FETO–MATERNAL OUTCOME IN CASES OF ACCIDENTAL HAEMORRHAGE
Authors: Pawani Charmi , Ghori Pooja , Kukadiya Snehal
Published: May 2020

Background: Accidental haemorrhage is a grave obstetrical emergency that refers to bleeding at the decidual-placental interface which causes placental detachment over 28 weeks of gestation age and prior to delivery of the fetus. WHO reported 2.1% maternal mortality rates due to Abruptio placenta, and the fetal perinatal mortality rate was 15% while its incidence was 0.65%. Abruption may be “revealed,” in which case blood tracks between the membranes and the decidua, and escapes through the cervix into the vagina. The less common “concealed” abruption occurs when blood accumulates behind the placenta, with no obvious external bleeding.

Aim: The study aimed to understand the incidence and predictors of adverse outcomes of Accidental hemorrhage in our setting and Knowledge from this study will help in determining the outcomes and designing management strategies improving Fetal maternal outcomes.

Methods: It was an observational prospective hospital-based study design with a follow-up component. All pregnant women diagnosed to have abruption placenta from 28 weeks of gestation and above; all babies delivered by mothers with abruptio placenta.

Result: The majority of cases 86(86%) belonged to the reproductive age group of 21-30 years. 60(60%) cases were multipara within 2-4 range of parity and 5 (5%) patients were grand multiparous. Thus the present study would tend to support multiparity as a risk factor. In the present study, higher frequency of unbooked cases 62 (62%) was seen as they were referrals, most of them had no antenatal checkups and only presented in hospital as obstetric emergencies. Majority of the cases came with complaint of bleeding per vaginum, as blood escapes out the cervix after travelling between membranes. 78% of the neonates were born alive. 70% of the patients had an APGAR score ranging from 5-10. The neonatal weights ranged from 1.0 -4.0 kg, the distribution pattern shows 48 (48%) neonates in the range 1500-2499 gms, 14 (14%) neonates in the range 1000-1499 gms and 38 (38%) neonates in the range 2500-3999 gms.

Conclusion: In light of the current study, it was found that the incidence of Accidental haemorrhage was 0.4%. The study also identified that 60% of the cases were multigravida having parity from 2-4. Furthermore, the study found that 22% of cases were stillbirth; there was 8 neonatal death contributing to increased perinatal mortality of 30%.

Published: May 2020

Study was conducted on 60 patients of both sexes taken for various surgical procedures taking from 30 to 90 minutes at Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior.

We found that none of the children in the 0.75 mg/kg dose group cried compared with 4 children (20%) in the c group and one child (5%) in the 0. 5 mg/kg dose group. The percentage of children who appeared uncomfortable (study recorded that they were crying or complaining) were the highest in the control dose group (45%).  Only 25% of the children in the 0.5 mg/kg dose group and 10% of the children in the 0.75 mg/kg dose group appeared uncomfortable.  Thus more children were comfortable (study recorded they were sleepy or quite but awake) in the 0.75 mg/kg dose group (90%) compared with the 0. 5 mg/kg dose group (75%) and the control group (55%). This difference was statistically significant between the control group and the group that received the 0.75mg/kg dose.

The number of children who had desirable sedation was similar in the 0.75 mg/kg dose groups. Induction of general anaesthesia was poor for 25% the children in the group that received the 0.5 mg/kg dose.

Keywords: Efficacy, Midazolam, Sedation & Anaesthesia.

Intensitas Cahaya dan Efisiensi Fotosintesis pada Tanaman Naungan dan Tanaman Terpapar Cahaya Langsung
Authors: Yustiningsih Maria
Published: May 2020

Plant growth and productivity influenced by light. Sunlight activates light-dependent reactions or LDR and Calvin cycle or LIR in plant. Different light intensity induce change of LDR and LIR. Adaptation through efficiency of photon absorption, regulation of photosystem II - photosystem I, and carbon fixation can make photosynthesis efficiently. This paper aims to review research on photosynthesis mechanism in sun and shade plants. Alteration of light absorption in plants produce morphological and physiological adaptations. Plant adaptation mechanism use sieve effect, light channeling, and acclimatization. Distribution of chlorophyll in both types of plants changed the photosynthesis photon flux density. Propagation and distribution of light needed through vacuoles to minimize the distance on electron transport chain. Physiological acclimatization accelerates by changing the composition of chlorophyll and PSII / PSI ratio. Shade plants have a high ratio PS II / PSI and high ratio chlorophyll a / b to increase the light-harvesting complex and make photosynthesis efficiently.

