COMPARISON OF FREEWAY SPACE DISTANCE OF WILLIS METHOD WITH DIGITAL PHOTO ANALYSIS METHOD IN BANJAR TRIBE

Background: The face's vertical dimension or vertical height is the distance between two anatomical points, namely the points on the maxilla and mandible. In measuring the vertical dimension, vertical dimensions of rest (DVR) and vertical dimensions of occlusion (DVO) must be measured. The difference between the vertical dimension of rest (DVR) and the vertical dimension of occlusion (DVO) is called the freeway space (FWS) or interocclusal distance. Freeway space is a key requirement for optimal comfort and function of a partial or complete denture. Each individual's freeway space distance is the movement of muscle function, which can be measured by direct methods such as the Willis method using calipers and the digital photo analysis method using computer software. Two measurement methods can be used to measure freeway space distance direct and indirect. Purpose: To analyze the difference between freeway space distance measured by the Willis method and by digital photo analysis of Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw graphic design software in the Banjar tribe (a review of students at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Lambung Mangkurat Banjarmasin). Methods: This study is a quantitative study with an analytic observational method and a cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted by collecting data simultaneously at one time by comparing three different methods on the same sample without being given any treatment. Results: One Way ANOVA test is 0.296 (P>0.05) which means there is no significant difference. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the results of measuring freeway space distance using the Willis method with a digital caliper and digital photo analysis with Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw software.

DISCOVERY OF A NEW MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURE IN FORENSIC MEDICINE DURING THE STUDY OF GUNSHOT INJURY USING THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING OF THE WOUND CHANNEL

The use of spatial three-dimensional modeling of the main elements of a gunshot injury plays a significant part in the modern forensic medical examination. It allows not only to improve the visualization of such bodily injuries, to increase the objectivity and validity of expert conclusions, to accumulate an evidence basis for war crimes committed with the use of various types of firearms, but it also helps to discover new morphological features which couldn’t be detected when using traditional research methods. The work shows the process of detecting a new morphological feature during three-dimensional modeling of the wound channel caused by the IJ 70-01 pistol loaded with 9 mm cartridges.
 Aim of the work. Demonstration of new possibilities of three-dimensional spatial modeling in the process of the forensic investigation of a gunshot wound.
 Materials and methods. To achieve the aim of study, a series of experimental shots were fired from the IJ 70-01 automatic pistol loaded with 9 mm cartridges. To conduct bench ballistic tests according to the US standards – NIJ (National Institute of Justice), HOSDB (Home Office Scientific Development Branch) – standardized ballistic clay Roma Plastilina No.1 was used as the main material that absorbs the energy of the bullet and reproduces all the elements of wound ballistics. It was coated in pig skin with subcutaneous adipose tissue in order to recreate more true-to-life conditions of the gunshot injury. The generated wound channel was filled with Tropicalgin alginate impression material (Zhermack, Italy), which was mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions; it has short setting time and reproduces the smallest details of the wound channel. Thereafter, the formed cast of the wound channel was subjected to a series of photographs at the appropriate angles and its 3D model was created with the help of the graphic design software “Agisoft PhotoScan” and “3ds max”.
 Results. The result of the conducted studies was obtaining a spatial three-dimensional model of the gunshot wound channel, which brings about new opportunities for its research. The implementation of three-dimensional modeling techniques made it possible to discover a new morphological feature – a helical torsion of the wound channel, the direction of which can indicate specific design features of the firearm used.
 Conclusions. The implementation of three-dimensional spatial modeling in the process of a gunshot trauma investigation sets conditions for increasing visibility and objectivity during conduction of such forensic medical examinations. At the same time, new opportunities are brought about for taking linear dimensions of the existing morphological features of the wound channel main elements with extended precision, the accumulation of demonstrative evidence basis in cases of such injuries, and the discovery of new morphological features for identification of the specific design features of the firearm used.

