Authors: Et. al. Liane Vina G. Ocampo 
Published: April 2021

The Philippine economy, as a newly industrialized country, remained to be resilient and competitive enough to be one of the five growth performers in the region. As the country grows, it faces greater challenges towards its aim for development. Same way as other developing nations, the Philippines still experience a trade deficit. This situation in the economy must take into consideration seeing that the balance of trade is considered as one of the key components in measuring the relative strength of the country’s economy.
This research investigates the association between export, imports, and economic growth in the Philippines. The study collected trade balance indicators and economic output for the period of 1978 to 2017. The unit root test was employed to test the presence of unit root at level and first difference. Vector Autoregression analysis was used to the relationship exist among variables. The result determined that the past value of imports have a significant impact on the Economic Output measured in terms of GDP. On the export side, the Wald test statistics showed that the previous values of export jointly could influence the Gross Domestic Output. These results provide evidence that exports and imports can influence economic growth in the Philippines.

There are some types of crude oil that contains large quantities of various sulfur compounds that have great harm on the environment, oil economy, oil sector facilities such as fields and refineries.So developing ways to get rid of it is one of the most important goals of researchers in this sector. In this study, nanotechnology was used for environmentally friendly and available industrial materials (nano-zeolite Y), which can adsorb sulfur from crude oil, especially when it impregnated with manganese metals with ultrasound to increase the adsorption efficiency. The effect (temperature, adsorbent dose, Samples PH) was studied with ultrasound and without ultrasound.On the efficiency of removal had best results with ultrasound andit was found that this material is highly efficient in removing sulfur compounds, especially at a temperature of 100 C, and at a dose of 13 g, and PH 7 it found the best adsorption efficiency about 99 %. The change in the properties of the adsorbent material is almost non-existent, with a change in the surface area and pore size.
The Impact of Project Performance on Customer Satisfaction
Authors: Et. al. Ahmad Syamil 
Published: April 2021

Project management performance, which means the overall capability of the performing project team to deliver the project to satisfy the customer’s requirements, has always been considered as one major key in achieving customer satisfaction, especially in a business-to-business organizational relationship. In this research, the researchers tried to find out how project performance actually impacts upon customer satisfaction. The project performance consisted of variables project scope management performance, project schedule management performance, project cost management performance, project human resource management performance, project risk management performance, project quality management performance, project communication management performance and project stakeholders management performance.
Method.
This research used quantitative approach. Data is collected through questionnaire distribution to companies in Jakarta and Bandung. Samples are respondent’s representative of companies, hold managerial position or decision maker. From around 400 distrubuted questionnaire, this researched managed to collect 112 valid response from 112 companies. Data is analyzed its validity and reliability and hypotheses testing employ regression analysis with SPSS software.
Findings
The research found that, In Indonesia, especially for the private sectors (93% of the respondents came from the private sectors, and only 7% come from public sectors), only four variables, which were project schedule, cost, human resources and risk management performance that significantly affected customer satisfaction. When the researcher interviewed 20 of the respondents most of them were the upper management in their organization, and most of them agreed on these findings.
One of the most acknowledged reason for this is because most of the projects in the respondents’ projects were triggered by senior management decisions rather than fulfilling the organizations’ needs or the project deliverables’ users. These users were the ones who actually would use the project deliverables either in the form of products, applications, SOPs or even services. It was a very interesting finding, that many organizations actually conducted projects without actually needing the project’s outcomes. An organization should create a project to support its program, portfolio, vision and mission.

