Full textAbstract:
Green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) is defined as organizations’ entrepreneurial efforts to integrate ecologically sustainable practices and values to undertake sustainable decisions and actions to improve their environmental performance. Though recent research has shown how important GEO is for attaining sustainability in a company setting, there is a limited understanding on the factors that determine GEO and how and when it affects a firm’s performance. Additionally, it draws attention to unexplored areas of the mediating and moderating factors that affect the connections between GEO and its outcomes. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) of the GEO to synthesize empirical findings about how it is investigated in the literature during the period 2014–2024. The PRISMA method is used in this study to evaluate relevant GEO research, and SLR matrix utilized for analyzing the GEO literature in peer-reviewed English publications. A comprehensive evaluation of theoretical, methodological, and empirical issues pertaining to conceptual approaches, antecedents, dynamics, and results of GEO was conducted on 59 studies. This study contributes several findings to the entrepreneurship literature. These research findings give implications for both theory and practice. Within a theoretical framework, this study provides a comprehensive viewpoint on GEO research and creates novel insights for further research, enhancing the extant theories in the GEO literature. In practice, this study facilitates the perceptions of eco-conscious entrepreneurs, managers and experts, and other stakeholders of the organizations regarding developing an appropriate GEO by understanding the antecedents and outcomes of it for successful organizations and the ways to use and improve them probably.

Full textAbstract:
Developing an effective attendance management system has always been a difficult issue for any company, ranging from schools to universities. Smartphones have been used for attendance with technologies such as face recognition, fingerprint-based attendance, and other types. The attendance management system (AMS) and its problems are discussed in this study. The study presents a student attendance system for schools and colleges combining Geo Fencing using the geofencing API from Google Play services and Google location services dependencies along with Firebase and Geofire dependencies and Face Recognition functionality. This is performed by acquiring live location of students and a geo-fence of the class area, the system also performs a face recognition for pre-registered student and attendance is automatically taken when a student has spent over 90% of the time within the set geo-fence (Classroom). This system was developed using Android Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which is being used for the development of native android applications. A questionnaire was however designed and results gotten to further explain how well the functionalities work. The responses derived were subjected to statistical examination using SPSS. Discoveries showed that attendance system was able to improve identification, verification and accuracy of student attendance.

Full textAbstract:
Faustin Linyekula stages what I shall call “geo-choreography” in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). What is choreography if not an embodied practice that demands a continual reordering of space? Geo-choreography reorders the urban landscape choreographically without colonizing it. Instead, it establishes a network of architectural sites within that landscape whose effect I shall endeavor to describe in this essay. In 1993 Congolese choreographer Linyekula went into exile for eight years, during which time he attended university in Kenya and studied theater in London, only to be pressured by the British government to return to Kenya, where he was introduced to dance theater. In 2001 Linyekula returned to the DRC, where he founded his contemporary dance company, Studios Kabako, in Kinshasa, the country's capital. Working out of both Kinshasa and Paris, Linyekula established an international career as an experimental dance maker. After five years (in 2006) he transferred his company from Kinshasa to his hometown, Kisangani. Located in the northeastern DRC, this haunted urban terrain has been devastated by political violence, including that of the Second Congo War (1998–2003) and its aftermath. In trying to rediscover a sense of belonging for himself and for others, Linyekula is presently designing a network of studios for emerging artists throughout Kisangani. Linyekula's dance company and network of studios taken together, and housed under the same name of Studios Kabako, encourage a fluid movement between the social and the artistic.

In Battle Creek, Michigan, William Keith Kellogg (1860–1951) founded Toasted Corn Flakes in 1906, which was later renamed the Kellogg Company and became the WK Kellogg Foundation in 1930. The brand of the American multinational company, which specializes in breakfast foods, is known worldwide, has influenced the eating habits of millions of people for more than a century, and has an annual turnover of several billion dollars. Not everyone knows its history. This article retraces some phases of his story and reconnects them to a specific phase of Adventism. This begins thanks to the intuition of Ellen Gould White and continues by internalizing the value of time and intertwining it with a global way of life, which includes the relationship with food. This union anticipates the contemporary trend and allows us to deepen the relationships between body, mind, and spirit, physical and spiritual nourishment. Furthermore, this episode expose show Adventism, a modern Christian denomination, has offered a specific and important contribution to the most common lifestyle.

