Published: November 2024

Ikan merupakan hasil laut dan sumber pangan penting. Ikan harus diketahui kesegarannya sebelum dimakan manusia. Tingkat kesegaran ikan biasanya ditentukan dengan metode tradisional seperti analisis kimia atau biokimia ikan, analisis kandungan mikroba pada ikan, dan metode pengujian sensorik. Meskipun cara-cara ini dapat dilakukan, namun memerlukan usaha manusia dan menyebabkan kelelahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesegaran ikan hasil tangkapan dengan menggunakan sistem komputer digital. Kami menggunakan metode K-nearest neighbour dengan menggunakan gambar mata ikan berdasarkan fitur warna RGB.Gambar mata ikan telah dipotong sebelumnya, disegmentasi, nilai RGB diekstraksi, dan diklasifikasikan berdasarkan kelas target. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan nilai akurasi tertinggi menggunakan nilai K=1 (93,33%). Berdasarkan hasil akurasi tersebut, metode ANN dapat menjadi model pengembangan identifikasi kesegaran ikan menggunakan citra digital.

Authors: Barros Érika Cristina de Almeida , Dias George Alberto da Silva , Araújo Ana Paula Monteiro de , Machado Angélica Homobono
Published: November 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: O Desenvolvimento Neuropsicomotor sofre influências de fatores biológicos e ambientais, sendo crucial na primeiríssima infância, por ser um período de alta neuroplasticidade. A presença de alterações se não identificadas precocemente, podem ocasionar prejuízos significativos na vida do infante, nesse sentindo destaca-se a importância do conhecimento dos cuidadores sobre os marcos de desenvolvimento para que possam realizar uma correta vigilância desse processo. OBJETIVO: Analisar o nível de conhecimento dos cuidadores de crianças entre 0 a 3 anos sobre os principais marcos do desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor desta faixa etária. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo observacional, transversal e quantitativo, com uma amostra por conveniência de 20 cuidadores. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário próprio dividido em dados sociodemográficos e marcos de desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor criado baseado no "Inventário de Conhecimento sobre o Desenvolvimento Infantil (ICDI)", posteriormente foram analisados estatisticamente utilizando o teste de correlação de Spearman. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi 100% feminina; as cuidadoras demonstraram lacunas significativas no conhecimento sobre os marcos do desenvolvimento cognitivo e motor, com destaque para a tendência de subestimar as habilidades infantis. Apesar de 85% das participantes utilizarem a Caderneta de Saúde da Criança, 90% relataram buscar informações na internet sobre o assunto. Houve ainda uma correlação significativa entre a idade das cuidadoras e o número de acertos, com cuidadoras mais jovens obtendo melhores resultados. CONCLUSÃO: Com esse estudo foi possível verificar que o nível de conhecimento das cuidadoras sobre os principais marcos do desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor de crianças na primeiríssima infância apresenta lacunas significativas, visto que a amostra não tinha certeza do período de determinados marcos ou subestimava a idade de outros. Esses resultados indicam a necessidade de intervenções educativas direcionadas a respeito da temática.

