Published: October 2022

This work evaluates the runtime performance of a single-mode biometric recognition system for fingerprint-based access control to secure premises. To speed up the computation time in this system, we resorted to parallel programming, targeting more loops in the verification module. Our approach would therefore be to parallelize all loops that are computationally intensive during the verification of fingerprints in the database. On this, we exploited Microsoft's Task Parallel Library, specifically exploiting the for and for each loop. On the test set performed in sequential and parallel versions in the different data sizes, namely 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, and 600, we can state that the results obtained by the sequential and parallel implementations of our performance test programs allowed us to determine the best approach. Therefore, it is very clear that the sequential program is too greedy in terms of computation time compared to the parallel program which minimizes the computation time.

Published: October 2022

During the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO), e-marketing became a favourable solution for sellers to interact with customers at home. Today, even though the MCO is no longer in existence, online shopping behaviours have become a new norm because of a long-term impact on the interactions between seller and buyer. Since the number of online marketing is growing, sellers must understand the concept of viral marketing that suits their products. This study analyses the virality of contemporary snack marketing on the Instagram platform using the Susceptible-Infected-Recovery (SIR) model. It is essential for sellers or marketers who want to see how users react to various types of posting. It also makes it easier for customers to get the information from the postings. The parameters used in this model are the number of followers, number of reached users, and number of homepage visits. Data are collected from 14 July 2021 until 11 October 2021 at an Instagram account that promotes a type of chocolate-in-jar snack. There are three types of posting that the admin of the Instagram account frequently uses to gain customer interaction, which are Feed, Reels, and Stories. The most viral posting from each type is observed. The results reveal among the viral posts, Reels recorded the highest virality Â posted on 11 September 2021 (Saturday).

Published: October 2022

Continuous Heart disease and blood pressure are diseases that demand immediate care. Heart disease is currently one of the world's most fatal illnesses, as it always results in death. Pulse Oximeter Reading must be continuously measured, analyzed, and monitored in real-time to ensure that relevant measures may be taken when necessary. In this paper, we present a model that employs IoT to inform users about the incidence of heart disease and high blood pressure in their daily health. The Remote Patient Monitoring System for Covid-19 Patients Based on Oximeter Reading Sensor uses the Web Server ESP32 MAX30100 to replace the present Oximeter Reading monitoring and public broadcasting approaches. In addition, the NodeMCU ESP8266 Wi-Fi module allows the devices to save data in the cloud when connected to the Internet. Also, it is possible to construct effective real-time Heart Rate and Oxygen Level (IoT) monitoring. The findings indicated that users might access and monitor Heart rate and oxygen level via the Web Server regardless of their location in the monitoring region. Furthermore, providing an LCD is incredibly beneficial as it can show readings and ensure the users receive Pulse Oximeter Reading monitoring information when the device is in operation.

Authors: Rostam Aina Humaira , Shafii Nor Hayati Binti , Fauzi Nur Fatihah , Md Nasir Diana Sirmayunie , Mohamad Nor Nor Azriani
Published: October 2022

On March 11,2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 as a global pandemic. The spread of Covid-19 has threatened many lives in nearly every country. In Malaysia, the health authorities have expressed concerns over an increasing number of cases and deaths. Due to the lockdown, this pandemic has also had an impact on most economic activities.  Consequently, it is crucial to develop a reliable forecasting model to anticipate the number of cases. This study proposes two models: Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MPNN) in predicting the number of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia. Using Mean Absolute Error (MAE), the effectiveness and forecasting accuracy of the two models are compared and assessed.  The lowest the value of MAE, the more accurate the forecasted outputs.  The secondary data used in this study was the average number of Covid-19 cases each day in Malaysia from March 1, 2020, to March 29, 2021.  To evaluate the data, RStudio and Alyuda NeuroIntelligence are utilised.  As a consequence, the ARIMA (4,1,5) model provided the best fit to the data when compared to other ARIMA models, with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) score of 1096.799.  However, Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MPNN), which had the lowest MAE value of 334.591, outperformed ARIMA in terms of performance.  The MPNN model was then used to forecast the number of Covid-19 instances for the next 30 days.  According to the findings, daily increases in cases are anticipated.

