Biometric Enabled Remote Voting System for Senior Citizens
Authors: K Dr. Aparna
Published: August 2023

- In developing countries, democracy plays a crucial role, but conventional voting systems often pose challenges due to resource and manpower consumption, potential illegal activities, and lack of transparency. To address these issues, a new confidential E-Voting system is proposed, incorporating facial recognition technology for secure and efficient voting. This system aims to provide an inclusive and accessible solution, especially for senior citizens who face difficulties with traditional voting methods due to mobility constraints. The online voting platform offers a user-friendly web interface and secure authentication using facial recognition algorithms. Seniors can conveniently vote remotely through their preferred devices, ensuring precise identification and preventing fraud. The system's implementation involved modern facial recognition technology, emphasizing usability and security. Testing and validation confirmed its effectiveness, reduced unauthorized access risks, and received positive user feedback regarding simplicity and accessibility. By incorporating facial recognition, this online voting system offers increased convenience, accessibility, and cost-efficiency, promoting inclusivity for seniors regardless of their location or mobility. The study contributes to the field of accessible voting technology and paves the way for future improvements in online voting systems catering to diverse demographic groups. Key Words: Online voting, Senior citizens, facial recognition, candidates, and voters

A Systematic Literature Analysis on the Fake Identification
Authors: B K Nirupama
Published: August 2023

Abstract- Rapid progress in AI, machine learning, and deep learning over the last few decades has resulted in new methodologies and tools for altering multimedia. Though the technology has generally been utilized for respectable causes such as entertainment and education, rogue people have also used it for illegal or evil purposes. High-quality and realistic fake movies, photos, or audios, for example, have been generated to disseminate disinformation and propaganda, incite political division and hatred, or even harass and blackmail people. Deepfake is a term that refers to modified, high-quality, realistic videos. To address the issues posed by Deepfake, many ways have been discussed in the literature. In this study, we undertake a systematic literature review (SLR) to offer an updated overview of the research efforts in Deepfake detection, summarizing 112 relevant papers from 2018 to 2020 that provided a range of techniques. We classify them into four categories: deep learning-based approaches, traditional machine learning-based methods, statistical techniques, and blockchain-based techniques. We also compare the detection capabilities of the various algorithms across different datasets and find that deep learning-based methods outperform other methods in Deepfake detection. Keyword: Deepfake detection, video or image manipulation, digital media forensics, systematic literature review.
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON GEO-POLYMER CONCRETE INCORPORATING GGBS (GROUND GRANULATED BLAST FURNANCE SLAG) AND METAKAOLIN
Authors: Avinash Sivapuram Sai
Published: August 2023

The major problem the world is facing today is the environmental pollution. In the construction industry mainly the production of Portland cement will causes the emission of pollutants results in environmental pollution. We can reduce the pollution effect on environment, by increasing the usage of industrial by-products in our construction industry. Geo- polymer concrete is such a one and in the present study, to produce the geo-polymer concrete the Portland cement is fully replaced with GGBS (Ground granulated blast furnace slag) and Metakaolin and alkaline liquids are used for the binding of materials. The alkaline liquids used in this study for the polymerization are the solutions of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2Sio3) of A53 which consists of SiO2 = 29.4%, Na2O = 14.7%, and water = 55.9% by mass is used. 10Molar Sodium hydroxide is taken for the preparation of different mixes by varying the percentages of GGBS (Ground granulated blast furnace slag) and Metakaolin. The cube specimens are taken of size 150mm x 150mm x 150mm for compression test. The curing was done directly by placing the specimens to direct sunlight. The geo- polymer concrete specimens are tested for their compressive strength at the age of 3, 7 and 28days and compared with conventional concrete. For this study M30 concrete mix was used for experimental work. The result shows that there is an increase in the strength of Geopolymer concrete up to 40%GGBS content and then it is decreasing. Therefore it is preferable to use 40%GGBS with Metakaolin to get high strength. Metakaolin and GGBS can be used as a replacement material for cement gives an excellent result in strength aspect and quality aspect since it is better than the control concrete. Key Words: Geopolymer concrete, GGBS, Metakaolin, Alkaline solutions, curing, compressive strength.

