Estimating the Confidence Intervals for the Coefficients of Variation Delta-Gamma Distributions
Authors: Khooriphan Wansiri , Niwitpong Sa-Aat , Niwitpong Suparat
Published: October 2024

A common application of the coefficient of variation (CV), which is the ratio of the population standard deviation to the population mean, is frequently used to assess quality control and economic processes, among others. The fiducial quantity approach, Bayesian confidence intervals (CIs) using the Jeffreys, uniform, or normal-gamma-beta (NGB) priors, and highest posterior density (HPD) intervals using the Jeffreys, uniform, or NGB priors were used to provide estimators for the CI for the ratio of CV of two delta-gamma distributions. An evaluation of their performance in terms of average length and coverage probability was carried out using Monte Carlo simulations. The results of this study indicate that the HPD using the Jeffreys prior and fiducial quantity methods are the best for estimating the CI for the ratio of the CV of two delta-gamma distributions. Rainfall data from Mae Hong Son province in Thailand was used to illustrate their practicability when analyzing real-life processes.
Method for Determining the Conditions for Ensuring Stable Rearward Movement of a Semi-trailer Combination with Non-turning Semi-trailer Wheels
Authors: Kolisnyk Maryna , Piskachov Oleksandr , Piskachova Iryna
Published: October 2024

The efficiency of organising freight transport and using motor transport in a Smart City depends on a set of its properties, which in the process of operation determine its suitability for use in given operating conditions. Vehicles have different overall dimensions and designs, which determine their maneuverability and directional stability, their ability to make a curve-line movement in the city, as well as to move safely in reverse. Nowadays, tractor-trailer combinations with non-turning semi-trailer wheels are widely used for freight transport. Such a scheme of vehicle construction does not ensure its directional stability when reversing, which can lead to the folding of the tractor and semi-trailer and loss of mobility of the combination. In the absence of additional special systems, the driver controls the rearward movement of the road train using the steering wheel and rear-view mirrors, and the accuracy of delivery to the object depends on the level of the driver's training. The research of driver's reaction time spent on situation assessment, decision making, and realisation has been carried out. It has been revealed that with manual control, there are difficulties connected with training of drivers to estimate the parameters of movement and control of the road train, in particular, with the process of parking and its accurate delivery to the object. With the help of the developed mathematical model of the rearward movement of the road train and the proposed new turn control law, the research of maneuvering of the road train during its delivery to the object has been carried out and the results confirming the possibilities of building an automated system allowing to reduce the influence of the human factor on the parking process, as well as to reduce the time required to perform the maneuver have been obtained. The conducted analysis of system stability with the help of Routh–Hurwitz criterion has determined the conditions of providing stability of the system moving in reverse. The method of controlling the backward movement of the road train and the design of the device realising it has been developed. The results of simulation modeling allowed us to find the necessary values for the control law for the movement of road trains of different lengths, as well as the preferred variants of the initial positions of the road train for the realisation of its precise delivery to the object.

Social scientists’ procedural knowledge, metacognition, and the correspondence of these to the requirements of job advertisements
The study examines the alignment between university students’ reported skills, particularly focusing on procedural knowledge and metacognition, and the skill requirements outlined in job advertisements within the field of social sciences. Data were gathered from career portfolios of 261 social science students, compiled during the 2020-21 academic year, and 179 job advertisements sourced from the Finnish TE Office webpages, collected between 2021 and 2022. The research draws upon a qualitative content analysis of these documents. The results reveal that procedural knowledge and metacognition constitute a category rarely mentioned in the job advertisements. Employers prefer a different type of procedural knowledge from what is discerned in the portfolios. Metacognition skills are highly valued in both the advertisements and portfolios, but collective regulative knowledge is more pronounced in the portfolios.

Altruism as a framework for public leadership
This article examines altruism as a framework for public leadership. It also aims to analyse the meanings that public leaders attach to altruism in the context of meaningful public leadership. The empirical data consists of interviews with eighteen public leaders. The data has been analysed using antagonistic discourse analysis. Based on the research, it seems that altruism can be considered as a dominant way of thinking and approach in public leadership. Leaders described altruism and its meanings through 57 discourses. The discursive field lacked discourses that described altruism as part of good governance or ethics in public service. Contrasting discourses were the potential for altruism in the private and public sectors and the different motivational bases for altruism.
Remembering change: Interdependence between change awareness and meaningful connection in achieving proactive facilitation
Authors: Hertel Paula T. , Wahlheim Christopher N. , Kramer Grant M. , Padgett Faith L.
Published: October 2024

Two experiments investigated proactive facilitation (PF) or proactive interference (PI) in the recall of recently learned targets, under conditions of assessing the detection and recollection of target changes across two learning phases (with A-B/A-D word pairs). Some changes established meaningful connections across the phases; others did not. Task instructions on the subsequent cued-recall test (Experiment 1) or during Phase 2 study (Experiment 2) guided participants (university students) to monitor and report the changes. Accuracy in cued recall conditionalized on measures of change awareness replicated previous findings in establishing conditions for PF and PI. However, PF was much reduced for unconnected materials. Moreover, when change recollection failed, PI occurred even under conditions of meaningful connections (Experiment 1). Discussion emphasizes this interdependence of meaningfulness of connections and change awareness in influencing whether and how memory for earlier events affects memory for more recent ones.

