Published: January 2024

Housing is one of the needs that must be met by all people in the world, both in developing and developed countries, in addition to food needs, proper housing certainly influences the formation of the nation's personality so that they can socialize well in society. Every year the need for houses as a place to live or occupancy is increasing due to the increasing population both in rural and urban areas. Basically, fulfilling housing needs is the responsibility of each community itself, but the state helps the community to obtain and provides convenience in obtaining housing through housing developers. Housing developers or developers who have built their homes can sell to debtors with a gradual cash payment system and Home Ownership Credit (KPR), a gradual cash payment system. For KPR, a credit agreement can be signed which contains the approved credit value and the credit loan repayment period. The credit agreement made must be known by the housing developer or developer, which can be in the form of a private deed, or a deed drawn up before a notary or land deed official.
Kepastian Hukum Kreditur Preferen Dalam Upaya Parate Executie Perjanjian Fidusia Menurut Undang-Undang Nomor 42 Tahun 1999 Tentang Jaminan Fidusia
Authors: Setiawan Rizky Andaru , Ismono Joko
Published: January 2024

Fidusia comes from the word fides means belief. Juridically, the Fiduciary Giver has transferred his material rights to the Fiduciary Giver gives the Fiduciary Giver the right to control the fiduciary guarantee object. Based on UUJF, it has been regulated to the execution of the Fiduciary Guarantee Object if the giver of fiduciary fails to promise by the execution of the executorial title. Through the decision of the Constitutional Court Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019 that in order to carry out an execution if the debetor does not wish to voluntarily submit the Fidicuary Guarantee Object, it must be requested to the Chair of the Court and the determination of breach of contract must have an agreement between creditors and debtors or through legal remedies. Then questioned the legal certainty of preferred creditors in the efforts of the parate executie. This legal research is a normative legal research. The analytical method for this type of normative legal research is a prescriptive method using a statute approach and a case approach. This study aims to determine the legal certainty of preferred creditors in the efforts of parate executie of the fiduciary agreement based on UUJF and the legal consquences and judges’ considerations which are the basis for deciding the case application for the Constitutional Court Decision Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019. The result of the research conclude that legal certainty legal certainty has been stated in UUJF for creditors by executing Fidicuary Guarantee if the debtor fails the promise. The certainty is included in order to “Demi Keadilan Berdasarkan Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa” means it has the same executorial power as court decision has obtained permanent legal force. However, in reality the execution process cannot be carried out automatically. so that the execution process becomes longer and it is quite difficult to achieve the executive parate. The Constitutional Court emphasizes on an agreement on when the breach of contract between creditors and debtors occurs so that creditors can carry out the parate executie. So that it is often used by the Fiduciary to take refuge in the interpretation of the Constitutional Court, which is actually the default clause agreed in the agreement.
Structural ambiguity in DPs with quantity nouns
Authors: Alonso-Ovalle Luis , Schwarz Bernhard
Published: January 2024

DPs with quantity nouns (QDPs), like that amount of nuts, can combine with predicates of quantities, as in That amount of nuts is low, or with predicates of entities, as in Bo ate that amount of nuts. One account of such selectional flexibility, inspired by Selkirk (1977) and Rothstein (2009), assumes that the two types of predication are transparently encoded through two types of syntactic structures. In this paper, we draw attention to a syntactic challenge for this account of QDPs, viz.that in certain cases it requires two interpreted occurrences of an entity noun like nuts even though only one is pronounced. We argue, however, that this challenge mustbe met and cannot be avoided by abandoning the structural approach. We make this case by arguing against an alternative analysis of the selectional flexibility of QDPs developed in Scontras 2017. On this alternative, quantity predication and entity predication with QDPs are derived from a uniform syntax, and entity predication with QDPs parallels entity predication with DPs with kind, like that kind of nuts, under the classic Carlsonian account (Carlson 1977) as developed in Chierchia 1998. We argue that Scontras’ analysis is mistaken, both in positing a unified syntax for the two types of predication with QDPs, and in unifying the analysis of QDPs withthe Carlsonian analysis of kind-DPs.

