Mobility is one of the major challenges for visually impaired individuals in their daily activities. Visual impairments make it difficult for them to detect obstacles around them, increasing the risk of injury. This study aims to design and develop a smart stick based on ESP32, equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, to assist the mobility of visually impaired people. The system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect the distance of objects and provides early warnings to users through a buzzer, with varying rhythms depending on the proximity of objects. The research methodology includes system design and development of hardware and software, as well as direct testing on visually impaired users. The test results show that the system can detect obstacles with 95% accuracy at distances up to 200 cm, and provide appropriate responses based on the distance of detected objects. In addition, this prototype is energy-efficient, allowing for prolonged use without frequent recharging. This study provides a practical solution to enhance the independence and safety of visually impaired individuals in daily activities, with the potential for further development to improve detection accuracy and user comfort.

Coffee is an agricultural product highly favored by the majority of the Indonesian population. Coffee comes in various types, each with a distinct aroma. Currently, differentiating coffee types relies on conventional methods, using the human nose, which is shubjective and dependent on individual conditions. This approach is less effective. To address this, researcher have developed a machine learning based system using Arduino Mega 2560 as the microcontroller, gas sensor MQ4, MQ7, MQ135, as the aroma detection tools, and the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithm as the classification method. The results of this system can classify 5 types of coffee with an accuracy rate of 90%.

Street lighting is infrastructure that the community needs at night, as a support for improving the safety, comfort and security of motorists. Street lighting sometimes still does not comply with the standards determined by the National Standards Body 7391:2008, so sometimes it requires recalculation according to the standard requirements determined by the National Standards Body. Jalan Margomulyo Surabaya is an arterial road with a width of 11 meters and a length of 4000 meters. This road is an industrial and warehouse area which is passed by large trucks of cars, motorbikes and the surrounding community every day. The lighting on Jalan Margomulyo is still found to be less than optimal and there are still black spots at several points, so re-planning needs to be done to produce maximum lighting. On Jalan Margomulyo there are around 90 ornamental poles with 120 Watt LED lights. Which produces an average illumination of 13.9 lux and consumes energy of 129.6 Kwh/day. However, the results of the lights installed in the field produced an average illumination that was less than optimal, so re-planning was carried out using 150 Watt LED lights with an ornamental handlebar angle of 19.19 for 90 light points along the road, which would produce an average illumination of 19.09 lux, light intensity 1863.05 cd which is in accordance with the National Standards  7391:2008.

Finnish Romani during the 20th century
Authors: Granqvist Kimmo
Published: January 2025

This paper discusses the history of Finnish Romani during the 20th century. The 20th century was a period of decreasing use of Finnish Romani and internal language erosion, resulting in the co-existence of inflecting Romani retaining its morpho-syntactic framework, and a Para-Romani-like variety. Numerous attested changes in Finnish Romani were attributed to the contact of the speakers of Romani with Finnish. This paper is based on a corpus comprising most written documents of Finnish Romani from the 20th century, comprising religious texts, textbooks, wordlists and dictionaries. This paper follows the theoretical framework as commonly used in European and Finnish Romani Linguistics during the 1990s and 2000s. Starting points for explaining language variation and change are functional-typological. The focus is on language-internal changes, innovations vs. conservative features, as well as on contact-induced changes. In addition, this paper deals with variation and linguistic attrition, which characterized Finnish Romani of the 20th century. This paper shows that tendencies of language-internal change both simplified the language structure and significantly increased the amount of linguistic variation. The paper also shows that matter replication is later and occurs more rarely in FR than pattern replication.

MULHERES NA ARTE: DE ARTEMÍSIA DE GENTILESCHI À CONTEMPORANEIDADE
Authors: Luz Maria de Lourdes , Palmerston Virgínia
Published: January 2025

Uma reflexão bastante pertinente para os dias atuais é sobre a divisão que fazemos entre o lugar do homem e da mulher na sociedade, fenômeno que também ocorre na arte, tema que apresentaremos neste artigo. O fato de não haver muitos registros, não quer dizer que as artistas mulheres teriam sido menores ou inferiores, ou ainda que suas contribuições fossem menos significativas do que a dos homens, porém importa ressaltar que a História, até bem pouco tempo, foi escrita por homens. As artistas mulheres tiveram que transpor várias barreiras e a primeira delas foi a questão educacional. O artigo retrata um fazer feminino que acompanha as conquistas da mulher ao longo dos séculos, no universo da arte, saindo de um espaço doméstico e atingindo as demais instâncias da sociedade, por meio de temáticas ligadas à política, ao meio ambiente, à educação, à cultura, entre outras.

