Authors: FILINIUK V. , HRYHORUK N. ,   Khmelnytskyi Humanitarian-Pedagogical Academy
Published: June 2023

This article examines the set of proper names recorded in Oleksandr Kozynets’ collection “Roads of Light” (2021), which has the form of a poetic calendar. Theoretical concepts concerning research were described: onomasticon, literary and art onomasticon, criteria for describing set of proper names. 453 proper names were recorded in 366 texts grouped by seasons and months. Poem titles were classified according to structural and parts of speech features and the following groups were identified: single-component poem titles (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns), multi-component poem titles (titles-compounds, titles with a subordinating conjunction, titles with a conjunctive conjunction, etc.). One-component titles were more frequent (92% of 366 units). 69% of the titles are represented by nouns, 16% by verbs. Compound titles predominate among multi-component units (45%). The functions of poem titles in the decoding of texts are described, the title of the collection is investigated. The functioning of repeated title lexemes in view of grammatical meanings (without change or with a change in grammatical form) is revealed. The examples made it possible to demonstrate the role of poem titles in the creation of means of textual imagery and phonostylistic means. Proper names were classified according to lexical-semantic features: chrononyms, theonyms, anthroponyms, biblionyms, oikonyms, choronyms, oronyms, etc. Chrononyms turned out to be the most frequent (39% of 87 units), which is explained by the form of the collection. This is a poetic calendar, where some texts are dedicated to holidays of various nature. The use of theonyms (17%) is caused by the author’s worldview and Christianity. It was found that most of the proper names are used in their literal meaning. These proper names reveal intertextual connections with other texts, outline the toponymy of the poem action, the feelings of the lyrical hero and the author.

Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, TsARALUNHA I.
Published: June 2023

The article describes the emergence of a handwritten monument – Kostiantynivska Kormcha as a part the framework activity of Kostiantyniv educational center in the second half of the XVI century. The essence and origin of the term “kormcha” is clarified, its language, structural and functional features are characterized. The attention is focused on the modern facsimile edition of the ancient manuscript. Manuscript Kostiantynivska Kormcha of 1599, created in the city of Kostiantyniv (now Starokostiantyniv, Khmelnytskyi region), in the castle church school of Vasyl-Kostiantyn Ostrozky. In 2021, thanks to the enthusiasm of Ukrainian and Polish researchers, the book was digitized and published in the form of a facsimile edition. These books were of great importance not only for church life, but also for secular life. Back in the days of Kyiv state and the Galicia-Volyn principality, they regulated the legal relations of representatives of the clergy, monks and laity. Some legal concepts, principles and norms have been consolidated in the legal system of Ukraine to this day. So, in the analyzed collection of religious rules and social norms, we recorded Ukrainian vernacular features in the field of phonetics and morphology, woven into the Church Slavonic linguistic basis of the manuscript. In its lexical composition, the monument reflects the beliefs, traditions, daily life of the Ukrainian community, laws and rules both for the residents of the church school and for various representatives of society in the late Middle Ages. The return of Kostiantynivska Kormcha to scientific circulation gives us a unique opportunity to join those treasures of our culture, education, and art that our state lived by in the past. In the future, the book will be interesting for linguists, historians, theologians, and local historians.

Published: June 2023

The article traces the reception of O. Neprytsky-Hranovskyi’s literary heritage in the two-track literary process, both by critics in exile and in mainland Ukraine. The life and poetry of O. Neprytsky-Hranovsky is a unique phenomenon in the history of our national Ukrainian literature. It is filled to the brim with fruitful work, interesting creative discoveries, and at the same time heroic social and public activities. Therefore, special emphasis is placed on the contribution of the famous literary critic H. Chernykhivskyi to the return to his native land of the “best Ukrainian in America” (G. Humphrey), the poet-intellectual Oleksandr Neprytsky-Hranovskyi. The poet left a significant creative legacy: three books of poetry were published in Ukraine (“Petals of Hope” (1910), “Necklace of Tears” (1911), “Chords” (1914)) and in the United States (“Sparks of Faith” (1953), “Autumn Patterns” (1957), “Hymns to the Sun” (1958), “Dreams of a Ruined Castle” (1964)). The excerpts from the reviews by S. Yefremov, M. Sribliansky (Shapoval), H. Chuprynka, R. Smal-Stotsky, A. Zhukovsky, Y. Mulyk-Lutsyk, D. Chyzhevsky, L. Daleka, V. Svaroh, Y. Boyko, Y. Pundyk, P. Odarchenko, B. Rubchak, H. Cheryn, P. Kovaliv, and others that we have cited show that the poet’s work is not only about the art of the poetry, but also about the art of the poetry itself. Kovaliv testify that O. Neprytsky-Hranovskyi is an original poet with his creative vision of the world, a rare ability to look with admiration and wonder at the most diverse manifestations of human life and nature.

