Facial Recognition using Locality Preserving Projection Algorithm
Authors: Adeshina A.M.
Published: June 2023

Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) has become the research object of many in the recent times considering the challenges with enormous increase in human population. The face as the main axis in social relations plays an important role in the representation of human identity, which requires an increased level of security and the creation of exchange tricks for safe and recognizable evidence and innovations of individual authentication. Apparently, facial recognition is widely adopted for security reasons, and the uniqueness of human characteristics has increased the popularity of facial recognition technology systems worldwide. Law enforcement agencies faced the problem of the impossibility of proper investigation of criminal cases. Suspects are often difficult to catch and the wrong persons may be arrested due to the basis and methods adopted for the investigation. This study proposes a facial recognition system for the identification of criminals using Locality Preserving Projection (LPP) Algorithm. The development of the system involves specification of the functions resulting from the performance analysis obtained from other related systems, and the translation of the developed model into the design of the proposed system. The framework was evaluated by matching the faces of people extracted through special cameras with the images of people on a watch list. Watch lists that contain images of people, including people not suspected of wrong doings. Strategically, the implementation of the facial recognition system was achieved with Locality Preserving Projection (LPP) Algorithm to improve the feature extraction methods and dimensionality reduction techniques. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) was used for describing the presentation of the document written in HTML language and JavaScript for the front-end for optimum web compatibility. A Python binding of the cross-platform Qt GUI toolkit and Python plugin were used to implement the graphical user interface for detecting and recognizing images and the presence of an individual upon entering the database library. Interestingly, the developed framework recorded accuracy and recognition >95% capacity under normal conditions, including lighting and distance from camera and at a reasonably cheaper cost in comparison with previously proposed Facial Recognition Technology
Two-Phase Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud Computing Data Centers Using Extreme Learning Machine Prediction-Based Triggering Method
Authors: Muhaammad Nafiu Musa
Published: June 2023

Background: Two-phase Optimization of Virtual Machine Placement (VMP) Problem considers both the Online Incremental VMP (iVMP) phase in which the new arrival of dynamic requests of Virtual Machines VMs are attended to and the Offline VMP reconfiguration (VMPr) phase that performs placement recalculation. In the two-phase scheme, the first part of the two-phase approach is the iVMP, where virtual machines (VMs) can be built, changed, or destroyed at runtime. While the second phase focuses on raising the standard of solutions produced by the iVMP, several studies have been done in different literature to solve the VMP problem. However, the methods used tend to be over-forecast and have long runs of a linear trend. This affects the prediction and produces a less optimal solution. Objective: The following four objective functions are optimized using the proposed Extreme Learning Machine Prediction-Based Triggering Method for Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud Computing Datacenters in Two-Phases, which combines the advantages of both online (dynamic) and static (offline) VMP formulations: the length of the reconfiguration process, the amount of energy used, the way resources are used, and the financial expenses. This study suggests a brand-new strategy for deciding when to start the VMP reconfiguration phase. Results: The Method provides more accuracy to the predicted requests as well as reduces the total economic penalties for service Level Agreement(SLA) violations. An experimental comparison with the existing approach is conducted utilizing 400 cases. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that, in comparison to the benchmark approach, the proposed work obtained a minimum cost function with a 10.5% improvement
Modified Round Robin with Highest Response Ratio Next CPU Scheduling Algorithm using Dynamic Time Quantum
Authors: Abubakar Suleiman Ebaiya
Published: June 2023

Background: The most popular time-sharing operating systems scheduling technique, whose efficiency heavily dependent on time slice selection, is the round robin CPU scheduling algorithm. The time slice works similar to the First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS) scheduling or processor sharing algorithm if it is large or extremely too small. Some of the existing research papers have an algorithm called Improved Round Robin with Highest Response Ratio Next (IRRHRRN) which made use of response ratio with a predefined time quantum of 10ms with the major aim of avoiding starvation. However, the IRRHRRN algorithm favors processes with shorter burst time than the ones with longer burst time, and gave no regard to the process arrival time, thus leading to starvation. Aim: This study tries to improve on the IRRHRRN algorithm by proposing the Modified Round Robin with Highest Response Ratio Next (MRRHRRN) CPU Scheduling Algorithm using Dynamic Time Quantum in order to reduce the problem of starvation. Method: Dynamic method of determining the time quantum was adopted. Results: The proposed algorithm was compared with four other existing algorisms such as Standard Round Robin (RR), Improved Round Robin (IRR), An Additional Improvement in Round Robin (AAIRR), and the Improved Round Robin with Highest Response Ratio Next (IRRHRRN) and it provided some promising results in terms of the Average Waiting Time of 35407.6 ms, Average Turnaround Time of 36117.6 ms, Average Response Time of 10894.8 ms and Number of Context Switch of 301for the Non-Zero Arrival Times Processes

