Authors:   rushidjay.sancon@lspu.edu.ph Laguna State Polytechnic University Philippine Christian University Philippines, S. Sancon Rushid Jay
Published: June 2023

The passage of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, establishes a new data privacy framework for all industries and sectors, whether in public or private. Different agencies’ policies have aimed to foster innovation and the development of commercial and public sector technical skills. The hit COVID-19 pandemic pushed academic institutions for a paradigm shift in the delivery of instructional and administrative services in online platforms. This study assessed Laguna State Polytechnic University’s (LSPU) data privacy policies and governance transformation to determine its best practices and establish an informational privacy framework. LSPU commenced its full compliance in 2017, hence the researcher chose the respondents whose employment at the university is between 2017 and 2021 to ensure they have sufficient experience and skill in the implementation of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its rules and regulation in the university. Questionnaires were utilized to collect information, and interviews with unit heads and university staff validated the results. Based on the study’s hypothesis, it is determined that the governance of existing data privacy policies at the institution is completely established. Since the results of the analysis revealed a significant correlation, the respondents strongly support a very high degree of data privacy implementation oversight. Further, using the path-analysis technique, it was found that governance has a positive effect on the current practices of data privacy in the university. Finally, the study revealed that when there is a certain policy change responsive to the data privacy law that is to be implemented in the university, it is expected that practices in the implementation of data privacy law will show significant change.

Illegal logging contributes to conflicts with the local populations, political violence, funding armed conflicts, and worsening poverty. The main objective of this study was to determine the extent of the implementation of anti-illegal logging law in Eastern Visayas. Also, it aimed to identify the actions of the implementing agencies to the illegal logging activities and reasons why it persists. Purposive sampling was utilized to identify the eighteen forest protection officers from PENRO and CENRO of DENR and fifty-one police personnel in selected police stations. An explanatory sequential mixed method was employed in this study, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative descriptive approaches. The findings revealed that forest law enforcers implemented the anti-illegal logging law in Eastern Visayas. The study further revealed no significant difference in the perception of the forest protection officers and the police respondents regarding the implementation of anti-illegal logging law. The actions taken by the implementing agencies were in coordination with other implementing agencies, anti-illegal logging operations conducted, apprehension, confiscation of logs, wood, chainsaws, and conveyances, and appropriate charges filed towards timber poachers The reasons why the problems persist were the lack of livelihood programs, timber poaching as a regular occupation, economic and political factors, minimal penalties, inadequate manpower, and noncooperation of the community. Thus, the anti-illegal logging law should be further carried out to protect the forest and the people’s general safety. Keywords: Criminology, Anti-illegal logging law, mixed methods, Philippines

Authors: Mukurunge Tawanda , Rapitse Senate , Bhila Takura
Published: June 2023

Reproductive health is a right every citizen can enjoy without fear or prejudice. However, in conservative societies, discussing or educating young people on reproductive health is taboo. Lesotho is one such society debilitated by tendencies where openly discussing reproductive health in the home between children and their parents barely exists. This study, therefore, sought to explore the subject matter of reproductive health, demystify it and promote health communication on the issue for a healthier society. The study employed the qualitative approach, interviewing women from the cross-section of society indiscriminately, and presented and analyzed the findings qualitatively.

Authors:   Amity School of Engineering & Technology, Kumari Lalita
Published: June 2023

-Meta-learning has emerged as a powerful technique for enabling machines to learn to learn. It enables algorithms to leverage past experience and adapt to new tasks with limited labeled data. In natural language processing (NLP), meta-learning has been shown to improve the performance of models on a range of tasks. However, the full potential of meta-learning in NLP has not been explored. In this paper, we review recent work on meta-learning in NLP and propose new research directions to further explore the potential of this technique. Specifically, we investigate the use of meta-learning for few-shot learning, domain adaptation, and cross-lingual learning. We also explore the challenges associated with meta- learning in NLP, such as the choice of meta-features and the need for large-scale meta-learning datasets. Our experiments demonstrate that meta-learning has the potential to significantly improve the performance of NLP models, particularly on low-resource and cross-lingual tasks. Keywords: NLP, meta-learning, few-shot learning, language modeling, sentiment analysis, machine translation, BERT, transformer models, deep neural networks.
Nepal's Tax Revenue: Analyzing the Effect on GDP
Authors: Thapa Krishna Bahadur
Published: June 2023

