This paper proposes a new type of small-sized I-shaped engineered cementitious composite (ECC)/ ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) composite beam which has the potential to be suitable for corrosive environments. The lower tensile part of the beam was made of ECC material (2/3 of the height), and the top compressive part was made of UHPC material (1/3 of the height). Inner embedded steel bars and surface-bonded basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) sheets were adopted as the reinforcing materials in combination. A total of nine I-shaped beams were designed and tested under four-point bending test. The influence of parameters such as the ratio of the embedded tensile steel bars, the top UHPC flange, and the surface bonded tensile BFRP sheet on the behavior of the beams was investigated. The results showed that the I-shaped ECC/UHPC composite beams have excellent comprehensive performance, and thanks to the ultra-high durability of the component materials, they have ultra-high durability that ordinary I-steel beams do not have and thus have broad application prospects in corrosive environments. The shear resistance capacity of the thin-walled ECC web needs to be further improved, and UHPC is recommended for the web in the follow-up study.

The lignocellulosic biomass wastes cause some burden on the environment; meanwhile, the concrete industry is faced with large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions and raw mineral materials consumption. The use of lignocellulosic biomass wastes in cementitious materials not only provides an alternative to deal with the wastes but also favors the sustainable development of concrete industry. This review first introduces the characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass and then examines its effect on the mechanical properties, shrinkage, cracking, and some other properties of cement composites. Results show that lignocellulosic biomass can be directly used for three purposes: reinforcements, aggregates, and cement replacements. Although the lignocellulosic biomass cannot always enhance the mechanical properties of cementitious materials, it can improve toughness, shrinkage, cracking, heat insulation, etc. Additionally, some concerns with the use of lignocellulosic biomass are summarized, for which some physical and chemical modification methods (heating treatment, boiling treatment, torrefaction treatment, etc.) are identified to change the structure or remove amorphous components of lignocellulose biomass or prevent it from directly contacting cementitious materials. This review can provide some guidance for designing sustainable cementitious materials with lignocellulosic biomass.

Various investigations have been presented on the possibility of using agro-allied industry waste in concrete, with the goal of achieving a cleaner environment and environmentally friendly construction. Biomass fly ash (BFA) and limestone clinker are waste from steam/power plants and the cement industry, respectively, and are of high relevance to economic and environmental problems. The effect of including biomass on the rheological and pozzolanic properties of Portland limestone cement (PLC) pastes are presented. The BFA was used as partial replacement for PLC as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The rheological properties (yield stress, viscosity and thixotropy) of the cement paste were determined using a parallel-plate rotational rheometer. The pozzolanic properties were determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) by measuring the amount of calcium hydroxide (CH), and calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) of the hydrated paste, as well as the reaction kinetics. Different characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to study the microstructure and mineralogy of the BFA. It was observed that the mineral composition of the biomass fly ash is like class C fly ash. At 15% of cement replacement the paste exhibits better rheological properties: lower yield stress and lower viscosity up till 120 min after mixing, which is an important factor in ready-mix concrete plants. However, a better pozzolanic behavior was observed at 20% cement replacement. From the results obtained, the properties of the paste containing BFA is very sensitive to water/binder ratio (w/b). Above 20% cement replacement, it is suggested to use viscosity modifying agent (VMA) to get a better rheology and pozzolanic behavior.

This study assessed the research competence of the graduate students of the College of Education, Northwest Samar State University, Philippines. More so, this utilized descriptive-correlational design employing the use of a questionnaire to gather data on the profile and level of research competence of the graduate students. Data were analyzed and statistically treated with frequency, percentages, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson r. Results revealed that Graduate students were of middle age, mostly female, single, have been teaching for less than ten years, mostly Teacher 1, have only attended 4 to 5 days of training and whose mean length of research involvement was 1.19 year. Graduate students perceived themselves as “competent” in the indicators of research competence. Furthermore, no significant relationship was found between Graduate students’ profile and their research competence. It was also revealed that the inadequacy of training and seminar, lack of technical assistance, difficulty in identifying the researchable issues and constructing research titles, too many teaching loads/assignments, and lack of enough time to carry out research in the school were the problems encountered. Thus, it is suggested that the Graduate students must undergo enhancement training for improved research competence.

