Dynamics of one two-level-atom interacting with a multiple cavity modes
Authors: Said Taoufik , Chouikh Abdelhaq , Sakhi Zoubida , Bennai Mohamed
Published: September 2023

We discuss how to implement quantum logic gates by considering a two-level-atom driven by a strong microwave field and successively interacting with m+1 cavity modes. The scheme is insensitive to the initial state of the atom, and the operation time is independent of the number of cavity modes involved in the system operations. This scheme is used to realize two quantum logic gates (m-target-qubit controlled-global-phase gate and Multi-qubit phase shift gate) in a time much shorter than the photonic lifetime. We also studied the influence of decoherence on the fidelity. In general, our system is reasonably less sensitive to the photonic and atomic decay rates and therefore it can be experimentally realized.
Many-body quantum state control in the presence of environmental noise
Authors: Yu Zara , Luo Da-Wei
Published: September 2023

We consider the quantum state control of a multi-state system which evolves an initial state into a target state. We explicitly demonstrate the control method in an interesting case involving the transfer and rotation of a Schr\"{o}dinger cat state through a coupled harmonic oscillator chain at a predetermined time $T$. We use the gradient-based Krotov's method to design the time-dependent parameters of the coupled chain to find an optimal control shape that will evolve the system into a target state. We show that the prescribed quantum state control can be achieved with high fidelity, and the robustness of the control against generic environment noises is explored. Our findings will be of interest for the optimal control of a many-body open quantum system in the presence of environmental noise.
Closed-form analytic expressions for shadow estimation with brickwork circuits
Authors: Arienzo Mirko , Heinrich Markus , Roth Ingo , Kliesch Martin
Published: September 2023

Properties of quantum systems can be estimated using classical shadows, which implement measurements based on random ensembles of unitaries. Originally derived for global Clifford unitaries and products of single-qubit Clifford gates, practical implementations are limited to the latter scheme for moderate numbers of qubits. Beyond local gates, the accurate implementation of very short random circuits with two-local gates is still experimentally feasible and, therefore, interesting for implementing measurements in near-term applications. In this work, we derive closed-form analytical expressions for shadow estimation using brickwork circuits with two layers of parallel two-local Haar-random (or Clifford) unitaries. Besides the construction of the classical shadow, our results give rise to sample-complexity guarantees for estimating Pauli observables.We then compare the performance of shadow estimation with brickwork circuits to the established approach using local Clifford unitaries and find improved sample complexity in the estimation of observables supported on sufficiently many qubits.

Authors: Foucher Alexandre C. , Rosen Daniel J. , Decker Lucy K. , Macfarlane Robert J. , Murray Christopher B. , Stach Eric A. , Ross Frances M.
Published: September 2023

We have successfully synthesized monodisperse core-shell Cu-Pt particles through a solvothermal method that enables control of the shell thickness to enhance the exposed Pt surface area and keep a narrow size distribution. The core-shell Cu-Pt particles were tested as a catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction and showed promising catalytic properties. Post-catalysis analysis showed that most particles remain stable after catalysis. In situ electron microscopy demonstrates the remarkable stability of the sample in an oxidizing environment. It also underlines the degradation mechanisms in oxidative conditions, with segregation of Pt and Cu oxide and the loss of the core-shell configuration. These core-shell Cu-Pt particles have the potential to improve the effectiveness of costly metals used in surface reactions for heterogeneous catalysis.

Crystallographic characterization of NO2-C6H4-I(NTf)2 (NTF = bistriflimide) is reported. Experimental results find that this compound can perform oxidation reactions that ArI(OTf)2 is unable to and theoretical analysis indicates Ar-I(NTf)2 is the most oxidizing in the ArIL2 class of compound known and may also be the most oxidizing compound in the class practically possible.
The quantum mechanical particle-in-a-box experiment- A revisit using NMR spectroscopy.
Authors: Kiran Maram , Krishnan Krish
Published: September 2023

