Some of the human resources which working in the Islamic banks are threatened with being replaced by machines or digital banking system. One of its is that the position of teller serving cash deposit and withdrawal transactions has been replaced by an automated teller machine (ATM). This one of the impacts of the disruption era that occurred due to the implementation of the digital era 4.0. This study is porpose to analyze how the growth of the human resources number and profites obtained by Islamic banks in the disruption era. This study used a qualitative methode with a descriptive analysis approach. Primary data was obtained through in- depth interviews with various types of Islamic banks regarding constraints and strategies for increasing the growth of Islamic banks in the disruptive era. Secondary data was obtained through www.ojk.go.id in the menu of Islamic banking statistics, especially the number of workers and profits of Islamic banks in Indonesia during the disruption era. This research show the result that the growth in the number of Islamic bank human resources in the disruptive era experienced the most decline in July 2021 with a total of 6,769 people or 10.63%. However, the average growth in the number of Islamic bank human resources always increases by 54 people every year or 0.13%. Meanwhile, the profit growth for Islamic banks in Indonesia from 2020 to 2023 tends to decrease. The average profit growth of Islamic banks in the disruptive era experienced a decrease of 1.19% for each period. This research shows that Islamic banks are more focused on strategies in overcoming disruptive eras by making major changes from the technological aspect in the hope of reducing human resources. However, this resulted in an increase in operational costs of Islamic banks.

Published: January 2024

This classroom action research aims to enhance heterogeneous students' motivation to speak English. Heterogeneity in motivation is the difference between cognitive abilities and beliefs, cognitive abilities, and risk preferences, as well as a person's interest in something. A problem found was that one of the best classrooms' students needed more motivation to speak English. It influenced their English lesson score, with the average being 76.6. Therefore, this CAR created a solution to solve this problem by using a method named STAD. The subjects of the research were 34 students of X-D SMAN 3 Malang. In collecting data, the researchers used questionnaires, observation, and tests. Cycle 1 resulted in no significant development of students’ motivation. Their average score was 80.77. By reflecting on the implementation of STAD in cycle 2, students' motivation increased significantly, affecting their score (average: 82.94). This score development happened because students' motivation also increased. Students know how to manage their group collaboration well and better than before to achieve the group’s goals, especially regarding students' cognitive abilities and beliefs. Students believed that with better collaboration, they could develop their cognitive ability by achieving good scores and problem-solving understanding in speaking English

Published: January 2024

Pragmatics is a relatively new branch of linguistics. Pragmatics can be interpreted as a branch of linguistics that studies the meaning intended by speakers or, more often, studying language in terms of language speakers. Language plays an important role in communication. This role will impact the interlocutor's acceptance of the speaker. Sometimes, spoken language functions in a different form. What is said with what is intended is sometimes different. This study will be discussed in conversational implicature. Conversational implicature tries to analyze a conversation to obtain its true meaning. The concept of conversational implicature explains the differences between what is said and what is implied. Humor is the mental ability to find, express, or appreciate something funny or uncommon. Each implicature has a specific intent and purpose by each speaker.

Authors: Maspanov S. N. , Bogov I. A. , Sukhanov V. A.
Published: January 2024

Reduction of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere is an urgent task of modern gas turbine engineering development. Such substances that have a negative impact on the environment include nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. The article provides a review of the existing methods for reducing the emissions of pollutants used in the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels in the combustion chambers of gas turbine units, as well as indicates promising technologies developed based on these methods. Justification is presented of the necessity to study the method of ozonization of air supplied to the fuel combustion zone to reduce the content of pollutants in its combustion products. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for reducing pollutant emissions within a given range of variations regime parameters. To perform the necessary set of experimental studies, a specialized laboratory stand was created, the combined circuit and measurement scheme of which is given in the article. A rather detailed description is given of the structural elements of the stand and, in particular, of the subject of research — a full-scale vortex ignitionstabilizing module of the combustion chamber of a gas turbine unit, an electric ozonator, air and combustible gas supply systems, an exhaust system with a central fan, control and measuring instruments and fittings. The tests were carried out in accordance with specially developed methods of controlling the stand operation in three modes: startup; transfer from one steady-state mode to another; stop. The influence of air ozonization on combustion processes in the vortex ignition-stabilizing module was determined by the content of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide in it. The factors that influence the decrease in the concentration of carbon monoxide in the combustion products during the combustion of air in ozonized air have been determined. The methods of calculation determination of combustible gas and air parameters — mass flow rates, flow velocities and dynamic heads — are described. The results of the performed experimental studies are presented in graphical interpretation, their detailed analysis is given, on the basis of which recommendations on practical use of the method of air ozonization are given.

