A REVIEW OF SHARE UNIT IMPACT AS A VOTING DETERMINANT FOR STRATA SUBDIVISION TERMINATION IN MALAYSIA: A COMPARISON WITH SINGAPORE
Authors: Bakri Ilmiah , Samsudin Salfarina , Ab. Muin Zafirah
Published: October 2023

Buildings have a finite lifespan, and urban redevelopment initiatives are implemented to ensure the sustainability of cities. One legal solution for removing unsafe structures and making room for new developments is strata subdivision termination. In this process, the share unit, which determines an owner's contribution to building upkeep and voting rights, plays a vital role in decision-making. However, conflicts arise regarding the entitlements of share units, particularly in mixed-use developments. The current share unit formula lacks differentiation for limited access and benefits for certain parcel proprietors, resulting in potential prejudice and unfairness in the payment of maintenance fees. This review paper delves into the significance of share units in the context of strata subdivision termination and redevelopment in Malaysia and Singapore. Both Malaysia and Singapore calculate share units based on the floor area. However, their formulas differ in certain aspects. Unlike in other countries, Malaysia’s share unit’s entitlement does not determine ownership rights over the common property. Additionally, the termination of a subdivision requires a unanimous resolution, excluding invalid votes, and the share unit's significance regarding property value and compensation during acquisition is minimal. This article has been created using the qualitative approach, combining information gathered from dependable and pertinent statutes, books, journals, articles, case law, and seminar papers. The paper sheds light on the complexities and inequities associated with share units and emphasizes the necessity for further research to address these issues and emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about strata ownership's legal and practical aspects.
A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION IN MALAYSIA?
Authors: Wu Kai-Ming Joshua
Published: October 2023

At the time of writing, for all intents and purposes, Malaysia does not expressly
and incontrovertibly acknowledge the right of access to information. This
article seeks to argue that Malaysia should recognise such a right. This article
explores how such a right would be consistent with international human rights
standards, regional human rights standards, Malaysia’s Cabinet policy decision
on 11th July 2018, and the Federal Government’s current freedom of
information practices. This article also examines how the Judiciary has in the
past indicated its openness to the existence and/or applicability of such a right
within Malaysian jurisprudence. This article lastly looks into how the right of
access to information can become a constitutional right in Malaysia by way of
judicial recognition and/or constitutional amendment.
ROLE OF HUMAN CAPITAL, INCOME INEQUALITY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON CO2 MITIGATION IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Afroz Rafia , Imon Riasat Amin , Muhibbullah Md , Afroz Shahana
Published: October 2023

The present research endeavours to investigate the interconnection among human capital, income inequality, renewable energy consumption, economic growth, and pollution. The ultimate objective is to identify effective policy approaches by uncovering empirical findings. This study employs the innovative approach of dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) to examine data spanning from 1980 to 2018. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the DOLS estimation, we utilise the fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) and canonical correlation regression (CCR) techniques. In order to comprehensively investigate the association between the chosen variables, a paired Granger causality analysis was employed. Findings of this study show that using renewable energy enhances Malaysia's environmental quality, while economic growth, income inequality, and human capital all cause environmental deterioration. Therefore, it is possible that Malaysia could achieve its goal of reducing CO2 emissions and meeting its obligations under the Paris Agreement if it were to successfully adopt policy initiatives to develop human capital, increase the use of renewable energy sources, achieve a low-carbon economy, and reduce the income disparity. The research presents several new findings. The authors show that economic growth is one of the drivers of renewable energy use because it provides inputs for the development of renewable energy technology and infrastructure. But if there is pollution as a result of rapid economic growth, it will also negatively impact worker productivity. As a result, the poor get poorer, and the income inequality gap widens. This will obstruct both economic advancement and government efforts to promote the creation of renewable energy sources.

Authors: Shen Xin , Abd Rahman Azmawani , Isa Siti Suriawati
Published: October 2023

As a predictor of the customer's actual action, the intention to stay at a hotel can be used to determine whether the customer will stay there. This study aims to analyze the content of journal articles discussing customers' intention to stay in a hotel. This study analyzed 347 articles in the Scopus database using bibliometric methods and VOSviewer software, including their annual frequency, journals, institutions, co-citations, co-occurrence of keywords, and research frontiers. The results show that intention is an essential predictor of behavioral research and closely related service quality, perception, satisfaction, and trust. In addition, associated theories are constantly breaking through, resulting in innovation. From the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), then the Model of Goal-directed Behavior (MGB) has been developed. Based on MGB, the latest Theory of Repurchase Decision-making (TRD) was proposed within the context of the intention to stay at a hotel. Finally, the research objects are evolving from traditional hotels to green and environmentally friendly hotels, as well as the latest medical hotels. The findings provide clues for further research in this field.

