The aim of the work is to study the static parameters of a pushing unit based on a uniaxial mobile power vehicle (UMPV). The article gives the analysis of the influence of the parameters of ballasting and traction load on the reaction of the wheel, the reaction of the support heel of the plow, the weight distribution coefficient, the force on the control handles. Using the MATLAB software, a computer model is implemented that makes it possible to take into account the influence of various parameters of the pushing unit when they change on its static indicators. It is found that in a pushing unit based on the UMPV, a growth in the weight of ballast loads Gб increases the loading of the driving wheels, improving the traction properties of the unit compared to the traction unit based on the UMPV. It is shown that increase in the traction load Rx and the distance aн to agricultural equipment leads to an increase in the load on the driving wheels and control handles, the weight of ballast loads is 0.07...0.35 kN, which is less than that for a traction unit based on UMPV (0.1...0.45 kN).

The objective of study is to determine the effective Young modulus before and after the completed osseointegration process using mathematical modelling of a titanium porous structure. A novel model is proposed in the form of 3D arrays of Gibson-Ashby cells with rigid clamping of horizontal beams resting on elastic foundation. Calculations made on the basis of the developed model are compared with known models and literature data. The assumption is proved that the osseointegration process due to the bone tissues ingrowth into the pores of titanium implant could affect the Young modulus increasing its value in proportion to porosity of a specimen.

Agricultural sustainability is becoming more and more important with the increasing world population. Therefore, the dissemination of sustainable agricultural practices; It is extremely important for future generations in terms of protecting the environment and natural resources, ensuring economic stability and increasing sustainable food production. This study investigates the sustainability in agriculture for Türkiye in terms of irrigation and economic factors in crop production change. Using the ARDL error correction model and Granger causality analysis methods for the period between 1995 and 2020, the short and long-term relationship between irrigation and economic factors and crop production value variables were analyzed. The research found that, the relationship between inflation variables irrigation, irrigation and the crop production value was found to be significant. In terms of agricultural sustainability, while the increase in the land opened to irrigation has led to an increase in crop production, the increase in the use of clean water from existing surface and groundwater resources has negatively affected the value of crop production. This has shown how important the water source and economic stability are in the sustainability of agriculture.

Published: June 2023

The severe repercussions of the global climate catastrophe are being felt all across the world. Each industrialized and developing country must take action in response to the consequences of global climate change that endanger life on our planet. This study looks into how green finance has affected Bangladeshi private commercial banks' financial performance. For eight years, from 2014 to 2021, all private commercial banks are surveyed quarterly for secondary data. The performance of the banks is evaluated using return on assets, return on equity, net interest margin, and net non-performing loan to total loan ratios, whereas green finance is used as an independent variable. The study uses linear regression and questionnaire analysis to deter- mine the impact of green finance on a bank’s financial performance. According to the study, at a 10% significance level, green finance has a negligible positive effect on return on assets but a significant positive impact on return on equity, net interest mar- gin, and net non-performing loans to total loan ratio. The questionnaire analysis also demonstrates green finance's significant impact on banks’ performance. This study can be used as a starting point for policy discussions with practitioners, governments, decision-makers, academics, and future researchers.

This paper discussed the concept of the Indigenous Peoples based on the cultural concept of ethnolinguistics group in the Philippines that are in the level of endangerment. The objectives of this study are the following: to identify who are the indigenous of the Philippines by highlighting distinct cultures and practices of indigenous peoples such as hunting, family, rituals, and other cultural aspects; to enumerate the specific terms used by indigenous peoples related to their indigenous ways and practices; to analyze how their indigenous system and practices significant to their assertion as indigenous peoples; and to explore the issues and challenges faced by indigenous peoples in the country. The development of the identity and concept of indigenous peoples is anchored on the internal and external experiences of the community. External factors refer to social norms, standards, and policies that affect the assertion of the indigenous peoples in the country, while internal factors refer to the lens or perspective of indigenous peoples based on their organic culture and indigenous narratives. External factors include the Republic Act No. 8371 also known as Indigenous Peoples Right Act of 1997 (IPRA 1997) and other government policies, while community assertions and indigenous cultures are used as an internal basis for understanding the concept of "indigenous." The negotiation of two factors is essential to understand the concept of Indigenous Peoples. In relation community assertion and indigenous cultures, this study presented some terminologies of the unique cultures and indigenous knowledge of the Dumagat- Bulos from Sierra Mountain range of Doña Remedios Tridinad, Bulacan, Philippines.
Aantekeninge: The dismantling force of smart contracts in South African policyholder protection
Authors: Van Eck Michele , Huneberg Samantha
Published: June 2023

