Efficient CAPTCHA Image Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memory Networks
Authors:   Computational Intelligence, School of Computing, SRMIST, Challagundla Bhavith Chandra
Published: March 2024

This research paper presents a novel approach to CAPTCHA image recognition using a hybrid deep learning model combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTMs). CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) systems are widely employed to differentiate between human users and bots in online applications, ensuring security and preventing automated attacks. The purpose of this study is to develop an efficient and accurate CAPTCHA recognition system capable of handling complex and distorted CAPTCHA images commonly used on websites. The methodology involves preprocessing CAPTCHA images, including cropping and resizing, followed by feature extraction using CNNs to capture spatial patterns and structures. The extracted features are then fed into LSTMs to model temporal dependencies and sequence information, enabling the model to recognize characters in the CAPTCHA image. The proposed model is trained and evaluated using a dataset consisting of various CAPTCHA images sourced from online platforms. The main results demonstrate the effectiveness of the CNN-LSTM hybrid approach in accurately recognizing characters within CAPTCHA images. The model achieves high accuracy rates in deciphering distorted and noisy CAPTCHA images, outperforming baseline models and existing state-of-the-art methods. Additionally, the model exhibits robustness to variations in CAPTCHA designs and backgrounds, making it suitable for real-world applications requiring robust CAPTCHA recognition.

FUNCTIONAL NOTIONAL TYPES OF SPONTANEOUS SPEECH IN SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETING
Authors: KONURBAEV M.E. , GANEEVA E.R.
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the mechanisms of generation and functioning of spontaneous speech and their influence on the interpreter’s spontaneous speech during simultaneous interpreting. The subject of the research is spontaneous speech in simultaneous interpretation, the object of research is functional notional types of oral speech which serve as the foundation for the algorithm of expressing the main idea of the message. Depending on the functional notional type of spontaneous speech that can be considered as the dominant one in the source message, the interpreter faces different challenges. Following the original message too closely may lead to an abundance of self-corrections, repetitions, slips of the tongue in the interpreter’s spontaneous speech, which, together with confusing syntactic constructions, make it difficult for the audience to understand the target message. Interpreting simultaneously at a higher cognitive level within the model of comparative cognitive transformations, which takes into account algorithms of expressing the main idea, the interpreter can produce a more coherent and smooth spontaneous speech in the target language based on the cognitive essence as a result of thought transformation of the original message. Pragmatic orientation of spontaneous speech predetermines methods of compression as a tool of pragmatic adaptation of the original message within the cognitive pragmatic circle of oral communication, which can be extrapolated to different functional styles of speech and types of discourse.

Divisive Discourse on the 2019–2020 Climate Change Effects among Tanzanian Stakeholders
Authors: Keya Antoni
Published: March 2024

Promoting climate change discourses may potentially create a useful space for addressing the effects of climate change in Tanzania. During disasters such as floods, everyone obfuscates their agency and blames the other for causing climate change effects. This paper examines the discourse of climate change among scientists, government officials, and the non-scientific Tanzanian stakeholders on climate change and adaptation strategies after the 2019-2020 effects. These actors obfuscate responsibilities and attribute blame on the other for accelerating climate change effects. This paper examines how these attributions contribute to enhancing resilience and adaptation strategies. The paper was theoretically guided by the divided subject and positioning theories. Data for this paper were gathered from YouTube covering the subject. The results suggest that while none of the actors accepts responsibility for accelerating climate change; “what is happening and what should be done” gradually turn into “who is responsible for the mess”. Divisive discourse like this is likely to keep Tanzania wobbling to create a resilient society to confront the challenges of climate change. The paper raises the need for the facilitation of a better communication between climate change science and the non-scientific audience.

Chinese Among Others
Authors: Kuhn Philip A.
Published: March 2024

In this book, distinguished historian Philip A. Kuhn tells the remarkable five-century story of Chinese emigration as an integral part of China's modern history. Although emigration has a much longer past, its "modern" phase dates from the sixteenth century, when European colonialists began to collaborate with Chinese emigrants to develop a worldwide trading system. The author explores both internal and external migration, complementary parts of a far-reaching process of adaptation that enabled Chinese families to deal with their changing social environments. Skills and institutions developed in the course of internal migration were creatively modified to serve the needs of emigrants in foreign lands.

