Authors: Ughulu Dr. John
Published: February 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the capacity of machines or digital systems to perform tasks traditionally requiring human intelligence. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are among the most prominent applications of AI, enabling advancements in a range of industries, including sales, recruitment, operations, and cyber security. This review provides an overview of AI's applications and highlights its transformative effects on business processes and organizational efficiency. In the context of sales, AI has shown remarkable potential in improving operational performance. By integrating AI into sales workflows, companies have been able to increase lead generation by more than 50%, reduce call durations by 60-70%, and achieve cost reductions ranging from 40% to 60%. AI also plays a significant role in customer segmentation by providing deep insights into target demographics, which leads to enhanced conversion rates and alleviates the burden on sales teams. AI has further revolutionized internal operations through automation, improving both efficiency and accuracy. For example, computer vision, a specialized AI technology, offers real-time recommendations based on visual data, significantly enhancing customer targeting. By identifying patterns in consumer behavior, businesses can deliver more personalized and relevant information to their customers. Furthermore, AI reduces the reliance on repetitive tasks, empowering employees to focus on more complex, strategic work, thus increasing overall productivity.

Authors: Hirawan Aji , Widarjo Wahyu
Published: February 2025

Performance is an effort to achieve targets and objectives translated from the vision, mission, and strategy of the organization. Good management of local government performance can improve public welfare. One way to assess the management of local government performance is by looking at accountability in regional financial management as shown in the Report on local government finances (LKPD). However, the performance of local government financial management in Indonesia has mostly not shown good results. So, it is necessary to implement the principles of good governance as an effort to improve accountability, transparent and performance in managing regional finances. This study aims to analyze the effect of internal control and performance accountability on the performance of local government financial management in Regencies/Cities for the 2021 period. The method used is descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression models with the variables used being SPIP maturity and SAKIP quality on the performance of local government financial management. The results of the study showed that the SPIP element was proven to have a positive effect on the performance of local government financial management. Then, the implementation of SAKIP was proven to have a positive effect on the performance of local government financial management.
Pager Mangkok as Manifestation of Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Mustaqomah Erniyawati , Falikhatun
Published: February 2025

This study seeks to investigate the integration of the Pager Mangkok philosophy with Javanese culture, specifically Tepo Seliro, and examine the influence of Chinese cultural values (Guanxi and Ren) and religious teachings on corporate social responsibility (CSR) behavior among micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The study also aims to assess the implementation of this philosophy in CSR activities by Javanese and Chinese MSMEs, and identify the benefits and challenges associated with its application. To achieve this, a qualitative approach with a critical case study strategy is employed, involving in-depth interviews with MSME operators selected through purposive sampling based on ethnic background and participation in sharing activities. Secondary data from books, articles, and news, as well as insights from cultural and religious experts on Tepo Seliro, Guanxi, and Ren, and Toron, are also utilized. Furthermore, a theoretical interpretive approach is used to explore how MSMEs internalize the Pager Mangkok philosophy in CSR practices. The findings indicate that CSR grounded in the Pager Mangkok philosophy incorporates religious values, ethnic traditions, and social norms, such as Tepo Seliro, Toron, Guanxi, Ren, Shodaqoh, and community donation. These practices foster harmonious relationships, enhance business reputation, and create opportunities for economic welfare. However, challenges include funding limitations, low awareness, differing priorities, and reliance on seasonal moments like Ramadan. This research has the limitation of not comprehensively exploring ethnic culture, which serves as a guideline for behavior in society. Additionally, local customs can vary across regions, and this research provides a practical guide for future studies.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: The World Health Organization recommends incorporating asthma programmes into national school health services, although this recommendation is rarely implemented.
Methods: In Malaysia, we developed a multi-level primary school asthma programme incorporating educational sessions for children with asthma and their parents, raising awareness within the whole school community and training school staff to provide first-aid asthma management. The programme was adapted for delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a mixed-method feasibility study was conducted in October 2020.
Results: We identified 34 children with asthma, who comprised 3.7% of the school population. Only 14/34 (41.2%) children with asthma and 4/14 (28.5%) of their parents attended the remote sessions. The in-person session for school staff was attended by 55/62 (88.7%), among whom 86.0% rated the session as good/excellent.
Conclusion: The school-based intervention was feasible and received good feedback, despite the COVID-19 pandemic forcing remote delivery. Stakeholder engagement is essential in the development and feasibility of a school-based asthma programme.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the effects of parental short message service (SMS) reminders on infant immunisation coverage, timeliness and barriers and evaluate the effects of sex on immunisation outcomes in Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria.
Methods: This two-arm quasi-experimental study was conducted in two primary healthcare facilities selected using simple random sampling with opaque envelopes. A total of 524 participants were enrolled using purposive sampling. Data were statistically analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 28 with repeated-measures logistic regression analysis, the Z test for Poisson rates and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results: The parental SMS reminders significantly improved the immunisation coverage, as reported by 69 (26.3%) (P=0.001, 95% confidence interval [CI]=12.2–40.5), 117 (44.7%) (P=0.001, 95% CI=32.6–56.9) and 116 (44.3%) participants (P=0.001, 95% CI=34.2–54.4) for the 6th-, 10th and 4th-week schedules, respectively. Compared to mothers’ involvement, fathers’ involvement did not significantly affect the immunisation coverage (B=0.158, P=0.311, 95% CI=−0.148–−0.464). With regard to the immunisation timeliness, the parental SMS reminders yielded a significant effect for the 6th-, 10th- and 14th-week schedules (P=0.001, 95% CI=25.9–46.7; P=0.001, 95% CI=24.2–43.0; and P=0.001, 95% CI=21.1–36.9, respectively). Compared to mothers’ involvement, fathers’ involvement significantly influenced the immunisation timeliness (B=0.298, P=0.038,
95% CI=0.016–0.579). Lastly, the parental SMS reminders significantly reduced the barriers to immunisation, with a P-value of 0.001.
Conclusion: Parental SMS reminders can significantly improve immunisation outcomes in Nigeria.
Investigating Final-Year Senior High School Students’ Academic Performance Dynamics across Demographics: The Case of Students in Cape Coast, Ghana
Authors: Mensah Eric , Kwarteng Samuel , Jehu-Appiah Josephine
Published: February 2025

