Technological developments have had a major impact on the lifestyle of Indonesian people through sophisticated communication tools such as smartphones and gadgets. However, the use of this technology is still not optimal. In the Indonesian context, computer and information technology, especially Intelligent Systems, has changed the way people work, interact and live. One significant implementation of Smart Systems is Smart Agriculture, which uses information and communication technology to increase agricultural productivity. The application of Greenhouse technology and hydroponic methods in agriculture supports more efficient and productive plant growth. The use of TDS sensors to measure nutrient concentrations in water in the hydroponic method helps ensure optimal conditions. In this research, the automation of providing nutrition to lettuce plants has been carried out well according to predetermined conditions. The solution to solve the problem that occurs is to use an automatic nutrition system. This system can control the amount and frequency of nutrients provided accurately and efficiently, without depending on the skill and caution of the hydroponic farmer. In addition, this system also ensures that nutrients are provided consistently and safely for farmers and the environment. This technology utilizes sensors and automation systems to monitor nutritional conditions in the planting media in real-time and farmers can ensure that their plants receive the nutrients they need and have maximum yields. This system also helps farmers speed up the plant growth process and saves time and energy.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Anastomotic leaks are the most feared complications after surgery in patients with Crohn’s disease. Identifying associated risk factors is crucial for prevention. We aimed to evaluate possible risk factors for anastomotic complications in our case series.

Material and Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, observational study. Eighty-six patients who underwent intestinal resection due to Crohn’s disease at the Department of General Surgery, Marmara University, Faculty of Medicine, from 2015 to 2023 were enrolled. Adult patients of either sex who are over 18 years old were included. Cases, where the anastomosis was defunctioned with a proximal diverting ileostomy or colostomy were excluded from the study.

Results: The mean (StD) age was 34.8 (14.4) years, and 50 patients (58.1%) were male. Twenty-five patients had post-operative complications (29.1%), and 10 of them (11.6%) were above grade three according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Anastomotic leakage was observed in two, intra-abdominal collection in two, sepsis in two, enterocutaneous fistula in three, and ileus in the remaining one. While the albumin value <3 gr/dL (OR 5.15, p<0.03) and pre-operative medical treatment (OR= 4.79; p= 0.05) were associated with higher odds of post-operative overall complications, only hypoalbuminemia 3 g/dL (OR= 14.3; p= 0.04) was associated with a higher probability of post-operative anastomotic/septic complications.

Conclusion: In patients with pre-operative hypoalbuminemia, temporary stoma creation should be considered due to the potential increased risk of high anastomotic complications. The medical treatments should be discontinued in the pre-operative period due to the increased risk of complications.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Laparoscopic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (LAPD) is being performed in several centers worldwide. The proportion of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary carcinoma (PAC) has recently increased, owing to its potential benefits. However, the safety and feasibility of LAPD have not yet been standardized. In this study, it was aimed to report our experience with LAPD in 50 patients.

Material and Methods: Fifty patients with resectable PAC who underwent LAPD between June 2021 and August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Mean age of the study group was 49.9 ± 12 years, and most were females (54%). Ampullary carcinoma was the most common type (58%). Mean operative time and estimated blood loss were 460 ± 40 minutes and 426 ± 156 mL, respectively. Four patients had suspected portal vein involvement, and two patients had hemorrhage during uncinate process dissection, resulting in conversion to open surgery. Severe post-operative morbidity was noted in 13 (26%) patients. Following surgery, Grade B post-operative pancreatic fistula was present in 26% of patients, whereas Grade B and C delayed gastric emptying was present in 18% and 2% of patients, respectively. Mean hospital stay was 9.4 ± 2.8 days. Mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 13.4 ± 4. All patients underwent R0 resection, and no mortality was noted during the 30-day follow-up period.

Conclusion: LAPD is a feasible procedure for resectable PAC offering good oncological outcomes and minimal complications. It can be performed effectively by experienced surgeons in specialized centers.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical treatment methods and outcomes of difficult duodenal defects due to perforation.