The possibility of using biomimetic approaches, in particular, the "lotus leaf" effect, expressed in the superhydrophobicity of streamlined surfaces, is considered. The results are presented of experimental studies of the influence produced by various modifications of the surface of the “plate” type canonical region on its hydraulic characteristics. The plates were streamlined in a hydrodynamic tray of rectangular cross-section. Copper plates with dimensions of 200x300x1 mm were studied. Three plates were considered, identical in geometry, but with different surface conditions — one in its original state; one with surfaces modified based on a surfactant; and one with surfaces treated by laser ablation (laser formation of a multimodal relief) with subsequent modification based on surfactants. In the course of experimental studies, the velocity distribution behind streamlined plates with different surface characteristics was obtained. Based on the nature of the velocity variations of the trail behind the streamlined plates, it is concluded that the amount of hydraulic resistance decreases due to surface modification. The weighted average velocity behind the streamlined plate increased by more than 4% for a plate with a combined modified surface compared to the original one. The process of a copper plate surface modifying using laser ablation, as well as the formation of additional surfactant molecular layers in order to achieve the maximum effect of superhydrophobicity is described. The most effective technological features of the laser ablation process are determined, such as the radiation power and frequency, the most preferred relief of modified surfaces and its geometric parameters. The most characteristic features of the influence of the surface roughness on the wetting angle (θ) are considered. With the OSA 20 complex, the wetting angles were determined for all the prepared plate samples. The research results prove the prospects of this surface modification technology for use in hydraulic machines.

Published: January 2024

The study aims to design and evaluate alternative village-based breeding plans for Afar goats in Aba’ala, Afar region, Ethiopia. The alternative breeding plans were designed and evaluated using ZPLAN+ computer program following the gene flow method and selection index procedures. Input parameters were sourced from a production system survey study, own-flock ranking exercises and literature. The breeding goal traits included six-month weight, daily milk yield and proportions of weaned kids. Four alternatives were designed based on the variation of the number of the traits in the selection index (recording) while keeping all traits in the aggregate breeding goal. Furthermore, the proposed alternative plans were evaluated by varying the years of breeding buck service period. Higher annual genetic gain was estimated for six-month weight (0.2983 kg) in alternative 4, for daily milk yield (0.0083 kg or 8.3 g) and proportion of lambs weaned (0.0142%) in alternative 1 when the years of buck use for breeding was set to two years. Higher selection accuracy was obtained in alternative 1 when all the traits were included in the selection index while lower selection accuracy was achieved in alternative 4 when six-month weight only was included in the selection index. The highest profit per doe per year was achieved in alternative 1 (1.221€) while the lowest was obtained in alternative 4 (0.885 €) when six-month weight only is included in the selection index. The simulation results gave an acceptable range of genetic gains with little difference across the alternatives. Therefore, village breeding programs with a few traits in the recording and two years of breeding buck use are deemed practicable. The proposed breeding plans should be part of the national development strategies and involvement of local research institutions and universities is very crucial to ensure adequate technical support.

Published: January 2024

The relationship between self- and informant reports of personality using psychometric instruments is constantly the focus of attention for researchers in the field of clinical assessment in psychology. The research shows weak agreement between clinicians and patients’ assessments of personality disorders (PDs). The current study aimed at the convergence of measurement of PDs using the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP-200), the self-report Character Styles Questionnaire-R (CSQ-R) and Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI). Paper-pencil questionnaires were administered to 102 inpatients (88.2% female, aged 18-64, M = 38.4) in a voivodeship hospital and outpatient health care centre. The SWAP-200 allowed us to gather expert (clinician) personality ratings basing on the intensive contact with patients. Results show that only a few SWAP-200 PD scales showed low positive correlations with corresponding self-reported PD scales from the CSQ-R. With the canonical correlation analysis, we identified two functions (borderline and internalising) that described similarities between the SWAP-200 and CSQ-R. SWAP-200 Obsessive-Compulsive PD correlated negatively with BPI scales. Consistent with previous studies, the self-report and the clinical assessment were only marginally convergent. Furthermore, OCPD stands out from other disorders in that it correlates positively with health indicators and negatively with some of the other personality disorders. The highest agreement was observed in the description of Borderline PD.

