Anomaly Detection for Asynchronous Multivariate Time Series of Nuclear Power Plants Using a Temporal-Spatial Transformer
Authors: Yi Shuang , Zheng Sheng , Yang Senquan , Zhou Guangrong , Cai Jiajun
Published: April 2024

Industrial process monitoring is a critical application of multivariate time-series (MTS) anomaly detection, especially crucial for safety-critical systems such as nuclear power plants (NPPs). However, some current data-driven process monitoring approaches may not fully capitalize on the temporal-spatial correlations inherent in operational MTS data. Particularly, asynchronous time-lagged correlations may exist among variables in actual NPPs, which further complicates this challenge. In this work, a reconstruction-based MTS anomaly detection approach based on a temporal-spatial transformer is proposed. It employs a two-stage temporal-spatial attention mechanism combined with a multi-scale strategy to learn the dependencies within normal operational data at various scales, thereby facilitating the extraction of temporal-spatial correlations from asynchronous MTS. Experiments on simulated datasets and real NPP datasets demonstrate that the proposed model possesses stronger feature learning capabilities, as evidenced by its improved performance in signal reconstruction and anomaly detection for asynchronous MTS data. Moreover, the proposed TS-Trans model enables earlier detection of anomalous events, which holds significant importance for enhancing operational safety and reducing potential losses in NPPs.
Implementation and Evaluation of Walk-in-Place Using a Low-Cost Motion-Capture Device for Virtual Reality Applications
Authors: Shin Rawoo , Choi Bogyu , Choi Sang-Min , Lee Suwon
Published: April 2024

Virtual reality (VR) is used in many fields, including entertainment, education, training, and healthcare, because it allows users to experience challenging and dangerous situations that may be impossible in real life. Advances in head-mounted display technology have enhanced visual immersion, offering content that closely resembles reality. However, several factors can reduce VR immersion, particularly issues with the interactions in the virtual world, such as locomotion. Additionally, the development of locomotion technology is occurring at a moderate pace. Continuous research is being conducted using hardware such as treadmills, and motion tracking using depth cameras, but they are costly and space-intensive. This paper presents a walk-in-place (WIP) algorithm that uses Mocopi, a low-cost motion-capture device, to track user movements in real time. Additionally, its feasibility for VR applications was evaluated by comparing its performance with that of a treadmill using the absolute trajectory error metric and survey data collected from human participants. The proposed WIP algorithm with low-cost Mocopi exhibited performance similar to that of the high-cost treadmill, with significantly positive results for spatial awareness. This study is expected to contribute to solving the issue of spatial constraints when experiencing infinite virtual spaces.
Graphene Nanoplatelets/Polydimethylsiloxane Flexible Strain Sensor with Improved Sandwich Structure
Authors: Zhang Junshu , Gao Ke , Weng Shun , Zhu Hongping
Published: April 2024

In engineering measurements, metal foil strain gauges suffer from a limited range and low sensitivity, necessitating the development of flexible sensors to fill the gap. This paper presents a flexible, high-performance piezoresistive sensor using a composite consisting of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The proposed sensor demonstrated a significantly wider range (97%) and higher gauge factor (GF) (6.3), effectively addressing the shortcomings of traditional strain gauges. The microstructure of the GNPs/PDMS composite was observed using a scanning electron microscope, and the distribution of the conductive network was analyzed. The mechanical behavior of the sensor encapsulation was analyzed, leading to the determination of the mechanisms influencing encapsulation. Experiments based on a standard equal-strength beam were conducted to investigate the influence of the base and coating dimensions of the sensor. The results indicated that reducing the base thickness and increasing the coating length both contributed to the enhancement of the sensor’s performance. These findings provide valuable guidance for future development and design of flexible sensors.
The Mechanism of Short-Circuit Oscillations in Automotive-Grade Multi-Chip Parallel Power Modules and an Effective Mitigation Approach

