Published: April 2019

Â Monitoring small crowd of people as tourists in different country always create recurrence issues to their tour-guides such as someone is lost somewhere, losing important documents and getting sick in the middle of the crowd. Similarly, during the Hajj season, such issues occur while millions of Muslims are gathered in two popular cities, Mecca and Medina, of Saudi Arabia. At the peak of the Hajj season, Mecca is identified as the most crowded place when pilgrims all over the world along with their respective tour-guides known as Mutawwif are resided in the city. Thus, communication between the crowd and their respective tour guides offers useful dynamic multi-user tracking data which is essential for close monitoring purposes. This study explores the usage feasibility of dynamic multi-user tracking data in order to provide a context-aware and simple communication means in the form of mobile application to both pilgrims and Mutawwifs for resolving their recurrence issues. The application can be used by the pilgrims to send current location and purpose for contacting the Mutawwif. At the same time, the Mutawwif is able to locate their respective pilgrims and aware of their pilgrimsâ€™ current location and needs. The prototype of the system is developed by using software engineering approach to test the feasibility of using multi-user tracking data in such situation. The prototype has been evaluated and fulfilled the intended requirements for monitoring small crowd. As a conclusion, the prototype offers an alternative for Malaysian Mutawwifs to aware of pilgrimsâ€™ issues and track their need and location at real time during Hajj season. Similarly, the pilgrims also can communicate their needs and problems to their respective Mutawwifs.Â Â

Published: April 2019

TiOx (x<2) nanoparticles have been synthesized by solid state reaction between as-prepared TiO2 nanoparticles and NaAlH4, KBH4 as a reducing agents in argon atmosphere at two temperature 600 oC and 850 oC .Â the X-ray diffraction patterns of reduced TiO2 shows a peak shift and broadening which attributed to the lattice contraction after reduction treatment. AFM images confirm that the surface roughness of reduced TiO2 were larger than unmodified TiO2 nanoparticles due to the formation of oxygen vacancies. UVâ€Vis spectroscopy measurements revealed that the reduced TiO2 nanoparticles have an absorption edge lies in the visible region from the electromagnetic radiations with lower band gap. EDS spectra indicate that the as-prepared and reduced TiO2 nanoparticles have a high degree of purity and the acquired results confirm formation nonstoichiometric (TiO2-x) with oxygen deficient.Â Â Â

Authors: Saleh Abdulnoor , Mohd Drus Sulfeeza , Salbiah M. Shariff Siti 
Published: April 2019

Researches in technology adoption among the Middle Eastern countries are more concentrated on e-government, e-commerce, and internet banking domains. Higher education institutions (HEIs) in these countries fall behind their Western counterparts due to the cutting edge technology adopted for research, teaching, and collaboration in the Western countries. One of the Middle Eastern countries, which is the focus of this research, Yemen, still adopt the conventional way of teaching in the HEIs, which could result in failures to accomplish the optimal desired educational performance. Higher education sector in Yemen faces a number of obstacles and challenges in delivering a good education to its entire population in terms of lack of reliable infrastructure; limited financial resources; lack of teaching staff and expertise; and lack of IT personnel to manage the existing restricted IT infrastructure. Cloud computing, a pool of computer-related resources and services, is seen as one of new technologies which can assist in improving educational delivery in Yemen. Thus, this study firstly, identified the factors that influence the cloud computing adoption in general. Then, it categorized these factors into four (4) domains, namely technological, organizational, environmental and individual domains; and lastly, validated the selected factors using semi-structured interview with IT experts. Based on the validation session with the IT experts, the factors were ranked based on their applicability and suitability in Yemeniâ€™s higher education environments and 13 factors were selected. These 13 factors are adopted from Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. Then, a conceptual framework was developed using these 13 factors to identify the significant factors that influence cloud computing adoption in HEIs in Yemen. It is hoped by having a better understanding on the factors that influence cloud computing adoption in HEIs in Yemen, the responsible parties such as the government agencies, HEIs managements and staff will be more prepared to ensure successful adoption of cloud computing in their HEIs and ultimately help Yemen to improve its higher education delivery to its people.Â Â

Authors: Delbio A. , Abilasha R. , Ilankumaran M. 
Published: April 2019

Language is a tool used to convey oneâ€™s thoughts, feelings and needs. Mother tongue is the language acquired by everyone ever since his birth. A learner encounters mother tongue influence while learning or speaking a foreign language or target language. Mother tongue influence is something that affects a personâ€™s thought process in a sense that he thinks in mother tongue and expresses in English or a second language. People use incorrect pronunciation of words while communicating in English language as they are influenced by the sound patterns of their mother tongue. A second language learner has an unconscious preference to convey his customs from his first language to the target language. The influence of mother tongue has become a significant region and is generally referred to as â€˜Language Interferenceâ€™. Every language learner comes across this issue. Students, sometimes, use words from their parent language while communicating in English. This paper speaks about the difficulties faced by the learners of the second language and the causes of first language influence. This paper attempts to bring out the ways to avoid the overwhelmed influence of mother tongue and gives some notions to the students to develop their second language skills.Â Â

