Estimation of Infrared Stellar Flux Based on Star Catalogs with I-GWO for Stellar Calibration

As on-orbit space cameras evolve toward larger apertures, wider fields of view, and deeper cryogenic environments, achieving absolute radiometric calibration using an all-optical path blackbody reference source in orbit becomes increasingly challenging. Consequently, stars have emerged as a novel in-orbit standard source. However, due to differences in camera bands, directly obtaining the stellar radiance flux corresponding to specific camera bands is not feasible. In order to address this challenge, we propose a method for estimating radiance flux based on the MSX star catalog, which integrates a dual-band thermometry method with an improved grey wolf optimization (I-GWO) algorithm. In an experiment, we analyzed 351 stars with temperatures ranging from 4000 to 7000 K. The results indicate that our method achieved a temperature estimation accuracy of less than 10% for 83.5% of the stars, with an average estimation error of 5.82%. Compared with previous methods based on star catalogs, our approach significantly enhanced the estimation accuracy by 75.4%, improved algorithm stability by 91.3%, and reduced the computation time to only 3% of that required by other methods. Moreover, the on-orbit star calibration error using our stellar radiance flux estimation method remained within 5%. This study effectively leveraged the extensive data available in star catalogs, providing substantial support for the development of an infrared star calibration network, which holds significant value for the in-orbit calibration of large-aperture cameras. Future research will explore the potential applicability of this method across different spectral bands.

Understanding the Meaning of Liberalism from the Maudhu'i Interpretation Perspective in the Qur'an

Liberalism is an epistemological ideology that aims to promote social progress and expand the boundaries of individual freedom. Humans are free to think as they please and behave as they please. However, the freedom in question is responsible because a liberal social order cannot be formed without a responsible mindset. A liberal social order cannot be formed without a responsible mindset.

Gender Equality within Family in Islamic Perspective: Insights from The Hadiths of Ummul Mukminin

The concept of gender equality is crucial in reinforcing societal foundations and addressing issues of injustice. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding gender equality within the context of families, recognized as one of society'smost influential institutions. By exploring gender dynamics within the family, this research draws on the Hadith, which encapsulates historical records and narratives from the Prophet Muhammad's life in a patriarchal Arab society. Despite societal norms, the Prophet’s Hadith texts, driven by principles of equality and justice, advocate for equal relationships between men and women, sparking considerable debate and protest from his contemporaries. The significance of Hadith texts from Ummul Mukminin (the Mothers of the Believers) in discussing gender relations within the family lies in their potential to serve as a reference source. Utilizing content analysis as a methodology, this research provides a comprehensive examination of relevant Hadiths and their implications for modern gender equality within the family. The findings highlight the Prophet’s dedication to creating a model of marital relations based on mutual respect, compassion, and equality. The study positions these texts as guides for families, helping them reinforce their functions and internalize equality values, contributing to the formation of a maslahah family—a family governed by principles prioritizing societal well-being.

Recent Advances in Organic Small-Molecule Fluorescent Probes for the Detection of Zinc Ions (Zn2+).

Zinc(II) ions (Zn2g) play crucial roles in the growth, propagation, and metabolism of animals, plants, and humans. Abnormal concentrations of Zn2+ in the environment and living organisms pose potential risks to environmental protection and human health. Therefore, it is imperative to develop rapid, reliable and in-situ detection methods for Zn2+in both environmental and biological contexts. Furthermore, effective analytical methods are required for diagnosing diseases and understanding physiological metabolic mechanisms associated with Zn2+concentration levels. Organic small-molecule fluorescent probes offer advantages such as fast, reliable, convenient, non-destructive detection capabilities and have significant application potential in Zn2+ detection and bioimaging; thus garnering extensive attention. Over the past two years alone, various organic small-molecule probes for Zn2+ based on different detection mechanisms and fluorophores have been rapidly developed. However, these probes still exhibit several limitations that need further resolution. In light of this context, we provide a comprehensive summary of the detection mechanisms, performance characteristics, and application scope of Zn2+ fluorescence probes since year 2022 while highlighting their advantages. We also propose solutions to address existing issues with these probes and outline future directions for their advancement. This review aims to serve as a valuable reference source offering insights into the development of advanced organic small-molecule-based fluorescence probes specifically designed for detecting Zn2+.