Published: April 2024

This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the oscillation phenomenon occurring in multi-chip parallel automotive-grade power modules under short-circuit conditions and investigates three suppression methods. We tested and analyzed two commercial automotive-grade power modules, one containing two chips and the other containing a single chip, and found that short-circuit gate oscillations were more likely to occur in multi-chip parallel packaged modules than in single-chip packaged modules. Through experimental and simulation analyses, we observed that gate oscillations were mainly caused by the interaction between internal parasitic parameters of the module and the external drive circuit, and we found that high drive resistance and low common emitter inductance between parallel chips could effectively suppress gate voltage oscillations. We also analyzed the two mainstream suppression schemes, increasing the drive gate resistance and placing the drive capacitors in parallel. Unfortunately, we found that these suppression schemes were not ideal solutions because both schemes changed the switching characteristics of the power module. As an alternative, we propose a simple and effective solution that involves adding parallel connections between the parallel chips. Simulation calculations showed that this optimized method reduced the emitter inductance between parallel chips in the upper bridge arm by about 30% and in the lower bridge arm by 35%. Through short-circuit experiments conducted at different DC bus voltages, it has been verified that the new optimized solution effectively resolves gate oscillation issues without affecting the switching characteristics of the power module.
Track Irregularity Identification Method of High-Speed Railway Based on CNN-Bi-LSTM
Authors: Yang Jinsong , Liu Jinzhao , Guo Jianfeng , Tao Kai
Published: April 2024

Track smoothness has become an important factor in the safe operation of high-speed trains. In order to ensure the safety of high-speed operations, studies on track smoothness detection methods are constantly improving. This paper presents a track irregularity identification method based on CNN-Bi-LSTM and predicts track irregularity through car body acceleration detection, which is easy to collect and can be obtained by passenger trains, so the model proposed in this paper provides an idea for the development of track irregularity identification method based on conventional vehicles. The first step is construction of the data set required for model training. The model input is the car body acceleration detection sequence, and the output is the irregularity sequence of the same length. The fluctuation trend of the irregularity data is extracted by the HP filtering (Hodrick Prescott Filter) algorithm as the prediction target. The second is a prediction model based on the CNN-Bi-LSTM network, extracting features from the car body acceleration data and realizing the point-by-point prediction of irregularities. Meanwhile, this paper proposes an exponential weighted mean square error with priority inner fitting (EIF-MSE) as the loss function, improving the accuracy of big value data prediction, and reducing the risk of false alarms. In conclusion, the model is verified based on the simulation data and the real data measured by the high-speed railway comprehensive inspection train.
Data-Driven Algorithms for Two-Location Inventory Systems
Authors: Zhong Zijun , Yuan Mingyang , He Zhou
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we consider a multiperiod, two-location inventory system with unknown demand distributions and perishable products. Products can be transshipped from the location with excess inventory to the other with excess demand to better fulfill customer demand. The demand distributions are assumed to follow a family of parametric distributions and can only be learned on the fly. To address the challenge, we propose a data-driven inventory management algorithm called DD2LI that achieves a good performance in terms of regret. This algorithm, DD2LI, employs maximum likelihood estimation to approximate the unknown parameter and determines the order quantity based on these estimations. In addition, we emphasize a key assumption that tightens regret bound. Finally, we test the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm by conducting numerical experiments for two scenarios.
Managing patients with eating disorders: a qualitative study in primary care
Authors: Ashby Carrie , Ogden Jane
Published: April 2024

Background

GPs play a key role in the diagnosis and management of eating disorders (EDs).

Aim

To explore GPs’ experiences of managing patients with EDs.

Design & setting

A qualitative study utilising remote semi-structured interviews in the UK.

Method

Fourteen GPs were interviewed about their experiences of supporting patients with EDs. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analysed using thematic analysis.

