Liberalization of Textiles and Clothing Trade and Evolving Global and Indian Trade Scenario
Authors: Agrawal Aditi , Gandhi Archana
Published: January 2023

Before the liberalization of Textiles and Clothing trade, export from developing countries to developed countries was subject to selective quantitative restrictions to protect the industry of the importing country. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade over a period of 47 years facilitated world trade with a view to bind tariffs and foster liberalization. But as world trade grew complex the General Agreement was found wanting and the Multifibre Arrangement was drafted to carry forward liberalization of textiles and clothing trade more effectively. In 1994 the Multifibre Arrangement gave way to the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, a ten year liberalization process that was undertaken to remove the existing quota in stages. This liberalization of trade altered the level of employment in regions where the textile and clothing industries were important. While certain regions lost, others gained in this arena.This liberalization reshaped trade across the globe in the global textiles and clothing markets. As a leading participant in this trade, India too was directly affected by these policy changes.

Published: January 2023

The methods for improving first law and second law efficiency have been considered in this paper by using water as secondary coolent in evaporator with nano particles such als Al2O3 and TiO2 mixed R718 refrigerant is investigated in this paper. Detailed energy and exergy analysis of multi-evaporators at different temperatures in the vapour compression refrigeration systems have been done in terms of performance parameter for R507a, R125, R134a, R290, R600, R600a, R410a, R407c, R404a and R152a refrigerants. The numerical computations have been carried out for both systems. The use of nano particles improves the first law and second law performance significantly. The best performance is found using R152a and worst performance is observed using R410a. Due to flammable nature of R290, R600, R600a and R152a
The results were compared by using water in secondary circuit with nano refrigerants and without nano particles used and it was found that use of nano particles improves thermal performances.
The first law performance improvement in terms of COP and second law performance in terms of exergetic efficiency (rational efficiency) using TiO2 is better than using Al2O3 with R718 refrigerant in the secondary evaporator circuit.
Flexible Image Similarity Region Calculation with SRHM Using PMD (Pixel Mismatch Detection)
Authors: Jerry S. Paul , Usha N. S.
Published: January 2023

Spatial region hybrid matching (SRHM) is mainly used for comparing or computing the similarity of the both images in the computer vision and in the image processing also. By comparing the two images, SRHM implicitly assumes that: in the two images from the same Image category. Similar objects will appear in the same location. In the technique of Hybrid Spatial Matching (HSM) is well flexible similarity of the image by computing method to alleviate the problem of mismatching in SRHM. And the mismatching problem will be detected easily by HSM and the process is very faster for comparing of both images. In addition to that, the spatial matches between the corresponding regions, SRHM considers the relationship of the all spatial pairs in the both images. It will include more meaningful match than HSM. The technique propose two learning strategies for the learning of SVM models in the new technique of HSM Kernel in image, which are thousands of time faster than the general purpose method of SVM and also this technique is effective. The technique is used to compute the Hybrid Spatial Matching and Spatial Region Hybrid Matching on several challenging benchmarks and the technique is clearly shows that SRHM is more flexible and efficient than HSM by the way of computing each and every pixels of both images.
Enhanced K-Means++ Clustering For Big Data with Mapreduce
Authors: Natarajan B. , Chellammal P.
Published: January 2023

Clustering big data using data mining algorithms is a modern approach, used in various science and medical fields. k-means clustering algorithm is a good approach for clustering, but choosing initial centers and provides less accuracy guarantees. The enhanced k-means approach called 𝑘-means++ chooses one center uniformly at random provides better functionality, but fails to handle data of larger volume in distributed environment. The mapreduce 𝑘-means++ method handles k-means++ algorithm by enhancing it in mapper and reducer phases, also reduces the no of iterations required to obtain 𝑘 centers. in which the 𝑘-means++ initialization algorithm is executed in the mapper phase and the weighted 𝑘-means++ initialization algorithm is run in the reducer phase. it reduces huge amount of communication and i/o costs. the proposed mapreduce 𝑘-means++ method obtains (𝛼2) approximation to the optimal solution of 𝑘-means.