Published: January 2025

O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar os níveis de insatisfação corporal, de atividade física e de sentimentos depressivos do público feminino jovem adulto, com idade entre 19 – 25 anos, residentes da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Esse estudo se caracteriza como transversal descritiva. Nessa pesquisa, foi criado um formulário no Google Forms contendo três questionários (IPAQ, BDI e BSQ), disponibilizado por duas semanas e divulgado através das redes sociais. Tivemos uma amostra de 28 mulheres, obtendo os seguintes resultados: Em relação ao BDI, 71,43% (n = 20) apresentaram algum nível de sintomas de depressão. No BSQ, 51,14% (n = 16) da amostra demonstrou sentir insatisfação corporal em diferentes níveis. O IPAQ - versão curta revelou que 50% da população tinha um nível "Baixo" de atividade, 25% apresentavam atividade "Moderada" e 25% atividade "Alta". Com isso, metade das participantes tinha níveis insuficientes de atividade física, o que poderia estar correlacionado a uma prevalência significativa de sintomas de depressão e insatisfação corporal na amostra. Esses resultados destacam a necessidade de intervenções abrangentes para promover uma imagem corporal positiva, conscientização sobre saúde mental e a importância da atividade física para o bem-estar.

Dans l'œil de l'Obvia - La cyberdiplomatie au service de la cybersécurité
Authors:   Observatoire international sur les impacts sociétaux de l'intelligence artificielle et du numérique
Published: January 2025

À l’ère du numérique, les cybermenaces sont devenues omniprésentes et des acteurs malveillants, étatiques et non étatiques, ciblent les gouvernements, les infrastructures essentielles, les entreprises et les institutions canadiennes et québécoises. La cyberdiplomatie est une des réponses à la transformation numérique et à l’interconnectivité accrue qui font de la cybersécurité un enjeu de sécurité nationale. Le pouvoir des États est toutefois limité par le droit international et la difficulté d'identifier avec certitude les auteurs d'un acte commis dans le cyberdomaine. Dû à sa nature transnationale, le cyberespace relève du commun global, au même titre que la haute mer, les espaces aériens et l’espace. Les États ne peuvent donc pas y revendiquer ou exercer leur souveraineté et ils doivent mettre en place une approche internationale stratégique en matière de cybersécurité pour assurer leur sécurité nationale. La cyberdiplomatie devient ainsi un outil pour défendre et promouvoir les intérêts de l’État face aux enjeux du numérique à l’international et ultimement limiter, atténuer et révenir les cybermenaces à la sécurité nationale et internationale.

Road safety for fleets of vehicles
Authors: Dionne Georges , Desjardins Denise , Angers Jean Francois
Published: January 2025

Road safety for fleets of vehicles has been neglected in the insurance literature, mainly because appropriate data and methodology were not available. This article makes a threefold contribution: 1) Produce statistics on current fleets’ road safety offences and accidents using a panel of 20 years of data on truck fleets; 2) relate fleets’ offences to accidents; and 3) identify and classify the riskiest fleets for insurance ratemaking based on past experience in managing road safety. Our main technical innovation to the insurance literature is in the estimation of fleets’ distributions of accidents. For each fleet size (or group of sizes), we estimate the parameters of the negative binomial (NB) distribution of the annual number of accidents according to the characteristics of the fleets, the years, and the number of driver (DRV) and carrier (CAR) road safety violations accumulated in the previous year. When the NB model does not accurately predict the mathematical expectation of the number of accidents of larger fleets, we proceed in two steps. First, we estimate the probability of having zero accidents in a year, and then estimate the negative binomial distribution using the estimated probability of having zero accidents, to weight the zeros of each fleet. To achieve our third objective, we construct risk classes for the vehicle fleets using the predicted accident probabilities obtained from the estimated models. Our results show a substantial heterogeneity between fleets in terms of road safety. This information should be very useful for optimal insurance pricing and better incentives for road safety.
Reviving historical roots: Integrating the science of agriculture into bourbon tourism
Authors: Volk Nicole , Specht Annie , Bowling Amanda
Published: January 2025

Though the bourbon industry has historical and economic ties to the agriculture industry, there is little documentation of the relationship between the two industries or agriculture’s importance to bourbon. To determine its suitability for teaching adult learners about agriculture, a qualitative, comparative case study was conducted at three Kentucky-based distilleries. Ranging in distillery size, production capacity, ownership structures, and more, distillery employees provided their perspectives on the relationship between bourbon and agriculture and its importance in their operations. Participants agreed that the bourbon industry is inherently tied to the agriculture industry and agricultural products were critical to shaping the unique flavors of their products. Through on-site field observations, researchers observed the inclusion of agriculture in current public-facing practices. Researchers recommend increased integration of agricultural topics on public-facing tours to highlight each distillery’s unique traits.
Colluding to conceal the co-operative difference? A discourse analytical study of Finnish S Group’s nationwide price-drop campaign
Authors: Puusa Anu , Saastamoinen Sanna
Published: January 2025

