Authors: Nawanda Arya Krizna , Tambotoh Johan Jimmy Carter 
Published: October 2024

E-learning and LMS (Learning Management Systems) have been implemented in most universities to modernize learning and assist in the learning process of university students. This study aims to explore the factors that can be used to measure e-learning system success using the EESS (Evaluating E-learning System Success) model and Expectation and Confirmation Theory (ECT). A quantitative research method was employed, using questionnaires to collect data on users’ perceptions of LMS. The collected data were then statistically analyzed using the PLS-SEM method with SmartPLS 3.2.9. Results revealed that out of 29 hypotheses, 16 were accepted and 13 were rejected. A novel discovery was that ECT can be implemented in the EESS model. Three hypotheses involving expectation confirmation had p-values of 0.001, 0.000, and 0.000, indicating significant roles. The study concluded that incorporating expectation confirmation quality into the EESS model enhances its effectiveness by providing a comprehensive perspective.

Mathematicals communication ability is one of essential mathematical abilities that every person, who learns mathematics, needs to have. However, many facts found in many studies has shown us that students’ achievements on this ability are still low. Factors that may cause it spread from teacher factors, tools, approaches, learning media to students themselves. To overcome these issues, many efforts are made to select and implement learning approaches that can improve students' mathematical communication ability as well as their activities in instructional process. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine whether the implementation of GeoGebra-assisted discovery learning approach is effective in improving vocational school students' mathematicals communication ability or not. This quasi experimental research design involved 60 students of Gema Karya Bahana Vocational School as samples. The samples were divided into two groups in which 30 students of Accounting-1 class as the experimental group and 30 students of Accounting-2 as the control group. The data collected through a description test consisted of 3 questions on a linear program. The data collected through the test, both in pre-test and post-test, then analyzed using inferential statistics. The results of this analysis showed that the implementation of the discovery Learning approach assisted by GeoGebra was effective in improving vocational school students' mathematicals communication ability. Thus, the discovery learning approach assisted by GeoGebra can be implemented on instructional processes as one of instructional approach alternatives.

Published: October 2024

Unique destination branding in tourism is crucial to gaining a competitive advantage. Local food is a significant component of a destination brand which Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) must integrate into their official marketing efforts. DMOs must monitor the popularity and perception of their food promotions against the competition. Online promotion and management are challenging due to the rise of user-generated content. Automatic data mining techniques were used to determine the extent to which tourist food choices on TripAdvisor matched foods promoted by DMOs and how distinct these choices were from a rival DMOs’ promotion. We compared online food promotion between the Sabah Tourism Board and the Sarawak Tourism Board. We developed a software system to automatically extract food branding business intelligence from TripAdvisor restaurant reviews. The application of web crawling and scraping technology was applied to extract data and use Sentiment Analysis for interpretation. Online foods promoted by DMOs for each region were found to contain only a few common dishes, but these were more popular than region-specific foods. Significantly different distributions of food choices were found for each region. Some potentially useful differences between foreign and domestic tourists and locals were also identified. Sentiment analysis revealed hidden information in reviews useful for potential food destination branding. Findings from TripAdvisor confirm practical suggestions for improving brand distinctiveness found in the literature. This study is the first to develop an actual system that DMOs could use to estimate the online popularity of their promoted foods and those of their competition.

The prevalence of social media usage in Malaysia is apparent, as a substantial 78.5% of the population actively participates in online platforms. This provides the groundwork for an extensive analysis of the influence that social media marketing has on the decision-making process of consumers in the digital domain. This research focuses on analyzing the influence of four specific aspects of social media marketing on consumers' purchasing decisions for tourism products. Interactivity, informativeness, entertainment value and perceived relevance are the elements that must be taken into account. The data was gathered from a diverse group of individuals who have extensive experience with social media. This was done through a thorough and structured online survey. The survey was completed by 142 participants in total and the data was analyzed using SPSS. The findings indicate that factors such as interactivity, informativeness and perceived relevance play a significant role in influencing consumers' purchase decisions. However, it was discovered that the impact of entertainment on purchase decisions is not significant. The findings of this study make an important contribution toward filling the gap in exploring how the tourism industry maximizes social media marketing features as digital marketing in knowing consumers’ purchasing decisions. This study has shed some light on how marketers effectively manage and take advantage of social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Tik-Tok. Further research comparing with bigger data and other countries or regions will enrich the research findings.

Published: October 2024

This study analyses the value of collaborative education strategies for improving workforce development in Malaysia, focusing on collaborations between educational institutions and industry. In recent years, the Malaysian job market has experienced major challenges, especially in terms of graduate preparation for employment. Many graduates struggle due to inadequate skills and limited employment opportunities, emphasizing the critical need for comprehensive educational changes. These coordinated activities aim to bridge the education-industry divide by developing connections between academia and the business sector. Moreover, the study uses a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with industry managers to understand better the impact of partnership programs, government support, and community participation on workforce readiness. Through these interviews, the study emphasizes the importance of collaborative education in providing graduates with the skills and competencies they need to succeed in a competitive work market. The findings show that, while these collaborations significantly boost graduates' employability and skill sets, issues such as unequal access to opportunities and an overreliance on government assistance remain. Furthermore, the analysis discovers gaps in the available literature, particularly in the context of Malaysia, emphasizing the need for further research targeted to this environment. Future research directions will include empirical investigations to quantify the impact of collaborative education initiatives, quantitative analyses to evaluate the efficacy of various programs, and policy recommendations to improve Malaysia's workforce development and foster long-term economic growth. By addressing these issues, the study hopes to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how collaborative education may effectively bridge Malaysia’s skills gap.
Revolutionizing cardiovascular care: the role of natriuretic peptides and neprilysin inhibition
Authors: Yan Ye Wai , Mozdziak Paul , Wozniak Slawomir 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, with heart failure (HF) as a significant contributor. Biomarkers, particularly natriuretic peptides like BNP and NT-proBNP, have transformed HF diagnosis and management by offering vital insights into cardiac function and helping to distinguish cardiac from non-cardiac symptoms. Neprilysin inhibitors, such as Sacubitril/Valsartan, enhance the effects of these peptides by preventing their degradation, representing a novel therapeutic approach. This paper examines the impact of natriuretic peptides and neprilysin inhibition on HF management, highlighting their role in improving patient outcomes.

