Non-Destructive Evaluation of Oil and Free Fatty Acid Content of Oil Palm Fresh Fruit Bunch Based on Thermal Properties Using Partial Least Square (PLS)
Authors: Guspa Monica , Makky Muhammad , Cherie Dinah 
Published: August 2024

Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in the world, contributing 59 % of global production in 2022. The palm oil industry is a pillar of the economy and a source of foreign exchange through agricultural exports. To increase productivity and global competitiveness, strategies are needed, including improving cultivation technology and determining optimum harvest times through the application of appropriate cultivation technology. This research aims to increase oil palm productivity by focusing on the harvest time of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB). The sample used was Tenera variety palm FFB with two levels of ripeness, namely 140-160 DAP and 200-220 HSP. Non-destructive technology can accurately measure the optimum ripeness level of FFB. This approach uses thermal camera technology for nondestructive evaluation, recording the intensity of infrared radiation from TBS. All measurement parameters resulting from thermal image processing (RGB, L*a*b and temperature) will be used as input variable data to be modeled with oil content free fatty acid data in the laboratory. The model design will be built using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Square (PLS) methods. The results showed that the coefficient of determination (R2) for oil content was 0.8681 and free fatty acid content was 0.786. Keywords: FFB, Nondestructive, Oil content, PLS, Thermal properties

Authors: Luu Thi-Minh-Ngoc , Nguyen Phuong Mai 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Nowadays, the corporate governance quality (CGQ) of a company has become increasingly important as it is the benchmark for the investment decision-making process. However, there are not many studies of CGQ in the Vietnamese public sector. In this regard, this study adopted and adapted the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) corporate governance scorecard and the Vietnamese Listed Company Awards scorecard to evaluate the CGQ of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Vietnam. Data from 220 equitized SOEs were collected from a self-administered survey and double-checked with information from in-depth interviews with the company’s managers and their documents. Collected data were analyzed to score the CGQ of surveyed companies. Results showed that the CGQ of survey companies met the basic requirements that comply with the legal framework. The analysis also showed the differences between two groups of state-owned enterprises: listed versus unlisted joint-stock companies. Based on the findings, we suggested companies improve and adjust their governance policies following 77 scorecard criteria and apply international best practices in corporate governance to promote their brand value to become more appealing to investors.

Abstract
Recent strides in generative artificial intelligence, particularly large language models, have been propelled by foundation models – learning algorithms trained on extensive and diverse datasets encompassing various subjects. This technology, inspired by the complexity of the human brain, unveils a new frontier in generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), showing its potential in creativity by generating innovative content based on absorbed data and user prompts. It is forecasted that the conversational AI and virtual assistant segment is experiencing the highest growth rate within the contact center industry, projected to fuel a 24% increase in the market during 2024. In spite of all remarkable performances, the incipient stage of generative AI calls for a careful consideration, as technological and ethical challenges demand attention and awareness. This research delves into the base principle which empowers users to build personalized chatbots trained on your data. This stand-alone footprint can further exemplify the transformative potential of generative artificial intelligence, extending its reach beyond professionals to individuals and tremendously remodeling the landscape of chatbots.
Text generation lies at the intersection of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence, forming a specialized area within natural language processing. It implies a thorough procedure where a model is trained to be able to recognize and interpret the context of specific input data, subsequently generating text that pertains to the input’s subject matter.
We have identified gap areas that require in-depth research. For instance, a broader number of papers relies solely on architecture optimization, performance comparison or application-specific studies. Therefore, this paper gives a bird’s eye view of the effective algorithm flow of a traditional generative model, using Long Short-Term Memory networks – part of the recurrent neural networks part family. The purpose of the current study focuses to enrich the existing body of knowledge on how a response generation-based model operates, therefore paving the way for chatbots development and deployment.

Authors: Ammar Muhammad , Amjad Imran , Nisar Muhammad , Ghoneim Omnya S. A. 
Published: August 2024

Objectives:
Falls among the elderly are a prevalent concern. Maintaining balance and preventing falls necessitate cognitive processes, such as information processing speed and executive functions. The objective was to determine the impacts of board games on cognition, balance, and risk of falls among community-dwelling elders.

Methods:
Sixty-four elders aged 65 years and above, with mini–mental state examination (MMSE), scores above 26 and Berg balance scale (BBS) scores between 41 and 52, were recruited with a sample size of 64 divided into two groups, 32 in each group. Participants were randomized through the sealed envelope technique into experimental (engaging in board games) and control groups (not involved in board game activity). The BBS, MMSE, timed upand-go test (TUGT), and dynamic gait index (DGI) were assessed at baseline, four weeks, and eight weeks.

Results:
Participants engaging in board games (mean age 69.93 ± 4.77) demonstrated significant improvements in cognition, with MMSE scores increasing from 26.8 ± 0.83 at baseline to 28.6 ± 0.74 after eight weeks (P < 0.001). BBS scores enhanced from 47.2 ± 1.84 to 49.8 ± 5.15 (P < 0.001), DGI scores improved from 19.65 ± 1.49 to 21.37 ± 1.47 (P < 0.001), and TUGT scores decreased from 10.40 ± 0.69 to 10.22 ± 0.67 (P < 0.001). Mixed analysis of variance revealed significant differences between experimental and control groups for MMSE (P < 0.001), BBS (P < 0.001), DGI (P < 0.001), and TUGT (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The eight-week interactive physical-cognitive training program involving board games was found to enhance cognitive performance, mobility, and balance and decrease fall risk among the elderly.

