Published: March 2024

Giving learners high-quality feedback as part of formative assessment is a high-yield method teachers can use to support learning and raise academic achievement. Despite its significance, the influence of Descriptive Written Feedback (DWF) on students’ mathematics achievement has yet to be widely studied. This study, therefore, investigated the influence of the teachers’ descriptive written feedback on mathematics achievement in selected secondary schools in Konoin Sub-County of Bomet County, Kenya. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between the independent (Descriptive Written Feedback) and dependent variable (Mathematics Achievement). The Student Achievement Test (SAT) scores attained by the students right after covering the topic of the gradient and the equation of a straight line were used to measure the students’ mathematics achievement. A simple random sampling method was employed to select the ten schools used in this study. ANOVA was used to analyse the data. The study findings showed that descriptive written feedback significantly influences mathematics achievement. The study suggested that mathematics teachers should provide students with descriptive written feedback for improved attainment of expected learning outcomes and enhanced student performance.

Smart LPG Leakage Monitoring and Control System Using Gas Sensor (MQ-X), AWS IoT, and ESP Module
Authors: Chakraborty Sudip , Aithal P. S.
Published: March 2024

Purpose: Nowadays, LPG is used in almost every kitchen for cooking. It has lots of advantages over other cooking fuels. We need to maintain compliance when we cook using it. The gas flows through a couple of equipment like a regulator, pipe, knob, and burner. If equipment got damaged or the regulator was kept on after cooking, it emitted the gas. This event is dangerous and destructive. So, once it is emitted, it should be detected immediately, and emissions should be stopped. There are several sensors available to detect the gas. We demonstrate using this sensor to build an intelligent gas monitoring system here. When the gas is detected, we regulate the valve and stop the gas emission using the control mechanism. Design/Methodology: There are two approaches to designing the LPG detector for the researcher. One approach is to create from scratch, using the raw sensor, creating the schematics, and then building the PCB. After that, the components are assembled and tested in a natural environment. Finally, it would be best if we pack within a suitable enclosure. It takes time to make a testable product. The other approach is for rapid prototyping. Here, we followed the fast procedure. To minimize the hardware overhead, we purchased one complete gas detector system, which is available in the market, and then we added our intelligence to it. Findings/Result: We tested the prototype in a natural environment. The result was found as expected and very promising. We inject the LPG into the sensor. After a couple of seconds, the built-in relay got energized. The ESP module sends the message to the predefined mobile number. Originality/Value: Several projects have already been done to detect LPG leakage. Most of the project monitors gas; it produces an alarm if leakage happens. But here we added a couple of facilities. One is when gas leakage is detected instantly; it triggers the close of the regulator valve. The second one is the incident time, which will be uploaded to the cloud, not local device memory. It will help for audit purposes. Once a leak is detected, we can send the message to the What’s App. These features provide value to the user. Type of Paper: Experimental-based Research.

Published: March 2024

Phishing is an online threat where an attacker impersonates an authentic and trustworthy organization to obtain sensitive information from a victim. One example of such is trolling, which has long been considered a problem. However, recent advances in phishing detection, such as machine learning-based methods, have assisted in combatting these attacks. Therefore, this paper develops and compares four models for investigating the efficiency of using machine learning to detect phishing domains. It also compares the most accurate model of the four with existing solutions in the literature. These models were developed using artificial neural networks(ANNs), support vector machines (SVMs), decision trees (DTs), and random forest (RF)techniques. Moreover, the uniform resource locator’s (URL’s) UCI phishing domains dataset is used as a benchmark to evaluate the models. Our findings show that the model based on the random forest technique is the most accurate of the other four techniques and outperforms other solutions in the literature.

Direct Punjabi to English Speech Translation using Discrete Units
Authors: Kaur Prabhjot , M. Bush L. Andrew , Shi Weisong
Published: March 2024

Speech-to-speech translation is yet to reach the same level of coverage as text-to-text translation systems. The current speech technology is highly limited in its coverage of over 7000 languages spoken worldwide, leaving more than half of the population deprived of such technology and shared experiences. With voice-assisted technology (such as social robots and speech-to-text apps) and auditory content (such as podcasts and lectures) on the rise, ensuring that the technology is available for all is more important than ever. Speech translation can play a vital role in mitigating technological disparity and creating a more inclusive society. With a motive to contribute towards speech translation research for low-resource languages, our work presents a direct speech-to-speech translation model for one of the Indic languages called Punjabi to English. Additionally, we explore the performance of using a discrete representation of speech called discrete acoustic units as input to the Transformer-based translation model. The model, abbreviated as Unit-to-Unit Translation (U2UT), takes a sequence of discrete units of the source language (the language being translated from) and outputs a sequence of discrete units of the target language (the language being translated to). Our results show that the U2UT model performs better than the Speechto-Unit Translation (S2UT) model by a 3.69 BLEU score.

