5D BIM Implementation to Overcome Cost Management Issues in Upstream Oil and Gas Projects in Malaysia: A Review
Authors:   Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Ahmad Azura , Fathi Mohamad Syazli ,   Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Published: October 2024

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the upstream oil and gas industry has faced unprecedented challenges in terms of low prices. Given the volatility and uncertainty around oil prices, it is critical for the sector to exercise capital constraints and manage costs effectively to ensure its future success. In response to the difficulties with cost overruns, oil and gas operators have implemented various strategies and measures, such as cost reduction, project prioritisation, project delays and streamlining the supply chain and contracts. However, these approaches do not provide a sustainable or cost-effective solution in the long term. Previous research on project cost overruns has shown that internal factors, particularly project data integration, are the main cause of poor project performance and cost overruns. However, no approaches or technologies have been proposed to improve cost management or control cost overruns. This paper aims to review the features and functions of 5D BIM that could improve the integration of project data throughout the lifecycle and provide a solution for cost management in Malaysia's oil and gas upstream projects. The methodology adopted in this study ensures a rigorous and systematic approach in reviewing the literature on cost management issues, cost overruns and the role of 5D BIM. Consequently, BIM streamlines cost estimating, saves time by automating data entry and producing accurate estimates, increases productivity and promotes better collaboration within the project team.

Scholars have highlighted the pivotal role that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play in fostering economic sustainable development across nations. However, the SME sector has been significantly challenged by the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic and shifts in the global competitive landscape, resulting in decreased profits. This study explores the mediating role of innovation capacity in the relationship between strategic sensitivity, strategic response, and the performance of SMEs. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 405 participants and analyzed using Path Analysis - Structured Equation Modeling (PA-SEM). The findings confirm that strategic sensitivity significantly and positively affects SME performance and innovation capacity. Similarly, strategic response shows a positive and significant correlation with SME performance. Among the studied variables, innovation capacity has the most robust positive impact on SME performance. The research also indicates that innovation capacity serves as a partial mediator in the relationships between strategic sensitivity and SME performance, as well as between strategic response and SME performance. This implies that the beneficial effects of strategic sensitivity and strategic response on SME performance are partly due to their impact on innovation capacity. The study recommends that SMEs invest in research and development, foster creativity, and adopt new technologies as crucial strategies for achieving long-term success.

Authors:   Open University Malaysia, Henry Claraynce , Omar Siti Sarah ,   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia
Published: October 2024

The research examines remote work's impact on job performance in Sandakan's banking sector, involving 112 employees across four different branches. The objectives are to scrutinize the relationship between remote work factors and job performance, with a focus on identifying the most influential ones. The study utilizes surveys and stratified sampling to comprehend the influence of remote work on job performance. The data analysis encompasses descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and multiple regression. The findings reveal that both technostress (r = -0.380, p < 0.001) and work environment (r = -0.332, p < 0.001) negatively impact job performance, suggesting that technological challenges and the work environment have an adverse influence on performance. On the other hand, remote communication (r = 0.386, p < 0.001) shows a positive correlation with enhanced performance. However, the study does not find a significant correlation between work-life balance and job performance (r = -0.049, p > 0.605). Multiple regression analysis confirms the significance of technostress and remote communication, with corresponding β values of -0.199 (p = 0.043) and 0.581 (p < 0.001). The predictive models moderately accurately forecast outcomes, with R-squared values of 0.419 and 0.479 for remote communication and technostress. The findings underscore the importance of addressing technostress and enhancing remote communication for improving job performance. The study provides actionable insights for refining remote work setups, thereby benefiting employee outcomes.

Students need to be environmentally literate to understand the complex interactions between humans and the natural world and how human activity affects ecosystems. The importance of environmental literacy (EL) is growing, and without this understanding, students may have limited career options in sustainability, renewable energy, and conservation. Moreover, lacking EL, students can find it more difficult to contribute to creating eco-friendly technology and regulations. Hence, this study aims to explore the various dimensions of EL among university students in Oman. This study gathered a sample of 238 students from universities in Oman to investigate the multidimensionality of EL. Following that, this study has employed structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS 4.0) software to analyze the collected data. The result showed that the environmental knowledge attributes have a significant relationship with the actual participation in environmental activities. Likewise, the results also confirmed that Interest in environmental activities has a significant relationship with actual participation in environmental activities.

