The attendance system is an important thing that is used to assess employee performance. Currently, many companies or organizations have developed attendance systems, but there are still many organizations that have not optimized attendance with a reliable system. This happens at the Palu City Tourism Office, where attendance still uses manual recording in album books. Many problems occur with the manual attendance process, so it is necessary to create an attendance system. This research aims to help the Palu City Tourism Office for attendance management by using face recognition technology using the Single Shot Detector (SSD) algorithm. The system development model uses Waterfall. This research uses 20 different facial poses with four people each with 5 poses. This research uses javascript programming language, Next JS framework, tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL database, and face-api.js library. Tests carried out with blackbox results all features on the system function properly then based on the results of face detection testing, the test results obtained that the Single Shot Detector algorithm can detect facial images recorded on the camera quickly and accurately in medium and bright lighting with a distance of 40-80 cm. The result of this research is a system that can recognize faces well by matching the training data image with the face image recorded on the camera in realtime

Authors: Gnanathilaka, L.P.S.D.  
Published: February 2024

Agro-tourism as a branch of tourism refers to a form of commercial enterprise that links agricultural industries and tourism to attract visitors to a farm or other agricultural businesses with the objectives of generating income and entertaining or educating the visitors. As the research problem, it was identified that limited number of research has been done on agro-tourism and its impact on the experiences of domestic tourists to travel as a path to establish a sustainable tourism industry in Sri Lanka. Hence, this study aimed to study the impact of agro-tourism on travel experiences of Sri Lankan domestic tourists. A mixed research design method was used in the study. It was mainly based on the primary data and the sample in the study was 50 which was randomly selected out of the total population of 233. As the variables, general demographic variables, main source of finance, trip length, major reasons to travel, the most favourite experience in selecting the destination and willingness to travel again were used for the study. Cross tabulation in SPSS analysis was mainly used with the descriptive analysis to obtain the results. As per the findings of the study, seventy percent of females and thirty percent of males were recorded representing the whole sample. Eighty four percent of domestic tourists had the willingness to travel again while sixteen percent had not. From the Cross-tabulation results, it was determined that 82.85% females from 70% and 86.66% of males from 30% showed interest to travel again to the same place. Further results showed that both female and male domestic tourists were interested to pick fresh fruits/vegetables from the farm recording 57.14% and 66.66% respectively. Rest of the domestic tourists was also interested in visiting agricultural farms, petting and feeding animals, and other activities. It is an evident fact that most of the domestic tourists are willing to gain live experiences in engaging into certain types of agriculture sectorial practices. Hence, it is highly recommended to concern on the agricultural practices of tourists’ areas in Sri Lanka as both domestic and foreign tourists yearn to gain live experiences in current context. Further researchers are suggested to study on the foreign tourists and their travel experiences in connection with agro-tourism.

Published: February 2024

In tropical countries like Sri Lanka, a significant amount of air-conditioner (A/C) condensate water is often discharged into the environment without being utilized. Although considerable number of reports available for South and East Asia, research related to AC condensate in Sri Lanka is scanty. The aim of this research was to analyse the quality and quantity of the discharged condensed water after understanding the potential environmental concerns. Monaragala district was chosen for this study due to its dry climate and the widespread use of air conditioners in most shops, resulting in a substantial discharge of condensed water into the environment. Water samples were taken from 31 institutions within Buttala area. These samples were collected in triplicate, and the mean value was used for analysis. When considering all parameter values, pH, TDS, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity, and color showed good compliance with the SLS 614:2013 and NEA standards. (Mean values were 7.317, 28.37 ppm, 1.47 NTU, 54.21 µS, 10.74 and standard deviation values
were 0.1138, 13.46, 0.1961, 26.01, 5.047 respectively). Therefore, the condensed water from air conditioners is unlikely to have environmental impacts and can be safely used for irrigation and agricultural purposes. In the case of potable water, all the parameters analyzed in this research were well-fitted with the potable water standards. However, if it is intended for drinking purposes, further analysis for heavy metal contamination is required. By considering 11 number of A/C units, an amount of condensed water 0.97L/h/ton is released to the environment; equivalent to approximately
7.76 L/ton per day. The values were taken in duplicates. The volume of condensate water, while considerable, doesn’t need to be released into the environment without purpose. Instead, this water can be efficiently utilized for various applications, including garden irrigation, toilet flushing, cooling applications, cleaning, fire suppression, and construction. This suggestion is imperative, not only for the Buttala area but for the entire country of Sri Lanka, as this approach can yield several positive effects on both the environment and the economy.