Results

The analysis described the following four themes: (i) ‘Continuity of care’, addressing the GP's relationship with patients and family, patient transitions across life stages and geographical areas, and patient non-attendance; (ii) ‘The role of guidance’, focusing on guidelines and protocols, referrals and specialist professionals as points of contact; (iii) ‘Structural barriers’, including waiting times, lack of resources, referral criteria, and relationships between services; (iv) ‘Confidence and skills’, reflecting professional and personal experience in EDs, previous training and training needs. Transcending these themes was the notion of the ‘Limits to the care’ GPs can provide owing to professional boundaries and the emotional impact of managing patients with EDs.

Conclusion

This study found that while GPs want to help patients with EDs many limits remain to the care they can provide owing to both internal and external factors. Funding is required for training and accessible specialist ED support, and greater clarity is needed regarding referral processes if ED management in primary care is to be optimised.
MASCULINIDADES E SEXISMO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: o que os meninos perdem com isso?
Authors: Atta Danielle , Voltarelli Monique Aparecida
Published: April 2024

Esse estudo é um recorte de pesquisa de mestrado intitulada “Masculinidades como práticas sociais: perspectiva dos meninos da Educação Infantil” que problematizou as masculinidades e as questões de gênero, por meio da observação de práticas sociais de um grupo de quinze crianças com idade entre quatro e cinco anos de uma turma de primeiro período de instituição de Educação Infantil de Sobradinho, Distrito Federal. A pesquisa observou como perspectivas sobre gênero, valores e normas são passadas e recebidas pelas crianças e quais masculinidades faziam parte da dinâmica da instituição, dos discursos e rotinas. O presente artigo busca apontar práticas produtoras de desigualdades e também visibilizar a forma como os meninos são educados e cuidados e como se cuidam e negociam suas práticas. Esse texto, seguindo a linha da pesquisa, utiliza os aportes teóricos da Sociologia da Infância, dos Estudos de Gênero e dos Estudos das Masculinidades e é uma investigação de caráter descritivo qualitativo realizada através de observação participante, com registros fotográficos, gravação de voz e transcrição de falas. Chegou-se à conclusão que a instituição de Educação Infantil legitima normas de gênero e carrega marcas sexistas que são evidenciadas nas práticas pedagógicas; que os meninos estão ressignificando suas ações; e que o caminho em busca de uma Pedagogia da Escuta - não preconceituosa e transformadora – ainda precisa ser melhor percorrido.
O DISCURSO ANTIGÊNERO E A NOTIFICAÇÃO EXTRAJUDICIAL NAS ESCOLAS
Authors: Gava Thais , Vianna Cláudia Pereira
Published: April 2024

O discurso antigênero mobiliza diversos grupos sociais para a manutenção da ordem vigente, fundamentada em uma moralidade social, política e individual pautada na centralidade da família como núcleo social, na qual homens e mulheres apresentam papéis preestabelecidos e fixos com base na heterossexualidade. No Brasil, esse discurso ganhou corpo nos últimos anos com a utilização da “ideologia de gênero” como retórica para o questionamento e a produção de políticas públicas, particularmente as educacionais. A materialização do discurso antigênero nas escolas deu-se, em grande parte, por meio de denúncias, via notificação extrajudicial, documento que não tem validade jurídica, mas tem valor simbólico utilizado para coerção e ameaça relacionadas ao trabalho com as temáticas de gênero, raça e diversidade sexual. Com base nos resultados de pesquisas realizadas em duas escolas denunciadas, o presente artigo compreende o processo de elaboração das denúncias de gênero como uma biografia capaz de explorar as denúncias de gênero para além da notificação em si mesma, mas como uma disputa pelos sentidos do trabalho realizado na escola. Assim, uma das principais contribuições dessa reflexão é o fato de que as denúncias não propõem, necessariamente, a interrupção da discussão sobre gênero em si, mas a manutenção da visão hegemônica, baseada no binarismo e na ordem essencialista das percepções sobre as diferenças sexuais, com complexas consequências para o ambiente escolar.
Nuvem de palavras sobre a percepção do consumidor por diferentes alimentos de origem animal
Authors: Vieira Daiane Aparecida Freitas , Torres Filho Robledo de Almeida , Silva Vanelle Maria da
Published: April 2024