Development and simulation of the Feed Pusher Robot software and hardware system for the maintenance of the feed table at livestock facilities

BACKGROUND: Analysis of trends in the development of industrial technologies in the field of agriculture showed that manufacturers of technological equipment used on farms turn to robotics to exclude human labor when performing labor-intensive cyclical operations that are accompanied by a high degree of tension. To perform operations for the preparation and distribution of feed on a farm, maintenance of the feed table, as well as for manure harvesting, it is necessary to use a wheeled robotic platform with an automatic positioning system.
 AIMS: Development and testing of the software and hardware system of the Feed Pusher robot for the autonomous execution of operations for the maintenance of the feed table at livestock facilities.
 METHODS: Wheeled robot motion simulation, as well as a mathematical description of the kinematic and dynamic properties of the wheeled robot motion was carried out using the MATLAB software and the Simscape library and the Simulink application. The Figma graphic design software was used to develop layouts of mobile software interfaces for the wheeled robot remote control.
 RESULTS: During the wheeled robot motion simulation, direct and inverse kinematics problems were solved, consisting in finding theω1,ω2, vectors with the input parameters x0,y0,φ0,x,y,φ, as well as the final angle of the path (relative to the horizontal). Layouts of the robot remote control software interfaces have been developed, as well as the frontend and backend development of the program adapted to the use at a smartphone has been carried out. The testing of the wheeled robot was carried out at a livestock facility, during the maintenance of the feed table and the simultaneous execution of operations to push the feed to the fence and dosing of feed additives.
 CONCLUSIONS: The practical value of the research lies in the possibility of using the results of the wheeled robot motion simulation to adjust the operation of the automatic positioning system. At the same time, the farmer using the proposed Feed Pusher robot will ensure an increase in the technological efficiency of cattle keeping, in particular dairy cattle, with an increase in milk yields up to 1 liter per day per head, which was determined during the tests on the farm.

Revolutionizing Motor Health: IoT-Driven Detection of Electrical Abnormalities in Three-Phase A.C. Induction Motors

This paper presented a comprehensive investigation into the detection of electrical abnormalities in a 3-phase alternating current (AC) induction motor (IM) rated at 1.5 kW under simulated single phasing and overloading test conditions. The findings from data analysis on electrical abnormalities simulated physically on an IM were reported, employing a non-invasive technique. Sensors were deployed to monitor the IM and measurements were taken. The data logging and control were designed using an industrial-grade graphical system design software, LabVIEW, and NI PXIe-1071 embedded controller hardware. A novel combination of in-situ on-line current measurements, infrared temperature detection, and 3-axes micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers were utilized for measurements. The paper described an internet of things (IoT) monitoring system capable of alerting the operator of the motor to any electrical abnormalities. Experimental results suggested that an IM subjected to single phasing experienced observable z-plane vibration, with a standard deviation of 0.24 G. For overload tests (i.e., 50 Hz and 30 Hz) on the IM based on the national electrical manufacturers association (NEMA) standard, the percentage of heating ranged between 103.98% and 109.67%, respectively; however, no significant increase in z-plane vibrations was observed.

Technology Adoption Among Town Planners in Malaysia

The integration of technology in the planning practices of the Malaysian construction industry has significantly transformed how planners approach the development process. The objective of this research is to examine the extent to which technology has been adopted in planning practices in Malaysia. To accomplish this, a mixed methods approach was used, which involved distributing an electronic survey form to the members of the Malaysian Institute of Planners(MIP). The study has revealed three important findings.Firstly, for software adoption rates, the majority of respondents used basic storage, communication, CAD, graphic design, and GIS software with varying skill levels. On the other hand, hardware adoption rates were lower, likely due to financial constraints, and most respondents had average skills in operating GPS, drones, remote sensing, cloud computing, and 3D printing hardware. Secondly, the annual budget for most organisations was below RM30,000, with software subscriptions accounting for the largest budget allocation. Lastly, financial resources, a lack of skilled workers, and network constraints were identified as the biggest challenges faced by planning agenciesin adopting technology. The research suggests that providing grants for technology adoption for small firms and local authorities, standardisation of systems, and flexible data sharing can increase productivity in planning activities across agencies. In summary, planners must adapt to technology due to the increasing demand for new development. Effectivedata management is required for decision-making. Malaysia’sgovernment and planners are willing to adopt technology for increased productivity, and recent developments such as I-Plan and OSC 3.0 Plus Online demonstrate a commitment to data-driven decision-making. There is still much to learn and improve for planners in the public and private sectors to contribute to the success of the construction industry in Malaysia.