The particle-in-a-box experiment is a well-known method used to teach quantum mechanics concepts in physical chemistry labs for undergraduates. The investigation involves measuring the wavelength at maximum absorbance (max) of electronic transitions in the UV-vis spectrum and linking it to the box length. As the electronic configurations directly influence the nuclear shielding, a computational approach to estimate the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts is shown to relate to the box length. This article revisits what Flewwelling and Laidlaw suggested over 50 years ago: NMR chemical shifts can indirectly relate to the box's length via electron density calculations. For a series of molecules (polyenylic ions) of increasing carbon chain length, the activity allows the students to develop a broader understanding of how Schrödinger's equation for a particle in a box model, electron density calculations, and NMR spectroscopy are all connected at the atomic level. Additionally, the open-ended computational procedure leverages easily accessible tools to estimate NMR chemical shifts, and this approach is suitable as a viable remote learning exercise that supplements traditional UV-vis experiments.

Published: September 2023

The specific three-dimensional structure, e.g. the chirality, of the product of many important reactions is determined in large part by the structure of a catalyst, for example the ligand around a metal center, that makes the reaction tractable. Here, we demonstrate that the chiral selectivity of the hydrogenation of a methyl 2-amidoacrylate via a fixed bisphosphine Rh catalyst can be improved by embedding that catalyst into an appropriate heterogenous elastomeric support and transducing the mechanical deformation of the elastomer to the catalyst. The ratio of R and S product isomers is strain-dependent and reversible upon relaxing the support. Stretching the support by 50% in a single dimension increases the R:S ratio of the product by up to 32%.

Authors: DUĞRU Meltem , DİNÇSOY Enver Erdinç
Published: September 2023

ÖZET: Bankacılık sektörü tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de öncü sektörlerden biridir ve ekonomik açıdan varlığı önemlidir. Sistemin içerisinde yer alan bankalar ise bir taraftan aracılık faaliyetlerini yürütürlerken diğer taraftan birer kredi yaratma mercii olarak faaliyet göstermektedirler. Bankalar bu faaliyetlerini yerine getirirken çeşitli gelir kaynakları yaratmaya çalışırlar. Gelir kaynaklarından en önemlisi faiz kalemidir. Ancak son yıllarda yaşanan değişim ve dönüşümler sonucunda faiz dışı gelir kalemleri de güçlü bir kazanç kapısı haline gelmiştir. Bu durum bankaların karlılıklarının yanı sıra kredi aktarım mekanizmasının işleyişi için önem arz etmektedir. Yapılan çalışma ile bankaların kullandırdığı toplam krediler üzerinde faiz gelirlerinin ve faiz dışı gelirlerin hangi ölçüde etkili olduğu araştırılmıştır. Böylece hangi gelir kaleminin banka kredileri üzerinde daha etkili olduğu ve hangi yönde etkileşim yaşadığı Vektör Otoregresif Model (VAR) modeli yardımıyla Granger nedensellik analizi kapsamında tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak faiz gelirleri ile krediler arasında karşılıklı ve pozitif yönde bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilirken faiz dışı gelirin de faiz gelirleriyle birlikte etkili olduğu bulgusu elde edilmiştir.

ABSTRACT: The banking sector is one of the leading sectors in Turkey as well as in the rest of the world, and its existence is important in terms of economy. The banks in the system, on the one hand, carry out their intermediary activities, on the other hand, they operate as a credit creation authority. While performing these activities, banks try to create various sources of income. The most important source of income is the interest item. However, as a result of the changes and transformations experienced in recent years, non-interest income items have also become a powerful source of income. This is important for the profitability of banks as well as the functioning of the credit transfer mechanism. In this study, it has been investigated to what extent interest incomes and non-interest incomes affect the total loans extended by banks. Thus, it has been tried to determine which income item is more effective on bank loans and in which direction it interacts with the help of the VAR model within the scope of Granger causality analysis. As a result, while a mutual and positive causality relationship was determined between interest incomes and loans, it was found that non-interest income was also effective together with interest income.

Keywords: Interest Income, Non-Interest Income, Loans, VAR, Granger Causality Analysis.

