Video Based Fire and Smoke Detection Using Deep Learning

The objective of this work is to design models for computer vision-based fire and smoke detection. CCTV cameras are installed at major public locations, homes, and buildings in every city. These cameras are often used for surveillance purposes and used mostly for forensic purposes. As a side advantage, these cameras can also be used for detection of fire and smoke in the camera field of view. IoT based sensors are the traditional way of detecting fire and smoke. Additionally, video streams from the camera can also be processed to detect fire and smoke events. This will enable additional security in cases when IoT sensors fail to detect a real fire and smoke event. It is proposed to use the advancements of AI/ML for computer vision-based fire and smoke detection.

Managing Talent Among Healthcare Human Resource: Strategies for a New Normal

The healthcare industry is always susceptible to diverse changes and technology advancements. This mandates that the sector updates its skill set that can help in complying with compliance and regulatory requirements. COVID-19 has added to the complexity by bringing in changes in the working environment, healthcare professionals’ perceptions and patients’ expectations. It has clearly shown that digital technologies are rapidly revolutionising healthcare and also having an impact on human resources. Talent management in the changing scenario is a must for all organisations looking towards resilience, sustainability and gaining a competitive advantage over others. Purpose: The purpose of the current study is to explore the factors that have influenced healthcare talent management during the pandemic, identify the challenges and put forth a strategy for post-pandemic talent management. Design/Methodology/Approach: A literature-based search for identifying articles related to talent management in healthcare during the pandemic, the challenges and lessons learned has been carried out. Findings: Based on the findings, it is suggested that while traditional ways of human resource planning are still applicable, it is imperative that digital tools be utilised for all activities especially talent management. Digital tools such as electronic medical records, telemedicine, computerised physician order entry systems are becoming an inbuilt culture in healthcare. So, while selecting, developing and retaining talent, the existence of digital skill set, capability to work with the tools or learn and adopt should be considered as a mandatory requirement.

Language exposure practices among Hasidic Yiddish-Hebrew speaking children – in support of Yiddish vitality in Israel

Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic communities in Israel maintain the use of Yiddish as a prestigious language, connecting generations and preserving the communities’ traditional way of living (Hary and BenorBerlin, 2019)). Yiddish, the Community Language (CL), is supported within the family and the Hasidic community outside the family, while Hebrew, the Majority Language (ML), is used with members outside the community. Hasidic communities present a unique model of bilingualism to be discussed within the framework of the Ethno-linguistic Vitality Theory (Giles et al., 1977). The current study presents language exposure practices among bilingual Yiddish-Hebrew-speaking children in Israel and aims to reveal its possible influence on both language abilities and the communities’ vitality.Thirty-five parents and children (aged 37 months–80 months) participated in the study. Parents filled out the Bilingual Parents' Questionnaire (BIPAQ) (Abutbul-Oz and Armon-Lotem, 2022) addressing the children’s language-exposure practices as well as linguistic abilities and children's ML-Hebrew abilities were assessed with the Goralnik (2009) standardized test. Results indicated higher exposure to Yiddish when significant differences between daily hours of exposure for each language, number of months in an educational setting of CL-Yiddish and ML-Hebrew as well as the richness of the languages the children are exposed to. Furthermore, interpersonal exchanges conducted in CL-Yiddish outside the family supported Yiddish and influenced ML-Hebrew abilities; more usage of Yiddish with grandparents, teachers and peers was related to lower results of ML-Hebrew assessment whereas Yiddish use with younger siblings was related to higher evaluation of Yiddish abilities. Support of CL-Yiddish usage combined with its prestigious status and demographic characteristics of the Hasidic communities suggests a high vitality of the Yiddish-speaking community in Israel and its success in maintaining its language despite the dominance of the majority language (Hebrew).

