Human Action Recognition Based on Bag-of-Words
Authors: Abdul Ameer Riyadh Sahib , Al-Taei Mohammed
Published: May 2020

Human action recognition has gained popularity because of its wide applicability, such as in patient monitoring systems, surveillance systems, and a wide diversity of systems that contain interactions between people and electrical devices, including human computer interfaces. The proposed method includes sequential stages of object segmentation, feature extraction, action detection and then action recognition. Effective results of human actions using different features of unconstrained videos was a challenging task due to camera motion, cluttered background, occlusions, complexity of human movements, and variety of same actions performed by distinct subjects. Thus, the proposed method overcomes such problems by using the fusion of features concept for the development of a powerful human action descriptor. This descriptor is modified to create a visual word vocabulary (or codebook) which yields a Bag-of-Words representation. The True Positive Rate (TPR) and False Positive Rate (FPR) measures gave a true indication about the proposed HAR system. The computed Accuracy (Ar) and the Error (misclassification) Rate (Er) reveal the effectiveness of the system with the used dataset.
The Use of HSV Color Model for Subtle Ear Region Extraction
Authors: Tuama Saba A. , Saud Jamila H.
Published: May 2020

Identifying people by their ear has recently received import attention in the literature. The accurate segmentation of the ear region is vital in order to make successful person identification decisions. This paper presents an effective approach for ear region segmentation from color ear images. Firstly, the RGB color model was converted to the HSV color model. Secondly, thresholding was utilized to segment the ear region. Finally, the morphological operations were applied to remove small islands and fill the gaps. The proposed method was tested on a database which consisted of 105 ear images taken from the right sides of 105 subjects. The experimental results of the proposed approach on a variety of ear images revealed that this approach is efficient in segmenting ear images under various environments and it gave a detection rate of 98.61% for ear segmentation.
Jerzy Grotowski y la peligrosidad de los prólogos
Authors: Geirola Gustavo
Published: May 2020

El ensayo es una aproximación preliminar a la relectura crítica de Hacia un teatro pobre, de Grotowski. Considerando la versión en inglés (1968) y la traducción al español (1970), se cuestiona la pertinencia, los beneficios y hasta los obstáculos que la nota escrita por la traductora Margo Glantz, la nota anónima y el prefacio de Peter Brook aportan, cuando no desvirtúan, la lectura de la propuesta del maestro polaco. Esos prolegómenos, que en su momento presentaron a Grotowski a un público occidental, pueden ser hoy considerados en parte responsables del dogmatismo con el que se dispersó su enseñanza por el mundo y del misticismo que rodeó a la figura del maestro. Se hace, pues, necesario, revisar esas lecturas para liberar los textos grotowskianos y abrirlos a perspectivas contemporáneas en la praxis teatral.The Legacy of Jerzy Grotowski in Argentine TheatreAbstractThe essay is a preliminary approach to a critical reading of Grotowski’s Towards a Poor Theatre, taking into consideration the English version of 1968 and its Spanish translation of 1970. The author problematizes the introductory ‘note’ written by Margo Glantz (translator of the Spanish version), and the preface by Peter Brook, arguing that they distort the reading of the Polish director’s work. Those texts, which at the time served the purpose of introducing Grotowski to a Western audience, can be considered today partly responsible for the dogmatism with which his teaching was received around the world and the mysticism with which he was cloaked. It is therefore necessary to critique these readings, and thus open Grotowski’s writings to a contemporary understanding of theatrical praxis.Recibido: 28 de enero de 2020Aceptado: 03 de marzo de 2020

Prediction of welding bead geometry for wire arc additive manufacturing of SS308l walls using response surface methodology
Authors: Van Thao Le , Dinh Si Mai , Tat Khoa Doan , Quang Huy Hoang
Published: May 2020

In the wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process, the geometry of single welding beads has significant effects on the stability process and the final quality and shape of manufactured parts. In this paper, the geometry of single welding beads of 308L stainless steel was predicted as functions of process parameters (i.e. welding current I, voltage U, and travel speed v) by using the response surface methodology (RSM). A set of experimental runs was carried out by using the Box-Behnken design method. The adequacy of the developed models was assessed by using an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicate that the RSM allows the predictive models of bead width (BW) and bead height (BH) to be developed with a high accuracy: R2-values of BW and BH are 99.01% and 99.61%, respectively. The errors between the predicted and experimental values for the confirmatory experiments are also lower than 5% that again confirms the adequacy of the developed models. These developed models can efficiently be used to predict the desirable geometry of welding beads for the adaptive slicing principle in WAAM.

Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos da interferência de telefone móvel sobre a memória e atenção em universitários e características determinantes da dependência do smartphone. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo observacional e transversal. Participaram da pesquisa 235 acadêmicos de uma universidade pública, de ambos os sexos, idade de 18 a 39 anos que preencheram um formulário sócio demográfico e uma escala de dependência ao smartphone. Os voluntários considerados dependentes foram divididos em três grupos: telefone à vista; telefone somestésico; telefone fora da vista e foram submetidos aos testes de memória e atenção. Resultados: Não foi observado nesse estudo diferenças quanto à memória e atenção nas três condições experimentais. A prevalência da dependência foi 62,55% nos universitários, com predominância maior no sexo feminino. Já a condição de viver “sozinho” foi associada a uma maior dependência. Também foi observado que a dependência é mais frequente em indivíduos que não trabalham. Conclusão: Conclui-se que não existe déficit para realização de atividades que envolvam memória e atenção, se o aparelho celular estiver próximo ou distante do estudante. No entanto, a alta porcentagem de universitários dependentes ao aparelho se torna um problema de saúde pública por causa das consequências à saúde mental, social ou física.
Catalytic Dealkylative Synthesis of Cyclic Carbamates and Ureas via Hydrogen Atom Transfer and Radical-Polar Crossover
Authors: Nagai Takuya , Mimata Nao , Terada Yoshihiro , Sebe Chikayoshi , Shigehisa Hiroki
Published: May 2020

Guided by the transition metal hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover concept, we developed a catalytic, Markovnikov-selective, functional-group tolerant, and scalable synthesis of cyclic carbamates, which are found in the structures of many bioactive compounds. This method not only provides common oxazolidinones but also six-to-eight-membered ring products. The reaction proceeds through the intramolecular displacement of an alkylcobalt(IV) in-termediate and dealkylation by 2,4,6-collidine; the activation energies of these steps were calculated by DFT. Cyclic ureas and cyclic phosphoramidates were also synthesized under the same reaction conditions.
Molecular Mechanism of Clinically Oriented Drug Famotidine with the Identified Potential Target of SARS-CoV-2
Authors: Sen Gupta Parth Sarthi , Biswal Satyaranjan , Singha Dipankar , Rana Malay Kumar
Published: May 2020

Due to the current pandemic nature, severity, and rapid spread of COVID-19, there is eminent need to identify potential therapeutics to inhibit the novel coronavirus. In the quest, scientists from the USA had reported that the use of Famotidine in patients was associated with improved clinical outcomes and a reduced risk of intubation or death from COVID-19. However, the exact mode of action, the binding mechanism, and precise COVID-19 molecular target with which Famotidine interacts are yet to be ascertained. Here, 12 different COVID-19 protein targets have been screened against Famotidine employing molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. This reveals, among all the targets, the Papain-like protease (PLpro) as the potential target having the strongest affinity to Famotidine estimated to be of -7.9 kcal/mol with three hydrogen bonds. Tyrosine residue in the 268th position in the binding site seems to be very crucial for the stability of the PLpro-Famotidine complex, giving rise to multiple interactions such as hydrogen bonding as well as π-Sulfur. While the post-molecular dynamics (MD) analyses such as the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) and fluctuation (RMSF), the radius of gyration (Rg), and the principal component analysis (PCA) affirm the stability of the complex providing an insight into the binding mechanism, the identification of a valid target PLpro of SARS-COV-2 for Famotidine would help understand its action, further development, and experimental exploration.

Published: May 2020

Photo-electro-chemical (PEC) water splitting represents a promising technology towards an artificial photosynthetic device but many fundamental electronic processes, which govern long-term stability and energetics are not well understood. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), particularly its high energy resolution fluorescence-detected (HERFD) mode, emerges as a powerful tool to study photo-excited charge carrier behavior under operating conditions. The established thin film device architecture of PEC cells provides a well-defined measurement geometry, but it puts many constraints on conducting operando XAS experiments. So far, operando cells have not been developed that enable to concurrently measure highly intense X-ray fluorescence and photo-electro-chemical current without experimental artifacts caused by O2 and H2 bubbles formation. Moreover, we are missing a standardized thin film exchange procedure. Here, we address and overcome the instrumental limitations for operando HERFD-XAS to investigate photo- and electrochemical thin film devices. Our cell establishes a measurement routine that will provide experimental access to a broader scientific community, particularly due to the ease of sample exchange. Our operando photo-electro-chemical cell is optimized for the HERFD-XAS geometry and we demonstrate its operation by collecting high-resolution Fe K-edge spectra of hematite (α-Fe2O3) and ferrite thin film (MFe2O4, M= Zn, Ni) photoelectrodes during water oxidation.