Published: June 2023

Reclamation for settlement was started in 1770 at Sundarbans and the present population in the Indian part, is around 5.0 million, and gradually increasing, but continuous mangrove degradation made Sundarbans vulnerable. The Livelihood Structures for Sundarbans’ residents and amenities are largely dependent upon the Sundarbans’ resources, but these livelihood opportunities became vulnerable and face threats from several natural processes and anthropogenic activities. The present study attempted to understand the several dimensions of livelihood strategies for the inhabitants of several occupational groups at Sundarbans; associated opportunities, as well as constraints through the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) approach (after DFID, 2000) that envisages and comprises the livelihood assets, activities, important vulnerable issues that affect livelihood structures with the complex interactions amongst them. The objective of the present study is to establish a sustainable livelihood through the analysis of five important capitals of the SLF approach for the people of Indian Sundarbans considering the possible vulnerabilities. The same study has been carried out based on the extensive literature review, household livelihood surveys; informant interviews, and Shared Learning Dialogue (SLD) using the participatory approach by selected livelihood groups through several quantitative and qualitative indicators. The study concluded with the recommendation of Mangrove regeneration at Sundarbans.
Comparative Analysis of Multimedia Compression Algorithms
Authors: Amoah Godwin Awuah , Wahab Esthella Rahama Abdul
Published: June 2023

Data compression reduces the amount of bits needed to encode information, conserving expensive resources like disc space and transmission bandwidth. By using data compression, an information block's real size is kept as little as possible. The compression process consists of two steps: encoding, which uses fewer bits to compress a message, and decoding, which uses the compressed representation to roughly resemble or replicate the original message. The two main types of data compression are lossless compression and lossy approaches. The Huffman, Lempel-Ziv, and Run Length encoding techniques were all examined in this research, along with three other commonly used compression techniques. According to the research, Run Length Encoding was the best method for reducing the size of text, web pages, images, and sound.

Published: June 2023

Understanding morphological, phenological, or chemical characters that promote reproduction, or limit it, is particularly important for rare plants. Jaltomata grandiflora is a rare member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae) from Mexico. In floral nectar, the mean cumulative sugar content per flower was 0.9 mg during the pistillate phase (day 1) and was significantly higher (1.25 mg) during the hermaphroditic phase (day 2). The mean cumulative nectar volume per flower was 0.99 µL during the pistillate phase and was higher (1.36 µL) but not significantly higher during the hermaphroditic phase. The mean sugar concentration (oBrix) was 67.8 during the pistillate phase and slightly higher (70.3) but not significantly higher during the hermaphroditic phase.
Arts Integration as Critical Pedagogy
Authors:   University of Richmond, Sheehan Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

This chapter discusses arts integration in K-12 education as a form of critical pedagogy, a way to create a “curriculum within the curriculum” that meets the demands of standardized testing while encouraging students to make meaningful connections to the material they are taught. Arts integration allows teachers to use a wide range of art forms to teach core subjects, including those emphasized by statewide standardized tests. Focusing on an arts integration project for fourth graders at a Title I elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, the chapter describes how the study of African American history in the former capital of the Confederacy was positioned within the required yearlong Virginia History curriculum. Through field trips and with the guidance of their teachers, an architectural historian, a photographer, and a poet, the children created their personal responses to the story of black Richmond and explored their own and their families’ relationship to this story.
The Art of Anthropology at a College in Crisis: Exploring Some Effects of Neoliberalism on Higher Education
Authors:   William Peace University, Melomo Vincent
Published: June 2023

This chapter addresses the increasing pervasiveness of neoliberal ideologies in our culture and focuses on the implications of these ideologies for the future of anthropology in higher education. More specifically, the chapter considers how these ideologies pose a particular challenge to anthropology’s more humanistic dimensions, which include both the art of anthropology and an anthropology of art. Throughout the chapter, the author tells the story of how reductions were made recently to the anthropology program at his institution in response to converging economic crises. He analyzes the context of these changes and the process by which they were made in order to raise questions about the broader implications of neoliberalism for the discipline of anthropology. The chapter closes by suggesting measures anthropologists could take to resist and survive the threats brought by an increasingly neoliberal higher education environment.

