Optimizing Electric Vehicle Charging Recommendation in Smart Cities: A Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Approach
Authors: Suanpang Pannee , Jamjuntr Pitchaya
Published: February 2024

As global awareness for preserving natural energy sustainability rises, electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly becoming a preferred choice for transportation because of their ability to emit zero emissions, conserve energy, and reduce pollution, especially in smart cities with sustainable development. Nonetheless, the lack of adequate EV charging infrastructure remains a significant problem that has resulted in varying charging demands at different locations and times, particularly in developing countries. As a consequence, this inadequacy has posed a challenge for EV drivers, particularly those in smart cities, as they face difficulty in locating suitable charging stations. Nevertheless, the recent development of deep reinforcement learning is a promising technology that has the potential to improve the charging experience in several ways over the long term. This paper proposes a novel approach for recommending EV charging stations using multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms by comparing several popular algorithms, including the deep deterministic policy gradient, deep Q-network, multi-agent DDPG (MADDPG), Real, and Random, in optimizing the placement and allocation of the EV charging stations. The results demonstrated that MADDPG outperformed other algorithms in terms of the Mean Charge Waiting Time, CFT, and Total Saving Fee, thus indicating its superiority in addressing the EV charging station problem in a multi-agent setting. The collaborative and communicative nature of the MADDPG algorithm played a key role in achieving these results. Hence, this approach could provide a better user experience, increase the adoption of EVs, and be extended to other transportation-related problems. Overall, this study highlighted the potential of MARL as a powerful approach for solving complex optimization problems in transportation and beyond. This would also contribute to the development of more efficient and sustainable transportation systems in smart cities for sustainable development.

Part of complex measures aimed at replacing the use of antibiotics for preventive purposes when rearing poultry is the use in their diets of feed additives with antibacterial, anti-infl ammatory and other eff ects that help normalize the homeostasis of the body, the functions of the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract, and increase the natural resistance and productivity of poultry. These products include plant feed additives such as phytobiotics or phytogenics. The purpose of the research was to study the use of the drug Sel-Plex, plant extracts and phytobiotics in feeding of broilers. Scientifi c research was carried out in agricultural enterprises of the Kemerovo region on broiler chickens of the crosses Smena-2 and ISA F15. It has been established that when rearing of broiler chickens in poultry farms in biogeochemical zones with low selenium content, in order to increase the level of productivity and selenium content in poultry meat. It is advisable to introduce Sel-Plex into the diet at a dose of 200 mg/kg of feed throughout the entire period poultry rearing. In order to increase the effi ciency of poultry meat production and implement the strategy of replacing feed antibiotics in diets as part of a program of preventive measures, when rearing broiler chickens, we propose to include in the compound feed a complex phytobiotic containing extracts of creeping thyme at a dose of 8 mg/kg body weight, mustard of sarepta at the dose of 70 mg/kg of feed, garlic at the dose of 0,625 g/kg of feed, Echinacea purpurea at the dose of 8,6 mg/kg body weight, milk thistle at the dose of 2,0 mg/kg body weight, stinging nettle at the dose of 5,0 mg /kg body weight, mountain ash at the dose of 40 mg/kg body weight, rose hips at the dose of 10 mg/kg body weight, Jerusalem artichoke at the dose of 92 mg/kg body weight from one day to 33 days of age of the broilers.

Published: February 2024

A commercial PbO2 mesh cylinder electrode was utilized as the anode for the electrochemical degradation of the textile effluent after the biological treatment with the titanium cylinder as the cathode in a self-made tube electrolyzer. The electrochemical performances of the PbO2 electrode in tube electrolyzer under different initial pH, electrolyte flow rates, current densities and times of the electrochemical degradation were investigated. The experimental results illustrated that the PbO2 electrode can reduce the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the textile effluent from 94.0 mg L−1 to 65.0 mg L−1 with the current efficiency of 88.3%, the energy consumption of 27.7 kWh kg−1 (per kilogram of degraded COD) and the carbon emissions of 18.0 kg CO2 kg−1 (per kilogram of degraded COD) under the optimal operating conditions. In addition, the COD of the textile effluent could be reduced from 94.0 mg L−1 to 22.0 mg L−1 after the fifth electrochemical degradation. Therefore, PbO2 mesh cylinder electrode in the tube cylinder was promising for the electrochemical degradation of the textile effluent.

