Problematika Ketetapan Majelis Permusyaratan Rakyat Dalam Hierarki Peraturan Perundang-Undangan di Indonesia
Authors: Ghofur Nilman
Published: February 2023

Tap MPR is one source of the legal sequences in the laws and regulations hierarchy in Indonesia. Tap MPR  contains the meaning of Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat. Tap MPR was originally included in the hierarchy of statutory regulations in 1965. It is interesting because tap MPR  is still used as a source of law in Indonesia even though legally the MPR is no longer authorized to issue decrees. This article aims to delve deeper into the problems arising from the entry and exit of Tap MPR in the laws and regulations hierarchy in Indonesia. This is very important because there will be confusion in law enforcement if the status of tap MPR changes in the source of the statutory system in Indonesia. The method used is literature by reading books and other journal articles that discuss tap MPR. All data are then analyzed with content analysis to narrow the problem and find solutions to existing problems. This article finds several things, namely that tap MPR  problem contains at least 2 sides of the problem. The first is related to the standing of the MPR and the second is the judicial review of tap MPR. This article makes an important contribution that it turns out that this problem can be solved by several legal steps taken by the government. The first is by giving the right standing to tap MPR and the second is the interpretation of the laws and regulations relating to the judicial review of Tap MPR.
Literary Discoveries
Authors: West III James L. W.
Published: February 2023

Anyone who has done work in literary archives will have made discoveries of one kind or another — unknown letters, perhaps, or early versions of works that were published later in different forms. Occasionally a scholar will find a short story, poem, essay, or memoir that has never seen print. If the author is relatively unknown or the archive unexplored, there might even be an entire novel or book of poems or collection of nonfiction that has never been published. One’s instinct is to put these texts into print. Before pursuing publication, however, certain questions should be addressed. What exactly has been discovered? Of what significance is the item? Is it finished work, or is it a project that the author abandoned? Is the discovery in the public domain? If not, who owns the literary rights? Has the piece been published already under a different title? How should the text be presented — as is, or with emendations? Where should it appear? What will the reaction from readers and colleagues likely be? Some tentative answers will be offered in this article.
Jean Toomer’s Magazine Auras
Authors: Young John K.
Published: February 2023

Drawing on George Bornstein’s idea of a “textual aura”, this essay proposes a distinct instantiation of this effect arising from the particular circumstances of periodical publication and reception, a magazine aura. Jean Toomer’s publications in a range of modernist magazines illustrate the manifestations of a magazine aura, with particular attention to Toomer’s appearances in Broom and The Little Review.
Rapid adjustments to autonomic control of cardiac rhythm at the onset of isometric exercise in healthy young adults

Published: February 2023

Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) influences on cardiac rhythm at the onset of exercise, a time of rapid autonomic adjustments, are clinically important areas of investigation. Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) involves time‐frequency‐based heart rate variability (HRV) analysis allowing investigation of autonomic influences on cardiac rhythm during short durations of exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to characterize SNS and PNS influences on cardiac rhythm at the onset of isometric exercise in healthy young adults. CWT analysis was retrospectively applied to R‐R interval data (electrocardiogram) previously collected from 14 healthy young adults (26 ± 2 years) who performed 30‐s, one‐legged, isometric, calf exercise at 70% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC; 70% MVC trial) or rested (0% MVC trial). Absolute and normalized low‐frequency (aLF, nLF; 0.04–0.15 Hz) and high‐frequency (aHF, nHF; 0.15–0.4 Hz) bands and LF/HF were used to analyze one 30‐s baseline period and six 5‐s time windows during the 30‐s exercise (70% MVC) or rest (0% MVC). Statistical analysis involved two‐way analysis of variance with post‐hoc analysis. aHF, aLF, LF/HF, nHF, and nLF displayed a trial‐time interaction (all p ≤ 0.027). In the 70% compared to the 0% MVC trial, aHF and nHF were lower after 5–30 s (all p ≤ 0.040), aLF was lower after 20–30 s (all p ≤ 0.011) and LF/HF and nLF were higher after 5–20 s (all p ≤ 0.045). These results indicate the reduction of the PNS influence on cardiac rhythm begins sooner than the augmentation of the SNS influence at the onset of isometric exercise in healthy young adults.
The Macroeconomic Effects of Shadow Banking Panics
Authors: Poeschl Johannes
Published: February 2023

