Authors: Septika Nurleni
Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the Effectiveness of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) in building student character at SD Negeri 149 Palembang. The main focus of the research is to understand how values such as mutual cooperation, independence, noble character, and global diversity are internalised by students through the implementation of P5 as well as to evaluate the challenges and successes in the implementation of the project. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of Diagnostic Assessments, observations, and in-depth interviews with teachers and students related to P5 activities. The results of the study show that P5 at SD Negeri 149 Palembang has been very effective in building students' character. The value of mutual cooperation and independence showed a high level of internalization, with more than 80% and 85% of students showing good cooperative behavior initiative in independent learning and cooperation. However, the value of global diversity and noble character still requires further efforts to be internalized more deeply, even though there has been progress in 60-65% of students while the value of creative and critical reasoning is at 70%. This study adds empirical insights into how the implementation of P5 in elementary schools concretely contributes to the development of students' character related to the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning method in the context of character education in Indonesia.
Intégrité de la recherche

Published: December 2024

Entre 2 et 4 % des chercheurs admettent avoir déjà falsifié ou fabriqué leurs données. La prévalence de ces comportements contraires à l’éthique peut atteindre 10 % dans certaines disciplines ou certains pays. La falsification de données est une forme exacerbée de pratiques de recherche douteuses qui sont à la fois moins problématiques et beaucoup plus répandues : des enquêtes menées dans différentes disciplines ont montré que plus de la moitié des chercheurs effectuent une forme de compte-rendu sélectif ou ajoutent de nouvelles données jusqu’à obtenir des résultats significatifs. Les pratiques non éthiques nuisent à la qualité globale de la recherche.

A partir du moment où elles sont validées par peer-reviewing, les données fabriquées, déformées ou sélectionnées figurent ensuite dans revues de la littérature et méta-analyses. Elles peuvent à leur tour influencer les orientations de la recherche future ou même les décisions politiques avec des implications larges en matière de santé, d’économie ou de politique.

Les incitations négatives font, en la matière, l’objet d’une attention particulière : les éditeurs, les institutions et les évaluateurs de la recherche tendent à favoriser les recherches inédites qui ne se contentent pas de confirmer les hypothèses courantes. Le manque d’outils, de normes et de flux de travail adéquats pour gérer efficacement les données est également un problème fondamental. Dans la plupart des disciplines, la collecte de données n’est pas bien organisée ni maintenue : on estime que la moitié des ensembles de données créés dans les années 1990 en sciences de la vie sont déjà perdus. Les pratiques de recherche douteuses découlent en partie des lacunes courantes dans la gestion des données scientifiques.

La science ouverte et le partage des données ont récemment émergé comme un cadre commun pour résoudre les problèmes d’intégrité de la recherche. Bien qu’initialement centrée sur l’accès aux publications, le mouvement de la science ouverte concerne plus largement la transparence à toutes les étapes du cycle de vie de la recherche. La diffusion des ensembles de données dans des dépôts et des infrastructures ouverts a déjà largement résolu les principaux problèmes de préservation à long terme. Elle garantit également que les erreurs potentielles ou les ajustements des indicateurs statistiques peuvent être corrigés par la suite, car les analyses et réplications ultérieures ont accès à la source de données d’origine.

La science ouverte modifie la nature du débat sur l’intégrité de la recherche, qui jusque-là était resté largement détaché de l’espace public. 60 à 90 % de l’audience des plateformes scientifiques ouvertes provient de professionnels non académiques et de citoyens privés. Cette diffusion accrue crée de nouvelles responsabilités mais aussi de nouvelles opportunités d’impliquer les acteurs non académiques dans l’esprit de la science citoyenne.

