Abstract: The research on the early arrival of the Muslim community in Tomohon Javanese Village (Kampung Jawa Tomohon) has its own story, unlike the Muslim community in Kampung Jawa Tondano Minahasa, which was pioneered by Kiyai Mojo and his followers in 1829. In the Tomohon area, Islam was allegedly introduced by several people from the sultanate of Banten. This research aims to investigate how the early arrival of Banten Muslims introduced Islam in Tomohon. This research uncovered the story of who and how the Banten Muslims first arrived. Method of research using observation, document study and in-depth interviews with key informants. This research found that Tubagus Buang was a pioneer also as the leader of the first group of Banten Muslims to arrive in Tomohon Minahasa. He was a mysterious figure. Tubagus Buang's grave is still believed by the residents of Sarongsong Javanese village to be in their area, namely Kalapa Empat. In the Sarongsong District they settled in the Kayu Payung area. For a long time in the area they chose to procreate through marriage with Minahasa women. In addition, the typical Islamic traditions in Tomohon Javanese Village come from the tariqat tradition inherited from Banten, such as the Lebaran Ketupat celebration and Rudat art.

Published: January 2024

The need for participants’ performance assessments in academia and industry has been a growing concern. It has attendance, among other metrics, is a key factor in engendering a holistic approach to decision-making. For institutions or organizations where managing people is an important yet challenging task, attendance tracking and management could be employed to improve this seemingly time-consuming process while keeping an accurate attendance record. The manual/quasi-analog approach of taking attendance in some institutions could be unreliable and inefficient, leading to inaccurate computation of attendance rates and data loss. This work, therefore, proposes a system that employs embedded technology and a biometric/ web-based application to enhance attendance management. The hardware encompasses the integration of an ESP8266 NodeMCU and the biometric AS608 fingerprint sensor interfaced with the database for which the front-end and back-end integration was through the React framework. The system uses a web application that displays the attendance results and scheduled course data from its database, provides feedback to lecturers on which student missed classes and calculates a student’s average attendance for the semester. By implementing this system, the accuracy of student attendance is expected to experience an appreciable improvement, eliminate proxy signing, provide a more secure alternative for attendance recording, curtail tardiness to classes, and ultimately improve student productivity on execution.

Published: January 2024

Universities are among spaces where it's important to ensure thermal comfort in indoor spaces, improving the occupants' well-being and productivity. The problem of the research was to study appropriate glazing systems for the spaces of the University of Baghdad because glazing systems are one of the most important elements of the indoor environments, and it has a major impact on the thermal performance of buildings. Glass is one of the most seasoned materials that are most utilized in the design. Since it is a diaphanous material, it allows sunlight to enter the building, increasing the space's temperature, cooling loads, and energy consumption in summer. The research followed the experimental method by studying and testing(conventional, advanced, and photovoltaic glazing)by Revit and Onyx Solar analysis in the Architectural Department classes to find the appropriate type of glazing in the spaces of hot, dry areas. The results showed that advanced glazing is the best by reducing the cooling loads andincreasingthermal performance quality. Photovoltaic glazing showed its efficiency in filling part of the electrical energy needs within the spaces of the Architectural department.

Authors: Hassan Buraq Abed Ruda , Dawood Faten Abed Ali
Published: January 2024

Gender classification is a critical task in computer vision. This task holds substantial importance in various domains, including surveillance, marketing, and human-computer interaction. In this work, the face gender classification model proposed consists of three main phases: the first phase involves applying the Viola-Jones algorithm to detect facial images, which includes four steps: 1) Haar-like features, 2) Integral Image, 3) Adaboost Learning, and 4) Cascade Classifier. In the second phase, four pre-processing operations are employed, namely cropping, resizing, converting the image from(RGB) Color Space to (LAB) color space, and enhancing the images using (HE, CLAHE). The final phase involves utilizing Transfer learning, a powerful deep learning technique that can be effectively employed to Face gender classification using the Alex-Net architecture. The performance evaluation of the proposed gender classification model encompassed three datasets: the LFW dataset, which contained 1,200 facial images. The Faces94 dataset contained 400 facial images, and the family dataset had 400. The Transfer Learning with the Alex-Net model achieved an accuracy of 98.77% on the LFW dataset.
Furthermore, the model attained an accuracy rate of 100% on both the Faces94 and family datasets. Thus, the proposed system emphasizes the significance of employing pre-processing techniques and transfer learning with the Alex-Net model. These methods contribute to more accurate results in gender classification. Where, the results achieved by applying image contrast enhancement techniques, such as HE and CLAHE, were compared. CLAHE achieved the best facial classification accuracy compared to HE.
Evaluating the Moisture Susceptibility of Asphalt Mixtures Containing Aluminum Dross as a Filler
Authors: Ugla Sarah K. , Ismael Mohammed Q.
Published: January 2024

