Authors: BRANCU Cristian , TURCU Oana , BUSU Cristian
Published: February 2025

This paper analyses the competition in Romania’s television media industry. With the rise of digitalisation and new technology, the media world has changed a lot, increasing competition among TV broadcasters. The study focuses on the main players, how the market works, the rules that guide it, and the challenges faced by the Romanian TV industry. By reviewing past studies and using real-world data, the research offers insights into the competitive environment of Romanian TV and its future growth. It uses interviews with industry experts and analysis of existing data to show how different TV networks are fighting for both audience share and advertising revenue. Key local channels like Pro TV, Antena 1, and TVR are in a race for market leadership, while international channels add another layer of competition. The National Audiovisual Council (CNA) plays a big role in shaping how the market operates through regulations. The paper looks at how licensing, content rules, and new digital standards influence the competition. It also explores how TV networks are changing their content strategies, looking for exclusive shows and adjusting to what viewers want, especially with the rise of streaming services. As technology changes the way people watch and interact with content, Romania’s TV industry faces both challenges and new opportunities.

Authors: BERGOUG Sabrina , MAHMOUD Hachemi
Published: February 2025

The emergence of e-commerce has profoundly changed consumer behaviour, making online shopping a major force due to its convenience and accessibility. It is important for online retailers to understand repurchase intentions in order to sustain and grow their customer base. This research, which was carried out in Jumia Algeria, explores the factors driving customers to repurchase from online retailers in Algeria. We adopted a blended approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, conducting interviews with six individuals, and administering an online survey to a final sample of 91 users aged between 18 and 64, located in 13 districts, who met the criteria of having made at least one prior and recent purchase using specifically the Jumia mobile application. The data were processed using Nvivo and SPSS software. Furthermore, a multiple regression technique was used to assess the possible connection between the variables. The results indicated that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, service quality, customer experience, and satisfaction positively affect repurchase intention. Although these findings provide practical insights for improving customer retention in the Algerian online shopping market, certain limitations should be acknowledged. The survey target was restricted to specific criteria, which may affect the broader applicability of the findings. Additionally, the study’s focus on the Algerian market, with over 60% of respondents being from the capital, limits the relevance to the other regions. Finally, the qualitative phase is carried out in order to obtain the consumers’ perception and derive the most important factors; based on six individual interviews, it provides depth but does not fully capture the diversity of consumers’ experiences.

Repetition in the essay "The Tragic Feeling of Life" by M. de Unamuno and its reflection in the translation by E.V. Garaggi from Spanish into Russian
Authors: Bakhturina Irina
Published: February 2025

The article examines the cases of the use of different types of repetition in the essay "The tragic sense of life among people and nations" by the Spanish writer of the 98 generation Miguel de Unamuno and the importance of this stylistic means for the reader's perception of the text of the work, as well as the great importance it has for the analysis of the writer's individual authorial style. In addition, the paper considers various options for transferring repetitions in the translation of an essay from Spanish into Russian. The material for this study is the original text of Miguel de Unamuno's essay "The tragic sense of life among people and nations", as well as the translation of the above-mentioned essay into Russian by E.V. Garaji in the 1997 edition.  In the process of analyzing repetitions in the work of Unamuno, we used the linguostylistic method, which is most suitable for studying the functional of repetition in the text of the essay. The basis for the structure of the work was the classification of repetitions by N. T. Golovkina. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that repetition in the author's works has never been the subject of independent scientific research before, and also in the fact that the translation considered in the work has never been considered in the context of translation theory before. In the course of the research, we were able to draw the following conclusions: in M. de Unamuno's work, repetition is one of the key stylistic means, and repetitions occur in the text at several linguistic levels – morphological, lexical and syntactic. In addition, we drew attention to the fact that since the translation of the work was part of a philosophical study, more attention was paid to the substantive part of the essay text, which led to the loss of some repetitions in the work and could affect the reader's perception of the text.

