Published: March 2022

Amaç: Bu çalışma ebelik öğrencilerinin sosyal medya kullanım amaçları ve sıklıklarının, mesleğe bakış açılarının, sosyal çevreden etkilenme durumlarının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla planlandı.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırmada veriler 19 soruluk “Öğrenci Bilgi Formu” ile online ortamda gönüllü olan 126 ebelik öğrencisi ile yapıldı (N=260). Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatiksel yöntemler kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Ebelik öğrencilerinin çoğunluğu sosyal ağlara akıllı telefonlardan erişiyor (%99.2) ve sosyal medyayı 3 yıl ve üzeri süredir (%84.1), günde 2-3 saatini ayırarak ve genellikle “arkadaşları ile sohbet etmek” amacıyla ve “Whatsapp” hesabını kullanıyordu. Öğrenciler ebelik ile ilgili yapılan sosyal medya eğlencelerinden rahatsızdı ve “toplum yargıları”ndan dolayı mesleğin olumsuz bir imaja sahip olduğunu düşünüyordu. Ebelik öğrencilerinin çoğu sosyal medya kullanımının mesleki örgütlenmeye olumlu etkisi olacağını bildirdi.

Sonuç: Ebelik mesleğinde toplum yargılarının değiştirilmesi, gelecekte iyi bir konuma gelebilmesi ve mesleki örgütlenmenin artması için sosyal medyanın bilinçli kullanımın eğitimle desteklenmesi önerilebilir.

The knowledge of the suspension kinematic points are of main interest for many engineers in order to create complex multi body system (MBS) models of road vehicles for benchmarking or in-depth investigation on the suspension. In many cases, those either are known from OEM construction data or are commonly determined with the help of contact giving multi-axis coordinate measurement machines. Another literature-discussed approach is the indirect determination under usage of Kinematics and Compliance (KnC) measurements. The method presented hereinafter has the advantage of an easy integration in the standard KnC measurement process, reducing both time and costs. As a result, the hard point information obtained will transfer the real suspension to the simulation in the same conditions as on the test rig. This will be advantageous for pursuing investigations in case of special consideration of the position of the vehicle relative to the (virtual) test environment. At the Institute of Automobile Engineering of the TU Dresden, a systematic method for the identification of kinematic point positions (x-, y- and z-values) using a hybrid photogrammetric and optimization approach has been developed. In a first step, the kinematic point positions are approximately determined using a high resulting optical measurement system. The suspension is positioned at the respective wheel deflection, typically because of the vehicles empty weight with or without an additional drivers weight. In a second step, the approximately identified hard points are used as initial values of the subsequent iteration process as to find possible spatial positions of kinematic points in a small range. Therefore, the KnC simulation results from an MBS model in ADAMS/Car are compared to the KnC measurements from the Suspension Motion Simulator (SMS) test rig iteratively. The objective is to minimize the errors between the KnC characteristic curves and the simulation. The iteration is realized with a simulation exchange between ADAMS/Car and MATLAB. For the purpose of validating the developed identification method, the kinematic points have been measured by a coordinate measurement machine directly as well. The differences between identified positions of kinematic points and those gathered from the measurement machine show to be sufficient for the desired modelling of the suspension.
A Real-Time and Calibration-Free Lane Departure Warning System for AUTOSAR-Based ECUs
Authors:   Mentor Graphics, EGYPT, Gamal Islam , Hamed Ahmed ,   Mentor Graphics, EGYPT
Published: March 2022

