Building trust in policing: challenges and strategy; [Construindo confian no polia: desafios e estratia]
subject: bias police; police reforms; police training; police trust model; trust
description: In recent years, trust has gained significant importance when discussing the evolution of policing. This shift in focus has been acknowledged by scholars, policymakers, and law enforcement officials who are responsible for ensuring public safety. Unlike the traditional emphasis on crime reduction, there is now a shared recognition that building trust is a fundamental objective in the relationship between policing agencies and the communities they serve. This article discusses three commonly employed methods by policing agencies and their personnel to enhance public trust in the police: policy changes, police training, and citizen oversight boards. Further, it focuses to a less conventional avenue for change, which involves re-evaluating the laws enforced by the police. To achieve meaningful transformation within the police system, it is necessary not only to modify how officers perform their duties but also to examine and potentially revise the laws they are obligated to enforce. 2024 Centro Universitario de Brasilia.

Management and Sales Forecasting of an E-commerce Information System Using Data Mining and Convolutional Neural Networks
subject: Convolutional Neural Networks; Data Mining; E-commerce; Sales Forecasting
description: The exponential development of e-commerce in recent decades has enhanced convenience for individuals. Compared to the conventional business environment, e-commerce is characterized by increased dynamism and complexity, resulting in several obstacles. Data mining assists individuals in effectively addressing these difficulties. Traditional data mining cannot efficiently use big data in the power provider industry. It heavily relies on time-consuming and labor-intensive feature engineering, and the resulting model could be more easily scalable. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) can efficiently use vast amounts of data and autonomously extract valuable elements from the original input, resulting in increased effectiveness. This article utilizes a CNN to extract valuable insights from e-commerce information to forecast commodities sales accurately and proposes a CNN-based Sales Forecasting Model (CNN-SFM). The findings indicate that using data mining and CNN yields a high level of precision in forecasting forthcoming people buying capacity data. The correlation variable between actual usage information and projected usage information was 0.98, and the highest mean error was just 1.78%. Data mining can effectively extract hidden relevant information and forecast future consumption habits for e-commerce systems. CNN demonstrates proficiency in accurately predicting forthcoming consumption power and trends. The Research Publication.

subject: 2D COF; Cationic and anionic dyes; LED light source; Photodegradation; Phthalocyanine
description: The present work involves the synthesis of 2D covalent organic framework involving zinc phthalocyanine and perylene systems (2DZnPc) as low-power LED visible-light sensitizer for ZnO nanomaterial. The synthesized materials and their composites (2DZnPc@ZnO) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Solid-state diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer to understand the structure, size, morphology, and optical properties. To examine the photodegradation competence of ZnO alone and its four different composites (2DZnPc@ZnO5, 2DZnPc@ZnO10, 2DZnPc@ZnO15, and 2DZnPc@ZnO20) in the presence of the energy-efficient low-power white LED (16 W) as source of visible light, and as modular pollutants, cationic methylene violet (MV) and anionic Eosin Y (EY) dyes were employed. The effect of different parameters on photocatalytic activity such as photocatalyst dosage, interaction time, pH of dye solution, and photocatalyst re-usage is examined. The results indicate that photosensitizing ZnO with 2DZnPc improved photocatalytic performance for the photodegradation of MV and EY dyes substantially. In an optimized environment, the removal efficiency of MV and EY was found to be 98 and 92 % respectively in 90 min. 2024 Elsevier Ltd

subject: Algebraic graph; coset component graph; coset component signed graph
description: In this paper, the notion of a newly derived signed graph called a coset component graph, based on cosets of subgroups of a group is introduced. Let G be a group and H be its subgroup. Then, the coset component graph of H in G, denoted by ?cc, is a simple graph with the vertex set consisting of elements of G and two vertices say, a, b ? ?cc are adjacent if either aH = bH or Ha = Hb. A coset component signed graph of H in G is a signed graph whose edges get the sign in accordance with their inclusion in the edge set of the corresponding coset component graph. The structure and important properties of the coset component signed graphs are determined in this paper. 2024 World Scientific Publishing Company.

