Authors: Hashim Rushanim , Tay Yee Vern
Published: October 2023

Purchasing products online has been a new way of life since electronic devices were introduced to society. This phenomenon is increasing in Malaysia as youngsters prefer to purchase things online rather than purchase them in-store. This study is conducted to examine the level of online shopping preference and investigate the relationship between security, saving time, and payment methods with online shopping preference among UUM students. This study used a quantitative approach with 200 students from UUM. The data was collected by using Google Forms with a five-point Likert Scale. Other than that, this study uses Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) in analyzing the data by conducting Reliability Test, Validity Test, Descriptive Statistics Analysis, Spearman Correlation Analysis, and Regression Analysis. Based on the findings, the security level of online shopping platforms has a positive and significant impact on online shopping preferences among UUM students.

Published: October 2023

In the current market, businesses are always looking for ways to sustain and maintain their stability. One of the key strategies is to maintain consumer loyalty and create a peak consumer experience. The study focuses on a third-party delivery service that collaborates with restaurants and fast-food stalls, which is finding it increasingly challenging to maintain individual relationships with its growing consumer base. To address this issue, the study uses churn analysis to extract semantic consumer behavioural information from transaction details, restaurant information, and consumer profiles. The churn analysis process involves six stages: forming objectives, data acquisition, data pre-processing, machine learning, data visualization, and data reporting. Datasets were obtained from a food delivery company and pre-processed using various techniques, including data cleaning, data integration, data transformation, and data reduction. During data pre-processing, the churn period was defined, and various machine learning algorithms such as Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, AdaBoost Classifier, Gradient Boosting Classifier, XGboost Classifier, and Deep Neural Network were used to predict outcomes. The models were evaluated using metrics such as Area Under the Curve, Confusion Matrix, and Receiver Operating Characteristic. The testing of classifiers was performed with varying feature reduction methods. The findings provide valuable insights into the churn analysis process and how it can be used to extract semantic consumer behavioural information, which can help improve consumer retention and satisfaction, leading to increased revenue and business growth.

Published: October 2023

The learning concept of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is capable of receiving a large number of users and it requires little basic knowledge related to the subject taken. This technology will create dynamism and personalization of a wider user learning experience. In order to ensure that the MOOCs e-learning system can benefit users, researchers need to understand and consider the dynamic exchange between user cognition and motivation. Persuasive technology can be applied and integrated to facilitate student adaptation while accelerating their attitude change without using coercion. This technology will create relationships between individuals through computer-mediated interactions or human-computer-human interactions, as well as interactions between individuals and computers. Since the success in the use of e-learning systems depends on the readiness and acceptance of students, the low level of use of e-learning systems previously caused the benefits of online learning to not be optimally received. Research on this topic is still at an early stage where students' opinions or perceptions have not been fully studied. Thus, this study focuses on the heuristic evaluation of the persuasiveness of the Open Learning (PT) system used in Malaysian higher education institutions. The heuristic evaluation of the Open Learning system involves two expert evaluators and this evaluation is done in the form of a face-to-face discussion. Both evaluators are content creators for the PT system who are also experts in the field of e-learning and have been involved from the initial phase of using the PT system in Malaysia. The evaluation done on this PT system focuses on four persuasive categories namely; 1) primary task support; 2) dialogue support; 3) credibility support; and 4) social support. These four persuasive categories are outlined in the Persuasive Design Development Model (PRP). The conclusion from this study is that both experts agree that the dialogue support category needs to be improved by focusing on improving the effective reminder features of the PT system. The reminder principle is one of the persuasive principles outlined in the Persuasive Design Development Model (PRP).
ORGANISATIONAL LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES IN ADOPTING DEVOPS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA SMES
Authors: Hamza Usman , Abdullah Nasuha Lee , Syed-Mohamad Sharifah Mashita
Published: October 2023

