The decorative architectural components of traditional Malay houses are made of beautiful wood carvings that are made up of exquisite motifs, compositions, and carving techniques. These components not only complement the overall aesthetic look of the house but are also rich with symbolism and meaning that reflects the culture and identity of the Malay. Due to this, decorative architectural components are among the components that have been used and integrated into contemporary building design in the spirit of lifting the nation’s identity into modern contemporary design. However, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the intricate designs and distinctive characteristics of these decorative architectural components has led to a shallow interpretation in contemporary architectural design, ultimately affecting the public's understanding of the traditional Malay architectural heritage. This research aims to analyse the existence of Malay aesthetic principles that exist in decorative architectural components design. The findings of the research found that 6 Malay aesthetic principles exist in the design and placement of the decorative architectural components of Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak, namely, Berhalus (fineness), Berlambang (symbolic), Bermakna (meaningful), Bersatu (unity), Berguna (usefulness), Berlawan (contradict). The findings of this research shed light on the intricate craftsmanship and artistic expression embedded within the decorative architectural components of the traditional Malay house. The significance of the research not only reinforces prior research and extends the understanding of Malay aesthetic principles resonating within the realm of Malay architecture but also it helps the architects and designer to better understand the Malay architecture and its decorative components.

A significant amount of solid waste is dumped by the ceramics sector, which is a worry for the environment. As well known, Kuala Kangsar, Perak, Malaysia is the location to a large ceramics industry. In Malaysia, there are landfills, but not all of them can manage solid waste perfectly. As a result, many waste disposal contractors look down on solid waste management such as for Plaster of Paris (POP). This is even more complicated when there are a handful of them who take the easy way out by disposing of POP waste by planting or dumping it into rivers and seas. This causes various problems to the environment and health. The aim of this study is to identify how to recycle waste mould into new plaster without affecting their casting performance. This paper shows the study of the effect of characteristics Recycle Plaster of Paris (RPOP) compared to New Plaster of Paris (NPOP). Drying temperatures are performed at (150℃,160℃,170℃,180℃ and 190℃) for RPOP and use the same 60% of material and 40% of water ratio and tests for porosity, absorption, setting times and particle size are performed. The results indicate that all samples of Recycled Plaster of Paris performed well and can function similarly to New Plaster of Paris at different temperatures.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ethics of fine art photography through the lens of self-expression. Specifically, the study focuses on privacy, permission, and the creative utilisation of human experiences. My ability to express myself through photography could be beneficial. Using both observation and case studies, we investigate how the influence of fine art photography on self-expression arises. People are able to visually represent their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through the medium of fine art photography, which also alters their self-expression and contributes to the process of self-discovery. Through the use of high art photography, this research evokes feelings and recollections. The composition, lighting, subject matter, and post-processing techniques all contribute to the creation of well-considered photos. Within the realm of fine art photography, this study promotes the exploration of self-expression through the creation of photographs that generate feelings, conversations, and identities.
Propuestas distintas para un mismo fin: La enseñanza de las matemáticas desde un aprendizaje libre
Authors: López Dalmau Marta
Published: August 2024

Una enseñanza matemática de calidad será aquella que no se limite a realizar de manera continuada la misma dinámica, sino que plantee propuestas distintas bajo una misma filosofía educativa, la cual, permita adaptarse, por un lado, a los distintos estilos de aprendizaje de un mismo grupo y, por otro, a los distintos momentos internos que viva cada individuo. Una enseñanza matemática de calidad será aquella que vaya de la mano de un crecimiento personal del individuo puesto que, con los años, se ha podido demostrar que cuando el alumnado crece internamente también crece su actitud en relación con el aprendizaje, en este caso el matemático. A lo largo de este artículo se plantea una reflexión sobre el papel del docente dentro del aula de matemáticas, la importancia de su función por encima del método elegido y la necesidad de aportar propuestas matemáticas lo suficientemente variadas y enriquecedoras que permitan llegar a todo el alumnado. Una reflexión profunda que tiene como objetivo fundamental ayudar al lector a abrir su mente hacia una nueva filosofía educativa que va más allá de la metodología que elija, una filosofía que permita a niños y niñas vivir a la vez que aprenden matemáticas.