The Promising Potential of Cold Atmospheric Plasma Therapies

The outstanding properties and chemistry of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) are not sufficiently understood due to their relatively complex systems and transient properties. In this paper, we tried to present a detailed review of the applications of CAP in modern medicine, highlighting the biochemistry of this phenomenon. Due to its unique characteristics, CAP has emerged as a promising tool in various medical applications. CAP, as a partially—or fully ionized—gas-retaining state of quasi-neutrality, contains many particles, such as electrons, charged atoms, and molecules displaying collective behaviour caused by Coulomb interactions. CAP can be generated at atmospheric pressure, making it suitable for medical settings. Cold plasma’s anti-microbial properties create an alternative method to antibiotics when treating infections. It also enhances cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, leading to accelerated tissue regeneration. CAP can also be a powerful tool in anti-tumour therapies, stem cell proliferation, dental applications, and disease treatment, e.g., neurology. It is our belief that this article contributes to the deeper understanding of cold plasma therapy and its potential in medicine. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the potential of this relatively novel approach as a promising treatment modality. By covering a range of various biomedical fields, we hope to provide a comprehensive overview of CAP applications for multiple medical conditions. In order to gain further insight into the subject, we attempted to gather crucial research and evidence from various studies, hopefully creating a compelling argument in favour of CAP therapy. Our aim is to highlight the innovative aspects of CAP therapy where traditional methods may have limitations. Through this article, we intend to provide a convenient reference source for readers engaged in the examination of CAP’s potential in medicine.

Novel Approaches for Aligning Geospatial Vector Maps

Abstract. The surge in data across diverse fields presents an essential need for advanced techniques to merge and interpret this information. With a special emphasis on compiling geospatial data, this integration is crucial for unlocking new insights from geographic data, enhancing our ability to map and analyze trends that span across different locations and environments with more authenticity and reliability. Existing techniques have made progress in addressing data fusion; however, challenges persist in fusing and harmonizing data from different sources, scales, and modalities. This research presents a comprehensive investigation into the challenges and solutions in vector map alignment, focusing on developing methods that enhance the precision and usability of geospatial data. We explored and developed three distinct methodologies for polygonal vector map alignment: ProximityAlign, which excels in precision within urban layouts but faces computational challenges; the Optical Flow Deep Learning-Based Alignment, noted for its efficiency and adaptability; and the Epipolar Geometry-Based Alignment, effective in data-rich contexts but sensitive to data quality. In practice, the proposed approaches serve as tools to benefit from as much as possible from existing datasets while respecting a spatial reference source. It also serves as a paramount step for the data fusion task to reduce its complexity.

Instrument Overview and Radiometric Calibration Methodology of the Non-Scanning Radiometer for the Integrated Earth–Moon Radiation Observation System (IEMROS)

The non-scanning radiometer with short-wavelength (SW: 0.2–5.0 μm) and total-wavelength (TW: 0.2–50.0 μm) channels is the primary payload of the Integrated Earth–Moon Radiation Observation System (IEMROS), which is designed to provide comprehensive Earth radiation measurements and lunar calibrations at the L1 Lagrange point of the Earth–Moon system from a global perspective. This manuscript introduces a radiometer preflight calibration methodology, which involves background removal and is validated using accurate and traceable reference sources. Simulated Earth view tests are performed to evaluate repeatability, linearity, and gain coefficients over the operating range. Both channels demonstrate repeatability uncertainties better than 0.34%, indicating consistent and reliable measuring performance. Comparative polynomial regression analysis confirms significant linear response characteristics with two-channel nonlinearity less than 0.20%. Gain coefficients are efficiently determined using a two-point calibration approach. Uncertainty analysis reveals an absolute radiometric calibration accuracy of 0.97% for the SW channel and 0.92% for the TW channel, underscoring the non-scanning radiometer’s capability to provide dependable global Earth radiation budget data crucial to environmental and climate studies.