One of the most essential components of asphalt pavements is the filler. It serves two purposes. First, this fine-grained material (diameter less than 0.075 mm) improves the cohesiveness of aggregate with bitumen. Second, produce a dense mixture by filling the voids between the particles. Aluminum dross (AD), which is a by-product of aluminum re-melting, is formed all over the world. This material causes damage to humans and the environment; stockpiling AD in landfills is not the best solution. This research studies the possibility of replacing part of the conventional filler with aluminum dross. Three percent of dross was used, 10, 20, and 30% by filler weight. The MarshallMix design method was adopted to obtain the optimum asphalt content for the selected aggregate gradation. After that, the mixture was used to evaluate the moisture damage for controlandimproved mixtures. The compressive strength and tensile strength tests were used to estimate the moisture damage to the asphalt mixtures. It was observed that replacing a part of the limestone dust filler with aluminum dross would improve moisture damage resistance. This was approved since the maximum increase in tensile strength ratio (TSR)was found to be 13.42% at 20% of AD, and the maximum increase in the index of retained strength (IRS)was found to be 8.73% at the same AD percent.

Published: January 2024

The updated National Building Code (NBC 105:2020) for professionally engineered buildings provides guidelines for analyzing and designing earthquake-resistant buildings. Though it has been three years since the update of the NBC, the Indian standard code, IS 1893:2016, still seems to be prevalent; however, it has not been updated after 2016. Therefore, comparing the seismic behavior of buildings analyzed and designed by these two prevailing methods in Nepal is essential. This study aims to compare the seismic parameters, design results, and the total cost of the buildings for NBC and IS for a three-story with a staircase-cover residential building. The response Spectrum Method was used to analyze and compare the response parameters like base shear, story drift, and story displacement. The seismic response parameters are more significant; however, the total cost is not significantly greater (i.e., only 5.5% approx.) for NBC, though the base shear was relatively higher than IS. Thus, this study helps understand the structural performance and emphasizes the use of NBC in all parts of Nepal.

Published: January 2024

For the efficient speed control of three phase Induction motor, the Vector control or Field oriented control (FOC) technique is used for the Voltage source inverter. In implementing FOC the angular position of the rotor flux vector is to be determined. There are two methods (direct and indirect) of vector control for the evaluation of rotor angle. In an Indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) method rotor angle is estimated from slip frequency and rotor frequency without using a sensor (sensors are used in direct FOC) which are achieved in a synchronously rotating frame. IFOC produces high performance in induction motor drives by decoupling rotor flux and torque, so it can be separately controlled by stator direct-axis current and quadrature-axis current respectively, like in a DC motor. The rotor flux orientation method is used for incorporating PI control system using the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique. The Induction motor drive control generally involves three different PI controllers for torque, speed, and flux respectively. Through the simulation result, varying the load torque, and reference speed is achieved within a few milliseconds, and the behavior of the separately excited DC motor is observed.

Authors: Bhat Neeti , Deo Satish Kumar , Gurung Sanyukta
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Multiple-choice questions are feasible, reproducible and cost-effective; hence, they are widely embraced in health professions education. The quality of multiple-choice questions is monitored statistically by item analysis. Item analysis confirms whether the questions measure the intended learning outcomes, ensuring fair and equitable assessments. To promote quality assessment, we analyzed the quality standards of multiple-choice questions in a summative examination using item analysis.
Methods: The multiple choice questions answered by 38 students in the first semester of the allied health science programme of Madan Bhandari Academy of Health Sciences in Bagmati Province were collected, examined, and analyzed. The data gathered were subjected to the performance of each multiple choice question by analysis of difficulty index, discrimination index, and distractor effectiveness.
Results: Items of most courses were acceptable (30% to 70%) as per the difficulty index with only three courses having (>70%) easy items. Poor discriminatory index <0.20=poor) was noted in seven courses, particularly discipline-specific courses. A significant proportion of excellent distractors were identified in two courses: 50% each in Medical Terminology & Musculoskeletal and Fundamentals of Pharmacy. Most of the courses had more than 50% of functional distractors.
Conclusions: The multiple-choice questions in most of the courses had poor discrimination index. These outcomes highlight the need for careful formulation of multiple-choice questions for authentic assessment.

