Authors: Sethy Prabira Kumar , Geetha Devi A. , Padhan Bikash , Behera Santi Kumari , Sreedhar Surampudi , Das Kalyan
Published: November 2022

Among malignant tumors, lung cancer has the highest morbidity and fatality rates worldwide. Screening for lung cancer has been investigated for decades in order to reduce mortality rates of lung cancer patients, and treatment options have improved dramatically in recent years. Pathologists utilize various techniques to determine the stage, type, and subtype of lung cancers, but one of the most common is a visual assessment of histopathology slides. The most common subtypes of lung cancer are adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, lung benign, and distinguishing between them requires visual inspection by a skilled pathologist. The purpose of this article was to develop a hybrid network for the categorization of lung histopathology images, and it did so by combining AlexNet, wavelet, and support vector machines. In this study, we feed the integrated discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients and AlexNet deep features into linear support vector machines (SVMs) for lung nodule sample classification. The LC25000 Lung and colon histopathology image dataset, which contains 5,000 digital histopathology images in three categories of benign (normal cells), adenocarcinoma, and squamous carcinoma cells (both are cancerous cells) is used in this study to train and test SVM classifiers. The study results of using a 10-fold cross-validation method achieve an accuracy of 99.3% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.99 in classifying these digital histopathology images of lung nodule samples.
Algal bloom monitoring in Koka Reservoir, Ethiopia: Application of satellite remote sensing algorithms
Authors: Eritrea Eden , Inagaki Yoshihiko , Makwinja Rodgers
Published: November 2022

Koka Reservoir in Ethiopia, which serves as an essential water source for local inhabitants, has faced severe toxic cyanobacteria blooms. A conventional technique has been employed to monitor the trend. Though this technique has been proven accurate, it has been expensive and laborious. Hence, a satellite remote sensing technique is proposed to offset these challenges. The main objective of this paper is to explore two satellite-derived indices, which involved cross-validation of the floating algal index (FAI) derived from Sentinel-2 MSI and Landsat-8 OLI imagery. We further investigated the link between the FAI and normalized difference chlorophyll index (NDCI) using Sentinel-2 MSI. The findings showed that FAI values derived from MSI imagery were slightly higher than those derived from OLI imagery. A strong positive linear regression coefficient (R2 = 0.82), indicated that the FAI algorithm is a sensor-insensitive-suggesting it could be used for algal bloom monitoring in Koka Reservoir.

Authors: Futch Stephen H.
Published: November 2022

Replacement of dead and diseased trees in Florida citrus groves has always been an important part of citrus production. Today, tree replacement is more important than ever since overhead and production costs are escalating and a full stand of productive trees is essential to maximize production and profits. In more recent times, Huanglongbing (HLB), or citrus greening, has accelerated tree loss rates as well as the ability for growers to bring young citrus trees into production. This revised 5-page fact sheet discusses a wide range of techniques for providing young tree care. Many of these should prove useful to Florida citrus growers confronted with the problem of managing resets. Written by Stephen H.

Fact Sheet: West Nile virus
Authors: Tavares Yasmin , Bauer Amely , Reeves Lawrence , Campbell Lindsay
Published: November 2022

Introduced to the United States in 1999, West Nile virus (WNV) is transmitted from mosquitoes to humans and equines. With over 52,000 reported human infections, it is the most frequent cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States. Many mosquito species can transmit WNV, and many wildlife species can be infected with the virus and transmit it to biting mosquitoes, which makes identifying WNV's high risk areas or time periods complex. The US equine industry, domestic pets, and livestock are all at risk from harm from WNV. Many equine WNV epizootics have occurred since 1999, with more than 30,000 equine cases reported in the United States. Since WNV's introduction to Florida in 2001, infections have been reported in a total of 460 people and 757 equines. This publication provides information about WNV to the general public, researchers and stakeholders in mosquito control, and public health professionals.

