Published: September 2023

The recent advancements in Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) transformed the conventional healthcare system into smart healthcare. By incorporating key technologies such as IoT and AI, medical services can be improved. The convergence of IoT and AI offers different opportunities in healthcare sector. The presented model encompasses different stages namely, data acquisition, pre-processing, classification, and parameter tuning. Heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally and early detection is crucial for effective management. Machine learning models have been developed to aid in the prediction of heart disease with LightGBM being one such model. This study aims to analyse the performance of LightGBM in predicting heart disease. LightGBM was implemented using Python, and the model was trained using the training set. The performance of the model was evaluated using several metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Further studies could be conducted to evaluate the model’s performance on larger datasets and to compare its performance with other machine learning mode. Diseases may have an impact on people both physically and emotionally, since getting and living with an illness can change a person’s outlook on life. An illness that affects several areas of an organism yet is not caused by an instant exterior damage. Diseases are frequently defined as medical disorders characterised by distinct symptoms and indicators. The most lethal illnesses in humans are arteria coronary disease, cerebrovascular disease and lower respiratory infections. Heart disease is the most unexpected and unpredictability. With machine learning, we can anticipate cardiac disease. To get high efficiency output, we employ CNN approaches.

Authors: G. Brenda , R. E. Franklin Jino , P Sherin Paul
Published: September 2023

Fire detection using computer vision techniques and image processing mainly considered for rescuing operation. Indeed, good accuracy of computer vision techniques can outperform traditional models of fire detection. Computer vision techniques are being replaced by deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Existing System has only been assessed on balanced datasets, which can lead to the unsatisfied results and mislead real-world performance as fire is a rare and abnormal real-life event. Also, the result of traditional CNN shows that its performance is very low, when evaluated on imbalanced datasets. Therefore, this proposed system use of transfer learning that is based on deep CNN approach to detect fire. It uses pre-trained deep CNN architecture namely VGG, and Mobile Net for development of fire detection system. These deep CNN models are tested on imbalanced datasets by considering real world scenarios. The results of deep CNNs models show that these models increase accuracy significantly and it is observed that deep CNNs models are completely outperforming traditional Convolutional Neural Networks model. The accuracy of Mobile Net is roughly the same as VGG Net, however, Mobile Net is smaller in size and faster than VGG

Authors: R. R Ramya , J. Banumathi
Published: September 2023

An accurate performance assessment approach is extremely useful for researching the electrical properties of PV production systems because of the high cost of PV modules. The nonlinear exponential coefficients that are typically used in conventional analytical PV models must have a significant number of unidentified properties discovered before they can be used. Voltage and current are the two separate inputs of the suggested ANFIS, and the outcome is the power output of each arrangement. The recommended model’s capability to analytically define current-voltage (I-V) and the conventional techniques for ANFIS-based routing ensure that the data is properly saved in the cloud. The ANFIS networks is trained using evaluation information from various PV array topologies. Results from simulations and experiments support the suggested techniques viability and efficacy.

Published: September 2023

A reliable, non-intrusive, and precise measurement of torque is essential for the dynamic performance and monitoring of rotating mechanical systems. This study helps in presenting a technique for the torque measurement that consists of two different shafts mounted on tapes of zebra and sensors that are optical on the rigid support. It is an adaptable design that is simple to install, thereby making it accurate for the use of advanced engineering applications. These measurements could be achieved by the enhancements of cross-correlation and rising edge detection techniques. It helps to enhance the performance of the systems under both variable and static conditions by increasing the torque inducer. Uncertainty measurement could be achieved with the help of GUM ISO. An analysis of Type A in the data provided in the experiments helps in providing a torque full-scaling of 0.30% and 0.90% in the approaches of cross-correlation, respectively. In this study, the statistical simulations have been performed with the help of Monte Carlo method with an expected 1.19% uncertainty.