Estimation of state of charge considering impact of vibrations on traction battery pack
subject: Battery pack; Coulomb counting method; Electric vehicles traction; Kalman filter
description: Interest towards electric vehicle adoption is on the rise due to the lower running and maintenance cost it offers, along with zero tailpipe emissions. Range anxiety is one of the only concern that affects the adoption of electric vehicles. The state of charge of the traction battery pack has to be accurately determined and provided to the user to avoid range anxiety. Minute battery parameters has to be considered to improve the accuracy of the state of charge determination. In order to overcome the problem of range anxiety, an innovative strategy that takes into account how vibrations affect the performance of EV batteries is developed in this research. By doing this, the state of charge estimation precision is improved and thereby raises the drivers faith in electric vehicles. The impacts and vibrations felt on the traction battery pack during driving would lead to heat generation. The heat generated is found to be highest when the vibrations resonate at the natural frequencies of the traction battery pack. The natural frequency of the battery pack is considered when the battery is kept in the battery chamber of the two-wheeler electric vehicle. The vibrations at natural frequency produces heat which is accounted for when the state of charge is determined. To obtain accurate state of charge estimation, a Kalman filter-based approach is used. The Kalman filter-based estimation uses the conventional methods which are the open circuit voltage method and the Coulomb counting method to improve the estimation process along with the consideration of the heat component due to vibrations and impact. The vibration analysis is performed using MATLAB, while the state of charge determination is implemented in hardware and the Kalman estimation done using Python. The system is modelled on an electric two-wheeler platform and the testing is done to compare the state of charge accuracy of the open circuit voltage method, the Coulomb counting method and the Kalman filter-based esti…

Corporate social responsibility assurance, board characteristics and social performance disclosure. Evidence of listed firms in India
subject: board characteristics; CSR assurance; difference in differences model; resource dependency theory; signalling theory; social performance disclosures
description: The study examines board characteristics, corporate social responsibility (CSR) assurance and social performance disclosure of listed firms before and after mandatory CSR reporting in India. We used the Indian stock market as the testing grounds and applied panel regression and difference-in-differences to analyse 960 firm-year observations between 2010 and 2021. The first findings show that independent board directors and total board size are insignificant in CSR assurance engagement in a mandatory CSR policy period. However, CEO duality is less than likely causing CSR assurance engagement. The second findings show that CSR assurance engagement more than likely causes an increase in social performance disclosure before mandatory CSR policy implementation and increases social performance after policy implementation. The third findings show that the interactive effect of board characteristics (independent directors, total board size and CEO duality) and CSR assurance engagement causes an increase in social performance disclosure. The study sought clarity on the impact of CSR assurance and mandatory CSR reporting on information asymmetry problems to stakeholders. The study also contributes new knowledge on the influence of the interactive effect of board characteristics and CSR assurance on the social performance disclosure of listed firms in India. 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Understanding environmentally sustainable Indian travel behaviour: an analysis of 2011 census data
subject: Developing country; Gender; O180; R410; Ruralurban; Socio-demographic factors; Sustainability; Travel behaviour
description: Using census data of non-agricultural workers for 2011, this study aims to examine trends and determinants of travel behaviour in India. Descriptive statistics accompanied by a beta regression model of proportional outcomes are implemented on the obtained data. The study finds that men are the dominant users of motorized transport in the country. Most workers travel a short distance of less than 5km, irrespective of area or gender. Population density, the share of married population and the share of rural population in a district significantly influence the share of environmentally sustainable travel behaviour displayed by that region. To the best of our comprehension, this is one of the primary studies elucidating the comparison of travel behaviour in ruralurban areas of Indian states. Not many studies in India have addressed the issue of influence of socio-demographic factors on environmentally sustainable travel choices. With this analysis, policymakers in the transportation sector can get a clearer idea of the behaviour and demands of different divisions of society. The findings of this study demand the evolution of infrastructure of public transportation and non-motorized transportation in the country in such a way that is both efficient and secure to neither impede the goals of empowerment or sustainability.

Deprotection induced modulation of excited state intramolecular proton transfer for selective detection of perborate and ammonia
subject: Deprotection; Dip-stick method; ESIPT; Fluorescence; Naked-eye
description: Acetate protected Naphthalene Coupled Benzothiazole (NCB) has been designed and synthesized for selective detection of perborate (BO3) and ammonia (NH3) based on modulation of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process by chemodosimetric deacetylation pathway. In presence of nucleophilic species like BO3 and NH3, acetyl group deprotection of NCB resulted ESIPT within the molecule exhibiting a significant enhancement of absorption and emission signals at 425 nm and 472 nm respectively. The emission enhancement of NCB has been observed by 31-folds and 14-folds in presence of BO3 and NH3 respectively. The selectivity and fast sensitivity of NCB have been shown by the lower detection limit (1.32 M for BO3, 1.74 M for NH3 in UVvis study and 0.60 M for BO3 and 4.39 M for NH3 in fluorescence study) and fast response (rate constants: 12.36 s?1 and 5.54 s?1 for BO3 and NH3 respectively). Analytes induced deacetylation pathway of NCB followed by ESIPT has been clearly demonstrated by theoretical calculation. The test strips based on NCB with BO3 and NH3 are fabricated, which can act as a convenient and efficient test kits for both these analytes. In the practical applications, the sensor NCB can be utilized as low cost food spoilage indicator and soil analysis by fluorometric method. 2024 Elsevier B.V.