The development of technology and information that is increasingly advanced at this time is still not fully understood by the community, especially among rural communities. This is indicated by the lack of community creativity in the abundance of cassava food products, where they do not realize the potential that can be created from these food products. Cassava food products are generally food products that are only processed into monotonous products such as tape, jemblem, opaque cassava, and fried cassava. So that people feel bored with the monotonous variety of processed cassava, but on the contrary if it is processed into a variety of processed cassava properly, it will have a positive impact on products that have high selling power. The expected goal of this service activity is to educate the community by making local potentials that have not been explored can be optimized, especially those that can have an impact on improving the welfare of farmers and farm workers. The implementation method is by identifying potentials and problems, planning training, socializing training, and implementing training. This activity was attended by PKK women and housewives from Sekidang Village, Sambeng District, Lamongan Regency. The results of this activity are increasing creativity and new innovations to the community, also making people aware that we can process staple foods that have high economic value and in the end can help the economy and improve the quality of life of rural communities

The triglyceride-glucose index is a newly discovered parameter that indicates insulin resistance. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose index and triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein ratio with glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study was performed retrospectively in 296 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients were divided into two equal groups according to their HbA1c levels as having good glycemic control (HbA1c 7 and below) and poor glycemic control (HbA1c above 7). Age, gender, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, total cholesterol, serum triglyceride level, serum HDL level, serum LDL level, riglyceride-glucose index, and triglyceride/HDL ratio were compared between the groups. Fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride, HDL, triglyceride-glucose index, and triglyceride/HDL ratio wassignificantly different between patient groups with good and poor blood glucose regulation (p<0.05). Patients with poor glycemic control had lower fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, triglyceride-glucose index, and HDL values compared to patients with high triglyceride/HDL ratio and good glycemic control. There was no difference between the groups in terms of other variables (p>0.05). Triglyceride-glucose index and triglyceride/HDL ratio may be indicators of poor glycemic control in diabetic individuals. These indices are cheaper, universal, and easy-to-measure parameters compared to HbA1c and can be used to predict glycemic regulation.

This study aimed to determine if: 1) C-reactive protein (CRP) level correlated with PTSD symptom severity as measured by PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5), and 2) ketone supplement reduced PTSD symptoms. Twenty participants with PTSD were randomly assigned to a ketone supplementation or placebo group and evaluated for 6-weeks for PTSD symptom severity and CRP levels. The Spearman Rank correlation between PCL-5 and CRP was positive, but not statistically significant. Mixed models on the ranks of the data were used to examine the difference in PCL-5 and CRP between ketone and control groups over time. Median PCL-5 at the pre-test was higher than at the post-test in the ketone group but not in the control. The reduction of PCL-5 medians between ketone and control groups at the post-test was not different. The median pre-test CRP was not different from than post-test in the ketone group or control group. This pilot study did not find a correlation between CRP levels and PTSD symptom severity but was limited by a lack of CRP data collection due to the loss of follow-up. PTSD symptom severity was not altered by 6 weeks of chronic ketone salt supplementation compared to the control group but should be examined in a larger sample size for further verification.

Introduction: Social responsibility and, is an indicator that is important in the epidemic of diseases with high prevalence and death rates. The current study aims at determining the relationship between social responsibility and COVID-19 in the population covered by health centers in Iran. Methods: 500 people participated in this descriptive-analytical study. The data was collected using a researcher-made social responsibility questionnaire in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in three areas general, individual, and social responsibility. The quantitative content validity method was used to measure the validity of the questionnaire and Cronbach's alpha calculation method was used to measure its reliability. The data were analyzed using SPSS21 software. Findings: Among the participants, 4.32% of them had a history of covid-19, and the history of complications was more in men (51.9%) and the mean social responsibility score of women was higher (P<0.001). The average responsibility score was higher in people without a history of Covid-19 than in people with a history of Covid-19 (P=0.006). Conclusion: Individuals with higher social responsibility observed more health protocols and had lower rates of covid-19 infection among them. Therefore, in the design of educational interventions, planning should be done to increase people's sense of social responsibility.

The Influence of Virtual Reality on the Autonomic Nervous System
Authors: Lebamovski Penio
Published: August 2023

This article presents a new way to research the autonomic nervous system (ANS), primarily for people who cannot undergo physical exercise due to health reasons. The main idea is to determine heart rate variability only through the ANS, which includes sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. The proposed approach is related to using a Holter device to record the intervals between heartbeats and a 3D virtual reality device by applying a virtual helmet (Photontree Pro 3D). A spectral method was used for heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. During heavy physical work or sports (running), the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic nervous system) is activated, which decreases the HRV. Similar results are obtained when simulating a stressful situation through a 3D game. A 3D game was developed using the Java programming language (Java3D) for the conducted experiments. The article shows the results of the comparative analysis of two types of recordings: at rest and during a 3D game (virtual reality). From the obtained results, it can be seen that in a simulated stressful situation, the ANS changes, and from there, the HRV also changes.

Applying management by objective as an organizational development intervention for improving employee productivity, job satisfaction, performance, and customer satisfaction: A case study of a company in Thailand
Authors: Fan Ting Ting
Published: August 2023

Purpose: The study applied the Management by Objectives (MBO) method for organizational development intervention (ODI) for enhancing employee productivity, job satisfaction, performance, and customer satisfaction.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A total of 33 people were involved under the tools of observations, interviews, and primary data analysis from employees, suppliers, and customers. This study employed qualitative methodologies, specifically open-ended interview questions, to guide the approaches leveraged during pre-ODI, diagnosis, and post-intervention.

