An analysis of robots (simulators) in education is provided. Promising directions for their development are highlighted, such as realism, interactivity, adaptation and personalization. The features of using simulators in dentistry are considered. The main disadvantages of existing simulators in dentistry have been identified, namely the lack of a communicative component and imitation of patient behavior. The anthropomorphic dental simulator is based on the Robo-C robot, which is a unique combination of advanced technologies and human facial expressions, which allows it to communicate with people, reproduce movements of different parts of the body and express emotions. As dental components, the following components were created and implemented into the Robo-C control system: a Smart jaw, including cameras and a temperature sensor, and a Smart tooth, including a pressure sensor. The Robo-C control system has been upgraded taking into account the Smart jaw and Smart tooth, which made it possible to connect the dental treatment process with the robot’s servos through its linguistic base. The process of analyzing data obtained from Smart jaw cameras using a neural network is described. A two-stage classification scheme for dental defects has been proposed and its effectiveness has been proven. The linguistic base contains a set of rules with the help of which devices (microphone, speakers, servos, Smart jaw, Smart tooth) interact with each other. An example of compiling a linguistic database rule is given. The linguistic base, Smart-jaw and Smart-tooth are configured for one of four cases: caries treatment, tooth preparation for a crown, tooth extraction, endodontic treatment. Treatment quality control is carried out using a comprehensive assessment of communication interaction with the robot and analysis of Smart-jaw and Smart-tooth data. An example of work in one of the cases is given. The anthropomorphic dental simulator presented in the article allows the use of new technologies in the training of dentists, as well as the simulation of various dental procedures, which will significantly improve the practical preparation of students for working with patients.

The traditional village as a part of a cultural landscape: the development of cultural agriculture tourism in Catur, Bali
Authors: Putra I Dewa Gede Agung Diasna , Adhika I Made
Published: January 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of the agriculture sector, which has been abandoned by some people, most notably in certain cultural tourism zones of Bali. Balinese culture, which is inextricably linked to agricultural operations and in which agrarian culture adds its aspects to the community's everyday cultural activities, has enormous potential for future tourism expansion. However, certain resort zones in Bali have abandoned the agricultural sector, threatening food and culture. This occurrence has prompted concerns about whether the tourism economy's agriculture practices can continue to serve their roles. Could agriculture meet Balinese cultural and home needs in this tourism-based economy? In this case, the Balinese engage in agricultural undertakings and offer their agricultural produce to their ancestors and God. Conversely, people worship God by praying for a bountiful harvest with farm products. However, as a community, this agricultural activity has begun to decline, which is expected to limit future efforts to conserve the culture. Through field study and descriptive analysis, this paper seeks to investigate various agricultural and cultural potentials in a rural cultural environment as a tourist attraction while conserving agrarian culture to save the local culture. By juxtaposing agricultural, cultural, and tourism activities in a balanced manner, local communities will benefit not only economically, but also in efforts to preserve local culture.

Authors: Vandana K. I. Vishnu , Nagasree P. Siva
Published: January 2024

For effective dry turning of hardened steels, ceramic tool materials have long been utilized as an alternative to conventional tool materials. Therefore, the purpose of the current work is to investigate whether ceramic materials like alumina (Al2O3) are suitable for use as tool materials during the dry (without coolant) turning of hardened steels. In addition, while cutting EN 24 hardened steels, the performance of an alumina ceramic tool insert was compared to a commercial tool insert in the current work. On EN 24 steel samples, turning operations were performed utilizing both alumina ceramic tool inserts and commercial carbide tool inserts at different machining parameters such as speed, feed, and depth of cut. The turning performance of both alumina and commercial tool inserts was evaluated at various machining conditions based on abrasive wear (weight loss) of the tool inserts and the surface roughness of EN 24 machined samples. At all machining parameters, it was found that the abrasive wear of ceramic tool inserts was lower than the abrasive wear of commercial tool inserts. It is observed that, the surface roughness of EN 24 machined samples when machined with ceramic tool inserts was a little higher when compared with the surface roughness values of EN 24 machined samples which are machined with the commercial tool insert. The results of the experiment showed that ceramic cutting tools had comparable cutting performance to commercial cutting tools.

