Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine the understanding and implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) instruction in 24 elementary schools in Kecamatan Ciampea. The results show significant variations in PAI teachers' understanding and application of PjBL. Fifty percent of the teachers have successfully implemented PjBL consistently, thanks to strong support from school principals and adequate educational resources. These teachers have been able to design effective PjBL-based learning projects, allowing students to actively engage in learning and develop critical thinking and creativity. However, 30% of the teachers faced challenges in optimal implementation, particularly due to time constraints and insufficient resources. These teachers require further skill development to better integrate PjBL into daily learning processes. Meanwhile, 20% of the teachers demonstrated a minimal understanding of PjBL and require additional training. These findings highlight the importance of ongoing training, as well as institutional support and resource access, to enhance the effective application of PjBL. The study recommends that schools in Kecamatan Ciampea strengthen teacher training and provide more adequate resources to support the implementation of PjBL, aiming to improve the relevance and meaning of PAI learning.

Point-Based Fusion for Multimodal 3D Detection in Autonomous Driving
Authors: Liu Xinxin , Ye Bin
Published: November 2024

In the broader field of mechanical technology, and specifically within the domain of self-driving vehicles, cameras and LIDAR are crucial sensor modalities that provide complementary information, offering significant potential for sensor fusion. However, directly merging multi-sensor data through point projection can lead to information loss due to quantization, and managing the differences between data formats from multiple sensors remains a challenge. To address these issues, we propose an new fusion method that leverages continuous convolution, point-pooling, and a learned MLP to achieve superior detection performance. Our approach integrates the segmentation mask with raw LIDAR points instead of using projected points, thereby avoiding quantization loss. We conduct neighbor searches on the points and retrieve corresponding semantic features from images to concatenate image and LIDAR data. Subsequently, we apply continuous convolution, point-pooling, and a learned MLP to obtain the fused output. The pooling and aggregation operations, as extensions of convolution, are specifically designed to handle the disparities in data formats. Our detection network is divided into two stages: in the first stage, preliminary proposals and segmentation features are generated; in the second stage, the fusion result with the segmentation mask is refined to produce the final prediction. Our method aims to achieve precise object detection in 3D environments by enhancing LIDAR point data with semantic features from images, allowing for the flexibility to alternate segmentation sub-algorithms as needed. Extensive experiments on the KITTI dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, which achieves high precision and robust performance in 3D object detection tasks.

Background: Worldwide, Diabetes Mellitus affects millions of people. It is a chronic and progressive disease requiring a long-term treatment plan, adherence to which becomes extremely challenging. Globally, there is a poor level of medication adherence to anti-diabetic treatment and several studies have explored the factors affecting medication adherence. However, in Bhutan, there is limited data on the rate of medication adherence and factors affecting it. . Therefore, the study aimed to find the level of anti- diabetic medication adherence and factors affecting it.
Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving six eastern district hospitals from June 2019 to February 2020. Research participants were randomly selected from the daily cohort of patients visiting diabetic clinics.
Results: Amongst the 390 participants, the overall level of adherence reported in this study was intermediate with a mean Morisky Medication Adherence Scale 8 Items (MMAS-8) score of 6.06 (95% CI 5.91-6.22). Nearly 40% demonstrated a low level of adherence (MMAS-8 score <6). There was a statistically significant (p<0.05) association between mean MMAS-8 scores and adverse drug reactions, the drug regimen (polypharmacy or monotherapy) and the type of diabetes mellitus.
Conclusion: This study revealed an intermediate level of medication adherence to anti-diabetic treatment in the eastern region of Bhutan. Adverse drug reactions and polypharmacy resulted in a lower level of adherence. However, further studies are needed to draw a definitive conclusion.

