In the face of growing urban problems such as overcrowding and pollution, we urgently need innovative ideas to build smarter and greener cities. Current urban development strategies often fail to address these challenges, revealing a significant research gap in integrating advanced technologies. This study addresses these gaps by integrating green technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), studying its impact on achieving smart and sustainable habitats and identifying barriers to effective use of these technologies, considering local variations in infrastructural, cultural, and economic contexts. By analyzing how AI and green technologies can be combined, this study aims to provide a vision that can be used to improve urban development planning. The results emphasize the significance of environmental responsibility and technological innovation in the development of sustainable urban environments and provide practical recommendations for improving the overall quality of life in cities through planning and urban planning.

Professional judgments in business valuation should be based on persuasive comparative data and conclusive empirical studies. However, these judgments are frequently made without these conditions, causing professional skepticism. An appraiser should explain in detail what was done to get the market value because valuation is the initial crucial step in the investment decision process. In socially responsible investment schemes, an appraiser has a fiduciary duty and a vital role in protecting the public from fraud and the risk of asset value destruction. Professional skepticism is essential to direct the appraiser’s judgment towards independent valuation for the public interest, assisting in evaluating the relevance and reliability of information, especially relating to social, environmental, and ethical issues. This paper studies the business valuation process from a behavioral finance perspective in the United States and Indonesia, aiming to tweak business valuation practices, identify biases, and mitigate them to ensure the market value does not shift far from fairness opinion. The case study explores experiences from the professional role-learning process. The results highlight the need for an appraisal protocol in business valuation, improvements in the discount for lack of marketability application, and these findings are pertinent to business appraisers and regulators. Recommendations include enhancing the clarity of professional judgments and the integration of recent empirical studies into practice.

By carrying out a laboratory experiment, the influence of priming methods, including ZnSO4, BSN, and hydropriming was evaluated on the seed germination of hybrid AS71 corn. Then, the main and interaction effects of the priming methods, planting dates, and weed interference levels were surveyed on the vegetative growth traits, yield, and yield components of corn in a field experiment. Based on the lab experiment, although the maximum germination percentage (100%) was observed in the treated plots by hydropriming 22 h after treatment (HAT), the greatest seedling vigor index (122.99) was recorded with treated seeds by ZnSO4 (0.03 mg L–1) at 8 HAT. The greatest emergence index was observed in the treated plots by hydropriming on both planting dates of June 1 and 11. The interaction of planting dates and weed interference levels revealed that the highest emergence index (14%–17%) occurred in the weed-free plots on both planting dates. BSN recorded the greatest corn 1000-grain weight that was significantly higher than the control plots by 28%. Furthermore, BSN enhanced the corn grain yield compared with the control plots by 63% and 24.9% on the planting dates of June 1 and 11, respectively. BSN, as a nutri-priming approach, by displaying the highest positive effects in boosting the corn grain yield in both weedy and weed-free plots as well as both planting dates, could be a recommendable option for growers to improve the crop yield production.

Mathematics education is a comprehensive scientific system that holds significant importance in studying the seamless integration between university mathematics education and secondary mathematics education. This research paper delves into the challenges encountered during the transition from high school to university mathematics and offers analytical strategies and recommendations for both teachers and students. The objective is to enhance the continuity and coherence of mathematics education. Furthermore, tailored recommendations are provided to bridge the gap between high school and university mathematics education, taking into consideration the unique characteristics of students from different provinces and cities.

Among the dental composites, Urethane Dimethacrylate (UDMA) is commonly used as a component in treating oral complications. Many molecular dynamics approaches are used to understand the behaviour of the material at room temperature as well as at higher temperatures to get a better insight after comparison with experimental values at the atomic level. There are three critical physical properties associated with these components, like abrasive wear, viscosity, and moduli, which play an essential role in determining the treatment and can be computed using the Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS), the general-purpose quantum chemistry program package (ORCA), and the General Utility Lattice Program (GULP) molecular dynamics methods. A radial distribution function plot is generated using visual molecular dynamics (VMD) for UDMA and BisGMA. A comparison of these parameters with BisGMA, another component of dental composites, along with experimental results, is carried out in the present investigation. Further, since radiation also matters for settling the materials in dental treatment, we have computed absorption spectra from 200 nm to 800 nm using LAMMPS/ORCA.
