This research conducted to gain an insight about the welfare of traditional fishermen and exchange rate of fishermen (NTN) Coast of Bias Lantang Seraya Timur, Karangasem, Bali using BPS indicator and NTN. The population in this study research are all traditional fishermen that are on the Coast of Bias Lantang Seraya Timur. Sampling of these studies is done using calculations from Slovin analysis. As for the method used in this research is case study method with a descriptive analysis, in which data collection is done using a questionnaire and presented in the form of a chart. The results from the prepared questionnaire's data indicate the level of traditional fishermen's welfare and the NTN that was calculated using a NTN. According to BPS, as known traditional fishermen on Bias Lantang Beach Seraya Timur Village had a high score of welfare rates (high range of score 15-21) with total score 18. Whereas based on the NTN it is known that the value of the traditional fishermen on Bias Lantang Beach Seraya Timur Village is 0.95 while the results of NTN<1 showing that traditional fishermen tend to possess a low welfare rated. As a result, there is a difference between the traditional welfare of fishermen on the Bias Lantang Seraya Timur Village used the BPS indicator and the use of NTN. This is because of the welfare of traditional fishermen using BPS indicator methods such as income, expenses, education, health, place, facilities, and status of ownership, wherefrom the seven indicators four indicators had a high score of indicator (score 3). Whereas NTN consists of two indicators (income and expenses), where the expenses of fishermen are bigger than the income.

Gopher Tortoise Seed Dispersal Monitoring
Authors: Torres Garcia Bryan
Published: March 2023

Gopher tortoises are native to Florida and vital to the ecosystem due to the underground boroughs they build, which provide shelter to other animals, and for their key role in seed dispersion. In order to improve our understanding of the role of gopher tortoises on biodiversity, we aim to investigate the digestive track of gopher tortoises. Data on seed dispersion distance and gut retention time are critical to effective and efficient endangered plant species conservation efforts. In a multidisciplinary project between Department of Earth and Environment, College and Engineering, and the Miami Zoo, we are fabricating an ingestible device to monitor and map the digestive tract of gopher tortoises. The device needs to be properly encapsulated to prevent any harm to the animal. Device encapsulation has been developed, but requires extensive validation before deployment. To mimic the passage of the device and the effect of the gut, device encapsulation is tested on small plastic beads. The integrity of the coating is analyzed by measuring the cross-section thickness. In addition, UV-Vis was used to quantify scratches in the coating. Enclosure for the external trackers were designed and 3D printed to hold in place an external device that serves as a logger and aids in data transmission, placed on the tortoise's shell.
Image Analysis for SWNT Growth on Shutter Sputtered Catalyst
Authors: Arias Rebekah
Published: March 2023

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have been used in remarkable ways since their discovery in 1991 by Sumio Iijima. Properties such as high thermal conductivity, good mechanical strength, and electrical conductivity are what make CNTs attractive. Some of their applications include water filtration, vehicles, energy storage, and now there is great potential in the biomedical field for CNTs as composites in tissue engineering, therapeutics carrier across the blood-brain barrier, cancer treatment, and much more. The issue that comes with Single-Walled Nanotubes (SWNTs) however is Ostwald ripening of catalyst and low CNT production. It is difficult to control gas parameters for hydrogen and argon and can be dangerous in a smaller lab, so acetylene without dilution gas is used. The method proposed here utilizes shutter sputtering of Iron on a th-SiO2/AlO substrate, followed by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for annealing. Shutter sputtering allows greater particle adhesion to the substrate due to wavelength and energy changes, allowing smaller catalysts to grow and a greater possibility of long SWNTs.

Published: March 2023

Objectives:

Health screening is essential for early detection and prompt management of diseases, particularly chronic conditions. The study assessed and classified participants’ health parameters according to standard classifications. Associations between participants’ socio-demographics and observed health parameters were also assessed.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional survey of 400 adults was performed in a community pharmacy in Nigeria, using a pretested questionnaire. Health parameters were measured and analyzed descriptively with SPSS version 24. Chi-square tests and Pearson’s correlation analysis were also performed (P < 0.05).

