Computer vision-based intelligent detection method for the residual capability of energy dissipators in flexible protection systems

A residual capability intelligent detection method based on computer vision is proposed to address the issues of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and high danger in manual measurement of energy dissipators in flexible protection systems. The proposed method first establishes a binary semantic segmentation dataset for energy dissipators and trains a salient object detection deep neural network to segment the energy dissipator binary map; Then, it uses morphological image processing and contour detection to calculate the residual capability automatically. U2-Net, U2-Netp, and BASENet were trained and compared by a dataset with 500 ring-type energy dissipator images. The proposed method was validated through a quasi-static tensile test and a full-scale impact test. Compared with the most accurate integration calculation method, the error of the proposed method does not exceed 3 %, and the efficiency is improved by about 25 times compared to the most commonly used manual detection method.

Case Study- Ovarian Cyst

Fluid-filled sacs or pockets within or on the surface of an ovary are known as ovarian cysts. On either side of the uterus, women have two ovaries, each roughly the size and shape of an almond. Throughout the reproductive years, ova, or eggs, are released monthly in cycles after developing and maturing in the ovaries. Ovarian cysts affect a lot of women at some point. The majority of ovarian cysts are benign and cause little to no discomfort. Without therapy, the majority vanishes in a few of months. On the other hand, ovarian cysts, particularly those that have burst, might present with severe symptoms. Get routine pelvic exams and be aware of the symptoms that may indicate a potentially dangerous issue to safeguard your health.

Construction safety challenges and opportunities at design stage for building industry in Pakistan

The implementation of Design for Construction Safety (DfCS) at the early design phase can proactively identify and address potential hazards in construction projects. By integrating safety considerations into the design process, it becomes possible to eliminate or minimize risks before they become costly and dangerous issues can also be avoided during construction. To gain insights into the current practices and barriers faced by professionals in the construction industry of Pakistan regarding DfCS, a comprehensive study was conducted. This study utilized a combination of questionnaire-based surveys and interviews to gather data from various stakeholders involved in the design and construction processes. The research revealed that DfCS was absent in the standard design practice. The weaknesses identified for the implementation of DfCS were designers’ inevitable doubts about increasing cost, schedule problems, absence of contracts and regulations, designers’ lack of safety knowledge and skills. The largest influential factors were regulatory liability on the designer (29%) and increasing costs (27%). The study identified that less trained worker were rated 59% for site accidents. 87% of respondents suggested revision of contract and regulations. The study proposed a framework to check constructability with respect to safety standards. Alternative project delivery method i.e., Design Build (DB) was recommended to reduce health and safety accidents and barriers.

Intelligent Dust Monitoring System Based on IoT

Dust is a frequent contributor to health risks and changes in the climate, one of the most dangerous issues facing people today. Desertification, drought, agricultural practices, and sand and dust storms from neighboring regions bring on this issue. Deep learning (DL) long short-term memory (LSTM) based regression was a proposed solution to increase the forecasting accuracy of dust and monitoring. The proposed system has two parts to detect and monitor the dust; at the first step, the LSTM and dense layers are used to build a system using to detect the dust, while at the second step, the proposed Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Internet of Things (IoT) model is used as a forecasting and monitoring model. The experiment DL system train and test part was applied to dust phenomena historical data. Its data has been collected through the Iraqi Meteorological Organization and Seismology (IMOS) raw dataset with 170237 of 17023 rows and 10 columns. The LSTM model achieved small time, computationally complexity of, and layers number while being effective and accurate for dust prediction. The simulation results reveal that the model's mean square error test reaches 0.12877 and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) test is 0.07411 at the same rates of learning and exact features values of vector in the dense layer, representing a neural network layer deeply is connected to the LSTM training proposed model. Finally, the model suggested enhances monitoring performance.

The problem of unemployment is one of the most prominent and dangerous issues that many societies suffer from، regardless of their political، economic، and social systems، and their degree of economic development. It has become one of the major problems that most countries of the world are exposed to، because of its significant effects on the economic، social، and political conditions. For the country، this research aims to investigate the determinants of unemployment over the time period (2004-2021)، by identifying the most important of these determinants، as well as contributing to the economic process and eliminating part of the unemployment rates that Iraq suffers from، which represent a security and economic threat، as The research problem is represented by the continuous rise in unemployment rates. The research is based on the hypothesis that “there is an inverse relationship between economic determinants and unemployment rates.” The study reached many results، the most important of which is the existence of an inverse relationship between inflation rates، gross domestic product، public expenditures، and exchange rates. Trade and unemployment، as well as the existence of a direct relationship between the real interest rate and unemployment. The standard model has concluded that there is a long-term relationship between economic variables and unemployment rates، as well as the existence of a one-way causal relationship between government spending، gross domestic product.،and unemployment.

