Published: May 2024

In today's digital age, the use of information technology (IT) has become commonplace in many aspects of life, including in education. This study deals with the use of IT as a tool for revitalizing religious learning in madrasah with the aim of improving the effectiveness and quality of teaching learning processes. In the context of the madrasah, religious learning is often considered monotonous and less attractive, so the use of IT is expected to enrich teaching methods and expand students' access to diverse learning resources. This research uses literary methods by searching for references in accordance with the context of the research. Research results show that IT has great potential in supporting more interactive and enjoyable learning. Some examples of successful IT implementations include the use of interactive learning applications, social media for learning discussions, the creation of digital content such as educational videos and podcasts, and the implementation of Learning Management System (LMS) to facilitate student progress tracking. However, the study also identified barriers, such as infrastructure constraints, lack of training for teachers, and resistance to change on some sides. To overcome these obstacles, joint efforts between educational institutions, governments, and communities are needed to improve the availability of facilities, as well as conduct a comprehensive teacher training programme in the use of IT. Therefore, with adequate support and mature planning, IT can be a powerful tool in revitalizing religious learning in the madrasah, thereby producing a more dynamic, interactive, and adapted learning process

The training and professional development of teachers is identified as a key factor in the successful implementation of technology, with adequate technological infrastructure as an essential prerequisite. The integration of curricula with digital resources and the implementation of technology-supported project-based learning strategies has proven to enhance student engagement and deepen their understanding of the subject matter. However, challenges such as limited access to technological resources, lack of effective teacher training, and resistance to change in traditional learning practices are also identified as obstacles to be overcome.
Triskaidekaphobia: The Role of the Dreaded 13th Floor in Shaping Investment Preferences in the Indian Residential Real Estate Market
Authors: Patra Ratan Kumar , Patro Y. Soma Shekhar
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the influence of triskaidekaphobia, the fear of the number 13, on investment preferences in the Indian residential real estate market, specifically examining attitudes towards properties on the 13th floor in high-rise buildings. Originating in Western cultures, triskaidekaphobia has transcended cultural boundaries, influencing the Indian market, which is traditionally shaped by a blend of cultural, religious, and socio-economic factors, including beliefs like Vastu Shastra. Using a quantitative research methodology, the study surveyed 500 participants from various demographic backgrounds across India. The findings reveal a significant awareness of triskaidekaphobia among the respondents, with a majority strongly believing in this superstition. This belief translates into a considerable reluctance to invest in properties on the 13th floor, with many respondents and potential developers expressing a preference to exclude or rename this floor. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, indicate a negative relationship between belief in triskaidekaphobia and willingness to invest in the 13th floor. These findings suggest that triskaidekaphobia significantly influences real estate investment decisions in India, reflecting the deep-rooted impact of cultural beliefs on economic behaviors. The study contributes to the understanding of cultural influences in the real estate market and offers insights for real estate developers, urban planners, and policymakers. It highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity in business strategies and the need to consider local beliefs and superstitions in market analyses. The research suggests that addressing the irrational basis of triskaidekaphobia through investor education could open new market opportunities and promote more rational investment choices.

Authors: Mallick Soumya Ranjan , Mishra Manoj Kumar
Published: May 2024

Fly ash is a major byproduct of coal combustion. Fly ash often causes disposal problems and environmental pollution. This paper presents detailed laboratory investigation carried out on clinker stabilized fly ash-mine overburden mixes to find out its suitability for sub-base of mine haul road pavements. Proctor compaction test, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) were conducted on clinker stabilized fly ash-mine overburden mixes. Clinker content in the mixture varied between 2%–6% and mine overburden content varied between 10%– 40%. Test results showed that an increase in mine overburden content in the mixture resulted in increase of Maximum Dry Density (MDD) of the compacted mixture. An increase in percentage of clinker in the fly ash-mine overburden mixes increased enormously the CBR and Young’s modulus values. Keywords: CBR, UCS, Young’s modulus, SEM, fly ash, mine overburden

Bacteriophages are viruses with a simple structure that attack and kill bacteria, but like other more complex relatives they are perfect parasites that survive by infecting a host, in their case bacteria. Bacteriophages are among the most common and diverse organisms in the biosphere, ubiquitous where there are also bacteria. Without being harmful to macroorganisms, bacteriophages can be found in ocean and sea water, soils, plants, animals, people, wastewater and food of animal origin contaminated by bacteria. It is believed that there are over 1.031 bacteriophages on earth. Currently, the expansion and intensification of the use of antibiotics has led to the increase of antibiotic resistance at the global level, and the focus of treatments on intestinal microecology has determined the intensification of research on its role in human health.

