Finite Element Modeling of One-Way Recycled Aggregate Concrete Slabs Strengthened using Near-Surface Mounted CFRPs under Repeated Loading
Authors: Nasir Nameer , DAUD RAID
Published: November 2022

This study offers numerical simulation results using the ABAQUS/CAE version 2019 finite element computer application to examine the performance, and residual strength of eight recycle aggregate RC one-way slabs. Six strengthened by NSM CFRP plates were presented to study the impact of several parameters on their structural behavior. The experimental results of four selected slabs under monotonic load, plus one slab under repeated load, were validated numerically. Then the numerical analysis was extended to different parameters investigation, such as the impact of added CFRP length on ultimate load capacity and load-deflection response and the impact of concrete compressive strength value on the structural performance of slabs. This article aims to provide a numerical model for simulating the nonlinear behavior of such slabs, including a trustworthy finite element model approach and constitutive material models. In aspects of load-deflection and cracking patterns, comparisons between computational and experimental models are provided, and a reasonable fit is demonstrated. The average ratio of numerical model ultimate load and deflections to experimentally tested slabs were 0.992 and 0.913, respectively. As a result, finite element analysis may be regarded as a preferred and trustworthy approach for simulating the non-linear behavior of one-way slabs (strengthened or not) in terms of complexity, difficulty, time savings, human effort, and money.
Study The Impact of Geopolymer Mortar Reinforced by Micro Steel Fibers
Authors: AlTaii Mohammed , Fawzi Nada Mahdi
Published: November 2022

In this research, geopolymer mortar had to be designed with 50% to 50% slag and fly ash with and without 1% micro steel fiber at curing temperature of 240℃. The molarity of alkaline solution adjusted with 12 molar sodium hydroxid to sodium silicate was 2 to 1, reaspectivly. The heat of curing increased the geopolymerization proceses of geoplymer mortar, which led to increasing strength, giving the best result and early curing age. The heat was applied for two days by four hours each day. It was discovered in the impact test that the value first crack of each mix was somewhat similar, but the failure increased 72%  for the mixture that did not contain fiber. For the energy observation results it was shown that the mixtures with fiber increased by about 40% compared with the mixtuers without fibers at the first crack and 72% at the failure, respectively.

Differential expression of HOXC10 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of HOXC10, encoding homeobox C10, in the skeletal muscle of patients with ALS. HOXC10 was also differentially expressed in fibroblasts isolated from patients with ALS. HOXC10 transcript was present at significantly lower levels in ALS patient skeletal muscle as compared to control skeletal muscle. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.
Equity of options for funding long-term infrastructure investment
Authors: Murray Cameron , Helm Tim
Published: November 2022

This report provides advice on the equity of funding future investment in growth-related infrastructure from new development rather than general rates, and via upfront rather than ongoing payments, in the context of Auckland Council’s proposal to include projects planned beyond the 10s- year period of the Long-term Plan 2021-2031 in the calculation of development contributions.The significance of the expected cost impacts from this proposal makes it important to assess whether the change supports fair, equitable and proportionate cost recovery, and to understand the costs and benefits of using development contributions vs alternative approaches.The report concludes that it is more equitable to fund future growth-related infrastructure by taxing new development, such as via development contributions, than by taxing ratepayers across the city.Equity in funding local public goods, such as infrastructure, means those who cause the need for expenditure, and/or those who benefit from it, should fund it.Benefits in this context are best identified as land value uplift from the full planning process – both rezoning and infrastructure delivery. Infrastructure users are not beneficiaries in any meaningful sense, because they have already paid for the ongoing value of its services in the upfront price of their property.Since development causes the need for growth infrastructure, and developable land benefits most significantly, it is fair to collect funding from developers rather than ratepayers.This applies to post-2031 infrastructure just as to pre-2031 infrastructure. Moving closer to full cost recovery by treating all planned investment on the same basis therefore improves the equity of the overall funding model, better aligning funding practice with ethical and legislative principles. Charges that reflect the higher costs of greenfields development will also incentivise development to be undertaken where it has lower public cost.Early developers contribute towards the need for infrastructure as much as late developers, so this proposal also reduces the inequity of under-charging early developers inherent in current practice.The proposal is a logical application of accepted principles and raises no major equity concerns. An extended lag between payment and infrastructure delivery is not inequitable, because developers benefit financially from planned infrastructure long before delivery. Greater uncertainty over future costs may result in larger revisions to contribution levels, but there is minimal risk of over-charging.The report argues that whether funding for post-2031 infrastructure is collected upfront via development contributions or over time via targeted rates is a second-order issue, since the economic impacts are broadly similar.

