Abstract

Previous research on the interference of very low frequency (VLF) signals in the equator region was inadequate and largely concentrated in the middle and high latitude regions. Therefore, this research aims to determine the disruption of VLF waves in the ionospheric D-region above Malaysia, which is in the equator area. This paper presents observations of early/fast, early/slow, and lightning-induced electron precipitation (LEP) events in January 2010. Broadband and narrowband data are monitored and investigated using Japan’s JJI Ebino transmitter (32°40' N, 130°81' E) to the receiver at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (2°55' N, 101°46' E). Broadband and narrowband data are analyzed with theoretical considerations and linked to events from interference in the ionospheric D-region. Many early/fast, early/slow, and LEP events are found to originate from the lightning release activity emitted and may alter the amplitude and VLF signal phase in the lower layer ionosphere over Malaysia.

Abstract

Telemedicine diabetes mellitus (Tele-DM) mobile health (mHealth) tool functionality, usefulness, and user feedback were examined in this study. Data from nine distinct users of type-2 diabetes (T2D) patients, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and administrators was analyzed to determine functionality. Data retrieval times increased with database user data amount, according to the study. A 3-month program with five T2D patients reduced weight (0.98 kg) and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (0.34%). This shows that Tele-DM helps manage diabetes, but more participants are needed to confirm. Nine Tele-DM customers were satisfied with the app's reception, according to 14 online questionnaires. Overall, Tele-DM simplifies diabetic self-management in a novel way. This study shows its potential to transform diabetes management and address major healthcare issues.

Abstract

This research's primary objective is to investigate the educational potential by investigating the metaverse website, emphasizing from users' perspectives. It is critical to examine the functionality to identify any potential faults in the learning experience because of the complexities of metaverse apps, which include 3D virtual environments and complex interactions. This study uses heuristic evaluation, which is a useful method for analyzing application success by utilizing well-established design principles and best practices in user interface and user experience design. To conduct this study, a panel of five experts, each with outstanding competence in the topic, was assembled to test the metaverse website in an educational setting. The evaluation was built on the ten heuristic evaluation standards, which served as a solid framework for measuring its usability and functionality. According to the findings of this examination, the average severity number of heuristic issues is one. This result indicates that the website is under "cosmetic problems only." While this implies that specific areas need to be addressed to improve overall quality, it also means that these difficulties do not take precedence over other vital ones. As a result, the website has significant promise as a metaverse instructional platform, and changes can be made to further improve its efficiency.

Abstract

Inventory is crucial in maintaining a smooth production process and meeting consumer demand for manufacturing companies. This research focuses on production problems involving defects, rework, and scrap items in stochastic demand. This research aims to develop a production-availability model by minimizing the expectation of total cost (ETC). The model includes four main decision variables, namely production quantity (Q), safety factor (k), production rate (P), and rework rate (P1). This research uses the Aquila optimizer algorithm to optimize the objective function. It compares with the heuristic procedure and Harris Hawk optimization algorithm. The results showed that the Aquila optimizer algorithm successfully optimized the production-availability problem. A comparison between algorithms indicates that the Aquila optimizer algorithm performs equivalently to the Harris Hawk optimization algorithm and outperforms the heuristic procedure. Sensitivity analysis shows that increasing demand uncertainty increases ETC and k. At the same time, it can decrease Q.

Abstract

The progress of mobile technology has undergone substantial development in recent years, leading to the emergence of new and creative ideas. This paper investigates the factors influencing consumers' intentions to use mobile commerce in Malaysia. The DeLone and McLean updated information system success model served as the basis for this study's proposed model. A convenience sampling method was employed to collect 310 surveys from smartphone owners who conduct mobile commerce activities in Malaysia. A “two-stage structural equation modeling” (SEM) technique assessed the research model and the study's assumptions. The findings revealed that “information quality”, “service quality”, “system quality”, and “trust” significantly influence consumers' “intention to use mobile commerce in Malaysia”. The findings further reveal that “system quality” is the strongest factor influencing the “intention to use mobile commerce in Malaysia”. Therefore, the research outcomes will benefit academicians, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the mobile commerce industry in Malaysia. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first empirical study that expanded the “information system success model” by including “trust” in the context of Malaysian mobile commerce users’ “intentions”. However, further research is recommended to explore the factors influencing consumers' “intention to use mobile commerce in Malaysia”.

Abstract

Fire and smoke pose severe threats, causing damage to property and the environment and endangering lives. Traditional fire detection methods struggle with accuracy and speed, hindering real-time detection. Thus, this study introduces an improved fire and smoke detection approach utilizing the you only look once (YOLO)v8-based deep learning model. This work aims to enhance accuracy and speed, which are crucial for early fire detection. The methodology involves preprocessing a large dataset containing 5,700 images depicting fire and smoke scenarios. YOLOv8 has been trained and validated, outperforming some baseline models- YOLOv7, YOLOv5, ResNet-32, and MobileNet-v2 in the precision, recall, and mean average precision (mAP) metrics. The proposed method achieves 68.3% precision, 54.6% recall, 60.7% F1 score, and 57.3% mAP. Integrating YOLOv8 in fire and smoke detection systems can significantly improve response times, enhance the ability to mitigate fire outbreaks, and potentially save lives and property. This research advances fire detection systems and establishes a precedent for applying deep learning techniques to critical safety applications, pushing the boundaries of innovation in public safety.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the world. The risk of coronary heart disease can be reduced or even prevented by early detection. Early detection of CHD has been widely developed using machine learning, but the machine learning algorithms used sometimes have low interpretability. Low interpretability makes it difficult for users to understand the cause of the decision. Referring to this, this research aims to propose an early detection model using machine learning interpretability, which is implemented using the C5.0 algorithm and interpreted using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP). This research method is divided into 3 stages, namely preprocessing, interpretable machine learning, and performance evaluation. This study used 215 patient data from Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital. Testing the resulting model using the k-folds cross-validation method. The test results show that the risk factors that make a high contribution to the output of the coronary heart disease detection model are systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and employment level, with the resulting accuracy performance of 84.64%. The proposed model can be an alternative for early prediction of coronary heart disease which can explain the influence of each selected risk factor on the model output.

Abstract

Despite the absence of recent research, Mapanuepe Lake in the Philippines has been a significant environmental concern due to potential heavy metal contamination. Hence, the study assessed the heavy metal concentration of water and surface sediments and identified the other physicochemical properties of Mapanuepe Lake in San Marcelino, Zambales, Philippines. This descriptive research employed physical profiling and physicochemical characterization of water and surface sediments of the lake. Six sampling stations in the lake were selected based on their current land use and nearness to the point source of heavy metal pollution. The study found that the Mapanuepe Lake is a thriving place for algae and zooplankton. The heavy metal concentration of the lake water and sediment sample is within the standard limit. The water conductivity is considered to be within the standards. In terms of pH level, the sampling sites obtained a pH level within the acceptable limit. The concentration of heavy metals in the lake water and sediments is generally within the standard limit. Other physicochemical properties are also in the acceptable range. The community people and local government must collaborate to implement the crafted strategic environmental sustainability plan, which includes biodiversity conservation and ecotourism promotion. Likewise, the study provides updated and comprehensive data on the status of the lake's heavy metal concentration for policy formulation and further research.