This study comprehensively assesses weathering and soil development in the alluvial plains of Albania's Drin and Mat rivers. By analyzing soil properties, mineralogical compositions, and weathering indices, it provides crucial insights into the intricate link between geological processes and soil fertility in these key agricultural areas. The focus is on weathering indices such as the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA), Chemical Index of Weathering (CIW), and Plagioclase Index of Alteration (PIA), which reveal distinct weathering patterns across soil profiles and alluvial plains. Drin River alluvial soils display moderate indices, signaling relatively lower weathering, while Mat River alluvial soils exhibit higher indices, indicating more pronounced weathering. The study emphasizes the role of mineral composition on weathering and soil development, with easily weathered minerals suggesting a more conducive environment for weathering in Mat River soils compared to Drin River soils. Elemental composition differences in these soils significantly impact fertility, potentially affecting agricultural productivity. Correlation analyses highlight the influence of mineralogy and chemical composition on weathering rates. This study's insights into weathering dynamics, mineralogical, and elemental composition in alluvial soils highlight soil fertility implications, crucial for optimizing agriculture and addressing environmental concerns in these vital Albanian regions.
MODERNITY, SECULAR RELIGIONS AND VIOLENCE – AN ORTHODOX CHRYSTIAN PERSPECTIVE
Authors: BUTE Sorin
Published: September 2023

This article explores the relationship between modernity, secular religions, and violence from an Orthodox Christian perspective. It discusses how modernity emerged as a rejection of the transcendent, leading to a utopian desire for progress. The concept of monotheism and its alleged connection to violence is examined, with a counterargument asserting that Christianity's focus on love and human dignity contributed positively to European civilization. The analysis includes the role of secular ideologies, totalitarian regimes, and the rejection of traditional moral frameworks in promoting violence in the modern age.
SATAN IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD: EXPLORING CENTRAL MOTIFS IN LUKE’S GOSPEL
Authors: GRENIER Marc
Published: September 2023

This essay identifies and discusses some of the salient features contained in the central motifs employed in Luke’s gospel. It begins by addressing the key controversies involved in Lukan biblical scholarship such as the Theophilus reference in the Prologue; the Pauline connection; Luke’s stated purpose for writing his gospel; and Luke’s alleged concerns with imperial Rome. Then it proceeds to examine the central organizing principle or leitmotif of Luke’s gospel, the messianic identity of Christ, in relation to other dominant theological themes such as righteousness, Holy Spirit, gentiles, religious conflict, Satan, and Kingdom of God, as well as the core issues involved within each motif. The essay finds that the Satan motif is the most prevalent in Luke’s gospel especially in relation to the Kingdom of God concept. In fact, references to Satan or variations thereof are so dominant that it is not only one of the great hallmarks of the public ministry of Christ but, as well, absolutely central to a comprehensive understanding of Luke’s gospel. The Satan belief is such a core tenet of the Christian faith, it is safe to say that without it all other central Christian doctrines and concepts, and authentic Christian belief itself, would stand on very shaky grounds indeed.

The reasons (logoi) of creation, premises for the fulfilment of God's eternal plan. In order for the world to move towards the purpose for which it was created and to share in God's grace, it must have been created with this capacity and predisposition. It must be capable of receiving the grace that sanctifies it and of containing certain potencies that are actualized in the sense intended by the Creator. These potencies have been much spoken of in Orthodox theology, and are known as the rations (logoi) of creatures

THE RATIONAL EXPRESSION OF THE SUPREME BEING IN KANTIAN THEORETICAL PHILOSOPHY VERSUS THE EXPERIENCE OF THE PERSONAL GOD IN THEOLOGY
Authors: PETROV George Daniel
Published: September 2023

the science of sciences, has tried, starting from what could be expressed rationally, to explain the existence or the possibility of man's knowledge of the existence of the Supreme Being, as designated by Immanuel Kant. The questions that can be raised are: can human reason grasp the transcendental meanings of the Supreme Being? Can philosophical reason be overcome by theological knowledge, as a result of experiencing the Personal God? The answer to these questions can only be expressed through an analysis of Kant's rational arguments alongside the mode of knowledge proposed by theology
Strategy for Increasing Solid Waste Levy Revenue in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatera Province
Authors: Permatasari Rosmalinda , Firda Ani
Published: September 2023

