AN OPTIMIZED CLOUD BASED PROXY SERVER TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE USER EXPERIENCE OF SPECTRUM UTILIZATION
Authors:   Department of Computer Science, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, Oluwashola David Adeniji
Published: November 2022

The global growth and popularity of user experience with the Internet from academia research to multimedia has significantly increased the amount of information online and services available to public domain. This growth has created an unprecedented level of congestion on network infrastructures; scarce network bandwidths, valuable resources which are important and are obstacle to Internet access. The emerging data access can be priced per-byte at high cost, consuming up to 25% of a user’s total income, while in developed markets, data usage caps are a persistently zero, requiring users to track and manage consumption to avoid overage fees. In order to address this bandwidth problem, caching algorithm of proxies is employed at network access points to reduce the round trips of client server connections. However, caching is limited during queries of database because most of the content on the web today are dynamic. The focus of the study is to provide data compression techniques for reducing network access latency and to analyse the network traffic based on users’ experience.

Published: November 2022

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence real activity manipulation in corporations listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2016-2020 research period. A quantitative research method is designed in this research that collects secondary data from a company’s annual report. The sample used in this research is 25 manufacturing corporations with the number of corporations observed for 5 years as many as 125 manufacturing companies. The analytical method utilized in this research is the panel data regression method that selects one of the three best models to analyze data, and the best analytical model result is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach. The results show that institutional ownership, free cash flow, and voluntary disclosure effect negatively on real activity manipulation in corporations listed on the IDX. The limitation of this research is only using the samples from manufacturing corporations so that it cannot generalize the results to all types of companies and the research period of only 5 years narrows the number of companies observed.

Putting the Jury System on Trial
Authors: Chan Nathan , Yates John
Published: November 2022

The Sixth Amendment guarantees all United States citizens the “right to an impartial jury.” Yet, this is not the case. In this paper, I will focus on examining the racial bias and the prejudice against under-resourced defendants that plague the criminal justice system. However, I will argue that these flaws stem from the execution, not the theoretical basis, of jury trials. Rather, trials by jury are uniquely suited to encourage civic participation while preventing tyranny, which are key pillars of American democracy. Nonetheless, without action, the prejudice that has rendered jury trials unconstitutional will stop real justice from ever being reached. Thus, should a response be prompted against trials by jury, it should be one that reforms its bias and prejudice, instead of abolishment. In this paper, I will first discuss the failings of jury trials, before justifying why they should not be abolished and thereafter providing suggestions for their improvement.
Exploring the Impact of Geometry and Fibre Arrangements on Daylight Control in Bistable Kinetic Shades
Authors: Vazquez Elena , Duarte Jose
Published: November 2022

Bistable laminates are composite structures that exhibit more than one static configuration, showing a "snap-through" behaviour that results from residual stresses generated during the curing process. This study focuses on finding adequate fibre and laminate arrangements for bistable laminates used in functional kinetic shadings. We present a study with a mixed-methods approach, combining experimental prototyping and performance simulation studies. We fabricated and analysed the geometry of a series of prototypes, conducting daylight studies to assess the performance of different laminates and fibre arrangements and showing how specific fibre arrangements can help control daylight throughout the day. We concluded that controlling fibre arrangements of bistable laminates could increase the functionality of bistable kinetic shadings in terms of daylight control, leading to more differentiated shapes between their two stable states, which corresponds to the open and closed positions of the shadings. Increasing such a difference increases the range of system configurations and, therefore, the ability to respond to various external lighting conditions and internal user requirements.
NİZÂMÎ GENCEVÎ’NİN “HAMSE”SİNDE TANRI İNANCI VE PEYGAMBER SEVGİSİ
Authors: Aghayev Murad
Published: November 2022