Published: February 2024

Insufficient quality can make water unfit for a range of human purposes. As a result, water is becoming scarcer globally as population growth continues. Water quality assessment is essential for effective water resource management. The present research fills the gap in scientific knowledge and information regarding the groundwater quality status in Attaragoda Grama Niladhari (GN) Division in Galle, Sri Lanka. Randomly selected 33 groundwater samples were collected from 142/A Attaragoda GN division monthly from November 2021 to March 2022. Together, 13 selected general water quality parameters, including temperature, pH, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, total nitrate, total phosphate, total alkalinity, total hardness, ammonia, and fluoride, were measured once a month during the study period using standard methodologies. Additionally, four metals, including Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium, were analysed for the randomly selected 15 locations during the study period. Statistical analysis was done using Minitab 17 and MS Excel 13. Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated using electrical conductivity, TDS, pH, hardness, phosphate, alkalinity, and nitrate parameters in Attaragoda GND. Results indicated that, except for Fe, none of the tested parameters exceeded the maximum permissible levels for drinking water throughout the study. Accordingly, all locations were categorized as good for drinking purposes. For a more precise evaluation of water quality, the WQI can be improved by future research focusing on heavy metal and microbial contaminants.

Authors: Rajeevan, R.  , Vijitha, V.  , Anchanadevi, S.  
Published: February 2024

Chili is one of the widely used spices all around the world. Over usage of inorganic fertilizer to satisfy ever growing demand for food leads to detrimental impacts on human health and environment. Therefore, this study was intended to investigate the efficiency of azolla with different organic fertilizer on growth and yield of chili, variety Super. A field experiment was carried out with five different treatments, T1-Azolla+Compost, T2-Azolla+Vermicompost, T3- Azolla+Panchagowvya, T4-Azolla+Vermitea, and T5-Control with five replicates and laid in randomized complete block design. The prepared organic fertilizers were applied from two weeks of transplanting and continued for 12 weeks in one week interval. Then the growth parameter such as mean plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf width, number of flowers, pod length, pod diameter, pod weight and total yield were measured in different time duration according to the type of measurement. According to the results, T2 showed better performance in terms of mean plant height (45 cm), number of leaves per plant (43 cm), leaf width (2.8 cm), pod length (4.34 cm), individual pod weight (6.94 g), and total yield (176.8 g) whereas comparatively lower performance was observed in control. Considering the significant differences recorded in the statistical analysis for all the parameters other than the mean number of flowers, it can be concluded that the application of Azolla solution with vermicompost improves the growth performance and yield of chili. Therefore, it is recommended to adapt this combination as an organic fertilizer among the farmers to reduce the usage of inorganic fertilizers.

Published: February 2024

Background: Composite scores have been increasingly used in trials for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to detect disease progression, such as the AD Composite Score (ADCOMS) in the lecanemab trial. Objective: To develop a new composite score to improve the prediction of outcome change. Methods: We proposed to develop a new composite score based on the statistical model in the ADCOMS, by removing duplicated sub-scales and adding the model selection in the partial least squares (PLS) regression. Results: The new AD composite Score with variable Selection (ADSS) includes 7 cognitive sub-scales. ADSS can increase the sensitivity to detect disease progression as compared to the existing total scores, which leads to smaller sample sizes using the ADSS in trial designs. Conclusions: ADSS can be utilized in AD trials to improve the success rate of drug development with a high sensitivity to detect disease progression in early stages.
Research on financial risk early warning system model based on second-order blockchain differential equation
Authors: Li Hongyan 
Published: February 2024

A financial risk early warning system (FREWS) is a disclosure and tracking mechanism that provides advance notice of potential issues, hazards, and potentials that might affect the business’s finances. Some elderly individuals living alone may experience financial difficulties, which may hinder their ability to pay for appropriate medical care, property maintenance, and other essential expenses. Financial difficulties can add tension and diminish their quality of life. Financial results, investment risk, and possible insolvencies may all be detected by implementing early warning systems. Management might use the window of opportunity provided by early warning systems to avert or lessen the impact of possible issues. Almost all FREWS rely on some financial statement analysis. Financial measures are combined with the EWS, accounting information, to determine the firm’s success in its field. Organizational success depends on effective financial oversight, which is at the heart of each business. Studying the enhancement of early warning capacities is relevant because there are no adequate risk evaluation methods to generate realistic estimates. To minimize the FREWS, this research provides a systemic model based on a second-order block chain differential equation (SBDE). China’s systemic financial liabilities have also been quantified using the expected investment returns of 64 selected financial enterprises in China between February 2006 and September 2020 as the datasets. The financial risk warning approach is compared and analyzed primarily using analytical and comparative techniques. The suggested method is 96% accurate in experiments. Consequently, the proposed algorithm compares favorably to others regarding both computing efficacy and precision and has strong predictability.

Authors: Raorane Ashwini , Magare Dhiraj , Mistry Yogita 
Published: February 2024

In order to identify and locate flaws in solar thermal images, this research suggests using an optimization-tuned CNN classifier. The input thermal images are initially pre-processed to remove the noise present in them. After pre-processing, features like LBP, LDP, and LOOP are extracted. The collected features are then combined to produce a feature vector, which is the input to the proposed CNN classifier. Single hotspots, multiple hotspots, and string hotspots are the three types of faults that are supposed to be classified. After the classification process, the defects are located using the VGG-16 model. The weights of the CNN and VGG-16 models are modified using the proposed AqWH algorithm, which includes the distinctive characteristics of the wild horse and the Aquila search agents, to enhance classification and localization accuracy. The suggested possesses accuracy levels of 90% for classification and 96.11% for localization tasks, showing its superiority over conventional methods.
