Digiprom is a startup that provides ad serving services. These advertisements will later be shown in public places, such as supermarkets, cafes, malls, and others. The problem faced by Digiprom is that there is no information technology to help interact between Digiprom and its clients (businessman). The interactions in question are such as registration as a client, the process of making a contract between the client and Digiprom, the process of monitoring the contract that has been made and the delivery of other information about Digiprom. To solve this problem, an Android-based mobile application will be developed to help Digiprom interact with its clients. This research focuses on the development side of the Android application, while the server side is not included in this study. The development of this application will use the Waterfall method and tested using black box testing and user acceptance testing. The system design is described using three UML diagrams, namely use case diagrams, activity diagrams and class diagrams. Program code written using Kotlin language with MVVM architecture (Model, View, ViewModel). There are three main objects in this system, namely users (businessman/clients), ads (advertisements) and location (advertising locations). Each object will have its own repository. The repository has three data sources, namely network (server), Room Database, and Data Store. The use of MVVM architecture facilitates the development and maintenance process, because if there is a change in the data structure of an object, it will not affect the data structure of other objects. The results of this research (Android application) will be uploaded to the Google Play Store under the name Digiprom.

The purpose of accreditation is to be able to determine the eligibility of a Study Program based on criteria that refer to the National Higher Education Standards and to guarantee the quality of the Study Program externally both in the academic and non-academic fields. Accreditation status is a benchmark for the performance of the study program concerned and describes the quality, efficiency, and relevance of an organized study program. The person in charge of assessing is called an auditor, the auditor needs information about the study program obtained from completing the accreditation assessment instrument by first making a study program self-evaluation document. In practice, staff must collect data along with evidence to the auditor to carry out an assessment in accordance with the standards set by BAN-PT, but study program staff in data collection still often experience data being scattered from one another, because the data collected is not small. This also sometimes results in less than optimal data collection to the auditor so that it can reduce the assessment. This problem can be overcome by making an Audit Information System so that data collection can be more organized. This information system was built using the prototype method with three stages, namely Listen to Customer, Build/Revise Mock Up, and Test Drive Mock-Up. This system uses the Laravel framework while for coding this system uses the PHP programming language. The testing method used is the Black Box Testing method with the Equivalence Partitioning type.

Authors:   Palacký University in Olomouc, Daniel Ladislav
Published: December 2023

The postwar situation changed the social atmosphere in the whole world. After World War I, the Dadaist movement and surrealism appeared, like after World War II, Arte povera, or Informel. Artists began to deal with new approaches to art. Interest now was taken in its various branches and among the people a desire for artistic creation increased. The period of general postwar euphoria brought new hope, a resolution to create a new society in the best sense of the word, and bring new ideas into education. In this context, Ladislav Daniel entered and introduced his concept of education. After Orff’s and Kodály’s model, Ladislav Daniel also endeavored to improve music education. Zoltán Kodály himself never wrote a complex method of music education but it should be based on his principles. These were adopted by teachers in many countries, including Ladislav Daniel. Ladislav Daniel‘s revolutionary challenge was writing the school for the soprano recorder and later for the alto recorder (flauto dolce). Another foundation of Daniel’s reform of music education was intonation training by method of tonal method of singing, developed from the work of Guido of Arezzo, a remarkable composer and theoretician of music of the Middle Ages.

Authors:   University of West Bohemia, Bubeníčková Daniela , Slavíková Marie ,   University of West Bohemia
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the issue of small rural schools and the possibilities of teaching music education in these schools. Small rural schools are schools with a small number of classes, where two or three school years are taught simultaneously in one classroom. Most of the time, these schools are established in small villages, at the primary school level. Teaching in small schools has its specificities, some of which can be seen as strengths and some as weaknesses in the teaching process. Today, in many countries, more and more young families are moving to the countryside to raise their children closer to nature. It can therefore be expected that interest in setting up small rural schools will increase. The article introduces the personal experience of the author of the thesis, who teaches all music education classes at a small rural school in the Czech Republic. We present here brief results of a research conducted in the form of a questionnaire among 34 teachers of small-class schools. The conclusions from her research are interpreted by the author of the thesis in such a way as to inspire other teachers of music education in small-class schools and possibly also teachers of full primary schools who are interested in the idea of pupils of different ages working together for a common musical outcome.

