Authors: Thunyachairat Aannicha , Jangkrajarng Varattaya , Theeranuphattana Adisak
Published: September 2024

In an increasingly competitive global automotive landscape, the strategic integration of Total Quality Management (TQM) and Lean Practices (LP) has emerged as a crucial determinant of operational excellence and sustained organizational performance. Grounded in empirical evidence from the Thai automotive sector, this study explores the intricate synergies between TQM with Malcom Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) dimensions, lean implementation, and firm performance. This study employs the quantitative research method, where the measurement scales for each construct were adopted from the literature and reviewed by academics. Data were collected from 854 manufacturing firms in Thailand through a mail survey method. This study applied a two-step structural equation modeling (SEM) process. The findings reveal a robust direct effect of TQM (leadership, strategy planning, customer and workforce focus) on firm performance, underscoring its pivotal role. Notably, TQM also exhibited a substantial indirect effect on business performance, mediated sequentially through lean practices including continuous flow, 5S, and total preventive maintenance. Lean practices similarly demonstrated significant direct and indirect effects on firm performance. Collectively, the combined effects of MBNQA and lean practices on firm performance was also observed, substantiating their complementary contributions. These findings hold significant implications, both from an academic and a practical standpoint. From a theoretical perspective, this research enriches the discourse by providing empirical insights into the mediating roles of lean practices, elucidating the paths through which TQM's performance-enhancing effects can be transmitted. Concurrently, the magnitude of the impact these practices have on firm performance underscores their practical relevance, and insights derived from this study could play a key role in guiding automotive firms and suppliers to align critical components to drive performance excellence.
Application of Metaheuristics for Multi-Trip Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Window
Authors: Niyomphon Kantapong , Nakkiew Warisa
Published: September 2024

This study focuses on the delivery routing problem faced by a transport company located in Phuket, Thailand. The goal of this study is to find a daily optimum route in order to minimize the total transportation cost, which comprises fixed costs associated with vehicle rental and variable costs calculated based on factors of travel distance, fuel prices, and fuel consumption. The complexity of this problem is compounded by the fact that customer demand often exceeds a vehicle capacity, in terms of weight and volume. In addition, delivery must be made within specific time windows. To tackle this issue, the delivery routing problem is classified as a multi-trip capacitated vehicle routing problem with time window (MTCVRPTW). Since the problem is NP-hard, an application of metaheuristic is more practical to determine the delivery routing of the company within a reasonable computing time. In this study, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm are applied to solve MTCVRPTW. The numerical results show that DE provides better solution quality compared to those obtained from PSO and company current practices.

Authors: Garbier Milan , Čorejová Tatiana
Published: September 2024

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are becoming increasingly important and their number of applications in energy systems is constantly increasing. Although batteries cannot solve the problem of electricity storage in the long term, BESS systems have proven to be suitable for short-term provision of flexibility within the day. Their real usability is shaped by the provision of balancing services to ensure a stable supply of electricity in distribution networks. BESS systems were able to respond to the dynamic development of the electricity market in recent years and achieve excellent results from the point of view of economic return. The aim of the contribution is to present the results achieved in selected cases of BESS use and to determine their economic return. The size of the battery (installed power and capacity) is designed to be able to work in individual modes and operating cases. A critical element for the design of the battery size is the technical conditions for the provision of balancing services. On the basis of market research, we determine the costs of acquiring and operating the battery, including the need for a software superstructure for controlling the battery itself and ensuring the necessary business functions. According to the defined criteria, we evaluate the technical operation of the battery located at the point of consumption (behind the meter) using the battery model in several operating cases. Subsequently, we analyse its sales based on the development of market prices and the conditions in which the battery is placed.

Authors: Erőss László Dániel , Markovits Tamás
Published: September 2024

Additive manufacturing and topology optimization provide new possibilities to produce complex parts. They can be used separately but with joint applications as a mutually reinforcing solution in component development tasks. The results obtained using the design software can be refined even further depending on the specific goal set. This paper deals with mass reduction with stiffness-based topology optimization of a structural component. The effect of different design spaces, load cases, and design parameters were examined. Then, the new part was validated with FEA simulation. After the validation, the part was prepared for 3D metal printing. Based on the research results, we present a methodology that can be used as a solution considering the software’s limitations and the development of the specific component. Applying the methodology developed in the research makes it possible to achieve mass minimization on other parts with a similar method.

