This research explores the application of the Cross-Impact Balances (CIB) method in identifying the factors that need to be included in the strategic planning process for the adoption of smart mobility solutions in new cities within developing countries. Smart mobility systems use emerging technologies to arrive at solutions to many of the mobility related problems that affect the urban environment by creating connected and sustainable transportation systems that can move people more efficiently and safely. The CIB method, known for its ability to assess interdependencies and uncertainties in complex systems, is employed as a decision support tool. The research investigates the descriptors influencing smart mobility success in developing cities, and found that relevant aspects such as infrastructure readiness, technological disparities, socio-economic dynamics, and regulatory environments. Factors like citizen engagement, strategic region, and sustainable mobility urban plans are high-priority factors, emphasizing community involvement and thoughtful planning. Medium-priority factors highlight the need for comprehensive infrastructure and strategic collaboration. Low-priority factors, that include employed population and political situation, are found to have a comparatively lesser impact. Based on the outcome of the CIB method, the paper recommends using the resulting high- and medium-priority factors for the preparation of the strategic planning framework (the goals, objectives, and broad strategies) to achieve the vision of establishing new cities that could be characterized to have smart mobility systems.

Brain tumor is an abnormal proliferation of brain cells, which may be benign or malignant in nature. Brain cancer, which is frequently diagnosed in individuals of all ages, is a malignant form of a brain tumor and one of the most severe forms of cancer. Each year, an estimated 300 cases of brain tumors, including those in children, are diagnosed in Indonesia. To detect brain tumors, imaging methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are utilized. However, radiologists' manual examination of MRI scans might lead to conclusions that differ from one doctor to the next (interobserver error). Research on brain tumor type classification on MRI images is also limited. To identify various types of brain tumors in MRI images, we will therefore construct a system utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and transfer-learning methods. In this study, the Flask framework was successfully used to develop a web-based application to identify distinct form of brain tumors in MRI scans. The model makes use of CNN architecture, a ResNet50V2 base model trained on the ImageNet dataset, a head model with 512 nodes and one entirely connected layer, and an output layer that forecasts the input into four classes of brain MRI images, including “Normal”,”Glioma”, “Meningioma”, and”Pituitary”. Appropriate parameter settings were used to achieve the highest accuracy. In this study, Adam optimization algorithm was used with 60 epochs and a batch size of 32. Additionally, a ten-fold cross-validation technique was implemented. 95% accuracy rate was achieved by implementing the proposed architecture.

Network virtualization offers advanced technology solutions for data centers and clouds, specifically through the use of Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VxLAN) to interconnect multiple data centers. Nonetheless, it is crucial to take into account the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) when implementing overlay VxLAN technology. This technology introduces additional overhead to network packets, and exceeding the MTU can result in performance degradation and increased processing overhead due to packet fragmentation. The Virtual Tunneling End Point (VTEP) is employed in VxLAN overlay tunneling but does not forward packets that exceed the path MTU, leading to packet loss and significant delays caused by network misconfiguration. This paper thoroughly examines the issues related to MTU size and emphasizes the overhead introduced by overlay technologies like VxLAN. Additionally, it highlights the necessity of implementing MTU discovery features. Simulation results demonstrate that enabling MTU discovery features allows hosts to avoid packet loss while ensuring network stability and adaptability. Conversely, manually adjusting the MTU size may be restricted or blocked by device vendors, especially when data centers are interconnected via third-party networks. By comparing the manual configuration approach with MTU discovery methods, data center administrators can make informed decisions. The simulation results clearly indicate that MTU discovery surpasses manual configuration in terms of throughput, reduces packet loss, and minimizes delays.
网络虚拟化为数据中心和云提供了先进的技术解决方案,特别是通过使用虚拟可扩展局域网(VxLAN)实现多个数据中心的互联。不过,在实施叠加 VxLAN 技术时,必须考虑到最大传输单元(MTU)。这种技术会给网络数据包带来额外的开销,超过 MTU 会导致性能下降,并因数据包分片而增加处理开销。在 VxLAN 重叠隧道中采用了虚拟隧道端点(VTEP),但它不会转发超过路径 MTU 的数据包,从而导致数据包丢失和因网络配置错误而造成的严重延迟。本文深入研究了与 MTU 大小相关的问题,并强调了 VxLAN 等覆盖技术带来的开销。此外,它还强调了实施 MTU 发现功能的必要性。仿真结果表明,启用 MTU 发现功能可使主机避免数据包丢失,同时确保网络的稳定性和适应性。相反,手动调整 MTU 大小可能会受到设备供应商的限制或阻止,尤其是当数据中心通过第三方网络互连时。通过比较手动配置方法和 MTU 发现方法,数据中心管理员可以做出明智的决策。仿真结果清楚地表明,MTU 发现法在吞吐量、减少数据包丢失和最小化延迟方面都优于手动配置法。