In 2009 Craig Gentry proved that Fully Homomorphic Encryption can be applied and realized in principle. Homomorphism allowed us to perform arbitrary computations and calculations on encrypted data. With RSA being the first cryptosystem to hold homomorphic properties, there came other additive and multiplicative cryptosystems. However, fully Homomorphic encryption proved to be the ultimate cryptographic solution to ensure security of data on cloud. It enables processing and computing arbitrary functions over the encrypted data thereby reducing the probability of accessing the plain text.

Agricultural production has been a great interest to economists studying the process of development and growth. There are many types of agricultural productivity which are interesting, I would like to focus specifically on rice which is the major economic crop in Thailand and have the largest farm area. The objective of this study is to study the relationship of agricultural growth by considering the relationship between productivity with price, wage and poverty of rice’s farmer in Thailand by comparing descriptive statistic including imply economic theory. The result of the study found that if considering the relationship from descriptive statistic for productivity with price, wages and poverty. There is not enough evidence with scientific number to make a conclusion about the positive or negative relationship of the variables.

Cultural hybridity in Netflix’s Thai-language original series, the stranded
Authors:   , Chaichompu Thanarath
Published: June 2023

The objectives of this qualitative research are to examine culturally hybrid features in The Stranded and the approaches to mixing different cultural elements as part of the series’ creative process. In order to collect the data needed, I conducted literature research, a textual analysis on The Stranded; and in-depth interviews on the series’ director and co-writer. The research findings suggest culturally hybrid features were primarily found in 1) the narrative and 2) characterization. In terms of the narrative, The Stranded is a culturally hybrid text thanks to the use of the Naga myth in Thailand’s modern setting, the unintentional references to Lord of the Flies and Lost and intentional references to the Phra Chai Suriya poem and Gone with the Wind. In terms of characterization, certain characters were constructed with varying degrees of Thai and western cultural influences. The depictions of physical intimacy, a social outcast, the game of “Fuck, Marry, Kill”, and classroom lesssons and manners were heavily westernized. Thai culture, on the other hand, influenced a character’s beliefs. The research also found three approaches to mixing  different cultures in The Stranded, depending on the writers’ assumption of viewers’ cultural understanding. They are 1) partial acceptance of certain cultural elements 2) complete  acceptance and 3) complete change.

Interlanguage pragmatics: an investigation of pragmatic transfer in responses to English tag questions by l1 Thai learners
Authors:   , Wattananukij Wattana
Published: June 2023

The research investigated pragmatic transfer in responses to English tag questions by L1 Thai learners based on the theory of interlanguage pragmatics, specifically pragmatic transfer (Kasper & Blum-Kulka, 1993). There were two participant groups: a native control group and two experimental groups. The control group consisted of three native English speakers formulating the baseline data. The experimental groups were categorized according to their English proficiency levels: the intermediate and the advanced groups, with 16 participants in the learners’ group. An oral discourse completion task and a written discourse completion task (Blum-Kulka, 1982) were employed to elicit the participants’ responses to English affirmative and negative tag questions in two modalities, speaking and writing. The major findings cast light on the L1 Thai learners’ problems in responding to English negative tag questions, rather than positive ones, as a result of their strong reliance on the Thai pragmatic norm. The results also showed that pragmatic transfer, which resulted from different linguistic patterns of responses to English tag questions and responses to Thai tag questions, was evidently found in both advanced and intermediate L1 Thai learners of English in both modalities. However, the responses to English tag questions by the intermediate group was less native-like than the advanced group’s responses and manifested a higher degree of pragmatic transfer than the advanced groups’ responses. Concerning pragmatic transfer in the two modalities, the responses to English negative tag questions in writing manifested a greater degree of pragmatic transfer than those in speaking. It is assumed that L1 Thai learners produced more native-like responses to English tag questions in oral production, rather than in written production. The findings of this research are expected to elucidate the performance of the L1 Thai learners’ responses to English tag questions in both modalities and their dependence on L1 Thai pragmatic norm in responding English tag questions. This study yielded some pedagogical implications in that English language teachers in Thailand should focus more on differentiating responses to English negative tag questions from those to English affirmative tag questions.

