Authors: Altıntaş Furkan Fahri
Published: May 2024

With the advancement of democracy in a country, sustainable development, innovation, economic growth and progress can be achieved. Therefore, the progress of major economies in democracy can influence the global economy. In this context, the research measured the democracy performance of G7 countries, which account for more than half of global capital, using the Democracy Index (DI) components data created by The Economist Intelligence Unit (TEIU), the most recent and up-to-date data available, through the PSI multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. According to the PSI (Preference Selection Index) method, the democracy performance of countries was ranked as Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Italy, and the USA. Furthermore, the average democracy performance value of countries was calculated, and it was observed that the countries with performance lower than this value were the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Italy, and the USA. Therefore, it is considered that the countries with lower-than-average democracy performance need to improve their democracy performance to contribute more to the global economy. Additionally, according to sensitivity, comparative, and simulation analyses in the research, it was concluded that the democracy performance of countries can be measured using the PSI method within the scope of the DI.

Agroforestry being an agroecological practice has potential benefits of climate adaptation and mitigation while preventing land degradation and increase in agricultural productivity. In the present study, GIS based methodology was followed to identify suitable sites for agroforestry in 17 districts, representing different agroclimatic zones of India. A weighted index approach was adopted to integrate all parameters (land use land cover, wasteland, soil carbon, slope and surface water body) using GIS techniques. Weightages are given to each parameter based on its importance towards objective of the study and subsequently ranks are assigned to each category within the parameters. By multiplying weightage and rank, Agroforestry Suitability Index (ASI) was derived. The ASI has been further classified in 5 categories (High, Moderate, Less, Very Less, and Not Suitable). The model was validated based on ground truth (GT) data collected in selected districts. Comparison of GT points collected in High and Moderate suitable wasteland regions showed good agreement with the model and registered an accuracy of about 86.60%. District-wise agroforestry systems with multipurpose trees species have been recommended in high and moderate suitability classes for 17 districts across India. This approach is efficient and uses simple integration to prioritize the wastelands suitable for various other land use purposes vis-à-vis restoration projects expanding green cover and help to achieve national commitments under UNFCCC and UNCCD focussed on Ecosystem restoration, Paris Agreement, Land Degradation Neutrality and UN-sustainable development goals.
Multi-Seed Region Growing Algorithm for Medical Image Segmentation
Authors: Gierlinger Marco , Brandner Dinah , Zagar Bernhard
Published: May 2024

We present a heuristic approach to segment an image into multiple regions for subsequent feature extraction. The algorithm is based on region growing and allows parallel implementation by employing multiple seeds, that independently grow a region until all pixels of the image have been assigned. Seeds are homogeneously dispersed in pixel space and the growth of regions is controlled by prioritizing neighboring pixels via a bucket queue. The heuristic is based on histograms that are built up during growth to derive binary images for each seed. These binary images are weighted by additive image fusion. A simple preprocessing technique is applied to tune the algorithm’s outcome. We explain how input parameters influence the algorithm’s outcome and how practical solutions can be obtained.

One way for the visual inspection of assemblies with many variants is to compare camera images with the corresponding rendered view of the CAD model. In this paper, we address the problem to decide whether there are significant differences between camera and rendered images, which signal an assembly error. Our approach uses a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN) to translate the camera image to a rendered like one, followed by error detection by comparing the translated and rendered images.
Extraction of surface image features for wear detection on ball screw drive spindles
Authors: Schlagenhauf Tobias , Heinzler Max , Fleischer Jürgen
Published: May 2024

Failures of production machines are often caused by wear and the resulting failure of components. Therefore, condition-based monitoring of machines and their components is becoming an increasingly important factor in industry. Due to the simple conversion of the motion of electric rotary drives into precision feed motion, the ball screw is an inherent element of many production machines. Thus, a failure of the ball screw often leads to costly production stops. This paper shows the determination and extraction of wear-describing image features, allowing an image-based condition monitoring of ball screws using hyperparameteroptimized machine learning classifiers. The features to train the algorithms are derived and extracted based on the deep domain knowledge of ball screw drive failures in combination with further developed state of the art feature extraction algorithms.

