Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Danyliuk Andrii , Muliarevych Oleksandr
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to optimize traffic light control at intersections to reduce congestion and delays and increase the capacity of intersections. A practical solution to this problem is using intelligent transport systems and specific decision-making subsystems. However, automating such tasks requires scientific research to develop effective algorithms suitable for practical use.

This work proposes an approach to optimizing traffic light control at intersections that considers the traffic flow parameters at a specific intersection and those at adjacent intersections, utilizing an ant colony optimization algorithm to optimize traffic light control at neighboring intersections.

The results obtained show that this approach is more effective compared to existing methods and has the potential to reduce delays by 10% and increase intersection capacity by 15% and more.

Failed Canons
Authors: Boddy Jane
Published: December 2024

In the early twentieth century, critics writing about European modern art vied to categorize increasingly diverse artistic positions, name emerging artists, and define future directions. One such critic was Ferdinand Avenarius, who promoted Katharine Schäffner as the first artist to probe the possibilities of non-imitative art. Yet, despite his efforts, Schäffner finds herself conspicuously absent from the broader art-historical narratives today. This paper aims to explore the reasons behind this comparative neglect by examining a power struggle between Avenarius and Julius Meier-Graefe, influential critics who harbored conflicting visions of modern art.

Unlocking the Shopper’s Mind: How Emerging Technologies Like Artificial Intelligence Is Shaping the Future of Retail
Authors: MITU Florina-Gabriela , BOTA Marius , SAVAN Emil Emanuel
Published: December 2024

The fast-changing landscape of consumer behavior, driven by digitalization in retail, fosters big changes in industry. Two other major trends are omnichannel strategies, integrating physical experience with online shopping, and the rise of experiential shopping technologies such as AR (augmented reality) in shaping how retailers connect with consumers. The increasing function of artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize supply chains also raises crucial questions regarding the ethics of these developments in retail marketing. This paper also discusses neuromarketing, an innovative approach whereby neuroscience is combined with marketing, as a tool to help optimize sales techniques and improve customer service. Techniques such as EEG (electroencephalogram), eye-tracking, and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) offer retailers insight into customers’ unconscious responses to stimuli, from advertising to product placement. While these approaches have been increasingly adopted by retailers, the current study investigates whether the drift toward digital platforms impacts the efficiency of neuromarketing strategies and how AI takes further priority in this direction (Goncalves et al., 2024). The backbone of this research is to establish the level at which businesses have integrated neuromarketing into their greater marketing strategies and to find any new consumer behavior that could be proposed within a retail context. This paper will attempt to contribute, by exploratory research and secondary data analysis, to a better understanding of how these new trends adapts to the digitization of retail due to technological development and ethical concerns raised by its increased use.

Presentación: Planeación urbana ¿para qué proyecto de la Ciudad de México?
Authors: Carrión Mena Fernando
Published: December 2024

Proyecto es una palabra proveniente del latín projectum, que hace referencia a “lanzar algo hacia adelante”. Se trata de una invención o innovación de un objeto que cambia en el tiempo, gracias a las acciones realizadas de forma ordenada: un plan. Por eso, proyecto y planificación mantienen una relación indisoluble y secuencial. El objeto, en este caso, es la ciudad que, según los contextos, puede adquirir distintas modalidades. De allí que sea imprescindible la correspondencia entre proyecto de ciudad y planificación urbana .Para evidenciar esta propuesta, el caso de la Ciudad de México es muy ilustrativo. Eso supone tener clara la coyuntura en la que se ha delineado, teniendo en cuenta su triple condición: es local (CDMX), es nacional (Capital Federal) como también es internacional (globalizada).

