Published: January 2023

Cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) following hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation (HCT) for a primary immunodeficiency is a rare but
highly morbid condition with potential irreversible consequences despite
optimal antiviral pharmacotherapy. Viral-specific T cells (VSTs) pose a
promising and safe approach eradicating intractable viral disease. We
describe the case of a 21-month-old male with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
(WAS) and CMVR post-HCT with sustained long-term virologic and clinical
response after CMV-specific T cell therapy. This case highlights the
need to consider VSTs as an adjunct upfront strategy in refractory CMVR
and for routine ophthalmologic screening and surveillance in high-risk
patients post-HCT.
FRACTIONAL-ORDER VARIABLE STRUCTURE EQUATIONS IN ROBUST CONTROL
Authors: Abbaszadeh-Soorami Ebrahim , Haddad-Zarif Mohammad
Published: January 2023

A robust method of soft variable structure control for fractional-order
systems is proposed to achieve a faster response in the presence of
model uncertainties and external disturbances. In the proposed system
the control signal is continuous and constrained. Our proposed method,
through the pole placement algorithm, by designing proper polynomials,
and applying a simple optimization routine, leads the system to the
robust and desired character within the framework of the stability
region. The sufficient condition of stability of the control system is
developed based on the stability theory of fractional order linear
differential equations, and attributes of the Mittag-Leffler function.
Finally, numerical simulations and examples are presented to show the
efficiency of the proposed method.

ReInstancer: An Automatic Refactoring Approach for Instancerof Pattern Matching
Authors: Zhang Yang , CLE AR TI
Published: January 2023

The extit{instanceof} pattern matching is periodically previewed in
the latest published JDK by removing the redundant casting and
optimizing its usage in different scenarios, which improves the code
quality and readability. However, the existing integrated development
environment (IDE) does not provide sufficient support for refactoring of
extit{instanceof} pattern matching in all situations. This paper first
identifies several cases that cannot be handled by existing IDEs, and
then proposes a novel approach called extit{ReInstancer} to refactor
extit{instanceof} pattern matching automatically. extit{ReInstancer}
conducts visitor pattern analysis for extit{if} statement blocks with
extit{instanceof}. For the extit{instanceof} expression, a pattern
variable is obtained after removing the redundant type casting by
pattern analysis. For multi-branch statements, extit{ReInstancer}
employs class hierarchy analysis and control flow analysis to infer the
relationship of instance type in each branch and then optimize these
branches. Finally, the multi-branch statements are converted into switch
statements or switch expressions. extit{ReInstancer} is evaluated with
20 real-world applications. The experimental results demonstrate a total
of 3558 extit{instanceof} expressions and 228 multi-branch statements
applying the refactoring, and each application takes an average of
10.8s. extit{ReInstancer} not only reduces the redundant type casting
but also improves the code quality.

Authors: Canedo Edna Dias , Cançado Emille Catarine Rodrigues , Mota Alana Paula Barbosa , Bandeira Ian Nery , Costa Pedro Henrique Teixeira , Lima Fernanda , Amaral Luis , Bonifácio Rodrigo
Published: January 2023

Context/motivation: Design Thinking techniques have been widely
used in software requirements elicitation to understand the necessities
of stakeholders and end-users. However, there is a lack of evidence of
their effectiveness when applied to vulnerable populations.
Question/problem: What are the implications of using Design
Thinking techniques to elicit requirements in a community of former
inmates - and what would be the benefits of and challenges in this
deployment? Principal ideas/results: In this paper, we report our
experience of using Design Thinking for Requirements Elicitation of a
mobile application, customized for the former inmates of the Brazilian
Prison System and their families. Research methods: We applied
techniques such as Brainstorming, Stakeholder Mapping, Personas
Creation, Rapid Ethnography, and Interviews to obtain relevant data and
create several prototypes. Contribution: These techniques
contribute to the development of an uncommon application that aims to
help the reintegration process of former inmates into society. Our
results validate the initial hypothesis that such techniques, when
applied to a sensitive context, assist product development that meets
the end-users needs by creating a higher-quality product.
Limitations: The main limitation of the research was the lack of
access to low-literacy end-users and former inmates without previous
experience using mobile devices.
Minimum-Radius Criterion for a Zonotopic State Estimator based on Degrees of Freedom
Authors: Paula Alesi Augusto de , Raffo Guilherme , Teixeira Bruno
Published: January 2023