FEATURES OF THE FORMATION OF THE ARTISTIC IMAGE OF THE MODEL AND SYMBOL IN ART
Authors: Yeroshkina Y. , Ivanov A.
Published: May 2020

In the article an image, his structure and value, is investigated in an art. The role of model and symbol is considered as the special form of reflection of reality. By a comparative analysis essence of image, model and symbol is educed. Problem aspects are considered, features rational and emotional, general and single in an image.
Certain character in an art, that Simultaneously is image as method, method of reflection, is educed, there is both material and ideal.
An image is, concept that determines the most wide phenomenon in an art, namely ‒ a method, method of reflection, that marks off art from science, philosophy, politics, religion. And a model and symbol (in a that relation, that them we examine) are component parts, elements of image.
. It is educed that a model and character are not identical foremost on maintenance. A table of contents of model is within the framework of material structure there is an incarnate model in that; table of contents of character in more than to the measure maintenance of model, depends on a subject that perceives this character through that or other certain materialization. Character carries the more semantic loading, model ‒ more text.
It is well-proven that the analysis of gnosiological function of image, on abolition of him from a concept, presentation, character in science, does not give to possibility to the end to expose essence of this function of artistic character. And the analysis of model and symbol as component parts of image allows to do it more detailed. It is well-proven: a model and symbol in an art differentiate after means, degree and character of aesthetic influence and after force of the emotional state in that enters that or other work of art.

PATTERNS OF URBAN TRANSPORT FLOWS GENERATION
Authors: Chumachenko I. , Galkin A. , Davidich N. , Kush Y. , Litomin I.
Published: May 2020

The article is devoted to explaining the issue of exploring the patterns of formation of urban traffic flows in case of the development of urban transport systems projects. Existing methods for predicting traffic flow parameters are developed for all drivers of vehicles, regardless of their individual characteristics, and contain only travel time as a parameter. It is proposed to use the route run, travel time, traffic intensity as the possible criteria, the route runs along the main roads, the condition of the road surface, the number of traffic lights on the route, and fatigue when driving. Based on the results of a questionnaire survey of drivers of individual vehicles, the significance of the criteria for choosing a route of movement for drivers with various types of nervous systems is assessed. The most significant criterion was set up when choosing a route for travel is the “condition of the road surface”. The second most important criterion is “run along the route”. The third criterion was “travel time”. The criterion “traffic intensity” has become even less significant for drivers. The next most important criterion was “the route take place over the main roads”. Even less significant was the criterion “quantity of traffic lights on the route”. The criterion “fatigue during movement” became the least significant. To assess the consistency of expert opinions, a concordance coefficient was used. The values of the concordance coefficient showed that there is a consistency of expert opinions both for the total population of drivers and for their groups, divided on the basis of “temperament”. It was found that when choosing a travel route, drivers are guided by numerous criteria. Moreover, the advantage or disadvantage of one or another criterion depends on its individual characteristics, which are determined by the properties of the central nervous system.

ON DETERMINING THE COAL CARBONIZATION INDICATOR FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF MINE FIRE HAZARD GROUPS
Authors: Antoshchenko М. , Tarasov V. , Zakharova О. , Petrov A. , Zakharova A.
Published: May 2020

