Deep learning-based video surveillance system for suspicious activity detection
Authors: Hanief Wani Mohd , Faridi Arman Rasool
Published: October 2024

The need for reliable video surveillance systems to detect and prevent suspicious activities has become more important with the increase in crime and security threats. This paper proposes a real-time video surveillance system based on the Long-term Recurrent Convolutional Network (LRCN) model, which can automatically detect and alert the authority about suspicious activities, such as fighting, accidents, and robbery. Our system comprises two main components: LRCN-based activity recognition and real-time alert generation. We evaluated the performance of the proposed system on a custom dataset compiled from two publicly available datasets and achieved state-of-the-art results in terms of accuracy, precision, and recall. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of the LRCN-based video surveillance system for real-time suspicious activity detection. We believe that our proposed system can be deployed in various public places, such as airports, train stations, and shopping malls, to enhance the security and safety of the public.
Embryological Development of Anorectal Malformations: A Hypothesis
Authors: Levin Michael
Published: October 2024

The embryology of anorectal malformations (ARMs) remains largely speculative. While some authors suggest that ARMs arise from abnormal development of the cloaca, the embryonic cloaca never undergoes a stage that resembles any form of ARMs observed in neonates. In fact, certain claims made by clinicians contradict established scientific data.

The aim of this study, based on our own X-ray functional studies of the anorectal zone in both healthy individuals and those with ARMs, as well as an analysis of existing literature, is to propose a hypothesis of embryonic development for ARMs that aligns with reliable scientific data.

Results: The presence of a functioning anal canal in most patients, both with low and high types of ARMs, can be explained by the internal anal sphincter (IAS) migrating in a craniocaudal direction, creating an anal canal up to the subcutaneous layer opposite the anal fossa. When the IAS does not encounter the ectodermal rudiment, as evidenced by the absence of the anus, it deviates forward and upward, forming a narrow, rigid fistula. This process leads to the ectopic positioning of the anus on the perineum, vestibule, urethra, or vagina. What surgeons typically remove during the pull-through procedure, under the guise of excising a fistula, is actually a functioning anal canal. A short, rigid fistula forms in the wall of the organ through which the IAS penetrates. A thin, long, rigid fistula occurs when the IAS is displaced towards the root of the scrotum.

Unlike a true cloaca, a persistent cloaca develops due to the penetration of the IAS through the vaginal wall before a cavity has formed within the vagina. As a result, the IAS creates a narrow long fistula that, in some cases, obstructs the emptying of the upper part of the vagina, leading to hydrocolpos. These patients typically have a normally functioning bladder and urethra, and in some cases, a functioning anal canal has been documented. Poor outcomes are the result of unnecessary and mutilating surgeries.

It has also been demonstrated that what is often referred to as rectal atresia or stenosis is in the anal canal, approximately 1 cm from the anal verge. This anomaly likely arises from a failure in the breakdown of the membrane between the endodermal and ectodermal anal canal primordia in embryos with a length of 13.5-135 cm. The membrane can be excised via an anal approach, thereby preserving the anal canal. Embryology and anatomy of the so-called H-type ARM are presented. A classification of ARM has been proposed.

Conclusion: This hypothesis is presented for scientific discussion.

This systematic review aims to examine the nursing students' knowledge and related factors towards skin cancer. In order to conduct this comprehensive and review study, articles were searched from the earliest to April 1, 2023 using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as "knowledge", "skin cancer", and "nursing students" in various international electronic databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Persian electronic databases such as Iranmedex and Scientific Information Database. The appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies (AXIS tool) was used to evaluate the quality of the studies included in this article. In total, 2,841 nursing students participated in five cross-sectional studies. The average age of the students was 20.93 (SD=1.89). 78.07% of the students in this study were female. 19.70% of students had a history of skin cancer in their family member. The average nursing students' knowledge and related factors towards skin cancer was 14.78 (SD=2.68) out of 25 which suggests a moderate level of knowledge. Factors such as year of study, female gender, age, using cosmetics, using depilatory wax, using epilating appliance, skin cancer caused by sun exposure, and protection of information have a significant positive relationship with nursing students' knowledge about skin cancer. However, knowledge had a negative relationship with factors such as using shaving, having mole, and having swelling. Additionally, the factors of father education, place of residence, sunburn frequency, source information had a significant relationship with nursing students' knowledge about skin cancer. According to the results of this review, the knowledge of nursing students in skin cancer is moderate. Therefore, nursing professors may contribute to the development of nursing students' knowledge by providing an online or physical education platform related to skin cancer.