Nepal, like most developing nations, must overcome several economic obstacles in order to pursue sustainable economic growth and development through taxation. The issue over whether taxes are an effective instrument for fostering economic development and growth in the literature is still open since different studies have shown conflicting results on the impact of taxes on economic growth. The goal of the study is to determine the relationship between Nepal's economic growth and the tax revenue sources of the government, while also measuring the short and long run effects of changes in these revenue sources on economic growth. To forecast the change in economic growth due to changes in tax revenue sources, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) is performed on time series secondary data for the period from 1974 to 2021. According to the findings, Non-Tax Revenue (NTR) have positive significant relationship, while Tax Revenue (TR) has a positive but insignificant relationship with Nepal's economic growth over the long run. Variables were found to be stationary at I (0) and I (1) using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test. According to the results of the bound test, Non-tax revenue is the cointegrated factor that affect Nepal's economic growth. The factor that has no impact on Nepal's economic growth is tax revenue. Non- tax revenue significantly affects Nepal's economic growth over the long run. As non-tax revenue has a positive impact on Nepal's economic growth and tax revenue have a negative impact on it, it is advised that policymakers concentrate on increasing the revenue collection from non-tax revenue sources in order to prosper and accelerate economic growth. In terms of economic growth, the study concludes that Nepal has experienced an increase over time. The study does find that the economic growth has been moderate.

Authors: Li Songyu , Lideskog Håkan
Published: June 2023

To further develop forest production, higher automation of forest operations is required. Such endeavour promotes research on unmanned forest machines. Designing unmanned forest machines that exercise forwarding requires an understanding of positioning and angle estimations of logs after cutting and delimbing have been conducted, as support for subsequent crane loading work. This study aims to improve the automation of the forwarding operation and presents a system to realize real-time automatic detection, positioning, and angle estimation of harvested logs implemented on an existing unmanned forest machine experimental platform from the AORO (Arctic Off-Road Robotics) Lab. This system uses ROS as the underlying software architecture and a Zed2 camera and NVIDIA JETSON AGX XAVIER as the imaging sensor and computing platform, respectively, utilizing the YOLOv3 algorithm for real-time object detection. Moreover, the study combines the processing of depth data and depth to spatial transform to realize the calculation of the relative location of the target log related to the camera. On this basis, the angle estimation of the target log is further realized by image processing and color analysis. Finally, the absolute position and log angles are determined by the spatial coordinate transformation of the relative position data. This system was tested and validated using a pre-trained log detector for birch with a mean average precision (mAP) of 80.51%. Log positioning mean error did not exceed 0.27 m and the angle estimation mean error was less than 3 degrees during the tests. This log pose estimation method could encompass one important part of automated forwarding operations.

Introduction: Cable yarding is a technology that enables efficient and sustainable use of timber resources in mountainous areas. Carriages as an integral component of cable yarding systems have undergone significant development in recent decades. In addition to mechanical and functional developments, carriages are increasingly used as carrier platforms for various sensors. The goal of this study was to assess the accuracy of individual standing tree and stand variable estimates obtained by a mobile laser scanning system mounted on a cable yarder carriage.Methods: Eight cable corridors were scanned across two forest stands. Four different scan variants were conducted, differing in the movement speed of the carriage and the direction of movement during scanning. An algorithm for tree detection, diameter and height estimation was applied to the 3D datasets and evaluated against manual tree measurements.Results: The analysis of the 3D scans showed that the individual tree parameters strongly depend on the scan variant and the distance of each individual tree to the skyline. This was due to changing 3D point densities and occlusion effects. It turned out that scan variant 1, in which the scan was performed during slow carriage movement downwards and back upwards again, was advantageous. At a distance of 10 m, which is half of the recommended corridor spacing of 20 m for whole tree cable yarding, 95.44% of the trees in stand 1 and 92.16% of the trees in stand 2 could be detected automatically. The corresponding root mean sqare errors of the diameter at breast height estimatimations were 1.59 cm and 2.23 cm, respectively. The root mean square errors of the height measurements were 2.94 m and 4.63 m.Conclusions: The results of this study can help to further advance the digitization of cable yarding and timber flow from the standing tree to the sawmill. However, this requires further development steps in cable yarder, carriage, and laserscanner technology. Furthermore, there is also a need for more efficient software routines to take the next steps towards precision forestry.

Short-term Power Prediction Method of Photovoltaic Based on Output Clustering in Smart Grid
Authors: Wang Xiaoyang , Chen Siming , Sun Yunlin , Chen Sichou
Published: June 2023

Accurate photovoltaic power prediction can ensure the smart grid's safe and stable operation, as well as reasonable energy scheduling. Weather influences photovoltaic output, which is irregular and unstable, and photovoltaic output is similar under similar meteorological conditions. The paper proposes a solar power forecast model based on Mean-Shift clustering, support vector machine (SVM), and residual neural network (ResNet) in this regard. Firstly, the Mean-Shift algorithm is used to cluster similar days. Then, the SVM model is constructed to learn the similarity between the data of each meteorological type, and the similar day matching is performed on the forecast day. Finally, the short-term photovoltaic output prediction based on ResNet algorithm is carried out for the corresponding weather type. The suggested method's high forecast accuracy and stability are confirmed by experimental examination of a commercial photovoltaic power station.

