Authors: Bagas Alif Fimaskoro  , Suci Aulia  , Dery Rimasa
Published: March 2024

Over time, numerous developments in digital technology have benefited people, including anthropometric measurements that provide information on an athlete’s ability in sports. The use of digital technology in sports must continue, particularly in the National Sports Committee of Indonesia (Komite Olahraga Nasional Indonesia, KONI) of Bandung City. This study proposed a technique for classifying and identifying fencing athletes’ talents. This work developed a methodology for evaluating sports talent based on anthropometric measurements of athletes’ bodies using the posture detection approach. Fencing and nonfencing athletes in KONI Bandung City were categorized using this talent identification. This study used 36 datasets of body posture images from various skills of the sport. These images were in JPEG or JPG format with a resolution of 3,024 × 4,032 and were acquired using a Canon EOS 1300D camera. This study utilized four points landmarks, which are usually used as measurement components in KONI, to categorize fencing athletes. The four points are shoulder (S), elbow (E), index (I), and hip (H) landmarks. The testing was done using three different dataset settings. According to the test results of all scenarios, scenario 2 had the highest accuracy. This scenario was able to categorize fencing and nonfencing athletes with an accuracy rate of 89% and an average processing time of less than 3 s per image.

Published: March 2024

The rapid advancement of communication technology has transformed how information is shared, but it has also brought concerns about the proliferation of false information. A recent report by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics in Indonesia revealed that around 800,000 websites were involved in spreading false information, underscoring the seriousness of the problem. To combat this issue, researchers have focused on developing techniques to detect and combat fake news. This research centers on using IndoBERT-base-p1 for fake news detection and aims to enhance its performance through three methods to tune the hyperparameter value of the model namely: Bayesian optimization, grid search, and random search. After comparing the outcomes of the three hyperparameter tuning methods, Bayesian Optimization emerged as the most effective approach. Achieving a precision of 88.79%, recall of 94.5%, and F1-score of 91.56% for the “fake” label, Bayesian Optimization outperformed the other hyperparameter tuning methods as well as the model using the fine-tuning hyperparameter value. These findings emphasize the importance of hyperparameter tuning in improving the accuracy of fake news detection models. Utilizing Bayesian Optimization and optimizing the specified hyperparameters, the model demonstrated superior performance in accurately identifying instances of fake news, providing a valuable tool in the ongoing battle against disinformation in the digital realm.

Applications of Drone and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Surveying for Planning For Cities
Authors: Nirmal Sandip B.
Published: March 2024

Abstract: The field of town planning is one of the many areas in city life where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones could find use. When compared to traditional surveying options, drones may offer planners a more accurate, precise, flexible, and economical means of obtaining information. Unfortunately, current Indian government restrictions around the use of drones, particularly in the town planning sector, are vague and prioritize safety above advancing technology toward a system that is more efficient. To maximize the public benefit from the use of drone technology in town planning, town planners and surveyors require flexible, practical drone regulations that address the numerous concerns surrounding the use of UAVs in urban areas. This research discusses the present applications of UAVs in many areas of urban planning.
English Language Proficiency Analysis and Prediction using Deep Learning Algorithms
Authors: Talukder Animesh
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Writing is one of the fundamental abilities. Unfortunately, only a small part of children are able to obtain it, typically as a result of the infrequent use of writing projects in the classroom. The lack of exercise has a particular negative effect on students who are studying English as a second language, also known as English Language Learners (ELLs), a population of students that is constantly growing. ELLs are not the intended audience for these tools, despite the fact that employing automated feedback systems makes it easier for teachers to offer more writing assignments. Due to the present tools' incapacity to provide feedback based on the student's language proficiency, the learner may receive a final evaluation that is skewed in their favor. Using data science models and algorithms, automated feedback techniques may be enhanced to better address the unique needs of these children. The primary goal of this essay is to assess the quality of the essay using a set of evaluation criteria. Six analytical criteria were used to evaluate the essays: coherence, syntax, vocabulary, phraseology, grammar, and conventions. Each measure's scores grow by a factor of 0.5 and range from 0.0 to 5.0. Predicting how well an article will perform on these 5 metrics is the major task

Authors: Jenifar Ms. P. Divya , Keerthana Ms. R.
Published: March 2024

Abstract: The MR images of the brain requires automatic and accurate classification for medical analysis and interpretation nowadays. Numerous methods have been declared already in the previous years. In this paper we have presented a method which classifies the brain image of MRI into normal and abnormal brain tumor images. This method uses wavelet transform that extract features from images. The next step involves principle component analysis (PCA) that reduces the feature dimensions. These reduced features are then employed to a kernel support vector machine (KSVM). 180 images of the brain were collected from the diseased which contained 130 abnormal brain and 50 normal brain images. Four kernels of different types were performed.

