Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is adopted from the existing technology of 3D printing that is able to recreate the microenvironment of tissue structures or organs. However, the existing printing mechanism is normally based on slices of a 3D structure in computer-aided slicer software and prints in horizontal and diagonal manners. Such printing mechanism involving soft bioink which does not polymerise in short period of time produces distorted constructs due to the thixotropic properties of the bioink. To circumvent this problem, G-codes for simple 3D bioprinting mechanism were derived. A 3D bioprinter has been developed to implement unidirectional printing for different concentration of bioink. The modified coding was successfully customized for printing single layer to multilayer hexagonal structures. Additionally, the dimension accuracy of the 3D printing in producing similar dimensions of a design in CAD software is highly dependent on the concentration of the bioink applied. The results show that up to 97 % of printing accuracy can be achieved by applying 10: 50 % v/v of alginate/gelatin bioink.

When it comes to the operation of a construction industry, building maintenance is critical. Any structure must be well-maintained to prevent minor problems from becoming major ones. Delayed building maintenance may result in increased repair costs as well as a reduction in building lifespan. To avoid this problem, research has been conducted to identify the factors that cause building maintenance delays and mitigation measures to resolve building maintenance delays. To achieve the study's objectives, extensive literature research and a questionnaire survey were conducted. Based on previous literature research, accumulated data was used to create a questionnaire for 250 Malaysian building maintenance delay factors and mitigation measures. A group of professionals and experts, including top management, project managers, engineers, architects, assistant engineers, technicians, human resources and administration, and others, participated in this survey. SPSS statistical software was used to analyse the collected data using the average mean index method and correlation. According to the data, the three highest mean index values from the factors that cause maintenance work delays are an increase in maintenance costs as the building age increases, an incorrect timing for work can incur higher maintenance costs when a critical job item is overlooked, and improper planning and budgeting. For correlation analysis, it was found that the correlations amongst the five groups of delay factors are having strong relationship with Pearson correlation value of 0.5. While for mitigation measures of the delay, it was found that three highest ranks are prefer other organizational structure follows by policy and objective and good communication. The findings can assist construction practitioners in prioritising their maintenance works.

Aquatic ecosystems offer several ecosystem services, including water purification, nutrient recycling, flood reduction, groundwater recharge, irrigation, and animal habitats. One of the most prevalent challenges freshwater systems face globally is eutrophication. Eutrophication refers to the process of increasing the concentration of plant nutrients in water. The Carlson's Trophic State Index (CTSI) categorises an aquatic environment's eutrophication condition. The parameters exclusively employ three water quality parameters, which are Secchi Disc Transparency (SD), Total Phosphorus (TP), and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a). Biological indicators refer to living organisms, such as plants and macroinvertebrates, that are implemented to identify and assess the presence of pollutants within a specific ecosystem. Therefore, this study focuses on the determination of trophic state and the assessment of biological indicators of Tasik Kemajuan. Water samples were collected for nine weeks using the composite sampling method for laboratory analysis. Water transparency was determined using a Secchi Disc. The Chl-a was determined by using the determination of chlorophyll-a using 90% methanol and measuring the absorption using a Hach DR6000 UV VIS Spectrophotometer at 663 nm and 750 nm, while the Total Phosphorus was determined by using USEPA1 PhosVer® 3 with Acid Persulfate Digestion Method (Method 8190). Tasik Kemajuan exhibited eutrophic conditions over the duration of the nine-week period. The CTSI values exhibited a range of 60 to 80, thereby demonstrating that the water body under consideration is in a state of eutrophication. The Red Claw Crawfish (Cherax Quadricarinatus), Amona Prawn (Caridina Multidentata), Freshwater Snail (Viviparidae), Tiger Barb (Puntius Tetrazona), and Waterlily (Nymphaeaceae) are among the biological indicators found in Tasik Kemajuan. In conclusion, the analysis of the result shows that the Tasik Kemajuan is in an eutrophic condition, which has high amounts of algae growth, and the bottom waters are seriously depleted in oxygen.

Public Private Partnership (PPP) is conceptualised as a performance-based procurement in which concessionaires are contracted to provide efficient facilities and services to the government. The quality of the facilities and services provided by the concessionaires will be assessed using key performance indicators (KPIs). This is for determining the level of performance against the agreed level of standards as expected by the government. However, most of the PPP projects are currently facing the difficulties in meeting the expectation. It is due to several issues such as lack of methods for measuring the KPIs, the lack of understanding of the KPI implementation, project performance not reflecting the actual performance (physical) on site, the absence of a weightage system on KPIs, and inconsistent of works performance. These shortcomings have led to the difficulty in determining the performance level of the PPP projects. Therefore, this research aims to identify the important criteria for selecting KPIs for PPP project and to determine the implications on the absence of important criteria in selecting PPP project KPIs. Empirical research using case studies via semi-structured interviews technique were conducted within PPP stakeholders. The important criteria were determined from the data obtained from thirty-two (32) semi-structured interviews conducted across six (6) case studies. The results indicate 11 important criteria to be considered when establishing the KPIs for PPP projects. The findings of this research may benefit practitioners in setting the criteria in selecting appropriate KPIs for the implementation of PPP project during operational and maintenance phase.

