Increasing the seismic resistance of operated buildings using special seismic protection methods
Authors: Belash Tatiana A. , Erokhina Elizaveta D.
Published: July 2021

The change in the level of seismicity of buildings and structures occurs as a result of

updating the maps of general seismic zoning. Ensuring the seismic resistance of buildings and

structures is a factor that must be taken into account, especially during construction in

seismically active regions. Nowadays, one of the main approaches to increasing seismic

resistance is the use of various seismic isolation systems. It is not always profitable and rational to increase the seismic resistance of building structures or foundations for equipment by simply increasing the strength. A classification of seismic reinforcement systems is given, among which the most sparing are special methods of seismic protection in the form of seismic isolation.

Practical examples of the use of seismic isolation systems to improve the seismic resistance of existing buildings are given. A computational study was carried out, the result of which showed

the effectiveness of using rubber-metal supports for hanging the seismic resistance of buildings.

Authors: Sakai Hirohisa
Published: July 2021

At present, the labor force lowering by the mental health of the employee in the manufacturing site is remarkable, and it is noticed as a factor which causes labor accident, traffic accident, and social problem action. In addition, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan will emphasize mental health elimination as an occupational health measure, and the government intends to submit a mandate for stress checks by doctors or health technicians within this ordinary Diet. On the other hand, the company is also promoting prevention activities focusing on "organization" by activating people's cooperative behavior from the health support activity corresponding to the analysis of conventional individual features from the viewpoint of occupational health. In this paper, the health assessment "Occupational Stress Survey" identified that the supervisor support in the organization contributes greatly and constructed "Organizational Assessment System" which takes countermeasures from both sides of human resources and occupational health of the organization in the manufacturing industry.

EVALUATING THE ACCURACY OF POST-PROCESSED KINEMATIC (PPK) POSITIONING TECHNIQUE
Authors: Pırtı Atınç
Published: July 2021

Post-processing kinematics (PPK) is positioning process in which signals received from a mobile receiving device store location data can be adjusted using corrections from a reference station after data has been collected. The processed kinematic screening method provides the surveyor with a technique for high production survey measurements and can be used in areas with minimal satellite barriers. PPK uses significantly reduced observation times compared to static or fast static observations. This method requires least squares adjustment or another multiple basic statistical analysis that can produce a weighted average of observations. The results obtained using PPK are between 1 cm and 3 cm for horizontal coordinates and from 1 cm to 10 cm for vertical coordinates.
Circumnuclear Multi-phase Gas in Circinus Galaxy IV: Absorption Owing to High-J CO Rotational Transitions
Authors: Uzuo Taisei , Wada Keiichi , Izumi Takuma , Baba Shunsuke , Matsumoto Kosei , Kudoh Yuki
Published: July 2021

We studied the absorption features of CO lines against the continuum originating from the heated dust in the obscuring tori around active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We investigated the formation of absorption lines corresponding to the CO rotational transitions using three-dimensional non-LTE line transfer simulations considering the dust thermal emission. As in Papers I–III of this series, we performed post-processed radiative transfer calculations using the “radiation-driven fountain model” (Wada et al. 2016), which yields a geometrically thick obscuring structure around the nucleus. This model is consistent with the spectral energy distribution of the nearest type-2 Seyfert galaxy, the Circinus galaxy. We found that the continuum-subtracted channel maps of J = 4−3 and higher transitions show absorption regions along the disk midplane for an edge-on viewing angle. The spectra consist of multiple absorption and emission features, reflecting the internal inhomogeneous and turbulent structure of the torus. The deepest absorption feature is caused by the gas on the near side of the torus between r = 10 and 15 pc, which is located in front of the AGN-heated dust inside r ≃ 5 pc. We also found that a spatial resolution of 0.5–1.0 pc is necessary to resolve the absorption features. Moreover, the inclination angle must be close to the edge-on angle (i.e., ≳85°) to observe the absorption features. The findings of the present study imply that combining our radiation-hydrodynamic model with high-resolution observations of CO (7–6) by ALMA can provide new information about the internal structure of the molecular tori in nearby AGNs.

