Authors: Заіка Юлія
Published: October 2022

У статті подано тлумачення поняття «фандрайзинг» (фендрайзінг, фандрейзінг, fundraising) – процес залучення зовнішніх, сторонніх для компанії ресурсів, необхідних для реалізації будь-якої задачі, виконання проекту або з метою діяльності в цілому. Фандрайзинг, в широкому сенсі, являє собою методику пошуку джерел фінансування та ресурсів (матеріальні або не матеріальні ресурси, такі, наприклад, як людські, інформаційні, фінансові, юридичні, маркетингові і інші розглянуто процес залучення зовнішніх ресурсів у форматі фандрайзингу) для забезпечення діяльності підприємства, необхідних для реалізації комерційного проєкту для соціально-відповідальних підприємств. Визначено зв’язки між ефективністю маркетингової політики і стратегїї для просування проєкту соціально-відповідального підприємства на ринку та її фандрайзинговим збором коштів і інших матеріальних цінностей, який впливає на кількість допомоги, наданої конкретному підприємству. Проаналізовано процес створення стратегії просування для бізнес-проєктів, який включає конкретні і поступові етапи. Визначено, що до запуску маркетингової складової проєкту необхідно створити систему оцінки ефективності маркетингу для існуючих та потенційних інвесторів, яка являється найзатратнішою частиноі, проте найефективніщою для залучення додаткових ресурсів. Дане дослідження свідчить про те, що для досягнення позитивного результату фандрайзингової діяльності проєкту на соціально-відповідальному підприємстві необхідно провести потужну маркетингову кампанію, а також загалом ретельно сплановану, організаційно впорядковану, поетапну роботу, у процесі якої важливо обґрунтувати актуальність, унікальність і цінність реалізації саме запропонованої пропозиції, отримавши натомість задоволення потреб інвесторів (меценатів, донорів, спонсорів, інші) і налагодити плідну співпрацю з ними на майбутнє. На основі останніх досліджень та публікацій визначено проблематику щодо більшості соціально-відповідальних підприємств країни, які не використовують інструмент маркетингової політики, стратегії для просування власних проєктів, а отже не реалізують фандрайзинговий потенціал в повному обсязі.

Bird infestation is one of the major limiting factors affecting the production of indigenous rice in Nigeria. Conventional audio-based systems used in repelling birds deteriorate in effectiveness, cause noise pollution and consume excess power. This research therefore, developed an energyefficient audio-based repellent system for rice fields incorporated with a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for bird detection. A CNN algorithm was developed using inception V3, built on transfer learning technique in google colab. The CNN model was trained with bird dataset of 275 bird species obtained from Kaggle database. The core of the system was the Raspberry pi 4, a low-powered microcomputer adopted to run the CNN model with information from a camera. The mechanical framework for the system was designed to support its sustainability in rice fields. The estimated coverage area was 42m2. The system used maximum power of 4.10W. The system supported multiple production of various sounds to prevent bird adaptability to fixed sounds, which could sustain its effectiveness. The incorporated camera aided in the detection of birds with consequent reduction in noise pollution inherent in conventional audio devices. The developed system used 53.52% of the average power reported for conventional audio systems. The developed audio-based repellent system is better in terms of bird detection, power consumption and less noise pollution. Further development on this system can be carried out with other detection algorithms which may require less power for processing. Keywords— Bird repellent system, convolutional neural network, audio repellent, rice field, energy-efficient

Predictive maintenance currently involves digital transformation with all the technologies developed to serve the latter. This maintenance strategy is believed to be an efficient solution to end late/early intervention issues. It is for this reason that machine health state monitoring by Remaining Useful Life prognosis is very crucial. However, in the literature, most studies focus on failure diagnosis more than the system's Remaining Useful Life. In addition, to prepare models to serve the prognosis, the use of actual machinery data is critical to assure the later scalability of the application. The literature about predictive maintenance has often evaluated data-driven approaches with machine learning techniques processing simulated Data rather than real ones. To tackle this problem, the authors propose a continuity of previous work treating a jaw crusher default diagnosis in the context of the ore mining industry. The RUL of the crusher components is estimated upon completion of the fault diagnosis data. Smart sensors Data have been preprocessed to serve the evaluation of four regression machine learning models: Bayesian Linear Regression, Poisson Regression, Neural Network Regression, and Random Forest. Poisson regression and Neural Network required data normalization in this case study to improve their performance. Linear regression methods proved their inability to forecast the machine degradation state, while the bagging ensemble method, Random Forest, was able to track the actual values. This paper aims to enhance the Prognosis and Health Management of the machine while contributing to the literature enhancement on failure prognosis using real industrial data.

