Attendance is a method used to monitor someone's attendance at an activity. Attendance data collection is currently using the manual, namely by signing on the list of names that have been provided. The weakness of this manual system is that the timeliness in attendance is less accurate. In addition, at Islamic boarding schools, students are prohibited from holding personal money or remittances from their respective parents. This is done to avoid bad events such as losing money, overspending, and others. Based on these problems, this final project will create an attendance system and an RFID-based payment instrument equipped with reports in the form of notifications to WhatsApp. The purpose of this system is to provide convenience in managing attendance data. This system uses an RFID reader input as an RFID card reader, nodeMCU ESP8266 as a microcontroller, and output in the form of an LCD and buzzer as indicators, as well as reports in the form of notifications to WhatsApp. The output of this final project the system can detect and distinguish between registered and unregistered RFID to make attendance and payments. The system can also send notifications on WhatsApp every time you make attendance and payments with an average duration of 6 seconds.

Authors: Sunil Kumar Gupta
Published: May 2024

This study introduces an enhanced Random Forest classifier, optimized using a novel Bayesian optimization approach that incorporates gradient and Hessian computations. Our objective was to improve the model's accuracy and computational efficiency when applied to this specific type of image data. We conducted a series of experiments to statistically assess the performance of our proposed classifier against conventional models. Using a robust dataset of annotated images depicting various stages of lumpy skin disease, our model demonstrated superior performance in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Bayesian optimization effectively tuned the hyperparameters of the classifier, leading to significant improvements in learning rates and decision boundary formations. This paper details our methodology, experimental setup, and statistical validations, highlighting the benefits of our approach. Our findings suggest that the improved Random Forest classifier can serve as a powerful tool for veterinary diagnostics and may be adaptable for other complex image classification tasks.

En el uso hablado y escrito del idioma español se sigue administrando que el analfabetismo se incrementa cada día en el mundo y, mientras la lectura selecta permanezca relegada como actividad esencial de estudios, las imprecisiones del lenguaje seguirán aumentando. Las expresiones espontáneas, alegres o graciosas son recomendables; pero, cuando aparecen la ramplonería, el sentido malicioso, los tonos fuertes y la gramática descuidada, se corre el riesgo de que esos empiecen a convertirse en los referentes de expresión para millones de personas. Es evidente que las nuevas percepciones que genera el mundo virtual influyen en nuestra cotidianidad y las formas de hablar y de escribir son ejemplo claro. Las concordancias entre singular y plural poco importan, el confuso uso del género, la desaparición de las tildes, abuso de las mayúsculas, los extraños vocativos, entre otras fallas, hoy son comunes. Sin embargo, Jairo Valderrama Valderrama, nos brinda la posibilidad de corregir errores, salvar equivocaciones idiomáticas y de mejorar la destreza en el buen uso del idioma español.

Published: May 2024

Online shopping is one of the e-commerce platforms. It has gradually become famous worldwide and is expanding quickly in nations because of its continuous changes and upgrades. Most online shoppers are aged 20 and 30. University students have become one of Malaysia's most significant market populations due to the growth of digital educational services. However, it is still unclear what factors drive these university students toward online purchase of digital products. This study examines the relationship between social influence, product preference, system security, perceived pricing, and online purchase intention of digital products among public university students. 227 undergraduate students enrolled in Malaysian public universities were surveyed using a quantitative questionnaire. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the collected data for this project. The findings of this study demonstrated significant relationships between online purchase intention and social influence, system security, and perceived pricing. According to the analysis results, perceived pricing has the most significant influence on purchasers' intention to purchase online. Hence, service providers should ensure that their product pricing is reasonable and worth the money to purchase. Additionally, marketing strategies can be tailored using e-WOM practices to raise social influence, and the system's security aspects must be enhanced to increase trust and knowledge of the legitimacy of online purchases.

