APLIKASI PENGENALAN IRIS MATA MENGGUNAKAN METODE HOUGH TRANSFORM DAN GABOR WAVELET

Biometric system is a development of the basic method of identification system by using the characteristics of humans as it’s object. These include face, fingerprints, signature, palms, iris, ears, sounds even DNA. Face recognition is one of the identification techniques in biometrics that uses part of the face as its parameter. One of the biometric parts of face is Iris. Iris is a unique part of the eyes, this is because the pattern of the somebody eyes will be quite different from the other, even genetically identical twins have different iris patterns. This research will use the Hough and Gabor method to perform iris recognition. The results show that the application has succeeded in recognizing the selected eye image if the eye image is registered in the database.

Polish-language Threads in Lithuanian Healing Conjurations (Zagovory)

Lithuanian conjurations (zagovory) constitute a unique part of Lithuanian folklore. In the collection of conjurations’ manuscripts described in the publication of Daiva Vaitkevičienė (2008), we will find records of these archaic texts in various languages, including Polish. Polish-language conjurations constitute a separate subgroup in the Balto-Slavic context. Following the chronological criterion, we are dealing with texts of pre-Christian and after-Christ origins. Due to mutual cultural influences as well as functioning of different languages within Lithuania, it is usually not possible to determine the original language of conjuration.Only in a few cases we are able to state, which version of conjuration is its translation. This is indicated primarily by the structure of the text as well as its lexical features, adaptation or transliteration.The article presents an attempt to compare Polish and Lithuanian texts, identify and analyze Polish language threads, their motives and subject matter as well as the ways in which such conjurations function.

Genetic Algorithm based Predictive model for COVID 19 – Theoretical Model based on an evolutionary approach

In this manuscript we propose a novel theoretical method that models the evolution, spread and transmission of COVID 19 pandemic. The proposed model is inspired partly from the evolutionary based state of the art genetic algorithm. The rate of virus evolution, spread and transmission of the COVID 19 and its associated recovery and death rate are modeled using the principle inspired from evolutionary algorithm. Furthermore, the interaction within a community and interaction outside the community is modeled. The constraint with respect to interaction has been implemented by a machine learning type algorithm and becomes the unique part of our study . Using this model, the maximum healthcare threshold is fixed as a constraint. Our evolutionary based model distinguishes between individuals in the population depending on the severity of their symptoms/infection based on the fitness value of the individuals. There is a need to differentiate between virus infected diagnosed (Self isolated) and virus infected non-diagnosed (Highly interacting) sub populations/group. In this study the model results does not compare the number outcomes with any actual real time data based curves. However, the results from the model demonstrates that a strict lockdown, social-distancing measures in conjunction with more number of testing and contact tracing is required to flatten the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic curve. A reproductive number of 2.4 during the initial spread of virus is predicted from the model for the randomly considered population. The proposed model has the potential to be further fine-tuned and matched accurately against real time data.

Wooden heritage of Świętego Piątka St. in Zamość. Problems and ideas for the preservation of a vanishing landscape

Wooden heritage of Polish towns has become a widely discussed architectural topic. Until the 2nd world war, the majority of little towns and villages development was constructed from wood. Zamość, well-known for its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List, may be pleased for having many examples of wooden residential architecture dating back to the beginnings of the 20th century. Stylistic traits, composition of forms, modest but classy ornamentation and the atmosphere of the street calls for adequate commemoration. Private ownership entailing infrequent poor maintenance, devastating weather conditions, lack of concrete, local government actions result in gradual deterioration of wooden building substance and its aesthetic, original qualities. Too little attention and effort is devoted by the local government to preserve that unique part of Zamość – the Zamość outside the fortification walls. The author of the article provides historical background of that particular pieces of wooden architecture, lists their main characteristics distinguishing and common to the Zamość region, discusses their role in the street’s landscape and presents several solutions to revive the original beauty of the place and engage attention to the matter.

A review of non-plaque-related gingival conditions. Part Two: Reactive processes, potentially dysplastic and malignant neoplasms, and pigmented conditions

The dental gingivae are a unique part of the oral anatomy and an integral part of the periodontal tissues. Although the vast majority of abnormalities affecting the gingival tissues are due to a simple inflammatory reaction directly related to the presence of dental plaque, a range of non-plaque-related conditions also occur due to either local or systemic factors. Such factors include developmental abnormalities, the presence of malignancy and manifestations of underlying systemic conditions. Recognition and diagnosis of non-plaque-related gingival disease is essential for comprehensive dental health care. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper provides a review of the spectrum of non-plaque-related conditions that can affect the dental gingivae.

Local Variation in Gendered Family Policy Use: Evidence of Local Gender Contracts?

A central and unique part of Sweden’s family policy programme is care leave that working parents can use when children are sick and cannot attend (pre)school. The gender-equal policy entails that parents may divide the leave as they see fit. However, mothers and fathers do not share care leave equally and care leave patterns may vary geographically. The aim of this paper is to examine the interaction between gendered care leave and geographical context using the theory of gender contracts. We ask how geographical variation in fathers’ share of care leave varies by scale, and how both individual factors and geographical determinants, representing local gender contracts, are associated with fathers’ share of care leave. Distinctive from previous work, we use geocoded full-population register data and individualized neighbourhoods at multiple scales in order to be able to better measure contextual effects on care leave use. We find substantial spatial variation in fathers’ share of care leave, with clustering depending on scale level. Using the nearest 200 fathers with young children, a factor analysis summarizes local gender contracts into three factors labelled as elite, marginalization and private sector. Results show that especially living in local gender contract areas identified as “marginalized” positively affects fathers’ share of care leave. Living in the most segregated neighbourhoods has substantial effects on fathers’ share of care leave, but overall, neighbourhood effects are moderate. A gender contract perspective shows negotiations resulting from locally clustered gendered norms and relative resources between partners influence who stays home with sick children.

Biomechanical Motion Analysis of Elite Flat Water Kayakers with Special Focus on Footrest

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the importance of footrest use and the symmetry of kayaking motions. Method: Measurements were performed on 11 professional male Hungarian kayakers (n = 11), with a mean age of 24 years (range: 18–30 years), a mean height of 184, 5 cm (range: 172–197 cm), and a mean weight of 84 kg (72–96 kg). Weba sport kayak ergometer, Vicon MXT 3D camera system and surface electromyography were used for the measurements. The unique part of the study was the dynamometer, built into the footrest of the ergometer. The right and left sides differed significantly in terms of range of motion in the joints and activity of the muscles involved. Statistically significant differences were observed in the force applied to the footrest between the right and left sides. There were significant differences between the right and left stroke lengths in most athletes. There was a positive correlation between force applied to the footrest, the stroke length and the kayakers’ power output. Our study identified differences and correlations between the parameters of kayaking motion, highlighting the importance of the footrest. Better and more precise footrest use allows correct technique to be applied with high performance.
