Published: November 2024

Removing the outer part of bamboo for manufacturing flat bamboo lamination has disadvantage on the density of the product. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the fixation of compressed bamboo from curved cross-section slats. The compression of bamboo slats using densification technique was aimed for uniform density. Furthermore, steam treatments were conducted to fix the deformation. The compressed bamboo slats revealed that the density of the samples at the bottom parts increased from 0.4–0.56 g/cm3 to 0.89–1.05 g/cm3 after pressing with a compression level between 46.98–63.97%, while the samples in the middle parts increased from 0.7–0.83 g/cm3 to 1.02–1.18 g/cm3 with the compression level of 32.92–41.5%. These results were slightly higher than that of the upper parts, which was between 0.91–0.98 g/cm3. The recovery of set decreased and the weight loss increased with increasing temperature and steam treatment time. Fixation of compressive deformation could be achieved at 160°C within 60 minutes. The bottom parts of samples experienced a slightly greater weight loss compared to the middle parts, i.e. 8.38% and 7.49%, respectively. The anatomical structure of bamboo tended to deform during densification process. Furthermore, the steam treatments affected the colour of densified bamboo which became darker. From this experiment, it can be concluded that the manufacture of laminated bamboo from bamboo slats can be uniformed in strength by equalizing the density at the bottom and middle with the upper parts through the densification technique.

Published: November 2024

This study explores the incorporation of AI-driven production technologies within modular architecture, with an emphasis on optimizing design processes and facilitating practical application. By leveraging text-to-image technology via the Runway AI platform, a range of geometric moduls -including rhombic dodecahedra, cubes, hexagonal prisms, truncated octahedra, and triangular prisms-were utilized as prompts to generate architectural designs. The generated designs were subsequently assessed against established modular architecture criteria, with particular attention given to their structural integrity and construction feasibility. The AI-generated outputs exhibited notable versatility, yielding designs that met both structural and architectural standards. This methodological approach presents a new set of tools for architects, enabling them to explore intricate geometric forms while enhancing the efficiency of conceptual and design stages. The results indicate that the integration of AI-driven techniques into modular architecture has considerable potential to drive innovation, offering a more streamlined process for achieving creative and functional design outcomes. Moreover, the application of AI in this context not only expedites the generation of forms but also expands architects' capabilities in producing a wider array of high-quality architectural solutions.

The Effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation on SMEs’ Performance: Market Orientation as a Mediating Variable
Authors: Kassim Yissa Hassen
Published: November 2024

The study investigated the effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) dimensions and performance: Market Orientation (MO) as a mediating role in the case of SMEs in Amhara Regional State of Ethiopia. A Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was employed to analyze and test hypothesis. The result indicates that the direct effect of autonomy, innovativeness, Proactiveness & competitive aggressiveness dimensions of EO are significant. In addition, MO partially mediates autonomy, innovativeness, Proactiveness and competitive aggressiveness dimensions of EO and SMEs’ performance linkages. Therefore, with MO, EO dimensions will give superior SMEs’ performance.  However, risk taking has no significant effect on the SMEs performance as well as risk taking -performance relationship was not found to be mediated by MO. Thus, the higher SMEs are entrepreneurially oriented, the more they are willing to be market oriented that intern positively affects the performance of SMEs. The findings reveal owner/managers of SMEs needs to be more entrepreneurially oriented to create a well-built MO environment that enables them intensively competitive in the fast-changing market environment and to improve their performance. This study contributes to the almost wholly overlooked research about east African SMEs’ strategic orientation and performance linkages. Therefore, the study can provide an opportunity to expand the research on other sectors such as construction, agriculture, hotel & tourism and trade business enterprises.

The profit-to-loss ratio on the stock market trade has also been on the lower side. The difficulties in the stock market have been unpredictable, thus upsetting the interests of the investors. This study compares the movement of the Indian stock markets (Sensex and Nifty) with six other major Asian stock markets (Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan) and tries to find the relationship between them. This study is done to check whether the movement of the major Asian stock markets is a predictor of the movement of the Indian stock markets. Statistical tools such as ordinary least squares, the Granger co-integration test, and a correlation matrix are used in this study to calculate the relationships. The result of this study will be helpful for stock market investors, particularly the short-term traders (intra-day traders) on the BSE and NSE.
The Predictive Power of Capital Asset Pricing Model and Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model in Nigeria
Authors: Aderounmu Busayo , Oni Olubusayo
Published: November 2024

The examination of the predictive power of CAPM and CCAPM in determining risk premium in Nigeria between 1999-2014 shows that CAPM is statistically significant for all equities although the coefficient is relatively high. However, CCAPM was statistically not significant for all equities listed though the results was meaningful. This is in line with the findings of Mankiw and Shapiro (1986), Chen (2003) and Idolor (2012) where the authors’ findings did not support CCAPM but concluded that the superiority of CAPM is a puzzle. In conclusion Capital Asset Pricing Model produced a more meaningful and statistically significant result in predicting equity premium in Nigeria than Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model.

