Authors: Mohd Amil Che Wan Nabilah Che W , Haris Balkis , Kassim Nor Akila Mohd
Published: November 2023

Financial institutions worldwide have huge dangers in non-performing loans. Hence, they are required to review their lending policies. The default loans also lead to massive losses on banks and decreased economic growth. Therefore, non-performing loans are a predominant concern that affects financial markets and banking industry suitability. The rise in non-performing loans has an adverse impact on the banking sector. Therefore, understanding the determinants of non-performing loans is critical to safeguard the overall economy's productivity. Motivated by this scenario, this study investigates the determinants of Non-Performing Loans in Malaysia's banking system. Inflation Rates, Lending Interest Rates, Real Interest Rates, Gross Domestic Product, Gross Domestic Saving and Unemployment Rates are the variables used and collected yearly from 1988 to 2020, consisting of 33 observations for each variable. The method used for data analysis in this study is multiple regression analysis. The research results revealed that Gross Domestic Product, Gross Domestic Saving, and Unemployment significantly explained Non-Performing Loans in Malaysia. The findings have important implications for policymaking, besides adding new knowledge to the existing literature.

Published: November 2023

In 2016, the Ministry of Health (MOH), Malaysia, initiated a sustainable program that includes activities for sustainable energy management at all 145 buildings under the MOH. The focus of the sustainable energy management program is to target these buildings to reduce their annual energy consumption by 10% by 2018. The target implementation of a sustainable energy management program includes achieving 3-star EMGS certification within 5 years. By December 2022, 135 have achieved two-star certification with the requirement to achieve at least 5% energy consumption savings. By 2019, the 118 buildings that embarked on EMGS certification had achieved 22.62% energy consumption savings. District and specialist hospitals achieved 23%–24% savings in 2019. The largest energy consumption in MOH buildings is for room cooling, which is contributed by air conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) equipment. The implementation of a sustainable energy management program has contributed to energy cost savings of RM21 million per year to MOH energy bills in 2019.

Business incubation plays a crucial role in sustaining business success in both emerging and developing countries. Business incubators help businesses in developing countries effectively use innovation to reduce poverty and sustain social and economic development and growth. This conceptual paper focuses on the effect of funding in business incubator practices on business success in the context of Palestine. Additionally, this study strives to establish the mediating effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on the relationship between funding and business success. This study will apply a quantitative approach to collect data from businesses in Palestine. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) method will be used to analyze the data. This study adopted a resource-based view (RBV), which claims that resources, skills, and capabilities are valuable tangible and intangible resources that lead to business success. If empirically supported, the proposed framework may provide effective assistance for business incubators, entrepreneurs, business owners, and managers in developing countries such as Palestine.

Published: November 2023

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between selected governance factors and growth rates in the manufacturing sector's output among the member states of BRICS. This study examined the institutionalized growth theory and explored four governance factors: government effectiveness, regulatory quality, control of corruption, and voice and accountability. The study also considered factors associated with both exogenous and endogenous growth theories. The estimation process involves applying the first difference generalized method of moments (D-GMM) on a linear dynamic panel model. The data spans from 2010 to 2021. The findings of this study suggest that among the BRICS nations, government effectiveness is the most significant predictor of growth in the manufacturing sector, out of the four governance factors that were examined. The factors of voice and accountability, control of corruption, and regulatory quality did not demonstrate the capacity to exert influence on variations in the growth of the manufacturing sector within the BRICS countries. Unlike prior studies, our research incorporates a range of established growth theories in constructing the empirical model. Additionally, we employ an instrumental variable approach for dynamic panel data analysis. We utilize robust standard errors to address potential issues of endogeneity and model misspecification. Therefore, BRICS countries should devote a sizeable portion of their resources to building solid mechanisms that make it easier for the implementation, oversight, and thorough reporting of government activities inside their manufacturing sector. This strategy could increase governmental effectiveness, which would encourage overall manufacturing sector growth.