These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.
Signifikanztest & Co: Warum nutzen wir Inferenzstatistik?
Authors: Sawatzky Alla , Kierdorf Jana
Published: November 2022

Although the use of inferential statistical procedures, such as the significance test, is very common, it is usually left open what purpose the use of inferential statistics serves. We show that inferential statistical procedures are not able to provide satisfactory answers to typical questions relevant in basic or applied research. Questions about the relationships in the data, questions about the implications arising from the relationships in the data, and questions about the generality of the relationships in the data can only be answered using graphical and descriptive procedures in combination with replications. The perceived usefulness of inferential statistical procedures may be explained by very widespread misinterpretations. We therefore recommend refraining from a ubiquitous use of inferential statistics.
Examining accuracy-prompt efficacy in combination with using colored borders to differentiate news and social content online
Authors: Bhardwaj Venya , Martel Cameron , Rand David Gertler
Published: November 2022

Recent evidence suggests that prompting users to consider the accuracy of online posts increases the quality of news they share on social media. Here we examine how accuracy prompts affect user behavior in a more realistic context, and whether their effect can be enhanced by using colored borders to differentiate news from social content. Our results show that accuracy prompts increase news sharing quality without affecting sharing of social (non-news) posts or “liking” behavior. We also find that adding colored borders around news posts increased overall engagement with news regardless of veracity, and decreased engagement with social posts.
Children hold an intuitive economic theory of diminishing marginal utility
Authors: Ahl Richard , McAuliffe Katherine
Published: November 2022

Judgments surrounding resource acquisition and valuation are ubiquitous in daily life. How do humans decide what something is worth to themselves or someone else? One important cue to value is that of resource quantity. As described by economists, the principle of diminishing marginal utility (DMU) holds that as resource abundance increases, the value placed on each unit decreases; likewise, when resources become more scarce, the value placed on each unit rises. While prior research suggests that adults make judgments that align with this concept, it is unclear whether children do so. In Study 1 (n = 104), children (ages 5 through 8) were presented with scenarios involving losses or gains to others’ resources and predicted the actions and emotions of the individuals involved. Participants made decisions that aligned with DMU, e.g., expecting individuals with fewer resources to expend more effort for an additional resource than individuals with greater resources. In Study 2 (n = 104), children were capable of abandoning a quantity-based approach to resource valuation when it was appropriate to do so, showing the capacity to incorporate information about preferences when inferring others’ resource valuations. Our results indicate the early emergence of an intuitive economic theory that aligns with an important economic principle. Long before formal learning on this topic, children integrate quantity and preference information to sensibly predict others’ resource valuations, with implications for economic decision-making, social preferences, and judgments of partner quality across the lifespan.
Improving the reliability of cognitive task measures: A narrative review
Authors: Zorowitz Samuel , Niv Yael
Published: November 2022

Cognitive tasks are capable of providing researchers with crucial insights into the relationship between cognitive processing and psychiatric phenomena. However, many recent studies have found that task measures exhibit poor reliability, which hampers their usefulness for individual-differences research. Here we provide a narrative review of approaches to improve the reliability of cognitive task measures. First, we review methods of calculating reliability and discuss some nuances that are specific to cognitive tasks. Then, we introduce a taxonomy of experiment design and analysis strategies for improving task reliability. Where appropriate, we highlight studies that are exemplary for improving the reliability of specific task measures. We hope that this article can serve as a helpful guide for experimenters who wish to design a new task, or improve an existing one, to achieve sufficient reliability for use in individual-differences research.
Evaluation of Statement Accuracy on Ethical Decision-Making
Authors: Brodhead Matthew Thornton , White Allison N. , Cox David J.
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine how different ethical scenarios and different likelihood of statement accuracy influenced recommendations to seek more information or report an ethical violation. Twenty participants were recruited to participate in a pre-workshop survey where they were presented with five hypothetical ethical scenarios that each corresponded to one of five probabilities that scenario was accurate (100%, 60%, 40%, 20%, and 10%). We found when given a scenario that was 100% accurate, 17 of 20 participants indicated they would advise the individual to report the ethical violation. As report accuracy decreased, the proportion of participants that advised to report also decreased. Future directions and implications for ethical decision-making in research and practice are discussed.
Hazards associated with planned transitions in automated driving: A simulator study
Authors: Hasegawa Kunihiro , Wu Yanbin , Kihara Ken
Published: November 2022