Driver’s behavour is more complex when they are using the road. There are no universal guidelines for such behavour. The research studied the effect of gender on driver behavour in road traffic crashes in Lagos State. For data collection, a cross sectional research design was adopted. The data used in this study were collected from drivers in Lagos state through the use of a Driver Behavour Questionnaire (DBQ) and Driver Skill Inventory (DSI), Survey between February, 2021 and March, 2022. Three thousand seven hundred (3,700) questionnaires were administered and 3,270 questionnaires were retrieved. The data generated were analysed using Chi-square tests, student ‘t’ test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the mann-whitney ‘U’ test statistics. These techniques were used to test the differences between male and female drivers on the driver behaviour (DBQ) and driver skill inventory (DSI) items. The study revealed that more than half of the studied drivers in Lagos State (66%) were men whereas (44%) were women. Also among the studied drivers, young drivers of the age group below 30 years (37.2%) were involved in accident crashes with a higher risk of involving in an accident. The analyses also showed that women reported a higher number of violations, and lapses. However, no significant association was found between male and female drivers in terms of errors. The results also showed that six (6) items of violations, three (3) items of lapses and three (3) items of error had significant association among male drivers as compared to female drivers in Lagos State. Based on the findings preventive measures are suggested to reduce the road accident crashes such as training and retraining of drivers, driver education, enforcement, seatbelts, speed limits etc.

Authors: Ting Frederic Ivan , Ting Ma. Katrina Domenica R.
Published: November 2024

As the academe in health professions institutions pursue educational reforms that anchors on the systems approach to healthcare, collaborative efforts are essential to establish more responsive and dynamic professional education systems. This paper highlights comparative education as a tool to strengthen health professions education around the world by reviewing previous and the most recent studies done, and showcase how this can improve the current pedagogical landscape. Through comparative education, a holistic approach to health professions education ensures that the learner’s training is not only comprehensive but also responsive to the dynamic needs of the country, the region, and the rest of the world by the sharing of best practices, challenges, and opportunities for collaboration. The opportunities that international comparative education provide to the health professions education include the sharing of best practices and difficulties encountered, and the enhanced viewpoint from considering different perspectives. On the other hand, the main challenges include ethnocentrism and the limited resources that majority of institutions face globally especially those from the low- and middle-income countries. Truly, once the lessons learned from comparative educational engagements are integrated into the philosophical and educational foundations in our medical schools, then we are one step closer to becoming responsive to the call for a more holistic and systems – centered health professions education.

Assessing the possibility of using entomopathogenic fungi for mosquito control in Hawaii
Authors: Jiang Yijia , Chan Yvonne L
Published: November 2024

Currently, the Hawaiian government uses chemical pesticides and Bti, a bacterial agent applied to larval pools, for mosquito control. These methods can pose a threat to the environment and be expensive. Additionally, mosquitoes usually develop a resistance toward these pesticides. An alternative agent for mosquito control is entomopathogenic fungi, which can kill or disable insects while they are non-pathogenic to plants and mammals. The purpose of this research is to investigate the use of entomopathogenic fungi as a more sustainable mosquito-control method. We isolated Metarhizium anisopliae from local soil samples in Honolulu, Hawaii. We hypothesized that this entomopathogenic fungus from Hawaii would effectively kill Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae. We tested the fungus on the larvae of C. quinquefasciatus at concentrations of 1 x 104 and 1 x 105 conidia/mL. We found that the more concentrated fungal solution was more virulent to the larvae. Hence, this entomopathogenic fungus may offer a sustainable approach to mosquito control.