Published: March 2024

Background: Gastric ulcer is an excoriation area of the stomach caused by the destruction of mucosal defense against the predominant factors. One of the efforts that should be made to reduce the incidence of gastric ulcers is a precautionary measure to use ethanol extract of celery (Apium graveolens L). Celery contains phenolic compounds, such as apigenin which acts as an antioxidant. Antioxidant has the potential as an agent of gastric mucosal protection against cell damage caused by excessive activation of free radicals (ROS). Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of celery ethanol extract in preventing gastric ulcers through a reduction of ulcer lesion length.  Method: Research method Post-test Only Randomized Controlled Group Design conducted on Wistar strain rats. Experimental animals were divided into 5 groups: healthy, normal wound with induction indomethacin, and celery ethanol extract administered orally at a dose of 200 mg/kg, 300, mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg. Observations were made on the length of gastric ulcer lesions. The length of the gastric ulcer was measured using a vernier caliper and statistically analyzed by the One-way ANOVA test. Result: The result showed that the ethanol extract of celery at 300mg/kgBB was the best dose in preventing the formation of gastric ulcer by decreasing the length of the gastric ulcer. Conclusion: Based on these results, the researcher suggests comparing other various parameters regarding the effect of celery ethanol extract for the prevention of gastric ulcers.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of SEFT on the anxiety level among people with Pre- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Methods: The research design used a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest design with a control group design.  The number of samples used G-Power with nonprobability sampling was as many as 18 people in each group (a total of 36 people). The inclusion criteria are elective inpatients, patients diagnosed with CAD who have anxiety and are able to communicate, patients indicated as primary care, and patients with complications and panic are excluded, SEFT consists of set-up, tune-in, and tapping given one hour before cardiac catheterization for 15–25 minutes with two repetitions. Questionnaires for measuring anxiety levels before and after therapy using the Hamilton Scale for Anxiety (HARS) with validity (r count 0.57–0.97) and reliability (0.93–0.97). The analysis used Mann-Whitney. Results: The short version of SEFT in the control group (p-value 0.001) and the long version of SEFT in the intervention group (p-value <0.001) were proven to have an effect on reducing anxiety scores.  there was no difference in the mean anxiety scores between the groups given the long version and the short version of the SEFT intervention (p-value 0,053). Conclusion: The conclusion of the study showed the effect of SEFT therapy on the anxiety of cardiac pre-catheterization patients. SEFT can be a complementary nursing therapy to reduce anxiety.
A structure theorem for generalized-noncontextual ontological models
Authors: Schmid David , Selby John H. , Pusey Matthew F. , Spekkens Robert W.
Published: March 2024

It is useful to have a criterion for when the predictions of an operational theory should be considered classically explainable. Here we take the criterion to be that the theory admits of a generalized-noncontextual ontological model. Existing works on generalized noncontextuality have focused on experimental scenarios having a simple structure: typically, prepare-measure scenarios. Here, we formally extend the framework of ontological models as well as the principle of generalized noncontextuality to arbitrary compositional scenarios. We leverage a process-theoretic framework to prove that, under some reasonable assumptions, every generalized-noncontextual ontological model of a tomographically local operational theory has a surprisingly rigid and simple mathematical structure — in short, it corresponds to a frame representation which is not overcomplete. One consequence of this theorem is that the largest number of ontic states possible in any such model is given by the dimension of the associated generalized probabilistic theory. This constraint is useful for generating noncontextuality no-go theorems as well as techniques for experimentally certifying contextuality. Along the way, we extend known results concerning the equivalence of different notions of classicality from prepare-measure scenarios to arbitrary compositional scenarios. Specifically, we prove a correspondence between the following three notions of classical explainability of an operational theory: (i) existence of a noncontextual ontological model for it, (ii) existence of a positive quasiprobability representation for the generalized probabilistic theory it defines, and (iii) existence of an ontological model for the generalized probabilistic theory it defines.
Stabilization of Hubbard-Thouless pumps through nonlocal fermionic repulsion

