ASEAN region consists of the greatest number of motorcycle-related accidents with severe and fatal casualties in Asia. Limited or blocked rearward visibility of vehicles has long been viewed as one of the causes of motorcycle accident. In this study, the rearward visibility of sixteen passenger vehicles have been assessed and analyzed using a new assessment based on some aspects of ECE46 and FMVSS III international protocols for Class I (internal rearview mirror) and Class III (side-view mirror). A novel scoring system based on the average width of underbone-type motorcycles in Malaysia and Indonesia is proposed to highlight the importance of rearward visibility towards the conspicuity of motorcycles. The results of the assessment show that there are two distinct vehicle groups in terms of rearward visibility: pick-up trucks and non-pickup vehicles. Pick-up trucks tend to have more prominent rearward visibility for CLASS I and III due to its bigger mirror, windscreen and body structure.Keywords: Rearward visibility, vehicle visibility assessment, ECE46, FMVSS III
A REVIEW ON DESIGN OF CRUDE OIL PIPELINE WALL OPTIMIZATION DUE TO CORROSION AND HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT
Authors: Aljneibi Hamdan H. , Dol Sharul S.
Published: February 2024

Crude oil pipeline infrastructures represent a high capital investment, and pipelines must be free from the risk of degradation due to corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement, which could cause environmental hazards and potential threats to human life. Pipeline integrity design, monitoring, and management become crucial, especially in subsea pipelines. Corrosion risk assessment is necessary to track pipeline reliability and life prediction effectively. The pipeline inspections cost a lot of money since the pipeline are hundreds of thousands of kilometres, and the maintenance process interrupts the production rates. Moreover, this cost will triple for the subsea pipeline as it requires special personal qualifications and tools, causing the oil and gas company to pay millions for frequent checks. It is proposed to utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modelling technique and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to optimize the design and preventive maintenance prediction. Hence this paper aims to review the current work on this pipeline design problem, especially in the Tropical region, and discuss the factors that cause the deterioration of structural properties due to the presence of hydrogen within the crude oil.

Vision impairment and blindness are significant health conditions that affect a considerable portion of the global population and have significant consequences, particularly in developed nations. Its harmful consequences can have a negative influence on a person's personal quality of life, as well as limit their ability to live independently. Navigation plays a crucial role in the activities that are impacted by vision loss. This is because it is almost impossible for the individual to move safely and independently. The goal of this project is to improve mobility for visually impaired people by employing Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors to identify obstacles and alert users via haptic feedback if there are potential obstacles in their way. In addition, this study compares two sensors, LiDAR and ultrasonic sensors, besides the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT), which was integrated into the small, portable robot by pairing a mobile phone. This is to ensure the user may be securely guided to their destination. I-Walk is a mobile app with a voice user interface (VUI) for GPS navigation systems and emergency calling. This app has been developed to allow users safe and independent travel. The simulation result shows that even though ultrasonic sensors are cheaper and serve the same function as LiDAR, their huge standard deviation and percentage error shown in this study cannot equal LiDAR's accuracy in which LiDAR has an average error of 0.63%. In contrast, ultrasonic sensors have an average error of 2.39%. Overall, this obstacle detection and navigation system comprises robust hardware and software to assist visually impaired people effectively.Keywords: Assistive technology, blind, mini guider robot, obstacle detection, navigation, IoT

EXTRACTIVE DESULFURIZATION OF FUEL OIL USING GLYCOL-BASED DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENT MEDIATED BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND GRAPHENE OXIDE
Authors: Majid Mohd. Faridzuan , Mohd Zaid Hayyiratul Fatimah
Published: February 2024

Sulfur-containing compounds in fuel oil is one of the major pollutants that contributes to air pollution. To solve this issue, separation of sulfurs is crucial to produce ultra-clean fuel oil according to Euro V standard. Conventional method uses hydrodesulfurization to separate sulfur, however the system requires harsh conditions to operate in a separation unit. Morever, it is inefficient to remove sterically hindered sulfur compounds such as dibenzothiophene, benzothiophene and 4, 6-dimethyldibenzothiophene. An alternative to the current technology is using integrated extractive and catalytic-oxidative desulfurization. Many researchers has attempted to use ionic liquid as the extractant, however due to its complexity of synthesis and expensive starting material, the analogue of ionic liquid which is deep eutectic solvent (DES) could be a promising candidate to desulfurize fuel oil. In this work, four types of glycol-based DES (glycerol, ethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol and poly(ethylene glycol) 400 (PEG)) with tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC) as salt have been synthesized in different mole ratios to study the effect of glycols towards desulfurization efficiency. Higher desulfurization can be achieved when using DES compared to glycol itself as solvent due to the synergistic effect of salt and glycols. The performance of desulfurization can reach as high as 66.24% when using TBAC:PEG in 1:2 mole ratio in ambient condition in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and graphene oxide as catalyst. The hydrogen peroxide helps to oxidize dibenzothiphene into high polar dibenzothiophene sulfone so that it be easily extracted into the layer of DES and the process is mediated by the graphene oxide. The main reason for the enhanced performance is longer repeating ethoxy chains of polyethylene glycol which favoured the oxidized sulfur species to be extracted.

