Pendampingan Kepada Masyarakat Mengenai Kesehatan Hewan Kurban Pada Pelaksanaan Pemotongan Sapi Kurban Idul Adha Tahun 2022 di Kelurahan Gunung Sari Kecamatan Rappocini Makasar
Authors: Adriani Adriani , Asqia Nurul
Published: May 2023

Penyakit kuku dan mulut (PKM) yang menyerang hewan ternak kembali marak di Indonesia menjelang hari raya Idul Adha tahun 2022. Dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh PKM yaitu gagalnya penyembelihan hewan kurban karena tidak memenuhi standar/syariat dan kerugian pada peternak. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan pendampingan kepada masyarakat mengenai kesehatan hewan kurban sebelum proses penyembelihan. Metode yang digunakan meliputi sosialisasi tentang ciri PKM pada hewan ternak dan pengecekan langsung pada hewan kurban (sapi). Hasil pengecekan menunjukkan bahwa sapi kurban bebas dari PKM berdasarkan pengamatan aktivitas, pemeriksaan lesi pada mulut dan kuku. Dengan demikian, sapi-sapi tersebut layak untuk dikurbankan. Melalui kegiatan ini masyarakat diharapkan mudah mengenali  ciri hewan yang terpapar PKM dan lebih waspada terhadap PKM.

Published: May 2023

Dusun Sri Pengantin merupakan dusun dengan julukan “Kampung Bambu” oleh Pemerintah Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Julukan itu diberikan dikarenakan keberlimpahan tumbuhan bambu didusun tersebut. Selain kehidupannya, ekonomi didusun ini juga masih jauh cukup rendah dengan mata pencaharian hanya mengandalkan kebun kopi. Padahal, dengan banyaknya bambu hendaknya dapat menambah pendapatan ekonomi masyarakat didusun tersebut. Permasalahan dalam mengolah bambu menjadi produk bernilai jual ini disebabkan oleh minimnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat didusun tersebut. Adapun produk yang dapat dihasilkan dari bambu adalah pupuk organik. Pengolahan ini berdasarkan pertimbangan kebermanfaatannya bagi kehidupan, seperti membantu dalam perkebunan kopi yang memang menjadi mata pencaharian utama masyarakat di dusun Sri Pengantin, ramah lingkungan, dan umumnya diminati oleh masyarakat. Selain itu, pengolahan bambu menjadi produk yang bernilai jual juga diharapkan dapat membantu program pemerintah untuk menjadikan dusun ini sebagai dusun wisata yang nantinya banyak dikunjungi wisatawan sehingga dapat membuka peluang uasaha, meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat, dan menjadi ciri khas dari dusun Sri Pengantin. Adapun rencana kegiatan yang akan kami lalukan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan metode observasi, sosialisasi, pelatihan dan dilanjutkan praktik langsung pembuatan pupuk organik daun bambu, serta melakukan pendampingan dalam produksi, manajemen usaha, dan cara memasarkan produk pupuk organik daun bambu. Target luaran dalam kegiatan ini adalah: 1) Peningkatan pengetahuan tentang pengolahan pupuk organik daun bamboe; 2) peningkatan keterampilan tentang pengolahan pupuk organik daun bamboe; 3) Publikasi artikel di Jurnal Madani; 4) Publikasi Media Massa di Koran Linggau Pos.

ROLE OF DUPLEX ULTRASONOGRAPHY IN DIAGNOSIS OF PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE IN WESTERN INDIAN POPULATION: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY OF 100 PATIENTS
Authors: Dhandhalya Chetankumar , Bahri Nandini , Patel Rutvik , Joshi Mihir
Published: May 2023

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common vascular condition that affects the lower extremities, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. We studied 100 patients over a period of 9 months to understand the role of duplex ultrasound in peripheral arterial disease and assess the spectrum of vascular disease in western Gujarat population. Duplex ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging modality that plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of PAD. This technique combines two types of ultrasound, B-mode and Doppler, to visualize the arterial anatomy and assess blood ow velocities. Duplex ultrasound provides accurate information about the presence and severity of stenosis or occlusion, as well as the hemodynamic signicance of the disease. It can classify PAD based on various parameters, including the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and pulse wave velocity (PWV). Duplex ultrasound is also useful in monitoring disease progression and treatment response. The technique has several advantages over other imaging modalities, including its non-invasive nature, lower cost, portability, and ability to provide real-time imaging during interventions. However, interpreting duplex ultrasound results requires expertise in vascular anatomy and hemodynamics. Overall, duplex ultrasound is a versatile and valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of PAD

