In this study, a smart hybrid incubator was constructed and tested. To increase production of day-old poultry chicks, the incubator has solar power system to compliment power shortage in the event of failure from the national grid. The capacity of the incubator is 720 eggs. During the performance evaluation of the system, a temperature of 38.5 0 C and humidity 64% were maintained. Turning of the eggs' tray was achieved by a microcontroller that control the electric motor at an angle of 45 0 after a period of six hours. Fresh eggs of Broiler, Noilier chickens, guinea fowl and turkey were tested twice from 6th May to 3 rd June, 2020 and 7 th June to 3 rd July,2020. Fertility of the eggs were determined by candling method after ten days of laying the eggs after which fertile eggs were returned to the incubator. The system hatching rate of the incubator was between 88.6% to 96.1%. The automatic turning of the eggs was effective throughout the period. However, turning should stop some few days prior to hatching; that is three or four days maximum, because the embryos are moving into hatching position and need no turning. Therefore, three days to hatch the eggs were transferred to the hatching basket or hatcher. Utilizing the solar power indeed has provided a solution to the major constraint of power failure or inadequacy for commercial poultry farming.

Utilization of waste into alternative energy is still very minimal, in Indonesia it is estimated that only around 1600 MW or about 3.25% of the potential that exists. Several small-scale biogas installations already exist. However, the installation is still limited to sources originating from oil palm waste and livestock manure, while household waste is not optimally managed. The volume of waste in Indonesia ranges from 64 million tons per year. Until the year 2020, the volume of urban waste is expected to increase fivefold. Meanwhile, starting from the process of planting, production, shipping to final consumption, more than 40% of food becomes garbage. This is a big problem if it is not handled properly, even though garbage holds a large energy potential.

In the contemporary political philosophy, "equality" has increasingly become an inevitable core word. The transition from freedom to equality was made by the American philosopher John Rawls. The symbol of this change is his Theory on Justice, which enables equality to play an important role in the discourse system of contemporary political philosophy. The theory of distributive justice in justice theory has been widely studied by scholars including Dvorkin. While Rawls's theory of equality was popular with many, it was also criticized by the left and right, whose shared criticism of the-ignored the accountability issue. On this basis, De Wojkin criticizes Rawls's theory of equality and constructs a remarkable theory of resource equality. Through the combing of devworkin's content of the theory of resource equality and the exploration of the connotation and characteristics of the theory, it reveals its enlightenment to the contemporary construction practice, mainly including income distribution, educational equity and the protection of ethnic minority rights.

The increasing number of Information technology Users around the world has led to tremendous increase in the amount of data that requires storage. In response to this challenge, new storage area network architectures based on Ethernet (IP) have evolved. With the coexistence of storage traffic with other types of traffic in the same IP network, it is important to offer storage traffic QOS guarantees to prevent performance degradation for storage users. Regrettably, the storage device itself does not provide any capability of guaranteeing storage QOS.Commercially available storage arrays offer only limited support providing performance isolation bandwidth management and burst handling. To address this issue this paper introduces an integrated solution that enforces performance isolation, bandwidth management and burst handling among IP SANs.Through experiments it was established that the proposed solution is able to take advantage of its knowledge of traffic patterns to adjusts priorities to provide QOS(Quality of service) close to the service level objective(SLO) of storage users.

Our study is anchored on strategising financial architecture on firm financial performance in Nigeria using listed service industries from Nigeria. We strategised the independent variable with: short term debts STD; long term debts LTD and Equity EQT; while dependent variable apply return on investment ROI. The annual reports of sampled (9) service firms from 2012 to 2020 were extracted and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and Ordinary lest square regression (OLS). Results show R-squared value as (48.5%): indicating that the independent variables explained about 48.5% of the systematic variation in the pooled firms; while 51.5% is explained by other factors, the unspecified variables captured by the error term. In the same vein, the R-squared adjusted value is (46%) of the predictive power in the dependent variable; was jointly explained by the independent variables of the study: STD, LTD and EQT. Other analyses evidences show that strategizing STD and LTD are both negative and significant on ROI; while EQT is positive and significant on return on investment ROI of the pooled firms in Nigeria. Matching our findings with financial structure theories: EQT being positive and significant agrees with Miller & Modigliani, (1954; 1963) and Signaling, (1977) theories who earlier supported positive relationship; while STD and LTD being negative and significant, agrees with Agency (1976); Trade-off and Pecking order (1984), whose earlier theories supported negative relationship with ROI. From our findings, we recommend that firms should reduce STD, LTD and keep increasing equity to enhance ROI. The study contributes with the rich empirical literature, the modernized model applied in the study.

