The Influence of Taiwan Electronic Production Company's Proprietary Data Products on the Interaction of Company Effectiveness
Authors: Wei Shih-Yung , Lin Li-Wei
Published: October 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the unique interaction of companies in Taiwan from 1998 to 2017 and the influence of the degree of international industry on the effectiveness of the company.
Approach/Methodology/Design: We used time series methods to investigate and research. This study only has a significant impact on the upstream industry of the electronics industry, and there is no significant development in the middle and lower reaches of the industry. This is a very strange situation in Taiwan.
Findings: At the same time, the interaction of the three attributes of the midstream computer industry can also produce the multiplication effect. In this study, it has been found that the degree of international internationalization has a higher impact on the effectiveness of companies, but no matter how high it is, it seems that increasing the degree of international internationalization at about 10% or 50% and more than 80% of the international level can produce and increase the effectiveness of the company.
Practical Implications: This is a very strange situation in Taiwan. However, because the research strength has the effect of prolonging the effect, it may not play a significant role in the middle and lower reaches of the research and development of the product extension effect, so that the research intensity does not play a significant role in the first year of the development of the Taiwan electronics industry.
Originality/value: Our value is mainly to solve the problems of internationalization and performance of Taiwanese electronics industry companies.
A gazdasági szankciók várható hatása a belorusz gazdaságra
Authors: Aranyossy Márton
Published: October 2021

Belarusz sajátos gazdasági modellje nagy mértékben épít az Oroszországgal fenntartott gazdasági és politikai kapcsolatokra. Azonban az ország geopolitikai helyzetéből adódóan, és az Oroszországtól való gazdasági függés csökkentése érdekében a külgazdasági kapcsolatok diverzifikációja Minszk egyik alapvető érdeke. A külgazdasági diverzifikáció szempontjából az Európai Unió kulcsfontosságú régió Belarusz számára. Ugyanakkor, a belorusz belpolitikai események többször is az Unió és a nyugati országok által bevezetett, Belaruszt sújtó gazdasági szankciókhoz vezettek. A 2021. május 23-ai utasszállító repülőgép minszki kényszerleszállását és a gépen utazó ellenzéki aktivista letartóztatását követően az Európai Unió újabb gazdasági szankciók bevezetését jelentette be. Az Unió Belarusz második legnagyobb külkereskedelmi partnere, ezért az uniós szankciók komoly veszteséget jelentenének az ország több gazdasági ágazatban. Ugyanakkor a szankciók számos EU-tagállam számára is gazdasági veszteségekkel járnának, és tovább növelnék a belorusz gazdaság kötődését Oroszországhoz.
Las comunidades indígenas en el constructo de nación: una revisión teórica
Authors: Leguizamón Álvarez Ana María , Veloza Mantilla Wendy Verónica
Published: October 2021

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo aportar, de forma descriptiva, a las razones por las cuales las poblaciones indígenas en América Latina no han apropiado el concepto de identidad nacional. El enfoque de investigación es cualitativo; a través de búsqueda y codificación, por medio de Bibliometrix, se realizó análisis de escritorio con más de 50 artículos indexados, reseñas y capítulos de libros. Los hallazgos muestran que la identidad, la cultura, el pasado común y la naturaleza influyen en la concepción de nación que tienen las poblaciones indígenas. Asimismo, la libre determinación de los pueblos, el escenario internacional y la educación son algunos de los factores que impulsan a las comunidades indígenas latinoamericanas a manifestarse por no sentirse incluidos en sus respectivos Estados. La investigación concluye que las poblaciones indígenas fueron excluidas en la construcción de los Estados-nación en el siglo XIX, de forma que la idea de una sola nación choca con la multiplicidad de identidades y culturas de los pueblos indígenas.
PANORAMA DO SETOR DE ENERGIA ELÉTRICA NO BRASIL E NO PARANÁ: POLÍTICAS E DESAFIOS PARA ENERGIAS ALTERNATIVAS
Authors: Mattei Taíse Fátima , Parré José Luiz
Published: October 2021

