Identification of airspaces with increased coordination effort based on radar data
Authors: Holzenkamp Sören , Jung Martin
Published: March 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems can be beneficial in various disciplines such as medicine, space travel or air transport. The Project “Collaboration of aviation operators and AI systems” (LOKI) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) aims to develop guidelines for a human-centered design of communication and also collaboration between users and AI systems. The Project focusses on areas of activity in air traffic management where operators work together collaboratively. To identify the potential for AI support of air traffic controllers as well as pilots, information about the coordination effort of aircrafts for air traffic controllers in the European airspace is needed. The aim of this paper is to identify areas of increased coordination effort for air traffic controllers based on four-dimensional radar data. Here, AI could be advantageous for air traffic management.For this purpose, we used flight tracking data from a network of ADS-B receivers. The data includes all flights in the upper European airspace in September 2019 and has a resolution of one data point per minute. First, the data was pre-processed and visualized. Afterwards three criteria for detecting possible communications between pilots and controllers were applied to the data. The first criterion examines the frequency of climbs and descents in the course of a flight. The second one analyses the changes in flight direction in the flight trajectories. The third criterion identifies aircraft that fall below a minimum vertical and lateral separation between each other. The Python programming language and various data science libraries were used to apply the criteria to the data. The result is a spatio-temporal cadastre with entries of possible controller communication which shows that relatively large areas with a high coordination effort for air traffic management controllers exist in Europe. These areas are mostly located in Central Western Europe and UK, but also in Spain, Portugal and Russia, inter alia. In reality, the coordination effort is probably even higher than in this model. Against this background, it is reasonable to conclude that the potential for using AI in air traffic management is rather high and that the use of AI can be beneficial for ATM operations in Europe.

Authors: Gonsher Ian , Ma Yumeng , Pineda-Dominguez Ivan , Lee Matthew , Han Yuxin
Published: March 2023

The growth in remote and hybrid work has resulted in an increased demand for collaborative, videoconferencing experiences that offer a more seamless and immersive transition between virtual and physical environments. The Mixed Reality Passthrough Window (MRPW) addresses this demand by introducing a new paradigm for the integration of augmented/mixed reality into laptop design. The design is characterized by two screens, situated back to back, with two mounted cameras, facing in opposite directions. This creates the effect of looking through a window, upon which virtual content can be augmented and overlaid. This configuration allows local users sitting around the laptop to more easily interact with remote users, who appear on both sides of the Mixed Reality Passthrough Window, giving the sense that all users are sharing the same space in the round. Additionally, these features create affordances for the outward facing screen to serve as a site for presentations (e.g. slide decks) and other sharable content.

In recent years social media is a very popular platform for any kind of business. During the pandemic, it became even more trendy for small business owners who run businesses from home. Particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh where socially and culturally women face a lot of obstacles to doing business. The number of female entrepreneurs in Bangladesh is growing day by day as this is an opportunity for them to earn and support their families. Initially, they prefer social media for their business platform because there is no need for business premises, and it is easy to target a large number of customers in a short period of time. While the prospect of female entrepreneurship is bright for this country, they are encountering cyberbullying on social media by some ill-minded people. This paper aims to find out how female entrepreneurs in Bangladesh experience and can prevent cyberbullying on social media. This is exploratory research. Qualitative data were collected through an online semi-structured interview method by using open-ended questions. Data were analysed thematically based on different codes and themes by using NVivo 12 software. The result shows how female entrepreneurs get cyberbullied on social media in this country. It also recommends some preventive actions that female entrepreneurs can exercise to protect themselves from cyberbullying while operating their businesses on social media.

Published: March 2023

Diabetes, often known as chronic sickness, is a collection of metabolic illnesses caused by a sustained high amount of sugar in the blood. Diabetes risk factors and severity can be considerably decreased if accurate early prognosis is achievable. Diabetic Retinopathy is a retinal condition that affects patients with diabetes mellitus and is the leading cause of blindness. It is a condition in which the blood vessels of the retina enlarge. If the level of diabetes is really high, this destroys the retina of the eye and may result in blindness. Diabetes prediction is extremely difficult due to the small number of labelled data and the existence of outliers (or missing values) in the data. In this paper, we provide a robust framework for diabetes prediction that includes outlier rejection, data normalisation, feature selection, and various Machine Learning (ML) classifiers (k-nearest Neighbours, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, and XGBoost). Graphs and charts will be displayed using data visualisation tools to provide deeper insights. Key Words: Machine Learning, Classification, SVM, KNN, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, KGBoost.