Authors: Amin Luqman , Fajri Annisa
Published: October 2024

Unemployment, poverty and social inequality are big challenges for Indonesia in entering the free market and global competition.Today, individuals with a college degree experience stiff competition and difficulty in finding employment. Limited employment opportunities which have resulted in high unemployment rates have increased awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship. However, students' interest in entrepreneurship is still relatively low, causing them to hesitate to start a business because they are risk averse. Entrepreneurial intention, as the main predictor of entrepreneurial behavior, is important in understanding the entrepreneurial process. Factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions, especially entrepreneurial self-efficacy, have been widely researched.Apart from that, the role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in forming entrepreneurial intentions has also received attention.This research investigates the influence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, entrepreneurial education, and individual factors such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions among business students. The findings show that the entrepreneurial ecosystem has a positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions, in line with previous research in the Western context. In addition, entrepreneurial education and individual factors such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy mediate this relationship. Practical implications include the need for universities to support students in developing an entrepreneurial mindset and improve entrepreneurship education to foster creativity. Limitations, such as the focus on business students and the cross-sectional design, offer avenues for future research to explore broader populations and use longitudinal designs.

Published: October 2024

The tomato represents an extensively cultivated crop within tropical and subtropical regions of the world for their fresh market and processing attribute. However, its production frequently encounters substantial setbacks due to notable losses associated with diseases such as Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TyLCV). To address this challenge, the current study aimed to assess the resistance or susceptibility of selected 25 tomato breeding lines for TyLCV under natural field screenings to mimic real-world scenarios in accordance with the disease reaction score of Banerjee and Kalloo (1987). The field screening results showed that, the check Arka Vishes line demonstrated high resistance (HR) to TLCV, with reduced PDS, PDI values and a low coefficient of infection (CI). Several lines, including CBE SL 101, CBE SL 105, CBE SL 108, CBE SL 110, and CBE SL 114, exhibited a resistant (R) reaction, while others, such as CBE SL 102, CBE SL 107, CBE SL 112, CBE SL 120, and Arka Rakshak, displayed moderate resistance (MR). Conversely, lines CBE SL 103, CBE SL 104, CBE SL 106, CBE SL 109, CBE SL 111, CBE SL 115, CBE SL 117, and CBE SL 123 showed moderate susceptibility (MS), and the remaining lines, namely CBE SL 113, CBE SL 116, CBE SL 118, CBE SL 119, CBE SL 121, and CBE SL 122, were deemed susceptible to TLCV. The varying disease responses observed across these lines provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of host-pathogen interactions in tomato plants, informing strategies for disease management and breeding efforts aimed at enhancing resistance to TLCV.

Pada dasarnya produk media memiliki makna melalui tanda-tanda dalam pesannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskripstif, dengan metode analisis semiotika model John Fiske, kritik feminisme difokuskan pada potret perempuan dalam konteks yang dibangun oleh pembuat web series, dimana karakter perempuan diwakili sebagai subyek yang berdaya atau hanya sebagai objek yang terjebak dalam stereotip patriarki. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa serial "Gadis Kretek" menjadi medium yang kompleks untuk memahami dinamika perempuan dalam masyarakat, sekaligus memberikan ruang bagi kritik feminis terhadap norma-norma gender yang dikonstruksikan oleh sutradara.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pemanfaatan potensi pariwisata serta implementasi pendekatan Community Based Tourism (CBT) dalam pengelolaan pariwisata di Desa Botutonuo Kecamatan Kabila Bone Kabupaten Bone Bolango. CBT merupakan pendekatan pengelolaan pariwisata yang menjadikan masyarakat sebagai pelaku utama, sehingga hasil atau manfaat dari kegiatan pariwisata dapat digunakan untuk menciptakan kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitar. Wujud dari CBT adalah dikembangkannya desa wisata yang memanfaatkan potensi sumber daya alam, budaya, serta potensi sumber daya manusia. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan CBT sudah diterapkan untuk mengedukasi masyarakat terkait pengelolaan pariwisata berbasis masyarakat diantaranya dengan membuat produk olahan yang memiliki nilai ekonomi, pelestarian lingkungan bawah laut, serta pelestarian budaya Gorontalo yang melibatkan masyarakat sekitar. Namun, dalam manajemen pengelolaan potensi pariwisata masih terjadi konflik yang terjadi antara masyarakat lokal dengan investor maupun pemerintah desa yang menghambat kemajuan dan keberlanjutan pariwisata yang ada di Desa Botutonuo. Pengembangan pariwisata menggunakan model CBT sebenarnya telah dilakukan oleh masyarakat dan pemerintah desa meskipun dengan hasil yang belum maksimal dan masih membutuhkan pendampingan agar tujuan jangka panjang CBT yakni untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan bagi masyarakat lokal dapat tercapai.

