Geotechnical Properties on Residual Soil of Sedimentary Rock
Authors: Farah Wahida Mohd Latib  , Anuar Kasa  , Mohd Fairuz Bachok
Published: June 2023

The residual soil is one of the major soils in the peninsular region of Malaysia. Because of this, engineering activities can employ this kind of residual soil in the building industry, such as retaining walls and high-rise building. Yet, because it is structurally complicated and has substantial weathering in most locations, the residual soil often brings in heterogeneities, which can lead to the failure of a structure. Finding the value of the shear strength parameters as a geotechnical properties is the key to solving this problem, which may be done here. After the soil samples had been compacted, they were put through a series triaxial tests, namely Consolidated Drained (CD) and Consolidated Undrained (CU) tests. A total of eight soil samples, four for each test were used for this study. As a consequence of the tests that have been carried out, the value of the cohesion parameter, c', as recorded by the CD test is greater than that recorded by the CU test. On the other hand, the value of the friction angle, ϕ ', as recorded by the CU test is greater than that recorded by the CD test. In the meantime, with regard to the stress-strain behaviour, the brittle failure pattern was seen in each and every sample that was put through the CD test. The pattern that was seen in the results of the CU test was also seen in the results of the CD test. The output of this study makes it abundantly evident that the maximum values for pore water pressure, lateral stress, and axial strain would be significantly increased if the effective confining stress that was applied to the sample was increased to a higher value.

Published: June 2023

With the availability of countless choices of tools and technologies through computers and the internet, blended learning technology is further enriched by non-conventional powerful modes of online synchronous and asynchronous interactions between learners and instructors. The questionnaire was developed by using the web-based Google Forms platform and shared with architects and students of architecture by using WhatsApp and Gmail as the primary source of distribution. In light of the Council of Architecture’s Minimum Standards of Architectural Education Regulations 2020 Recommendations, All India Council for Technical Education’s Report, and Bloom’s Taxonomy, the research-based learning technology is found to be the most effective learning technology due to its active nature. Therefore, this fact was validated by obtaining the response regarding the attitude and understanding of all the stakeholders in architectural engineering viz. learners, teachers, and professionals towards research-based learning technology. All the respondents strongly supported the concept of introducing research-based learning technology in architecture education from the undergraduate degree level.

Authors: Siti Nur Shahida Ahamad  , Nur Hamizah Abdul Ghani
Published: June 2023

This study is about analysing the current practice of the personnel scheduling at a well-known fast-food restaurant, as the post-pandemic situation slightly change their operating system. Therefore, the personnel scheduling needs to be modified according to the real-time situation using the binary integer programming (BIP) model. Based on the observation made, the problem of the study is to modify the working schedule with a proper break time for each staff to give them a fair working time, keep the workstations occupied during their operating hours and to maintain the restaurant as a healthy workplace. Therefore, after a background study on the topic and data collection made from a fast-food restaurant done, a one-day schedule is prepared to determine the number of staffs working in a day and scheduled the staff’s break period. A new schedule is obtained that meets all constraint’s requirements by solving the model using Microsoft Excel Solver. The new schedule minimized the number of staffs working in a day to 11 staff as compared to 12 staff in the current schedule. In conclusion, the proposed mathematical model can serve a fast and accurate solution for minimizing the personnel size and helps each staff to have a reasonable working hour with sufficient break time.

Published: June 2023

Wireless and mobile communication systems are in continuous evolution every day. The fifth generation (5G) is the next major phase of the mobile telecommunication and wireless system which aims to improve Quality of Service (QoS) and integrate human-to-machine and machine-to-human communications. In 5G mobile networks, mobility and small coverage areas are the biggest challenges for mobile users. Mobile users may not have the time required to acquire network resources to transfer from one cell to another, resulting in a large number of handoff failures. In this paper, we propose a handoff scheme for the 5G mobile network to minimize the probability of handoff failures using Markovian queuing model. We use the ECC33 channel propagation model to calculate the received signal strength (RSS) of the different users to decide the handoff users. We evaluate system performance based on blocking probability, overall system delay, and overall system throughput. The results of the proposed system model give a better QoS in the system and significantly affect the system performance.
Educational Level Impact on Energy Consumption in Malaysia Office Building using Neural Network Method
Authors: Hairi Ponichan  , Azlin Mohd Azmi  , Ramlan Zailani
Published: June 2023

