Authors: ALİ BANI ISSA Mohammad
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışma, Aclun Sancağı’nın 1514-1596 yılları arasındaki vakıf ve mülk tarihine ışık tutmaktadır. Ayrıca çalışmada, tarih, coğrafya, yönetim ve nüfus açısından Aclun Sancağı’nın kısaca tarihine değinilmiştir. Çalışmada Aclun Sancağı ile ilgili olarak XVI. yüzyıldaki tahrir defterlerinden ve aynı yüzyıla ait mukataa, timar ve vakıf defterlerinden yararlanılmış ve vakıfların nasıl örgütlendiği açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Sözü edilen defterler, XVI. yüzyılın ortalarında Osmanlı Devleti tarafından yürütülen idari, iktisadi, içtimai, dini ve hayri faaliyetler ve nüfus üzerine kapsamlı bilgiler içermektedir. Bu defterlerde Aclun Sancağı’nın merkezine ve ona ait köy ve çiftliklere de değinilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Aclun Sancağı’yla ilgili 970, 266 ve 1597 tarihli tapu tahrir defterlerinde bulunan mülkler ve vakıflardan bahsedilmektir. Üstelik bu defterlerde vakfın yeri, vakfın ismi, vakfın türü ve vakfın kime ait olduğu konusunda açık ve net kayıtlar da mevcuttur. Ayrıca defterlerden bu vakıfların Aclun Sancağı’nın nahiyelerine bağlı köy ve çiftliklerdeki dağılımlarının yeri ve vakfedilen emvalin değeri tespit edilebilmiştir. Ayrıca, bu defterlerden faydalanmak suretiyle Osmanlı Devleti’nin, Aclun Sancağı’ndaki iktisadi, sosyal, kültürel ve dini faaliyetleri ile, evkaf müesseselerini düzenlemesindeki rolünü anlayabilmekteyiz.

Bu çalışma aynı zamanda Aclun Sancağı'nda vakfın tahsis edildiği ciheti hakkında da önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Ayrıca ‘Aclun Sancağı’ndaki vakıf kurumları ve mülkleri, XVI. yüzyıl boyunca bölge üzerinde önemli bir ekonomik etkiye sahip olmuştur. Bu kurumlar, tarım arazileri ile pazar ve dükkân gibi ticari binalar da dâhil olmak üzere çeşitli mülklerin yönetiminden ve bakımının yerine getirilmesi konusunda faaliyet göstermekteydi. Üstelik, ‘Aclun Sancağı'nın vakıf kurumları ve mülkleri, XVI. yüzyıl boyunca bölgenin sosyal ve kültürel hayatında önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Bu vakıfların yönetimi ve bakımının yanı sıra yerel topluma hizmet sağlamakta da önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Ayrıca, ‘Aclun Sancağı’ndaki vakıf malları ve kurumlarının temel sosyal ve kültürel etkilerinden biri, eğitim ve bilginin teşvik edilmesi ve sosyal sınıflar arasında, özellikle de çocuklarını coğrafi sınırları dışında eğitemeyen sınıflar arasında yayılmasındaki rolüdür.

‘Aclun Sancağı’ndaki vakıf kurumları ve mülkleri, XVI. yüzyıl süresince bölgenin kendine has kültürel ve dini faaliyetlerinin teşvik edilmesi konusunda önemli bir katkı sağlamıştır. Eğitim, hayırseverlik, sosyal refah, dini ve kültürel faaliyetler ile yerel kimliğin desteklenmesinde önemli bir rol oynamışlardır. Bununla birlikte ‘Aclun Sancağı’ndaki vakıfların Mübarek Ramazan ayında fakir fukaraya, Kurˈan okuyucularına, Mekke’deki Ulu Camii’ye, peygamber ve sahabe türbelerine, padişahların medreselerine ve camilerine, bazı zaviyelere ve mescitlere vakfedildiği ortaya konulmuştur. Bu etkiler XVI. yüzyıl boyunca bölgedeki sosyal uyumun ve kültürel çeşitliliğin artmasına katkıda bulunmuştur.

