In recent years, mainly advertisements and vouchers are used for providing discounts, text messages and posters were mainly used till date but to advertise on a mobile device is need of the current scenario. Vendors must be allowed to publish and edit an advertisement to users according to the interest of the customer. This technique has low cost for digital advertisement and has a pervasive system for advertising in large commercial malls. If information is not retrieved according to their choice in a short period of time.The interest may be lost in order to purchase products. They need to find more information and location without taking much effort. Traditional paper based reminders are still useful, but they cannot be organized efficiently. Electronic reminders based on the calendar in Cell phones are more efficient and gaining popularity, but such reminders are mostly triggered by time. In many situations, tasks are only meaningful to be performed at a specific location, so it would be useful if reminders for those tasks can be triggered only when the person to be reminded is physically near or located at that location. Therefore, in this research, we develop a location-based task management for Android-based smart phones and tablets.
FINGERPRINT-BASED VEHICLE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM
Authors:   Department of ECE, B.M.S. College of Engineering
Published: June 2024

In recent years, vehicle security has become increasingly important due to the rise in vehicle theft and unauthorized access. Traditional methods such as keys and passwords are often vulnerable to theft, loss, and duplication. To address these issues, a fingerprint- based vehicle authentication system offers a robust, secure, and convenient solution. This system utilizes biometric technology, specifically fingerprint recognition, to authenticate and grant access to vehicles. The core component of the system is a fingerprint scanner integrated into the vehicle's entry and ignition systems. When a user attempts to unlock the vehicle or start the engine, the fingerprint scanner captures the fingerprint data and compares it against a stored database of authorized fingerprints. If a match is found, the system grants access; otherwise, access is denied. This method ensures that only individuals with registered fingerprints can operate the vehicle, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access and theft. The implementation involves several key technologies: fingerprint sensing, digital signal processing, and secure storage. Fingerprint sensing uses optical, capacitive, or ultrasonic sensors to capture high- resolution images of the fingerprint. Digital signal processing algorithms enhance and extract unique features from these images, converting them into a digital template. This template is then encrypted and stored in a secure database within the vehicle’s onboard computer. During authentication, the captured fingerprint is processed in real time, and its features are compared with the stored templates using pattern-matching algorithms. The system employs advanced encryption and secure communication protocols to protect the fingerprint data from interception and tampering. The benefits of this system include enhanced security, as fingerprints are unique to each individual and difficult to replicate. It also offers convenience by eliminating the need for physical keys and reducing the risk of key-related issues such as loss or theft. Additionally, the system can be integrated with other vehicle security measures, such as GPS tracking and remote immobilization, providing a comprehensive security solution.

Published: June 2024

A break in one of the circuits in a double circuit transmission network system can cause the system to overload. Where excess load on the transmission network system can cause quite dangerous impacts. The Over Load Shedding system is a protection system for the electric power transmission network which aims to prevent widespread blackouts by removing certain predetermined loads. By using the Arduino Mega 2560 as a control center, security against load abnormalities can be carried out and can be monitored automatically using Scada, apart from that, PMT taping for load balancing can also be done using Scada. The Arduino Mega 2560 will read the current on each phase wire using the ACS712 current sensor to detect the load of one of the circuits to be aware of whether it is overloaded or not. This simulator tool has carried out several measurements and tested how to operate it. This tool has a fairly high level of work accuracy, reaching 85% success in operation. So it is hoped that this tool can provide knowledge to the wider community about over load shedding systems in maintaining the electric power transmission system properly and easily to understand.

El Pueblo Gitano y su construcción de lo “social” como resistencia
Authors: Míguez Salina Gabriela , García-Álvarez Jesús , Santos Rego Miguel A.
Published: June 2024

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo profundizar en el estudio de las prácticas colectivas del Pueblo Gitano, como forma de resistencia, frente a las demandas de la actual sociedad “moderna”, caracterizada por la individualización y la búsqueda de la satisfacción personal. Lo que se pretende es encontrar en ellas son maneras alternativas de entender el funcionamiento de lo social, máxime en una época en la que lo “común”, vuelve a estar en primera línea de discusión. Se trata de un estudio de revisión de la literatura publicada en las bases de datos ERIC, Web of Science, SCOPUS y Scielo. Los resultados confirman que, debido a los grandes cambios sociopolíticos de las últimas décadas, la subjetividad gitana se halla entre dos formas de ver el mundo en disputa: una, la de su propia cultura, y la otra, correspondiente a la sociedad mayoritaria, gobernada por normas que en cierta medida les son ajenas.
ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC DEBT DRIVERS IN THE BALKANS
Authors:   Beder University College, Tirana, Albania, Bica Kevin , Imeraj Erinda ,   Epoka University, Tirana, Albania
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the main drivers of public debt and assesses the overall debt structure in the Balkan countries. Regardless of a close to 50% average debt level, there is no immediate threat of escalation compared to developed countries. The empirical analysis leverages three advanced econometric techniques to control for cross-country specifics and potential biases due to data disruptions. Sourced from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the data are of quantitative type collected from 2000- 2021. Empirical evidence suggests that Real GDP Growth and Current Account balance are crucial determinants of economic performance, with political regimes also exerting a notable influence. As the time frame of the research consists of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to consider structural breakdowns to avoid any coefficient biases.
Unsurprisingly, the dummy variable COVID-19 depicts a significant effect as public debt increased by 2.51 percentage points once the pandemic occurred. The rest of the variables, including interest rates, government expenditure, and unemployment rate, are statistically insignificant. Empirical evidence from the present study supports the hypothesis that pursuing genuine economic development through the advocacy of domestic production and trade, coupled with the consolidation of democratic institutions, can act as a check on the spiraling growth of public debt.

