The main purpose of this study is to examine existing literature on how inventory performance in the automotive manufacturing supply chain can be improved. Articles reviewed are from the last ten years that is related to automotive manufacturing industry and targeted to inventory performance. Transformational changes are happening in the automotive manufacturing supply chains with ubiquitous technology leading the transformation. Inherently, due to its outsourced manufacturing in dispersed locations globally, communication and coordination would be affected in some form. This results in companies in the automotive manufacturing supply chain resorting to holdmore inventory to mitigate the uncertainty. Therefore, to address this issue, this study conceptualises a theoretical framework that is adapted from Galbraith’s (1974) Organisational Information Processing Theory. The recommended framework may provide a guide to practitioners on understanding the intricacies of supply chain integration and how technology tools may help in mitigating risks and improve inventory performance.

Persona Journey Mapping to Drive Equity During an LMS Transition
Authors: Lee Kam Moi , McFarland Megan , Goin Kono Kari
Published: October 2023

Technology systems that support learning–such as Learning Management Systems, or LMS’s–can change frequently in higher education. This often creates significant challenges for faculty-support staff during a transition–or migration–period. When equitable practice is deprioritized during these migrations, there is a high chance that stakeholders will experience adoption resistance, putting the project’s success and subsequent student experience at risk. Using a vignette and case study qualitative methodological approach, three researchers at a large urban university in the Pacific Northwest detail personas and journey mapping as an equitable design practice during a LMS migration on a rapid development timeline. This paper details how personas were created, how journey mapping impacted various teams, and how centering equity better prepared staff to support instructors throughout the migration while addressing the student learning impact.

Authors: Hakim Moh. Abdul , Aristawati Nina Vania
Published: October 2023

Untuk mengevaluasi depresi, kecemasan, dan stres pada populasi, banyak peneliti dan praktisi kesehatan mental di Indonesia menggunakan versi bahasa Indonesia dari DASS-21 yang dikembangkan oleh Lovibond dan Lovibond (1995) serta diadaptasi oleh peneliti lokal. Meskipun skala ini terbukti berguna, namun belum banyak divalidasi untuk usia dewasa awal di Indonesia. Penelitian saat ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas konstruk dan keandalan konstruk dari versi bahasa Indonesia DASS-21 untuk individu berusia dewasa awal. Penelitian ini melibatkan 629 responden berusia 20-40 tahun dari 34 provinsi yang mengisi skala secara daring. Secara umum, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa versi bahasa Indonesia DASS-21 untuk individu berusia dewasa awal memiliki sifat psikometrik yang cukup baik sebagai skala multidimensi. Namun, kami menyarankan beberapa revisi penting terhadap skala tersebut, seperti menghilangkan butir yang tumpang tindih dalam subskala Depresi dan Kecemasan, serta menyempurnakan terjemahan satu butir dalam Subskala Stres.

Identifikasi Pola Redistribusi Tanah Untuk Pendugaan Erosi Berdasarkan Nilai Suseptibilitas Magnetik di Daerah Bukit Nobita Kota Padang
Authors: Fadillah Ahmad , Budiman Arif
Published: October 2023

Research has been carried out to identify soil redistribution patterns of soil redistribution as an estimate of erosion by analyzing the magnetic susceptibility values of soil samples in the Bukit Nobita area, Padang City. Soil samples were taken from two different areas, namely areas that are not vegetated and areas that are vegetated. The length of the track to each area is 100 m consisting of 10 points with variations in depth at each point, namely 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm. The magnetic susceptibility measurement of the sample uses a Magnetic Susceptibility Meter with the commonly used frequencies, namely Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF). The measurement results show that for non-vegetatedareas, the Ï‡lfvalues range from 44 10-8 m3kg-1 to 301 Â 10-8 m3kg-1, and theÏ‡hfvalue ranges from 43 10-8 m3kg-1 to 298.9 10-8 m3kg-1. Whereas for samples from vegetated areas, the Ï‡lf values range from 63.6 10-8 m3kg-1Â  toÂ  859.410-8 m3kg-1, and the Ï‡hf ranges from 63.1 10-8 m3kg-1 to 852,5 10-8 m3kg-1. The results showed that the susceptibility value depends on the frequency (Ï‡fd), which is <2% and was dominated by large magnetic minerals that were disturbed, such as erosion. The distribution profile of Ï‡lf values tends to increase with increasing sampling depth, indicating that the soil in both tracks is disturbed, and the redistribution pattern of soil in non-vegetated areas is more evenly distributed than vegetated areas, allowing erosion to also occur in vegetated areas.