The level of education has had a considerable impact on energy usage. Office activity requires energy, and this one area is especially subject to changes in demand patterns. The understanding on this trend is applicable to office buildings which has found many benefits like cost saving and better productivity among workers who have access to higher education level. Neural networks are appealing in the field of prediction. The use of artificial neural network technology provides a benefit in reducing the energy consumption in office buildings. The neural network uses neural networks to predict based on capacity. The researchers used a neural network model to predict energy consumption based on data from more than 1,006 samples taken from 13 office building location in 150day periods. The educational level has significantly influence on the energy consumption of an office building. The result indicates that the Degree and above categories contribute higher usage of energy. This study sought to address the contradiction between previous research on educational level impact on energy consumption by examining the levels of educational attainment over time and calculating the impact on building energy consumption.
Examining the Realities of Child Sexual Abuse in Ghana
Authors: Kpalam Ebenezer Tetteh
Published: June 2023

Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is a global public health concern. It is considered a crime in most countries in the world. CSA has a devastating and long-term adverse effect on the child, family, community, and the nation. Child sexual abuse involves any kind of sexual activity to which children are subjected, especially by someone who is responsible for them or has power or control over them, and who they should be able to trust. The statistics of CSA are alarming and vary across countries. In Ghana, there is evidence that CSA is on the increase, despite several efforts by Governmental and Civil Society Organizations to address this menace. The paper undertakes a contextual analysis of the realities of CSA, with a special focus on socio-cultural, legal, and health perspectives to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the situation of CSA in Ghana. The paper concludes that an appropriate understanding of the complexities and realities of CSA could contribute to a stronger stakeholder collaboration for comprehensive and multi-sectorial intervention strategies to address the problem of CSA in Ghana.

Jalaluddin Rumi's Human Essence and His Comments on the Types
Authors: Hakima Yusupovna Salomova , Nodir Kurbonov
Published: June 2023

Jalaluddin Rumi explored man from all sides, his natural-material and spiritual-moral world. Its opposite and negative features, natural or hereditary and acquired qualities. With one word, one can call him the founder of the philosophy of man of the spiritual world. He distinguished all kinds of man, such as, man-sacred; half-animal man, half-angel; cannibal man; a person possessing one person and many faces; drop and sea; man is God's telescope, etc. Among the five scientific and spiritual heritages of Jalaluddin Rumi, we would not be mistaken if we say that three in particular - "Masnaviyi Manaviy", "Fihi mo Fihiy" and "Devoni Shamsi Tabrizi" are the rarest source of human philosophy. The main theme of all his works is man, human existence, his inner spiritual and spiritual world, its conflicts, harmony and disagreements, dreams, passion, love, pain, imperfection, and the ways to achieve perfection are covered with logical consistency. In this regard, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi's work "Majolisi Saba" - "Seven Meetings" is also important. As the name suggests, it is a work created from recording the sermons of seven meetings of Rumi. The core of the work is "drop" (man), "sea" (Allah) and "movement". In fact, from the prophet to the common people, from the genius to the doctor and teacher, from the old man to the baby, from the white person to the black person, from the king to the poor, everyone is like drops of Rumi. But the drops are different. The sea is God, the Creator. One of Rumi's greatest achievements is his indifference. If every person living on earth differs from the other in forms, in essence their needs, outlook, beliefs, desires, dreams are similar, they enrich each other. The most important thing is to accept a person as much as possible. He was able to show his positive and negative sides, his flaws and his achievements. He tries to show people the ways to open the eyes of the soul gently, without hurting their hearts and pride.
Magnetic Field Measurements of Low-mass Stars from High-resolution Near-infrared IGRINS Spectra
Authors: Han Eunkyu , López-Valdivia Ricardo , Mace Gregory N. , Jaffe Daniel T.
Published: June 2023

We present average magnetic field measurements derived from high-resolution near-infrared IGRINS spectra of a carefully selected sample of 28 M dwarfs. All 28 have reported magnetic field strengths in the literature. The main goal of this work is to investigate the accuracy, precision, and limitations of magnetic field measurements from IGRINS spectra. This investigation is critical to validating the robustness of our methods before we apply them to over 500 IGRINS-observed M dwarfs in the next paper of the series. We used the Zeeman broadening and Zeeman intensification methods to measure average magnetic fields. Our measurements are all consistent with the previous measurements to within ±1 kG, with an average offset of −0.17 kG for the broadening method and +0.19 kG for the intensification method. We find that the detection limit of IGRINS is ∼0.9 kG with the Zeeman broadening method, in accordance with the instrumental broadening limit of the spectrograph. With the Zeeman intensification method, we are able to detect down to ∼0.7 kG with a signal-to-noise ratio of 150 or greater. We find an advantage of using the intensification method over the broadening method, which is the ability to reliably measure the magnetic field strengths of stars that are cooler than 3100 K where the spectrum becomes dominated by molecular lines. Therefore, the intensification method is crucial to study stellar magnetism of late-M and brown dwarfs.
OrbitN: A Symplectic Integrator for Planetary Systems Dominated by a Central Mass—Insight into Long-term Solar System Chaos
Authors: Zeebe Richard E.
Published: June 2023

