Published: December 2022

The type of coffee affects the compounds in it, the environment, and the soil. One of the areas in West Sumatera where a Coffee Producer is Solok Regency. The kind of coffee that is cultivated in Solok is Arabica coffee. The height of the planting point has an influence on the taste, so Solok Arabica coffee has a different taste from the flavors of other Arabica coffees that are widely spread throughout Indonesia. This study aims to determine the compounds contained in Solok Arabica coffee, which was roasted at 200oC for 10 minutes. The compound detection in Solok Arabica coffee was carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results of GC-MS analysis detected 25 compounds in Solok Arabica coffee at 200oC for 10 minutes, and 4 of them were detected in large quantities, namely pyridine, caffeine, n-hexadecanoic acid, and butyl 9,12-octadecadienoate with amounts between 70-97 m / z. Pyridine is a benzene derivative by replacing CH groups with N atoms, which are toxic to humans because they can cause nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and irritation when in contact with the skin. Caffeine is the main bioactive component of the purine ring system in coffee. The sensory test method used to determine the typical Arabica Coffee of â€œRanah Minangâ€ is cupping to assess the taste of the coffee. n-hexadecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid with antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic, nematicide, anti-androgenic, hemolytic, pesticide, lubricant, 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, antipsychotic, and anti-inflammatory activity.

Published: December 2022

Medium-term production planning with aggregate production planning (APP) is a crucial step in the manufacturing industry's supply chain. The essential phase determines the production size of each product over a planning horizon. Poor planning will undoubtedly directly impact the company regarding production costs and profits. The aggregate production planning is classified as NP-Hard combinatorial problem. Thus, a powerful approach is required. Most models in aggregate production planning consider a single product. This study modeled aggregate production planning to address a multi-period and multi-product. Thus, a more complex mathematical model is required. Implementing genetic algorithms (GA) may solve the problem with reasonably good solutions. This study aims to improve the GA by applying real-coded chromosomes and the adaptive change of crossover and mutation rates based on predetermined change criteria. The planning produced by the modified genetic algorithm is compared to the manufacturer's actual planning to prove the proposed approach's effectiveness. A set of computational experiments proves that adaptive evolution enables the genetic algorithm to balance its exploration and exploitation ability and obtain better solutions. The modified GA produces a less fluctuating pattern of the production amount. Even though the modified GA yields more inventory cost, the high cost of recruiting new workers can be eliminated. Using the proposed approach, the company can reduce 9 percent of the production cost.

Published: December 2022

Increased food production necessitates technological adoption. Model adoption is a term that refers to the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The model development research seeks to identify critical variables influencing technology adoption. The development objective is to accelerate the adoption of innovative technology. A literature study is used to develop the UTAUT model and identifies significant factors. SALSA was utilized to conduct this literature review (Secondary Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis). The analytical technique employed is a meta-analysis, with the findings shown as a forest plot. Three hundred ten journals were collected for this study evaluation, with 11 selected for further examination. Currently, 13 models are being used in selected journals to modify the UTAUT model. Much of the research in Asia is conducted in research sites. In comparison to the modified UTAUT model, the UTAUT model has the most significant association with technology adoption (0.432). On the other hand, that model exhibits a high degree of heterogeneity (81.5%). Behavioral Intention (0.384) is a component of the UTAUT model, with considerable variability seen in the data (70.3%). Agriculture interventions must be directed at boosting the use of technology. A farmer may engage the services of a mediator following the UTAUT paradigm. Three critical factors to examine are Performance Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Condition Factors.