Authors: YANAR Şenay
Published: October 2023

Bu makale, İran'ın güneyinde, Fars eyaletinde 19.yüzyılın ikinci yarısı ile 20. yüzyılın ortaları arasında siyasi bir topluluk halinde varlığını sürdüren konar-göçer, Türk dilli ve kısmen Türkleşmiş boyların oluşturduğu Hamse isimli topluluğunun tarihi, coğrafî, sosyal ve siyasi yapısını incelemektedir. Bilindiği üzere Türkistan’dan dünyanın farklı bölgelerine yapılan Türk göçleri, uzun vadede ilgili yerlerin etnik ve kültürel yapısının şekillenmesinde etkili olmuştur. Bu bölgelerden biri olarak İran Türk varlığının günümüzde de en çok rastlandığı ülkelerden biridir. Bu nedenle buradaki Türk varlığı hakkındaki araştırmalara katkı yapma hedefindeki bu çalışmada Hamse İli’ne ilişkin iki ana konu üzerinde durulmuştur. Bunlardan ilki Hamse’yi oluşturan beş oymağın yüzyıllardır söz konusu bölgede yaşayan ve yaylak-kışlak arası konar-göçer yaşamlarını devam ettiren bu birbirinden bağımsız boyların dönemin hükümeti Kaçar hanedanının politikaları kapsamında komşu kavim Kaşkaylar’a karşı rakip güç haline getirilerek birleştirilme sürecinin incelenmesidir. İkinci konu da ilgili oymakların etnik köken ve dilleri, Hamse’nin coğrafî sınırları, yaylak-kışlak bölgeleri, sosyal ve ekonomik yaşayışları ve birbirleriyle ve merkez hükümetle bağlantıları gibi özelliklerinin ortaya konulmasıdır. Farsça muasır kaynakların yanı sıra araştırma eserlerinin ışığında yukarıda bahsedilen konular üzerinde duran bir araştırma makalesi niteliğindeki bu çalışmanın amacı, hakkında son derece az çalışma bulunan Fars eyaletindeki Hamse İli’nin Türk etnik kimliği niteliği ve varlığına ilişkin bilgileri derleyip toparlayarak literatüre katkıda bulunmaktır. Çalışmanın yöntemi söz konusu dönemin canlı tanıkları tarafından kaleme alınmış muasır eserlerin incelenerek karşılaştırılması suretiyle Fars Hamse’sini oluşturan boylarının yerleşim yerleri, tireleri, nüfusları, başlıca uğraşları ve yöneticilerinin faaliyetleri hakkındaki bilgi ve görüşlerin ortaya konulmasıdır.
KUDÜS’TEKİ ÖZBEK VE HİNDÎLER TEKKESİ
Authors: ÇALIK Sıddık
Published: October 2023

Orta Asya ve Hindistan Müslümanlarının hac ibadetlerinin yapmak için uzun ve meşakkatli bir yol güzergâhı kullandıkları biline bir gerçektir. Hac yollarındaki dinlenme ve barınma menzilleri ise, Müslüman devletlerin idaresi altında teşkilatlı bir konaklama kurumuna dönüşmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra, İslam’ın sufî karakterli birçok tarikat mensupları da gönüllü benzer yapılar kurarak, hac yolcularına hizmet etmişlerdir.

Bu dinî yapıların en önemlileri Türkistan ve Maveraünnehir’de yoğun faaliyet gösteren Nakşibendî ve Hindistan coğrafyasında Çiştî tarikatlerine bağlı Özbek ve Hindiler tekkeleridir. Bu tekkeler, Osmanlı coğrafyasında birçok şehirde hacılara hizmet etmek amacıyla bir çok tekke/zaviye kurarak yüzlerce yıla hizmet etmişleridir.

Çalışmada söz konusu iki tekke üzerine yoğunlaştırarak, bu zümrelerin faaliyetleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu konuyla ilgili çalışmalarda arşiv kayıtlarına yeterince inilmediği görülmüştür. Devlet-tekke ilişkileri üzerine örnek belgeler sunularak, dinî ve sosyal hüvviyete sahip Kudüs’teki Özbek ve Hindî tekkeleri, arşiv belgeleri zaviyesinden anlamaya çalışılacaktır.

