Mathematical Modeling of the Inhibition Kinetics of Malachite Green Decolorization by Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: Manogaran Motharasan , Azni Wan Yudreina Yudryk Wan , Habib Nur Muhamad Syahir Abdul , Yasid Nur Adeela
Published: June 2023

Basic Green 4 or Malachite Green (MG) is an important dye that found great usage in controlling fish pathogens. The use of MG has been banned but developing, and third-world countries still found applications for this dye. Bioremediation of dyes using microorganisms is on the rise. The ability to accurately predict the rate of bioremediation relies upon the gathering of the accurate rate of decolourisation, which is often inhibited at high concentrations of the toxicant. Various secondary models such as Monod, Haldane, Teissier, Aiba, Yano and Koga, Hans-Levenspiel, Webb and the Luong models were utilized to fit the specific decolourisation rate, and most of them show visually acceptable fitting except Monod and Teissier. The best model based on statistical analysis was Hans-Levenspiel with the highest value for the adjusted coefficient of determination and the lowest values for RMSE, AICc, HQC and BIC and the closest value to 1.0 for accuracy and bias factors. The Hans-Levenspiel model was found to conform to normality tests and is adequate to be used to fit the experimental data. The normality tests carried out using tests such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Wilks-Shapiro and the D'Agostino-Pearson omnibus K2 test shows that the model pass the normality tests with p >0.05 for all normality tests carried out. The experimental data obtained indicates that Malachite Green is toxic and slows down the rate of decolourisation at higher concentrations. The maximum MG specific biodegradation rate (qmax), half-saturation concentration (KS), maximum allowable MG concentration (Sm), and the shape factors (n and m) were 0.136 h-1, 0.56 mg/L, 2691 mg/L, -33.31 and 35.12, respectively. The parameters obtained from this exercise can be utilized to model the bioremediation of MG in the future.

Authors: Piskin Bulent , Durmaz Abdullah , Sipahi Cumhur , Uyar Alper , Özarslantürk Savaş
Published: June 2023

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare and benign fibro-osseous lesion of the craniofacial skeleton commonly seen in children under 15 years of age. Despite being classified as benign, JOF lesions are aggressive in nature and reach large dimensions in a short period of time. Thus, their resections may cause large orofacial defects which have serious detrimental effects on the functional and nutritional requirements of pediatric patients being in the pe-riod of growth. Therefore, its early diagnosis and proper surgical and prost-hetic management are of vital importance for the survival of patients. However, no detailed reports in the literature describe the prosthetic mana-gement of large intraoral defects in pediatric patients under 10 years old.

Women Directors: Revisiting Critical Mass Hypothesis
Authors: Lawal Bello,
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This paper offers a descriptive assessment of Critical Mass Theory (CMT) application and the relevance of Collective Action Hypothesis (CAH) in board diversity research. The paper distils salient features that may address empirical inconsistencies and potentially unlock alternative methodologies for model constructs to aid future research. This paper aims to add a rational perspective that sharpens the ongoing conversation regarding gender justice, with emphasis on the legitimacy of business context and attainment of contingent-based gender threshold in pursuit of boardroom equality.

Methodology: This paper deploys an explanatory approach in distilling critical mass theory within the context of human and relational capital orientation and what the key features of collective action model represent in board role and task performance.

Findings: The paper accentuates impediments in spurring collective action, and the importance of achieving “spark threshold” with quintessential cognitive, sophisticated women directors for noticeable influence of gender diversity.

Originality and Value: This paper offered an extended CMT (“Board Spark Theory”) for robust empirical testing and the “Club Rule” proposition as substitute for gender quota directives. In addition, the paper makes a case for integration of new models specifically the CMT with existing theoretical frameworks in gender diversity research. The paper outlines how women – as a critical mass variable - should be defined in research model constructs, and the unique features which differentiate directors who are likely to behave differently. Finally, the case put forth for women directorship threshold provides further clarity in deepening research conversations and understanding the dichotomy of business-equality case for board diversity.

Published: June 2023

The remainder of the pavement system is supported by the subgrade, the soil layer on top of which the subbase or pavement is constructed. The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of a subgrade must be at least 10. This is essential for highway engineers. Numerous studies demonstrate that if a subgrade has If the subbase material has a CBR value < 10, it will deflect under traffic loads in a similar way to the subgrade and harm the pavement. Pavement drainage and stability are provided by the subbase, a layer of aggregate material immediately beneath the pavement. The inferior, that Undrained water can freeze and expand in the layers supporting the pavement, placing intense internal strain on the pavement structure. Additionally, running water can transport debris from the subbase or subgrade and, in conjunction with traffic, pump it out of the drains. Highway engineers must consequently provide a solid, permeable subbase with longitudinal sub-drains. The effects of saturation on the stability of the soil subgrade are reviewed in this essay.