This review paper examines the critical influence of prenatal vitamin use and community health programs on reducing teratogenic medication exposure and improving perinatal nutrition among African American adolescents with limited access to healthcare. African American adolescents face disproportionate barriers to healthcare access, including socioeconomic challenges and systemic healthcare inequities, which contribute to heightened risks of teratogenic exposure and poor prenatal nutrition. The paper explores the role of prenatal vitamins such as folic acid, iron, and calcium in preventing congenital disabilities and enhancing maternal health. It also highlights the impact of community-based health programs and education initiatives that aim to bridge healthcare gaps for vulnerable populations. By focusing on adolescent pregnancy in African American communities, this review identifies key challenges such as limited healthcare access, inadequate educational resources, and socio-economic constraints. Furthermore, the paper assesses the effectiveness of current health interventions and policies, offering recommendations for improving healthcare access and expanding community programs. The review underscores the necessity for long-term research to address gaps in the intersection of race, adolescent health, and prenatal care, ultimately aiming to inform policy and program development that promotes equitable maternal and fetal health outcomes.

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to study the female reproductive system using contrast medium which is injected into the uterus and x-ray images are taken as the dye fills the uterus and fallopian tubes. Proper sterilization and disinfection protocols are essential to minimize the risk of introducing pathogens into the reproductive tract during the procedure. The purpose of this study was to investigate disinfection and sterilization practices of HSG equipment before HSG procedure in some hospitals in Cameroon. At the end of the study, collected data was compiled and analysed, the results showed 0% of proper sterilization was done for the equipment used, all the equipment were poorly disinfected with poorly made chemicals (sodium hypochlorite) solution (100%). Most of the equipment used were either about 80% stained or rusted. Based on the finding of this study, it was concluded that the practice of sterilization and disinfection of HSG equipment in Cameroon is poor, and there is need for improvements of the practice.

Studies have indicated that lack of discipline among learners in schools is one of the foremost problems facing schools both nationally and internationally. This paper thus investigated the causal factors of learner ill-discipline at the school level with the intention to come up with practical measures that can be applied by the schools to curb learner indiscipline. The qualitative method with a case study approach was used to conduct an in-depth investigation into the phenomenon of learner indiscipline. Three high schools in the Bela-Bela township were sampled as participants for the study. Data was collected through one-on-one semi-structured interviews and document analyses on learner code of conduct and school disciplinary policy. Three (3) school principals, six (6) teachers and six (6) learners were interviewed. The findings revealed that schools are characterised by rampant levels of learner ill-discipline with a negative impact on teaching and learning. The study argued that two primary factors fuelling learner ill-discipline in schools are the inappropriate implementation of the learner code of conduct and the school disciplinary policy. It concluded that there is an urgent need for proper implementation of the learner code of conduct and the disciplinary policy in the schools. This study strongly recommends that education authorities put measures in place to ensure that schools comply with the proper implementation of the code of conduct and school disciplinary policy. The findings of this study contribute to a discourse in the body of knowledge in learner discipline.

Published: October 2024

When the two German states united in 1990, a new political and economic space emerged. In Germany, this space is referred to as a socio-economic Standort. Over the past three and a half decades, the government has been working to ensure the security of this region through various, often uncoordinated strategies. Until recently, there was no unified comprehensive approach to this important issue in Germany. However, the current coalition government has taken up this challenge and has developed an Integrated Security Strategy by mid-2023. The author analyzes the content of this document, its relationship with other strategic plans, including the context of the noonomics theory, and also evaluates the prospects for implementing this document.

Published: October 2024

Russia's current sanctions restrictions make it necessary to increase the importance of the stock market as an element of the domestic economy, which should play a significant role in generating the necessary amount of financial resources. Under the new conditions, the stock market has again begun to attract more attention from Russian companies as a source of capital. Recently, attention has been paid to the problems of development of this market segment at the highest state level. Nevertheless, for the current period, the Russian stock market is characterized by a number of features, the preservation of which may reduce its effectiveness for the economy, as well as restrain the inflow of investments. The article substantiates that when increasing the role of the stock market, it is also important to take into account the quality of such expansion and the mechanisms used, which in turn requires close attention from regulators.
