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.

The global automotive manufacturing industry's growth in downtime reductio is substantial, valued at $3272.6 billion USD with a 3.01% growth rate.This growth in downtime reduction underscores the industry's commitment to enhancing efficiency, quality, and overall productivity across its diverse range of operations. Downtime in the braking system assembly line can lead to utilization loss or technical availability loss. In this context, many proactive maintenance strategies are explored but there's limited focus on addressing error-prone machines and utilizing Machine Learning for predicting downtime. The objective is to prioritize downtime reduction through error analysis, critical machine identification, and implementing ML-based solutions. This comprehensive research delved into the significance of minimizing downtime in the braking system final assembly line through meticulous data analysis, visualization techniquesand targeted interventions and then identified key issues and achieved tangible improvements in operational efficiency. The analysis revealed significant findings and then employed the Pareto Principle to identify top downtime machines, illustrating their distribution through a Pareto chart of machine defects. Furthermore, Exceptions and Problem Areas were identified utilizing statistical process controls, offering insights into critical error contributors. Notably, a comprehensive exploration of the most prominent downtime machine was undertaken, evidenced by LCL and UCL charts and a Fishbone Diagram detailing causal relationships. The research leverages real-world data involving dates, machine names, and downtime durations to develop a predictive model that aids in proactively managing production disruptions. The application of RPN calculations before and after error correction demonstrated a substantial reduction from of 432 to 75, validating the efficacy of the corrective actions. The real-time data was used to build a model that can predict when production machines downtime might happen. This helps us be prepared and manage any possible disruptions in production.The outcome of the project highlights the intrinsic link between downtime reduction and assembly line efficiency, emphasizing the importance of data-driven interventions. This culminated in the resolution of key issues, illustrated by the mitigation of the PCBA Pressin machine and LVDT sensor errors, yielding tangible reductions in downtime and notable productivity improvements. In this direction, exploring AI-driven predictive maintenance holds immense potential for advancing downtime reduction strategies. Leveraging AI algorithms to analyse live data streams from machinery and sensors can enable the detection of patterns indicating imminent failures and can pre-emptively prevent downtime.
全球汽车制造业在减少停机时间方面的增长是可观的,价值为32726亿美元,增长率为3.01%。停机时间减少的增长强调了该行业致力于提高其不同业务范围的效率、质量和整体生产力。制动系统装配线的停机可能导致利用率损失或技术可用性损失。在这种情况下,人们探索了许多主动维护策略,但对解决易出错机器和利用机器学习预测停机时间的关注有限。目标是通过错误分析、关键机器识别和实施基于机器学习的解决方案来优先减少停机时间。 这项综合研究通过细致的数据分析、可视化技术和有针对性的干预,深入研究了制动系统总装线最大限度地减少停机时间的重要性,然后确定了关键问题,并在运营效率方面取得了切实的改善。分析揭示了重要的发现,然后采用帕累托原理来确定停机时间最长的机器,并通过机器缺陷的帕累托图说明它们的分布。此外,利用统计过程控制确定了异常和问题区域,提供了对关键错误贡献者的见解。值得注意的是,对最突出的停机机进行了全面的探索,由LCL和UCL图表以及详细说明因果关系的鱼骨图证明。该研究利用真实世界的数据,包括日期、机器名称和停机时间,来开发一个预测模型,帮助主动管理生产中断。 纠错前后RPN计算的应用表明,纠错措施的有效性得到了验证,从432降至75。实时数据被用于建立一个模型,该模型可以预测生产机器何时可能发生停机。这有助于我们准备和管理任何可能的生产中断。该项目的成果突出了减少停机时间与装配线效率之间的内在联系,强调了数据驱动干预的重要性。这最终解决了关键问题,减轻了PCBA压力机和LVDT传感器的错误,减少了停机时间,显著提高了生产率。在这个方向上,探索人工智能驱动的预测性维护对于推进减少停机时间的策略具有巨大的潜力。利用人工智能算法分析来自机械和传感器的实时数据流,可以检测到指示即将发生故障的模式,并可以先发制人地防止停机。