This special project studies the impact of analysts’ consensus on predictability of the stocks listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Two models of analysts’ forecast error are proposed and used as a proxy for predictability in the study. The first model of analysts’ forecast error, ln(AFE), is computed from the natural logarithm of the squared error in a median forecast of one year ahead, i.e. (Actual next 12M EPS – median forecast EPS)2, deflated by the beginning share price. The second model of the forecast error, |EPS FE|, is calculated from the difference in a median forecast error, i.e., Actual next 12M EPS – median forecast EPS, divided by the absolute value of Actual next 12M EPS. The study investigates the impact of analysts’ consensus via the analyst variables, such as the previous forecast error, the number of analysts (NOA), the variance of target returns (VTR), the skewness of target returns (STR), and the percentage of “Buy” recommendation (PBR), while controlling firm’s fundamental and macroeconomic factors, i.e., dividend yields, earnings growth, firm’s leverage, firm’s size, and the short-term interest rate. The empirical results show the forecast error in the first model is influenced by the previous forecast error whereas other analyst variables, as well as control variables, have no relationship with it. This implies that analysts improve their current forecast by learning from their previous forecast error. The regression results of the second model reveal that the previous forecast error, NOA, VTR, and PBR are the only factors affecting the current forecast error. However, the robustness test reveals that the second model may not be suitable for measuring analysts’ forecast error because it is sensitive to the outlier data whereas the results of the first model remain unchanged after removing the outliers.
Asia REITs interdependence and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic
Authors:   , Asawapiched Boonchai
Published: June 2023

This study investigates Asia REIT interdependence and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. The data of six major REIT markets in Asia (Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, and Taiwan) have been applied with Johansen cointegration test, Granger causality test, impulse response functions, and variance decomposition. In addition, U.S. REIT is incorporated to emphasis the its impact on Asia markets. The results indicate market integration at long-run period as REIT performance is closely related to the direct real estate market whereas REIT is affected by shocks and noise like stock in short-run. Moreover, it is found that Asia developed markets (Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong) are segmented and influence others which could be due to similar economic situation and the liquidity spilling over to emerging markets. The interdependent significantly changes after the breakout of COVID-19 suggesting international diversification in short run. It varies depending on the characteristics and capital structure of REIT. While, the recovery of REIT may rely on different disease control measures, monetary policy, and fund flow. The results show that the markets dominated by hotel and retail REIT (Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia) have higher cointegration and differentiate from the others. Furthermore, the impact of U.S. significantly increases during the COVID-19 period which is the possible effect of massive COVID-19 stimulus packages of U.S. to Asian REIT markets.
Could morningstar sustainability rating be an indicator for downside protection?
Authors:   , Ruengsrichaiya Purisa
Published: June 2023

This study investigates whether the Morningstar Sustainability Rating indicates the downside protection for the 2018 Global stock market downturn and 2020 Stock market crash by using daily time-series analysis and investigate whether fund characteristics have an effect on performance of each Morningstar Sustainability Rating by using a panel data analysis at a quarterly frequency for the active equity mutual fund in the US market.

This paper finds the neutral performance in every group of ratings in any market period according to the neutral alpha or abnormal return and the fund characteristics influence the fund performance pattern which can observe that the better rating’s fund tend to have the better performance which can indicate that the better Morningstar Sustainability Rating provides the less downside risk in the crisis period.
Do women on boards, education diversity and corporate governance affect firm risk and firm performance in Thailand?
Authors:   , Klomkhao Juthamard
Published: June 2023

The purposes of my study are to investigate the relationship among women on boards, education diversity, and corporate governance on firm risk and/or firm performance of listed companies in Thailand during 2010-2019. Surprisingly, I find an insignificant relationship between the proportion of female directors and firm risk (both total risk and idiosyncratic risk). Moreover, the findings show that women on boards strongly improve ROA, but significantly reduce Tobin’s Q. For education diversity, there is no significant relationship on any measures of firm performance. This study further discovers that an incremental effect of female education diversity on women directorship positively affects only Tobin’s Q. In addition, the result also suggests that an incremental effect of women directorship on corporate governance lowers a positive effect of corporate governance on ROA, but not on Tobin’s Q. Overall, all of these findings appear to vary depending on the type of firm performance measures used.
Does algorithmic trading improve liquidity around dividend announcement? evidence from the stock exchange of Thailand
Authors:   , Chatchawanwanit Chotika
Published: June 2023

