Published: November 2023

Lengkungan (Arch) Ornamen adalah salah satu elemen yang muncul secara tipikal di bangunan Arsitektur Islam. Secara visual Lengkungan (Arch) merupakan fitur dekoratif penting yang ditransmisikan dari dekorasi arsitektural yang berbentuk seni dekorasi kedalam bangunan dan merupakan unsur tipologi dekoratif bagunan Arsitektur Islam. Pada periode awal Islam, umat Islam juga menerima pengaruh dari banyak peradaban, dan para ahli bangunan melakukan eksplorasi Arsitektur Islam yang saling mempengaruhi satu sama lain seperti Ottoman dan Renaisans.  Lengkungan (arch) adalah elemen arsitektur penting sejak awal peradaban islam. Tipikal elemen Lengkungan bisa terlihat pada bangunan arsitektur islam baik untuk dinding, jendela, pintu, arcade hingga penutup atap seperti kubah, maupun minaret. lengkungan (Arch) juga seringkali menutupi bangunan dengan bentang besar maupun kecil.  Lengkungan (Arch) bahkan muncul di peradaban Mesopotamia, Indus, Mesir, Babilonia, Yunani, dan Asyur. Bahkan Bangsa Romawi menerapkan teknik ini ke berbagai struktur bangunan. Penggunaan dan desainnya lengkungan selain digunakan untuk tujuan struktural dan fungsional juga untuk memenuhi tujuan dekoratif dan simbolik dari Arsitektur Islam itu sendiri. Sehingga Elemen Lengkungan kemudian digunakan di semua jenis bangunan Arsitektur islam namun paling umum berada di arcade dan kubah. Makalah ini membahas proses asimilasi lengkungan sebagai ornamen Arsitektur islam yang tipikal. Tulisan ini juga mengulas perkembangan dan pengaruh Elemen Lengkung pada bangunan Arsitektur Islam, mengulas histori, kekuatan struktur, dan keindahan Elemen Lengkung pada Arsitektur islam.

Published: November 2023

Wilayah RW. XII Kelurahan Merjosari Kota Malang berada pada daerah yang padat rumah tinggal, rumah kos, warung serta memiliki populasi penduduk yang semakin meluas seiring dengan tuntutan kebutuhan layanan publik yang lebih baik. Permasalahan utama yang muncul adalah terbatasnya lahan bagi warga menggelar acara hajatan pribadi maupun kegiatan bersama yang akhirnya memanfaatkan jalan umum lingkungan, serta ketiadaan fasilitas PAUD yang sangat dibutuhkan masyarakat. Menanggapi hal tersebut, upaya yang dilakukan masyarakat adalah melalui usulan perancangan Gedung Serbaguna. Keterbatasan dalam hal pendanaan, luasan lahan dan tuntutan kebutuhan ruangan yang cukup banyak menuntut penerapan desain ruang multi fungsi pada proses perancangannya. Gedung serbaguna merupakan bangunan yang bersifat penunjang dimana tidak beroperasional rutin setiap hari, dengan desain ruangan yang bersifat multi fungsi dapat dilakukan optimasi kebutuhan jenis ruangan dalam keterbatasan lahan yang ada. Ruangan-ruangan dengan luasan dan sifat yang hampir sama dapat dikelompokkan dalam satu ruangan, dimana operasionalnya dapat dilakukan secara bergantian. Tentunya hal tersebut perlu diakomodasi dengan rancangan arsitektural yang baik dan fungsional, serta mempertimbangkan efisiensi pemilihan material dan struktur bangunan.

AI Assisted Electrical Distribution System Design
Authors: Mahar Thomas
Published: November 2023

We find that traditional GNNs are not well suited to learning on utility-scale power distribution graphs due to typical attributes of power distribution systems such as: their large size and low density, their heterophilic nature, and the long paths between nodes along which information must travel. Herein we outline a novel inductive GNN architecture which has been optimized for learning on power distribution graphs and which can pass information efficiently across the graph. We also demonstrate the performance of this algorithm by applying it to ComEd's data as part of a practical use-case, and we benchmark our algorithm's performance on this data versus other well-known GNN architectures.

Decentralized Confidential Secure Certified Notification System Using Rejectable Identity Tokens and Identity based Cryptography
Authors: Imam Mohsin
Published: November 2023

The use of blockchain technology in various ecommerce applications, such as the establishment of certified notifications, has emerged. This particular service enables a user, assuming the role of a sender, to substantiate the transmission of specific data to a recipient. By leveraging blockchain technology, we can capitalize on its transparent and decentralized nature to ensure the genuineness and integrity of notifications. Our proposal is the deployment of Soulbound tokens (SBTs), which are unique NonFungible Tokens (NFTs) incapable of being transferred or traded to other users. Additionally, we enhance the ERC721 standard to encompass the functionality where the recipient has the option to decline a token, enabling selective acceptance of SBTs. By representing certified notifications as Rejectable SBTs (RejSBT), we establish a mechanism to monitor instances when a sender dispatches a notification and when the recipient acknowledges it, offering both non repudiation of origin (NRO) and reception (NRR) verifications. Once the recipient accepts the RejSBT signifying ownership of a notification, we employ Identitybased Cryptography to facilitate the owner's decryption of the confidential information encoded within the RejSBT.

