This study examines the relationship between infrastructure and human development in Java, Indonesia, using regency-level 2002–2005 panel data. We find that improving significantly enhances development. In particular, electricity has a greater influence on than other types of infrastructure, such as clean water, roads or number classrooms per student. for every 1% increase proportion households with electricity, index (HDI) increases by 0.2%. Improvements lead over long run to lesser HDI,...

In this paper, a new design method using space mapping algorithm is presented for the of magnetic systems. The mathematically combines equivalent circuit and finite element optimal achieved by employing quasi-Newton iteration in conjunction with first-order derivative approximations updated classic Broyden formula. Therefore, can preserve computational efficiency accuracy method. Two numerical examples are tested to prove feasibility implementation proposed

This paper presents a shape optimal design method for reducing the higher back-EMF harmonics generated in permanent magnet motors, which torque ripples could occur. The continuum sensitivity formula and finite element are employed to calculate of flux-linkage variables, determine iron pole piece. variables optimized with B-Spline parameterization order provide waveform as close possible sinusoidal form. algorithm is applied three-phase interior motor that contains mount harmonics.

In this paper, we propose a new haptic-assisted virtual cane system operated by simple finger pointing gesture. The is developed two stages: development of visual information delivery assistant (VIDA) with stereo camera and adding tactile feedback interface dual actuators for guidance distance feedbacks. the first stage, user’s automatically detected using color disparity data from images then 3D direction estimated its geometric textural features. Finally, any object within trajectory in...

Insufficient sources of internal financing and inaccessibility external are acknowledged as crucial constraints on new investment for small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study examines how capital structure is related to decision SMEs in Vietnam. In particular, we investigate the effect seek well choice its sources. The main results reveal that with high financial leverage tend engage more seeking investment. Moreover, empirical demonstrate among investment, those higher likely...

Cross-border mergers and acquisitions are a major often politicised component of foreign direct investment. Using data on individual transactions between 1970 2006, we examine the restrictions countries place acquisitions, whether they use these controls to discriminate against foreigners seeking acquire domestic firms, what factors may predict propensity block entry by this method Drawing partly existing literature, test hypotheses that state intervention can be explained characteristics...

How does foreign direct investment (FDI) affect the use of economic coercion? This article argues that while FDI matters, effect depends on entry mode FDI. The interdependence created by not have a monotonic statecraft because relative costs incurred disruption differ depending forms investment. In particular, creates wholly-owned subsidiaries (for example, cross-border mergers and aquisitions) imposes greater to sender's firms than joint ventures with local partners, through incurs for host...

Advances in biomedical research using deep learning techniques have generated a large volume of related literature. However, there is lack scientometric studies that provide bird's-eye view them. This absence has led to partial and fragmented understanding the field its progress.This study aimed gain quantitative qualitative scientific domain by analyzing diverse bibliographic entities represent landscape from multiple perspectives levels granularity.We searched retrieved 978 biomedicine...

Abstract This study investigates China’s international research collaboration with the United States through a bibliometric analysis of coauthorship over time using historical publication data. We investigate from three perspectives: overall, high-impact, and high-technology collaborations data Web Science (WoS), Nature Index, Technology Alert List maintained by U.S. Department State. The results show that is largest collaborator in all aspects, China are each other’s primary collaborators...

Abstract Objective We aimed to identify and understand risk protective factors for suicide among South Korean females by linking survey social media data using interpretable machine learning approaches. Materials Methods collected a wide range of potential including the material, psychosocial, behavioral from detailed survey, which we then linked media. In addition, adopted approaches (1) predict risk, (2) explain relative importance their interactions regarding suicide, (3) individual...

An increasing number of medical journals are using social media to promote themselves and communicate with their readers. However, little is known about how use Twitter what management strategies are.This study aimed understand from a global standpoint. We conducted broad, in-depth analysis all the available accounts indexed by major indexing services, particular focus on networks content.The profiles metadata were analyzed along accounts.The results showed that overall, publishers used...

The phenomenal increase in mergers and acquisitions (M&As) activities brought a widespread adoption of merger control laws throughout the world, including both developed developing countries. Governments however, responded differently towards regulation M&A by adopting enforcing regimes with varying degree stringency. This article examines impact electoral system on governmental intervention & (M&A) activities. Empirical analyses data set that includes all transactions from 1975 to 2006...

The authors bring together and extend three strands of existing research: the propensity democracies to ally with each other, effects alliances being institutionalized, causal impact democracy in promoting investment. This literature is applied corporate alliances, predicting probability that announced alliance contracts will be completed by participants. find democratic political regimes generate rules create shareholder latter promotes institutionalization alliances. Corporate both,...

Objective Although there were few studies on how suicidal users behave Twitter, they only investigated partial aspects such as tweeting frequency and tweet length. Therefore, we aim to understand the various information behavior of in South Korea. Methods To achieve this goal, annotated 20,000 tweets identified 1097 with expression suicidality (i.e. tweets) 229 experimental group). Using data, a user profile analysis, comparative analysis control group, tweets/hashtags performed. Results Our...

The “beauty device” market, which enables simple skincare for those with busy lives, is growing steadily as an increasing number of people are trying to take care their skin at home save time and money. As opposed dermatologists esthetics centers, require regular visits, the fact that can be easily managed in leisure hours attracts consumers who value convenience. Thus, various beauty-care devices use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been launched. However, case using LEDs, pressure...

In this study, we implemented machine learning models that can detect suicidality posts on Twitter. We randomly selected and annotated 20,000 tweets explored metadata text features to build effective models. Metadata were studied in great details understand their possibility importance detection Results showed posting type (i.e., reply or not) time-related such as the month, day of week, time (AM vs. PM) most important Specifically, probability a social media post being suicidal is higher if...

This study aims to develop a productivity index which takes into account the multidimensional characteristics of productivities. Our (MPI) not only measures individual productivities economic resources but also evaluate enhancing general capacities economy. Individual indices such as labor are limited because they do consider factors, globalization economies and market institutional variables, that could have profound impacts on productivity. The Productivity Index is measured for 60...

본 논문은 최근의 정치양극화와 민주주의 퇴행이 포퓰리즘과 정치의 사법화 등으로 표출된 민주주의의 무능과 문제해결능력의 부재로 야기되었다는 점에 주목하여, 문제해결능력에 대한 기존의 주장을 살펴보고 이를 기반으로 한국인의 인식을 분석한다. 민주주의를 가능케 했던 자유, 평등, 그리고 절차적 정의라는 정당성만으로 지켜내는 것이 힘든 현실에서 민주주의는 구성원의 삶을 더 풍요롭게 할 능력을 지니고 있는가? 최근 한국 내재적 가치 및 규범이 퇴행하고 있는 징후들이 나타나고 상황에서 도구적/수단적 가치에 대중의 인식은 지속성에 있어 중요한 변수이다. 도구적 가치(문제해결능력)에 주장들을 검토하고, 조사하였다. 조사의 결과는 대하여 인식에는 세대차이, 이념적 차이가 확연하게 존재하고, 이러한 세대갈등 정치적/정서적 양극화의 심화는 퇴행을 공고화할 위험이 있음을 제시한다.
