Financial inclusion is one of the indicators used in knowing the development of the financial system in a country. Financial Technology can be used in overcoming the problem of financial inclusion because it can create access to financial services easily and improve the system to be more efficient in addition to the financial technology that develops in people's lives that encourages a cashless society, namely by creating electronic money innovations contained in an application platform called e-wallet. ShopeePay is an e-wallet that is popular among the public today. Therefore, researchers use variables of effectiveness, hedonistic, usefulness, and trust as independent variables and the interest of students of State University of Malang in using ShopeePay services as dependent variables. Researchers use variables of effectiveness, hedonistic, usefulness, and trust because according to the Technology Acceptance Model the variable is a factor that influences an individual's interest in using technology. This study used quantitative data with data collection methods in the form of questionnaires with a Linkert scale. The result of this study is that the variables of effectiveness, hedonics, and usefulness have a significant influence on the interest in using ShopeePay services. While the trust variable does not have a significant influence on the interest in using ShopeePay services

About 1-3% of children aged 0-5 years in the world experience Developmental delay. Many factors can hinder children's motor development, including nervous disorders, vestibular or balance disorders, and sensory disturbances. Apart from internal factors in the body, children's development is also influenced by environmental (social) factors. The role of parents is crucial in achieving the child's normal growth and development. PAUD Belimbing is a place for early childhood education located in Jatiroto village, Lumajang, East Java. Early childhood development detection activities have never been carried out in PAUD Belimbing. In addition, the understanding of people who know about children's growth and development is still lacking. This service has a strategy of optimizing the role of parents in supporting the success of the maximum growth and development of each child, especially PAUD Belimbing students in Jatiroto village, Lumajang, East Java. The purpose of this optimization activity is expected to increase the knowledge and skills of parents on toddler growth and development. The method used in this service activity includes counselling with IEC media (presentations and giving modules), the practice of child development assessment, discussion, and evaluation. The final result of the evaluation obtained from counselling and practice is an increase in good knowledge of child growth and development. It is expected that parents will be able to apply the knowledge in everyday life and spread this knowledge to friends, relatives, and the surrounding community.

Published: July 2022

The Nigerian power sector continues to suffer from the resource curse. With the abundance of natural and renewable energy resources, somehow the Nigerian power sector has failed to meet the energy demand. Over the years, lack of political will and inadequate investments as regards the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity have led to very costly outages. The frequent collapse of the national grid has led to use of diesel/gasoline generators as a stop gap measure for producing electricity. However, this approach significantly increases the cost of production of goods/services (especially with the Russia-Ukraine war) and pollutes the environment/ecosystem. The objective of this paper is to take and in-depth analysis of the problems of the Nigerian power sector beginning with the regulatory framework to the different actors of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry NESI (The Gas producers, The Nigerian Gas Company, The Generation Companies, The Transmission Company of Nigeria and the Distribution Companies). Our goal is to achieve a fundamental balance between the affordability, reliability and sustainability of electricity, otherwise known as the energy trilemma.

Published: July 2022

The online learning system has an impact on limited access to information. As educators in universities, we are required to be more creative in improving the quality of learning. For this reason, it is necessary to compile module that are feasible to support learning, especially economics courses on material that has experienced misconceptions. Misconception means the existence of a model of thinking, understanding or wrong ideas formed by students and contrary to theories and concepts used in economic terms. Some students do not have a correct understanding of each concept listed in economic learning, misconceptions also occur when students make a general view based on observations, lack of understanding of concepts, namely unclear and very vague, less tactful, narrow, less exposed, and there are conflicts in the meaning of language between everyday language and terms used in economics. This research uses the research and development (R&D) method with the concept of Borg and Gall. This research was conducted in the economics study program of Medan State University with a total population of all students taking economics courses in the 2021/2022 academic year. Samples are determined by purposive random sampling and sample classes are used to test individual, small group, and limited field samples To see whether or not this module is feasible is first validated by expert lecturers in economics, as well as to see whether or not this module is effective is first tested on students. This research at the same time produced a decent module, effectively having an ISBN. After all the revision notes were corrected as recommended by the validator, then this module was tested on an individual group of 3 people, a small group of 6 field groups consisting of 33 students. From the results of the effectiveness trial, it can be concluded that the average student learning outcomes by using modules are better than the learning outcomes of students who do not use modules. Hopefully this research can further motivate student learning and can also increase student learning independence.
Characteristics of Effective Dark Matter in Nonlocal Gravity
Authors: Roshan Mahmood , Mashhoon Bahram
Published: July 2022

