ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФОРМУВАННЯ УРЯДІВ В УКРАЇНІ І КРАЇНАХ БАЛТІЇ (1991–2004 РР.): ПОЛІТИКО-ПРАВОВИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: Войтенко Юрій Миколайович
Published: September 2023

Дана стаття відображає особливості формування урядів в Україні і країнах Балтії у перший період їх незалежності. У цій статті показано призначення прем’єр-міністрів, які очолювали уряди в зазначених країнах. Окремої уваги приділено політичній та правовій складовій щодо призначення прем’єр-міністра і складу уряду. В статті зазначається, що саме в ухвалених незалежними державами конституціях були закладені механізми формування урядів та визначено їх функції і відповідальності. Саме в прийнятих парламентами конституціях містилися системи балансів влади за якими визначається форма державного правління. Якщо Естонія і Латвія обрала для своєї політичної системи парламентську форму правління, то Україна і Литва – змішану. При цьому, країни Балтії після проголошення відновлення незалежності своїх держав одразу заклали у нових конституціях таку форму правління, то Україна це зробила у своєму Основному законі значно пізніше. Українці пройшли певну еволюцію у своєму творенні конституційної моделі, адже перша каденція парламенту не змогла її ухвалити. Лише друге скликання Верховної Ради України, у співпраці з обраним президентом, змогли знайти компроміс та затвердити Основний закону у якому було визначено особливості формування, функціонування і підпорядкування уряду. Після чіткого закріплення цього механізму у конституціях зазначених держав, відбувалося призначення та усунення як самих прем’єр-міністрів, так і всього складу уряду. Окрім інституційної складової у правовому полі цих держав щодо формування та відсторонення урядів, вагоме місце займала політична складова. Адже саме після обрання парламентів і формування у них більшостей у вигляді коаліцій політичних фракцій, давало можливість формувати уряди у Литві, Латвії і Естонії. В Україні ж урядова вертикаль, після ухвалення Конституції, призначалася президентом, хоч і за згодою парламенту щодо призначення Прем’єр-міністра. Парламент в Україні не мав рівноправного з президентом впливу на уряд, тому вибори до Верховної Ради не впливало на його склад і функціонування. В статті відображено призначення і строки перебування очільників урядів у кожній з зазначених держав протягом вказаного періоду.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ РОЗВИТКУ ОБОРОННО-ПРОМИСЛОВОГО КОМПЛЕКСУ УКРАЇНИ ПІСЛЯ ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ НЕЗАЛЕЖНОСТІ (1990-ТІ РОКИ)
Authors: Звонко Ірина Михайлівна
Published: September 2023

У статті проаналізовано основні напрямки діяльності оборонно-промислового комплексу (ОПК) України після відновлення незалежності в 1991 році. З’ясовано, що на формування оборонної галузі впливало низка чинників, серед яких можна виокремити перехід від планових принципів управління економікою до ринкових, зміну методів керівництва, несформовану нормативно-правову базу, розрив замкнених циклів виробництва. Зокрема, розглянуто причини невдалої конверсії ОПК, яка полягала в переорієнтації діяльності оборонних підприємств і науково-дослідних інститутів на виробництво цивільної продукції. Зазначено, що однією з основних помилок у реструктуризації промисловості ОПК шляхом конверсії була недооцінка комплексності та системності цього заходу. Поряд з тим окреслено особливості експортної діяльності оборонних підприємств за умов погіршення фінансово-економічного стану оборонної галузі загалом. Виокремлено чинники, що суттєво гальмували розвиток експортної діяльності. Доведено, що національна система експортного контролю України тривалий час не мала дієвих нормативно-правових актів та механізмів регулювання експорту товарів потенційного військового застосування, технологій і подвійного використання. Лише в 1997–1998 роках закладено відповідну нормативну-правову базу у галузі експортного контролю. Підкреслено, що в історії незалежної України було кілька спроб створити ефективну систему управління оборонно-промисловим комплексом шляхом створення Державного комітету України по оборонній промисловості і машинобудуванню, а згодом Міністерства машинобудування, військово-промислового комплексу та конверсії.
Relação de dependência entre matriz-subsidiárias e o desempenho financeiro de corporações multinacionais
Authors:   , Teixeira André Luiz
Published: September 2023