Entre el Arbitraje Brasileño y el Arbitraje Europeo: Un estudio sobre la Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (ANATEL) y la Oficina de Comunicaciones (OFCOM)
Authors: Dalmar Fati
Published: September 2022

La búsqueda del arbitraje como medio de solución de controversias es importante debido al gran volumen de casos sometidos a juicio del Estado - juez, en número inversamente proporcional a la preparación técnica de quienes están investidos en la función jurisdiccional por acto estatal. . En la actualidad, hablar de la composición extrajudicial de conflictos en el ámbito de la regulación supone entrar en un escenario de grandes discusiones y debates. De esta forma, el texto busca construir razones para la resolución de disputas en el campo de las telecomunicaciones a través del arbitraje, incluyendo, a la vista de la experiencia europea, como OFCOM. Una de las funciones de los organismos reguladores es precisamente la solución de conflictos entre los actores del sector a nivel administrativo. Al analizar las formas de resolución de conflictos en la Unión Europea, se puede destacar el peculiar comportamiento. En las grandes disputas que ocurren en el continente, es más común usar el arbitraje que el poder judicial. De hecho, el arbitraje puede ser utilizado por ANATEL como una herramienta importante para garantizar una competencia amplia, libre y justa entre los proveedores de servicios de telecomunicaciones, ya que esquiva la lentitud del poder judicial y la posibilidad de litigios falsos, lo que permite la rápida adopción de una decisión. que muchas veces afecta los derechos de un gran número de usuarios de los servicios de telecomunicaciones. El alto prestigio que gozan estos métodos de solución de controversias rinde homenaje a su característica de ser un foro neutral, alejado de un organismo regulador de un país específico y próximo a árbitros elegidos de común acuerdo, o incluso vinculados a instituciones internacionales que prestan los servicios de arbitraje. en disputas comerciales.

AWS IoT Core and LoRaWAN Based Sensory Network system for Military Search and Rescue Missions
Authors: Dutta Prashant
Published: September 2022

The Indian armed forces is the second largest Military force in the world comprising of 1.4 million+ personnel’s (Active force) and 1.1 million+ reserved personnel’s. Apart from their duty of safeguarding its borders, the Military personnel’s are also engaged in Search and Rescue operations (SAR) across the globe. The SAR is conducted both for Military personnel’s and Civilians. The search and rescue operations are carried on varied demographic regions ranging from Snow areas ( -500 C) to Deserts ( +550 C), also SAR is conducted during natural calamities like Earthquake, Floods, Tsunami, Avalanche, Landslides etc. But the main challenge for any Military personnel in SAR is to identify whom to rescue first. By saying this we mean that if the personnel has the knowledge about the Vitals of the individual he/she is rescuing then he/she will be able to assess the gravity of the situation through those vitals. Vitals like SP02, Blood Pressure, Pulse rate can predict the survivability factor of the individual. So it means that if out of three individuals the Vitals of 1st person are serious and Vitals of the 2nd Person are Normal and the Vitals of the 3rd Person are Null, then it can be predicted that the 1st person should be rescued first and the 2nd person be rescued Second and the 3rd person whose Vitals are Null can be presumed dead and shall be rescued at the last. Now the main challenge comes, and that is how to gather those Vitals. The answer to this problem has been suggested through the experiments conducted in this paper. This paper suggests for a wireless sensor wrist band supporting LoRaWAN protocol ( Long Range Wide Area Network). The LoRaWAN uses LoRa Radio to transmit in low power at long-range wide area network. The aforementioned wristband shall transmit data to the AWS Cloud using AWS IoT Core. The AWS Cloud will aggregate the data received from all the people wearing the wrist band. From the aforesaid data those persons can be easily identified whose Vitals are critical. This will prove to be a Life Saver for Armed forces.

The state is defined as the highest organization among a group of people who have the aspiration to unite, live in the region, and have a sovereign government. The goals of the state, among others, are to expand power, maintain law and order, and achieve general welfare. Of course, in a country there are citizens who take shelter in it. According to the 2006 UUKI, what is meant by a citizen is a citizen of a country that is determined based on statutory regulations. The state is a place for the growth of religion. In the relationship between the state and citizens is very closely related. Citizens play an important role in maintaining the integrity of a country. Muslims in Indonesia must be smart to be a pillar of inter-religious harmony. The plurality of Indonesian citizens in terms of religion, race, ethnicity, and between groups, conflicts often occur which can have an impact on the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, abbreviated as NKRI. However, the spirit of maintaining inter-community and ethnic harmony and maintaining the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia is starting to be forgotten by the successors of this nation. The problem starts with religion or ethnicity.

Understanding Big Data Framework Related to a Data Mining Technique
Authors: B Shahida
Published: September 2022

The computing and communication power in the cyber-physical world is expanding greatly. As a result, a lot of data is generated to manage these activities. Big data has four primary challenges: volume, variety, velocity, and authenticity. Some storage-based data processing systems, like Hadoop, manage volume and variety. However, the speed and accuracy of processing such a vast volume of data require an overly complicated process. In this paper, we'll put into practice a system that can deal with huge volumes, varied patterns, and the speed of data. To extract valuable information from the data stream, we'll use correlation analytics and data mining. The system must be able to process data in real time, using an event processing engine like Esper that can generate various events using different language queries. Storm, which uses topology, is used to capture real-time data and for straightforward filtering of that data stream. Apriori and FP-Growth are two separate algorithms that are used for correlation and mining. Data centers all across the world are now using Apache Hadoop. The common programmer can now use parallel processing. It is essential to convert current data mining methods to the Hadoop platform as more data centers support it to maximize the effectiveness of parallel processing. The tendency of moving current data mining algorithms to the Hadoop platform has grown widespread with the advent of big data analytics. We examine the present migration activities and problems in this survey research. The reader's suggestions for solutions to the present migration difficulties will be guided by this essay.
"Using MongoDB to Understand the Underlying Methods Techniques Encryption in NoSQL database"
Authors: B Shahida
Published: September 2022

