Performance comparison of different convolutional neural networks for vegetable and fruit recognition

Image classification, a significant research problem in the computer vision community, aims to assign different types of images to a certain category in a fixed category set according to different information features reflected in images. With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's daily demand for accurate identification of food categories (such as vegetable, fruit, etc.) is growing. Early vegetable and fruit recognition mostly relied on manual features and machine learning algorithms, with low recognition accuracy and weak generalization ability. Thanks to the rapid evolution of the convolutional neural network, vegetable and fruit recognition based on depth learning has made breakthroughs in accuracy and speed. In this paper, three representative convolutional neural networks are introduced around vegetable and fruit recognition, and their performance differences are quantitatively compared on different data sets to explore the boundaries of their applications. In addition, we summarized the research problems in vegetable and fruit recognition and discussed its future development direction.

Aging and regional productivity growth in Germany

We investigate the effects of aging on regional productivity growth, the mechanisms and the strength of which are not well-understood. We focus on two different manifestations of population aging—workforce aging and an increasing share of retirees—and investigate channels through which aging may impact on regional productivity growth for a panel of German counties 2000–2019. We find that workforce aging is more negatively associated with productivity growth in urban than in nonurban regions. A likely reason is that aging is detrimental to innovative and knowledge-intensive activities, which are heavily concentrated in cities. We also find a negative association between the share of the retired population and productivity growth in regions with a small household services sector. A likely reason is that older people’s disproportionate demand for local household services (including health care, recreation) requires a re-allocation of resources from more productive manufacturing or business services to less productive household services. Regions specialized more in highly productive industries have more to lose in this process.

A Compact History of the OLEDs

People's demand for lighting and display is gradually increasing as society and technology progress. Therefore, the scientific community has been eager to find a new kind of luminescent material suitable for industrial society. The effort paid off, as scientists discovered light conversion and its efficient Organic Light Emitting Diode materials through experiments. These materials can be divided into three distinct generations as a result of continuous updating and iteration: the first-gen (first generation) of fluorescent materials, the second- gen of phosphorescent materials, and the third-gen of TADF. In order to let the public better understand the development history of OLED materials, this paper will focus on the mechanism of different materials to discuss the schemes and introduce some of the latest applications of these materials. At the end of this review, it will illustrate why TADF the third generation of OLED light emitting material is the most promising in terms of practical applications compared with other materials and the vision of the future of OLED.

An expert patient program to improve the empowerment and quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis: protocol for a multicenter pre-post intervention study.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes a progressive disability, which substantially impacts the quality of life (QoL). Health interventions that meet the needs and demands of people with MS are essential to minimize QoL impairment. Expert patient programs (EPPs) facilitate health-related empowerment through peer learning. Based on a previous focus group study, we designed an EPP for MS coordinated by nursing professionals for implementation in the different MS reference units of Catalonia (Southwestern Europe). This study aims to evaluate the effects on quality of life, disease-related knowledge, and self-management related to the health process of the participants of the Expert Patient Program Catalonia™ for people with multiple sclerosis (EPPC-MS). Pre-post intervention multicenter clinical study involving 12 groups of 12 participants: six groups including relapsing and six groups including progressive MS patients, with 144 participants from 7 MS reference units from all over Catalonia, organized in six teams. The intervention will consist of nine telematic learning peer-led sessions (one weekly session). The expert patient (EP) leading the sessions will be an individual with MS with disease-related knowledge, who will be further trained by nurses to lead the sessions. Study variables will be measured before and immediately after the intervention and 6 and 12 months after the end of the sessions and will include: QoL, emotional impact, activation of the person, MS-related knowledge, fatigue, habits and lifestyles, health services use, and program-related experience. Baseline characteristics considered will be sociodemographic data, date of MS diagnosis and type, family history, and treatment characteristics. Variables related to disease follow-up will be new relapses and characteristics and changes in the ongoing treatment. The number of sessions attended will also be collected. Study variables will be analyzed using a pre-post comparison. Peer-led learning programs led by EP help empower people with chronic conditions and offer them tools to improve their autonomy and QoL. This study's intervention will be performed remotely, offering advantages both for people with chronic conditions and the healthcare system regarding the facilitation of family and work conciliation, saving time, simplifying attendance to meetings, lowering costs, and using fewer material resources.

