Published: May 2024

Terrain recognition is vital for numerous real-world applications, from autonomous navigation to disaster management. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have emerged as potent tools for addressing terrain recognition challenges. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach to significantly improve terrain recognition accuracy using CNNs. We meticulously curate a dataset from Kaggle, comprising 1989 high-resolution images categorized into four terrain classes: Grassy, Sandy, Rocky, and Marshy. Our methodology revolves around the systematic design and implementation of deep learning techniques, primarily focusing on CNN architectures. Additionally, we contribute by training a CNN model tailored for classifying images into the four terrain classes. Leveraging the computational resources of Google Colab, we conduct extensive experimentation and analysis to evaluate the performance of our CNN-based terrain recognition system. Empirical results demonstrate substantial advancements in terrain recognition accuracy, underscoring the transformative role of CNNs in enhancing the efficiency and precision of terrain classification systems. Furthermore, we delve into the intricacies of our CNN model's architecture, exploring key design choices and optimization strategies. These insights deepen our understanding of CNN- based terrain recognition systems and provide valuable guidance for future research endeavors. Overall, our study highlights the practical relevance and transformative potential of CNNs in elevating terrain recognition accuracy.

Published: May 2024

Transport solutions such as metro rail projects in cities are needed to cope with India's rapidly growing urbanisation. However, a number of issues that affect the performance in terms of deadlines, project costs and construction quality are faced by several metro projects currently under way in Indian cities. Based on the likely severity of these delays, this research prioritised time overrun parameters via expert questionnaire. Relative importance index (RII) of collected responses were computed and analysed. The result show that for time overrun the top three critical factors are Existing Utility Shifting, Land Acquisition for the Project and Poor Management / Incompetency of Contractor. It would facilitate the timely completion of metro projects with reasonable value for money to government, by mitigating this time overrun through proper life cycle contract management and risk allocation.

Los requisitos de acceso a la pensión de jubilación anticipada por discapacidad en grado igual o superior al 45 %.
Authors: Areta Martinez María
Published: May 2024

Hasta el 1 de junio de 2023, el acceso a la jubilación anticipada de una persona con discapacidad en grado igual o superior al 45 % quedaba supeditado, entre otros, a los tres requisitos siguientes: 1) estar afecta de una patología generadora de discapacidad listada en el Real Decreto 1851/2009, 2) tener reconocida la discapacidad listada en grado igual o superior al 45 % y 3) tener reconocido el grado de discapacidad igual o superior al 45 % durante todo el período mínimo de cotización de 15 años. La cuestión planteada en la STS-SOC núm. 353/2024 consiste en determinar si cabe entender que la trabajadora ha tenido un grado de discapacidad igual o superior al 45 % durante todo el periodo de carencia. La Sala desestima el RCUD por falta de contradicción, pero ello no obsta para reflexionar sobre las dificultades que en ocasiones se han planteado en la práctica para acreditar el requisito en cuestión y que, en parte, traen su causa en: 1) los cambios en la normativa que regula el reconocimiento, la declaración y valoración del grado de discapacidad; 2) la agravación de la dolencia determinante de la declaración inicial de discapacidad; y 3) la aparición de nuevas dolencias susceptibles de valoración. Desde el 1 de junio de 2023, tras la reforma operada por el Real Decreto 370/2023, basta que el grado de discapacidad igual o superior al 45 % se haya reconocido durante 5 de los 15 años del periodo mínimo de cotización.

Les personnes salariées justifiant d'un handicap réportorié d'au moins égale à 45 % peuvent bénéficier d'une retraite anticipée dès l'âge de 56 ans. Avant le 1er june 2023, il était nécessaire d'exercer l'activité professionnelle pendant une période minimale de 15 ans, en étant atteint d'un handicap au moins égale à 45 %. Depuis le 1er june 2023, il suffit d'éxcercer l'activité professionnelle pendant une période minimale de 5 ans, en étant atteint d'un handicap au moins égale à 45 %.

