Published: July 2024

This research aims to analyze the culture of consumerism in Indonesia from the perspective of the Frankfurt School, utilizing Herbert Marcuse's theory of One Dimensional Man. The method employed in this research is qualitative analysis using data collection techniques through literature review. The research findings indicate that capitalism and globalization have escalated the culture of consumerism in Indonesia, marked by the increased usage of credit cards, online loans, and exerting negative influences on the social and economic aspects of society. The government has responded with policies aimed at curbing excessive consumption but also supports concerts and consumerist culture. Marcuse's critical theory encourages individuals to recognize their social circumstances as problematic and take transformative actions that can liberate them from the capitalist domination that fosters limited perspectives. This study is expected to contribute to the advancement of political science and serve as a reference for students, as well as research or academic institutions.

Authors: Cárcamo Solís María de Lourdes , Alvarado Méndez María Concepción
Published: July 2024

El objetivo central de esta investigación es analizar cómo la reforestación se convierte en una estrategia para influir en los efectos perniciosos del cambio climático, el cual este es considerado el mayor desafío que se le ha presentado a la humanidad en el siglo XXI, al afectar el entorno físico y la diversidad de ecosistemas y sus interacciones con los seres humanos. Los resultados hoy son 400 000 muertes anuales y pasarán a ser 700 000 cada año a partir de 2030. La crisis climática se ha traducido en sequías e inundaciones, olas de calor e incendios, amenazas de hambruna y migraciones. Una medida para revertir varios de los efectos negativos del cambio climático es la preservación de los bosques, mediante la reforestación, debido a que brindan una diversidad de servicios ambientales, entre ellos, la regulación del ciclo hidrológico o el hábitat natural de muchas especies animales y vegetales que conforman la biodiversidad. Los bosques constituyen un importante vínculo en el ciclo de nutrientes del planeta, ya que retienen nutrientes inorgánicos como dióxido de carbono de la atmósfera. Asimismo, los bosques son una fuente de recursos maderables y no maderables, que adquieren un valor económico muy importante para la sociedad. Algunas de las estrategias a seguir son preservar la cadena productiva de los bosques, opciones tecnológicas basadas en genotipos adaptados, tipos de labranza, conservación del agua, aumento de la eficiencia del uso del agua y fertilizantes, así como sistemas de riego más eficientes. Dichas estrategias tienen que desarrollarse entre el gobierno, la sociedad civil y el sector privado.

"Balancing Act: Evaluating The Impact Of Anti-Defection Laws On Democratic Governance In India"
Authors: Dubela Surbhi , Sharma Dr Rituja
Published: July 2024

This research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of India's anti-defection laws, focusing on their role within the democratic framework and their impact on legislative conduct since their inception. Enacted through the 52nd Amendment in 1985 and embedded within the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, these laws were intended to prevent political defections that could destabilize governments and erode the integrity of electoral mandates. By documenting the evolution of these laws, their enforcement, and the judicial interpretations that have shaped them, this paper offers a detailed narrative of their socio-political consequences.Utilizing historical data, legislative records, and case studies, the research examines the patterns of party defections and the response mechanisms activated by the anti-defection laws. The study extends to interviews with political figures who have been directly affected by these laws, as well as political analysts and legal experts who provide insights into the operational dynamics and challenges posed by the enforcement of such laws.The findings reveal a complex interplay between legislative stability and political freedom, highlighting cases where the anti-defection laws have both supported and hindered democratic practices. The paper argues that while these laws have been instrumental in curtailing frivolous party-switching, they have also led to unintended consequences such as the suppression of dissent within party lines and a reduction in individual accountability of lawmakers. This descriptive analysis culminates in a discussion of potential reforms aimed at refining the anti-defection framework to better align with the principles of a vibrant democracy, suggesting a recalibration of legal provisions to foster both stability and democratic liberty in legislative practices.