A Associação de Palavras (AP) é usada na área de alimentos para avaliar percepções, expectativas e anseios do consumidor. Já a Nuvem de Palavras (NP) permite a representação visual hierarquizada da frequência de dados textuais. Contudo, o uso de NP na avaliação dos resultados da AP para alimentos não foi evidenciado. O objetivo desse trabalho foi utilizar NP para avaliar os resultados da AP em pesquisas de mercado com consumidores de produtos de origem animal, comparando as conclusões com aquelas obtidas pelas técnicas convencionais. As NP foram obtidas no site Wordlclouds.com através de bancos de dados de AP de 24 artigos da literatura, contendo categorias (palavras/expressões representando termos similares) e suas frequências (%). Novos bancos de dados foram formados: 36 bancos de dados individuais de cada produto de origem animal e 3 bancos de conjuntos de alimentos (carnes de diferentes espécies, produtos lácteos e produtos de origem animal). As NP foram interpretadas observando as palavras/expressões em destaque, correspondendo às categorias mais citadas. As NP proporcionam um entendimento visual dos resultados da AP com conclusões, geralmente, semelhantes àquelas dos artigos originais, mas facilitando a compreensão das expectativas do consumidor e dos aspectos determinantes para aceitação e compra de produtos de origem animal. As NP dos conjuntos de alimentos proporcionam conclusões coerentes àquelas observadas para cada alimento, tanto nos artigos de AP quanto nas suas NP, ressaltando as principais características. Portanto, a NP é uma técnica interessante para avaliação e apresentação de resultados da metodologia AP.
KONTRIBUSI TEOLOGI PEMBEBASAN BAGI FEMINISME DI ASIA: SEBUAH KAJIAN KRITIS
Authors: Jewadut Jean Loustar , Gara Urbanus , Hironimus Jimmy Yohanes
Published: April 2024

Experiences of oppression, marginalization, and subordination have become a number of particular contexts that gave birth to critical reflections in a number of theologies such as liberation theology and feminist theology. The liberation theology project that was systematically promoted in Latin America in the mid-20th century began with the spread of colonialism, the political-economic hegemony of both national and transnational businessmen, and the massive use of a militaristic approach to various criticisms and resistance of oppressed people. Likewise, Asian feminist theology originates from criticism and resistance to patriarchal domination in the structure of religious, political, economic, cultural, and social life. Of course, these two theologies operate in the same context, namely the experience of oppression and marginalization of a group of people. This article was written using qualitative research methods with a focus on literature studies in the form of books and scientific journal articles according to the themes reviewed. The result of this study shows that liberation theology has contributed to feminist theology and the feminist movement in Asia. By being inspired by the approaches, methods and social analysis developed by liberation theology, the feminist movement in Asia dared to launch a progressive critique of the patriarchal and feudalistic face of the Church. Not only criticizing, feminism in Asia has reached a common movement, namely the establishment of a communion to oppose oppressive structures in shared life.

“The texture of et cetera” — Synchronizing with the Blurry Real in 21st Century Artists’ Novels (Sheila Heti, Ben Lerner, Kate Zambreno)
Authors: Chupin Yannicke
Published: April 2024