The usage of marginal aggregate as subbase layer
Authors: Nataadmadja Adelia Dwidarma , Prahara Eduardi , Bennardi Andreas
Published: January 2024

Aggregate holds the main role in determining the quality of pavement layers. Unfortunately, the locally available aggregates sometimes did not pass one or more requirements stated in the standard, making these aggregates technically unable to be used. These aggregates are called marginal or substandard aggregates. However, previous research projects have shown the potential of utilizing marginal aggregates as pavement layers. This research aims to analyst the techniques for utilizing marginal aggregates as pavement layers, specifically as subbases. Two techniques were evaluated herein, namely by varying the aggregate gradation and by adding cement and lime as stabilizers, and the specimens were assessed by the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test. The research results found that varying the percentage of coarse and fine aggregates in the specimens improved the CBR value. The specimen obtained the highest CBR value with 70% coarse aggregate and 30% fine aggregate. Moreover, it was found that adding cement and lime as stabilizers at the right percentage was also able to improve the CBR value of the specimens and mixing the stabilizers beyond a certain percentage decreases the CBR value. The amount of cement and lime needed depended on the aggregate gradation used.

Published: January 2024

Estimating regional integration faces challenges due to incomplete data. This paper addresses this through the dynamic factor model estimated using the Bayesian state-space approach. Bilateral economic integration (BEI) indexes are estimated across four dimensions: trade, foreign direct investments, finance, and migration. The regional integration index (RII) of Asia and the Pacific is calculated by applying network density to the BEI estimates. The RII declined slightly in recent years, with the network centering more around the People’s Republic of China.

Autoantibodies to glutamate decarboxylase (GADA) are widely used in the prediction and classification of type 1 diabetes. GADA radiobinding assays (RBAs) using N-terminally truncated antigens offer improved specificity, but radioisotopes limit the high-throughput potential for population screening. Luciferase-based immunoprecipitation system (LIPS) assays are sensitive and specific alternatives to RBAs with the potential to improve risk stratification. The performance of assays using the Nanoluc luciferase (Nluc)-conjugated GAD65 constructs, Nluc-GAD65(96–585) and full length Nluc-GAD65(1–585), were evaluated in 434 well-characterized serum samples from patients with recent-onset type 1 diabetes and first-degree relatives. Nonradioactive, high-throughput LIPS assays are quicker and require less serum than RBAs. Of 171 relatives previously tested single autoantibody positive for autoantibodies to full-length GAD65 by RBA but had not progressed to diabetes, fewer retested positive by LIPS using either truncated (n = 72) or full-length (n = 111) antigen. The Nluc-GAD65(96–585) truncation demonstrated the highest specificity in LIPS assays overall, but in contrast to RBA, N-terminus truncations did not result in a significant increase in disease-specificity compared with the full-length antigen. This suggests that binding of nonspecific antibodies is affected by the conformational changes resulting from addition of the Nluc antigen. Nluc-GAD65(96–585) LIPS assays offer low-blood-volume, high-specificity GADA tests for screening and diagnostics.

Published: January 2024

As time goes by, there are increased cases of child neglect due to parents who want to run away from the burden of their responsibility to care for their children. Legal protection policies for abandoned children that have been applied so far tend to only add to their shortcomings without paying attention to the wider impact. This is because laws that are supposed to protect the basic rights of abandoned children are struggling with their own problems. This research uses research methods with the approach technique used is Normative Juridical. The approach used is a conceptual approach and a statue approach using primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Legal material analysis uses the nature of prescriptive analysis, which is to provide arguments for the results of research that has been done by providing prescriptions or judgments about right or wrong or what should be according to law against legal facts or events resulting from research. The results showed that the Constitution mandates the state to realize welfare as stated in the Articles in the Constitution. The function of the State in caring for abandoned children can be realized if the government as a policy maker and / or legislation must take sides and pay attention to various problems of abandoned children in Indonesia. The responsibility of the local government of Karawang Regency from the juridical aspect towards abandoned children relates to Regional Regulation Number 8 of 2012 concerning the Implementation of Social Welfare, which is carried out in two ways or steps, Coaching, and Advanced Development.