Tradisionele geskrewe kontrakte word in natuurlike (of menslike) taalstrukture uitgedruk. Die gebruik van natuurlike taal het egter sy eie uitdagings. Eerstens is natuurlike taal wat in kontrakte gebruik word, deurspek met dubbelsinnigheid en tweedens word natuurlike taal in kontrakte dikwels die slagoffer van tegniese taal, wat dit moeilik maak vir ’n leek om die inhoud van die dokument te verstaan. Om hierdie rede is strenger wetgewende maatreëls ingestel, soos die 2017 Polishouerbeskermingsreëls en die Verbruikersbeskermingswet 68 van 2008. Digitale innovasie het die wyse van kontraktering verander, en baie kontrakte word nou elektronies gesluit, en met meer onlangse innovasies is sekere kontrakte nou gekodeerde rekenaarprogramme wat slimkontrakte genoem word. Sulke slimkontrakte kan die vorm aanneem van (i) ’n natuurlike taalkontrak met outomatiese kontraktuele prestasie, (ii) ’n hibriede kontrak, of (iii) ’n ten volle outomatiese en gekodeerde kontrak. Daarbenewens het die versekeringsbedryf unieke produkte ontwikkel wat digitale innovasie en tegnologiese ontwikkelings behels, soos parametriese- en mikroversekeringsmodelle. Hierin kan slimkontrakte konseptueel gebruik word om parametrieses en mikroversekeringsmodelle te ondersteun. Daar is egter min nagedink oor hoe dit kwesbare polishouers se vermoë kan beïnvloed om digitale kontrakteringstrukture te verstaan, soos die slimkontrakte wat op die onderliggende kode rus en die polishouer se digitale geletterdheid bevraagteken. Die outeurs bespreek die potensiële tekort wat die gebruik van tegnologieë, soos slimkontrakte, op kwesbare polishouers in die Suid-Afrikaanse versekeringsmark sou hê deur die aard van slimkontrakte en hul gebruik in parametriese versekering in ag te neem, en ontleed ook die bestaande Polishouerbeskermingsreëls (in vergelyking met die beskerming van polishouers in die Verenigde Koninkryk) om te bepaal of die bestaande beskerming voldoende sal wees om polishouers wat “slim” versekeringskontrakte sluit, te beskerm. Alhoewel daar voordele is aan die gebruik van slimkontrakte is daar tog verskeie faktore wat in ag geneem moet word, soos (i) die betroubaarheid van die databronne van die slimkontrak, (ii) die gebrek aan wetgewende beskerming van polishouers in die gebruik van gekodeerde taal wat in slimkontrakte gebruik word, (iii) die lae digitale geletterdheidsyfers en (iv) die vereiste om geoutomatiseerde transaksies in ’n natuurlike taaldokument te plaas as gevolg van artikel 20(d) van die Wet op Elektroniese Kommunikasie en Transaksies 25 van 2002. Die skrywers stel voor dat dit dalk nodig is vir die Suid-Afrikaanse wetgewer en die versekeringsbedryf om hierdie faktore in ag te neem en bykomende regulatoriese beheermaatreëls in te stel vir die gebruik van slimkontrakte in versekering, spesifiek om polishouers te beskerm met betrekking tot digitale geletterdheid wanneer ’n “slim” versekeringskontrak gesluit word.
The Role of Genetic in Sex Orientation Preference
Authors: Landon Grayson
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine the role of genetic in sex orientation preference.

Methodology: This study adopted a desktop methodology. This study used secondary data from which include review of existing literature from already published studies and reports that was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: The study found that genetic markers and variations related to hormone regulation and neural development have been identified as potential contributors, indicating a genetic influence on sexual orientation. Epigenetic factors such as modifications in gene expression, may also be involved in shaping sexual orientation. However, it is important to note that genetics alone cannot fully determine sexual orientation, as it is influenced by a combination of genetic, biological, hormonal, and environmental factors.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was anchored on evolutionary theory of sexual orientation proposed by and epigenetic theory of sexual orientation propounded by Dr. William Rice, an evolutionary biologist. The study recommended the integration of genetic knowledge into therapeutic practices can help reduce stigma and promote self-acceptance among individuals with diverse sexual orientations. It is also crucial to promote policies that protect the rights and well-being of individuals with diverse sexual orientations and address discrimination and prejudice.

