Over the last few years, most of greenhouses have been managed traditionally based on manpower to monitor and maintain the plants, such as watering, fertilizing, and using their skill in detecting plant diseases. Thus, this study focuses on developing a greenhouse monitoring system by using IoT technology. It aims to assist the local farmers in monitoring their greenhouse, instead of applying the conventional methods that are tedious and required more labour works. For data collection, parameters for chilli plants are measured using temperature and humidity sensors, soil moisture sensor, and light dependent resistor (LDR) sensor. The data are sent to microcontroller and transferred to the Ubidots cloud for the monitoring purpose. Watering pump and exhaust fan can be activated to control the plant parameters so that the plant remains in its normal condition. The sensor data are processed through classification using Support Vector Machine (SVM) to analyse the plant condition, whether the proposed method is suitable or not for the chilli plant to grow. Overall, a mini greenhouse prototype for chilli plant has been successfully constructed with a system interface on Ubidots dashboard to monitor the condition of the greenhouse plant. Results show that the developed system can be an alternative in monitoring the greenhouse condition with accuracy of 94.5%.
Detection of Brain Tumour in MRI Images using Deep Belief Network (DBN)
Authors: Roshan Jahan  , Manish Madhav Tripathi
Published: March 2024

One of the world's deadliest illnesses is brain cancer. It is a cancer that often affects adults as much as children. It is the least likely species to survive, and its diversity is determined by its location, sweetness and structure. The negative effects will stem from the incorrect classification of the tumour brain. Therefore, determining the specific type and rank of the tumour in its early stages is required to select a specific treatment plan. A major concern is the elimination, segmentation and detection of tumour areas infected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite the fact that it is a laborious and tedious task done by clinical experts or radiologists whose precision depends entirely on their experience. Computer-aided technology is becoming more and more important for circumventing these limitations. This study investigates a multi-layer Deep Belief Network (DBN) technique for MRI tumour detection. The proposed model is named as Brain Tumour Deep Belief Network (BT-DBN). The BT-DBN was tested with two datasets. The results demonstrate the importance of accuracy parameters relative to the most recent approaches. The results exhibit that the BT-DBN was effective in identifying different types of tumour tissue in MR images of the brain. The precision is 99.51%, the specificity is 94.28%, and the sensitivity is 98.72%.
"Da Conformidade dos que a ElRey Christianissimo servirem": uma viagem pelas encomendas de mobiliário francês de D. João V
Authors: Lemos Diogo
Published: March 2024

Nas décadas de 1720 e 1730, D. João V encomenda aos artistas da corte francesa um conjunto de peças de mobiliário e de ornamento para guarnecer os seus circuitos palacianos. O conhecimento de muitas destas obras – verdadeiras alfaias fabricadas à luz de uma linguagem plástica renovada, emergente no contexto artístico francês da primeira metade do século XVIII – permanece lacunar, fruto da escassez de investimentos científicos nestes domínios. Resgatando preciosas fontes primárias, conservadas na Biblioteca Nacional de França e na Torre do Tombo de Lisboa (Portugal), o presente ensaio tem como principal objetivo dar a conhecer o contexto de expedição destas encomendas, focando na análise dos contextos de produção artística francesa do final do reinado de Luís XIV, governo do Duque de Orleães e início do reinado de Luís XV. No mesmo sentido, ao empreender uma abordagem analítica e comparada, direcionada aos processos de evolução e de continuidade/descontinuidade dos formulários artísticos que caracterizam várias das peças de mobiliário concebidas nestes três contextos, este investimento revela-se, também, essencial ao domínio do mercado da arte onde se incluem objetos artísticos análogos.
A Study on the Attachment of Chattel mortgage and Unjust Enrichment
Authors:   Legal Research Institute of Chonnam National University, Kim Dae Kyung
Published: March 2024