Published: September 2023

This study sought to establish the influence of emotional exchange on team performance in non-governmental agricultural organizations in Kenya. The study adopted convergent mixed method research design which integrates quantitative and qualitative data and pragmatism philosophy. The target population was NGOs operating in the agricultural sector in Kenya whose list was obtained from NGO Coordination Board. Data was collected using questionnaire as the main tool with interview guide used to triangulate the results from employees in the sector. Results revealed that emotional exchnage in terms of gratitude, empathy, respect, and assertive accounts for 29.2% of team performance in Agricultural NGOs. Emotional exchange has a statisitcally signficant influence on team performance (t = 9.294, p<0.05) which implies that emotional exchange in terms of in gratitude, respect, empathy and assertion towards employees significantly impacts on team performance in the NGOs. As a result, the null hypothesis hypotheses was rejected and inferred that emotional exchange has a statistically significant influence on team performance in non-governmental agricultural organizations. It was thus inferred that emotional exchange (bring in the components of emotional exchange) has a significant influence on team performance in the sector. In lieu of this, it is recommended that the NGOs need to enhance stable emotions that create an environment that fosters productivity, while unstable emotions cause resource-draining effect that weakens employees' ability to remain engaged and innovative (should capture the constructs appropriately.
Obstacles to Women's Empowerment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: محمد هاله
Published: September 2023

There is no doubt that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been long overdue towards empowering Saudi women from their political rights, and this is due to the culture of society, which has had a negative impact towards delaying women's enjoyment of their political rights. It is worth noting that Saudi women began to participate in political and public life in general at the official and informal level through their membership in the Shura Council. On September 25, 2011, the King of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah bin Abdulaziz announced the approval of the participation of women in the membership of the Shura Council and municipal councils as a candidate and a vote. As a minimum, 20% of the Shura Council seats are reserved for women. The Kingdom's regulations do not include provisions that prevent women from occupying any of the higher positions, which confirms that there are no legal obstacles towards empowering women, and perhaps the recent amendment of legislation has had an impact in changing the culture of society towards empowering women. The study analyzes the legal impediments to women's exercise of their political rights, as the researcher relied on the descriptive approach that is based on the study of legal texts and internal regulations that dealt with women's political rights at the domestic level, reaching a result that seeks to challenge the most important obstacles to empowering women with all the political rights imposed on them by legislation and regulations Interior of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is worth noting that the Kingdom's Vision 2030 affirms the political empowerment of the many rights it carried to women and the protection that affirms respect and codification of women's political rights in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The first chapter reviews the political rights established for Saudi women in accordance with the legislation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the second chapter deals with the reality of Saudi women exercising their political rights in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and deals with obstacles to Saudi women empowering their political rights in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Authors: التوهامي عثمان
Published: September 2023

The researcher noted، through his work in the legal department of the university and also through his teaching of the courses of administrative law and the administrative judiciary of the Faculty of Law، that there are many problems related to career promotions for employees in all organizations، And due to the nature of these decisions, the discretion and rights of the staff member overlap, which puts the general authority in between applying administrative justice and the granting of functional rights. In this paper, the researcher discussed the basic conditions set by the legislator for promotion as well as administrative and judicial oversight of the administration's actions. In particular، through extrapolation of legal texts and judicial decisions, the administrative procedures used by the Department for the granting of career promotions were studied as well as the problems associated with these decisions and what guarantees are approved by the legislator to ensure that the Department does not deviate its authority from the public good. Also, judicial guarantees for employees' access to their occupational rights, this was done in two researches: the first is about the definition of promotion and its conditions and the second is about the administrative and judicial safeguards for career promotion.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: Accident or abuse play a role in the etiology of genital, anal and perineal traumas in children. It was aimed to evaluate the genital injury scores and treatment modalities of patients injured as a result of accidents. Methods: After the approval of the local ethics committee, the files of the patients who were treated for genital, anal and perineal trauma in a tertiar center between November 2011 and December 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. An evaluation was made by revealing the gender, age, mechanism of trauma, physical examination findings and treatment modalities of the patients. Results: In this period 59 patients including 30 male and 29 female were treated with mean age of 7.5 year. Genital injury score was determined in trauma caused by running, walking or falling on an object, falling off a bicycle, fighting and non-vehicle traffic accident. Penile hematoma, abrasion, tissue defect, scrotal edema-hematoma-pain, laceration, testicular pain, perineal-perianal laceration, labium majus-minus laceration, abrasion, tissue defect, hymen laceration, laceration in anal sphincter and rectal mucosa were observed. In addition to medical treatment, primary repair, perineoplasty, colostomy, anoplasty, hymenoplasty, sphincteroplasty and debridement were performed. Recovery was uncomplicated. Conclusion: The most common cause of trauma in children is falls, and patients with low genital injury scores on physical examination require medical treatment and/or primary repair with local anesthesia, while those with high levels require examination and surgical treatment under general anesthesia.

