The trend of animal-vehicle collision (AVCs) occurrences over the past years demonstrates increasing numbers, and this call for a proper mitigation plan by appropriate authority bodies. Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) pedestrian system - proven effective in collision prevention and mitigation for vehicle-pedestrian collision – can potentially expand its original functionality to AVCs avoidance. This study presents a new data assessment method to predict the impact of AEB pedestrian system implementation on vehicles to reduce AVCs cases from 2016 to 2020. In general, a new scoring system is introduced whereby fitment rating points of 1, 0.5 and 0 are given to describe successful crash avoidance, crash mitigation with reduced damage and failed crash avoidance. Several noteworthy findings were discovered in assessing impact data from five significant AEB-AVCs. The effectiveness of AEB is found to be correlated with camera detection, system working speed range, frequent collision time, human casualties, and heavy vehicles. In general, the results indicate overall positive consequences of AEB implementation to reduce AVCs, providing concrete reasoning for standardising AEB pedestrian systems in all manufactured road-legal vehicles for upcoming years.
Fresh And Microstructural Properties Of Saw Dust Ash (SDA) Admixed With Millet Husk Ash (MHA) In Self Compacting Concrete (SCC)
Authors: Ayuba Solomon
Published: February 2024

The quest to mitigate the high cost and the environmental hazard associated with cement production has increased globally. Saw dust ash (SDA) and Millet husk ash (MHA)were obtained by burning at temperatures between 600ºC-650ºC and used at a varied mix proportion of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%. SDA and MHA were employed to partially replace Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in the production of grade 40 self-compacting concrete (SCC). To enhance the strength properties of SDA-SCC, an optimum dose of MHA was incorporated to produce SDA-MHA-SCC. Several trial mixes per standard specifications were conducted to obtain grade 40 SCC with a suitable proportion of plasticiser at 7.49 kg/m3 and a water-to-binder ratio of 0.37. They revealed the study that SDA-SCC's slump flow and passing ability reduces with an increase in SDA content in SCC and improvement in the resistance against segregation of MHA-SDA-SCC. Also, MHA has satisfied the requirement of ASTM C618 for good pozzolana.

Labour welfare as the work for improving the health, safety, general wellbeing and industrial efficiency of the workers beyond the minimum standards lay down by various Acts and Legislations. International Labour Organization (ILO) defined Labour Welfare as “Workers” welfare, such as services facilities and amenities which may be established on or in the vicinity of an understanding to enable the persons employed in them to perform they’re in healthy, congenial surroundings, and provided with amenities conductive to good health and high morale. It can also be classified as intramural and extramural. While intramural includes those welfare activities which ensures better quality of work like, scientific selection, trainee, good work environment, prevention of accidents, canteens, rest rooms, and refreshments etc.,. Extramural other welfare issues which also indirectly affect the quality of work life. Such issues cover, housing accommodation, medical services, recreation facilities, conveyance, social insurance scheme, provident fund benefits, pension, sickness, maternity benefits, school education for children etc.,. Industrial relations and Labour Welfare are two important areas governing employer–employee relations and benefits. For efficient management of an organization, it is essential to nurture healthy industrial relations and provide benefits to worker, both statutory and non-statutory. In India, we have several acts and legislations concerning these two areas. Many organizations, to derive motivational benefits provide welfare benefits beyond what are statutorily required.

Improving the quality of Cambodian higher education: Key challenges and suggestions
Authors: Ban Thach , Heng Kimkong
Published: February 2024

