A Systematic Analysis on the Admissibility of Digital Documents as Evidence in Malaysian Syariah Courts
Authors: Wan Ismail Wan Abdul Fattah , Baharuddin Ahmad Syukran , Abdul Mutalib Lukman , Alias Mohamad Aniq Aiman
Published: September 2021

Digital document is a relatively new form of evidence, particularly for use in the Malaysian Syariah courts. This scenario contrasts with civil courts, which started using digital documents in court proceedings as early as the 1950s. The use of the digital document as evidence is intended to strengthen other methods of proof further. However, the Syariah courts are still less exposed to a new proofing method because there are no specific provisions according to Islamic law to allow it. Not only that, but Syariah law practitioners are also rarely exposed to cases related to the use of digital documents. Therefore, this qualitative study will analyse the admissibility of the digital document as evidence under Islamic law through a systematic analysis. This study uses the PRISMA methodology with the range of data stored on the web at www.scopus.com and http://myjurnal.my, which brings together thousands of scientific writings worldwide. The final screening results found a total of 21 articles that discussed the practice of digital documents as evidence under Islamic law. Furthermore, from the final filter, the researchers found several works of literature that previously discussed the usage of digital documents as evidence in a trial proceeding, which indirectly shows that the Syariah court has begun to accept this type of evidence. It is expected that the results of this study will assist legal practitioners in the Syariah court and become a reference point for researchers, academics and the public in Malaysia.

The impact of grade inflation on teachers’ evaluation: A quantitative study conducted in the context of five Lebanese universities
Authors: Maamari Bassem , Naccache Hiba
Published: September 2021

Asking students to evaluate teaching faculty by every ending semester in modern education is an established trend. In the higher education circles, it is validated based on a large body of research showing a relationship between these evaluations and students’ achievement. The arising problem is whether this relation is positively associated or not, and the presence of a growing debate pertaining to the many factors influencing this correlation. Most of the cited research shows a link between the attitude of students and their achievement. This research studies the effect of students’ grade point average (GPA), together with the type of university as public or private, and students’ major, on their attitude towards faculty teaching evaluations. The results of the multiple regression show a strong relationship between GPA and students’ attitude towards faculty evaluations, suggesting an ethical duality affecting grade inflation.

Authors: Navarro Renata Soares , Preiss Potira V. , Deponti Cidonea Machado
Published: September 2021

Introdução: Estima-se que a população planetária em 2050 poderá chegar de 8 a 9 bilhões de pessoas, ou seja, a demanda de alimentos tende a aumentar. Sabendo que os produtos consumidos envolvem o uso de recursos naturais, afetando, portanto, o ambiente, torna-se pertinente compreendermos como os consumidores, enquanto atores reflexivos percebem a relação entre o consumo e o meio ambiente? Objetivo: Neste sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como os consumidores de feiras percebem a relação entre o consumo de alimentos e o meio ambiente. Material e métodos: utilizamos a análise qualitativa e para coleta de dados foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 16 consumidores de cinco feiras locais da agricultura familiar. O método utilizado foi a análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). Resultados: Dentre os resultados foi encontrado uma diferença na percepção dos consumidores entre as distintas feiras. Foi constatando que os consumidores de feiras agroecológicas percebem a relação entre o consumo e o meio ambiente vinculados ao princípio da precaução, frente a utilização de agrotóxicos para a produção de alimentos e a importância da responsabilidade socioambiental (consumo responsável). Também buscam reduzir sua pegada ecológica. Já os consumidores de feiras mistas (feiras onde possuem bancas convencionais e agroecológicas) associam o consumo e o meio ambiente a redução e reutilização de embalagens tal como a devolução de garrafas pets e caixinhas de ovos. Também apontam a importância das matas para a manutenção dos ecossistemas. Conclusão: Os resultados mostram que os consumidores das feiras agroecológicas tendem a ter uma reflexão mais crítica e abrangente em relação aos potenciais impactos socioambientais atrelados ao consumo. Já os consumidores das feiras mistas percebem a relação consumo e meio ambiente de um modo mais reducionista, abordando questões que pouco questionam os valores culturais que sustentam o estilo de consumo na sociedade contemporânea.
Building a Smart Mirror for the Purposes of Increased Productivity and Better Mental Health, Complete with an App
Authors: Liu Jonathan , Sun Yu
Published: September 2021