Decolonizing The Parallel Marriage Ceremonies in the Ghanaian Context
Authors: Eshun Isaac , Odoom Vincent , Dankwa Shirley
Published: January 2024

This research sought to answer the double or parallel marriage rites performed by couples and how it affects the institution of marriage in Winneba in the Efutu Municipality of Ghana. A qualitative approach was used to provide a successful conduct of the research given the complexity of the phenomenon under study. The research design used for the study was a case study. The targeted population for the study were married people who performed parallel marriage ceremonies, adults who have reached their marital age but are not married, parents, opinion leaders (pastors) and marriage counsellors. In all, fifteen individuals were purposively and conveniently chosen for the study. This consists of five (5) married individuals who performed parallel marriage ceremonies, four (4) unmarried individuals who have reached their marital but are not married, two (2) opinion leaders, two (2) parents and two (2) marriage counsellors. The purposive and convenience sampling techniques were used to select the elements such as married individuals who performed parallel marriage ceremonies, adults who have reached their marital age but are not married, parents and opinion leaders (pastors). Also, a critical case sampling technique was used to sample the marriage counsellors involved in the research work. A semi-structured interview guide was employed for the data collection. It was revealed that the performance of parallel marriage ceremonies has contributed to the problems of marriage than it was ever imagined. Marriage is seen to be an expensive venture by most of the unmarried individuals. This perception has created fear in the hearts of many unemployed and ungainful employed young individuals who have found their love but have no means to tie the knot. Cohabitation, considered against societal norms many years ago, is now accepted and endorsed by society due to the rigorous dynamics involved in getting married in the Ghanaian context these days. It is, therefore, inferred from the conclusion and recommended that the State and other agencies involved in contracting marriages should come together to find better ways through which the effects of the performance of parallel marriage ceremonies on the institution of marriage can be reduced or eradicated.”
Strategic Information System and Contingency Planning is Necessary for The Rapid Growth of Any Organization
Authors: Okeke Adaobi Udoka
Published: January 2024

Strategic information system planning (SISP) has been identified as a critical management issue. It is considered by many as the best mechanism for assuring that IT activities are congruent with those of the rest of the organization and its evolving needs. Our research investigated the success of SISP as a function of its key success factors (KSFs) in different contexts and SISP approaches, in a framework that integrated all of the SISP components and provided a new perspective on how the constructs are instrumental to produce SISP success. Based on responses from 172 American CIOs, our study’s findings empirically supported our research model: the combination of SISP context and approach was found to have a moderating influence on the basic relationship between SISP KSFs and its success, the best predictor for the long-term success of the SISP process was apparently based on the three-way interactions between SISP’s KSFs, its approach and its context. In addition, specific combinations of SISP approach and SISP context were found to decrease or increase the size of the ‘‘planning paradox’’ (the inconsistency in the behavior of the ‘‘basic relationship’’ between the three).

Published: January 2024

Kegagalan pengereman atau rem blong merupakan penyebab umum kecelakaan yang sering terjadi. Muatan berlebih (overloading) dan temperatur tromol yang tinggi (overheating) sering dicurigai sebagai pemicu utama kegagalan pengereman. Penelitian ini memfokuskan pada pengaruh muatan sumbu roda dan temperatur tromol terhadap efisiensi sistem pengereman pada mobil Toyota Avanza. Metode yang digunakan adalah eksperimen dengan variasi tromol standar dan tromol yang telah dimodifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam pengujian pengereman, temperatur pada tromol yang telah dimodifikasi menggunakan pendingin air lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan tromol konvensional, dengan perbedaan mencapai 30%. Perbedaan temperatur semakin signifikan ketika temperatur kerja rem mencapai di atas 100°C. Tromol water cooler brake bekerja dengan efektif untuk menahan peningkatan temperatur rem dengan cara menyebarkan panas dari kampas rem ke sirip-sirip tromol melalui perantara air pendingin. Penggunaan cairan pendingin berupa air biasa atau radiator kurang efektif karena rentan mengalami penurunan cepat akibat penguapan. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan tentang peningkatan efisiensi pengereman melalui modifikasi tromol dengan pendingin air, yang dapat menjadi solusi untuk mengurangi risiko kegagalan pengereman akibat muatan berlebih dan temperatur tromol yang tinggi.
Analysis of GO-MoS2/EG Powell-Eyring Fluid Transportation in Stagnation Point Flow and Heat Transfer over a Shrinking Surface