This study investigates the impact of the entry of algorithmic trading on Thailand’s stock market liquidity around dividend announcement during 2001 – 2016. We find some evidence to support that the entry of algorithmic trading in Thai stock market and their increase activities in the market help to provide more liquidity in term of trade volume in stock market liquidity especially after the dividend announcement releases. However, the rise of algorithmic trading tend to lead the market participants to consume liquidity in term of market depth at both best bid and bet offer rather than providing the standing orders in the market during period of high information asymmetry.
Financial constraints, corporate governanceand corporate cash holdings: evidence from Thai market
Authors:   , Tangchitpianvit Pantawat
Published: June 2023

The objectives of this paper are to examine the relationship between corporate governance and financial constraints which play a substitution role in mitigating agency conflicts associated to corporate cash holdings of Thai listed company covering the period from 2008 to 2019. I use five firm specific characteristics of financial constraints i.e. annual payout ratio, firm size, leverage ratio, lifecycle ratio as well as collateral asset ratio and corporate governance score as proxies to determine the level of cash holdings. The result provides that financial constrained-firms hold larger amount of cash than financial less constrained-firms in order to have adequate financial cash slack for unanticipated situation. This is consistent with the study of Opler et al. 1999. In addition, an interesting finding is that corporate governance helps financially less-constrained firms to mitigate agency conflicts in corporate cash holdings. This is also consistent with the study of Harford et al. (2008) which suggests that stronger corporate governance will reduce agency conflict because shareholders can ensure that they will be better protected their wealth so they will allow firms to hold larger amount of cash holdings. Therefore, my paper suggests that the effectiveness of corporate governance strongly interrelate with financial constraints on corporate cash holdings in Thailand.
Herding behavior ,case of listed companies in Thailand
Authors:   , Prawangsuk Patipol
Published: June 2023

We examine herding behavior in the Thailand stock market under different market conditions, industries, firm sizes, and investor types. We also study herding behavior during the Covid19 period. Lastly, we further develop a new factor that is a qualified price-risk element for stock return. The results show evidence of herding behavior in the Thailand stock market during the extreme positive and negative markets condition. And the herding behavior exists in twenty sectors out of twenty-six. The small-cap portfolio shows a greater magnitude of herding behavior compares with a large-cap portfolio. During the covid19 period, the result indicates herding behavior is more severe than usual. We further suggest the new risk factor in the Carhart four-factor model.
Comparison of Microsampling and Conventional Sampling Techniques for Quantification of Warfarin in Blood Samples: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mulyadi Callista , Harahap Yahdiana , Muliawan Hary
Published: June 2023

Warfarin is a vitamin K antagonist (VKAs) anticoagulant associated with interindividual patients’ response to therapy, narrow therapeutic index, and serious adverse drug events. Monitoring ensures efficacy and safety by measuring drug concentration in the bloodstream, which demands blood or plasma samples from patients through conventional sampling. Conventional sampling often requires invasive methods that may be uncomfortable for patients. Microsampling offers an opportunity to reduce the burden of multiple blood sampling on patients and simplifies the process of sample transportation and storage. This systematic review describes conventional and microsampling techniques for quantifying warfarin in human blood samples and the bioanalytical method employed to perform the analysis. Related studies (537) were screened from several databases and narrowed down into 12 eligible articles, which were then used to fulfill the purpose of this review in a narrative form. It is concluded that while there are still limited studies regarding the application of microsampling for warfarin quantification in patients, there has been evidence of comparable plasma and micro samples results, highlighting the potential for future development of routine monitoring using the microsampling technique.
Cognitive Information Processing Approach To History Learning
Authors: Kadir Syaiful
Published: June 2023

The human thought process is a process carried out by an influencing condition. Utilization of capacity in the cognitive domain of humans has basically started to run since humans utilize motor and sensory capacities. In learning history for students using the cognitive domain becomes very difficult, because in this domain there needs to be processing of information that is absorbed in each lesson. Processing can be in the form of various learning models that can stimulate memory to process information. Because basically the view of cognitive information management pays attention to how sensory input is transformed, reduced, described, stored, retrieved, and used. Thus any learning strategy in history learning if using a cognitive information processing approach will very likely be more effective and efficient.
