Safety distance awareness system for Malaysian Driver
It is known that the risk of an accident increases exponentially with the speed of the
vehicle and most collisions happen when the driver fails to brake at the required time
and distance. The objective of this research is to create a Safety Distance Awareness
System which aims at warning the driver of the potential frontal collision and to alter
Malaysian driver attitudes. This system is to manipulate Malaysian driver attitude
that likes to tailgating and to prevent rear-end collision in Malaysia. This is done by
using a Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR) range finder to determine the
distance of the vehicle or obstacle in front of the host vehicle. With the help of
microcontroller, the distance of the host vehicle could be determined and a warning
will be issued in the form of both visual and hearing so driver could take the correct
preventive measure. There will be few stages of warning, the system will intensify
the distress warning until the collision occurs. These SDAs do not take any automatic
prevention or control to the vehicle to avoid collision. In overall the research hopes
to achieve a more convenient driving experience and a safer driving environment by
implementing the SDAS to keep drivers aware of the potential hazards ahead of their
vehicle. Hopefully the Malaysian government will involve in this research, since the
implementation of Safety Distance Awareness System can provide a new alternative
in the safety system hence it can reduce accidents in Malaysia
Voluntary organizations and nonformal adult education in Hungary: Professionalization and the discourse of deficiency.
This paper explores issues of professionalization and the discourse of deficiency in Hungarian voluntary organizations and nonformal adult education. The argument is made that transformational adult education, e.g., Freire and Mezirow would be useful to dispel the myth of individual deficiencies
Why Adult Educators Should be Concerned with Civil Society
The concept of civil society has gained currency over the past twenty-five years. This paper provides a local, national and global perspective of civil society, identifies the types of organizational forms found within it, and explores the role of adult educators and adult education in shaping it
LijeÄenje COVID-19: pravo vrijeme za program upravljanja antimikrobnom terapijom
Last several months, the World is witnessing Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the newly identified Coronavirus. Due to the fast and easy disease spread as well as its severity, currently this pandemic is dominating every aspect of the global healthcare systems but also it outstandingly influences every side of our lives including the global economy. Almost all COVID-19 treatment guidelines advocate the rational use of antibiotics, but if we analyse the reports published so far, it is evident that about 70% up to even 100% of patients are treated with antibiotics. This antibiotic misuse highlights the urgent need for launching the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program in order to monitor the appropriate use of antibiotics. In this article, the authors suggest the postulates for implementing the antibiotic stewardship in COVID-19 patients.Posljednjih nekoliko mjeseci svijet je svjedok pandemije COVID-19 izazvane novootkrivenim koronavirusom. Zbog brzog i lakog Å”irenja bolesti, kao i njezine ozbiljnosti, trenutno ova pandemija dominira svim aspektima globalnih zdravstvenih sustava, ali takoÄer iznimno utjeÄe na sve aspekte naÅ”eg života, ukljuÄujuÄi globalno gospodarstvo. Gotovo sve smjernice lijeÄenja COVID-19 zagovaraju racionalnu uporabu antibiotika, ali ako analiziramo do sada objavljena izvjeÅ”Äa, oÄito je da se oko 70% pa Äak i do 100% bolesnika lijeÄi antibioticima. Ova zlouporaba antibiotika naglaÅ”ava hitnu potrebu za pokretanjem programa upravljanja antimikrobnim lijekovima radi praÄenja odgovarajuÄe uporabe antibiotika. U ovom Älanku autori predlažu postulate za primjenu programa upravljanja antibioticima u bolesnika s COVID-19