Klasik dönem şiir yapıtlarının kendisine has özellikleri vardır. Belli üslup üzere kaleme alınan bu yapıtlar sahip oldukları iç ve dış bütünsellikleri ile önceki ve sonraki dönem şiir yapıtlarından ayrılmaktadır. Klasik dönem edebiyat örnekleri Allah’ın ve Hz. Peygamber’in övgüsü ile başlamakta ve eserin ithaf edildiği padişahın methi ile devam etmektedir. Klasik eserlerde özellikle Allah inancı büyük önem taşımaktadır. Aynı zamanda Peygamber sevgisi de klasik edebiyat örneklerinin vaz geçilmezidir. “Hz. Peygamber’in Miracı”, “Hz. Muhammed İçin Güzelleme” gibi başlıklar klasik Azerbaycan şiirinde çokça rastlanan Peygamber sevgisinin işlendiği bölümlerdendir. Bu bölümlerde şairler kendi düşünce dünyalarını ortaya koymuşlardır. Onlar, naklî, felsefî ve mantıkî delillere dayanarak Allah inancının diğer inançlardan üstün olduğunu ve Hz. Muhammed’in son peygamber olduğu üzerinde durmuşlardır. Klasik Azerbaycan edebiyatının en büyük temsilcilerinden biri hiç kuşkusuz Nizâmî Gencevî’dir. O, sadece Azerbaycan edebiyatının değil, aynı zamanda dünya edebiyatının büyük klasiklerindendir. Nizâmî Gencevî’yi diğer Türk şairlerinden farklı kılan özelliklerinden biri de ilk defa Azerbaycan-Türk edebiyatında “Hamse” (beşlik anlamına gelmektedir) yazmış olmasıdır. Aynı zamanda “Hamse”, Allah inancı ve Peygamber sevgisi açısından büyük önem kesb etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Nizâmî Gencevî’nin “Hamse”si pek çok açıdan değerlendirilecek, onun Tanrı ve peygamber sevgisini beyan eden orijinal fikirleri tespit edilerek araştırmaya tabi tutulacaktır.

Authors: SEZGİN Erkan , UYANIK Beyza
Published: November 2022

Eating out is more essential than ever before in social life. Consumers are considering food as well as the other factors when preferring restaurants. In this particular study, Conjoint Analysis was used to determine the restaurant preferences of Generation Z who are supposed to be the largest consumer group of the future. A pre-test was addressed to 21 participants about 10 restaurant evaluation factors of the Taband scale and the first three factors that were ranked the most importance were selected for the research. Finally, the first three factors that emerged as price/quality/location, food and atmosphere including 12 variables were presented to 172 Generation Z participants with 25 experimental design cards. The data obtained were evaluated with the Conjoint Analysis method and the benefit coefficients related to the factors were defined comparatively between the groups. According to the results of the study, although there are differences in the second and third preferences and rates of the groups, the atmosphere factor has always emerged as the first preference of the Generation Z.
Effect of a Small Amount of Cr and Mo on Aqueous CO2 Corrosion of Low-Alloyed Steel and Formation of Protective FeCO3 in Near-Saturation Conditions
Authors: Kondo Keiichi , Choi Yoon-Seok , Nešić Srdjan
Published: November 2022

The effect of a small amount (1 wt%) of Cr or Mo on aqueous CO2 corrosion of low-alloyed steel and the formation of protective FeCO3 corrosion product layers was investigated under controlled water chemistry conditions, where the bulk saturation value of FeCO3 was maintained at near-saturated condition. Changes in CO2 corrosion rate with exposure time were monitored by linear polarization resisitance measurements. The surface morphology and the composition of the corrosion product layers were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. Results showed that the emergence of a continuous Fe3C layer created favorable conditions at the surface of nonalloyed steel (containing no Cr and Mo) for semiprotective FeCO3 to form even though the bulk saturation value of FeCO3 was maintained at near-saturated condition. However, semiprotective FeCO3 was not observed on the surface of 1% Cr steel and 1% Mo steel, but rather discontinuous and porous corrosion product layer was formed. Due to the hydrolysis reactions of Cr3+ and Mo3+, and the discontinuous structure of the corrosion product layers, the surface conditions for 1% Cr steel and 1% Mo steel were not favorable for the formation of FeCO3 under the experimental conditions of this study.
Environment-Assisted Crack Initiation in Aluminum Alloys Studied by Local Probe Techniques
Authors: Blanc Christine , Oltra Roland
Published: November 2022