Published: April 2021

Macro based Malware has taken a great rise is these recent years, Attackers are now using this malware for hacking purposes. This virus is embedded inside the macro of a word document and can be used to infect the victim’s machine. These infected files are usually sent through emails and all antivirus software are unable to detect the virus due to the format of the file. Due to the format being a rich text file and not an executable file, the infected file is able to bypass all security. Hence it is necessary to develop a detection system for such attacks to help reduce the threat.
Technical research is carried out to identify the tools and techniques essential in the completion of this system. Research on methodology is done to finalise which development cycle will be used and how functions will be carried out at each phase of the development cycle. This paper outlines the problems that people face once they are attacked through macro malwares and the way it can be mitigated. Lastly, all information necessary to start the implementation has been gathered and analysed

The haulage industry has the biggest fleets as compared to the others road trucking operators in Malaysia. The history of haulage industry started in 1971 until 2004 with five operators and in 2019 and above was recorded to 220 operators in the market. It was demonstrated with the open market which the growth of total fleet from 2,131 prime movers and 10,701 trailers before 2004 and more than 4,500 over prime movers and 31,500 over trailers in 2018 (AMH, 2018). The total number of prime movers and trailers had increased to 111% to overall fleets’ capacity. Haulage market which relate to container throughputs form 2009 - 2019 (ten-year) recorded at 16 million tues to 25 million teus in 2019 (UNCTAD 2019) which increased only by 65%. It was calculated on the surplus by 46 % of holding of prime movers in haulage industry at present. Apparently the market of haulage industry has stagnant and invite further sluggishness on haulage movements. The haulage operators had initiated to downsizing on the fleets due to unstable market and difficulty to sustain in their business. Therefore, the research suggests on appropriate ways to improve on the present condition and making more competitiveness of haulage industry. This research will investigate into three (3) segmentations such as reduction number of fleets, improvement on present activities and changing on other types of trucking businesses. The key respondents of the survey were the haulage operators, customers, government agency and other stakeholders. The survey was conducted among 200 respondents and at the end only 170 answers were accepted. The research uses SPSS version 25 and PLS-SEM to analyze from the collected data. The finding of the research has suggested that the three segmentations are the most appropriate ways to improve the present condition in haulage industry.

Published: April 2021

Several deposition methods have been proposed for pre-deposition of reinforcement particle for preparation of surface metal matrix composite by Friction Stir Process. The method, which will effectively and homogeneously spread the reinforcement within processed zone, will be considered as best possible method.Homogeneous volumetric metal matrix composites can be fabricated by conventional casting and modified stir casting methods. Friction stir process (FSP) can be used as one of the best technique to fabricate surface modified metal matrix composites. In this research article, silicon carbide and graphite powder are used as reinforced materials and AA6061 is used as parent metal matrix material. FSP which is a versatile surface composite preparation technique is applied for fabrication of surface composite. Herein, single channel, multi-channel and perforated holes methods have been utilized for reinforcement deposition. As per the results, perforated blind holes method is reported as best method of pre deposition of powders. Finally, array of holes for pre-deposition of reinforcement powder improves approx 25% in ultimate tensile strength , 40% in micro-hardness and appreciable grain refinement are observed in metal matrix composite processed by FSP as compared to as received alloy.

Authors: Et. al. Adeniyi Temitope Adetunji, 
Published: April 2021

Financial budget and budgetary control do not only help in providing a blue print for businesses to move forward but also checks the performance of operational efficiency of business activities. Accordingly, an organization should be well prepared to meet its long term and short term expenses and goals, thereby enabling the managers to monitor organizational functions. During the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, many organizations adopted the GIG economy and digital transformation. People work remotely in part-time or temporary positions as a staff in an organization, making work cheaper and more efficient services being provided. Justly, a proper coordination of the GIG workers and digital transformation amidst the changing economic situation is necessary for making financial budgets and budgetary control a success. The study investigates the implication of GIG workers and digital transformation on financial budgets and budgetary control. The study collected primary data through a survey research design from institutions in Ogun State, Nigeria. The paper explored finding from accounting officers in the institutions. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 40 well completed questionnaires from the participants in selected institution. The study adopted both descriptive and inferential statistics in analyzing results. The result indicates that a positive significant relationship exists between GIG workers and Covid-19 improves digital transformation in HEI. It is therefore recommended that a GIG worker should be a strategy to budgetary control of financial budget in the case of pandemic or any emergency within the HEI. This doesn’t mean that GIG workers should replace or displace the employee of the institution as assumed by few. When abnormal becomes normal then normal way of life should not be seen as abnormal rather it should be an advantage to leverage of skills acquisition and digital transformation as observed and experienced in this study.