The academic performance of senior high school (SHS) students has garnered significant attention, particularly in understanding the various factors influencing it across diverse demographics. This study investigated the academic performance dynamics of final-year SHS students in Ghana, focusing on academic self-efficacy (ASE), examination anxiety (EA), and academic cheating behaviours (ACB). The Theory of Performance by Elger guided the study. A cross-sectional survey design used a structured questionnaire to collect data from 370 students sampled out of 8,656 across 10 SHSs in the Cape Coast Metropolis.  Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential techniques (independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA) were employed to analyse the data. Results indicated that students generally exhibited high ASE, showing confidence in their academic abilities, though time management was a challenge. While moderate levels of EA were reported, significant variability highlighted the importance of emotional intelligence in academic performance. Regarding ACB, students largely disapproved of serious academic dishonesty but were more inclined to engage in less severe behaviours like sharing notes. Gender differences were notable, with female students reporting higher ASE and lower EA than males, while male students were more likely to engage in ACB. Age differences showed that the 16-20 age group had higher ASE and lower ACB compared to older students, although EA did not significantly vary across age groups. It is concluded that students’ ASE correlates positively with their academic capabilities, and their emotional intelligence plays a significant role in academic performance. It is recommended that targeted interventions be put in place to enhance students’ASE, manage EA, and promote academic integrity, particularly among male students, to improve overall academic outcomes.

Published: February 2025

This study examined demographic differences of prospective accountants’ antecedent of ethical behaviour (AEB) (morality and religiosity). Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development guided the study. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design to ascertain how demographics affect future accountants’ AEB. Only final-year accounting education students at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) and the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) constituted the study’s population. A census method was used to include all final-year students in this field involving 120 final-year accounting education students from UCC and 53 from UEW. A structured questionnaire i.e., closed-ended questionnaire was used to gather comprehensive data on the variables under investigation. Descriptive statistics (frequency counts, percentages, means, and standard deviations), and inferential statistics (One-way ANOVA and independent sample t-tests) were used for data analysis using SPSS version 26. The study revealed that accounting students demonstrated a high level of AEB overall. Furthermore, the results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in AEB among accounting students based on age, gender, and institutional affiliation. The study concluded that there were high levels of ethical commitment among accounting students, with no significant differences observed based on gender, age, or institutional affiliation. The study recommended that accounting programmes should place a stronger emphasis on integrating practical and scenario-based learning opportunities into their ethical education curricula as this will help accounting students engage with real-world ethical dilemmas and enhance their ability to apply theoretical knowledge in professional contexts.
Achieving Stable Intercalation States upon Optimizing Intercalation Reactions Involving Kaolinite Inter-Layer Spaces
Authors: Siafu Sempeho I.
Published: February 2025

