Graphology analysis for detecting hexaco personality and character through handwriting images by using convolutional neural networks and particle swarm optimization methods
Authors: Barata Alvin , Akbar Habibullah , Pilliang Marzuki , Nasihin Anwar
Published: December 2022

Graphology or handwriting analysis can be used to infer the traits of the writers by examining each stroke, space, pressure, and pattern of the handwriting. In this study, we infer a six-dimensional model of human personality (HEXACO) using a Convolutional Neural Network supported by Particle Swarm Optimization. These personalities include Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, eXtraversion, Agreeableness (versus Anger), Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience. A digital handwriting sample data of 293 different individuals associated with 36 types of personalities were collected and derived from the HEXACO space. A convolutional neural network model called GraphoNet is built and optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The PSO is used to optimize epoch, minibatch, and droupout parameters on the GraphoNet. Although predicting 32 personalities is quite challenging, the GraphoNet predicts personalities with 71.88% accuracy using epoch 100, minibatch 30 and dropout 52% while standard AlexNet only achieves 25%. Moreover, GraphoNet can work with lower resolution (32 x 32 pixels) compared to standard AlexNet (227 x 227 pixels).

Published: December 2022

On dokuzuncu yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde geliştirilen ve Hamparsum Limonciyan adlı Ermeni bir müzisyenin adıyla toplumsal hafızaya yerleşen Hamparsum müzik yazısı, geçmişi hatırlamamızı sağlayan bazı ezgilerin yanı sıra, büyük bir kültürel yapının yeniden kurgulanmasını sağlayacak tarihsel verileri Hamparsum müzik el yazmaları aracılığıyla günümüze aktarır. Hamparsum müzik el yazmaları, Geleneksel Türk Sanat Müziğini temsil eden birçok eserin günümüze ulaşmasını sağlamış, kültürel aktarım sürecinde önemli bir rol üstlenmiştir. Günümüzde, Hamparsum müzik el yazmalarının ilk örneklerinin de bulunduğu en önemli kurumsal arşiv, İstanbul Üniversitesi Nadir Eserler Kütüphanesidir. Bu arşivde kayıtlı on beş el yazması defterden, Y. 213/11 arşiv numaralı Hamparsum müzik el yazması belge, Hamparsum müzik yazısının Türk müziğini temsil rolünü açıklamak amacıyla seçilmiştir. Bu Hamparsum müzik el yazmasında, “Takım” adlandırmasıyla sekiz eser saptanmış ve Mevlevî Âyini formu içinde görülen saz terennümleri ile ilişkisi açıklanmıştır. Takım teriminin günümüzde kullanılan anlamı dışında bir müzikal yapıyı temsil ettiği, Mevlevî Âyinlerinin selâm olarak adlandırılan bölümlerinde görülen saz terennümlerinin art arda sıralanmasıyla meydana gelen bir çalgısal formun adı olduğu saptanmıştır. Takım formunu açıklamak üzere, Y.213/11 Hamparsum müzik el yazmasında görülen “Bestenigâr Takım” örneklem olarak seçilmiş ve İstanbul Konservatuvarı Neşriyatı Mevlevî Âyinleri XXIII içinde kayıtlı Bursalı Mehmed Sadık Efendi’nin Bestenigâr Mevlevî Âyini ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Mevlevî Âyinleri’nin selam olarak adlandırılan bölümleri arasında usul ve makam değişimlerinde geçişleri sağlayan saz terennümleri ayrı bir müzikal yapı olarak düşünülmediği için şimdiye kadar bilimsel bir çalışma ile değerlendirilmemiştir. Terennümlerin bir form oluşturacak şekilde art arda dizilmesi ilk olarak Hamparsum Hamparsum müzik el yazmalarında varlığı saptanan bir müzikal ifade biçimidir. Bu incelemenin sonucunda, “Takım Formu” ile bir Mevlevî adap ve geleneği olan müptedi mukabelesinin geleneksel yapısı arasındaki bağlantılar açıklanmıştır. Bu icra geleneğinin tespit edilmesi ve açıklanmasıyla, kültürün içinde yeniden sürdürülebilir olması sağlanmış ve bu konuda yapılacak çalışmalara temel oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışma, bir müzik yazısının görünen anlamları dışındakilere odaklanarak, mitler, metaforlar ve kodlar aracılığıyla anlamı yeniden inşa etmek üzere kurgulanmıştır. Tarihsel yapı bütünü içinde, kültürel ve müzikal göstergeler arasındaki bağlantıların çözümlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Hamparsum müzik el yazmasına sıradan anlamsız bir düzende dizilmiş izlenimi veren müzikal yapılar, metinlerarasılığın verileriyle okunup kültürel göstergelerin izinde açıklanmıştır. Toplumun hafızasında elenerek ve zamanda yer değiştirerek aktarılan müzikal yapının kanonu temsil ettiği bilgisine ulaşmak, bu kuram tasarımından beklenen sonuçtur.