A STUDY ON THE ROLE OF PERSONALITY FACTORS AND AGE IN MUSIC PREFERENCES
Authors: Vaishnavi S. , Kumar G Venkatesh
Published: May 2023

The aim of the study is to understand the relationship between music preference and personality factors. It is often said that "music is universal" and this is a cliché for good reason.Almost every known culture in the world has its own form of music. How we view music and our relationship with it varies from culture to culture and person to person. music brings us together in primal ways and nowhere is this more apparent than the goose bumps we feel when our country's national anthem is played together and everyone sings together. The different qualities of a person's character that make him/her different from other people is our personality.Personality refers to the enduring characteristics and behaviour that compromise a person's unique adjustment to life including major traits, interests, drives, values, self concept, abilities, and emotional patterns. The present study is framed with the objectives such as understanding the relationship between music preference and personality factors and understanding the relationship between music preference and age groups. The following hypotheses are framed: (I) There is no significant relationship between music preference and personality factors (ii) There is no significant relationship between music preference and age groups In the current study personality is measured using MPI (2006).The data is obtained from participants (musicians and non musicians) from Mysore through random sampling technique. The obtained data is processed and is subjected to statistical analysis. The results indicate that there is significant relationship between music preference and personality factors & age groups too

Published: May 2023

In this correlational study, it is hypothesized that Grit and Curiosity are significantly correlated with Job Performance among Indian ITES employees.The three dimensions of job performance—Task Performance,Contextual Performance, and Counterproductive Work Behavior—are further hypothesized to be significantly correlated with grit and curiosity. Three self-report questionnaires are administered to 154 Indian employees of Information-Technology-Enabled Services to determine their levels of grit, curiosity, and job performance in various ITES companies of India. The correlation between grit, curiosity, and job performance is examined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Except for Curiosity and Counterproductive Work Behavior,which indicates no significant correlation with each other, the findings generally support the idea that grit and curiosity are correlated with job performance and its dimensions under study. The correlation between grit, curiosity, and job performance has implications that are discussed in the study

Authors: Patil Kiran , Patil Varsha
Published: May 2023

Rationale: Uterine prolapse is the descent of the uterus and cervix down the vaginal canal toward the introitus. Uterine prolapse in pregnancy is a rare condition but this may be highly risky as it may causes antepartum, intrapartum, and puerperal complication. Estimated incidence of uterine prolapse in pregnancy is about 1 per 10,000–15,000 deliveries It is also known that multiparity and advanced age are major risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse which can rarely complicate pregnancy. Patient concerns: A 30-year-old female , married since 17 years, Gravida:7, Para: 5, Live: 5, Mtp:1with previous all vaginal deliveries with 40 weeks of gestation came to the JJ hospital, Mumbai with complaints of pain in abdomen since 2 hours and uterine prolapse since 2 and half years. On clinical examination Diagnoses: of patient we found that, on per abdominal examination – uterus full term with cephalic presentation of baby with fetal heart rate ranges between 140 to 150 per min. On per speculum examination – grade 3 uterine prolapse with edematous, thick and ulcerated cervix. Due to edematous , thick , ulcerated and prolapsed cervix, decision of cesare Interventions: an delivery was taken . A live female baby of weight 2400 gram was delivered. The prolapsed uterus recovered following the cesarean operation. It seems to be essential to perform cesarean section because of the risk of possible obstructed labor.

HR MUST STUDY PERSONAL ECONOMICS – A BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS APPROACH
Authors: Choudhury Sen Sushmita , K. Mitra D.
Published: May 2023

Organizations in both the public and private sectors are increasingly using behavioural economics techniques to address a range of problems, including mechanism design and incentive architecture. Yet, there hasn't been much attention paid to how behavioural economics' experimental techniques might assist businesses in learning more about their (current or potential) workforce, and particularly about the preferences and tendencies of their employees.This has significant ramifications for overall organisational performance because certain designs or incentives may only influence people who share a certain disposition (such as those who are risk-averse or fairness-oriented),but not others, or they may even have the opposite effect on people who have different sets of preferences.In this post,we highlight a variety of intriguing directions for using a behavioural economics lens to comprehend and control employees. Also, a thorough case study is given.

