THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF CANNABIDIOL: THE MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENTS ON THE WAY TO A NEW ERA
Authors: Shevchuk M.M. , Volos L.I. 
Published: August 2023

Background. Cannabidiol (CBD), found in Cannabis sativa (hemp), is a non-psychoactive phytochemical substance that has gained considerable popularity over the past decade. Cannabidiol is the main phytocannabinoid, its share in the plant extract can reach 40%. Cannabidiol does not have any of the psychoactive properties that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and has a significant advantage for clinical use. Studies of cannabidiol involve studies of cognitive, anxiety and movement disorders, and chronic pain, but there is a lack of high-quality evidence that cannabidiol is effective for these conditions, such as safety and precise dose ranges for each disorder.
Aim: to analyze the main achievements in the development of experimental and clinical use of cannabidiol.
Materials and methods. We conducted a search for scientific studies related to the therapeutic use of cannabidiol. The included studies were selected based on a search of the online databases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar for documents related to the history of research and use of cannabidiol (cannabis, cannabidiol, tetrahydrocannabinol, endocannabinoid system, cannabinoid receptors were used as keywords). The search was carried out by two independent authors and 158 sources were selected for analysis, of which 61 were used that met the search criteria.
Results. Based on the analysis of experimental and clinical studies, it was established that cannabidiol has various properties, including antiapoptotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antipsychotic and neuroprotective. In addition, basic and clinical studies of the effects of cannabidiol have been conducted in the context of many other health conditions, including its potential use in epilepsy, depression, neurodystrophic diseases, schizophrenia, and social phobia.
Conclusion. Therefore, cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive phytochemical compound that can help patients with a different clinical condition. Despite the achievements, further studies are needed to determine the administration regimen and dose, likely side effects with long-term use, particularly in clinical settings.

Interpreting Uncertainty in Model Predictions in Bayesian Neural Networks for COVID-19 Diagnosis
Authors: Murugamoorthy Gayathiri 
Published: August 2023

<p>COVID-19, due to its accelerated spread has brought in the need to use assistive tools for faster diagnosis in addition to RT-PCR. Chest X-Rays for COVID cases tends to show changes in the lungs such as ground glass opacities and peripheral consolidations which can be detected by deep neural networks. However their point estimate nature and lack of capture of uncertainty in the prediction makes it less reliable for healthcare adoption. There have been several works in the interpretability of point estimate deep neural networks. However very limited work has been found oninterpretinguncertaintyin a COVID prediction and decomposing this to model or data uncertainty. To mitigate this we compute uncertainty in predictions with a Bayesian Convolutional Neural Network and develop a visualization framework to address interpretability. This framework aims to understand the contribution of individual features in the Chest-X-Ray images to predictive uncertainty. Providing this as an assistive tool can help the radiologist understand why the model came up with a prediction and whether the regions of interest captured by the model for the specific prediction are of significance in diagnosis. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has made an enormous impact on countries around the globe. One of the best approaches for tackling complications associated with COVID-19 and other thoracic pathologies is early detection of the diseases. In this work, seven convolutional neural network models for classification of chest X-ray images from four classes (COVID-19 vs lung opacity vs normal vs viral pneumonia) are developed and evaluated. The models were built without utilizing transfer learning. The best performing model is a 5-layer convolutional neural network that achieves a classification accuracy of 90.69% with a recall and precision of 91.25% and 92.03% across the four classes. </p>
Cardiac Arrhythmia Classification Using Wavelet Analysis of Electrocardiograms
Authors: Malhotra Nripendra 
Published: August 2023

<p>Cardiac Arrhythmias are heart rhythm abnormalities that seriously impact the quality of life and can be lethal. Four major types of cardiac arrhythmia that originate from atria and ventricles are atrial flutter (AFL), atrial fibrillation (AF), ventricular tachycardia (VT), and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Annually about 50,000 embolic strokes mostly due to AF and 35,000 sudden cardiac deaths mostly due to VF are reported in Canada. Accurate detection and segregation of these arrhythmia swiftly is an essential requirement for appropriate treatment. Automating this process is especially critical and valuable for implantable devices and long-term monitoring scenarios. </p>
<p>In this thesis, with the above motivation, we analyzed the electrocardiograms (ECGs) recorded during these 4 types of arrhythmia using wavelet transform. A total of 100 ECG segments con- taining 25 ECG segments each for AF, AFL, VT and VF, obtained from well-known open source databases were used in this study. Discriminative features were extracted from the wavelet coefficients and fed to a linear discriminant analysis based classifier. Based on the proposed scheme, best classification accuracies using library wavelets and adaptive continuous wavelets (ACW) are as follows: (i) for four group classification, Paul CW and A-pattern ACW attained <strong>77% </strong>and <strong>81% </strong>respectively, (ii) for the two group classification of AA, Paul CW and M-pattern ACW attained <strong>76% </strong>and <strong>86% </strong>respectively, (iii) for the two group classification of VA, Bump CW and M-pattern ACW attained <strong>92% </strong>and <strong>94% </strong>respectively. </p>

