Authors: Bhavnani Lata , Patel Dr. Narendra
Published: December 2023

Visual Question Answering (VQA) is an emerging AI research problem that combines computer vision, natural language processing, knowledge representation & reasoning (KR). Given image and question related to the image as input, it requires analysis of visual components of the image, type of question, and common sense or general knowledge to predict the right answer. VQA is useful in different real-time applications like blind person assistance, autonomous driving, solving trivial tasks like spotting empty tables in hotels, parks, or picnic places, etc. Since its introduction in 2014, many researchers have worked and applied different techniques for Visual question answering. Also, different datasets have been introduced. This paper presents an overview of available datasets and evaluation metrices used in the VQA area. Further paper presents different techniques used in the VQA domain. Techniques are categorized based on the mechanism used. Based on the detailed discussion and performance comparison we discuss various challenges in the VQA domain and provide directions for future work.
Dynamic Hand Gesture Recognition for Indian Sign Language using Integrated CNN-LSTM Architecture
Authors: Patel Pradip , Narendra Patel
Published: December 2023

Human Centered Computing is an emerging research field that aims to understand human behavior. Dynamic hand gesture recognition is one of the most recent, challenging and appealing application in this field. We have proposed one vision based system to recognize dynamic hand gestures for Indian Sign Language (ISL) in this paper. The system is built by using a unified architecture formed by combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). In order to hit the shortage of a huge labeled hand gesture dataset, we have created two different CNN by retraining a well known image classification networks GoogLeNet and VGG16 using transfer learning. Frames of gesture videos are transformed into features vectors using these CNNs. As these videos are prearranged series of image frames, LSTM model have been used to join with the fully-connected layer of CNN. We have evaluated the system on three different datasets consisting of color videos with 11, 64 and 8 classes. During experiments it is found that the proposed CNN-LSTM architecture using GoogLeNet is fast and efficient having capability to achieve very high recognition rates of 93.18%, 97.50%, and 96.65% on the three datasets respectively.

Brain abscesses, focal intracerebral collections of pus, present a formidable challenge in medical practice. Often arising from contiguous infections or hematogenous spread, these conditions demand a high index of suspicion due to their diverse and subtle presentations. Advanced neuroimaging, including CT and MRI, plays a pivotal role in swift diagnosis. Antibiotic therapy, tailored to the underlying pathogenesis, forms the cornerstone of treatment. Surgical interventions, such as bur hole aspiration and excision, offer both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. Complications, including ventricular rupture and increased intracranial pressure, necessitate vigilant monitoring. Prognosis, influenced by factors like initial presentation and treatment response, underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach. This abstract encapsulates the intricate landscape of brain abscess management, emphasizing the need for nuanced strategies and continuous refinement of treatment protocols.

Published: December 2023

This study investigated digitalization, culture, and taxpayers' compliance in Nigeria as the literature shows a paucity of studies on the subject. The study was guided by the economic deterrence theory and benefits theory of taxation (BRTT). Descriptive survey research was adopted. The study population comprised of selected staff at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) offices, in Ibadan. three hundred and eighty-four (384) respondents were drawn using the Taro Yamane formula. A selfconstructed questionnaire was administered to the respondents (r=0.821). Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that tax digitization (x=2.98), tax culture (x=2.93), and tax compliance (x=3.05) are good. Results also showed a significant influence of tax digitalization and tax culture on taxpayers’ compliance (F=22.551, p < 0.05). Tax digitization (Beta = .095; t = 1.798) has a positive influence on taxpayer's compliance, while tax culture (Beta = -0.344; t = -6.546), has a negative influence on taxpayer's compliance. The study recommend that the government should consider adopting a tax policy that would facilitate tax digitalization, tax education, sensitization to promote tax culture, and the inclusion of e-transactions taxation in the tax laws.

Multivariate time-series forecasting plays a crucial role in many real-world applications. Recently, multiple works have tried to predict multivariate time series. In this paper, different aspects of electricity consumption within a household-based in Lahore real data have been used to make one-hour-ahead forecasts for overall usage. In this study, various Neural Networks (NNs) such as the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) network are used with varying numbers of hidden layers to make multivariate time series analysis and predictions. This study aims to express a clear and precise method for multivariate time series. The models make predictions based on data sets and are trained on past data. Their performance is evaluated using root mean squared error. Their performance was compared, and results are given for the one-hour-ahead forecasts for electricity consumption using machine learning models. In the dynamic field of forecasting electricity use, the study further investigates the possible integration of real data to improve the prediction capacities of machine learning models using Python software. The results show that the RNN performs better than the other two models for the given data.