Published: November 2024

Aim: Study of the effectiveness of complex physiotherapeutic treatment of cervicalgia in the MM of the AFU.
Materials and Methods: 45 male MM of the AFU aged 27-62 years, average age 42.3 ± 5.8 years, with pain in the cervical spine were examined. The effectiveness of drug and combined drug and complex physiotherapeutic treatment of cervical pain was evaluated according to the indicators of the NPAD scales, NDI and VAS.
Results: Cervicocranial pain (37.8%) and cervicobrachial pain (33.3%) prevailed in the structure of the pain syndrome in the MM of the AFU. Against the background of the treatment, a significant decrease in the severity of the pain syndrome and complaints was observed in a significant majority of patients. There was a statistically significant decrease in the intensity of the pain syndrome according to the VAS (from 6.8±0.8 points to 5.2±0.5 points in group 1, and from 6.2±0.4 points to 4.8±0, 6 points in group 2. There was also a trend towards normalization of indicators on the NPAD scales (from 61.8 ± 3.6 points to 57.3 ± 4.1 points in group 1 and from 62.2 ± 4.1 points to 50, 2±3.8 points in group 2) and NDI (from 36.7±3.2 points to 29.1±4.3 points in group 1 and from 37.5±3.8 points to 25.3±3.2 points in the 2nd group).
Conclusions: 1. Cervical pain syndrome of the spine in MM of the AFU most often manifests itself in the form of cervicocranialgia and cervicobrachialgia. 2. Drug treatment of cervicalgia demonstrates an effective reduction in pain intensity according to VAS, especially when combined with physiotherapeutic treatment. 3. Complex physiotherapeutic treatment in combination with drug therapy in MM of the AFU leads to regression of pain syndrome and improvement of quality of life and reduction of disability according to the diagnostic scales of NPAD and NDI.

Przekazy dzieł Franciszka Liliusa odnalezione w zbiorach polskich i obcych
Authors: Bebak Marek
Published: November 2024

Artykuł powstał w wyniku realizacji projektu badawczego „Franciszek Lilius. Życie i twórczość na tle epoki”, finansowanego ze środków Narodowego Centrum Nauki przyznanych na podstawie decyzji numer DEC-2013/09/N/HS2/02344 i ma na celu przedstawienie nieznanych przekazów dzieł Franciszka Liliusa oraz zaktualizowanie informacji na temat dorobku twórczego kompozytora. W tekście przedstawione zostały źródła muzyczne i literackie, które wcześniej nie były szerzej znane i analizowane w kontekście twórczości Liliusa w polskiej historiografii muzykologicznej. Dzięki przeprowadzonym w latach 2014-2016 poszukiwaniom w archiwach i bibliotekach kościelnych i świeckich (polskich oraz zagranicznych), udało się odnaleźć nieznane dotąd przekazy mszy wielkanocnej, requiem oraz motetu Sacris solemniis Franciszka Liliusa. Dzięki analizom porównawczym różnych przekazów możliwe stało się również odtworzenie sposobu wykonywania niektórych utworów Liliusa w środowisku kapel wawelskich oraz kapeli benedyktynek z Sandomierza. Okazało się, że msze i motety Liliusa były chętnie wykonywane nie tylko za życia kompozytora, lecz także wiele lat po jego śmierci – w II połowie XVII wieku oraz w wieku XVIII, a także, że jego kompozycje modyfikowano, dostosowując je do aktualnych potrzeb wykonawczych zespołów. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych analiz ustalono, że kompozycje Liliusa w stile antico nie były wykonywane – jak obecnie się przyjmuje – wyłącznie przez kolegium rorantystów, lecz także przez zespoły o mieszanej obsadzie głosowej (CATB) oraz benedyktynki (CCCB).
W artykule przypomniany został również inny, dotychczas pomijany, kierunek twórczy Liliusa – poezja okolicznościowa, którą parał się krakowski kapelmistrz. Z jednej strony „umuzyczniał” on poezję innych twórców, z drugiej sam pisał ody, które ofiarowywał swoim mecenasom.
Costanzo Festa’s (?) motet ‘O altitudo divitiarum’ re-examined: new suggestions regarding its source context, attribution and function
Authors: Odoj Wojciech
Published: November 2024

