Progressive State Space Disaggregation for Infinite Horizon Dynamic Programming
Authors: Forghieri Orso , Castel Hind , Hyon Emmanuel , Pennec Erwan Le
Published: May 2024

High dimensionality of model-based Reinforcement Learning and Markov Decision Processes can be reduced using abstractions of the state and action spaces. Although hierarchical learning and state abstraction methods have been explored over the past decades, explicit methods to build useful abstractions of models are rarely provided. In this work, we provide a new state abstraction method for solving infinite horizon problems in the discounted and total settings. Our approach is to progressively disaggregate abstract regions by iteratively slicing aggregations of states relatively to a value function. The distinguishing feature of our method, in contrast to previous approximations of the Bellman operator, is the disaggregation of regions during value function iterations (or policy evaluation steps). The objective is to find a more efficient aggregation that reduces the error on each piece of the partition. We provide a proof of convergence for this algorithm without making any assumptions about the structure of the problem. We also show that this process decreases the computational complexity of the Bellman operator iteration and provides useful abstractions. We then plug this state space disaggregation process in classical Dynamic Programming algorithm namely Approximate Value Iteration, Q-Value Iteration and Policy Iteration. Finally, we conduct a numerical comparison on randomly generated MDPs as well as classical MDPs. Those experiments show that our policy-based algorithm is faster than both traditional dynamic programming approach and recent aggregative methods that use a fixed number of adaptive partitions.

Authors: Sivas Hanife Merve
Published: May 2024

Ichthyosis is a heterogeneous group of conification disorders characterized by hyperkeratosis involving the skin. One form of ichthyosis, lamellar ichthyosis (LI), is autosomal recessively inherited with an incidence of 1/300,000. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings, skin biopsy and genetic analysis. Treatment includes moisturizing the skin, reducing fluid loss and keratolytics. Oral retinoids have been found to be very successful in the treatment of LI(1). In this case, a premature newborn diagnosed with LI is presented because of its rarity and good response to oral retinoid treatment.
Le non-dit linguistique dans les dynamiques territoriales
Authors: TREMBLAY Christian
Published: May 2024

Cette recherche, partant de l’importance avérée de l’éducation dans les processus de développement, s’interroge sur la place réelle de la langue dans la société et dans l’éducation elle-même. Traditionnellement, il semble aller de soi que l’apprentissage de la langue est à la base de tous les autres enseignements. Or, cette position privilégiée n’est pas aussi assurée que l’on se l’imagine. Cette situation que l’on peut dire aléatoire tient à différents facteurs au premier rang desquels le fait que le langage jusqu’à l’époque moderne n’a pas fait l’objet d’une conception très élaborée, sauf de la part de quelques auteurs peu nombreux dans le paysage philosophique. Et très paradoxalement, l’émergence de la linguistique comme science à part entière au XIXe siècle a plutôt affaibli que renforcé la place de la langue. Entre une conception utilitariste qui ne voit dans la langue qu’un outil de communication et la langue comme fait de culture, il existe une tension généralisée dans laquelle la langue-culture n’est pas en situation de force. La relative négligence dans laquelle est tenue la langue dans l’éducation et dans d’autres instances économiques et politiques s’avère totalement contre-productive pour le développement.

Simultaneous detection of miRNA and mRNA at the single-cell level in plant tissues (v2) v2
Authors: Wu Chi-Chih
Published: May 2024

Detecting the simultaneous presence of a microRNA (miRNA) and a mRNA in a specific tissue can provide support for the prediction that the miRNA regulates the mRNA. Ｗe develop a method that uses sequence-specific miRNA-locked nucleic acid (LNA) and mRNA-LNA probes. Moreover, it augments the detection signal by rolling circle amplification, achieving a high signal-noise ratio at the single-cell level. Dot signals are counted for determining the expression levels of mRNA and miRNA molecules in specific cells. We show a high sequence specificity of our miRNA-LNA probe, revealing that it can discriminate single-base mismatches. Numerical quantification by our method is tested in transgenic rice lines with different gene expression levels.

Authors: Serova A. V.
Published: May 2024

In the context of the digital economy development, the spread of the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, the special military operation and external sanctions, the problems of decent work and effective employment among the younger generation do not cease to be relevant. In this regard, the question arises of the need to legislate such provisions that would simultaneously encourage both young people and employers to enter into labor relations with each other. The author suggests discussing how appropriate it is to deepen the differentiation of labor and employment legislation in relation to such categories as «youth» and «young professionals». It is concluded that the context of these categories involves the implementation of a set of measures aimed at promoting youth employment in relation to each stage of professional development. Therefore, in relation to the youth, the leading role should be given to the legislation on employment of the population. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation should maintain a differentiated approach for the underage workers, and in terms of provisions that can be applied in connection with the fact of obtaining qualifications, it is necessary to develop a set of guarantees that do not have an age limit.

