Blind individuals now utilise a conventional cane to guide them as they go from one location to another. Even though the standard cane is the most widely used aid for the blind today, it is unable to assist them in identifying hazards from various degrees of obstruction. Within this framework, we suggest a novel intelligent system to assist those who are blind or partially sighted. Through the usage of this device, blind persons may walk around with the same confidence and ease as sighted people. The system is connected to a GSM- GPS module in order to pinpoint the blind person's position and create a wireless two-way communication channel. Additionally, it uses ultrasonic sensors to offer direction information and obstacle avoidance information. The system is further enhanced with a vibrator, an accelerometer sensor, and a beeper. The white cane is utilised in conjunction with the compact and lightweight system. The outcomes demonstrated that the blinds utilising this method could move securely and autonomously.

Authors: Rodrigues G. , Da Silva J. G. , Santurio D. S. , A. Mancera P. F.
Published: May 2024

Melanoma is considered one of the most aggressive types of cancer due to its high propensy for metastasis, which significantly reduces survival chances when detected late. Moreover, melanoma exhibits strong immunogenic characteristics, complicating its treatment, increasing the need to develop more effective techniques of therapy. In the field of oncology, mathematical modeling enables the analysis and distinction of the various mechanisms involved in tumor progression. This allows the analysis of numer-ous scenarios, which would be impractical experimentally. The main objective of this study is to develop a mathematical model that describes melanoma dynamics in the presence of Tumor-Associated Macrophages (TAM) and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy. The goal is to assess why this therapy often falls short in erradicating solid tumors like melanoma and to understand the role of TAM in this failure. This research encompasses stability analysis of the equilibrium points of the model, sensitivity analysis of its parameters, and the examination of numerical solutions. Our results showed that immunosuppression caused by TAM has a negative impact on the effectiveness of the dose and varying the cytotoxicity of CART-cells together with dose. Adjusting CAR T-cell cytotoxicity and treatment dosage may enhance tumor control, with the initial tumor burden playing a crucial role in treatment effectiveness.

Authors: Qazi Farheen , Agha Dur-e-Shawar , Naseem Muhammad , Badar Shahnila , Khan Fozia Hanif
Published: May 2024

In the realm of real-time and multitasking environments, the Round Robin (RR) CPU scheduling algorithm is extensively utilized. Renowned for its fairness and avoidance of process starvation, RR allocates a specific time quantum to each process. However, the frequent context switching between processes during CPU scheduling, owing to the short time quantum, can adversely impact system performance by increasing average waiting time and response waiting time. To address these concerns, this paper introduces "Improving Round Robin Scheduling Using Dynamic Time Quantum (IRRDQ)," a modified version of RR aimed at diminishing turnaround time, average waiting time, and context switching. In our proposed approach, we arrange all incoming processes based on minimum burst time and dynamically assign an optimal time quantum to each process using the Shortest Job First (SJF) algorithm. The computation of time quantum is tailored to the burst times of individual processes. Through experimental demonstrations, we showcase the significant performance improvement of our algorithm compared to RR and other existing algorithms.

Mimetic Teaching Strategy in Design Education: Relationship Between Students Learning Style and Creativity
Authors: Aybek Özdemir Dilek , Akalın Aysu
Published: May 2024

This research explores the connection between changes in students' learning styles and the components of creativity in a design studio setting that utilizes mimetic teaching strategies. The study assumes that the change in learning styles is related to the level of creativity exhibited in the design process and final product. The theoretical framework of this study, which focuses on the learning strategy of 13 students taking the second-year architectural design project course in the architecture department throughout the semester, is formed by Rhodes' 4Ps (Person, Press, Process, and Product). Accordingly, the skill of reasoning (person) by Sloman and Pahl & Beitz (associative-variant / hybrid-adaptable / metaphorical-original); resource utilization in the design process (press) by Casakin, Akalın and Özkan & Akalın (within domains –hybrid- between domains); design process (process) by Rittel (linear/non-linear) and the created product (product) by Gentner and Markman and Welling (application-analogy-combination-abstraction) were analyzed based on the theoretical framework. The study found that students who experienced different learning styles throughout the semester utilized a non-linear design process to reach the original design, using metaphorical reasoning. On the other hand, students who used associative reasoning with a linear process struggled to analyze abstract and undefined design problems, resulting in variations of already solved designs. To overcome this, learners should be guided to find examples that promote metaphorical reasoning, activate their connection to the context, and encourage alternative thinking. Encouraging the use of metaphorical reasoning as a tool for creative restructuring and reinterpretation facilitates the development of original and adaptable designs.

Published: May 2024

This study explores the neurophysiological impact of visual qualities in Shanghai’s chosen urban spaces, specifically focusing on the perception of street’s visual quality. This metric has been defined by changes in physical space of intersection vs. in street, visibility of the sky, continuity of the wall, and ratio of sections. These variables contribute to the “enclosure rating”, a dimensionless number that can determine the perception of urban street intersectional space by occupants. We measured the changes in average heart rate of 15 participants at the selected intersections using a customized wearable sensor kit. We compared the participants’ heart rate towards the intersectional space and towards street and ask participants to complete a comfort-related post-evaluation. Analysis of the data show that subjects who look at enclosed views of streets experienced a lower heart rate than those who look at intersections.

Energy auditing is an essential step in optimizing energy use in commercial buildings. This research explores the application of energy auditing with the Energy Consumption Intensity method to improve energy efficiency in campus buildings. Considering the changes in occupancy and activity patterns in the university environment can provide a comprehensive insight into the associated energy consumption patterns. The audit analyzed the building's energy consumption and identified potential energy savings to improve energy efficiency. Energy data was collected and analyzed to evaluate the building's energy performance. Recommended energy conservation measures include updating the lighting system, optimizing the cooling system, and improving the efficiency of equipment use. This research recommends that campus building managers adopt sustainable practices in energy management, which can lead to reduced operational costs and lower environmental impacts. Thus, the energy audit approach with the IKE method is a relevant and effective strategy for achieving energy conservation goals in the university environment. Based on the analysis, the latest IKE for Labtek V is 38.01 (2021), while the IKE for Labtek VI is 16.75 (2021), showing inefficiency of energy use in both buildings inefficient.

Research on the Symbolic Meaning of White Cranes — A Case Study of Fly with the Crane
Authors: Shu Qiao
Published: May 2024

Fly with the Crane is a feature film directed by Chinese filmmaker Li Ruijun in 2012, adapted from the short story of the same name by Su Tong. Set against a family backdrop, the film explores the emotional conflicts and collisions of life philosophies between the elderly and their family members when facing life and death decisions. Cranes play a significant symbolic role in the film, reflecting the characters’ inner emotions and their different understandings of life, death, and destiny. From the crane pattern on the coffin to the real white cranes in the film, and to the crane in the heart of the protagonist, five types of white cranes present different layers of symbolic meanings, enriching the depth and connotation of the film. At the same time, the film also reflects the current reality of scarce land resources, conflicts in resource allocation, and changes in people’s consciousness, indicating that the “crane culture” may gradually disappear.
