URBAN FUNCTIONAL ZONE IDENTIFICATION BY CONSIDERING THE HETEROGENEOUS DISTRIBUTION OF POINTS OF INTERESTS
Authors: Qin Q. , Xu S. , Du M. , Li S.
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Urban Functional Zone (UFZ) identification facilitates the understanding of urban systems, which are complex and huge, and helps promote sustainable urban development. Existing studies on UFZ identification with Points of Interests (POIs) have focused much on more accurately extracting functional semantics, but ignored the fine delineation of UFZs in the spatial domain. The fine delineation of the spatial units of UFZs is also a key issue in UFZ identification. Since the sizes of UFZs can be different in practice, it is difficult to delineate spatially heterogeneous UFZs on a fixed scale. To solve the issue, a novel multi-scale spatial segmentation method was proposed in this study. Through taking the homogeneous socio-economic attributes of UFZs into account, we firstly generated a number of multi-scale spatial units by computing the mixed degree of POIs types, which reflects the mixed functions of each UFZs, using information entropy. Subsequently, we constructed the urban functional corpus of each spatial unit by measuring the spatial distribution pattern of POIs. The Word2Vec model was employed to obtain the semantic embedding vectors of UFZs, following which we adopted cosine distance-based K-means clustering method to group similar UFZs into one cluster. Finally, the enrichment factor was used to help annotate each functional cluster with a specific label. The UFZ identification results were compared with the Baidu e-maps and Baidu street view images for evaluation, and an accuracy of 82.7% was obtained. This study considering the heterogeneous distribution of POIs supports the fine-grained identification of UFZs, providing reference for urban planning.
EPIPOLAR GEOMETRY BETWEEN PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND COMPUTER VISION – A COMPUTATIONAL GUIDE
Authors: Alsadik B. , Abdulateef N. A.
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Stereo image orientation is one of the major topics in computer vision, photogrammetry, and robotics. The stereo vision problem solution represents the basic element of the multi-view Structure from Motion SfM in computer vision and photogrammetry.A successfully reconstructed stereo image geometry is based on solving the epipolar constraint using the fundamental matrix which is based on the projective geometry in computer vision. However, in photogrammetry, the problem is well known as relative orientation and there is a different solution that is based on the euclidean geometry using collinearity or coplanarity equations.A lot of literature and discussions were found in the last decades to solve the epipolar geometry problem. However, there is still no clear description to compare between solutions introduced using both projective and euclidean solutions and which method of the relative image orientation is mostly preferred.To the best of our knowledge, computing and plotting the epipolar lines using photogrammetric collinearity and coplanarity equations is not shown before in the educational litrature. In this paper, a detailed mathematical solution of the epipolar geometry will be shown using both photogrammetric and computer vision techniques. This is aimed to remove any confusion for new learners in using the current methods in both scientific fields and show that using any technique should lead to comparable results with advantages and disadvantages.
Pandemic Modeling, Good and Bad
Authors: Northcott Robert
Published: May 2022

What kind of epidemiological modeling works well? This is determined by the nature of the target: the relevant causal relations are unstable across contexts. I look at two influential examples of modeling from the Covid pandemic. The first is the paper from Imperial College London, which, in March 2020, was influential in persuading the UK government to impose a lockdown. Because it assumes stability, this first example of modeling fails. A different modeling strategy is required, one less ambitious but more effective. This is illustrated by a second paper from Imperial College London, which, in December 2020, first estimated the transmissibility of the Alpha variant.

La educación superior es el principal motor del desarrollo de un país. En el caso de América Latina y, específicamente, del Ecuador, las universidades se enfrentan a diversos retos de cara a su respuesta ante las principales problemáticas de la sociedad contemporánea. La gerencia educativa se encuentra ante el reto de responder eficientemente ante estas problemáticas y demandas. El objetivo del trabajo es describir las características de la gerencia educativa en la educación superior ecuatoriana, realizando una revisión de carácter teórico-documental. Se halló que las universidades ecuatorianas se enfrentan al reto de mejorar los niveles de calidad académica y los índices de docencia e investigación. Los programas de formación no responden a las demandas del siglo XXI. Las organizaciones de educación superior cuentan con escaso financiamiento por parte del Estado. Se concluye que la gerencia educativa se caracteriza por la toma de decisiones enfocada en intereses políticos, dejando de lado la pertinencia académica en la gestión.