Étude d’un dispositif en interfiliarité dans le cadre du Service sanitaire des étudiants en santé : conception, mise en œuvre et perspectives
Authors: Perez-Roux Thérèse
Published: July 2021

Dans le cadre du Service sanitaire des étudiants en santé (SEES), des étudiants en masso-kinésithérapie (MK) et en soins infirmiers (SI) d’un même territoire ont été réunis pour participer à un dispositif expérimental. Les étudiants de chaque filière n’étant pas habitués à travailler ensemble (2), il a été nécessaire pour les formateurs de s’organiser afin de créer un environnement pédagogique favorable. Cette contribution s’intéresse à « ce qui s’est joué » dans la mise en place d’un tel dispositif. Des entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés avec l’équipe de direction de l’IFMK-L, au début de l’année 2019-2020, et avec les formateurs/ formatrices en MK et SI impliqués dans deux des dispositifs, au terme de l’expérimentation. Les données ont été traitées par une analyse thématique du discours. Au-delà des enjeux d’un tel dispositif, les résultats prennent en compte la manière dont celui-ci a été vécu par les formateurs/formatrices. Des cultures de formation assez contrastées et des positionnements identitaires sont révélés à travers le retour sur l’expérience. L’ensemble du travail permet de repérer les leviers, les freins, les conditions optimales de mise en place de ce type d’action de prévention en interfiliarité et ouvre sur de nouveaux enjeux de formation.

Nursing staff in public hospitals face highly demanding working conditions, which are related to mental health and eating problems. The current study aimed to identify the most frequent work characteristics associated with mental health problems and eating behavior in nursing staff. A cross-sectional study was performed on a random sample of 190 nurses at a specialized hospital in Mexico City. Work characteristics, mental health problems (stress, depression, and anxiety), emotional eating, and loss-of-control eating were measured using standardized scales. Associations among relevant work variables and mental health and eating behavior were assessed using logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics. High prevalence of stress (28%), depression (35%), anxiety (33%), emotional eating (27%), and loss-of-control eating (38%) were found. These mental health problems have been associated with variables related to work overload, little appreciation of work, and exposure to the suffering and death of patients. [

Published: July 2021

Digital banking allows banks to make their new products more readily available, as they can package them with their essential software that has implications for cybersecurity. Internet presence also allows banks to extend their geographical reach without overbearing costs. In Pakistan, most internet offerings currently used by banks are more based on information than transactions; therefore, the issues for cybersecurity have gained high interest. The offerings on the websites by banks generally seem like electronic brochures. As they mainly offer company events, product information, along with a list of services rendered. Pakistan has various barriers to e-commerce, such as relatively few internet users, inadequate infrastructure (i.e., frequent power failures, fewer phone lines), and lack of cybersecurity for online transactions being hacked. The Government of Pakistan is rigorously working on these areas to overcome respective problems and progress in this sphere. This research focuses on the challenges for e-banking and e-commerce in Pakistan and issues relating to cybersecurity.

Authors: ur Rehman Tansif
Published: July 2021

In this technological era, almost all renowned banks have equipped themselves with the latest technology significantly pertinent to enhance their services and have provided e-banking facilities to their customers. Nevertheless, cybersecurity has been the focus of many organizations. Banks are offering more facilities to facilitate their customers with ease and convenience regarding e-banking. However, in Pakistan this is not the case. As people still refrain from using e-banking in Pakistan because of various issues, the e-banking sector has exponentially grown in the last decade. It has more chances of growth as enterprises such as banks still encourage clients to carry out e-transactions, like utility bill payments, access to account information, and money transfer. During this process, cybercriminals attempt to steal customer data and hack their online sessions. With regards to e-banking fraud, digitization has caused a revolution. Cybercriminals have employed various tools to steal crucial information through identity theft, trojans, viruses, and phishing.