In the manuscript VatS 38, copied around 1550–63, there are two anonymous motets: Gaude felix ecclesia (ff. 114v-122r) and O altitudo divitiarum (ff. 122v-126r). Joseph Llorens attributed them to Costanzo Festa (c. 1490–1545) in his catalogue of the musical manuscripts of the Sistine Chapel and both are included in Festa’s Opera omnia. What Llorens apparently missed is the fact that the former, with the text Gaude felix Florentia and attributed to Andreas de Silva – who probably wrote it in honor of Pope Leo X on the occasion of his election in 1513 – appears in the manuscript RomeV 35-40 (the Vallicelliana Manuscript). The analysis of O altitudo divitiarum, on the other hand, its stylistic features, transmission, and liturgical and historical context has made me suggest that the motet, if indeed by Festa, may have been intended for the peace treaty in Nice in 1538 with participation of Pope Paul III, Emperor Charles V, and King Francis I of France. If so, it could be considered as a companion to Cristóbal de Morales’s six-voice motet in two movements Jubilate Deo omnis terra which was specifically written for this occasion.
Pieśń do Matki Boskiej w Podkamieniu „Najświętsza niebios i ziemi królowa” Stanisława Ledóchowskiego w druku „Inscriptiones Sancti Montis Sacratissimi Rosarii” (Lwów 1724)
Authors: Shkurgan Oksana
Published: November 2024

Zachowane w polskich zbiorach dwa egzemplarze druku Inscriptiones Sancti Montis Sacratissimi Rosarii (Lwów 1724) pozwoliły potwierdzić autorstwo Stanisława Ledóchowskiego herbu Szaława (ok. 1666-1725), marszałka generalnego konfederacji tarnogrodzkiej, wojewody wołyńskiego (od 26 marca 1724 r.), w odniesieniu do pieśni poświęconej Matce Boskiej Podkamienieckiej, zatytułowanej Najświętsza niebios i ziemi królowa. Tekst (składający się z 11 zwrotek), zachowany w źródle drukowanym we Lwowie, miał być śpiewany na melodię pieśni maryjnej Bądź pozdrowiona Panienko Marya. Ćwierć wieku później tekst omawianej tu pieśni, dedykowanej Najświętszej Maryi Pannie z Podkamienia, ukazał się anonimowo w edycji zatytułowanej Pieśni o Nayświętszey Maryi Pannie (Lwów 1752). W edycji tej jedną z sześciu pieśni wykonanych na cześć figury NMP w Podkamieniu, koronowanej w tamtejszym klasztorze dominikanów 15 sierpnia 1727 r., była także Pieśń XXX anonimowego autorstwa, przypisywana w literaturze przedmiotu Ledóchowskiemu. Problem autorstwa tej ukraińskiej pieśni wymaga dalszych badań.

Modeling of wood drying process based on machine learning
Authors: Kapran I. D.
Published: November 2024

Drying is a complex process of simultaneous heat, mass, and momentum transport phenomena with continuous phase changes. Numerical modelling is one of the most effective tools to mechanistically express the different physics of drying processes for accurately predicting the drying kinetics and understanding the morphological changes during drying. However, the mathematical modelling of drying processes is complex and computationally very expensive due to multiphysics and the multiscale nature of heat and mass transfer during drying. Physics-informed machine learning (PIML)-based modelling has the potential to overcome these drawbacks and could be an exciting new addition to drying research for describing drying processes by embedding fundamental transport laws and constraints in machine learning models. Based on a comprehensive literature review, this paper presents two types of information: fundamental physics-based information about drying processes and data-driven modelling strategies to develop PIML-based models for drying applications. The current status of physics-based models and PIML-based models and their limitations are discussed. A sample PIML-based modelling framework for drying application is presented. Finally, the challenges of addressing simultaneous heat, mass, and momentum transport phenomena in PIML modelling for optimizing the drying process are presented at the end of this paper.

Моніторинг складних обчислювальних систем з використанням засобів штучного інтелекту
Authors: Zahvoyskyi R. Yu. , Kazymyra I. Ya.
Published: November 2024

Функціонування складних систем часто супроводжується виникненням збоїв, спричинених аномальною чи критичною поведінкою окремих компонентів. Актуальним завданням є моніторинг змін стану систем з метою вчасного виявлення нештатних ситуацій і запобігання збоям. Сучасні методи моніторингу часто не враховують динамічну природу складних обчислювальних систем і зазвичай ігнорують користувачів як активних учасників. Використання штучного інтелекту допомагає покращити процес моніторингу та зробити його ефективнішим. У даній роботі представлено підхід, що дозволяє фіксувати динаміку змін властивостей складних систем та виявляти аномалії, які можуть свідчити про наближення системних збоїв.