Presently, electronic (e-) procurement system is crucial for buying and selling supplies, and services between the government and individuals over the online environment. E-procurement is one of the Business to Consumer (B2C) applications that has the benefits of reducing transaction costs and supplierâ€™s payment with increased information quality and accuracy of system. Nonetheless, users are still facing difficulties in using the e-procurement system thus causing them to feel dissatisfied. Moreover, studies related to user experience (UX) and e-procurement systems are also lacking in terms of UX interaction with this system. Users also face the problems such as lack of transparency and efficiency, corruption, and complicated procedures. There are other barriers faced by them such as prejudice, resource constraints and lack of experience. Therefore, this study aims to identify quality requirements of the e-procurement system which enhance their user experiences. This study uses a qualitative method (open-ended interviews) for data collection. The selection of the participants was done through purposive sampling and analyzed using a qualitative data analysis tool. The results revealed from interviews, that there are seven quality requirements that are important namely, effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction, security, user interface aesthetics, ease of use and learnability. This study will be useful for system developers, and designers to put emphasis on these quality requirements for better user experience in enhancements of e-procurement in the future.

Authors: Siqueira Felipe Macedo Freitas , Santos Lizandro de Sousa
Published: December 2022

In this work, a prototype was developed to assess indoor air quality using an Arduino system. The system is based on the measurement of the light level, smoke concentration, temperature and air humidity. A thermal comfort index (TCI) was proposed, where a scale from 0 to 1 based on the weighted average of the individual indices was developed. Another approach, based on artificial neural networks, was formulated in which the parameters were used as input arguments of the network and the TCI was used as a target parameter. The response of the two models was compared, where it was possible to observe that the TCI values calculated by the network were considerably close to the values obtained by the deterministic model, with MSE of 1.73?10-5.

Published: December 2022

Correlations between the morphological features of f lower buds and the developmental stages of the male gametophyte are of great practical interest as a reliable marker that accelerates and simplif ies the selection of appropriate plant material for isolated microspore culture. Microspore culture enables one to quickly obtain many pure lines of different vegetable crops, but it has not yet been widely applied in the melon (Cucumis melo L.). To successfully apply this technique in a new culture, one has to optimize many of its elements: f irst, f ind the biological markers for selecting the f lower buds containing the microspores of certain development stages. The paper presents the results of research estimating the correlations between the length and diameter of the f lower buds, the length of the visual part of the corolla, the length of the anthers and the development stages of the male gametophyte in the F1 hybrid of the Kim Hong Ngoc melon. The strongest correlation (CC = 0.885) was found for the f lower bed diameter and a strong correlation (CC = 0.880), for the bud length. The corolla’s visual part was a less reliable morphological feature, and the anther’s length should not be used as a parameter to predict the developmental stages of the melon’s male gametophyte. It was also found that one anther could contain the microspores and pollen grains of different developmental stages. In the f lower buds less than 4 mm in length and 1.51 ± 0.02 mm in diameter prevailed tetrads, and in the buds 4.0–4.9 mm in length and 2.30 ± 0.02 mm in diameter, early microspores. The microspores of a middle stage of development prevailed in the f lower buds 5.0–5.9 mm in length and 2.32 ± 0.00 mm in diameter; mid and late vacuolated microspores, in the buds 6.0–8.9 mm in length and 2.96 ± 0.37 mm in diameter; and two-celled pollen, in the buds more than 9 mm in length and more than 3.97 ± 0.34 mm in diameter.
Canopy temperature depression for droughtand heat stress tolerance in wheat breeding
Authors: Lepekhov S. B.
Published: December 2022

An infrared thermometer was first used to assess drought and heat tolerance in plant breeding more than 40 years ago. Soon afterward, this method became widely used throughout the world. However, Russia has not yet applied the described method for evaluating stress tolerance. This paper presents an overview of using infrared thermometry in plant breeding. Taking wheat as an example, it shows major advantages and disadvantages of canopy temperature depression (CTD) values measured by the infrared thermometer. The paper also demonstrates that genotypes with higher CTD values, and therefore with a lower canopy temperature, use more available soil moisture under drought stress to cool the canopy by transpiration. It refers to CTD as an integrative trait that reflects an overall plant water status. Its coefficient of variation lies in the interval of 10 to 43 %. A large number of publications illustrate a close relation between CTD values and yield and indicate a high heritability of the former. Meanwhile, the same works show that yield has a higher heritability. Moreover, some researchers doubt that CTD should be used in applied wheat breeding as there are many factors that influence it. CTD has a high correlation with other traits that reflect plant water status or their adaptation to drought or heat stress. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with CTD are localized in all chromosomes, except for 3D. These QTLs often explain a small part of phenotypic variance (10–20 %, more likely less than 10 %), which complicates the pyramiding of canopy temperature genes through marker-assisted selection. The paper concludes that the evaluation of CTD appears to be a reliable, relatively simple, labor-saving, objective, and non-invasive method that sets it apart from other methods as well as shows the best results under terminal drought and heat stress conditions.