Problemas de definición de agenda pública y planeación en la Ciudad de México. Un enfoque de policy making
Authors: Pérez Pérez Gabriel , Flores Jáuregui Oscar
Published: December 2024

La idea del “desarrollo participativo” incluye las perspectivas de los actores locales en la planeación institucional con la finalidad de impulsar procesos de desarrollo. La consulta pública del Plan General del Desarrollo y del Programa General de Ordenamiento Territorial de la Ciudad de México no sustituyó un proceso de deliberación amplio e informado. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en repensar la formulación de la agenda pública de la capital, más allá de los formatos gerenciales que han desatendido el estudio de la definición de problemas públicos dimensionados en el marco de los arreglos institucionales y de las relaciones sociales como espacio de construcción de sentido de las estrategias y de las políticas metropolitanas. Tras seguir una estrategia teórico-metodológica vinculada a la tradición constructivista del policy making sobre la planeación; se advierte que dicha actividad tiene dinámicas políticas inherentes, mismas que no pueden ser sustituidas por una forma de tecnificación ni ser dirigidas por un gabinete de expertos.

Authors: Shamami Maryam Abdollahi , Farahzadi Helia , Amini Leila , Ilani Mohsen Asghari , Banad Yaser Mike
Published: December 2024

Accurate drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction is essential to prevent adverse effects, especially with the increased use of multiple medications during the COVID-19 pandemic. Traditional machine learning methods often miss the complex relationships necessary for effective DDI prediction. This study introduces a deep learning-based classification framework to assess adverse effects from interactions between Fluvoxamine and Curcumin. Our model integrates a wide range of drug-related data (e.g., molecular structures, targets, side effects) and synthesizes them into high-level features through a specialized deep neural network (DNN). This approach significantly outperforms traditional classifiers in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Additionally, our framework enables real-time DDI monitoring, which is particularly valuable in COVID-19 patient care. The model’s success in accurately predicting adverse effects demonstrates the potential of deep learning to enhance drug safety and support personalized medicine, paving the way for safer, data-driven treatment strategies.
Modelling the knowledge flow among vocational training and its partners
Authors: Hatos Hajnalka , Szombathelyi Márta Konczos
Published: December 2024

The study documents the model of the knowledge transfer process between the University, the Vocational Training Center and the industrial actors. The research seeks to answer to the following questions. Where is new knowledge generated? Where does knowledge originate from? Is there a central actor? If so, which organization? Hypotheses tested by the research: H1: Knowledge starts from the higher education institution. H2: Most “new knowledge” is generated in universities and large multinational companies. H3: The university is a central actor in the knowledge flow, transmitting both hard and soft skills, as well as subject (‘know-what’), organizational (‘know-why’), use (‘know-how’), relational (‘know-who’), and creative (‘care-why’) knowledge. The aim of the research is to model the way of knowledge flow between the collaborating institutions. The novelty of this research is that it extends the analysis of the knowledge flow process not only to the actors of previous researches (higher education institutions, business organizations, and government) but also to secondary vocational education and training institutions. The methodology used in the research is the analysis of the documents of the actors investigated and the questionnaire survey among the participants. Knowledge transfer is the responsibility of the university and its partner training and business organizations. In vocational education and training, knowledge flows based on the knowledge economy, innovation and technological development are planned, managed and operational. The research has shown that knowledge is a specific good that it is indivisible in its production and consumption, that it is easy and cheap to transfer and learn.
Sustainable rural tourism development in Ethiopia: Leveraging economic growth, infrastructure improvements, and cultural heritage
Authors: Yasin Abdi Shukri , Gebbisa Mesfin Bekele , Bacsi Zsuzsanna
Published: December 2024