The article analyzes the dependence of endogenous fire hazards on the following factors: the degree of coalification, the total sulfur content, the thickness of the developed formations and their structure, the presence of tectonic disturbances. By the genetic propensity of coals to spontaneous combustion, three groups of coal sites are distinguished: І – Vdaf ≥ 41%, Сп ≤ 7, coals of marks D and partially G; ІІ – Vdaf = 40-30%, Сп ≤ 8, coals of marks D and partially F; ІІІ – Vdaf < 36%, Сп >8, coals of marks Zh, K, OS, T. Studies have shown that individual dependences of the decrease in the content of each component (Оo, Нo, No) significantly differ from each other. Decrease in oxygen content, as well as the sum of the main components, occurs with an increase in carbon content. The sum of the content of the main components decreases inversely to the increase in carbon content over the entire range of coal conversion from a small degree of their metamorphism (Со ≈ 70%) to anthracites (Со ≈ 98%). The dependence of decrease in oxygen content with increased carbon is nonlinear. With carbon content of more than 88%, there is a slight decrease in the rate of oxygen reduction in comparison to its decrease at earlier stages of metamorphism. Data analysis showed an almost functional dependence between the sum of the main components of the organic mass (0.995). A significant correlation of carbon with oxygen and hydrogen is observed. A significant scatter of points in experimental data is due to the diversity of composition of the source material, the conditions of its accumulation and transformation for different coal basins and individual coal sites. Studies have shown that the relationships between all the main components of the organic mass of coal during metamorphic transformations change significantly at different stages of these processes. The established dependence of the carbonization index on the carbon content at different stages of coalification allowed us to develop an engineering method for calculating the carbonization index for the entire range of coal metamorphism. The proposed method significantly clarifies the determination of the carbonization index, which is necessary not only for establishing the fire hazard of mine layers, but also for establishing other manifestations of the dangerous properties of coal sites during mining operations.
Keywords: carbonization index, endogenous fire hazard, elemental composition, organic mass, metamorphism, coalification.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT AFFECTED BY FOREST FIRE UNDER COMPLEX RADIATION CONDITIONS OF FIREFIGHTING
Authors: Azarov S. , Shevchenko R. , Shcherbak S.
Published: May 2020

The paper deals with the problem of formation of general procedures for experimental study of environmental impact due to forest fire in complex radiation conditions of fire load formation and its further testing on the example of the ChNPP exclusion zone. The study carried out an experimental verification of the adequacy of the previously proposed methodological apparatus and identified the main directions of its further use as a basis for solving the problems of predicting the negative environmental impact on the environment.
To this end, the following tasks have been solved:the general procedures of the methodology of experimental study of environmental impact due to forest fire in complex radiation conditions of fire load formation are formulated; a comprehensive experimental study was carried out using the developed method on the example of the fire load of the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
Conducted studies in the field indicate that the content of radioactive smoke in the ground atmosphere of the Exclusion Zone can be dramatically increased by several orders of magnitude due to forest fires. Short-term (sever-al days) increased content of radioactive combustion products in the surface air can reach the level of radiation hazard for both the environment and directly for the life of the population living in a clean area at considerable distances (up to 30 km along the track axis) wildfire. The fires in the forests contaminated with Chornobyl radionuclide in the western trace due to the loss of TUE are of particular environmental danger, since the presence of plutonium combustion products in radioactive products results in significant dose loads for the environment and the population.
The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of their application for carrying out complex ecological audit of the territory, which is subject to secondary radiation influence both inside and outside the exclusion zone of the Chornobyl NPP.
Keywords: ecological safety, forest fire, radiation exposure, complex fire load
EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE OF MODERN REGIONAL POLICY: A MESOECONOMIC APPROACH AND THE PROSPECTS OF UKRAINE
Authors: Ostrovskyi I. , Mozhaikina N.
Published: May 2020

The European experience of regional development policy is based on three basic principles: systematic, institutional, complementary. Moving away from the dichotomous position of "donor or outsider", "centralization or decentralization" to a broader platform "community-state" allows us to form a kind of theoretical starting position on the development and implementation of a set of state reforms at which a higher level of socio-economic development can be achieved.
The methodological basis for studying institutional complementarity for regional development analysis may be the use of mesoeconomic analysis. It is the mesoeconomic level that can be seen as an opportunity to pass between two methodological extremes: individualism and holism.
The current problems of regional development of Ukraine are caused by considerable micro- and macroeconomic constraints. The main constraints are demographic negatives, de-industrialization, high consumption of production resources, in particular, low energy efficiency, and an increased burden on debt. The most destabilizing role is played by military events in the East.
The experience of combining centralization and decentralization eliminates the dichotomy and emphasizes the contradictory unity of both processes. The priority of regional policy must be to develop the scientific, technological and innovative potential of the regions. The process of dissemination of innovation must go from centralized to regional. It is important to combine state support funds with their own resources and direct them to implement regional and local development strategies, support the implementation of innovations, the development of new production, small and medium-sized businesses.
An example of using a mesoeconomic approach as a theoretical compromise on centralization and decentralization is the training of higher education professionals.
Reform of the emergency medical care system should also be based on the complementarity of old and new forms of organization, especially in remote areas.
We consider it appropriate to use the European experience of mesoeconomic approaches to confirm the possibility of complementary development of the regions of Ukraine.
Keywords: regional policy, institutional complementarity, mesoeconomics, non-uniformity, decentralization
ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS OF INTENSIFICATION OF LABOR ACTIVITY OF SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL PERSONNEL OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Dybach I.
Published: May 2020

