Published: September 2024

Polyester was examined in combination with oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) and fly ash to create hybrid composites. Various ratios of OPEFB to fly ash were tested, including 10/1, 10/5, 20/1, and 20/5, along with two sizes of OPEFB (80 and 40 mesh). The hybrid composites were fabricated using the hand lay-up method through hot pressing. The density of hybrid composites increased with varying sizes of fly ash. Compared to neat polyester, the hybrid composite exhibited higher water absorption, and thickness swelling was also greater. Despite these differences, the functional groups in the hybrid composites did not show variance from those in neat polyester. The incorporation of OPEFB fibers and fly ash in composite hybrids did not result in a significant difference. The thermal decomposition of hybrid composites at 600°C occurred in two stages. The initial weight loss between 100 and 300°C, followed by a substantial weight loss between 300 and 450°C. Subsequently, the composite hybrid experienced slower degradation after reaching 450°C. DSC analysis revealed that the addition of OPEFB fibers and fly ash as fillers increased the melting point. This is attributed to the thermal stability maintained by the OPEFB fiber filler and fly ash, leading to an elevation in the melting point of the hybrid composites. The shape of molecular symmetry, the molecular weight of the polymer compound, and the degree of crystallinity of the composite also influenced the melting point. A higher degree of crystallinity in the composite material correlated with a higher melting point.

Published: September 2024

The present research explains the efficient synthetic method and nanogram-level quantification of N-Nitroso Rivaroxaban impurity (NNRI) by using LC-MS/MS. The N-Nitroso Rivaroxaban Impurity (NNRI) of Rivaroxaban drug substances has been synthesized and a nanogram-level sensitive quantification of the NNRI impurity analytical method was developed. Identification and separation of analyte were achieved in a column having ascents Express C18 (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 2.7 µm). The run time of the developed method was 30 minutes with a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. This developed method can be useful to determine the N-Nitrosamine impurity (NNRI) of Rivaroxaban drug substances and drug products in commercial-scale batches. The established LCMS method was found to be specific, selective, precise, and accurate.
DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF THE HS-GC-FID METHOD FOR THE QUANTIFICATION OF RESIDUAL SOLVENTS IN DESLORATADINE
Authors: Gorja Ashok , Bandla Jahnavi
Published: September 2024

Testing for residual solvents is a crucial component of both reference material certification and pharmaceutical quality control. Developing and validating a head space-gas chromatography method for measuring residual solvents in desloratadine in pharmaceutical dosage forms was the aim of the current investigation. To create desloratadine, an active ingredient in pharmaceuticals, the pharmaceutical industry commonly uses organic solvents such as methanol, diethyl ether, dichloromethane, and tetrahydrofuran. A novel technique for measuring residual solvents in desloratadine was created using a flame ionization detector and headspace gas chromatography. HP1 Column (30m×0.53mm, 1.8µm), intake port maintained at 250°C, detector temperature 260°C, oven temperature 190°C, and injection volume 1µl with 1:50 split ratio utilizing nitrogen as a carrier gas at a flow rate of 1ml/min were the optimum chromatographic conditions. Using criteria from the International Conference on Harmonization, the method's linearity, range, detection limit, quantitation limit, accuracy, precision, specificity, system appropriateness, and robustness were all validated. It was determined that the idea was appropriate for determining four distinct residual solvents. The approach is particular, linear, exact, accurate, and sensitive, according to validation data, where recoveries varied from 90 to 110 percent. This thoroughly tested technique has been used to identify any remaining solvents in actual desloratadine bulk samples.

Beta generated slash distribution: derivation, properties and application to lifetime data
Authors: Bhattacharjee Sahana , Borah Nandita
Published: September 2024

In this paper, we introduce a new distribution called beta generated slash distribution by applying the slash construction idea to the existing beta distribution of first kind. The statistical properties of the distribution such as moments, skewness, kurtosis, median, moment generating function, mean deviations, Lorenz and Bonferroni curves, order statistics, Mills ratio, hazard rate functions have been discussed. The location-scale form of the beta generated slash distribution is also established. The hazard rate function is seen to assume different shapes depending upon the values of the parameters. The method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the unknown parameters of beta generated slash distribution and a simulation study is conducted to check the performance of these estimates. Finally, the proposed distribution is applied to a real-life data set on failure times and the goodness-of-fit of the fitted distribution is compared with four other competing distributions to show its flexibility and advantage particularly in modeling heavy tailed data sets.