This study determined the factors affecting the saving and spending habits of college students in a University in Zambales during the pandemic. Subsequently, this study was done to better understand how these factors influenced the saving and spending manner of college students. A descriptive research design was used in this study. The main data collection instrument was a survey questionnaire, which was used to collect responses from college students in various departments. The Frequency and Percentage, Weighted Mean, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Pearson Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze data. The findings of the study revealed that student-respondents at the university are mostly female, who are young, single, whose parents' occupation varies with a very low monthly family income, with a financial aid that mostly comes from scholarship, and with low monthly allowance. The respondents strongly agree that peer influence and financial literacy are the factor that affects their saving habits. The respondents sometimes practice saving habits and seldom practice a right spending. The study revealed a significant difference on the perceived factors that affect the saving habits as to lifestyle, peer influence, and school factor. There is also a significant difference on the perceived factors that affect their spending habits as to lifestyle, peer influence, financial literacy, family factor and school factor. The study also revealed that there is no significant difference on the saving habit practices of the respondents. On the other hand, there is no significant difference on their spending habit practices of the respondents when grouped according to profile variables. This study also found out that there is significant relationship on the saving habit practices of respondents and the perceived factors that affect the saving and spending habits of college students, and a significant relationship on the spending habit practices of respondents and the perceived factors that affect the saving and spending habits of college students. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended that students may consider the value of saving money for the future as advised by their parents. Parents may always remind and advise their children that spending money should be based on needs and not on impulse and influence of friends. Faculty may advise students to practice saving and spending appropriately. The family and the school may consider strategies to develop saving habits of the students.

Network security services such as privacy, data provenance, authentication, encryption, and integrity assurance are imperative for today's decentralized applications, especially due to sizeable volume of data being processed over the networks and the use of cloud computing. At present, these security services are provided by centralized controllers or by adopting weak distributed approaches. Thus, they are apt to suffer malicious attacks. On the contrary, blockchain is a secured and distributed ledger that can provide a fully distributed, provably secure, and consensus solution. This paper x-rays different potentials as well as some challenges of proposed blockchain-based approaches for several network security services. To this end, theoretical underpinnings of numerous papers published in high ranked scientific journals are utilized in the research for streamlining our assessment and capturing the continuously expanding blockchain domain. Based on a structured, systematic review and thematic content analysis of the discovered literature, we present some blockchain-based techniques for providing security services. Furthermore, we experimentally determined the individual efficiency of some blockchain-based techniques providing security services. This is achieved by employing TestRpc and AppDetectivePro to evaluate the performance of each technique. The results show that blockchain-based techniques are over 90% efficient in providing security services. Finally, foreseeable challenges associated with blockchain-based security service are also discussed to prod further research.

The study finds that FDI and OFDI have obvious threshold effect on the innovation ability of various regions in China, and the threshold variable is regional financial development: only when the level of financial development exceeds the threshold, the effect of FDI and OFDI on the improvement of regional innovation ability is more significant. In the future, China should make every effort to improve the level of financial development, and more vigorously promote the development of regional innovation capacity based on the policy of " bringing in " and "going out".

Carbon Monoxide is one of the most severe air pollutants. The reduction in ambient air quality caused by CO pollution will have an effect on health. CO gas is toxic in blood because it binds easily to hemoglobin. It can even be fatal because it deprives the heart, central nervous system, and respiratory tract of oxygen. The goal of this study is to determine the development of stage an IoT-based tool for monitoring and detecting Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas. The research method is a research and development method that refers to a spiral development model that generates four syntaxes, namely requirements analysis, design, construction, and testing. The MQ-7 sensor was chosen to detect the presence of CO gas. The controllers Arduino Nano and ESP32 receive gas data from the sensor, send it to the smartphone application, and display the data on the LCD. The sensor can be used as a CO gas detector, according to a comparison of data from the MQ-7 sensor and COmeter test results, with an average data difference of 4.99 ppm for Carbon Monoxide testing in vehicle exhaust gas and 3.76 ppm for Carbon Monoxide testing in cigarette smoke. The study yielded a Carbon Monoxide gas detector and a monitoring app for an IoT-enabled smartphone. Testing of tools to test functionality reveals that the function's feasibility is 100%. As a result, the developed monitoring tool is suitable for use as a Carbon Monoxide gas detection tool.