The issue of the target judgment boils down to whether, when the subject matter of the movable transfer security is attached to the other matter of he movable transfer security, the transfer security creditor who has lost ownership can claim the return of unjust enrichment against the owner or the transfer security creditor. There is a lot of controversy in academic theories and precedents regarding the position of the target judgment. This is because the position of the target judgment based on fairness and validity is causing considerable conflict with the existing legal principles regarding the return of unjust enrichment. Therefore, in this paper, how to understand the legal nature of the movable transfer security right, and then, if the object of the movable transfer security right is attached, how will be determined who is obligated to return the unjust enrichment. The purpose of this study was to examine the legal principle of return of unfair profits for the right to claim compensation, and the subject of actual gains according to compliance, in respect of the legislative purpose of the return of unfair profits system, which is to adjust unfair movement of goods based on the notions of justice and fairness. The ruling appears to have reached a conclusion considering the aspects of equity and substance. However, despite the fact that the concept is not easy to grasp due to its abstractness and ambiguity, it has been brought to the fore and established in the past on unfair enrichment. It may be said that this conclusion is difficult to accept, as it creates a contradiction or conflict in legal principles. In particular, if the debtor becomes incapacitated before or after the object of transfer security is satisfied, it is considered difficult to accept the conclusion of the subject judgment in that it may lead to unreasonable results in the interests of each transfer security creditor and the debtor. Taking the above points into consideration, it seems reasonable to consider that the entity to which the actual profits belong is the transfer secured creditor, as in the original trial. In any case, I would like to conclude this article with the hope that there will be more reasonable precedents and discussions related to this.
The Reality of Problems on Creditor’s Right to Revoke Fraudulent Acts in Korea
Authors:   Legal Research Institute of Chonnam National University, Kim Gha-Eul
Published: March 2024

In Korea, the Civil Act has only two articles concerning Creditor's Right of Revocation: Art. 406 and 407. Numbers of academic theories point out the problem that there is a disharmony between the interpretation of art. 406 and art. 407. Theories and precedents have been interpreting “revocation” in art. 406 as relative effect, but “restitution of its original status” in art. 406 as “to return the object itself which the beneficiary or subsequent purchaser has received” to harmonize the word of art. 407. This is the problem that is pointed out by many scholars. As a result of that, the beneficiary lost the object, though he or she has still the ownership of it by reason of a relatively valid contract between obligee and beneficiary. The object that returns to the obligee is regarded as his or her property only for the execution proceeding. That means the actual right of the object belongs to the beneficiary, but formally belongs to the obligee. I could not agree with the legal fiction. Because the legal fiction shown by the precedent is established using wrong method. Where did the problem like that come up? This matter arises out of the disharmony between the interpretation of art. 406 and the word of art. 407. The Supreme Court Decision 2015Da217890 is that problem itself. So we have to fix the problem anew by a interpretation or revision.

Published: March 2024

Changes in the flux and spectrum of Eta Carinae (η Car) since 1900 have been attributed to the evolution of the central binary by some. Others suggest evolution in the occulting ejecta. The brightness jump in the 1940s, which coincided with the appearance of narrow forbidden emission lines, may have been caused by the clearing and ionization of intervening circumstellar ejecta. The brightening changed at a slower pace up through 40 yr later. Here we continue earlier studies focused on the long-term, showing that the forbidden line emission increased in the early 1990s with no noticeable increase in the brightness of the Homunculus. We interpret that the increase in narrow-line emission is due to decreased extinction in the line of sight (LOS) from the central binary to the Weigelt clumps. In 2000, the central stellar core increased in brightness at a faster rate without associated changes in the Homunculus. By 2018, hundreds of narrow-line absorptions from singly ionized metals in our LOS from (η Car) disappeared, thought to be caused by increased ionization of metals. These three events (1990, 2000, and 2018) are explained by the dissipation of circumstellar material within the Homunculus close to the binary. Combining these changes with the steadiness of the Homunculus and the primary winds over the past four decades indicates that circumstellar ejecta in our direction have been cleared.

