Authors: SAKALP Deniz , AKÇAY Özgün
Published: March 2023

Termal kameralı İnsansız Hava Araçları (İHA) görüntüleri ile üretilen nesne yüzey sıcaklıkları ve üç boyutlu geometrileri günümüzde pek çok uygulama alanında kullanılmaktadır. Başlangıçta kullanımı sadece askeri alanla sınırlanan insansız hava araçlarının düşük maliyet, hız ve tekrarlı uçuş kabiliyeti nedeniyle küçük alanlarda sıkça tercih edilmektedir. Yalıtım sistemlerinin arızaları, beklenmedik sıcaklık değişimlerini ve artan enerji tüketimini tetikleyen sonuç olarak cephe yapısını doğrudan etkileyen bir enerji akışına olanak tanır. Bu ısıl köprüler termal kameralar ile görüntülenerek bina ısı kaçaklarının kolayca belirlenmesini mümkün kılmaktadır. Termal görüntüleme geniş kullanımına rağmen, dar görüş alanı ve mekânsal çözünürlüğünün düşük olması nedeniyle sınırlıdır. Çalışmada, Ankara ilinin Gölbaşı ilçesinde yer alan bir binanın görünür ve termal görüntüleri insansız hava aracı ile elde edilerek inceleme için yeni bir yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Bu yaklaşım, İHA’ya monte iki kameradan elde edilen termal ve görünür görüntülerden Structure from Motion (SfM) tekniğine dayalı üç boyutlu tek bir model oluşturulmasına dayanmaktadır. Bu çalışma sonucunda görünür ve termal verilerin eş-kayıt edilmesi sayesinde elde edilen fotogrametrik model ile bina incelemenin ve yorumlamanın elverişli olduğu görülmüştür.
A Review Study on Advertisement and Children with Special Reference to Confectionaery Items: A Way Forward
Authors: Dr. Shilpa Rathi
Published: March 2023

There are a huge variety of confectionery items on the market. In this case, it is important to investigate how children's preferences are formed. The study has taken into account factors such as the average age at which children begin purchasing sweets, how fond of sweets they are, which brands they like, and how sales promotion activities affect children's preferences and consumption patterns. Additionally, an effort has been made to demonstrate how age and gender influence packing preference.
Children today are extremely aware of the various brands in the market and are conscious of the products they use or consume. They pick and choose carefully according to their needs, style, preferences etc. They also exercise a lot of independence in decision-making and influence the family buying behaviour. Today’s kids are well informed, better than their parents. This is because virtually from birth today’s children are exposed to TV commercials, banner ads, billboards, logos and product promotions.
Supercritical Fluid Chromatography

Published: March 2023

History of Supercritical Fluid Chromatography In 1822, the French physicist Charles Cannard de La Tour placed a liquid and a flint ball in a Papin rifle pressure vessel and heated the liquid with a sealed cannon. 1) When the container was shaken, the bullet broke through the air-liquid interface, and the sound of the bullet scattering was heard. But when I heated the container to a temperature well above the boiling point of the liquid, the noise disappeared. He hypothesized that this was because the liquid and gas densities in the vessel became equal, effectively forming a single phase. This represents the first discovery of what is now called supercritical states and critical points. After this discovery, supercritical fluids became the subject of fundamental physicochemical studies to determine the state change of matter and its properties under supercritical conditions. However, practical applications were not immediately born. Then, in 1879, Hannay and Hogarth reported that supercritical fluids had excellent solvent properties2), and the second wave of research began.

The project "Online Voting System" aims to simplify voting in any type of election. In India, presently voting is done either using ballot paper or with EVM machines. In the traditional Voting approach, Individuals are required to visit voting stations and cast their votes. People from various locations who don’t have their voting cards are unable to cast their votes. Also, the user's validation is poor and inappropriate. Further, the conventional voting system involves a lot of manual work which is a time-consuming process. Therefore, to overcome the drawbacks in the existing system this particular system was proposed to mark our work much easier and to reduce wastage of time. This work deals with design, building and testing a online voting system that facilitates user (the person who is eligible for voting), candidate (Candidate are the users who are going to stand in elections for their respective party), Election Commission Officer (Election Commission Officer who will verify whether registered user and candidates are authentic or not) to participate in online voting. This voting system is highly secured and has a very simple, user-friendly, and reliable design. The proposed application is developed and tested to work on Ethernet and allow online voting. The user can register by giving his personal details and the image of his face which gets stored in the database presented at the central side. After the voting date is fixed and the user gets pop up notifications on his\her android phone via GCM (Google Cloud Messaging). After that the users open the application then the face authentication is done at server side using the OTP. If the user is a valid user, then OTP is sent to the user's mail address the user accesses the voting form using their OTP, casts their vote, clicks the submit button, and then logs out.

