Privacy is one of the major concerns of data protection where personal data of individuals are used by enterprises for providing services. To ensure the rights of citizens, different legal authorities, including European Union, have made it mandatory for enterprises to implement certain privacy principles. An enterprise may also have its own set of privacy principles that help provide customized privacy experience to its customers, with the motive of retaining its customer base and weaning away customers from its competitors. To ensure privacy compliance with legal policies, enterprise privacy principles and expectations of customers, the system design should consider the privacy requirements emanating from all these sources. However, the requirements are often expressed in natural languages, which are difficult to interpret for system designers. In this paper, a logic-based methodology is proposed to formally express privacy requirements emanating from all three different sources. The methodology also includes an algorithm to identify and resolve conflicts among elicited privacy requirements. The proposed approach can be considered as the first step towards ensuring privacy compliance. This would help an enterprise to identify conflicting privacy requirements, resolve conflicts as per pre-defined rules and identify implementable privacy principles to enable the management of privacy compliance.

This study was done to develop a low fat fortified paneer by using different types of milks viz., whole, standardized, toned and skim milks. One sample product was prepared from each milk type among the four different types of milk and evaluation was done based on hedonic scale rating. For low fat fortified paneer preparation toned, skim milks were optimised into a raw milk base to which coagulant was added. Citric acid (2%), Glucono Delta Lactose(GDL- 0.0035%) were added at 90c to the raw milk base. Citric acid facilitate the optimum coagulation of casein micelle. GDL aids in forming softer texture which also compensates the fat losses in whey. Milk is fortified with vitamin D to enhance nutritional property.The objective is to prepare a low fat fortified paneer . The organoleptic properties were analysed by sensory testing on daily basis for evaluation of shelf life for about 10 days. Upto sixth day, the overall acceptability in all parameters like appearance, texture/body, flavour is fairly satisfactory whereas from the seventh day a slight declination was observed due to the progressive degradation of the sample. Eventually, the overall acceptability for the final day was not too negligible on hedonic scale rating. Hence, toned milk was optimized and is proximately considered for the preparation of low fat fortified paneer when compared relatively with whole, standardized and skim milks.

This paper aims to understand the assessment preference of Gen Z, a student cohort currently being served in higher learning institutions. It tends to investigate the formative assessment activities preferred by Gen Z, followed by the range of marks for each activity. It also tries to discover their preference for the proportion of mark for formative assessment as compared to final examination. Data was collected from 420 diploma students and 22 lecturers taking (and teaching) management accounting subject in a public university in Malaysia. The values of mode and the frequency were used to achieve the above objectives. In addition, the interview session with students and lecturers was also conducted to gather additional related information. The results revealed that both students and lecturers favor traditional assessment over alternative assessment. In terms of alternative assessments, unlike lecturers, students ranked activities that require higher order thinking last. Both students and lecturers also allocate the highest marks to test and quiz, while other activities are only allocated with the lower range of marks. Majority agreed with the 40:60 ratio with the higher weightage goes to the final examination. This finding somehow contradicts previous finding which suggest that Gen Z prefer coursework rather than examination. The findings of the study might help academicians in designing appropriate assessment activities in order to maximize students learning especially in the field of management accounting. However, this study was conducted on the diploma students who might have different view and perception regarding assessment as compared to bachelor’s degree students.

Since the late 1980s, we have begun to hear the word “disinterest in science”. On the other hand, recently, virtual reality (VR) technology that creates artificial environment by computer has been considerably developed. The VR is currently being utilized in various fields such as scientific visualization, medical care, education, training, tourism, and entertainment. Further it is possible to obtain an ideal environment that is difficult to realize in real space, and it is easy to change natural constants. Accordingly, we developed a prototype VR system that anyone can easily perform scientific experiments such as physics and chemistry with simple operation. In this way, this system makes it possible to perform free simulations by setting the ideal environment without the need for preparation and tidying up. Further, considering the cost burden of the user, we suggested a new system on a platform which can be easily prepared by using a smartphone. Furthermore, in this paper, we conducted a questionnaire survey to confirm the effectiveness of this system.