Rural tourism, which offers authentic cultural and nature-based experiences, is increasingly recognized as a vital tool for sustainable development. Ethiopia, with its rich rural landscapes and cultural heritage, holds immense potential for rural tourism, but the sector remains underdeveloped. This study assesses the facilitating conditions and challenges of rural tourism in Ethiopia using a mixed-methods approach. Results indicate that Ethiopia’s economic growth, improved rural infrastructure, large rural population, higher ethnic and religious diversity index, and 11 UNESCO World Heritage Sites provide strong foundations for rural tourism. However, significant challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited marketing, restricted access to financing, ethnic conflicts, environmental degradation, and insufficient stakeholder cooperation hinder its growth. To address these barriers, the study proposes a model encompassing strategic investments in infrastructure, enhancing marketing and promotion, access to finance initiatives, conflict resolution strategies, sustainable tourism practices, enhancing stakeholder coordination, and supportive policy frameworks. By employing these strategies, Ethiopia can harness the full potential of its rural tourism sector, contributing to economic development and community well-being while promoting cultural preservation and environmental sustainability. Also, the proposed model is highly applicable to other developing economies that share similar contexts. Besides, given the importance of the seven fundamental pillars of the model, it remains relevant across tourism types like coastal destinations.

Authors: Dutra Vitória Nader , Toporoski Elizeu Luiz , Ningeliski Adriane de Oliveira
Published: December 2024

A expansão das tecnologias no mundo todo, especialmente da Inteligência Artificial (IA),está impulsionando uma profunda transformação, a qual no universo jurídico não repercute de maneira diferente. Diante desse cenário, os tribunais buscam adaptar-se, incorporando as inovações, a fim de otimizar os processos e a tomada de decisões. No entanto, surgem grandes dúvidas sobre o uso seguro de tais tecnologias autônomas, bem como se princípios fundamentais como o princípio da fundamentação das decisões judiciais, são respeitados. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar sobre a (im)possibilidade de utilizar inteligência artificial, total ou parcialmente, nas decisões judiciais, a partir da obrigatoriedade imposta por lei de que há a necessidade de fundamentar as decisões judiciais. A metodologia de abordagem empregada na produção deste estudo é a dedutiva, considerando-se o entendimento de que a inteligência humana não pode ser substituída por inteligência artificial nas decisões judiciais, haja vista o dever de fundamentação previsto na Lei. Ao fim, concluiu-se que as IA’ s podem ser utilizadas como ferramentas auxiliares, mas a responsabilidade pela decisão final e por sua fundamentação continua sendo do juiz.

Authors: Silva Gabriela Wisovaty da , Toporoski Elizeu Luiz
Published: December 2024

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a influência da mídia no Tribunal do Júri e suas implicações para o princípio da presunção de inocência. Ainda, cabe neste demonstrar como a exacerbada cobertura midiática, em casos de grande repercussão, pode moldar a opinião pública e antecipar julgamentos, que resultam na condenação dos acusados antes mesmo do contraditório, o que compromete a imparcialidade dos jurados. Para tanto, aborda-se o contexto histórico e o procedimento do Tribunal do Júri, assim como analisam-se os princípios que regem esse instituto, sobretudo, da presunção de inocência e da liberdade de imprensa. Desta análise, verificou-se que ambas são pilares fundamentais do Estado Democrático de Direito, que por sua vez, podem frequentemente entrar em conflito. Para o objetivo deste estudo, foi utilizado o método indutivo, com uma abordagem qualitativa, de caráter descritivo e explicativo, empregando-se para a coleta de informações, o procedimento da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. O resultado parte da busca de um ponto de equilíbrio que garanta tanto a liberdade de imprensa quanto o direito à presunção de inocência, a fim da resolução da colisão desses direitos fundamentais e, para tanto, utiliza-se a ponderação, de acordo com as circunstâncias do caso concreto.
A possibilidade de mudança da guarda como forma de prevenção da alienação parental
Authors: Neudorf Cassieli Vitória , Bueno Mariza Schuster
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo busca analisar a possibilidade de mudança da guarda como forma de prevenir a prática de alienação parental, proporcionando o crescimento do relacionamento sadio. Assim, o problema desta pesquisa tem como propósito questionar se a mudança de guarda é uma forma de prevenir a prática de alienação parental perpetuada. O objetivo geral é analisar o instituto da guarda e consequente proteção à alienação parental prevista na Lei n. 12.318/2010. Os objetivos específicos são: abordar a importância do instituto da guarda no direito de família brasileiro como forma de proteção aos filhos; identificar os princípios de proteção à criança e ao adolescente; abordar a Lei de Alienação Parental, sua finalidade e como ocorre sua aplicação nos tribunais brasileiros. A metodologia é dedutiva, qualitativa, partindo de uma premissa geral para chegar a uma conclusão sobre um tema específico, por meio de análise em obras literárias, artigos científicos e papers dos últimos 10 (dez) anos, bem como a Constituição Federal de 1988, o Código Civil e decisões jurisprudenciais. Conclui-se que a prática de alienação parental é extremamente prejudicial às crianças e aos adolescentes, gerando traumas que podem ser carregados durante toda a infância e vida adulta. A guarda compartilhada é a melhor forma de inibir a conduta da alienação parental, vez que ambos os genitores passam a participar da vida dos filhos em conjunto, tomam as decisões em conjunto, e os filhos possuem a oportunidade de conviver com ambos, não sendo privados do contato com o genitor que não detém a moradia fixa; caso que seria mais difícil de ser observado em eventual guarda unilateral.

