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

Liječenje 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 širenja bolesti, kao i njezine ozbiljnosti, trenutno ova pandemija dominira svim aspektima globalnih zdravstvenih sustava, ali također iznimno utječe na sve aspekte našeg života, uključujući globalno gospodarstvo. Gotovo sve smjernice liječenja COVID-19 zagovaraju racionalnu uporabu antibiotika, ali ako analiziramo do sada objavljena izvješća, očito je da se oko 70% pa čak i do 100% bolesnika liječi antibioticima. Ova zlouporaba antibiotika naglašava hitnu potrebu za pokretanjem programa upravljanja antimikrobnim lijekovima radi praćenja odgovarajuće uporabe antibiotika. U ovom članku autori predlažu postulate za primjenu programa upravljanja antibioticima u bolesnika s COVID-19