We study the interaction between occasionally binding financial constraints in the traditional (retail) banking sector and banking panics in the shadow banking sector. Shadow banking panics occur when retail banks choose not to roll over their lending to shadow banks. Occasionally binding financial constraints of retail banks increase the likelihood of and amplify boom-bust dynamics around such shadow banking panics. The model can quantitatively match the dynamics of macroeconomic and financial variables around the US financial crisis. We quantify the impact of wholesale funding market interventions akin to those implemented by the Federal Reserve in 2008, finding that they reduced the fall in output by about half a percentage point. The timing of this intervention matters: an intervention before the banking panic would have been more effective and might even have avoided the panic.

Published: February 2023

Due to the influence of crystal vibration, clock offset, and clock skew, time synchronization error will be caused. This study introduces several algorithms to reduce or eliminate the influence of time synchronization error on positioning results, including iterative time-of-arrival algorithm, linear position line algorithm, classical CHAN algorithm, quadratic programming algorithm, and an improved algorithm for quadratic programming problem using weighted least squares algorithm. They are applied to two-dimensional (2D) single target, 2D multi-target, three-dimensional, and various positioning scenarios considering the influence of clock skew and clock offset for the simulation test, which overcomes the defect that the previous algorithm simulation test has few application scenarios. The results show that the iterative time-of-arrival algorithm has smaller root mean square error, higher positioning accuracy, and stable positioning results, and the algorithm has universal applicability to each positioning scene with time synchronization error.
Menschen mit außerklinischer Beatmung: Entscheidungen am Lebensende

Published: February 2023

Die außerklinische Beatmung bietet Menschen mit einer chronisch respiratorischen Insuffizienz die Chance, trotz schwerster Erkrankung weiterzuleben. Neben dieser Errungenschaft besteht die Gefahr, dass die beatmeten Personen unnötig lange leiden und ein würdevolles Sterben am Ende eines erfüllten Lebens verhindert wird. Bei der Entscheidung für oder gegen eine lebenserhaltende Beatmungstherapie ist neben der Sinnhaftigkeit der Behandlung der Wille des Menschen am Beatmungsgerät entscheidend.

Published: February 2023

Das Pflegeheim ist heute ein Ort des Lebens und des Sterbens, was sich jedoch weder im Selbstverständnis der dort Beschäftigten noch in den organisationalen Rahmenbedingungen widerspiegelt. Damit das Sterben im Heim aber nicht nur bearbeitet, sondern gestaltet werden kann – entlang der normativen Idee des ‚guten Sterbens‘ – bedarf es einer gelebten Hospizkultur und etablierter Palliativkompetenz, eingebettet in Strukturen, die das Lebensende als organisationale Aufgabe adäquat adressierbar machen.
Der Gewinnauszahlungsanspruch des GmbH-Minderheitsgesellschafters
Authors: Schockenhoff Martin
Published: February 2023

1
Der Gewinnanspruch gehört zu den wichtigsten Rechten des GmbH-Gesellschafters; je nach Realstruktur der Gesellschaft und Interessenlage ist er sogar das wichtigste Gesellschafterrecht. Bis Mitte der 1980er-Jahre konnte jeder Gesellschafter darauf vertrauen, dass der Gewinn auch tatsächlich ausgeschüttet wird, sofern nicht der Gesellschaftsvertrag etwas anderes bestimmte.

§ 29 GmbHG a. F. in der bis zum 31.12.1985 geltenden Fassung.

Dies änderte sich durch das Bilanzrichtliniengesetz vom 19. Dezember 1985.

Bundesgesetzblatt I, 1985, S. 2355.

Seitdem haben die Gesellschafter nur Anspruch auf Auszahlung des Gewinns, soweit die Gesellschafterversammlung ihn nicht per Mehrheitsbeschluss in Gewinnrücklagen einstellt oder als Gewinn vorträgt (§ 29 Abs. 1 Satz 1, Abs. 2 GmbHG). Damit wurde der Minderheitenschutz im Recht der GmbH nachhaltig geschwächt.

