Adaptive Psychosocial Competencies: Toward a Development of a Framework for Life Skills-Based Philippine Nursing Education Curricula
Authors: Sali Abdul Haiy A.
Published: May 2023

In the Philippines, the nursing curriculum has a solid liberal arts and sciences education with a transdisciplinary approach. In their formative years, the most common source of stress for student nurses was related to academics. However, countries around the world formalize initiatives on life skills education to promote adaptive psychosocial skills and abilities to achieve holistic development. The study aimed to explore and examine the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and its implications for life skills education in the curricula. This study employed a qualitative research design, mainly through needs analysis, literature review, and theoretical synthesis. The investigation revealed that the academic rigor and practice of the nursing program influenced students’ ability to cope with stress. The full nursing curriculum is considered eclectic; however, life skills competency integration needs to be more obscure. The nursing curriculum must have a striking balance of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. Furthermore, life skills education in nursing must uphold caring as the core value proposed in the Humanistic Life Skills Framework for Nursing. Life skills education should be strengthened, which is imperative in the current nursing program.

Quizá termina siendo cierto aquello que dice Žižek, respecto a que la ideología no es un velo que oculta una realidad existente, como tradicionalmente se ha creído. Esta, por el contrario, muestra la realidad tan de frente, que parece imposible no dejar de vivir en ella y asumirla como si no se pudiera hacer nada por el destino de la humanidad. Es decir, parece ser que el curso de la historia, o como diría Hegel, su espíritu, nos lleva a vivir el actual acontecimiento de cosas sin la más mínima posibilidad de cambiarlo, y por esta razón el hombre se debe adaptar a la lógica del actual sistema mundial, así esta conduzca al hombre y su casa a la autodestrucción. La evidencia de la falta de cuidado que el hombre tiene con el planeta en la actualidad es notoria. Se podría decir que todas las personas saben que con sus actuaciones dañan cada vez más su hogar y su propia existencia, pero, a pesar esto, razones que parecen ser más poderosas como el consumo desenfrenado, las apariencias homogenizadas y la avaricia instan a que se siga actuando de esta manera sin importar las consecuencias.

Hoy son los tiempos de la preocupación del futuro, venimos sintiendo y se nos viene insistiendo en que cada vez más se nos cierra las posibilidades de sobrevivencia, estamos en tiempo de crisis, no una crisis parcial, es decir, en un campo específico del acontecer humano, sino una crisis sistémica, en todos los campos a los que pertenece y en los que actúan los seres humanos, lo social, lo económico, lo político, lo educativo, lo religioso, lo jurídico, entre otros, entendidos todos como constitutivos de los ambiental. Todos estos, según la Política Nacional de Educación Ambiental (pnea), como sistemas constitutivos de lo ambiental. Ahora bien, la concepción de crisis, a la par con la concepción de caos, no significa desesperanza, sino alternativas, posibilidades de reorganización, de entender que lo realizado hasta el momento requiere nuevas formas de ser abordado, de ser observado, de ser rechazado, bien lo plantean González y Toledo (2011) al manifestar que «son tiempos de la preocupación por el futuro, de la inseguridad provocada por una modernidad cada vez menos capaz de dotarnos de un provenir sin riesgos» (p. 13). Y es esto lo que quizás nos incita a pensar de forma permanente, y a crear y recrear las formas de dar repuesta al conjunto de problemáticas que diariamente emergen en los diferentes contextos en los cuales intervienen los humanos. Ya que, permanentemente la ciencia nos está ofreciendo nueva PRESENTACIÓN 14 información sobre los diferentes y fuertes impactos de estas intervenciones, que están generando desequilibrios de escalas inimaginables que afectan la totalidad del sistema ambiental. Lo que aquí se presenta, aunque mantiene una perspectiva de carácter regional, se convierte en una invitación para que todos aquellos que están pensando el problema ambiental, y en este mismo sentido la educación ambiental, y que estén realizando intervenciones de formas diversas a partir de sus propias alternativas, realicen un proceso de observación crítica en el cual puedan identificar cuáles han sido los impactos de sus propuestas en los contextos en los cuales intervienen. Esto con el fin de re-crearse y trascender hacia otras formas de configurar la intervención de manera que la participación consciente sea el eje transversal de aquella. Lo anterior permite entrever que la posición que se asume parte de la necesidad de conocer la historia, para aprender de ella, para entender las formas en las cuales se desarrollan las dinámicas y sus resultados.