Authors: Oka Dharmayuda Cokorda Gde , Susila I Made Arya , Krisna Gede Aditya
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Intertrochanteric fractures (IFF) are difficult for orthopedic surgeons to treat. Only a few studies have looked specifically at the treatment of stable trochanteric fractures, and the majority of them found no differences in implant failure or reoperation rates between the PFNA and the DHS. The goal of this study is to examine the functional outcomes and revision rates of these two operations for Type A1 Intertrochanteric Femoral Fracture
Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria were used to perform the systematic review. All statistical analyses were performed using the Review Manager version 5.3 software. We used PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library to conduct our research
Results: From multiple databases, the electronic search yielded 147 records. Four Studies were included in our study. ROM Outcome was measured using Harris Hip Score (HHS). No significant difference between PFNA and DHS in HHS (Heterogeneity, I2 = 99 percent; WMD, -1.02; 95 percent Confidence Interval (CI), -6.72 to 4.69; P=0.73). Rate of revision also found no significant difference between the two groups (Heterogeneity, I2=57 percent; WMD, 1.37; 95 percent Confidence Interval (CI), 0.40 to 4.69; P = 0.61).
Conclusion: PFNA and DHS are both viable options in the treatment of stable intertrochanter femur fractures, as both treatments have a similar 1-year functional outcome.

Key words: PFNA, DHS, Type A1 Intertrochanteric Femoral Fracture.

Public places which include city parks in outdoor spaces are still deficient to be utilized or developed as children's play spaces in residential environments. Law No.23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, it is clearly stated about playing as a child's right (Article 11) and playground as a facility that must be provided by the Government (Article 56). The provision of children’s playground in outdoor spaces with an adequate facility becomes a necessity and the importance of its existence of outdoor spaces in residential areas in Medan Johor Sub district.
Medan Johor Sub district has a fairly rapid population development from year to year. This can be seen from number of built areas, especially in housing. Most of the residents in this area are immigrants, either those who live temporarily or who have regularly settled in Medan Johor District. Consequently, the need for a proper housing and equipped facilities is huge. The facility mean is the outdoor space available with a playroom facility as a tool for children to play, besides, it can also be utilized as interaction area among the residents.
This research conducted to discover the condition of outdoor space in Medan Johor Subdistrict in terms of fulfillment the criteria for children's play space requirements and the arrangement of using the open spaces in Medan Johor Sub district as a place to play for children. Analysis of the condition of the green open space as a means of children's playground is analyzed based on the following variables: safety, health, comfort, convenience, security, and beauty.
The method used in this research is the observation and interview to identify the condition of facilities available in the children’s playground. The playground still has to be addressed in order to achieve a proper playground for its users, especially children. So based on the research, we can find out about the feasibility of the playground in the research location.

La digitalisation : Un levier de développement du secteur de la microfinance
Authors: Mirimi Nadia , Mhamdi Mohamed
Published: May 2022

La transformation digitale est sur toutes les lèvres, c’est le concept qui « buzz » en ce moment comme en témoignent les échanges du dernier African Digital Summit. Dans l'univers digital actuel, la finance se doit d’être plus agile. Toutes les branches de la finance ont subi ou subissent une transformation digitale. Cette vague disruptive n’a pas manqué de rattraper aujourd’hui la microfinance. Un secteur qui compte à ce jour plus de 6,7 milliards de DH d’encours pour un total de 938.000 bénéficiaires, considérant la forte composante sociale que recèle l’activité du microcrédit. Cette digitalisation peut impliquer plusieurs défis pour le secteur qui peuvent être  résumés en deux volets : la nécessaire évolution institutionnelle pour exploiter le potentiel existant d’une part, et d’autre part, l’exploitation des opportunités qu’offre le digital. En cela, les acteurs du secteur, à savoir les institutions de microfinance, devront prendre le tournant de la finance digitale en développant le bon business model. Ce dernier doit intégrer évidemment des problématiques technologiques, mais également opérationnelles, réglementaires et d’expérience client.

L’objectif de cet article est de mettre en relief la relation entre la digitalisation et le développement des institutions de microfinance qui sont amenées à repenser leurs processus, leurs modes de fonctionnement, leurs pratiques managériales voire même leur culture d’entreprise et donc miser sur le canal digital comme nouveau levier de distribution de leurs produits et services.