An Ontology as Support for Specification of Non-functional Requirements of AAL Systems Considering Compliance Aspects

Abstract Ambient assisted living (AAL) is a technological approach that emerged to meet the demands of seniors and people with disabilities. Because they are considered complex and multidisciplinary systems, it is necessary to identify and define which elements need to compose these systems. These challenges and the need for assistance in specifying requirements have led the academic community to explore and establish new approaches for the development of AAL systems. For this, there is the integration of different areas of knowledge, such as ontology, requirements engineering and compliance. Therefore, this work presents a central ontology to support the specification of requirements in AAL systems, where the elements that are part of the type of system are integrated. With the use of this ontology, it was possible to develop a domain ontology for vertical elevation platforms, where a validation was carried out with the industry in relation to the elements that constitute it and, later, a scenario was built to verify the syntactic correction of ontology. With the use of ontology, it will be possible to standardize the understanding of the associated terms and, at the same time, verify the relationships between the elements and help the designer in the requirements specification stage.

Discussion on the "Freedom to Strike" in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China

This paper will discuss the issue of strike freedom in China's legal practice. A strike is a collective refusal of work by workers in protest. With the advent of the era of bourgeois revolution, the contradiction between capitalists and their employed workers increased rapidly and became the principal contradiction of society. The working class, which directly creates social value, is increasingly impoverished and unfairly treated. The workers spontaneously rebelled against the capitalist oppressors in various ways. Strikes, as a form of workers' struggle, also appeared in that era. The strike also received warm reviews from Marx and Engels. As the most representative socialist country in the world, the right to strike in the People's Republic of China is not allowed and recognized by law, which leads to a lack of reasonable ways for many workers to defend their rights and interests. This led to a series of social problems and unstable factors, how the development of the rule of law of the Chinese government at the end of the 20th century is related to today's rule of law pattern, and how the Chinese government's attitude towards the strike has changed since the 1950s, all of which need to be discussed and studied. In addition, the thesis focuses on the ordinary working class in China, focuses on the basic demands of the Chinese people, and discusses the right to strike from the perspective of the people.

From the Margins of the Field or the Midan

Abstract This article introduces the concept of the affective register of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution that captures three affective states. Namely: (1) The making of ‘The People’ in the famous slogan, “The people demand the downfall of the regime”. An affective state that reflects the coming together of people from diverse political backgrounds, religious affiliations, socio-economic classes, and across the classic gender divide, not just as materiality, but also as a feeling expressed by many. (2) The breaking of fear, and (3) the expansion of political imaginaries of the possible in a repressive postcolonial state. Empirically, the article explores the narrative of Gerges who was 22 during the revolution, a Coptic young man from the popular neighborhood of Shubra in Cairo to tell the story of the Midan from its margins. The article details his participation in the revolution, how he experienced the Midan, and what he witnessed in Shubra as people started attacking police stations and tried to enact their version of street justice.

An Empirical Study on the Driving Factors of Financial Management Behavior of the Middle-Aged and Elderly Based on Logistic Model

With the rapid development of economy and society, people's demand and participation in investment and financial management are also gradually increasing. With the advent of an aging society, the participation of the middle-aged and elderly people in investment and financial management behavior is also gradually increasing, but so far, there is still a large space for development. This paper takes the middle-aged and elderly people as the research object, analyzes the basic situation of the middle-aged and elderly people's investment and financial decision-making through the literature analysis method, collects the specific data of the factors affecting the investment and financial decision-making through the questionnaire survey, and uses the logistic model and other methods to analyze the data. Finally, the regression analysis results show that age, financial knowledge, herding, risk preference and future expectation will have a significant impact on the investment and financial decision-making of the elderly. Through this research, this paper hopes to provide relevant financial institutions with opinions and references related to products, help the middle-aged and elderly people avoid the risk of financial fraud, and make a certain contribution to the development of financial market and the improvement of the participation of the middle-aged and elderly people in investment and financial management.