As emigrants, Chinese inevitably found themselves "among others." The various human ecologies in which they lived have faced Chinese settlers with a diversity of challenges and opportunities in the colonial and postcolonial states of Southeast Asia, in the settler societies of the Americas and Australasia, and in Europe. Kuhn traces their experiences worldwide alongside those of the "others" among whom they settled: the colonial elites, indigenous peoples, and rival immigrant groups that have profited from their Chinese minorities but also have envied, feared, and sometimes persecuted them. A rich selection of primary sources allows these protagonists a personal voice to express their hopes, sorrows, and worldviews.

The post-Mao era offers emigrants new opportunities to leverage their expatriate status to do business with a Chinese nation eager for their investments, donations, and technologies. The resulting "new migration," the author argues, is but the latest phase of a centuries-old process by which Chinese have sought livelihoods away from home.
Preventive Conservation for Historic House Museums
Authors: Merritt Jane , Reilly Julie A.
Published: March 2024

Preventive Conservation for Historic House Museums is a primer on the preventive care practices that these unique sites need to slow the rate of deterioration and prevent damage and wear to the property and its collections. It proposes a collaborative approach to preservation planning that is based on interdisciplinary research, critical thinking, and observation rather than rote maintenance schedules and everyday residential cleaning practices. The authors recommend that sites have documents and plans in place that direct the intellectual and physical control of the collections and site. The intellectual controls include administrative and management policies and procedures; the physical controls include security and safety precautions, routine maintenance and cleaning practices among others. Historic house administrators, staff, board members, and volunteers will find this volume indispensable. Professionals who deal with historic sites from the museum administrator or curator, to architect, to engineer, as well as students pursuing studies in the field of preservation and conservation will also find this a valuable reference. This volume promotes a pro-active approach to preservation planning for historic sites and their collections.
Perspective Chapter: Maximizing Energy Collection from Nonlinear Harvesting System through Optimization and Control Techniques with Induced Time Delays
Authors: Ghouli Zakaria
Published: March 2024

This investigation explores the utilization of periodic and Quasi-Periodic (QP) vibrations for Energy Harvesting (EH) in a delayed nonlinear oscillator system. The system consists of a delayed Duffing-van der Pol oscillator and a delayed piezoelectric coupling medium, with a focus on the occurrence of delay parametric resonance. This occurs when the frequency of the delay width modulation in the mechanical component is close to twice the oscillator’s natural frequency. The double-step stress system is used to approximate the QP delay width, which is then harnessed for power generation. The results suggest that only periodic vibration can be used for energy harvesting with small, unmodulated delay width in the mechanical component. However, larger values result in instability of periodic vibration, and only QP vibration can be used for better performance. The impact of delay in the electrical circuit on the performance of periodic and quasi-periodic vibration-based EH is also analyzed, and it is found that suitable values of delay and delay frequency in the electrical component can improve energy harvesting performance within a specific range of parameters. These findings are supported by numerical simulations.

Published: March 2024

Background: Up-to-date methods of root canal obturation applying gutta-percha do not provide an accurate and predictable result. The different anatomy of the root canal apical third requires the selection of an optimal method that avoids voids and high sealer content. This study compared standard and modified lateral compaction techniques in root canals with different morphologies using computed tomography. Objective: To come up with an optimal method for filling the apical third of the root canal, considering its anatomical structure and to evaluate the quality of obturation using the computed tomography method. Materials and methods: The research was performed on 46 root canals of extracted teeth. All teeth were divided into two groups depending in the obturation technique used. The study included a lateral compaction technique with modification in oval-shaped root canals, followed by control using computed tomography. Results: Basing on the study, it has been revealed that even at the stage of computed tomography it is possible to plan the most appropriate method of root canal obturation, depending on their shape. Conclusion: To increase the endodontic treatment efficiency it is necessary to take into account the individual anatomical and morphological structure of the root canals. Root canals that have an oval shape in the apical third may require an obturation technique different from a standard one.