Whether it is in the wake of a “Return to the Real” in visual arts” (Foster 1996), of “Reality Hunger” (Shields 2010), a number of novelists of the third millennium have shown an ever growing interest in accommodating the forms of the real into their fictions. For a certain category of novels, the fascination for the real translates into considerable changes brought to the novel’s inherent relation with time. As shown by Peter Boxall, the speed and instantaneity that are specific to our 21st century seems to be counterbalanced in a certain number of novels by an infinite attention to the slow passing moments of our everyday reality (2013, 1–18). This article focuses on three novels that revisit the forms of the Künstlerroman in the 21st century (Ben Lerner, Leaving the Atocha Station, 2011; Sheila Heti, How Should a Person Be? A Novel from Life, 2012; Kate Zambreno, Drifts, 2020) and looks at the strategies used by their narrators to grasp the elusive nature of the transient real while in the process redefining the novel as a site where to explore formal possibilities rather than as a set of generic constraints.
“Missing people never make sense”: Don DeLillo’s Point Omega or, Addressing the Terroristic Real to Oneself
Authors: Daanoune Karim
Published: April 2024

Point Omega, Don DeLillo’s fifteenth novel, is both overtly and covertly about a historical reality, that of the Global War on Terror and some of its tragic consequences, the Iraq War and the Abu Ghraib scandals. Centered on the figure of Richard Elster, a retired architect of the GWOT, the novel enacts a counterterrorist politics of terror thanks to a haunting poetics. Indeed, everything about DeLillo’s opus seems to convey the general atmosphere of counterterrorist terror that characterized the US abroad and that is now surreptitiously and spectrally performed on national ground. Considering that the plot takes place in the US and that the main victims—whether direct for Elster’s daughter Jessie who disappears or, indirect for Elster himself in the face of that loss—are American citizens, I argue that the shadowy implementations of the GWOT have, so to speak, contaminated the US itself due to an autoimmune principle. I examine how DeLillo suggests that the terroristic real returns to the sender and afflicts those it was designed to protect in the first place.
Wargames as Realistic Tabletop Simulations of Fictional Events: The Case of Warhammer Games
Authors: Buthaud Martin
Published: April 2024

For the past twenty years, games studies and research in literacy theory have discussed the connections between games and fiction, and have tried to better grasp how games build fictional worlds and the mechanisms which allow players to be immersed in such universes. In particular, this academic conversation has engaged with the ontology of games, with the objective of understanding what exactly is at stake in games and how fictional elements and real or virtual elements interact in such context. Yet most of these analyses mainly focused on videogames, both due to their recent emergence, and because they could supposedly provide richer and more detailed fictional worlds in which players could interact. In this paper, I instead expand the reflection on the ontology of games by looking at some specific non‑digital games, and more specifically wargames, through the case of the Warhammer games franchise. To do so, I address how exactly such games give players the opportunity to simulate fictional events, or in other words how they allow for a realistic representation of fictional battles depicted by Warhammer novels. To answer this question, I argue that the entanglement between fictional elements, rules, and miniatures in wargames allows players to create a realistic simulation of a military conflict, and that this relation provides a fruitful avenue to consider how fiction and reality can be bridged through games.
La présidence des États‑Unis après le 11 Septembre : l’Empire contre-attaque ?
Authors: Grivet Simon
Published: April 2024

L’article explore la pertinence du concept de présidence impériale forgé par l’historien Arthur Schlesinger Jr. En 1973. Après avoir rappelé la teneur du fameux ouvrage, l’article montre comment la présidence Bush, en réponse aux attentats du 11 Septembre, s’est vu décerner par le Congrès des pouvoirs inouïs pour mener la « guerre à la terreur ». L’opposition aux nombreux excès de pouvoirs perçus, régulièrement dénoncés dans la presse, n’a conduit qu’à des réformes partielles lors des présidences suivantes.
L’onde de choc du 11 Septembre à la télévision étasunienne : genèse et (r)évolutions des séries-terrorisme
Authors: Pichard Alexis
Published: April 2024

