Enhancing Informal Education with Robotic Process Automation
Authors: Nakić Jelena , Boban Dora
Published: June 2024

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a cutting-edge technology that empowers software robots to perform repetitive digital tasks based on predefined rules. Traditionally, these tasks are carried out by humans interacting with various software applications through mouse and keyboard actions. RPA robots excel at emulating human actions with exceptional precision, speed, and consistency. RPA has gained widespread popularity across industries for its capacity to streamline business processes, increase productivity, and reduce operational costs. In educational settings, RPA is becoming an integral part of broader digital transformations. The related work discussed in this paper highlights that RPA is commonly utilized to automate administrative tasks for university staff, teachers, and occasionally students, while its potential applications in the learning process remain largely unexplored. Addressing this research gap, we introduce an innovative approach to leverage RPA in informal learning. Our method focuses on automating the course search process on e-learning platforms. The proposed algorithm includes interaction with platform interface, extraction of essential course details, storing retrieved data, and generating structured reports, all while communicating with various systems. Subsequently, we present a solution developed based on this approach, along with its outcomes, evaluation, and discussion of findings.

Geneologi Tradisi Ilmiah Navigasi Bugis: Studi Historis Perkembangan Navigasi Bugis dalam Astronomi Islam
Authors: Basir Fathur Rahman , Nur Aisyah Nur Aisyah
Published: June 2024

Navigation in general is directing a ship on a voyage or a way to determine the position and direction of travel both on the actual terrain and on the map. Shipping activities are seen as a medium of community communication in one region with other regions. Bugis tribe is one of the nations of the archipelago that is oriented to the sea, and many create a tradition and culture in shipping activities. This journal discusses the roots of bugis navigation in the 17th century that marked the development of Islamic civilization in the midst of the culture of Bugis society. The 17th century in a Bugis society was an era where Islam and culture were integrated but remained in accordance with Islamic values. This can be found in ancient manuscripts sourced from the literature of the Buginese community. The journal also shows that before the advent of modern navigation tools, Bugis sailors relied on their ability and experience to sail, utilizing natural phenomena both in the sky and at sea. Like using the wind, moon, and stars.

Pengaruh Peredaran Bumi Terhadap Penentuan Awal Waktu Salat Perspektif Fikih Ibadah dan Astronomi
Authors: Dwi Utami  , Amir Rahma , Mustafa Adriana
Published: June 2024

Abstrak
Waktu salat ditetapkan berdasarkan kedudukan matahari diukur dari suatu tempat di permukaan bumi. Menghitung waktu salat pada hakekatnya adalah menghitung posisi matahari sesuai dengan kriteria yang ditetapkan. Posisi matahari tidak selalu sama di setiap harinya, hal ini karena revolusi bumi yang menyebabkan gerak semu harian matahari sehingga memungkinkan wakktu salat kita tidak sama setiap hari.
Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian pustaka (library research) dalam artian mencari artikel, skripsi, jurnal dan buku yang berhubungan dengan judul penulis. Adapun pendekatan yang penulis gunakan adalah pendekatam syar’i dan pendekatan astronomis. Menurut sumber datanya, data penelitian dibagi menjadi dua data, yakni data primer dan data sekunder.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Perspektif fikih ibadah terhadap peredaran bumi dalam penentuan waktu salat yaitu pada waktu Zuhur saat matahari tergelincir, waktu Asar saat bayang-bayang benda melebihi panjang bendanya atau 2 kali panjang bendanya, waktu Magrib saat tenggelamnya matahari, waktu Isya pada saat hilangnya mega merah, dan waktu subuh pada saat terbit fajar shadiq. Adapun perkembangan ilmu astronomi terhadap penentuan awal waktu salat yaitu pada awalnya manusia menentukan dengan melihat langsung perubahan bayangan matahari. Lalu seiring berkembangnya zaman muncul beberapa alat tradisional dan modern, perhitungan waktu salat menggunakan data astronomis yang akurat, aplikasi dan software tentang jadwal waktu salat sehingga  memudahkan umat islam dalam menentukan dan melaksanakan salat.

