Organizational progress in the 21st century is based on the efficiency and sophistication of technology known as Artificial Intelligence. However, human capabilities should not be taken lightly, as the creation of technology is the result of the creative thinking and innovation of an organization’s employees. While previous research has primarily shown that creative thinking can lead to performance outcomes, from angles the impact of emotional intelligence and employee personality on this connection remains unclear. As a result this study was conducted to examine the correlation between intelligence, personality traits and creativity among staff members at a non-statutory bodies in Malaysia. A total of 165 Muslim employees took part in the survey. The questionnaire data was analyzed using SmartPLS software to assess the research hypotheses. The analysis revealed findings; Firstly there is a positive and significant association between emotional intelligence and personality traits; secondly there is a positive and significant link between personality traits and employee creativity; thirdly there is a positive and significant relationship among emotional intelligence, trait personality and employee creativity. These results confirm that personality traits act as a mediating factor in the relationship between intelligence and employee creativity. Additionally this study aids experts in recognizing the importance of intelligence and personality traits in enhancing employee creativity. Creative thinking has become a tool in driving success and improving sustainability performance. This research offers insights into how to harness employees abilities to manage emotions and understand themselves for development. Moreover it provides guidance, for formulating strategies to navigate organizations through challenges.

Authors: Abdul Latiff Abdul Halim , Sheng Kew Jing , Lubis Luluan Almanna
Published: February 2024

Located within the Sabah Basin, SB field is located in the vicinity of Baram Delta province and consist of a broad spectrum of sand/shale content facies, thus creating the heterolithic sandstone in the basin. The presence of a high amount of clay within the sandstone had raised some issues in interpreting the target reservoirs, due to the lack of understanding of the characteristics of clays in the reservoirs. In this work, several good logs and seismic data were integrated to construct a numerical model of rock physics which then used to evaluate the effects of clay on rock physics properties. From the rock physics models, the relationship between the clays and rock properties were examined that eventually qualitatively assessed the quality of the reservoirs.

The northeast monsoon brings a significant physical change to the shores of Terengganu, east coast Peninsular Malaysia. The change in wave magnitude is thought to be the main agent for this change. Though this naturally occurring phenomenon brings changes to the coastal area, this is somehow compensated naturally in the following southwest monsoon season change. The point of interest that triggered this study is the presence and effect of humanmade structures in the vicinity of the coastal area that brings further deterioration to these areas. The methods used to identify the erosional process at the coastal areas are mainly the total station method; measuring the width of beach at different tide levels as well as the grain size distribution of sediments washed onto the beach. This method was done to classify the mean, sorting and skewness of the sediments deposited. With this data, obtained at the start of monsoon season and during the occurrence, the difference between these two timelines can be graphed to depict a clearer picture. The positive trend of deposition can be observed to almost all the stations with an exception to a few stations due to the presence of the groin. Result obtained indicates that Teluk Lipat beaches mainly dominated by very coarse to coarse-grained based on the calculation of the mean. The skewness holds a positive trend before the monsoon and negatively skewed during the pre-monsoon. Through heavy mineral analysis, there are variants of minerals that were identified within all samples point in Teluk Lipat Beach. Quartz mainly dominates the majority minerals found in the sample, followed by other minerals that have shown its presence in previous stations, such as tourmaline, iron oxide and andalusite. This analysis was carried out to highlight the mineral origin before it was deposited in the coastal area.Keywords: density, mean, panning, quartz, skewness, sorting, total station
CHROMIUM REMOVAL FROM TANNERY WASTEWATER: A REVIEW
Authors: Dabai Aminu Isiya , Mohammed Kasim
Published: February 2024

Tanning process generates high strength wastewater containing heavy metals, nutrients, organic and inorganic contaminants, which may adversely affect public health and the environment. The wastewater contains considerable amounts of heavy metals including Cr(VI) which is carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic, and persistent in the environment. Several physico-chemical treatment approaches were employed in tannery wastewater treatment and proved to considerably reduce the level of toxic Cr and other pollutants to low concentrations. Despite the capabilities of physico-chemical treatment methods in treating high concentrations of toxic effluents, they are associated with setbacks including low removal efficiencies, high cost of chemicals, high energy requirement as well as low nutrients removal from the wastewater stream. Microalgal wastewater treatment systems can play an important role in bioremediation of tannery effluent and are considered as low-cost, efficient treatment alternatives that can potentially remove organic and inorganic contaminants, heavy metals, and possibly reduce the toxic Cr (VI) to a much less toxic Cr (III), especially when coupled with activated carbon.Keywords: microalgae, effluent, chromium, activated sludge, absorption, heavy metals