Published: May 2024

In Jordan, the Energy Security Sector has been a major contributor to recent economic growth. Due to that vital agenda, a new strategic planning methodology, such as strategic foresight, is expected to play an important role in resolving crises induced by Jordan's high demand and energy resource scarcity. However, there are few studies that investigate how strategic foresight influences crisis management. So, the goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of strategic foresight, as defined by (technology intelligence, competitive intelligence, political environment foresight, and consumer foresight), influences on crisis management in Jordan's energy security sector. A total of 200 questionnaires were delivered to respondents chosen from a population list of 1622 managers working in energy-related enterprises throughout Jordan. The data was analyzed using SEM with SMART-PLS 4. The measurement model was used to test the validity and reliability of the theoretical model, and the path coefficient in the structural equation model was used to evaluate the study hypotheses. As a result, this study supports the significant impact of technology intelligence, political environment foresight, and consumer foresight on crisis management. On the contrary, competitive intelligence had no impact on crisis management in Jordan.

O orçamento é uma etapa crucial para o sucesso de qualquer empreendimento, visto que identifica os custos envolvidos na execução do projeto. Deve ser realizado por um profissional capacitado, pois erros podem resultar em perda de lucro ou prejuízo. No orçamento detalhado, são elencados todos os insumos e serviços necessários para o projeto, garantindo uma visão abrangente dos custos envolvidos. Este estudo analisou os custos relacionados à construção de uma residência unifamiliar, utilizando o SINAPI, SETOP e CUB. A metodologia empregada baseou-se em um estudo de caso. Para obter os quantitativos necessários, utilizou-se a ficha técnica de serviços de uma residência, fornecida pelo próprio SINAPI. A partir dessa ficha os três orçamentos foram realizados. Durante a orçamentação com o SETOP, alguns ajustes foram feitos devido à ausência de itens específicos. Para o CUB, foram utilizadas as características e padrão de acabamento do imóvel para a realização do orçamento. Com isso, chegou-se a um custo de R$104.457,91 para o orçamento SINAPI, R$109.405,99 para o SETOP e R$122.946,38 para o CUB. Assim, foi possível verificar que os orçamentos realizados com o SINAPI e o SETOP apresentaram valores próximos e bem mais econômicos em comparação com o realizado com o CUB, com uma diferença de 17,70% e 12,40%, respectivamente. Com isso, concluímos que os bancos de dados são uma ferramenta importante na elaboração dos orçamentos, tornando o processo ágil. Porém, é essencial compreender as metodologias e critérios adotados por eles para determinar qual refletirá com mais precisão a realidade da obra.

Um projeto estrutural deve ser concebido com o objetivo de assegurar a segurança e a funcionalidade da edificação, e de forma a minimizar os custos de sua construção. Os dois primeiros aspectos são garantidos a partir do cumprimento dos critérios estabelecidos pelas normas técnicas. Já para minimizar os custos de construção, os projetistas têm em seu alcance a otimização matemática como uma poderosa ferramenta na tomada de decisões. Diante desse contexto, este trabalho apresenta um estudo comparativo, em termos econômicos, de projetos otimizados de vigas T de concreto armado seguindo as especificações estabelecidas pelas versões de norma ABNT NBR 6118:2014 e ABNT NBR 6118:2007. Para isso, são apresentados modelos matemáticos que, a partir do momento fletor de cálculo, determinam a seção transversal otimizada de tais elementos (dimensões da seção transversal e área de armadura tracionada e comprimida), respeitando o equilíbrio da seção transversal, disposições construtivas e condições de restrição estabelecidas pelas duas versões de norma. Para a implementação computacional do algoritmo de minimização matemática aplicado ao modelo foi utilizado o software MATLAB e a rotina fmincon presente em sua biblioteca auxiliar de otimização, sendo empregado o Método dos Pontos Interiores como método iterativo para determinação da solução ótima do problema restrito. De forma a realizar análises e estabelecer comparativos, são apresentados resultados obtidos em dois contextos distintos: um primeiro, contemplando as restrições estabelecidas pela versão ABNT NBR 6118:2007; e um segundo, atendendo o exposto pela versão ABNT NBR 6118:2014. Os resultados mostram-se significativos no contexto da otimização do custo dos problemas modelados e permitem concluir que a versão ABNT NBR 6118:2014 leva ao dimensionamento de vigas T ligeiramente menos econômicas que a sua versão anterior.
Determinants of Bank Stability in Nigeria
Authors: Aniemeke Ejime Herbert
Published: May 2024