Authors: Patel Jay Prakash , Kapoor Mansi
Published: January 2023

This paper explains an investigation into the potential for remote controlled operation of home automation systems. It considers problems with their implementation, discusses possible solutions through various network technologies and indicates how to optimize the use of such systems. The home is an eternal, heterogeneous, distributed computing environment which certainly requires a careful study before developing any suitable Home Automation System that will accomplish its requirements. Nevertheless the latest attempts at introducing Home Automation Systems in actual homes for all kinds of users are starting to be successful thanks to the continuous standardization process that is lowering the prices and making devices more useful and easier to use for the end user. Even so several important issues are always to be handled strictly before developing and installing a Home Automation System; factors like security, reliability, usefulness, robustness and price are critical to determine if the final product will accomplish the expected requirements.

Authors:   Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, Niš, University of Niš, Marić Stanković Anđelina
Published: January 2023

The material basis of a tourist destination is one of the most important factors of the tourist offer, which can affect the entire tourist traffic. The paper deals with the area of Pčinja district as an area with exceptional natural and anthropogenic tourist values. However, the Pčinja district is completely marginalized in terms of tourism and out of the mass tourist flows, which is a consequence of the insufficient and outdated material basis. Therefore, the paper analyzes the material basis of the Pčinja district in order to provide a basis for further strategic planning of the tourism development. Pčinja district has great potential for the development of several forms of tourism: sports - recreational, mountain, spa, hunting and fishing, excursions, and transit ones. However, without sufficient accommodation capacities, developed tourist infrastructure and suprastructure, any tourist development is not possible, regardless of the exceptional tourist values. If a new material base were built in the Pčinja district and the already existing tourist development of this area was reconstructed, it would take a positive course in the future.

Published: January 2023

The paper investigates the possibilities and scope of the impact of marketing information systems on future tourist trends. Special emphasis is placed on the current conditions in which the world economy and tourism find themselves, which are significantly determined by the spread of the COVID 19 pandemic and the digitalization of business. In such conditions, the importance of marketing information systems for adequate management of relationship marketing in tourism is increasing. Namely, successful marketing in tourism means offering greater value than the competition, as well as customer satisfaction. Satisfaction is achieved when the obtained performance of the tourist service meets or exceeds expectations. Customer expectations are formed on the basis of pre-purchase information, and commercial success is achieved when performance exceeds expectations. Marketing information systems are often used in practice in order to constantly improve the customer base. One-on-one marketing, or tailoring travel services to individual customers, depends heavily on market and timely customer information. Research has shown that marketing information systems provide an organized and timely flow of market information that optimizes marketing decision-making in tourism.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a particularly severe blow to the tourism industry. The introduced movement restrictions resulted in an unprecedented drop in tourist movements, causing economic loss and unemployment in this sector. However, not all tourism segments suffered equal effects. Namely, adventure tourism, as a type of tourism that takes place in the natural environment and most often in small groups, experienced growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, it is expected that in the post-pandemic period, its growth will be even higher. In that sense, the aim of this paper is to emphasize the natural potentials of the Republic of Serbia as adventure tourism destination. The results of the qualitative analysis have shown that the Republic of Serbia has abundant natural resources for, yet insufficiently developed, adventure tourism.