Enhancing the Public-Private-Community Partnerships in the Banana Value Chain in Mutasa District, Zimbabwe
Authors: Shoniwa Brighton , Terera Kumbirai Gift
Published: November 2024

The paradigm shift from the New Public Administration to the New Public Governance underlines the significance of multi-stakeholder collaborations in attending to complex societal challenges. In this vein, Public-Private-Community Partnerships are a feasible mechanism for enhancing the banana value chain in Mutasa District of Zimbabwe. Bananas are extensively eaten fruits in the world with smallholder farmers playing a vital role in production, particularly in developing nations like Zimbabwe. Yet smallholder farmers’ economic returns in the banana value chain are a cause of concern. Thus, this study focuses on enhancing Public-Private-Community Partnerships in the smallholder banana value chain. A concurrent mixed methods research design allowed for both objectivity and detailed analysis. The target population comprised public, private, and community stakeholders in the banana value chain. The multiplicity of stakeholders motivated a mixture of quota, purposive, and snowball sampling techniques to ensure representation. Questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions were the data collection methods. There was descriptive analysis of quantitative data, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically, and related findings were grouped together. Public-Private-Community Partnerships are attractive because they reduce information asymmetry, enhance transparency, ensure fairness in pricing, facilitate risk sharing, increase productivity, and enhance value addition. Public-Private-Community Partnerships are not “magic bullets”, necessitating attention to their potential deficits, which include power imbalances, conflicts of interest among partners, and challenges associated with ensuring active participation by diverse stakeholder groups. Pathways for strengthening Public-Private-Community Partnerships include consensus building, clear definition of partners’ roles, fair sharing of risks and benefits, monitoring and evaluation, selection of competent actors, and farmer capacity building. Effective Public-Private-Community Partnerships facilitate active participation among the public, private, and community actors along the entire value chain.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has created a new normal across the world regardless of its economic status. The financial condition of individuals as well as corporate sectors had put them in a situation to alter their decision-making in many aspects. This paper is aimed to examine the moderating effect of financial constraints on the personal tax compliance of tax professionals who work for Malaysian businesses. It is assumed in the previous studies related to corporate tax compliance that a tax professional's personal tax compliance behaviour may influence corporate tax compliance decision-making. Therefore, this study tests their tax compliance behaviour. For that sequential explanatory design has been employed. The preliminary data was collected from the tax professionals of Malaysian businesses and then supplementary data was collected from tax experts such as tax agents, tax officers, and tax scholars. 392 responses from tax professionals and 9 responses from tax experts were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The finding reveals that the financial constraints of Malaysian tax professionals moderate their personal tax compliance. The outcome produces a piece of empirical evidence that tax policymakers should consider and implies the importance of accrual basis accounting in tax management.

Published: November 2024

Social entrepreneurship is an innovative approach to solving community problems. This social entrepreneurship approach is expected to be able to offer an alternative to providing sustainable employment opportunities to the disabled in Malaysia through the active involvement of SME traders in the social entrepreneurship movement. Traders are economic activists who have great potential to help improve the well-being of the disabled minority group who are facing employability problems considering that 19.3 percent of traders intend to hire more workers in the second quarter of 2022. Accordingly, the disabled group consisting of those with long-term physical deficiencies, mental, intellectual, or sensory needs to be considered to meet those needs. This conceptual paper aims to shed light on the types of social entrepreneurship approaches and how small and medium enterprise (SME) traders can help the disabled from the aspect of education and employability which in turn can improve their standard of living. Therefore, seven types of social entrepreneurship approach are discussed; nonprofit social entrepreneurship, for-profit social entrepreneurship, cooperative social entrepreneurship, social intrapreneurship, grassroots social entrepreneurship, corporate social entrepreneurship and social innovation incubators/accelerators. SME traders can help the disabled increase their employment opportunities by implementing inclusive hiring practices, providing reasonable accommodations, providing skill development training, offering mentoring and internship program, promoting accessibility in education, encouraging advocacy and awareness and practicing supplier diversity. The discussions and suggestions presented are expected to open a new lens to the social entrepreneurship movement among traders in this country.