Published: November 2024

La mayoría de las empresas sin importar el giro al que se dediquen recurren alguna vez al financiamiento externo, el cual tiene un costo que son los intereses    que cobra la banca comercial por el otorgamiento de créditos.
Una empresa recurre al financiamiento externo principalmente para inversión. En otras ocasiones es para desarrollar el proceso productivo donde se vuelve un costo de financiamiento de la producción y se verá reflejado en el precio de venta a cliente final.
En el presente artículo se realizó una revisión de la literatura para poder identificar y analizar las opciones de financiamiento interno que existen para empresas que se dedican a la exportación de Nuez Pecana.
Se obtuvo información sistemática de diferentes artículos científicos, revistas financieras y fiscales, libros de finanzas y de la legislación actual vigente, así como además entrevistas realizadas con personas expertas en la materia de créditos y financiamiento. La búsqueda arrojo 40 registros con temas de estructura financiera óptima para las empresas, financiamiento interno y externo y la creación de empresas en México permitidas para el financiamiento.
Con la información obtenida, se encontró que es posible para un corporativo de empresas crear una entidad propia por medio del cual se administren los flujos de efectivo de tal manera que no se tenga que recurrir a los altos costos de financiamiento de la banca privada, y se elimine o reduzca el costo del producto final, ya que no tendría adicionado este costo de financiamiento.
En conclusión, la literatura deja ver que es posible la creación de empresas de financiamiento interno, que permita tener un proceso operacional de menor costo, al sanear las finanzas de estas, la legislación lo permite y existe la figura Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Múltiple (SOFOM) que permite obtener ventajas fiscales en apoyo al financiamiento para las empresas.

En este contexto, para determinar si la percepción, la memoria y la inteligencia influyen en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes de una Institución de Educación Superior-IES se requiere del diseño y validación de un instrumento de medición tipo cuestionario que permita recuperar información sobre los temas de interés.
Se encontró que la literatura relaciona estos 3 conceptos con la variable aprendizaje; el proceso de búsqueda y selección de literatura académica sobre el objeto de estudio incluye trabajos de congresos, revistas, informes de investigación publicados desde el 2015 hasta el 2022, los criterios que se manejaron en las publicaciones de estos conceptos en ausencia de correspondencia con un tipo de bibliografía académica.
Los resultados coinciden en que existe relación de las 3 variables con el tema de interés-aprendizaje de los estudiantes de una IES, por lo que es necesario profundizar en la integración de un modelo de análisis para definir acciones estratégicas para la indagación de estos conceptos en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes.
Es una línea que permitiría contrastar experiencias y opiniones, y distinguir valores para trabajar estratégicamente en una institución, según las contingencias de cada IES.

El objetivo de este artículo es realizar una revisión de literatura acerca del marketing digital y su influencia en el incremento de las ventas de las Pequeñas y   Medianas Empresas (PYMES) de México. Durante el desarrollo del presente se analizarán las herramientas más eficaces en una estrategia de marketing que la empresa puede aplicar para a alcanzar sus objetivos, captar la atención de sus clientes potenciales e incrementar o iniciar ventas por transacciones que se realicen a través de medios electrónicos o inclusive posicionar su marca en diferentes lugares geográficos. La importancia que tiene para la empresa que lo aplica, así como todos los elementos de atracción y alcance de los diferentes tipos de mercados potenciales, según el tipo de comercio electrónico que la empresa vaya a establecer ya sea B2B, B2C, C2C o C2B. El reto que representa para las PYMES aplicarlo y explorar cada una de las áreas de oportunidad que ofrece para promoción y venta de los productos o servicios que la empresa pone a disposición de los consumidores. Así mismo se expone en el desarrollo de este artículo un estudio donde se presenta las tendencias y el comportamiento desde los horarios preferidos de conexión y las horas que es más común que un internauta se encuentre activo y listo para apreciar la campaña de marketing que la PYME haya puesto en la web. Dando esto como resultado que se incrementen las ventas de las empresas que deciden llevarlo a cabo en su campaña. Como primer paso la empresa siempre trata de atraer visitantes al sitio con diseños de contenidos atractivos que permita a cada internauta valorar la información recibida y en determinado momento cuando éste se encuentre listo se realice la venta.

En este trabajo se aplicó el Sistema Mahalanobis-Taguchi (MTS) a la base de datos sobre cáncer de mama en el Hospital de la Universidad de Wisconsin, ubicada en Madison, la cual está a cargo del Dr. William H. Wolberg. La metodología de Mahalanobis mide las distancias en los sistemas multivariables, tomando en consideración la correlación existente entre las variables analizadas. Por otra parte, este sistema también es aplicado para hacer predicciones mediante una escala de medición multivariable. El propósito de este estudio, es determinar las variables significantes para identificar las diferencias de un grupo a otro, y así calcular la distancia Mahalanobis (DT) entre dos grupos de pacientes: el primero, con tumores cancerosos (grupo no saludable), y el segundo grupo diagnosticado como saludable.