Estimating parameters of the CAPM under generalised asymmetric student-t distribution—The case of the Warsaw Stock Exchange sectoral indices
Authors: Pipień Mateusz
Published: August 2024

This paper analyses selected sub-indices listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) covering seven sectors: construction, IT, media, real estate, fuel, food, and telecommunications, from 3 January 2006 to 29 May 2020. We use daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly data, resulting in 3600 daily, 751 weekly, 172 monthly, and 56 quarterly observations. The WIG index quotations were used to approximate the market portfolio and the Poland 10Y government bond yields for the risk-free rate. We have estimated the parameter β in CAPM regression using three different stochastic assumptions for the error term. The basic stochastic framework of the model utilises the generalised asymmetric student-t distribution (GAST). We have also estimated the parameter β based on the symmetric version of the GAST distribution and on the Gaussian one. These models can be treated as special cases of the basic framework. The estimates of the β parameter are influenced by the assumptions made about the error term. The data indicates that except for WIG-Paliwa, the Gaussian error term leads to larger β estimates than other non-Gaussian specifications. The inference about the shape parameters is not very certain, and the data does not strongly support the two-piece mechanism that enforces the asymmetry of the error term distribution. Furthermore, the estimates of the β parameter depend strongly on the frequency of the analysed series.
The nexus between the shadow economy and financial development in Uganda
Authors: Esaku Stephen , Mugoda Salmon
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the nexus between the shadow economy and financial development in Uganda, making use of yearly time series data over the period 1991 to 2017, and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method is applied. Findings are quite telling. We find that financial development reduces the shadow economy in a significant manner, in both the long- and short-run. This finding is robust to the use of alternative measures of financial development. Our results have far-reaching implications. Firstly, findings indicate that financial structure plays a key role in mitigating the increase of the shadow economy given that the financial sector can provide access to credit that eases financial constraints faced by entrepreneurs. Thus, a well-functioning financial sector could facilitate access to credit by entrepreneurs, which reduces their motivation to operate underground. These findings seem to suggest that reforming financial institutions to facilitate improved access to domestic credit could help tackle widespread informality in developing economies. Additionally, minimizing informality also requires reforming the political system, institutional framework, and macroeconomic environment to become responsive to the needs of businesses.

Published: August 2024

The benefits of information system users are an important topic in research on information system implementation in general as well as in hospital information systems in particular. The study is applying structural equation modelling in determining the factors affecting personal benefits of information system users, with the antecedents being the combination of perspectives, and the outcomes including individual user results of the system in hospitals. The study was conducted in two phases: a preliminary study and a formal study. The preliminary study aimed to adjust and supplement the observed variables to be suitable for the actual conditions in Vietnam by conducting a preliminary survey with a questionnaire involving 55 samples to assess the internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the measurement scales. The formal quantitative study, which employed linear structural analysis with PLS-SEM, was conducted on 215 samples of individuals who had previously used information systems in several hospitals in Vietnam. The proposed model explained 80.6% of the variance in user engagement with the system and 50.6% of the variance in user satisfaction when using the information system. In more detail, for user benefits, it is worth noting that the strongest impact intensity belongs to information quality and the weakest belongs to support structure. In addition, confidence in one’s own abilities also has a high impact on user benefits when using the information system.

Authors: Nichelason Amy E. , Williams Shelby R. , Pinto Alex , Bean Isabella
Published: August 2024

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate factors that influence client selection of a veterinary pharmacy and assess client perception of the impact of online pharmacies on veterinary clinics.

METHODS

Survey data and satisfaction metrics were compared between online pharmacies, a teaching hospital pharmacy (UW Veterinary Care), and primary care veterinary clinics between March and April 2023. Online pharmacy users were asked about perceived impact of online pharmacies on veterinary clinics. Personal values were correlated with the likelihood of using a pharmacy.

