Perkiraan kebutuhan energi listrik dilakukan sebagai salah satu pedoman perencanaan pengembangan industri listrik di Indonesia dalam pengambilan kebijakan perencanaan energi listrik. Dalam suatu peramalan tidak mungkin nilai yang diramalkan sempurna, akan selalu ada kesalahan- kesalahan atau error yang dipengaruhi faktor lain. Pemilihan metode yang tepat dapat meminimalisir nilai error yang dihasilkan oleh suatu metode yang digunakan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan peramalan dengan menggunakan metode time series ARIMA (Autoregresion Integrated Moving Average). Dimana seperti yang kita ketahui metode ini mengabaikan variabel bebas sehingga perkiraan hanya berpacu pada data historis data beban puncak rata-rata penyulang Batunadua pada tahun 2020 dan 2021 yang merupakan variabel tidak bebas. Sehingga hasil yang didapat dengan menggunakan metode ARIMA yang terdiri dari 3 tahapan yaitu, tahap identifikasi, tahap pengujian dan tahap penerapan, yang dimana pada penelitian ini kita mendapatkan model ARIMA terbaik yaitu (2,1,1) yang memiliki hasil peramalan berupa kenaikan beban puncak rata-rata dengan nilai MAPE yang didapatkan adalah 7,61% yang dimana masih bisa dikatakan hasilnya baik bagi hasil sebuah peramalan.

Many bacterial species can cause diseases in humans, such as the bacteria that cause diarrhea as a result of having genetic characteristics that can form pathogenic factors, which help the bacterium to produce harmful effects in the host's body. From (60) fecal samples of diarrheal cases of human, Salmonella spp.42(70%) where Salmonella typhi consist29(48.33%) isolates and Salmonella paratyphi consist13(21.67%) isolates, E. coli 10(16,66%), Enterobacter 4(6,66%) and Shigella 4(6,66%). On Congo red agar (CRA) plates, among (29) S. typhi bacterial isolates from human, all the isolates (100%) were showed biofilm formation through formation of brown colonies with a dry crystalline quality. Antibiotic susceptibility profile of Salmonella typhi. isolated from fecal sample of human were determined by using Vitek2 system, the results revealed that Salmonella typhi were100% resistant to Ticarcillin and 89.7% to Aztreonam while the rest of the antibiotics were less resistant. Selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) are green synthesized using cinnamon extract. The antibacterial activity of the cinnamic ethanolic extract and synthesized SeNPs was investigated against isolates of human source Salmonella typhi by using the agar well diffusion method and tested by using different concentrations (25,50,100 μg/mL).According to the data, cinnamon extract only produced an inhibition of 10.66 mm at the same dose of 100 mg/ml, but Se-NPs produced a good inhibition at that concentration of 14.33 mm.

Estudo de associação genômica ampla da resistência do germoplasma amphillo a Meloidogyne paranaensis
Authors:   , Gonzales Rafael Vago
Published: September 2023

O fitonematoide Meloidogyne paranaensis é uma das principais ameaças à cafeicultura. O desenvolvimento de cultivares de Coffea arabica resistentes a este patógeno é uma demanda urgente dos programas de melhoramento genético do cafeeiro. Progênies derivadas do germoplasma silvestre ‘Amphillo’ são consideradas potenciais fontes de resistência a M. paranaensis, porém, os mecanismos envolvidos nesta resistência ainda não foram elucidados. No presente trabalho, a resistência de diferentes progênies derivadas de Amphillo foi estudada e foram identificados marcadores moleculares associados a resistência. Por meio da Associação Genômica Ampla foram identificados marcadores SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) associados a genes potencialmente envolvidos no controle da resistência. Foram analisados 158 genótipos pertencentes a quatro progênies derivadas de cruzamentos entre germoplasma ‘Amphillo’ e linhagens da cultivar Catuaí Vermelho. Estes cafeeiros foram fenotipados para cinco caracteres relacionados à resistência, sendo eles as variáveis nota, número de ovos por grama de raiz, fator de reprodução e tipo de reação ao nematoide. Foram genotipados 7116 marcadores SNPs e após filtragens de qualidade foram selecionados 931 SNPs para condução do estudo de associação genômica ampla. Por meio do modelo linear misto foram identificados 12 SNPs com associações significativas com ao menos uma das variáveis avaliadas. Foram mapeados 18 genes sendo considerados aqueles nos quais os SNPs estão inseridos e os genes imediatamente mais próximos nos sentidos upstream e downstream. Os resultados obtidos fornecem subsídio para o desenvolvimento de marcadores para seleção assistida, para estudos sobre a herança genética e para elucidação de mecanismos moleculares envolvidos na resistência de C. arabica a M. paranaensis. Palavras-chave: Fitonematóide. Arquitetura Genética. Meloidogyne paranaensis.
Domínios da proteína antiviral WWP1: formação de corpos nucleares e interação com proteínas pro-virais
Authors:   , Breves Sâmera de Souza
Published: September 2023

