Movable, Removable, or Immovable?
Authors: Stride Chris 
Published: May 2023

Statues are associated with permanence, yet sports statues sited at stadia challenge this assumption. Sports venues are not immortal, and rarely venerable: baseball welcomed a plethora of new ballparks in the 1990s. An existing statue might not be considered suitable for a new venue, and the right to move it may be challenged by stakeholders. Focusing on a recent franchise move that brought such issues into focus—the Atlanta Braves’ 2017 relocation to Cobb County—this article describes disputes over statues of Hank Aaron and Ty Cobb, thus illuminating tensions surrounding the Braves’ and Atlanta’s sports heritage and history. Just as a sports statue allows different communities to simultaneously perceive ownership of a sports organisation’s past, moving that statue disrupts these claims and assumptions, creating conflict, and revealing how the sports organisation, its fans, local residents and public bodies interact with their heritage, with each other, and the ‘identity’ of their team.
“I Was Me”
Authors: Rowley Sarah B. 
Published: May 2023

Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, who represented Los Angeles, was one of the first Black women to be elected to Congress (1972), the first representative to give birth while serving, and the first woman to chair the Congressional Black Caucus. She garnered national press attention not only for her politics but for her personal life. This chapter situates Burke’s public persona within the intellectual tradition of Black feminism. Throughout her time in Congress, Burke used the novelty of her very presence as a Black woman politician to garner public attention for issues related to gender and racial equality. Burke’s politics were explicitly intersectional, and as a visible mother of a young child, she challenged the omnipresent "Black matriarch" stereotype of dysfunction and gender disorder within Black families.
A Fast and Accurate Method for Classifying Tomato Plant Health Status Using Machine Learning and Image Processing
Authors: Ulutas Hasan , Aslantas Veysel 
Published: May 2023

Agriculture is crucial to economic growth and development, and maintaining high-quality, disease-free plants is crucial to its success. Early detection of plant diseases, which can be caused by environmental factors, fungi, bacteria, and viruses, is essential to implement appropriate treatments. Tomatoes, which are one of the most vital food crops, are susceptible to diseases that can result in significant economic losses in agriculture.
This study introduces a method to evaluate the health of tomato leaf using image processing techniques and machine learning algorithms. A dataset of 1,778 images of healthy and infected tomato leaves was collected from tomato planting areas in the Turkish provinces of Samsun and Mersin. Sixteen advanced machine learning algorithms were used for classification, and the optimal hyperparameters for each algorithm were determined using a grid search approach. The classifiers were executed on Jetson Nano and TX2 embedded systems.
The experimental results indicate that the Random Forest classifier outperformed other algorithms, achieving approximately 99 % accuracy in detecting and classifying the health status of tomato leaves. The proposed system enables faster and more accurate detection, allowing farmers to classify plants as infected or healthy, ultimately improving decision-making on treatment and pest management strategies.

A space and time efficient convolutional neural network for age group estimation from facial images
Authors: Alsaleh Ahmad , Perkgoz Cahit 
Published: May 2023

Background
Age estimation has a wide range of applications, including security and surveillance, human-computer interaction, and biometrics. Facial aging is a stochastic process affected by various factors, such as lifestyle, habits, genetics, and the environment. Extracting age-related facial features to predict ages or age groups is a challenging problem that has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. Various methods have been developed to solve the problem, including classification, regression-based methods, and soft computing approaches. Among these, the most successful results have been obtained by using neural network based artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN). In particular, deep learning approaches have achieved improved accuracies by automatically extracting features from images of the human face. However, more improvements are still needed to achieve faster and more accurate results.

Methods
To address the aforementioned issues, this article proposes a space and time-efficient CNN method to extract distinct facial features from face images and classify them according to age group. The performance loss associated with using a small number of parameters to extract high-level features is compensated for by including a sufficient number of convolution layers. Additionally, we design and test suitable CNN structures that can handle smaller image sizes to assess the impact of size reduction on performance.

Results
To validate the proposed CNN method, we conducted experiments on the UTKFace and Facial-age datasets. The results demonstrated that the model outperformed recent studies in terms of classification accuracy and achieved an overall weighted F1-score of 87.84% for age-group classification problem.

Authors: Gwunireama I. U. , Bob-Manuel I. F. , Collins G. U. 
Published: May 2023

Background: Understanding the morphological differences in the branching pattern of carotid vessels has played a significant role in successful surgical operations around the neck region. This study aimed at evaluating the morphological variants of the external carotid artery (ECA) in relation to its carotid bifurcation (CB) and its branches.
Methods: After obtaining twenty-five (25) hemi-necks and later dissected, 25 ECAs were examined (13 right and 12 left). The patterning of the superficial branches and CB from common carotid artery were photographed and later analyzed in terms of variations of origin.
Results: CB appeared as V-shaped in 24 cases (96%). Superior thyroid artery (STA) originated majorly from both the ECA (40.91%) and from the CB (36.36%). The percentage distributions of occurrence of arterial branch origins from ECA in both hemi-neck sides are as follows; ascending pharyngeal (85.71%), lingual (84%), facial (88%) and occipital (95%).
Conclusion: In adult Nigerian cadavers, the V-shaped carotid bifurcation pattern is more common and the CB was more prevalent at the level of the upper border of thyroid cartilage. Higher numbers of origins were observed more in STA compared to other superficial branches of ECA.
Serum Ferritin – The Role of Birthweight: A Comparative Study
Authors: Asinobi Isaac Nwabueze 
Published: May 2023

Aims: To determine the serum ferritin levels amongst low birth weight neonates and to correlate it with different categories of low birth weight. To determine the role of birth weight in predicting changes in serum ferritin levels.
Methodology: This was a prospective comparative cross sectional study which was carried out at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Enugu, Nigeria between June and December 2014. The study included 140 newborns of all birth weights delivered at the UNTH. These were categorized into extremely low birth weight (ELBW), very low birth weight (VLBW), low birth weight (LBW) normal birth weight and macrosomic. Babies with C-reactive protein levels > 10mg/dl, who were intra-uterine growth restricted, and whose mothers had conditions associated with low iron stores were excluded from the study. Anthropometric measurements were done for all subjects. Serum ferritin was measured at birth and this was correlated with birth weight and gestational age.
Results: Serum ferritin levels ranged from 20.6 to 296.4µg/l. Ferritin levels showed a steady increase in relation to birth weight. (F = 42.453, P < .001). There was a significant association between ferritin levels and categories of birth weight. ELBW babies were 98 times more likely to have low ferritin levels than babies with normal weight (P < .001, OR = 97.600, 95% C.I = 10.083 – 944.711). VLBW and LBW babies were more likely to have low ferritin levels than babies with normal weight (P < .001, OR = 0.070, 95% C.I = 0.017 – 0.291)(P = .006, OR = 0.201, 95% C.I = 0.064 – 0.635). Only birthweight was a significant positive predictor of low ferritin levels (P = .024).
Conclusion: Serum ferritin in new-borns showed a significant association with birth weight. Birth weight is a positive predictor of low serum ferritin levels.