A Review of Ugo Corte, Dangerous Fun: The Social Lives of Big Wave Surfers. Chicago, IL: The University of Chicago Press, 2022, 272 pp.

This ethnographic study of big wave surfing in WaimeaBay in Hawai’i by the Italian sociologist Ugo Corte discovers how this extreme sport involving risk-taking activity is performed interactively. The data from observations and interviews are interpreted in terms of the theory of interaction ritual, which claims that the key to understanding these group activities is the notion of emotional energy generated as result of the social interaction. Unlike his predecessors Еrving Goffman and Randall Collins, Ugo Corte does not proceed from theory, but from his empirical material, for the interpretation of which he uses comparisons with somewhat similar phenomena from different fields, from other sports to creative industries. However, the book’s theoretical framework is Collins’s thesis on affect as a driving force of social order, from which the ideas emerge about how the focus of emotion and attention in joint activity generates group solidarity. The book illustrates how a sociologist and anthropologist can address the issues of risk and danger, and also shows the ways in which modern interactionist sociology, armed with post-Goffmanian tools, is developing.

Base Station Switching and Resource Allocation for 5G Heterogenous Networks

Enhanced 4th Generation Wireless Network (4G) is called 5th Generation Wireless Network (5G) as it helps in increasing the data rate, capacity and therefore energy efficiency and spectral efficiency of 5G network, in 5G massive MIMO, multiple numbers of antennas are used to transmit the signal with same timefrequency to maximise the number of users, who can communicate with less number of channels. Energy conception is the most dangerous issue in all the generations of wireless networks such as traditional firstgeneration to fifth-generation because of interference, eco signals, fading, packet loss, wastage of bandwidth, remaining energy and security like malicious attacks, blocking whole attacks and wormhole attacks. This efficient research work focused energy-efficient resource allocation scheme based on the shortest job first scheduling algorithm in wireless network (SJF) for the downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple accesses (OFDMA) heterogeneous networks (HetNets) developed. To maximize the spectrum allocation efficiency for the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks, frequency reuse-1 is employed. Thus, advanced inter-cell interference coordination techniques are required to mitigate the inter-cell interference for 5G HetNets. In this paper, the energy-efficient optimization problem based on coordinated scheduling is formulated, which is a shortest path problem and link breakage is intractable to solve directly. The above proposed model was analysed using different parameters energy, bandwidth, Quality of Service (QoS) and interference.

Steroids Induced Hyperglycemia: Its Effects and Management

Steroids are medications that have been widely utilized for a number of ailments, both acute and chronic. The action of endogenous steroids, nuclear hormones that penetrate cell membranes to bind to certain glucocorticoid receptors in the cytoplasm of target cells to form glucocorticoid-receptor (GR) complexes, is mimicked by synthetic glucocorticoids. The translocated activated GR complex regulates DNA transcription in the cell nucleus. The main factor for drug-induced hyperglycemia is steroids. They not only worsen hyperglycemia in those who already have diabetes mellitus (DM), but they can also lead to DM in people who've not previously experienced it. Their incidence can reach up to 46% of patients, and their glucose levels can rise by up to 68% over baseline. Steroid effects are often narrow and reversible. Drug-induced diabetes is supposed to go away as steroid doses are decreased because their impact on endocrine metabolism returns to normal; however, this is often not the case. The synthesis of lipolysis, proteolysis, and hepatic glucose is increased by glucocorticoids (GCs) because they act as a substrate for oxidative stress metabolism. A wide range of medical conditions has been treated with GCs. Although steroid-induced hyperglycemia has been proven to be medically effective, it is still a widespread and potentially dangerous issue that must be taken into consideration when administering any GC dose. The most common scenario requires the use of insulin, particularly when the serum glucose level is greater than 200 mg/dL.