Nonlocal gravity (NLG) is a classical nonlocal generalization of Einstein’s theory of gravitation that has been constructed in close analogy with the nonlocal electrodynamics of media. According to NLG, what appears as dark matter in astrophysics and cosmology is in reality the nonlocal aspect of the universal gravitational interaction. We focus here on two main features of the effective dark matter in NLG, namely, (a) the density of effective dark matter in NLG is always finite and therefore cusp-free, and (b) there is less effective dark matter in dwarf galaxies than is generally assumed in the standard particle dark matter paradigm. The corresponding astrophysical implications of NLG in connection with three ultra-diffuse galaxies AGC 114905, 242019, and 219533 are discussed.
New Constraints on the Spin of the Black Hole Cygnus X-1 and the Physical Properties of its Accretion Disk Corona
Authors: Krawczynski H. , Beheshtipour B.
Published: July 2022

We present a new analysis of NuSTAR and Suzaku observations of the black hole Cygnus X-1 in the intermediate state. The analysis is performed using kerrC, a new model for analyzing spectral and spectropolarimetric X-ray observations of black holes. kerrC builds on a large library of simulated black holes in X-ray binaries. The model accounts for the X-ray emission from a geometrically thin, optically thick accretion disk, the propagation of the X-rays through the curved black hole spacetime, the reflection off the accretion disk, and the Comptonization of photons in coronae of different 3D shapes and physical properties before and after the reflection. We present the results from using kerrC for the analysis of archival NuSTAR and Suzaku observations taken on 2015 May 27–28. The best wedge-shaped corona gives a better fit than the cone-shaped corona. Although we included cone-shaped coronae in the funnel regions above and below the black hole to resemble to some degree the common assumption of a compact lamppost corona hovering above and/or below the black hole, the fit chooses a very large version of this corona that makes it possible to Comptonize a sufficiently large fraction of the accretion disk photons to explain the observed power-law emission. The analysis indicates a black hole spin parameter a (−1 ≤ a ≤ 1) between 0.861 and 0.921. The kerrC model provides new insights into the radial distribution of the energy flux of returning and coronal emission irradiating the accretion disk. kerrC furthermore predicts small polarization fractions around 1% in the 2–8 keV energy range of the recently launched Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer.
Dynamically Tagged Groups of Metal-poor Stars. II. The Radial Velocity Experiment Data Release 6
Authors: Shank Derek , Komater Dante , Beers Timothy C. , Placco Vinicius M. , Huang Yang
Published: July 2022

Orbital characteristics based on Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometric parameters are analyzed for ∼8000 metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] ≤ −0.8) compiled from the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) Data Release 6. Selected as metal-poor candidates based on broadband photometry, RAVE collected moderate-resolution (R ∼ 7500) spectra in the region of the Ca triplet for these stars. About 20% of the stars in this sample also have medium-resolution (1200 ≲ R ≲ 2000) validation spectra obtained over a 4 yr campaign from 2014 to 2017 with a variety of telescopes. We match the candidate stars to photometric metallicity determinations from the Huang et al. recalibration of the SkyMapper Southern Survey Data Release 2. We obtain dynamical clusters of these stars from the orbital energy and cylindrical actions using the HDBSCAN unsupervised learning algorithm. We identify 179 dynamically tagged groups (DTGs) with between 5 and 35 members; 67 DTGs have at least 10 member stars. Milky Way (MW) substructures such as Gaia–Sausage–Enceladus, the Metal-weak Thick Disk, the Splashed Disk, Thamnos, the Helmi Stream, and LMS-1 (Wukong) are identified. Associations with MW globular clusters are determined for 10 DTGs; no recognized MW dwarf galaxies were associated with any of our DTGs. Previously identified dynamical groups are also associated with our DTGs, with emphasis placed on their structural determination and possible new identifications. We identify chemically peculiar stars as members of several DTGs; we find 22 DTGs that are associated with r-process-enhanced stars. Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars are identified among the targets with available spectroscopy, and we assign these to morphological groups following the approach given by Yoon et al.

