Authors: Pašić-Škripić Dinka , Terzić Adnan , Jahić Amir , Hajdarević Meris
Published: July 2024

Roadways are complex construction (line) facilities that have specific characteristics in terms of planning, design
and execution of the route. Due to the length of the roads, many characteristics of the terrain such as lithological,
hydrogeological, engineering geological and geomorphological change along the route, as a result of which
different effects of endodynamic and exodynamic processes and phenomena occur on certain sections. This points
to the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach when creating the conceptual and implementation project, in
order to choose the optimal solution based on all the influencing parameters.
The route of the road that passes through the Entity of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the most
part stretches along the valley of the Željeznica and Dobrinja rivers. The section is located at stations 0+000.00 –
3+250.00, and continues at stations 19+800.00 – 26+100.00, and the total length is 9,550 m'. The area of the
studied terrain is located in the zone of the inner Dinarides of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the pre-
mountainous and moderate-continental climate prevails. The elevations of the terrain start at 505 m.a.s.l. in the
part of the route near the Stupska petlje loop, and increase to an elevation of 535 m.a.s.l., in the part of
Aerodromski settlement, while the second part of the section stac.19+800.00 – 26+100.00 is defined by elevations
of 778 m.a.s.l. – 830 m.a.s.l.
Key words: hydrogeological characteristics of the aquifer, route of the Sarajevo-Foča road.

Published: July 2024

Over the years, successive administrations in Nigeria have embarked on numerous poverty reduction programmes aimed at reducing the poverty rate in Nigeria. These efforts have not yielded much result as poverty rate has continued to soar and pervade every geo-political zone in Nigeria. The poverty situation, coupled with the low uptake of fish farming technology in the south-east zone has prompted the need to examine the impact of small-scale fish farming on poverty reduction in the south-east zone of Nigeria. The dependent variable of the study is poverty reduction, which has household expenditure as its proxy. The independent variable is small-scale fish farming, proxy by income, employment, food security and consumption multiplier. Data collection was made through in-depth Interview (IDI) guide, while analysis was done using thematic analysis technique. A total of 40 participants, comprising of 30 fish-farm owners and 10 employees were selected purposively from the states of Anambra, Ebonyi and Imo for the interview. The study findings suggest that small-scale fish farmingin the study area impacts positively on poverty reduction, as increase in each of the independent variables tends to increase the dependent variable. The study recommended the establishment of fish farm settlements; granting of credit facilities to fish farmers; establishment of skill acquisition and training centers for farm employees; and improvement electricity supply and road network for lower energy cost and easy transportation of fish products.

Authors: Ezeokoye Lucky Ignatius  , Mbaeri Ndidiamaka Clara  , Ihejirika Andrew Chidiebere
Published: July 2024

This study examined socio-economic factors affecting maternal health in Nigeria. Mothers and children are at the highest risk of disease and death. Deaths of infants and children under-5 years are peculiar and closely related to maternal health, and the risk of death of children increases if their mothers die in childbirth. This study employed secondary data obtained from World Bank, CBN, and Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey from 1990 to 2022. Using the Error Correction Model (ECM), the data were subjected to regression analysis, where we estimated the relationship between dependent variable (maternal mortality) and independent variables (poverty rate, literacy rate, and level of government expenditure on health). The results show that poverty, literacy and government provision of healthcare facilities are major socio-economic factors affecting maternal health in Nigeria. This study therefore, recommended increase in budgetary allocation to the health sector, diversification of the economy aimed at poverty reduction, and the enforcement of free and compulsory basic education especially for the girl child, as the panacea for poor maternal health in Nigeria.

Abstract. The ocean-surface downward longwave radiation (Rl) is one of the most fundamental components of the radiative energy balance, and it has a remarkable influence on air–sea interactions. Because of various shortcomings and limits, a lot of empirical models were established for ocean-surface Rl estimation for practical applications. In this paper, based on comprehensive measurements collected from 65 moored buoys distributed across global seas from 1988 to 2019, a new model for estimating the all-sky ocean-surface Rl at both hourly and daily scales was built. The ocean-surface Rl was formulated as a nonlinear function of the screen-level air temperature, relative humidity, cloud fraction, total column cloud liquid, and ice water. A comprehensive evaluation of this new model relative to eight existing models was conducted under clear-sky and all-sky conditions at daytime/nighttime hourly and daily scales. The validation results showed that the accuracy of the newly constructed model is superior to other models, yielding overall RMSE values of 14.82 and 10.76 W/m2 under clear-sky conditions, and 15.95 and 10.27 W/m2 under all-sky conditions, at hourly and daily scales, respectively. Our analysis indicates that the effects of the total column cloud liquid and ice water on the ocean-surface Rl also need to be considered besides cloud cover. Overall, the newly developed model has strong potential to be widely used.