Published: October 2023

Assessment and quantification of Attention, Hyperactivity and Impulsivity symptoms and losses it promotes to an individual is a challenging task. A computerized assessment tool, Quotient ADHD® System, intends to provide objective measurements of hyperactivity, inattention an impulsivity on an individual basis. In a sample of 64 adults, we correlated results of this tool with scores of self-report scales for ADHD symptoms, impulsiveness and executive functions. Significant Spearman’s correlations (p≤.05) were found between Quotient ADHD® scores and ADHD symptoms, impulsivity and executive functions symptoms scores. Considering results obtained, we assume Quotient ADHD® might be a useful instrument to help evaluate inhibition control related to impulsiveness and inattention, being suitable to detect disorders with attention and impulsivity compromise.

Authors: Videira João , Gaspar Pedro Dinis , Soares Vasco Nuno da Gama de Jesus , Caldeira João Manuel Leitão Pires
Published: October 2023

Wild flowers and plants play an important role in protecting biodiversity and providing various ecosystem services. However, some of them are endangered or threatened and are entitled to preservation and protection. This study represents a first step to develop a computer vision system and a supporting mobile app for detecting and monitoring the development stages of wild flowers and plants, aiming to contribute to their preservation. It first introduces the related concepts. Then, surveys related work and categorizes existing solutions presenting their key features, strengths, and limitations. The most promising solutions and techniques are identified. Insights on open issues and research directions in the topic are also provided. This paper paves the way to a wider adoption of recent results in computer vision techniques in this field and for the proposal of a mobile application that uses YOLO convolutional neural networks to detect the stages of development of wild flowers and plants.
Detection of multi-class arrhythmia using heuristic and deep neural network on edge device

Published: October 2023

Heart disease is a heart condition that sometimes causes a person to die suddenly. One indication is a rhythm disorder known as arrhythmia. Multi-class Arrhythmia Detection has followed: QRS complex detection procedure and arrhythmia classification based on the QRS complex morphology. We proposed an edge device that detects QRS complexes based on variance analysis (QVAT) and the arrhythmia classification based on the QRS complex spectrogram. The classifier uses two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D CNN) deep learning. We use a single board computer and neural network compute stick to implement the edge device. The outcomes are a prototype device cardiologists use as a supporting tool for analysing ECG signals, and patients can also use it for self-tests to figure out their heart health. To evaluate the performance of our edge device, we tested using the MIT-BIH database because other methods also use the data. The QVAT sensitivity and predictive positive are 99.81% and 99.90%, respectively. Our classifier's accuracy, sensitivity, predictive positive, specificity, and F1-score are 99.82%, 99.55%, 99.55%, 99.89%, and 99.55%, respectively. The experiment result of arrhythmia classification shows that our method outperforms the others. Still, for r-peak detection, the QVAT implemented in an edge device is comparable to the other methods. In future work, we can improve the performance of r-peak detection using the double-check algorithm in QVAT and cross-check the QRS complex detection by adding 1 class to the classifier, namely the non-QRS class.

Published: October 2023

The occurrence of pigmented skin lesions (PSL), including melanoma, are rising, and early detection is crucial for reducing mortality. To assist Pigmented skin lesions, including melanoma, are rising, and early detection is crucial in reducing mortality. To aid dermatologists in early detection, computational techniques have been developed. This research conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify research goals, datasets, methodologies, and performance evaluation methods used in categorizing dermoscopic lesions. This review focuses on using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in analyzing PSL. Based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, the review included 54 primary studies published on Scopus and PubMed between 2018 and 2022. The results showed that ResNet and self-developed CNN were used in 22% of the studies, followed by Ensemble at 20% and DenseNet at 9%. Public datasets such as ISIC 2019 were predominantly used, and 85% of the classifiers used were softmax. The findings suggest that the input, architecture, and output/feature modifications can enhance the model's performance, although improving sensitivity in multiclass classification remains a challenge. While there is no specific model approach to solve the problem in this area, we recommend simultaneously modifying the three clusters to improve the model's performance.

A Tale of Two Codes – The Peregrinations of a Penal Code
Authors: Angelo Tony , Avia Janielee
Published: October 2023

Tony Smith was an early contributor to this review. It is fitting therefore that a long and distinguished career in the criminal law be celebrated now in a special issue of the same journal. In the following picaresque-like account a colleague and former student join to celebrate the career of Professor Tony Smith. This article considers two criminal law codes – where they came from and the influence of each beyond its country of origin. The two codes referred to in this article are the Queensland Criminal Code Act 1899 prepared by Sir Samuel Griffith and the draft English Criminal Code 1880 prepared by Sir James Fitzjames Stephen.
The Family Court – Contempt and Inherent Powers
Authors: Atkin Bill
Published: October 2023

This article honours the achievements of Professor ATH Smith both in New Zealand and abroad. Its focus is on aspects of the New Zealand Family Court. The law of contempt is now governed by the Contempt of Court Act 2019. The earlier leading case on the contempt powers of the Family Court is analysed, followed by the changes made by the 2019 Act and their implications for the Court. The discussion is on the basis that the Family Court does not have inherent powers to deal with contempt situations not covered by the statutory scheme. As a part of the District Court, its inherent powers are limited to matters of procedure: contempt is a substantive matter, not one of procedure. The article concludes by briefly raising the wider question of whether the distinction between the senior courts and the lower ones, such as the Family Court, is helpful.

