Skin melanoma detection and classification with deep learning
Authors: Pooja T K  , H N Prakash
Published: August 2024

Because of its rapid growth and high mortality rate, melanoma skin cancer is among the most dangerous types of skin cancer. Consequently, melanoma treatment relies heavily on early detection. Based on the U-Net architecture with VGG-16 encoder and semantic segmentation, we present a skin lesion segmentation approach for dermoscopic pictures in this study. Diagnostic imaging systems can assess the characteristics of the segmented skin lesion and assign them a classification based on those aspects. Even on computers without powerful GPUs, the training accuracy is still high enough (over 95%) using the suggested strategy, which uses fewer resources. We use the ISIC dataset, which contains dermoscopy images, to train the model in our trials. We compare the suggested skin lesion segmentation method to others that use deep learning and analyze the Sorensen-Dice and Jaccard scores to determine how well it performs. In terms of skin lesion segmentation, the experimental findings demonstrated that the proposed method outperformed the alternatives.

The effectiveness of Emergency Remote Education (ERE) according to Medicine, Nursing, and Dentistry students
Authors: Sérgio Murta Maciel  , Gustavo Bittencourt Camilo
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Universities had to reinvent themselves and adapt to the new reality. Different versions of Emergency Remote Education (ERE) emerged, in which theoretical classes were taught remotely to the detriment of practice, which would be taught at another time. The discipline of Anatomy, based on practice, needs to undergo adaptations. Practical classes in medicine, dentistry, and nursing were temporarily suspended to be taught in a subsequent period, dissociated from theoretical teaching, and carried out remotely online. Material and Methods: Interviewed 451 health area students from a public university. All students had completed at least one period of Anatomy at ERE and at least one period in person. Results: The majority of students, from all courses, did not agree with the usefulness of remote classes, but they participated in online tutoring and students do not seem to believe that remote teaching could lead to insecurity in the application of anatomy in the clinic. There was reported similarity in the effectiveness of remote classes compared to face-to-face classes and a large percentage of medical (n=135) and nursing (n=35) students believe that theoretical classes do not lead to clinical insecurity, unlike dentistry students (n=73) who think so. Conclusion: In general, the student did not fully approve of the ERE, but did not feel disadvantaged in the teaching of Anatomy, and prefers face-to-face teaching. Most of them attended a monitoring in the ERE, and believe it is most difficult to study practice in Anatomy after theoretical classes.

Authors: Konstantinos Katsoulis  , Angeliki Papadopoulou
Published: August 2024

Based on the interactions of three water quality variables, chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), secchi depth (SD – water transparency) and total phosphorus (TP), this study was aimed to assess the trophic state of Plastiras Lake through the modified method of Carlson's trophic state index (CTSI). Eutrophication is one of the most serious problems for water quality and CTSI is an important index for monitoring water quality status and eutrophication assessment. The classification scale for Trophic State Index (TSI) fluctuates from 0 to 100 and the results of this study showed that the mean TSI for Chl-a was 42.95, for SD was 45.50 and for TP was 75.15. The overall CTSI finally was 54.53. These show that Plastiras Lake is presently classified as mesotrophic to eutrophic which reflects the current levels of nutrients in the lake.

Published: August 2024

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of different mixing percentages of lint grades of Egyptian cotton varieties on fiber properties and yarn strength. Two lint grades within each variety of four Egyptian cottons from 2022 and 2023 crop seasons were used; Good to Fully Good (G/FG) and Fully Good Fair (FGF) for Giza 86, Good to Fully Good (G/FG) and Fully Good Fair to Good (FGF/G) for Giza 92, Good to Fully Good (G/FG) and Good Fair (GF) for Giza 94 and, Fully Good (FG) and Fully Good Fair (FGF) for Giza 95 with mixing percentage (30%-40%-50%) of the highest grades for each variety. Mixed lots of lint cotton grades were tested on Fiber Classifying System (FCS) instrument to measure fiber properties. Yarn strength was tested on Good Brand Lea tester at 60s and 3.6 twist factor. This experiment was conducted at Egyptian & International Cotton Classification Center (EICCC) in Cotton Research Institute (CRI), Agricultural Research Center (ARC), Giza, Egypt. Using traditional statistical analysis (normal probability distribution) with untraditional method (assumed probability distribution) illustrated that; It was remarkably increased upper half mean length,mean length, uniformity index, fiber strength, micronaire reading, maturity and linear density with increase of the percentage of the highest grade in the mixing for each studied variety. Meanwhile short fiber content showed the opposite trend, whereas, elongation had no obvious trend. Prominent improvement in yarn strength was observed when the highest lint cotton grade percentage increased from 30% through 40% and 50% in the mixing lots. Yarn strength increased from 2690 to 3170, from 2475 to 2850, from 2440 to 2845 and from 2135 to 2360 for Giza 92, Giza 86, Giza 94 and Giza 95, respectively. Generally, mixing method based on lint grades exhibited significant improvement in fiber and yarn quality properties. In the same time this method is easier than the experimental mixing methods based on micronaire reading or fiber strength. on the other hand, it is very important process in cotton production economy.
Socio-economic impacts of resource extraction on indigenous populations in Imbolo Mbue's: How beautiful we were
Authors: Shulammite Mayowa Olukayode
Published: August 2024

