Skywalk facility utilization and factors influencing its use: A case study of Mumbai Metropolitan Region, India

The present study analyzes pedestrian skywalks in Mumbai Metropolitan Region by collecting video and pedestrian perception data at six skywalk locations. Video data helps determine skywalks' capacity utilization and level of service (LOS), and the pedestrian perceptions help determine various factors influencing its use. LOS evaluation shows that skywalks in MMR are underutilized, with their capacity utilization rate varying from 3 to 27%. Descriptive analysis of pedestrian perception indicates weather protection as a significant consideration of pedestrians in selecting the skywalks. People using the skywalks prefer using it bidirectionally, i.e., while going towards the railway station and leaving it. However, pedestrians defer using the facility if approaching it requires deviation from their frequently used path. Selective preferences of 1118 pedestrians modeled using binary logistic regression show that an increase in the frequency of skywalk use, ease of usage, security at night, and skywalk length positively impacts skywalk utilization while increased familiarity with location and age negatively impacts its use. Pedestrians occupation also influences pedestrian skywalk selection, with students less likely to use skywalk facilities than servicemen. Providing elevators/escalators, improved security at night by sufficient illumination, security guards, CCTV surveillance, timely maintenance of the facility, and strategically locating the entry-exit points can improve skywalk facility utilization. Insights from this study can help decision-makers improve existing skywalks and efficiently plan similar facilities in the future.

Co-infection Paragonimiasis-pulmonary Tuberculosis Discovered from a Man in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire: Case Report

Introduction: Paragonimiasis is a very uncommon zoonosis in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a trematodial disease contracted by eating fresh or undercooked crustaceans harboring a parasite of the genus Paragonimus. About fifteen species of Paragonimus are pathogenic to humans. In Africa, three species are frequently encountered: Paragonimus africanus, Paragonimus uterobilatéralis, and Paragonimus westermani. Clinically, it has similarities with pulmonary tuberculosis so that confusion is quickly made. Case Report: We report here a case of paragonimiasis discovered incidentally in a security guard man, 26 years old, originated from Côte d’Ivoire, who consulted in 2019 to the Medical Teaching Hospital of Cocody, for hemoptysis under a chronical mode. Results: After examination, the disease of paragonimiasis was diagnosed by positive direct smear. Otherwise, patient was positive to TB after a molecular test. An anti-tuberculosis cure was proposed, and a treatment with praziquantel 600 mg (2 tabs x3 / d for 4 days) allowed us to obtain biological cure without major side effects for paragonimiasis. Conclusion: The diagnostic issues of paragonimiasis constitute a great challenge for health systems already weakened by the instability due to covid-19 pandemic. The insufficient resources allocated to the health sector showing the lack of integration of the diagnostics of paragonimiasis to pulmonary tuberculosis program are crucial. The strengthening of human resources, as well as the improvement of the technical platform of reference laboratories in regions, are really needed.

THE LEGAL STATUS OF SECURITY PERSONNEL. SELECTION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS

By introducing detailed regulations concerning the requirements to be met by a candidate for security personnel, the legislator determined the specificity of employment for this group of professionals. The basic and fundamental question in terms of rules of employment is whether access to this profession should be regulated, or whether deregulation would be the right solution? The Polish legislator decided on partial deregulation in terms of the aforementioned group of employees. This deregulation manifests itself in the fact that a person performing tasks and duties of a security guard is not required to possess a licence for that kind of professional activities, while maintaining the qualification requirements neccesary of certain activities named by the legislator. It appears that the main reason for limited deregulation was a desire to maintain the prestige of the profession, which could have been enhanced by provisions introducing the requirement to hold a license. However, it should be emphasized that another reason for restricting access to the profession is a matter of security. The dualism of regulations in this respect, however

Evaluation of Attitudes and Knowledge Levels of University Employess towards Rational Drug Use and Health Perception

This survey study was aimed at determining the Rational Drug Use (RDU) behaviors and health perceptions of the staff working in a state university. The population of this cross-sectional study consists of all the staff working in a state university in Turkey.