Solid waste management (SWM) is still a big challenge for cities around the world, especially in rapidly developing metropolitan cities in developing countries, one of which is in South Sumatera Province. This province consists of several regencies and cities that already have their own waste management systems. Ogan Ilir Regency is one of the districts that has its own waste management system, but it has not run effectively because the waste retribution has not been optimally implemented. This writing paper aims to analyze potential sources of waste retribution, analyze aspects of willingness to pay and recommend new amounts of waste retribution in accordance with existing circumstances. The research method used is in the form of surveys, observations and interviews with the intended respondents. The new levy analysis is based on Regulation Number 7 of the Indonesian Minister of Home Affairs (Permendagri) for 2021. The findings revealed that there were various possible waste retributions emanating from the market sector of IDR 437,635,000, however only IDR 85,144,500 were realized. The willingness to pay study results suggest that education level and income have a large influence on the readiness to pay for waste retribution. The newly obtained levy is IDR 237,922 per ton for the recommended outcomes. The new levy analysis is based on Regulation Number 7 of the Indonesian Minister of Home Affairs (Permendagri) for 2021.

The Effect of Ownership Structure and Board Diversity on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Disclosure
Authors: Nurhalisa Putri , Hernawati Erna
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The aim of this studi is to determine the effect of ownership structure and Board Diversity on Disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility
 
Theoretical framework: Agency theory can be defined as a relationship that occurs between the principal (owner) and agent (manager) and meets in a contract, where the manager becomes the party that is given the power to make decisions that represent the decisions of the owners in the context of managing the operational activities of the business entity.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach:  This research is a quantitative study that aims to determine the effect of ownership structure (institutional ownership, managerial ownership, ownership concentration) and board diversity (gender diversity board and nationality diversity board). The samples in this study were taken from the manufacturing and mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2019-2021 period which were selected based on the purposive sampling method.
 
Findings: The results of the test show that (1) institutional ownership has negative effect on disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility, (2) managerial ownership has no effect on disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility, (3) concentration of ownership has a negative effect on disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility, (4) board gender diversity does not affect the disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility, (5) the nationality diversity board does not affect the disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The higher institutional ownership in the company causes them to be able to control decisions in the company. And the results of this study also state that there is a negative influence between institutional ownership and disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility because institutional investors or shareholders tend to make short-term investments that focus more on company profits and profits in order to get returns from their investments and tend not to pay attention to the problem of Corporate Social Responsibility in the company.
 
Originality/Value: This research are that some of them are that there are still many companies in the sector used in the research that do not publish sustainability reports. In addition, the research only uses sustainability reports that use the GRI Standard guidelines, so the sample obtained is relatively small.
Exchange Rate Volatility and Nigerian Stock Market Development
Authors: Gbadebo Adedeji Daniel
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The study aims to evaluate the impact of exchange rate volatility on the indicators of stock market, such as the returns, capitalization, liquidity, transaction volume, based on the Nigerian evidence.
 
Theoretical framework: The paper considers extant model of exchange rate-stock market interactions. Because the diversity of the market is important the paper follows suggestions by El-Wassal (2013) to examine variety of stock market indicators in order to offer accurate depiction of how the stock market drives exchange rate volatility.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employs a simple static regression model of stock market indicators with autoregressive adjustment component which absorb autocorrelation. The models are tested on annual data (1985-2020).
 
Findings: The study finds that the exchange rate volatility has negative impact on stock market development - returns, capitalization and volume. The paper reveals further that other correlated controls factors impinge different impacts on the stock market indicators.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: One implication of the finding is that the volatility may discourage investors, reduce firm performance, and lead to reduction on the returns of firm shares. Policy makers should put in place growth-inducing infrastructural investments to make the business environment more conducive to attract foreign capital, while also positioning the capital market with several initiatives to increase trading activities.
 