The paper examines the determinants of bank stability in Nigeria over the 2000 to 2021 period. The analysis was conducted using the ZSCORE as the measure of bank stability in Nigeria alongside the regulatory capital ratio, cost-to-income, non-performing loans, loan-to-deposit, bank concentration, and the share of domestic private credit to GDP as the determinants of bank stability. The model was estimated using the time-series ordinary least square regression method. The results show that the regulatory capital ratio, cost-to-income, non-performing loans, loan-to-deposit, bank concentration, and the share of domestic private credit to GDP are all significant determinants of bank stability in Nigeria. More specifically, regulatory capital ratio, cost-to-income ratio, non-performing loans, and domestic private credit are negative measure of bank stability, while loan-to-deposit ratio and bank concentration are positive determinants of bank stability in Nigeria.
Comparison of Dinoprostone versus Oxytocin with Dinoprostone for the Induction of Labour: A Retrospective Case-control Study in a Tertiary Clinic in Türkiye
Authors: an g , z ya , ekin murat , ar levent
Published: May 2024

Aim: Even though the number of inductions is still rising, limited information is available about the results of subsequent pregnancies following induction. The current study was aimed at comparing the effectiveness of dinoprostone and low-dose oxytocin with dinoprostone in the induction of labour for term pregnancies to assess the need for additional uterotonic agents.
Material and methods:In this retrospective study, 99 patients with full-term pregnancies (completed 37 weeks or more of pregnancy) who had unripe cervixes underwent labour induction for different reasons were evaluated. BISHOP score was performed to predict the patient who required labour induction. All participants were given either only a sustained-release dinoprostone vaginal insert or low-dose administration of oxytocin to the dinoprostone. Two patient groups’ clinical characteristics were compared.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups based on age, gravity, parity, and gestation weeks. However, there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the duration of the active phase of labour and time from admission until the end of the second stage of labour (p=0.04). Labour and birth occurred in a significantly shorter time in the dinoprostone + oxytocin group. Common indications for induction of labour were post-term pregnancy (77.14%). The cesarean section ratio was found to be similar in both groups (p=0.084). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of adverse events such as tachysystole and hyperstimulation of the uterus and infant outcomes (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Sustained-release dinoprostone and dinoprostone with low-dose oxytocin were both found to be effective augmentations in the management of delay in labour. Our results supported that administration of oxytocin with dinoprostone vaginal insert dramatically shortened induction to delivery times, and no significant increase of cesarean section rate had been found.

Published: May 2024

Aim: This study aimed to assess the rates of peer bullying and stress-coping strategies in adolescents with SAD and to investigate the relationship between SAD and different types of peer bullying.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included ninety-two adolescents aged 14 to 17 years with SAD and one hundred-five typically developing adolescents. A semi-structured psychiatric interview, the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A), the Peer Bullying Scale-Adolescent Form (PBS-AF), and the Coping Scale for Adolescents (CSA) were applied to all participants. Peer bullying was classified into six types (physical, verbal, exclusion, spreading rumors, attacks against property, and sexual) and two roles (bullying and victimization).Results: On every subscale of the PBS-AF victimization dimension, the SAD group's mean scores were significantly higher than those of the controls. Regarding the PBS-AF bullying dimension, the Physical Bullying and Sexual Bullying scores of the SAD group were significantly lower than the control group, but the Isolation/ Exclusion scores were significantly higher than the control group. Compared to the control group, the mean scores of Active Coping of CSA were significantly lower, while the mean scores of Negative Coping and Avoidant Coping were significantly higher in the SAD group. The SAS-A's total score had a significant positive correlation with all subscales of the PBS-AF victimization dimension. Age, gender, academic performance, and psychiatric comorbidity had a predictive effect on some of the victimization dimension variables of peer bullying.
Conclusion: This study has revealed that SAD is an important risk factor for peer victimization. The routine psychiatric examination of adolescents with SAD should also include a screening for peer bullying.

