This study aims to thoroughly analyse the intricate relationship between asset quality and lending growth among major national banks in UAE from 2019 2023. Utilizing pooled EGLS method reviewing annual panel data collected financial statements of 10 during this timeframe, findings reveal that return on assets (ROA) positively influences loan growth, while non-performing loans negatively affect it, as expected. Interestingly, capital adequacy ratio seems have an unexpected negative impact...

Most common cases of Venous thromboembolism (VTE) seen for those who underwent lower limb reconstruction and orthopedic trauma surgery in general. VTE was a rare surgical complication after shoulder replacement surgery. This study highlights that pulmonary embolism following upper extremity increased prevalence without currently guidelines prevention during surgeries especially arthroplasty surgeries. 80-year-old female patient presented at clinic with right pain. Clinical features...

Sound pressure levels (SPL) in dB are the traditional noise measurement, but measures alone limit characterization of complex urban acoustic environment. The aim this paper is to apply alpha and beta ecoacoustic indices from soundscape ecology at two contrasting locations corresponding an mixed-use corridor a deciduous forest. Twenty mean dB(A) calculated 2,798 three-minute recordings taken every 26 min over 28-day period. Acoustic summarized by case with hour-of-day plots 7- time series...

Abstract This paper presents a manifesto for the future design of human-made systems and engage this reflection by promoting computational human factors engineering (HFE) approach. In paper, we concentrate on fact that well-being sustainability objectives are inseparable. Thus, paper’s primary focus is to demonstrate simulation-based methodology, digital human-in-the-loop (D-HIL), which utilizes modeling (DHM) platform inject HFE principles early in design. The D-HIL methodology enables...

Embedding ergonomics in the design process is often delayed as it requires building physical prototypes and human subject data collection. This causes retrofitting or expensive late changes which increase overall cost time-to-market. paper presents a computational methodology that employs Digital Human Modelling (DHM) research surrogate modelling technique to integrate early design. The goal of this provide proactive assessment toolset allows designers identify effects variables on...

Large-scale companies across various sectors maintain substantial IT infrastructure to support their operations and provide quality services for customers employees. These are managed by teams who deal directly with incident reports (i.e., those generated automatically through autonomous systems or human operators). (1) Background: Early identification of major incidents can a significant advantage reducing the disruption normal business operations, especially preventing catastrophic...

Motivator and demotivator plays an important role in software industry. It encompasses performance productivity which are necessary for projects of Agile development (ASD). Existing studies comprise motivators demotivators ASD, exist dispersed form. That is why there a need detailed systematic literature review to the factors sub-factors effecting ASD. A comprehensive executed gather critical success motivator development. Thus, ongoing study classifies into four classes, i.e., people,...

Most power transformer faults are caused by iron core and winding faults. At present, the method that is most widely used for identification vibration analysis method. The generally determines degree of fault analyzing energy spectrum signal. However, noise reduction step in this complicated costly, effect denoising needs to be further improved make results more accurate. In addition, it difficult perform an accurate determination early mild failure due on results. This paper presents a...

As sustainable metropolitan regions require more densely built-up areas, a comprehensive understanding of the urban acoustic environment (AE) is needed. However, datasets AE and well-established research methods for are scarce. Datasets audio recordings tend to be large lot storage space as well computationally expensive analyses. Thus, knowledge about long-term limited. In recent years, however, these limitations have been steadily overcome, allowing analysis AE. this respect, objective...

Research about human perception of the acoustic environment is dominated by use sound pressure levels (SPL) or proprietary psychoacoustic indicators, limiting link between and to only these two approaches. The aim this study make connections soundscape descriptors ecoacoustic indices so that a perceptual dimension ascertained. employs laboratory experiment where 309 participants were exposed imagery from nine different urban land uses (n = 2,781) according protocol DIN ISO 12913-2....

A microservice architecture (MSA) style is an emerging approach which gaining strength with the passage of time. Micro services are recommended by a number researchers to overcome limitations and issues encountered usage aging method monolithic styles. Previously applications cannot be decomposed into smaller different services. Monolithic styles application was one build application. The issue resolution has focus on lightweight independent in form sizable services, self-contained units...

Computational human factors tools are often not fully-integrated during the early phases of product design. Often, conventional ergonomic practices require physical prototypes and subjects which costly in terms finances time. Ergonomics evaluations executed on has limitations increasing overall rework as more iterations required to incorporate design changes related that found later stage, affects cost development. This paper proposes a methodology based Digital Human Modeling (DHM) approach...

Detection of potential failures and human error their propagation over time at an early design stage will help prevent system adverse accidents. Hence, there is a need for failure analysis technique that assess functional/component failures, errors, how they propagate to affect the overall. Prior work has introduced functional identification (FFIP), which considers both mechanical level stages. However, it fails consider specific actions (expected or unexpected) contributed toward error. In...

Abstract Human error is one of the primary reasons for accidents in complex industries like aviation, nuclear power plant management, and health care. Physical cognitive workload, flawed information processing, poor decision making are some that make humans vulnerable to lead failures accidents. In many failures, oftentimes, vulnerabilities embedded system, form design deficiencies human factors, latent or catastrophic but last link a operator who gets blamed worse, injured. This paper...