Published: March 2024

Mistake based on Article 562 of the Civil Code, that is considered as a defect of will in contracts, is also of special importance in marriage. Mistake in a marriage contract is a wrong perception of the fact that one of the parties to the contract is related to the physical, civil, or character identity of the other party; Therefore, it is considered necessary to investigate the mistake in the marriage contract and its impacts. In the present research, an attempt has been made to study, using the library method, document productivity and in a qualitative, descriptive and analytical way, the mistake in the character of the parties to the marriage contract and its effects in the legal system of Afghanistan; Therefore, the answere of the question is, whether the wrong perception of reality harms the validity of the marriage or not and what impacts does it have? The findings of the research show that the mistake in the marriage and its effects are as following: the mistake in the physical and civil identity, which forms the basis and foundation of the marriage, disrupts the nature and centrality of the marriage and causes the marriage contract is nullity. A mistake in the basic attributes, which is caused by the mistaker himself or in the form of manipulation, constitutes an important part of the marriage, and creates the right of termination for the mistaker. A mistake in the direction and motivation does not affect the validity of the marriage contract
Mysticism as Counter-Conduct
Authors: Elmore Matthew ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2024

This essay draws upon Dante and St. Catherine of Siena to flesh out the Foucauldian concept of counter-conduct. Dante and Catherine occupy an important place in early modern history, challenging the designs of medieval pastoral power by embodying a new, secular mixture of the active and the contemplative life. This essay, with Foucault as a guide, suggests that they offer us another way to be modern, a path of self-cultivation surpassing modern norms for nature, the self, and the project of rational knowledge.
James Baldwin as a Preface to Christian Ethics
Authors: Yin Peng ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2024

Christian ethics stands to benefit from its critics. I argue that James Baldwin should be placed among Ludwig Feuerbach, David Hume, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Nietzsche as a salutary preface to Christian ethics, especially in his reflections on race and sexuality. Together these figures underscore some characteristic damages of some Christian beliefs. I show Baldwin’s astute treatment of Christianity in four distinctive voices and suggest the recovery of genres, the appreciation for recent achievements and unfinished tasks in the field, the vigilance about ambivalent ethical implications inherent in Christian doctrine (such as eudaimonism and providentialism), and the unsentimental affective preparation as pedagogical gains of including Baldwin in Christian ethics syllabi.
Correlating Cyberchondria and Health Anxiety: Demographic Insights from Stable Asthma Patients
Authors: Durak Büşra , Erdoğan Kaya Ayşe
Published: March 2024

Objective: With the increasing ubiquity of internet, the phenomenon of cyberchondria is becoming progressively widespread in today's digital society. This study investigates the correlation between health anxiety and cyberchondria severity and evaluates the influence of demographic factors in stable asthma patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study incorporated a sample of 51 patients with stable asthma. Sociodemographic data were systematically documented, and participants completed the Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI) and Cyberchondria Severity Scale-12 (CSS-12). Data analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics v.22, Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses were employed to investigate relationships between variables, and multivariate linear regression was used to identify potential predictors of health anxiety.
Results: The sample primarily consisted of female (76.5%) and married (74.5%) individuals with a mean age of 41.47 years (SD:12.92). Smokers reported higher median scores in health anxiety compared to non-smokers, with a significant difference (p=0.023), while no significant difference in cyberchondria severity was seen across smoking statuses (p=0.380). A moderate positive correlation between health anxiety and cyberchondria severity scores was also identified (r=0.415, p=0.002). The regression analysis indicated that together, cyberchondria severity, smoking status, and education level accounted for a significant proportion of the variance in health anxiety scores (Adjusted R^2:0.374, p<0.001).
Conclusion: The study establishes a connection between health anxiety and cyberchondria severity in patients with stable asthma. The results suggest that health interventions targeting modifiable factors could be beneficial in reducing health anxiety within this patient group.