Corporate University and Sustainability are contemporary themes, present in organizations with bigger emphasis since the 21st century. However, they seem to run parallel, with a few interaction with each other. Apparently there is a detachment that makes a connection between them impossible. On the one hand, the Corporate University aims to promote the continuous, active and flexible education of employees and stakeholders, focusing on the development of essential competencies that guarantee the fulfillment of organizational strategies, generating sustainable competitive advantages. On the other hand, Sustainability is know as a value, a relevant component present in the organizational strategy, that can be found in the mission statements, vision and values of organizations. Given this scenario, it is expected that the Corporate Universities will act in order to promote sustainability education at all organizational levels, as well as the existence of dialogues, joint actions and even models of action involving these themes. However, there are a few works that demonstrate the interaction of these themes. This work intends to investigate how this interaction happens in practice, in the day by day of Corporate Universities. Through a qualitative research, semi structured interviews were conducted with 16 managers of Corporate Universities present in the state of São Paulo, belonging to organizations from different sectors of action, with the objectives of understanding how sustainability education works, to investigate the existence of specific models that make this education feasible and of identifying the barriers and challenges related to sustainability education. The results show that although Sustainability is considered a strategic component, present in the organizational discourse, there are practically no educational actions and / or specific models for education sustainability. The barriers found refer to the lack of a culture of effective Sustainability in organizations, to the lack of knowledge of the theme at different hierarchical levels, and to the fact that in many organizations, knowledge is found in specific departments of Sustainability. By assigning sustainability education exclusively to the Sustainability department, this learning ends up being fragmented and punctual because it is not directly related to the strategy. Thus, the main challenge is the construction of a collaborative dialogue between the Corporate Universities and the Sustainability departments, which will facilitate Sustainability education in order to meet the organizational strategy

Authors: Tešić Ksenija , Baričević Ana , Serdar Marijana
Published: September 2023

The condition assessment of structures using the non-destructive ground penetrating radar (GPR) method is based on the analysis of the strength, sign and shape of the signal reflected from the objects under the examined surface. Therefore, it is used for locating reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures, determining the type and structure of structural elements, evaluating the corrosion of reinforcement, etc. This paper presents the applicability of the GPR method for locating reinforcement and determining the geometry of structural elements, as well as the study of the sensitivity of the GPR signal to chloride-induced corrosion parameters.

Authors: Lovrić Vranković Jelena , Boko Ivica , Uzelac Glavinić Ivana
Published: September 2023

This paper presents the application of selected models in order to determine the creep behavior of glued laminated timber beams (glulam) made from European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) and loaded with a constant force during a period of three months. The selected models are the 'power law', Norton-Bailey, and Burger's model. The investigations were performed in the Construction Laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy in Split. Four-point bending tests were performed on glulam beams with an applied load level of 30% of the maximum force obtained from previously conducted short-term tests. The comparison was made between the coefficients of determination obtained in Matlab for each model. It can be concluded that all three of the selected models can be successfully applied in order to describe the creep behavior of glulam beams under long-term loading.
Numerical calculations for fluid-structure interaction
Authors: Bakica Andro
Published: September 2023

In this work, a numerical fluid-structure interaction model is briefly presented. Fundamental differences between their mathematical models require the development of a separate interface whose function is to connect the loads applied by the fluid flow and the stresses exhibited by the structure. This paper is focused on two main types of interactions: quasi-static (one-way) and dynamic (two-way). The quasi-static approach links the fluid pressure field, i.e. loading with the structural model, while the dynamic approach includes both the structural motions inside the fluid domain and the structural inertia. The numerical fluid model is based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with finite volume discretization, and the software used for the study is the open-source framework OpenFOAM. For the structural model, a wellknown finite element method is employed using the solver NASTRAN. The interface between the two programs is developed using the programming language C++.