Well-being in background music experiences: views of service sector employees on working with music 
 Salespeople, waiters, security guards, and hotel workers hear an average of eight hours of music during their workday. In most cases, they do not get to choose the music themselves. According to companies providing and purchasing background music services for service sector workplaces and commercial spaces, the rationale behind its use is to increase sales. However, music is also a spatial element to ”work with”. In this article, we ask what it is like to work with music in service jobs and how employees see the contribution of music to well-being at work. Our material is a ”Background music in the workplace” questionnaire (747 answers) and a form interview material of employees of the Koskikeskus shopping center in Tampere, Finland (66 answers). Respondents report, among other things, whether they feel the music in the workspace is for a particular group of people; who chooses the music; and whether discussions and negotiations concerning music use take place, with other employees or with customers. We analyze the material, emphasizing the respondents’ statements about well-being as expressions of coping, well-being, strain, and satisfaction. We discuss the results with a qualitative study of the topic that emphasizes music as a social and spatial element in the sales situation (Payne et al 2017, Kontukoski & Uimonen 2019). Our data shows that well-being at work and perceived musical agency interact. Occupational well-being plays an important role in looking specifically at work-related well-being and background music. The workspace changes the meanings of music to those of professionality, rendering the employees’ personal relationships to music secondary.

An Expert System for Weapon Identification and Categorization Using Machine Learning Technique to Retrieve Appropriate Response

In response to any terrorist attack on hospitals, airports, shopping malls, schools, universities, colleges, railway stations, passport offices, bus stands, dry ports and the other important private and public places, a proper plan will need to be developed effective response. In normal moments, security guards are deployed to prevent criminals from doing anything wrong. For example, someone is moving around with a weapon, and security guards are watching its movement through closed circuit television (CCTV). Meanwhile, they are trying to identify his weapon in order to plan an appropriate response to the weapon he has. The process of manually identifying weapons is man-made and slow, while the security situation is critical and needs to be accelerated. Therefore, an automated system is needed to detect and classify the weapon so that appropriate response can be planned quickly to ensure minimal damage. Subject to previous concerns, this study is based on the Convoluted Neural Network (CNN) model using datasets that are assembled on the YOLO and you only see once. Focusing on real-time weapons identification, we created a data collection of images of multiple local weapons from surveillance camera systems and YouTube videos. The solution uses parameters that describe the rules for data generation and problem interpretation. Then, using deep convolutional neural network models, an accuracy of 97.01% is achieved.

Private Military and Security Companies and The Militarization of Humanitarianism

The widespread use of private military and security companies (PMSCs) in United Nations peacebuilding missions often undermines the effectiveness of these missions. PMSCs tend to encourage, in unnecessary ways, what is called security risk management and promote the militarization of humanitarian efforts. They encourage humanitarian aid organizations to protect their personnel with barbed wire fences, security guards, armed convoys, and secure aid compounds, even if the security risks are relatively low. Consequently, these militarized humanitarian efforts heighten the perception of risks and intensify security measures, which create physical and psychological barriers between humanitarian aid personnel and the local communities in which they carry out their tasks. This situation undermines local ownership of peacebuilding efforts and makes them less responsive to the local communities involved in these efforts. This article provides a comparative analysis of the nature of this problem and its effects in the Global South.

Knowledge, Practices and Attitude of Health Care Support Personnel on COVID-19: A Comparative Study Bhutan and Sri Lanka

Background: Health care support personnel are more vulnerable to COVID-19 due to the nature of their work. Their comparatively lower education qualifications, the important service they provide and associated risks of infection to themselves and others are high. This study attempts to explore and compare the knowledge, practices, and attitude of health care support personnel in Bhutan and Sri Lanka.
 Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study using a purposive stratified sampling method with a questionnaire administered on knowledge, practices, and attitude was conducted from September 2020 to June 2021. The analysis was run using SPSS 21.
 Results: There were 775 (383 Sri Lankans, 392 Bhutanese) respondents. They consist of attendants (204), health care assistants (labourers) (355), cleaners (140), ambulance drivers (35) and security guards (41). Their levels of education were Grade 12 (24.5%), Grade 10 (41.2%), Grade 8-5(22.2%), and no formal education (12.1%). The majority (66.3%) had a ‘good’ knowledge level of COVID-19. Sri Lankan and Bhutanese mean knowledge score is 7.55 and 7.44 respectively (p<0.05). Overall, not much difference is observed in Practice related to COIVD-19 in both countries. Sri Lankans reported less fear of contact with COVID patients than Bhutanese (p<0.05), but more Bhutanese feel safe at work than Sri Lankans (p<0.05). More Bhutanese (90.8%) report satisfaction with measures taken by their hospital compared to Sri Lankans (49.3%).
 Conclusion: Sri Lanka reports slightly higher knowledge test means compared to Bhutan. While more Bhutanese report fear of contact with COVID-19 patients, more Bhutanese report satisfaction with measures taken by their hospitals for their safety, comparatively. It is important to explore the low levels of appreciation perceived, fears reported, and study ways to improve the psychological well-being of healthcare support staff.