The task of the authors was to develop a certain control system to identify the role of country economic security in the Eurasian integration. To this end, the approaches to economic security in Europe, Russia and Asian countries are analyzed. The differences in the methods of controlling the national economic security and in the key approaches to its provision are primarily due to the historically established internal economic and geo-economic conditions. There is a fairly wide range of paradigms of controlling system implemented in national economic security, primarily the differences between the European approaches and the approach of Russia.Â Given information based on mentioned control systems revealed that principles and mechanisms of organization of national economic security systems in Asian countries is practically absent in Russian science. It was also necessary to analyze the typology of control monitoring system in order to clarify the prospects of integration of national economic security systems. The authors substantiate the position that ensuring national economic security is an important imperative of integration and development in the Eurasian space, competitiveness and economic sovereignty of countries. The article systematically organizes the facts about the types of organization of national economic security, explains the need for the countries of Eurasia active control system of economic security as a response to the challenges of our time. The authors express a certain control syste, of Eurasian integration in the field of national security, involving both sovereignty and harmonization of national systems aimed at protecting economic interests.Â Â

Published: April 2019

The aim of investigations is to study the resistance of agro-gray heavy loamy soil to heavy metal pollution and acidification on the basis of determining corresponding parameters of buffering, as well as microbiological activity, as a biological diagnosis of fertility potential under stress conditions.The object of investigations is the agro-gray soil of different cultivation degrees: fertile and infertile. In fertile soil, the humus content in barren soil was 2.2-2.5 % and that in fertile soil was 5.4 %.A model of soil resistance to heavy metals and acidification has been developed. The low level of stability of the agro-gray soil appears when the maximum Langmuir adsorption value is less than 91 mM / kg for zinc, less than 104 mM / kg for copper, less than 93 mM / kg for lead, and less than 61 mM / kg for cadmium. The average level of stability is provided for zinc, copper and lead in the range from 91 to 143 mM / kg, 104 - 130 mM / kg and 61 - 132 mM / kg, respectively. A high level of soil stability is guaranteed if the maximum adsorption value exceeds 93 - 143 mM / kg. Â Bio diagnostics included a series of experiments with imitation of pollution and acidification. Soil pollution was modeled by adding 200 and 600 mg / kg of copper to it (experiment 1). In experiment 2, soil was polluted by cadmium at the rate of 10, 30 and 100 MAC. The exposition was 1, 10, 35 and 57 days.Acidification of the soil was simulated by adding dilute sulfuric acid at a rate of 0.018, 0.044, and 0.120 mM / l (experiment 3).In experiment 4, the effect of zinc on the activity of azotobacter in barren and fertile soil was studied. The dose of zinc was 50 and 100 mg / kg.It was established that when the content of humus is not less than 5 %, the average decrease in activity for all groups of microorganisms was not more than 20 % as compared with clean samples. When the humus content was below 3 %, the microbiological activity decreased by more than 30 %.Â Â
Construction of Inverse Unit Regular Monoids from a Semilattice and a Group
Authors: V.K Sreeja 
Published: April 2019

This paper is a continuation of a previous paper [6] in which the structure of certain unit regular semigroups called R-strongly unit regular monoids has been studied. A monoid S is said to be unit regular if for each element s ÃŽ S there exists an element u in the group of units G of S such that s = sus. Hence where su is an idempotent and is a unit. A unit regular monoid S is said to be a unit regular inverse monoid if the set of idempotents of S form a semilattice. Since inverse monoids are R unipotent, every element of a unit regular inverse monoid can be written as s = eu where the idempotent part e is unique and u is a unit. Here we give a detailed study of inverse unit regular monoids and the resultsÂ are mainly based on [10]. The relations between the semilattice of idempotents and the group of units in unit regular inverse monoids are better identified in this case.Â .

Published: April 2019

The paper is devoted to the study of semantic and functional features of expressive derivatives, both usual and occasional, in the artistic gist of the novel â€œAsanâ€ by V. Makanin, as well as their role in structuring the individual-authorâ€™s linguistic picture of the world. It has been proven that the derivation of expressive lexemes is the result of improvisation according to established patterns, and that the formation of occasional substantives, adjectives and verbs involved the main methods of the Russian word derivation. It is noted that in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin, in the substantive word-formation, suffixation plays a leading role, which takes place in the sphere of abstractness and includes such lexical-semantic groups as expressive substantives with the meaning of a person, expressive substantives with the meaning of abstracted action or an abstract feature with connotation, as a rule, negative and/or reduced colloquial connotation. While in the sphere of adjectival and verbal word formation, confixation and prefixation, as the formation of expressiveness, is most productive. The paper considers the phenomenon of semantic word formation, describes the formation of semantic derivatives, including in the field of occasional vocabulary. Expressive derivatives in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin are a bright sign of his individual style, an important means of expressing the world view and outlook of the writer.Â Â