Authors: Kasim Zurina , Muhamad Rosli Nur Anis Liyana
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the global expansion of online food delivery (OFD) services. Food delivery services are comparable to courier services in that the ordered food is delivered to customers by workers or rider delivery companies. As the number of OFD companies continues to rise, the selection of OFD companies, such as GrabFood, Foodpanda, Halo Delivery, and others, is extremely competitive. Customers must choose carefully which OFD companies offer the best services. The objectives of this research are to investigate the evaluation criteria for OFD companies, then evaluate the OFD companies based on the evaluation criteria and rank the best OFD companies that provide the best services to customers in Perlis based on certain criteria. As a result, this study proposes a solution to this problem by developing a technique from multi criteria decision making (MCDM) known as the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to determine the relative importance of criteria used in ranking OFD services. This study’s findings indicate that Foodpanda is the most preferred food delivery service, followed by Grabfood and Halo Delivery. The most crucial main criteria is the economy, with discounts and offers as the priority sub-criteria. The second most important criterion is service quality, and the last is technology.

Authors: Syed Abas Sharifah Fhahriyah , Muhamad Fauzuk Nurulain Nabilah
Published: October 2022

The effects of Covid-19 are not only in terms of health, but many things arise along with its existence. One of them is poverty. Due to this, Universiti Teknologi MARA(UiTM) has taken the initiative to offer several financial aids to the affected students. However, the students must fill in the application form to obtain the aid. They need to provide the supporting documents such as parents pay slip, information on family dependent and so on, which will be inspected, graded and selected by the committee to determine the qualification for the financial aids. Due to this, it will be a long process to select the rightful applicants, which involves a significant length of time as it consisted of hundreds of applicants. Hence, the aim of this study is to select and rank the most eligible candidates among UiTM Perlis students with fairness, fast and accurate manner. In this study, the Fuzzy Technique for Others Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method was used to solve the problem. The model was run using Microsoft Excel. The selection of UiTM Perlis students were based on a set of criteria that had been predetermined which includes family income, occupation and the number of dependent in the family. The findings of the study showed that from 35 samples of UiTM Perlis students, the highest-ranking was student 35 (S35) with 1.0000 relative closeness. Meanwhile, the lowest ranking was student 30 (S30) with 0.6478 relative closeness. It is also shown that all samples are qualified to receive financial aid due to sufficient allocation amount provided by UiTM Perlis. As a result, the mistakes during the selection process can be reduced by using this method compared to manual selection. Thus, making it easier and faster to channel the aid. All in all, it has been demonstrated that this method is very suitable to be used in this study.

Published: October 2022

Gold price is important to a country’s economy as it can be used as a hedge against inflation especially during financial turmoil. Besides, the gold price also has an impact on the stock market price. As an investor, to make a good investment plan, information regarding the fluctuation price of gold is necessary to minimize the risk. Therefore, this study proposes to compare two of the forecasting models, namely Holt's Double Exponential Smoothing and Fuzzy Time Series Markov Chain to forecast the price of gold. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) are used to determine a better forecasting model with smaller error. Initially, the data price of gold is analysed by using Durbin Watson Test to check the suitability of the data for time series analysis. The finding of this study shows that Fuzzy Time Series Markov Chain is more accurate in predicting gold price as compared to Holt’s Double Exponential Smoothing because it produces smaller values of RMSE and MAPE.
Heutagogical Approach in Online English Pronunciation Learning: Student Awareness Survey
Authors: Mohd Noor Noorfaizalfarid , Shafie Latisha Asmaak , Kamarulzaman Nuralya Maisarah
Published: October 2022