Results:

A 100% response rate was recorded in the study. Mean temporal temperature (TT) and respiratory rate (RR)/minute were 36.627°C ± 0.3143 and 18.20 ± 3.261, respectively. Almost half, (195; 48.8%) were 20–39-years-old. Almost all (399/400; 99.8%) had normal TT, normal RR (347/400; 86.8%), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (326/400; 81.5%), and about a third had pains (156/400; 39.0%). Age was significantly associated with RR (P = 0.008) and FBG (P = 0.002). Gender and educational levels were significantly associated with RR (P = 0.003) and FBG (P = 0.001), respectively. A weak negative correlation (r = −0.018; P = 0713) between participants’ FBG and TT was observed. FBG was negatively correlated with pain level (r = −0.091; P = 0.068), while pain level was negatively correlated with TT (r = −0.010; P = 0.832). Relationship between TT and RR showed weak positive correlation (r = 0.023; P = 0.637).

Conclusion:

Health parameters were mostly normal, but selectively associated with socio-demographics. The study shows the role of community pharmacists in routine point of care testings, and findings suggest a focus of healthcare on the correlation of age, gender and educational level with FBG and RR.

Published: March 2023

Background:

Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor with characteristic radiological features in most cases.

Case Description:

We highlight an unusual case of a 54-year-old woman, neurologically intact, with a diagnostically challenging lesion. The patient’s magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left frontal lesion with surrounding edema and a hemosiderin ring, misleading it to be a cavernoma. Intraoperatively, the lesion was found to be a solid tumor with hematoma and was confirmed to be glioblastoma on histopathology.

Conclusion:

The dilemma associated with our patient’s radiological findings and longstanding history of epilepsy is rare and a diagnostic challenge.

Published: March 2023

The design of novel chromophores showing specific photophysical traits is nowadays crucial for the development of new dyes and optical devices. Azobenzene derivatives comprise the largest fraction of the industrial dyes and remain one of the main functions to be employed in the design of general-purpose photoactivated switches. In this context, we have investigated the optical and photoisomerization properties of two push-push azo derivatives, from a purely theoretical perspective, to outline a mechanistic landscape that can contribute to setting the grounds for the future goal of formulating dyes with particular photophysical properties. Both derivatives show downhill excited-state potential energy surfaces, hinting at fast photoactivated isomerization. In addition, both the trans and cis forms show nearly complementary absorption spectra leading to discriminatory color and differential excitation possibilities. Additionally, the reverse cis to trans ground state thermal isomerization reactions show higher energy barriers than the parent azobenzene molecule, supporting their potential use in different technological applications.

The biological activity of two chemically synthesized nanocomposites (NC) of copper(I) oxide (Cu2О) based on natural polymer matrices of arabinogalactan (AG) and starch (ST) was studied in order to develop a new growth stimulator for plants. The results of experiments on studying the effect of NC on the growth rates (length and weight of stems, biomass of roots) of soybean seedlings and the content of diene conjugates (DC) in the tissues of their stems, as well as on the growth of stems and the number of leaves, the biomass of the aerial parts of plants and roots of the potato variety “Lugovskoy” in vitro, infected with the causative agent of ring rot – the bacterium Clavibacter sepedonicus and controls, and the content of DC in the tissues of their leaves and roots. The results of the study of the growth-stimulating effect on plants of Cu2O/AG and Cu2O/ST showed that only NC Cu2O/AG has this effect. Microscopy of potato root tissues using fluorescent dyes showed that when processing potatoes with NC Cu2О /AG, its roots do not die, the cells remain viable. The effect of the nanocomposite copper oxide-starch Cu2O/ST on soybean seedlings was expressed in a decrease in the growth and weight of the stems, a neutral effect on the length and weight of the roots, and an increase in the content of DC in their tissues. The same kind of effect was also registered on microclonal potato plants. On the contrary, the nanocomposite of copper oxide – arabinogalactan Cu2O/AG stimulated an increase in the length and weight of the stems of soybean seedlings, as well as the biomass of roots and significantly reduced the level of DC in their tissues. A negative effect on the growth and development of potatoes, as well as the status of the redox system of potatoes, both infected with the Cms pathogen and free from infection, was not established: the level of DC in its tissues did not increase. The experiments performed indicate the prospects of using the nanocomposite copper oxide – arabinogalactan Cu2O/AG of arabinogalactan as a means for combating bacterial pathogens of agricultural crops.