I. THE PROPOSED ALGORITHM A real-time, calibration-free and AUTOSAR-compliant lane departure warning system algorithm is proposed. First, the region of interest (ROI) is extracted to reduce the outlier lines in the image. Then, pre-processing stage is carried out using Gaussian pyramid to smooth the image and reduce its dimensions, which decrease the unnecessary details in the image. A lane detection stage is then developed based on Edge Drawing Lines (EDLines) algorithm that is a real-time line segment detector, which has false detection control. After that, basic machine learning (ML) concepts are employed in the lane filtering and clustering stage to reject the lines with low probability of being lane boundaries. Based on these lines, an advanced reference-counting algorithm is introduced to track the lanes, between consecutive frames taken by a single front camera, and predict the missing lanes. II. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS According to ISO 17361:2017 standard, the environment conditions required to test LDWS are flat and dry asphalt, lane markings are directly visible by the driver and horizontal visibility range shall be greater than 1 km. The stated conditions in the standard describe an ideal environment, but real life is not ideal. To guarantee that the driver safety is accomplished by our system, the system is tested by a various challenging weather and illumination conditions: clear, cloudy, rainy, day, sunset and night. ISO 17361:2017 standard tests, which are Warning generation in a curve, Repeatability and False alarm, are also performed on the proposed system successfully. The proposed system achieves detection rate of 99.41%, departure rate of 100% and average processing time of 100 milliseconds milliseconds on ECU with TC397 microcontroller up to 300 MHz and 6.9 MB RAM. CONCLUSIONS Calibration phase consumes a lot of time and effort for getting its knowledge, configuring calibration modules and performing the calibration itself to the system parameters. In addition, calibration process costs a lot of money for buying both calibration tools and AUTOSAR XCP calibration module.
In this paper, a new reliable and robust algorithm to implement an LDWS that is AUTOSAR-compliant and do not require calibration, as it does not have parameters that need to be tuned and adjusted to make the system work properly, is introduced. Hence, the proposed system saves time, effort and money required by calibration process. Moreover, it is efficient to be used in the self-driving systems in the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) cars that are composed of either AUTOSAR-based or non-AUTOSAR-based ECUs

"The future trends of the automotive industry include a higher usage of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), and the revolution regarding autonomous vehicles. That means an increase of the volume of data necessary for all these systems to work together. Due to the communication necessities of these systems, automotive ethernet has been primarily used in all vehicles. This technology adapts the common ethernet so the requirements of the automotive industry can be met. The automotive ethernet uses a physical layer standard, which is the BroadR-Reach. This technology gives the possibility for multiple systems in the same vehicle to simultaneously communicate and access information. Automated test equipment using BroadR-Reach protocol are scarce in the market, and do not have the ability for parallel tests for multiple devices, specially when the purpose is to perform network communication tests. To overcome this obstacle, multiple network converters would need to exist on the testing system, increasing its wiring complexity. To overcome these problems, Controlar has developed BRidge4Net, an innovative product which consists in a device with multiple network converters from common ethernet to BroadR-Reach. In this way, this device can be used in different testing stations (Burn-In, End of Line, In-Circuit Test, …), where multiple equipment using the BroadR-Reach protocol can be simultaneously tested. The BRidge4Net system is the first converter of 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-T1 existing on the market that enables the simultaneous test of multiple devices using BroadR-Reach protocol. This product reduced the necessary wiring for this task, while reducing the test system complexity and the possibility of errors in the diagnosis. BRidge4Net has four converters in only one Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and can be combined in a modular solution with the maximum capacity of 60 converters distributed in 15 PCBs. BRidge4Net has been validated for a Full-Duplex transmission with a speed of 100 Mbit/s. The upgraded BRidge4Net version for the 1 Gbit/s transmission is currently under development. It also features communication with the PHYs to enable internal diagnosis on the link status and quality. This product has been launched in the 2nd trimester of 2019 by Controlar, having been integrated in several projects developed in the company, showing great results in real industrial environment."

Modern foreign and domestic scientific literature has extensive information on the creation of a diesel engine with heat-insulated parts. Most of these studies are devoted to the development of technology for obtaining heat-insulating composite materials, methods for modeling thermal processes in internal combustion engines and reducing fuel consumption. Solving the problem of a diesel engine by reducing unproductive costs of thermal energy in the thermodynamic cycle and improving the performance of a diesel engine with heat-insulated parts based on the organization of the working process at high wall temperatures has not been sufficiently studied to date, which led to the choice of the topic of this study. In the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan (No. PP-4422 dated 22 August 2019) – “On Accelerated Measures to Improve Energy Efficiency in Economic and Social Sectors, the Introduction of Energy-Saving Technologies and the Development of Renewable Energy Sources”, The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh.M. Mirziyoyev noted that in order to comprehensively organize work to improve energy efficiency, widely introduce energy-saving technologies and renewable energy sources, radically reduce the energy intensity of economic and social sectors by involving available resources and untapped potential, taking into account advanced foreign experience, and also ensuring the rational and efficient use of fuel and energy resources.