Originality/Value: The connection between the foreign exchange and financial markets is of policy importance. Although the focus is on the Nigerian markets, the evidence could be extended to other African and global markets, to serve as guide to foreign investors.

In Search of Ummah Welfare Model: The Revitalisation of Sharia Economic Law in Indonesia
Authors: Hariyanto Erie , Harisah Harisa , Hamzah Moh. , Mujib Fatekhul , Hidayatullah Hidayatullah , Marheni Cut Linda
Published: September 2023

Sharia economic law in Indonesia has been revitalised through legal unification and codification to improve national economic development. In this context, the Sharia economy has become a guideline in every transaction. Therefore, people must understand the Islamic economic concept to create maslahah (goodness) in every aspect of life. Sharia economic law is not a new system, as it has been implemented since the era of the Prophet. However, there is a need for adjustment in the implementation of the Sharia economic law from time to time to enable it responding the current development. This study employs qualitative inquiry, using library research to analyse Sharia economic law's history and legal development. Legal documents used include state laws and regulations, the regulations of the Bank of Indonesia, the fatwa of DSN-MUI, and others. This paper argues that the revitalisation of the Sharia economic law in Indonesia is in line with the efforts made by the predominantly Muslim population to conserve and develop the system. This includes non-legalised and legalised implementation of the Sharia economic system, such as Sharia banking. Furthermore, the system does not contradict the value of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution’s pillars of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Sharia economic law, prioritising moral and religious principles, has proven to create maslahah and become a solution to the economic crisis. This was shown by the survival of Sharia banks during the 1998 economic crisis, maintaining the Sharia-standardised contract to create justice in society.

Indonesia’s juvenile delinquency is rapidly increasing in a high number every year. At the same time, restorative justice’s implementation through the diversion mechanism is ineffective. This circumstance indicates that efforts to enhance juvenile delinquency settlement are essential. Hence, this research elaborates on diversion challenges in settling cases involving juveniles in Indonesia. Moreover, it will analyse efforts to optimise diversion implementation in strengthening restorative justice in settling juvenile cases in Indonesia. This is normative research that uses a statutory approach and is described qualitatively. The research illustrates numerous obstacles in applying diversion during juvenile delinquency resolution in Indonesia. Amongst the difficulties are legal factors; law enforcer factors; factors of means or supporting facilities; societal factors, and cultural factors. These challenges incline the necessity to improve diversion applications in Indonesia’s juvenile delinquency. The effectiveness of diversion will contribute positively to the restorative justice system in Indonesia. Furthermore, optimising diversion is possible through reformulating regulation and prioritising prevention efforts to prevent juvenile delinquency from reaching litigation settlement.

Published: September 2023

The Malaysian Parliament approved three Bills on Intellectual Property rights. One of it is the Geographical Indications Bill 2021, repealing the Geographical Indications Act 2000 (the Old Act). The new Bill received royal assent on 16 March 2022 and came into operation on 18 March 2022, known as the Geographical Indications Act 2022 (the New Act). The revisions made in the New Act were essential to harmonise intellectual property standards in Malaysia and facilitate the country’s accession to the Marrakesh Treaty. These amendments ensure that Malaysia adheres to the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and fulfils its obligations under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The purpose of this paper is to examine the salient features introduced by the provisions of the New Act and to examine how the enhanced provisions attempt to realign intellectual property standards in Malaysia concerning Malaysia's broader obligations under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership which have come into effect in Malaysia on 18 March 2022. The methodology employed in this research is doctrinal, especially focusing on the interpretation and analysis of the statutory provisions. In light of the changes in the New Act, New Regulations and the New Guidelines, the paper concludes by forwarding several recommended best practices to be considered by registered proprietors in the country.