Published: September 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected health, the economy, and the food system across the United States (U.S.). This cross-sectional study examined the impacts of household income and job loss on food insecurity and food-related challenges among a sample of New Mexico residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The study was conducted by fielding an online survey from May through June 2020. Study participants were recruited via convenience sampling to complete a survey that included questions assessing job and/or household income loss, food insecurity, food-related challenges and worries, and strategies for acquiring food during COVID-19. The analysis included a series of multivariable logistic regressions that estimated the impact of household income and job loss on food insecurity, food-related worry and challenges, and strategies used to acquire enough food and food sources. Nine hundred and fifty-four respondents were included in the analysis. Results: Compared to no job disruption, job loss increased the odds of experiencing food insecurity, two out of three food-related challenges, food-related worry, participation in SNAP, and use of most (six out of eight) strategies to obtain enough food. Compared to no job disruption, a reduction in household income significantly increased the odds of experiencing food insecurity, all three food-related challenges, food-related worry, utilization of group meal services, growing their own food, and use of most (six out of eight) strategies to obtain enough food. Conclusion: Future research should continue to examine the economic impacts of COVID-19 on food access. Lessons learned during the pandemic can inform policy responses to future public health emergencies.

The perpetual growth model and the cost of computational efficiency
Authors: Heck Jean L. , Danielson Morris G.
Published: September 2023

The constant growth model (Gordon, 1962) plays an important role in the stock selection process for individual investors, in part, because of its computational simplicity. However, value estimates from the model can be highly dependent on cash flows to be received in the distant future. If future events might constrain a firm’s growth or lead to its demise, the unadjusted Gordon model can substantially overstate value. Because the model is less likely to misstate value for low-growth, high-payout firms, the ironic implication is that the model is most useful when its ability to value growth is needed least.
effects of health, family, and altruism on retirement savings
Authors: Starr Brian T.
Published: September 2023

Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this paper broadens the analysis of retire- ment savings by examining the effects of health, children, altruism, and family of origin attributes on the decision of whether to save for retirement and on how much retirement savings are accumu- lated. The presence of children in the household generally reduces the probability of saving for retirement. Poor personal or parental health diminishes retirement savings outcomes. Altruistic behavior generally presents as complementary to retirement savings, and the evidence suggests chil- dren of mothers who saved for retirement are more likely to do the same.
Cognitive ability impact on life insurance lapsation
Authors: Mulholland Barry S. , Finke Michael S.
Published: September 2023

Life insurance is an important household risk management and financial tool. Policy lapsation has economic effects on life insurance companies, policyholders, and beneficiaries that may be detrimental when these lapses are unexpected. Prior literature examined several hypotheses of life insurance lapse focusing mainly on macroeconomic factors using aggregate data and household microeconomic factors using household-level data. We introduce and test individual cognitive ability variables in a model of the life insurance voluntary lapse decision by individual policyholders using household-level data from the Health and Retirement Study. We find that one measure of cognitive ability, in particular, numer- acy, is related to the voluntary lapse decision. While controlling for numeracy, we find evidence that those individuals with higher levels of net worth are less likely to voluntarily lapse a policy which is consistent with the emergency fund hypothesis. We introduce a new measure of liquidity shock, kids moving home, into the model and find it has a strong positive relationship with the decision to voluntar- ily lapse a policy. Consistent with life insurance demand theory, we find that those who have recently entered retirement are more likely to lapse their policy.

Based on observations of municipal managers and consultants, the article examines a project group’s attempt to introduce artificial intelligence in municipal employment efforts. The distrust in the frontline employee mimics research traditions in studies of management and professions. In alignment with these research traditions, the data dream problematizes how human experience distorts political goals, impairs organizational value creation, is driven by individual coping strategies or professional interest and therefore does not provide appropriate welfare service.
Between politics and administration: Evidence from Danish local government
Authors: Steffensen Filip Strunge
Published: September 2023

Studies show that top civil servants in Danish local government emphasize giving political advice. This finding has been used to deduce information about the role that top municipal officials across countries play vis-à-vis politicians. The existing literature has examined this through questionnaires, but in this article, I propose studying role perceptions through interviews, which provide access to thick descriptions of the role of top officials. Through 12 interviews, I show that top municipal officials perceive their role as translators, liaisons and mediators, implying a frequent interaction between the political and administrative level. While officials find it important to serve the political level, it is also a central part of the role perception that they understand themselves as politically neutral. This creates a cross-pressure that officials try to balance by employing three strategies to shield them from inappropriate political interference: They seek advice, educate and restrict access.
Drømmen om datadrevet velfærd