Authors:   Central Siberian Botanical Garden SB RAS, Makryi T. V.
Published: March 2023

Cyanobiont lichens are one of the most ancient groups of organisms. They are of great interest to researchers, but so far the ranges and ecology of many even well-known species have not been well studied. The data on 23 species of jelly cyanobiont lichens from the families Lichinaceae (eight species, six genera) and Collemataceae (fifteen species, five genera), are discovered on the territory of Orenburg State Nature Reserve, are provided. The studies were carried out in 3 cluster areas of the reserve: Cis-Ural steppe, Burtinskaya steppe and Aytuarskaya steppe. The most interesting area is the Aytuar steppe, represented by a network of deeply incised picturesque gullies, since there are outcrops of carbonate rocks that are very favorable for cyanobiont lichens to inhabit. Localities, habitats, substrate, and dates of specimen collections are reported. Literature data on cyanolichens found earlier on the territory of the reserve are taken into account. Most of the species found on the territory of the Orenburg Reserve are known in the Middle Urals (Sverdlovsk region). Anema tumidulum was recorded for the first time in the Urals, the second time in Russia; three species, A. nummularium, Synalissa symphorea and Thyrea confusa are new to the Southern Urals, six species, Anema decipiens, Enchylium polycarpon, Lathagrium auriforme, L. undulatum, Scytinium plicatile, S. schraderi, are new to the Orenburg Region. Most of the species were found in the Shinbutak gully. The findings of representatives of the Lichinaceae family, and especially of three species of Anema, which are obligate calciphilous epilithic lichens, are the most interesting. The species Collema minor, previously listed for the Reserve, has been excluded from the list of species as dubious
Analysis of the Cultural Layer and Taphonomy of Stone Tools (Based on Materials from the Caucasus)
Authors:   Laboratory of Prehistory, Golovanova L. V.
Published: March 2023

A comprehensive analysis of the cultural layer is important for determining natural or intentional damage of stone tools in a particular industry. The study of stone tools taphonomy is also of great importance for interpretation of cultural complexes, reconstruction of adaptation models of Paleolithic humans in various environmental conditions. This article discusses the hypothesis of “trampling”, used to explain the increased number of denticulate tools in Cave sites. However, a comparative analysis of the number of artifacts per cubic meter, showing the intensity of habitation, and the number of denticulate tools shows the absence of direct correlation between these variables. There is also no direct relationship between the number of cave bear bones and the percentage of denticulate tools. The micro-facial analysis of the cultural layer is important, because human activity could vary greatly in different parts of the cultural layer. The example of the Akhshtyrskaya cave shows a change within the cultural layer in the composition of stone assemblages and fauna remains from the entrance towards the interior of the cave. The concept of the “cultural layer” includes: geological processes of the layer formation, postdepositional geological processes during formation of the layer, and postdepositional processes that destruct the layer after completion of its formation. The natural factors affecting the processes of formation and destruction of the cultural layer also include natural biological factors, such as bioturbation, "trampling", contribution of predators to faunal collections, and bone transformation (gnawing). The archaeological context of the cultural layer comprises human activity during formation of the layer and and its destruction by later inhabitants of the site. The examples given for the Caucasus Paleolithic sites show that the study of stone tools preservation made in the context of the planigraphic analysis of a cultural layer and its preservation in different areas provides valuable information for the interpretation of natural or artificial damages on stone tools. A thorough planigraphic analysis can help to clarify issues related to the origin of denticulation and other damages on stone artifacts, as well as if the damaged artifacts occur compactly and separately from the tools with a good preservation or were found in a joint occurrence. It is important to study the intentional manufacture of denticulate tools, formation of denticulation as a result of the functional use of tools. The unintentional formation of denticulation is closely related to natural geological processes.