Published: June 2023

Contact plate freezer (CPF) is a cooling machine unit for freezing products which of course will maintain product freshness. In Order to runs smoothly, one thing that must be considered of the cooling system is the cooling load on the freezer contact plate. The cooling load is the amount of heat absorbed per unit time. The refrigeration cycle at PT. Trimitra Makmur uses a combined refrigeration cycle (multi-stage cycle), uses two cycles of vapor compression using two single-stage compressors. The two compressors used have the same power of 55.92 kW. The cooling load on the contact plate freezer consists of product heat load, water heat load, internal heat load, and transmission heat load. In The contact plate freezer, infiltration or heat load from the outside air are not counted because during production the contact plate freezer door is closed tightly so that the air exchange value is very small and can be neglected. In this study, the average total load on contact plate freezer 1 was 23.07079 kW, so that the average total load on the three contact plate freezers at PT. Trimitra Makmur is 69.21237 kW. The results of data collection and calculations show that the COP (Coefficient of Performance) value for the high-stage cycle is 4.33, so that the high-stage compressor power used is 1/4.33 of the cooling capacity of the contact plate freezer. Whereas in the booster cycle, a COP of 6.49 was obtained, so that the booster compressor power used was 1/6.49 of the cooling capacity of the contact plate freezer.

Coupling in metamaterial structures and devices ﻿
Authors:   , Biurrun Quel Carlos
Published: June 2023

This Doctoral Thesis deals with the development of new passive technologies for their implementation at high frequencies, specifically in the millimetre wave (mmWave) and Terahertz (THz) region – up to 300 GHz – with the aim of improving the performance and efficiency of such systems. This objective is approached from three different points: the integration of high-frequency sources, the non-radiated propagation of the signals generated by these sources, and the radiation of these signals and the control of this radiation. The original approach of the Dissertation, reflected in its first part, is the integration of uni-travelling carrier photodiodes (UTC-PD) in modules with rectangular waveguide output. To this end, two waveguide transition designs have been proposed, one of them serving simultaneously as a power combiner. These designs have been developed based on the fundamental premise of matching the complex impedance of the photodiodes. The second part of this Thesis deals with the conception, development and validation of a new transmission line technology for high frequencies, coined as Gap CoplanarWaveguide, which allows preventing the propagation of substrate modes, as well as reducing the losses due to the dielectric materials used in the line. Finally, the third part of this Thesis revisits the concept of Coherent Radiation Periodic Structure-Based Beamforming Networks (CORPS-BFN), a type of network developed by our group almost two decades ago. The objective of this Thesis in this regard has been to study the feasibility of these networks in Terahertz systems, which has been experimentally validated with the fabrication of a prototype working at 300 GHz and the demonstration of the ability to control the radiation direction of an antenna array fed by this type of network in a two-dimensional environment.

Desde la antigüedad hasta hoy, la tradición vitruviana ha dominado los modos en que se ha entendido el oficio de la arquitectura y la figura del arquitecto en Occidente.

Territorio y urbanización: aproximaciones al espacio mundial post-capitalista
Authors: Salgueiro Barrio Roi
Published: June 2023

Este artículo explora el valor que las nociones y estrategias espaciales pueden tener para transitar hacia una sociedad poscapitalista. La expansión planetaria del capital, conocida habitualmente como globalización, ha estado acompañada por la extensión planetaria de la urbanización, hasta el punto de que ambas resultan inseparables. Como ha sido reiteradamente teorizado por geógrafos y urbanistas como Henri Lefebvre, David Harvey o Manuel de Solà-Morales, la urbanización no es una súper estructura cultural, sino un factor de producción que ha actuado como motor fundamental del desarrollo capitalista. La posibilidad de una sociedad poscapitalista requiere, por lo tanto, cuestionar la idea de urbanización y desarrollar categorías alternativas. Este artículo examina la noción de territorio y el valor del diseño territorial como agentes de cambio que permiten desarrollar una biopolítica positiva y nuevos vínculos entre condiciones y singularidades locales, procesos y problemas globales.