Published: September 2024

Let $(\mathtt{N},\mathfrak{g})$ be a Riemannian manifold, by using the musical isomorphisms ♪ and $\natural$ induced by $\mathfrak{g}$, we built a bridge between the geometry of the tangent bundle $\mathtt{TN}$ (resp. the unit tangent sphere bundle $\mathtt{T}_{1}\mathtt{N}$) equipped with the Sasaki metric $\mathfrak{g}_{S}$ (resp. the induced Sasaki metric $\bar{\mathfrak{g}}_{S}$) and that of the cotangent bundle $\mathtt{T}^{\ast}\mathtt{N}$ (resp. the unit cotangent sphere bundle $\mathtt{T}_{1}^{\ast}\mathtt{N}$) endowed with the Sasaki metric $\mathfrak{g}_{\widetilde{S}}$ (resp. the induced Sasaki metric $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}_{\widetilde{S}}$). Moreover, we prove that $\mathtt{T}_{1}^{\ast}\mathtt{N}$ carries a contact metric structure and study some of its proprieties.

Published: September 2024

The primary objective of this study is to introduce the concepts of $I_2$-deferred Cesàro summability and $I_2-$ deferred statistical convergence for double sequences in fuzzy normed spaces (FNS). Furthermore, the aim is to explore the connections between these concepts and subsequently establish several theorems pertaining to the notion of $I_2$-deferred statistical convergence in FNS for double sequences. We further define $I_2$-deferred statistical limit points and $I_2$-deferred statistical cluster points of a sequence within FNS and explore the relationships among these concepts.
The Efficacy of Prismatic Bifocal Spectacle Lenses in Controlling Myopia Progression in Children.
Authors: Boz Ali Altan Ertan
Published: September 2024

Objective: Progression of myopia can lead to vision impairment and increase the risk of sight-threatening complications. Various strategies were described to control the progression of myopia, including the use of specialized spectacle. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the efficacy of prismatic bifocal spectacle lenses in controlling the progression of myopia in pediatric patients.
Materials and Methods: Fifty-two eyes of 26 patients using prismatic bifocal spectacle lenses were retrospectively analyzed. Both eyes of each patient with a cycloplegic objective refraction measurement of ≥-2.00 D were included. Demographic data of the patients such as age and gender were investigated. The increase in objective spherical equivalent and axial length over the one year of single-vision spectacle use was compared with the increase observed one year after the prescription of bifocal prismatic spectacle.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 11.65 ± 2.70 years. Sixteen patients were male, and 10 patients were female. The increase in mean spherical equivalent in eyes using single vision spectacles over one year was 1.25 ± 0.76 D, compared to 0.24 ± 0.14 D with prismatic bifocal spectacles, which was statistically significant). Similarly, the increase in mean axial length was 0.66 ± 0.31 mm with single vision spectacles and 0.014 ± 0.015 mm with bifocal spectacle, also statistically significant Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that baseline higher myopia and baseline shorter axial length were significantly associated with the treatment effect.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that bifocal prismatic lenses have the potential to be an effective intervention for managing myopia in children, particularly those with high rates of progression. However, further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods is needed to fully understand the long-term impacts of this treatment approach.

