Published: February 2024

The growing of plants hydroponically is a soilless form of growing in modern day agriculture. It helps to make feed available for animals throughout the season since it is not affected by what is faced by field grown crops. The use of animal waste, that is, their faeces, in the growth of forage was compared with commercial hydroponics solutions as a way of looking for a reduction in the cost incurred in the purchase of commercial hydroponics solutions. The study evaluated the use of organic nutrient solutions (ONS) alongside a standard/commercial nutrient solution in growing crops hydroponically on the growth, dry matter yield, water use efficiency, and chemical composition of hydroponic maize fodder. The ONS used were formulated from the dried faeces of cattle, poultry, rabbits, and swine. The prepared organic nutrient solutions with the control were used in growing the maize seeds for 10 days, and growth, yield, and chemical composition were determined. Results show the highest (196 g) dry matter yield for maize hydroponic fodder irrigated with poultry ONS. Similarly, maize irrigated with poultry ONS was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in CP content, while it was not significantly different from maize irrigated with cattle, swine, and commercial solutions. A lower water use efficiency value (0.19 kg DM/m3) was recorded for maize irrigated with cattle ONS. According to the study, irrigating maize with different organic nutrient solutions produced maize fodder with a higher yield and a similar chemical composition as the commercial nutrient solution.
Automatic Crack Detection Using Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation Network and Mixed-Label Training Strategy
Authors: Zhang Shuyuan , Xu Hongli , Zhu Xiaoran , Xie Lipeng
Published: February 2024

Automatic crack detection in construction facilities is a challenging yet crucial task. However, existing deep learning (DL)-based semantic segmentation methods for this field are based on fully supervised learning models and pixel-level manual annotation, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel crack semantic segmentation network using weakly supervised approach and mixed-label training strategy. Firstly, an image patch-level classifier of crack is trained to generate a coarse localization map for automatic pseudo-labeling of cracks combined with a thresholding-based method. Then, we integrated the pseudo-annotated with manual-annotated samples with a ratio of 4:1 to train the crack segmentation network with a mixed-label training strategy, in which the manual labels were assigned with a higher weight value. The experimental data on two public datasets demonstrate that our proposed method achieves a comparable accuracy with the fully supervised methods, reducing over 65% of the manual annotation workload.
Language attitudes toward Global Englishes: Is Thai accented English our identity?
Authors: Charatwattananich Monparath , Proces Jeremy
Published: February 2024

This study examines language attitudes toward Global Englishes (GE) among employees of multinational companies in Thailand’s Chonburi and Rayong provinces. Sequential mixed-method research is applied. The survey questionnaires were first distributed and a total of 120 participants responded. The participants were employees in multinational companies and used English as their primary working language. The analysis of questionnaires revealed a prevailing inclination towards native speakerism while acknowledging the importance of GE in the global workplace. Participants demonstrated proficiency in communicating with both native and non-native English speakers. An in-depth interview approach is used with 10 informants for confirming or disconfirming the survey results. However, interviews highlight a complex attitude towards GE, particularly among high-ranking individuals who strongly adhere to standard English ideology. Nonetheless, a significant number of participants recommended introducing GE concepts to Thai students as a valuable step towards familiarizing them with diverse English varieties. This recognition of the need to prepare the next generation for a globalized world is encouraging. The prevalence of native speakerism underscores the urgency of addressing language attitudes and promoting linguistic inclusivity within the global workplace. By fostering on cultural awareness and embracing linguistic diversity, we can create a more inclusive environment that appreciates and values different English accents and expressions. This study highlights the ongoing importance of these efforts in promoting a comprehensive understanding of GE and nurturing a global mindset among individuals and institutions alike.

Published: February 2024

The problems of speaking mastery faced by EFL students in higher education are various. The frequency of making mistakes in completing specific tasks is because of poor communication skills. Students have minimum chances resulting lack of practice that affects their successful performance. Self-efficacy and emotional intelligence were determined to be two essential components to developing and improving learners’ speaking abilities. This study is purposed to investigate the correlation between self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and the achievement of students’ English speaking. This study used a quantitative correlational design. The data are gathered by using a self-efficacy scale expanded from the General Self-Efficacy Skill (GSE), emotional intelligence was measured with the emotional intelligence scale adapted from the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), while the speaking achievement was administered to 100 students in public speaking class. The students performed a seven-minute speech and scored based on the content, proficiency, and delivery method. The data on self-efficacy and emotional intelligence were analyzed by using multiple correlations and multiple regressions. The finding shows a significant correlation between self-efficacy and students’ speaking achievement (F=9.510; p=0.0030.05), while the effect size of self-efficacy on students’ speaking achievement is 0.102 or 10,2 %. However, there is no correlation between emotional intelligence and speaking achievement (F=2.861; p=0.0940.05). Due to the absence of a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and speaking achievement then this makes the effect size of the emotional intelligence on speaking achievement very small which is 3.3%. Then, the best model to describe students’ achievement is by using self-efficacy variables and eliminating emotional intelligence variables (t=3.084; Sig. 0.0030.05). This study contributes to all speaking teachers being able to reveal the students’ self-efficacy and emotional intelligence toward learning speaking.

Published: February 2024

The aim of this research is to discover, analyze and examine the practice/ implementation of legal protection for credit card holders and forms of consumer protection in resolving fraudulent transaction disputes.

The research method used in this research is normative juridical using a qualitative approach. Apart from that, a literature approach and a statutory approach are also used which also include a conceptual approach and a case approach.