Published: May 2024

Basketball players normally use jump shots to score points during a game. The player must shoot the ball depending on their own experience that requires a long period of time to train. The player can learn faster and master the shooting skills with the assistance of video and data analysis. This paper determines the scoring effectiveness, the body posture and release angle of normal and fade–away jump shots in basketball using the biomechanics analysis. Recording devices were used to record the jump shots and the results were analysed by using several software including Wondershare Filmora, KMPlayer, Openpose, MATLAB, and Logger Pro. With the aid of biomechanics formula, MATLAB and Logger Pro software, the shooting angle, acceleration, energy, force, etc data were obtained. Results showed that the average angle of release that scored for both normal and fade-away jump shots were 59.4 and 59.5 degrees respectively. Normal jump shots had been concluded as more efficient due to 15 % higher scoring than the fade-away jump shots while they required 9.5 % less power to perform. Therefore, it was found that the improvement to the Openpose software can benefit many people. In potential future application, instead of detecting human posture, detecting objects might be a breakthrough for future application around the world.

Students may as a result fail to comprehend the fundamentals of simple machines and their applications. This research presents an innovative educational kit for simple machine learning. Students can utilize this kit to understand the fundamental concepts behind simple machines like levers, gears, and pulleys. This study investigates the creation of a simple machine kit using CAD software as a teaching tool for fundamental mechanics. A survey study is employed as part of this technique in order to ascertain audience needs and expectations. Beginning with idea generation and followed by rigorous evaluation, the process of developing the kit focuses on aligning pedagogical viability, marketability, and profitability. The selected concept is then transformed into a detailed technical drawing specifying dimensions, components, and assembly instructions, ensuring coherence between educational goals and machine learning integration. Iterative prototyping and testing further refine the kit's design, ensuring seamless interaction between machine learning elements and LEGO-based components. This approach culminates in an innovative educational kit that effectively imparts foundational machine learning principles through an engaging platform. The simple machine kit made through this research can then be utilized as an educational tool in primary, secondary, or higher education environments to facilitate students' grasp of basic mechanics. Students learning product design may find this novel approach both enjoyable and useful in their studies.

Craniosynostosis syndrome is a congenital condition occurring due to the abnormal development of the skull, leading to abnormalities in skull morphology. Apert syndrome is one of common craniosynostosis syndrome in Malaysia and this syndrome can be categorized as the severe craniofacial disorders. The abnormalities of skull morphological in Apert syndrome patient can be identified as outliers which are investigated in this study. This study presents a skull morphological analysis based on a case study involving six paediatric patients diagnosed with Apert syndrome, alongside 22 control patients aged 0 to 12 years, all of whom underwent treatment at the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC). The computerized tomography scan (CTSCAN) data is provided by UMMC recorded from year 2012 until 2020 and the data is measured using MIMICS software by taking the measurement of cranial angles. The clustering-based procedures will be applied to identify the abnormalities in skull angle dataset. There are 12 skull angles and these angles are analysed using hierarchical clustering algorithms for identifying the outliers or abnormalities. The objective is to detect the abnormalities and determine the skull angles that associated with Apert syndrome (AS) in Malaysia population using clustering-based procedure. The abnormalities in Apert syndrome datasets are successfully detected by the algorithms and this study found that there are skull angles with specific location of angles are associated with Apert syndrome. This study also found that the location of skull angles for patients age 0-24 months old and >24 months old are different. The findings of this study can assist the surgical team in directing additional focus towards specific regions of the skull during the planning of interventions. This guidance has the potential to optimize surgical outcomes and reduce the risk of potential complications.

