Published: September 2024

Breast cancer is the most popular malignancy among Malaysian women. In Malaysia, approximately one in every 19 women is at risk. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Malaysian women (32.9%), followed by colorectal (11.9%) and ovarian cancers (7.2%). Many cases are found to be advanced, with considerable tumour development or metastasis to untreatable locations and unaware of the factors. This study aims to determine the best height triangular fuzzy regression model by adjustment between 0 – 1 and measure the value of statistical error using mean square error (MSE) and root mean square error (RMSE). Secondary data was used where 569 patients having BREAST cancer and receiving treatment in hospitals was recorded by nurses and doctors. The patient data for breast cancer were analysed using MATLAB, SPSS, and Microsoft Excel. Based on the results, H = 0 of fuzzy linear regression is the best model to predict the breast cancer awareness with lowest value of MSE and RMSE by 1.455 and 1.206 respectively. Malaysians must be aware of the warning factors of breast cancer to increase survival and minimise death rates.

Published: September 2024

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neural developmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, communication difficulties, and restricted behaviours. Understanding the disorder and providing necessary social support for guidance and assistance is vital for caregivers, including educators, parents, and the public. The aim of this research is to design and develop a social support mobile app for autistic children’s caregivers named IHEART2U. We design the app by incorporating the empowerment-based design elements to ensure it provides practical assistance but also foster a sense of empowerment and control over their child's development and well-being. Caregivers can feel more confident, informed, and supported in their role. For the design and development, we used the Mobile Development Life Cycle (MADLC) as the methodological approach. During the requirements gathering, we conducted interviews in collaboration with the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM), a private school for children with autism and caretakers. Through thematic analysis, we incorporate four empowerment-based design elements: information support, emotional support, companion, customization, and personalization in the user interface (UI) design of the mobile app. Upon completion of the high-fidelity prototype, we conducted usability testing using the System Usability Scale (SUS) to obtain feedback from the stakeholders. The score was 90.83 above average. The respondents provide constructive feedback on how to improve the app. In conclusion, we believe that by integrating these empowerment design elements, the IHEART2U social support mobile app becomes a source of empowerment, support, and guidance tool for caregivers, helping them navigate the challenges of raising and caring for children with autism. Future work will involve iterative user testing and feedback to further refine and enhance the app's effectiveness.

Published: September 2024

In this study, the damaging aspects of urbanisation is the stress it places on development processes of all kinds, making the proliferation of haphazard housing a problem in many nations throughout the world. While this problem has become worse in large cities and their suburbs for a variety of reasons, it has gotten increasingly concentrated in smaller towns and its environs, either in the form of haphazard housing clusters or as single-family homes interspersed throughout the urban fabric. The city of Al-Kut in the Wasit Governorate is a prototypical example of a tiny city hampered by the proliferation of this phenomena, which has substantially impeded urban development there. Al-Sawadah, Al-Wafideen, and other neighbourhoods are dispersed throughout Kut. After being divided into agricultural and military zones, the undeveloped land in between suffered from random invasion by new developments. Photogrammetry and geographic information systems from 2004 to 2021, researchers can use it to assess the pace of change and the variation between the survey area and the rest of the world.

Authors: Hussain Quadeer , Mohd Noor Ahmad Shukri , Mumtaz Asia , Ahmed Shakeel
Published: September 2024

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has emerged as a promising paradigm that integrates vehicles, communication technologies, and the Internet to foster intelligent transportation systems. To fully exploit the potential of IoV, efficient route optimization models are crucial to optimize energy consumption while ensuring high throughput. This survey paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing research on energy-efficient and throughput-oriented route optimization models in IoV. The primary objective of this survey is to categorize and evaluate various route optimization techniques that focus on enhancing energy efficiency and throughput in the IoV context. We present a systematic review of literature, encompassing academic papers, conference proceedings, and technical reports up to the time of this research. By examining the state-of-the-art approaches, we identify the underlying principles, strengths, and limitations of each method. The survey first delves into the foundational concepts of IoV and their significance in modern transportation systems. We elucidate the challenges faced in IoV route optimization concerning energy consumption, data transformation, bandwidth contention, and network congestion. In the main body of the survey, we classify existing route optimization models based on their energy efficiency and throughput-oriented objectives. The energy-efficient category encompasses methodologies that aim to minimize a node’s energy consumption and extend its battery life, considering factors such as the routing process involved (massage broadcasting and rebroadcasting), link state, and traffic flow patterns. On the other hand, the throughput-oriented category focuses on maximizing information transformation and ensuring low latency during operational time. Furthermore, we identify open challenges and research gaps in the field of energy-efficient and throughput-oriented route optimization for IoV. These gaps pave the way for future research directions, which can lead to the development of more robust, scalable, and adaptive routing solutions. By evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches, we aim to inspire researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs to develop innovative solutions that enhance energy efficiency, maximize throughput, and foster the realization of a smarter and more sustainable transportation ecosystem.