. MAXIMIZING FARMER'S INCOME IN ALBANIA: EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF COOPERATIVES IN AGRICULTURE
Authors:   Agricultural University of Tirana, Kurtaj Denisa
Published: March 2024

Vegetable farming is a highly intensive production operation that requires significant investments. Although it can provide high levels of profits, recent developments have shown that actual profitability margins for vegetable growers are low due to several reasons such as low yield level, high production costs, lack of partnership in producer-buyer relations, limited access to agricultural input markets, and high prices for consumers. Studies have shown that there are different options for selling vegetable products in the market. While some farmers sell their products on the street, most of the vegetable producers use more than one alternative for selling their produce. A large number of farmers sell their products in local markets, to wholesalers, and in some cases to exporting companies. Furthermore, studies show that vegetable producers earn about 20 All from their activity on the farm, while other actors in the supply chain earn about 35 All for operations like transport, storage, etc., which are performed for a short period of time. The length of this supply chain and the significant number of actors involved in it are major problems for vegetable producers. They are not part of the supply chain, and horizontal cooperation between them is necessary. Through this type of cooperation, farmers become active participating actors in this supply chain, with all the benefits that derive from it.

Provisoriets välsignelse och vetenskapernas drottning
Authors: Martinson Mattias
Published: March 2024

In this article, Mårten Björk's distinction between two rooms of academic and spiritual practice is problematized from the perspective of a basic recognition of the importance of Björk's contribution. If there is a need to emphasize critical authority as fundamental for academic activities in the university, as Björk claims, the problem discussed in this article is that critical authority never comes in any clean och absolute form. Different disciplines may have slightly different understandings of the critical tasks and offer different perspectives on what is more or less fundamental in the production of knowledge. These are often competing in an academic context where the disciplinary traditions are clashing and the material resources are sparse. Hence the academy is at best agonistic in its critical endeavour. It is furthermore argued that theology is very well equipped to put forward perspectives that pinpoint this basic weakness in all practical context where production of knowledge is at hand, since theology has itself been deeply questioned in its ambitious project of grasping for the ultimate.
Carnaps fråga och teologins gåta
Authors: Björk Mårten
Published: March 2024

In this text, I develop my earlier argument on the possibility of a non-confessional theological inquiry, and hence an intellectual practice devoted to the classical theological problems that begin with reason rather than faith, at secular universities in Sweden, a country with no state church and many different religions and denominations. I answer the criticism against this tentative proposal by returning to Rudolf Carnap's discussion of Friedrich Gogarten's theological tractate Die religiöse Entscheidung (1921). The logical positivist was amazed that Gogarten was so boldly staking out a new area of reality, and he wanted to know how he could see what Gogarten saw. "Gogarten can rightly say that I am blind", Carnap wrote, and "my non-seeing would not be an objection for him, but would only show that I am not (yet) one of the elect". But Carnap continued by stating that this would lead to a relativistic outcome that he could not assent to due to his "belief in reason" (Vernunftglaube). Accepting Carnap's criticism of relativism but deconstructing the difference between what he called the question (die Frage) and the puzzle or mystery (das Rätsel), I show how theological questions still emerge in the sciences and that there is a link between questions and mysteries. Insisting that Carnap's own belief in reason is a good indication of the relation between die Frage and das Rätsel, and hence between science and what the logical positivist would describe as metaphysics, I argue that systematic theology not only has a prominent and vital role at a secular university, as the science that investigates shapes and discusses theological discourses wherever they appear. It also asks (and might even give tentative answers to) the problematic question of the truth of these discourses, since I show that Carnap's, ultimately Diltheyan, attempt to differentiate understanding (verstehen) from explanation (erklären), cannot hold. Theology is, in this sense, not only an attempt to describe and explain how different religions think. It is also a critical and philosophical discussion of these thought systems' meaning and truth content. Theology thereby reminds the university of the interconnection between science and mystery, truth and meaning.

Thermoeconomic Assessments of Green Hydrogen Production Via PV&PEM Electrolyzer:
Authors: Yosaf Salem , Gnaifaid Hamoda , Mizda Assad
Published: March 2024

The study aims to estimate the amount and cost of hydrogen and oxygen that can be produced in the Al-Jufra region (Libya) using photovoltaic panels (PV). The electricity generated by PV is used to power the proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer. Through the study, the thermal efficiency of the system is calculated, as well as the factors affecting it. The amount of solar radiation that the region receives during the year is also determined, amounting to 81.72 kW/year m2, with a duration of 3421 daylight hours. With this radiation value, it is possible to produce 1272 and 636 mol/year m2 of hydrogen and oxygen, respectively, at an estimated cost of $1.42 per mole. Thermodynamic analysis of PV cells and electrolyzer shows that the electrical efficiency and exergy efficiency of PV cells are 4.8% and 5%, respectively, and vary according to the radiation intensity. The exergy and energy efficiency of the analyzer remained constant at 48% and 39%, respectively, according to the aforementioned arrangement. The decrease in the efficiency of PV energy efficiency affects the overall efficiency of the system and does not exceed 3% in ideal conditions. In addition, the expected cost in 2030 is estimated and found to be 5.77% lower than its current price. Comparing the amount and price of production in the Al-Jufra area with other areas in Libya, it becomes clear that the city of Al-Kufra has a 20% higher annual production amount.

Published: March 2024

This research is entitled Kuda Lumping Art from the Perspective of Islamic Aqeedah in Pematang Ganjang Village, Sei Rampah District, Serdang Bedagai Regency, because this Kuda Lumping art has deviated greatly from the purpose for which it was created. This Kuda Lumping art scene displays the attraction of trance, immunity, and magical powers or eating glass so that it can endanger the health of the player and for others.

In the field of legal thought, the Shi'ites have their own Usul Fiqh and istinbat principles which differ greatly from those of the existing Sunni schools of thought. This Shi'a school consists of several groups which have different beliefs. So that in the field of proposal they reject all grounds that are not in accordance with their mazhab.