Material and Methods: Data of patients who had undergone surgery for difficult duodenal defect between January 2012 and November 2022 were collected. Duodenal defect size of 2 cm or more was defined as difficult duodenal defect. Characteristics of the patients, the etiology of perforation, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores, Mannheim peritonitis index (MPI), surgical treatment, need for re-operation, and morbidity and mortality were evaluated.

Results: Nineteen patients were detected. Etiology was peptic ulcer perforation in 12 (63.1%) patients, aortaduodenal fistula in 2 (10.5%), tumor implant in 2 (10.5%), cholecystoduodenal fistula in 1 (5.2%), endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) in 1 (5.2%), and cholecystectomy related injury in 1 (5.2%) patient. The first surgical procedure was duodenoraphy + omentopexy in 8 (42.1%), Graham repair in 5 (26.3%), duodenal segment 3-4 resection and Roux-en-Y side to side duodenojejunostomy in 4 (21.0%), Roux-en-Y side to side duodenojejunostomy in 1 (0.5%), and 1 (0.5%) subtotal gastrectomy + duodenum 1st part resection + Roux-en-Y gastroenterostomy, cholecystectomy and external biliary drainage via cystic duct. Four patients who had previously undergone Graham repair (3) and duodenoraphy + omentopexy (1) required salvage surgery. As a salvage surgery; 1 end-to-side and 3 side-to-side Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomies were performed. Overall, mortality occurred in 6 (31.6%) patients. High ASA score and MPI were considered as significant risk factors for mortality (p= 0.015, p= 0.002).

Conclusion: Primary repair techniques can be used in the surgical treatment of difficult duodenal defects when peritonitis is not severe and tensionfree repair is possible. Otherwise, duodenojejunostomy may be preferred as a fast, easy, and safe technique for both initial and salvage surgeries.

The purpose of this study was to provide data analysis regarding the effect of allowance frequency on Junior Tourism Management students of National University-Baliwag and their savings allocation. Subsequently, this study was done to understand how the students often rely on allowances for their saving portion, spending behavior, and financial goals. This study used the descriptive correlational method. A combination of a researcher-made and standardized questionnaire by Thung, et al. (2012) was used as an instrument for data collection. The study’s findings revealed that the students who receive their allowances more frequently, particularly daily, tend to have a higher perception of their financial well-being. Even though they grasp the significance of saving, only a small fraction of the allowance is allocated toward savings. Therefore, the researchers conclude that allowance frequency is not a significant factor in savings allocation. This emphasizes the need for practical financial education to bridge the gap between knowledge and saving behavior.
National Security and Nigerian Foreign Policy in a Globalizing World
Authors: OKONKWO Nnamdi
Published: June 2024

Nigeria’s emergence at the global scene in 1960 was heralded with great excitement across the world. Her potential prosperity was strong enough to match her promising and purposive behavior at the international arena. Her radical and swift disposition to issues that borders on national interest, national security and liberation of Africa left no one in doubt about her conduct of independent foreign policy. Sadly, however, corruption and economic mismanagement which resulted to national impoverishment and sequential collapse of her republics also witnessed Nigeria’s foreign policy took a dive to the realm of timidity. This lack luster conduct has raised doubts about the capacity of a sovereign Nigerian State. In an intensely globalizing world order, therefore, the fact of eroding state sovereignty has had severe implication for Nigerian national security in particular and her overall developmental drive in general. A quantitative study which relied extensively on secondary data including official reports, published and unpublished textbooks, peer reviewed journals and newspaper editorials, the paper adopted as its theoretical framework dependency strand of the neo-Marxist political economy. The paper went on to argue that Nigerian’s dependent economy cannot sustain a purposive and dynamic foreign policy that guarantees national security. Relying on study findings, the paper recommends that in a globalizing world order, skills of foreign policy experts as well as sound economic measures be harnessed by Nigerian policy class to navigate through the thorny but necessary route to national security.