The possibility of human–system transitions remains unresolved in automated driving (SAE level 3 or 4). Previous studies have focused on unplanned transitions caused by unpredictable automation failures or sudden changes in the traffic environment. However, planned transitions at the edge of the operational design domain are the most frequent transitions faced by drivers, and there is less focus on safety issues associated with these transitions. Our concern is that drivers have no traffic situational awareness during transitions and their hands are occupied. Here, we focused on a two-stage transition procedure as a solution to these problems and investigated its effect through driving simulator experiments. The results showed that a two-stage transition procedure with preparatory actions (i.e., the driver monitors the surroundings with both hands unoccupied for approximately 1 min) can be used to reduce potential risks in planned transitions. This finding can help in designing transition procedures to reduce the potential risks in planned transitions.
Philosophy and Sociology of Media
Authors: Iyinolakan Olayinka
Published: November 2022

Philosophical examination of communications did indeed exist in the square of ancient Athens, where Socrates presented his debaters with the much-discussed observation “Know thyself” with its outcome “the unexamined life is not worth living” (Ramsey, 2015). This famous dictum supposedly uttered by Socrates at his trial for supposed wrongdoing explains that his quest for knowledge superseded his will to live. This paper is not about Socrates, but his fixation on examining phenomena serves as a thrust to which I seek to discuss the philosophy and sociology of media. Over centuries, it has become more evident that there is a need to examine knowledge, nature, reality, and behaviour constantly. This paper explores nature, history, and the changing media scene through philosophical and sociological lenses.
Prevalence of Duesenberry’s Relative Income Hypothesis in Nepalese Economy
Authors: Adhikari Rajendra
Published: November 2022

Present paper examines the prevalence of Duesenberry’s relative income hypothesis in Nepalese economy during 1974/75-2019/20 through ARDL bound tests under DEF and Davis-SK specifications. The ARDL under DEF specification is found to be not valid. However, the ARDL bound test under Davis-SK specification is found valid. There exists cointegration among average propensity to consume, demonstration effect and ratchet effect. The coefficient of demonstration effect is found to be negative and that of ratchet effect to be positive as reported by ARDL models. The error correction model also implies that short run shocks significantly affect long run relations among the variables. The departure from the long term growth path due to short run shocks is adjusted by 11.3 % over the next year as indicated by error correction model. This study throws some lights in policy perspective. It is recommended that government of Nepal should impose heavy tax on the consumption of durables and luxuries to discourage consumption and encourage rate of saving, which is most inevitable in Nepalese economy to foster growth of employment and income.
Wild Animals Maintained in Jamunkhadi Mini Zoo, Conservation Status, and their Occurrence in Jhapa District, Nepal
Authors: Rai Tapil Prakash
Published: November 2022

The Jamunkhadi Mini Zoo has been in operation for 15 years and has maintained various species of wild animals, although the majority of them are either unidentified or misidentified on their species labels. Publications revealing the occurrence of wild animals in the Jhapa District are scanty. This study identifies wild animals maintained at the Jamunkhadi Mini Zoo and surveys its place of collection. A wild animal survey form was filled with the officials of the Jamunbari Community Forest and its zookeepers. High-resolution photographs of all the wild animals in the mini zoo were taken and identified with the help of relevant species identification guide books and experts in the various wildlife disciplines. A field survey was carried out by a team of 3-5 researchers to confirm the occurrence of indigenous wild animals in the forests of Jhapa. A total of 28 species of wild animals comprised of six reptile species, seven bird species, and 15 mammal species are identified and listed at the Jamunkhadi Mini Zoo. Of the 28 species maintained at the zoo, 9 (32.14%) are listed as globally threatened; whereas 15 species (53.57%) are listed as nationally threatened, and of those 28 species, 26 are confirmed to occur in the Jhapa. The Leopard Cat, Prionailurus bengalensis has probable habitat in the northern forests that connect with Ilam District in the south. The Sloth Bear, Melursus ursinus has not been recorded in Jhapa.
Does Taxing Mobile Money Harm the Poor: Evidence From the 10 Per Cent Excise Fee Introduction in Kenya
Authors: Foerster Kai
Published: November 2022