Published: July 2024

Abstract. As one of the most widely cultivated grain crops, paddy rice is a vital staple food in China and plays a crucial role in ensuring food security. Over the past decades, the planting area of paddy rice in China has shown substantial variability. Yet, there are no long-term high-resolution rice distribution maps in China, which hinders our ability to estimate greenhouse gas fluxes and crop production. This study developed a new optical satellite-based rice mapping method using a machine learning model and appropriate data preprocessing strategies to address the challenges of cloud contamination and missing data in optical remote sensing observations. This study produced CCD-Rice (China Crop Dataset-Rice), the first high-resolution rice distribution dataset in China from 1990 to 2016. Based on 391,659 validation samples, the overall accuracy of the distribution maps in each provincial administrative region averaged 90.26 %. Compared with 20,759 county-level statistical data, the coefficients of determination (R2) of single- and double-season rice in each year averaged 0.84 and 0.80, respectively. The distribution maps can be obtained at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.15865 (Shen et al., 2024a).

Published: July 2024

The aim of this study to analyses the investor sentiment, attentions and types of risk which are incurred after specific event like scam etc. This study used monthly dataset of prices from 2006 to 2022 due to availability of data. The event approach is used for data analysis with different data segregation like affected or unaffected datasets of firms. Firm-specific sentiment and attention increased slightly after the scam, indicating market interest and better firm perceptions. Political, noise trader, arbitrage, sovereign, and realised volatility increased during events. The perception of instability and uncertainty suggests scams increase market fears and risk aversion while attracting attention. A detailed comparison between scammed and unaffected firms showed stark differences. Financial scams lowered market confidence and firm stability, causing negative sentiment, lower attention, and higher risks across multiple dimensions. The differential impact suggests that scams' reputational and operational damage can cripple a firm's finances and investor perceptions. The study affects financial economics and market behaviour theory. The study shows how firm-specific sentiment and attention affect risk measures, explaining market dynamics' psychological and behavioural underpinnings. Financial anomalies like scams affect market outcomes due to investor sentiment and attention. Sentiment can force through risk perceptions, so integrated financial analysis models must account for behavioural and psychological factors. Financial scandals affect firm-specific and market-wide variables, according to event studies. With the insights, investors, regulators, and corporate managers can improve market and regulatory practices. This study examines how financial scams affect firm-specific and market-wide variables using theory and practice during and after event.

Ngugi Wa Thiang’o’s Early Studentship: The Role of Education in the Making of a Great African Literary Writer
Authors: Umar Abdullahi Nasir
Published: July 2024

Do you know that most prolific or acclaimed writers the world celebrates have detected their talent since their prime? Do you also know that some renowned writers taught themselves or were taught by their masters at home prior to when they began to write? Do you know that some of them have not acquired profound formal education up to the university? Yet, it should be known that there are innumerable others, who greatly vary, for they have deeply studied instead. Writing is a natural prodigy; hence it requires no profound literacy to blossom. Take some immediate common instances in mind: Daniel Defoe, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, Joseph Conrad, Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Sembene Ousmene, Wole Soyinka, Aye Kwei Armah, Naguib Mahfouz, Ngugi wa Thiong’o to name just but a few. At any rate, education is the fulcrum and the nucleus to writing no matter how little it is acquired. This is the focus of which this paper is concerned about. Its prime goal is to unveil how Ngugi’s early educational sojourn from the primary school through to the university has rolled out the writing carpet for him to step on as a novice writer, and to keep striding on it with varying degrees of artistic, strength and vigour, which subsequently cleared the challenging path for him to emerge as a legendary and dynamic African writer.

The blue swimming crabs (BSC) fishing industry in Indonesia is heading towards an imbalance between demand and sustainability of its resources, a factor in supply. The mismanagement of traceability data and information in the supply chain is suspected to be one of the causes adding to the complexity of recent BSC fisheries management. This research aimed to identify BSC supply chain patterns and their issues, especially on two coastal regencies on the North Coast of the Java Sea. The research was conducted during June and December 2023 in Cirebon Regency and Rembang Regency. The study enlisted 70 participants, comprising fishermen, traders, processors, and exporters, with data acquisition facilitated through surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. Respondent selection employed purposive sampling, while snowball sampling identified pertinent informants within the supply chain. Data analysis encompassed qualitative description and Likert-type scale perception analysis. The findings show that the BSC fishing industry on the North Coast of the Java Sea operates as small-scale fisheries (SSF), with unique vessel types, gear, and socioeconomic conditions crucial for livelihoods. Fishermen prioritize sustainability by using small vessels and traditional gear despite limited education. The BSC supply chain involves stakeholders offering high-value products, yet by-product utilization potential is untapped, requiring improved coordination and innovation. Challenges include export standards, market fluctuations, and product safety, addressed through regulatory support and collaboration. Government regulations, fishermen groups, and data traceability enhance market transparency and sustainability. Therefore, collective action and innovative approaches are vital for long-term economic prosperity and environmental stewardship in the BSC supply chain.