Published: March 2024

New generation molecular approaches and methods are being developed to identify species and determine species boundaries. There are many different approaches of species delimitation used to assess the species richness of poorly studied and highly diverse invertebrate taxa. The basis of these approach is DNA barcoding studies. DNA barcoding has been used as a powerful tool for species identification and delimitation. Although DNA barcoding studies have been carried out on the family Tenthredinidae, there are no studies on species delimitation. Herein, we compare species delimitation analyzes belong to Dolerus genus based on cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) region. In this context, it was used five species delimitation approaches (ABGD, ASAP, DNA Taxon, PTP and GMYC). Thirty-six morphotypes were used in the study. These morphotypes separated into six species (Dolerus triplicatus, Dolerus germanicus, Dolerus puncticollis, Dolerus nigratus, Dolerus sp1 and Dolerus sp2) in ABGD, ASAP and DNA Taxon approaches. Two additional species were introduced because of the tree-based PTP and GMYC approaches. These species were named as Dolerus sp3 and Dolerus sp4 which were separated from Dolerus puncticollis clade and Dolerus nigratus clade, respectively. These analyzes were supported by the phylogenetic tree and CBC entities that constitute the ITS2 data.
A comparative study on the estimation of ultimate bearing capacity of rock masses using finite element and limit equilibrium methods
Authors: Koltuk Serdar
Published: March 2024

Most rock masses are excellent foundation materials due to their bearing capacities of MPa. However, the ultimate bearing capacity of rock masses should be accurately estimated in the design of structures with high foundation loads. In this study, the ultimate bearing capacities of a strip footing built on rock masses with different geotechnical properties are determined using the finite element method (FEM) and the failure criterion of Hoek & Brown. The results of FE-analyses are compared to those obtained from the limit equilibrium methods (LEM) in the literature. It has been shown that the FEM with associated flow rule and Terzaghi`s limit equilibrium method give similar failure surfaces for most cases, and the ratio of ultimate bearing capacities determined according to the Terzaghi´s method to FEM varies between 1.5 and 4. In cases, in which the failure surfaces obtained from both methods differ, this ratio can rise up to 11.aring capacities determined according to the Terzaghi´s method to FEM varies between 1.5 and 4. In cases, in which the failure surfaces obtained from both methods differ, this ratio can rise up to 11.

Published: March 2024

Objective: To investigate the risk factors of hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) in the early stage after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: Patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2021 to June 2023 were selected. According to the results of four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT), patients were divided into HALT group and non-HALT group. The perioperative data of the two groups were collected to find the risk factors of HALT in the early postoperative period. Results: A total of 100 patients underwent TAVI operation via femoral artery, 2 died after operation, 1 discharged due to cerebral complication, and 2 patients had incomplete 4DCT data. The data of 95 patients were completely collected, including 56 males and 39 females, with an average age of (72.0 ± 6.7) years and a body mass index of (24.0 ± 3.7) kg/m2. 10 patients had HALT, the incidence was 10.5%. 85 patients were in the non-HALT group, including 52 males (61.2%). 10 patients were in the HALT group, 4 cases were male (40%). There were no significant differences in age, sex, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), brain complications, coronary heart disease, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and operation time between the two groups. And the differences between the two groups in perioperative white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and creatinine were not significant. Compared with the non-HALT group, patients in the HALT group had a higher proportion of isolated aortic insufficiency, a lower proportion of post dilatation after valve release, and a higher proportion of valves with skirts. Conclusion: Isolated aortic insufficiency, without post dilatation after valve release, and use of valves with skirt are associated with early HALT after transfemoral TAVI.

Soil-rock mixtures are multiphase natural geological materials composed of mineral particles of multiple grain sizes, and have significant natural characteristics of multiscale material groups. In order to investigate the shear strength characteristics and deformation failure characteristics of soil-rock mixtures with multiple grain sizes under in-situ conditions in fill engineering, samples of soil-rock mixtures with multiple grain sizes under in-situ conditions were prepared, and large-scale in-situ direct shear tests were conducted under natural and water-soaked conditions. The test results showed that the shear strength of soil-rock mixtures is relatively high, and after saturated by water immersion, its shear strength decreases significantly, mainly manifested in the decrease of internal friction angle while the cohesion remains basically unchanged. The cohesion of soil-rock mixtures with multiple grain sizes is mainly provided by the shear-breaking cohesion of coarse particles such as gravel in the soil-rock mixture, and its degree of exertion is controlled by the grading characteristics and particle morphology of the soil-rock mixture and affected by constraints. The reason for the significant decrease in shear strength of soil-rock mixtures with multiple grain sizes after water-soaked saturation can be explained as follows: the clay film covering the surface of coarse particles becomes soft after water immersion, resulting in a significant decrease in the sliding friction resistance between coarse particles and the clay film, as well as the occlusion friction resistance generated by the rotation transfer between coarse particles through the clay film interface.

