Performance Analysis of Intelligent Computational Algorithms for Biomass Higher Heating Value Prediction
Authors: Dodo U.A. , Dodo M.A. , Shehu A.F. , Badamasi Y.A.
Published: February 2024

Higher heating value (HHV) is an essential parameter to consider when evaluating and choosing biomass substrates for combustion and  power generation. Traditionally, HHV is determined in the laboratory using an adiabatic oxygen bomb calorimeter. Meanwhile, this  approach is laborious and cost-intensive. Hence, it is essential to explore other viable options. In this study, two distinct artificial  intelligence-based techniques, namely, a support vector machine (SVM) and an artificial neural network (ANN) were employed to develop  proximate analysis-based biomass HHV prediction models. The input variables comprising ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon were  paired to form four separate inputs to the prediction models. The overall findings showed that both the ANN and the SVM tools can guarantee accurate prediction in all the input combinations. The optimal prediction performances were observed when fixed carbon and  volatile matter were paired as the input combination. This combination showed that the ANN outperformed the SVM, having presented  the least root mean squared error of 0.0008 and the highest correlation coefficient of 0.9274. This study, therefore, concluded that the  ANN is more preferred compared to SVM for biomass HHV prediction based on the proximate analysis.
A balanced approach to standard-essential patent disputes: from the perspective of the sustainability of technological resources
Authors: Zhang Liguo
Published: February 2024

Standard-essential patents (SEPs) are closely linked to technical standards and have the nature of public products. The combination of patents as private property rights with technical standards as public goods magnifies the exclusivity of patent rights, may hinder the application of technical standards and gives rise to a large number of legal disputes. Two solutions have been developed to alleviate this tension: a strong protection model that emphasizes the property rights nature of patents and a sharing model that emphasizes the public goods nature of technology standards. However, both options are detrimental to the efficiency of the allocation of technological resources and have led to conflicts in judicial decisions worldwide. To reconcile such conflicts, the courts should interpret the fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory principle flexibly according to the status of the parties to re-establish an equal relationship between SEP holders and technical standard implementers, thereby promoting the parties’ voluntary conclusion of patent licensing contracts. Effective measures include strengthening the obligation to negotiate licences between SEP holders and technical standard implementers and applying the principle of good faith to avoid ‘patent blackmail’ by patent holders and ‘reverse blackmail’ by technical standard implementers. Moreover, courts should be careful when deciding whether to adjudicate global licensing matters between parties to avoid judicial deadlock. These measures will ultimately contribute to the sustainability of technological resource creation and exploitation.
Numerical study of the influence of layers number and their orientation in a CFRP using improved ANN based on Enhanced Jaya
Authors: Oulad Brahim Abdelmoumin
Published: February 2024

The advancement of technology in the field of artificial intelligence has facilitated significant progress in various areas, particularly in optimizing the structural configuration of multilayer composites. This study's primary objective is to investigate how geometric parameters, such as fiber orientation and the number of layers influence the mechanical properties of these materials. To predict fracture toughness in bending tests, we employed a hybrid optimization technique (E-Jaya-ANN) and compared it with the Jaya-ANN method to assess the improved approach's accuracy. Furthermore, we developed a numerical model based on the Hashin damage criterion using ABAQUS software to anticipate the response of composite specimens (CFRP) when subjected to a bending load. We validated the reliability of the code results by comparing them with experimental data. Subsequently, we generated a series of numerical results, representing various practical scenarios, to serve as the foundation for training an artificial neural network (ANN). This enabled us to obtain an enhanced architecture for the laminate layers.