Published: September 2024

There are numerous methods for utilizing waste heat energy from marine diesel engines; however, selecting these methods depends on the load and capacity of these engines, as well as the available area. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to utilize waste heat energy from scavenge air to operate the multi-effect evaporator forward feed (MEE-FF) and assess its performance based on the distillate water’s mass flow rate at various engine loads. A comparison is also made between the multistage flash desalination once-through (MSF-OT) and multistage-desalination brine recirculation (MSF-BR) to determine which is best in extracting engine exhaust waste energy within the available area. Detailed mathematical models were built for three different plants using MATLAB software. On these plants, the effect of various variables like steam temperature, intake water flow rate, and the temperature on the plant performance have been studied. The main result showed that the performance ratio, surface area and distilled mass amount in the MSF-BR are increased by 55%, 50.19%, and 55% for the same input data respectively, while the feed water mass and brine mass are decreased by 50.87% and 34.36%, respectively in comparison to MSF-OT.

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the effect of two significant components of biomass, lignin, and cellulose, on the combustion characteristics of biocoke. Lignin, a complex polymer, and cellulose, a polysaccharide, are widely present in biomass and contribute to its structural integrity. The method used to produce biocoke fuel uses a heating and pressing process. Biomass samples include empty fruit bunches, oil palm fibre, rice husks, mangroves, and sugarcane bagasse. The proximate analysis results showed that the highest water content was recorded in palm oil shells. The ash content recorded from rice husks was 15.21% higher than another biomass. The highest energy value was obtained from palm oil shells at 23.53%. Meanwhile, the empty oil palm fruit bunch biomass sample produced the highest lignin content of 59.43%. However, the cellulose content of empty fruit bunches is lower than that of oil palm fibre (37.34% compared to 42.62%). Overall, the heating and pressing methods used for biocoke production can increase the energy content in biocoke. Thus, biocoke fuel has the potential to be an alternative energy source to replace fossil fuels.

Com a finalidade de alcançar o objetivo deste trabalho foi elaborado e executado um questionário para coleta de dados sendo este aplicado a professores da rede de ensino da cidade de Caicó/RN. A proposta deste trabalho é apresentar a importância das demonstrações no processo de ensino aprendizagem dos alunos e promover uma reflexão dos professores que não a utilizam em sala de aula e facilitar uma melhor compreensão de algumas demonstrações relevantes em sala de aula. Conclusões: Este tema tem sido recorrente em discussões em eventos de ensino e faz-se necessário, ainda, maiores pesquisas sobre como construir um sentido entre outras ferramentas como a história da matemática, a modelagem matemática e as demonstrações em sala de aula. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que existe um consenso quanto à importância das demonstrações mas também expõe que poucos professores a utilizam e que isto se deve a carga horária da disciplina em sala de aula em contrapartida com a alta carga horária dos professores e o pouco tempo para se preparar uma aula que requer uma maior exigência.
Deriving Ritz formulation for the Static Flexural Solutions of Sinusoidal Shear Deformable Beams
Authors: Mama Benjamin Okwudili , Oguaghamba Onyedikachi Aloysius , IKE Charles
Published: September 2024

This paper presents the Ritz variational method for the static bending analysis of sinusoidal shear deformable beams. The theory accounts for transverse shear deformation and satisfies transverse shear stress-free conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the beam. The total potential energy functional for the thick beam bending problem is formulated and minimized using a Ritz procedure. The problem considered simply supported boundary conditions and two cases of loading – uniformly distributed load over the span and point load at the center. The function is a function of two unknown displacement functions constructed in terms of unknown generalized displacement parameters and shape functions that satisfy the boundary conditions. Ritz minimization of the functional is used to find the generalized displacement parameters and then the displacements w(x) and  The displacements and stresses are found for the loading distributions considered. It is found that the results obtained agree remarkably well with the exact results obtained using the theory of elasticity. The differences between the present results and the exact solutions are less than 0.3% for maximum transverse displacement for both cases of loading considered. For uniform load over the beam, the result for l/t = 10 is 0.112% greater than the exact solution. For the point load at the center, the result for l/t = 10 is 4.468% greater than the exact solution. The increased difference in the point load case is due to the singular nature of the point load problem.