In 2015, consumer retailer S-ryhmä (S Group), the biggest co-operative group in Finland, launched a nationwide operation to cut the prices of hundreds of consumer products. The operation became national news with lengthy discussions on various forums. This article analyses those discussions via the lens of two significant Finnish newspapers. Using a discourse analytical approach, we argue that news discourses reflect dominant norms of private ownership; maximising profits as the primary purpose for businesses; and a presumptively competitive ethos for commercial life. In the S Group campaign, newspaper coverage largely reflected lack of knowledge or interest in co-operatives’ unique features. Consequently, we suggest newsroom reforms and journalism education that acknowledge the characteristics and purposes of different business forms would yield more meaningful representations of economic and social reality. School of journalism and in-service instruction in economic pluralism, including co-operative education, would thus advance journalism’s professional commitment to truth-seeking and robustly democratic self-governance. However, we note the active complicity of the co-operative federation in setting the news agenda, encouraging the framing of their actions as a simple price war. The extent to which co-operative communications strategies may de-emphasise their unique character and importance therefore needs to also be considered.

A Researcher’s Journey from Traditional Qualitative Methods to Tech-Driven Insights
Authors: Khuan Lee , Jamil Nurul Akma , Muda Siti Mariam
Published: January 2025

The integration of technology into qualitative research has revolutionised traditional methods, providing researchers with new opportunities and challenges. This paper compares the effectiveness, strengths, and limitations of traditional versus technology-based methods for recruiting participants, conducting interviews, and transcribing data, based on the personal experiences of the researchers. The findings reveal that while traditional face-to-face interviews enable deeper personal interaction and richer data collection, they are often time-consuming and logistically challenging. In contrast, technology-based methods offer increased accessibility, efficiency, and flexibility, particularly when recruiting participants and conducting interviews among geographically dispersed populations. However, these methods may compromise the depth of data due to the challenges of maintaining non-verbal cues and transcription accuracy, particularly when using automated transcription tools. This paper recommends a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of both methods. Best practices for using technology in qualitative research are proposed to ensure the richness and contextual depth of the data while leveraging the benefits of modern tools.

Aplikasi Pendeteksi Kematangan Tanaman Menggunakan Metode Transformasi Ruang Warna HSI (Hue, Saturation, Intensity) dan K-NN (K- Nearest Neighbor)
Authors: Hidra Amnur  , Vadreas Andrew Kurniawan , Ridwan M.
Published: January 2025

Tomatoes and chili peppers are essential commodities in the agricultural and food industry, playing a crucial role in nutritional diversity and flavor in human diets. Identifying the ripeness of these fruits is a critical step in the food supply chain, yet it is often done manually by directly observing the ripeness of chilies and tomatoes, which is time-consuming and susceptible to observer subjectivity. Therefore, a system that can identify the ripeness of tomatoes and chili peppers is needed. This system implements the HSI color space extraction method and the K-NN method. K-NN can classify plants based on colors extracted using the HSI color space, which includes three dimensions: Hue (H), Saturation (S), and Intensity (I). The research results in a model from the tomato and chili pepper dataset with an accuracy of 92% and a data split ratio of 80%:20%. This model is implemented in web and mobile formats, expected to efficiently and accurately identify the ripeness of tomatoes and chili peppers. This can help farmers determine the optimal harvest time, improve agricultural production and quality, and provide more reliable information in the food supply chain

A study of non-native accent correction techniques combining phonetics, machine learning and biomechanics
Authors: Wei Yanziye
Published: January 2025

This study provides an in-depth discussion of non-native accent correction techniques, combining phonological principles with insights from biomechanics and machine learning algorithms. By examining the physical aspects of speech production, such as articulatory movements and vocal tract dynamics, the research highlights how biomechanical factors influence the pronunciation characteristics of non-native speakers. The study reports on the current state of the art in accent correction technology, detailing how biomechanical analysis can enhance the understanding of speech patterns and contribute to more effective correction techniques. Experimental investigations verify the effectiveness of these methods across different language contexts, demonstrating significant improvements in pronunciation accuracy, fluency, and user satisfaction. By incorporating biomechanical principles, this research provides a new theoretical basis and technical support for the field of non-native accent correction, which is of positive significance for the promotion of cross-cultural communication, as they address the physical challenges faced by non-native speakers in articulating sounds specific to different languages.

