Authors: Kumar Bibhuti B. Singh  , Dr. Nikhat Akhtar  , Prof. (Dr.) Devendra Agarwal  , Susheel Kumar  , Dr. Yusuf Perwej
Published: January 2025

In order to achieve human-computer interaction (HCI) that is quick, accurate, and user-friendly, processing and intelligence are absolutely necessary. Despite the fact that computers are now capable of comprehending signs and symbols, the notion of identifying symbols that are produced live by a person in front of a camera is still somewhat foreign. The purpose of this work is to examine several methods for hand gesture detection by using the capabilities of OpenCV and TensorFlow, which are two of the most popular libraries in the fields of computer vision and deep learning. In order to perform preprocessing, feature extraction, and the establishment of a strong basis for subsequent research, OpenCV's extensive image processing capabilities are employed. For the purpose of constructing and training deep neural networks that are able to recognize fine-grained features and minor changes in hand motions, TensorFlow is used. Through this integration, it is possible to differentiate and comprehend a predetermined set of motions in a precise and accurate manner, hence revealing the potential for robust hand gesture recognition systems.
Real-Time Payment Systems for Boosting Economic Productivity

Published: January 2025

More effective, safe, and scalable cross-border payment systems have to be developed in light of the explosive rise of global trade and digital commerce. Digital alternatives that make use of cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence (AI) are gradually replacing traditional cross-border payment methods, which are often expensive and sluggish. This study examines how real-time analytics driven by AI may revolutionise cross-border payment systems by increasing security, decreasing costs, and speeding up transactions. While analysing the critical trade-off between transaction speed and security, the study looks at sophisticated fraud prevention strategies such rule-based systems and machine learning applications. This article uses in-depth case studies of European and Asian payment networks to demonstrate how payment infrastructure and security measures have evolved. In order to promote better international payment system development, these findings can help transnational corporations (TNCs) invest in technological advancements, improve cross-border payments, increase payment accessibility, offer a variety of payment methods, and track factors that affect payments. Global payment systems have changed significantly throughout time to meet the evolving needs of global commerce and technology breakthroughs. Financial transactions have been completely transformed by real-time payment systems (RTPS), which allow for rapid money transfers between banks, people, and companies. These technologies improve cash flow, lower transaction costs, and promote higher economic efficiency by reducing processing delays. This study looks at how RTPS might boost economic productivity by facilitating corporate processes, promoting financial technology innovation, and assisting small and medium-sized business (SME) expansion. It provides a thorough examination of the system's ability to lower economic friction and promote resilience in both established and developing economies, highlighting its effects on consumer behaviour, cross-border commerce, and financial inclusion. Issues including cybersecurity, system interoperability, and regulatory compliance are also covered, highlighting the need of teamwork to maximise RTPS's broad acceptance.
A Dynamic Micro Panel Data Model on Individual Expenditure Habit: Hierarchical Bayesian Method

Published: January 2025

This research uses a hierarchical Bayesian method on dynamic panel data model to examine how unobserved individual expenditure habit affects parameters of inference. It is noticed that not accounting for the heterogeneity (individual differences) produces inconsistent estimates of the mean autoregressive coefficient, even for a panel with large N and T. Therefore, a great deal of interest was placed on hierarchical Bayesian estimation of unobserved individual heterogeneity of dynamic panel models, in order to improve on a static panel model. The method allows for unit-specific coefficients to be different across observations and imposing a stability condition for individual autoregressive coefficient drawn from a beta distribution (0, 1). The theoretical findings are accompanied by the use of primary data via a comprehensive questionnaire approach and extensive Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) experiments. The examination of all the figures and tables indicate that the Hierarchical Bayesian method effectively handled the complicated pattern exhibited by the individual habit especially at MCMC experiment as the dimension of N is large and T is small.
AI and Machine Learning In Fraud Detection : Securing Digital Payments and Economic Stability
Authors: Prakash Raju Kantheti  , Prof. Stella Bvuma
Published: January 2025

