ADSORPTION OF DIBENZOXAZEPINE GAS ON TRANSITION METAL-DOPED SILICON CARBIDE NANOTUBES: A THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION
Authors: Tabtimsai Chanukorn , Bootwong Chonpakorn , Saramakhom Thanakrit , Wanno Banchob
Published: December 2023

Dibenzoxazepine (CR) molecule is highly toxic gas, therefore, the development of highly sensitive materials for their adsorption and detection is desirable. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation was performed to study the adsorption behavior of CR gas on the pristine and transition metal (TM=Sc, Ti, Y, Zr, La, and Hf) –doped silicon carbide nanotubes (SiCNT) at both Si and C sites. The most stable adsorption configurations, adsorption distances, adsorption energies, charge transfers, energy gaps, orbital distributions, and density of states are obtained to understand the impacts of CR gas on the adsorption abilities and electronic properties of the pristine and TM–doped SiCNT surfaces. The results show that the pristine SiCNT exhibits low adsorption ability to CR gas. Conversely, the SiCNT doping with TM atom at Si and C sites enhances adsorption ability to CR gas. The strong adsorption of CR gas on TM–doped SiCNT surface is due to more favorable orbital interaction as well as shorter adsorption distance and larger charge transfer than pristine SiCNT. Moreover, the results reveal that the adsorption of CR gas significant changes in the electronic properties of TM–doped SiCNT. Therefore, the doping of TM atoms on SiCNT at both Si and C sites could enhance the adsorption ability and suitable for use as sensors for detecting CR gas.
AUTOMATED ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA CELL CLASSIFICATION USING OPTIMIZED CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK
Authors: H. Choudhury Taffazul , Choudhury Bismita
Published: December 2023

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common variant of paediatric cancer that creates numerous immature white blood cells affecting the bone marrow. Manual diagnosis of leukemia from microscopic evaluation of stained sample slides is an exhausting process, which is less accurate and susceptible to human errors. Additionally, identifying the leukemic blast cells under the microscope is complicated due to morphological similarity with the normal cell images. In this paper, we proposed an automated method to analyse the blood smear images using Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and classify the leukemic blast cells and normal cells. We have analysed the performance of machine learning and deep learning models such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm (kNN), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). For classifying ALL and normal cell images, kNN achieved an accuracy of 94.4%, SVM, and ANN achieved an accuracy of 98.6%, and CNN achieved an accuracy of 99.6%. SVM achieved the highest sensitivity of 100%.

Effect of pretreatment with efficient microorganisms on anaerobic digestion of rice drying residue
Authors: Espinosa Negrín Ana María , López González Lisbet , Jiménez Hernández Janet
Published: December 2023