Exclusive Lasso Assisted Two-Stage Fuzzy-Rough Feature Selection
Authors: Qu Yanpeng , Qiu Lin , Shang Changjing , Shen Qiang
Published: October 2023

  

Fuzzy-rough sets (FRS) encapsulate the related but distinct concepts of vagueness (for fuzzy sets) and indiscernibility (for rough sets), both of which occur as a result of uncertainty in data, information or knowledge. The application of FRS in feature selection (FS) has employed the dependency degree to guide the FS process with much success. Whilst promising, most existing fuzzy-rough feature selection (FRFS) approaches are only conducted at the level of individual features, considering the inclusion/exclusion of individual features with regard to a candidate feature subset. In this case, the insight of meaningful information about certain inherent feature structure, such as the correlation between features or the collaborative contribution to a common decision may be ignored. To address this issue, an exclusive lasso assisted two-stage fuzzy-rough FS (EL-TSFRFS) method is presented in this paper. First, regarding discernibility, all features are divided into distinct groups using k-means clustering and the exclusive lasso regularization is utilised to select the representative features in each cluster, with such selected features sorted in descending order within the cluster. Second, a feature grouping-based FRFS algorithm is implemented to further determine the final discriminating feature subset. Comparative experimental results show that the reduct gained by the proposed approach generally outperforms those attained by alternative implementations of FRFS, in terms of both the size of the selected feature subset and the subsequent classification accuracy using the feature subset. Moreover, this is the first work to apply exclusive lasso to fuzzy-rough feature selection.

Authors: Nur Tri Putri , Gofar Nuni
Published: October 2023

The limitations of agricultural land currently encourage cultivation activities to be carried out with the use of limited space such as indoor cultivation by utilizing irradiation techniques and the use of varied planting media. This study aimed to evaluate the  growth and yield of  indoor-cultivated mustard microgreens to the irradiation duration and the composition of varied planting media. This study used a split plot design with the treatment of LED irradiation duration of 0, 10, and 20 hours/day, and the variations  of planting media, 100% soil, 100% compost, addition of 50% compost and cocopeat, and a combination of compost and cocopeat planting. The study results showed that the irradiation only affected the plant height in the both planting periods. The treatment of the composition of the planting media had significant effect on all variables observed in the two planting periods, while the interaction had a very significant effect on the plant height on 1st planting period and root length on 2nd planting period. The treatment of 50% soil + 50% compost on LED 10 hours/day had the highest yield of fresh weight in two planting periods. The use of 100% soil media inhibited the growth of mustard microgreens, while the irradiation of 0 hours/day in all planting media treatments showed the symptoms of etioliation. So, the treatment of 10 hours/day irradiation with the addition of 50% compost is able to provide  the best results in quality and quantity against the pH value and the growth and yield of mustard  microgreens.

Sens w maszynie – Buster Keaton i „Generał”
Authors: Masłoń Sławomir
Published: October 2023

W swym artykule Masłoń argumentuje przeciwko takim interpretacjom Generała (1926) Bustera Keatona, które przedstawiają ten film jako krytykę mechanizacji, a co za tym idzie – dehumanizacji ludzkiego życia w nowoczesnym świecie. Wychodząc od definicji Bergsona, dla którego esencją komedii jest „mechaniczność powlekająca życie”, i uwzględniając romantyczną proweniencję tej definicji (idee organicznego dzieła sztuki, sentymentalnej wewnętrzności itp.), autor stara się pokazać, że wbrew tej tradycji to właśnie „bezduszne” ciało jest przedstawione w filmie jako interesujące oraz że owo ciało, a nie spontaniczna duchowość, jest źródłem autonomii głównego bohatera i jego poetyckiego uroku. Co więcej, jeśli wziąć pod uwagę formę filmu, tylko „mechanicznie” skonstruowany slapstickowy wątek – oparty na pogoni, ukazujący stawanie się Johnny’ego maszyną – można uznać za samowystarczalny, choć zostaje on „zanieczyszczony” przez narzucone mu, rzekomo organiczne, sentymentalne i heroiczne konwencje. W ten sposób (zarówno w treści, jak i formie) film ten nie tylko odnosi się do uroszczeń spontaniczności i sentymentalnej organiczności, lecz także może być uznany za ocenę tej strony walczącej w wojnie secesyjnej, której tożsamość odwołuje się do tego rodzaju wartości.
The Use of Man-Made Satellites of the Earth in Meteorology
Authors: Gottwald Aleš , Rein František
Published: October 2023