The Effects of Workplace Discrimination on Women in Education Leadership: A Case of Waterberg District in Limpopo Province
Authors: Madela Seanokeng Julia , Sepeng Percy , Ngobeni Elias Tsakane
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the effect of employment discrimination on female leaders in the educational sector, with a particular emphasis on South Africa's Limpopo Province. The goal was to investigate the impact of such prejudice at the stages of recruiting, selection, and progression to higher positions. The study included 100 female participants and used a convergent parallel research technique that included quantitative and qualitative methodologies. All participants filled out a structured questionnaire, and a group of ten was chosen for a focus group interview. Audio recording was used to aid with data collecting. This study's theoretical foundation is built on Feminist Theory, which holds that workplace discrimination against women in educational leadership arises from a gender power differential. For the questionnaire data, statistical techniques were used, and theme analysis was used for the interview data. The findings show that, although women are given interim leadership positions within the Limpopo Department of Education, their possibilities decline dramatically throughout official appointment procedures. As a result, the research argues for strict monitoring of workplace discrimination against women in educational leadership posts, as well as the implementation of applicable laws throughout the recruiting, selection, and appointment processes.
Determination of Mount Eruption Insurance Premiums in Indonesia Based on Collective Risk and Level of Risk Spread
Authors: Kalfin Kalfin , Sukono Sukono , Januaviani Trisha Magdalena Adelheid , Siregar Bakti
Published: February 2024

Volcano eruption insurance is an insurance product that provides financial protection to policy holders who experience losses due to volcanic eruptions. This insurance product is still rarely developed in Indonesia, even though this country is very vulnerable to natural disasters. Therefore, this research aims to carry out a simulation of determining volcanic eruption disaster insurance premiums based on collective risk and the level of risk distribution. The data used in this research is the frequency of events and economic losses due to volcanic eruptions. Event frequency and loss data are analyzed using a collective risk model. Apart from that, determining insurance premiums also takes into account loading factors and the level of risk distribution from volcanic eruption disaster data. From the results of the analysis, it was found that natural disaster insurance premiums had increased, along with an increase in the loading factor provided. In addition, insurance premium expenses are influenced by the collective risks faced by customers. The greater the collective risk faced, the greater the insurance premium that customers must bear. Based on the results of the estimates carried out, it is hoped that this research can provide an overview to the Indonesian government in estimating the Mount Meletus insurance scheme. Meanwhile, insurance companies can get an idea of determining insurance premiums according to conditions in the field.

Published: February 2024

This study seeks to determine the influence of moderating factors on the company's financial performance on the stock price in the consumer cyclical sector, such as current ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, return on equity, and earnings per share. The study's population consisted of industrial enterprises in the consumer cyclical sector sourced from the 2020–2022 Indonesia Stock Exchange website. Purposive sampling was used to acquire 31 firms for the study. Multiple regression and moderate regression analyses are data analysis procedures where Stata 17 software is used for data processing. Furthermore, this analysis assumes that the debt-to-equity ratio, return on equity, and current ratio affect stock prices. The debt-to-equity ratio, return on equity, and current ratio are all impacted by earnings per share. Stock prices might be impacted by it as well. Data analysis indicates that although the debt-to-equity and current ratios do not affect stock prices, the return on equity does. If profits per share rise, stock prices may be less impacted by debt-to-equity and current ratios. Earnings per share cannot moderate the Return on Equity on stock prices.

Petrophysical Properties Evaluation Using Well Logging of Jeribe Formation in Mansuriya Gas Field Diyala Governorate, Eastern Iraq
Authors: Al-Mahdawi Mohammed , Hussain Salah
Published: February 2024

Al-Mansuriya gas field is regarded as one of Iraq's most important gas fields because of its good economic gas reserves. The major gas reserves of the Mansuriya field are situated in the Jeribe Formation. The present study aims to determine the petrophysical properties of the Jeribe Formation in the Mansuriya gas field by using the interpretation of different well logs for the open wells MN-1, MN-2, MN-3, and MN-4. The Jeribe Formation was divided into several reservoir units depending on the final results of CPI computer processing interpretation using the Interactive Petrophysics program (Techlog). According to the results of the CPI, the Jeribe Formation in the Mansuriya gas field was divided into seven units, which are J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, and J7. Matrix definition (MID) and density-neutron cross plots indicate that the lithology of the Jeribe Formation consists of a large proportion of dolomite and limestone and a little anhydrite, also in the direction of the gas evident in the Jeribe Formation. The Gamma-ray log showed that the volume of the shale is very small in the Jeribe Formation, and the formation may be clean of shale content. The reason for this small reading is the presence of some radioactive materials in the rocks of formation. Through the readings of the RHOB and NPHI logs and the results of cutoff boundaries, we can conclude that units J1 and J6 represent non-reservoir units and can be considered a cap rock for the reservoir units, and the units J2, J3, J4, and J5 are the main reservoir units for Jeribe Formation according to CPI results and the results of high porosity in these units, as they are characterized by the porosity of up to 24% and water saturation of 40 to 60%, which makes them reservoirs of high quality. The Mn-4 well showed different results from the rest of the wells, and none of its units can be considered a reservoir due to the large water saturation volume.

