Efficient pitch‐estimation network for edge devices
Authors: Jeong Chi Yoon , Song Youngmi , Shin Sungyong , Kim Mooseop
Published: May 2024

Pitch estimation is the task of finding the most conspicuous frequency in a complex audio signal. Many methods that use deep neural networks have significantly increased the accuracy of pitch estimation; however, their real‐time performance results were achieved on high‐performance devices. Because pitch estimation is widely used in real‐time applications on low‐power devices, we propose an efficient method for estimating pitch on edge devices. The network architecture of the proposed method uses a depth‐scaling strategy and fully leverages convolutional networks. We further introduce a channel attention mechanism to increase accuracy without increasing computational overhead. We compared the proposed model with state‐of‐the‐art (SOTA) and conventional methods using two public datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a better classification accuracy than FCNF0++, which is the best performing SOTA model. Furthermore, it reduces the processing time obtained by FCNF0++ on a personal computer and two edge devices by 48% on average. These experimental results confirm that the proposed method efficiently classifies pitch on edge devices.

Published: May 2024

Soil-transmitted helminthiasis remains a notable health problem in developing countries. In 1990 in Shanghai, a city in eastern China, 47% of the population was affected. Due to a series of comprehensive approaches, the prevalence decreased to 0.5% in 2009. We collected 10-year surveillance data to assess the epidemic situation of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections in Shanghai. Stool samples and questionnaires from participants were collected. The Kato-Katz technique was used to detect infections with Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus), and Trichuris trichiura. From 2014 to 2023, a total of 77,685 participants were screened for parasitic infections, and the overall prevalence of STH infections decreased from 0.1% to 0% in Shanghai. Of 77,685 participants, 25 (0.03%) were positive for intestinal helminths, with the most common parasite being A. lumbricoides (72.0%). Generally, elderly participants from rural areas with lower education levels were more likely to be infected with STHs. A total of 2,914 questionnaires were collected, and most respondents (72.6%) had good knowledge about the transmission routes of STHs. However, 12.3% of participants did not know the damage to health caused by STHs, and 19.3% had no idea of how to prevent infection. These data demonstrate the current state of STH infections in Shanghai. The results suggest that various comprehensive measures should be encouraged, continuously implemented, and strengthened accordingly so that STH elimination can be integrated into the Healthy China initiative by 2030.

Authors: Haladu M.M. , Yaro R.S. , Rabi'u S. , Auwalu S. , Nuhu F.D.
Published: May 2024

This study aimed at molecular detection of heavy metal tolerant bacteria from Kano, Kofar Ruwa scrap metal dump site, as heavy metals are one of the major setbacks to many forms of lives and their presence in the ecosystem is rapidly increasing due to anthropogenic activities, rampant scrap metal waste disposal and other industrial wastes. Bacteria were found to be among many microorganisms that are able to tolerate many heavy metals and can reduce their toxicity or even convert them to useful resources. The heavy metal content of some soil samples analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Standard methods of enrichment culture and colony count were used to isolate a total of 12 bacterial species. Using 16S rRNA gene sequence based on molecular system, the 12 isolates were identified and grouped into one genus (Bacillus). It was also observed and reported from the results that the concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, and Cr) found to be high above the WHO permissible limits (Copper-2.0, Zinc-3.0, Lead-0.4, Chromium-0.05 and Cadmium-0.03). Therefore, the bacterial isolates capable of surviving at such levels of heavy metals could have potential application in the bioremediation, bioleaching, human carcinogens substances and soil infertility of heavy metal contaminants . It is therefore, recommended that further research on these bacterial species should be carried out to address their significance for the public health interest and humanity in general.

Fortschreibende Vertextung: Zur Poetik des Dramenprojektes 'Die letzten Tage der Menschheit' von Karl Kraus
Authors: Traupmann Thomas
Published: May 2024

