As Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANC) contribuem para uma alimentação saudável e saúde das pessoas, devido serem um rico aporte nutricional. É imprescindível divulgar e incluir essas espécies nas refeições dos brasileiros, com o intuito de incrementar e diversificar o consumo de vegetais, resgatar a tradição cultural e por se constituir em uma nova fonte de renda. Entre as PANC, o peixinho se destaca por possuir sabor e aroma inusitados, semelhantes à de peixes como o lambari, ser inovação alimentar para os vegetarianos, veganos e plant based, além da diversificação culinária; empanado frito ou assado, refogado e em recheios afins. A planta peixinho possui potencial funcional por apresentar em sua constituição, compostos bioativos; os fenólicos e carotenoides, propriedades antioxidante, antibacteriana e anti-inflamatória, conter ferro, potássio, cálcio e fibras, cujo consumo regular pode estar associado ao bem-estar e à melhoria das Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNT). O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento da população sobre as Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais, com destaque para o peixinho Stachys byzantina. A pesquisa foi realizada, por meio, de um questionário aplicado on-line, a 192 participantes, contendo 14 questões de cunho interrogativo e informativo, elaborado na plataforma do Google Forms. Baseando-se nos resultados deste estudo, ficou evidente a falta de informação e divulgação das PANC em geral, com destaque para o peixinho a espécie escolhida na pesquisa. Verifica-se que os entrevistados, após serem informados ao longo das questões sobre as peculiaridades nutricional, medicinal e funcional; bem como, formas de consumo e finalidade da PANC peixinho, demonstraram-se dispostos a incluí-las na alimentação. No entanto, há necessidades de mais estudos científicos e divulgação, dessas hortaliças não convencionais, pelos canais de comunicação e disponibilidade em grandes centros comerciais.

Authors: Lucas Junior Carlito José , Assuncao Gilcilene Vieira , Quinan Paulo Victor Monteiro , Vieira Thiago dos Santos
Published: January 2023

A meningite é a inflamação das membranas que recobrem o tecido encefálico, a dura máter, a pia máter e a aracnoide, especificamente a maior parte do cérebro e a medula espinhal. Tal processo geralmente decorre da presença de uma infecção prévia que alcança os tecidos encefálicos, e é mais comum nos extremos de idade, sendo, por motivos imunológicos e estruturais, mais prevalente na faixa pediátrica. Em adultos, acomete principalmente os idosos. Em todo caso, é uma doença com potencial de gravidade, tanto pelas sequelas que podem advir do comprometimento do tecido cerebral subjacente, quanto pela elevada taxa de mortalidade. A morbimortalidade, aliás, é ainda mais importante nos casos em que há o desenvolvimento de complicações locais ou sistêmicas, tais como distúrbios da coagulação, empiema, hipertensão intracraniana, herniação cerebral, convulsões, septicemia e falência orgânica genealizada. Os pacientes que sobrevivem podem ter sua qualidade de vida reduzida por sequelas importantes.A relativa raridade da meningite em adultos, ainda mais com complicações, torna desafiadora uma compreensão científica ampla sobre sua epidemiologia, sua história natural e seu processo fisiopatológico. Tendo tudo isso em vista, o objetivo do presente trabalho é indicar os números da meningite bacteriana em idosos nos últimos 10 anos no estado de Goiás, estabelecendo um comparativo com a literatura mais atual.

Some Structural Properties of the Generalized Kumaraswamy (GKw) $q_T-X$ Class of Distributions
Authors: Ampadu Clement Boateng
Published: January 2023

Ampadu [1] introduced quantile generated probability distributions as a new way to generate continuous distributions. Combining this idea with the two-parameter Kumaraswamy (Kw) distribution, for example, see Wikipedia contributors [15], this paper introduces a so-called (GKw) $q_T-X$ class of distributions, and obtains some of their structural properties. Practicality of sub-models of this new class of distributions is shown to be effective in modeling real life data. Practicality to various disciplines is proposed as further investigation. A bivariate extension of this new class of distribution is also proposed, and the reader is asked to investigate its properties and applications.