Published: February 2024

In Asia, with increasing pressure to meet environmental Diesel Euro 5 fuel specifications, older refineries have the choice of upgrading their plants to prepare for this change. Changes that have to be thought off are not limited to the technology to be selected. Still, the more complex issues would be the brownfield elements, plot constraints, utilities, and offsite constraints. Older refineries will face a dilemma in meeting the more current design standards, especially those related to safety. Another key consideration is to scope the project’s boundary, which has to be considered is the brownfield process unit limitations. The obsolete plant documents are also another challenge. Test run data has to be obtained to define the plant’s current performance and determine the current efficiencies of the equipment instead of assuming the equipment as new. This report provides insight into the challenges faced in designing old plants to meet Euro 5 requirements.
HOT AIR RECIRCULATION (HAR) DIGITAL 1.0 – IMPROVING EFFICIENCY OF LNG PLANTS USING AI AND IOT
Authors: Harun Zalina , Kayat Zainab , A Hamid Fadillah , Zainal Abidin Shahrul Azman
Published: February 2024

PETRONAS (PETRONAS Research, Group Technical Solution and LNG Plant), in collaboration with JGC Corporation (Japan), developed a predictive algorithm-based application named HAR Digital 1.0 that utilises Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The system provides real-time weather data prediction to forecast power margin setting for gas turbine and allow the plant to maintain stable operation with the opportunity to increase LNG production. Hot air recirculation (HAR) is a phenomenon that affects air-cooled LNG plants due to its geographical location, in which the hot air from air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHE) flows back into the ACHE intake or the intake of other equipment such as the gas turbine (GT). This reduces the turbine helper motor power margin availability, hence forces higher power requirements to the gas turbines, making the operation energy inefficient, exposes them to instability, and subsequently may cause plant trip. To date, there is no accurate method to predict the occurrence of HAR that could allow the plant’s advanced process control (APC) to adjust the power margin setting to optimise GT operation. This innovation uses Real-Time Qualified Plant Data and Predictive Data Analytics to provide Forecasted Temperature and Power Margin Set Limit to allow for early ACHE/GT temperature prediction. This will assist APC in power margin setting, which allows the plant to use any available power margin to boost LNG production safely and reduces process fluctuation. A solid and compelling economic case is confirmed from the economic evaluation conducted based on the new power margin value. The production increase is estimated to translate to more than MYR 12 million per annum for two LNG trains.

Published: February 2024

The main purposes of this study are to explore the extent to which public Jordanian universities have adopted Human Resource Information System (HR PLANNING) and to examine the current HR PLANNING uses, benefits and barriers in these universities. A structured questionnaire was constructed based on other previous studies, it also pre-tested, modified and translated to capture data from HR PLANNING users in Jordanian universities. The main findings of this study reveled that the quick response and access to information were the main benefits of HR PLANNING implementation. While, the insufficient financial support; difficulty in changing the organization’s culture and lack of commitment from top managers were the main HR PLANNING implementation barriers. The present study provides some insights into the performance and applications of HR PLANNING in Jordanian universities that could help Human Resource Management (HRM) practitioners to get a better understanding of the current HR PLANNING uses, benefits and problems, which in turn, will improve the effectiveness of HR PLANNING

Scholars in many disciplines have considered the antecedents and consequences of various forms of trust. This paper generates 11 propositions exploring the relationship between Human Resource Information Systems (HR PLANNING) and the trust an individual places in the inanimate technology (technology trust) and models the effect of those relationships on HR PLANNING implementation success. Specifically, organizational, technological, and user factors are considered and modeled to generate a set of testable propositions that can subsequently be investigated in various organizational settings. Eleven propositions are offered suggesting that organizational trust, pooled interdependence, organizational community, organizational culture, technology adoption, technology utility, technology usability, socialization, sensitivity to privacy, and predisposition to trust influence an individual’s level of trust in the HR PLANNING technology (technology trust) and ultimately the success of an HR PLANNING implementation process. A summary of the relationships between the key constructs in the model and recommendations for future research are provided.