Published: February 2024

This is the first time that radiological assessment achieved in the Baghdad International Airport (BIA) in Iraq. Twenty-three sites were sampled from upper 5 cm of the surface soil within the BIA to be analyzed for the radioactivity of natural radionuclides Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 and the artificial radionuclide, Cs-137 using gamma spectroscopy based on Hyper pure Germanium detector (HPGe). Ten samples out of the 23 samples were analyzed for U-238, U-235 using the Neutron Activation Analysis method. To determine the percentage of DU [DU (%)] which is calculated from the 235U/238U isotope ratio. The study showed that there is a possibility of slight contamination with depleted uranium in two sites out of the 23 sites that were examined. The average activities of Ra-226, Th-232, and K-40 in the study area are within the limits of world averages, while there are evidences that new feeding of Cs-137 in the region, reaches about 19 Bq/kg, from the new global fallout after Chernobyl accident. The measured and calculated absorbed doses in the study area were within international limits and no need for farther monitoring. Annual effective dose equivalent due to resuspension of Ra-226 is estimated to be 1.0E-10Sv, and this value is negligible compared with 1 mSv permissible value for public recommended by ICRP.

Published: February 2024

A regional seismic section was constructed from fourteen local seismic lines from different surveys crossing the central part of Iraq from west to east. The seismic lines’ surveys were performed during the period 1974–1990. The length of the regional seismic section is 662.5 km. The considered seismic lines are unified to the sea level datum. The quality of seismic lines is relatively poor in the western part of the regional seismic section, but it is of good quality in the central and eastern parts. Seven reflectors were identified along the regional seismic section, corresponding to ages from the Ordovician to the Miocene. The formations are Khabour (Mid-Ordovician), Akkas (Upper Silurian), Kurra Chine (Upper Triassic), Najmah (Upper Jurassic), Mauddud (Mid-Cretaceous), Shiranish (Upper Cretaceous) and Fatha (Lower Fars) (Mid-Miocene). The Two-way times for these seismic reflectors from the west to the east are 1691 – 4000 ms, 750-4000 ms, 0-4000 ms, 208-4000 ms, 206 -3310 ms, 205 -2700 ms, and 216-2500 ms for the seven formations; starting from the oldest formation (Khabour Formation to the youngest one (Fath Formation ), respectively. The top depth values of the considered formations were defined from west to east for each formation (0-4.189) km, (0.456-4.880) km, (0.708-5.936) km, (0.802-8.5) km, (0-8.977) km, (0.5-9) km, and (1.8-9) km from the oldest to the youngest formation, respectively. The horizon generally dips towards the east. Two sedimentary basins were identified, the first in the western part of Iraq within the Paleozoic formation, while the eastern basin was within the Cenozoic and Mesozoic formations. These two basins are separated by an uplift at the central part of the regional seismic section. This uplift region was confirmed by gravity and magnetic high anomaly. Many faults were detected along the regional seismic profile. Most of these faults extend from the deeper to the shallower formations.

Published: February 2024

Constructing roads in geologically unstable regions such as northern Morocco poses a major challenge. The Tizi Ouadrene sector, located in the Rif External Nappe of the Rif Belt, exemplifies a significant complexity in this issue, with a risk of landslides threatening the road embankments in this area. This study aims to characterize the frequent Cretaceous shales in the study area and analyze the landslides that have occurred on the road embankments cut into these shales. It examines the role of lithology, geometry, tectonics, human activity, and water in these landslides. The geological structure of slopes and their geometric configuration are crucial factors in determining the occurrence, distribution, and other characteristics of these landslides. Defects are controlled by the relative position of sedimentary and tectonic discontinuities, as well as the relative abundance of indurated shales compared to crushed ones. Crushed shales are susceptible to rotational slides, while the indurated ones are prone to planar and wedge sliding. The latter are mainly associated with bedding planes, particularly those oriented N65-80 with slopes facing south and SSE, as well as NW-SE and NE-SW-trending fractures. Hydrological, tectonic, and anthropogenic factors also contribute to the instability.