densities measured by the Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS). In 2017, the southern hemisphere of Saturn was shadowed by its rings and the substructures within. Tracing a path of the solar photons through the ring plane to Cassini’s position, we can identify regions in the ionosphere that were shadowed by the individual ringlets and plateaus (with increased optical depths) of Saturn’s C ring. The calculated shadowed altitudes along Cassini’s trajectory line up well with the dips in the

densities. Our results agree well with values derived from stellar occultation measurements. No clear dips are visible for orbits 283 and 287, whose periapsides were at higher altitudes. This can be attributed to the much longer chemical lifetime of

at these higher altitudes, which in turn can be further used to estimate a lower limit for the flow speed along Cassini’s trajectory. The resulting estimate of ∼0.3 km s−1 at an altitude of ∼3400 km is in line with prior suggestions. Finally, the ringlet and plateau shadows are not associated with obvious dips in the electron density, which is expected due to their comparatively long chemical (recombination) lifetime.
Le pluralisme managérial en Afrique

Published: July 2022

Cette contribution met en exergue deux dimensions oubliées voire occultées de l’organisation aussi bien chez les chercheurs que chez les praticiens, particulièrement en Afrique. Ces deux dimensions sont au cœur des travaux de Kamdem. L’exploration de l’ensemble des travaux de cet auteur et des recherches empiriques récentes conduit à soutenir que les organisations en Afrique devraient nécessairement reconnaître les dimensions de l’ethnicité et de l’individu comme levier de gestion des diversités existantes dans les ressources humaines. L’ethnicité habite un individu. Ce dernier, enjeu de la diversité, est l’acteur par essence de la dynamique économique de chaque organisation.
Les pass (sanitaire et vaccinal) passent sans encombre les portes du Palais Royal
Authors: Slama Serge
Published: July 2022

Dans quatre décisions rendues entre mai 2021 et janvier 2022 à propos de la légalisation des pass sanitaire et vaccinal, le Conseil constitutionnel n’a pas suffisamment apporté de garanties ni adopté un contrôle suffisamment exigeant pour s’assurer que de tels dispositifs avec un haut potentiel liberticide et inégalitaire ne puissent s’installer dans la durée ou être inscrits dans le droit commun en dehors des périodes de catastrophe sanitaire.
Les agents pénitentiaires : des ambassadeurs de l’État de droit
Authors: Nederlandt Olivia
Published: July 2022

La loi du 23 mars 2019 concernant l’organisation des services pénitentiaires et le statut du personnel pénitentiaire est la quatrième loi pénitentiaire adoptée en Belgique. Novatrice à divers égards, elle entend renforcer la protection des droits fondamentaux des détenus en garantissant par diverses mesures la probité du personnel pénitentiaire et la continuité du service pénitentiaire. Un représentant syndical des agents pénitentiaires a introduit à l’encontre de celle-ci un recours en annulation devant la Cour constitutionnelle belge, considérant notamment que cette législation porte une atteinte disproportionnée au droit de grève des agents. La Cour constitutionnelle a, dans un arrêt n o  107/2021 du 15 juillet 2021, rejeté ce recours. La contribution propose une analyse de cette décision.
Stability analysis of Boolean networks with Markov jump disturbances and their application in apoptosis networks
Authors: Ji Hankang , Li Yuanyuan , Ding Xueying , Lu Jianquan
Published: July 2022