The "No. 1 central document of the Central Committee" in 2018 specifically pointed out that "the new county sages" should play a positive role in rural governance. However, although a new county sage has played an immeasurable role in the process of participating in rural social governance, it also faces many difficulties. Therefore, only by putting forward relevant guiding countermeasures against these difficulties can the national strategy be implemented.

Brick is an essential building material for quickening growth, especially in Kabupaten Ketapang, the largest district in the province of West Kalimantan at 31,580 km2. Plastic waste has a lifespan of between 500 billion and 1 trillion years. In order to support the acceleration of development in Kabupaten Ketapang, and due to the fact that plastic waste is classified as an element that is difficult to decompose and maintain the beauty of the environment, and in an effort to reduce the use of depleting natural resource materials, the innovation of using Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste as a mixed material for making bricks must be evaluated to determine its effectiveness. In the field, variations of 1:3 and 1:6 were used to evaluate the plastic mixture on brickwork based on SNI and PUBI. The properties of SNI-3-0349-1989 were applied in the brick mix's mix design analysis. A lighter weight was achieved by comparing the volume weight of the bricks to this plastic mixture. In accordance with SNI 16-2094-2000, the maximum compressive strength test for plastic bricks is 50.71 kgf/cm 2 at a mixture variation of 1:3. This measurement of compressive strength is 45 kgf/cm 2 , which is class I. With the addition of plastic to the brick mixture, the compressive strength decreased from 24.31 kgf/cm 2 for a 10% mixture in class III to 22.85 kgf/cm 2 for a 20% mixture in class III to 12.66 kgf/cm 2 for a 40% mixture in class IV and the highest plastic brick specimen's compressive strength, which is 21.89 kgf/cm 2 at a 1:6 variation of 0 percent, falls into the third class, which is 30 kgf/ cm 2. With the addition of plastic to the brick mixture, the compressive strength decreased from 20.04 kgf/cm 2 for a 10% mixture in class III to 11.69 kgf/cm 2 for a 20% mixture in class IV to 9.20 kgf/cm 2 for a 40% mixture in class IV.

The aim of this paper is to show, through an overview of the field of application of wood, how wood stands, as a means of materialization, in relation to other factors that determine the oriental-type town house in Sarajevo. We especially want to highlight those places in the spatial structure of the house where wood, as an authentic material of the climate, influenced some materialization solutions, as well as places where specific requirements (primarily those from the spiritual sphere) reached for wood as the most suitable material for the realization of the desired architectural expressions. The paper presents examples of oriental-type townhouses in Sarajevo that have been preserved to this day. In the end, our wish is to bring the essence of this architecture closer to the scope of this work, so that with construction today and tomorrow we can achieve continuity with tradition, that is, those values that are still relevant for us today.

With the development of modern manufacturing industry, various kinds of mechanical equipment are applied more and more widely. However, once such equipment fails, it will not only cause losses to the company, but also may cause casualties even in serious cases. At present, most fault diagnosis of devices relies on feature extraction methods, usually based on information processing technology, to extract fault features manually, to identify device faults according to the differences of fault features, and combined with classifiers. Obviously, this method needs prior knowledge and professional support, and the accuracy of fault diagnosis cannot be guaranteed. This project uses the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) which is widely used in industry and the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model which has advantages in image processing to detect the faults of devices. The model is trained using a sound dataset for investigation and inspection of faulty industrial machines that is publicly available on the Web. GMM and tensorflow-keras framework are built using Python language to build convolution neural network model, and the recognition accuracy of the two algorithms is analyzed. The results show that when the training data is small, the recognition accuracy of GMM is 73%, while that of convolution neural network model is 73.2%. When the training data is large, the recognition accuracy of GMM is 75.8%, and that of convolution neural network is 94.2%. When the amount of data is increased, the accuracy improvement of GMM is less than that of convolution neural network.