Capítulo 1. La grieta: polarización ideológica y afectiva en el debate político español
Authors: Egea Medrano Manuel A. , Garrido Rubia Antonio
Published: January 2023

En España existe una brecha política que ha derivado en una elevada polarización tras haber experimentado uno de los periodos políticos más turbulentos desde la restauración de la democracia, con una grave crisis de legitimidad del sistema político y la transformación del sistema de partidos. En este capítulo se analiza el concepto mediático y político de grieta o brecha de polarización y se distinguen distintas dimensiones: la polarización afectiva, el partidismo negativo y la brecha de percepción entre adversarios políticos. A continuación, se aborda el primero de estos aspectos, la polarización y las principales formas de medir empíricamente este concepto, especialmente a través de la polarización ideológica y la polarización afectiva. El estudio desarrolla, con más extensión, el concepto de polarización afectiva y estudia los escasos estudios españoles sobre este tema. Asimismo, a partir de una encuesta se analiza el nivel de polarización afectiva de la sociedad española hacia los partidos políticos y hacia sus líderes. En este sentido, se muestra que actualmente existe una menor polarización afectiva hacia los líderes que hacia los partidos, confirmando que la adhesión de los ciudadanos hacia los líderes y las élites políticas es inferior en España, un aspecto en el que nuestro país parece diferir de las tendencias estudiadas en otros contextos. Finalmente, se propone una agenda de investigación en este campo, sugiriendo el estudio de las distintas variables sociodemográficas que han mostrado una cierta variación en los niveles de polarización afectiva en función del sexo, la edad, los estudios, la religión o la percepción de la situación política.

Palabras clave: polarización afectiva, polarización ideológica, sistemas multipartidistas, brecha política, España, datos de encuestas.

Authors: Mousavi Seyed Muhammad Hossein , Ilanloo Atiye
Published: January 2023

One of the most hazardous phenomena in forests is wildfire or bush fire and early detection of massive damage prevention is vital. Employing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) as a visual and extinguisher tool in order to prevent this tragedy which brings fatal effects on humans and wildlife has high importance. Additionally, using aerial imagery could assist firefighters to recognize fire intensity and localize and route the fire in the forest which shrinks down casualties of firefighters. All these benefits and more is just possible by employing cheap UAVs. The proposed research uses nature-inspired image processing techniques in order to segment and classify fire in color and thermal images. Multiple nature-inspired and traditional computer vision techniques, including Chicken Swarm Algorithm (CSA) intensity adjustment (contrast enhancement), Denoising Convolutional Neural Network (DnCNN), Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) feature extraction, Bees Image Segmentation, Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) feature selection, Firefly Algorithm (FA) classification and more are employed to achieve high classification and segmentation accuracy. The system evaluates nine performance metrics including, F-Score, Accuracy, and Jaccard for the segmentation stage and four performance metrics for the classification stage. All experiments are conducted on the two most recent UAV fire datasets of FLAME (2021) and DeepFire (2022). Additionally, fire intensity, fire direction, and fire geometrical calculation are calculated which assists firefighters even more. As smoke shows the location of the fire, a smoke detection workflow is proposed, too. Proposed system Compared with traditional and novel methods for segmentation and classification leading to satisfactory and promising results for almost all metrics. The trained model of this system could be used in most of the current rescue UAVs in real-time applications. For the FLAME dataset (color data), segmentation precision is 95.57 % and classification accuracy is 91.33 %. Also, For the DeepFire dataset segmentation precision is 91.74 % and classification accuracy is 96.88 %.

Целью данной статьи является обобщение сведений о связях наиболее значимых психосоциальных факторов с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями и приверженностью к медикаментозному лечению у пациентов, перенесших инфаркт миокарда. В многочисленных исследованиях установлены прямые ассоциации депрессии, личностной тревожности, а также враждебности и невротических расстройств с риском развития инфаркта миокарда и наступлением сердечно-сосудистых событий. Жизненное истощение способствует развитию ишемической болезни сердца и является одним из наиболее важных факторов риска как для мужчин, так и для женщин, а также относительно кратковременным прогностическим маркером возникновения инфаркта миокарда. Определено, что изолированные и одинокие люди подвержены повышенному риску инфаркта миокарда и инсульта, а среди лиц с инфарктом миокарда или инсультом в анамнезе – повышенному риску смерти. Представлены убедительные сведения о том, что узкое социальное окружение и неудовлетворительная социальная поддержка повышают риск развития сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний и ухудшают их прогноз. В ряде исследований установлено, что депрессия и тревожность прямо ассоциированы с низкой приверженностью к медикаментозной терапии у лиц, перенесших инфаркт миокарда. Определено, что социальная поддержка пациентов, перенесших инфаркт миокарда, прямо связана с приверженностью к выполнению рекомендаций по вторичной профилактике и медикаментозному лечению.
Finite uniform approximation of zero-sum games defined on a product of staircase-function continuous spaces