Authors:   Department of History and African Civilisations,Faculty of Arts, University of Buea, Cameroon, Yinyuy, Ph.D Happiness
Published: March 2022

This paper examines the challenges or difficulties faced by the Christian Women Fellowship (CWF) Movement of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC) in Nso, Bui Division of the North West Region of Cameroon. From its inception, the movement faced a lot of challenges in the Nso area in its evangelization drives although several successes were registered. The CWF has been actively involved in spiritual and socio-economic activities which have affected more positively the lives of women in particular and the entire community in general. The spiritual activities helped to strengthen its members in their Christian faith and the socio-economic lessons also empowered the women to become self-reliant. To carry out this work we use data collected from both the primary and secondary sources. Primary data were mostly collected from archival material and oral interviews conducted with some CWF officials and CWF members alike in the Bui Presbytery. Those interviewed were mostly between the ages of 40 and 80. This choice was dictated by the desire for reliability as most of them lived and experienced some of these challenges personally. Secondary data were collected from documented sources obtained through the use of books. The necessity for interviews was created by the lacunae exposed by archival material and secondary sources. It was realized that despite the successes registered, this group faced challenges such as poor road infrastructure, financial difficulty, cultural constraints, administrative bottlenecks and misconduct of some of its members.
A Universidade Federal de Viçosa e a lei do boi (1968-1985): política de acesso ou política de exclusão?
Authors:   , Carvalho Thaís Carneiro
Published: March 2022

Tendo em vista o contexto do Regime Civil-Militar (1964-1985) e as políticas públicas voltadas para o campo educacional implementadas durante o referido período histórico, esta pesquisa visa inserir a discussão sobre as políticas públicas voltadas para o ensino superior brasileiro, com enfoque sobre a Lei Federal nº 5.465, de 1968, no campo de pesquisa sobre a História da Educação, especialmente sobre a história da Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV). A lei, vulgarmente denominada como ‘Lei do boi’, previa a reserva de vagas nos estabelecimentos de ensino agrícola pertencentes à União, estabelecendo a destinação de 50% (cinquenta por cento) das vagas, dos cursos de agronomia e medicina veterinária, para os filhos de agricultores, proprietários ou não de terras, que residissem com suas famílias na zona rural e 30% (trinta por cento) para candidatos filhos de agricultores, proprietários ou não de terras, que residissem em cidades ou vilas que não possuíssem estabelecimentos de ensino médio. Partimos das seguintes questões: como se deu a implantação da Lei Federal nº 5.465/1968 na UFV? Quem foram os seus beneficiários? O objetivo desta investigação consistiu em verificar a efetividade de tal lei na UFV enquanto instrumento de ampliação do acesso dos jovens filhos de pequenos proprietários rurais ou de trabalhadores rurais ao ensino superior, no momento em que a sociedade e, em especial, o movimento estudantil, demandavam mais vagas para o ensino superior. Para tal, recorreremos ao Registro Escolar da instituição para identificar o perfil socioeconômico dos ingressantes via ‘lei do boi’, através da análise dos documentos apresentados pelos mesmos no ato da matrícula. Por fim, identificamos como perfil, estudantes vinculados a propriedades médias e grandes, vindos das regiões Nordeste, Centro-Oeste, Sul, mas principalmente Sudeste. Concluímos que nossos dados sugerem a prevalência de jovens filhos de grandes proprietários rurais dentre os que tiveram o acesso ao Ensino Superior facilitado pela Lei do Boi. A maioria desses jovens era proveniente do sudeste brasileiro e vinculados à propriedades de médio ou grande porte. Os dados indicam ainda a coerência da efetivação da referida Lei com a então política nacional de formação de técnicos agrícolas de nível superior. Palavras-chave: Lei Federal nº 5.465/1968.