Zum 150. Geburtstag von Karl Kraus am 28. April: Eine umfassende Untersuchung seines Hauptwerkes »Die letzten Tage der Menschheit« Dieses Buch geht davon aus, dass es ›die‹ »Letzten Tage der Menschheit« eigentlich gar nicht gibt. Stattdessen muss das Dramenprojekt von Karl Kraus als ein umfassender textueller, medialer und materialer Verbund verstanden werden, der ständig auch von seiner Auflösung bedroht ist. Die Untersuchung folgt daher einer doppelten Fortschreibung – denn »Die letzten Tage der Menschheit« werden fortgesetzt, erweitert, variiert; aber sie werden auch aufgeschoben und verunmöglicht. Um die Poetik dieses Dramenprojektes angemessen rekonstruieren zu können, rückt die Studie das Ensemble von Praktiken ins Zentrum, die der Materialität, der Literarizität und der Diskursivität der »Letzten Tage der Menschheit« zuarbeiten. Was ein Text, eine Gattung, ein Buch oder ein Autor ist, und inwiefern das Literarische zugleich ans ›Außerliterarische‹ gekoppelt wird, lässt sich am Beispiel von Karl Kraus noch einmal neu bedenken. Zudem erschließt die Untersuchung erstmals systematisch die Nachlassmaterialien der »Letzten Tage der Menschheit«. Somit verspricht die Monographie gleich mehrere Neubewertungen: von Karl Kraus, den »Letzten Tagen der Menschheit« und dem Schreiben im und vom Krieg. Die Dissertation, die diesem Buch zugrundeliegt, wurde mit dem Internationalen Wendelin-Schmidt-Dengler-Preis 2023 ausgezeichnet.

Translating Trauma into Testimony
Authors: Langer Phil C. , Ahmad Aisha-Nusrat
Published: May 2024

Research involving highly vulnerable groups, such as those with deeply traumatic experiences, presents researchers with significant ethical and methodological hurdles. This article outlines a project conducted in northern Iraq with former ISIS child soldiers. We reflect on our methodological and ethical decisions within the framework of the do no harm imperative — a cornerstone of research ethics that has faced criticism for its perceived inadequacy. Our focus lies in detailing the development, theoretical underpinnings, methodological justification, and practical application of a participatory approach through collaborative storytelling with children and adolescents. In addition to adhering to the do no harm principle, which seeks to prevent adverse consequences such as re-traumatisation, we advocate for a positive ethic of recognition. This approach facilitates the methodological translation of traumatic experiences and their socio-political transformation into testimonies.

We refer to the evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of learning at adult ages stating the systemic (organizational) evaluation model, the evaluation criterion being efficiency and the andragogic (personal) model, the evaluation criterion being effectiveness.
Evaluarea în învăţământul primar
Authors: TRANDAFIR Mihaela
Published: May 2024

The assessment is closely intertwined with the teaching-learning process, practically being carried out simultaneously and integrally with them. Evaluation thus represents an original way of transmitting and acquiring knowledge, training skills, capacities, abilities, behaviors, attitudes, etc. Thus, the evaluation tends to reach from the steps of ascertainment, description and those of estimation, explanation and foreshadowing of ameliorative decisions, to optimize the educational processes. The evaluation of students' results has positive effects on their activity, fulfilling a role of "supervision" of their learning activity, by the fact that it directs it towards the essential contents and determines the appropriate learning style, supports it motivationally and stimulates it through "positive inputs", trains the students in a sustained activity. Also, the systematic control provides students with an operative feed-back on the achieved performances and helps them to consciously and objectively determine to what extent they correspond to the established pedagogical objectives. We must always record the progress that students make in the learning process. That's why assessment is meant to support us to improve learning, not to prove that students have learned something specific (and how much) as information. For these reasons, teachers must use both formative assessment (for the teachinglearning process) and summative assessment (for the "products" resulting from learning).

Diagnóstico de la Cultura Empresarial. Comparación con otros estudios
Authors: López Torres LLemel , Cruz Cordero Teresa
Published: May 2024

Este diagnóstico enriquece y corrobora otros estudios donde se hacen generalizaciones de las manifestaciones de la cultura organizacional empresarial, al mismo tiempo que se podemos encontrar resultados no tan sorpresivos con relación al cambio en la cultura empresarial.
 

En los indicadores de los sistemas culturales que se ponen de manifiesto con mayor frecuencia en los empresarios se destacan los siguientes: Actitud ante el trabajo, ritos y ceremonias, la preocupación de los miembros de la organización se centra en la empresa, creencias y valores. Es importante mantener e incentivar estos resultados en función de potenciar los procesos y garantizar el cumplimiento de los objetivos.
 

Resulta interesante destacar que la innovación, los riesgos y el enfoque estratégico no se consideran de forma significativa, razón por la cual habría que tomar acciones para mejorar esta orientación. Es importante estudiar la cultura organizacional, ya que la identificación de sus paradigmas y de los indicadores de los sistemas de gestión, cultura y humanos, marcan los comportamientos de los individuos en la organización lo que contribuye al desarrollo de la sostenibilidad en la empresa.