Building Black
Authors: Mason Elliot C.
Published: May 2022

Building Black: Towards Antiracist Architecture brings together the forefronts of Black Studies and architectural theory. Only recently, architecture and urban planning have started to confront their constitution of race as a social referent, and their part in the establishment of racist logics. This confrontation usually results in projects that respond to their surroundings, that merge into a changing and multicultural city. Building Black, however, proposes the construction of a Black radical position: building islands of resistance against the expanding sea of imperial architecture.

In Building Black, Mason reads the racial meaning of current construction projects in England through the histories of race and architecture. Closely reading Immanuel Kant’s formulation of the Subject as the creator of space and the development of whiteness in Modernist architecture, Mason finds that Blackness is an ongoing, antecedent island that can never quite be subsumed in the racializing project of modernity. Pushing this further, he positions antiracist architecture on a self-enclosed island de-linked from the city, preserving a sociality that cannot be incorporated into liberal universality.

Alongside sustained critiques of architectural theory and Western philosophy, and close engagements with Black Studies and Indigenous thinking, Mason offer a critique of the writing subject as a collaborator in the racialization of urban cartography. In response, Mason turns inwards in this book, opening the impossibility of the writer’s position in architecture and philosophy, and setting up an alternative mode of self-critical architectural writing.
Building Participatory Knowledge Infrastructure Against the GMO Agribusiness Regime: The Case of Los Campamentos Sanitarios
Authors: Arancibia Florencia , Arza Valeria , Verzeñassi Damián , Frickel Scott
Published: May 2022

From 2010 to 2019, Argentinian medical students and faculty at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario worked with allies from grassroots movements to routinize new epidemiological data collection practices designed to call medical students’ attention to the public health consequences of industrial agriculture’s indiscriminate use of pesticides. This paper charts the rise and fall of their collective efforts to institutionalize participatory knowledge and pedagogy that directly challenged the political legitimacy of industrial agriculture. We anchor our study in a trio of concepts—sociotechnical regime, niche, and network—using these tools to describe the dynamic interplay among dominant and subordinate knowledge systems. Our analysis reveals that radical participatory projects cannot be understood without reference to the historical and institutional contexts that structure opportunities and constraints within which participatory knowledge research is developed, implemented, and sustained.

sueños de la inmortalidad engendran máquinas
Authors: Andrade Ricardo
Published: May 2022

La conciencia de la muerte determina nuestra proyección hacia el mundo. Esta determinación es la que permite pensar simbólicamente la existencia, es decir, elabora arquitecturas conceptuales que se abren hacia el futuro a partir de lo ya vivido. La finitud, a raíz de esto, se vuelve el eje central del sujeto. Frente a esta conciencia, el transhumanismo postula una superación de los límites a través de la tecnología. Lo tecnológico impulsa los sueños de la inmortalidad. En este sentido, el presente artículo busca ahondar en el debate entre las filosofías de la finitud y los proyectos de mejoramiento humano.

Captura incidental y mortalidad de tortugas marinas en la pesca artesanal de enmalle en Tumbes, Perú
Authors: Vera Manuel , Alemán Solange , Cobeñas Manuel , Carrillo Omar , Flores Renán
Published: May 2022

Se presenta información sobre captura incidental de tortugas marinas en la pesquería de enmalle de Tumbes, de octubre a diciembre 2017, de noviembre a diciembre 2018 y de abril a diciembre 2019. Se realizaron 160 salidas a bordo de embarcaciones artesanales, efectuando 1.238,8 horas efectivas de pesca en 190 lances de pesca. Se capturaron incidentalmente33 ejemplares de las especies Chelonia mydas “tortuga verde”, Lepidochelys olivacea “tortuga pico de loro” y no identificados. Se avistaron 59 ejemplares nadando o alimentándose cerca de las embarcaciones. La captura incidental por unidad de esfuerzo (CIUE) varió de 0,03 tortugas/lance-1 (cortina de fondo de 38-95 mm, para captura de Merluccius gayi peruanus “merluza” y Cynoscion analis “cachema”) a 2,27 tortugas/lance-1 (cortina de superficie de 178-203 mm, para captura de Thunnus albacares “tuno”). Los valores más altos de mortalidad (66,7%) se registraron con cortina de fondo de 152-229 mm (captura de Pseudobatos planiceps “guitarra” y Batoidea “raya”), siendo C. mydas y L. olivacea las especies afectadas. La longitud curva del caparazón promedio (LCC) de ejemplares de C. mydas capturados incidentalmente fue 55,5 ±10,2 cm LCC. Ejemplares de L. olivacea midieron 60,6 y 66,7 cm LCC. El 96,7% de ejemplares de C. mydas se consideraron juveniles; los ejemplares de L. olivacea, fueron sub adulto y adulto. Los resultados de nuestras investigaciones indicarían que, en los últimos años, los ejemplares adultos y sub adultos de C. mydas y L. olivacea en el litoral de Tumbes han disminuido, por lo que se recomienda el desarrollo de programas de concienciación, monitoreo y de protección de zonas críticas para la conservación de estos organismos en el Pacífico oriental tropical.
Estimación de pérdida económica por extracción se semilla de concha de abanico Argopecten purpuratus en Bahía Independencia (14°15’S) durante periodo cálido 2015 - 2017
Authors: Galindo Flores Oscar , Quispe Cayhualla Sixto
Published: May 2022