In the presented article, the authors set out a survey of the meteorological satellites which have been launched up to now according to different programmes. They come to the conclusion that the development and the trials of the first-stage variants has been almost finished, and that recently we are entering the stage of the primary use of satellites in synoptic and aereal and nautical meteorology. A development of new systems and putting them into practical use is to be expected but the old need of practical meteorology - for at least basic information about the weather situation over uninhabited regions and the oceans - is being secured nowadays, not only from time to time but mostly every day. This fact has a great importance for the current weather forecast.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: People who do “People work” of some kind are prone to burnout. Dentists are subjected to intense interaction with patients on a regular basis. Burnout is considered a serious professional risk in dentistry. So, this study aimed to find out the prevalence of burnout in dental practitioners of Nepal and its association with different demographic and practice-related variables.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess outcomes among dental practitioners registered with the Nepal Dental Association from June to July 2021. All members were sent an online form to be filled out through emails. The questionnaire consisted of demographic and practice-related variables details along with a 16-item Oldenburg Burnout Inventory to assess burnout. Exhaustion and disengagement were the two components that were assessed with the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) v 11.5 was used for data analysis. Mean, standard deviation, percentage were calculated and chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test were employed for inferential analysis.

Results: A total of 155 dental practitioners were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 32.44 years (SD: 5.20). The prevalence of burnout was found to be 69.7%. The number of practitioners with low exhaustion and low disengagement was 18 (11.6%) only. Burnout was more common among younger (p=0.043) and unmarried (p=0.017) participants.

Conclusions: A big proportion of dental practitioners reported burnout. Further research is warranted to identify the stressors causing burnout. Concerned authorities should take note of this phenomenon and work towards reducing it
Post-Operative Priapism: Often Overlooked after Spinal Anaesthesia in Orthopaedic Surgery
Authors: Kumar Raya Pawan , Kumar KC Kiran
Published: October 2023

Priapism is defined as an abnormal persistent erection of the penis or clitoris. It is unrelated to sexual stimulation and unrelieved by ejaculation. Overall incidence of priapism is 1.5 to 2.9 per 100000 person-year. Defining the etiology of a case of postoperative priapism following orthopedic surgery can be difficult, and many times cannot be determined. We present a rare case report of priapism following an elective open reduction and internal fixation with minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis for right lower leg bone fracture performed under spinal anaesthesia in a 21-year-old man and reviewed some literatures and potential etiologies of this rare complication. We also highlighted the problems in delayed recognition of the complication and a good functional outcome despite delayed management.
Cases On Issues And Problems In Educational Management
Authors: Jones Sonia O.
Published: October 2023

Increased public awareness of the importance of education to national development has brought the work of the school and other educational institutions into sharp focus. The job of the educational manager/administrator in creating the climate for effectiveness and efficiency in the management of educational institutions must be seen as one of the most critical elements in the equation, if not the most. The factors that define the role of educational managers/administrators must be constantly studied. Despite the complexities involved, an understanding of the internal and external factors impinging on each institution will go a far way in dealing with issues and problems when they arise. This resource is designed as a practical approach to integrating theory and practice. It is a tool to be used in diagnosing and treating situations that have the potential to derail the objective of providing society with an educational product that will contribute much to societal and individual development. School managers/administrators will find a number of situations depicted in the cases similar to their own experiences or dissimilar to the extent that no two situations are the same. What is relevant here is that the dynamic milieu in which educational management takes place throws up continuous challenges that must be faced and handled with professional expertise. Such expertise is born out of a knowledge base that is rich in practical experiences, theory and research.