Drawing on both theoretical analyses and empirical data collected from educators and attendees at the Institute of In-Service Training, this study highlights the importance of a multimodal learning environment that caters to the diverse needs and preferences of learners. The findings underscore the value of cooperative learning, critical reflection, and interactive learning technologies in enhancing cognitive engagement and reducing learner fatigue. This research advocates for the adoption of multimodality as a natural component of lifelong learning, necessitating the redesign of educational frameworks to foster flexible, adaptive, and dynamic learning experiences. The study concludes by suggesting further exploration into the application of multimodal approaches in various educational settings, including those involving learners with special educational needs.
A Compressed Domain Robust Video Watermarking Resists Geometric Attack
Authors: Prof. Rutika Patel
Published: October 2024

The widespread utilization of mobile devices and the proliferation of video content, facilitated by communication networks, has unfortunately led to issues such as data piracy, illegal usage, and unauthorized sharing. To address these challenges, digital watermarking emerges as a crucial tool, serving purposes such as authentication, maintaining integrity, and identifying rightful owners. In the realm of video watermarking, two primary categories exist: watermarking in the compressed domain and watermarking in the uncompressed domain. Compressed domain watermarking involves expedited data processing through partial video decoding, whereas uncompressed domain watermarking requires more time. This article proposes a novel video watermarking methodology designed specifically to withstand geometric attacks. The proposed method aims to dynamically embed watermarks within video content, thereby enhancing resilience against various geometric distortions. Geometric attacks, including scaling, rotation, cropping, and translation, pose significant challenges in digital watermarking and are thus a focal point of this research. The objective is to integrate this approach with complex video coding standards, leveraging compression domain techniques to fortify resistance against geometric attacks. Tests show that the suggested video watermarking system works well. Not only does it excel in safeguarding against geometric attacks, but it also mitigates perceptual quality degradation, thus ensuring a balance between robustness and visual fidelity. As the prevalence of video content continues to grow, robust watermarking techniques like the one presented here play a vital role in preserving intellectual property rights and ensuring the integrity of multimedia content in the digital age.
Rompre le silence d’État. Des proches de disparus latino-américains témoignent cinquante ans après
Authors: Katz Muriel , Bourguignon Manon , Dermitzel Alice
Published: October 2024

La disparition forcée de personnes constitue une atteinte majeure aux droits humains. Privés d’informations officielles, les proches sont confrontés à un interdit de savoir. Ils sont durablement plongés dans l’incertitude, le doute, l’angoisse. L’enjeu de l’effacement systématique des crimes commis est double: semer la terreur dans la société civile et garantir, par tous les moyens, l’impunité des coupables. Lorsque les familles demandent des comptes aux représentants des institutions, leur doléances restent lettre morte. Quel est l’impact qu’a sur eux une telle perte dès lors qu’aucune information officielle ne confirme ce qui est arrivé à la personne disparue? Comment font-ils face aux questions qui restent en suspens, parfois des décennies durant? Cet ouvrage donne la parole à des proches de disparus latino-américains qui vivent en exil. Ils ont tous perdu un membre de leur famille lors de la répression politique orchestrée par les juntes militaires dans le cadre de l’opération Condor. La perspective est originale: deux générations de proches de disparus témoignent des multiples répercussions de ce drame sur leur vie personnelle, familiale et sociale. Abordés sous l’angle clinique, leurs propos permettent de mettre en évidence la portée interminable de ces crimes barbares.
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cold Joint Effects on Intermediate Concrete Moment Frame Under Cyclic Loading
Authors: Atashi Amir , Kalatjari Vahidreza , Zamani Beydokhti Ebrahim
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete flexural frames with a focus on the impact of cold joints (CJs). Three one-bay concrete frames, scaled to 2:3 according to ACI 318-19(22), were tested under axial and cyclic loading. The frames included a control frame without CJs, a frame with CJs, and a frame with CJs reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. Initially, the difference between the frame without CJs and the frame with CJs was examined, revealing a 10% reduction in cumulative energy dissipation, a 24% reduction in ductility, and an 18% reduction in lateral load capacity for the frame with CJs. Additionally, the stiffness in frames with CJs has decreased. Subsequently, the frame with CJs was reinforced with FRP sheets, leading to a 33% increase in cumulative energy dissipation and a 54% increase in lateral load capacity. However, the FRP sheets, while increasing load capacity, introduced brittleness, which reduced ductility. Crack patterns varied, with the frame without CJs showing vertical cracks near connections at 3% drifts, and the frame with CJs exhibiting tension and compression vertical cracks at 1% drifts. After validating the numerical models, two structural designs have been proposed to mitigate the negative effects of CJs in reinforced concrete structures. These designs are intended to improve seismic performance and enhance the structure's resistance to cyclic loads.