More than 36 yr have passed since the discovery of the infrared excess from circumstellar dust orbiting the white dwarf G29-38, which at 17.5 pc it is the nearest and brightest of its class. The precise morphology of the orbiting dust remains only marginally constrained by existing data, subject to model-dependent inferences, and thus fundamental questions of its dynamical origin and evolution persist. This study presents a means to constrain the geometric distribution of the emitting dust using stellar pulsations measured at optical wavelengths as a variable illumination source of the dust, which reradiates primarily in the infrared. By combining optical photometry from the Whole Earth Telescope with 0.7–2.5 μm spectroscopy obtained with SpeX at NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility, we detect luminosity variations at all observed wavelengths, with variations at most wavelengths corresponding to the behavior of the pulsating stellar photosphere, but toward the longest wavelengths the light curves probe the corresponding time variability of the circumstellar dust. In addition to developing methodology, we find the pulsation amplitudes decrease with increasing wavelength for principal pulsation modes, yet increase beyond ≈2 μm for nonlinear combination frequencies. We interpret these results as combination modes derived from the principal modes of identical ℓ values and discuss the implications for the morphology of the warm dust. We also draw attention to some discrepancies between our findings and theoretical expectations for the results of the nonlinearity imposed by the surface convection zone on mode–mode interactions and on the behavior of the first harmonic of the highest-amplitude pulsation mode.
A revision of the genus Eurymesosa Breuning, 1938 (Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Mesosini)
Authors: Huang Gui-Qiang , Xu Ling-Rui , Zhou Xian , Zhang Gui-Mei
Published: March 2024

A taxonomic revision and redescription of the genus Eurymesosa Breuning, 1938 are presented, including a key to species. Three of the five currently accepted species are considered valid: Eurymesosa ventralis (Pascoe, 1865), Eurymesosa allapsa (Pascoe, 1866) and Eurymesosa ziranzhiyi Yamasako & Lin, 2016. Three junior synonyms are proposed for E. ventralis: Eurymesosa albostictica Breuning, 1962, syn. nov., Eurymesosa affinis Breuning, 1970, syn. nov., and Eurymesosa multinigromaculata Breuning, 1974, syn. nov. Additionally, E. allapsa (Pascoe, 1866) is resurrected from synonyms of E. ventralis. Females of E. allapsa and E. ziranzhiyi Yamasako & Lin, 2016 are described for the first time.
Differences by Nurse Type in Professional Quality of Life Perceptions from Pre-COVID-19 to Intra-COVID-19
Authors: Speroni Karen , Antol Susan , Lisle Lisa , Aroom Wynne
Published: March 2024

The healthcare environment has become increasingly difficult during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic that began in March 2020. In this article, we discuss a study that considered differences by nurse type in professional quality of life perceptions. The primary study aim was to quantify differences in pre-COVID-19 and intra-COVID-19 perceptions of compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF) by nurse type, using the ProQOL survey. A secondary aim was to evaluate nurse perceptions of the intra-COVID-19 work environment. The study methods utilized a survey design with random sampling by nurse type (clinical, nurse manager, nurse director, and other nurse). Results suggested that intra-COVID-19, nurse managers had significantly greater CF scores. Intra-COVID-19, nurse directors had greater CS. COVID-19 negatively impacted self-care activities for nurses. Our discussion considers these findings related to pre-pandemic research that considered CS and CF. Implications for research and practice included identification of best practices for improvement in work environment, especially for nurse managers, and general recommendations for hazard pay and paid time off. While nurse managers have the greatest CF, all nurses need pandemic-related support.
Eunice Rivers, RN: The Myth of “The Only Woman” in the Tuskegee Study
Authors: White Robert
Published: March 2024

