypergraphs, and hyper-relational graphs. We explain the notion of feature extractor, while specifically referring to visual and semantic features. We provide a broad overview of knowledge graph embedding methods and describe several joint training objectives suitable to combine them with high dimensional visual embeddings. The main section introduces four different categories on how a KG can be combined with a DL pipeline: 1) Knowledge Graph as a Reviewer; 2) Knowledge Graph as a Trainee; 3) Knowledge Graph as a Trainer; and 4) Knowledge Graph as a Peer. To help researchers find meaningful evaluation benchmarks, we provide an overview of generic KGs and a set of image processing datasets and benchmarks that include various types of auxiliary knowledge. Last, we summarize related surveys and give an outlook about challenges and open issues for future research.
Artificial neural networks for voice activity detection Technology
Authors: Takialddin Al smadi , Handam Ahmed
Published: January 2022

Currently, the direction of voice biometrics is actively developing, which includes two related tasks of recognizing the speaker by voice: the verification task, which consists in determining the speaker's personality, and the identification task, which is responsible for checking the belonging of the phonogram to a particular speaker. An open question remains related to improving the quality of the verification identification algorithms in real conditions and reducing the probability of error.
In this work study Voice activity detection algorithm is proposed, which is a modification of the algorithm based on pitch statistics; VAD is investigated as a component of a speaker recognition system by voice, and therefore the main purpose of its work is to improve the quality of the system as a whole. On the example of the proposed modification of the VAD algorithm and the energy-based VAD algorithm, the analysis of the influence of the choice on the quality of the speaker recognition system is carried out.

The pragmatics and semantics of speech acts of greeting, farewell, gratitude, forgiveness, wishes, requests, expressions of politeness and congratulations are presented in the form of a mental map (intellectual map or mind map) and described in the article. This map is considered to be a type of concept map or spider diagram. A similar idea of information visualization was found in antiquity, although its usage in educational processes was fi rst recorded in the 1970s as the «idea of the sun’s explosion», as well as Tony Busen’s «radial tree» or «intellectual map» (1974). It was at that time that the idea that such a refl ection of the material increases the effectiveness of learning up to 15% was suggested.

The main components of the system for teaching Belarusian as a foreign language are characterized as methodological (approaches to learning), target (level goals and objectives of learning), content (subject and procedural content of learning), procedural (principles, methods and techniques, technologies, organizational forms, teaching aids), diagnostic (control and measuring materials). These components act both as independent categories and as interconnected and interdependent elements of the methodological system, characterized by its integrity and, at the same time, the independence of its individual components.
Clinico-biochemical relation of Vitamin D3 with the severity of atopic dermatitis and response to supplementation of Vitamin D3: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Modi Narayan Prasad , Dash Arun Kumar
Published: January 2022

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is one of the most common skin disorders among children and adults, with a steep rise in diagnoses among children. Many studies have investigated the relationship between Vitamin D3 (Vit D3) and AD. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted among 60 children at SCB Medical College, Cuttack from August 2014 to November 2016. Children were randomly assigned to an intervention group that received 60,000 IU of Vit. D3 every week for 6 weeks in addition to regular treatment for AD and a control group that received same treatment of AD except for Vit. D3. Both the groups were followed up at 4 weeks and 8 weeks. Results: In 60 cases of moderate to severe AD, 70% of the patients were male. About 81.7% of patients were from urban areas and 56.7% belonged to a middle socioeconomic class. In 76.6% of cases, family history of atopy was present. At baseline, mean SCORAD was 47.8±7.5 in the intervention group, and 49.2±10.3 in the control group. At baseline, serum Vitamin. D3 level (ng/ml) was 17.6±1.8 in intervention and 17.3±3.5 in control group. After Vitamin. D3 supplementation, the SCORAD improved to 12.8±5.1 (75% reduction) at 4 weeks, and 3.6±2.1 (92% reduction) at 8 weeks in the intervention group. In the control group, the mean SCORAD was 18.8±9.1 (61% reduction) at 4 weeks, and 7.3±4 (85% reduction) at 8 weeks. Discussion: The improvement of serum 25-hydroxy Vit. D3 was 134% and 366% in the intervention group compared to 78% and 121% in the observation group after 4 weeks and 8 weeks respectively. The p-values at both the time points were significant (<0.05) for the intervention group as compared to the control group. Conclusion: Short-term therapeutic supplementation of Vitamin. D3 in children with moderate to severe AD improves the clinical score. There is an inverse relationship between serum Vitamin. D3 level and severity of AD.

