Published: April 2019

Efficient transportation of cargoes from the point of the cargo traffic start to the final consumers can significantly influence competitiveness of logistics service that leads to the necessity of analysing the known approaches to substantiating the selection of the storing type (pile storage or rack storage) when warehousing single-piece cargoes. To formalize the problem of selection based on the analysis, the authors develop the model, which is suggested to use the quantity of the stored pallets with single item cargoes. The calculations according to the suggested mathematical model envisage intensive computations with repeated calculations; therefore the corresponding recursive algorithms are developed for this mathematical model. The corresponding recursive algorithms for the model are easily realized in the software product. The developed algorithms can be easily realized in the software product with graphic interface on the enterprises delivering logistics services to enhance their competitiveness.Â Â

Published: April 2019

To ensure a stable, highly efficient operation of enterprises, it is necessary to create a scientifically based system for managing all aspects of their activities, in particular, pay special attention to the planning of social processes. The essence of social management determines its formation and functioning as a system. In order to avoid scattering of the funds allocated for social development of personnel, it is necessary to determine the primary social objectives and appropriate funds for their implementation. In this regard, a model of a scientifically based system for planning social development of personnel has been proposed, using a priority approach to social management based on assessing the level of social development of personnel, which will help focus on the objectives that are most important for the enterprise and concentrate financial resources in the most important areas of its social development. It is necessary to plan the expenses for social development of the enterprise with a real consideration for the opinions of the personnel, which is possible through defining the social priorities by the quantitative method on the basis of processing the results of a survey of employees.Â Â

Authors: Shariff N S M , Duzan H M B 
Published: April 2019

The presence of multicollinearity will significantly lead to inconsistent parameter estimates in regression modeling. The common procedure in regression analysis that is Ordinarily Least Squares (OLS) is not robust to multicollinearity problem and will result in inaccurate model. To solve this problem, a number of methods are developed in the literatures and the most common method is ridge regression. Although there are many studies propose variety method to overcome multicolinearity problem in regression analysis, this study proposes the simplest model of ridge regression which is based on linear combinations of the coefficient of the least squares regression of independent variables to determine the value ofÂ k (ridge estimator in ridge regression model). The performance of the proposed method is investigated and compared to OLS and some recent existing methods. Thus, simulation studies based on Monte Carlo simulation study are considered. The result of this study is able to produce similar findings as in existing method and outperform OLS in the existence of multicollinearity in the regression modeling.

Authors: Homam M J , Khazali M F M , Kamaruddin S 
Published: April 2019

A GPS tracker through HF radio using FSK method for Blue Force Tracking (BFT) application was developed. The project aims to transmit and receive the location information which is obtained from the GPS data. The system used frequency range of 500 Hz to 2000Â Hz for modulating and demodulating the GPS data using FSK method. The smallest frequency gap between characters without affecting the accuracy of the output is 100 Hz, but the transmission time per character must be set to 100 ms. The transmission speed was investigated to find the optimum speed of the system by varying the delay command in the program. The system can accurately transmit and receive the location data in 1350 ms per coordinate. In general, the developed system successfully maintains the performance of transmitting and receiving the location information which can be applied for the future advancement of the BFT.

Published: April 2019

Light affects the growth and development of plants by influencing the physical appearance of one leaf as well as the appearance of the whole plant. Plant photosynthesis, stomata density, and pigment contents are all influenced by light The objective of this research is to determine the effect of light on the photosynthesis, pigment content and stomatal density of Sun and Shade Leaves of Vernonia amygdalina. Gas exchange was measured using Li-6400 and the data obtained was used to create a light response curve where parameters including light saturation point (LSP), light compensation point (LCP) and apparent quantum yield were estimated. Photosynthetic pigment were quantified spectrophotometrically.Â Moreover, the stomatal density was counted under light microscope, after making a nail polish impression of the leaf. The results discovered shows that as the light intensity increases, the gas exchange and stomatal density increases while the photosynthetic pigment of the studied plant decreases (P<0.05). In addition, LSP and LCP increases with increasing light intensity. Besides, statistically significant negative correlation (P<0.05) was achieved among stomatal density and transpiration rate thereby leading to a conclusion that sun leaves of Vernonia amygdalina contribute the highest assimilation rate to the plant than shade leaves. Yet, the higher stomatal density of sun leaves provides water saving to the plant.