The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis (TSUS) was a 40-year study based in Macon County, Alabama. Miss Eunice Rivers, RN, a public health nurse and scientific assistant, was a critical, long-term worker in the TSUS. After scandal closed the TSUS in 1972, Rivers was the target of adverse attention, often portrayed as the only woman involved in the study in both fictional depictions and other nonfiction sources. No other women were identified as culpable. A review of the TSUS publications revealed the contributions of other women in the TSUS. Publications and other historical sources identified these women, their active roles, and even accolades bestowed. This article reviews the myth of Eunice Rivers as the lone woman involved in this study. The discussion offers analysis of the women in these roles and their subsequent publications. Eunice Rivers co-authored two TSUS publications. Six white women co-authored 11 publications. In conclusion, pre-1972, the public health research experiences of Rivers and the white women appeared equitable in their public exposure. Post 1972 TSUS disclosure in the media, equity vanished, and Rivers was the sole target of adverse attention. All women who had roles in the TSUS matter. This article addresses an unmet need for equitable full disclosure and reckoning.
Le réchauffement climatique dans les Alpes
Authors: Francou Bernard
Published: March 2024

L’année 2023 a été la plus chaude jamais observée par l’Organisation météorologique mondiale depuis les premiers relevés de température et a été marquée par de nombreuses catastrophes climatiques de grande ampleur, notamment en France. Sécheresses et pénuries d’eau dans le Sud, inondations dantesques dans le Nord, effondrement de parois rocheuses dans les Alpes… : les manifestations du changement climatique redoutées et annoncées depuis des décennies par les scientifiques se multiplient. Dans cet article, Bernard Francou se penche sur le cas particulier des Alpes. Spécialiste de la haute montagne et notamment glaciologue, il propose une analyse concrète et détaillée de l’impact du changement climatique sur cette région cruciale sur le plan hydrologique. Il présente ainsi de multiples données scientifiques relatives à la température, au volume des glaciers, à l’enneigement, la pluviométrie, etc., et leur évolution sur longue période, qui montrent très clairement un déclin (qui s’accélère) des glaciers et de l’enneigement. Il indique également comment pourrait évoluer cette tendance en fonction des scénarios de hausse des températures planétaires, ainsi que les conséquences qui en découleraient pour la région alpine, mais aussi pour les bassins fluviaux situés en aval et l’hydrologie du pays.

Sur l’empreinte carbone des Français
Authors: Boutang Jérôme
Published: March 2024

Nous avons fait écho à de nombreuses reprises, dans nos colonnes, à différents scénarios de transition écologique ou énergétique, réalisés par des organismes français ou internationaux (Agence internationale de l’énergie, Agence de la transition écologique, Réseau de transport d’électricité, etc.). La plupart de ces exercices prospectifs mettaient en avant le fait que pour tenter de limiter le changement climatique à l’horizon de la fin du siècle, les évolutions techniques ne suffiraient pas, ou n’interviendraient pas assez tôt, et qu’il fallait résolument miser sur des changements de comportements, de modes de vie. En d’autres termes, inciter à la sobriété écologique, au plus vite, constitue un levier indispensable pour préserver les conditions de vie planétaire des générations futures. Pour ce faire, il est essentiel de pouvoir s’appuyer sur des indicateurs montrant où se situent les marges de manœuvre pour réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. C’est l’objectif de l’« empreinte carbone », qui mesure les émissions de tous les acteurs économiques, de manière assez précise. Dans cet article, Jérôme Boutang propose de regarder de manière plus détaillée l’empreinte carbone des Français telle qu’elle ressort d’une enquête qui les a interrogés sur leurs modes de vie et de consommation. Après avoir présenté la méthodologie et l’intérêt de cette enquête (qui part directement des comportements), il en détaille les grands enseignements : répartition de l’empreinte sur le territoire, par secteurs d’activité, caractéristiques socio-économiques (selon le niveau de revenu ou la profession), etc. Ce « profilage » détaillé permet ainsi de prendre conscience, à l’échelle individuelle, des gestes les plus émissifs et des actions possibles pour y remédier. Il permet également aux responsables politiques d’identifier les marges et leviers d’action pour développer des outils / incitations en faveur d’une plus grande sobriété collective. S.D.
Quelles frontières pour l’Ukraine ?
Authors: Drevet Jean-François
Published: March 2024