Authors: Sreenivasan Sanjeev Ariyandath , Vaishya Sandeep , Patir Rana
Published: January 2022

Isolated primary tuberculous involvement of the brachial plexus has not been reported in the past. Here, we report the case of a 29-year-old male who developed neck pain and radiculopathy for 3 months. Weakness in the left shoulder-elbow (2/5 MRC grade) and wrist (4/5 MRC grade) was present with numbness to pain and temperature along the C4–C5 dermatome. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a T2 hyperintense heterogeneously contrast-enhancing lesion involving the upper trunk of the brachial plexus. Under suspicion of malignancy, surgical exploration was undertaken. Intraoperatively, pus was noticed with unhealthy granulation tissue extending along the left-sided C4–5 lamina and transverse process. The frozen section suggested granulomatous infection and histopathology confirmed tuberculosis (TB). After 18 months of antituberculous treatment, the patient gradually recovered complete strength in the left upper limb. Follow-up brachial plexus MRI showed near-complete resolution of the lesion. We describe a unique case of a young patient clinically suggestive of the rapid progressive lesion (mimicking malignancy) affecting brachial plexus, turning out as TB on histopathology.

Authors: Monis Mohd , Koppal Divyashree , Ibbrahim Aiman , Nahid Zeeshan
Published: January 2022

Gastrointestinal liposarcomas are extremely rare with the most common reported morphological subtype being dedifferentiated liposarcoma and well-differentiated liposarcoma. These tumors are rarely diagnosed preoperatively and diagnosis is only confirmed on histopathological analysis. Treatment of gastrointestinal liposarcomas consists of surgical excision with widely negative margins followed by post-operative irradiation and close follow-up. We report an exceedingly rare case of myxoid liposarcoma of the small bowel (ileum) presenting with an unusual presentation with intussusception and intestinal obstruction. A 42-year-old male presented to the emergency department with features of intestinal obstruction. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen revealed ileo-ileal intussusception with an endoluminal soft-tissue lesion at the leading edge. The patient was taken for surgical intervention and the involved segment of the bowel along with the lesion was resected and re-anastomosis done. Histological sections of the mass along with immunohistochemistry suggested the pathological diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma.
Ruptured mediastinal pseudocyst with pancreaticopleural fistula formation in a 15-year-old boy presenting with white-out hemithorax: A case report
Authors: Monis Mohd , Saba Md Khalaf , Qaseem Syed M Danish , Arshad Nadeem
Published: January 2022

Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is a rare complication of chronic pancreatitis described more commonly in adults with alcoholic and necrotizing pancreatitis. We report a rare case of ruptured mediastinal pseudocyst with the formation of PPF in a 15-year-old boy who presented with progressive dyspnea and large left-sided pleural effusion that recurred despite repeated drainage. On the basis of imaging findings and pleural fluid analysis, the diagnosis of PPF with ruptured mediastinal pseudocyst was made. The diagnosis of PPF should be considered in patients with non-resolving large left-sided pleural effusions. The diagnosis can be confirmed either by significantly raised amylase levels in pleural fluid or direct visualization of the fistula on Computed tomography/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.

Authors: Tippani Avinassh , Brahmani Bachu
Published: January 2022

Fat necrosis is a benign inflammatory process that can involve adipose tissue that most frequently affects peri-menopausal women. It can mimic breast cancer clinically or radiologically. The incidence of breast fat necrosis overall is roughly 0.6%, representing 2.75% of all benign lesions. Fat necrosis presents in 0.8% of breast tumors and 1–9% of breast reduction surgery cases. Most at risk are middle-aged women, with an average age of 50 years, and women with pendulous breasts. Traumatic Fat Necrosis is an important differential diagnosis to be kept in mind in Carcinoma Breast patients who are treated with surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy. We present a case where radiation is followed by a large non-healing ulcer in a known case of breast carcinoma patient.

Drug-induced vasculitis can be defined as inflammation of blood vessels triggered by a spectrum of drugs. It presents not only with a localized skin rash but also may involve the internal organ systems, including the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, lungs, central nervous system, and joints. Here, we report the case of a 60-year-old woman who developed purpuric pruritic rashes on bilateral lower limbs and buttocks after the ingestion of sulphasalazine. The patient took the prescribed regimen for 14 days while experiencing an adverse drug reaction. At the follow-up visit, the patient was admitted and treated with methylprednisolone monotherapy with 32 mg/day for the first 3 days and after that, methylprednisolone 16 mg for the next 3 days. The rashes resolved after 6 days. Clinicians should ascertain the patient knowledge of how and when to obtain urgent care as the patient may experience ill effects after taking prescribed treatment. Timely advice may save patients’ costs of admission and treatment to manage adverse events.