Modernisasi administrasi perpajakan yang difasilitasi DJP banyak memberikan kemudahan bagi wajib pajak, namun masih ada wajib pajak yang menganggap sistem DJP sulit dipahami. Semakin mudah sistem administrasi perpajakan dipahami, maka kepatuhan wajib pajak akan semakin meningkat sehingga mampu memengaruhi penerimaan pajak. DJP memikirkan cara agar sistem administrasi perpajakan dapat memproses data lebih cepat dan mampu menyimpan data lebih banyak. DJP saat ini sedang merancang sistem bernama Core Tax Administration System (CTAS) yang diyakini akan lebih mudah dipahami oleh wajib pajak. DJP melalui CTAS mendigitalisasi proses registrasi berupa profil lengkap wajib pajak termasuk pemadanan NIK menjadi NPWP, prepopulated SPT, penggabungan aplikasi pendukung djp online, pertukaran informasi dengan lembaga-lembaga keuangan dan masih banyak layanan lainnya. Banyak wajib pajak yang bergantung pada konsultan pajak agar tidak ada kesalahan dalam mengelola administrasi perpajakannya. Konsultan pajak sebagai penghubung antara wajib pajak dengan kantor pajak tentu harus lebih paham tentang sistem perpajakan di Indonesia. Wawancara telah dilakukan dengan beberapa konsultan pajak di Kota Surakarta untuk mengetahui sejauh mana dampak CTAS terhadap kinerja konsultan pajak.

Über die Geschichte der Meteorite aus Isotopenmessungen
Authors: Geiss Johannes
Published: February 2025

The resilts of radioactive age determinations on meteorites by various methods are summarized. The significance of these figures for the history of meteoritic matter is discussed. It is pointed out that indications for the presence of normal gases in meteorites are found by several investigators. The significance of measurements on these gases, especially on their isotopic composition, is outlined.
Special interest is given to the cosmic ray produced isotopes of gases, and the possibilities of obtaining “radiation ages” for meteorites are discussed. The only method used so far, which in principle gives precise radiation ages, consists in the measurement of the 3He/3H ratio. For the Norton County achondrite this method has given a radiation age of 260 m.y.40, compared with an A/K age of 4400 m.y.30. The influence of short-time variations of the cosmic ray flux on the 3He/3H age is discussed. The secular changes of the cosmic ray intensity may be investigated by the comparison of cosmic ray produced 40K and for instance 38A in iron meteorites.
38A contents of stone meteorites can be used to estimate radiation ages with sufficient precision in order to draw conclusions about the meaning of these ages. It is derived that the 38A contents imply radiation ages of chondrites of the order of 40 m.y. and of some achondrites of 10 to 20 m.y. It is shown that these radiation ages are determining the moment of the creation of the meteorite by the break-up of a larger body.

Published: February 2025

D-mannose, D-galactose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose and N-acetyl neuraminic acid have been identified in preparations of bovine a-lactalbumin. The preparations were fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography in an attempt to determine the origin of the carbohydrates. The existence of two minor components associated with a-lactalbumin, and differing markedly in their carbohydrate composition, is suggested. One component contained most of the carbohydrates in the preparations, and appeared similar to that isolated by Barman1 whilst the other minor component contained principally hexosamine, and appeared similar to that isolated by Gordon et al.2

Authors: Percy G.C. , Thornton D.A.
Published: February 2025

The infrared spectra of nine N-alkyl and twentyfour N-aryl salicylaldimines have been determined. 15N-Labelling of N-p-tolylsalicylaldimine yields assignments of the more significant vibrational bands and enables an assessment of the extent of vibrational coupling of ν C=N. The proton magnetic resonance spectra of the salicylaldimines show that they exist in the phenolimine form at room temperature in deuterochloroform. Electron withdrawing substituents reduce the magnetic shielding of the hydroxyl proton by modifying the capacity of the nitrogen atom for entering into hydrogen bonding.

Authors: Chua H.P. , Nicholas D. , Zuraida A.R.
Published: February 2025

Sarawak's tropical rainforests have a rich heritage of diverse flora and fauna, supporting
some of the world's most abundant plant species. Within this biodiversity, over 100
indigenous fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices have long been used as food sources,
offering supplementary income to rural communities. These rich plant resources possess
vast untapped economic potential that can be promoted for wider use, domestication, and
commercialization. Among these potential indigenous resources are dabai, terung asam,
and wild pepper. Through extensive research and development, MARDI Sarawak has
harnessed these resources to create value-added Sarawak-based products. Our goal is to
foster sustainable growth and drive economic progress in Sarawak's agri-food sector by
strategically developing products and leveraging our plentiful resources for a prosperous
future. This paper aimed to disseminate information about the untapped potential of
Sarawak's indigenous resources while showcasing MARDI's innovations and
achievements in product development, including herbal drinks, condiments, and premixed
powders. Developing countries are encouraged to diversify their food exports by exploring
the development of indigenous crop-based products that have not been fully explored. By
engaging in strategic product development, Sarawak can unlock its immense economic
potential and forge a path toward a prosperous and sustainable future
Exploring the preservation and modenisation of chilled pre-packed umai:
Sarawak traditional raw fish delicacy
Authors: Chua H.P. , Nicholas D.
Published: February 2025

Umai is a popular traditional raw fish delicacy in Sarawak, consisting of thinly sliced raw
fish cured in sour fruit juice mixed with other spices. Chilled pre-packed umai holds the
potential to become a convenient delicacy, as it allows for direct mixing of sliced fish with
the marinating sauce upon serving. This study aimed to modernize the presentation of prepackaged chilled red tilapia umai, which includes fish cutlets and marinade sauce, for
market convenience. A study was conducted to extend the chill-storage life of sliced fish
(Red Tilapia cutlets) through a dipping treatment in an organic acid solution. The results
indicated that sliced fish frozen at -23°C for 7 days and treated with a 1.5% citric acid
dipping solution exhibited the best storage quality, as evidenced by lower total aerobe and
total coliform counts, as well as enhanced colour intensity. Fish muscle tissue often
undergoes acid-induced denaturation within the pH range of 2 to 5. Therefore, the umai
sauce was formulated to have a fixed pH value of 3.3, which met the denaturation process
and sensory attributes, as well as the FDA requirements for limiting the growth of
bacterial pathogens that are of greatest concern in seafood processing. Compared to
commercial chilli sauce, umai sauce has significantly lower calorie and carbohydrate
content, with 49.7 kcal and 8.7%, respectively, compared to 113 kcal and 24.5%.
Comparison of physicochemical characteristics of cassava starch modified by
ultrasonication and oxidation with ozone
Authors: Satmalawati E.M. , Paramita B.L.
Published: February 2025

Cassava starch was modified chemically using dissolved ozone (oxidation with ozone)
and physically using ultrasonication. Oxidation with ozone and ultrasonication are
advanced and environmentally friendly oxidation methods. Determination of the starch
oxidation method should be considered to meet consumer needs and safety. Comparison
between two starch modification methods (oxidation with ozone and ultrasonication) is
still limited. Therefore, this work aimed to compare two environmental-friendly methods
by evaluating the carbonyl and carboxyl contents, amylose content, brightness, pasting
and functional properties, spectrum profiles of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
(FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and SEM of modified starch with ozone and
ultrasonication. Oxidation with ozone was performed by combining the slurry
concentration (w/w) and dissolved ozone concentration (ppm) taken in three
combinations: 1:6 (0.8 ppm), 1:8 (2 ppm), and 1:10 (1.4 ppm). Ultrasonication combined
amplitude (%) and duration process (min) was produced in three combinations: 60% (40
mins), 80% (10 mins), and 80% (30 mins). The results showed that the degree of oxidation
and the physicochemical characteristics of cassava starch were significantly more affected
by ozone than ultrasonication. However, the ultrasonication method effectively
depolymerized starch, resulting in amylose content and paste viscosity almost equivalent
to those achieved by oxidation with ozone. Considering the safety and environmentalfriendly methods for starch modification, both oxidation with ozone and ultrasonication
can be the preferred method for obtaining starch with characteristics as needed.

