Mode choice behavior of the inter-regional public transport passengers is important for proficient planning and operation of transport systems in developing countries. It is the responsibility of the authority to satisfy the demand for long regional trips having a significant movement of passengers by providing efficient public transport services. Most of the studies for the mode choice behavior of the passengers have been done for the urban mass transport within the urban conglomerate. The study aims to improve knowledge of the factor affecting passengers' decisions on the mode of travel for inter-regional public transportation in India. The Multinomial Logit (MNL) model and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models among Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) buses, Railways, and privately operated buses were developed for the trips between Surat city and Bhavnagar region of Gujarat, India. The final ANN model reflects a difference of attributes has 90.52% mode prediction capability against 70.11% of the MNL model. The developed model gives the proper insight for improving the transportation facilities in the region. It is revealed that the improvement in the service level and egress parameters are more important to attract travelers. The sleeper seat availability, lesser travel cost, lesser egress distance, and availability of night journey have been found important during travelers' thinking process to select the traveling mode. There are 13.1% and 20.1% rises in the probability of choosing GSRTC bus and train mode, respectively, with the improvement in the service level. Moreover, the GSRTC bus should improve its connectivity.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) technology has emerged as a highly promising photovoltaic (PV) option due to remarkable advancements in power conversion efficiency (PCE). Nevertheless, the stability of PSCs continues to pose a challenge for commercialization, as factors such as moisture, oxygen, light, and temperature can lead to degradation during fabrication and actual use stage. The stability of the perovskite film is crucial for extending the device’s lifetime and performance. This research seeks to explore the degradation mechanism and improve the perovskite film’s stability by incorporating 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4) and 1,3-dimethyl-3-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate (DMIMPF6) ionic liquids into a perovskite precursor using the two-step deposition technique in ambient air. The perovskite film’s degradation and PSCs’ stability were evaluated under high relative humidity conditions, averaging 73%RH without encapsulation. UV-visible spectroscopy results indicate that the most stable perovskite film, containing the BMIMBF4 ionic liquid additive, maintains its α phase perovskite structure for 144 hours without alterations in absorbance and persisted for over 336 hours before degrading into an undesirable δ phase perovskite. Furthermore, PSCs retained 74.1% of their initial PCE after 28 days of exposure to ambient conditions. This research offers promising findings for the large-scale fabrication of stable PSCs.
DEVELOPMENT OF RAPID SET PLASTERING MORTAR FOR USING IN THE ASEAN REGION
Authors: Suphunsaeng Kantawich , Thanyakit Boonsong , Thwe Win Thwe , Prasittisopin Lapyote
Published: December 2023

Currently, a conventional plaster is widely used for wall plastering and occurs in various operational steps. The hardening time necessary for the plasters plays one of the most important roles in determining the duration of plastering work. Rapid-setting plasterers can assist in accelerating the process. However, plastering mortar with a hardened consistency is an imported product with very high shipping costs and import obligations, making it less competitive compared to local products in ASEAN. To maintain the quality and shelf life, transporting it also requires considerable time. Consequently, plaster products may agglomerate and lose their distinctive qualities. Besides, the climate in the ASEAN region differs from the country in which rapid-setting plaster products are produced. This has a direct effect on the plastering processes employed by ASEAN plasterers. This study focuses on the production of plaster mixes using raw materials in Thailand. To accelerate solidification, the addition of 3-4% calcium aluminate cement was conducted. In addition, it is compatible with Thai standards. The experimental results demonstrated that the manufactured plaster satisfied Thailand’s quality and usability standards. Consideration is given to material performance parameters such as flowability, setting time, compressive strength, constructability of user field study, and carbon footprint regarding the life cycle assessment.

