Starting from Scratch: A Holistic Framework for Designing Digitally Delivered Graduate Programs for STEM Working Professionals
Authors: Hughes Michael D. , Riello Susan , Krause Aric
Published: November 2023

Provided the opportunity to create new, high-quality graduate programs from scratch, a framework was sought to help meet the intersecting needs of employers and employees, while cultivating a learning environment that honors the individuality of working professionals. Given Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s (RPI) nearly 200 years of engineering and research excellence, it was natural to leverage the engineering design process to develop a modern solution. Though there are many variations of the engineering design process, this paper presents it as a sequence of six steps: identify, explore, design, create, test, and improve. The first three steps (identify, explore, and design) are the focus of this work. From these emerged a series of strategic decisions in program logistics (face-to-face, online, hybrid, etc.), curriculum design, and learning interface informed by thorough consideration of employer and employee needs as well as the latest in learning science. Due to the abundance of variety in how graduate programs are designed, this paper provides a detailed description of the design process such that other institutions looking to develop quality, digitally delivered programs, may consider this work. Consequently, clear connections are made between the needs of employers and employees, learning science, and research design. In all, eight graduate certificates, 10 sets of learning goals and competencies (LG&Cs), 25 project-based courses, and more than 60 projects have successfully been designed, developed, and delivered using the described process as a framework for program development. Future papers will explore how these courses and projects were created, tested, and improved through course development and review and revision processes that incorporate regularly cadenced instructor and student feedback.

Published: November 2023

The practice of physical activity is linked to an improvement in the state of health and integral development in childhood. The aim of this research was to determine the levels of regular physical activity carried out by children in the school, out-of-school, family and socio-community environments. A descriptive and correlational study was carried out with a total sample of 320 subjects aged 3 to 6 years. The levels of physical activity were collected through an ad hoc questionnaire completed by the parents. The results show that only 30.3% of the children participate in some extracurricular sporting activity, while 6.9% attend federated competitions. There is a higher participation in schoolchildren in the last year of Infant Education and, especially, boys are those who do more physical activity than girls. The use of daily active transport is characterised by 30.6%. Most of the subjects do not comply with the recommendations provided by the World Health Organisation regarding the practice of 180 minutes of physical activity per day. The competent authorities in education, social and sports policy are invited to promote the practice of physical activity from early childhood.

Published: November 2023

Many studies highlight human and physical capital’s role in the emergency response and post-disaster recovery phases. Even though social capital also plays a major role in emergency response and disaster recovery. Social capital can reduce disaster risk at the community level, especially for those who live in disaster areas. For this reason, the role of social capital in the emergency response and recovery phase is important, and its utilization must be developed. This study is expected to provide an overview of the role and influence of social capital in emergency response and post-disaster recovery in two different settings, both geographically and in the type of disaster that occurred. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a systematic literature review method, data collection was carried out by collecting literature, studies, articles, journals, reports, and previous research related to the role of social capital in post-disaster recovery process. The cases in this study are the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland and the earthquake in Gili Trawangan, Indonesia. This review focuses on three forms of social capital, bonding, bridging, and linking, available in disaster-affected communities and how these forms of social capital affect the recovery process of communities affected by disasters. The results show that in both areas, bonding social capital plays the strongest role, but there are differences in the impact of disasters on the condition of social capital in both area.

It is acknowledged that access to high-quality water is crucial for any significant human development. Ten boreholes were used in obtaining the water sample. The samples were analyzed using the American Public Health Association (APHA) suggested procedures. The test parameters were compared to the chemical drinking water quality guideline established by the World Health Organisation. In a situation where the value is not provided, we relied on other pieces of literature. The research shows that the alkalinity, iron (Fe+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg+), nitrate (NO3-), pH, conductivity, phosphate (PO43-), and total hardness (CaCO3) are all in line with the guidelines permissible limit which means are within the no-problem zone limits for health. While copper (Cu2+) was found to be within the permissible limit 2 mg/L in all the samples but BH1 (Junior Staff Quarters) 3mg/L which has health problems such as digestive disturbances, problems with the central nervous system, mucosal irritability, Wilson's illnesses, and liver and kidney damage.