Published: November 2023

To investigate the effect of some pulsing and holding solutions on the quality of carnation cv. Turbo cut flowers, a laboratory experiment was conducted in the Agricultural Research Center and Cairo University, Egypt during 2020 and 2021 seasons. In this regard distilled water, silver thiosulfate (STS) at 0.4 ppm + sucrose 10% (PS1) and AgNO3 at 10.0 ppm + sucrose 10% (PS2) were employed as a pulsing solution for 15 min while distilled water, sucrose 4% (HS1), boric acid (BoA) at 200 ppm + sucrose 4% (HS2), 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate (8-HQS) at 300 ppm + sucrose 4% (HS3), Amino-oxyacetic acid (AOA) at 250 ppm + sucrose 4% (HS4), 8-HQS + AOA + sucrose 4% (HS5), BoA + 8-HQS + sucrose 4% (HS6), BoA + AOA + sucrose 4% (HS7), BoA + 8-HQS + AOA + sucrose 4% (HS8), rosemary extract at 25% + sucrose 2% (HS9) and thyme extract at 25% + sucrose 2% (HS10) were used as holding solutions. Regarding pulsing solutions, PS2 and PS1 exhibited a positive effect on all studied traits, while the mastery was to HS8 concerning the effect of holding solutions. Pulsing cut carnations in a solution containing PS2 followed by holding in HS8 resulted in the highest values in terms of vase life, water balance, chlorophyll a, carotenoids and total sugars, while the highest water uptake and loss and chlorophyll b were obtained by pulsing in PS1 followed by holding in HS8. It is recommended to pulse carnation cv. Turbo cut flowers in AgNO3 at 10.0 ppm + sucrose 10% solution for 15 min followed by holding in BoA + 8-HQS + AOA + sucrose 4% for getting the longest vase life, enhancing water uptake and maintaining water balance. Additionally, this preservative solution effectively reduces chlorophyll degradation and preserves the content of carbohydrates throughout the postharvest period.

Published: November 2023

Monetary policy typically focused on economic performance, price stability, and external balance (Balance of Payments Equilibrium), among other things. The study's goal is to look at how banks contribute to Nigeria's economic performance through lending. The study used an econometric method to examine the impacts of monetary policy on bank lending contributions to economic performance, using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF), unit root test, and regression analysis as estimation techniques. Broad money supply, monetary policy rate, prime lending rate, and inflation rate were used as monetary policy indicators, whereas real gross domestic product was used as an economic performance metric. The information utilized came from the Nigerian Central Bank's Statistical Bulletin and the National Bureau of Statistics. Statistical evidence from the result regression outcome revealed that banks’ lending, money supply, monetary policy rate have positive contributions to economic performance in Nigeria while inflation rate contributed positively but insignificant to economic performance in Nigeria during the studied period. The result findings further strengthen and accommodate more investment and lucrative projects into the economy which on the long run will provide job creation, reduce unemployment, reduce poverty level and contribute to the economic development of Nigeria if put onto use. The study therefore concluded that monetary policy has positive contributions to banks’ lending towards Nigeria economic performance. It was recommended that the CBN needs to supervise thoroughly the banks’ activities to enable them comply with all the legal regulatory frameworks and monetary policies. Not that alone, the design of monetary policy and its implementation should be made in such a way that the conflict of target is avoided.

Authors: Kamboj Sumit , Thusoo Varun
Published: November 2023

Background: For patients undergoing surgery for peritrochanteric fractures, blood loss is a big issue. The purpose of this study was to see if tranexamic acid (TXA) could reduce postoperative blood loss in individuals who had hip surgery for peritrochanteric fracture. Methods: A total of 69 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients are randomly divided into two groups. Group A patients received 200 mL (1 g) of TXA intravenously before peritrochanter surgery and Group B patients did not receive an injection of TXA. Haemoglobin and hematocrit values were measured preoperatively and postoperatively at days 1 and 3. Visible and hidden blood loss volumes were calculated on postoperative day 3. Results: The blood transfusion rate was reduced significantly in patients by injecting tranexamic acid before surgery. However, mean haemoglobin and hematocrit levels were not significantly different between patients who received injection tranexamic acid and those who did not receive injection tranexamic acid. Conclusion: TXA significantly reduced postoperative blood loss in patients with Peritrochanteric fractures who underwent surgery.