Authors: Mahesh H. B  , Ali Ahammed G. F  , Usha S. M
Published: January 2024

6G technology is designed to provide users with faster and more reliable data  transfer as compared to the current 5G technology. 6G is rapidly evolving and provides a large bandwidth, even in underserved areas. This technology is extremely anticipated and is currently booming for its ability to deliver massive network capacity, low latency, and a highly improved user experience. Its scope is immense, and it’s designed to connect everyone and everything in the world. It includes new deployment models and services with extended user capacity. This study proposes a network slicing simulator that uses hardcoded base station coordinates to randomly distribute client locations to help analyse the performance of a particular base station architecture. When a client wants to locate the closest base station, it queries the simulator, which stores base station coordinates in a K-Dimensional tree. Throughout the simulation, the user follows a pattern that continues until the time limit is achieved. It gauges multiple statistics such as client connection ratio, client count per second, Client count per slice, latency, and the new location of the client. The K-D tree handover algorithm proposed here allows the user to connect to the nearest base stations after fulfilling the required criteria. This algorithm ensures the quality requirements and decides among the base stations the user connects to.

Authors: Mohamed Mahmoud
Published: January 2024

With cyberattacks growing in frequency and sophistication, effective anomaly detection is critical for securing networks and systems. This study provides a comparative evaluation of deep generative models for detecting anomalies in network intrusion data. The key objective is to determine the most accurate model architecture. Variational autoencoders (VAEs), VAE-GANs, and adversarial autoencoders (AAEs) are tested on the NSL-KDD dataset containing normal traffic and different attack types. Results show that AAEs significantly outperform VAEs and VAE-GANs, achieving AUC scores up to 0.96 and F1 scores of 0.76 on novel attacks. The adversarial regularization of AAEs enables superior generalization capabilities compared to standard VAEs. VAE-GANs exhibit better accuracy than VAEs, demonstrating the benefits of adversarial training. However, VAE-GANs have higher computational requirements. The findings provide strong evidence that AAEs are the most effective deep anomaly detection technique for intrusion detection systems. This study delivers novel insights into optimizing deep learning architectures for cyber defense. The comparative evaluation methodology and results will aid researchers and practitioners in selecting appropriate models for operational network security.

Authors: Pratap Dr. Pushpendra D.
Published: January 2024

The fourth most prevalent gynaecological malignancy affecting females globally is cervical cancer (CC). HPV (high-risk) infection has been related to the majority of CC cases. Owing to efficient screening through Pap smear and vaccination delivery, the commonness and death rate of CC have significantly decreased. Nevertheless, not all societies have access to this equally. A better therapeutic outcome may be achieved by targeting CSCs, which might play a significant impact in carcinogenesis, metastasis, recurrence, and radio / chemo –resistance of CC. The majority of tumours are made up of a tiny subset of tumour cells called CSCs that have the capability to self-renew and develop into a variety of tumour cell types. Cervical CSCs (CCSC) are challenging to recognise, which has prompted the hunt for other markers. The potential indicators of CSCs in CC are described in the current review. These CCSC indicators might be used as molecular goals to improve the effectiveness and lessen the negative effects of chemotherapy in HR-HPV-positive CC.