There is a need for appropriate encryption methods, which must be adhered by the concerned parties, in order to provide a high level of security for the secret data. In this study, an examination of the different encryption algorithms and their performance in the management of private data with authentication, access control, secure configuration, and data encryption is presented. It includes enhancing MongoDB's level-based access protected model and adding privacy keys for security and monitoring purposes respectively. The NoSQL data stores, also known as highly compressed data on non-relational database management systems, which provide support for data management of internet user programs, do not now offer this service. Data security, encryption techniques, MongoDB, and NoSQL are some of the keywords that come to mind.The proper encryption methods used to various crucial data fields provide data protection without adversely affecting the database's performance in terms of speed or memory usage. Due to the use of appropriate encryption techniques, this is achievable. Since document-oriented and unstructured data are generally kept in databases, it is frequently used to handle various sorts of data. Examples of such databases include MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB, Redis, Hyper-table, and others. Since they are open source, there is a critical necessity to offer good security and protect the user's private information when it is in transit or at rest. There is a need for a single solution that can improve the security of data transfer by providing an improved encryption method that speeds up processes and uses less memory when maintaining databases.
"Evaluation of NoSQL Database MongoDB with Respect to JSON Format Data Representation "

Published: September 2022

The current information technology advancement is attributed to the development of more data-intensive applications. However, due to stringent limitations on data structure, data relations, and other factors, relational databases do not allow us to work with huge data sets or maintain high volume databases. Unstructured data from many industries, including a variety of forms, must be processed and stored in databases. Thus, NoSQL types offer solutions to a number of problems associated with huge data bases. Largely because of the benefits like flexibility and horizontal scalability, NOSQL (Not Only SQL) is in demand. This essay explores many No SQL database types, such as MongoDB, CouchDB, HBase, Cassandra, etc. A document-oriented, cross-platform database called MongoDB offers excellent performance, high availability, and simple scalability. The MongoDB Query Language (MQL), created for ease of use by developers, is used by MongoDB. The documentation contrasts the syntax of MQL versus SQL for typical database operations. When your data is document-centric and doesn't fit well into the schema of a relational database, when you need to support vast size, when you need to quickly prototype, and for a few additional use cases, NoSQL databases like MongoDB are a solid option.The proper encryption methods used to various crucial data fields provide data protection without adversely affecting the database's performance in terms of speed or memory usage. Due to the use of appropriate encryption techniques, this is achievable. Since document-oriented and unstructured data are generally kept in databases, it is frequently used to handle various sorts of data.

It is commonly known that cloud computing, with its prospective benefits, has completely changed the enterprise IT sector. Due to the advantages of worryfree hardware maintenance, many businesses and sectors are transitioning to the cloud computing era. Large businesses are still not migrating to the cloud, which is reducing the market share of cloud computing. From the standpoint of the consumer, the biggest obstacles to using the cloud for data storage are security and privacy concerns. This paper outlines the numerous restrictions relating to data security and privacy protection issues and provides a few technologies, such as Trend Micro's SecureCloudTM, which enables users to function in the cloud safely and securely. Additionally, employing NoSQL databases, personal data security on the cloud. SecureCloud, FIPS 140-2, NoSQL databases, NSA, IAM rules, Accumulo Apache, Amazon DynamoDB, MarkLogic are some of the terms in the index.As a result, cloud users can benefit from the services provided by the cloud while still having total control over their data thanks to encryption keys. The SecureCloudTM uses VM-level encryption to encrypt data in working storage, enabling the use of distinct encryption keys for each user's particular data. This lessens the possibility of recycled disk blocks being sent to other users or of a configuration error causing data privacy violations. The third is commonplace encryption. Data is encrypted using Industry Standard AES by SecureCloudTM, making it inaccessible to anybody missing the encryption keys. The ability of SecureCloudTM to encrypt data gives users advantages when switching users or terminating storage.
Examining and juxtaposing the two NoSQL databases MongoDB and CouchDB