This study examines the impact of customer relationship management (CRM) practices and social media marketing (SMM) activities on customer retention among MSMEs in Aceh. It considers the dual role of social media in relationship management (CRM) and business engagement (SMM). Recognizing the widespread use of social media, the study explores different stages of its adoption and utilization in business. A formalized social media business profile is used as the moderating variable, defined by a firm's formal allocation of responsibility, outsourcing, funding, governance of social media, and broader changes to structure, processes, leadership, training, and culture. Data was collected from 565 MSMEs using questionnaires and analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group analysis. The results demonstrated a high predictive power of the model on customer retention. Within CRM, the findings indicated a significant difference in the effect of key customer focus on customer retention, with higher effects observed in MSMEs that do not formalize their social media business profiles. Additionally, technology-based CRM showed significantly higher effects on customer retention for those who formalize their social media profiles. Within SMM, the study revealed significant differences in the effects of customization and trendiness on customer retention, both of which were more pronounced in MSMEs without formalized social media profiles. Furthermore, word-of-mouth had a significantly higher impact on customer retention for MSMEs with formalized social media profiles. This research contributes theoretically by developing an integrated framework that identifies how key customer focus, CRM organization, knowledge management, technology-based CRM, customization, entertainment, interaction, trendiness, and word-of-mouth influence customer retention. It also explores the moderating effects of formalized social media business profiles on CRM practices and SMM activities within MSMEs.

The coal mining industry is one of the largest contributors to Indonesia’s economy and greenhouse gas emissions at the same time. Indonesian coal mining companies will inevitably expand their business to meet the demand and targets. But Indonesia already set its ambition to become a net-zero country by 2060 or earlier. Without a robust decarbonization strategy at the company level, Indonesia will face difficulties meeting the net-zero target. This study proposes to use one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal, Solution method within the Political, Economic, Social, Technology, Environmental, and Legal criteria to assess five prioritized decarbonization strategies, which are renewable energy, equipment electrification, business shifting, process efficiency, carbon offset. The analysis will evaluate essential sub-criteria such as regulation compliance, investment, social acceptance, technological readiness, and emissions reduction. The data was acquired from a survey of coal mining stakeholders, other journal reviews, and company disclosures. The final results show that process efficiency scores highest on the selected criteria due to high economic and technological value. Meanwhile, other criteria like carbon offset, renewable energy use, and equipment electrification receive lower scores.

Diacetin and triacetin, suitable as biofuel additives, are produced using biogenic silica from bamboo leaves, which is chemically activated with strong acid and calcined. No research has utilized silica catalysts derived from bamboo leaf ash to produce diacetin and triacetin. This study aims to employ bamboo leaf-based heterogeneous catalysts to enhance triacetin selectivity, simplify product purification and separation, and enable catalyst reuse. Furthermore, microwave application can accelerate the reaction time. The best total selectivity for diacetin and triacetin was obtained under operating conditions of 3% catalyst concentration, a 1:6 molar ratio, and 60 minutes of microwave irradiation. The yields of diacetin and triacetin under these conditions were 65.80% and 18.70%, respectively. GC-MS and FTIR analysis confirm the presence of monoacetin, diacetin, and triacetin, with a total selectivity for diacetin and triacetin of 84,50%.
Significant Differences Between the IQ Scores of Mathematics Students based on Regression Analysis and Factorial Experimental Design
Authors: Hadeel Salim Alkutubi
Published: July 2024

In this research, data on general intelligence and emotional intelligence scores were analyzed and the difference between them was studied in terms of their application to students of the Mathematics Department in the four stages in the College of Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Kufa for the academic year 2023-2024. Four statistical methods were used. The first was multiple regression analysis to study the extent to which each student's mathematics score was affected on the general intelligence and emotional intelligence tests (Y), by the student's gender (X1) and his type of residence (X2). The second statistical method is to analyze the design of a factorial experiment to study the presence or absence of significant differences between the grades of students in the four stages by classifying the students in the four stages into males and females, as well as studying the significant difference in the scores of the two intelligence tests (general and emotional) for students in the Mathematics Department in general and divided according to gender. requester. The third method of analysis was to analyze the design of a completely randomized experiment to study the significant differences in students’ intelligence scores between the four academic levels in the mathematics department. If there is a significant difference in the results of analyzing the data in the above methods, then we use the fourth statistical method in this research, which is the analysis of the least significant difference test to study the differences between each two groups separately. The results of the data analysis were numerous, the most important of which is that the intelligence scores in the two tests (general intelligence and emotional intelligence) do not depend on nor are affected by the student’s gender or type of residence. In addition, intelligence scores were not affected for the four educational levels.