Published: January 2025

Il lavoro di ricerca si è proposto di contribuire alla pianificazione ambientale ed ecologica per il masterplan di ricostruzione della città di Mykolaiv, in Ucraina. Il processo è iniziato definendo le caratteristiche ambientali del sito utilizzando i dati acquisiti dai satelliti Sentinel, liberamente scaricabili dal portale Copernicus ONDA-DIAS e poi geoprocessati per poter ottenere le più recenti informazioni relative all’uso e copertura del suolo, all’impermeabilizzazione e al Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Tale operazione di accesso, scarico ed elaborazione di dati satellitari ha consentito di gestire in maniera autonoma e rapida, la ricostruzione di un quadro di indicatori di base che fosse in grado di rappresentare la qualità ecologico-ambientale della città prima del suo bombardamento e creare, pertanto, un benchmark utile per definire i target in fase di ricostruzione post-bellica. Dopo aver effettuato varie analisi degli ecosistemi e condotto un’approfondita analisi del territorio di Mykolaiv, è stato preparato un elaborato utile a supportare il disegno di una infrastruttura verde.
Retrieval of Entrapped Embolic Protection Device during Carotid Artery Stenting: A Case Report
Authors: Fan Gaoyang , Ma Wenyuan , Su Chunhai , Feng Lei , Guo Wenwen
Published: January 2025

AIM: This study aims to report a rare case of an embolization protection device (EPD) entrapment during Carotid Artery Stent (CAS) and to discuss the management strategy, including open surgery and concurrent carotid endarterectomy (CEA). 
CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old female presented with left limb weakness and unclear speech following CAS. Imaging revealed a new cerebral infarction and right internal carotid artery stenosis. The patient underwent endovascular retrieval of the entrapped EPD, which failed, leading to an emergency open surgical procedure. 
RESULTS: The surgical approach involved a longitudinal incision along the anterior border of the right sternocleidomastoid muscle, followed by carotid artery exposure and temporal artery clamps application. The entrapped EPD and stent were successfully retrieved, and the thrombus was aspirated. Subsequent endarterectomy removed the stenotic plaque, and meticulous washing cleared the carotid arteries. Post-operative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography confirmed patency of the arteries, and the patient was discharged without new neurological symptoms after 11 days of hospitalization. 
CONCLUSIONS: This case underscores the challenges in managing EPD entrapment during CAS and the necessity for a swift transition to open surgical intervention when endovascular techniques fail. The concurrent performance of CEA in such cases offers a comprehensive treatment strategy, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in complex vascular interventions.
A Study on Endometrial Polyps Recurrence Post-Hysteroscopic Resection: Identification of Influencing Factors and Development of a Predictive Model
Authors: Wang Zhuomin , Sun Tao , Xu Jian
Published: January 2025

AIM: This study aimed to explore influencing factors and develop a predictive model of endometrial polyps (EP) recurrence after hysteroscopic resection. 
METHODS: This retrospective study included 180 patients who underwent hysteroscopic resection for EP between January 2021 to December 2023. The patients were divided into a modeling group (n = 135) and a validation group (n = 45) in a 3:1 ratio. The patients in the modeling group were further divided into a recurrence group (n = 35) and a non-recurrence group (n = 100) based on whether their polyps recurred. General information on patients was compared between the two groups. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing EP recurrence post-hysteroscopic resection. A predictive model was developed, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the clinical utility of the model. 
RESULTS: Comparison of baseline characteristics between the modeling and validation groups showed no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). However, 35 patients in the modeling group had recurrence, while 12 patients experienced recurrence in the validation group. Binary logistics regression analysis revealed matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) as independent predictors for polyp recurrence (p < 0.05). Furthermore, a model formula, p = eZ/1 + eZ, was developed. The slope of the calibration curve of this model in both groups were straight lines close to 1, indicating that the model's predicted recurrence risk strongly agreed with the actual risk. ROC analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve in the modeling group was 0.902, with standard error of 0.028 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.885–0.954). The model yielded the Youden value of 0.79, with a sensitivity of 82.96% and a specificity of 95.66%. Moreover, the area under the curve in the validation group was 0.871, with a standard error of 0.040 (95% CI: 0.859–0.920). However, the model showed the Youden value of 0.59, with a sensitivity of 79.29% and a specificity of 79.96%. The Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) demonstrated significant clinical advantages of the model. 
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified the influencing factors of EP recurrence and successfully constructed a predictive model based on these factors. After validation, the model demonstrates significant clinical utility.