Perkembangangan peran pecalang sebagai lembaga keamanan adat di masyarakat Bali Indonesia

The island of Bali is known as one of the world's tourist destinations with all its unique traditions and customary laws. The Balinese have a traditional security institution known as the Pecalang whose role is different from that of the police. The purpose of this article is to identify the position of Pecalang according to Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2019 concerning Traditional Villages and the development of the role of Pecalang. The method used is a mix of methods, namely normative and empirical methods. The results show that the existence of Pecalang is regulated in Law Number 9 of 1979 concerning Village Government and Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2019 concerning Traditional Villages. Pecalang is formed in each of the customary village residents (pekraman) who have the task of maintaining security and order. The role of pecalang is currently experiencing development, which leads to the business, and can even be used as a political tool. What stands out is the case of the closure of the Hare Krsna hostel where the function as a security guard was instead used as a tool by the village to bring order to religious groups or sects that were allegedly not in accordance with community traditions. The police should have been involved because they thought it was a religious matter and their area. The regulation of pecalang duties needs to be re-examined in the Perda so that its function as a guardian of order is clear and not vice versa.How to cite item: Indrayanti, K. (2021).

SECURING THE MALL: DAILY HOSPITALITY SECURITY PRACTICES IN SÃO PAULO

Abstract Security-whether public or private-is a key tool for managing populations and integral for creating urban spaces. This paper examines how mall security practices in São Paulo work to create safe and clean worlds for customers, distinguishing it from an cityscape that is seen as violent, dangerous, and populated with criminals. Drawing on five months of ethnographic research and interviews with the security team of the “Rivertown” shopping center in São Paulo and various private security employees, we show how the mall is secured by means of a set of practices based on “hospitality security,” paying special attention to the key role that security guard behavior plays in this process.

Estimating the training effect through the levels of trait anger, anger expression, and coping with the stress of private security guards.

Professionally, private security guards are expected to manage their anger and stress successfully. The primary purpose of this study is to determine stress and anger levels of private security guards working in the Ankara Electricity, Gas and Bus Operations Organization. The secondary aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the training program given to private security guards within the scope of anger and stress control. The effects of training on 690 private security guards who participated in the training program were investigated. In the first part of the study, the validity and reliability of the Trait Anger, Anger Expression Scale and Coping with Stress Scale were investigated, and in the second part, the effectiveness of training given to 690 private security guards was examined. Also, as a comparison group, 201 private security guards who did not participate in the training were reached and the scales were applied. The results showed that private security guards had an inability to cope with stress and anger was triggered easily. The average treatment effect was E[Y(1) - Y(0)| X] = -0.111 and statistically significant. It shows that training had a significant effect on anger. Anger decreased when stress-coping behaviours increased and the training was effective. It is important that training about anger and stress control should be given to security forces at regular intervals.

Smart Contract Innovation and Blockchain-Based Tokenization in Higher Education

Blockchain which includes smart contract and tokenization features is the latest technology in the world, especially Indonesia. Smart contracts and tokenization make it very easy for users and can maintain valid data security, but there are still many universities that have not implemented the system so they have to involve many parties and costs. The problem taken in this study is the payment process for transactions such as credit and data processing that is vulnerable to illegal data leakage. This study aims to develop a smart contract system and blockchain tokenization in universities in the payment transaction process. The method used in this research is literature review analysis and testing method. The implementation of smart contracts and tokenization can replace third parties as security guards of transaction data with all Blockchain users paying attention and ensuring the integrity of the entire process and activity. This of course can avoid problems that arise from the presence of third parties in the transaction process. So it can be concluded that the implementation of smart contracts and Blockchain tokenization in payment transactions is the right solution to be applied in the payment transaction process at universities.
