Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is a common finding during the admission of non-diabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome. It is very essential to differentiate this stress hyperglycemia from the hyperglycemia in latent diabetics whose diabetes may have been unmasked by the stress of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We conducted this study to evaluate stress hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients with ACS. METHODS We conducted this cross sectional study in the Department of Medicine, KIMS Hospital, Karad, over a period of one year. Non-diabetic patients with HbA1c < 6.5 admitted in our hospital with ACS were included in the study. We included a total of 100 patients in our study, their detailed history, clinical examination and lab evaluation was done. We divided the patients into two groups, Group A were normoglycaemic patients and Group B were acute phase hyperglycemic patients with blood sugars more than 160. Correlation between the blood sugar levels and outcome of the patients was done. RESULTS Mean age was 65.23 ± 21.05 years. No significant difference in risk factor distribution in the two groups was seen. (p > 0.05) We had 47 cases of unstable angina (UA – 47%) followed by 43 cases of STEMI (43 %) and 10 cases of NSTEMI (10 %). We observed a significant difference in the presence of complications in the two groups (p<0.001), Group B patients with hyperglycemia had more complications. Significant difference was seen between the presence of heart failure, arrhythmias and shock in the two groups, with group B having more incidences of these (p<0.05). Significant difference in the outcome of the two groups was seen (p = 0.012). We observed that out of 38 patients in Group B with hyperglycemia, there were 8 deaths (21.05%) as compared to 3 deaths (4.84%) in Group A patients. CONCLUSIONS We observed that the high prevalence (38%) of stress in non-diabetic ACS patients is responsible for significantly more complications, more chances of heart failure, arrhythmia, shock and more deaths.

Authors: Eranaik Kalinga Bommanakatti , Bande Uday Subhash , Veeresh L.M.
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND Since its reporting in December 2019, SARC-COV-2 (COVID -19) has infected more than 230 million people over the world by colonising the respiratory tract, however very little is known about its effect on liver and how the liver injury affects disease prognosis. This study was done to assess the hepatic profile in SARC-COV-2 infection along with inflammatory markers. METHODS This is a single centred prospective observational study. 400 patients with real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed COVID 19 infection admitted in KIMS, Hubballi were taken for study. Patients with decompensated liver disease were excluded from the study. Clinical examination and laboratory investigations including liver function test (LFT), renal function test (RFT), complete blood count (CBC), chest X-ray, D-dimer, ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C reactive protein (CRP) was done for all the patients. RESULTS Out of the 400 covid-19 positive patients admitted, 286 (71.5 %) had abnormal liver enzymes. Significantly raised liver enzymes were seen in males. Raised liver enzymes and inflammatory markers were associated with poor outcome of the disease. Significant reduced albumin was associated with poor outcome of the disease. Significantly raised aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) levels were associated with increased severity of the disease. (P = 0.009 and 0.029 respectively). Significant positive relation was found between liver profile and inflammatory markers. CONCLUSIONS Majority of patients admitted with SARS-CoV-2 had deranged liver profile. Higher proportion of abnormal liver enzymes were seen in males. Degree of liver injury increases with increasing severity of the disease. Even though abnormal liver enzymes were positively associated with elevated inflammatory markers and severity of the disease, more studies are needed to study implications of liver injury in prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

O CAMINHO DO AMAR COMO FUNDAMENTO DO EDUCAR
Authors: Barcelos Valdo Hermes , Azzolin Maria Aparecida
Published: January 2022

Esse texto tem como objetivo refletir sobre os fundamentos da educação a partir do Caminho do Amar, proposições de Humberto Maturana e Ximena Dávila. Buscamos demonstrar os meios para educar as crianças para o amar, na democracia, na generosidade e na ética social. Vivemos numa sociedade onde a cultura patriarcal vigora. A competição e o culto à aparência acontecem desde muito cedo na vida dos seres humanos gerando conflitos e adoecimentos. O Caminho do Amar, busca o viver sem exigências e expectativas, viver o presente, em harmonia conosco e com os outros seres vivos da natureza. Viver no bem-estar. Trazemos essa proposta para o ambiente educacional, por acreditarmos que a educação é a transformação na convivência. Assim o ato de educar deve ter como fundamento a alegria, a descontração, a interação e a liberdade e isso só é possível se a função da escola for orientada pela emoção do amar.
PARQUE DA ESCOLA: UM ESPAÇO LÚDICO EDUCATIVO PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO PSICOMOTOR E A AQUISIÇÃO DAS LINGUAGENS NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: Lobo Adelina Soares
Published: January 2022