This study explored the intercalation processes of kaolinite which is a layered phyllosilicate mineral with 1:1 structural configuration capable of incorporation of guest molecules within its interlayer spaces. The experiments utilize X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques to examine the intercalation ratios of the intercalants (cationic intercalants namely ferrihydrite and hydroxyaluminum as well as anionic intercalant namely DMSO and Methanol) for the analysis of their respective hyperstabilization effects of kaolinite structural expansion. The investigations target a stable intercalation state or S.I.S, which is defined by the constant distance between the interlayers. Findings revealed that, the order of intercalation kinetics progresses through first (76.8% A.I.R, lattice expansion: 3.61–3.62 Å), second (87.4% A.I.R) and third order (89.2% A.I.R) reactions which results into a point called “Stable Intercalation State" which is characterized with constant apparent intercalation ratios (A.I.R). It was also found that kaolinite intercalation is influenced by aging time, temperature, and molecular size thereby impacting the apparent intercalation ratio before the S.I.S point is attained. The present work provides a detailed guideline on improving intercalation through the experimental parameters to pave the way towards understanding stable intercalation states in kaolinite-host structures. The obtained results allow deepening insight into the mechanistic intercalation chemistry of kaolinite with possible end use in controlled release systems.

Authors: Irjii Matdoan Moh. Rahmat , Rasna Rasna , M Saleh Sahlan , Sah Andrian , Lamsir Seno
Published: February 2025

The number of words or terms that appear and are used in human life makes it difficult for a person to master all of these words. To overcome this, these words or/terms are compiled in a dictionary, one of which is a dictionary of medical terms. This research aims to create software that can perform its function as a medical terminology dictionary program and implement the Hash method into software that can be used for data search. This research applies the hash method to find the hash value using a rolling hash. The hash method uses input text to be transformed into numbers, thus speeding up the computational process. The application of the hash method in the addressing/storage process in the Database is very efficient in terms of time and place. The output appears in the form of word meaning and hash value. The hash value is raised to know the value of the searched term using the rolling hash formula. With this research, it is hoped that searching for the meaning of medical terms in a computerized manner can be consistent with manual searches.

Published: February 2025

Height detection is an exciting area of research with broad applications in fields such as construction, healthcare, and robotics, where measurements are still often done manually. This research aims to automate the height calculation process by developing a height detection system using image processing techniques, which offers improved accuracy and efficiency. The system that will be built works by capturing images of objects through a webcam and using the Russel Rao cluster analysis method to calculate height later. Borland Delphi 07 was chosen as the programming language because of its ability to handle image-processing tasks. This research draws on a thorough literature review of various books and articles, with the system operating in stages, starting with converting images to grayscale to simplify the data for more accessible analysis and then followed by applying Russel Rao's method for height measurement. However, the system is sensitive to environmental factors around the object. The system will perform best when there are no other objects near the target because when there are other objects nearby, it can cause the measurement line to shift and interfere with the results. The detection system requires a controlled environment with no foreign objects nearby for optimal performance. Despite these limitations, Russel Rao's analysis method achieved an accurate detection accuracy of approximately 65%, with three out of eight sample tests yielding correct measurements. While this shows room for improvement if more relevant research is to be done in the future, this system will build a strong foundation for further development in this field. Future enhancements could focus on refining the algorithm to increase detection accuracy, make the system more resilient in dynamic or cluttered environments, and expand its potential applications in various fields.

Tourism is crucial for a country's economic development, especially in emerging economies like that of the BRICS countries. The data for BRICS countries is collected from the World Bank and ICRG for 25 years. The econometric technique NARDL is used in this research to view the short and long-run effects of independent variables on tourism. The Panel NARDL analyses provide a comprehensive examination of the effects of environmental sustainability, sustainable development, and institutional performance on Tourism. They are a helpful tool for analyzing nonlinear interactions. To determine if the BRICS nations have achieved a tipping point in their environmental sustainability the point at which economic growth starts to favorably influence environmental quality and may have an impact on visitor numbers the study employs the increase in GDP as an independent variable. The results of this exhaustive study are crucial for the BRICS officials and stakeholders because they provide light on the connections between tourism, economic growth, sustainability, and institutional performance. Understanding these relationships can help policymakers promote environmental protection and sustainable development in these critical and vibrant businesses while promoting sustainable tourism growth.