Published: October 2023

Software specifications represent one of the risks that can cause a project to fail if they tend to be modified during development. it is a problem that all companies with an information system or developing software can face regardless of the latter's size. Specification techniques have indeed evolved over the last few years to avoid this type of situation as much as possible. Nevertheless, one can never predict a client's evolutionary needs. To remedy this problem, there is a solution that we consider effective, which is reverse engineering. Reverse engineering is not a new term. Originally, reverse engineering meant analyzing hardware to improve it in the case of a proprietary product or to detect its strengths in the case of a competing product. By projecting these concepts onto the software, we conclude that the goal is to fully understand the system and its structure. And if the goal of reverse engineering on hardware is to duplicate the system, the goal on software is to understand its design for maintenance and support purposes.
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct: The new frontier of biliary pathology
Authors: Mocchegiani Federico , Vincenzi Paolo , Conte Grazia , Nicolini Daniele , Rossi Roberta , Cacciaguerra Andrea Benedetti , Vivarelli Marco
Published: October 2023

Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNBs) represent a rare variant of biliary tumors characterized by a papillary growth within the bile duct lumen. Since their first description in 2001, several classifications have been proposed, mainly based on histopathological, radiological and clinical features, although no specific guidelines addressing their management have been developed. Bile duct neoplasms generally develop through a multistep process, involving different precursor pathways, ranging from the initial lesion, detectable only microscopically, i.e. biliary intraepithelial neoplasia, to the distinctive grades of IPNB until the final stage represented by invasive cholangiocarcinoma. Complex and advanced investigations, mainly relying on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cholangioscopy, are required to reach a correct diagnosis and to define an adequate bile duct mapping, which supports proper treatment. The recently introduced subclassifications of types 1 and 2 highlight the histopathological and clinical aspects of IPNB, as well as their natural evolution with a particular focus on prognosis and survival. Aggressive surgical resection, including hepatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy or both, represents the treatment of choice, yielding optimal results in terms of survival, although several endoscopic approaches have been described. IPNBs are newly recognized preinvasive neoplasms of the bile duct with high malignant potential. The novel subclassification of types 1 and 2 defines the histological and clinical aspects, prognosis and survival. Diagnosis is mainly based on MRI and cholangioscopy. Surgical resection represents the mainstay of treatment, although endoscopic resection is currently applied to nonsurgically fit patients. New frontiers in genetic research have identified the processes underlying the carcinogenesis of IPNB, to identify targeted therapies.

An automated exact solution framework towards solving the logistic regression best subset selection problem
Authors: van Niekerk Thomas , Venter Jacques V. , Terblanche Stephanus E.
Published: October 2023

An automated logistic regression solution framework (ALRSF) is proposed to solve a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation of the well known logistic regression best subset selection problem. The solution framework firstly determines the optimal number of independent variables that should be included in the model using an automated cardinality parameter selection procedure. The cardinality parameter dictates the size of the subset of variables and can be problem-specific. A novel regression parameter fixing heuristic that utilises a Benders decomposition algorithm is applied to prune the solution search space such that the optimal regression parameter values are found faster. An optimality gap is subsequently calculated to quantify the quality of the final regression model by considering the distance between the best possible log-likelihood value and a log-likelihood value that is calculated using the current parameter values. Attempts are then made to reduce the optimality gap by adjusting regression parameter values. The ALRSF serves as a holistic variable selection framework that enables the user to consider larger datasets when solving the best subset selection logistic regression problem by significantly reducing the memory requirements associated with its mixed integer programming formulation. Furthermore, the automated framework requires minimal user intervention during model training and hyperparameter tuning. Improvements in quality of the final model (when considering both the optimality gap and computing resources required to achieve a result) are observed when the ALRSF is applied to well-known real-world UCI machine learning datasets.

Adamantane-containing drug delivery systems
Authors: Dragomanova Stela , Andonova Velichka
Published: October 2023

Adamantane is a weakly functional hydrocarbon widely used to develop new drug molecules to improve their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters. The compound has an affinity for the lipid bilayer of liposomes, enabling its application in targeted drug delivery and surface recognition of target structures. This review presents the available data on developed liposomes, cyclodextrin complexes, and adamantane-based dendrimers. Adamantane has been used in two ways – as a building block to which various functional groups are covalently attached (adamantane-based dendrimers) or as a part of self-aggregating supramolecular systems, where it is incorporated based on its lipophilicity (liposomes) and strong interaction with the host molecule (cyclodextrins). Adamantane represents a suitable structural basis for the development of drug delivery systems. The study of adamantane derivatives is a current topic in designing safe and selective drug delivery systems and molecular carriers.