The results are presented with a beta value of.322, a significant value of P = 0.000, indicating that there exists a positive effect between mobile banking services and customer retention. Secondly, the study results in the table above indicate that mobile banking services have a positive effect on customer satisfaction. The study results are presented with a beta value of.314, a significant value of P = 0.000, indicating that there exists a positive effect between mobile banking services and customer satisfaction. The study concludes that mobile banking services had a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction in the banking sector in Turkey. The study concludes that improved mobile banking services in Turkey are a key inducement to customer satisfaction in the banks. It concluded that the improvement of mobile banking services can henceforth generate efficiency and customer satisfaction. It is concluded that mobile banking is significant in the attainment of customer retention. It is hence conclusive that mobile banking is an ideal contributor to customer retention. Although the effect is moderate, it significantly implies that the mobile banking system is an ideal contributor to the retention of customers.
A Decision Support System for Investigating the Critical Success Factors of ICT Project Implementation in the Health Sector: A Case Study of the UK National Health Service (NHS)
Authors: Dada Abioye , Oderanti Festus
Published: December 2022

Despite numerous previous studies on critical success factors (CSFs) on projects, the rate at which Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) projects still fail is very alarming and most especially with respect to their implementations in the health sector. Many authors have alluded the reasons for these to the complexity and difficulties in deciding the factors inherent in implementing even smaller-scale systems in this sector. Therefore, this research develops a decision scheme for investigating the critical factors that are responsible for the successful implementation of ICT projects in the health sector using the UK National Health Service (NHS) as a case study. Empirical data were collected through mixed method research techniques which included semi-structured interviews and survey questionnaires. The collected data were analysed using SPSS descriptive, inferential and analytical statistics. The CSFs were identified and then ranked in order of importance. Furthermore, the barriers to successful ICT project implementation in the healthcare sector were identified and examined. Based on the research findings, solutions were also proffered to these barriers. Finally, an integrated decision model was developed to provide a holistic framework for successful implementation of ICT projects in the health sector.

The Courtyard in Cairene Traditional Houses; A Territorial Dispute, Game of Spaces Geometry and Light
Authors: Saad Sadek Ahmed
Published: December 2022

The courtyard lost its role in contemporary Egyptian architecture. Despite its importance in the family social life, the western model of the villa and townhouse is adopted. The author argues that presenting the courtyard as a climatic solution only is inaccurate in introducing the courtyard to local urbanism. The study adopted qualitative and quantitative approaches, collecting historic courtyards houses in Cairo analyzing their courtyard form, geometry, and introductory spatial sequences. Related literature was reviewed for collecting data and introducing criteria. The study sample analysis proved the strong relationship between the spatial territoriality, the house transition zone, the public right to assert the order of their built environment (through collective deliberation) and other forces, which are of great importance to the courtyard role and meanings.

This research paper aims to examine the architectural design and the publicness of a state mosque in Malaysia while taking into consideration the social inclusiveness and national identity among religious buildings within the compound and beyond the framework of religion. The research objective is to evaluate the architectural design elements in a mosque on publicness. The methodology used in this research is by reviewing literature and evaluating the Negeri Sembilan State Mosque; Seremban Mosque, as a case study of its social publicness. The finding from the research concludes that the state mosque can do more to achieve inclusivity and friendliness through architectural design elements such as perception, permeability, and territoriality of the building in relation to its context and religious adherents, as well as the larger Malaysian population. Furthermore, the significance of the finding identified that religion and religious buildings play a crucial role in sustaining unity and harmony among all ethnicity in a community with such a diverse society in order to promote further the manifestation of social inclusiveness and national unity among religious buildings and diminish the conflict in race and religion.
MACMA Islamic Ideology in Chinese Muslim Mosques Towards Universalizing Islam in Malaysia
Authors: Ismail Alice Sabrina , Aziz Nurul Syaheera
Published: December 2022