Reliable studies of the long-term dynamics of planetary systems require numerical integrators that are accurate and fast. The challenge is often formidable because the chaotic nature of many systems requires relative numerical error bounds at or close to machine precision (∼10−16, double-precision arithmetic); otherwise, numerical chaos may dominate over physical chaos. Currently, the speed/accuracy demands are usually only met by symplectic integrators. For example, the most up-to-date long-term astronomical solutions for the solar system in the past (widely used in, e.g., astrochronology and high-precision geological dating) have been obtained using symplectic integrators. However, the source codes of these integrators are unavailable. Here I present the symplectic integrator orbitN (lean version 1.0) with the primary goal of generating accurate and reproducible long-term orbital solutions for near-Keplerian planetary systems (here the solar system) with a dominant mass M
0. Among other features, orbitN-1.0 includes M
0’s quadrupole moment, a lunar contribution, and post-Newtonian corrections (1PN) due to M
0 (fast symplectic implementation). To reduce numerical round-off errors, Kahan compensated summation was implemented. I use orbitN to provide insight into the effect of various processes on the long-term chaos in the solar system. Notably, 1PN corrections have the opposite effect on chaoticity/stability on a 100 Myr versus Gyr timescale. For the current application, orbitN is about as fast as or faster (factor 1.15–2.6) than comparable integrators, depending on hardware.

Based on the recent advancements in numerical simulations of galaxy formation, we anticipate the achievement of realistic models of galaxies in the near future. Morphology is the most basic and fundamental property of galaxies, yet observations and simulations still use different methods to determine galaxy morphology, making it difficult to compare them. We hereby perform a test on the recent NewHorizon simulation, which has spatial and mass resolutions that are remarkably high for a large-volume simulation, to resolve the situation. We generate mock images for the simulated galaxies using SKIRT, which calculates complex radiative transfer processes in each galaxy. We measure morphological and kinematic indicators using photometric and spectroscopic methods following observers’ techniques. We also measure the kinematic disk-to-total ratios using the Gaussian mixture model and assume that they represent the true structural composition of galaxies. We found that spectroscopic indicators such as V/σ and λ
R closely trace the kinematic disk-to-total ratios. In contrast, photometric disk-to-total ratios based on the radial profile fitting method often fail to recover the true kinematic structure of galaxies, especially small ones. We provide translating equations between various morphological indicators.

The overall LF shape remains remarkably similar from z = 4 to 7, while the amplitude decreases substantially toward higher redshifts, with a clear indication of an accelerating decline at z ≥ 6. The estimated ionizing photon density, 1048.2±0.1 s−1 Mpc−3, is less than 1% of the critical rate to keep the intergalactic medium ionized at z = 7, and thus indicates that quasars are not a major contributor to cosmic reionization.
The Formal Model for the solitary bee Osmia bicornis L. agent‑based model
Authors: Ziółkowska Elżbieta , Bednarska Agnieszka , Laskowski Ryszard , Topping Christopher
Published: June 2023

Solitary bees provide an important ecological and agricultural service by pollinating both wild plants and crops, often more effectively than honey bees. In the context of worldwide pollinators' declines, it is important to better understand the functioning of populations under multiple stressors at larger spatial and temporal scales. Here we propose building a detailed, spatially-explicit agent-based model of one of the best-studied species of solitary bees, Osmia bicornis L. In this Formal Model, we review various aspects of O. bicornis biology and ecology in detail and provide descriptions of their planned implementations in the model. We also discuss the model gaps and limitations, as well as inclusions and exclusions, allowing a dialogue with the reviewers about the model's design.

The ALMaSS model of O. bicornis aims to provide a realistic and detailed representation of O. bicornis populations in space and time in European agricultural landscapes. The model will be a part of the Animal, Landscape and Man Simulation System (ALMaSS); thus will be able to utilise a highly detailed, dynamic ALMaSS landscape model. It will consider the behaviour of all bee life stages daily and use state transitions to allow each individual to decide their behaviour. The development of egg-to-pupa stages in the nest will be temperature-driven. Adult bees, after they emerge from the nest in spring, will interact with the environment. They will be able to search for suitable nesting locations, provision their brood cells with pollen and reproduce. Modelled females will balance offspring size and number following the optimal allocation theory, but local environmental factors will modify their actual parental investment decisions. The model will include the daily mortality rate for the egg-to-pupa stages, overwintering mortality, and background mortality outside the nest. We will also consider the risk of open-cell parasitism as increasing with the time the brood cell is open.

