Survey Paper About Carbon Footprint

The aim of this proof of concept is to develop a framework to trace the carbon footprints emitted by fossil fuels during power generation. The framework will utilize a life cycle assessment approach to identify the amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with each stage of the power generation process, from raw material (fuel) extraction to power delivery. The proof of concept will focus on the use of coal and natural gas, which are the most widely used fossil fuels in power generation.The data collected from sources is used to create model which can help us to estimate the amount of carbon footprint generated from different types of power plants like coal-fired power plants and natural gas-fired power plants.The results of this proof of concept are analyzed to identify areas where we can reduce the greenhouse gas emission  and also to develop and deploy strategies to transition to cleaner sustainable energy sources.Overall, this concept will provide a valuable tool for energy policymakers and stakeholders to make informed decisions about reducing carbon footprints from fossil fuel power generation

Multi-Criteria Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Computer Crime Disclosure Under Ecuadorian Legal Regulations

Decision-making based on multiple criteria is common in various contexts, recognized for its high complexity in seeking viable solutions. Computer crimes encompass any act with criminal intent that seeks to cause harm or put at risk a legally protected interest using computer tools. This study aims to determine whether residents of Santo Domingo are aware of computer crimes established in Ecuadorian legislation, employing multicriteria evaluation techniques and the TODIM and PROMETHEE methods. These methodologies are complemented by neutrosophic single-value sets, based on neutrosophic logic, to effectively manage the indeterminate and inconsistent information typical in real-world scenarios. In this way, the utility of these techniques for addressing complex problems in daily life and in various social domains is demonstrated.

Application of Real-Time Behavior Tracking Algorithm Combined with Yolov8 in Student Behavior Detection

In the intelligent teaching environment, it is indirect and difficult for teachers to capture learners’ learning attitudes and behaviors through digital learning behavior data provided by intelligent platforms. The purpose of this paper is to improve the precision of student behavior detection in teaching, and to provide teachers with a more reliable basis for making teaching plans. The Yolov8 algorithm is applied to student behavior recognition, and a bounding box loss function based on dynamic focusing mechanism is introduced to make a balance between samples with good regression quality and poor regression quality. Through experimental analysis, we can see that the real-time behavior tracking algorithm combined with Yolov8 proposed in this paper has a good application effect in student behavior detection. Moreover, it not only improves the precision of student behavior recognition, but also improves the stability of the algorithm, which is conducive to the effective development of subsequent smart teaching models.
