http://ijaems.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us January This study examines the experiences of individuals within the Philippine Criminal Justice System (CJS), focusing on the Law Enforcement, Prosecution, Court, and Correctional Pillars, as well as challenges in reintegration. Participants reported mixed experiences with law enforcement, from humane treatment to dissatisfaction over unclear arrest procedures and alleged coercion. In the prosecution stage, accessibility and quality of legal representation varied, with some expressing appreciation for dedicated defense counsel, while others faced frustrations over prolonged periods without representation, contributing to disillusionment with the judicial process. The Court Pillar highlighted the issue of “justice delayed, justice denied,” as lengthy adjudication processes eroded trust in the judiciary. Within the Correctional Pillar, participants found conditions in the Capiz Rehabilitation Center to be more positive than anticipated, emphasizing the disciplined and respectful environment, strict anti-discrimination policies, and opportunities for personal growth through Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) training and business ventures. However, overcrowding remained a significant concern. Reintegration into the community posed complex challenges, particularly for marginalized groups like the LGBTQ community, as societal stigma, limited employment opportunities, and the lasting impact of criminal records created systemic barriers to rebuilding their lives. Familial acceptance varied, further complicating transitions back into society. The study underscores the urgent need for reforms in arrest protocols, judicial efficiency, and correctional facility management. Additionally, fostering inclusive reintegration programs is crucial to addressing societal stigmas and supporting the successful transition of former Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) into their communities. http://ijaems.com/detail/exploring-the-personal-experiences-of-gay-men-in-the-five-pillars-of-the-philippine-criminal-justice-system-basis-for-sustainable-extension-program/ Jason B.

Energy limitations provide a significant problem for the wireless nodes in these networks that are in charge of sensing. The complexity results from the challenging task of recharging or replacing the batteries of these nodes, a task frequently met with great difficulty. The energy problem is made worse by the fact that many real-world IoT situations involve dynamic sensing components that are in motion. In light of these worries, the current research is carefully designed to solve the real-world difficulties posed by WSNs that include mobile sensing components. The main goal is to use concept of radio-frequency (RF) energy extraction to alleviate energy restrictions that are inherent in such settings. With a framework designed to handle mobile sensing components capable of RF energy harvesting, proposed technique presents a novel procedure for the election of cluster heads (CH) within WSNs. This method holds great potential for overcoming the persistent energy puzzles that have repeatedly hampered the smooth operation of such networks. This method's key strength is its capacity to harness RF energy, which renews the nodes' power sources and increases their operational lives. The effectiveness of the suggested strategy is exposed through thorough simulations, which puts it favorably in contrast to current methodologies. The parameters of residual energy, count of functioning nodes, and overall network longevity all highlight this approach's superior performance and highlight its potential to change the WSN landscape within the dynamic and energy-conscious IoT environment. http://ijaems.com/detail/enhancing-the-energy-efficiency-of-wireless-sensor-networks-in-iot/ Zeeshan Ali http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/5IJAEMS-10220251-Enhancing.pdf Implementing a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) configuration can substantially enhance the capacity of an optical communication system. Nonetheless, the DWDM system encounters notable challenges due to nonlinear effects that hinder its performance. Self-phase modulation (SPM), cross-phase modulation (XPM), and four-wave mixing (FWM) are three key factors that exert a significant influence on the system's optical communication capabilities. The primary objective of this research is to tackle and alleviate the nonlinear impact of cross-phase modulation within the DWDM system through an effective approach. In this research, we introduce a method for correcting dispersion in DWDM systems. These nonlinearities, encompassing self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, and four-wave mixing, are common occurrences in such systems. The researcher's proposal primarily centers on addressing cross-phase modulation. To comprehensively assess the DWDM system, we explored the effects of fluctuations in power and data rates. According to the results, a 32 channel DWDM system can effectively correct nonlinearities utilizing the suggested Symmetrical-Symmetrical-Post compensation technique (SSP) up to a transmission distance of 400 km using an input power of 20mW & data rate of 100 Gbps. These characteristics are ideal for long-distance optical communication. Suitably modifying the data rate and input power, it is feasible to increase no of channels and transmission distance. The new SSP method was also found to perform better than the conventional post-compensation methodology, making it more appropriate for long-haul DWDM systems. It is crucial to understand that the SSP technique by itself is unable to fully offset the spectral broadening brought on by cross-phase modulation. In order to solve this problem, combining sophisticated modulation methods with SSP can successfully reduce the spectrum broadening. This strategy can call for the use of more amplifiers, which could result in increased power consumption. In such configurations, dynamic control of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is essential. http://ijaems.com/detail/analyzing-and-compensation-of-non-linear-effects-on-dwdm-based-optical-fiber-communication-system/ Abdul Majid Adil http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/6IJAEMS-10220253-Analyzing.pdf Broad machine-type communication, ultra-reliable low-latency communication, and efficient management of expanding mobile broadband traffic are now achievable with the advent of 5th-Generation (5G) wireless mobile communication standards. One of the biggest challenges for 5G networks, meanwhile, developing effective Radio Resource Management (RRM) and scheduling algorithms that meet quality of service (QoS) requirements. Widely used Proportional Fair algorithm, which primarily gives priority to customers served by a node depending on their flow rate, is the foundation of the current 5G scheduling technology. The purpose of this project is to investigate methods for improving 5G network throughput and to suggest novel scheduling schemes. This work advances the development of 5G and other mobile communication technologies by adding data flow package latency as an extra priority parameter and using MATLAB for simulation analysis. In the end, it offers a new scheduling technique that was developed through the assessment of different radio resource scheduling approaches. http://ijaems.com/detail/designing-flexible-scheduling-algorithm-for-5g/ Usama Aslam http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/7IJAEMS-10220254-Designing.pdf This study investigates the role of strategic vigilance in achieving strategic success, focusing on its impact on organizational performance, innovation capability, competitive advantage, and strategic success in private hospitals in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