Higher education is one of the main drivers of economic development. Due to its significant roles, many countries, including Cambodia, have invested in developing their higher education subsector. For over two decades since 1997, Cambodia has experienced a high increase in the number of higher education institutions (HEIs). Despite the rapid institutional expansion, there are many issues impeding the quality of Cambodian higher education. Drawing on secondary sources and the authors’ extensive experience and knowledge of the subsector, this article tries to investigate and explain some of the factors affecting the quality of higher education in Cambodia. The article focuses on several issues, including political interference, fragmented governance structures, ineffective ministerial policy implementation, fragmented institutional management, limited quality of teaching personnel, low academic salaries, business-oriented higher education, and issues concerning curriculum and academic programs. The article offers some suggestions to address these challenges. Key suggestions include (a) limiting political interference in appointing top university leaders, (b) setting up effective and independent higher education quality assurance bodies, (c) creating a term limit for top university leadership roles, (d) establishing a meritocracy-based policy for university leader appointments, (e) making academic salaries comparable to those of other similar professions, (f) developing policies on minimum tuition fees and student loan programs, and (g) introducing mechanisms to improve curricula and promote enrollments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors. The article concludes with suggestions for future research.
Energy-Efficient Design with Wireless Backhaul In 5G Mm Wave Using Cellular Networks
Authors: Rathod Karahari Dr. Chandrakanth
Published: February 2024

The volume of global mobile data traffic is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. To enable this, disruptive solutions are required for 5th generation mobile networks (5G). Network capacity can be increased by enhancing spectral efficiency, cell density, as well as by procuring new spectrum. Considering the expected demand, all three will be essential. Millimeter wavelength (millimeter-wave) (30 GHz and above) spectrum was always known to be ample and underutilized, but was previously not considered favorable for mobile communications due to its radio propagation properties.While millimeter-waves offer more bandwidth than all of the spectrum below 6 GHz combined, they require a substantially different approach. A particular issue is the maximum length of a millimeter wave mobile access link; cell radii are estimated to be at most only hundreds of meters due to the unfavorable link budget. Millimeter waves will enable very dense cell layouts for extremely high network capacities.

The study evaluated the effect of service quality delivery and customer satisfaction on customer loyalty in selected hospitals in Jos North Metropolis. The main objective of the study was to ascertain the extent to which customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty in selected hospitals in Jos North Metropolis. The total populations of 456,568 customers of the selected
hospitals were used for the study. The study adopted survey method of research with the use of questionnaire to collect data from 400 sampled customers, out of which 360 were duly completed and retrieved. Simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study while Co-variance Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) was used in analyzing the data. From the results, hypothesis one, two and three were tested and it was found that there are significant relationship between service quality delivery
and customer loyalty, there is a significant relationship between service quality delivery and customer satisfaction, there is a significant relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty respectively. It was confirmed that customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between service quality delivery and customer loyalty. The study concluded that service quality delivery alone does not ensure
long term loyalty of customers but paying attention to customer satisfaction in any organization will further ensure effective customer loyalty. The study recommended that health service organizations should recognized that in the midst of competition, service quality delivery is necessary to sustain loyalty, but where quality is given and satisfaction is not sustained, the tendency of loyalty of such customer will be very low since customers are rational beings; therefore, the study further recommends that health organizations should build up the satisfaction level of their customers by improving on their services, this will go a long way in strengthening the relationship between service quality delivery and customer loyalty.

Idea against Others Ideas: Caligula – History of Supreme Suicide
Authors: Tsiklauri Khatuna
Published: February 2024

French writer Albert Camus (1913-1960) is known for the readers as wise but controversial writer who created novels, stories, plays, philosophical and literary essays. His early literary creations as well as his world out-look were prepared with the characteristics of European philosophic tra-ditions and literary development.Camus is one of the important representatives of French existential-ism though he was always objected being called an existentialist or even a philosopher: The former – possibly because that in the evolution of his viewpoints time after time he used to separate its chief statements; and the latter because he did not have the system of philosophical conception.Caligula is the History of Supreme Suicide. Caligula is the killer not by nature but by philosophic principles. He is paradoxical, he thinks that he is right but in fact he is wrong. Caligula refused to escape from genuine-ness and to hide behind illusions. Human beings’ attitude towards death is metaphysical, mysterious and inevitable. The fears of death, mysterious experience and human weakness are the components of Camus’ works. The death dominates over the life thus life becomes pointless. The beauti-ful world is just a glimpse.According to the existential philosophy, fear and death are the defini-tion of human life. Caligula cannot understand that it is impossible to destroy everything without self destruction. It is the most tragic, cruelest truth. The Emperor demands impossible thing. He tries to establish ab-normal freedom but he fails.
The Europeanization of Security and Turkey’s Membership of the European Union
Authors: Rousseau Richard
Published: February 2024

