The United Development Party (PPP) is one of the contestants in the general election since the new order era until the current Reformation era. In the course of politics in Indonesia, PPP as a party with Islamic nuances has never been the main winner in every election, even though the majority of Muslims in this country. This reaserch aims to reveal about the implementation of the 2019 general election and to elaborate on several events related to the United Development Party (PPP), so that it has an impact on the position of its vote acquisition in the 2019 general election. This study uses a historical qualitative research method. The data was obtained through a study of literature sharing in the form of books and journals. The results showed that PPP set a target to win 8% of the vote at the national level. To achieve this target, PPP has taken several strategies, including: visiting Islamic boarding schools, approaching the millennial generation, introducing new brands, and supporting the Joko Widodo and Ma'ruf Amin couple. However, PPP's hopes of gaining victory could not be realized because it faced several obstacles, namely: PPP's internal divisions, cracking at the ballot box, lack of public figures, and corruption cases. Some of these factors made PPP the party that took the last position in the vote that was declared to have passed as part of the members of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia.

Ensuring the Right of Access to Court during the Consideration of the Case by International Commercial Arbitration
Authors: KRAVTSOV Serhii
Published: June 2022

Apparently, one of the arguments against the application of the ECHR to arbitration is that neither the preparatory materials of the Convention nor the text of the ECHR itself contain a direct reference to arbitration. At the same time, according to one of the principles of interpretation of the Convention, which is stated by the ECtHR in the judgment in Tyrer v. United Kingdom: «The Convention is a living instrument that must be interpreted in the light of modern conditions». Various arbitration-related decisions of the Convention’s review bodies indicate that, as regards the application of the Convention to arbitration, it has also been interpreted as having direct relevance to it. The ECtHR takes into account the changing rules of national and international law and generally provides a broad and autonomous interpretation of the ECHR. This also applies to the Court’s interpretation of the most obvious provision of the ECHR that may be relevant to arbitration, namely Article 6 (1) of the ECHR. This article examines the issue of theoretical and practical interaction between the right of access to court and international commercial arbitration. Examples of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights on the possibility of exercising the right of access to court during the consideration of foreign economic disputes by arbitrators are given. It is argued that national arbitration laws more or less invariably establish procedural rights similar to those provided for in Article 6 (1) of the ECHR. However, it cannot be ruled out that national arbitration laws violate the Convention in some cases. Even assuming that the laws of arbitration in all countries comply with Article 6 (1) of the ECHR, the fact that this provision imposes certain obligations on states in relation to arbitration by virtue of the fact that the Convention can be considered a quasi-constitutional norm.
Impact of the Common European Framework of Reference—A bibliometric analysis of research from 1990-2017
Authors:   University of Bedfordshire, Runnels Judith
Published: June 2022

Published in 2001, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), a reference framework which informs teaching, learning and assessment in language education, appears to be increasingly recognized, referenced and utilized in language education contexts worldwide. To date however, the extent, provenance and adoption of the collected body of knowledge concerning the CEFR has yet to be systematically analysed, rendering it difficult for any conclusions to be made about its impact. A bibliometric analysis was therefore conducted to explore the CEFR from the document’s more formal origins in 1990 to the end of 2017 for the bibliometric indicators of number of publications per year, geographical location of research, highly cited works and journals with the highest number of relevant publications. The findings show that research on the CEFR has increased significantly over the examined time. The majority of publications with a focus on the CEFR are European, but numbers are increasing in geographical areas outside of Europe, and particularly in Asia. The framework is discussed in numerous types of publications covering a range of topics in language education. These findings suggest that the CEFR has been used in contexts beyond its origins and has influenced many aspects of language education around the globe. Diffusion of innovations theory suggests that the CEFR’s impact and influence is likely to increase over the next ten years in and outside of Europe and especially in Asia.

While there have been huge exploration on the effecting factors of FDI for created and non-industrial nations, almost no has been completed on this issue for developing nations, particularly CIS – "Commonwealth of Independent States nations". The current research analyzes the elements of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the Commonwealth of the Independent States somewhere in the range between 1995 and 2018. Distinguishably, this research is dedicated to describing the relationship between FDI and exchange. Earlier experimental and empirical commitments are examined cautiously to discover expected determinants which are exchange rate, GDP, GDP per capita, inflation rate, and trade openness. Regression analysis and Granger causality experiments are utilized to examine the bond between variables. Test results show there is no significant influence of exchange rate on the FDI of CIS countries.