Investigation of high-temperature wear behavior of Ni-Mo alloyed hardfacing coatings applied on hot strip mill vertical rolls by submerged arc welding
Authors: Sarsılmaz Hikmet Gizem , Günen Ali , Kanca Erdoğan
Published: May 2024

In this study, hot strip mill vertical rolls made of AISI 4140 steel, commonly used in the iron and steel industry's hot rolling section, were coated with ER430 and E430+EC410NiMo using the submerged arc welding (SAW) method. The coatings were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), microhardness, and wear testing (room 24 °C, 300 °C, and 600 °C). XRD analysis showed that in the ER430 sample, the dominant phase was α-ferrite phase and a small amount of γ (austenite) phase observed, while in the ER 430+EC410NiMo sample, the α-ferrite phase was the dominant phase, but the γ (austenite) phase in the structure was more severe and additionally M6C carbide phase was formed. Coating thicknesses and microhardness values of ER430 and ER430+EC410NiMo coatings were measured as 1.5 mm and 3.75 mm thicknesses, and 533±42 HV0.1 and 473±35 HV0.1 respectively. The increase in hardness on the surface of coated specimens resulted in higher wear resistance compared to the uncoated specimens under all conditions. Regarding average friction coefficient values, coated specimens generally exhibited lower values, although in some cases, the average friction coefficient was higher. In the wear tests, the lowest wear volume losses occurred in the tests conducted at 300°C, while the highest wear volume losses were observed in the tests at 600°C. Upon evaluating the wear mechanisms, it was determined that adhesive and oxidative wear mechanisms were generally dominant in the coated specimens. At higher temperatures, oxidative wear mechanisms became more prominent. ER430+EC410NiMo coatings exhibited better wear resistance compared to ER430, which can be attributed to the toughness effect of γ (austenite) and M6C phases in these coatings. Consequently, it was concluded that applying powder deposition coatings onto hot strip mill vertical rolls made of AISI 4140 steel could enhance their wear resistance, thereby increasing productivity in manufacturing processes.

Published: May 2024

Climate change is posing challenges to every nation. Its effects are already being witnessed in different parts of the world. Extreme weather conditions and other climate-related disasters have forced world leaders to look for possible solutions. Media is of great assistance in this regard. It can not only highlight the issue but create awareness among people. Among the nations most at risk from global warming, Pakistan comes in at 8th position. However, its media has been witnessed to be ignorant towards the crucial issue. Therefore, this study focuses on the factors affecting Pakistani media coverage of climate change. A qualitative approach was used in the form of interviews from a defined sample of the population comprising ten climate journalists in Pakistan. The findings of the study suggest that agenda setting, economic interest, political inclination, corporate interest and media policy are among the top factors that influence the reporting of climate change in Pakitsan’s mainstream media.

Thalassemia is among the most challenging hereditary blood disorders with no permanent cure. The patients of thalassemia have to face multidimensional complications that may lead to physical, emotional, social, and monetary burdens, among others, that negatively affect the patients, their families, and especially the caregivers. The caregivers feel the burden owing to the long-standing character of the diseases and the struggling process for curing patients, and the caregivers have to face numerous burdens that lead them towards anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, aggression, poor relationships, lower productivity, and many others. The prime objective of this study is to understand the physical, emotional, and monetary burdens faced by caregivers, and primary data for this quantitative study were collected from caregivers of thalassemia patients of district Gujrat. Researchers applied the purposive sampling technique and a structured questionnaire to approach the study participants. The findings highlighted that the caregivers of thalassemia patients face a large number of physical (continued attachment, tiredness, isolation, lower productivity), emotional (aggression, depression, fear of losing a loved one life), and monetary (visiting health centers, arranging blood donors, travel and transportation, personal obligations) burdens that have significant impacts on their socio-economic, psychological and physical health.