Published: February 2024

Peat is one of the Quaternary sediments found in the Kuala Langat area. Peat contains organic matter where its high natural water content can cause the subsurface to becomes unstable and unsuitable for supporting any building structures. It can either react with a steady settlement, which is generally less harmful or suddenly experience shear failure of the peat, causing sudden subsidence. This study aims to characterise a subsurface peat layer by integrating borehole data and hand auger samples with electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) results. The collected soil samples physical and chemical properties were analysed to determine its moisture content, total organic content (TOC) and von Post’s degree of humification. Three electrical resistivity survey lines were conducted using Wenner-Schlumberger protocol at certain key locations in the study area to map the vertical subsurface electrical resistivity profile. The studies show that the thickness of the peat layer from the borehole data and hand auger data is perfectly matched with the electrical resistivity pseudo section. The study area is covered up to 5 meters thick of peat with a resistivity value ranging from 16 Ωm to 24 Ωm, followed by a thick layer of marine clay with a resistivity value ranging from 24 Ωm to 46 Ωm. This study can support the engineer’s selection of site suitability and equipment for engineering construction.Keywords: electrical resistivity imaging (ERI), peat characterisation, peat resistivity, soil sampling

Authors: Boon Li Alex Teh , Soleimani Hassan , Yusuf Jemilat Yetunde , Chuan Lee Kean
Published: February 2024

In this paper, BFO NPs were synthesized to prepare nanofluid using the nitric-assisted sol-gel method followed by calcination at different temperatures 200, 350, 500, and 650°C. Sandstone samples were then saturated with as-prepared nanofluids for electromagnetic properties measurements. The effect of calcination temperature on the structural and morphological aspect of BFO NPs was studied using XRD and FESEM. The electromagnetic absorption of the saturated sandstones was measured using the vector network analyzer at X band frequency. The measured scattering parameters were validated with simulation using the finite element method. The simulation results showed that the maximum absorption from the simulation for each sample are 5.73, 5.93, 36.60, 33.19, 36.13dB for Sbrine, S200, S350, S500, S650, respectively. On the other hand, experimental results showed that the maximum absorption for Sbrine, S200, S350, S500, and S650 is 51.93, 11.63, 8.98, 7.79, 6.97dB, respectively. BFO NPs calcinated at 650°C have the best permittivity values of 10.08 and 3.27 and have the highest real permeability value of 1.22 compared to other samples. Conclusively, the BFO nanoparticle calcinated at 650°C shows the best potential for enhanced oil recovery, which can be selected for further study for EOR application.Keywords: Nanofluid, porous rock, calcination, microwave absorption, BiFeO3 NPs, sol-gel
HUBO & QUBO and Prime Factorization
Authors: Rahmeh Samer , Neumann Adam
Published: February 2024

This document details the methodology and steps taken to convert Higher Order Unconstrained Binary Optimization (HUBO) models into Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) models. The focus is primarily on prime factorization problems; a critical and computationally intensive task relevant in various domains including cryptography, optimization, and number theory. The conversion from Higher-Order Binary Optimization (HUBO) to Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) models is crucial for harnessing the capabilities of advanced computing methodologies, particularly quantum computing and DYNEX neuromorphic computing. Quantum computing offers potential exponential speedups for specific problems through its intrinsic parallelism capabilities. Conversely, DYNEX neuromorphic computing enhances efficiency and accelerates the resolution of intricate, pattern-oriented tasks by simulating memristors in GPUs, employing a highly decentralized approach, via Blockchain technology. This transformation enables the exploitation of these cutting-edge computing paradigms to address complex optimization challenges effectively. Through detailed explanations, mathematical formulations, and algorithmic strategies, this document aims to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing the conversion process from HUBO to QUBO. It underscores the importance of such transformations in making prime factorization computationally feasible on both existing classical computers and emerging computing technologies.