Europeanization is a relatively new concept, the roots of the idea of the Europeanization of security in Western Europe go back to the early days of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and became manifest after the demise of the USSR, which marked the end of the Cold War. Therefore, the process of European integration can also be seen as a Europeanization of the security culture of European Union (EU) member states. This Europeanization is a transition from the classical perception of security, based on state-centric high poli-tics (achieving security by military power), to a modern one, that is, giving priority to low politics (achieving security by non-military power, through economic and political integration). Hence, the Euro-peanization of security is actually a process of de-securitization which eliminates security and insecurity concerns from perception. However, non-military security problems and dynamics can also be present in that de-securitization.By contrast, the Turkish state’s security culture, which takes its roots from the founders of the Republic, gives priority to high - ra-ther than low - politics. The Turkish state’s elite are inclined to look at issues through the lenses of security or insecurity. This Turkish state outlook is a consequence of its securitization tradition in which security problems having no military element in their resolution are considered inferior in importance to military ones. Acknowledge-ment of the contradictory natures of the linear transition of Europe-anization of security in Western Europe and traditional Turkish se-curity perceptions is crucial in order to grasp one of the main under-lying reasons behind Turkey’s continuing exclusion from the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).

Authors: Jugheli Tamari
Published: February 2024

This research studies labor market outcomes in Georgia. The study concentrates on the effects of education on participation in the labor force, employment and salary level based on the Integrated Household Survey of Georgia for 2004-2009. Dprobit and OLS regression models are used for estimation. The key research findings are that education levels have a significant effect on the probability of an individual’s participation in the labor force and being hired. However, the returns on education and on potential experience are low. In addition to education level, gender and the region where an individual lives play an important role in determining labor market outcomes and returns on education.

Mujeres y migración: Perspectiva de género en las políticas migratorias del triángulo norte de Centroamérica
Authors: Cano-Blanco Andrea Jireth , Rocha-Castillo Alejandra Sofia
Published: February 2024

El presente estudio analiza la inclusión de la perspectiva de género para la protección de los Derechos Humanos de las mujeres migrantes en las políticas y disposiciones migratorias de los Estados del Triángulo Norte de Centroamérica. Esto como una necesidad suscitada a partir de la feminización de la migración y la violencia de género experimentada por las mujeres migrantes del Triángulo Norte de Centroamérica. Así, el presente trabajo responde a la sistematización y el análisis de 19 políticas y disposiciones migratorias de los Estados del Triángulo Norte. En cuanto a la metodología, se seleccionó el diseño documental; partiendo de un paradigma descriptivo e interpretativo. Como parte de los principales hallazgos, se encontró que, aunque parte de las políticas y disposiciones migratorias establecen al género como criterio orientador de las mismas; la mayoría recaen en la sobregeneralización de la problemática y la neutralidad de género. Asimismo, aunque algunas disposiciones reconocen la vulnerabilidad de las migrantes en sus principios y objetivo; este reconocimiento no es evidenciado en las estrategias para la atención y prevención de la violencia contralas migrantes. Siguiendo este orden de ideas, se concluyó que existe poca inclusión de la perspectiva de género en las disposiciones y políticas migratorias por parte de los Estados del Triángulo Norte de Centroamérica.
Hume y la justicia, concepciones comparativas sobre un análisis de la actualidad
Authors: Obiol Anaya Erik Francesc
Published: February 2024

