Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a multifaceted development issue that municipal authorities face, particularly in emerging nations like Malaysia. The population’s willingness to pay was determined using a double-bounded dichotomous choice approach to obtain responses for a finance mechanism to improve SWM services in Kuala Nerus. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted on 300 households, including all the major towns and villages. According to the bid questions, most respondents (72.48%) said they would be willing to pay RM2 for solid waste management in their area, and 27.52% were not willing to pay RM2. For bid2, 65.74% of the respondents were willing to pay RM4 for the solid waste management. As a result, 30.9% of respondents stated they did not want to pay for solid waste management in their area. The survey found that when the bid was high, the respondent’s WTP value decreased from 72.48% (bid1) to 65.74% (bid2). This research adds to the body of knowledge on a key aspect of the financing mechanism, WTP, for better SWM services. The findings will benefit efforts to build a long-term finance structure for waste management services in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu.

Published: March 2024

Tension-type headaches, the most prevalent primary headaches affecting 2-5% of the population, significantly impact sufferers' well-being. These headaches present a persistent health challenge, constituting a considerable portion of neurologist outpatient visits. Effectively managing tension-type headaches remains challenging and can lead to notable morbidity if untreated. Treatment typically involves prophylactic pharmacological therapy alongside non-pharmacological interventions. Among non-medication therapies, brainwave entrainment using binaural beats emerges as a promising option for chronic headaches. This experimental research employed a pre-test and post-test design over a 5-day period (30 minutes daily) to assess Alpha Binaural Beats Auditory stimulation's impact on the QEEG pattern and pain intensity reduction in tension-type headache patients. The study, involving 32 participants, revealed a statistically significant increase in relative alpha wave power (p-value of 0.000) and a significant decrease in relative beta wave power (p-value of 0.045) after exposure to alpha binaural beats. Additionally, the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) recorded a statistically significant decrease in pain intensity (p-value of 0.000). These findings suggest that Alpha binaural beats contribute to increased alpha wave activity, decreased beta wave activity in the QEEG pattern, and a substantial reduction in pain intensity associated with tension-type headaches. However, further research is needed to explore cumulative effects and long-term sustainability in tension-type headache patients, advancing our understanding and application of this therapy.

Implementasi Fungsi Hash Dengan Algoritma Sha-256 Pada Aplikasi Duplicate Image Scanner
Authors: Ariska Nova
Published: March 2024

Nowadays we are in the era of the digital world, there are lots of equipment that has a tool for recording photos in the form of a camera on a smartphone. The weakness of smartphones is the small storage space, so users must be good at managing files stored on the smartphone. There are so many applications in smartphones that provide facilities for sharing images. This of course will greatly burden the storage space of the smartphone because it stores image files which are generally large in size, especially if the image files are the same or duplicate, of course it is very burdensome for storage space. It will be very difficult to distinguish an image file without looking at the contents of the image file. So if you want to distinguish one image file from another, the user must see the contents of the image file and this will certainly be very difficult. For that we need a method that can be used to identify the same image file or duplicate image files so that a decision can be made to delete the duplicate document files so as to save storage space. In cryptography there is a hash function which is a one-way function that can generate the identity of a file, where if the image file contains the same content, it will produce the same hash value. It can be used to identify the same or duplicate image files. In the hash function there is the SHA-256 method or the Secure Hash Algorithm 256 which is one of the hashing algorithms that is often used to encrypt data with a length of 256 bits. By applying this algorithm to the file scanner application, the results of the image file search are grouped based on the same hash value and users can make it easier and faster for users to delete duplicate image files without having to open and view the contents of the file.

In today's era, renewal is continuously carried out in order to achieve better integrity. The issuance of certificates, which are usually printed on paper, is considered to be prone to damage and loss. Along with the times, certificates are now also issued in digital form. So many people switch to using certificates in digital form. So a mechanism is needed to help secure the certificate. Digital certificates can only be issued by authorized parties. Then the competent authority issues a certificate to another person who has the right to the certificate. Of course, the authenticity of the certificate information has been secured first through the checksum function so that the message in it is encrypted. In cryptography there are many methods and algorithms that can be used, one of which is the Fletcher checksum algorithm. The aim of Fletcher is to provide error detection properties that approximate cyclic redundancy checking but with lower computational effort associated with the summation technique.

Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary or acquired cardiac disorder characterized by delayed ventricular repolarization, predisposing affected individuals to life-threatening arrhythmias. While extensively studied in the pediatric population, there is a paucity of comprehensive research focusing on the clinical implications and prognostic markers of LQTS in adults. This article aims to elucidate the association between Long QT Syndrome and the heightened risk of sudden death in adult patients, exploring pertinent clinical correlates and potential prognostic factors. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify relevant studies published between 2000 and 2024, utilizing databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library. Eligible articles were critically appraised for methodological quality and relevance to adult populations with Long QT Syndrome. Data extraction encompassed demographics, genetic predispositions, clinical presentations, electrocardiographic findings, and outcomes, focusing on the incidence of sudden death. Preliminary findings underscore the significance of a prolonged QT interval as a critical marker for adverse cardiovascular events in adults with Long QT Syndrome. Additionally, the study examines the impact of genotype-phenotype correlations, gender-related differences, and the influence of comorbidities on the risk of sudden death. Furthermore, potential therapeutic interventions and risk stratification strategies will be discussed in light of recent advancements in the field. This review aims to bridge the existing knowledge gap regarding Long QT Syndrome in the adult population, emphasizing the need for heightened clinical awareness, risk stratification, and targeted interventions to mitigate the risk of sudden death in affected individuals. The synthesis of current evidence will contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between Long QT Syndrome and adverse outcomes in adults, facilitating the development of tailored therapeutic approaches and improved patient outcomes

The study investigates the human nature degradation in “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding. When society ABSTRACT: The study investigates the human nature degradation in “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding. When society constraints and parental supervision are removed, these fortunate situations become accessible. Golding attributes mans bad character to the Original Sin, which occurred when Adam disobeyed Gods instruction in the Garden of Eden. When the boys believe they are no longer under parental authority and the instructors are unchecked, they begin to break the regulations of the island, even murdering one other, and a return to savagery occurs. The study examines different methods of deconstructing dichotomies to re-imagine the connection between humans and the environment. Of course, the underlying antithesis is between civilization and nature. The topic of human natures degeneration was the most well-known aspect of the novel, as a result, the depiction of the external environment was often disregarded. It is the purpose of this article to examine the worsening connection between man and the atmosphere from the viewpoint of psychologists to show the eventual demise of humanity in the book. As a critical endeavor, psychological analysis requires a rethinking of the link between man and external environmental factors which affect his life. It is the study of how humans and the physical world interact.

Avian colibacillosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity associated with economic losses in the industry throughout the world. The problem is enhanced by the growing resistance of pathogenic pathogens towards antibiotics. This situation has strongly stimulated a renewal of scientists’ interest in bacteriophages (phages), viruses of bacteria. They are abundant in nature, and accompany bacteria in each environment they colonize, including human microbiota. The aim of our work was to study the prevalence of pathogenic E-coli in poultry, isolate, characterize, and evaluate the potential use of isolated bacteriophages to control E. coli infections in poultry. 35 pathogenic E. coli strains were isolated from 90 sample of poultry excreta. The most common phylogenetic groups were A1 (25%), A2 (15%), B1 (35%), and B2 (25%). E. coli was 100% resistant to five antibiotics (Bacitracin, Clindamycin, Carbapenem, Cephalexin, Clarithromycin). E. coli was least resistant to oxacillin (40%), followed by tetracycline (48.6%). The prevalence of multidrug resistance was 91.4%. Such high levels of resistance in E. coli isolated from poultry excreta could pose a serious threat to humans. Five novel phages against pathogenic E. coli were isolated from sewage water and characterized in vitro. The electron microscopic analysis showed that two phages belonged to the Myoviridae family and three bacteriophages belonged to the Siphoviridae family, in the order Caudovirales

A photovoltaic (PV) off grid system is a cutting-edge energy system that harnesses solar power to provide reliable electricity to localized areas. This abstract focuses on enhancing the performance of PV standalone off grid systems through the implementation of an advanced charge controller employing closed-loop control strategies. These autonomous energy systems, powered by solar panels, offer a decentralized solution to electricity generation and distribution. Traditional charge controllers may not efficiently adapt to varying solar irradiance levels, leading to suboptimal energy harvesting. The closed-loop control system proposed in this work addresses the need for dynamically adjusting the charging algorithm in response to real-time environmental conditions, ensuring maximum energy captured from the PV system. The open circuit voltage algorithm plays a pivotal role in increasing the overall efficiency of the PV micro grid. By responding intelligently to changes in solar irradiance and load requirements, the system minimizes energy losses and maximizes the utilization of available renewable resources, thereby addressing the need for efficient energy management. The results obtained from MATLAB simulation are compared with other methods in terms of maximum power efficiency. The results suggest that the open circuit voltage algorithm is efficient.