AI and Machine Learning in Fraud Detection play a critical role in securing digital payments and ensuring economic stability. As digital payment fraud escalates, costing billions globally, traditional models struggle to address increasingly sophisticated tactics such as phishing, account takeovers, and salami slicing. AI/ML-driven solutions, including graph-based anomaly detection, hybrid models (deep learning + knowledge-based systems), and ensemble methods, provide enhanced detection capabilities. These systems adapt to evolving threats, detect fraud patterns, and minimize false positives/negatives while maintaining transaction integrity.
Emerging challenges include fraudsters exploiting AI agents, adversarial learning, and bottlenecks in digital systems. Metrics like detection accuracy, precision, and ROI validate the effectiveness of AI/ML systems in combating fraud. Ethical considerations and regulatory compliance remain crucial to standardize AI/ML deployment globally. Future research must focus on scalability, adaptability, and resilience to counter advanced fraud schemes.

Authors: Aminu Magaji Bichi  , Musa Maimuna Abdulazeez
Published: January 2025

Leaves of leguminous tree species used as manure are potential alternatives to commercial fertilizer for agricultural crop production. Acacia nilotica (L), Acacia is a genus of about 160 species of trees and shrubs in the pea family (Fabaceae). Acacia are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world, particularly Australia (where they are called wattles) and Africa, where they are well-known landmarks on the savanna. This research is aimed at investigating and estimating the rate of decomposition and nutrients released from the foliage of Acacia nilotica (L) incorporated in three alfisols from the school farm of Bayero University Kano in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) where the standard methods of laboratory analysis were conducted to determine the macro and microelements and nutrients released into the soils for three months of the study period. From the treatment involving Acacia nilotica (L), Magnesium (Mg) in Acacia nilotica (L) was found to be highly released at 1.66(cmol/kg) in loamy Soil. In contrast, Calcium (Ca) content was highly released in loam at 3.65(cmol/kg) by Acacia nilotica (L). The most active soil for decomposition and nutrient release was found to be highest in loamy soil followed by clay with the lowest rate in Sandy soil. It is advisable for farmers willing to practice agro-forestry to critically assess the leguminous tree foliage that would release the most significant mineral nutrients into a particular soil. Similarly, the nutrient demand of the crop that will be integrated should be studied.

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تسليط الضوء على مسألة قديمة جديدة كانت محل اختلاف أقوال العلماء قديمًا، ولا يزال الخلاف يتجدد فيها كلما تجدد وتطور العلم بالإنسان ومكنوناته خاصة فيما يتعلق بالجانب الوراثي منه، فإثبات النسب وإظهاره ونفيه بالنصوص الشرعية، أو بالتجارب المخبرية محل اهتمام الفقهاء والعلماء؛ إذ به يثبت أو ينتفي مقصد أساس من مقاصد الشريعة الإسلامية. ولعل من أهم الزوايا التي يتم النظر إلى هذا الموضوع من خلالها؛ النظر في نصوص الشارع المتعلقة في إثبات النسب وإظهاره ونفيه وإدراك مدى تعبديتها من تعليلها، وبالتالي إمكان القياس عليها من عدمه، وهنا تكمن أهمية هذا البحث ومشكلته، إذ إنّه لا تتوفر -بحسب اطلاع الباحثَين- دراسة مستقلة تتناول الموضوع من هذه الزاوية وتحيط به وتزيل الغبار عنه، وعليه فإنهما سيعملان على جمع شتات الموضوع وأقوال العلماء فيه من خلال منهج استقرائي ما استطاعا إلى ذلك سبيلًا، ثم يعمدا إلى ما جمعاه من أقوال ودلائل فيحللاها ويسبرا أغوارها ويؤصلا لها ويعيدا تركيبها في مشهد متناسق متكامل. وقد توصل البحث إلى أن للنسب دليل واحد يثبت به وهو دليل الفراش -على اختلاف بين العلماء في معناه، حيث بين بعضهم أنه مجرد العقد بين الرجل المرأة، بينما ذهب فريق ثان إلى أنه إمكان الدخول، أو تحققه فعلًا على رأي فريق ثالث- وما عداه من أدلة فإنما هي لإظهار النسب. أن دليل نفي النسب واحد كذلك وهو دليل اللعان. وقد ذهب الحنفية إلى تعبدية دليل إثبات النسب، بينما ذهب جمهور العلماء إلى تعليله، ثم اختلف الجمهور في هذه العلة فجعلها أكثرهم مقتصرة على الفراش الشرعي -الزواج أو التسري ويلحق بهما شبههما- بينما ذهب البعض إلى تعديتها إلى كل حالة توفرت فيها العلة ما لم يعارضها فراش شرعي ثابت. وبنفس الطريقة اختلفت آراء العلماء في أدلة إظهار النسب. وأخيرًا فقد تبين للباحثَين أن دليل نفي النسب -اللعان- تعبدي على رأي بعض العلماء، بينما هو معلل بعلة قاصرة على رأي فريق آخر، وهو في كلا الحالتين لا يمكن تعديته ولا القياس عليه.