Published: December 2022

A Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem reflete a população masculina, que frequenta menos que a população feminina,os serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde. Este comportamento é influenciado por diversos fatores biopsicossocioculturais. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi identificar os fatores dificultadores para o acesso e acompanhamento de rotina do homem nas instituições de saúde. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada nos Bancos de Dados online da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, sendo elas: ScientificElectronic Library Online, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde e a Base de Dados de Enfermagem. A amostra foi composta por 10 artigos publicados durante o período de 2010 a 2021. A coleta dos artigos foi realizada durante o 2º semestre de 2021, nos meses de agosto e setembro, pelo pesquisador responsável. Foi utilizado um formulário de elaboração própria para a captação dos artigos da amostra. Com a análise dos artigos, foi observado que as barreiras que dificultam a busca do público masculino aos serviços de saúde são os horários de funcionamento das unidades que não coincidem com o horário de trabalho; as equipes de saúde serem constituída maioritariamente por mulheres; a demora em conseguir atendimento; e o pensamento de infalibilidade do homem. Portanto, estes fatores dificultadores contribuem para a piora na qualidade de vida do homem de modo a diminuir a sua expectativa de vida, bem como aumentar o índice de doenças crônicas transmissíveis e não transmissíveis que podem ser evitadas.

Published: December 2022

Indonesia has great potential in producing large quantities of renewable energy sources, such as biomass. Biogas is a renewable energy source produced from biomass. It is can be developed in agricultural countries producing rice and coffee, where a large amount of waste is produced in the form of rice husks and coffee grounds. This study examined the effect of physiochemical pretreatment and the C/N ratio on biogas production using coffee grounds and rice husk mixtures. Physical pretreatment was conducted by grinding the mixture up to 50 mesh size, followed by chemical pretreatment by soaking the mixture in 3% KOH; moreover, the variation in the C/N ratio was set at 25 and 30. Anaerobic bacteria were acquired from rumen fluid. The ratio of the coffee ground material, rice husks, and rumen fluid was 1:1:1. This research was conducted in duplicate under batch conditions at ambient temperature (25–35 oC) with a digester volume of 1.5 L. Biogas productivity was measured every 2 d for 60 d. The experimental results indicated that biogas production with a C/N ratio of 30 was 13.3–66.5% higher than that with a C/N ratio of 25. The inclusion of physical pretreatment at a C/N ratio of 30 increased biogas production by up to 31.3%. Moreover, the inclusion of a chemical pretreatment at a C/N ratio of 30 resulted in 30.3% higher biogas production. The kinetics model of biogas production showed that a C/N ratio of 30 with physical and alkaline pretreatment can produce maximum biogas yields of 6,619 mL and 6,570 mL, respectively. Overall, both pretreatments sequentially increased the biogas production significantly.

Authors: Borowska Anna
Published: December 2022

This article provides an effective method of determining the coordinates of points and the angles for various surfaces approximating the ellipsoid surface. The stands of the stadium (with a capacity of up to 82,000 seats) with rows shaped by ellipse arcs were designed (in accordance with the European Standard EN 13200-1). An algorithm was proposed to determine the optimal height of the ring steps (with the guarantee of unobstructed vision of the entire playing field from each seat of the stands). The second algorithm ensures a comfortable space in each individual seating place in the stands (deviation of the depth of the row generated by ellipse arcs did not exceed 0.000009 m at any place of the stands). This article encourages readers to program DXF files (read in the AutoCAD system) to streamline design work.