Published: January 2024

Using ethylene glycol as the base fluid, nanomaterials graphene oxide (GO) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are disseminated into the fluid. The heat transfer behaviour of a non-Newtonian Powell-Eyring fluid hybrid nanofluid is evaluated together with several effects such as magnetic, suction and radiation. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are acquired by deriving the mathematical model in partial differential equations (PDEs) with suitable similarity transformations. The formulas are numerically estimated with the assistance of the bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The impact of parameter effects on the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, entropy generation, velocity profile and temperature profile are reviewed and discussed. The aftermath revealed that skin friction and suction effects are elevated along the magnetic field. The rate of heat transmission is enhanced by improving the value of the suction parameter. Magnetic field, Eckert number and suction boosted entropy over the shrinking plate.

An experimental study is presented in this paper to evaluate the enhancement of heat transfer characteristics. This includes the study of a steady air jet impinging on a planar aluminum plate with constant heat flux. Extensive industrial applications of heat transfer include electronic heat sinks, the food industry, automobiles, and heat exchangers. The magnitude of the local Nusselt number along the streamwise direction is determined through detailed experimental computation using the infrared radiometry technique. The range of Reynolds number was selected between 6500 ≤ Re ≤ 15000 and the air jet outlet-to-target surface spacing 2 ≤ Y/D ≤ 6. The objective is to develop a semi-empirical correlation that can be used to determine the distribution of local Nusselt numbers over a flat plate. Considering the objective function of the spacing between the air jet outlet and target surface spacing (Y/D), Reynolds number (Re), and non-dimensional number from stagnation point in the radial direction of the plate (r’/D), it was observed that the heat transfer rates are higher for the configuration Y/D = 4 for varying Reynolds numbers, a 5 percent increase was observed. The stagnation Nusselt number shows an increasing trend up to Y/D = 4, for Reynolds numbers 10,000 and 12,000 respectively, the corresponding stagnation Nusselt numbers are 110 and 115. In comparison to the stagnation Nusselt number, which is the same Reynolds number corresponds to, the transition field Nusselt number had heat transfer values that were 12% lower.

Purpose: In a law there are various parties who will enforce the laws in force in Indonesia. These parties carry out law enforcement so as not to create a violation of the law, bring order to society and regulate society in accordance with the norms and rules that apply in a country is not easy to apply in public life.Methodology:The resolution of a case of violation of the law is a legal process. Legal process is an action to resolve cases of violations of the law to achieve a settlement in accordance with applicable regulations in Indonesia.Findings: In legal cases that have occurred in Indonesia, the provision of criminal sanctions against Grandma Minah who is a cocoa thief has received a lot of attention from the public. The case of "Grandma Minah" is an example of law enforcement in Indonesia that is still considered by the public to have not realized sanctions in rulings in accordance with conscience and moral considerations.Implication:The reason that often arises is the injustice of sanctions against theft crimes that can actually still be resolved by familial means. But this is the reality that occurs on the ground between legal theory and practice that has different implementations.

The tax state is one of the ways to collect taxes from its people because taxes are used as a means for the welfare of the people. (SPT), then deposit their tax obligations. The enormous trust of taxpayers in taxpayers is naturally balanced with supervisory instruments; for this purpose, the tax authorities are given the authority to carry out tax audits.Methodology:The type of research that will be used in this proposal is empirical legal research. This type of empirical legal research uses field data, such as the results of interviews and observations, as the primary data source. Empirical legal research is used to analyze the law, seen as patterned social behavior in people's lives that constantly interacts and relates to social aspects.Findings: If the inspection results show discrepancies or discrepancies, the paying tax authorities issue a Tax Assessment Letter (SKP), which functions as a Billing Letter. In practice, there are often differences in settlement between the tax authorities and taxpayers, which is one reason for tax disputes arising.Implication:Within the framework of a rule of law state, the taxpayer is entitled to legal protection to resolve the dispute in case of a tax dispute. The dispute resolution pathways provided include objections, appeals, and lawsuits.

