Proposed scheme for an Egyptian M/SMES policy information system : part 1 - survey of M/SMES information system & portals in selected countries
No full textFiani & Partners / Kompass Egypt was contracted by the Canadian International Development Research Center (IDRC) to prepare a comprehensive report on the optimum SMEs policy information system for Egypt. The first part of this project focuses on surveying the existing statistical information on a sample of 7 countries as well as the existing M/SMEs portal on a sample pf 10 countries to use them as a case study to be compared to the current policy information system for M/SMEs in Egypt. In this first part of phase I, we have monitored up to seven countries who have developed M/SME information monitoring systems and more than ten countries who have developed M/SMEs portals in addition to a number of multicountry M/SMEs portals. Indeed, such approach is key to allow policy making to adopt the appropriate methods for Egypt in the light of successes and failures of other countries..
A Low-coast Mms Integrating GPS, Digital Compass and a camera to the Direct Georeferencing of Digital Images
No full textA low-cost, easily transportable Mobile Mapping System (MMS) was designed and built to obtain the direct georeferencing parameters of images; its components are a GPS receiver, a digital compass and a digital camera.
The main aim of the system is to directly define the orientation parameters of an image. The accuracy of the 3D coordinates of the points belonging to the object photographed is a consequence of the whole process which involves GPS positioning, compass angle determination, system calibration and any other useful auxiliary data that can be used to improve the accuracy of the system (GCPs coordinates, distance between the object and the camera, etc.). The tests carried out up until now have demonstrated the “theoretical”huge potential of the measuring system as well as its versatility. such as cars, helicopters and boats
BEAUTY VLOGGER FIANI ADILAA DAN PEMBENTUKAN NARASI KECANTIKAN
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the role of Fiani Adilaa, an Indonesian beauty vlogger, in shaping perceptions of beauty standards among Communication Studies students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with five students who actively follow Fiani Adilaa's content. The findings reveal that Fiani Adilaa's content not only delivers beauty tutorials and product reviews but also constructs an inclusive narrative of beauty through the promotion of self-love and self-acceptance. These messages influence audiences to perceive beauty as personal and authentic, reducing societal pressure to conform to narrow beauty standards. However, the study also identifies the dual influence of social media, which simultaneously reinforces idealized beauty standards while creating space for more realistic perspectives. This research highlights the potential of beauty vloggers as agents of change in broadening societal views on beauty, particularly in the context of digital mass communication. These findings provide a foundation for further studies on the influence of social media in shaping societal constructs of beauty standards
LANDSLIDE MONITORING USING TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNER: GEOREFERENCING AND CANOPY FILTERING ISSUES IN A CASE STUDY
Full text linkIn order to define a methodology that faces the major critical issues, we used a Terrestrial Laser Scanner to monitor a large landslide
that caused significant disruptions both to an important state road and to a major railway line in Italy. To survey the landslide we
used three different models of Terrestrial Laser Scanners, including a "full wave form" one, potentially useful for filtering vegetation
from the data. The output of each measurement campaign is a Digital Surface Model referred to a unique reference system. Starting
from the DSMs we produced the Digital Terrain Models, one for each survey. The use of different models of TLS together with the
software packages recommended by the companies for data processing, allowed us to compare the surveys and to evaluate the
reliability and the accuracy of results. The comparison of data has been useful in order to identify and analyse over time the areas of
greatest deformation and the directions of landslide movement and it also gives us some elements about the validity of the technique
in this kind of applications. The laser surveys have shown a strong dynamic of the slope but have also highlighted some difficulties
in order to efficiently filtering the data. Using two different kinds of TLS, full wave form and mono eco, on the same portion of
landslide allows us to make comparisons between the two methodologies for landslide monitoring in a real-world context
Monitoring of large landslides by Terrestrial Laser Scanning techniques: field data collection and processing
Full text linkWe have monitored a large landslide that causes extensive damage by using Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Our surveys haveconfirmed that the slope undergoes a continuous change. When using TLS some operational difficulties arise. We have used different TLSs types to better evaluate the reliability of
our surveys; a full wave TLS has allowed to make easier the data filtering. All surveys have been framed in the same absolute reference system; this has been done by connecting both targets and laser stations to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Permanent Reference Stations network. A direct comparison among the DEMs allows to infer the movements of the landslide