Published: December 2024

As a result of the increasing use of quantum dots (QDs) and increased exposure of human beings to quantum dots, the study of the toxicity of the particles has become an important issue. In this study, the protective activity of silymarin and mitoquinone (MitoQ), which are known to have antioxidant properties, on the histopathological and biochemical changes observed in the liver of mice treated with CdTe QDs was investigated. 26 male Swiss mice were randomly divided into four groups: Control (G1), CdTe QDs (G2), silymarin + CdTe QDs (G3), mitoquinone + CdTe QDs (G4) application groups. Animals were sacrificed 24 hours (h) after injections and hyperspectral microscopy images were obtained. According to the ICP–MS results, the CdTe QDs injected through the tail vein accumulated in the liver at the end of 24 h and caused tissue damage according to the hematoxylin & eosin examination, and better preservation was observed with the antioxidant pre–treatment. The immunofluorescence results showed increased inflammation and apoptosis in the QDs group. It was observed that silymarin and mitoquinone decreased anti–MMP–9, anti–IL–10, anti–IL–1b, anti–TNF–α, and anti–caspase–9, TUNEL–positive cell ratio, liver MDA levels. There was no significant difference in serum TAS (P=0.509), TOS (P=0.588) levels, but antioxidants also increased tissue SOD and CAT levels. Antioxidants had no significant effect on anti–MT–MMP2 and anti–caspase–8 levels (P<0.001). In conclusion, it was shown that pretreatment of CdTe QD–administered mice with silymarin and mitoquinone can reduce oxidative stress in liver tissue and may have a protective effect through reduction of apoptosis and inflammation.

Sustainable Approaches for Biohydrogen Production Technology
Authors: Goel Simmi , Singla Cheryl
Published: December 2024

The excessive burning of fossil fuels causes environmental pollution by releasing carbon dioxide, which ultimately causes global warming. There is an urgent need for alternative sustainable fuels which give higher energy yields, are pollution-free and are renewable. The standard hydrogen production methods are the electrolysis of water and steam reformation of natural gas. However, the biological production of hydrogen proved to be safer and more renewable over thermochemical and electrochemical methods. The biological methods are a good alternative in which microorganisms play an essential role by consuming the carbon sources from the biomass resulting in the production of hydrogen in return. Biohydrogen is an alternative to fossil fuels, is clean, has high-energy content per unit of weight, and has zero greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen, an energy source derived from industrial and agricultural waste, can resolve sustainability issues, environmental carbon emissions, and energy security.

Published: December 2024

The experiment was conducted at Agricultural College, Polasa, Jagitial, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Telangana, India during the rabi season (November, 2019–March, 2020) to study the influence of land configurations and mulching on moisture conservation and nodulation effect on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Three land configurations were used in the experiment as the main plots namely; M1 - Flat bed, M2 - Ridge and furrow, M3 - Broad bed and furrow and four mulching treatments were used as subplots viz., S1 - Control, S2 - Sesamum mulch, S3 - Gliricidia mulch, S4 - Paddy straw mulch. The experiment was set up in a split plot design and was replicated thrice. Results revealed that the moisture content at different depths (0-15, 15-30, 30-45 cm) and at 20 days interval until 100 days, broad bed and furrow land configuration and Gliricidia mulch recorded higher moisture content compared to other treatments. Highest water productivity of (0.67 kg m-3, 0.64 kg m-3), root nodules per plant and dry weight of nodules per plant was recorded in broad bed and furrow land configuration and Gliricidia mulch respectively. Comparatively lowest water productivity, root nodules per plant and dry weight of nodules per plant was recorded in Flat bed land configuration and with no mulch.
Effect of Diluted Sulphuric Acid on Delinting of Cotton Seeds
Authors: Bharti Ankita , Singh Mahesh , Maurya Amit Kumar
Published: December 2024

Cotton seeds are naturally coated with fine fibers known as linters after ginning. However, when these seeds are sown in fields, identifying broken or damaged seeds becomes challenging, leading to a decrease in germination percentage and subsequently resulting in poor yield. Furthermore, storing these fuzzy seeds poses difficulties as they are prone to insect infestation due to their ability to retain moisture. The planting of fuzzy seeds also contributes to uneven plant density within the field. Thus, it is essential to remove these linters from the seeds to enhance germination and yield. While various mechanical methods are employed for delinting fuzzy seeds, traditional techniques such as concentrated and dilute acid delinting of cotton seeds remain prevalent. In this study, we subjected fuzzy cotton seeds of random variety to different concentrations of dilute sulfuric acid (10% and 5%) to determine the optimal concentration for delinting cotton seeds without compromising their viability. Our findings highlight the significance of lint removal or seed delinting as a critical aspect of cotton cultivation practices, aimed at maximizing seed germination percentage in our fields.