We present the first JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) and Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) observations of the prominent debris disk around β Pictoris. Coronagraphic observations in eight filters spanning from 1.8 to 23 μm provide an unprecedentedly clear view of the disk at these wavelengths. The objectives of the observing program were to investigate the dust composition and distribution and to investigate the presence of planets in the system. In this paper, we focus on the disk components, providing surface brightness measurements for all images and a detailed investigation of the asymmetries observed. A companion paper by Kammerer et al. will focus on the planets in this system using the same data. We report for the first time the presence of an extended secondary disk in thermal emission, with a curved extension bent away from the plane of the disk. This feature, which we refer to as the “cat’s tail,” seems to be connected with the previously reported CO clump, mid-infrared asymmetry detected on the southwest side of the disk, and the warp observed in scattered light. We present a model of this secondary disk sporadically producing dust that broadly reproduces the morphology, flux, and color of the cat’s tail, as well as other features observed in the disk, and which suggests the secondary disk is composed largely of porous, organic refractory dust grains.
Rotation and Confined Eruption of a Double Flux-rope System
Authors: Zhang X. M. , Guo J. H. , Guo Y. , Ding M. D. , Keppens Rony
Published: January 2024

We perform a data-constrained simulation with the zero-β assumption to study the mechanisms of strong rotation and failed eruption of a filament in active region 11474 on 2012 May 5 observed by Solar Dynamics Observatory and Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory. The initial magnetic field is provided by nonlinear force-free field extrapolation, which is reconstructed by the regularized Biot–Savart laws and magnetofrictional method. Our simulation reproduces most observational features very well, e.g., the filament large-angle rotation of about 130°, the confined eruption, and the flare ribbons, allowing us to analyze the underlying physical processes behind observations. We discover two flux ropes in the sigmoid system, an upper flux rope (MFR1) and a lower flux rope (MFR2), which correspond to the filament and hot channel in observations, respectively. Both flux ropes undergo confined eruptions. MFR2 grows by tether-cutting reconnection during the eruption. The rotation of MFR1 is related to the shear-field component along the axis. The toroidal field tension force and the nonaxisymmetry forces confine the eruption of MFR1. We also suggest that the mutual interaction between MFR1 and MFR2 contributes to the large-angle rotation and the eruption failure. In addition, we calculate the temporal evolution of the twist and writhe of MFR1, which is a hint of probable reversal rotation.
Protoplanetary Disk Size under Nonideal Magnetohydrodynamics: A General Formalism with Inclined Magnetic Field
Authors: Lee 李 Yueh-Ning 悅寧 , Ray Barshan , Marchand Pierre , Hennebelle Patrick
Published: January 2024

Many mechanisms have been proposed to alleviate the magnetic catastrophe, which prevents the Keplerian disk from forming inside a collapsing magnetized core. Such propositions include inclined field and nonideal magnetohydrodynamics effects, and have been supported with numerical experiments. Models have been formulated for typical disk sizes when a field threads the rotating disk, parallel to the rotation axis, while observations at the core scales do not seem to show evident correlation between the directions of angular momentum and the magnetic field. In the present study, we propose a new model that considers both vertical and horizontal fields and discuss their effects on the protoplanetary disk size.