Full textAbstract:
This paper studies the role of private sector companies in the development of local amenities. We use evidence from one of the largest multinationals of the 20th century: the United Fruit Company (UFCo). The firm was given a large land concession in Costa Rica—one of the so‐called “Banana Republics”—from 1899 to 1984. Using administrative census data with census‐block geo‐references from 1973 to 2011, we implement a geographic regression discontinuity design that exploits a land assignment that is orthogonal to our outcomes of interest. We find that the firm had a positive and persistent effect on living standards. Company documents explain that a key concern at the time was to attract and maintain a sizable workforce, which induced the firm to invest heavily in local amenities—like the development of education and health infrastructure—that can account for our result. Consistent with this mechanism, we show, empirically and through a proposed model, that the firm's investment efforts increase with worker mobility.

The main difficulty of describing natural emergency as a random process is the large number of parameters that must be quantified. Authors suggest threating the onset of emergency as a discrete random variable; each possible implementation corresponds to the defined size of the expected damage to transportation infrastructure. The analysis of the engineering and environmental surveys via geo-information technologies identified expected probability of occurrence and scale of the annual damage for 10 types of emergency situations on long-term (up to 2030) for State Company Russian Highways road network.

Purpose. The paper aims to classify the rock mass of the Ighrem Aousser (I/A) mine and analyze its fracturing to determine the appropriate excavation supports. Methods. The study begins with a geo-mechanical classification of the mass using widely used methods: Rock Quality Designation (RQD), Rock Mass Rating (RMR), Q-Barton, and Geological Strength Index (GSI). Fracturing surveys were then conducted to identify the main fracture families using DIPS software. Finally, UNWEDGE software was used to measure the support systems. Findings. The study provides a comprehensive geological study, including field observations, core drilling analysis, and structural analysis with DIPS software. Results indicate that the I/A mine rock mass is highly fractured and altered, as confirmed by mechanical tests at the Mohammadia School of Engineers' laboratory and empirical classifications. Based on these findings, appropriate support systems were identified using UNWEDGE software. Originality. This study provides a detailed classification and structural analysis of the I/A rock mass to propose and measure excavation supports. Integrated approach not only advances understanding of rock mass behavior, but also ensures optimized safety, stability, and productivity of mining operations, setting a new standard in sustainable mining development. Practical implications. In the mining industry, classifying rock masses and designing excavation supports enhances safety, increases site productivity by reducing contamination and lowering mining costs.

It is said that “Graduation marks the end of one era and the beginning of a new one.” Lemire, S. (2023). As for Graduates of the People’s Republic of China, the new means a future employment struggle. As this is one of the most discussed topics in Asia, this comprehensive research study investigates the trials and tribulations involved in the pursuit of work for graduating students in one of the most competitive job markets in the world. Unearthed within this body of work, the team of researchers discovered that a bachelor’s degree is not sufficient even to obtain a first position. Many company recruiters in 2023 now seek postgraduate students instead, due to the intense competition of the recently graduated pool of alumni to apply for first-tier office-oriented positions. In addition to this burdensome or arduous outlook, to find gainful employment. i.e., These graduates have requested higher salaries in the major cities to be proportional to the rising standard of living costs, as recruiters usually offer a standardized lower wage for newcomers at job fairs. Therefore, the psychological effects and ramifications for the new generation in China, have both been delineated and discussed in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Iron absorption from gastrointestinal tract was enhanced in a subset of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) exhibiting ineffective erythropoiesis. Duodenal iron absorption was achieved via an iron transporter divalent metal transporter (DMT)-1 and ferroportin which was downregulated by hepatic hepcidin. Recently, three erythroid regulators such as growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), twisted gastrulation protein homolog 1 (TWSG1) and erythroferrone (ERFE) which down regulated hepatic hepcidin production has been identified. However, it has been not yet clarified which molecules could contribute to the increased iron absorption in patients with MDS. Materials and Methods. In the present study, we examined the expression level of GDF15, TWSG1 and ERFE mRNA during ex vivo erythroid differentiation from sodium butyrate (SB)-treated K562 and CD34+ bone marrow (BM) cells in the presence of 4 U/mL erythropoietin (EPO), 100 U/mL interleukin-3, 10 ng/mL stem cell factor, 20 ng/mL insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and 500 micro g/mL iron-saturated transferrin. We further analyzed the expression level of GDF15 and ERFE by using a GEO dataset (GSE58831). GEO dataset was downloaded as a matrix by GEOquery package (Bioconductor). The numerical data of the matrix were normalized by quantile normalization using limma package. Clinical and sequencing data were downloaded from supplementary materials. Those were combined with a GEO dataset (GSE58831) before analysis. Results. The levels of ERFE and GDF15 mRNA were dramatically increased during erythroid differentiation from SB-treated K562 and normal CD34+ cells in response to EPO in vitro. Using GEO data sets (GSE58831), the levels of ERFE and GDF15 mRNA in CD34+ cells derived from MDS patients were significantly elevated as compared with that from healthy volunteers. Importantly, the levels of ERFE and GDF15 mRNA in CD34+ cells in a subset of MDS with ring sideroblasts (RS) or SF3B1 mutation were significantly and highly elevated as compared with other subsets of MDS (GSE58831). Additionally, the supernatant derived from SB-treated K562 reduced hepcidin level in HepG2 in the presence of EPO. Conclusion. These results suggested that productions of ERFE and GDF15 in CD34+ MDS cells with RS or SF3B1 mutation may be associated with abnormal iron metabolism via hepcidin reduction. These findings may be useful to understanding the high ferritin level in a subset of MDS patients.