Twitter is the most popular social networking service across the world. In Twitter, the messages are known as tweets. Tweets are mainly text-based posts that can be up to 140 characters long which can reach the author's subscribers. These subscribers are also known as followers. Such subscriptions form a direct connection. But these connections are not always symmetric. In this study, the authors have assumed that if two nodes are connected, then the tweet is propagated between them without any other conditions. But using sentiment analysis, the general opinion of people about various things can be figured. The Twitter data set analyzed includes almost 20k nodes and 33k edges, where the visualization is done with software called Gephi. Later a deep dive analysis is done by calculating some of the metrics such as degree centrality and closeness centrality for the obtained Twitter network. Using this analysis, it is easy to find the influencers in the Twitter network and also the various groups involved in the network.

Natural language processing is the communication between the humans and the computers. It is the field of computer science which incorporates artificial intelligence and linguistics where machine learning algorithms are used to analyze and process the enormous variety of data. This chapter delivers the fundamental concepts of language processing in Python such as text and word operations. It also gives the details about the preference of Python language for language processing and its advantages. It specifies the basic concept of variables, list, operators, looping statements in Python and explains how it can be implemented in language processing. It also specifies how a structured program can be written using Python, categorizing and tagging of words, how an information can be extracted from a text, syntactic and semantic analysis, and NLP applications. It also concentrates some of the research applications where NLP is applied and the challenges of NLP processing in the real-time area of applications.
Creditworthiness Assessment Using Natural Language Processing
Authors: Goyal Somya , Saxena Arti
Published: July 2021

NLP is a wide and quickly developing segment of today's new digital technology, which falls under the domain of artificial intelligence. Alternative approaches for qualifying and quantifying an individual's creditworthiness have emerged in recent years as a result of recent advancements in AI. Banks and creditors may use AI to rate potential borrowers' creditworthiness based on alternative data, such as social media messages and internet usage, such as which websites people visit and what they buy from e-commerce stores. These digital footprints may show whether or not an individual is able to repay their debts. In this chapter, how the approaches of NLP could offer financial solutions to unbanked communities is explored. This chapter includes the use of various machine learning algorithms and deep learning to find the most accurate credit score of a user. Since NLP is less intrusive than providing direct access to a person's entire contact list or a social media site, it is a more accessible way to measure risk while still having the potential to target a larger audience.
The Curricular Approach
Authors: Kerr Kathleen G. , Tweedy James
Published: July 2021

In this chapter, the authors explore the unintentional but striking synergies that exist between design thinking and the curricular approach to learning. Specifically, the authors explore how the define step of design thinking can be applied to the crucial step of defining ubiquitous institutional learning aims to guide the work of educators who work outside the classroom. By applying concepts of design thinking to the curricular approach, the authors reinforce the importance of collaborations and innovation as key aspects when defining both the desired learning outcomes and the environments within which this learning will occur. The chapter concludes with an acknowledgement of the challenges faced by educators applying concepts of both the curricular approach and design thinking.
A Design Thinking Odyssey
Authors: Sim Alvin , Straughan Paulin Tay
Published: July 2021

Co-curricular experiences should be warranted a fair amount of attention in higher education, particularly for their ability to help students develop real-world employability skills and a platform for them to critically reflect upon and expand their perspectives. These are crucial in developing the future-ready graduate – the type of graduate the Singapore Management University (SMU) strives to nurture. Yet, the authors have discovered that many students go from one activity to another without understanding what they can actually be getting out of these activities and how each activity connects to life after university. This has led the authors to seek to address the problem: “How might we rethink the purpose and delivery of co-curricular learning?” As part of the design thinking odyssey, this chapter details the prototype SMU has embarked on to measure and document students' learning in the co-curricular space.
Design Thinking
Authors: Gott Trisha C.
Published: July 2021

Design thinking is a process that student affairs practitioners can learn to support students in developing practices of leadership. The design thinking tool builds from ideas of transformative learning and leadership-as-practice. Deployed as an intervention for problem posing, design thinking is a tool and an opportunity to reframe how students learn. In design thinking, students are moved to problem solving through intentional practice. In this chapter, the author will explore design thinking from the lenes of transformative learning theory and leadership-as-practice. Moving through each stage of the process, she will share examples of how to use the practice with students.

