Published: January 2025

Electricity infrastructure development in Indonesia often faces disputes that can potentially hinder project completion. One of the prominent issues in construction disputes is the amendment to the EIA, which is legally regulated by Law Number 32 of 2009 and Government Regulation Number 22 of 2021. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study on Project X, an electricity transmission line construction project. Data were collected through literature review, document analysis, and participatory observation of the negotiation process. The results show that the Contractor’s financial constraints were the root of the dispute in Project X, which had implications for the delayed completion of the amendment to the EIA. Negotiation, as an ADR mechanism, played a crucial role in resolving this dispute. The success of the negotiation was supported by interactional dynamics characterized by effective communication, adaptive leadership, and comprehensive data support. This case study affirms the repositioning of negotiation as an effective dispute resolution mechanism in the construction context, especially involving environmental aspects. This research also emphasizes the importance of compliance with EIA regulations, especially Law Number 32 of 2009 and Government Regulation Number 22 of 2021, and highlights the need for effective communication strategies in the negotiation process to reach a sustainable agreement.

Authors: Gawehns Daniela , Portegijs Suzanne , van Beek Adriana Petronella Anna , van Leeuwen Matthijs
Published: January 2025

Aim: Physical activity of nursing home residents can be assessed with tools such as questionnaires and standardized fitness tests. For residents with dementia, however, those tools can be cognitively challenging and difficult to administer. Consumer wearables could potentially aid as an affordable tool for ubiquitous assessment.
Methods: In this pilot study with 16 participants, we explored how measurements with an off-the-shelf wearable relate to structured observations of physical activity. We collected both processed and raw tri-axial accelerometer data from Samsung wrist-worn fitness trackers. To anchor those data in the free-living environment, we compared the measurements with the physical activity scale of the Medlo behavioral observation scheme.
Results: We showed that consumer wearables are a valid tool for long-term data collection in this vulnerable patient population.
Conclusions: Regarding the movement intensity, the data collected by fitness trackers is overall in accordance with the data collected with the observational tool. Regarding the type of movement, we concluded that the automatic activity classification on the wearables is not yet ready for use with a mostly sedentary patient population.

Published: January 2025

Conducting regional sensitivity analysis of climate change impacts on maize yield in Nigeria is important for understanding vulnerability and complex interactions between climate variables and agricultural productivity vital for developing effective strategies that ensure food security, economic stability and sustainable developments. In this analysis we carried out planting, weather and cultivar sensitivity analysis using Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) latest version 4.8.2 in Savanna and Sahel climate regions of Nigeria and also forecast yield up to 2100. We used statistical analysis to help identify and quantify the extent to which climate variables are related to maize yields, to reveal how changes in climate might affect agricultural productivity. The correlation and multiple regression analysis show that maize yield is impacted negatively by the solar radiation (SRD), average air temperature (Ta) and evapotranspiration (ET) but positively by precipitation (PRCP). A unit increase in SRD, ET and Ta leads to a decrease in maize yield by about 100kg/ha, 2kg/ha and 200kg/ha respectively, while it is increased by about 4kg/ha by a unit increase in precipitation in the region. The P-value <0.05 of the resulting intercept shows that it is of importance in the developed model. Change in mean temperature has greatest significant impact on maize yield because it has the highest regression coefficient (0.2) with low standard error (0.06). These regression coefficients are location-based so can be calibrated for other regions. Heteroscedasticity test using Breusch-Pagan method is conducted to determine the trustworthiness of the developed equation.
Internet of Things (IoT) for Remote Earthquake and Fire Detection Monitoring: Linking Safety
Authors: Vignesh M.
Published: January 2025