Can a Materialistic Philosophy Produce a Moral System? "Epicurean Model"
Authors: El far Georg
Published: January 2023

The main problem in this research was the answer to the question posed about the possibility of the existence of an ethical system based on a materialistic philosophy and not on an idealistic and metaphysical philosophy as was customary in establishing ethical systems. It has nothing to do with idealism or metaphysics. Rather, Democritus adopts the atomic materialist philosophy as its theoretical basis and does not depend on reason or divine laws as a criterion and judgment in moral issues, but rather nature, the sense of pleasure and the avoidance of pain as a spontaneous judgment of human and animal life alike. Herefore, this philosophy resorts to liberating man from the fear of death and the fear of the gods, so that this fear and anxiety do not spoil human life and deprive him of enjoying life itself. We have revealed in this research that the pleasure that the Epicureans are talking about is mainly the pleasure of the stomach, but it is not a reckless and exaggerated pleasure, but rather a pleasure that seeks simplicity and seeks to establish a calm life that is not disturbed by the pain resulting from the pursuit of more pleasures, the results of which are greater pain. The Greek philosopher Epicurus, who lived in the fourth century BC and a contemporary of both the Greek philosopher Aristotle and the philosopher Zeno, the founder of Stoicism that opposed his philosophical school, had established Epicureanism in Athens, Greece, to respond to the questions of the Greek public about the necessities of the historical stage and the decline of civilization after the death of AlexanderMacedonian in 324 BC.

Published: January 2023

This paper aims to investigate the properties of aluminum-based composite Al2O3/SiC ceramics using new severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods and the finite element method. This research work also focused on the accuracy of the simulation results in manufacturing reinforced Al2O3/SiC ceramic. The latest method was developed by repetitive press-roll forming (RPRF) for processing ceramic-reinforced composite materials. The simulations were carried out to validate the experimental results of the strength testing conducted for composites with the hybrid reinforcement by having ultimate tensile strength (UTS) values that correspond to 123 N/mm2, 130 N/mm2, and 124 N/mm2 for the hybrid composites of two layers, four layers, and six layers, respectively. This is the best result among processes developed, such as accumulative roll bonding (ARB). The experimental results prove that the SPD of the RPRF process can significantly increase the UTS and hardness values in aluminum matrix-based composites type AA1100/5052. Samples with SiC reinforcements have the highest mechanical properties compared to the other reinforcements (Hybrid and Al2O3), with a resulting UTS value of 163 MPa and a resulting hardness value of 46.42 HV. The application of this experiment is a plate matrix attached where the surface of the end face is sprinkled with ceramic Al2O3/SiC material as reinforcement.
BANK REGULATION AND STABILITY: LESSON LEARNED FROM THE INDONESIAN BANKING SECTOR
Authors: Danarsari Dwi Nastiti , Viverita Viverita
Published: January 2023

This study aims to investigate the impact of bank regulations on bank stability. This study holds crucial significance in Indonesia’s long regulation journey within a bank-based economy to maintain stability in various business cycles, including the Asian financial crisis. Additionally, although the capitalization of the Indonesian banking sector is the highest among the G-20 countries, the capitalization of these more than 100 banks varies widely and is concentrated among large banks. Thus, it is necessary to implement the capital requirement policy meticulously. This study examines the impact of bank regulations in terms of capital requirement and bank capitalization on bank stability using a sample of Indonesian commercial banks and employs a dynamic panel regression. We expect to improve from the previous study by using the research period from 2001 to 2019 that captures different business cycles, analyzing three of Indonesia’s bank regulations, and providing further analysis by incorporating the role of bank market power and size in the relationship between bank capital and bank stability. The results show that capital discipline implemented in the capital requirements significantly supports bank stability. Furthermore, the findings show that low-to-middle capitalization banks are associated with weak bank stability in terms of solvency. However, low-capitalized banks tend to be more prudent in granting credit, so exposure to credit risk is low. Moreover, this study reveals that market power and size strengthen the impact of capital on bank stability. However, such an influence should be accompanied by intense supervision to avoid credit risk exposure.
ASSESSING CREDIT RISK AND LENDING PATTERNS IN THE NIGERIAN BANKING SECTOR