Published: May 2024

En octubre de 2023 el Ecuador eligió a su sexaségisimo cuarto presidente y el primero bajo elecciones anticipadas. El presente artículo, tiene como objetivo identificar ¿Cómo fue en la segunda vuelta electoral el votante de Daniel Noboa y Luisa González en 2023? El objetivo de plantear esta pregunta es conocer como el perfil del votante se ha tornado cada vez más determinado, pero también si este se compone o tiene relación significativa con algún tipo de clivaje inmerso en la sociedad ecuatoriana. Para ello, como metodología se realizó una revisión de literatura de clivajes y la recolección de datos cuantitativos empíricos de relación entre variables independientes (edad, educación, etnia e ingresos) y una variable dependiente (voto). Se identifico al tipo de votante de cada uno de los candidatos, diferenciados en relación las variables de estudios para cada uno. Los resultados considerando su valor de p-value (Pr) demuestran ser estadísticamente significativos, sin embargo, tomando en cuenta los datos de Cramer’s V se identifica que las asociaciones entre variables a excepción de edad-voto, poseen una correlación modesta. Lo que podría indicar la necesidad de aplicación de otros métodos cuantitativos o el profundizar en factores y/o clivajes no considerados determinantes.
La dinámica del clivaje regional en Ecuador (1978-2023)
Authors: Ayala Cruz Gustavo
Published: May 2024

El artículo busca establecer la dinámica del clivaje regional a través de un análisis de los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales en Ecuador desde 1978 hasta 2023. La propuesta critica el tratamiento teórico tradicional del clivaje regional que lo asocia con las regiones naturales, además se cuestiona que no ve el ritmo en su activación y la modificación de los contornos geográficos. A través de un examen de las trayectorias de la nacionalización del sistema de partidos y de los partidos se establece la existencia de un comportamiento territorial diferenciado y con diversos momentos. Posteriormente, se analiza el partido triunfador por circunscripción, los partidos finalistas y el respaldo obtenido por estos, con ello se identifica los ejes de la competencia electoral. Se concluye que la dinámica electoral regional no responde a las regiones naturales (sierra vs costa), y se evidencian otras lógicas territoriales (subregional, provincial y de proximidad). Se establece que existe un centro ampliado (Quito, Guayaquil) con su periferia (sierra centro y Amazonía). Finalmente, se destaca que el clivaje regional se reactivó durante el correato tras una configuración espacial que ha mutado y cuyo asentamiento, desde el 2017, se mantiene abierto.

The following are chosen as the main components of inclusive competence: personal-motivational, cognitive-content, evaluative-reflective and technological components. It was determined that the training of a future special education specialist to work with children with special educational needs should be provided with thorough knowledge, which is mainly determined by the structure and social factors of psychophysical disorders; corrective work methodology and its evaluation criteria; corrective element of ways of using special didactic methods; methods of designing and implementing corrective tasks depending on the type of violation, as well as variants of modification of modern educational technologies for training the future specialist in special education.
HUMANISTIC ORIENTATION OF TECHNICAL CREATIVITY IN THE EARLY MODERN ERA
Authors: BAKUMENKO Oleksandr
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of technical creativity, taking into account the specifics of its implementation in the early Modern period, which is fundamentally connected and is the prototype of modern technogenic civilization. A retrospective analysis of technical creativity can significantly expand the optics of understanding the imbalance that is rapidly forming between technological breakthroughs and the impulses coming from the world of technical creativity and the practical experience of adapting to technological challenges, let us say not only of the average person, but even of the Human Creator. After all, the modern era clearly demonstrates the consequences of the creator's alienation from the products of his or her own technical creativity. This happens both as a result of a person's loss of control due to the limitation of his or her own essential powers and the purposeful creation of anti-humanistic technologies that a priori undermine the balance of human and technological in the modern world. The article provides a comparative analysis of the manifestations and consequences of technical creativity, chronologically distinguished between the early and late Moderns. It has been proven that the Creator of the New Age radically denies the worldview of the Renaissance and represents himself as an intellectual of the Cartesian type. One of the priority tasks of this article is to clarify the differences between anthropological and utilitarian-functionalist interpretations of human activity and scientific and technological progress. Particular emphasis is placed on the fact that the Human Creator is personally responsible for the consequences of his actions. Adherence to the Code of Ethics will allow the inventor to strengthen the anthropological feasibility of the results of technical creativity and minimize the risks that are always an integral part of innovation. In this regard, the article attempts to find out, using the methodological potential of discursive ethics (K.-O. Apel), whether modern man is able to make an anthropological turn in the spirit of Socrates' moral maxim and Kant's ethics of duty, or whether his ideological inspiration is kinism and cynicism in their modern modifications, and the truth is determined only by the argument that is useful here and now. This logic of the study led to the use of the theoretical foundations of the Frankfurt School. It is proved that a person whose technical creativity loses its humanistic intentions automatically turns into a neo-Barbarian, and the results of his or her creative activity are marginalized.