The first multilayered clearly stratified site Vylys Tom 2 was studied in the valley of the Izhma River, the largest left tributary of the Pechora River (north of the East European Plain). Cultural remains are located in the sediments of the terrace’s promontory, which is 10 m high. The site is discovered in 2003; excavations were done in 2010–2011, 2015, 2017. Four cultural layers are distinguished. The first cultural layer is placed in contemporary forest soil. Badly preserved fragments of ceramic vessels are found in this layer. Nevertheless, typical peculiarities of their forms and ornament allow to date this layer to the end of Ananyino culture of Early Iron Age (VI–III century BC). The second cultural layer is placed in brown loam at 0.3–0.5 m depth from contemporary day surface. Flint artifacts are not numerous. Heat treatment of flint, thin bifaces production, and large burins are typical for the Neolithic with pit-comb ceramics. The third and fourth cultural layers are placed in thin humus sandy loam of alluvial soil strata and found at >2 m depth from contemporary day surface. It is low floodplain alluvium with a high sedimentation rate. The third layer has been dated to 7720±100 BP (GIN-15331), 7800±90 BP (GIN-14593), 8510±70 BP (LU-7289), and 8685±30 BP (IGANams-5991), while the obtained dates for the fourth layer are 8540±70 BP (GIN-14594), 8690±90 BP (LU-7288), and 8700±30 BP (IGANams-5992). The high rate of accumulation of sediments shows that the dates 7720±100 and 7800±90 BP from the third cultural layer are rejuvenated. And there is about 10 years between the existence of camp sites of the third and fourth layers. In these layers, fireplaces, traces of ocher, faunal remains, and stone products are noted, including a set of peckingabrasive stone tools for processing bone, and flakes from large slate polished tools (third layer), as well as large points, cores (including core-burins), polished axes and their fragments (fourth layer). We distinguish similarity the inventories of the third and fourth cultural layers. The used raw materials show the presence of shale and epidosite in both layers. The presence of ocher, the location of the hearths one above the other also confirm the short time interval between the existence of the Mesolithic sites of the third and fourth layers. Some similarities in the stone industry of the Mesolithic layers from the site of Vylys Tom 2 and the sites of Parch Mesolithic culture speak of their interrelations.
Dance as Revolution: Exploring Prisoner Agency Through Arts-based Methods
Authors: Dunbar Winsor Katharine , Sheppard Amy
Published: March 2023

Carceral spaces such as prisons are designed to restrict freedoms and keep inhabitants confined and under surveillance through various mechanisms. As a result, prisons are spaces where movement is restricted through confinement, while prisoners’ ability to move is conflated with freedom. We aim to move beyond this dichotomy and consider a complex rethinking of the body in criminological theory and practice through dance in carceral space. In doing so, we explore under what conditions movement represents agentic practices. Understanding these nuances requires an interrogation of prisoner agency, including prisoners’ subtle maneuverability of power dynamics within the prison. We explore these dynamics using feminist and arts-based methods, specifically dance workshops delivered to twenty participants incarcerated in a Canadian provincial women’s prison. We find that movement and expression in prison may create moments of agentic freedom for incarcerated women under certain conditions. We argue that more nuanced understandings of incarcerated women’s agency can be found in their daily negotiations of time and space, and movement can provide numerous meanings. Our findings suggest arts-based approaches within prison environments create opportunities for women to express their identity and sexuality through movement in ways otherwise not permitted in prison. For many incarcerated women in this study, this sense of freedom may be associated with the ability to focus and take care of themselves while confined.