English language learners have difficulties in English in pronouncing fricative consonants, voiced and voiceless TH, plosive consonants and vowel sounds. Serious speech mistakes can lead to miscommunication since poor pronunciation abilities make it difficult for other people to hear what you are saying. Additionally, students may miss their lecturers' direct explanations of proper pronunciation when taking online English lessons with inconsistent Internet access. Proper pronunciation can help students participate in conversations, form connections, and improve graduates' employability abilities. Furthermore, pronunciation skills are learnt independently at higher education institutions. Before designing a web-based tool for self-directed learning of English pronunciation, the designers must get feedback from the students about their self-directed learning, self-evaluation of English language proficiency and English learning experiences through Online Distance Learning (ODL). This survey is a preliminary survey towards the development of a heutagogical English pronunciation application. An online questionnaire was disseminated to 424 respondents from various higher education institutions in Malaysia. Â In this survey, firstly we aimed to get feedback from the students about their self-directed learning, self-evaluation of English language proficiency and English learning experiences through Online Distance Learning (ODL). The survey consisted of demographic data of respondents, standardized test of English language proficiency, self-evaluation of English language proficiency and English language learning experiences during COVID-19. The findings suggested that although language learners have developed their self-directed learning skills, they still need to improve these skills in learning the language using ODL. Learners consider themselves as having average English language proficiency. They were responsible for improving their pronunciation skills and needed assistant tools to improve their pronunciation skills. It is recommended that an application that uses a heutagogical approach such as Speech-to-Text and Text-to Speech need to be developed.

"Effect of Down-Hole Lithological Variation on Water Bearing Capacity of Some Boreholes in Ilorin, Nigeria. The paper attempts to explain the effect of downhole lithological variation on water bearing capacity of some boreholes in Ilorin Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined the lithological characteristics of the boreholes, assessed the variability in weathered overburden and analyzed the inter-relationships between lithology, hydrology and topography of the boreholes. Data used were extracted from twenty (20) borehole logs collected from the archive of Lower Niger Basin Development Authority in Ilorin. Information extracted from the borehole logs are: the number of lithological units intersected by each of the borehole and their depths, the nature of geological materials making up the lithological units and their moisture conditions. Information on coordinates and topographic heights of the boreholes are not given on the logs and those were collected from the field personally by the researcher using handheld GPS (Garmin GPS Channel 76 Model). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results reveal nine downhole lithological units with loamy and lateritic soil making up the first layer of lithology in 95% of the boreholes. Thickness of the top soil and the saprolite overlying the bedrock, has mean values of 4.2m and 11.3m respectively. Depth to water in the borehole ranged between 24.7 and 140m and with a mean value of 55.9m. Three (3) of the boreholes have two lenses of aquifer while the remaining seventeen (17) have one aquifer lens each. The three (3) boreholes with two aquifer lenses have their minor aquifers located within the saprolite. The main aquifer in most (65%) of the boreholes is located within the fractured basement while the remaining (35%) boreholes have their main aquifer located in the weathered basement. Correlation analysis revealed topographic elevation as one of the drivers of hydrology in the study area. Keywords: lithology, groundwater, saprolite, basement, topography. "
EXPLORING MENTAL HEALTH IN ROMANIA FROM ECONOMIC POINT OF VIEW AND EMPLOYEES’ PERCEPTION
Authors: MITU Florina-Gabriela , BOTA Marius
Published: October 2022

