Automatic Text Analysis of Reflective Essays to Quantify the Impact of the Modification of a Mechanical Engineering Course
Authors: Narendranath Aneet Dharmavaram
Published: January 2024

Students’ reflective essays in engineering education provide insight and context for instructional modification and assessment. However, the assessment of reflective essays numbering in thousands can be time-consuming. This is notably important when trying to find specific changes in focus from one essay to another and measuring how strong those changes are across multiple corpora of essays.In this paper we describe and demonstrate an automated text analysis method for the at-scale, corpus-normalized analysis of reflective essays. We apply it to quantitatively measure whether the modification of an undergraduate mechanical engineering course had the conjectured impact of a stronger emphasis on teamwork.Our analytical method is a “pipeline” composed of Text Mining (TM), Natural LanguageProcessing (NLP), and Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA). We use this method to measure the presence of a specific thematic element in reflective essays to confirm the impact of the modification of a team-driven, model-based engineering design course. The original course and its modification were visualized using Sandoval’s conjecture mapping framework.The novel innovation of this approach is that the input (text from hundreds of reflective essays, sourced one at a time) when passed through this pipeline quickly produces a quantitative indication of the presence of thematic elements and their recurrence normalized across a corpus of hundreds of essays. A comparison of this quantitative indicator across separate corpora (each corpus of essays is for a different year) of reflective essays signaled a change in student focus toward the conjectured outcome.We conclude that the TM-NLP-RQA pipeline can be applied for quick and at-scale extraction ofthe relative magnitude of thematic statements from reflective essays. We observe that ourconjectured redesign had the impact that we desired
THE ROLE OF SOCIAL NORMS IN TAX COMPLIANCE BEHAVIOUR OF SMES IN EMERGING ECONOMIES LIKE UGANDA
Authors: Tusubira Festo Nyende
Published: January 2024

Taxpayers have different motivations for paying taxes. How successfully taxpayers comply with the tax system will depend on the social standing of the taxpayers and the ability of the tax authority to impose the legal requirements for such a system. We have had minimal corporate tax revenue contributions to the overall tax revenue in Uganda, especially from small and medium corporations over the past decade and relatively little attention has been directed towards understanding what the challenge could be. Could corporate tax compliance behaviour be determined by the power dimensions or social psychological stance, and in which magnitude? Evidence has cast doubt on the ability of power dimensions to effectively influence tax compliance behaviour, suggesting that social norms may be an influential tool in determining tax compliance behaviour. Combining descriptive and analytical research design and utilising a structural equation model, the study helps to provide answers to these questions using social norms theory and the slippery slope framework. Descriptive norms generally have significant direct effects on tax compliance behaviour.
BUSINESS INCOME TAX COMPLIANCE BEHAVIOR AMONG SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS
Authors: Bidin Zainol , Abd Weheed Noor Siti Aminah
Published: January 2024

Malaysian government has consistently supported Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by ensuring that they are resilient and growing. The 2021 Budget represents the largest allocation to date that benefits SMEs, totalling RM38.7 billion as incentives to SMEs for sustaining their businesses. Hence, SMEs have an obligation to support the government by voluntarily and accurately paying their taxes. However, this group of taxpayers appears to be at a high risk of engaging in tax evasion and believes that paying taxes is a burden. Thus, this paper aims to focus on sole proprietorship, the small-scale sector known to be tough when it comes to paying taxes. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between five independent variables; attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control (probability of audit and licensed tax agent), and the dependent variable; intention to comply. The research framework of this study was developed based on five variables and employed the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) The questionnaires were distributed to taxpayers in Penang. A total of 135 samples were collected from taxpayers through simple random sampling techniques. According to the analysis, TPB is relevant to this study because it helps to explain how taxpayers behave to be aware of and obedient to tax. If taxpayers have strong intentions and beliefs, they will obey the tax. Taxpayers also think about the effects of their actions before acting in a particular way. Surprisingly, the findings ruled out the validity of audit probability in tax intention behaviour. This study contributes to the current literature by adding a new variable of the licensed tax agent to the tax compliance model. Hence, the suggestion for future research is to increase the sample size so that future research can generalise the whole population and come out with a stronger regression model.

