Test Case Prioritization Using Ant Colony Optimization To Improve Fault Detection And Time, Nurezayana Zainal, Muhammad Sh Salleh, Nur Atiqah Wahidah Sulaiman, Ammar Alazab, Nur Liyana Sulaiman

Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering

Regression testing plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and quality of software following continuous integration and development. However, executing all test cases during regression testing can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Test Case Prioritization (TCP) addresses this challenge by determining an optimal execution order of test cases that maximizes early fault detection while minimizing execution time. Optimization algorithms contribute significantly to enhancing the effectiveness of TCP while utilizing limited resources. This study proposes an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm to address the TCP problem, leveraging its strength in navigating complex search spaces inspired by the foraging behavior of real …

Flood Disaster Preparedness And Response Using A Web-Based Integrated Flood Management System (Ifms), Mohamed Abdiraman Abdirahim, Abd Samad Bin Hasan Basari, Malik Bader Alazzam, Muhammad Shukri Bin Che Lah, Rabiah Binti Ahmad, Aida Binti Mustapha

Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering

Floods are one of the most frequent and damaging natural hazards in Malaysia, especially in low-lying places, such as Batu Pahat and Johor. National flood monitoring systems, such as InfoBanjir and Malaysian Meteorological Department (MET) Malaysia, have disjointed data pools, late updates, and inadequate public access. In this paper, we present an IFMS, which is a contemporary web platform developed to integrate national flood management systems through data collection, automatic processing, dynamic visualization tools, and others. The system architecture consists of three main layers: IoT-enabled flood sensors, centralized web server, and responsive user interfaces. Backend processing is performed using Laravel, …

An Enhanced Glowworm Swarm Optimization For Minimizing Surface Roughness In Die Sinking Electrical Discharge Machining, Nurezayana Zainal, Muhammad Ammar S.M. Shahrom, Mohamad Firdaus Ab. Aziz, Salama A. Mostafa, Anis Farhan Kamaruzzaman, Nor Bakiah Abd. Warif

Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-traditional machining process that utilizes electric sparks between an electrode and a workpiece submerged in a dielectric fluid to ablate a material. It is commonly used in die-making, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and medical manufacturing, because it can machine hard and complex materials with high precision. In this work, a Surface Roughness Optimization for EDM (SRO-EDM) model is proposed to investigate the machining performance of the die-sinking EDM process of titanium alloys. A regression-based combined approach of Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO) and a Two-Factor Interaction (2FI) model has been proposed to investigate the impact of …

Journal of Maine Medical Center

Problem: Overdose deaths and rising rates of infectious disease in the state of Maine warrant a strong public health response, overdose prevention education, and interventions. Initiatives for community drug checking are an innovative approach to understanding the composition of the current drug supply. Drug-checking initiatives can inform people who use drugs (PWUD) what adulterants might be present in their drug supply. In partnership with 3 community organizations in Maine, Project DHARMA supports PWUD and community partners with infectious disease screening, community drug checking, and infection and overdose prevention.

Approach: Project DHARMA supports the delivery of evidence-based infection and overdose prevention …

The Muslim Woman In Diaspora And The Reconstruction Of Identity In Leila Aboulela’S Minaret, Mashhoor Abdu Al-Moghales

UB Journal for Humanities

Identity reconstruction frequently represents a major challenge for immigrants who settle in a new land. Leila Aboulela (b. 1964) presents the complexities faced by the diaspora of Muslim women in constructing a new identity that aligns with their new reality, without forgetting or affecting their original roots. In Minaret (2005), Aboulela highlights the strength and independence of the Muslim woman through her female character, Najwa, presenting Muslim women as successful and resilient, in defiance of prevailing stereotypes. Drawing on Lila Abu-Lughod’s anthropological critique in Do Muslim Women Need Saving? alongside Homi Bhabha’s theories of hybridity and the Third Space, the …