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cervix which is a cylinder that connects the lower part of a woman’s uterus to her vagina. The study investigated the awareness and utilization of cervical cancer screening services among primary health care workers in Ilesa, Osun state. The study adopted the descriptive cross-sectional research design. The sample size was determined by Taro Yamane, which was 192. Proportionate random sampling technique was used to select female primary healthcare workers. The instrument for data collection was a self-structured questionnaire which was divided into three sections. The instrument was subjected to face and content validity. Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient for the constructs ranged from 0.72 to 0.85. The descriptive statistics was employed to answer the research questions, while Pearson correlation and chi-square analysis were employed to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings showed that level of awareness and utilisation of cervical cancer screening services was moderate. There was significant relationship between the level of awareness and utilization of cervical screening services among primary health workers (r = .272, p = .000<0.05). Only age (x2 = 25.533, p = .003 < 0.05) and ethnicity (x2 = 18.520, p = .005 < 0.05) were related to level of awareness of cervical screening services while age (x2 = 28.549, p = .000 < 0.05), marital status (x2 = 9.077, p = .011< 0.05), monthly income (x2 = 19.347, p = .000 < 0.05) and educational qualifications (x2 = 51.004, p = .000 < 0.05) were related to level of utilisation of cervical screening services among primary health workers. It was recommended among others that there is need to establish cervical cancer screening education programmes among health care professionals at all levels, especially among nurses.

In many earthquake-prone countries, structures may be suffers to various seismic loads in any stage of structures life. For this situation it is expected that the structures designed will show ductile behaviour under the various loads like vertical loads and lateral loads and also shows a stable behaviour without any major damage. Most of Indian lands behave insecure owing to the vibrations which are caused by the seismic effects. Also, it’s not possible to stop earthquake or vibrations on the structures but it may be controlled by some effective seismic techniques. Pushover analysis is a simply nonlinear analysis to estimate the static and dynamic demand imposed on any structures under earthquake excitation. In now days for design purpose, irregularity in structures is under highly demand. In this paper regular and irregular building structures are taken to study the behaviour during under seismic zone. Here various type highrise buildings are analyzed; behaviour of high rise building during earthquake depends on their structural design. In this study a G+8 rugular structure and multi-storeyed irregular structures are analyzed by nonlinear static pushover analysis. Zone factor for analysis is taken as zone III & zone V. This concerned work all building are designed as per IS 456:2000 and IS1893:2002. The aim of this work is to compare the result of symmetrical and unsymmetrical structure behaviour after applying pushover analysis in behalf of storey drift, storey displacement, base shear and storey shear. Keywords- Pushover analysis, seismic loads, lateral loads, regular and irregular building, nonlinear analysis, storey drift, storey displacement, base shear.

Background: Patients undergoing hemodialysis experience painful complications such as restless leg syndrome and poor sleep quality, which negatively affect their quality of life.Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effect of reflexology and Swedish massage on restless leg syndrome and sleep quality in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Method: This is a randomized clinical trial conducted on 90 patients undergo-ing hemodialysis. The two intervention groups received either foot reflexology (n = 30) or Swedish massage (n = 30) for four weeks. In the sham group (n = 30), a simple touch of the knee down was performed with the same conditions as the intervention groups. Each sample completed the International Restless Leg Syndrome and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Questionnaires before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention.Result: The results showed that immediately after the intervention, rest-less leg syndrome and sleep quality were significantly better in the foot reflexology massage group than the Swedish massage and sham groups (PRLS < 0.001, PPSQI < 0.001); also, changes in restless leg syndrome and sleep quality, respectively, before and one-month follow-up after the intervention were not significant in all three groups (PRLS = 0.47, PPSQI = 0.95), (PRLS = 0.91, PPSQI = 0.87).Conclusion: Reflexology and Swedish massage, as complementary methods, can improve the restless leg syndrome and sleep quality of patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, foot reflexology massage had been more effective.

