LEGITIMASI PUTUSAN PENGADILAN INDONESIA SEBAGAI SUMBER HUKUM MAHKAMAH INTERNASIONAL DALAM PEMBENTUKAN HUKUM INTERNASIONAL
Authors: Eka An Aqimuddin
Published: February 2025

Penelitian selama ini lebih banyak melihat pengadilan Indonesia dalam menerapkan hukum internasional. Padahal, pengadilan Indonesia juga dapat berperan untuk membentuk hukum internasional melalui Mahkamah Internasional (MI)  sebagai sumber hukum yang digunakan oleh MI. Artikel ini ingin menjawab dua permasalahan utama mengenai kemungkian putusan pengadilan Indonesian digunakan sebagai sumber hukum bagi MI dalam pembentukan hukum internasional. Permasalahan pertama adalah secara praktik, MI memiliki peran dalam pembentukan hukum internasional. Sumber hukum yang dapat digunakan oleh MI yaitu berasal dari putusan pengadilan domestik. Kedua, putusan pengadilan Indonesia memiliki kemungkinan untuk digunakan sebagai sumber hukum oleh MI dalam pembentukan hukum internasional. Carnya melalui jalur informal yaitu legitimasi, yang diperoleh berdasarkan pengakuan atas putusan pengadilan Indonesia oleh negara lain. Legitimasi dapat diwujudkan melalui  perbaikan secara sistem dan struktur lembaga peradilan, referensi putusan pengadilan Indonesia berbahasa internasional, penguasaan hakim atas hukum adat dan hukum internasional dan mendorong partisipasi hakim Indonesia untuk menjadi hakim di MI.

Authors: Andrew Edkins
Published: February 2025

This essay considers the interest Peter Morris had in the earliest stages of the project’s lifecycle. The essay considers why this front end of the project is worthy of both academic and practitioner interest through linking the project’s strategic front end to the latter stages of the project, where the project transitions into the required product of the project endeavour. The essay acknowledges the astuteness of Peter Morris’s observations and insights and seeks to build on this with considerations and recommendations for both the scholar and the practitioner interested and involved with projects.
Exploring a Theoretical Framework and System Dynamics Model for Innovation and Sustainability within the Management of Projects Paradigm
Authors: Javier Andres Calderon-Tellez  , Gary Bell  , Milton M. Herrera  , Carlos Sato
Published: February 2025

Anthropogenic climate change provides the context for the emergence of new challenges within the project management discipline. The scholarly research of Peter Morris can contribute to addressing these discipline challenges. This research builds upon the Management of Projects (MoP) paradigm and develops connections with systems understanding to support project practitioners in considering project sustainability decisions.  The Innovation, Sustainability and Management of Projects (ISMP) framework, introduced in this paper, incorporates an extension to the project life cycle model, introducing an ‘ecosystems impact’ phase, and it positions Innovation and Sustainability understanding into the MoP paradigm. MoP is associated with a holistic perspective which can be linked with the Systems Movement.  An overview of some key ideas and theories connected with this Movement are provided, which supports the selection of System Dynamics technique for an approach to connect decisions and understanding within project management practice and across the project life cycle. A completed renewable energy project from Colombia is used as the case study for this exploratory research. A combination of the ISMP framework, project data, and stakeholder participation is used to inform the development of a System Dynamics model as a relevant approach to support strategic decision-making for the sustainability impact of proposed interventions. The systems approach developed connects MoP, sustainability and innovation and has potential benefits for project practitioners navigating decisions for sustainability across the project life cycle.

Published: February 2025

Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) are the primary downstream effectors of the Hippo signaling pathway. This pathway plays a crucial role in regulating organ size, maintaining tissue homeostasis, and controlling cellular processes such as fate determination and tissue development. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of how the transcriptional regulators YAP and TAZ contribute to the physiological and pathological processes in tissues and cells associated with the skeletal motor system. The underlying molecular mechanisms and mechanical transduction were reviewed.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage among the critical care personnel in a tertiary care hospital in Sikkim: An observational study
Authors: Subba Anusha , Tsering Dechen Chomu
Published: February 2025

Background & objectives

Persistent nasal colonisation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among healthcare personnel (HCP) remains a significant challenge. MRSA carriers are crucial to the spread of the infection, with healthcare professionals often acting as vectors for both hospital- and community-acquired MRSA. This study aimed to evaluate the MRSA carriage rate among healthcare professionals from critical care units at a tertiary care hospital in Gangtok, Sikkim. Furthermore, the study undertook to analyse antibiotic susceptibility patterns of isolated MSSA and MRSA strains, and identify associated risk factors for MRSA infection.