With the level of detail suggested, the model will be able to simulate population-level dynamics in response to multiple factors at the landscape scale over long periods. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has suggested O. bicornis as a model organism for non-Apis solitary bees in the pesticide risk assessment scheme. Therefore, we hope our model will be a first step in building future landscape risk assessments for solitary bees.

Published: June 2023

Blockchain technology offers substantial benefits to supply chains (SCs). Along with transparency and traceability and other undeniable advantages, blockchain technology enables smart contract integration. Blockchain and smart contracts are, however, not flawless and can create a new category of disputes. The recognition of these disputes by traditional legal institutions is questionable. This chapter presents the concept of blockchain arbitration that allows for smart contract and blockchain dispute settlement via a decentralized resolution platform. The chapter reveals that despite existing challenges, blockchain arbitration can enhance the resolution process in terms of flexibility, cost, and time reduction, increase trust among SC stakeholders, and boost overall SC performance.

The digitalization of supply chain business processes often exploits emerging technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), the internet of things (IoT), data analytics, cloud computing, and blockchain technology to reshape supply chain management. The IoT technology integrates various smart objects (or things) to form a network, share data among the connected objects, store data, and process data to support business applications. However, some of the IoT infrastructural components are a shortage of computational processing power and local data storing ability, and these components are very vulnerable to the privacy and security of collected data. This chapter presents an information system architecture consisting of IoT and blockchain technology to maintain data security and transparency and how this helps improve business operations.

Blockchain technology (BCT) is being actively discussed for application in business contexts to digitalize supply chains (SCs). The current nascent level of BCT adoption in businesses creates resistance for further scalability in the industry. This study explores real pilot cases and experiences of BCT pioneers from various continents and industries, revealing the intentions behind the adoption, feasible improvements, and challenges that need to be further addressed. Findings reveal the business incentives of decentralizing trust constituent and efficiency improvements of data sharing. However, the challenges remain in scaling the adoption to a broader level and guaranteeing the accurate input of data.
Emerging Issues in Gender and Leadership
Authors: Gregory Sheree
Published: June 2023

Diversity, equality, and inclusion in leadership are critical for innovation and Australia's future. Despite considerable changes to the position of women in public life in advanced economies since second wave feminism, the invisibility of women in leadership has persisted. The under-representation of women in senior leadership, including women from culturally diverse backgrounds, remains a major challenge. This chapter presents a qualitative study of succession planning in relation to gender in Australian universities. The author argues for a longer-term focus on diversity, equality, and inclusion in leadership, and non-traditional leadership, in succession planning, to negotiate the glass ceiling and move towards a more equitable future of work in Australian universities. The author discusses prioritising intersectional approaches and practices of inclusion in leadership succession planning and management, to reveal how barriers to career progression in the neoliberal university, for non-traditional leaders can be dismantled and more equitable futures of work can be reimagined.
The Basic Strategy of Leadership Landscape

Leadership comportment has a substantial influence on employee behavior, performance, and welfare. The existing theory and research on leadership performance has mainly focused on employee performance, but both terminologies have expanded a lot of magnitude in the present era of the business world. The leaders of the team construct and communicate a vision or an aim that they want the team to accomplish, and the leaders motivate the team to accomplish that goal by explaining the benefits of doing so. The leaders provide their team members with assistance and guidance so that they may make progress toward completing their duties. The present study explains in a theoretical but very interactive way how effective leadership can help boost the performance of employees and sequentially helps the organization recognize its quality employees and tap their efficiencies for the long term through employee retention. Previous research has discovered the influence of several factors on employee well-being to inform the practice to enhance workplace results for both employees and employers.
Dark Tourism and Human Rights
Authors: Korstanje Maximiliano Emanuel
Published: June 2023

Over the recent years, scholars have focused their attention on dark tourism as a newly emerging and global trend. Without any doubt, dark tourism remains a more-than-interesting object of study for social scientists and academia. At first glimpse, dark tourism exhibits a new morbid taste generated in post-disaster contexts, as well as environments of mass death and suffering. Paradoxically, dark consumption opens a much deeper question revolving around human rights. This chapter interrogates the intersection of dark consumption (as a type of commoditizing process) and human rights. As Zygmunt Bauman puts it, one of the paradoxes of memorizing the tragedy is that its roots are ultimately forgotten. In consonance with this, the authors hold the thesis that dark tourism enhances resiliency and local community, but at the same time, it generates a biased story of what should be memorized.
Facial pruritic skin rash in a Nigerian boy with atopic dermatitis