Published: March 2023

In many major cities throughout the world, traffic congestion is a serious issue that has turned commuting into a nightmare. The traditional traffic signal system is built around a set time concept that is assigned to either side of the junction and cannot be changed to account for changes in traffic density. The designated junction times are set. When compared to the regular allocated time, extended green times are occasionally necessary due to higher traffic density on one side of the intersection. The algorithms and techniques that we are using in the system are OpenCV, Keras, Video Processing, Image Processing and CNN. To determine the number of vehicles present in the region, a contour has been produced based on the object detection in the traffic signal that has been analysed and translated into a simulator. After determining the number of vehicles, we can determine which side has a high density and according to density we will assign signal priority. Our system represents a significant step towards smarter and more effective traffic management.

Published: March 2023

Quality assurance can be defined as “the part of quality management aimed at ensuring confidence that quality must be performed”. The trust provided by quality assurance is dual internal to management and external to clients, government agencies, regulators, certification bodies and third parties. An alternative definition is “the complete performance of targeted and organized activities within the framework of a quality method that can be documented to provide assurance that the commodity or service will meet the required quality. Quality assurance is comprehensive and does not have to do with the specific necessity of the product being developed. Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Control (QC), and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) are major considerations in the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of pharmaceutical products to ensure their identification, potency, purity, pharmacological safety, and efficacy and effectiveness. (8) The terms Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Good Manufacturing Practices are defined in most international regulatory documents including WHO, USFDA, MHRA,TGA, MCC, etc. The quality of a pharmaceutical manufacturer's products depends on the fact that up to what satisfactory level of QA, QC and GMP system has been adopted in the process of production, distribution and marketing of products during their total shelf life. The main objective of this article is to demonstrate the fundamental difference between quality assurance, quality control and good manufacturing practice (GMP) and to emphasize their necessity for a pharmaceutical product. (8) This overview describes quality by design and identifies some of its elements. Process parameters and quality attributes are identified for every unit operation. The advantages, opportunities and steps involved in Quality by Design for pharmaceutical products are described. It is based on ICH guidelines Q8 for pharmaceutical development, Q9 for quality risk management and Q10 for pharmaceutical quality systems. It also provides the application of Quality by Design in pharmaceutical drug development and manufacturing.
The Biography of a God
Authors: Sharabi Asaf
Published: March 2023

Mahasu is the joint name of four gods whose influence is widespread throughout the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Like other deities in the Western Himalayas, they are regarded as royal gods who rule over territories and people. This book traces changes in faith and practices surrounding the Mahasu brothers, and shows how the locals understand these changes by emphasizing the dominant role of humans in the decisions of the gods. The locals are also constantly testing the authenticity of the human mediumship. Thus, the book presents the claim that the gap between local conceptions of divinity and the perceptions of anthropologists regarding gods may be narrower than we think.

The Biography of a God: Mahasu in the Himalayas is based on ethnographic research, resulting in an important contribution to the study of Indian village deities, Himalayan Hinduism, lived Hinduism, and the anthropology of religion.
The Four Brothers
Authors: Sharabi Asaf

In this chapter I describe four core components of the belief in Mahasu as
it is expressed today: each Mahasu brother has his own distinct personality
and identity; Mahasu is perceived as a king; Mahasu is perceived to be
Shiva; and the belief in Mahasu contains elements of both concrete and
abstract notions of divinity.
Repertoires of Slavery
Authors: Adams Sarah
Published: March 2023