Mobile money has been a key innovation in Africa that has increased the financial resilience of vulnerable households by providing an easy way to send and receive remittances. While recent literature has focused on the link between mobile money and its function as a social protection mechanism for the vulnerable population, less is known about the extent to which the costs of using the service affect the transaction behaviour of these people. By exploiting anatural experiment in the form of an excise fee that was imposed on mobile-money transactions in Kenya, this paper estimates the differential effect of a price hike in mobile-money transaction fees on transaction behaviour of households with a daily income below 1.25 USD and households above this threshold. The study finds that households with an income below 1.25 USD reduced their monthly mobile-money transactions volume by 25 per cent compared to households above this threshold. Additionally, the paper finds suggestive evidence that the tax also led to a relative reduction in mobile-money remittances received by households below an income of 1.25 USD. The loss in received remittances was not substituted by an increase in remittances sent by cash or in-kind.
Sovereignty or Security? Maintaining Peace and The Ambivalent Relationship Between Europe and Washington, 1945–1991
Authors: Lau Kalos
Published: November 2022

Among historians, there has been a recurring debate on whether European states lost their de facto sovereignty during the Cold War (1945–1991). While Orthodox Cold War historians claimed that the Europeans were nothing more than chess pieces of the two opposing superpowers, others argued that the continental nations retained autonomy and contributed significantly to the war effort. In response to the academic discussion, this article aims to clarify whether Western European states traded their sovereignty for nuclear and diplomatic protection from the USA. By comparing the policies adopted by Washington and the Europeans – namely the British and French, respectively – I attempt to elucidate the scale of their disagreements and provide a clear analysis of the issue at hand. Upon research, the related literature and first-hand historical sources have demonstrated that: (1) Britain and France played an essential role in initiating the Cold War; (2) Western European states carried out foreign policies that were not in line with Kissinger’s direction during the 1960s and 1970s; (3) Transatlantic diplomatic differences remained in certain policy directions during the 1980s and early 1990s. In general, despite being close strategic allies of Washington, the European states retained their decision-making power.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate radiation dose and image quality compared to those of the relative delay scan when using an absolute delay scan after converting the ECG window acquisition unit in coronary CT angiography. We used chest phantom and ECG simulator through the phantom study. Patient study was conducted on 90 sinus rhythm patients and 76 atrial fibrillation patients. The absolute delay scan was performed after unit conversion based on the average heart rate. After setting the region of interest, quantitative evaluation of image quality was made, qualitative evaluation was made by two observers. The dose was evaluated using the CTDIvol and DLP. There were no significant differences in quantitative values in terms of the phantom study. At an irregular heart rate 79, the CTDIvol of the experimental group decreased by 18% compared to the control group, the DLP decreased by 17.4% compared to the control group.(P<0.05) As a result of patient study, there were no significant differences in quantitative values in terms of the patient study. The CTDIvol of the artrial fibrillation experimental group decreased by 33% compared to the control group, the DLP decreased by 30% compared to the control group.(P<0.05) As a result, when examining coronary CT angiography of patients with atrial fibrillation, it will help reduce the patient’s dose without affecting the image quality if the scan range is set after converting the ECG window acquisition unit to milliseconds based on the average heart rate.

With the rapid development of image processing technology using Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR), Contrast Enhancement Boost Technique (CE-Boost) was developed using a subtraction technique for contrast-enhanced images. In this study, CE-Boost was applied to CT angiography (CTA) to conduct quantitative evaluation. Lower extremity, neck and abdominal angiography images from 60 people quantitatively analyzed the difference between conventional enhanced image and CE-Boost image quality by measuring signal to noise ratio (SNR), noise and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) values. When CE-Boost technology was applied to CTA, Noise was reduced and SNR and CNR values were increased by more than 50% compared to conventional images. CE-Boost reduces noise, increases SNR and CNR values in CTA, and helps improve overall image quality.