Authors: Dayan Uzma , Jameel Aaima
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the study was to explore the learning experiences of non-Pashto speaking students, which ensued due to teachers’ code switching to Pashto language at University of Peshawar. Employing qualitative methods, the objectives of the study included: exploring perceptions of students about teachers’ use of code switching on non-Pashto speaking students’ learning; analyzing the difficulties students’ face; and exploring strategies that students use to overcome the barriers of language in learning. Population of the study consisted of students of University of Peshawar. Using snowball sampling technique, 25 participants were selected from three faculties of University of Peshawar. The data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis technique. Findings of the study reveal that some teachers code switch to Pashto, the local language which creates barriers in learning for the non-Pashto speaking students. This code switching affects students’ academically, behaviorally and emotionally. Consequently, students face an obstructive classroom climate, which severely influences their level of attention and interest and results in their non-participative role in class. The study recommends considering inclusive education principles in linguistically diverse classrooms, so that all the students are treated and benefited equally. Moreover, it suggests that teachers adhere to the National Professional Standards for Teachers in Pakistan (NPSTs) to enhance learning effectiveness.
Acumulação de capital e devastação ambiental no Extremo Sul da Bahia (1950-1970)
Authors: Santos Márcio Soares , Martins Herbert Toledo
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo aborda o processo de devastação da Mata Atlântica na região do Extremo Sul da Bahia. O objetivo deste artigo é estabelecer como o desenvolvimento socioeconômico do Extremo Sul da Bahia em sua fase inicial de formação regional, entre 1950 e 1970, é resultado da ação dos agentes econômicos promotores da devastação ambiental sem paralelo na história deste território, a saber: a indústria extrativista madeireira e a pecuária bovina extensiva. Não resta dúvidas que a destruição ambiental do Extremo Sul baiano foi resultado da ação antrópica. Mas imputar, abstratamente, os processos coetâneos de desenvolvimento econômico e devastação ambiental à ação humana é abstrair das forças concretas reais que conduziram à situação de devastação. Na região do Extremo Sul da Bahia a devastação foi resultado da expansão e acumulação do capital, personificado nas atividades econômicas supracitadas, sobre espaços não plenamente integrados dos circuitos da economia capitalista. A referência teórica da investigação é materialismo histórico-dialético. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, com base em fontes históricas bibliográficas, estatísticas, jornalísticas e de órgãos oficiais de governo. Os achados da pesquisa demonstram que a integração econômica da região baiana ao circuito dinâmico da economia do Sudeste brasileiro, sobretudo, após a conclusão da pavimentação asfáltica da BR-101 (1973), tem o condão de intensificar a produção de mercadorias e, portanto, de riqueza na região e, com isso, a ampliação contínua do capital e sua correspondente acumulação.

Published: May 2024

Devido a crescente preocupação com os impactos causados pelos cemitérios, este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar as características dos cemitérios verticais, através do estudo de caso realizado em um cemitério vertical localizado na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP). As informações sobre o empreendimento foram levantadas por meio de um questionário realizado com o supervisor de operações. O empreendimento foi construído em uma Área de Preservação Permanente. Devido cemitério ter sido implementado anteriormente à Resolução CONAMA 335 de 2003, o mesmo teve a dispensa da licença de instalação. Verifica-se que todos os subprodutos gerados nos processos de decomposição do corpo humano são tratados, não gerando impactos no ar, água e solo; os resíduos gerados nas atividades diárias também recebem a destinação correta. Nota-se que, mesmo havendo uma necessidade de adequações quanto a ocupação do espaço, como exemplo a recomposição da mata ciliar, o cemitério vertical apresenta-se como uma excelente alternativa para diminuir os espaços destinados aos jazigos, aproveitando muito mais o local, além de resolver o problema de superlotação nas necrópoles, como também gera menos impactos ao meio ambiente, pois os cadáveres são colocados em gavetas e assim não ficam em contato com o solo, e não há risco do principal contaminante, o necrochorume, contaminar o solo e águas subterrâneas.
Wiara w Kościół Trójjedynego Boga
Authors: Napiórkowski Andrzej
Published: May 2024

