Traffic violations are one of the causes of traffic accidents. Currently, traffic violation detection still uses conventional methods, involving the police to take action. Preliminary research on traffic violation detection by several researchers mostly uses the Yolo Method. The study aims to design a traffic violation detection system for two-wheeled vehicles using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this research, the CNN method was used with the Faster RCNN architecture. Faster R-CNN is composed of convolution layers, Relu, and pooling layers which are used to extract features from images. An image in the size of 3264 x 1836 pixels, with the type of marking violation and helmet use was used as a sample. The number of images used was 660 images with 600 images for training and 60 images for testing. The system will detect traffic violations on two-wheeled vehicles, namely helmet use violations and road marking violations. This traffic violation detection system for two-wheeled vehicles produces the highest accuracy, namely 85% with a maxpooling kernel size value of 1x1, stride 1 and a learning rate of 0.003. This research has the potential to be applied to areas that are less accessible to the police, because the system will record and analyze violations.","PeriodicalId":515899,"journal":{"name":"TEM Journal","volume":"18 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140424926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this paper is modeling respectively quantifying the effect of the death of business entities in Slovakia in 2019 and 2020 from selected factors using logistic regression. We decided to find out which of the selected factors (legal form of the enterprise; size group according to the average registered number of employees; region; economic activity performed by the enterprise) most influenced the death of enterprises in the period before and during the pandemic, which will allow us to determine the most and the least threatened categories of enterprises. The analysis was based on the business demography database, while the processing itself was carried out using the statistical tool SAS Enterprise Guide 7.1. The results of the analysis during the COVID-19 pandemic showed a significant impact of the factor legal form of the enterprise - mainly in the group of enterprises owned by natural persons, then a statistically significant impact of the factor size group of enterprise with an average registered number of employees 0-1 and finally a significant impact of the factor economic activity of the enterprise, mainly in the field of services. The smallest but statistically significant effect was manifested in the region factor, while the region in the east of Slovakia can be considered the most threatened from the point of view of the demise of enterprises. An interesting fact is that the influence of individual categories of factors on the closure of a enterprises in the case of micro-enterprises with one employee is very similar to the situation throughout Slovakia.","PeriodicalId":515899,"journal":{"name":"TEM Journal","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140426109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study utilizes a sensitivity option with a techno-economic analysis (TEA) simulation model to evaluate business options influencing successful 5G non-standalone (NSA) deployment in these markets, using Indonesia’s Bandung City as a case study. The analysis finds that Bandung requires 172 5G gNodeBs to meet traffic demand. Further, the 5G NSA deployment delivers strong key performance indicators (KPIs), with good signal synchronization received power (SS-RSRP) and signal-to-interference noise ratio (SS-SINR). Sensitivity analysis identifies the gNodeB amount as the most critical parameter impacting overall 5G NSA deployment feasibility. Overall, the analysis indicates mobile operators can recover investments after 3 years and 10 months, providing evidence for the viability of 5G NSA deployment in Bandung’s urban area.","PeriodicalId":515899,"journal":{"name":"TEM Journal","volume":"288 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140427835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problematic situation that causes this research is related to low yields per hectare, in small and medium-sized cocoa farms in the department of Huila – Colombia. A chemical quality index is proposed, which facilitates the analysis of the health behavior of the cultivated soil and nutrition of the cocoa plants, as a result of its interrelation with the physical and biological aspects. The proposed methodology is based on principal components analysis, to obtain weights and variable standardization equations, which evaluate 248 soil samples. The data indicate that in the cocoa producing land lots there are high pH values, cation exchange capacity and base saturation, but low levels of organic matter. It is concluded that in general the soils used showed moderate or low quality (52.42% and 11.29%, respectively), the rest showed high quality (36.29%). A soil intervention can improve its quality, however, the characteristic of the crop and the low levels of organic matter, requires recovering the properties and improving the health of the soil, if possible, through the implementation of regenerative agriculture, the object of future studies and research.","PeriodicalId":515899,"journal":{"name":"TEM Journal","volume":"16 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140425219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data shows that poor bone quality promotes thoracic spine degenerative disc swelling and physiological anomalies. Implants in the form of pedicle screws, rods, and connectors are one of the measures for scoliosis correction. When the pedicle screws are taken out after some use poor bone quality remains. In this study, fixation strength analysis will be carried out through tensile testing of bone joints and pedicle screws with variations in bone quality. Two specimen materials were used for approach analysis: polylactic acid (PLA) and bovine backbone. Pedicle screws are classified into three types: cylindrical, conical with a single thread, and double cylindrical screws. Tensile testing revealed that PLA specimens with pedicle screw variants provided the maximum force of 7.4 N and 8.31 N with double screw cylindrical implants at PLA 70:30 and PLA 40:60. A comparison of PLA specimens with a series of cylindrical screws to double-screw cylindrical screws yielded a displacement increase of 79.6%, whereas conical screws yielded a displacement increase of 222.3%. Fixation with double-screw cylindrical screws greatly increases tensile strength.