Published: December 2022

In this article, we reported the micron sized particles of poly (methacrylic acid) (p [MAA]) microgel and explored their applications as anionic adsorbents. The micron sized particles of poly (methacrylic acid) microgel were prepared by a simple inverse suspension polymerization method. The adsorptive elimination of adsorbates of cationic nature including malachite green (MG) and methylene blue (MB) from the aqueous medium was studied systematically. The adsorption tests were carried out using various initial concentrations of dyes and with different amounts of adsorbents. The adsorption equilibrium was established in 60 min. The adsorption capacity of the p (MAA) microgel was found as high as 351 mg/g for MG and 65 mg/g for MB. The maximum removal percentage for MG and MB was recorded as 88 and 68%, respectively. The adsorption data was computed with adsorption isotherm models including Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin. The Langmuir model was observed to be more applicable for the adsorption of MG while the adsorption of MB was best matched with Temkin model. The adsorption data was also treated with pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic models along with intraparticle diffusion and Elovich models. The pseudo second order kinetic model was most suitable with adsorption of both the MG and MB.

General fractional calculus is popular recently. Fractional uncertain differential equations (FUDEs) with general memory effects are proposed in this paper. Firstly, existence and uniqueness theorems of solution for general fractional uncertain differential equations (GFUDEs) is presented, and the analytic solution of a linear one is given. Then the concept of α-path is introduced, and relationship between solution of GFUDE and corresponding α-path is also discussed. In addition, a theorem is proved to obtain the expected value of a monotonic function related to solutions of GFUDEs. Finally, a numerical example is given to better understand the significance of general memory effects. This paper provides more types of FUDEs to better describe some phenomena in uncertain environments.

Design and development of analytical methods with environment friendly reagents and solvents is the need of the hour for labs engaged in analytical services. Every year thousands of chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories worldwide are generating tons of toxic chemical wastage causing environmental pollution thereby endangering the human existence. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a sensitive, stability-indicating, accurate and precise green chemistry RP-HPLC method with RI detector for the simultaneous quantitation of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate from various pharmaceutical dosage forms. Complete separation of both the actives was achieved in isocratic mode by using Hypersil BDS Phenyl (250 x 4.6 mm, 5µm) HPLC column. Purified water as a diluent and phosphoric acid buffer pH 2.5 was used as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. The column temperature was maintained at 40°C. Both the molecules being non-chromophoric in nature, refractive index (RI) detector was used for detection. The proposed method being environment friendly does not require organic solvents, gradient elution and complex derivatization unlike the reported methods. The developed method is successfully validated as per ICH guidelines. The method is stability indicating, sensitive and economical. Hence, it can be successfully used for the routine analysis of commercial batches of these combination products.

The goals of this article are systematization of craniological database, craniometric characteristics and intragroup analysis of the Yamna culture male sample from the North Pontic region. General North Pontic specimens and samples of three local groups (North-West Pontic, Southern Buh and Lower Dnipro regions) were characterized. Intragroup analysis was held in two steps: 1) using principal component method and 2) using two indexes (cranial and upperfacial). According to the results of intragroup analysis the Yamna population of this territory was heterogeneous. Two craniocomplexes can be seen: 1) relatively broad-faced dolichomesocranial and 2) leptene hyperdolichocranial. The second craniocomplex is most visible in the North-West Pontic region. Both are equally represented in materials from Southern Buh and Lower Dnipro regions. There is also a connection between physical characteristics of the individual and the posture, in which he was buried. In majority of the cases, which form relatively broad-faced dolichomesocranial group, supine position was used for burial. While for those, which form leptene hyperdolichocranial group, the position on the side is more typical. These results support and illustrate well the ideas developed by Ukrainian anthropologist S. I. Kruts about the Yamna population of the region. While the broad-faced dolichomesocranial craniocomplex has broad analogies among the populations of the Yamna cultural circle in the Lower Don and Volga-Ural regions, the narrow-faced hyperdolichocranials are not typical for the eastern Yamna territories. Apparently, the second complex determines the uniqueness of the North Pontic steppe population compared to other groups of the Yamna cultural circle. Its origins will be discussed in the next article, which will cover the issue of intergroup analysis.

