Comparative Performance of Mamdani and Sugeno Fuzzy Logic Control Systems in Governing the Motion of a Robotic Arm
Get PDFIn this research, a simulation study of a prototype medical robotics system was conducted to evaluate the performance of Mamdani and Sugeno fuzzy logic control systems in response to varying Step Input values. The Mamdani control system demonstrated faster response times and better adherence to setting time in the absence of disturbances. However, the Sugeno system outperformed Mamdani in scenarios where overshoot percentage was a critical factor. Even in the presence of disturbances, Mamdani maintained faster response times, lower Risetime, and minimal or no overshoot. Nevertheless, Mamdani's setting time responses were sometimes similar to or slower than Sugeno, which may be attributed to Mamdani's higher fuzziness compared to Sugeno's more linear nature. In conclusion, Mamdani exhibited superior speed and adherence to setting time when overshoot percentage was not a critical factor. Furthermore, Mamdani's higher fuzziness, compared to Sugeno's linearity, may explain the observed differences in responses between the two fuzzy logic control systems.  
A Case Report of Major Aphthous Ulcer
No full textRecurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU) is the most common ulcerative condition following traumatic ulcer that affects the oral cavity. It has three clinical presentations, major, minor and herpitiform aphthous ulceration, all are painful and mostly occur on non-keratinized mucosa. If not secondary infected it will heal spontaneously without leaving scar. Our patient was suffering from recurrent ulcers and one single large ulcer that prevent him from swallowing. Following a comprehensive history and clinical examination, interpreting the clinical findings, the ulcers had been diagnosed as aphthous ulceration (major and minor).

Fostering Awareness of Integrating Education for Sustainable Development in Teacher Education Institutions across the Caraga Region, Philippines
No full textThis study investigates the awareness and integration of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within teacher education institutions in the Caraga Region, Philippines. Examining policy, legal foundations, and the ESD framework, findings reveal diverse levels of awareness regarding ESD policies and legalities, indicating the necessity for comprehensive dissemination. ESD framework integration spans social, environmental, and economic dimensions, with practices exhibiting an initial stage of adoption. Student participation in institutional decision-making varies, indicating room for enhancing inclusivity and shared governance. While environmental sustainability efforts encompass energy efficiency, challenges in eco-friendly practices and aesthetic learning environments persist. Economic empowerment through ESD is evident, when students engage in commerce-focused learning initiatives. Faculty development emerges as crucial, shaping effective ESD integration through enhanced pedagogical strategies. In summary, this study underscores the evolving landscape of ESD integration, emphasizing the importance of knowledge dissemination, student engagement, faculty development, and comprehensive sustainability initiatives within teacher education institutions. These insights contribute to holistic educational approaches, fostering environmentally aware, socially responsible, and economically equipped graduates prepared for sustainable future challenges
Immobilization of Lead by Phosphated Biochar Produced from Fish Farming Sludge and Sewage Sludge in a Contaminated Urban Soil
No full textAn evaluation was conducted on the application of phosphate biochar produced from Sewage Sludge (SS) of a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for lead immobilization in contaminated soils of the Human Settlement (HS) Virgin of Guadalupe, in the district of Mi Peru. Biochar was generated by a slow pyrolysis process at 500°C. The biochar was dosed at 10% biochar/soil on lead-contaminated soil, and the factors studied were the type of biochar and time of application. A complete factorial design was performed, and the data were processed using Design Expert v11 software. The results showed that the maximum lead immobilization was 50.83% for BSS for 20 days at a dose of 10% biochar/soil. According to the factorial model, an R² of 0.85, an adjusted R² of 0.83, an F-value of 79.64, and p-values lower than 0.05 (95%) were obtained, indicating that the factor (F2) of application time is significant for the treatment. It was concluded that both types of sludge have the potential for lead immobilization in contaminated soil, and the application time is significant for lead immobilization
The Experimentation Act and its Practice of Autonomous Vehicles in Taiwan
No full textTaiwan has invested considerable sums of human capital and material resources in the practical application of autonomous vehicles for more market opportunity. As on-road testing and technological development for autonomous vehicles continue to develop in different countries, the controversial issues of safety, ethics, liability, and the invasion of privacy continue to emerge. In order to resolve these issues, the government of Taiwan seeks to provide a good environment for AI innovation and applications. This article summarizes and highlights relevant content and key points of Unmanned Vehicles Technology Innovative Experimentation Act, which was legislated in Taiwan in 2018. In addition, with introduction to the progress and achievement after the implementation of the Act, the article also explains the development and prospection of autonomous vehicles in Taiwan.

Music Matters: The Role of Background Music in Improving Students’ Attention and Learning Outcomes
No full textThis paper investigates the impact of background music on students' cognitive performance in the classroom environment, aiming to enhance attention and improve learning outcomes. The study conducted an experiment with 100 design students from MMU, randomly dividing them into treatment and control groups. The treatment group listened to background music genres such as Lo-fi and modern classical remix, while the control group experienced silence. The effects of background music on cognitive performance were analyzed and compared. The comprehensive literature review highlights the potential of background music to positively influence cognitive functioning and learning outcomes in specific contexts. The study employed a mixed-method research design, combining qualitative data from online open-ended question surveys and quantitative data from Likert scale questionnaires. The experiment utilized pre- test and post-test measurements, with participants allocated to controlled and treatment groups using a random sampling technique. Positive findings emerged from the analysis, indicating significant improvements in attention, concentration, focus, motivation, memory, and mood among students exposed to background music. However, the study acknowledges limitations such as the small sample size and specific research context, calling for further studies with larger and more diverse samples to enhance generalizability. These findings emphasize the potential of background music to positively impact cognitive performance and contribute to enhancing students' learning experiences.

The Impact of Influencer Attributes on Behavioral Intention through the Customer Relationship Quality
Get PDFRecently, social networking services have surged in popularity, significantly elevating the influence of influencers engaged in SNS activities. This study investigated the correlation between several variables including influencer attributes, the quality of the relationship between influencer and customer, influencers' intentions to purchase products, and loyalty to them. It was observed that multiple factors considerably impacted these relationships. Nonetheless, establishing a commitment in the relationships between influencers and customers proved to be challenging, often resembling one-to-many connections rather than more intimate one-to-one engagements. Moreover, fostering stability within these relationships was deemed essential. These insights can assist companies in honing their influencer marketing strategies and in developing robust relationship-building approaches