The process for medical equipment maintenance and replacement in hospitals is a challenging and demanding procedure. Further, the topic of making decisions to maintain or replace or upgrade medical equipment has been debated for a long time since errors equipment maintenance will increase equipment failure at undesirable times; or if early equipment replacement will result in high investment costs and premature disposal. Therefore, standard operating procedures or guidelines need to be in place to help healthcare facilities conduct a more organized and planned maintenance and replacement process. Many hospitals may already have established replacement guidelines or have implemented asset monitoring systems for this purpose. However, the effectiveness of this system has not yet been systematically evaluated. Several studies have been conducted on the same research topic, but most of the findings emphasize the replacement method rather than the criteria that contributed to the decision. Criteria for replacing medical equipment play an important role in ensuring that the equipment can be used cost-effectively. Thus, this research aims to identify important criteria that need to be considered for medical equipment maintenance and replacement focusing on private hospitals. This research was conducted in three phases: (1) a structured literature review; (2) semi-structured interviews with eleven (11) healthcare experts; and (3) a pairwise comparison survey with 50 biomedical engineers. A decision-making framework was developed based on the findings of these three research phases. The framework developed will provide guidelines for practitioners and academics to understand and make better decisions for medical equipment maintenance and replacement in the context of private hospitals.

This study presents persuasive evidence that national culture acts as a mediator in the relationship between leadership style and organisational performance in the context of UAE Smart Government. By investigating these links, the study emphasises the importance of taking cultural aspects into account when evaluating the impact of leadership on organisational outcomes in the context of smart governance. Data collected through questionnaire survey was used to develop a PLS-SEM mediation model in SmartPLS software. The modelling analysis found that national culture partially mediates the leadership styles with the organisational performance. It further found that Abu Dhabi's smart government had low worker productivity requirements and lacked a strong national culture. Leadership has a major and positive impact on the organization's national culture. As a result, it is acceptable to claim that leadership style has a substantial impact on organisational procedures. According to studies, there is a link between national culture and organisational performance. The findings indicate a connection between leadership styles and the nation's commitment, cohesion, and mission. This implies that an organisational culture in which employees participate in important organisational decisions, that is consistent in its workplace practises, and that is motivated by a clear mission, ultimately affects the organisational performances of employees in such organisations.

Cobb angle is the angle subtended by the most tilted vertebrae. It represents the degree of the spinal curvature and has been used to diagnose scoliosis. The severity of the scoliosis based on the cobb angle will determine the guide treatment and surgical planning. Manual measurement of Cobb angle using protractor or semi-manual using ONIS software is quite time consuming, and it is subjected to variations in interobserver and intraobserver measurements. This research proposed an algorithm to determine the Cobb angle using image processing and inverse cosine methods. The raw samples of X-ray images were obtained from Pusat Kesihatan Universiti (PKU), UTHM. Several interviews were conducted with radiologist at Pantai Hospital for verification purpose. Gaussian blur and unsharp mask were initially applied for noise removal in the preprocessing step. Three points were marked at the vertebrae image to assist for centroid estimation using Haar Cascade. The Cobb angle was estimated by applying the triangle formula derived from the inverse cosine law. In comparison to semi-manual method (Onis Software), the proposed technique has an error of less than 5 % and computes the Cobb angle 3.28 times quicker. In the future, it is suggested to explore other techniques such as deep learning for alternative data analysis for Cobb angle estimation.

This research presents the development of an IoT based non-invasive glucometer using optical methods for diabetes monitoring. Diabetes needs to be identified as soon as possible and its development is closely monitored. One of the measures to control this disease is the daily monitoring of blood sugar levels by using glucometer. Glucometers on the market are invasive that require blood sampling or sensors implantation. To get a blood sample, it is necessary to prick a fingertip with a needle to obtain a blood sample. This procedure is uncomfortable, and repeated punctures increase the risk of transmission of infectious diseases. Alternatively, a non-invasive method using optical technique was proposed in this paper. The prototype device is mainly consisting of an NIR LED (940nm) acting as a light transmitter delivered through a finger and reflect to photodetector (BPW34) that acting as a light receiver. The prototype was integrated with the IoT platform using Arduino Cloud for monitoring purpose. The next step involved the development of calibration model. Ten healthy individuals were recruited to take part in glucose readings measurement that conducted by National Kidney Foundation Batu Pahat. A calibration model ( y=82.19x+12.91) was successfully obtained from this experiment. The accuracy of the developed device was between 93.2 and 96.9 % where the error percentage was found to be less than 7 %. In conclusion, a painless non-invasive glucometer based near-infrared LED and photodiode was successfully developed. For future development, the accuracy of the system can possibly be improved by using a longer wavelength of light emitter such as 1500 nm.

MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES ORIENTED TO GLOBAL MARKET COMPETITION: CASE OF INDONESIA ARTIST CERTIFICATION AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDIZATION POLICY
Authors: Pertiwi Lesli Citra , Yakti Probo Darono
Published: November 2023

The art ecosystem in Indonesia is colored by two circles: traditional artists and modern artists, where each type of artist has a different interpretation of the process of making works of art. On the one hand, in general, traditional artists prioritize creation, works, and character so that in the process of art, they do not lean towards the economic value of the work produced. Although in many aspects when compared to modern artists, traditional artists lack the appreciation they deserve. In contrast to modern artists, who professionally and access to information become easier to access resources, especially in obtaining funding in the process of creating. These pros and cons are further escalated by the existence of a professionalization policy through an artist certification policy initiated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology in order to increase competition in the global market. This research started from a research question, namely mapping the problems that arise in the field in the implementation of certification and standardization programs. With qualitative-descriptive methods, this study tries to explore several findings, including: (1) Certification and standardization are urgent as the Indonesian artist community needs to improve its competence in increasing competition on a global scale, regardless of problems in the field to the grassroots, further formulations are still needed; (2) A human resource management approach is taken to regulate artists who have so far been difficult to put in order; and (3) The approach to capacity and quality development is the main motivation of the government in issuing this regulation. This research led to one conclusion, namely the motivation to encourage local art to become a global product facing various challenges, especially in bringing together the interests of artists with the government.

Barnett's resolution of the Minkowski – Abraham dilemma holds, no 4-vector issue
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: November 2023

There has been a century long controversy about the momentum density of photons in a medium, with two models getting experimental confirmation: the Minkowski model and the Abraham model. The latter being experimentations targeting the particle aspects of light, while the former focuses on its wave aspects. In 2010, Barnett proposed a simple resolution to the dilemma: both approaches are correct models, but one needs to distinguish what the momentum densities represent. The model is elegant and consistent with Maxwell’s equations in a medium. Subsequently, Changbiao Wang published two papers arguing that the reasoning is incorrect because the Abraham light momentum in the medium would not be a 4-vector. This paper shows that such a view is incorrect: the author incorrectly sets the kinetic momentum density of the medium to zero. Finally, we point out another paper that explains that the controversy is a relativistic effect between the reference frame in proper time for the wave and external observers.

Social Networks in Times of Türkiye's Currency Crisis
Authors: Gürerk Oğuz
Published: November 2023

In the latter months of 2021, the Turkish Lira (TL) experienced a rapid depreciation against the US dollar (USD), culminating in a nearly 100% increase in the USD/TRY exchange rate over a span of just over two months. On December 20, the rate peaked at 18.40 TL to 1 USD, up from 9 TL in mid-October. The swift introduction of the "FX-Protected Deposit Accounts" by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan led to a considerable revaluation, with the rate dropping to 11.10 TL to the USD the subsequent day. Concurrently, this period saw a significant rise in online activity, particularly on Twitter, reflecting the public's concern and reaction to the drastic exchange rate shifts. To investigate the nature and structure of these online economic discussions, we collected user data and Tweets featuring specific economic keywords and hashtags (e.g., #dollar, #minimumwage, money, raise). Our primary objectives were: (i) to determine the central figures around whom users congregated during the crisis in online discussions, and (ii) to analyze how these networks evolved before and after the policy intervention.

Understanding the Autoregressive Process of Drinking among Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder

Published: November 2023

Alcohol research aims to understand consumption patterns to develop interventions to mitigate harm. Adoption of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) in alcohol research marked a critical shift in the ability to understand consumption patterns over time. Facilitated by mobile technology, EMA allows repeated, real-time data collection, offering insights into the immediate contextual, physical, and emotional factors impacting alcohol consumption. Despite EMA's utility, direct inquiries into the relationship between the repeated measures are rarely explored, limiting our understanding of key aspects of consumption patterns. Furthermore, utilization of raw count data, a common practice, may introduce unintended bias, generating suboptimal estimates. This study explores the validity of existing methods to estimate an autoregressive process with raw count data through data simulation and proposes an alternative approach to reduce bias. Both approaches are then applied to EMA data collected from a randomized controlled trial testing brief interventions to reduce drinking among participants who drink hazardously. Findings reveal that the proposed method has greater validity, aligns more precisely with behavioral health theories, and outperforms the existing method in estimating the autoregressive effect; however, it also requires more power to identify moderating effects than the existing method. Advantages and limitations of each method are reviewed.
Language follows a distinct mode of extra-genomic evolution