VALIDATION OF CONTINUOUS FLOW METAL PLATE REACTORS IN THE TERPENE KETONE SYNTHESIS BY ALCOHOL OXIDATION
subject: Continuous Flow Process; Metal Plate Reactor; Oxidation Reaction; Ruthenium Catalyst; Secondary and Tertiary Alcohols
description: The present study elucidates the oxidation of alcohols to terpene ketones using dichloro(p-cymene) ruthenium (II) dimer catalyst by continuous flow process using a metal plate reactor. The synthesized products were separated and validated using GC, GCMS,1 H-NMR, and13 C-NMR techniques. The reaction process exhibited product yield in the range of 80-95% on a scale of 1-80 grams. Optimization studies were conducted to calibrate the reaction conditions to improve the product yield. The scope of the reaction was explored using aromatic, cyclic, and aliphatic alcohols under optimized conditions, which resulted in high yields of terpene ketones. A reaction mechanism is proposed for the oxidation of alcohols by a continuous flow process. The significant advantages of the current protocol include synthesis at mild conditions, safer handling of reagents, flexibility to tune reaction conditions, and straightforward scale-up in the range of 1-80 grams with high efficiency and reproducibility. 2024, Rasayan Journal of Chemistry, c/o Dr. Pratima Sharma.

subject: accretion, accretion discs; stars: neutron; X-rays: binaries; X-rays: bursts; X-rays: individual: 4U 1702?429
description: 4U 1702?429, an atoll-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binary, was observed twice by the AstroSat/Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) and Large Area X-ray Proportional Counters (LAXPC-20) on 2018 April 27 and 2019 August 8. Persistent emission spectra of the source were well fitted with the model combination - constant tbabs (thcomp diskbb+powerlaw). The parameters obtained from the spectral analysis revealed the source to be in a hard spectral state during the observations. Time-resolved spectral analyses were performed on the three type I X-ray bursts detected from the source. Burst analysis showed that the source underwent a photospheric radius expansion. Consequently, the radius of the neutron star and distance to the source (with isotropic and anisotropic burst emission) were obtained as 12.65+?008690 km and 6.92+?000916 and 8.43+?001020 kpc, respectively. 2024 The Author(s).

It includes strategies for improving employee engagement, productivity, motivation, adaptability to change, welfare, and overall health in addition to traditional HR concerns. As part of this process, conducive working conditions must be created, talent management practices must be implemented, and flexibility must be provided to meet the evolving needs of healthcare professionals. The adoption of Agile HR practices is gaining momentum among hospitals in response to the dynamic challenges they face. In the Agile approach, the development cycle of 'Plan, Do, Check, and Act (PDCA)' enables real-time responsiveness. Through a qualitative research design with in-depth interviews conducted through purposive sampling, this study explores the implementation of Agile HR practices in hospitals located in Kerala and Karnataka. The research presents a novel human resources operating model, termed the 'Agile HR Model,' which advocates the integration of Agile principles into the management of healthcare employees. A key objective of this model is to enhance hospital service delivery by embracing agility and adaptability. The study provides HR managers and healthcare professionals with insights into enhancing the delivery of healthcare services. 2024, Iquz Galaxy Publisher. All rights reserved.

