Published: March 2024

Error pattern recognition is a routine job in the military to provide corrective guidelines to the shooter. Errors can be recognized with a visual approach based on the spreading pattern of bullets on the target board, which are categorized into four categories: long horizontal error, long vertical error, bi-focal error, and scattered error. Currently, this process is performed manually and requires active human involvement. Similarly, an automated system to predict the future performance of a shooter is not available in the military domain. Moreover, the performance of a shooter depends on several factors, including age, weather, ammunition type, availability of light, previous scores, shooting range, classification of firing, and other factors. The military domain has not addressed the automatic prediction of such performance. While error correction and performance analysis have been extensively explored in the field of sports, their application within the military domain remains an untapped area of research and investigation. Numerous recent endeavors have suggested the utilization of deep learning to tackle this challenge. However, the absence of real-time data poses a significant obstacle, rendering these solutions seemingly impractical. In this paper, we have applied machine- learning approaches and adopted the best algorithm to automate the error pattern recognition system within a military domain. Our proposed methodology has two modules. The first module uses various algorithms and finds a random forest classifier that can do better to recognize the pattern of error and in the second phase, we used the AdaBoost classifier to predict the score and performance of a firer. Several experiments have been conducted, and the results show an average accuracy of 0.968 using Random Forest to recognize the pattern of error and an accuracy of 0.69 using AdaBoost to predict score performance. The data has been collected from the real-time environment of the military domain and experiments have been carried out using real-time scenarios with the military in mind.

Epilepsy is considered one of the primary neurological disorders, and its treatment requires abundant technological assistance. General Anaesthesia induces distinct patterns in brain activity, with the most common being a gradual increase in low-frequency signals as the level of Anaesthesia deepens. In this instance, a method of validating epileptic seizures and Anaesthesia through the utilization of electroencephalogram (EEG) data, acquired non-invasively, is introduced. Epileptic seizures and detection of the presence of Anaesthesia approaches make use of discrete Laplace Transformation (LT), Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT), and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Here, it is discussed how power spectral analysis (PSA) helps study EEG characteristics in detecting epileptic behavior and the presence of Anaesthesia. A dataset of EEG (Epileptic and Anaesthesia), which is available publicly [1,2], has been used in the propounded technique using FIR filters and LT, DCT, and FFT are used to store and process 16 channel data. Power Spectrum Density (PSD) and its average were contrasted against a specific spectrum and frequency range of a typical EEG signal to obtain the results. This work uses a technique to determine whether the patient being studied is epileptic and awake or anesthetized.

Deep learning has improved image captioning. Transformer, a neural network architecture built for natural language processing, excels at image captioning and other computer vision applications. This paper reviews Transformer-based image captioning methods in detail. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) extracted image features and RNNs or LSTM networks generated captions in traditional image captioning. This method often has information bottlenecks and trouble capturing long-range dependencies. Transformer architecture revolutionized natural language processing with its attention strategy and parallel processing. Researchers used Transformers' language success to solve image captioning problems. Transformer-based image captioning systems outperform previous methods in accuracy and efficiency by integrating visual and textual information into a single model. This paper discusses how the Transformer architecture's self-attention mechanisms and positional encodings are adapted for image captioning. Vision Transformers (ViTs) and CNN-Transformer hybrid models are discussed. We also discuss pre-training, fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning to improve caption quality. Transformer-based image captioning difficulties, trends, and future approaches are also examined. Multimodal fusion, visual-text alignment, and caption interpretability are challenges. We expect research to address these issues and apply Transformer-based image captioning to medical imaging and distant sensing. This paper covers how Transformer-based approaches have changed image captioning and their potential to revolutionize multimodal interpretation and generation, advancing artificial intelligence and human-computer interactions.

Published: March 2024

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the global economy, constituting 90% of all businesses. Despite being widely adopted by large businesses who have reported numerous benefits including increased profitability and increased efficiency and a survey in 2017 of 50 Fortune 1000 and leading firms’ executives indicated that 48.4% of respondents confirmed they are achieving measurable results from their Big Data investments, with 80.7% confirming that they have generated business. Big Data Analytics is adopted by only 10% of SMEs. The paper outlines a review of Big Data Maturity Models and discusses their positive features and limitations. Previous research has analysed the barriers to adoption of Big Data Analytics in SMEs and a scoring tool has been developed to help SMEs adopt Big Data Analytics. The paper demonstrates that the scoring tool could be translated and compared to a Maturity Model to provide a visual representation of Big Data Analytics maturity and help SMEs to understand where they are on the journey. The paper outlines a case study to show a comparison to provide intuitive visual model to assist top management to improve their competitive advantage.