Authors: Dželalija Mia , Kvesić Marija , Maravić Ana
Published: September 2023

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is an opportunistic pathogen among the highest global priorities regarding public and environmental health. Following the One Health approach, we determined for the first time the antibiotic resistance and virulence genes and sequence type (ST) affiliation of VREfm recovered simultaneously from marine beach waters, the submarine outfall of a wastewater treatment plant and untreated discharge of sewage into the sea. Importantly, VREfm recovered from wastewater and coastal bathing waters shared similar virulence, multidrug resistance and ST profiles, posing a major threat to public health. All isolates carried the vanA gene, aminoglycoside-resistance genes aac(6')-Ieaph(2'')-Ia, and aph(2'')-Ib and aph(2'')-Id. The hyl gene was the most prevalent virulence gene. The isolates belonged to 10 STs of the CC17 clonal complex, a major epidemic lineage associated with hospital-acquired infections and outbreaks, with ST117 and ST889 common to waterborne and hospital isolates, suggesting their sewage-driven dissemination.
Variability of expected annual damage as flood risk indicator
Authors: Kekez Toni
Published: September 2023

River floods are considered to be one of the most significant natural disasters, causing considerable damage each year. Risk assessment, as well as efficient risk management, are key aspects for the mitigation of flood-related consequences. The most common approach for quantifying flood risk is to estimate the expected annual damage, which combines the probability of occurrence and the associated damage. However, the concept of expected annual damage is considered a risk-neutral solution that maximizes economic efficiency. This paper analyzed the variability of expected annual damage as a risk indicator. The goal was to demonstrate the relationship between the expected annual damage and the values of the relative annual damage caused by different flood scenarios. The results showed a high probability of exceeding the expected annual damage. Furthermore, due to the notable asymetry of the annual distribution of damage, the impact of low-probability flood scenarios with large damage is significant. Finally, future conditions such as climate change and urbanization will have a strong impact on the annual distribution of damage.

IMPLICAÇÕES SOCIOAMBIENTAIS DA MINERAÇÃO ARTESANAL DO OURO NAS COMUNIDADES LOCAIS -
Authors: PASCOAL FIRMINO HILÁRIO , Bata Eduardo Jaime , PARADZAI ALBERTO EDUARDO
Published: September 2023

A mineração é uma atividade importante para o desenvolvimento da economia e da sociedade em seus mais diversos setores produtivos trazendo mais-valia para a população. Apesar disso, a mineração artesanal também gera impactos ambientais diversos, sobretudo pelo uso de mercúrio no processo de amalgamação do Ouro o que tem prejudicado o ambiente, conduzindo à alterações ambientais significativas, assim como a contaminação dos cursos água, destruição de solos agrícolas, deslizamento de terra, evasão escolar dos jovens, entre outros. Este artigo emerge das reflexões e debates realizados em sala de aula, no módulo de Gestão de Recursos Naturais, curso de Mestrado em Gestão Ambiental. Nesse sentido, o seu objetivo é demonstrar as implicações ambientais da extração artesanal do Ouro no povoado de Namajuba, como subsídio à compreensão da dinâmica da atividade mineira na Província de Nampula. A par dos debates realizados, a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, assim como o trabalho de campo, foram importantes na apreensão do objeto de estudo. Aos sujeitos de pesquisa, garimpeiros e lideres comunitários locais, foi aplicada a entrevista semi-estruturada. Com efeito, a pesquisa permite dizer que, a mineração artesanal do Ouro, dada a forma como ela é realizada, conduz à degradação do solo, a poluíção ambiental, ao comprometimento da fauna e da flora local, tendo em conta que na etapa de seleção/junção de fragmentos de Ouro, os garimpeiros recorrem ao uso do mercúrio (hg). Portanto, a despeito dos pequenos ganhos econômicos resultantes desta atividade, são, no entanto, os problemas ambientais gerados que mais se destacam.

Idolatry and Relation
Authors: Fortis Beniamino
Published: September 2023

In a brief passage from the third part of Ich und Du, Buber expounds his conception of idolatry as an objectifying disposition that contradicts the relational nature of an authentic religious act. I will show that the main categories of Buber's thought – that is, the Grundworte ‘ich-du’ and ‘ich-es’ – provide the theoretical coordinates through which Buber understands the antithesis between authentic religion and idolatry as one between relationality and its opposite.
Historical and Political Reflections on the Jewish-Christian Dialogue
Authors: Kampling Rainer , Johanan Karma Ben
Published: September 2023

The Jewish-Christian dialogue has a dynamic, ongoing character, which impacts greatly not only on the relations between the two faith communities, but also on the self-reflection of each community itself (Kampling).