A energia elétrica é elemento essencial para a execução de praticamente todas as atividades dos seres humanos. Mas a maneira como ela é gerada pode causar impactos severos ao meio ambiente. Este artigo faz um panorama do setor de energia elétrica no Brasil e no estado do Paraná com intuito de analisar políticas e desafios para a geração de energias alternativas, consideradas sustentáveis do ponto de vista ambiental e econômico. Consiste em uma análise de revisão da literatura com pesquisa bibliográfica. Os principais resultados revelam que o Brasil vem diminuindo a dependência das fontes hídricas, mas ainda precisa investir para ampliar as fontes alternativas. O Brasil está diminuindo a emissão de poluentes no setor de eletricidade, mas o mesmo não vem ocorrendo no estado do Paraná. As principais políticas energéticas criadas até hoje com intuito de incentivar as fontes alternativas foram o PROINFA e o PAC em âmbito nacional, e o Programa Paranaense de Energias Renováveis e Projeto Smart Energy, no estado do Paraná. O Brasil, assim como o Paraná, tem elevado potencial para desenvolver fontes menos poluentes para geração de energia. É preciso coordenação entre as políticas e planejamento a médio e longo prazo.

A estimativa em um calendário de pontes com problemas de Fermi
Authors: Schuhmacher Elcio , Denke Robson , Marschalek Rubens
Published: October 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o resultado do projeto de pesquisa “MathBridges”, o qual explora a habilidade de resolver problemas de estimativas no cotidiano, usando de um calendário de pontes do mundo contendo problemas de Fermi. Considera-se que a modelagem é essencial para se entender eventos e situações reais e a estimativa é um facilitador desse processo, que permite que alunos lidem com situações e conteúdos complexos. A pesquisa realizada é do tipo exploratória e a amostra do estudo se consistiu de um grupo de 30 alunos. A escolha do tema foi feita a partir de um projeto internacional realizado entre duas Instituições: do Brasil, a Universidade Regional de Blumenau, e da Alemanha, a Universidade de Münster, em consórcio com outros 10 países. A pesquisa de caráter qualitativo identifica o potencial dos problemas de Fermi no desenvolvimento de habilidades de modelagem usada na resolução de problemas, na disciplina de Introdução à Física, no curso de Física. A fundamentação teórica está ancorada na resolução de problemas de Fermi, que tem como princípio que estimar significa fazer um cálculo aproximado acerca de uma quantia ou uma grandeza. Os resultados do estudo mostram que a utilização dos problemas de Fermi, que permeiam as ciências, com um enfoque no raciocínio lógico-matemático, desenvolve a modelagem e auxilia os alunos a serem críticos.
A classificação matemática do filósofo Francis Bacon
Authors: Godoy Kleyton Vinicyus , Teixeira Marcos Vieira , Leite Douglas Gonçalves
Published: October 2021

Neste artigo abordamos a classificação das Ciências Matemáticas do filósofo Francis Bacon (1561-1626), presente nas obras “The Advancement of Learnings” (1605) e “De Dignitate et Augmentis Scientiarum” (1623). Em ambas publicações, a Matemática é classificada como uma ciência pertencente à Metafísica, que está inserida nas Ciências Naturais, que é uma parte da Filosofia Natural, dentro da Filosofia. Apresentaremos um breve panorama da filosofia baconiana e mostraremos que a Matemática foi dividida em pura” (Aritmética e Geometria) e “mista” (Perspectiva, Música, Astronomia, Cosmografia, Arquitetura e Engenharia). Por fim, trazemos algumas considerações das origens e inspirações da expressão “Matemática Mista” e concluímos que parece ter havido duas fases de Francis Bacon com relação à Matemática: a primeira associada à Metafísica (1605) e a segunda relacionada à Física (1623).

Published: October 2021

Was darf's denn sein: Reiheneckhaus, Doppelhaus, ein Bungalow oder doch das freistehende Einfamilienhaus? Die Verwirklichung des ganz individuellen Traums vom Eigenheim stellt sich als eines der letzten großen Abenteuer des 21. Jahrhunderts dar. So viele Unwägbarkeiten müssen in Betracht gezogen werden, so viele Terrains, in denen sich kaum ein Laie noch zurechtfindet, gilt es zu durchschauen und sinnvoll weit vorausschauend in die Planung mit einzubeziehen.