Cet article retrace l’histoire des séries-terrorisme (terror series), sous‑genre sériel né après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Empruntant au techno-thriller et au film de guerre, ces séries envahissent très vite les grilles des chaînes américaines et participent activement à propager le cadre herméneutique de la guerre contre le terrorisme établi par le gouvernement Bush. Objets du mass media télévisuel, des séries comme 24 ou Threat Matrix se muent ainsi en importants vecteurs de propagande au nom de l’unanimisme patriotique qui prend corps au soir des attentats. Cependant, au fil des revers et des scandales générés par une guerre au terrorisme conduite dans le mensonge et la dissimulation, les séries-terrorisme font preuve d’une équivocité grandissante dans ce qu’elles montrent et disent, ouvrant des espaces de contestation où sont abordées des questions polémiques comme l’islamophobie, la torture et l’emploi des drones armés, et où est mise en cause l’action des gouvernants. En cela, ces programmes se font à la fois les miroirs de leur époque, mais aussi des présidences durant lesquelles elles sont diffusées.
« Is that man crying or singing? » Faire œuvre d’écoute dans Sand Opera de Philip Metres
Authors: Daanoune Karim
Published: April 2024

Écrite dans la tradition de la poésie documentaire américaine, Sand Opera (2015), œuvre multimodale et plurivocale du poète arabo-américain Philip Metres, tente de rendre compte d’une juxtaposition déroutante : à l’époque où le scandale des prisons d’Abu Ghraib retentissait, Metres et sa femme célébraient la naissance de leur nouvelle fille. Devant la coprésence de ces deux extrêmes, le poète s’interroge sur le caractère éthique de son travail. Comment la poésie peut‑elle redonner voix aux victimes sans esthétiser leur souffrance ? Quel espace le poème peut‑il espérer réserver à l’amour et à l’affection paternels quand le pire a lieu ? Comment accueillir la vie que symbolise le nouveau-né dans un monde dominé par la torture et la mort ? Comment protéger son enfant sans étouffer plus encore les voix des victimes déjà en proie au silence imposé par le terrorisme d’État ? Confronté à une Amérique qui cherche à dissimuler ses exactions, le poète met au jour les mécanismes de censure du gouvernement américain et propose, par l’entremise de sa fille et de l’éthique de l’écoute qu’elle nous somme d’adopter, que nous tendions l’oreille pour écouter la voix et la respiration résilientes des victimes de la « guerre contre la terreur ».
« From Ground Zero to Hero » : renégocier l’image des agents dans les séries télévisées post 11 Septembre
Authors: Lefebvre Manon
Published: April 2024

Cet article étudie les évolutions des représentations d’agents du FBI dans les séries télévisées après le 11 Septembre. Ces transformations font écho aux mutations réelles opérées par l’agence pour regagner la confiance de l’opinion publique et de la classe politique, qui lui reprochaient de ne pas avoir su empêcher les attentats. Ces réformes structurelles ont eu pour effet de donner un rôle prééminent aux analystes, un changement significatif puisqu’ils étaient jusqu’alors considérés comme des agents de second rang. Ces mutations prennent à l’écran la forme de personnages plus développés, partiellement inspirés par la tendance du geek à la télévision en général et dans les sitcoms en particulier. Néanmoins, ces représentations tiennent également du fantasme, en particulier lorsqu’il est question de la diversité des agents : soit les scénaristes idéalisent le FBI, soit ils choisissent délibérément d’intégrer davantage de personnages féminins et de non-blancs afin d’élargir le public visé. Le corpus est principalement constitué de séries sécuritaires (« Terrorism TV », Stacy Takacs), un genre qui existait avant le 11 septembre 2001 mais qui a véritablement commencé à prospérer seulement après cet événement. Ces représentations seront contrastées avec les évolutions réelles de l’ancienne « meilleure agence de maintien de l’ordre au monde » — d’après les auditions de confirmation de son directeur de l’époque, Robert S. Mueller III— devenue agence de renseignement, afin de déterminer dans quelle mesure les séries ont indirectement contribué à lui faire retrouver son prestige d’antan.

