Abstract: Scaling Agile in industrial software projects is a process control problem that must balance governance, scalability, and adaptability while keeping decisions auditable. We present a hybrid fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework that combines Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) for uncertainty-aware weighting with a tunable VIKOR– PROMETHEE ranking stage. Weighting and ranking are kept distinct to support traceability and parameter sensitivity. A three-layer hierarchy organizes twenty-two criteria across organizational, project, group, and framework levels. In a single-enterprise validation with two independent expert panels (n = 10 practitioners), the tuned hybrid achieved lower rank error than single-method baselines (mean absolute error, MAE = 1.03; Spearman ρ = 0.53) using pre-specified thresholds and a transparent α + β = 1 control. The procedure is practical for process governance: elicit priorities, derive fuzzy weights, apply the hybrid ranking, and verify stability with sensitivity analysis. The framework operationalizes modeling, optimization, control, and monitoring of scaling decisions, making trade-offs explicit and reproducible in industrial settings.

Abstract: The medical professional discipline grants the Minister too broad authority to add types of disciplinary violations without clear boundaries. This study aims to analyze the regulation of the Minister of Health's role in the provisions regarding the medical professional discipline in Indonesia, which is currently not based on dignified justice. This study uses a socio-legal research approach. The results show that the regulation of the Minister of Health's role in the medical professional discipline is considered not based on dignified justice because it grants the Minister too broad authority to determine additional types of violations without adequate oversight mechanisms, thus creating legal uncertainty. Substantial, structural, and cultural weaknesses include the potential for unilateral expansion of norms, low competence of officials in the field of health law, and a culture that weakens social control. Therefore, reconstruction is needed by transferring the authority to determine types of violations from the Minister to an independent professional institution, following the Singaporean SMC model adapted to Indonesia's constitutional character, in order to build a more accountable, fair, and dignified disciplinary system.

Abstract: The study aimed to identify the impact of the proposed therapeutic massage and stretching exercises program on the flexibility of the ankle joint among patients with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). A total of eight females with SCP, aged 10-14 years, underwent the program of exercises through 8 weeks, with 3 sessions per week. The proposed program included therapeutic massage applied to the back, pelvis, legs, and feet in each treatment session for 45 minutes, followed by stretching exercises for the back, pelvis, legs, and feet immediately after the therapeutic massage for a period of 15 minutes. A goniometer was used to measure the flexibility of the ankle joint. The results showed statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-measurements of the sample, in favor of the postmeasurements for the study outcome (p<0.05). The use of therapeutic massage and stretching exercises for patients with spastic cerebral palsy within a standardized program helps to increase the flexibility of the muscles of the lower extremities and the flexibility of the ankle joint, which improves the functional efficiency of the patient.

Abstract: Skin Repair Plus Ointment (Remanco) is an advanced formulation of the traditional Jordanian cream, which has been used for treating burn injuries and has served as an alternative remedy in northern Jordan for several decades. In this study, we sought to investigate the therapeutic effects of Remanco on the healing morphology and molecular alterations associated with burn wounds. This randomized controlled experiment involved 90 Wistar rats (160−170 grams) that were randomly assigned to three groups of 30 rats each. The groups were designated as follows: negative control (burn treated with normal saline), positive control (burn treated with 1% silver sulfadiazine), and tested (burn treated with Remanco cream). Burn injuries were inflicted on the shaved dorsum of the rats using a preheated 30-mm-wide circular copper head device. The burns were treated daily with normal saline, 1% silver sulfadiazine, or Remanco cream for 30 days or until the animals were sacrificed. Gross evaluation, histopathological assessment, and RT-PCR Analysis were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Remanco cream in promoting wound healing. Although there was no statistically significant difference in wound area measurements or histopathological ratings, the cosmetic appearance of the wound area exhibited a significant improvement in the Remanco cream-treated group. Molecular investigations revealed that the Remanco-treated group demonstrated a significant increase in the levels of two essential growth factors: TGF-beta on day 3 and IGF-1 on day 9, with a p-value less than 0.05. In summary, Remanco cream holds potential for enhancing wound healing in animal models, but further studies are necessary to investigate its potential clinical applications.