Considered from a political point of view, moreover, the Jewish-Christian dialogue is characterised by a structural asymmetry, which has at least three underlying reasons: (1) the numerical imbalance between Christian and Jewish communities; (2) the different ways Christianity and Judaism perceive each other; and (3) the different roles assumed by Christianity and Judaism throughout history (Ben Johanan).
The Exile of Speech
Authors: West Angela
Published: September 2023

The rabbis considered that a ‘pathology of speech’ in humans brought about the Biblical Flood. Lockdown has reminded us of new threats to our future. In the language of science, positivist certainties have given way to quantum probabilities, often expressed reductively as data. The data-driven society maintains the illusion of individual freedom, while concentrating power in the hands of the few, subjecting the diversity of the many to a standardised norm. The sages also sought to apply a single rule for all, but honoured diversity by training in the art of making careful distinctions. Recent neurological research views the brain as formed by the bodily needs of survival and the common culture of the group. The evolution of language is better understood as the application of conceptual metaphor to the governance of individual and community. This fits well with the rabbis’ understanding of how the misuse of language endangers our collective well-being.
From Invasive to Iconic
Authors: Fordahl Clayton
Published: September 2023

Recent years have seen a shift in the social scientific study of introduced species. Social scientists have shown that popular interpretations vary beyond the critical, invasive frameworks and include more celebratory or welcoming responses. Yet this research has taken the form of case studies. This has limited comparative inquiry. In response, this article develops a typology of sociocultural responses to introduced species by nonspecialists. The article then discusses major forms of collective meaning-making that go into creating these different cultural types.

In der Schweiz verursachen spontane flachgründige Rutschungen und Hangmuren regelmässig hohe Infrastrukturschäden und -sperrungen, Evakuationen und auch Todesfälle. Spätestens seit der Einführung des Kreislaufs des integralen Managements von Naturgefahrenrisiken ist der Schutzwald die wichtigste biologische Massnahme gegen flachgründige Rutschungen und Hangmuren. Er entfaltet seine Wirkung nicht nur im Anrissgebiet der Rutschung, sondern auch im Transit- und Ablagerungsgebiet. Der Einfluss des Waldes auf den Auslauf von Hangmuren wurde bis jetzt allerdings nicht systematisch untersucht. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, die für die Schutzwirkung relevanten Waldstrukturparameter zu messen. Auch haben wir diese Wirkung mittels einer Risikoanalyse in zwei Fallbeispielen quantifiziert. Die Analysen historischer Hangmurenereignisse in Kombination mit Geländeaufnahmen ergaben, dass hauptsächlich die Stammzahl die Bremswirkung des Waldes beeinflusst. Mit zunehmender Dichte des Waldes verkürzt sich die Auslaufstrecke. Zudem zeigte sich, dass sich hinter dickeren Bäumen deutlich mehr Material ablagert. Ein gut strukturierter Bestand mit einer hohen Stammzahl und vereinzelt grossen Durchmessern bietet demnach idealen Schutz gegen Hangmuren im Transit- und Ablagerungsgebiet. Die Ergebnisse der Laborversuche deuten darauf hin, dass verschiedene Waldstrukturen (dicht, offen, mit Lücken) Rutschungen stets stärker bremsen als ein Gelände ohne Wald. Simulationen von Auslaufstrecken historischer Ereignisse mit und ohne Wald in der Transitstrecke erlaubten eine Monetarisierung der Schutzwirkung des Waldes in der Transitstrecke. Demnach könnte sich die risikoreduzierende Wirkung des Waldes im Transitgebiet einer Hangmure für eine Autobahn wie jene auf der Gotthardstrecke auf 6500 CHF pro Jahr belaufen.