Published: June 2023

Public acquisitions of goods and services provide the demands for the fulfillment of the functions of the State. It happens that the routine of public institutions is permanently exposed to risks and uncertainties, and in this context, risk management can promote the improvement of the quality of public spending. The problems that occurred during the purchase represent the materialization of the risks and make explicit the need for the adoption of tools to mitigate its consequences. The study of these processes, considering the relevant information from the contractual execution phase of the acquisitions and their mapping, can provide subsidies to answer the following question: What risks permeate the execution of public contracts for the acquisition of goods and materials within the scope of the Federal University of Latin American Integration (UNILA)? To meet the proposed objective, descriptive research was used, having the case study as a strategy. The analysis of these processes allowed us to identify which risks permeate the execution of public contracts for the acquisition of goods and materials within the scope of UNILA and thus propose tools for mitigation and control, based on the use of the methodology proposed by PMBOOK.

Organizational betterments impact and challenge the tacit and empirical knowledge related to fear, productivity, and organizational cultural changes. From that understanding, this study case features an authentic laboratory of facts and experience that provides the opportunity to apply tools and techniques that, displayed through the innovative methodology and customized proposal for small business operations, could minimize the impacts of fear within its different spheres, what shall enable to consider, scientifically, the efficiency of tools for adequate and appropriate management to promote business results. A humanistic approach, proposed by people-oriented management philosophy, considers the relation between interpersonal relationship betterment and the increase in productivity a fundamental element to perform tangible results. It is believed that by approaching fear as a paradigm, resignifying absolute truths, roles, and responsibilities, and treating the needs of individuals either isolated or in groups, it can be possible to map the human potential and professional talents among collaborators. Revealing future successors, and identifying the best practices and solutions for the organization by establishing a strong trust relationship among collaborations, can also stimulate higher accession and increase professional interest in the business issues. It is concluded that, via humanized management, the major investors may increase people's productivity and profitability of the business units, promoting operational sustentabililty with higher organicity.

The aim of these recommendations is to achieve a balanced and healthy online shopping environment that will contribute to both social and economic development.
Spiritual Growth Under the Hero’s Journey: The Portrayal of the Little Man from Korean Film Ode to My Father
Authors: Wang Hongxia
Published: June 2023

The research on the inner growth of characters is something lacking in current cinematic characterization. Little characters have an inherent commonplace nature that easily resonates with the audiences, but also usually have a tendency to get trapped in the description of the grueling daily grind. Therefore, the key is how to break through the insignificance of their roles to shape the little people’ personality charm in films. Ode to My Father, a Korean film for “millions of viewers”, successfully created a heroic little protagonist, following the framework of a hero’s journey with a plot of departure, enlightenment and return. Under the mask of the “elder” personality, this character reaches his self-reconciliation and completes the journey of individuation after a gradual self-awakening and valiantly confrontation with his inner shadows. Furthermore, this technique definitely provides an inspiration for the characterization of little characters.

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND
Early diagnosis of malocclusion and intercepting the malocclusion at an earlier stage is inevitable in orthodontics. The morphological characteristics of palatal rugae are set up at an early age and are stable in their position and pattern throughout the life of an individual, hence they are used as a reference landmark for superimposition and evaluate the extent of tooth movement in orthodontics. This review aims to analyze the orthodontic literature regarding the association of palatal rugae pattern with different malocclusion.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
To analyse the literature regarding the association of palatal rugae pattern with different malocclusion by using the keywords palatal rugae or plica palatine transversae or rugoscopy and malocclusion or sagittal malocclusion or class I or class II or class III or skeletal pattern and stability and orthodontics or orthodontia. The pubmed, Google scholar, Embase databases were searched till June 2022.
RESULTS
Wavy and Curved type of rugae was more common rugae pattern in all group of malocclusions. Many studies found there is no statistically significant difference in palatal rugae among malocclusion. However, few studies showing that largest number of rugae is present in class II malocclusion than class I and class III.
CONCLUSION
This review provides evidence of a distinct pattern of Palatal rugae in Class I and Class III malocclusion and largest number in Class II but to ascertain its statistical significance, further research is needed with a larger sample size.

