contribution of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy to the electrical power sector is rapidly rising. Photovoltaic generators (PVGs) account for 47% of small network renewable energy sources (RESs). This paper focuses on a strategy to control the photovoltaic power systems connected to the grid for a residential building in the city of Baghdad, based on the solar radiation which is taken from average NASA data to make a scientifically reliable and significant contribution to the sustainable energy supply and to further improve the performance and stability of the power system, a comprehensive technique is being carried out, This investigation includes an examination of various control techniques, such as maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for grid-connected single-phase photovoltaic inverters. This research aims to develop efficient and effective control strategies for power flow management in grid-connected photovoltaic systems, to reduce energy consumption. By advancing our understanding of power flow management techniques, we can help to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy future. Phase locked loop (PLL) circuit is implemented to synchronize with the domestic 11 kV/380 V, 250 kVA transformer. The model in this work includes the current and voltage regulator and smart meters. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control systems can regulate the energy flow and guarantee the efficient transmission of maximum power to the grid. The perturb and observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance Algorithm (IC) are used to estimate the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of the Solar Panel. The initial cost of the PV used, according to the prevailing prices in Baghdad at the present time, is about 3000 dollars, The results indicate that the PV system that is connected to the grid can substantially reduce the monthly energy consumption and the monthly costs to about 12% and 6% respectively.

Published: April 2024

ne of the critical characteristics that must be regulated in today's industry is temperature. It is crucial that this temperature regulation must be exact and quick. Since they are not adjusted to their full capability, the controller that used to manage the performance of the electric furnace's temperature is no better than that of the conventional controllers. It has a significant amount of overshoot and excessively long rising and settling times. This work introduces a PID controller based on the Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm (GWO) so that to address the PID controller's low accuracy, long rising time, and long settling time. Additionally, Field Programmable Gate-Array (FPGA) is used to execute the suggested control scheme because of its large data storage capacity, low energy consumption, and quick operation. Due to their accessibility, the Spartan-6 (XC6SLX45T-3FGG484) board and Xilinx system generator blocks are used in the simulation. The results stated that the proposed approach is faster and more settle in tuning PID parameters and also the overshoot was lower; thus, it outperformed on the traditional methods.

Published: April 2024

Asphalt modified with reused rubber from vehicle tires was considered subject to a severe challenge in two directions, the first is the possibility of waste disposal to maintain sustainable infrastructure, and the second is the clear and tangible ability to enhance the characteristics of asphalt mortars and mixes. The need for asphalt cement and mixtures improvement has become unavoidable as a result of the main failure sorts related to the flexible pavement, which are represented by the cracking and rutting, that result from fatigue in the road due to the excessive application of loads and the high tire pressures of vehicles nowadays. The binder may be able to lessen asphalt paving issues and enhance the pavement's overall functionality. Following up on earlier research, it was found that rubber is one of the key components in enhancing the durability and temperature tolerance of modified asphalt cement. The aim of this study is to track the improvement in the rubber-modified asphalt binder as it was observed that the introduction of tire fracture rubber improved the quality of asphalt cement in addition to increasing the cracking factor (G*/Sin), which indicates a greater resistance to cracking. Furthermore, it is believed that the use of rubber crumbs to enhance the properties of asphalt cement will improve the sustainability of asphalt pavement economically and environmentally.

Authors: Jayarathne R.S.L.
Published: April 2024

Job involvement is used for increasing employee productivity by enhancing employee participation and commitment. By considering the high turnover ratio, individual sales targets vs. branch sales targets and incentive compensation system, in here an attempt is made to study the impact of job involvement towards organisational commitment in terms of affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment with special reference to the branch managers in insurance companies in Sri Lanka.  The population of the study was the branch managers who are working in the insurance companies in Sri Lanka and hundred branch managers were taken as the sample by using a simple random sampling method. To measure the organisational commitment, Allen and Meyer’s scale was used and to measure the job involvement, ten-item job involvement scale developed by Kanungo was used. The responses for the questionnaire were rated 1-5 with the use of five- point Likert scale, indicating strongly agree to strongly disagree. Data were analysed by using SPSS and data was normality distributed. The reliability was tested with Cronbach’s alpha and accordingly, variables were considered as acceptable in terms of reliability. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and simple regression analysis were used to analyse the collected data. The findings of the study revealed that all the hypotheses developed in this study got significant support and proved that job involvement has a significant positive impact on organisational commitment. Further, the study findings demonstrate that job involvement is a powerful weapon to increase the organisational commitment in terms of affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment in the insurance industry. Therefore, the managers should take a distinct interest to make every effort to increase the level of job involvement by paying more attention to job involvement factors, being sensitive to their employees’ needs, providing new types of training and development to employees, etc. It can be suggested to replicate future research by increasing sample size and adding individualistic characteristics as control variables.