Environment-assisted crack initiation in aluminum alloys is strongly related to the physical and chemical reactivity of intermetallic particles (IMPs) whatever their location, i.e., at grain boundaries or in the matrix. Therefore, this paper first focuses on the most recent contribution of microscale local probe techniques to the study of processes occurring at the coarse IMPs that need to be taken into account in the initiation stage of environment-assisted cracking (EAC). A critical review of microscale electrochemistry, chemistry, and analysis of the influence of stress on IMPs leading to the microscale analysis of crack incubation is presented. Moreover, the contribution of hydrogen to the initiation of EAC remains a widely debated issue. Therefore, the second part of this paper more specifically reviews and summarizes the contribution of some specific local probe techniques to a better understanding of the contribution of hydrogen enrichment to environment-assisted crack initiation. The remaining challenges in future studies needed to fully elucidate hydrogen-assisted cracking mechanisms at the microscale are discussed.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

Cardiac involvement is one of the major mortality factors in systemic sclerosis (SSc). This observational study aimed to compare patients with and without heart involvement in the course of SSc.

Material and methods

Electronic medical records of patients treated between January 2021 and August 2022 in the Department of Rheumatology were searched for the diagnosis of SSc (ICD-10 code M47). The clinical characteristics of patients with and without heart involvement in the course of SSc were compared.

Results

Out of 36 patients with SSc, 7 patients were diagnosed with heart disease in the course of SSc. The major type of cardiac involvement was myocarditis (71%). The majority of patients with heart involvement had elevated troponin (86%) and NT-proBNP (71%) concentrations. The most common finding observed in echocardiography was diastolic failure (71%). The most frequent abnormality found in 24-hour Holter ECG was isolated supraventricular extrasystoles (100%). Risk factors for developing heart disease in the course of SSc were male gender (p = 0.018), diffuse type of SSc (p = 0.03), higher values of modified Rodnan skin score (p < 0.001), gastrointestinal tract involvement (p = 0.027) and myositis (p = 0.018).

Conclusions

Optimal screening for heart disease is needed in this group of patients.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

Bone loss is a common feature in several autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Indeed, the high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines seem to enhance bone resorption and to diminish bone formation, thus producing an uncoupling between osteoclast and osteoblast function and favoring the onset of juxtarticular as well as systemic osteoporosis. Many papers underline the high prevalence of osteoporosis in RA, as well as the negative correlation between interleukin 6 (IL-6) serum levels and bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of one-year treatment with tocilizumab (TCZ), the first approved IL-6 receptor inhibitor, in reducing bone
loss in RA.

Material and methods

We enrolled 18 patients fulfilling 2010 ACR and EULAR criteria for RA from our arthritis outpatient clinic, assessing clinical and biochemical parameters during a 12-month period. The patients received TCZ 8 mg/kg i.v. every 4 weeks and underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) at baseline and at the end of study. Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR), IL-6, serum CrossLaps, osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ ligand (RANK-L) and dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) were measured at baseline, at 6 months and 1 year.

Results

No significant difference in IL-6, RANK-L, DKK-1, OPG and serum CrossLaps levels between baseline, 6 months and 1 year were found. A significant increase of lumbar spine BMD was evidenced after 1 year of TCZ treatment. No difference in total body and femoral neck BMD was documented the end of the study.

Conclusions

This study suggest the bone-sparing effect of TCZ in RA affected individuals.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

Patients with rheumatic diseases may require costly treatment and continuous rehabilitation, which Internet collections may finance. We aimed to characterize medical crowdfunding campaigns for the needs of Polish people with rheumatic diseases.