Keypoints in Cells and Atherogenesis
Authors:   Nephrology Department, BP - A Beneficência Portuguesa de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil, Martinez Tania Leme da Rocha
Published: December 2023

Endothelial dysfunction is the initial event in the atherogenic process, resulting from several events, such as expression of leukocyte binding sites, production of growth factors, chemotactic and vasoreactive molecules, ability to oxidize low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and respond to oxidized lipoproteins, ability to express procoagulant activity, and modulation of vascular permeability. Thus, the endothelium, when subjected to different conditions and factors, plays an active role in the development of atherosclerotic plaque. The expression of several adhesion molecules, such as intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), P-selectin in atherosclerotic plaques, mediating the interaction between endothelial cells and leukocytes, has been described. The modification of LDLs, in conjunction with other chemotactic factors produced by injured endothelial cells, recruit circulating monocytes into the subendothelial space, where they become macrophages. The proliferation of smooth muscle cells is an important event in the progression of arterial injury, occurring in 3 stages: smooth muscle cell replication still within the media layer; migration from the middle layer to the intima and proliferation within the intima. Apoptotic cells were evidenced in the atherosclerotic lesion, suggesting that apoptosis is part of the normal vascular healing process. The final stage of atherosclerotic lesion development is conversion of the fibrotic lesion to an advanced lesion, a lesion in which a thrombus forms as a result of plaque ulceration or intraplaque hemorrhage.
Felsefi Bir Kavram Olarak Yargı
Authors: DEMİR Ata
Published: December 2023

Yargı, kelime olarak kavrama, karşılaştırma, değerlendirme gibi yollara başvurularak, kişi, durum veya nesnelerin eleştirici bir biçimde değerlendirilmesi, hüküm gibi anlamlara gelir. Felsefi bir kavram olarak yargı, herhangi bir önermenin doğru veya yanlışlığını belirleyen entelektüel bir faaliyetin ürünü olarak iyi, sağlam ve doğru kararlarda bulunma kabiliyeti olarak kabul edilir. İlk Çağ Antik Yunan’da zaman ve mekân üstü, oluşa tabi olmaksızın mutlak hakikat veya doğruluk konusuyla ilgili olarak yargı konusu sofistler, septikler, Sokrates/Platon ve Aristoteles arasında şiddetli tartışmalara neden olmuştur. Yargıların dayanağı Orta Çağ’da “dogmalar” ile belirlenirken, Modern dönemin kurucusu kabul edilen Descartes’te yargı, gözlemlenebilen verilerden yola çıkarak söz konusu veriler arasında bağıntılar kuran bir düşünme faaliyetine tekabül eder. Modern dönemin yargı anlayışında tezahür eden önemli husus, yargıların, her daim bir kip/hal içinde verildiğini hesaba katmak gerektiğidir Yargı kavramı Kant tarafından yeniden ele alınır ve farklı bir form kazandırılır. Kant sonrasında da tartışma konusu olmaya devam eden yargı kavramı, postmodern dönemde herhangi kesin bir yargıya varamama ya da kesin yargılardan kaçınmayı gerektiren, idea, köken ve temsillerden arındırılmış, her bir olaya uygun bir hüküm şeklindeki çoğulcu bir tarzda ele alındığı görülür. Bu çalışmamızda felsefi bir kavram olarak yargı kavramına düşünce tarihi içerisindeki yolculuğunda yüklenilmiş anlamlar ve konuyla ilgili tartışmaları ele alacağız. Giriş kısmında yargı kavramını, yargı kavramına dair Aristoteles’in yaklaşımını ve Orta Çağ’ın dinsel yargı anlayışlarına yer vereceğiz. Modern dönemde Kant’ın yargıya dair yaklaşımı ile postmodernlerin yargı anlayışları asıl konumuzu oluşturacaktır.

The necessity for financial analysis is growing as a result of industrialization, trade, and commerce. Predicting financial difficulties has become a key concern for all firms since the financial crisis happened in 2008. For assessing a company's financial health and the likelihood of insolvency, employ Altman’s Z-score model. Early bankruptcy prediction is vital for both the parties involved in the company and society. Based on their sales in the year 2021-2022, the top five pharmaceutical companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange were chosen as a sample for this study. The period of the study is five years, from 2017-2018 to 2021-2022. For this study, secondary data is employed. The collected data was examined by using Altman's "Z" score model in Microsoft Excel. The results show that the average Z-score for the pharmaceutical sector over the course of the study was greater than 4.5, which is significantly greater than the threshold value of 1.8 and indicates that the sector's overall financial position is satisfactory.

The qualitative study was carried out to investigate the role of Covid-19 on human resources management at Marymount Teachers College. A sample twenty purposively selected participants which comprised senior management, human resources officers and staff members was studied. Data was collected through interviewing and was analysed thematically. The study established that high student enrolments militated against effective service delivery at the college especially during execution of preventive measures like social distancing. The data also shows that college information technology has improved business processes at the institution studied. The institution studied did not provide monetary incentives to lure its workers to report for work during Covid 19 period outside the usual teas and lunches and there were many roadblocks and check points from different locations from which the workers came. The study recommends that colleges need to be capacitated through online or remote working through ICT infrastructure upgrading. There is also need to reduce the staff and student populations to greatly mitigate overcrowding during epidemic periods; collaboration among public health professionals, including infectious disease specialists, epidemiologists, social workers, community health workers, and health experts is crucial.