Malaysia is the world's 43rd most populous country comprising multi-ethnic and multicultural societies. About half the population is ethnically Malay, with minorities of Chinese, Indians, and indigenous peoples. From this number, Chinese Muslims are minorities in Malaysia, and only 2 per cent of ethnic Chinese are Muslims. Nevertheless, there is a growing trend of accommodating Chinese cultural elements in Islamic preaching in Malaysia. Due to this recent emergence of Chinese Muslim cultural identities, Chinese cultural symbols and Islamic messages are combined to produce a new notion in Malaysian society that 'Chineseness' and Islam are compatible. For that reason, the Chinese Muslim association and dakwah movement in Malaysia, like MACMA (Malaysia Chinese Muslim Association), promulgate a cultural dakwah approach aiming to universalize Islam to spread the Islamic messages and invite non-Muslims to get closer to the Islamic faith. One of the approaches is building Chinese-style mosques throughout Malaysia as a symbol of preaching Islam through Chinese cultural signs and practices. However, no comprehensive studies have elucidated how mosques patronized by the MACMA universalize Islam for Muslims and non-Muslims. Therefore, this paper aims to identify and analyze how MACMA Islamic ideology influences the architectural design elements found in the MACMA mosques as a symbol of cultural dakwah to propagate and teach the values of Islam. This study used the hermeneutic method through the interpretivism paradigm. The two indicators of mosques, form-making, and spatial elements, act as a sign of Islamic values to propagate religious tolerance. The findings indicate how Islamic values and ideology involving the practising of Islah, Ikram, and Ihsan are translated into Mosque architectural elements as a symbol of dakwah to display communal-friendly mosque design. Based on these findings, this study will outline the best mosque design guidelines for designers that can function as a religious sign and symbol for transnational dimensions of cultural dakwah towards unity, equality, and spiritual rejuvenation.

The architecture of Masjids has spread in areas with harsh climates and natural conditions. In previous decades, the Masjid's design was a large flat area with an inner courtyard in the middle. This architectural design of the Masjid was appropriate to the nature of the hot climate. Recently, the design of Masjids became closed and flat areas that lack ventilation and good lighting. The research paper is based on an analytical descriptive study to determine the importance of internal courtyards in historical Masjids in Egypt and the elements that affect the significance of the courtyard in contemporary Masjids. The results show the importance of using the inner courtyard when designing a modern Masjid, which achieves many positive results, regarding the climatic and social aspects, by increasing the thermal and psychological comfort of the prayers.

This paper investigates the architecture of the Dezzak Grand Mosque in Saravan City for the first time to the best of our knowledge. One of the most important research problems was the lack of sufficient information about the Dezzak Mosque. Considering that some of the Islamic geographers had sporadically mentioned an old mosque in the southeast of Iran, comprehensive field research was not done in this regard. This study compares Dezzak Mosque the oldest mosque in South East of Iran with the Prophet Mohmmad Mosque in Medina and other mosques of Early Islam in Iran such as Fahraj Tarikhane Damghan mosques in Iran from the perspective of style and architectural features. With the arrival of the Muslim Arabs to Iran and acceptance of the new religion, Islam, Iranian Muslims were engaged in the construction of mosques in this country. The Dezzak Mosque was one of them. The mosque has a square plan with a corridor, which is surrounded by circular columns and arches around the courtyard with clay raw. The columns have a diameter of 1.5 meters around the courtyard, which is most on the South Side. Raw bricks for the construction of the building and palm trees are used to cover the roof. Recent studies show that the Dezzak Mosque in terms of stylistic influences of the Khorasani style is the first Islamic-Iranian style. Dezzak Mosque is similar to the Prophet Mosque in Medina in case of plan, materials, and architectural features, and also it has been influenced by Tarikhane Damghan and Fahraj as the oldest mosques In Iranian Plateau.