Published: January 2023

This article aimed to assess credit risk and lending patterns in the Nigerian banking sector. It collected secondary data in yearly time series from 2007 to 2020 to analyze nonperforming loans, liquid reserves to asset ratio, capital-to-asset ratio, domestic credit, and exchange rate and their effects on the Nigerian lending rate. The constructed and analyzed model was estimated via the least square technique to achieve its goals. The findings of this research reveal a beneficiary influence of nonperforming loans, capital-to-asset ratio, and the exchange rate on the bank lending rate. While liquid reserves to asset ratio and domestic credit exhibit inverse relation with the lending rate. Hence, the relationship between nonperforming loans, liquid reserves to asset ratio and domestic credit are statistically significant with the lending rate. Capital-to-asset ratio and exchange rate exhibit an insignificant correlation with the lending rate. The research suggests that private individuals and business entities should exercise caution when taking out loans and ensure that the total amount borrowed is sufficient to cover all of their needs. Banks must use caution when making loans; the prime motive for lending money should not be merely to make a profit. Credit risk is considered substantial; banks need to lower the nonperforming loan portfolio, and by this, both banks and their clients will experience great benefits.

AN EXPERIMENTAL TESTBED PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FOR VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORK (VANET)
Authors: Yogarayan Sumendra , Razak Siti Fatimah Abdul , Azman Afizan
Published: January 2023

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are essential components of a smart city environment owing to some safety-enhancing applications. The use of VANETs extends from safety applications such as accident warning and collision avoidance to entertainment applications such as streaming video or comfort applications such as parking spot identification. Besides, these applications require interconnecting, for example, by enabling vehicles to communicate with other vehicles. Thus, the flow of information between different vehicles requires implementing a suitable transmission route. This paper aims to use VANETs to empower vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and V2I communication through a network that does not need infrastructure. In this paper, we propose to utilize proactive routing protocols such as OLSR, BATMAN, and BABEL and present their performance via a developed testbed. The performance is compared based on two different positionings, multi-hop, and full mesh, using metrics such as throughput and packet loss. The proposed approach demonstrates that BABEL outperforms both the OLSR and BATMAN in both positionings. This research highlights the need to select the appropriate routing protocol for VANETs and evaluate their performance, which will be significant for widespread deployment.

Published: January 2023

Flood, erosion, and sedimentation have become classic problems in the river. The two main parameters that significantly affect the phenomenon of flood are flow and sediment. Flood and sediment transport cause aggradation and degradation of the river bed, bring the bad influence to the construction in the river and environment. Therefore, it becomes important to conduct the manipulation of flood control channel profile in the selected area of Special Economic Area (KEK) that is Likupang, Pantai Pulisan. This research intends to obtain the design of channel shape and dimension for controlling the disasters that are influenced by the factors of environment, water resources, and climate change. One of the urgent factors in this research is to produce a design/recommendation for minimizing the negative impact that is triggered by floods and sediment transport, so it causes the disaster of geology and ecology. To reach the research aim, we carried out the survey of the existing conditions for determining the suitability of the analysis that will be used. The dimension of rainfall and watershed characteristics becomes the input in the HEC-HMS software for obtaining the design flood. Additionally, there is carried out the measurement/mapping of the river geometry. This is used in the application of HEC-RAS that will simulate the real-time flow condition in the field. Based on the analysis results of the flood control channel profile manipulation, there is obtained the dimension of multi-stage trapezoid channel with an upper width (La) of 10 m, lower width (Lb) of 1 m, and depth (h) of 3 m that can flow the design flood in amount of 36.5 m3/s (Q25). This information is a recommendation/reference in determining the management method of the environment and water resources in the Special Economy Area (EK) in the Likupang tourism-Pantai Pulisan as a super-priority tourism destination in making effort of disaster mitigation that is influenced by the factors of environment, water resources, and climate change.