The village government as a stakeholder who is responsible for developing the potential that exists in the village, one of which is the potential of human resources. Youth is an important component in the village as a partner of the village government to work together to advance the welfare of the village. Based on the Republican Theory of Citizenship that individual freedom exists in a guarantee of state security that is under the legal order and the virtues of citizens (civic virtues) to be able to participate in it. The purpose of this study is to analyze and describe the role of the village government in carrying out youth development efforts in Braja Asri Village as an effort to establish civic virtue. The research method used is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques are carried out by means of observation, documentation, and interviews. Based on the results of the study, it shows that the implementation of guidance from the Braja Asri Village government has not been effective because the village government is still focusing on the physical development of the village, the lack of motivation from the youth themselves, the personal busyness of each young man. This affects the process of forming civic virtue in the youth because there needs to be good cooperation between fellow components, namely the village government and the youth.Keywords: Village Government, Youth Development, Citizenship Civilization

Authors: Ariyani Wina , Luthpiah Nazla
Published: September 2024

Background: Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) frequently experience nocturnal dyspnea, leading to poor sleep quality, which can slow down recovery and prolong hospital stays. The semi-Fowler sleep position may alleviate breathing difficulties and improve sleep quality in CHF patients.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of semi-Fowler sleep position education on the sleep quality of CHF patients.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group was used, involving 26 CHF patients selected through accidental sampling from the inpatient ward of Subang General Hospital. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the intervention involved educational booklets and demonstrations on the semi-Fowler sleep position.
Results: Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney test showed a significant improvement in sleep quality post-intervention, with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a meaningful difference in sleep quality between the intervention and control groups.
Conclusion: Educating CHF patients on the semi-Fowler sleep position significantly improved their sleep quality. These findings suggest that incorporating semi-Fowler position education into patient care may help reduce nocturnal discomfort and promote better recovery in CHF patients. This approach could be a practical intervention for improving patient outcomes and reducing hospital stays.

Published: September 2024

The experimental study presented in this research was conducted to understand the performance of rubberized concrete columns under axial loads and numerically analyze the conduct of rubberized reinforced concrete (RRC) columns under cyclic loads. Twelve large-scale columns with square and circular cross sections were utilized to carry out experimental testing. Under axial loading, fine aggregate was replaced in percentages of 0%, 10%, and 15% with crumb rubber (CR). Square RRC columns were examined by a finite element program (ABAQUS) under cyclic loading. The experimental results indicated that the columns with crumb rubber had a lower load capacity than those without crumb rubber when exposed to axial loads. The numerical results were in good alignment with the experimental results, indicating that the simulated model may simulate the behavior of rubberized concrete columns under both axial and cyclic loads. According to the numerical analyses, the lateral displacement was significantly improved for rubberized reinforced concrete columns with 10% and 15% replacement of fine aggregates compared to columns without CR. Adding 10% and 15% of crump rubber to the fine aggregate in reinforced concrete columns increased the displacement ductility. The equivalent viscous damping ratio was enhanced by 33.67% when increasing crumb rubber (CR) from 0% to 10%, and when crumb rubber (CR) replacement became 15%, the damping ratio increased to 44.02%.The rubberized reinforced concrete columns showed a more ductile reaction than the traditional reinforced concrete columns, as evidenced by their softer post-peak response.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, triggered significant global disruptions, leading to widespread restrictions aimed at controlling the virus's spread. These restrictions prompted businesses to rapidly adapt, with a strong focus on digitalization, to meet evolving consumer demands. This study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer satisfaction and business performance in Malaysia. Data were collected from 150 customers and business owners through surveys and observational methods. The findings revealed that perceived usefulness and business reaction were highly significant factors influencing customer satisfaction and business performance. Additionally, perceived overall performance played a crucial role in how businesses navigated the pandemic. However, perceived satisfaction was not a significant predictor, suggesting that while businesses successfully adapted, these changes did not necessarily lead to higher customer satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of agile and customer-centric strategies, emphasizing that businesses must continue to evolve their operational approaches to survive and thrive in an increasingly uncertain environment

Published: September 2024

The study aimed to analyze variations in intelligence (IQ) across demographic factors, including gender, age, education, and geographical location, to explore their influence on IQ scores. Utilizing a cross-sectional quantitative research design and convenience sampling, data were analyzed using descriptive and cross-tabulation methods. The results showed no significant difference in IQ scores between males and females, challenging the initial hypothesis regarding gender differences. Additionally, no significant differences were found between age groups, contradicting the expectation that age would influence IQ, specifically through fluid and crystallized intelligence. In contrast, educational level showed a significant positive correlation with IQ scores, confirming the role of education in shaping intelligence. Geographical origin, particularly environmental factors such as access to education and nutrition, did not significantly affect IQ scores, likely due to the homogeneous socioeconomic conditions among the predominantly Java-based sample. These findings highlight the complexity of intelligence determinants and question prior assumptions about demographic influences on IQ