Allg. zum prekären Schutz des GmbH-Minderheitsgesellschafters vgl. Schockenhoff, GmbHR 2022, 945.

Für den Gesetzgeber stand das Ziel im Vordergrund, angesichts europarechtlicher Vorgaben für die Bilanzierung die Fähigkeit der Gesellschaften zur Eigenfinanzierung zu sichern. Eine Verpflichtung zur Mindestausschüttung oder eine Begründungspflicht für Thesaurierungsbeschlüsse sah der Gesetzgeber nicht vor. Die Praxis hat gezeigt, dass das der Gesellschaftermehrheit dadurch eingeräumte weite Ermessen häufig zu dem Zweck missbraucht wird, die Gesellschafterminderheit auszuhungern.In diesem Beitrag werden nach einer Darstellung der Gesetzesgeschichte (I.) die Entstehung, der Inhalt und die Durchsetzung des Gewinnauszahlungsanspruchs nach herrschendem Verständnis (II.) sowie die Schwächen dieses Konzepts (III.) dargestellt und weitergehende Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, wie Minderheitsgesellschafter de lege lata ihren Gewinnauszahlungsanspruch stärken (unten IV.) und erforderlichenfalls gerichtlich durchsetzen (unten V.) können.
Das Europäische Konzernrecht als Elefant im Raum
Authors: Schollmeyer Eberhard
Published: February 2023

Die Abgrenzung von Gesellschaftsstatut, Deliktsstatut und Insolvenzstatut berührt die Freiheit der grenzüberschreitenden Konzernbildung. Dies gibt dem EuGH die Möglichkeit, Druck auf den Sekundärrechtsgesetzgeber auszuüben, das Konzernrecht zu kodifizieren. Die hier vorgestellte Entscheidung BMA Nederland zeigt, dass der EuGH von dieser Möglichkeit nicht Gebrauch macht. Damit bleibt dies eine Aufgabe, der sich Europäische Kommission, Europäisches Parlament und Rat aus politischer Motivation annehmen müssen. Diese könnte aus der Erkenntnis erwachsen, dass ein kodifiziertes Konzernrecht die Indienstnahme von Unternehmen für öffentliche Belange erleichtert.

Published: February 2023

Background and Purpose:

Older adults with low back pain (LBP) are at risk for falling, but condition-specific mechanisms are unknown. Trunk neuromuscular function is critical for maintaining balance during mobility tasks and is often impaired in older adults with LBP. The purpose of this study was to assess whether aberrant lumbopelvic movements (or aberrant movements), a clinical index of trunk neuromuscular function, were associated with increased fall risk among older adults with chronic LBP over a 12-month follow-up period.

Methods:

This study analyzed data from a prospective cohort study of 250 community-dwelling older adults with chronic LBP. Participants were screened for 4 aberrant movements during 3 trials of forward flexion from a standing position: instability catch, painful arc, altered lumbopelvic rhythm, and Gower's sign. Aberrant movements were totaled to yield a summary score (ie, 0-4). Prospective falls were monitored via monthly fall calendars for 12 months. A generalized linear model with Poisson distribution and log link function was used to evaluate the association between aberrant movements and prospective fall risk. Age, sex, body mass index, LBP intensity, dynamic balance performance, prior falls, anxiolytic medication usage, and hip osteoarthritis characteristics were included as covariates in the model.

Results:

Baseline aberrant movements were independently associated with greater fall risk (risk ratio = 1.249, 95% CI = 1.047-1.491, P = .014); each 1-unit increase in aberrant movement score imparted a 24.9% increase in the risk of falling.

Conclusions:

Aberrant movements increased the risk of falling among older adults with chronic LBP over a 1-year span.