Authors:   KOREA SOCIETY OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY, Park Kyoung-Jin , Park Sang-Hyub
Published: November 2022

Computed Tomography (CT) has been used for liver volume measurement because of the highest location accuracy. Automated segmentation methods may improve CT volumetry time, but it has low accuracy. Residual U-Net which is one of the deep learning methods could improve segmentation accuracy. However optimization of residual U-Net hasn’t been demonstrated yet. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal complexity for CT liver volumetry. The study was conducted using the 3D-IRCADb01 Datasets (10 males, 10 females) published by MIS Training Center, 15 people learned and 5 people tested. Segmented images were generated using Deep Residual U-Nets with a total of four different complexity. As a result, as the model became more complex, the total parameters and training time increased exponentially. In all models, both training and testing showed more than 97% accuracy. All losses were less than 0.2. In the case of DCL, it was the lowest at 0.8037 in 3-layer and the highest at 0.9533 in 5-layer. In conclusion, 5 hidden layers of residual U-Net has the highest dice coefficient loss and could train the datasets faster than other complex models.

The combination of particles and gases with a specific concentration will be an air pollution that is dangerous for life. So air quality openly places and public health service institutions are also affected. One of them is a hospital is a place of health services for the surrounding community must have an inpatient room that is qualified both air conditioning, construction, waste treatment and facilities. Air conditioning systems are very important, especially in isolation rooms to prevent the breeding and proliferation of COVID-19. This research aims to find out the air quality in the isolation room has met existing standards or not, it requires monitoring of temperature, humidity and air pollution by harmful gases periodically and in real time. In addition, it makes it easier for officers in the monitoring room to know the air quality at any time and can save time and improve air conditioning monitoring so that it is more efficient. The results showed that the room using air conditioners can adequately standardize air quality for COVID-19 isolation rooms. The results of the experiment were a temperature of 24°C, humidity of 64.1%, carbon dioxide of 0.07ppm, carbon monoxide of 26.74 μg/m3, and air particulates of 0 μg/m3. This thesis is expected to contribute to increasing the number of COVID-19 declines and realizing the prototype of the air quality monitoring system design in the COVID-19 isolation room.
‘For lack of a better word…’ M. Isakovsky’s two letters on A. Prasolov’s poetry
Authors: Glushakov P. S.
Published: November 2022

Letters of the poet Mikhail Isakovsky to the literary historian Anatoly Abramov (1917–2005) published in this article constitute a portion of the poet’s extensive epistolary legacy. The two selected letters dated 1968 are mainly concerned with the poet Aleksey Prasolov (1930–1972), whose literary career Abramov actively supported. Having approached Isakovsky for an opinion about the Voronezh-based poet’s verses, Abramov received very harsh feedback. There can be a number of reasons why the poems, some later recognised as Prasolov’s best, were dismissed by Isakovsky: the fact that the two poets belonged to very different poetic generations and traditions and adhered to disparate aesthetic principles may have played a key role here. A poet of a traditional folk-poetic formation, Isakovsky rejected Prasolov’s verses, whose poetics is directly influenced by Blok’s modernist experimentations. Isakovsky expected Prasolov, an author of challenging complexity, to write about subjects easily recognisable and clear to the reader. Thus, incompatible ideas about a poet’s purpose and dissimilarity of poetic languages precluded the two remarkable poets from ever meeting in person.
Endless return On a motif in Dan Pagis’s poetry
Authors: Bystrov N. L.
Published: November 2022

The motif of the hero’s belated, pointless, and ultimately impossible return to his home country after a long absence is characteristic of the verses created by the Israeli poet Dan Pagis (1930–1986). The poet’s personal experience and (apparently unfulfilled) desire to return to normal life after surviving the Catastrophe constitutes the motif’s subtext. The plot of two poems analysed in the article evokes the story of Honi HaMe’agel, the legendary sage and righteous man, who slept for seventy years and upon awakening realised that the once familiar world refuses to accept him. Another two poems are written in a way that leaves the reader guessing if the returning protagonist is dead or alive and his return even possible. The article particularly discusses the technique for biblical quotations, which Pagis often uses to create an enigmatic ambiguity — a balancing act between extremes: the real and the unreal and the possible and the impossible.
‘…Who saw his own sunset while still living…’ From the journal of the doctor Anton Dietrich
Authors: Shulpyakov G. Y.
Published: November 2022

