Ride-Hailing Assignment Problem under Waiting Time Uncertainty using Interval-Valued Fuzzy Quadratic
Authors: Supian Sudradjat , Subiyanto Subiyanto , Megantara Tubagus Robbi , Bon Abdul Talib
Published: December 2023

Ride-hailing is a creative idea created by transportation supported by science and technology. Ride-hailing services can help daily community activities. The issue with ride-hailing is that traffic conditions are unpredictable, implying that waiting times are uncertain. The time passengers spend waiting from when they book a ride service until the driver arrives at the pick-up location is called waiting time. This study suggests a quadratic programming technique for minimizing waiting time while accounting for the unpredictability of pick-up travel time. The interval-valued fuzzy quadratic programming method handles the uncertainty and imprecision of the anticipated journey time. When allocating drivers to pick up passengers, interval-valued fuzzy numbers can provide a more realistic representation of waiting time uncertainty. As a result, the interval-valued fuzzy quadratic programming model can handle the uncertainty in waiting time for ride-hailing assignment problems. The model's performance is evaluated using waiting time and the number of people served. The model's performance is demonstrated numerically using the simulation-based case study. This study shows how to utilize a mathematical method to solve real-world problems with uncertainty and improve user welfare.

Published: December 2023

This scientific text explores the healthcare systems, cultural factors, and health challenges in the Republic of India and Argentina. It begins by emphasizing the importance of understanding how disease is perceived and experienced differently by individuals due to cultural and socioeconomic factors. It highlights that people's definitions of health and illness influence their healthcare-seeking behavior. The text provides insights into India's complex social and economic landscape, characterized by significant diversity in language, religion, and caste. Despite its economic growth, India faces challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, and gender inequality. These factors contribute to a high burden of noncommunicable diseases, respiratory infections, and other health issues. The healthcare system in India is described as a mix of public and private providers, with access to quality care often determined by one's economic status. Comparatively, the Argentine healthcare system is discussed, which includes public, private, and prepaid sectors. Argentina's constitution guarantees access to healthcare as a fundamental right, and public expenditure on health is used to provide free coverage with easy access for the population. The text concludes by emphasizing the importance of addressing health disparities and improving healthcare access, particularly for vulnerable populations. It underscores the role of nursing professionals in providing culturally sensitive care and facilitating effective communication to enhance patient outcomes

To understand the dynamics of epidemics, it is crucial to evaluate prior exposure to infectious diseases as a possible defense against newly developing strains. The cross-protection prediction is unresolved matter that holds great importance, particularly in the field of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV). The new methods for controlling FMD involve the implementation of vaccine, limited movement, containment and elimination of cattle that are either affected or vulnerable to the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to use a serological analysis strategy that applies association coefficients (r1-values) to identify effective vaccines. The primary objective of this study was aimed to explain the genetic homologous and heterologous association among two ancestries of FMDV serotype O found in Pakistan (Pk) and to find a suitable strain from field for selection of vaccinated seed that provide cross-protection against both ancestries. Virus neutralization tests (VNTs) were used to evaluate an antigenic association among the two groups of viruses, indicates a significant degree of antigenic similarity between stains within a particular cluster. Conversely, r1 values ranging from 0.07-0.2 were obtained from cross-combinations among clusters, suggesting antigenic variation amongst virus strains. These results were further supported by in vitro tests, which showed that heterologous combinations of PanAsia-II and PAK-98 isolates showed antigenic variation, except for 25-06-PK-19, SDG-43-FSD-PK, and TANWL-34PK, which showed a 0.3 (r1 value). In contrast, when considering homologous combination of strains from both lineages showed antigenic similarity. Furthermore, it was projected that these combinations would provide protective titers during in-vivo. As a conclusion, it is recommended that all strains, except 25-06-PK-19, SDG-43-FSD-PK, and TANWL-34PK considered as potential vaccine candidates for effectively managing outbreaks of FMDV serotype-O, due to their ability to confer broad-spectrum immunity.

