Published: March 2024

Kaur 2 Public High School is one of the State Senior High Schools in Kaur District, Bengkulu Province. Communication between teachers or teachers and students or students and students has so far been carried out through text message applications that are already available on users' smartphones so that they exchange information. However, the information sent has not been fully implemented by security, where the message sent is the original message, and the recipient of the original message can read it immediately. This of course makes it easier for certain parties who intend to get the message. An android-based text message encryption and decryption application using the Advanced Encrytion Standard algorithm was created to help maintain security of communication between senders and recipients so that confidentiality is maintained. This application was created using Android Studio and has installed the JSON web service, so that it can be accessed by Android smartphone devices with the internet. Messages that have been sent will be stored in the MySQL database in the form of scrambled records, so it is necessary to do encryption to find out what the contents of the message are, where the Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm is cryptography that uses symmetric keys (encryption and decryption keys must be the same). Based on the results of the tests that have been carried out, the functionality of the android-based text message encryption and decryption application at SMA Negeri 2 Kaur runs well as expected and the message sent between the recipient and the sender is kept confidential because the message is encrypted.

Published: March 2024

Televisi konvensional di era modern ini sudah mulai ditinggalkan. Memuat terlalu banyak iklan, program yang mulai monoton, dan waktu tayang yang tidak fleksibel menjadi beberapa alasan masyarakat meninggalkan televisi konvensional. Kehadiran layanan streaming dengan berbagai fiturnya membuat masyarakat mulai beralih dari televisi konvensional. Fenomena tersebut menimbulkan suatu pertanyaan, apakah beralihnya industri media ke streaming Netflix mampu memberikan kepuasan dalam mendapatkan informasi dan hiburan dibandingkan televisi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui mengapa generasi Z saat ini lebih memilih aplikasi layanan streaming dibandingkan televisi sebagai media untuk memenuhi kebutuhan informasi maupun hiburan. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan sumber data kepustakaan seperti, buku dan artikel jurnal terdahulu. Hasil penelitian menunjukan, media streaming masih belum mampu menjadi pengganti mutlak televisi konvensional dalam memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi konten pengguna. Hal tersebut dipicu oleh masyarakat yang enggan untuk membayar biaya berlangganan Netflix yang tidak murah.

A Pedra Formosa de Briteiros, Formosa Pedra da Vida. Contribuição para o estudo de uma forma construída da cultura castreja
Authors: Oliveira Marta , Garrido de Oliveira Carla
Published: March 2024

A Pedra Formosa de Briteiros é interpretada à luz das formas simbólicas esculpidas no plano, como uma fachada, questionando o seu significado em comparação com outras “pedras formosas” e objetos encontrados nestes monumentos dos Castros. Neste artigo, as observações respeitam ao grupo de edificações distribuídas na região de Minho e Douro, na frente atlântica, que têm sido interpretados como banhos ou saunas, eventualmente (mais recentemente) no contexto de um rito de renascimento de guerreiros. Propomos uma nova hipótese: os monumentos teriam uma função associada à maternidade e ao parto, seriam como ‘maternários’ ou ‘casas de nascimento’. O uso destes espaços seria funcional e ritual, num fundo mitológico; a sua implantação na paisagem é significativa em relação com lugares marcantes do território e dos povoados, e a composição arquitetural dos casos conhecidos denota uma analogia antropomórfica. Esta hipótese dá visibilidade e destaca a representação social da mulher e o papel vital da maternidade, e da fertilidade e vida geradores da comunidade.
O Novo Paradigma Artístico numa Sociedade em Mutação: a Teoria da Arte e a Nova Concepção Imagética no Século XVI
Authors: Desterro Maria Teresa
Published: March 2024