Methods

Three hundred samples from healthcare workers (HCW) posted in the critical care units of a tertiary care hospital were cultured and identified by routine biochemical methods. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method for all MRSA and MSSA isolates. Association with various risk factors was understood by the Chi square test.

Results

Nineteen of the 300 participants were identified as nasal MRSA carriers having an overall carriage rate of 6.33 per cent in this study. The prevalence of MRSA was seen to be the highest among the attendants (9.52%), and the highest carriers were from the surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICUs). All the MRSA and MSSA isolates showed 100 per cent resistance to penicillin and 100 per cent susceptibility to linezolid. A significant correlation among hand hygiene practices and patient contact was reported from this study.

Interpretation & conclusions

Despite existing infection control policies, the MRSA carriage seen in HCWs in critical care units was 6.33 per cent, highlighting the need for regular systematic screening and decolonisation of all healthcare professionals to decrease the carrier status and prevent the spread of infection.
Leveraging artificial intelligence to promote COVID-19 appropriate behaviour in a healthcare institution from north India: A feasibility study
Authors: Verma Madhur , Mirza Moonis , Sayal Karan , Shenoy Sukesh , Sahoo Soumya Swaroop , Goel Anil , Kakkar Rakesh
Published: February 2025

Background & Objectives

Non-pharmacological interventions (NPI) were crucial in curbing the initial COVID-19 pandemic waves, but compliance was difficult. The primary aim of this study was to assess the changes in compliance with NPIs in healthcare settings using Artificial intelligence (AI) and examine the barriers and facilitators of using AI systems in healthcare.

Methods

A pre-post-intervention study was conducted in a north-Indian hospital between April and July 2022. YOLO-V5 and 3D Cartesian distance algorithm-based AI modules were used to ascertain compliance through several parameters like confidence threshold, intersection-over-union threshold, image size, distance threshold (6 feet), and 3D Euclidean Distance estimation. Validation was done by evaluating model performance on a labelled test dataset, and accuracy was 91.3 per cent. Interventions included daily sensitization and health education for the hospital staff and visitors, display of information, education and communication (IEC) materials, and administrative surveillance. In-depth interviews were conducted with the stakeholders to assess the feasibility issues. Flagged events during the three phases were compared using One-way ANOVA tests in SPSS.

Results

Higher social distancing (SD) compliance events were flagged by the module in the intervention phase compared to the pre-intervention and post-intervention phases (P<0.05). Mask non-compliance was significantly lower (P <0.05) in the pre-intervention phase and highest in the post-intervention phase, with varied differences between different intervention phases in the registration hall and medicine out-patient department (OPD). The modules’ data safety, transfer, and cost were the most common concerns.

Interpretation & conclusions

AI can supplement our efforts against the pandemic and offer indispensable help with minimal feasibility issues that can be resolved through adequate sensitization and training.
Acute leukemia manifesting as a pericardial effusion in a pregnant female: A rare event
Authors: Gangopadhyay Gourik , Gautam Surabhi , Siddiqui Bushra , Rehman Sumaiya
Published: February 2025

Pregnancy is an immunocompromised and hyperdynamic state. Although pregnancy makes a female vulnerable to a plethora of infections, primary malignancies in pregnancy constitute only about 0.1% of all malignant cases, out of which acute leukemias are relatively rare. Here, we present a case of acute leukemia presenting for the 1st time in pregnancy with the unusual manifestation of pericardial effusion. A 32-year-old patient, G3P2L2, presented to the obstetrics outpatient department of our hospital at 27 weeks with low-grade fever and dyspnea. Apart from other obstetric complications, radiological investigations confirmed pericardial effusion. Initial complete blood count revealed a markedly increased total leucocyte count of 88.9 × 103/mm3. Percutaneous pericardial drainage and peripheral blood film examination revealed a predominance of immature cells resembling blasts in both fluids. Pre-pregnant hematological records did not show any such abnormality. Chemotherapy was immediately commenced. However, the patient succumbed to acute leukemia. Due to its vague and nonspecific symptoms, the diagnosis of acute leukemia often poses an immense diagnostic dilemma, especially in early pregnancy. Even if diagnosed, chemotherapy needs to be administered with utmost precision to minimize adverse effects to the mother and fetus. Cases such as these need to be given due attention to consider leukemia as a possibility during pregnancy.

