Lung cancer represents the dominant cause of cancer associated deaths worldwide. Researchers have proposed many methods for medical image analysis of CT scans through the decades but in recent times, deep learning (DL) has gained a lot of consideration in the field of analysis of biomedical images . Image processing techniques are used on image data after extracting CT scan features, to determine if the patient’s found nodule is benign or malignant. The most important of these techniques is segmentation which helps identify the shape,size and volume of the nodule. We experiment with several methods of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to target the best approach for pulmonary nodule segmentation. Our aim is to find the compromise between best accuracy, cheapest processing costs and scalability. First of all, it is important to observe that our method is proposed for the segmentation of lung nodules on a previously defined region of interest (ROI) instead of the whole image as input to our networks to cover the fast processing target and experimenting with 3D U-Net and variations of 3D V-Net. We performed analysis to measures of sensitivity and specificity and compared different segmentation approaches using our proposed modified U-Net with a novel adaptive focal loss function and our implementation of a modified V-Net with different architectures. The modified U-Net with the updated loss gave the best sensitivity and specificity of 0.9132 and 0.9807 respectively.

One of the most promising applications of quantum networks is entanglement-assisted sensing. The field of quantum metrology exploits quantum correlations to improve the precision bound for applications such as precision timekeeping, field sensing, and biological imaging. When measuring multiple spatially distributed parameters, current literature focuses on quantum entanglement in the discrete-variable case and quantum squeezing in the continuous-variable case, distributed amongst all of the sensors in a given network. However, it can be difficult to ensure that all sensors preshare entanglement of sufficiently high fidelity. This work probes the space between fully entangled and fully classical sensing networks by modeling a star network with probabilistic entanglement generation that is attempting to estimate the average of local parameters. The quantum Fisher information is used to determine which protocols best utilize entanglement as a resource for different network conditions. It is shown that without entanglement distillation there is a threshold fidelity below which classical sensing is preferable. For a network with a given number of sensors and links characterized by a certain initial fidelity and probability of success, this work outlines when and how to use entanglement, when to store it, and when it needs to be distilled.

Capital market transactions provide an opportunity for investors to acquire ownership of company shares and capital gains, as well as dividends. However, alongside the benefits, there are risks of capital loss and liquidation, leading to stress and depression due to profit targets and decision-making errors. To mitigate the risk of decision-making errors in investment, data analysis is needed, including sentiment analysis, which influences stock prices. This study aims to develop a new deep learning model to classify Indonesian public opinion on JCI stocks, especially the Energy sector, obtained from the Twitter social media platform. The model will perform sentiment analysis and categorize opinions as negative, neutral, or positive. We created a dataset that was trained using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) to summarize the analysis of public sentiment above so that it can assist investors in studying public sentiment as a reference for investing with a yield precision of 76%, Recall of 77%, and F1-score on 76%.

This paper describes the low-cost manufacturing process of an evanescent wave fiber sensor platform that allows the etching of the fiber in hydrofluoric acid with the proposed 3D-printed fiber holder in an acid resistant material. The fiber holder is practical for allowing several processing procedures during its use and sensor fabrication, allowing sensor optical and electrical operation. In this work, some aspects of its characterization are presented in the optical domain showing the excitation of surface plasmons in the visible range, and also indication of its electrical operation of the thin-film as electrode.

In this work, we evaluated the performance of a camera-based rigid body motion correction solution in PET studies. We compared the image quality obtained by reconstructing a static phantom scan to those obtained by reconstructing a moving phantom scan with and without applying motion correction. Our suggested solution uses a camera to track a 3D marker attached to the object to be imaged (in this work, a resolution phantom). This data was incorporated in the multiple acquisition frames (MAF) image reconstruction algorithm to compensate for motion. While we got multiple spatially shifted replicas of the resolution phantom in the motion study's reconstructed image when motion correction was not applied, the motion-corrected image was comparable to the static image, with some degradation in spatial resolution (3.2-4.2 vs. 2.8-3.2 mm) and lower peak to valley ratio (indicating lower contrast to noise ratio). The context of the results presented is in PET/MR imaging, but in principle, this motion compensation method could be used in any type of medical imaging modality.

This study focuses on brain tumor detection and segmentation using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with architectures of Fully Convolutional Net-work (FCN) and VGG16. The dataset imported for this study consists of brain MRI images, which were preprocessed to improve the overall image resolution. Data augmentation techniques were applied to heighten the variability and volume of the training data. For feature extraction, CNN models were utilized, specifically the VGG16 architectures. This model was trained on a preprocessed dataset to learn the important features associated with the presence of brain tumor. Image segmentation was performed to precisely outline and identify the tumor region within the brain images. FCN architecture was employed for this task, which allowed pixel-level classification of tumor regions. Finally, image classification was carried out to group brain images based on the absence or presence of a tumor. The trained models were evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall and F1score as the performance metrics. The results of the study demonstrated promising outcomes, achieving an accuracy score of 93% and a precision, recall and f1score ranging from 75% to 100% based on the specific type of tumor enlisted. This indicates that the developed CNN models, with the FCN and VGG16 architectures, effectively detect and segment brain tumors from MRI images. The findings of this study contribute to the field of medical image analysis and gives a foundation for further research and development in brain tumor diagnosis and treatment. The study recommends the use of more deep learning algorithms for the process of detecting brain tumors.

Currently, the performance of the police in Indonesia is often in the spotlight of the public with cases that occur, both on a national and regional scale, including personal experiences who also feel disappointed with the performance of the police. The cases, such as the rape of three children by a biological father in East Luwu, and the barrage of other cases that have occurred, in their handling have left the public disappointed, giving rise to the hashtag percumlaporpolisi on social media, especially on twitter. This hashtag became trending and was widely responded to by the public. Using free hashtag keywords, tweet data is collected using Twitter’s API for sentiment analysis. The datasets obtained from the crawling results is the latest data with a total of 100 datasets. This study applies the naïve bayes algorithm using textblob which aims to determine the value of polarity and subjectivity. From the results of the analysis carried out, the words that appear most often are useless police, police chief, and policeman. While the results of the sentiment analysis that has been carried out are 40 percent positive sentiment, 40 percent are neutral sentiment and 10 percent are negative sentiment from the hashtags used. From these results, according to the keywords used, the percentage of negative sentiment should be greater than positive and neutral sentiment. It is necessary to conduct a more in-depth study related to the model used in the next research.