Mi-décembre 2023, dans un contexte de plus en plus difficile pour les Ukrainiens dans le conflit qui les oppose à la Russie sur leur sol, les États membres de l’Union européenne ont officiellement décidé d’ouvrir les négociations d’adhésion de l’Ukraine (et la Moldavie) à leur communauté. Accélérant un processus normalement bien plus long, l’Union envoie ainsi un signal fort, principalement à Moscou, quant à son soutien au gouvernement ukrainien et au refus de son révisionnisme territorial. Ce faisant, elle ouvre aussi une question épineuse s’agissant des frontières à prendre en compte pour le territoire ukrainien, dont certaines, par extension, seraient appelées à devenir les frontières extérieures de l’Union. Cette chronique de Jean-François Drevet examine cette question des frontières — leur définition, leur acceptation… —, à l’aune des évolutions historiques, de problèmes non encore résolus dans certains États membres ou pays candidats, des problématiques de l’autodétermination et des inquiétudes que cela peut engendrer en Europe. Si la construction européenne avait entre autres vocations celle d’abolir (autant que faire se peut) les différends territoriaux (et donc frontaliers) et y est plutôt bien parvenue, l’élargissement de l’Union vers l’est pourrait bien avoir l’effet inverse en attisant les débats (et les esprits) sur la définition des frontières — selon les choix qui seront opérés concernant celles de l’Ukraine.

La justice du roi de France vers l’an mil
Authors: Brunel Ghislain
Published: March 2024

Apprécier la justice royale sous les premiers Capétiens est malaisé, par suite du petit nombre d’archives qui ont traversé le temps dans les seuls chartriers des églises et des abbayes : douze diplômes ou préceptes datant d’Hugues Capet (987 à 996) et soixante datant de Robert le Pieux (996 à 1031). De fait, elles donnent du roi un idéal de justicier sans doute éloigné de la pratique de sa fonction de juge. Le souverain y apparaît comme le défenseur des églises et de leur patrimoine sacré. Il est le « prince de Dieu » rayonnant de piété, de miséricorde envers les voleurs et les conspirateurs, et de charité envers les pauvres, les orphelins et les veuves. Ces parchemins portent le monogramme du roi et son sceau dont la symbolique évolue. Les deux sceptres de Lothaire jusqu’à la main de justice et au globe d’Hugues Capet, tandis que le trône de majesté figure sur le sceau d’Henri I er . Les jugements royaux qui réapparaissent après un siècle d’oubli (cinq en quinze ans sous Robert le Pieux) sont rendus dans les palais royaux par un tribunal encore présidé par un comte du palais assisté d’évêques et de comtes appelés « principes » et d’experts judiciaires ou échevins. Hugues de Beauvais et Eudes IV, comtes de Blois et de Chartres, semblent les derniers à avoir exercé cette charge dans laquelle la justice tient une part importante. Les sanctions infligées sont l’amende, mais surtout l’excommunication et l’anathème. À la fin du régime de Robert le Pieux apparaît le serment, créateur d’obligations pour le condamné. Il est cependant difficile de suivre l’application des peines infligées. Le roi peut également déléguer la justice publique, comme le montre la concession qu’il fait peu après l’an mil du duel judiciaire à l’abbaye de Saint-Denis. La justice de l’an mil a su s’adapter à la situation politique et sociale de l’époque, tout en dynamisant la symbolique royale et la procédure d’une justice de miséricorde.
Les ordalies de l’an mil
Authors: Barthélemy Dominique
Published: March 2024