Published: February 2025

Objectives:

This study aims to evaluate self-reported/parent-reported adherence to on-demand therapy among persons with hemophilia.

Material and Methods:

A cross-sectional survey of 55 participants receiving on-demand therapy recruited during outpatient appointments in 5 hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) across Nigeria using the validated Hemophilia Regimen Treatment Adherence Scale-on-demand (Validated Hemophilia Regimen Treatment Adherence Scale - PRN; VERITAS-PRN) with 24 questions on six (four-item) subscales (treat, time, dose, plan, remember, and communicate). The options of VERITAS -PRN were represented in 5 Likert scale and possible subscale ranged from 4 points (most adherent) to 20 points (least adherent) and possible total score ranging from 24 (most adherent) to 120 (least adherent). The cut-off for overall adherence is put at >61 to indicate non-adherence. Information on the presence of target joints and annualized bleeding rates were collected from medical files.

Result:

Of the 55 participants, 94.1% both had hemophilia A and target joints. The majority 51 (92.7%) had scores indicating non-adherence. The mean age of non-adherent and adherent participants was 19 (13.9) years and 24 (13.23) years, respectively. For the non-adherent, the overall mean score was 68.05 (8.54). Subscale scores range from 9.38 (treat) to 15.00 (remember). All subscales showed significant difference in the overall adherence between adherent and non-adherent participants with a P < 0.05. There was a significant association between the mean log of the number of target joints and the communicating subscale for the non-adherent group (r-0.61 P = 0.046).

Conclusion:

The findings indicate that adherence is generally poor and there is high frequency of target joints among them. Efforts should be made to improve adherence to treatment which may reduce target joints and ultimately improve joint health.

Published: February 2025

Four African rock pythons at the Wildlife Park in Nigeria were reported to show clinical signs of reduced appetite and lethargy. In response, the management of the University of Jos Veterinary Teaching Hospital assembled a team to investigate and manage the condition. Initially suspecting helminthosis, the team decided to deworm the snakes using Levamisole at a dose of 10 mg/kg subcutaneously (SC). Whole blood, ectoparasite, and fecal samples were collected. During the handling of the snakes, they were observed to be heavily infested with ticks. Laboratory results later showed the presence of Hepatozoon spp. in the blood and nematode eggs in the feces, prompting a follow-up visit 2 weeks later. During the second visit, the snakes were treated with an injection of ivermectin at 0.1 mg/kg SC, imidocarb dipropionate at 5 mg/kg SC, and atropine sulfate at 0.02 mg/kg SC. Following treatment, the snakes made a full recovery and significantly regained their activity and appetite.

Authors: Peña Cristina García-De la , Barraza-Guerrero Sergio Iván , Siller-Rodríguez Quetzaly Karmy , Valenzuela-Núñez Luis Manuel , Vásquez-Arroyo Jesús
Published: February 2025

Objectives:

Knowledge of the diversity of bacteria that are potentially pathogenic to humans in domestic animals is important for public health. Dogs are the closest animal species to humans and carry some species of bacteria that can be transmitted by their bite. Blood is considered a tissue that can reflect an approximation of the general bacterial microbiome of an individual, including that of the oral cavity. In particular, some species of the genera Capnocytophaga and Neisseria have been documented as part of the oral microbiome of the canine mouth. There are reports that both genera cause mild or severe infections in people bitten by dogs. In Mexico, as in many developing countries, millions of stray dogs carry potentially zoonotic bacteria. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the species of Capnocytophaga and Neisseria from blood samples of stray dogs in northern Mexico through next-generation sequencing.

