Web-based Product Data Visualization and Feedback between PLM and MES
No full textConsumers are demanding high-quality personalized products. To support personalization of high quality products, companies try to establish Information Technology (IT) systems. Typical IT systems are Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) used in the design department and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) used in the production department. Problems arise during the production of such highly personalized products using only information from 2D drawings. It is also inefficient that information about malfunctions and defects during production is sent back to the design department through manual operations. To resolve these problems, a method of exchanging the 3D shape with malfunction and defect information between PLM and MES is proposed. 3D shapes have been exchanged using open source and web-based PLM, MES, and CAD systems. The result shows that interoperability between PLM and MES is possible with visualization support

Exchange of parametric assembly models based on neutral assembly constraints
No full textIt is difficult to exchange parametric assembly models using conventional neutral formats such as the standard for the exchange of product model data or the initial graphics exchange specification. These formats only support the boundary representation information that leads to the inability to perform parametric re-evaluation, once a model is exchanged. In order to exchange parametric information along with the design intent, a design history-based macro-parametric approach was proposed. Our method is macro-parametrics approach, however, supported only the exchange of individual part models. As most of the products are manufactured in assemblies, where several components are connected with multiple constraints, it is necessary to exchange the assembly model data. To overcome the issue of post-exchange editability, a collection of neutral assembly commands was introduced to extend the capabilities of the macro-parametric approach. A set of neutral assembly constraints was defined and a system for exchanging the parametric assembly models was implemented. An assembly model consisting of coaxial and incidence constraints was successfully exchanged between two commercial computer-aided design systems: CATIA and NX. It was possible to re-evaluate the assembly model parametrically after the exchange. The method can be further extended to exchange the remaining constraint types in different commercial computer-aided design systems.

Abstract
There has been a strong consensus among previous researchers that first language interferes with second language acquisition. A limited number of studies have been conducted to examine this interference in writing Chinese. Chinese writing exercises for primary school students of the Yi ethnic group in rural areas tend to encourage students to incorporate their native language habits into Chinese writing practices. This enables students to apply modern Chinese word order to the Yi language paradigm. Consequently, they are prone to grammatical errors, word order errors, and collocation errors in their compositions. This study focuses on elementary school students' writing abilities in order to alleviate their fears associated with Chinese writing. It also assists them in grasping the second language writing paradigm, and enjoying writing. In addition, by analyzing the composition errors of the students in the corpus, we propose some practical recommendations from three perspectives: educators, students, and institutions. These recommendations will enhance language and writing education within ethnic communities through theoretical and practical strategies.

Abstract
This paper studies the effect of Mandarin proficiency on poverty reduction and its mechanism. The China General Social Survey (CGSS) is taken as the data source. From the perspective of social integration, the poverty reduction effect of Putonghua and its mechanism are empirically studied from the perspective of social interaction, social fairness, and social trust. The findings showed that improving the ability to listen and speak Mandarin positively affects social interaction, social trust, and social fairness. It showed that Putonghua proficiency positively correlates with the suppression of economic poverty. After the occurrence of poverty, whether a sample of absolute poverty or relative poverty, the ability to listen and speak in Mandarin has a specific inhibitory effect on social interaction, social trust, and social fairness. After the occurrence of poverty, the frequency of social interaction, social trust, and social public since have been reduced to a certain extent. Specifically, the ability to express Mandarin has shown remarkable results in improving social interaction, and the ability to listen among ordinary people has shown remarkable results in enhancing social fairness. The results of this paper provide empirical evidence of poverty alleviation in China via Improving Mandarin Proficiency. This research is also of great significance for optimizing poverty alleviation paths through language in the post-poverty alleviation era.

Circumstances leading to intimate partner violence against women married as children: a qualitative study in Urban Slums of Lahore, Pakistan
Get PDFNasrullah M, Zakar R, Zakria Zakar M, Abbas S, Safdar R. Circumstances leading to intimate partner violence against women married as children: a qualitative study in Urban Slums of Lahore, Pakistan. BMC International Health and Human Rights. 2015;15(1): 23.Background: Child marriage (<18 years) is prevalent in Pakistan which is associated with negative health outcomes including intimate partner violence (IPV). Our aim is to describe the types and circumstances of IPV against women who were married as children in urban slums of Lahore, Pakistan. Methods: Women of reproductive age (15-49 years) who were married prior to 18 years, for at least 5 years were recruited from most populous slum areas of Lahore, Pakistan. Themes for the interview guide were developed using published literature and everyday observations of the researchers. Interviews were conducted by trained interviewers in Urdu language and were translated into English. The interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed, analyzed and categorized into themes. Results: All 19 participants were married between 11 and 17 years. Most respondents were uneducated, poor and were working as housemaids. Majority of participants experienced verbal abuse, and threatened, attempted and completed physical violence by their husbands. A sizeable number of women reported unwanted sexual encounters by their husbands. Family affairs particularly issues with in-laws, poor house management, lack of proper care of children, bringing insufficient dowry, financial problems, an act against the will of husband, and inability to give birth to a male child were some of the reasons narrated by the participants which led to IPV against women. Conclusions: Women married as children are vulnerable to IPV. Concerted efforts are needed from all sectors of society including academia, public health experts, policy makers and civil society to end the child marriage practice in Pakistan

Towards green recovery: can banks achieve financial sustainability through income diversification in ASEAN countries?
No full textSial, Dr. Muhammad Safdar/0000-0002-5473-8882; Abbas, Jawad/0000-0001-5416-1887; Alvarez-Otero- Ph D, Dr. Susana/0000-0001-8603-5690Establishing sustainable and balanced development for green financing is critical for improving financial sustainability and banks' capability. Banks struggle to achieve economic sustainability in the current highly competitive business environment. This research examines the impact of income diversification on financial sustainability proxy by return on assets (ROA) by applying the quantile regression technique to the data from banks of ASEAN countries over the period 2008-2019. In addition, liquidity risk, bank size, interest and non-interest incomes, and market capitalization are studied as control variables. The empirical findings indicate that income diversification positively impacts return on assets at all countries' lower, middle, and upper quantiles, even though sizes can differ across countries and quantiles. Moreover, market capitalization, non-interest income, and banks' size favorably impact banks' performance. In contrast, liquidity risk and interest incomes are negatively linked to the performance of banks for all countries at each quantile. These results have significant strategic implications for managers, regulators, and policymakers who share a common interest in boosting financial sustainability and performance and significantly shaping green recovery.