Published: January 2025

Social media provide some content that we always looking for rather than conventional media. Nowadays, social media could be a freedom of speech media and expression platform. However, social media can also have negative impacts, such as contributing to mental health problems and the development of fear of missing out on illness (FOMO). FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out, is a sensation of anxiety or worry that arises when someone feels unaware of or excluded from important information, events, experiences, trends, and so on. Social media exacerbates the severity of FOMO. Individuals with FOMO disorder constantly experience feelings of inadequacy in their lives, causing them to constantly scroll through social media platforms and compare their own experiences to those of others. Animation is the process of manipulating static figures to create the illusion of movement. Currently, animation has emerged as a promotional medium that is very effective, visually attractive and easy to understand. Illustration refers to the act of embellishing, interpreting, or visually explaining a text, concept, or process, with the aim of incorporating it into printed and digitally produced media

Authors: Sarsono Nurmanita , Wahyudi Johan Ies
Published: January 2025

“IN PAIN” History of Dental Disease in photography is the idea of ​​the final project to represent the history of toothache experienced by the artist. Through the medium of still life photography, the creation of this work will raise objects related to toothache. Still-life photography is usually made in a studio setting where the artist uses the right composition and lighting to display the shape, show the surface quality of the object, build a mood, and draw the audience's attention to certain elements, by using Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic approach in selecting objects so that they can be present symbolically, conveying a strong narrative and message for the connoisseur of the work. The choice of presentation of the work uses a still-life photography approach with artificial light techniques to visualize events. Artificial light is used to freely adjust the direction of incoming light and which parts need to be illuminated. The artist uses a softbox and studio strobe light as lighting tools because they are easy to move and maneuver. Softboxes are used to shoot several works that require smooth and even lighting, so the resulting shadows look relatively soft and even. Meanwhile, studio strobe light is used in shooting several works that require hard or strong lighting, so that the resulting shadows also look relatively strong and clear to maximize the texture and dimensions of the object.

Authors: Dewi Septi Sari , Citra Dewi Utami
Published: January 2025

Film Di Balik Raut Sunyi addresses mental health issues arising from the writer's concern over the lack of awareness and support for these issues, particularly social anxiety disorder. In the film Di Balik Rraut Sunyi this issue is portrayed through the story of a clown named Brian who appears to be fine when he is in character but suffers from social anxiety when he is himself. The production of the film Di Balik Raut Sunyi was managed using a time efficiency strategy, with the writer taking on the role of producer. The producer plays a crucial role in the filmmaking process, which involves script development, pre-production, production, and post- production. The time efficiency strategy was implemented during the pre-production phase by combining the Pre-Production Meeting (PPM) with other stages such as reading, recce, wardrobe and makeup fitting. Additionally, this strategy was used to plan the shooting days and schedule based on the scene breakdown in the script. The combination of these processes demonstrates that a time efficiency strategy can be applied to maximize the filmmaking process within a limited timeframe.