Published: February 2024

This paper describes a doctoral seminar in visual and arts-based inquiry (V/ABR) to champion the generativity of such approaches for advancing doctoral research. We first describe the social and institutional context of the course and its design to situate the projects and the need for creating institutional spaces to amplify creative inquiry approaches in doctoral education. Then, five researchers reflect on their research approaches, including comics, collaging, critical visual analysis, a virtual walkography, and photo-elicitation. The projects focused on contemporary issues including researcher identity, racial justice, mothering crises, and Christian summer camps, collectively underscoring the productivity of V/ABR inquiry for amplifying researchers’ imaginaries and processes of becoming. We underscore the necessity of exploring qualitative diversity in doctoral education to unsettle fixed inquiry approaches that Bailey (2018) calls “methodological taxidermy.” Collectively, we demonstrate the vitality of advancing doctoral research using creative methods in relational, socially responsive, and critical, visionary ways (Finley, 2003).

Giving awards is done to increase the morale and motivation of employees. The problem faced by PT Nikomas Gemilang regarding awarding is that it still uses the conventional method, namely in the form of a lottery, so it is considered ineffective and on target by employees who have high work motivation. Decision Support System (SPK) is a system that is used for problem-solving in decision-making, especially awarding at PT Nikomas Gemilang. Making decisions using this system will assist management in determining which employees are eligible to receive awards based on predetermined criteria and to avoid intervention. The method used is Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) which solves a problem based on calculations with calculation reference criteria namely attendance, performance, ethics, and discipline. Implementation of this system is expected to facilitate the process of awarding and assist management in making the right decisions and is expected to be able to provide motivation and increase work competition in the corporate environment. The Decision Support System was built using the PHP programming language, Laravel framework, MySQL database, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) design model, and the Waterfall methodology. The results of this study are expected to increase efficiency and accuracy in awarding and provide a form of transparency in awarding employees at PT Nikomas Gemilang to create justice for all company employees

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Few real-world studies have investigated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) involving non-vitamin-K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The interactions encompass drugs inducing or inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A4 and permeability glycoprotein. These agents potentially modulate the breakdown and elimination of NOACs. This study investigated the impact of DDIs on thromboembolism in this clinical scenario.

Method: Patients who had NVAF and were treated with NOACs were selected as the study cohort from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Cases were defined as patients hospitalised for a thromboembolic event and who underwent a relevant imaging study within 7 days before hospitalisa-tion or during hospitalisation. Each case was matched with up to 4 controls by using the incidence density sampling method. The concurrent use of a cytochrome P450 3A4/permeability glycoprotein inducer or inhibitor or both with NOACs was identified. The effects of these interactions on the risk of thromboembolic events were examined with univariate and multivariate conditional logistic regressions.

Results: The study cohort comprised 60,726 eligible patients. Among them, 1288 patients with a thromboembolic event and 5144 matched control patients were selected for analysis. The concurrent use of a cytochrome P450 3A4/permeability glycoprotein inducer resulted in a higher risk of thromboembolic events (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.004–1.51).

Conclusion: For patients with NVAF receiving NOACs, the concurrent use of cytochrome P450 3A4/ permeability glycoprotein inducers increases the risk of thromboembolic events.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impacts of the Defense Industry Development Act on the volatility of the defense industry as geopolitical risk is raised. Applying the smooth transition generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ST-GARCH) model for daily defense stocks, we demonstrate that the structure breaks in the volatility dynamics process of all defense stocks for Taiwan. The empirical findings show that most defense stocks started the adjustment process more than one year before the date of launch of Defense Industry Development Act except Magnate Technology Corporation (MTC) and China Ship Building Corporation Taiwan (CSBC). The model specification tests suggest two types of transition functions including U-shaped and Z-shaped for all defense stocks. The estimated parameters indicate that the volatilities of returns in defense stocks for Taiwan have inverted U-shaped and inverted Z-shaped patterns of structure breaks. The volatilities of defense enterprise stock return shift by the event of Defense Industry Development Act.