¿Qué interés pueden tener los archivos para la investigación contemporánea, más allá del que puedan despertar entre los historiadores de las ciencias? En parte, para contestar esta pregunta, en el año 2019 dos de las autoras de este trabajo decidieron organizar un proyecto sobre este tema: SciCoMove (Colecciones científicas en movimiento), iniciado en 2021. El objetivo de este ensayo consiste en presentar algunos de sus resultados, en particular, sobre el trabajo y los archivos perdidos de los arqueólogos argentinos Bernardo Dougherty (1941- 1997) y Horacio Calandra, ambos del Museo de La Plata, quienes en la década de 1980 realizaron excavaciones en el Beni, Bolivia, de las que no sobrevive prácticamente nada: los tiestos obtenidos en ese trabajo fueron triturados para pavimentar caminos. En este caso, el trabajo de archivo demuestra cómo puede dar nueva vida a una colección destruida, suministrando alguno de los datos que, con ella, se perdieron.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this research is to analyze the performance of the Katobu police intersection in Raha City and examine the comparison of the level of service at the intersection when it does not use a traffic light compared to the presence of a traffic light. The data collection stage, namely by calculating the volume of vehicles passing through the Katobu Police Station intersection, was carried out for 1 day without a traffic light and 3 days with a traffic light to determine the amount of flow and then recording the geometric data of the Katobu Police Station intersection for input data requirements in the 1997 MKJI calculation. Based on the results of research at the Katobu Police intersection, it was found that the performance of the Katobu Police intersection seen from the peak hour volume without a traffic light on Friday at 15.45 - 16-45 WITA was 2657 pcu/hour, while the peak hour volume with the presence of a traffic light was on Monday at 07.45 – 08.45 WITA amounting to 1616 pcu/hour. The degree of saturation without traffic lights on the North approach is 1.26 and the South approach is 1.32, the East approach is 1.03 and the West approach is 0.94. Meanwhile, the degree of saturation with traffic lights on the North approach is 0.55 and the South approach is 0.52, the East approach is 0.82 and the West approach is 0.64. According to MKJI (1997), from the value of the degree of saturation without a traffic light, the intersection condition is still very bad and unstable, whereas with the presence of a traffic light, the intersection condition is quite stable. The level of service obtained at the Katobu Police intersection without a traffic light is classified as service level "F", while with the presence of a traffic light it is categorized as service level "C", so it can be concluded that the condition of the Katobu Police intersection with a traffic light is getting better.

Authors: Akkulak Özlem , Kul Ertuğrul
Published: December 2023

This study was conducted to determine the effects of the dam’s milk yield and composition on birth weight, 6-month, and 12-month live weight (LW) of Anatolian buffalo calves born in 2017 and 2018 years in Çorum province, Türkiye. Calving age had a significant impact on daily milk yield (DMY) (P=0.031), lactation milk yield (LMY) (P=0.048) and solids-not-fat (SNF) (P=0.034). DMY (P=0.022) and fat content (P=0.005) were affacted by calving season. Suckling period and calf sex had no significant impact (P>0.05) on DMY, LMY, fat content, and solids-not-fat (SNF) (P>0.05). The dam’s calving age had a significant impact on birth weight (P=0.029), except for 6-month and 12-month live weight (LW). Calving season affected 6-month (P=0.002) and 12-month LW (P=0.012) without birth weight. The suckling period and calf sex were not significantly affected on the birth weight, 6-month, and 12-month LWs (P>0.05).
The highest 6-month LW (P=0.025) was determined in the calves of high DMY buffaloes (>6.50 kg). The DMY of the dam had no effect on the birth weight and 12-month LWs (P>0.05). The calves of buffaloes with the highest LMY (>1300 kg) were observed the highest birth weight (P=0.040) and 6-month LW (P=0.046). The dam’s fat and SNF content had no effect on the birth weight, 6-month, and 12-month LWs. To conclude; “higher milk yield resulted in higher birth weight” means that better dams give better calves, suggesting that buffalo keepers should feed buffalo cows sufficiently to get heavier calves at least.