Arquitetura de infraestrutura em nuvem e o modelo zero trust como estratégia de cibersegurança
Authors: Teodoro Douglas Diego Rocha
Published: November 2022

Desde o surgimento da internet, o crescimento vertiginoso do uso dos meios eletrônicos cresce na mesma proporção em que ocorrem os crimes cibernéticos, aplicados de forma cada vez mais sofisticada. Além desses dois fatores que impactam o uso da internet, destaca-se a velocidade com que evoluem os recursos e ferramentas inerentes à área de Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação (TICs), que potencializam a necessidade de serem desenvolvidos e aperfeiçoados, continuamente, os meios de proteção de dados sensíveis de pessoas e organizações públicas e privadas. Nesta perspectiva, surge a Cloud Computing, que permite o armazenamento de dados, redes e aplicações, e demais recursos por meio de ambientes integrados através da internet, a partir de provedores coletivos, em contraponto ao sistema on-premise, que se baseia na guarda e acesso por meio de servidores locais, inclusive mainframes, que ainda são mantidos em boa parte das organizações de grande porte, como o sistema bancário, por exemplo. Ao Cloud Computing somem-se as práticas do Zero Trust, cuja principal inovação consiste na adoção de várias camadas de verificação de acesso. Este artigo foi elaborado adotando como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica. A pergunta que surge sobre o tema é: de que forma a Zero Trust confere maior segurança aos usuários das redes? Como objetivo pretende-se demonstrar as vantagens da segurança proporcionadas pela Zero Trust, aliadas à Cloud Computing. Diante da literatura analisada, foi possível concluir a existência de dois aspectos principais trazidos pela Zero Trust: o acesso do internauta somente a partir de 7 camadas de verificação, e a mitigação das vulnerabilidades, entre elas a ideia sobre navegação responsável pelos diferentes usuários.
Factors affecting survival and dispersal of the comma butterfly in a high mountain deciduous forest habitat
Authors: Oro D. , Stefanescu C. , Alba M , Capitán J. , Ubach A. , Genovart M.
Published: November 2022

Population and community dynamics of butterflies are relatively well known in Europe thanks to citizen science and academic efforts to cover large spatio–temporal scales. However, there are still gaps of knowledge about which life–history traits have a large influence on the dynamics of particular species and the ecological factors that influence those traits. We conducted a capture–recapture demographic study on the comma butterfly Polygonia c–album in a high mountain deciduous forest. We estimated daily survival in breeding adults caught while foraging on thistles and we calculated the probability of dispersal between two close sites. Thistle growth was enhanced by nitrification in cattle grazing in the study area. Local survival was higher for males (0.920, 95 % CI: 0.851–0.959) than for females (0.869, 95 % CI: 0.799–0.917). Short–range dispersal mostly occurred in absence of wind. Light winds and high levels of solar radiation likely enhanced foraging activity. In contrast with findings in most butterfly demographic studies, recapture rates were significantly higher in females than in males, likely due to the latter moving each afternoon to establish territories along sunny forest edges away from the foraging habitat. Further demographic studies are needed to assess the effects of climate stochasticity and habitat transformation caused by changes in extensive cattle grazing on the population dynamics of the comma butterfly.

O presente artigo visa problematizar os termos “desinformação e negacionismo climático”, considerando o contexto no qual a desinformação e propagação de fake news (notícias falsas) atuam como fatores que contribuem para a polarização da população a respeito da crise climática, impactando as crenças e, consequentemente, o comportamento dos cidadãos diante da questão. Para esta análise, foram consideradas matérias publicadas no portal de notícias G1.com, veículo que apresenta grande alcance como meio de comunicação no Brasil. utilizando-se primeiro o descritor “negacionismo”, e logo em seguida três descritores combinados (doía a dois) “negacionismo”, “mudanças climáticas” e “desinformação”. O estudo qualitativo, de natureza descritiva e exploratória, buscou evidenciar as ocorrências de matérias que contenham os termos descritores “negacionismo”, “negacionismo AND mudanças climáticas” e “negacionismo AND desinformação”. Ao longo do estudo, observou-se que o maior volume de matérias que utilizam apenas o termo descritor “negacionismo” estão relacionadas aos dois últimos anos da pandemia de Covid-19. Além disso, entre os resultados encontrados para os dois termos descritores “negacionismo” e “negacionismo AND mudanças climáticas”, observou-se, independentemente do tema tratado na matéria, análises que relacionam o atual governo como o maior agente propagador de desinformação. A evidência de um discurso negacionista climático sinaliza a necessidade de atuação qualificada dos meios de comunicação e de jornalismo para que sejam propagados esclarecimentos científicos, mediantes os quais as mudanças climáticas possam ser percebidas e compreendidas em seus aspectos ambientais, sociais, políticos, econômicos e culturais, de forma a impactar positivamente a visão e o comportamento dos cidadãos.
Evaluation of the Quality of Fresh-Cut Mango, Mangosteen, and Rambutan Under Cold Storage
Authors: Suriati Luh
Published: November 2022