Published: October 2023

İnsanın yaşamında doğum, evlilik ve ölüm gibi farklı evreler mevcuttur ve bu evreler halk geleneklerinde dönüşüm aşamaları olarak kabul edilir. Bu dönüşüm aşamalarında bireyin, çeşitli toplumsal uygulamalar ile yeni yaşantısına daha rahat uyum sağlaması amaçlanır. Bu çalışmada, hayatının kritik geçiş dönemi sayılan evrelerinden doğum, evlilik ve ölümle ile ilgili İlk Türklerin sahip olduğu inanç yapılarının Ankara Bölgesindeki izleri incelenmiş; bölgedeki uygulamaların eski Türk inanç sistemi ile bağlantıları araştırılmış ve Türk toplumlarında uygulanan ritüellerle bir karşılaştırması yapılmıştır. Ankara Bölgesinde, doğum öncesinde başlayan bu uygulamalarda, bebeğin sağlıklı doğması ve sonrasında sağlıklı bir yaşam sürdürmesi teşvik edilir. Bebeğin doğumundan sonraki kırk gün, büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Bu dönemde annenin ve bebeğin savunmasız olduğuna inanılarak, onları olumsuz etkilerden koruma amaçlı çeşitli önlemler alınır. Evlilik aşamasında da uygulanan gelenekler ve inançlar, bireyin yeni hayatında mutlu olması ve kötülüklerden sakınması için vardır. Eski Türk döneminden günümüze gelen inançlarla, aileye yeni katılan üyeyi kutsamak adına, dini ve mistik ritüeller uygulanır. Ölüm, sonsuz yaşamın başlangıcı olarak kabul edilen bir evredir ve bu dönemde de yapılan uygulamaların amacı, ölenin diğer dünyaya geçişini kolaylaştırmak, orada mutlu olmasını sağlamak ve geride kalanların ruh halini iyileştirmektir. Bu dönemde her ne kadar yoğun olarak İslami uygulamalar kullanılsa da İslam öncesi inancın izleri de yeni bir ölümün olmaması, ölenin geride bıraktığı kişileri rahatsız etmemesi adına yapılan bu uygulamalarda görülmektedir. Çalışmada “Ankara’nın batı bölgesinde ilk Türklere ait geçiş döneminin izleri var mıdır?” problem cümlesinin cevabı verilmeye çalışılmıştır. Problem durumunun tespitine yönelik olarak da sözlü tarih yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada on kişi ile görüşme yapılması kararlaştırılmış fakat sadece altı kişinin verdiği cevaplar çalışma için kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda Ankara Bölgesinde yaşayan insanların, İslamiyet öncesi Türk topluluklarının hayatın geçiş dönemlerine yönelik sahip olduğu inanç yapılarından bir çoğunu İslami inanç içerisinde sürdürdükleri sonucuna varılmıştır.

The present studies were carried out on the morphological (fruit size, diameter, colour and breakage) and biochemical (total soluble solids) changes during the 2 months of ripening of fruits of seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) growing at an altitude of 2650 m asl in Lahaul Valley, a cold desert area of Himachal Pradesh. The region is characterized by extreme climatic conditions, poor rainfall (about 500 mm per year) and heavy snowfall (100-400 cm per year). Data collected weekly for two months from 18th August, 1995 onwards, revealed that fruit weight varied from 8.2-16.0 g/100 fruits, with a maximum of 17.7 g during the 4th collection on 8th September. Vertical diameter varied from 5.4 to 7.8 mm with a maximum value of 8.0 mm. Cross diameter varied from 5.5 mm to 6.2 mm with a maximum value of 6.9 mm. The length of fruit stalk varied from 2.9 mm to 3.2 mm. Colour of the fruits was initially light yellowish green, both ends being light red. After 1 month, fruits were yellow with both ends red. After 2 months, fruits were reddish yellow. Sun facing side of the fruits was whitish yellow. Initially, skin of the fruit did not break during collection of the fruits. After one month, fruit skin got damaged if not collected with care. After 2 months of collection, fruits released the paste like material. Total soluble solid varied from 8.7 to 13.8% with a maximum value of 14.1% on 8th September 1995.

Solar radiation constitutes the Earth’s primary energy source and is critical in regulating surface radiation equilibrium, vegetation photosynthesis, hydrological cycles, and extreme atmospheric. On the other hand, the depletion of global fossil fuel reserves mandates the power sector to adopt renewable energy-based sources, including photovoltaic and wind energy conversion systems. Therefore, the precise solar radiation prediction is imperative for climate research and the solar industry. This paper illustrates the use of two machine-learning approaches: random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM), to predict surface solar radiation in the Diyala governorate of Iraq for one step ahead, utilizing only lagged monthly time series data of the factor as input predictors. The findings were evaluated using three performance measures: coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE). The results showed that using 10 monthly lags time series as input predictors leads to the best prediction performance. Furthermore, in terms of the RMSE, the prediction performance of the RF algorithm was better than that of the SVM algorithm (RF's RMSE, MAE, and R2 were 181.398, 129.522, and 0.979, while for SVM were 240.149, 184.802, and 0.978, respectively).

