Bread is the basic food for the peoples of the world, and it is a basic pillar of food security and it cannot be dispensed with or considered complete food security without securing the source of bread (tahini), which is usually made from wheat flour, but alarm bells are starting to sound regarding the adequacy of this product, as the population increase continues It increased demand, and other signs of danger appeared on the horizon, such as climate changes and the efforts of producing countries to adopt special methods in marketing and prices, as well as health warnings issued by doctors and nutrition experts from time to time. Economical and safer in terms of health. These alternatives exist and are used effectively in the world, but they are still on a small scale, including Shear bread, corn bread, oat bread, buckwheat bread, potato bread and sweet potatoes. In terms of relieving pressure on wheat as the only source for the bread industry, the problem of the study is summarized in the following question (Is relying on other sources of grains and vegetables effective? Barley, corn, oats, buckwheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the bread industry will contribute to adding new types of bread to the consumer, thus relieving pressure on wheat as the only source for the bread industry? Certainly, and therefore, it will contribute to strengthening Saudi food security and expanding the options of the political decision-maker. In her study, the researcher relied on the analytical research method, which is an approach based on the analysis of the special forces of the state, including raw materials, manufactured, and semi-manufactured goods, and is concerned with the economic aspect in the agricultural, industrial and health fields. The structure of the study has three sources, namely: the first/ the role of bread in food security, the second/ sources of bread and new mixtures and their nutritional value, third/ the possibility of diversifying the sources of bread in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Published: February 2024

Characteristically, the supply-chain managers attempt to optimize profitable operations in the manufacturing and distribution in the supply chain. Integrated supply chain optimization is the large-scale streamlining of the links in the supply chain in such a way as to ensure the optimal operation of the links and actors in the supply chain. However, integrated supply chain optimization especially distribution partnerships has not been extensively studied for its effect on the performance of distribution companies as opposed to manufacturing companies. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to examine the influence of distribution partnerships on supply chain performance of agrochemical production firms in Kenya. The theory of partnerships guided the study which was also grounded on a positivist philosophy. This study employed the descriptive survey design targeting 32 agrochemical production firms with the unit of observation consisting of 96 persons being one management, one procurement and one supply chain staff per firm. The study adopted the census method and used primary data collected using researcher designed questionnaire and interview schedule that were both pretested using the test-retest method for reliability and content and construct validity. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with descriptive statistics comprising frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations while inferential statistics comprised Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. However, distribution partnerships did not have any significant impact on Supply Chain Performance of Agrochemicals production firms in Kenya.The study also recommended that there is need for the firms in the agrochemical supply chain in Kenya to strengthen their distribution partnerships.

An investigation into the building is carried out to determine the suitability and safety of the building and the strength of the structure. The investigations to be carried out include field and laboratory investigations. This is done to determine the feasibility and safety of existing structures. Apart from that, it is also hoped that this investigation can provide recommendations regarding repair or strengthening methods if necessary, referring to the requirements for Structural Concrete for Buildings SNI 2847:2019 and Procedures for Earthquake Resistance Planning for Building and Non-Building Structures SNI 2847:2019. From the results of structural testing using UPV and Hammer Test, it was found that the structural system is an open frame consisting of plates, beams and columns using concrete material, while the joists use steel plinths. The reinforcing steel used uses plain iron U40 as flexible reinforcement with shear reinforcement with U24. The quality of concrete obtained respectively for column f'c 25 MPa, beam f'c 22 MPa and floor slab f'c 22 MPa. Based on the results of the floor leveling survey to record the potential for building subsidence or floor sagging using a water level, it was concluded that there was no slope found in the building as a whole. The deflection that occurs is local and relatively flat. To meet the requirements, strengthening was carried out by increasing the dimensions of the columns and beams, adding plates to the steel profiles on the flange and web.

THE EFFECT OF JATROPHA BLEND FOR DUAL INHIBITION APPLICATION
Authors: Jayagobi Mathanraj , Alpandi Amni Haslinda , Husin Hazlina
Published: February 2024

The oil and gas industry is exposed to fow assurance issues such as wax deposition and scale precipitation. The sector has been tackling this issue using the chemical method while extensive research is being conducted to fnd an efective solution. The conventional method is costly and not eco-friendly. This paper focuses on using Jatropha curcas seed oil (JSO) blended with Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a promising dual inhibition application solution to counter wax and scale deposition simultaneously. The experiment manipulates the temperature and concentration to determine the efciency of the inhibitor and its capability to improve fowability. Flowability and jar tests were conducted to analyze the blend’s ability to act as a dual inhibitor. The results prove that the blend of JSO and EDTA at the concentrations of 3 wt% and 1 wt%, respectively, at 70°C showcased a robust result in wax inhibition by enhancing the fowability of the crude oil. On the other hand, efective scale inhibition is achieved when 1 wt% JSO is blended with 1 wt% of EDTA at 27°C. The results obtained signifes the compatibility of JSO and EDTA blend in dual inhibition application when optimal temperature and concentration are achieved. Dual inhibition application is expected to be a one-stop solution for both wax and scale precipitation that is economically viable and safe.