Published: February 2024

The text analyzes the conflict raised around water in the ñäñho community of Santiago Mexquititlán, which was presented from the taking of a water well and continued with the protection before the enactment of the Law regarding water in the state of Querétaro of the year 2022. The work exposes the methodological approach of Participatory Action Research and ethnography for the description and contextualized analysis of the conflict of uses, management, social organization and cultural elements around water. The objective was to recover these aspects for the elaboration of an anthropological expertice. The theoretical reading was based on cultural materialism and political anthropology to highlight the conflict between the State and socio-cultural formations... Finally, it is concluded that the care and management of water in the community, is based and strengthened in the organizational tradition, in the ritual cycles, in the myths and beliefs of their culture. Therefore, the cultural reproduction of the people is intrinsically related to the water resource, to the extent that it depends for its care and good management in the place, of the practices, knowledge and beliefs of the Ñäñho culture.

Published: February 2024

This paper's main objective is to evaluate water erosion, and its effect on soil management and conservation practices in the subbasin Jalpan Dam, located at The Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve in the State of Queretaro in northern Mexico. This paper was elaborated in four stages: 1) Analysis of soil conservation practices at the study area, with information collected through semi-structured interviews and field verification; 2) Measurement of the effect in soil’s conservation practices on soil’s erodibility, by taking soil samples and in situ measurements on paired plots; 3) Estimation of water erosion and identification of priority areas for its management, by applying the USLE model of Wischmeier and Smith (1978) and the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems); 4) Estimation of sediment contribution to the Jalpan dam, using the methodology of Aveldaño et al. (1994). As a result, 40 polygons with soil’s conservation practices were located within the Jalpan Dam sub-basin, distributed mainly in the high functional zone. 22 of the 40 polygons were visited, in which 6 types of practices were spotted: reforestations with pine-cedar, maguey lines, agricultural terraces, stone barriers, stone dams and brushwood check dams. The results show deterioration on the structures, more than 30% of them require maintenance and 20% are clogged. Vegetative practices have had little success, reflected in low plant densities and low survival. As a result of the conservation practices evaluations in soil’s erodibility, it was found that in 8 of the 9 sites evaluated, the practices decreased the susceptibility of the soil to erode. It is important to establish systematic supervising mechanisms to ensure proper evaluation of every soil conservation practice condition and function.

Introduction: A Research Manuscript (RM) in clinical areas allows the dissemination of new preventive diagnostic methods, as well as innovative therapeutic interventions that can improve health problems. However, an improperly prepared RM has a high probability of being rejected. Considering the above, the objective of this document was to describe the process for the preparation and drafting of a RM.

Methodology: By generating a non-systematic bibliographic search, a narrative review was carried out that described the process of preparing a RM in clinical research projects.

Results: The process of carrying out a RM implies accommodating the content of a research in different sections. However, it is suggested to start with the writing of the Methodology section and, later, present the most important findings in the Results section. Subsequently, the most important elements and objectives of the RM are exposed in the Introduction section, leaving the elaboration of the Discussion until the end. After finishing the above, the abstract and the title of the manuscript can now be written and, before sending the RM for publication, the Guidelines For Authors of the selected Journal must be reviewed.

Conclusion: A systematic approach when preparing a manuscript, as well as an adequate theoretical and methodological foundation for its most important sections, facilitate its publication in Journals with Higher Impact Factors. Given this, it is important to encourage both students, as well as health professionals, to know the benefits of the dissemination of their research.

Authors: Agnes Marpaung Ronauli , Retnawati Sihombing Fina
Published: February 2024

Background: Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepithelial disease. It was associated with autoantibodies targeting hemidesmosome protein BPAG1 and BPAG2. The incidence of bullous pemphigoid has increased 1.9-4.3 times in the past two decades, possibly due to increased life expectancy, medication use, and improved diagnostic methods. Trigger factors of BP included drugs, physical factors, radiotherapy, trauma, and thermal exposure.
The aim: This study aims to determine association between medication use and bullous pemphigoid.
Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2014 and 2024 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and ScienceDirect, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Results: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 1,662 articles, whereas the results of our search on ScienceDirect brought up 1,143 articles. The results of the search conducted by title screening yielded a total of 13 articles for PubMed and 32 articles for ScienceDirect. We compiled a total of 26 papers, 8 of which came from PubMed and 18 of which came from ScienceDirect. We excluded 2 review articles, 1 duplicate article, 3 non-full text articles, and 3 articles having insufficient outcomes. In the end, we included seventeen research that met the criteria.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and aldosterone antagonists are associated with BP. Other medications, such as immunomodulatory agents, anticonvulsants, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antibiotics, anticoagulants, diuretics, and mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, may be associated with BP. Regarding these results, clinicians should pay close attention to prescribing the medicine to their patients.