The birth of Romanian-language science does not coincide with the birth of the nation and it becomes problematic when trying to define it as a fixed and static cultural concept confined within the national state borders. Oscillating between two main views on “national science” as being a contact point and a separating line between cultural spaces, we will analyse in this article the way in which the Romanian-language science coagulated in scientific schools in the first interwar de cades by using French and German models, decanting them and transforming them in a relevant way. We contend that this coagulation of foreign models into a “national” science was not the merit of a coherent central political project but rather a common endeavour of individuals from all cultural centers who actively contributed, through their collaboration and competition, to the participation of Romanian-language science to the international dialogue.
Translation Strategies in Damaschin Bojincă’s Historical Writings
Authors:   Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Bruckner Alina
Published: February 2024

This study intends to analyze Damaschin Bojincã’s historical writing about the emblematic ruler Michael the Brave, published in the Romanian periodical Bibliotecã româneascã (Romanian li brary) in 1830. Illustrative of the ideological principles promoted by the Transylvanian School, to which Damaschin Bojincã belonged, the writing is in fact a translation, the source text being Johann Christian von Engel’s Geschichte der Moldau und Walachey (1804). Yet, this translation can be understood only in the context of the ideology of the Transylvanian School. Even though trans lation activities did not abide by any scientific rigors in premodern Romanian literature, Bojincã made use of certain strategies, in order to convey his nationalist credo, which was symptomatic of the period around the turn of the 19th century. Thus, starting from the historical and cultural context of the Transylvanian School, the article will present some of the translation strategies used by Bojincã in his historical writing, as a means of national propaganda.

Published: February 2024

Background: Statins are widely used for the medical management of vascular conditions, including ischemic stroke. However, genetic factors and polymorphisms, including SLCO1B1 388A>G single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), have shown significant effects in response to statin therapy. To the best of our knowledge, gender-gene interaction in response to statin therapy, affected by the SLCO1B1 388 A>G SNP, has not been investigated yet. The current study describes the therapeutic outcomes of this variation in terms of clinical evaluations and laboratory parameters. Methods: Seventy patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke were recruited for this study. Blood samples were collected. The SLCO1B1 388A>G gene was genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method, and the three possible polymorphisms (388GG, 388GA, and 388AA) were detected accordingly. Statin treatment was prescribed at a dose of 40 mg of Atorvastatin or 20 mg of Rosuvastatin daily. Laboratory assessments, including a lipid profile, liver function tests, and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as clinical evaluations, including scores of stroke severity, were obtained at baseline and after a three-month follow-up. Results: Iranian ischemic stroke patients showed all three possible polymorphisms, including 30 patients with AA, 28 patients with AG, and 12 patients with GG. Significant SNP variations and gender-gene interactions for most measures of the lipid profile and some clinical trends were found in such a manner that the GG genotype was associated with relevant resistance to statin treatment, while the AA genotype, particularly in male patients, was associated with more response to statin treatment. Conclusion: This investigation adds influential gender differences to the previously reported SLCO1B1 388A>G SNP-induced variations of statin therapeutic response in stroke patients.
Time to Take a Closer Look at the Controversial Effects of Antioxidants: Important Points to Be Remembered

Published: February 2024

The beneficial effects of antioxidants have been investigated and reported for decades. These include (but are not limited to) the positive effects on the endocrine, reproductive, and central nervous systems. Free radicals, which have been known to be formed during many processes, including drug metabolism, and introduced as the main player in oxidative stress conditions, would be scavenged and neutralized by antioxidant agents. Whether endogenous or exogenous, they have been known to stand against many pathologies such as neurodegeneration, nephrotoxicity, inflammation, cancer, and aging, as well as pain and related challenges, namely, tolerance and dependence on analgesics. Despite the numerous reports of the benefits, the volume of studies focusing on the potential harms seems to be insufficient. It is important to note that some of the negative effects can be serious and challenging. In fact, the words "negative" or "positive" would be defined under a particular condition. Most likely, the most well-known example would be the challenges of antioxidant consumption in carcinogenesis, although many other conditions would be the focus. In this regard, the overuse of many antioxidant nutraceuticals, such as vitamin E, β-carotene, and lipoic acid, has been reported to be associated with serious complications. In this review, in addition to the bright side, we are going to scrutinize the controversies surrounding antioxidant administration.