Which Coefficients Matter Most – Consecutive k-out-of-n:F Systems Revisited –
Authors: Dragoi Vlad-Florin , Beiu Valeriu
Published: May 2023

Consecutive-$k$-out-of-$n$:F systems are probably one of the most studied types of networks when discussing reliability. They have been used from safety-critical environments, such as nuclear power plants or hospital's emergency backup power supplies, to classical transportation problems, such as public water systems and oil/gas pipelines. Exact formulae for the reliability polynomial of a consecutive system are known for quite a long time. Additionally, several alternatives for computing exactly the reliability polynomial are also known. However, when dealing with large consecutive systems, exact calculations become prohibitive and approximations/bounds are the common route. We begin this article by providing an in-depth review of many known bounds. Next, we focus on the coefficients of the reliability polynomial of a consecutive system in its Bernstein form. By deriving shape properties of these coefficients, we are able to identify new bounds. Our approach is uncommon for this case, as none of the previously used bounding techniques has looked closely at each and every coefficient. This is probably the reason why we obtain tight bounds with low complexity costs. Finally, detailed simulations provide strong evidence of the fidelity of the proposed bounds.
Analysis of Faster R-CNN network prediction in the presence of lens occlusion and video compression

Published: May 2023

Recent advances in sensing, electronic, processing, machine learning, and communication technologies are accelerating the development of assisted and automated functions for commercial vehicles. Environmental perception sensor data are processed to generate a correct and complete situational awareness. It is of utmost importance to assess the robustness of the sensor data pipeline, particularly in the case of data degradation in a noisy and variable environment. Sensor data reduction and compression techniques are key for higher levels of driving automation, as there is an expectation that traditional automotive vehicle wired networks will not be able to support the needed sensor datarates (i.e. more than 10 perception sensors, including cameras, LiDARs, and RADARs, generating tens of Gb/s of data). This work proposes for the first time to consider video compression for camera data transmission on vehicle wired networks in the presence of highly noisy data, e.g. partially obstructed camera field of view. The effects are discussed in terms of machine learning vehicle detection accuracy drop, and also visualising how detection performance spatially varies on the frames using the recently introduced metric, the Spatial Recall Index. The presented parametric occlusion noise model is generated to emulate real-world occlusion patterns, whereas compression is based on the well-established AVC/H.264 compression standard. The results demonstrate that the DNN performance are stable when increasing compression despite adding small amounts of noise. However, higher levels of occlusion noise have a higher impact on DNN performance, and when combined with compression, there is a significant decrease in the DNN performance.

Published: May 2023

Depression clinical interview corpora are essential for advancing automated depression diagnosis. While previous studies have used written speech material in controlled settings, these materials do not accurately represent spontaneous conversational speech. Additionally, self-reported measures of depression are subject to bias, making the data unreliable for training models for real-world scenarios. This study introduces a new corpus of depression clinical interviews collected directly from a psychiatric hospital, containing 113 recordings with 52 healthy and 61 depressive patients. The subjects were examined using the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) in Chinese. Their final diagnosis was based on medical evaluations through a clinical interview conducted by a psychiatry specialist. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, and annotated by experienced physicians. This dataset is a valuable resource for automated depression detection research and is expected to advance the field of psychology. Baseline models for detecting and predicting depression presence and level were built, and descriptive statistics of audio and text features were calculated. The decision-making process of the model was also investigated and illustrated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to collect a depression clinical interview corpus in Chinese and train machine learning models to diagnose depression patients.