НЕБЕЗПЕКА ВИКОРИСТАННЯ АВТОНОМНИХ СУДЕН

The increasing automation of navigation is a key trend in the modern world, but it also poses significant challenges and risks for maritime safety. However, the use of terms such as ‘remote operation’, ‘automation’, ‘autonomy’, ‘artificial intelligence’, ‘unmanned ships’, ‘autonomous ships’, ‘cyber-enabled ships’, and ‘smart ships’ has created significant terminological confusion. This article is devoted to a generalized concept of autonomous vessels and their potential risks. This may lead to misunderstandings and inconsistencies in this area, which, in turn, can create a threat to maritime safety. A necessity of being defined and gaining a detailed explanation of some conceptions related to autonomous navigation exists. Moreover, legal problems should be described. For conceptual basis not only the identification of three different automation elements of the ship are used, but also a legal aspect between an autonomous voyage under the ship`s operator control to an autonomous voyage with limitations is considered. These aspects include legal, technicaltechnological, navigational, safety, economic, cyber-physical, and ecological-technogenic consequences. An autonomous`s volume affects the reduction of crew members onboard. Due to the permanent reduction in the number of ship`s crew members the necessity of IT- technologies is being extended, because (of this reduction) tasks have to be executed remotely, or by the autonomous` level increasing. In addition, the reduction of the quantity of ship`s crew members to zero people demands new requirements of intellectual ship intelligence technologies, even if a ship is intended for permanent distance control. The analysis of the autonomous ship general conception has defined some legal collisions which nowadays do not allow to assume full functioning of pilotless autonomous ships. The article argues that autonomous ships are a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that requires comprehensive and interdisciplinary research and analysis. Keywords: autonomous ships, automation, autonomy, сyber-enabled ships, remote operation, remote operability, safe maneuvering.

Access to origins for persons conceived by donation in France

It was a strong and long-standing demand of people born of gamete donation: to know who is the person who allowed them to come into the world. The French legislator seemed to take this need into account during the last revision of the bioethics law. But if the rules have already changed for donors, for whom anonymity becomes fixed-term, forindividuals born from a donation, access to their origins is far from being guaranteed to this day.

A Study on 'Insul (An Art of Benevolence)': Formation of Korean Medical Ethics in Modern Korea.

"Medicine is an art of benevolence [Kr. 인술 Insul, Ch. Renshu]." This slogan is widely accepted in East Asia, and at least in South Korea, it is generally regarded as an innate medical ethic. However, the original meaning of 'In' (Ch. Ren), which means 'benevolence,' 'humanity,' or simply 'love for one another,' is a Confucian virtue emphasized by Mencius. It is unclear when this Confucian term became the representative medical ethic in South Korea. The term "medical ethic" was not coined until the 19th century in the West (Robert Baker and Laurence B. McCullough, eds. 2009). We often use the terms 'Insul,' 'affection,' 'Hippocratic Oath,' and other related concepts interchangeably, but these words come from different times and have different ideological implications (Shin 2000). This paper examines how 'Insul' has been recreated under the tensions between Western and Eastern Medicine in modern Korea. The arrival of Western medicine caused an existential crisis in traditional Korean medicine. The status of TKM doctors was demoted by the 'Uisaeng Regulation' in 1913 by the JGGK, which aimed to establish a unicameral medical system based on Western medicine. In response, the scientification of Eastern medicine became an inevitable task, and Eastern medicine had to maintain its identity while also modernizing itself to avoid being absorbed into Western medicine. Until the late Joseon period, 'Insul' was rarely used in medicine but rather for political practices. Medical practice was a peripheral way of conducting Ren, the Confucian benevolence. However, TKM rediscovered the concept during the modern era. With the Convention of Korean Uisaeng in October 1915, the TKM community actively used 'Insul' as their identity. At this convention, Governor General Terauchi Mastake used the term to mean traditional medicine and implied that without scientification, 'Insul' would be disused. This address was immediately and widely quoted in TKM journals. TKM doctors and adherents interpreted his address to mean that if they could achieve scientification of TKM, their medical ideal (Insul) would be used in the future. Soon, a number of articles on 'Insul' as a medical ethic were published in newspapers and journals. From the mid-1920s, regardless of whether the doctors practiced East or West medicine, people started to claim that only those who pursued 'Insul' were true medical personnel, and they used this as a criterion for evaluating medical doctors. The people's demand for 'Insul' influenced medicine in general, and Western doctors also linked their medical practices to 'Insul.' This is an interesting example of the localization of Western medicine in Korea. Through the rivalry relationship or interaction between East and West medicine that took place in modern Korea, 'Insul' gradually became a representative term of Korean medical ethics since the mid-1920s. The process took place gradually over a decade, and it has now become firmly established throughout medicine in Korea.

An Empirical Analysis of the Influencing Factors of Chinese People's Consumption Demand under the Double Cycle Pattern

In May 2020, China launched the "double cycle" development strategy to improve the domestic demand structure and the quality of national consumption. Compared with other countries, China's national consumption rate is low and still has great potential for making further progress. Therefore, this paper used sample data from 31 provinces in China from 2016 to 2020 for empirical analysis. Divide national consumption into two categories: survival-oriented and development-oriented, and concentrate on the study of the major influencing factors of national consumption demand. Finally, propose corresponding countermeasures to promote the further development of China's consumer market.