Changing Scenario of Agricultural Production in Madurai District of Tamil Nadu
Authors: Veerapandi T. , Ramanathan T.
Published: February 2024

India has a lengthy history of agriculture that dates back ten thousand years. Indian agriculture was developed about 9000 BC as a result of early plant domestication and crop and animal domestication. With the advancement of agricultural tools and methods, life quickly began. Indian economy was renowned for centuries for self-contained village communities prior to the introduction of British Rule. Agriculturists, cottage industrialists, village craftsmen, artisan professions, unskilled labourers, and village administrators made up village communities.In addition to supplying the requirements of the village economy, these communities were able to create and export a variety of goods to other nations. Agriculture was a way of life at the time, and farmers only produced for their own consumption. Food crops like wheat and rice were the most significant ones. People began to revere and respect plants and animals since they were seen as necessary to their survival.In India, farmers often cultivate crops on a small plot of land with the help of their families. The farmer and his family consume the majority of the crops produced by this method; there is very little extra to be sold on the market. For more than 700 years, this kind of agriculture has dominated the nation and continues to do so in many regions of India.
The Principles, Strategies for Green Economy in India: An Overview
Authors: Gadad Mallikarjun , Ravi Kumar M
Published: February 2024

Creating a green economy is now a top objective for sustainable development across the globe. Employment opportunities and improved living conditions have resulted from India’s rapid economic growth over the last decade. The growth of urban areas is a global phenomenon, particularly in developing countries like India. By 2030, cities are expected to be home to 60 percent of the world’s population, according the United Nations. Ninety percent of the world’s rural population resides in Asia. Nonetheless, urbanisation is on the rise and is projected to reach 56% by the year 2050. The Green Economy may improve employment opportunities, GDP growth, resource conservation, social cohesion, and disaster preparedness. Green economics provide cause for optimism in the face of climate change and unsustainable economic expansion. A green economy has gained favour as a solution to global warming, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable economic expansion in recent years. Can you define “green economy” for me? Forests, water, soil, and fish supplies are all examples of natural capital that are valued and invested in by a green economy in order to assure long-term growth and eradicate poverty. It requires redirecting public and private investments towards natural capital and emerging sectors and technology, with the help of supportive policy shifts and enabling conditions. There is no such thing as a “trade-off” between progress in the economy and protection of the environment. Growth, income, and employment are all bolstered by a green economy.

Published: February 2024

Since the New Economic Policy in India, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has received more attention at both national and state levels. According to the World Investment Report (2021) published by UNCTAD, India is one of the top investment destinations and ranks 7th place in receiving FDI inflows. While attracting inflows from all the regions, Karnataka garners a larger share among the total FDI inflows in India. This paper examines the trends and patterns of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in the state of Karnataka in the past decade (2012-13 to 2021-22) with emphasis on investment promotion policies, comparative performance among the top five states of India, cumulative inflows from abroad and challenges for the state to further strengthen the inflows. It is hypnotized that FDI has a positive impact on Per Capita Net State Domestic Product (NSDP) and infrastructure development in the state. The multi-regression analysis is used as a statistical tool. Data compiled from DPIIT and Annual Economic survey reports of the Government of Karnataka. The empirical evidence shows that Karnataka has gained prominence in FDI share especially IT/ITes sector has lured about 30 percent of total FDI inflows in the state.
Digital Skills and Gender Equality
Authors: Hauzel Ruth Z , Pattnaik Tanuja
Published: February 2024

Today, gender equality and digital development are inextricably linked. Digital skills have become a necessity and no longer an option unlike a few years ago, especially after the pandemic. Technology has penetrated every nook and corner of society, so much so that it has become absolutely necessary to be able to function to the fullest and be in sync with the world around us. Against this backdrop, developing digital skills is imperative because of the role it plays in every aspect of life. Therefore, our education system needs to be more inclusive in order to bridge the gender digital divide. To bridge the gap and achieve gender equality, equal access and training is required. However, the implementation of such an education system, though, is an entirely different story. Digital skills education, especially for women and girls, is in a deplorable state. This paper will analyse the urgency of the need to address this issue and discuss potential measures to achieve equality.

