Authors: Sultana Nawrin , Hasan Md. Jahid
Published: December 2024

Bangladesh is among the nations that have ratified significant international statements promoting inclusion in education. The goal of social inclusion in education is to bring all students together in a consistent teaching-learning strategy; including a subset of disadvantaged children in regular classrooms is only one facet of this concept (Berryman, 2011). Recent studies have shown that the social environment of classroom activities and the academic context are frequently different in Bangladesh’s inclusive education systems. At the same time, after this new learning environment of pandemic COVID- 19, it has become imperative to rethink social inclusiveness in education. This study indicates the exact practices of social inclusion in the teaching-learning processes and behavioral aspects of secondary education (from grade 6 to 10) in Bangladesh according to National Education Policy 2010, Recommendations of Teaching quality improvement in secondary education project by Asian Development Bank, Final Report of Teaching Quality Improvement in Secondary Education Project (TQI- SEP), follow up of Secondary Education Sector Development Project (SE-SDP) and Secondary Education Quality and Access Enhancement Project (SEQAEP). This study explores the existing practices of social inclusion in the teaching- learning processes and behavioral aspects of secondary education in Bangladesh through literature review and primary data source. Primary data were collected from 60 selected samples (30 students, 20 teachers and 10 parents) based on convenient and snowball format with narrative approach. The results underscore the attitudes and real practices of the teachers’ and practitioners of secondary schools of our country towards social inclusion. The findings can be supportive for the policy makers and stakeholders who are now working with development of the framework of National curriculum 2021, National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB), Ministry of Education and can have a further study for how Bangladesh get predominant international treaties in teaching- learning development process especially in practice of social inclusivity in classroom level. There are many studies which are mainly based on the inclusion of primary education of Bangladesh. The ultimate philosophy of this study is to embrace all the learners in the social context of secondary education of Bangladesh with equitable access and participation in schools.

Published: December 2024

The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are designed for the monitoring of remote areas in various places with a variety of different applications. The main challenges with the WSN are energy efficiency and fault recovery. In order to optimize the network lifetime of the WSN, fault node recovery and energy efficient clustering are required in order to efficiently utilize the energy supply device of battery-powered sensors. The purpose of this paper is to develop a hybrid algorithm that combines the K-means clustering technique with fault node recovery in the WSN in order to reduce energy consumption and extend sensor lifetimes. A hybrid algorithm combine’s fault node recovery with energy-efficient clustering methods in order to reduce energy usage. We are using Grade Diffusion (GD) with Genetic Algorithm (GA) to detect fault nodes. In complex or large WSNs, K-means clustering can be used to reduce the complexity of the hybrid algorithm in order to reduce its complexity. As the hybrid algorithm is used for identifying fault nodes and replacing nodes with neighbor nodes, it is primarily used for the computation of grade values. With the proposed fault node recovery and energy efficient clustering methods, the energy consumption of each node can be minimized and the network lifetime can be improved as well. Using the MATLAB platform, we compared the suggested method to several existing ones including “Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH), Hybrid Hierarchical Clustering Approach (HHCA), Novel Energy Aware Hierarchical Cluster (NEAHC), and Heuristic Algorithm for Clustering Hierarchical Protocol (HACH)”, among others in terms of residual and consumption energy, as well as receiving packet data.

Authors: Gulhane Monali , Sajana T.
Published: December 2024

Heart disease remains a leading cause of death globally, making the development of accurate and understandable diagnostic models crucial. This research introduces an integrated approach that combines advanced ensemble learning techniques like XGBoost and AdaBoost with methods to enhance transparency, specifically SHAP (“SHapley Additive exPlanations”). Using the Heart Disease Dataset, the models were fine-tuned to achieve an impressive accuracy of 95.6%. The study details the mathematical underpinnings of these ensemble methods, including loss functions and weight optimization. SHAP values were used to interpret the model’s predictions, providing clear insights into which features are most important and making the model’s decisions more transparent. This framework not only boosts diagnostic accuracy but also ensures that the predictions can be understood by clinicians, addressing the need for both precision and clarity in healthcare applications. The experimental results showed significant improvements over traditional models, proving the effectiveness of this integrated method. Future research will look into applying this approach to other cardiovascular datasets and improving the explainability further to better integrate into clinical practice.

