The Effect of Self Assessment and Tax Knowledge on Tax Compliance

Tax is the main income of the State. Unfortunately, citizens who fulfill their tax obligations are not balanced with the total population in Indonesia. This is a problem, how to increase tax compliance, to increase the tax ratio, so that income from taxes can be maximized. Many studies examine the factors that affect tax compliance. This research will examine the effect of self-assessment and tax knowledge on tax compliance of taxpayers. The sample of this study was 80 respondents, with the criteria of a private person in the city of Serang, who had a TIN and worked. The results of this study indicate that self assessment and tax knowledge have a positive and significant impact on tax compliance, either partially or simultaneously.
Analysis of protein–ligand interactions from titrations and nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation dispersions

We present PLIS, a publicly available, open‐source software for the determination of protein–ligand dissociation constants that can be used to characterize biological processes or to shed light on biophysical aspects of interactions. PLIS can analyze data from titration experiments monitored by for instance fluorescence spectroscopy or from nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation dispersion experiments. In addition to analysis of experimental data, PLIS includes functionality for generation of synthetic data, useful for understanding how different parameters effect the data in order to better analyze experiments.
Exploitation of Heterosis for Seed Yield and its Contributing Traits in CMS Based Hybrids of Indian Mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss]

In the present study, line× tester analysis was carried out at Castor-Mustard Research Station, S. D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, India during rabi 2018–19 (October 2018 to February 2019) in order to estimate all three types of heterosis (relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and economic heterosis) for identification of superior cross combinations of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern&Coss]. Thirty-five hybrids along with five CMS lines, seven testers and check GDM 4 were evaluated for ten different traits. The F1 generation of all the crosses exhibited fertility restoration with pollen fertility except F1 crosses with Vardan, Rohini and SKM 319 fertile line (0%). The remaining crosses exhibited pollen fertility ranging from 68.26% (Kranti×SKM 303) to 85.17% (Kranti×Mori ‘R’ 1-18). The analysis of variance for parents, hybrids and parents vs. hybrids revealed that mean sum of squares of parents were highly significant for majority of the characters except days to maturity. Whereas, hybrids differed highly significant for all the characters. Comparison of mean squares due to parents vs. hybrids was found significant for almost all the characters except number of seeds siliqua-1 and oil content. This indicates that considerable amount of genetic variability present among the parents and hybrids for all the characters studied. On the basis of per se performance, three hybrids viz., Kranti×Mori ‘R’ 1-18, SKM 9928×PusaAgrani and SKM 9928×Mori ‘R’ 1-18 were foundpromising for seed yield plant-1 over the standard check GDM 4.With respect to heterosis, one of the hybrid Kranti×Mori ‘R’ 1-18 (17.85 %)manifested significant and positive standard heterosis for seed yield plant-1.

It also describes trade‐off analysis approach used to compare different Search Engines for NSIMS. Paper addresses design considerations of the Improved Corporate Search Engine (ICSE) recently developed in Australia. The architecture of the NSIMS has been described, as well as existing search engine capabilities and limitations. Two key areas for search engine improvements have been identified: (1) search context information usage for data relevance criteria application in a search algorithm; (2) user interfaces for entering search requests and query results presentations. Paper presents technical details of ICSE implementation and discussion of characteristics of the proposed improvements in the identified areas. Practical evaluation technique of the search engine efficiency has been proposed and results of trade‐off analysis discussed.
ynamics of a Saturated Semiconductor plifier with 1.47-pm LD Pumping

The dynamic characteristics of a gain saturated semiconductor laser amplifier with 1.47-pm pump light are de- scribed. In addition to improving the saturation output power, the pump light injection shortens the gain response time. Bit-error- rate measurements show that signal degradation, induced for a high-bit-rate signal amplified unider the gain saturated condition, becomes less with the pump light injection.
Examining 24-Hour Activity and Sleep Behaviors and Related Determinants in Latino Adolescents and Young Adults With Obesity