THERMOPHILIC ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF BIO-WASTE AND BIOGAS UTILIZATION TECHNOLOGIES: A REVIEW
Authors: Kon Wei Yii Louis , Yeek Chia Ho , Jia Jun Tee
Published: February 2024

In this modern era, more individuals have concluded that utilising biogas as a significant energy source is necessary for considering the depletion of fossil fuels and rising concerns about ecological problems, including environmental pollution. Thermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) of bio-waste helps to produce more biogas for future uses. However, several significant AD parameters are to be considered, impacting the sludge properties, such as the temperature, pH, hydraulic retention time (HRT) and mixing systems. One of the most important operational parameters influencing the thermophilic AD process is the temperature, which only occurs between 45°C and 60°C. With that, biogas utilisation has developed from a conventional home fuel to a source of energy for power production, fuel for transportation, and raw materials for contemporary industry. How biogas is used is evolving, and there are more applications for it. Hence, the utilisation of biogas has become varied, and the fields of biogas application are continuously growing. This review aims to focus on the thermophilic anaerobic digestion of bio-waste and biogas, which contain methane, known as combustible renewable energy that can be used as an alternative energy source to replace fossil fuels such as by direct combustion to generate heat and electricity.Keywords: biodegradable, wastewater, anaerobic, thermophilic, biogas utilisation
DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED PH CONTROLLER SYSTEM FOR NFT HYDROPONIC
Authors: Mokhtar Mohammad Syakir , Kamal Mahanijah Md
Published: February 2024

In a hydroponics system, pH level is one of the most important parameters that affect the way plants respond to a hydroponic nutrient solution. The range of pH levels depends on the type of plants in the hydroponic system. The plant can uptake nutrients efficiently if the nutrient solution needs to be consistently controlled within the pH range. It is important to ensure a balanced pH level in nutrient solutions to maintain the proper growth of plants. Therefore, the pH level in the nutrient solution will automatically be controlled in this Arduino-based system. A mini NFT hydroponic system was used as a project set up to measure the performance of a pH sensor. Utilizing the pH sensor, will measure the pH level of the nutrient solution and send the data to Arduino. Then, the Arduino will receive, process and send the output signal to the peristaltic pump to transfer the pH adjuster solution into the nutrient solution tank until the desired pH level is achieved. The data of the pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC) and temperature of the nutrient solution for the Amaranth plant growing period of 23 days are collected. The result obtained shows that the system is capable of automatically maintaining the pH level in the nutrient solution.Keywords: Amaranth round leaf, Arduino, temperature, EC value
CORRELATION TO PREDICT WAX APPEARANCE TEMPERATURE AND CHARACTERISATION OF CRUDE OIL
Authors: Donny Willynna Lamban , Sulaimon Aliyu Adebayo
Published: February 2024

Wax precipitation in oil pipelines and industrial equipment is a severe concern in the petroleum sector as it cancause well bores to block and reduces the efficiency of oil/gas production and transportation processes. The solid particles (wax) will increase the pressure drop in the tubing and eventually cause plugging. Thus, predicting the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) is crucial, the temperature at which the first wax droplets are discovered. Gamma Distribution Function (GDF) parameters were used to develop a characterisation to determine the nature of hydrocarbon mixtures. The parameters of GDF were calculated using the characterisation developed in Python. The oil was characterised by using the calculated GDF parameters until C50+. Based on the estimated value of the parameters of GDF, the type of hydrocarbon mixtures were classified into heavy oil/biodegraded, asphaltenic, paraffinic, waxy, and light oils. The WAT of crude oils was predicted using data analysis techniques of regression analysis. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and R-squared were used to evaluate the model. Multiple regression was the best data analysis method to correlate WAT, giving the highest R-squared value with a lower RMSE than simple regression. This study will assist in predicting the nature of the crude oil. Correct prediction of crude oil’s nature will help manage flow assurance.Keywords: gamma distribution function, data analysis, flow assurance, wax precipitation, characterisation
Effects of Shear Studs and Openings in The Mechanical Performance of Composite Floor Deck using Finite Element Analysis
Authors: Al-Yacouby Ahmad Mahamad , Abdul Rashid Abdul Rais
Published: February 2024