In this work, novel MXenes/MoS2 heterojunction of flower-like MoS2 decorated sheet-like MXenes were successfully fabricated by one-step hydrothermal approach using TiO2 as the precursor, and systematically investigated by a series of characterizations (e.g. XRD, Raman, SEM, and TEM analysis). Furthermore, the tribological behaviour of MXenes/MoS2 heterojunction in liquid paraffin were extensively examined a ball-on-disk tribometer. The effects of applied load and rotational speed were also investigated. The experimental results indicated the friction and wear was significant decreased with introduction of MXenes/MoS2 heterojunction. Especially, 5%-MXenes/MoS2-paraffin samples show the lowest friction coefficient (~0.10). Additionally, the construction and excellent tribological properties of MXenes/MoS2 heterojunction would be beneficial for the design of novel nano-additives with 2D/2D structure for enhancing friction reduction and anti-wear, which also would expand their actual applications in the industry and agriculture.

In rare-earth ion doped chalcogenide glass, the impacts of glass homogenization on optical properties were studied in this work. A series of Ge24Ga10Se65:Er1 glasses were fabricated by melt-quenching method under the same condition with different melting time. The structure of the obtained glasses was characterized, absorption and emission spectra were recorded, and lifetime of the 4 I13/2 state of Er3+ ions was measured as well. It is found that the melting time does not have obvious influence on glass structure, absorption and emission properties of erbium ions. A significant improvement on lifetime was noticed with the increase of melting time.

The electronic structures and optical properties of zigzag MoS2/WS2 heterostructure nanotubes (NTs) with different component ratio and uniaxial strain have been investigated by using first-principles calculations. The band gap of the zigzag MoS2/WS2 heterostructure NTs remains the direct band gap with different ratio of WS2 and uniaxial strain. while the band gap of which increases obviously with the increase of WS2 when the ratio is more than half. Moreover, the band gap of the zigzag MoS2/WS2 heterostructure NT decreases linearly with the increase of tensile strain, while the band gap of which increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of compressive strain. The dielectric spectra occur blue shift with the increase of component ratio of WS2. The static dielectric constants decrease monotonously with the increase of the ratio of WS2. Interestingly, the dielectric spectra for parallel and perpendicular to the tube axis exhibit opposite shift under the same strain. The static dielectric constants of which also show the different variation tendency under the same strain. These results suggest that the zigzag MoS2/WS2 heterostructure NTs can be promising candidates for optoelectronic applications.

In the first step SnO2 gel were obtained followed by the next step of addition of precursor of cadmium and sulfide salts. Films were grown on cellulose flexible substrate using spin coating method. All the samples were analyzed using structural, morphological and optical characterizations. In X ray diffractograms, tetragonal rutile structure is observed with shift in peak towards lower angle due to tensile strain. SEM micrographs show that the ring like structure converted into flake like structures. AFM micrographs also confirm the ring like or porous film converted into flake. Photoluminescence spectra exhibits the intensity of SnO2-CdS decreases as compared to SnO2. Optical transmittance confirms the formation of nanocomposite due to additional band was observed in nanocomposites.
p53 protects against alcoholic fatty liver disease via ALDH2 inhibition
Authors: Yao Pengbo , Zhang Zhenxi , Liu Hongchao , Jiang Peng , Li Wei , Du Wenjing
Published: February 2023

The tumor suppressor p53 is critical for tumor suppression, but the regulatory role of p53 in alcohol‐induced fatty liver remains unclear. Here, we show a role for p53 in regulating ethanol metabolism via acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a key enzyme responsible for the oxidization of alcohol. By repressing ethanol oxidization, p53 suppresses intracellular levels of acetyl‐CoA and histone acetylation, leading to the inhibition of the stearoyl‐CoA desaturase‐1 (SCD1) gene expression. Mechanistically, p53 directly binds to ALDH2 and prevents the formation of its active tetramer and indirectly limits the production of pyruvate that promotes the activity of ALDH2. Notably, p53‐deficient mice exhibit increased lipid accumulation, which can be reversed by ALDH2 depletion. Moreover, liver‐specific knockdown of SCD1 alleviates ethanol‐induced hepatic steatosis caused by p53 loss. By contrast, overexpression of SCD1 in liver promotes ethanol‐induced fatty liver development in wild‐type mice, while it has a mild effect on p53−/− or ALDH2−/− mice. Overall, our findings reveal a previously unrecognized function of p53 in alcohol‐induced fatty liver and uncover pyruvate as a natural regulator of ALDH2.
Metáforas de interacción en la poesía de Antonio Martínez Sarrión
Authors: Acebo Bello Héctor
Published: February 2023