Medical information systems (MIS) are the object of the research presented. They allow information processing throughout the patient's interaction with medical services - from contacting such institutions to monitoring the patient after rehabilitation. However, for various reasons, during the information process exchange within the framework of MIS, distortions of collected or transmitted data are possible, which leads to wrong medical decisions. Currently, new approaches are being implemented using Software-Defined Networks, but our work proposes an alternative solution designed to work conservatively with existing equipment using established protocols. To solve the stated problem, this study has developed a universal hardware-software module (UHSM) model, which ensures the effective transmission of sophisticated medical information through networks. A distinctive feature of such UHSM is the connection of different medical equipment in various related to MIS information networks, as well as automatic configuration under all current standards. The study demonstrates that for the most effective UHSM functioning, it is essential to consider the existing features arising during the interaction process of devices in the context of modern networks created for information exchange, based on the established communication model of open-system interconnection (OSI). Keywords—classification methods, information coding methods, information networks, knowledge base, medical information system, multilevel approach, structure synthesis of large systems, telemedicine technologies
Feminismos del Sur: nudos epistemológicos para ensayar una investigación otra
Authors: Alvarado Mariana , Hermida Maria Eugenia
Published: October 2022

El texto aborda un conjunto de problemas relativos al qué, al cómo, entre quiénes y hacia dónde de la investigación en ciencias sociales y humanas, visitados desde el registro de los feminismos del Sur. ¿Cuáles son los sesgos androcéntricos, cis-heterocentrados, coloniales y raciales en las prácticas relativas a la producción de conocimiento académico? ¿De qué manera los feminismos situados desordenan, desobedecen y subvierten las lógicas instituidas en investigación científica en ciencias sociales y humanas? El objetivo de este escrito es visibilizar los aportes de los feminismos del Sur para explorar otras formas de construcción de conocimiento. La metodología utiliza elementos del enfoque (auto)biográfico y de la narrativa ficcionada; se apoya en el registro y la sistematización de experiencias personales, colectivas e institucionales de investigación feminista y de docencia en propuestas de grado y posgrado. Estos materiales se cruzan con técnicas de análisis documental que implicaron la (de)construcción de un corpus de textos y de las operaciones analíticas devenidas del giro afectivo que proponen registrar las afectaciones que esos textos habilitan. Los resultados obtenidos configuran una tríada de anudamientos conceptuales corporizados: el primero explora el cruce mudar/camuflar/travestir; el segundo propone el binomio escuchar/hacer audible; y el tercero invita a articular/corporizar/territorializar. A horcajadas de una torsión, habitando la desobediencia epistémica, interpelamos el sesgo “concluyente” que le exige a la producción académica el producto de la investigación. Apostamos a la descolonización y despatriarcalización para desestabilizar el sentido norteurocentrado, moderno, colonial, patriarcal machista que se sostiene en la pretendida objetividad, neutralidad y universalidad.

Published: October 2022

Objectives: The objective of this survey was to highlight whether influenza vaccination was advised or not in patients with heart failure. Whether heart failure patients are aware of its significance or not, and more importantly they are getting vaccinated or not.
Methodology: This descriptive short survey was conducted at heart failure clinic of a tertiary care cardiac center. Consecutive patients of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were interviewed regarding awareness and significance of influenza vaccination. Survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire with specific sections pertinent to the demographic details of the participants, clinical history of heart failure and hospitalizations, co-morbid conditions, and awareness and adherence to the influenza vaccination.
Results: A total of 60 patients with HFrEF participated in this survey, 71.7% (43) of which were male, overall mean age was 56.82 ± 11.78 years, and mean duration since diagnosis of HFrEF was 3.88 ± 3.66 years. Only 15% (9) of the participants were aware of influenza vaccination, 18.3% (11) recall being advised by the medical officer, and 11.7% (7) received these vaccinations.
Conclusion: Influenza vaccination rate in patients with heart failure in Pakistan population is very low. The primary reason is inadequate prescription practice by physicians and lack of adequate awareness. Need of time is to emphasis health care provider to prescribe and encourage their patients with heart failure to receive influenza vaccine and to make it accessible.

Covid-19, declared a global pandemic by WHO, has infected 10,242,298 cases in Indonesia. Especially in Southeast Sulawesi, there were 521 cases, with the most in Kendari city. Public health centers are generally the first goal of treatment by the community, so they must be able to manage and utilize their resources effectively and efficiently in breaking the chain of Covid-19 transmission. COVID-19 impacts changes in health services carried out at the Puskesmas, so it is crucial to evaluate the quality of drug management at the puskesmas during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to evaluate the quality of drug management in all outpatient health centers in Kendari City during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was descriptive and non-experimental with retrospective data collection in all outpatient health centers in Kendari City using the Satibi indicator as a subject with research objects including drug stock cards, LPLPO, RKO, and several other documents. Based on the results, all puskesmas remained active in proposing drugs to FORNAS during the pandemic. However, the percentage value of the suitability of drug items available with FORNAS did not yet meet the standards. The accuracy of planning, the suitability of the number of requests, and the suitability of the number of receipts are not up to standard. Storage according to dosage form, temperature, LASA, and FEFO were following standards, the accuracy of distribution, empty stock items, insufficient stock, safe stock, and the excess stock did not meet standards, and there were still expired or damaged drugs. The suitability of the physical amount of the drug meets the standard, but there are outpatient health centers that do not evaluate drug management periodically during 2020.