Published: January 2025

Jacques Lacan divides the human psychic area or subject into three parts, namely The Real, The Imaginary, and The Symbolic. In The Ivanna by Kimo Stamboel, Ivanna passes through these three rooms as a ghost who is looking for her head. The Ivanna tells about the terror of the ghost of Ivanna, who suffered a tragic death because she was killed by Japanese soldiers. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method that processes selected scenes in the film Ivanna for analysis to find three psychic spaces that Ivanna passes through as a head-seeking ghost. The Real is experienced when Ivanna's ghostly body is destroyed, thrown in a well, and burned. Ivanna experienced The Imaginary when Ambar saw a projection on the wall regarding Ivanna's past. Ambar, who can translate the meaning of the projections on the wall, finds Ivanna's demands, in the form of bodily integrity. Meanwhile, Ivanna goes through The Symbolic while hunting for the heads of people living in a nursing home. Ivanna got her wish, but because the head she took did not match her wishes, she continued hunting for new heads
Weighting the factors affecting safety of navigation: A case study for the Gulf of İzmit, Türkiye
Authors: Dağkıran Berat , Bolat Pelin
Published: January 2025

Cargo transportation is globally carried by sea. The increasing population and associated needs increase the amount and diversity of cargo transported by vessels. The tonnage and number of vessels are also increasing accordingly. Although production and storage points are established in the regions where raw materials are located, they are concentrated in coastal areas in accordance with intermodal transportation. The Gulf of Izmit is the maritime region with the largest maritime facilities in Türkiye due to its location within the Turkish Straits, its dense population, its proximity to production and raw materials, and its strategic location where transportation modes intersect. Vessel Traffic, Pilotage, and Tugboat Services units operate in the region in order to increase the safety of navigation. However, many factors, such as geographical, meteorological, and hydrographic conditions of the region, and critical structures, local traffic, fishing activities, and the presence of dangerous cargo terminals, affect the safety of navigation. In this study, it was decided to use the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques, to identify the factors affecting navigational safety in Gulf of Izmit, to rank them in order of importance and to determine the measures to be taken. In this context, firstly, an extensive literature review was conducted. The data obtained were analyzed by 10 people who are experts in their fields, have academic backgrounds, and work in the region as pilots, vessel traffic operators, port state control officers, and oceangoing masters. Dynamic (variable) and static (unchangeable) risks in the region were identified and a hierarchical structure was obtained. The weights of the factors within the hierarchical structure were determined by making numerical comparisons with each other and the importance ranking was revealed.
Highlights

Navigational risks in Gulf of Izmit have been identified in detail and ranked in order of importance.
Vessel traffic, pilotage and escort services are critical and must be improved to reduce navigational risks.
Local traffic, sub-standard vessels and seafarers pose a risk and must be addressed by the public authority.