Published: May 2020

O texto apresenta parte dos resultados e reflexões que emergiram ao longo da pesquisa concluída no âmbito do mestrado em educação da Universidade Estadual Paulista (FCT/UNESP). Objetiva discutir os limites da formação inicial e contínua dos professores dos anos iniciais, no que diz respeito ao ensino de Ciências Naturais, diante do contexto das escolas públicas municipais de Manaus-AM. Os dados foram construídos por meio de questionários e entrevistas. A pesquisa norteia suas explanações a partir do diálogo entre o método Hermenêutico Crítico (GHEDIN, 2004; GHEDIN & FRANCO, 2008) coadunado aos conceitos da Teoria da Enunciação (BAKHTIN, 1997, 2006). Os resultados indicam que os professores não orientam a construção da prática docente fundamentalmente a partir dos conhecimentos projetados na formação inicial e contínua. No tocante à formação inicial, argumentaram que consideram os processos distantes da realidade escolar e excessivamente teóricos. Falas que são contextualizadas diante do cenário histórico da constituição do curso de Pedagogia. Em relação aos cursos de formação contínua, os docentes os percebem como desorganizados, fragmentados e teóricos. Em suma, o ensino de ciências tem ampliado cada vez mais seu escopo e complexidade enquanto corpo de conhecimentos, possuindo imbricações em diversas áreas, o que fez emergir um conjunto de tendências para o ensino de ciências; portanto, os processos formativos dos professores que ministram Ciências Naturais no Ensino Fundamental I são insuficientes para a compreensão e atuação frente a tais demandas. Para tanto, é necessário maior atenção e reais esforços para mudar o quadro formativo que se apresenta.

Young Idler, Old Beggar: Reflections on the Chinese National College Entrance Exam
Authors: Zhang Yuanmeng
Published: May 2020

He jerks up, gasping for air, the back of his shirt soaked with cold sweat. Not again. He turns his head to the side, to his wife who lies sound asleep next to him. Even as an alumnus of Peking University, the top university in China, my forty six year-old father still suffers from nightmares about the Gaokao (also known as NCEE, or the National College Entrance Examination). Gaokao is the graduation exam administered to millions of high school seniors in China each year. While some students avoid this test by studying abroad, students who plan to attend universities in China have no choice but to prepare for the NCEE. Even though it is terribly grueling to study for and take the NCEE, most Chinese students see the test as their sole path to future success.

Published: May 2020

The Bayer Color Filter Array (CFA) is commonly used in such industries as digital cameras. However, due to the arrangement of color channels in the Bayer CFA, it becomes a problem to estimate the missed color information in each pixel. The algorithms that deal with this problem are named "demosaicking algorithms". There are many demosaicking algorithms, which show different efficiency and image quality for different images. This paper proposes an algorithm that combines two existing algorithms to reach better image qualities and acceptable computing complexities. The experimental results indicate effectiveness in terms of the balance between complexity and quality.
É luta ou dança? Reinventando a capoeira na Bretanha francesa
Authors: Carvalho Nascimento Ricardo
Published: May 2020

Entre as narrativas-mito de compreensão da capoeira como gênero performático, encontramos, quase sempre, a dimensão de que, em sua gênese, se trata de uma luta disfarçada de dança. Neste artigo, problematizamos esta propriedade polissêmica da prática da capoeira, através de um estudo de caso de um grupo de dança e capoeira residente na região da Bretanha francesa, a Cie Ladainha e da Cooperative Bretonne de Capoeira. Argumentamos que nos processos transnacionais deste gênero performático, o imaginário estético da capoeira como forma de dança foi objeto de mobilização para formação e implantação de grupos de praticantes.
A web of orixás: Technology and the transmission of Candomblé songs in Bahia and Berlin
Authors: Graeff Nina
Published: May 2020

This paper draws upon ethnographic field research on the transmission of the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé in two contrastive contexts: Recôncavo da Bahia and Berlin. Whereas in the religion's original region, Bahia, people are immersed in what can be considered a universe of orixás – Candomblé’s West-African deities –, in Germany, a country with almost no references of the tradition, a context must be created for its practice. In this sense, technology, and especially the internet, should facilitate the transmission of Candomblé by displaying cultural references, from videos of rituals to lyrics of orixás songs, and connecting migrants and foreigners to its symbology, myths, songs and dances despite the physical distance from Brazil. Paradoxically, although in Bahia technology is considered an additional tool for learning, in Berlin, where references lack, it is a kind of taboo, bringing about controversies in the transmission of knowledge. While unveiling different modes of learning Candomblé’s bodily knowledge, this paper seeks to demonstrate through this paradox the intricacies of practical learning as well as of the interrelation between practice and discourse.