Material and Methods:

Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA was extracted from blood samples of 12 randomly selected dogs, the V3-V4 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) region was amplified, and the Illumina NovaSeq platform was used for sequencing. The amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) sequences of both genera were compared to those in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database through the basic local alignment search tool, which considers 97% identity as the minimum percentage of identity to accept the species.

Results:

The species identified were Capnocytophaga cynodegmi, Capnocytophaga catalasegens, Capnocytophaga canimorsus, Neisseria canis, Neisseria perflava, Neisseria weixii, Neisseria weaveri, Neisseria dumasiana, and Neisseria zoodegmatis.

Conclusion:

Most of these species cause infections following dog bites, but others have only recently been described in hosts other than dogs. It is important to continue using sequencing technologies in animal and public health to increase information, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Published: February 2025

Student organizations exist to protect the rights and interests of their members. Therefore, if they are organized into representative student governments, students can be a very influential agent who shapes the policy of higher education, and build themselves as democratic force in the society. The purpose of this study conducted by Institute for Sociological, Political and Juridical Research (ISPJR), Skopje was to consider student activism at university level in light of social justice motive. The data show that components of social justice motive influence the activism in Student Organization but also certainly proved that educational system of the country has serious omissions and errors in developing responsible and active youth and the country has to invest in its students because good student organization, in addition to exercising rights, freedoms and needs, and engaging in improving students’ standard and their well-being, means investing in an active, efficient, motivated and democratic youth.
The Sociological Dimensions of the FCP Method: A Christian Psychotherapy Approach to Addressing Stress and Suffering.
Authors: Ilievski Naum , Angelina Ilievska, MD,
Published: February 2025

The concept of the Five Control Points, FCP (systematized by the author), is a contemporary approach used in Christian Psychotherapy that arises from a specific personal and spiritual experience under the supervision of a spiritual father—psychotherapist. It enables productive and meaningful overcoming of stress, as well as of the process of suffering, on a personal and wider social level, developing an adaptive social response and effective functioning. This is a descriptive study of the applied FCP method. It consists of five control points based on the Christian spiritual practice (acceptance, thanksgiving, self-discernment, quiescence and prayer). In the classical approaches, dealing with stress occurs on a psychological level by activating the psychological defence mechanisms, the most common: suppression, denial, rationalization. With FCP there is a completely opposite reaction. The intrapsychic process and its dynamics shift in the domain of the spiritual self with phenomenon of positive transformation (metanoia). The FCP method stimulates a creative process of overcoming stress and suffering as a purposeful and useful integrated experience that enhances the capacity of existence by enabling further and continuous personal growth and development. The person maturing through this process is the unifying axis, the peacemaker and the pointer to the positive developmental direction in the family unit, the environment and the society as a wider context. The positive social impact of the concept can be observed by comparing the usual human behaviour and the behaviour of a person trained through the FCP method.

Primary and Secondary Data in Doctoral Research Studies
Authors: Jashari Hasan
Published: February 2025

It is a matter of debate about what a scientific research is. But within this issue we often discuss about the data source. These issues have raised some dilemmas of ethical character on how datas shall be collected, who collects them, and who may use and the way they are used. No doubt those doctorates represent a research but the purpose of this paper is to stimulate debate on some essential criteria which it should have. The first question we put forth is that how much of the data presented by the candidate are of first hand- collected by the candidate himself, his team and how much data are used from other sources or are given from second hand (Mattews, Ross, 2012). From the direct analysis of the doctorate works in SEE University, it turns out that there is a mixed approach of using the data and their presentation. We can freely say that first-hand data are more in number but there is also a great numbers of dissertations without first-hand data, so without source data, collected directly by the author on the determined subject of his paper . So the permanent question that should afflict us is that whether a dissertation should always respect innovation and basic principles of Salzburg Principles? By reviewing of the literature, documents analyzing, statistical analyzing we will be able to give a clear picture of how the of primary and secondary sources in the dissertation work should be used.