Agricultural land has changed its function in urban areas resulting in narrower agricultural land area and many irrigation networks that are not functioning. This has resulted in many isolated lands that cannot even be served by irrigation, so that the alternative source of agricultural water is local shallow ground well water. With the potential of water sources and limited land area, farming is expected to be able to utilize water efficiently. Small sprinkler irrigation systems such as the 24D Netafim on the market, are expected to be an alternative in providing irrigation and for that it is necessary to test the ability of the irrigation system to vary the distance between the sprinkler and the height of the stick to the irrigation radius and its uniformity for a duration of 15 minutes. The test results showed that the irrigation uniformity was above 85% at the distance between sprinklers of 4.5 m, 5 m and 5.5 m and 6 m with a stick height of 0.5 m and 0.75 m. For stick heights of 1.0 m and 1.25 m at the same sprinkler distance, the uniformity coefficient is less than 85%. While the optimal irrigation radius obtained at a sprinkler distance of 4.5 m, 5 m and 5.5 m is an average of 5.6 m.

Embankment dams have better stability than homogeneous earth dams, resulting in a slimmer design in volume. The weakness of embankment dams lies in the core zone which functions as an impermeable zone. Embankment dams with zonal core is a combination of various material properties. Geometric design and drainage will affect seepage and phreatic line properties that occur, which is due to the complexity of geometry, material parameters and boundary conditions. Thus, the calculation is not as simple as in a homogeneous soil fill dam. The Finite Element Method (FEM) numerical modeling has been widely used for the analysis of seepage and dam stability. The combination of permeability coefficient parameters (k), reservoir water level (h) and seepage path length (L) based on Darcy's and Casagrande's Laws can be used to determine the relationship between seepage parameters in the core zone. This two-dimensional (2D) modeling considers saturated/unsaturated conditions and steady state conditions for each parameter.

The purpose of the construction of the Tugu Dam is to accommodate the potential of rainwater as the main water source used for irrigation water, clean water supply, flood control, Micro Hydro Power Plant and freshwater fisheries. In the implementation of the Tugu dam construction activities, completion delays were caused by several factors. On the existing problems, a research was conducted to analyze the factors causing delays, the most dominating factors and the strategy for solving them. Quantitative methods, data analysis research using factor analysis methods and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS program for data processing. The results of the analysis of 11 variables that affect work delays obtained 2 dominant variables affecting work delays, namely the Situation Factor where the indicator is land acquisition with an index of 73.58% and the Change factor where the indicator is a design change with an index of 73.5%. The form of the settlement strategy is with the active role of the Government and the appropriate selection of experts from planning, implementation and supervision, so that it is hoped that the construction of dams can be carried out on time and with appropriate quality.

Teenagers are currently experiencing rapid social change from traditional society to modern society, which changes norms, values, and lifestyles. Adolescent health is largely determined by their behavior. Risky behaviors and reproductive health problems include unwanted pregnancies (KTD), abortion, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) including Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (HIV), sexual violence, and the problem of limited access to information and health services regarding reproductive health.

NexClass is a Decision Support System which was introduced to support multicriteria classification of alternatives into predefined
non-ordered categories. It was mainly used for decision support in financial domain and segmentation problems. This paper presents an
extension of NexClass DSS to ordinal classification problems related to investment profiles. For each category a threshold is defined, which
indicates its limit level with respect to the evaluation criteria. Then, assignment to classes is based on the concept of non-exclusivity, that
defines at what degree a data tuple or alternative can be included into a specific category. Alternatives are assessed on the evaluation criteria,
and non-excluding degrees are calculated for each class. Finally, an alternative is assigned to the class for which non-excluding degree gets the
lowest value. The NexClass DSS implements the above classification algorithm, providing a user-friendly interface. In the paper we demonstrate
the theory and the model as well as the DSS usage in a classification problem related to investment profiles.

Based on the panel data of 42 prefecture-level cities in the Yangtze River Delta region of China from 2003 to 2017, and based on STIRPAT model and Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory, this paper conducts an empirical analysis on the impact of environmental regulation on industrial pollutants emissions in the Yangtze River Delta region. The results show that there is a nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental regulation, industrial SO 2 and industrial soot. Population size, secondary industry structure and energy consumption have significant promoting effects on the discharge of the three industrial pollutants. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is beneficial to reduce industrial SO 2 and industrial soot discharge, but has no significant effect on industrial wastewater emission reduction. Technological innovation has a significant effect on the emission reduction of three industrial pollutants. Education level can significantly reduce the emission of SO 2 and industrial waste water, but it has no significant effect on the emission of industrial soot. Based on the research results, the government and enterprises should formulate reasonable environmental regulation intensity to promote the development of green and innovative technologies, increase investment in energy conservation and emission reduction technologies, and attract high-quality FDI, so as to reduce the emission of industrial pollutants.