The development and operation issue is rapidly expanding as some organisations in northern Nigeria seek to capitalise on the benefits it can provide to software development organisations and information technology projects. Adopting DevOps, on the other hand, requires significant organisational change, especially where tradition and established processes exist. This study presents the findings of a five-month qualitative diary study following the implementation of DevOps in a Nigerian SME with over 100 employees as part of a large-scale doctoral research project that investigates software development processes and leadership challenges. Based on the study's findings, the case study organisation employs the DevOps approach to develop new software for internal and external use. DevOps appears to be well-known in theory, but it is extremely difficult to put into practise. This difficulty is exacerbated by the need to maintain old systems, a lack of technical leadership, management systems, and resilience. This research also found evidence of job creation, particularly among software developers. Taken together, we argue that DevOps is an interdisciplinary topic that requires all stakeholders to participate in order to communicate and collaborate, and that it would benefit greatly from more leadership and possibly deeper psychological research.
Czyj — swój? Czyj — obcy?

Autor podejmuje próbę analizy sposobu konstruowania granic swojskości – obcości w opowiadających o konflikcie rosyjsko-ukraińskim okresu 2014-2021 filmach fabularnych wyprodukowanych w Ukrainie, Rosji i samozwańczej Ługańskiej Republice Ludowej, traktowanych tu jako teksty kultury o znaczeniu propagandowym. W toku analizy okazało się, iż także w warunkach wojny dychotomia swój-wróg daje się zastosować tylko częściowo, bowiem w kinie Ukraińskim znajdujemy wyraziste przykłady obrazowania mieszkańców Donbasu, a nawet separatystów, w mniej jednoznacznych kategoriach. Płodne poznawczo okazało się tu zastosowanie koncepcji Z. Baumana z „obcym” ulokowanym pomiędzy ”przyjacielem” a „wrogiem”. Uchwycono także brak symetrycznie rozpisanych ról swojego i wroga w produkcjach poszczególnych krajów, wynikający z faktu, iż główny wróg ukazany w produkcjach ukraińskich – Rosja, w filmach rosyjskich i DNR jest praktycznie nieobecny jako strona konfliktu w Donbasie (inaczej kwestia ta wygląda w obrazach traktujących o aneksji Krymu).

Celem badania była analiza orientacji akulturacyjnych Polaków stosunku do dwóch grup migrantów - osób zdobywających wyższe wykształcenie i doświadczenie profesjonalne, i jednocześnie pochodzących z dwóch krajów o różnym dystansie kulturowym w stosunku do Polski: 1) relatywnie bliskiej kulturowo Ukrainy i 2) relatywnie dalekiej kulturowo Turcji. Skupiono się na podobieństwach i różnicach kulturowych postrzeganych przez przedstawicieli społeczeństwa goszczącego w sferach związanych z rynkiem pracy i edukacji. Przeprowadzono 20 wywiadów częściowo ustrukturyzowanych, które poddano analizie jakościowej. Osoby pochodzące z Ukrainy generalnie określane były jako kulturowo bardzo podobne do Polaków, niemniej szczegółowa analiza poszczególnych obszarów związanych z pracą i edukacją wykazała istnienie także szeregu postrzeganych różnic kulturowych. Natomiast w przypadku osób z Turcji, w ocenie ogólnej osoby badane podkreślały różnice kulturowe, niemniej zwracano uwagę na podobieństwa w sytuacji, gdy osoby te  należą do podobnej grupy społecznej. W przypadku małego dystansu kulturowego pojawia się zatem zagrożenie generalizacji prowadzące do niedostrzegania lub ignorowania istniejących różnic kulturowych.