In the conditions of development of the domestic market of educational services an important task of university leaders is to study the factors of motivation of the activity of scientific and pedagogical staff. Therefore, the purpose of the article was to analyse the factors that influence the work processes of operators of the market of educational services, and to study the motivational components of the effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical composition of higher education institutions. Structural and functional analysis was used; survey and observation methods; factor analysis; time studies; economic modelling, statistical methods and correlation analysis. Personnel vision of the motivational aspects of the activity is crucial, because it is education workers who directly carry out their work in higher education, who are best aware of the latent elements of departments and other structural units. Therefore, according to the results of the questionnaire developed by the author and the discovery of «Statistica» statistical analysis package, the factors that most stimulate work efficiency were worked out: 1) the nature of the works that make up the content of the work; 2) staff qualification and ability to use professional competencies in the work process; 3) the level of ownership and use of computer equipment by specific employees; 4) work experience of employees; 5) individual work intensity; 6) the level of mental activity of the staff. The method of estimation of degree of influence of factors of intensification of work activity of scientific and pedagogical workers is offered. It has been proved that the number of times of personnel training is not a factor in influencing the efficiency of their work. While the qualifications and quality of the work performed are significant parameters. There is a close inverse relationship between the duration of professional functions and the level of mental activity. According to the results of the research it is possible to improve the system of motivation of scientific and pedagogical workers.
Keywords: institutions of higher education, scientific and pedagogical staff, factors of work efficiency, motivational elements.
MONEY TRANSFERS OF THE RESIDENTS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO DIRECT FOREIGN INVESTMENT
Authors: Fedotova Y. , Naumov М.
Published: May 2020

The article deals with the lack of financial resources in the domestic market and the prospects for the recovery of the national economy linked to external factors. The volume of foreign direct investment in Ukrainian economy in 2018 was 60 % of the pre-crisis level. To attract foreign investment, it is necessary to create a favorable investment climate and increase the competitiveness of the national economy.
The success activities in attracting investments can be assessed using next ratings: raising the country by one point can lead to an increase in foreign direct investment by $ 250-500 million next year. Ukraine has climbed five steps in the Doing Business 2019 ranking, but the volume of foreign direct investments has not changed significantly. In addition, more than half of the investments that are classified as foreign come from countries that are attractive for favorable taxation, that is, probably has a Ukrainian origin, so-called "round-tripping". Thus, the steps taken do not solve the issue of attracting foreign investment, which requires finding alternative ways to attract funds from abroad. One of them is the transfer of migrant workers home. Such transfers are received exclusively in a freely convertible currency, do not result in a requirement to return the funds received in the future, are evenly distributed across the country's regions and are characterized by a low concentration.
Over the past five years, transfers of migrant workers to their homes have exceeded foreign direct investment in Ukraine every year. They also exceeded the losses of the country's economy from the reduction in the number of workers. At the same time, the experience of the leading countries shows, that in the long term, sustainable economic growth is possible only with a stable increase in the number of workers. Accordingly, the labor migration of Ukrainians abroad should be compensated by immigration flows from less developed countries. Otherwise, the lag between the Ukrainian economy and the world's leading countries will be maintained or even increased, primarily due to the inability to ensure high GDP growth rates. Reducing the negative consequences of labor migration requires the development of an effective migration policy.
Keywords: economic growth, investment climate, foreign direct investment, labor migration.

Internet dan teknologi web telah menyediakan sarana yang dapat diandalkan untuk berbagi data dan aplikasi. Namun, latensi pemuatan data masih menjadi kendala. Dalam beberapa literatur, metode cache terbukti meningkatkan waktu penyajian halaman web dengan mengurangi proses permintaan pada database. Namun, metode ini tidak mencegah web mengakses server untuk mengambil data cache dalam database, latensi dalam memuat data masih terjadi. Makalah ini menyajikan metode prefetch dengan mengubah data menjadi file data yang diformat JSON sebagai cache, data diperoleh dengan mudah tanpa harus melakukan proses permintaan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi web menjadi lebih responsif dalam menyajikan data.