When employing renewable energy within a smart micro grid (SMG), the management of distributed energy resources (DER) plays a crucial role in optimizing practical objectives of SMG. This study utilizes the Shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) to manage DER and implement demand response programs (DSP), aiming to optimize economic, technical and environmental problems of SMG. The modeling of renewable energy resources (RES) is a challenge due to its uncertainty, therefore, cumulative distribution function (CDF) is used for predicting the energy sources before its integration with SMG. The DER included in this study consists of the wind and solar energy, battery, micro turbine and the utility. This model is implemented in three different scenarios: a) basic grid operation, b) operation with maximum usage of renewable energy resources, c) operation with maximum usage of RES and DRP. The results obtained show the superiority of proposed SFLA algorithm in terms of avoiding pre-mature convergence which is a common challenge in optimization, and achieving global optimum for the proposed objectives. For validation, this model is implemented in MAT LAB considering different constraints.
在智能微电网(SMG)中采用可再生能源时,分布式能源资源(DER)的管理对优化 SMG 的实际目标起着至关重要的作用。本研究利用洗牌蛙跃算法(SFLA)管理 DER 并实施需求响应计划(DSP),旨在优化 SMG 的经济、技术和环境问题。可再生能源(RES)的建模因其不确定性而面临挑战,因此,在将其与 SMG 集成之前,使用累积分布函数(CDF)对能源进行预测。本研究中的 DER 包括风能、太阳能、电池、微型涡轮机和公用事业。该模型在三种不同情况下实施:a) 基本电网运行;b) 最大限度利用可再生能源的运行;c) 最大限度利用可再生能源和 DRP 的运行。结果表明,所提出的 SFLA 算法在避免过早收敛(这是优化中的常见挑战)和实现所提目标的全局最优方面具有优势。为进行验证,考虑到不同的约束条件,在 MAT LAB 中实现了该模型。

In the realm of construction, achieving high-performance concrete (HPC) involves incorporating supplementary materials like fly ash and blast furnace slag, along with superplasticizer. The conventional water-to-cement ratio (w/c) concept, established by Abrams in 1918, asserts an inverse relationship between w/c ratio and concrete strength in HPC. However, a critical analysis of experimental data challenges this perspective, revealing that the paste quantity also significantly influences comparable cement strength, introducing complexity to our understanding of HPC and concrete strength dynamics. Furthermore, an exploration of concrete mix models and machine learning algorithms sheds light on variables impacting compressive strength. Surprisingly, blast furnace slag emerges as a predominant contributor, highlighting the significance of water management. Key factors like cement and aggregates play pivotal roles in shaping compressive strength. Notably, the Vote algorithm demonstrates exceptional predictive accuracy with a high correlation coefficient (0.919) and low mean absolute error (4.9166), while RandomForest and AdditiveRegression also exhibit commendable performance, striking a balance between accuracy and efficiency. These insights guide decisions in concrete mix design and machine learning model selection, offering valuable guidance for optimal outcomes across diverse applications in construction.

Smartphones have drastically transformed communication and information access, becoming integral to various aspects of daily life. The surge in mobile application adoption for diverse needs has further solidified their importance. The study is motivated by the rising popularity of Flutter in mobile application development, particularly for interactive applications, due to its cross-platform capabilities and ability to create visually appealing interfaces with customizable widgets. However, there is a notable gap in mobile programming education, with a need for practical, hands-on learning. To address this, a learning topic in the Flutter Programming Learning Assistance System (FPLAS) is proposed which aims to facilitate self-learning in Android programming using Flutter. It incorporates test-driven development and automated testing, making it easier for students to learn through a project-based approach. The system's effectiveness was validated through an evaluation involving 40 students, resulting in a 100% success rate and positive feedback, highlighting its utility in enhancing UI design and programming skills, though some constructive suggestions were noted for improvement.