“La textura percibida al comer un helado es la manifestación sensorial de su microestructura, en consecuencia,la microestructura es el corazón de la ciencia del helado”. Clarke, Chris (2004). Debido al incremento en el consumo de productos más saludables, bajos en grasa, sin azúcares añadidos, entre otros, la industria de helados ha trabajado muchos años buscando una combinación de ingredientes que simule las funciones de la grasa en la estructura del helado, uno de los puntos más importantes para su comercialización es su estabilidad térmica y el tiempo de derretimiento, pues deben soportar cambios de temperatura en todas las etapas en la cadena de fabricación, distribución y punto de venta. Michel Lipsch, señala que al re-congelar el helado, el agua se cristaliza y se forman cristales de hielo más grandes”, los cuales afectan directamente el estado, la consistencia y la experiencia sensorial al consumo del helado. + Con el fin de probar diferentes combinaciones de ingredientes y evaluar la estabilidad térmica y calidad final, se realizan cuatro formulaciones de producto bajo en grasa y sin azúcares añadidos, dos fórmulas base láctea y dos base agua, sometiéndose al Tratamiento “Estabilidad al choque térmico” (Heat Shock Stability Treatment), Se determinó que la fórmula más estable fue B003A base agua, seguido de B001L base leche, así mismo se determinó que entre mayor sea la percepción de cristales de hielo se incrementa la velocidad de derretimiento del helado, otra característica poco deseable"

Authors: Rosyidi Maulana , Sutarto Auditya Purwandini , Izzah Nailul
Published: February 2024

A majority of the rice milling process in Indonesia has been categorized as small and medium enterprises that rely heavily on human labor during their operations. Such activities put human operators at high ergonomic risks, particularly in relation to the onset of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to postural stress, repetitive exertions, and sustained or static exertions. Ignorance of these ergonomic risk factors is likely to cause permanent disabilities in the future. As such, this study aims to identify ergonomics risk factors in the milling rice process using both the subjective method by Nordic Body Map Questionnaire and the observation method through Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). The results show that all milling rice operators reported symptoms in their shoulders and low back pain. The final score of RULA was seven or very high risk, indicating that investigation and changes are required immediately. A redesign of the existing step ladder was proposed, developed by an anthropometry-based design approach. The proposed design is expected could reduce the score to 4 or medium risk level

Phosphorus is an essential, but often unavailable nutrient for plant growth in the soil due to its low solubility. Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) convert insoluble forms of phosphorus into soluble forms that can be taken up by plants. The study aimed to isolate and characterize PSB from the rhizosphere of millet plants in Lafia, and to evaluate their potential for improving soil fertility and crop productivity. Soil samples were collected from four different locations and plated on Pikovskaya's agar medium. PSB colonies were identified based on their ability to produce clear zones around them. The PSB isolates were further characterized by morphological, biochemical, and molecular methods. The phosphate solubilizing activity and plant growth-promoting traits of the PSB isolates were also assessed. The PSB isolates were tested for their effect on the growth of millet seedlings in pots. The results showed that 16 PSB isolates belonging to four genera (Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, and Klebsiella) were obtained from the soil samples. The PSB isolates exhibited varying degrees of phosphate solubilizing activity, ranging from 11.2 to 81.6 mg/L. The PSB isolates also showed positive results for the production of indole acetic acid, ammonia, hydrogen-cyanide, and siderophore. The PSB inoculation significantly increased the shoot and root lengths, and fresh and dry weight of the millet seedlings. The study concluded that the PSB isolates from the millet rhizosphere in Lafia could enhance soil phosphorus availability and millet growth. The study recommended further research on the field application and optimization of the PSB inoculation.