We use and study a wide range of machine learning methods to predict and trade in the daily crypto currency market. We teach the algorithms to make daily market predictions based on how the 100 cryptocurrencies with the most market value change in price. Based on our research, all of the used models are able to make estimates that are statistically sound, with the average accuracy of all crypto currencies falling between 52.9% and 54.1%. When these accurate numbers are based on the 10% most confident expectations for each class and day, they go up to somewhere between 57.5% and 59.5%. A well-known case study in the field of data science looks at how people try to figure out how much different digital currencies are worth. Stock prices and the prices of cryptocurrencies are based on more than just the amount of buy and sell orders. At the moment, the government's financial policies about digital currencies affect how the prices of these things change. People's views about a crypto currency or a star who directly or indirectly backs a crypto currency can also cause a big rise in buying and selling of that currency. This study looks at the trustworthiness of the three most famous coins on the market today: bitcoin, how well buying strategies for ethereum and litecoin that are based on machine learning work. The models are checked and tested with both good and bad market situations. This lets us figure out how accurate the forecasts are in light of any changes in how the market feels between the proof and test times.

Published: June 2023

Banks and other financial institutions compete for customers by providing a wide range of services and products. Most banks, however, make the vast majority of their money from their credit portfolio. Loans accepted by borrowers might lead to interest charges. The loan portfolio, and customers' repayment habits in particular, can have a substantial impact on a bank's bottom line. The financial institution's Non-Performing Assets can be reduced if it can accurately predict which borrowers are likely to default on their loans. Therefore, there is substantial scholarly value in exploring the prediction of loan endorsement. In order to make accurate predictions, it is crucial to use Machine Learning methods. Based on a person's past loan qualification history, this research uses a machine learning methodology to predict the person's likelihood of consistently making loan repayments. The primary aim of this research is to foretell how likely it is that a given individual will be granted a loan.
A Review on Speech Emotion Recognition Using Machine Learning

Published: June 2023

This paper focuses on the development of a robust speech emotion recognition system using a combination of different speech features with feature optimization techniques and speech de-noising technique to acquire improved emotion classification accuracy, decreasing the system complexity and obtain noise robustness. Additionally, we create original methods for SER to merge features. We employ feature optimization methods that are based on the feature transformation and feature selection machine learning techniques in order to build SER. The following is a list of the upcoming events. A neural network can use either of these two techniques. As more feelings are taken into account, the feature fusion-acquired SER accuracy falls short of expectations, and the plague of dimensionality starts to spread due to the addition of speech features, which makes the SER system work harder to complete its task. This is due to the SER system becoming more complicated when voice elements are added. Therefore, it is crucial to create a SER system that is more trustworthy, has the most practical features, and uses the least amount of computing power possible. By using strategies that maximize current features, it is possible to streamline the feature selection process by reducing the total number of accessible choices to a more reasonable level. This piece employs a method known as Semi-Non Negative Matrix Factorization to lessen the amount of processing trash that the SER system generates. (Semi-NMF). This approach can be used to change traits that are capable of learning on their own.

Did the ancient Romans have double-entry bookkeeping?
Authors: Sojak Sławomir
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The main purpose of the article is to establish whether the ancient Romans used double-entry bookkeeping. The secondary aim is to present a wide range of accounting vocabulary used by the Romans, which was later used by Venetian merchants and Luca Pacioli in the 1494 treatise on double-entry bookkeeping and which is still in use today.Methodology/approach: The paper uses a deductive inference method based on an anal-ysis of the economic, legal, and historiographical literature on the accounting vocabulary used in the state and private finances of the Romans. Findings: Although the terminology presented in the article suggests that the Romans had a highly developed accounting system using the principle of double entry, this was not the case. No material evidence of this has been found in accounting documents, such as single accounting records, repeated counter entries or balance sheets. Historians of ac-counting and banking rely on the analysis of secondary historical sources, such as legal literature that documents the course of trials in which account books were the main evidence. One trial that was fully described in the literature was between the partners Fannius and Roscius, in which Cicero was the defender of Roscius. The article demonstrates that Ciceros defense speech does not prove the existence of double-accounting in Rome. Reflecting on the reasons for the absence of double-entry bookkeeping, the author pre-sents de Ste. Croix's arguments, the most important of which was the Roman numerical notation system (I, V, X, L, C, M) did not force bookkeeping entries into columns. This was only done by the Arabic numeral notation system, which quickly translated into the opposite double notation.Research limitations: The lack of surviving documents and a need to rely on legal litera-ture.Originality/value: The article proves that the double notation the debit/credit convention cannot be ascribed to ancient Rome. However, the article informs the reader about the richness of the accounting and financial terminology of Rome at the turn of the era.
Does non-financial reporting regulation increase diversity and equal opportunity disclosures? Evidence from Poland
Authors: Papa Marco , Wieczorek-Kosmala Monika , Syty Karolina
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The main aim of our study is to verify whether the implementation of non-financial reporting regulations, following the adoption of Directive 2014/95/EU, in-creased disclosures on diversity and equal opportunities in Polish listed firms. We study whether the diversity and equal opportunities disclosures differ significantly if we compare the information presented in companies non-financial reports in the pre-Directive period (2016) and the post-Directive period (2018). Methodology/approach: Guided by Clarkson et al. (2008), as well as by the Global Rerporting Initiative (GRI) standards, we have applied manual content analysis, using the coding scheme that is useful in capturing the types of disclosures. We implement Wilcoxon signed ranks test to verify the statistical significance of the differences be-tween the diversity and equal opportunities disclosures in the pre- and post-Directive periods. Findings: Our evidence suggests that disclosures on diversity and equal opportunities in Poland significantly increased after the implementation of the Directive, but the patterns of the prevalence of disclosure types have remained stable. Research limitations/implications: This evidence is provided for a relatively small sample of Polish listed firms (N=19) that issued CSR/sustainability reports in 2016 and 2018, which could be considered a limitation of our study. Nevertheless, our study has practical implications within the impacts of the regulatory framework of companies reporting schemes, as far as diversity and equal opportunities (DEO) disclosures are concerned. Originality/value: Our evidence fills an important gap within the studies that review the implementation of the Directive in developing European economies. At the same time, it provides evidence within the emerging field of studies that compare the various types of disclosures before and after the implementation of the EU Directive, which is relevant for revising the impact of regulatory frameworks on non-financial reporting.

