Parental public pedagogy: A Polish leader about being together, where action is possible and freedom can emerge
Authors: Mendel Maria
Published: August 2023

The study of the current parental grass-roots movement, the initial report of which I present in this paper, focuses on the leader of this movement in Poland. The interview with her is the basis of the case study through which I argue that parents create a public pedagogy. By focusing on the common good, this pedagogy puts them against the ongoing practices of denying human and civil rights in Poland, and towards a democratic formula of social coexistence both at school and beyond it, in a public sphere that has currently appropriated by the radical right-wing discourse. The conclusions grounded in the Gert Biesta’s concept of public pedagogy, and parents are construed as force capable of transforming the dominant "pedagogy for the public" (when people ought to be taught how to be in public space) into a “public pedagogy in the interest of publicness”. The latter manifests itself as concern for the common good.
Status Review of Namdapha National Park, India: Need for Strengthening Community-Conservation Linkages
Authors: Deb Panna , Sundriyal Rakesh
Published: August 2023

The North East India is among the most significant global hotspots of biodiversity, and state of Arunachal Pradesh covers 32% of total area of the region. In comparison to the other neighbouring states and countries, large areas of the State of Arunachal Pradesh are under intact forest cover that provides unique opportunity to conserve biodiversity within the protected areas. This paper analyses the status of biodiversity and management of Namdapha National Park, which is also a Tiger Project and is under the active consideration of Biosphere Reserve Status. The Park falls among the select relict rainforest patches of high global significance, and has been identified as an epicenter of high endemism and biodiversity with over 1119 plants and 1399 faunal species in an area of 1985 km2 (elevation variation 200-4570 m above sea level). It also provides unique habitats to four Wild Cats (Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and Clouded Leopard) and only Ape (Hollock Gibbon) in India, thus conservation of this Park has larger implications not only for India but for whole of the South-east Asian countries. There has been communities living around the Park, a few settlements within the Park area are of major concern for the conservation of biodiversity. Besides, grazing, hunting, and NTFPs collections, particularly in the fringe areas, are other major threats to the biodiversity of the Park. The management suffers due to lack of proper infrastructure, enough manpower and trained personnel, which has been a major constraint in recent times. The paper highlights the need of strengthening community conservation linkages by educating people and addressing the issues of settlement, NTFP collection and hunting involving local communities in the management of Park around its buffer zone I addition to building capacity of Park management staff. Preparing comprehensive eco-development programmes for different areas and communities in and around the Park is an important issue to address long-term management of the area.

Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) are one of the major diseases that cause severe illness and death among the wider population. More than 30,000 deaths are reported each year due to CAUTI. These infections are caused due to different biofilm- forming species such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), Candida spp, Klebsiella spp, Proteus spp, Bacteroides spp, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterobacter spp. This study examined the growth of two major uropathogenic (E. coli and E. faecalis) strains on catheter surfaces under antibiotic-treated and untreated conditions. The antibiotics used for this study are Ciprofloxacin and Doxycycline, which are considered to be broad-spectrum antibiotics. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assay was performed to identify the concentration at which these antibiotics show efficient inhibition. The results show that both antibiotics have an inhibitory effect on single and dual-species biofilms. However, E. coli is more resistant to Doxycycline (MIC: 100 μg/mL), whereas E. faecalis is more resistant to Ciprofloxacin (MIC: 50 μg/mL). Interestingly, the dual-species cultures are more susceptible to both antibiotics at lower concentrations, 5μg/mL. Furthermore, a CFU assay was performed to quantify the results obtained, and a similar trend could be observed with around a 4-fold reduction in bacterial colonies when catheters are coated with antibiotics. In addition, the antibiotic-coated catheters contribute no pathogen contamination to the environment.