Anemia in pregnancy is a serious public health problem in Liberia. This study aimed to assess the effect of mobile phone tele-reminder on the iron status and diet quality of pregnant women in Liberia. A two-arm, double-blinded cluster randomized control trial was conducted in this study, with ANC screening rooms as a unit of randomization. At the Phebe and Charles B. Dunbar hospitals in Bong County, Liberia, 150 pregnant women who had never previously attended an ANC were recruited for the study (75 intervention women and 75 control women). Iron status measured as hemoglobin (g/dl) and diet quality were primary outcomes of this study. Secondary outcome measures were adherence to daily iron and folic acid supplementation and prevalence of anemia among pregnant women with malaria infection. The analysis was an intent-to-treat. The effect of the intervention on the primary study outcome (iron status) was examined using an independent sample t-test (for group-level analysis). Effects of treatment on diet quality was measured using the Fisher’s Exact Test. A binary logistic regression with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was used to analyze the effect of treatment on secondary outcomes. Pregnant women assigned to the intervention group had a significantly greater mean hemoglobin level after the two interventions, t (2.4) = 447, p<0.05; d = 0.23). In the intervention group, there were significant odds in the consumption of 2-3 fish/meat/poultry products compared to the control group (93% versus 83%, adjusted odds ratio, 2.93; 95% CI, 0.99-8.70). A trend towards adherence to the IFA supplementation and an increase in consumption of iron-rich foods was observed. In Liberia, mobile phone tele-reminders appeared to be effective in improving iron status, diet quality, and IFA supplementation adherence when integrated into an existing antenatal care protocol.

Authors:   , Muries Cantán Olga
Published: October 2023

In recent years, interest for siblings of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) has increased. Scholars from different backgrounds have investigated the particular experiences of siblings of all ages. However, less is known about their quality of life perceptions as siblings. The aim of this doctoral thesis is to explore siblings’ quality of life perceptions from their own voice and through a family quality of life lens. A systematic review of the literature was performed to find relevant information about quality of life perceptions of siblings of people with IDD in the context of a family. It highlighted the lack of research from non-English speaking countries and research with younger siblings. Consequently, interviews and discussion groups with young siblings (5-11 years old) living in Catalonia (northeast Spain) were conducted to explore their perceptions of quality of life as siblings and the influence of family dynamics and parental performances on their quality of life. Despite the cultural, religious and linguistic characteristics of Catalonia, findings were in line with those of similar research; revealed the particularities of the experience of having a brother or a sister with IDD and the singular effect external influences might have on siblings’ perceptions of quality of life. Additionally, results have shown siblings mature giving rise to critical views regarding their families. It is important then to listen to siblings of all ages and to spread awareness around the necessity that researchers, practitioners and policymakers consider siblings’ views and perceptions, in order to provide siblings and their families with better services and support.

The macula is a small area of the retina which is especially very important for good eyesight. The age- relatedmacular degeneration (AMD) is a type of visual impairment that can cause blindness or even loss of eyesight.AMD was a dangerous and progressing chronic disease that affects people over the age of 60 years. One of themost common symptoms of this condition is the appearance of a type of extracellular material called the drusen.Detecting this condition using an imaging technique known as optical coherence tomography (OCT) can help toprevent further damage to the eyes. The motivation behind this work is to test machine learning (ML) with OCTimages for the identification of retinal disease. OCT retinal images consist of normal retina and AMD. ML algorithmswere used to classify 261 OCT images to determine if the person was normal or macular. The proposed methodfor diagnosing between diseased and healthy conditions has a classification accuracy that considerably exceedsbeyond the current state of the art. This work will be used in developing further ML concepts in the diagnosis ofocular disorders and diseases.

