Published: April 2024

Salah satu faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi keandalan pembangkit dalam memproduksi listrik adalah permintaan beban yang berubah-ubah. Ketika beban yang diminta oleh konsumen (PLN) berfluktuasi, aliran daya yang mengalir pun juga akan berubah-ubah mengikuti kondisi beban. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis fluktuasi pembebanan terhadap aliran daya yang mengalir, besar rugi daya, dan jatuh tegangan pada PLTU 1000 MW. Metode yang digunakan adalah menggunakan simulasi load flow pada software ETAP 19.0.1, dengan metode iterasi aliran dayanya menggunakan metode Newton-Raphson. Metode Newton-Raphson lebih sering digunakan karena lebih efisien dan presisi. Hasil yang diperoleh pada penelitian ini adalah daya aktif dan reaktif tertinggi yang mengalir untuk beban PLN sebesar 921.183 MW dan 113.567 MVar. Rugi daya aktif dan reaktif tertinggi terjadi di percabangan CW Water Pump Motor dengan nilai persentasenya sebesar 1.32% dan 1.36%. Jatuh tegangan tertinggi sebesar 1.83%. Nilai dari rugi daya dan jatuh tegangan pada semua percabangan masih memenuhi standar PLN karena tidak ada yang melebihi 2%. Berdasarkan simulasi ETAP, generator mengalami peringatan overload pada waktu-waktu tertentu dengan beban tertingginya mencapai 973.112 MW, tetapi masih berada dalam kondisi marginal. Sementara itu, kabel pada Pemakaian Sendiri masih dapat mengalirkan arus secara normal tanpa ada peringatan overload.

Authors: Tolba Ahmed , Talal Nourhan
Published: April 2024

A brain tumor is a highly malignant disease that affects both children and adults. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most effective way to detect brain cancer. Scanning generates a huge amount of image data. This paper presents a study on the importance of neutrosophic sets (NS) in deep learning (DL) models for accurately classifying images. The work employs the NS and theory to convert medical images from the grayscale spatial domain to the neutrosophic domain. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of NS on DL models. The proposed work was evaluated on 3263 images of the brain tumor MRI dataset. The dataset is divided into four categories: glioma, meningioma, no tumor, and pituitary tumor. The study suggests that including the NS in DL models improves testing accuracy, especially when working with limited brain tumor datasets.

Published: April 2024

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMTs) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery by connecting medical devices and applications to healthcare IT systems via the internet. This connectivity enables the collection, transmission, and analysis of patient data, facilitating remote healthcare delivery and enhancing patient outcomes. However, the security and privacy of the data transmitted and stored within IoMT systems remain critical concerns. Blockchain technology offers a promising solution to address these challenges in IoMTs applications. Blockchain provides a decentralized and immutable ledger where transactions, in this case, patient data, are securely recorded and cannot be altered retroactively. This ensures the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive medical information while eliminating the need for a central authority to manage data exchange. This study proposes a comprehensive fuzzy decision-making framework for selecting the best blockchain provider in the IoMT field. The framework comprises two main steps: Determining the relative importance weights of the criteria utilizing the Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method. Determining the most suitable supplier for blockchain services providers employing the Ranking Alternatives with the Fuzzy ROOT Assessment Method (RAM) technique. A comparison between Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods is employed to ensure the robustness and validity of the proposed framework.

Published: April 2024

Suicidal ideation has been associated in different studies with emotional disturbances, including anxiety, depressive symptoms and burnout. At the moment, there are not many studies that have explored this association in students who face the university entrance examination in Spain. In this research, our main objective was to explore the association between positive suicidal ideation and anxiety, depressive symptoms and burnout in students who were taking these tests. The study involved 402 last-course high school students who were taking the assessment tests in Granada (Spain), aged between 17 and 24. All of them answered to a survey containing sociodemographic variables, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Zung’s Self-Rating Depression Scale, the one-dimensional scale of Student Burnout and the Positive and Negative Suicidal Ideation Inventory. The results obtained indicate a clear and sig-nificant correlation between positive suicidal ideation, anxiety, depressive symptoms and burnout. Of these three variables, the one that best predicts the presence of suicidal ideation is depressive symptoms. Knowing the presence of emotional disturbances and dysfunctional states in these students is important in preventing and intervening in this ideation in students.