The authors share the history of the social impact hub and various iterations of curricular and co-curricular collaboration connected to a social innovation pitch competition. The authors also highlight the value of collaboration between innovation spaces and career and life planning offices through meaningful student employment opportunities. Finally, the authors describe modules being piloted to infuse design thinking throughout the curriculum.
Prototyping a University-Wide Co-Curricular Record
Authors: King Elizabeth A. , Shea Heather D. , Heinrich William F.
Published: July 2021

In this chapter, the authors will discuss a multi-year initiative at Michigan State University aimed at designing and implementing a university wide co-curricular record. The authors contend that prototypes are a good mechanism to advance, and possibly accelerate projects. The chapter will focus on the many prototypes developed throughout the project, organized in three categories: 1) the technical aspects of the software, interface, and connections to campus IT; 2) policies and guidelines for interacting with, creating, and validating co-curricular learning experiences and outcomes; and 3) prototypes of new hierarchical relationships and social/cultural processes which made the new project legible to all stakeholders in the institution. Ultimately, prototypes helped create familiar policy and practices to go with useful technology that allowed campus users to easily and enthusiastically engage with a new technology, recognize student learning, and create sustainable practices in the co-curricular space.
COVID-19 Vaccine Nationalism and Politicization
Authors: Sellapperumage Savithri
Published: July 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world uprooting people from their livelihoods and toppling the economy of the world. Thus, to everyone's interest, producing a vaccine became the priority to gain at least half the normalcy in day-to-day activities of the world. With over a year passing, several states have come to the front in producing vaccines, having completed tedious processes of research and clinical trials. The next mammoth task at hand is distribution and administration in countries. However, with only a few countries gaining the advantage of production, they are seen to exercise power politics in purchasing and distribution of the vaccine. Developing countries have succumbed to a difficult predicament amidst balancing the great powers and the financial inability to obtain the vaccination. Therefore, the chapter explores the political dimension to vaccine distribution and the plight of developing nations in obtaining the vaccine. Further, the chapter observes the global initiatives taken to address the issue and the impact of distribution on health security.

In this chapter, the main relationship between a company's use of data-driven methods and its international digital marketing strategies are examined. In particular, the question of how data-driven methods, like consumer analytics, helped the company in its internationalization efforts are outlined. By following the case study approach, the diverse digital business models, online advertising campaigns, and international digital marketing practices of the Chinese company Alibaba are investigated. As China's e-commerce market currently became one of the most dynamic ones in the world, and as Alibaba is one of the leading internet and e-commerce corporations worldwide, valuable insights are provided. Moreover, Alibaba's international digital marketing practices, underlying strategies, as well as adaptive capabilities are systematically analyzed. In addition, Alibaba's competitive behavior is investigated and compared with international companies and peers. In this context, the standardization versus adaptation paradigm is also revisited.
How Digitalisation Is Influencing Traditional Food Restaurants in the Management of Their Marketing Strategies
Authors: Martínez-Navalón Juan-Gabriel
Published: July 2021

There is no denying that digitalisation is a new revolution. At a time when technology is taking over all aspects of society in an exponential way, not introducing it into the management of companies is a clear mistake that could lead to their disappearance. But we cannot forget that the incorporation of technology is a challenge for any type of company and sector. This study analyses the importance of digitalisation in traditional restaurants and its influence on the management of marketing policies using case study analysis. Therefore, the aim of this study is to show how digitalisation for order management in these companies can also be applied to marketing policies. This is because, by monitoring and storing the customer's behaviour in the ordering process from start to finish, it is possible to know their preferences and searches in a more concrete way. Such information enables the company to maximise its resources by applying policies designed to meet customer needs, as well as to design targeted advertising to increase the chances of success of the advertising campaign.