Published: July 2024

Because of, the increasing number of Ethiopians who actively engaging with the Internet and social media platforms, the incidence of clickbait is becomes a significant concern. Clickbait, often utilizing enticing titles to tempt users into clicking, has become rampant for various reasons, including advertising and revenue generation. However, the Amharic language, spoken by a large population, lacks sufficient NLP resources for addressing this issue. In this study, the authors developed a machine learning model for detecting and classifying clickbait titles in Amharic Language. To facilitate this, authors prepared the first Amharic clickbait dataset. 53,227 social media posts from well-known sites including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are included in the dataset. To assess the impact of conventional machine learning methods like Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with TF-IDF and N-gram feature extraction approaches, the authors set up a baseline. Subsequently, the authors investigated the efficacy of two word embedding techniques, word2vec and fastText, with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) deep learning algorithms. At 94.27% accuracy and 94.24% F1 score measure, the CNN model with the rapid Text word embedding performs the best compared to the other models, according to the testing data. The study advances natural language processing on low-resource languages and offers insightful advice on how to counter clickbait content in Amharic.

Published: July 2024

Underwater research and monitoring operations rely significantly on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for scientific investigations, resource management, and monitoring, and underwater infrastructure is provided maintenance levels amid other applications. Efficient navigation and preventative methods are only a couple of the numerous challenges that Path-Finding (PF) in rapidly changing and sophisticated Underwater Environments (UE) requires overcoming. Dynamic environments and real-time improvements are problems for traditional models. In order to provide superior solutions for navigating uncertain UE, this work suggests a hybrid optimization technique that combines Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for local path selection with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for global path scheduling. Runtime efficiency, accuracy, and distance focused on decrease are three metrics that demonstrate how the PSO-ACO hybrid method outperforms conventional algorithms, proving its significance for improving AUV navigation. The improvement of AUV functions in fields such as underwater research, along with others, is supported by the current research, which further assists with the invention of Autonomous Underwater Navigation Systems (AUNS). The PSO+ACO hybrid method is superior to the PSO, ACO, and GA algorithms in pathfinding with a 6.43-second execution time and 93.5% accuracy—the ACO model completed in 12.53 seconds, superior to the proposed system.

Enhancing Groundwater Quality Evaluation Using Associative Rule Mining Technique with Random Forest Split Gini Indexing Algorithm for Nitrate Concentration Analysis
Authors: R Siddthan , PM Shanthi
Published: July 2024

Human actions and changing weather patterns are contributing to the growing demand for groundwater resources. Nevertheless, evaluating the quality of groundwater is crucial. Nitrate is a significant water contaminant that can lead to blue-baby syndrome or methemoglobinemia. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the level of nitrate in groundwater. Current methods involve evaluating the quality of groundwater and integrating it into the models. The inappropriate datasets, lack of performance, and other constraints are limitations of current methods. Ground water dataset is used and pre-processed the data’s. Selected data’s are feature extracted and associated with the rule ranking. In the suggested model, the use of associative rule mining technique has been implemented to address these challenges and assess nitrate levels in groundwater. The method of rule ranking is carried out using association rule mining technique to divide the datasets. The split gini indexing algorithm is introduced in the proposed model for data classification. The Split Gini Indexing algorithm is a decision tree induction algorithm that is used to build decision trees for classification tasks. It is based on the Gini impurity measure, which measures the heterogeneity of a dataset. The quality of groundwater has been classified using Naïve Bayes, SVM, and KNN algorithms. The proposed approach's efficiency is evaluated by calculating performance metrics such as precision, accuracy, F1-score, and recall values. The suggested method in the current research attains an improved accuracy of 0.99, demonstrating enhanced performance.
Clustering Uniformity Methods for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Lee Joong-Ho
Published: July 2024

The wireless sensors that make up a wireless sensor network (WSN) are randomly deployed in nature and cannot be artificially replaced when their batteries are depleted. Failure of communication connection between wireless sensors causes continuous connection attempts, which results in a lot of power dissipation and shortens the lifetime of the WSN. In this paper, we propose to extend the lifetime of WSNs by limiting the appropriate distance between the cluster head (CH) node and the communicating sensor nodes (SNs) so that a group of clusters of appropriate size can be formed on a two-dimensional plane. To equalize cluster size, sensor nodes with the shortest distance communicate with each other to form member nodes, and nodes with closer distances are bring together to form clusters. The simulation results show the improvement rate of cluster uniformity over the shortest distance-based clustering method for clustering based on the proposed cluster uniformity algorithm. The proposed method can improve the cluster uniformity of the network by about 20%. In addition, the power consumption of the proposed method is analyzed according to the difference in the density of sensor nodes in the cluster groups to examine the improvement in power consumption.