Ortaçağ Türk-İslam Devletleri içerisinde en güçlü ve nüfuzlu devletlerden birisini teşkil eden Memlûk Devleti, 1250-1517 yılları arasında Mısır ve Suriye’de hâkimiyet sürmüştür. Bu devlet, sahip olduğu bazı özellikleri sebebiyle Türk-İslam Devletleri’nden farklılık göstermektedir. Memlûk Devleti’ni, diğer devletlerden farklı kılan ve tarihlerini de bir bakıma ilgi çekici yapan sebepler ise; öncelikle onların, Sultanlık makamı gibi devletin üst düzey görevlerinde yer almalarından önceki süreç içerisinde, köle kimliğine sahip olmalarıdır. Ayrıca memlûk sisteminin en mütekâmil bir şekilde uygulandığı Memlûk Devleti’nde, saltanat için veraset sistemi yani saltanatın babadan oğula intikali anlayışı bulunmamaktaydı. Son olarak, askeri bir karaktere sahip olan Memlûk Devleti, etnik menşei, dil vs. her bakımdan kendilerinden farklı olan bir topluma, 267 sene hükmedip, esasında ait olmadıkları ancak hâkim oldukları sahaların sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel bakımlardan gelişimine katkı sağlamışlardır. Biz bu çalışma ile Memlûklerin yöneticisi oldukları Mısır ve Suriye sahasında, yerli halk üzerinde nasıl hâkimiyet ve nüfuz sağladıklarını yöneten yönetilen ilişkisi bağlamında izah etmeye çalışacağız.

Published: June 2023

The occurrence of localized corrosion in carbon steel pipelines, even when the uniform corrosion rate remains low, is a major concern in the hydrocarbon production and transmission industry. The propagation of these pits, caused by the galvanic coupling between the inhibited surface and the active pit, can lead to serious consequences such as financial loss, environmental damage, production interruption, and even loss of life. To better understand this phenomenon, this work focuses on using the potentiostatic technique to evaluate the tendency of localized corrosion propagation. The experiments were conducted using a primarily imidazolinium-based corrosion inhibitor in produced water conditions (5 wt% NaCl, pH 4.5, CO2-saturated) at 55°C and 80°C. The baseline results were obtained through linear polarization resistance and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The potentiostatic experiments were then conducted to artificially simulate different levels of galvanic coupling that could exist in case of active localized corrosion. The results showed that, at certain anodic potentials, increased inhibitor dosage was necessary to significantly decrease the current. However, at high current levels, further injections were insufficient, indicating that substrate dissolution may affect the adsorption of the inhibitor. This work provides insights into the role of inhibitors and important factors in stopping the propagation of localized corrosion of carbon steel. Further research, such as designing a proper zero-resistance ammeter setup, will be necessary to fully understand this complex phenomenon. The results show that the potentiostatic methodology can be a rapid and easy alternative to obtain electrochemical information and improve understanding of localized corrosion propagation.

Published: June 2023

With the ethanol production expansion in Brazil, there was an increase in the production of vinasse, an effluent from sugar and alcohol industry, which under certain conditions can be used for fertirrigation of sugarcane crops. The research aimed to evaluate the effect of vinasse applied in the period from 2012 to 2017, considering the chemical and mineralogical properties of the soil of a farm located in Santa Cruz das Palmeiras-SP, Brazil. From the results obtained, it was possible to observe that in 2014, which was the year of highest calculation of vinasse dosage, low fertility conditions occurred with high concentrations of H+Al and total CEC. The temporal analysis of one of the farm fields exposed that, in controlled doses, the application of vinasse can improve soil fertility and promote the reduction of acidity and aluminum toxicity. The granulometric and mineralogical tests characterize the studied soil as a sandy soil with high concentrations of silicates and oxides of iron and aluminum. The research evaluated the possibility of leaching of base cations and concentration of H+Al in rainy periods, while moisture and macronutrients would be replaced with fertirrigation in dry periods.

As Lagoas de Pituaçú, Abaeté, Tororó e Paixão, no município de Salvador-BA (Brasil) apresentam em comum a inserção de um ecossistema lêntico no meio urbano de uma cidade em desenvolvimento. Esta pesquisa descreve o padrão de variação sazonal de parâmetros físico-químicos não conservativos e biológicos durante os anos de 2017 e 2018 em 16 pontos distribuídos espacialmente nas quatro lagoas durante o período chuvoso (compreendido entre os meses de abril a julho) e seco (de agosto a novembro). A qualidade da água foi determinada em acordo com o índice de Qualidade da Água (IQA) e aplicação do Índice de Estado Trófico (IET), além das classes de Resolução CONAMA 357/2005. Os resultados evidenciaram que as quatro lagoas monitoradas exibem alguns parâmetros fora das conformidades estabelecidas pelo CONAMA, além disso apresentam-se fortemente eutrofizadas, mas de forma contrastante, com boas classificações de qualidade considerando seu uso, com exceção da Lagoa de Pituaçú. Conclui-se que avaliações sistemáticas devem ser consideradas com maior frequência com o objetivo de colher maiores e mais precisas informações sobre as condições de qualidade destes ecossistemas, e estudar suas alterações de qualidade como reflexo do condicionante urbano sobre sua conservação.