A proteína WW domain-containing protein (AtWWP1) possui 463 aminoácidos e contém dois domínios de triptofano conservados que reconhecem motivos ricos em prolina (PRM) e sítios de serina/treonina-prolina fosforilados. AtWWP1 atua como proteína antiviral promovendo a translocação da proteína pro-viral citoplasmática NSP- interacting GTPase (NIG) para corpos nucleares, diminuindo o processo infeccioso contra begomovirus. A rede de interações proteína-proteína de Arabidopsis thaliana ligada ao hub imune da proteína COP9 signalosome complex subunit 5 (CSN5A) revelou que, além de NIG, AtWWP1 também se conecta com Methyl CpG binding domain 2 protein (AtMBD2), uma proteína capaz de reconhecer regiões metiladas das ilhas CpG. A proteína formadora de corpos nucleares, designada ciclina dependente de quinase 2 (CDKC2), também foi co-localizada com AtWWP1 nos corpos nucleares. Sabendo que CDKC2 fosforila a porção C-terminal (CTD) da RNA polimerase II e AtMBD2 está associado a fatores de repressão transcricional e desmetilação do DNA, levantou-se a hipótese de que os corpos nucleares formadores de AtWWP1 são transcricionalmente ativos. Para identificar como a proteína AtWWP1 interage com as proteínas CDKC2 e AtMBD2, ensaios in vitro e in planta de proteínas mutantes e truncadas de AtWWP1 foram realizados, concluindo que AtWWP1 interage com CDKC2, em leveduras, via seus domínios de triptofano conservados e com AtMBD2 via porção C-terminal in vitro e in vivo. Estudos funcionais da proteína AtMBD2 sugerem seu envolvimento no processo de infecção contra begomovirus. Inicialmente foi demonstrado que, além de participar do hub imune de CSN5A, AtMBD2 é induzida por infecção com Cabbage leaf curl virus (CabLCV) similarmente a AtWWP1 e NIG. Além disso, foi demonstrado que a superexpressão de AtMBD2 aumentou a suscetibilidade ao vírus, enquanto inativação de AtMBD2 no nocaute mbd2 – Salk 069448 diminuiu significativamente o acúmulo do DNA viral comparado com as linhagens controle, Col-0. Estes resultados indicam que AtMBD2 participa do processo de infecção viral e exibe atividade pró-viral. Como NIG, AtMBD2 não forma corpos nucleares mas é redirecionada para corpos nucleares quando expressa com AtWWP1, confirmando a atividade imune intrínseca dos corpos nucleares derivados de AtWWP1.

