ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF TRADE CREDIT INSURANCE SERVICES, ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION ON UMKM PERFORMANCE MODERATED BY GOVERNMENT SUPPORT Study on Trade Finance Services of PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk for Export MSMEs in Central Java Reg
Authors: Gigieh Perkasa  , Yoestini
Published: February 2025

MSMEs have a strategic role in supporting national economic growth, especially through their contribution to the export sector. However, many exporting MSMEs face various challenges, such as international trade risks and limited entrepreneurial orientation, which can affect their performance. To overcome these challenges, trade credit insurance is present as one of the financial solutions that helps protect MSMEs from the risk of default. In addition, entrepreneurial orientation is an important factor in encouraging MSME competitiveness and innovation. In this context, government support is expected to moderate the influence of these two factors on improving the performance of exporting MSMEs. This study aims to analyze the effect of trade credit insurance and entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of export MSMEs, by considering government support as a moderating variable. This study was conducted on the trade finance service of PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk for export MSMEs in Central Java. Data collection was conducted through a survey of 150 respondents who were export MSME actors. Data analysis used multiple linear regression methods with statistical software. The results of the study indicate that trade credit insurance has a positive and significant effect on the performance of export MSMEs, as well as entrepreneurial orientation. However, government support does not moderate the effect of trade credit insurance on the performance of export MSMEs. On the contrary, government support is proven to strengthen the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of export MSMEs. This finding indicates that MSMEs that have access to trade credit insurance services and have a high entrepreneurial orientation can improve their export performance. Government support plays an important role in strengthening the positive impact of entrepreneurial orientation on export performance. This study contributes to the development of policies that support the performance of export MSMEs, especially in optimizing trade finance services and supporting programs from the government.

Authors: Jiao Li  , Suharni Mohamad  , Rahman Nurhayu Ab
Published: February 2025

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) causes a serious loss of facial function or death, and its morbidity is highly related to the usage of tobacco products. Uncovering the mechanisms of tobacco-related OSCC plays a vital role in the prevention and treatment of OSCC. The present review systematically and comprehensively discusses the known mechanisms of tobacco-related OSCC and offer a foundation for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of tobacco-mediated OSCC. Scientific literature related to the incidence of tobacco-related OSCC and studies on mechanisms related to tobacco components are included, both in humans and animals. Among the 129 articles cited, three perspectives of the incidence of tobacco-related OSCC were evaluated: DNA adducts, receptor binding, and cocarcinogenic pathways. Tobacco-associated carcinogens cause OSCC by covalently binding to DNA to form DNA adducts or by binding to the receptors, and through the combined action of cocarcinogenic pathways. Three tobacco carcinogens that bind to DNA to form DNA adducts, two receptors that bind to carcinogens, five downstream pathways, and three cocarcinogen-related pathways were listed. This work evaluated the present research status of tobacco-related OSCC to enhance the pathogenesis knowledge of OSCC and offer a foundation for further research endeavours on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of tobacco mediated OSCC.

A Somossy Károlyhoz köthető műintézmények vizsgálata kommunikációs szempontból
Authors: Balassa Krisztián
Published: February 2025

Ez a tanulmány a Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem művészeti igazgatás és művészetmenedzsment szakán megvédett szakdolgozatom szerkesztett változata. Arra a feladatra vállalkozom benne, hogy a kiegyezéstől egészen a millenniumi ünnepségek utáni századfordulóig (1867–1903) elvégezzem a kor nagy hatású alakja, Somossy Károly által létrehozott műintézmények kommunikációs vizsgálatát. Dolgozatomban körüljárom, hogy ebben a korban mennyire volt fontos a mai értelemben vett kommunikáció, PR és marketing, ezekhez milyen eszközök álltak rendelkezésre, kik és hogyan használták őket, mekkora közönségbevonzó hatásuk lehetett, továbbá hogy valószínűsíthető-e az állítás, miszerint a nyomtatott sajtó volt a korban a legfontosabb kommunikációs eszköz, és amennyiben igen, akkor ezt miképpen használta a szórakoztatóipar. Vizsgálati módszernek azt választottam, hogy a kommunikáció alapfogalmainak tisztázása után összevetem a kor népszerű sajtótermékeit, a különböző műintézmények hirdetéseit, reklámfogásait. Az idézetekben megőriztem a korabeli helyesírást. Terjedelmi korlátok okán a legnagyobb és legjobban dokumentált intézmény, a Somossy Mulató[1] és az ugyanabban az épületben ma is működő Budapesti Operettszínház adatait és kommunikációját hasonlítom össze. Ez az az épület, amely közel tíz éven keresztül, 1894-től Somossy haláláig (1903) meghatározta az éjszakai életről, a szórakozásról és a szórakoztatásról alkotott ismereteinket, és utat nyitott Magyarországon a múzsák neveletlen gyermekének, az operettnek, hogy elindulhasson világhódító útjára.

