Instant messaging (IM) applications are ubiquitous tools for communication and information exchange. However, research examining user acceptance of locally developed IM applications using the UTAUT model remains limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating the factors influencing the acceptance of a locally developed IM application in Indonesia, similar to China's WeChat. Employing a survey methodology, the study surveyed 315 respondents to explore the relationships between performance expectancy, effort expectancy, attitude toward using technology (ATUT), social influence, anxiety, facilitating conditions, and behavioral intention to use the proposed IM application. The findings revealed that ATUT, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions significantly impacted behavioral intention. However, relationships between anxiety, performance expectancy, and behavioral intention were not statistically supported. This research provides valuable insights for the development of local IM applications in Indonesia and contributes to the advancement of research in this area.

Abstract :

Computed tomography (CT) has a significant impact on population radiation exposure due to its high radiation dose. Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) are used to optimize clinical practice and minimize unnecessary radiation doses. This study compares the conventional manual data collection method for establishing local diagnostic reference levels (LDRLs) for common adult CT examinations at Zayed Military Hospital with the utilization of a Dose Monitor System. LDRLs serve as benchmarks for optimizing patient radiation doses in CT imaging. The conventional manual data collection involves gathering radiation dose information from CT scanners and patient data from medical records. Retrospective data from Zayed Hospital between March and December 2023, comprising 82 patient records for manual data and 373 records from the software, were collected. The study focused on four common CT exams: Brain, Abdominal Pelvis (AP), Kidney Urinary Bladder (KUB) and Paranasal Sinus (PNS). A prospective analysis was conducted for the Dose Length Product (DLP) and the volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), both manual and Automatic. In contrast, the Dose Monitor System automatically records and collects radiation dose data during CT examinations. Statistical analysis was performed to compare LDRLs obtained through manual data collection and the Dose Monitor System. The results will provide insights into the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of the Dose Monitor System compared to the traditional manual data collection method for establishing LDRLs. These findings will inform decision-making regarding the adoption of more efficient and accurate techniques for monitoring and optimizing patient radiation doses in CT imaging.

The concept of "national security" is used in political-philosophical literature and dictionaries, and many fundamental scientific works devoted to its essence, purpose, and tasks have been published. However, the concept of "national spiritual security" is not found in dictionaries, special works devoted to its essence are just appearing. True, in some sense it has been considered a component of the concept of "national security". Today, ensuring "national-spiritual security" has become so important that it has even become the main factor in ensuring the security of the nation, people, state, and society. Today, we are witnessing the impoverishment of humanity on the ground of all the conflicts, violence, and death of innocent people that have taken place in the world. As long as it is not prevented, the accumulation of the world will continue to deepen. That is why today, it is correct to say that the issue of ensuring "national-spiritual security" has become an urgent task, and it has entered scientific consumption. That is, the introduction of this concept into scientific use and real life is related to the situation in the world and national development.

Abstract :

The prevalence of diabetes, a leading global public health challenge, is profoundly influenced by an interplay of socioeconomic factors (Median_Income), obesity (obesity_crudeprev), and geographic disparities. This research provides a comprehensive quantitative analysis exploring these determinants, focusing particularly on diabetes (diabetes_crudeprev) and disabilities (disability_crudeprev). Utilizing data from the PLACES dataset, our study employed advanced statistical methodologies to dissect the impact of SES_Index and Obesity_Rate on disability outcomes within diabetic populations across varied geographic regions (Zip_Code). The novelty of our approach lies in the application of innovative data analytics techniques that enhance the accuracy and depth of our findings. For instance, machine learning algorithms were employed to identify patterns and predict high-risk zones for diabetes-related disabilities, facilitating targeted interventions. Furthermore, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology was used to visualize and analyze the impact of geographic disparities on health outcomes, providing a clear, actionable insight into how place influences health. Findings from the study indicate that lower socioeconomic status (Median_Income), higher obesity rates (obesity_crudeprev), and higher diabetes rates (diabetes_crudeprev) significantly correlate with an increased incidence of disabilities. This correlation not only underscores the need for comprehensive public health strategies that address economic and lifestyle factors but also highlights the potential of technology in transforming public health responses. This research aligns with the WCMRI-2024 theme of "Transforming Ideas into Impact" by demonstrating how multidisciplinary approaches, particularly the integration of socioeconomic analysis with cutting- edge technology, can lead to sustainable health solutions. It advocates for the incorporation of these technological advancements into policy-making and health strategy development to effectively tackle the complex challenge of diabetes management. By proposing a model that merges socioeconomic data with technological innovations, this study not only contributes to the academic discourse but also serves as a catalyst for policy changes and improved public health strategies aimed at reducing the burden of diabetes-related disabilities globally.

