Authors: Shojaei Bahman , Dashti Naserabadi Heidar , Taheri Amiri Mohammad Javad
Published: September 2024

Effective allocation of human resources to project activities is crucial in optimizing project schedules and resource utilization. This paper addresses the challenge of competency-based workforce allocation in construction project scheduling by integrating multi-criteria decision-making with meta-heuristic optimization. A three-objective mathematical planning model aimed at minimizing project completion time, reducing implementation costs, and enhancing workforce competency is proposed. By leveraging expert opinions and multi-criteria decision-making techniques the relevant competency criteria are identified and prioritized. Our approach involves solving a sample problem precisely using GAMS software and developing two meta-heuristic algorithms—Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) and Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO). The algorithms' parameters were optimized using Taguchi design techniques to ensure robust performance. The effectiveness of our proposed methods is validated by comparing their results with exact solutions and conducting extensive tests on large-scale problems. The results demonstrate that both meta-heuristic algorithms effectively address the competency-based allocation challenge, with NSGA-II showing superior performance in achieving optimal solutions. This study highlights the potential of integrating competency-based approaches with advanced optimization techniques to enhance project management in construction.

Published: September 2024

RESUMO - As áreas costeiras, sujeitas a mudanças constantes devido a ações erosivas, deposicionais e antrópicas, enfrentam desafios físicos e ecossistêmicos significativos. A mudança do uso e cobertura do solo amplia a perda de habitats cruciais, como dunas, essenciais para serviços ecossistêmicos de proteção costeira. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo realizar uma análise temporal de mudanças no ecossistema de dunas do distrito de Quintão. Para isso, foram selecionadas imagens Landsat de diferentes períodos e analisadas as mudanças obtidas através da classificação semi automática das imagens. A partir da classificação, os dados foram inseridos no modelo Land Change Modeler no software TerrSet 2020 onde foram elaborados os mapas de transição, de mudança e de persistência das classes ao longo do período de análise. Os resultados obtidos indicam um aumento de 993% na área urbana no distrito. Já as áreas de dunas apresentaram uma diminuição em sua área de 34,45%. Diante das alterações ambientais identificadas decorrentes do crescimento urbano, propõe-se a implementação de um monitoramento contínuo da supressão de ambientes naturais em Quintão. Essa medida visa não apenas à preservação das dunas como parte fundamental do ecossistema costeiro, mas também a mitigação dos impactos negativos associados ao avanço urbano desordenado.

ABSTRACT - Coastal areas, subject to constant changes due to erosive, depositional, and anthropic actions, face significant physical and ecosystem challenges. The change in land use and coverage exacerbates the loss of crucial habitats, such as dunes, essential for coastal protection ecosystem services. The aim of this study is to conduct a temporal analysis of changes in the dune ecosystem in the Quintão district. To achieve this, Landsat images from different periods were selected, and changes were analyzed through the semi-automatic classification of the images. Following the classification, the data were input into the Land Change Modeler in the TerrSet 2020 software, where transition, change, and persistence maps of the classes were developed over the analysis period. The results indicate a 993% increase in urban area in the district. Conversely, dune areas experienced a decrease in their extent by 34.45%. Given the identified environmental changes resulting from urban growth, the continuous monitoring of the suppression of natural environments in Quintão is proposed. This measure aims not only at preserving dunes as a fundamental part of the coastal ecosystem but also at mitigating the negative impacts associated with disordered urban advancement.

NUEVA METODOLOGÍA PARA LA INTERPRETACIÓN DE LAS SECUENCIAS TURBIDÍTICAS CON LA UTILIZACIÓN COMBINADA DE HERRAMIENTAS DE SEDIMENTOLOGÍA Y REGISTROS GEOFÍSICOS
Authors: HERNÁNDEZ-LEÓN José , CASTRO-CASTIÑEIRA Olga María
Published: September 2024

RESUMEN - Los reservorios de turbiditas son depósitos sedimentarios de aguas profundas, con un potencial significativo para la búsqueda y exploración de hidrocarburos, formados por corrientes de turbidez de alta densidad, cargados de sedimentos que se derrumban desde el talud hacia la cuenca, debido a la gravedad. Entre los principales retos en la caracterización de estos reservorios, está su elevado nivel de heterogeneidad, expresada en variabilidad granulométrica, así como rápidos cambios faciales y deposicionales en todos los sentidos. La interpretación de la litología de estas secuencias mediante el estudio de las muestras de cuttings ha constituido siempre un serio problema, ya que es prácticamente imposible la conservación de la matriz que soporta los granos, dada su naturaleza arcilloso-margosa muy friable. Por lo tanto, la utilización y aplicación de técnicas multidisciplinarias es esencial para poder realizar una correcta interpretación y evaluación de estos reservorios. Si se dispone de un complejo de registros geofísicos estándar en estos tramos, es posible calcular la arcillosidad, de modo que se utilizan estos valores para suplir la ausencia de matriz arcillosa en las muestras, lo que hace posible realizar una clasificación correcta y establecer microfacies en estos sedimentos. Esta metodología aplicada a la sedimentología, resulta algo completamente novedoso.

