Authors:   EEE Department Vidya Vikas Institute of Engineering and Technology, Mysuru, S Likitha
Published: May 2024

The Agriculture Monitoring System addresses pressing challenges in contemporary farming, notably ineffective soil moisture management and persistent threats of animal intrusion. Recent statistics indicate a global agricultural loss of 20% due to suboptimal soil moisture practices and animal-related damages. Existing monitoring systems fall short in providing a holistic solution, resulting in significant economic losses for farmers. In response, the proposed system integrates advanced technologies, including precise soil moisture sensors, infrared (IR) sensors for animal detection, and real-time visual monitoring via an ESP32 camera. Farmers can also monitor and control irrigation pumps and electric shock generators through their smartphones. This comprehensive approach aims to minimize yield losses, optimize resource utilization, and empower farmers with actionable insights for informed decision-making. By bridging critical gaps in agricultural monitoring and protection, the Agriculture Monitoring System emerges as a transformative solution with the potential to revolutionize and fortify global farming practices

Authors: Markonah Markonah , Kusnadi Kusnadi
Published: May 2024

This research aims to analyze the influence of investment knowledge, student perceptions, and technological advances on investment interests in Sharia capital markets. Employing a quantitative approach, the study utilizes non-probability sampling methods, specifically the convenience sample system, to select 312 active students from a total population of 5000 at Perbanas Institute. Double linear regression is employed for data analysis. The findings reveal significant implications for the role of technological advancements in shaping student investment interest in Sharia capital markets. Specifically, the study finds that the presence of technological advancements, such as applications and trading platforms, positively impacts student interest in investing in the Sharia market. However, contrary to expectations, investment knowledge and student perceptions do not demonstrate a significant influence on student investment interest in Sharia Capital markets. This suggests that despite possessing knowledge and certain perceptions, students' investment decisions in Sharia capital markets remain unaffected. The practical implications of these findings emphasizes the importance for students to remain abreast of technological advancements to potentially enhance their investment interest in Sharia capital markets.

Published: May 2024

This study delves into the factors impacting the adoption of true and fair financial reporting during the transition to accrual accounting in Malaysian Federal Statutory Bodies (FSB). Despite administrative reforms from the 1980s to the most recent reformation, Malaysia’s public sector performance has lagged, prompting this investigation into the adoption of Malaysian Public Sector Accounting Standards (MPSAS) and accrual accounting in response to the delayed performance of Malaysia's public sector. The research was based on self-administered, Five Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to all heads of public accountants in 132 FSBs. There were 99 questionnaires returned for analysis. The final analysis used 99 usable responses, and the data was analyzed using SPSS. The results indicated significant correlations between Economic Consequences, Political Interventions, and True and Fair View reporting. Economic consequences were found to have the most significant impact on true and fair reporting, supported nuanced relationships, and political interventions. The findings of the regression analysis provided evidence for intricate associations, however, it is important to realize some constraints methods were acknowledged, such as demographic limits and the reliance on quantitative methodologies. The independent Board of Directors (BOD) and the higher-level management ensure those factors, such as the impact of Political Interventions on the reporting process under their scrutiny, as well as take proactive implementation measures to prevent the escalation of the management level from worsening. Top management can ensure that, the economic decisions made have to be thorough, as they dramatically impact reporting. The study provides valuable insights into financial reporting dynamics, suggesting avenues for future research to address identified limitations and incorporate qualitative methodologies.

Authors: Razali Mohd Waliuddin Mohd , Lau Evan , Yau Damien Lee Iung , Bm Rossazana Ab Rahi
Published: May 2024

Malaysia's Income Tax Act of 1967 does not impose penalties on environmentally friendly companies engaged in tax planning. The primary objective of this study is to examine the relationship between a company's environmental activities and the tax planning of publicly listed companies in Malaysia. A sample of 158 publicly listed companies from various industries except for financial institutions in Bursa Malaysia will be used. The annual report included non-financial data such as the environmental responsibility variable. The annual report was also used to collect the remaining data including tax planning, profitability, size and debt ratio. The multiple regression analysis indicates that companies actively participating  in environmental initiatives are more inclined to adopt socially responsible tax practices to uphold their credibility among stakeholders. These companies reinforce their reputation as responsible corporate citizens committed to sustainability by demonstrating consistency between their environmental and tax practices. This study additionally revealed a positive relationship between larger companies and tax planning due to their greater access to resources and experience which enabled them to employ more advanced tax planning tactics. The utilization of permanent and temporary book tax differences (BTDs) as factors for tax planning presents a more sophisticated approach to evaluating corporate tax strategies as suggested by future research.

Land is one of the most important properties for the community and the state because it is very vulnerable to disputes and conflicts involving various parties. In land sale and purchase transactions, land buyers are required to pay the tax on Acquisition of Land and Building Rights (BPHTB) in advance personally before the binding of the sale and purchase deed. In practice, people often entrust BPHTB payments to the Official certifier of title deeds (PPAT) by considering the efficiency of the time and process, it is not uncommon for PPAT to assist and represent in terms of tax payments, especially BPHTB. However, PPAT’s authority is actually only limited to making deeds regarding land rights or property rights over apartment units located in its working area as explained in Government Regulation Number 37 of 1998 concerning Regulations on the Position of Official certifier of title deedss which was later amended by Government Regulation Number 24 of 2016. The research uses the Juridical-normative method (legal research), namely legal research using legal norms as the object of research based on an internal perspective that is able to provide legal arguments when conflicts, vagueness, or legal vacuum are found.