La pratique des ordalies de l’an mil se situe dans l’héritage des réformes judiciaires carolingiennes du IX e siècle, du recours aux exemples bibliques puisés dans l’Ancien Testament, en particulier les Psaumes, et dans l’exemple des martyrs auxquels Dieu a permis d’endurer leur supplice pour témoigner d’une cause juste. Dans un procès, elles font partie des leges , c’est-à-dire des preuves théoriquement décisives parce que sacrales, qui obligent à de lourdes amendes et que les parties comme les juges évitent en favorisant les négociations, les compositions et les pactes de compromis, garants d’une paix durable. Proposer l’ordalie dans le cadre d’un débat judiciaire ou ratio est pour l’accusateur comme pour le défendeur un ultime recours. Deux affaires civiles angevines et une affaire criminelle normande servent d’exemple. Dans tous les cas, les ordalies sont des épreuves de tension où le peuple entre plus ou moins fictivement dans la dramatisation nécessaire à la paix, aux côtés du clergé. Ce ne sont pas des preuves irrationnelles imposées à un peuple crédule : elles se déroulent de façon subtile et elles participent de la négociation, une négociation où le sacré intervient tel qu’il se définit en l’an mil et tel qu’il se manifeste aussi, mais de façon différente, par le serment ou le duel.
Rationalité et irrationalité des procédures autour de l’an mil : le duel judiciaire en Italie
Authors: Bougard François
Published: March 2024

La preuve par le duel judiciaire se répand en Italie aux X e -XI e siècles pour les causes civiles. En 967, une loi de l’empereur Otton I er favorise cette évolution, en offrant la possibilité de contre-attaquer un serment par le duel en cas de litiges fonciers et mobiliers. Il s’agit de prévenir le parjure et d’exalter la sacralité du serment qui s’est banalisé, du fait même de la ritualisation de l’enquête carolingienne. L’usage du duel ne s’oppose pas à celui du droit romain, comme le montrent de nombreux exemples empruntés aux monastères italiens d’Italie occidentale, ce qui laisse à penser que les praticiens savent combiner plusieurs droits pour régler les conflits sans s’attacher à d’éventuelles contradictions. Il faut attendre le milieu du XI e siècle pour que s’expriment les premières manifestations d’hostilité à l’égard de ce mode de preuve en matière civile, tandis qu’il continue d’être reconnu en matière criminelle. À ce moment, les puissants en revendiquent aussi l’usage exclusif et l’intègrent à la culture nobiliaire. Il n’est pas sûr que les duels aient tous été effectivement livrés ; dans de nombreux cas, les récits de duels livrés n’ont pas été conservés et seule subsiste la mémoire du droit pour lequel ils ont servi de preuve. L’interprétation difficile des sources oblige l’historien à la prudence, mais il peut conclure qu’il existe bien un moment européen du duel, après celui de l’enquête carolingienne, et que ce mode de preuve est un outil du droit qui ne relève ni de l’irrationnel ni d’une dégradation de la justice publique.
L’économie mixte et l’aménagement urbain
Authors: Frétigny Raphaël
Published: March 2024

La Caisse des dépôts et consignations (CDC) a créé en 1955 la Société centrale d’équipement du territoire (SCET), filiale spécialisée dans le service aux Sociétés d’économie mixte (SEM). Cette filiale a joué un rôle majeur dans le développement des SEM dans les années 1960-70 dans le cadre de la politique des grands ensembles. Si la SCET a été un acteur-clé d’une politique très centralisée, la société a également soutenu l’autonomisation des pouvoirs locaux, surtout dans les années 1970. En prenant notamment appui sur le cas de Nantes, cet article explique ce paradoxe en distinguant d’une part le rôle opérationnel de la SCET et d’autre part les circuits de financements que la CDC met à la disposition de sa filiale et des SEM. La libéralisation progressive des circuits de financement du développement urbain à partir du milieu des années 1960 a poussé la SCET à développer des dynamiques partenariales avec les pouvoirs locaux. Ce cas montre ainsi le poids des dynamiques financières dans les mutations de l’économie mixte et de la gouvernance urbaine en France.
L’économie mixte et l’aménagement urbain
Authors: Idt Joël
Published: March 2024