Published: June 2023

We present the case of a 4-year-old boy with annular, pruritic macules on the face, not responsive to the application of topical immunosuppressive therapy for atopic dermatitis. Clinically, annular, pruritic macules with cracked surface and crusted, raised borders, slowly enlarging were observed on the boy's cheeks. Dermatoscopy evidenced centrifugal extension and border hyperactivity, represented by multiple peripheral pustules, mainly follicular. At last, microscopy of skin scrapings, showing fungal hyphae, permitted the diagnosis of tinea incognita. We highlight the need for always suspecting tinea incognita in pruritic, annular macules, not responsive to immunosuppressants.

The development of flares or new-onset of immune-mediated dermatologic diseases, including psoriasis, has occurred with the worldwide spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic. We report the case of a 38-year-old woman who came to our department with a severe flare of plaque psoriasis four weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Her Psoriasis Area Severity Index was 25, and her Dermatology Life Quality Index was 18. Our initial decision was to prescribe acitretin, but the patients reported adverse events. For this reason, we started risankizumab with complete skin clearance after 16 weeks. The patient is still on treatment, and no adverse events have been reported to date.
Distribution and characteristics of urban nesting sites of sympatric swifts

Published: June 2023

Distribution and nest locations of Common and Pallid Swifts are compared in two towns located in the Mediterranean zone, Bastia in Corsica and Nice on the French Riviera. Our goal is to evaluate whether nesting site selection by swifts on urban settings differs between the two locations. First, we noted an avoidance in the distribution between the two swifts in both towns. Secondly, our results show that Common and Pallid Swifts use different nesting sites to breed in Bastia, whereas the same structures are used by the two species in Nice. Requirement of each species differs between the two localities, suggesting that nesting site use is more locality dependent than species dependent.

ABSTRACT

Background:

Gentamicin has been shown to cause vasodilation in preclinical studies. Hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) is a commonly observed congenital heart disorder in preterm neonates. Concomitant gentamicin theoretically shall delay the closure/result in nonclosure of ductus arteriosus (DA). Similarly, hsPDA can alter the pharmacokinetics of gentamicin and so trough gentamicin concentrations. We carried out the present study to evaluate the association between gentamicin use and closure of hsPDA (treated with acetaminophen) as well as the effect of hsPDA on trough concentrations.

Methods:

This study was a prospective, observational study that included 60 neonates diagnosed with hsPDA by echocardiography and 102 neonates without hsPDA. Demographic details, size of DA as per echocardiography at the end of treatment with acetaminophen, gentamicin-dosing regimen, and trough concentrations were collected. Standard definitions were adhered in classifying the gestational age, birth weights, and size of DA. The numerical values are reported in median (range).

Results:

Neonates with hsPDA had significantly lower daily doses of gentamicin [4.5 (2.5–10), 7 (3.2–13) mg; P < 0.001] but longer duration of therapy [8 (3–14), 5 (3–7) days; P < 0.001] than those without hsPDA in very preterm neonates. No significant differences were observed in the trough concentrations of gentamicin between the groups. No association was observed between gentamicin use and closure of DA. However, those with successful closure of DA received gentamicin for a longer duration [6 (3–10), 4 (3–14) days; P < 0.05] that was independent of acetaminophen duration and had received higher cumulative doses of gentamicin.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, we observed a significantly longer duration of gentamicin therapy in neonates with hsPDA compared to those without hsPDA. No significant differences were observed in the rates of closure of DA with concomitant gentamicin administration and gentamicin trough concentrations.

The present research work was carried out due to the problem of hydrolysis associated with monoazo reactive dyes. In the study a series of bifunctional azo reactive dyes based on aromatic diamine moeity were synthesized via cyanuration of various acid (H-acid, J-acid, Laurent acid, Tobias acid and Gamma acid and Condensing them with 4-nitroaniline acids, then coupling with tetrazotized solution of 4,4-diaminodiphenyl sulphone to obtain a series of bifunctional Dichloro-s-triazinyl (DCT) azo reactive dyes. The synthesised dyes were applied on wool fabric under typical exhaustion process and their dyeing properties were evaluated. The structures of the synthesised dyes were characterised and confirmed by melting point, UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, 1HNMR, MS. The percentage exhaustion and percentage fixation of the synthesised dyes on wool fabric was very good, which is an indication of proper diffusion and fixation onto the fabric. All the synthesised dyes gave well to excellent properties to washing, light and perspiration respectively.