The Covid-19 Pandemic was indicated in March 2020, which has changed people's daily activities patterns. Implementing the restricting regulation imposed by the government made some of the people's daily activities diverted to an online system. As a result, community mobility has decreased, especially on private car usage. However, there is a shift in vehicle usage which many people are starting to switch their mode to the private car in daily travel. This condition was predicted would continue even after the Pandemic ends. The increase in private car usage will worsen the congestion than before the Covid-19 Pandemic appropriate steps and handling are needed to prevent the increase in congestion. One of them is by knowing the characteristics and journeys of private car users during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This research is a typology of private car users during the Covid-19 Pandemic to identify the similarities and differences in the characteristics possessed by each private car user through the typological groups formed. Through this research, it can be seen the movement patterns and characteristics of the people who use private cars. This study uses the Hierarchical Cluster Analysis method. The analysis is based on several variables such as private car usage frequency variables, socioeconomic characteristics variables, demographic variables, household variables, and household travel patterns object of this research is 107 households which are owners and use of private cars for further analysis and form clusters of private car users that have the same characteristics of each cluster. The typology of private car users is compiled based on the unique characteristics possessed by each cluster that is formed. The results of this study are 8 typologies of private car users, which are divided from intensive users to irregular users. Typology 1 has the largest number of respondents and dominates the frequency of trips by private car users. The benefit of this research for the government is as input in the formulation of policies to regulate the use of private cars so that the policies taken by the government can be right on target

Published: January 2022

En el campo del conocimiento acerca de la permanencia escolar son limitados los estudios que abordan las estrategias de afrontamiento al fracaso escolar. Las investigaciones sobre este objeto siguen una lógica cuantitativa que limita el conocimiento de conductas específicas que pone en práctica el alumnado en un contexto determinado. El presente artículo se deriva de un estudio cuyo objetivo fue analizar el contenido de la representación social que tiene sobre el afrontamiento al fracaso escolar el estudiantado de tercer grado de CECyTE, Baja California. A partir de un enfoque cualitativo, se desarrollaron grupos focales y entrevistas con estudiantes de bachillerato. Los resultados muestran que la transición de educación presencial al aprendizaje en línea ha producido un aumento en la dificultad de adaptación a nivel psicológico y comportamental en el estudiantado. Producto de este contexto, los participantes de este estudio pusieron en práctica dos estilos de afrontamiento. Por una parte, el afrontamiento adaptativo centrado en la resolución del problema, a partir de la participación de compañeros/amigos, el cual les garantizó adaptación y ajuste psicológico necesario para hacer frente al fracaso. Por otra parte, el afrontamiento centrado en las emociones a partir de la participación de miembros de la familia.
The Situation of Women of a Refugee and Immigrant Background in the Netherlands
Authors: Gul-Rechlewicz Violetta
Published: January 2022

The problem of discrimination and unequal treatment of women from culturally diverse backgrounds affects countries such as the Netherlands. The centuries of tolerance and openness to an “alien” seem to be ending. This is evidenced by numerous reports and scientifi c studies, statements from specialists, and experts on the issues of immigrant integration. Increasingly, feeling marginalised and deprived of development opportunities, immigrant or refugee women come to the fore. Some of them (those remaining in isolation) are represented by aid organisations, i.e. foundations, associations, volunteer groups, and the municipalities themselves. This article covers the existing issue of the increasing number of refugees and immigrants in the Netherlands, especially refugee and immigrant
women towards whom, according to specialists, integration policy should be redefi ned.