Subsidies are financial or non-financial aids or support given to an economic sector, individual or organization by their government to promote the economy and achieve specific policy objectives. This study assessed the use of subsidies for construction businesses in Nigeria with a view to revolutionize the country from oil-based economy to infrastructural-based economy. A structured questionnaire was administered to four hundred and four (404) construction business stakeholders, and three hundred and four (304) representing 75.25% were retrieved from the respondents. Findings revealed that buying and selling of construction materials with Mean Score (MS) of 3.97 is the most successful construction businesses in Nigeria. The major factors considered in rating construction business performance are profitability to the investor (MS=3.70), resource management and control (MS=3.68), and cost performance (MS=3.63). The study concluded that the establishment of construction related institutions (MS=3.97), enforcement of health, safety, and hazards prevention policies (MS=3.91), exchange rate moderation for construction business (MS=3.86), and implementation of the National Building Code (NBC) (MS=3.85) will grow the infrastructural economy. The study recommended subsidies for construction businesses in Nigeria to boost the infrastructural sectors and the economy.

Can Career Academies Work as a School Turnaround Strategy?
Authors: Kistler Hannah C. , Childs Joshua , Dougherty Shaun M.
Published: October 2024

Under the Every Student Succeeds Act, college and career readiness became the central focus of education policy in the United States. Career academies (CAs) are a popular way to support students in their postsecondary transitions, but little causal evidence exists about whether this model of schooling is effective in promoting learning and transition outcomes. We capitalize on the adoption of the CA model in a large school district that was under the threat of school turnaround and employ a generalized difference-in-differences approach to test whether adopting this model improved student outcomes. We find suggestive evidence that CA adoption improved graduation rates and that these effects were most likely concentrated among schools that had the lowest graduation rates at baseline.

The monograph presents the results of the analysis of literary sources on achievements in winter wheat breeding in Ukraine and worldwide, the main directions of breeding work with this crop, as well as the current state of breeding and the main tasks that breeding institutions should work on. The results of the achievements of the leading breeding institutions of Ukraine in the creation of winter wheat varieties using modern breeding methods are presented. The history of the development of breeding methods both in our country and abroad is outlined. New and existing methods of analysis and research methods are described. When using GGE-biplot and AMMI analysis, a comprehensive evaluation of genotypes for productivity and stability was carried out. With REML/BLUP analysis, genetic parameters and genotypic values were determined for a number of investigated traits. On the basis of the obtained data, breeding indices were calculated for a set of traits. The possibility of using spectral vegetation indices obtained from UAV (drone) in breeding process has been established. More accurate identification of genotypes by a set of traits is provided by the combined use of multivariate statistical methods, breeding indices and NDVI indicators. Statistical calculations of the results obtained during the planned research are presented. The expediency of using spectral vegetation indices obtained from UAVs in the breeding process has been established. More accurate identification of highly promising genotypes based on a set of traits is provided by the combined use of multivariate statistical methods, breeding indices with direct use of NDVI indicators. The REML/BLUP method, in combination with the multivariate AMMI and GGE-biplot methods with the graphical allocation of genotypes by the Z index, allows to determine promising breeding material based on a set of traits. The prospect of further research is to increase the accuracy of the assessment and selecting of potentially high-yielding and stable wheat lines in breeding programs when using remote sensing with the limitation of the use of traditional destructive methods.

Published: October 2024

The competence that must be possessed by Vocational School (VS) students is to be able to find business opportunities independently. Related to the subjects of art and culture, it is hoped that VS students have the motivation that can be carried out by the presence of performing arts in the form of performances that can be used as opportunities for entrepreneurship. Thus, VS students must have entrepreneurial motivation to have business opportunities in the arts and culture sector. One of the learning strategies that can be used is to use PBL. PBL can increase students' learning motivation and also facilitate students' problem-solving abilities. This study aimed to determine how the implementation of PBL in realizing performances and the influence of PBL on entrepreneurial motivation in art learning for VS students. The research method uses an experimental research method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Participants in this study were 37 students in one of the VS in the Indramayu district, and the study was conducted using a systematic sampling technique. The research instrument used an entrepreneurial motivation questionnaire. Data analysis techniques using statistical descriptions and Paired-Sample T-Test. This study concludes that PBL affects VS students' entrepreneurial motivation in art learning. PBL can motivate students to reflect on what they learn in an actual project and provide opportunities for students to think and be creative when realizing a project in the arts and culture. Students can understand that in the performance, various job descriptions can be used for business opportunities or jobs in arts and culture to conduct further research with more participants so that the results of this study can be more generalized.
Kur’an Çalışmalarını Dekolonize Etmek