Engine behavior analysis on a conventional diesel engine combustion mode powered by low viscous cedarwood oil/waste cooking oil biodiesel/diesel fuel mixture An experimental study
subject: And Emission; Cedarwood Oil; Co-efficient of Variance; Combustion Efficiency; Performance; Waste Cooking Oil biodiesel
description: Binary biofuel is the best alternative source that completely replaces petroleum-based fuel. In this study, we have experimented with the waste cooking oil and cedarwood oil as biofuel in a DI CI engine for various proportions and related its combustion, emission, and performance characteristics to those of base diesel. This study aims to eliminate the utilization of fossil fuel in a diesel engine by introducing green binary fuel (low viscous fuel resulting from the blending of cedarwood oil with WCO biodiesel) successfully. The objective of the study is to convert cedarwood WCO into green binary fuel and investigate its performance, emission, and combustion properties. The transesterification process is utilized for the enhancement of WCO as biodiesel. It occasioned a reduction in brake thermal efficiency as the addition of waste cooking oil in the blend increased. At the same time, the maximum value of BTE of 27.8% was attained for B10C90 (10% transesterified waste cooking oil and 90% cedarwood oil in volume), whereas it was 28.1% for diesel at maximum load conditions. The BSEC was 15.4 MJ/kW-hr for B10C90 and 12.8 MJ/kWhr for diesel. The emission characteristics, CO, HC, NOx, CO2, and smoke for B10C90 were 17.93 g/kWhr, 0.55 g/kWhr., 20.09 g/kWhr, 2210.9 g/kWhr, and 25.55%. Combustion features such as NHRR, burn duration, MPRR, combustion efficiency, Ignition delay, and coefficient of variance for B10C90 were 53.74 bar, 29.38 CAD, 4.71 bar/CAD, 99.7%, 7.01 CAD, and 4.73% respectively. It showed that B10C90 had comparable performance (BTE) and combustion values to mineral diesel with better emission characteristics. 2024 The Institution of Chemical Engineers

Utilization of IoT-Based Healthcare System and Vital Data Monitoring of patients
subject: Automated; Healthcare; Internet of Things; Monitoring; Privacy
description: The next generation of technology, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), will provide a comprehensive system that connects different domains, functions, and innovations. With the increasing demand for elderly care due to the growing ageing population, health monitoring systems have become increasingly important. Continuous monitoring is required in ICU to monitor the health conditions of patients. In cases where patients are released from the hospital, they are advised to rest and observed for a certain period, and the IoT system is very helpful in such cases. This article primarily discusses the implementation of a precise autonomous medical facility management system using IoT. In the past, only current data was displayed, and the patients history could not be accessed. In this study, we propose an IoT-based healthcare system for continuous monitoring of a patients health conditions. The healthcare system focuses on measuring and monitoring various biological parameters of the patients body, such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation level, and temperature, using a web server and an Android application. Doctors can continuously monitor the patients condition on their smart phones using the Android application. Moreover, the patients history will be stored on the web server, and doctors can access the information from anywhere without being physically present. RJPT All right reserved.

Sustainable carbonaceous nanomaterial supported palladium as an efficient ligand-free heterogeneouscatalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling
description: A novel ligand-free heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized via pyrolysis of Samanea saman pods to produce carbon nanospheres (SS-CNSs), which served as a carbon support for immobilizing palladium nanoparticles through an in situ reduction technique (Pd/SS-CNS). The SS-CNSs effectively integrated 3% of Pd on their surfaces with no additional activation procedures needed. The nanomaterials obtained underwent thorough characterization employing various techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, ICP-AES, and BET. Subsequently, the efficiency of this Pd/SS-CNS catalyst was assessed for the synthesis of biaryl derivatives via Suzuki coupling, wherein different boronic acids were coupled with various aryl halides using an environmentally benign solvent mixture of EtOH/H2O and employing only 0.1 mol% of Pd/SS-CNS. The catalytic system was conveniently recovered through centrifugation and demonstrated reusability without any noticeable decline in catalytic activity. This approach offers economic viability, ecological compatibility, scalability, and has the potential to serve as an alternative to homogeneous catalysis. 2024 RSC.

subject: academic management system; higher education; implementation; learning analytics; learning management system; online teaching; participatory action research; usage enhancement
description: A common thread noted in many academic management system implementations was the stagnation and deterioration of their usage after the initial hype. This action research study was aimed at addressing this decline in a higher education institute after undertaking a reflective analysis of the waning usage patterns and taking appropriate initiatives to enhance their usage. The authors have attempted this as participants driving the change. As change agents, the academic management system implementation was advanced to move closer to a stage where the committed use occurred and intended benefits were realised. Several initiatives were introduced to propel this change. The scope of this article was confined to gauging the impact of the trigger factors; memos, and training on the academic management system usage. Their effects were measured by applying learning analytics to various sources of usage and performance data. This further led to analysing the relationship between usage and performance of the stakeholders; students, and faculty. 2021 British Educational Leadership, Management & Administration Society (BELMAS).