The instability generated by legislative changes, price volatility, difficulties in obtaining and maintaining financial stability are realities that characterize the current economic situation, and the first indications of significant uncertainties regarding the continuity of an entity's activity can be obtained from the financial statements and the audit report, consequently, it becomes essential to assume the responsibilities that administrators and financial auditors have in assessing the adequacy of the going concern principle. The objective of the research is the analysis of how the auditor, by belonging to the Big 4 or Non-Big 4 category, the audit opinion, the number of key audit aspects included in the audit report, confirms the positive or negative implications on the principle of business continuity. The research methodology involved qualitative analysis by manually extracting data from the audit reports issued for the period 2018-2022, for a sample that includes 45 companies "top traded" from Romania listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE). Following the analysis, it was found that the assumption of continuity of activity in the preparation of the individual annual financial statements, assumed by the management of the company, is adequate in 78% of the cases for the studied sample.

Authors: Prakash Pranesh
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the provision for Internet blocking and shutdowns in Indian law, and compares it with international human rights law (IHRL). It finds that IHRL potentially offers a useful lens through which to view these actions; that IHRL is widely accepted by the Indian state, including the judiciary; and that IHRL provides a useful complement to constitutional analysis. It also finds that the Indian laws and practices around Internet shutdowns and online content blocking fall short of IHRL in significant ways, including when it comes to the principles of legality, legitimate aims, necessity, proportionality, transparency, and remedies for violation of rights. Finally, it offers suggestions on how to improve the laws and practices in each of these areas, so as to comply with India’s IHRL obligations.

QUERYAUGMENT-RAG: APRIMORANDO A RECUPERAÇÃO E GERAÇÃO DE INFORMAÇÕES EM MODELOS DE LINGUAGEM DE GRANDE ESCALA
Authors: Soares Ronan Pardo
Published: June 2024

Nos últimos anos, os modelos de linguagem de grande escala (LLMs), como GPT-3, BERT e T5, revolucionaram o processamento de linguagem natural (NLP), demonstrando notável proficiência em tarefas como tradução, sumarização e, especialmente, resposta a perguntas abertas. No entanto, os motores de busca tradicionais retornam uma lista de trechos ou links em vez de responder diretamente à pergunta, o que pode ser ineficiente. A Geração Aumentada por Recuperação (RAG) combina as forças dos sistemas de recuperação e dos modelos generativos, aprimorando as capacidades dos LLMs na provisão de informações precisas de grandes bancos de dados. Este trabalho propõe um novo framework de recuperação, QueryAugment-RAG, que integra várias técnicas avançadas para otimizar a recuperação e geração de informações. O framework divide grandes corpora de texto e tabelas em partes menores e gerenciáveis, resumindo-os com o auxílio de LLMs. A pergunta do usuário também é melhorada utilizando LLMs para facilitar a busca de trechos resumidos similares baseado no critério de similaridade de cossenos. Espera-se que o QueryAugment-RAG aprimore significativamente a eficiência, precisão e relevância da recuperação de informações em comparação com abordagens tradicionais. A combinação de técnicas de aumento de consulta, busca por similaridade semântica e sumarização contextual oferece um avanço promissor para sistemas RAG, permitindo que os LLMs forneçam respostas mais precisas e contextualmente apropriadas em diversas aplicações intensivas em conhecimento.