Published: March 2023

Due to the recent monkeypox outbreak's quick spread to more than 40 nations outside of Africa, public health is now at risk. It is difficult to diagnose clinically in its early stages since it resembles both chickenpox and measles. Computer-assisted monkey pox lesion detection may be helpful for surveillance and quick identification of suspected cases when confirmatory Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assays are not accessible. Under the condition there are enough training examples available, deep learning techniques have been demonstrated to be useful in the automated detection of skin lesions. Such databases are not currently accessible for the monkeypox condition. The majority of the photographs came from news websites, blogs, and publicly available case reports. A 3- fold cross-validation experiment is set up, and the sample size is increased through data augmentation. The second phase is categorizing diseases like monkeypox using several pre-trained deep-learning models including VGG-16, CNN, and Mobile Net. It is an ensemble of the three models created. An online method for screening for monkeypox is also being developed as a prototype web application. While the early results on this tiny dataset are promising.

Published: March 2023

The objective of this article was to compare different cardiovascular training machines and their effects on the body, as well as to determine their suitability for people with low intensity or high intensity training needs. A total of 8 physically active and healthy male subjects (mean ± standard deviation; age: 28.45 ± 1.75 years; height: 1.84 ± 0.07 m; body weight 76.42 ± 8.62 kg; body mass index: 25.5 ± 2.6) were evaluated through of an incremental exercise test at different intensities on two different machines: Elliptical Domyos 680 (BED) and Deconstruct Elliptical 331-EF (DEC). To compare both machines against the two mentioned training needs, two different protocols were carried out: Low Intensity Protocol  (LIP) and High Intensity Protocol (HIP). In addition, a thermographic analysis was carried out in order to determine the temperature differences reached in the musculature. No significant differences were found in HR and EE (p < .05) between the two machines. However, a greater and more progressive activation of the muscles of the upper extremities was observed in the DEC machine. In the HIP, HR and EE were measured, obtaining significant differences (p < .05) higher in the DEC machine. Therefore, in our comparison, the Deconstruct Elliptical machine produced more appropriate results for both low and high intensity training compared to the Elliptical machine. These results and the novel nature of the Deconstruct Elliptical raise the need for further studies to better understand this machine.

Instrumental Digital Didactics in Modern Pedagogy
Authors: Slipukhina Iryna , Chernetskyi Ihor , Andruszkiewicz Fabian
Published: March 2023

nstrumental digital didactics (IDD) is a practical component of modern pedagogy that reflects the process of acquiring knowledge using a variety of digital means of obtaining, processing and interpreting empirical data. In the process of e-learning digitized content acts only as an activator of sensory perception of information, simplifying the understanding of learning objects. Instead, IDD is based on active usage of technological means in training (e-learning, classical, distance, blended and hybrid learning) which complement and accompany nature experiment. Both concepts are parts of a wider category of digital didactics and logically protract the traditional theory of education in current conditions. DID complements the scientific method of conducting research and engineering design with such opportunities as creation of interactive computer models, visualization of experimental data and their comparison with theory, predicting the course of the process due to changes of influence factors. The development of digital didactics determines changes in the structure of teacher activity, which can be interpreted as didactic engineering. The IDD-based teaching techniques developed at the STEM-Laboratory MANLab are an example of an innovative knowledge management system.

Authors: Kurachka Kanstantsin , Kamrakou Uladzimir , Zakharenko Vladimir
Published: March 2023

Professional skills, as opposed to interpersonal skills, are types of skills that students learn in university. These skills are easy to quantify. The proficiency in these skills is easy to verify. Soft skills cannot be measured and tested as simply as professional skills. The authors highlight the most in-demand soft skills among employers. The article presents the results of several surveys of employers about the important requirements for jobseekers required for employment. Similar surveys were conducted among employers and employees of IT companies in the Republic of Belarus. It is concluded that soft skills are very important both for getting a first job and building a successful career. However, in the universities of the Republic of Belarus, teaching soft skills is poorly represented. The article shows how the process of teaching students of the second stage of higher education was modernized. Only the IT specialties of five Belarusian universities have undergone modernization. This work was carried out with the support of the international project MaCICT. At the same time, the experience of teaching similar disciplines in the universities of the European Union was used. To assess the effectiveness of students' acquisition of soft skills at the university, a system for assessing the results of the modernization of the learning process was developed. Questionnaires for teachers, students and employees of IT companies have been developed. A survey of all stakeholders in the results of the international project MaCICT was carried out. The paper provides information on the dissemination of the main approaches for organizing the teaching of IT specialties for teachers of another specialties of the Sukhoi State Technical University of Gomel, as well as for teaching IT disciplines of another universities in the Gomel region.