Tanah merupakan material konstruksi dengan susunan agregat yang kompleks, heterogen, dan tidak pasti. Tanah subgrade merupakan permukaan tanah asli, galian, atau timbunan yang digunakan sebagai dasar perkerasan. Penentuan daya dukung tanah dilakukan dengan mengukur nilai CBR (California Bearing Ratio). CBR merupakan perbandingan kekuatan tanah dasar dengan kekuatan bahan agregat standar. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik pengambilan sampel langsung dari lapangan untuk mendapatkan data fisik yang diperlukan. Uji CBR dilakukan di laboratorium dengan menggunakan tiga sampel uji, masing-masing mengalami 56, 25, dan 10 tumbukan. Metode yang digunakan adalah SNI 1742:2008 dengan kadar air optimum sebesar 14% yang ditentukan melalui uji proctor test. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa nilai CBR design yang diperoleh adalah 4%. Analisis ini membutuhkan data primer dan data sekunder. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa nilai CBR tanah dasar di Desa Gedangan, Kecamatan Karangrejo, Kabupaten Tulungagung, Provinsi Jawa Timur, tergolong buruk. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan stabilisasi tanah agar dapat digunakan sebagai subgrade lapis perkerasan jalan. Dengan stabilisasi yang tepat, tanah dapat diaplikasikan secara efektif dalam pembangunan infrastruktur jalan.

Authors: Udoh Elijah Asuquo , Akaiso Okon Edet , Ukpong Albert Effiong
Published: October 2023

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prostate cancer (Pca) are two different disease entities that occur frequently in the elderly populations. Researchers have identified some mechanisms that could link T2DM to the development, progression and prognosis of Pca. Although controversies surround this concept, T2DM has been reported to confer protection to the development of low grade Pca and to a lesser extent high grade Pca. Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty-six (136) men with Pca were evaluated in this study. Information from their case-notes were retrospectively retrieved during their clinic visits including bio-data, history, physical examination findings, laboratory and radiological investigation results and reports of prostate biopsy. Patients were grouped as diabetic and non-diabetic based on the history and laboratory records. Age and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels were also categorized. Collated data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 software. Results: One hundred and thirty six (136) men with a mean age of 69.10±8.40 years ranging from 48 to 91 years and diagnosed with Pca were evaluated. Diabetic men were older and had higher mean serum PSA and Gleason score (GS) than non-diabetic men (Table3i – iii). Conclusion: Diabetic men in this study had higher values of variables portraying more aggressive Pca than non-diabetic men. Therefore, in evaluating this group of patients presenting with symptoms suspicious of Pca, concerns of probably dealing with highly aggressive tumours should be held strong.
Effectiveness of graminicide application in chickpea crops in the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine
Authors: Hutianskyi R.
Published: October 2023

Goal. To determine the effect of herbicides, in particular graminicides with different active ingredients, on the weediness of crops and the yield of chickpea seeds in the conditions of the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.

Methods. Field, measuring and weighing, statistical.

Results. Under conditions of the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine, 27 species of weed plants were found in chickpea crops (annual cereals — 3 species, annual dicots — 17 species, perennial dicotyledonous — 7 species). Annual cereal weeds dominated in number (76.4%), and annual dicot weeds (44.3%) in terms of raw mass. The highest technical efficiency against annual cereal weeds, when applied during the budding stage of chickpea, was provided by the graminicide Lemur, EC (hyzalofop-P-tefuryl, 40 g/ l) — 1.5 l/ ha (by the number and raw mass of cereals, 99.2 and 98.3%, respectively), and the lowest efficiency was provided by the graminicide Selenite, EC (clethodim, 120 g/ l) — 1.0 l/ ha (79.4 and 71.8%, respectively). Tank mixture of soil herbicides Panda, EC (pendimethalin, 330 g/ l) — 3.5 l/ ha + Steals, EC (flurochloridone, 250 g/ l) — 2.0 l/ ha, which was applied in the pre-emergence period, controlled only the number of annual dicot weeds (technical efficiency was 62.1—79.0%), which was associated with a number of factors (the presence of resistant weed species in the crops, different soil moisture during the application period by years, the use of the minimum recommended doses of herbicides). The studied herbicides did not affect perennial dicot weeds. Combining soil herbicides with graminicides reduced the total number of weeds by 73.2—87.9%, and their raw weight by 22.4—43.0%. The highest economic efficiency (0.28 t/ ha) was provided by the composition of the preparations Panda, EC — 3.5 l/ ha + Steals, EC — 2.0 l/ ha (tank mixture) + Queen Star Max, EC (hyzalofop-P-ethyl, 125 g/ l) — 0.8 l/ ha.