Continuous quality monitoring is essential for automated production systems and efficient manufacturing. Laser welding processes are a key technology for many industrial applications and must fulfill high-quality requirements. Various influencing factors can lead to defects in the weld seam, which impair the functionality and quality of the end product. Therefore, a reliable quality assurance is a prerequisite for high product quality in welding processes. An indicator for an unstable situation in welding processes is the occurrence of spatter on the component. Thus, the detection of spatter can serve as a significant signal for defective weld seams. This article proposes the detection of spatter based on a camera image taken with an industrial camera, which is usually already integrated in the laser system. Due to the large variance of weld seams in image-based analysis, algorithms with a high degree of generalization are required. Using convolutional neural networks (CNN) and semantic segmentation the camera image is analyzed and classified pixel by pixel. The CNN is trained in a multi-class approach in order to recognize the weld seam as well as the spatter as result classes. The segmentation map constitutes the classification result. The results of the deep learning algorithms are evaluated by different methods and conclusions about their prediction quality are made.

Hierarchical classification, counting and length measurement of fish using a stacking model approach
Authors: Shantha kumar Raja , Hermann Andreas , Stepputtis Daniel
Published: May 2024

In this paper, the development of a hierarchical fish classification framework is presented. The conventional data collection technique for the commercial fish stock assessment is a labour intensive and time consuming procedure. The purpose of this project is to develop a framework that classifies fish species on two level semantic hierarchy label, to count the number of fishes and to measure the length of four different fish species using a small dataset. In stage 1 of the framework, the YOLOv3 convolutional neural network is used to accomplish level one semantic hierarchy label, to count the number of fishes and to measure the length of the detected fish. In stage 2, the features from the images are extracted using the VGG16 convolutional neural network. In stage 3, the stacked generalization technique is implemented to reduce the generalization error and to accomplish level two semantic hierarchy label. The classification accuracy of the stack model is 94%. The root mean square error of the fish length measurement is 1.23 cm. The accuracy in counting the number of fish depends on the detection accuracy of the stage 1 model and the classification accuracy of the stack models. Further, the results can be improved by increasing the size and diversity of the dataset.
Bildbasierte Geolokalisierung f ¨ ur UAVs
Authors: Schleiss Michael
Published: May 2024

When unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fly autonomous missions, they typically rely on global satellite navigation systems (GNSS) like GPS for global position estimation. However, GNSS signals can be easily jammed. We propose a camera-based method that uses onboard imagery and data from OpenStreetMap as a backup system for GNSS. First, the aerial imagery from the onboard camera is translated into a map-like representation. Then we match it with a reference map to infer the vehicle’s position. Experiments over a typically sized mission area are performed and exhibit localization accuracy close to 6 m. Our results show that the proposed method can serve as a backup to GNSS systems where suitable landmarks like buildings and roads are available.
The Value of a Mobilities Lens in Studying the Water-Heritage Nexus
Authors: Brons Maia
Published: May 2024

This article explores the value of a mobilities lens in studying the nexus of water and heritage, specifically within the context of post-industrial rivers and the many regenerative and degenerative processes shaping them today. The River Lea (East London) showcases the complex, often conflicting, water-heritage dynamics that manifest across post-industrial riverscapes: efforts to (re)connect communities to rivers and their heritage become entangled with the (pollutive) imprints of industry. Using examples from the River Lea, the article highlights how a mobilities lens, currently underused in water-heritage studies, draws attention to (i) physical accessibility provisions surrounding rivers, (ii) (in)visible streams of fluid materials and (iii) the movements and moorings of more-than-human entities. These human, ecological and more-than-human mobilities can support but also sabotage efforts to regenerate post-industrial rivers, rendering a mobilities lens, with its ability to value and make visible multiple mobilities, indispensable to studying post-industrial rivers as key water-heritage sites.
Strengthening the Legal Framework of Protected Areas in the Amazon to Combat Climate Change
Authors: Donoso Verônica Garcia , Reicher Christa
Published: May 2024

