Predicting WSN packet loss using machine learning: Applications in solid surroundings
Authors: Salim Muhammed Sabri , Sabri Naseer , Dheyab Ali Abdul Rahman
Published: January 2025

The effectiveness of wireless communication systems exposed to radio propagation in their environment is shown by path loss, a key performance metric. For a long time, researchers have used the correlations they proposed to calculate route loss for waves moving across different environments with few operational factors. To swap out the log-normal shadowing model for route loss calculation on concrete surfaces, this study presents a new model based on weights of artificial neural networks. In the training phase, the neural network was provided the data of the physical separation between the transmitters and receivers of the wireless sensor nodes (d) and the radial angle of the reception node's position (Ϙ) as the target variable, path loss. Then, by utilizing the weights of the network, a novel PL prediction formula was developed. When tested across all ranges of experimental data, this formula outperforms the log-normal shadowing model, the FSPL model, and the Two-Ray model in predicting the average PL in concrete surfaces, with mean absolute deviation values of 0.51%, 4.1%, 40.58%, and 28.79%, respectively.
Analysis of the Well-posedness of a SEIRDS Dynamic Model for the Spread of Infectious Diseases
Authors: KAMBELE Siaka , SOMA Safimba , GUIRO Aboudramane
Published: January 2025

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the well-posedness of a nonlinear parabolic reaction-diffusion system modeling the spread of infectious diseases. The considered mathematical model is of the SEIRDS type. We prove the global existence of a weak solution by using an approximation system with a delay operator λ^τ (which we define in the subsection 3.1) , along with a priori estimates and compactness arguments. Additionally, we establish the uniqueness of the solution and its continuous dependence on the contagion rates using Gronwall's lemma. These results not only show the existence of a solution but also ensure that it is unique and responds stably to variations in the model parameters.

Paneth cells (PCs) are specialized epithelial cells located at the base of the crypts of Lieberkühn in the small intestine and colon, that have been occasionally identified in colorectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas. Their presence in these lesions has raised questions regarding their role in colorectal neoplasia and their potential association with adenoma burden. To understand their potential role in carcinogenesis, we conducted an extensive review of the available literature on PubMed, focusing on the occurrence, molecular mechanisms, and implications of Paneth cells in neoplastic lesions of the colorectum. This review synthesizes current findings and discusses the potential of Paneth cells as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in colorectal cancer.
الاحزاب السياسية في العراق ودورها في حماية الحريات السياسية
Authors: كاظم جواد ستار , مؤيد جاسم عماد , عدنان عبدالله بلاسم
Published: January 2025

الحريات السياسية نشاط سياسي يركز على دور ومشاركة المواطنين في النظام السياسي والتأثير في عملية صنع القرار السياسي. وتعكس الحريات السياسية قدرة المواطنين على المشاركة في ادارة الشؤون العامة من خلال الدوائر والمؤسسات الحكومية الرسمية وخصوصا غير الرسمية خصوصا الاحزاب السياسية وان هذه سمة بارزة من سمات الدول الحديثة والتي تستهدف الاستقرار والتنمية السياسية والتعامل السلمي والديمقراطي مع المشاكل والمعوقات والازمات. ان اشاعة وانتشار الحريات السياسية امر مفروغ منه وحاسم لا بل يطرح نفسه وخصوصا بعد التغيير في عام (2003) في العراق. لأنه يرتبط بجوانب اخرى والتي تشكل مصدر قلق للسلطات الحاكمة والمواطنين في الوقت نفسه، وتشكل وتعكس هذه الحريات نشاطا متعدد المستويات للتوعية في المجتمع، كما انها تشكل جوهر ونواة الديمقراطية والتي تحدد الاطار الايديولوجي والمؤسسي والاجرائي لتحقيقها، لغرض الوصول الى حقيقة مؤداها، لا توجد ديموقراطية بدون وجود احزاب سياسية ولا توجد احزاب سياسية دون وجود ديموقراطية.بعد عام (2003) انعكس الوضع على ظهور كم من الاحزاب السياسية ذات التوجهات المختلفة وشيوع حالة من الممارسة السياسية والتي تمثلت بأجراء دورات انتخابية متكررة. من هنا من الضرورة بمكان توفير غطاء وحماية وضمانة لهذه الحريات.
دور القضاء الدستوري في حماية حقوق الافراد في مجال الامن القانوني في ظل دستور جمهورية العراق لعام 2005
Authors: طه شهاب احمد عمار , فاضل حسين احمد
Published: January 2025