Published: December 2023

This study was conducted to analyze the conceptual understanding of students and their struggle on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) compounds topic through the implementation of the RADEC Model. Respondents consisted of 37 students from Chemistry Education Department and 33 students from the Chemistry Department at a university in Bandung, Indonesia. This study is an experimental study with a pre-experimental type. Data on conceptual understanding were obtained through pre-tests and post-tests, while data on students’ difficulties were obtained through survey. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24. It was found that there was an increase in the conceptual understanding of the students of Chemistry Education and Chemistry Department in the medium category with n-gain values of 0.33 and 0.38, respectively. The results of inferential analysis through the Wilcoxon Test with Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) were <0.05 for the two groups of students indicating differences in the pre-test and post-test results with a higher average post-test score. Friedel-Crafts acylation is a concept that is difficult to understand by students from the Chemistry Education Department and the Chemistry Department with the same percentage of 33%. Chemistry Department students also have difficulty understanding the electrophilic substitution concept with a percentage of 33%. As a practical implication, this study successfully showed the effective implementation of the RADEC model, serving as an innovative and beneficial learning approach. The model offered substantial support to students in grasping complex topic such as PAHs compounds.

Published: December 2023

Introducción: Las porciones laterovertebrales sacras de las cadenas simpáticas (CSLS) se unen por un asa anastomótica anterior a la articulación sacrococcígea o a la primera vértebra coccígea. Así resulta la formación de un engrosamiento denominado Ganglio Impar (GI). Éste recibe proyecciones nociceptivas y la inervación simpática de las vísceras distales de la pelvis y periné, siendo un blanco de bloqueo nervioso ante patologías dolorosas de la región.                                                                                                                           
Objetivo: Estudiar la frecuencia de formación, morfología, localización y relaciones del GI y así brindar herramientas para poder abordar la zona con seguridad.
Materiales y método: Se utilizaron treinta y siete preparados cadavéricos de pelvis, uno de ellos seccionado de forma sagital, exclusivamente para la mostración fotográfica. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: pinza de mano izquierda, tijeras Metzenbaum e Iris, mangos y hojas de bisturí. Por la profunda localización de las estructuras, se realizaron fotografías en 3D.
Resultados. Prevalencia y localización: la formación del GI fue encontrada en el 66,67% de los casos (24/36). De éstos, en el 50% (12/24) situándose anterior a la línea transversa entre la cuarta y quinta vértebras sacras (formación alta); y en el 50% (12/24) a nivel de la articulación sacrococcígea (formación baja). Relaciones: la CSLS se halla profunda a la lámina interureteral, a la fascia presacra y a las inserciones proximales del músculo piriforme (de anterior a posterior). En ausencia del GI, los filetes nerviosos pasan entre el vértice del cóccix y el músculo elevador del ano, tomando relación con los vasos sacros laterales. En caso de presentarse, el GI descansa sobre los vasos sacros medios, estando ambos contenidos en vainas independientes. Las relaciones difieren según la altura de formación. Morfología del GI: del total de los casos, el 29,17% presentó forma rectangular, el 12,5% triangular, y el 58,33% plexiforme. Abordajes: los abordajes fueron practicados a nivel de la línea media, siendo éstos: transsacrococcígeo, intercoccígeo y anococcígeo.
Conclusión: Concluimos que la formación del ganglio es prevalente, y la morfología predominante es la plexiforme. Cabe destacar que todos los elementos de la región presacrococcígea se encuentran detrás de la fascia presacra. El conocimiento de la anatomía y las relaciones del GI resulta de suma importancia para realizar abordajes a la misma. Consideramos que el abordaje más seguro es por la vía transsacrococcígea.

Published: December 2023

Nos últimos anos, observou-se fortemente a ampliação da oferta do Ensino Superior em todo país, mais especificamente em cidades interioranas. Essa expansão está atrelada principalmente pela inserção de políticas públicas que visam à descentralização da oferta de cursos de graduação das grandes regiões metropolitanas para o interior dos Estados da Federação. Para compreendermos a dinâmica empreendida no território alagoano, foram definidas duas Regiões Geográficas imediatas para o desenvolvimento desse estudo. Metodologicamente, o artigo se estruturou em uma tríade: Na Literatura, na utilização das técnicas de geoprocessamento com o auxílio do banco de dados do IBGE e o uso do street View do Google Earth para identificar a localização das Instituições. O estudo apresentou a importância da expansão recente que, apesar das suas contradições, se estabelece no território promovendo o acesso e formação profissional em Regiões antes excluídas.