In an era where globalization is reshaping every facet of our lives, international cooperation holds the key to progress. The Special Province of Yogyakarta seized the moment to forge a transformative partnership with Japan's Kyoto Prefecture, inaugurated on 16th July 1985. This study delves into the tapestry of this 'sister province' cooperation, tracing its historical trajectory and discerning the elements behind its enduring success. Employing qualitative research involving stakeholders’ interviews from both regions, this study unveils compelling insights. This cooperation emerges as successful model of 'sister province' initiatives in Indonesia, aligning seamlessly with the government's benchmarks—ranging from mutual benefits and sustainable initiatives to positive community impacts. It is also found that leadership factors influence the success of this sister province cooperation. Both leaders can manage and encourage collective action to support this cooperation. Moreover, both regions boast a vibrant cultural heritage, sharing numerous similarities that energize and deepen the ties between these sister provinces. Yet, even amidst its achievements, challenges like budgetary constraints and manpower shortages cast shadows. This research, therefore, not only unveils the success story of the Yogyakarta-Kyoto cooperation, but also enriches scholarly discussion on the broader contributions of 'sister province' initiatives in Indonesia international cooperation landscape.

Perasaan cemas sebenarnya adalah reaksi alami tubuh yang dapat membuat kita menjadi berhati-hati atau waspada. Meskipun demikian, kecemasan yang berlebihan menjadi tidak sehat hingga sulit dikontrol, bahkan dapat mengganggu aktivitas sehari-hari. Resiko gangguan kecemasan yang dihadapi perempuan meningkat oleh karena beberapa faktor utama, antara lain faktor perkembangan, sosial, dan reproduksi. Reaksi atau gejala kecemasan yang paling sering muncul akan membuat individu tidak mampu bersikap atau bahkan beristirahat dengan tenang. Hal ini disebabkan oleh ketegangan motorik sehingga anggota tubuh tertentu pada individu tidak bisa diam yang akhirnya berujung pada aktivitas fidgeting. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mencari unsur desain berupa bentuk yang sesuai untuk perancangan perhiasan fidget wanita agar penyaluran gejala kecemasan dapat berguna untuk mengurangi keluhan dari kecemasan khususnya pada wanita. Hasil penelitian berdasarkan metode observasi aktivitas fidgeting untuk mengetahui arah gerakan seperti apa yang umumnya dilakukan saat merasa cemas atau gugup. Hasil dari observasi akan menghasilkan bentuk stilasi yang dapat menjadi pedoman dalam desain untuk perancangan perhiasan fidget wanita.

Autisme merupakan salah satu gangguan yang disebut Gangguan Spektrum Autisme (GSA). GSA sendiri adalah suatu gangguan pada perkembangan sistem saraf pusat yang sifatnya heterogen dan diturunkan secara polygenik atau melibatkan banyak gen yang berbeda. Gangguan ini akan terus ada seumur hidup penderita, umumnya penderita akan didiagnosis pada usia sekitar 2 tahun, sehingga banyak dari penderita yang memerlukan “bantuan” sepanjang hidupnya. Dalam menghadapi kondisi dan perilaku anak dengan GSA, orang tua, guru, pengasuh membutuhkan banyak waktu, upaya dan kesabaran. Konseling dapat bergerak di bidang mana saja, baik di sekolah maupun di masyarakat yang lebih luas, termasuk lingkungan keluarga. Kerjasama antara keluarga dan sekolah dalam membantu anak autisme mengoptimalkan kemampuannya sangatlah penting.
espaços construídos em Nova Friburgo (RJ)
Authors: Carvalho Silvia Scoralich
Published: January 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo destacar a discrepância entre teoria e prática nos discursos de proteção patrimonial embasados em narrativas excludentes. Utilizando o município de Nova Friburgo (RJ), e sua já problematizada designação de “Suíça Brasileira”, questiona-se por que o reconhecimento da contribuição dos demais grupos fundadores é pouco celebrado ou concretizado nos bens patrimoniais locais. A discussão levanta a utilização dos estilos arquitetônicos como mercadorias capazes de fabricar evidências históricas para que certosgrupos sociais reforcem sua importância. Espera-se que os tópicos abordados evidenciem a subutilização do patrimônio cultural, especialmente em sua relação transdisciplinar com as investigações históricas contemporâneas.
Evaluation of relative weight of balanced personnel index in Korean Public Offices through AHP
Authors: Jang Seung-hwan , Shin Sang-hyun
Published: January 2024