The paper is devoted to one of the categories of equipment of a warrior of the 11th century, discovered at the Western Baltic Ostriv burial ground in Porossia (Middle Dnipro region). The red deer antler item has a T-shaped form, the distance between two longitudinal sections is 13.3 cm, and between the upper hole and the solid wall of the object is 11.3 cm. The lateral holes are not symmetrical: the diameter of the larger one is 4.7 cm, the smaller one — 4 cm, and the upper one — 2.8 cm. Two small drilled holes are located near the last one for fixing a stopper made of organic materials, with the subsequent suspension to the belt with a rope. Near the smaller lateral hole was found an iron plate and the remains of the fabric in which it was wrapped. The weight of the artefact is 190 gr. We assume the sample from Ostriv is a container made from antler. The T-shaped form of the item when suspended by small holes on the upper channel provided for the direction of the main load of the contents on the lower solid wall of the object. The fabric-wrapped metal plate provided a much better sidewall overlap density and could withstand more weight pressure than organic material tires. The contents of the container had to meet the needs of a person whose daily life is directly related to certain military activities, possibly far from the place of permanent residence and regardless of weather conditions. The study history, area of distribution, chronology, and interpretation of the functional purpose of this category of objects are considered. From the given analogies, it is obvious that such a thing was not common, maybe even considered prestigious. We believe that the container from Ostriv was used for compact storage of loose organic and mineral substances — salt, spices, medicinal herbs, etc., preventing the ingress of moisture. The issue of the container origin is debatable, as such artefacts are not typical for the South-East Baltic. Therefore, the Baltic warrior could have obtained it in one of the distribution zones of antler containers at the end of the 10th — the beginning of the 12th century: within the settlement of the Western Slavs in the Elbe and Oder rivers in the north of modern Germany; adopted from the Turkic population of the Eastern European steppes; or it should be connected with the workshop discovered in the Voin stronghold in the Middle Dnipro River. We claim the last case to be the most promising.

Published: December 2022

Health service is one of the essential public services offered by the Administration with a very comprehensive and expansive staff, and due to the comprehensive nature of the service provided and the fact that the beneficiaries of the service constitute almost every segment of society, many different appearances of defect that may include the compensation responsibility of the Administration may arise. Therefore, the study is mainly about the service defect and the compensation responsibility of the Administration in providing health services within the scope of the responsibility of the Administration based on service defect. In the study, the concept of the responsibility of the Administration and the concepts of defect liability and strict liability, which are the types of responsibility of the Administration, will be discussed first. All will examine the conditions of the responsibility of the Administration. Then, the concept of service defects and the different appearances of service defects, such as poor service, late service, non-operational service, and severe service defect, will be examined. Finally, the service defects specific to health services, which constitute the main framework of the study, will be discussed in light of the decisions of the Council of State on this issue.

Background and Study Aim. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of 8-week core and plyometric training on body composition and athletic performance in young male soccer players.
Material and Methods. 24 young male soccer players participated in the study voluntarily. The subjects were randomly divided into three separate groups: Core training group (CTG), plyometric training group (PTG) and control group (CG). In addition to soccer training two days a week for 8 weeks, the training was applied to the subjects according to the training programs determined. Physical and performance measurements were made 8 weeks before and after the study. Subject's measurements were analyzed in the SPSS 22 program.
Results. The largest percentage and significant difference in agility, speed, vertical jump and plyometric jump parameters was obtained in PTG, while the largest percentage and significant difference in horizontal jump parameters was obtained in CTG. While no difference was found in speed and agility performance in CTG; there are significant differences in jump performance but these differences are lower than the other experimental groups in terms of percentage difference. On the other hand in body composition, a significant change was observed only in the height parameter in PTG.
Conclusions. If a faster improvement is desired in the determined athletic performance parameters in a period of eight weeks in soccer, it may be recommended to prefer core and plyometric trainings in addition to branch training.
