Published: January 2023

This article explores the subject of computer vision systems – a technology that allows vehicles to identify, track, and also classify objects on the roadway. The objectives of the study are to consider the principle of operation of these automated systems, their advantages in comparison with modern road regulation, as well as the problems of implementation and development of these systems. The research was carried out on the basis of the analysis of information from open information resources. The statistics of accidents at work are presented, the high rates of which are due to large volumes of production and an outdated system for monitoring compliance with safety rules and the availability of personal protective equipment for employees. The scheme of interaction of the components of a computer vision system is considered, which will allow monitoring of events occurring in production during operation, monitoring the situation at the enterprise for the occurrence of a potentially dangerous situation for personnel and equipment, and, accordingly, this system will be able to prevent an emergency, as well as avoid personal injury by reacting even to minor deviations from operating parameters. The research was carried out on the basis of the study and analysis of materials published in open information sources.

Published: January 2023

Digital transformations are continuously changing how people live, work and function in their societies. These applications of technology can be noticed in education, transportation, data storage, communications and healthcare, among other fields. The development and use of digital technologies is also impacting how governments operate and function. Digital transformation, including artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, has become one of the highest priorities for public organisations. For instance, governments are increasingly trying to digitize their services through technology because of growing public expectations. But today, some governments are asked to do more: to create an enabling environment in which green, inclusive, equitable digital transformation strengthens democratic societies and economies. Several studies have indeed revealed critical digital competencies gaps in the public sector, including in the Global South. It is therefore extremely important to identify and address those digital transformation gaps and to succeed in the public sector, as a catalyst of change for societies and economies in digital age. While there is a growing literature on the types of digital competencies that public sector officials need, there is an unmet need to develop comprehensive digital competency frameworks that can: clearly identify the internal challenges a government faces in its digital transformation journey; propose specific competencies that can address those challenges, and: take into account some specificities of the Global South. The AI and Digital Transformation Competency Framework unpacks the major AI and digital transformation competencies needed in the public sector. The framework aims to provide guidance not just for civil servants, but for international organisations and regional and national actors to support capacity development. Each Competency Domain is structured around three Proficiency Levels: Basic, Medium and Advanced, and includes an ‘AI-specific level’ that aims to identify and unpack the major AI elements.

Synergistic Combinatorial Strategy for Combating Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Clinical Bacteria by Combining Antibiotics with Plant Extracts
Authors: Gideon Mathew , Ladan Zakari
Published: January 2023

Bacteria resistance to antibiotics used for the treatment of infections and diseases is of global concern. Medicinal plants have been used as the primary sources of plants' active ingredients or lead compounds in drug development. The combination of various antimicrobial agents to obtain a synergistic effect is considered an ideal strategy for combating bacteria resistance. In this work, a constant repetitive synergy in all combinations was achieved by adding 0.3 mL of concentrated tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid, H2SO4 in a mixture of Calotropis procera extract separately with (a) 1 mg/mL Amoxicillin, (b) 1 mg/mL Ampicillin, (c) 100 µg/mL Azithromycin and (d) 100 µg/mL Ampicillin and were heated at 110 °C for 20 minutes. Higher zones of inhibitions were observed at 16.7 mm for Salmonella  spp, 16.4 mm for Shigella spp, 16.8 mm for Staphylococcus aureus, 21.3 mm for Escherichia coli and 22.4 mm for Streptococcus spp in situations where the antibiotics alone zone of inhibition was 0 mm at the same concentration of a, b, c, and d. These increase the regular probability model of obtaining synergism in plant extracts combination with antibiotics as shown by multiple literatures from 33% to 66% at antibiotic concentration of 100 µg/mL and 100% at antibiotic concentration of 1 mg/mL. The validation process using Piliostigma reticulatum extract shows that a volume of 0.1 mL of concentrated tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid in 2 mL of the mixture was enough to induce synergism to combat bacteria resistance. This work shows a cost-effective method where the antimicrobial activity of ineffective antibiotics can be enhanced and optimized using plant extracts. It can also be explored and applied in different ways to identify novel compounds, and isolate and purify their active principles for selectivity, efficacy, safety and their development as clinical trial candidates in antiviral and anticancer research to overcome enormous health challenges.