Rice drying generates large amounts of impurities which has been previously studied for biogas production with unfavorable results due to its high lignocellulosic content. This research aimed to assess the effect of the pretreatment and bioaugmentation with efficient microorganisms on the anaerobic digestion of rice drying residue, and the kinetics of methane production. For the study, rice drying residues were pretreated for 48 hours with efficient microorganisms diluted 1:100, in a relation of 18 mL gVS-1 of substrate; while for bioaugmentation microorganisms were added directly to the reactors. The kinetic behavior of the digestion process was described through four models of first and second order. The highest methane yield was obtained with pretreated residues (363.7 LN kgVS-1), being 9.9% higher than that of the substrate without pretreatment. Bioaugmentation did not show significant differences. All the models fitted well with the experimental cumulative methane yield data, but the Hill modified model had the best fit in all cases. The study shows that the use of efficient microorganisms is an attractive option to increase waste degradation in anaerobic digestion processes.
Kurmacayla Tarihyazımı Arasında Türkiye’de Mimarların Yaşam Anlatıları
Authors: BANCI Selda
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışma, mimarlığın geçmişle ilişkisinde biyografik anlatıların aracılığını tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Tarihyazımının eski ve köklü yazın türlerinden biri olan biyografi (yaşamöyküsü), mimarlık tarihyazımının geçmişi anlama ve yeniden kurma çabasında çokça başvurduğu üretken ve ilham verici yollardan biridir. Biyografi, otobiyografi, hatıra, nehir söyleşi, gezi notları olarak sınıflayabileceğimiz, mimar monografisi ve mimarın bütün eserleri (oeuvre complete) gibi yayın türlerinde izleri takip edilen, bir bireyi ve/ya yaşamöyküsünü merkezine alarak kurulan bu anlatılar, edebî yazınla tarihyazımı arasında gider gelir. Bir diğer deyişle bazı yaşamöyküleri edebiyat, bazıları ise tarih alanına aittir. Ne var ki yaşamöyküsel anlatı, tarihyazımının doğasında var olan ve mimarlığı tarihsel bir perspektifle analiz etmede sıklıkla karşımıza çıkan makro-tarih ve mikro-tarih, nesnellik ve öznellik, kurmaca ve olgusallık, geçmiş ve şimdi, birey ve toplum tartışmalarına doğrudan temas eder ve bunlardan doğan açılımlardan beslenir. Bu nedenle, tarihyazımı ve biyografinin uzun yıllara dayanan ilişkisine, benzerlikleri ve farklılıklarına dair antik çağdan günümüze uzanan tartışmalara rağmen biyografik anlatı, yöntem ve olanaklar çerçevesinde halen güncel bir tarihyazımı yöntemi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Son dönemde Türkiye’de, uluslararası ortamdaki gelişmelere paralel bir şekilde biyografi çalışmalarına duyulan ilginin arttığı gözlemleniyor. Biyografik anlatının popülerleşmesi, çeşitlenmesi ve yaygınlaşması mimarlık alanını da etkilemektedir. Bu, aynı zamanda bize mimarlık tarihi yazımı ile biyografik anlatılar arasındaki çok katmanlı, karmaşık ilişkiyi (yeniden) düşünme fırsatı veriyor. Bu bağlamda amacım, yaşamöyküsel anlatıların mimarlık tarihyazımındaki rolünü mimarların otobiyografileri aracılığıyla incelemektir. Burada bireyin kendi öyküsünü kurduğu anlatıların tarihyazımına getirdiği (yeni) açılımlar ile yönteme dair sorunların tahlili çalışmanın merkezinde yer alıyor. Çalışma, tarih(yazımı) ve biyografi arasındaki ilişkiyi ele alan mevcut yazının ve ortaya koyduğu kuramsal çerçevelerin analizine dayanarak mimarlık tarihyazımı için bir altlık ve mimarlık alanındaki (oto)biyografi çalışmaları için bir temel oluşturmayı deniyor.

Authors: Ehiorobo Edwin King , Gbadebo Adedeji Daniel
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The aim is to examine how water temperature influence the coefficient of performance (COP) of a dual-source heat pump (DSHP) and to show how water temperature influence the relationship between heating capacity and power consumption of the DSHP.
 
Methods: An experimental method to examine an installed 5kW DSHP system with an attached converters and other connected components, which arrangement properly controls for the indoor temperature and relative humidity of the laboratory.
 
Results and Conclusions: The findings reflects that the COP of the DSHP pumps increases at low water temperature. As water temperature increases, the heat loss to water and compressor power consumption decreases, and in turn reduce the COP. The average temperature increases from 36.55oC to 59.15oC and COP reduces, by 40%, from 2.83–1.12.
 
Implications: The implication is that the DSHP which is shown to be energy efficient is environmentally friendly, and as a result, would remain very useful in the fifth generation of heating systems with the use of smart technology in future.
 
Originality/Value: The value of the article lies in its focus on the performance of the DSHP as an energy and efficiency device for in heating and cooling in buildings.