Hvordan formes drømmen om potentialet i data og kunstig intelligens blandt ledere i den offentlige forvaltning, og hvilke roller tildeles frontlinjemedarbejderen i den datadrevne velfærd? Baseret på observationer af kommunale ledere og konsulentoplæg undersøger artiklen de datadrømme, som omgærder udviklingsarbejdet med at introducere kunstig intelligens i kommunale beskæftigelsesindsatser. Deres datadrømme indebærer en kritik af frontlinjemedarbejderen, som mimer den etablerede ledelses- og professionsforskning, hvor frontlinjemedarbejderens praksis problematiseres: I datadrømmene kritiseres frontlinjemedarbejderens dømmekraft for i udstrakt grad alene at være baseret på menneskelig erfaring, individuelle mestringsstrategier eller professionsbårne interesser og derfor ikke varetage borgerens behov, hvilket gør, at den organisatoriske værdiskabelse forringes.
Kvindens plads - betydning af køn i dagens Danmark
Authors: Dalskov Pihl Mie , Wier Mette
Published: September 2023

I disse år fylder den offentlige debat om kønsroller og sexisme – og konsekvenserne for ligestilling – mere, end det har været tilfældet i en årrække. I dette temanummer tager vi temperaturen på tingenes tilstand. En række bidragsydere giver overblik og lægger op til debat. Udgivelsen af temanummeret falder sammen med kvindernes internationale kampdag 8. marts, men debatten må meget gerne vare mindst lige til mændenes internationale kampdag d. 19. november.
Strukturelle rammer eller forventningerne til de to køn? Hvad er afgørende for arbejdslivs/ familielivsbalancen?
Authors: Pedersen Lisbeth , Holt Helle
Published: September 2023

Forudsætningen for at forene familieliv og arbejdsliv er vidt forskellig på tværs af lande med forskellige institutionelle rammer omkring familielivet. Alligevel ser man en generel trendmæssig stigning i kvindernes erhvervsfrekvens i hele den vestlige verden. Denne artikelpræsenterer på baggrund af en international antologi eksempler på, hvordan mødre og fædre forholder sig til rollen som henholdsvis forsørger og omsorgsperson i lande, hvor kvindernes erhvervsfrekvens stiger, og hvor de institutionelle rammer skaber forskellige betingelser omkring de to roller. Artiklen bruger antologiens eksempler til at vise, hvordan de kulturelle holdninger og forventninger spiller sammen med – og mod – de institutionelle rammer.
Debatindlæg: Hvad giver merit – og hvad burde give merit?
Authors: RIMESTAD LENE
Published: September 2023

Er universiteterne et meritokrati, når det tilsyneladende kun er nogle bestemte mennesker, der »fortjener« en karriere? Jeg mener helt klart nej og kommer her med mine anbefalinger til at ændre det dysfunktionelle system, der favoriserer dem, der allerede er i akademia.
Omfanget af voldtægt og politiets behandling af voldtægtssager
Authors: KYVSGAARD BRITTA
Published: September 2023

I 2016 blev der med 11 måneders mellemrum præsenteret to udspil vedrørende ofre for især voldtægt – først fra justitsminister Søren Pind, der i januar 2016 lancerede udspillet »Respekt for voldtægtsofre«, og senere i december samme år kom udspillet »Retfærdighed for ofre« fra justitsminister Søren Pape Poulsen. I begge udspil fokuseres der på politiets håndtering af sagerne og på at sikre, atvoldtægtsforbrydelser anmeldes til politiet. I forlængelse af udspillene blev der blandt andet igangsat en undersøgelse af ofres oplevelse af anmeldelsessituationen samt en undersøgelse af, hvad der har betydning for, om ofre anmelder et seksuelt overgreb til politiet. Samtidig blev der udarbejdet centrale retningslinjer for politiets modtagelse og behandling af voldtægtssager. Med udgangspunkt i en redegørelse for omfanget af og udviklingen i udsathed for voldtægt skal der ses på, om ofrenes oplevelse af kontakten med politiet har ændret sig efter udmøntning af de nye retningslinjer.
COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on air transport flows of European regions.
Authors: Schwarze Björn , Spiekermann Klaus
Published: September 2023