Fresh-cut tropical fruit is a popular product because it is convenient, healthy, safe, and good quality. Fresh-cut fruits of different types produce different qualities during storage. Mango, mangosteen, and rambutan are three tropical fruits that contain nutrients that are good for health. The research design used a one-factor randomized block design, namely the type of fruit, with three replications. The physical characteristics of the whole fruit are to be processed and determined by their picking age, maturity stage, skin color, and texture. Fresh-cut mango preparation was carried out by peeling and cutting to a size of 4 x 4 x 2cm while mangosteen and rambutan only removed the skin. Fresh-cut mango, mangosteen, and rambutan were stored at a cold temperature of 7±1°C in a plastic box, and periodic observations of days 0, 3, 6, and 9. The quality attributes of fresh-cut fruit during storage that have been observed include acidity, vitamin C, moisture content, total dissolved solids, weight loss, texture, color differences, and browning index. The recommendation of this research is the removal of the skin followed by cutting the fruit as in the mango, the shelf life at cold temperatures is shorter than without cutting, such as mangosteen and rambutan. Fresh-cut mango at cold storage only lasts 3 days, while mangosteen and rambutans last up to 6 days.

Published: November 2022

Toronto Metropolitan University Library implemented a Scan and Deliver service in June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. With this service patrons can request a portion of text, such as a chapter of a book or a journal article, be scanned by a library staff member and emailed to them. This service was implemented because of limited access to the physical library building and the print collection due to pandemic lockdowns. As the Library space reopened to patrons TMU librarians assessed this service to understand its impact and plan for future service offerings. 

The purpose of this assessment was to understand why Toronto Metropolitan University Library patrons have used the scan and deliver service: what benefits does it offer them, what role do scanned materials play in their scholarly research, and what barriers does it help them overcome? As the researchers found the service was impactful, namely in reducing barriers to academic research related to travel, health, and ease of access. These results have informed the future of this service at TMU Libraries and can be used to as a starting point for assessment by academic libraries regarding similar services implemented mid-pandemic. 

This collections contains information related to the Scan and Delivery service assessment, including a paper delivered at the Library Assessment Conference in November 2022.

Prostate cancer is most prevalent malignancy of males in the world. In recent years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified, and their functions are associated with prostate cancer initiation and progression. However, their molecular mechanisms still need to be elucidated before the clinical utility. In the present study, we identified the correlation of lncRNA inactivation escape 1 (INE1) with the characterization in prostate cancer patients, and detected the roles of INE1 in cell autophagy and apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. Our results showed that the lncRNA INE1 expression highly correlate with patients’ survival times, tumor stage, biochemical recurrence, disease recurrence and Gleason pattern. High expression of INE1 was detected in prostate cancer cells, and knockdown INE1 by siRNA resulted in significant inhibition of cell viability. In addition, silencing INE1 induced early autophagy and pro-apoptosis, which augments cisplatin (CDDP)-induced cell apoptosis. Moreover, INE1 played an anti-apoptotic role by targeting the serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2).

Published: November 2022

One part of the interface of an application is the menu. Menus are a common user interface component in many types of applications. Through the menu, the commands of a software (program) are executed to run certain commands from the application. Accessing the menu repeatedly for the same feature is considered ineffective. One of the solutions offered by the researchers is to provide a concept, namely the creation of dynamic menus. This article provides an overview of the dynamic menu concept through several examples of articles from previous researchers

ABSTRACT

The hybrid system is an effort to answer the efficiency challenges of renewable energy systems. With

the hybrid system, power supply disturbances can be controlled and make the system more reliable. In this study, the hybrid system used is a combination of solar panels  and wind turbines. In the process of designing a hybrid system, analysis studies for many factors are certainly needed. The aim is to optimize the minimum cost with the right energy capacity. One of them is determining the number of solar panels and wind turbines to meet the daily and annual average power. To achieve this can use the optimization method. The method used in this research is linear programming, minimum function with constraints (fmincon), and genetic algorithms. From the research results it is known that the use of the linear programming method is easier and more effective than the minimum function with constraints (fmincon), and the genetic algorithm. This is because the objective function is a simple linear function, but all three yield the same global optimal and minimum cost value

Keywords: linear programming (linprog); fmincon; genetic algorithm (ga); global optimum.