Published: November 2024

Lemons are rich in beneficial phytochemicals and antioxidants, including phenolic compounds and flavonoids. However, some of these compounds impart a bitterness that can limit its application in food products and affect consumer acceptance. This study aimed to reduce the bitterness of osmodehydrated lemon using a combination of pre-treatment, osmotic dehydration, and drying processes. Fresh lemons, lemons immersed in 2 % NaCl for 3 nights, and lemons stored at room temperature for 3 days were analyzed for bitter compounds. These samples underwent 4 cycles of blanching at either 35 or 80 °C, followed by cooling, osmotic dehydration in a 60 °Brix sugar solution with heating at 80 °C for 45 min and soaking in syrup for an additional 30 min, and finally drying at 70 °C until reaching a water activity below 0.6. Results indicated that the optimal condition for reducing bitterness involved storing fresh lemons at room temperature for 3 days, soaking them in 2 % NaCl solution for 3 nights, and blanching at 80 °C, followed by osmotic dehydration and drying. The naringin, limonin, and hesperidin contents were reduced by 34-fold, 24-fold, and 10-fold, respectively, compared to those in fresh lemons. Additionally, its sensory properties were well accepted by panelists. Although the production cost at the laboratory scale was high, it is expected to be lower at pilot or commercial scales. The production method is deemed suitable for entrepreneurial ventures in the lemons processing industry.

Effective CuSO4 Concentration on Phase Formation and Optical Characteristics of Electrodeposited Ni-Cu Alloy
Authors: Dejang Nuchjira , Klinbumrung Arrak , Sirirak Reungruthai
Published: November 2024

Ni-Cu alloys play a critical role in various industrial applications due to their exceptional characteristics. Despite extensive study of these alloys for their mechanical and corrosion characteristics, their optical properties have received limited attention. In this research, the electrodeposition of Ni-Cu alloy coatings was conducted using copper sulfate concentrations ranging from 1.25 to 10 g/L, leading to successful film formation with various phases. XRD examination associated with the Rietveld calculation exhibited modified phase fraction, crystallite size, micro-strain, and lattice constant. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a different thickness and a dendritic microstructure. As an increase in CuSO4, there was observed an increase in the values of the absorption edge (showing 1.61 - 1.90 eV), texture coefficient (0.46 - 0.82), and film thickness (0.63 - 1.74 µm). These various morphologies enhanced the material’s properties. In more added CuSO4 samples, the coatings significantly reveal a modification in the crystal, film growth, and optical properties. The advancements in visible light absorption suggest an enhanced coating for optical technology applications.
HIGHLIGHTS

The texture coefficient (TC) values of the (111) plane of Cu81Ni0.19 phase were found to increase with higher CuSO4 concentrations. Specifically, the TC values for 1.25Cu-Ni, 2.5Cu-Ni, 5.0Cu-Ni, 7.5Cu-Ni, and 10Cu-Ni were 0.46, 0.48, 0.77, 0.77, and 0.82, respectively. These values, all below 1, indicate low crystallinity but show a trend of increasing crystallinity with higher CuSO4 concentrations.
The film thickness also increased with higher CuSO4 The thicknesses were 0.63 µm for 1.25Cu-Ni, 0.65 µm for 2.5Cu-Ni, 1.36 µm for 5.0Cu-Ni, 1.54 µm for 7.5Cu-Ni, and 1.74 µm for 10Cu-Ni.
The grain morphology of the coatings evolved from small, elongated platelets in lower CuSO4 concentrations to larger, more dendritic structures at higher concentrations. This change in morphology is attributed to the increased CuSO4 concentration, which affects the crystal growth mechanisms during electroplating.

It evaluates three types of environments and seven factors the authors consider to be significant stressors. The sample consisted of 60 nurses. Data was processed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Most participants were female (68.3%), aged between 31 and 40 (61.7%). Participants with children who work in other institutions had higher stress factors. There was no relationship between the stress variable and the work regime. The participants' stress was, on average, more associated with the item "Death and dying," a factor of the "Psychological environment," the "Workload," a factor of the "Physical environment," and at the level of the "Social environment," the "Conflict with doctors". Conclusions: Participants with children and who work in other institutions were the ones who perceived high-stress factors. There was no relationship between the stress variable and the working regime. Regarding the three types of environment, stress was associated with the items "Death and dying," "Workload," and "Conflict with doctors".
RISK-INTEGRATED FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF A FIRM’S STRATEGIC FIXED-COST SPENDING
Authors: Kang Jay
Published: November 2024

