Authors: Purnamasari Yessy , Zewitra Zewitra , Bakhti Krisna Yudha , Febryanto Mohammad
Published: May 2023

Pandemi Covid-19 yang menyerang Indonesia sejak awal 2020 tidak menyurutkan semangat tim PKM dari Jurusan Bahasa Inggris Politeknik Negeri Bandung untuk melakukan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan berbagi ilmu untuk para anak asuh di Yayasan Inspirasi Bumi Ilmu, Bogor. Pemanfaatan video dalam pembelajaran jarak jauh merupakan salah satu solusi agar anak asuh tetap mendapat kesempatan yang sama untuk mendapatkan ilmu. Melalui media Canva, tim dosen berupaya membuat materi Bahasa Inggris level beginner yang tidak hanya menarik namun juga interaktif agar pembelajaran tidak terasa membosankan. Pelaksanaan PKM ini dilaksanakan mulai dari awal Januari 2021 hingga November 2021 dengan rincian kegiatan: persiapan selama satu bulan, penyampaian materi selama 10 bulan, dan penyusunan laporan selama satu bulan. Ada 10 (sepuluh) materi dasar dalam Bahasa Inggris yang diajarkan melalui video, diantaranya pengenalan angka, hari, bulan, dan anggota tubuh dalam Bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, melalui kerjasama yang baik dengan pengelola yayasan, para anak asuh juga diajak untuk mampu menunjukkan rasa percaya dirinya melalui serangkaian kegiatan latihan dan juga role-play yang dikemas dalam suasana menyenangkan. Setiap videonya disampaikan kepada pengurus yayasan melalui tautan yang dibagikan melalui Whatsapp setiap bulan dan pengurus juga menjadi mediator yang baik agar materi dari tim dosen dapat dipahami dengan baik oleh para anak asuh. Selama pelaksanaan, ada beberapa hambatan yang dialami oleh tim dosen. Pertama, pembuatan materi tematik dilakukan ditengah padatnya jadwal mengajar dan kegiatan administratif. Kedua, penentuan target peserta didik yang cukup sulit karena bervariasinya level pendidikan para anak asuh mulai dari sekolah dasar hingga menengah atas. Ketiga, minimnya kegiatan evaluasi dikarenakan keterbatasan waktu dan jarak.

Published: May 2023

Media sosial adalah sebuah media online, dengan cara penggunanya bisa dengan mudah berpartisipasi, berbagi dan menciptakan isi. Perkembangan media sosial akhir-akhir ini sangat pesat. Sehingga menjadi topik hangat untuk dibahas karena banyaknya masyarakat yang menggunakan media sosial namun kurang memahami makna medianya itu sendiri. Perkembangan media sosial secara langsung berdampak terhadap tatanan dari perilaku manusia, baik sebagai sarana informasi maupun sebagai sarana sosialisasi dan interaksi antar manusia. Media sosial seakan menjadi tempat menumpahkan segala aktivitas yang tidak jarang mengesampingkan beragam etika yang ada. Hal ini dilihat dari penggunaan bahasa non baku dan tidak resmi dalam berkomunikasi. Komunikasi adalah suatu proses penyampaian informasi (pesan, ide, gagasan) dari satu pihak kepada pihak lainnya. Komunikasi akan lebih efektif apabila pesan yang disampaikan dapat ditafsirkan sama oleh penerima pesan. Adapun Etika komunikasi yang baik dalam media sosial adalah jangan menggunakan kata kasar, provokatif, porno ataupun SARA; jangan memposting artikel atau status yang bohong; jangan mencopy paste artikel atau gambar yang mempunyai hak cipta, serta memberikan komentar yang relevan. Kata kunci: Media Sosial, Etika, dan Komunikasi

The research to be carried out has a goal by the formulation of the problem set, namely "To find out whether the outdoor education circuit games can have a significant influence on increasing the teamwork of Majenang karate athletes". In this study, the author used experimental research methods to determine the effect of circuit games on increasing teamwork in Majenang karate athletes. This study used a population of Majenang karate athletes with a population of 20 people in the age group of 14-16 years. The sample used by the age group of 14-16 years was selected which was suitable to be used as a research sample of 20 people. The results of the identification of problems show that Majenang Karate athletes tend to be individual and lack teamwork development. One of the factors that cause such individual characteristics is that the majority of match numbers that are followed are individual numbers. However, research shows that the use of circuit games in Majenang Regency Karate training has a significant effect on improving teamwork. This is proven by the increase in teamwork that occurs in a shorter time. Therefore, the use of circuit games has a positive impact on increasing teamwork and providing various benefits for Majenang Karate athletes.

Women and Land Governance in Selected African Countries: A Review
Authors: Chiwuzie Augustina , Prince Edith Mbagwu , Olawuyi Sayo Tolani
Published: May 2023

In most African countries, land and land rights are governed by sociocultural norms, which have a significant impact on gender relations. Women are seldom involved in land decision-making from their homes and communities to land administration institutions and ministries. Gender concerns have featured prominently on the development platform, and the land management and policy responses of many countries have focused on gender inequities. Despite advances in gender equality provisions in land policy, the experiences of the countries reported in this article reveal that women have limited to no participation in land governance because of patriarchal sociocultural constructs. Progressive local and national policies do not assure women’s participation in land governance. The need to modify attitudes and practices is more closely tied to improving women’s participation in land governance than any other legal issue. Lobbying and awareness initiatives are therefore required to change the mindsets and customary behaviours of the stakeholders.
A Comparative Stylistic and Technical Analysis of Four Ancient Egyptian Bronzes from Ditsong Museum, South Africa
Authors: Harcombe Mariette
Published: May 2023

The Ditsong National Museum of Cultural History in Pretoria, South Africa, is a holding institute for thousands of objects that are accessioned in its collections, including a small collection of Egyptian antiquities. As a multitude of these objects have been donated to the museum over many decades by private collectors, some information regarding object provenance and provenience is unknown. Missing details often include the object’s place of origin, its relative production date, production materials, as well as production methods and techniques. The archaeology collection features a small collection of ancient Egyptian bronze statuettes, also known as votive figures. Four bronzes, Sekhmet, Bastet/Cat, the Jackal/Dog, and the ibis, were investigated as part of the author’s doctoral study, which employed a mixed methodological approach that combined surface investigations, tomography, and comparative stylistic analysis to provide insights into ancient production. This article focuses on a comparative stylistic analysis in which online museum collections were consulted alongside published descriptions of similar objects and the gods/goddesses they depict. Following the analysis, recommendations are made towards the re-identification of two of the figures, while additional insights gained about their possible function could be incorporated into the Museum’s object catalogue.
The State of Records Management and Service Delivery in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
Authors: Maina Gilbert
Published: May 2023

Public service delivery by county governments in Kenya is increasingly being recognised as a pillar of development and public engagement with citizens. Good records management practices ensure that county governments are efficient and accountable. County governments have, however, been riddled with mismanagement due to unprofessional practices that can directly be associated with deficient records management systems. This study aimed at determining the state of records management in relation to services offered by Uasin Gishu County in Kenya. Key findings indicated that Uasin Gishu County generated a lot of paper-based records. The state of records management at the county headquarters was poor, while service delivery practices were of low standards. The study concluded that the poor state of records management had contributed to inadequate service delivery, making the county government inefficient in meeting its objectives. The study recommends that Uasin Gishu County should adopt a comprehensive records management and service delivery model. Top county management should offer its support, records management standards should be adopted and adhered to, and the records system should be manned by professional staff. Research implications include the development of sound policies and pragmatic solutions that affect records management and consequently improve service provision.

Factors driving changes to remuneration policies in South Africa
Authors: Bussin Mark
Published: May 2023

This study was conducted in 2012 and replicates Bussin and Huysamenâ€™s (2004) work, conducted in 2003, on remuneration policies. It investigates the factors driving remuneration policy in South Africa and determines whether these factors have changed since 2003. Anonymous e-mail questionnaires were received from 131 senior company representatives. All participating companies were members of the South African Reward Association (SARA) or clients of a large remuneration consulting firm. Data were analysed using a chi-squared test and factor analysis. Results support Bussin and Huysamenâ€™s study, which found that the two main drivers of change in policy were the retention of talented staff and the financial results of the organisation. However, three components of remuneration are receiving greater prominence than they did in 2003: governance in the organisation, merit pay and retention strategies. These findings suggest a greater shareholder expectation that pay should be linked to performance, and that pay acts as a retention strategy for critical staff.
Career anchors, organisational commitment and employee turnover intention in the retail sector
Authors: Coetzee Melinde , Schreuder AMG (Dries) , Clinton-Baker Michelle
Published: May 2023