Pretende-se com este artigo demonstrar a alteração do paradigma artístico ocorrida no século XVI, ao qual subjaz a vasta literatura produzida em conformidade. No dealbar de Quinhentos a imagem adquire um novo estatuto fundado sobre a nova concepção da forma, ao mesmo tempo que se opera, sob o signo da beleza na qual se objectiva a nova subjectividade, um distanciamento que rejeita o realismo mais directo do Quattrocento. Para isso contribuiu, de modo decisivo, o recrudecimento do Neoplatonismo e a formulação de uma nova Teoria da Arte, que encontra na obra (artística e poética) de Miguel Ângelo um dos seus pilares, e à qual deu voz em forma de letra Francisco de Holanda, não obstante a pouca difusão dos seus tratados. De acordo com a nova corrente ideológica, os valores da matéria, base de uma cultura fundada sobre a proeminência do objecto, deixam espaço à afirmação de um certo ideal aristocrático que privilegia a diferenciação individual, assim como o regresso em força do imaginário e da afectividade, contrariando o racionalismo exacerbado do classicismo quatrocentista. A estética dominante no Cinquecento, ao afirmar o seu carácter ideal e subjectivo, confere um novo sentido à imagem que será expressão da enfatização estilística atribuída à plasticidade volumétrica e composição espacial.
Segmentation-free Recognition Algorithm Based on Deep Learning for Handwritten Text Image
Authors: Peng Ge
Published: March 2024

Segmentation-based offline handwritten character recognition algorithms suffered from the segmenting difficulty of interleaving and touching in handwritten manuscripts. To tackle the problem, a segmentation-free recognition algorithm based on deep learning network is proposed in this paper. The network consists of four neural layers, including input layer for image preprocessing, CNNs layer for feature extraction, BDLSTM layer for sequence prediction, and connectionist temporal classification layer for text sequence alignment and classification. Besides, a novel data processing method is performed for data length equalization. Based on this, groups of experiments, based on six typical databases, involved in evaluation indicators of character correct rate, training time cost, storage space cost and testing time cost are carried out.  The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performances in accuracy and efficiency than other classical algorithms.

Authors: Onaolapo Akinlolu , Makhasane Sekitla Daniel
Published: March 2024

: Learner indiscipline is a problem in schools worldwide, including Nigeria, which has caused uproar in school management. The problem of indiscipline in Nigerian secondary schools is examined through the lens of the Ubuntu, which is considered appropriate as it allows for an indigenous approach to addressing learner indiscipline. The study adopts an interpretive paradigm within a qualitative framework, focusing on the role of elderly advice in learner discipline management in selected secondary schools in Ado Ekiti, Nigeria. A case study research design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon and management of learner discipline in two different secondary schools. The research involves six heads of department as participants, offering an in-depth exploration of their perspectives and experiences related to the guidance provided by elders in shaping disciplinary practices. The collected data is analysed using thematic analysis. The study reveals the cultural significance of teacher-elderly guidance on learner discipline, the impacts of such guidance on discipline strategies, and the challenges and opportunities in integrating teacher-elderly guidance into education. This study contributes to scholarship by contextualising the significance of teacher-elderly guidance as a unique way of managing learner discipline in secondary schools
On ‘Making Nothing Happen’: The Apophatic Power of Poetry and the Poetic Power of Silence
Authors: Mann Rachel
Published: March 2024

This essay suggests that the apophatic mode of theology and spirituality is especially well illuminated when brought into conversation with poetry’s rhetorical power to make ‘no-thing’ happen. By attending to poetry’s theological horizons, especially by what Michael Symmons Roberts calls poetry’s ’semi-sacred role’ and its capacity to embody silence and space, I shall suggest that it is possible to come to a richer understanding of God’s transcendent elusiveness.
Unveiling Luminous Lyα Emitters at z ≈ 6 through JWST/NIRCam Imaging in the COSMOS Field

Published: March 2024

We study a sample of 14 spectroscopically confirmed Lyα emitters (LAEs) in the late era of reionization (at redshift z ≈ 6) based on the JWST/NIRCam imaging data set. These LAEs with high Lyα luminosity of L(Lyα) ∼1042.4–1043.4 erg s−1 have been covered by the (ongoing) COSMOS-Web survey over 0.28 deg2 in four NIRCam bands (F115W, F150W, F277W, and F444W). With JWST/NIRCam imaging, we determine the UV continua with M
UV ranging from −20.5 to −18.5 mag. The UV slopes have a median value of β ≈ −2.35, and the steepest slopes can reach β < −3. Under the excellent spatial resolution of JWST, we identify three objects in the sample as potential merging/interacting systems. The 14 LAEs (and their components) are compact in morphology, residing substantially below the mass–size relation of high-z galaxies. We further investigate their physical properties, including the stellar mass (M
*) and star formation rates (SFRs). Most of the LAEs lie on the SFR–M
* main-sequence relation, while two of them, featured as “little red dots,” likely host active galactic nuclei (AGNs), implying a ∼10% AGN fraction. Moreover, we reveal that a new correlation may exist between Lyα equivalent width and the offset between Lyα and UV emission (Δd
Lyα
), with a median Δd
Lyα
∼ 1 kpc. This could be explained by the Lyα radiative transfer process in both the interstellar medium and circumgalactic medium. The results usher in a new era of detailed analysis on high-z LAEs with the JWST capability.