Absurdo, trágico e morte: um olhar caleidoscópico em O estrangeiro, de Albert Camus, e em O quarto fechado, de Lya Luft – Trouxeste a chave?
Authors:   , Varela Mariane Almeida
Published: May 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar possíveis configurações das noções de absurdo, de trágico e de morte em O estrangeiro, do escritor franco-argelino Albert Camus, e em O quarto fechado, da autora brasileira Lya Luft, partindo do princípio de que os romances são herdeiros de uma tradição instaurada na Modernidade, a partir do século XIX, na qual o ser humano começa a experimentar uma fragmentação do eu, da subjetividade e da individualidade devido aos processos de industrialização cada vez mais acelerados e à exploração social e trabalhista. Procuramos demonstrar que os personagens, seres fragmentados e dilacerados, submetidos a experiências intimamente relacionadas a condições absurdas e trágicas, vivenciam diversas facetas desses elementos constitutivos a partir de um elemento comum: a consciência da inevitabilidade da morte. Dividido em quatro capítulos, o presente estudo busca situar os autores e os romances historicamente a fim de compreender como Albert Camus e Lya Luft seinserem em uma tradição de autores considerados sombrios e pessimistas, demonstrar algumasfacetas que o absurdo e o trágico podem apresentar, a depender dos contextos e normas sociais, literárias ou filosóficas às quais as noções estão submetidas, analisar os romances a partir do ponto de vista dos personagens, que experimentam frequentemente as condições absurdas e trágicas, e, além disso, precisam saber lidar com o fenômeno da morte em suas nuances físicase simbólicas. Percebemos que os personagens, de forma geral, procuram romper o ciclo viciosono qual se encontram, em uma luta constante entre Eros e Tânatos, vida e morte, objetivando encontrar soluções para a fragmentação do eu, para a condição absurda e trágica, para a morte e para uma vida plena e satisfatória. Palavras-chave: Absurdo. Trágico. Morte. Albert Camus. Lya Luft.
Leituras e leitores de Boca do Inferno (1957), de Otto Lara Resende
Authors:   , Portes Daianny Duque
Published: May 2023

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo o estudo do segundo livro de contos de Otto Lara Resende, Boca do Inferno, publicado pela primeira vez em 1957. Esse estudo, no centenário de Resende, visto que o escritor nasceu em 1922, focaliza a recepção da obra em seus três diferentes momentos de publicação, 1957, 1998 e 2014, e também discute, sob a luz de teorias sobre o leitor, o porquê de a obra, num espaço-tempo de 57 anos, ter sido alvo de críticas contrastantes. Os sete contos de Boca do Inferno - “Filho de padre”, “Dois irmãos”, “O porão”, “Namorado morto”, “Três pares de patins”, “O segredo” e “O moinho” - apresentam narrativas bem construídas pelo olhar atento de um narrador contido que tende a provocar aquele que lê. A dúvida, sempre presente, por vezes, anda de mãos dadas com os inúmeros segredos e não-ditos dos contos, e, nesse labirinto de incertezas, analisamos os contos “O porão”, “O segredo” e “O moinho” com o intuito de realçar essa narrativa de omissões e segredos de Otto Lara Resende, mas também de investigar o lugar do leitor em tais histórias. Palavras-chave: Boca do Inferno. Otto Lara Resende. Recepção crítica
O discurso religioso sobre o aborto: análise comparativa entre o discurso do padre Paulo Ricardo e do pastor Silas Malafaia
Authors:   , Russi Glicéria Márcia Saraiva Paes
Published: May 2023