Sentiment analysis is a critical component in natural language processing applications, particularly for text classification. By employing state-of-the-art techniques such as ensemble methods, transfer learning and deep learning architectures, our methodology significantly enhances the robustness and precision of sentiment predictions. We systematically investigate the impact of various NLP models, including recurrent neural networks and transformer-based architectures, on sentiment classification tasks. Furthermore, we introduce a novel ensemble method that combines the strengths of multiple classifiers to improve the predictive ability of the system. The results demonstrate the potential of integrating state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) models with ensemble classifiers to advance sentiment analysis. This lays the foundation for a more advanced comprehension of textual sentiments in diverse applications.

In the lightning-quick world of software development, it is essential to find the most effective and efficient development methodology. This thesis represents "Scrum Spiral" which is an improved hybrid software development model that combines the features of Scrum and Spiral approach to enhance the software development process. This thesis aims to identify the usefulness of "ScrumSpiral" methodology and compare it with other hybrid software development models to encourage its use in software development projects. To develop this hybrid model, we did extensive research on the software engineering domain and decided to create a hybrid model by using Scrum and Spiral, named "Scrum Spiral" which is suitable for complicated projects and also for those projects whose requirements are not fixed. Traditional software development models face numerous challenges in rapidly changing markets. By developing this kind of hybrid model, we want to overcome these kinds of limitations and present the software development community with a novel concept for better project results. Final outcome of this thesis was that we developed a model that should be able to complete the project according to the expected schedule, satisfy customer requirements, and obtain productivity through team coordination. The significance of the hybrid model "Scrum Spiral" is reflected in its ability to offer flexibility towards various size projects, proactive risk management to identify all risks before developing the system, and result in higher-quality outcomes for those projects whose requirements are not properly described initially in the project.

Through an analysis of literature and case studies, this review tracks the transformation of AI-driven pulse design from initial proof-of-concept studies to comprehensive scientific programs, shedding light on the potential implications for the broader NMR and MRI communities. The fusion of artificial intelligence and magnetic resonance pulse design stands as a promising frontier in spectroscopy and imaging, offering innovative enhancements in data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation across diverse scientific domains.
Restaging the Anthropocene
Authors: Craig Byron B. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: March 2024

In his 2015 encyclical, Pope Francis advanced five edicts on global climate change. Drawing on the work of Judith Butler and Kathryn Yusoff, I seek to contribute to our understanding of contemporary religious and environmental communication by examining the complex racial dynamics of the Anthropocene and the use of universals for political claims to action and justice. Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’, I argue, advances a Catholic rhetoric of the Anthropocene. While his intimate letter incites change and action, Pope Francis’s failure to address the specificity of racism in the global climate crisis reinforces criticisms that scholars such as Yusoff and Butler have advanced against universalism and the Anthropocene.
The Palazzo Migliori as Exemplification of Laudato Si’
Authors: Zompetti Joseph P. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: March 2024

Recently, Pope Francis dedicated a Vatican property—the Palazzo Migliori—as a homeless shelter. Pope Francis’s decision marks the culmination of many papal pronouncements, especially his 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si’, which provides a set of principles focused on taking care of both the environment and “the least of our brethren.” In this article, I engage in a rhetorical analysis of the pope’s theological and political framework based on what Endres and Senda-Cook (2011) call the “rhetoric of place” to explore how Pope Francis alters the symbolic meaning of Vatican property to advance social justice.