COVID-19 pandemic has been a massive disruption to the way of life and has forced people to adapt to new norms and changes in daily activities. The pandemic has also had a significant impact on consumer behaviour, particularly in the way people purchase food. One of the most notable changes observed is the rise in stockpiling behaviour where people are purchasing more food than they would normally need. Based on the literature review, three aspects were recognised as COVID-19 situational factors that could potentially impact consumers’ stockpiling behaviour, namely health and safety concerns, perception of current food product supply, and technological adaptation. To understand the impact of COVID-19 on consumers’ food stockpiling behaviour, this study was conducted among 400 Malaysian consumers through the distribution of questionnaires. The results found that all three factors had a positive and significant impact on consumer stockpiling behaviour. In particular, people became increasingly concerned about the pandemic and the potential for food shortages, and as they became more technologically savvy, they were more likely to purchase food products and stockpile them. This study provides valuable insights into how COVID-19 has affected consumer behaviour in relation to stockpiling food. It is a starting point for understanding how consumer behaviour has been impacted by the pandemic and how it can help shape future strategies for managing food supply and distribution. The findings of the study could be used to inform food supply chain management strategies, particularly in terms of consumer behaviour and demand for food products during the pandemic. Future research could aim to replicate the study in different locations and with larger sample sizes to further understand the impact of COVID-19 on consumer behaviour.

The awareness of gold price trends is essential for promoting financial stability, wealth preservation, diversified investments, preserving cultural practices and economic stability. However, there is a noticeable absence of studies utilizing least square models to analyze the daily gold price trend (RM), highlighting a gap in research on this crucial financial aspect. This study aims to uncover trends in daily gold prices over time, examine the correlation between gold prices and time, and develop a least squares model for analyzing daily gold price (RM). The dataset consists of 1569 daily gold price observations in Malaysia from August 2018 to November 2022, obtained through the secondary data collection method from the Public Gold website. The study discovered a positive correlation between Gold Price (RM) and Time (Day) with Pearson Correlation Coefficient of 0.879. This implies that, over the specified time frame, there is a consistent upward trend in gold prices, a critical insight for investors and financial decisionmakers. Furthermore, the developed least squares model features an intercept of 182.801 and a slope of 0.074. This slope signifies that for each day's increase in time, the gold price is anticipated to rise by RM0.074. The daily gold price analysis not only provides valuable insights into gold price patterns but also offers a practical tool for making informed financial decisions and predicting future gold prices, thereby contributing to economic stability, and fostering responsible and sustainable gold practices.

Nanofluids are known for their exceptional thermophysical properties, especially their thermal conductivity, which make them ideal for a number of heat transfer applications. In this study, the mixed convection nanofluid flow past a static wedge with the presence of velocity slip condition is investigated. The problem is governed by a system of partial differential equations which then transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using an appropriate similarity transformation. The transformed governing equations are then solved numerically by using MATLAB bvp4c solver. Numerical solutions obtained are presented graphically in the form of velocity and temperature profiles for different values of nanoparticles volume fraction, wedge angle and velocity slip. It is found that the increasing values of the wedge angle parameter causes the velocity of the fluid to increase whereas the temperature profile of the nanofluid decreases, additionally it observed that velocity of the fluid increase when velocity slip is increased. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into optimizing heat transfer processes in various engineering applications by leveraging the enhanced thermal properties of nanofluids and considering factors such as wedge angle and velocity slip