This research was conducted with the aim of developing indexes for diagnosis of balanced personnel levels in Korean Public Offices through Analytic Hierachy Process (AHP). The research found that 62.3% of ‘structural improvement’ and 37.7% of ‘inclusive organizational culture’ were weighted in large classification items. In the middle classification items, it was found weights of 27.5% for ‘gender equality’, 23.5% for ‘disabled’, 16.2% for ‘science and engineering’, 17.7% for ‘regional talent’, and 15.2% for ‘social integrated type’. In the small classification items, 9.4% of ‘employment rate of social integrated talent’, 5.3% of ‘the percentage of grade 7 and 9 selection of regional talent’ and 5% of ‘the percentage of women at the head of a department level’ were shown as important evaluation indicators. In addition, the ‘inclusive organizational culture’ was derived by allocating weights of 9.45% each for four areas: fairness, disclosure, cooperation and support. As above, this research constructs items of the balanced personnel index through prior research and designs detailed indexes. However, it is meaningful that surveys and others have confirmed the usefulness of the balanced personnel index, which will contribute to the achievement of balanced personnel objectives in public offices.

The resistance status in Hyalomma ticks collected from animal farms in three different regions of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (UAE) was estimated using adult immersion tests with various concentrations of cypermethrin (50ppm, 100 ppm, 200 ppm, 400ppm and 800 ppm). Regression graphs of tick mortality plotted against cypermethrin concentrations were utilized to determine lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC90). The data generated on different life history variables (mortality, egg mass weight, reproductive index, and percent inhibition of oviposition) were used to assess the resistance status. Results revealed level III cypermethrin resistance in Hyalomma anatolicum of the Al Hamam region (Al Ain) and level II resistance in the Malaqet region (Al Ain), whereas level I resistance was observed in the other studied locations, except Sweihan (Al Ain) where the tick population was fully susceptible. The LC90 value of susceptible (Sweihan) H. anatolicum was 244.87ppm and the discriminating dose (DC) was calculated to be 489.74ppm. The present study is the first report of cypermethrin resistance in ticks of the United Arab Emirates and highlights the need to further monitor resistance evolution during the implementation of tick control programs.
Friction resistance between edgewise brackets and archwires
Authors: Ho Kuat Shiun , West Victor C.
Published: January 2024

This study quantified the dynamic frictional force encountered when TMA, Orthonol and multistranded stainless steel archwires were pulled a distance of 2mm through ceramic and stainless steel brackets. The current literature is inadequate and incomplete, for example, no data was found on rectangular multistranded archwires. The following factors were investigated: archwire material, archwire size, archwire-to-bracket angulation, bracket material, archwire and bracket slot surface roughness and lubrication in the form of artificial saliva. A total of 156 different combinations were investigated. A universal testing machine was used to pull the ligated archwires through the brackets, and record the friction. A four way analysis of variance with one nesting (archwire size) was carried out on 1,560 measurements to assess the results. All factors and interactions tested were significant in determining friction. Friction was found to increase with: archwire angulation and archwire size (exceptions were seen in some TMA archwires). Friction decreased with lubrication. There was a definite relationship between friction and archwire and bracket material. There was no definite relationship between archwire surface roughness and friction. Highest friction was observed with ceramic bracket and TMA archwire. The range of friction was 1.02 to 9.95 Newtons. The magnitude of the friction recorded is substantially larger than the forces applied in orthodontic movement clinically. It is proposed that the values recorded should be utilised as a means of comparing the effects of different factors, rather than for the quantification of friction in vivo.