How Can We Help?: Strategies for Instructors to Alleviate Undergraduate Student Stress
Authors: Cantrell Megan , Orsini Jonathan , Williams Rebecca
Published: June 2023

Stress is becoming synonymous with the undergraduate student experience. Stress can be a productive motivator for students, but unhealthy levels can create distress, which can cause students to experience burnout and health issues. In this study, students were enrolled in a course and asked to provide feedback on levels of stress to instructors while undergoing a stressful phenomenon, the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysis of qualitative student reflections identified themes that contributed to student distress including academic stress, financial/work stress, personal stress, university-related stress, family-related stress, and interpersonal stress. Undergraduate students reported their highest levels of distress related to academic stress. While some students did not believe faculty should be responsible for reducing their stress, others provided tangible strategies for reducing distress. Strategies that faculty can implement to reduce their students’ distress include being more flexible with due dates and assignments, reducing student’s unnecessary workload, and coordinating due dates with other faculty in their programs.
Science Education through Creative Writing
Authors: Osborn Lauren , Hoback William , Parkison Aimee , Golick Doug
Published: June 2023

Art and science are intrinsically linked. Science requires curiosity, along with skills in observation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Art is no different; however, the two disciplines are typically presented as opposites to children at a young age and the emphasis on differences lead to a false dichotomy of career paths and even self-identification. Recent research has shown that integrating artistic disciplines such as creative writing into traditional STEM fields aids both majors and non-majors in establishing interdisciplinary connections between required education courses and courses in their field of interest, resulting in increased student learning and understanding. This study incorporated creative writing into a college-level entomology course through writing prompts where students observed magnified images of arthropods and other objects and described them using creative language. The students were also encouraged to engage with the course material through personal experiences and reflections. We discovered that this creative writing assignment helped students gain confidence in their writing abilities, foster new connections through critical thinking, and develop a deeper appreciation for entomology. In addition, this exercise helps instructors identify student’s misconceptions, establish baseline class knowledge, and connect facets of multiple disciplines to meet learning objectives.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this research was to explore the study abroad experiences of secondary school Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) students as they relate to career determination, self-awareness, cultural awareness, and global competence. There were two distinct samples from which data were collected: (a) students who participated in a secondary school study abroad experience and (b) a comparison group of undergraduate students at [University] enrolled in AFNR Education without secondary school AFNR study abroad experience. Both groups were given a survey measuring number of countries visited, career determination, self-awareness, cultural awareness, global competence, and demographics. Results illuminate several trends worthy of further consideration, including AFNR travelers reported higher levels of global competency and cultural awareness when juxtaposed to the comparison group. Examining the relationships among variables, cultural awareness and number of countries visited yielded the strongest relationship. None of the correlations were statistically significant; therefore, potential conclusions are limited.  From this exploration, encouraging both students and teachers in natural sciences programs to explore opportunities for international study abroad focused on AFNR, especially when programmatic objectives include student development of global competence and cultural awareness, is recommended.
Systematic Literature Review Benefits the Professional Development of Undergraduate Students
Authors: Nicholas Gengler  , Acevedo Miguel
Published: June 2023

The value of systematic literature review and research synthesis for the professional development of undergraduate students is largely unknown. As such, opportunities to develop these skills may be underutilized by educators. Using quantitative and qualitative methods we assessed how participation in research synthesis improved the professional development of undergraduate students in ecology. We found improvements in motivation to pursue careers in ecology and self-confidence, which are two key aspects of professional development. Systematic literature review and research synthesis are critical skills for success in environmental sciences, yet opportunities to develop these skills may be scarce. Developing these important skills imparts significant benefits to the professional development of undergraduate students, and educators should not hesitate to offer opportunities based on these skills.