Authors: KILINÇÇEKER Özlem
Published: June 2023

Keriman Halis Kafkas kökenli bir ailenin çocuğu olarak 16 Şubat 1913’te İstanbul’da doğmuştur. Cumhuriyet gazetesinin Türkiye’de ilkini 1929 yılında düzenlendiği Türkiye Güzellik yarışmasına iki kez katılmıştır. İlkine 1930 yılında katılan Halis, ailesinin izin vermemesi nedeniyle, ikinci tura gidememiştir. Ancak iki yıl sonra ailesinin izniyle tekrar 1932 yılında düzenlenen dördüncü Türkiye güzellik yarışmasına katılmış ve 2 Temmuz 1932 tarihinde Türkiye birincisi seçilmiştir. Daha sonra, 31 Temmuz 1932’de Belçika’nın Spa şehrinde düzenlenen Dünya Güzellik yarışmasında birinci olmuştur. Böylece, Keriman Halis 29 Ekim 1923’te kurulan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nde cumhuriyetin ülke kimliğini ve diğer ülkeler arasında yerini belirlemede önemli bir görev almıştır. Türk kadınına önemli bir misyon yükleyen, kadın ve kadın hakları ile ilgili verdiği mücadelede önemli sayılabilecek bu olay sonrası Atatürk tarafından kendisine 1934’te Soyadı Kanunu kapsamında “Ece” soyadı verilmiştir. Cumhuriyet için çok önemli olan bu başarı Türk halkında büyük bir coşku yaratırken, ulusal basında da kendisine önemli bir yer ayrılmıştır. Aynı zamanda Keriman Halis Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ni dünyaya tanıtmak, sevdirmek ve kabul ettirmek için pek çok projenin reklam yüzü olma görevini de üstlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda Keriman Halis yarışma sonrası “1932 Türkiye ve Dünya Güzeli” olarak hem yurt içinden hem de yurt dışından çokça davetler almış ve babası Halis Bey’le birlikte imkânlar dâhilinde çoğuna katılmıştır. Yurt dışına ilk ziyaretini Mısır’a yapmıştır. 17 Şubat 1932’de Mısır’a giden Keriman Halis 3 ay kaldığı Mısır’dan 17 Mayıs 1932 tarihinde yurda dönmüştür. Hem yurt içi basın hem de yurt dışı basın bu geziyi yakından izlemiştir. Mısır’da Türkiye Güzeli olarak pek çok ziyaretlerde bulunan Keriman Halis’e yoğun ilgi gösterilmiş olsa da orada bulunduğu günlerde kendisi ve babasıyla ilgili birçok iddia da ortaya atılmıştır. Hem Mısır basını hem de ulusal basın günlerce bu iddiaları ilk sayfalarından vermiştir.

Bu çalışmada Türkiye'nin ilk Dünya Güzeli Keriman Halis ile babası Halis Bey'in 1933 yılında Mısır'a yaptıkları bir gezi sırasında haklarında basında çıkan olumlu-olumsuz haberler ortaya konmuştur.

Authors: Fu Xin-Xin , Wei Bin , Cao Hai-Ming , Duan Rui , Deng Yang , Lian Hui-Wen , Zhang Ying-Dong , Jiang Teng
Published: June 2023

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of neurodegenerative disorder. There are few effective medications for halting the progression of AD. Telmisartan (TEL) is a widely used anti-hypertensive drug approved by FDA. Aside from treating hypertension, TEL has been revealed to provide protection against AD. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Objective: To investigate the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of TEL against AD. Methods: Eight-month-old APP/PS1 mice were administered with 5 mg/kg TEL once per day for 4 successive months. Nesting test, Y-maze test, and Morris water maze test were employed to assess the cognitive and executive functions. Neuronal and synaptic markers, amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress in the brains were measured. Specifically, components involved in Aβ production and degradation pathway were analyzed to explore the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect of TEL against Aβ pathology. The primary microglia were used to uncover the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory effects of TEL in AD. Additionally, the preventive effect of TEL against AD were investigated using 4-month-old APP/PS1 mice. Results: TEL treatment ameliorated cognitive and executive impairments, neuronal and synaptic injury, Aβ pathology, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress in APP/PS1 mice. The favorable effects of TEL on Aβ pathology were achieved by inhibiting enzymatic Aβ production and facilitating enzymatic and autophagic Aβ degradation. Meanwhile, the anti-inflammatory effects of TEL were accomplished via microglial PPARγ/NLRP3 pathway. The administration of TEL prior to symptom onset prevented AD-related cognitive decline and neuropathologies. Conclusion: TEL represents a promising agent for AD prevention and treatment.

Published: June 2023

Lewy body dementia is the third most common and costliest type of dementia. It is an umbrella term for dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia, both of which place a substantial burden on the person and society. Recent findings outline ethnoracial differences in dementia risk. Delayed and misdiagnosis across ethnoracial groups contribute to higher levels of burden. In this context, we aimed to summarize current knowledge, gaps, and unmet needs relating to race and ethnicity in Lewy body dementia. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of studies on Lewy body dementia focusing on differences across ethnoracial groups and outline several recommendations for future studies. The majority of the findings comparing different ethnoracial groups were from North American sites. There were no differences in clinical prevalence and progression across ethnoracial groups. Compared to people identifying as non-Hispanic White, co-pathologies were more common and clinical diagnostic accuracy was lower for people identifying as Black. Co-morbidities (e.g., diabetes, hypertension) were more common and medication use rates (e.g., antidepressants, antiparkinsonian agents) were lower for people identifying as Black or Hispanic compared to people identifying as White. More than 90% of clinical trial participants identified as non-Hispanic White. Despite increasing efforts to overcome disparities in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, inclusion of individuals from minoritized communities in Lewy body dementia studies continues to be limited and the findings are inconclusive. Representation of diverse populations is crucial to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic efforts in Lewy body dementia.

Published: June 2023

Background: Dementia is one of the pathologies that has increased the most among the older population (mainly Alzheimer’s disease), and it has a direct impact on the quality of life (QoL), cognitive performance, and health of these patients. Family functionality can play a role in this QoL if these patients are not institutionalized. Objective: To analyze the role of family function in the QoL and health perception of non-institutionalized dementia patients, as well as related variables such as anxiety, depression, optimism, or pessimism. Methods: Cross-sectional study with a sample of 54 patients diagnosed with some type of dementia, non-institutionalized, or in outpatient care, from different centers in the province of Valencia (Spain). The EQ-5D, MMSE, Apgar Family or general health, and Goldberg anxiety and depression questionnaires were utilized. Results: The correlation of the Apgar Family with the General Health Questionnaire-new onset problems variable (GHQ) and Chronicity and General Health Questionnaire-chronic problems (CGHQ) of the Goldberg Quality of Life questionnaire was statistically significant and negative (GHQ r = –0.310; p = 0.034. CGHQ r = –0.363; p = 0.012); as well as between Apgar Family and Anxiety-Depression (r = –0.341; p = 0.020). The correlation of the Apgar Family with the Life Orientation Test-Pessimism variable (LOT) was statistically significant and negative (r = –0.270; p = 0.061). Finally, severe dysfunction of Apgar Family has a negative correlation with self-perception of health (p = 0.036 B = –16.589) determined by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Conclusion: Family functionality directly influences anxiety, depression, optimism, and pessimism. This could explain why family function is related to the QoL of patients and their self-perception of health.