Applicability Of Design Science Research For Biomedical Engineering Research
Authors: Susanty Meredita
Published: November 2022

The design-science paradigm aims to push the limits of human and organisational capabilities by generating new and inventive artefacts. The design science research framework includes engineering that applies science through the design process to solve challenges. The design process looks for a solution to meet the environment's needs. On the other hand, a research study results from a collaboration between design and knowledge base to answer a research problem.

The three principal cycles in design science research are the relevance cycle between the environment and the design phase, the design cycle within the design phase, and the rigour cycle between the design phase and the knowledge base. While it is most well-known in the engineering and computer science disciplines, it is also applied in biomedical engineering and bioinformatics. It is relevant in biomedical engineering because of the connection between research outputs and the issue of scientific rigour.  Three cases are presented in this article to depict design science study in biomedical and bioinformatics research. For each case discussed, machine learning has a big chance accompanied by unique challenges. In conclusion, the design science paradigm can also be used in biomedical engineering research to ensure that knowledge is relevant and appropriately included in the research process.
Long-Short Term Memory And Gradient Boosting Model For Hydraulic System Predictive Maintenance
Authors: Susanty Meredita
Published: November 2022

A hydraulic system, a drive technology where a fluid is used to create force, is used in all kinds of large and small industrial settings, as well as buildings, construction equipment, and vehicles. Well-planned predictive maintenance is considered the most efficient maintenance strategy to maintain the performance of the system. A data-driven approach such as machine learning approaches while showing increasingly effective solutions in this domain, it has remained a challenge to adopt which method is fit, robust and provide the most accurate detection. This research proposes two Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) models to predict the condition of each feature over time and various supervised algorithms to predict predicts the type of fault and the time fault that occur based on the condition of the features over time. The result shows the LSTM model which only considering one feature in the model provides higher accuracy than the model with all features. In predicting the fault, Gradient Boosting Classifier has the best performance among other models such as Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine, Gaussian Naïve Bayes and the other ensemble models (extreme gradient boosting, random forest classifier, AdaBoost Classifier, extra tree classifier).
Minne menet ja mistä tulet medioitu vuorovaikutus?
Authors: Isotalus Pekka
Published: November 2022

Esitelmässä kuvataan Isotaluksen omien tutkimustensa kautta medioidun vuorovaikutuksen tutkimuksen kehitystä vuosikymmenten aikana. Ajan myötä mediaympäristön muuttuessa medioidun vuorovaikutuksen ymmärtäminen, käsitteellistäminen ja tutkimuskohteet ovat muuttuneet. Medioidulla vuorovaikutuksella esitelmässä tarkoitetaan ihmisten välistä vuorovaikutusta, joka tapahtuu jonkin median välityksellä, kautta tai yhteydessä. Vanhimmat medioidun vuorovaikutuksen teoriat ovat 1950-luvulta, ja vuosituhannen vaihteeseen saakka nämä teoriat käsittelevät ensisijaisesti viestintää joukkoviestimissä. Isotaluksen ensimmäiset medioitua vuorovaikutusta käsittelevät tutkimukset liittyvät televisioesiintymiseen. Nämä aikaisemmat näkökulmat medioidusta vuorovaikutuksesta auttavat ymmärtämään, minkälaisista ajatuksista aihealueen nykyiset teoriat tulevat. 1990-luvulta alkaen internet ja sen myötä teknologiavälitteinen viestintä sekä myöhemmin sosiaalinen media ovat muuttaneet medioidun vuorovaikutuksen tutkimusta ja näkökulmia ratkaisevalla tavalla. Omissa tutkimuksissaan Isotalus on käsitellyt esimerkiksi verkkosivuja, sosiaalisia agentteja, hybridimediaa sekä vuorovaikutusta sosiaalisessa mediassa. Nykyinen mediamaisema virtuaalisine medioineen ja tekoälyineen haastaa nykyisiä medioidun vuorovaikutuksen teorioita. Esimerkiksi vuorovaikutus ei enää tapahdu median välityksellä, vaan media voidaan ennemminkin ymmärtää paikkana, joka mahdollistaa vuorovaikutuksen. Kaikkein uusimassa tutkimusprojektissa tarkastellaan jälleen televisiota, mutta otetaan huomioon myös uudenlaiset ruudussa esiintymisen muodot. Esitelmässä pohditaan myös, mihin suuntaan medioidun vuorovaikutuksen tutkimus voisi tulevaisuudessa mennä.