Deep Learning for Skin Cancer Classification: A Comparative Study of CNN and Vgg16 on HAM10000 Dataset
Authors: Yashwant S. Ingle
Published: July 2024

Skin cancer is one of the most dangerous types of cancer among the cancers. The early detection of skin cancer helps resolve it. Hence, it is necessary to diagnose the disease as early as possible. This paper presents Convolutional Neural Networks and the Vgg16 algorithm to recognize skin cancer types. The HAM10000 dataset, which comprises seven distinct forms of skin cancer, melanocytic nevi (nv), Melanoma (mel), basal cell carcinoma (bcc), actinic keratoses (akiec), vascular lesions (vasc), and dermatofibroma (df). This system aims to improve classification accuracy; the methodology necessitates extensive dataset preparation, including scaling, normalization, and augmentation. The Vgg16 algorithm, when combined with the CNN architecture, offers a robust basis for the classification of skin cancer. Comprehensive details on regularization techniques, optimization strategies, and training parameters are included to ensure openness and reproducibility. The system's performance is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score for every type of skin cancer. This paper highlights the usefulness of the proposed method in skin cancer diagnosis and looks at challenges, constraints, and prospects for further research. New methods for identifying skin cancer are being developed with the help of this research, which can improve patient outcomes and clinical decision-making.
Theoretical Foundation, Topological Technique, and Decision-Making Application of Intuitionistic Fuzzy D-Algebra
Authors: M. Siva
Published: July 2024

Intuitionistic fuzzy D-algebra introduces a novel framework extending classical fuzzy algebra by incorporating degrees of membership and non-membership. This approach addresses the inherent uncertainty and imprecision in real-world systems. Topological techniques facilitate the analysis of convergence and continuity properties, ensuring the robustness of mathematical models. The need for such a framework arises from the limitations of classical fuzzy algebra in capturing nuanced degrees of uncertainty. Real-world decision-making processes often involve complex, ambiguous information that cannot be adequately represented by binary membership functions alone. Intuitionistic fuzzy D-algebra offers a more nuanced representation, expressing hesitation and uncertainty inherent in decision-making contexts. The proposed work comprehensively explores intuitionistic fuzzy D-algebra, including the formal definition of core structures, mathematical modelling, validation strategies through examples and counterexamples, and the development of interactive visualizations. By integrating computational tools and theoretical insights, this framework provides a versatile platform for addressing uncertainty in various domains, from decision-making systems to artificial intelligence, thus paving the way for innovative solutions and improved decision outcomes. The results provide an immersive exploration into the intricacies of intuitionistic fuzzy D-algebra. From the transformation of fuzzy sets into topological spaces to the dynamic manipulation of algebraic operations, each visualization offers an intense dive into understanding uncertainty and imprecision. The visuals serve as powerful educational tools, enabling a profound grasp of complex mathematical concepts and their practical implications in decision-making systems and artificial intelligence.

Authors: Ardila-Suárez Edinson Fabian , Estévez-Mendoza Helga Johanna , Ríos-Arbeláez María Camila , Ramírez-Llano Diana Marcela
Published: July 2024

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to the nursing staff, who were at the forefront of patient care and their families. Exposed to the virus due to strenuous work schedules and other factors, their health was at risk. However, they took proactive self-care actions to counteract these factors, promote self-health, and prevent the onset of diseases caused by stressors from the pandemic. These actions, identified in the literature published between 2020-2023, have significantly impacted their individual and collective health. Objective: To identify the self-care strategies implemented by nursing professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze them in the light of Giddens’ theoretical proposal. Materials and methods: An integrative literature review under a descriptive scope was conducted between June and September 2023 in the following databases: Pubmed, Scielo, Science Direct, Lilacs, and Google Scholar; also, PRISMA recommendations were taken into account for the organization of the search. Results: 40 articles, published between 2020 and 2023 and representing for different methodological designs, were included in the review. The self-care implemented by nurses during the pandemic was assessed in the light of Giddens’ theoretical proposal under two types of actions: intentional, which account for physical, mental, and emotional health care activities, and deliberate, which focus on care at a social level. Conclusions: The identified self-care actions were oriented toward the promotion of individual and collective health of workers, the reduction of employee turnover, the recognition of stress, and the strengthening of resilience, which can also be implemented nowadays.