Published: June 2022

As a famous fossil Lagerstätte, the mid-Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) amber from Kachin, northern Myanmar, harbors one of the most diverse Mesozoic palaeobiotas yet discovered. Over the past few years, reports of organisms trapped in Kachin amber have increased exponentially. Ostracods, as fully aquatic animals, are so far represented in Kachin amber by two records of specimens without soft parts (1 valve and two carapaces) as well as an exceptional assemblage with well-preserved soft parts comprising 39 specimens of three species assigned to the families Candonidae and Loxoconchidae. Since the last-mentioned focused on the exceptional preservation of giant sperm and reproductive organs in only one species, we here present in-depth morphological descriptions of all three species including a new genus:Myanmarcypris huiWang et al., 2020,Electrocypria burmiteigen. et sp. nov., andSanyuaniasp. We further describe taphonomic traits indicating that the studied ostracods were quickly surrounded by resin and instantly immobilized. The palaeoenvironment is considered to be a vegetated brackish (mesohaline-oligohaline) lagoon.

Quantify uncertainty by estimating the probability density function of the output of interest using MLMC based Bayes method
Authors: Xiong Meixin , Chen Liuhong , Ming Ju
Published: June 2022

In uncertainty quantification, the quantity of interest is usually the statistics of the space and/or time integration of system solution. In order to reduce the computational cost, a Bayes estimator based on multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) is introduced in this paper. The cumulative distribution function of the output of interest, that is, the expectation of the indicator function, is estimated by MLMC method instead of the classic Monte Carlo simulation. Then, combined with the corresponding probability density function, the quantity of interest is obtained by using some specific quadrature rules. In addition, the smoothing of indicator function and Latin hypercube sampling are used to accelerate the reduction of variance. An elliptic stochastic partial differential equation is used to provide a research context for this model. Numerical experiments are performed to verify the advantage of computational reduction and accuracy improvement of our MLMC-Bayes method.

Organizations face their work in a rapidly changing environment, where globalization, technological advances, and the generation, management, and transfer of knowledge have become fundamental processes for competitiveness. This VUCA environment forces entities to readjust continuously. This implies attracting and retaining people with adequate and sufficient skills to work in this context and committing to management models based on leadership that contributes, as never before, to giving visibility, voice, participation, and well-being to its members. In the conviction, demonstrated by recent literature, the most satisfied collaborators are the most productive. This study is of an empirical, exploratory, and transversal nature, in which, firstly, the degree of conformity with individual capacities of the new leader is tested among personnel managers in organizations in the Bay of Algeciras Arch. Secondly, it is analyzed whether these opinions are related to specific socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents.
Strategies of Green Economics
Authors: Norouzi Nima
Published: June 2022

The crises that threaten countries and human societies are the limited resources of non-renewable (fossil) energy sources and the increasing environmental pollution caused by the excessive consumption of fossil fuels, which are necessary for paying attention to energy resources. The close relationship between economic and environmental issues has led to the emergence of new approaches in international environmental law, one of the most important of which is the green economy. Since one of the most important goals of the green economy is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the use of renewable energy sources is a shortcut to the green economy. In this regard, the main purpose of this chapter is to compare the impact of renewable energy on the green economy in selected middle-income and high-income countries.
Segmentation of Brain Tumors Using Three-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network on MRI Images 3D MedImg-CNN
Authors: Kharrat Ahmed , Neji Mahmoud
Published: June 2022

We consider the problem of fully automatic brain tumor segmentation in MR images containing glioblastomas. We propose a three Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (3D MedImg-CNN) approach which achieves high performance while being extremely efficient, a balance that existing methods have struggled to achieve. Our 3D MedImg-CNN is formed directly on the raw image modalities and thus learn a characteristic representation directly from the data. We propose a new cascaded architecture with two pathways that each model normal details in tumors. Fully exploiting the convolutional nature of our model also allows us to segment a complete cerebral image in one minute. The performance of the proposed 3D MedImg-CNN with CNN segmentation method is computed using dice similarity coefficient (DSC). In experiments on the 2013, 2015 and 2017 BraTS challenges datasets; we unveil that our approach is among the most powerful methods in the literature, while also being very effective.