Published: February 2025

Introdução: A sepse é uma resposta inflamatória grave a infecções que pode afetar vários órgãos e levar à morte. Na pediatria, é uma das principais causas de óbito devido à dificuldade de identificar sinais precoces, pela variabilidade das manifestações clínicas. O tratamento exige altos custos, especialmente no Brasil, onde a maioria das internações por sepse ocorre em crianças menores de um ano e em estado de urgência, necessitando de mais recursos para o manejo adequado. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar o número de internações e óbitos por septicemia em pacientes pediátricos (0-19 anos), segundo o Ministério da Saúde, no Brasil entre 2013 e 2023. Método: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico realizado com dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares, entre 2013 e 2023, fornecidos pelo Departamento de Informações e Informática do SUS. Foram analisadas as variáveis de internação e óbito por septicemia, região geográfica, faixa etária, gênero e raça/cor. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que, na população pediátrica brasileira, entre 2013 e 2023, houve 213.025 internações por septicemia, com 24.504 óbitos. A região Sudeste teve maior número de casos, com 85.280 internações e 9.656 óbitos. Lactentes foram a faixa etária mais afetada, representando 60,66% das internações e 55,16% dos óbitos. A população masculina apresentou maior morbidade. A raça parda teve o maior número de internações e óbitos, seguida pela branca. Conclusão: Conclui-se que, entre 2013 e 2023, a sepse foi a principal causa de mortes em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva no Brasil, com uma taxa de óbitos superior à de outros países, devido à limitada disponibilidade de recursos para tratamento. Com isso, este estudo destaca a importância do conhecimento sobre este quadro para melhor prevenção, conscientização e detecção precoce.

A neuroanatomia, fundamental para os estudos iniciais em neurologia, é um obstáculo significativo para estudantes de medicina, sendo um dos responsáveis pelo fenômeno da “neurofobia”. Este artigo foi realizado com o objetivo de analisar a eficácia dos métodos de aprendizagem ativa no ensino de neuroanatomia como atenuadores da neurofobia, segundo a perspectiva de alunos do primeiro ano do curso de uma faculdade de medicina pública no Amazonas, Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo longitudinal, exploratório e descritivo com uma abordagem qualitativa-quantitativa, por meio da aplicação de questionários em ambiente virtual. O objetivo foi avaliar os participantes do estudo em 3 fases distintas: 1) avaliação do processo de aprendizado prévio; 2) processo de aprendizado de neuroanatomia com metodologias de aprendizagem ativa; e 3) avaliação pós-processo de aprendizado. Dentre os resultados avaliados, mais de 50% dos participantes do estudo, totalizando 80, estavam cientes de uma "reputação negativa" da neuroanatomia, e esse conhecimento influenciou a percepção dos participantes em 88% dos casos; os principais fatores que dificultaram o estudo da neuroanatomia foram a terminologia neuroanatômica e a complexidade dos temas abordados; 75% dos participantes avaliaram o estudo da neuroanatomia como um fator importante na decisão de aprofundar ou não em estudos futuros em neurologia; 95% dos participantes consideraram a metodologia ativa no aprendizado de neuroanatomia como um fator importante na mitigação dos sintomas de neurofobia. Portanto, é evidente que este estudo está alinhado com a literatura atual sobre o tema, que afirma que as metodologias de aprendizagem ativa no ensino de neuroanatomia representam uma importância vital na redução dos efeitos da neurofobia e incentivam o interesse pelo estudo futuro da neurologia entre os alunos.