Congenital heart disease due to ventricular septal defect is a serious congenital defect, most of the time, and although exceptional, it can also be acquired after rupture of the interventricular septum in an acute myocardial infarction. The objective was to manage the nursing care process in a post-operative preschool patient. The study had a qualitative approach, single case type, the methodology was the nursing care process, the assessment stage was carried out through the assessment framework of Maryori Gordon's 11 functional patterns, the diagnostic stage was developed based on To taxonomy II of NANDA I, nursing diagnoses were identified, prioritizing three of them: Decreased cardiac output, ineffective tissue perfusion and dysfunctional ventilatory response to weaning according to the SSPFR format (signs and symptoms, problem, related factor/risk factor/ associated to); Likewise, the planning stage was carried out taking into account the NOC Taxonomy, NIC, in the execution stage the care was administered and the evaluation was given by the difference in final and baseline scores respectively. A change score of +1, 0, +1 was obtained in the results. In conclusion, the nursing care process for the patient was managed that allowed quality care to be provided to the patient

Sepsis is a complication resulting from an unbalanced immune response to an infectious focus. Abdominal sepsis is an inflammatory process of the peritoneum caused by pathogenic germs, localized or diffuse. Objective: Describe nursing care in the care of pediatric patients diagnosed with sepsis. Methodology: Qualitative research, single case type of study, executed with the nursing care process method (PAE), applying Marjory Gordon's assessment instrument to a 12-year-old male patient; Diagnoses and care planning were formulated according to the NANDA-I, NOC and NIC taxonomy; The evaluation was carried out taking into account the results of the difference in baseline and final scores, obtaining scores of +1 and +1. Results: Nine altered nursing diagnoses were identified, the main nursing diagnosis (00007) Hyperthermia r/c high metabolic rate m/p temperature of 39°, hot skin and tachycardia and the main CR of septic shock were prioritized. The nursing interventions were effective, the patient improved his thermoregulation problem and, given the CR risk of septic shock, the results are in the process of improvement.Conclusions: the clinical characteristics of the pediatric patient with a diagnosis of sepsis were identified, as well as the risk factors that could complicate health, nursing interventions and preventive care were classified and prioritized to reduce the risk of complications, based on the PAE. An individual care plan was developed that allowed him to progressively improve his health condition

Augmented reality (AR) has become a popular multidisciplinary research field in recent decades. Augmented reality adds to the subject's real-world sensory information through computer-generated sound, text, and graphics that are projected into the user's natural visual and auditory fields to provide a real-time interactive experience in a common environment. A bibliographic review was carried out with the objective of updating the current state of the use of augmented reality in physical rehabilitation. Augmented reality systems consist of a user interface that offers a motivational component to patients to perform exercises, distracting them from the potential pain they may feel during exercises. Additionally, they can be implemented in the patient's home and eliminate frequent visits to rehabilitation clinics. Among the most used systems are ARS, RehaBio, NeuroR, AR Fruit Ninja, MirrARbilitation, SleeveAR, ARIS and BRU. Its uses have been focused mainly on post-surgical orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation in patients with strokes. Augmented reality offers significant benefits over in-person rehabilitation and other technologies such as virtual reality, which can speed up the recovery process and improve patients' quality of life

Violence against women is an obstacle to achieving equality, equity, development, peace and social participation. It is multidimensional so its response must be global, systemic and holistic from prevention, assistance and protection to recovery. A descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional research was designed in the period from January to December 2023, in Villa 1 Popular Zone, in Consolation del Sur Municipality, Pinar del Río Province, where a group of women victims has been identified of domestic violence. The general objective was aimed at analyzing the perception that women who are victims of domestic violence have about the suffered violence. The population was made up of 40 women who demanded specialized care, to which an anonymous psychosocial survey was applied. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical package. Outstanding results were obtained such as: in the studied women, young adults predominated, with partners, a high level of education, with or without a work relationship, from the urban area, the nuclear family predominated, being the aggressor the current partner, jealousy was the cause of abuse and its obvious link to alcohol. The most frequent type of violence was psychological or emotional. It reacts with more violence in the response of the victims, it was related to ingestion of alcoholic beverages and they told her that they should report and seek help. A Community Intervention Program is proposed