Authors: Demir Benli Merve
Published: September 2023

Background/Aim: Sports injuries represent a significant public health concern, and their prevalence is on the rise due to the growing global population and increased participation in amateur and professional sports. Epidemiological studies on sports injuries are crucial in identifying priority areas for injury prevention efforts. While there is a wealth of research on musculoskeletal injuries specific to various sports, there is a scarcity of epidemiological studies focusing on patients seeking care at sports medicine outpatient clinics. This study aims to define and categorize the diagnoses of patients presenting to a sports medicine outpatient clinic for musculoskeletal injuries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all patient visits for musculoskeletal injuries at the sports medicine outpatient clinic between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023. Patients with complaints other than musculoskeletal injuries and those lacking sufficient data (diagnosis or injury type) in the data recording system were excluded. Data recorded for each participant included age, sex, symptoms, injured body region, and injury type. Diagnoses were categorized using the Orchard Sports Injury and Illness Classification System (OSIICS) v.13. Descriptive analyses provided a detailed overview of reported injuries, including counts and proportions within specific injury categories. Categorical variables are presented as ‘n’ and (%), while continuous variables are expressed as medians with interquartile ranges (IQRs).
Results: Data from 1,203 patients (395 females and 808 males) were analyzed, with a mean age of 24 (2.2) years. A total of 1393 injuries were documented, with the knee being the most commonly injured body region (n=398, 30.7%). Among the OSIICS v.13 injury categories, muscle/tendon injuries constituted 33.7% (n=466) of all injuries, followed by cartilage/synovium/bursa injuries (n=432, 31.2%).
Conclusion: This study revealed that the knee was the most frequently injured body region among patients seeking care at the sports medicine clinic for musculoskeletal injuries. Muscle/tendon injuries were the predominant type of injury observed.

La investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre la Coordinación Motora (CM) con el Índice de Masa Corporal en escolares chilenos de entre 7 y 9 años. El estudio fue observacional de corte transversal, con características descriptivas y correlacionales. Se evaluaron a 180 escolares (90 mujeres de 8.4 ± 0.9 años y 90 hombres de 8.5± 0.9 años). Se midieron variables antropométricas de peso y talla. Se calculó el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC). La coordinación motora (CM) se evaluó utilizando la batería de Körperkoordinationstest Für Kinder (KTK). Los resultados mostraron que en las mujeres el grupo Normopeso tenía un mejor desempeño en la transposición lateral que los grupos Sobrepeso y Obesidad (p˂0.05). En los hombres, el grupo Normopeso superó al grupo Obesidad en los saltos monopedales (p˂0.05). Además, al analizar las diferencias entre sexos, se determinó que las mujeres registraron mayor puntaje que los hombres en el equilibrio a la retaguardia (p<0.05), por su parte, los hombres registraron mejores rendimientos en saltos laterales, transposición lateral y el puntaje total del KTK (p<0.05). Se concluye que existe menor índice de CM en los escolares con elevado IMC, y que existen diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres en el equilibrio, saltos laterales, transposición lateral y el puntaje total del test KTK.

According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), cervical cancer is ranked second, with a high mortality rate in women every year. Cervical cancer is caused by the presence of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which directly attacks the cervix. Additionally, an unhealthy lifestyle can cause attacks of this disease. Several methods can be used to detect cervical cancer early, one of which is Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA). Through VIA, tests can determine whether patients are infected with the HPV virus. The results of the VIA test can be seen with the naked eye, but medical experts have different opinions about the diagnosis made using their vision. Therefore, to assist medical practitioners in diagnosing the results of VIA, an examination with a technological approach was carried out. Digital imagery was used for the analysis. A medical expert’s Android camera was used with .jpg image format to capture pictures of the VIA test results. In this study, cervical cancer image classification was carried out from the results of the VIA test examination that had been carried out at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, with as many as 255 data points for Negative VIA and 65 data points for Positive VIA. In the image processing of the VIA test results, CLAHE images and Canny Edge Detection images are used. Deep learning was used with the ResNet-50 and ResNet-101 architectural models to classify images, and different hyperparameter configurations, such as optimizers, learning rates, batch sizes, and input sizes, were tested. In this study, the best results were obtained using Canny Edge Detection images with hyperparameter configurations using the SGD optimizer with a learning rate of 0.1, a batch size of 32, and an input size of 224 × 224.
