Digital micro-entrepreneurship in the online rental market
Batteries are crucial in switching towards renewables, especially solar and wind. Efficient and reliable energy storage technologies motivate people to relinquish traditional generators that use fossil fuels, coal etc. which are non-eco-friendly and cause so many greenhouse gas emissions. Efficient batteries like Li-ion batteries (LIBs) also suffer from memory effects, thermal instability at a higher temperature, and ageing due to over-charging and undercharging conditions. It is also impossible to operate all cells in the same module with the same charging and discharging rate. Also, monitoring the temperature of all the cells is crucial to work within the rated range to avoid the possibility of thermal runaway. Battery Management System (BMS) technology, along with the data acquisition system, is like a doctor that continuously monitors the state of charge (SoC), state of health (SOH), state of function (SOF), etc. of every cell by measuring quantities like current, voltage, temperature, impedance, etc. of the cells in real-time for performing charge balancing, thermal management, and protection against over-charging and under-charging by implementing efficient algorithms to perform state estimation with the highest accuracy which contains very minimum noise or errors. Conventional passive charge balancing is easy and inexpensive but inefficient. This paper discusses some advanced SOC estimation algorithms for BMS like Data-driven (Support Vector Machine) SVM Kernel, (Radial Basis Function) RBF Neural Network, Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), Deep Neural Network (DNN), modal-based (recursive Bayesian estimation) filtering algorithms like Kalman filter (KF), Unscented Kalman filter (UKF), Extended Kalman filter (EKF), Particle filter (PF), etc., Sliding Mode Observer (SMO), Fuzzy logic, and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to monitor performance and implement the control strategy to obtain efficient and reliable battery performance with enhanced cycle life.

Performance assessment and statistical analysis of Waste Glass powder
incorporated concrete mixes
Globally, we produce over 200 million tons of glass waste annually. The construction industry has huge potential to reuse this glass waste, reducing solid waste and greenhouse emissions. Glass bottles can be used by collecting and crushing into concrete as sand. Incorporating a waste material in the concrete matrix leads to a change in the overall behaviour of the material and, as such, needs thorough analysis before actually being put into use. The present study is focused on the performance assessment of the concrete mixes prepared using waste glass powder as a partial replacement of sand to contribute toward sustainable material generation. This paper attempts to incorporate multiple statistical tools to attain fruitful deductions on the inter-dependencies of the significant constituents of the different concrete mixes considered as the strength of concrete depends on several variables. These variables are water-cement ratio, type and grade of its ingredients, supplementary cementitious material and mixing and curing time. Statistical methods simplify complex data sets and helps in interpretation. Thirty mixes were prepared using different water-cement ratios and waste glass replacement levels to study the compressive strength of the resulting concrete. Based on the results from the different replacement concrete mixes, the significance of using glass waste in concrete for improving the concrete overall performance has been presented in this study.

Generic Skill Framework in Requirement Analysis of Software Engineering
Requirement analysis in analysis phase is one of the most critical phase in software engineering. Human skills is crucial in order to implement effective requirement analysis procedures in today’s dynamic and rapid changes of business environments. Unfortunately, soft skills components are not included as mandatory elements in the existing framework of software engineering phases. In this thesis, the soft skills components known as generic skills were identified, captured, described and measured and acceptable generic skill score were embedded in the new proposed framework. Method to capture the soft skill components were derived from knowledge management perspective in which it is known as tacit knowledge. The convergence of knowledge management approaches and requirement analysis framework in software engineering are the basis of this research. In order to validate and measure the effectiveness of the proposed framework, IT graduates in from Malaysian universities and their software development employers were participated in the research. Data collection was verified by quantitative and descriptive analysis using SPSS. Based on the analysis and findings, it shows that there is an increased in tacit knowledge score or generic skill value between 36% to 58%. Hopefully the new framework can plays its role for the betterment of software engineering field and reduces cases of software failures due to ill-managed software project requirements in today’s challenging world of globalization.

Change and Complexity Institutionalism: The perspective of Institutional logics in the
Child-rearing field
The objectives of this research are to investigate and analyze the sets of institutional logic in the child-rearing field in Thailand and to contribute the theoretical framework as ideal types of institutional logic in the child-rearing field. This was a qualitative study, with data gathered through in-depth interviews. The target group consists of 18 families with Thai children in the Cha-am District, Phetchaburi Province. The ATLAS.ti program was used to analyze the frequency, percentage, and relationships between codes versus code groups and documents versus document groups through the interpretation of the data and define the codes according to the institutional logic perspective. The results found that each institutional logic consisted of a series of thoughts, beliefs, and practices. Children’s families mixed among four logics in rearing children, namely, professional logic, market logic, community logic, and family logic. The reason for this combination is because institutional logic is complex through decision making and acting through historical dynamics. Selection and combination as well as adaptation of both consistent and conflicting sets of information have been done to enter the action on an individual level and reflect the set of social practices at present.