Factors Influencing SoTL-Active Family Scientists’ Target Journal Decisions
Authors: Maurer Trent W. , DiGregorio Nikki
Published: February 2025

This exploratory study investigated the factors that influence family science SoTL scholars’ decisions regarding where to submit their FS-SoTL work for publication consideration, contributing to ISSOTL’s Grand Challenge #5. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 12 SoTL-active family science faculty members. The results of the quantitative analyses revealed that the majority of the participants rated Helpfulness of peer reviews in improving the work, the Cost (or lack of cost) to publish, Has a readership/audience that I want to reach, and Journal/source publishes similar SoTL research as “Very important” or higher. Recursive thematic analysis of written open-ended responses yielded three themes: paucity of FS-SoTL, no home in largest disciplinary journals, as well as reach and publication processes. Collectively, the results provide valuable insight into not only the factors that influence family science SoTL scholars’ decisions regarding where to submit their FS-SoTL work for publication consideration, but also illuminate how these determinations may deviate from decisions related to submitting non-SoTL FS research for publication. Preliminary findings suggest that SoTL-active family scientists’ target journal decisions are influenced by some factors significantly different from those that typically influence disciplinary scholarship, yet that are also consistent with some patterns of SoTL scholarship across disciplines. Consequently, the reach of FS-SoTL scholars’ work may be limited by some of the complex contextual factors identified in this exploratory study. Implications for the discipline of family science, recommendations for supporting FS-SoTL scholars, and future research are discussed.
Integrating Critical Family History with Collaborative Autoethnography in an Independent Study
Authors: Beltran Grettel M. , Edwards-Bianchi Adrienne L.
Published: February 2025

In this collaborative autoethnography, we, a Mexican woman graduate student and a Black woman faculty member, engage critical family history to think reflexively about how our family histories interact with our intersectional positions as Women of Color in academia to influence how we approach teaching family science. Both participants collected genealogical and autobiographical data and reflected on them through interactive interviewing and critical self-reflection. Thematic analysis revealed two major themes: bringing historical trauma into the classroom and representing Women of Color in the classroom. We discuss our findings in the context of increasing understanding of the experiences of Women of Color in family science programs at predominately White institutions. We ruminate about the benefits and challenges associated with a graduate student and faculty member working closely together on such an in-depth and personally revealing project. Our research is grounded in reflexive practice in teaching family science.

This paper details experiential and active learning activities at two levels. The first level, a graduate-level course on Work and Family, had students create a lesson plan on work and family, spillover, and conflict and include an active learning component within various undergraduate-level courses already offered. This assignment allowed the graduate students to grow in their knowledge of work and family and advance their teaching scholarship—the second level involved undergraduate courses. The undergraduate students in the various classes that received the work and family activity were also able to enhance their understanding of the topic in an active learning environment. An evaluation component enhanced the graduate students’ research understanding.
“I’m glad we don’t have to see him anymore”: Mother-child interactions in the context of intimate partner violence
Authors: Autret Maya , Khaw Lyndal
Published: February 2025