Published: October 2023

In this paper, a distributed machine-learning strategy, i.e., federated learning (FL), is used to enable the artificial intelligence (AI) model to be trained on dispersed data sources. The paper is specifically meant to forecast cryptocurrency prices, where a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based FL network is used. The proposed framework, i.e., F-LSTM utilizes FL, due to which different devices are trained on distributed databases that protect the user privacy. Sensitive data is protected by staying private and secure by sharing only model parameters (weights) with the central server. To assess the effectiveness of F-LSTM, we ran different empirical simulations. Our findings demonstrate that F-LSTM outperforms conventional approaches and machine learning techniques by achieving a loss minimal of $ 2.3 \times 10^{-4} $. Furthermore, the F-LSTM uses substantially less memory and roughly half the CPU compared to a solely centralized approach. In comparison to a centralized model, the F-LSTM requires significantly less time for training and computing. The use of both FL and LSTM networks is responsible for the higher performance of our suggested model (F-LSTM). In terms of data privacy and accuracy, F-LSTM addresses the shortcomings of conventional approaches and machine learning models, and it has the potential to transform the field of cryptocurrency price prediction.
Comparison between T2 Turbo Inversion Recovery Magnitude and T2 Frequency Selective Fat Saturation Turbo Spin Echo MRI Sequences in Detection of Perianal Fistula
Authors: Baqir Noor Fadhil , Ahmed Rasha Sabeeh , Mohsen Khaleel Ibraheem
Published: October 2023

Fat suppression magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences are routinely included in the MRI protocol for patients with perianal fistula to improve the visibility of the abnormal tracts and abscesses against the background of hypo-signal intensity on the image. The objective of this study is to compare the turbo inversion recovery magnitude (TIRM) and frequency selective fat saturation turbo spin echo (FSTSE) MRI sequences in detecting perianal fistulas in terms of time and clarity. The MRI protocol included a coronal T2 turbo inversion recovery magnitude sequence, a T2 fat saturation turbo spin echo, and T2 turbo inversion recovery magnitude sequences in the axial plane. The evaluation of sequence image quality involved calculating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Additionally three radiologists assessed the best image using a questionnaire designed to align with the study’s objectives. The T2 TIRM sequence was found to have the highest number of ticked images. The inter-rater kappa agreement showed fair agreement (k = 0.370) between the raters. However, the SNR and CNR values for the T2 FSTSE were higher than those of the T2 TIRM sequence, with a p-value less than 0.001. There is a significant difference in the meantime in that the T2 TIRM sequence has less time than the T2 FSTSE with a p-value < 0.001. Due to its uniform fat suppression in the MR image and shorter acquisition time, the turbo inversion recovery magnitude sequence exhibited superior performance compared to the T2 frequency-selective turbo spin echo sequence.
Relationship Between Fruit Tree Growth Conditions in Orchards and the Attack by Nematodes
Authors: Saif Magdi Ismaiel
Published: October 2023

The variation in different fruit plant groups morphologically, anatomically, and physiologically beside its type in addition to the preferred place of cultivation all make a difference in the response to the infection by nematodes. In addition, the conditions in the orchard around the fruit plants affect the infection by nematodes. Some plant fruits are big trees (pears), but others are small (grapes). Some of them have a woody stem and others don't (banana). Deciduous fruits can grow in a cold climate, but evergreen fruits grow in a worm places. Orchards of pome and stone fruits are found in cold areas, but bananas grow in hot places and need a lot of water while olives prefer sandy soil with small amounts of water. The nematodes could be affected, and the amount could be decreased in sunny places with the decrease of water and by using mulch. Starting with clean and healthy seedlings or by grafting on tolerated rootstocks could minimize the nematode infection in orchards.

Published: October 2023

The healthcare industry faces challenges in delivering high-quality care with limited resources. Inefficiencies like long waiting times and excessive staff workload contribute to patient dissatisfaction. Lean methodology, specifically Lean Healthcare, offers improvement opportunities. However, barriers to implementation exist, including resistance from healthcare practitioners. This chapter proposes solutions for implementing Lean principles in healthcare. It suggests adapting vocabulary and symbols for a patient-centered approach, grouping patients into “patient pathways” for process efficiency, addressing employee feedback, collecting process data for evidence-based decision-making, and maximizing human resources. Clear communication, employee motivation, and ongoing improvement efforts are crucial. Implementing Lean effectively improves efficiency, patient satisfaction, and healthcare quality.