Hume es uno de los filósofos más relevantes en la evolución de las concepciones del conocimiento humano, su perspectiva sirvió de semilla para florecer en el pensamiento de posteriores autores, a quienes inspiró y sirvió como guía. Esta investigación busca realizarun análisis sin ningún tipo de contaminación, de la que hasta la fecha, es considerada la obra cumbre de este autor, su "Tratado de la naturaleza humana", por ello se ha hecho un análisis a profundidad de la obra agenciándonos de la que tal vez es la primera versión comercial en español de este libro y aplicando un método inductivo-deductivo hemos podido extraer las ideas más relevantes en el pensamiento del autor y tratando de analizarlas en nuestro espacio tiempo, llegando a conclusiones bastante interesantes sobre como la filosofía de Hume, es tal vez la más adecuada para la aplicación en el pensamiento moderno, siendo hoy mucho más apropiada que en su tiempo; esto tal vez se debe a que la naturaleza humana percibe el conocimiento, pero no necesariamente percibe los principios éticos y morales dentro de él. Por ello, lo que busca el presente trabajo es determinar si el hombre, con respecto al derecho, se basa en un mero razonamiento o un actuar preestablecido, y dirigido por las emociones; y para ello, realizaremos un análisis de una de las obras más relevantes de la filosofía de Hume, su Tratado de la naturaleza humana.
Licencia de Generación: ¿una autorización justificada en el régimen jurídico del sector eléctrico nicaragüense?
Authors: Izaba Ruíz Carlos Ricardo
Published: February 2024

La Ley 272, Ley de la Industria Eléctrica, despublificó a la generación eléctrica, anteriormente reservada al Estado en su condición de servicio público, convirtiéndola en una actividad privada y, por tanto, sometiéndola a la dinámica del mercado. Sin embargo, para desarrollar la producción de electricidad, la Ley 272 contempla a la licencia de generación como autorización previa, que opera como una barrera de entrada al mercado de generación eléctrica. El presente artículo aborda el tema del régimen autorizatorio de la generación eléctrica, como actividad despublificada, en el contexto de la industria eléctrica, como industria de red, en que la libertad de empresa, iniciativa privada y libre competencia ya se encuentran con limitaciones objetivas, para plantear la necesidad de admitir solo aquellas autorizaciones que se ajustan a los principios de necesidad y proporcionalidad, con miras a que la Administración Pública pueda proteger los intereses generales a ella encomendados, a la vez que respeta la libertad de empresa e iniciativa privada,  necesarias para la creación de un mercado de generación competitivo. Recurriendo a la exposición de lineamientos doctrinales, así como del Derecho comparado de países como España, Guatemala y Chile, este artículo cuestiona la necesidad de la licencia de generación, y propone una reforma de lege ferenda que instituya una generación de electricidad libre. Para la investigación se ha hecho empleo principalmente del método sistémico por el que se sustenta la contradicción entre una generación despublificada y susujeción a la licencia de generación.

Authors: Nugroho Sandy , Setiadi De Rosal Ignatius Moses , Islam Hussain Md Mehedul
Published: February 2024

Driving in a straight line is one of the fundamental tasks for autonomous vehicles, but it can become complex and challenging, especially when dealing with high-speed highways and dense traffic conditions. This research aims to explore the Deep-Q Networking (DQN) model, which is one of the reinforcement learning (RL) methods, in a highway environment. DQN was chosen due to its proficiency in handling complex data through integrated neural network approximations, making it capable of addressing high-complexity environments. DQN simulations were conducted across four scenarios, allowing the agent to operate at speeds ranging from 60 to nearly 100 km/h. The simulations featured a variable number of vehicles/obstacles, ranging from 20 to 80, and each simulation had a duration of 40 seconds within the Highway-Env simulator. Based on the test results, the DQN method exhibited excellent performance, achieving the highest reward value in the first scenario, 35.6117 out of a maximum of 40, and a success rate of 90.075%.

ABSTRACT In May 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a joint standard, which is international financial reporting standard no.15 (IFRS 15), entitled “Revenue from contracts with customers.” This research aims to identify the new standard, illustrate the new recognition model, and determine the impact of measuring revenues following IFRS 15 on the quality of earnings. A quantitative research approach is used, and the absolute value of discretionary accruals and earnings aggressiveness are utilized as proxies for the quality of earnings. The research sample includes three Cambodian-listed companies with 24 firm-year observations over eight years from 2014 to 2021. The study reveals a statistically significant negative effect of the application of IFRS 15 on the quality of earnings of Cambodian-listed companies. The research represents an extension of the previous studies concerned with studying and analyzing the impact of IFRS 15 on the quality of financial statements. It also adds to these studies as there is a lack of quantitative evidence of this new standard’s economic effects after its application date. This study aids professional bodies in determining the impact of adopting international accounting standards on the quality of financial reports of companies in such emerging economies as Cambodia. Keywords: IFRS 15; Quality of earnings; Absolute value of discretionary accruals; Earnings aggressiveness; Cambodia
The Significance of Food in the Parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22:1-14 and the Kanyaw
Authors: Antonio Jr Fred F.
Published: February 2024