The Struggle of the Great Powers between Maintaining Hegemony and Recreation of a New World Order from the Lens of the Balance of Power Theory
Authors:   International Relations Researcher, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Slimia Awad
Published: September 2023

Balance of power is a crucial concept in international relations, driving decision-makers to confront US unilateralism. However, President Xi sees President Putin as the master key to the erosion of the Western-centric world order; therefore, the strategic partnership between Russia and China is not an emergency partnership; Mutual cooperation is constructed based on the leaders’ convictions and joint activities allow them to reset the balance of power as well as, form a new multipolar world order centered on the UN’s true purposes and principles. Yet, it seems the founding myth of emerging economies has faded and the BRICS countries’ are experiencing their geopolitical moment; the group attempting to establish themselves as a representative of the global South and as an alternative to existing West financial and political institutions.
A magyar kkv-szektor térbeli szerkezetének vizsgálata irányított statisztikai eszközök segítségével
Authors: Vakhal Péter
Published: September 2023

Telephelyválasztásuk során a hazai kis- és középvállalkozások sokkal nagyobb súllyal veszik figyelembe a lokális tényezőket, mint a nagyvállalatok. A tanulmány azt vizsgálta, hogy a hazai kkv-térszerkezet megragadható-e az égtájak szerinti eloszlással. A témával foglalkozó hazai tanulmányok elsősorban gravitációs modellt alkalmaznak, ami azonban leggyakrabban csak egy erővektort képes megjeleníteni, holott a vektorok száma végtelen, csupán az erő mértéke változik. Ahhoz, hogy az összes irány megjeleníthető legyen, a hazai közgazdasági szakirodalomban kevésbé ismert körkörös statisztikai eszköztárt alkalmaztuk, és a magyar kkv-k pénzügyi adatait elemeztük. Ezzel a módszerrel a hazai gazdasági térszerkezet olyan új vetületét lehet megjeleníteni, ami más metódussal nem lehetséges, így új elemzési lehetőségek tárulnak fel. Az eredmények szerint az ország középpontjából kiindulva a kkv-térszerkezetben inkább az észak–dél ellenpólus dominál, mintsem a kelet–nyugati, ahogy arra több hazai térszerkezeti kutató is utal. Mindez azzal magyarázható, hogy az ország középpontjából figyelve a főváros északnyugati irányú koncentrációt eredményez, ami a legtöbb kkv-szegmensben érvényesül. A körkörös eloszlások északi dominanciája akkor is érvényre jut, ha Budapestet eltávolítjuk a mintából, ami tovább erősíti az észak–dél polarizáció jelenségét. Ez a konfiguráció csak néhány ágazat esetén módosul, például a szálláshely-szolgáltatások esetén, ahol konkrét földrajzi szempontok érvényesülnek a székhelyválasztásban.
Is Reductive Materialism a Defensible Philosophy of Mind?
Authors: Samitharathana Rev Wadigala
Published: September 2023

Over the past decades, reductive materialism has made a recipe for philosophy of mind to explore the subtle nature of the human mind. By and large, many identity theorists were likely to argue that mental states can be found in cognitive faculties of the brain so that the mind, if not most, associates with discoverable phenomena with no burden of proof. To put this bluntly, reductive materialism is typically defined by its very nature: all mental states are neurological states of the brain; ergo, it is implausible to make room for the substance dualism thereto.
In response to this naturalist stance, aka reductive materialism, this article, thereby, contends that reductive materialism cannot be placed in a defensible position in philosophy of mind vis-à-vis the Kripkean modality; accordingly, this brief survey has identified several barnstorming findings in support of the thesis: the necessity and contingency, the core plank of possibility, rigid and non-rigid designators, and conceivability and possibility.
In spite of its limitations, the study certainly adds to our understanding of the so-called reductive materialism in philosophy of mind. Nevertheless, a full discussion of naturalism lies beyond the scope of this study. Further work is, therefore, needed to fully digest the implications of reductive materialism and Kripke’s modal argument.
FAMILY CRISIS CAUSED BY MIGRATION
Authors: MOTRIUC Cosmina-Ioana
Published: September 2023