Aulukluki neqkat: Centering care of salmon and relational research in Indigenous fisheries in the Kuskokwim River, Alaska

This Indigenous-led project aims to better understand historical and contemporary ways in which Alaska Native Peoples steward salmon and the values connected to salmon stewardship. Indigenous Peoples have stewarded Alaska lands and waters for thousands of years yet have been largely excluded from western science and management systems. In this project we utilize a participatory approach that allows for the equitable valuing of ideas and knowledges to document the breadth and depth of Yup’ik and Athabascan knowledge and governance systems in southwestern Alaska. We reshape research methodologies by centering Indigenous frameworks and research methodologies including circle dialogues and multi-generational interviews led by Indigenous scholars and students in their home communities and regions. In this paper, we share the Yup’ik and Athabascan values, knowledge, management, and governance mechanisms that can improve the long-term sustainability and equity of Alaska salmon systems. This research elevates the voices of Alaska Native salmon stewards and experts from the Kuskokwim Bay and the Kuskokwim River. We elaborate on five key themes that emerged from this research including: traditional Indigenous ways of life, Indigenous stewardship, self-determination, food and livelihood sovereignty, and ecosystem changes, and identify a more equitable and sustainable path forward for salmon and people in Alaska.

The Effectiveness of Using Short Stories on Developing Some Creative Reading Skills for University Students

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using short stories for developing creative reading skills for Jazan University students. The current study used the quasi-experimental research design. The researchers divided the participants into two groups. The experimental group used short stories, while the control group did not receive any training except for the traditional approach. The main question raised in this research is ‘what is the effectiveness of using short stories on developing some creative reading skills among Jazan University students?’ To this end, the researcher collected data through a creative reading skills test. Furthermore, a model of the teaching program, based on using short stories, was improved and tested with a group of students in Jazan University in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The results of the present research showed that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group students and those of the control group students in both creative reading skills and overall creative reading in favor of the experimental group. The results revealed that using short stories helped the experimental group students develop their creative reading skills and overall creative reading more effectively than those of the control group who were taught using the traditional way. The conclusion of the current research showed that the traditional way used in teaching reading skills in EFL classrooms should be developed to help students improve their reading skills.

Application of analytical quality by design (AQbD) for stability-indicating method development for quantification of nevirapine and its degradation products

Development of stability-indicating method by liquid chromatography are always a challenge for analytical researchers. A traditional way is by varying one chromatographic parameter at a time assessing the responses from each test. Recent international guidelines encourage the implementation of systematic approaches in analytical development, such as Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD). The aim of this paper was to develop, using the AQbD approach, an efficient and selective stability-indicating method by high performance liquid chromatography for nevirapine and its related substances. The Analytical Target Profile (ATP) and the Critical Method Attributes (CMA) were determined. Through the risk assessment studies, the high-risk analytical conditions were considered as Critical Method Parameters (CMP) and they were screened and optimized by Design of Experiment (DoE). The Method Operable Design Region (MODR) was defined using Monte Carlo Simulation. A control strategy was established by the definition of the system suitability of the analytical procedure. Optimal chromatographic conditions were achieved using an isocratic elution consisting of a mixture of 5 mM ammonium formate buffer pH 5.4/acetonitrile/methanol (60:20:20), with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, oven temperature of 30 °C, injection volume of 5 µL and an ACE C18 250 mm x 4,6 mm x 5 µm chromatographic column. Finally, analytical validation and forced degradation studies confirmed the performance of the analytical method. From the estimation of measurement uncertainty, strategies were outlined so that the method is fit for purpose throughout its life cycle. Additionally, guard bands were defined, changing the specification for nevirapine quantification from 90 % to 100 % to the acceptance zone of 92.1–107.9 %. The AQbD method development provided strong justifications for the selection of important parameters for nevirapine method during regulatory filling. Furthermore, with the pass/fail decision rule using guard band, restricted acceptance zones were defined, reducing the risk to the consumer of taking a drug product whose batch was inadequately approved.