The calculated SPF value was 2.64.
On the role of text‑type related constructions in the emergence of Medieval Spanish impersonal active "se"
Authors: C. Wolfsgruber Anne
Published: October 2024

This article explores the reanalysis of passive "se" to impersonal active "se" in medieval stages of Spanish by analyzing three medieval legal texts. The data show that generic passive "se"‑sentences are almost exclusively found in subordinate environments in which "se" is normally forced into a pre‑verbal position. Within these context‑types, there are two that stand out: relative que constructions (lexical DP + "que" + "se" + verb) and sequences introduced by "commo" or "segun"(d/t) ("que") + "se" + verb without any lexical DP material to serve as a theme subject. The article argues that the high occurrence of the pre‑verbal clitic alignment and the loosened connection to (in "que" relatives) or dropping of lexical DPs (in "commo" or "segun"(d/t) ("que") structures) in medieval legal texts prove to have important implications for overall developments in the reanalysis and spread of impersonal active "se".
La crítica a la edición de 1884 del "Diccionario" de la Real Academia Española desde una óptica chilena
Authors: Bargalló Escrivà Maria
Published: October 2024

Research on the various editions of the Diccionario de la lengua española de la RAE (DRAE) has frequently highlighted the importance of the 12th edition, published in 1884. The incorporation of technical terms and etymologies has been highlighted, as well as the collaboration of various Spanish American language academies. The impact of this edition on the Iberian Peninsula at the time it appeared has been studied in some detail, but perhaps less emphasis has been placed on the reception of the work in Latin America. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyse some of these repercussions, paying special attention to the additions and amendments that the Chilean authors Miguel Luis Amunátegui and Miguel Luis Amunátegui Reyes proposed to that edition. Their considerations form part of a critical current with respect to the Academy’s dictionary which developed in Latin America in the last quarter of the 19th century, and of which the Peruvian Ricardo Palma was one of the most notable exponents.
Configuració sintàctica i estructura argumental dels verbs psicològics impersonals del llatí
Authors: Mateu Jaume , Royo Carles
Published: October 2024

Analitzem les oracions dels verbs psicològics impersonals del llatí que presenten una configuració sintàctica [Exp(erimentador)AC/Est(ímul)GEN]: "miseret, paenitet, piget, pudet, taedet". D’entrada, sembla que aquesta configuració no compleix alguns postulats teòrics clàssics, com ara el Principi de projecció ampliat (PPA) de Chomsky (1982) o la Generalització de Burzio (1986). Considerem que l’experimentador amb cas acusatiu té preeminència jeràrquica respecte de l’estímul amb cas genitiu: el primer és l’argument d’una predicació interna que té característiques de subjecte; el segon és un adjunt baix, modificador de l’estructura estativa. Proposem que són oracions causatives estatives (Matasović 2013) en què un pronom buit ocupa la posició de subjecte argument extern i puja a l’especificador del SFlex per satisfer el PPA. Defensem que és una estructura pròpia d’una llengua acusativa que compleix la Generalització de Burzio: el pronom que fa d’argument extern té propietats d’un A(mbient)‑Causer (Pesetsky 1995), mentre que l’experimentador rep cas acusatiu estructural.