Published: January 2024

As the primary requirement, correctly implementing and controlling random number generation is vital for a range of scientific analyses and simulations across astronomy and planetary science. Beyond advice on how to set the seed, there is little guidance in the literature for how best to handle pseudo-random number generation in the current era of open-source astronomical software development. We present our methodology for implementing a pseudo-random number generation in astronomy simulations and software and share the short lines of python code that create the generator. Without sacrificing randomization at run time, our strategy ensures reproducibility on a per function/module basis for unit testing and for run time debugging where there may be multiple functions requiring lists of randomly generated values that occur before a specific function is executed.
The spiral of plants and soil in the cycle of life
Authors: Zanella Augusto
Published: January 2024

This is not an article, but rather an account of a meeting that took place between two naturalists who had not seen each other for a few years and who freely exchanged their doubts and matured lines of thought. It is a provocative dialogue between the author of this article and Sandro Pignatti on natural evolution, considering the soil as a living matrix in which recycling of organic matter (including DNA) takes place. We can also interpret it as an attempt to merge the points of view of vegetation and soil ecologists, in order to revive the discussion on natural evolution. We think we understand it, but we don’t. We discussed the following topics: 1) the relationship between phytosociology and plant ecology; 2) the soil as an individual or as an ecosystem’s digestive machinery; 3) the hypothesis of a complemental geological (long-term) flow of DNA fragments in relation to the recycling process that takes place in the soil. Past and recent research in the fields of biology and evolution highlights a functional and primordial collaboration between living beings in the exploitation of natural resources. In this process that ultimately is life, soil plays a crucial role because it is cyclically and progressively renewed and enriches the sources of structural building blocks. The purpose of this story is to encourage us to reflect on the meaning of life, considering the functional contribution of death, which we perhaps mistakenly call “biodegradation”.

Similarity surrogate-assisted evolutionary neural architecture search with dual encoding strategy
Authors: Xue Yu , Zhang Zhenman , Neri Ferrante
Published: January 2024

Neural architecture search (NAS), a promising method for automated neural architecture design, is often hampered by its overwhelming computational burden, especially the architecture evaluation process in evolutionary neural architecture search (ENAS). Although there are surrogate models based on regression or ranking to assist or replace the neural architecture evaluation process in ENAS to reduce the computational cost, these surrogate models are still affected by poor architectures and are not able to accurately find good architectures in a search space. To solve the above problems, we propose a novel surrogate-assisted NAS approach, which we call the similarity surrogate-assisted ENAS with dual encoding strategy (SSENAS). We propose a surrogate model based on similarity measurement to select excellent neural architectures from a large number of candidate architectures in a search space. Furthermore, we propose a dual encoding strategy for architecture generation and surrogate evaluation in ENAS to improve the exploration of well-performing neural architectures in a search space and realize sufficiently informative representations of neural architectures, respectively. We have performed experiments on NAS benchmarks to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that SSENAS can accurately find the best neural architecture in the NAS-Bench-201 search space after only 400 queries of the tabular benchmark. In the NAS-Bench-101 search space, it can also get results that are comparable to other algorithms. In addition, we conducted a large number of experiments and analyses on the proposed algorithm, showing that the surrogate model measured via similarity can gradually search for excellent neural architectures in a search space.

Authors: Özbekler Abdullah , İşler Kübra Uslu , Alzabut Jehad
Published: January 2024

In this paper, new Sturmian comparison results were obtained for linear and nonlinear hyperbolic equations on a rectangular prism. The results obtained for linear equations extended those given by Kreith [Sturmian theorems on hyperbolic equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 22 (1969), 277-281] in which the Sturmian comparison theorem for linear equations was obtained on a rectangular region in the plane. For the purpose of verification, an application was described using an eigenvalue problem.
L’ornement des sages. Parler d’écriture à la veille des guerres de l’opium (années 1820)
Authors: Blitstein Pablo A.
Published: January 2024

Selon les lieux et les temps, la réflexion sur l’écriture a pris des formes très différentes. La « littérature » moderne n’est pas un type universel d’activité sociale, mais une notion qui s’est progressivement imposée aux esprits au cours du XIXe siècle. Là où la littérature est absente, comment réfléchit-on sur l’esthétique de l’écriture ? L’article tente de répondre à cette question en interrogeant un corpus particulier : les écrits sur la rime et le parallélisme de Ruan Yuan 阮元 (1764-1849), inclus dans son Recueil de la Chambre de l’étude des Classiques.
Co-développement d’un projet collaboratif pour le suivi télémétrique hivernal d’ombles chevaliers à Kangirsuk, Nunavik, Canada
Authors: Dubos Véronique , Nassak Johnny
Published: January 2024