Authors: Majzoub Rawan Al , Hamdan Sandra Abou , Khaled Sanaa , Khatib Sami El , Krayem Maha
Published: January 2023

Production of biscuits from composite flour (wheat/sorghum) was investigated. The use of this composite flour is increasing due to its nutritional properties that make the product highly desirable and acceptable. Sorghum is the 5th most important cereal worldwide. Sorghum is malted to increase its hydrolytic enzymes through steeping, germination, kilning and roasting. The concentration of sorghum flour added to wheat flour is a concern. In order to better understand the functional properties of sorghum-wheat composite flour, this review was carried out. Sorghum grain was ground into flour and substituted for wheat flour in a variety of amounts. Biscuits produced from 30% sorghum flour is shown to be the best concentration in terms of quality, acceptability and sensory properties. The maximum sensory overall acceptability scores were found for biscuits prepared from substitution levels (20-40%). Consumption of these biscuits will enhance the nutrient intake of people, especially children and enhance the utilization of sorghum in developing countries.

Published: January 2023

This paper investigates an original concept of electro-geometrical analysis of flexible microstrip antenna. The research work is focused on the analysis of the innovative effect of “V”- shape folding on the resonance frequency and input impedance of microstrip patch antenna. The V-folded antenna is assumed to behave as an arm constituted by horizontal and tilted members which are geometrically characterized by the folding angle, a. The folding is characterized by the angle between the horizontal plane and the folded part of the patch antenna printed on a Kapton flexible substrate. The initially flat-configured planar antenna was designed to operate at about 2.45 GHz. The innovative design method of the V-shape folded flexible antenna is explained. Full wave electromagnetic simulations of different geometrical states of the flexible antenna were performed in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 5 GHz. Exceptional results of tilted surface radiating part of flexible patch antenna were found with a positive folding angle from amin=0° to amax=45°. It was understood for the first time in the area of antenna engineering that the resonance frequency is fluctuating according to typical sine damping in the function of the V-folding angle variation. The folded angle effect, which has never been understood before is discussed. In addition to the angle effect, the input resistance and input reactance of the V-folded flexible patch antenna is also plotted.

Nurses’ emergency response effortsto COVID-19 are divided into four, namely prevention capabilities, psychological readiness, infection controland emergency rescue capabilities. The purpose of this study was to analyzing factors influencing nurses’emergency response with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at the Aceh Regional General Hospital. This typeof research is quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The research sample based on the inclusionand exclusion criteria was 89 respondents. Data analysis used univariate (descriptive statistics), bivariate (chisquare) and multivariate (logistic regression) methods. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that thevariable preventive ability (P-value 0.000) and emergency rescue capability (P-value 0.000) that were related toemergency response efforts against COVID-19. The results of the multivariate analysis found that emergencyrescue capabilities were the most related factor to emergency response efforts (OR: 14,072). Based on the resultsof the study, the most significant determinant of nurses’ emergency response efforts to COVID-19 is the ability torescue in the form of nurses’ attitudes and actions in providing nursing care. Emergency rescue capabilities canbreak the chain of transmission of the COVID-19 virus and provide nursing care to patients who are confirmedpositive for COVID-19.

Published: January 2023

This study examined the model of the relationship between achievement goals, engagement, and Self-handicapping (SH). The study was conducted with 850 students who filled out a self-report questionnaire as respondents. After the measuring instrument was declared valid and reliable, the two relationship models were tested using a structural equation modeling (SEM) with a two-step approach. The test results suggested that the objectives of mastery of the material and improvement of skills must be achieved for increasing student engagement and preventing SH in learning activities. Students who are afraid of appearing incapable did behavioral SH and reduced their attachment to learning activities. The goal of showing off achievements and excelling from their peers did not make students use SH strategies but only emotionally engaged. Claimed Self-handicapping (CSH) increased engagement and vice versa, while behavioral Self-handicapping (BSH) decreased engagement and vice versa.

