This article proposes a smart irrigation system that helps to maintain a balcony plants. The system provides real-time information about the environmental parameters as humidity level of soil, temperature of surrounding environment, and status of the watering reservoir. Fuzzy logic controller is used to compute input parameters like soil moisture, temperature water tank level and...
Synchronous motors are essential in various industrial and commercial applications because of their efficiency and constant speed operation. Accurate modelling of these motors is crucial for optimizing performance, control, and maintenance. Traditional modelling methods, such as the d-q reference frame method, often fall short in terms of complexity and accuracy, especially under...
This study evaluates the performance of the Viola Jones and YOLOv3 algorithms for facial recognition under different conditions and highlights their strengths and weaknesses. Analysis focusses on facial emotions, angle recognition, lighting, and the effects of hidden facial features. YOLOv3 outperformed the Viola-Jones algorithm in angle-based recognition with more robustness...
This article investigates the usage of GitHub Copilot, an artificial intelligence-powered coding assistant owned by Microsoft and GitHub, in the process of learning and teaching web development both in formal academic, and informal settings. We dive into the idea behind utilizing GitHub Copilot and highlight its most common and relevant use cases which can be used to learn Web...
Agility in decision making was always crucial for business managers. Recent crisis emphasized even more how critical is to have the analyses available in real time. The complexity of the new challenges and the reduced reaction time to adapt according to fast changing environment pushed for automatization of data processing and developing new levels of data modelling. Artificial...
The urgent need to combat global warming and environmental pollution underscores the importance of developing energy-efficient systems that effectively reduce emissions. One of the possible strategies for achieving energy efficiency consists in diminishing the mass of mechanical systems since mass reduction implies decreased inertia, lower fuel and energy consumption, and...
Networks serve as a metaphor for understanding various phenomena in humanities, encompassing the circulation of ideas, people, and artifacts. This research employs network analysis, drawing from H. C. White’s concept of netdom, to capture social and language patterns within Ljubljana’s Arhitektura magazine from 1931 to 1934. Its objective was to map the socio-semantic network of...
Widespread livelihood shocks and vulnerability in rural areas highlight the critical need to extend the provision of social protection interventions, as targeted to reduce vulnerabilities and poverty. Evaluating the real effects of social protection instruments on rural communities is an important concern for governments and policymakers. Hence, the objectives of this review were...
Research has shown that food insecurity in households and communities are increasing globally. More people are reported to now having difficulty in accessing safe and quality foods. This study assessed household food and water access as predictors of food security among rural households. This is a cross sectional community survey which used validated tools to collect data among...
Police organizations worldwide have introduced various organizational and operational changes to cope with the demands placed on them by the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic as effectively as possible. The intensification in the use of digital communication channels is one of those adaptations that enabled the functioning of the police at the organizational level, but...
This article aims to examine socioeconomic determinants of suicide rates across European countries. Using Bayesian Model Averaging and panel data specification with fixed effects on a sample of 25 European countries and two subsamples between 2001 and 2019, a data-driven model was estimated. Empirical findings for the whole sample suggested GDP per capita as a regressor with very...
The current work assessed different aspects, steps and conditions that help people communicate appropriately in the current globalized world deeply affected by modern technologies, such the Internet and artificial intelligence. The results reported in this manuscript are based on an analysis of eight studies in different aspects of human communication and a review of 70 papers...
This review covers peer-reviewed publications about free time of school-aged children and youth in Croatia, published since 1990. We briefly present these publications and extract their common points. Based on that, we suggest possible addition to leisure time activities of school-aged children and youth.
In the contemporary world, disinformation has serious consequences, including undermining democracy, the economy and public health. They influence electoral processes, undermine trust in companies, encourage divisions and divert attention from key issues. Social networks play a key role in spreading disinformation and lack of transparency. Prevention of disinformation requires...
Methods are arising in first-person research aimed for deeper understanding of lived experience. Here we compare two of the most frequently used methods – Descriptive Experience Sampling and the micro phenomenological interview. Both look at short episodes of experience. Both have safeguards to limit biases and distortions from first-person reporting. But these methods are still...
The aim of the article is to propose bounded epistemic rationality as a concept that blurs the divide between normative and descriptive approaches to the study of rationality. I illustrate the contrast between philosophy as a normative discipline and psychology as the empirical study of cognition and show that unattainable standards and the arbitration problem pose a challenge...