The development of innovative activity of economicentities is one of the main objectives of the state policy.State instruments for support and development ofinnovation activity should provide support at all stagesof the innovation life cycle, from idea generation tosuccessful commercialisation of innovative products, andthe maximum effect will be achieved only taking intoaccount the integration of all participants of theinnovation process - from scientists and entrepreneursinnovatorsto venture funds and innovative enterprises.The innovation economy, based on scientific knowledgeand intellectual potential, is able to ensure the expandedreproduction of knowledge-intensive gross product ofboth the region and the country as a whole.
The development of innovation processes is impossiblewithout the generation of new ideas, knowledge, projectinitiation at the initial stages of the innovation cycle, andwithout the use of venture capital investments at the finalstages. This problem is most difficult to solve in theregions, due to significant differences in their socioeconomicdevelopment, level of competence of scientificschools, sectoral specifics, level of concentration ofindustrial potential, including due to insufficientjustification of the directions of further development ofregions - innovation leaders. In order to support subprocessesrelated to resource provision, regionalauthorities can, on the basis of budgetary resources, forminnovation infrastructure institutions, such as: businessincubators, business accelerators, seed funds,technoparks, etc.; finance various innovation projects;invest in the development of human and intellectualcapital - in education, for training personnel ininnovation management, breakthrough scientifictechnologies, in the part of personnel training of thehighest level.
At the same time, we need a promising model of longterminnovation development, which implies a gradualtransition from state to market-based instruments ofdevelopment and support of innovation activity,including innovation infrastructure functioning onmarket conditions.

Published: October 2024

This paper deal with the analysis of the relationship between acidity and alkalinity with organic carbon structure and humus components of tobacco-growing soils in Tengchong city. Under the same level of organic matter and nutrient content, soils with different pH values in Tengchong city were selected for the investigation. Results showed that the HA/FA values of the soil with low organic matter content gradually decreased with increasing pH, indicating a higher content of active carbon components and a lower content of stable carbon components in the soils. In soils with high organic matter content, pH value showed a highly significant negative correlation with HA/FA and PQ values. With increasing acidity, HA/FA became higher, and humus components with high stability increased. At the same level of organic matter content, the infrared A2920/A1630 ratio gradually increased with increasing pH. It indicates that at a certain pH range and the same level of organic matter content, the stable humus component increases, and the soil pH value decreases.

This study was envisaged to from fresh cow dung using the Congo red staining method, and screened by measuring their endoglucanase activity (CMC enzyme activity), exoglucanase activity (Cex enzyme activity), and filter paper enzyme activity (FPA enzyme activity). Subsequently, the molecular, morphological characteristics, and growth characteristics were studied. Three strains showed clear transparent circles on the Congo red cellulose medium. LY3 exhibited strong enzyme production ability, with relatively higher enzyme activity than the other two strains. LY3 was found to be a dominant strain that required a temperature of 40℃and pH 7.0 for optimal growth. Based on the molecular and  morphological characteristics, the three strains were preliminarily identified as Bacillus.

Published: October 2024

Cauliflower, scientifically known as Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L., is a highly adaptable vegetable that offers significant nutritional advantages and is cultivated to a varying extent in the Barishal region. An experiment was conducted in Banaripara Upazila, Barishal district, to inspect the selection of a suitable intercrop for cauliflower, with the goal of maximizing the usage of Sorjan bed space and increasing economic benefits for farmers. The study covered two consecutive years, specifically 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. The study included a combination of intercropping treatments, namely Cauliflower as sole crop (T1), Cauliflower + Red amaranth (T2), Cauliflower + coriander leaf (T3), Cauliflower + lettuce (T4), Cauliflower + radish leaf (T5) and Cauliflower + spinach (T6). A randomized complete block design with three replications was used to carry out the study, with treatment effects observed in 3×2.4 m2 of land units. The cauliflower seeds were sown on a nursery bed at October 30th, 2021, and October 29th, 2022. Twenty days older seedlings were undertaken a hardening process for a duration of 2 days. To ensure proper growth, the cauliflower crop received nutrients including N, P, K, S, Zn, B and cow dung at rates of 120, 60, 100, 24, 3.6, 2.1 kg and 3 tons per hectare, respectively. Spanning two consecutive years, the combination of cauliflower and coriander leaf provided the highest land equivalent ratio, with values of 1.68 and 1.62, respectively. Besides, in view of BCR, cauliflower intercropped with spinach resulted the highest BCR values of 1.61 in the first year and 1.50 in the second year. Cauliflower + spinach intercropping system resulted in net returns of 217,410 and 183,950 BDT, respectively. Therefore, it can be suggested that farmers can cultivate their land with a combination of cauliflower and spinach in the interest of maximizing profitability in Sorjan bed cultivation.

