This study investigates the challenges to the digitalization technology adoption in Malaysia agriculture sector by using the DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) approach, which will give a complete knowledge of the interdependencies among the barriers. The research objectives are to determine the cause and effect of digital agriculture using DEMATEL and to recommend the best way to overcome the obstacles in using digital technology. The findings from this study reveals the cause and effect from the barriers which is lack of skills, lack of technology, high cost, infrastructure and connectivity, and resistance to change are in the cause group while limited locality, data privacy and security concerns, low level of education, market access and regulatory and policy are in the effect group. The research findings are utilized to give policymakers and stakeholders with practical recommendations aimed at addressing the identified barriers and promoting the adoption of digital technologies in Malaysian agriculture. Thus, this study offers recommendations for the most important obstacles found, which are an improvement in infrastructure and the implementation of financial assistance mechanisms. All things considered, this research makes a significant contribution to the subject of agriculture and sheds light on the difficulties associated with implementing new technologies in Malaysia's agriculture industry.

This research employs DEMATEL analysis as a methodological approach to thoroughly examine the adverse consequences of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) among students enrolled at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The analysis encompasses three distinct professional cohorts: student representatives, academic staff, and upper management. Through a systematic analysis of causal relationships between multiple factors, this study aims to identify and prioritize the fundamental elements contributing to the negative consequences associated with integrating artificial intelligence. The prominence of privacy and security concerns as a causal factor highlights the importance of implementing strong data protection measures and adhering to ethical practices related to AI. Furthermore, various factors connected with personal disconnection, restricted adaptability, dependance on technology, and insufficient emotional intelligence influence the adverse outcomes of artificial intelligence implementation among students. The results underscore the necessity of implementing focused interventions and strategies to tackle these difficulties and guarantee a harmonious and advantageous integration of artificial intelligence in students' educational journeys. Higher education institutions can effectively harness the advantages of AI while ensuring their students' welfare and educational achievements by recognizing and proactively addressing any potential limitations.

Most complex problems in the real-world typically involve uncertain, incomplete and indeterminate two-dimen sional data i.e. information pertaining to the attributes and the periodicity of the problem parameters. To meet the demand for models that has the ability to handle these information with these characteristics, the introduction of neutrosophic sets (NSs) was followed by their extension to the complex neutrosophic sets (CNSs). In this paper, we introduce the concept of Q- complex neutrosophic set (Q-CNS) by extending the ranges of the membership functions in Q-neutrosophic set (Q-NS) from [0,1] to the unit circle in the complex plane. Q-CNS plays a key role in the decision making theory, where the extra information provided by the elements of the Q-set serve in modeling of some decision making problems. Based on this new concept we define the basic theoretical operations such as complement, equality, subset, union, intersection, Q-complex neutrosophic product and Cartesian product. Some related examples are also given to enhance the understanding of the proposed concepts. The basic properties of these operators are also verified with supporting proofs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The neutrosophic idea is a fertile environment adaptable to different mathematical tools. This paper aims to introduce the mapping of complex interval neutrosophic soft sets (MI-CNSSs). Further, the images and inverse images of complex interval neutrosophic soft sets and their properties are explored. These will be supported by concrete examples, and this paper will present some theorems about complex interval neutrosophic soft images and inverse images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
