Potato plants are one of the plants that are included in horticultural commodities that are widely cultivated by farmers. Potatoes are the part produced from this plant and are the fourth largest agricultural food crop in the world after corn, wheat and rice. Potato plants are susceptible to attacks by various diseases in the leaf area, resulting in delays in potato production. This disease can be recognized by farmers visually, because the infected leaves have a different color and texture from healthy or fresh leaves. However, it was found that detection using the naked eye by farmers required more processing time and often gave inappropriate results. Methods in the field of image processing can be applied, namely by using pattern recognition or characteristics from the image of diseased potato leaves. Through this technique it is hoped that it can detect diseases on potato leaves correctly and accurately. Based on this description, this study aims to design a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model and evaluate the performance of two architectures, namely DenseNet 121 and MobileNet. From the results of research conducted by the author on potato leaf disease images, it shows that the MobileNet algorithm is better than the DenseNet 12 algorithm. The MobileNet algorithm produces an accuracy of 98.00%, therefore the MobileNet algorithm has better performance for image classification of potato leaf disease

Authors:   HanoiUniversity of Civil Engineering, Thanh-Long Ngo
Published: May 2023

The construction field has an important and meaningful role in the economy of any nation, especially developing nations. However, construction is one of the most dangerous fields and has the highest rate of accidents, including deaths and disabling injuries in the world. The construction field uses many tower cranes, especiallyfor constructing multi-storey buildings, factories, or in urban areas, and requires an increasing number of tower cranes. Tower cranes certainly contribute to the high rate of construction injuries and fatalities, in which tower crane installation and dismantling take a high rate. Accidents during tower crane installation and dismantling can killpeople (workers and citizens) as well as delays in construction schedules of project and/or damage to buildings and machines under construction. As a result, the cost of costruction projects can increase. In this paper, safety risk factors during tower crane installation and dismantling on construction sites in Vietnam are estimated byshowing their likelihood of occurrence, degree of influence, and risk levels. A suitable-structured questionnaire was produced and sent to get data that had their likelihood of occurrence and degree of influence by applying a five-point Likert scale. The results showed that “Time constraints are requested by investor, principal contractor or employer” is the most likely factor with a mean value of 3.60 and “Break of a wire rope occurring on dismantling” has the highest degree of influence, with a mean valueof4.18. The result also showed that there are 15/21 factors with a moderate risk level that is acceptable but, requires suitable controls to maintain a safe working condition of tower crane installation and dismantling. The results of the paper may help managers as well as practicians with good understandings of how to advance the safety of tower crane installation and dismantling on construction sites in Vietnam.

This study created and evaluated a mediation model which allowsthe role of essential artificial intelligence (AI) in mediating the connection between service quality and behavioural intent to use AI security features in the United Arab Emirates.The primary objective is to improve the standards for customer service in the UAE's artificial intelligence security industry. The data to developed the model was derived from 389 valid questionnaires form the questionnaire survey. The data was screened and cleaned before uploaded in Smart-PLS software to developing and assessing the model.Based on the assessment on the model, it was found that the most fundamental form of artificial intelligence exerts a mediating effect to some extent, on the connectionthat exists between service quality and behavioural intention in terms of the application of Al security technology.The coefficient and t-value point to a substantial indirect relationship between the quality of the service and the intention to use artificial intelligence. This relationship is shown to be indirect rather than direct. It is possible to draw the conclusion that improved service quality raises people's likelihood of intending to use AI security technologies. This is due to the fact that the contribution of such technologies to improved job performance, as well as the convenience with which such technologies can be utilised, raises people's awareness of the perceived value of such technologies.

The Malaysian government’s pursuit of the Movement Control Order (MCO) had a severe impact on the performance of the construction project, which was hampered as a result of their actions. It becomes even more difficult when the region aroundconstruction projectsisdefinedas a “red zone”. This situation affectsthe performance of construction projects,which is related to project delays, increase in construction costs, waste of construction materials, labourerswho havenot receivedany salary, lack of labour,and etc. This paper attemptsto investigate the relationship between MCOimpact factors and the performance of construction projects in Malaysia.The quantitative technique was applied in this study. The contractors registered under the Construction Development Board (CIDB) in the state of Selangor werechosen as therespondents. In total, 100 respondents participated and gave full support for this study. This relationship was investigated using a correlation analysistechnique.The highest impact is the construction cost. The construction costsincreased due to the increase in the prices of construction materials and machinery, lack of labours, and additional expenses for COVID-19 precautions. The findingsfound that the larger the negative impact of MCO’s actions during the COVID-19outbreak on time, cost, and resources, the worse the performance of Malaysian projects will be in general.These factors should be consideredby the government before a decision is made. For future research, it is suggested to look at how the regulation can assist the construction stakeholdersto ensure the MCO does not have abig impact onthe construction projects.