Authors: IOSIF Adrian , MAICAN Edmond , BIRIȘ Sorin , POPA Lucretia
Published: January 2024

Quality assessment of apples is a pivotal task in the agriculture and food industries, with direct implications for economic gains and consumer satisfaction. Traditional methods, whether manual, mechanical or electromechanical, face challenges in terms of labor intensity, speed, and quality control. This paper introduces a solution using machine learning algorithms – specifically, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) – for a more nuanced and efficient apple quality assessment. Our approach offers a balance between the high-speed capabilities of electromechanical sorting and the detailed recognition achievable with human evaluation. A dataset consisting of over 2000 apple images, labeled as 'Good' or 'Damaged', was compiled for training and validation purposes. The paper investigates various architectures and hyperparameter settings for several CNN models to optimize performance metrics, such as accuracy, precision, and recall. Preliminary evaluations indicate that the MobileNet and Inception models yield the highest levels of accuracy, emphasizing the potential of machine learning algorithms to significantly enhance apple quality assessment processes. Such improvements can lead to greater efficiency, reduced labor costs, and more rigorous quality control measures.
Infierno y sexualidad en Jean Paul Sartre. Una reinterpretación ontológica
Authors: Gonzalez Soto Alberto
Published: January 2024

El tema de la sexualidad es controversial en los debates públicos donde es difícil aceptar o dar algo por sentado. En los análisis filosóficos estas cuestiones se han planteado con escaso interés, relegándose más bien a debates culturales, sociales o antropológicos. En el presente trabajo se revisa la breve ontología de la sexualidad que elabora Jean Paul Sartre en su obra El ser y la nada; es un tema acotado a sus reflexiones en torno a las relaciones primigenias con el prójimo. De acuerdo con la relectura que se hizo en otro trabajo sobre el problema de las relaciones interpersonales en el pensamiento de Sartre, se busca reinterpretar el tema de la sexualidad, más allá de los límites sadomasoquistas, y sentar algunas referencias para discutir la cuestión sobre fundamentos ontológicos. Los resultados conducen a comprender la sexualidad como una condición pre-ontológica de estar-ante el otro, un requisito para que sean posibles los tres elementos ontológicos del ser humano: el en-sí, de base corporal biológico; el para-sí, como fundamento de la identidad humana; y el para-otro, arraigado en la interacción interpersonal. Asimismo, se identificó que estas estructuras fundamentales se inscriben en el contexto formativo del ser-con.
Investigating electrical properties and crystal growth in NiO thin films by spray pyrolysis and electrostatic spray deposition
Authors: Tomono Keisuke , Sugiyama Mutsumi
Published: January 2024

The control of the electrical properties and the growth mechanism of the NiO films were investigated by Li addition using the spray pyrolysis method. In addition, to enhance the uniformity and flatness of the NiO films, the electric field applied spray pyrolysis named electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) process was applied. Experimental results suggest that a certain amount of Li acts as an interstitial on the Ni sites in the NiO film and enhances crystal growth. Moreover, excessive Li additions resulted in Li segregation into NiO crystal defects, whereas the resistivity decreases and the promotion of crystal growth was not inhibited regardless of the presence of Li on the NiO film up to a Li concentration of 10 at.%. Furthermore, ESD was confirmed to deposit highly flat NiO films. These results represent the initial step toward the practical application of visible-light-transparent devices using spray deposition.

This manual process has proven to be time-consuming and demands considerable human resources, potentially disrupting other retail operations. The design of an inventory information system for checking expired dates was initiated due to the weaknesses of the manual system. The research objective is to create a prototype inventory information system that employs a coloring method within a specific time range, ensuring increased effectiveness and efficiency in managing expired dates.
Aplikasi Mobile Augmented Reality untuk Pengenalan Tata Surya sebagai Media Pembelajaran
Authors: Roy Aspin William , Wulandari Sri
Published: January 2024

Along with the rapid development of technology from year to year, more and more learning methods are being created to support the teaching and learning process. Learning media in the form of solar system learning aids still use print media, video tutorials, and teaching aids and are still relatively simple, in which the teacher is more dominant in explaining and explaining, and students only listen and listen to the teacher's explanation. Another reason is the limited use of solar system props. On the other hand, there is the latest technology that can be developed into learning media. The application of Augmented reality in solar system learning media aims to provide innovative learning methods that are believed to create interesting learning for students because they are packaged as attractively as possible using 3D image displays, which make the appearance of objects look more real so that this can encourage student learning interest.
Graph Contrastive Learning for Anomaly Detection and Personalized Alerting in Sensor-based Remote Monitoring for Dementia Care
Authors: Bijlani Nivedita , Maldonado Oscar Mendez , Nilforooshan Ramin , Group CR&T , Barnaghi Payam , Kouchaki Samaneh
Published: January 2024