Association between serum uric acid and kidney disease with pediatric focus
Authors: Cho Myung Hyun
Published: October 2024

Hyperuricemia is a global medical issue. Kidney disease and hyperuricemia are clearly related. Whether uric acid is a disease bystander or a therapeutic target in chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. Uric acid is involved in various mechanisms that worsen kidney function, and many epidemiological and animal studies have shown an association between hyperuricemia and kidney deterioration. However, several confounding variables limit this interpretation of the relationship. Two recent large well-designed studies failed to show that allopurinol, a uric acid-lowering agent, slows the decline in glomerular filtration rate. Nevertheless, this conclusion remains premature. The role of uric acid-lowering agents in delaying disease progression in patients with early-stage CKD, such as pediatric patients, requires further study.
Repeatability of Corneal Epithelial Thickness Map Using Anterior-Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Normal and Corneal Disease Patients
Authors: Lee Jee Eun , Han Kyung Eun
Published: October 2024

Purpose: To evaluate the repeatability of corneal epithelial thickness (CET) measurements in normal eyes and eyes diagnosed with corneal disease using the epithelial thickness map (ETM) of anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (OCT).Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with three OCT scans using the ETM mode of Cirrus OCT between October 2021 and January 2024 were reviewed. Two groups of subjects were included: (1) normal subjects with no history of ophthalmic surgery, corneal diseases, and topical antiglaucoma medication uses; and (2) subjects with corneal diseases including dry eye syndrome, recurrent corneal erosion, pterygium, and others. A total of 57 eyes of 57 normal subjects and 106 eyes of 76 patients with corneal disease were included. ETM was analyzed in 25 zones (one zone within 0–2 mm diameter, eight zones within 2–5 mm diameter, eight zones within 5–7 mm diameter, and eight zones within 7–9 mm diameter). Repeatability was evaluated by calculating intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), coefficient of variation (CoV), within-subject standard deviation (Sw), and Bland-Altman plot.Results: Among a total of 25 sectors, the normal eyes showed high repeatability (ICC, >0.75; CoV, 2.160%–5.292%; Sw, 0.760– 1.653 μm) in 23 sectors, and corneal diseases patients also showed high repeatability (ICC, >0.75; CoV, 4.167%–9.606%; Sw, 1.298–3.340 μm) in 22 sectors. However, the wide range of 95% limit of agreement width of Bland-Altman plot presented in corneal disease group and some peripheral zones in normal eyes indicates some variability of CET measurements.Conclusions: Except for a few peripheral sectors, ETM of Cirrus OCT provides repeatable CET measurements in normal eyes; however in corneal disease group, repeatability was not consistently high. To measure CET accurately, performing multiple measurements is advised especially in patients with corneal disease and patients in whom peripheral CET values.

Authors: Akimenko Pavel
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of problems related to the possibility of achieving such a goal of criminal punishment as correction. In the course of the analysis, the definition of the category “correction” is given. An attempt has been made to determine the criteria for achieving the correction of convicts. The question of possible ways to achieve this goal of criminal punishment and the factors hindering this process is being considered. Examples of the negative impact of these circumstances on the correction of convicts are given, which ultimately leads to the ineffectiveness of achieving the stated goal of criminal punishment. The justification is given that the correction of a convicted person is a moral and legal category that takes into account the socio-adaptive capabilities of a particular person.

Garbage remains a significant issue in Greenary Permai Bojong Gede Housing, leading to an unhealthy environment, particularly when waste collection is inconsistent. In response, the 3G waste bank initiated several waste reduction activities. However, progress has been slow due to limited waste management knowledge, incomplete equipment, low community awareness, and manual record-keeping. To address these challenges, training was provided on managing organic and plastic waste, and repurposing used cooking oil into candles and soap. Financial application training was also given to improve the recording process. The goal was to enable the community and partners to adopt a small-scale waste management system and integrate it into daily habits. Using Participatory Action Research (PAR), community members, including waste bank administrators, were directly involved in hands-on training to ensure participants understood the objectives. Since the socialization of this initiative in April 2024, significant progress has been made. Questionnaire results showed 95% of participants understood the activity's purpose. Monitoring and evaluation revealed that residents and partners have successfully adopted composting, ecobrick-making, and proper recycling of used cooking oil into candles or soap, demonstrating sustainable practices and optimal use of the financial applications.