Published: February 2024

Найчастіше переломи щелепно-лицевої ділянки у дітей трапляються у періоди 6-7 років – час початку відвідування школи, 12-14 років – значне зростання фізичної активності, участі у спортивних змаганнях та тренуваннях, 16-18 років – хуліганські травми. Відомо, що при лікуванні переломів нижньої щелепи частіше використовуються ортопедично-хірургічні методи, а саме, двущелепне шинування з гумовими тягами. У сучасній щелепно-лицевій хірургії для фіксації кісткових фрагментів при переломах різної локалізації широко використовують накісні титанові пластини та шурупи для остеосинтезу, що принципово дозволяє забезпечити надійне утримання уламків в трьох площинах на весь період консолідації перелому. Мета роботи. підвищення ефективності лікування переломів кута нижньої щелепи у дітей 6-8 років шляхом визначення оптимального місця для фіксації мініпластин за допомогою аналізу комп’ютерних томограм. Матеріали та методи дослідження. Нами було проведено аналіз історій хвороб дітей з переломами кутів нижньої щелепи, які лікувались шляхом остеосинтезу у щелепно-лицевих відділеннях міських лікарень м. Дніпро за період з 2012 по 2020 роки. З метою визначення безпечних зон для фіксації мініпластин при переломах кута нижньої щелепи нами був проведений аналіз 23 комп’ютерних томограм у дітей 6-8 років. Результати дослідження та їх обговорення. Проведений нами аналіз 23 томограм дітей 6-8 років виявив максимально близьке розташування нижньощелепного каналу у 100 % випадків. Враховуючи анатомічні особливості будови нижньої щелепи та наявність зачатків постійних зубів у дітей вивчаємого віку, загальноприйняте свердління по нижньому краю щелепи від дистального краю постійного ікла до дистального краю другого постійного моляру є ризиковим. Крім того, нами було враховано, що сила жувальних м’язів у дітей значно менша ніж у дорослих, тому достатнім є використання лише однієї мініпластини при переломах кута нижньої щелепи. Одним із основних етапів успішного лікування переломів кута нижньої щелепи у дітей 6-8 років методом остеосинтезу являється обґрунтування розташування гвинтів для фіксації мініпластин. Висновки. На підставі даних, отриманих при дослідженні ортопантомограм і комп’ютерних томограм, нами були визначені безпечні для свердління точки при фіксації мініпластини під час лікування переломів кута нижньої щелепи шляхом остеосинтезу у дітей 6-8 років. Крім того, визначені точки свердління під гвинти можливо використовувати при розробці хірургічного шаблону, позиційованого на зубах.

Published: February 2024

Authentic assessment allows students to demonstrate knowledge and skills in real-world tasks. In research, peer review is one such task that researchers learn by doing, as they evaluate other researchers’ work. This means peer review could serve as an authentic assessment that engages students’ critical thinking skills in a process of active learning. In this study, we had students write peer reviews of preprints, scaffolded by a rubric. Agreement between the students and academics was reasonable, and active student involvement was high. The results suggest that use of peer review in undergraduate classes should be explored more. It likely facilitates students’ ability to evaluate the quality of scientific studies, encourages active learning about the scientific process, and shows potential for contributing to publicly-available assessment of scientific studies.

Published: February 2024

The relationship between the transmittance and FWHM of a Fabry–Perot filter for a nondispersive carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor was investigated as a function of the number of distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) pairs consisting poly-Si and SiO2 thin films. Given the significant prior research on the fabrication of high-performance Fabry–Perot filters, this study is focused on the relationship between the transmittance and FWHM that can be achieved by controlling the reflectance of the DBR pairs. Each layer of the filter was simulated adequately as the poly-Si and SiO2-based DBR pairs, and poly-Si and SiO2 were deposited on the soda–lime substrate by RF sputtering and low-pressure chemical vapor deposition based on the simulation results. The fabricated filter showed a transmittance of 43.7% and FWHM of 125 nm at 4.26 μm. The NDIR CO2 sensor with Fabry–Perot filter showed enhanced selectivity to CH4 and CO compared with normalized CO2 response.