Published: December 2023

Aluminum titanate (Al2TiO5) is a promising material for high-temperature applications due to its low thermal expansion, high melting point, and excellent corrosion resistance. In this study, the effect of h-BN addition on the properties of Al2TiO5 composites was investigated. The composites were prepared by sintering a mixture of Al2O3 and TiO2 at a 1:1 molar ratio, with varying amounts of h-BN (5-20 mol%) added to the mixture. The samples were sintered at 1,500ºC for 4 h in an N2 atmosphere, and the bulk density, porosity, phase transition, microstructure, flexural strength, and hardness of the composites were investigated. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of Al2TiO5, Al2O3, and Al18B4O33 phases in the composites. The addition of h-BN in increasing amounts from 5 to 20 mol% resulted in a gradual improvement in the bulk density, flexural strength, and hardness of the Al2TiO5 composites. The composite with the highest h-BN content (20 mol%) exhibited a bulk density of 3.12 g/cm3, as well as the highest flexural strength and hardness values of 123.6±8.9 MPa and 11.2±4.1 GPa, respectively.

Objetivo: estimar la capacidad predictiva de los índices de adiposidad visceral (VAI) y disfuncional (DAI) en riesgo cardiovascular (RCV) de población laboral española.

Métodos: análisis descriptivo en 418.343 trabajadores españoles de diferentes sectores durante la vigilancia de la salud en sus empresas. Se calculó el VAI y el DAI ajustándose a sus ecuaciones y el RCV mediante Registre Gironí del Cor (REGICOR), Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) y estudio DORICA. Se estimó fortaleza asociativa mediante curvas de características operativas del receptor (ROC). El programa estadístico fue SPSS 27.0, considerando significación estadística p < 0,05.

Resultados: los valores de RCV con los tres métodos son más elevados en hombres (p < 0,0001). El RCV más alto en mujeres se obtiene con REGICOR (1,58%) y en hombres con Score (11,28%). Con los métodos de valoración de RCV utilizados en ambos sexos, los valores medios de VAI y DAI van aumentando según lo hace el RCV.

VAI y DAI son estimadores útiles de RCV en mujeres con DORICA AUC (área bajo la curva)-VAI 0,865 (intervalo de confianza [IC] 95%: 0,836-0,894) y AUC-DAI 0,859 (IC 95%: 0,829-0,888). En hombres, solo muestran moderada capacidad predictiva (valores AUC-VAI 0,774 (IC 95%: 0,768-0,780), AUC-DAI 0,762 (IC 95%: 0,756-0,768). La fortaleza asociativa es baja en ambos sexos con Score y REGICOR (AUC < 0,7).

Conclusión: VAI y DAI aumentan sus valores medios según aumenta el RCV estimado con REGICOR, SCORE y DORICA. VAI y DAI tienen elevada capacidad predictiva con el RCV estimado con DORICA en mujeres y moderada fortaleza en hombres.

The only medication available for preventing severe lower respiratory tract disease caused by respiratory syncytial virus in pediatric patients at high risk is Palivizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody of immunoglobulin G subclass 1 (IgG1). The objective of this work was to validate an educational technology for the use of Palivizumab in preventing respiratory syncytial virus infections. This is methodological research that includes four stages: literature review, construction of a flowchart for healthcare professionals, preparation of an educational booklet for parents and/or caregivers, and validation of the educational booklet by judges of content and appearance. For the construction of the booklet, an integrative literature review was initially conducted to identify and understand all aspects related to the topic. This review aimed to identify and incorporate important studies that provide a relevant contribution to building a solid theoretical foundation to guide the research. A total of 57 studies were included. The educational booklet, "For those who will take care of me with Palivizumab," was constructed and validated for content and appearance by nurses (teachers and assistance). The validation process was based on the responses from the judges of content and appearance. A global Content Validation Index of 0.92 was obtained. As for appearance, the Suitability Assessment of Materials instrument was used, resulting in an overall average score of 7.91. After incorporating the judges' suggestions, the educational material was adjusted to meet the needs and expectations it aims to fulfill. Subsequently, the educational material was sent for proofreading and printing, and once ready, it will be made available to the hospital. The booklet empowers parents and/or caregivers in the prevention and health promotion of children who will use Palivizumab, while the flowchart guides healthcare professionals attending to this population.