Published: June 2022

Writing an argument is an essential skill for doctoral students in achieving academic and occupational success. Writing an argument effectively requires the ability to use correct writing mechanics, but doctoral students may tend to think their writing mechanics are better than they are, and their ability to write an argument effectively may be compromised as a result. At one university, this gap between student perceptions of their ability to write and their writing performance appeared to exist. A study was conducted to determine whether there was a mismatch between perceived writing self-efficacy and writing performance. Study results showed that higher perceived writing self-efficacy seems to be associated with certain mechanical writing errors, including wordiness and inaccurate grammar. Knowing this mismatch between writing self-efficacy and writing performance may exist is important (a) for students in terms of their awareness, and (b) for tertiary educators to better target tertiary writing interventions.

En el año 2000, el experto en escenarios virtuales de la BBC, Danny Popkin, demandaba un mayor aprovechamiento de los escenarios virtuales en televisión. Diez años más tarde la situación es muy similar. La experiencia de las cadenas de televisión hasta el momento es que la escenografía virtual es una excelente herramienta para ahorrar costes de producción y que además ofrece ventajas en la realización de noticias, programas infantiles, espacios de televenta o en programas especiales de elecciones. Sin embargo, es necesario que la escenografía virtual ofrezca más verosimilitud y simplicidad en sus escenarios, una presentación de la información en tiempo real más atractiva y aportaciones creativas para formatos de entretenimiento. Para ello, en este artículo se analizan seis ejemplos de programas especiales, desde 1996 hasta 2009, que aportan novedades narrativas y estéticas que mejoran la calidad de los programas y la riqueza del lenguaje audiovisual.

Diversos estudios sobre redes sociales han sacado a la luz indicadores sobre la penetración de éstas en distintos grupos de población, su frecuencia de uso y la importancia que están tomando. Sin embargo, estos estudios pasan por alto algunas cuestiones más concretas. Este análisis pretende cubrir ese espacio que dejan las investigaciones de corte más comercial centrándose en un público de un interés estratégico, los estudiantes universitarios, que serán los futuros profesionales. Mediante la realización de varios grupos de discusión y una encuesta a más de 650 estudiantes, se analiza qué diferentes imágenes tienen las dos redes líderes (Facebook y Tuenti) para los estudiantes universitarios, se explora el desconocimiento que tienen sobre las condiciones legales en las que pueden hacer uso de ellas y se indaga en las actividades que realizan mientras permanecen conectados a las redes.

Los resultados muestran dos redes sociales con muy diferente imagen de marca, un gran desconocimiento del público sobre las condiciones legales de las redes y unas costumbres de consumo centradas en la multitarea con especiales implicaciones relativas a la televisión.
Airy-based static limit analysis of structures using stabilized radial point interpolation method
Authors: Canh Le Van , Phuc Ho Le Huy , Phuong Nguyen Hoang
Published: June 2022

This paper presents a novel formulation for static limit analysis of structures, for which the Airy stress function is approximated using stabilized Radial Point Interpolation Mesh-free method (RPIM). The stress field is determined as second-order derivatives of the Airy function, and the equilibrium equations are automatically satisfied a priori. The so-called Stabilized Conforming Nodal Integration (SCNI) is employed to ensure a present method is truly a mesh-free approach, meaning that all constraints in problems are only enforced at nodes. With the use of the Airy function, SCNI, and Second-Order Cone Programming (SOCP), the size of the resulting problem is kept to be minimum. Several benchmark problems having arbitrary geometries and boundary conditions are investigated. The obtained numerical solutions are compared with those available in other studies to perform the computational aspect of the proposed method.

Mathematics is the basic foundation for other sciences. Equation is a mathematical model that can describe real-life problems, one of which is estimating non-tax state revenues in the coming year. Non-State Revenue (penerimaan negara bukan pajak, PNBP) is the scope of state finances which is equipped with the State Assets and Auction Service Office (kantor pelayanan keuangan negara dan lelang, KPKNL) which must be reported on the realization of PNBP that will be deposited into the state treasury. Such situation happens because expenditures in each government agency will be available and increase every year by the government. Therefore, direktorat jenderal keuangan negara (DJKN) have to be more optimal in the management of the PNBP. This study aims to determine the results of the best estimates and exponential models in estimating non-tax state income at the KPKNL Bandung, Indonesia, in year of 2017 and 2018. This research includes descriptive research using a qualitative approach. The results show that the calculation using the exponential 4th model is the best model for estimating PNBP such that the estimated PNBP results in 2017 is Rp. 574,775,677 and in 2018 is Rp. 798,022,691.