Earlier investigations on passive cooling methods applied software modelling, and the findings were not confirmed through field measurement. Hence, this study applied a stationary experiment on a real structure and weather conditions employing horizontal sun shading (SDH). The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of fixed passive sun-shading devices put on to the bare façade of three-story terrace shophouses in Malaysia. The experiment findings revealed that SDH significantly improved the internal thermal environment by lowering the average monthly indoor air temperature (Ta) by 0.98 K and the peak temperature by 2.11 K. SDH is also effective during the warmest sunny days, lowering 1.23 K on average for the day. Meanwhile, SDH reduced the temperature in the control room by 5.40 K during the warmest peak time.When it came to indoor mean radiant temperature (Tmrt), SDH performed better than the control room in the very hot peakover a month (2.38 K) and on the highest temperature of the day (7.70 K). Finally, it can be inferred that SDH worked better from late at night until early in the morning, cooling the room temperature faster. This quiescent choice is one of the best for enhancing a building's internal thermal performance while also possibly contributing to a decrease in operational energy consumption.

Published: May 2023

Research has proven that TPACK model can significantly contribute to teachers’ training in their educational work, along with the training context, as well as to contribute to their initial training. The objective of this research is to analyze the level of teaching competence that teachers have according to TPACK model, as well as the variables that influence the technological implementation in the classroom. For the data analysis, we used a validated questionnaire composed by 47 items divided into the seven dimensions of TPACK model. We performed a stratified sampling by conglomerates in various stages, using public schools as a sampling unit. The sample is formed by 825 teachers. This is a descriptive and non-experimental investigation, where we performed a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) test between the dimensions of the diagnosis scale and the socio-demographic variables. The most significant results have been the differences found regarding the educational stage and the age of the participants. It should be noted that the organization of the two stages, although based in the same principles and with common elements for the transition from one to another, is different. The study presents some adapted and focused training proposals in order to alleviate the training weaknesses of in-service teachers from TPACK model.
Perceptions of university students regarding engagement in synchronous discussions involving teamwork during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Liu Shih-Hsiung
Published: May 2023

Teamwork is usually a component of the learning assessment framework of online courses, and the timely sharing of information and feedback through synchronous communication is beneficial for team-based assignments. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, university students did not always actively engage in virtual teamwork in online environments because they were learning from home and were subject to the effect of disruptions at home. This study explored the perceptions of university students who engaged in synchronous discussions involving teamwork during the COVID-19 pandemic. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 25 Taiwanese university students. Through qualitative methods that incorporated individual interviews and a content analysis, six content concepts were established. Afterward, relational content analysis was conducted. This study revealed that the students benefited from visible synchronous discussions in terms of inquiry dialogue, project creation, and learning satisfaction. Notably, the interviewees mostly did not switch on their webcams but recognized that webcam use can benefit discussions. The participants’ decision to switch on/off their webcams was primarily influenced by their perception of the importance of a given project than by their privacy concerns. Moreover, when home-based leaning was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, group leaders encountered an obstruction when they were guiding their group members to engage in teamwork involving physical tasks. Future studies should explore how members should be guided to engage in teamwork involving physical tasks during synchronous discussions.

PR13 Four-wave Mixing Using Integrated Silicon Photonic Microring CROWs (Project Report 0642603-Y4)
Authors: Mookherjee Shayan
Published: May 2023

This NSF-funded project [0642603] is a five-year (60 months) CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development Program) unified research and education development program. The project’s focus is the study of low-power (milliwatt class) nonlinear optics using a novel type of waveguide, the Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguide (CROW), which can greatly increase the conversion efficiency over conventional waveguides, and support much wider bandwidths than single micro-resonators. Examples of the nonlinear effects that were studied in this project are wavelength conversion of high speed data-modulated signals and correlated photon-pair generation at room temperature in a compact device with low pump power requirements.
Enhancing Energy Management in Hybrid Microgrids through Hybridization and Low-Cost Energy Storage Solutions
Authors: Bilal Hassan
Published: May 2023

Enhancing energy management in hybrid microgrids through hybridization and low-cost energystorage solutions is a topic of great importance in the pursuit of a sustainable and efficient energysystem. This article discusses the benefits and implications of hybridization and the utilization oflow-cost energy storage solutions in the context of hybrid microgrids.Hybridization refers to the integration of multiple energy sources within a microgrid, combiningrenewable energy sources such as solar and wind with conventional energy sources like dieselgenerators or grid connection. By diversifying the energy sources, hybrid microgrids can achieveimproved reliability, increased energy independence, and reduced environmental impact. Theintegration of low-cost energy storage solutions further enhances the capabilities of hybridmicrogrids, enabling efficient energy management and better utilization of renewable energy.
The Italian Version of the Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire (PAQ) | La versione Italiana del PAQ (Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire)
Authors: Bovo Anna , Preece David , Luminet Olivier