Variability of concentrations of phosphorus forms under the conditions of weir renovation – The Głuszynka river-lake system case study Variability of concentrations of phosphorus forms under the conditions of weir renovation – The Głuszynka river-lake system case study
Authors: Janicka Ewelina , Kanclerz Jolanta , Agaj Tropikë , Policht-Latawiec Agnieszka
Published: June 2024

To fill the knowledge gap on the functioning of the river-lake system during the modernisation of the weir, an analysis of the variability of selected physico-chemical indicators was carried out. In the parameter analysis, particular emphasis was placed on phosphorus (P) and orthophosphate(V) (OP) content in the hydrological year 2022 and water quality was compared before, during and after the maintenance work on the discharge weir. Physico- chemical parameters were analysed monthly at four stations. Concentrations of P and OP increased significantly as a result of the refurbishment works at the measurement point located downstream of the weir (P4), which contributed to the determination of a statistically significant change point. At the same time, when high P and OP contents were observed, high electrolytic conductivity and ammonium nitrogen in water were also recorded. The content of P and OP indicators was further reduced, but their content was still several times higher than before the renovation. The renovation of the weir below Lake Jeziory Wielkie contributed to a significant deterioration of water quality in the river-lake system. Due to the nature of this system, this was of great importance for the downstream reservoirs. The statistical analysis showed that the renovation of the weir below Lake Jeziory Wielkie contributed to a significant deterioration of water quality in the river-lake system.
Is the ambiguity of emotion multidimensional? The ambiguous valence, activation and origin of emotions
Authors: Wielgopolan Adrianna , Imbir Kamil K.
Published: June 2024

Mixed emotions remain a fascinating, yet still understudied phenomenon. All of the previous research has focused solely on ambivalence, studying only the mix of positivity and negativity in emotions (the dimensions of valence). We sum up the already existing knowledge about the dimensional approach to ambivalence and its consequences. Based directly on this knowledge, we introduce a new theoretical model describing ambiguity in four additional dimensions (apart from valence), grouped into two bivariate spaces: origin (dimensions of automaticity and reflectiveness) and activation (arousal and subjective significance). Both of these spaces have never been studied before in the context of ambiguity and mixed feelings. Future implications of the new model are discussed, including any potential impact on the methodology of research and the possible advantages in understanding and describing emotional experiences.
The Rare Earth Element Distribution in Marine Carbonates as a Potential Proxy for Seawater pH on Early Earth
Authors: Lin Ping-Chun , Catling David C.
Published: June 2024

Understanding the marine environment of early Earth is crucial for understanding the evolution of climate and early life. However, the master variable of Archean and Proterozoic seawater, the pH, is poorly constrained, and published ideas about the pH range encompass ~7 pH units from mildly acidic to hyperalkaline. To better infer ancient seawater pH, we examine the possibility of a seawater pH proxy using rare earth elements (REEs) in marine carbonates. The principle is based on increasing concentrations of heavy rare earth elements in solution relative to the light REEs with decreasing pH due to REE complexation and scavenging. We calibrated such an REE pH proxy using pH variability in modern seawater and tested the proxy with ~100 REE measurements from 13 separate carbonate formations. We compared our pH estimates derived from the REE proxy to published pH estimates of Cenozoic and Neoproterozoic seawater that use the established pH proxy of boron isotopes (δ11B). REE-pH estimates agree with the Cenozoic and the Ediacaran δ11B-pH proxy based on the type of carbonate and boron isotopic composition at corresponding times. The uncertainty in our REE-pH proxy can probably be explained by model assumptions, noise from freshwater influence, siliciclastic input, and diagenesis. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates that the REE-pH method provides pH estimates comparable to boron isotope pH estimates within uncertainties, which potentially could constrain changes in Precambrian seawater pH to better understand the coevolution of life and early Earth’s environment.
MaxEnt modelling for predicting habitat suitability and future range of Black-breasted Parrotbill (Paradoxornis flavirostris Gould, 1836) in Northeast India
Authors: Bora Chiranjib , Saikia Prasanta Kumar
Published: June 2024

Habitat suitability models are powerful tools in predicting species distributions and assessing the potential impacts of environmental changes. In this article, a habitat suitability model was developed for Paradoxornis flavirostris, a threatened (Vulnerable) bird species found in the northeastern part of India, using remote sensing data and machine learning techniques. The occurrence records for P. flavirostris were considered from primary as well as multiple secondary sources like GBIF & eBird, and bioclimatic variables such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity were collected from www.worldclim.org. Then, MaxEnt algorithm was used to model the habitat suitability of P. flavirostris based on the collected data. Additionally, the model was also run to project the future range of P. flavirostris under different climate change scenarios. The model also predicts potentially suitable habitats for P. flavirostris outside of its current range, suggesting areas where the species may expand or contract its distribution in the future. This research provides valuable insights into the habitat suitability and potential range dynamics of P. flavirostris, and can inform conservation planning and management efforts for this threatened bird species.