Mental well-being is and will continue to be part of what defines an individual's health today. Even if it is a subject with great international notoriety, many cultures and nations do not have concrete definitions or even words to describe mental health and its diseases. Moreover, this is present today most often in the workplace. Examples like late hours worked overtime, mixing family time with work time, neglecting sleep and proper nutrition are related in the action of reaching a target or a deadline. All these few examples are just the premature actions of those who predict and describe the beginnings of mental disorders, such as depression or advanced insomnia. The purpose of this paper was to be observed the actions and costs registered at the European level to combat these mental health conditions, as well as the influence of the pandemic both during and its perception after the lifting of restrictions in Romania at the workplace. Also, to find out the influence of this mental health condition on the economic efficiency and the situations recorded on the labor force as well as the perception of people who have a job in a field or company with a very low notoriety on the labor market. It was wanted to know and highlight the presence of stress that leads to the instability of mental health in Romania both among adults and in the case of young adults. The existence of promotion campaigns in Romania at a workplace and the relationship with the superiors in the event of the occurrence of situations that trigger these states of restlessness and anxiety, as well as the identification of ways to combat problems at the local and national level, are also present as subject of interest in this paper.

Una cartografía del derecho a la vivienda en la Corte Cuprema de Justicia de la Nación Argentina (2013-2020)
Authors: Rogers Tamara Belén
Published: October 2022

En el presente me propongo realizar una sistematización y análisis de los fallos judiciales dictados por la Corte Suprema de la Nación Argentina (CSJN) en el período temporal 2013-2020, en los cuales el Estado (municipal, provincial o nacional) haya resultado demandado por el cumplimiento del Derecho a la Vivienda.

Una vez identificados todos los casos y dentro de ellos, todas las resoluciones dictadas; se construirá el universo total. Luego, se sistematizarán en una base de datos y finalmente se establecerá el alcance otorgado a este derecho, indagando en qué casos, a qué sujetos y en qué condiciones se les reconoce el Derecho a la Vivienda; utilizando para ello la metodología denominada etnografía jurídica.

Los resultados obtenidos permitieron visibilizar en primer término que una gran parte de las causas que arribaron a la CSJN en materia de vivienda han sido desestimadas. En segundo lugar se pudo observar que el máximo tribunal de justicia de nuestro país ha seleccionado para expedirse los casos más fáciles, es decir, los casos que son extremos por encontrarse involucradas personas que atraviesan una grave situación angustiante. Finalmente, se detectó que transcurrieron 9 años del último fallo emblemático de la CSJN en materia de vivienda, “Q. C., S. Y. c/ Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires s/ amparo”; sin que haya habido luego ningún pronunciamiento de avanzada sobre la materia.

Se concluye que la clase de remedios adoptados por la CSJN ante la violación del derecho a la vivienda son débiles y que deviene imprescindible el dictado de sentencias dialógicas y la implementación del litigio estructural.

Published: October 2022

O artigo apresenta a estruturação e a aplicação do Programa de Formação de Competência em Informação para bibliotecários do Sistema Integrado de Bibliotecas da Universidade Federal de São Carlos, Brasil. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar como as etapas transversais de planejamento e de mapeamento da Competência em Informação nos níveis institucional e de ensino foram determinantes para o delineamento das estratégias formativas. O Programa é constituído por uma frente de atuação voltada para o aperfeiçoamento profissional da equipe do SIBi e a outra frente direcionada para o empreendimento de eventos, de atividades e de criação de materiais voltados para o atendimento de demandas da comunidade acadêmica. A pesquisa é de abordagem qualitativa de cunho descritivo-exploratória. Fez-se uso da observação participante e do questionário para compreender, holística e integradamente, o objeto em foco. Relatou-se em um primeiro momento, o alinhamento das atividades do Programa com o framework de Santos (2020) cujo resultado dessa intersetorialidade culminou no 1º Ciclo de Formação de CoInfo dos bibliotecários da equipe. Em um segundo momento, descreveu-se todo o Programa a partir dos princípios do Plano de Ação da International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (2007) em que se constatou que todas as atividades propostas no Programa corroboram com a ascensão de competências transversais, tendência preconizada no relatório International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (2021). Evidencia-se que apoio institucional é um diferencial, visto que os objetivos do programa devem estar em consonância com os da biblioteca a fim de que os bibliotecários sejam sensibilizados sobre sua participação e contribuição na melhoria do atendimento à comunidade. Espera-se que a experiência relatada possa servir como norteadora para que bibliotecários alinhem, junto à instâncias gestoras e políticas de sua instituição, ações de formação e atualização de seus conhecimentos sobre a Competência em Informação
Plataformas de gestão de dados de pesquisa
Authors: Sayão Luís Fernando , Sales Luana Farias
Published: October 2022