The migration phenomenon represents a current social issue. Often, migration is motivated by the desire for a better life, and the effects experienced by children affect most areas of reference: behavioural, social, emotional, and educational. Going abroad involves sacrifices both from the children's perspective and from that of their parents, and the crisis is felt by each family member individually, in a different way. In the absence of the departing parent, especially if they are the sole provider, the child feels abandoned and seeks attention through atypical behaviour, such as a strong cry for help. In this article, I have tried to detail how children left behind in the country perceive their parents' departure for work abroad, what are their adaptation methods, alongside the strategies parents use to support their children from afar. The exploratory research, undertaken within a master's thesis, may represent a starting point for further research on the proposed topic.
The Use of Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement in Social Media Communication Among Nigerian Speakers of English
Authors: Seriki Josephine Eleanor , Chahur A. A.
Published: September 2023

Investigation has shown that a good number of Nigerian users of social media communicate without paying attention to the appropriate usages, and this is the concern of this paper. The study aims to examine specifically those instances where such speakers of English break the rules of pronoun-antecedent agreement in English, irrespective of whether they lack the linguistic knowledge or do that out of negligence. The research is based on the theory of Competence and Performance as introduced by the American linguist, Noam Chomsky. The data was gathered within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The survey research design has been chosen as part of data collection procedure. Six groups or sets of Facebook postings are considered based on the six local councils that constitute the FCT administration. These are: Abaji, Abuja, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje, and Kwali area councils. In each of them, five (5) posts have been selected to bring out a total number of thirty (30). The posts were collected using an Android phone. In taking note of the various posts from the concerned individuals, a pen and an exercise book were readily available for the making of notes on the concord errors for subsequent analysis. And each set of the 5 is presented in a separate table. The findings as analysed show the extent to which pronoun-antecedent errors are made by second language speakers of the English language.
Community Participation in the Delivery of Municipal Council Services in Zambia – A Case Study of Choma District
Authors: Chisanga Arthur , Siwale Aaron Wiza , Simbeye Tinkler Saul , Daka Steven
Published: September 2023

This study sought to explore the nature and extent of community participation in the service delivery by Choma Municipal Council, focusing on the role of community involvement in enhancing local authority services. A mixed method research design, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, was used to investigate the perspectives and experiences of both community members and key informants. The findings show that community members are involved in planning and decision-making processes (70.3%) and implementation (23.4%), with limited engagement in the evaluation process. Legal and policy frameworks, including the Zambia National Decentralization Policy and local by-laws, support community participation. However, 89.8% of respondents feel that these frameworks are insufficient. The study reveals that community participation positively impacts service delivery, aiding local councils in understanding community needs and fostering effective feedback mechanisms. Factors hindering community participation include lack of knowledge and opportunities, lack of interest, and inadequate funding. Recommendations for enhancing community participation include supporting active representation of community members, capacity building for community leaders, promoting transparency and accountability, fostering partnerships with NGOs and civil society organizations, and utilizing radio programs for community sensitization and engagement.

Published: September 2023

The article presents an approbation of the GERT-network analysis of the probabilistic-temporal characteristics of the transport-technological cycles of unmanned aerial vehicles, which was carried out during the design and implementation of a software support complex for algorithms for calculating the microprocessor performance of a swarm of drones. A graphical statement of the problem is presented in the form of a stochastic process diagram and an equivalent GERT network. Based on the topological Mason equation for closed flow graphs, the probability of successful completion of the network, the mathematical expectation and the standard deviation are calculated. A graphical representation of the dependence of the probability of successful completion of the process on the number of multiversions demonstrates the effectiveness of the multiversion approach for a fault-tolerant complex of software support for algorithms for calculating the microprocessor performance of a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles.
On the issue of assessing the productivity of spraying agricultural crops with unmanned aerial vehicles

The article discusses the issue of assessing the performance of spraying agricultural crops with unmanned aerial vehicles. UAV performance calculation model is proposed based on the time structure of the crop spraying process, including spraying, replenishment and flight times. It is noted that in order to calculate the theoretical productivity, it is necessary to establish the lengths of the areas to be sprayed using a UAV. It has been shown that the performance of various types of plant protection UAVs increases with increasing site length. There is a recommended span length and number of configurable models for different UAV application approaches. The proposed approach can significantly help agricultural enterprises using UAVs for spraying plants, optimize the structure of the equipment used, and provide methods for assessing the efficiency of UAV operation. Based on the proposed assessment, recommendations are formed for the selection of UAVs for spraying agricultural crops and a basis is created for planning transport and technological cycles of UAVs in precision agriculture.

