Detecor algorithm: derived from the exploration of iterative methods
Authors: Li Jia , Zheng Weimin 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

The paper summarizes the pattern framework of some optimization algorithms, and proposes four optimization directions within this algorithmic pattern: search agent particles, search direction and perturbation, and search step size. Based on this pattern, the paper introduces an optimization algorithm called "Detector", and the name is just for convenient.In this algorithm, for the search direction and perturbation, as well as the search step size, it performs simple processing and only considers the optimization direction of the iterative search agent particles. For the current position of the search agent particles, a function is designed to evaluate this position. If the function value is greater than a threshold, the particle will not explore around that position, but move to another location.This optimization algorithm is designed without any natural inspirations, in order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed pattern framework. It also analyzes the limitations of this class of optimization algorithms.The algorithm is tested on the CEC2013, CEC2014, CEC2015, CEC2017, and CEC2022 test suites, and compared with 9 other algorithms, with a focus on the high-cost CEC2013 test suite. The algorithm performs well on most functions in the test suites. It uses a very small number of parameters and simple steps, without any natural inspirations.

Abstract

Storyboards are one of the most effective methods to pre-visualize a story: a sequence of illustrations or pictures portraying settings, characters, actions, and events. This graphical representation is a sort of roadmap that guides users throughout the story. The storyboarding process is a key step for both movie and videogame productions, allowing creators to visualize the scenes and find potential problems before they occur. Whereas storyboards are usually drawn or sketched in 2D, recent technological advances allow storytellers to cope with 3D characters and scenes. A 3D approach overcomes 2D methodologies as the storytellers can achieve a better understanding of spaces, objects, lights, and camera movements. Moreover, extended reality (XR) technologies can enhance these benefits by adding a feeling of immersion otherwise not achievable. This manuscript investigates and compares two XR-based storyboarding solutions, which share a common graphical user interface. The proposed system has been tested involving both domain experts and students in a tabletop scale scenario. Experimental results clearly indicate that the virtual reality-based solution outperforms the augmented reality one from the usability point of view; moreover, a lower workload is experienced when an input interface based on physical controllers is available.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Forest biomass plays a decisive role in the global climatic condition. Therefore, rapid and accurate estimation of forest biomass is crucial for greatly reducing the uncertainty in carbon stock assessments, and for designing strategic forest management plans. Because, forest above-ground biomass (AGB) estimation is important in determining the management, environmental, and economic roles of forests in the Blue Nile basin. This study aimed to estimate forest above-ground biomass in the Upper Blue Nile Basin by integrating field-measured data with observations from Sentinel-2. Therefore, the first correlation between measured forest AGB and derived vegetation indices and biophysical parameters was investigated. A stepwise regression analysis was carried out to estimate forest AGB. The maximum forest AGB value of 268.32 t/ha was estimated in the Alemsaga natural forest. Green normalized difference vegetation index, leaf area index, fraction of absorbed photosynthetic active radiation, and fractional vegetation cover achieved moderate performance in predicting AGB with R2 value > 0.5. Forest AGB was estimated with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.59, an adjusted R2 of 0.618, and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 38.36 t/ha in comparison to field observations.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Due to the complex backgrounds of remote sens2 ing images and the small size of aircraft targets, the results of 3 commonly used detection algorithms in small aircraft target 4 detection are not satisfactory. Moreover, the prevalent deep 5 learning algorithms are generally too cumbersome to adapt 6 to the resource-constrained satellite platforms. To improve 7 detection accuracy while maintaining model simplicity for 8 satellite on-orbit small aircraft detection, we develop an im9 proved algorithm based on YOLOv5, called LEN-YOLO. 10 Firstly, we adopt the EIoU Loss for target localization, en11 abling the network to effectively focus on small aircraft tar12 gets. Second, a Lite backbone is designed by discarding high 13 semantic information, using low semantic feature maps to 14 detect small targets. Finally, we propose a BSG-FPN struc15 ture to fuse feature maps of different scales to increase de16 tailed information. Experimental results on RSOD and DIOR 17 datasets demonstrate compared to the baseline YOLOv5, 18 LEN-YOLO achieves an increase of 5.1% and 4.2% in APs 19 respectively. Notably, parameters are reduced by 78.3% and 20 floating-point operations by 33.2%.

Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of psychology and artificial intelligence through the development and evaluation of specialized Large Language Models (LLMs). We introduce PsychoLex, a suite of resources designed to enhance LLMs' proficiency in psychological tasks in both Persian and English. Key contributions include the PsychoLexQA dataset for instructional content and the PsychoLexEval dataset for rigorous evaluation of LLMs in complex psychological scenarios. Additionally, we present the PsychoLexLLaMA model, optimized specifically for psychological applications, demonstrating superior performance compared to general-purpose models. The findings underscore the potential of tailored LLMs for advancing psychological research and applications, while also highlighting areas for further refinement. This research offers a foundational step towards integrating LLMs into specialized psychological domains, with implications for future advancements in AI-driven psychological practice.
Theoretical Analysis of Robust CAPMs under a Quadratic Security Market Model
Authors: Kusuda Koji , Kikuchi Kentaro 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

This study assumes homothetic robust Epstein-Zin utility and analyzes the consumption--investment problem and CAPMs under a quadratic security market model in which interest rates, the market price of risk, the variances and covariances of asset returns, and inflation rates are stochastic. First, we demonstrate that homothetic robust Epstein-Zin utility is interpreted as homothetic stochastic differential utility. Then, we derive a robust version of the two-factor CAPM and show that the CAPM can contribute to solving both the equity premium puzzle and the risk-free rate puzzle.

One kind of Sufi healing originating from the Banjar community in South Kalimantan is the practice of Batatamba. This study examines the forms, methods and sources of Sufi healing practice that live and develop in South Kalimantan. The method used in this study is qualitative. The data were collected from field research. It employs an anthropological approach which looks at the Sufi side of healing in the practice of Batatamba.Contribution: This study gives a new insight into Sufi healing that developed in South Kalimantan that combines the Sufistic tradition with local wisdom and the legitimacy of mystics in knowledge transfer (epistemology). The mystical legitimacy has made practitioners of traditional medication in this area, commonly known as Pananamba, have a sacred element and are committed to a humane mission to help others.
Effects of CYP3A5 Genetic Polymorphisms on the Weight-adjusted through Concentration of Sirolimus in Renal Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Park Yoon-A , Park Juyeong , Yee Jeong , Gwak Hye Sun 
Published: August 2024

Background:
Sirolimus, one of the immunosuppressive drugs administered to renal transplant recipients,
is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5. Accordingly, CYP3A5 polymorphism is a genetic
factor affecting sirolimus pharmacokinetics (PK). Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis
on the association between sirolimus PK and CYP3A5*3 polymorphism.

Methods:
We searched for studies published up to 13 June 2024 from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library,
and Web of Science. We reviewed studies on the relationship between CYP3A5*3 polymorphism and weightadjusted
trough concentration/dose (C0 /D) ratio and dosage of sirolimus in renal transplant recipients, according
to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We evaluated
mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results:
A total of seven studies were included. The weight-adjusted C0 /D ratio of sirolimus was significantly
higher in patients with the CYP3A5*3/*3 rather than CYP3A5*1/*1 or CYP3A5*1/*3 genotype (MD 95.27
ng/mL per mg/kg; 95% CI: 58.06, 132.47; I2 = 74%; p < 0.00001). Also, the weight-adjusted dosage of sirolimus
was significantly lower in patients with the CYP3A5*3/*3 rather than CYP3A5*1/*1 or CYP3A5*1/*3
genotype (MD -2.60 × 10-3 mg/kg; 95% CI: -4.52, -0.69; I2 = 44%; p = 0.008).

Conclusion:
Our meta-analysis showed a significant effect for the CYP3A5*3 genotype on weight-adjusted
C0 /D ratio and dosage of sirolimus in adult renal transplant recipients.

Authors: Asteria Carmela , Secchi Francesco , Morricone Lelio , Malavazos Alexis Elias , Francesconi Simona , Milani Valentina , Giovanelli Alessandro 
Published: August 2024

Background:
The recognition of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) as a cardiac risk
factor has increased the interest in strategies that target cardiac adipose tissue.

Aim:
The effect of bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS)-induced weight loss on EAT volume
was evaluated in this study.

Methods:
Fifteen bariatric patients, with (MS) or without (wMS) Metabolic Syndrome, underwent
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using an open-bore scanner to assess EAT volume,
visceral adipose tissue (VAT) thickness, and other cardiac morpho-functional parameters at
baseline and 12 months after BMS. Nine patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
(LSG), and 6 patients underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP).

Results:
EAT volume significantly decreased in all the patients 12 months post-BMS from 91.6
cm3 to 67.1 cm3; p = 0.0002 in diastole and from 89.4 cm3 to 68.2 cm3; p = 0.0002 in systole.
No significant difference was found between the LSG and RYGBP group. Moreover, EAT volume
was significantly reduced among wMS compared with MS. In particular, EAT volume in
diastole was significantly reduced from 80.9 cm3 to 54.4 cm3; p = 0.0156 in wMS and from 98.3
cm3 to 79.5 cm3; p = 0.031 in MS. The reduction was also confirmed in systole from 81.2 cm3 to
54.1 cm3; p = 0.0156 in wMS and from 105.7 cm3 to 75.1 cm3; p = 0.031 in MS. Finally, a positive
correlation was found between EAT loss, BMI (r = 0.52; p = 0.0443) and VAT (r = 0.66; p
= 0.008) reduction after BMS.