Understanding entrepreneurial success involves exploring various factors, including personality traits and their impact on business outcomes. This study explores the relationship between entrepreneurial personality archetypes and business success among SMEs in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 500 MSME entrepreneurs via paper-and-pen and online questionnaires. Pearson Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between business success and the Caregiver (r = 0.243), Seeker (r = 0.340), Lover (r = 0.227), Ruler (r = 0.316), Magician (r = 0.290), Sage (r = 0.277), and Jester (r = 0.235) archetypes. In contrast, the Destroyer archetype showed a negative correlation (r = -0.222). These findings suggest that archetypes promoting self-expression and personal growth positively influence entrepreneurial success, while those focusing on efficiency and results may hinder it. The study underscores the value of aligning personality traits with business strategies to improve outcomes and recommends further research on practical applications in entrepreneurial training programs
Prediction of Archetype Personality on Competence and Entrepreneurial Success: Phase-By-Phase Analysis
Authors:   Pancasila University, Wikantiyoso Bimo
Published: September 2024

This study aims to present a conceptual model and provide empirical evidence regarding entrepreneurial archetype and competence in influencing entrepreneurial success, particularly in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Previous research has found that individual factors such as personality and competence play a significant role in business success. However, the literature on entrepreneurial personality lacks discussion on the role of archetypes in business success. The archetype approach attempts to explain the basic patterns of personal dynamics in self-resource management and environmental interaction. This study uses the Hero's Journey archetype to explain the entrepreneurial journey, comprising 12 archetypes divided into three phases: initiation, journey, and return. The entrepreneurial competence approach by Spencer & Spencer, explaining 13 capabilities, and the business success concept by Kaplan & Norton, addressing financial, internal business processes, and employee satisfaction, are used. The study involves 500 entrepreneurs in Java using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results show that each phase of the archetype journey significantly affects entrepreneurial competence and success. This study offers a new understanding of entrepreneurial personality using the archetype approach, highlighting its importance in enhancing business success

The present study aims to determine the effect of educational and supportive packages by peers on the self-efficacy of mothers of premature neonates. In a quasi-experimental study, a total of 70 mothers with premature infants were randomly divided into two groups: control and intervention. The participants were selected through random sampling, and upon meeting the inclusion criteria and providing informed consent, they were invited to participate in the study. The recruitment of participants took place from July to December 2019. The initial part of the demographic form was completed by the mothers in both the intervention and control groups upon their entry into the study. The second instrument used for measuring self-efficacy was the perceived maternal parenting self-efficacy (PMP-SE) scale. Before the intervention was implemented, there was no statistically significant difference in the total self-efficacy scores between the two groups (P>0.05). Following the intervention, no significant change was noted in the intervention group when compared to the control group (P>0.05). However, a month after the intervention, a significant shift was detected in the dimension of care beliefs in the intervention group when compared to the control group (P=0.023). The findings of the current investigation indicate that the deployment of an educational-support package, administered by peer mothers, in the special care unit for newborns, resulted in an enhancement in the perceived situational beliefs of maternal self-efficacy among mothers of premature infants.