Credit cards are a form of innovation in the banking business which is increasingly developing and banking transactions using credit cards are becoming more massive. However, if negligence or fraud occurs, the bank's position is very dominant which will of course prioritize the bank's own interests. Therefore, currently the position and interests of customers have not been properly protected.

The demand for banks to act professionally while protecting their credit card holders is increasing, thus encouraging banks to adjust their efforts to serve their customers, one of which is by creating innovations while remaining efficient. This is clearly seen in the agreement between the bank and the customer or the provisions regarding the use of bank services or products which are determined unilaterally by the bank, so that in such conditions if a problem arises later it cannot be resolved quickly with clear responsibilities. One example is the Indonesian Supreme Court Decision No.1527 K/Pdt/2015. regarding the Bank Mandiri Tbk case. VS Mr Sutrisno. Based on this decision, even though Mr. Sutrisno had obtained legal protection that had permanent legal force and fulfilled a sense of justice, this was done in approximately 3 (three) years, where previously Sutrisno as a credit card holder had been harmed by a Bank Mandiri credit card product that had never been he uses but has a number of obligations that must be paid.

In this study, a program was built to simulate the sudden and complete collapse of the Mosul and Badush Dams behavior towards this collapse and predict the level at which the water will balance in the two dams after the collapse, compared to different levels at the Mosul Dam before the collapse. Two mathematical models were built as inputs to this program. The first predicted the water level in the Mosul Dam reservoir in terms of its storage volume before the collapse, and the second predicted the water level in the Badush reservoir after the collapse, according to the level in the Mosul reservoir before the collapse. For each collapse scenario, the program was organized according to sequential steps summarized assuming the water level in the Badush Dam reservoir when the level stabilizes, and from it determining the water volume in Badush reservoir based on the geometric analysis of the reservoir, then the volume of water transferred from Mosul reservoir to Badush reservoir, and thus the volume of water inside Mosul reservoir before the collapse. From the first mathematical model, the level of the Mosul Dam reservoir was determined before the collapse. The second mathematical model determined the level of the Badush Dam reservoir after the collapse. The results showed that the program has high flexibility in predicting what will happen in the Badush Dam reservoir after the collapse based on the water level in the Mosul Dam reservoir before it collapses and that the limits of the program's work extend from the minimum to the maximum level in Mosul Dam at which the failure can occur. Also, the storage volume in Mosul Dam will be distributed to the two reservoirs after the failure until the level stabilizes. Badush Dam, at a level of 330.4 m (a.s.l), can expand the maximum flood wave resulting from the total and sudden collapse of Mosul Dam at its maximum level of 333 m (a.s.l).

Objective: To evaluate the possible association between periodontal disease and breast cancer in women. Methods: This is a systematic literature review combined with a meta-analysis. Five databases were searched, relevant published studies were retrieved and selected. The articles were evaluated and subsequently synthesized using the PRISMA methodology. Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to evaluate the association between PD and the risk of breast cancer. The articles selected for meta-analysis were separated into two groups, as follows: (a) studies that did not present a clinical dental examination; (b) studies that presented a clinical dental examination. Results: In studies that did not include a clinical dental examination, it was found that women without periodontal disease had a 0.85-fold reduced risk of developing breast cancer, while studies that included a clinical dental assessment suggested that women without PD have a 0.50-fold reduced risk of developing breast cancer. Final considerations: Studies that clinically evaluated PD through dental parameters showed a greater decrease in the number of patients with breast cancer and periodontal disease.
The role of theory in mitigating the ‘reproducibility crisis’
Authors: Marone Luis
Published: February 2024

The lack of reproducibility of scientific results is jeopardizing the trust in science. An effort to inform the dynamic, but non-arbitrary, nature of scientific evidence is required along with strengthening the reliability of published results. Concerns and actions aimed at testing and increasing the reproducibility of scientific conclusions are usually directed at increasing data validation through careful management of the data-curation process, paying attention to the empirical aspects of hypotheses testing. But important as they are, these aspects may be vulnerable to the perils of radical empiricism and therefore should be combined with more theoretical and conceptual tools. Pattern consistency and an understanding of the physiological, behavioral, or ecological mechanisms that cause patterns make scientific assertions more robust. Testing a priori hypotheses (e.g., about functional biological traits) with fresh (and redundant) evidence offers theoretical as well as empirical support for ecological research and may help strengthen the reliability of published results.

Method development in comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) is a challenging process. The interdependencies between the two dimensions and the possibility of incorporating complex gradient profiles, such as multi-segmented gradients or shifting gradients, make trial-and-error method development time-consuming and highly dependent on user experience. Retention modeling and Bayesian optimization (BO) have been proposed as solutions to mitigate these issues. However, both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses. On one hand, retention modeling depends on effective peak tracking and accurate retention time and width predictions, becoming increasingly challenging for complex samples and advanced gradient assemblies. On the other hand, Bayesian optimization may require many experiments when dealing with many adjustable parameters, as in LC×LC. Therefore, in this work, we investigate the use of multi-task Bayesian optimization (MTBO), a method that can combine information from both retention modeling and experimental measurements. The algorithm was first tested and compared with BO using a synthetic retention modeling test case, where it was shown that MTBO finds better optima with fewer method-development iterations than conventional BO. Next, the algorithm was tested on the optimization of a method for a pesticide sample and we found that the algorithm was able to improve upon the initial scanning experiments. Multi-task Bayesian optimization is a promising technique in situations where modeling retention is challenging, and the high number of adjustable parameters and/or limited optimization budget makes traditional Bayesian optimization impractical.