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on air passenger traffic was dramatic with reductions in numbers that have never been seen before since flying became a mass mode for medium and long distance travel in Europe. Air freight transport was less affected. This paper sheds light on these impacts with high temporal and spatial resolutions. The novelty of this analysis compared to other reflections on air transport in COVID-19 times is that it not only looks at total volumes of air transport in Europe, European countries and single airports, but also focuses on the spatial interaction between European regions in terms of air transport flows for passengers and freight.
Turning the moral compass towards transformative research ethics: An inflection point for humanised pedagogy in higher education
Authors: Singh S
Published: September 2023

Ethical guidance in research is underpinned by the need to show respect for study participants by upholding autonomy in participant decision-making, and confidentiality and protection of individual rights, privacy and interests, yet decision-making could also be influenced by the participant’s sociocultural and belief systems. This calls for a more Africanised approach to research ethics where these values and beliefs are upheld. While national and international ethics guidelines do exist, there is little evidence that such a paradigm shift in research ethics is adequately interrogated in the teaching and learning curricula in higher education, where research skills are developed and nurtured. Critical reflection is used to highlight opportunities to stimulate learning and debates underpinned by humanised pedagogy in higher education.
PREKRŠAJI PROTIV JAVNOG REDA I MIRA I PRAVO NA SLOBODU KRETANJA U PREKRŠAJNOM ZAKONODAVSTVU REPUBLIKE SRBIJE
Authors: JELIČIĆ Mladen
Published: September 2023

Autor u radu analizira pravo na slobodu kretanja kao osnovno ljudsko pravo i prekršaje protiv javnog reda i mira kojima se ovo pravo povređuje ili ugrožava. Ukazano je na konstitutivne elemente prava na slobodu kretanja po pozitivnim propisima Republike Srbije i relevantnim međunarodnim dokumen- tima. Predmet interesovanja autora su prekršaji iz Zakona o javnom redu i miru čijim izvršenjem se ometa kretanje građana na javnom mjestu. S tim u vezi, autor posebnu pažnju posvećuje analizi bića pojedinih prekršaja protiv javnog reda i mira dovodeći ih u vezu sa ograničavanjem prava na slobodu kretanja. Na kraju, autor daje prijedloge koji mogu doprinijeti da prekršajnopravna zaštita prava na slobodu kretanja u Republici Srbiji bude efikasnija.
PRAVO NA SLOBODU KRETANJA – KADA SU INTERESI POJEDINCA I DRUŠTVA SUPROTSTAVLJENI?
Authors: MITROVIĆ Ljubinko , MARIĆ Tamara
Published: September 2023

Pravo na slobodu kretanja predstavlja jedno do osnovnih nače- la na kojem se zasnivaju život i rad građana Evropske unije, posmatrano iz ugla ekonomskog, socijalnog, pravnog, ali i bezbjednosnog aspekta. Kao takvo zasigur- no se može smatrati jednim od najvećih dostignuća evropskih integracija uopšte. Pojam slobodnog kretanja građana danas ima znatno drugačije značenje od onog koje je imalo u momentu donošenja prvih odredbi Ugovora o osnivanju Evropske ekonomske zajednice iz 1957. godine koje su se odnosile na slobodno kretanje radnika i slobodu poslovnog preduzetništva. Veliki iskorak u tom dijelu zasigurno predstavlja Ugovor o Evropskoj uniji, potpisan u Mastrihtu 1992. godine, kojim je na indirektan način uveden pojam ,,građanstva EU” koje automatski dobija svaki državljanin države članice. Iako je pravo slobode kretanja pravno definisano Protokolom 4, Evropske kon- vencije o ljudskim pravima i osnovnim slobodama, istovremeno je pravno utemel- jen stav da se to pravo može ograničiti u posebnim oblastima u skladu sa zakonom, odnosno u onim situacijama kada je to opravdano sa aspekta javnog interesa društ- va. Upravo ovaj rad će se osvrnuti na neke praktične situacije kada su, u domenu ostvarivanja ovog prava, interesi pojedinca i društvene zajednice suprotstavljeni. Posebno ćemo istaći slobodu kretanja građana i pandemiju COVID-a koja još uvi- jek potresa i pravi velike probleme cijelom čovječanstvu.