Percebi que, após descartar dificuldades no desenvolvimento neurológico e emocional somados aos fatores de ordem psicomotora e ambiental, as estratégias pedagógicas utilizadas, descontextualizadas da realidade da criança para este fim, são muitas vezes responsáveis pelo sucesso ou fracasso na aquisição da linguagem falada e escrita. Este estudo buscou responder acerca da contribuição de uma prática lúdico-educativa pela via corporal, na construção da leitura e da escrita dos alunos do 3º Ano do ensino fundamental. Utilizei a pesquisa etnográfica para encontrar a resposta. As conclusões remeteram que as vivências lúdicas motoras realizadas no parque da escola contribuíram para o desenvolvimento integral dos alunos, sendo o desenho, a leitura e a escrita as competências mais significativas desenvolvidas para a construção de futuras habilidades.
PRESENÇA DA EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL EM MANAUS/AM: O PROJETO CARAVANA DA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Published: January 2022

Este estudo investigou como se dá a presença da Educação Física (EF) na Educação Infantil (EI) em Manaus/AM. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, que usou entrevista semiestruturada com o coordenador do projeto Caravana da Educação Infantil. Utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo e a Sociologia da Infância (SI) como base teórica. O professor de EF está inserido na EI, porém em número reduzido, para assessorar os professores generalistas. Os pressupostos teóricos da Caravana parecem pender para a perspectiva maturacional e desenvolvimentista. Ambiguamente, existem projetos que vão além dessa perspectiva. Os desafios estão em aumentar o número de professores de EF e melhorar a sua formação continuada. A Caravana possui potencialidades para crescer, mas não pode recair nos moldes disciplinar e escolarizante. Nesses termos, advogamos por políticas públicas que ampliem o projeto. Também, vemos como fator positivo a adoção da SI como perspectiva teórica e o fortalecimento do assessoramento em projeto integradores.

Destacamos o diálogo e o trabalho coletivo ao longo do processo e identificamos que a interdisciplinaridade representa uma perspectiva heurística para a atuação docente na Educação Infantil.
Challenges of the educational inclusion of students with SA in public elementary schools in México
Authors: Castañón-Rodríguez Minerva , Olave Moreno Irlanda , Villarreal-Ballesteros Ana Cecilia
Published: January 2022

Los sistemas de educación actual promueven la inclusión educativa de estudiantes con necesidades especiales en la escuela regular. Los alumnos diagnosticados con síndrome de Asperger (SA) representan un reto para las instituciones educativas dado que, en la actualidad, se conoce muy poco acerca de los efectos de las estrategias y los desafíos para lograr la inclusión educativa. El sistema educativo mexicano requiere avanzar hacia la inclusión por medio del estudio de las situaciones cotidianas que se suscitan en los salones de clase. El propósito de esta investigación es brindar una nueva comprensión de los procesos de inclusión educativa. Más específicamente, la investigación buscó examinar cómo se construyen los procesos de inclusión educativa en escuelas de nivel primaria de Chihuahua, México a través de: (1) las interacciones educativas entre docentes-alumnos con SA y (2) las estrategias de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el aula. La perspectiva metodológica que se siguió en este estudio fue la cualitativa por medio del estudio de casos. La investigación se realizó en el periodo escolar enero-julio de 2019 en dos grupos de 3er grado de nivel básico. Los datos se obtuvieron por medio de la observación de las interacciones docentes- estudiantes y las actividades académicas en el aula, fueron codificados manualmente y se analizaron mediante el método de comparación constante desarrollado por Glaser y Strauss (1967). Se identificaron algunos desafíos como son la falta de estrategias para el desarrollo de habilidades sociales de los estudiantes con SA. El análisis de las interacciones profesores-estudiantes con SA permite interpretar que los salones de clases son fundamentalmente, en los casos estudiados, espacios orientados al logro de objetivos académicos y el desarrollo cognitivo de los estudiantes, más que al desarrollo de sus habilidades sociales y personales.