Published: March 2024

Thouless pumping represents a powerful concept to probe quantized topological invariants in quantum systems. We explore this mechanism in a generalized Rice-Mele Fermi-Hubbard model characterized by the presence of competing onsite and intersite interactions. Contrary to recent experimental and theoretical results, showing a breakdown of quantized pumping induced by the onsite repulsion, we prove that sufficiently large intersite interactions allow for an interaction-induced recovery of Thouless pumps. Our analysis further reveals that the occurrence of stable topological transport at large interactions is connected to the presence of a spontaneous bond-order-wave in the ground-state phase diagram of the model. Finally, we discuss a concrete experimental setup based on ultracold magnetic atoms in an optical lattice to realize the newly introduced Thouless pump. Our results provide a new mechanism to stabilize Thouless pumps in interacting quantum systems.

Published: March 2024

Three-dimensional aerogels utilizing functionalized reduced graphene
oxide (SUL/rGO) were synthesized through a hydrothermal approach,
employing a sulfonyldibenzene derivative (SUL) and graphene oxide (GO).
The aromatic organic molecule SUL, containing sulfonyl and hydroxyl
groups, was connected to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by π-π
interactions. The resulting composite displayed enhanced hydrophilicity,
a porous structure, and good electrochemical performance. This
enhancement stemmed from the pseudocapacitance inherent in SUL and the
specific structure of rGO, both synergistically contributing to the
electrode materials. Furthermore, employing density functional theory,
the adsorption energy and density of states of SUL on the rGO surface
were calculated to provide additional insights into the charge storage
mechanism of SUL on rGO. The SUL/rGO electrode demonstrated a maximum
specific capacitance of 388 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g. The
assembled SUL/rGO-2//SUL/rGO-2 symmetrical supercapacitor achieved an
energy density of 14.55 Wh/kg at a power density of 350 W/kg, and
satisfactory GCD cycle stability of 91% after 10,000 cycles. This study
proposes a novel functional graphene incorporating sulfonyl and hydroxyl
groups, a promising material for energy storage devices.
Modeling firebrand spotting in WRF-Fire for coupled fire-weather prediction
Authors: Frediani Maria , Shamsaei Kasra , Juliano Timothy W , Kosovic Branko , Knievel Jason , Tessendorf Sarah A , Ebrahimian Hamed
Published: March 2024

This study introduces the firebrand spotting parameterization
implemented in WRF-Fire and applies it to the Marshall Fire, Colorado
(2021) to demonstrate that, without fire spotting, wind-driven fire
simulations cannot accurately represent the fire behavior. Spotting can
be a dominant fire spread mechanism in wind-driven events, particularly
those that occur in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), such as the
Marshall Fire. To simulate these fires, the model’s ability to spot is
critical, in that it accelerates the rate of spread and enables the fire
to spread over streams and urban features such as highways. The
firebrand spotting parameterization was implemented in WRF-Fire to
improve simulations of wind-driven fires in a fire-atmosphere coupled
system. In the parameterization, particles are generated with a set of
fixed firebrand properties, from locations vertically aligned with the
fire front. Firebrands are transported using a Lagrangian framework and
firebrand physics are represented by a burnout (combustion)
parameterization. Fire spots may occur when firebrands land on unburned
grid points. The parameterization components are illustrated through
idealized simulations and its application is demonstrated through
simulations of a devastating real case - the Marshall Fire (Colorado,
2021). The simulations were verified using time of arrival and
contingency table metrics. Our metrics show that when fire spots were
included in the simulations, fire rate of spread and burn area
consistently improved.
A Study on Island Tourism Sustainability: Assessing Tourist Perspectives Using Revised IPA
Authors:   The Convergence Tourism Contents Society, Sun Zhijun , Han Ju Hyoung
Published: March 2024