Authors: Bielińska Karolina , Kadelska Anna 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study presents selected craniometric measurements compared to the thickness of the frontal bone of the domestic horse. The study was carried out on 10 domestic horse skulls from the collection of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. On the basis of the results obtained, correlation was carried out according to Pearson’s method, and a trend graph was created, showing the relationship of individual values to frontal bone thickness. The present research is a preliminary study, and further research, based on a larger study group, can help minimize their suffering. According to the study, the greatest positive correlation and relationship is shown by the length between the alveolar borders of the third incisor, while a negative correlation was found for the width of the cerebrocranium. In the future, it is possible to develop a formula to estimate the thickness of the frontal bone in horses.
Analysis of Comparability of PCV in Surveying-Grade GNSS Antenna – Topcon HIPER-VR Case Study
Authors: BARYŁA Radosław , DAWIDOWICZ Karol 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
It is well known that the phase center of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antenna is not a stable point. For any given GNSS antenna, the phase center will change with the direction of the incoming signal from a satellite, as well as the frequency. Ignoring these phase center variations (PCVs) in GNSS data processing can lead to notable errors, especially in vertical position component determination. To avoid the problem, antenna PCV together with the phase center offset (PCO) information are recommended to be used in GNSS observation processing. We currently distinguish between individual and type-mean phase center correction (PCC) models. These models describe the variations in the phase center of the antenna as a function of the elevation angle and azimuth. In general, the primary difference between individual and type-mean models lies in their specificity. Individual models are highly precise but are valid only for a particular antenna model, while the type-mean models are more general and can be applied to a broad range of antennas of the same type, but may suffer from a lower level of precision. This paper aims to analyze the comparability of PCV in surveying-grade GNSS antennas. For the analyses, we propose to use an originally designed bench with precisely defined relative positions of the seven antenna mounting points. Preliminary studies have been performed using GPS observations on L1 and L2 frequencies recorded by seven Topcon HIPER-VR antennas. The results proved that the comparability of PCV for this antenna is high. The position error did not exceed 3 mm. It could be assumed that the type-mean PCC model could describe PCV all antennas of this type with good accuracy.
Changes in the Water Surface Level of the Baltic Sea from Satellite Altimetry and Gravity Missions
Authors: BIAŁAS Jakub , SOŚNICA Krzysztof 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Satellite altimetry provides high-accuracy geometrical measurements of sea level changes. We analyze altimetry time series representing sea surface height anomalies over the mean sea surface provided by the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3 satellite missions to estimate the annual rate of sea level rise. Then, we compare the results with satellite gravimetric data from GRACE and GRACE Follow-On missions and surface water temperature data, employing statistical analyses to examine the interrelationships and correlations between them. We carry out the main analyses for the period 2001–2021 with a division into 5-year periods for six different areas of the Baltic Sea. The altimetric results show that between 2001 and 2021, the water level of the Baltic Sea rose by 5.8 mm/year on average. About 72% of the changes detected by altimetry missions can be explained by satellite gravimetry from GRACE and GRACE Follow-On, which means that the mass component is responsible for most of the observed sea level change, whereas the remaining 28% can be greatly explained by thermal expansion due to the water temperature rise.
Investigating the Effects of PU-Based Back-Coating with Boric Acid and Titanium Dioxide Additives on Flame Retardancy Levels and Comfort Properties of 100% Cotton Denim Fabric
Authors: Öztürkmen Ebru , Güneşoğlu Cem , Topalbekiroğlu Mehmet 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study aimed to develop a cost-effective and resource-efficient application to enhance the thermal stability, flame retardancy, self-cleaning, and antibacterial properties of cotton denim fabrics through a single-step, flexible, and simple polyurethane (PU) based back-coating method, ultimately increasing the use of denim fabrics in daily and work clothes thanks to the increased functionality. This method utilizes boric acid (H3BO3) and a binary composite of H3BO3-titanium dioxide (TiO2) as functional additives while considering comfort parameters. Limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical burning tests were conducted to explore the thermal stability and flame retardancy of the samples, while assessments of air permeability, water vapour permeability, thermal resistance, and thermal absorptivity were performed to investigate the comfort properties. Comparing two kinds of back-coated denim fabrics, H3BO3-TiO2 back-coated cotton fabric showed the best flame retardancy with the lowest char length (45 mm) and highest LOI (27%). The air permeability values of back-coated fabrics decreased by approximately half compared to the untreated denim fabric. Although the water vapour permeability values decreased, they were less affected by the coating. Coating application reduced thermal conductivity and thermal absorbency, resulting in more thermally resistant denim fabric. This study demonstrates the potential utility of a PU-based coating incorporating TiO2 and H3BO3 on traditional cotton denim fabrics to enhance flame resistance while minimizing any adverse effects on the overall thermal comfort of the fabric.