Published: January 2023

A method of finite approximation of zero-sum games defined on a product of staircase-function continuous spaces is presented. The method consists in uniformly sampling the player’s pure strategy value set, solving “smaller” matrix games, each defined on a subinterval where the pure strategy value is constant, and stacking their solutions if they are consistent. The stack of the “smaller” matrix game solutions is an approximate solution to the initial staircase game. The (weak) consistency, equivalent to the approxi-mate solution acceptability, is studied by how much the payoff and optimal situation change as the sampling density minimally increases. The consistency is decomposed into the payoff, optimal strategy support cardinality, optimal strategy sampling density, and support probability consistency. The most important parts are the payoff consistency and optimal strategy support cardinality (weak) consistency. However, it is practically reasonable to consider a relaxed payoff consistency, by which the game optimal value change in an appropriate approximation may grow at most by epsilon as the sampling density minimally increases. The weak consistency itself is a relaxation to the consistency, where the minimal decrement of the sampling density is ignored.

"In this paper, we investigate the existence of heteroclinic solutions for a class of p-Laplacian difference equations with a parameter. The proof of the main theorem is variational and based on the use of the Mountain Pass Theorem. Our results successfully improve recent ones in the literature and partially answer an open problem proposed by Cabada and Tersian in [23]."

"The aim of this paper is to provide a characterization diagram for a family of B\'{e}zier flexible interpolation curves as well as to present an application of our results in cryptography. In our interpolation scheme, two parameters, $t_1,\ t_2\in (0,1)$ determine the position of the interpolation points on the B\'{e}zier curve. Consequently we obtain a family of B\'{e}zier interpolation curves depending on two parameters. Altering the values of the parameters we modify the intermediary control points and implicitly the shape of the interpolation curve. In order to control the shape of the interpolation curves from this family, we provide a partition of the domain $T=(0,1)\times (0,1)$ where the parameters lie according to the geometric characterization of these curves: with zero, one or two inflexion points; with loop; with cusp and degenerated in quadratic curves. The characterization diagram can be used as a tool for the choice of parameters, with possible applications in different fields. We present one of its application in cryptography, for finding certain subspaces over which particular elliptic sub-curves are defined. Computation, implementation and graphics are made using MATLAB."

Indigenous young adults experience disproportionately high rates of unemployment, which are exacerbated by systemic factors such as poverty and oppression (Britten & Borgen, 2010). Despite these challenges, many Indigenous young adults do well in their educational and employment pursuits (Bougie et al., 2013). This study explored what helped and hindered the career decision-making of 18 Indigenous young adults in Canada who see themselves as doing well in this regard. Using the Enhanced Critical Incident Technique (ECIT), a qualitative research method which focuses on helping and hindering factors (Butterfield et al., 2009), 13 categories were identified: (a) Family/Relationships & commitments, (b) Setting goals/Taking initiative/Focusing on interests, (c) Support from community/mentors, (d) A healthy way (physical, mental, social), (e) Finding meaning/motivation & contributing, (f) Networking & who you know, (g) Systemic/External factors (institution, job-market, sexism, racism, interpersonal aspects), (h) Financial situation, (i) Knowledge/Information/Certainty, (j) Experience (work/life), (k) Educational opportunities/Training & specialized education, (l) Indigenous background/Cultural factors, and (m) Courage & self-worth (vs. fear/doubt in self/others).  These categories highlighted the systemic, interpersonal, and experiential processes in career decision-making for Indigenous young people in Canada. Implications for career counselling practice and future research are also discussed.
Career Counselling for Cancer Survivors Returning to Work
Authors: Chen Charles P. , Slater Deana
Published: January 2023