Authors: Mahfoudh Slim , Abdallah Takwa , Gaf Estabrak Ismael Hama Murad Al
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This research aims to argue that the inconclusive evidence of the relationship between corporate governance and performance may be due to the moderating effect of gender diversity on the board.
 
Design/methodology/approach: The study is based on a sample of 16 companies listed on the Tunisian Stock Exchange (BVMT) over the period 2009-2021. A moderating regression analysis inspired this research.
 
Findings: Specifically, corporate governance appears to have a positive effect on firm performance only in countries with above-average board diversity. The effect of corporate governance on performance decreases as board diversity decreases. The results are robust to different measures of board gender diversity and firm performance, changes in estimation methods, changes in sample structure, and tokenism.
 
Originality/value: This article extends the existing literature by examining the moderating effect of gender diversity on boards of directors on the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance.

Published: June 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to understand German colonization in Panambi, a city located in the Northwest of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, by understanding it as a complex process that involves a variety of historical, economic, social, political and cultural factors of varied dimensions that intertwine to shape the unique character of the city in the light of Lutheranism.
 
Theoretical Framework: Protestantism played a significant role in the formation of the developmental spirit in the South of Brazil, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Colonies in the South of Brazil and Lutheranism are deeply interconnected, mainly through German immigration, given that these immigrants brought with them cultural, religious and social practices that significantly shaped the region.
 
Method: The research follows methodological paths of an applied nature and a qualitative approach. Regarding procedures, a bibliographic review, documentary research and case study are used. Data interpretation is anchored in categorical content analysis.
 
Results and Discussion: The research results point to local development, the emergence of companies, with community ties strengthening the tripod: religion, school and work. A process of cultural identification in the municipality had strong German influences, from the religious Lutheranism, focused on the world of work. This journey contributed to the strengthening and dissemination of a social imaginary that reinforces the relationship between colonization and the Lutheran Church, and, associated with it, the school, which sustains and preserves German culture, generating “Germanness”. Thus, this peculiarity lived and experienced by the social agents who colonized Panambi, created a social system that, although in constant adaptation, maintains the relationship between Germanness, church, entrepreneurship to boost local development.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by addressing the sociocultural formation of the city of Panambi, given that this development shapes the unique characteristics of the city, influencing its growth, urban structure, social dynamics and cultural identity.

Published: June 2024

Objective: This study aims to utilize the MATESH-H tool (Oliveira, 2024) to assess the implementation stage of ESG criteria in accommodation operations within Brazilian tourist destinations.
 
Method: The methodology adopted is qualitative and descriptive. We conducted a case study on accommodation in a tourist destination in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
 
Results and discussion: The strategic organization was strategic in the maturity stage 3 (Management), in addition to already having structured processes and significant involvement with ESG principles, going beyond legal obligations. However, the environmental axis was identified as the weak point, being at the lowest level of maturity. This highlights the need to focus efforts on improving environmental practices to achieve systemic evolution.
 
Research Implications: The research suggests that understanding current positioning relative to ESG criteria is crucial for guiding strategic planning and establishing realistic goals for improvement. The application of the MATESG-H tool can contribute to the integration of sustainable practices in accommodation operations and systemically improve hotel management.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes by highlighting the importance of applying the MATESG-H tool in assessing the level of ESG maturity. In addition to providing relevant information for managers, the research enriches academic, political, and business debates about ESG, encouraging new research and providing performance indicators that are more aligned with the informational needs of organizations.