Authors: Reghunath Lakshmi G. , Zafar Shahila
Published: June 2023

Media reporting of climate change has long influenced public perception of the issue. The present study attempts to understand the media presentation of climate change in India by investigating the framing of climate change discourses in 30 editorials of prominent Indian English newspapers, The Times of India, The Indian Express, and The Hindu, with the help of corpus-assisted frame analysis using Sketch Engine software. The study utilised corpus techniques, like keyword and concordance analysis, along with open coding, to extract common “frames” that figure prominently in the selected newspapers. The results revealed that four major frames were employed by the newspapers: climate change as a worrisome reality that requires immediate attention; climate compensation and mitigation funds as contentious issues that require deliberation between developed and developing nations; India as an active participant in mitigation efforts; and climate crisis as a geopolitical issue that requires cooperation across the board. The analysis resulted in the conclusion that these newspapers displayed little climate scepticism, was sensitive to the economics of mitigative action, and were interested in India’s role in the conversations regarding climate change on the global stage.
EEG signal recognition algorithm with sample entropy and pattern recognition
Authors: Tan Jinsong , Ran Zhuguo , Wan Chunjiang
Published: June 2023

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is an emerging paradigm to achieve communication between external devices and the human brain. Due to the low signal-to-noise ratio of the original electroencephalograph (EEG) signals, it is different to achieve feature extraction and feature selection, and further high classification accuracy cannot be obtained. To address the above problems, this paper proposes a pattern recognition method that takes into account sample entropy combined with a batch-normalized convolutional neural network. In addition, the sample entropy is used to extract features from the EEG signal data processed by wavelet transform and independent component analysis, and then the extracted data are fed into the convolutional neural network structure to recognize the EEG signal. Based on the comparison of experimental results, it is found that the method proposed in this paper has a high recognition rate.
Optimal trajectory planning algorithm for autonomous flight of multiple UAVs in small areas
Authors: Tang Yi , Wang Zheng
Published: June 2023

The development of science and technology requires UAV to improve the accuracy of path planning to better apply in the military field and serve the people. The research proposes to use the social spider algorithm to optimize the ant colony algorithm, and jointly build an IACA to deal with the optimal selection problem of UAV path planning. Firstly, the swarm spider algorithm is used to make a reasonable division and planning of the UAV’s flight field. Secondly, the AC is used to adjust and control the UAV’s state and path. Then, the IACA is formed to carry out performance simulation and comparison experiments on the optimal path planning of the UAV to verify the superiority of the research algorithm. The results show that the maximum number of iterations of the original AC and the IACA is 100, but the IACA under the route planning optimization reaches the convergence state in 32 generations; Moreover, when the number of iterations is about 20 generations, there will be a stable fitness value, which saves time for the experiment to find the optimal path. In the simulation experiment, it is assumed that three UAVs will form a formation to conduct the experiment, and the multiple UAVs will be subject to global track planning and repeated rolling time domain track planning. The autonomous operation time of multiple UAVs through the assembly point is (5.30 s, 5.79 s, 9.29 s). The distance between UAVs during flight is predicted. It is found that the nearest distance is 2.3309 m near t= 6.65 s, which is in line with the safety distance standard. Under the improved algorithm, the speed in all directions is also relatively gentle. All the above results show that the improved algorithm can effectively improve the iteration speed and save time.

Authors: Zhang Jie , Lu Yukun , Lin Sen
Published: June 2023

The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has the advantages of mobility and flexibility, rapid concealment and holistic vision. Coordinating with the intelligent and efficient precise dispatching of the “decision module” of the command centre, UAVs can meet the public safety needs of significant events. The marathon is an open, long-distance, gathering sporting event, so on-site security is hard to guarantee. To study the application of UAVs in marathon public security risk early warning, we examine the Hangzhou Marathon as an example, analysing the potential public security risks of a marathon and the application scenarios of UAVs by modelling the data of population and vehicles near the fundamental security early warning places of the marathon through theoretical discussion and modelling research. We propose a marathon risklevel intelligent identification and early warning model, establish the deployment and control scheme of UAVs in marathon public security, and conceive a comprehensive command platform for UAVs to promote the integration of UAVs into marathon security by taking intelligent security as an example.