Authors: Li Mengyuan , Jiang Hongwei , Wang Yunchang , Li Fujun
Published: December 2024

Background

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that affects approximately 90% of end-stage renal disease and poses a significant threat to long-term survival and quality of life in patients.

Objectives

To assess whether radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a productive and low-risk treatment for hyperparathyroidism secondary to CKD.

Methods

Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and PubMed were searched independently by two authors. The results after RFA and baseline biochemical indicators were compared, and parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum calcium, and serum phosphorus levels were the major outcomes.

Results

Four retrospective studies were screened out from 147 original literature and involved 118 cases. After RFA, serum PTH levels (1 d standardized mean difference [SMD] = −2.30, 95% confidence interval [CI] = from −3.04 to −1.56, P < 0.0001; 6 months SMD = −2.15, 95% CI = from −3.04 to −1.26, P < 0.0001; 12 months SMD = −2.35, 95% CI = from −3.52 to −1.17, P < 0.0001), serum calcium levels (1 d SMD = −1.49, 95% CI = from −2.18 to −0.81, P = 0.0001; 6 months SMD = −1.09, 95% CI = from −1.51 to −0.68, P < 0.0001), and serum phosphorus levels (1 d SMD = −1.37, 95% CI = from −1.67 to −1.07, P < 0.0001; 6 months SMD = −1.06, 95% CI = from −1.35 to −0.78, P < 0.0001) decreased significantly.

Conclusions

RFA, the newest thermal ablation technique, can effectively and safely treat hyperparathyroidism secondary to CKD. Hoarseness is the most common complication but is reversed within 6 months.

In veterinary medicine, 1% Cyclopentolate hydrochloride (CP) has emerged as an intermediate-term cycloplegic and mydriatic agent. This study evaluated the pupillary dilation time and systemic effects related to the use of 1% CP eye drops in cats. Fifteen cats, aged 1 to 6 years and weighing 2.5 to 7 kg, were included in the study. After receiving written consent from the owners, each cat was administered two drops of 1% Cyclopentolate, 10 minutes apart, into both eyes. Data on pupil dilation, systemic symptoms, and behavioral changes were collected and analyzed using frequency and descriptive statistics. Pupillary dilation was observed 30 minutes after administering the second drop of 1% CP. The duration of pupillary dilation was 36 hours for 26.6% of the eyes, 48 hours for 53.4%, and 60 hours for 20%. Within the first hour after medication administration, seven cats exhibited episodes of salivation and vomiting, and four displayed behavioral changes, including aggressiveness and increased vocalization. Results suggest that 1% CP eye drops cause mydriasis for at least 36 hours and can lead to temporary adverse effects on the gastrointestinal and nervous systems.
Dissecting Deception Operations. A Longitudinal Analysis
Authors: Toroi George-Ion
Published: December 2024

As the ongoing conflict in Ukraine demonstrates, deception tactics remain a critical component of military plans, especially on the modern battlefield, which is rich in sensors and information from multiple sources. As it is harder to conceal forces and prevent detection, armed forces must concentrate on hiding their intentions in order to gain surprise and preserve weaknesses. In this endeavour, deception continues to be essential. But in a time of ubiquitous information and rapid technological advancement, successful deception has become more challenging, but also more critical than ever. Through a qualitative analysis, the study seeks to offer a deeper comprehension of its underlying mechanisms in this particular context. This longitudinal research examines a variety of written sources after the 2nd World War until today to identify common topics in planning and executing successful deception operations in order to overcome the challenges of today’s transparent battlefield.