One of the biggest problems in teaching Requirements Engineering at universities is the lack of access to real projects, which could allow students to interact with stakeholders and practice communication skills while conducting requirements elicitation. This article presents a serious game for practicing requirements elicitation through guided interviews with stakeholders. Two versions of the game were developed. The Immersive VR game was designed to run on mobile phones with Google Cardboard. A Non-Immersive version was also developed to run on Windows. Systematic literature reviews point out a lack of immersive VR games for learning Software Engineering. Moreover, the game proposed here is a pioneer in the addressed subject, including the use of low-cost technologies, such as Google Cardboard. The game was tested for 20 minutes by 46 students in two classes of the Bachelor's Degree in Software Engineering. After the test in the first class, the game was improved, and another test was conducted. The purpose of the validation was to verify the sense of presence among the students through a presence questionnaire (PQ). The highest averages were identified in the non-immersive version. For the immersive version, the statistically significant lowest evaluated values pertained to movement within the environment and the feeling of disorientation at the end of the experience. This indicates the need for improvements regarding movement. The literature suggests two directions: the first is to reduce the duration of experimentation with immersive environments, and the second suggests exploring alternative mechanisms for movement within the environment. It is important to remember that the students experimented with their own mobile phones, that is, they did not use dedicated VR equipment. Therefore, it can be concluded that developing VR solutions for these devices requires more restrictive decisions.
Social Justice in Urban Public Transportation: A User-Centric Analysis of Fares in Portoviejo, Ecuador
Authors: Colamarco Ignacio Loor , Barreiro Lucía Rivadeneira
Published: December 2023

Objective: To examine the perceptions of socially just fares among urban public bus users in Portoviejo and to assess the potential impacts of fare increases on the most vulnerable populations and the subsequent changes in their mobility behavior.
 
Method: To unpack the multiple facets that shape the notion of justice, we conducted a two-stage clustered observational study using a survey administered to a sample of urban bus users. The data collected were scrutinized using three analytical methods: exploratory description, hypothesis testing, and binary logistic regression.
 
Results: Our findings revealed that most bus users are women, under 35 years of age, and earn at most the minimum wage. These younger, lower-income users who utilize the bus less frequently, tend to view lower fares as just compared to their counterparts in different user profiles. When fares exceed what they perceive as just, these users tend to mitigate their bus usage, opting to walk more or invest in a bicycle or motorcycle for their daily transport needs.
 
Conclusion: The intersection of public transport fares and social justice is not an extensively researched area, and one key theoretical challenge is balancing the principle of universal provision with users' varying payment abilities under the framework of social justice. Future research on this intersection should explore factors beyond fares, such as safety, accessibility, territorial coverage, and travel time, and consider alternative fare models to address socioeconomic disparities and improve overall well-being.
The Legal Regulation of Affiliation in The Jordanian Civil Law: The Actions of The Affiliated Person as A Case Study
Authors: Alawamleh Atef , Aljaber Maher , Al-Raqqad Asma'a , Alfawaeer Alaa
Published: December 2023

Objective: This study investigates the adequacy of the legal provisions of this responsibility to protect the injured. This happens by investigating the ability of the injured party to claim affiliate person the full compensation resulting from the affiliated’s harmful act.
 
Theoretical Framework: The interest of the injured is an interest that leds legislation to deviate from personal responsibility for the harmful act, and added multiple responsibilities, whether for things, or for third parties when certain conditions are met in each responsibility, including the responsibility of the affiliate for the actions of the affiliated person. The judicial rulings tended to take this responsibility based on the legal regulations, but these provisions adhere with the literal legal text.
 
Method: To achieve the aims of the study; the researchers apply the descriptive analytical method, by exposing and analyzing the relevant texts of the law, deducing the contents of the legal texts, and extrapolating the relevant judicial rulings.   
 
Results and conclusion: The current research indicates that the solidarity responsibility of the affiliated is considered one of the most important elements of responsibility for the act of others organized by the Jordanian legislator. The main axis in this responsibility is the injured person, that is, as long as there is harm and injured person, there must be a cause of it.
 
Originality/value: This research recommends to encourage key policy makers to amend some articles and rules in the Jordanian civil law to fulfill the legislations gaps that displayed in the current research.