Published: October 2024

Sömürgeciliğin mirası, Avro-Amerikan akademide Kur'an incelemelerini etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Müslüman toprakları artık doğrudan sömürgeleştirilmese de entelektüel sömürgecilik, İslam dünyasında bin yılı aşkın bir süredir gelişen analiz biçimlerinin aleyhine olacak ve hatta dışlanmasına yol açacak şekilde Avrupa-merkezci bilgi üretim sistemlerinin imtiyazlı hale getirilmesinde etkili olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu tür bir entelektüel hegemonya, çoğu zaman klasik İslam geleneği tarafından geliştirilen analitik araçların etkinliğini reddeden çok yönlü bir epistemolojik indirgemecilikle sonuçlanmaktadır. Avro-Amerikan analitik yöntemlerin farz edilen entelektüel üstünlüğü, Kur'an çalışmalarının kurucu ve kalıcı bir özelliği haline gelmiş ve alanın tüm yönlerini etkilemiştir. Bu durumun devamlılığı, bazı akademisyenlerin klasik İslam geleneğinin analitik araçlarını kullanmak bir yana, bunlarla karşılaşmasının bile önüne geçmekte ve uluslararası düzeyde Kur'an çalışmaları ile ilgilenen akademisyenler nezdinde daha geniş bir söylemin oluşmasının önünde engel teşkil etmektedir. Bilgiye ait sömürgeciliğin Kur'an çalışmalarında sebep olduğu engelleri kabul etmek, birçok analiz yönteminin dahil edildiği daha kapsayıcı yaklaşımlar geliştirmemize ve farklı entelektüel geçmişlerden gelen akademisyenlerin daha etkili bir diyaloga girmesine yardımcı olabilir.

Published: October 2024

Tropical cyclones (TC) can cause damage when they are on the land surface, but on the other hand TC contribute to ocean productivity through upwelling or downwelling when they pass through the ocean. Information of the location and timing of upwelling and downwelling is important for fishing - activities estimation. High chlorophyll-a concentrations and low sea surface temperatures are proxies for upwelling events in the ocean. This study aims to investigate the effects of the TC Marcus on the chlorophyll-a distribution in the Timor Sea using a combination of remotely sensed data from Aqua MODIS chlorophyll-a and ocean-atmosphere reanalysis outputs. The results showed that wind speed, sea surface temperature, salinity, and ocean currents were increased during the TC Marcus event. Spatial analysis reveals that the concentration of chlorophyll-a is high in the waters of the Timor Sea, at coordinates around 12°–13° S and 125°–129° E. High chlorophyll-a concentrations occurred before and after TC Marcus event, according to temporal analysis. The distribution of chlorophyll-a concentrations decreased on March 17–24, 2018, during the occurrence of the TC Marcus in the Timor Sea.
Components of Socioeconomic Status Differentially Predict Development of Cool Versus Hot Executive Function in Young Children
Authors: Demko Zachary , Hosch Alexis , Caskey Johanna , Longino Giovanni , Petersen Isaac T.
Published: October 2024

It is established that higher family socioeconomic status predicts the development of stronger child executive function, which has implications for important outcomes in adulthood. However, no prior studies have examined whether individual components of socioeconomic status independently predict children’s change in executive function. Moreover, research has distinguished between “hot” (affectively salient) and “cool” (affectively neutral) executive function. The present study examines the unique contributions of components of socioeconomic status in predicting change in children’s hot or cool executive function. Participants included a community sample of 231 children (109 girls) and their caregivers as part of a longitudinal study spanning ages 3 to 7.5 years. Children completed behavioral tasks and parents reported their income, occupational prestige, and educational attainment. Cross-lagged panel models examined how components of socioeconomic status independently predicted change in children’s hot versus cool executive function nine months later. We found support for a two-factor model of hot versus cool executive function in children. Parental education, but not parental occupational prestige or family income, positively predicted children’s change in cool executive function. No socioeconomic component predicted children’s hot executive function. Findings suggest that parental education may uniquely contribute to children’s development of cool executive function.
The Association Between Documents and Activities of Hospital Management with Patient Safety Incident Reporting: The 2019 Indonesia Health Facilities Research
Authors: Nasution Putri Citra Cinta Asyura , Ayuningtyas Dumilah
Published: October 2024