Published: June 2024

This article sought to evaluate the promotion of inclusivity through multicultural education in tertiary institutions. Multicultural education is concerned with the acknowledgement that students are different in their cultural approach to education and lecturers are expected to take cognisance of the differences in a manner, which increase tolerance and diversity. The article evaluated the promotion of inclusivity through the practice of multicultural education in teacher’s colleges. Since the focus of this study is also concerned with the opinions, attitudes and beliefs held by student teachers, a case study design was used. Structured interview schedules and focus group discussions were utilised in the data collection process to ensure data triangulation. A sample of twenty students who are representative of the five ethnic groups in the college and five lecturers were used as participants to the research study. The five ethnic groups which the research focused on are Ndebele, Tonga, Kalanga, Nambya and Shona. The researchers found out that most participants understood the different curriculum activities that celebrated the diverse cultures of students in tertiary institutions. The research study further revealed that whilst the different cultures are given prominence in the different curriculum activities more inclusion of cultural activities involving the formerly marginalised languages like Chi Tonga, Chi Nambya and Chi Kalanga is needed. The research study recommended that tertiary institutions need to establish robust initiatives that celebrate the different cultures that define the student population. This study is helpful to tertiary institutions and the community as it provides information on practices that promote acceptance and acknowledgement of cultural diversity.

Theology-Guided Management Model: Purpose and Values for the Profiling of Diaconal Organizations
Authors: Lee Corinna
Published: June 2024

The recognizability of a Christian theological profile and the associated credibility of diaconal organizations in Germany represents an increasing challenge for management. This article therefore addresses the question of how theologians, theological reflection and lived faith can regain relevance in diaconal organizations today? This article is an excerpt from the research paper published by the author in 2022 at the Institute for Diaconal Studies and Diaconal Management in Bielefeld-Bethel, Germany. To analyze and work on the topic, the author used theological, business and communication science approaches and combined them with her practical professional experience. On this basis, the author  has developed the Theology-Guided Management Model (TGMM). The TGMM unfolds in five steps how diaconal organizations can identify their purpose and incorporate it into their corporate structures and processes using values (theology). The key to this lies in value-led communication processes.

Authors: Nole Otniel Aurelius , Adi Suwarto
Published: June 2024

Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) is a beautiful space being collectively realized. It is a central symbol of the state and an affirmation of the meaning of mapping in each region. In this research, researchers argued that religious communities have significance in responding to public policy through the provision of constructive dialogue as a response. This research aimed to suggest the significance of interreligious dialogue support for IKN. For this purpose, researchers used a qualitative method with a literature review approach. Researchers found that interreligious dialogue can positively support the development of IKN for the welfare of the people. Dialogue signifies an altruistic attitude, collective action, awareness of global responsibility in interreligious nature, and implications that give birth to social capital from religious people. So, interreligious dialogue is essential in encouraging people to reflect and act on the goodness in supporting the implementation of IKN.

Smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain have revolutionized decentralized applications (dApps) but remain vulnerable to various security threats. In response, this paper introduces EthereumGuard, a pioneering Embedded Intrusion Detection System (EIDS) designed to bolster the security of smart contracts. By embedding intrusion detection mechanisms directly within contract code, EthereumGuard proactively monitors and identifies anomalous behavior, enabling swift responses to potential attacks. Leveraging blockchain transparency and deterministic execution, EthereumGuard offers robust protection against a spectrum of threats, including reentrancy and denial-of-service attacks.

Prediction and alignment of multiple sequences is the core methodology for information extraction in proteins. The sequence of grouping accuracy predicts the match score of proteins. In recent years, protein sequence alignment has emerged as a critical task in bioinformatics studies. There are two main methods for sequence alignment: pair-wise and multiple sequence alignment. MSA methods have some limitations which were revealed by prior benchmark studies. We have proposed a new benchmark framework for protein grouping based on a machine-learning algorithm. The proposed algorithm is a cascaded vector machine with three levels for data sampling and normalization of protein data. The proposed algorithm was simulated in MATLAB tools and analyzed using the standard parameters of prediction. The analysis of the results suggests that proposed algorithm is efficient than CNN and RNN.
Security threats and mitigation techniques affecting trust computation in cloud computing