Published: September 2024

Using a qualitative-quantitative research design, this study evaluated the influence of online- distance instruction (ODI) on the English language acquisition of college students amidst the Covid-19 pandemic at Partido State University, Camarines Sur, Philippines. The study specifically examined the effects of ODI on college students' performance in terms of: attendance, punctuality, required English language skills and competencies. Furthermore, it analyzed the students' proficiency in English through online-distance learning in the areas of: writing, grammar proficiency, oral communication, study techniques, presentation abilities, and research skills. The study also investigated the students' attitudes towards English language education in the context of online and distance learning. Ultimately, it proposed effective teaching methodologies to enhance students' English language performance in online- distance learning environments of 165 college student- participants. The findings indicate that the impact of online-distance instruction on college students' performance in terms of attendance, punctuality, and required skills and competencies is influenced by various challenges faced by the students. The students' performance in English through online-distance learning is significantly affected by the nature of online and distance learning itself. Moreover, the study revealed that students' attitudes towards English language education in online and distance learning settings are less favorable compared to traditional face-to-face instruction. To enhance students' English language performance in online-distance learning, the study recommends the implementation of three key teaching strategies: lecture method, laboratory method, and cooperative learning. These strategies are deemed beneficial for addressing the needs of student-respondents, particularly in the context of a pandemic in developing countries like the Philippines.

Authors: Aditya K. Rama , Murthy B. Sathyanarayana , Venkatasrinivas Akana Chandramouli
Published: September 2024

The important work of classifying network traffic for control and monitoring is examined in this study. Data protection has taken centre stage as privacy concerns have grown over the last two decades. Online privacy is possible through the Tor network, which is well-known for enabling Onion Services and offering user anonymity. But the abuse of this anonymity—especially with Onion Services—has prompted the government to work on de-anonymizing users. In this work, we address three main goals: first, we achieve over 99% accuracy in distinguishing Onion Service traffic from other Tor traf- fic; second, we assess how well our methods perform in the event that Tor traffic is modified to hide information leaks; and third, we detect the utmost significant article integrations for our classification task. This study tackles issues related to privacy challenges and misuse concerns in network traffic analysis.

Published: September 2024

Cancer detection and treatment is one of the most difficult tasks in modern medicine, hence it has become a priority for researchers to study and develop specific and targeted procedures to patient outcomes. Just recently, the most promising direction is the humanization of explainable AI (XAI) which is a crucial tool for enhancing AI-based decision making in terms of transparency, and understandability. This paper starts out by describing conventional AI techniques for cancer detection and pointing out the informational gaps then delves into XAI's foundations. It explores the role of XAI in cancer detection and treatment by looking at its potential impact on this topic. It first presents the diagnosis of medical imaging data, then a discussion how patients' data will be interpreted by a XAI system and how treatment strategies that are tailored to the individual patient will be developed by optimizing the therapeutic interventions. This paper also presents comprehensive study of the changing side cancer treatment rendered by XAI and explain why further research and cooperation are getting to be of paramount importance in order for it to be fully exploited. Implementation of XAI in screening and treatment techniques for cancer comes to the conclusion of not only revolutionizing precision medicine, but also aiding in the improvement of patient care and will determine oncology practice in future.

Indonesia is a country rich in natural resources, one of which is nickel. Downstreaming is a strategic step by the Indonesian government to add value and increase the value of nickel. Downstreaming practices provide a source of competitive advantage from a strategic management perspective. The study's results show that the Indonesian government is unprepared to implement nickel downstreaming practices, which are characterized by foreign countries dominance in smelter ownership. The study's findings also reveal that the Indonesian government's managerial ability to manage the nickel industry is not yet optimal, which has an impact on nickel oversupply and declining nickel prices due to environmental damage.