Research on the Marketing Strategy of Tik Tok

The rise of TikTok has been followed by people all over the world, which has not only changed the traditional way of entertainment and consumption but also brought challenges to people to a certain extent. Research on TikTok has been increasing in recent years, with past studies mainly focusing on how it manages to market itself in the Chinese market to attract users. As well as how it associates the software with live streaming to sell goods. This paper studied the double-sided impact of TikToks marketing approach in China and internationally by reading academic articles from China and other countries. It can be concluded that people not only in China but also in the United States face the problem of spending too much time on TikTok. At the same time, TikTok content is also resisted by some people due to gaps in the vetting mechanism and differences in national religious beliefs. It has a detrimental effect on the marketing of TikTok companies.

Contemporizing Earthen Architecture - A Futuristic and Sustainable Approach

Abstract Utmost metropolises and municipalities in developing countries are passing a massive migration of population from pastoral areas. The maturity of the pastoral population migrates to civic areas hoping to find a job and an advanced income for their survival. This large affluence creates a high demand for civic casing and structure, which the maturity of the settlers cannot go. also, the inadequate use of low- cost traditional structure accoutrements and construction ways in domestic construction has redounded in precious casing stock for the maturity of the poor. That's thus a critical need to assess indispensable structure accoutrements and ways that are both affordable and sustainable. Stabilized earth is an indispensable structure material that's significantly cheaper than using conventional slipup and concrete, and is also environmentally sustainable. Earth has been used as a construction material on a global position since age. Earth as the building material gives a lot of potential possibilities & alternative solutions, not only to the architects or the environment-conscious planners & designers, but it will encourage & respect the volunteers of commonality & make them blend towards the field of rethinking sustainable practices with their quality of living & even pave ways for skillful labors in the mainstream of the construction industry. The objective of the study is to understand the potential of the ‘Earth’ as the building material & trace its evolution of construction techniques since the ages by analyzing the ecological aspect, challenges & thermal performance of Earthen Architecture to explore innovative construction techniques in the current context & future trends Professionally architects do have the power – we must take a lead & be actively critical & analytical about the materials we choose for the design of our buildings. But innovation towards more circular material flow is already out there. We simply need to be bold enough to understand & test their potential & put them into the field of sustainable practice – the alternative & the affordable solution just lies beneath our feet – ‘the Earth’. This study is limited to the detailed understanding of building physics revolving around the Rammed Earth |RE| construction & CSEB |Compressed Stabilized Earth Block| used in the mainstream of sustainable building construction.

The Ethnoarchaeology of Restaurants in Southern Vietnam: Fish Stew Culinary Practices and Organic Residues in Earthenware Cooking Pots

ABSTRACT Ethnoarchaeological studies of food and culinary practices are typically conducted in communities and households that still practice traditional ways of food preparation and consumption. This article presents ethnoarchaeological research in small, contemporary restaurants in Vietnam that serve cá kho tộ, a braised caramelized fish stew prepared in earthenware cooking pots. Comparative reference samples of pottery were collected from the restaurants for organic residue analysis, and the results were compared with residue analysis of pottery sherds recovered from archaeological sites in Southern Vietnam. The results contribute novel insights to both ancient and present-day culinary practices in the region and to the study of open earthenware pots and pottery sherds with interior surface charred residues.

Politics of Knowledge in Conservation: (De)valued Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Bote in Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Political ecology studies have mostly explored the conflicts that arise between local communities and Indigenous peoples' (IPs') vulnerability to sustainable livelihoods based on nature and conservation regimes. Even in the context of the change in conservation tactics towards active community involvement and socioeconomic development, which has reinforced the fortress conservation strategy, traditional ways of life and the lived traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of IPs are under jeopardy. Nevertheless, the studies give little consideration to the way in which TEK is (de)valued for bolstering fortress conservation at the expense of IPs' livelihoods unsustainability. This study investigates the (de)valuation of TEK of Bote embedded in their traditional livelihoods through conservation management, based on a critical ethnographic investigation carried out in two villages of Bote IPs (in the Buffer Zone area) of Nawalparasi district of Chitwan National Park (CNP) –southern lowlands of Nepal. We argue that TEK is paralyzed by a conservation regime without acknowledging the symbiotic relationship between IPs and biodiversity. Therefore, in order to conserve biodiversity and support the mutual sustainability of biodiversity and local livelihoods, there needs to be active guardianship and stewardship of IPs.