Authors: Singh Gyan Dev , Gattani Anil , Kumar Ajeet , Kumar Anil
Published: December 2023

The minor surgical intervention and safe restraining requires sedation and analgesia especially in furious animals like buffaloes which can be achieved by using proper combination of sedative and analgesic drugs. The combination of xylazine with opioids is an effective way to achieve sedation and analgesia in cattle and horses. Six apparently healthy buffaloes having minor wounds were included in the present study. The sedation was accomplished by fentanyl (5 µg per kg b.wt) plus xylazine (0.05 mg per kg b.wt) intravenously. Physiological, hematobiochemical and electrocardiographic parameters were observed at different time interval after the administration of drugs. Following the administration of medicine, there was a significant reduction in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, hemoglobin, and packed cell volume. Respiration rate increased significantly at 30 minutes interval. PR interval and QT interval increased significantly at 20 minutes and 15 minutes respectively of the observation period, whereas a significant increase in the duration of ST segment was noticed from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. The present study revealed that the drug combination has no deleterious effects on cardiopulmonary, hematobiochemical and physiological parameters during the observation period.

Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of studying the karyotype of the Ukrainian buffalo population. With the help of routine and GTG methods of analysis of metaphase plates of chromosomes, it was established that in the studied animals the diploid chromosome set was equal to fifty chromosomes (2n=50), which consisted of 5 pairs of meta- and submetacentric and 19 pairs of acrocentric autosomes and one pair (XX) or (XY) sex chromosomes. The total number of chromosome arms (FN) was 60, which correspond to animals of the water buffalo species (Bubalus bubalis), a subspecies of the river buffalo (B. b. Bubalis). Cytogenetic control revealed wide intraspecies limits of spontaneous somatic mutagenesis: absence of constitutive chromosomal disorders; the frequency of metaphases with aneuploidy, the average value (M±m) of which was equal to 10.5±0.13%, polyploidy (M±m=0.7±0.25%), asynchronous separation of the centromeric regions of chromosomes - (M±m=5.3±2.00), chromosomal breaks (M±m=0.7±0.24%), the proportion of cells with micronuclei (M±m=2.5±0.39‰), binucleated cells (M±m=2.6±0.32‰) and mitotic index (M±m=4.8±0.65‰). It has been established that Ukrainian river buffaloes are characterized by high karyotype stability.

Otherness in Arundhati Roy’s “The Ministry of Utmost Happiness”
Authors: Babar Urooj , Ahmed Shehryar
Published: December 2023

This research delves into an examination of the marginalization process by closely analyzing Arundhati Roy's work, "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness." The objective is to uncover how Roy employs her artistic prowess to bridge the gap between marginalized segments and the mainstream, thereby attempting to rejuvenate the former glory of the Indian societal framework. Through the lens of oriental discourse, this study scrutinizes the novel, particularly emphasizing the strategic foothold achieved within the established system through acts of rebellious creativity, unconventional thinking, and alternative lifestyles. This study elucidates the intricate interconnections among the novel's multi-layered narratives, which lay bare the harsh realities of society, such as the dire circumstances faced by minority groups, the degrading existence of transgender individuals, the lackluster state of governance, the struggles of Naxalites, instances of rape, murder, social inequality, and preconceived biases. In "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness," Arundhati Roy explores societal categorization through the lens of “Otherness”. Characters like Anjum embody the challenges faced by those deviating from societal norms, particularly in terms of transgender identity. The narrative extends this exploration to figures like Musaa and Talio, engaged in the Kashmiri conflict, highlighting a political form of “Otherness”. The central aim of this research is to identify and delve into India's marginalized "Others," encompassing the impoverished, those deemed as "apostates," outsiders, and third-gender individuals, who are often subjected to subjugation or victimization. This study focuses on the theory surrounding the analysis of orientalist discourse and focuses on the “Otherness” of the novel‘s main character Aunjum or Aftab who rejoice in their wretched condition and the survival creativity of these “Other” in their conditions of acute Precarity.

Published: December 2023

The present study has explored socioeconomic determinants of sports performance among the world's countries. The countries' sports performance has been measured using the total number of gold, silver, and bronze medals. The weights of gold, silver, and bronze medals have been assigned 4, 2, and 1, respectively. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, health, education, and population determine sports performance. The education and health index proposed by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has been used as a proxy for education and health. The influence of regions was captured by using dummy variables. Balanced panel data of 113 countries that participated in all Olympic events from 1972 to 2022 with four-year intervals have been used. However, a separate empirical analysis has been made for 80 countries that attained at least one gold, silver, or bronze medal from 1972 to 2022. Three econometric models have been estimated for each case by applying a fixed and random effect approach. Hausman test has been applied to identify the appropriation of fixed effect and random effect models. Using descriptive statistics, we have found that GDP per capita, education, health, and population are positively and significantly associated with sports performance. Results of dummy variables indicate that the European region has better sports performance than Asia, Australia, America, and Africa. Improvement in GDP per capita, education, and health has been suggested as a strategy to improve sports performance.