Published: January 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar a desigualdade entre homens e mulheres na ocorrência e na intensidade da depressão, e verificar se existe associação entre esses indicadores e a ocupação dos indivíduos. Para tal, foram utilizados os dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS). O indicador de depressão foi construído com base no Patient health questionnaire, por meio da teoria de resposta ao item (TRI). Em seguida, caracterizou-se a distribuição do indicador, utilizando-se o método de distribuição relativa. A associação entre a ocorrência e a intensidade da depressão e a ocupação foi estimada com uso do modelo de duas partes. Os resultados revelam que, embora as ocupações não estejam relacionadas à probabilidade de ocorrência da depressão, elas estão associadas à sua intensidade, para os indivíduos com algum nível de depressão. Ocupações mais qualificadas estão positivamente relacionadas com a intensidade da depressão, sobretudo para os homens.
Trabalho análogo ao de escravo : disputa do conceito e políticas públicas de enfrentamento no Brasil
Authors: Silva Marileide Alves da , Costa Laise Stefany Santos
Published: January 2023

O trabalho análogo ao de escravo é uma realidade mundial. Na esfera internacional, o combate a tal prática está previsto em convenções e tratados internacionais editados por organizações como a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) e a Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT). No Brasil, o Código Penal (CP) tipifica como crime a conduta de redução à condição análoga à de escravo. Não obstante a sua harmonia com os tratados e diplomas internacionais, o conceito vigente no país sofre constantes ataques. O objetivo deste artigo consiste na análise da disputa em torno do conceito de trabalho análogo ao escravo, evidenciando os principais interesses e agentes envolvidos nessa disputa. Mediante revisão da literatura e dos conceitos estabelecidos por órgãos oficiais, em conjunto com a análise dos resultados da aplicação das políticas públicas, propõe-se demonstrar como a tipificação do crime não deve estar restrita apenas à coerção direta, mas inclusa nos fundamentos da dignidade da pessoa humana e do princípio de valorização social do trabalho. O presente estudo refuta ainda a concepção difundida sobre a capacidade de mitigar o trabalho análogo ao escravo via mercado de trabalho.

We present a comparative study of active galactic nuclei (AGN) between galaxy pairs and isolated galaxies with the final data release of the MaNGA integral field spectroscopic survey. We build a sample of 391 kinematic galaxy pairs within the footprint of the survey and select AGN using the survey's spectra. We use the comoving volume densities of the AGN samples to quantify the effects that tidal interactions have on the triggering of nuclear accretion. Our hypothesis is that the pair sample contains AGN that are triggered by not only stochastic accretion but also tidally induced accretion and correlated accretion. With the level of stochastically triggered AGN fixed by the control sample, we model the strength of tidally induced accretion and correlated accretion as a function of projected separation (r

p
) and compare the model expectations with the observed volume densities of dual AGN and offset AGN (single AGN in a pair). At r

p
∼ 10 kpc, we find that tidal interactions induce ∼30% more AGN than stochastic fueling and cause ∼12% of the offset AGN to become dual AGN because of correlations. The strength of both these effects decreases with increasing r

p
. We also find that the [O iii] luminosities of the AGN in galaxy pairs are consistent with those found in isolated galaxies, likely because stochastically fed AGN dominate even among close pairs. Our results illustrate that while we can detect tidally induced effects statistically, it is challenging to separate tidally induced AGN and stochastically triggered AGN in interacting galaxies.

Published: January 2023

Background:

Internationally, interprofessional simulation (IPS) training increasingly is being included in nursing curricula. This systematic review examined the elements of IPS training that prepare nursing students for clinical practice.

Method:

Five databases (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL], ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were searched for articles published from 2000 through 2020. Search terms included interprofessional, interdisciplinary, collaboration, collaborative care, teamwork, undergraduate nursing, and simulation. Thematic analysis of included studies was conducted using Braun and Clarke's (
2006
) six-phase approach.