Published: November 2023

Flavones are organic compounds in the flavonoid family that have a diverse range of biological functions. In this research, many flavones with various substituents were designed and synthesized from flavokawains A, B, and C, and their chalcone derivatives via an iodine-catalyzed oxidative cyclization process. All synthetic flavones were investigated for antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia solani, a plant pathogenic fungus. At 400 µg, most of the substances did not inhibit the tested species and R. solani growth was inhibited by only o-bromoflavone (40) by 74.88±0.91%. This indicated that the detrimental effect of flavones depends on the type and position of substituent, with the ortho bromo group showing the most promise. The molecular docking study on the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme revealed that the bromophenyl moiety (ring B) is a key molecular substructure of the flavone fungicide. The findings of this study will be used to develop novel plant pathogenic fungicides.
A Survey of Sign Language Recognition
Authors: Karanjkar Vaishnavi , Bagul Rutuja , Singh Raj Ranjan , Shirke Rushali
Published: November 2023

Sign Language is mainly used by deaf (hard hearing) and dumb people to exchange information between their own community and with other people. It is a language where people use their hand gestures to communicate as they can't speak or hear. The goal of sign language recognition (SLR) is to identify acquired hand motions and to continue until related hand gestures are translated into text and speech. Here, static and dynamic hand gestures for sign language can be distinguished. The human community values both types of recognition, even if static hand gesture recognition is easier than dynamic hand gesture recognition. By creating Deep Neural Network designs (Convolution Neural Network designs), where the model will learn to detect the hand motions images throughout an epoch, we are using Deep Learning Computer Vision to recognize the hand gestures. After the model successfully recognizes the motion, an English text file is created that can subsequently be translated to speech. The user can choose from a variety of translations for this paragraph. This application can be used without an internet connection and is entirely offline. With this model's improved efficiency, communication will be easier for the deaf (hard of hearing) and disabled people. We shall discuss the use of deep learning for sign language recognition in this paper. Key Words: sign language, convolutional neural network, computer vision.

Authors: Tambunan Herti , Rosharlianti Zulfa
Published: November 2023

Audit committees are the vanguards of financial oversight, ensuring that financial reporting is accurate and transparent. On the other hand, independent commissioners bring a wealth of external expertise to the boardroom, providing an additional layer of checks and balances. Their independence is instrumental in countering agency problems and enhancing decision-making processes. This study aims to examine the effects of audit committees and independent commissioners on firm value with financial performance as a moderating variable. The study utilizes a quantitative approach and employs associative methods. The type of data utilized in this research is secondary data. The data analysis method employed in this research includes panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis, utilizing the Eviews application version 10 and Microsoft Excel. The population for this study comprises primary consumer companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2018-2022. The data collection technique employed in this study was purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 25 research samples. The findings of the study indicate that the independent audit committee and board of commissioners collectively influence firm value. Individually, the audit committee shows no significant effect on firm value, whereas the independent board of commissioners does have a significant effect on firm value. Furthermore, the financial performance is found to moderate the relationship between the audit committee and firm value, while it does not have the capacity to moderate the relationship between the independent board of commissioners and firm value.
Food Security or Food Sovereignty? Agricultural Technology Reforms after the Famine in North Korea
Authors: Kobayashi Harumi , Suh Jae-Jung
Published: November 2023