Published: February 2024

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the research trends related to reading education in the Korean language curriculum for academic purposes and to find a systematic and efficient educational direction for reading education through this. For this discussion, this article analyzed master's and doctoral dissertations on Korean reading education published in 2011-2021. In language education, reading can be
said to be a key area directly connected to the achievement of language education. Despite the importance of learning, the results of reading education are to identify and analyze recent trends in educational research for international students by conducting trend analysis on master's and doctoral dissertations on the subject of reading Korean for international students. To this end, data on doctoral dissertations published from 2011 to 2021 were collected through the Academic Research Information Service (RISS), and 32 collected papers were classified into 'education theory, education plan, curriculum, educational materials, learning patterns, and learner variables'. And based on this, the distribution and trend of reading education research for international students were identified. Based on the final analysis results, the direction of future reading education research for international students was suggested, and the limitations of this study were also described.
The Study of Korean Culture from the Perspective of Western Learners of Korean in the Modern Era
Authors:   Urimal Society, Park eun mi
Published: February 2024

This study analyzed the Korean cultural elements found in Korean language textbooks used by Western learners during the modern era. By examining their perceptions of Korean culture as portrayed in their writings, the study investigated the question: 'What aspects of Korean culture have foreign learners observed, and from what perspective have they viewed it?' Through examples, the study confirmed the conscious culture, behavioral culture, and conceptual culture perceived by foreign learners in Korean language textbooks. Additionally, analyzing works by Western learners of Korean according to the stages of intercultural sensitivity development, the study observed a progression from the 'denial' stage to the 'integration' stage. Based on these analyses, the study proposed the necessity of incorporating the demands and experiences of foreign learners into the selection of Korean cultural content in teaching and learning designs. Furthermore, the study suggested the need for cultural attitude education to approach other cultures through the process of intercultural awareness.
The necessity of considering the 'Intentional Interface' prior to lexical selection in Grammatical Models
Authors:   Urimal Society, Jeong Dae-Sik
Published: February 2024

This article aims to integrate "Grammatical models" and "Performance models". Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to elucidate the role that existing grammatical models play in performance models and to supplement necessary discussions. Existing grammatical models incorporate an 'Interface' to serve as a link between them, taking subsequent utterances into consideration. However, within performance models, the position of grammatical models aligns with the 'Formulator', situated between the 'Conceptualizer' and 'Articulator'. It has been identified that not only is an 'Interface' needed for connection with the 'Articulator', but an 'Interface' for connection with the 'Conceptualizer' is also imperative. Therefore, this article argues for the establishment of an 'Intentional Interface' as a connecting link between the 'Conceptualizer' and 'Formulator'. The theoretical basis for this argument is explained through the lexical selection process in the lexicon. In summary, while existing grammatical models do not delve into how lexical selection occurs in the lexicon, this article posits that lexical selection is based on the 'Intent' interpreted in the 'Intentional Interface'. This explanation, I believe, provides a theoretical foundation for explaining the 'Generation of Idiomatic expression', 'Generation of Active and Passive expressions', and 'Root separation'.
A Comparative Study of the Korean ‘boda’ construction and the Chinese ‘kan’ construction -Focused on the Ambiguity of modality-
Authors:   Urimal Society, Dai Yanan
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is to compare the syntactic characteristics and examine the modal meanings of ‘boda' and ‘kan', which denote visual perceptual acts, in Korean and Chinese. The lexical meanings of ‘boda' and ‘kan' acquire their modal meanings through a process of semantic abstraction. Both ‘boda' and ‘kan' can convey the speaker's objective attitude towards a proposition and also express the occurrence of an event, thus exhibiting a dual modality function. They can be interpreted as either epistemic modals or event modals. This duality of modality function in ‘boda' and ‘kan' presents different syntactic characteristics, which are interpreted in terms of the structure of modality realization.

The use of the Choquet integral in multicriteria decision making problems has gained attention in the last two decades. Despite of its usefulness, there is the issue of how to define the Choquet integral parameters, called capacity coefficients, specially the ones associated with coalitions of criteria. A possible approach to address this issue is based on unsupervised learning, which aims to define such parameters with the goal of mitigating undesirable effects provided by intercriteria relations. However, current unsupervised approaches present some drawbacks, as there is no guarantee that the parameters are equally prioritized in the learning procedure. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised capacity identification approach which ensures a fair learning for all parameters. Moreover, in comparison with the existing methods, our proposal is less complex in terms of optimization, as it is based on a linear formulation. Experimental results in both synthetic and real datasets attest the applicability of our proposal.
Planar near-field antenna measurements with a uniform step larger than half-wavelength