ASSESSMENT OF THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL SITUATION (SOLOTVYNO)

An analysis of existing modern ecological problems of the territory of the village was carried Solotvyno, namely: intensive development of deep karst; changes in the hydrogeological regime; violation of the integrity of the salt massif and its destruction with corresponding deformations of suprasalt deposits and surface relief. Analyzed the dynamics of depression formation on the earth's surface within the township. Solotvyno, the dynamics of the expansion of the reservoir area. The methodological aspect of the assessment toolkit of the integrated ecological and technological situation within the Solotvyno territory has been developed. The indicator of transformation in time and space, the index of detection of relative changes in the environment in relation to the development of suffusion-karst processes, which must be taken into account when solving issues of ecological danger, and the normalization of indicators of surface water pollution in the form of a pollution index (I zabr) was made due to the assessment of the chemical components of surface waters of the studied area based on the method of normalization of actual concentrations of monitoring data in the calculation to the MPC. Spatio-temporal maps of the levels of indices of detection of relative changes in the environment (transformation) have been created in the form of cartograms with reference to the area. The index of detection of relative changes in the environment is proposed to be defined as the ratio of the area of transformation for several periods of time, using space monitoring technologies (Landsat 7 satellite images) and performing calculations with the help of Google Earth software, GIS modeling and statistical calculations. It has been established that due to the construction of isolated basins, which local residents fill with oil pumped from the pits above the mines, the complex of significant long-term irreversible changes in the environment increases, which leads to the destruction of the balance in the natural and man-made system and to significant negative consequences. Water withdrawal in modern times provokes the activation of suffusion-karst processes due to the increase in the radius of the depression funnel of the "big well" and contributes to the increase in the area of water catchments. A decrease in the level of the stationary water surface in the lakes above the mines under the condition of pumping creates the conditions for an additional inflow of water from the aeration zone and groundwater into the sinkholes due to the establishment of the level. The formation on the earth's surface of such forms of relief as gouges, sinkholes and displacement funnels flooded with water do not look stable during the period of research (2014-2020). According to the results of modeling the transformation index, it was established that the areas of the listed landforms have increased almost 15 times. It was established that the highest indicator of the first in some areas belongs to chlorine (Cl). That is, the dissolution of salts is prolonged. 

The impact of Philosophy and Critical Thinking as ‘Intellectual Immunity’ in Deterring Violence Thought

This research proposes philosophy as an intellectual immunity and a way to open up to others in order to prevent violence discussed. Therefore, the research is a serious philosophical attempt to discuss one of the dangerous issues that contemporary man suffers from, which is terrorism and violence extremism. The philosophical approach to this issue is analysis and criticism, and then the alternative available to it. Secondly, the research deals with the interpretation of the role of philosophy in how to deal with crises by presenting keyconcepts and ideas stemming from the great philosophers. The new interpretation that the researcher offers to philosophy is that philosophy is an intellectual and preventive deterrent to extremism and terrorism. In other words; Philosophical thinking is tantamount to digging up the wrong intellectual and logical foundations on which extremism and terrorism are based. By presenting the alternative, and the effort is not focused only on denouncing or rhetorically denouncing the issue. The research is an answer to the questions that are often asked: What is the role of philosophy in dealing with the crises that contemporary man is going through? Can critical philosophical thought be an intellectual and mental skill to reduce the effects of extremist thought or weaken the tendency toward extremism? Can the extremist person be intellectually deformed and mentally ill, or are there other things behind him? Through this question, the researcher goes deep into Greek philosophy, especially Stoicism, and defines philosophy through the role or function it plays in dealing with the problem of terrorism and extremism.

Detecting Driver Sleepiness using Convolutional Neural Networks

The development in computer vision has aided drivers in the form of automatic self-driving cars etc. The accidents are caused by driver's exhaustion and drowsiness about 20%. Its carriages a dangerous issue for which numerous methods were proposed. However, they are not appropriate for real-time implementation. The major encounters confronted by these approaches are forcefulness to handle dissimilarity in human face and lightning conditions. Our intention is to implement a smart operating system that can lower the rate of road accidents considerably. This method enables us to find driver's face features like eye closure percentage, eye-mouth aspect ratios, blink rate, yawning, head movement, etc. In this classification, the driver is uninterruptedly observed by using a webcam. The car driver’s facial features along with the eye movements are observed using a cascade classifier. Eye images are pull out and fed to Custom designed Convolutional Neural Network for categorizing whether both left and right eye are closed. Based on the sorting, the eye closure score is considered. Upon finding that the driver is being detected drowsy that a high alarm will be raised.