Effectiveness of international legal instruments to combat corruption
Authors: Kostiuk Volodymyr , Drok Iryna
Published: June 2024

The relevance of this study is argued by the need to implement international practices of combating corruption and to improve the efficiency of legal mechanisms and instruments for combating corruption in all spheres of the state’s life. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the effectiveness of international legal instruments for combating corruption in Ukraine. To fulfil this purpose, it was necessary to perform the following tasks: to identify international legal instruments for fighting corruption; to investigate ways to assess the level of corruption perception in the world; to determine the progress in the fight against corruption in Ukraine; to identify problems that prevent the increase of the corruption perception index in Ukraine; to develop tools for improving the level of combating corruption in Ukraine. The principles of dialectics served as the basis of the methodological framework of the study, which included such general scientific and special legal cognition methods as comparative legal, formal legal, analysis, and synthesis. Based on the analysis of secondary sources, the study established the significance of analysing and classifying the definition of international legal instruments for combating corruption and ways of assessing the level of perception of corruption in the world. The analysis of statistical data and sociological surveys helped to establish the progress of the fight against corruption in Ukraine, which is reflected in the concrete data of monitoring the level of perception of corruption in Ukraine. The emphasis was placed on a systematic approach to identifying the problems that hinder the improvement of the corruption perception index in Ukraine. Using the comparative legal method, the study compared the provisions of Ukrainian and international legislation directly related to the issues of combating corruption and its manifestations. The conclusions of the study were formulated, with propositions of concrete tools for improving the level of combating corruption in Ukraine by improving the activities of state structures. The study reviewed and analysed relevant scientific articles of Ukrainian and foreign researchers. The practical significance of this study lies in the possibility of using its findings in the activities of Ukrainian state bodies, considering the international experts’ assessment of the effectiveness of the anti-corruption instruments already applied

Timber Engineering Notebook No. 10: Structural insulated panel construction
Authors:   Structural Timber Association
Published: June 2024

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are engineered, load-carrying, timber-based panel products that can be used in walls and roofs of residential and light commercial buildings. These lightweight panels combine the structural and thermal envelope of the building; they are manufactured off site in a factory and shipped to the construction site, offering advantages to the build programme. This panelised form of construction allows SIPs to be assembled to form highly airtight, energy-efficient building envelopes.

Context: The prevalence of obesity was 8% in 2002 and increased to 11.5% in 2011 in Indonesia. The results of the 2018 Basic Health Research stated that 13.6% of people over the age of 18 were overweight, and 21.8% were obese. Aims: To analyze the effect of intermittent restriction diet and continuous exercise with moderate intensity on individuals exposed to a high-calorie diet. Methods: A randomized posttest control group design was used as the research design, with 6 mice in each group as the study subjects. The groups in this study were the control group with a high-calorie diet (CON+), the intermittent restriction diet group (IRD), the moderate-intensity continuous exercise group (MEX), the combined intermittent restriction diet group and the moderate-intensity continuous exercise (HYB) group. The measured variables were cardiomyocyte diameter and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) expression. Results: The results of this study were cardiomyocyte diameter CON+ (27.94 ± 5.65 µm), IRD (20.99 ± 11.80 µm), MEX (25.08 ± 9.14 µm), HYB (24.52 ± 5.90 µm) with p=0.578. Expression scores of BNP CON+ (6.00 ± 1.50), IRD (4.67 ± 1.00), MEX (5.42±2.09), HYB (6.27 ± 1.54) with p=0.335. These results showed no significant difference, but the intermittent restriction diet showed the most optimal mean with the lowest mean cardiomyocyte diameter and BNP expression. Conclusions: There was no effect between the combination of an intermittent restriction diet and moderate-intensity continuous exercise on cardiomyocyte diameter and BNP expression. However, there is a potential that an intermittent restriction diet has the optimal effect in preventing changes in the cardiac structure.

Este artículo examinó el impacto de la gamificación en la integración y la inclusión estudiantil en el contexto de la Educación Inicial. Mediante un enfoque mixto de investigación, se evaluaron los efectos de la gamificación en dos aulas de la carrera de Educación Inicial de la Universidad Luis Vargas Torres de Esmeraldas, con un total de 58 estudiantes de sexo femenino y diversas etnias e inteligencias. Los resultados revelaron que la gamificación promovió la integración estudiantil al crear un ambiente inclusivo donde todos los estudiantes se sintieron valorados y parte del grupo. Además, se observó una mejora significativa en la participación, colaboración y motivación de los estudiantes, así como un aumento en la autoestima y la confianza. La gamificación también facilitó la inclusión de estudiantes con dificultades de aprendizaje al proporcionar oportunidades de adaptación. Estos hallazgos destacan el potencial de la gamificación como una estrategia efectiva para mejorar la experiencia educativa de los estudiantes y promover un ambiente de aula más inclusivo y participativo.

The Boston Keratoprosthesis type I (KPro-I) has been shown to be successful in restoring vision after severe ocular burns; however, its long-term outcomes in phthisical eyes have rarely been reported. A monocular woman with a history of severe alkali chemical injury necessitating facial transplantation presented with a light perception left eye after a complicated course, including failed KPro-I, therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty, endophthalmitis, hypotony, total retinal detachment, and structural changes, including a shrunken 18 mm axial length and eye wall thickening. The patient underwent a combined vitrectomy with silicone oil and KPro-I implantation, resulting in her regaining ambulatory visual acuity (20/250) at 3 years’ follow-up.
