Authors: Shawky Mohamed
Published: September 2024

Websites became closely ingrained in our personal life and work styles, and they have already become crucial to the success of the business. The web development process is often ad-hoc and chaotic, lacking systematic and disciplined approaches and quality assurance and control procedures. To attain the desired quality of websites, a lot of quality factors should be considered. Web quality factors can be organized around three perspectives: visitor, owner, and developer. Each perspective is mainly interested in some quality factors than others. The visitor is mainly concerned with seven quality factors: usability, accessibility, content quality, credibility, functionality, security, and internationalization. This paper focuses on usability as an example of quality considerations that are more important from the visitor’s perspective. Therefore, this paper aims to propose an approach for enhancing the usability of websites. The proposed approach depends on a set of quality guidelines for three quality sub-factors of usability, which are: navigability, searching, and legibility. Finally, a case study is used to evaluate and illustrate the validity of the proposed approach. The outcomes are explained and interpreted.

Exploring the Optimal Curves of Intersection for Enhanced 3D Shape Designing A Comprehensive Study on Geometric Optimization Techniques
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, Lahore College for Women University, Lahore, Pakistan, Sarfraz Faiza
Published: September 2024

Surface and solid intersection is emerging swiftly in many applications of computer graphics, engineering and mathematical models. In engineering science, several algorithms are produced for some unique purposes like intersection of prism/cone, cone/cone, prism/cylinder etc. All such procedures used different 3D drawing tools for creating geometrical interpretation of their required models. Surface intersection deals with numerous algorithms in computational and applied mathematics, needed for intersection of different surfaces such as rational polynomial parametric, implicit algebraic etc. In this paper, a novel surface intersection approach is proposed which works for all types of intersection like; parametric-parametric, explicit-explicit, implicit-explicit surfaces. This scheme includes a method for determination of significant points (boundary and turning points) from surface intersection sequence points. Optimal curve is fitted to these points by rational quadratic spline and a soft computing technique Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied for attaining optimized curve, by allotting specific shape parameter values in the depiction of rational quadratic spline. However, some experimental results show the efficiency and robustness of this technique.

Authors:   Australian National University (College of Asia and the Pacific), Australia, Anderson Atholl
Published: September 2024

Graph theory is widely used to analyze the structure models in chemistry, biology, computer science, operations research and sociology. Molecular bonds, species movement between regions, development of computer algorithms, shortest spanning tree in a weighted graphs, aircraft scheduling and exploration of diffusion mechanism are some of these structure models. A computing system C can execute an algorithm A if A is graph-isomorphic to a subgraph of CG. This is equivalent of defining a graph isomorphism between A and subgraph of CG. This research article gives a small description of graph theory applications and one of graph model (zig-zag triangle) to define a suitable computer algorithm. Let Γ be a connected, simple graph with finite vertices v and edges e. A family {Γ1, Γ2, . . . , Γp} ⊂ Γ of subgraphs such that for all e ∈ E, e ∈ Γl, for some l, l = 1, 2, . . . , p is an edge-covering of Γ. If Γl ∼= Γ′, ∀l, then Γ has an Γ′-covering. Graph Γ with Γ′-covering is an (ad, d)-Γ′-antimagic if f : V ∪ E → {1, 2, . . . , |V | + |E|} a bijection exists and the sum over all vertex-weights and edge-weights of Γ′ form a set {ad, ad + d, . . . , ad + (p − 1)d}. The labeling ξ is super for ξ(VΓ) = {1, 2, 3, . . . , |VΓ|} and graph Γ is Γ′-supermagic for d = 0. This manuscript investigates super (ad, d)-Γ′-antimagic labelings of zig-zag triangles for differences d = 1, 2, . . . , 8.