Authors: Kosikova N. V. , Bunin M. S.
Published: January 2022

The findings of monitoring of repertoire of and demand for library and information services (document, reference, bibliographic awareness, cultural and educational services) are discussed. The mentioned services are available through the CSAL website. The types and forms of services are analyzed, their place and demand for them are discussed. The focus is made on the online services providing access of in-house information resources, e. g. e-libraries, e-catalogs, virtual exhibitions, etc. The terminological analysis of services titles as compared to the new national standard of library information services was executed. It was revealed that the services titles meet the standardized terms and definitions. The degrees of demand for difference services are estimated as active, fluctuating and decreasing. To improve library and bibliographic services and information support of science for agro-industrial complex, the authors recommend: to study products and services of unstable and decreasing demand, to load explicit list of services in the Information Services section, to design scientist personal accounts, to make it possible for the users to take part in selecting documents for digitization and to receive e-newsletter on new library acquisitions, etc. The authors conclude that CSAL provide the wide range of library information services which is essential to increase accessibility and friendliness of Library-generated information products, to improve information support of research in agricultural industries. The findings will be used in planning user library and information services. It is imperative that user services are monitored and user demands are analyzed.

The author discusses the modern research tools in various domains of science and industry based on integrated assessment of scientometric indicators and patent analysis. Excerpts of microbiological research papers published in Russia and worldwide are included. The data on researchers’ inventive work and publication activities are cited. The possibility for using patent landscapes in assessing research and industrial domains is examined. The author argues that building patent landscapes is a quality tool to identify the most promising vectors of development. He demonstrates that the most research and development activities are concentrated in the countries with the largest numbers of patent applications. In Russia, the government-funded organizations make the key driving force in the scientific studies and technologies in the national microbiology. In analyzing vast data volumes, patent landscapes enable to improve the quality of analysis visualization and get reliable data on the subject of research owing to multidimensional analytical representations. The author insists that building patent landscape services might become one of science libraries’ key functions.
Intellectual (Neo-) Imperialism: The Examples of “Islam[ism(s)]” and “Jihad[ism(s)]”
Authors: Carimo Mohomed
Published: January 2022

In any scientific endeavour, or considered as such, methodology and epistemology are paramount, not to mention ontology: what is the nature of the reality that we are studying? What is the nature of the knowledge that is being produced and its rationality? What are the methods applied to the field of study? However, when it to comes to “Islam”, the “Middle East”, or the “Orient”, the starting points are assumptions and truisms, particularly in “scientific” fields such as Political Science or International Relations, especially when the subject is the relation between politics and religion. In the last few decades, Islam has become a central point of reference for a wide range of political activities, arguments and opposition movements. The term “political Islam”, or “Islamism”, has been adopted by many scholars in order to identify this seemingly unprecedented irruption of Islamic religion into the secular domain of politics and thus to distinguish these practices from the forms of personal piety, belief, and ritual conventionally subsumed in Western scholarship under the unmarked category “Islam”. There have been tremendous, innumerable websites, voluminous publications and many projects on “Islamism(s)” and “Post-Islamism(s)”, the idea that political Islam had failed. However, when reality did not confirm that prediction, a new term was coined: “neo-Islamism”. This paper aims to explore the thesis that, as in other fields, these labels are nothing more than an attempt by Area Studies within Western academia to mould reality according to preconceived ideas and according to policy-oriented circles and funded by governmental organizations, and that, when dealing with “Islam” and “politics”, we are urgently in need of a different epistemology.
Effective and Efficient Implementation of OBE Framework within Constrained Pakistani Environment to Attain Desired Learning Outcomes
Authors: Mirza Ashab , Javed Saba
Published: January 2022

Outcome-based-education (OBE) is an educational theory that bases each part of an educational system around goals (outcomes). Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) introduced the OBE in Pakistani engineering higher-education-institutions (HEIs),from 2018, in the replacement of previously followed Syllabus& Curriculum based education system. Key to success of OBE System is its continuous-quality-improvement (CQI) mechanism. The CQI mechanism design should be based on accurate assessment process and flawless evaluation of OBE System parameters; otherwise the OBE System’s benefits cannot be achieved. However, some HEIs have not devised an effective CQI mechanism and they still using classical procedures and academic tools in implementation of the OBE Framework, which cannot give desired results from the new System. This paper presents that; instead of presently employed loose-control, a modified stringent control strategy for academic activity and employment of latest technology, can make the CQI mechanism, more effective and efficient. This paper therefore presents a two-fold contribution. At first, the implementation problems of the OBE System are critically analyzed. Secondly, few modifications in the existing approaches have been introduced to achieve the desired results from the recently adopted OBE system.