The paper presents the results of contact strength and tribological property tests of spare parts made of a popular resin using a 3D DLP printing technology. Two printer models by the same manufacturer were used in the study. The post-processing technique, which shapes the final functional properties, was diversified. Surface performance properties were compared, i.e. Shore hardness, indentation hardness, Martens hardness, elastic modulus, and parameters related to surface creep and relaxation. Tribo-logical durability in rotary motion and tribological wear in reciprocating linear motion were also evaluated using micro- and nanotribometers. This was followed by surface analyses of the friction track of the analysed materials using microscopic methods: a scanning electron microscope, a WLI interferometric microscope, and an optical microscope. The results were statistically processed and the relationship between the parameters determined in the indentation test was determined.

Authors: El Marzougui Mustapha , Messaoudi Najat , Dachry Wafaa , Bensassi Bahloul
Published: September 2024

Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) is an emerging inventory management approach that has garnered significant attention from academia and industry. Numerous recent studies have highlighted the advantages of DDMRP compared to traditional methods such as material requirement planning (MRP), Theory of constraint (TOC), and Kanban. However, the performance of DDMRP relies on several parameters that affect its effectiveness. Parameterization models and the optimization of control variables have significantly contributed to the field of inventory management and have proven to be effective and practical in addressing challenges by providing a structured approach to handling complex variables and constraints. This paper introduces an innovative parameterization model that leverages deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to parameterize a DDMRP system in the face of uncertain demand. The main objective is to dynamically determine the optimal values for the variability and lead time factors within the DDMRP framework, to maximize customer service levels and optimize inventory efficiency. The results of this study emphasize the effectiveness of DRL as an automated decision-making approach for controlling DDMRP parameters. Additionally, the findings highlight the potential for enhancing the performance of the DDMRP approach, particularly in terms of on-time delivery (OTD) and average on-hand inventory (AOHI) by adjusting the variability and lead-time factors.

Published: September 2024

Journalists at Pondok Pesantren include novice journalists who are in the press of Pondok Pesantren and still have the status of a student. Pondok Pesantren journalists certainly manage the media with the help of the institution itself. And it started from here that a journalist at a Pondok Pesantren is often considered not independent because he is under the auspices of the Pondok Pesantren where he is occupied. For this reason, it is necessary to see whether by remaining under the auspices of the Islamic Boarding School a journalist can still be independent in carrying out their duties. This study uses a qualitative research method in which this study does not prioritize the size of the population or the sampling is very limited. If the data collected is deep and can explain the phenomenon under study, there is no need to look for other sampling. Data collection strategies are through observation, interviews and documentation, as well as the validity of the data obtained by examining techniques, and in this examination technique using triangulation techniques.

Effect of Novel High-fat Diet Feeding Methods on Food Wastage, Weight Gain, Hair Coat Grease Accumulation, and Scratching Behavior in C57BL/6NCrl Mice
Authors: Guy Alyson R , Klores Molly , Prestia Kevin , Raymond Mark , Rasmussen Skye
Published: September 2024

Soft-pelleted, high-fat diets (HFD) are greasy and crumble easily leading to food wastage and hair coat grease accumulation when mice are fed using commercially available feeders. The ideal HFD feeder design should reduce food wastage, facilitate mouse weight gain, and minimize variables such as hair coat grease accumulation that have the potential to alter scratching behaviors. Our study compared the feeding efficiency of 2 commercially available feeders (feeders A and E) to 4 novel feeder designs (feeders B, C, D, and F). Novel feeders had alterations in feeding aperture size, feeding surface area, feeder configuration, and level of food presentation. Male C57BL/6NCrl mice (n = 120; 4/cage) were randomly assigned to cages containing one of the 6 feeder types and were fed HFD for 12 wk. Feeders and cage bottoms were weighed before use and then weekly at the time of cage change. Mice were weighed before starting the HFD and then biweekly. Scratching behavior was video recorded at 0, 4, 8, and 12 wk. Hair coat grease accumulation was visually scored biweekly. Feeder A use was associated with the highest feed cost due to HFD wastage ($36.98 ± 1.54/cage/wk). Mice fed using Feeder A had the highest average weight gain (23.75 ± 0.8 g, P < 0.005). However, mice also had significantly higher hair coat grease accumulation scores (P < 0.05) and significantly increased scratching frequency at 4 wk (P < 0.05) when compared with mice fed using other feeder types. Novel feeder designs utilized 10 to 21 times less HFD dispensed when compared to feeder A. Mice fed using novel feeders also displayed improved welfare, as evidenced by low hair coat grease accumulation scores, and no significant differences in scratching frequency when compared with baseline behavior.
Evaluation of Water Quality and Scarcity Issues for Sustainable Water Management Strategy in Twin Cities of Rawalpindi/ Islamabad, Pakistan.
Authors: Nadir Hafiz Muhammad
Published: September 2024

