Authors: Kang Dongshik , Sasazawa Yoshiaki , Kobayashi Minoru
Published: October 2023

The approach from the teacher's side to improve the classroom is to establish a learning discipline and an improvement method. However, there are various ways to do this, and it is an important part of teachers' work. In this paper, we propose a system for estimating the level of interest from class videos as a means of knowing the learning status of individual students. Using OpenPose, the system detects a person in a class video and extracts feature data of his/her joints. And we measure the concentration level based on the information of posture, facial orientation, and other movements. In addition, assuming that a person's face is facing the direction of the target when he/she is concentrating, we measure the concentration level based on the information of posture, facial direction, and other movements.

Published: October 2023

This article analyzes the performance of the National Multiannual Programming and Investment Management System Invierte.pe in the field of defense. The objective of the research was to determine the effectiveness of Invierte.pe in improving the military capabilities of the armed forces for national defense. A quantitative approach was used with the review of State budget allocations for capital expenditure. For this, the analysis of the budget execution reports of the Ministry of Economy and Finance was used. It was found that there are differences in budget allocation by year, depending on the government in power, just as there are considerable differences in the allocation of resources and their execution in each institution of the armed forces. It was concluded that the effectiveness of Invierte.pe for national defense depends on the management of the institutions of the armed forces more than on the administrative system itself.

Businesses, Technological Innovations, and Responsibility
Authors: Abbas Aatif ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2023

This article argues that businesses are morally responsible for compensating the people harmed by their activities even if they were not negligent, i.e., the businesses took reasonable precautions. Critics of this position maintain that responsibility requires choice, and by taking precautions, businesses choose not to harm others. This article accepts their argument’s first premise but rejects the second premise. It contends that businesses often seek risky or innovative activities to increase profits, and the essence of innovative activities is that precautions cannot sufficiently reduce their foreseeable harmful consequences. The correct understanding of businesses’ decision-making enables us to appreciate that businesses choose to undertake risky activities while knowing that they can harm others despite preventive measures. It follows that preventive measures should not serve as an excuse against liability for harm.

Authors:   DBA Candidate, University of Quebec en Outaouais, Department of Administrative Sciences, Gatineau, Canada, Salehi Ali
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on business and project activities, particularly due to the lack of information about it. The experience of the pandemic indicated that due to the unknown nature of it and lack of suitable models, there was no clear strategy for managing projects in the crisis condition. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to develop a project management model for crisis situations and identify effective strategies to reduce project vulnerability during the pandemic period. For this purpose, a systematic review method was used. Based on this method, first the relevant articles were searched, then the relationships between their key concepts were plotted using VOSviewer, and finally 78 sources were selected in several steps. The results are presented in the form of answering research questions as well as developing a conceptual model that includes project management strategies in pre-crisis, crisis time and post-crisis situations. Accordingly, it can be said that Covid-19 pandemic has all characteristics of a serious crisis. Its origin is often external, and it usually happens all at once, so it reduces the opportunity for planning. Finally, it can last and continue. In addition, the model identifies key policy makers, participants, and project implementers in times of pandemic crisis. It is expected that the use of this model and strategies increase the PM’s knowledge and capabilities in crisis management in projects.

Authors: De Lima Henrique F. , Ramalho Andre F. A. , Velasquez Marco Antonio L.
Published: October 2023

In this article, we study the solutions for the mean curvature equation in a weighted standard static spacetime, \(\mathbb{P}_f^n\times_\rho\mathbb{R}_1\), having a warping function \(\rho\) whose weight function f does not depend on the parameter \(t\in\mathbb{R}\). We establish a f-parabolicity criterion to study the rigidity of spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in \(\mathbb{P}_f^n\times_\rho\mathbb{R}_1\) and, in particular, of entire Killing graphs constructed over the Riemannian base \(\mathbb{P}^n\). Also we give applications to weighted standard static spacetimes of the type \(\mathbb{G}^n\times_\rho\mathbb{R}_1\), where \(\mathbb G^n\) is the Gaussian space.