Abstract: Background The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has prioritized healthcare advancement, yet Emirati male enrollment in nursing remains low. Understanding the perceptions and influencing factors related to this issue is crucial for addressing workforce gender imbalances. Aim to explore perceptions of nursing as a profession among Emirati male students, and identify sociocultural, institutional, and economic factors contributing to low male enrollment in nursing programs in the UAE Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study across self-reported survey various community settings in the UAE. A convenience sample of 863 Emirati adults was recruited between February and April 2025. Data were collected using a survey containing a demographic questionnaire and three validated instruments: the Factors Encouraging Enrollment in Nursing Scale, the Nursing Image Scale (NIS), and the Perception of Nursing as a Profession questionnaire. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics 29 using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, chi-square tests, Pearson correlations, and generalized linear models (α = 0.05). Results The most frequently reported motivators for nursing interest were altruism (72.5 %), family encouragement (72.5 %), job stability (70.6 %), and financial incentives (70.2 %). Prior healthcare exposure and interaction with nurses were also associated with positive views. Positive perceptions—defined as scores ranging from 11 to 20, reflecting favorable views of nursing—were more common among participants with prior health education, married individuals, and those enrolled in technical or vocational programs. Overall, 73.5 % of respondents exhibited a positive perception of the nursing profession based on categorical scoring. Regression analysis identified nursing image (β = 0.45, p < .001) and prior health education (β = 0.31, p < .001) as the strongest predictors of positive perceptions. Conclusions Emirati males generally hold positive views toward nursing, shaped by both intrinsic motivations and pragmatic factors. Addressing male under-enrollment requires targeted strategies such as improving the public image of nursing, increasing early clinical exposure, and promoting nursing's societal value. Given the self-reported nature of the survey, findings may not be generalizable to all Emirati males.

Abstract: Accurate modelling of complex, nonlinear and nonstationary datasets remains a critical challenge in predictive analytics. This study introduces a novel variational mode decomposition-elastic net regression (VMD-Enet) framework that combines VMD with ENet to enhance prediction accuracy and interpretability. VMD first decomposes signals into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), effectively denoising data and improving feature representation. ENet is then applied to select the most significant predictors while managing multicollinearity. The proposed approaches are evaluated using numerical simulations and real stock market data. The proposed VMD-ENet model demonstrated superior performance over the other methods. In the case of the stock market experimental analysis, VMD-ENet achieved the lowest errors, with RSS = 88.90, RMSE = 0.837, MAE = 0.668, and WQE = 0.0006. Compared to other regularization approaches, VMD-ENet significantly identifies key predictors without arbitrarily discarding correlated variables, ensuring model stability. These findings highlight the framework's robustness, interpretability and predictive superiority, making it a promising tool for financial market analysis and broader applications in complex data modelling.

Abstract: Abstract Background/Aims Workplace violence against healthcare staff is global problem, with serious implications for the safety and wellbeing of healthcare professionals. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of workplace violence in hospital settings and the circumstances surrounding it, as well as staff members’ responses, coping mechanisms and available support in Jordan. Methods This descriptive exploratory study used a retrospective cross-sectional design, collecting data from 651 healthcare workers with an online survey. Multiple-choice items were used to collect information on respondents’ experience of workplace violence, including the nature of the incident, the impact and support received. 5-point Likert scales were used to measure respondents’ emotional response to incidents and their level of satisfaction with how it was handled by managers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data, with SPSS version 25. Results Nearly half (n=316, 48.5%) of the 651 participants had experienced workplace violence in the previous 1 year, with verbal violence being the most common type. Perpetrators of violent incidents were most commonly patients’ friends or relatives (32.3%) and patients themselves (31.4%). The most common reasons for not reporting the incident was the perception that doing so was unimportant or useless. Many felt dissatisfied with their organisation’s handling of the incident (46.8%), with only 7.0?eling very satisfied. Conclusions Violence against healthcare staff is unacceptably common, reflecting the impact of this global problem on hospitals in Jordan. This study also found negative perceptions of reporting incidents. This reflects the need for more effective violence prevention measures to ensure that healthcare staff are safe in the workplace and feel able to report incidents when they do occur. Implications for practice The high prevalence of workplace violence found in this study underline the need for zero-tolerance policies to ensure a safe workplace. This could include establishing effective and accessible reporting systems and implementing regular training on how to manage workplace conflicts and violence.

Faculty: Engineering and Technology

Abstract: In this study, a new integrated circuit design called H-bridge multilevel inverter matrix converter (HMIMC), which combines a multilevel inverter (MI), a matrix converter (MC), and an H-bridge circuit, is developed. It aims to generate a high number of output voltage levels that reduce the component count (CC). The MI step is used to control the positive voltage source, where the output of MI is connected to the input of MC. The MC is used to share the positive input voltage due to output phases, depending on the requirements. Afterward, the H-bridge circuit is used in each phase to select the positive or negative output voltage. The main contribution of this design is that the MI does not need to be repeated thrice to produce a three-phase output voltage. A seven-level (7L) andthirteen-level (13L) of proposed circuit is presented, followed by a new algorithm operation that is used for suitable switching control. Afterward, MATLAB simulation is used to check the operation process, output signals of voltage and current, and totalharmonic distortion (THD) results. Then hardware circuit of the proposed system is implemented to verify the design. Lastly, a brief comparison in terms of CC is conducted.