Published: December 2023

Эффективным способом профилактики или коррекции недостаточного поступления с пищей меди, железа и марганца является широкое использование в питании различных групп населения биологически активных добавок к пище и обогащенных пищевых продуктов. Для получения фортифицированных микроэлементами продуктов питания требуются исследования в области получения безопасных для человека и животных обогащенных микроорганизмов. Цель данной работы состояла в биотехнологических возможностях получения хлебопекарных дрожжей Saccharomyces cerevisiae, обогащенных медью и железом. Проведена сравнительная оценка дрожжевых штаммов из коллекции ВНИИПБТ на показатели качества и технологические характеристики (накопление биомассы весовым методом, содержание сырого протеина в биомассе по Къельдалю, содержание эргостерина спектрофотометрическим методом, мальтазную и зимазную активности, осмочувствительность). Отобран штамм Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y-581 с максимальным содержанием эргостерина в биомассе 10,8 г/100 г АСВ и содержанием белка 51,8 % в качестве перспективного для обогащения выбранными микроэлементами. На основе более высокой биодоступности при пероральном введении (80-90 %) обоснован выбор солей железа, меди и марганца в виде сульфатов для обогащения ими хлебопекарных дрожжей. Разработан алгоритм встраивания микроэлементов в субклеточную структуру дрожжей на стадии культивирования с введением солей в состав питательной среды на основе расчета суточной потребности в данных микроэлементах. Обогащенная микроэлементами биомасса пекарных дрожжей представляет собой безопасный и биологически ценный пищевой ингредиент и может применяться как самостоятельная добавка или как компонент для ввода в пищевые системы

Authors: S. Lavanya
Published: December 2023

Drug addiction is one of the major social evils. A large number of people, irrespective of their age are falling prey to drugs because of various factors. Many works have been written on the substance abuse and their resultant crimes. The Crack Epidemic of the United States remains one of the major incidents related to drug consumption and addiction in the nation’s history. Octavia Estelle Butler’s novel Parable of the Sower deals with drug addiction as one of its sub-themes in the future Earth. Parable of the Sower is widely acknowledged because of its relevance in today’s time. Butler presents a dystopic future where environmental and climactic changes wreak havoc in the lives of people. In addition to this, the humans butcher each other because of the addiction of pyro drug, which makes them enjoy fire literally. The aim of this paper is to analyze Butler’s Parable of the Sower as the pyro epidemic novel, which highly resembles the crack epidemic of the United States in the later part of the twentieth century.
Introspecting The Life of Tribal Women in Mahasweta Devi’s Rudali and The Hunt
Authors: Shubhi Bhasin  , Pallavi Srivastava
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Mahasweta Devi is a distinguished Indian writer and an esteemed activist who worked hard to uplift the tribal communities. She has a deep knowledge of the socio-political condition of India. She is an iconoclast who, in her works focussed on the miserable condition of depressed and neglected classes and tribes. Her different stories and novels shower light on the day to day happenings in the interiors of our nation. She has also talked about the quest for equal rights for each and every individual, especially for females in terms of education, health facilities, employment opportunities and social well-being. The present paper discusses “’Rudali’ and ‘The Hunt’” in the light of atrocities done to the women in their tribes and the racist response given to them. Mahasweta Devi has portrayed the protagonists Sanichari and Mary Oraon, as the representatives of modern women searching for their own identity in the modern society. She presents the pitiable and pathetic condition of tribal women with their sorrows and sufferings and, more importantly, their infuriated inner self, which worked constructively to bring them to the level of mainstream individuals by injecting the sense of respect and appreciation for them.

The mean queue size and the probability of the server being idle have been derived. Some particular models have been derived. Some numerical models have been derived.
The INNOVATION – TECHNOLOGY – PERFORMANCE TRIAD IN THE STREAMING SERVICE INDUSTRY. AN EXPLORATORY STUDY
Authors: ILIESCU Denisa , IOANID Alexandra , ŢIGĂNOAIA Bogdan Dumitru
Published: December 2023

The term streaming defines the relatively ICT-based service of distributing data – as audio or video files – in a continuous stream via a wired or wireless connection from a transmitting source to receiving devices, carried out in a continuous flow. This innovative service is based on sets of technologies that allow the files (which are desired to be run) to be opened and run at the same time as they are loaded. As an exploratory study, this paper focus is to investigate the conceptual model of multidimensional innovation – technology – performance triad (in that sense of a triad of possible triads) in the disruptive industry of streaming services, an industry that has been little studied to date due to its recent emergence and development. Several characteristics related to the innovation – technology – performance triad are selected, and a comparative analysis is conducted across three leading companies in this industry – Netflix, Amazon and Disney. As result, a guiding set of best practices related to the three pillars of the triad innovation – technology – performance is suggested to the main stakeholders. Finally, the contributions and conclusions, the limitations of the study and the future research are highlighted.
THE ORIENTATION OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION TOWARDS THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: COVAȘ Lilia , SOLCAN Angela
Published: December 2023