We investigated the abundance, structures, energy levels, and spin states of oxygen-related defects in 4H-SiC on the basis of first-principles calculations. We applied a hybrid functional in the overall calculations, which gives reliable defect properties, and also considered relevant defect charge states. We identified the oxygen interstitial (O
i,1), substitutional oxygen (OC), and oxygen-vacancy (OC
V
Si) complex as prominent defects in n-type conditions. Among them, OC
V
Si was predicted as a spin-1 defect with NIR emission in a previous study. On the basis of the obtained results, we discuss the possible spin decoherence sources when employing OC
V
Si as a spin-to-photon interface.

Published: April 2024

Introduction

In response to curbing the spread of SARS-CoV-2, healthcare professionals (HCPs) encounter a multitude of mental stresses. The primary intent was to explore the mental health and well-being experienced by HCPs in Ekiti State, Nigeria, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

Data were analyzed using inductive qualitative methodology. The study was undertaken among HCPs in two teaching hospitals in Ekiti State during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Convenience sampling techniques were employed to select participants for this study. A comprehensive interview ranging from 30 to 50 minutes per participant was administered to a sample of 14 HCPs (doctors and nurses) representing various departments within the hospital. The interviews were conducted between March 2020 and May 2020. COVID-19 stressful situations, the physiological consequences of stress, personality, disposition, stress management techniques, and coping mechanisms were evaluated.

Results

The study outcomes indicate that a significant proportion of HCPs currently face mental well-being. The primary sources of stress identified in this study included heavy workloads and pressure from social media platforms and government agencies. The outbreak crisis significantly influenced on their lives and work, with the fear of catching diseases and their anxiety about spreading infections to their loved ones.

Conclusions

HCPs require a secure working environment during the current circumstances, along with an enhanced support system to alleviate stressors. This study contributes to a significant proportion of HCPs currently facing stress.

MOSFETs have been used in integrated circuits for a long time. These were replaced by FinFET’s in 2011. But for short-channel devices, FinFET’s have low performance due to various effects like velocity saturation, hot carrier effect, drain-induced barrier lowering, channel length modulation, fringing field effect, sub-threshold conduction, threshold voltage roll-off, etc. Gate All Around FET (GAA FET) is the best device that will replace the FinFET’s. Therefore, during the fabrication process, it is crucial to investigate the effects of process variations caused by changes in device dimensions. This research discusses the performance of the proposed device due to process variations. The effect of changes in radius, gate oxide thickness, gate length, and channel doping on GAA FET has been discussed in detail.

Detecting road accidents promptly is crucial for minimizing casualties and property damage worldwide. The proposed system, comprising hardware and a mobile application, automatically identifies and reports accidents to emergency services. It also employs a facial recognition system to detect driver drowsiness, enhancing accident prevention measures. By leveraging sensor technologies, cellular networks, and advanced detection algorithms, the proposed system analyzes data from accelerometers, Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensors. Originally designed for vehicles, it can be easily adapted for deployment in various settings such as factories and construction sites with minor adjustments. The system continuously monitors the driver's facial expressions and activities using sensors. When drowsiness is detected, it activates a buzzer, and in the event of a crash, it alerts the driver to prevent false alarms while simultaneously notifying the rescue center if a genuine crash has occurred. This integrated approach enhances safety and optimizes emergency response efforts. The Arduino microcontroller, equipped with an accelerometer, identifies sudden changes in motion like acceleration and rotation to assess impacts against predefined thresholds. Furthermore, GPS functionality accurately determines the vehicle's location at the time of the accident, while GSM enables seamless communication with rescue centers through notifications.

Real-time monitoring is increasingly complex across various fields, including security, transportation, and business operations, requiring manpower availability around the clock for monitoring and alerting. The system involves delayed alerts in the absence of manpower, potentially leading to uncertainty regarding monitoring status. The proposed system employs real-time monitoring and alerts through updates. Upon system initiation, such as with a webcam utilizing OpenCV and facial recognition libraries, algorithms analyze and process data. Detection of activity within the coverage area triggers immediate alerts to the owner through email or SMS, using the respective contact information provided during system setup. Continuous monitoring provides regular updates on the situation, aiming to enhance security and operational efficiency by promptly notifying owners of unidentified situations or human resource shortages.