The main aim of the study was to assess the physical activity among adolescents of Pune City. For this study total 500 students were randomly selected from Pune city.  The subject’s age was ranged in between 13-17 years. For the purpose of collecting the data the researcher used and selected International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is a widely used instrument for assessing physical activity levels in various populations by (Craig et al., 2003). The questionnaire is divided into four domains. These are Leisure-Time Physical Activity: Activities during discretionary time, such as sports, exercise, and recreational activities. Occupational Physical Activity: Activities related to work or employment. Transportation Physical Activity: Activities related to commuting, such as walking or cycling. Household and Garden Physical Activity: Activities related to household chores and gardening. Data were measured by IPAQ questionnaire which is used to calculate the total metabolic equivalent of task (MET) minutes per week. MET is a unit that represents the energy expenditure of an activity relative to resting metabolic rate. MET values are assigned to different levels of physical activity intensity (e.g., walking, moderate-intensity activities, vigorous-intensity activities), and the total MET minutes per week are calculated by multiplying the duration and frequency of each activity. Percentage was used as a statistical tool analyses the data. The result of the study revealed that students 57.6% (288) are less involved in physical activity, where as 23.4% (117) students are moderately involved in physical activity and 19% (95) students are highly involved in physical activity.

By tackling the theme of ethics in business, we underline that some essential principles should be considered in any business at any level. During the centuries, trades and businesses involved Christians and Muslims, reflecting cultural and religious elements. As nowadays economy becomes more and more of a war weapon, it should be noted that, at least for Christians and Muslims, some norms govern any trade or business. Religious traits cannot be eliminated from business as they are rooted in human character. Not only do the Bible and the Quran present such principles, but these religions’ holy books emphasize their importance in everyday life. Man is accountable to God and responsible for his business, and any part of economic life should reflect spiritual values. The paper exemplifies that specific requirements should be applied in business. Both religions are promoted honesty, generosity, and equity. In Christianity and Islam, there is a particular emphasis on protecting the orphan, the widow, the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable. Any business should take this into account. The Bible and the Quran are the ultimate standard and ideals for individuals in association with other members of society. Even if we speak today of a secular society, human values must be reflected from small businesses to multinational corporations. Socio-moral and metaphysical norms and values mainly influence economic systems. Every economic system of the world is different from other economic systems prevailing due to its distinct features. Therefore, if the businesses conducted by Christians and Muslims follow ethical rules, they can contribute to a better global economy.
CHATGPT – LEARNING ACCELERATOR OR DEMOLISHER OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING? AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON BUSINESS FRENCH

Published: March 2024

Few inventions are as provocative and genuinely frightening as ChatGPT. Launched in 2022, ChatGPT is sparking lively debate and raising ethical, academic and professional questions across the board. The impact of artificial intelligence on the teaching and learning of foreign languages, as well as its use in professional settings, will undoubtedly be considerable. It is still difficult for non-specialists to understand clearly the extent to which the conversational robot could become a real competitor in the job market and, in time, replace humans. This is why we are proposing a simple and illustrative model for simulating professional activity, built around the issue of foreign languages in the professional environment. This model highlights the undeniable contrast between the expenditure of time and energy by human intelligence and artificial intelligence, respectively, in solving the same professional task. This impactful strategic approach, through the cinematic effect of its presentation, is capable of provoking significant awareness and stimulating reflection on the role of AI in the learning process of students or employees and their integration into the future labour market. The case study on business correspondence in French can be extrapolated to other foreign languages and can serve as a pretext for similar studies or training courses in other fields. The machine is clearly superior to humans in its ability to generate numerous correct versions extremely quickly in the resolution of professional tasks. From the perspective of various stakeholders – teachers and students, employees and employers, educational policy designers, and official decision-makers – we will show that artificial intelligence will force everyone to reconsider previous approaches and make radical changes. Artificial intelligence can represent a real opportunity for users who want to accelerate their foreign language learning and improve their linguistic proficiency. The machine’s performance can also pose a threat to language teaching and learning as traditionally known. ChatGPT is like a sharp knife, capable of doing both good and harm depending on how it is used.
Consciousness and Commodity: Towards A Critical Theory of Genre in American Popular Music
Authors: Glick Isaiah
Published: March 2024

Genre, particularly in the popular music industry, can be understood as a perpetual cycle – from the origin of a new sound or ‘scene,’ recognition by critics and tastemakers, commercialization as a canonized genre, and finally its rejection and/or reinvention by a new generation of artists seeking to establish their own new forms. In America, these musical communities have been most often grounded in racial, regional, or sexual preference identities, as these ties have been the most meaningful to listeners. Over time, the reactionary resistance of these artistic communities and practices produces music that is itself codified as a new product line, confirming the relentless cycle of genre. In this paper, I utilize three case studies ranging from the fabrication of ‘hillbilly’ music in the 1920s, Disco Demolition Night and resistance to the popularity of disco in the late 1970s, and the rise and popularization of hip hop in the 1980s help show different moments on the cycle of genre creation and the resistance that emerges. Finally, this paper will point to indications that the advent of streaming music is leading to the obsolescence of the traditional production of genre.

We are witnessing the rapid rise and fall of new musical non-genres, epitomized by hyperpop, a ‘genre’ that lacks any core common attributes. If genre is a tool to construct the self and, at times, enable communities of resistance, a world without lasting musical genres presents implications and challenges for the future of identity and social change.