Deciding on what treatment (repair or replacement) to provide for a failed indirect restoration can be challenging. Notably, the strength of the residual tooth structure could be improved after replacing the failed indirect restoration using a minimally invasive strategy. Objective: To describe the use of a minimally invasive strategy for the successful clinical replacement of two failed indirect metal restorations with direct composite restorations and the attainment of bonded restoration. Case Report: Case 1. A 52-year-old male patient came to the dental hospital complaining of discomfort when drinking cold beverages and food impaction on the proximal area of the upper left first molar. Case 2. A 45-year-old female patient complained about her debonded metal onlay and secondary caries in the upper right second molar. Both of these indirect restoration failures were treated with direct resin composite restoration. Both patients were highly satisfied with the results. Conclusion: This report presents the benefits of adopting a minimally invasive strategy approach for replacing failed indirect restorations (inlays and onlays) with direct-bonded composite restorations. Minimally invasive direct restorations are designed to maximize the preservation of tooth structure, thereby ensuring a long-term bonded restoration and leaving future options open when a failure occurs.

Published: January 2022

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 has many demands, opportunities and threats that arise. Many types of work that have been carried out by human resources but have now been replaced with information technology. On the contrary, there are many weaknesses and obstacles as well as learning obstacles that have been faced but have now been overcome by utilizing information technology. However, not all universities are ready to face the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, not even all lecturers are ready to face the demands of work in this era of the industrial revolution 4.0. This research uses associative descriptive method that is analyzing the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. In this case there are three independent variables namely Academic Experience (X1) and Organizational Commitment (X2) and Motivation (X3) and one dependent variable is Work Readiness (Y).In this case it can be stated that the constant 14.41 is the score of the lecturer job readiness score (Y) if academic experience (X1), organizational commitment (X2) and work motivation (X3) are absent. The three independent variables have a significant positive effect on performance (Y) at the significance level α = 5%. Thus it can be said that it is proven significantly that academic experience (X1), organizational commitment (X2), work motivation (X3) have a positive and real influence on the work readiness of lecturers (Y), and this gives meaning that this study accepts the research hypothesis.

Many economists, monetary policy makers and bankers view interest rates as an efficient tool for allocating funds, evaluating the efficiency of projects, and measuring financing costs, and that they are the main indicator of many economic variables and phenomena. Other variables, and enables those authorities to implement the monetary policy desired by them. This has led to an important fact, which is that interest rates have lost their effectiveness as a tool for resource allocation or as an influence on economic, credit and monetary policies, and then central banks resorted to new and unconventional tools and forms of monetary policy with the aim of pumping additional liquidity into the banking system or stimulating economic activity. These unconventional policies are the quantitative easing policy that is called quantitative easing sometimes or credit easing at other times, which is based on the central bank’s resort to buying troubled assets that caused a lack of liquidity in commercial banks, or buying assets and government securities from those banks in order to enable them to Adjusting its liquidity position and resuming its lending activity.

The Concept of Social Responsibility of Business: From Economics to Law
Authors: Khamidullina Farda Ildarovna , Ilnurovich Gazizullin Rishat
Published: January 2022

The article discusses the concept of social responsibility of business, which underlies the theory of corporate management, and traces its evolution from economic to legal content in the XX-XXI centuries. The authors consider various paradigms of understanding the essence and principles of practical implementation of the concept of social responsibility of business from the theories of corporate egoism, corporate altruism, reasonable altruism to the "pyramidal" concept of corporate social responsibility, developed by A. Caroll, and ESG criteria. Historical features of the perception of entrepreneurship in Russia are indicated as a particular aspect. A proposal is made to popularize entrepreneurship through the work of high-quality corporate management aimed at solving social problems. The article recognizes the relevance of understanding the concept of social responsibility of business beyond economic theory as a universal concept affecting the spheres of economics, law, politics and international cooperation on humanitarian issues. Analyzing the concept of social responsibility of business in the legal aspect, which recognizes the need to balance social responsibility and respect for the interests of entrepreneurial activity, the authors turn to the theory of two orders (space and taxis) by F.A. von Hayek. Our analysis showed that one of the tasks of legal comprehension of the concept of social responsibility of business is the search for a one-to-one correspondence between what is prescribed to the subject of entrepreneurial activity by virtue of the law, and what the corporation voluntarily accepts as its social obligation.