In this paper, a new sampling scheme of the near field radiated by a
planar source is proposed and assessed. More in detail, the paper shows
a uniform sampling criterion that allows representing the near field
over a plane with a number of measurements lower than the classical
half-wavelength sampling. At first, a discretization strategy of the
near field based on the warping method is recalled from the literature.
The latter requires to collect a non-redundant number of field
measurements that are non-uniformly arranged over the observation
domain. Despite this, the warping sampling scheme works well only if the
measurement plane does not overcome the source. When the observation
domain is larger, it does not predict the exact positions of the field
samples at the edges of the measurement plane; accordingly, in these
regions it is not possible to recover the near field behavior by the
collected samples. To overcome this drawback, a spatially varying
oversampling is exploited. The latter is chosen in such a way that the
resulting sampling becomes uniform. Such choice also ensures a growth of
the sampling rate only at the edges of the observation domain permitting
the retrieval of the near field by its samples. Finally, numerical
simulations based on experimental data corroborate the effectiveness of
the approach in recovering both the near and the far field.

Desa Tanjung kecamatan Pakis Aji kabupaten Jepara terletak di lereng Gurung Muria. Sebagian besar mata pencaharian penduduk desa adalah bertani. Salah satu tanaman yang cocok ditanam di daerah ini selain padi adalah kopi. Sebagian besar warganya menanam kopi hanya sebagai konsumsi pribadi dan tidak untuk dijual. Hal ini dikarenakan harga jual yang murah. Mitra yang diajak kerja sama oleh tim pengabdi dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah Kopi Tanjung Java, yang dirintis oleh bapak Nor Rokhim pada tahun 2018 dengan jumlah karyawan 5 orang. Sebelumnya di desa tanjung belum ada usaha kopi sehingga Tanjung Java kopi ini merupakan pionir yang memulai usaha kopi disana. Permasalahan yang ada pada mitra yaitu 1) pada tahap roasting masih menggunakan pihak kedua sehingga biaya roasting mahal, 2) Pemasaran yang masih manual dengan sistem konsinyasi dan menawarkan ke kedai-kedai yang ada di Jepara. Solusi untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dengan metode sosialisasi, pelatihan IoT dan internet marketing, penerapan alat roasting dan pelatihan tata lay out, pendampingan, evaluasi, dan monitoring. Hasil dari kegiatan ini yaitu manfaat yang diperoleh mitra berupa peningkatan kapasitas produksi 33%, peningkatan aset 60%, omset 2%, dan keterampilan mitra.

Transportasi telah menjadi salah satu kebutuhan bagi masyarakat dalam menunjang mobilitas. Sejumlah ruas jalan dibangun oleh pemerintah guna menghubungkan antarwilayah dan jumlah kendaraan bermotor utamanya sepeda motor meningkat pesat, tetapi  sayangnya hal ini dibarengi dengan angka kecelakaan lalu lintas yang juga terus bertambah yang tak lain disebabkan oleh perilaku berkendara tidak aman, kurangnya pemahaman serta rendahnya kesadaran akan peraturan-peraturan lalu lintas yang berlaku. Sosialisasi Safety Riding perlu dilakukan terutama pada kalangan remaja yang memiliki pengetahuan peraturan berlalu lintas masih minim dan emosi yang masih labil. Di Desa Tengin Baru, Kecamatan Sepaku, Kabupaten Penajam Paser Utara terdapat sebuah kesepakatan antara pihak kepolisian dan masyarakatnya  dimana siswa SMP diperbolehkan untuk mengendarai sepeda motor untuk berangkat dan pulang sekolah karena tidak adanya angkutan umum yang beroperasi di wilayah mereka. Kesepakatan ini akhirnya menimbulkan beberapa pelanggaran aturan lalu lintas yang disebabkan oleh siswa tersebut sehingga perlu dilakukan  upaya edukasi dan sosialisasi terkait peraturan berkendara di jalan raya. Saat dilakukan sosialisasi oleh Kepolisian Sektor Sepaku, siswa antusias terlihat saat menyimak pemaparan. Pemaparan materi juga dilengkapi dengan simulasi berkendara saat akan mendahului pengendara lain di jalan raya yang diperagakan oleh volunteer dari siswa. Pada saat sesi tanya dari kepolisian kepada siswa untuk mengukur tingkat pemahaman siswa akan materi yang disampaikan dan kesadaran akan Safety Riding dapat diketahui bahwa siswa telah memahami akan materi yang disampaikan dan berjanji untuk berhati-hati dalam berkendara saat berangkat dan pulang sekolah.