Abstract :

The passage dives deeper into the world of spiral heat exchangers, those compact champions at transferring heat (already explained earlier). Here's a breakdown of the additional details in easy-to-understand terms: Optimizing the Design: Scientists are still figuring out how to make these spiral heat exchangers even better. They use powerful computers to simulate how different shapes and sizes of the coils affect how well they transfer heat. Testing Different Options: They compared two designs: with and without a central core inside, both using copper coils. Looking at the Effects: They examined how these changes influence factors like water temperature, water flow speed, and a value called the "Reynolds number" (a way to measure flow). They even considered using aluminum instead of copper to see if it makes a difference. Big Benefit Confirmed: This research confirms that the spiral design can improve heat transfer efficiency by 11% compared to straight-tube exchangers. This means they can cool things down more effectively! Why It Matters: Heat exchangers are crucial in many industries, like power plants and air conditioning, because they help save energy. So, improvements in their design can lead to more efficient processes overall. Keywords: Heat transfer, CFD analysis, Reynolds number Nusselt number, helical coil heat exchanger.

Abstract :

The silkworm, or Bombyx mori, is an essential component of the global silk production chain. Nevertheless, the susceptibility of silkworms to many diseases results in notable financial losses and obstacles to the process of producing silk. In order to automate the identification and diagnosis of silkworm diseases, this research aims to harness the potential of deep learning. In particular, we use CNN, VGG16, and AlexNet—three cutting-edge deep learning architectures—to create reliable models for the identification of silkworm sickness. As part of the suggested methodology, a comprehensive dataset containing photos of both healthy and diseased silkworms will be gathered. To improve feature extraction and reduce noise, these photos undergo preprocessing. Using the knowledge from pre-trained models on large-scale picture datasets gathered, we then use transfer learning to train and optimise CNN, VGG16, and AlexNet models on this dataset and achieved an accuracy of 91% on VGG16 and 77% on AlexNet respectively.

Abstract :

The traditional saying "seeing is believing" is no longer as reliable in today's world, largely due to the rise of deepfake technology. With advancements in technology, creating convincing deepfakes has become increasingly accessible, even through smartphone apps. Detecting these manipulated media has become a challenge, as they can be indistinguishable from authentic content to the human eye. Deepfakes, which are generated using AI algorithms to superimpose one image onto another, have broad implications across various aspects of society. They can be used to spread misinformation, influence public opinion, and even frame individuals for false accusations. Despite the difficulty in detecting them, researchers are actively developing methods to identify deepfakes, focusing on subtle inconsistencies in facial features and other visual cues. In this project initially, the Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Networks (MTCNN) algorithm is used for efficient and accurate face detection. The detected facial regions are then processed using the Inception-ResNetV1 model, which has been fine-tuned for the specific task of deep fake detection. The model is pre-trained on the VGGFace2 dataset and adapted to perform binary classification, distinguishing between real and fake images. The pre-trained model weights are further refined through additional training, and a specific checkpoint is loaded to ensure optimal performance.

Abstract :

Rooftop farming presents a sustainable and innovative approach to enhance food security in Malaysia by promoting urban agriculture, fostering community resilience, and reducing reliance on imported food. Utilising empty rooftops to implement green roofs for food production can be a solution to the challenges faced by urban agriculture, such as unavailability of land, no proper sunlight or unsuitable soil apart from inaccessibility and unaffordability to food. School roof tops should be utilized. However, effective implementation requires collaborative efforts from government ministries, private sectors, academia, and local communities to provide necessary support, infrastructure, and policies conducive to school rooftop farming initiatives. Through concerted action, school rooftop farming can contribute significantly in building a more resilient and food-secure future in Malaysia because children can be educated and nurtured on urban farming as a sustainable development measure. Furthermore, school food aid programmes can utilize the produce from the roof top farming in preparing the school meals. Other countries around the world are cultivating urban agriculture via roof top with proper regulatory measures in place to regulate urban farming. Adopting a systematic literature review qualitative method, comparative analysis, this article conceptualizes that Malaysia should embark on ‘roof top farming’ as a self-sustainable measure to overcome food insecurity. It discourses the potential challenges such as limited access to resources, technical knowledge, and policy support, and proposes strategies to overcome these barriers benchmarking the best practices of other countries.