Authors: Pradana Aditya Trias , Ritthidej Garnpimol C. , Limprasutr Vudhiporn , Wongtayan Ausana , Lipipun Vimolmas , Iksen
Published: March 2024

Asiatic acid (AA) is a compound isolated from Centella asiatica, which possesses significant antihypertensive activity. Several studies have shown that its hypertensive activity can be attributed to various mechanisms, such as Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme (ACE) inhibition in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) pathway. Meanwhile, palm oil (PO) is an antioxidant, which has proven to have synergistic effects with the compound by preventing arterial thrombosis and atherosclerosis. Despite these synergistic effects, AA dosage in antihypertensive therapy has been reported to be relatively high compared to the common synthetic drug captopril. Therefore, this study aimed to produce spray-dried powder of nanoemulsion to enhance the solubility of AA, decrease the possibility of oxidation, and increase its activity. Redispersed AA nanoparticles were also successfully obtained during the synthesis process. Several evaluations were carried out, including particle size, particle distribution, zeta potential, cell viability, and antihypertensive activity in rats to ensure the improvement of physicochemical characteristics and activity as antihypertensive agent. The results showed that AA succeeded in forming nanoemulsion with excipients. In addition, it was encapsulated in a maltodextrin carrier, exhibiting good physicochemical characteristics and safety to the Caco-2 cells. The redispersion of the spray-dried powder yielded nanoparticles with a size of 217.4 ± 10.196 nm. The spray-dried nanoemulsion of AA also had faster effect than non-formulated AA (raw powder) in lowering the blood pressure of hypertensive Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.

The emergence of the technological age has redefined communication, goods, and services based on the advent of technological advancement in contemporary times. This cuts across all sectors as the workforce adopts and adjusts to the demands of reskilling to comfortably fit into the digital economy, which prompts organizations to embrace technological advancements to improve goods and services in order to maximize profits and reduce costs. More so, despite its enormous profitability, there are also consequences presented based on gaps in skill sets to match the demands. It is based on this premise that this chapter examines reskilling the workforce for technological advancement by recognizing the prospects and implications for health information management professionals who play a focal role within the health service ecosystem. The theory of skill acquisition was used to underpin the chapter, and the chapter is expected to offer benefits to policies, practices, society, the skill gap, and theory based on a developing country's perspective.
Blockchain-Based Authentication for the Internet of Vehicles (BBA-IoV)
Authors: Zehra Rida
Published: March 2024

IoV has become an appealing application that can provide a wide range of mobile services for drivers. In order to mitigate traffic congestion and reduce the occurrence of accidents, vehicles can be provided with up-to-date information regarding the location, trajectory, speed, and other relevant details of adjacent vehicles. Such an open environment leaves a lot of room for malicious nodes to pass falsified and tampered information. Due to the potential relevance and sensitivity of the information, IoV must address the security and privacy concerns in the network. In this chapter, they propose an efficient IoV-based decentralised authentication mechanism based on the blockchain named BBA- IoV to ensure secure node communication. This method requires the exchange of keys to encrypt communication. From performance analysis, they show that this approach protects communication against several attacks such as Sybil, GPS spoofing, tampering, and fabrication attacks.

In this study, the influence of operating parameters on the relative density and microhardness property of a septenary equiatomic Ti-Al-Cr-Nb-Ni-Cu-Co high entropy alloy developed via spark plasma sintering (SPS) process was investigated at constant heating rate (100 °C/min), dwell time (5 min), pressure (50 MPa). Using response surface methodology (RSM) on the sintering temperature (ST) and milling time (MT) as the process variable parameters, a predictive model was established. The design of experiment approach was employed to minimize numbers of runs of experiment, which invariably eliminates trial by error associated with traditional experimental methods. MT and ST were taken as the variables towards the development of the design model. The optimum operating parameters were predicted using the user-defined design (UDD) under RSM and the result was validated through experiments. Observation from the results shows that MT and ST play a significant role in achieving high densification, which translates to high hardness. At 900 °C ST and MT of 10 hours, the highest hardness value of 580.1 HV, densification of 99.98%, and percentage porosity of 0.02% were recorded.