Assess the Effectiveness of an Inquiry Based Learning Method in Microbiology for Undergraduate Medical Students

Two hours practical session in Microbiology for II MBBS students is most of the time monotonous, vague, teacher centric and not utilized time qualitatively by teaching faculty in conventional method. Inquiry-based learning is a form of active learning that starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply presenting established facts or portraying a smooth path to knowledge. To determine the student’s performance & effectiveness of inquiry-based learning method over traditional practical method by comparing once. To study students’ and faculty perceptions about inquiry based learning (IBL) method Prospective interventional analytical study was conducted for II MBBS students in department of Microbiology for four months. After Ethical committee approval and informed consent randomized selected 100 students of II MBBS divided into two batches; one for didactic practical and one for interactive new inquiry based teaching learning method. Four topics ( Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Corynebacterium and M. tuberculosis) selected with 15 days interval from regular departmental teaching schedule. Structured the inquiry based questions to cover entire topic, post test papers and feedback forms and validated prior to start the study. Two hrs practical sessions divided into four parts. First half an hour introduction of the topic as routine didactic method, next half an hour we distributed the questions among students and told them to read, discuss and collect the information from the books or any other sources. Next half an hour discussed the questions and last half an hour conducted short test of 20 marks. Average score in tests was considered for analysis. Mean score was calculated and unpaired t test was applied. P value less than 0.05 was considered statistical significance. Students’ and faculty perceptions about inquiry based learning (IBL) method determined by taking questionnaire based feedback using Likert scale at the end of all four sessions. Mean score for topic Staphylococcus taken in traditional way was 9.02 with SD of 2.3 and that taken by the interactive inquiry based learning method was 14.6 with SD of 2.8 and t value 11.1. Mean score for topic Streptococcus taken in traditional way was 8.94 with SD of 2.6 and that taken by the interactive inquiry based learning method was 14.6 with SD of 2.9 and t value 10.2. Mean score for topic Corynebacterium taken in traditional way was 9.48 with SD of 2.4 and that taken by the interactive inquiry based learning method was 14.0 with SD of 2.7 and t value 8.8. Mean score for topic M. tuberculosis taken in traditional way was 9.38 with SD of 2.7 and that taken by the interactive inquiry based learning method was 14.2 with SD of 3.0 and t value 8.4.

The competition of topological superconducting phases in magnetic atomic rings

A magnetic flux threading through magnetic atomic rings can induce topological superconductivity. It provides a novel approach to achieving low-dimensional topological superconductivity for the tradition ways require spin-orbit coupling or helical magnetic order. In this paper, we introduce a topological superconductor model by depositing a ferromagnetic atomic ring on the surface of a two-dimensional s-wave superconductor. When the moments of the magnetic atoms are perpendicular to the external magnetic field, a magnetic flux can induce topological superconductivity. Considering practical experiments, for the magnetic atomic chain breaks the inversion symmetry of the surface of the two-dimensional substrate, the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) thereby is introduced, leading to the appearance of helical magnetic order in the atomic chain. According to previous researches, this helical magnetic order ensures that the magnetic moments of the ring are perpendicular to the external magnetic field, and the patch angle of neighbor moments of the helical order is proportional to the strength of the SOC. However, the helical order or Rashba SOC may introduce topological superconductivity by them own. It is meaningful to investigate the influence of the effects of the Rashba SOC and helical magnetic order on the flux induced topological superconducting states. We find that the Rashba SOC has a disruptive effect on the existing topological state, while helical magnetic order merely shifts its transition position in the parameter space. Therefore, when selecting materials for experiment, it's advisable to choose those with a small strength of Rashba SOC.