Neste trabalho, iremos analisar discursos de dois religiosos cristãos, o padre Paulo Ricardo, presbítero da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana e Silas Malafaia, pastor e líder religioso da igreja Assembleia de Deus Vitória em Cristo, acerca da temática do aborto, trazidos por eles através de vídeos que foram postados por ambos em seus respectivos canais na plataforma Youtube. A análise foi realizada através da Teoria Semiolinguística, abordagem que se situa na linha teórica da Análise de Discurso, empreendida pelo linguista Patrick Charaudeau. Dessa forma identificaremos quais propostas são defendidas por eles e as estratégias discursivas utilizadas por cada um, apontando as semelhanças e diferenças entre elas, a fim demonstrar ao final a formulação acerca dos imaginários projetados a respeito dessa temática no domínio da prática religiosa brasileira. Essa pesquisa nos permitiu perceber que mesmo os discursos dos dois religiosos serem muito diferentes em relação à organização argumentativa, eles apresentam semelhanças importantes em relação as “visadas” principais, às identidades dos sujeitos, que referem-se a representantes religiosos, além de ambos defendem uma mesma tese de que existe uma conspiração e uma manipulação da população para que a lei brasileira se altere em relação à criminalização do aborto. Todo esse envolvimento de representantes religiosos em manifestações midiáticas de caráter político deixa clara a tentativa da igreja em manter o controle do estado a fim de manter seus fiéis firmes em suas convicções através de ordenamentos que ultrapassam o domínio religioso e visam uma adesão dos cidadãos aos princípios impostos pelas igrejas. No caso específico do aborto verificamos que há um engajamento das frentes cristãs para que projetos de leis que visam a descriminalização desde não passem pelo congresso deixando intrínsecas as representações de crime e pecado.

Authors: Karuga Charles , Yatich Henry , Wairimu Kibe
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The study sought to assess the influence of competitive priorities strategy on organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Methodology: The study adopted the positivism research philosophy and the concurrent triangulation research design. The target population consisted of eight cement production companies located in the counties of Kisumu, Nairobi, Mombasa, Machakos, Nakuru, and Kajiado were the subject of the study. The study purposely excluded Savannah Cement Limited from the main study since it had been “temporarily” shut down at the time of data collection due to financial and ownership wrangles. Census sampling method and proportional stratified random sampling were used to select 365 employees which included 37 managers, 322 non-managers and 6 CEOs. Both primary and secondary sources were used to gather data for this study, and both quantitative and qualitative data gathering techniques were employed. The qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis technique (Hsieh & Shannon, 2015), while the quantitative data was analyzed using MS Excel 2016 and IBM's SPSS version 28.

Findings: the study results indicated that competitive priorities strategies is an operational strategy that is often utilized by the cement manufacturing firms to improve their organizational performance. This was supported by the high level of agreement in all statement by most of the respondents. The study also concluded that competitive priorities strategies had a positive and significant relationship with organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya. The regression results led to the rejection of the null hypothesis, thus adopting the alternative hypothesis; competitive priorities strategy has a significant influence on organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The theory used in this study advocated for the need of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya, to focus on identifying strategic resources that are critical for success and improved performance of the industry. Hence, the theory will also be applicable to other studies with such related research topics. The study recommended that the management of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya should invest more in automated systems especially in production and delivery so as to increase their production, operational and supply-chain efficiency. They should also invest in better training programs so as to equip their employees with the necessary skills needed to improve their work efficiency. Moreover, policymakers should also formulate better policies to enhance the competitiveness between manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Authors: Karuga Charles , Yatich Henry , Wairimu Kibe
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The study examined the influence of structural decisions strategy on organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Methodology: This research employed the positivism philosophy and concurrent triangulation research design. The research was conducted in the Kenyan cement industry. The eight cement production companies made up the target population of the research and are located in the counties of Kisumu, Nairobi, Mombasa, Machakos, Nakuru, and Kajiado were the subject of the study. Whereas, the units of observation of the research comprised of all employees in the 7 cement firms. The research, further, used the census method and the stratified random sampling technique to select a sample size of 365 employees included 37 managers, 322 non-managers and 6 CEOs distributed per company. The study data was then gathered using a questionnaire and interview schedule for main data collection and a secondary data collection sheet for secondary data collection.