O falar cuiabano é parte do patrimônio histórico imaterial de Mato Grosso. Neste sentido, não podemos permitir que se apague da memória da população, uma vez que esse linguajar foi construído historicamente com a influência de várias outras línguas, como indígenas, espanhois e portugueses. Considerando a importância de se manter vivo este aspecto da cultura cuiabana, este trabalho, que atende a proposta do Projeto Integrador – Seu Espaço, Seu Povo e Sua Cultura (BNCC/ Temas transversais) do curso de Letras – UNIVAG,  apresenta como objetivo contribuir com a valorização do patrimônio cultural, o falar cuiabano, fortalecendo a identidade regional, evidenciando seu espaço, seu povo e seus costumes. Além disso, procuramos promover atividades pedagógicas, em atendimento a BNCC, e de formação docente com base nas expressões do dialeto cuiabano. Para o desenvolvimento desta proposta pedagógica tivemos dois momentos: inicialmente em formação com os docentes sobre a temática proposta, tendo a gamificação como metodologia de ensino; em seguida atividade com os discentes. Pudemos constatar o interesse dos docentes tanto pelo falar cuiabano quanto por conhecer novas metodologias para o ensino. Verificamos, também, que os alunos pouco conheciam o falar cuiabano, mas após a atividade, além de poderem conhecer um pouco deste linguajar, ficaram curiosos para fazer novas descobertas. A resposta que tivemos para a atividade nos permite concluir que um fazer pedagógico, alinhado ao perfil atual dos educandos, pode contribuir para a construção de um conhecimento mais significativo e prazeroso.

Domestic violence against women is defined as any act or conduct that causes death, damage or physical, sexual, psychological, patrimonial and moral suffering. Federal Law No. 11,340 (2006), known as the Maria da Penha Law, aims to repress, prevent and punish, through various measures, this violence. One of the most common forms of violence is physical, often affecting the head, neck, and face regions. Based on the synthesis of knowledge about oral and maxillofacial injuries in women victims of domestic violence, the objective of this study was to investigate the link between the victim and the aggressor and the profile of trauma. This is an integrative literature review, in the MEDLINE and LILACS databases and in the SciELO digital library, with a time frame from 2013 to 2023. 8 articles were included after applying the eligibility criteria. Studies have revealed a high incidence of intimate partner violence. In view of the lesions, there is a prevalence of involvement of the oral and maxillofacial region. Soft tissue trauma was predominant. The bone fractures mainly affected the zygomatic-orbital complex, maxilla, mandible, and nose. Dentoalveolar lesions were underreported and underestimated, despite their interference in the quality of life of the victims.