Today's water world is pebbledashed with two main trepidations of water security/ scarcity, which need in-depth elaboration. Developing countries are particularly facing the impacts of water contamination and scarcity but lack the required impetus and technical infrastructure, thus necessitating swift actions to evaluate the effects of water security/ scarcity on the environment and water resources. In this study, an effort has been made to assess the water security/ scarcity situation in the twin cities of Rawalpindi/ Islamabad, elucidating the water quality/ quantity parameters in the Rawal Lake reservoir in Pakistan by analysing the contamination. The samples were collected/ tested during spring/ monsoon seasons to analyse temporal/fluvial impacts on water discharge. The results were compared with Pakistan's and WHO's drinking water standards before and after the water treatment. Almost all the testing parameters of the raw water samples from the Rawal Lake reservoir feeding streams exceeded the standard limits or fell close to the upper threshold limits, suggesting that this water was unsuitable for drinking without extensive treatment and an efficient distribution system. The contamination, untreated sewage disposal, non-regulated water utilisation, drawdown and supply/ demand gaps are the grave factors causing the water security/ scarcity in the capital/ twin cities of Islamabad/ Rawalpindi. Pakistan has already entered the water scarcity threshold of 1014 m3/ person/ annum in 2018, reduced from water availability of 5260 m3/ person/ annum in 1950 and will likely reach a drought level by 2050 due to increased population and reduced water resources. The study proposes an organisational implementation model for catchment-level river management to ensure good quality of water, construction of 5-10 small dams, and the provision of water from Terbella Dam suggested as the long-term strategy to prevent water scarcity.
Disentangling Perceptual and Process-Related Sources of Behavioral Variability in Categorization
Authors: Seitz Florian Ismael , Jarecki Jana Bianca , Rieskamp Jörg , von Helversen Bettina
Published: September 2024

People often categorize the same object variably over time. Such intra-individualbehavioral variability can be difficult to identify, because it can be confused with abehavioral bias in binary data and it can originate in different stages of the cognitivecategorization mechanism. This article provides an overview of possible sources ofbehavioral variability in categorization, focusing on perceptual and cognitive processes. Todisentangle various sources of behavioral variability, a simulation with a similarity-basedcategorization model was run. The simulation shows that noise during perceptual andcognitive processes can lead to considerable misestimations of a response determinismparameter that tries to capture the variability in the responses. However, the binarycategory responses cannot discriminate between the different sources of variability, as theyall lead to similar response patterns across the stimuli. The continuous model predictions,in turn, can identify the source of the variability: Noise during feature perception leads tovariable predictions for central stimuli close to the category boundary. Noisy attention tothe features, in turn, increases the prediction variability for stimuli differing from eachcategory on another feature. Finally, more general noise during similarity computationincreases the prediction variability for the stimuli with moderate predictions. Measuringpeople’s category beliefs in a continuous way may therefore help disentangle perceptual andprocess-related sources of behavioral variability. Ultimately, this can inform interventionsaimed at making human categorizations more precise in specific domains by indicatingwhich steps of the categorization mechanism to target.
Exploring the impact of mental workload on performance the role of working memory
Authors: MIR SUHAIL RAFIQ
Published: September 2024