Published: December 2024

Objectives

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the world and is prevalent cancer across Saudi Arabia, caused primarily by chronic infection with high-risk oncogenic strains of HPV. In 2013 The Saudi Ministry of Health introduced HPV vaccination program, but awareness of cervical cancer and HPV remains low among Saudi Arabia, Lack of awareness is a major barrier to increasing HPV vaccine acceptance. Studies have demonstrated that public health awareness campaigns, in particular, can drastically change people's perceptions of HPV and cervical cancer. This study aimed to determine whether a structured educational program on cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine in Saudi Arabia enhances community awareness and understanding of these issues.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study, the questionnaire included knowledge about cervical cancer causes, screening program, and HPV vaccination. Participants were divided into two groups (campaign visitors) those who attended the campaign and (the general population) those who lived in Jeddah Saudi Arabia but didn't attend the campaign. We collected the data through face-to-face interviews and included those above 18.

Results

We have seen a significant difference in the level of awareness in those attended who attend and those who didn't, with the latter having a lower rate of awareness. Demographic factors showed no significant correlation with the levels of knowledge.

Conclusion

Our study has shown that structured educational campaigns raise awareness regarding cervical cancer and HPV vaccination. We recommend doing more structured campaigns to increase awareness and acceptance of the vaccine and the screening program.

Fail to plan, plan to fail: Tools for data-driven neurodevelopmental service planning
Authors: Garau Valeria , Campbell David , Schreuder Iain , MacMahon Kenneth
Published: December 2024

Over recent years, Scotland has seen a substantial increase in children, young people, and adults presenting to Primary and Secondary Care services seeking information, assessments, and support for neurodevelopmental conditions. In NHS Ayrshire & Arran, much work has been done to address this growing demand, including the creation of support pathways and a Neurodevelopmental Empowerment and Strategy Team (NEST), in addition to work to review and re-design assessment services. To estimate the demand on services and the human and financial resources required to cover this demand in a data-driven fashion, two tools have been used: a locally developed Neurodevelopmental Assessment Service Demand and Capacity Calculator (NAS-DCC) and Public Health Scotland’s Neurodevelopmental Trajectory Modelling Tool (NTMT). This paper aims to provide a local background to the complexities of planning assessment and support services for neurodevelopmental conditions and introduce readers to the tools that have facilitated this. It is hoped that this will increase awareness of how data-driven service planning can improve the experience of individuals seeking neurodevelopmental assessments and support and ensure that resources are allocated appropriately to these services.

Authors: Ngui Marianus , Melati Maya , Muhimmatul Husna
Published: December 2024

The use of Bacillus bacteria as biofertilizers (BF) increases since the detrimental effects of inorganic fertilizers on the agricultural environment spread out. The objective of this research was to study the influence of bio fertilizer and in combination with inorganic fertilizer on the productivity of rice fields. The experiment was a two-factor treatment arranged in a split-plot design with three replications using a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The first factor was fertilizers, which were used as the main plot. The second factor was paddy varieties as a subplot. The results showed that the combination of inorganic and bio fertilizer application of (150 kg NPK ha-1 + 75 kg Urea ha-1 + 4 L BF ha-1) and (300 kg NPK ha-1 + 150 kg Urea ha-1 + 4 L BF ha-1), improved soil available phosphorous (P) of 12.04%, 40.69%, and 44.05%, respectively compared to control treatment, the inorganic fertilizer application (300 kg NPK ha-1 + 150 kg Urea ha-1), and the bio fertilizer application (4 L BF ha-1). In addition, the application of (300 kg NPK ha-1 + 150 kg Urea ha-1 + 4 L BF ha-1) increased productive tillers per plant as 28.13% and 16.48% compared to the control and the inorganic application, respectively. Moreover, by using Mekongga variety, applying the inorganic and bio fertilizer at rates of (300 kg NPK ha-1 + 150 kg Urea ha-1 + 4 L BF ha-1) increased rice yield of 64.08% and 30.33% compared to the control and the inorganic fertilizer application; while, by using IPB 3S variety, the rice yield increased by 85.80% and 10.34%, respectively. These findings are significant as they demonstrate the potential of biofertilizers to enhance soil fertility and rice productivity, thereby advancing sustainable farming practices.