The black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) population vital state in the urban ecosystem
Authors: Kunakh O.
Published: September 2024

Many European countries have extensively practiced the cultivation of black locust. This species is characterised by rapid growth, the application possibility for degraded land reclamation and other useful properties, but its adventiveness and invasive status require more thorough research. The aim of the research was to assess the viability of a population of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) in urban environment by determining its vital status and measuring height of the plants and diameter of their trunks as the main morphometric indicators. The research was conducted in the recreational area of the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University Botanical Garden. There were recorded 178 plants of R. pseudoacacia. Tree heights were measured by a Suunto PM-5 mechanical height meter in three-time repetition for each plant, and the average value was calculated based on these data. The trunk diameter was measured at the small fork as a distance between two parallel tangents. The vital status of the trees was determined by the 5-point scale of V. A. Alekseev. The height of the vast majority of the studied trees varied 25 to 30 m. The height of one species representative reached 32 m. The trunk diameter of the most trees in the territory ranged 30 to 40 cm. Plants with a trunk diameter of between 40 cm and 50 cm were the next largest group. A 101 cm trunk diameter was found in just one tree. Most plants in the research area had a vitality score of 2 – good state. Accordingly, these were the plants that had the largest trunks of examined trees. The fewest number of plants was in a very bad state and had a score of 5. The good and satisfactory vital conditions were observed in plants whose trunks were the tallest and had the largest diameter, and whose morphometric indices slightly varied (the height-diameter trunk correlation was reliable). Plants in depressed and poor vital state were characterised by significant variability in the morphometric parameters (the correlation between height and trunk diameter was not reliable). The ecological condition of the black locust population in the area was assessed, and it was concluded that its morphometric parameters cannot be used as indicators of plant vitality.

In recent years, various datasets related to the phenotyping of sunflower genotypes have become increasingly accessible. However, one of the key challenges remains the efficient and accurate prediction of phenotypes based on genotypes in the context of climate change. Analyzing phenotypes at different levels of organization and detecting connections between phenotypes and genotypes require the integration and processing of large, diverse, and often noisy datasets. Machine learning offers a broad arsenal of methods and approaches for identifying predictive patterns in such data. Therefore, the research aimed to develop a methodology for the systematization of sunflower genotypes based on seed phenotypic characteristics using the data vector quantization method and neural networks. The study revealed the phenotypic characteristics of sunflower seeds from various genotypes selected by the Institute of Oilseed Crops of NAAS, grown in the southern Steppe of Ukraine, including seed length, width, thickness, seed mass, kernel mass, and seed coat cracking force. For this purpose, appropriate laboratory equipment was developed, including two modules for determining the morphological and rheological properties of seeds. The developed methodology for the systematization of sunflower genotypes based on seed phenotypic characteristics includes the following steps: measuring the characteristics of sunflower seeds from various samples (parental components); studying the mutual correlation of characteristics; conducting hierarchical cluster analysis of the data using the Ward's method; determining the optimal number of groups; performing k-means clustering using the vector quantization method; determining the correspondence of ranges of characteristics to the group; training a neural network to group the data by samples and created groups; verifying the adequacy of the neural network on test data. The developed methodology was tested, and the MLP 30-15-3 neural network for grouping data by samples and created groups of sunflower seeds was developed in the Statistica software package. The network's training efficiency was 99.4%, and such of testing and validation was 95.6% and 96.7%, respectively.

La investigación y el análisis semiótico son esenciales en la toma de decisiones de los diseñadores gráficos universitarios en la Universidad Anáhuac México. Este estudio analiza la relación entre dos asignaturas teóricas: Elementos de semiótica para el diseño y Seminario de investigación en diseño gráfico I y II. El objetivo es explorar cómo estas asignaturas capacitan a los estudiantes para aplicar bases teóricas y herramientas conceptuales en la interpretación de signos visuales y valores culturales, locales y globales. El enfoque es cualitativo-descriptivo, centrándose en los trabajos finales del Seminario de investigación en diseño gráfico II del 2023. Estos trabajos destacan la aplicación de conocimientos sobre percepción y metodologías para abordar problemáticas de responsabilidad social, especialmente en desafíos relacionados con la capacidad motriz y visual diversa. El estudio demuestra la importancia de integrar teoría y práctica para formar diseñadores versátiles y conscientes de su entorno social. Las conclusiones subrayan la necesidad de fortalecer la educación teórica para enfrentar los retos contemporáneos en el diseño gráfico.