Conclusions. In the absence of the effect of the studied herbicides on perennial dicot weeds and the insufficient effect of soil herbicides on annual dicot species, despite the high effectiveness of graminicides against cereals, it was not possible to obtain significant increase in the yield of chickpea seeds (from 0.13 to 0.28 t/ ha).

Published: October 2023

Goal. To identify fungi associated with the tissues of strawberry plants and evaluate the frequency of their isolation at different stages of plant growth.
Methods. The research was conducted in the Right Bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine (Cherkasy Region) in 2021—2023, cv. ‘Clery’. Plant samples were taken in the phases of rosette formation (April), budding-flowering (May), fruit ripening (June) and in the post-harvest period (July-August). The analysis was carried out in laboratory conditions using macroscopic and biological methods.
Results. During the research period, fungi belonging to 27 genera were isolated from strawberry tissues. In general, they can be divided into three groups: pathogens of leaves, which is the most numerous, berries, roots and crown. Representatives of the genera Alternaria, which were isolated from 57—100% of samples, and Fusarium (40—88%) occurred most often. Less often, but also during the entire growing season, Penicillium spp. (36—69%), Podosphaera aphanis (11—80%), Botrytis cinerea (27—67%), Paraphomopsis obscurans (24—77%) were isolated. Among the leaf diseases powdery mildew was recorded during all growing season, with a maximum in the fruit ripening phase. White leaf spot was observed starting from the budding-flowering phase, and leaf scorch was found from the fruit ripening phase. Gray rot was the most common fruit disease. The root system was more often affected by Fusarium spp.
Conclusions. The obtained results demonstrate that during the entire growing season fungi of the genera Alternaria, Fusarium, Penicillium, as well as Podosphaera aphanis, Botrytis cinerea and Paraphomopsis obscurans were most often isolated from strawberry tissues. R.grevilleana was isolated starting from the budding-flowering phase, and D. earlianum from the fruit ripening phase. Species from the genera Podosphaera, Ramularia, Diplocarpon, Colletotrichum, Pestalotiopsis, Verticillium, Sclerotinia, Gnomoniopsis, Rhizoctonia, Coniella, Rhizopus, Septoria, Cylindrocarpon require constant control of their spread. Under favorable conditions for their development, they can cause damage to plants and a significant lack of harvest. The seasonal monitoring of fungi on strawberry provides a means for establishing the optimal periods for their control and developing effective disease protection system.

Authors: Wojtczak Piotr , Kluj Przemysław , Gaszyński Tomasz , Ratajczyk Paweł
Published: October 2023

Aim: Difficult or failed tracheal intubation is a well-known cause of morbidity and mortality associated with anesthesia and emergency medicine. The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the laryngoscopes AirTraq, AirTraq with phone camera adapter and Macintosh in simulated conditions when used by people without clinical experience.
Material and methods: A total of 32 students of medical direction were qualified for the study. The tested laryngoscopes were evaluated in terms of the effectiveness and time of endotracheal intubation procedure. In each scenario, participants had up to three attempts to intubate with each laryngoscope. The AirTraq was previously unknown to the study participants. In total, 288 endotracheal intubation attempts were evaluated.
Results: The overall number of successful intubations with the AirTraq was 96 (100%), for the AirTraq with smartphone adapter 96 (100%) and with the Macintosh classic laryngoscope 88 (91%). The median time of endotracheal intubation was 28,3 seconds for the Macintosh laryngoscope, 16,4 seconds for AirTraq and 17,6 second for the AirTraq with smartphone adapter. Intubation performed with the AirTraq was shorter by 11.9 seconds in comparison with Macintosh laryngoscope and intubation performed with the use of camera-guided AirTraq was shorter by 10,7 seconds in comparison with Macintosh.
Conclusions: The study shows that AirTraq and AirTraq with smartphone adapter are the most useful devices, combining high efficiency with a statistically significant reduction in time between successive attempts compared with Macintosh classic laryngoscope.