Authors: Ribeiro Lucia Maria Moutinho
Published: May 2024

O trabalho aborda O Delfim, romance de José Cardoso Pires, publicado em 1968, sob a perspectiva do “efeito rashomon”. Este conceito advém do filme homônimo de Akira Kurosawa, que apresenta quatro versões de improváveis testemunhas de um crime, ocorrido sob o portal Rashomon. Como apoio metodológico, serve-se da definição do conceito, fornecida por Médola e Santos, no artigo intitulado “Um olhar semiótico sobre o efeito rashomon” (2021). Seguindo pistas e supostas evidências, propõe uma interpretação das mortes das personagens Maria das Mercês e Domingos e do desaparecimento de Tomás Manuel de Palma Bravo, respectivamente, marido e patrão daqueles, a partir de imagens extraídas do próprio texto e com base em Brandão (1986), Freud (1980), Jung (apud Jacobi, 1986) e Levi-Strauss (1966). Aquele recurso faculta, pois, ao leitor, como um detetive, que no texto não há, criar uma teoria própria, a partir dos relatos das demais personagens, a Dona da Pensão, o Velho Cauteleiro, o Batedor, o Regedor, juntando peças, tal como se comportam os detetives das narrativas policiais.

Tuberculosis (TB) merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh bakteri mycobacterium tuberculosis, patogen yang paling sukses menginfeksi paru-paru. Teknik diagnosis penyakit TB yang paling sering digunakan adalah melalui pemeriksaan rontgen thorax (paru-paru). Hasil rontgen dapat dilihat secara citra/visual oleh dokter untuk melihat apakah terdapat ciri dan pola adanya penyakit TB pada pasien. Pada penelitian ini befokus pada Artificial Intelligence (AI) untuk membantu dokter dan memberikan alternatif solusi yang efisien dalam mendiagnosa pasien, apakah pasien tersebut menderita TB atau tidak dengan lebih cepat. Penelitian ini dirancang menggunakan Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) untuk mengklasifikasi penyakit tuberculosis berdasarkan citra rontgen thorax. Data yang digunakan berupa citra X-ray thorax yang digunakan sebagai input untuk proses image processing. Dataset yang dikumpulkan berjumlah 1400 data yang terdiri dari 2 kelas yaitu paru-paru normal dan paru-paru penderita tuberculosis. Model CNN terdiri dari 3 lapisan konvolusi yang berukuran 3x3, 3 lapisan penggabungan (Maxpool) berukuran 2x2 dan 1 lapisan fully connected yang menggunakan aktivasi softmax. Filter yang digunakan pada setiap lapisan konvolusi adalah 128. Penelitian ini menggunakan algoritma Adam Optimizer. Dataset dibagi menjadi 1120 data pada skenario 1 dan 978 data pada skenario 2 untuk training atau latih dan 280 data pada skenario 1 dan 422 data pada skenario 2 untuk testing atau uji. Dalam proses pelatihan, digunakan nilai epoch 20 diperoleh nilai akurasi sebesar 100% pada semua skenario. Pada tahap pengujian dihasilkan nilai akurasi sebesar 99,29% pada skenario 1 dan 97,67% pada skenario 2.

Acute appendicitis is the main cause of non-obstetric surgery in pregnant women. In the past, the main approach was to seek as little intervention as possible, at least until a more advanced gestational age was reached. However, recent studies show that early intervention has several benefits for both the mother and the fetus. Today, it is understood that regardless of the trimester of pregnancy, diagnosis and treatment need to be carried out as soon as possible in order to avoid future complications. The main therapeutic method is laparoscopic appendectomy. This literature review seeks to bring together the main findings in recent years on the positive and negative aspects of laparoscopic appendectomy in pregnant women, in order to understand whether it is in fact the best method currently available for this type of situation.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a clinical condition of significant importance, given its potential to generate serious sequelae if it is not properly identified and treated. Among these sequelae is infertility, the relationship between which and the presence of PID is well established. The incidence of infertility is particularly exacerbated by persistent, recurrent and inadequately treated infections, causing considerable psychological distress for the women and couples affected. A proactive approach to the early identification and treatment of PID is fundamental to mitigating the risk of infertility and its emotional repercussions. In addition, raising awareness of risk factors and adopting preventative measures are equally crucial in promoting women's reproductive health and reducing the incidence of PID-related complications.

Introduction: Adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare, recessive, hereditary genetic disease, linked to the X chromosome, with degenerative and incurable characteristics, which preferentially affects males. It directly affects the non-development of the adrenal/suprarenal glands and the white matter of the brain due to the accumulation of long-chain fatty acids in these sites, causing destabilization of the myelin sheath and affecting the transmission of nerve impulses. Objective: The aim of this study is based on the scarcity of literature on this rare pathology, which affects around 1:15,000 to 25,000 individuals, in an attempt to portray the clinical course of this disease. Case presentation: A 34-year-old male patient, diagnosed with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy following an investigation into the death of his 13-year-old brother with the disease, has been under multidisciplinary follow-up since diagnosis, with genetics, endocrinology, neurology and psychology teams, undergoing annual consultations and control laboratory tests, as well as a brain MRI. At the age of 19, she informed us that she did not wish to have a bone marrow transplant. She has been followed up clinically ever since. Discussions: The diagnosis can be made in prenatal tests, the gold standard score for grading the pathology is the LOES score, totaling 34 points, according to the patient's score, it is possible to see if they will benefit from treatment.
