Periodismo y redes sociales alternativas del Fediverso: estudio de la presencia de medios nativos digitales y matriciales en Mastodon
Authors: Quian Alberto , López-García Xosé , Soengas-Pérez Xosé
Published: September 2024

Introducción: Se analiza la presencia de periódicos en Mastodon, la plataforma social más popular del Fediverso y alternativa a X (Twitter) en este ecosistema de redes descentralizadas e interoperables. Metodología: De una muestra (n=38) de nativos digitales y matriciales de España se obtuvo una submuestra de periódicos (n=20) y cuentas (n=28) en Mastodon. Se identificaron cuentas oficiales y no oficiales, bots y no automatizadas, activas e inactivas, instancias en las que se alojan y accesos directos en los sitios web de los medios. También se identificó la fecha de creación de las cuentas para comprobar si aparecieron antes o después de la compra de Twitter por parte de Elon Musk, operación que disparó la popularidad de Mastodon. Resultados: Identificamos 13 cuentas oficiales (10 nativos y 3 matriciales), ninguna en instancias propias, y 15 cuentas no oficiales (9 matriciales y 6 nativos) conectadas por RSS por administradores de instancias de Mastodon. Los matriciales muestran mayor proporción de cuentas activas que los nativos digitales. La proporción de cuentas automatizadas es alta para ambas categorías. Se observa un “efecto Musk” en la creación de cuentas. Solo elDiario.es y El Salto (nativos digitales) ofrecen accesos en sus sitios web. El País (matricial) tiene la cuenta más antigua y El Salto es el que mayor compromiso muestra con esta red. Discusión: Los medios analizados no aprovechan todo el potencial de la soberanía tecnológica que proporciona Mastodon. Conclusiones: La plantilla usada y los resultados abren vías de investigación sobre una plataforma social (Mastodon) y un ecosistema (Fediverso) apenas explorados en el campo periodístico.

Published: September 2024

Family planning is “the conscious effort of couples and individuals to plan and have the desired number of children and to regulate the spacing and timing of births. In countries with resource shortages, it is difficult for women to access medications and devices for birth control. The study aimed to evaluate the use of FP methods by Somali women aged 15-49 living in Turkey. A survey consisting of 60 critical questions was prepared the prepared survey was administered face-to-face with the subjects in 15 provinces. Family planning is under pressure from Somali women's cultures, traditions, social lifestyles, incomes, and religious beliefs. The rate of pregnancies under the age of 18 is 1/5. The rate of those who do not use the FP method is 1/3. The income level is at the poverty line. Obstetric problems will be reduced if education and organized health delivery support are planned correctly to improve FP.
Assessing the Effects of Street Morphology on Thermal Comfort in Hot Arid Urban Environments
Authors: Abdullah Shahd Abd El Fattah , Hassan Susan Abed
Published: September 2024

The research examines the influence of street morphology on the thermal comfort of pedestrians by studying urban climate dynamics and their various levels. It also explores the formation characteristics of open urban spaces and their impact on thermal comfort. The study focuses on two streets in Al-Adhamiya, Baghdad a city characterized by a hot, arid climate. These streets include Al-Officers Street, with contemporary urban planning, and the roads of Al-Shuyoukh locality, with traditional urban planning. The research involved analyzing the components of both streets and calculating the street width ratio to building height in the field. A questionnaire was also conducted to compare the perceived thermal comfort of pedestrians on both roads. The findings reveal that thermal comfort improves when the street width-to-building height ratio approaches 0.5, as observed in the streets of the Al-Shuyoukh locality. Additionally, using traditional building materials, such as bricks, contributes positively to thermal comfort. Conversely, a higher ratio, coupled with high-heat-absorbing materials like glass and concrete and increased traffic congestion, produces a heightened perception of heat and discomfort. These insights underscore the importance of urban design and material choice in enhancing thermal comfort in hot, arid climates.
OPTIMAL LOGISTICS OF THE SUPPLY OF WOODCHIPS FOR THE WORKING NEEDS OF A BOILER PLANT ON THE EXAMPLE OF “KRUSIK“ ENTERPRISE, VALJEVO
Authors: Dedić Aleksandar , Milenković Milan , Dedić Minja , Svrzić Srdjan , Halas Dragan
Published: September 2024