In today’s world information and communication technology (ICT) plays a crucial role in all our lives every day. In thecurrent digital age, many organizations across the globe make use of ICT as a tool to facilitate teaching and learning(1). This technology is used to enable the end-user to access content material offered online by portable devicessuch as smartphone, laptops and so on, which are used for information, speed, and communication anywhereand anytime without physically visiting the location where the service is offered. With the use of ICT, e-commercecomes into play, which enables the end-user to send emails, do on-line shopping instead of market shopping, andswitch over from classroom learning to e-learning, where class are conducted over the internet. In the Namibianeducation system, higher institutions of learning use traditional methods of teaching, which is concerned with theteacher/lecturer being the controller of the learning environment. Hence, power and responsibility are held by theteacher/lecturer and they play the role of an instructor (in the form of lecturers) and decision maker (in regard tocurriculum content and specific outcomes through different types of teaching methods such as teacher-centeredmethods, learner-centered methods, content-focused methods, and interactive/participative methods, which aredone on face-to-face mode of teaching and learning without embedding fully ICT infrastructures that supportteaching and learning).

RSA’s strong cryptosystem works on the principle that there are no trivial solutions to integer factorization.Furthermore, factorization of very large semi primes cannot be done in polynomial time when it comes to theprocessing power of classical computers. In this paper, we present the analysis of Fermat’s Last Theorem andArnold’s Theorem. Also highlighted include new techniques such as Arnold’s Digitized Summation Technique(A.D.S.T.) and a top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top approach search for the prime factors. These drastically reducethe time taken to factorize large semi primes as for the case in RSA Cryptosystem

This research is aimed at confirming whether the autonomous vehicles (AV) for last-mile delivery is sustainable in terms of three aspects - social sustainability, environmental sustainability, and economic sustainability. The safety was solely considered for the social sustainability because of its importance of AV application for last-mile delivery. This study finds that it is relatively safe to use AVs for delivery because of the speed limit of actual society and the good road conditions provide the ground that AV runs safely for last-mile delivery in urban areas. Besides, AV has a special advantage when facing pandemic. For environmental sustainability, the emission problem is the main concern. It is concluded that AV has a significant advantage in emission reduction in terms of a series of emissions. This mainly results from the driving behaviors difference between AV and human vehicles. As for the economic sustainability of AV, this research adopted a quantitative way to illustrate because the cost of AV is essential to consider because of AV’s commercial nature. The research reveals the cost advantage of AV under different carrying capabilities.

One of the major focuses of technology, engineering, and computer science is to solve problems and improvethe quality of life in health. The relationship between health and technology has made great advances in thelast decades, and many cooperations are foreseen. Some citizens still have to deal with many obstacles daily tocope with the society as it is designed. One of the obstacles citizens deal with is deaf and hearing impairment.In Portugal, there are about 100,000 to 150,000 people with some level of hearing loss, and of these, around30,000 people use Portuguese Sign Language as their mother tongue (1); National Institute for Rehabilitation, (2).The greatest difficulties are appropriate or amend if necessary. Encountered by them are poor communicationwith hearing people and the need of a translator person. Communication became even more complicated withthe mandatory use of face mask, respect for the maximum number of people per division and social distancingdue to the COVID-19 pandemic. To diminish or even solve this issue, the authors developed an automatic voiceand text translation system to Portuguese sign language with captions. Sign language will be very useful for deafand hearing impairment citizens, and captions will be useful for deaf and hearing impairment citizens who don’tunderstand sign language. For that, programming language tools were developed to create a translator with thoserequests. This article describes the developments and achievements. For the proof of concept, the translatorstarted with 16 images in the database and reached a confidence level between 70 and 90%. This is an incentiveto further developments that authors are continuing to produce more improvements in the developed tool.

In the frequency domain, convolutive mixes with blind source separation can be successfully resolved. But thepermutation issue in frequency-domain blind source separation needs to be resolved. We investigated the impactof frequency space and separation performance at each frequency bin on the amplitude correlation permutationalgorithm with the goal of addressing the permutation ambiguity problem in frequency-domain blind sourceseparation of convolutive mixtures, and we proposed an enhanced permutation algorithm. The improved algorithmuses spacing influence weight and performance influence weight to control the influence of the frequency binssorted in the neighborhood on the frequency bins unsorted. Experiments have shown that the two influenceweights are effective. Finally, blind source separation experiments are performed on the speech signals under thetwo convolutive mixing models and the simulated room mixing model. According to experiments, the increasedsignal to interference plus noise ratio of separated signals demonstrates that the improved algorithm outperformsthe amplitude correlation permutation algorithm in terms of separation performance and robustness.