Results:

Twenty-one studies were included. Five key themes emerged: (1) foster safe learning spaces, (2) realism matters, (3) effective debriefing is essential, (4) communication and teamwork increase patient safety, and (5) learning about scopes of practice and roles enables better care.

Conclusion:

IPS training provides nursing students with learning opportunities that can fundamentally shape their capacity to work effectively in interprofessional and multi-disciplinary settings.

Reliability inference and remaining useful life prediction for the doubly accelerated degradation model based on Wiener process
Authors: Jiang Peihua , Yang Xilong
Published: January 2023

Degradation data are an important source of products' reliability information. Though stochastic degradation models have been widely used for fitting degradation data, there is a lack of efficient and accurate methods to get their confidence intervals, especially in small sample cases. In this paper, based on the Wiener process, a doubly accelerated degradation test model is proposed, in which both the drift and diffusion parameters are affected by the stress level. The point estimates of model parameters are derived by constructing a regression model. Furthermore, based on the point estimates of model parameters, the interval estimation procedures are developed for the proposed model by constructing generalized pivotal quantities. First, the generalized confidence intervals of model parameters are developed. Second, based on the generalized pivotal quantities of model parameters, using the substitution method the generalized confidence intervals for some interesting quantities, such as the degradation rate $ \mu_0 $, the diffusion parameter $ \sigma_0^2 $, the reliability function $ R(t_0) $ and the mean lifetime $ E(T) $, are obtained. In addition, the generalized prediction intervals for degradation amount $ X_0(t) $ and remaining useful life at the normal use stress level are also developed. Extensive simulations are conducted to investigate the performances of the proposed generalized confidence intervals in terms of coverage percentage and average interval length. Finally, a real data set is given to illustrate the proposed model.

Service scheduling optimization for multiple tower cranes considering the interval time of the cross-tasks

The key issues that have always affected the production yield of the construction industry are delays and cost overruns, especially when dealing with large-scale projects and super-high buildings in which multiple tower cranes with overlapping areas are often deployed because of urgent due date and limited space. The service scheduling of tower cranes, which act as the crucial site equipment for lifting and transporting materials, is one of the main problems not only related to the construction progress and project cost but also affecting equipment health, and it may bring security risks. The current work presents a multi-objective optimization model for a multiple tower cranes service scheduling problem (MCSSP) with overlapping areas while achieving maximum interval time of cross-tasks and minimum makespan. For the solving procedure, NSGA-Ⅱ is employed with double-layer chromosome coding and simultaneous coevolutionary strategy design, which can obtain a satisfactory solution through effectively allocating tasks within overlapping areas to each crane and then prioritizing all the assigned tasks. The makespan was minimized, and stable operation of tower cranes without collision was achieved by maximizing the cross-tasks interval time. A case study of the megaproject Daxing International Airport in China has been conducted to evaluate the proposed model and algorithm. The computational results illustrated the Pareto front and its non-dominant relationship. The Pareto optimal solution outperforms the results of the single objective classical genetic algorithm in terms of overall performance of makespan and interval time of cross-tasks. It also can be seen that significant improvement in the time interval of cross-tasks can be achieved at the cost of a tiny increase in makespan, which means effective avoidance of the tower cranes entering the overlapping area at the same time. This can help eliminate collision, interference and frequent start-up and braking of tower cranes, leading to safe, stable and efficient operation on the construction site.
Termination as an incentive device
Authors: Grochulski Borys , Zhang Yuzhe
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we study the conditions under which termination is a useful incentive device in the canonical dynamic principal‐agent moral hazard model of Sannikov (2008). We find that temporary suspension of the agent after poor performance dominates termination if the principal's outside option is low and the agent's outside option is moderate. In suspension, the agent performs tasks free of moral hazard and receives no compensation, which rebuilds his “skin in the game” and allows for incentives to be restored without terminating. If the agent's outside option is low, suspension is ineffective because it rebuilds the agent's skin in the game too slowly. If the agent's outside option is high, the profitability of the relationship with the agent is low, so the principal prefers to terminate rather than extend the relationship through temporary suspension. Because the optimal use of suspension versus termination after poor performance can be highly sensitive to the principal's and agent's outside options, similar jobs can have vastly different average job durations, purely for incentive reasons.