Published: January 2022

Zosima absinthifolia is the only species of Zosima genus in Azerbaijan. The aim of this study was to determine the quantitative and qualitative determination of fatty acids in the fruits of the plant Zosima absinthifolia, which is widespread in Absheron, as well as to study its physicochemical and organoleptic properties, possible use in the pharmaceutical and food industries. The oil obtained from the fruits of the plant collected from the Absheron Peninsula (Bibiheybat) was analyzed by gas chromatography. The oil was obtained at 60 °C for 8 h by the extraction of the fruits in a Soxhlet extractor. The yield was 10.36%. Chromatographic analysis of the oil obtained from plant fruits allowed to determine 14 fatty acids. The main component of Z. absinthifolia fruit oil is oleic acid (74.36%). Small amounts of caprylic and palmitic acids were also found to be 8.9% and 5.39%, respectively. The lowest percentage is palmitinoleic acid (0.07%). Physical-chemical constants and organoleptic properties of Z. absinthifolia fruit oil were also analyzed and it was determined that the percentage of free fatty acids in our sample was 2.47%, the peroxide value 34.16 mg O/kg and the saponification number 200.23 mg KOH/g.
Trust of Socially Vulnerable Groups on Criminal Justice System of Pakistan
Authors: Ahmad Khalil
Published: January 2022

The present research analyzed the trust of juvenile and women prisoners in the criminal justice system of Pakistan with a focus upon the perceived legitimacy and effectiveness of justice institutions for procedural and distributive fairness. Data were collected from both under-trial and convicted juvenile and women prisoners from Borstal Institute and District Jail Faisalabad respectively. Although larger proportions of the respondents recognized and accepted the authority of various justice institutions for rule of law, a significant number of respondents viewed that justice institutions protect the interests of powerful people and do not represent moral authority. Police lacked the trust of the respondents for procedural fairness in terms of respect, impartiality, and fair treatment. However, courts have been trusted for impartiality and fair treatment compared to police and other justice institutions. The logistic results indicated educational attainment, age, prison status, and income level differently influenced experiences of the prisoners towards procedural and distributive fairness of justice institutions. Younger, illiterate, and under-trial prisoners with relatively low household income levels had low perceived legitimacy of justice institutions and less trust in the criminal justice system. Low scoring on socio-economic variables seemed to be related to increased vulnerability of the prisoners, in turn, less trust in the criminal justice system.
Pakistani Police Governance and Accountability: Challenges and Recommendations
Authors: Rashid Athar , Jan Inamullah , Ahmed Munib
Published: January 2022

The persistence of massive corruption, a lack of accountability, departmental clashes, constitutional crisis, and a deteriorating law and order situation, particularly in the police department, are ample indicators of the country's poor governance. Pakistan has been engulfed by opinionated volatility and turbulence, resulting in the formation of a dark crevice in the country's economic growth and development. Good governance cannot be respected while there is opinionated disarray, a politician's appetite for power, and an unreformed Police Department. The current police system in Pakistan was designed by the British in 1861 to address a more diverse set of social, administrative, and political realities than the country currently portrays. Numerous national and international experts have concluded that colonial architecture is unsuitable for Pakistan. Pakistan requires comprehensive police reforms as a necessary component of the national framework, regardless of which party is in power. The public interest in reclaiming law enforcement's value has never been greater than it is today. There is growing recognition that the assignment requires concentrated effort. There can be no expectation of momentous police reforms without a continuing corporation and partnership edifice among the major players involved. A progressive and unwavering political leadership, a towering altitude of public support, and an enthused and well-led general public that demands higher standards of police performance are all necessary components of change and good governance.

Authors: Ashfaq Mohammad , Roofi Yasmin
Published: January 2022

The elite political culture of Pakistan is comparatively feudalistic in nature as the base of power in the state. Political culture may be defined as how many people participate in the political procedure. It is a system of beliefs upon which a large majority of people agree. The history of the political culture of Pakistan has witnessed the domination of multiple elite groups. These major elites had influences on the political system. Gaetano Mosca, the founder of the Italian school of elitism enumerated the personal traits of these ruling elites, operating centrally as direct power holders of the body politics, The purpose of this research is to critically study the elite political culture and problematics created by this group for liberal democracy. This research will present the concept of elite political culture and how it emerged in the politics of Pakistan. It will also conclude that how elite political culture distorted or eclipsed specifically the smooth functioning of the liberal democratic political system of the state and society in general. For the completion of the proposed study, both primary, as well as secondary sources, have been used. While undertaking any research a peculiar methodology is applied to obtain the objectives of the study. Historical, narrative, descriptive, analytical and conceptual research methodology is applied. This is a descriptive analysis of elitism and presents this concept through different authors who treated this subject in different manners.