A pandemia da COVID-19 impactou o desempenho das empresas para além dos resultados financeiros, exigindo um compromisso com o impacto social. Para os stakeholders, este fator se tornou crucial, superando, em alguns casos, a importância do retorno financeiro. Esse interesse que vai além do financeiro, foi importante durante a crise do coronavírus, na qual empresas mais preocupadas com o social, ambiental e principalmente a governança obteve um diferencial, ou seja, os acionistas e usuários de informações queriam empresas com mais responsabilidade social corporativa, isso mostra que questões responsabilidade social corporativa, sociais e de governança estão cada vez mais em alta. A pesquisa objetivou analisar o impacto do desempenho dos indicadores de governança das empresas brasileiras na sua performance financeira durante a crise do novo Coronavírus. Levantamento de dados, que foram coletados pela Economática, onde foram analisados de forma não aleatória, as informações sobre o desempenho da empresa durante a pandemia, para analisar a governança e as demonstrações contábeis da empresa. Constatou-se que durante a crise do coronavírus, não foram todas as dimensões de governança corporativa que se mostraram influentes na performance financeira das empresas brasileiras. Com exceção do score Estratégia de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa (RSC) que demonstrou ter um impacto positivo, ainda que limitado, sobre o Retorno sobre Ativos (ROA). Esses achados sugerem que estratégias focadas em responsabilidade social corporativa podem fortalecer a performance financeira, mesmo em períodos de crise.

Comfort of smartwatch wearing: A comparative study of different hand types
Authors: Zhu Huijuan , Zhou Meiyu , Wu Baoxia
Published: December 2024

This study aims to explore the relationship between wrist size and the comfort and fit of smartwatch wearability. Measurements of hand dimensions, including wrist width, palm length, finger length, and finger width, were taken from 41 participants. Based on the analysis results, participants were grouped by wrist width, and individuals from different groups were asked to subjectively rate the comfort, strap fit, and ease of operation of the smartwatch. The results revealed that wrist width significantly impacts wearing comfort, while other hand features (such as finger width) play a crucial role in the operational experience. Users with wider wrists rated strap fit and wearing pressure more favorably, whereas those with narrower wrists demonstrated superior touchscreen operation performance. Additionally, the significant effects of design factors such as strap material, dial size, and smartwatch weight on wearing experience were also validated. These findings provide valuable insights for smartwatch design, highlighting the necessity of considering variations in hand dimensions to enhance the overall user experience.
Jeux athlétiques, jeux de stratégie, jeux de hasard dans le Roman de Brut
Authors: Castellani Marie-Madeleine
Published: December 2024

Deux épisodes du Roman de Brut et de sa source, l’Historia regum Britanniae, décrivent des jeux – sportifs et intellectuels – qui voient s’affronter les jeunes gens du royaume breton, sous le règne de Cassibellan et sous celui d’Arthur. L’étude comparée de la source et de sa traduction montre une très forte amplification par Wace de l’épisode arthurien : il s’y livre notamment à une violente diatribe contre les jeux de hasard ; celle-ci détonne avec l’atmosphère chevaleresque et courtoise qui se manifeste dans les jeux sportifs, en contraste avec l’issue tragique d’autres jeux présents dans l’Historia regum Britanniae et dans les romans d’Antiquité, où ils dégénèrent fréquemment en rixe ou en meurtre.

Published: December 2024

In this study, we examined the Al/SiO2/p-type Si metal/oxide/semiconductor (MOS) structure across a temperature range of 303–423 K. To create intentional traps in the oxide, a 20 nm TiN layer was deposited. We analyzed the charge carrier current as a function of temperature using the Poole-Frenkel (PF) current mechanism and simultaneously extracted the five parameters (φ, Nh/e, µ, εr, and Vcorr) characterizing the PF current conduction process through the vertical optimization method (VOM), without the need for capacitance-voltage measurements or additional graphical methods. The barrier φ decreased with increasing temperature in both accumulation and inversion modes, with slopes of dφ/dT =−1.16 meV/K and−0.833 meV/K and intercepts of 3.07 eV and 3.45 eV, respectively. Carrier densities (Nh, Ne) also decreased as temperature rose, ranging from 7×1018–5×1010 cm−3 in accumulation mode and 6.5×1018–7.98×1016 cm−3 in inversion mode, indicating a more pronounced PF current mechanism in accumulation mode. Hole mobility (µh) remained significant up to 363 K but decreased sharply at higher temperatures, whereas electron mobility (µe) remained higher. The relative permittivity εr decreased with increasing temperature, indicating greater SiO2 polarization at lower temperatures. The voltage correction Vcorr varied with temperature, decreasing in accumulation mode by 1 Vcorr−acc = −1.33 V and increasing in inversion mode by 1 Vcorr−inv = 1.03 V. The oxide voltage correction at T = 0 K was found to be 2.606 V for holes (in accumulation) and −2.302 V for electrons (in inversion). The study concludes that trapping and detrapping mechanisms are more significant for holes in accumulation mode than for electrons in inversion mode. Consequently, the p-type MOS with PF leakage current is unsuitable for technological applications, while the n-type MOS shows promise, even at elevated temperatures, due to the less pronounced PF current mechanism.
Insult to Religion in the View of the Qur'an
Authors: . Mahfud , Nurhidayah Lilik , Assiddiqi Muhammad Zimly , Aufa M
Published: December 2024