Authors: Díaz-Martínez José Rodolfo , Martínez-Velázquez Eduardo Salvador , Rojas-Solís José Luis
Published: February 2024

La dependencia emocional es una necesidad extrema de la pareja sentimental que puede involucrar un patrón cognitivo distorsionado y exigencias sobre la pareja. Algunos autores han sugerido que puede tener relación con síntomas depresivos (Román, 2011; Sanathara et al.,2003). La presente investigación pretende conocer la relación entre depresión y dependencia emocional en personas mexicanas dentro de una relación de pareja monogámica. Participaron 178 personas (119 mujeres y 59 hombres), con una edad promedio de 32.5 (DE= 10.6). Se aplicó el Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI-II) y el Cuestionario de Dependencia Emocional adaptada para población mexicana (CDE). Los resultados indicaron una relación positiva entre las variables (rs=0.411), aunque la dimensión “Expresiones límite” del CDE se presentó sólo en mujeres. Estas diferencias podrían estar influidas por la cultura y la educación, por lo que futuros estudios podrían centrarse en tales variables.

Coping Styles and its Relationship with Psychological Distress in CamEd Students
Authors: Cornet Adriaan
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze coping strategies and its effect on psychological distress amongst students of CamEd Business School. A literature review was conducted to review commonly used coping strategies, their effects on psychological distress and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on experienced psychological distress. The study measured psychological distress and the use of coping strategies of 401 respondents from CamEd business school using the perceived stress scale and Brief-COPE. Current experienced psychological distress in this population was found to be significantly higher compared with the norm group (M = 14.2), t(400) = 29.579, p = .000. Regarding coping styles this study found that Problem focused coping was most used in this population (M = 2.69), followed by Emotional focused coping (M = 2.42) and then Avoidant coping (M = 2.08). No significant relationships were found between any of the three copings styles and psychological distress. Findings of elevated psychological distress are in line with the raise in mental health problems globally since the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings regarding coping styles suggest the cultural differences between collectivistic and individualistic cultures regarding used coping styles and its effect on psychological distress. These findings support the growing evidence of people from collectivistic cultures having different coping strategies and interactions with psychological distress compared with individualistic cultures.

Jumpstarting Ethno-Philosophy in Context: Ethics Discourse on Gawis ya Ngawi
Authors: Placido Dennis M.
Published: February 2024

Ethnicity relates to the descriptive evaluation of culture, and when examined through a philosophical lens, it becomes ethno-philosophy. Any attempt to understand the complexities of human existence is an ongoing endeavor. Any notion of goodness and badness must emanate from a cultural milieu. Scrutinizing these concepts must be rooted in existentialism, as all experiences are continually interpreted lived experiences.. The phenomena of Gawis ya Ngawi from linguistic Kankanaey terms refer to mean good and bad. In context, the Kankanaey term “Gawis” literally expresses good things in life or well-being of the person and “Ngawi” illustrates the opposite dimensions of life; however, such distinctions evoke query regarding ethical discourse. This paper analyzes the nuances of the interpreted experiences of Gawis ya Ngawi and presents its possible ethical discourses within hermeneutics of appreciation and few implications in linguistic interpretations. Jumpstarting to interpret culture via ethical discourse opens up the need of contextualization. In the realm of human existence is human culture, a topic where philosophy continues to respect especially speaking about indigeneity. In philosophy, indigeneity promotes cultural reverence. This respect for cultural uniqueness necessitates a balance between philosophy and culture, continually redefining the relationship.

From No Man’s Land to Promise Land: Narratives on Destigmatizing Marag Valley’s Catastrophic War
Authors: Ocampo Ronald O. , Bascos-Ocampo Rema
Published: February 2024

In this study, the focus was on exploring the narratives of Marag Valley residents and how they undertook the challenging task of destigmatizing the aftermath of the catastrophic war following the occupation of the Communist Party of the Philippines- New Peaples’ Army (CPP-NPA.) Employing a qualitative research design with a specific emphasis on the narrative method, the research delved into the firsthand accounts and experiences of eight local participants. These participants, predominantly leaders within various sectors across the three barangays in Marag Valley, provided invaluable insights into the strategies and mechanisms they employed to destigmatize the war’s impact. The analysis of the narratives led to the identification of eight prominent sub-themes that encapsulated the multifaceted nature of the destigmatization process. These sub-themes included the effectiveness of government peace agreements, the role of government interventions, the significance of inter-agency collaboration, the creation of a positive community image, the emphasis on the value of education, the utilization of Marag Valley as a tourist destination, the incorporation of ethical values, and the influential role of social media promotion. The findings underscored the interconnectedness of various factors contributing to the destigmatization efforts, emphasizing not only governmental and institutional initiatives but also the pivotal role played by community values, education, and media in reshaping the narrative surrounding the war’s aftermath in Marag Valley. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, community leaders, and researchers interested in understanding the dynamics of post-conflict recovery and community resilience.