Authors: Kafwimbi Stefan , Munsanje Foster , Sichone James Maimbo , Sutherland Oliver , Munsaka Sody M.
Published: November 2023

Background: The international commission on radiation protection (ICRP) publican 135 recommends that Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) should be tied to defined technical and patient parameters for the imaging task. Whereas for computed tomography (CT) examinations, DRLs are defined in terms of two established technical parameters namely, Volume-based Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol) and Dose Length Product (DLP), a debate has ensued as to whether patient size, age and weight or clinical indication should be used as patient parameters. The objective of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) is to assist in the optimisation of radiation dose to the patients while maintaining diagnostic image quality. It is generally accepted that each country requires having national DRLs to guide the practice of radiography regarding dose optimization as a prerequisite to good radiation protection practice. Objective: This review aimed to establish commonly used approaches to establishing national diagnostic reference levels for computed tomography. Methods: A systematic literature search in databases containing leading journals in radiography, radiology and medical physics was performed aided by the use of carefully selected search terms that relate to CT and DRLs. The literature search was achieved by the use of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) flow chart. A total of 109 studies were screened out of which 54 were excluded and 55 sought for retrieval. After further assessment for quality, 20 studies were included in this study for review. Key Findings: 95% of the studies in this review used CTDIvol and DLP as technical parameters indicating dose. 70% of the studies reviewed used patient size, age and weight while 30% used clinical indication as patient parameters. 30% of the reviewed articles did indicate that the surveys to establish NDRLs employed a retrospective approach, while 35% employed a prospective approach and 35% did ..

Network packet classification plays an important role in modern networks irrespective of host or network-based classification, serving as the foundation for efficient routing, malicious activity detection, and security enforcement. With the continuous growth of network traffic volume and complexity, traditional static rule-based classification methods have faced difficulties in scalability and adaptability. As a solution, the study decided to enforce machine learning techniques to tackle these challenges effectively. This study presents an extensive and original review of machine learning- based approaches for network packet classification. The smart Intrusion Detection System framework with network packet classification evolution looks forward to designing and deploying security systems that use various parameters for analysing current and dynamic traffic trends and are highly time-efficient in predicting intrusions. Various machine learning algorithms commonly employed in packet classification, such as decision trees, support vector machines, and neural networks are analysed and their merits and demerits are compared with their behaviour and accuracy percentage in this study. machine learning-based techniques offer an efficient and accurate network packet classification for the protection of the systems when compared to the conventional methods of packet classification. By leveraging the power of machine learning algorithms and intelligent feature selection, network administrators and Security Operation Center (SOC) analyst can enhance network performance, improve security, and the robustness of the log generated in the network.

Published: November 2023

Malawi and India improved their bilateral ties during the presidency of Bingu wa Muthalika that run from 2004 to 2012. Thus in 2007 Malawi opened its resident mission in New Delhi, followed by the re-opening of Indias diplomatic mission in Lilongwe in 2012. Several critical junctures pushed Bingu wa Muthalika, president of Malawi then, to resurrect diplomatic engagement with India. The notable critical junctures being the lust for accelerated economic growth and the weaning off of trust by the western traditional donors due to registered human rights violations that engulfed his regime. Bingu chose India for the enhanced relations because India had allowing principles of foreign policy that included policy of non-intrusion and policy of solidarity with the third world countries, which looked welcoming to Bingus interests and desires. Needless to say, Bingus strategic interest with India was that of aid to finance flagship developmental projects for his political survival and legacy, the same way the first president of Malawi, Kamuzu Banda manoeuvred by benefiting economically from the apartheid South Africa and Israel. The study used library research, employing secondary data sources in form of journal articles, books, newspapers and You Tube videos to collect content for analysis. Individual level of analysis in International Relations was favoured to adequately examine the character of Bingu wa Muthalika.

Algorithm for the implementation of the HACCP system in the production of solodkovershkovo butter
Authors: Senyk Yurii
Published: November 2023

