Published: July 2022

This research paper emphasizes the relationship between certain variables that influence the consumer's intention to use Self-Service Technologies (SST) in the retail sector. With the rapid growth of technology, various technological.
innovations are being introduced to make it easier for people to satisfy their needs and wants. One of the technologies that are very popular among customers is self-service checkout. However, previous studies on investigating the SST mainly focus on the technology adoption perspective and only a few studies have attempted to report from the consumer behavior perspective. As such, this paper aims to investigate the relationship between the customer’s traits (technology anxiety, need for interaction, technology innovativeness, and demographics) towards the consumer intention to use SST. Two hundred answers were collected randomly among the Tesco customer in Malaysia. The data were then analyzed using SmartPls version 3 to validate the developed hypothesis which forms the foundation for the research model. The finding revealed that only technology anxiety, technology innovativeness, and demographics affect the consumer intention to use SST. The findings are important to the retailer to continue improving the current system in addressing 1. potential user(demographic), system complexity and safety (technology anxiety), and system features-interactive system (technology innovativeness) to give a different experience to the user as compared to traditional practice.

Recently, the term blended learning (BL) emerged as a new trend in teaching models and learning styles with the digital advantages support. This article presents a systematic review of literature that explores the strategies for successful BL in multi-sides to enhance student learning and development outcomes. To reach the objectives, the literature accessed of Scopus and web of science databases covering research published between 2011 and 2021 and 39 items were analysed. The bibliometric analysis identifies the cluster themes based on texting frequency. The vital steps of data classification follow thoughtfully and carefully in the platform of concept, findings, author's reputation, and years published. In the last conclusions of the study, reports explain the past literature and recent outbreak. The results cover three main themes: digital support for student engagement, personalisation learning, and instructors of management courses.
These findings are expected to benefit stakeholders involved in employing BLin which instructors use integrated technology and online learning materials with traditional face-to-face classroom activities.
Integrated Deep Learning Model for Heart Disease Prediction Using Variant Medical Data Sets
Authors: Fazlur Syed Anwar Hussainy , Thillaigovindan Senthil Kumar 
Published: July 2022

The Phenomenon of heart disease prediction has been well studied. There exist numerous techniques exist in literature which uses different features and methods. However, the accuracy of predicting heart disease is still a questioning factor. Towards improving the performance of heart disease prediction an efficient Integrated Deep Learning Model with Convolution Neural Network (IDLM_CNN) is presented in this article. The model considers various features from different data sets of lungs, diabetic and clinical features. The integrated model extracts texture features from lung images in form of mass values. Similarly, the blood glucose, BMI and other diabetic features are extracted from diabetic data set. Also, lifestyle features like physical habits, food habits and smoking habits are extracted from clinical data sets. Such features extracted from various data sets are combined and trained with Convolution neural network to support the disease prediction. The method convolves the features of lungs and combines with other features to compute Disease Prone Weight (DPW) towards cardiac disease. Based on the value of DPW, the method predicts the possibility of heart disease. The proposed method increases the performance of disease prediction and reduces the false ratio.

Abstract
The type 2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, which share use of an IL-4 receptor α-chain and its nuclear induction of the transcription factor STAT6, are crucial in elicitation and maintenance of allergic conditions including asthma. STAT6 binds poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)14, an ADP-ribosyl monotransferase. Elimination of PARP14 by gene targeting led to attenuation of OVA-specific allergic lung inflammation. However, PARP14 has multiple functional domains apart from the portion that catalyzes ADP-ribosylation, and it is not clear whether inhibition of the catalytic function has any biological consequence. Using BALB/c mice sensitized to the allergen Alternaria alternata, we show that peroral administration of RBN012759, a highly selective inhibitor of ADP-ribosylation by PARP14 with negligible impact on other members of the PARP gene family, achieved biologically active plasma concentrations and altered several responses to the Ag. Specifically, the pharmaceutical compound decreased mucus after allergen challenge, blunted the induced increases in circulating IgE, and prevented suppression of IgG2a. We conclude that PARP14 catalytic activity can contribute to pathogenesis in allergic or atopic processes and propose that other biological endpoints dependent on ADP-ribosylation by PARP14 can be targeted using selective inhibition.

Faith and Reason: An Inquiry into the Concept of Faith in Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling
Authors: Cahyawicaksana Yohanes Kukuh , Fery Yohanes 
Published: July 2022

Faith is often accused of being irrational and considered lower than reason because it is not objective and universal. In other words, at a practical level, believers cannot always obey God’s commands communicated in their inwardness. However, they must always be subject to the demands of a universal and objective reason. This elaboration attempts to counter this assumption departing from the description that Kierkegaard presented in his work, Fear and Trembling. There, Kierkegaard states that a single individual believer is higher than the ethical-rational demands that bind him. In other words, the purpose of this text is to show that faith has its rationality and is not subject to reason. Therefore, through the textual analysis method of Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling, this paper would like to analyze the constitutive elements of faith, how they work, and why faith is not subject to ratio. The point of view used in this elaboration is Kierkegaardian subjectivity. The analysis finds that the constitutive elements of faith are anxiety, courage, passion, the strength of the absurd, and hope (as components of faith), which need to be carried out with a double movement of faith.

The task of shepherding has always faced growth challenges and obstacles to this day. The level of spiritual community and the arrival of souls is decreasing among the younger generation, and the emergence of the hybrid medium as a system born in the digital era is another challenge. Pastoral relationships and stewardship particularly with this digital native tend to widen and lose their essential value. How can shepherding be consistent and sustainable in this digital age? Such a strategy is the solution? The purposes of this study are to describe the steps of grazing consistency and resilience; redefine the duties and responsibilities of a shepherd according to biblical standards; provide practical steps in pastoral care in the digital age. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The result is a contribution to church pastors to continue to be motivated and persist in their calling for service; to spiritual practitioners to be able to work together with pastoral teams to serve souls, and to be a source of reference for pioneering pastoralists and prospective pastors in later.