JavaScript ha ganado una gran relevancia en el desarrollo web gracias a su capacidad para crear aplicaciones interactivas y dinámicas. Sin embargo, el desarrollo en JavaScript puro puede ser complejo, lo que ha impulsado el uso de frameworks para simplificar y agilizar el proceso. Este estudio se centra en comparar tres de los frameworks de JavaScript más populares: Vue.js, React.js y Angular, con el objetivo de identificar cuál ofrece una eficiencia de desempeño. Aunque la norma ISO 25010 evalúa múltiples características de calidad, en este análisis se pone especial atención en la eficiencia de desempeño, dejando otros aspectos fuera del alcance del estudio para evitar confusiones. La metodología empleada incluyó el desarrollo de una aplicación web de facturación, donde se evaluaron métricas clave de rendimiento, como el tiempo de respuesta y la velocidad de transferencia de datos, utilizando la herramienta Apache JMeter. Se implementaron casos de prueba y se recopilaron datos cuantitativos, permitiendo un análisis exhaustivo de las fortalezas y limitaciones de cada framework. Los resultados muestran que React.js tuvo el mejor desempeño en términos de tiempo de respuesta, destacándose en la eficiencia al ejecutar la acción "agregar". Por su parte, Vue.js mostró un rendimiento sobresaliente en la velocidad de transferencia de datos, superando a los otros frameworks en este aspecto. Esta comparativa proporciona a los desarrolladores una base sólida para elegir el framework adecuado según las necesidades de rendimiento de sus proyectos web

En diversas aplicaciones, desde sistemas de control industrial hasta juegos en línea y streaming de video, la comunicación en tiempo real ha ido ganando cada vez más importancia. Sin embargo, el envío de datos en tiempo real a través de redes presentó desafíos debido a la variabilidad en el ancho de banda y la latencia. Se llevó a cabo un estudio en el Departamento de Tecnologías de la Información de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador con el objetivo de mejorar las comunicaciones de sus aplicaciones de backend. En la actualidad, estas aplicaciones utilizan diferentes tipos de protocolos de comunicación, pero no habían logrado solucionar la problemática de la comunicación en tiempo real. En el estudio, se analizaron distintos protocolos de comunicación mediante un chat en linea para determinar cuál sería el más adecuado para una arquitectura de backend escalable. Los protocolos de comunicación que se evaluaron fueron: Long polling, WebSockets y Server-Sent Events. Los resultados mostraron que WebSockets era el protocolo de comunicación más adecuado para una arquitectura de backend escalable. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones importantes para el desarrollo de aplicaciones web. Al utilizar WebSockets, se espera que pueda mejorar la calidad de sus aplicaciones web y proporcionar a los usuarios una experiencia más fluida e interactiva. El estudio demostró que WebSockets era el protocolo de comunicación más adecuado para una arquitectura de backend escalable. Esto se debe a que WebSockets proporciona una conexión bidireccional entre el cliente y el servidor, permitiendo que los datos se envíen en tiempo real sin tener que recargar la página

El proceso de automatización del Servicio Sismológico Nacional de Cuba, se ha convertido en una tarea de primer orden para el país. Lo anterior se justifica, con el objetivo de lograr ganar en efectividad y eficiencia en la detección y localización de sismos en el territorio nacional, de ahí la importancia de esta investigación. El objetivo fue el diseño e implementación de una red neuronal artificial, para determinar de manera automática el azimut de un terremoto al realizar su localización con una estación sismológica de tres componentes. Se consideró para el desarrollo de la investigación un enfoque cuantitativo. Las señales se tomaron de la estación sismológica, Río Carpintero. La investigación se abordó como un problema de regresión múltiple y se propuso un modelo de Red Convolucional 1D. Se empleó Python como lenguaje de programación. Para la adquisición y pre procesamiento de las señales sísmicas se utilizó la herramienta de código abierto basado en Python: Obspy. El modelo de red neuronal se implementó utilizando los marcos de desarrollo para aprendizaje de máquinas Keras y Tensor flow. Se utilizaron en total 49233 señales de terremotos, de ellas 39386 para el entrenamiento y 9847 para la validación. La red diseñada e implementada fue capaz de determinar automáticamente el azimut de un terremoto con una efectividad del 90 %, evidenciado en los valores del coeficiente de determinación R2. Las pruebas y validaciones realizadas indicaron la posibilidad de extender la metodología y el uso de la herramienta computacional a otras estaciones sismológicas de Cuba