Authors: Gwachha Rakesh , Malla Tanus Bikram , Bhattarai Yogesh , Gautam Rupesh
Published: January 2024

The power distribution system has difficulties with regard to power loss and unacceptable voltage drops as a result of the rapidly expanding power system network, rising electrical energy consumption, and longer distances of power distribution. A typical strategy to address the issues with the distribution system is to perform distribution system reconfiguration. The study focuses on distribution feeder reconfiguration of the Katunje Feeder of Bhaktapur, Nepal where optimization problem is formulated to minimize the system active power loss and investment cost of the system. Genetic algorithm is employed in a co-simulation framework to solve the optimization problem where states of 26 different tie switches are to be altered to achieve the desired optimum results. Two cases are formulated: in case I active power loss is assigned more weight than investment cost whereas, in case II equal weights are assigned for active power loss and investment cost. The results showed the reduction in active power loss and investment cost for both the cases.  Case I resulted in more active power loss reduction compared to case II, and case II resulted in more investment cost reduction compared to case I. From this, decision makers can obtain insights in adopting one of the cases for distribution feeder reconfiguration based on technical consideration (active power loss reduction) or economic consideration (investment cost reduction).

Electronic Government (e-government) has been known as a significant tool in serving the Malaysian administration system. Since 1991, a lot of efforts and initiatives have been carried out in order to implement the system at the state level. As there are not many kinds of literature concentrating on the state website development, hence this study is crucial to show the progress of e-government implementation across the states. Therefore, this paper proposes a theoretical framework of e-government based on three levels of paradigms of public administration namely Old Public Administration, New Public Administration and New Public Service. This study employed a qualitative study by using content analysis method where all thirteen states websites serve as a unit of analysis. The results found that different states’ websites performed with different scores over one another. Generally, this study found that most of the state’s websites are in the second phase; New Public Administration. From the results collected, challenges to the effectiveness and efficiency of e-government are discussed based on several categories namely website visibility, website freshness, website establishment date and website usability.

تعد أصوات اللغة إحدى الخصائص المهمة للغة البشرية، والتعبير الصوتي للغة يكون من أجل تواصل البشر مع غيرهم؛ لذلك فإن لأصوات اللغة دوراً مهماً في كل لغات العالم؛ حيث يتناول البحث خصائص النبر  في اللغة العربية واللغة الصينية الماندرين، ثم يقارن بينهما من خلال إبراز أوجه التشابه والاختلاف بين اللغتين، يهدف البحث إلى معرفة النبر  في اللغة العربية واللغة الصينية الماندرين، وبيان أوج التشابه والاختلاف بينهما في النبر . سيتبع البحث المنهج الوصفي والمنهج التحليلي التقابلي. توصلت الدراسة على نتائج مهمة، وهي: أن المقطع الأول في العربية لا يبدأ إلا بصامت؛ اما اللغة الصينية فيبدأ المقطع الواحد بصامت وينتهي بصائت، وأن ثمة اختلافا في تركيب جروف الأصوات بين اللغتين مثل حروف: (مْ، نْ، فْ، لْ)، وهي تنطق بنفس الأصوات في الماندرين؛ وأن هناك كذلك أصواتا صائتة مشتركة بين اللغتين مثل (آ) و(يِ) و (وْ) في العربية، وتنطق بنفس الأصوات في الماندرين؛ وأن نبر الكلمة في الماندرين يختلف عن العربية؛ بأن لكل كلمة صينية مقطعاً صوتياً واحداً فقط؛ أما اللغة الصينية الماندرين فهي لغة نغمية، والنغمات الخمسة هي المكونات الأساسية للكلمات الصينية الحديثة؛ ولكن في اللغة العربية لا تعد النغمة جزءاً من كلمتها ولا يمكن استخدام نغماتها لتمييز المعنى، فيمكن التغيير في أماكن النبرة بين المقاطع الصوتية؛ بأن يعبر فقط عن موقف المتحدث ومشاعره.