Pricing of a product is vigorous for marketing strategies, which has a significant impact on the buying behavior of customers and businesses. The objective of the study is to identify the influence of diverse quality attributes of mutton on retail prices from customers' perspectives when they purchase mutton. For this purpose, the primary data were collected using a pre-tested well-defined questionnaire from the consumers of four major metropolitan cities of Pakistan i.e., Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, and Islamabad. The revealed preference theory is applied in the present study. The study used the hedonic price model considering log-linear functional form to evaluate the influence of mutton attributes on the retail price. The outcomes of this study reveal that place of purchase, meat color, hygienic condition, aroma, meat cuts, texture, juiciness, fat contents, and abattoir`s stamp are key variables that have an affirmative and substantial effect on the price of mutton at the retail level.  The results reveal that coefficients of hygienic condition, juiciness, and abattoir stamp have significant positive, whereas fat content has a negative effect on the price of mutton. The outcomes of this study will help the producers for product development with an appropriate mix of quality attributes of mutton. The implications of the outcomes have been conferred in the context of developing profitable strategies for the meat industry in an emerging country.

Authors: Hammad Abdullah
Published: February 2025

The current study aimed to assess the production cost, factors affecting citrus yield and financial appraisal of long-term investment in citrus orchards. A well-structured and pre-tested questionnaire using a simple random sampling technique was used for primary data for 2022-23. The study was confined mainly to Layyah, Bhakkar, Sahiwal and Toba Tek Singh districts because of the newly emerging citrus-growing areas of Punjab. Findings indicated that citrus orchard output begins in the fourth year and continues unabated until 30 years. It hit peak in the year 20. The net present value was $ 1507 per acre, demonstrating that citrus farming produces higher returns. The benefit-cost ratio of 1:16 indicates citrus production is a profitable enterprise. Return on investment in the citrus orchard was 20 percent, and the payback period was observed as 4th year. Regression analysis revealed that orchard size, citrus growing experience, contact with extension agents and education level had positive and significant impacts on yield. The study concludes that investment in citrus orchards has provided favorable returns to farmers. To promote citrus production, the role of agricultural extension departments should be strengthened, and agricultural extension employees should have better training in the most recent scientific citrus discoveries and techniques. Awareness should be created among citrus growers through formal and informal education as literate farmers respond quickly to adopting innovation and interventions.

Current study aims to workout  economic  analysis and  factors effecting  wheat production in  Bati Kot district, Afghanistan. In Afghanistan food security is a long-term critical issue. Wheat is the major crop, source of dietary energy and has link with longer-term food security in Afghanistan. To achieve the objectives 120 respondents were randomly selected for interviews during crop season 2023. Econometric techniques, descriptive statistics, simple budgeting and Cobb Douglas type production function was applied for analysis.  Descriptive statistics revealed that 50% of respondents were under 40 years old, 65% were literate beyond the elementary level, and 43% had family sizes ranging from 5 to 10 members. Furthermore, 60% of respondents only visited (1-2) extension visits during the crop season. Wheat yields ranged between 1400 kg and 1460 kg per acre. Total cost of wheat production was Afghani (Af). 38,266.56/-, with the total revenue Af. 52,978.44/-, and net returns Af. 14,711.88/-, respectively. Regression model shows that DAP, weedicides, and farmyard manure all have positive and significant association with wheat production. However seed, urea, and labor days are positive but non-significantly associated with wheat production in study area. Irrigation had a negative impact on wheat yield. Based on the findings the study suggests chemical fertilizers from adjacent nations to reduce cost. Furthermore, the introduction of Salinity Control & Reclamation Programs (SCARP) to make irrigation response positive and access to agricultural machinery like planters, harvesters, and threshers are likely to reduce yield loss and increase net returns for wheat producers  in the study area.
Modelling Volatility of Pakistan Stock Market Using Family of GARCH Models
Authors: Iqbal Zahid
Published: February 2025

The stock market across the globe is regarded as an essential component of modern economic systems. It is significant and acts as an indicator of a nation's economic health. The price of crude oil and exchange rates are two important macroeconomic factors that can have a big influence on the performance of the stock market. Because crude oil is widely used in the production and consumption of energy, its volatility and unpredictability can cause concern in the larger economy. Pakistan's economy is especially vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices since it imports oil, which makes their interaction with the stock market unique and complex. Changes in exchange rates can have an impact on foreign capital flows, trade balances, and the stability of the economy as a whole. We find the marginal distribution of all series by GARCH models with different error distributions. For KSE 100 index, we select the ARMA (1,1) GARCH (1,1) with skewed student t distribution on the basis of lowest AIC and BIC value.
