    It is necessary to prepare for the increasing crime rate of household theft with a modern home security system that allows customers to monitor home security remotely. This can be accomplished by replacing the standard lock with a solenoid door lock, which is more difficult to duplicate and reduces the likelihood of theft when the house is unoccupied. The Authors developed a three-tiered home security system prototype that includes fingerprint, the RFID, and keypad biometric sensors. The device's finished prototype was tested ten times after it was designed. The Arduino Uno microcontroller, which also serves as the door-locking mechanism, turns on the door-lock solenoid. When authentication is successful, someone will be granted access to the door. The preliminary findings indicate that the fingerprint. The fingerprint sensor's ability to read fingerprints in 3.7 seconds on average demonstrates its effectiveness. Second, the RFID sensor detects the e-KTP, and the RFID scans the card in an average of 2.4 seconds. The third keypad contains the password for unlocking the door. After ten repetitions, the experiment input yields an average time of 3.66 seconds. Opening a door with a 3-level multi-sensor typically takes 9.8 seconds. In this study, the installation of each sensor is notified via a GSM SIM800L module, allowing customers to monitor security remotely

    Background: The introduction of screening in the UK and other high‐income countries led to a significant decrease in the incidence of cervical cancer and increase in survival rates. Minority ethnic groups are often underrepresented in screening participation for reasons that are poorly understood. Objective: To explore experiences of cervical screening participation and non‐participation of women from minority ethnic populations in Scotland and gain insights to support the development of interventions that could potentially support screening participation and thereby reduce inequalities. Design: Qualitative comparison group study using in‐depth, semi‐structured individual interviews that were thematically analysed. Setting and participants: This study took place in Scotland. Fifty women were purposively sampled from four ethnic minority groups: South Asian; East European; Chinese; and Black African or Caribbean. White Scottish women were also interviewed. Results: Many experiences described were common regardless of ethnicity, such as difficulties managing competing priorities, including work and care responsibilities. However, important differences existed across the groups. These included going abroad for more frequent screening, delayed introduction to screening and not accessing primary care services, language difficulties in health‐care settings despite proficiency in English and not being sexually active at screening commencement. Experiences of racism, ignorance and feeling shamed were also reported. Conclusions: Key differences exist in the experience of minority ethnic groups in Scotland. These offer potential opportunities to reduce disparity and support screening participation including maximizing co‐incidental interactions and developing outreach work

    Jayabakti Village, Cidahu District, Sukabumi Regency often experiences waterlogging and even floods when the rain intensity is high. One of the reasons is the reduced water catchment area due to the accumulation of garbage. In general, the knowledge of the people of Jayabakti Village regarding waste management is still minimal. Therefore, this service activity was carried out to provide knowledge, skills, and awareness for the community regarding the application of biopore infiltration holes. The purpose of the program for making biopore holes include increasing water absorption into the soil to reduce flooding, improving the quality of the soil around where biopores are installed, and utilizing organic waste as compost. The water channel repair activities along with the making of biopore holes at several points of puddles have been carried out well and have achieved the expected goals, such as increasing the water absorption into the soil and soil quality to prevent flooding. However, in carrying out subsequent biopore activities, it is necessary to pay attention to the location of the appropriate placement of the holes so that the benefits can be more optimal. In addition, the role of the community is needed in increasing the production and maintenance of biopore so that its use can be sustainable.Desa Jayabakti, Kecamatan Cidahu, Kabupaten Sukabumi sering mengalami genangan air bahkan banjir saat intensitas hujan tinggi. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah berkurangnya daerah resapan air akibat penumpukan sampah. Secara umum, pengetahuan masyarakat Desa Jayabakti mengenai pengelolaan sampah juga masih minim. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pengabdian dilakukan untuk memberi pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan kesadaran bagi masyarakat mengenai penerapan lubang resapan biopori. Tujuan dari program pembuatan lubang biopori diantaranya meningkatkan serapan air ke dalam tanah guna mengurangi terjadinya banjir, meningkatkan kualitas tanah di sekitar tempat terpasangnya biopori, dan memanfaatkan sampah organik sebagai kompos. Kegiatan perbaikan saluran air beserta pembuatan lubang biopori di beberapa titik genangan air sudah terlaksana dengan baik dan telah mencapai tujuan yang diharapkan yaitu serapan air ke dalam tanah dan kualitas tanah yang semakin  meningkat sehingga dapat mencegah banjir. Namun dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan biopori selanjutnya, perlu diperhatikan lokasi penempatan lubang yang sesuai sehingga manfaatnya dapat lebih optimal. Selain itu diperlukan peran masyarakat dalam memperbanyak pembuatan dan perawatan biopori agar penggunaannya dapat berkelanjutan

    Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

    Get PDF
    Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

    Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis

    Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

    Get PDF
    One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

    Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

    Get PDF
    Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass
