Authors: Mubaraq Nazam Rio , Rojuaniah Rojuaniah
Published: April 2024

The application of good corporate governance principles is vital in all companies, particularly in the banking sector. This study examines the impact of good corporate governance on job satisfaction and employee performance, as well as the relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance. Public trust in state-owned banks is higher than that of private banks, making BNI an interesting case study. BNI, as the only state-owned bank operating globally, is known for its good corporate governance practices, as evidenced by its high CGPI score. This study focuses on permanent employees of BNI's Regional Office 15 in East Jatinegara, Jakarta. A survey was conducted among 125 respondents using SEM PLS. The results show that good corporate governance principles positively affect job satisfaction and employee performance, but job satisfaction does not directly impact employee performance. This research contributes to managerial implications, suggesting that companies can redesign positions, promotions, salaries, or rewards to enhance job satisfaction among employees. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights for managers to improve employee satisfaction and performance by implementing good corporate governance practices.

Published: April 2024

Anchoring is tying the ship to the bottom of the water so that the ship is not exposed to currents and wind. When anchoring anchors, there are often various kinds of problems stemming from internal and external factors. Internal factors themselves include problems with parts of the anchor that support anchor performance caused by lack of maintenance, especially on the anchor chain. This is what makes the author choose to raise the issue of the role of anchor chain maintenance.
The research method used is qualitative descriptive by describing the role of maintaining a good and correct anchor chain. The data used is in the form of primary data obtained through field observations and interviews. Secondary data are obtained through documentation and literature studies.
The results showed the need for anchor chain maintenance procedures to support the implementation of PMS on board, to create safe conditions when docking and support anchor work. The impact that will arise if you do not carry out the role of maintaining a good and correct anchor chain, namely corrosion, exhaustion of wildcat gears, influence on the anchor berthing process, the heavy up anchor process is disrupted and can hamper ship operations.

Key results: Score card evaluation by human radiologists indicates that time savings in documentation / administration can be expected without loss of quality from using ChatGPT. Further, automatically generated texts were not assessed to be clearly identifiable as AI-produced.
Conclusions: Patients, doctors, and hospital administrators would welcome a reduction of the time that interventional radiologists need for documentation and administration these days. If AI-tools as tested in the present study are brought into clinical application, questions about trust into those systems eg with regard to medical complications will have to be addressed.
Family Transformation Toward Sakinah: A Review of Tarekat Naqsabandiyah Khalidiyah Role in Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Turi Panekan Magetan
Authors: Choirul Daroji
Published: April 2024

Marriage is a very sacred ceremony, which aims to achieve happiness and in fact this marriage ceremony is inseparable from the rules set out in religious law. The main goal is to form a family filled with love and affection. However, in this day and age, the concept of family has lost its spiritual dimension as a means of worship to the Creator. Marriage is often considered a mere formality process, a social agreement between two individuals of different genders. As a result, the sacred meaning of marriage, where God is the witness to the covenant, is dimmed due to the lack of spirituality that pervades society. Family well-being is often measured in material terms, while spirituality plays a more important role. Therefore, the author is interested in examining families that have more value in the spiritual aspect, especially families related to tarekat. The purpose of this study is to uncover the impact of tarekat teachings on family well-being. In this article, the theory of spiritual intelligence is used as a foundation. The research method used is descriptive-analytical field research, using phenomenological and psychological approaches. Data were collected through interviews with primary sources consisting of murshids and students of the Naqsabandiyah Khalidiyah tarekat, as well as using secondary sources in the form of references from relevant books and journals. The results showed that marriage involves divine and human commitments, and is a social covenant. The implementation and role of the family in the Naqsabandiyah Khalidiyah tarekat take place as families in general. Therefore, tarekat can be considered as an alternative solution in forming a spiritually prosperous family
Uniting the Indian Opposition
Authors: Jain Anmol
Published: April 2024

More than 35 parties have come together to form a big-tent united opposition bloc called the ‘Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance’ (“INDIA”) to jointly fight the BJP in the 2024 General Elections. They believe that if the opposition could field a single common candidate against every BJP candidate, they could potentially defeat the BJP or at least challenge its ambitious goal of winning a supermajority. The strategy of uniting the opposition against an electorally strong and populist leader is not uncommon, both for India and globally. In the following paragraphs, I’ll discuss how this strategy has played out in the recent past and what lessons INDIA could learn from such a global experience.

Authors: Joński Marcin , Joński Jakub , Jońska Karolina
Published: April 2024

Wprowadzenie: Przewlekła niewydolność żylna (CVI) stanowi wyzwanie zdrowotne, wpływając na wydolność naczyniową i kondycję skóry kończyn dolnych. Objawy CVI, zwłaszcza w stadium C6 z aktywnymi owrzodzeniami, wymagają ukierunkowanej interwencji, jednak często podlegają długotrwałej terapii zachowawczej.
 
Cel: Celem tej pracy jest zilustrowanie, w jaki sposób brak przyczynowego leczenia może opóźnić terapię owrzodzeń żylnych w CVI w stadium C6. Wybór przedłużonej terapii zachowawczej uniemożliwia szybkie wdrożenie leczenia zabiegowego niezbędnego dla skutecznego gojenia owrzodzeń żylnych.
 
Materiały i metody: Opisano przypadki dwóch pacjentów w wieku 67 i 65 lat z aktywnymi owrzodzeniami żylnymi skóry w stopniu C6 CVI. Pacjenci byli wcześniej długotrwale leczeni zachowawczo bez znaczącej poprawy. Poprawę uzyskano dopiero wdrażając leczenie zabiegowe po skierowaniu pacjentów do specjalistycznej poradni Chorób Naczyń.
 
Wyniki: W obu przypadkach zastosowano endowaskularną ablacje laserową (EVLT) połączoną ze skleroterapią piankową, co doprowadziło do kompletnego zamknięcia zmienionych chorobowo żył i zagojenia owrzodzeń.
 
Wnioski: Wyniki pracy podkreślają wyzwania związane z długotrwałym leczeniem zachowawczym aktywnych owrzodzeń żylnych oraz argumentują za korzyściami ekonomicznymi i terapeutycznymi ukierunkowanych interwencji, takich jak EVLT i skleroterapia piankowa, w przyspieszaniu gojenia owrzodzeń żylnych i poprawie jakości życia pacjentów. Wskazane jest zwiększenie świadomości, współpracy interdyscyplinarnej i dostępności narzędzi diagnostycznych dla optymalizacji opieki nad pacjentami z CVI. Przewlekła niewydolność żylna, zwłaszcza w połączeniu z aktywnymi owrzodzeniami (C6), stanowi znaczne obciążenie społeczne i indywidualne, a skuteczne interwencje mogą istotnie poprawić wyniki leczenia.

APPLICABILITY OF WATER-GAS NOZZLES FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHING WITH THINLY SPRAYED WATER
Authors: Andryushkin Alexander , Khmelevskoy Nikita , Kadochnikova Elena
Published: April 2024

The low efficiency of traditional water extinguishing systems is due to the formation of large droplets. Large droplets have a small external surface area, which causes poor heat removal from the ignition source. A large external surface area of droplets is provided by fire extinguishing systems with thinly sprayed water. They are effective in extinguishing fires at the initial stage of a fire in confined spaces and ensure the formation of droplets less than 150 microns. The analysis showed that water-gas nozzles with co-directional flows of water and gas are suitable for creating finely dispersed water with a droplet size of less than 100 microns. To ensure significant heat removal from the ignition source, the average diameter of the droplets of finely dispersed water should be less than 80 microns. A technique for determining the size of droplets when sprayed with water-gas nozzles is presented. According to the method, the calculation of the average diameter of droplets was carried out depending on the ratio of volume flow rates of gas and water. It is shown that fire extinguishing with finely sprayed water with the help of water-gas nozzles is effective at a gas pressure in front of the annular gap from 0,4 MPa to 0,6 MPa and the ratio of volumetric air flow
to volumetric water flow is more than 2 000.
FEATURES OF ASSESSING THE PROBABILITY OF FIRE DETECTION BY AUTOMATIC FIRE DETECTORS
Authors: Ivanov Anatoly , Shchastyantsev Vladimir , Limonov Boris
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this work is to draw the attention of fire automation specialists to the issue of the lack of a methodology for assessing the probability of timely detection of a fire by automatic fire detectors. At the same time, in regulatory documents on the calculation of fire risks at protection facilities, this parameter appears under the names «probability of effective operation» and «coefficient that takes into account the compliance of the fire alarm system with the requirements of regulatory documents on fire safety». At the same time, their values are fixed without a comprehensive analysis of statistical data on the operation of fire alarm systems on fires and without taking into account the impact of the service life of automatic fire detectors included in the system on the threshold of their operation. With this approach, the calculated values of fire risk values may differ significantly from the real ones. Therefore, the issue of the correct assessment of the probability of a timely fire by automatic fire detectors, and consequently, the fire alarm system formed by them, is relevant and requires a solution. The paper proposes to assess the probability of timely detection of fires by fire alarm systems based on a detailed analysis of statistical data on their work on fires, published annually in the statistical collections of Russian scientific research institute of fire protection of EMERCOM of Russia. In order to be able to conduct a detailed analysis, it is proposed to increase the volume of statistical data provided.

A Study of Neutrosophic Sets and Deep Learning Models for Breast Cancer Classification
Authors: Abdullah Walid
Published: April 2024

Medical image classification and detection using artificial intelligence (AI) can help enhance medical care services. Unfortunately, most medical image modalities suffer from some noise and uncertainty, which decreases the performance of disease detection and classification. Neutrosophic sets (NS) can handle uncertainty data within medical images. NS can present images into three subsets: true (T), indeterminacy (I), and fuzzy sets (FS). In this study, we investigate the performance of deep learning (DL) models under the NS domain for breast cancer classification. The crisp image domain is converted to the NS domain and represents the image into three subsets. The converted images are used to train seven DL models, such as VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, ResNet150, DenseNest121, EfficientNetB2, and MobileNetV2. A comparison between DL under NS and on the FS, domain has been made in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. The experimental results showed superior results for NS over FS.

Authors: Riyandi Rafly , Rinaldi Nino , Yunarti Rika Tri , Dwiatmoko Adid Adep , Simanjuntak Fidelis Stefanus Hubertson
Published: April 2024

The conversion of fatty acids into bio-hydrocarbons can be carried out through a deoxygenation (DO) reaction. Catalytic deoxygenation of fatty acids can occur through three reaction pathways: decarbonylation, decarboxylation, and hydrodeoxygenation. In this study, three kinds of silica were prepared: (i) silica obtained from the rice husk ash (RHA); (ii) synthetic mesoporous silica SBA-16; and (iii) commercial silica. All prepared silica was used as supported nickel (Ni) catalyst for bio-hydrocarbon production through DO reaction of oleic acid. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of variations of silica on the reaction pathway and final products composition of DO reaction of oleic acid. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analysis, and NH3-temperature-programme desorption. Based on XRF and XRD analysis results, it can be concluded that nickel was successfully impregnated into all silica. All samples of catalysts were used in a reaction carried out at temperature of 285 °C under a pressure of 40 bar H2 for 2h. The results showed that all catalysts were able to convert oleic acid to bio-hydrocarbon with differences in products composition. The highest oleic acid conversion of 98.25% was achieved with Ni/RHA catalyst but the obtained liquid products was the lowest among other catalysts. It is found that this phenomenon was closely related to the acidity properties of the catalyst.

Published: April 2024

As the rural bank in Indonesia, Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) serves people with limited products and services and is less regulated compared to Commercial Banks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth rate of BPR slowed down. We developed a hypothesis on the negative influence of financial technology (fintech) on the competitiveness and performance of BPR. Using all BPR companies and 22 Fintech Lending companies as samples to measure the HHI and Lerner Index, we found that BPR and Fintech Lending companies were competing in an unconcentrated market. Several variables could not be examined while studying the determinants of BPR’s competitiveness, including Regional GDP, BOPO, third party funds, Loan Credit, ROE, NIM, and CAR. Several determinants, such as the NPL, Fintech Lending, and COVID-19 pandemic, were found to have significant negative impacts on the BPR’s competitiveness. Interestingly, BPR’s banking digitalization, as represented by its IT capability, was found to be not significant in this study.

Every year, millions of people become ill, and hundreds of thousands die due to underprivileged safety of food. Microbial, chemical, personal and environmental hygiene are all challenges for food from farm to fork/plate. The current study was conducted in Punjab province to investigate to assess peoples’ knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding food safety at domestic level, as well as potential health hazards due to insufficient food safety practices. Sample of 700 women in three districts in Pakistan's Punjab province: Hafizabad, Rawalpindi, and Multan were selected. For analyzing the quantitative data we utilized, bivariate analysis techniques.  Specifically, we employed the Chi-square test to assess the degree of significance. Additionally, researcher used the Somers'd and Gamma tests to determine the strength of association. The major findings reveal a strong link between all socioeconomic and cultural variables (i.e. monthly income, education, food preparation at home, food management at home, consumption behavior, willingness to buy, risk perception, influence of media and health effects) and women's attitudes toward acquiring knowledge and practicing food safety to maintain their health. The public was concerned about food safety and handling standards. It was discovered that television could be effective tool for disseminating information about food safety to the general public. The frequency of food preparation at home also contributes to shaping attitudes, with more frequent home preparation leading to more favorable views on food safety practices.

Dengan berkembangnya teknologi saat ini, ekonomi digital juga semakin berkembang. Survey Katadata mengenai pilihan metode pembayaran online yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat, dompet digital sukses digunakan. Dompet digital mengalahkan metode bank dan tunai. Alasan penggunaan dompet digital tersebut antara lain praktis, mudah, banyak promosi, dan efisien. Tak jarang seseorang dapat melakukan top-up pada masing-masing dompet digital agar dapat memilih penawaran yang lebih menguntungkan baginya. Namun, terdapat masalah dalam transfer antar dompet digital. Di antaranya adalah kasus split bill dari sekelompok orang yang memiliki dompet digital yang berbeda. Biaya administrasinya bila diakumulasikan bisa mencapai milyaran rupiah per bulan. Fenomena ini dirasa tidak sepadan bagi masyarakat Indonesia, terutama masyarakat kecil, jika uangnya digunakan untuk biaya administrasi. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, diperlukan sebuah aplikasi transfer saldo antar dompet digital secara gratis sehingga dapat meringankan pengguna dalam melakukan transfer saldo tanpa biaya administrasi. Dengan menggunakan metode pengembangan sistem prototyping dan responsive web sebagai basis dari aplikasinya diharapkan penelitian ini dapat menawarkan proses bisnis yang menjadi jawaban dari masalah transfer antar dompet digital ini. Pada penelitian ini dirancang proses bisnis, alur fitur, dan tampilan aplikasi.
 
With the development of technology today, the digital economy is also growing. Katadata's survey on the choice of online payment methods made by the public found that digital wallets were successfully used. Digital wallets beat bank and cash methods. The reasons for using digital wallets include practicality, convenience, promotions, and efficiency. It is not uncommon for a person to top-up each digital wallet in order to choose the offer that is more favorable for him. However, there are problems in transferring between digital wallets. Among them is the case of split bills from a group of people who have different digital wallets. When accumulated, administrative costs can reach billions of rupiah per month. This phenomenon is not worth it for Indonesian people, especially small communities if their money is used for administrative costs. Therefore, to overcome this problem, a free balance transfer application between digital wallets is needed to relieve users in making balance transfers without administrative costs. This research is expected to offer a business process that answers the problem of transferring between digital wallets by using the prototyping system development method and responsive web as the basis of the application. The business process, feature flow, and application appearance are designed in this research.

This paper presents the findings of a descriptive multiple case study carried out with six teachers of English in five public secondary schools in a city in northwestern Mexico aimed to determine how writing was taught. A mixed methods approach was followed with an embedded design in which qualitative data had increased weight and quantitative data was supportive. Qualitative data were collected through an interview guide approach, non-participant observation, and qualitative document analysis, while quantitative supporting data were collected using structured observation and quantitative document analysis. In the qualitative analysis, four themes emerged: 1) writing activities, 2) resources, 3) assessment, and 4) frequency of work on writing. Results suggest that writing activities in which students are required to write one word, a phrase or a sentence predominate. Also, findings show that paper-based resources for writing tasks are frequently used. Qualitative results suggest that written exams, word dictation and class projects were assessment practices assigned by teachers; besides, findings suggest that the writing activities are form-driven rather than meaningdriven. The relevance of this research is that findings might provide the basis for designing quantitative studies in this context that allow for generalizations.
How to Improve the Performance of Elderly Care facility Embedded in Communities？—Case Study from Two Districts of Hangzhou, China
Authors: Huang Lu , Dai Xiaoling
Published: April 2024

China's population is ageing, and urban centres have high densities of older people.The Zhejiang Provincial Government has proposed that ‘institutions should follow the elderly’, requiring that not only the number of beds per 1,000 elderly persons should be counted, but also the distance between the facilities and the homes of the elderly should be taken into account.Applying both the new supply capacity calculations and the old calculations shows that the number of beds in elderly care facility(ECF) in Up-town District is well below the planning requirements.However, the occupancy data collected from the actual research shows that there are many elderly care facilities with a certain percentage of vacancies.This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of six of these facilities and finds that facility location, space quality, and quality of operational services, all affect occupancy rates.The study reminds the government to pay attention not only to the location of facilities, but also to the service quality of existing facilities. Finally, two dimensions of coping strategies are proposed.