Authors: Gezer Tuğrul Yasemin
Published: July 2024

Erken yaşta evlilikler, özellikle ataerkil ve geleneksel toplum yapıları içinde sıkça karşılaşılan bir sorun olup, küresel düzeyde yaygın bir problem olarak varlığını sürdürmektedir. Bu durum genellikle kız çocukları üzerinde odaklansa da, erken yaşta evliliklerin erkek çocukları da etkileyen bir toplumsal gerçeklik olduğu göz ardı edilmemelidir. Çünkü erken yaşta evlilikler hem kız hem de erkek çocuklarının sağlık, güvenlik ve eğitim gibi temel haklarının ihlal edilmesine böylece toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin derinleşmesine yol açmaktadır. Geleneksel ve ataerkil bir kültüre sahip olan Van’da erken yaşta evlilikler bu kültürel dinamiklerin ve toplumsal normların bir yansıması olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu araştırma Van’da erken yaşta evlendirilen erkeklerin toplumsal normlar içinde nasıl konumlandıklarını, evlilik öncesi ve sonrası yaşadıkları bireysel deneyimleri –aile, eğitim, iş yaşamı, sosyal ilişkiler- derinlemesine anlamayı ve bu sorunun çözümüne katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden derinlemesine görüşme tekniği ile Van’da erken yaşta evlendirilmiş 27 erkek ile görüşülmüştür. Araştırma bulguları, erken yaşta evliliklerin bireyler tarafından da içselleştirilip toplumsal bir kabule dönüştüğünü, erken yaşta evlendirilen erkeklerin evlilik deneyimlerinin sonraki yaşamlarını birçok yönleriyle olumsuz şekilde etkilediğini ancak kadınlardan farklı olarak dezavantajlı konumlarını, verili olan erkeklik rolleri nedeniyle avantaja dönüştürebildiklerini ve evlilik içerisinde erkekliği farklı biçimlerde yeniden inşa ettiklerini ortaya koymuştur.

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between social audit and Sustainable Development Goals implementation. Stakeholder theory prioritizes stakeholder perspectives, helping companies accept societal concerns and align with the SDGs through social audits. The study’s data sample consisted of 74 Malaysian companies from 2021 to 2022. We sourced the SDG data from each company’s official website and collected other variables from their annual reports, such as social audits, company size, debt level, liquidity, and profitability. The fixed effect regression analysis shows that social audit has a negative relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals. Social audits can reveal deficiencies in company practices, potentially lowering the perception of Sustainable Development Goals performance. The study emphasises the need to assess the effectiveness of company accountability mechanisms, like social audits, in promoting positive social and environmental outcomes. Social audits in promoting corporate responsibility if they impede progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. It may be necessary for companies to reconsider the practice of social audits and incorporate Sustainable Development Goals into their business strategy. Additionally, regulators may need to modify rules to match sustainable development goals more effectively. This will facilitate stakeholder participation and promote ongoing enhancements.

This paper presents an optimized microgrid based on a PV/wind/battery/fuel cell hybrid power system with a battery and hydrogen tank storage system for an islanded residential load. This advanced system is optimized using Smell Agent Optimization (SAO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The system is meticulously designed to meet the energy demand while minimizing the total annual cost. Simulation findings revealed that both SAO and GA yield comparable outcomes, as both effectively optimized the system, ensuring sustainability and efficiency in system sizing. Also, the optimized results obtained from SAO appear to be more effective in enhancing the overall performance of hybrid energy systems. The study demonstrates that the application of these algorithms not only optimizes the design but also contributes significantly to the reliability and economic feasibility of the microgrid. The dual storage approach, incorporating both battery and hydrogen tank, proves to be a robust solution for maintaining continuous power supply under diverse weather conditions. The findings suggest that the proposed system configuration and optimization methodology can serve as a benchmark for future studies in the field of renewable energy systems.