Intermarriage is becoming more popular due to globalization's impact on increasing human interaction across national borders. As intermarriage becomes more prevalent, it gives rise to complex issues, with one notable concern being the legal entanglements arising from the ownership of assets or property by each partner during the marriage. This study focuses on the diverse issues associated with intermarriage in Indonesia, where legal consequences vary according to the nationality of each spouse. Notably, property ownership status, particularly concerning land and immovable assets, poses significant challenges due to the restrictions imposed on foreign citizens. In addressing these challenges, the article explores prenuptial agreements' potential role in navigating property ownership issues between spouses. The paper acknowledges the methodological and theoretical complexities inherent in establishing a clear link between intermarriage and prenuptial agreements, given the diverse ways these concepts are theorized and operationalized. Qualitative research methods and literature reviews are employed to gather insights, drawing on various research publications and news items that shed light on the legal implications of intermarriages involving individuals with different citizenships. The study's findings underscore the significance of prenuptial agreements in providing a legal framework for delineating the rights and obligations of spouses in matters of property ownership. By examining the property ownership status in intermarriages, this research contributes to a better understanding of the legal landscape surrounding such unions.

This research aims to criticize the issue of imposing restitution on the state and legal protection for children against perpetrators of sexual violence who are unable to pay restitution. The type of research used is normative legal research with a statute approach using descriptive-qualitative analysis. The research results show that Bandung District Court Decision Number 989/Pid.Sus/2021/PN.Bdg was fallacious in considering terminology differences between restitution and compensation. On the other hand, Article 33 of Sexual Violence Crime Law reveals the state is obliged to provide compensation for the remaining amount of Restitution owed to Victims following a court decision through victim assistance funds. The study results are recommended in the victim and witness protection enforcement, although it should still refer to examination in the court.

Published: February 2025

Various fraud cases in the banking sector have recently tarnished the meaning of banking as a pillar of national economic development. Regulations regarding handling fraud have also been regulated in several regulations, such as the Criminal Code, the Banking Law, and other special regulations. So, an institution that is expected to restore stability to the national economy was formed, known as the Financial Services Authority. OJK and Bank Indonesia can coordinate and cooperate in joint supervision of financial services activities in the banking sector. This research looks at Indonesian criminal policies in enforcing and handling crimes in the banking sector, especially regarding fraud. By looking at the institutional relationship between Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority, it is hoped that they can coordinate to reduce the number of frauds in Indonesia. The method used is documentary research, where researchers see and analyze problems using selected document data. From the results of this research, it was found that banking crimes committed by bank insiders (crimes against the bank) need special attention. "Insider" crimes are closely related to the domination of policy and administration by one or several people and weak supervision by internal and external supervisors (regulators). In addition, various applicable regulations often cause banks to take excessive risks, which causes a decrease in the level of internal supervision, so bank failures caused by fraud by insiders become higher.

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country on the Asian continent, with more than 17,000 islands. The government has yet to identify many small and outermost islands in detail. Identifying these outer islands further emphasizes the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia regarding the location of the country's borders. Border areas are an essential aspect because they are a marker of a country's jurisdiction. Border areas are an arena for interactions between global and local communities that occur every day. Indonesia has several disputes with neighboring countries about the outer islands directly adjacent to it. Sebatik Island is one of the disputed islands. Meanwhile, Indonesia obtained its territory according to colonial jurisdiction. Sebatik Island which was obtained based on the Uti Possidetis principle. The research method used is normative juridical, examining library materials through norms, rules, legal principles, and doctrine. Among them are the Technical Aspects of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (TALOS) and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This paper examines Indonesia's potential to defend Sebatik Island using the Uti Possidetis principle. This principle holds that the territories of former colonies should be recognized as independent states with the same borders they had before colonization. By invoking this principle, Indonesia sought to assert its rightful claim to Sebatik Island and protect its sovereignty. Many countries have recognized this legal precedent, and have been used to resolve other border disputes worldwide.