Authors: Liu Yuzhao , Hong Shaojun , Jiang Fan
Published: June 2023

With the continuous emergence of new technologies and the efficient and convenient development of people’s daily life and work, the topic of intelligent building is becoming more and more hot. There are two kinds of data in intelligent building, namely static data and dynamic data. The digital expression of intelligent building is realized through the fusion and interaction of these two kinds of data. The building information model (BIM) stores a large amount of static data, including size, material, color and other data, while the Internet of Things (IoT) collects real-time dynamic data, including temperature, humidity, light and other data, through sensors in every space within the building. The related problems of building data management in the design and operation and maintenance stages mainly include data collection relying on manual work, low data processing efficiency, scattered and disorderly data storage, difficult data interaction, slow speed, and low data visualization. In order to solve these problems, this paper combines the characteristics and advantages of BIM and IoT technology, analyzes the interaction and application value of BIM and IoT technology in the design and operation and maintenance stage of intelligent buildings, and constructs a data management system based on the Internet of things, a 3D visualization technology based on BIM, and an operation and maintenance management platform based on BIM and IoT. The application of BIM and IoT technology in the design and operation and maintenance stage of intelligent buildings has promoted the development of the construction industry. The Internet of Things can provide many functional services, such as real-time monitoring, remote tracking, automatic update, plan management and a series of personalized services and management, to achieve the management, control and detection of various things, and ensure the high-speed and effective operation of the system. The emergence of the building system of modern communication network technology has brought many conveniences to people, and there is still a broad space for development. The combination of new Internet of Things technology and intelligent buildings will certainly be an important development direction.

Published: June 2023

Green supplier management (GSM) gained significant importance in addressing environmental concerns, promoting resource efficiency, and enhancing eco-efficiency within the green supply chain system. This study presents a systematic review to provide insights into the current research status and prospects in GSM literature. Results indicate that the research about GSM is gaining consistently growing attention over the past decades. However, there exists a regional imbalance in academic research, with a substantial portion of the authors originating from developing countries in China and India. The topics of green supplier selection and evaluation have received considerable attention in academia. In addition, the multi-attribute decision-making methods, such as TOPSIS, VIKOR, and AHP, and some mathematical modeling approaches have played a crucial role in the methodology employed for GSM research. As a fundamental algorithm in the artificial intelligence area, fuzzy sets theory has also been extensively employed in supplier selection and evaluation studies, whereas other big data analysis approaches have received little attention. Considering the inherent risks and uncertainties in the business strategy environment and developing more big data and artificial intelligence techniques represent promising avenues for future research in the field.
Deteriorated image classification model for malayalam palm leaf manuscripts
Authors: Bipin Nair B.J. , Shobha Rani N. , Khan Mustaqeem
Published: June 2023

The method for document image classification presented in this paper mainly focuses on six different Malayalam palm leaf manuscripts categories. The proposed approach consists of three phases: dataset analysis, building a bag of words repository followed by recognition and classification using a voting approach. The palm leaf manuscripts are initially subject to pre-processing and subjective analysis techniques to create a bag of words repository during the dataset analysis phase. Next, the textual components from the manuscripts are extracted for recognition using Tesseract 4 OCR with default and self-adapted training sets and a deep-learning algorithm. The Bag of Words approach is used in the third phase to categorize the palm leaf manuscripts based on textual components recognized by OCR using a voting process. Experimental analysis was done to analyze the proposed approach with and without the voting techniques, varying the size of the Bag of Words with default/self-adapted training datasets using Tesseract OCR and a deep learning model. Experimental analysis proves that the proposed approach works equally well with/ without voting with a bag of words technique using Tesseract OCR. It is noticed that, for document classification, an overall accuracy of 83% without voting and 84.5% with voting is achieved with an F-score of 0.90 in both cases using Teserract OCR. Overall, the proposed approach proves to be high generalizable based on trial wise experiments with Bag of Words, offering a reliable way for classifying deteriorated Malayalam handwritten palm manuscripts.

Authors: Xie Zhixin , Wang Xiaofeng , Yang Lan , Pang Lichao , Zhao Xingyu , Yang Yi
Published: June 2023

The survey propagation algorithm is the most effective information propagation algorithm for solving the 3-SAT problem. It can effectively solve the satisfiability problem when it converges. However, when the factor graph structure is complex, the algorithm often does not converge and the solution fails. In order to give a theoretical explanation to this phenomenon and to analyze the convergence of the survey propagation algorithm effectively, a connected treewidth model of the propositional formula was constructed by using the connected tree decomposition method, and the connected treewidth of the factor graph was calculated. The relationship between the connected treewidth and the convergence of the survey propagation algorithm is established, and the convergence judgment condition of the survey propagation algorithm based on the connected tree width is given. Through experimental analysis, the results show that the method is effective, which is of great significance for analyzing the convergence analysis of other information propagation algorithms.