Entre los años 2015 y 2017, la temperatura superficial del mar en bahía Independencia (14°15’S), se caracterizó por anomalías térmicas positivas, que alcanzó el máximo de +3,0 °C en enero 2016, condición que favoreció el crecimiento poblacional de la concha de abanico. La presencia de semillas de esta especie generó expectativas para su extracción, a pesar de ser una actividad ilegal, que se desarrolló con fines de confinamiento dentro yfuera de la bahía Independencia. En marzo 2016, en Laguna Grande se descargó 3,32 t de ejemplares de 22,4 mm de altura promedio, incrementándose los desembarques hasta alcanzar 20,77 t en junio 2016, totalizando ese año 59,665 t. En el 2017, se observó baja disponibilidad de semilla, el desembarque en setiembre fue 0,13 t. En base a los desembarques y pesos individuales, se calculó la extracción de 19,691 millones de ejemplares de semilla, que generó un valor de comercialización de 1,026 millones de soles. Las tallas proyectadas a 12 meses (K = 0,5 año-1, L∞ = 118 mm y t0 = 0) corresponderían a un valor de 9,846 millones de soles. El cálculo económico nos permitió determinar una pérdida económica mayor a los 8 millones de soles, además de la pérdida poblacional del recurso, considerando que las condiciones cálidas incrementan la frecuencia reproductiva (desoves sucesivos), aportando nuevos cohortes a la población. La extracción ilegal de semilla de concha de abanico afectó la producción somática en los bancos naturales de bahía Independencia durante El Niño Costero 2017, afectando al ciclo natural de la especie.

In India the status of women is very low in comparison to men. They treated as a subordinate in the society. Women in independent India have more rights than their counterparts in many other countries of the world. But most of our women are not very much conscious of their rights. If we talk about rural women, they are totally unaware about their rights due to high intensity of patriarchal values in the family. They are only busy in child bearing and other household activities. Such unawareness and less education make them feeble in comparison to men. Through the present paper the attempt has been made to focus on the status of women in Ancient India and in present India and their legal rights.

In this article researchers will explain about Business Judgment Rule and how it can be used as a defence by the directors’ of the corporation. In simple language it can be said that the “Business judgment rule” is nothing but a judicially evolved doctrine derived out of case laws in the field of corporate laws. This doctrine has its origin in USA followed by U.K. The rule is in use in some form or the other in the common law countries e.g. whales, Australia, Canada, India &c. Australia has codified this rule under sec.1180(2) Corporations Act 2001, in South Africa Companies Act 71 of 200 section 76(4) provides for director’s duty to work towards best interest of the business with due care, skill and diligence, in India section 166(2) of Companies Act, 2013 requires that for the benefit of different constituencies of a company a director must act bona fide to promote the object of the company. The Business Judgment Rule tries to protect the directors of the company by creating a safe harbour for those who works for the betterment and interest of the corporations in an honest manner and in good faith. The scope of the paper is restricted to mainly US decisions, which has seen the greatest development in interpreting cases, though certain important landmarks in the Indian and UK context have also been referred to. The paper is limited by secondary sources such as books, articles and reports available on the subject.