Development of Water Quality System in Residential Area
Water problems in the residential area happened quite often a few years back until now but remain unsettled, especially regarding low water pressure. The water provider purely needs a significant water monitoring and alert system to overcome this issue. Over the past years, Selangor Water Management Sdn Bhd has received 8,302 water theft complaints that lead to low water pressure and issued 997 request notices. The newspaper also reported that residents of Taman Sri Endah, Sri Petaling are frustrated over low water pressure in their neighborhood affecting about 40 houses. The case study was made to detect the water problem by collecting data on the water flow rate and water existence at the home water meter. This work used liquid sensors such as water flow and presence sensors, NodeMCU Esp8266, GPS module, IoT platform, and Thingspeak. A Gmail notification email was modified to alert the water provider if the system detects any problem regarding the water parameter measured. A google maps was interfaced with the GPS module to locate the affected system’s node. Thingspeak was used as an online monitoring interface to illustrate graphs for water parameters and save the data in cloud storage. In this work, the system communicates well between hardware and software where it detects and uploads the data smoothly from NodeMCU to Thingspeak. The data has been illustrated well with the support of cloud storage to store data of the readings. The system can alert the water provider when it detects a problem with a Gmail notification complete with the location of the affected. This work is more focused on monitoring water quality and awareness of problems in providing water to customers is carried out.

A Systematic Review Paper on Need of Smart Home Architecture For Old People
There are a plethora of clever services and technologies designed to make daily life easier for seniors and lower their stress levels. People over the age of 65 are often pessimistic about technological advancements because of the natural deterioration in their cognitive, motor, and sensory capacities that comes with becoming older. Based on these findings, it is clear that older adults are looking for innovative housing solutions that can meet their physical and mental needs. Future research of smart settings for this population should include fun, happiness, play, and user involvement as significant aspects of technology utilisation. This study overarching goal is to contribute to the architectural community by offering a comprehensive examination of how intelligent home environments may encourage healthy ageing and provide a pleasant user experience. An evaluation technique was devised that splits the delightful smart environment into four categories: well-ness, independence, acceptability, and design. A survey of architectural journals revealed that most studies on the smart home ignore the psychological well-being of its occupants in favour of more tangible benefits like convenience, physical sensation recording, and energy efficiency modelling. For the purpose of attracting and keeping the attention of elders and providing them with rewarding possibilities, it is crucial that smart surroundings be created with their needs in mind. When designing a smart environment with seniors in mind, it is important to take into account their unique cognitive and emotional characteristics as technology advances and becomes more pervasive in everyday life.

Acoustic Quality in Open Plan Office Space of Commercial Areas in Context of Dhaka
Open office spaces(OPO) are becoming a beneficial trend in the commercial sectors due to its flexibility, interactive environment and resource sharing. Even though OPO provides much flexibility of space usage it also means that there is almost no speech privacy and also speech intelligibility might become a concern when multiple work activities are taking place in the same area without any partitions. Whereas, if acoustic solutions are considered regarding speech privacy, speech intelligibility and masking of unwanted sounds, statistics have shown to improve cognitive performance in OPO through an active background masking sound (DeLoach, 2015). In this research paper the author aims to identify current acoustic quality situation through background study on related parameters and site survey based on these parameters. Personal interviews, questionnaire survey along with physical measurements were conducted in an OPO for a general overview of the situation. Through survey and desktop research it is seen that occupants are mostly affected by unwanted sound level in the background. Even though proper design inclusions via Soundscape Approach in the initial phase of designing can reduce these problems related to acoustic quality in OPO, as well as add bonus effects such as physiological and psychological improvement through use of desired level of background sound level, it is still neglected due to lack of awareness and negligence. Even if not included in the design phase, simple design modifications using Soundscape Approach might change the scenario altogether in the blooming sector of OPO in the commercial sector.

Numerical Investigation of Interceptor Influenced On The Step Planing Hull
Yoengdo-gu, South KoreaAbstract— Several studies show that step modification support to high acceleration of the planing hull but created excessive drag dan extremely trim at hump region. To make better performance of step hull is to engage integrated with interceptor. Interceptors are situated at the transom stern of planing hull to control the trim angle and minimize wave-induced motions. This research focuses on the impact of the influence caused by step hull with interceptor on the pressure distribution and influenced to drag, heave and trim of the planing hull. The environment was modelled in the two-degree of freedom condition to simulate trim and heave measurement. This research has been analyzed with Finite Volume Method (FVM) based on RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) equation using overset mesh. The turbulent K- ε and VOF (Volume of Fluid) models are used to model the water and air phases. Grid convergence study has been used to estimate the uncertainties caused by grid- spacing and time-step. The numerical approach was verified with the experimental test of Park et al to ensure the accuracy of the CFD in the bare hull condition. The result of drag, trim and heave were calculated and it has been proved that the added interceptor into step hull are very useful in drag reduction and trim control.