Authors: HIRLINA Natalia
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the impact of the processes of media culture formation on educational processes in the context of the creating of media education space as a socialization environment on the basis of domestic scientific research. There is an increasing media-cultural determination of the space of human existence in the conditions of informatization of society and the spread of electronic media, which raises the problem of radical transformations of the entire process of socialization. Emphasizing the media component of the study of educational aspects of the problem of socialization in the information society gives reasons to consider the media-cultural space as the main component of the educational space which has the greatest impact on the space of human formation and existence. The sphere of culture as an environment of socialization is gradually turning into a media-cultural environment. The process of forming the media-educational space of socialization is a representation of the general trend of the development of electronic mass communications. The most remarkable feature of the media-educational space is the limitlessness in the physical-spatial relationship of opportunities for human development, which are expanding simultaneously with the further development of global mass media. It is proved that media and media culture in the conditions of the formation of a post-industrial society have turned into system-creating functions regarding the formation of the educational environment of human socialization, the result of mass media activity is the creation of a person's living space. This living space, based on the media educational space, actively contributes to the formation of individual and collective identities, influencing social practices and perceptions of the world. The media education space is not an abstract repository of media texts; specific people perceive it as a personal event, but as a set of such events - as their own life world. And this is what makes this space such an effective environment for socialization. For pedagogical studies of the socialization process, the integral quality of this concept is particularly important, i.e., the ability to comprehensively investigate the transformations of the socialization process both in the context of the interaction of various sociocultural phenomena of the postmodern era, and in the context of existing scientific traditions of studying the educational space.

Published: May 2024

The primary goal of this project is to develop a face recognition-based attendance monitoring system for educational institutions, aiming to improve and modernize the current attendance procedures, making them more efficient and effective. The existing system suffers from ambiguities that lead to inaccuracies and inefficiencies in attendance recording. Numerous issues arise when authorities cannot enforce the regulations of the old system. This project leverages face recognition technology to address these problems. During attendance sessions, the system will compare faces against a database to verify identities. Once an individual is identified, their attendance will be automatically recorded, with the necessary information in an Excel sheet. This automated system aids faculty in taking attendance for the entire class without causing any disruption or wasting time. We propose and have implemented a smart attendance system with the potential to incorporate Quick Response (QR) codes as a future method for managing attendance. This system aims to streamline and document student attendance during lectures and other activities across all relevant courses. At the end of the day, the Excel sheet containing attendance details for all individuals will be emailed to the respective faculty members.

Silver is exploited for the benefit of mankind from past centuries. Silver has been proved to be much more powerful when compared to other metallic nanoparticles, not only bactericidal properties but it is also effective against eukaryotic microorganisms and viruses. Creation of Ag Nanoparticles has increased the silver efficacy many folds due to their physical and chemical properties, especially the surface area to volume ratio is most important imparting the antibacterial activity over various microorganisms. To lessen bacterial infections in incurable wounds nanocrystalline silver dressings, creams, gels are formulated. However, several problems are associated with the use. Silver nanoparticle toxicity is a major threat associated with their use and the inhibition of beneficiary microorganisms due to lack of specificity of silver nanoparticles is environmentalist’s concern. To reduce the threats associated, there should be a careful assessment of the silver nanoparticles release into the environment and should be regulated. It has to be noted that novel methods to produce silver nanoparticles which reduce the toxicity and other associated threats has to be developed in the future to exploit the vast capabilities of the silver nanoparticles for the benefit of mankind. As technology advancement is always in demand with changing environmental conditions, the present review will focus on the synthesis and antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles along with its environmental impact.