Authors: Yadav Shilpi , Patel Raj K. , Singh Vijay P.
Published: June 2023

The study introduces a novel approach to classify faulty bearings using a combination of the Teager-Kaiser Energy Operator (TKEO) and Artificial Intelligence. The TKEO signal is used for statistical feature extraction to distinguish between healthy and abnormal bearings and two datasets were used to evaluate the proposed method. Total 11 statistical features were extracted from the raw and processed signals using the TKEO operator. The obtained feature set was used as input for various machine learning algorithms, and their performance was compared. Additionally, statistical features were calculated using the Hilbert Transform and compared to the proposed method. The study found that when the TKEO features were used as input for the classifier in the acoustic signal, the CART model achieved the highest accuracy of 99.62% compared to the raw and Hilbert transform signal features. In the case of vibration signals, the TKEO signal feature outperformed the raw signal feature with 100% accuracy for all artificial intelligence models. The proposed methodology revealed that using TKEO signal features as input significantly enhanced the classification accuracy.

Background: Myotonia congenita is the most common form of nondystrophic myotonia and is caused by Mendelian inherited mutations in the CLCN1 gene encoding the voltage-gated chloride channel of skeletal muscle. Objective: The study aimed to describe the clinical and genetic spectrum of Myotonia congenita in a large pediatric cohort. Methods: Demographic, genetic, and clinical data of the patients aged under 18 years at time of first clinical attendance from 11 centers in different geographical regions of Türkiye were retrospectively investigated. Results: Fifty-four patients (mean age:15.2 years (±5.5), 76% males, with 85% Becker, 15% Thomsen form) from 40 families were included. Consanguineous marriage rate was 67%. 70.5% of patients had a family member with Myotonia congenita. The mean age of disease onset was 5.7 (±4.9) years. Overall 23 different mutations (2/23 were novel) were detected in 52 patients, and large exon deletions were identified in two siblings. Thomsen and Becker forms were observed concomitantly in one family. Carbamazepine (46.3%), mexiletine (27.8%), phenytoin (9.3%) were preferred for treatment. Conclusions: The clinical and genetic heterogeneity, as well as the limited response to current treatment options, constitutes an ongoing challenge. In our cohort, recessive Myotonia congenita was more frequent and novel mutations will contribute to the literature.

The current study investigates the spread of HBV by using the basic virus model. In order to determine the stability of disease-free and endemic equilibria, the basic reproduction number is determined. The convergence and divergence of disease-free and endemic equilibria are demonstrated by using standard finite difference (SFD) and non-standard finite difference (NSFD) schemes. Arguably, SFD schemes, namely Euler and Runge-Kutta order four (RK-4) schemes, converge for lower step sizes, while the NSFD scheme converges for all step sizes. The latter is a strong, efficient, and reliable method that shows a clear picture of the continuous model. All the results are validated using numerical simulations in order to better comprehend the dynamics of the disease. The theoretical and numerical findings in this work can be applied as a useful tool for tracking the prevalence of HBV infectious disease.
Informed Dissent: Toward a Constitutional Right to Know
Authors: Halstuk Martin E. , Cramer Benjamin W.

This article argues that the American judiciary should recognize a constitutional right of access to government information, or more forcefully a “right to know”, for purposes of achieving the self-government that was envisioned by the Founding Fathers. This in turn will subject political leaders to the “consent of the governed” that was also envisioned by the nation’s early theorists. While no such right is stated explicitly in the Constitution, a right to know is implied by Congressional investigative responsibilities that are delineated in the Constitution, particularly in Article II; the idea is also supported by numerous Supreme Court precedents on the rights of citizens to access information on government activities, either directly by request or indirectly via the press, which itself has important privileges and responsibilities granted by the First Amendment. A constitutional right to know has also been theorized by several influential First Amendment scholars.