This study delves into the significance of food in Matthew 22:1-14, specifically exploring parallels between the Parable of the Wedding Feast and the Kanyaw festival of the Igorot people. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach, the researcher adopts a hermeneutical spiral methodology involving the sequential steps of “See, Discern, and Act.” The research emphasizes five key themes that draw parallels between the biblical parable and the indigenous festivity. Firstly, the study highlights the importance of the invitation in both contexts. Whether it is the divine call in the parable or the cultural invitation of the Kanyaw, there is a common thread in the significance of extending and receiving invitations. Second, the celebration emerges as a significant theme, suggesting shared elements between the joyous gatherings depicted in the biblical narrative and the cultural festivities of the Igorot people. The third theme revolves around the crucial role and preparation of food. This underscores the centrality of food in both the biblical narrative and the Kanyaw festival, shedding light on the cultural and spiritual dimensions associated with preparing and sharing meals. The fourth theme explores the responses of those invited, drawing parallels between the biblical account and participants' reactions in the Igorot celebration. Lastly, the study delves into the social implications of the feast in both contexts. By examining how the feast influences social dynamics and relationships, the research aims to offer an inculturated understanding of the feast in the parable's context. In essence, the study provides a nuanced exploration of the parallels between the biblical narrative and the indigenous festivity, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the cultural and spiritual dimensions of food and celebration in these contexts. Keywords: Parable, Kanyaw, festivity, Igorot, food, kosher, non-kosher, wedding feast, Jesus, Jewish, thanksgiving, ritual, garment, exegesis, mambunong, mankotom, fiesta.
Issues Of Development Of Professional Competence Of Future Builders-Engineers On The Basis Of Foreign Languages
Authors: Nabijonova Gulnoza
Published: February 2024

Today, students in higher education institutions of developed countries are taught using the latest techniques and technologies. Also, in order to develop the professional competence of future builders-engineers in the field of construction in our republic, it is becoming important to expand the opportunities for students to work with multimedia, graphic imagination, architectural graphic tasks-projects, design drawings of buildings and structures based on foreign languages. Education in foreign languages is an important factor in providing future builders-engineers with competitive staff, knowledge, skills and literacy in their specialty, and the justification of the demands placed on them is of great relevance.
Becoming Home: Revisiting Arne Naess toward an Ecophilosophy and a Depth Ecology for the 22nd Century
Authors: Haukeland Per Ingvar
Published: February 2024

This article is set in the context of a worsening ecological crisis, which is interpreted as an existential life crisis. The ecocrisis is not just about nature, but also a crisis of culture, community, and self. The prefix “eco” is interpreted in as “home in life”. To solve the crisis, we need a balanced focus on ecophilia and ecojustice. It is not enough to care, to solve the crisis we need to address issues of justice. Naess said he was optimistic on behalf of the 22nd century, but how bad it gets before it gets better depends on what we do today. In the article, I will revisit the life and works of Naess to explore what may inspire a sustainable and eco-friendly future. It will show there is a need to put “philo” back into ecosophy and to go deeper into the depths of deep ecology in a depth ecology movement. It will also address some issues, such as that of eco-animism and a renewed sense of the sacred.
Engaging with Nature in Times of Rapid Environmental Change: Vulnerability, Sentience, and Autonomy
Authors: Heyd Thomas
Published: February 2024