A publication of journal entries left by the German psychiatrist A. Dietrich, who for years studied the poet K. Batyushkov’s mental illness (caused by multiple intermarriages in the family) and supervised his treatment at the Sonnenstein psychiatric asylum. The publication is compiled and supplied with a preface and comments by the poet and literary historian G. Shulpyakov. The level of detail in the doctor’s notes gives an idea of the sick poet’s condition and helps to reconstruct the hospital routine that surrounded Batyushkov in the 1820s. The comments shed light on the poet’s family life and his relationship with sisters Aleksandra and Yulia, his brother Pompey, and contemporaries such as V. Zhukovsky and N. Karamzin. Batyushkov mentions their names in his every interaction with the clinic’s staff — evidence of an unrelenting loss of sanity: at one point, he insists that Zhukovsky ‘has visited him accompanied by his wife’; at another, he takes a random visitor for his paternal half-brother.
‘Without rules and restrictions, there is no art’
Authors: Divakov S. V. , Gandlevsky S. M.
Published: November 2022

In this interview, the renowned writer and poet Sergey Gandlevsky talks about his view of poetry as essentially an outcome of a ‘lucky error,’ which the author then tweaks to perfection. A lot of his works result from the author’s desire to stress self-reflection, causing the poet to separate himself from the lyrical hero instead of identifying with him, as if the author is looking at a bystander’s image of himself. According to Gandlevsky, true art thrives on rules and restriction and it is for that reason that he personally prefers accentualsyllabic verse to vers libre. As for prose writing, this task is easier for a poet than writing poetry is for a prose writer. A poet normally draws on their own experience, so locations visited and books read are of particular significance. Gandlevsky believes poetry to be a sensory rather than intellectual phenomenon, one which translates reading into physical pleasure. He also insists that poetry plays the role of a ‘gold standard,’ essential for maintaining ‘supreme examples of feelings and emergency supplies of idealism.’

Research results. The basic principles according to which the regional economy should develop are revealed. The problem of regional economic systems (RES) management from the point of view of network management is considered. The hypothesis of a new economic system is put forward. The connection of the institutional basis of RES with the goals of sustainable development is shown. The institutional basis for ensuring the effective development of regional economic systems in the context of local government reform is substantiated and the current principles are formulated, according to which territorial economic systems should function in accordance with the requirements of national and European regulations. Hypotheses about the need to supplement the existing list of principles of functioning of regional economic systems with the principles of structural and institutional support of their development are proved. The mechanisms of realization of the principles of functioning of regional economic systems in modern conditions are substantiated, which include instruments: tax, credit, financial-budgetary, organizational-infrastructural, property-legal. Measures are proposed to ensure effective economic cooperation of communities.
Conclusion. The successful functioning of communities depends primarily on the activities of regional economic systems. The joint implementation of economic projects by communities is most conducive to their cooperation in all areas. The activities of the regional economic system must comply with the principle of structure and the principle of economic cohesion (economic solidarity). In the long run, these principles should lead to the emergence of a new solidarity-based economic paradigm.

هدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على مدى تأثير تحقيق أبعاد الشمول المالي على الأداء المصرفي في فلسطين، وذلك من خلال العمل على وصول واستخدام وانتشار هذه الخدمات وجودتها والمتمثلة في مؤشرات (تطور ودائع العملاء، تطور عدد فروع ومكاتب المصارف، تطور عدد من يملكون حسابات بنكية، تطور عدد بطاقات الصراف الآلي، تطور عدد أجهزة الصرافات الآلية وعدد أجهزة نقاط البيع POS)، وقد تم قياس الأداء المصرفي باستخدام مؤشرات القياس المالية التالية (العائد على الأصول ROA، العائد على حقوق الملكية ROE) حيث تم الاستناد إلى التقارير المالية السنوية والإحصاءات المنشورة الصادرة عن سلطة النقد الفلسطينية والخاصة بالبنوك محل البحث خلال الفترة الزمنية من عام (2001) حتى عام (2021) تشمل فترة ما قبل وما بعد تطبيق أبعاد الشمول المالي في المصارف الفلسطينية، ولأغراض البحث تم استخدام الإختبارات الإحصائية اللازمة في هذا الخصوص وهي نموذج الإنحدار الخطي المتعدد، ونموذج اختبار T-Test. و تم المقارنة بين متوسط البيانات المالية للفترة ما قبل تطبيق الشمول المالي مع متوسط البيانات المالية للفترة بعد تطبيق الشمول المالي. وكان من أهم نتائج الدراسة وجود تأثير لأبعاد تطبيق الشمول المالي على الأداء المصرفي في فلسطين، من حيث وجود نمو وتطور في كافة المؤشرات المصرفية التي انعكس أثرها على زيادة العوائد المصرفية المتحققة وكان النمو للعائد على الأصول والعائد على حقوق الملكية أكبر من النمو للعائد على التسهيلات الائتمانية والعائد على الإستثمار. وأوصت الدراسة بتعزيز عمليات الشمول المالي في فلسطين ووضع الآليات اللازمة لدعم تطبيقه في المصارف بما يتناسب مع تحقيق مكاسب مقبولة للمصارف والعملاء وأصحاب رؤوس الأموال على حد سواء، كما أوصت الدراسة بضرورة اهتمام القطاع المصرفي بتحسين طرق إدارة أموال المودعين من خلال التنويع وابتكار خدمات مصرفية متطورة تواكب مستوى الخدمات المصرفية التي تقدمها البنوك في الدول المتقدمة.
The Effect of Seasonality in the Wholesale Markets of the Tomato Crop on Monthly Prices in Baghdad City during the Period (2014-2019)
Authors: Al-Hiyali A.D.K
Published: November 2022

The research aimed to analyze the seasonality of the data of the monthly wholesale prices of the tomato crop in the city of Baghdad during the period (2014-2019) based on the method of simple means corrected for the Trend. The seasonality of the data was revealed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The research found the presence of seasonal compounds in the tomato crop price data, which confirms that prices are greatly affected by the Season. This is evident from the low prices in the hot seasons due to the high costs of storing it if the merchant tries to keep it and is forced to sell it, in addition to the high production quantities in the summer months. In addition, the extracted seasonal index values ​​indicated the fact that prices were affected by the season through a decrease in the seasonal index values ​​affected by the season, meaning that the results confirmed each other. The research recommended that although prices are affected by seasonality, reliance on production quantities, for example (greenhouses), will make it necessary to prevent the import of the crop at peak times. In addition to the need for production to be balanced between the production of open farms and the production of greenhouses so that it does not affect prices significantly. The research also recommends the availability of accurate data because inaccurate data affects the research results. Finally, work to implement laws that protect farmers and not just legislate them without implementing them.

Published: November 2022

Model SIR merupakan salah satu model deterministik dasar dalam matematika epidemiologi. Sejak diperkenalkan oleh Kermack dan McKendrick, model deterministik terus mengalami perkembangan sesuai dengan karakteristik kasus yang dimodelkan. Perkembangan model deterministik dapat dilihat dari jumlah kompartemen, parameter, maupun teori dasar persamaan modelnya. Saat ini, model deterministik tidak hanya menggunakan persamaan diferensial biasa, namun juga menggunakan persamaan diferensial delay ataupun persamaan diferensial fraksional. Meskipun demikian, dalam beberapa kasus model klasik SIR tetap relevan digunakan untuk memperoleh gambaran penyebaran penyakit. Dalam makalah ini, penulis mengestimasi parameter model SIR menggunakan data Demam Berdarah. Model tersebut menrupakan sistem persamaan diferensial biasa sehingga dalam estimasinya menggunakan metode penyelesaian persamaan diferensial biasa. Dalam hal ini, penulis menggunakan metode Runge Kutta Orde 4. Untuk optimasi nilai errornya, penulis menggunakan salah satu metode heuristik yang terkenal dengan nama algoritma genetika. Algoritm genetika yang digunakan adalah algoritma genetika biner. Selain hasil estimasi, penulis juga memberikan beberapa simulasi untuk melihat pengaruh intervensi terhadap penyebaran demam berdarah.