Published: March 2023

The principles of MANETs, or mobile ad hoc networks, form the foundation of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Vanet was first introduced as "Car to Vehicle ad hoc mobile communication and networking" in 2001. In order to build a communication network and transfer data among vehicles, Vanet were invented. Vanet uses a variety of means to establish communication, including vehicle-to-vehicle communication. In this project, both roadside-to-roadside and vehicle-to-roadside communications are employed, and vehicle-to-roadside communication is taken into consideration. A different term for VANETs is Intelligent Transportation Networks. The "Internet of Vehicles" (Vanet) has expanded into a larger system and will ultimately become the internet. There will be a "Internet of autonomous vehicles" in the not too distant future. Wireless networking is used by Vanets for networking and communication; even LTE and 5G may be used by vanets. In this project, a protocol is being developed to provide security for the established connection in Vanet, i.e., to recognise and stop any network intrusions. The NS2 network simulator is used to implement this protocol for testing purposes.

In India, more than half of the workforce is employed in agriculture and related sectors, which account for around 17 percent of the country's Gross Value Added (GVA). In India, 60–70% of the workforce is employed in agriculture directly or indirectly. Given the importance of food to human existence, it is always difficult to produce food profitably, efficiently, and with minimum land usage. The project's approach offers farmers a one-stop shop for all of their agricultural requirements. It uses a crop forecast system, a weather analysis model, information about government programmes, a system for renting equipment, and a system for analysing market prices. The system for renting out tools that has been developed here gives users the option of lending out their unused agricultural equipment in order to generate passive money from it. The farmer may make a claim for crop insurance or during crop losses with the aid of proper understanding of these programmes. The farmers are informed by our model, which is now in use, about potential future market price patterns.

Published: March 2023

This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the anxiety levels of the players playing in the Men‘s Water Polo Turkish First Division (known as Super League) teams at different periods and their nutritional status, and diet quality. The study was conducted among 60 players who professionally play water polo at different sports clubs. In order to determine the anxiety levels of the players at different time periods, the Sports Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT-A) was applied to the players on two different days. To evaluate the players’ nutritional status, 2 days of food consumption were recorded, 1 day for training and the other for match day. The quality of the players’ diet was evaluated using the Healthy Eating Index -2010. The players’ anxiety (SCAT-A scores) on the match day was found to be higher than on the training day (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between the players’ anxiety levels on training and match days and the diet quality components nor total Healty Eating Index (HEI-2010) scores on either day (p>0.05). Further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between anxiety levels experienced by players at different times and nutritional status and diet quality.

Published: March 2023

This paper investigates steady state and transients' performance of Brushless Direct Current Motor (BLDC) motor and collates the performance of Proportional Integral (PI) and Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Controller. Speed and torque behavior is most valuable nowadays for home appliance and other applications. The torque in motor is produced with effect of magnetic field and current. Magnetic field is generated in motor by the strong permanent magnet, and motor current depends upon voltage control and Eb, which is done by field and speed motor. In order to obtain required torque and speed at a particular load, current required must be controlled. The transient or dynamic response analysis is done with transfer function of BLDC motor obtained by the Laplace transform of equivalent circuit equation. The trapezoidal type BLDC machine is controlled using 3-phase Inverter Bridge. The commutation sequence is done with hall sensor and gate pulses. The simulation work is done in MATLAB/ Simulink software and mathematical model is evaluated. The analysis is done to know the performance of how quickly the transient reduces and gives smooth operation for various applications.
Blur image detection and classification using resnet-50
Authors: Bhuvaneswari Polavarapu , Hema Mamidipaka
Published: March 2023

Blur classification is important for blind image restoration. It is difficult to detect blur in a single image without knowing any additional information. This paper uses edge detection methods and a deep learning convolutional neural network called Resnet-50 to classify blurry-type images. The Resnet model effectively reduces the gradient vanishing problem and uses connection skipping to train the network. Typically, images are subject to defocus blur and motion blur, which are caused by the incorrect depth of field and the movement of objects during capture. The dataset used here is the blur dataset from Kaggle, which consists of sharp images, images with blur, and motion blur. In this paper, edge detection methods are applied to images using Laplace, Sobel, Prewitt, and Roberts filters and derived features such as mean, variance, and maximum signal-to-noise ratio, which are used to train a classification algorithm for image classification.