Published: June 2023

Introduction

This study aimed to explore the effect of curcumin on the activity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced proximal renal tubular epithelial cells (PRTECs) and to analyze the molecular mechanism by which curcumin regulates their occurrence.

Material and methods

LPS-induced PRTECs were used to construct an inflammatory cell model. RT-qPCR and western blot (WB) were used to detect ADAMTS18 expression. Methylation-specific PCR was used to detect ADAMTS18 methylation levels. After curcumin treatment, MTT assay was used to analyze cell viability, flow cytometry was used to analyze apoptosis, and ADAMTS18 expression and methylation levels were detected again. After transfection with siADAMTS18, cell viability and apoptosis were analyzed again. The levels of inflammatory factors were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the expression levels of AKT, Notch-1 and Notch-2 were analyzed by WB.

Results

Curcumin strongly inhibited LPS-induced PRTEC inflammatory lesions, restored normal cell proliferation, and reduced the apoptosis rate by downregulating ADAMTS18 methylation and restoring ADAMTS18 expression. After siADAMTS18, the ability of curcumin to improve cell viability was reduced, and the ability of curcumin to downregulate inflammatory factors was significantly reduced. Besides, curcumin could also inhibit the expressions of AKT, Notch-1 and Notch-2 simultaneously. siADAMTS18 attenuated the abovementioned effects of curcumin.

Conclusions

Curcumin inhibits LPS-induced PRTECs death by regulating ADAMTS18 methylation and AKT/Notch pathways.

Introduction

-

Material and methods

The possible role of Urolithin A (UA) and Urolithin B (UB) on the induction of LDL uptake and the expression of its regulatory genes was eexplored using HepG2 cells and curcumin (20 uM), berberine (50 uM), UA (80 uM), and UB (80 uM) as the treatments in the experimental tests.

Results

The LDL uptake as well as cell-surface LDLR were higher in cells treated with UA in compari-son with cells treated with UB, and even in relation to the cells treated with curcumin and ber-berine as positive controls. In addition, cells treated with UB showed approximately 2 times greater LDLR expression levels compared with curcumin (FC: 2.144, P=0.013) and berberine (FC: 2.761, P=0.006). However, UA treatment resulted in significantly lower expression levels of LDLR compared with curcumin (FC: 0.274, P<0.001) and berberine (FC: 0.352, P=0.009). UB demonstrated approximately 8 times greater LDLR expression levels when compared with UA (FC:7.835, P=0.001). Compared with UB, as well as curcumin and berberine as positive controls, UA was more efficient in reducing PCSK9 expression levels. Although UB did not show any significant differences compared with curcumin and berberine, it illustrated higher levels of PCSK9 expression when compared with the UA group (FC: 3.694, P<0.001).

Conclusions

The present results support that UA was more effective than UB in promoting LDL uptake as well as cell surface LDLR in HepG2 cells. This effect seems to be mostly mediated through the sup-pression of PCSK9 expression but not the induction of LDLR expression.
A Mobile Application for Creating Dance Choreography according to Musicality of Inputted Audio using Machine Learning
Authors: Brown Keren , Wei David
Published: June 2023

Even the best writers in history were not blessed enough to have a constant surge of inspiration, a never-endingflowof ink on paper, or fingers flying across keyboards. These blocks in creativity are commonly known as writer's block, and many people experience this, since communication is important in every subject. Less commonly knownisdancer's block, which is when a choreographer experiences a stop in inspiration while choreographing [1]. Theseblocks can continue for days or even weeks, before an idea strikes the dancer, setting back the ef iciency of choreographing. When due dates come into play, such as choreographing for a production, show, or assignment, adancer cannot put forth their best choreography, and will be left feeling unsatisfied with the quality of their work. When a choreographer faces a challenge towards creating original choreography, how can one gain inspirationtoovercome this block [2]? How can we ensure that the inspiration given is appropriate for the song and style whichthe choreographer is designing the dance to? This paper develops an application to choreograph visuals inacreative manner, while assessing the musicality of the audio in order to reflect the same emotion in the movement. We applied our application to a jazz piece to be performed as part of a local high school dance show and conducteda qualitative evaluation of the approach. The results show that with the software application, dancers will be abletofind inspiration to continue choreographing, pushing them past a barrier of creativity, and allowing themto finishtheir dance with a quality of choreography that they can be proud to present [3].
Creating an Equitable Option for High School Internship Opportunities: An Online Platform for Efficiently Connecting Students and Employers
Authors: Vuong Eiffel , Jones Kevin
Published: June 2023