Effectiveness of Flipped Learning and Teaching: Knowledge Retention and Students’ Perceptions

Aim/Purpose: This paper addresses the effectiveness of flipped learning and teaching as a didactic innovation in math instruction. We are interested in comparing traditional and flipped learning and teaching in terms of acquired knowledge and retention and students’ perceptions of flipped learning and teaching. Background: Traditional lessons, in which frontal instruction prevails, cannot sufficiently address all students, especially in more complex subjects where it is necessary to follow the didactic principle of learning differentiation and individualization. Flipped learning and teaching is a didactic innovation with a high potential for implementing the said didactic principle, as it can be adapted to the students’ needs to a greater extent. There is no single mode of implementation for flipped learning and teaching, which means that the effects depend largely on the specific learning activities, resulting in the fact that previous research does not report conclusive results. Thus, it is important to continue to examine this innovation to provide a better and more detailed understanding of it. Methodology: We present a study in which 13-year-old primary school students took part in a pedagogical experiment in mathematics instruction. In the control group (n = 26), lessons were taught in the traditional way, while in the experimental group (n = 26), lessons were taught according to the principle of flipped learning and teaching. After the experiment, the same posttest was administered to both groups to assess the students’ knowledge of the subject matter after the treatment. Another posttest was administered after three months to determine whether the knowledge acquired through flipped learning and teaching was permanent. All three tests consisted of 13 tasks, with the first 6 tasks relating to the perimeter of polygons and the second 6 tasks relating to the area of polygons. The last task focused on the perimeter and area of polygons. A short survey was also conducted to find out how the students in the experimental group perceived this didactic innovation in terms of motivation to learn, interest in the subject matter, level of knowledge acquired, and so forth. Contribution: Our research on flipped learning and teaching focusing on primary schools is significant as previous research on the topic has often been conducted on a sample of high school students and even more often on university students. Our particular contribution is the fact that we tested not only the students’ immediate knowledge after the intervention but also the retention of knowledge after a period of three months, which provides an additional perspective on the effectiveness of flipped learning and teaching. Findings: With this research, we have answered three research questions. First, we found that there are no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of acquired knowledge. Thus, we found that both the traditional approach and the flipped learning and teaching approach were equally successful in transferring knowledge to the students. In addition, we found that there were differences between the two groups in terms of retention of knowledge. The group taught with the flipped learning and teaching approach showed higher levels of knowledge retention than the group taught with the traditional approach. Finally, it was found that the students were quite satisfied with this approach and would like to see such innovations in the future. Recommendations for Practitioners: The results suggest better knowledge retention when using flipped teaching and learning, so based on our findings, we recommend teachers try this innovation in their classrooms. However, all innovation should be implemented with thorough consideration and gradually; thus, we believe that training courses on flipped learning and teaching should be organized for teachers to learn about this innovation, find out about its effectiveness, and reflect on how they can incorporate it into their own practice. Recommendation for Researchers: We recommend that research in the future focus more on primary school students, with particular attention to experimental design. We suggest that researchers focus on investigating the contribution of the different learning activities with the flipped instructional design to the overall effectiveness of the innovation. Impact on Society: The results of our research thus represent an important contribution to the field of pedagogy and general didactics at primary and lower secondary levels. Based on our findings on knowledge retention in the experimental group, we consider flipped learning and teaching to be an effective innovation that could contribute to a higher quality of teaching and, thus, to better student knowledge. Future Research: Future research would be important to determine which factor ensures a higher level of knowledge retention in a flipped learning and teaching approach than in a traditional learning and teaching approach. It would also be important to determine the effects of flipped learning and teaching in other subject matters in the mathematics classroom, in other age groups of students, and in other subjects in primary school.

A Protocol to Depict the Proteolytic Processes Using a Combination of Metal-Organic Materials (MOMs), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), and Mass Spectrometry (MS).