Authors: Abdullah Wisam Dawood , Ali Ali Abdullah , Hazim Layth Rafea
Published: January 2022

Network Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (NTMA) is the main element to network management, especially to correctly operate large-scale networks such as the Internet on which modern academic organizations heavily depend. Their traffic use increases significantly because students, staff members, and research labs use them to search information. It is necessary to analyze, measure, and classify this Internet traffic according to the need of different stakeholders such as Internet Service Providers and network administrators. Moreover, bandwidth congestions frequently occur, causing user dissatisfaction. This study tries to find different characterizations such as data over hosts, countries, cities, companies, top-level domains, and servers. In addition, this is a new study to find out different patterns and levels of analysis from the device to its international requests. Our findings show that the highest traffic use is on Mondays and Wednesdays. Web server and DNS server drop in response to fault tolerance. Social networks consume most of the bandwidth, such as 42% Facebook followed by 22% WhatsApp in peak hours. The second most accessed sites are search engines. Google is the most used one. About 59% of the host cities are outside Iraq, in particular USA and the UK. In Amara and Baghdad cities, the requested sites are 51% and 49% overseas. About 40% of the traffic is provided by EarthLink Ltd. Communication Internet services (Iraq), 14% EdgeCast. 12% level3, 9% Facebook, 7% Google, Akamai-as and Microsoft-corp-msn-as-block. This study gives guidelines for network administrators to improve their performance and bandwidth at the educational networks.

Uncertain Data Analysis with Regularized XGBoost
Authors: G.V. Suresh , E.V. Srinivasa Reddy
Published: January 2022

Uncertainty is a ubiquitous element in available knowledge about the real world. Data sampling error, obsolete sources, network latency, and transmission error are all factors that contribute to the uncertainty. These kinds of uncertainty have to be handled cautiously, or else the classification results could be unreliable or even erroneous. There are numerous methodologies developed to comprehend and control uncertainty in data. There are many faces for uncertainty i.e., inconsistency, imprecision, ambiguity, incompleteness, vagueness, unpredictability, noise, and unreliability. Missing information is inevitable in real-world data sets. While some conventional multiple imputation approaches are well studied and have shown empirical validity, they entail limitations in processing large datasets with complex data structures. In addition, these standard approaches tend to be computationally inefficient for medium and large datasets. In this paper, we propose a scalable multiple imputation frameworks based on XGBoost, bootstrapping and regularized method. XGBoost, one of the fastest implementations of gradient boosted trees, is able to automatically retain interactions and non-linear relations in a dataset while achieving high computational efficiency with the aid of bootstrapping and regularized methods. In the context of high-dimensional data, this methodology provides fewer biased estimates and reflects acceptable imputation variability than previous regression approaches. We validate our adaptive imputation approaches with standard methods on numerical and real data sets and shown promising results.
Cognitive Constructivist Theory of Multimedia for Appreciative Response: An Approach to Decode Sociolinguistic Appropriations in Texts’ of Nigeria
Authors: Brown Magdelene Aneetee , S. Dr.Patchainayagi
Published: January 2022

The paper aims to explore Multimedia as a cognitive tool to enhance the study of appropriated texts of Nigeria and the sociolinguistic reasons behind appropriating the English language to carry the native's experiences. The writers of Nigeria deploy the strategies to reconstruct Africa's taunted imageries and cultures. An ethnographic study exposes the strategic method of representing authentic versions through abrogation. The article examines and re-evaluates, identified resistant strains that are consciously or unconsciously integrated in the texts, according to their level of contact with the English language to ensure their text's authenticity. The palm-wine Drinkard and Purple Hibiscus are the texts(novel) representing the first and third generation of Nigerian authors selected for the study. Bakhtin’s theory on Heteroglossia and dialogism also analyses the selected novels. The novelists resist the hegemonic speech pattern to incorporate indigenous practices within their utterances. Multimedia as a tool can enrich the cognitive process in comprehending the appropriated texts. A Quasi-experimental research design was used to evaluate the comprehensive capacity of tertiary learners before and after using Multimedia to capture the quintessence of an indigenised novel. While some may criticize Appropriation as a market-driven exoticism, it has successfully fashioned familiarization of Indigenized culture, rather than alienating the knowledge about it using multimedia.