Published: January 2023

The study aimed to investigate the optical properties of thin films made of polyethylene oxide dispersed with dopants of a fixed amount of iodine (0.1 wt %). The films prepared by the casting method were optically investigated as a function of the iodine fillers. The study used a UV-visible spectrophotometer technique with a wavelength ranging from (200 to 800) nm and determined the absorption coefficient, refractive index, energy gap, extinction coefficient, optical conductivity, and dielectric constant in the UV-visible wavelength range. The results showed a noticeable change in these optical values with polyethylene oxide doped with 0.1 wt% iodine composites compared with the pure polyethylene oxide films. These measured values of polyethylene oxide doped with 0.1 wt% iodine depend on the wavelength of the incident ultraviolet light.

This paper aims to prove that every two-dimensional real absolute valued algebra is isomorphic to C〖,C〗^*,*C, or C┴*, and if the algebra A is power commutative, then A is the third power associative. Let A be real pre-Hilbert algebra without divisors of zero; we prove that if A has dimension two and satisfying,‖a^2 ‖=‖a‖^2 for all a ∈ A then A is isomorphic to new classes of two-dimensional pre-Hilbert algebras. We also characterize the pre-Hilbert algebraic algebras without divisors of zero and containing a nonzero central idempotent f such that ‖fa‖=‖a‖ and ‖a^2 ‖≤‖a‖^2, to be flexible algebras. Furthermore, we prove that if A contains a nonzero central idempotent f such that ‖fa‖=‖a‖ and ‖a^2 ‖≤‖a‖^2 for all a in A, then these statements are equivalent: A is power commutative, A is the third power associative, A is algebraic of degree two.

Information technology highly contributes to the citizen's behavior in financial transactions. Bank clients intended to use a mobile banking service as a solution to conduct bank transactions during COVID-19 in Indonesia. Therefore, this article aims to describe a new idea for predicting the intention to use mobile banking with trust as an extension of the technology acceptance model. This study used a survey questionnaire administered to individuals who are non-user of mobile banking services and found 142 valid responses. SmartPLS for structural equation modeling was used to test the relationship's importance levels between each construct. The proposed model contributes 53.4% to improving mobile banking adoption among bank clients. This study's findings proved that perceived ease of use and usefulness are the critical factors influencing the intention to use mobile banking. However, trust does not show its moderation effect. The implications of this study show that perceived ease of use plays a vital role in growing the intention of bank clients to use mobile banking. The study suggests that financial institutions are expected to provide detailed instructions for operating mobile banking. The menu provided in mobile banking services is also beneficial for bank clients. This study contributes to the factors that play an important role in supporting mobile banking service adoption among Indonesian bank clients.

The largest companies worldwide face the challenge of differentiating the amount to pay as a dividend and the amount to retain for internal use. This study, therefore, aims to examine the main determinants of dividend policies of oil and gas firms in Nigeria. The primary study objective was to study how determinants like earnings, liquidity, state of the economy, and total assets of the companies significantly impact the dividend payout ratio of listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Ten listed oil and gas companies were selected, and secondary data were gathered from their financial statements from 2010 to 2020. The fixed effect and the random effect regression analysis estimated the data, while other post-estimation techniques, such as the Hausman test, were used to select between the fixed and random effect panel regression that was the best fit for the study. The Hausman test selected the fixed effect regression. Therefore, findings from the fixed effect regression showed that earnings and the state of the economy were positively significant in impacting the dividend payout ratio. Total assets were negatively significant, while liquidity was insignificant, affecting the dividend payout ratio. The study recommended, among others, that Nigerian oil and gas firms should build and manage their total assets effectively and efficiently, as this would determine and influence their dividend policy decisions.