The study explored the link between the career anchors, organisational commitment and turnover intention of a sample of individuals employed in the South African retail sector. A non-probability purposive sample (N = 343) of employees from an organisation in the South African retail sector was utilised. The participants were represented by predominantly women (72%) and black people (94%) between the ages of 25 and 45 years (80%). Following a cross-sectional quantitative research approach, correlational and stepwise regression analysis was performed to achieve the objective of the study. The results showed that the entrepreneurial creativity-anchored individuals were likely to have low organisational commitment and high turnover intention, while the lifestyle-anchored individuals had high levels of organisational commitment and high turnover intention. The dominant affective/normative commitment profile of the sample of participants significantly predicted low turnover intention. The findings of the study and practical implications provide useful information to managers interested in retaining staff in the retail sector.
The value of graduate destination survey data in understanding graduate unemployment: A focus on the universities of technology
Authors: Kraak Andre
Published: May 2023

This article contributes graduate destination survey (GDS) evidence to the debate about graduate unemployment in South Africa. There has been lively contestation on the topic for several years, including several contributions from the commercial press arguing that graduate unemployment is very high. In contrast, academic evidence (based on national labour force data for the period 1995â€“2011) has been presented suggesting that the unemployment of graduates in South Africa is minimal, on average only 4.9% in 2011. New evidence has emerged from two recent GDSs â€“ one comprehensive survey of all 2010 graduates across all qualification levels at all four universities in the Western Cape, and a second focusing only on the 2012 Bachelor of Technology (BTech) graduates at the Vaal University of Technology (VUT) in Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng. These two studies, using the same methodology and online questionnaire, provide a more accurate picture of the graduate unemployment problem in two important economic regions of the country. The results show that although rates of unemployment are low at the elite University of Cape Town (UCT) and Stellenbosch University (SU) (graduate unemployment is between 3 and 6%), rates are much higher at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) â€“ a former historically disadvantaged technikon â€“ with 15.8% unemployment among CPUT students. African unemployment at CPUT reached 20.2% among all first-time entrants (as compared with 4% for whites), suggesting the continuation of a racially stratified labour market for highly skilled labour long after apartheidâ€™s demise. Similarly, unemployment rates among the BTech VUT graduates of 2012 reached 18%. This is an extremely high rate for fourth-year graduates of a polytechnic-type institution whose primary mandate is to place qualified graduates in jobs in the mainstream economy.
Gender-based discrimination during appointments, promotions and remuneration: Views of South African managers
Authors: Steyn Renier , Jackson Leon
Published: May 2023

Managers are key in the appointment, promotion and remuneration of staff, and as such, they are actively involved when discrimination occurs in the workplace. This also applies to gender-based discrimination. The objective of the current research was to identify the points in human resource processes where gender-based discrimination most often occurs, as seen and experienced by managers. Interviews were conducted with 75 managers from 15 organisations. Questions were posed about the prevalence and nature of gender discrimination during different human resource processes. The responses were categorised and the overall inter-observer reliability was .88. Most cases of gender-based discrimination occur during promotion processes, and this generally involves pro-female discrimination. Pro-male discrimination occurs at appointment level and is often due to the inherent requirements of the job. Discrimination at remuneration level seems to favour men, allowing them to receive higher salaries than women at the same organisational level. Discrimination occurs in structured (e.g. job descriptions) as well as less structured (e.g. decision-making after interviews) phases of human resource processes. It can be concluded that gender-based discrimination still occurs and that both genders are affected negatively. It is recommended that managers be vigilant in order to avoid these discriminatory tendencies.
The CEOâ€™s route to the top: The South African experience
Authors: Van Melle Kamp Chris , Hofmeyr Karl , Adonisi Mandla
Published: May 2023

In this study we draw on a series of in-depth interviews with chief executives of some of South Africaâ€™s most prominent businesses, to investigate how their careers unfolded as they rose to the top of their organisations.Twenty-seven CEOs of South Africaâ€™s top companies were interviewed. Eleven of these companies are listed among the top 50 South African companies.We trace the evolution of leadership, from its embryonic beginnings in childhood and adolescence, through the different stages of a developing career to the crucial transformation of an operational mindset into a strategic one.We examine the circumstances that led to these CEOs being appointed and describe the difficulties of transitioning from a senior management role into that of chief executive. We look at the competencies and experience necessary to be effective as the leader of an organisation, as well as the role played by motivation and self-belief. Finally, we identify the unique leadership challenges faced by chief executives in South Africa and pass on their advice to the countryâ€™s next generation of leaders.
A preliminary study: perceived transformational leadership and work engagement within the South African army
Authors: Dibley James , Viviers Rian , Ellardus van Zyl Llewellyn
Published: May 2023

The objective of the study is to determine the relationship between the perceived transformational leadership styles of officers (as perceived by their followers) and their followersâ€™ levels of work engagement. Followers (n=307) were identified in units of the South African Army. They completed the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) (Form 5X) for their specific leaders. Correlational analyses indicate significant correlations between the transformational leadership style of officers and their followersâ€™ work engagement. A small amount of the variance in the work engagement outcomes can be predicted by transformational leadership. The findings suggest that there is a relationship between idealised influence (attributed) and vigour and dedication. Furthermore, individualised consideration was shown to relate to absorption within the South African sample. Idealised influence was found to predict some variance in vigour and dedication and individual consideration to predict some variance in absorption.
The development of a change agent identification framework for South African change agents
Authors: Van der Linde-de Klerk Marzanne , Martins Nico , De Beer Marie
Published: May 2023

The main aim of this research project was to develop a theoretical change agent identification framework that could enable organisational change management specialists to identify change agents more effectively in large organisations that are undergoing change. To date, little research has been conducted into the best way to identify change agents. Change agents can play a significant role in effectively assisting co-employees to adapt to change and in eliminating resistance. The sample of change agents utilised in this research project comprised employees at a large South African utility organisation who were affected by change themselves but nevertheless helped to communicate key messages to other affected employees and supported them throughout the change process. These change agents played a significant role in helping to develop a comprehensive change agent identification framework that focuses on those elements to be taken into account when selecting individuals in an organisation to serve as change agents. A thorough 12-step empirical research process which included both a qualitative and a quantitative approach was followed. The qualitative process and results constitute the focus of this article. The literature findings contributed towards a comprehensive understanding of the role of change agents, as well as of the elements that should form part of a change agent identification framework to be used as a basis for selecting change agents
The Relationship of Demographical Factors on University Students’ Coping Strategy
Authors: Maba Aprezo Pardodi , Hatta Kusmawati
Published: May 2023

This study examined the relationship between demographical factors and coping strategies in higher education students. A total of 606 students from a large public university in the Indonesia completed a survey that included measures of demographical variables (such as gender, age, living area, siblings, spending in a month, part-time job, and living arrangement) and coping strategies (such as problem focused, emotional focused, and disengagement). The results of the study indicated that having a part-time job was significantly correlated with coping strategies, in particularly problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping. While gender, age, living area, siblings, spending in a month, and living arrangement, were not observed to be significantly correlated with coping strategies. The findings of this study have a crucial implications for understanding the relationship of demographical factors affect coping strategy in university students. Furthermore, these findings may inform the development of interventions to support university students’ mental health. Future research should consider employing participants from various background and a longitudinal design to comprehensively understand the relationship between demographical factors and coping strategy in university students.
Yaşam Aktivitelerine Dayalı Hemşirelik Modelinin Cerrahi Hasta Eğitiminde Yeri
Authors: GÜLŞEN Muaz , ARSLAN Sevban
Published: May 2023

Cerrahi tedavi geçici veya kalıcı fonksiyonel kayıplara sebep olabilen, beden bütünlüğünü bozan, yaşam biçimini değiştiren, ağrılı ve anksiyete dolu bir deneyimdir. Yaşanan anksiyetenin minimum düzeyde olması, hastalarda enerjinin korunmasını sağlarken bireylerin dikkatini bir konuya odaklayarak mantıklı düşünmesini ve problem çözme becerisini korumaktadır. Tedavi sürecinde sağlıklı düşünebilen hastaların zorlukları aşması ve günlük yaşam aktivitelerini sorunsuz yerine getirmesi daha olasıdır. Fakat cerrahi geçiren hastaların çoğunun orta ve yüksek düzeyde anksiyete yaşadığı bilinmektedir. Bu hastaların anksiyete nedeniyle yaşadıkları problemler bakım ihtiyacını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Anksiyete düzeyini azaltmak için farmakolojik ve nonfarmakolojik uygulamalar mevcuttur. Farmakolojik yöntemler etkili olsa da bağırsak motilitesini azaltarak bulantı-kusmaya, solunum ve dolaşımın baskılanmasına neden olabilmektedir. Nonfarmakolojik yöntemler ucuz ve kullanımı kolay olmasına rağmen sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından, hasta takibi ve terapötik etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi zaman aldığı için pek tercih edilmemektedir. Her iki yöntemin de kullanımı kısıtlı olduğundan anksiyete oluşumunu, tedavi sürecinin en başında engelleyecek olan hasta eğitimi önerilmektedir. Bireyselleştirilmiş hasta eğitiminin planlanması ve uygulanmasında modellerden yararlanma, yaşam aktivitelerinin en rahat şekilde gerçekleşmesini sağlarken bakım kalitesini de arttırmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, hasta eğitiminde günlük yaşam aktivitelerine dayalı hemşirelik modelinin kullanımı ile hastaya bütüncül yaklaşım; hastanın algıladığı bakım kalitesini, bakımdan memnuniyetini ve sağlık hizmetine duyduğu güveni arttıracaktır.

Органолептические показатели качества – цвет, форма, состояние поверхности, вид на изломе, текстура, вкус и запах – оценивались по пятибалльной шкале ко- миссией из 10 экспертов. Определены физико-химические показатели образцов вафель – щелочность, влаж- ность и зольность. Выявлено, что содержание сорговой муки не оказывает существенного влияния на физико-хи- мические показатели качества, но придает готовым изделиям специфический вкус и аромат, свойственный сорго.

Sorghum flour has a number of useful properties. It does not contain gluten, is rich in antioxidants and micro and macro elements. The technology for the production of wafers, which include sorghum flour, is considered. One control and six prototypes were received. The composition of the control sample included premium wheat flour, powdered sugar, butter, egg yolks and soda. In addition to the described components, the composition of the prototypes included 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100% sorghum flour. The content of sorghum flour was calculated as a percentage of the total mass of flour. The organoleptic and physico-chemical indicators of the quality of the samples were determined. Organoleptic quality indicators – color, waffle shape, surface condition, fracture appearance, texture, taste and smell – were evaluated on a five- point scale by a commission of 10 experts. The physical and chemical parameters of the samples were determined – alkalinity, humidity and ash content. It was revealed that the content of sorghum flour does not have a significant effect on the physical and chemical quality indicators, but gives the finished products a specific taste and aroma characteristic of sorghum.
Analysis of multi-target directed novel non-peptidic chalcone scaffold as potential malaria plasmodium proteases inhibitors
Authors: Babalola Sodeeq , Muhammad Hayatudeen , Idris Abdullah , Hamza Asmau
Published: May 2023

Malaria remain an epidermic infectious disease that is ravaging the world most especially sub-Sahara Africa. Due to the prevalence of Plasmodium parasites that are resistant to first-line antimalarial drugs, it is urgently necessary to create new scaffolds and find strategies to overcome drug resistance. Chalcones are well-known, uncomplicated analogs that may be easily produced using a variety of techniques and are widely present in natural products. Utilizing in silico tools, we developed new antimalarial agents from active synthetic and natural product fragments, and then we assessed their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic profiles as therapeutic molecules against the biological targets of the parasite that causes the deadly type of malaria. In this research, active fragments from prenylated and quinolinyl chalcones with known antimalarial characteristics were combined via molecular hybridization. Four enzymes that have been implicated to the spread of malaria are used as the biological targets in the docking simulation for the ligands (prenylated-quinolinyl chalcone hybrids). Receptor-ligand complexes were viewed using Discovery Studio Visualizer 2017 and Chimera. Web-based tools (Moftsoft, SwissADME, Admetlab, and AdmetSAR 1 and 2) were utilized for drug-likeness and ADME prediction. The hybridized active segments created a brand-new scaffold with 169 new prenylated-quinolinyl chalcones. Post-docking studies found significant interactions between the drugs and the used targets. At least 25 of the compounds exhibit high affinities for the targets (-9.4 to -7.5 kcal/mol-1). The selected compounds had interesting ADME and drug-like properties. The compounds were qualified as possible antimalarial drugs due to their realistic pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics as well as their prospective antimalarial activity.
A Free Energy Decomposition Analysis: Insight into Binding Thermodynamics from Absolutely Localized Molecular Orbitals
Authors: Talbot Justin , Chakraborty Romit , Shen Hengyuan , Head-Gordon Martin
Published: May 2023

Free energies of association determine chemical equilibria and thus control noncovalent binding. While traditional energy decomposition analysis (EDA) methods can provide a chemically or physically interpretive decomposition of noncovalent electronic binding energies, by definition they neglect entropic effects (and nuclear contributions to the enthalpy). With the objective of revealing the chemical origins of trends in free energies of binding, we introduce the concept of a free energy or Gibbs decomposition analysis (GDA), by coupling the absolutely localized molecular orbital (ALMO) treatment of electrons in non-covalent interactions with the simplest possible quantum treatment of nuclear motion at finite temperature, which is the rigid rotor-harmonic oscillator (RR-HO) model. The resulting pilot GDA is employed to decompose enthalpic and entropic contributions to the free energy of association of the water dimer, fluoride-water dimer, and the binding of water to an open metal site in a recently synthesized metal-organic framework (Cu(I)-MFU-4l). The results show enthalpic trends that generally track the energy of binding (i.e. EDA results), and entropic trends that reveal the increasing price of loss of translational and rotational degrees freedom with temperature. The GDA approach can be generalized to more sophisticated treatment of quantum nuclei, as well as to semiclassical or classical nuclear motion.

Here, we combined unsupervised machine learning (ML), non-natural amino acids, and affinity-selection mass-spectrometry (AS-MS) for the discovery of ultra-high affinity peptidomimetics that bind to a protein target. Peptides and peptidomimetics were discovered using AS-MS, encoded using diverse representations, and decomposed into two-dimensional “maps” of the chemical space by dimensionality reduction. These maps showed well-defined clusters of target-specific binders distinct from the remaining chemical space that included nonspecific and nonbinding peptides. Experimental testing of abiotic peptidomimetics confirmed the discovery of low nanomolar to picomolar binders and the accurate mapping of high-affinity binders across the co-learned sequence space. With ML and AS-MS, we anticipate this cartographic approach will accelerate the definition of chemical design spaces for the prediction and generation of functional peptidomimetics.
UHRF1 is essential for proper cytoplasmic architecture and function of mouse oocytes and derived embryos

Ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) is a protein essential for the maintenance of DNA methylation in somatic cells. However, UHRF1 is predominantly localized in the cytoplasm of mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos, where it may play a role unrelated to the nuclear function. We herein report that oocyte-specificUhrf1KO results in impaired chromosome segregation, abnormal cleavage division, and preimplantation lethality of derived embryos. Our nuclear transfer experiment showed that the phenotype is attributable to cytoplasmic rather than nuclear defects of the zygotes. A proteomic analysis of KO oocytes revealed the down-regulation of proteins associated with microtubules including tubulins, which occurred independently of transcriptomic changes. Intriguingly, cytoplasmic lattices were disorganized, and mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and components of the subcortical maternal complex were mislocalized. Thus, maternal UHRF1 regulates the proper cytoplasmic architecture and function of oocytes and preimplantation embryos, likely through a mechanism unrelated to DNA methylation.

This equation has infinite many solutions in this ring -- one for each initial condition of the corresponding Cauchy problem. These solutions can be found using classical methods of differential equation theory.

Let us suppose the coefficients of the equation and the coefficients of nonhomogeneity belong to some integral domain $K$. We are looking for a solution in the form of a formal power series with coefficients from this integral domain. The methods of classical theory do not allow us to find out whether there exists an initial condition that corresponds to the solution of the coefficients from $K$ and do not allow find this initial condition.

To solve this problem, we use the method proposed by U. Broggi. This method allows to find a formal solution of the linear nonhomogeneous differential equation in the form of some special series.

In previous articles, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution were found for a certain class of rings $K$ with a non-Archimedean valuation. If these conditions hold, the formal power series obtained using the Broggi’s method is considered. Its coefficients are the sums of series that converge in the non-Archimedean topology considered. It is shown that this series is the solution from $K[[x]]$ of our equation.

Note that this equation over a ring of formal power series can be considered as an infinite linear system of equations with respect to the coefficients of unknown formal power series.
In this article it is proved that this system can be solved by some analogue of Cramer's method, in which the determinants of infinite matrices are found as limits of some finite determinants in the non-Archimedean topology.

In this research article, a compact plus-shaped L-shaped slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed for various applications, including the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), and C-band X-band applications. The rectangular patch includes a plus-shaped slot, with an L-shaped slot cut along it, providing enhanced bandwidth and gain with multiband resonance. The radiation pattern of the proposed antenna is also better. The proposed antenna is capable of operating in four bands: (2.0 – 2.5 GHz)/2.2 GHz for GSM and WLAN applications, (3.6 – 3.9 GHz)/3.7 GHz for Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) and WiMAX applications, (6.7 -7.4 GHz)/7.1 GHz, and (9.1 – 10.8 GHz)/10 GHz for C- and X-band applications. The impedance bandwidth is 22.7%, 8.1%, 10%, and 17% for each respective frequency range. A parametric analysis of different dimensions, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), surface current distribution, and radiation pattern is presented to verify and validate the design parameters in each sections.

The transportation model is a special class of the linear programming problem. It deals with the situation in which commodity is shipped from sources to destinations. The objective is to minimize the total shipping cost while satisfying both the supply limit and the demand requirements. In this paper, a new method named ASM-method for finding an optimal solution for a transportation problem. The mostattractive feature of this method is that it requires very simple arithmetical and logical calculation. So it is very easy to understand and use.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengungkap bentuk pendampingan dan faktor pendukung serta penghambat kegiatan pendampingan perempuan korban kekerasan pada masa pandemic covid-19 yang dilakukan oleh Women Crisis Center “Yayasan Harmoni” Jombang. Teori yang digunakan adalah teori strukturasi oleh Anthony Giddens. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif deskriptif eksploratif. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Teknik analisis yang digunakan data interaktif menurut Miles dan Huberman yang terdiri atas kegiatan pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian yang didapatkan adalah Women Crisis Center “Yayasan Harmoni” Jombang memiliki prinsip dan bentuk kegiatan berupa pemberdayaan dan bantuan layanan hukum dan psikologis bagi perempuan korban kekerasan, selain itu dalam pelaksanaannya WCC Jombang juga mengalami beberapa hambatan selama pandemic berlangsung, beberapa di antaranya adalah (1) terbatasnya akses pendampingan korban, (2) merebaknya kasus KBGO, (3) Rendahnya komitmen pemerintah dalam menjamin hak perempuan korban kekerasan. Akan tetapi selain hambatan dalam kegiatan pendampingan, faktor pendukung utama yang membuat WCC Jombang tetap dapat berjalan adalah karena kualitas SDM yang mumpuni serta jaringan yang antar lembaga dengan organisasi masyarakat sipil maupun organisasi pemerintah sehingga layanan pendampingan dapat terus berjalan meskipun di era pandemic seperti saat ini. Dalam pelaksanaan pendampingan, agen sekaligus struktur WCC Jombang telah mengimplementasikan prinsip dari lembaga yakni pemberdayaan perempuan sehingga pola pikir yang dimiliki oleh para anggota lembaga maupun program kerjanya juga telah adil gender dan sesuai dengan nilai egalitarian meskipun pada praktiknya masih banyak korban memiliki pola pikir yang bertolak belakang yakni masih berpandangan patriarki sehingga menyulitkan proses pendampingan.