Patient safety incident (PSI) reporting is essential to identify underlying problems and improve safety, but PSI reporting in Indonesian hospitals is still low. This study examines factors that contribute to PSI reports. It employed a cross-sectional design and analyzed data from Indonesia's 2019 Health Facilities Research. Methods: According to the criteria, the sample consisted of 462 hospitals. We evaluate the data using the chi-square test. The independent variables were documents, including strategic plans and hospital bylaws; activities included implementing a quality control system, monitoring and evaluation, internal audits, service evaluation and quality control, and periodic meetings. Results: Even though most hospitals already have documents and carry out activities, reports regarding PSI are still lacking in the surveyed hospitals, with half not having any. In Indonesian hospitals, all variables were significantly associated with PSI reports. Hospitals with these documents and management activities, like strategic plans, internal audits, or evaluations, have more PSI reports. Conclusion: The number of PSI reports has increased due to changes in reporting culture, which may indicate a safer culture rather than necessarily an increasing risk. Adopt a comprehensive, data-driven strategy, concentrating on incident reporting and detection. Hospital management must sustainably monitor, assess, and evaluate to encourage PSI reporting.

Executive Functions (EFs) enable us to control attention and behaviour in pursuit of a goal. In this longitudinal study, 107 children with a family history of autism and/or ADHD (FH-autism/ADHD), and 24 children with no FH-autism/ADHD completed a battery of EF tasks (5 tasks at age 2 years, 7 tasks at age 3 years). Parents reported on their child’s autism- (Q-CHAT at age 2, SRS-2 at age 3), and ADHD-related traits (CBCL DSM-ADHD scale at both ages). The FH-autism/ADHD group showed lower scores on simple EFs (involving inhibiting a response, and holding in mind) at ages 2 and 3. Sub-group analyses indicated lower Executive Attention (top-down attentional control) scores for the FH-autism group aged 2, and lower Complex EF (involving selectively deploying responses, or updating information) scores for the FH-autism-and-ADHD group aged 3. Three-year-olds’ Simple EF factor scores were negatively associated with ADHD-related traits but not autism traits, whilst Complex EF factor scores were negatively associated with autism traits (before correcting for multiple comparisons). Toddlers with a family history of autism and/or ADHD may benefit from interventions to support simple EF development, whilst those already showing autistic traits may additionally benefit from support with more-complex EF skills.

Research, particularly biblical research, should be of interest not only to the academics but to professionals, church leaders, ministers and workers, theological institutions, and anyone who seeks true knowledge and wants to keep his/her knowledge fresh and up-to-date. Biblical Research is a purposeful, systematic, and spiritual epistemological inquiry into the truth to uncover the revealed hidden truth of God’s word as recorded in Scripture to establish and advance true wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Many people do not know that research is a divine directive. Hence, this paper aims to present new and interesting thoughts in research into the concern of Christian researchers and pracademics from a biblical frame of reference. To achieve this aim, the study discusses types of biblical designs and biblical research types embellished with copious biblical examples as a guide and framework to biblical research methodology.

The Bible opens with a theopneumagensial statement of declaration unequivocally in Genesis. God explicitly states the number of days He spent to complete the cosmic design and the method He employed to create the cosmos, clearly stated in the Bible. Biblical theory is a sub-stantiated explanation of the Word of God as established in the Bible to explain the world around us and the world beyond us (meta-world). It is a set of established biblical principles or laws to explain observable and non-observable phenomena, facts, or events on which Chris-tians based their practice. Thus, the pneumagenesial theory is a biblical theory that sets out to explain the reality of the cosmos (the universe), its origin, and mudus oparandi. The theory states unambiguously that everything in existence has its own spiritual metaphysical determinant that controls it. The main thrust of this paper is to develop a theory known as pneumagenesial theory to unveil the origin of the universe through a biblical lens as opposed to the big bang theory’s claim. The methodology adopted in this paper is solus primus scriptura re-search (SPSR) to give sufficient evidence. The study also aims to debunk the wide spread lies orchestrated by big bang theorists and establish facts through a biblical lens that God is the Creator of the universe, as espoused by pneumagenesial theory in this paper.