RESULTS

158 surveys were analyzed; 32.9% of respondents used an online pharmacy. Of those, 20% used a veterinary-affiliated online pharmacy. Convenience was the value most liked by online pharmacy and primary care clinic users. Online users reported liking price most, whereas veterinary clinic pharmacy users (UW Veterinary Care and primary care clinics) reported liking communication and trust. Online users ranked price as more important, whereas veterinary clinic users ranked personalized experience (caring, explanations, veterinary recommended) as more important. Regardless of pharmacy type, satisfaction scores were high. Most online users perceived a negative impact of online pharmacies on veterinary clinics; this did not change reported usage.

CONCLUSIONS

Online and veterinary clinic users prioritized different values. Online users prioritized price and veterinary clinic users prioritized personalized experience. Online usage was not influenced by perceived impact.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

For veterinary clinics attempting to increase revenue, appealing to these 2 distinct driving values is essential. Offering practice-directed online pharmacies with competitive and transparent pricing could procure online consumers, while maintaining a personalized experience remains important for consumers purchasing prescriptions in-house.

Published: August 2024

Mekarsari Fruit Park, situated in Bogor, boasts an extensive collection of 226 fruit species. Apart from vegetables and ornamentals, fruit plants play a significant role as hosts for whiteflies. Whitefly infestations can disrupt photosynthesis and respiration, affect the aesthetics of ornamental plants, and transmit plant diseases caused by viruses. The primary objective of this study was to assess the species diversity of whiteflies and their host ranges within Mekarsari Fruit Park. Purposive sampling was employed, followed by preparing collected samples for microscope slides and identification. A total of 20 whitefly species were collected from 56 fruit plant species spanning 20 different families. Of the 20 collected species, 16 were successfully identified, while four remained morphospecies. These whiteflies were categorized into two subfamilies: 17 species belonging to the Aleyrodinae subfamily and three species belonging to the Aleurodicinae subfamily. Paraleyrodes minei emerged as the most prevalent whitefly species, infesting 14 host plants across 11 families. Furthermore, the study revealed that 14 whitefly species were found exclusively on one fruit plant species, one whitefly species on two fruit plant species within the same family, and seven whitefly species on multiple fruit plant families. The Euphorbiaceae and Rubiaceae families were the most susceptible to whitefly infestation among the fruit plants.

Authors: Sari Winda Purnama , Ekawati Fitri , Jamsari Jamsari
Published: August 2024

Weeds are plants whose presence is unwanted by humans because of competition with cultivated plants for nutrients, sunlight, and growing space, producing allelochemicals that interfere with plant growth, reduce production and product quality, and increase farming costs. The continuous use of synthetic herbicides has adverse effects on the environment and health, so it is necessary to seek a weed control mechanism that is more efficient and environmentally friendly. One is utilizing secondary metabolites, namely sunflower plant allelochemicals, that can control weeds. This study aims to determine the response of weeds to the application of extracts of sunflower plant parts as bioherbicides. This research was conducted in three stages: raw material preparation, extraction, and application. The results obtained 17 weed species in the experimental field of Nagari Selayo Tanang Bukit Sileh from 7 families (Asteraceae, Poaceae, Lythraceae, Polygonaceae, Brassicaceae, Caryophyllaceae, and Mazaceae) and two weed classes (broadleaf weeds and grasses). The bioherbicide efficacy of sunflower extract (Helianthus annus L.) has not caused symptoms of toxicity in weeds.

Ethics of Innovation: A Framework for Responsible Innovation Governance
Authors: Morris Nicole
Published: August 2024