En la poesía de Antonio Martínez Sarrión ―exponente de la neovanguardista generación de los Novísimos― se cumple la validez de la teoría interaccionista de la metáfora. Según este enfoque ideado por Richards, la mencionada figura retórica no consiste en la sustitución de una palabra por otra, pues entre los dos campos semánticos se producen relaciones. En consecuencia, debido a esa interacción, una paráfrasis literal no podría reemplazar a una metáfora sin que se produjese una pérdida de significado. Martínez Sarrión marca la relación entre el plano real y el irreal de la metáfora a través de las identificaciones, los adjetivos, los verbos, las preposiciones, los nexos comparativos y las aposiciones.

Дана характеристика криогенных деформаций (криотурбаций и грунтовых жил), их морфологии и возраста в голоценовых пойменных отложениях в бассейне р. Селенги в условиях сезонной, прерывистой, островной и редкоостровной многолетней мерзлоты в речных долинах. В разрезах пойменных отложений рек Итанца, Илька, Орхон выявлены позднеголоценовые грунтовые жилы и криотурбации в сезонномерзлом слое. Определено время формирования криогенных деформаций на основе детального изучения строения и датирования отложений низкой и высокой пойм рек Итанца, Илька, Орхон. Возраст аллювия с криотурбациями на низкой пойме моложе 2 тысяч лет. На высокой пойме криогенные деформации формировались в позднем голоцене (последние 4.2 тысячи лет). Установлено, что слои аллювия с криотурбациями постилаются влажными и мокрыми гумусированными супесями и суглинками. Криогенные деформации являются палеоклиматическим индикатором условий позднего голоцена Забайкалья, Северной и Центральной Монголии.

The morphology and age of cryogenic deformations (cryoturbations and ground wedges) in the Holocene floodplain sediments of river valleys in the Selenga River basin within the areas of seasonal, discontinuous, sporadic, and isolated permafrost were studied. Late Holocene ground wedges and cryoturbations were identified in the seasonally frozen layer of floodplain sections of the Itantsa, Il’ka, and Orkhon rivers. The time of formation of the cryogenic deformations was determined on the basis of detailed morphological descriptions and dating of low and high floodplain sediments of these rivers. The age of the alluvium with cryoturbation on the low floodplain is less than 2 kyr. Cryogenic deformations on the high floodplain formed in the Late Holocene (the last 4.2 kyr). It was determined that alluvium layers with cryoturbation are underlain by moderately wet to satiated wet loamy sands and loams. Cryogenic deformations are considered a paleoclimatic indicator of the Late Holocene in the Transbaikal region and northern and central Mongolia.

The sample consisted of 135 persons with physical and sensory disabilities from the department of Meta (Colombia). An ad hoc instrument was used, consisting of ten items that inquire about the perception of opportunities for care in general medicine, specialized medicine, and delivery of medicines. The results indicate a moderately favorable perception in relation to the times for the assignment of medical appointments; and an unfavorable perception of the waiting times when attending the consultation and in the delivery of medicines. These results show the importance of the health entities in the department of Meta to improve the care provided to these people to guarantee their right to receive timely care and thus improve their quality of life.
Sleep and perform, exploring the relationship between lucid dreaming and creative performance: a PBL proposal
Authors: Candida Filgueira Arias
Published: February 2023

The creative performance, as well as other exclusively human capabilities will be the qualities that the future workers must have, due to what has been called the fourth industrial revolution. Therefore, teachers have the obligation to investigate and innovate on new techniques and implement methodologies that promote these skills. The Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology has shown great benefits in this regard, and there are innovative fields, such as lucid dreams, which could be a new tool for enhancing creative performance. Therefore, the aims of this work were to review the related literature to verify that an intervention using the PBL methodology could be combined with research in lucid dreams in an applicable, relevant, well-founded, coherent, and original way. The second aim was to develop an ABP proposal with these elements to enhance the critical skills that students will need in the future, with special emphasis on creativity. We conclude that this proposal meets the revised characteristics, and we include the design of the proposal, gathering these elements. As a continuation of this work, we intend to carry out an investigation analyzing the data that may be offered by different classrooms that apply the program.