Mental workload is one of the complex representations of an individual's mental state while involving the amount of cognitive processing and resources during the execution of the task. As attentiveness is recognized as the functional state of an individual. The present study addresses the interaction of mental workload during arithmetic tasks of varied difficulty indices on executive function. The study reflects that the limited capacity of working memory accessible during mental load depends on the functional state of an individual. The low mental workload was manipulated by using a single operator for addition problems and high mental workload through three operators. The same action was performed with a corresponding subtraction operation. The results found during both operations as the complexity increases the performance decreases and need more time for processing. The results specify that mental workload may be the outcome of different individual related attributes, including practice, flexibility and strategy selection. The study suggests that overcoming the fixed mindset requires solutions that are adaptable and flexible, enabling individuals to embrace the idea that cognitive functioning can be enhanced through effort and effective strategies. It suggests that a holistic module should be developed to provide more effective solutions, rather than managing mental workload aspects separately.
Wawk on the wild side: Pseudohomophone processing revisited
Authors: Stefanova Vasilena , Scheepers Christoph
Published: September 2024

The pseudohomophone effect refers to an established finding whereby in a visual lexical decision task, non-word letter strings that are pronounced like real words (e.g., WAWK) are harder to reject than pronounceable non-word strings that are non-homophonic to real words (e.g., FLIS). This paper reports two lexical decision experiments that aimed at further exploring the underlying processing mechanisms. We compared pseudohomophones like WAWK with unpronounceable non-words like NRUG and pronounceable non-words like FLIS, and made sure that all stimuli (including real-word decoys) were carefully matched in length, bigram frequency, and number of orthographic neighbours. As a consequence of this matching, the real-word decoys were from a considerably lower lexical frequency band than the base words of the pseudohomophone stimuli. Experiment 1 employed a standard lexical decision task, whereas Experiment 2 used the 2AFC eye-tracking paradigm originally developed in Kunert & Scheepers (2014). Through non-linear modelling, the latter allowed for a more fine-grained time course analysis of stimulus processing per trial. Both experiments converged on showing a reversal of the classical pseudohomophone effect. While unpronounceable strings like NRUG were correctly rejected relatively quickly, pseudohomophone strings like WAWK were indeed easier to reject than pronounceable non-word strings like FLIS. We propose that the direction of the pseudohomophone effect may depend on the overall material context, i.e., whether non-word strings are tested against the background of relatively high- or relatively low-frequency word decoys.

Objective: This scoping review aims to use Social Cognitive Theory as a theoretical framework to identify and synthesise the social-cognitive factors underlying NSSI disclosures. Background: Disclosing NSSI can catalyse one’s recovery and offer opportunities for social support and professional help-seeking. However, approximately half of people who self-injure have never disclosed their NSSI to anyone. Factors involved in the decision to disclose often align with the key tenets of Social Cognitive Theory, namely self-efficacy, disclosure expectancies, and social modelling of disclosure. Applying Social Cognitive Theory to synthesise and map the literature may offer a theoretical explanation as to how these factors work together to shape the decision to disclose experiences of NSSI. Such knowledge may identify specific and modifiable cognitions that may be targeted in future research and interventions to support people who wish to disclose their NSSI. Eligibility criteria: This review will consider all published and unpublished empirical studies that focus on populations with 1) a history of NSSI, 2) examine NSSI disclosures, and 3) report on at least one social-cognitive factor associated with NSSI disclosures. Methods: This scoping review will be guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s (2019) 5-step methodological framework and Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) guidelines for conducting scoping reviews. The search will be conducted on Medline, Scopus, PyschInfo, Web of Science, ProQuest Central, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Database. The results will be imported to JBI SUMARI where two reviewers will independently screen the sources against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both reviewers will be involved in the data extraction process. Conclusion: This scoping review will synthesise the social-cognitive factors associated with NSSI disclosures. In doing so, this review will also aim to identify research gaps and inform future research to advance the understanding of NSSI disclosures.
TextualLLMap: A dataset of 28,000 Large Language Models' writings designed to expose their biases on societal issues
Authors: Improta Riccardo , Veltri Giuseppe Alessandro , Stella Massimo
Published: September 2024