يعتبر حق الافراد في الامن القانوني من الحقوق الحديثة التي عرفتها الدول المتطورة، ولأهميته في استقرار العلاقات ما بين الفرد والدولة من جهة والفرد بالفرد من جهة اخرى، فكان لزاماً على السلطات العامة في الدولة التقييد به عند ممارسة اختصاصاتها المنصوص عليها في الدستور، فالقاعدة القانونية قد تصدر بعد مرورها بإجراءات شكلية وموضوعية وبالتالي تطبيقها على الاشخاص المخاطبين بها، لكن هذه القاعدة القانونية قد تكون مخالفة للنصوص الدستورية فيكون امام المتضرر منها الطعن بها امام المحكمة الاتحادية العليا عبر اجراءات واليات حددها الدستور والقوانين والنظام الداخلي لها، فقد بحثنا في تلك الاجراءات والاليات بما تحقق للأفراد الامن القانوني، لان سهولة الاجراءات هذه تؤدي الى بزوغ قرارات اكثر وضوحاً واستقراراً تنعكس بالإيجاب على الحكم الصادر في الدعوى، وتناولنا ايضاً الحكم الصادر عن الدعوى الدستورية فوجدنا ان احكام المحكمة قد تباينت بين الغاء القانون الغير دستوري والامتناع عن تطبيقه، وقد ارتأينا بان تكون احكام المحكمة بالامتناع عن تطبيق القانون وذلك من خلال اغلبية خاصة ويترك امر الغائه الى السلطة التشريعية ونشر ذلك الحكم في الجريدة الرسمية كونه اكثر ضمانة لحق الافراد في الامن القانوني.

ان البشرية حالياً تقف عند مفترق طرق فيما يتعلق بحماية النظام البيئي، أذ تشير الادلة العلمية الى ان انبعاث الغازات الدفيئة وتدمير النظم الايكولوجية سيكون لها عواقب كارثية على بيئتنا المشتركة فعلى الرغم من التطور المحرز في مجال القانون الدولي البيئي، لكنه لم يصل الى اعتراف القانون الدولي الجنائي بهذا الخطر وتجريمه، فبالتالي يمكن ان يعزا تدمير النظام البيئي والاضرار به الى الطبيعة الأنثروبولوجيا للقانون الدولي الجنائي. و ظهرت جهود دولية لتجريم التدمير البيئي، متمثلة بورقة السياسات المقدمة من مكتب المدعي العام للمحكمة الجنائية الدولية لعام 2016، و الجهود الفقهية التي تدفع باتجاه اضافة جريمة الابادة البيئية كجريمة خامسة في اطار الجرائم التي تختص بها المحكمة الجنائية الدولية
Disnea: agudización asmática grave
Authors: Alonso Morales Filomena
Published: January 2025

Podemos identificar la crisis asmática como el aumento de los síntomas, la necesidad de medicación de alivio y el empeoramiento de la función pulmonar.
Los síntomas clínicos de sospecha son: sibilantes (el más característico), disnea o dificultad respiratoria, tos y opresión torácica.
Es importante conocer el volumen espiratorio forzado en 1 segundo (FEV1) y el flujo espiratorio máximo (PEF) del paciente para poder clasificar adecuadamente el tipo de crisis que presenta.
Es importante adiestrar a los pacientes asmáticos en el uso del peak flow.
El diagnóstico diferencial principalmente se debe rea­lizar con la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC).
El primer paso para un buen diagnóstico es una buena anamnesis.
El tratamiento en la crisis asmática debe comenzar, con independencia del lugar en el que se atienda al paciente, con un SABA (Short acting beta agonists: betaagonistas de acción corta) y glucocorticoides inhalados (GCI).

Machinability studies on metal additive manufactured 316L stainless steel using electrochemical machine
Authors: Natarajan Rajan , Kanagaraj Shanmugapriyan , Palaniappan Thangavel , Dhanaskodi Deepa
Published: January 2025

Metal additive manufactured 316L stainless steel is considered for machinability studies through electrochemical machining (ECM). This material is used in prototyping in the automotive, aerospace, jewellery and biomedical industries, where customized components for individual circumstances are required. In this study, ECM process parameters such as voltage, electrolyte concentration, duty cycle, and selection of an L16 orthogonal array sing four levels were considered for optimization. The multi-criteria decision machining method, namely entropy-based multi-objective optimization, is used for performance analysis based on the ratio analysis method. The study reveals that 14 V, 35 g l-1 NaNO3 electrolyte concen¬tration, and 90 % duty cycle are recommended for optimal machining performance. Accord¬ing to the main effect table, the best combination is 16 V, 35 g l-1 electrolyte concentration, and 60 % duty cycle. Analysis of variance result shows that the duty cycle accounts for approximately 27.06 1% of machining performance, voltage contributes by 24.015 % and electrolyte content contributes roughly 15.58 % to the machining performance. A scanning electron microscope was used to scan each micromachined hole, and different resolution images were taken in order to analyse the machined hole quality.
Impuesto a los consumos especiales (ICE) y su impacto en la venta de aguardiente de caña de la compañía Embotelladora Licorera Manabí S.A. CEILMACA
Authors: Cedeño-Cedeño Jahaira Katerine , Zambrano-Intriago María Marjorie
Published: January 2025