In this paper, the finite-time stability (FTS) of switched Boolean networks (SBNs) with Markov jump disturbances under the conditions of arbitrary switching signals is studied. By using the tool of the semi-tensor product, the equivalent linear-like form of SBNs with Markov jump disturbances is first established. Next, to facilitate investigation, we convert the addressed system into an augmented Markov jump Boolean network (MJBN), and propose the definition of the switching set reachability of MJBNs. A necessary and sufficient criterion is developed for the FTS of SBNs with Markov jump disturbances under the conditions of arbitrary switching signals. Finally, we give two examples to illustrate the effectiveness of our work.
Biological control for predation invasion based on pair approximation
Authors: Gao Zhiyin , Liu Sen , Li Weide
Published: July 2022

Biological invasions have been paid more attention since invasive species may cause certain threats to local ecosystems. When biological control is adopted, selecting control species for effect better becomes the focus of latest studies. A food web system, with one native species, one invasive species as predator, and one introduced control species preying on both native and invasive species, is established based on pair approximation, in which the spatial landscape of biological invasion and control is concerned, and the local and global dispersal strategies of invasive species, in addition to the predation preferences of control species for native and invasive species, are considered. The influence of the initial density and initial spatial structures of the control species is investigated and the effects of control species releasing time are analyzed. Generally, the earlier the species introduction, the better the control effect, especially for invasive species dispersing globally. Interestingly, too low control species predation preference for native species can lead to unsuccessful introduction, while too much predation preference will have a weak control effect. The larger the control species predatory preference for invasive species is, the more conducive it is to biological control. The extinction of the invasive species is closely related to the initial density and concentration of the control species. This study gives some insights on selecting control species, its appropriate releasing time, and the density and spatial aggregation of it. Some real-life examples are elaborated on, which provides references for biological invasion control.
Uređenje državljanstva i multinormativnost na hrvatsko-slavonskom području u Kraljevini Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca (1918. – 1928.)
Authors:   Pravni fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska, Kosnica Ivan
Published: July 2022

In the paper the author analyzed the citizenship norms in the Croatian-Slavonian area in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in the period from the formation of the state in 1918 to the first Citizenship Law of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which entered into force on 1 November 1928. Based on practical examples the author analyzed the relevance of various groups of norms in citizenship cases. In doing so, the author analyzed the concept of Croatian-Slavonian citizenship law in the new state, further application of abolished norms in administrative practice and application of Serbian citizenship law and other norms in the Croatian-Slavonian area. Based on the analyzed sources the author pointed out the competition of various norms and concluded that the normative complexity significantly complicated the process of standardization of citizenship law in the Croatian-Slavonian area. In addition, the author argues for a reformulation of the current understanding of the citizenship setting, which presupposes initial validity of citizenship norms enacted before 1 December of 1918 and their gradual change with new citizenship norms enacted over the following ten years. Instead, the author argues that this was only dominant practice, which was in a number of cases faced with other normativities that represented competitive solutions.
Platformized Seriality: Chinese Time Travel Fantasy from Prime-time Television to Online Streaming
Authors: Tan Jia
Published: July 2022

While seriality has long been associated with broadcast and cable television, the global rise of online streaming has brought development of what I call platformized seriality: assemblages of online platform infrastructure design, content regulation, generic convention, and experimentation. The notion of platformized seriality points to a complex refiguration of specific media content and genre forms that are usually overlooked in platform studies. This essay analyzes time-travel serials—now immensely popular in the context of China’s growing video-streaming industry, convergence culture, and the financial boom of digital platforms. Analyzing the trope of the female time traveler in historical romance, this essay examines how chuanyue, or the Chinese time-travel genre, subtly unsettles contemporary gender-related anxiety and the dominant discourse on development and progress, something that partly explains the pleasure it generates. The genre of chuanyue benefited from the rise of platform infrastructure designs such as bullet screens and pay-on-demand-in-advance services that direct new forms of audience engagement and new practices of binge-watching. Focusing on the fantasy genre and the mutability of the time traveler’s gender, sexuality, and class, I explore how the trope of traveling backward marks a reconfiguration of conceptions of time, space, and history and thus opens a space to negotiate with the neoliberal narratives of linear and progressivist temporality.
Rapid progression of pulmonary artery dilatation in pulmonary hypertension
Authors: Cersosimo Angelica , Arabia Gianmarco , Vizzardi Enrico , Metra Marco
Published: July 2022