This study examines the implementation of extension curricularization in higher education, focusing on its implications for the academic and social development of students. Using the FAVENI University Center as a case study, the work analyzes the effectiveness of extension activities when integrated into the curriculum, promoting a comprehensive education that encompasses both theoretical development and social practice. The research was based on accessibility and nonverbal communication experiments, where students experienced common barriers faced by people with disabilities. The results indicate that practical activities provided greater awareness of inclusion: 83% of participants reported being better prepared to apply academic knowledge in real contexts, and 76% observed the development of interpersonal skills, such as empathy and collaboration. In addition, 92% of students highlighted a broader understanding of social and environmental issues. These findings reinforce the curricularization of extension as an essential political-pedagogical project for the formation of critical and engaged citizens. In response to the National Education Plan and Resolution No. 7/2018, the study highlights the relevance of extension practices as a central part of the academic curriculum, contributing to a more inclusive and transformative higher education.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar como a implementação da gestão humanizada no setor de saúde impacta a qualidade de vida no trabalho (QVT) dos profissionais da área. Utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa e de campo, com coleta de dados por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 21 profissionais de saúde de diferentes categorias (médicos, enfermeiros e técnicos), com o intuito de entender suas percepções sobre as práticas de gestão humanizada e seus efeitos no ambiente de trabalho. Os resultados indicaram que as práticas de comunicação eficaz, valorização dos profissionais, apoio psicológico e a promoção de um ambiente de trabalho mais colaborativo e ético resultaram em uma melhoria significativa na satisfação dos trabalhadores e na qualidade do atendimento aos pacientes. No entanto, a pesquisa também apontou desafios, como a sobrecarga de trabalho e a escassez de recursos em determinados momentos, que ainda impactam negativamente a QVT. Conclui-se que, embora a gestão humanizada tenha gerado avanços importantes, é necessário um compromisso contínuo das instituições para lidar com as questões remanescentes, garantindo um ambiente de trabalho mais equilibrado e sustentável para os profissionais de saúde.
Women and Islam, theoretical issues and current affairs
Authors: Sicilia Lorenzo Raquel Elena Sicilia Lorenzo
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Analyzing religion from a gender perspective allows us to understand the interaction between religious norms and power relations. Various studies have shown that religion has been used both to perpetuate patriarchy and to promote social change. In this context, feminist positions have been developed within different religious denominations, especially in the field of monotheistic religions. However, Western feminism has tended to confront the religious, making invisible the contributions of feminists within their own spiritual traditions.Development:The relationship between feminism and religion has been the subject of debates framed by ideological tensions and ethnocentric positions. While feminism in the Global North has promoted secularization as a path towards gender equality, many Muslim women have developed their own feminism within religious frameworks. Islamic feminism, which emerged at the end of the 19th century and consolidated in the 20th century, seeks to reinterpret sacred texts from a hermeneutic of suspicion. Authors such as Amina Wadud and Asma Barlas have demonstrated that the oppression of women does not come from the Koran, but from patriarchal interpretations. Despite their diversity, Islamic feminists agree on the need to reformulate religious norms to guarantee gender justice.Conclusion: Islamic feminism challenges traditional views of secular feminism and patriarchal Islam. While it faces criticism both within and outside Muslim communities, its approach broadens the perspectives of the struggle for gender equality. The reinterpretation of sacred texts from a feminist perspective becomes a key tool for social transformation and the vindication of women's rights within Islam.
Anthropology, social transformation and digital environments. The social networks of the Catholic Church in Cuba. A channel for political influence
Authors: De la Rua Marin Yuniel
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The Catholic Church played a central role in Cuban political life during the last decades, which evidenced its influence in the social and political debate. Previous research, such as that of Gerardo Arreola, pointed out that the Church maintained an active presence in Cuba, even in adverse contexts. The relationship between the Catholic institution and the State was marked by tensions, especially after the 1959 Revolution, when its influence in education and health was reduced.Development: The study analyzed the production of Catholic Church content on digital platforms, differentiating between official channels, priest profiles and independent media that replicated its positions. From a postcolonial perspective, it examined how the Church was historically seen as an ally of power, both in the colonial era and in the revolutionary stage. The analysis also included the influence of individual actors within Cuban cyberspace, highlighting the different treatment that priests received on social networks compared to true digital influencers. A communication model was established based on structural levels, from the Vatican to individual profiles, to understand how religious discourse was articulated in the Cuban political context.Conclusion: The research showed that the reach of religious messages on social networks did not reach the standards established for influencers, but it did generate a significant political impact. The study suggested that the government overestimated the relevance of these actors, which created a scenario of growing confrontation in the immediate future.

Authors: Villegas Narvaez Lizbeth Mayte
Published: February 2025

The article reviewed the importance of occupational health and safety in the Ecuadorian flower sector, especially in relation to exposure to pesticides. These chemicals, essential for crop protection, have raised concerns due to their adverse effects on workers' health. Previous research that demonstrated significant risks and highlighted the need to improve labor practices and regulation of pesticide use was addressed.DevelopmentThe daily exposure of workers to phytosanitary products and its consequences on health was analyzed. The studies evaluated showed a high prevalence of neurological, respiratory, skin and, to a lesser extent, renal problems. Factors such as lack of personal protective equipment, poor working conditions and prolonged exposure to highly toxic chemicals were also identified. In addition, the acute and chronic effects of these substances were reviewed, as well as the preventive measures proposed in previous studies. Strategies included training, monitoring of working conditions and adoption of sustainable agricultural practices.ConclusionsThe article concluded that pesticide exposure represents a significant risk for flower workers in Ecuador. The implementation of safety measures and strict regulation of the use of these products are essential to protect their health. In addition, the need for further research on long-term effects and the promotion of a safer work culture was highlighted
The Effect of Audit Committee, Profitability, Board of Directors on Tax Planning
Authors: Samuel Binsar , Indrati Menik
Published: February 2025