The article analyzes the dynamics of the indicators of the merger and acquisition market in the banking sector, as well as the indicator of revocation of banking licenses. The analysis has shown the outperformance of bank decrease in relation to bank acquisition over the same period, which indicates a significant impact of license revocation on the merger and acquisition market. The article assesses the impact of the merger and acquisition market on the structure of proportional regulation in favor of banks with universal licenses. An increase in the concentration of capital is observed, especially in banks with state participation. The article investigates the methods of calculating the cost of mergers and acquisitions. The authors propose to add two more factors to the already known factors of change in earnings per share due to mergers and acquisitions: the type of license revoked by the regulator as a result of the rehabilitation and goodwill, which should be considered in the merger cost using additional coefficients. This will allow the merger cost to be more accurately determined and provide the investor with additional information for decision-making.

Regression testing is a necessary maintenance activity in the software industry where modified software programs are revalidated to make sure that changes do not adversely affect their behavior. Test case prioritization (TCP) is one of the most effective methods in regression testing whereby test cases are rescheduled in an appropriate order for execution to increase test effectiveness in meeting some performance goals such as increasing the rate of fault detection. This paper explores efforts that have been carried out in relation to TCP frameworks. Through the review of related literature, ten existing frameworks were identified, classified and reviewed whereby two are Bayesian network-based, five are multi-objective, while the rest are varied in terms of aspects and purposes. Accordingly, this study analyzes those frameworks based on their proposed year, TCP factors, number of test cases used, evaluations metric and criteria as well as experimental subjects. The results showed that the stated frameworks are not integrated with nature-inspired algorithms as enhancing optimization techniques while several others were insufficiently evaluated according to stated evaluation criteria and metrics for the effective and practical testing process. There is also a scarcity of frameworks that focus on regression test efficiency. This study indicates the need for further research into the topic to enhance TCP frameworks that focus on several directions for practical considerations in this field such as evaluation issues, specific knowledge dependency, and objective deviation. At the end of this study, several future directions such as nature-inspired algorithms assistance are proposed, and a number of limitations are identified and highlighted.

Internet of Things, abbreviated as IoT is a network used mainly for the communication where different devices are connected for the retrieval, examination and execution of the necessary task. One of IoT’s biggest challenge is that, they are resource-constrained. Hence, it is essential to use an efficient data transmission protocol for routing. An effective routing protocol for static IoT network is the Routing protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL). It is essential to assess the effectiveness of the RPL with the selection of best objective function for different static model. In this paper, the performance of different routing algorithms is compared in connection with different static topologies. Hence, the objective function’s performance is compared for different topologies i.e., Butterfly, Ring and Umbrella topologies. We consider two objective functions: namely Minimum Rank with Hysteresis Objective Function (MRHOF) and Objective Function Zero (OF0). MRHOF considers Expected Transmission Count (ETX) as its metric and the metric considered under OF0 is hop count. It is observed that the objective function OF0 performs better than MRHOF for the metric of energy and successful receiving of data.

In the view of performance improvement in machine learning algorithms it is essential to feed them with relevant features. Feature selection is one of the evident process followed by most of the learning algorithms for choosing the relevant features towards reducing the dimensionality of the dataset as well as to improve the classification accuracy. Among various feature selection techniques, Rough Set Theory (RST) has its own major contributions to feature selection domain. However, the conventional rough set based feature selection procedure makes binary decision on either marking an attribute as relevant or irrelevant.The fuzzy based Rough Set could resolve this problem by finding the relevancy by using membership values, however, this method is unable to identify the boundary or range of an attribute value which is appropriate for classification. The idea of feature selection is inappropriate when specific range of an attribute value represents a decision variable while seems to be irrelevant when it’s complete range is considered. This research work focuses on choosing relevant features for the problem of driver inattention detection. The features extracted for the focused problem are real numbers, hence the Neighborhood Rough Set (NRS) model is followed here rather than conventional Rough Set(RS) approach. In this paper, a Range specific Neighborhood Rough Set (RNRS) based feature selection is proposed for more accurate feature selection for the application of detecting driver’s inattention problem. The experiments are carried out with three real time driver datasets and the results are reported to prove the significance of the proposed RNRS based feature selection. Two learning algorithms, namely K-nearest neighbors and support vector machines are usedto evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. Theresults show that the proposed algorithm can significantlyimprove the classification performance.

