A method for predicting the cutting points using random sample consensus partitioning technique and AI machine vision.
Get PDFFood processing and manufacturing companies that handle large amounts of fish want their fish to be packaged and delivered in uniform quantities. In particular, manual labor is performed by skilled workers for fish that are difficult to trim. Moreover, some fish processing sites employ partially automated processing machines. However, the structure of these machines is too simple to process fish with diverse patterns. Furthermore, these machines exhibit a large amount of error for the target weight. To improve the working environment of food processing and manufacturing companies by solving the aforementioned problems, this study proposes a technique for predicting the cutting points of a fish for each weight by adopting image processing and machine learning. The proposed technique employs a variety of image processing techniques and random sample consensus partitioning to extract the 3D model of the fish and its length, maximum major and minor axes, and volume information from the image of the fish. The model trained with the extracted 3D features and the measured weight information can predict the cutting points for the desired weight from the input fish image. The performance evaluation results of the proposed method indicated that there is an average error of less than 3% between the target and predicted weights. This error level is considered significantly better than 8%, which is the permissible error level in fish processing sites. It is expected that the proposed technique will significantly contribute to the development of an automated cutting system that considers the weight by integrating the technique with the cutting machine and conveyor belt.  
A Study on the Assessment of Body Awareness Ability in Normal Children: A Pilot Study
Get PDFBody awareness influences psychosocial development, and psychosocial factors are important in children’s developmental processes. This study assessed the potential impact of body awareness in healthy children. Children, their guardians, and assessors were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of items on body awareness. The questionnaire included items on body awareness, including body and posture awareness, body sensitivity, body anxiety, and bodily feelings. The responses of the children, their guardians, and the assessors were analyzed. There was a difference in body awareness between the child and guardian but there was no statistical difference. There was a difference in response to body awareness between the child and assessors, but there was no statistical difference. This study presents evidence of body awareness in normal children. Future research using a group design should be conducted to confirm and generalize the results of this study.  
A Study on KOSPI Return Volatility Estimation Using Heterscedastic Time Series Model
Get PDFIn this study, return volatility prediction model was estimated by converting composite stock index into return variables. As for the heteroscedasticity test for the return, the Q-test and the LM-test showed that heteroscedasticity existed at the 2nd and 7th lags. Therefore, the order was determined using the SBC statistic, the parameters were estimated using the ARCH (2) model, and the model fit test was conducted. The parameter estimates of the ARCH(2) model were statistically significant, but the residual analysis showed that autocorrelation existed and did not satisfy the normality test. In the results of applying the GARCH (1,1) model, the parameter estimates, residual analysis, and normality were found to be satisfactory. Therefore, the GARCH (1,1) model was determined as the KOSPI return volatility estimation model and volatility was predicted. Volatility was predicted to show high volatility in the period of January and February 2023, and to stay calm after March for a long-term. Continuing a calm state means that the probability of large volatility is high. Therefore, those in charge of government agencies need to check system improvement or policy establishment and make efforts to identify trends in volatility by market.

A Study on the Differences in Regional Attractiveness of Recognized Local Stories
Get PDFRegional visit satisfaction of visitors can be increased by raising the regional attractiveness of recognized local stories. The purpose of current study is to explore the internal suitability of a confidence level for analyzing impacts to recognized local stories’ regional attractiveness empirically and the Cronbach’s alpha for the questions related to recognized local stories elements of a regional attractiveness showed good internal suitability with 0.905 and 0.874. As a result of proceeding with a regression analysis for verifying a study model, the power (the factors which are uniqueness, portrayal, understandability, and sensibility) of the recognized stories suggested from the study model and the regional attractiveness (the factors which are education, significance, and experientiality) are selected as they affect significant impacts. Local brand creations and expansions can be important cultural values for vitalizing a local economy via the study of the relationships (differences) between recognized local stories and regional attractiveness. In this study, the validity of each measure’s variable used for the study's basic static analysis and each scale construction, and the credibility whether the measures variables are consisting of latent variables consistently were verified. And it is experimented if the recognized story's regional attractiveness relationships (differences) can be applied to this study by suggesting the hypothesis adoption status via regression analysis verifying causal impacts between variables. These were very meaningful in this study. Because if we study that regional story content elements are very effective in regional activation by increasing regional attractiveness for visitors then it might be able to be systemized theoretically and be used for practical businesses.

Evaluating the Crucial Role of External Auditors in Mitigating Corruption Risk
Get PDFThe justification for the ongoing survey is to review the commitment of outside examiners equivalent to corporate defilement and highlight the repercussions for outer review controllers. The current review is based on an in-depth analysis of the International and American Auditing Standards for fraud and illegal acts and a critical review of earlier academic literature. Outside inspectors commit to evaluating defilement gambles, yet outer review controllers did not unquestionably portray their occupation. The ongoing survey was first to make sense of the commitment of outside reviewers regarding corporate debasement and to uncover knowledge of current cutoff points in the review guidelines related to this area. The back-and-forth movement furthermore presents a proposition to review controllers, outside inspectors, review firms, and examiners in such dubious regions
The Effect of Giving Mitekor (Moringa Leaf Noodles) On Overcoming Stunting in School Children in Medan Tuntungan District, Medan

Bioremediation of Triphenylmethane and Sulfonated Azo Dyes Using an Indigenous Strain of Trichoderma Asperellum: Mechanisms and Efficacy Assessment
Get PDFThis study aimed to isolate a native fungal strain that was potent enough to curb the toxicity of azo dyes in textile effluent drain sludge. The native fungus, which has the potential to degrade several azo dyes under ‘non-sterile’ conditions, was isolated and identified as Trichoderma asperellum (TA). It was observed that the isolated strain was capable of decolorizing up to 71.42 %, 60.19 %, and 89.65 % of azo dyes (methyl orange, malachite green, and crystal violet, respectively) within a span of 14 days with an extensive range of temperatures (15°C-40°C) and pH (5-8) before optimization. The targeted dyes at concentrations of 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 300 mg/L, 400 mg/L, and 500 mg/L were decolorized after optimization. The maximum decolorization of methyl orange (MO), malachite green (MG), and crystal violet (CV) was 88.89 %, 71.09 %, and 92.75 %, respectively, at a dye concentration of 100 mg/L, pH of 6.5, and temperature of 25°C. The fungal isolate Trichoderma asperellum frequently contains chitinases, cellulose, and laccases. The findings of this study validated the potential of TA as an effective biocatalyst for the remediation of methyl orange, malachite green, and crystal violet in textile wastewater. The degradation products showed decreased toxicity to sprout seeds, such as Cicer arietinum (chickpea) and Vigna radiata (mung seeds), when compared to untreated wastewater