Published: January 2022

The multidisciplinary analysis for the training with research and development (R&D) regarding nuclear terrorism is studied. The cyber terror attack on nuclear power plants (NPPs) has provoked necessities of the education importance. The system dynamics (SD) is applied to this work, which was created in MIT around 1950s to promote the corporations of managers to enhance their understandings in industrial and political processes and the SD is nowadays being used throughout the public and private sector for policy analysis and design. SD simulations are shown as Records Retention, New R&D, New Education, Change Control, and Security Program Review. In these simulations, the continuous increasing values are shown in Records Retention. The New R&D and New Education are randomly generated values between 0.0 and 1.0. After the summations with these values, Change Control and Security Program Review are obtained. The effect of simulation is highest in the 10th month. Otherwise, it is minimized in 19th month. The higher values mean in the situation much more secure for the cyber terror in the nuclear industry. Internationally agreed training center could be established for the prevention and preparations for the potential terror cases. Regarding the other kinds of energy facility, the oil and coal powered plants have many susceptible situations. For example, the power line control system could be attacked by the networking computer system. Considering the common characteristics of the cyber terror on industry, the international attacking is possibly done due to the networking of the internet systems. The education program will be constructed and modified reflecting the situations of each nation.
A Sensor-aware Offloading Model for IoT Edge Computing
Authors: Byun Siwoo
Published: January 2022

In IoT sensor network environment, offloading is an important factor that affects all design objectives. Since massive amounts of data are collected every second to the gateway and so immediate processing is difficult, offloading is critical to quickly eliminate worthless data in advance. Similar sensor data are continuously generated except in abnormal situations such as sudden changes and failure events. Therefore, the amount of data processing and frequency of data transmission can be greatly reduced by classifying, filtering, and compressing the data. In addition, more meaningful IoT context can be analyzed by combining multiple sensor data, since the sensor values generated by each sensor has its own characteristics. The previous offloading techniques mainly focused on minimizing latency without using data context and data resizing. Therefore, a new filtering technique is required to enhance the offloading efficiency through precision control using sensor context patterns. This paper proposes a new sensor-aware context offloading model called SCOM to support efficient data filtering services for the edge-based IoT environment. The architecture of SCOM consists of three layers of sensor context, pattern context and transmission context. SCOM exploits context-aware stream pattern matching using general string matching based on slide window for sensor stream offloading. Experiments show that the performance gain of SCOM reaches to 14.8% with respect to the operation throughput. Since proposed data layering and pattern-based offloading scheme can improve the sensor data filtering performance in edge gateways, it can be used for IoT sensor monitoring applications.
CNN based Distance and Velocity Estimation for OFDM Radar Systems
Authors: Choi Jae-Woong , Jeong Eui-Rim
Published: January 2022

The objective of this paper is to propose a new target distance and velocity estimation technique for OFDM radar systems. First, the 2D periodogram is collected from the reflected signal via FFT of received OFDM symbols. The largest value of a 2D periodogram often represents the target so that its position indicates the distance and velocity. The CFAR is one of the famous conventional techniques to find the peak in the 2D periodogram. In this paper, a CNN based estimator is proposed. The proposed CNN directly finds the distance and velocity from the 2D periodogram. The proposed method requires only 2D periodogram to estimate the target’s distance and velocity. On the other hand, the conventional methods need noise variance as well as the periodogram. The performance is examined through computer simulation. In the simulation, the MAEs are compared between the conventional and proposed methods. According to the results, the MAEs of the proposed method are lower approximately 8 m in distance and 7 km/h in speed to the conventional method. The proposed OFDM radar technique can be applied to 6G mobile communications to identify the moving targets without additional frequency resource allocation for the radar system. In other words, by using the proposed technique, the convergence of the communication and radar can be possible.

In the messaging server where many devices send and receive messages, the ability to monitor the performance of the server and characteristics of the messaging is essential. This paper decides MQTT as the messaging protocol, and analyzes and defines key parameters that show the performance of the MQTT server and the characteristics of MQTT communication like MQTT message topics. In addition, this paper built an MQTT messaging server for testing by using Mosquitto as a MQTT broker and a separate monitoring system to monitor defined key parameters. In this paper, the system for monitoring the performance of the MQTT messaging server was built into three parts: a dashboard server, a monitoring application, and a test load generator. The test load generator is configured to generate a large amount of MQTT message load using 11 Raspberry PIs. The monitoring application was developed and installed on the MQTT server computer and periodically stored the server's performance and the MQTT message-related parameters processed by Mosquitto in the dashboard server's DB. The dashboard server was developed as a web server and implemented so that the administrator can view the data stored in the DB through a web browser in real time. Through experiments that generate various loads in the test load generator, it has been confirmed that the monitoring system operates normally. The monitoring system built in this paper is expected to be a good model of the monitoring system to be built together when developing an MQTT-based messaging server.