This research discusses the development of an online employee attendance system in the context of the company. Attendance data includes employee attendance, arrival and return information, as well as absence status such as sickness or clearance. Traditionally, some organizations still use physical methods to collect attendance data, which is considered less efficient and effective. The research uses classical waterfall development method to facilitate the process of system development up to release. With face recognition and geo location methods, an online attendance system is proposed with IT infrastructure using private hosting and virtual machines with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 Operating System as a web server. With the implementation of this system, it is expected that benefits will be realized in the ease for employees to conduct attendance and management capabilities in managing employee attendance data in a structured manner.

A company granted a floating charge over all its assets. The floating charge is a universal hypothec, introduced from English law in 1961. It covers both moveables and immoveables. A floating charge is not a real right at first, but becomes one when it crystallises. According to s. 462(1) of the Companies Act 1985 it is competent under the law of Scotland for an incorporated company to grant such a floating charge "over all or any part of the property … which may from time to time be comprised in its property and undertaking". After granting the floating charge, the company contracted to sell a flat to the defendants. This was followed by delivery of the deed of conveyance (the disposition). A final stage before transfer of real rights in the property is complete is registration of the conveyance. The floating charge crystallised, however, before this formality was completed. The question for the courts was therefore whether the floating charge attached to the flat on crystallisation. At first instance and on appeal the Scots courts determined that the transfer of the real rights in the property to the Thomsons had not been perfected and that therefore the flat fell within the scope of the floating charge when it crystallised. In the House of Lords, however, a different solution was retained. The "beneficial interest" in the property was found to have been transferred to the purchasers on disposition. The reference to property which may be comprised in a company's "property and undertaking" in s. 462(1) of the Companies Act was interpreted as meaning property in which the company had a beneficial interest. The floating charge did not, therefore, attach to the flat. By invoking the idea that there is scope for some intermediate legal category between personal and real rights, involving the transfer of the beneficial interest in property, the decision has traumatised a certain section of the Scottish legal community - ever resistant to invasions from over the border. Although Lord Clyde stressed that "the approach taken by the appellants in this case does not seek to innovate upon the established principles of Scottish land law or conveyancing", the distinction drawn between legal and beneficial ownership mirrors the English law concepts constantly used in the law of property to distinguish between legal and equitable rights - a distinction not used in Scots law.