The article considers the issue of ensuring the reliability of cylindrical joints with a key, which have become most widespread in agricultural machinery, as well as the calculation of a tight fit for the gearbox N090.20.000 JSC "Mosselmash". Reliability is one of the main factors that is provided not only by labor and energy costs, but also by the operation of machines and aggregates. In chain gears, the relative immobility of the surfaces is provided by a key, and landings according to regulatory and technical documentation are used with a gap or transitional. This ensures ease of assembly and disassembly in the field, if necessary, but does not set a guaranteed margin of operability, which leads to rapid wear of the cylindrical connection with the key, the reliability of which is ensured by dimensional tolerances and their relative position relative to each other, as well as deviations in shape and location of surfaces. Using the basic provisions of the theory of accuracy and interchangeability of parts and joints, as well as elements of the theory of resistance of materials, it was possible to carry out calculations for the gearbox H090.20.000, which is used in potato harvesters, and to obtain a tight fit that will increase the durability of the connection and transmit a given torque not only through the key, but also the surface of the cylindrical connections.

Published: September 2023

The two-dimensional mathematical model ofwater-based hybrid nanofluid, where the nanoparticles of the model are alumina (Al2O3) and copper (Cu) is analyzed in this article. It describes the heat and mass transfer which are induced by concentration and temperature differences, respectively. The current mathematical model extended the works by implementing both directions of moving sheet in the boundary conditions: stretching and shrinking, and use the exponential variations of the sheet velocity, temperature, and concentration of the hybrid nanofluid at the sheet. The final numerical solutions can be obtained by implementing Matlab bvp4c, which involves the step of choosing the most reliable solution in an actual fluid situation. This selection technique on numerical solutions is known as stability analysis and only needs to apply when more than one numerical solution appears in the Matlab bvp4c program. Finally, the controlling parameters such as nanoparticle solid volume fraction, suction, shrinking/stretching, Soret and Dufour cause an increment or decrement in the flow, heat and mass transfer in the hybrid nanofluid. For the stable solution, fluid velocity becomes slower whereas temperature and concentration of the fluid increase when the percentage of Cu, as well as Al2O3, rises into the water. Moreover, in case of local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number it is proved that Soret effect is the opposite phenomenon of Dufour effect.

Published: September 2023

In this manuscript, we examine the existence and the stability of solutions to the boundary value problem of Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations of variable order. The obtained new results are based on the fixed point theorem of Darbo and Kuratowski’s metric of noncompactness (MNK) with the help of piece-wise constant functions. In addition, the derived fundamental results are proven suitable because they satisfy the Ulam-Hyers Rassias stability sufficient conditions. Several numerical examples were discussed too to demonstrate the reasonableness and effectiveness of the observed results.

Published: September 2023

The boundary and initial conditions that are related to the retarded and neutral delay differential equations, respectively, will be resolved in this work by using the previous direct multistep method. This method solves retarded and neutral delay differential equations directly by implementing the proposed method without converting it to a first-order system. For boundary value problems, the shooting strategy incorporated with the Newton method is utilized to predict the guessing value. The initial value problem for neutral delay differential equations on the other hand is resolved directly with special attention to the differential part of the problem. Several numerical examples are investigated to observe the capability of the developed strategies and methods for solving retarded delay differential equations with boundary value problems and neutral delay differential equations with initial value problems.