This is the Italian translation of the Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire. L’alessitimia è un costrutto multidimensionale che comprende tre componenti: difficoltà nell’identificare le proprie emozioni (DIF) ; difficoltà nel descrivere le proprie emozioni (DDF) ; e uno stile di pensiero orientato all’esterno (EOT), per il quale si tende a non prestare attenzione alle proprie emozioni. In altri termini, persone con alti livelli di alessitimia si trovano in difficoltà nel prestare attenzione ai loro stati emotivi (EOT), e difficoltà nel valutare accuratamente quali stati emotivi siano (DIF, DDF). (Preece et al., 2017; Sifneos, 1973). Come specificato nel modello di attenzione-valutativa dell’alessitimia (Preece et al., 2017), il livello generale di alessitimia nelle persone riflette il livello di sviluppo dei loro schemi emotivi (per esempio, quelle strutture cognitive usate per interpretare le informazioni emotive) e la misura in cui evitano di concentrarsi sui loro stati emotivi. È dimostrato che l’alessitimia sia un tratto relativamente stabile, sebbene i livelli di alessitimia possano ancora fluttuare nel tempo, come quando si attraversa un periodo di aumentato distress o in risposta a specifici trattamenti (p. es. Luminet et al., 2001). Il questionario PAQ (Preece et al., 2018) è una misura autodichiarata dell’alessitimia in 24 items. È stata progettata per l’utilizzo negli adulti e adolescenti. Il questionario PAQ è progettato per valutare tutti i componenti dell’alessitimia, includendo emozioni sia positive che negative. Dalla misura possono essere derivati cinque punteggi sottostanti (=sottoscale) e sei punteggi compositi (ciascuno elencato nella seguente tabella), con punteggi più alti che indicano elevati livelli di alessitimia. In pratica, i 5 punteggi sottostanti e il punteggio totale della scala vengono usati più frequentemente, dato che questa combinazione fornisce un equilibrio di comprensione e brevità adattabile per la maggiore parte degli scopi clinici e di ricerca.
Being Moved by Sad Music Across Countries: Characterizing the Emotional Experience in Finland, Germany, and France
Authors: Grüning David Joachim , Kaemmerer Mareike , Vuoskoski Jonna Katariina
Published: May 2023

The present studies explore the emotional phenomenon of feeling moved or touched by music; a profound, positive emotion. Recent evidence suggests that this emotional experience plays a central role in the enjoyment of sad-sounding music. However, cross-cultural explorations of this phenomenon are lacking. By re-analyzing data from a previous study and conducting two additional studies, we examine the phenomenon’s generalizability with listeners across three different European countries: Finland, Germany, and France. Further, we explore how this emotional experience is moderated by different psychological constructs like empathy and emotional contagion. Via network analysis, we identified a cluster of four specific emotional experiences - namely, feeling sad, feeling moved, perceiving the music as intense, and liking the music - that replicates across the three countries and represents the experience of being moved by unfamiliar sad music. We found similarities and differences between the countries in terms of which psychological constructs moderate the experience of being moved, highlighting both consistent and variable aspects of this emotional response to sad music.
Ant Colony Optimization for Parallel Test Assembly
Authors: Watrin Luc , Schroeders Ulrich , Wilhelm Oliver
Published: May 2023

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms have previously been used to compile single short scales of psychological constructs. In the present article, we showcase the versatility of the ACO to simultaneously construct multiple parallel short scales that adhere to several competing and interacting criteria. Based on an initial pool of 120 knowledge items, we assembled three 12-item tests that (a) adequately cover the construct at a domain level, (b) follow a unidimensional measurement model, (c) allow reliable and (d) precise measurement of fact knowledge, and (e) are gender fair. Moreover, we aligned the test characteristic and test information functions of the three tests to establish the equivalence of the tests. We cross-validated the assembled short scales and investigated their association with the full scale and covariates that were not included in the optimization procedure. Finally, we discuss potential extensions in metaheuristic test assembly and the equivalence of parallel knowledge tests in general.
Afterword to an Unpublished Forum

The questions in the fifty-sixth issue of Antropologicheskij Forum addressed the changes that have taken place in our lives and workover the past year. By focusing on the concept of “boundaries”, theeditors invited the authors to reflect on the changes that are occuringtoday in our professional practices, in the field, and in our understandingof the profession. The Forum was meant to be a platformfor dialogue between people not only divided, but still united byboundaries—disciplinary, epistemic, value-based, etc. The variety ofresponses and reactions received, and the sharpness and emotionalityof many remarks faced the editors with a difficult choice. Finally,we made the decision not to publish the materials of the ‘SocialSciences and Boundaries’ Forum in the journal. In our ‘Afterwordan Unpublished Forum’ we discuss topics that have become key today:silence, public dumbness, attempts to overcome them, and the searchfor new ways to talk about modernity in the social sciences in Russiaand about Russia today.

The book presents results of longitudinal fieldwork in the Alpine region on the border of France, Italy and Switzerland, called “the country around Mont Blanc” by the locals and “Arpitania” by political activists. The study is based on rich data including field notes, observations, interview notes, as well as a variety of texts collected by the author. The book convincingly demonstrates how, as a result of socio-cultural processes—as well as political and scientific projects—a group of idioms begins to be recognized as a language—Francoprovençal, or Arpitan. The study was carried out in the spirit of critical ethnographic sociolinguistics, which involves the critical analysis of collected field data as well as of the researcher’s position. The analysis of a specific multilingual situation implements this approach (for the first time in Russian), as well as other contemporary approaches, such as critical analysis of discourse, historical linguistics, linguistic anthropology, and models of nation and cross-border communities. The book thus can be used as a textbook and become an inspiration for sociolinguistic and anthropological research of any community.