The composite floor deck system is the most popular floor system used in the construction industry, especially in industrial structures. A composite floor deck is a floor system that consists of a steel deck bonded with concrete. The shear bond between the steel deck and concrete slab normally controls the shear capacity of a composite floor deck system. In the current construction industry, shear studs are normally used to improve the shear performance of the structure. However, the literature review shows that there were very limited studies on identifying the efficiency of these shear studs and their effects on the composite floors' mechanical performance. In addition, there were always openings for M&E equipment in the floor deck system, which needs further analysis to determine their effects on themechanical performance of the composite floor deck system. Thus, the main objective of this study was to identify the effects of shear studs and openings on the mechanical performance of composite floor decks. The method adopted in this study was the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using ANSYS software. The outcome of the result has shown that the presence of shear studs improves the mechanical performance of a composite floor deck while the presence of openings reduces the mechanical performance of a composite floor deck system.Keywords: composite floor deck, opening, shear studs, mechanical performance

ACHIEVING DATA TRUTHFULNESS AND PRIVACY PRESERVATION IN DATA MARKETS
Authors: Kokate Rohan , Samarth Umesh , Ramteke Payal , Wakde Sneha
Published: February 2024

As a significant business paradigm, many online information platforms have emerged to satisfy society’s needs for person-specific data, where a service provider collects raw data from data contributors, and then offers value-added data services to data consumers. However, in the data trading layer, the data consumers face a pressing problem, i.e., how to verify whether the service provider has truthfully collected and processed data? Furthermore, the data contributors are usually unwilling to reveal their sensitive personal data and real identities to the data consumers. In this paper, we propose TPDM, which efficiently integrates Truthfulness and Privacy preservation in Data Markets. TPDM is structured internally in an Encrypt-then-Sign fashion, using partially homomorphic encryption and identity-based signature. It simultaneously facilitates batch verification, data processing, and outcome verification, while maintaining identity preservation and data confidentiality. We also instantiate TPDM with a profile matching service and a data distribution service, and extensively evaluate their performances on Yahoo! Music ratings dataset and 2009 RECS dataset, respectively. Our analysis and evaluation results reveal that TPDM achieves several desirable properties, while incurring low computation and communication overheads when supporting large-scale data markets.

This research trial was in class XI IPS 5 with 35 students. Data collection methods used interviews, observations and take notes. The data analysis used is the Analysis Interactive model from Miles and Huberman. The results show that 1) learning mathematics during distance learning using the Microsoft Teams application at Perintis 2 Senior High School Bandar Lampung can still run smoothly, but this condition can also affect teacher interaction. and students in learning. 2) the teacher has been able to apply the Microsoft Teams application in learning because there are media that support the teacher during online learning, the learning media in question are the meter, quiz, padlet and group room. The obstacles encountered by the teacher in learning mathematics by implementing the Microsoft Teams application are mainly on the internet network so that students are quite passive in implementing mathematics learning. This finding leads to a recommendation for the government to develop learning media in the Microsoft Teams learning application so that it can improve student and teacher understanding in learning mathematics during distance learning.

Authors: Patel Dr. Punyaban
Published: February 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Early detection and management of CKD are crucial in preventing its progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Machine learning (ML) models have shown promise in predicting CKD and identifying patients at high risk of progression. A comprehensive classification framework for CKD prediction can help healthcare professionals in making accurate diagnoses and developing effective treatment plans. This proposed framework involves data collection and preprocessing, feature selection and engineering, model selection, training and evaluation, hyperparameter tuning, and testing and deployment. The framework can be customized based on the specific needs and resources of the healthcare organization

The numerous activities and unethical attitude of organizations which have been linked to climate change and other environmental disaster have made disclosure of the impact of organizational activities on the society and the environment imperative. In view of this, this study examined the effect of board diversity on sustainability disclosure, with moderating effect of firm age in the Nigerian industrial goods firms. This study is for a period of 11 years (2009 – 2019). The population of this research work are all the 14 listed industrial firms in Nigeria of which 2 companies were filtered out due to lack of comprehensive data for the period of study indicating 12 listed companies as the sample size. The data were generated from the annual and sustainability reports of the sampled firms using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) checklist as a yardstick. One hundred and thirty-two (132) set of reports were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results from the data analysis revealed a significant positive effect of board gender diversity on sustainability disclosure. A further analysis revealed a strengthening effect of the moderating variable (firm age) on the relationship between board gender diversity and sustainability disclosure. This study therefore, concluded that firm age significantly moderates the relationship between board gender diversity and sustainability disclosure. This study recommends that more female directors should be encouraged on the boards of Nigerian firms (both young and old) because of their sensitivity to the environment and people generally which usually help them make decisions that will favour the environment and the generality of the people leading to more sustainability activities and disclosure.