Understanding social behaviour in livestock groups requires accurate geo-spatial localisation data over time which is difficult to obtain in the field. Automated on-animal devices may provide a solution. This study introduced an Real-Time-Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK-GNSS) localisation device (RTK rover) based on an RTK module manufactured by the company u-blox (Thalwil, Switzerland) that was assembled in a box and harnessed to sheep backs. Testing with 7 sheep across 4 days confirmed RTK rover tracking of sheep movement continuously with accuracy of approximately 20 cm. Individual sheep geo-spatial data were used to observe the sheep that first moved during a grazing period (movement leaders) in the one-hectare test paddock as well as construct social networks. Analysis of the optimum location update rate, with a threshold distance of 20 cm or 30 cm, showed that location sampling at a rate of 1 sample per second for 1 min followed by no samples for 4 min or 9 min, detected social networks as accurately as continuous location measurements at 1 sample every 5 s. The RTK rover acquired precise data on social networks in one sheep flock in an outdoor field environment with sampling strategies identified to extend battery life.

Full textAbstract:
The concept “Beyond GDP: The Italian methodology using BES” defines a complementary indicator of GDP which is able to point out a better and more complete economic measurement. This indicator is applicable at a national level, and also at a primary level of geographic area, defined as a homogeneous pedo-geo-climatic and cultural zone. Since richness and well-being for a nation are the result of a cumulative effect of all units which operate in a certain territory, from single citizen to families, from enterprises to social communities, our assumption is that BES should be a measurement effective not only at a national, regional and territory level, but even at the level of corporate organizations, and ultimately, of a specific company.

Full textAbstract:
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Individual travel trajectories denote a series of places people visit along the time. These places (e.g., home, workspace, and park) reflect people’s corresponding activities (e.g., dwelling, work, and entertainment), which are discussed as semantic knowledge and could be implicit under raw data (Yan et al. 2013, Cai et al. 2016). Traditional survey data directly describe people’ activities at certain places, while costing tremendous labors and resources (Huang and Wong 2016). GPS data such as taxi logs record exact origin-destination pairs as well as people’s stay time along the way, from which semantics can be easily inferred combining with geographical context data (Yan et al. 2013). Research has been done to understand the activity sequences indicated by either individual or collective spatiotemporal (ST) travel trajectories using those dense data. Different models are proposed for trajectory mining and activity inference, including location categorization, frequent region detection, and so on (Njoo et al. 2015). A typical method for matching a location or region with a known activity type is to detect stay points and stay intervals of trajectories and to find geographical context of these stay occurrences (Furtado et al. 2013, Njoo et al. 2015, Beber et al. 2016, Beber et al. 2017).</p><p>However, limited progress has been made to mine semantics of trajectory data collected from social media platforms. Specifically, detection of stay points and their intervals could be inaccurate using online trajectories because of data sparsity. Huang et al. (2014) define the notion of activity zone to detect activity types from digital footprints. In this method, individual travel trajectories first are aggregated using spatial clustering method such as density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN). Then produced clusters are classified based on a regional land use map and Google Places application programming interface (API). Such land use data are only published at specific places, such as the state cartography office’s website at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Researchers need to search for those data based on their study area. Moreover, while major land use maps can be searched for large areas such as the whole United States, detailed land use data for statewide or citywide areas are made in diverse standards, which adds extra work to classify activity zones consistently. Besides, Google Places API is a service that Google opened for developers and will return information about a place, given the place location (e.g., address or GPS coordinates), in the search request. However, API keys need to be generated before we can use these interfaces and each user can only make a limited number of free-charged requests every day (i.e., 1,000 requests per 24 hours period). In sum, previous methods to detect activity zone types using social media data are not sufficient and can hardly achieve effective data fusion. Comparing to the high cost of using officially published dataset, emerging Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) data offer an alternative to infer the types of an individual’s activities performed in each zone (i.e., cluster).</p><p>Using geo-tagged tweets as an example, this research proposes a framework for mining social media data, detecting individual semantic travel trajectories, and individual representative daily travel trajectory paths by fusing with VGI data, specifically OpenStreetMap (OSM) datasets. First, inactive users and abnormal users (e.g., users representing a company with account being shared by many employees) are removed through data pre-processing (Step 1 in Figure 1). Next, a multi-scale spatial clustering method is developed to aggregate online trajectories captured through geo-tagged tweets of a group of users into collective spatial hot-spots (i.e., activity zones; Step 2). By integrating multiple OSM datasets the activity type (e.g., dwelling, service, transportation and work) of each collective zone then can be identified (Step 3). Each geo-tagged tweet of an individual, represented as a ST point, is then attached with a collective activity zone that either includes or overlaps a buffer zone of the ST point. Herein, the buffer zone is generated by using the point as the centroid and a predefined threshold as the radius. Given an individual’s ST points with semantics (i.e., activity type information) derived from the attached collective activity zone, a semantic activity clustering method is then developed to detect daily representative activity clusters of the individual (Step 4). Finally, individual representative daily semantic travel trajectory paths (i.e., semantic travel trajectory, defined as chronological travel activity sequences) are constructed between every two subsequent activity clusters (Step 5). Experiments with the historic geo-tagged tweets collected within Madison, Wisconsin reveal that: 1) The proposed method can detect most significant activity zones with accurate zone types identified (Figure 2); and 2) The semantic activity clustering method based on the derived activity zones can aggregate individual travel trajectories into activity clusters more efficiently comparing to DBSCAN and varying DBSCAN (VDBSCAN).</p>