This paper proposes a new cost criterion to enhance the precision of a
zonotopic state estimator for discrete-time descriptor linear systems.
Originally, the algorithm solves a minimum-trace problem involving
zonotopes, whose evolution is given by an interval observer structure
containing extra design matrices, called degrees of freedom. Although
the minimization of trace yields explicit solutions, it does not
necessarily imply minimization of volume, and thereby, the precision of
the output zonotope cannot be improved effectively. The volume measure
for zonotopes is computationally expensive and, when used as cost
criterion, implies nonlinear optimization problems. Motivated by such
issues, we here propose a minimum-radius criterion where the smallest
box enclosing the output zonotope is minimized. The resulting
optimization problem is nonlinear, but its convexity is exploited to
yield an equivalent linear program. The effectiveness of our approach is
illustrated over two numerical examples.
Use of Aspirin in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention -- The Role of Online Information Search
Authors: Zhu Jingrong , Cui Yi
Published: January 2023

Objective: Low-dose aspirin is widely used in the preventions
of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Given the differential aspirin use
recommendations for primary and secondary prevention according to the
most recent guidelines, this study intend to exam influences of online
information search on the use of aspirin in CVD prevention among the
applicable adult population in the U.S. Methods: We used data
of the 2018 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Our study sample is
limited to adults age 40 or older to consistent with the AHA/ACCF
guidelines for aspirin use. Results: Our results show that the
use of aspirin for CVD prevention was associated with online health
information seeking in different ways. When patients received doctors’
advice to use aspirin, online information seeking have a negative
influence, depending on whether the individual has CVD risk factors.
However, for patients without recommendations from providers, the
effects of online information seeking on self-initiated aspirin use
depend on the different types of preventions (primary vs. secondary) and
CVD risk factors. Conclusion: Overall, online health
information might lead to both overuse and underuse of aspirin in CVD
preventions. Findings in this study raise concerns, and resonate with
other studies that found inconsistency between different information
sources used by consumers, which may lead to decision making that is not
consistent with advice from health care professionals and/or established
clinical guidelines.

Published: January 2023

This study investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of DOC
concentration in a Mediterranean headwater catchment (Turbolo River
catchment, southern Italy) equipped with two multi-parameter sondes
providing more than two-year (May 2019 to November 2021) continuous
high-frequency measurements of several DOC-related parameters. The
sondes were installed in two nested sections, a quasi-pristine upstream
sub-catchment and a downstream outlet with some anthropogenic
disturbances on water quality. DOC estimates were achieved by correcting
the fluorescent dissolved organic matter - fDOM - values through an
original procedure not requiring extensive laboratory measurements.
Then, DOC dynamics at the seasonal and storm event scales were analyzed.
At the seasonal scale, results confirmed the climate control on DOC
production, with increasing background concentrations in hot and dry
summer months. The hydrological regulation proved crucial for DOC
mobilization and export, with the top 10th percentile of discharge
associated with up to 79% of the total DOC yield. The analysis at the
storm scale using flushing and hysteresis indices highlighted
substantial differences between the two catchments. In the steeper
upstream catchment, the limited capability of preserving hydraulic
connection in time with DOC sources determined the prevalence of
transport as the limiting factor to DOC export. Downstream, transport-
and source-limited processes were observed almost equally. The
correlation between the hysteretic behaviour and antecedent
precipitation was not linear since the process reverted to
transport-limited for high accumulated rainfall values. The study
demonstrated the importance of high-resolution measurements to explain
DOC dynamics at multiple time scales using a quantitative approach.
Methane producing and reducing microorganisms display a high resilience to drought in a Swedish hemi-boreal mire
Authors: White Joel Dawson , Ahrén Dag , Ström Lena , Kelly Julia , Klemedtsson Leif , Keane Ben , Parmentier Frans-Jan W.
Published: January 2023

An increased frequency of droughts due to anthropogenic climate change
can lead to considerable stress for soil microorganisms and their
functioning within northern peatlands. A better understanding of the
diversity and abundance of methane producing and reducing taxa, and
their functional genes, can help predict the functional potential of
peatlands and how the microorganisms respond to disturbances such as
drought. In order to address knowledge gaps in the understanding of how
functional genetic diversity shifts under drought conditions, we
investigated a hemi boreal mire in Southern Sweden. Environmental
parameters, including soil and air temperature, precipitation and water
table depth, as well as methane flux data were collected during the
summer of 2017 under typical growing conditions, and in 2018 during a
drought. In addition, the diversity and composition of genes encoding
for methane metabolism were determined using the captured metagenomics
technique. During drought we observed a substantial increase in air and
soil temperature, reduced precipitation, and a lower water table depth.
Taxonomic and functional gene composition significantly changed during
the drought, while diversity indices, such as alpha and beta diversity,
remained similar. These results indicate that methane producing and
reducing microbial communities, and their functional genes, displayed a
resilience to drought with specific genera having the ability to
outcompete others under stress. Furthermore, our results show that
although methane emissions are substantially reduced during drought, we
can expect to see a shift towards more resilient methanogens and
methanotrophs under future climate conditions.
A discontinuous Galerkin level set formulation applied to the modelling of deformation patterns in multi-material viscous geological flow
Authors: Wu Qihang , Lin Shoufa , Unger Andre
Published: January 2023