Published: January 2024

Understanding and measuring mental well-being among adolescents has recently become a priority. The validity and reliability study of the 7-item short version of the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS) has not been examined in Turkish adolescents. Therefore, this study aims to adapt the 7-item Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale to Turkish and examine the relationships between loneliness, emotional flexibility, resilience, and mental well-being. The data were collected by convenience sampling method from 820 adolescents aged 14-18 from 73 city of Turkey. During the adaptation process of SWEMWBS, confirmatory factor analysis, concurrent validity, and reliability analysis were performed. The findings confirmed the one dimensionality of the 7-item scale on the Turkish adolescent sample.

Self-esteem and emotional reactivity of actors and magicians: a comparative study
Authors: Napora Wojciech , Ekroll Vebjørn
Published: January 2024

Self-esteem and emotional reactivity may be important personality determinants of human functioning in situations of social exposure. In this study, we compared the levels of these personality variables in a group of professional theater actors and a group of professional illusionists with a control group of participants who were neither actors nor illusionists and had no artistic education. We also examined the correlations between emotional reactivity and self-esteem in the three groups. For emotional reactivity, we found (1) very strong evidence that the level is less for magicians than for controls, (2) substantial evidence that the level is less for magicians than for actors, (3) anecdotal evidence that the level is less for actors than for controls, and (4) decisive evidence that the average score is less for males than for females. For self-esteem, we found (1) anecdotal evidence that the level is higher for magicians than for controls, (2) substantial evidence that there is no difference between actors and magicians, (3) anecdotal evidence against a difference between actors and controls, and (4) anecdotal evidence against a difference between males and females. Based on the entire sample we found a moderate correlation between self-esteem and emotional reactivity (r = -.30, p < 0.001). Our results are compatible with the notion that emotional reactivity – as part of the temperament concept – is a factor influencing the choice of an artistic profession.

Sheet metal forming is used to process a substantial percentage of automobile components, and the so-called springback behavior is of primary importance, in order to obtain the final part with an accurate geometry. This paper describes a springback research that employs three different materials often used in the automobile industry: DP780, HSLA420, and AA5754. The unconstrained cylindrical bending test (UCB test) will be utilized to assess the springback prediction for selected materials. In this study, experimental data is collected and numerical results are provided utilizing finite element techniques. Results show that UCB test is an adequate benchmark for analysis of springback behavior of sheet metallic materials and it has also been observed a close agreement between numerical results and experiments.

The robot gripper works analogously to the human hand, being the end effector of a robotic mechanism and acting as a bridge between the robot and the environment. A topology optimized gripper can be fully functional while allowing weight reduction. In this paper, the topology optimization of a 316L-SS four-clamp gripper capable of withstanding a 2 N load was conducted using the nTopology software. Fusion360 static stress analysis showed a reduction of 43% in weight, keeping the safety factor above 3, and leading to a displacement of 0,0067 mm. Finally, the maximum induced stress was shown not to cause permanent deformation of the clamp since it was observed to be inferior to the yield strength of 316L-SS.

Profitability is a financial ratio that measures the ability of an entity, whether individual or company, to generate profit or earnings. Bank risk is the potential occurrence of an event that could potentially harm the bank. The Covid-19 pandemic caused banks to be highly selective in providing loans and impacted the interest income which is the main income source of the banking industry. This research aims to investigate the influence of income diversification on profitability and bank risk in the Covid-19 pandemic. The population in this study comprises all conventional commercial banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2022. The selected sample for this study consists of 42 companies. The data analysis method used is panel data regression analysis. The results indicate that income diversification has a positive impact on Profitability measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). On the other hand, income diversification has a negative impact on Risk measured using the Standard Deviation of Return on Assets (SDROA) and Standard Deviation of Return on Equity (SDROE).

Profitabilitas merupakan rasio keuangan yang mengukur kemampuan suatu entitas, baik perorangan maupun perusahaan, dalam menghasilkan keuntungan atau pendapatan. Risiko bank adalah potensi terjadinya suatu peristiwa yang berpotensi merugikan bank. Pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan perbankan menjadi sangat selektif dalam memberikan pinjaman dan berdampak pada pendapatan bunga yang merupakan sumber pendapatan utama industri perbankan.