Published: November 2023

The characteristics of bearing supports have been considered. Improving the efficiency of mechanical processing, the quality of operation of mechanisms that use sliding bearing supports, and ensuring stable operation are always important tasks. Solving these tasks contributes to reducing labor costs, reducing operating costs, and increasing the productivity of individual operations. The following main criteria are proposed for the selection of supports: the magnitude of the loads that supports can withstand; the range of allowable shaft rotation frequencies; accuracy in maintaining the position of the axis of shaft rotation; stability of shaft rotation (possibility of autooscillations and undesirable transient processes); energy costs and economic indicators of manufacturing and operation; vibroacoustic characteristics (noise level, sound level). The study of the movement of the working body that separates the friction pairs in the bearing is based on two fundamental laws of hydrodynamic lubrication theory: the law of mass conservation and the law ofmomentumconservation.Mathematicalmodels of supports with fluid lubrication, based on the Navier-Stokes equations, were used. The requirements for bearing supports are formulated on the basis of the tasks solved by the entire mechanism. The flow parameters of the working body affect the load-bearing capacity of radial bearings, and the proposed evaluation dependencies can also be used for tapered supports. The calculation results indicate a significant influence of the flow parameters of the working body on the expansion of the areas of rarefaction and the range of their values, as well as on the reduction of the area and range of increased pressures. It has been established that with small shaft eccentricities rotating at speeds of 60–70 m/s and with a radial clearance of 80 μm, the increase in load capacity can reach 20 %. An important qualitative feature has been identified: with an increase in the Reynolds number Re*, the load capacity of the bearing increases. The greatest intensity of changes in load capacity due to the influence of flow parameters of the working body is observed at a relative eccentricity of e = 0.2–0.4. The terms in the Navier-Stokes equation that take into account the parameters of the working fluid flow can have values that are comparable to other terms, so ignoring them is not always permissible.

In the article, a mathematical model of the oscillating motion of a vibrating separator is constructed. The methods of nonlinear mechanics and the calculation scheme of the vibration separator with an eccentric and a spring suspension, which is presented in the form of a flat mechanical system with four degrees of freedom, were used for its construction. The amplitude of oscillations of the vibration separator capacities in the vertical plane is greater than the amplitude of its oscillations in the horizontal plane. It is believed that the containers of the vibroseparator move only in the vertical plane, that is, they are in planar motion. The obtained mathematical model makes it possible to investigate the influence of the separator parameters with their arbitrary combination on the productivity of its work with the aim of its optimization.

An important task is to improve cutting tools for high-precision productive machining of difficult-to-machine materials by applying the latest tool hardening methods. This is especially true for carbide-cutting tools. The paper analyzes the current state of the problem of improving the tooling of new machine tools for high-precision productive machining of hard-tomachine materials. The main known methods of increasing the wear resistance and strength of carbide tools can be divided into the following groups: structural methods; mechanical hardening; wearresistant coatings; chemical and thermal treatment; laser hardening; plasma-arc hardening; radiation hardening; ionic alloying; magnetic abrasive treatment; and pulsed magnetic field treatment. The choice of a particular hardening method depends on many factors that determine its effectiveness and costs in certain production conditions. The conditions for machining large-sized parts at heavy engineering enterprises are analyzed. It was found that, along with wear, the destruction of the cutting part in the form of pitting and fracture is significant. Statistical studies have proven that when machining on heavy machine tools, the cutting force allowed by the machine tool mechanisms does not limit the cutting modes. The maximumvalues of forces are up to 10 times higher than their average value, which is usually used to calculate the design parameters of cutting tools An analysis of various methods for improving the physical and mechanical properties of carbide tool materials has shown that the best combination of cost and production efficiency is observed in pulsed magnetic field treatment. The use of magnetic fields in cutting processes and tool hardening is a promising area of high-technology development in machining. Increasing tool life can be achieved by the influence of a magnetic field either on the conditions of the cutting process or on the structure and physical and mechanical properties of tool materials with ferromagnetic components.
ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE DISPLACEMENT OF THE GEAR RACK PROFILE OF THE PAIR EVOLUTION GEARING ON THE QUALITY INDICATORS OF THE TRANSMISSION

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of the modification of the paired evolute gearing with convex-concave contact on the quality indicators of transmission, namely, the contact pressure and the speed of slippage in the engagement. Previous studies of evolute gears showed the presence of characteristic zones on the side surface of the tooth, which have worse values of quality indicators than in similar involute gear. One of the ways to remove these zones or to reduce their impact on the load capacity of the transmission is to modify the tooth profile, which will be implemented by shifting the profile of the processing gear rack. A displacement factor is added to the equation of the rail profile curve, which has the same value for the gear and wheel teeth, but the opposite sign. On the basis of the developed equation, the side profiles of the teeth of the gear and the wheel were constructed. Several values of the rack displacement coefficient with a positive and negative sign for the gear teeth are considered. The results of the research allow us to evaluate the influence of the amount and direction of the rail displacement on the curvature of the tooth profiles, the contact pressure in engagement along the height of the tooth, and the relative and absolute speed of sliding. The modifications of the profile of the processing toothed rack proposed in this work will expand the existence of paired evolute gears with a different set of quality indicators. This will make it possible to design gears with rational values of contact pressures and slip speeds when they are used in heavily loaded transmissions created for specific operating conditions. Gears with relatively high slip speeds can be used in road and construction equipment transmissions, which are characterized by low shaft rotation frequency, in which the speed of slip between the teeth does not have a significant effect on the life or efficiency of the transmission. Otherwise, gears with relatively low slip speeds are very relevant when they are implemented in the transmission of modern and promising vehicles with a hybrid or fully electric power unit, especially in the case of passenger cars with high-speed electric motors.
Fish Symbolism in Indus Valley Epigraphy and Protohistoric Accounts
Authors: Sengupta Shamashis
Published: November 2023