Context: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients tend to have lipid abnormalities, thus elevating the risk of complications and mortality. Early detection using a genomic approach could help identify the abnormality of lipid profiles so that it could reduce those burdens. A previous study found a high frequency of mutants in the rs2075604 as the intron area in the STK11 gene. Aims: To analyze the effect of rs2075604 related to lipid abnormalities in newly diagnosed T2DM patients. Methods: This present study conducted a cross-sectional study in the ten public healthcare facilities in Sleman, Yogyakarta. The genetic variants were detected using PCR-RFLP methods. A total of 130 patients who had to consume antidiabetic oral for three months participated in this study. Results: This study revealed that the mutant variant dominated in this population at 61.5%. Mutant genotype, mutant allele, and dominant model reduce the risk of low HDL (OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.11-0.99; OR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.24-0.90; OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.12-0.96; respectively). The improvement of low HDL risk by the mutant allele was confirmed through an adjusted model (OR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.23-0.98). The mutant allele only influenced high LDL risk in the non-adjusted model (OR = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.02-4.82), but it did not found in other models. Conclusions: The mutant of rs2075604 has a protective role in low HDL-c risk in Indonesia. However, further study is required to observe the effect on LDL-c.

Human rights are rights owned by humans as creatures created by God. Human rights have come a long way to fight for justice for people worldwide. Historically, the efforts taken to solve humanitarian problems have been carried out for a long time in the world, and no one knows for sure when human rights began to be fought for. The enforcement of human rights occurs because of the violation of the law. Enforcement of human rights is the duty of all levels of society, not only the duty of state institutions. All levels of society are expected to cooperate and help each other in upholding human rights to realize just and civilized human precepts and create a prosperous society. The formation of law cannot be separated from the decisions of judges (judge-made law) related to law enforcement, while law enforcement is essentially a process to realize the legal goals of legal ideas into reality. This paper examines aspects of human rights in the rule of law, between progressive law and positive law. Progressive law is pro-justice and pro-people law, meaning that in judging the legal actors are required to prioritize honesty, empathy, concern for the people, and sincerity in law enforcement. The authors chose this title because until now law enforcement, especially related to human rights in Indonesia is still not optimal, mainly because until now the State of Indonesia is still in a transition zone that is still characterized by legal uncertainty. The main problem in this article is how to apply the law to human rights violations, which institutions prosecute human rights violators, what are means of settlement used in cases of human rights violations in Indonesia, and what are the principles of Islamic law regarding human rights

The State of Indonesia is a state of law, meaning that all citizens and administrators must comply with the applicable laws. Nevertheless, the rule of law is often violated, even by law enforcement officers and lawmakers themselves. Law enforcement in Indonesia is still sharp downwards but blunt upwards. For this reason, it is necessary to improve law enforcement. Improvement in law enforcement can be made by improving the legal system, which includes legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. In addition, with the concept of a democratic rule of law, law enforcement is not only fixed on the written rule of law. If the written rule of law does not provide justice, then the written rule of law can deviate. Law enforcement is also supported by the emergence of progressive legal theory and integrative legal theory.

Indonesia is a democratic country that implemented regional autonomy. The era of regional autonomy has been implemented since the Indonesian government issued Law no. 22 of 1999 concerning Regional Government and has continued to this day. Many dynamics have occurred as well as challenges and achievements for this autonomy, such as local governments being able to advance programs according to their regional characteristics, even increasing cases of corruption by regional heads, and many more. Article 201 Paragraph (9) of Law Number 10 of 2016 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 1 of 2015 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulations in  Law Number 1 of 2014 Concerning the Election of Governors, Regents, and Mayors which has become Law Number 6 2020 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents and Mayors, mentioning that in commemoration of the deaths of the Governor and Deputy Governor, Regent, and Deputy Regent, as well as Mayor and Deputy Mayor whose term of office ends in 2022 and whose term ends in 2023, acting Governor, acting Regent, and acting Mayor is appointed until the election of the Governor and Deputy Governors, Regents, and Deputy Regents, as well as Mayors and Deputy Mayors through simultaneous national elections in 2024. Therefore, currently, many regional heads positions in Indonesia are welcomed by Regional Heads in Charge who is appointed by the Central Government by statutory provisions. This has become a polemic and the authors find that the implementation of regional autonomy has so far been suboptimal so the central government needs to further regulate the provisions for the placement of the intended Regional Heads in Charge to achieve an ideal of democracy.