Authors:   , Amâncio Dayse Leticia Pereira
Published: March 2022

O presente estudo busca compreender como servidores técnico-administrativos com deficiência percebem a qualidade de vida no trabalho (QVT) no campus sede de uma instituição de ensino superior, e como esta poderia promover melhorias na QVT destes servidores. Para tanto, partiu-se de uma abordagem qualitativa com cunho descritivo e baseada em dados primários, coletados e produzidos por meio da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com representantes do setor de pessoal da instituição e com servidores com deficiência. Posteriormente, os relatos dos participantes da pesquisa foram explorados utilizando a análise de conteúdo e contando com o suporte do modelo teórico de Walton (1973). A partir dos resultados, depreendeu-se que os entrevistados percebem uma evolução no processo de inclusão da universidade, manifestam orgulho em compor seu quadro de pessoal e consideram relevante o serviço por ela prestado, além de avaliarem positivamente o equilíbrio propiciado entre a vida laboral e extralaboral desses servidores. Nada obstante, ainda se fazem necessárias ações para que os servidores com deficiência percebam níveis ainda maiores de QVT, principalmente nos procedimentos relacionados ao ingresso e ambientação, à acessibilidade dos espaços físicos e à própria construção de carreira de pessoas com deficiência (PcD). Dessa forma, as análises viabilizaram diversas recomendações, a exemplo de: promoção de capacitação para profissionais de gestão de pessoas e para chefias e equipes de trabalho das PcD; realização de campanhas informativas e de conscientização/sensibilização sobre deficiência; criação de uma comissão multiprofissional que trabalhe questões voltadas à deficiência e ofereça suporte às PcD que integram o quadro de servidores da universidade; realização de estudos para definir a (re)alocação desses servidores; elaboração de um planejamento para acessibilidade que atenda às necessidades desse grupo a curto, médio e longo prazo; e investimento para que o programa de QVT para servidores promova maior inclusão das PcD, sendo, também, melhor divulgado e continuamente avaliado.

MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCING OF EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
Authors:   Faculty of Finance, Banking and Auditing, Alfa BK University, Belgrade, Serbia, Madzar Lidija
Published: March 2022

Knowledge is one of the key factors of economic growth, as well as of sources of competitiveness in the global marketplace. Educational policy directly shapes and creates human capital that is the backbone of the future development of each country. Therefore, there is a need for planning, good design and comprehensive financing this important social field. The purpose of this article is to determine the trends of public expenditures on education in the Republic of Serbia (RS), as well as their impact on the development of Serbian society. The article first provides a detailed analysis of the higher education system in Serbia, monitoring the trends in the share of education expenditures in gross domestic product (GDP) and total public expenditures in the country. The paper applies the desk research methodology as it analysis the professional literature, articles, relevant reports and databases of leading international institutions such as the European Union, OECD, Statistical Office of RS, UNESCO, World Bank, UNDP and Eurostat. The article studies the evolution, values and Human Development Index (HDI) ranks of Serbia, Gross Expenditure on Research and Development (GERD) in the Serbian higher education sector, as well as their correlations with Serbian public expenditures for education, in the period from 2009 to 2019. The article also applies linear regression analysis between the observed variables. Finally, it concludes that public expenditures on education could not contribute to social development in Serbia due to the small regression coefficients and weak correlations among these indicators. Therefore, Serbia should invest continuously and more intensively in its higher education if it wants to prosper. This article is useful for policy makers, but also for a wider readership who want to be acquainted with the education and social development trends in Serbia.

The article aims to study the mechanisms underlying the development of research and development (R&D) through investment in renewable energies and in ICTs before and after the Covid19 pandemic. First, we perform a dynamic panel regression through panel data from 2000 to 2019 for 14 Asian countries. In addition to economic and environmental determinants, the empirical study reveals that variables linked to intellectual property are the drivers of R&D investment in the Asian region. It is interesting to note that while brand requests stimulate R&D, industrial applications hamper this type of investment. Second, we provide an OLS regression of 38 Asian countries to analyze the effect of Covid-19 on research and development. Our empirical results encourage governments to invest more in renewable energies not only to reduce the greenhouse effect, but also to increase investment in R&D. In addition, policymakers are urged to apply more incentives to expand the export of ICT in both services and products.

Increasing the use of natural resources can improve the country’s wealth, but it has adverse effects caused by improper usage, and it is non-renewable. The depletion of natural resources is a global environmental issue that threatens the livelihoods of billions of people. Moreover, not all resource-rich countries are highly developed. Mongolia is one of the natural resources-rich countries in the world. The agricultural sector is Mongolia’s traditional economic sector, and it still plays an essential role in the country’s economy. This paper investigated the interrelation between the agriculture and the mining sectors and their impact on Mongolia’s economic growth. A multiple-stage regression model was used to analyse the selected variables’ time series data over 20 years of Mongolia. In addition to the model’s sectoral data per capita wealth, other control variables are added to explain economic convergences, human capital impact, and government size. Result proves that the mining sector has a substantial impact on the economic growth of Mongolia. However, agricultural sector growth does not depend on the mining sector. The high dependency from one sector, particularly the extractive sector, warns against the sustainable development of the country’s economy. Therefore, it is essential to support agriculture and other secondary sectors based on renewable natural resources and agriculture.