The contribution of the Indus Valley civilization to the historic cultures of South Asia is a matter of debate due to a discontinuity in material culture, from the time of its decline to the reappearance of urbanization several centuries later. Progress in the epigraphy of the Indus Valley has been hindered by the absence of a bilingual inscription and the brevity of its texts. One of the most frequent signs encountered in its undeciphered writing system is the pictogram of ‘fish’. On a few seal inscriptions, this sign appears alone, suggesting that it represented a meaningful word or a name. It is noteworthy that Indian literature of later centuries recounts a protohistoric kingdom named Matsya in the vicinity of the Indus Valley sites, as matsya is the Sanskrit word for ‘fish’ and a divinity in the form of a fish is celebrated in the Indian version of the flood myth. An analysis of these narratives is presented in this paper, revealing the possibility of an association with the Indus Valley civilization of the more distant past. These observations indicate that fish symbolism may have occupied a place of prominence in Indus culture from political and religious perspectives. The Matsya territory mentioned in Vedic and epic literature is discussed in light of the chalcolithic cultures of Rajasthan, and it is suggested that this region witnessed successive waves of migration of different cultural groups due to its economic importance related to the exploitation of copper reserves.

Published: November 2023

Clustering is one of the tasks performed during exploratory data analysis with an extensive and wealthy history in a variety of disciplines. Application of clustering in computational medicine is one such application of clustering that has proliferated in the recent past. K-means algorithms are the most popular because of their ability to adapt to new examples besides scaling up to large datasets. They are also easy to understand and implement. However, with k-means algorithms, k-hyperparameter tuning is a long standing challenge. The sparse and redundant nature of the high-dimensional datasets makes the k-hyperparameter tuning in high-dimensional space clustering a more challenging task. A proper k-hyperparameter tuning has a significant effect on the clustering results. A number of state-of-the art k-hyperparameter tuning techniques in high-dimensional space have been proposed.  However, these techniques perform differently in a variety of high-dimensional datasets and data-dimensionality reduction methods. This article uses a five-step methodology  to investigate the trends and advances on the state of the art k-hyperparameter tuning techniques in high-dimensional space clustering, data dimensionality reduction methods used with these techniques, their tuning strategies, nature of the datasets applied with them as well as the challenges associated with the cluster analysis in high-dimensional spaces. The metrics used in evaluating these techniques are also reviewed. The results of this review, elaborated in the discussion section, makes it efficient for data science researchers to undertake an empirical study among these techniques; a study that subsequently forms the basis for creating improved solutions to this k-hyperparameter tuning problem.

Religión urbana en la Bética: una aproximación a través del estudio de los espacios de culto
Authors: López-Gómez José Carlos
Published: November 2023

En este trabajo se aplica el instrumento metodológico de la urban religion a un conjunto de espacios de culto urbanos de la Bética datados entre la época republicana y el alto imperio. La urban religion plantea estudiar el fenómeno religioso como un elemento activo en los procesos de urbanización, pero a la vez, como un sujeto pasivo que se adaptaba a las condiciones urbanas, y adquiere elementos propios de la urbanidad. En su aplicación, el foco se sitúa en la acción de los individuos, quienes desarrollan diversas estrategias de apropiación y transformación de los espacios religiosos con fines diversos, como incrementar su agencia religiosa, atraer a una mayor audiencia o aumentar su prestigio y su poder social. En este artículo se subraya cómo, aunque la acción institucional tiene un peso enorme en la configuración del entramado urbanístico de las ciudades de la Bética, algunos espacios de culto fueron resultado de procesos de competitividad y negociación entre grupos e individuos para incrementar su visibilidad en el espacio urbano, y no epifenómenos de un sistema religioso destinado a legitimar la posición de los poderosos.