Procedural Order: The Concept
Authors: Zashlyapin L. A.
Published: May 2024

The paper documents the traditional approach to the consideration of procedural orders based on differentiation (fragmentation) of the criminal procedure. The paper differs in that the author considers procedural order as a generic concept. To do this, the author analyzes the normative and theoretical basis (relative to the specified object area) of the study, identifies essential features. In order to define the concept through genus and specific differences, the concept of «legal order» is used as a generic concept, and such characteristics as functional structure are used as specific differences, constant dynamic connection between the elements of the structure. As a specific object area, the procedure for formulating a juror questionnaire and the procedure for presenting a person for identification in a judicial investigation are used. The author concludes that the procedural order is a legal order formed by the elements of the functional structure of the procedural activity of the participants involved in it with stable dynamic connections between these elements that persist throughout the criminal procedural activity.

Published: May 2024

Vietnam's trade balance was positive with the United States, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and Austria. However, it was negative in several countries, including South Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, and Argentina. This paper aims to investigate the asymmetric effects of several macroeconomic factors on Vietnam's trade balance in the post-global financial crisis era. This paper aims to capture better the nuanced effects of free trade agreements on Vietnam's trade balance. Using regression methods like Pooled OLS, Random Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Hausman Taylor, it analyzes factors affecting bilateral trade with Comprehensive Economic Partnership for East Asia nations. These factors include gross domestic product (GDP), population, distance, exchange rates, national borders, and Free Trade Agreements. Findings suggest that GDP, population, and exchange rates significantly influence Vietnam's trade relationships, but free trade agreements have not yielded the expected results. This study's novelty lies in its exploration of comprehensive regression analysis, offering valuable insights into Vietnam's trade dynamics.

Several factors influence the movements and dynamics of bond yields in financial markets. The determination of monetary policy, specifically the decisions regarding interest rates made by central banks, is a critical factor. Moreover, bond yields can be influenced by various factors such as geopolitical events, financial volatility, market sentiment, and investor risk appetite. These factors can impact the demand and supply dynamics in bond markets. This research aims to analyze the influence of Interest Rates, IDR to USD Exchange Rates, Volatility Index (VIX), Gold and Oil Prices on Bond Yields in Indonesia. The data used in this research is secondary data, which consists of time series data from 2019-2023. This research investigates the impact of financial and commodity prices on bond yields in Indonesia by using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to examine both the long-run correlation and short-run effect. Empirical results found that Interest Rate, Volatility Index (VIX), and Oil Prices have a significant positive influence. Meanwhile, the Gold Price variable has a significant negative influence. This research has several crucial policy implications for investors concerning the national monetary policy, exchange rate fluctuation, and global volatility index to create profitable and sustainable portfolio strategies. Moreover, investment managers and investors should be concerned about the global commodities prices that will affect bond yield performances. This research contributes to the recent literature presenting causal relations of global volatility index (VIX) on Indonesian bond yield.

Authors: Waskar Rohit Arun , Bhakare Rishikesh
Published: May 2024

Background: In this busy life, people hardly find time for themselves, giving rise to a sedentary lifestyle, one of the leading causes of lifestyle disorders in which Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is also included. GERD is a very common disease found in society. It not only affects the mental but also the social life of a person. GERD causes retrosternal burning, sour eructation and anterior precordial chest pain (non-radiating) associated with constipation and anorexia. In Ayurveda, it is correlated with Amlapitta, which is one among the forty Pitta Nanatamja Vikara. In Modern science, there is no sure treatment that cures the patient completely but antacids and symptomatic treatment can give temporary relief. In such cases, Ayurvedic management proved to be the best as it cures the disease from the base. Aim: To discover the efficacy of Ayurvedic management in GERD and improve the patient’s quality of life. Methods: It is a single case study of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with retrosternal burning, sour eructation, anterior precordial chest pain (non-radiating) associated with constipation and anorexia for 5 months. After thoroughly examining the patient, Shamana Chikitsa was started (Laghu Sutashekhar Rasa, Avipattikarachurna, Kanchan Pittashamak Yoga, Abhayarishta). This treatment was given for one month. Results: The successful outcome of Shamana Chikitsa was found to be very effective with symptomatic assessment carried out after one week, fifteen days, and one month, respectively and the overall quality of life of the patient was significantly improved.