Background: Time management is one of the factors that may influence students’ academic performance in university. A cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate the role of motivation camp programme towards time management among first-year undergraduate students of the Biomedical Science Programme, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) by using a questionnaire.  Methods: A total of 32 students was categorized into group 1 and group 2 (n=16 per group), with group 1 is students who did not attend the motivational camp and group2 participated in the camp. Their academic performance in terms of Grade Point Average (GPA) was evaluated in semester 1 and 2 of the 2017/2018 session. A correlation test between total study hours and GPA in both semesters showed a weak correlation for group1 and group2. Independent T-test was also carried out to compare time management and GPA. Results: There is no significant difference between group1 and group2 in time planning; however, there is a significant difference (p<0.05) between both groups in time attitude. Lastly, though all students in group2 showed an increment in GPA, Fisher’s test revealed no association between motivation camp and GPA. Discussion and Conclusion: This study indicated that by having the motivational camp alone, it may not warrant the improvement in time management skill and academic performance among the first-year undergraduate students of Biomedical Science, UKM. Data from this study can help educators to improve the programme with post-camp activities to enhance the outcomes.

Published: May 2020

This study is preliminary research of "The Trend Forecasting Translation Analysis in The Context of Craft". Trend Forecasting is a developed method that aims to predict future trends through research and analysis based on factual data of phenomena that occurs during certain time frames. The process includes analyzing various factors including technological development, lifestyle, also shifts of paradigm that form strategic decisions towards product design. However, the role of the trend forecast being applied to today’s craft designing process needs to be further reviewed. It is related to the fact where traditional elements are attached to all craft products, emphasized to be well-preserved in showing its characteristics of culture and tradition. This study seeks to map where the position of tradition takes place among the trend forecasting process through the analysis of a.) field studies in institutions and practitioners in the field of trend forecast; b.) comparative study of the position of tradition in the process of trend forecasting based on three kinds of literature namely ”The Trend Forecaster’s Handbook”, ”How to Research Trends”, and ”Fashion Forecasting”. In the scope of methods, the results of this study show that tradition stands as a significant data in the process of constructing a trend forecast. However, the perspective is not under the context of local culture but as the behavior of people.

Milk is one of the main sources of nutrients to animals, but due to its high water activity, it serves as an ideal medium for the growth of microorganisms. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the microbial load in raw cow’s milk and to identify the possible sources of raw milk contamination in Joanna. Fifteen (15) raw milk samples were collected randomly according to the simple random sampling method and farmers were interviewed. Raw milk samples were analysed for Escherichia coli and aerobic bacteria. From the 15 samples of raw milk, contamination with E. coli (93.33%) and aerobic bacteria (100%) was observed. Also, several factors, milk handling practices, unhygienic practices, extensive farming systems, and lack of general zoonoses exposure practices and awareness, predisposed raw milk to microbial contamination. This research concluded that the quality of milk was unsatisfactory since it was heavily contaminated with bacteria. It is recommended that there should be an increase in the agriculture extension education and awareness programme to help improve milk quality.

Authors: Lotfipanah Mahdi
Published: May 2020

In 1994 a squared two-dimensional barcode was invented by Toyota Company which changed and speed up the concept of tracking and identification. They chose its name QR which stands for Quick Response code. Quick Response codes can convey data such as show a geographical location, make a phone call, link to a simple text, link to a website or template email, access to a portable document format (PDF), display an image, link and download a specific application on a mobile device or Wi-Fi login. Academic journal leaders should notice that QR code as a unique shaped matrix code is increasingly being used by prestigious publishers and scientific journals. But has been ignored by eastern scientific journals and academic institutes for many years. As the author checked all English Iranian journals, no Iranian academic publication or publisher has and uses QR code or even barcode on their websites or on their journal covers till 16 Dec 2019. In this review, the author aimed to explore the use of QR codes specifically for academic publications, identify perceptions towards their use and any information that has been encountered during implementation.
CORRELATION OF ASPHALTENE SOLVATION WITH STABILITY OF CRUDE OIL EMULSION USING SCALING EQUATIONS
Authors: Ekott Emmanuel
Published: May 2020

Due to the simplicity of scaling equations and its applicability to colloid chemistry, the scaling theory is widely used in studying emulsion properties such as force profiles. Scaling equations were developed for the studied samples for correlation of asphaltene solvation with stability of crude oil emulsions. Correlations were made for viscosity and percentage water resolved by varying the volume concentration of toluene in heptol mixture that was used as solvent for the asphaltene re-dissolution. The study shows that tuning the composition of heptol allows fine control of colloidal forces between asphaltene surfaces in an organic solvent and therefore determines the stability state of the emulsion. Statistically derived correlation equations provide for a range in the aromaticity of the crude medium for which an optimum stability is observed and therefore gives good understanding on the control of emulsion stability. The study further shows that emulsion inversion can be achieved by adjusting the concentration of surfactant.