Millions of users use Large Language Models (LLMs) to research information about complex topics related to societal issues. Hence, LLMs might be influencing large worldwide audiences in ways that have not yet been explored with data. To address this data science gap, this study introduces TextuaLLMap: a collection of 28,000 English and Italian LLM-generated texts on societal topics ranging from Education to public health, including climate change and global warming. Texts were mined from OpenAI's ChatGPT, LLama3, Claude's Haiku, Mistral and LLamantino. To quantitatively display how this dataset can be used to assess LLMs' framings and biases, we adopt EmoAtlas, an affective computing library that was recently psychologically validated. We show how TextuaLLMap can highlight affective biases, language-dependent performance, shifting communicational styles and topic avoidance in LLMs. We believe TextuaLLMap can thus foster innovative inquiries of LLMs' biases also among researchers without the computational and economic resources needed to simulate or access large language models.
Gender Differences in Understanding of the Parental Leave System: Empirical Evidence from Japan
Authors: Hirao Tomotaka , Igawa Shizue
Published: September 2024

Understanding the parental leave system at childbearing age is crucial for life after childbirth, regardless of gender. According to a 2021 UNICEF report, Japan has the best paid paternity leave policy in the world. However, the uptake rate of parental leave for Japanese male employees remains low compared to international averages. Many Japanese fathers may be underutilizing this benefit of this highly ranked parental leave system. Although there are several reasons for this, this study focuses on a lack of understanding of the particulars parental leave system. The empirical results of this study show that female employees possess more knowledge than their male counterparts and that the determinants of this knowledge differ between men and women. A worrying aspect of these results is the lack of opportunities for young male employees to improve their parental leave knowledge in the “lowest-low fertility” society of Japan. Future research is needed to try to identify new determinants of this knowledge to better understand and overcome the relationship of this problem to Japan’s low fertility rate.
OSMAN BAKAR AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL RENEWAL IN THE MUSLIM WORLD
Authors: Aljunied Khairudin
Published: September 2024

This article examines the ideas of a philosopher-historian, Osman Bakar, and his call for an “epistemological renewal” in the Muslim world. Epistemological renewal involves, firstly, laying bare the knowledge crisis that has plagued contemporary Muslims. Secondly, Osman advocates the reconstruction of modern knowledge through the paradigm of dual consilience to overcome the problems that have been brought about by secularism, materialism and European universalism. Through his interrogation of issues affecting Muslim thought in the modern world, Osman has posed many searching questions for Muslims in Southeast Asia and beyond to consider in their bid to move beyond colonial constructions of knowledge and recover the past legacies of the Muslim civilisation.

Subsektor perkebunan menghadapi tantangan besar dalam upaya mengelola lingkungan, sehingga pengungkapan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) menjadi krusial untuk menunjukkan tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk menentukan pengaruh ukuran perusahaan, profitabilitas, dan leverage terhadap pengungkapan Corporate Social Responsibility  pada perusahaan subsektor perkebunan yang terdaftar di BEI. Variabel independen pada penelitian ini adalah ukuran perusahaan, profitabilitas,  dan leverage sedangkan variabel dependennya yaitu pengungkapan corporate social responsibility (CSR).  Ukuran  perusahaan diukur berdasarkan total aset, profitabilitas diukur menggunakan ROA, dan leverage diukur dengan DER. Pengungkapan CSR dinilai melalui biaya CSR. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kuantitatif. Populasi yang diteliti adalah perusahaan subsektor perkebunan yang terdaftar di BEI pada tahun 2021-2023. Sampel penelitian dipilih menerapkan pendekatan purposive sampling, dimana sampel dipilih sesuai dengan kriteria tertentu yang diinginkan oleh peneliti. Sebanyak 15 perusahaan menjadi sampel dalam penelitian ini, dengan periode pengamatan selama 3 tahun,  sehingga total sampel yang dianalisis adalah 45. Data dalam penelitian ini dianalisis menggunakan SPSS versi 26 untuk melakukan uji hipotesis. Temuan dari analisis menunjukkan bahwa ukuran perusahaan secara positif dan signifikan mempengaruhi tingkat pengungkapan CSR. Profitabilitas, sebaliknya, memiliki dampak negatif dan signifikan, sementara leverage tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap pengungkapan CSR.
