Published: June 2022

This study aimed to identify the level of effectiveness of the Enterprises Resource Planning (ERP) in improving the educational process in higher education institutions in Yemen. The case study was carried out in the University of Science and Technology (UST). The study adopted the analytical descriptive method, using a questionnaire, which was distributed to the whole population (90 employees), who deal with the ERP system at the university, and who were selected by the complete census method. Only 74 questionnaires were returned and were subject to statistical analysis. Major findings revealed that there was a statistically significant correlation between the dimensions of the questionnaire and the overall effectiveness of the ERP system at the university. Therefore, this result indicates that there is a high degree of effectiveness of the ERP system in improving the educational process with a high agreement score on the dimensions of the questionnaire. It was found that the highest effectiveness degree was in the dimension of admission and registration support, followed by academic support and student affairs, and the lowest degree was in the dimension of technical support. Overall, the level of application of the ERP system at the university was high. Based on these findings, it was recommended that this system should be applied so as to cover all departments that do not use the ERP system, which would lead to effective and efficient performance of such departments.

Automatic Detection System for Vehicular Heatstroke Prevention
Authors: Al-Areqi Ahmed , Al-Marebi Ahmed
Published: June 2022

Many children and animals had died from Vehicular Heatstroke every year. According to the “Not Heatstroke organization,” 882 children have died due to pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke since 1998 in just in the US. Vehicle manufacturers have not given this tragic problem the needed attention despite the massive development of the technology of vehicles. Nowadays, the technology of vehicles has been improved by different types of systems such as Anti-Lock Brakes, Electronic Stability Control, Adaptive cruise control, Lane-departure warning system, and Self-parking which assist and protect the driver's life during the trip. In this paper, a comparison between this system and other vehicular heatstroke detection systems will be executed. An automatic vehicular heatstroke detection system will be designed based on an Infrared Array Sensor. This system will detect any child inside the vehicle by using the Infrared Array Sensor “Grid EYE” as soon as the driver leaves the vehicle. After that, the system will activate the light and horn of the vehicle as an alarm. And then, the system will send an SMS to the driver by GSM signal. Finally, the system will send a signal to turn the air condition on only in case there is no response from the driver.
Evaluating the Role of Governance in Boosting Human Capital to Shrink Income Inequality in Developing Countries
Authors: Hossain Tanbir
Published: June 2022

Most of the developing countries in the world are facing a well-known challenging factor-like income inequality that affects the issue of balanced growth and welfare. The core goal of this paper is to investigate whether the Human Capital Index (HCI) joined with Good Governance (GG) variables have a significant impact on reducing income inequality in upper middle income (UMI) and lower middle income (LMI) countries or not. The first point is to investigate the relationship between HCI and income inequality and the second one is to find out the joint effect (HCI and GG) on income inequality (Gini Coefficient). The author divides all the countries based on income levels like UMI and LMI countries according to WB. For the UMI, HCI has no significant positive impact on reducing income inequality. However, if HCI works combined with good governance indicators like (HCI*RL), (HCI*RQ), and (HCI*GE), these interacted variables do not have significant power to reduce income inequality in UMI countries. Contrarily, for LMI countries, HCI helps to diminish income inequality significantly. When citizens achieve technical and educational qualifications, it helps them earn more money and shrinks income inequality significantly. Moreover, when HCI joints with good governing variables like PS, RQ, and RL that help to reduce income inequality significantly in LMI countries. There are some significant differences between UMI and LMI in foreign investment, job opportunities, foreign investment, and macroeconomic conditions that generate income-gap. This analysis finds that LMI countries grab influential effect in reducing income inequality in their economy compared to UMI countries.

Published: June 2022

The current high energy consumption can cause scarcity as Indonesia's population growth has increased quite significantly. Alternative energy is needed to anticipate energy problems in the future. Solar energy is one of the options given the most significant potential for energy produced in Indonesia. This research aims to see the strategies that PLN can do to increase the use of Rooftop PV in Indonesia based on the results of the analysis that has been done. The approach to this research is a qualitative approach with the SWOT and FGD methods. Also, the data used are primary data from survey results on Rooftop PV users in Indonesia. The SWOT analysis results show that PLN is in quadrant I, which means it has an extreme market position. PT PLN has the potential to increase the use of Rooftop PV in Indonesia. Two strategic points can be carried out by PLN, namely, carrying out vertical integration and diversifying conglomerates. Also, the researcher has proposed several alternative strategies, namely the upstream (manufacturing) development plan, the downstream (consumer) development plan, and the internal development plan.