Oftentimes, people find themselves staring in the mirror mindlessly while brushing their teeth or putting on clothes. This time, which may seem unnoticeable at first, can accumulate to a significant amount of time wasted when looked at over the duration of a year, and can easily be repurposed to better suit one’s goals. In this paper, we describe the construction and implementation of the Smart Mirror, an intelligent mirror that boasts several features in order to improve an individual’s daily productivity. As the name suggests, it is a mirror, and so will not take anything away from the user when he or she is performing their daily teeth brushing. It also hosts facial recognition, and can recognize one’s emotions from one glimpse through the camera. The Mirror also comes with an app that is available on the Google Play Store, which helps input tasks and daily reminders that can be viewed on the Smart Mirror UI.
Ensemble Creation using Fuzzy Similarity Measures and Feature Subset Evaluators
Authors: Cross Valerie , Zmuda Michael
Published: September 2021

Current machine learning research is addressing the problem that occurs when the data set includes numerous features but the number of training data is small. Microarray data, for example, typically has a very large number of features, the genes, as compared to the number of training data examples, the patients. An important research problem is to develop techniques to effectively reduce the number of features by selecting the best set of features for use in a machine learning process, referred to as the feature selection problem. Another means of addressing high dimensional data is the use of an ensemble of base classifiers. Ensembles have been shown to improve the predictive performance of a single model by training multiple models and combining their predictions. This paper examines combining an enhancement of the random subspace model of feature selection using fuzzy set similarity measures with different measures of evaluating feature subsets in the construction of an ensemble classifier. Experimental results show that in most cases a fuzzy set similarity measure paired with a feature subset evaluator outperforms the corresponding fuzzy similarity measure by itself and the learning process only needs to occur on typically about half the number of base classifiers since the features subset evaluator eliminates those feature subsets of low quality from use in the ensemble. In general, the fuzzy consistency index is the better performing feature subset evaluator, and inclusion maximum is the better performing fuzzy similarity measure.
Creating Multi-Scripts Sentiment Analysis Lexicons for Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian Dialects
Authors: Abidi K. , Smaili K.
Published: September 2021

In this article, we tackle the issue of sentiment analysis in three Maghrebi dialects used in social networks. More precisely, we are interested by analysing sentiments in Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian corpora. To do this, we built automatically three lexicons of sentiments, one for each dialect. Each lexicon is composed of words with their polarities, a dialect word could be written in Arabic or in Latin scripts. These lexicons may include French or English words as well as words in Arabic dialect and standard Arabic. The semantic orientation of a word represented by an embedding vector is determined automatically by calculating its distance with several embedding seed words. The embedding vectors are trained on three large corpora collected from YouTube. The proposed approach is evaluated by using few existing annotated corpora in Tunisian and Moroccan dialects. For the Algerian dialect, in addition to a small corpus we found in the literature, we collected and annotated one composed of 10k comments extracted from Youtube. This corpus represents a valuable resource which is proposed for free.

Pedestrian Attribute Recognition using Gabor Wavelet Layers
Authors: N. Junejo Imran
Published: September 2021

We address the problem of Pedestrian Attribute Recognition (PAR) in this paper. Owing to the presence of surveillance cameras in almost all outdoor and indoor public spaces, keeping and eye on pedestrian is a sought-after task with many useful applications. The problem entails recognizing attributes such as age-group, clothing style, accessories, footwear style etc. This is a multi-label problem and challenging even for human observers. We propose using a convolution neural network (CNN) with trainable Gabor wavelets (TGW) layers. The proposed layers are learnable and adapt to the dataset for a better recognition. The proposed multi-branch neural network is a mix of TGW and convolutional layers and we show its effectiveness on a public dataset.

Published: September 2021

This transformation of food delivery businesses to online platforms has gained high attention in recent years. This due to the availability of customizing ordering experiences, easy payment methods, fast delivery, and others. The competition between online food delivery providers has intensified to attain a wider range of customers. Hence, they should have a better understanding of their customers’ needs and predict their purchasing decisions. Machine learning has a significant impact on companies’ bottom line. They are used to construct models and strategies in industries that rely on big data and need a system to evaluate it fast and effectively. Predictive modeling is a type of machine learning that uses various regression algorithms, analytics, and statistics to estimate the probability of an occurrence. The incorporation of predictive models helpsonline food delivery providers to understand their customers. In this study, a dataset collected from 388 consumers in Bangalore, India was provided to predict their purchasing decisions. Four prediction models are considered: CART and C4.5 decision trees, random forest, and rule-based classifiers, and their accuracies in prodividing the correct class label are evaluated. The findings show that all models perform similarly, but the C4.5 outperforms them all with an accuracy of 91.67%.