How did North Koreans reform their agricultural technology after the massive famine in the 1990s? While the existing literature focuses its analysis on the nexus between the state and market to assess the possibility of a transition economy, we instead examine agricultural methods and
technologies employed in farmlands to evaluate the nature of technological reforms. After identifying technology reforms on the basis of primary sources published in the DPRK such as yearbooks, academic journals, and newspaper articles, as well as other materials published in South Korea,
Japan, and the United States and by international organizations, we classify them into two kinds of initiatives: modernization measures that sought to address the earlier failure to modernize agricultural technologies, and ecology-friendly farming practices designed to reduce or reverse the
negative externalities of industrial agriculture such as overdependence on chemical fertilizers or erosion of soil fertility. While the two are commonly seen as incompatible by scholars of agriculture, we conclude that North Koreans synthesized the two to transform their decaying industrial
agriculture into a more modernized and ecology-friendly sector. They have, through these reforms, maintained food sovereignty as their pillar of agriculture but complemented it with food security on a national scale as a way to maximize their agriculture outputs. Most of these initiatives
seem to continue to date although it remains to be seen if they have actually succeeded in increasing overall agricultural productivity and sustainability.
India’s Democracy: The Competitive Authoritarian Propensity? Rahul Mukherji and Seyed Hossein Zarhani
Authors: Mukherji Rahul , Zarhani Seyed Hossein
Published: November 2023

This paper explains and corroborates the mechanisms by which civic and political spaces opposed to Hindu nationalism have been attacked, especially after the arrival of the right-wing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in 2014. Three mechanisms are discerned for
replacing pluralistic values with Hindu majoritarian ones. Sometimes institutions are just allowed to drift by interpreting old rules in new ways. For example, no formal rules for media control have changed but the government???s control over media has increased substantially. At other
times, incremental legal and policy changes are executed to make the change explicit, often building on a new moral purpose. To give another example, the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) was amended and weaponized against NGOs in a layered way in 2020. Finally, when political opposition
is weak, institutions that have provided guarantees for protecting diversity have simply been displaced by new and radically different ones. This was the case with abrogating Article 370, which converted the special status of the subnational state of Jammu and Kashmir to the status
of two federally administered union territories–Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. These mechanisms place India in a competitive authoritarian frame, where those in power deploy electoral majorities to systematically attack the political opposition, making it more di(cult for it to rise.
Despite these propensities, opposition parties have won elections in some of India’s subnational states. The challenges facing the world’s most populous democracy are significant, even though competitive elements co-exist. These elements in a competitive authoritarian regime, however,
are under severe stress. India’s democratic credentials can be revived only if the competitive elements of India’s democracy stand united against ethno-nationalist Hindu majoritarianism.

Published: November 2023

Achieving positive global development in today's world is possible through convergence. Major global competitors are moving forward by forming unions and agreements based on common interests. This is something that Islamic countries are in desperate need of. The focus of this research is also on the role of economic convergence in enhancing the capabilities of the Islamic world. In this research, a qualitative method has been used using articles, books and also according to detailed information from reliable global sources. The aim is for the Islamic world to reach a level of development through cooperation and solidarity among Islamic countries and by meeting the needs of the Islamic Ummah, freeing themselves from severe economic dependence. The results indicate that the Islamic world can effectively work towards common goals and maximize its economic potential. Islam, with its emphasis on Allah almighty, aims to bring honor and glory to Muslims and enable them to participate in international competition, utilizing their material and spiritual talents and abilities. With cultural, historical, and emotional ties among Muslim nations and the large group of 57 countries that make up the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, representing over one and a half billion people, accounting for nearly 60% of global strategic reserves, there is immense potential for economic convergence if they focus on common development-oriented interests and goals. By doing so, Islamic societies can thrive and make a significant impact in the international arena as a strong economic force

The purpose of this research paper is to explore the extent of Arthur Schopenhauer's thoughts in seeing and penetrating ideas, desires, preferences, and plausibility through distancing, colliding, and giving meaning when he encounters music, social issues, and multi-disciplines without losing the self-image of music. Qualitative research with data search on previous writings through journals as a secondary source became a room to argue Arthur Schopenhauer's thoughts with intelligence, non-simplification of something complex and enjoy without the need for validation. Results show that the objectivation of the will as Arthur Schopenhauer's central idea leads to visual space in the frame of images, songs, lyrics, narratives, processes, and struggles as the essence of music that permeates and boils down to reflection and asceticism.