In these studies, endophyte bacteria were isolated from a medicinal plant root of Adhathoda beddomei (adosa). The antimicrobial activity was demonstrated against different pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria. Identification of endophytes was done based on external morphological characteristics with the help of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). another challenging problem in this regard is that the efficiency of the endophytic bacteria to produce bioactive compounds is not as high as expected because, in many previous works in literature, it has been reported that yields are generally meagre. Through this study, we have tried to enhance the production of bioactive metabolites using media optimization and Resonance Surface Methodology (RSM). These are generally from µg/l to less than mg/l and are therefore not yet appropriate for fermentative production on an industrial level.

Authors: Aqmarina Syafira Nurin , Nurcahyo Rahmat , Sumaedi Sik
Published: May 2024

The adoption rate of electric motorcycles in Indonesia, including large cities like Jakarta, remains relatively low. This study aims to evaluate both barriers and drivers of electric motorcycle (EM) adoption from the perspectives of users and non-users. The research utilized Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) to identify areas for improvement, and determine the most important factors to prioritize strategy development. This research has found that the 'driver attributes' for EM adoption have a positive perceived performance according to the IPA mapping. However, the attributes that act as barriers to EM adoption have low performance and need to be prioritized for improvement. A comparison study was conducted between EM users and non-users, revealing several differences in importance and performance assessments. Furthermore, a technical preference analysis was conducted among the community to provide deeper insights from the public's perspective regarding EM. The research implies that a comprehensive strategy is needed to foster the adoption of electric vehicles in urban areas like Jakarta. This strategy aims to overcome high prices, range anxiety, and lack of infrastructure to increase adoption rates and support a sustainable urban transport system.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the digital transformation of land and building tax stimulus granting policy in Palembang City through the digitization framework formulated by Janowski in 2015, which includes digital technologies, pressure on government, and digital institutionalization. The data collection techniques used in this study include interviews, observation, and documentation. Moreover, the data analysis techniques used interactive models, namely, condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that: (1) based on the dimension of the digital technologies, the socialization of PBB stimulus granting policy in Palembang City has minimal public access to information on websites and social media, so the level of public compliance in paying taxes is still low; (2) based on dimension of the pressure on government, the stimulus granting policy on land and building tax is no longer given to PBB as of 1 July 2019, as well as the minimum facilities associated to significant stimulus granting demands are provided; and (3) based on the dimension of the digital institutionalization, the lack of competence of tax officers (UPT) increases, whether in applying technology or providing explanations about tax calculations and NJOP. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the socialization of PBB stimulus granting policy by establishing teams to update data in various sub-districts to conduct field verification and validation, optimizing a 2% PBB fine every month after a maximum maturity of 24 months, actively collecting receivables by UPT officers after a maximum maturity of three times, and obtaining government cooperation in issuing an SKK (Surat Kuasa Khusus) for PBB collection of a nominal value of Rp.100 million, so that the land and building tax stimulus granting policy in the City of Palembang can be implemented adequately.

Gender Gaps in the Fisheries Groups in Southern Sumatra Indonesia
Authors: Nurwanti ‎
Published: May 2024

The southern part of Sumatra Island consists of the provinces of South Sumatra, Lampung, Jambi, Bengkulu, and Bangka Belitung. Generally, the growth of fisheries’ main actor groups is based on physical matters or oriented toward homogeneity or physical similarities owned by each member, such as age, gender, ethnicity, color, religion, business, and other physical characteristics. From a gender perspective, these groups have a gap between men and women. Among them are women’s representation in aquaculture and fishing groups. In addition, the male model in the processing/marketing group is also low. This role of women is caused by social and cultural constructions, role discrimination, stereotypes, marginalization of women in society, and women’s dual roles in public and domestic aspects of daily life. The socio-cultural building in question is that women are unlikely to go out in the sea to catch fish. In certain ethnicities, women’s access to productive assets and sources of capital is limited, and women’s ability to improve knowledge and technology still needs to be improved. This paper aims to introduce the gender gaps in fisheries groups located in five provinces in Southern Sumatra in Indonesia. This study uses the gender analysis perspective approach. The roles of women and men in different fishery activities were described based on the gender analysis framework which is composed of an activity profile, access and control profile, and factors and trends. As a result, men dominate productive roles, while women dominate reproductive and household activities. Gender issues, interpreted as socially constructed differences between men and women, can affect key factors in sustainable livelihoods. Both men and women reported that their participation in socio-cultural activities is strongly linked to biology, with men taking on heavier labor associated with masculinity and women undertaking lighter activities. Understanding and including women’s practical and strategic needs is critical to improving the effectiveness of development and the spread of its benefits.