Exploring Reasons for Support and Hesitancy Towards Covid-19 Vaccines in Malaysia

The Covid-19 pandemic started to spread in Malaysia since February 2020. As of 14 June 2021, there were 662,457 numbers of positive cases, with 586,864 cases of recovery, and 3,968 cases of death (Ministry of Health Malaysia, 2021). The Malaysian Government has set a target of 70% of the total population for vaccination under the National Immunisation Plan for COVID-19 for 2021 (Zainury, 2020). In this regard, the Government has stated that the Covid-19 vaccines will be given free of charge to all Malaysians who agree to accept the vaccines (Harian Metro Online, 2020). As a first step and in order to meet the at least 20% immunisation needs of Malaysians or 6.4 million populationin the country, the Government will obtain a supply of 12.8 million doses of the vaccines in 2021 from the UK Pharmaceutical Company and CONVAX Facility to meet an initial supply of 10% for the country's total population. This vaccine will only be given to Malaysians who agree to accept the vaccines. There has been a euphoria of excitement as well as public skepticism towards the vaccines. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the reasons for acceptance or hesitancy towards COVID-19 vaccines among Malaysians. This study used a survey method route to obtain preliminary data on this topic. Descriptive analyses were applied to categorise data and demographic information. Overall, a total of 236 respondents took part in the survey, where it was observed that 157 respondents (66.8%) were agreeable to accept the COVID-19 vaccines whilst 79 others (32.4%) disagreed. The reasons given by the respondents for receiving the vaccines wereself-protection, advice from theMinistry of Health or Government, to protect others from infection, belief in the benefits of the vaccines, and knowledge of the illness. Conversely, among the reasons for vaccines hesitances were being worried about side-effects of the vaccine, did not need a vaccine because they were not infected, not important even though being recommended by the health authorities, fear of getting sick during the vaccination process, perceived ineffectiveness of vaccine, perceived low severity of illness, and non-awareness of this disease/vaccine. This study contributes to the community towards the awareness of the COVID-19 vaccines and can be a source of references by policy-makers in formulating future communicable disease outbreak prevention campaigns and programs.

Pengesanan Denyutan Pi2 Hampir Masa Nyata Berdasarkan Model Pembelajaran Mesin Terautomatik

The impact of geomagnetic substorms on space weather and various technology on the Earth urges the need to detect the phenomenon. However, the brief period of substorm occurrences makes it more difficult to directly detect them, therefore, their detection by proxy in the form of precursors need to be done. Pi2 pulsations, which is a damped irregular signal in the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field ( as a reliable precursor to substorms. The cessation of Hz), is seen index that previously was the main detection indicator of Pi2 pulsations motivates this study to introduce a new detection method by implementing machine learning. In this study, several features were extracted from geomagnetic field data based on several statistical parameters, impulsive and signal metrics to be used in the development of classification model. The development was performed based on the automated machine learning (AutoML) approach that determines the best algorithm and optimizes the hyperparameters automatically. AutoML tries various algorithms like ensemble, neural network, Naïve Bayes, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbour and binary decision tree that are optimized by Asynchronous Successive Halving Algorithm. An ensemble classification model was determined to be the best performing model with an accuracy of 99.15%. It was then used in the development of near-real tine detection system. The system streams the geomagnetic field data continuously and reports the Pi2 detections on an open cloud repository, The detection system is envisioned to be one of the reference sources to inquire the occurrences of Pi2 pulsations globally.