Black phosphorus (BP), a unique arm-chair structure 2D material named for its distinctive black colour has been known to have intriguing properties include high energy storage and energy band-gap capabilities. BP is synthesized from the red phosphorus by using the ball-milling technique as an alternative to the existing complicated method which involves hazardous white phosphorus, high-temperature, and high-pressure conditions. Hence, we investigated and compared the effects of using alumina, stainless steel, and agate media on BP's physical and structural properties. The effects of milling time were performed afterward by using stainless-steel media for 1 h to 5 h. The ball-milling process at 450 rpm for 5 h in stainless steel media has transformed the coarse red powder into a dark black colour fine powder. The XRD analysis on the as-prepared powder revealed the existence of pure and crystalline black phosphorus. The Raman analysis indicated the apparent existence of BP structure synthesized. Observation of the FESEM images showed the BP existed with nanosized and flaky-shaped microstructure.

One prominent contributor to environmental degradation is the presence of heavy metal ions, which are commonly introduced into ecosystems through diverse channels, including mining operations, paint manufacturing, battery production, and agricultural practises. The unprocessed waste from these industries typically undergoes direct discharge into rivers and seas, thereby adversely influencing the potable water supply and marine ecosystem. This results in the accumulation of heavy metals within living organisms and subsequent environmental degradation that poses a significant risk to human health, as their prolonged consumption can harm various organs and the nervous system. Therefore, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have established stringent regulations regarding the allowable levels of heavy metal intake, particularly concerning potable water consumption. The imperative lies in surmounting this challenge by discovering the optimal technique for extracting heavy metals. This paper examines the primary methods of eliminating heavy metal ions using chitosan-based materials. Specifically, the methods under scrutiny include electrocoagulation (E.C.), bioremediation, ion-exchange, membrane filtration (purification), and adsorption. Adsorption, as a highly efficient method, presents itself as a viable strategy for the remediation of dyes in textile wastewater due to its advantageous characteristics. Notably, this approach obviates the need for extensive spatial requirements and exhibits a commendably swift treatment duration. Chitosan exhibits promising adsorptive characteristics owing to its advantageous physical attributes, including crystalline structure, porous nature, and particle dimensions, all of which synergistically enhance the adsorption capacity of chitosan. Research findings indicate that the adsorption characteristics of chitosan are subject to variation contingent upon the distinct heavy metal ions under consideration and the specific experimental parameters employed. Hence, optimising these parameters becomes imperative to attain enhanced chitosan adsorption capabilities for heavy metal ion removal.

This study is aimed to develop a simulation to improve the performance of the finned tube evaporator which is applied to the refrigerated display cabinet. CFD model was developed to be able to analyse the characteristics of air flow inside the fin gap and air side heat transfer coefficient. Geometry of the model of overall finned tube evaporator is considered covering two aluminium wavy fins with an air flow in between, combination of staggered cooper tubes with refrigerant flow inside. Fin gap is designed 4 mm to anticipate frost on the fin surface that can block air flow. Turbulence models used in the study is the realizable k-ε turbulence which had the best performance turbulence model and it was validated with secondary data from previous studies and shows the lowest error only 5.9 %. The use of CFD was found to be sufficiently representative of the heat transfer characteristics of evaporators, and acted as an effective simulation tool to determine the heat transfer coefficient in order to improve efficiency in terms of improved design. The characteristics of air flow between the fin gap and around the tube was obtained various and complex. In the case study the entry velocity of 1.7 m /s at the highest turbulence condition of the first row can reach speeds of 2.75 m/s. Hight turbulence regime in flow can indicate higher the heat transfer coefficient of the evaporator.
The Uncivil Sphere and Anarchist Movements: Problems of Status Quo Violence, Internationalist Militancy, and Anti-state Civil Society
Authors: Williams Dana
Published: May 2024

Jeffrey C. Alexander’s civil sphere theory makes a significant contribution to understanding how people, especially social movements, relate to society’s various institutions. Radicalism challenges the long-term stability of the civil sphere and pushes it to be more open. While capitalism and the state are considered to be uncivil institutions, the civil sphere typically tolerates their existence and negotiates with them. But, what of radical, non-state and antiauthoritarian movements that seek the abolition of all hierarchies— can they join the existing civil sphere or replace it with their own vision? This paper uses three cases studies—the Haymarket Affair, the Spanish Revolution, and Seattle’s anti-World Trade Organization protests—to interrogate non-state, anti-authoritarian, and anarchist interpretations of civil society. These cases suggest compatibilities and divergences with civil sphere theory, complicating its interpretation of violence and militancy, civil order breaching, nonstate or extra-state scope, and internationalism.