Findings: The findings of the research revealed that structural decision strategy is one of the operational strategies that is employed by the cement manufacturing firms to influence their organizational performance. This was according to the high level of agreement by most of the respondents noted in the descriptive results. The study also found  that structural decision strategies had a positive and significant relationship with organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya. The regression results also led to the rejection of the null hypothesis, thus adopting the alternative hypothesis; structural decision strategy has a significant influence on organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The theories were relevant to this study as they emphasized on the need to identify both the dysfunctions and functional effects of particular structural arrangements on organizational performance of cement firms. Thus, the theories will also be applicable to other studies with such related research topics. The management of cement firms should effectively take part in the decentralization of management structures and specialization of departments in order to improve managerial efficiency and employee performance. Policymakers should establish operating policies and procedures that are supportive of the firms’ set objectives and goals.
Deficiency of the ATP Synthase Caused by nt 8993 Mutation and its Impact on Human Health
Authors: Zhang Bohan
Published: May 2023

The ATP synthase in mitochondria was responsible for the synthesis of ATP to provide chemical energy for the cell to achieve metabolism. The point mutation at the mitochondrial DNA nt 8993(T>C and T>G) disrupted the normal cellular mechanism of the ATP synthase, causing a deficiency in the production of ATP synthesis. The mitochondrial nt 8993 mutation causes a replacement of leucine amino acid with an arginine(aL156R), changing the sequence of the mitochondrial ATP6 gene, which causes an inefficiency in the c-subunit of the ATP synthase. The potential effect of the nt 8993 mutation can be expressed in Leigh syndrome, which exhibited in neurologic weakness, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa. In this review, we will go over the structure of the ATP synthase, mechanism of the mitochondrial nt 8993 mutation, and potential cellular mechanisms to eliminate the mutation.

Authors: Almehanya Farqad Hayder
Published: May 2023

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) indicators were carried out to prepare the genetic fingerprints of six species of the genus Tegates. The discrepancies between the replicates of each species (their numbers and molecular sizes) were revealed after the replicates of the samples were migrated onto agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide. 10 primers were selected, which showed different replication products among the studied species, as those primers showed 63 polymorphic bands out of 468 total bands. Each selected starter produced between 23 bands (OPD-18) to 78 bands (OPF-04). The largest number of divergent bands (15 bands) generated by the primer OPD-13, while it appeared that the least number of divergent bands (3 bands) which was generated by the primer OPD-18. The primer efficiency ranged from 0.20 in (OPD-13) to 0.09 in (primer OPA-04). It was found in this study that the primer OPD-13 had the highest discrimination ability, while the primer OPD-18 had the lowest value of the discrimination ability. The lowest genetic dimension was (0.3755) between the two species T. erecta and T. patula, while the largest genetic dimension was (0.8466) between the two species T. patula and T. tenuifolia. The phylogenetic tree through the unweighted pair-group method of arithmetic means (UPGMA) that is, based on the tree of phylogenetic relationships revealed two main genetic groups. The general analysis of the results showed that the genetic relationships between the species of the genus Tegates are related to some morphological traits as well as to the original origin and at the level of molecular genetics.