In the introductory part of the paper, the structure of wood waste and its energy potential compared to other energy sources, as well as a very favorable price for obtaining energy from it. The importance of wood waste is emphasized, whether it originates as a residue from forest felling or as waste obtained from the processing of technical wood for industrial purposes. Larger granulation waste, characteristic of forest logging, must be shredded for smooth operation of the boiler or CHP plant. Pieces of larger granulation with admixtures of impurities can block the operation of the screw conveyor, which is used to deliver wood waste either to the daily silo or to the boiler firebox. In order for this not to happen, the classification of wood chips and ensuring its quality are established by standards. The standards prescribe the determination of: chip granulation, its elemental composition, moisture content, ash content, upper and lower thermal power, chip granulation, etc. They are a prerequisite for the high-quality valorization of wood chips as a renewable source and ecological fuel in which combustion products do not contain SOx components, while the presence of COx components is reduced to a minimum in comparison with fossil fuels, taking into account the low-temperature combustion. On the example of a company that opted for biomass boilers, a techno-economic analysis which included the transportation problem minimization costs is used to consider variant solutions and draw conclusions regarding: buying wood chips directly from the producer or own production of wood chips by purchasing round wood and chipping. The conducted analysis is a help and guide for other companies that have decided for biomass boilers and thereby achieve significant energy savings and contribute to ecology.

Waterway system Danube-Tisa-Danube had been developed in several stages in the period of 1947-1977. It is a multifunctional system, with irrigation and ship traffic being its primary roles. The system comprises entirely 20094 km of channels (929 km being transmission channels) with appurtenant infrastructure (dams, weirs, ship ports and navigation locks, drainage pumping stations, bridges, electric transmission lines). The system is actively used for irrigation purposes only several months per year. During the rest of the time the system is almost passive. Such regime of exploitation allows for installing system of SHPPs in order of active utilization of available hydraulic and hydropower capacity (entirely 11 SHPPs, of combined installed capacity 17.55 MW and average annual energy generation of 77.39 GWh). Detailed overview of the SHPPs and their technical characteristics is presented.

Reabilitação oral em pacientes com síndrome da combinação: revisão de literatura
Authors: Silva Filho Luis Carlos Bezerra da , Melo Eduardo Henriques de
Published: September 2024

Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura, acerca das alterações bucais desenvolvidas pelos pacientes acometidos pela síndrome da combinação, apontar as causas que levam a esse distúrbio e relatar alternativas protéticas. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo narrativa. A busca dos artigos foi realizada de forma digital, nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Scientific Electronic Library Online e Google Acadêmico, utilizando os seguintes descritores: síndrome da combinação; síndrome de Kelly; prótese total. prótese parcial removível; prótese total; reabsorção óssea/diagnóstico; maxila; sistema estomatognático; planejamento de prótese dentária/métodos. A síndrome da combinação ou síndrome de Kelly apresenta-se a partir de um conjunto de características marcantes que ocorrem quando uma maxila desdentada se opõe a dentes anteriores inferiores naturais. Essa conjugação pode promover perda óssea na região anterior da maxila, crescimento das tuberosidades, hiperplasia papilar dos tecidos do palato duro e da fibromucosa da região anterior, extrusão dos dentes anteriores inferiores e a perda óssea sob a base da prótese parcial inferior. O tratamento da síndrome da combinação objetiva devolver ao paciente uma oclusão balanceada, minimizando a carga de oclusão na região anterior da maxila. Conclui-se que é fundamental atentar-se ao correto diagnóstico dos sinais de destruição dos tecidos de suporte, como também estabelecer quais as necessidades pré-protéticas para possibilitar um adequado manejo reabilitador no paciente. Ao instituir um plano de tratamento para esses casos, a literatura sugeriu como melhores as próteses implantorretidas.
Principais associações em complicações biológicas em próteses sobreimplante: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Zuffo Diogo Matheus
Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste artigo foi apresentar as principais associações em complicações biológicas em próteses sobreimplante. Como metodologia de pesquisa empregou-se a revisão sistemática de literatura, por meio da busca nas plataformas SciELO, PubMed e Periódicos da CAPES. As palavras-chave foram “implante dentário”, “prótese sobre implante” e “complicações biológicas”. A busca resultou em uma série de artigos nacionais e internacionais, que filtrados pela relação direta com a temática e com o recorte temporal de dez anos, identificou os principais resultados da literatura científica atual sobre as associações mais frequentes em complicações biológicas em implantes. A partir deste do estudo da saúde peri-implantar, peri-mucosite, peri-implantite, de outras doenças sistemáticas, e com ênfase em um estudo observacional e retrospectivo de complicações biológicas realizado entre o período de 2016 a 2021, concluiu-se que há uma prevalência de peri-implantite em pacientes reabilitados com implantes, com maior incidência no gênero feminino. Os indicadores demonstraram que a frequência de complicações é maior nos implantes que não foram sujeitos a reabilitação, seguidos por reabilitações em coroas, e ocupando a 3ª posição a reabilitação em próteses sobreimplantes. Ainda, observou-se que quanto maior a necessidade de colocação de implantes, maior a probabilidade do desenvolvimento de complicações.
Complicações protéticas em implantodontia
Authors: Vescia Guilherme Patias
Published: September 2024

A reabilitação com implantes dentários é uma prática comum para substituir dentes perdidos. Existem duas opções: próteses parafusadas ou cimentadas. No entanto, esses tratamentos podem apresentar complicações protéticas, biológicas e estéticas. Implantes unitários com coroas cerâmicas é uma alternativa preferível, evitando preparos em dentes, mas podem enfrentar o desafio de fraturas. Próteses múltiplas parafusadas têm o risco de lascamento da cerâmica, especialmente com intermediários angulados. Overdentures implantossuportadas são menos invasivas, mas podem ter complicações com O-ring e intermediários. A escolha entre conexões internas e externas, com ou sem intermediário, afeta a prevalência de afrouxamento, favorecendo as conexões internas. A seleção da coroa protética depende de critérios específicos, considerando falhas e complicações de cada tipo, cimentada ou parafusada. Portanto o presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar as nuances e complicações associadas às diferentes abordagens de próteses sobre implantes para tomar decisões clínicas informadas.
A study of color association in Pixar’s animations: an analysis of color based characters
Authors: Andrade Isabella Martins , Varzim Marta
Published: September 2024

This paper focuses on color and its use as an associative element to emotions, capable of conveying meanings and messages. This topic intends to explore the visual communication area as a means of investigation and analysis in communication design, focusing on studying the films by Pixar Animation Studios. Therefore, a statistical method was utilized based on the character’s colors and emotions. This way, a statistical correlation was generated using specific software for statistics. It was possible to identify the intensity of those correlations (strong, moderate, and weak). So, it was possible to gather a data amount that was subsequently compared based on color theory. Based on the correlation between color and emotions, it was possible to have a better understanding and a scientific approach when comparing it with color theory. Thus, through color theory, one can interpret the character’s color on a chromatic level. It can be just the character or it as a whole in the movie. Then, with the theory, previously established about color in the design, it was viable that the colors analyzed in this work were related to the character’s emotions that they were supposed to convey. Which makes it a narrative element to associate color and emotion in Pixar Animations.
P. A. Kulakovsky — Correspondent of “Novoe Vremya”
Authors: Котов А.Э.
Published: September 2024