Determination of the strength characteristics of a flanged joint with a flat gasket and loose retaining rings using a 3-point bending test
Authors: Wróbel G. , Kalicki M. , Walczak K.
Published: December 2023

To evaluate the effectiveness of determining the strength of loose rings made, polymer laminate, using a 3-point bending test of rectangular material specimens differing in form and dimensions from actual structural components.The analysis carried out indicated a method of quantitative evaluation that could be directly related to the operating conditions of the rings. A similarity relation between the critical states of the ring and the specimens subjected to bending tests was presented. The assumed hypothesis of maximum tensile stresses of the rigid outer laminate layers provided the basis for formulating a criterion for the allowable loads on the rings, depending on the assembly tension of the bolts and the operating pressure in the installation.The results of the bending tests, both in the elastic and failure range of the samples, confirmed the validity of the hypothesis about the proportionality of the breaking stresses in the ring and the bending, cuboid sample, made of a similar laminate.The area of dimensional optimisation of the joint with regard to its strength and stiffness criterion is indicated.The method provides a basis for evaluating the strength and tightness of a flange connection by means of experimental testing of specimens made of a laminate similar to the material of the rings. The results of the 3-point bend tests allow for the substitution of difficult tests of complex assembly components such as rings in a flanged connection, including the operating conditions of the connection in a pressure piping system.

W latach 80. XX wieku zespół wypalenia zawodowego stał się powszechny wśród pielęgniarek, co wywołało potrzebę jego bliższego zbadania. Powszechnie uważa się, żejednym z kluczowych czynników jego powstawania i rozwoju jest obecność stresorów.W okresie prześladowań Kościoła katolickiego na Słowacji zakonnice największegowówczas słowackiego zgromadzenia zakonnego, Siostry Miłosierdzia św. Wincentego a Paulo, żyły pod silną presją prześladowań. Mieszkały zazwyczaj w kampusachszpitalnych, a całe ich życie związane było z posługą chorym i umierającym. Podjętokilka prób ich wyrugowania z miejsc pracy, ale dopiero w 1955 i 1956 roku reżimowiudało się usunąć siostry wincentynki ze szpitali. Warunki ich pracy i jakość mieszkaniaznacznie się pogorszyły, jednak władze państwowe nie były w stanie, ani za pomocąprzymusu, ani kuszących propozycji, przekonać sióstr do porzucenia życia konsekrowanego i rezygnacji z posługi chorym. Gdyby syndrom wypalenia był wśród tych zakonnic tak powszechny, jak w dzisiejszym społeczeństwie, prawdopodobnie zrezygnowałyby z życia zakonnego, ale tak się nie stało. Skłania nas to do zbadania czynników,które mogły działać zapobiegająco syndromowi wypalenia we wspólnotach Sióstr Miłosierdzia św. Wincenta a Paulo w latach prześladowań od 1948 do 1989 roku.

A study was planned to record growth and production characteristics of domestic geese of Kashmir in Srinagar, Ganderbal and Bandipora districts of the Kashmir valley. The geese rearing areas in these districts were identified and during the survey, growth and other production characteristics were studied. Body weight of different age groups was seen to show an increasing trend with increasing age. Goslings on an average weighed 89.285±9.472 g and a sharp increase was observed in the body weight at 3-month of age. Age at sexual maturity, average clutch size and hatchability of eggs was 13.733±0.534 months, 9.445±0.298 eggs and 83.37±2.49 %. Incubation period of goose eggs varied, with 81.03 % of farmers indicating an incubation period of 30 – 32 days and 18.97 % reporting 40 – 41 days of incubation period. It is concluded that domestic geese of Kashmir showed fast growth and acceptable hatchability but poor egg production which needs to addressed.