We formulate a numerical framework to model the structural patterns
emerged from the long-term highly viscous tectonic flow for both two and
three spatial dimensions by coupling the discontinuous Galerkin level
set method with a finite element Stokes-like flow solver. Our
formulation, implemented with adaptive mesh refinement near the material
interface, allows for accurate interface capturing and automatic
handling of topological splitting and merging. Compared to
particle-in-cell family of methods, the level set formulation has the
advantage of retaining information on the interface geometry, less
memory requirement and the savings of computational expense on the
two-way particle-mesh information transfer. Furthermore, our formulation
discretizes the level set in the same finite element framework as the
flow solver, thus enabling us to fully exploit the advantages of the
finite element method such as the flexibility of mesh geometry and the
ease of handling anisotropic materials. In order to track the finite
deformation in the modelling domain, passive tracer particles are
generated at and around locations of interest, whose deformation can be
accumulated through arbitrary time interval within the total modelled
time span, thus offering a fully dynamical approach for modelling
non-steady and inhomogeneous structural patterns. The material
distribution and the finite deformation pattern generated from the
numerical model can be directly compared with the geological map
patterns and the field structural analyses, thus offering the
possibility of ground-truthing the modelling results by field evidence.
Sustainability of the Cybersecurity and Climate: A Review of the Interconnectivity
Authors:   Canadian Center for Climate Change and Adaptation University of Prince Edward Island Prince Edward Island, Canada, Adekamnbi Toyin Omoriyeba
Published: January 2023

Climate change is a global issue common to the whole world regardless of continent, nationality, tribe, sex, or age. The temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect as the greenhouse-gas emissions in the atmosphere are increasing. The average global temperature is increasing continuously and is predicted to rise by 2oC until 2100, which would cause substantial economic losses at the global level. Cybersecurity is likewise a global issue common to everyone, just as climate change and its interaction with the physical world phenomena (e.g., weather, climate, water, and oceans) is mostly not found in modern information technology systems. The ability to relate the current climate change impact with the latest cybersecurity scenario, calls for scrutinization and making necessary recommendations. Many aspects of the cyber-security system are not known to relate to climate change and are highly fragmented. The connection between the cybersecurity system and climate change needs to be studied through a multidisciplinary approach to recommend the best way to manage these systems for sustainability, thus making both cyber laws, climate laws, and policy more effective to address any impacts they might pose to humanity. This report presents the relationships between climate change and cybersecurity while identifying their positive and negative impacts, as well as recommending ways to mitigate the impacts.

Transcendental Legal Principles in Restorative Justice A Review of Critical Legal Theory Studies
Authors: Saputra Andy Hermana
Published: January 2023

It is time for Critical Legal Studies as a critical thought to be used to criticize the application of law in Indonesia. This criticism is very useful to build Indonesia which is in a transitional period as it is today from the forces that try to dominate both from our own country and abroad (international capitalist powers) and this is very dangerous. The criticality of Critical Legal Studies which is behind the emergence of a reform of the social reality and legal system that already exists in Indonesia, and its commitment to develop it as a legal theory and give birth to an innovation in the Indonesian judicial system with the application of Restorative Justice in state law enforcement institutions.Thoughts in modern science which have been in the corridor of modernist-positivistic hegemony with empirical, objectivist, and rational doctrines have begun to be challenged by transcendentalists. Transcendental thinking is seen more in religious, spiritual, ethical, and moral values.Restorative justice is an approach that aims to build a judicial system that is sensitive to legalissues, restorative justice is a form of criticism of the criminal justice system in Indonesia today which tends to lead to retributive goals, namely emphasizing justice in retaliation. Restorative justice is one of the spiritual intelligences (Spiritual quotient) for humans according to transcendental law because it is able to build new perspectives and horizons in the life of the criminal justice system in Indonesia that revenge is not the only final goal to achieve justice, that there is a role for victims to participate in determining thought process. Restorative Justice is a human spiritual intelligence capable of building humans to be more creative and able to overcome essential problems.Keywords: Transcendental Principles, Restorative Justice, Critical Legal Theory Studies
Muhammadiyah Perspective Constitutional Jihad Paradigm (Case Study of Muhammadiyah’s Request Against Law Number 7 of 2004 Concerning Water Resources)
Authors: Khakim Ahmad Zia
Published: January 2023