The Mediating Effects of Subjective Well-Being on the Relationship between the COVID-19 Pandemic and Withdrawal Intention among B40 University Students: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: Mohd Ariffin Siti Zubaidah , Jamaluddin Nor Sa'adah
Published: November 2024

Despite many studies investigating the determinants of students’ withdrawal intention, scant evidence could be found related to how COVID-19 occurrence affected the intention to drop out by university students. Furthermore, the mediating effect of students’ subjective well-being has been ignored by previous studies. Therefore, this conceptual paper proposes a framework which links the mediating effect of subjective well-being on the relationship between COVID-19 occurrence and students’ withdrawal intention from university. In addition, this paper also proposes a quantitative cross-sectional survey to verify the proposed framework. A research sample of undergraduate students from many disciplines and study areas belonging to the B40 socioeconomic group currently enrolled in both public and private institutions in Malaysia would be surveyed and data would be analyzed using PLS-SEM. The framework proposed by this study highlights a research gap in the present literature which needs to be filled to enhance the current understanding of extended effect of COVID-19 to higher education.
Fostering Value-Driven Leadership among Accounting Educators using the Qalb-Guided Framework
Authors: Tarmuji Indarawati , Mahmud Radziah , Tengku Embong Tengku Fairuz
Published: November 2024

This research paper aims to comprehensively explore the significance of nurturing qalb-guided leadership attributes among accounting educators in Malaysia using qalb-guided framework. These educators play a pivotal role in moulding students into well-rounded individuals, embodying intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical balance while harmonizing with their families, communities, and country. The absence of qalb (heart) in leadership can lead to intellect devoid of emotion, resulting in negligence, lack of mindfulness, confusion, and uncertainty. In the contemporary landscape, the escalation of issues related to integrity, corruption, and unethical behaviour has become a pressing concern in both the realms of teaching and learning and the accounting profession, demanding immediate attention. Therefore, this paper elaborates on how the components of the qalb-guided leadership framework namely wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance can fortify the commitment, driving force, focus, energy, and synergy within accounting education across higher institutions. Simultaneously, it highlights the importance of fostering qalb attributes among accounting educators, challenges and strategies. This in-depth discussion is poised to contribute significant value to the existing literature on leadership quality issues. It is noteworthy that the integration of qalb-guided leadership elements in education is still in its early stages. Considering that the principles of wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance are universally applicable, underscoring its global relevance. Looking ahead, future research endeavours could involve empirical analysis using this approach once the qalb-guided leadership framework is established as a standard within higher education institutions. This strategic move would facilitate the exchange of knowledge and bolster any potential gaps in understanding.

Published: November 2024

This study proposed the examination of the impact of board diversity on executive compensation in emerging economies such as Malaysia. Diversity of board has been promoted in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG, 2021) and the implementation of such policy is costly to the firms. Excessive executive compensation has been one of the main problems in the corporate world in Malaysia. While the cost and benefit effects of diversity in the context of an emerging economy are not clear, the diversity in the board that seems to work well in the Western business culture might not necessarily be compatible with Malaysian culture, where the traditional values, culture, and religions are being adhered. The sample is comprised of listed firms in Malaysia during the year 2021 to 2023. Board diversity is measured using gender diversity, age diversity, and ethnicity diversity. The executive compensation is measured using the total compensation received by the board of directors. It is expected that the outcome of this study will be useful in helping the policymakers in setting the parameters for the diversity policy in the firms in Malaysia.