Ha lesz is működő kormánya Bulgáriának, ingatag lesz; létrejöhet ugyan egyszerű többség, de alkotmányozó többség nem. Márpedig az alkotmányozó többség hatékonyabb lenne az ukrajnai háborúval kapcsolatban igen passzív Rumen Radev elnök elmozdítására, amely pozitívan befolyásolná Bulgária Ukrajna-politikáját. Bulgáriának mint lőszerszállító és mint NATO katonai bázisnak helyet adó állam jelentős szerepe van az ukrajnai háborúban. A belpolitikai bizonytalanságot súlyosbítja, hogy a gazdasági reformok csak hosszú távon hozhatnak eredményt, és az ország nyugat–kelet megosztottsága miatt is óriási nyomás lesz a következő kormányon.

Published: May 2023

O presente estudo propõe uma reflexão acerca de um instituto pouco falado na jurisdição brasileira. O objeto geral deste trabalho é destacar a importância da Investigação defensiva para o equilíbrio processual penal, garantindo ao acusado uma posição ativa no momento das investigações não mais se mantendo inerte. Será discutido a respeito do principal meio de investigação utilizado na primeira fase da persecução, que é o inquérito policial, levando em consideração o artigo 155 do CPP, e a possibilidade da convicção subsidiária do magistrado com base nos elementos colhidos na investigação. Além disso, analisar-se-á de forma breve a investigação defensiva no direito norte-americano e no direito italiano. Por fim, propõe-se aos operados de direito que adotem a investigação defensiva, já que com essa forma de investigação seria propiciado ao acusado uma maior paridade de armas com a acusação, além de fortalecer o sistema acusatório que é o adotado pelo ordenamento jurídico pátrio.

MATRIZ ELÉTRICA BRASILEIRA E AS TENDÊNCIAS FUTURAS
Authors: Tavares Leila Aley
Published: May 2023

A crescente preocupação com o meio ambiente e o cenário de mudanças climáticas tem levado à reflexão sobre as tendências futuras da matriz energética mundial. Assim, o setor elétrico brasileiro precisa adaptar-se às novas tendências globais de geração de energia, uma vez que as pressões internacionais para tornar a produção mais sustentável, eficiente e menos dependente das fontes não renováveis estão cada vez mais intensas. Atualmente, a principal fonte de geração de energia elétrica do país é a hidráulica, no entanto, ainda há um grande peso das fontes fósseis, como petróleo, carvão e gás natural. Dessa forma, o país tem apostado na diversificação da matriz elétrica, buscando especialmente fontes mais limpas, que não gerem gases de efeito Estufa. Nesse contexto, observa-se a necessidade de estudos cada vez mais aprofundados sobre a matriz elétrica brasileira, principalmente, na difusão das diversas opções de fontes geradoras. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho fornece uma visão geral das principais características da matriz elétrica brasileira e as tendências para o país. Como método de pesquisa, foi realizado um estudo bibliométrico, utilizando palavras-chave relacionadas ao tema, nas bases de dados científicos SciELO, Google Acadêmico e Web of Science. A análise dos dados mostraram que mesmo com diversas alternativas energéticas e um imenso potencial de recursos naturais renováveis, o Brasil ainda utiliza pouco dos seus recursos naturais. Espera-se, assim, contribuir com o setor elétrico brasileiro no que tange à difusão de informações e discussão sobre o tema frente à necessidade da expansão e diversificação da matriz elétrica nacional.

A quality control method is required to meet the needs of risk-based quality management systems with respect to critical data elements.OBJECTIVE: A quality control method, the endpoints dataset, is described to ensure critical efficacy endpoints data are identified and managed to guarantee fitness for purpose and support good decision making.METHODS: The endpoints dataset consists of four components: demographics, disposition, endpoints, and analysis. The structure of the endpoints dataset and each component are described in detail. A hypothetical endpoints dataset based on a randomized oncology clinical trial is provided to illustrate the detailed description of the endpoints dataset (supplemental material).   RESULTS: The endpoints dataset compiles all required data to review and analyze the primary and secondary objectives of a clinical trial. Efficacy endpoints data are derived from clinical trial and external data for review and to support analysis. Analysis data is derived to directly support biostatistical analysis. All data is formatted in one record per subject.CONCLUSIONS: The generation of the endpoints dataset requires clinical data management and biostatistical teams to understand and agree on critical efficacy endpoints and analysis. Biostatistical analysis of the primary and many secondary endpoints can be carried out using only the endpoints dataset. This quality control method can be used for any type of clinical trial. The endpoints dataset is compared to the Analysis Data Model(CDISC ADaM).
Nomes próprios na onomástica cognitiva: Significado e categorização de nomes próprios
Authors: Reszegi Katalin
Published: May 2023