Published: December 2024

One of the most dangerous issues in river engineering is erosion brought on by the flow around bridge piers, which causes failure. As a result, simulating scouring is a crucial technique for assessing the likelihood of scour-related bridge failure. The scour depth surrounding hydraulic structures (non-uniform piers) was investigated using various computational and laboratory models. This study examines the efficacy of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in generating simulations of the scour depth along a bridge pier via the Flow3D software (version 10.1.1.3). k-ε model is built to more accurately consider the generation of turbulent kinetic energy and the anisotropic characteristics of the turbulence. The model’s calibration and verification are assessed using statistical metrics (Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and coefficient of determination (R2)). Based on the statistical criteria, it may be concluded that the model’s results were promising because the discrepancy between the numerical and experimental models is negligible. The Froude number has been demonstrated to be a crucial factor that must be considered during the construction of piers, since reducing it will result in a decrease in longitudinal velocity and turbulent kinetic energy. Also, the Flow-3D program accurately reproduces the scour depth, flow, and velocity near the pier.

This study focused on the out-of-plane beam behavior and the reduction caused by changes in the longitudinal axis and the out-of-plane span length in addition to the effect of adding torsion reinforcement. Five RC beams (150*200*2000) mm with constant cross section and reinforcement (except two with additional torsion reinforcement) were cast and tested under two points of monotonic load. The results showed that the existence of the out-of-plane part reduced the ultimate load by (80%), and the two out-of-plane span lengths (150mm and 300 mm) were different in behavior, that the outof-plane span (300 mm) behaved as under pure torsion while the (150 mm) behaved like under flexural and torsion loads. The worst case was for the beam with an out-of-plane part (150 mm), and the effect of adding torsion reinforcement enhanced the ultimate load by (80%) for the beam with an out-of-plane part (300 mm) whilst by (5%) for the beam with out-of-plane part (150mm).

This research aims to identify the optimal noise concrete barrier mix through two critical stages. The initial step involves calibrating a traffic noise model via a field survey at 18 locations, encompassing volume counts and noise levels at varying distances. The subsequent step entails laboratory tests on different concrete barrier materials. The researchers developed two regression models. In the laboratory, they investigated five barrier types: reinforced, three variations of foamed concrete, and foamed concrete without aggregate. Employing a 92 dB noise source, they measured noise levels at distinct distances from the barrier. Ultimately, foamed concrete without aggregate emerged as the most effective barrier, potentially reducing noise levels by up to 46.4% at a distance of 3 meters with the use of this barrier.
The Potentials of Integration in the Historical Khan of Al-Exandria-Babylon

Contemporary trends focus on exploiting the value of historical buildings and actively involving them in urban development projects, The integration policy is a middle ground between preserving the building as it is and demolition and removal, that is, integration aims to achieve a balance. Most of the historical buildings in Iraqi cities, including the Khans, suffer from the absence of a clear vision of the factors of urban integration in the levels and dimensions of the relationship between the historical building and its urban surroundings. The research assumes that the approach to the integration process depends on the determinants of the historical value of the building and its urban surroundings. The research aims to determine the approach for Khan of Alexandria according to the determinants of its historical value and the type of integration. The research relied on the analysis of previous studies to build a theoretical framework for the concept of urban integration according to the determinants of historical value, the visual and functional characteristics of the buildings and the surrounding spaces were analyzed, and the questionnaire was designed according to the extracted indicators. . The theoretical framework Showed that urban integration depends on valuable indicators such as the availability of architectural symbols and connotations, availability of aesthetic characteristics, availability of current function, integrity of origin, originality of materials, etc. These indicators were applied according to a questionnaire system for architectural and conservation experts and another model for indicators for users of the urban area in Al Khan. The applied results of the study area showed that the integration of the Khan requires integration into its urban environment in addition to the integration of the building itself, as the Khan needs functional integration due to the lack of economic value of the Khan, and the urban environment needs spatial integration (visual and functional) due to the loss of most historical values and functions that would reintegrate the Khan with its urban surroundings and not harm its historical value.