The purpose of this study was to review the application of situational leadership in Madrasah Lab School of Bunga Bangsa Islamic University Cirebon. The method used in this research is a case study. The results showed that the adaptive leadership style carried out by the head of the madrasah based on the principles of adaptive leadership which includes the application of context understanding, long-term thinking principles, the principle of commitment to sustainable change, and the principle of continuous learning has been done well. This can be seen from the aspect of understanding the context that the establishment of this school was due to the identification of the needs of local residents for the existence of an ibtidaiyah madrasa. The aspect of long-term thinking can be seen from the strategic plan made for the future development of madrasah. The aspect of sustainable commitment is assessed from the large number of teachers who are still teaching from the beginning of the establishment of the madrasah. Meanwhile, the continuous learning aspect has not been fully implemented because it still focuses on the development of students.Keywords: Situational leadership; Madrasah; Lab School.
Análise do excedente de reserva legal: propostas para reduzir o desmatamento no Brasil

Com a necessidade de aumentar a produção de alimentos para suprir a demanda global por calorias, algumas nações se destacam. O Brasil tem uma vantagem competitiva devido ao seu potencial produtivo e vasto território disponível para a produção agropecuária. No entanto, a conversão de florestas nativas em atividades agrícolas é uma das principais causas de perda de biodiversidade, especialmente nas regiões tropicais. Lidar com a degradação ambiental requer ações pró-ambientais combinadas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi simular uma redução nas conversões de florestas nativas utilizando o mecanismo de Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais (PSA) no Excedente de Reserva Legal (ERL) das macrorregiões brasileiras em 2030, com foco no bioma Cerrado e, mais especificamente, na região de fronteira agrícola conhecida como MATOPIBA. Utilizamos o modelo de Equilíbrio Geral Computável Estático, BREA, que inclui as macrorregiões brasileiras e a região do MATOPIBA em seu banco de dados. Foram desenvolvidos cinco cenários, com diferentes níveis de conversão de florestas nativas, e uma simulação específica para calcular o total de PSA necessário para tornar os produtores indiferentes em converter ou não seu ERL. Em todos os cenários, a simulação prevê a conversão de florestas nativas entre 6 e 12,5 milhões de hectares em todo o Brasil até 2030. A perda de bem-estar pode chegar a R$ 4,4 bilhões, dependendo das restrições impostas ao modelo. O maior impacto simulado no PIB brasileiro foi de 1,35%. As regiões mais afetadas pela conversão de florestas seriam o Norte, Centro-Oeste e a região do MATOPIBA. O bioma Cerrado (Centro-Oeste e MATOPIBA) apresentaria uma conversão florestal entre 1 e 3 milhões de hectares, dependendo da simulação. Ao calcular o PSA necessário para tornar os produtores de soja indiferentes em converter ou não seu ERL, foram simulados valores entre R$ 5.777,00 por hectare/ano para a região Sudeste e R$ 14.014,00 por hectare/ano para a região Sul. Na região do MATOPIBA, o valor do PSA simulado foi de R$ 6.830,00 por hectare/ano, aproximando-se da realidade da região. É importante ressaltar que os valores calculados são alternativas que os tomadores de decisão podem considerar como parâmetros para futuras políticas públicas. Propor aos produtores rurais a escolha de converter ou não seu ERL, mediante um valor mínimo, pode colocá-los em uma posição vantajosa e oferecer-lhes opções de escolha.

Purpose: The study sought to analyze the trends and implications of emerging markets and new destinations for the hospitality and tourism sector.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: Canada's hospitality and tourism sector is expanding into emerging markets and diversifying beyond traditional destinations. This shift towards sustainability and technology integration is improving the visitor experience and attracting eco-conscious travelers. Enhanced accessibility and economic benefits underscore the need for strategic collaboration to maximize opportunities while ensuring responsible tourism development.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Diffusion of innovation theory, Resource-based theory & Market segmentation theory may be used to anchor future studies in the trends and implications of emerging markets and new destinations for the hospitality and tourism sector. Hospitality businesses should tailor their offerings to cater to the unique needs and preferences of travelers in emerging destinations, while also ensuring sustainability and cultural sensitivity in their operations. Policymakers should prioritize the development of supportive regulatory frameworks and infrastructure to attract investment and foster tourism growth in emerging destinations.