The long-term detrimental effects of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) on abused women and their children are well-documented. However, how IPV affects the mother-child relationship and its resistance to IPV have not received significant attention. Drawing on a strength-based feminist approach, this study focuses on the role that mother-child interactions play in an IPV context. Using grounded theory, a secondary data analysis on interviews with 11 abused mothers revealed different forms and patterns of exchanges between mothers and children, suggesting insights into the dynamics of mother-child interactions that reflect acts of resistance in an IPV context. A proposed conceptual model illustrates this process and suggests next steps for further delineating these connections.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui skala kesulitan belajar siswa dan tingkat pemahaman siswa pada topik Struktur Atom dan Sistem Periodik Unsur berdasarkan hasil angket dan asesmen formatif di SMAN 6 Malang, melibatkan 32 siswa kelas X-7 sebagai sampel penelitian. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes pilihan ganda dengan kode A dan kode B yang telah memenuhi kriteria valid dengan nilai validitas butir soal berdasarkan analisis point biserial berkisar antara 0,311 hingga 0,860 dan nilai reliabilitasnya berdasarkan nilai Cronbach’s Alpha yaitu 0,880 untuk kode A dan 0,846 untuk kode B. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa kelas X-7 mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami konsep-konsep materi Struktur Atom dan Sistem Periodik Unsur, terlihat dari hasil angket kesulitan belajar dan nilai rata-rata siswa yang masih berada di bawah KKM. Analisis lebih lanjut mengungkapkan bahwa siswa kesulitan dalam menghubungkan konsep-konsep abstrak, seperti konfigurasi elektron dengan sifat-sifat unsur, serta menunjukkan kecenderungan bergantung pada hafalan daripada pemahaman konsep yang mendalam. Sebanyak 43,7% siswa berada pada kriteria tingkat pemahaman yang kurang, menunjukkan perlunya peningkatan strategi pembelajaran untuk memperbaiki pemahaman siswa terhadap materi kimia.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the energy harvesting performance of piezoelectric cantilever beams using three configurations—unimorph, bimorph, and stack—with two piezoelectric materials, PZT-5A and PVDF. The methodology involved a detailed analysis of voltage, mechanical power, and electrical power outputs across varying frequencies and load resistances. Experiments were conducted at the resonance frequencies of each beam configuration and material to determine their energy conversion efficiency. The results reveal that PZT-5A significantly outperformed PVDF, with PZT-5A's voltage output being up to 94% higher at resonance. Among the configurations, the bimorph beam with PZT-5A demonstrated the highest energy conversion efficiency, achieving a 50% increase in electrical power output compared to the unimorph configuration and a 9% improvement over the stack configuration. Load resistance analysis also indicated optimal energy harvesting in the range of 104 Ω to 105Ω. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive comparison of different materials and configurations, highlighting the critical role of structural design and material properties in optimizing piezoelectric energy harvesters for low-power applications. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the efficiency of piezoelectric devices in various practical applications. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2025-09-01-019 Full Text: PDF

Objective: The present study aims to explore the relationships between big data analytics capability, circular economy practices, and SMEs’ sustainable performance in Pakistan. It investigates notable factors determining SMEs’ sustainable performance, including employees’ perceived usefulness, data-driven culture, and leadership competency mediating the mentioned relationships. Method: The study employs quantitative research based on a positivist philosophy orientation. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed among the employees of 350 SMEs operating in Pakistan’s different regions. Findings: The study's results demonstrated the direct effects of big data analytics capability on sustainable performance, employee perceived usefulness, and data-driven culture. Additionally, circular economy practices influence sustainable performance; employee perceived usefulness and leadership competency. Finally, the results highlighted that each relationship is subject to partial mediation, which indicates the role of employee-perceived usefulness and data-driven culture in the relationship between big data analytics and sustainable performance and employee-perceived usefulness associated with the relationship between circular economy practices and sustainable performance. Novelty:The present study highlights that all three of the previous topics are consistent and significantly contribute to the existing literature by providing a model with the main factors that determine SMEs’ sustainable performance, which can be sufficient for countries’ developing economies. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2025-09-01-020 Full Text: PDF
HSTCN-NuSVC: A Homogeneous Stacked Deep Ensemble Learner for Classifying Human Actions Using Smartphones

Smartphone-based human activity recognition (HAR) is an important research area due to its wide-ranging applications in health, security, gaming, etc. Existing HAR models face challenges such as tedious manual feature extraction/selection techniques, limited model generalisation, high computational cost, and inability to retain longer-term dependencies. This work aims to overcome the issues by proposing a lightweight, homogenous stacked deep ensemble model, termed Homogenous Stacking Temporal Convolutional Network with Nu-Support Vector Classifier (HSTCN-NuSVC), for activity classification. In this model, multiple enhanced TCN networks with diverse architectures are organised parallelly to capture hierarchical spatial-temporal patterns from raw inertial signals. Each base model (i.e., TCN) incorporates dilations and residual connections to preserve longer effective histories, allowing the model to retain longer-term dependencies. Additionally, dilations can diminish the number of trainable parameters, reducing the model complexity and computational cost. The base models’ predictions are concatenated and fed into a meta-learner (i.e., Nu-SVC) for final classification. The proposed HSTCN-NuSVC is evaluated using a publicly available database, i.e., UCI HAR, and a subject-independent protocol is implemented. The empirical results demonstrate that HSTCN-NuSVC achieves 97.25% accuracy with only 0.51 million parameters. The results exhibit the model’s effectiveness in enhancing generalisation across individuals with better accuracy and computational efficiency. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2025-09-01-026 Full Text: PDF