Purpose: Achieving a balance between development and conservation for sustainability in island tourism destinations necessitates a profound understanding of tourists' perspectives. This research aims to assess how tourists perceive the social, environmental, and economic sustainability aspects, often referred to as the Triple Bottom Line.
Methods: Utilizing the Martilla & James Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), with Deng's modifications, this study focuses on Chinese domestic tourists with experience in Weizhou Island in China. Through convenience sampling, data were collected via online surveys from November 1 to November 7, 2023, resulting in 300 valid responses for final analysis.
Results: The revised IPA technique revealed that, from the tourist's standpoint, effective management of tourism products and services, especially souvenir prices and transportation costs, at an appropriate level is crucial. Tourists emphasize the need for prioritized attention to achieve this. Furthermore, while tourists generally rate the economic value creation through dominant island tourism positively, concerns arise regarding excessive dependence on tourism in both industry and regional economies.
Conclusion: This study highlights two key academic implications. Firstly, it emphasizes that although similar factors contribute to the pursuit of sustainability, tourists' evaluations may vary depending on specific attributes. Secondly, evaluating sustainability from the perspective of external stakeholders, such as tourists, holds significance.
Exploratory Study on the Local Role of 'Michi-no-Eki (Roadside Stations)’: A Comparison of Highway Rest Facilities in Korea and Japan
Authors:   The Convergence Tourism Contents Society, Lee Jung Woo
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The researcher, with academic interest in the operation of 1,209 Michi-no-Eki facilities over 30 years, conducted an investigation into six Michi-no-Eki locations in the Kyushu region of Japan. The study focused extensively on exploring the actual role of Michi-no-Eki in the local context. Based on this, the researcher aims to examine the potential of Michi-no-Eki as a category within the realm of local tourism and regional revitalization platforms.
Methods: The researcher analyzed the significant differences between highway rest areas in South Korea and Japan's Michi-no-eki by conducting on-site surveys, including data on Japanese Michi-no-eki, and interviewing stakeholders, planners, and tourists.
Results: The differences between highway rest areas in South Korea and Japan's Michi-no-eki were identified. Michi-no-eki serves as a hub for local creation by utilizing local specialties and tourism resources to increase interaction among populations, fulfilling the role of tourism that satisfies both tourists and local residents. In other words, Michi-no-eki is perceived and utilized as a hub for regional revitalization and tourism, rather than merely as rest stops for transportation facilities, making significant contributions to local communities.
Conclusion: Visiting Michi-no-eki leads tourists to engage in various services such as purchasing local specialties or obtaining tourism information, while serving local residents in providing public information and acting as local hub facilities. Michi-no-eki can be viewed as a form of sustainable tourism that satisfies both tourists and local residents. Such a platform would ultimately become the ultimate goal that open-style highway rest areas should aim for.
The influence of psychological factors on the frequency and perception of post-endodontic pain
Authors: Mijailovic Marija , Kolak Veljko
Published: March 2024

Background/Aim. Post-endodontic pain (PEP) is associated with the presence of any uncomfortable feeling or sensitivity that occurs within a few hours or a few days after the endodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association between psychological factors and the frequency and perception of PEP. Methods. The study sample consisted of 140 patients with incisors, canines, or premolars indicated for root canal treatment (RCT) without periapical pathology. A single experienced endodontist was involved in the procedure, and the same clinical protocol was used for all the patients. Participants psychometric evaluation was done using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21). PEP levels were assessed using a Visual Analog Scale at different intervals (24, 48, and 72-hour intervals and after a week). Results. The presence of postoperative pain was reported in 63.6% of the respondents. The vast majority rated the pain intensity as mild, and the pain significantly decreased over evaluated time intervals. Participants who exhibited higher scores for depression, anxiety, and stress reported significantly higher pain intensity. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tooth type (p = 0.001) and high anxiety score (p = 0.035) were directly associated with the occurrence of pain after therapy. Conclusion. Psychological factors, such as depression, stress, and anxiety, influenced pain perception after RCT treatment, and a high anxiety score was directly associated with the frequency of post-obturation pain.