Authors: Campagni Caroline Rocha , Fonseca Débora Cristina
Published: March 2024

A história dos (des)caminhos da Educação Básica no Brasil acarretou exclusão da população pobre dos níveis mais elevados de ensino, e nesse cenário surgiram os Cursinhos Populares[1] como forma de ação afirmativa (AA), visando o acesso da população marginalizada à universidade. Neste artigo apresentamos parte dos resultados de um estudo de caso, e aqui objetivamos discutir se, e como um Cursinho Popular do interior de São Paulo (TRIU) contribui para o acesso de alunos ao Ensino Superior. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho interpretativo e crítico, e foi orientado a partir das concepções de Freire e Hooks. Os procedimentos adotados para a obtenção de dados foram: análise documental, aplicação de questionários e entrevista semiestruturada. Como ferramenta de análise foi utilizada a Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2004). Ao longo da pesquisa pudemos perceber que a pedagogia do afeto, a educação popular e o acolhimento praticados no TRIU são fundamentais para que exista um aprendizado efetivo dos conteúdos, e o consequente ingresso de seus estudantes nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES).

Defamation through social media is regulated in Article 27 Paragraph (3) of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions as amended by Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions. In fact, the article seems to be a rubber article because it can easily be applied, especially to events that actually fall within the scope of ordinary disputes between individuals through social media or limited to reality stories that then make personal offenses that are considered an attack on honor / good name. This then became a polemic in itself in the community because of the application of articles that are multiinterpretive without paying attention to the scope of events. The problem examined in this study is how the criminal provisions according to Article 27 (3) of the ITE Law and the limitations of the application of article 27 paragraph (3) of the ITE Law. As a form of problem solving for the polemic that continues to occur, on June 23, 2021, the government issued a Joint Decree of Criteria Guidelines. Implementation of the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions (SKB UU ITE). This decree was signed by the Minister of Communication and Information, the Attorney General and the Chief of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia, which is expected to be a law enforcement guideline so that there is no multiinterpretation of the implementation of the ITE Law which previously became a rubber article.

CENTRAL IMAGES AND MOTIFS OF GENNADY SHPALIKOV’S LATE POEMS
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Malashchenko V. V.
Published: March 2024

The material of the late poems by G. Shpalikov, one of the prominent representatives of poetry during the Khrushchev Thaw era, is singled out and examined in terms of the sphere of key images and motifs in the poet’s artistic world, which are encoded by the ontological-tragic situation of the lyrical subject in the enclosed chronotope of society. The central motifs of Shpalikov’s work during this period have been identified: motifs of loneliness, rootlessness, abandonment, vulnerability, farewell, hopelessness, and suicide. The semantic structure of the artistic world of the late (and not only late) poems is marked by a ternary model of “nature — human — civilization/society.” The movement of the “plot” in most late poems is determined by the internal catastrophic change in the psychological state of the lyrical subject, seeking voluntary departure from life, which is reflected in the expressive, emotionally evaluative, and reduced lexicon, the tightness of poetic lines, and tense syntax.

Increasing undergraduate student interpreters' fluency and accuracy in interpreting STEM content
Authors: Vesel Judy , Greene Ashley , Hauschildt Sean , Clark M. Diane
Published: March 2024

Interpreters who are skilled in interpreting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) content fluently and accurately are few and far between. This issue is particularly true at the post-secondary level. Those interpreters who are available often do not have command of the vocabulary needed to interpret more specialized content and rely heavily on letter-for-letter fingerspelling and word-for-word transliteration. This project looked at the knowledge of the principles of fingerspelling on undergraduate student interpreters' ability to interpret typical introductory biology lecture material accurately and fluently. Research involved modifying a signing bioscience dictionary (SBD), developing life science content summaries, creating videos of fingerspelling principles, and conducting an evaluation. Key findings showed participants' knowledge of bioscience vocabulary was significantly improved with use of the SBD and that their ability to interpret typical biology lecture material fluently and accurately improved. After watching the videos and learning to apply the principles of fingerspelling, their fingerspelling scores also improved significantly. However, there was no significant improvement in biology content knowledge.
Immunology, toxicology, and immunotoxicology: An overview
Authors: Chakraborty Shampa
Published: March 2024

Immunology, toxicology, and immunotoxicology are three different fields of science. Immunology is the branch of science that deals with the studies of the immune system. On the other hand, toxicology is the branch of science that deals with chemicals, toxic substances, or polluted environments and their ill effect on living creatures as well as the environment. Immunotoxicology deals with both fields of immunology and toxicology. Immunotoxicology is an active area of toxicology, but this is still a relatively small area. Over the past 30 years, the main focus of immunotoxicology has been the aspects of immunotoxicity from a mechanistic or regulatory process.
Perspective: Senselessness in ecotoxicological investigation
Authors: Tannenbaum Lawrence V.
Published: March 2024