Jede Abenteuerreise beginnt mit einem guten Reiseführer oder besser noch mit einem erfahrenen Reisebegleiter, der sich im Dschungel des Unbekannten auskennt, der rechtzeitig auf Gefahren hinweist und an besonders heiklen Punkten vor unüberlegtem Handeln warnt. »Überleben Hausbau« begleitet jeden Bauherren auf seiner Reise: von den allgemeinen Grundsatzüberlegungen im Vorfeld über die Grundrissgestaltung bis hin zur Wartung und Instandhaltung des fertigen Eigenheims.

Ob man nun mit eigener Hände Kraft am Bau mitwirkt oder als rein koordinierender Bauherr stets Herr der Lage sein muss, es stehen zahllose Herausforderungen an, die es zu bewältigen gilt. Die Autoren geben in diesem Ratgeber einen umfassenden Überblick über alle Aspekte des Hausbaus, vermitteln Sicherheit im Umgang mit Paragrafen, Verträgen sowie Vertragspartnern und verdeutlichen zu jeder Zeit, dass die Rolle des Bauherren wörtlich zu nehmen ist: Der Bauherr fällt die Entscheidungen, trägt die Verantwortung und die daraus resultierenden Auswirkungen.

Die optisch separat ausgewiesenen Expertentipps machen dem Leser auf einen Blick ersichtlich, an welchen Stellen besonders kritische Fragestellungen behandelt werden. Sie erleichtern die Entscheidungsfindung, da stets über den Tellerrand hinaus weit in die Zukunft gedacht wird. So wird es jedem Bauherren einfach gemacht, sich der Konsequenzen bewusst zu werden, die ein augenscheinlich kleines Detail auf das Großprojekt Eigenheim haben kann. Ein umfangreiches Glossar rundet den Ratgeber ab und erklärt sämtliche Fachbegriffe, damit man sich mit allen Beteiligten auf Augenhöhe bewegen kann.

Authors: Ibrahim Nor Rosidah , Subono Susilowati Heru , Taib Fahisham , Mohamad Norsarwany
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Sexual education is an important step to prevent unwanted pregnancy, abortions and sexual transmitted diseases (STDs) in adolescent. Assessment of the sexual health knowledge and the attitude towards premarital sexual activity are essential to fill in this gap of knowledge. Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the knowledge on the sexual health and attitude towards premarital sexual activity among the sexually abused adolescent. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 88 female teenagers who were admitted to Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia for sexual abuse. Using a self-administered validated Malay questionnaire, participants were guided to answer the question on knowledge and attitude. The attitude was categorized to a permissive and non-permissive attitude. Simple and multiple binary logistic regression were used to analyze the associated factors with the attitude. Result: The lowest percentage of correct responses included: penile discharge during ejaculation contains sperm (5.7%), pregnancy may not occur if having sexual intercourse once only (26.1%), having vaginal washing after sexual intercourse prevents pregnancies (19.3%). Forty-one (48.0%) of participants had a permissive attitude whereas forty-seven (53.4%) had a non-permissive attitude toward premarital sexual activity. Simple and multiple logistic regressions did not reveal any significant associated factors. Conclusion: The sexual health knowledge among sexually abused children was inadequate and they were at risk of permissive attitude toward premarital sexual activity. We could not identify any factors related to the permissive attitude in our study.

Published: October 2021

SHORT Syndrome is a rare genetic condition with less than 50 cases reported worldwide. Its name is an acronym, represented by Short stature, Hyperextensibility of joints, Ocular depression, Rieger anomaly and Teething delay. Other associated features include intrauterine growth restriction, lipodystrophy, delayed bone age and progeroid appearance. Cognitive function is usually preserved. Our patient was a 7-year-old-boy, referred at 9 months old forsex chromosome mosaicism detected on his karyotype analysis. He was born term via normal vaginal delivery with a birth weight of 2.05 kg and good Apgar score. Antenatally, mother was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus not requiring insulin. From 7 months gestation, serial scans showed symmetrical intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Examination at birth revealed a baby small for age, with prominent ears and micrognathia. During his subsequent clinic visits, he manifested Russell-Silver-like phenotype; failure to thrive, broad forehead and triangular facies, although additional features of wrinkled skin over his hands and feet, deep set eyes, groove over his chin and large ears were also seen. Genetic studies for Russell-Silver Syndrome (RSS) and chromosomal microarray testing which was done subsequently, were both normal. His genetic condition remained elusive for many years. A clinical diagnosis of SHORT Syndrome was finally considered. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing method was used to analyse the targeted gene at Institute for Medical Research (IMR), Kuala Lumpur. A heterozygous mutation was detected at c.1945C>T in exon 15 of PIK3R1 gene; which impairs cellular growth and proliferation. This case report discusses the differential diagnosis of a dysmorphic child with short stature with RSS -like phenotype.