Contemplative Architecture And Human Experience : An Exploration
It has become crucial to live in serene and soothing environments if you want to be healthy and tranquil. Contemplation areas can also guide the architecture to higher spiritual planes. It is possible to characterize the present era as turbulent, uncertain, and changeable. Technical breakthroughs and a desire for sustainability go hand in hand with rapid urbanization and excessive intensification. Traditional architecture frequently had a specific function in mind when it was designed, and future users, uses, or environmental changes were rarely considered. At present, however, it is asserted that the need for construction tractability is critical because to difficulties with affordability, resource depletion, fluctuating demographics, and climate alteration. It is understood that architecture of the twenty-first century needs to be correspondingly flexible and adaptable for a number of reasons, the most crucial of which being the user mental and spiritual well-being. Our architecture should be made to be disassembled, reconstructed, and reused in order to create contemplative spaces rather than deconstructing buildings to fill landfills. There are several ways that architecture can create these places. Extensive literature reviews in the areas of architecture and spirituality led to the current study. The goal of this study is to examine how living in a healthy environment might be influenced by its physical surrounds and built environment. By offering a place where people are free to ponder or deliberate and feel the existent moment, different environments can be built that help the user feel more connected to them.

A Study on Employability readiness of students of Architecture
Everything in life is impacted by globalisation. It may be found in architecture as well. It is an ongoing trend that undoubtedly picked up speed recently. Architecture which is considered as a field that necessitates the integration of diverse knowledge, including the arts, sciences, environmental awareness, and technology is getting increasingly diversified and demanding. In India, the issue of architecture students employment has taken on significant importance. Given the greater market expectations and different employment functions, architects require a wide range of talents, from technical competence to soft skills. To satisfy these rising workplace demands, architectural companies and practitioners today hire fresh graduate architects who are suitably prepared with essential employability skills. Employers expect graduates to have the necessary skills and competences to be able to make a major contribution at work, even while academic accomplishment is highly desired but insufficient to guarantee better employment. As a result, the Architecture education institutions are working hard to make their students acquire employable skills; advance their knowledge for better job opportunities. Employers throughout the world are seeking graduates with solid skill sets, or employability skills, to fulfil industry expectations. By making graduates job ready, dynamic, and sensitive, the development of these employability skills increases graduates chances of success.

Urban Heat Island Minimisation Through Parametric Modelling
To grasp the factors that lead to the creation of UHI and identify the appropriate mitigation measures, a variety of methodologies, including simulation and observational methods, have been put forward. The causes of UHI, however, fluctuate depending on the climate or architectural elements of the city. Urban heat island (UHI) detection methods are rapidly evolving on a global scale, and their findings can be trusted regardless of how well they capture the true impact of the phenomena. Significant effects of urban heat island (UHI) on building energy use and outdoor air quality (OAQ). A number of solutions and regulations have been suggested and adapted to localities to address this unwelcome phenomenon. Different models are created to forecast the UHI as well as evaluate the efficacy of such approaches. As a result, general conclusions cannot be drawn from a little amount of monitoring data. Recent advancements in computational tools have allowed for the use of simulation methods to research UHI. These methods, however, are also unable to account for every phenomenon that occurs at the same time as it contributes to the development of UHI. Aim of this paper to understand better the term Urban heat island (UHI), its causes, types and factors which make it more severe and what are the various possible ways to mitigate it. The primary goal of the paper is to create a parametric model to examine how the Urban Heat Island (UHI) impact responds to shifting land use and geometric properties using the Local Climatic Zone (LCZ) classification system. With the help of Grasshopper, Envi met, and a generic optimization method, a parametric model is created to match the related geometrical and land cover properties, and it is then utilized to determine the forms that produce the maximum and minimum UHI values. A protocol model approach is proposed as a consequence of the research, allowing the input of numerous factors and producing real-time adaptive results, significantly cutting the time of the optimizing process for UHI minimization. Thus, real-time analysis enables urban designers and planners to investigate various morphology.

Early Assessment on Application of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal-Biofertilizer on
Germinated Seedling of Oil Palm Tree in the Presence of Ganoderma Boinense Inoculum
The infections of G. boninense in the presence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) were investigated through the quantifications of ergosterol level. In this research, AMF identification and spore count on rhizosphere soil were performed before the planting of germinated palm oil. Three major species of spore identified with Glomus spp covered around 70.29% of total spore. While, the isolation of ganoderma on Ganoderma Selective Media (GSM) indicates the successful artificial infection by rubber wood block (RWB) throughout the study period of 8, 12, 16 and 20 wpi. In the meantime, the assessment on mycorrhizal colonization’s conducted on 16 to 20 wpi indicates the susceptibility of AMF no colonizing roots with and without G. boninense treatment which were found to increase on primary and secondary roots from 53.3% to 70.0% and 81.6 % to 83.81% respectively but decreased on AMG+ G. boninense treatment. Overall, ergosterol levels were found to increase along the week of inoculations on G. boninense treatment and not detected on AMF treated seedlings. However, at 12 wpi onwards, ergosterol levels were detected to increase on AMF+ G. boninense treatment indicating the active growth of G. boninense on palm oil seedlings and thus suggesting ergosterol as a possible indicator quantifying G. boninense infections on applied AMF seedlings in palm oils.