Conclusion:
These findings suggest that EAT reduction may be a fundamental element for improving
the cardio-metabolic prognosis of bariatric patients. Moreover, this is the first study
performed with an open-bore MRI scanner to measure EAT volume.

Awal Waktu Salat Magrib Berdasarkan Ketinggian Daerah di Kabupaten Jeneponto (Studi Perbandingan Dengan Jadwal Waktu Salat Sepanjang Masa)
Authors: Kartini Selvira Febriani , Alimuddin  , Muh. Akmal Andi 
Published: August 2024

Penentuan waktu salat didasarkan pada fenomena matahari yang tampak oleh pancaindra. Adapun secara astronomi, waktu magrib diawali ketika terbenamnya matahari. Terbenamnya matahari di sini berarti seluruh “piringan” matahari telah “masuk” dibawah horizon (cakrawala). Kerendahan ufuk ini sangat dipengaruhi oleh ketinggian tempat. Semakin tinggi kedudukan mata kita, semakin besar nilai kerendahan ufuk. Sehingga, tempat yang berada lebih tinggi akan menyaksikan benda langit terbit lebih awal serta melihat benda langit terbenam lebih akhir. Seiring berkembangnya zaman dan iptek, maka muncullah aneka sofware ataupun jadwal waktu salat sepanjang masa yang di buat oleh ahli falak. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian lapangan atau field research karena menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dimana peneliti secara langsung mengamati subjek yang diteliti di lapangan. Sumber data yang digunakan yaitu data primer dan data sekunder, Data primer penelitian ini adalah data yang diperoleh dari observasi dan wawancara. Data sekunder dalam penelitian ini merupakan sumber informasi yang mendukung penelitian ini, Dari hasil penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa: 1. Realita awal waktu salat magrib berdasarkan ketinggian daerah di Kabupaten Jeneponto. 2. Implementasi Jadwal Waktu Salat Sepanjang Masa. 3. Perbandingan awal waktu salat magrib berdasarkan ketinggian daerah di Kabupaten Jeneponto dengan jadwal waktu salat sepanjang masa. Sedangkan realita awal waktu salat berdasarkan ketinggian tempat tidak menjadi pengaruh karena yang menjadi patokan dikalangan masyarakat yaitu bunyi azan pada masjid. Penggunaan jadwal waktu salat umumnya digunakan pada masjid terutama pada daerah Kabupaten Jeneponto. Perbandingan awal waktu salat dengan jadwal waktu salat sepanjang masa, pada daerah dataran tinggi memiliki selisih 2-3 menit, dan daerah dataran rendah terdapat selisih 1-2 menit dengan jadwal waktu salat sepanjang masa sedangkan pada daerah dataran tinggi dan rendah terdapat selisih 1 menit dan tidak menjadi masalah. Implikasi penelitian ini ialah penentuan koordinat yang dijadikan acuan juga penting karena perbedaan dalam pengambilan koordinat daerah akan menyebabkan perbedaan dalam hasil perhitungan jadwal. Jadwal yang baik yang dihitung secara khusus untuk suatu kota, dan selayaknya dikeluarkan oleh pihak yang berwenang.

Authors: Rodrigues Samuel Pereira , Souza Márcio Coutinho de , Quintela Mirelle Cristina de Abreu , Medeiros Adriano Lélis de , Silva Magnum Moreira da 
Published: August 2024

Purpose: investigate the relationship of public spending on combating covid-19 with the number of people infected and deaths in the brazilian states in the period 2020 and 2021.

Theoretical framework: approach to the covid19 pandemic and public finance, focusing on its concept and functions.

Method: qualitative and quantitative analysis, through bibliographic study, data collection, elaboration and interpretation of dashboards.

Results and discussions: there is a perceptible relationship between population numbers and the number of resources spent, so states with larger populations tend to have higher spending. States may have large amounts invested, but have a low per capita expenditure due to their large population, as there may be the opposite, states have a high per capita expenditure even without having made a large expenditure. In addition, states with a larger number of infected people tend to have lower per capita spending even though they have invested a large number of resources. On the other hand, states with a smaller number of infected individuals tend to have higher per capita spending per infected individual.

Research implications: the subject matter allows us to better visualize the number of financial resources that each state has made available in the fight against covid-19.

Originality/value: the data obtained in this research can be used by public managers as a way to visualize whether the actions taken during this period had an effect on the variables studied, in this case, the number of infected and deaths, besides the comparison with other states that are beyond their administration. This work also opens the possibility of further studies using other variables, to be later compared with the results found during this research.