This aim of this research is to analyze the influence of the audit committee, profitability, and the board of directors on tax planning. The research employs three independent variables: audit committee proxied by AC SIZE, Profitability proxied by ROE, and board of direction proxied by DIREKSI. Dependent variabel is measured using the Effective Tax Rate (ETR). A sample of 39 companies from the food and beverage sector was initially selected based on certian criteria, but 10 companies were identified as outlier, leaving 29 companies in the final sample. Consequently, out of a total 117 data observations, only 87 were utilized for analysis. The findings reveal that the audit committee has a positive impact on tax planning, while profitability has a negative impact on tax planning. Additionally, the board of directiors was found to have no significant effect on tax planning. These results provide insights for companies to enhance the effectiveness of their board of directors and strengthen the role of the audit committee in formulating tax planning strategies. The study recommends that stakeholders consider tax governance as a crucial element in evaluating corporate risks. Furthermore, companies should focus on optimizing both efficiency and profitability through balanced tax planning, encuring compliance with tax regulations while promoting long- term sustainability. Ini doing so, companies can improve their credibility with stakeholders and maximize tax benefits to support operational continuity.

John Rawls
Authors: Moon J. Donald
Published: February 2025

Donald Moon’s John Rawls: Liberalism and the Challenges of Late Modernity is distinguished not only by the originality of its contribution to the literature on one of the most important political philosophers of the 20th century, but for an argument that will be accessible to students as well as scholars of justice and its complex array of controversial issues at the heart of our hyper-modern globalized world. Rawls’s work is often viewed primarily through the lens of liberal theories of social justice focusing on issues of income distribution and economic inequality. Moon allows for a more complete understanding of Rawls’ legacy by setting his account of social justice in the context of modern and increasingly pluralistic democracies. Moon’s reading of Rawls shows how his work breaks with political theory’s traditional aspiration to provide a general theory of politics, including a theory of justice, which can be rationally vindicated. Instead, Rawls views theorizing as itself a practical, political form of engagement, which offers a specifically political conception of justice and political principles more generally that speak to the conditions of modern, democratic citizens.

Unauthorized: Portraits of Latino Immigrants takes readers inside the diverse contemporary worlds of undocumented Latino immigrants in the United States, exploring the myths and realities of education, health care, work, deportation, and more. This book aims to dispel common misconceptions while introducing readers to real people behind the headlines.

Chapters explore the myths and realities of topics including education, health care, work, deportation, and more. As immigration remains a controversial topic in the United States, this book aims to dispel common misconceptions about immigration while introducing readers to the real people behind the headlines.

The topic of undocumented immigration has received tremendous attention—from the debate on immigration reform to the Executive Actions of President Obama to the growing numbers of unaccompanied minors from Central America and more. In addition, the Syrian refugee crisis and the anti-immigrant discourse of presidential candidate Donald Trump have enraged many observers and emboldened others. This book provides factual information to readers who are interested in learning more about these issues and the people who are labeled “illegal.” Each chapter draws on both existing and original research to provide an accessible overview of key themes, and case studies bring issues to life.

Authors: E. Kaloyeros Alain , Arkles Barry
Published: February 2025

A systematic assessment is presented of the evolution and ongoing innovations for the silicon carbide (SiC) material system, focusing on emerging material and process technologies for thin films. To ensure an appropriate context for the drive to generate SiC thin films for a wide range of applications, we begin by tabulating the properties of the SiC material platform according to the corresponding primary structures. This is followed by recent results including both cumulative advances in established SiC applications as well significant developments in novel and potential SiC applications. Attention is directed to Si and C source chemistries, especially single source SiC precursors; novel nanoscale process intensification methodologies, and the corresponding effects on film properties and performance. Additionally, research and development efforts in which SiC materials are projected to play an enabling role in the introduction of new technological applications are discussed.

The complexity and efficient development of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) require robust testing and validation methods to ensure their safety and reliability. This book chapter presents Siemens’ autonomy toolchain for testing and virtual validation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and AV functions. The approach integrates scenario-based testing, virtual validation, and compliance with the applicable regulations and standards, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Relying on the multi-pillar safety validation framework proposed by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE), and EU regulations, Siemens’ toolchain enables efficient scenario extraction, critical scenario creation, and large-scale virtual validation. By addressing both software infrastructure and scenario generation, Siemens contributes to enhancing the reliability and safety of ADAS and AV systems.