We report the case of a 47-year-old woman who was admitted to the cardiac department for worsening dyspnea. The last chest computed tomography (CT) showed a rapid increase in pulmonary artery dimension (65 mm in 2019, 76 mm in 2021). The symptoms reported by the patient were due to important extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA). In this case, it is very difficult to choose the best therapeutic strategy. In the end, we decided to treat the left main coronary for prevention. After 3 months no new clinical symptoms have developed.
Molecular basis of RhD-negative phenotype in North Indian blood donor population
Authors: Khetan Dheeraj , Shukla Jai Shukla , Chaudhary Rajendra K.
Published: July 2022

Background & objectives:

RHD gene typing is highly complex due to homology with RHCE genes. Molecular polymorphism of the RHCE and RHD genes have been characterized among various populations, but no studies have been undertaken among Indians. This study was undertaken to assess the genetic basis of RHD-negative phenotype in Indian blood donor population.

Methods:

Sample from a total of 200 phenotypically RhD-negative blood donors were analyzed for presence of RHD gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RHD genotyping was done using three primer sets designed for exons 4 and 10 and one set for identification of pseudo (RHDΨ) gene between introns (int) 3 and 4. Amplified PCR products were analyzed by gel-electrophoresis (XY Loper, Uvitech, Cambridge) and confirmed by nucleotide sequencing (ABI 3730 xl 96 capillary system).

Results:

No PCR product was found in 195/200 (97.5%) of study samples indicating homozygous gene deletion. Of the 5/200 (2.5%) showing RHD gene polymorphisms, 4/200 (2%) were positive for presence of exon 10 only (RHD-CE-D hybrid). RHDΨ gene was not detected in any of the samples tested. One sample showed presence of all three tested regions and was negative for RHDΨ gene.

Interpretation & conclusions:

RHD gene deletion was found to be the most common cause of an RHD-negative phenotype while RHDΨ gene was, reported to be present in up to 39 per cent of various ethnic populations, but was not detected. RHD-CE-D hybrid gene (found in 2.5% individuals) is important for predicting the requirement of Rh prophylaxis during the antenatal period.
HLA-G 3’UTR polymorphisms & response to a yoga-based lifestyle intervention in rheumatoid arthritis: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Gautam Surabhi , Kumar Uma , Mishra Richa , Dada Rima
Published: July 2022

Background & objectives:

Human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-G plays a vital role in immunomodulation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The mounting evidence suggests a link between HLA-G gene polymorphisms, disease susceptibility and methotrexate treatment response. Various environmental factors influence the onset and progression of RA and its treatment outcomes. The aim is to identify the treatment response of HLA-G 3’ untranslated region polymorphisms to yoga-based lifestyle intervention (YBLI).

Methods:

In this eight-week single-blinded randomized controlled trial (CTRI/2017/05/008589), patients with RA (n=140) were randomized into two groups namely, yoga group or non-yoga group. Baseline genomic DNA was isolated using salting-out method. PCR-based methods were used for genotyping. The levels of soluble (s) HLA-G and disease activity were assessed by ELISA and disease activity score-28–erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR), respectively, at baseline (day 0) and after eight weeks of intervention.

Results:

Low-producing sHLA-G genotypes, i.e. +3142GG and 14 bp ins/ins, showed a significant increase in sHLA-G levels after YBLI. The association analysis between HLA-G polymorphisms and treatment for RA showed no considerable differential treatment remission in either of the groups (P>0.05). The percentages of improvement were higher in the yoga group as compared to the non-yoga group in both the HLA-G +3142G>C and 14 bp ins/del polymorphisms irrespective of their respective genotypes. No significant association was found between sHLA-G levels and disease activity with respect to genotypes.

Interpretation & conclusions:

Yoga intervention results in improvement and reduced severity of RA in patients irrespective of the HLA-G 14 bp ins/del or +3142G>C polymorphisms. YBLI may be used as an adjunct therapy in RA independent of the genotypes.