Published: September 2022

Relational databases have been an essential component of technology for many years. It has been, and in some cases, still is, the foundation of both large and small organizations. However, a few flaws in relational databases gave rise to NoSQL databases. NoSQL is not a particularly new technology, but it is one that is rapidly expanding. The structured query language is also known as NoSQL. Today, a variety of NoSQL databases are accessible depending on the user's needs. This review combines numerous comparisons of these databases based on various attributes. A few terms relating to NoSQL databases are also clarified and brought to light. Additionally, a detailed comparison of the two most popular NoSQL databases is evaluated.NoSQL is a component of a very narrow ecosystem with fewer applications than relational databases. Relational databases are fairly straightforward, which makes them easy to use, but the non-uniformity of the expanding data causes an issue with them. Organizations manage millions of pieces of data, which makes using a relational database challenging. Additionally, the IoT is right outside our door, and NoSQL is better for IoT applications. NoSQL was developed to address this non-uniformity and the rapidly expanding data sets. NoSQL is mostly utilized in distributed, cloud, and IoT systems. NoSQL databases eschew rigid schemas and prioritize availability, scalability, and fault tolerance as key properties.

The social sciences study various aspects of human behaviour – social, economic and political – based on observational data. Observational data are inaccurate and subject to simultaneity, seasonality, structural breaks, random variation and too many interlocking variables masking the underlying causal patterns. During the past two decades or so, the use experimental data (RCTs) has become widely popular across the social sciences, creating a tension between the supporters and critics of the new and the old methodologies. In this paper, we first review these methodologies, both observational and experimental, focusing on how economists and other social scientists try to learn about the underlying causal relationships from the correlations contained in the data. We then reflect on whether the new or the old methodologies should be the way forward from a purely statistical and a broader policy and development perspectives.

In Nigeria, tax income collection has become a crucial policy goal for the government. The influence of tax reforms and digitalization on government income in Nigeria is therefore investigated. The study focuses on evaluating the distributional outcomes of tax revenue and digitalization on both federal and state government revenues. An ex post facto research design was adopted in the study and both descriptive and inferential analysis of the hypothesized relationships was performed. The relationships are analyzed using secondary data from 1996 to 2020 and a dynamic framework based on the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration. The study confirmed that company income tax reforms improved federal government revenues but inhibited state government revenues (SGR) in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that the conduct of fiscal reforms in Nigeria should evolve to become more of a bottom–top approach where all tiers of government are included.

The objective of this article is to evaluate the effect of financial development on economic growth in the six countries of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central African States (EMCCAS) sub-region, during the period 2000-2020. To achieve our objective, we used the method of instrumental variables which are robust to autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity of errors and a possible problem of endogeneity. In addition, we used the Three Stages Least Squares method to test the robustness of our results. The results of the estimates revealed that there is an inverse relationship between financial intermediation and economic growth on the one hand and on the other hand, that there is a non-linear U-shaped relationship between the two variables. Therefore, the governments of the countries of the EMCCAS zone must implement policies aimed at supporting the guarantees of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) in their credit granting processes with banks or financial institutions.
The Moderating Mechanism of CEO Duality on Female Directors’ Attitudes toward Managerial Perks in AI Companies
Authors: Zhang Changzheng , Liang Jingjing
Published: September 2022

Based on managerial power theory, feminist care ethics theory and critical mass theory, the paper explores how CEO duality changes the relationship between female directors and managerial perks. This paper uses SPSS and STATA statistical software to conduct an empirical study using a data sample of 4126 listed AI (artificial intelligence) companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2011 to 2020. The results reveal that female directors can significantly promote managerial perks in the case of CEO duality and achieve effective correction of managerial perks when the CEO does not also serve as chairman. CEO duality is a key boundary condition for female directors to effectively monitor managerial perks. The study explores whether female directors can be effective in curbing managerial perks, given that the role played by female directors is related to environmental conditions. We expect that CEO duality, a key situational variable representing the level of CEO power, could significantly change female directors' attitudes toward management perks.

BACKGROUND: Nigeria has an estimated TB prevalence of 219 per 100,000 population. In 2019, Nigeria diagnosed and notified 27% of the WHO-estimated cases of all forms of TB and contributed 11% of the missing TB cases globally.OBJECTIVE: To assess TB underreporting by
type and level of health facility (HF), and associated factors in Lagos State, Nigeria.METHODOLOGY: Quantitative secondary data analysis of TB cases was conducted in 2015. χ2 test was used to assess the association between treatment initiation, TB underreporting,
local government area (LGA) and HF characteristics.RESULTS: Overall, 2,064 persons with bacteriologically confirmed TB (15.5%) were not matched to patients in sampled TB registers. Treatment status was unknown for 86 cases (IQR 55–97) per LGA. LGAs with higher case-loads had
higher proportions of cases with unknown TB status. Discrepant reporting of treated TB was also common (60% HFs). Primary-level TB treatment facilities and unengaged private facilities were less likely to notify.CONCLUSION: There was TB under-reporting across all types and levels
of HFs and LGAs. There is a need to revise or strengthen the process of supervision and data quality assurance system at all levels