П. А. Кулаковский (1848–1913) принадлежал к младшему поколению славянофилов. Еще в студенческие годы сойдясь с И. С. Аксаковым и Ю. Ф. Самариным, он одновременно ориентировался и на публицистику М. Н. Каткова, выходя, таким образом, за рамки «старого» славянофильского кружка. Научные труды Кулаковского, такие как «Вук Караджич» и «Иллиризм», пусть и уступая своим масштабом работам Н. Я. Данилевского и В. И. Ламанского, тем не менее являются значительным вкладом в отечественную славистику того периода. Как и многие гуманитарные исследования того времени, они были не лишены публицистического элемента, однако и последний, как правило, носил концептуальный характер. С конца 1870‑х гг. Платон Андреевич вел и собственно публицистическую деятельность. Его многочисленные корреспонденции с Балкан знакомили русского читателя с общественно-политической и культурной жизнью в славянских странах. Главным для Кулаковского изданием была газета «Русь» И. С. Аксакова. Охотно публиковался он и в «Московских ведомостях» М. Н. Каткова, хоть и выражал недовольство редакторской политикой последнего. Третьим изданием, в котором с конца 1870‑х печатались статьи Кулаковского, было «Новое время» А. С. Суворина. Из наиболее значимых публикаций, вышедших на страницах этой газеты, следует отметить статьи, посвященные преподаванию русского языка в Сербии, сербскому династическому кризису 1882 г., а также цикл писем из Хорватии, посвященных событиям 1884 г.

P. A. Kulakovsky (1848–1913) belonged to the younger generation of Slavophiles. Even in his student years, having become friends with I. S. Aksakov and Yu. F. Samarin, he was simultaneously guided by the journalism of M. N. Katkov, thus going beyond the scope of the “old” Slavophile circle. Kulakovsky’s scientific works, such as “Vuk Karadzic” and “Illyrism,” although inferior in scale to the works of N. Ya. Danilevsky and V. I. Lamansky, nevertheless, are a significant contribution to Russian Slavic studies of that period. Like many humanitarian studies of that time, they were not without a journalistic element, however, the latter, as a rule, was of a conceptual nature. Since the late 1870s. Platon Andreevich also conducted journalistic activities. His numerous correspondences from the Balkans introduced the Russian reader to the socio-political and cultural life in the Slavic countries. The main publication for Kulakovsky was the newspaper “Rus” by I. S. Aksakov. He also willingly published in M. N. Katkov’s “Moskovskie Vedomosti”, although he expressed dissatisfaction with the latter’s editorial policy. The third newspaper, in which Kulakovsky’s articles were published from the late 1870s, was “Novoe Vremya” of A. S. Suvorin. Among the most significant publications published on the pages of this newspaper, it should be noted articles devoted to the teaching of the Russian language in Serbia, the Serbian dynastic crisis of 1882, as well as a series of letters from Croatia dedicated to the events of 1884.

Authors: Ritthipakdee Amarita , Ryu Keun Ho , Visutsak Porawat
Published: September 2024

Objective: This study develops a recommendation system for cultural attractions in Bangkok, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The system aims to streamline travel planning and enhance tourist experiences by suggesting relevant attractions based on location and interests.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research utilizes association rules and data mining to identify patterns in tourist behavior, and recommender systems to provide personalized suggestions. It also incorporates principles of sustainable tourism, balancing economic, social, and environmental considerations.
 
Method: Data on 30 cultural attractions along Bangkok's BTS Skytrain green line was collected through interviews and questionnaires. The FP-Growth algorithm identified patterns and associations, generating rules for recommending attractions based on proximity and interests, while considering SDG alignment (cultural heritage, local communities, environmental impact). The method's performance was compared to decision tree and random forest approaches.
 
Results and Discussion: The proposed method generated five rules, achieving accuracy between 68.69% and 87.38%, outperforming the benchmark methods. The system's potential to improve tourist experiences, promote sustainable tourism, and aid urban planning is highlighted. Limitations include the dataset size and focus on a single transit line, suggesting future expansion and integration with SDG considerations.
 
Research Implications: The system can be integrated into platforms to provide personalized, SDG-conscious recommendations, enhancing experiences and encouraging responsible tourism. The study showcases data analytics' value in aligning tourism with the SDGs.
 