Fears and Studying Abroad: A Survey and Interview among Chinese Students at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies
Authors: Mullins Alison
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to determine how to help students prepare to study abroad by finding out if students who traveled abroad, watched foreign TV shows, and/or used social media networking sites had the same fears about going abroad as students who did not do these things. The researcher conducted a survey of nearly 100 Chinese university students who were getting ready to go abroad to study, asking them first about their fears about going abroad and then about their traveling experiences, TV watching habits, and social media habits. The researcher also conducted six interviews to gather deeper information about these students’ thoughts and fears related to studying abroad. While the results from the interviews showed relatively minor differences in fears of students who did and did not do each of these things, several results were clear. First, students who traveled abroad to areas that were similar to areas that they were preparing to go to expressed feelings of deeper preparation in regard to going abroad. Second, many students expressed the view that watching Western TV shows could help them to learn English, and language barriers was the most common fear that students faced (tied for first with cultural barriers). Third, the interviews revealed that using SNSs could help students to learn how to talk to people from other cultures and help to prepare them to go abroad. Using Western SNSs also seemed to be the strongest help in lessening students’ fears about language barriers. In conclusion, this study can be used as a springboard to further discover how to use each of these methods, travel abroad, Western TV shows, and social networking sites, to help students feel more ready and less fearful about going abroad to study. Applications for teachers include learning from the fears explored here to know how to help students to choose good places to go for traveling that will help prepare them for their study abroad experience. Teachers can also see the importance of addressing fears about discrimination for students who watch Western TV shows, and teachers can encourage students to use Western SNSs to practice English as this develops confidence in students.

Authors: Athirah Nor Azman Noramira , Darmawan Mohd. Faaizie , Osman Mohd Zamri , Zainal Abidin Ahmad Firdaus
Published: September 2024

Breast cancer is a widespread and potentially deadly illness that affects many women worldwide. The uncontrolled growth of cells in breast tissue results in the formation of tumors, categorized as malignant or benign. Malignant tumors pose the greatest threat due to their potential to result in fatality. Early detection becomes crucial in preventing adverse outcomes, ensuring swift access to suitable treatment, and mitigating the progression of tumors. Traditionally, breast cancer diagnoses relied on medical expertise, introducing the risk of human error. Hence, this study addresses this challenge by employing supervised machine-learning models using a Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), and Random Forest (RF), to classify breast cancer as benign or malignant. These algorithms are chosen due to their proficiency in handling classification tasks. This study aims to implement 10-fold Cross-validation to the three models chosen to ensure model robustness applied to Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) dataset. Accuracy score is chosen as the performance measures for the models. Based on the results, RF with 500 and 1000 estimators outperformed SVM and KNN with an accuracy of 96.31%, compared to SVM (95.61%) and KNN (93.15%). To conclude, this study’s outcomes have the potential to significantly contribute to the development of an automated diagnostic system for early breast cancer detection.

Authors: PAWLUK- SKRZYPEK Agnieszka , JUREWICZ Monika
Published: September 2024

The main objective of the study was to analyse how environmental education is perceived by secondary school students. The research was carried out using the method of a diagnostic survey, where the technique of a questionnaire created on the SurveyLab was used. Two thematic areas were identified in the research: firstly, respondents’ understanding of the term environmental education; secondly, environmental education for improving environmental quality as perceived by respondents. The analysis of the research material showed that, for the respondents, environmental education is teaching about ways to protect the environment and learning about the environment and nature. As the dominant source of knowledge in this area, the respondents primarily point to the Internet, which is also their preferred educational space. It should also be noted that a form of environmental education that seems to ‘speak’ well to those surveyed are social campaigns. The analysis of the data shows that the school and the traditional ways of teaching and traditional teaching aids in the form of books, textbooks or paper press are not attractive to the respondents, as can be seen from the low number of indications. Furthermore, parents and teachers are not a source of knowledge in this area for the respondents. In turn, the indications made by respondents suggest that conducting environmental education with the help of new media and social campaigns contribute to the effective promotion of environmental education knowledge. It can be assumed that this is related to the motivation of greater involvement, which becomes a cause for real action in this area.