Long-Term Elasticity of Environmental Demand: Environmental Protection Expenditures in Sweden, 1972–2020
Authors: Acar Sevil , Lindmark Magnus
Published: September 2024

This study uses reconstructions of historical Environmental Protection Expenditure Accounts (EPEA) in Sweden from 1970–2020 to present a time series approach that analyses the demand for environmental services. The paper’s aim is to analyse environmental adaptation as a historical, economic and environmental process and to explore structural shifts suggestive of an overall periodisation of environmental demand. The article contributes to a deeper understanding of demand-side factors in environmental adaptation as part of contemporary economic history. The investigation also provides evidence that the income elasticity of environmental demand was slightly higher than 1.0 and largely stable over time, and even though we were able to detect trend breaks, there is insufficient evidence for major structural breaks suggesting sharp shifts in societal environmental preferences. Policies requiring sharply rising environmental expenditures should consider this level of historical stability.

Autonomia docente: o que se pesquisa no ensino de ciências
Authors: Santana Kelly De Santana , Massena Elisa Prestes
Published: September 2024

As diversas mudanças que a sociedade vem enfrentando ao longo dos anos vêm impactando diretamente o campo educacional, e, por isso, cada vez mais se torna imprescindível pensar na formação docente. Desta forma, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar como a autonomia docente vem sendo discutida nas pesquisas da área de Ensino de Ciências no Brasil. Portanto, a presente investigação trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada em um levantamento realizado em sete periódicos nacionais classificados pelos Qualis Capes 2013-2016 em A1 e A2 na área de Ensino, sendo eles Ciência & Educação, Ensaio: Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências, Revista de Educação, Ciências e Matemática, Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências, Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Ciência e Tecnologia, Investigações em Ensino de Ciências, Revista de Ensino de Ciências e Matemática e Atas do evento científico Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (ENPEC). A análise desses artigos foi realizada mediante a Análise de Conteúdo, e como resultados podemos identificar que 81% das pesquisas analisadas são empíricas. Além disso, podemos perceber que José Contreras e Paulo Freire aparecem como os referenciais teóricos mais utilizado pelos pesquisadores. Em relação às discussões sobre a autonomia docente nas pesquisas, podemos localizar apontamentos sobre o conceito, como o processo formativo pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento da autonomia e questões que afetam a diminuição da autonomia docente. Com isso, podemos destacar que a autonomia docente é um tema pouco discutido no ensino de Ciências e, por ser tão pertinente, merece mais destaque e investigações direcionadas a ele.

Authors: Lima Jairo Ribeiro de , Marques-Santos Luis Fernando
Published: September 2024

A Biotecnologia é uma área de estudo multidisciplinar que associa diretamente ciência e tecnologia. As questões biotecnológicas e seus produtos afetam a vida da população, o que torna sua abordagem indispensável na escola. Diante disso, o objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver e avaliar um aplicativo educacional para dispositivos móveis com os principais conceitos e aplicações da Biotecnologia. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa que se utiliza de métodos mistos. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi o questionário impresso, e a análise temática foi a técnica para a análise e discussão dos dados. Participaram da pesquisa trinta estudantes do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública estadual da cidade de Santa Helena (PB). O aplicativo desenvolvido foi denominado BIOTEC, indicado, inclusive, na Proposta Curricular do Ensino Médio do estado da Paraíba. Os resultados demonstraram que o uso do aplicativo BIOTEC como ferramenta de ensino de Biotecnologia tem potencial para contribuir com a formação científica, tecnológica e cidadã dos estudantes.
Orientações curriculares para o ensino de matemática em um estudo de aula
Authors: Hartwig Geiciele Raatz , Pozzobon Marta Cristina Cezar
Published: September 2024

O artigo busca compreender distanciamentos e aproximações das orientações curriculares para o ensino de Matemática, a partir de um estudo de aula vivenciado em uma escola pública do sul do Brasil. Contempla uma investigação de abordagem qualitativa, envolvendo três professoras que ensinam Matemática nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. Os dados foram produzidos a partir das quatro primeiras sessões de um ciclo de estudo de aula, que foram gravadas e transcritas para a análise. Os resultados evidenciam alguns distanciamentos das orientações curriculares, devido às dificuldades dos alunos, ao afastamento dos conteúdos para o proposto no ano escolar, levando à aproximação de conteúdos ensinados nos anos iniciais e algumas aproximações no encaminhamento do estudo sobre o conteúdo divisão, as abordagens do proposto nos documentos curriculares para o 6º ano e para os anos anteriores. Conclui-se que, no estudo de aula desenvolvido, mesmo com alguns distanciamentos das orientações curriculares, houve a preocupação com as dificuldades dos alunos, havendo a necessidade de um aprofundamento desses documentos, no sentido de ensinar conteúdos de acordo com o ano escolar dos alunos.