The food industry has significantly boosted the agricultural economy of India, historically known as the largest producing nation with a strong agricultural identity. The primary crops include grains, fruits (such as potatoes, oranges, tomatoes), sugarcane, and specially cultivated grains and cotton. Maharashtra, a state in India, has experienced substantial economic growth, particularly attributed to citrus and cotton industries. This growth has generated employment opportunities and holds significant potential for the state's economic advancement. To sustain the prosperity of these industries, the government is actively addressing concerns related to disease control, Labor costs, and global market dynamics. In recent times, citrus canker, citrus greening, and black spots on cotton have emerged as severe threats to citrus crops in Maharashtra. Farmers are troubled by the costs associated with tree loss, scouting efforts, and the use of chemicals to control diseases. An automated detection system could play a crucial role in preventing and minimizing these losses, thereby safeguarding the industries, farmers, and the overall economy. This research focuses on developing disease detection through pattern recognition methods for various crops. The image detection process has some main categories which are image acquisition, image processing, and pattern recognition. Image preprocessing is used to process the image in a clear and clean format. Pattern recognition methods are then utilized to classify samples into different crop conditions. To assess classification approaches, results will be compared across different crops for disease detection. The goal is to demonstrate a classification accuracy surpassing existing models, reaching the highest. The research primarily aims to showcase the feasibility of disease detection based on visible symptoms on fruits or leaves. Data collection and initial knowledge acquisition are planned through offline and online approaches. The overall motive is to have accurate detection of the fruits and leaves thereafter using those results for diseases detection.

In today's digital age, technology advancements have transformed how consumers buy airline tickets, with facilitating conditions, Electronic Word of Mouth (EWOM), and trust playing pivotal roles in the decision-making process. Understanding these factors through the UTAUT can help airlines and travel agencies enhance their digital platforms and marketing strategies. The study aims to determine the effect of technology acceptance (UTAUT) variables, namely performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, Electronic Words of Mouth (EWOM), and trust, in the decision to purchase airline tickets online in Indonesia. The study used a purposive sampling technique and structural equation modelling to test the research hypothesis. This study used an online research questionnaire survey technique for 253 respondents. The results of the study show that the UTAUT dimension performance expectancy with t-statistic 2.207>1.96, effort expectancy (2.068>1.96), facilitating condition (2.085>1.96), and EWOM (2.348>1.96) influence online ticket purchase decisions. The social influence dimension doesn’t influence purchase decisions with t-statistics 0.618<1.96. The study also found that Trust mediates the relationship between performance expectancy with coefficient score (0.061), effort expectancy (0.044), facilitating conditions (0.054), and EWOM (0.042) on purchasing decisions
Fear and Chameleon Politics in Papua, Indonesia
Authors: Huwae Marlon Arthur , Timmer Jaap
Published: May 2024

In this response we critique Cahyo Pamungkas and Yogi Setya Permana's proposal to see military repression in West Papua as a result of two equal factors: fear of Papuan independence and Papuan fear of military repression. They argue this in the article titled "The Role of Fear and Memory
in West Papua's Ethnonationalist Conflict," published in this journal in volume 97 (1) in March 2024. While we applaud their effort at investigating the emotional aspects of the West Papua conflict, juxtaposing these two forms of fear to explain the cycle of violence in Indonesia's easternmost
region fails to reflect the reality of the situation. In this article we suggest several other paths to develop a deeper comprehension of fear in Papua. Such investigations will also show the need for a shift in the general perspective on the resolution of the Papua conflict.