Sensor-based remote health monitoring can be used for prompt detection
of adverse health in people living with dementia in the home. Current
anomaly detection approaches are challenged by noisy data, unreliable
event annotation and wide variability in home settings. We hypothesized
that a downturn in health would present as a discernible shift in
spatiotemporal patterns, which can be identified by monitoring the
temporal evolution of the household movement graph. We present a
lightweight contrastive learning approach to detect adverse events using
home activity changes, along with household-personalized alerting
thresholds based on the clinician-set target alert rate. Our
self-supervised Graph Barlow Twins model with aggregation-based node
feature masking is used to generate daily activity representations in
participant households taken from a real-world dataset collected by the
UK Dementia Research Institute. Daily graph differences represent the
anomaly score, which are compared to the householdpersonalized
threshold, and alerts raised to the clinical monitoring team. Attention
weights from the graph encoder support explainability and help focus on
the source of anomaly. Our model outperforms state-of-the-art temporal
graph algorithms in detecting agitation and fall events for three
distinct patient cohorts, with 81% average recall and 88%
generalizability at a target alert rate of 7%. To the best of our
knowledge, we offer the first use case of negative sample-free graph
contrastive learning for anomaly detection in a healthcare setting that
is domain-agnostic and can be applied to wider IoT settings.
The Placement of Satellites in SpaceX's Starlink Mission Play an Important Role in its Fast Internet Speed
Authors: Thota Ishanth , Thota Naga
Published: January 2024

SpaceX’s Starlink mission is a well known mission all around the world
for its goal of providing a high-speed network with low-latency, to
remote areas all around the Earth. As of November of 2023, there are
5,420 Starlink satellites in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO), which is around
200-1600 Km above the Earth. To be more precise, it orbits at exactly
550 Km above sea level, reducing the overall latency. In this study, we
studied the patterns in the formation and placement of SpaceX’s Starlink
satellites so as to get an understanding of the reason behind it. We
hypothesized that the Starlink satellites are going to be placed along
the latitudinal planes of the Earth in order to maintain a precise and
organized network of satellites. And since the gravitational field in
the poles is more, we also hypothesized that there might not be as many
satellites in the poles as there are in the equator and tropics.
Supporting our hypothesis, we found out that there were not a lot of
satellites near the poles, one of the reasons being gravity.

Authors: BENAMER Lamya Nawal , BENAMROUCHE Nabila , BENYAHIA Radia
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) is rare and may be associated with evisceration of the small bowel. It’s a rare life-threatening condition that is usually seen in postmenopausal women with past history of gynecological surgery. Presentation of Case: A 55-year-old woman presented with sudden-onset abdominal pain and protrusion of a mass through the vagina without triggering factor after two years of a reconstructive prolapse surgery. Physical examination revealed small bowel in the vagina. Laparotomy was performed and the vagina closed. post-op wall sepsis has been controlled. Discussion: Less than 200 cases of VCD have been reported. Most often this event this event occurs acutely; sometimes a triggering factor is found, the most important risk factor being a history of total hysterectomy. Diagnosis is easy Immediate surgery is necessary to reduce the risk of intestinal ischemia and necrosis. Conclusion: VCD must be suspected in any woman with surgical history of total hysterectomy presenting with sudden-onset abdominal/ pelvic pain or swelling. Emergency surgery is necessary to avoid complications which can be serious.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal (ECA) is a rare nosological entity, it is characterized by the invasion of squamous tissue in an area of the external auditory canal (EAC), generally in the posteroinferior region, which is accompanied by bone erosion [1]. Clinical case: 30-year-old female patient with no known pathological history who presented with a 7-day history of clinical symptoms characterized by left ear otalgia associated with foul-smelling otorrhea and temperature rises at the beginning of the condition, receiving antibiotic treatment with amoxicillin (for 7 days). Without improvement, later it is associated with intense headache at the occipital level, nausea, vomiting and dizziness. Discussion: The percentage of men and women is similar in adulthood. The most frequent location is posteroinferior and in most cases the origin is primary. Otalgia and otorrhea were the main symptoms. In general, treatment is conservative, but a surgical approach was necessary in a third of patients through analoplasty or mastoidectomy, depending on the extent of the lesions [2]. Conclusion: Although we do not know the pathogenic mechanisms responsible for the formation and development of CCAE, the inclusion of keratin between the epithelium and the bone, with the participation of the periosteum, seem to be the triggers of the process. The diagnosis is clinical and its extent determines the use of local or surgical treatment, which is usually resolving [4].