Cloud Computing is the big evolution in the Information Technology industry. From giant organizations to small retail shops, everyone is moving to the cloud. Till now the Zettabytes of data are already migrated to cloud from private systems, and it is still growing. The actual concern starts when the data is being transferred, stored in some cloud storage, and then accessed. Attackers may attack with various techniques and can steal your data leading to severe security issues. Cloud Service Providers (CSP) must have a robust mechanism to protect their cloud resources from such attacks and ensure the data confidentiality, integrity, and security. If there are any loopholes, it will badly affect the trust computation of that CSP. In this paper we have done a comprehensive study and analysis of the threats in cloud computing which can affect the trust computation of CSPs and discussed the mitigations to those threats.
Missing relation prediction in knowledge graph using local and neighbour aware entity embedding
Authors: Khobragade Anish , Patil Sanket , Rathi Harsha , Ghumbre Shashikant
Published: June 2024

Predicting relations involves deducing the absent connections between entities within a knowledge graph. Knowledge graph embedding has recently emerged as a technique to represent entities and their relationships in a condensed vector space. While effective for entity prediction tasks, this approach escalates in complexity, particularly for extensive knowledge graphs. This study introduces a new method for relation prediction in knowledge graphs, employing a mechanism termed Local and Neighbor Aware Entity Embedding (LNAEE). LNAEE utilizes skip-gram initialization to capture local entity features at the triple level. It then employs an attention mechanism to update the central entity’s features based on its immediate neighbors. Finally, a multilayer neural network predicts the most likely relationship type between the given entity pair. LNAEE is streamlined and less intricate owing to the reduced relation search space. Benchmark dataset experiments demonstrate that LNAEE outperforms the baselines. This makes LNAEE ideal for applications requiring a lightweight and affordable model for knowledge graph enrichment.

Published: June 2024

Graph theory is quickly becoming an important area of research due to its numerous applications in areas like cryptography, coding theory, communication networks and their security. In this paper a super-encryption method of graphs is proposed via matricial approach for maintaining confidentiality in communicating the messages with two layers of encryption by taking the first level of encryption as the incidence matrix. The message is further encrypted using Fibonacci numbers (taken in matrix form) by adding to the corresponding elements of the product of the incidence matrix of the graph and message (taken as diagonal matrix). Here the graph can be taken as private key. The matrix so formed can be treated as an adjacency matrix which in turn can be represented as a graph and will be sent to the receiver as super encrypted message. The receiver writes the adjacency matrix corresponding to the graph, then subtracts the Fibonacci matrix from adjacency matrix and then multiplies it with the inverse of incidence matrix. Finally, receiver decrypts the message using the private key shared.

Published: June 2024

Security and privacy are two intertwined pillars of any communication network. Blockchain plays a pivotal role to achieve this in today’s market place. Blockchain network has versatile application domain in today’s era as it provides transparency, robustness, and security. In this paper a hybrid model is design using Proof of Temporal Trust (PoTT) and Proof of Spatial Trust (PoST) to articulate attack-aware context-based blockchain model. This novel approach considers two perspectives temporal and spatial of consensus mechanisms. PoTT deals with miner evaluation based on delay in mining, throughput, energy requirement etc. whereas PoST deals with security issue. By synergistically combining PoTT and PoST, our model improves the mining speed by 4.5%, reduces energy consumption by 4.9%, and enhances throughput by 10.5% even under adverse conditions of targeted attacks. This hybrid model facilitates holistic, robust, high-performance technique. Through extensive simulations and real-world scenarios, we validate the efficacy and efficiency of our proposed model, marking a significant advancement in consensus algorithms for context-aware blockchains.

Published: June 2024

Detecting and recognizing the license plates in hazy or foggy weather conditions is a challenging task. The paper derived a mathematical MAC-Generative Network (MAC-GN) using Unpaired Multi-head Attention mechanism based on CycleGAN. Unlike the basic generator architecture of cycleGAN, the derived MAC-GN adds a multi-head attention mechanism to the encoder and the decoder for generating new sample images. CycleGAN uses a cycle-consistency loss to enforce the mapping between the noisy and clear license plate images. The derived MAC-GN used patch GAN as discriminator system with the ability to generate high-quality, high-resolution images with fine details and textures. The MAC-GN is evaluated using three image quality assessment metrics: Peak signal-to-Noise Ratio, Structural Similarity Index Measure and Perception based Image Quality Evaluator. The experimental result shows that the derived MAC-GN generates a restored, haze free license plate images with a natural image view. The results have shown an improvement of 13.1% on PSNR and 10.12% on SSIM.