Manure decomposition from animal waste, including farm sludge, is a significant source of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, aggravating global warming. Addressing this issue is vital for the environment and pivotal in achieving sustainable development goals by combating pollution from agricultural activities. One promising solution is biogas production, which offers threefold benefits including mitigation of global warming, assurance of energy security, and efficient waste management. This can be achieved by optimizing the process using substrates that yield high biogas output while ensuring low water usage and retention. This study focuses on pig farms' biogas potential of liquid and solid manure fractions performed with laboratory-scale batch digesters and enhanced polyethylene tubular digesters for evaluation. From the screening system, the biogas output from pig slurry resulted in CH4 and CO2 in 45 days, achieving 61.44 and 36.35%, respectively. After the initial screening experiment, polyethylene tubular digesters were implemented for biogas production at household pig farms and produced through fermentation in polyethylene tubular digesters under anaerobic conditions and are mainly composed of CH4 (60–64%) and CO2 (29–38%). This study suggested that the pig slurry could be a reliable biomass energy source for biogas and applicable to householders.

Develop an ECU for Controlling Fuel Injectors Using Arduino and LabVIEW for Training Purposes
Authors: Pham Tuan Anh , Tran Ngoc Huy Thinh
Published: August 2023

The technology of electronic motor control is now advancing rapidly. Many studies and applications have been done on automatic system control in vehicles. The automatic fuel injection control system for automobile engines is a unique area of study and instruction in universities. The engine will run more efficiently, use less fuel, and emit fewer emissions when the fuel injection system is precisely controlled. It is challenging for student research to evaluate improvements to engine performance on real engine controller units (ECUs). Since their ECUs are already set for specific automotive duties, it is challenging to run tests by modifying the ECU's input parameters. In this study, a programmable ECU was created to explore the characteristics of the fuel injection system using the open-source, low-cost Arduino microcontroller. Using LabVIEW software, the algorithmic program computes and graphically simulates the injector characteristics. This study determines the injector opening time and fuel volume injected using the data from the intake manifold pressure sensor, lambda signal, engine temperature, throttle position, engine speed, and exhaust gas sensor. The primary objective of this study was not to replace a real ECU. It was more beneficial for students to be able to equip themselves with tools and apply methodologies to perform many experiments at home rather than utilizing commercially available ECUs at exorbitant rates, thanks to the development of a low-cost ECU based on Arduino and LabVIEW in this study.

Authors: Nguyen Quang Tien , Le Trong Nghia , Phung Trieu Tan , Nguyen Hoang Minh Vu , Nguyen Thai An
Published: August 2023

This paper presents a short-term load forecasting model using the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model. The proposed model is based on data on loads and factors that directly affect electricity demand, such as temperature, humidity, load over time in the past, etc., collected from the electricity market ISO New England. In addition to the common factors, the article also considers a new factor: real-time price. The data used for training and forecasting are real-time data for three years from 2019 to 2021. The paper has shown that real-time price (RTP) significantly influences forecasting. The proof is that the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) value of the predictive model without RTP data is 2.08%, and that of the model with RTP data is 1.44%. The paper also compares the performance of the training algorithms with each other to come up with an optimal algorithm compared to the proposed model. At the same time, the model is also applied to forecast a more extensive period, such as a week or a month, and has had positive results.

Authors: Do Duc-Tri , Tran Vinh-Thanh , Phu Thi Ngoc Hieu , Phan Van Hoan
Published: August 2023

In modern industrial and power electronics applications, high-voltage and high-current integrated modular power transistors (IGBTs) are increasingly being utilized. The F-type inverter, which is a modified version of the T-type inverter, has emerged as a promising option. This configuration separates the common point of the bidirectional power switch, reducing voltage stress and resulting in lower inverter costs and losses. The F-type inverter has a simplified design and lower conduction losses, making it a viable choice for medium-voltage applications compared to the clamp diode NPC inverter configuration. Detailed analysis of losses and efficiency has been conducted, and a simulation and experimental prototype have been built to validate the theoretical basis. In addition, the voltage rating of the power switches in the T-type three-level inverter is a limiting factor, as it is only 50% of the input DC voltage for each inverter phase leg.
Design of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and a Genetic Algorithm Controller for Solar Photovoltaic Systems Using the Boost Converter
Authors: Vo Thanh Ha
Published: August 2023