Published: September 2023

This study, conducted in Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia, explores the challenges associated with the policy of village infrastructure service and examines the relationship between the execution of village administration programs/policies in the region. The research employed a constructivist paradigm and a qualitative approach, gathering data through in-depth interviews and discussions with various local informants. These informants included the headman, village administration secretary, members of the democratic village council-BPD, the regency secretary, and a prominent local figure. The findings reveal limited land availability as a village asset, leading to constrained construction of village structures and a lack of financial resources for new facilities. Also, historical structures are inadequately maintained, and many village roads are poorly maintained. Various factors, such as communication elements, resource availability, disposition, and organizational structure, contribute to the challenges in implementing village infrastructure service policies. To address these issues, the village collaborates with the community, businesses, and other stakeholders to solve local infrastructure problems.
AUKUS: Unresolved threats to the international system?

Published: September 2023

The formation of AUKUS (Australia, United Kingdom, and United States) on September 15, 2021, elicited conflicting reactions from states in the international system. China, Southeast Asian countries, the US allies in the Indo Pacific, European countries and other countries in the international system demonstrated their different reactions based on their perception of security threat. The objective of this study is to investigate state reactions and to examine the implications of AUKUS for the international system. This study is analysed qualitatively using literature on the topic. Most studies on the formation of AUKUS use the security dilemma concept in analysing the formation of AUKUS. However, this study revealed that immediate state reactions to the formation of AUKUS are not completely in line with the concept of security dilemma. Balance of power theory may offer a more comprehensive assessment of the implications of AUKUS for other states in the international system. This study offers recommendations for states tackling this complex balance of power phenomena as a result of AUKUS’s formation in the international system. Increasing defense diplomacy among states is a significant long-term step for states to confront AUKUS as an unresolved threat in the international system.
A comprehensive approach for assessing the reliability of complex networks using OANN approach
Authors: Taluja Anuradha , Solanki A. K. , Kumar Harish
Published: September 2023

The optimistic model of network reliability assumes the nodes to be trustworthy while assigning a failure probability to the network's connections. For calculating a network's reliability, the persistent condition is used to guarantee that no two edges have the same failure probability. Accurately estimating the network's reliability across all of its endpoints is an NP-hard problem. The study of network reliability centers on problems arising from topological isolation of individual data nodes. Analysis of network reliability spans the phases of building, deploying, and testing a network. Issues with connection, capacity, and trip time are all metrics used in analyses of computer network reliability. In this paper, an Optimal ANN strategy is proposed as a means of assessing the reliability of the network. In this research, we analyze the methods used in and findings from recent studies on trustworthiness. The term "Optimized Artificial Neural Network" (OANN) is used to describe a strategy that takes into account aspects of both neural networks and another way for measuring trustworthiness. Results are well tested on network of 2^8nodes (mesh network) and hyper-tree network of n nodes. A network's performance may be evaluated with the help of the suggested method, which also contributes to the calculation of its cost and reliability metrics.

Published: September 2023

A number of strategies have been developed for controlling and monitoring the production process since the quality of the product has emerged as one of the key concerns in today's manufacturing sector. Control charts are the best tools for monitoring and adjusting products and processes. This research proposes a novel automatic method for the recognition of nine control chart patterns (CCPs) based on novel autonomous machine learning. The classification portion and the tuning portion make up the two main components of this procedure. Support Vector Machine (SVM) have demonstrated outstanding performance over the past few years on a variety of applications, including signal dispensation, speech detection, and image processing. SVM is consequently employed as the intelligent classifier for the recognition of CCPs in the classification phase. One key challenge with SVM is that it requires a high level of expertise to choose appropriate parameters, such as the quantity of kernel and their spatial diameters, knowledge rate, etc. It is difficult to fine-tune the SVM parameters because of their domestic dependence. These problems led to the employment of the Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm for the best tuning of SVM parameters in the tuning section of the proposed technique. Instead of depending on any feature engineering procedures, the suggested method, in contrast to the popular CCPs recognition methods, takes raw data and runs it through many hidden layers to obtain the best feature representation. The quantitative and simulation results demonstrate the suggested method's performance advantage over the earlier methods.