Authors: Sheikh Muhammad 
Published: August 2023

<p>Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems combined with beamforming antenna array technologies is playing a vital role in 5G and beyond communication systems. 5G com- munication is characterised by high bandwidth, low latency and high reliable communication and is a key factor to enable Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication. </p>
<p>In this thesis project, we simulate one of the applications of V2V ecosystem i.e vehicles com- municating with other vehicles. For brevity, a single scenario where one vehicle is stationary and the other vehicle is either moving towards or away from the stationary vehicle is considered for experiments. Initially, a framework based on single user MIMO-OFDM hybrid beamforming system operating at mmWave frequency of 28 GHz was established. Thereafter a precoding process is established using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) Algorithm that enables the transmitter to provide near optimum beamforming gain and directivity to the transmitted signal. </p>
<p>Next, a simulated scenario of a receiver moving at a constant speed communicating with a transmitter is implemented. We provide simulation results of the radiation pattern emitted by the transmitter for different receiver trajectory points. Radiation pattern is analysed in terms of E-field, power and directivity. Bit error rate and RMS EVM of the received signal was evaluated and benchmarked together with Doppler frequency shift waveform to show the frequency variation in received signal strength with distance </p>
Progressively Growing of Least Squares Generative Adversarial Networks
Authors: Mansour Sharif 
Published: August 2023

<p>In the past decade, generative models have seen exponentially use in the world of computer vision. One architecture that has consistently contributed to this domain is generative adversarial networks. These networks can produce outstanding results and very realistic appearing images. They do not however come without their downfalls, as they tend to be extremely unstable when training for resolutions beyond 64x64. As a result, several solutions have been proposed to combat stability and other issues found during training such as a lack of variation in images produced. The first set of solutions focus on using a variety of different loss functions such as the Wasserstein distance loss function or the least squares loss function. While other solutions propose altering the architecture used or even the training methodology which the networks undergo. To build upon the success of other solutions this paper will propose an architecture which grows during training to allow for high resolution images to be produced. This solution will combine the efforts of multiple other ones while also contributing novel changes to the GAN architecture. As an outcome, this report will showcase the new proposed approach and its ability to produce comparable results to other state-of-the-art solutions. </p>

Pulau Obi merupakan salah satu pulau yang berlokasi di gugusan pulau di Kabupaten Halmahera Selatan. Pulau Obi cukup dikenal sebagai salah satu daerah pertambangan di Kabupaten Halmahera Selatan, salah satunya adalah di Desa Anggai. Kawasan pertambangan di Desa Anggai sudah memiliki izin WPR (Wilayah Pertambangan Rakyat) dengan luas WPR 249,50 Ha sedangkan yang dikelola oleh masyakarat berkisar 25 Ha. Masyarakat Desa Anggai pada umumnya melakukan kegiatan penambangan rakyat baik berprofesi sebagai penambang, pengangkut (kijang), pereduksi ukuran (rempel), pemilik lubang penambangan, pemodal (pemilik mesin pengolahan tromol ataupun tangki pelindian dengan sianida). Mayoritas masyarakat menekuni profesi ini sejak tahun 1995 (25 tahun yang lalu) hingga saat ini, kandungan deposit emas yang ada belum diketahui cadangannya dengan pasti. Kelompok penambang rakyat menerapkan metode gophering (lobang tikus) mengikuti urat bijih yang memiliki kandungan ekonomis.

The potential of purple yam (Dioscorea alata L.) as a source of natural antioxidants has not been optimally utilized by the community. So there is a need for innovation in the utilization of purple yam through food diversification. Sago starch has amylose and amylopectin content similar to tapioca. So that in this study we wanted to develop boba with the basic ingredients of sago starch and the addition of purple yam. This study aims to produce boba that has antioxidant activity and is liked by panelists from variations in purple yam preparation and the use of sago starch on physical, chemical properties and preference level. This study used two preparation methods, namely steaming and boiling with variations in the concentration of sago and purple yam puree 48g:12g, 42g:18g and 36g:24g. Bubble pearl was tested for color, moisture content, antioxidant activity, anthocyanin content, liking test and selected samples were tested for total phenol content and ash content. The experimental design used was a complete randomized design with 2 factorials and the data were statistically tested using Univariate Analysis of Variance and ANOVA, if there was a significant difference, followed by DMRT test with Î±=0,05. The results showed that the preparation method and concentration of sago starch and purple yam puree had a significant effect on the increase in antioxidant activity and anthocyanin content. The selected boba that was favored by panelists was boba with steaming treatment with a concentration of sago starch and purple yam puree of 34g:24g with a moisture content of 67,12% bb, antioxidant activity of 59,54% RSA, anthocyanin content of 8,45 mg/g bk, total phenols of 30,46 mg GAE/g bk, and ash content of 0,02% bk.

Gender Equality Culture Measuring Attitudes Towards Gender Equality in the Transport Sector
Authors: Stave Christina , Levin Lena , Henriksson Per 
Published: August 2023

The transport industry is dominated by men. Globally, woman constitute only a few per cent of those working on board ships. Calculating the distribution of gender, wages, and positions provides an insufficient basis from which to address this imbalance; rather, we need to study the attitudes and norms that constitute “gender equality culture”. These qualitative aspects emphasize men’s and women’s life conditions, values, and ideals that affect their opportunities to exert influence in the workplace and society. They influence research and industry and must be highlighted to put gender equality high on the agenda. Experience from safety culture research was used together with a literature review to identify indicators and develop questions for a survey tool to measure and evaluate gender equality culture. This survey has been tested in the maritime sector by 546 employees in the Swedish Maritime Administration responsible for matters such as fairway maintenance, pilotage, and road ferries. The results indicated an overall strong equality culture that nevertheless had some weak areas. Significant differences were found, with men believing to a greater extent than women that the workplace was sufficiently equal and that no one was excluded because of gender. Women believed to a greater extent than men that they had better knowledge of gender equality goals and strategy and they perceived that there was more talk about how to increase gender equality. The results indicated potential to identify strengths and weaknesses as a basis for activities and learning in order to achieve an improved equality culture.