A Study on the Development Strategy of Luckin Coffee Based on Big Data

With the rapid advance of technology, peoples lives are becoming more and more diverse. At the same time, peoples demand for food is not only limited to having enough to eat. Therefore, food companies launch a wide range of products, which need to be marketed to consumers through various channels so as to bring maximum benefits to the company. With the rise of big data and the arrival of the Internet era, traditional marketing strategies have failed to attract the attention of young people. Therefore, companies are in urgent need of innovating in their marketing, satisfying their consumer groups, and following the current cultural trends. Luckin Coffee is a company with classic cases to study. So, this paper analyses the classic cases of this company and comes up with some recommendations for corporate development. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of Luckin Coffee through SWOT analysis and summarize its marking strategies and the reasons for its rapid success.

MnO/C/Sepiolite 3D-network aerogel as electrode material for supercapacitors

With the gradual increase of people's demand for energy, the energy crisis is becoming increasingly severe. A new and efficient energy storage device must be urgently exploited to relieve the pressure brought by the energy crisis. In this paper, MnO/C/Sepiolite aerogel nanocomposites were prepared by supercritical technology and freeze-drying technology as electrode materials for supercapacitors. The morphology of MnO/C aerogel is granular nanospheres, and the particle size of the calcined MnO/C aerogel ranges from 80 nm to 100 nm. Sepiolite with the unique fibrous structure can provide a matrix for MnO/C aerogel to form a stable 3D-network aerogel, and then lead to more active sites to be exposed. As results, the specific capacity of MnO/C/Sepiolite aerogel can reach 103.9 mAh/g, while the specific capacity of MnO/C aerogel is only 55.7 mAh/g at the current density of 1 A/g. Furthermore, the specific capacitance of MnO/C/Sepiolite aerogel can reach 507.4 F/g at the scan rate of 5 mV/s, higher than that of MnO/C aerogel (365.8 F/g). After 1400 cycles of repetitive charge/discharge measurement at 20 A/g current density, it is find that the specific capacitance retention rate of MnO/C/Sepiolite aerogel (98.57% retention) is higher than that of MnO/C aerogel (95.71% retention). Therefore, the problems of particle agglomeration of MnO/C active substances and low degree of active site exposure were effectively improved by the introduction of sepiolite.

The role of lay beliefs about willpower and daily demands in day-to-day pro-environmental behavior

Many people report pro-environmental attitudes but fail to integrate pro-environmental behavior into their daily lives. One reason might be that other high demands in daily life (e.g., from work) make people vulnerable to the temptation to choose easier, but environmentally unfriendly options. Research from other domains indicates that believing that one's willpower is nonlimited facilitates adhering to one's intentions, especially in the context of high demands. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of these lay beliefs about willpower and daily demands in the environmental context. The hypotheses were (1) that a nonlimited willpower belief would be related to more engagement in day-to-day pro-environmental behavior and (2) that this effect would be stronger on days with high demands. Participants (N = 387) of an online daily dairy study reported their lay beliefs about willpower and their daily demands and pro-environmental behavior over three days. Results confirmed that a nonlimited willpower belief was related to more pro-environmental behavior, mainly because it facilitated sustained pro-environmental behavior on more demanding days. Additionally, we found that people who faced more demands across the entire study period engaged in less pro-environmental behavior irrespective of their willpower belief. These results indicate the relevance of demands and willpower beliefs in pro-environmental behavior. Future studies should examine their causal relationship and might inform future interventions to promote pro-environmental behavior (e.g., suggesting targeting people's demands and their willpower beliefs).

Indoor non-uniform environmental characteristics of local convection heating and its background radiation field correction

Insufficient partial heating based on the actual thermal demand of people or spaces becomes a revolutionary approach to reducing energy consumption. However, current research on local heating is case-specific and lacks standardized and unified guidelines for describing the formation of non-uniform indoor environments. In this paper, the local temperature imbalance rate and Part-Air Diffusion Performance Index (P-ADPI) parameters are proposed for multidimensional evaluation of indoor non-uniform environment characteristics. On the basis of the characteristic parameters, a unified indoor environment characterization partition was performed in the study. The results indicate that an increase in air supply temperature and air supply velocity could enlarge the characteristic core area and transition area. The intervention of background radiation conditions could intensify the inhomogeneity of the indoor environment, but it would have a minimal impact on the classification of the environment. The background radiation condition was incorporated into the characteristic boundary function model as a correction factor, and the correction factors for determining the background radiation temperature, position and the area fall within the ranges of 0.97–1.44, 0.82–1.01 and 0.98–1.10. This study has provided the groundwork for future studies on the local convection heating and the creation of a non-uniform indoor environment.