Este artigo teórico fornece uma visão geral sobre como nomes próprios e diferentes tipos de nomes existem no sistema mental, além de propor novas soluções baseadas na perspectiva cognitiva em conexão com antigas questões da teoria do nome. A onomástica cognitiva é uma abordagem relativamente nova para o estudo de nomes próprios baseada em uma abordagem cognitiva da linguagem. Nesse contexto, os nomes como elementos linguísticos são partes do sistema cognitivo, portanto, a representação mental e o uso de nomes próprios podem ser descritos por processos cognitivos gerais. A visão geral dos tópicos e direções da pesquisa onomástica cognitiva mostra que estudar nomes e nomear em uma estrutura cognitiva tem um grande potencial. Ao fornecer mais evidências das vantagens da abordagem cognitiva, este artigo discute duas questões controversas da teoria do nome. Primeiramente, aborda-se o significado dos nomes próprios a partir de uma perspectiva cognitiva, apontando a complexa matriz de significados dessa classe de palavras; em seguida, discute-se a categorização dos nomes próprios, ou seja, como as redes e subredes de nomes emergem no léxico mental.

Background: Stress-related biomarkers have the potential to provide objective measures of whether interventions directed at people with dementia (PWD) and their family caregivers (FCG) are successful. The use of such biomarkers has been limited by logistical barriers to sample collection.

Objective: Explore saliva concentration of steroid hormones in dementia care dyads during a music intervention.

Methods: Consecutive PWD attending a memory evaluation center and their FCG were allocated to either an intervention-with-music or a non-intervention control group. All were living at home. Stress biomarkers, salivary cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) samples were collected by the PWD and their FCG, in the morning and evening, 5 days a week, for 8 consecutive weeks. Biomarker concentrations of the intervention and the control groups were compared at week 8, in an intention-to-treat approach with adjustment for baseline value.

Results: Twenty-four PWD in the intervention group and 10 in the control group, and their FCG were included in the analyses. The mean number of morning saliva collections was similar in the intervention and the control groups, ranging from 4.3 to 4.9 per participant weekly during the first 7 weeks, declining to 3.3 during week 8. Median log morning cortisol (pg/mL) among caregivers was lower in the intervention group than in the control group (8.09 vs. 8.57, P = 0.0133).

Conclusion: This study demonstrates that music intervention was associated with lower morning saliva cortisol concentrations for FCGs.

Busy lifestyles these days have led people to forget to drink water regularly which results in inadequate hydration and oily skin, oily skin has become one of the main factors for Acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris, particularly on the face, greatly affects a person’s social, mental wellbeing and personal satisfaction for teens. Besides the fact that acne is well known as an inflammatory disorder, it was reported to have caused serious long-term consequences such as depression, scarring, mental illness, including pain and suicide. In this research work, a smartphone-based expert system namely “Cureto” is implemented using a hybrid approach i.e. using deep convolutional neural network (CNN) and natural language processing (NLP). The proposed work is designed, implemented and tested to classify Acne density, skin sensitivity and to identify the specific acne subtypes namely whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts. The proposed work not only classifies Acne Vulgaris but also recommends appropriate treatments based on their classification, severity and other demographic factors such as age, gender, etc. The results obtained show that for Acne type classification the accuracy ranges from 90%-95% and for Skin Sensitivity and Acne density the accuracy ranges from 93%–96%..