This study reviews the issue of blasphemy from the perspective of the Qur'an. The main question in this thesis is: how is the interpretation of Qur'anic verses that raise the issue of blasphemy, and how is the concept of blasphemy understood in the context of the Qur'an. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the understanding of Qur'anic verses that discuss blasphemy, as well as to explain the concept of blasphemy according to the perspective of the Qur'an. This research was conducted through library research, by applying thematic methods or maudhu'i. This approach involves collecting data and information from various literature sources relevant to the research theme, such as books of tafsir and other supporting works. From the above it can be concluded that in the Qur'an, the meaning of blasphemy is reflected through the concepts of al-Istihza', al-Sukhriyah, sabba, and syatmun, which indicate acts of degrading and ridiculing others, both through words and actions that are clearly considered blasphemy. The Qur'an affirms that perpetrators of blasphemy are punishable by death. In Indonesia, the punishment is regulated in Article 165a of the Criminal Code which provides criminal sanctions with a maximum prison sentence of 5 years.
Samā' and Samāwāt in the Qur'an: A Thematic Study and Its Relevance to the Science of the Creation of the Sky
Authors: Yusuf Muhammad Suaidi , Waskito Subarkah Yudi , Rohmawati Inganatu , Anshorullah Arich H
Published: December 2024

The difference in the mention of "heaven" in the Qur'an, sometimes as singular (samāʼ) and sometimes plural (samāwāt), raises questions because they both have the same meaning, "heaven", without any obvious difference. A contemporary approach proposes that samāʼ refers to the context of a verse that is global, while samāwāt refers to a more detailed context. This study aims to find differences in the use of the two terms in verses that discuss the creation of the sky, with the aim of understanding the meaning of "generality" and "detail" in the creation of the sky. This research uses a literature method by referring to classical and contemporary interpretations, without involving field studies. The results show that when the Qur'an mentions the chronology and duration of the creation of the heavens, the term samāwāt is used, while for general depictions, the term samāʼ is used more frequently, although sometimes samāwāt is also used. The purpose of this research is not only to uncover the implicit meaning in the Qur'an, but also to show the magic of language and science in the text. Thus, this research aims to bridge the gap between religious understanding and modern science, especially in the context of the creation of the sky.
A Mathematical-Logic Technique Facilitating Good Teaching (Invited Paper)
Authors: Hendel Russell Jay
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a teaching strategy for topics in undergraduate courses which require simultaneous consideration of several parameters. Such topics present several challenges: i) initial learning is difficult because of the multiple issues (parameters) that must be checked, ii) covering all cases can leave students confused, leading to omission of certain details, iii) it is not clear what presentation vehicle is best for learning. This paper proposes a mathematical-logic technique, the prime implicant normal form, PINF, to address these problems. The PINF method can easily be mastered without technical knowledge. Familiar examples are provided from Statistics and English Grammar. A survey of alternate presentation methods, gleaned from a simple Google search, reveals several advantages of using the PINF method.
Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) for Evaluating Knowledge Areas of Advanced Certificate in Engineering Taught in South Africa
Authors: Maduna Lusiwe , Ilunga Masengo , Dube Zakithi
Published: December 2024

