Performance Evaluation of Commercially Available Venturies under Varying Inlet and Outlet Pressure Differentials
Authors: T.B.S. Rajput  , Neelam Patel  , Mukesh Kumar
Published: May 2024

The injection rate of a venturi depends upon its size and the difference between its upstream and downstream pressures. The performance of four commercially available venturies was evaluated under varying inlet and outlet pressure differentials. The injection rate was measured under the range of operating pressures from 1.0 to 2.0 kg/cm using normal irrigation water. Injection efficiencies of the venturies varied between 65 and 95 %. Maximum injection rate of one of the venturies was 108.2 Lph at the operating pressure of 2.0 kg/cm Decrease in upstream pressure or increase in down stream pressure decreased the injection rate, which was directly proportional to the venturi inlet and outlet pressure differential. No definite relation was, however, found between the injection rate and injection efficiency of the venturies.

Stochastic intervention control of mean-field jump system with noisy observation via L-derivatives with application to finance
Authors: Korichi Fatiha , Boukaf Samira , Hafayed Mokhtar
Published: May 2024

In this paper, we investigate stochastic optimal intervention control of mean-field nonlinear random Poisson-jump-system with related noisy process. We derive the necessary conditions of optimality for partially observed optimal intervention control problems of mean-field type. The coefficients depend on the state of the solution process as well as of its probability distribution and the control variable. The proof of our main result is obtained by applying L-derivatives in the sense of Lions. In our control model, there are two models of jumps for the state process, the inaccessible ones which come from the random Poission process and the predictable ones which come from the intervention control. Finally, we apply our result to study conditional mean-variance portfolio selection problem with interventions, where the foreign exchange interventions are intended to contain excessive fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and to stabilize them.

Authors: Reddy Yarala Manikanth , Gummadi Sowjanya
Published: May 2024

This study presents a novel, sensitive and highly reliable liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methodology for the determination of N-Nitroso Safinamide, a genotoxic impurity in Safinamide mesylate. The optimized chromatographic conditions utilized Poroshell HPH-C18 (150 x 4.6 mm, 2.7 µm) and Ghost Buster columns with a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min and a column temperature of 40 °C. The mobile phase consisted of formic acid and methanol. Mass spectrophotometric analysis employed the Agilent Jet Stream Electrospray Ionization (AJS ESI) mode with a capillary voltage of 3500 V and a nitrogen gas flow rate of 12 L/min at 350 °C, while Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mode was used for scanning. Rigorous validation demonstrated the method's reliability and robustness. Linearity experiments showed a strong correlation coefficient of 0.999 between analyte concentration and peak area response. The method exhibited low limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 0.00593 ppm and 0.01797 ppm, respectively, enabling accurate detection and quantification of N-Nitroso Safinamide at low concentrations. Precision studies demonstrated good repeatability and reproducibility, with % RSD values falling within acceptable limits. Specificity evaluations confirmed the absence of interferences in blank, standard, sample, and spiked sample solutions. The method's accuracy was established through satisfactory recovery values, ranging between 70 % and 130 % in spiked samples. The developed LC-MS/MS methodology offers a highly reliable and precise approach for quantifying N-Nitroso Safinamide in Safinamide mesylate.
The Effect of Data Quality on Decision-Making. A Quasi Experimental Study
Authors: Alabduljabbar Afnan
Published: May 2024

The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between data quality dimensions (completeness and timeliness) and decision-making efficiency. The researcher adopted the quasi-experimental approach to answer the research questions and hypotheses. The study participants consist of 60 subjects, distributed into 2 groups. The first group consisted of 20 sales executives from Saudi beverage manufacturing companies. The other group had 40 participants from Al-Imam university. The study experiment consisted of 4 scenarios, two for each dimension, that give the participants scenarios and ask them to make the best decision based on these data. The scenarios were applied through face-to-face meeting and time to take decisions was recorded by participants. For the first data quality dimension, completeness of data, both groups got scenarios where complete and incomplete data were offered, and they were asked to choose the best available option based on the offered data. For the second dimension, the groups were offered up-to-date data and obsolete data and were asked to choose the best decisions based on the scenarios. The results were analyzed for correlations to check If there is a correlation between the responses of the two groups. The study found strong evidence for a correlational relationship between data quality dimensions and decision-making efficiency at 0.05 and 0.01 significance level for the student and employee groups respectively. The study found that high-quality data leads to both better and faster decisions in both groups. There were no significant differences between occupation, or gender and time taken for making a decision. The current study highlights the importance of data quality dimensions. It urges organizations to use up-to-date data, and complete data sets to base their decisions.