As one of the most specific, yet most diverse of human behaviors, language is shaped by both genomic and extra-genomic evolution. Sharing methods and models between these modes of evolution has significantly advanced our understanding of language and inspired generalized theories of its evolution. Progress is hampered, however, by the fact that the extra-genomic evolution of languages, i.e. linguistic evolution, maps only partially to other forms of evolution. Contrasting it with the biological evolution of eukaryotes and the cultural evolution of technology as the best understood models, we show that linguistic evolution is special by yielding a stationary dynamic rather than stable solutions, and that this dynamic allows the use of language change for social differentiation while maintaining its global adaptiveness. Linguistic evolution furthermore differs from technological evolution by requiring vertical transmission, allowing the reconstruction of phylogenies; and it differs from eukaryotic biological evolution by foregoing a genotype vs phenotype distinction, allowing deliberate and biased change. Recognising these differences will improve our empirical tools and open new avenues for analyzing how linguistic, cultural, and biological evolution interacted with each other when language emerged in the hominin lineage. Importantly, our framework will help to cope with unprecedented scientific and ethical challenges that presently arise from how rapid cultural evolution impacts language, most urgently from interventional clinical tools for language disorders, potential epigenetic effects of technology on language, artificial intelligence and linguistic communicators, and global losses of linguistic diversity and identity. Beyond language, the distinctions made here allow identifying variation in other forms of biological and cultural evolution, developing new perspectives for empirical research.
Darwin’s road not taken: white sclera, shared intentionality, niche construction, predator fear, teams and Homo origins
Authors: Skoyles John
Published: November 2023

Palaeoanthropologists have yet to pinpoint how Homo evolved from Australopithecus. I propose niche construction ending predator ambush and stalking attacks, white sclera, and ultrafast team cognition were key.Human white sclera allows the quick, distant detection of line-of-sight. This is unique. In other primates, predators eliminate conspicuous-eyed individuals. Consequently, nonhuman primates have coloured sclera, hiding gaze direction broadcasting. Recognizing line-of-sight’s split-second changes from a distance enables the ultrafast detection of attention shifts that support intercoupling cognitions (cognitive alignment, shared intentionality, and split-second coordination). Under certain conditions, such split-second coordinated teams can niche-construct predator-shunning safe habitats. Once shunning replaces hunting, it stops white sclera targeting, allowing it to persist.Constructing predator-safe habitats ended the “landscape of fear” that limited Australopithecus foraging, health, and cognitive/cultural development. Once shunned and freed from fear, these safe habitats allowed previously “wheel-clamped” cognitive potentials, including social learning, to flourish, revolutionizing hominin capacity for cultural evolution and cumulative culture. Thus, predator-safe niche construction transfigured Australopithecus’s phenotype into Homo. White-eyed australopiths, I argue, were the first humans.Significance Statement: The prevailing view is that genetic changes initiated the emergence of the human genus Homo. However, research on predator fear in songbirds and capuchin monkeys, along with its negative effects on social learning and cultural transmission, points to a non-genetic alternative. In this account, Homo arose when a group of Australopithecus found a way to gain predator shunning, not attack, freeing them from constant predation fear. Ending predator fear unlocked previously “wheel-clamped” cognitive and cultural potentials, triggering a phenotypic change dividing humans from other hominids. Critically, a plausible mechanism must have enabled Homo to achieve predator shunning to end its predation. A comprehensive review provides a compelling argument that such a mechanism did indeed exist and that its past occurrence can be empirically established. The proposed mechanism centres on two often-overlooked human traits: the conspicuous direction of our line-of-sight due to white sclera and our unique ability for split-second team coordination. The proposal posits that Homo emerged when white-sclera-eyed Australopithecus used their conspicuous line-of-sight to split-second coordinate as teams to get predators to shun them. This perspective challenges dominant genetic assumptions and identifies unexplored avenues to research human origins.
Computational Perspectives on Behaviour in Anorexia Nervosa: A Systematic Review
Authors: Radzikowska Marta , Pike Alexandra Claire , Hall-McMaster Sam
Published: November 2023

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a severe eating disorder, marked by persistent changes in behaviour, cognition and neural activity that result in insufficient body weight. Recently, there has been a growing interest in applying computational methods, grounded in formal mathematical models, to understand cognitive mechanisms that underlie AN symptoms. Our aim was to systematically review progress in this new and emerging field. Based on articles selected using systematic and reproducible criteria, we identified four current themes in the computational study of AN: 1) learning from feedback; 2) decision-making; 3) goal-directed and habitual control over behaviour; and 4) cognitive flexibility. In addition to detailing and appraising the insights from each of these areas, we highlight methodological considerations for the field and outline promising future directions to establish the clinical relevance of (neuro)computational changes in AN.