The main page of the web interface provides access to various switch settings and displays all the necessaryinformation about the device. Admins can quickly view device status, performance statistics, etc., as well asmake necessary settings. The switch’s command-line interface is accessed by connecting a terminal or personalcomputer with a terminal emulation program installed on the switch’s console port. In this paper, the intelligentswitching framework was introduced for terminal access to provide smart routing. This access method is mostuseful when connecting to the switch first when the Internet protocol (IP) address is unknown or not set, whenpassword recovery is required, or when performing advanced switch settings. The command line interface can alsobe accessed over the network using the Telnet protocol. The user can use any administrative interface convenientto him to configure the switch because the set of functions available through the different management interfacesis the same for each.

In general, we quickly forget about boxes with paper archives, and there is not even a single sheet of paper onthe desktop. If a paper document is sent to the institution through regular mail, the artifact is immediately scannedand digitized. In fact, it turned out to be quite the opposite. The more a company uses computers for digitalworkflows, the more it documents and prints. Above all, every document must be authenticated. A documentwithout a signature is only a draft or an information note. To get the signature, the documents are printed and thenoften scanned, and the original documents are kept on file. It is now clear that the (paperless) workflow cannot beimplemented without electronic digital signatures. In this study, an improved public key infrastructure-based DigitalSignature Authentication Service is proposed for higher key storage system. In this method, the CAs included inthe list provide certificate-based digital identifiers and time stamping services that comply with global regulations,such as the eIDAS standard. Electronic digital signatures are already supported for most popular office documentformats. Timestamps are supported, including multi-person document signatures.

Sensor nodes in smart dust are used to track and identify data that is being transferred to a sink. The accessibilityof node energy poses a significant challenge for smart dust and may have an impact on the long-term viability ofthe network. As a result, constructing smart dust must take into account the need for algorithms and techniquesthat enable the most use of scarce resources, especially energy resources. For instance, routing algorithms aredistinctive algorithms because they have a clear and direct connection with network longevity and energy. Theoffered routing techniques use clustering each round and single-hop data delivery to the sink. A Fuzzy Clusteringand Energy Resourceful Routing Protocol (FCER2P) that reduces smart dust energy consumption and lengthenslifespan of the network is proposed in this research. Using a specified threshold, FCER2P proposes a newcluster-based fuzzy routing mechanism that can make use of clustering and multiple hop routing capabilitiessimultaneously. This research is innovative in that it adjusts multi-hop connectivity by anticipating the optimumintermediate node for aggregating and the sink, eliminates clustering each round while taking a fixed thresholdinto account, and eliminates clustering per round altogether. When choosing the intermediary node to employ,some fuzzy parameters, including residual energy, the number of neighbors, and the distance to the sink, are takeninto account.

The complete human body or the various limb postures are involved in human action. These days,Abnormal Human Activity Recognition (Abnormal HAR) is highly well noticed and surveyed in manystudies. However, because of complicated difficulties such as sensor movement, positioning, and so on,as well as how individuals carry out their activities, it continues to be a difficult process. Identifyingparticular activities benefits human-centric applications such as postoperative trauma recovery, gesturedetection, exercise, fitness, and home care help. The HAR system has the ability to automate orsimplify most of the people’s everyday chores. HAR systems often use supervised or unsupervisedlearning as their foundation. Unsupervised systems operate according to a set of rules, whereassupervised systems need to be trained beforehand using specific datasets. This study conducts detailedliterature reviews on the development of various activity identification techniques currently being used.The three methods—wearable device-based, pose-based, and smartphone sensor—are examined in thisinquiry for identifying abnormal acts (AAD). The sensors in wearable devices collect data, whereas thegyroscopes and accelerometers in smartphones provide input to the sensors in wearable devices. Tocategorize activities, pose estimation uses a neural network. The Anomalous Action Detection Dataset(Ano-AAD) is created and improved using several methods. The study examines fresh datasets andinnovative models, including UCF-Crime. A new pattern in anomalous HAR systems has emerged,linking anomalous HAR tasks to computer vision applications including security, video surveillance,and home monitoring. In terms of issues and potential solutions, the survey looks at vision-based HAR.