Midjourney Killed the Photoshop Star: Assembling the Emerging Field of Synthography

With the release of artificial intelligence image-generation platforms to the broader public in 2022, there is an opportunity to evaluate how image-making practices may change and speculate how graphic design software, such as Photoshop, may evolve. Using a methodology of assemblage, a relational study of Photoshop and Midjourney is gathered to produce a synthetic ethnography of these agentic forces within the larger synthographic assemblage. Outputs and practices of using these two software platforms are offered to see contrasts and continuities to understand the collaborative impacts to postdigital art and education using software agents. Consideration for these computational cofigurations counteract false narratives of the new and offer creatives, educators, and learners within this social ontology grounds for ethical praxis while maintaining a relational understanding of postdigital creative expression.

The perceptions of high school teachers and students towards digital interest and literacy

The increased application of information and communication technology (ICT) in society promotes its use in education to align instructional content with students’ interests and future working lives. To achieve this, the human resources within education institutions must possess the ability to utilize technology and understand the students’ capabilities. This descriptive study was conducted to establish the profile of students’ and teachers’ interests and perceived digital literacy abilities in high schools and their equivalents. An online questionnaire was used to collect data from West Java, West Kalimantan, and Jakarta high schools. The gathered data were processed with a simple quantitative technique. The data analysis collected by the questionnaire indicates that the respondents have a relatively high perception of digital literacy levels (encompassing operational, information, communication, strategic, and creative abilities), with some relatively low aspects, such as expressing opinions and creating things with ICT. Furthermore, it was also found that respondents exhibit a strong interest in using digital devices for learning, with video games, video processing programs, and graphic design software occupying the three least used digital media in schools but most desired by the respondents for integration.

Design and development of a magnetic field-enabled platform for delivering polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles to breast cancer cells

The current literature mostly contains relatively vague descriptions of techniques for implementing in vitro magnetic targeting delivery of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), leading to irreproducible processes and incomparable findings. This discrepancy often arises from the varying exposure of IONPs to the non-uniform magnetic field and differences in the concentration of the polymer-coated IONPs. Hence, we meticulously designed and built a system comprising a platform constructed from polyoxymethylene sheets, which securely holds the permanent magnets, and the cell culture plate. We also tailored the preparation process of the IONPs and the in vitro toxicity studies. The inherent characteristics of IONPs are further enhanced by their coating with natural polymers, alginate (Alg) and chitosan (CS).•The design and construction of the platform were carried out using a laser engraving/cutting machine along with graphic design software. The precise locations of the permanent magnets relative to the cell culture plate were determined via a Gaussmeter.•The quantities of the components in the formulation and the method for fabricating the CS/Alg-coated IONPs (CS/Alg-IONPs) were optimized to ensure that the desired physicochemical properties were obtained.•The cultivation and cytotoxicity evaluation of the fabricated CS/Alg-IONPs against MCF-7 breast cancer cells were described.

Towards More Gender-Inclusive Q&As

Online Question and Answer communities (Q&As) are popular spaces for learning and sharing knowledge. However, prior research suggests that Q&As may not be appealing to and inclusive of men and women, with absent social considerations listed as a potential contributing factor. We investigate how additional community presence information can affect users' perceptions of and engagement with a Q&A for graphic design software. Through a 10-day task-based field study with 30 participants (14 women, 14 men, 2 non-binary), we uncover how community presence information can humanize the Q&A and play a role in promoting an inclusive environment. On the other hand, some participants question if community presence information belongs in a Q&A and describe some privacy implications. The women in our sample also talked about the importance of diverse community demographics, while we did not observe this sentiment expressed by the men. Our findings contribute an understanding of how users perceive the role of community presence information within a Q&A. We also discuss how this information might impact women's future participation and engagement.

Algorithmic Design of 3D Wireframe RNA Polyhedra.