Introduction: India has the second-largest population of diabetes globally. The long-term complications due to poor glycemic control are concerning. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) is a fundamental component in managing diabetes better. Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of group-based DSME in achieving glycemic control and improving self-care practices among people with type-2 diabetes as against the usual care. Methods: A non-blinded parallel-arm RCT among adults (? 30 years) diagnosed with Type-2 DM. Written informed consent was taken from each patient before enrollment. The sample size is estimated to be 85 in each arm according to the formula for equivalence design for an RCT. Randomization was done using a computer-generated random number table. The control arm received usual care, while the intervention group received group-based DSME in addition to usual care. At the end of 6 months, the change in glycemic control and self-care activity scores were compared between the two arms. Results: A total of 139 individuals (intervention =69; control =70) were analyzed. The proportion of females (62.1%) was higher than males (37.9%). There was no statistically significant difference at baseline. At end line, HbA1c showed a reduction from 9.3% to 6.9% in the intervention arm (P<0.001), which was greater than that in the control arm (p=0.017). All the self-care components showed a statistically significant improvement, except the medication score. Conclusions: Group-based DSME effectively increases self-care practices among people with diabetes, resulting in better glycemic control.

Introduction-

India has the highest rate of child anemia among developing countries. To gain the most up-to-date picture of child anemia in India. We used the data of 6 to 59 months old children from the fifth cycle of the National Family Health Survey conducted in 2019–21. The study's goals were to shape the pervasiveness of anaemia in children in state of India, age group and zone, as well as the relationship between socioeconomic factors and anaemia.

Methodology-The presented study is a secondary data analysis based on the data from the NFHS-5 and secondary literature.

Results- The study found that in India in 2019– 21, 67.1% of children of specified age 6-59 months were anaemic, an increase of 8.5% points since the NFHS-4 study conducted in 2015–16 i.e., 67.1% and as compared with NFHS-4 (58.6%), despite of the significant increase in the consumption of iron-folic acid (IFA) tablets under INIPI. The data show that the number was higher in rural India (68.3 percent) compared to urban India (64.2 percent). Unfortunately, recent Economic development and the national anaemia control programme have not resulted in a significant reduction in anaemia prevalence in India.

Conclusion- According to the study, the percentage of children in India was anemia increased by 8.5% in NFHS-5 as compared with previous NFHS-4 survey which found to be at 58.6%.

Abstract. Internet network is an important requirement in the digital era. Indonesia is listed as the country with the highest data traffic growth in the world in 2016. To meet the needs of this data traffic, network access is needed. Indonesia has a geography that mostly covers the ocean. The islands lined up from Sabang to Merauke up to tens of thousands. This large number of islands is a problem in building communication infrastructure. Bawean Island is one of the islands in Indonesia with an area of 197 km2 with a population of more than 100,000 people in 2021. The pre-existing communication access is communication with VSAT using Satellite and Radio Wave Communication. Both types of communication have limitations in bandwidth capacity. In this research, it is proposed to design a Marine Cable Communication System (SKKL) for data access on Bawean Island. Data traffic is sent via optical fibre from the city of Surabaya to the island of Bawean which is 235 km away. In this design, we use a single-mode G.655 cable type and 5 optical amplifiers of the EDFA type. The results of the design show that the power link budget is -9.525 dBm, SNR 25.35 dB, Q-factor 9.26, and BER 1.009×10^-20.

 

Abstrak. Jaringan internet merupakan suatu kebutuhan penting di era digital. Indonesia tercatat sebagai negara dengan pertumbuhan trafik data tertinggi di dunia pada 2016. Untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan trafik data ini dibutuhkan akses jaringan. Indonesia memiliki geografis yang sebagian besar meliputi lautan. Pulau-pulau berjajar dari Sabang sampai Merauke jumlahnya hingga puluhan ribu. Jumlah pulau yang banyak inilah yang menjadi permasalahan dalam membangun infrastruktur komunikasi. Pulau Bawean adalah salah satu pulau di Indonesia dengan luas 197 km2 dengan penduduk lebih dari 100.000 jiwa pada tahun 2021. Akses komunikasi yang sudah ada sebelumnya adalah komunikasi dengan VSAT yang memanfaatkan Satelit dan Komunikasi Gelombang Radio. Kedua jenis komunikasi ini memiliki keterbatasan dalam kapasitas bandwidth. Dalam penelitian ini diusulkan perancangan Sistem Komunikasi Kabel Laut (SKKL) untuk akses data pulau Bawean. Trafik data dikirimkan melalui serat optik dari kota Surabaya menuju pulau Bawean yang berjarak 235 km. Dalam perancangan ini menggunakan tipe kabel singlemode G.655 dan 5 buah optikal amplifier jenis EDFA. Hasil perancangan menunjukan besarnya power link budget -9.525 dBm, SNR 25.35 dB, Q-factor 9.26, dan BER 1,009×10^-20.
Untangling India’s Non-Traditional Security Challenge of Climate Change: Is Soft Power Diplomacy a Panacea for Anthropocentric Abuses?
Authors: Guha Abhigyan
Published: October 2022