Authors:   Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Novaković Branislava N. , Novaković-Marinković Nina
Published: June 2024

In this paper we investigate stability of an axially loaded nano beam that is clamped at one end and elastically restrained against rotation on the other. We analyze elastically buckling nano beam based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. The Euler method of adjacent equilibrium configuration is used to derive the nonlinear governing equations. The critical axial force and postbuckling shape are obtained for the beam with the unit cross-sectional area. New numerical results are obtained. The numerical analysis includes the influence of the characteristic parameter of the small scale length on the critical load and the postbuckling shape.
A COMPOSITIONAL ENCODING OF π-CALCULUS INTO Cπ-CALCULUS
Authors:   Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Prokić Ivan
Published: June 2024

Recently, a fragment of the π-calculus, named Cπ-calculus, has been introduced as a model for confidential name passing in concurrent systems. The key feature of the Cπ-calculus is disabling forwarding in name passing. It has been shown that even being a fragment of the πcalculus, it is possible to recover the full π-expressivity in this fragment. This was done via an encoding of π-processes into the Cπ-processes and showing that such an encoding satisfies some desired properties. However, one property this encoding does not satisfy is compositionality. In this paper, we propose a new encoding that satisfies this property. We evaluate the encoding with an example and leave the proof of operational correspondence for future work.

Background: As an emerging infectious disease, COVID-19 has led to overwhelming pressure on healthcare facilities and has caused significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The WHO declared it a pandemic in early 2020, and due to a lack of knowledge at the initial phase, there were numerous misconceptions. During the pandemic, evidence-based practices improved patient care. Here we surveyed a representative sample of Saudi emergency medicine physicians in-training to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and practices about COVID-19.
Methods: An online survey with 18 questions was generated using survey monkey and provided to the target audience via the messaging service WhatsApp.
Results: Most of the participants' ages ranged between 26 and 31 years old, and males were slightly higher in number. Most of the participants demonstrated awareness of the cardinal symptoms of COVID-19 and risk factors for the severity of the infection. Half of the participants believed they could differentiate between COVID-19 and the common cold based on clinical encounters alone, and a quarter of them believed antibiotics decrease overall mortality.
Conclusion: General knowledge about COVID-19's cardinal symptoms was adequate; however, there are gaps in knowledge in multiple areas with regard to treatment and practice, and our study shows certain misconceptions that need to be addressed.

Background: Breaking bad news encompasses conveying information that significantly impacts an individual's view of their present and future. In emergency departments (EDs), medical professionals often face the challenge of delivering distressing news. This study explored patient and family preferences for receiving bad news in the ED, considering sociodemographic factors such as education and gender.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 304 patients from the ED of King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The participants were divided into four groups based on their gender and educational level. A p-value of
SARS CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide and in Romania. An updated data review

SARS CoV-2 is a coronavirus first identified in November-December 2019 in Wuhan, China that causes respiratory infections of varying severity. Spreading rapidly in human populations, SARS CoV-2 has caused concern worldwide, and on 11 March 2020 the World Health Organization declared a pandemic with the virus for two months, with most countries entering a lockdown period between March and May 2020 in the hope of stopping the spread of the virus. The main symptoms of SARS CoV-2 infection include fever, cough, shortness of breath and fatigue, but less common symptoms such as loss of smell and taste and gastrointestinal disturbances including vomiting, lack of appetite, diarrhoea, etc. are also reported. From March 2020 to March 2023, there were eight waves of increasing numbers of infections, the largest being the sixth wave between January and April 2022. The total number of deaths also followed roughly the same trends with the increase in newly confirmed cases. As an RNA virus with RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, SARS CoV-2 mutates frequently, leading to the stabilisation of several variants: B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), P.1 (Gamma), B.1.614.2 (Delta), B.1.427 and B.1.429 (Epsilon), P.2 (Zeta), B1.525 (Eta), P.3 (Theta), B.1.617.1 (Kappa) and C.37 (Lambda). The severity of some cases and the intense spread in human populations around the world has led the scientific community to focus its efforts on developing effective vaccines against SARS CoV-2, with nine approved vaccines being developed, BNT162b/2, mRNA-1273, AZD1222 Covishield, Sputnik V rAd26 rAd5, Ad26. CoV.S JNJ-78436735, COVAXIN BBVI52, Corona Vac, NVX-CoV2373 Covavax and BBIBP-CoV vaccines, with which a large part of the global population has been immunised.
If there's Relation between Malaria and COVID -19