Wright Brothers used morphing wing for Wright flyer, and type of morphing wing used then was twisting the wing prepared with the help of bicycle tubes and cardboards. But to enhance the morphing wing technology and to produce more effective results aerodynamically, and increase lift performances and lower drag performances, better materials with better mechanism had to be used. This research is directed towards morphing a Supersonic aero elastic wing in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Here a CFD analysis of National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)0012 airfoil, made of a morphing material is done in the initial part. It has low and transonic regions of CFD analysis in the said airfoil. The problems persisting with the high speed aerodynamic CFD analysis is brought out in detail. Later part of the work is on designing of a self-trainable and multilayer Artificial Deep Neural Network and its programming using Python deep learning (Python Anaconda). It also explains how these Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques help immensely in supersonic aerodynamic and aeroelastic analysis of the aerofoils. The data from designing the aerofoil and its CFD analysis will be used for training the deep neural networks, which is done by the Python code.
Power flow control capability analysis of unified power flow controller
Authors: Satyavir Singh
Published: March 2023

In the field of power system restructuring, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) technology has become indispensable for alleviating the challenges of load flow control, voltage control, transient stability, and dynamic stability. The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the fastest, most flexible, and most capable FACTS device because it has the full advantage of providing simultaneous and independent real-time control of voltage, impedance, and phase angle, which are the main power system parameters that affect system performance. This paper uses a Newton-Raphson load flow that includes UPFC to analyze how UPFC can control the flow of power.
Preserving Integrity of Evidence with Blockchain Technology in Cloud Forensics for Immigration Management

As the popularity of cloud computing increases, safety concerns are growing as well. Cloud forensics (CF) is a smart adaptation of the digital forensics model that is used for fighting the related offenses. This paper proposes a new forensic method relying on a blockchain network. Here, the log files are accumulated and preserved in the blockchain using different peers. In order to protect the system against illegitimate users, an improved blowfish method is applied. In this particular instance, the system is made up of five distinct components: hypervisor (VMM), IPFS file storage, log ledger, node controller, and smart contract. The suggested approach includes six phases: creation of the log file, key setup and exchange, evidence setup and control, integrity assurance, agreement validation and confidential file release, as well as blockchain-based communication. To ensure efficient exchange of data exchange between the cloud provider and the client, the methodology comprises IPFS. The SSA (FOI-SSA) model, integrated with forensic operations, is used to select the keys in the best possible way. Finally, an analysis is conducted to prove the effectiveness of the proposed FOI-SSA technique.

Background: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is a helpful adjunct in the management of hemorrhagic shock due to bleeding in the abdomen or pelvis. Ischemia distal to the occlusion is a concern; intermittent aortic balloon inflation (i-REBOA) is a novel way to achieve decreased ischemia time.

Methods: This study was conducted using data from the multinational ABO Trauma Registry. All patients entered between January 2016 and December 2019 were included.

Results: The sample consisted of 157 patients. There were 57 patients in the i-REBOA group (36%) and 100 in the REBOA group (64%). The groups were similar in gender (P = 0.50), age (P = 0.17), mechanism of injury (P = 0.42), and injury severity score (P = 0.13). The levels of international normalized ratio (INR) (P < 0.01), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) (P < 0.01) and lactate (P = 0.02) were higher in the i-REBOA group. Total balloon inflation times were longer in the i-REBOA group (P < 0.01). Major complication rates did not differ between groups. Mortality rates between groups were similar in the Emergency Department (ED) (3.8% for i-REBOA vs 10.1%; P = 0.17), within 24 hours (43.4% for i-REBOA vs 38.2%; P = 0.54), and at 30 days (63.6% for i-REBOA vs 48.4%; P = 0.07).

Conclusions: The data from this registry show that i-REBOA is currently being used and may allow for longer total balloon inflation times without higher morbidity or mortality rates.