Background. Few studies have examined 24-hour activity and sleep behaviors and their contribution to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Latino adolescents and young adults with obesity. Aim. This study included quantitative data on T2D risk and 24-hour activity and sleep behaviors and qualitative data on individual, social, and environmental behavioral determinants. Method. A 7 day, 24-hour, wrist-worn accelerometer protocol assessed moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviors (SB), sleep, and sleep regularity, in adolescents (N = 38; 12–16 years) and young adults (N = 22; 18–22 years). T2D-related outcomes included adiposity (BMI, BF%, waist circumference), fasting, and 2-hour glucose. A subsample of participants (N = 16 adolescents, N = 15 young adults) completed interviews to identify behavioral determinants. Results. High levels of PA were observed among adolescents (M = 103.8 ± 67.5 minutes/day) and young adults (M = 96.8 ± 78.8 minutes/day) as well as high levels of SB across both age groups (≥10 hours/day). Sleep regularity was negatively associated with adiposity (all ps < .05) in both age groups as well as fasting and 2-hour glucose in young adults (all ps < .05). Social support was associated with PA in both age groups as well as SB in younger youth. Auditory noises, lights, and safety inhibited sleep in both age groups. Conclusion. PA is critical for disease reduction, yet reducing SB and improving sleep are also important targets for reducing T2D risk in Hispanic adolescents and young adults. Future health promotion and disease prevention strategies should leverage qualitative findings regarding behavioral determinants.
Sol-gel synthesis of porous gadolinium titanate photocatalyst for improved activity

Polyethylene glycol was used in a sol–gel route to prepare gadolinium titanate. The crystallite sizes of pyrochlore Gd 2 Ti 2 O 7 prepared at 800°C and 900°C were 34.2 and 40.0 nm, respectively. Pores were produced in the materials after removing the PEG1000 template. The bandgap energies of Gd 2 Ti 2 O 7 decreased from 3.43 to 3.21 eV when the calcination temperature increased from 600°C to 900°C. The crystallized porous Gd 2 Ti 2 O 7 had a low photoluminescence intensity. The samples prepared at low calcination temperatures had both a large pore volume and a high specific surface area, and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area decreased from 46.8 to 14.9 m 2 /g when the calcination temperature increased from 600°C to 900°C. Hydroxyl radical production and azo dye degradation proved the strongest photocatalytic activity of porous Gd 2 Ti 2 O 7 calcined at 800°C. The Reactive Brilliant Red X-3B degradation efficiency was 43.5% after 30 min of reaction.
Acute asthma management with IV magnesium in obese, overweight and non-overweight inner-city children

Abstract Objective IV Magnesium (IV Mg) is increasingly used as adjunctive therapy for asthma exacerbations. In obese patients, delays in recognition of asthma severity may lead to delays in IV Mg administration. Our objective was to examine whether timing of IV Mg administration varied by Body Mass Index (BMI) category and whether this relates to hospitalization course. Methods This is a retrospective chart review of IV Mg use for asthma in children 2–17 years of age hospitalized in an urban children’s hospital. Weight status was categorized by BMI percentile for age. The primary outcome was time to IV Mg administration. Secondary outcomes included admission to the intensive care unit, time to discharge readiness and Length of Stay (LOS). Continuous variables were analyzed using Student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney test, categorical variables with Chi-Square test or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate. A linear regression model examined factors related to time to IV Mg administration. Results In 2017, 361/698 (52%) of patients admitted with acute asthma received IV Mg. Of these, 210 patients met study criteria. Except for age, baseline characteristics did not vary by BMI category. No differences were found in Time to IV Mg, rates of admission to the intensive care unit, time to discharge readiness, or LOS comparing non-overweight to overweight or obese patients. Conclusions In this sample of inner-city children who received IV Mg there were no differences in timing of IV Mg based on BMI category. Further work is needed to examine whether standardizing timing of IV Mg improves care.
Teaching 2.0: When the Student is Ready, Will the Teacher Disappear?

