Authors: Gao Yuanfang , Rong Qian
Published: July 2024

Brand visual design is not only an essential bridge for companies to convey their ideas and values but also a key factor in shaping the brand image and enhancing market competitiveness. However, a pervasive concern has arisen in society that many recent graduates in brand design and visual design cannot immediately meet the demands of the design industry. Despite attempts by scholars to reform courses and teaching philosophies, there are still significant shortcomings and gaps. Therefore, based on market orientation and supply-demand concepts, this study collected in-depth recruitment demands for brand design from 74 companies and conducted systematic summarization and analysis. It synthesized a demand model consisting of three major modules and 55 content points required by companies for brand design students. Based on these demands, adjustments and plans were made to the curriculum content, aiming to construct a teaching system that not only meets market demands but also enhances students’ comprehensive qualities. The goal is to cultivate more outstanding talents capable of quickly adapting to and excelling in brand design work.

Authors: Tardini Gabriella Alexander , Suharjito .
Published: July 2024

The unstable crude palm oil (CPO) prices have an impact on assessments of economic growth and environmental sustainability, as well as market strategies, international trade discussions, and consumer pricing expectations for products made from CPO. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the best prediction method to accurately forecast this cost. This research aims to develop an accurate time series data prediction model for crude palm oil prices using GRU and LSTM methods. The study also aims to identify the best-performing model by comparing their performance. This study uses LSTM and GRU methods as well as Bi-LSTM as a comparison, using crude palm oil price data from the Indonesian Ministry of Trade (August 1, 2018–August 31, 2023) from Medan (1064 data points) and Rotterdam SPOT (617 data), Rotterdam Forward 1 Month (1,022 data), and Rotterdam Forward 2 Month (950 data). Each dataset is then split into training and testing data with a 70:30 ratio. The hyperparameters used are (a) learning rate: (0.001); (b) batch size: 100; (c) node: (512); (d) optimizer: Adam; (e) and epoch: 50. The results of the forecast are highly accurate with a MAPE of less than 10%. Overall, both LSTM and GRU techniques demonstrate excellent performance in forecasting crude palm oil prices, but they may need to be modified based on data features. The ARIMA method can also be considered for forecasting. Future studies may consider optimizing parameters and model structures. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-03-05 Full Text: PDF

Bir Cerh Kriteri Olarak Yöneticilere Yakınlık ve Devlet Görevi Almak
Authors: Çelik Abdullah
Published: July 2024

Hicrî ikinci yüzyılda hadis râvilerinin yöneticilerle olan yakınlıkları ve bunun hadis münekkitleri tarafından nasıl değerlendirildiği, hadis ilmi açısından önemli bir konudur. Hadisçilerin devlet adamlarıyla olan ilişkileri, İslâm tarihinin erken dönemlerinde farklı biçimlerde ortaya çıkmıştır. Bazı muhaddisler iktidara muhalif bir yaklaşım sergilemişlerdir. Diğer taraftan muhaddislerin bir kısmı da yöneticilere yakın durmuş çoğunluğu oluşturan önemli bir kesim ise yöneticilerden uzak kalmıştır. Muhaddislerin yönetime yakın duran râvilere karşı olumsuz yaklaşımlarının tarihî süreçte yaşanan bazı siyasî olaylara bağlı olarak zamanla oluştuğu anlaşılmaktadır. Hicrî ikinci asra gelindiğinde münekkit muhaddislerin yöneticilere yakın olan râviler için cerh ifadeleri kullandıkları gözlenmektedir. Bununla birlikte birçok güvenilir hadisçi farklı nedenlerle devlet görevlerini üstlenmiş ve devlet yöneticileriyle yakın ilişkiler kurmuştur. Makalede hadis râvilerinin yöneticilere yakınlıkları muhaddislerce mutlak bir cerh olarak mı yoksa mürûet gibi daha tali sayılabilecek bir değerlendirme olarak mı kabul edildiği tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışmada nitel bir yöntem benimsenerek ilgili literatür taraması yapılmış olup daha çok fitne olaylarıyla başlayan ve siyasî mücadelenin yoğun olduğu hicrî birinci asrın sonu ile ikinci asırda hadis rivayetiyle tanınmış muhaddisler merkeze alınmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen bulgulara göre, hicrî ikinci asırda muhaddisler arasında, yöneticilere yakın olmaya ve devlet görevi üstlenmeye karşı genel itibariyle olumsuz bir yaklaşımın bulunmasına rağmen, kesin bir cerh nedeni olarak kabul edilmediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: July 2024

This research aims to enhance the customer experience in e-commerce furniture portals through the integration of augmented reality (AR), a dynamic pricing tool, and AI-driven 3D modeling. Utilizing machine learning algorithms, specifically SIFT and FLAAN, we develop highly accurate 3D models of furniture. The portal features various filters, including price range and categories, to streamline the shopping experience. The AI-enabled pricing tool, implemented through web scraping techniques on platforms like Amazon using BeautifulSoup, ensures sellers can set competitive and accursate prices, enhancing customer value. The platform allows sellers to request the addition of 3D models for their products. Admins then select the most similar 3D .obj models from the Shapenet dataset and embed AR links into the portal, enabling buyers to visualize furniture in their own space through augmented reality. This capability significantly improves the shopping experience by allowing customers to see how furniture fits in their home environment before purchase. The portal is built using Django for the backend and PostgreSQL for database management, ensuring a fast, secure, and reliable user experience. By combining AR, advanced 3D modeling, AI-driven pricing, and robust backend technologies, this research contributes to the development of a seamless and engaging e-commerce platform for furniture retail.

Published: July 2024

The subject of the study is an in-depth semantic data analysis based on the modification of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) methodology and its integration with the bidirectional encoding representation of transformers (BERT). Relevance. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a fundamental topic modeling technique that is widely used in a variety of text analysis applications. Although its usefulness is widely recognized, traditional LDA models often face limitations, such as a rigid distribution of topics and inadequate representation of semantic nuances inherent in natural language. The purpose and main idea of the study is to improve the adequacy and accuracy of semantic analysis by improving the basic LDA mechanism that integrates adaptive Dirichlet priorities and exploits the deep semantic capabilities of BERT embeddings. Research methods: 1) selection of textual datasets; 2) data preprocessing steps; 3) improvement of the LDA algorithm; 4) integration with BERT Embeddings; 5) comparative analysis. Research objectives: 1) theoretical substantiation of LDA modification; 2) implementation of integration with BERT; 3) evaluation of the method efficiency; 4) comparative analysis; 5) development of an architectural solution. The results of the research are that, first of all, the theoretical foundations of both the standard and modified LDA models are outlined, and their extended formula is presented in detail. Through a series of experiments on text datasets characterized by different emotional states, we emphasize the key advantages of the proposed approach. Based on a comparative analysis of such indicators as intra- and inter-cluster distances and silhouette coefficient, we prove the increased coherence, interpretability, and adaptability of the modified LDA model. An architectural solution for implementing the method is proposed. Conclusions. The empirical results indicate a significant improvement in the detection of subtle complexities and thematic structures in textual data, which is a step in the evolutionary development of thematic modeling methodologies. In addition, the results of the research not only open up the possibility of applying LDA to more complex linguistic scenarios, but also outline ways to further improve them for unsupervised text analysis.

The subject matter of the article is the process of assessing the sustainable development indices of the European Union countries. The goal of the article is to develop a methodology for determining the number of periods for which it is necessary and sufficient to assess the sustainable development indices of states. The article results the following task: to develop a methodology for determining the law of distribution of random variables of sustainable development indices. Determination of the minimum number of periods for assessing the sustainable development indices of the European Union countries. Methods used: parametric and ordinal statistics. The following results are obtained: parametric and non-parametric methods of statistics, their advantages and disadvantages are considered. Various methods of estimating the distribution function for small samples, in particular the method of rectangular contributions and the method of uncertainty reduction are analysed. Particular attention is paid to the problem of changing the law of scattering of quality indicators when changing the conditions of technology. A graph-analytical method for identifying the law of distribution of random variables based on a small amount of statistical information is proposed. For this purpose, the theory of ordinal statistics was used. A step-by-step methodology for identifying the law of distribution of random variables using 10 ordered values has been developed. The mathematical expectations of ordinal statistics for three distribution laws are proposed. A methodology for determining the number of periods for assessing the indices of sustainable development of countries using ordinal statistics is developed. The study is based on the analysis of statistical data for the last ten years and their ordering in ascending order. The mathematical expectations of ordinal statistics are used to select appropriate distribution laws. Given the limited information available when working with small samples, the article proposes a methodology that allows obtaining the maximum amount of information from the available data. The developed approach makes it possible to take into account the uncertainty of the phenomenon under study and make informed decisions based on statistical analysis. Conclusions: based on the knowledge of the law of distribution, a methodology for determining the minimum number of periods for assessing the sustainable development indices of the European Union countries is proposed. Testing of the methodology on real numerical data has confirmed that the minimum number of periods is seven, provided that the distribution law follows the normal law.