Authors: Than Lee Lee
Published: May 2024

Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) is a revolutionary technology for the surgeons, doctors and physicians. Although RAS deployment is rapid since 2019, despite decades of successful robotic assisted surgeries in the developed economies that have positively impacted millions of patients, RAS was barely explored by the developing countries compared to the developed countries whereby capabilities to enhance and improve the levels of expertise is limited besides acquisition and operating costs. This paper aims to raise awareness and compare what is the future of RAS in selected developing countries given its multitude of needs and challenges? Is RAS still in early days and too expensive to be put to general use in these developing economies today? We applied indicators to test the adoption of RAS using the economic consideration of robotic surgery in health economics. We examine the likelihood of acquiring and using RAS with different market characteristics from 2000 to 2022. We used data on traditional and robot-assisted surgical interventions and transform it into an improved version on Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY) and Willingness-to-Pay for Robot-Assisted Surgery (WTPR). Asia growth was spectacular. China’s participation resulted in closing the gap much faster in advanced medical technology and treatment such as RAS between developing and developed economies beside knowledge diffusion. South Koreans had catch up with the Europeans i.e., Italy, Germany, France and UK. China’s total patents had explosive growth and the robot density was among the highest among the selected economies compared in this study.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this study is to develope a scale to evaluate the performance of occupational health and safety practices in schools. The form created for this purpose was presented to experts and the content validity rates of the items were determined in line with the feedback received. The items with a content validity ratio below .80 were excluded from the study. The 49-item trial form was applied via e-mail to 990 teachers working at primary, secondary, and high school levels in public and private schools in İstanbul, affiliated with the Ministry of National Education, and the data obtained were analyzed. With exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), a two-dimensional structure consisting of 40 items in total revealed "Occupational Health and Safety Training Practices Applied in Schools" and "Occupational Health and Safety Practices Applied in Schools, Managerial Precautions and Precautions". It was determined that the goodness of-fit indices of the model were quite high. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) also confirmed the EFA results. The obtained correlation coefficients were examined. Item-total score correlation coefficients were between r = .878 and r = .650, and a significant relationship was observed at the p < .01 level. The internal consistency coefficient obtained for the entire scale was .92. There was a significant (p< 0.05) difference between the items and the total score between the 27% lower and 27% upper groups. It was determined that this difference was in favor of the upper 27% group. There was high reliability in the items on the scale, and the items were distinguishable on the basis of the characteristics the scorers of the scale were looking for.

Feature selection (FS) is a pre-processing technique for data dimensionality reduction in machine learning and data mining algorithms. FS technique reduces the number of features and improves the model generalization ability. This study presents a Gradient Search-based Binary Runge Kutta Optimizer (GBRUN) for solving the FS problem of high-dimensional. First, the proposed method converts the continuous Runge Kutta optimizer (RUN) into a binary version through S-, V-, and U-shaped transfer functions. Second, a gradient search method is introduced to improve the exploration capability of the algorithm. Five standard datasets provided by Arizona State University’s Data Mining and Machine Learning Lab were selected to verify the performance of the GBRUN algorithm. The experimental results show that GBRUN has better performance than other advanced algorithms regarding classification accuracy and the number of selected features. Moreover, the GBRUN algorithm is also combined with EfficientNet in this manuscript, using the GBRUN algorithm to select the features extracted by EfficientNet. The results show that the V-shaped (GBRUN-V) and U-shaped (GBRUN-U) algorithms have better performance than other algorithms.

Published: May 2024

Privacy preservation is a significant concern in our data-driven society, both in the social and political spheres. These concerns are amplified by the continuous emergence of technologies and services, expanding the boundaries of what is possible in our modern era. Technologies, such as audio-video surveillance, play an essential role in security and law enforcement but can potentially lead to privacy breaches. One of the approaches for privacy preservation in still images and video is de-identification which involves replacing or concealing personal identifiers to prevent unauthorized, unintended use or disclosure of personal information. This paper comprehensively reviews privacy and security issues in closed-circuit television (CCTV) data streams, representative state-of-the-art de-identification techniques for privacy protection. We also present a service scenario in which a MEC-enabled distributed system is used for CCTV footage de-identification and re-identification for individuals’ privacy protection. Finally, we highlight open research challenges and future directions for privacy protection in CCTV footage.

Published: May 2024

La siguiente investigación es una propuesta teórica de análisis sobre la relación entre el concepto de desequilibrio ocupacional y la implementación de medidas socio sanitarias en Chile durante la pandemia de COVID-19. El equilibrio ocupacional es una experiencia personal influenciada por las características de la persona, sus ocupaciones y el contexto. El concepto de desequilibrio ocupacional tiene sus propias bases teóricas basadas en la superación de esta percepción o del sometimiento frente a la misma. Para este estudio se propone una metodología de investigación cualitativa desde un paradigma crítico y diseño fenomenológico, que busque la raíz de las problemáticas ocupacionales a partir de la comprensión de injusticias sociales frente a la pandemia y de inequidades sociales al implementar las medidas sociosanitarias en Chile.