The study explores Twitter Sentiment Analysis (TSA) using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand societal views, trends, and feelings. The research involves data collection, pre-processing, feature extraction, sentiment analysis, model construction, and visualization. The data is then processed to address issues like extraneous characters, capitalization, and data errors. Sentiment analysis categorizes tweets into positive and negative. The NLP algorithm is central to sentiment classification, and the paper builds, trains, and assesses various machine learning models. Word clouds depict sentiment distribution, identify frequently occurring phrases, and emphasize sentiment trends over time. Potential roadblocks include data quality issues, careful algorithm selection, and model dependability. The sentiment analysis model demonstrated good accuracy and a balanced F1-score, demonstrating its competency in sentiment categorization. The study contributes to the emerging discipline of sentiment analysis by demonstrating how valuable insights can be extracted from massive amounts of social media data.
Peculiarities of the weed infestation of young paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa L.) stands
Authors: Nychkaliuk H.
Published: January 2024

Goal. To study the weeding processes of young Paulownia tomentosa (Paulownia tomentosa L.) plantations for the further development of an effective weed protection system in the conditions of the Forest Steppe of Ukraine.

Methods. To study the interaction of research objects with weather conditions, cultivation methods and technology, field methods (in particular, small-plot), as well as visual, measuring, weight, quantitative and physiological methods were used. The laboratory method was used to determine the quality characteristics of the soil of the experimental plots. Processing of experimental data was performed using the Microsoft Office Excel computer program.

Results. It was established that young stands of paulownia in the first stages of vegetation are actually a free ecological niche, which is quickly filled by weeds. The largest number of weed species was from the Gramineae, Brassicaceae, and Asteraceae families. There was one species each from the Polygonaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Solanaceae, and Convolvulaceae families. In the second year of vegetation, the seedlings of Echinochloa crusgalli (L. Pal. Beauv), Chenopodium album L., Elymus repens (L.) Gould, Setaria glauca (L.) Pal. Beauv, Sinapis arvensis L., Polygonum convolvulus L., Thlaspi arvense L. On average, more weed seedlings were recorded during the accounting period than in the first year of crop vegetation.

Conclusions. It has been experimentally proven that before establishing the plantations, the site should be evaluated for the presence of problematic weed species that can potentially multiply in paulownia plantations and interfere with effective plant care. The presence of weeds in young paulownia stands during the growing season leads to a significant suppression of culture plants. Establishing the features of the formation of weeding of paulownia plantations in the second year of vegetation is impossible without a comprehensive determination of plant growth parameters. Information about the specifics of weeding make it possible to correctly develop an effective system of protection against weeds.

In opposite to this, in our societies, students have to face different types of difficulties in the field of education. Fortunately, if anyone reaches a university-level education then the biggest difficulty he has to face in the BS, MS and even PhD level education is the selection of the topic for himself. Students face huge difficulties in the selection of their theses topic and seems very anxious in that situation. In the contemporary era, students have deficient in study. In our country there are few high quality libraries. If few libraries of high standard are present then there are few studying people at there.  The high-standard libraries of the well repudiated universities of our country have a lesser number of students for studying purposes. The situation of the students of the Islamic department is alarming because most of the students in Islamic studies are not know the different fields of Islamic studies. Islamic studies have different fields which have been discussed in this article. If students become familiar with these fields and improve themselves then their difficulties will be overcome. This article will be helpful in this regard.

The persistent challenges in material forming processes arise from recurrent issues encountered during the deep drawing process, particularly involving cracks and deviations from standard thickness dimensions. This article investigates the deep drawing process using both experimental and numerical methodologies. The experimental approach employs a 40-ton capacity power press machine, while the numerical method utilizes the ABAQUS student version software. SPCC-SD (JIS G3141) is the selected material for producing a Dop-pipe 2-inch diameter pipe cap in both approaches. Noteworthy findings include the highest positive and negative correlations observed in elements E 46 and E 48, with values of 0.715 and -0.933, respectively. Minimal disparities, averaging around 4.6% for all components, were evident between the experimental and numerical methodologies. The numerical approach yielded predictive results identifying potential issues in elements E 47 and E 48. This observation did not reveal instances of tearing failure but instead showcased an increase in thickness due to a higher axial force between the dies and punched-in components. The study successfully and accurately predicted product thickness for all components, presenting a contrast with outcomes obtained through the experimental method. Furthermore, this research advances the deep drawing process, extending its applicability to broader material forming applications and ultimately enhancing overall production process efficiency.