Findings: Based on the findings, MBO is critical in improving internal circumstances at focal organization, which helped to increase employee productivity, job satisfaction, performance, and customer satisfaction and build more alignment within the organization.

Conclusion: The organization failed to engage its employees successfully as a result of a lacking MBO process coupled with ineffective employee involvement. This led to poorer performance and lower productivity among employees, as well as decreased job satisfaction.

Research Limitations/Implications: The current study was conducted by the CEO, and the limitations arising are that employees may not be able to answer the questions with honesty about their prospects.

Practical Implications: The research has offered a vital understanding of MBO as an intervention tool and highlighted how companies in similar sectors could embrace the practice of MBO to improve employee productivity, job satisfaction, performance, and customer satisfaction, which will benefit the industry.

Contribution to Literature: The study lied in the ability of MBO in the home shopping industry, as it affected the performance of employees, which was critical to improving organizational outcomes. All of the above contributed to the uniqueness of this study.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of anime on the prevalence of Japanese popular culture among Art and Design students.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employed a questionnaire-based quantitative survey of 186 college students enrolled in arts and design programmes at three higher education institutions. Five Likert-scale questionnaires were utilised to collect the data, which was subsequently analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).

Findings: The majority of respondents had rather limited time to watch anime. This is due to the time constraints for completing their tasks and projects. That was proven by the low average viewing rate of anime among respondents. The findings showed only 39 respondents watched anime for more than 6 hours and above, while the majority of 147 others, or 79%, watched anime for 5 hours and below in a week. Nevertheless, the influence of Japanese popular culture still has a significant impact on this study, even at low and moderate levels.

Conclusion: This study found that anime has managed to spread the influence of Japanese popular culture among respondents despite being weak and moderate. This result was also due to the low frequency of watching anime. The data may be different if the average frequency of watching anime is high.

Research Limitations: This study is limited to art and design students only. For future studies, it is recommended that studies be conducted on other majors to find the difference in results.

Contribution to Literature: This study may add to the literature of relatively understudied anime-related studies, especially in Malaysia.

Authors: Nasution Rissa Hurulaini Ramadhani
Published: August 2023

Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs) banyak dikenakan oleh negara tujuan utama ekspor. Kebijakan NTMs sebagian besar diterapkan dalam bentuk Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) dan Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT). Komoditas Pulp dan Kertas merupakan potensi ekspor Indonesia yang menghadapi kebijakan NTMs dari negara tujuan utama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh NTMs terhadap ekspor pulp dan kertas Indonesia di negara tujuan utama. NTMs diproksikan menggunakan variabel coverage ratio SPS dan coverage ratio TBT. Pengaruh NTMs terhadap ekspor pulp dan kertas Indonesia diestimasi dengan model gravitasi data panel yang berasal dari data perdagangan ekspor pulp dan kertas bilateral antara Indonesia dengan mitra dagang utamanya pada periode 2005-2019. Model gravitasi diestimasi dengan model fixed effects, Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood, dan Hausman Taylor. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan TBT dan SPS negara tujuan memberikan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap ekspor pulp Indonesia. Tetapi kebijakan SPS dan TBT negara tujuan memberikan pengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap ekspor kertas Indonesia.

Published: August 2023

Hingga kini ada banyak fungsi otak yang belum tergali dan dipahami oleh masyarakat selain sebagai alat untuk berpikir dan pengendali seluruh kinerja sistem-sistem organ lainnya. Neuroscience atau ilmu yang mempelajari otak melalui pendekatan nonmedis bahkan meyakini adanya Kecerdasan Biofilia (mencintai kehidupan) yang dapat membawa kesenangan dan kegembiraan dalam hidup Anda. Puncak dari semua ini adalah ‘penyatuan’ antara diri manusia dengan alam dan Tuhan. Anda akan mendapatkan penjelasan yang sangat inspiratif, menggugah, dan barangkali tak disangka-sangka tentang bagaimana otak mampu merepresentasikan hubungan antara manusia-alam-Tuhan. Neuroscience for life merupakan ilmu yang belum banyak dikembangkan di Indonesia sehingga keberadaan buku ini bagai oase di tengah kegersangan informasi tentang peranan otak sebagai aktor utama dalam berpikir, merasa, dan keimanan kepada Sang Pencipta. Dengan demikian, buku ini sangat relevan dibaca oleh siapa saja, khususnya bagi Anda yang ingin membangun kesadaran bahwa interkoneksi Tuhan, manusia, dan alam adalah hal yang patut mendapat perhatian serius untuk mewujudkan kehidupan masa depan yang lebih baik.