Suicide is an act committed by an individual consciously aiming to end or eliminate the life itself. But when their act of suicide failed they were categorized as attempted suicide. This is not a new thing for modern society today. According to official statistics, there are about one million people committed suicide around the world within one year, and this amount does not include those killed by others or those killed in the war. Therefore, the study aims to analyze suicide rates recorded by the five countries with the highest rates of suicide and assess the differences in the frequency of suicide cases between men and women. In addition, this study will identify the methods or methods used to commit suicide and what are the risk factors that cause an individual to decide to end his life. The methods used to commit suicide will also be explained more clearly. Suicide symptoms can be serious in society if preventive measures at the early stage are not taken.

Published: April 2019

One of the remarkable advantages of globalisation is people having more access to adequate education, both for formal and informal. Although education is not shared evenly all over the world, through globalisation, there is an awakening process when most countries realise that education is not only a crucial factor in developing human resources, but also essential for economic improvement and technology expansion. Education is a primary need and a fundamental right for everyone, yet many women still lack of education, which has the potential to enhance their lives, particularly to fight against poverty. This article will argue that education needs in rural areas in Indonesia are not being shared equally by both genders. The results show that globalised standards of education are falling short for female students due to several reasons, such as financial constraints and cultural preferences for males. Therefore, the roles of the government and NGOs are vitally important in empowering women, particularly in rural areas. This article also draws the ethnographic data from rural areas in Minahasa Regency in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. This article recommended that the government should enhance the access to all educational stages, improve the education quality and distribute more funds in education to implement the educational fees exemption program. It can be concluded that NGOs can play the important role in assisting the government strategies. The roles may be conducted by embarking on campaigns for education. It may lead to increasing number of education enrolment and enlarging the opportunity for children and women to attain sufficient education.Â Â

Published: April 2019

Technology has made life easier in todayâ€™s world. In addition, developments in technologies and communication have become commonplace for majority of people. Global telecommunication development has reduced distances around the globe, and made it easy for businesses to proliferate worldwide. This study explored the factors affecting the use of telecommunication services among customers through mobile phones. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been extensively used in the field of technology use but is lacking when it comes to factors that affect customersâ€™ intention to use service as they focus more on technology. On the basis of review findings, there is a positive relationship between service quality, subjective norms, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of service and voluntariness moderates the relationship between subjective norms and intention to use service. These and other relationships are considered in the development of a Service Acceptance Model.Â Â

Published: April 2019

The air conditioned auditorium classroom was monitored for energy consumption by a monitoring platform. One year collected data from energy consumption and indoor climate monitoring systems and outdoor climate data in Phitsanulok province, Thailand, where its climate classified as the tropics, was employed to determine their relation by regression analysis. The analysis of climate data showed that the outdoor temperature above 26 oC was accounted for 70% of the year this emphasizes on cooling requirement. Furthermore, the hourly cooling energy consumption ranged from 8.1 to 10.3 kWh for indoor air temperature between 20 oC and 32 oC. Â The higher outdoor temperature causes the greater cooling energy consumption. The correlation between outdoor temperature and cooling energy consumption with linear regression showed the correlation coefficient of 0.38 while the correlation between temperature difference and enthalpy difference of the outdoor and indoor found the correlation coefficient of 0.71. This pointed out that the outdoor tropical climate highly affected to the cooling energy demand.

Published: April 2019

Water treatment plants (WTPs) in Kuantan river basin abstracts water from the blue water source, which is the Kuantan river. Therefore, by accounting the blue water footprint (WFb), the overall water consumption for all five WTPs Â namely; Sungai Lembing, Bukit Sagu, Panching, Semambu, and Bukit Ubi can be obtained. In order to predict the value, Backpropagation method is the best method to be used due to the historical data obtained from the WFb accounting for all five WTPs above. The objective of this study is to predict the overall blue water consumption for water treatment plants located along Kuantan river basin using Backpropagation method in artificial neural network. In this study, WFb has been accounted throughout all water treatment plants by using reference from water footprint manual. Then, the WFb will undergo a series of testing using application in MATLAB software in order to predict the future value based on historical data from 2015 until 2016. As a result, the total WFb accounting obtained was 190,543,378.2 m3/day, while the total maximum capacity of the WTPs was 189,654,000 m3/day. Hence, the prediction value that kept increasing will not be able to cater the future demand due to unstoppable urbanization.