A Study on Work-Life Quality of Female Domestic Workers
Authors: - Anna George , - M. Nandhini
Published: January 2024

Abstract: Domestic workers are regarded as an important source of income for millions of women worldwide. This sector has existed for centuries, as evidenced by the histories of slavery, colonialism, and other forms of servitude. In today's society, the contribution of domestic work is vital for the economy. They have become increasingly in demand around the world in recent decades. Domestic workers are not normally considered workers, and their working conditions remain unregulated. Their employment situation is considered outside the general framework of existing employment laws. This is mainly because most of the work done is generally invisible. Women domestic workers account for a large part of India's unorganized labor force. Though men do this type of work, there is a trend toward the feminization of domestic work. People from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are primarily involved in this work. The increase in the number of domestic workers in India is attributed to an increase in affluent sections' per capita income, increased female labor participation, the disintegration of joint families, and an increase in life expectancy with an increase in ill health levels. Therefore, their daily struggle for survival has yet to capture the attention of the government. Thus, this study is entitled “A Study on Work-Life Quality of Female Domestic Workers.” This helps to understand the major factors responsible for the low economic status of women domestic workers. The study will also highlight the issues and problems of these women domestic workers and various measures that can be taken for the welfare of this sector.

The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes toward the utilization of traditional medicinal plants and their impact on health improvement and poverty alleviation among the residents of Barangay Mintal, Davao City. The primary goal was to provide essential baseline data to support the enhancement of Republic Act 8423 (PITAHC), which aimed to enhance the quality and delivery of healthcare services in the Philippines by developing traditional and alternative healthcare and integrating it into the national healthcare system.
The study was conducted at Barangay Mintal, Davao City, with a population of 18,677 (City Population, 2020), the study focused on a community that, despite being highly urbanized and diverse in tribal representation, continued to rely on traditional herbal medicine for treating illnesses within their homes. The preference for herbal medicines stemmed from their accessibility, ease of preparation, cost-effectiveness, and perceived efficacy, in alignment with indigenous traditions.
Utilizing in-depth interviews and documentation through qualitative analysis, the research sought to explore the community's knowledge and attitudes regarding herbal usage. The study aimed to determine whether such practices contributed to alleviating health-related expenses within families. Ten respondents, aged 18-60, were randomly selected for in-depth interviews, utilizing open-ended questions.
The qualitative analysis brought to light the need for the revitalization of traditional herbal medicine practices within the barangay and health centers. Collaborative efforts with the Department of Health (DOH) were recommended, emphasizing the establishment of educational programs to raise community awareness. These programs would focus on improving practices, ensuring correct usage, and promoting the protection and conservation of medicinal plants. The findings also highlighted the importance of extending this knowledge to other barangays and schools.
Negotiating Choice in Leisure Pursuits of Women: A Sociological Investigation
Authors: - Promita Roy
Published: January 2024

Women are loaded with double-burden of official chores and household chores. It is crucial to identify the amount of time they are getting for leisure pursuits and also to fathom whether they are being coerced to negotiate with their leisure time. Scholars of Sociology have identified, leisure time is when one is free from obligatory activities. It is important to understand whether women who are doubly burdened at all have time away from obligatory activities and whether they can exercise their choice during leisure time. The present study is mainly based on secondary data including journal articles, book chapters, newspapers and so on. The objectives of the present study are, firstly, to find out whether working women, unmarried or married who have to take care of their families get sufficient leisure time, secondly, to find out how far does their leisure time and activity is manifested according to their own choice. Some studies have identified, even during their leisure time they usually cater to the needs of their family, either they stitch clothes for their children or spouse or they organize house parties for their husband and his friends and so on. The concern of ‘choice’ has to be addressed in this case and whether ‘choice’ too can be socially constructed. Satisfaction during leisure time creates sense of fulfilment and is an absolute necessity for well-being.

Authors: - Samuel Odoom , - Eric Opoku Osei
Published: January 2024

The need for measures to enhance students’ performance, especially in Science and Math as a panacea for development in this 4th industrial revolution has become a global call. The large stream and heterogeneous nature of educational data make it difficult to use traditional statistical methods for data analysis to support decisions. However, Educational data mining has been effective and efficient in addressing this issue but much focus of researchers has been on only students' academic records to determine performance. This study sought to propose a Random Forest model to predict and enhance students’ performance. The study adopted a 5-stage mining process to mine psycho-socio-economic demographics educational data with Mutual information, Chi-squared test, Featurewiz, RandomizedSearch CV, and GridSearch CV to optimize the model’s performance. The study’s outcome revealed the key factors affecting students’ performance and that the model was enhanced by a 10.4% increment in precision and f1-score and 9.1% recall value, 7.1secs (62%) improvement in execution time and 78.7% improvement in Root Mean Square Error. This outcome remains a contribution to guiding decision-making in the educational setting and a basis for further studies on model optimization.