La imagen personal que un directivo proyecta, será fundamental a la hora de ejercer confianza y un liderazgo. El objetivo de la investigación fue establecer la relación que existe entre la imagen personal y el liderazgo. La naturaleza de la investigación fue cualitativa de razonamiento inductivo; el diseño fue no experimental transeccional descriptivo. Los sujetos participantes en el estudio fueron personas tanto del sector público como del sector privado. Los resultados demostraron que, desde la percepción de los entrevistados, los conocimientos de un líder dependen fuertemente de cómo habla y cómo piensa; en menor grado de cómo luce y cómo actúa; las actitudes de un líder están fuertemente ligadas a cómo se desempeña, en mediano grado a cómo luce y en menor grado en cómo habla y cómo piensa; las conductas de un líder están fuertemente ligadas a cómo habla; en menor grado en cómo actúa y cómo luce; y, el carisma de un líder está medianamente ligado a cómo habla, cómo luce y cómo actúa..
FROM RENAISSANCE TO A PRECIPICE OVER THE ACHE PATRIARCH LUKIJAN BOGDANOVIĆ
Authors: VASIN GORAN
Published: December 2022

Patriarch Lukijan Bogdanović was the last head of the Patriarchate of Karlovci, which had existed for two centuries, first as a metropolitanate and later a patriarchate. He was elected Bishop of Buda when he was very young, and he proved to be a highly capable at running the diocese/bishopric. From 1908 on, as a young patriarch, he faced unresolvable difficulties and issues related to religious and educational autonomy, the Patriarchate itself, and relations between Austria- Hungary and Serbia. Attacked, defamed, and misunderstood by the Serbian public, he soon began falling victim to poor health. His tragic death, which many years later again became an object of public interest, made him seem more sensational than he actually was, and his educational and ecclesiastical work remained in the background.

Published: December 2022

This study aims to explore Hungarian–Yugoslav diplomatic relations in the first phase of the disintegration of the second Yugoslav state through relevant documents from the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and accounts from the contemporary Hungarian press. The study mainly focuses on relations between the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Except for Serbia, diplomatic relations between Hungary and the other Yugoslav republics were not taken into consideration due to length constraints. The study also examines Budapest’s diplomatic activities with the great powers regarding the Yugoslav question. The documents used this study can be found in XIX-J-1-j records at the Department of Political Government and Party Authorities of the Hungarian National Archives after 1945 (Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár Országos Levéltára 1945 utáni Politikai Kormányszervek és Pártiratok Főosztálya, MNL OL).
GRAND KNEZ STEPHEN VUKANOVIĆ AND THE MORAČ A MONASTERY
Authors: ALEKSIĆ VLADIMIR , MILIĆ DRAGANA , ŽIVKOVIĆ VOJISLAV
Published: December 2022

The Morača Monastery was built in the mid-13th century by Grand knez (prince) Stephen Vukanović, a member of a cadet branch of the Nemanjić dynasty (1166–1371), as his burial place. Interpreting the actions its founder reveals interesting details about the relationship of the center of power with the political periphery, ruling ideology, and the monk’s place in society. The completion of the frescoes and other ornamentation at this monastic church of the Dormition of the Mother of God and Stephen’s withdrawal from his political life to take monastic vows partially coincides with the action of King Uroš I (1243–1276), who consolidated his royal power during this time by eliminating the principalities in the Serbian coastal regions. Prince Stephen’s transition to life as a hermit may have gone through two stages that included tonsuring and then admission into the Great Schema. These actions were motivated by his personal piety and his age or by a desire to emulate the Nemanjić dynasty’s model of sanctity–which was a key feature of the ruling dynasty’s political ideology–or were possibly the result of political upheaval.