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a surge in online shopping in Malaysia, which has highlighted the significance of delving into the factors that affect consumers' behavior when making purchases online. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Malaysia between 3rd December and 27th December 2021. The study aimed to examine the differences in online shopping behavior among Malaysian consumers and used the Mann-Whitney Test and Kruskal Wallis Test for comparison when the normality assumption of the response is not normally distributed. The result demonstrates that there was a significant difference in online shopping behavior between marital status (U=5992.50, p=0.006), gender (U=5992.50, p=0.006), and different age groups (K=21.857, p=<0.001). In conclusion, the study contributes to the understanding of the characteristics of online shopping in Malaysia, including the factors that motivate consumers to shop online and the challenges they face.
REPRODUCTIVE ECOLOGY OF AN EVERGREEN DRY SEASON-BLOOMING TREE SPECIES, WALSURA TRIFOLIATA (A. JUSS.) HARMS (MELIACEAE)

Walsura trifoliata is an evergreen dry season-blooming hermaphroditic tree species. The flowers are nectariferous and characterized by urceolate androecium, strong protandry and secondary pollination mechanism, protruded bifid stigma displaying receptivity, self-compatibility and facultative xenogamy without the function of spontaneous autogamy. The floral traits indicate generalist pollination syndrome and adaptation for entomophily, with bees effecting mostly geitonogamy and wasps and butterflies effecting mostly xenogamy. Fruit-set is highest in xenogamy. Fruit is a globular drupe with 1-2 seeds embedded in fleshy aril. Seed dispersal modes include zoochory, barochory and hydrochory. The study shows that the function of generalist pollination syndrome, entomophily, facultative xenogamy and polychory enable this tree species to achieve highest fruit-set, maintain genetic variation through cross-pollination, and disperse its seeds to different distances in the forest ecosystem.

Fritillaria orientalis Adams is an endangered central Balkan and Illyrian species with sporadic presence in Romania, declared "Natural Monument". A new protected area of 22.18 ha located southwards to the village Berchieșu (Frata commune) is proposed for conserving the most important and abundant population of F. orientalis in the Cluj county, assessment based on available literature and personal observations in the field. For this reason, the area has special botanical value and needs to be legally protected in order to preserve this isolated population. This paper presents floristic data and vegetation characteristics along with relevant illustration of the proposed protected area. In order to easily distinguish F. orientalis from F. meleagris L., reported as well in the Cluj county, morphological, biometric and ecological differentiation characters are presented. Plant individuals of F. orientalis from Berchieșu are characterized by a pronounced diversity regarding the height of flower stems and colour of perianth. Collection of flowers or whole plants, extension of cultivated lands, improvised fire places near the forest edge, logging, fertilization of agricultural fields and motorized access threatens this population. Therefore, we propose a set of measures to assure its sustainable conservation and monitoring of the phytocoenoses to assess the effectiveness of protective actions.

"In a rapidly changing world, preparing students for the challenges and opportunities this new world provides is crucial. This paper investigates the integration of futures-oriented education and the pedagogy of creativity as a comprehensive approach to equip students with the necessary skills and mindset for the 21st century and beyond. We emphasize the importance of translating theoretical frameworks into actionable strategies to foster adaptable, innovative, and forward-thinking individuals. Futures-oriented education aims to develop students' abilities to think critically, plan for the long term, and make decisions based on diverse scenarios. It focuses on nurturing an in-depth understanding of complex systems and global interdependencies, enabling students to navigate the uncertainties of an ever-evolving world. On the other hand, the pedagogy of creativity seeks to cultivate imagination, problem-solving, and innovation by encouraging students to explore new perspectives, ideas, and solutions. Drawing upon interdisciplinary research, pedagogical models, and best practices, we outline the fundamental principles and instructional strategies for effectively integrating futures-oriented education and the pedagogy of creativity. We also provide a practical toolkit for educators to design and implement innovative curricula that seamlessly blend these two approaches, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience for students. This paper highlights the significance of bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and classroom practice to equip future generations with the skills and new attitudes required to tackle complex global challenges. By incorporating futures-oriented education and the pedagogy of creativity, we can cultivate a generation of leaders prepared to navigate and shape the world of tomorrow. "