A Buddhist proverb proclaims, When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. This paper explores teaching practice, the current generation of student and the use of technology, as the elements at a teacher’s disposal in the process of enhancing the learning experience. It explores the theoretical foundation underpinning these elements and postulates that their interactions over time can be used to illustrate why they may not have been aligned in the past. However; with the current context of teaching practice, students and technology, a synergistic relationship can be formed which can potentially optimise the learning experience. The underlying assumption though is that teachers would need to implement this practically in their classrooms for the synergy to be experienced: The subtle implication alluded to in the title is that perhaps teachers will become the architects of their own demise if they do not begin to engage their students using some of the precepts discussed. A study of 13 students in a Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) Honours module is used to pilot these ideas. Feedback from an initial 2 week activity is explored, and shows promising results.
Immunomodulatory Strategies for Parapoxvirus: Current Status and Future Approaches for the Development of Vaccines against Orf Virus Infection

Orf virus (ORFV), the prototype species of the parapoxvirus genus, is the causative agent of contagious ecthyma, an extremely devastating skin disease of sheep, goats, and humans that causes enormous economic losses in livestock production. ORFV is known for its ability to repeatedly infect both previously infected and vaccinated sheep due to several immunomodulatory genes encoded by the virus that temporarily suppress host immunity. Therefore, the development of novel, safe and effective vaccines against ORFV infection is an important priority. Although, the commercially licensed live-attenuated vaccines have provided partial protection against ORFV infections, the attenuated viruses have been associated with major safety concerns. In addition to safety issues, the persistent reinfection of vaccinated animals warrants the need to investigate several factors that may affect vaccine efficacy. Perhaps, the reason for the failure of the vaccine is due to the long-term adaptation of the virus in tissue culture. In recent years, the development of vaccines against ORFV infection has achieved great success due to technological advances in recombinant DNA technologies, which have opened a pathway for the development of vaccine candidates that elicit robust immunity. In this review, we present current knowledge on immune responses elicited by ORFV, with particular attention to the effects of the viral immunomodulators on the host immune system. We also discuss the implications of strain variation for the development of rational vaccines. Finally, the review will also aim to demonstrate future strategies for the development of safe and efficient vaccines against ORFV infections.
Perancangan Corporate Identity S1 Desain Komunikasi Visual STIKOM Surabaya sebagai Upaya Meningkatkan Brand Awareness

Visual Communication Design STIKOM Surabaya is a new course that was formed in 2008 on Surabaya STIKOM. To face the competition between universities hence the need for an identity that is unique among other universities. DKV STIKOM Surabaya has only limited identity with a logo. That is means the logo is not enough to make the public aware with the identity of the DKV STIKOM Surabaya The purpose of this design is to know how to Designing S1 Corporate Identity Visual Communication Design STIKOM Surabaya as Effort to Improve Brand Awareness. The design is done with a qualitative approach, interviews, observation, interviews, and existing studies. In this research the questionnaire also used for supporting qualitative data. Data were analyzed using the techniques of data reduction, data display, and conclusion. ( Pawito , 2007: 104 ) The analysis finds that the target audience (SMA) is still less aware of the DKV STIKOM Surabaya. Lack of promotional strategy is one factor against public not aware of DKV STIKOM Surabaya. From the data analysis process, discovered a keyword or concept design "Creativity Future" which means creative future. Based on these keywords can be described that DKV STIKOM Surabaya is an educational center advertising and branding for the future. In this research design a logo redesign in accordance with the keyword and vision DKV STIKOM Surabaya, which then continues to the Graphic Standards Manual, to help the preservation of the unity between the media with other media. The result of this design is expected to increase awareness not only on the target audience but also the public.
Spatial variation in bioclimatic relationships for a snow‐adapted species along a discontinuous southern range boundary