In this study, the geometric accuracy of four different maps for three sectors of Duhok city was assessed. The maps were produced in different periods and different techniques. One set of maps was paper plotted maps, which had to be geo-referenced. The other three maps were digitally plotted with reference to the global coordinate system UTM/WGS-84/Zone 38 N projection. A total of 51 points were identified on one reference map, which is the master plan of Duhok city prepared by the general directorate of urban planning/Kurdistan region/Iraq with the collaboration of the German company Ingenieurburo Vossing Company. The reference map, which is the master plan of Duhok governorate, is an official map that is certified and checked by the ministry of planning of the Kurdistan region to have a positional accuracy of ±1.5 cm. These points were searched for and identified on the other three maps. Discrepancies in Easting and Northings of these points were calculated, which resulted in the mean discrepancy of 2.29 m with a maximum value of 8.5 m in one event. The maximum standard deviation in dE and dN was 3.8 m. These values are reasonably accepted, considering that the maps were prepared using different techniques and a variable accuracy standard.

Logistics in Russia has been actively developing lately. One of key trends in this process implies building a net structure by logistic companies as a foundation for efficient and competitive delivery chains. The article studied development of a net structure of delivery chains and specific features of new reality of net functioning, where their transformation shall take place. It was found out that strategic goals, which are targeted at by logistic company plans are based on rational net configuration. Availability of rationally projected logistic chains both inside the country and abroad became unquestionable competitive advantage that allowed companies to move goods to the final consumer. Globalization of economy in certain countries and the development of international trade in the last decade provided logistic companies with wide opportunities for profitable territorial location of delivery chain links. However, the desired success of logistic companies in attaining goals of functioning faced today’s transport and logistics reality caused by pressure of numerous factors connected with sanctions against Russia, which led to the necessity to transform net configuration. In view of this the authors discussed in more detail the mechanism of some factors, which can result in distortion of product flows and arising of new ones, including in international delivery chains.

Abstract Radon activity concentration was measured in 101 springs and well water samples collected from Muzaffarabad city and its outskirts. Sixty springs and 41 well water samples were analyzed, using RAD7, an electronic radon detector manufactured by Durridge Company Inc., for the estimation of radon borne activities and their relevant effects. Results obtained show that for spring water, the water borne radon activity varied from 0.246 ± 0.348 to 34.36 ± 5.54 Bq L−1 with an average value of 10.16 ± 2.42 Bq L−1. For well water, the water borne radon activity varied from 0.86 ± 0.10 to 16.12 ± 0.22 Bq L−1 with an average value of 4.21 ± 0.13 Bq L−1. Concentration of radon borne activities were subsequently used for determination of inhalation and ingestion doses. The inhalation and ingestion doses for spring water samples varied from 0.0062 ± 0.0087 to 0.865 ± 0.14 mSv y−1 and 0.052± 0.073 to 7.22 ± 1.16 mSv y−1, respectively. The inhalation and ingestion doses for well water varied from 0.022 ± 0.0025 to 0.41 ± 0.0054 mSv y−1 and 0.18± 0.021 to 3.38 ± 0.045 mSv y−1, respectively. 33.33% of spring and 7.32% of well water samples were found with values above the recommendation levels of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (∼11.1 Bq L−1). As a single measurement cannot serve as a best estimate of the unsampled areas in the region, Kriging interpolation method, a geo-statistical method, was used to get an estimate of spatial distribution of water borne radon in the area of study. Kriging mapping shows that higher radon concentrations are found in areas with lithology consisting of sandstones, siltstones, shales and claystones.