Originality/Value: The research introduces a novel approach, applying association rules for cultural attraction recommendations in Bangkok with an explicit SDG focus. The system's personalized recommendations based on location, interests, and SDG alignment streamline travel planning, foster fulfilling experiences, and contribute to the global sustainable development agenda.
Preventing Tax Base Erosion from Tax Treaty Abuse For SDGS in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Thuy Trang , Vuong Thị Thu Hien , Nguyen Dinh Chien
Published: September 2024

Objective: Tax treaties represent an important aspect of the international tax rules of many countries, especially in globalizing era. The taxing rights of the states is one of the biggest issues in cross border transactions because it decides the budget revenue deriving from tax. Tax base, tax base erosion and tax base erosion prevention are topics that have received a lot of attention recently in Vietnam in order to protect government’s revenue for sustainable development goals (SDGs).
 
Method: By analyzing the current status of Vietnam's double taxation agreements (DTAs), the authors assessed the current situation and identifying risks of tax base erosion from abusing Vietnam's DTAs. The study focuses on analyzing the indicators to assess the content of DTAs such as the Source Index (SI), Permanent Establishment Index (PEI) and Withholding Tax Index (WHT) of Vietnam’s DTAs with the ones of groups of countries.
 
Results: The authors found that there are loopholes in DTAs creating conditions for abuses of the terms of the agreements and causing tax base erosion in Vietnam. Comparing to the average level of developing countries, the DTA system of Vietnam is higher, however, the biggest limitation and the biggest risk from the system of DTAs are these agreements are agreements signed by Vietnam with the countries/territories that have the lowest scores and are in the group of countries/territories with the largest amount of investment capital in Vietnam.
 
Contribution: The study makes some recommendations for Vietnam to prevent tax base erosion from tax treaty abuse by reviewing and considering negotiating to update the content of the bilateral tax agreements, promoting participation in multilateral tax agreement and improving efficiency of tax audit.

Authors: Abidoye Yusirat , Mustapha Rabi , Haruna Khalid
Published: September 2024

This work presented a novel approach to dynamic collision avoidance in mobile robots by integrating a hybrid Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) and Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) algorithm. This combined approach aimed to enhance the robot's navigation capabilities in dynamic environments by leveraging the complementary strengths of both DDPG and ANFIS. The model achieved significant achievements, including a high efficiency score of 0.97012, a robustness rating of 1 (indicating no collisions during testing), consistent maintenance of a 0.2-meter safety distance, and a success rate of 97.8%. Additionally, the average completion time of 5.154 seconds demonstrated its real-time decision-making capability, making it suitable for time-sensitive applications. The proposed hybrid algorithm improved the robot's obstacle detection and decision-making abilities, leading to superior performance in dynamic obstacle avoidance scenarios

Published: September 2024

Background: the proliferation of IoT devices has had a significant impact on our daily lives. However, the adoption and use of these devices is still faced with challenges that border around security and privacy of the users. Research efforts have focused on detecting security issues in transmission of packets in the wireless sensor networks, which these IoT devices operate optimally to achieve their mission. One of the major security and privacy concerns in such systems that is yet to receive significant attention is the vulnerabilities in the devices’ operating systems. These vulnerabilities, once exploited, security and privacy are compromised, and the cost associated with this is high. Aim: this research aimed to explore the use of machine learning in the detection of vulnerabilities in IoT devices’ operating systems source code. Method: Modelled as a supervised learning problem, Al-Boghdady’s labelled dataset was used to train and test Linear Support Vector Classifier (LinearSVC), Support Vector Classifier (SVC), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost) and Extreme Trees Classifier (Extra-Trees). Results: LinearSVC achieved the best performance in the Binary classification tasks with test accuracy of 97.83%, weighted F1-Score of 0.98 and macro F1-Score of 0.96. In the multiclass classification, Extra-Trees achieved the best performance compared to other stated classifiers by achieving 97.52% classification accuracy, weighted F1-Score of 0.98 and macro F1-Score of 0.99. Compared to the benchmark classifier (Random Forest), it achieved comparable performance. Therefore, it is recommended for deployment following that it has the capability of minimizing overfitting problems. The implication of these results is that it helps in the identification of source code level vulnerabilities in order that they might be fixed and thereby, enhancing the security and privacy of IoT devices and networks.