Published: December 2024

Academic stress is a common issue among high school students, affecting both their well-being and academic performance. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Mandala art therapy in reducing academic stress among high school students in Anand District, Gujarat. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was used, with 60 students selected through non-probability convenient sampling. Data collection included socio-demographic characteristics and the Scale for Assessing Academic Stress (SAAS) developed by Dr Uday K Sinha. After a pre-test students received six sessions of Mandala art therapy over two weeks on alternate days, followed by a post-test. The results showed that before the intervention, 32 (52.33%) students had moderate stress, 23 (38.33%) had low stress, and 5 (8.33%) had high stress. Post-intervention, the majority 38 (63.33%) shifted to low stress. Paired sample t-test revealed a significant mean difference of 3.16 ± 4.56 (t = 5.376, p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant reduction in academic stress levels after the intervention of Mandala art therapy. Furthermore, demographic factors such as age, gender, and year of education were significantly associated with academic stress (p < 0.05). The findings conclude that Mandala art therapy effectively reduces academic stress and is influenced by demographic variables. Thus, Mandala art therapy can be considered a beneficial intervention for managing academic stress among high school students.
Accuracy Investigation on Orthophotos Produced from Digital Aerial Imagery Recorded from Different Altitudes
Authors: Yaman Aydan , Yılmaz Hacı Murat
Published: December 2024

A digital orthophoto is a topographic image that has a fixed scale like a map and on which values such as coordinates and lengths can be read, which is obtained by eliminating the errors caused by tilts and rotations in aerial images and minimizing the point shifts caused by height differences in the terrain. Digital orthophotos offer more flexible, cost-effective, and higher-quality outputs than classical methods. There is no decrease in the quality of the image as in the analog technique, and it can also be presented quickly and easily in the digital environment. The geometrical accuracy of orthophoto maps used in geomatics applications is of even greater importance. This study compared the orthophoto maps, that have a fixed scale like maps, obtained from digital aerial photographs at a ground sample distance of 7, 15 and 25 cm in 2011 in the campus area of Aksaray University, in terms of their positional accuracy. Orthophoto mosaic images were created using “Erdas LPS” software. When the accuracy are compared, it was found that digital orthophoto maps produced at three different ground sample distances gave us similar results for standard techniques. It was also concluded that the positional accuracy of orthophoto maps for all three ground sample distances was suitable for use as reference and as a base in all application areas, except for those requiring very high accuracy.

Change management in rural areas in light of programming and reporting documents as well as research findings
Authors: Jędrzejczyk Irena
Published: December 2024

Change management, as a key scientific category, in this article refers to the theory of
regional development and the multi-level implementation of regional development policy. The process of change management in rural areas in Poland produces results, the identification and evaluation of which are divergent. In the public discussion, programme documents, reports and literature there are both very positive assessments and extremely negative diagnoses of the situation in rural areas and in Polish agriculture.
The aim of the article is to analyse opinions on changes taking place in Polish rural areas
and to assess the effects of these changes expressed in various programme documents, reports, statistical studies and literature on the subject. The problem to be solved on the cognitive ground is the lack of unified criteria for assessing changes taking place in rural areas, a set of which would reflect a more objectivised picture of rural areas and would more faithfully reflect the mechanism of management of changes.
The study used the desk research method. Information already collected and processed
by other researchers and authors of documents, including those produced for regional
development policy, was used.
The analysis carried out provided an answer to the fundamental question of similarites
and differences in the assessment of change in rural areas and in the effects of these changes.
Based on the results of the analysis, there is no single set of characteristics of an objective image of thr Polish countryside. As the review of evauations shows, this image evolves from an idyllic rurality, through over-optimistic forecasts of an increased affluence thanks to the support of European Union funds, to a picture of rural areas threatended by permanent marginalisation and serious indebtedness of rural and urban-rural municipalities in Poland,
Some rural areas, or even the greater part of them, classified as being at risk of marginalisation or permanently at risk of marginalisation, also decrease their development potential and increase their development gap with other areas as a result of the loss of their functions.
It is legitimate to continue research on the basis of further sources of available information and to polemicise the assessments contained therein.

Neste artigo apresentamos os resultados de uma pesquisa que objetivou caracterizar a produção acadêmica das dissertações e teses relacionadas à Modelagem Matemática na Educação Infantil e Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental defendidas nos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu no Brasil, no período de 2010 a 2022. Realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa na modalidade de uma meta-análise. O corpus da pesquisa foi constituído por 37 pesquisas – 30 dissertações e 7 teses. Para analisar a produção, recorreremos à Análise de Conteúdo na perspectiva de Bardin (1977) e Rodrigues (2019), que nos proporcionou a constituição de Categorias de Análise, pelas quais elaboramos sete sínteses interpretativas na presente meta-análise. Os resultados da meta-análise indicaram que o foco está nas reflexões, percepções e ações de estudantes e professores durante o processo de modelagem matemática na Educação Infantil e Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental.
Peronismo, agro y ambiente.
Authors: Silvestro Micaela
Published: December 2024