Observations from the automotive sector indicate that hybrid cars are becoming more and more popular and constitute a cheaper and more efficient alternative to electric cars. Therefore, from a scientific point of view, it is important to evaluate them in terms of selected operational parameters. The aim of the article was to analyze road carbon dioxide emissions of selected models of passenger cars HEV on the roads of one of the European countries. Additionally, an analysis of fuel consumption depending on mileage and an assessment of the energy efficiency of individual passenger vehicle models were carried out. The research process used both secondary data from vehicle manufacturers and proprietary simulations performed in real road conditions. It was found that the road carbon dioxide emission of selected HEV vehicles from the presented sample (30 vehicles) was reflected in the average carbon dioxide emission value most similar to the Volvo S90 T8 Twin vehicle after driving 96 km (117 g/km). The conclusion from the research is that HEV cars not only emit less harmful substances into the environment, but their energy parameters are more optimized than in the case of vehicles equipped with conventional drive units. The recipients of the study are both the demand side – vehicle users who are considering purchasing an HEV vehicle.

Conventional Arms Control Agreements in Europe: Conditions of Success and Failure
Authors: Lippert William
Published: September 2024

Under what conditions are adversarial conventional arms control agreements (CAC) in Europe successful or unsuccessful? This study aims to identify the conjunctural causes of conventional arms control success in Europe from the end of World War One to the present based on a dataset of 22 cases. It applies a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to assess arms control success and failure resulting from four conditions: great power rivalry, national limitations, demilitarisation and delegation. Few studies have attempted to determine if CAC agreements in Europe have been successful and determine possible explanations for their outcome. This study’s results suggest that national limitations between great power rivals and the absence of delegation with great power rivalry are more likely to result in agreement failure. Delegation may be important for agreement success when great powers or buffer zones are involved. These findings offer insights for future CAC agreements in Europe.

В статье приведены краткий обзор существующих подходов расчета сезонной урожайности пастбищ, результаты расчета фактической и средней урожайности на примере Наурзумского государственного заповедника как территории, подверженной минимальному антропогенному воздействию. Рассмотрена чувствительность ряда спектральных индексов к характеристикам растительного покрова. Рассчитаны корреляции между фактической наземной урожайностью и использованными спутниковыми индексами, показавшие достаточно высокие значения. Для пастбищ степной зоны, в особенности для территорий, отнесенных к категории особо охраняемым природным территориям, где велика доля интразональной растительности, представляется обоснованным применять индекс SAVI. Данный индекс чувствителен к концентрации хлорофилла в растительном покрове. Кроме того, этот индекс учитывает влияние сигнала обнаженных почв, что делает его более чувствительным к деталям распределения растительности в смешанных ландшафтах. С применением полученного уравнения расчета урожайности, проведено сравнение сезонной урожайности в засушливом (2019) и влажном (2016) годах. Показано, что основная потеря урожайности степных пастбищ в засушливые годы приходится на весенний и раннелетний периоды. В статье обосновывается целесообразность и необходимость внедрения алгоритмов и результатов обработки спутниковых данных в деятельность особо охраняемых природных территорий.

Objetivo: demonstrar a importância da correção eletrolítica e metabólica no controle da encefalopatia hepática. Método: revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada no mês de setembro de 2024, nas bases de dados virtuais Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online e Portal de Periódicos Capes utilizando os descritores “Encefalopatia Hepática”, “Cirrose Hepática”, “Terapêutica” e “Amônia” selecionados pelos Descritores DeCS e MeSH, relacionados com o operador booleano AND. Resultados: a correção de desequilíbrios eletrolíticos, como hipocalemia e hiponatremia, ajuda a reduzir a produção e a absorção de amônia no intestino, minimizando sua toxicidade cerebral. A estabilização do equilíbrio ácido-base e a correção de distúrbios metabólicos contribuem para a reversão dos sintomas neuropsiquiátricos da encefalopatia, como confusão mental, letargia e alterações de personalidade. A intervenção precoce pode evitar o agravamento para o coma hepático, que é a fase mais avançada e grave da encefalopatia hepática. Conclusão: a correção eletrolítica e metabólica desempenha um papel crucial no controle da encefalopatia hepática, uma complicação grave da insuficiência hepática.