Proteolysis is a critical biochemical process yet a challenging field to study experimentally due to the self-degradation of a protease and the complex, dynamic degradation steps of a substrate. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the traditional way for proteolytic studies, yet it is challenging when time-resolved, step-by-step details of the degradation process are needed. We recently found a way to resolve the cleavage site, preference/selectivity of cleavage regions, and proteolytic kinetics by combining site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) of protein substrate, time-resolved two-dimensional (2D) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, protease immobilization via metal-organic materials (MOMs), and MS. The method has been demonstrated on a model substrate and protease, yet there is a lack of details on the practical operations to carry out our strategy. Thus, this protocol summarizes the key steps and considerations when carrying out the EPR/MS study on proteolytic processes, which can be generalized to study other protein/polypeptide substrates in proteolysis. Details for the experimental operation and cautions of each step are reported with figures illustrating the concepts. This protocol provides an effective approach to understanding the proteolytic process with the advantages of offering time-resolved, residue-level resolution of structural basis underlying the process. Such information is important for revealing the cleavage site and proteolytic mechanisms of unknown proteases. The advantage of EPR, probing the target substrate regardless of the complexities caused by the proteases and their self-degradation, offers a practically effective, rapid, and easy-to-operate approach to studying proteolysis. Key features • Combining protease immobilization, EPR, spin labeling, and MS experimental methods allows for the analysis of proteolysis process in real time. • Reveals cleavage site, kinetics of product generation, and preference of cleavage regions via time-resolved SDSL-EPR. • MS confirms EPR findings and helps depict the sequences and populations of the cleaved segments in real time. • The demonstrated method can be generalized to other proteins or polypeptide substrates upon proteolysis by other proteases.

Deep neural networks approach with transfer learning to detect fake accounts social media on Twitter

<span>The massive use of social media makes people take actions that have a negative impact on cyberspace, such as creating fake accounts that aim to commit crimes such as spam and fraud to spread false information. Fake accounts are difficult to detect in the traditional way because fake accounts always use photos, names, and unreal information, there are several criteria that can identify a fake account such as no information, few followers, and minimal activity. In the traditional model, it is difficult to detect fake accounts on many Twitters social media accounts, so the application of the deep learning model with the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm and the application of deep learning can help detect fake accounts. This study will use data on Twitter social media so that this research produces good accuracy for the scenarios described at the methodology stage. This research produces an accuracy of 86% for the deep learning model with the CNN algorithm, and with the traditional model, it produces an accuracy of 51% while the use of transfer learning produces an accuracy of 93.9%.</span>

Mitochondrial topoisomerase 1 targeted anticancer therapy using irinotecan encapsulated mesoporous MIL-101(Fe) synthesized via a vapour assisted method.

Mitochondrial topisomerase 1 (Top1mt) is critical for mtDNA replication, transcription, and energy production. Here, we investigate the carrier-mediated targeted delivery of the anticancer drug irinotecan into the mitochondria to selectively trap Top1mt covalent complexes (Top1mtcc) and its role in anticancer therapeutics. We have designed a biocompatible mesoporous metal-organic framework (MOF) material, namely MIL-101(Fe), as the drug delivery carrier that selectively localizes inside mitochondria. In contrast to the traditional way of synthesising MOFs, here we have employed a vapour-assisted solvothermal method for the synthesis of MIL-101(Fe) using terephthalic acid as the organic linker and Fe(III) as the metal source. The advantage of this method is that it recycles the excess solvent (DMF) and reduces the amount of washing solvent. We demonstrate that MIL-101(Fe)-encapsulated irinotecan (MIL-Iri) was selectively targeted towards the mitochondria to poison Top1mtcc in a dose-dependent manner and was achieved at a low nanomolar drug concentration. We provide evidence that Top1mtcc generated by MIL-Iri leads to mtDNA damage in human colon and breast cancer cells and plays a significant role in cellular toxicity. Altogether, this study provides evidence for a new and effective strategy in anticancer chemotherapy.