The fingerprint based bank locker system is an enhancement to the traditional bank locker system that uses keys.Now keys can easily be copied and made by theif’s who know about it. Also the keys must be taken care of and can also be lost due to some negligence. Well fingerprint based bank locker system is here to solve all these issues. The fingerprinted authenticated bank locker system is safe as well as easy to use and maintain. No key handling no need to worry about key getting lost. The system uses fingerprint sensing to read fingerprints and first store registered fingerprints against the bank locker record. Now next time a person scans finger the sensor reads it and compares it with past records. Now if match is found with existing prints, it sends the match signal to the microcontroller and the controller displays this data on the LCD display. Also the controller drives the driver motor to open the bank locker door and opens it for authorized customers. The door of locker wont open for unauthorized customers. And when door is open one photo is taken by the ESP32CAM module and it is saved in SD card. Later if any lost of assets happed then we can check those photos to check if any unauthorized person has opened bank locker by chance. This system helps to make more secure bank lockers and also gives plus point to security by taking photo of the bank locker accessing person
Multiview Clustering with Self Representation and Structural Constraints

Multi-view clustering, which divides objects into multiple clusters with high intra-cluster and low inter- cluster similarity for all perspectives, is of enormous significance for uncovering the mechanisms of systems. Multi-view data effectively model and characterise the underlying complex systems. Because they only consider the shared characteristics of objects or their correlation, current algorithms are criticised for their subpar performance because they ignore the heterogeneity and structural constraints of different views. A brand-new network-based method called Multi-view Clustering with Self-representation and Structural Constraints (MCSSC), which combines matrix factorization with low-rank representation of various perspectives, is presented to address these issues. In particular, a network is built for each view to reduce heterogeneity from multi-view data, converting the multi-view clustering problem into the multi-layer networks clustering problem. The MCSSC factorises network-related matrices by projecting them into a shared space and simultaneously trains an affinity graph for objects in multiple views with self-representation in order to extract the shared properties of multiple views. The structural constraint is applied to the affinity graph, where the clusters are identified, to aid with clustering. Numerous tests show that MCSSC performs noticeably better than the state-of-the-art in terms of accuracy, indicating the superiority of the suggested method

The main goal of this Endeavour is to use sniffer technology to track down a misplaced cell phone. Regularly thousands of adaptable get misplaced. Security for mobile devices is necessary since portable companies are now building mobile devices with IMEI to locate the mobile device, but this system is not very effective. Hence, sniffer technology is applied. This device, which combines a Sniffer Base Station, an Unidirectional Antenna, and Tracking Software, can be referred to as a Base Station. To maintain the recurrence, the Sniffer Base Station is used. Recurrence is a VHF extension at 900 MHzTo exchange the flag relating to the desired recurrence for receiving and transmitting signals, unidirectional radio wire is employed. The most important component of cell phone monitoring is the programming. Because of the way this programming is laid out, the IMEI of the device is read from its Memory. It checks for a signal from a device that responds to a flag sent by sniffer technology. The IMEI number, which stands for “International Mobile Station Equipment Identity,” identifies a device that uses GSM technology.

The most recent outbreak to prompt an international health emergency is coronavirus illness. It primarily spreads via airborne transmission from person to person. The number of cases worldwide has increased as a result of community transmission. Several machine learning-based techniques have been used in the health field. Lack of data is one problem preventing machine learning techniques from discovering COVID-19 cases. A Mask-RCNN that can accurately identify face masks can alert users to wear one. To do this, Mask-RCCN employs two cutting-edge techniques. First, we present a unique residual context attention module (RCAM) to extract rich context data, focus on key face mask related regions, and detect mask region from the face using RPN. To develop more distinguishing traits for faces with and without masks, second. This method can distinguish between masked and uncovered faces, making it easier to utilize face masks and keeping an eye out for safety violations.