We address the problem of de novo design and synthesis of nucleic acid nanostructures, a challenge that has been considered in the area of DNA nanotechnology since the 1980s and more recently in the area of RNA nanotechnology. Toward this goal, we introduce a general algorithmic design process and software pipeline for rendering 3D wireframe polyhedral nanostructures in single-stranded RNA. To initiate the pipeline, the user creates a model of the desired polyhedron using standard 3D graphic design software. As its output, the pipeline produces an RNA nucleotide sequence whose corresponding RNA primary structure can be transcribed from a DNA template and folded in the laboratory. As case examples, we design and characterize experimentally three 3D RNA nanostructures: a tetrahedron, a triangular bipyramid, and a triangular prism. The design software is openly available and also provides an export of the targeted 3D structure into the oxDNA molecular dynamics simulator for easy simulation and visualization.

PELATIHAN GRAPHIC DESIGN SEBAGAI UPAYA MENINGKATKAN KREATIVITAS ORGANISASI MAHASISWA UNIVERSITAS 'AISYIYAH SURAKARTA

In the current digital and millennial era, the development of the design world is progressing very rapidly. The role of graphic design in all business fields is needed. This can be proven by the many business fields that utilize the expertise of graphic designers. The Student Organization (ORMAWA) is a forum for students to develop their own capacity in the form of positive ideas, appreciation, initiation, creativity and also to accommodate the talents, interests and potentials possessed by students in various relevant activities. In various NGO activities, there are still many ormawa administrators who do not understand graphic design, especially in terms of using graphic design software, namely Photoshop. So that the making of posters, leaflets, brochures, banners and activity banners must be designed with instant templates. Therefore, this training activity was held to provide knowledge to ormawa about the use of graphics processing software for activities that require graphic and photo processing.

Data-Driven Image Interaction-Based Software Infrastructure for Graphic Design Research and Implementation

This article constructs and studies a graphic design software model based on data-driven image interactions. The semantic information of image interaction is integrated into the framework of the augmented reality label placement algorithm. A new feature map, Guidance Map, is proposed to combine image saliency information with semantic information in the task scenario, accurately describing the importance of different regions in the user’s field of view to derive a more reasonable label placement strategy. This database is different from other label placement algorithms that only use data-driven saliency detection. This paper proposes a data-driven augmented reality labeling method, which first presents the design requirements for augmented reality scene labeling placement, then designs the energy function for augmented reality scene characteristics, transforms the labeling placement problem into an optimization problem, and solves it. This paper proposes a feature representation form oriented to pixels, elements, interelement relationships, planes, and applications and quantifies the geometric features, perceptual features, and stylistic features in them. The model can fit the probability density distribution of the parts to predict the optimal element placement and element color under the target conditions.

It is showed a methodology to create models and molds on fiberglass reinforced polyester resin using geometries drawers in graphics design software and impressions in real-scale models using 3D printers. The real application of this exercise is the construction of a structure for photovoltaic panels for solar energy solutions. This methodology allows to optimize manufacturing times with complex geometries. This is innovative in the local industry in Latin America due to the topological optimization obeying a morphological refinement based on natural structures, as well as the palm-bottle design, that is an emblematic tree of the Andean region.

Empirical Risk Assessment in Major Graphical Design Software Systems

Security vulnerabilities have been reported in major design software systems such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, which are recognized as <italic>de facto</italic> standard design tools in most of the design industries. Companies need to evaluate and manage their risk levels posed by those vulnerabilities, so that they could mitigate the potential security bridges in advance. In general, security vulnerabilities are discovered throughout their life cycles repeatedly if software systems are continually used. Hence, in this study, we empirically analyze risk levels for the three major graphical design software systems, namely Photoshop, Illustrator and GIMP with respect to a software vulnerability discovery model. The analysis reveals that the Alhazmi-Malaiya Logistic model tends to describe the vulnerability discovery patterns significantly. This indicates that the vulnerability discovery model makes it possible to predict vulnerability discovery in advance for the software systems. Also, we found that none of the examined vulnerabilities requires even a single authentication step for successful attacks, which suggests that adding an authentication process in software systems dramatically reduce the probability of exploitations. The analysis also discloses that, for all the three software systems, the predictions with evenly distributed and daily based datasets perform better than the estimations with the datasets of vulnerability reporting dates only. The observed outcome from the analysis allows software development managers to prepare proactively for a hostile environment by deploying necessary resources before the expected time of vulnerability discovery. In addition, it can periodically remind designers who use the software systems to be aware of security risk, related to their digital work environments.