Kangirsuk, village Inuit du Nunavik1, est réputé pour l’abondance de ses ombles chevaliers anadromes (Salvelinus alpinus) qui sont une ressource de subsistance pour la population locale. Cependant, dans le lac Tasirjuarusik, situé près de la communauté, les ombles disparaissent temporairement pendant l’hiver et réapparaissent au printemps. L’association locale de chasseurs et pêcheurs (l’Anguvigaq) souhaitait élucider cette mystérieuse disparition par un suivi télémétrique des poissons. Le présent article fait état de la démarche suivie pour bâtir un projet de recherche collaborative entre Inuits et scientifiques non-Inuits, de la demande de financement aux premiers travaux de terrain. Le projet est mené par les partenaires Inuits, soit l’association de chasseurs et pêcheurs (Anguvigaq) de Kangirsuk, en collaboration avec les partenaires scientifiques. La démarche présentée se veut un exemple de projet collaboratif en territoire autochtone qui peut être répliqué et qui permet de favoriser l’engagement de tous les acteurs, Inuits et non-Inuits.
Higher Education Within the Context of the Online Learning Environment
Authors: Gayathri M. , Kavitha V.
Published: January 2024

Nowadays, learners increasingly choose to complete their higher education entirely online. The flexibility, convenience, and potentially lucrative financial rewards of online education all contribute to its growth. Online education has become increasingly popular in recent years. Despite this, online education still faces obstacles that must be overcome. Teachers now need to help their pupils thrive in the digital classroom. Using efficient methods of instruction and assessment in an online setting will be possible. It's probable that studying remotely will increase the sense of isolation. It may be easier for students to get to know their lecturers and classmates when they attend lessons together in person. This is because students enrolled in online courses are excused from physical classroom attendance. This may make it harder for students to stay engaged with and motivated by their studies. If done correctly, it has the potential to provide students with a more flexible, accessible, and cost-effective learning environment.

Authors: Lara-Guillén Jorge , Méndez-Aparicio M. Dolores , Jiménez-Zarco Ana Isabel
Published: January 2024

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls on all countries to adopt a series of measures to promote sustainability. The circular economy emerges as a new paradigm of production and consumption aligned with sustainable development represents a major challenge for all the agents involved. At the corporate level, it represents the inclusion of sustainable practices which put marketing in the spotlight of business strategy. In this context, education plays a decisive role in contributing to the sustainable development of societies, and this educational process can be promoted in different areas. The companies, for their potential to booster responsible demand from consumers, can be a powerful sustainability tool that contributes to reducing the gap between attitude and sustainable behavior. Based on a desk research methodology, this chapter pursues a twofold objective: to analyze whether there is a gap between consumers' stated attitude and sustainable behavior and to identify whether an appropriate marketing strategy can help overcome it.

The Contribution of Experiential Learning to Self-Directed Learning Approaches in Higher Education
Authors: Mayombe Celestin
Published: January 2024

There have been trends in experiential learning (EL) to implement self-directed learning (SDL) in higher education institutions in the 21st century. Due to the necessity of a real-life, interactive environment in the lecturing approaches in higher education, the problem is to ensure that the learning becomes interactive and meaningful to the students. Students commit to learning when their goals and objectives are considered realistic and important, though they may face socio-economic challenges. Therefore, applying knowledge in the real world is important and relevant to the student's needs. This chapter explores the implications of experiential learning theory to gain work-related skills and knowledge for the work environment. The implication of the experiential learning theory (ELT) to higher education is that lecturers should design course materials that empower students to acquire knowledge and skills to solve real-life problems. Thus, ELT points to teaching practices that aim at enabling students to perform activities that are close to those found in the workplace.