Authors: Şeker Betül Dilara
Published: January 2025

Türkiye, dünya genelinde en dinamik deprem bölgelerinden biri olarak kabul edilir. Son yüzyılda 200'den fazla büyük deprem yaşayan ülke, bu felaketlerin neden olduğu can kaybı, maddi zarar ve yerinden edilmelerle sık sık karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Özellikle Kahramanmaraş depremi gibi yıkıcı olaylar toplumsal, ekonomik ve psikolojik yıkıma yol açarak büyük nüfus hareketlerine yol açmıştır. Afetler ister doğal ister insan kaynaklı olsun artık günümüzde her ikisinin altında insan etkisinin olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Afetler, insanların yer değiştirmesine neden olan bir faktör olarak karşımıza çıkar. Afetle birlikte güvensiz hale gelen mevcut yaşam alanları, hareketliliği etkilemektedir. Göç, bireylerin güvenliklerini ve sosyo-ekonomik koşullarını iyileştirmek istedikleri temel motivasyonla ilgilidir. Afet sonrası yerinden edilen kişiler, yeni yerleşim yerleri bulma, kaynaklara erişme ve toplumsal uyum gibi zorluklarla karşı karşıyadır. Afetler, yerinden edilenleri hem kısa hem de uzun vadeli olarak etkileyebilir ve çevresel göç değişikliklere uyum sağlama stratejisi olarak görülebilir. Doğal afetler, özellikle depremler, Türkiye ve dünya genelinde büyük felaketlere neden olmuş ve yerinden edilmelere yol açmıştır. Bu göçler, afetlerin etkilerini hafifletmek ve insanları korumak amacıyla acil tedbirlerin alınmasını gerektirir. Afetler, insanların çevresel, ekonomik, politik ve sosyal bağlamlarını etkiler, bu nedenle bütüncül bir yaklaşım gereklidir. Çalışmada doğal afetler ve göç olguları güncel yaklaşımlarla incelenecektir. Afet kavramı bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirilmektedir. Göç kavramı ise yeni bir model olan göç kültürü ve çatışma modeliyle ele alınmıştır. Doğal afet sonrası yaşanan göç olgusu bu modelle açıklanmıştır. Çalışma, doğal afetlerin göçü nasıl etkileyebileceğini ve bu etkilerin nasıl yönetilebileceğini ele almaktadır. Ayrıca depremler gibi doğal afetler sonrası yaşanan göçlere de toplumların hazırlıklı olması ve etkili planlamaların yapılması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır.

Türk dilinin tarihî gelişimi içerisinde Türkistan’da Oğuz olmayan Türkler tarafından 15. yüzyılın başından 20. yüzyılın başlarına kadar kullanılan müşterek yazı diline Çağatay Türkçesi denilmektedir. Çağatay Türkçesiyle şiirler yazan bir şair de Baba Rahim Meşreb (1641?-1711)’dir. 17. ve 18. yüzyılın en büyük Çağatay şairi olarak Meşreb, çoğunlukla dinî-tasavvufi şiirler yazmıştır. Onun bilinen iki mesnevisi ve bir divanı vardır. Meşreb’in eserlerinden çok, hakkında yazılmış olan Şah Meşreb Menâkıbnâmesi Türkistan’da oldukça meşhurdur. Meşreb’in mesnevilerinden biri Mebde-yi Nûr diğeri ise Kimyâ’dır. Ancak tezkirelerde ve şiir mecmualarında başta olmak üzere çeşitli kaynaklarda Meşreb’in şiirleri ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Meşreb klasik Türk edebiyatının hemen hemen her nazım şekli ile şiirler yazmıştır. Gazelden kasideye, mesneviden musammatlara kadar çok zengin bir şiir külliyatına sahiptir. Bu makalede onun böyle bir kaynakta bulunmuş olan bir müsebbâsı söz konusu edilecektir. 18 bentten oluşan müsebbânın konusu Hz. Peygamber’in sahabelerinden Hz. Ukkâşe ile Hz. Peygamber’in içinde bulunduğu bir hikâye ile ilgilidir. Hikâyede Hz. Ukkâşe Hz. Peygamber’in ömrünün son zamanlarında, Hz. Peygamber’in sırtında bulunan peygamberlik mührünü görmek için başvurduğu metot anlatılmaktadır. Şiir mütekerrir müsebbâdır. Müsebbâda bentler yedişer mısradan oluşur. Her bendin son iki mısrası aynen tekrar ediliyorsa mütekerrir müsebbâ denir. Bu müsebbâ da mütekerrir müsebbâdır. Şiirin dil özellikleri Çağatay Türkçesidir. Makalede özellikle şiirdeki kelime grupları üzerinde durulmuştur.