Sustainable development represents one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, but, at the same time, it offers viable opportunities to countries, businesses, and the population, becoming a development model that allows, in an intelligent way, to benefit from economic, social and environmental advantages. Sustainable development goals promoted by the UN, are included on the agenda in many countries, including the Republic of Moldova. Several actions are being taken in the country to direct state strategies and policies toward implementing the SDGs while also noting certain deficiencies in this process. An essential role in this endeavour belongs to higher education institutions, which not only must promote sustainability but must undertake certain actions that will cause a change in this sense within society. Providing students, who are future entrepreneurs with the necessary knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, will allow them to contribute considerably to familiarizing this concept within the business environment and the population. For these reasons, a study was initiated to identify the level of knowledge of the principles of sustainable development and the current perceptions among students from the Business and Administration study program, Bachelor’s degree, and company representatives. An online questionnaire was distributed among students and practitioners to identify the attitudes, perceptions and knowledge regarding Sustainable Development. The answers provided by students and practitioners will allow us to determine the existing trends and to identify actions for the development of sustainable entrepreneurship in the Republic of Moldova. Identifying existing gaps will allow the adjustment of entrepreneurship education to the challenges and opportunities related to sustainable development. The study was carried out within the Erasmus+ project “Skills4future – Developing and improving the STEAM skills of students and teachers for curriculum innovation and sustainable development of higher education institutions and local businesses”, no. 101081787

Published: December 2023

Wetlands, as ecologically diverse regions that provide a range of important ecosystem services, are under threat from a range of environmental pressures, including floods, fires, and poaching. In addition to these challenges, wetlands face issues related to the health of their fish and bird populations and the stage of their vegetation. Addressing these problems requires an integrated approach that combines advanced monitoring technologies with targeted ecological actions. To effectively monitor and protect the Romanian Danube Delta, an integrated platform of modular solutions is proposed. This paper explores the development of a platform that combines advanced monitoring technologies with targeted ecological actions to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the Danube Delta. The platform addresses a range of issues, including the occurrence and control of floods, initiation and extinguishing of fires, detection, and control of poaching, monitoring of fish and bird populations and the stage of vegetation - with measures to help their development, monitoring and improving tourist activities, identifying pollution sources, and acting on them.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BETWEEN CONTROVERSIES AND REGULATIONS
Authors: ALEXE Cătălina-Monica , ALEXE Cătălin-George
Published: December 2023

The paper aims to present the results of the studies carried out over time worldwide, and especially in the last seven years, when the field of artificial intelligence begins to produce consequences of which human society begins to be aware, and for which it is imperative to the field to be regulated legislatively. In our country, Romania, the first National Strategy on AI was drawn up in 2019, but real concerns were manifested only in 2022. At the level of the European Union, the EU Act on AI of July 28th, 2023, wants to regulate work with AI. Academics are concerned about various unclear elements in the proposal, such as the broad definition of what constitutes AI, and fear the legal implications, in particular, for vulnerable groups such as patients and immigrants. The law classifies AI applications into four risk groups: low, limited, high, and unacceptable. The problem of bias in machine learning is likely to become more significant as technology spreads to critical fields such as medicine and law and as more people without deep technical understanding are tasked with implementing it. Some experts warn that algorithmic bias is already pervasive in many industries and that almost no one is trying to identify or correct it. Some solutions are mentioned to deal with the challenges caused by AI and rapid technological development affecting jobs.
POST-PANDEMIC BUSINESS EFFECTS AS EVOLUTION OF STRATEGIC THINKING: STRATEGIC NETWORKING AND DIGITAL ACCELERATION
Authors: SCARLAT Cezar
Published: December 2023