Published: September 2021

Nowadays, artificial intelligence applications are increasingly integrated into every aspect of our lives. One of the newest applications in artificial intelligence and natural language is text generation, which has received considerable attention in recent years due to the advancements in deep learning and language modeling techniques. Text generation has been investigated in different domains to generate essays and books. Writing poetry is a highly complex intellectual process for humans that requires creativity and high linguistic capability. Several researchers have examined automatic poem generation using deep learning techniques, but only a few attempts have looked into Arabic poetry. Attempts to evaluate the generated pomes coherence in terms of meaning and themes still require further investigation. In this paper, we examined character-based LSTM, Markov-LSTM, and pre-trained GPT-2 models in generating Arabic praise poems. The results of all models were evaluated using BLEU scores and human evaluation. The results of both BLEU scores and human evaluation show that the Markov-LSTM has outperformed both LSTM and GPT-2, where the character-based LSTM model gave the lowest yields in terms of meaning due to its tendency to create unknown words.

An improved finite element model for vibration and control simulation of smart composite structures with embedded piezoelectric sensor and actuator
Authors:   , Kekana Marino
Published: September 2021

This thesis details a study conducted to investigate the dynamic stability of an existing active control model (ACFl) of a composite structure embedded with a piezoelectric sensor and actuator for the purpose of vibration measurement and control. Criteria for stability are established based on the second method of Lyapunov which considers the energy of the system. Results show that ACFl is asymptotically stable although piezoelectric control effects persist when the feedback gain is set to zero. Meanwhile, it is required that there should be no control effects occurring through the piezoelectric actuator when the gain is set to zero. In this study, a new active control model (ACF2) is developed to satisfy the stability criteria, which satisfies the requirement of no piezoelectric control effects when the gain is set to zero. In ACF2 - as well as ACFl - the displacement and potential fields are discretised using the finite element method. In light of the locking phenomena associated with discrete displacements - which is expected to be pronounced in the case of discrete potentials due to their element geometry, ACF2-mixed is developed. ACF2 and ACF2-mixed control methodologies are similar except that in ACF2 both the displacement and potential field are discretised whereas in ACF2-mixed, only the displacement field is discretised and the potential field is continuous. Consequent to ACF2 and ACF2-mixed, stability analysis of the resulting time integration scheme is investigated as well. The results show that the damping forces due to the piezoelectric effect do not add energy to the structure. Hence, asymptotic stability is achieved. The time integration scheme yielded a small error, consistent with the literature. Numerical results revealed that ACFl exhibits a high degree of locking which is relaxed in ACF2 whereas ACF2-mixed exhibits envisaged results when compared with the other two models. Therefore, the ACF2 and ACF2-mixed will provide engineers with an alternative simulation model to solve actively controlled vibration problems hitherto.

Abstract. Based on the first measurements of gas-phase pyruvic acid (CH3C(O)C(O)OH) in the boreal forest, we derive effective emission rates of pyruvic acid and compare them with monoterpene emission rates over the diel cycle. Using a data-constrained box model, we determine the impact of pyruvic acid photolysis on the formation of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and the peroxy radicals CH3C(O)O2 and HO2 during an autumn campaign in the boreal forest. The results are dependent on the quantum yield (φ) and mechanism of the photodissociation of pyruvic acid and the fate of a likely major
product, methylhydroxy carbene (CH3COH). With the box model, we investigate two different scenarios in which we follow the present IUPAC (IUPAC Task Group on Atmospheric Chemical Kinetic Data Evaluation, 2021) recommendations with φ = 0.2 (at 1 bar of air), and the main photolysis products (60 %) are acetaldehyde + CO2 with 35 % C–C bond fission to form HOCO and CH3CO (scenario A). In the second scenario (B), the formation of vibrationally hot CH3COH (and CO2) represents the main dissociation pathway at longer wavelengths (∼ 75 %) with a ∼ 25 % contribution from C–C bond fission to form HOCO and CH3CO (at shorter wavelengths). In scenario 2 we vary φ between 0.2 and 1 and, based on the results of our theoretical calculations, allow the thermalized CH3COH to react with O2 (forming peroxy radicals) and to undergo acid-catalysed isomerization to CH3CHO. When constraining the pyruvic acid to measured mixing ratios and independent of the model scenario, we find that the photolysis of pyruvic acid is the dominant source of CH3CHO with a contribution between ∼ 70 % and 90 % to the total production rate. We find that the photolysis of pyruvic acid is also a major source of the acetylperoxy radical, with contributions varying between ∼ 20 % and 60 % dependent on the choice of φ and the products formed. HO2 production rates are also enhanced, mainly via the formation of CH3O2. The elevated production rates of CH3C(O)O2 and HO2 and concentration of CH3CHO result in significant increases in the modelled mixing ratios of CH3C(O)OOH, CH3OOH, HCHO, and H2O2.

