Published: July 2023

Nigeria has been facing energy crisis for several years to meet the growing energy needs. Therefore, for sustainable environment and to contribute towards carbon neutrality, it is very much crucial to introduce energy audit in every sector in order to cut the growing demand. As such, this paper focuses on walk-through energy audit of Faculty of Engineering building in Federal University Dutsin-Ma. Data was collated manually and “Microsoft Excel” tool was used to analyze the building’s energy consumption. Electrical systems in the building were partitioned in to 68% for Surface panel light, 19% for Fan, 8% for AC, 3% for Fridge, 1% for Computer, 0.2% for projector, and 0.4% for printer and TV respectively. The result obtained shows total connected electric load as 131254-watt, with 10480-watt for lighting, 3380-watt for electrical equipment and 117394-watt for cooling and ventilation systems. Moreover, average individual energy consumption per day was found to be 463-kWh for AC, 151-kWh for Fan, 73-kWh for lighting, 23-kWh for fridge, 0.3-kWh for printer, 0.4-kWh for projector, 0.7-kWh for TV, and 10-kWh for Computer. The result also revealed that lighting systems have the highest percentage on number of appliances, whilst cooling and ventilation parameters have the highest power consumption amongst other parameters. Therefore, energy conservation measures discussed for AC being the highest energy consuming appliance may result to optimistic energy saving. Furthermore, reliable environmental-friendly alternative energy source that is up to 131-kW can be use to power lighting, cooling & ventilation and electrical appliances of the Faculty building.

A Leading but Simple Classification Method for Remote Sensing Images
Authors: Song Huaxiang
Published: July 2023

Recently, researchers have proposed a lot of deep convolutional neural network (CNN) approaches with obvious flaws to tackle the difficult semantic classification (SC) task of remote sensing images (RSI). In this paper, the author proposes a simple method that aims to provide a leading but efficient solution by using a lightweight EfficientNet-B0. First, this paper concluded the drawbacks with an analysis of mathematical theory and then proposed a qualitative conclusion on the previous methods’ theoretical performance based on theoretical derivation and experiments. Following that, the paper designs a novel method named LS-EfficientNet, consisting only of a single CNN and a concise training algorithm called SC-CNN. Far different from previous complex and hardware-extensive ones, the proposed method mainly focuses on tackling the long-neglected problems, including overfitting, data distribution shift by DA, improper use of training tricks, and other incorrect operations on a pre-trained CNN. Compared to previous studies, the proposed method is easy to reproduce because all the models, training tricks, and hyperparameter settings are open-sourced. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets show that the proposed method can easily surpass all the previous state-of-the-art ones, with an outstanding accuracy lead of 0.5% to 1.2% and a remarkable parameter decrease of 78% if compared to the best prior one in 2022. In addition, ablation test results also prove that the proposed effective combination of training tricks, including OLS and CutMix, can clearly boost a CNN's performance for RSI-SC, with an increase in accuracy of 1.0%. All the results reveal that a single lightweight CNN can well tackle the routine task of classifying RSI.
Smart Transformation of EFL Teaching and Learning Approaches
Authors: Md. Russell Talukder
Published: July 2023

The calibration of the EFL teaching and learning approaches with Artificial Intelligence can potentially facilitate a smart transformation, fostering a personalized and engaging experience in teaching and learning among the stakeholders. The paper focuses on developing an EFL Big Data Ecosystem that is based on Big Data, Analytics, Machine Learning and cluster domain of EFL teaching and learning contents. The framework has been developed on the basis of the theory that machine learning algorithms, when exposed to structured or semi-structure data stored in the cluster domains of EFL Big Data ecosystem, can cull out the patterns, similarities, and differences existing in the contents of the domains. Later these machine learning algorithms can apply these already identified patterns to perform new tasks on open Big Data platform and identify similar contents to be stored in the respective cluster domain of EFL Bigdata Ecosystem without being supervised. Accordingly, the paper uses two membranes to construe its framework, namely (i) Open Big Data Membrane that stores random data collected from various source domains and (ii) Machine Learning Membrane that stores specially prepared structured and semi-structured data. Theoretically, the structured and semi structured data are to be prepared skill-wise, attribute-wise, method-wise, and preference-wise to accommodate the personalized preferences and diverse teaching and learning needs of different individuals. Within the machine learning membrane, the paper includes a number of stages such as knowledge building, development of cluster domain of the EFL contents, integration of skill-wise cluster domain with the CEFR attribute-wise teaching and learning approaches, machine learning of the personalized preferences, resonating, machine learning of the cluster domain for proximity development and sustainable operation. The ultimate goal is to optimize the learning experience by leveraging machine learning to create tailored content that aligns with the diverse teaching and learning needs of the EFL communities. Developing a prototype following the framework exerts the potentials to provide an ‘alternative to methods’, transforming the process of learning into a process of acquisition.
Alonso, A., & Arzoz, I. (2021). El desencanto del Progreso. Para una crítica luddita de la tecnología