Prestressed concrete bridges represent a massive part of our infrastructure. The state of the prestressing is crucial for the load-bearing capacity and remaining service life of these structures. Harmful factors, for instance, corrosion negatively affect the prestressing steel and consequently the level of prestressing. The risk of corrosion is higher if the ducts are not injected (or partially injected) by cement grout. Therefore, the detection of the state of the prestressing steel is an important part of the diagnostic survey which should be performed on existing prestressed concrete structures. This paper describes the outcomes of a diagnostic survey performed on four segmental post-tensioned road bridges built in the 1970s. Specifically, one single-span bridge, one three-span bridge, and two two-span bridges are pivotal objects of this study. These bridges’ prestressing has been assessed and the outcomes have been evaluated with final recommendations for the administrator. To sum up, the prestressing of assessed bridges was in relatively good condition with none or only local corrosion. Consequently, the overall prestressing level should not be hugely affected, but certain actions from the administrator are required to repair detected failures and extend service life.

Cities need to take serious steps to improve the living conditions of their citizens and their surrounding environment as the population of urban centers grows. Parking spaces have a clear potential to contribute to city sustainability. The research problem is that there is high energy consumption by residential buildings for multiple purposes and a significant increase in outdoor temperatures. Photovoltaic panels are a popular classification of sustainable rooftops adopted by cities around the world. This study aims to evaluate the impact of photovoltaic panels and trees in achieving sustainable development goals and combating climate change. In order to mitigate energy consumption and environmental issues related to fossil fuels and provide thermal comfort. The hypothesis of the research is that the use of renewable energy sources such as solar panels, in addition to vegetation can provide thermal comfort in addition to energy savings. The pilot study was conducted in residential complex in Iraq, Baghdad. Two different strategies and four separate scenarios were created using vegetation and photovoltaic panels. Envi-met 5.5.0 software was used to analyse and evaluate thermal comfort factors (PET, SVF) and simulated using ENVI-MET software on a summer day in July 2023. The results of the scenarios were then compared in terms of their impact on human thermal comfort. The results revealed a decrease in (PET) by (8.32) degrees Celsius, which achieved international standards for outdoor pedestrian comfort. As well as shading areas less exposed to sunlight with trees, in addition to providing shade to protect cars from weather factors, and finally providing electricity to homes.

Reducing water turbidity is one of the main issues the water industry is currently experiencing. The ability to predict the spatial probability and intensity of discoloration events in distribution systems can lead to the adoption and improvement of proactive operation and maintenance strategies to reduce turbidity. The main objective of this study is to forecast Using the Prediction of Discoloration in Distribution Systems (PODDS model), simulate the turbidity response in the Al-Saray water distribution network caused by higher flow rates and a change in the daily demand pattern for water consumption. The work covered AL -Saray water distribution network. with took into account the two feed flowrate (FFR) values of the AL-Saray water network, which were (522 and 5870) m3/day. The turbidity response was observed to be low when daily flows were supplied to the network, but it increased as the flow increased. The maximum turbidity response was observed when water was fed into the Al-Saray water network at a flowrate of 5780 m3/day. the material layers are conditioned to daily flow, or shear stress. However, when the flow increases due to an increased demand for water, the fluid’s shear stress exceeds the material layers’ shear strength, which leads to the material becoming mobilized.