Aplicación de modelos de comportamiento del consumidor a un municipio como insumo para su desarrollo turístico
Authors: Hernández Ruiz Alma , López Rojas Douglas Enrique
Published: May 2024

Basado en las teorías del marketing y la gerencia aplicada se fundamenta un modelo teórico sobre la imagen de diferenciación y posicionamiento de un municipio , como municipio turístico ideal en la visión de los tours operadores, artesanos y demás prestadores de servicios turísticos de este municipio, que sirva de insumo al Estado en la formulación de las políticas de este sector. Metodológicamente, se parte de la revisión bibliográfica de los especialistas del estado del arte de los modelos de comportamiento y toma de decisión en el marketing. Utilizando criterios sistemáticos los predictores del modelo quedan conformados por las variables de marketing: riesgo percibido, confianza, actitud e intención y, algunas variables decisionales objetivas, subjetivas y organizacionales que al ser medidas a través de los referentes empíricos de estos actores sociales ratifican la existencia de un flujo de información que por vía de los constructos de percepción penetran y se convierten en constructos de aprendizaje produciendo en el encuestado una acción de preferencia o no, a invertir en un municipio.

Authors: Díaz Llorca Carlos
Published: May 2024

Muchas personas declaran intuitivamente que en la actualidad, en relación con sus tiempos, “hay una
crisis de valores”. Estas manifestaciones suceden porque las sociedades cambian y los grupos sociales evolucionan
de acuerdo a su momento histórico, así como a la tradición cultural de cada sociedad.
En estos cambios que se van produciendo de manera continua, en el accionar diario, tienen una gran influencia los cambios que se van sucediendo en la sociedad en el orden económico, político y sobre todo tecnológico, que transforman los haceres, es decir los valores, y con ello las creencias.
Es evidente que, en los últimos tiempos, el cambio asociado al desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones está influyendo en la formación de valores en los jóvenes a través de las redes sociales y los
medios y esto le plantea a la educación en general grandes retos.
Es objetivo de este trabajo reflexionar cómo se forman los valores y en qué medida los medios y las redes sociales están imponiendo un reto a los sistemas de educación.

Mujeres, género y sostenibilidad: desafíos y perspectivas
Authors: Castro Veletanga Jacqueline  Nicole
Published: May 2024

La clarificación conceptual de la violencia contra las mujeres es la base para entender el carácter específico y estructural de este fenómeno en nuestras sociedades, distinguir factores de riesgo asociados al mismo contribuye en la atención e intervención con mujeres víctimas/sobrevivientes de violencia, del mismo modo desmontar la visión ortodoxa de la economía tradicional e incorporar una perspectiva de género, colocando en el centro del análisis la sostenibilidad de la vida y la importancia del trabajo de cuidados. El objetivo del trabajo es analizar la participación económica de las mujeres, visibilizando mecanismos de discriminación en el mercado laboral y proponiendo estrategias para empoderar a mujeres y niñas en una sociedad equitativa y sostenible. La metodología de revisión bibliográfica se basó en un exhaustivo rastreo de fuentes académicas relevantes en estudios de género a nivel internacional y local con un enfoque interseccional. Los resultados indican una feminización de la pobreza, debido a limitaciones en su autonomía económica, falta de acceso al mercado laboral, perpetuación de estereotipos de género que limitan sus oportunidades y posibilidades en otros ámbitos e incremento de la violencia contra las mujeres en el hogar. Por ende; es esencial incorporar el trabajo doméstico no remunerado en los análisis económicos y reconocer el cuidado como un asunto social y político, necesario para la sostenibilidad de la vida humana. Debe considerarse un problema público, no solo una responsabilidad individual, mayoritariamente femenina. Esto permitirá desarrollar políticas públicas para un acceso universal y equitativo, reduciendo desigualdades.
De microempresas a gigantes. Breve análisis de la actuación de empresas paradigmáticas
Authors: Blanco Encinosa Lázaro J.
Published: May 2024

Hay muchas razones para pensar que el ambiente organizativo, legal, económico, comercial y cultural existente en muchas de nuestras naciones, no favorece todo lo posible el surgimiento y desarrollo de pequeñas empresas; que puedan evolucionar desde la micro y pequeña organización, hasta variantes mayores; y así crear la necesaria riqueza y consecuentemente los empleos requeridos, para que la prosperidad beneficie a los sectores no siempre favorecidos de nuestras sociedades. Debido a ello, nuestras economías devienen “economías de timbiriches”, con miles de empresas que nunca crecen, y que malamente permiten alimentarse a sus dueños.Se presentan aquí algunas prácticas empresariales dignas de ser conocidas, aquellas que las llevaron de ser microempresas al borde de la desaparición, a lo que son hoy. Se tratará de destacar éxitos, pero también errores. De la misma manera, se darán pautas para que nuestras empresas puedan surgir de una manera positiva, alternando resultados buenos y malos para tener  como un punto de partida en nuestras empresas.