The surgical approach, Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), tries to limit stress on the patient's body and the number of incisions used during treatment. A flexible tube with a camera and light source known as an endoscope, which enables surgeons to see the interior organs and tissues, is one of the main instruments used in MIS. By expanding the capabilities of conventional endoscopes, Autonomous Flexible Endoscopes (AFE) can potentially change medical information systems. These autonomous devices can perform duties autonomously within the patient's body because they are outfitted with cutting-edge technology, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer vision, and robotic systems. Robotic surgical automation is a subject that is gaining more and more popularity. Although it is still impossible to fully automate a system, task and conditional autonomy are quite feasible. Safety is a key issue in robotic surgery, in addition to the performance of job completion. In this article, we introduce AFEs that can assist in autonomously guiding minimally invasive surgical procedures. The Tendon-driven Continuum Technique (TCT) served as the foundation for its development, and it is connected with the da Vinci Training Set (DVTS). There are six Degrees of Freedom (DOF) in the recommended AFEs. The surgical tools are automatically tracked using visual servoing. The AFE’s mobility and space occupancy is minimized throughout the tracking process using an optimum control strategy, improving the safety of the robot system and any surrounding assistance. Both empirical and user research findings demonstrate that the suggested AFE has benefits over the current rigid endoscope in terms of safety and reduced space requirements without compromising comfort level.

Epidemics are unique among calamities in two ways: the length of time they affect society and the speed with which they spread. In the absence of catastrophe prevention measures, supply chain (SC), and local communities would experience significant disruptions, leading to incalculable losses. The 2019 coronavirus illness (COVID-19) is one such calamity that has wreaked havoc on supply chains all across the globe, most notably the healthcare supply chain. As a result, this paper develops a practical decision support system based on doctors' knowledge and fuzzy inference system (FIS) for the first time to aid in insist management in the healthcare supply chain, lessen community pressure, disrupt the COVID-19 circulation chain, furthermore, in general, to diminish epidemic outbreaks for disruptions in the healthcare supply chain. This strategy first separates members of the community into four categories based on the sensitivity of their protected systems (normal, somewhat sensitive, extremely sensitive, and sensitive), as well as by two indications of age and pre-existing disorders and finally by two indicators of gender. These people are categorized after which they are obligated to follow the rules associated with their group. Finally, the success of the suggested strategy was evaluated in the real-world using data from four users, and the results demonstrated the efficiency and accuracy of the suggested strategy.

Soft computing has made great strides in recent years, giving cutting-edge methods for observing and managing intricate electronic and mechanical devices. For photovoltaic (PV) systems to maximize energy extraction, Maximum PowerPoint Tracking (MPPT) is essential. However, fluctuating environmental factors and system parameters might have an impact on the effectiveness of MPPT algorithms, resulting in less-than-ideal power generation. So, using soft computing approaches, this research suggests a unique fuzzy logic control and modified mayfly optimization (FLC-MMO) methodology for MPPT monitoring in PV systems. PV system imprecision and nonlinearity are handled by FLC, which offers an adaptable and flexible regulation. Additionally, MMO is used to optimize the FLC's parameters, enhancing its performance and accelerating convergence. MMO was motivated by the foraging behavior of mayflies. The outcomes of the experiments show how successful the suggested strategy is. The suggested MPPT surveillance system produces a greater energy extraction rate as compared to traditional MPPT methods.

Many methods have been tried to perfect vehicle recognition, which includes quickly locating the same objects in cameras with different sensor types and perhaps propagating trustworthy information across cameras to improve detection. In this study, we look at various important issues and provide a new method for spotting certain abnormalities. We suggest an automated vehicle monitoring system (AVMS) to enhance detection accuracy. If the current reading from a certain local monitor is out of the ordinary, that monitor will issue a notification, and all of those alerts will go toward deciding whether or not an abnormal event has occurred. The effective implementation of any large-scale surveillance system relies on our algorithm meeting several parameters. It simply takes a few minutes to set up and is completely hands-free. The experimental findings demonstrate the effectiveness and simplicity of the suggested approach, with the assembled image quality being on the level with that of state-of-the-art techniques.