Published: October 2021

La ergonomía es la ciencia que estudia cómo adecuar la relación del ser humano con su entorno. Sin embargo, existe una serie de acciones que implican riesgos a la salud de las personas, por lo que afecta la ergonomía del sistema que le rodea. En este sentido, los trabajos de oficina otorgan una serie de componentes que tienen la posibilidad de entrañar riesgos ergonómicos que están afectando a la salud y el bienestar del empleado. Por lo cual, el objetivo de este artículo de revisión es identificar los factores que causan los riesgos ergonómicos asociados al puesto de trabajo del personal administrativo. Esto se ha llevado a cabo mediante una revisión documental sistemática que permite transcribir los resultados de los estudios existentes en la literatura científica sobre el tema a tratar. Como conclusión, los riesgos ergonómicos en los puestos de trabajo demuestran que pueden ser causados por una carga postural no adecuada, condiciones ambientales y aspectos psicosociales que afectan a la salud y el bienestar del trabajador, donde algunos de estos factores son el diseño del mobiliario (mesa, sillas o pantallas de visualización de datos) o los factores ambientales como la iluminación, el ruido o la temperatura.
Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Chronic Wounds
Authors: Khangura Sara D. , Spry Carolyn
Published: October 2021

Limited clinical effectiveness data suggest that single-use negative pressure wound therapy may reduce the frequency of dressing changes when compared with standard wound therapy (evidence from 1 single-arm study).

No clinical evidence was identified describing the impact of single-use negative pressure wound therapy on functionality, pain, mortality, length of hospital stay, quality of life, and safety.

It is unknown whether single-use or disposable negative pressure wound therapy is cost-effective for the management of chronic wounds (no eligible studies found).

One guideline provides recommendations relevant to single-use negative pressure wound therapy with chronic wounds; however, there is no clear link to a robust evidence review reported by the guideline developers.
THE LEGAL POSITION OF CANING PUNISHMENT IN ACEH
Authors: Zulfan Zulfan , Hatta Muhammad
Published: October 2021

Amongst the punishments that have been implemented in the Islamic criminal law is caning punishment. The caning punishment in Aceh is carried out directly and opens to the public. However, some Islamic countries carry out caning in private such as in prisons. In Aceh, the implementation of caning that has been carried out openly is based on Aceh Qanun Number 6 of 2014 concerning Jinayat Law and Qanun No. 7 of 2013 concerning Jinayat Procedural Law. However, in 2015, the implementation of the caning was carried out behind closed doors like in prisons. This is in accordance with the Governor Regulation Number 5 of 2018 about the Implementation of 'Uqubat Whip’ in the Correctional Institutions. Changes in the implementation of the caning punishment led to the pros and cons among the society. Many believe that the implementation of caning in a closed manner will affect the effectiveness of the punishment in reducing the number of shari'ah violations. Although there are many factors that influence the number of crime in society, the punishment and the implementation of the punishment itself are considered as the most important factors
Case Service Reporting: Meeting Guidelines for WIOA and Supporting Documentation
Authors: Downing Brittny
Published: October 2021

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA) of 2014 further amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, prompting numerous changes for agencies receiving federal funding. The overall goal of the legislation was to strengthen and improve the workforce development system, including employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities. Implementation of these changes is monitored through common performance measures, which provide standards for each agency operating within the WIOA authority. The Indiana Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (IN DDRS), a state vocational rehabilitation agency funded under WIOA, has implemented these changes. This evaluation assessed the effectiveness of IN DDRS’s data system, training, and business process changes specific to the new WIOA requirements. Furthermore, the study provided survey response feedback from Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors (VRC) on the processes in place, training provided, and the impact of the WIOA changes on their daily job duties and provided suggestions to improve performance measures processes within the state.
Developing a Dashboard: Preliminary Steps and What We Learned
Authors: Harris Kevin
Published: October 2021