A significant component of economic growth is the enlightenment of the economy. Corruption slows down economic growth. Human civilization is influenced by corruption, a relic of an ancient occurrence in all countries worldwide. Economic growth is negatively affected by corruption. In the presence of poor institutions, corruption slows the flow of FDI. In this analysis, FDI and institutions are studied using panel data. Drisc and Kraay and. fixed effects techniques are used to determine nexus. The analysis is carried out for 53 developing countries from 2005 to 2022. The results indicate that corruption hinders economic growth, whereas the inflow of FDI boosts economic growth. Results show that economic growth decreases due to weak political and economic institutions in developing countries. This suggests that countries should invest in developing strong economic and political institutions to benefit from FDI. Also, countries should focus on reducing corruption to encourage economic growth. Governments should also create incentives to attract FDI, such as lower taxes, improved infrastructure, and relaxed labor regulations. Finally, countries should put in place measures to protect FDI from political interference and instability.
Assessment of control during movement, fine motor skills/handwriting, and gross motor control in children with developmental coordination disorder using the DCD-Q
Authors: Suresh J , Subash S
Published: December 2023

Motor coordination and control are affected by Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), particularly in children. As a result, they are unable to write, tie shoelaces, or participate in sports, affecting their social interactions and quality of life. Considering the poor short-term and long-term outcomes observed in children with DCD, awareness of this condition may increase, prompting more research. Among 99 children with DCD, a six-week intervention was performed in both control and intervention groups. In addition to the DCD-Q questionnaire, parents completed a fine motor/handwriting and gross motor control questionnaire. An ANOVA test was used to analyze all values as mean ± SD. The results showed that both groups improved in motor coordination and control. DCD-related motor difficulties can be addressed more effectively with early intervention in all three domains, especially fine motor control. The control group’s motor control scores increased from 17.9 ± 0.6 at baseline to 21.5 ± 0.5 by the sixth week, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.009. Alternatively, the intervention group’s scores improved from 19.6 ± 0.5 at baseline to 22.4 ± 0.5 at the sixth week, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.007. With regards to fine motor control, the control group’s scores improved from 13.4 ± 1.08 at baseline to 16.4 ± 0.6 at the sixth week, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.01. With regards to fine motor control, the intervention group’s scores improved from 14.5 ± 0.3 at baseline to 20.3 ± 1.4 at the sixth week, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.004. As for gross motor control, the control group’s score increased from 16.6 ± 1.05 at baseline to 20.2 ± 1.0 at the sixth week, showing high statistical significance with a p-value of <0.0001. The intervention group’s scores improved from 18.7 ± 0.5 at baseline to 21.5 ± 0.7 at the sixth week, also demonstrating statistical significance with a p-value of 0.002. Overall, this study highlights the potential benefits of tailored interventions in enhancing motor skills and overall quality of life for children with DCD.

Introduction. In February 2022, remote learning ended in Poland. This was associated with an increase in physical activity for children, including participation in physical education lessons as well as spontaneous games and play during breaks, and also the commute to and from school. The introduction of remote learning significantly limited the opportunity for children to build healthy habits in the form of leading as active a lifestyle as possible.
Aim of the study. (1) Assesing of the possibility of using the short version of the IPAQ questionnaire to assess the level of physical activity among children aged 7–15. (2) Assessing the current level of physical activity among children aged 7–15 and the degree of compliance with WHO recommendations.
Material and methods. A pilot study was conducted in the form of an anonymous online survey, based on the shortened version of the IPAQ questionnaire, on a group of 30 randomly selected children.
Results. (1) The short version of the IPAQ questionnaire allowed for an easy and precise calculation of the level of physical activity in the studied group. (2) The studied group did not achieve the minimum level of physical activity recommended by the WHO.
Conclusions. (1) The short version of the IPAQ questionnaire can be used to assess the level of physical activity among children after introducing changes to the qualification criteria with reference to WHO recommendations. (2) There is a need for education promoting health behaviors associated with engaging in physical activity.
