pH measurement for watering plants system using internet of things (IoT)
No full textThe development of Internet of Things or IoT technology is currently widely used to connect objects such as smartphones or actuators to the internet so that we can control it and enable forms of communication both between objects and with humans. In this study, water quality control was carried out where water that has good quality is if the water is not excessively polluted by harmful chemicals or minerals. One indicator that water is polluted is the pH (acidity) of water. Where the neutral pH of water has a pH value that ranges from 6.5 to 7.5. Neutral pH control for watering this plant uses a pH sensor as a water acid detector which will provide an input signal to the microcontroller. The system optimizes water usage by ensuring irrigation only occurs when both pH and soil moisture levels are within acceptable ranges. Therefore, in this study a monitoring device was developed using Blynk where the Arduino Uno microcontroller device will be integrated with the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module which is connected to the Blynk application that is installed on the smartphone device. Combines advanced IoT technologies with agricultural practices, revolutionizing traditional methods of water pH monitoring and irrigation for the future
Screen printed gold electrode for bacteria panicle blight detection from in silico designed aptamers
No full textBacteria Panicle Blight (BPB) is a newly emerging disease of paddy caused by Burkholderia glumae. Its devastating effect to paddy is owed to the pathogenicity of toxoflavin that is produced by the bacterium through the assistance of sequential protein expression event. Usually, the detection is made by manual observation or sending them to the laboratory for testing. These methods are quite laborious and time consuming for immediate action. Usually, real time sensors require antibody for the disease detection which may be costly and produce inconsistent results. In this study, aptamers are used as capturing agents in place of traditional antibody methods. Also, the selected aptamers were innovatively designed in silico, unlike the conventional SELEX method that is costly, laborious and time consuming. After screening 33 aptamers through molecular docking, 4 were objected to molecular dynamics simulation and MM-PBSA to predict binding properties. Through computational results, the aptamer candidates exhibited lowest docking energy and best interaction when simulated at 200nanoseconds and when tested experimentally, they give high affinity towards target protein. This innovation may cut short the time needed to develop drugs and sensing agents while having high commercialization potential as the only material it needs is a high-end computer

Non-risk-sharing financing in Indonesian Islamic banks: the role of market power
No full textMost Islamic banks provide more non-risk-sharing financing, which is nothing but debt financing like the loan of conventional banks. They favor this financing due to low-risk financing. Our study investigated the determining factor of non-risk-sharing financing in Indonesian Islamic banks using panel regression with unbalanced data, consisting of 31 banks and employing data from 2015:Q1-2020:Q4. The findings indicated that market power strengthens non-risk-sharing financing. This finding indicated that the more uncompetitive the market is, the more Islamic banks tend to favor non-risk-sharing financing. However, bank stability reduces nonrisk-sharing financing, indicating that more stable banks prefer risk-sharing financing. This reason is reinforced by the reverse relationship between nonrisk-sharing financing and bank size. Furthermore, this study documented that the impact of market power on non-risk-sharing financing diminishes as high stability holds. Evidence also highlighted that the effect of market power and stability on non-risk-sharing financing was more prominent for Islamic bank windows than full-fledged Islamic banks
Green banking initiative in India: women’s ability to compete with men
No full textThis study had four objectives. Firstly, it aimed to provide information on the proportion of males and females engaged in business or jobs. Secondly, it sought to examine the risk-taking capacity of both genders. Thirdly, the study aimed to identify the factors that promoted gender inequality in business. Lastly, it suggested theoretical aspects that can help reduce the gender gap in business. Additionally, the study shed light on the usage of green banking in business and the level of awareness of this term among women-owned businesses. The study employed a multi-method approach, utilizing both systematic literature review and in-depth interviews. The findings indicated that, despite having more business potential than men, women still face gender gaps in entrepreneurship. Although the government has implemented measures to reduce gender inequality and societal attitudes have shifted in some areas, women still exhibited greater risk aversion compared to men. As a result, they often prefered established businesses with predictable outcomes to avoid potential losses. Several solutions have been proposed to address this inequity in contemporary society. One potential solution is the implementation of green banking programs, which could provide female entrepreneurs with access to funding and resources. This study examined the disparities between men and women in the business landscape, particularly in high-risk sectors, in emerging economies such as India. This paper advocates for greater efforts to promote gender equality in green banking, which could help bridge the gender gap in high-risk businesses and foster sustainable economic growth
Business resilience during crises: a comparative study between PN17 and 50 FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI constituent companies
No full textThis was an event study that employed a non-parametric analysis using STATA. Data from 50 companies listed under Bursa Malaysia (BM), which consist of 21 companies classified under PN17 and 36 companies from the constituents top 50 FTSE at BM, were collected for five years (2018-2022). Using the Altman Z-Score, PN17 and T50FTSE companies were clustered under safe, grey, and distress zones. Besides, the study also aimed to examine the roles of a robust risk management system in managing a crisis among PN17 and the top 50 FTSE companies. The survey results revealed the significance of having an integrated and unified risk management for every company to ensure business continuity and resist crises. The study exposed the likelihood of managers manipulating the earnings figure during the pandemic and the significant positive relationship between the Operational Resiliency Framework (ORF) and Altman’s Z-Score. A less robust risk management system makes a corporation more likely to fall into the distress zone category
Aligning goals: supervisor-supervisee’s expectations in undergraduate final year project
No full textCommunication is one of the essential mediums of interaction towards fulfilling various final-year undergraduate research projects (FYPs) offer valuable opportunities for students to apply conceptual and theoretical knowledge to enhance their scientific reasoning skills. However, as novice researchers, they rely substantially on their supervisors’ guidance. Expectations may differ throughout the collaboration process, which can cause frustration and impede progress. Despite the complexity of the undergraduate supervisory relationship, existing research has primarily focused on postgraduate level and qualitative analyses. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the expectations held by both supervisors and undergraduates involved in FYPs. Key areas examined include methodological decisions, references and materials, policies and procedures, study plans and completion of tasks, checking of drafts, and language accuracy and academic tone. Matching sets of questionnaires were administered to undergraduates and supervisors to determine and compare their expectations of each other. Overall, the results reveal that both parties' expectations varied across the areas investigated. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics in undergraduate supervisory relationships, shedding light on areas where improvements may be needed to enhance the overall quality of FYPs and supervision