Whether openly stated or not by the authors of nearly all ecotoxicology studies published in the peer-reviewed literature, the studies are conducted with the thinking that the furnished information is valuable for the field of ecological risk assessment. Reasonably too, those reading these published works share the same sentiment. These situations are unfortunate, for a closer inspection of the research conducted reveals that commonly, one or more study aspects render the data generated to be not utilizable for ecological risk assessment purposes. Some frequently encountered complications include using test species that are never assessed for health effects in the wild, the mode of chemical dosing deviating radically from the manner in which actual chemical exposures occur, and lacking an assessment methodology for expressing health impacts. Because ecotoxicological investigation often does not align with the applied-science needs of ecological risk assessment, this article wonders why the studies proceed. Moreover, this article recommends that authors caution their readership about the limited or lacking utility of the research they describe in the area of fostering assistance and embellishment to ecological assessment science.

Authors: Sid Ahmed Alliche , Ayoub Bennia , Najib Bouaziz Mohamed , Manal Bouaziz Amina
Published: March 2024

This work conducts a numerical examination into the influence of a magnetic field and viscosity dissipation on the movement of a micropolar fluid over the surface of a vertical, hollow circular cylinder via conjugate mixed convection. In this investigation, we obtained a numerical solution for a non-linear differential equations-based modeling system by employing MATLAB and the bvp4c solver, which operates on a two-equation model. We show graphically how micropolar materials, conjugate heat transfer, viscous energy dissipation, buoyancy factors and magnetic field affect the temperature at the interface, local skin friction and heat transfer. By contrasting the acquired results with those found in the published research, which exhibit a high degree of concordance, the validity of the methodology is proven.

La educación en tecnologías de la información y la comunicación como estrategia de biocontrol
Authors: Yate-Arévalo Abdénago
Published: March 2024

El artículo presenta las implicaciones bioéticasde las tecnologías de la información y lacomunicación en relación con las sociedadesy los individuos, mejor conocidos como sociedadde las tecnologías de la informacióny la comunicación. Se evidencian las problemáticasde las relaciones psicosocialesdesde el enfoque bioético y el papel que desempeñanlas instituciones académicas, asícomo la construcción emergente de valoressociales que conduce a que las necesidadesextendidas se conviertan en necesidadesbásicas. Para ello se utilizan las técnicas deanálisis hermenéutico documental escrito yde reflexión bioética, en especial el análisisde categorías cualitativas. Se puede concluirque la tecnocracia social y la idolatría porla enseñanza de la técnica deben permitirla co-construcción de espacios de reflexión,de tal suerte que los individuos no sufran dedesnivel prometeico, es decir, la asincroníadel hombre con su mundo de productos.
Las cenizas y los rastros
Authors: Rubiano Elkin

El artículo se ocupa de algunas imágenes y objetos que, aunque de procedencia diferente, se articulan en un mismo fin: ser índices de la violencia reciente en Colombia. En ese sentido, los objetos son la huella de algún tipo de violencia y las imágenes el vehículo testimonial de hechos atroces. La producción visual en contextos de violencia extrema articula distintas prácticas: la evidencia forense, la narrativa visual y las ofrendas de los dolientes. Tanto víctimas como perpetradores se emparentan mediante formas de simbolización que permiten, potencialmente, superar la lógica antagónica de amigo-enemigo para buscar otras formas de narrar y comprender el conflicto armando en Colombia.
Resistir a la imagen
Authors: Montes Felipe
Published: March 2024

Partiendo de algunos datos históricos sobre la relación entre pintura e imagen fotográfica, se plantea que el modelo fotográfico imperante implica la aceptación de la primacía del orden discursivo, como la manera acertada de entender y de relacionarse con el mundo, la cual privilegia la configuración del sentido sobre la experiencia misma. Se propone que una posible resistencia a la hegemonía de este modelo, desde lo pictórico, tendería a resaltar e incentivar lo que se encuentra más allá del discurso y la interpretación; todo lo que sea opaco, particular y coyuntural.