Within public programs, dashboards can serve an effective tool to monitor outcomes and support data-driven decision-making (Groomes et al., 2012). The New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CBVI) seeks to develop a dashboard to measure and track outcomes across various Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) performance measures. To inform development of the dashboard, this study examined data on exit type, exit reason, and employment outcomes for consumers exiting the program. Results indicated differences in Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) outcomes by region, race, and gender. Additionally, other exit reasons, such as no longer interested in services and unable to locate or contact are shared.
George Steiner’s Metaphors for Translation: A Critical Commentary
Authors: O'Keeffe Brian
Published: October 2021

George Steiner’s After Babel contains many riches, and many of these can be found in the chapter “The Hermeneutic Motion”. But that chapter has its chal­lenges and vexing provocations, and it therefore merits critical commentary. At issue, I argue, is the problematic elaboration of various metaphors for translation and a certain laxity in argument that is covered over by the fineness of Steiner’s writing style. The purpose of this essay is to offer such a commentary, and to do so by making two further propositions: firstly, that this chapter in After Babel stands to gain if it’s read alongside his 1989 book Real Presences; secondly, that it can be elucidated by way of a thinker who, despite Steiner’s own reservations, is quite per­ti­nent to the matters addressed in “The Hermeneutic Motion”, namely Jacques Der­rida.
FACTORS INFLUENCING PERFORMANCE OF MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM SCALE ENTERPRISES IN BORNO STATE, NIGERIA: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Usman Fatimah Inuwa , Tahir Fatima Alfa
Published: October 2021

Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises are considered the engine for growth of any nation. Yet, the performance of these enterprises leaves much to be desired. Scholars have asserted that this poor performance is influenced by numerous factors. The study explores the factors influencing the performance of Micro, Small and Medium Scale Businesses in Borno state, Nigeria. A small sample of MSME owners across Maiduguri metropolitan council were randomly surveyed using a single questionnaire. The content validity of the instrument was assessed by scrutiny and validation from two Professors of Management from the University of Maiduguri to ensure statements are clear and capture what they are intended to measure. The reliability of the instrument was also examined using the Cronbach alpha coefficient to ensure items are consistent in measuring each construct. Data was coded and analyzed with the aid of Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Results from the exploratory factor analysis showed infrastructural facilities, government policies, entrepreneurial training and insecurity were principal factors exerting influence on the performance of Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Maiduguri.
Capítulo 3. Hacia un modelo mediático co-responsable con modelos de transición ecosocial: aplicación y alcance del Indicador de Transición Ecosocial
Authors: Espinar Medina Lara , Chaparro Escudero Manuel , Peralta Lidia
Published: October 2021

Se plantea la necesidad de analizar el compromiso de los medios con el cambio climático como cuestión relacionada directamente con la economía del desarrollo y la necesidad de trabajar agendas para una transición ecosocial. El debate sobre la transformación de nuestro actual modelo económico-social-cultural es también una responsabilidad de los medios. El indicador de transición ecosocial mide la implicación de los medios en esta tarea de sensibilización, debate y toma de conciencia de una ciudadanía que empieza a demandar cada vez con más fuerza medidas urgentes. El necesario cambio cultural y de sistema es inevitable ante el reto de la supervivencia de nuestros ecosistemas. Invisibilizar el problema o tratarlo como una mera cuestión climática es tanto como asumir una actitud negacionista que aboca al ecocidio. La propuesta de este indicador se plantea como una variable más de IRSCOM en su medición de responsabilidad y rentabilidad social mediática.