Optimal persuasion via bi‐pooling

Published: January 2023

Mean‐preserving contractions are critical for studying Bayesian models of information design. We introduce the class of
bi‐pooling policies, and the class of
bi‐pooling distributions as their induced distributions over posteriors. We show that every extreme point in the set of all mean‐preserving contractions of any given prior over an interval takes the form of a bi‐pooling distribution. By implication, every Bayesian persuasion problem with an interval state space admits an optimal bi‐pooling distribution as a solution, and conversely, for every bi‐pooling distribution, there is a Bayesian persuasion problem for which that distribution is the
unique solution.
Lessons Learned

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) serve racially, ethnically, economically, and academically diverse populations of students. The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, a professional master's degree program at one HBCU, has positioned itself to attract highly experienced mid-career professionals, recent college graduates with little experience, those with lots of relevant coursework, and others with very little exposure to the basics. This necessarily requires careful consideration of learning objectives and the methods used to reach them. This chapter highlights the ways in which intentional construction of learning objectives, formal and informal assessment, and closing the loop by correcting findings have enhanced this MPA program as part of a continuous improvement model. A sampling of these experiences will be shared in this chapter as well as some key takeaways for administrators of similarly oriented programs.
Holding Space and Grace

A student's life is mentally demanding and time-consuming for any learner. U.S. culture values hard work, no excuses mantras, and discipline to achieve a graduate degree or the next promotion, and often it is a badge of honor to be overcommitted, stressed out, and exhausted. As mental and physical health issues arise, the implementation of a health and wellness statement for graduate students was utilized to open the proverbial door to hold space and grace for life's challenges and empower learners in an inclusive setting.
Behavior of Low Height Embankment Under Earthquake Loading

Published: January 2023

Low height embankments are widely used as road embankments for highways and rural roads in India. Sometimes, the construction of such types of embankments on soft foundation soil becomes mandatory. In addition to the problematic soft foundation soil, seismic excitation might also play a significant role in the stability of such an embankment. The present study analyses the response of a low height embankment with soft foundation soil under earthquake loading. Numerical simulations have been performed using FLAC2D program. A stiffer half-space with higher shear wave velocity (Vs) has been considered below the soft foundation soil and the earthquake loading has been applied at the bottom of this stiffer half-space. Simulation has been performed considering two different thicknesses of soft foundation soil. In addition to that, three different levels of earthquake shaking and Vs of the stiffer half-space have been considered in the analysis. Results have been presented in the form of PGA amplification, excess pore water pressure, horizontal, vertical static/seismic displacement, etc.
Sex Differences in Thermal Tolerance of Nine Ornamental Fish Species from the Poecilidae, Cichlidae and Cyprinidae Family

Thermal tolerance and intersexual differences of nine ornamental fish species (Chindango demosoni, Aulonocara stuartgranti, Mylandia lombardoi; Cichlidae; Carassius auratus, Pethia conchonius, Branchydanio rerio; Cyprinidae; Xiphophorus helleri, X. maculatus, Poecilia reticulate; Poecilidae) were determined in this study. CT-min of the species ranged between 9.63 and 11.37 in poecilids, 11.29 and 12.53 in cichlids, 4.67 and 8.46°C in cyprinids, while CT-max ranged between 39.12 and 40.53 in poecilids, 37.82 and 39.37 in cichlids, 36.12 and 40.30°C in cyprinids. While intersexual differences in the CT-min/CT-max values were not evident in cichlids and cyprinids, these values significantly differed across poecilids. The females of poecilids were approximately 0.5 to 1°C more resistant to both low and high temperatures than their males. Among the species included in our study, due to their resistance to low temperature, especially C. auratus and a lesser extent B. rerio and P. conchonius were considered the most suitable ones for outdoor aquaculture in subtropical regions. However, if they are cultured outside of their natural distribution, it should be noted that upon escapement from aquaculture facilities to nature, they may interfere with the ecosystem and compete with native species there due to their wide range of thermal tolerance.