Monsoon Marketplace
Authors: Gonzaga Elmo
Published: May 2024

Monsoon Marketplace uncovers the entangled vernacular cultures of capitalist modernity, mass consumption, and media spectatorship in two understudied postcolonial Asian cities across three important historical moments. Juxtaposing Manila and Singapore, it analyzes print and audiovisual representations of popular commercial and leisure spaces including night markets, amusement parks, main streets and high streets, department stores, supermarkets, bungalows, coffee shops, movie theaters, and shopping malls during colonial occupation in the 1930s, national development in the 1960s, and neoliberal globalization in the 2000s. Instead of treating capitalism, media, and modernity as overarching systems or processes, it examines how their configurations and experiences are contingent, variable, pluralistic, and archipelagic. In these disparate sites, modernity is revealed to unfold as divergent, overlapping forms of air-conditioned, sanitary modernity, languid modernity, and delinquent, fugitive modernity. Departing from critical theories and cultural studies that see consumerism and spectatorship as sources of alienation, docility, and fantasy, the book explores how they create new possibilities for agency, collectivity, and resistance.

The chapter focuses on a speech by the Turkish President Erdoğan, a letter by the Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan, a wedding, and a funeral to highlight the different understandings of peace that the Turkish state and the Kurdish Movement promote and how women figure into these understandings. It argues that for the Turkish state the future that is envisioned for Kurdish women is either death or a complete alliance with patriarchy through marriage. Hence, the figure of the public mother, woman politician, and woman guerilla must be transformed into corpses and corpse images.
Introduction
Authors: Van Horn O'neil
Published: May 2024

The introduction of On the Ground unearths the central queries motivating this project: What precisely is it that grounds human experience amid the foundation-shaking cataclysm that is climate change? What conceptual shifts are needed to respond meaningfully to this catastrophe without eliding the critical differences of bioregions and cultures? And what might the earth-ground—that is, soil—have to offer as a conceptual symbol and material metaphor for justice-seeking responses in the Anthropocene? The introduction argues for the vital need to conceptualize an earthy ground amid the groundlessness of post-truth relativisms, the extractive destruction caused by capitalistic enterprises, and the likes.
Playing en los Márgenes
Authors: Nanko-Fernández Carmen M.
Published: May 2024

Chapter 5 concludes The Word Became Culture . This chapter retrieves and theologically explores latinamente las Cantigas de Santa María, a thirteenth-century manuscript of poems of Marian devotion that includes the earliest portrayal of a bat and ball game in the Iberian Peninsula. Carmen Nanko- Fernández breaks new theological ground in her option for culture as she “plays” theologically on the margins, and thereby, bridges sport and Catholic theology. Her constructive theological interpretation of Cantiga 42 explores not only the good life that sport may foster, but more important, the interrelationship and fluidity that characterizes lo popular at the intersections of popular Catholicism and popular culture. “Playing” within and outside the fields that shape our daily Latin@́ living (lo cotidiano) offers ancient roots and sources too often neglected in contemporary constructive theologies.
From the Amazon to the Tiber
Authors: Ruiz Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2024

This chapter begins with a discussion of the well-publicized incident at the beginning of the 2019 Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazonian region when wooden images that had been used in the ceremony consecrating the Synod to Saint Francis of Assisi were thrown into the Tiber. The chapter maps the implications of a theology of revelation that take the particularity of the Incarnation seriously not only as a singular and defining christological event but in terms not unlike those articulated by Fray Luis de León centuries earlier. As Pope Francis insisted in Querida Amazonia, “For the Church to achieve a renewed inculturation of the Gospel in the Amazon region, she needs to listen to its ancestral wisdom, listen once more to the voice of its elders, recognize the values present in the way of life of the original communities, and recover the rich stories of its peoples” (Querida Amazonia 70).

Research on problems and countermeasures in the construction of new rural communities
Authors: Wu Sha , Qiu Zhujun
Published: May 2024

The establishment of new rural communities is a major measure for solving the “three rural issues” and promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas throughout the country. Compared with the management of traditional rural communities, the management of new rural communities has significant features, but there are also many difficulties that have not existed in the past. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the deepening of rural grass-roots reforms, corresponding social conditions have been created to promote the transformation of the management mode of villages, and many local governments are also searching for scientific and feasible development modes that are in line with the actual situation of the new rural communities, in order to promote the sustainable development of the new rural construction. In this process, some urgent problems also greatly affect the construction of new rural communities, and need to be corrected in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of the construction of new rural communities.

In the realm of finance, stock trading stands out as one of the most significant activities. Predicting stock prices involves analyzing available market data to forecast the future value of a particular stock or share. In our research, we developed a machine learning model along with LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) to predict stock prices. Our model follows the 70:30 principle, allowing the model to improve its accuracy over time. We collected a decade's worth of data from Yahoo Finance and employed customized feature engineering and deep learning techniques to analyze the stock market trends. Our approach has shown promising accuracy in predicting stock market trends. By carefully optimizing prediction term lengths, feature engineering methods, and data preprocessing techniques, our work contributes to advancing research in both financial analysis and technical modeling within the stock market domain. Keywords— LSTM, Machine learning, RNN, Data Prediction, finance, linear regression.