Capítulo 8. Panorama de la radiodifusión en Costa Rica: entre la desregulación y la ausencia de medios comunitarios
Authors: Alvarado Vargas Andrea
Published: October 2021

Costa Rica tiene vigente la Ley de Radio que data de 1954. Es un marco normativo obsoleto que no está acorde con los avances tecnológicos en materia de radiodifusión, ni con las recomendaciones internacionales emanadas de la Relatoría para la Libertad de Expresión de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) y la Unesco. Esa ley se creó cuando no existía aún la televisión en Costa Rica, por lo tanto, no contempló regulaciones al respecto.Con el paso de los años, a dicha ley se le fueron derogando artículos que dieron como resultado enormes vacíos que nunca fueron sustituidos por nueva regulación. En el año 2008 se aprobó una Ley General de Telecomunicaciones que continuó con la práctica de derogar artículos de la Ley de Radio, pero mantuvo la vigencia de esta última normativa en materia de radiodifusión.Entre las más preocupantes carencias de la Ley de Radio se encuentra la ausencia de un proceso claro para acceder a las concesiones de radio y televisión. Nunca en Costa Rica se ha realizado un concurso público que permita a todos los sectores de la sociedad acceder a una radio o a un canal de televisión.

Capítulo 12. Democracy and media transparency: systemic failures in greek radio ecosystem and the rise of alternative web radio
Authors: Papadopoulou Lambrini
Published: October 2021

Independent and free media are considered to be an essential component of any democratic society. Especially in countries that have been hit hard by the economic crisis and austerity measures, such as Greece, the need for independent journalism to act as watchdog, on behalf of civil society is more important than ever. However, the clientelistic relationships upon which the whole Greek media landscape is built, leaves little room for a journalism that investigates, exposes and holds those in power accountable. It is within this context, we argue, that alternative web radio stations are emerging, taking advantage of the internet technology in order to create bottom-up journalistic initiatives that challenge the current narratives and seek to constitute a new paradigm of journalism. This paper sets out to examine the general characteristics of the Greek media ecosystem but also goes on to examine the particular conditions that led to the current media crisis. It also discusses the legislative framework surrounding Greek media. Finally, this paper aims to provide a brief overview of the alternative web radios that have emerged in the current media ecosystem, by presenting in three Greek alternative web radio stations, describing their basic characteristics, principles, structures and their views on journalistic practices.

To avoid information overload and to retain the right information for reuse, an effective mechanism for evaluating information is required. Various tools and strategies are presented in an attempt to obtain information's "value." This study examines the topic of information overload, the definition of information value, and associated research on the value of information in many fields to resolve this issue. The Bayesian Theorem and information characteristics are used to offer a framework for evaluating information.
A REVIEW ON A COMPUTATIONAL MODEL OF SHYNESS FOR ARTIFICIAL AGENTS IN THE MALAYSIAN LEARNING DOMAIN
Authors: Shamini Saraswathy
Published: October 2021

Shyness is a difficulty experienced by many children in our country. Although it is a norm that Asians exhibit more colourings of shyness (e.g. timidity, passiveness, non-confrontational); studies conducted within the learning domain verifies that this personality trait is being acknowledged as a negative trait, especially among young learners (children) which is likely to affect their potential and performance in the academic platform. Teachers and peers may falsely belief that these students are less capable and less intelligent which may develop a poor perception towards them. However, these shy students find computer-mediated communication to be easier means of interaction than face-to-face contact with teachers. In-line with the Malaysian Education Blueprint (2015-2025) by the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE), development and use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) (e.g. e-learning, educational games and other interactive learning platforms through computer interfaces) are very much encouraged. Hence, implementing an interactive artificial tutor (fit with a shyness model) to automatically adapt and interact to the user’s emotional state could help in overcoming shyness, at the same time encourage these shy learners to confidently communicate and exhibit their capabilities. This research intends to review the background study on the usefulness of a shyness computational model which will be integrated with an interactive synthetic tutor. The aim of this study is to identify and capture the display features of colourings of shyness (e.g. timidity, passiveness, non-confrontational) through facial features (e.g. smiles, pouting) and vocal behaviours (silences, frequent pauses,filler words and turn-taking patterns) projected by shy young Malaysian learners (children aged between 9-11 years). These markers will be collected and constructed into a shyness model suitable for interactive synthetic agents used in the learning domain for teaching and training young learners in a typical Malaysian academic setting.
Methodology for Simulation of IoT-Based Flood Data Collection Infrastructure
Authors: Abdul Ghapar Azimah , Yussof Salman
Published: October 2021