This article discusses the importance of increasing the percentage of protected areas and improving the efficiency of law enforcement in the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon’s waters and forests are essential to the global ecosystem, and both global and local climate changes are already having a significant impact on the region, as exemplified in 2023 by reduced precipitation in the region and extremely low levels of rivers like the Rio Negro. Yet, deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is increasing, especially in those areas not protected by legal environmental legislation. Therefore, expanding legal protection is crucial for both global climate adaptation and the conservation of the natural and cultural heritage of water systems.
The Shore as a Politicized Space for Community Heritage: The Case of Pra’, Genoa
Authors: Savoldi Francesca
Published: May 2024

Changes in coastal and maritime environments, increasingly caused by the climate crisis and large infrastructural projects such as global port construction, significantly impact community identity. When a community’s terraqueous space – a space that transcends the land-sea binary distinction – suffers a shock, long-term sociability within the community and relationships with nature are altered. This article connects the challenges of coastal community spaces and the community’s cultural heritage by articulating a critical ontology of the shore. The connection is illustrated using the example of Pra’ in Genoa, where constructing a large port terminal has detached the local maritime community from the sea.

Bahasa merupakan alat komunikasi yang penting dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, ilmu pengetahuan, pendidikan, bahkan di dalam lingkup pekerjaan. Namun, semenjak munculnya arus globalisasi perkembangan penggunaan bahasa telah bergeser dan masyarakat seperti melupakan kodrat dari bahasa itu sendiri dan menggantinya dengan bahasa gaul, yang kadang-kadang tidak tepat dan dapat menyebabkan kesalahpahaman. Penggunaan bahasa gaul dalam konteks pekerjaan juga dapat menghambat kinerja serta bahkan bisa memutus relasi antar kolega atau rekan sekerja. Di dalam lingkup berbisnis penggunaan bahasa yang ambigu juga dapat mengganggu hubungan profesionalitas dan mengurangi efektivitas komunikasi. Komunikasi bisnis yang efektif sangatlah penting untuk mencapai tujuan, membangun hubungan dengan pelanggan, dan meningkatkan kolaborasi tim. Tantangan dalam komunikasi bisnis meliputi komunikasi lintas budaya dan kesalahan teknis dalam komunikasi daring. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kesadaran akan keberagaman budaya dan penyelesaian cepat dalam menghadapi masalah teknis untuk menjaga efektivitas komunikasi.

The Reform of the EU Fiscal Rules
Authors: Bevilacqua Marco
Published: May 2024

The reform of European economic governance has been in the air for quite some time, but it was not until 2023 that the Commission put forward the most substantial development since the Maastricht Treaty. In April 2024, the European Parliament, along with the Council, approved all three legislative proposals. These measures strengthen European economic security by protecting the sustainability of the Union's debt.

Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS), a disease affecting chronic alcoholic and malnourishedpatients was described by Adams and colleagues in 1959. It is also known as pontinemyelinolysis. Pontine myelinolysis can be subdivided into central pontine myelinolysis (CPM)and extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) depending upon the level of demyelination, within thepons or outside the pons, respectively. Rapid correction of hyponatremia contributes to thepathogenesis of ODS. Whenever a chronic alcoholic and/or malnourished develops confusion,quadriplegia, pseudobulbar palsy and pseudocoma (Locked-in-syndrome) over a period ofseveral days, a high index of suspicion for ODS must be held

Drowsiness detection is highly significant in assuring the safety and effectiveness of intelligent automobiles and electric vehicles (EVs). It used to be that managing driver fatigue was only a question of comfort for contemporary transportation systems. However, with the rapid improvements that have been made in automotive technology and the growing prevalence of autonomous features, this need has developed into a fundamental requirement. Sleepiness detection systems perform the role of watchful co-pilots by continually monitoring the driver's behavior and sounding alerts or taking other appropriate actions when indicators of tiredness are identified. They are an effective strategy to limit the dangerous practice of sleepy driving, which is responsible for many motor vehicle accidents. These accidents are caused by a combination of factors, including fatigue, distraction, and inattention. In the current investigation, a Raspberry Pi is a real-time monitoring system to determine drowsiness. The dataset had one thousand unique images, each depicting a different feature of a real-world driving event. These images have been organized into the following four categories: open eyes (250 images), closed eyes (250 images), open mouth (250 images), and closed mouth (250 images). During this investigation, the experimental circumstances were looked at during daylight and the evening hours. For the system to function correctly, it relies on the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) algorithm and the facial landmarks method. The recommended strategy showed a higher degree of accuracy when put into practice. However, the study found that false negative blinks were noticed due to noise that could not be repaired within the collected signal. In the future, we want to concentrate our research efforts on determining whether or not the recommended technique is effective in a broader variety of contexts.
Studies of Impact on Bioactive Molecules of SB2 Isolate and their PGPR Activities from the Marine Environment
Authors: Aroumougame Sandanakirouchenane
Published: May 2024