Biopolymers like Cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin are major source of energy and nutrients for microbial communities in forest ecosystem. Plant biomass is degraded by variety of microorganisms living in the soil. Fungi are major decomposers and recyclers of organic matter by secreting various enzymes. The objective of the study was to determine cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin content of Acacia catechu leaf litter during different stages of its decomposition. Leaf litter was collected and litter bag technique was applied for its decomposition. Analysis of biopolymer degradation done after removing litter bags from pits at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days of incubation. No change observed in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin content in early stages of decomposition. Gradual reduction in litter biomass was observed from 45 to 180 days of decomposition. In early stages of decomposition, amount of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin was remarkably high but as the decomposition progressed, these biopolymers were degraded at very faster rate.Maximum decomposition of biopolymers was observed on 180 days. During the process of decomposition fungi produce various enzymes that work cooperatively to hydrolyse these macromolecules

Published: January 2025

From January 2023 to March 2024, 270 bird species from 68 families were identified in South Central Rajasthan, India. These species included 170 residents, 94 winter visitors, 04 summer visitors and 02 passage migrants. The most prevalent types were carnivores (43%), omnivores (25%), insectivorous birds (23%), granivores (5%), frugivores (2%), nectarivores (1%) and herbivores (1%). According to IUCN conservation status, 23 species are categorized into threatened. Among these, 13 species are near threatened (NT), 06 species are vulnerable (VU), 01 species is endangered (EN) and 03 species are critically endangered (CR). This information will be crucial to ornithologists both now and in the future. These findings imply that the abundance of wetlands, diverse vegetation and climatic conditions of Bhilwara are favourable to conserving the diversity of birds. In Bhilwara district, we saw the impact of various man-made factors on the distribution, population size, habitat preferences, roosting choice, feeding choice and breeding of these species. To reduce these impacts, creating a buffer zone and strict implementation of regulations is needed.

Published: January 2025

This review focuses on the effective bio-control of plant diseases by microorganisms instead of chemical control methods. Chemical pesticides have been used excessively to treat or prevent plant diseases, harming people and polluting the environment.
Numerous traits of Enterobacter spp. have been identified, including their ability to fix nitrogen, solubilize soil phosphorus, create antibiotics, secrete siderophores, chitinase, ACC deaminase, and hydrolytic enzymes in addition to exopolysaccharides, and
increase soil porosity. Genus Enterobacter is a facultative anaerobic, straight rod-shaped, motile bacterium and has peritrichous flagella. Scores of Enterobacter strains have these traits, which support plant growth and inhibit pathogenic fungi on plants. The
Enterobacter genus is crucial for halting the spread of fungi that cause plant illnesses.

Fish scales are the exoskeleton which provide structural support to the fishes and it is the validated tool for taxonomy, classification and identification of the fish. In present study, three marine fish species N. japonicus, N. bipunctatus and N. randalli
were collected from the three locations namely Sassoon dock, (Colaba), Versova fish landing center (Versova) and Bhayander fish landing center (Bhayandar) situated on west coast of India and are used to compare the morphological variations of scales.
During the study, cycloid type were analyzed under 4P scale reader to measure the different morphometric measurements (L1: A-B, L2: B-C, L3: C-D, L4: D-E, L5: E-F, L6: F-A, L7: A-G, L8: B-G, L9: C-G, L10: D-G, L11: E-G, L12: F-G) between the different landmarks to find out the morphological variations among scale of studied fish species.The minimum and maximum morphological measurement of the scale were noted 2.863±0.053 to 12.864±0.172 in N. japonicus, 2.633±0.090 to 13.417±0.343in N. bipunctatus and 2.594±0.069 to 12.083±0.258 in N. randalli. Whereas, correlation metrix of scale variables was strong between L6 and L7 (0.877) in N. japonicus, L3 and L6 (0.901) in N. bipunctatusand L12 and L5 (0.936) in N. randalli while relationship of L11 with all variable show the weak correlation. The variation in the scale morphology was verified by the descriptive statistical analysis like principle component analysis, correlation matrix etc. These findings revealed the morphological variation in the scale i.e. scale size is different in different fish species which quantify the fish taxonomy and could be considered an essential tool for fish identification.