The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and an integrated offline Genetic Algorithm (GA) are proposed in this research. The ANFIS and GA technologies are employed to find the optimum point for maximum capacity in any environmental condition. Furthermore, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize data, and optimized values are used to train ANFIS. The power from the PV source is routed via the standard PI-controlled boost converter, and its working point always follows the MPPT point. When the ambient temperature and illuminance vary, the power may rapidly achieve a new maximum value thanks to the GA-ANFIS-MPPT P&O algorithm, which permits adaptive adjustment of the perturbation step. The new algorithm also reduces oscillation over the whole working point of the MPPT and enhances the boost converter's output voltage quality. The adaptive GA-ANFIS-MPPT P&O algorithm's benefit is validated by simulation on MATLAB has a module string, one parallel string, and a 250W PV panel. According to simulation results, the proposed GA-ANFIS-based MPPT can consistently and efficiently monitor the maximum power point of PV modules across various weather conditions
A Computer Vision-Based Respiratory Rate Monitoring and Alarm System
Authors: Nguyen Thanh , Nguyen Tan-Nhu , Pham Viet-Cuong
Published: August 2023

Breathing rate is one of the most important vital signals for monitoring health status and reflecting conditions of dangerous diseases. Previous contactless breath monitoring methods were more convenient than contact methods, but they were not suitable for the actual sleeping environment because of the narrow field of vision (FoV). This study proposed a breathing rate monitoring strategy using a mono camera to track and detect sleep apnea phenomena. Breathing rates were first tracked among consecutive image frames. The human body area was then isolated and magnified using a deep neural network (DNN) model before applying the optical flow algorithm to extract and monitor the up and down changes caused by respiration. The most variated directions of the body feature’s motions were detected based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. Breathing rate was the number of times the signal amplitude peaks per minute. The comparison between predicted values and manually estimated was used for evaluating the accuracy of the method. The accuracy of our method in various light, position, and distance conditions is 2 breaths/minute (<10%) for children and less than 1 breath/minute (<5%) for adults. The study has two main contributions: (1) monitoring breathing rate at home gives comfortable feelings to patients and caregivers, expanding the potential of applying modern technology to clinics, (2) the study has solved the problem of tracking small movements in videos with relatively large FoV in real-time. Perspectively, we will be employed the method in a home-based respiratory rate monitoring system.

Integrating Gender Perspectives into International Humanitarian Law
Authors: Raju Nivedita , Bruun Laura
Published: August 2023

International humanitarian law (IHL) aims to limit the impacts of armed conflict through rules and protections. However, while IHL seemingly accords protection to ‘all persons’, it may fail to do so, especially on the basis of gender. In turn, failure to include gender perspectives in IHL can result in inaccurate assessments of civilian harm. This paper explores the missing gender perspectives in IHL and proposes that they be integrated with intersectional considerations. The paper first examines inherent gender bias in the wording of certain IHL rules, highlighting several issues including gender essentialism, limited distinction between sex and gender, and the need to overcome a binary approach to gender to ensure adequate protections for the LGBTQIA+ community. The paper also examines key rules of IHL which are particularly sensitive to bias in interpretation and application, including certain rules on weapons, the rules guiding the conduct of hostilities, and obligations to provide legal advice and legal training to the armed forces. Finally, the paper concludes with action points to more effectively integrate intersectional gender perspectives into IHL.