In honour of Professor Smith's status as a member of the English bar, this article provides an insight into life at the English bar from the perspective of a New Zealander who has practised in England as a barrister for over 20 years. The author describes how the English bar and barristers' chambers operate, and her own path to becoming a King's Counsel, including some of her most memorable cases. The author graduated from Victoria University of Wellington in the mid-1990s with a BA and LLB(Hons), and was awarded the Chapman Tripp Sheffield Young prize for the top law graduate in her year. After completing the LLM at the University of Cambridge (and gaining the highest mark in her year), she worked for two years as a solicitor at Clifford Chance in London before transferring to the bar, where she has practised from Blackstone Chambers ever since. This article is an adaptation of a lecture given at the Victoria University of Wellington Faculty of Law in September 2022.
A Case of the Highest Authority… So What Does It Mean?
Authors: Eady David
Published: October 2023

There has been for some time a widespread view that anyone under investigation with regard to suspected wrongdoing should be entitled to anonymity prior to charge. Yet no attempt has been made to legislate. The matter is governed currently by the recently developed law of privacy, deriving from such cases as Campbell v MGN Ltd and culminating in the decision of the Supreme Court in ZXC v Bloomberg LP. It seems to be accepted, not only in England but under human rights law generally, that such information should be regarded as "private". This has not seriously been undermined in any of the leading cases. There is surely a serious question as to whether a suspect does indeed have a reasonable expectation that there should be such a blanket over his or her identity. This information is not purely personal. It relates to suspected wrongdoing – information which legitimately concerns not only any individual under suspicion but also, for example, "victims" and no doubt other fellow citizens interested in getting to the truth and in the administration of justice. Naturally, if a suspect's name leaks out, that individual's reputation may be seriously damaged. Some take the view that compensation should be recoverable specifically for injury to reputation – even though the claim would not be brought in defamation. Yet privacy and libel are distinct causes of action with different purposes to fulfil. If damages are to be sought to vindicate reputation, it is hard to see why a defendant should not have available the traditional defences and other principles applying in defamation. If a claimant wishes to demonstrate that the allegations are false, as well as intrusive, why should he not be subject to the same disciplines and risks as one who sues in libel?

Constructive Trusts and Theft
Authors: Rotherham Craig
Published: October 2023

The Theft Act 1968 (UK) marked a major reform of United Kingdom criminal law resulting in numerous offences being superseded by a broad crime of theft. The Act explicitly provided that theft extended to interferences with equitable property rights. While the extension of the offence to express trusts might be largely unproblematic, the possibility of it applying to trusts arising by operation of law has been more controversial. This article suggests that the issue is likely to arise less often than is commonly supposed. Many rights enforced by way of a constructive trust can only properly be regarded as initially giving rise to a mere equity that will mature into a full proprietary interest only following the exercise of a power of election and/or the intervention of a court. It follows that, prior to such steps being taken, assets affected by such an equity will not be "property belonging to another" for the purposes of the definition of theft under the Act. Nonetheless, the concerns regarding the extension of theft to constructive trusts are well founded. The reasons for providing that equitable proprietary rights arise by operation of law have little to do with sound rationales for characterising conduct as theft.
Criminal Liability for "Photographic Piracy"?

The author is a Professor Emeritus of Cambridge University, where for many years Tony Smith was his friend and valued colleague. In this article he critically analyses the existing law in relation to taking or publishing photographs of other people without their consent and considers the desirability of extending criminal liability for such behaviour by the creation of a new criminal offence.
CONCEPTUALISATIONS OF ECOLOGICAL DISTRESS IN THE GLOBAL MEDIA AND

PSYCHOLOGICAL PRACTICE: A QUALITATIVE STUDY
Authors:   , Stedman Sophia
Published: October 2023

This thesis investigated the psychological implications of climate change on individuals and communities by examining the conceptual frameworks of eco-anxiety, eco-distress, and eco- grief. To provide a better understanding of these terms, the study employed two distinct approaches. Firstly, a qualitative analysis was conducted to investigate how the media conceptualised these terms, as they provided easy-to-access information for the public on climate change and mental health impacts. Secondly, registered psychologists in Aotearoa New Zealand were interviewed to gain insight into their perspectives and how they understood these eco-terms in relation to young people. The study revealed that eco-distress was understood as an all-encompassing term that described the overall experience of distress caused by anthropogenic climate change. Eco-anxiety, on the other hand, was commonly used in news media to describe the distress caused by climate change, but it was found to be a narrow and limited term. Eco-grief was also identified as a subset of eco-distress, which described the experience of grieving for losses resulting from anthropogenic climate change.

