Regional Innovation as a Catalyst for Economic Growth by Gunawan Adi Saputra Silalahi, Khoirunurrofik

“…The results of the analysis show that there is a relationship between public perceptions of regional innovation, generally having a very good category, but the product sophistication variable has an index value of 4.17 with the smallest good category compared to the index values of other variables, this is in line with the achievement of the Banyuwangi Regency regional innovation index in 2023 with an index value of 84.19 which experienced a decrease previously the index value in 2022, namely 96.3 where product sophistication was the lowest with a value of 44.5%. …”

A Small Tamper-Resistant Anti-Recycling IC Sensor With a Reused I/O Interface and DC Signalling by Alexandros Dimopoulos, Mihai Sima, Stephen W. Neville

“…A number of recycled integrated circuit (IC) risk mitigation approaches have been proposed, but these generally lack pragmatic feasibility. This work proposes a novel real-world deployable on-chip sensor that: 1) is tamper-resistant by exploiting persistent changes caused by hot carrier injection (HCI); 2) generates a DC signal measurable by common low-cost test equipment; and 3) reuses an existing I/O interface, including existing pins; while 4) requiring a very small footprint. …”

Communication patterns of some Afrikaans speaking Coloureds and Whites in the Cape Peninsula by Elirea Bornman, H.J. Groenewald, Elsa Hall

“…Because of the relatively small number of respondants involved in the study no generalized conclusions could be made. It seems, however, that the relationships of different groups of people in a multicultural society will not improve as long as certain measures exist in the society to treat them as totally different entities with different needs and aspirations. …”

Research and application of adaptive algorithm for 5G voice quality evaluation by Yuxiang ZHAO, Yaxin JI, Li YU, Tianyi ZHOU, Hang ZHOU

“…MOS (mean opinion score) is usually used to evaluate voice quality in the industry.It can objectively and fairly reflect the user’s voice service perception.It is difficult and costly to obtain data by road test, so a trained supervised learning model is usually used to predict the MOS score.However, the operator voice data has the characteristics of low percentage of MOS low score data and time sequence change, which affects the accuracy and generalization of the model prediction.Based on the study of existing data acquisition systems and machine learning algorithms of operators, an adaptive algorithm for MOS evaluation of 5G speech quality was proposed.Firstly, POLQA algorithm test equipment based on full parameter evaluation obtained training data to ensure the accuracy of training samples.Secondly, by means of data enhancement, the difficulty of acquiring poor quality samples was solved.Finally, based on the adaptive algorithm selection, the optimal MOS prediction model could be selected periodically and dynamically according to the timing changes of data features, so as to achieve large-scale and intelligent evaluation of 5G voice quality.…”