Le portrait de territoire entre presse et livre
Authors: Reverseau Anne
Published: February 2024

Dans l’entre-deux-guerres, le genre éditorial du portrait de pays est encore en voie de constitution : il se cherche entre le reportage, la presse illustrée, l’écriture sérielle et le beau livre. Pour comprendre ce qui se joue entre les années 1920 et les années 1960, âge d’or de cette vogue éditoriale, et en particulier l’hybridation du portrait de territoire entre presse et livre, la trajectoire de Pierre Mac Orlan, écrivain polygraphe typique de cette époque, est idéale. L’article se penche sur la généalogie et les métamorphoses de ses écrits circonstanciels géographiques, comme ses textes sur la Tunisie, la Belgique, la Bretagne, Londres ou Hambourg, réunis dès 1929 dans Villes, sous-titré « Mémoires », ou encore Les Pays-Bas, livre photographique de 1965.
Impacto de la Ley de Cadena Alimentaria en las cooperativas agrarias españolas
Authors: García Companys Anna
Published: February 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es valorar el régimen jurídico de la normativa de cadena alimentaria que se aplica a las cooperativas agrarias españolas. Desde 2013 contamos con una ley que ha ido evolucionando y modificándose, siendo de especial interés para el sujeto de nuestro estudio la última modificación de 2021. Como se verá, la norma ha pasado de excluir completamente del régimen contractual de la ley a las relaciones internas de los socios con su cooperativa a una dispensa parcial, con un régimen especial para la formalización de estas relaciones. Es por ello que trataremos de exponer el papel de las cooperativas agrarias y las obligaciones a las que están sujetas de acuerdo con la vigente normativa de cadena alimentaria, sobre todo en materia de contratación, incidiendo en aquellos aspectos que pueden suscitar conflictos societarios o bien una posición de desventaja competitiva respecto a otros operadores.
The need and prerequisites for conducting an unaccountable form of VAT calculation
Authors: Palamarchuk Oleg Olegovich
Published: February 2024

The article discusses the prerequisites for the creation of a new concept of VAT calculation based on the transfer of the function of calculating VAT to tax authorities through invoices, with the simultaneous cancellation of tax reporting on this tax. This concept implies that sellers issue invoices in electronic form through an electronic document management operator, who will transfer them to the tax authorities for their calculation of tax and billing to the taxpayer for payment. This approach will eliminate the need for businesses to comply with frequently changing tax laws and reduce the risks of tax evasion. The topic of the article is relevant because the current concept of the procedure for calculating and declaring taxes was introduced in the last century and is aimed at self-calculation of taxes by the taxpayer with subsequent preparation and filing of tax returns. However, modern conditions raise the issue of effective tax calculation in a new way and allows shifting these functions to fiscal authorities. The purpose of the study is to determine the readiness of the current situation for the introduction of a new concept of VAT calculation, the subject is the current VAT calculation mechanism. This work has practical significance, which consists in the potential introduction of a new concept of tax calculation. Before considering the issue outlined in this article, it is necessary to understand the conceptual apparatus, however, the study of tax terms does not relate to the topic of this work, which is why it will not be given. Therefore, for the purposes of this article, the calculation and procedure for calculating taxes means a set of actions of a taxpayer (or a tax authority in the case of transfer of such a function to it) to determine the amount of tax due to the budget.

Low-grade glioma (LGG), a common primary tumor, mainly originates from astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Increasing evidence has shown that peroxisomes function in the regulation of tumorigenesis and development of cancer. However, the prognostic value of peroxisome-related genes (PRGs) in LGG has not been reported. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a prognostic risk model for LGG patients based on the expression profiles of peroxisome-related genes. Our study mainly concentrated on developing a peroxisome-related gene signature for overall survival (OS) prediction in LGG patients. First, according to these peroxisome-related genes, all LGG patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database could be divided into two subtypes. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to find prognostic peroxisome-related genes in TCGA_LGG dataset, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression analysis was employed to establish a 14-gene signature. The risk score based on the signature was positively associated with unfavorable prognosis. Then, multivariate Cox regression incorporating additional clinical characteristics showed that the 14-gene signature was an independent predictor of LGG. Time-dependent ROC curves revealed good performance of this prognostic signature in LGG patients. The performance about predicting OS of LGG was validated using the GSE107850 dataset derived from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Furethermore, we constructed a nomogram model based on the gene signature and age, which showed a better prognostic power. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encylopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses showed that neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and phagosome were enriched and that the immune status was decreased in the high-risk group. Finally, cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) were used to detect cell proliferation of U251 and A172 cells. Inhibition of ATAD1 (ATPase family AAA domain-containing 1) and ACBD5 (Acyl-CoA binding-domain-containing-5) expression led to significant inhibition of U251 and A172 cell proliferation. Flow cytometry detection showed that ATAD1 and ACBD5 could induce apoptosis of U251 and A172 cells. Therefore, through bioinformatics methods and cell experiments, our study developed a new peroxisome-related gene signature that migh t help improve personalized OS prediction in LGG patients.