Dados de pesquisa bem gerenciados, não um ambiente de pesquisa contemporâneo, são reconhecidos como fator essencial para uma pesquisa de alta qualidade, pois uma boa gestão os torna mais propensos a serem reutilizados, ou se traduz em um maior coeficiente de colaboração entre os cientistas, maximizando o retorno investimento das agências de fomento à pesquisa, maior transparência nos métodos e fluxos de trabalho, possibilitando a reprodutibilidade de dois experimentos científicos. No entanto, a gestão de dados é um problema multifacetado que demanda tecnologias, estruturas organizacionais, conhecimentos humanos e habilidades para agregar, de forma complementar, um amplo espectro de variáveis, caracterizando-se, desta forma, como uma complexa equação de resolução. Diante desse desafio, a presente pesquisa parte da seguinte questão: Existem repositórios suficientes para resolver todos os desafios apresentados pelo gerenciamento de dados de pesquisa? Para respondê-la, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa teórica e exploratória, baseada na análise da literatura e na observação de repositórios e plataformas de serviços disponíveis emRede, culminou neste ensaio, cujo objetivo é apresentar o conceito de "Plataforma de Gerenciamento de Dados de Pesquisa" como uma possível alternativa para a resolução de diversos desafios encontrados por pesquisadores e acadêmicos, que buscam encontrar, acessar, compartilhar e reutilizar dados como insumos para nova pesquisa. Concluí que a gestão de dados deve ser orientada para a oferta de um conjunto de serviços que podem ser classificados como científicos, computacionais, informacionais e administrativos. Esses serviços devem dar suporte a fluxos de trabalho disciplinares, metodologias de processamento e análise por meio de infraestruturas computacionais e de informação específicas e incorporar expertise multidisciplinar capaz de lidar com os ambientes e processos tecnologicamente sofisticados da pesquisa atual.

Published: October 2022

Dentro de las bibliotecas y demás unidades de información, la organización del conocimiento (OC) es un eje central de los procesos. Para llevar a cabo una eficiente OC, se utilizan diversos sistemas de organización del conocimiento (SOC), entre ellas los tesauros. Diversas normativas internacionales reglan el diseño y la construcción de los tesauros. En el presente artículo se analiza el diseño y desarrollo de tesauros por parte de estudiantes de bibliotecología de un instituto superior de educación, tomando como referencia las pautas publicadas en la norma ISO 25.964. La actividad, diseñada para el fortalecimiento de la comprensión de su estructura y uso, se desarrolló en un período de seis semanas y en modalidad virtual y a distancia. Tras la realización de la actividad se analizaron aspectos cualitativos y cuantitativos del producto generado, a saber: temáticas de los tesauros desarrollados, uso de descriptores, no descriptores e identificadores, presencia de las relaciones equivalentes, jerárquicas y asociativas entre los términos y empleo de variantes tipográficas, abreviaturas, calificadores y notas de alcance. El desarrollo de esta actividad expuso una apropiación deficiente de los conceptos relacionados al vocabulario de entrada de un tesauro y de las relaciones de equivalencia. Se demostró la importancia del conocimiento temático del dominio de parte de quien realice esta tarea como un factor que asegura el eficaz desarrollo del trabajo. La actividad es altamente recomendada en las asignaturas que aborden las actividades de análisis.