Pakistan, with a population of nearly 227 million people, stands in the fifth position among the world's most populous countries. This population is relatively evenly distributed between genders, with 49.2 percent being female and 50.8 percent male. According to estimates for the year 2023, Pakistan's population is anticipated to have grown to approximately 240,485,658 individuals. This number reflects Pakistan's representation at 2.99 percent of the total global population, firmly solidifying its rank among the top countries and their dependencies by population. In Pakistan, women make up approximately 49.2% of the total population. However, when we assess the current status of Pakistani women in comparison to women in other countries worldwide, it becomes evident that the situation is far from satisfactory and often falls into the category of one of the most challenging scenarios. Pakistani women often encounter a multitude of barriers on their path to success, including illiteracy, domestic violence, a lack of motivation and support, and various other obstacles. Pakistan remains a society where male dominance prevails, and achieving gender equality is crucial for the nation's overall development. Empowering women, particularly through higher education, plays a pivotal role in achieving this objective.

Published: April 2024

In the context of accounting management perspectives, corporate enterprises in the 21st century are facing issues determining whether their operational practices are genuinely profitable and environmentally sustainable. Accounting practice across organizations is influenced by various interconnected activities, including managerial behavior, technical advancements, competitive dynamics, and critical stakeholder concerns about enterprise accountability. Globalization has raised the demands for accounting management and used relevant and updated technological techniques to become ecologically friendly. This indicates the need for adopting the actions and practices by the companies that translate the operational processes into processes that do not raise the cost of processing or manufacturing rather have a sustainable impact on the environment and enhance profitability or revenue generation. The rising interest in environmental and social performance has made it a statutory requirement, just like accounting in the financial aspect. Management accountants must adhere to the recent changes where several problems must be identified and resolved. The impact of the organizations' business activities can be detected by making efficient environmental management accounting. The present systematic review thus aims to study the emerging issues in management accounting while relating the debate with sustainability, governance, and digital technologies. The systematic review has chosen five research articles to explore the emerging issues and challenges in management accounting via analyzing modern era digital technologies, corporate policies, and governance as exercised by the organizations and sustainability practices. The study identifies ineffective regulatory practices, lack of knowledge and skills, and the ineffective implementation of environmental accounting as primary factors that hinder accounting sustainability.

Published: April 2024

This study adds to the body of existing knowledge by examining the relationship between service quality (SQ), customer satisfaction (CS), brand reputation (BR), corporate social responsibility (CSR), and the mediating effect of customer trust (CT). This study's primary goal is to identify the individual and intuitive effects of service quality, customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on customer loyalty (CL). Additionally, the research investigates the significance of consumer trust as a mediator. The research collected responses from a diverse sample of 300 banking customers. A structured questionnaire was employed as the primary instrument for data collection. The questionnaire was made available to the bank customers in Lahore through online channels. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS) and MS Excel was used for data analysis. A robust analysis was also performed by using MS Excel. The results show that CSR did not considerably meaningfully affect CL, even while SQ, CS, and BR had strong positive impacts on customer loyalty. This result calls for further research into the particular facets of CSR that might affect CL in the banking industry. The findings of the research may be specific to the context of the banking industry in Lahore and might not be directly generalizable to other regions or industries. The outcomes of this research offer practical implications for banking institutions seeking to enhance customer loyalty. Understanding the drivers of loyalty can guide strategic decisions related to SQ, CS, and BR.
Islami Jamhoori Ittehad As An Oppositional Alliance
Authors: Ali Muhammad Rizwan , Zafar Muhammad Naeem
Published: April 2024

As one of Pakistan’s greatest political coalitions, Islami Jamhoori Ittihad (IJI) had a significant impact on the country’s history. It is believed that IJI was a coalition whose primary objective was to thwart the PPP’s efforts to attain power in whatever way that was possible. Most of the time, oppositional alliances form to fight against the power of the government. The objective of the study was to explore Islami Jamhoori Ittihad (IJI) as an oppositional alliance. Most Pakistani coalitions oppose the army-led government and employ popular agitation to restore parliamentary authority. These coalitions were formed to challenge the army-led administration. In the beginning, the COP engaged in productive criticism of the federal administration in an effort to achieve its goals of a province autonomy, economic and social fairness, Shariah enforcement, government accountability, genuine federal system and increased law and order. COP was perceived as a way to disapprove the budget to debunk PPPs. Horse trafficking, political bribery, and corruption marred Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s no-confidence vote. Benazir gathered her people in Sawat to oppose this. Benazir claims that in 1989, with the help of the ISI and the Army, a motion of no confidence was filed against her, and that she was a major target. Key players in this motion included Hussain, Qazi HA, Nawaz Sharif, and Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi. Jatoi said the opposition drafted a no-confidence resolution because corruption is worsening, Sindh is in chaos, inflation and prices are rising, and the government is making poor domestic and international decisions. Throughout the years 1988 and 1990, the political scene was dominated by conflicts similar to these. IJI and PPP misled each other’s reputation to limit their vote banks. To achieve this purpose, they risked public attention. Both IJI and PPP utilized their power to tarnish each other. This technique hurt both parties, strained the national budget, and didn’t solve people’s issues.