The pit structure optimized drip irrigation emitter (PODE) is a novel type of irrigation emitter that may provide shunts, quick diversion, and mixed flow to maximize energy loss. To study the influence of the geometric parameters of the flow channel on the hydraulic characteristics and energy loss effect, twenty-five sets of orthogonal test schemes were established. Using numerical simulation and verification tests, the flow index and energy loss coefficient were obtained. The results showed that the flow index of the PODE was 0.4632-0.5265, and its hydraulic performance was good. The energy loss coefficient under the pressure head of 5-15 m was 510-2221, which showed that the energy loss effect was obvious. The influence order of the geometric parameters on the flow index was B>P>C>D>A, the optimal solution was P0.6D1.4A85B0.25C0.12. The determination coefficient of the regression model based on geometric parameters and flow index was 0.85. In addition, the verification test showed that the relative error among the test value, simulated value, and estimated value were less than 5%, and the flow index can be estimated reliably. The research can provide a reference for the pre-research and evaluation of the hydraulic performance and energy loss effect of the PODE.

To improve light usage, Ag and Cu were co-impregnated with nano-ZnO, and the mesoporous silica gel (meso-SiO2) was chosen as the carrier. The sol-gel method was used to successfully construct a composite photocatalyst with 3 percent Ag/0.1 percent Cu/nano-ZnO/meso-SiO2. For the evaluation of the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared catalysts, Reactive Black 5 was used as a simulated organic pollutant in aqueous. The results revealed that uniform spherical nano-ZnO particles with a diameter of 10 nm were attached to the surface and mesopore of meso-SiO2. The average pore width and specific surface area of this composite were 7.06 nm and 305 m2.g-1, respectively. The optimal amount of loaded Ag and Cu were 3% and 0.1%, respectively, which resulted in around 100% removal of Reactive Black 5 after 280 min UV-light irradiation. The degradation process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Ag and Cu-loaded nano-ZnO/SiO2 could be advantageous for suppressing the recombination of photo-generated holes and electrons, thus improving the degradation efficiency. The constant of degradation rate and adsorption equilibrium of 3%Ag/0.1%Cu/nano-ZnO/meso-SiO2 were 0.049 min–1 and 2.14 L.g-1, respectively. After three reuses, the Ag/Cu/ZnO/meso-SiO2 photocatalyst remained very stable during the photocatalytic process with no loss of photocatalytic activity. According to the GC-MS results, a probable degradation mechanism was estimated.

Despite an increase in the number of women in politics, Serbia’s political space remains predominantly masculinized. In addition to reflecting the androcentricity of the political scene, the media image actively contributes to its creation by marginalizing female politicians. They are significantly less represented than male politicians, and when they are, gender stereotypes, sexism, hate speech, and misogyny characterize media practice. This paper aims to determine the quantitative representation of women in the political debate “Word for word”, which is broadcast on the public media service, as well as the key subjects of the debates in which female politicians participate. Quantitative and qualitative content analyses are applied in the paper. The research corpus consists of 21 political debates broadcast from January to November 2021. The research confirmed both hypotheses. A significant disproportion between the media representation of women and men politicians was found since the share of men among the participants in the debates was 78.30%. Female politicians are invisible in topics such as relations in the region, defense and the military, human rights, while the only thematic areas in which they are equally represented as politicians are topics typically associated with women - social policy and education.

The topic of this paper is concerned with the characteristics of nuclear family practices from the children perspective. The idea from which this paper starts is that family practices enable the stability of family life, but also leave space for it to change. As such, they enable us to distance ourselves from the idea of a family as a static phenomenon and offer a deeper insight into the intrafamilial dynamics. Through the experience of what is everyday and common in family life, but also of fluidity and activity in lifes of family members, we gain insight into the way of life of a family, the relationships among its members, and the ways in which family defines itself in relation to others. The aim of the research was to examine whether the relationship between parents and children is gender based, what is the division of roles in the family, as well as how the family sets boundaries between its members, and how to individuals who are not considered family members.