For the first time, patterns of changes in the ratio of immunity indicators were revealed in chronic acquired toxoplasmosis — leukocyte intoxication index (LII), CD3, immunoregulatory index (IRI), total immunoglobulins, adaptive and compensatory reactions (tension coefficient) and functional state of the central nervous system (CNS) — changes in electroencephalographic research (EEG) according to the stem-diencephalic type — with the help of available informative methods, which allowed to assess the severity of the course, plan treatment and predict the outcome of the disease, without resorting to complex research methods. It has been established that the host-parasite relationship and clinical manifestations in chronic acquired toxoplasmosis largely depend on the protective and adaptive reactions and compensatory capabilities of the human body.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the most aggressive tumor of the human body and has morphological features of cancers with epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). The aim of our study to improve morphological features for SCLC course prediction based on researching of EMT and stem cells phenotype at the molecular-biological level. The prognostic significance of pancytokeratin, vimentin, E-cadherin and N-cadherin expression, EMT stage and expression of CD44 for overall survival and their influence on the spread of the tumor were established. It was proved that the presence of EMT is associated with extensive forms of SCLC (p < 0.01), the overall survival of patients with SCLC depended on the presence of EMT (p < 0.01) and its stage (p < 0.01).

Published: February 2023

The detection of X-rating content on the Internet is still rarely done in Indonesia and the performance of the existing work to detect X-rating content, especially in video is still low. The largest video portal, YouTube, does not yet have automatic X-rating content detection through its content either. Some X-rating content prevention service providers in Indonesia, such as the Internet Positive and Nawala Project, detect X-rating content using the keyword detection method of a web page and then block the web page with DNS filtering. However, that method does not pay attention to usingÂ  Bahasa-Slang. This work developed Metasearch named Safedio. Safedio aims to detect X-rating content on YouTube content through video titles that contain Bahasa-Slang. Safedio utilizes Query Expansion and Rule-Based approaches. The Query Expansion is a technique to get additional rules in search. In the end, Safedio can detect X-rating content through video titles in both Bahasa and Bahasa-Slang. The average results return with precision 71%, recall 46% and accuracy 72%.

Corruption gives major problem to many countries. It gives negative impact to a nation economy. People also realized that corruption comes from two sides, demand from the authority and supply from corporate. On that regard, corporates may have their part in fight against corruption in the form of anti- corruption disclosure (ACD). This study proposes new method of ACD prediction in corporate using deep learning. The data in this study are taken from every companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from the year 2017 to 2019. The companies can be categorized in 9 categories and the data set has 8 features. The overall data has 1826 items in which 1032 items are ACD and the other 794 items are non-ACD. In this study, the deep neural network or deep learning is composed from input layer, output layer and 3 hidden layers. The deep neural network uses Adam optimizer with learning rate 0.0010, batch size 16 and epochs 500. The drop out is set to 0.05. The accuracy result from deep learning in predicting ACD is considered good with the average training accuracy is 74.76% and average testing accuracy is 76.37%. However, the loss result isnâ€™t good with average training loss and testing loss are respectively 51.76% and 50.96%. Since the aim of the study to find the possibility of deep learning as alternative of logistic regression in ACD prediction, accuracy comparison from deep learning and logistic regression is held. Deep learning has average prediction accuracy of 76.37% is better than logistic regression with average accuracy of 67.15%. Deep learning also has higher minimum accuracy and maximum accuracy compared to logistic regression. This study concludes that deep learning may give alternatives in ACD prediction compared the more common method of logistic regression.

Published: February 2023

This study aims to classify potential customersâ€™ characteristics based on non- performing loans through the random forest method. This research uses data obtained from Syariah Mandiri Bank branch in Jambi, which includes data on micro-financing customers in years 2016â€“2020. The random forest method is used for analysis. The novelty of this work is that, unlike existing researches that used other soft-computing methods, we employ Random Forest method, specifically using an imbalanced class sampling technique. The obtained results show that credit risk can be estimated by taking into account factors such as age, monthly installments, margin, price of insurance, loan principal, occupation, and long installments. The research results indicate that the sensitivity, precision, and G-mean value increase compared to using the original data. Random forest with oversampling technique has the high Area Under the ROC Curve score that is equal to 66.69%.