Retrogressive Thaw Slumps (RTS) and Active Layer Detachment Slides (ALD) are widespread thermal mass-wasting hillslope failures triggered by thawing permafrost. Despite increasing rates of these failures, knowledge about their pan-arctic spatial and temporal distribution remains limited. We present the Database of AI-detected Arctic RTS and ALD footprints (DARTS), the largest hillslope thermokarst database with over 43,000 individual features. which spans approximately 1.6 million km² for 2018 to 2023 and at least annual coverage in 2021 to 2023 for a ~900,000 km² region. DARTS is freely available in two processing levels: sub-annual and annually aggregated polygon footprints. The database was created with a fully automated workflow that leverages deep learning-based segmentation of PlanetScope multi-spectral imagery (3-5m spatial resolution) with minimum annual coverage. We validated DARTS using different datasets, achieving F1 scores ranging from 0 to 0.519, with more accurate results in RTS-rich areas. The DARTS database will be valuable for mapping, quantifying, and understanding hillslope thermokarst distribution and change over time across the circum-arctic permafrost region.
Indoor Air Quality System: A Design of Monitoring CO and CO2 Substances for Elderly Home Using IoT

Published: October 2024

The use of an IoT-based monitoring system for CO and CO2 gases in elderly homes is a necessary innovation for remotely monitoring air quality. This work was successful in establishing a remote monitoring system that can measure CO and CO2 gases utilizing IoT technology combined with Blynk software. The MQ-7 sensors detect CO gas, while the MQ-135 sensors detect CO2. Data from these sensors is delivered to a central server, which then sends it to the I2C 16X2 LCD panel and Blynk software, allowing data visualization via an internet connection. The study's findings indicate that this system can detect and monitor CO and CO2 gas levels with a high degree of precision. This device can also monitor air quality in real time using the Blynk software. As a result, users may accurately monitor air quality (CO and CO2 gases) in elderly homes.
Working Memory Prioritization Changes Bidirectional Interactions with Perceptual Inputs

Published: October 2024

Items stored in visual working memory often differ in priority. Typically, observers will shift their internal attention towards items that are relevant for impending behavior and away from those that may become relevant later. These distinct states of priority are theorized to influence bidirectional interactions between memoranda and new visual inputs by modulating their susceptibility to retroactive and proactive biases, respectively. However, prior research has produced limited and conflicting evidence on this topic due to reliance on inconsistent retrodictive cues (retro-cues) that incentivize memory prioritization. To address this, we used a double-serial retro-cue paradigm that incentivized the complete prioritization of one of two unfamiliar shape memoranda for use in a comparison with a perceptual probe before a second, independent cue instructed observers to report one of their two memories (Experiments 1-2) or the perceptual probe itself (Experiment 2). We found that observers reported robust retroactive and proactive biases, but that only retroactive biases were modulated by prioritization. Reports of prioritized memories were more precise and contained smaller attractive biases towards the probe than unprioritized memories, whereas probe reports were biased comparably towards each. These findings reveal an asymmetrical effect of prioritization on the reciprocal interactions between memory and perception.
Normative face recognition ability test scores vary across online participant pools

Online participant recruitment is a cornerstone of modern psychology research. While this offers clear benefits for studying individual differences in cognitive abilities, test performance can vary across lab-based and web-based settings. Here we assess the stability of normative test scores across popular online recruitment platforms and in-person testing, for three standard measures of face identity processing ability: the GFMT2, CFMT+, and MFMT. Participants recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) scored approximately 10 percentage points lower in all tests compared to those recruited through Prolific and university students tested in the lab. Applying stricter exclusion criteria based on attention checks resulted in notably higher exclusion rates for the MTurk group (~62%) compared to the Prolific group (~22%), yet even after exclusion, some test scores remained lower for MTurk participants. Given that the GFMT2 subtests were developed using MTurk participants, we provide updated normative scores for all subtests (GFMT2-Short, GFMT2-Low, GFMT2-High) and further recommendations for their use. We also confirm the robust psychometric properties of the GFMT2-Short and GFMT2-High, demonstrating strong test-retest reliability, convergent validity with other established tests, and high diagnostic value in identifying super-recognisers. The GFMT2 subtests are freely available for use in both online and in-person research via www.gfmt2.org.
Convex Hull Applications to Likert Scale Psychometrics
Authors: Guenole Nigel
Published: October 2024

We present a way convex hulls can be applied to Likert scale response data for recovery of the familiar sum score from Classical Test Theory (CTT). An illustration with real data showed the recovered correlation between the convex hull score and the CTT sum score was .96. We discuss implications for measuring latent constructs using artificial intelligence transformers and natural language.