Material and methods

We utilized data from the largest medical crowdfunding platform in Poland, Siepomaga.pl. All collections in the years 2009–2017 for the needs of people with rheumatic diseases were identified.

Results

Twenty-three of 2,656 collections were included (0.9%). Sixty-five and two percent of campaigns collected the financial target. The median amount of collected funds was 3,369 euros. Ten collections concerned conservative treatments (drug and/or rehabilitation), seven financed surgery, five supported the acquisition of medical equipment or its repair, and one aimed at facilitating a diagnostic consultation with a foreign specialist.

Conclusions

Polish patients with rheumatic diseases collect funds via medical crowdfunding, mostly for needs not covered by public healthcare or to obtain better health services in the private sector.

Prediction based activation of vehicle safety systems – A contribution to improve occupant safety by validation of pre-crash information and crash severity plus restraint strategy prediction
Authors: Sequeira Gerald
Published: November 2022

The world of transportation is rapidly changing with the introduction of partial autonomy in vehicles and the race between the manufacturers to produce a fully automated passenger vehicle. In addition, to enhance driving comfort and reduce the driving workload, these automated vehicles are also visualized as an approach to reduce the majority of accidents that are caused by human errors. However, accidents do happen and there are also some likelihoods that these automated vehicles might fail. Especially in the initial introductory years, which highlights the need for passive safety systems in safeguarding the occupants. These vehicles typically employ forward-looking sensors for the perception of the surrounding environment, which presents an opportunity to use the information from these sensors to predict an upcoming inevitable crash and further estimate the passive safety action required for the predicted crash in the pre-crash phase. This work presents an approach to activate the vehicle safety systems based on the precrash prediction.

Route to Chaos and Chimera States in a Network of Memristive Hindmarsh-Rose Neurons Model with External Excitation
Authors: MUNİ Sishu Shankar , NJITACKE Zeric , FEUDJİO Cyrille , FOZİN Théophile , AWREJCEWİCZ Jan
Published: November 2022

In this paper we have introduced and investigated the collective behavior of a network of memristive Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neurons. The proposed model was built considering the memristive autapse of the traditional 2D HR neuron. Using the one-parameter bifurcation diagram and its corresponding maximal Lyapunov exponent graph, we showed that the proposed model was able to exhibit a reverse period doubling route to chaos, phenomenon of interior and exterior crises. Three different configurations of the ring-star network of the memristive HR neuron model, including ring-star, ring, and star, have been considered. The study of those network configurations revealed incoherent, coherent , chimera and cluster state behaviors. Coherent behavior is characterized by synchronization of the neurons of the network, while incoherent behaviors are characterized by the absence of synchronization. Chimera states refer to a differet state where there is a coexistence of synchroniaed and asynchronized nodes of the network. One of the interesting result of the paper is the prevalence of double-well chimera states in both ring and ring-star network and has been first mentioned in the case of memrisitve HR neuron model.

Robotic-assisted orthopedic surgeries are intended to improve the accuracy and precision of implant placement and may lead to improved clinical outcomes, shorter recovery time, and fewer revisions. Evidence around their clinical effectiveness is still limited, however, the trend suggests that robot-assisted surgeries may be comparable, or marginally better, in clinical effectiveness when compared to conventional techniques. Robotic-assisted surgery can reduce the length of inpatient stay, but it involves longer operative times. Larger, long-term, randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm their comparative effectiveness.

Robotic surgical systems for orthopedics are costly because their initial capital purchase is high, and each procedure requires the use of consumables. However, they may reduce length of stay, which can free up inpatient beds, and reduce rates of revision, which can be cost saving. While some evidence suggests that robotic-assisted knee and hip replacements can be cost-effective, there is limited cost-effectiveness information specific to Canadian contexts.

There is a steep learning curve to adopting robotic surgical systems and teams require training and ongoing technical support to ensure that the unit is used to its full capacity. The roles of team members, particularly nursing staff, may change and require advanced technical knowledge.