The Constitutional Court (MK) granted the petition for judicial review of Law Number 7 of 2004 concerning Water Resources (UU SDA) which was submitted by the Central Executive (PP) of Muhammadiyah. Testing the application for the Natural Resources Law is a strategy to fight for the weak (mustad’afin) according to the basic principles of Islam. Thus, this test argument is also based on the benefits of ecology and nature contained in Islamic law. The review of the Natural Resources Law can also be seen as an effort to examine the similarities between the principles of Islamic law and the 1945 Constitution. The research method uses a socio-legal judicial review approach, by reviewing the decision in the application for Law No. 7 of 2004 concerning Water Resources. against the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia with Decision Number 85/PUU-XI/2013. This research is normative based on primary data, namely decision 85/PUU-XI/2013 with bibliographical data and uses a statute approach. This conclusion makes it very clear that Muhammadiyah has taken a Judicial Review step against the Natural Resources Law which is contrary to the 1945 Constitution. This shows that Muhammadiyah has built a constitutional jihad as a concrete ijtihad in an effort to straighten environmental law enforcement which the state should do in accordance with Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution.Keywords: Muhammadiyah, Judicial Review, Natural Resources Law

Published: January 2023

Malaysia and Indonesia are countries in Southeast Asia which are experiencing quite rapid developments related to Islamic banking. However, behind the success of Islamic banking, in its application and implementation, each country has different interpretations. The study in this paper tries to carry out a comparative analysis of Murabahah, Mudharabah and Musyarakah agreements in two countries, namely Malaysia and Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The results of the study show that there are differences in interpretation in the implementation of the three agreements. In Malaysia, Murabahah agreements are implemented in three ways, namely Bai Al Inah, Bay Al Dayn and bay Bitthaman Ajjil while in indonesia bai’ li al-amri bi al-syira’ and Bai Al-Dayn. Mudharabah in Malaysia uses two namely Mudharabah Mutlaqah is a agreement whereby rabbul mal permits the mudarib to manage the mudharabah capital without any special restrictions and Mudharabah Muqayyadah is an agreemt whereby rabbul mal imposes special restrictions on the terms of the mudharabah. While in Indonesia using mudharabah agreements combined with murabahah and musyarakah agreements. The last is musyarakah agreement. In Malaysia, they use Syirkah al-Milk and Syirkah al-‘Aqd and use the Mutanaqishah musyarakah agreement. whereas in Indonesia it uses Syirkah amwal and is known as syirkah inan by using musyarakah and musyarakah Mutanaqishah agreements. From this research it was also found that the implementation of both countries in Malaysia and Indonesia related to murabahah, mudharabah and musyarakah agreements still contains elements of usury, gharar and maisir.Keywords: Agreement, Bank, Syariah, Indonesia, Malaysia

Digital literacy must be instilled as early as possible, even in elementary schools (SD). However, the facts on the ground show that digital literacy in elementary schools has not been implemented effectively. Some schools still encounter obstacles, one of which is caused by the limitations of digital literacy tools or media in schools. This obstacle was also experienced by the Baturan Special Program Muhammadiyah Elementary School (PK) and the Muhammadiyah Plus Elementary School Malangjiwan. Basic digital literacy skills, such as typing in Microsoft Word, have not been fully mastered by students. In fact, these skills are very important in this digital era. This community service is carried out by providing direct assistance to students to practice typing in Microsoft Word. The stages in this activity are starting from observation, pre-test, to post-test in the form of typing practice. The hands-on mentoring method allows students to learn to type and recognize the features and uses of Microsoft Word. The results of this dedication show that there has been an increase in students’ competence in understanding Microsoft Word, providing real experience for students to practice typing, and can grow good digital literacy. This activity is carried out with the hope that in the future, students who already have the initial ability to type from the results of this service, can continue to practice and the school can support it by continuing this kind of activity program through a digital literacy program on an ongoing basis.

The transition period of the online learning process from home creates an imbalance in school life and creates conditions of academic delay or procrastination among students. Based on previous research on 345 students at SMP Negeri 2 Jatisrono in February 2022, the results of student academic procrastination at the school were quite high. This community service activity aims to reduce the high level of student academic procrastination through time management training. The training was attended by 31 students at SMP Negeri 2 Jatisrono. The instrument used to measure the level of student academic procrastination is the academic procrastination scale. Measurements were carried out 2 times, namely before (pre test) and after (post test) training to determine the effectiveness of time management training in reducing the level of academic procrastination experienced by students. The results of data analysis using T-test showed a score of t = 40.83 with p = 0.000 (p <0.05), which means that there is a very significant decrease in academic procrastination after receiving time management training. In conclusion, time management training is very significantly effective in reducing academic procrastination in students at SMP Negeri 2 Jatisrono. Suggestions for further research is that this kind of training can be applied to other problems because it is able to reduce forms of negative behavior so that it can optimize learning outcomes and student achievement.