Authors: Rzońca Ewa , Pinkas Jarosław
Published: October 2023

Aim:To present the characteristics of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) team interventions in cases of women with a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP).
Material and methods: The study was based on a retrospective analysis of interventions by basic and specialist EMS teams in cases of pregnant women with a hypertensive disorder carried out between 1 January 2018 and 30 June 2021.
Results: Most of the women studied were pregnant for the first time (52.3%), in their III trimester (76.6%). The most commonly reported symptom was swelling (12.0%). The majority of interventions were carried out by a basic (only paramedics), two-person (55.0%) EMS team and were assigned urgency code 2 (65.8%). Emergency medical procedures most commonly provided by EMS teams to pregnant patients were pulse oximetry (95.5%) and blood pressure measurement (73.3%). Further management involved providing assistance to the pregnant patient and transferring her to hospital (94.7%). Basic EMS teams (only paramedics) were more likely than specialist EMS teams (with physician) to be dispatched to women with HDP who were in their second pregnancy (23.7%) and had no history of giving birth (53.5%). Most interventions by basic EMS teams (only paramedics) were assigned urgency code 2 (70.0%) and were carried out by a two-person EMS team (81.1%). The associations identified were statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Further studies on out-of-hospital obstetric emergencies are necessary in order to gain a better understanding of the subject and ensure that EMS teams provide the best possible care to pregnant patients.

Aim: Assessment of the risk of pulmonary embolism and myocardial dysfunction based on the measured levels of d-dimer and troponin-T in patients treated in the hospital for COVID-19.
Material and methods: The study included a 3-year retrospective analysis of medical records of patients treated at the Independent Public Healthcare Institution. The authors compared the 12 months preceding the epidemic treating this group of patients (without COVID-19) as a control (comparative), and the 24 months of the epidemic in Poland (patients with COVID-19 infection).
Results: Statistically significant differences in d-dimer concentrations before and during the pandemic were found (2.150 ± 3.892 vs. 4.990 ± 15.244 vs. 5.032 ± 13.426 μg/ml; P = 0.046). However, there were no statistically significant differences before and during the pandemic in troponin T concentrations (0.027 ± 0.049 vs. 0.032 ± 0.082 vs. 0.034 ± 0.121 ng/mL; P = 0.718). Comparing the periods of the pandemic and the time before the pandemic, the length of the hospitalization period was statistically significantly extended (8 ± 4 vs. 10 ± 7 vs. 12 ± 7 days; P<0.001).
Conclusions: Diagnostics consisting in monitoring the level of d-dimer in patients with COVID-19 allows to reduce the risk of complications, including hospital death. Determining the level of d-dimer and troponin-T allows for the implementation of appropriate treatment in patients with COVID-19. Testing the level of d-dimer is important in making clinical decisions against the risk of flordembolism in adult COVID-19 patients.
O uroczystości i gościach. Czechosłowacka nowa fala i kultura czasu wolnego
Authors: Świętochowska Grażyna
Published: October 2023

Celem artykułu jest konfrontacja historycznego nurtu czechosłowackiej nowej fali i zagadnienia czasu wolnego widzianego przez różnorakie praktyki celebrowania i świętowania oraz przejawiające się w ich ramach przykłady demonstracji, ale i reżimów ciała. Socjalistyczna leisure class czas spędza na łonie natury, oddając się konsumpcji (dającej się odczytać również w planie struktur narracyjnych), ostentacyjnie uciekając w życie prywatne. Dominujące praktyki powielają niejednokrotnie dobrze rozpoznane techniki dyscypliny. W tym ujęciu kino istnieje przede wszystkim jako zwierciadło praktyk życia codziennego, w którym przeglądają się krytyczne odczytania Michela Foucault i Václava Havla.
Święto „rāmen”, czyli wielozmysłowa uczta Jūzō Itamiego
Authors: Loska Krzysztof
Published: October 2023