The purpose of this study is to develop a stemming method by involved several methods including morphological (with affix and pro-lexeme removal), syllable (canonical) pattern, and corpus data as a comparison of the final results of stemming. The algorithm checks a number of the string first and removes affixes, then check the syllable pattern according to the stripping result, then compares to the corpus data which determines the final stemming process. In this study, the corpus data was taken from Sundanese dictionary consists of a single word used for the root word and the extracted dataset from the online Sundanese magazine. The results showed that the stripping of affix and pro-lexeme can remove the corresponding affixes and pro-lexeme then compares words that have a syllable pattern then executes the basic words quickly and the use of corpus can improve accuracy and reduce the over-stemming problems that occur in the stemming process.

Technology in agriculture has been widely and massively applied. One of them is automation technology and the use of big data through the Internet of Things (IoT). The use of IoT allows a process to run automatically without human intervention. Extreme weather changes and narrow land use are one of the main problems in agriculture. The development of IoT devices has been widely developed regarding this subject. One of them is a soil moisture detection system. This study aims to build an IoT soil moisture detection system. The system will use a sensor as input which is then processed in a microcontroller device and the prediction results are sent to the IoT cloud platform. Prediction results are obtained using a time series model and then its performance is evaluated using RMSE. This model was chosen because the structure of the observed soil moisture data is based on time. The results of this study indicate that the soil moisture IoT system can work well. This is supported by the results of the prediction evaluation value of the RMSE = 1.175682x10-5 model which is very small.
Foundation Phase teachers’ challenges in teaching reading in South Africa
Authors: Dagada Murunwa
Published: February 2023

The reading ability of learners in the Foundation Phase through the development of reading proficiency at an early age could determine learning. With the study reported on here I intended to explore the challenges faced by Foundation Phase teachers in teaching reading. I used a qualitative approach and employed an explanatory case study design. The study was guided by the social constructivist theory of German psychologist, Max Wertheimer. Twelve participants (n = 12) were purposively selected from 4 schools in the Vhembe district in the Limpopo province, South Africa. These were learners who performed poorly in reading. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. I recorded that the Foundation Phase teachers experienced various challenges, namely overcrowded classrooms, a lack of resources and support from the school management team and parents, and poor knowledge of reading instruction. I further recorded that teachers’ inability to administer assessment tasks, as prescribed by the Department of Education, might be addressed through workshops, which might also alert teachers to the value of pre-reading and setting learning outcomes before reading lessons.

The eye is one a unique sophisticated human sense organ with a complex anatomical structure. It is encased by variety of protective barriers as responsible for vision. There has been a paradigm shift in the prevalence of several major vision threatening ocular conditions with enhanced reliance on computer-based technologies in our workaday life and work-from-home modalities although aging, pollution, injury, harmful chemicals, lifestyle changes will always remain the root cause. Treating posterior eye diseases is a challenge faced by clinicians worldwide. The clinical use of conventional drug delivery systems for posterior eye targeting is restricted by the ocular barriers. Indeed, for overcoming various ocular barriers for efficient delivery of the therapeutic moiety and prolonged therapeutic effect requires prudent and target-specific approaches. Therefore, for efficient drug delivery to the posterior ocular segment, advancements in the development of sustained release and nanotechnology-based ocular drug delivery systems have gained immense importance. Therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance are of paramount importance in clinical translation of these investigative drug delivery systems. This review provides an insight into the various strategies employed for improving the treatment efficacies of the posterior eye diseases. Various drug delivery systems such as systemic and intraocular injections, implants have demonstrated promising outcomes, along with that they have also exhibited side-effects, limitations and strategies employed to overcome them are discussed in this review. The application of artificial intelligence-based technologies along with an appreciation of disease, delivery systems, and patient-specific outcomes will likely enable more effective therapy for targeting the posterior eye segment.