En Ecuador se han dado varios cambios relacionados con los tributos, para obtener mayores recursos económicos, sin embargo, esto no ha sido del todo beneficioso para los comerciantes ya que ha limitado su nivel de competitividad entre empresas, especialmente aquellas que deben pagar el Impuesto a los Consumos Especiales (ICE). Por tanto, este artículo se basó en determinar el impacto del pago del impuesto a los consumos especiales (ICE) en la venta de aguardiente de caña de la Compañía Embotelladora Licorera Manabí S.A. CEILMACA, durante el periodo 2019-2021. Para lo cual se desarrolló una investigación no experimental, de alcance descriptivo-explicativo y de enfoque mixto, donde se consideró como muestra la totalidad de 6 colaboradores más antiguos de la empresa, a quienes se aplicó una entrevista. Además, se realizó una revisión documental de la información financiera publicada en la Superintendencia de Compañías. Los resultados relacionados con la información financiera muestran que el nivel de ventas en el año 2021 incrementó el 100% y el ICE generado representó el 14% del total de los ingresos obtenidos en la venta de aguardiente, por otra parte, la rentabilidad de la empresa en año 2019 donde hubo un mayor pago del ICE fue menor en relación a los otros años donde se paga menor impuesto. Se concluye que, la disminución o aumento de las tarifas del ICE inciden en el precio de venta al público, niveles de venta y en la rentabilidad que genera la empresa.

Published: January 2025

The study analyses differences in the quality of neighbourhood equipment between socialist (old) and post-socialist (new) large housing estates in Croatia and Slovenia. A total of 2,193 participants from the four largest cities in Croatia (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, and Osijek) and the two largest cities in Slovenia (Ljubljana and Maribor) were surveyed in 2022. Satisfaction with neighbourhood equipment was evaluated based on the following aspects of the housing estate: accessibility of primary and secondary services and facilities as well as overall satisfaction with the estate. Residents, regardless of the country, Croatia or Slovenia, and the type of estate, were generally satisfied with all key aspects of the housing estates. The results also indicated a generally higher urbanistic standard in both types of estates in Slovenia compared to those in Croatia. Furthermore, indicators of satisfaction with neighbourhood equipment generally demonstrated weak correlations with residents’ individual characteristics – gender, age, tenure, and length of residence in the estate. In accordance with the initial assumption, socialist estates were not rated worse overall compared to post-socialist housing estates.
Patrones de desigualdad de la vivienda en Ecuador
Authors: Alcaciega Guanín Bryan Wilfrido , Rivera Armijo Lupe Cecibel , Yela Burgos Roger Tomas
Published: January 2025

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal analizar los patrones de desigualdad en el acceso y la calidad de la vivienda en Ecuador, evaluando sus causas, distribución geográfica y condiciones socioeconómicas asociadas, con el fin de proponer recomendaciones de políticas públicas orientadas a reducir estas disparidades de manera inclusiva y sostenible. La investigación, de enfoque cuantitativo y alcance descriptivo, utiliza datos actualizados del Censo Nacional 2022 para analizar el acceso a la vivienda, los servicios básicos y su relación con el acceso a bienes y servicios TIC, encontrando que las provincias con mayor densidad poblacional, como Guayas y Pichincha, concentran la mayor cantidad de viviendas con acceso a estos servicios, mientras que provincias amazónicas como Napo, Orellana y Zamora Chinchipe presentan un acceso considerablemente menor, evidenciando disparidades significativas entre las regiones urbanas y rurales del país, que se correlacionan estrechamente con las desigualdades en el acceso a las tecnologías de la información y comunicación. Estos patrones de desigualdad en la disponibilidad de bienes y servicios TIC a nivel provincial, evidenciados en el análisis del Censo Nacional 2021, es claro que esta brecha digital refleja y perpetúa las profundas desigualdades socioeconómicas que persisten en Ecuador, lo que sugiere la necesidad de un enfoque integral de políticas públicas que aborden de manera simultánea estas problemáticas para promover la equidad territorial y el desarrollo sostenible en todo el país.