The provision of high-quality and dependable financial information plays a vital role in the economic, social, and financial advancement of a nation. Accountants and auditors, in their role as creators and validators of financial information, find themselves in a position where they must balance the interests of those who provide the information (producers) and those who consume it (investors, banks, creditors, etc.). Accountants and auditors in this capacity play a crucial public role. The accounting profession plays a crucial role in a country's development by contributing to its economic growth, financial stability, effective operation of capital markets, and the public sector. The accounting profession facilitates and fosters the expansion and advancement of businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, by providing them with assistance in strategic and financial management. Its primary goal is to safeguard the interests of shareholders and the public who invest capital in these businesses. As the accounting profession evolved, professional organizations for accountants were established. These organizations have the goal of safeguarding the public's interests by promoting the growth of a robust profession and making valuable contributions to the stability and strength of the economy. Accounting operations (OPs) play a crucial role in serving the public's interests by contributing to the establishment of high-quality standards and guidelines in the accounting and auditing field. Their main objective is to create favorable conditions for the adoption and implementation of these standards, promote the growth of a robust accounting profession, and ensure the delivery of top-notch services by accounting professionals.

Published: April 2024

Women's participation in sport, which is an important part of human life, has been the subject of debate for centuries. In Islamic countries, the religious view of society influences women's participation in sport in different ways. In some Islamic countries today, women's participation in sport is encouraged, while in others it is restricted by various norms. Sports education and sports policies play an important role in attracting women to sports in Islamic countries. As part of our research, we examined the historical perspective of women's participation in sports in Islamic countries, the current status of women's sports, the role of Islamic faith in shaping women's participation in sports, and the potential of women's sports as a means of empowerment and social change. To summarise, Islam does not prohibit women's participation in sports, but only encourages them to participate in sports by covering themselves according to the religion and rules.
Income Distribution in Vietnam’ Regions
Authors: Chan Tran Hoa Phuc , Minh Ngo Ngoc
Published: April 2024

Vietnam has seen rapid economic expansion in recent decades, yet income distribution remains uneven, with significant disparities among its populace. While some have experienced considerable income growth, others have not. The wealthiest 10% of earners account for nearly 40% of the nation's total income, while the bottom 40% earn just 15%. This inequality is especially pronounced in urban regions, where living costs are higher and job opportunities are scarcer for those with lower educational attainment. Although the Vietnamese government has implemented policies like increasing the minimum wage to address this issue, more action is necessary to ensure that all citizens benefit from economic progress. This study evaluates the influence of institutions on multidimensional poverty using household and provincial data from Vietnam. Employing the Multilevel Probit Model with data from the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) conducted in 2016, 2018, and 2020, the research indicates the following: (i) The impact of institutions on multidimensional poverty varies across localities; (ii) There is a negative correlation between institutions and multidimensional poverty reduction in urban areas and affluent provinces.
The Effectiveness of Monetary Policy in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
Authors: Song Kosal , Lim Siphat
Published: April 2024

The aim of this research is to examine how monetary aggregates affect economic growth in the ASEAN region. To achieve this objective, a Panel VAR model is utilized, incorporating five key macroeconomic indicators: gross domestic product, consumer price index, foreign exchange, interest rate, and money supply. The study focuses on nine ASEAN member countries, namely Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, spanning from 2012 to 2022. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) with the mean-differencing method or Helmert procedure is employed as the estimated method for the model. The findings of this study demonstrate that an increase in money supply by one lag has a significant positive impact on the gross domestic product at a 1% level of significance. This suggests that monetary policy plays a crucial role in promoting economic growth among the member countries of ASEAN. When it comes to the forecast error variance decomposition, the fluctuations in economic growth within ASEAN can mainly be attributed to the fluctuations in the consumer price index (34.85%), interest rate (8.84%), foreign exchange (5.92%), and money supply (2.24%). It is worth noting that the variations in all these variables in the system are primarily explained by the fluctuations in the general price level: 34.85% for gross domestic product, 35.24% for foreign exchange, 34.15% for interest rate, and 34.95% for money supply.