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transition to a more digitized world and brought about significant changes in online shopping habits that could have long-term implications. With governments implementing restrictions and consumers concerned about potential health risks associated with in-store buying, there has been a notable surge in online shopping. However, since late 2022, governments have started easing regulations, and consumers are gradually returning to brick-and-mortar establishments. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the factors influencing internet shopping following the pandemic. A retrospective quantitative study was conducted over two periods, focusing on the same sample of consumers in Lebanon and Iraq. The findings reveal that previous online purchasing experiences, attitudes toward online shopping, and perceived usefulness all play crucial roles in shaping online shopping intentions in the post-COVID-19 era.
2019冠状病毒病大流行加速了向更加数字化的世界的过渡,并使网上购物习惯发生了重大变化,这可能会产生长期影响。随着政府实施限制措施,以及消费者担心实体店购物可能带来的健康风险,网上购物出现了显著增长。然而,自2022年底以来,各国政府开始放松监管,消费者逐渐回到实体店。本研究的主要目的是调查疫情后影响网上购物的因素。在两个时期内进行了回顾性定量研究,重点是黎巴嫩和伊拉克的同一消费者样本。调查结果显示,之前的网上购物经历、对网上购物的态度和感知有用性都在塑造后covid -19时代的网上购物意愿方面发挥了至关重要的作用。

Water Quality Assessment of Santa Cruz River in 2011 and 2022 in the Vicinity of Liliw and Nagcarlan, Laguna, Philippines 菲律宾拉古纳Liliw和Nagcarlan附近圣克鲁斯河2011年和2022年水质评价

Santa Cruz River has significant importance for the economic development of the Philippines and the inhabitants depending on this river for various purposes. It is also one of the 21 major tributary rivers of Laguna de Bay that has a substantial contribution of 15% to the total lake water. This study aims to determine water quality in part of Liliw-Nagcarlan, Laguna of the Santa Cruz River in 2011 and 2022 and to identify the sub-watershed experiencing changes in water quality. There are three sites used for sampling (Talahibing, Bangkuro, and Lapad rivers). Physicochemical and hydrometry were measured in situ. Temperature, pH, and conductivity are within the normal limits. However, dissolved oxygen was generally above the normal limits based on the DENR Water Quality Guidelines. The results showed that the water quality in 2011 and 2022 was projected to change. The number of settlements, recreational activities, and nature park areas increased while the riparian vegetation decreased. The change in land cover will affect the water quality. The result of the assessment for the temperature and conductivity in 2022 was higher compared to 2011. The increase that occurred was influenced by the reduced dissolved oxygen and the pH level, which can cause fish kills and create significant harm to ecosystems. Flowrate was higher from 2022 compared to 2011, since the temperature increased, and the dissolved oxygen levels decreased from this study. Important correlations between the different parameters and the year of the study were proved.
圣克鲁斯河对菲律宾的经济发展和依靠这条河的居民有着重要的意义。它也是拉古纳德湾的21条主要支流之一,占湖泊总水量的15%。本研究旨在确定2011年和2022年圣克鲁斯河拉古纳Liliw-Nagcarlan部分地区的水质,并确定经历水质变化的子流域。有三个地点用于采样(Talahibing、Bangkuro和Lapad河)。物理化学和水文测量在现场进行。温度、pH值、电导率均在正常范围内。然而,溶解氧总体上高于DENR水质指南规定的正常限值。结果表明,2011年和2022年的水质预测将发生变化。聚落、休闲活动和自然公园面积增加,河岸植被减少。土地覆盖的变化会影响水质。与2011年相比,2022年的温度和电导率评估结果更高。发生的增加受到溶解氧和pH值降低的影响,这可能导致鱼类死亡并对生态系统造成重大损害。与2011年相比,2022年的流量更高,因为温度升高,溶解氧水平降低。不同参数与研究年份之间的重要相关性得到了证明。