Through the lens of a hitherto unstudied repertoire of Dutch abolitionist theatre productions, Repertoires of Slavery prises open the conflicting ideological functions of antislavery discourse within and outside the walls of the theatre and examines the ways in which abolitionist protesters wielded the strife-ridden question of slavery to negotiate the meanings of human rights, subjecthood, and subjection. The book explores how dramatic visions of antislavery provided a site for (re)mediating a white metropolitan—and at times a specifically Dutch—identity. It offers insight into the late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century theatrical modes, tropes, and scenarios of racialised subjection and considers them as materials of the “Dutch cultural archive,” or the Dutch “reservoir” of sentiments, knowledge, fantasies, and beliefs about race and slavery that have shaped the dominant sense of the Dutch self up to the present day.
Suffering Victims: Slavery, Sympathy,
and White Self-Glorification
Authors: Adams Sarah J.
Published: March 2023

This chapter examines enslaved characters as objects of pity for their
white counterparts on and off the stage. Three plays I will classify as
“bourgeois dramas”—Selico, De negers, and Kraspoekol—exemplify a
set of generic strategies employed to inspire Dutch audiences with an
antislavery spirit. Dramatists confronted audiences with the wrongs
of slavery through moving “slave testimonies” and manifestations of
violence that revealed the harsh realities of the slavery systems. One of
the most important dramatic conventions was the presence of a white
bourgeois hero who alleviated these victims’ plight and whose passionate
antislavery speeches drew directly from debates outside the theater. This
philanthropic figure was as central to the abolitionist appeal as he was
to the reification of white male dominance.
Black Rebels: Slavery, Human Rights,
and the Legitimacy of Resistance
Authors: Adams Sarah J.
Published: March 2023

This chapter considers blackface characters who challenged their subjection.
Stage representations of slave-led resistance directly responded to
the rebellions in the Atlantic orbit and metropolitan anxieties about
retributive violence. Analyzing the blackface rebels and ideological
assertions in Monzongo, De blanke en de zwarte, and De verlossing der
slaaven demonstrates that the orchestrated revolts against slavery and
human rights violations are portrayed as brutal and ineffective—if they
are staged and considered at all. Following Michel Trouillot’s observations
about the “unthinkability” of the Haitian Revolution, this chapter argues
that dramatists, thespians, and audiences trivialized and erased non-white
forms of redress by recasting these characters’ revolts to make sense to the
white-dominant order and by utilizing Afro-diasporic people’s struggle
to imagine their own fight for (political) liberty.
Comparison of Feature Selection and Feature Extraction Role in Dimensionality Reduction of Big Data
Authors: Haidar Khalid Malik  , Nashaat Jasim Al-Anber
Published: March 2023

Recently, researchers intensified their efforts on a dataset with a large number of features named Big Data because of the technological revolution and the development in the data science sector. Dimensionality reduction technology has efficient, effective, and influential methods for analyzing this data, which contains many variables. The importance of Dimensionality Reduction technology lies in several fields, including “data processing, patterns recognition, machine learning, and data mining”. This paper compares two essential methods of dimensionality reduction, Feature Extraction and Feature Selection Which Machine Learning models frequently employ. We applied many classifiers like (Support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, Decision tree, and Naive Bayes ) to the data of the anthropometric survey of US Army personnel (ANSUR 2) to classify the data and test the relevance of features by predicting a specific feature in USA Army personnel results showing that (k-nearest neighbors) achieved high accuracy (83%) in prediction, then reducing the dimensions by several techniques like (Highly Correlated Filter, Recursive  Feature Elimination, and principal components Analysis) results showing that (Recursive  Feature Elimination) have the best accuracy by (66%), From these results, it is clear that the efficiency of dimension reduction techniques varies according to the nature of the data. Some techniques are more efficient than others in text data and others are more efficient in dealing with images.

In this era of globalization, English literacy is always at the forefront of our minds. English competence is significantly associated with the use of language learning strategies (Griffiths & Oxford, 2014; Pawlak, 2021). Nevertheless, a number of characteristics, including gender, influence the choice of language-learning strategies (Oxford, 1989). The purpose of the present study was to determine (1) the extent to which high school students apply specific language learning strategies and (2) whether there is a difference between the language learning strategies employed by male and female students. As data collection instruments, questionnaires based on Oxford's (1990) Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire were used. 321 Vietnamese high school students in grades 10 through 12 from the Mekong Delta participated in the study. The results demonstrated that, among the many types of learning methods, the students engaged metacognitive strategies most frequently, while affective strategies were applied the least. In addition, the data revealed how gender influences the choosing of language learning strategies by students. Accordingly, recommendations for increasing teaching and learning practices were provided, adding to the success of both the teaching and learning activities of teachers and students.