A firm’s fixed-cost spending, as opposed to its variable-cost spending, creates its operating risk, i.e., its exposure to an operating loss. This paper explores the quantitative dimensions of the operating risk and profitability of a firm’s fixed-cost spending. My findings are: (1) a firm’s ratio of total fixed cost [TFC] to its total contribution margin [TCM] represents the firm’s degree of operating loss exposure [DOLE] to uncertain economic swings, which is a direct measure of operating risk; and (2) the computed profit-to- risk gap [if zero or positive] can indicate the financial sustainability of the firm’s strategic fixed-cost spending initiatives. The DOLE and the profit return on TFC, [P/TFC] of financially sustainable firms are in their equilibrium at 61.8%. Fixed-cost spending decisions may use this equilibrium rate as the minimum required profitability on the relevant fixed costs and the maximum allowed risk. This paper demonstrates valuable applications of this risk-integrated framework in a sustainability analysis of two firms in the pharmaceutical industry.
Assessment of Medical Waste Management Practices in Selected Hospital (A Case Study of Owo, Ondo State)
Authors: Idowu Sule
Published: November 2024

The study examined assessment of medical waste management practices in selected hospital and adopted descriptive crosssectional design utilizing quantitative method of data collection. Simple random sampling was used to select 244 health care personnel comprising of doctors, nurses and support staff all from the casualty, orthopedic and the general surgery departments. Structured questionnaires were administered to them for quantitative data. Quantitative data were analyzed using the quantitative program for social and market research (QPSMR) and chi squares and the level of significance was set at P ≤0.05. Descriptive statistics were carried out to determine relative frequencies, percentages and means of variables. The results showed that most of the healthcare personnel were aware of the medical waste management practices in the hospital and the practices were satisfactory. However, awareness of medical waste management practices in this institution can still be improved, especially in the segregation aspect since only 44% of the study population was aware of the correct segregation practices. Education was seen to have a significance influence on medical waste management with mean chi square results X2(2, N=244) = 7.4408, P = 0.03165(p<0.05). The mean chi square results X2(1, N=244) = 9.5386, P = 0.013 indicated a significant relationship between training and awareness on correct practices as the mean P <0.05.It is therefore recommended that there is need to have a constant supply of the equipment and more importantly the segregation bags. Moreover, there is need to train the healthcare personnel especially the doctors as they seemed to be less aware of medical waste management.

Published: November 2024

The development of innovative cross-platform health applications has the potential to transform healthcare delivery in underserved communities by increasing accessibility, reducing disparities, and improving health outcomes. These applications are designed to operate across multiple devices and operating systems, ensuring that people in marginalized or remote areas with limited technological infrastructure can still access essential healthcare services. This study explores the development and implementation of cross-platform mobile health (mHealth) applications that provide features such as telemedicine consultations, remote patient monitoring, health education, and digital medical records. By leveraging cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, these applications can offer personalized health solutions, support proactive health management, and facilitate timely medical interventions. Furthermore, cross-platform compatibility reduces barriers related to device ownership and connectivity, which are common challenges in underserved areas. This research also examines user adoption, challenges in technological integration, data privacy concerns, and potential strategies for achieving sustainable engagement within these communities. Through empirical analysis and case studies, the findings highlight how cross-platform health applications can bridge the gap in healthcare access, contributing to a more equitable healthcare system and supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of health for all.

This study delves into the pivotal role of safety culture in maritime operations and its implications for human resources (HR) practices. Through a systematic literature review and content analysis, the research aims to elucidate the current state of safety culture within the maritime industry, examine the HR strategies that support or hinder the development of a robust safety culture, and identify future directions for enhancing maritime safety. Drawing from a range of academic and industry-related databases, the study employs a rigorous methodological framework, encompassing specific criteria for the inclusion and exclusion of relevant literature, to synthesize findings from peer-reviewed articles and grey literature. Key findings reveal that a strong safety culture is intrinsically linked to effective HR practices, including strategic recruitment, continuous training, leadership development, and open communication. The future landscape of maritime safety presents both opportunities and challenges, notably the integration of digital technologies and the need for international collaboration on safety standards. Strategic recommendations emphasize the importance of leadership commitment, the integration of safety into HR practices, the judicious use of technology, and a continuous improvement ethos in safety practices. The study concludes that advancing safety culture in maritime operations requires a multifaceted approach, underpinned by robust HR strategies and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement. It also identifies areas for further research, including the impact of technological advancements on safety culture, the role of cross-cultural competence, and the correlation between seafarer well-being and safety outcomes.