Radiation dose and image quality in a pediatric interventional cardiology team
Authors: Ubeda Carlos , Miranda Patricia , Dalmazzo Dandaro
Published: October 2022

The optimized methodology and results of the new characterization in terms of dose and image quality of the X-ray system used in the main pediatric hemodynamics service in Chile are presented. In addition, scattered dose rate values at the operator’s eye level are reported for all acquisition modes available in different thicknesses of absorbent media and angiography. The characterization was performed according to the European DIMOND and SENTINEL protocols adapted to pediatric procedures. The air kerma at the entrance surface (ESAK) was measured and the image quality parameters signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and a figure of merit (FOM) were calculated. The scattered dose rate was measured in personal dose equivalent units. The ESAK for fluoroscopic modes ranged from 0.2 to 35.6 μGy/image when passing from 4 to 20 cm of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). For the cine mode, these values ranged from 2.8 to 160.1 μGy/image. The values of the image quality parameters showed a correct system configuration, although abnormal values were observed in the medium fluoroscopic mode. As for the scattered dose rate at the level of the cardiologist’s eyes, the highest value is PMMA with a thickness of 20 cm, where the cine mode reached 9.41 mSv·h-1. The differences found from previous evaluations can be explained by the deterioration of the system and the change of one of the X-ray tubes.

In recent years, ghost imaging has made important progress in the field of remote sensing imaging. In order to promote the application of solar ghost imaging in this field, this paper studies the computational ghost imaging based on the incoherent light of blackbody radiation. Firstly, according to the intensity probability density function of blackbody radiation, the expression of contrast-to-noise ratio (RCN) describing the quality of computational ghost imaging is obtained, and then the random speckle pattern simulating blackbody radiation is generated by computer with the idea of slice sampling, finally, a digital light projector is used to modulate and generate the random modulated light that simulates the blackbody radiation light source, and this light source is used to realize the computational ghost image of the reflective object in the experiment. The “ghost image” of the object under different measurement frame numbers is reconstructed, and the contrast-to-noise ratio describing the imaging quality is measured. The results show that the image quality is relatively good when the average intensity (gray) of the randomly modulated speckle is about 160. On the other hand, the contrast-to-noise ratio of the image gradually increases from 0.8795 to 1.241, 1.516, 1.755, 2.100 and 2.371 as the number of measurement frames increases from 2,000 to 4,000, 6,000, 8,000, 12,000 and 20,000, respectively. The experimental results are basically consistent with the theoretical analysis. The results are of great significance for the application of ghost imaging with incoherent light, such as sunlight, which is approximately regarded as blackbody radiation, in the field of remote imaging.

Objective: To describe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the brain in patients younger than 65 years who were studied by transcranial Doppler (TCD) with microbubble contrast, with a history of cryptogenic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and suspected patent foramen ovale (PFO).Materials and methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients of both sexes, younger than 65 years of age.Results: Our sample (n = 47.47% male and 53% female, mean age is 42 years) presented high-intensity transient signals (HITS) positive in 61.7% and HITS-negative in 38.3%. In HITS-positive patients, lesions at the level of the subcortical U-brains, single or multiple with bilaterally symmetrical distribution, predominated. In patients with moderate HITS, lesions in the vascular territory of the posterior circulation predominated.Conclusion: In patients younger than 65 years with cryptogenic stroke and subcortical, single or multiple U-shaped lesions with bilateral and symmetrical distribution, a PFO should be considered as a possible cause of these lesions.

The possibility of preoperative prediction of pathologic complete response in rectal cancer has been studied in order to identify patients who would respond to neoadjuvant therapy and to individualize therapeutic strategies. Endoscopic ultrasound of the rectum is an accurate method for the evaluation of local tumor and lymph node invasion. Objective: To evaluate the potential of endoscopic ultrasound as a predictor of complete pathological response to neoadjuvant treatment in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Material and methods: Retrospective study of patients with rectal cancer from January 2014 to December 2016. Results: We obtained a statistical association between T stage by endoscopic ultrasound and complete pathological response (p = 0.015). It is not so for N, sphincter involvement, circumferential involvement and maximum tumor thickness (p = 0.723, p = 0.510, p = 0.233 and p = 0.114, respectively). When multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the degree of inﬂuence of the predictor variables on pathologic response, none of these variables was associated with complete pathologic response. Conclusion: Prediction of pathologic complete response in rectal cancer has been considered as the crucial point upon which treatments for rectal cancer could be individualized. So far, no imaging method has been able to demonstrate efficacy in predicting complete pathologic response, and in turn there is no direct association between any endosonographic finding that can accurately predict it.
Generation of (industrial) noise maps from geographic information systems. An approach from the literature
Authors: Duque Gustavo Andrés Romero , Calderón Jairo Acero , Becerra Marcela Jaimes
Published: October 2022