It is also one of the 21 major tributary rivers of Laguna de Bay that has a substantial contribution of 15% to the total lake water. This study aims to determine water quality in part of Liliw-Nagcarlan, Laguna of the Santa Cruz River in 2011 and 2022 and to identify the sub-watershed experiencing changes in water quality. There are three sites used for sampling (Talahibing, Bangkuro, and Lapad rivers). Physicochemical and hydrometry were measured in situ. Temperature, pH, and conductivity are within the normal limits. However, dissolved oxygen was generally above the normal limits based on the DENR Water Quality Guidelines. The results showed that the water quality in 2011 and 2022 was projected to change. The number of settlements, recreational activities, and nature park areas increased while the riparian vegetation decreased. The change in land cover will affect the water quality. The result of the assessment for the temperature and conductivity in 2022 was higher compared to 2011. The increase that occurred was influenced by the reduced dissolved oxygen and the pH level, which can cause fish kills and create significant harm to ecosystems. Flowrate was higher from 2022 compared to 2011, since the temperature increased, and the dissolved oxygen levels decreased from this study.

The modern era demands greater speed, efficiency, and quality in every aspect of life. Smart technologies, particularly the Internet of Things (IoT), have revolutionized the way people live and work. In this research paper, we explore the implementation of smart office technology, which includes connectivity and collaboration solutions, to enhance the productivity and safety of employees. For instance, smart parking systems enable employees to plan their commutes ahead of time, while smart meeting room solutions facilitate the selection of the most suitable meeting room for a team based on specific criteria. Furthermore, we discuss the use of IoT devices to limit natural pollution and adopt renewable energy in the office, such as air, sun, and rainwater harvesting. We also consider the implementation of a firewall in our server to ensure the security of our smart office network. By combining these smart concepts and systems, we can create a more efficient, secure, and eco-friendly workplace.
现代社会在生活的各个方面都要求更快的速度、效率和质量。智能技术,特别是物联网(IoT),已经彻底改变了人们的生活和工作方式。在这篇研究论文中,我们探讨了智能办公技术的实施,其中包括连接和协作解决方案,以提高员工的生产力和安全性。例如,智能停车系统使员工能够提前计划通勤,而智能会议室解决方案有助于根据特定标准为团队选择最合适的会议室。此外,我们还讨论了使用物联网设备来限制自然污染,并在办公室采用可再生能源,如空气、阳光和雨水收集。我们亦考虑在我们的伺服器内安装防火墙,以确保我们的智能办公网络的安全。通过结合这些智能概念和系统,我们可以创造一个更高效、更安全、更环保的工作场所。

Considering India's outstanding economic success following the adoption of new economic strategy in the 1990s, the country has made only gradual and unequal progress in enhancing its citizens' health. Large disparities in health infrastructure and access to healthcare remain and have even gotten worse within and among groups, among rural and urban areas, and throughout states. Despite the fact that member nations of the World Health Organization began to support the idea of health care for all as early as 2005, India has yet to accomplish these goals, unlike numerous other low-income nations. The continual issue of meeting the needs of the most marginalised Indian society is one that the country's health care system must continue to grapple with. Recent progress in access to healthcare caused by various initiatives, the states continue to face serious problems with regard to the affordability and accessibility of health-related services for the poor. Inequalities in the cost and accessibility of health treatments by socio - economic level, location, and gender are still present. This is mostly caused by the numerous obstacles that make it difficult to get essential medical care. The present crisis of public health infrastructure in rural regions and other aspects of health services in India are critically examined and evaluated in this perspective.
考虑到印度在1990年代通过新经济战略后取得的显著经济成就,该国在增进公民健康方面只取得了渐进和不平等的进展。保健基础设施和获得保健服务方面的巨大差距仍然存在,甚至在群体内部和群体之间、农村和城市地区以及整个州之间变得更大。尽管世界卫生组织成员国早在2005年就开始支持人人享有医疗保健的想法,但与许多其他低收入国家不同,印度尚未实现这些目标。满足最边缘化的印度社会的需求是该国卫生保健系统必须继续努力解决的问题。最近各种举措在获得保健方面取得了进展,但各州在穷人负担得起和获得与保健有关的服务方面继续面临严重问题。按社会经济水平、地点和性别划分,保健治疗的费用和可及性方面的不平等仍然存在。这主要是由于难以获得基本医疗服务的众多障碍造成的。目前农村地区公共卫生基础设施的危机以及印度卫生服务的其他方面都从这一角度进行了严格审查和评价。