Internet of Things (IoT) is a potential technology to be used for data collection tasks in real-world environments. However, due to the difficulty of deploying and testing a real IoT implementation, many researchers end up having to use software simulation to evaluate their proposed techniques. This paper focuses on the use of IoT for collecting flood-related data, which would then use by flood-related applications such as flood prediction applications and flood early warning systems. This paper proposed a methodology for simulating the IoT system used for flood data collection. The proposed methodology consists of four main steps which are identifying the flood environment, defining the architecture for flood data collection, simulating the IoT-based flood data collection infrastructure and analyzing the results.

O crescimento das vendas pela internet tem estimulado as empresas a investirem em estratégias de marketing. Esse estímulo tem intuito de aproximá-las dos consumidores e entender as necessidades e desejos do público-alvo, tanto feminino quanto masculino, bem como, utilizar o marketing e suas ferramentas nestes diferentes públicos de modo, a saber, como os consumidores percebem essas ações. Diante disso, o objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar a percepção entre os homens e mulheres quanto à influência do marketing nas decisões de compra de vestuário em empresas virtuais. O percurso metodológico adotado consiste em uma pesquisa de campo de natureza quantitativa e caráter descritivo. A população alvo é o consumidor de vestuário online acima de 18 anos no estado Ceará. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário online, em uma amostragem por conveniência composta por 366 observações, tanto da capital quanto das cidades do interior cearense. A análise dos dados demonstrou que quanto maior a renda da pessoa, maior a tendência de utilizar a internet para compras de vestuário. Além disso, identificou-se que preço e, em seguida, a qualidade do produto são os constructos de marketing com maior influência no processo de decisão de compra por meio do e-commerce.

A Low Income Housing Needs and Affordability for Thailand’s Strategic National Plan During 2017-2037

Published: October 2021

This paper has developed a model to forecast the housing needs and affordability of the low-income households in Thailand 2018-2037. The model has applied the baseline data from the socioeconomic survey (SES 2015). Considering official population projections by the changing age structure and household formations based on income, forecasts can be made about housing needed by ‘Renters’, who are the target group of the low-income households. Given, heuristic scenarios on households’ income growthover time, an initial planning model for affordable units of housing by types for renters has been proposed.

Effective government policy to mobilize social resource for this low-income household is needed. It is shown that in the long-run, as mean income rises with changing income distribution, households can rely more on the private market provision of housing supply. The model can easily be used for Strategic National Planning by changing assumptions and parameters by the National Housing Authority of Thailand. The NHA in partnership with CODI can solidly plan for the role of low-income housing policy with government intervention on interest rates, terms loan and other policy instruments such as tax exemption for the land sharing in the housing and community development. This paper suggests meta-planning of an urban city model study where NHA, CODI will work together in partnership with other government agencies, the private sector, financial institutions, and academics
Refining the Adaptive Capacity Framework for World Heritage Management
Authors: Unakul Montira
Published: October 2021

Well-developed in the context of climate change, the concept of adaptive capacity has so far not been applied extensively to the study of World Heritage management. This paper applies the analytic framework of adaptive capacity to better understand how institutional attributes enable or hinder systemic adaptation in managing World Heritage sites as boundaries of practice expand due to changing concepts of heritage and emerging management challenges. Drawing upon case studies from Southeast Asia, the study proposes a refined framework with the following dimensions of adaptive capacity: cognitive frames, learning capacity, resources, formal governance measures, organizational relationships, and agency.

The case study is the Sundarbans, which is a mangrove forest and coastal wetland with a complex ecosystem formed by a variety of plants and animals. Due to its diversity, ecosystem richness and uniqueness, this contiguous block has a huge impact on both local and global environment and is significant among researchers, conservationists and nature lovers. Karamjal, Bangladesh, one of the main entry points of Sundarban Reserve Forest is enriched with a diversified ecosystem. But now this site is deteriorating day by day with increasing unplanned build forms and visitors. For betterment of ecological setting and tourism facilities for global attention, Karamjal is indicative of better consideration both ecologically and architecturally. After analysis, a case study of site-specific design is proposed for improvement of this site.