Variation in the relationship between variables across space, known as spatial non‐stationarity, is a common phenomenon in ecology. Species distribution models (SDMs), however, typically assume stationarity in species–environment relationships across space. Spatial non‐stationarity may be particularly apparent in populations along range boundaries where species are actively adapting to changes in climate, and geographically isolated areas where isolation can facilitate adaptation. We used data collected from the southern range boundary of a winter‐adapted mammal to evaluate spatially varying environmental relationships in a region with a geographically isolated population.
Thermal Ground Plane for Chip-Level Electronics Cooling

The three-dimensional thermal ground plane was developed in response to the needs of high-power density electronics applications in which heat must be removed as close to the chip surface as possible. The novel design for this planar cooling device was proposed with three key innovations in the evaporator, wick, and reservoir layer, which provided enhanced and reliable cooling performance without wick dryout and back flows. For the evaporator and reservoir layer, a combination of a tapered channel and a triple-spike microstructure was designed to break up the pinned meniscus at the end of the vapor and liquid channels. The overall microstructure had three spikes where the main liquid meniscus was separated by a middle spike and then continued to flow between the tapered walls of the middle and side spikes. For the wick layer, a nanowire-integrated microporous silicon membrane was developed to overcome dryout by driving the coolant out of the channels and spreading the coolant on top of the wick surface with the assistance of extended capillary action. This innovative design used nanowires to extend and enhance capillary force, especially at the end of the pores where the coolant was pinned and unable to overflow out of the pores. The chronic dryout problem in micro cooling devices could be solved by these innovative designs. To analyze the thermal-fluid system, fluid dynamic and phase-change models were used to calculate thermodynamic and fluidic properties, such as operating temperature, pressure, vapor-liquid interface radius of curvature, and rate of bubble formation. The microscale heat conduction theory derived from traditional Fourier's law with classical size effect and effective medium theory were used to calculate the thermal conductivities of nanowires and porous silicon wick in the cross-plane direction, respectively. The theoretical results of porous silicon showed good agreement with the experimental results measured by the 3u technique, demonstrating the reduction of thermal conductivity from bulk silicon. Cooling performance of the developed device was demonstrated experimentally with a micro ceramic heater, thermocouple modules, and microfabrication techniques, including photoelectrochemical etching to create porous silicon, deep reactive-ion etching to form a thin wick membrane, and hydrothermal synthesis to grow nanowires on top of the wick membrane. This study shows the feasibility of reliable, continuous, and high-performance micro cooling devices using enhanced capillary forces to address the increasing requirements of thermal management for chip-level electronics.
A Review of Adversarial Attack and Defense for Classification Methods

Abstract Despite the efficiency and scalability of machine learning systems, recent studies have demonstrated that many classification methods, especially Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), are vulnerable to adversarial examples; that is, examples that are carefully crafted to fool a well-trained classification model while being indistinguishable from natural data to human. This makes it potentially unsafe to apply DNNs or related methods in security-critical areas. Since this issue was first identified by Biggio et al. and Szegedy et al., much work has been done in this field, including the development of attack methods to generate adversarial examples and the construction of defense techniques to guard against such examples. This article aims to introduce this topic and its latest developments to the statistical community, primarily focusing on the generation and guarding of adversarial examples. Computing codes (in Python and R) used in the numerical experiments are publicly available for readers to explore the surveyed methods. It is the hope of the authors that this article will encourage more statisticians to work on this important and exciting field of generating and defending against adversarial examples.
Fast techniques for time delay estimation

Two multiplication-free correlators (the hybrid sign and polarity coincidence correlators) are analyzed as fast alternatives to the direct multiply-and-accumulate technique in time delay measurements. Their accuracy limits are given for general signal and noise spectra and their dependence on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), observation interval, and signal bandwidth is analyzed for a reference case, PC (polarity coincidence) variance has been verified to decrease uniformly with increasing SNR while HS (hybrid sign) variance does not. PC is verified to be a powerful tool if a certain loss in accuracy can be tolerated or recovered by properly enlarging the observation interval. <<ETX>>
Microbiological evaluation of meat sold in butcheries shop of Cheleleka town in anchar woreda, West Harerge, Oromia, Ethiopia Western Ethiopia