Robotic surgical systems are constantly evolving, integrating new and improved components such as augmented reality, artificial intelligence, digital imaging, and computer-assisted navigation. There will likely be many changes and refinements to these technologies over the coming years.
Development project evaluations in Malawi: A Country Evaluation Map
Authors: Crincoli Tim , Beveridge Ella , White Howard
Published: November 2022

The Malawi country evaluation map was created to promote the knowledge and use of development project evaluations in Malawi. It presents 576 project evaluations from nine databases and a targeted Google search. Malawi has very many evaluations of health, agricultural development and economic development interventions. Education, governance and public sector, and social protection all have a broad evidence base. These areas are ripe for summaries of lessons learned from these evaluations. The primary function of the country evaluation map is to increase knowledge and accessibility of project evaluations of development projects in Malawi. This map can be used by policymakers and researchers alike to understand what development project evaluations have been done and where there is a need for more research.

Abstract. In this study, the mixing state of size-resolved soot particles
and their influencing factors were investigated based on a 5-month
aerosol volatility measurement at a suburban site (Xingtai, XT) in the
central North China Plain (NCP). The volatility and mixing state of
soot-containing particles at XT were complex, caused by multiple pollution
sources and various aging processes. The results suggest that anthropogenic
emissions can weaken the mean volatility of soot-containing particles and
enhance their degree of external mixing. There were fewer externally mixed
soot particles in warm months (June, July, and August) than in cold months
(May, September, and October). Monthly variations in the mean coating depth
(Dc,mean) of volatile matter on soot particles showed that the coating
effect was stronger in warm months than in cold months, even though aerosol
pollution was heavier in cold months. Moreover, the volatility was stronger,
and the degree of internal mixing was higher in nucleation-mode
soot-containing particles than in accumulation-mode soot-containing
particles. Relationships between Dc,mean and possible influencing
factors (temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), and particulate matter, with
diameters ranging from 10 to 400 nm) further suggest that high ambient T and
RH in a polluted environment could promote the coating growth of
accumulation-mode soot particles. However, high ambient T but low RH in a
clean environment was beneficial to the coating growth of nucleation-mode
soot particles. Our results highlight the diverse impact of anthropogenic
emissions and aging processes on the mixing state of soot particles in
different modes, which should be considered separately in models to improve
the simulation accuracy of aerosol absorption.

Abstract. A comprehensive chamber investigation of photochemical
secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation and transformation in mixtures of
anthropogenic (o-cresol) and biogenic (α-pinene and isoprene)
volatile organic compound (VOC) precursors in the presence of NOx and
inorganic seed particles was conducted. To enable direct comparison across
systems, the initial concentration (hence reactivity) of the systems towards
the dominant OH oxidant was adjusted. Comparing experiments conducted in
single-precursor systems at various initial reactivity levels (referenced to
a nominal base case VOC concentration, e.g. halving the initial
concentration for a 1/2 initial reactivity experiment) as well as their
binary and ternary mixtures, we show that the molecular interactions from
the mixing of the precursors can be investigated and discuss challenges in
their interpretation. The observed average SOA particle mass yields (the
organic particle mass produced for a mass of VOC consumed) in descending
order were found for the following systems: α-pinene (32 ± 7 %), α-pinene–o-cresol (28 ± 9 %), α-pinene at 1/2
initial reactivity (21 ± 5 %), α-pinene–isoprene (16 ± 1 %), α-pinene at 1/3 initial reactivity (15 ± 4 %), o-cresol
(13 ± 3 %), α-pinene–o-cresol–isoprene (11 ± 4 %),
o-cresol at 1/2 initial reactivity (11 ± 3 %), o-cresol–isoprene (6 ± 2 %), and isoprene (0 ± 0 %). We find a
clear suppression of the SOA mass yield from α-pinene when it is
mixed with isoprene, whilst no suppression or enhancement of SOA particle
yield from o-cresol was found when it was similarly mixed with isoprene. The
α-pinene–o-cresol system yield appeared to be increased compared to
that calculated based on the additivity, whilst in the α-pinene–o-cresol–isoprene system the measured and predicted yields were comparable.
However, in mixtures in which more than one precursor contributes to the SOA
particle mass it is unclear whether changes in the SOA formation potential
are attributable to physical or chemical interactions, since the reference
basis for the comparison is complex. Online and offline chemical composition
as well as SOA particle volatility, water uptake, and “phase” behaviour
measurements that were used to interpret the SOA formation and behaviour are
introduced and detailed elsewhere.
Temporal variability of tropospheric ozone and ozone profiles in the Korean Peninsula during the East Asian summer monsoon: insights from multiple measurements and reanalysis datasets