Published: July 2023

‘The Disenchantment of Progress. Towards a Luddite Critic of Technology’ is a book by Andoni Alonso and Iñaki Arzoz,which was ready for publication in 2019, although it appeared two years later, in 2021. This review focuses on the theoretical changes from the authors’ perspective on technology by taking into account the time lapse of almost twenty years between two common publications: Cybergolem. The Fifth Digital Column: Communal Anti-treatise of Hyper-politics, which they published in 2005, and The Disenchantment of Progress, published in 2021. Following the theses argued in this second book, the initial hopes on internet, a cyberspace that tried to share open access to information and increase the democratic grade of society at an international level, have failed. Being capable of developing self-criticism and exercising intellectual honesty, the authors propose to develop what they have called reflexive Luddism, a term explained along the review.
Animals: Who Gave You the Right to Experiment with My Body?
Authors: Stamati Ioanna - Maria
Published: July 2023

The Science Fiction genre has been a means for humans to comprehend reality. A major part of the fantasies in the genre is cross-species beings of human and animal DNA. Recent studies show that in some countries the legislative framework accepts research and experimentation with guinea pigs to create cross-species beings with transhumanistic purposes. According to Bokota the umbrella term to refer to the results of the above phenomenon is Chimeras. The results of this technological process are unquestionably impressive but, who has gotten permission from these animals to use their bodies and take their genetic material for the possibility of humans to survive a bit longer than expected? This study focuses on the definition of the human, the monster, and their bodies, on bio-ethical issues that highlight the fragile equality of beings and answers to the question of whether Chimeras can be an alternative term to refer to Posthumans.

Making sense of contented couples—insights from attachment theory and emotionally focused couple therapy (EFT)
Authors: Power Anne
Published: July 2023

This article builds on an earlier piece in this journal (Power, 2018) which hypothesised about the differences between three routes into relationship: random romance, arranged marriage, and self-arranged relationships. Interviews with three couples, one from each tradition, are used to explore how attachment dynamics were creating both a challenge and a resource for each couple. This article uses psychoanalytic thinking to inquire about mate-selection, and then attachment theory and emotionally focused couple therapy (EFT)(Johnson, 2012) to understand how these couples built a long-term attachment bond in each tradition. The couples’ own words are presented with reflections by the author in order to demonstrate challenges that couples face and ways in which they can sometimes manage these.

How attachment transformed my palliative practice: discovering the palliative paradox
Authors: Rhodius Christiaan
Published: July 2023

Attachment theory described by John Bowlby greatly influenced the perception of relationships. The theory proposes a framework for thinking about relationships—the propensity of mankind to seek closeness to particular others. Attachment behaviour and the longing for a secure base are focal points within the concept of attachment. Both are thought to play a role from cradle to grave. In palliative care (with approaching death as the ultimate threat to connection) dynamics in relationships will inevitably change. This article introduces the concept of “the palliative paradox”, a perspective on dynamics within the relational realm. It provides a framework for clinical thinking and points to possible interventions. It can also be used as a means of psycho-education for patients and family. As such “the palliative paradox” can provide insight for clinicians, patients, and family alike. This enables all involved into becoming and being a secure base for each other. The presence of a secure base amidst the process of separation makes it possible to die connected. Thereby increasing the quality of life, the focal point of palliative care.