Ini sering terjadi pada wanita, yang sering disebut sebagai "standar ganda". "Standar ganda" adalah ketika prinsip yang berbeda diterapkan pada keadaan yang pada dasarnya sama. Akibatnya, perempuan bekerja masih dipandang negatif di masyarakat. Bekerja di luar rumah seringkali dikritik, terutama bagi perempuan yang sudah menikah dan memiliki anak. Bias gender dan diskriminasi gender seperti standar ganda dan ketidaksetaraan gender. Jenis kelamin masih dipatuhi secara umum, dan ada perbedaan yang jelas antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam hal pekerjaan yang harus mereka selesaikan.
As funções estratégicas dos Açores: uma tipologia | The Strategic Functions of the Azores: a typology
Authors: Fernandes Tomé Ribeiro
Published: October 2023

Este artigo propõe uma tipologia de seis funções estratégicas desempenhadas recorrentemente pelos Açores ao longo dos seus cinco séculos de história. Os Açores são utilizados diversas vezes como (1) teatro de refúgio; (2) reunião de forças; (3) plataforma de invasão; (4) apoio logístico; (5) estação informativa; e (6) trunfo diplomático. Na esteira da dicotomia sugerida por José Medeiros Ferreira dos Açores como “fronteira” ou como plataforma para a “articulação” entre continentes, com esta sistematização procura-se reduzir a complexidade histórica a categorias informadas por uma leitura dos acontecimentos através da lente teórica dos estudos estratégicos. Através dela, procuramos identificar continuidades essenciais e fatores que as determinam, assim como examinar a relação não linear entre a dinâmicas estratégicas dos Açores e a estratégia de Portugal. No contexto da incerteza que permeia o as perceções da utilidade estratégica do arquipélago após a redução de pessoal da Base das Lajes a partir de 2015, esta análise procura transferir os contributos da historiografia dos Açores para o campo da estratégia, e assim trazer algo de novo a esse debate.

The paper presents the results of an empirical analysis of the stability of taxpayers’ income paying in one of the Silesian tax offices. To assess the degree of income stability the author used Markov chains. Transition probability matrix was constructed, which was used to estimate the synthetic indicator of income stability. The analysis found that the income of taxpayers were characterized by a low degree of stability. The research stated that the probability of transition to a higher income group was lower than the probability of transition to a lower income group, and with the increase in the level of income generated, the probability of transition to a lower or higher income group decreased. The author proposed a growth measure of the income inequality distribution based on the ratio of transition probabilities in two extreme income groups.

Authors: Fatuła Dariusz
Published: October 2023

The article discusses the method of calculating the rate of household savings based on data from sample survey of household budgets and data from the national accounts (household sector). Significant differences in the values of saving rates calculated in both approach in years 2007–2011 were observed. Selected data items affecting the formation of savings category in both approaches were analyzed. Among the possible causes of differences in saving rates the following were discussed: limited ability of some households to separate the consumer and the production functions, taking into account income adjustment for the change in net equity of households in pension fund reserves as well as differences in the share of expenditure of significant items affecting this category. The goal of discussion is to propose changes in method or definition leading to alignment the value of the saving rates at the micro- and macro-economic scale.

Zakāt is one of the principles of Islam which aims at improving the socioeconomic condition of the poor by distributing the wealth of the society in such a manner that no member of the society is left uncared for. In Nigeria, the problem of multi-religious nature of the country makes it difficult to have a well-functioning zakāt management institution provided by the government to manage zakāt collection and distribution. Thereby, zakāt management is left to private Islamic organizations and mostly to the individual zakāt payers which rendered the management of zakāt ineffective as many Muslims still live in abject poverty since they do not feel the impact of the distributions of zakāt by Muslim groups. This paper is thereby designed to root out the factors inhibiting the proper functioning of zakāt management in the Southwestern Nigeria with the hope of putting forward appropriate solutions. The paper adopts a descriptive method where interview was used majorly to collect data from poor Muslims and the Muslim organizations that are involved in zakāt collection and distribution. Findings revealed that zakat institutions in the southwestern Nigeria have not achieved the aim of eradicating poverty among Muslim simply because, it is very difficult for the Muslim organizations to determine the rate of Nisāb of the wealthy individual that is due for the payment of zakāt since it is not managed by the government. This brings about the problem of insufficiency in the annual zakāt funds at the disposal of the groups. The paper recommends some of the things needed for the government to establish a ministry headed by the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) that will manage the collection and distribution of zakāt in order to take care of the poor, needy, and those put by the Qur’an under the beneficiaries of zakāt.