Published: November 2023

Gerek ülkeler arasında gerekse ülke sınırları içerisinde yer alan bölgeler arasında kalkınma farklılıklarının mevcudiyetini koruduğu herkesçe dile getirilen bir gerçektir. Gelişmiş ekonomiler de dâhil, bölgeler arası kalkınma farklılıkları tam olarak giderilememiştir. Bu nedenle, kalkınma kavramı halen güncelliğini korumakta ve merkezi yönetimlerin öncelikli meseleleri içinde yer almaktadır. Kalkınmaya etki eden faktörlerin somut bir şekilde ortaya konulması, uygulanacak politikalarının etkinliğini ve tutarlılığını artıracaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı firmaların kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk (KSS) faaliyetlerinin illerin kalkınması üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Bu kapsamda, TR52 ve TR71 bölgelerinde yer alan ve gelişmişlik düzeyi birbirinden farklı olan Ankara, Konya, Karaman, Aksaray ve Niğde il merkezlerinde yerleşik, mal üretimi yapan ve KOBİ niteliğinde olan firmaların KSS faaliyetleri saha araştırması ile ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen veriler çoklu lojistik regresyon modeli ile analiz edilerek firmaların KSS faaliyetleri ile bulundukları illerin gelişmişlik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki istatiksel olarak belirlenmiştir.

This study presents a SSVEP based BCI system, designed for dialing a phone number through EEG signals. Our SSVEP system leverages a tablet-based stimulator and OpenBCI Cyton board, employing Canonical Correlation Analysis for EEG signal classification. Tested on 7 participants, the system demonstrated a high accuracy rate of 98.1% in identifying the observed keys. The use of a tablet-based SSVEP stimulator was found to reduce visual fatigue compared to traditional LED stimulators. Despite its initial success, further validation with a larger cohort and in varied real-world conditions is required. This work signifies a promising advancement in utilizing BCIs in practical applications.

Manusia dalam melakukan proses pembelajaran cenderung menggunakan otak kiri untuk memecahkan sebuah masalah. Padahal otak kanan berperan lebih untuk mendorong daya kreativitas dan kemampuan berpikir kritis dalam menghadapai sebuah masalah. Salah satu metode untuk memicu kerja otak kanan ialah dengan metode visual thinking.Tujuan perancangan dengan menggunakan metode Visual Thinking ialah untuk merangsang otak kanan melahirkan ide-ide segar melalui pengembangan kreativitas, intuisi, dan imajinasi. Metode Visual Thinking dalam perancangan tata panggung teater juga bertujuan untuk mengembangkan salah satu jenis metode kreatif dalam perancangan sebuah karya seni. Metode Visual Thinking yang akan diterapkan menurut Bolton terdapat empat langkah yaitu looking (mengidentifikasi masalah), seeing (memahami masalah), imagining (mengeneralisasi masalah untuk menemukan solusinya), dan terakhir showing and telling (menjelaskan dan mengkomunikasikannya). Metode ini masih jarang atau bahkan belum digunakan dalam perancangan tata panggung teater sehingga topik dari perancangan ini layak untuk dilanjutkan. Hasil perancangan ini berupa data kualitatif dengan target luaran berupa publikasi ilmiah pada jurnal nasional terakreditasi.Kata kunci: visual thinking, tata panggung, teater

Plastic Pellets in the Sandy Sediment of Beaches on the Middle Coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Authors: Schneider Ingrid , Maffessoni Daiana
Published: November 2023

Purpose: Pellets are plastic granules used in the industry to manufacture many materials and can be lost to the environment throughout the production chain. This study evaluated the number of pellets on beaches, on the middle coast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, a region with low urban agglomeration, and few studies on this topic. The quantity found in relation to the distance from the port of Rio Grande was also evaluated.
 
Method: The collection of sandy sediment occurred in three seasons of the year and, for each beach, quadrants were sampled at the mark of the last high tide
 
Results and conclusion:  96.26% of the pellets were collected in spring, 3.74% in autumn, and none in summer. Storm events and large amounts of organic matter may explain the result in spring, while strong winds may have influenced the summer collection. The results found did not show a direct relationship with the distance from the Port, since there was no well-defined distribution pattern.
 
Research implications: It is essential to map the loss of pellets in the environment, including in sparsely urbanized areas. Pellets can be lost during transport at sea, where currents and winds can carry them to different regions. Therefore, control and management measures for losses of these materials are necessary.
 
Originality/value: The work is unprecedented and maps pollution by plastic pellets on beaches with little anthropogenic activity in Rio Grande do Sul. The results indicate that is important an integrate coastal management.