Background:
Over the past two decades, endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EESBS) has revolutionized the treatment of skull base tumors by enabling minimal access to resect significant pathologies such as meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, and chordomas. Despite its efficacy, complications such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak pose significant challenges, with an average incidence of 8.9% following EESBS. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with postoperative CSF leak after employing an endoscopic endonasal approach for skull base surgery, focusing on patients treated at King Abdul-Aziz Medical City in Jeddah and King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

Methods:
A retrospective review of patients who underwent an endoscopic endonasal approach for the resection of intradural skull base pathology between January 2016 and December 2022 was performed with a total of 51 patients. Basic demographic data were collected, along with patient comorbidities, presenting symptoms, tumor pathology, tumor site, the extent of resection, and outcomes.

Results:
51 participants were analyzed, with a mean age of 43.41. Male participants comprised (58.8%), while headaches were the most common symptom (74.5%), followed by visual disturbances (51.0%). Nonsecretory tumors predominated, primarily located in the sellar and suprasellar regions (58.8%). Gross total resection was performed in the majority (56.9%), with a 9.8% incidence of postoperative CSF leak. Notably, all four patients with CSF leak experienced preoperative headaches. Hypertension was prevalent in Cases 1 and 4, with Case 4 having a history of neurological disease and radiation therapy. Anterior skull base tumors were most frequent in Cases 3 and 4.

Conclusion:
The incidence of CSF leakage after surgery in this study was similar to that previously reported. It is worth noting that repeated surgeries may increase the risk of postoperative CSF leakage. Therefore, it is important to carefully evaluate the surgical approach for tumor removal and skull base reconstruction, considering the tumor characteristics and the patient’s overall condition.

PROBLEMS OF DEFINING PLAGIARISM IN ACADEMIC AND POP-JAZZ MUSICAL ART
Authors: БОБЕЙКО А А. 
Published: August 2024

Статья посвящена проблеме определения состава преступления, связанного с плагиатом в музыкальном искусстве. Констатируя наличие сложной проблемы в сфере исключительно большой дистанции между теоретическими представлениями о плагиате и правоприменительной практикой и необходимостью совершенствования последней, автор ставит цель - прийти к пониманию возможных путей наиболее эффективного решения данной проблемы. Анализ текстов отечественного и зарубежного законодательства, а также научной литературы по исследуемой проблематике позволили прийти автору к выводу о том, что правоприменительная практика основана на формальном, совершенно не дающем возможности полноценного разделения плагиата и творческого заимствования, подходе. Анализ же научной литературы позволяет сделать вывод о том, что и наука на современном этапе ее развития не в состоянии дать конкретно-практических рекомендаций по такому разделению. Исследуя случаи досудебных и судебных разбирательств в сфере некорректных заимствований в академическом и эстрадно-джазовом музыкальном искусстве в России и за рубежом в XX-XXI веках, автор приходит к парадоксальному выводу об отсутствии необходимости совершенствования действующего законодательства...
The article is devoted to the problem of determining the corpus delicti of plagiarism in the art of music. Noting the presence of a complex problem in the area of an exceptionally large distance between theoretical ideas about plagiarism and law enforcement practice and the need to improve the latter, the author sets a goal - to come to an understanding of possible ways to most effectively solve this problem. Analysis of the texts of domestic and foreign legislation, as well as scientific literature on the issues under study, allowed the author to come to the conclusion that law enforcement practice is based on a formal approach that does not at all allow for a full separation of plagiarism and creative borrowing. An analysis of the scientific literature allows us to conclude that science at the present stage of its development is not able to give specific practical recommendations for such a division. Investigating cases of pre-trial and judicial proceedings in the field of incorrect borrowings in academic and pop-jazz musical art in Russia and abroad in the 20th - 21st centuries, the author comes to the paradoxical conclusion that there is no need to improve the current legislation...

The results of experimental studies are presented, determining the internal defects of potato tubers using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method, which provide access to information about the state and distribution of water at the cellular and tissue levels. In order to carry out internal defect detection studies, three groups of potato tubers were prepared, comprising conditioned and unconditioned samples. The total sampling of potato tubers amounted to 38 samples. To create hidden defects in the form of darkening of tuber pulp, the method of controlled impact on a hard surface was used. Methodology for conducting experimental studies and time parameters of NMR are described. The studied potato tubers were placed in a strong magnetic field with intensity of 1.5 Tesla. Analysis of T2 images was chosen as the main method for analyzing the obtained results, since this method allows to trace one of the most important indicators of detecting internal damage of potato tubers – lack of water in the damaged areas of the pulp. The damaged areas in the images of tubers have a dark color, while the healthy tissue is light. A comparative analysis of images obtained using NMR and full-scale images of tubers’ section was carried out, allowing to determine with high accuracy the coincidence of location of defects detected by non-invasive method with their actual location in the tuber. The study showed the value of NMR for a detailed non-invasive method for determining hidden defects in potato tubers on automatic grading machines.