Published: May 2020

Kualitas jaringan Long Term Evolution (LTE) di Kota Tangerang Selatan masih kurang optimal, berdasarkan data hasil drive test nilai rata-rata RSRP dan SINR termasuk dalam kategori buruk. Hal tersebut dikarenakan jumlah site yang masih kurang, serta gedung-gedung yang menghalangi site. Perlu dilakukan perencanaan ulang untuk meningkatkan kinerja jaringan LTE di Kota Tangerang Selatan dengan melakukan perhitungan estimasi jumlah penduduk serta pengguna seluler pada tahun 2024, untuk mengetahui jumlah site yang dibutuhkan yang mencakup seluruh area di Kota Tangerang Selatan. Nilai total loss yang disebabkan oleh gedungâ€“gedung di wilayah Kota Tangerang Selatan juga diperhitungkan, dengan menggunakan perbandingan model propagasi COST 231 dan Lee, sehingga didapatkan prediksi cakupan site serta jumlah site yang dapat mencakup keseluruhan area. Hasil yang didapatkan dari perencanaan jaringan 4G LTE di Kota Tangerang Selatan pada eNodeB berdasarkan kapasitas dari nilai parameter RSRP dan SINR termasuk dalam kategori sangat baik. Sedangkan berdasarkan coverage menggunakan model propagasi COST 231 dan Lee, didapatkan model propagasi Lee yang sesuai dengan parameter serta mencakup area lebih luas dibandingkan model propagasi COST 231. Dari keseluruhan hasil simulasi untuk nilai RSRP dan SINR sudah sesuai dengan standar KPI, yaitu nilai RSRP > -80dBm dan nilai SINR > 5dB.
Peningkatan Kecepatan Algoritma k-NN Untuk Sistem Pengklasifikasian Kendaraan Bermotor

Published: May 2020

K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) merupakan algoritma mesin pembelajaran yang memiliki akurasi yang baik meski sangat sederhana untuk diimplementasikan. Namun, salah satu kelemahan algorima KNN adalah kecepatan komputasi yang sangat tergantung pada jumlah dataset yang dimiliki. Penelitian ini mencoba mengusulkan sebuah strategi untuk meningkatkan kecepatan algoritma KNN tetapi dengan akurasi yang hampir sama dengan standard KNN. Jika pada standar KNN proses hanya dilakukan dengan menyimpan data latih, yang kemudian akan dibandingkan dengan data uji baru dengan cara menghitung jarak satu persatu, sementara strategi yang diusulkan mencoba mengurangi jumlah data latih dengan strategi clustering, sehingga jumlah data yang akan dibandingkan dengan data uji lebih sedikit. Akibatnya, diharapkan waktu prosesnya menjasi lebih cepat. Strategi yang diusulkan akan diterapkan pada kasus klasifikasi jenis kendaraan berbasis pengolahan citra digital. Untuk menghitung tingkat akurasi dan kecepatan, maka metode yang diusulkan akan dievaluasi menggunakan dataset yang dikumpulkan melalui internet.
Cyprian in Thomas More's Writings
Authors: Olivares Merino Eugenio M.
Published: May 2020

The presence and relevance of St. Cyprian and his writings in Thomas More's works has only been partially discussed in the available literature. In the present paper I intend to contextualize More's interest for St. Cyprian within the general appreciation that other humanists showed for the Fathers of the Church, and this African Bishop in particular. Thus a close review of More's references to St. Cyprian in his writings is here presented, organized in three blocks: the so-called “humanist letters,” his controversial works—with the exception of The Confutation of Tyndale's Answer (1532–1533)—and the Tower works. In the conclusion I will provide a tentative categorization of the uses More made of this Father of the Church.

The anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-inflammatory effects exerted by Aloe on monogastric mammals suggest it as a potential strategy to address the tremendous metabolic alterations that affect dairy cows during their transition to calving. A group of 20 multiparous Italian Holstein dairy cows were housed in freestalls and allocated into two homogeneous groups to receive either 200 g/d of water (CTR) or 200 g/day of Aloe arborescens Mill. whole plant homogenate through a rumen tube (AAM) between −14 and 14 days from calving (DFC). From −14 to 35 DFC, the BCS, and milk yield were measured, and blood samples were collected to assess the hematochemical profile. Data underwent ANOVA testing using a mixed model for repeated measurements, including the treatment and time and their interactions as fixed effects. Compared to CTR cows, AAM cows had a less pronounced BCS loss in early lactation (p < 0.01), indicating less mobilization of body reserves. Compared to CTR cows, AAM cows had a lower plasma concentration of nonesterified fatty acids and beta hydroxybutyrate (p < 0.01 and = 0.01 respectively) that, paired with the lower butterfat content and fat/protein ratio in their milk (p = 0.03 and < 0.01 respectively), indicates that Aloe reduced the mobilization of body fats. AAM cows had a reduced concentration of myeloperoxidase in plasma and a lower SCC in milk compared to CTR cows (p = 0.02 for both), indicating an anti-inflammatory effect of Aloe. Furthermore, AAM cows had a lower plasma concentration of ceruloplasmin (p < 0.05) and higher plasma concentration of cholesterol, retinol, and paraoxonase compared to CTR cows (p < 0.01, < 0.01 and < 0.05 respectively), indicating Aloe was effective in mitigating the acute phase response in early lactation. Finally, AAM cows had lower plasma creatinine concentrations around calving (p < 0.05), a lower concentration of plasma bilirubin, and a higher concentration of plasma tocopherol compared to CTR cows (p = 0.01 for both). These data suggest Aloe has anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-inflammatory effects on transition dairy cows that could have ameliorated liver and kidney function disruption and increased the availability of body antioxidants in early lactation.

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has today multiplied globally and various governments are attempting to stop the outbreak of the disease escalation into a worldwide health crisis. At this juncture, readiness, candor, clarity, and partaking of data are of paramount importance to speed up factual evaluation and starting pattern control activities, including serendipitous findings. Owing to the involvement of COVID-19, many facts regarding virulence, pathogenesis, and the real viral infection source and/or transmission mode still need to be addressed. The infected patients often present clinical symptoms with fever, dyspnea, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, and dry cough, as well as pulmonary, infiltrates on imaging. Extensive measures to decrease person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 are being implemented to prevent, recognize, and control the current outbreak as it is very similar to SARS-CoV in its clinical spectrum, epidemiology, and pathogenicity. In response to this fatal disease and disruptive outbreak, it is extremely vital to expedite the drug development process to treat the disease and vaccines for the prevention of COVID-19 that would help us defeat this pandemic expeditiously. This paper sums up and unifies the study of virological aspects, disease transmission, clinically administered techniques, therapeutics options, managements, future directions, designing of vaccines, and news dissemination pertaining to COVID-19.
Design of Railway Track Model with Three-Dimensional Alignment Based on Extended Industry Foundation Classes

Published: May 2020

Building information modeling (BIM) has been widely applied in conjunction with the industry foundation class (IFC) for buildings and infrastructure such as railways. However, a limitation of the BIM technology presents limitations that make designing the three-dimensional (3D) alignment-based information models difficult. Thus, the time and effort required to create a railway track model are increased, while the reliability of the model is reduced. In this study, we propose a methodology for developing an alignment-based independent railway track model and extended IFC models containing railway alignment information. The developed algorithm using BIM software tools allows for a discontinuous structure to be designed. The 3D alignment information connects different BIM software tools, and the classification system and IFC schema for expressing railway tracks are extended. Moreover, the classification system is fundamental for assigning IFC entities to railway components. Spatial and hierarchical entities were created through a developed user interface. The proposed methodology was implemented in an actual railway track test. The possibility of managing IFC-based railway track information, including its 3D alignment information, was confirmed. The proposed methodology can reduce the modeling time and can be extended to other alignment-based structures, such as roads.

The early and accurate diagnosis of skin cancer is crucial for providing patients with advanced treatment by focusing medical personnel on specific parts of the skin. Networks based on encoder–decoder architectures have been effectively implemented for numerous computer-vision applications. U-Net, one of CNN architectures based on the encoder–decoder network, has achieved successful performance for skin-lesion segmentation. However, this network has several drawbacks caused by its upsampling method and activation function. In this paper, a fully convolutional network and its architecture are proposed with a modified U-Net, in which a bilinear interpolation method is used for upsampling with a block of convolution layers followed by parametric rectified linear-unit non-linearity. To avoid overfitting, a dropout is applied after each convolution block. The results demonstrate that our recommended technique achieves state-of-the-art performance for skin-lesion segmentation with 94% pixel accuracy and a 88% dice coefficient, respectively.