SDG 16 seeks to establish peaceful, inclusive societies with access to justice and accountable institutions. Religious moderation is a key means to achieve these goals, promoting dialogue, tolerance, and conflict reduction, while also supporting women’s empowerment, child protection, fair institutions, and countering radicalization through education. Interfaith collaboration strengthens efforts related to the environment and poverty. It fosters community participation, contributing to peaceful society in line with SDG 16. Framed within constructivism, this research examines how religious moderation, as a balanced approach that respects different faiths while practicing one’s own, can influence norms, identities, and international discourse regarding SDG 16. By analyzing interactions among religious actors, institutions, and state policies, the study assesses how religious moderation shapes societal values in support of social harmony, peace, justice, and human rights. Additionally, it highlights the role of non-state actors, like religious groups, in influencing social policies. By studying the mobilization efforts of religious organizations advocating for SDG 16, the research reveals how religious moderation promotes social harmony and human rights by using religious principles as a common basis for cooperation in today’s world. This study aims to explain how religious moderation can advance SDG 16 by fostering social harmony and upholding human rights in contemporary society. To address these questions, the research utilizes constructivism theory, SDG concepts, and the concept of religious moderation. Qualitative methods and literature studies are employed for data collection and analysis, illuminating the connection between religious moderation and SDGs. The research acknowledges challenges related to cultural variations and extremist interpretations, contextualizing the application of religious moderation in diverse societies. Ultimately, the study finds that religious moderation has the potential to promote equitable access to human rights and social inclusivity under the implementation of SDG 16. It contributes to a comprehensive understanding of how religious moderation can drive social harmony and human rights in today’s complex and dynamic world.

Chronic diseases, especially hypertension, are society’s most common health problems. One of the government’s efforts is to collaborate with BPJS Health in managing chronic diseases, especially hypertension, through Prolanis (Chronic Disease Management Program). In its implementation, Prolanis involves the important role of health workers at public health centers. This research aims to see the effectiveness of the role of health workers as communicators in increasing the accountability of Prolanis hypertension services in public health centers. This research uses a qualitative approach by conducting in-depth interviews with informants. Data analysis utilizes a qualitative study’s content during the data collection and interpretation process. The data that has been collected and processed will be presented in narrative form. The results of the research explain that Prolanis officers and participants gave a good assessment of Prolanis. As communicators, Prolanis officers have thoroughly understood the information about Prolanis so they can provide accurate education to Prolanis participants. The information provided includes the intensity and dosage of medication, the dangers of hypertension and the negative impacts of not taking medication regularly, how to control blood pressure, foods that should be consumed and avoided, and other information related to hypertension. Moreover, Prolanis officers also appear as good and polite communicators and use language that is easy to understand.

Relevance. The need to improve the reliability and efficiency of the technological ore grinding system by element-by-element optimal loaded redundancy of its elements. Aim. To substantiate the need to improve the efficiency of the ore grinding technological system functioning by optimal redundancy; to find out an approximate solution of the following problems: 1) to maximize the efficiency of the ore grinding complex system functioning by element-by-element loaded redundancy limited, superimposed on the technical and economic indicator of the system; 2) to minimize technical economic indicator of the ore grinding system at the set value of the efficiency indicator of its functioning. Object. Ore grinding technological system, considered as a system with many operable states (multi-state system), the elements of which have only two possible states. The system under consideration is reserved by the element-by-element loaded redundancy method. Methods. Method for evaluating the efficiency of functioning of the systems with many states, the method of indefinite Lagrange multipliers. Results. The authors have obtained an approximate value of the performance indicator of the ore grinding technological system with many workable states, the elements of which have only two possible states. The paper considers the problems of optimal redundancy of the ore grinding complex technological system. Approximate solutions of these problems are obtained by the method of indefinite Lagrange multipliers, which can be used in rough calculations at the stage of designing complex technological systems for grinding ore. The problem of optimal redundancy is also considered, when it is possible to reserve only m elements from the n elements of ore grinding complex system. Taking into account certain assumptions for the efficiency of the system functioning, reserved by the element-by-element loaded redundancy method, an approximate solution of this problem is obtained.