This paper undertakes a comprehensive analysis of Imbolo Mbue's novel "How Beautiful We Were," employing the novel as a case study to explore the interconnected phenomena of ecological and economic losses affecting the fictional African village of Kosawa. The narrative serves as a poignant lens through which the catastrophic impacts of environmental degradation by external corporate interests, specifically an American oil company, are examined. Drawing on methodologies such as Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and systemic-functional linguistics, the study illuminates how the novel’s language actively shapes perceptions of ecological destruction and social conflict. The analysis is anchored in a detailed examination of the socio-economic repercussions of environmental exploitation on indigenous communities, reflecting broader global issues of environmental injustice where marginalized populations bear the brunt of industrial activities. By integrating narrative analysis with socio-economic and ecological impact assessments, the paper aims to provide a holistic understanding of the compound crises faced by communities on the frontlines of environmental exploitation. This approach not only highlights the devastating effects on health and local economies but also emphasizes the role of literature as a form of resistance and a vehicle for advocating ecological and social justice. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions on sustainable development and advocate for more nuanced and inclusive approaches in literature and policy, reinforcing the critical role of narrative in shaping public discourse and policy on environmental justice.

Copper corrosion inhibition by Luffa cylinderica leaf extract has been studied in 0.01M Sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) using electrochemical measurement. Inhibition efficiency increase as the inhibitor concentration increases and decrease with temperature while corrosion rate decreases with concentration and increase with rise in temperature. At the optimum concentration (1000mg/L), the highest inhibition efficiency of plant extract was found to be 72.1846% at 303K and 68.1242% at 313K , and the corrosion rate (10-5) was 1.2679 at 303K and 1.4059 at 313K. However, increase in temperature decreased the inhibition efficiency at the temperature range studied. The phenomenon of physical adsorption has been proposed from the activation energy values (3.8933 to 7.9793 kJ mol-1) with Luffa cylinderica leave extract and the heat of adsorption, Qads ranges from (-26.4619 to - 15.3085 kJmol-1) for concentration of inhibitor studied. These values are negative and suggestive of adsorption on metal surface. The surface morphology and the composition of copper metal were also examined using SEM and XRD analysis respectively. The data obtained from this study fits well into the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Authors: Chanda Chansa Thelma  , Daniel L. Mpolomoka  , Mwila Mwenda Gilbert  , Daniel Monta Mulenga  , Zohaib Hassan Sain
Published: August 2024

Overview: The debate between free education and quality education remains a critical issue in the global education landscape. This systematic analysis aimed to dissect the intricate relationship between the provision of free education and the assurance of quality education. While free education is often lauded for its role in increasing accessibility and promoting educational equity, concerns about the potential compromise in quality cannot be overlooked. Body of Knowledge: The study’s analysis drew on a comprehensive review of existing literature, case studies, and empirical data from various countries that have implemented free education policies. Central to this analysis is the understanding that free education, though essential for fostering inclusivity, often faces challenges such as underfunding, overcrowded classrooms, and inadequate infrastructure. These issues can severely impact the quality of education delivered, resulting in poor learning outcomes and diminished educational standards. Methods: The study engaged both the qualitative and quantitative methods and a descriptive research design that sampled 150 respondents; head teachers, teachers and learners from selected secondary schools in Lusaka district, Zambia. Data was obtained from the respondents by means of interviews and questionnaires. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data whereas quantitative data were analyzed by the use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 26) and Microsoft Excel (version 16). Results: The study’s analysis delves into the economic implications of free education. While it alleviates the financial burden on families, especially in low-income regions, the long-term sustainability of such policies is questioned. The study examined various funding models and the role of government expenditure in maintaining high educational standards without imposing direct costs on students. Recommendation: The study therefore recommended for policymakers to adopt a holistic view, ensuring that the drive towards free education is matched with adequate resources, effective management, and a commitment to continuous improvement in educational standards.

Published: August 2024

This research was conducted based on the crucial issue of education. Globalization provides benefits for countries to develop, but is not conducive to character education. Globalization brings many new values that cause the implementation of moral, cultural and religious values in children to decline. Education is the key to forming a young generation with character, so reactualization needs to be pursued. Character education is closely related to Islamic education. Many local traditions hold cultural and religious values, including the baritan tradition preserved by the community in Ngeni Village, Blitar Regency. The purpose of this research is the reactualization of Islamic education, especially culture-based by taking Islamic values in the baritan tradition.  This research uses descriptive qualitative research to present research based on natural settings. The results showed that in the midst of globalization, character education requires refreshment, so that local culture is not displaced by foreign cultures. In the baritan tradition, there are cultural and religious values that must be introduced and taught to the younger generation so that they do not fade and disappear in the times. The reactualization process is carried out through four steps, namely exemplary, habituation, supervision, and punishment and reward.

The development of research instruments is extremely important. The research indicated the construction of instruments among house officers during their housemanship. The independent variable and the dependent variable were both investigated as components of the research. Experience, conceptualization, experimentation, andcompetence are the items in both variables. In the initial phase, the researcher performed a study dependability analysis. The obtained alpha value indicates that all items have been accepted. The researcher then executes an analysis to generate a scatter plot of homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity. The generated distribution must represent regression, with the data plot featuring regression-standardised residuals and regression-standardised projected value. The drawn representation should be oval for proof that the data is normal and distributed equally. An adequate distribution demonstrates that the research instruments are acceptable and trustworthy. The study's findings demonstrate that the distribution is oval. Therefore, both research objectives succeeded, including determining the trustworthiness of instrument development and recognising the commonality of homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity scatter plots during instrument creation. A reliable instrument is essential for ensuring accuracy and research data.