Two examples of interconnected systems and gadgets that have evolved as a result of fast technological developments are the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). The public safety and catastrophe management sectors are only two of many that may see revolutionary changes brought forth by this technology. An Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Vehicles (IoV)-based safety system for remote real-time monitoring and seismic detection is proposed in this study. To monitor seismic activity and detect impending fires, the proposed system employs a network of sensors installed in various buildings and vehicles. Among the many data-gathering instruments included in these sensors are vibration sensors, which can detect earthquakes, and smoke detectors, which may detect fires. The acquired data is received by a centralised control unit using wireless transmission. In order to accurately detect earthquakes and fires, the control unit processes the provided data using advanced data analytics and machine learning techniques. The system also makes use of the IoV concept to make the reaction measures more efficient and effective. It utilises the real-time position and trajectory data of cars to aid in rapid emergency response and optimise evacuation routes. There are several advantages to the proposed method over more traditional forms of monitoring and safety systems. Authorities can respond swiftly to earthquakes and fires because to its real-time monitoring capabilities, which in turn reduces the likelihood of human deaths and property damage. Improving the system's responsiveness, the integration of IoV enables intelligent decision-making based on the varying traffic circumstances and available resources.

Published: January 2025

Assessment of the effectiveness of a drug is a complex process. Currently, the standard method for assessing the effectiveness of a medical intervention is the quality-adjusted life years (QALY). In the summer of 2024, a description of a new method for assessing the effectiveness of medical interventions — Standard of Living Valuation (SoLV) was published. The proposed method is more difficult than QALY, but its capabilities are broader. However, this method is also not optimal. The problem of creating an optimal method for assessing the cost-effectiveness of health technologies remains open.

Authors: PENIAKOVA Hanna , CHYKALIUK Mykola , KALYNOVYCH Andrii
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Financing from international financial organizations has always been a key element of the Ukrainian economy. In the context of Russia’s full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine, international support has become even more important, becoming critical to the country’s stability and development. Every day Ukraine not only defends itself against the aggressor, but also faces numerous challenges that affect its economic development. The development of enterprises and business is of great importance for the country, as taxes from their activities are the main source of budget revenues, which, in turn, strengthens the state’s defense.
The purpose of the paper is to study and analyze the specifics of Ukraine’s financial system during the wartime period, in particular, to track the measures aimed at overcoming the negative consequences of the war to ensure its stable and reliable operation.
Results. The main results of the study are: a study of international financial instruments in support of Ukraine's economic integration, identification of the main goals of international financial assistance during the war, analysis of the types of international support, and identification of the largest countries providing military, humanitarian, and financial assistance. The paper provides a comparative analysis of the volume and structure of international assistance, as well as the ratio of the level of assistance to the gross domestic product (GDP) of partner countries that provide financial assistance to Ukraine. The author analyzes the key decisions and tools that helped the Ukrainian financial system withstand the challenges of the war. Among them are active attraction of international financial assistance, as well as effective management of budget expenditures and public debt. These measures became the basis for maintaining economic stability and meeting the country’s needs during the war.
Conclusion. The findings emphasize the need to increase state budget financing in an unstable environment.

Published: January 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise patient care and enhance results in the treatment of diabetes, particularly in Malaysia, where the disease is a significant public health concern. However, patient perceptions greatly influence the uptake and efficacy of AI in healthcare. The knowledge gap about these attitudes is addressed in this research. The main objective of this study is to find out how diabetic patients feel about the employment of AI tools and their applications in diabetes management. Additionally, this study looked at how diabetic patients understood and accepted AI. In-depth interviews with seventeen diabetes patients from Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Klang (HTAR), Malaysia, were conducted as part of this qualitative study. The interview took place between August 8, 2023, and August 22, 2023, for two weeks. Every interview was audio recorded and verbatim transcribed. ATLAS.ti version 8 was then used to code and organise the transcribed material. Thematic analysis was carried out in compliance with accepted data analysis guidelines. Interviews with participants revealed three main themes about the patients' opinions about using AI in diabetes treatment. These topics included perceived need, acceptance, and advantages of using AI tools. Most interviewees said they had a favourable opinion of using AI tools. The results of this study provide the foundation for a theoretical framework that aims to comprehend patients' opinions regarding AI applications in diabetes care, focusing on the social, technological, and health experiences that shape these opinions.
Developing A Smart Integrated Model By Leveraging Analytical Approaches Combining Qualitative Case Studies With Quantitative Data In Accessing The Role Of Private Equity In The Transformation Of Emerging Markets
Authors: Sheoran Dev
Published: January 2025