Abstract. A total of 22 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 29 oxy-PAHs, and 35 nitro-PAHs (polycyclic aromatic
compounds, PACs) were measured in gaseous and particulate phases in the
ambient air of Longyearbyen, the most populated settlement in Svalbard, the
European Arctic. The sampling campaign started in the polar night in November
2017 and lasted for 8 months until June 2018, when a light cycle reached a
sunlit period with no night. The transport regimes of the near-surface,
potentially polluted air masses from midlatitudes to the Arctic and the
polar boundary layer meteorology were studied. The data analysis showed the
observed winter PAC levels were mainly influenced by the lower-latitude
sources in northwestern Eurasia, while local emissions dominated in spring
and summer. The highest PAC concentrations observed in spring, with PAH
concentrations a factor of 30 higher compared to the measurements at the
closest background station in Svalbard (Zeppelin, 115 km distance from
Longyearbyen), were attributed to local snowmobile-driving emissions. The
lowest PAC concentrations were expected in summer due to enhanced
photochemical degradation under the 24 h midnight sun conditions and
inhibited long-range atmospheric transport. In contrast, the measured summer
concentrations were notably higher than those in winter due to the harbour
(ship) emissions.

Abstract. Solar radiation is one of the main factors which introduce significant deviations between thermometers reading and true air temperature value. Techniques to protect the sensors from direct radiative
influence have been adopted almost since the beginning of meteorological
observations. Reflected radiation from a snow-covered surface can also cause extra warming to thermometers hosted in solar shields, which are not always optimised to protect the sensors from this further radiative heat transfer. This phenomenon can cause errors in near-surface temperature measurements results, with a relevant impact on the quality of data records and series. This study experimentally evaluates the effect of reflected
radiation from a snow-covered surface on the accuracy of air temperature
measurements. The investigation is based on the evaluation of temperature
differences between pairs of identical instruments, positioned above ground
covered by natural vegetation, with one instrument in snow-free conditions and the other above a snow-covered surface, at the same time and at the same site. The work involved a representative number of sensors and shields, in terms of different typologies, technologies and engineering solutions, from different manufacturers. A mountain site with acceptable field conditions, offering long-lasting snow presence to maximise data availability, was selected to perform the experiment. Quantities of influence, such as relative humidity, wind speed and direction and solar radiation (global and reflected), were constantly measured. The main findings of this work show that none of the involved instruments were immune to the extra heating due to the snow-reflected radiation. Excluding nighttimes and days of high wind or low incident radiation, the differences among sensors positioned above natural soil and identical ones exposed to snow albedo ranged up to more than 3 ∘C. Solar screens with forced ventilation showed a partially reduced effect compared to most of the naturally ventilated ones. A full data analysis is reported here, together with complete results and uncertainties.

Abstract. A new compact static wind imaging interferometer, called
the Birefringent Doppler Wind Imaging Interferometer (BIDWIN), has been
developed for the purpose of observing upper atmospheric winds using
suitably isolated airglow emissions. The instrument combines a field-widened
birefringent delay plate placed between two crossed Wollaston prisms with an
imaging system, waveplates and polarizers to produce four fixed 90∘
phase-stepped images of the interference fringes conjugate to the scene of
interest. A four-point algorithm is used to extract line-of-sight Doppler
wind measurements across the image of the scene. The arrangement provides a
similar throughput to that of a field-widened Michelson interferometer;
however, the interferometric component of BIDWIN is smaller, simpler to
assemble and less complicated to operate. Consequently, the instrument
provides a compact, lightweight and robust alternative that can be
constructed and operated with lower cost. In this paper, the instrument
concept is presented, and the design and optimization of a prototype version
of the instrument are discussed. Characterization of the lab prototype is
presented, and the performance of the instrument is examined by applying the
instrument to measure a low-velocity two-dimensional Doppler wind field with
a high precision (5 m s−1) in the lab.