Migration is one of the most important topics to emerge in the history of humanity. It is essential to anticipate human migration as exactly as possible in a variety of circumstances, including urban planning, trade, epidemics, the global expansion of diseases, and pandemic preparation, in order to generate successful public policy. Estimating potential future earnings for an individual, a firm, or an entire industry may be accomplished via the use of income projections. These data might be put to use to identify potential areas for growth and investment, as well as to devise strategies for adjusting both the employment landscape and the economy as a whole. It is possible to anticipate immigration by applying machine learning (ML), a technique that is presently used in almost every facet of modern life. In this research work, we presented the ML-based swarm-optimized binary regression-based xgboost method (also known as SO-BRXGB). According to the results of the research, the SO-BRXGB algorithms were the ones that were the most successful in the applications. In conclusion, the machine learning models for human migration prediction that were applied in this study will offer a flexible framework for predicting human migration under a variety of situations.

Establishing consumers' views via text-based feedback in a questionnaire is crucial for organizations, include education, since it gives a summary of significant areas that help administrators plan, regulations, and decision making. Through surveys, academic organizations have gathered huge quantities of textual data all over the years. For the organization, it is still difficult to analyse the vast quantities of unstructured feedback from customers to understand their concerns and opinions generally. In this study, we propose deep learning (DL) based technique called topic modelling that utilizing Naive Bayesian (NB) to automatically summarize text and retrieve ideas from this raw data. Additionally, it discusses the text mining procedure used to extract relevant information from the vast volume of text-based data. The most significant issues obtained through feedback from customers were subsequently identified. The findings showed particular issues for workplaces, including environment, staffing, IT infrastructure, and customer feedback system. The feedbacks also prominently highlight difficulties with the attitude of student assistance and security staff as well as the library's management and operations.

Authors: Kumar Bhupendra , Simalti Ashish , Deshpande Bhargavi
Published: September 2023

The broad use of wind power plants is a result of the rising need for renewable energy. However, it is difficult to effectively harness wind energy due to the inconsistent and erratic behavior of the wind. Improved wind energy system effectiveness depends on reliable wind speed forecasting. We suggest a unique marine predator-optimized convolutional deep belief network (MP-CDBN) in this study for predicting wind speed. The MPO technique is employed for optimizing the MP-CDBN framework once it has been trained using prior wind data. An evaluation and comparison of the suggested model with other wind speed prediction techniques are conducted. The suggested MP-CDBN model's precise wind speed predictions have the potential to increase the effectiveness of wind energy installations. The suggested approach can aid in lowering carbon dioxide emissions and encouraging the production of renewable energy by increasing the effectiveness of wind power plants.

The parent's involvement is believed to have a big impact on the achievement of their children at home and in school. The major data-gathering technique for the present research, a survey questionnaire, was used to research the impact of parent involvement on students' completion of science learning assignments. The information acquired from the 204 parents of Grade 11 students participating in the academic track at Narra National High School in Narra Philippines and Palawan were analyzed using a mixed-method technique. According to the study's results, most of the parents are working, responsible, full-time students, and competent in terms of their parenting styles, occupations, and levels of education. Parental participation is highly extensive, and the majority of students can successfully average five science learning assignments. The outcome also shows that parental participation levels are independent of both the parents' profiles and the number of learning activities that pupils have completed on those profiles. However, the amount of parental participation affects how many learning activities kids achieve.

In this research, Nigeria's Akure-Owo Axis public transportation system (PTS) passenger satisfaction is evaluated. It was required because certain Nigerian urban centres’ weak transportation infrastructure made it difficult for people, products, and services to move freely. Meanwhile, the significance of public transportation resides in the basic truth that accessibility and mobility are necessary for both economic development and the effective and efficient flow of products and services in cities of many developing nations. There was discovered to be twelve bus services. To gather the necessary data at the terminals (Akure and Owo Park), the research used questionnaires and field observation. Passengers at the two terminals were given one hundred and twelve (112) questionnaires.  Standard deviation and weighted mean were used as descriptive tools. Also utilized to provide descriptive statistics was gap analysis. The results showed that passengers were dissatisfied with the drivers' skills, the vehicle's condition, overloading and over speeding, the drivers' attitudes, the drivers' adherence to traffic laws and orders, and the cost of the trip.