Internationalization is often considered a strategic option for SMEs, but a large part of small firms’ contribution to internationalization is not reflected in statistics, as many of them participate indirectly in the global economy as suppliers of exporting firms. The export-oriented model of SMEs seems to follow the general strategic choices, most SMEs do not export at all, and most exporting SMEs are regular companies. The literature mentions a number of characteristics that distinguish companies that are likely to export such as group membership, consistent expertise, size, rapid growth and innovation orientation, production experience or collaborations in production and distribution. At the European Union level, the recognition of the role of internationalization in increasing the performance of SMEs and the performance of the economy as a whole is complemented by extensive support measures, which prove both their direct role (volume of exports and imports, degree of international cooperation, profitability, turnover, competitiveness) but also their indirect role, to train young companies, dynamic in the world economic circuit.
THE AESTHETIC NATURE OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND GREENWASHING
Authors:   University of Debrecen, Geza Marton Doctoral School of Legal Studies, Debrecen, Hungary, Bakerjian Leen
Published: March 2022

This article argues that the governance, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the communications and environmental practices done in the name of it should all recognize that the corporation is an aesthetic phenomenon. Through logos, trademarks, websites and product advertisement CSR practices are being aesthetically projected. In turn, this misleads and influences the consumer about the corporation’s environmental performance and compliance with CSR regulations. As a result, the article argues that the aesthetic nature of a corporation must be taken into consideration when punishing dishonest corporate behavior through governance methods. The illusion a corporation can create in claiming it is “green”, can create difficulties for regulations, therefore, tackling the wrongful and misleading statements about a corporation’s products can be more beneficial than focusing on the broader aesthetic of a corporation. Social and environmental activists play a subversive role in the equation which can help with unveiling the green mask. Though history has shown that these narratives can play a limited role in re-establishment, lawful regulation can assist these narratives in forming a more rigid practice when it comes to CSR and greenwashing.

Appropriate planting density is necessary to achieve high crop productivity. Hence, this study aimed to determine the optimum planting density and assess the profitability per hectare of NSIC's newly recommended sweetpotato variety. The treatments were as follows: T 1.0 m x 0.50 m at two cuttings per hill, T-1.0 m x 0.25 12 m at one cutting per hill, T- 1.0 m x 0.25 m at two cuttings per hill, T-1.0m x 0.30m at 3 4 one cutting per hill, and T-1.0 m x 0.30 m at two cuttings per hill. The experiment 5 was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed that sweetpotato planted at wider spacing of 1.0 m x 0.50 m at two cuttings per hill produced more primary lateral vines (7.13), bigger leaf area -1 index (4.29), fresh herbage weight (21.22 tha ), and highest weight (g) of marketable roots per hill. On the other hand, planting density of 1.0 m x 0.25 m at one and two cuttings per hill obtained the highest weight of total root yield at 13.43 t ha -1 -1 and 14.04 t ha respectively. Likewise, sweetpotato grown in 1.0 m x 0.25 m at one -1 cutting per hill obtained the highest gross margin of PhP160,240.00 ha due to higher root yield and less cost of planting materials. This was followed by plants planted in 1.0 m x 0.25 m at two cuttings per hill with PhP159,702.00 ha .

Climate change is the major issue affecting the survival of human kind in the present day scenario. Farmers are the most vulnerable communities to these changes. Many climate smart technologies were devised and tried to promote through traditional extension system. But their adoption rate is very poor doe to multiple socio-economic and technological factors. Therefore focus extension approach were thought of and concept of climate smart village was introduced to promote climate smart technologies. But the past efforts on establishing climate smart villages were revolved around only on technological dimension ignoring socio-economic dimension of climate change. Hence, the present study conceptualizes the climate smart village integrating technological as well as social factors. The concept has been experimented during 2016-2021 at field level in the village Singimari, Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal in convergence mode with other related stakeholders line Krishi vigyan Kendra (KVK), state agricultural department, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), NGOs and farming communities. The findings revealed that adoption level of climate smart technologies and practices has increased significantly after establishment of climate smart village. Therefore, more number of climate smart villages should be established specially in vulnerable ecosystem for better adaptation to climate change.