This paper describes an enhanced concept for determining the right time and place for maintenance works (in this case rehabilitation and renewal), within the scope of a risk-based maintenance strategy for trunk mains, including a technical and economic risk assessment. The risks considered include damage caused by pipe failure (main burst) like revenue loss, third party property damage as well as damage to intangible assets (loss of company reputation). The innovative part of this concept is the intelligent combination of a remaining-service-life prognosis for pipelines with structural load factor verification, technical condition assessments, geo-referenced analyses and detailed costing. This approach allows a very detailed risk assessment of several thousand pipe sections (high spatial resolution approach). The outcome based on this concept are the required maintenance items (what and where) and a catalogue of maintenance actions (how and when) including maintenance type and costs.

Citizenside, a French participatory news photo agency, is analysed here to measure the changing production of news. How do traditional circuits respond to new flows of news provided by ‘amateurs’? Is the latter term still valid? The concept of citizen news content is examined: its image largely depends on established media, which may feel threatened in the digital era. Citizenside, as a news agency, conducts its operations with established media. This model is of interest because of the technical tools employed to ensure the checking of photos and videos (reliable profiles, metadata, geo-location, web tracking of photos) and because of its ‘community management’, which strengthens the performance of contributors. Until 2013, Agence France-Presse held a 34 per cent stake in the company, which was acquired by Matilda Media subsidiary Newzulu.com . Citizenside exemplifies the move from user-generated content (UGC) to user-certified content (UCC).

The European geoparks are new and effective instruments for the interpretation, protection and promotion of geological heritage aiming to a sustainable local development. Since 2000 the two Greek geoparks, the Lesvos Petrified Forest and the Psiloritis Natural Park have developed a great number of activities. Because of their differences, these two geoparks can be used as good examples to evaluate contribution of geoparks to local economy. In Psiloritis geopark operation is supported by the AKOMM –Psiloritis SA Development Company and significant funds have been raised for geo-protection and geo-tourism through European projects, a certain operational budget from local funds has been established and a new action plan has been developed under the forthcoming Leader+ project. In Lesvos Petrified Forest geopark operation is supported by the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest which is responsible for research activities, protection and promotion of this protected natural monument. Main activities were funded by the North Aegean Regional Operational Framework as well as by INTERREG and LEADER initiatives to promote geoconservation, geotourism and local development. Furthermore, in both areas exchange of know how and best practices assisted local stakeholders and staff of local authorities to develop skills on the nature protection and promotion of geoheritage. Additionally, a great number of publications, environmental education programs and promotional activities contributed to the information and education of local communities, as well as of visitors on their geological and natural heritage. All the above mentioned activities have significant impact in local economy through the development of geotourism.

The paper presents the experience of applying modern information technologies while operating the urban pipeline systems. Consideration is given to the main problems interfering with ensuring the efficient modes of pipeline systems operation that are caused by uncertainty and inconsistency of information on the actual condition of the system that, in turn, are originated by different technological factors. The paper also pays attention to the lack of continuity, inconsistency and duplication of data in different software packages (accounting, billing, resources planning and management, geo-information systems, SAPR, SCADA, digital models of pipeline systems, etc.) used by companies, which complicates operation of pipeline systems. The paper discusses advantages of development and introduction of unified information space in a company, related problems of its updating, and methods of remote access to it. Causes originating this problem are analyzed and ways for its solution are searched for from the standpoint of the latest information technologies. For solving this problem the authors propose specialized software that implies active use of wireless communication channels, mobile devices, etc. This mobile information package is briefly described as a prototype intended for remote access to unified information space of a company and to a digital model of the pipeline system in particular using mobile communication devices. Considered are the advantages of this development and scenarios of its application.