In order to evaluate the consistency of the knowledge areas (KAs) covered in the advanced certificate in engineering (AdvCertEng) course, this study used the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) technique. Both universities of technology and comprehensive universities in South Africa offer this subject. The primary requirements that an engineering programme should meet for the purposes of creating and implementing FAHP, are knowledge areas. The opinions of experts and decision-makers are prone to some subjectivity, imprecision, even some uncertainty and ambiguity, which results in fuzziness. Triangular fuzzy numbers (TFN1) between (1,1,1) and (9,9,9) are used to establish fuzzy pairwise comparisons between criteria on a qualitative level, whilst FAHP is used to calculate the weights of the criterion on a quantitative one. In this investigation, TFNs linked to a fuzzy distance from the crisp values of 1 are employed, and the related FAHP is denoted as FAHP1. The credit weight for each knowledge area is then calculated uniformly using the same method. AdvCertEng's existing knowledge area credit weights were generally confirmed using FAHP1. FAHP and ECSA's credit weights did, however, differ by minuscule amounts.
Corporate Venture Capital: Case of Latvia
Authors: Titova Anita , Lace Natalja
Published: December 2024

This pilot study aimed to identify the factors influencing corporations' willingness to establish Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) funds in regions outside core venture capital (VC) centers. Through content analysis, factors affecting the creation and continuation of CVC funds were identified and their interconnectedness was examined. These insights were applied to analyze the initial attempts of a major Latvian corporation to engage in CVC activities. The evaluation of the fund established by the corporation revealed financial losses and a lack of strategic integration of portfolio companies' business ideas into the corporation's operations. However, the corporation's pioneering efforts in CVC activities in an undeveloped and unsupportive environment were acknowledged as beneficial to the broader ecosystem. Several internal factors were identified as potentially detrimental to the fund's success, including limited interaction between the corporation's staff and the fund's portfolio companies and the corporation's partial state ownership. The study highlighted the undeveloped state of the Latvian CVC market and the still-maturing VC market. Nonetheless, public funding for VC funds was a key catalyst for the corporation's fund's development. The study suggests that enhancing government policies and incentives is crucial for encouraging CVC activities in regions with undeveloped CVC markets. Further research is needed to identify other potential market players and their obstacles for CVC activities.

This research explores the crucial role of bridge makers in fostering the success of open innovations within innovation ecosystems. Emphasizing governance structures, this study highlights the importance of creating synergies among participants through effective intermediaries. Bridge makers act as connectors, facilitators, and integrators, crucial for fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders, aligning interests, and overcoming barriers to innovation. By integrating the bridge maker role into ecosystem strategies, stakeholders can ensure that the connections formed are not only numerous but also robust, inclusive, and capable of driving long-term innovation and collaboration. Given the fragmented nature of recent literature on the role of bridge makers, and the various terminologies used to describe similar roles, this research aims to provide a clear definition and comprehensive understanding of the bridge maker's role. The objective is to analyze different aspects and names attributed to this role within the context of innovation ecosystems. This paper concludes by discussing future research avenues that can build on the developed role typology, shedding further light on the process of open innovation ecosystem genesis. By incorporating the bridge maker role into the various ecosystem models, this research suggests that enhanced connectivity and synergy can be achieved, benefiting the entire ecosystem.
Using the Cornell Note Taking Method for Instruction
Authors: Hendel Russell Jay
Published: December 2024

There are several popular note-taking methods, amongst which the Cornell note taking method is very well-known. The method consists of taking notes by dividing the page into three parts: the main notetaking part; the part summarizing themes, key-, and cue- words; and a part summarizing, in a few lines, contents. This article explores using the Cornell method, originally designed for students, as a means of pedagogy delivery for instructors. Hendel's four pedagogic pillars, rooting pedagogic excellence in fundamental psycho-neurological processes, explain the success of the Cornell method as attributed to its encouraging executive function and optimal goal-setting techniques. The paper also examines the contrastive practices of some textbooks and confirms critiques of these approaches as employing lower levels of the Bloom- Anderson hierarchy.
Aurel_AI: Automating an Institutional Help Desk Using an LLM Chatbot
Authors: Ordóñez-Camacho Diego , Melgarejo-Heredia Rafael , Abbasi Mohsen , González-Solis Lucía
Published: December 2024