Context: Noise in the work environment, in all types of productive activities, represents a hazard and has not really been valued in its real dimension. Little has been seen that stakeholders have determined the urgency of managing noise control programs. Therefore, losses resulting from medical treatment and absenteeism, represented in health care and social services, result in hidden work-related costs that directly affect the gross domestic product in any country.Method: This article compiles different case studies from around the world. The studies were divided for review into general studies on the effects of workforce noise and then particularized according to the effects of industrial noise on workers’ health. At a control level, the assessment and measurement of noise is defined through the use of tools such as noise maps and their respective derivations, in addition to spatial databases.Results: According to the collection of information and its analysis, we observe that in the medium term, the economies will be diminished in an important percentage due to the consequences generated by the exposure to noise. Specific information can be found in the development of the article.Conclusions: The data provided by the case studies point to the need for Colombia, a country that is no stranger to this phenomenon, and which additionally has the great disadvantage of not having significant studies in the field of noise analysis, should strengthen studies based on spatial data as a mechanism for measurement and control.Financing: Fundación universitaria Los Libertadores

Aiming at the problem of road network multi-scale matching, a multi-scale road matching method under the constraint of road mesh of small-scale data has been proposed. First, two road meshes with different scale data are constructed; Secondly, under the constraint of the small-scale road mesh, the composite mesh composed of several road meshes in the large-scale road is extracted, and the mesh matching with the small-scale road mesh is completed; Then, many-to-many matching of road meshes with different scales is realized; finally, the matching relationship between composite mesh and small-scale road mesh is transformed into the matching between multi-scale road mesh boundary roads and internal roads, and the matching of the whole road network is completed. The experimental results show that this method can better realize the matching of multi-scale road network.

Cancer is a challenging ailment and represents the main reason for death worldwide for humans and animals. Although great developments have hindered cancer progression, several adverse effects are associated with modern chemotherapy. Natural remedies, such as the usage of medicinal plant or their products in cancer treatment, may decrease prejudicial side properties. Recently, the modern research scheme and innovative screening practices for herbs or plants have enabled phytochemical discovery for the prevention and treatment of cancer. This criticism highlights herbs such as acacia, basil, black seeds, cedar, castus, ficus, garlic, ginger, indigo, onion, pomegranate, quince, and thyme, promising anticancer effects. The present review also revealed the mode of action of each herb as anticancer effects at level in vitro and in vivo studies. The item also totalizes the vital mechanisms and signaling molecules involved in preventing cancer diseases. This will fill the investigation gap in the exploration of using natural molecules and encourage researchers in clinical trials of anticancer agents from herbs for humans and animals.

Authors: Nafis Badratun , Bintang Sanusi
Published: October 2022

This study analyses the similarities and differences of maternity protection under Indonesia and Malaysia's Labor Law. The method used in this research is a normative and comparative approach. This study shows several differences in maternity protection from both laws, such as the duration of maternity leave and the provision of breastfeeding entitlement. However, few similarities are also found, such as both laws provide social and health protection under the labor law. Malaysian lawmakers should revise the Employment Act 1955, which covers work protection and breastfeeding, and both countries should ratify the Maternity Protection Convention of 2000 to better protect women workers in the workplace.Keywords: Maternity protection, Women worker, International convention, Indonesia and Malaysia labor law.