Security issues in cloud computing is always challenging task for the researchers and practitioners. Especially in private cloud security is one of the critical issues to grant access to the remote server. Biometric authentication process will be one of the best solutions to grant access for private cloud server. This paper proposes a novel integrated technique for the secure cloud access by considering Bio-cryptic with DOES features, designated as ‘Bio-Cryptic DOST’ (BCDOST) method. The method is implemented in Matlab and trained with 6000 data samples and tested using 5000 biometric data samples that includes, finger, face, iris and palm biometric features. Overall, 98.7% has obtained on a K-fold cross-validation (k=5), and also the results was compared with the present DOST and 4 different customary strategies. supported the results, it's over that, the proposed methodology performed well with relation to accuracy and computation-time.

Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder that has affected many children around the globe in recent years. It is possible to reduce the severity of the symptoms when the affected children are identified and treated early. Hence, early detection and treatment of this neurodevelopmental disorder significantly help the patient’s (young ASD kids) well-being. In this regard, the research has been initiated by developing an algorithm based on a neural network that can efficiently differentiate the brain activity of a normal young subject and an autistic young subject. In this research, Electroencephalography (EEG) data were collected from normal kids and kids with ASD from age 4 to 6. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used for feature extraction of EEG data for valence state analysis on younger kids. It was inferred that there is a linear increase in Power Spectral Density (PSD) irrespective of age during valence state analysis of various EEG bands such as gamma, beta, alpha, and theta. When comparing the PSD of normal subjects with subjects of ASD, the PSD of ASD subjects is comparatively higher than the PSD of normal subjects. The trained network can classify the EEG data as normal subjects and subjects with ASD with good accuracy from the datasets.

The digital era transforms behavior change; this study aims to determine the role of local governments in the digital era and the pandemic in alleviating stunting in Indonesia. This type of research is qualitative; the research method uses in-depth interviews and triangulation for data analysis. Sources of data from Key informants and informants from the Department and the community in Loa Kulu District, Kutai Kartanegara. The results showed that the program “Deserves Healthy Sports” Kutai regional government applied mammal, in Kalimantan, Indonesia, has been applied in various areas through online media such as health programs. However, the socialisation of this health program is still lacking, and the health program is also not optimal; it is shown that the level of public health, especially regarding stunting, is still quite high. The program for the community’s welfare to alleviate poverty has not been achieved because the government’s efforts have experienced many obstacles in its implementation due to the pandemic, such as many residents who do not work due to limited employment opportunities. Residents do not have other work skills; another factor is distributing food. Does not support it, so that in order to collect data and distribute assistance for stunting toddlers, they still often experience obstacles.

The infrastructure of road systems is weak in many developing countries, and in the emergency situations, there is an urgent need for the discovery of the nearby emergency facilities, finding the optimal route for these services, and avoiding traffic delays to reduce losses of lives and assets. In this paper, these problems were undertaken by building a geodatabase for the study area of Amman city, Jordan, and by adopting the Geographic Information System (GIS) with other applications, such as the Dijkstra algorithm for shortest path and nearest facility applications. In this paper, a specific area in Amman, with high traffic was selected to be analysed using GIS for Transportation Tools (GIS-T). This research has been conducted to help decision makers to discover the best way to plan transportation, investigate transportation needs, analyse travel demands, and monitor traffic flow, creating a new and efficient transportation system that will efficiently help in economic development of any country.
External Economic Fluctuations and Domestic Savings: A Study of Selected Oil Countries

Published: January 2022

The oil-producing countries generally suffer from a disturbance in the level of domestic savings, arising from the instability of incomes linked to oil revenues. Therefore, this study aimed to know the impact of external economic fluctuations on the level of domestic savings, and five oil-producing countries were selected for the period (2005-2017). Problem statement is The Study problem lies in the following question: Is saving able to finance economies in oil countries, in light of external shocks?). Study hypothesis (The multiplicity of external shocks cracks domestic savings, as well as their fragility in oil countries in general, which is negatively reflected in the sustainability of savings in generating investment and production in the oil economies.). The study concluded that the low level of domestic saving against economic fluctuations makes the country weak in adjusting the economic environment to absorb the impact of economic fluctuations. The study recommended building domestic savings and stabilizing incomes in order to strengthen the channels of financing the national economy.