Virtual Reality Enables the Dissemination and Preservation of Early Works of Art

Abstract With the rapid development of digitalization and information technology, virtual reality (VR) technology has shown unique potential in disseminating and conserving early works of fine art, changing people’s traditional ways of appreciating and conserving fine art. The article examines the use of virtual reality technology in disseminating and preserving early works of art. The objective is to improve the accessibility and conservation efficiency of art works by using digitization methods.

Through empirical analysis, it has been found that the digital platform that relies on VR technology improves art works’ dissemination effect and protection efficiency. Virtual reality technology is effective at protecting and disseminating early works of fine art, promoting the public’s appreciation and understanding of art, and providing a new method for the digital transformation of fine art works.

Rescue system for people evacuation for highrise buildings

The article deals with the issues of ensuring fire safety of multifunctional high-rise buildings and structures. Measures are given to ensure fire safety of multifunctional high-rise buildings and structures. Effective modern methods of improving the safety of using constructive solutions that prevent the spread of fire and the evacuation of people from places covered in flames and smoke by combustion products and blocking access to stairwells are reflected. Since in some cases it is not possible to save people from a burning building in traditional ways, structural solutions are additionally presented that contribute to the safe evacuation of residents of the house. When reviewing existing designs, their shortcomings were identified. The authors proposed a new design of an effective, non-traumatic and safe device for saving people, especially those with low physical fitness and limited physical abilities. It allows you to simplify the design, provide the necessary speed, ensure the availability of evacuation of people with physical disabilities, avoid the presence of auxiliary equipment on a stationary ground object, ensure manufacturability in use, which does not allow, if necessary, to save people from windows and balconies, increase productivity in the “descent-ascent” mode.

РОЗВИТОК ЕКОТУРИЗМУ В УКРАЇНІ

The history of nature tourism goes back many centuries. The ancient Egyptians went on long journeys to expand their knowledge of the world around them. Great figures such as Herodotus, Aristotle and Pliny the Elder travelled to different countries, exploring not only cultural and historical monuments but also natural conditions. Over time, many years have been spent travelling to the most remote corners of the planet to conduct scientific research on landscapes, flora and fauna, and local cultures. Explorers such as Alexander Humboldt, Charles Darwin and others became pioneers in this area.In modern tourism, one of the most promising areas is the environment. Ecotourism, defined as travel and visits to natural areas, has a low impact on the natural environment, hence it is called "soft tourism". In addition, the development of ecotourism requires strict compliance with environmental legislation. When organising ecotourism, the local population not only works as service personnel, but also stays in the protected area, continuing their traditional way of life and preserving ecosystems. This generates additional income for local residents, contributes to the socio-economic development of the area and allows them to develop traditional forms of farming.Ecotourism also contributes to the development of related industries, such as souvenir production and regional infrastructure. An important component is an increase in investment activity due to the region's promotional development. This results in a new source of funding for nature reserves and national parks, which contributes to their preservation and expansion. This approach allows for the implementation of the concept of sustainable development and supports harmonious interaction with the natural environment. This article examines the current state and development of eco-tourism in Ukraine and the world, analysing the key stages of its history and environmental impact.

Impact of BIM implementation in engineering projects in Syria

Engineering projects are often exposed to problems during their design and implementation, due to the lack of availability and accuracy of sufficient information, the failure to set an accurate timetable and budget, and the lack of cooperation and coordination between team members. Therefore, a technology was found to help solve these problems, which is building information modeling. It is one of the most important developments in the field of engineering in general, and the second generation of model design tools is the result of decades of research and development. Through it, one or more virtual models were created to support the design process through all its stages, and it is a simulation of the reality of the real project. In our research, we will discuss the most important problems that engineers face when working on a project, the importance of applying this technology and the benefits it has on the project and its parties, a simplified explanation of it, its dimensions, the stages that the project goes through, and the most important problems that we face when applying it. Building quantities will be studied in the traditional way and compared with quantities calculated through building information modeling technology.