This article’s thesis builds upon the consent of the governed ideal advanced by philosopher John Locke, whose influence on the Founding Fathers is well documented. The consent of the governed requires access to information, thus leading to the informed consent that must be acknowledged by political leaders who operate under the oversight of the public. Furthermore, this article argues that informed consent can encourage informed dissent, or the ability of citizens to criticize unsatisfactory leaders and to call for change in the press and at the ballot box. In more precise terms, information leads to thought, which leads to the speech and expression that is protected by the First Amendment, which then leads to informed dissent, and finally to political action. This process, fueled by obtainable government-held information, enables the self-government that is at the heart of the American Constitution.

Differences in marriage and divorce law in Islamic and state law One of the triggers for the initial causes of the disorderly implementation of marriage and divorce in the Sukajadi Bandung community was an understanding regarding the separation of religion and state law as well as social welfare factors related to law enforcement. This study analyzes the legal consequences, factors, and legal remedies that can be taken in unregistered marriages and divorces. The method used in this study is empirical-juridical with a qualitative approach. This approach is carried out to obtain information in the Sukajadi Bandung community regarding unregistered marriages and divorces. The results of the study show that the factors behind the rampant practice of unregistered marriages and divorces are not recorded because people's understandings of the dichotomy between Islamic law and that of the state are different. There is a link between the legal awareness of the community and its understanding of religion and welfare. In addition, unregistered marriages and divorces have an impact on the absence of marriage, inheritance, custody, and maintenance, which are detrimental to children and wives. Several efforts need to be made to minimize the occurrence of unrecorded marriages and divorces, including counseling, legal assistance for divorce victims, mediation, and consultation. This effort does not only involve the government and law enforcers but also preachers, lectors, and social organizations.

Regarding the birth of children as one of the goals of marriage, recently there have been problems with issues and childfree practices among the general public. This research uses a type of normative legal research that originates from primary data related to the concept of childlessness, the theory of the purpose of marriage, and the maqashid asy-syari'ah system theory of Jasir 'Audah. This study uses a conceptual approach. collection of research data based on description and analysis Jasir Audah's system theory has six features: 1) the cognition character of the Islamic legal system; 2) the overall Islamic legal system; 3) the openness of the Islamic legal system; 4) the interrelated hierarchies of the Islamic legal system; 5) the multidimensionality of the Islamic legal system; and 6) the meaningfulness of the Islamic legal system. Based on Jasir 'Audah's maqashid asy-syari'ah system theory, it can be concluded that first, childfree decisions are recommended not to be made if the underlying factors do not endanger the existence of benefit values, and second, childfree decisions are allowed if there is an urgency for the existence of benefit.

Tenders or auctions in the construction industry are often held, either public or open or closed depending on the owner and the project to be carried out. Tenders or auctions are needed because in the implementation of a project, both government projects and private projects, the owner expects the best bid for the project. A tender committee is an organization established and endorsed which is responsible for the successful auction of a tender. The tender or auction in the north middle Timor regency is held every year after the local government proposes the project procurement in the budget session with the DPR. Project procurement is proposed at the hearing in the form of the location and amount of the project budget, during the budget session. The amount of budget proposed by the government can be reduced and the project procurement can be canceled unilaterally by the DPR, after the budget session is over and the project procurement has been approved, the project will be posted on the LPSE (Electronic Procurement Service) website of north middle Timor regency. In determining the tender winner, at the final determination stage, is still done manually so there are a lot of cheats and frequent human errors, therefore an application is needed to assist and facilitate decision-making in determining the winner of the project tender. This research produces a decision support system application to determine the winner of the project tender that can assist the committee in determining decision-making using the Exponential Comparison Method. The result of the system implementation is that the system can assist and facilitate decision-making in determining the project tender winner. The decision support system for determining the winner of this project tender can assist the committee in determining decision-making using the Exponential Comparison Method. Measuring the accuracy of determining the project tender winner between the Public Works Agency ranking with the Exponential Comparison Method (MPE) algorithm ranking, obtained an accuracy rate of 100%, so that the Exponential Comparison Method algorithm is feasible to be implemented in making a decision support system for determining project tender winners at the office  North Middle Timor Regency Public Works.