Over the past several years, startups that once seemed destined for greatness have failed or collapsed because of fraud committed by the founders. Most notable are the Theranos and FTX business collapses, which culminated in the convictions of two infamous entrepreneurs, Elizabeth Holmes and Sam Bankman-Fired, respectively. Startup innovators are not alone when it comes to morally dubious behavior. According to Retraction Watch, nearly 5000 papers published in science & engineering journals were retracted in 2022. Research misconduct allegations eventually led to the resignation of Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne in July 2023. The research scandal at Stanford received lots of public attention. Absent such public scrutiny, however, organizations are slow to act on allegations of research falsification. This raises several important questions: are these occurrences becoming more frequent? What governance frameworks are available to effectively detect and prevent such misconduct and fraudulent behavior? This Essay examines the current business ethics and corporate governance framework applicable to innovation, argues that it lacks sufficient safeguards to prevent misconduct and promote responsible practices. This Essay offers a two-pronged approach to address the ethical void in innovation. First, the implementation of stricter oversight by federal agencies (such as NSF or NIH), including penalties for non-compliance. Second, the legal profession must play a more active role in shaping and advising on ethical frameworks for responsible innovation. Lawyers can play a crucial role in evaluating both the risks and benefits of innovation, while also utilizing innovative tools to improve legal service delivery. By combining enhanced oversight with deeper legal involvement, we can create a more robust and comprehensive framework that fosters responsible innovation governance.

Background:

Head-mounted display (HMD) arises as an alternative display system for surgery. This study aimed to assess the utility of a stereoscopic HMD for exoscopic neurosurgery.

Methods:

The leading operator and assistants were asked to assess the various aspects of the HMD characteristics compared to the monitor display using a visual analog scale (VAS)-based questionnaire. The VAS score ranged from 0 to 10 (0, HMD was significantly inferior to the monitor; 5, HMD and monitor display were equal; and 10, HMD was significantly superior to the monitor).

Results:

The surgeons and assistants used and evaluated HMD in seven exoscopic surgeries: three tumor removal, one aneurysm clipping, one anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, and two cervical laminectomy surgeries. The leading operators’ assessment of HMD-based surgery was not different from monitor-based surgery; however, the assistants evaluated the field of view, overall image quality, and the assisting procedure as better in MHD-based surgery than monitor-based surgery (P = 0.039, 0.045, and 0.013, respectively).

Conclusion:

HMD-based exoscopic neurosurgery can be performed at a similar quality as monitor-based surgery. Surgical assistants may benefit from using HMD-based surgery.

Published: August 2024

Азербайджанский мугам существовал и жил веками, разрабатывался мастерами и передавался из поколения в поколение. Время от времени появлялись певцы, умевшие писать свои имена золотыми буквами на азербайджанском мугаме, и даже сегодня везде, где есть искусство мугама, упоминаются имена этих певцов. Например, Сеид Шушинский, Хан Шушинский, Джаббар Гарягдыоглу, Абуль-фат Алиев, Шавкат Алекперова, Рубаба Мурадова, Сара Гадимова, Агахан Абдуллаев, Ягуб Мамедов, Ислам Рзаев, Алим Гасымов и др. многим художникам удалось постоянно поднять искусство мугама на высоту.

Azerbaijani mugham has existed and lived for centuries, developed by masters and passed on from generation to generation. From time to time, singers appeared who knew how to write their names in golden letters on Azerbaijani mugham, and even today, wherever there is the art of mugham, the names of these singers are mentioned. For example, Seyid Shushinsky, Khan Shushinsky, Jabbar Garyagdyoglu, Abulfat Aliyev, Shavkat Alekperova, Rubaba Muradova, Sara Gadimova, Agakhan Abdullayev, Yagub Mamedov, Islam Rzayev, Alim Gasimov and others. Many artists managed to constantly raise the art of mugham to a height.
Tuning the band gap and structure from wide gap SrBi3O4Cl3 to narrow gap Bi4O4SeCl2 by aliovalent anion substitution
Authors: Robinson Tom , Safdar Ammara , Still John W , Seymour Ieuan D , Gibson Quinn D
Published: August 2024

Modifying the atomic and electronic structure of materials by chemical substitution is a common method of achieving properties by design. Cations and metal atoms are the most frequent choices for chemical substitution; replacing anions with ones from a different chemical group is unusual due to the very different orbital energies and electronegativities involved. Here we demonstrate full substitution of Se by Cl in the visible band gap material Bi4O4SeCl2 charge balanced y simultaneous replacement of Bi with Sr, all the way to the wide gap photocatalyst material SrBi3O4Cl3. This compositional flexibility is associated with the layer-segregation of Sr and Se atoms. The crystal structure and electronic structure change non-linearly, with a compositional regime of two band gap transitions observed, due to the introduction of in-gap Se states to the electronic structure. The material CaBi3O4Cl3 is also synthesized, revealing the separate effects on the crystal structure of the anion and cation composition. This work presents aliovalent anion substitution in multiple anion materials as a strategy for tuning between narrow and wide gap materials, with properties showing more than one optical transition achievable at intermediate compositions.