Les Entreprises Publiques Locales (EPL) ont été des acteurs clefs de l’aménagement urbain en France tout au long de la seconde moitié du xx e siècle. Cet article met en évidence leurs principales évolutions dans la période plus récente, depuis le début des années 2000. À partir d’entretiens et d’un travail documentaire, nous retraçons les grandes tendances de recomposition de ces entreprises, avec en particulier la création des Sociétés Publiques Locales (SPL) aux cotés des anciennes Sociétés d’Économie Mixte (SEM). Nous montrons que les évolutions de ces structures ont été marquées par un fort décloisonnement entre l’amont (la planification urbaine et l’aménagement) et l’aval (la construction et la gestion) de la filière. Nous montrons enfin que les transformations des Entreprises Publiques Locales reflètent la montée en puissance des dynamiques de structuration intercommunale sur la période, en même temps qu’elles restent paradoxalement des outils aux mains des maires pour contrôler l’aménagement de leur commune.
L’économie mixte et l’aménagement urbain

Le privilège donné par les historiens des techniques à la singularité de l’objet horloger a amené l’historiographie à voir dans l’horlogerie privée le moteur de la diffusion du temps mécanique à l’époque moderne, masquant les modes d’acquisition majoritaires de l’heure, dont les horloges de rue. Cet article entend interroger la géographie, la disponibilité et la gestion de celles-ci à Paris aux xvii e et xviii e siècles. En se fondant sur les archives des fabriques de paroisses, il argue que la production de l’information horaire ordinaire relève davantage de logiques pratiques de pouvoirs politiques locaux que d’un cadre technique et normatif. Les horloges de rue produisent une géographie signalétique et sont marquées par l’économie des fabriques qui en délèguent longtemps la gestion aux bedeaux et sacristains. Une approche urbaine de l’heure permet de concevoir sa relation à l’espace local, sa valeur signalétique pour des corps politiques concurrents, et rappelle que les vingt-quatre heures du jour, loin de former un cadre de vie anhistorique, sont le produit d’actions en société.

Enhancing Metacognitive and Creativity Skills through AI-Driven Meta-Learning Strategies
Authors: Khusnul Khotimah  , Rusijono  , Andi Mariono
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the efficacy of a meta-learning approach in improving metacognitive and creative skills. This quantitative study focused on an experimental group using a onegroup pretest-posttest research design. All participants underwent a pretest to assess their initial metacognitive abilities and were subsequently exposed to a meta-learning framework throughout the course. A post-test was conducted to assess the impact of the intervention. The findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in metacognitive skills from the pretest to the post-test. This study confirms the effectiveness of meta-learning strategies and elucidates the relationship between meta-learning and metacognition. Meta-learning enables students to comprehend their own learning processes, thereby improving their capacity to strategize, oversee, and control their cognitive functions with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). This approach incorporates creative elements that can stimulate metacognitive thinking, encouraging students to adjust their learning strategies and think outside the box. This research suggests that meta-learning can improve metacognitive abilities, providing valuable insights into educational technology and course design in higher education settings.

Technology is an inseparable part of a business enterprise since it influences its processes, structure, and strategies. The paradigm shift in terms of cloud computing, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) has paved the way for the next wave of digital economy termed as Business 5.0. Apart from business model disruption, artificial intelligence has impacted the most vital of resources – the human resource. The questions of morality and ethics are not new to the digital revolution, be it business processes or web-based social networks. The chapter aims to unearth the ethical challenges inherent in an AI-powered performance management system, with particular reference to Asia. It identifies how data-driven decisions on employee performance may be replete with serious ethical fallout and fail to provide holistic performance measurement. Despite the advantages, a lack of the human element occurs as the manager assumes the role of a moderator.