The Aurel_AI research project was born from the need to implement a virtual help desk for a university, providing accurate organizational information to both internal and external clients. The information includes details about academic programs, regulations, processes, and personnel. Aurel_AI is part of a broader research program on the use of AI in academia. Traditional solutions for a help desk, such as telephone call centers, present quality and efficiency issues that are difficult to solve. Call center staff generally lack comprehensive knowledge about the institution, rely on specific information that is sometimes outdated, require additional systems for information retrieval, and experience high turnover rates. This leads to associated costs and issues related with outdated information, resulting in inaccurate responses and long waiting times. Generative artificial intelligence models, known as Large Language Models (LLMs), offer an interesting alternative for an automated virtual help desk. These models can understand even vague and poorly structured questions and generate reasonably appropriate answers. However, they are not without flaws, as they tend to present issues like "hallucinations" when the required information is not present in their training data. To minimize this problem, it is crucial to ensure that the model has precise and comprehensive information, which needs a specific methodology for information collection, validation, and updating. Base models require an adaptation process to be used for specific cases, for which techniques like Fine-Tuning and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) exist. Fine-tuning retrains a model's weights with new specific information, while RAG uses both proprietary information—in this case, from the university—and publicly available internet data. Both techniques have pros and cons that need to be evaluated to select the most suitable option. They also demand appropriate and specialized infrastructure, which is often expensive. Thus, another challenge is to find a balance between suitable equipment and reasonable costs. The final system, from the user's perspective, must be accurate, flexible, and adaptable to deliver a satisfactory experience. As the results show, Aurel_AI represents an advance in the digitalization of educational services, standing out for its ability to generate accurate and personalized responses. However, its current limitations, such as handling concurrent queries and hallucinations, underscore the need for adjustments to both infrastructure and data processing methodology. With strategic improvements, the system has the potential to consolidate itself as a replicable model for multiple university digital services.

In the digital transformation era, companies must foster adaptability and invest in modernizing their technological infrastructure. A key component of this shift is developing a robust data strategy, which presents implementation challenges in large organizations. We outline criteria for senior management to consider when crafting a data strategy, covering both offensive and defensive measures. While a hybrid approach is common among successful organizations, there's no one-size-fits-all strategy. Instead, companies should tailor their approach to their unique business needs. Our ongoing project, using Design Science methodology, aims to create a tool aiding senior management in selecting the most suitable strategy. This involves assessing sector-specific requirements, improving data management practices, and ensuring alignment across departments.
Pesan pendidikan kisah Qabil dan Habil: Mengungkap makna ikhlas perspektif Al-Qur’an
Authors: Arisanti Kustiana
Published: December 2024

The Qur'an is a source of inspiration for the life of Muslims. It contains several values and guidelines that can be used as references in the fields of religion, social life, economics and education. The teachings of the Qur'an are packaged in such a way and delivered variably. Some are in the form of information, government and prohibitions, some are modified in the form of descriptions of stories. One of the interesting stories to study is the story of Qabil and Habil, which not only tells the story of the first murder committed, but more than that. The story of Qabil and Habil leaves moral education values that are full of values and meanings. Among these values is the value of sincerity and surrender to the Creator. To describe these educational values, this research uses descriptive qualitative research, with a literature approach because the main data sources in this research are books, classical books and scientific articles. Based on the stories of Qabil and Habil, the value of sincerity found is “doing something lillah” or because of Allah. In addition, discussing the story of Qabil and Habil, this study also describes the munasabah between verses and also explains the meaning of sincerity based on the words described in the Qur'an, such as sincerity contains the meaning of pure, clean from dirt, specialization and many more descriptions of the meaning of sincerity interpreted from the word “sincerity” in the Qur'an.
Solving fuzzy fractional programming problems by VNS algorithm using modified Kerre's inequality

Published: December 2024

Here, we propose a new variable neighbourhood search (VNS) algorithm for solving fractional fuzzy number linear programming problems (FFNLPPs). We make use of modified Kerre’s inequality for comparison of LR fuzzy numbers. In our proposed algorithm, we introduced a new local search defined based on descent directions, which are found by solving four crisp mathematical programming problems. In several methods, a fuzzy fractional optimization problem is converted to a crisp problem. Still, in our proposed method, using modified Kerre’s inequality, the fuzzy optimization problem is solved directly, without changing it to a crisp program. To show the effectiveness of our method, we compare our proposed algorithm with other available methods.