Background: Assessment of homologous recombinant deficient (HRD) phenotypes is key for managing Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) treatment. To accommodate the need for a validated HRD platform and enhance targeted treatment of ovarian cancer patients, a Nordic core facility for the myChoice® CDx platform was established in Denmark.
Materials and methods: Comparative calculations and statistics are based on information from test requisitions and results (Genome Instability Score [GIS], BRCA status and combined HRD status) obtained from ovarian and breast cancer samples submitted for HRD-testing by myChoice® CDx through the Nordic core facility in the 2-year period.
Results: Copenhagen University Hospital received 1,948 requisitions during the 2-year period. Conclusive results were obtained in 89% of the tests, while 7% were inconclusive due to the lack of GIS and 4% were not able to be analysed. Comparing the conclusive HRD status results across countries, Sweden had the highest percentage of HRD positives (38%) compared to Denmark, Norway, and Finland (28–32%).
Interpretation: The myChoice® CDx Nordic core facility has been well received among the Nordic countries and provides new insights on the influence of national guidelines on HRD testing. Overall, we experienced an efficient turnaround time and a high fraction of conclusive results. Interestingly, prior somatic BRCA testing is redundant when assessing HRD status through myChoice® CDx test since somatic BRCA screening is already a significant component of the myChoice® CDx test. Thus, it should be considered to omit prior somatic BRCA testing to ensure a rationalised HRD diagnostic flow optimised for clinical use.
A cumulatividade dos ativos fiscais diferidos e seus efeitos em pequenos, médios e grandes bancos
Authors: Monte-Mor Danilo Soares , Almeida Rodrigo Ferraz de
Published: March 2024

Objetivo: Este estudo investiga a cumulatividade dos Ativos Fiscais Diferidos (AFD) em bancos e propõe recomendações técnicas acerca da divulgação e uso desses ativos.

Problema: Embora o detalhamento dos Ativos Fiscais Diferidos (AFD) nos relatórios financeiros dos bancos deva seguir a Resolução CMN 4.842/2020, que atende ao Princípio da Oportunidade Contábil, a compreensão da cumulatividade do estoque desses ativos e seus impactos financeiros requer maior atenção regulatória, principalmente em função da capacidade de suavização de resultados atribuída ao uso desses ativos.

Metodologia: A partir de dados entre 2017 e 2021 obtidos junto aos relatórios financeiros semestrais COSIF, foi analisada a cumulatividade dos AFD de 121 bancos brasileiros, bem como sua relação com a performance e sua distribuição entre bancos de diferentes tamanhos.

Resultados: Verificou-se que os AFD suavizaram os resultados dos bancos a partir da redução de recolhimentos dos tributos sobre o lucro e aumento da lucratividade. Os bancos, principalmente pequenos e médios, atenderam de forma parcial a Resolução CMN 4.842/2020. Os AFD, embora seja uma conta de ajuste fiscal, não possuem divulgação clara o suficiente acerca de quanto, quando e como os créditos foram gerados e usados em determinado período.

Conclusão: Embora possam gerar oportunidades para o banco no curto prazo mediante redução da base de cálculo dos tributos sobre vendas, tal medida vem acompanhada de incertezas para os investidores quanto a operações reais. Em termos regulatórios, discute-se a necessidade da elaboração de recomendações técnicas que tornam obrigatória a publicação das origens e finalidade de uso dos AFD.
Capital Market Efficiency and Economic Growth: Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Ahmed Fakrul , Chowdhury Md Ataur Rahman
Published: March 2024

This study explores the influence of capital market efficiency on Bangladesh’s economic growth, using time series data covering market capitalization, total market turnover, and stock price indices from 2011 to 2022. The application of a multiple regression model reveals that the Bangladesh capital market has the potential to contribute significantly to the country’s economic growth. This potential is attributed to the notable characteristics of high market capitalization and relatively robust market liquidity. Consequently, it is recommended that market organizations and regulations be structured to attract a substantial number of both domestic and foreign investors, encouraging substantial listings, investments, and trading. Such measures are crucial to achieving the central objective of optimally allocating economic resources for the sustained and resilient growth of the nation.