Pogłębienie rozumienia tajemnicy Kościoła domaga się podkreślenia kilku istotnychaspektów, jakie wprawdzie funkcjonują w eklezjologii, ale poprzez niewłaściwą interpretację nauczania Soboru Watykańskiego II bądź poszły w zapomnienie, bądź doznały wypaczenia. Stąd niniejszy artykuł przedkłada rozumienie Kościoła jako tajemnicyTrójjedynego Boga i tajemnicy człowieka w miejsce określenia „Kościół Chrystusa”.Nie oznacza to bynajmniej, że to określenie jest błędne, ale jest ono niepełne, gdyż pomija zaangażowanie Boga Ojca oraz Ducha Świętego i osoby ludzkiej. Nie ma Kościołabez Trójcy Świętej. Nie istnieje też Kościół bez człowieka. Współczesna eklezjologiamogłaby zyskać wiele, gdyby wprowadzono do niej w większym stopniu kategorie ojcostwa (eklezjogeneza starotestamentalna), pneumatyczności czy antropologii. Istotne jest także zagadnienie wiary w Kościół. A ponieważ ta eklezjalna rzeczywistośćjest Bosko-ludzka (teandryczna) pojawi się kwestia wiary nie tylko w Boga, ale wiaryw człowieka, która w eklezjologii jest jeszcze nieopracowana. Kolejnym fragmentemprzeprowadzonych analiz jest prezentacja wiary w jeden, święty, powszechny, apostolski oraz maryjny Kościół. Nowością jest tu ukazanie piątego znamienia Kościoła:maryjności. Artykuł wieńczą postulaty dla odnowionego ujmowania Kościoła (dekalogeklezjologiczny).
Święty Tomasz z Akwinu czytany przez współczesnych jezuitów
Authors: Kubacki Zbigniew
Published: May 2024

Niewielu myślicieli chrześcijańskich naznaczyło teologię tak, jak uczynił to św. Tomasz z Akwinu. Jego fides quaerens intellectum przynależy do najpiękniejszych kartTradycji Kościoła. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie, jak współcześni jezuici czytają i interpretują nauczanie Akwinaty i całej teologii tomistycznej o Trójcy Świętej. Artykułzawiera trzy punkty. W punkcie pierwszym pada stwierdzenie, że dzisiaj bardziej niżkiedykolwiek jezuici potrzebują mądrości i wiedzy braci dominikanów w czytaniui rozumieniu teologii Akwinaty. W punkcie drugim omówiona jest dyskusja międzywybranymi teologami dominikańskimi i jezuickimi nad tzw. Grudnaxiom sformułowanym przez Karla Rahnera. W punkcie trzecim, w oparciu o propozycję Josepha Moingta, ukazana jest koncepcja nieco innego niż Tomaszowe spojrzenia na relację międzyTrójcą immanentną i Trójcą ekonomiczną.
Problem początku świata w ujęciu teologii i kosmologii
Authors: Pabjan Tadeusz
Published: May 2024

Teologia i kosmologia to dyscypliny, w których inaczej podchodzi się do problemu początku świata. W pierwszej z nich problem ten postrzega się przez pryzmat teologicznejprawdy o stworzeniu świata przez Boga, w drugiej nie bierze się pod uwagę kontekstureligijnego, poprzestając na badaniu początków wszechświata opartym na metodziematematyczno-empirycznej. Ustalenia kosmologii dotyczące Wielkiego Wybuchu wydają się pozostawać w bezpośrednim związku z teologiczną prawdą o stworzeniu świata przez Boga. Czy jednak teolog mówiący o stworzeniu świata powinien uwzględniaćdane kosmologii dotyczące początku wszechświata i czy takie spojrzenie jest uprawnione z metodologicznego punktu widzenia? W artykule sformułowano odpowiedź nato pytanie. W pierwszej części tekstu wskazano na różnice pomiędzy kosmologicznąkoncepcją początku i teologiczną ideą stworzenia. Druga część poświęcona jest odniesieniu idei stworzenia do kosmologicznej teorii Wielkiego Wybuchu. W trzeciej częściprzedyskutowano problem zasady antropicznej, którą można potraktować jako argument przemawiający za słusznością kreacjonizmu ewolucyjnego.