Authors: Agbeyinka Ibrahim Yinka
Published: January 2025

The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of corporate social responsibility on bank’s performance in Nigeria. The ex-post-facto research design was adopted, and the study focused on selected banks. A yearly panel series data from 2007-2016 were sourced from the banks’ annual reports and Nigerian Exchange Group. The data was subjected to panel regression analysis to estimate the parameters of the model. The findings revealed that CSR have a significant and positive impact on net profit margin, suggesting that firms actively engaged in corporate social responsibility initiatives tend to experience better profitability. The analysis also shows a negative relationship between corporate social responsibility and earnings per share, indicating that corporate social responsibility may contribute to long-term value creation. Firm size emerges as a crucial factor in determining financial performance. Larger firms generally enjoy higher returns on equity and are more efficient in utilizing their assets to generate returns. The study concluded that the dual-edged nature of corporate social responsibility engagement, where the benefits to profitability and long-term value must be balanced against the potential short-term financial drawbacks. The study therefore recommended that firms should strategically integrate corporate social responsibility initiatives with their core business objectives to maximize the positive impact on profitability. firms should carefully evaluate the timing and scale of their corporate social responsibility investments. Firms should focus on streamlining operations to prevent the erosion of net profit margins. This can be achieved by adopting advanced technologies, optimizing supply chains, and reducing unnecessary overhead costs. Banks should establish clear metrics for evaluating the success of their corporate social responsibility programs, regularly review their impact on financial performance, and adjust as needed to maintain a balance between social responsibility and profitability.

End-users perspective matters in ADAS: designing a blind-spot alert system from a user-centered approach

The number of traffic accidents involving motorcycles has been increasing in Brazil recently. Many accidents are caused by drivers who do not see motorcycles approaching in the vehicle blind spots. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) installed in vehicles can be used to mitigate this problem. However, the development of ADASs often focuses on security issues and does not consider the user experience with the ADASs interface. In this paper, we present the design of an alerting system that warns drivers about collision risks when motorcycles are identified in vehicle blind spots. Our proposal alerts drivers by using visual and haptic interaction modes. In line with a user-centered design methodology, our initial action involved identifying the traits of the target users in order to create personas that embody their characteristics. The vehicle blind spot alert system was conceived in a co-design session using the personas elaborated previously. In the session, 9 end-users produced 3 low-fidelity (lo-fi) prototypes which were analyzed and compiled generating a single lo-fi prototype. After promoting a viability discussion, a high-fidelity (hi-fi) prototype containing haptic and visual alerting features was implemented and installed in a car for testing. The alert system was evaluated by 20 end-users concerning their experience with the different warning modes. The results showed that for both the visual and haptic modes, users could recognize and understand the alerts without employing a great effort in the information interpretation. This result reinforces the idea that ADASs should provide simple interpretative interfaces because drivers' interaction with these systems should be a secondary activity since their concentration must be on driving.
The Power of the Whole

This is a book about ourselves, and our world, but it is also a book about, and for education. Education is undergoing constant scrutiny – as it should. But what makes, or made, an education successful is too often left behind in the shadows when we focus too closely on what we think should be in the spotlight. It is the author’s belief that we are entering a period of time when re-looking at how these things interact and intersect will be pertinent to their and our success.
Historical Dictionary of United States-Caribbean Relations
Authors: Braveboy-Wagner Jacqueline , Griffin Clifford
Published: January 2025

The relationship between the world’s largest power and the small nations of the Caribbean has been and remains rich and varied. The history of political and security collaboration is long, if not untroubled: the United States is the Caribbean’s predominant trade and investment partner, and U.S. culture is as pervasive in the region as are U.S. goods. At the same time, the proximity, smallness, and economic dependence of these countries have all contributed to a tendency for the United States to seek to dominate the region, often enough by resort to hard power. From the nineteenth century through the Cold War, the United States has resorted to military interventions and coercive diplomacy to ensure that this region, so close to its shores, remains stable and friendly.

The Historical Dictionary of United States-Caribbean Relations contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.

The Great Chinese Art Transfer
Authors: St. Clair Michael
Published: January 2025

This book tells the story of how and why millions of Chinese works of art got exported to collectors and institutions in the West, in particular to the United States. As China’s last dynasty was weakening and collapsing from 1860 into the early years of the twentieth century, China’s internal chaos allowed imperial and private Chinese collections to be scattered, looted and sold. A remarkable and varied group of Westerners entered the country, had their eyes opened to centuries of Chinese creativity and gathered up paintings, bronzes and ceramics, as well as sculptures, jades and bronzes.

The migration to America and Europe of China’s art is one of the greatest outflows of a culture’s artistic heritage in human history. A good deal of the art procured by collectors and dealers, some famous and others little known but all remarkable in individual ways, eventually wound up in American and European museums. Today some of the art still in private hands is returning to China via international auctions and aggressive purchases by Chinese millionaires.