India’s pursuit towards a sustainable future has been accompanied by the centrality of climate diplomacy while leveraging its soft power apparatus in spearheading global trust-building, capacity-building and managing global common resources. Irrespective of the post-COVID ramifications, India has remained the only G20 nation on track to meet its climate change mitigation commitments, as India continues to maintain an ambitious target of 450 gigawatts by 2030 for itself on renewable energy, adhering to cutting down carbon emissions by 33% by 2030, keeping its promise on global warming mitigation to below 2 degrees. Predicating its approach towards multilateral action on respect, peace, prosperity, dialogue and cooperation, India has marshalled multilateral action on climate change in the international arena, from being the founder of the International Solar Alliance, leading the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, to constituting an integral component of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue’s Climate Working Group, aiming at strengthening climate actions on mitigation, adaptation, resilience, technology-building capacity and climate finance. The paper problematizes climate change in international politics, focusing on India’s soft power dimension while assessing the vulnerabilities associated with climate change, emphasizing exclusively on the evolution and the emerging multifaceted dynamics of India’s climate diplomacy.

Bidang keusahawanan mewujudkan lebih banyak peluang pekerjaan bagi mereka yang bergelut dalam pencarian pekerjaan dan membantu menjana pendapatan tambahan kepada mereka yang mengalami gaji minimum yang rendah di Malaysia. Kajian ini mengenal pasti kesan sumber pembiayaan, model teladan dan pendidikan keusahawanan terhadap hasrat keusahawanan di kalangan pelajar Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Kampus Kota Bharu. Kajian ini juga mengenal pasti perbezaan purata yang signifikan dalam hasrat keusahawanan di kalangan pelajar berlainan jantina dan status penglibatan keluarga dalam perniagaan. Soal selidik diedarkan kepada 293 responden bagi tujuan pengumpulan data. Keputusan analisa regresi linear menunjukkan hanya terdapat dua pemboleh ubah mempengaruhi niat keusahawanan secara signifikan di kalangan pelajar iaitu model teladan dan pendidikan keusahawanan. Hasil kajian juga mendapati tidak terdapat perbezaan purata yang signifikan dalam hasrat keusahawanan di kalangan pelajar jantina berbeza tetapi terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan di kalangan penglibatan keluarga dalam perniagaan. Kajian ini diharap dapat memberikan gambaran kepada pihak pengurusan dan pembuat dasar untuk meningkatkan hasrat kusahawanan dikalangan pelajar bagi menangani masalah kebolehpasaran graduan.

Penempatan semula penduduk Orang Asli di Kampung Pertak telah berlaku sejak tahun 2001 oleh Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA) untuk memberi laluan kepada projek pembinaan empangan di Hulu Selangor. Kertas kajian ini bertujuan untuk membahaskan perubahan sosioekonomi Orang Asli di Kampung Pertak dan Kampung Gerachi Jaya selepas sepuluh tahun penempatan semula. Kajian soal selidik melibatkan seramai 60 responden dengan pecahan 32 responden dari Kampung Pertak dan 28 responden dari Kampung Gerachi Jaya. Di samping itu, kaedah pemerhatian dan temu bual tidak berstruktur juga dijalankan untuk mendapat maklumat berkenaan dengan kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati kedua-dua kampung ini telah dilengkapi dengan prasarana seperti tadika dan klinik. Sebahagian penduduk Kampung Gerachi Jaya mempunyai masalah dari segi sosial dan ekonomi kerana lokasi kawasan penempatan baru berada di atas bukit, oleh itu kebanyakan pekerjaan yang boleh dijalankan oleh penduduk Kampung Pertak tidak dapat dilakukan oleh mereka. Jarak antara kampung ini dengan pekan juga berjauhan, justeru interaksi antara penduduk dengan masyarakat lain berkurang, maka mereka berasa terpencil. Pihak berkuasa perlu menjalankan pemantauan teliti tentang keperluan Orang Asli selepas penempatan semula di samping memberikan pendidikan yang sewajarnya kepada mereka.