A thorough understanding of genomics has paved the way for individualized methods of providing health care that makes use of a persons environment and genes to help treat diagnose or prevent disease. Being the backbone of the healthcare team nurses need to be prepared to keep up with advances in genomics and the resulting transformation of the healthcare industry. The aim of the present research was to assess the knowledge and readiness in genomic nursing practice.Methods Using a convenient sampling 148 third- and fourth-year BSc nursing students were recruited for this cross-sectional descriptive design study. A standardized knowledge questionnaire on genomic nursing and a readiness rating scale was used to gather data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to analyze the data.Results The results revealed that more than half of the respondents 99 67 had poor 45 30 had satisfactory and 4 3 had a good level of knowledge regarding genomic nursing. Majority of the respondents 78 115 reported non-readiness in practicing genomic nursing whereas only 22 33 were ready to practice genomic nursing. There was no significant correlation between baseline variables and knowledge scores regarding genomic nursing at 0.05 level of significance.Conclusion The results of the current study revealed that among 148 participants third and final year BSc nursing students majority of students lacked knowledge regarding genomic nursing.

Authors: FADILAH EKA
Published: August 2024

Witnessing the plethora of sorry as one of the apologetic strategies in daily conversation has enthralled scholars in pragmatics, compelling them to redefine and refine its usage. This study aims twofold: to investigate prototypes of chat formula mismatches of sorry – which also includes maaf, maap, sori, and ngapunten (Javanese) – derived from WhatsApp chats and to unravel contextual factors underlying those mismatches seen from a sociopragmatic perspective. We collected 300 chat conversations, with 65% of them displaying formula mismatches in its use. The findings reveal emergent prototypes of chatting formula mismatches of those apologetic expressions, which include sarcasm, insecurity, assertive power, self-blame, disrespect, resentment, and humor. These prototypes are influenced by the level of familiarity and equal status between the sender and recipient. Furthermore, discourse markers such as ya, kan, deh, and other word fillers play a role in transcending conventional apologies to foster intimacy and harmony. This research provides a nuanced understanding of contextualized apology strategies and contributes to future pragmatics studies.

Authorial Identities in Chemistry and Language Studies: A Corpus-Based Study of English and Indonesian Research Articles

Published: August 2024

In academic writing, first-person pronouns not only replace the author’s name but also stand out as significant elements of traditional conventions. Consequently, an ongoing debate exists among scholars regarding the permissibility of specific first-person pronouns in certain disciplines. Despite extensive research both supporting and opposing the permissibility of specific first-person pronouns, more empirical evidence is needed, particularly in the fields of chemistry and language studies. This study examines the usage of first-person plural pronouns in English (we, our, and us) and Indonesian (kami, kita) and their clusivity in 40 research articles published by The Modern Language Journal, Nature Chemistry Journal, Litera Journal, and Alchemy Journal in the range 2021 to 2023. This research aims to highlight differences in how authors from diverse disciplines—chemistry and language studies—situate themselves in academic writing. To achieve this, we constructed two specialized corpora: the English Corpus of Language Studies and Chemistry (Encolanche) and the Indonesian Corpus of Language Studies and Chemistry (Indolanche). We utilized Sketch Engine, an online tool facilitating word listing and concordance, for inspection during the research process. A qualitative analysis explored clusivity and the author’s identity expressed through each linguistic form. Classification of authorial identities followed a taxonomy proposed by Martín (2003). Our results reveal frequent use of the pronoun we in Encolanche, with exclusive clusivity primarily employed to express the author as the experiment conductor. In contrast, Indolanche exhibits infrequent use of personal pronouns.