Published: July 2023

Children as perpetrators of crimes will also experience a legal process that is identical to adults who commit crimes, the meaning of the word identical here means "almost the same", which differs only in the length and way of handling it. Facing and handling the juvenile justice process involved in a crime, the first thing that should not be forgotten is to look at his position as a child with all of his special characteristics and characteristics, thus the orientation is based on the concept of protection of children in the process of handling them so that things this will be based on the concept of child welfare and the interests of the child. Handling children in the legal process requires an approach, service, treatment. The Southeast Aceh Resort Police as the leading institution in law enforcement has a sizable responsibility to harmonize the duties and authorities of the Police, especially in Southeast Aceh District as stipulated in Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police, in dealing with children in conflict By law, the police always have to pay attention to the condition of children who are different from adults. The nature of children as individuals who are still unstable, the future of children as national assets, and the position of children in society who still need protection can be used as a basis for finding an alternative solution how to prevent children from a formal criminal justice system, placing children in prison, and stigmatization of position of the child as a convict. The investigation process is an initial stage where a child is confronted with the police. Irregularities that usually often occur in the process of investigating child crimes in the form of abuse, beatings and other bad treatment certainly experience obstacles so that efforts are needed to achieve the goal of protecting children who are in conflict with the law, especially perpetrator of the crime of torture.
The Influence of Mass Media Channels on Mental Illness Stigmatization among Students in Kenya Medical Training College
Authors: Maina J. Kamau  , Kenneth Goga Riany
Published: July 2023

Mental illnesses have been known to distress the general population as a whole. Notably, no social demographic is exempt from mental illnesses with the modern dynamics and challenges increasing the magnitude of mental illness. Students especially in higher learning institutions are not spared from the over-increasing mental illnesses. Despite the challenges brought about by mental illnesses among the students, stigmatization of the mentally ill has been high among them. This has seen increased drop-out of school, total insanity and sometimes suicide due to lack of psychosocial support among the mentally ill students, especially their peers. The mass media has been a critical tool of communication. However, there is little evidence on its role in mental health stigmatization hence this study seeks to assess the role of mass media channels on the mental illness stigmatization among college students. The research utilized the descriptive survey design and where both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to collect and analyze the data. The target population of this study comprised of the students at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC). There were 51045 students in the college as of July 2022. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the students. The data was analysed using mixed method analysis where both quantitative and qualitative data was analysed. The quantitative data was analysed using inferential and descriptive statistics through SPSS. Content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data.  The findings revealed that mass media channels played a critical role in determining the spread of information and the perceptions of mental illness among students. The channels of mass media communication were found to instigate mental illness stigmatization among college students. Digital media was found to have the strongest influence on mental health stigmatization followed by broadcasting media, print media and outdoor media. It is recommended that these channels of mass media ought to be more positive and encourage students to uphold and accept the mentally ill to minimize stigmatization.

Authors: Mousapour Hamid , Chakeri Hamid , Darbori Mohammad , Hekmatnejad Amin
Published: July 2023

Purpose. One of the most common problems in mechanized excavation is the cutting tool wear, which has a great impact on the final cost of the project and its duration. Also, one of the most important factors affecting the wear of cutting tools is the operating parameters of the tunnel boring machine (TBM). Within the framework of this research, a tunnel boring machine laboratory simulator was designed and constructed to investigate the tunnel excavation process in the laboratory. Methods. A few of the features of this device are that it operates horizontally, has a low rotation speed, keeps the pins in contact with fresh soil throughout the test, and has the possibility of measuring the torque of the device during the test. A study of the cutting tool wear was conducted using granulation prepared from Tabriz metro line 2, as well as using operating parameters of mechanized excavation machines, such as penetration rate and cutter head rotation speed. Findings. The research results showed that by reducing the rotation speed of the cutter head from 35 to 10 rpm, the average wear of cutting tools is reduced by 63%. Also, by reducing the excavation time from 80 to 10 minutes, the cutting tool wear is reduced by 58%. The wear of cutting tool increases with increasing moisture content from 0 to 10%, and then decreases with increasing moisture content from 10 to 25%. Originality. During this research, a new device was designed and built to simulate tunnel excavation mechanisms. This laboratory simulator measures wear percentage, penetration rate and torque. Practical implications. There has been significant progress in predicting soil abrasion rates, but there are few accepted models for predicting cutting tool wear and soil abrasion rates. During the design and construction of the tunnel boring machine laboratory simulator, the effect of operating parameters on wear of cutting tool was examined.