Private equity (PE) has become a leading force in economic development in emerging markets, bringing much-needed capital, expertise, and governance improvements to businesses. This research paper delves into the multifaceted role of private equity in promoting economic growth in emerging markets from 2001 to 2022. Through channelling financial resources into sectors with high growth potential, PE firms enhance entrepreneurship, drive innovation, and create employment opportunities. In addition, PE investors bring about operational efficiencies, enhance corporate governance, and bring in global best practices to the firms they back. However, regulatory hurdles, political instability, market inefficiencies, and socio-economic impacts bring significant risks. This paper uses an analytical approach combining qualitative case studies with quantitative data to assess how private equity has transformed emerging markets. Therefore, the critical role of PE in bridging capital gaps, accommodating financial constraints, and catalyzing industrial growth to contribute toward more extensive economic development underlies these findings. Hence, various tables and other kinds of statistical analyses support these observations. Finally, the paper provides policy recommendations to ensure optimized private equity investment and sustainable regional economic development.

El presente artículo, derivado de la tesis doctoral titulada "Estrategia de Enseñanza Personalizada para el Fortalecimiento de la Comprensión Lectora en un Contexto de Inclusión Educativa: Estudio en Estudiantes de Secundaria del Colegio Gimnasio Los Cerezos", aborda el desafío que representa la diversidad de capacidades y ritmos de aprendizaje en el Colegio Gimnasio Los Cerezos. Estas diferencias impactan la comprensión lectora, una habilidad esencial en la que muchos estudiantes presentan dificultades que afectan su desempeño académico. El objetivo principal del estudio es mejorar la comprensión lectora en estudiantes de sexto y séptimo grado a través de un acompañamiento personalizado. Para ello, se emplea la prueba PROLEC-SE, que evalúa el nivel inicial y final de comprensión lectora, permitiendo diseñar e implementar intervenciones personalizadas tanto dentro como fuera del aula para aquellos estudiantes con mayores necesidades. Además de mejorar los niveles de comprensión lectora, este trabajo busca proponer un modelo pedagógico inclusivo que pueda ser replicado en otras instituciones educativas. Se espera demostrar que la educación personalizada no solo contribuye a abordar la diversidad escolar, sino que también promueve el desarrollo académico y social de los estudiantes, preparándolos para enfrentar con éxito los desafíos del futuro.

Published: January 2025

El uso de teléfonos móviles en las escuelas es un tema de debate entre educadores, padres y legisladores. El objetivo de este artículo es relacionar el uso del teléfono celular con el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de las Unidades Educativas “Juan Montalvo” y “23 de junio” del cantón Babahoyo en Ecuador; además de brindar algunas estrategias para evitar que este dispositivo sea una distracción. Se realizó una investigación explicativa, con una muestra de 611 adolescentes y jóvenes con similares particularidades de edad, grado académico y número de horas de escolarización. Primero se realizó un análisis documental y luego se aplicaron 4 encuestas durante el periodo académico 2023; los datos fueron analizados mediante el programa estadístico SPSS (versión 14.0), estadística descriptiva y análisis de varianza para un factor (ANOVA). Los resultados muestran que el 95,0% de los estudiantes utiliza el teléfono móvil desde hace más de 3 años y que el 25,0% admite que este dispositivo los aleja de su importancia en el proceso educativo. Por otro lado, los estudiantes que más utilizan el celular durante las clases tienen el promedio más bajo; Además, el 100% de los padres coincide en que se deben aplicar estrategias dentro del colegio para que el rendimiento académico no se vea afectado por el uso excesivo de este dispositivo. Con esto se concluye que las familias de las dos instituciones educativas asumen las responsabilidades y se confieren los siguientes mecanismos para que los adolescentes hagan un uso adecuado del celular en el proceso educativo: Normatividad clara, zonas libres de celular, horarios libres de tecnología, recompensas por el cumplimiento de la normativa, seguimiento puntual de incidencias.