The potential usage of the radio medium and its implications for marketing have not been extensively explored in the Sri Lankan context. Media expenditure in Sri Lanka continues to be driven by perceptions rather than evidence. Brand equity and its measures are essential intangible assets in marketing communication, and they are instrumental in measuring marketing effectiveness. We conducted this study to examine the relative strength of the radio medium in driving various media attributes towards building brand equity and to investigate the differences between expert perceptions and consumer-based findings regarding the relative strength of the radio medium. Telephone surveys were conducted using a structured questionnaire in the Western Province of Sri Lanka among a randomly selected sample of four hundred twenty-five respondents (425) from an already recruited sample drawn by a reputed marketing research organisation and among a sample of media experts representing more than 50% of the Sri Lankan media industry. Responses were analysed using ordered logistic regression analysis, descriptive analysis, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. Findings reveal that the radio medium is more potent than press media but less potent than television and social media in delivering media attributes. The results also indicate the differences between expert perception and consumer-based evidence on how strong the radio media advertising strategies are and how strong the radio medium is as a brand recall medium compared to the other media. These research findings provide implications for the media industry in Sri Lanka by highlighting the need for re-evaluating the current industry practise in allocating budgets across media, giving the direction for media planners in deciding the role of each media channel in delivering the campaign objectives and the potential of the radio medium in delivering recall attributes.

Analysis of Consumers’ Demographic Characteristics on Buying Behaviour Factors towards Life and Health Insurance Policies
Authors: Biradar Shivkumar L. , Kshirsagar Rajni
Published: April 2024

The last two years taught us various lessons, including the importance of life security in such tough times. Life insurance is the cover that secures one’s future and provides a financial support. The Indian insurance industry is growing exponentially with the rising number of policyholders. Companies are offering policy options in both the public and private sector. Today’s Indian policy consumer is more aware and takes informed decisions while buying life insurance. Growing literacy, rising income, increasing spending capacity, and the availability of alternatives made the insurance industry an attractive avenue for security and investment. The paper aims to study the awareness level of insurance in respondents and to understand the behavioural aspects of insurance purchase decisions along with demographic factors of life and health insurance. The current study is descriptive in nature, based on primary data collected through a detailed structured questionnaire. The sample size for the study included 202 respondents from Solapur belonging to different gender, age and education groups. Appropriate statistical tools such as percentage, weighted average, rank correlation, chi-square and t-test have been used on the basis of demographic parameters to analyse the data. From the overall study, it can be concluded that for robust growth and deep penetration of insurance business, there is a need for customer-centric marketing strategies. The level of awareness about the type of insurance policy and about riders in a term plan is independent of demographic parameters such as gender, level of education, age and locality. Premiums and the return on investment are the prime factors considered while buying a life insurance policy. To avail good quality of medical treatment and risk coverage are primary reasons to prefer health insurance. Diseases waiting period, list of excluded items and no claim bonus are factors considered before buying a health insurance policy. The future growth of insurance sector will depend on, how effectively the insurers are capable of developing a consumer centric product, which is aptly designed to suit the context and how effectively they will be able to amend the perceptions of the Indian consumers and make them conscious of the insurable risks.

Literature on dietary behaviours of the pediatric Crohn’s Disease (CD) population and the relationship between dietary intake and CD activity is limited. Three dietary indices were developed and tested to conduct dietary pattern analysis in pediatric patients with CD consuming a free diet following remission induction via exclusive enteral nutrition (n = 11). Index scores underwent descriptive and inferential analysis. The mean adjusted scores (out of 100) for the Pediatric Western Diet Index, Pediatric Prudent Diet Index, and Pediatric-Adapted 2010 Alternate Healthy Eating Index (PA2010-AHEI) were 29.82 ± 15.22, 34.25 ± 15.18, and 51.50 ± 11.69, respectively. The mean Western-to-Prudent ratio was 0.94 ± 0.55. A significant correlation (r = −0.71) and relationship (F[1, 9] = 9.04, P < 0.05, R2 = 0.501) between the Western-to-Prudent ratio and PA2010-AHEI was found. The results suggest participants were not following a Western or Prudent diet, and were consuming foods not captured by the indices. More research is needed to describe dietary intake of individuals with CD, validate dietary indices in diverse samples, and explore the utility of these indices in CD assessment and treatment. The co-authors hope this work will stimulate/inspire subsequent interprofessional, dietitian-led research on this topic.

Published: April 2024

Background: Craniosynostosis (CS) is a complex condition consisting of the early fusion of one or more cranial sutures in the intrauterine stage. The affected infant exhibits abnormal head shape at time of birth or shortly thereafter. It can be observed in normal individuals (non-syndromic CS or NSCS) or as a part of a multisystem syndrome. The purposes of the present ar-ticle were to carry out a scoping review on Non-Syndromic CS and to discuss the most important findings retrieved. Material and Methods: The steps of this scoping review were as follows: first, to pose a re-search question; second, to identify relevant studies to answer the research question; third, to select and retrieve the studies; fourth, to chart the critical data, and finally, to collate, summarize, and report the results from the most important articles. Relevant articles published over a 20-year period were identified and retrieved from five Internet databases: PubMed; EMBASE; Cochrane Library; Google Scholar, and EBSCO.Results: Fourteen articles were finally included in the present scoping review. The follo-wing four most important clinical issues are discussed: (I) normal cranial development, clinical manifestations, and pathogenesis of NCSC; (II) clinical evaluation of NCSC; (III) treatment and post-surgical follow-up; and (IV) additional considerations.Conclusions: NSCS may be present with associated head shapes. Multiple early surgical re-constructive options are currently available for the disorder. Pediatric Dentistry practitioners must be familiarized with this condition and form part of a multi-approach health team as those responsible for the opportune oral health care of the affected child.