Published: September 2024

The study, investigated determinants of banks profitability in Nigeria. Other studies in this area concentrated on other profitability notions, this study incorporated Economic Value Added (EVA). Due to the presence of endogeneity problems inherent in most panel data sets of this nature we employed a two-step system GMM estimator to produce a robust estimation and account for the endogeneity problem in the data. The study revealed that bank size has a positive and significant impact on all measures of bank profitability with the exception of Net Interest Margin (NIM). This result remained consistent after macroeconomic factors were introduced in the model. The outcome also indicated that capital adequacy significantly explains bank profitability in Nigeria, with a sign change in the case of Economic Value Added (EVA) only. It was also evident that financial structure (FS) has a positive and significant impact on Return on Assets (ROA), NIM, and EVA but no evidence of significant relationship was found with ROE. The result indicated that liquidity risk (LR) has a negative and significant impact on ROA and EVA but failed to provide a significant impact on ROE and NIM. The result of the macroeconomic factors included in the model indicated that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has a positive and significant impact on NIM and EVA while no significant relationship was found when related to ROA and ROE. Inflation as a macroeconomic variable showed a significant relationship with ROA and ROE with no evidence of significant relationship with NIM and EVA. It was concluded that the impact of firm specific factors and macroeconomic variables on the profitability of the Nigerian banking sector differ according to the profitability measure employed.

Published: September 2024

Mushroom has been considered as one of the choices of quality and functional food. Nutritional profiling of mushrooms has been well reported in different research. In Malaysia, most studies investigated secondary metabolite production, cultivation and health benefits of edible mushrooms. Research on wild mushroom has been very limited. Hence, the objective of this research project was to identify the morphology of wild mushroom species commonly found in middle of West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Four different wild mushrooms were collected and characterised based on the morphology and growth appearance when cultured on potato dextrose agar. They were morphologically identified as Tremella genus, Ganoderma genus, Phaeolus genus and Trametes genus. However, the species identification was able to confirm up to genus level only as they are sharing many similar features. In conclusion, morphological characterization of mushroom was very time consuming and the accuracy is highly dependent on the researcher’s experience. Therefore, molecular method is needed to further confirm the identity of the wild mushrooms.

Authors: N. Sukala , Rajalaxmi V.
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare the effects of cognitive dual task training and motor dual task training on balance in post stroke patients. INTRODUCTION : Stroke is a disease caused by lack of blood supply to the brain following ischemia or haemorrhage. The reduced motility following stroke results in a body imbalance that appears as asymmetric posture, proprioception disorder and abnormal muscle tone that lead to the degeneration of balancing ability. Dual tasks training is a training in which two or more tasks are performed at the same time continuously. The motor dual tasks requires performance of a motor task and a postural control task at the same time and cognition dual tasks requires performance of a cognition task and postural control task simultaneously. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into 2 groups with 15 participants each. Participants in CDTT or MDTT practiced the cognitive and motor dual tasks respectively while standing on wobble board. The intervention was for 45 minute / session, 5 days/week for 4 weeks Participants were tested before and after the intervention for balance function under cognitive and motor dual task conditions using berg balance scale, stroop test and standing balance test. RESULTS: Mean values of Group A and Group B on berg balance scale, were (49.47) and (47.40) respectively. Mean values of Group A and Group B on standing balance test were (30.07) and (28.80), and the mean values of Group A and Group B on stroop test were (16.73) and (11.47). On comparing pre test and post test values within Group A and Group B on berg balance scale, standing balance test and stroop test shows highly significant difference in mean values at p ≤ 0.001. CONCLUSION: This study concluded that cognitive dual task training is more effective in improving balance in acute stroke patients with balance impairment, when compared to motor dual task training.

A Comprehensive Review of Mathematical Modeling Approaches for Analysing Human Reproductive Dynamics in North East India
Authors: Lumina  Devi Laishram
Published: September 2024

North East India, characterized by its ethnic diversity and varied socio-economic conditions, encounters distinct reproductive health challenges driven by early marriage, cultural norms, and disparities in healthcare access. Early marriage contributes to early childbearing and affects fertility rates. Diverse cultural practices among the region's numerous ethnic groups shape family planning decisions and contraceptive use, while limited access to quality healthcare services exacerbates maternal and child health issues. This review paper examines how mathematical modeling can provide a structured approach to understanding these complex dynamics. The application of age-structured and fertility transition models is analysed to track demographic trends and shifts in fertility. Additionally, advanced modeling techniques, such as stochastic and agent-based models, are used to account for variability and simulate different scenarios. The review also evaluates data collection methods for accurate modeling and the processes of calibration and validation. The findings underscore the effectiveness of these models in capturing regional reproductive trends and highlight the need for improved data collection and the integration of local cultural and socio-economic factors into models to enhance their accuracy and relevance. By combining quantitative models with qualitative insights, this review aims to offer actionable recommendations for developing public health strategies and policies tailored to the specific needs of North East India.​