Male Police involved Intimate Partner Violence: Is it more Dangerous than Abuse by Civilians? An Argumentative Analysis

In the wake of the killing of George Floyd, Canadian and US policing has received mass scrutiny. These violent police behavior is currently prompting questions about the appropriate use of force by police officers. Police use of force usually focuses on police officer’s brutality in their official capacity, but there is a lack of empirical data on brutality and abuse perpetrated by police against their intimate partners in their private family lives. Although police officers are more likely than civilians to abuse their partners, the power and training provided to police officers by the state make them significantly more dangerous as domestic violence perpetrators. “Feminist theory” and “Hegemonic Masculinity theory” have been applied to understand the power and control that police officers have due to their training, which causes them to be considered more violent and dangerous for their families, especially for their intimate partners. To support the argument, three key themes have emerged: police abusers are skilled abusers; victims face a tremendous struggle to report the abuse; and available support systems for the victims of police abusers sometimes not adequate for them. Finally, some policy implications have been provided to address this problematic and potentially more dangerous issue.

МЕТОДОЛОГІЯ МІНІМІЗАЦІЇ ЮРИДИЧНИХ РИЗИКІВ У МІСТІ

The article deals with methodological aspects of avoiding and reducing legal risks in the city. Legal problems are raised, which have an impact on the harmonious development of the city. Issues of danger for life of city-dwellers are considered. Appeal to theoretical problems of the methodology of risks is caused by the desire to investigate in which direction modern law develops on the way to regulate modern relations of safety in the city. The emphasis is on the methodology of legal risks, in that deep and broad sense, which helps not only in finding the criteria of delimitation of spheres of public and private law as well as subjective rights of participants of the relevant social relations, but also in the formation of our knowledge of a holistic picture on the way of security events in the city. The question of the ratio of approaches of risk definition is revealed at the interdisciplinary level. It is noted that the theory of private law gives quite comprehensive answers to the question of determining the risk, its legal nature and the relationship with the institution of responsibility. Using the methodological component, it is indicated those logical steps aim at fully avoiding or minimizing risks.

Design and Crashworthiness Analysis of Rear Underrun Protection Device

Each year, thousands of people are passed away due to car accidents. Although technological improvements provided for passenger safety day by day, collision be-tween passenger car and heavy vehicles are still the most dangerous issue. In this pa-per, a new rear underrun protection device was designed. Three different support bracket thicknesses that vary with 4-6 mm whereas investigated and their crash performance and structural integrity were compared to each other. RUPD finite element models were created and analysed for Dodge Neon (1996) collided at 63 km/h vehicle impact speed under full overlap crash scenario. Abaqus/Explicit dynamic analysis that is special tool for highly non-linear Dynamics phenomenon was used for the analyses. Axial deformations, plastic strains, and axial displacement of right seat accelerometer were obtained and compared to evaluating of each design. The optimum support bracket thickness was determined for the new developed RUPD against vehicle colli-sion. The results were also compared to the ref[13] and it is seen that they were good agreement.

Comprehensive program of psychotherapeutic support of combatants with alcohol addiction

Introduction. The combatants develop anxious alertness, the perception of the environment as potentially dangerous, the impulsive response increases, and the personality structure is affected. All this leads to a change in behavior and, most often, to alcoholization of this demographic group. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, we examined 96 men who were treated in the psychiatry and narcology clinic of the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Northern Region. According to the diagnostic criteria of ICD-10, they suffered from alcohol dependence: 31.9% of respondents – alcohol abstinence, 22.6% – abstinence in conditions precluding use, 29.2% – constant use, 16.3 % – occasional use. The treatment group (patients who took part in rehabilitation program) included 56 people. The control group consisted of 40 people who received standard treatment regulated in the hospital. The style of alcohol abuse with a high degree of reliability correlated with the issues of danger to physical, psychological and mental health. Dangerous alcohol consumption was found in 55.2% of the participants, a high probability of alcohol dependence was found in 44.8% of respondents. Results. The clinical picture of alcohol dependence was characterized by loss of situational control, palimpsests, dysphoria, affective reactions, anxiety and depressive disorders and asthenic manifestations. Against the background of the use of the developed comprehensive program of psychotherapeutic support in 45.1% of the members of the main group and 32.6% of control group patients demonstrated coping strategies aimed at addressing the challenges; 31.4% and 22.4% of the treatment and control groups, respectively, demonstrated coping strategies aimed at emotions; in 15.9% and 32.6% of patients coping strategies were designed to avoid stress; in 6.7% and 12.4% in the above mentioned groups respectively – coping strategies aimed at the distraction. Conclusions. As a result of the implementation of the comprehensive program of psychotherapeutic support for combatants with alcohol addiction, it is expected that the quality of medical care for combatants will improve. Keywords: psychotherapy, comprehensive treatment, combatants, alcoholism.