Many studies have demonstrated that Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks can detect human behavior due to the development of wireless devices and detecting methodologies. Human activity recognition applied Channel State Information (CSI) in commercial Wi-Fi devices, which has many practical applications. This paper aims to present a method for recognizing human activity that uses enhanced Wi-Fi-based CSI signals. At first, researchers examined how various perceptive antennas detect motion caused by humans. The proposed algorithm for selecting antennas considers the sensitivity of each antenna concerning the task at hand. Long short-term memory (LSTM) and Inception Time-based classification model was developed and fine-tuned for experiments. This study also suggested two basic power methods to retrieve the effective interval associated with human activity, one of which can solidify the active signals while weakening the inactive signals. Last but not least, an algorithm has been developed for segmenting activity to identify initiation and termination times. An efficient outliers removal technique was used to remove the edges. The results show that using commonplace Wi-Fi routers can accurately categorize human actions 87% of the time. To validate and evaluate these methods, immense experiments were conducted in exquisite indoor environments. As demonstrated by experiments, the proposed methods can mitigate the disturbance caused by inert and non-responsive signals and enhance accuracy rates while improving efficiency and processing time.

This article compares hardware and digital wallets, a new technology method for storing cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and Ethereum. The crypto wallets reside on a user’s computer or mobile device or can reside on a flash drive, as in the case of hardware wallets. The comparison method used is based on the security and integrity of both types of wallets. Additionally, the authors will look at the most important factors that should ensure a high level of social acceptability of the new hardware and digital wallets. The use of digital wallets manifests itself in various ways. The ease of use of being able to complete a transaction in a matter of seconds. The speed with which the transactions are executed reflects the efficiency. This paper discusses the current state of digital wallets on the market, better options for purchasing and using digital wallets, digital wallet security, and future trends in their development, and concludes that both cryptocurrency wallets have advantages and drawbacks. However, hardware wallets are much more secure, but their capabilities are confined. A software wallet is much more convenient to use than a hardware wallet because it can be connected at any time. This novel investigation shows that both wallets are very secure and appropriate for use, as the additional costs of Hardware wallets are minor compared to the costs of paying with actual cash.

The interaction among financial and precious metals in various markets is a furthermost interesting matter for investors. The fluctuation in prices in one market may influence the price index of the other market. Gold prices have widespread economic effects on different financial activities. These effects are directly specious in all financial decisions adopted by investors. This study aims to check whether bank stock return (SRB) and insurance stock return (SRI) have significant effects on the gold price (GOP). We employ the Autoregressive Distributed Lag co-integration to test the long–run association between the SRB, SRI, and GOP. The study reveals that the SRB and SRI have no long-run effect on the gold price. Only one unidirectional causal relationship exists between stock returns in the bank sector and gold prices; results designate that a one percent increase in stock returns in banks would lead to a decrease of 984% in the gold price.

Bay laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) is an agriculturally important tree used in the food, drugs, and the cosmetics industry. Many of the health beneficial properties of bay laurel are due to the volatile terpene metabolites that they contain, including various norisoprenoids. In this study, chemical composition of essential oils of all parts of Laurus Nobilis L. traded as spice and medicinal items were analyzed by a novel method of analysis called liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based approaches are widely used for the identification and quantitation. A total of 17 compounds accounting between 0.30 and 96% of the total essential oil were identified in leaves, branches, and roots of the freshly collected bay-laurel planted in the northern area of Jordan. Qualitative and quantitative differences in the indicators were found among essential oils obtained from bay leaves, branches, and roots. The oxygenated compounds were the principal fraction in all analyzed essential oils. The oxygenated of monoterpenes and Isoquercitrin was found to be equal to 96.51% in leaves, 93.5% in branches, and 88% in roots. Spiraeoside was found to be equal to 65% in leaves, 63% in roots, and 39% in branches. The highest content of Meta-Vitexin (22 %) was found in branches, whereas the highest content of Catechin (15 %) was found in roots. The fruit contains up to 30% fatty oils and about 1% essential oils (terpenes, sesquiterpenes, alcohols, and ketones). It was found that leaves had the most percentage of essential oils, which made uses of leaves as medical and a spice worldwide, with aromatic, stimulant and narcotic properties, rather than branches or roots.
