Published: December 2024

Abstract

Willows (Salix species) are vegetatively grown in short-rotation coppice and have the potential to produce a high yield in multiple harvests. Salix species easily hybridize in nature, which proves to be a rich source of variability for tree improvement programs. The recently developed hybrids, introduced clones/species, and local germplasm of willow in India were screened for quantitative and qualitative traits. There was significant variation between clones and non-significant variation between years for leaf and stipule characters. The distinct expressions of the leaf, stem, branch, and stipule traits were used to categorize the clones. As per Ward’s clustering method, two groups of clones were obtained, separating UHFS039, UHFS353, and UHFS370 clones having peculiar types of stipules from others. The clones with similar genetic homogeneity were grouped into one cluster, suggesting that many of the studied traits had common alleles. The findings of this study will be beneficial in identifying a clone/variety and grouping those clones into different categories for each trait.

Abstract

Triticum araraticum Jakubz., one of the two wild tetraploid wheat species (2n = 4x = 28), was divided into two subspecies by Dorofeev et al. (1979), namely, T. araraticum subsp. kurdistanicum Dorof. et Migusch. and subsp. araraticum. Recently, a thorough study on T. araraticum showed that this species is indeed differentiated into two genetically and karyotypically clearly distinct groups. However, their differentiation was inconsistent with the current taxonomic classification. Therefore, here we evaluate morphological data and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data for the inferred genetic and karyological groupings to revise the taxonomy of T. araraticum and its subspecies. As a result of our analysis, we present a new circumscription of T. araraticum subsp. araraticum and describe a new subspecies T. araraticum subsp. hammeri.

Abstract

Although many complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of different types of peppers have already been published, there has been no comprehensive study that summarizes all the characteristics of the Peruvian landrace “arnaucho” chili pepper (ACP) comparing it with other types of genomes in its Capsiceae tribe. In this study, a comprehensive analysis was conducted using data from cp genomes obtained from NCBI GenBank. These 14 genomes were annotated using Geseq, followed by genomic comparisons, chloroplast structure analysis, phylogeny, and repetitive sequence analysis, employing a variety of bioinformatics tools. The findings revealed length variations among the cp genomes, ranging from 156,583 bp in C. lycianthoides to 157,390 bp in C. pubescens, with a GC content of 37% across all genomes. The comparative genome analysis revealed that the greatest variation among the 14 genomes occurred in the non-coding regions. Arnaucho chili pepper exhibited greater divergence in coding regions with C. lycianthoides, specifically in the genes accD, rpl20, rps12, clpP, ycf2, ndhF, ndhA, ycf1, and rpl2. The results of the phylogeny and pairwise distance analysis in this study support that the arnaucho chili pepper clusters with C. galapagoense, with an average distance value of 0.00002733. Additionally, the repetitive sequence analysis determined that ACP maintains a number of repetitive sequences similar to other Capsicum species but possesses a lower number of SSRs (33). Finally, it was determined that the junction regions of ACP have a total length of 156,931 bp, similar to C. galapagoense with 156,959 bp. The four boundary regions exhibited consistent gene patterns, except for the JSB region, where the ycf1 gene in ACP was located only in the IRb region, whereas it was absent in other Capsicum species. This research provides additional effective evidence for characterizing the entire cp genome and classifying species and genera within the Capsiceae tribe.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

This work explores the integration of perception systems in behavior-based control applications using ROS2, with a focus on safe and effective interactions between humans and collaborative robots. Unlike conventional industrial robots, collaborative robots are designed to interact directly with human operators without physical barriers, making automation more accessible, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. A system integrating the UR3e robot and the Intel RealSense D435i camera was developed, enabling the robot to recognize objects and interpret gestures. YOLOv8 was used for object detection and segmentation, MediaPipe for gesture recognition and face detection, and Detectron2 for human detection, empowering the robot to manipulate objects and respond to gesture commands. The system's efficiency was validated through practical tests by moving objects between known points. The study highlights opportunities for improvement, such as replacing Detectron2 with YOLOv8, expanding the dataset, and adopting low-latency kernels. This research contributes to collaborative robotics by demonstrating the feasibility of integrating perception and behavior-based control, laying the foundation for future investigations and applications.

Published: December 2024

Abstract: The critical point of halal beauty products leads many consumers to prioritize the halal status of the products they purchase. In Indonesia, a country with a predominantly Muslim population, the demand for halal beauty products has made it the world’s second-largest market in this sector. This study applied online questionnaire. The study retained a total of 114 valid responses. Findings from this study indicate that the halal label significantly influences both halal awareness and purchase intention. Additionally, halal awareness has a substantial effect on purchase intention, which in turn significantly impacts purchasing behavior. However, halal awareness does not moderate the relationship between the halal label and purchase intention. Future research could consider examining product characteristics as factors influencing purchase intentions and behavior. The practical implications of this study include: (1) beauty manufacturers are encouraged to certify their products as halal; and (2) fostering halal awareness should be a shared responsibility across stakeholders.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
A high concentration of dissolved oxygen is essential for the maintenance of healthy aquatic ecosystems. Aeration studies have been conducted in both closed systems and open channels utilizing conventional hydraulic structures. However, the feasibility of aeration through screens with square openings has not yet been explored. This study aimed to evaluate the aeration efficiency (E20) in an open channel system using screens with square jets. Five input parameters were analyzed: angle of inclination, number of square jets, discharge, cumulative hydraulic radius, and Froude number. The results showed that Nj, α, and Q significantly influence E20. The highest E20 recorded was 37% on level terrain with moderate discharge in the open channel. This method has the potential to enhance oxygen concentrations in rural regions where skilled labor and mechanised systems may be challenging. The study also focused on identifying suitable soft computing models for predicting E20. Five machine learning approaches were employed: artificial neural network, random forest with Bagging, Gaussian process utilizing the Pearson VII function kernel (GP_PUK), support vector machine with the PUK kernel function (SVM_PUK), and a radial basis function (SVM_RBF). The GP model employing the PUK kernel function demonstrated superior performance.
A UPFC based Optimal Power Flow of an Integrated Power System
Authors: MD.Yaseen  , Sravana Kumar Bali  
Published: December 2024

The geopolitical landscape of the world has made it abundantly evident how important energy resources are and how best to use them on Earth. The ultimate consumers of electrical energy benefit from an additional benefit of lower costs due to resource optimization. In this paper a multi-objective optimal power flow (OPF) for an integrated power system in the presence of FACTS devices has been proposed. The selection of the multi-objective function makes this paper unique. Minimizing Negative Social Welfare (NSW) voltage variation and power loss are part of the objective function. Lower loss and NSW's guarantee of lower electricity costs per unit at the customer's end result in higher customer satisfaction. The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the FACTS device utilised to solve the issue. An IEEE 57 bus system has been used to test the hypothesis. The objective function has been optimized by applying the Mouth Flame Optimisation Algorithm.

Authors: Cahyono Edi , Widarjo Wahyu , Fenitra Rakotoarisoa Maminirina 
Published: December 2024

The unresolved link between abusive leadership and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) can be clarified through handarbeni, an attitude of empathy and a sense of belonging to one's organization. This study aims to explain the relationship between abusive leadership and employees' OCB while proposing an alternative model that conceptualizes handarbeni as a moderating variable to clarify this connection. The study involved 250 employees from Sharia Banks in Surakarta, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using both direct and online questionnaires through Google Forms. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to examine the impact of independent variables on dependent variables, while Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) was utilized to assess the moderating effect using SPSS version 26 software. This study revealed a negative and significant correlation between abusive leadership and employees' OCB. Additionally, the study found that handarbeni moderated the relationship between abusive leadership and employees' OCB. The findings indicate that employees with varying levels of a sense of belonging exhibited different behavioral patterns when subjected to abusive treatment from their superiors. The results suggest that leaders must minimize abusive behavior to enhance employees’ OCB. Furthermore, company leaders should provide stimuli to foster a strong sense of handarbeni among their employees.

Impact of Principal Component Analysis on the Performance of Machine Learning Models for the Prediction of Length of Stay of Patients
Authors: Jagriti Jagriti , Sharma Naresh , Aggarwal Sandeep 
Published: December 2024

Patient inflow, limited resources, criticality of diseases and service quality factors have made it essential for the hospital administration to predict the length of stay (LOS) for inpatients as well as outpatients. An efficient and effective LOS prediction tool can improve the patient care and minimize the cost of service by increasing the efficiency of the system through optimal allocation of available resources in the hospital. For predicting patient’s LOS, machine learning (ML) models can have encouraging results. In this paper, five ML algorithms, namely linear regression, k- nearest neighbours, decision trees, random forest, and gradient boosting regression, have been used to predict the LOS for the patients admitted to the hospital with some medical history, laboratory measurements, and vital signs collected before admission. Additionally, the impact of principal component analysis (PCA) has been analyzed on the predictive performance of all ML algorithms. A five-fold cross-validation technique has been used to validate the results of proposed ML model. The results concluded that the RF and GB model performs better with score of 0.856 and 0.855 respectively among all the ML models without using PCA. However, the accuracy of all the models increased with the PCA except KNN and LR. The GB model when used with principal components has score and MSE approximate to 0.908 and 0.49 respectively compared to the model that incorporates with the original data. Additionally, PCA has an advantageous effect on the DT, RF and GB models. Therefore, LOS for new patients can be predicted effectively using the proposed tree-based RF and GB model with using PCA.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Sudden death in sports was investigated from a medico-legal perspective, focusing on pathophysiology, prevention strategies, and postmortem diagnostics procedures. A literature review was conducted, searching databases including PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar using keywords related to sports and sudden death. All peer-reviewed articles from the last 10 years were considered, focusing on the pathophysiology, prevention, and postmortem procedures of sudden death in sports. The cardiological causes of sudden death differ significantly by age. In older athletes, ischemic heart disease is prevalent, while younger athletes more commonly suffer from genetic conditions such as cardiomyopathies and channelopathies. Non-cardiological causes include sudden unexpected death in epilepsy and intracranial hemorrhage. Additionally, doping in sports poses a significant risk. Postmortem diagnostics are challenging due to the lack of characteristic symptoms, requiring thorough analysis of the circumstances of death and the patient’s medical history. Essential postmortem studies include heart examinations, as well as histopathological, genetic, and toxicological analyses, tailored to the specifics of various sports disciplines. Sudden death in sports underscores the necessity for both primary and secondary prevention measures to ensure athlete safety. Implementing regular screenings and educational programs on the risks associated with physical activity and rigorous postmortem diagnostic procedures are crucial steps in mitigating these risks.

Authors: Šehić Faruk 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
A comprehensive analysis of optimal electric vehicle (EV) charging strategies was conducted in this paper, focusing on minimizing costs and reducing grid impact under different electricity tariffs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United Kingdom. Advanced mathematical optimization techniques were employed, including the development of a centralized charging algorithm that integrates real-time electricity prices and grid constraints. A comparison was made between weakly variable tariffs, such as those in Bosnia and Herzegovina and frequently variable tariffs, like the Octopus Agile tariff in London. The analysis revealed significant cost-saving potential and enhanced grid stability associated with the latter. The findings offer valuable insights for optimizing EV charging infrastructure, which could benefit both electric car owners and power system operators. Practical strategies for managing EV charging in a way that supports the stability and efficiency of the power grid are proposed.