In connection with the globalization of trade activities, the consumer can purchase any food products of different geographical origins regardless of the season, which, on the one hand, is a positive aspect and, on the other hand, complicates the process of ensuring food safety, increasing the probability of movement, delivery of batches of dangerous food products. The paper describes the theoretical foundations of the HACCP system implementation algorithm in butter production. The safety of food products requires the formation of a team of experts from various fields of science and the most excellent experience in the technological process. It is emphasized that the general description of the product, in addition to the technological process and requirements for the safety and quality of the final product, should include storage conditions of the final product, methods of consumption, methods of sale, and transportation conditions. The need to analyze sales markets, consumers, and demand for the final product is indicated. Based on this information, it is necessary to predict the possible use of the product by consumers. The block diagram of the production process was analyzed, which describes all the main stages of the production process. Emphasis is put on checking the flow chart for compliance with the existing production process. It is necessary to make a list of all potential hazards associated with each stage of work (from raw materials to the use of the product by the consumer) and assess their significance, that is, considering the probability of their occurrence and consequences for health. It was emphasized that the verification process is essential for ensuring the effective operation of the HACCP system and production in general. That is why it is necessary to verify all system elements, from hazard analysis, critical limits, and monitoring parameters to corrective actions and verification procedures. Sometimes, due to the complexity of the production process, it is easier to develop different HACCP plans, such as implemented CPC and measures developed for their management. In the case of implementing such a system development, it is essential to ensure proper communication between the various HACCP plans, which will ensure a regulated system.

Management accounting of organic production and methods for assessing the level of efficiency of its development
Authors: Moroz Yulia , Tsal-Tsalko Yuzef
Published: November 2023

For Ukraine, organic production is one of the most important areas of further business development in agriculture, the processing industry of agricultural products, and the consumption of high-quality food products by the population, which ensures care for the environment and soil fertility, human health, social responsibility, resource-saving technologies, animal and plant health and well-being. Over the 30 years of independence, Ukraine has undergone three phases of organic production development: organizational, legislative, and strategic. Assessing the effectiveness of organic production depends on the specifics of its implementation by business entities. Organic production can be carried out by all structural units (organic enterprise), separate responsibility centers and objects of activity regarding crops and animals, and types of food products combined with transitional and conventional production. Management accounting should be essential in preventing economic risks in organic production. The objects of management accounting for the needs of organic production are organic production units, which are defined as assets comprising primary production facilities, land plots, pastures, open-air areas, premises for farm animals or parts thereof, beehives, fishponds, closed systems and facilities for algae or aquaculture animals, as well as storage facilities for crops, plant products, algae products, livestock products, raw materials and any other relevant. The main driving force for the development of organic production is its effectiveness in terms of economic effect in terms of profit and added value. In the context of making a profit from organic production, it is necessary to operate with absolute indicators of gross profit, created profit, and net profit and, accordingly, relative indicators of profitability of production costs (production cost) and operating costs (total cost), net income received and the coefficient of economic security (financial stability) of organic products and food.

Published: November 2023

Finland’s prime minister election result is out, impacting a huge shock in European politics. This study examines The Guardian's coverage of the Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin's loss in the recent election, utilizing Ruth Wodak's approach to Critical Discourse Analysis. The study aims to uncover underlying ideologies, power relations, and potential critiques in The Guardian's coverage. The article analyzes The Guardian's April 4th, 2023, publication titled "Why did Sanna Marin lose Finland's election?" and discusses the reasons behind Marin's defeat. The article frames Marin's loss as a "shock," suggesting potential flaws in the electoral system or an unfair outcome. The article discusses various factors that led to Marin's defeat, such as her approach to the economy, foreign policy, and immigration, highlighting their potential impact on voter behavior. Additionally, the article suggests that Marin's loss may indicate a shift towards more conservative values in Finnish society, highlighting a rise in anti-immigration sentiment and a focus on economic issues. The study also considers power relations in the coverage, highlighting the opposition's successful framing of Marin as an out-of-touch elite, which may have played a significant role in swaying voters. However, the study notes that this approach only examined a single source. Further research involving multiple media sources and a mixed investigative lens is necessary to understand discursive issues comprehensively. Keywords: Finland’s Election, Sanna Marin, Discourse Historical Approach, The Guardian

Published: November 2023

Writing is one of five skills in English subject, and it is also one of the communication tools in which students express their ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Unfortunately, writing is considered a difficult skill to master. That is why a tool is needed to be used in the teaching of writing. An electronic tool is one of the tools that can support the teacher in delivering the materials in a writing class. Among many electronic tools, PowToon is one of the tools that is suitable for teaching the skill. The web-based software presents the materials with animation features, such as cartoons and transition effects. This research is aimed at investigating the advantages and disadvantages of using PowToon in teaching descriptive text. The respondents were 10 students of a senior high school. The researcher used qualitative research with a narrative inquiry design. Documentation (reflective journal), questionnaires, and interviews were used as instruments for collecting the data. Based on the data collected, it can be seen that the advantages of PowToon as an electronic teaching tool made the learning process interesting, happy, fun, motivating, and understandable. However, the researcher found some disadvantages of this tool as the unclear sound produced by the tool. They could barely hear what the speaker was saying. In addition, the duration of the video was too short, so it made the speech fast and not catchable by the students. Keywords: Descriptive Text, Narrative Inquiry, PowToon, Writing Skill