It was emphasised that using terms that accurately described and legitimised the emotional experiences of individuals affected by climate change was important to mitigate the psychological impacts of climate change on individuals without pathologising language. The study highlighted the significance of addressing the psychological effects of climate change to promote mental health and well-being. Establishing a shared language and understanding of these concepts is crucial to better communicate and develop more effective approaches to treatment. A nuanced understanding of eco-distress may be crucial for individuals to receive comprehensive support to manage their mental health and take positive steps towards addressing environmental concerns. Overall, this research aimed to bring more conceptual clarity to the eco-related terms by investigating these concepts using two distinct approaches and emphasised the importance of addressing the psychological effects of climate change.

Published: October 2023

The paper attempts to provide some insight into development and make suggestions for improvement of students’ work-based learning (WBL) and practical placements based on the analysis of some WBL cases in European universities. These proposals aim to improve the quality of education and ensure the decent employment of the graduates. The large-scale survey of employers revealed their high interest in the admission of students for practical placements.
The proposals for the organization of WBL and practical placements based on close university-business cooperation were set forward within the ERASMUS+ project «UniLab – From university to labour market in the 21st century: a step forward in work-based placements” which embraced seven countries, including Russia with four university participants.
Theoretical and empirical analysis of the EU cases helped the project partners identified some future-proofed tools for the Russian HEIs.
To achieve the goals set in the project, the following methods were used: document analysis, literature review, study the best experience of the UniLab partners, and the survey of companies.
The article makes contribution to the existing volume of research and knowledge related to the university-business partnerships, and suggests positive steps that need to be taken for upgrading WBL efficiency
Strategies foImproving Construction Safety Performance in Developing Context
Authors: Beitelmal Wesam , Alruqi Wael , Zoubi Mohamed
Published: October 2023

Inexperience and lack of awareness of workplace appropriate actions are the common reasons behind accidents and injuries. Researchers and industry practitioners in developed countries identified more than 12 strategies that might lead to preventing worksite injuries. However, these strategies are specific to the developed context. Developing countries still fail to identify safety strategies that might align with their safety policies and procedures. This paper aims to take the first step towards identifying the best safety strategies in the developing context. Thus, the main research question is how can companies start to implement safety strategies with consideration of their context? This study applied a mixed method to meet the objectives of the study. The Delphi method was used to obtain the needed data. The descriptive analysis shows that four important strategies are identified out of the 12 strategies: Upper Management Support, Safety and Health Committees, Record Keeping and Accident Analysis, and Job Hazard Analyses. The findings of this paper can be used by managers to make defendable decisions to start implementing safety strategies in their organizations. Also, they will illuminate the developing countries' safety culture perspective and the implementation processes.

Published: October 2023

This paper highlights the benefits of adopting and implementing a tailored lean construction strategy with its dynamic action plans during the construction phase of one of Qatar's recently completed infrastructure projects. The study includes using various enhancement measures and criteria combined with best practices by different project teams from all involved parties. The paper also proves the influence of producing a systematic work process during the project life cycle on overcoming challenges and barriers, in which the critical elements of accomplishment, improvements, and the conditions of satisfaction are adequately outlined and recorded. Through this paper, the lead author claims to achieve one primary goal, which is to name the most crucial barriers that affect the deployment of the Lean Construction concept within the construction industry based on data collected from four infrastructure projects, including the evaluated one in this paper. The required data was collected and collated through questionnaire surveys conducted on 57 professionals following many interactive workshops held by the lead author about the importance of Lean Construction implementation in construction projects. Concurrently, data analysis outcomes were used in the PDCA cycle of continuous improvement. The findings emphasize the importance of leadership engagement in lean deployment processes, and training sessions/workshops, besides rewarding the project team members as a pillar towards an ideal productivity level with the practical usage of resources and delivering the utmost value to the client.
Digitalization and usage of QR-code System in Documents Management
Authors: Abdrabou- Adnan Loai
Published: October 2023

Multiple official documents from various departments have contributed to the rising number of printed pages in construction projects. The dominant explanation for this trend is that printed pages have a direct relationship with the progression of the project as the number of quality assurance, quality control documents, health and safety documents, technical documents, lean and enhancement documents, and store documents get increased with the project timeline. The research data was obtained from one of the infrastructure projects in the north of Qatar between 2020 and 2023 and in line with multiple academic references as listed in the last section of the paper (Ågren, 2014). Contrary to what has often been assumed, the rise in printed pages due to mentioned documents contributes to impacting the earth’s environment badly, affecting global warming, cutting additional trees from green lands, reducing project KPIs, increasing overall project budget cost, and generating material waste. Lean enhancement engineers proposed replacing all the above-mentioned documents to be used in the digital format.