El libro Peronismo, agro y ambiente escrito por Federico Martocci se inscribe en la colección "La Argentina Peronista", orientada a un público diverso. Esta obra aborda las iniciativas estatales implementadas durante el primer gobierno peronista para favorecer la conservación del suelo y la protección del caldenal en el centro del país. Así, trae luz a una problemática vinculada al proceso erosivo que se había identificado desde la década de 1930. Tal como repone el autor en los inicios, esta dimensión no ha perdido vigencia y da muestra de ello en una lúcida conexión con procesos contemporáneos, como el truncado proyecto de creación del Parque Nacional El Caldenal en el año 2022. El recorte temporal retoma las primeras respuestas estatales ante la crisis agroclimática erosiva que adquirió intensidad notable a finales de 1930, hasta la concreción de proyectos que tuvieron lugar durante el gobierno peronista que concluye en 1955, con el golpe cívico-militar que derrocó a Perón. Esta realidad productiva y ambiental presentada dista de ese imaginario generalizado que vincula a la Argentina como el “granero del mundo” y nos pone frente a eventos mucho más complejos que matizan esas imágenes rurales muchas veces idealizadas.
Modeling Overall Level of Satisfaction with Sidewalks outside Metro Terminals: A User-Centric Approach
Authors: Chintakayala Lalitha Sree
Published: December 2024

This study addresses the gap in integrating subjective pedestrian satisfaction with sidewalks and the need for micro-level assessments near metro terminals to enhance first- and last-mile connectivity. Thus, it models the Overall Level of Satisfaction (OLS) with sidewalks around metro stations by combining user perceptions with traditional assessment variables. Data was collected through user rating surveys, where respondents evaluated sidewalk characteristics. The data was split into training and testing data (75:25). An Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR) model was developed and analysed the relationship between physical and user characteristics with OLS. Key findings indicate that Surface Condition, Width, Continuity, Walking Environment, Safety, Security and Comfort positively influence OLS, while Obstructions, Vehicular Conflict and Encroachments negatively impact it. The McFadden pseudo-R-square (𝜌²) value of 0.235 shows that the model explains 23.5% of the variance in OLS, demonstrating strong explanatory power and a good fit to the data.

Langweilig war es jedenfalls nicht, das zu Ende gehende Jahr. Die Bauernproteste im Januar sorgten für Aufsehen. Der Krieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine hatte Auswirkungen auf die Getreidemärkte. Und bei einigen Unternehmen lief es überraschend schlecht. Ursula von der Leyen nutzte ihre zweite Amtszeit, um Mercosur abzuschließen. Auch das gefiel nicht jedem, genau wie das „Zukunftsprogramm Pflanzenschutz“.
Dynamic Multi-Agent Orchestration and Retrieval for Multi-Source Question-Answer Systems using Large Language Models
Authors: Seabra Antony , Cavalcante Claudio , Nepomuceno Jo˜ao , Lago Lucas , Ruberg Nicolaas , Lifschitz S´ergio
Published: December 2024

We propose a methodology that combines several advanced techniques in Large Language Model (LLM) retrieval to support the development of robust, multi-source questionanswer systems. This methodology is designed to integrate information from diverse data sources, including unstructured documents (PDFs) and structured databases, through a coordinated multi-agent orchestration and dynamic retrieval approach. Our methodology leverages specialized agents—such as SQL agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agents, and router agents—that dynamically select the most appropriate retrieval strategy based on the nature of each query. To further improve accuracy and contextual relevance, we employ dynamic prompt engineering, which adapts in real time to query-specific contexts. The methodology’s effectiveness is demonstrated within the domain of Contract Management, where complex queries often require seamless interaction between unstructured and structured data. Our results indicate that this approach enhances response accuracy and relevance, offering a versatile and scalable framework for developing question-answer systems that can operate across various domains and data sources.
Divergent Ensemble Networks: Enhancing Uncertainty Estimation with Shared Representations and Independent Branching
Authors: Chandorkar A , Kharbanda A
Published: December 2024

Ensemble learning has proven effective in improving predictive performance and estimating uncertainty in neural networks. However, conventional ensemble methods often suffer from redundant parameter usage and computational inefficiencies due to entirely independent network training. To address these challenges, we propose the Divergent Ensemble Network (DEN), a novel architecture that combines shared representation learning with independent branching. DEN employs a shared input layer to capture common features across all branches, followed by divergent, independently trainable layers that form an ensemble. This shared-to-branching structure reduces parameter redundancy while maintaining ensemble diversity, enabling efficient and scalable learning.

Published: December 2024

In this work, the main objective is to provide a contribution of resources adaptation to consumption demand in IOT environments. To do this, we have proposed a data model including the entities "resource ", "load ", "event ", "policy" and "device" as well as the different relationships between IOT devices and others. This data model, an adaptation process is proposed as well as a mathematical model based on the optimization of resource consumption on requests while, taking into account certain constraints including the Maximum Capacity of resources, the Satisfaction of user or IOT device requests and the Energy Constraints have been proposed. The simulation results regarding the optimization of resource consumption show that our model could be beneficial for smart city management, industry 4.0 and e-health.