The Workforce of the Community Health Programs in the Partido District, Camarines Sur, Philippines: Through a Gender Lens
Authors: Gumba Bernadette G.
Published: September 2024

Community Health Workers (CHW) assume vital roles in their communities. However, women health workers are concentrated into lower status, lower paid and often unpaid roles, facing harsh realities of gender bias and harassment. The study analysed the plight of Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) through a gender lens using the conceptual tool of Pierik which asserted that one of the two main uses of the concept of ‘patriarchy’ is to describe a system of structural male domination over women. It investigated if and how this was manifested in the structures and operations of the Community Health Programs (CHP). It utilized survey research design, key informant interview and written document analysis. The system as claimed by Pierik was evident across the social, economic and political spheres of the BHWs’ life. All respondents happened to be women. Majority were married, middle-aged, with low education, had no other jobs before becoming a BHW, and belonged to a poor household. These may be consequences of gender inequality where women missed the opportunities of education, employment and intended benefits of the law. Gender bias was reflected on the lack of women’s representation in the local executive and legislative units which made decisions on the Community Health Programs (CHPs). This study traced that the situation of the BHWs is systemic, shaped by a patriarchal culture embedded in the structures and operations of the CHP. In order for the program to be supportive of its workforce, it should promote gender equality and counteract gender bias, gender stereotyping, and undervaluing of women’s work.

Published: September 2024

This study explores the experiences of regional topnotchers in the Criminologists’ Licensure Examination from Region 2, Cagayan Valley. It identifies the preparations and characteristics that enabled these individuals to achieve top rankings. Interviews were conducted with five selected participants, who graduated in different years and resided in the region. The study used semi-structured, in-depth interviews to gather information on exam preparation, review strategies, and success factors, followed by qualitative thematic analysis to identify key themes from the participants’ quotes. The findings reveal that successful top scorers used key strategies such as goal setting, interest-driven engagement, thorough preparation, and participation in review programs. They also emphasized the importance of physical exercise, balance and efficiency, confidence, and strong faith in God in their review preparation. During their preparation for the board exam, these topnotchers faced financial challenges and significant pressure for various reasons. However, they emphasized the importance of a supportive network, a solid educational foundation, exposure to diverse and progressive learning methods, and intensive training which contributed significantly to their success. Targeted efforts aimed at enhancing these identified strategies and attributes could facilitate the effective adoption of best practices among future exam takers aspiring to emulate their success.

Comparison Among Deep Learning Approaches and Biomarkers in Early Detection of Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Goswami Gunjan , Prasad Bhanu
Published: September 2024

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that is affecting millions of people worldwide. There is a lot of research reported on using different biomarkers and different deep learning (DL) approaches for the early detection of PD. However, there is no research reported on which biomarker is better suited when a specific DL model is used and vice versa. This research is aimed at addressing this issue. We use two widely used DL-based methods, Autoencoder (AE)-based and Convolution Neural Network (CNN)-based, to find out which one is better suited for PD classification when imaging, voice, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are used for evaluation. Further, we explore which biomarker, among imaging, voice, and CSF, is better suited for PD classification when the AE-based approach and CNN-based approach are used for evaluation. Two variants of AE-based approaches, Sparse AE (SAE) and Stacked Sparse AE (SSAE), are implemented in this research. The biomarkers' values are used from publicly available databases. Various experiments are conducted by using several performance parameters, and it is observed that (i) SSAE is better than SAE as well as CNN for the considered MRI, CSF, and voice features, based on the average of all the performance parameters' values for training as well as for testing datasets, and (ii) MRI is better than CSF as well as voice features for the considered SAE, SSAE, and CSF frameworks, based on the average of all the performance parameters' values, for training as well as for testing databases: for training databases, these values are 91.83% for MRI features, 84.55% for voice features, and 74.88% for CSF, and for testing databases, these values are 96.53 % for MRI features, 92.08 % for voice features, and 85.51% for CSF.