Authors: Darbandi Behjat , Ahadi Hasan , Khalatbari Javad
Published: April 2024

Objective: This study aimed to predict the tendency towards divorce in couples involved in infidelity based on marital intimacy and satisfaction, mediated by ethical orientation styles. Method: The research method was correlational, involving a statistical population of couples seeking counseling in districts one and two of Tehran in 2021. The sample size was 250 individuals of both genders, selected through random quota sampling. Data collection tools included: the Tendency Towards Divorce Scale by Rusbult, Johnson, & Morrow (1986), the Infidelity Scale by Yeni Seri & Kokdemir (2006), the Marital Intimacy Scale by Bagarozzi (2001), the Marital Satisfaction Scale by Enrich (1995), and the Ethical Orientation Styles Scale by Haidt & Graham (2007). Data analysis methods used descriptive statistics, structural equation modeling, and PLS3 SMART software. Findings: The results indicated that there was a negative relationship between marital intimacy and the tendency towards divorce among couples involved in infidelity. There was also a negative relationship between marital satisfaction and the tendency towards divorce in these couples. Marital intimacy and satisfaction could predict the tendency towards divorce mediated by ethical orientation styles. Additionally, there was a significant positive relationship between marital satisfaction and intimacy with ethical orientation styles, with ethical orientation styles mediating the relationship between these variables and the tendency towards divorce. Conclusions: This relationship intensifies when mediated by ethical orientation styles. Thus, with an increase in marital satisfaction, the tendency towards divorce due to infidelity decreases. This justifies the use of interventionist approaches to strengthen marital satisfaction to reduce the tendency towards divorce due to infidelity.

Data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003) and the Sanaei Zaker and Barati Marital Conflict Questionnaire (2008). The data were analysed with analysis of variance with repeated measurements method using SPSS-25 software. Findings: Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS26. The findings indicated that CCET significantly enhanced resilience and reduced marital conflicts in the experimental group compared to the control group in the post-test. Furthermore, the non-significant difference between post-test and follow-up scores in the experimental group suggests the lasting impact of CCET on resilience and marital conflicts in couples during the transition to parenthood. Conclusion: Therefore, CCET can be utilized to increase resilience among couples and aid in reducing marital conflicts post-childbirth.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the factors influencing the formation, continuation, and dissolution of Iranian marriages in the year 2022. Methods: This research utilized a qualitative method based on the Strauss and Corbin approach. A purposive selection of 10 experts, either faculty members or influential figures in decision-making centers for marriage and family affairs, were deeply interviewed. The data obtained from these experts provided a semi-structured questionnaire for interviews with 36 individuals, divided into three groups: formation, continuation, and dissolution of marriages. After each interview, data were coded and categorized according to the Strauss and Corbin method. Findings: In total, 2950 primary codes, 462 secondary codes, 97 concepts, 27 subcategories, and 9 main categories were identified, including external couple factors affecting formation, continuation, and dissolution; internal couple factors affecting formation, continuation, and dissolution; and individual factors affecting formation, continuation, and dissolution. Conclusion: The results indicated that the formation of marriage is influenced more by external couple factors than by any other factors. Although the continuation and dissolution of marriage are influenced by the nature of their formation, individual factors become important in these stages. It can be inferred that focusing on external couple factors before individual and internal couple factors in pre-marital counseling, and prioritizing individual factors in couple therapy and divorce counseling, may be more effective. It is recommended that the results of this study be used in planning, research, and therapeutic interventions in the field of marriage

Objective: The purpose of this research is to identify and prioritize the factors affecting women's entrepreneurship. Methodology: This study is applied in aim and descriptive in method. To determine the weight of criteria and sub-criteria for this issue, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) was utilized. Accordingly, after identifying the criteria and sub-criteria for each, a questionnaire was designed to match them and distributed to experts. In the current issue, the effects of criteria affecting women's entrepreneurship were examined with 20 decision-makers. In the next step, the questionnaires filled out by experts were transferred to Excel software. Findings: The factors affecting women's entrepreneurship include five criteria consisting of family, personality, economic, social, and cultural criteria. The family criterion has eight sub-criteria, the personality criterion has ten sub-criteria, the economic criterion has seven sub-criteria, and the social and cultural criteria each have five sub-criteria. The results show that among the criteria, the "personality" criterion, with a weight of 0.3071, and the "cultural" criterion, with a weight of 0.1103, ranked first and last, respectively. In addition, the "economic" criteria with a weight of 0.2011, "family" with a weight of 0.1931, and "social" with a weight of 0.1884, are ranked second to fourth, respectively. Moreover, among the thirty-five sub-criteria, the sub-criteria of "extensive social relationships" with a weight of 0.0530, "job satisfaction" with a weight of 0.0462, "institutions and resources" with a weight of 0.0448, "determination and will" with a weight of 0.0444, and "guidance and leadership" with a weight of 0.0428, are ranked first to fifth, respectively. Also, the sub-criteria of "market access" with a weight of 0.0270, "role models" with a weight of 0.0165, "transportation system" with a weight of 0.0165, "role conflict" with a weight of 0.0135, and "marital status" with a weight of 0.0088, respectively rank thirty-first to last. Conclusion: The research underscores a strong correlation between personality traits and women's entrepreneurship, pointing to the necessity of tailored programs in higher education to foster entrepreneurial inclinations.