Knowledge Visualization using graphical structure is a field in which the researchers have a strong influence on comprehensibility. Based on the information provided by the users, the knowledge is created. By mapping the logic generated based on the knowledge, we have created a new graphical structure using Cypher Query Language that shows the connectivity between each concept and their relationship. These knowledge visualization techniques are mainly suitable in finding the outcome of a situation and also in discovering new knowledge from the existing or by adding new information. An automated code is generated to build the graph structure for visualization in Neo4j. The reduction in content size and graphical structure helps the user to easily gain knowledge about the system.

Data Quality, Database Testing, and ETL Testing are all different techniques for testing Data Warehouse Environment. Testing the data became very important as it should be guaranteed that the data is accurate for further manipulation and decision making. A lot of approaches and tools came up supporting and defining the test cases to be used, their functionality, and if they could be automated or not. The most trending approach was the automating of testing data warehouse using tools, the tools started firstly by supporting only the automation of running the scripts helping the developers to write the test case just once and run it multiple times, then the tools developed and modified to automate the creation of the testing scripts and offer their service as a complete application that supports the creation and running of the test cases claiming that the user can work without the need of expertise and high technicality and just by being an end user using the tool’s GUI. Banking sector differs completely than any other industry, as data warehouse in banking sectors collects data from multiple sources and multiple branches with different data formats, and quality that should then be transformed and loaded in the data warehouse and classified into some data marts to be used in different dashboards and projects that depend on high quality and accurate data for further decision making and predictions. In this paper we propose a strategy for data warehouse testing, that automates all the test cases needed in banking environment

In order to improve the health care reach, we need efficient and fast computer aided simulation processes or algorithms. When some change is found in pathological reports and biomedical quantities, the person is susceptible to diseases. If the diseases are detected earlier then there can be increase in the rate of mortality. Tumor is one such disease which has been seen to be one of the most fatal for human beings. Detecting and removing tumor is big challenge for medical practitioners. Medical image processing can be used through cellular automata has proven to be one of the fast and reliable method for detection of tumor cells. To study the capabilities of medical science CA’s are being used extensively, as they are useful in studying the self-reproducing biological systems. Purpose: This paper presents an algorithm for segmentation of MRI image through cellular automata, using Conway’s Game of Life. A new approach is being used in this paper, first the image is converted into gray level image. Then edge detection is done for this image using Game of Life. This edge detected image is overlapped with the gray scale image to get the resulted segmented image as an output. Materials and Methods: In order to run the proposed algorithm MATLAB2019b is used and the images are obtained. Results: Algorithm was used on different MRI’s and the results were taken.

Vitex negundo has been known since ancient times as a medicinal plant. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of methanol and ethanol extracts, and ethyl acetate, chloroform and aqueous fractions of Vitex negundo using an in vitro model to test glucose diffusion and to determine the phytochemical profile of the extracts and fractions using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The chloroform fractions, ethyl acetate-EtOH and ethyl acetate-MeOH gave the highest inhibitory effect on both the diffusion activities in vitro. Retardation of glucose diffusion suggests that

negundo has the potential to lower postprandial glucose. Correlation analysis of the 13C NMR profile with retardation activity suggests that compounds containing glycosidic residues may be responsible for the glucose retardation activity. This is the first example where activity has been correlated with specific structural features of compounds from a crude extract using 13C NMR chemical shifts to assist in the identification of active compounds.
THE EFFECT OF STORE ATMOSPHERE ON THE STUDENTS’ PURCHASE INTENTION UNIVERSITAS KLABAT
Authors: Wahongan Moody
Published: December 2019

This study focused on the effect of store atmosphere (i.e. lighting, color, music, and scent) on the purchase intention of the Principles of Management students at Universitas Klabat and which of the four independent variables was significant and had the strongest effect on the students’ purchase intention.   This study was descriptive-correlative and used quantitative data. The number of respondents was 251 consisting of 96 male students and 155 female students. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling, and to collect the data, the researcher used a questionnaire. Based on the techniques of linear regression and multiple regression, the results showed that, simultaneously,  lighting, color, music, and scent affected the purchase intention of the students; however, only music and scent had significant effect on the students’ purchase intention. The result also showed that scent had the strongest effect on the students’ purchase intention. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the increase and decrease of the students’ purchase intention do not depend on lighting and color; instead, they depend on music and especially on scent.