Ungulates play vital roles in ecological systems, shaping plant biomass and diversity via herbivory and impacting soil properties through trampling and nutrient deposition. As ungulate communities fluctuate across the globe, the extent to which wild ungulates and domestic livestock can play similar ecological roles is an increasingly vital - and fraught - question. Here, we synthesized the literature directly comparing wild and domestic ungulate effects on above- and belowground ecosystem responses to assess the direction and relative strength of species’ impacts within shared environments. We then investigated the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms researchers identified as driving differences in ecosystem responses to wild and domestic ungulates. Overall, our synthetic review revealed that surprisingly few studies directly compare the effects of wild and domestic ungulates, and even fewer explicitly consider the mechanisms underlying observed outcomes. We found that wild and domestic ungulate effects on plant and soil variables are overwhelmingly similar in kind, differing in intensity rather than direction, with domestic ungulates exhibiting stronger effects on ecosystem responses. Specifically, livestock appear to reduce plant biomass and cover more than wild species, but wild ungulates exhibit more positive effects on plant diversity. Diet and stocking density were by far the most frequently referenced mechanisms explaining differences between wild and domestic ungulates, and other mechanisms (e.g. behavior, movement, veterinary treatments) were rarely considered, let alone tested explicitly. Thus, more intentional study of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors underlying ungulate effects on ecosystems, and particularly on belowground processes, is necessary for a more complete understanding of the functional interchangeability - or irreplaceability - of wild and domestic ungulates in a rapidly changing world.
Conscious Leadership for Modern Complexity

Published: September 2024

In this paper, we aim to discuss the essence of the concept of conscious leadership, highlighting the necessity as well as the relevance of engaging in conscious leadership as a way of addressing the modern business environment. Conscious leadership is introduced as the set of key concepts and features that are relevant to leadership today, supported by historical knowledge and modern findings. Atma Bodha (self-knowledge), Atma Chintan (self-contemplation), and Atma Manthan (self-churning) are essential components, as are the 7 A’s of conscious leadership: awake, aware, alive, alert, adaptable, accountable, and authentic. Reflective questions (RQs) serve as powerful tools for self-discovery, introspection, and critical thinking, leading to significant growth both personally and professionally. The study shows that conscious leadership promotes personal development, ethical decision-making, and collaborative teamwork. By embracing proactivity, problem-solving, and conflict management, leaders can effectively navigate challenges in today's business environment, leading to positive long-term organizational outcomes. Thus, this paper contributes to the construction of more enhanced leadership programs by establishing a clear outline of the path of conscious leadership.
Measuring and Analyzing the Impact of Government Public Spending on Higher Education and Its Role in Achieving Sustainable Development in Iraq for the Period (2003-2020)

Higher education institutions, especially universities, are an intellectual and scientific cultural center. The function of these institutions lies in behavioral and scientific aspects, such as building generations and developing scientific and cultural awareness in society, as higher education represents the most important pillars of the development of human societies and tools for their advancement due to the position it occupies in creating and preparing the technical and scientific frameworks qualified to achieve economic and social development. Developing and developed countries devote special efforts to supporting and developing the education sector, including Iraq, which gave increasing interest in the education sector, especially after 2003. This interest is attributed to the Iraqi government’s awareness that the reason for the country’s weak economic performance is the lack of cadres and levels of skilled labor that keep pace with the developments taking place. The world has led to a technological and knowledge gap with the developed world, and in order to achieve the process of sustainable development, education must be developed and expanded in its various stages and types, as it is the main source for providing the needs of the economic development sectors and supplying them with labor to implement sustainable development plans and in order to raise the educational level. Spending on the education sector must be increased to confront the rapid population growth, which leads to increased demand for educational services, which are among the rights guaranteed by the state to every individual, in addition to the need of developing countries, including Iraq, for specialized technical staff. The main problem for those countries is the role of education in achieving development in general and whether spending on education constitutes a burden on the sustainable development process in Iraq in particular. The results of the research indicated that there is a weakness in the process of government spending on higher education in Iraq, as the results showed research shows that the time series for the two variables are stable to the same degree; that is, there is a cointegration relationship between general government spending and spending on education, and the results were consistent with economic theory, as the relationship was positive and significant.