Published: February 2025

This paper aims to introduce and discuss two existing algorithms, namely Ford-Fulkerson’s Algorithm and Dinic’s Algorithm. These algorithms are for determining the maximum flow from source (s) to sink (t) in a flow network. A numerical example is solved to illustrate both algorithms, and to demonstrate, study, and compare the procedures at each iteration. The results show that Dinic’s Algorithm returns the maximum flow that takes a smaller number of iterations and augmentations than the Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm. In terms of complexity, the running time of Dinic’s algorithm is O(n^2m), which should make it perform better on dense graphs. This goes to show that the claim by many researchers that Dinic’s Algorithm is very powerful in solving big network flow problems is justified.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of varying currents injected into the coil during the curing process of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) fabrication. In preparing MRE material, two types of MRE can be developed based on the curing process method fabrication which is isotropic and anisotropic. In this study, an anisotropic MRE is fabricated. The process of anisotropic MRE material is performed by applying the input current to the MRE material during the curing process. Firstly, the simulation is conducted by using the finite element magnetic method (FEMM) to investigate the magnetic field intensity. The magnetic field intensity is evaluated by varying the MRE parameters such as the number of coils turns, coil bobbin, the diameter of coil and input current applied to the coil. Then, the parameters are used for the MRE material fabrication process in preparing the optimum performance of anisotropic MRE. In this study, the three MRE designs are developed. The two designs of MRE are developed for anisotropic types and another one for isotropic type. The isotropic types are developed for comparing their capability performance to absorb the impact energy. To test the performance between anisotropic and isotropic, an impact test rig is used. The performance of anisotropic MRE is evaluated by comparing each input current applied to the MRE coil in the form of force-time characteristics.

This paper presents the development of a position tracking controller for an under actuated underwater vehicle (UUV) using the root locus technique. The development of UUV has seen significant progress in recent years with many prospects of improvement. Its application allows dangerous operations such as search and rescue missions to be performed without human involvement on board. In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic model of UUV is developed, and a second-order step response is obtained. A position tracking control using a PID controller is designed using a root-locus technique to track the position of the UUV nonlinear system. The performance of the closed-loop control system is analysed based on its transient response and steady-state error. The PD controller alone is sufficient to control the steady-state error and transient response based on the analysis. The result of simulation analysis will be used for tuning of a control system in actual underwater remotely operated vehicle UROV developed.

Recent advancements in the field of autonomous vehicles have attracted a lot of interest which indirectly, increased the amount of research and development that went into autonomous mobile robots. Unlike older industrial robots, which have limited mobility and capabilities, current autonomous robots are capable of autonomous movement and navigation, including path planning and obstacle avoidance. These robots can perform tasks that humans are unwilling to perform. Obstacle avoidance system for autonomous mobile robots especially Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), is one of the main key structures to a successful application of path planning and navigation. This paper presented various types of existing methods of collision avoidance systems or techniques used for mobile robots especially for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and the limitations of each method.

Nowadays, social media is an irresistible technology for Internet users. Users commonly use images on social media to express their feelings or share their experiences or thoughts. However, prior studies show that more effort needs to be made to delve into the significant role of motivation, engagement, and belief when users use images on social media. Building on the findings of related literature, this paper integrates the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), Two-Sided Structure (TSS) in social media, and the Extended IT Continuance Model (EICM) to explore users’ behaviour on image use in social media. The integrated model has been reviewed and validated by 10 experts from different universities, private sectors, and government agencies. All data collected were analysed using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), where the findings show the threshold value is less than 0.2 and the percentage of expert consensus is over 75%. Therefore, the integrated model can provide imperative factors for understanding users’ behaviour on image use in social media. Hence, the model can also be used as a guideline or reference for government agencies or non-government organizations (NGOs) to provide helpful information on image use in social media.

Published: February 2025

Classification is the technique applied in data mining to form groups under specified class labels. Classification is a supervised type of machine learning. In this paper, five familiar classification techniques, Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and ANFIS-PLS are compared for accuracy of classification of images. Therefore, we present a comparative study of different classification techniques applied in predicting human emotion through heart rate and eye movement. This paper aims to describe and review the differences in classification techniques and the suitability of each classification to apply in the prediction of human emotion through heart rate and eye movement. Based on the literature survey from four databases: ACM, IEEE, Scopus, and Science Direct; some articles have been reviewed. The studies found that the Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is the most adopted model due to the motivation mechanism applied. A fundamental review of the selected technique is presented for introduction purposes. A brief comparison with other classifiers, the main advantages and drawbacks of these classifiers are discussed as well.