Energy consumption continues to increase and is predicted to increase by up to 30 percent by 2040. Therefore, systematic efforts are needed to reduce energy use, including using natural lighting in lighting systems inside buildings. The object of this study is the library room in the Electrical Engineering Department building, Universitas Andalas, Indonesia, to calculate the potential for energy savings with a lighting automation strategy with dimming control. Measurement of natural light level at three work nodes has been determined for one week as reference data. The shortage of artificial light required, and the electrical energy consumed is calculated by referring to the minimum standards for room lighting intensity. On the basis of each lamp's working hours and power, the potential for energy savings in the lighting system of the object can be determined. This study found that the potential for saving energy consumption for one week at three different nodes was 32.3, 64.2, and 82.8 percent. This study concludes that the maximum value reached 893 lux on Tuesday at 13:00 at node C, and the lowest was 3 lux on Saturday at 15:00 WIB at node A. Node C had an average light intensity of 402.298 lux, and node B had an average of 206.765 lux during the week. In contrast, node A has the lowest lux average, with 87,711 lux in one measurement week. Also, with the combination of natural and artificial light sources with dimming control strategies, the voltage values given to each lamp range from 0 to 180 VAC. Potential savings in energy consumption by combining natural and artificial light with dimming control strategies in the library room with three different nodes (A, B, C) are 32.3, 64.2, and 82.8 percent.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) continue to be a noteworthy concern for public health in Brazil, despite endeavors to manage them. The Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) assumes a central role in the registration and monitoring of these infections, but challenges endure. Additionally, not all STIs are subject to mandatory reporting, and there is underreporting and instances of patients who do not seek healthcare facilities promptly, resulting in substantial costs for the Unified Health System. The objective of this study was to converse about the screening and control of Sexually Transmitted Infections in Brazil. It is a narrative literature review, the results and discussion of which illustrate that educational strategies play a fundamental role in altering risk behaviors across different age groups. Nevertheless, the effective implementation of public prevention policies for STIs hinges on the awareness and continuous training of the multidisciplinary team, particularly Primary Health Care teams. Public policies encompass the promotion of vaccination against HPV and viral hepatitis, the dissemination of health information, and access to tests and treatments. Despite the presence of policies and initiatives concentrated on STIs, the numbers disclose the ongoing significance of prevention and health education strategies. STIs exert a significant impact on socioeconomic indicators, notably affecting vulnerable populations. Hence, the diagnosis, treatment, and public awareness of these infections persist as priorities. The multiprofessional Primary Health Care team plays a fundamental role in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of STIs, and health education plays a pivotal role in reducing transmission.

Authors: Riyadi Bambang , Yuliari Giyah , Perdana Putra
Published: December 2023

In the era of globalization, every country will try to win the competition in various ways. The development of digital technology is a way and opportunity for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs.) However, not all MSME players are ready to do business digitally, both in marketing and finance. The phenomenon that has occurred lately is evidence that the drastic decline in sales turnover of MSME products is due to one of them shifting the offline sales system to online sales. MSMEs must be able to adapt to technological changes, which cannot be stopped. The most important change is to provide human resources engaged in MSMEs with understanding, knowledge and skills to use digital systems. Through collaboration between MSME actors, government authorities and academics, technical guidance and training can be carried out massively and systematically, so that these activities can answer the needs of MSMEs to compete not only in the local market but also in the global market. This writing begins with research that uses qualitative descriptive research methods. Data collection techniques used interviews, observation, document analysis, case studies and focus group discussions. The data used qualitative data analyzed using approaches such as content analysis, narrative analysis.

Only Democracy Could Rein In the Dangers of Technology
Authors:   Economic Research Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sabev Dimitar
Published: December 2023

A new book by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson warns that the tree of progress bears poisonous fruit if watered by power-hungry techno-optimists. One of the metaphors often used in economic theory is that "when the tide comes in, it lifts all boats in the harbour." In other words, periods of economic buoyancy due, for example, to changing consumer attitudes and/or the introduction of new production technologies benefit everyone - small and large, albeit to varying degrees - in their own right. In their new book, Power and Progress, the eminent economists Daron Ademoglu and Simon Johnson challenge this view.
The Role of Morality in Situational Action Theory: Moral Filtering
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Kwak Hyoung Gon , Lee Myung Woo
Published: December 2023

This study attempted to empirically investigate the moral filtering hypothesis as a major role of morality in situational action theory. More specifically, we examined whether people with high morality even in a criminogenic situation do not consider crime as an alternative using a specific hypothetical situation. The current study utilized the data from 「A study of juvenile felony crime」 conducted by the Korean Institute of Criminology(KIC) in 2013. This study estimated logistic regression. The results indicated that people with high morality were less likely to perceive crime as an action alternative in the first place, even in criminogenic settings that cause theft, robbery, and arson. The findings provide support for the moral filtering hypothesis in situational action theory and fill the gap in the existing literature. Lastly, the limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed.