Authors: Nasruddin
Published: September 2024

This research aims to identify the factors that influence the decision of footwear MSMEs in Cibaduyut to adopt e-commerce. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as the main theoretical framework, this research also considers the Technology-Organizational-Environmental (TOE) model to understand technological, organizational and environmental factors as well as personal factors of MSME owners. Primary data was collected through questionnaires filled out by 148 respondents from footwear MSMEs in Cibaduyut, and analyzed using the multiple linear regression method. The research results show that MSMEs have a positive attitude towards e-commerce, influenced by social norms, perceived behavioral control, perceived benefits, and government support. These findings suggest that MSMEs that have not yet adopted e-commerce need to consider the potential benefits, while those that have adopted can evaluate the existing challenges. The government is expected to contribute through training, infrastructure and regulations that support the use of e-commerce in MSMEs.

Published: September 2024

Juvenile river shrimp Macrobrachium nipponense were used with weights and bred with Barbus xanthopterus of the same weight for a 30-day experiment. The weight at the end of the experiment was 2.313±0.567 gm and 11.167±2.644 gm for both shrimp and fish respectively. The shrimp grew with a weight increase exceeding one gram, while the fish grew with a weight increase exceeding 3 grams during the same period of the experiment. These results encourage the need to move towards mixed farming and benefit from the common factors between experimental animals to give more benefit from the sustainable crop.

This study aims to test and obtain empirical evidence regarding the Effect of Asset Growth, Net Profit, and Operating Cash Flow on Dividend Policy. The population in this study are banking sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2022. The data used is secondary data using Purposive Sampling sampling techniques. The population used in this study were 45 companies with 13 selected companies with a total sample of 65 data. The analysis technique used in this study is panel data regression. The results of the study show that simultaneously Asset Growth, Net Profit and Operating Cash Flow together affect Dividend Policy. while partially Asset Growth does not affect Dividend Policy where the rise and fall of assets will not affect Dividend Policy, Net Profit has a significant effect on Dividend Policy meaning that net profit can be used as absolute information in predicting dividends that will be received by investors in the current period. While Operating Cash Flow does not have a significant effect on Dividend Policy, this shows that operating cash flow is not the main determining factor in dividend distribution policy.

Published: September 2024

Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk menganalisis kapasitas kelembagaan Pokdarwis Desa Keleke, Kecamatan Dolo Barat, kabupaten Sigi dalam pengembangan desa wisata Kampung Merah Putih. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah deskriptif-kualitatif, dengan pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada aspek kemampuan organisasi memimpin dan berkoordinasi serta aspek kemampuan organisasi melakukan kemitraan eksternal sudah berjalan namun belum optimal, sedangkan pada aspek kemampuan organisasi mengembangkan produk pariwisata serta aspek kemampuan organisasi melakukan promosi destinasi wisata belum terlaksana. Hal itu dapat dilihat dari pengelolaan desa wisata yang melibatkan berbagai entitas masih dalam proses pengembangan, terutama dalam hal integrasi dan optimalisasi pengelolaan Pokdarwis di bawah BUMDes. Meskipun terdapat berbagai inisiatif dan kerjasama yang telah dilakukan namun pengembangan desa wisata masih terfragmentasi dan cenderung bersifat individu. Adapun obyek wisata permandian Bionga dan taman bunga terhadap Pendapatan Asli Desa dari sektor pariwisata masih belum maksimal. Pokdarwis yang bertanggung jawab atas pengembangan pariwisata desa belum berhasil mengelola produk-produk wisata secara efektif. Meskipun memiliki potensi wisata namun pengembangan dan promosi pariwisata masih menghadapi beberapa tantangan. Salah satunya kurangnya Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) terlatih dalam mengelola dan mempromosikan potensi wisata secara efektif, terutama melalui platform media sosial seperti website yang dibuat oleh Jaringan Desa Wisata atau Jadesta.