La transición de los sistemas de agua potable rural a los servicios sanitarios rurales [2.3249]
Authors: Cruz Poblete Gaby
Published: June 2023

El acceso al agua y su respectivo saneamiento es una constante necesidad humana que no responde únicamente a fines de consumo, sino que además constituye una base para el desarrollo de las personas en variados aspectos: sanitarios, educacionales, socioeconómicos, equidad de género, entre otros. Los sectores rurales suelen verse mayormente afectados en el desarrollo de estos fines, a diferencia de los sectores urbanos. Para cubrir dichas necesidades, la respuesta institucional de la época fue crear el Programa de Agua Potable Rural (APR) que, en principio, propendía a mejorar la salud pública. Con el paso del tiempo, el programa amplió sus propósitos e incluyó el desarrollo económico y social de la población rural. A pesar del positivo impacto del programa de APR, se han suscitado múltiples dificultades para cumplir sus objetivos. Bajo ese contexto, se dictó la Ley 20.998 de 2017, que reconoce diversos desafíos y convirtió los comités de APR en Servicios Sanitarios Rurales (SSR). Sin embargo, la aplicación de esta norma no ha sido pacífica para los SSR, por lo que en el presente ensayo se analizarán algunos factores que dicen relación con la adaptabilidad de los APR a la nueva figura de SSR.

ritmicidad y el comportamiento musical en la evolución humana
Authors: Alonso Avelino
Published: June 2023

Partiendo de la interrogante presentada por Charles Darwin en referencia a cómo un comportamiento carente de valor evolutivo, como parecía ser el musical, podía sin embargo ser universal, se intenta indagar en los afectos que el comportamiento musical aporta al humano, para así valorar su utilidad evolutiva. Proponemos la ritmicidad, inducida por el bipedismo, como base de partida, la cual da lugar a comportamientos que utilizan lo musical para fortalecer las relaciones intersubjetivas. Son los orígenes del comportamiento musical sobre lo que tratamos, a modo de introducción para una posterior inmersión en un asunto más complejo: la esencia de las músicas.
Nuevo siglo, neorrealismo y mundo
Authors: Olivares Antonio T.
Published: June 2023

Nuestro siglo avanza, y una cierta perspectiva de él, o por lo menos de su inicio, empieza a perfilarse. En el panorama reflexivo ha ido tomando fuerza un movimiento que podría pretenderse como la emblemática filosofía del s. XXI: nos referimos al neorrealismo. El presente trabajo ensaya un acercamiento a tal movimiento de la mano de uno de sus afamados representantes, Markus Gabriel; podemos aprovechar el examen de algunas de las tesis del autor germano para hacernos una idea de por dónde discurre el caminar de nuestra fonda reflexión, en este caso en el marco del longevo debate realismo vs. idealismo (o metafísica vs. constructivismo, como se estime). Tal lid podría entenderse de raigambre ontológica, pero nos hemos ido dado cuenta de la fundamental co-implicación entre ser y saber. De esta suerte, a partir de la analítica de Gabriel a propósito de lo existente y el mundo se inferirán consecuencias (o tal vez sea en dirección contraria) sobre modos, medios, elementos y condiciones de tal saber, destacándose la posibilidad y oportunidad de manejar cosmovisiones, una cuestión ya planteada en autores como Dilthey, Heidegger, Foucault o Kuhn. Todo ello nos abre la vía para reflexionar sobre la propia reflexión, recordándosenos que lo filosófico, por lo menos en nuestra civilización occidental, ha llamado al diálogo desde diferentes puntos de vista, haciendo hincapié en el compromiso y practicidad de la filosofía en sí misma, capaz de coadyuvar en la preservación de ese tesoro de nuestra cultura que es su multiplicidad y poliedrismo.
Niat Pengunaan Sistem Cloud Accounting di Kalangan UKM di Indonesia: Kerangka Konseptual Model Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) yang Dimodifikasi
Authors: Wiyanto Harry
Published: June 2023

This study aims to explore the main reasons why SMEs in Indonesia plan to use a cloud accounting system. The fact that SMEs are considered to be a significant economic player and an important source for growth in the national and local economy is motivated by this study. Nevertheless, more research is needed to support business operations particularly in the field of accounting or financial management, given Indonesia's considerable failure rate for small and medium sized enterprises. This study draws up a conceptual model incorporating an additional perceived safety factor in the four initial explanatory factors of UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology), including performance expectancy, effort expectation, social influence and facilitating conditions based upon literature on this area. This paper therefore proposes a conceptual framework for the revised UTAUT model, based on factors influencing users' intentions to use cloud accounting systems in Indonesia.