The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has had both global and local effects, at macro and micro levels, shock impact and long-lasting consequences, acting as a threat mainly, and sometimes turning as opportunity – even as an accelerator of existing digitalization trends – leading to shifts in business models, changes in processes, and alterations in operations. On top of these, this pandemic has significantly changed business course, thus marking the evolution of strategic thinking. In this regard the paper purpose is to investigate the effects of the corona-virus pandemic in a limited business area (strategy-linked and company-level). This paper is essentially qualitative. As methodology, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from pandemic start to-date (2020–2023), predominantly based on secondary research (literature survey, studies and statistical data) as well as primary research (observation completed with examples). The results are selectively presented in two sections: (i) business cooperation and networking; and (ii) technology acceleration and digitalization as strategy – as major post-pandemic strategy-linked business results. The main findings are highlighted and several provocative issues were launched. The study ends with conclusions, research limitations and further research paths
PROPOSED PRACTICES AND APPROACHES FOR ADDRESSING SOURCES OF CONFLICT IN CROSS-CULTURAL AND CROSS-FUNCTIONAL IT PROJECTS
Authors: SÂRBU BĂRAR Daniela-Anca
Published: December 2023

IT projects are becoming more and more complex, requiring a culturally and functionally diverse mix of individuals [1] to be part of the project teams and acknowledging that investment in diversity (including cultural) should be a “future focus for the post-pandemic world” [2] . On top of this, there are a few takeaways from the COVID pandemic also. If we look at it through the perspective of what it meant for the projects that had to find a solution, then we think of projects that had to deliver a product in an unprecedented short time, with people working in different domains, even interorganizational or private sector working with public sector (academic centres and government). If we look at it through the perspective of what it will mean from now on, we can say that during the COVID pandemic working remotely was a norm for the IT industry, so there was a big investment in improving the tools and processes that supported this and will continue to do so. In this context, where we foresee more and more cross-discipline, cross-functional and cross-cultural teams, we need to address the challenges of managing such a team, which could make the difference between failing fast or fostering innovation at its best. This paper`s central focus is the study of some of the biggest sources of conflict (when the IT project set-up involves teams that are cross-cultural and cross-functional) and addressing them in a more formal way, by proposing practices such as the use of an adapted team charter and a communication manifesto.

ULTIMUM REMEDIUM DALAM TINDAK PIDANA PAJAK DAERAH DI INDONESIA
Authors: Barus Leo , Pramana Yudha
Published: December 2023

Gap filosofis berupa ambiguitas  antara  keadilan dan kepastian hukum dalam konteks pajak daerah merupakan tantangan yang harus ditangani mengingat sanksi pidana dalam pajak daerah merupakan penal administrative law. Berdasarkan pendekatan yuridis normative, kajian konseptual ini menghasilkan dua kesimpulan.

Pertama, Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2022 tentang Hubungan Keuangan Antara Pemerintah Pusat dan Pemerintahan Daerah (UU HKPD)  tidak mengatur secara eksplisit hal penerapan prinsip ultimum remedium dalam menangani pelanggaran Wajib Pajak Daerah. Kedua, konsep prinsip ultimum remedium yang ideal dalam pajak daerah di Indonesia dilakukan dengan menggabungkan model ‘deterrence’ dan ‘accomodative’ terhadap empat tipologi Wajib Pajak secara umum, yaitu Wajib Pajak Patuh, Wajib Pajak yang Mencoba Patuh Meskipun Tidak selalu Berhasil, Wajib Pajak yang hanya Patuh bila Diawasi oleh Aparatur Pajak, dan Wajib Pajak yang sama sekali Tidak Patuh. Disarankan agar masing-masing daerah mengakomodir  prinsip ultimum remedium dalam peraturan daerahnya.

Raman Scattering for Label-Free Chemical Imaging
Authors: Schultz Zachary D.
Published: December 2023

Raman spectroscopy provides chemical information by detecting light scattered from a monochromatic source (such as a laser) at energies that correspond to molecular vibrations. Because Raman spectroscopy commonly uses visible lasers, the spatial resolution is approximately the same as what can be seen with an optical microscope. First demonstrated in the 1970s, coupling Raman spectroscopy with microscopes enabled the chemical information to be obtained from a focused laser spot. By moving the laser across the sample and recording the Raman spectrum at each location, images can be generated from changes in intensity at different Raman shifts that spatially characterize the molecules present. From the development of the Raman microprobe to today, advances in instrumentation have increased the speed, sensitivity, and spatial resolution of Raman microscopy. This article covers the fundamentals of Raman microscopy and how technological advances are enabling a variety of applications.