Abstract. We investigate the temporal variations of ground-level ozone and
balloon-based ozone profiles at Pohang (36.02∘ N, 129.23∘ E) in
the Korean Peninsula. Satellite measurements and chemical reanalysis products
are also intercompared to address their capability of providing consistent
information on the temporal and vertical variability of atmospheric ozone.
Sub-seasonal variations of the summertime lower-tropospheric ozone exhibit a
bimodal pattern related to atmospheric weather patterns modulated by the
East Asian monsoon circulation. The peak ozone abundances occur during the
pre-summer monsoon with enhanced ozone formation due to favorable
meteorological conditions (dry and sunny). Ozone concentrations reach their
minimum during the summer monsoon and then re-emerge in autumn before the
winter monsoon arrives. Profile measurements indicate that ground-level
ozone is vertically mixed up to 400 hPa in summer, while the impact of the
summer monsoon on ozone dilution is found up to 600 hPa. Compared to
satellite measurements, reanalysis products largely overestimate ozone
abundances in both the troposphere and stratosphere and give inconsistent
features of temporal variations. Nadir-viewing measurements from the Ozone
Monitoring Instrument (OMI) slightly underestimate the boundary layer ozone
but represent the bimodal peaks of ozone in the lower troposphere and
the interannual changes in the lower-tropospheric ozone in August well, with
higher ozone concentrations during strong El Niño events and low
ozone concentrations during the 2020 La Niña event.
Sizing ice hydrometeor populations using the dual-wavelength radar ratio

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Dual-wavelength (3.2 and 0.32 cm, i.e., X- and W-radar bands) radar ratio (DWR) measurements in ice clouds and precipitation using Canada's National Research Council Institute for Aerospace Research airborne radar are compared to closely collocated particle microphysical
in situ sampling data in order to develop relations between DWR and characteristic hydrometeor size. This study uses the radar and in situ data
sets collected during the In-Cloud ICing and Large-drop Experiment (ICICLE) campaign in midlatitude frontal clouds. Since atmospheric particle
scattering at X band is predominantly in the Rayleigh regime and the W-band frequency is the highest frequency usually used for hydrometeor remote
sensing, the X–W-band combination provides a relatively strong dual-wavelength reflectivity difference. This study considers radar and in situ
measurements conducted in relatively homogeneous cloud and precipitation conditions. Measurements show that under these conditions, the difference
between the X-band radar reflectivities observed with vertical and horizontal pointing of the radar beam are generally small and often
negligible. However, W-band reflectivities at vertical beam pointing are, on average, larger than those for horizontal beam pointing by
about 4 dB, which is a non-Rayleigh scattering effect from preferentially oriented non-spherical particles. A horizontal radar beam DWR–mean volume particle size relation, Dv, provides robust estimates of this characteristic size for populations of particles with
different habits. Uncertainties of Dv retrievals using DWR are around 0.6 mm when Dv is greater than approximately
1 mm. Size estimates using vertical radar beam DWRs have larger uncertainties due to smaller dual-wavelength signals and stronger influences
of hydrometeor habits and orientations at this geometry of beam pointing. Mean relations among different characteristic sizes, which describe the
entire particle size distribution (PSD), such as Dv, and other sizes used in various applications (e.g., the mean, effective, and median
sizes) are derived, so the results of this study can be used for estimating different PSD characteristic sizes.