Published: March 2024

This chapter addresses three pivotal questions: 1) Why prioritize upskilling and reskilling within the Turkish workforce, given evolving opportunities and challenges? 2) To what extent are qualifications conducive to a seamless transition, considering emerging opportunities and challenges? 3) Can the Danish Flexicurity Model be applied for upskilling and reskilling initiatives in Turkey? By addressing these questions, this study evaluates the necessity for upskilling and reskilling, assesses qualification readiness, explores the applicability of the Danish Flexicurity Model, and proposes strategies for enhancement. The broader finding of the study is that due to structural problems, such as a weaker welfare state and chronic unemployment in the Turkish labor market, it is not possible to adopt Danish flexicurity for technological advancement in Turkey. Additionally, in terms of the main skills required for technological advancement, Turkey lags far behind the OECD average and Denmark in areas such as math, science, and reading.

Negative Consumer Engagement via Food Delivery Applications
Authors: Varughese Nikita Mariam , Thomas Mary Rani
Published: March 2024

The traits of Generation Z are notable for how they define and reshape themselves in the 21st century. The current study investigates the factors that Generation Z users consider when deciding on a food application. The respondents in the current study were divided into working and nonworking groups, and the results imply that since college students are still supported financially by their parents or guardians, their main concerns are higher discounts, prices, and quantities. An in-depth and semi-structured questionnaire was addressed to both groups of 15 respondents belonging to Generation Z. The stakeholders who would benefit from this research would primarily be online delivery restaurants, food application developers, academic researchers, and Generation Z cohorts.

Reduction of Surface Cracking for Al-4.6%Mg Strips Cast Surface Using an Unequal-Diameter Twin-Roll Caster by Back-Dam Plate with Lip
Authors: Haga Toshio , Yamazaki Kazuki , Watari Hisaki , Nishida Shinichi
Published: March 2024

Cracks occur on the surface of Al-Mg strips cast using a high-speed twin-roll caster. Surface cracking of the as-cast strip decreases with decreasing roll load. However, the difficulty of roll casting increases as the roll load is decreased because the strip becomes brittle and is easily broken because the strip is not completely solidified. In the present study, an unequal-diameter twin-roll caster, which is capable of high-speed casting, was used with a lip attached to a back-dam plate in an attempt to decrease surface cracking without deceasing the roll load. The thickness of the solidified layer was found to decrease as the length of the solidified region decreased. The thickness of the solidified layer at the center of the width direction of a strip on the lower roll decreased by shortening the solidification length by a lip attached to a back dam-plate. The solidified layer at the edges was thicker than that inside the cast strip. The thickness of semisolid metal inside the cast strip increased more than that at the edges of the roll bite. The roll load at the width of the lip decreased. The effect of the lip length on surface cracks was investigated.

Published: March 2024

A high entropy Ni-Al-Ti-Mn-Co-Fe-Cr alloy (HEA) system was fabricated using spark plasma sintering (SPS). The alloys at different elemental compositions were developed at a sintering temperature of 850 °C, a heating rate of 90 °C/min, a pressure of 50 MPa, and a dwelling time of 5 min. The sintered alloys' mechanical characteristics, microstructure, phase evolution, and density were assessed. The evolved microstructure of the sintered HEAs shows a homogenous dispersion of the alloying metals. The sintered microstructures showed a mixture of simple and complex phases. The phase refinement shows that the sintered HEAs exhibited a lower and the least grain size of 2.28 µm compared to the Ni50Al50 alloy having 8.26 µm. Likewise, a higher micro-strain value of 1.25E-1 was attained by the non-equal atomic HEA, while the unalloyed has 1.87E-3. The microhardness value of the sintered alloys varied from 103.5 HV to 139.2 HV, while their measured density varied from 5.23 g/cm3 to 6.44 g/cm3.