Increasingly rapid environmental changes since the middle of the 20th century pose a significant challenge for vulnerable human populations. North American Native people from the Northwest Coast, as many other indigenous populations around the globe, have conceived landscapes as sentient, and capable of responding to human action. The consequent “social responsibility” taken for landscape is explored in the context of vulnerability to rapid environmental change. The basis for respect that underlies this sense of responsibility, and its significance for addressing human vulnerability to nature’s agency, through more adequate practices of mitigation and adaptation, is discussed. It is concluded that we face an imperative to reconceive the agency of natural phenomena.
Patrones sociolingüísticos de pronunciación en la ciudad de Granada: variación sociofonética del ceceo
Authors: Waluch de la Torre Edyta
Published: February 2024

El objetivo del presente artículo es proponer un modelo del análisis lingüístico multivariable capaz de explicar la pronunciación de la consonante /s/ en la variedad granadina del español con especial enfoque en el fenómeno del ceceo. Basándonos en las investigaciones realizadas hasta ahora, pretendemos ampliar el estudio sobre la pronunciación de la consonante /s/ en el contexto diatópico de la ciudad de Granada, completando los datos sociales e incorporando variables lingüísticas y estilísticas, a través de análisis bivariables y multivariables. Los datos analizados proceden del corpus PRESEEA-Granada (Moya Corral 2007, 2009, 2010). Los resultados sugieren que son significativas las variables sociales de sexo, generación y nivel de formación (el ceceo es más característico de los hombres, personas de segunda y tercera generación y de personas con nivel de educación primario o secundario), así como la variable lingüística de priming (se produce la asimilación a soluciones vernáculas precedentes) y la variable estilística de fase de la interacción (la menor formalidad del final de la entrevista es el contexto más propicio para el ceceo). No obstante, también se revela como importante el efecto aleatorio de la variable informante, lo que indica que se trata de un fenómeno complejo y que requiere un análisis detallado.
Atributos únicos de la imagen de destino turístico: análisis cualitativo en español de la serie “Destinos” de Turespaña

Published: February 2024

El turismo es un ámbito de práctica social cuya situación global de comunicación genera actos específicos de comunicación oral y escrita. El discurso promocional turístico que se formula en este contexto se manifiesta, entre otros, en textos orientados a la incitación al consumo en torno a una imagen de destino turístico. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo principal definir los atributos únicos de destinos españoles promocionados en la serie de folletos turísticos “Destinos” del Instituto de Turismo de España (Turespaña). El método de investigación consiste en el análisis cualitativo de los textos turísticos promocionales que integran el corpus de documentos de trabajo mediante la herramienta informática Nvivo. Para la extracción de atributos, se establecen parámetros metodológicos con el propósito de definir unidades léxico-semánticas de valor atributivo. Asimismo, en el marco de esta investigación, se proponen denominaciones (atributo único, común, bruto y áureo) que contribuyen al metalenguaje de la materia. El análisis refl eja que los resultados son dispares entre los diferentes destinos en frecuencia de aparición, categoría conceptual, posición y valor. Se establece una clasificación del valor de los atributos únicos definidos según cada destino y se concluye que la cuestión atributiva de la imagen de destino turístico que Turespaña proyecta se reitera en tópicos de los destinos analizados, lo cual presume un carácter conservador en la comunicación promocional de este organismo.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a major cell entry receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The induction of ACE2 expression may serve as a strategy by SARS-CoV-2 to facilitate its propagation. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ACE2 expression after viral infection remain largely unknown. Using 45 different luciferase reporters, the transcription factors SP1 and HNF4α were found to positively and negatively regulate ACE2 expression, respectively, at the transcriptional level in human lung epithelial cells (HPAEpiCs). SARS-CoV-2 infection increased the transcriptional activity of SP1 while inhibiting that of HNF4α. The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, activated by SARS-CoV-2 infection, served as a crucial regulatory node, inducing ACE2 expression by enhancing SP1 phosphorylation—a marker of its activity—and reducing the nuclear localization of HNF4α. However, colchicine treatment inhibited the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby suppressing ACE2 expression. In Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) infected with SARS-CoV-2, inhibition of SP1 by either mithramycin A or colchicine resulted in reduced viral replication and tissue injury. In summary, our study uncovers a novel function of SP1 in the regulation of ACE2 expression and identifies SP1 as a potential target to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection.