Experimental Analysis of Pre-Forming Parameters on Abnormalities, Thickness, and Void Content of Glass/Epoxy Composite In VBO-Oven Cure Manufacturing
Authors: Md Hanafiah Nur Hafzareen , Othman Abdul Rahim
Published: May 2024

Autoclave-based production of composite laminates leads to extended time requirements, increased manufacturing expenses, and the accumulation of significant residual stress. These limitations have spurred research and innovation in seeking alternative out-of-autoclave (OOA) processing methods. The present study aimed to measure the impact of distinct and combined pre-forming parameters within the pre-forming process of vacuum bagging with oven curing (VBO-oven curing) on thickness, abnormalities, and void content in cured laminates of conventional, cost-effective glass/epoxy autoclave composite material. The abnormalities were analyzed using ultrasonic C-scan and thickness measurement was done to determine thickness variations. A burn-off test was employed to measure the void content. The relationship between processing parameters was subsequently investigated via analysis of variance (ANOVA). Higher thickness standard deviation was yielded at higher abnormality percentages in the C-scan results, resembling total discontinuities and non-uniformities.

ABSTRACT The future generation’s competency in the English language is highly dependent on the performance of our very own TESL students as they are the future English language teachers who must be efficacious to make all the difference. Hence, any issues that could jeopardize their performance can never be taken lightly. This research was carried out to investigate whether TESL students’ level of addiction to social networking sites (SNSs) influences their academic performance. A questionnaire was used to gather data from ninety-three Semester 8 TESL students from the Faculty of Education, UiTM Shah Alam. SPSS version 16.0 was used to analyse the data obtained. Despite the initial prediction that students’ addiction towards SNSs is interrelated with their academic performance, this study found that there is no significant relationship between the two aforementioned variables. The finding contradicts several other studies on the relationship between SNSs addiction and academic achievement. Keywords: Social Networking Sites (SNSs), Internet Addiction and Academic Performance

Veto (Geri Gönderme) Yetkisinin Anlamı, Türk Anayasalarında Düzenlenişi ve Yasama Fonksiyonunun Özellikleri Açısından İncelenmesi
Authors: Hamurcu Onur
Published: May 2024

Veto kurumu ile hatalı ya da hukuka aykırı olduğunu düşünülen kanunların bir kez daha görüşülmesi amaçlanır. Veto ve geri gönderme kavramı teknik anlamda iki farklı kavramdır. Bu farklılık ikinci görüşmedeki kabul sayıları açısından ortaya çıkmaktadır. Şayet ikinci görüşmede aynı metin farklı bir çoğunluk öngörülmeden kabul edilebiliyorsa burada bir geri gönderme yetkisinin varlığından bahsedilmektedir. Bununla birlikte ilk kabulden daha farklı bir çoğunluk öngörülmüş ise burada bir veto yetkisi söz konusudur. Cumhuriyet öncesi dönemde mutlak veto şeklinde karşımıza çıkan durum mevcut haliyle güçleştirici veto yetkisine evrilmiştir. Yasama organının özellikle aslilik ilkesi kapsamında veto yetkisinin bir geri gönderme biçiminde düzenlenmesi, olası siyasi çatışmalardan kaçınmak adına Cumhurbaşkanına kanunların yürürlüğü öncesinde, iptal davası açma yetkisi vermek ve kanunlaşan metni yürürlüğe girmeden yargı denetimine tabi kılmak gibi alternatiflerin düşünülmesi son derece önemlidir.