Nos últimos anos, as plataformas digitais têm desempenhado um papel cada vez mais crucial no cenário educacional, transformando a maneira como o conhecimento é acessado, compartilhado e aplicado. Paralelamente, o advento da Ciência de Dados trouxe consigo novas perspectivas para a análise e interpretação de dados educacionais, oferecendo informações para melhorar tanto os processos de ensino quanto de aprendizagem. Diante desse contexto, o presente estudo se propôs a realizar uma revisão da literatura, com o objetivo de elucidar o estado atual das plataformas digitais educacionais e explorar como a Ciência de Dados tem sido empregada nesse contexto. Foram identificados 10 artigos pertinentes ao tema e considerados para a revisão. A revisão dos estudos sobre as plataformas digitais educacionais e Ciência de Dados revela que o Google Meet e Google Classroom são amplamente utilizadas para facilitar o ensino remoto, promovendo interação e distribuição de conteúdo. No entanto, a eficácia educacional não é garantida apenas pelo uso dessas ferramentas, requerendo alinhamento com objetivos específicos e superação de desafios como acesso limitado à internet. A análise dos artigos mostrou que as plataformas digitais variam no uso para ensino remoto, promovendo interação, distribuição de conteúdo e atividades em tempo real. No entanto, a eficácia do ensino depende de alinhar essas ferramentas aos objetivos educacionais e superar desafios como acesso à internet e problemas técnicos. A Ciência de Dados se destacou como aliada na análise dos dados dessas plataformas, ajudando a entender o desempenho dos alunos, padrões de aprendizagem e a eficácia dos métodos pedagógicos, além de apoiar a personalização da educação e o desenvolvimento de políticas educacionais baseadas em evidências. Essa combinação promete transformar o ensino globalmente, ampliando oportunidades e impulsionando a pesquisa educacional.
Entre tradição e inovação: o caso da culinária lacto-vegetariana indiana, na cidade de Belém (Pará, Brasil)
Authors: Cruz Fernando Manuel Rocha da
Published: July 2024

A cidade de Belém, capital do estado do Pará (PA), no norte do Brasil, concentra em seu centro histórico uma relevante arquitetura militar, religiosa e civil que perpassa a fundação da cidade no século XVII, pelos portugueses, e a da Belle Époque, período áureo da exportação do látex para o Exterior. A título de exemplo, podemos citar aqui, a localização do Forte do Presépio, Catedral Metropolitana e Casa das Onze Janelas (Complexo Feliz Lusitânea), Mercado de Peixe, Mercado de Carne e feira-livre (Conjunto “Ver-o-Peso”). Neste espaço urbano, existem diversos restaurantes de comida local, brasileira e internacional. No entanto, cabe-nos destacar a existência na proximidade do centro histórico do Restaurante Govinda que abriu suas portas em junho de 2009, tendo como principal proposta oferecer uma opção de alimentação saudável, tendo por base a culinária lacto-vegetariana indiana. Assim, é objetivo da pesquisa debater o binômio tradição e inovação, na relação de um restaurante de comida Lacto-vegetariana Indiana com o centro histórico de Belém. Metodologicamente, a abordagem é qualitativa e etnográfica, tendo em vista o aprofundamento do objeto de estudo. Assim, recorremos à observação participante e à aplicação de uma entrevista semiestruturada ao proprietário do restaurante. Por fim, concluimos que a comida Lacto-Vegetariana, se constituindo como inovação na cidade e, em particular, relativamente ao patrimônio cultural do centro histórico, tende a se aproximar da comida tradicional paraense, através da inclusão de alimentos locais.