Purpose is to identify a dependence of basalt raw material fine screening upon the operating and structural parameters of sieving equipment. Methods. The research results have been obtained relying upon comparative analysis of basalt raw material fine screening upon the operating and structural parameters of sieving equipment. In this regard, the analyzed grading efficiency characteristics were defined for three densities of basalt rock mass mined in open pits. They are γ = 1.4 g/сm3 for tuff; γ = 2.2 g/сm3 for lava-breccia; and γ = 2.6 g/сm3 for basalt. The rock mass components are extracted selectively and processed separately. Findings. Expediency of complex mining and processing of three basalt rock mass components (being tuff, lava-breccia, and basalt) as well as their selective treatment has been identified. Mathematical modelling has helped generate regression models of fine basalt raw material sieving upon the operating and structural parameters of a screen. The regression models as well as the represented calculation results are indicative of strong correlation between the efficiency of fine basalt raw material screening and the factors involved by the regression models (i.e. rock mass density; inclination angle of a disturbance force of a vibration exciter of a screen; inclination angle of a screen effector; mesh size; specific load on a screen; disturbance frequency of a screen drive; and a screen length). Originality. For the first time, dependencies of fine basalt raw material sieving efficiency upon the operating and structural parameters of a screen have been modelled mathematically. Based upon the multifactor experiment, ideas have been developed concerning the fine grading process; selection of boundaries of each parameter control; and determination of the efficiency as well as a law of changes in technological parameters while controlling them. Practical implications. Use of the findings will help make adequate solutions while selecting instrumental conditions of an operation schedule to prepare basalt raw material for its integrated processing.
Relation between air and soil pollution based on statistical analysis and interpolation of Nickel (Ni) and Lead (Pb): Case study of Zagreb, Croatia
Authors: Račić Nikolina , Malvić Tomislav
Published: July 2023

Purpose. This paper focuses on the comparison of Ni and Pb concentrations in air and soil pollution in the Zagreb area. Due to the very limited amount of publicly available data from soil analysis samples, 2016 and 2019 were chosen as the best possible indicators of related changes in metal concentrations in soil and air. Methods. Testing the normality of Ni and Pb concentrations in the total deposited matter (TDM) confirmed the feasibility of using two parametric statistical tools – the Pearson correlation coefficient and the t-test. The Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation method was selected as the best approach for a small number of measurements. Findings. The insufficient amount of data is the main shortcoming for urban health policy in a large area like Zagreb. The small number of air measurement stations and especially soil sampling sites cannot lead to any reliable conclusions about urban pollutants, their activity over time and direct links to soil toxic degradation based on statistical or geological methods and analyses. However, there is no doubt that urban pollution sources fill the soil with accumulated toxic elements such as Ni and Pb, especially in suburban areas located along the paths of the dominant wind directions. Originality. This is an original research that for the first time statistically analyzes and maps publicly available air and soil pollution data for the period 2016-2019. Practical implications. This research is a necessary step in determining the future planning of air and soil measurement stations in the Zagreb urban area.
Parameter estimation of HFMD infection in Malaysia with SIR model
Authors: Hanis Nasir  , Fuaada Mohd Siam
Published: July 2023

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a mildly infectious disease that happens to children due to low body immunity against viruses. In this paper, a simple SIR model is employed to represent the dynamics of HFMD in Malaysia. A weekly reported data of HFMD infection from week-1 of 2017 to week-36 of 2018 is used in the mathematical analysis. The procedure of parameter estimation is implemented in order to identify the parameter of the SIR model that fits the model with the reported data. The fminsearchbnd routine is used to minimize the objective function, which is the sum of absolute error minimization. By the Chi-squared test, the estimated parameters are reasonable. Based on the average value of the basic reproduction number R0, HFMD infection will remain to exist in the population under the current condition. Overall, this finding may be useful for public health personnel to reduce disease infection risk by planning more effective prevention strategies.

Published: July 2023

Abstract: Traffic accidents are one of the biggest contributors to injuries and fatalities worldwide. Victims of traffic accidents range from minor injuries to severe injuries and even death. The severity of many accidents is often due to a lack of discipline and public awareness of traffic rules and safety measures. Car manufacturers have attempted to mitigate the effects of accidents by providing seat belts. However, many people neglect to use them, thinking that nothing will happen while driving. Even with fines imposed by authorities, people can outsmart them by removing their seat belts when officers are not around. To address this issue, a model has been developed to monitor drivers using artificial intelligence and computer vision. The camera captures images, which are then processed by a neural network trained with the YOLOv5 algorithm. The model has an average precision of 89% and a recall of 81%, and can accurately detect whether drivers are wearing seat belts or not. This model is expected to aid in improving driver and passenger safety on the roads. By paying attention to the use of seat belts, the severity of injuries sustained in accidents can be reduced.            Keywords: computer vision; neural network; seatbelt detection; yolo  Abstrak: Kecelakaan lalu lintas merupakan salah satu penyumbang terbesar cedera dan kematian di seluruh dunia.