Marine microbes are important sources for recovering bioactive substances. One of the marine isolates, SB2, used a variety of media, with tryptic soy broth showing the best growth and yellow coloring. The largest amount of biomass was produced after 72 hours when the strain SB2 was cultured on glucose, molasses, and peptone, a yeast extract containing carbon and nitrogen sources. Yellow pigment must be extracted using methanol, and the isolate SB2 produced the most of this color. At a concentration of 100 g ml-1 of several bacterial pathogens, the recovered pigment from the SB2 isolate exhibited antibacterial action. The maximum production of IAA and GA is shown in TS broth, which is additionally augmented by the siderophore synthesis of catechol and salicylate. The SB2 also produces IAA and GA. In contrast, the highest level of ACC deaminase activity was found in nutrient broth. Due to the generation of pigment, the strain SB2 may be essential for Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and antibacterial properties.

This review article focuses on integrated management options for ginger diseases, especially rhizome rot and wilt. We compiled the results of several strategies, including chemical treatments, cultural practices, soil solarization, organic additions, and biological management for rhizome rot and wilt disease complex of ginger. Effective approaches includes (i) raise the temperature by soil solarization, (ii) additions of soil amendments like wood sawdust, oil cakes, neem cakes that prevent soil pathogen and simultaneously improve soil health, (iii) cultural techniques such as soil selection, crop rotation and intercropping, (iv) biological control using Trichoderma species is another useful method to lower infestation and increase ginger yield, and (v) use of chemical control measures such as Ridomil MZ, Metalaxyl, and Streptomycin. The above-listed aspects can be integrated to develop integrated management strategies that aid in developing a treatment strategy for management for rhizome rot and wilt disease complex of ginger.
Borehole Disposal Facilities for Disused Sealed Radioactive Sources
Authors:   International Atomic Energy Agency
Published: May 2024

This Safety Guide provides recommendations on the safe disposal of disused sealed radioactive sources in borehole disposal facilities. Sealed radioactive sources are used all over the world for a wide range of purposes, in areas such as health, industry, research and agriculture. These sources are usually managed safely while in use, but States often experience challenges in their management once the sources reach the end of their useful lives. Even though they may no longer emit sufficient radiation for their intended purpose, disused sources are radioactive and potentially hazardous, and they need to be managed as radioactive waste. Written for regulators and others involved in the development and management of borehole disposal facilities, the objective of this Safety Guide is to provide recommendations on the commissioning, operation, closure, institutional control and regulation of borehole disposal facilities for disused sealed radioactive sources, and small volumes of low and intermediate level secondary waste generated during the management of these sources. This Safety Guide can also be used as a basis for reassessing and, where appropriate, upgrading the safety of existing borehole disposal facilities.

Published: May 2024

This volume explores the concept of humour and its relationship with human behaviour. The interdisciplinary essays in this book cover a wide range of time, from the sixteenth century to the present day. They delve into various cultural contexts, challenging social norms and prompting readers to reflect on the ethical implications of humour. The collection highlights the varied metaphors of heroes and monsters in each case study, which are crucial to understanding the moral spectrum of human existence. These metaphors represent aspirational ideals and darker aspects of what it means to be human.
The book encourages readers to critically analyse the complexity of humorous objects and social practices in contexts like digital culture, mythical folklore, entertainment technology, or politics, recognising their interconnectedness with societal issues and emphasising that different settings might call for different interpretations.