Background: Several therapeutic methods have been proposed for frozen shoulder syndrome. These include suprascapular nerve block, a simple and cost-effective technique that eliminates the need for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy.Methods: This was a clinical trial that included patients with unilateral shoulder joint stiffness. Patients were divided into three groups: those treated with isolated physiotherapy for 12 weeks (PT group), those treated with a single dose intra-articular injection of corticosteroid together with physiotherapy (IACI group), and those treated with a suprascapular nerve block performed with a single indirect injection of 8-mL lidocaine HCL 1% and 2 mL (80 mg) methylprednisolone acetate together with physiotherapy (SSNB group). The variables assessed were age, sex, side of involvement, dominant limb, presence of diabetes, physical examination findings including erythema, swelling, and muscle wasting; palpation and movement findings; shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) score; and the visual analog scale (VAS) score pre-intervention and at 2-, 4-, 6-, and 12-week post-intervention.Results: Ninety-seven patients were included in this survey (34 cases in the PT group, 32 cases in the IACI group, and 31 cases in the SSNB group). Mean age was 48.55±11.06 years. Fifty-seven cases were female (58.8%) and 40 were male (41.2%). Sixty-eight patients had a history of diabetes (70.1%). VAS and SPADI scores and range of mototion degrees dramatically improved in all cases (p<0.001). Results were best in the SSNB group (p<0.001), and the IACI group showed better results than the PT group (p<0.001).Conclusions: Suprascapular nerve block is an effective therapy with long-term pain relief and increased mobility of the shoulder joint in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
Just Because We Can Doesn’t Mean We Should: On Knowing and Protecting Data Produced by the Jewish Consumptives’ Relief Society
Authors: Maness Jack , Pham Kim
Published: May 2022

A recent project at the University of Denver Libraries used handwritten text recognition (HTR) software to create transcriptions of records from the Jewish Consumptives’ Relief Society (JCRS), a tuberculosis sanatorium located in Denver, Colorado from 1904 to 1954. Among a great many other potential uses, these type- and hand-written records give insight into the human experience of disease and epidemic, its treatment, its effect on cultures, and of Jewish immigration to and early life in the American West. Our intent is to provide these transcripts as data so the text may be computationally analyzed, pursuant to a larger effort in developing capacity in services and infrastructure to support digital humanities as a library, and to contribute to the emerging HTR ecosystem in archival work. Just because we can, however, doesn’t always mean we should: the realities of publishing large datasets online that contain medical and personal histories of potentially vulnerable people and communities introduce serious ethical considerations. This paper both underscores the value of HTR and frames ethical considerations related to protecting data derived from it. It suggests a terms-of-use intervention perhaps valuable to similar projects, one that balances meeting the research needs of digital scholars with the care and respect of persons, their communities and inheritors, who lives produced the very data now valuable to those researchers.
Zaman Pencereli Evde Bakım/Beslenme Hizmeti Yönlendirme Problemi İçin Karınca Koloni Algoritması
Authors: CAN Burak , EROL Prof. Dr. Hamza
Published: May 2022

Ülkemizde ve Dünya genelinde hızla artan yaşlı nüfus oranı dikkat çekmektedir. Yaşlanan bu nüfus ile birlikte de bazı sorunlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Yaşlanan insanların vücut dirençlerinin düşmesi, metabolik reaksiyonlarının yavaşlaması, hareket kabiliyetlerinin zayıflaması, düşünüp karar verebilme yetilerinin azalması gibi birçok sebepten bu insanlar bakıma muhtaç hale gelmektedir. Ayrıca muhtaç olma durumu sadece yaşlı insanlarda değil fiziksel veya zihinsel anlamda doğuştan ya da sonradan engelli olan insanlarda da görülmektedir.

İnsanlar hasta, yaşlı veya engelli olmasalar dahi ameliyat, tedavi, muayene gibi sağlık hizmetlerinin arkasından sunulan sosyal bakım hizmetlerini evlerinde almak istemektedirler. Evde sunulan bu sağlık veya bakım hizmetleri ile ayrıca devletlerin sağlık kurumlarındaki mali giderler düşürülmekte ve bu kurum veya kuruluşlar fazladan iş yükünden de kurtulmaktadırlar.

Bu çalışma da evde sunulan bakım hizmetleri kapsamında yer alan beslenme veya üç öğün yemek dağıtımında araçların en kısa mesafe ve dolayısıyla zamanda yönlendirilmesi, mevcut maliyetleri düşürmek için meta sezgisel yöntemlerden Karınca Koloni Algoritması ile iyileştirmelerin yapılması sağlanarak ihtiyaç sahibi insanlara ulaştırılan hizmetin kalitesinin arttırılmasına yardımcı olunmuştur. Bu yolla mobil hizmet sunan araç maliyetlerinin azaltılmasının yanı sıra hizmet veren ekibin tükenmişliği de azaltılarak hizmet veriminin artırılmasını hedeflenmiştir.