Published: December 2023

Toplumsal yaşamı derinden etkileyebilen doğal afetler, idarenin kolluk yetkilerini genişleten faktörlerden birisidir. 7269 sayılı Kanun, 6306 sayılı Kanun ve 5902 sayılı Kanun gibi kanunlarda doğal afetlerin etkisinin azaltılması ve ortadan kaldırılması hususunda idareye çeşitli yetkiler ve görevler verilmiştir. Tanınan yetkilerin önemli bir bölümü olağan dönemde çok fazla karşılaşılmayan yetkiler olduğu için bunlar, kanuni tabirle ‘olağanüstü yetkiler’ olarak ifade edilebilir. Doğal afetler aynı zamanda Anayasa’da olağanüstü hal ilan edilebilecek durumlardan birisi olarak düzenlenmiştir. Bu durumda doğal afet dönemleri, duruma göre ülkenin tamamında ya da bir bölümünde temel hakların ve hürriyetlerin olağan dönemlere göre daha fazla kısıtlanabildiği ve hatta durdurulabildiği dönemler olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. 2935 sayılı Olağanüstü Hal Kanunu’nda idarenin kolluk yetkilerinin daha da genişletildiği görülmektedir. Doğal afetler konusunda mevzuat ve yetkili organ çeşitliliği gözetildiğinde, sadece afetler konusunda yetkili ve görevli Afet Bakanlığının kurulması, yetkili olan diğer idari organlarla, üniversitelerle ve ilgili sivil toplum kuruluşlarıyla iş birliği yapılması, bakanlığın taşra örgütlerinin oluşturularak personel ve teçhizat eksiğinin tamamlanması, tüm afetlerle mücadelede etkinliği artıracaktır.

Processes and Effects of Mediated Communication on University Students
Authors: Zafar Amara
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study is to explore the perceptions of students on the mediated process and face-to-face communicative learning and how mediated communication affects the individuals – learners and employers. The research employs the qualitative method in the form of semi-structured interview questions to explore the perception of the students. The population of this study consisted of University students. The study's data have been analyzed thematically. It is a technique for descriptive statistics, but when codes are chosen and subjects are created from those patterns, interpretation is also involved. The results highlight how critical it is to learn from individuals who will be enrolled in distance learning, particularly at a time when several institutions are looking at innovative strategies to involve learners simultaneously on and off campus, discusses the significance of using facts to guide such choices instead of assuming what students will think or what they will desire. In contrast to the common assumption, individuals do not believe that online programs are simpler even though they do not yet believe that they are similar to face-to-face sessions. The bulk of enrollees are new to attending e-learning. Significant aspects of reported learning outcomes and contentment include communication in the elementary program, individual enthusiasm to engage in the sessions, course content, and instructional assistance and expertise. Online individuals’ participation is a better indicator of reported early education results since there is less opportunity for physical interaction during sessions.

Coal is the largest natural resource in Indonesia and has a vital role in global energy in various industries. PT Putra Perkasa Abadi (PPA), a mining contractor in South Kalimantan, faces problems with manual reporting being late and prone to errors. This project aims to speed up the digitization of the reporting process by providing PPA Team devices in the Heavy Equipment (A2B) and Support units. This is in line with the commitment of the PPA Mining Work Safety, Environment and Quality (K3PLM) Policy. This implementation starts from observation and data collection by selecting SS6 devices and creating designs for each unit. Continue with device installation, analyze problems, and repair installation. Following, carry out trials and socialize the use of the device to operators. With the implementation of the PPA Team application on the SS6 Monitor, Operators at PPA can independently input data on operational activities, including check-in / check-out units. It will reduce paper in operational reporting by providing an SS6 Monitor device. In addition, cost calculations can be adjusted to actual data, and operators can monitor unit Hour Meter (HM) data and operational activities directly on the SS6 Monitor. This reduces the duration of data input time, but also reduces the intensity of crowding on communication radios, and minimizes data input errors. Therefore, optimizing operational monitoring at PPA by installing devices on units can increase efficiency, including HM input for cost calculations, efficient unit HM reporting, fast check-in / check-out processes, digital unit breakdown reporting for more efficient communication, rapid digital validation of P2H, and moving from paper forms to digital tools for more sustainable work practices.