Analogical reasoning plays a crucial part in problem-solving since it requires students to connect prior knowledge with the issues at hand in learning mathematics. However, students struggle when developing solutions to the issues utilizing analogies even if there is a connection between mathematical creativity and analogical reasoning. The aims of this study were to assess students' use of Ruppert's phases to solve problems and identify students' analogy patterns to solve target problems. This study is qualitative in nature. Of 19 research participants, six were then chosen using the purposive sampling technique based on their levels of mathematical creative ability. Test, interview, and documentation were the data gathering techniques used in this study. The study's findings suggested that good analogical reasoning skills did not serve as a prerequisite for students with strong mathematical creative thinking skills. Only one subject out of three who possessed necessary mathematical creative thinking abilities could go through the four steps of analogical reasoning-structuring, mapping, applying, and verifying. All other subjects were unable to complete the four steps of analogy, and even their creative thinking skills were weak. This was because the students did not comprehend the idea and could not connect prior knowledge with the issues at hand. In order to remind students of their prior knowledge and experiences, it would therefore be necessary at this analogy stage to establish an initial stage before structuring. The format and degree of difficulty of the questions were assumed to be other elements that might influence students' responses. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for further research, namely increasing analogical reasoning optimally as an effort to increase students' prior knowledge and students' mathematical creative thinking abilities in solving mathematical problems.

Authors: Karagöl Aynur
Published: September 2023

Yapay bir üretim olarak tasarım, insan zihninin bir ürünü olarak doğmuştur. İnsan ise tasarım yaparken çevresiyle etkileşim halindedir. Bu sebeple her teknolojik ürün, gerçek dünyadan izler taşımaktadır. Makineleşmenin artışı ile üretilen araçların fonksiyonlarını kullanıcılara kolay biçimde iletmek için çeşitli fonksiyonların anlatılması gerekmektedir. Özellikle soyut kavramları somut maddi gerçeklere dönüştürürken insan zihninin geçmiş kodlarının etkin olduğu görülmektedir. Tasarım ile zihindeki soyut amaçları somutlaştırmada metafor kullanımı kıyaslamaya, anlatmaya yarar ve görselliği zenginleştirir. Metafor ile bazen çok sözle anlatılabilecek bir içeriği bir görselle kullanıcıya iletmek mümkün olabilir. 19. yy’da dijitalleşmenin getirdiği iki boyutlu ekranlar, arayüz tasarımını doğurmuştur. Arayüz tasarımları da etkileşimi sağlayan buton (düğme) tasarımını meydana getirmiştir. Buton, arayüzde etkileşimin en pratik ve akılda kalıcı öğesi haline gelmiştir. Ekran tasarımlarında kullanılan buton tasarımları, makineleşmede kullanılan düğmelerin yansımalarıdır. İşlevi bakımından butonlar, toplum hafızasında belirli bir yer bulmaktadır. Bir grafik tasarım ürünü olarak buton tasarımları bilgisayar ekranlarında 1990’lı yıllarda parlak ve yazı kullanımı ile başlamıştır. Bilgisayar teknolojilerinin gelişim ile ekranlarda grafik etkilerin payı kullanıcı lehine artmıştır. Böylece, butonlar amaçlarına göre görsel olarak zenginleşmiştir. Birer simge tasarımı ürününe dönüşen buton, metaforlar ile görsel olarak somutlaşmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı metafor ve tasarım ilişkisinde simgeleşen nesneler ve anlamlarının bilgisayar arayüzünde kullanılan butonlar üzerinden değerlendirmektir. Nitelik veri analizi ile görsel ve kavram ilişkisi üzerine literatür araştırması, imgeden simgenin oluşturulmasında metafor kullanımı üzerinden gerçekleştirilmiştir. Konu buton tasarımı örnekleriyle açıklanmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamını dünyada en çok kullanılan ikinci işletim sistemi olan Mac-OS yazılımının kullanıcı arayüz tasarımında bulunan beş buton tasarımı oluşturmaktadır. Buton tasarımları kullanım amacı, görsel ve anlam ilişkisi, metafor kullanımı açısından incelenmiştir. Buna göre birer simge tasarımı örneği olarak butonların görselleştirilmesinde çeşitli imgeler metaforik olarak simgeleşmektedir.