Cancer impacts workability significantly more than other physical and psychiatric disorders. Accommodations are often required upon returning to work after treatment, and cancer survivors may experience discrimination during this process. This article discusses key career challenges cancer survivors face and presents relevant career counselling theories to assist clients in navigating them. Constructivist career counselling models and happenstance theory offer strategies to help survivors make meaning out of unexpected events, explore new possibilities for returning to work, and gain skills for coping with future challenges in the workforce.
An Overview of Work-Life Wellness for Teleworking Couples
Authors: Como Rebecca , Domene José
Published: January 2023

A sizeable number of employees throughout Canada are continuing to telework following the COVID-19 pandemic. Couples who telework may experience tension between their work and personal life. Telework may have both positive and negative impacts on work-life wellness depending on employee circumstances. For example, teleworking women with children may be expected to prioritize their home and family over their work. Even though COVID-related restrictions have eased in Canada, allowing for more freedom around home and work arrangements, it is plausible to expect a long-term shift towards an increased number of employees working from home more often, with associated changes in family dynamics as both partners adjust to this "new normal." In response to the complex relationship between teleworking and work-life wellness in the context of couples, the first author has proposed a study to research work-life wellness for teleworking couples, addressing the research question, "how do teleworking couples construct and cultivate work-life wellness together?". It is anticipated that this study will foster understanding of work-life wellness in teleworking couples, and inform policies, counselling techniques, and future research.

Published: January 2023

Several studies have revealed that in the near future, the problem of feeding the increased population will skyrocket due to the rapidly rising population. Conventional methods of food production will not be sufficient for huge amounts of food requirement, as it has several constraints such as non-uniform distribution of mineral rich farmland and water resources, moreover continuous use of fertile farmland has also aided in reduced productivity. Although current food production is sufficient but still it is not wisely distributed as an urban area is still depend upon rural areas for their food demands, Soil less cultivation is one such way in which we can produce food in urban areas and by using resources wisely and efficiently. This review paper will discuss the potential of lettuce grown through different soil less media and some major varieties of lettuce. This paper will provide an overview of some important hydroponics systems their working and their suitability for lettuce production and will also discuss some characteristics of lettuce that is grown hydroponically focussing mainly on observable characteristics. Moreover, it will highlight the effects of different soilless media on growth of lettuce and will also provide a brief description on the effect of different combinations of coloured lights on growth of lettuce. As hydroponics is energy efficient it has sustainable goal of ‘Responsible Consumption and Production’ i.e., goal number twelfth, further as it gives higher production it also helps in meeting the requirement of second goal of sustainable development i.e., ‘Zero Hunger’

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendiskusikan serta menganalisis konsep sanksi pidana yang memberikan keadilan bagi korban penipuan, adapun pendekatan masalah yang digunakan yaitu pendekatan secara konseptual (conceptual approach), pendekatan secara perundang-undangan (statue approach), dan yang terakhir pendekatan kasus (case approach). Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian normatif dengan mengkaji serta memahami hukum sebagai norma atau aturan hukum positif. Sumber bahan hukum diperoleh dari perundang-undangan, buku litaratur, teori serta jurnal – jurnal hukum. Dimana nantinya akan dipergunakan untuk menemukan bagaimana seharusnya konsep sanksi pidana yang memberikan keadilan bagi korban tindak pidana penipuan untuk mendapatkan hak-haknya yaitu melalui double track system sanksi berupa pidana ganti kerugian yang dialami karena akibat dari tindak pidana tersebut, dikarenakan saksi pidana yang saat ini berlaku hanya memberikan hukuman kurungan penjara saja tanpa memperhatikan korbannya.