Os implantes com superfícies hidrofílicas têm mantido melhor a integridade da superfície em comparação com superfícies hidrofóbicas. Isto sublinha a importância da hidrofilicidade da superfície no aumento da estabilidade do implante durante o período de osseointegração, especialmente em condições ósseas desafiadoras. Apesar dos benefícios associados às superfícies hidrofílicas, é essencial compreender as limitações e os métodos ideais para alcançar e manter a hidrofilicidade da superfície. Este estudo tem como objetivo diferenciar espectroscopicamente as substâncias aquosas utilizadas pela Straumann® e avaliar variações na molhabilidade superficial de implantes Singular® secos antes e após imersão na substância aquosa. Material e Métodos: As amostras de implantes dentários foram divididas em dois grupos: Grupo 1 (n=6) composto por implantes SLActive Straumann®, comercializados em meio aquoso, e Grupo 2 (n=4) composto por implantes Singular® secos. Avaliações de molhabilidade foram realizadas inicialmente, seguidas de imersão dos implantes secos na solução aquosa dos implantes SLActive Straumann®. Após 180 dias, as amostras foram reavaliadas para observar alterações na molhabilidade superficial, a análise foi empregada para analisar a substância aquosa. A análise de molhabilidade foi realizada pela técnica do ângulo de contato. A análise dos dados envolveu tabulação e aplicação do teste de Shapiro Wilk para verificação de normalidade, seguido de testes t pareados para análise de molhabilidade. A análise espectroscópica revelou semelhanças significativas entre as amostras, com picos característicos indicando a presença de moléculas de água. As medidas do ângulo de contato indicaram uma redução estatisticamente significativa após a imersão no meio aquoso, fazendo a transição da superfície de hidrofóbica para hidrofílica. A maioria das amostras analisadas apresentou altas concentrações de água, indicando a presença de água como componente primário. A solução salina mostrou potencial para melhorar a osseointegração, reduzindo os ângulos de contato, sugerindo maior molhabilidade. A classificação da molhabilidade da superfície indicou uma mudança de hidrofóbica para hidrofílica após imersão no meio aquoso, alinhando-se com estudos anteriores em superfícies SLActive. Nosso estudo demonstra que a imersão em meio aquoso altera a molhabilidade da superfície do implante, independentemente do tratamento de superfície.
Towards Learning Excellence in Universities: A Critical Review of Information and Communication Technology Policies in Education in Kenya

Published: April 2024

The current reality is that technological advancement has shaped how learning is being conducted in education. Communication technology has been embraced in education by both educators and learners. However, the embracement has been slow, and this was experienced during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, when teaching and learning had to shift and relied heavily on communication technology, but in actuality educational institutions were not ready. The virus continues to linger on and has served as a wake-up call for the education sector. This therefore makes Information and Communication Technology (ICT) an essential component in education today, not only to be implemented during crises, but also due to technological advancement and stakeholders’ needs in the current times. Governments have made efforts to integrate ICT in education, as is the case in Kenya. This paper reviews the National ICT policy in Kenya since its formulation in 2006 and its revision in 2019. These two policies were national, and education was integrated into the policies. However, in 2021, an additional policy on ICT in education and training was formulated and will also be analysed in this study. The paper analyses the strategies and implementation in higher learning institutions and outlines the barriers and challenges experienced in its implementation. Accessibility and equity have been pinpointed as some of the major factors influencing ICT integration. As higher learning institutions focus on blended or hybrid learning, ICT becomes a fundamental tool to facilitate education. The paper makes recommendations based on the policy inadequacies and how to focus on ICT in education for future meaningful impact.