Published: March 2024

This article contains the following results of research the diagnosis of genital endometriosis of uterine preparations by the methods of polarization- phase Muller- matrix introscopy.The aim of the study. To estimate the eﬀ ectiveness of diﬀ erential diagnosis of genital endometriosis using polarization- phase Muller- matrix introscopy of histological sections of endometrial biopsy.Material and methods. Two groups of samples were studied:● biopsy of «healthy» uterine tissue obtained during diagnostic hysteroscopy – «control group 1.1» – 68 samples;● biopsy of uterine tissue with genital endometriosis – «experimental group 1.2» – 59 samples.Histological sections were made according to the standard technique on a microtome with rapid freezing. Research results. The analysis of the obtained statistical analysis data revealed the adequacy of the prognostic variant of changes in the polycrystalline structure of histological sections of endometrial biopsy. For patients with genital endometriosis, there is a signiﬁ cant increase in linear birefringence.Diagnostic markers of this pathological process are an increase in the average value and dispersion of linear birefringence. The values of asymmetry and kurtosis, on the contrary, decrease.Statistical conﬁ rmation of this is a statistically signiﬁ cant diﬀ erence (pi=1;2;3;4<0.05) between the values of the set of all central statistical moments of the 1st-4th orders, characterize the distributions of the PLD value of histological sections of endometrial biopsy for cases of conditional norm (control group 1.1) and genital endometriosis (experimental group 1.2).Conclusions. Therefore, the conducted set of studies using polarization- phase Muller- matrix introscopy of histological sections of endometrial biopsy revealed a high (up to 100 %) eﬀ ectiveness of diﬀ erential diagnosis of genital endometriosis. Therefore, it is relevant to study the diagnostic capabilities of this technique for more easily accessible objects – biological ﬂ uids.
EVOLUTION OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE GALLBLADDER WALL AT DIFFERENT TERMS OF PERFORMANCE OF LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY
Authors: Holovata Tetiana , Onyskiv Mykhaylo
Published: March 2024

Gallstones are present in approximately 10-15 % of the adult population in Western countries, with 1-4 % of patients experiencing symptoms each year. Recent guidelines have conﬁ rmed that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the mainstay of treatment for acute calculous cholecystitis, but the optimal timing of cholecystectomy is still a matter of debate and research. The purpose of the study is to improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with acute obturation calculous cholecystitis by clinical and morphological substantiation of the optimal terms of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Material and methods. To increase the safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a histological study of micropreparations of the gallbladder wall after laparoscopic cholecystectomy was conducted in 30 patients, who were divided into 2 groups: 1 group – features of morphological and structural changes in the gallbladder wall up to 7 days after the onset of an attack of biliary colic (18 patients; 60 %) and group 2 – peculiarities of the morpho- structural changes of the gallbladder after 7 days from the onset of an acute attack of biliary colic (12 patients, 40 %);The results. On the basis of microscopic examination of histological preparations, it can be stated that in the early stages of the ﬁ rst attack of cholecystitis, acute inﬂ ammation of various morphological types (non-destructive and destructive) occurs in the wall of the gallbladder. In the late period (after 7 days), sclerotic changes develop both in the organ wall and perivesical. The main role in the pathogenesis of the remodeling of the structural components of the gallbladder is played by deep hemodynamic disorders and the prolongation of the inﬂ ammatory process. Circulatory hypoxia, increasing under such conditions, activates the sclerosing process.

Authors: Mohd Faizul Hassan , Naffisah Mohd Hassan
Published: March 2024

E-learning is being implemented in higher educational institutions as a method of teaching and learning. Several studies have been carried out on academic performance, particularly on a group of conventional students. However, only a few have been written on E-learning among PJJ students’ academic performance in E-learning technology. This study was conducted to determine and investigate the relationship between Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) towards Attitude (ATT) and Actual Use (AU) as a factor of Students’ Academic Performance towards e- learning technology among students of the business management faculty enrolled in BA232 Bachelor in Office Systems Management (Hons) at UiTM Puncak Alam. This study took a quantitative and stratified sampling approach with 155 respondents. Statistical methods analyses used were multiple regression and logistic regression. Actual Use (AU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Attitude (ATT), and Actual Use (AU) are significant as the p-values are smaller than = 0.05. E-learning use had a significant influence on students’ academic performance. Thus, the more the students use E-learning, the better their academic performance. This study would benefit online institutions, online / distance instructors, decision-makers at all higher education levels, and online students. The implications for practices, barriers to e-learning, ongoing support by the government, limitations of the study and recommendations for research were discussed.