Internships are nearly impossible to find as a highschooler outside of paying for one or having familial connections[1]. A reason for this is that there are only substandard public resources for finding these internships as ahighschooler [2]. So, by creating an equitable option through an online website, highschoolers would be able tofindinternships much better. Within the proposed website would include ways to search/filter for internships, haveemployers create accounts and create internship posts. Students would also need to quickly be able to browseinternship options, which was fixed through adding a list of random internships of dif erent varieties that canbescrolled through on the main page [3]. With this ease of access to obtaining an internship, many highschoolerswould be able to find what interests them easily and help them find experiences that are more worthwhile beyondjust the skills they learn such as helping with college applications or getting a job [4].

Intrusion detection is an important research topic in network security because of increasing growth in the use of computer network services. Intrusion detection is done with the aim of detecting the unauthorized use or abuse in the networks and systems by the intruders. Therefore, the intrusion detection system is an efficient tool to control the user's access through some predefined regulations. Since, the data used in intrusion detection system has high dimension, a proper representation is required to show the basis structure of this data. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the redundant features to create the best representation subset. In the proposed method, a hybrid model of differential evolution and firefly algorithms was employed to choose the best subset of properties. In addition, decision tree and support vector machine (SVM) are adopted to determine the quality of the selected properties. In the first, the sorted population is divided into two sub-populations. These optimization algorithms were implemented on these subpopulations, respectively. Then, these sub-populations are merged to create next repetition population. The performance evaluation of the proposed method is done based on KDD Cup99. The simulation results show that the proposed method has better performance than the other methods in this context.
Deuterium: A Secure Protocol for Group Messaging with Rotating Keys and Identity Verification
Authors: Jin Xiyou , Sahagun Jonathan
Published: June 2023

Deuterium is a protocol for instant messaging that allows users to join a channel, securely exchange messages, and rotate the group key for security purposes. When a user wants to join a channel, they must first send their public key, wallet address, and a digital signature to verify their identity. If the user's identity is successfully verified, the channelâ€™s creator will perform an elliptic Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange with the user using curve25519,generating a group key for encrypting messages in the channel. The group key is periodically rotated for security purposes. Users can send messages to the channel by encrypting them with the X25519-XSalsa-Poly1305 algorithm, including a Galois Message Authentication Code instead of an index after keys are exchanged, and attaching a digital signature to verify the authenticity of the message. The protocol also includes a "Termination event" for handling errors or exceptions that may occur during key exchange or message exchange.

School accidents have still been a major problem that happens frequently over decades [1]. Safety hazards are alsothe problem that parents and teachers were worried about, especially campus fire [2]. Schools are the main placeswhere we study and live, and are also special places where a large number of minors gather. How to do a goodjobin campus fire safety is not only related to the normal order of education and teaching on campus, but also tothesafety of teachers and students. the vital interests of households and the future of the motherland. Accordingtostatistics, more than 80% of school fires are caused by human factors, and classrooms, student dormitories, restaurants and other living places are more prone to fires. Habitual violations of regulations have become oneof the main factors that cause fires [3]. However, base on all those type of question, this paper designs an game forpreventing campus fire and other types of safety hazards might appearances at school. Our design builds upononunity engine and C# script [4].

This study evaluated the accuracy and reliability of Voice Note Taking, a technology designed to transcribe spoken language and support note-taking. The experiment analyzed the transcription accuracy and word definition selection feature of Voice Note Taking using a series of audio files featuring individuals speaking in English in different settings. The results showed that Voice Note Taking is reliable and accurate, with an overall transcription accuracy rate of 87.81%. However, the study identified room for improvement, particularly in improving accuracy in noisy environments and developing more sophisticated algorithms for word definition selection. Future research could explore the integration of advanced natural language processing techniques to improve the accuracy of word definition selection, including leveraging machine learning algorithms to recognize the specific context and meaning of words. Several previous studies have shown the potential of mobile note-taking apps to enhance student achievement, satisfaction, and accessibility, suggesting further research in this area. Overall, this study highlights the strengths and limitations of Voice Note Taking and provides insight into potential areas for future development.