Energy Aware Competition-Based Unequal Clustering Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Gupta Rohit , Chauhan Vinith
Published: September 2024

In wireless sensor networks, there is a limitation of energy resources. For the enhancement of the network's operational lifetime, energy resources need to be utilized efficiently. In this paper, the energy aware competition-based unequal clustering (EACUC) protocol is suggested where issues related to energy efficiency and energy holes are addressed. In the EACUC protocol, the competition radius is calculated with the help of two parameters, that is, distance from BS and residual energy, and also the cluster radius is further resized based on the node degree. The most appropriate nodes are identified as cluster heads in a competition radius after consideration of two vital parameters: residual energy and node degree. In the suggested EACUC protocol, to lessen the communication overheads, the cluster structure is kept for a set count of communication rounds. The results are simulated in MATLAB, and the performance of the suggested EACUC protocol is compared with four existing protocols: energy-efficient uneven clustering (EEUC), energy aware unequal clustering using fuzzy approach (EAUCF), unequal cluster radius based on node density (URBD), and energy aware unequal clustering algorithm (EAUCA). The results show that EACUC protocol enhances the network operational life by 11.12%, 22.98%, 30.96%, and 46.26% for scenario-1 (base station at center) and 10.63%, 16.41%, 28.21%, and 33.34% for scenario-2 (base station at the corner) compared to EAUCA, URBD, EAUCF, and EEUC, respectively. The outcomes permit the significant improvement in the network lifespan for the suggested EACUC protocol and guarantee consistent energy consumption in addition to resolving the energy hole issue.

Growth of bacteria is collated with Brownian motion
Authors: Pavithra S. , Jayalalitha G.
Published: September 2024

Biological complex akin like the cell exist primarily investigate by taking a look at the biophysical effects of its internal perform. Pathogens are sole that is evolving in ecology. In this paper germination of bacteria and its evaluation of supplanting can be research by Brownian motion which is developed by one dimensional wave equation. Brownian motion can influence the movement of bacteria themselves. While bacteria possess flagella or other appendages for directed movement Brownian motion can still affect their overall movement, causing them to move in a somewhat random or diffusive manner. Overall, Brownian motion plays a fundamental role in the micro scale dynamics of bacterial growth by facilitating nutrient dispersion and influencing bacterial movement within their environment.Growth is conferred employing by pixel profile software. Cluster pattern of bacteria forms complexity.

Computing the solution of hybrid fuzzy differential equations with the application of He’s variational iteration method
Authors: Shobanapriya M. , Ramachandran M.
Published: September 2024

The expanded idea of higher-order fuzzy differentiability is used in this manuscript to propose the He’s Variational Iteration Method (HVIM) as a solution for hybrid fuzzy differential equations (HFDE). An alternate technique that was taken from the literature was contrasted with the discrete solutions that were produced. Less time is spent thanks to the new method’s lower computational cost. We assume that there exists a Hukuhara differentiable fuzzy function and its derivative. To show the effectiveness of the approach, a numerical example was shown.

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the perceptions of bank employees towards green finance at ICICI Bank, focusing on how internal stakeholders view and engage with sustainable finance practices. The research aims to evaluate the impact of green finance on environmental sustainability, financial sector resilience, regulatory compliance, market opportunities, and corporate social responsibility. Utilizing a sample of 126 bank employees from two branches, L.B. Nagar and Uppal, the study employs a structured questionnaire and primary data analysis to assess familiarity, knowledge, and attitudes towards green finance. Findings reveal that while a significant portion of employees are familiar with and knowledgeable about green finance, there is a need for further education and increased training participation. Awareness is high regarding renewable energy financing but low for green bonds and carbon credit trading. Key motivators include financial returns, reputational benefits, and management support, with high implementation costs and regulatory constraints identified as major barriers. The study provides insights into enhancing ICICI Bank's green finance strategy, emphasizing the need for improved awareness, training, and internal communication.
