Key for their inclusion is job finding which comes with hurdles like…

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is considered a relevant health risk for the workers of the maritime and port sectors, but scant data are available on actual exposure measured using personal dosimeters. Moreover, in outdoor workers sun protection habits are usually poor, while some promising data suggest that sun-safety campaigns can be effective in increasing self-protection…

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) technology is expected to provide many benefits for the society such as providing safe transportation to the community and reducing the number of accidents on the roads. With the emergence of AVs, the conventional safety infrastructure in which humans drive their vehicles will need to be upgraded in order to take full…

Everyone needs fast response or output against its request or need. Therefore, technologies are used to make the processing fast and accurate according to our needs. But in some situations, still we need to do more. Especially, when we need to process a massive or huge crowd of people in limited time frame such as…

Nowadays, the Internet has become an indispensable tool for the realization and continuity of activity at a different time, place, and technological context (e.g., mobile, pc, tablet), so that interaction techniques through the use of multi-device support have become of great interest. From this perspective, continuity in interactions is an essential concept in the face…

Nowadays the sustainable awareness trend is increasing. The consumers’ attitude has changed, causing companies to pay more attention to management in a sustainable way. Effective sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) can increase social, economic, and environmental benefits. Important factors from literatures were gather and organized to be a framework for SSCM. The proposed framework incorporates…

This paper presents the method of simulating the personal knowledge management (PKM) processes, based on Get-Understand-Share-Connect (GUSC) Model, using real event logs data from an online learning platform. The method used in here is process discovery and conformance, which are the process mining techniques. Having the model proven at granular level of multi-agent system, this…

Hearing impairments have a negative impact in the lives of individuals living with them and those around such individuals. Different applications and technological tools have been developed to help reduce this negative impact. Most mobile applications that have been developed that use Speech-to-Text technology have been inconsistent such that they are not inclusive of all…

Classic surgical skill evaluation is performed by an expert surgeon examining an apprentice in a hospital operating room. This method suffers from being subjective and expensive. As surgery becomes more complex and specialized, there is an increase need for an automated surgical skill evaluation system that is more objective and determines more exactly the skills…

The purpose of the research is an investigation of different accounting software products, their functions, and specific features to make easier choice among variety of similar products and analysis of their pros and cons that can influence on companies’ performance. Authors classified accounting software according to its capabilities to serve the different managerial purposes. Because…

The research objectives were to identify, analyze needs, as well as designing a mobile application for student online learning at PT. Ruang Raya Indonesia, particularly in the process of working on tasks assigned by the teacher. The methods used in this research are data collection method using Slovin theory, systems analysis by focusing on the…

E-learning, among the most prominent modes of learning, offers learners the opportunity to attend online courses. To improve the quality of online learning, social learning through social networks promotes interaction and collaboration among learners. As part of the learning process management in these environments, the implementation of recommendation systems facilitates the provision of content adapted…

The angle of attack is a critical flight parameter for commercial aviation aircraft, because automatic envelope protection systems rely on it to keep the aircraft within its safe flight envelope. Faulty measurements of the angle of attack could have catastrophic effects, leading to aircraft loss of control in flight and fatalities, as demonstrated by the…

Power converters are electronic devices widely applied in industry, and in recent years, for renewable energy electronic systems, they can regulate voltage levels and actuate as interfaces, however, to do so, is needed a controller. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) are applied to power converters comparing output voltage versus a reference voltage to reduce and anticipate error. Using…

The textile industry is one of the prioritized industries, because it contributes to the country’s foreign exchange, absorbs a large number of workers, and fulfills the need for national clothing. To increase work efficiency and productivity, the textile industry must use ERP. However, ERP implementation still has a relatively high failure rate. ERP readiness assessment…

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a contactless communication technology based on a radio frequency (RF) field using a base frequency of 13.56 MHz. NFC technology is perfectly designed to exchange data between two devices via simple touch gestures. RFID is the process of identifying an object directly by radio frequency. There are two important components…

The constant market change and the critical role of the logistics process in the supply chain need to have special attention because it is an essential piece for the global business strategy. This paper presents an assessment of the processes of handling material from Asia suppliers to North America. The data utilized for the analysis…

Rescuers escorted search dogs into the disaster area, using their unique sense of smell to find the injured. First, researchers summarize the design requirements in the search process from interviews with rescuers, and construct a conceptual prototype to confirm the interaction mode between the user and the dog. User central design invited people melt into…

Data aggregation, gathering and gossiping are all vital communication tasks in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). When all networking devices are always active, scheduling algorithms for these communication tasks have been extensively investigated under both the protocol and physical interference models. However, wireless devices usually switch between the sleep state and the active state for the…

Solar energy becomes widely used in the global power grid. Therefore, enhancing the accuracy of solar energy predictions is essential for the efficient planning, managing and operating of power systems. To minimize the negatives impacts of photovoltaics on electricity and energy systems, an approach to highly accurate and advanced forecasting is urgently needed. In this…

NOX and SO2 gas pollution have a direct impact on health problems and environmental damage. Therefore, to map the emission patterns and predict the resulting impacts, complete data and information on emissions of the two pollutants are needed. In Indonesia, data on NOX and SO2 emissions that are recorded over a long period of time…

Enrolment figures have been expanding in South African institutions of higher-learning, however, the expansion has not been accompanied by a proportional increase in the percent- age of enrolled learners completing their degrees. In a recent undergraduate-cohort-studies report, the DHET highlight the low percentage of students completing their degrees in the allotted time, having remained between…

The Blockchain technologies enable decentralized networking consisting of large number of nodes. To determine the shared states and failures of all nodes in a fully distributed peer-to-peer system, the appropriate consensus algorithm needs to be selected for each Internet of Things system. In this paper, a novel hierarchical voting-based byzantine fault tolerance (HBFT) consensus algorithm…

For many years, the most popular technique for Internet video streaming is hypertext transfer protocol-based adaptive streaming, known as HAS (HTTP Adaptive Streaming). However, a seamless viewing experience can not be just simply guaranteed by HAS only. In the management network, the adaptation of HAS copes with a huge challenge since client- driven schemes lead…