The aim of this study was to assess the level of contamination using soil organic matter measurement around vehicle repair workshops in Wiiyaakara, Khana, Rivers State, Nigeria. Sampling, preparation, and analysis of surface soils were carried out adhering to standard methods. Stations 1, 2 and 3 had pH of 5.034±0.1, 90±1.09 and 4.890±0.54 respectively. The TOC varied (%) from 2.967–3.916 with a mean value of 3.493±0.39, % TOM had range of 5.115–6.751 with a mean value 6.079±0.69 across the three studied stations. Similarly, % N ranged from 0.149 to 0.196, with a mean value of 0.177±0.02 while % Phosphorus was of mean, 7.098±1.13 but ranged from 5.545 to 8.194. Given that wastes are released into the environment without consideration for potential environmental effects, the wastes produced and disposed of into the environment by auto mechanic repair shops are of major concern. The result showed relatively higher variations in all the study parameters. This is an indication of contamination and should be well monitored to avoid potential pollution. Government should regulate the siting of mechanic workshops especially far from living homes and water bodies

Data breach is a deliberate or desultory denudation of classified materials to proscribed bodies. In the fast- evolving technology era, data has evolved into one of the most core elements of an organization. Data spill causes grim impendence to organizations and tarnishes its solvency. As the volume of data is flowering wantonly and data breaches are happing spasmodically all the more, diagnosing and forestalling data breaches have been one of the most crying invincibility presentiments for organizations. Despite copious exploratory studies on safeguarding sensitive information from being divulged, it remains a dynamic research theme. A clear-sighted methodology for data breaches management is the crying need of the hour and, hence, there should be sincere efforts to manage the problems. Against this backdrop, this paper on the strength of secondary data is a proposition to illuminate the concept of data breaches and their classification. This paper also appraises the gravity of data breaches and the challenges that need to be cogitated in the high-technology epoch.

The integration of the weak grids along with the clean energy that comes from the natural resources requires stable interconnection of Voltage-Source Inverters (VSIs) with weak grids. During severe voltage sags, weak grid integrated VSIs may fail synchronization with the grid.These inverters' transient stability under severe grid disruptions is weak and significantly different from that of synchronous machines. To prevent the side band oscillations in the weak grids, the emerging inverters based on grid-forming are preferred over the grid following inverters in the weak grids. These inverters synchronise with the grid using a power-based synchronisation technique in order to prevent the instability brought on by a typical Phase Locked Loop in weak AC grids. This study presents a comprehensive review of the transient stability improvement of Grid-Forming VSIs.

While many technological solutions have been implemented for accident detection, not many have focused on accident prevention. Accidents have been an everlasting concern as they have caused heavy injuries and death tolls on a large scale. There has been an everlasting increase in the rate of accidents and violation of traffic laws and wrongdoers managing to escape from the legal ramifications of predominantly Hit-and-Run cases. This entails a system to alleviate the occurrence of accidents and deaths caused. Focusing on this, a viable solution that focuses on preventing such circumstances by detecting accident-causing behaviour has been proposed. If accidents take place, it ensures the victim gets their rightful compensation. The research encompasses two modules, Prevention and Recovery. The prevention module uses Deep Learning and Computer Vision to detect whether the driver is drowsy and issues an alert employing CNN. The recovery module focuses on detecting occurrences of accidents and acquiring information about the parties involved in the same. Moreover, the prototype detects drowsiness, and detects and saves the accident footage in real-time enabling information acquisition.

Landing system for MUAV on a mobile base by using short-range radio beacons
Authors:   Maslennikov A.L. Sinke CH. Neusypin K.А. Selezneva M.S.
Published: May 2023

A new approach to constructing a landing system for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAVs) on a moving base is considered. The approach is based on the use of short-range radio beacons located on a movable base. By measuring on the MUAV board the power of the radio signals emitted by each radio beacon, the position of the MUAV relative to the geometric center of the landing platform is determined algorithmically. The algorithmic solution is formed by using the least squares method and the weighted least squares method.

Flood disasters frequently happen in locations with specific geographic characteristics, such as close proximity to rivers and excessive rainfall, especially during the rainy season, making most soil types contain clay and unsuitable for water absorption. One of the Indonesian cities that experiences frequent flooding is Pontianak City. Based on the parameters established in the preceding circumstances, multiple linear regression methods are used to forecast and anticipate the degree of flood risk in Pontianak City. The Quantum GIS application creates a digital map that displays the score attained in each sub-district. This is done to identify the flood-prone locations in Pontianak City and make the mitigation activities more focused and effective.