Food borne infections and disease are a main international health problem with consequent economic loss and deaths. Meat is considered the most vital source of proteins consumed by humans, so far, most perishable. For highly consumable foodstuffs such as fresh red meat, the hazard of food poisoning is mainly high since it contains all the nutrients that support bacterial growth. The objective of the study was evaluated bacteriological meat quality sold in shops of Cheleleka town in west harerge zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. Samples of kitfo and gored-gored were collected from five different meat shops. The microbial quality of raw meat sold in five most popular meat shops in the of Cheleleka Town was determined to ascertain its safety. The meat samples were taken from Genet, Wondu, Ayichuluhum, Alemayehu, and Kamil shops. A total of 10 raw meat samples were collected in two successive visits. Raw samples from Ayichuluhum had the highest mean total aerobic bacterial count of 3.3 × 106 cfu/g for kitfo and 2.8 x 106 cfu/g for gored-gored. The lowest counts were obtained from Genet (7.8 × 105 cfu/g and 7 x 105 cfu/g) for Kitifo and Gored-gored were recorded respectively. The highest mean fecal counts (2.0 × 106 cfu/g for kitfo and 1.7 × 106 cfu/g for gored-gored) were obtained also from Ayichuluhum shop. From Genet shop was seen the lowest fecal coliform bacterial counts of 4.3 × 105 cfu/g for Kitifo and 4 × 105 cfu/g for gored-gored. Bacterial species isolated from the samples were mostly Gram-positive rods and Gram-positive spherical bacteria in clumps. Some Gram-negative rods were also seen some of which may be fecal coliforms. The high bacteria count and diversity of bacterial isolates from the samples tested is an indication of its low bacteriological quality, and this can make it a potential source of food infection.
Turbidity‐discharge hysteresis in a meso‐scale catchment: The importance of intermediate scale events

In‐situ sensors for riverine water quality monitoring are a powerful tool to describe temporal variations when efficient and informative analyses are applied to the large quantities of data collected. Concentration‐discharge hysteresis patterns observed during storm events give insights into headwater catchment processes. However, the applicability of this approach to larger catchments is less well known. Here, we evaluate the potential for high‐frequency turbidity‐discharge (Q) hysteresis patterns to give insights into processes operating in a meso‐scale (722 km2) northern mixed land use catchment. As existing event identification methods did not work, we developed a new, objective method based on hydrograph characteristics and identified 76 events for further analysis. Qualitative event analysis identified three recurring patterns. Events with low mean Q (≤ 2 m3/s) often showed short‐term, quasi‐periodic turbidity variation, to a large extent disconnected from Q variation. High max Q events (≥15 m3/s) were often associated with spring flood or snowmelt, and showed a disconnection between turbidity and Q. Intermediate Q events (mean Q: 2–11 m3/s) were the most informative when applying hysteresis indexes, since changes in turbidity and Q were actually connected. Hysteresis indexes could be calculated on a subset of 60 events, which showed heterogeneous responses: 38% had a clockwise response, 12% anticlockwise, 12% figure eight (clockwise–anticlockwise), 10% reverse figure eight (anticlockwise–clockwise) and 28% showed a complex response. Clockwise hysteresis responses were associated with the wetter winter and spring seasons. Generally, changes in Q and turbidity were small during anticlockwise hysteresis events. Precipitation often influenced figure‐eight patterns, while complex patterns often occurred during summer low flows. Analysis of intermediate Q events can improve process understanding of meso‐scale catchments and possibly aid in choosing appropriate management actions for targeting a specific observed pattern.