Authors: ZAPF LOVELY , ESPLANADA DEOGRACIAS EVANGELISTA
Published: August 2023

Prior to making any arrangements, travelers may examine other consumer evaluations on the hotels' websites, which provides them with a vital source of information about a hotel's good and negative characteristics. Customer satisfaction measures how well an organization's goods or services meet or surpass the expectations of its consumers. It is critical to remember that a company's market presence and development are essentially defined by its consumers. The majority of consumers book their hotel rooms through OTAs, or Online Travel Agencies, owing to the simplicity of use and lower pricing. As a result, Agoda.com is one of the most popular OTAs in the Philippines, offering convenient access to online bookings of hotels and apartment rentals in the nation. The goal of reviewing guest feedback is to determine whether the quality of service needs to be improved to boost consumer satisfaction and profitability. This study largely examined reviews and discovered that there were more negative than positive replies for chosen apartment hotels in Metro Manila listed on Agoda. According to the previous study, the researchers did a study on using a travel service (OTA) stage; researchers investigate the links between administration quality, perceived value, and lodging customer retention. Their review's findings support all direct and indirect links between three, four, and five-star inns. The reviews were manually classified and analyzed using sentiment analysis and statistical approaches as part of the process. The results indicated positive as well as negative characteristics across all categories.
PERIPROSTHETIC JOINT INFECTION AFTER WIDE RESECTION BONE TUMOR AND ENDOPROSTHETIC RECONSTRUCTION IN A PATIENT WITH OSTEOSARCOMA: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Veerapan Puwadon , Watcharamasbonkkot Sittichoke
Published: August 2023

Bone and connective tissue cancer treatment has been improved to achieve a significant survival rate. Limb salvage surgery, an efficient surgical technique, has been established to preserve limbs. Endoprosthesis reconstruction constitutes an essential part of the treatment method, and the attending medical team requires knowledge to reduce the side effects of this operation. The consequential infection is a common complication, often leading to worse use of the limbs when finishing the treatment. This report describes a patient presenting an infection in a prosthesis after endoprosthesis reconstruction using a limb salvage surgery technique. Due to the comprehensive resection surgery, the typical structure has been significantly damaged, which could lead to a high risk of neurovascular structure damage during adequate debridement and lead to the need for amputation. Thus, the decision to treat an infection resulted in patients undergoing multiple surgeries and reducing their functional outcomes until crucial. These patients should be carefully monitored to prevent infection and obtain a good quality of life in the long term.

Published: August 2023

This study's main goal is to evaluate the effect of microfinance on Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Gujarat by using the Gujarat as a case study. The simple random sampling procedure was used to choose the 60 MFIs and 140 SMEs that made up the sample size for the study. A structured questionnaire was created to make it easier to gather pertinent data for analysis. Data presentations and analysis have strategically used descriptive statistics, which uses straightforward percentage graphs and illustrations. The study's conclusions show that a sizable portion of SMEs are aware of MFIs' existence, and some recognize the beneficial effects of MFI loans in encouraging their growth. In addition to providing financial assistance, it is advised that microfinance institutions always offer expert guidance to SMEs since this will help them determine if the amount they are requesting is too much or too little for the project. The microfinance institutions should hold seminars and workshops to inform SMEs about their policies, the wise use of money for SMEs, and the criteria used to evaluate loans. To gain the faith and trust of SME's, the microfinance banks should also start additional development initiatives.

Pelaksanaan sistem lelang secara elektronik atau e-Procurement di Dinas Pekerjaan Umum Provinsi Papua berjalan sejak tahun 2010, terbatas pada proyek atau kegiatan-kegiatan fisik, kemudian tahun 2014 pelaksanaan e-Procurement dapat dilakukan pada semua proyek/kegiatan. Dalam pelaksanaan e-Procurement di Dinas Pekerjaan Umum Provinsi Papua yaitu pada saat proses pemilihan penyedia barang/jasa mulai dari awal sampai dengan penetapan pemenang, menemui beberapa kendala yang mempengaruhi waktu selama proses pemilihan penyedia jasa, seperti kesiapan sumber daya manusia dan infrastruktur, belum adanya peraturan daerah yang mendukung pelaksanaan e-Procurement, sehingga berdasarkan pengamatan terlihat timbul permasalahan dalam penerapannya seperti susahnya untuk melakukan up-load atau mendownload data karena jaringan internet yang lambat, terjadi penumpukan pekerjaan karena hanya beberapa orang saja yang mengerti tentang e-Procurement, panitia pengadaan belum memiliki dasar hukum yang jelas apabila terkait dengan masalah daerah misalnya adanya permintaan kuota pengusaha Papua. Jenis dari penelitian hukum ini adalah penelitian yuridis normatif yaitu melalui analisis dan kajian terhadap Peraturan Perundangan yang berlaku, penelitian kepustakaan (library research) untuk memperoleh data-data baik yang bersumber kepada berbagai data dan informasi yang di keluarkan oleh  pemerintah; tulisan para ahli dalam bentuk buku, jurnal, artikel lepas, surat kabar, maupun informasi yang tersebar di dunia maya; pengalaman para praktisi dan pengambil putusan; kebijakan dan regulasi nasional yang terkait dengan proses pengadaan barang dan jasa pemerintah. Secara umum pada tahapan evaluasi penawaran dan kualifikasi telah memenuhi prinsip transparansi, akuntabilitas, terbuka, bersaing dan adil/tidak diskriminatif.seperti tertuang dalam Perpres Nomor 17 Tahun 2019. Namun dari hasil penelitian masih ada yang kurang maksimal dalam pelaksanaannya, dimana adanya persepsi bahwa intervensi masih ada dilakukan terhadap pokja ULP. Hambatan/kendala teknologi dalam penelitian ini adalah kecepatan akses internet yang lambat merupakan faktor yang dapat menjadi penghambat dalam pelaksanaan e-Procurement.
Applying three decades of research to mitigate the impacts of hemlock woolly adelgid on Ontario’s forests