Malaria is a parasitic infection, caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium and transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, that leads to an acute life-threatening disease and poses a notable global health threating . According to the World Health Organization (WHO) data of 2019, about 228 million cases of malaria and 405,000 deaths were reported worldwide.Due to the similarity of symptoms between malaria and COVID-19, especially fever, difficulty in breathing, fatigue and headache of acute onset, a malaria patient may be misdiagnosed as COVID-19 and vice versa. Moreover, complications like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), septic shock, and multi-organ failure can also happen in both malaria and COVID-19. The first step to identify a COVID-19 patient is the symptomatic screening, which consists of shortness of breath, fever, dry cough, sore throat, headache and myalgia in a high-risk patient like healthcare workers or patients with a history of contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case.Some scientists attribute the inverse relationship between COVID 19 and malaria to the wide use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), chloroquine (CQ) and other anti-malarial drugs in countries that are endemic for malaria. In conclusion, COVID-19 has a variable prevalence among countries which is lower than expected in malaria-endemic regions. In addition to the possible role of health infrastructure and mitigation tools adopted, Both hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ) may have preventive and curative effects against SARS-CoV-2 virus through different mechanisms, however, clinical trials are still investigating the use of these medications as a potential treatment and preventive measures. The lower than expected number of cases detected in Asia suggests that the young age structure may be protective of severe and thus detectable cases.

As many residential homes and structures were destroyed or badly damaged because of the military battle in Iraq, it is critical to recycle construction debris widely in the rebuilding and decoration of buildings and infrastructure. This battle resulted in the buildup of massive construction debris, and recycling this waste allows for a cleaner environment. Recycling the construction waste of various installations is an urgent need to decrease the consumption of natural materials and landfills of construction waste, and as a result reduce the environmental pollution. Therefore, this study is a local focus on using concrete debris to obtain high packing density recycled coarse and fine aggregates in various fractions of (0.16 mm - 10 mm) by selecting high-density packing materials that was developed by Kharkhadin A.N in laboratories of Belgorod State Technical University in Russia to preparing of reference mix from ordinary density recycled aggregate. The new concrete samples for two concrete mixtures were prepared, to identify and study the important specifications. Models of cubes and standard prisms were prepared to evaluate the compressive strength and the splitting tensile strength. Also, the modulus of rupture and the unit weight were conducted. The results indicated an increase in the concrete’s mechanical properties using the high-packing density recycled aggregate. The obtained compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture were (49) MPa, (3.6) MPa, and (7.1) MPa compared with a reference mix (39) MPa, (3.3) MPa and (6.3) MPa, respectively. The reference mix corresponding properties were (39) MPa, (3.3) MPa, and (6.3) MPa, respectively. Also the values of an oven-dry density were (2340) kg/m3 compared with the reference mix (2260kg/m³). These results proved that increasing the packing density of recycled aggregate enhanced the concrete’s strength properties.
#Justice4Marielle: memory, datafication and justice among digital counterpublics that name Marielle Franco
Authors: Josiowicz Alejandra , Deusdará Bruno , Summers Edward
Published: June 2024

This article seeks to examine the digital discursive practice of naming Marielle Franco on Twitter, mobilizing the perspectives and theoretical framework of Digital Humanities in the Global South, Data feminism and Datafication from Below. We also employ the methodology and theoretical framework of Digital Discourse Analysis and Critical Technocultural Discourse Analysis, integrating aspects of Performance Studies and Gender Studies to explore the relevance of memory and performance for contemporary digital counterpublics. We advance a technocultural discourse analysis of tweets that reference Marielle Franco between 2018 and 2023, in Spanish, English and Portuguese. We use a combination of techniques of computational textual analysis implemented in Wolfram Mathematica to study the chronological distribution of tweets; the emergence and relevance of hashtags; the users that were most frequently mentioned and the different topics they mobilised in social networks. Our conclusions point to the digital technocultural discourse on Marielle Franco as practices of memory and mourning that contribute to constitute a digital counterpublic in which naming, together with practices of datafication from below, are highly political, and serve not only to reassert collective identity but also to create a vocabulary to speak about the intersectional nature of oppression.