Published: April 2024

The use of sapropel and its derivatives is highlighted as a promising direction for increasing soil fertility. During the preparation and processing of sapropel, one of the operations that allows to reduce its humidity is freezing to negative temperatures. But at the moment there is no information on the required freezing temperature and its effect on the amount of water to be separated. The article presents the results of a study of the process of separation of bound water from solid sapropel particles under the influence of negative temperatures. It was found that to separate the bound water, it is sufficient to cool the sapropel below the freezing point of the water. Further cooling in the range of negative temperatures has no effect on the amount of water to be separated. This effect has been proven experimentally, and the results obtained will reduce the energy intensity of the process.

The Influence of Knowledge Management and Islamic Leadership on Organizational Decision Making for Middle School Muslim Youth Development
Authors: Panduwiyasa Haryasena
Published: April 2024

Islamic youth development and da'wah organizations frequently face constraints in the decision-making process, both those carried out in the secondary level education sector. This is caused by the low effectiveness of the knowledge sharing process carried out between members, the lack of direction and support from the leadership or strategy, and the low quality of information management are the main factors for failure in the knowledge management process in a work program as well as the overall activities of Islamic youth da'wah organizations. The lack of facilities in managing the historical activity track record has hampered the decision-making process in organizational knowledge. Misunderstandings and lack of knowledge also lead to the loss of ghirah (da'wah motivation) and ukhuwah (familial relationships) in Islamic youth da'wah organizations in the education sector. This study aims to prove how knowledge management activities carried out in a structured manner by da'wah organizations, which aim to guide Islamic youth in high school (SMA/K) and junior high school (SMP) can transform information into valuable assets in managing Islamic da'wah operations and decision making that need to be carried out by the organization in the long term based on the determining factors, including managing aspects of knowledge management and Islamic-based leadership character. The methods and data processing carried out in this study used a quantitative-confirmatory approach and used multiple linear regression analysis, through the distribution of questionnaires to members of the XYZ high school Muslim youth development organization in Bandung Regency. The results and conclusions of this study prove that there is a significant positive influence from the application of knowledge management carried out in a structured manner up to 47.1% and Islamic-based leadership abilities up to 41.9%, on the decision-making process of Muslim youth development organizations in secondary schools, as well as  Islamic-based education in general.

Despite having identical demographic composition with the presence of the Muslim majority, the expression of Islam in Indonesia and Malaysia has a different nuance. Islam in Indonesia is more varied and open, while Islam in Malaysia is more centralized and formal. These different expressions must be influenced by the differences of Islamic education in the two countries. This study intends to examine the Islamic education system in Indonesia and Malaysia by describing the history of its development. By referring to library sources, this study conducted a qualitative analysis with the help of Michel Foucault's genealogical theory. With this theory, the author reveals the changes that have occurred throughout the history of Islamic education in Indonesia and Malaysia. This study found that Islamic education in Indonesia and Malaysia departed from the same origin: traditional Islamic learning. Differences begin to emerge when the British government accommodated Islamic education in the vernacular education system in Malaysia, while the Dutch marginalized Islamic education in Indonesia. The Malaysian government further integrated Islamic education into the national education system, while the Indonesian government recognized Islamic education in an independent form outside of state management. As a result, Islamic education in Indonesia has developed adaptively to the temporal challenges by producing diverse forms of education, while Islamic education in Malaysia is stagnating because of the politization. Government policy also influenced this adaptive character where the strict approach of the Dutch colonial government required Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia to be more independent and creative.

VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) is one of the difficulties faced by society in the 5.0 era, which is a combination of the virtual world and the physical world. Therefore, the global community must adapt quickly and be malleable to face the changes. The 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication) are essential 21st century skills. To keep up with global trends, the Indonesian government has implemented a curriculum that emphasizes individual initiative and responsibility. This study aims at analyzing the Merdeka Belajar curriculum by using quality education in Islamic perspective. Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to learn) is the latest government policy related to the education curriculum, and hence, islamic perspective - based analysis needs to be conducted to see how this concept of Merdeka Belajar is in Islamic education. This study was a descriptive qualitative study by using literature studies to collect the data. The results showed that the government's Merdeka Belajar curriculum system can accommodate the skills needed for the society 5.0 era. The concepts and programs of Merdeka Belajar can improve critical and creative thinking skills, and develop communication and collaboration skills as well. Merdeka Belajar directs students to be able to compete globally. Holistic Islamic education, however, does not only appreciate the importance of building skills, but also creates learning that glorifies knowledge without reducing Islamic values. Therefore, the independent current curriculum applied needs to be adjusted to keep in line with both the values and the 21st century skill development.