Over the past 70 years, the introduced, invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae Annand) has become established and caused considerable decline and mortality of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.) across much of the tree’s natural range. Hemlock is a foundation tree species with little inherent resistance to this exotic species and infestation by this sap-feeding insect results in progressive crown decline and tree mortality within 4 to 15 years. Continued climate warming favours the spread of this insect to Ontario and other areas at the northern edge of hemlock’s range. More than 30 years of basic and applied research directed towards control and mitigation of damage by this insect indicates that the rate of development of hemlock decline and mortality depends on climate, site, and stand factors that affect both insect performance and hemlock vigour. Here we synthesize these research findings to provide science-based management recommendations to (1) increase the resilience of Ontario’s hemlock forest resource to this insect before it spreads, (2) mitigate hemlock woolly adelgid damage once it gets established, and (3) facilitate degraded hemlock forest restoration.

Secara teori apabila pertumbuhan ekonomi meningkat maka meningkat pula penyerapan tenaga kerja, namun dari data yang dianalisa selama 30 tahun terakhir di Provinsi Sumatera Barat berdasarkan data dari (Badan Pusat Statistik) BPS, meningkatnya pertumbuhan ekonomi tidak menyerap tenaga kerja dengan baik sehingga tidak sesuai dengan teori. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis seberapa besar pengaruh pertumbuhan ekonomi dan tingkat pendidikan terhadap penyerapan tenaga kerja di Provinsi Sumatera Barat. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode kuantitatif dengan memakai data sekunder dari (Badan Pusat Statistik) BPS Provinsi Sumatera Barat Tahun 1992-2021. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan teknik dokumentasi dan studi pustaka. Selanjutnya data dianalisis dengan Uji Asumsi Klasik yang meliputi Uji Autokorelasi, Uji Normalitas, Uji Multikolinearitas, dan Uji Heteroskedastisitas, Uji Analisis Regresi Linear Berganda, Uji Koefisien Determinasi (R-Square), Uji Hipotesis t dan Uji Hipotesis f. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa 1) variabel pertumbuhan ekonomi tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penyerapan tenaga kerja di Provinsi Sumatera Barat. 2) variabel tingkat pendidikan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penyerapan tenaga kerja di Provinsi Sumatera Barat. Nilai R-Square sejumlah 0,926 atau 92,6% sedangkan sisanya sejumlah 0,074 atau 7,4% disebabkan oleh variabel independen berbeda yang tidak dimasukkan pada penelitian ini, seperti tingkat upah, pertumbuhan penduduk, dan investasi. Tidak berpengaruhnya pertumbuhan ekonomi pada penyerapan tenaga kerja diakibatkan meningkatnya migran masuk ke Provinsi Sumatera Barat dan adanya budaya atau kebisaan masyarakat Sumatera Barat untuk pergi merantau ke luar daerah asalnya untuk mencari kerja.