Loska przedstawia analizę i interpretację filmu Tanpopo (1985) Jūzō Itamiego, sytuując swe rozważania na obszarze tzw. food studies. Jak zauważa, wybierając jedzenie jako temat swojego filmu, Jūzō Itami postanowił zmierzyć się z kultem „japońskości”, obnażyć iluzję homogenicznej kultury przez zwrócenie uwagi na elementy, które nie pasują do tego uproszczonego i jednowymiarowego wizerunku Japonii. Chodziło mu o pokazanie, że każdy posiłek – podobnie jak naród – jest złożony ze składników różnego pochodzenia, że nie ma całości bez poszczególnych części. Analiza rozmaitych kontekstów tego filmu, jego dygresyjnej i wielowątkowej struktury, relacji między bohaterami oraz zawartych w filmie licznych metafor kulinarnych prowadzi autora do konstatacji, że wątki kulinarne służą reżyserowi jako narzędzie krytyczne, ponieważ pozwalają na obnażenia resztek feudalnego porządku, absurdalności rytuałów życia społecznego, a przede wszystkim nieuzasadnionego poczucia wyższości Japończyków nad innymi narodami.

The Covid-19 epidemic has left us with no choice but to look for different ways to learn. These hard times have made us want even online education, which we never thought we could rely on. Online learning has increased the popularity of the concept of self-paced learning. Independent learning is the process by which learners use their self-regulatory skills to plan and manage their learning with predetermined goals in mind. Learners check and evaluate their results from time to time for independent learning. Learners and teachers must be goal-oriented and determined to develop themselves to achieve a successful tomorrow. All the learners are self-regulated, as self-paced learning is flexible and independent. Learners who are in control of their learning have been found to be more successful than limited learners. The research emphasizes that it was useful to give students the opportunity to choose revision topics and plan revision. Students trust themselves and their knowledge, and with it only grows their desire to learn more and more deeply. Authors have segregated their research by discussing about the drastic change in the education sector and how the EDtech business has evolved from off-line to online. Also authors have conducted the survey for the student’s online learnings and also their experience with the tools.
Breaking an Electron
Authors: - Anirudh Kulkarni
Published: October 2023

An electron is a subatomic particle with a negative charge and is a medium for electricity to travel. An electron, being a stable particle, cannot be broken down; but the results shown in this experiment show otherwise. We can break an isolated electron by bombarding alpha radiation and beta radiation with the help of electricity. We also use photoelectric effect to isolate the electron. But due to no financial aid, we replaced the alpha and beta radiation with electromagnetic radiation.

The fins are extended surfaces that are made to increase the rate of heat transfer through the equipment/components. Generally, they are used for faster cooling of the equipment/components. The comparative thermal analysis of rectangular fin and porous fin is done in the paper. Both the fins are subjected to the same conditions i.e., both the fins have the same room temperature, have the same dimensions, and are exposed to the same surrounding conditions i.e., the flow of air over the fins, the ambient temperature of the fins, etc. Of course, for calculations, some assumptions are made. The heat transfer rate from both fins is calculated and compared. The efficiency of fins and effectiveness are calculated and compared. The temperature distribution graph for the rectangular fin is plotted in Excel. The modeling software Solidworks is used to model rectangular non-porous fin and rectangular porous fins. The thermal analysis of both the fins is done in the software called Simscale.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge – Inheritor of Unfulfilled Renown
Authors: - Sumathy.V
Published: October 2023

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “logician, metaphysician, bard, is one of the “inheritors of unfulfilled renown” in English literature. The history of Coleridge’s life is one of unexecuted designs, of air- castles and broken arcs. He described himself as a great “tomorrows.” The bulk of his poetry, and the best part of it, belong to his youth. Significance in the study of his attitude toward the sex. The story of Coleridge’s love affairs: Mary Evans, Sara Fricker Clate his wife, Sara Hutchinson, Miss. Nesbite, Miss. Brunton etc. Coleridge’s love poetry was inspired by Mary Evans and his wife. The defect of his love poetry was its want of passion. His love is evanescent and fleeting, and lacking in intensity. It’s dreamlike and quality tender, sentimental and languid, not passionate. There is no well- drawn feminine portrait in any of his poems. None of his characters is fully realized and individualized for us. In spite of the admiration for womanhood that his poetry illustrates everyone are from a far country. Keywords: poetry, love, Coleridge’s life, characters