‘The Irish are out in force’: it was a rainy summer day on the fields of the Somme, and they were very young, in their early teens, in fact. However, this was not 1916, but 2016, when the centenary of one of the bloodiest battles in history attracted an international crowd, including large contingents of school children from the Republic. In contrast to the 50th anniversary, which, in 1966, had been a ‘Unionist’ commemoration – claimed by the Northern Irish loyalists as their own, while the survivors of the Southern veterans kept their heads down and suppressed this part of their past – in 2016, the conflict was widely construed as an inclusive experience, which saw men and women giving their lives ‘for Ireland’ even when fighting ‘for King and Empire’. A generation ago this would have shocked traditional nationalists, who regarded the Great War as an ‘English’ one, in contrast to the Easter Rising and the subsequent War of Independence. However, European integration and the Peace Process gradually brought about a different mindset. Among historians, it was the late Keith Jeffery who spearheaded the revision of our perception of Ireland's standing in the war. This reassessment was further developed in 2008, with John Horne's editingOur war, a volume jointly published by RTÉ (the Irish broadcasting company) and the Royal Irish Academy, in which ten of the leading historians of the period – including Keith Jeffery, Paul Bew, David Fitzpatrick, and Catriona Pennell – presented Ireland as a protagonist, rather than merely a victim of British imperialism. By 2016, this new understanding had largely reshaped both government and public perceptions, with ‘the emergence of a more tolerant and flexible sense of Irish identity’. This has been confirmed by the largely consensual nature of the war centenary commemorations. While Dublin took the initiative, Northern Ireland's Sinn Féin leaders were ready to follow suit with the then deputy first minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness, visiting the battlefield of the Western Front to honour the memory of the Irish dead, and the Speaker of the Belfast Assembly, Mitchel McLaughlin, and his party colleague, Elisha McCallion, the mayor of Derry and Strabane, laying wreaths at the local war memorials.

Abstract: Data sharing and access area unit capabilities businesses and organizations need the foremost currently. Remote operating and mobile access to resources and collaboration platforms created it easier to access knowledge and resources from anyplace, anytime. Employees need to access documents and email from completely different devices, and from varied locations at a time. Access from untrusted networks is usually a threat to businesses. This may lead to knowledge loss and overexposure of essential knowledge. To mitigate the deficiencies of logical security mechanisms, and coinciding with the trend of cyber-physical systems, security mechanisms are planned that integrate with the physical surroundings. to make sure that business’s knowledge and resources area unit safe. In this project we tend to propose AN innovative Virtual Fence that uses a location knowledge and geospatial intelligence. Geospatial knowledge analysis enhances understanding, insight, decision-making, and prediction. Location intelligence (LI) is achieved via image and analysis of geospatial knowledge. Then we tend to improve the safety of information access in knowledge Server for an organization or the other specific locations exploitation the location-based cryptosystem. Virtual Fence provides a way to secure sensitive data among a company. It are often set to Off, On, Restricted read or browse solely. Once a geo-fenced boundary is outlined, the opportunities what businesses will do is proscribed by solely their creativeness. The most advantage of fitting such a geo fence is in avoiding knowledge discharge. Once outlined the trusty network locations, nobody will access knowledge from a unique network location/device. The experiment shows that our theme is possible in sensible applications.

In the environment, heavy metal contamination tends to be ecologically important considering its toxicity and pollution of the soil. It constitutes some levels of risks and hazards to humans and the ecosystem. This study assessed the heavy metal contamination, pollution indices and associated health risk of soil around an asphalt production company. A total of 13 soil samples were obtained around asphalt plant. The heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), cobalt (Co) and zinc (Zn) were analyzed. Also determined were the contamination factor (CF), cancer risk (CR), degree of contamination (DC), ecological risk index (ERI), Geo-accumulation index (Igeo), hazard index (HI), lifetime cancer risk (LCR), Nemerow integrated pollution index (NIPI), pollution load index (PLI), pollution index (PI) and target hazard quotient (THQ), and they were used in estimating pollution and health risk. The ranges of Cd, Pb, Co, Fe and Zn in the samples were: 0.006-0.11, 0.09-0.34, 0.06-0.22, 0.09-184.41 and 0.39-3.15 mg/kg respectively. The Igeo, CF, ERI, PLI, DC, NIPI and PI values of the metals were within uncontaminated level. The metals THQ and HI values were lesser than the projected limit for both adults and children. The soils’ Co, Cd and Pb did not exceed tolerable CR and LCR value of 1.0×10-4. It could be suggested that the Asphalt production company activities is not contaminating the soil around them.
