Complexity of Digital Quantum Simulation in the Low-Energy Subspace: Applications and a Lower Bound
Authors: Gong Weiyuan , Zhou Shuo , Li Tongyang
Published: July 2024

Digital quantum simulation has broad applications in approximating unitary evolution of Hamiltonians. In practice, many simulation tasks for quantum systems focus on quantum states in the low-energy subspace instead of the entire Hilbert space. In this paper, we systematically investigate the complexity of digital quantum simulation based on product formulas in the low-energy subspace. We show that the simulation error depends on the effective low-energy norm of the Hamiltonian for a variety of digital quantum simulation algorithms and quantum systems, allowing improvements over the previous complexities for full unitary simulations even for imperfect state preparations due to thermalization. In particular, for simulating spin models in the low-energy subspace, we prove that randomized product formulas such as qDRIFT and random permutation require smaller Trotter numbers. Such improvement also persists in symmetry-protected digital quantum simulations. We prove a similar improvement in simulating the dynamics of power-law quantum interactions. We also provide a query lower bound for general digital quantum simulations in the low-energy subspace.

Authors: Gritsko M.A. ,   The Economic Research Institute FEB RAS
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of demographic dynamics of the Far East and its constituent entities over the past decade. It is shown that the time period under consideration, despite active measures on the part of the federal and regional authorities aimed at the socio-economic development of the macroregion and improving the demographic situation, was characterized by the persistence of downward population dynamics. An assessment is made of the components that determine the nature of demographic dynamics. A classification of Far Eastern subjects according to the type of demographic dynamics and its components is given. It is shown that belonging of the Far-Eastern subjects to one or another type of demographic dynamics is quite stable over time. Demographic forecast data for the period up to 2046 indicate that in the future there will be no fundamental changes in distribution of the Far-Eastern subjects according to the nature of demographic dynamics.

Authors: Kirilina E. Yu.
Published: July 2024

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of newly formed states appeared on the geopolitical map of the world, some of which are located in Central Asia. As one of the largest and most influential countries in Europe, Germany sought to establish strong economic, political and cultural ties with these countries. The author pays attention to the stages of development of bilateral relations from the early 90s to the present.Aim. The aim of this study is to identify key aspects of German foreign policy in the region, focusing on relations with Kazakhstan.Tasks. Study the main stages of the development of diplomatic relations between Germany and Kazakhstan. Identify the current state of relations between Germany and Kazakhstan. Explore possible expansion of economic ties and prospects for future cooperation. Show the importance of studying the foreign policy of Germany in relation to Kazakhstan for the Russian Federation.Methods. The research methodology is based on historical analysis, which helped to identify the stages of development of international relations between the two states. The comparative analysis defines the differences in the foreign policy line of Germany towards Kazakhstan at different stages. Regular summit meetings were the objects of event analysis.Results. By examining historical context, economic partnerships, and geopolitical considerations, it is possible to investigate the dynamics shaping German engagement in Central Asia.Conclusions. The genesis of the development of interstate relations was the collapse of the USSR, which served to form sovereign states in the post-Soviet space. The development of bilateral relations is characterized by several stages: some of them were characterized by stagnation, others, by an increase in the attention of Germany to Kazakhstan. The beginning of 2022 served to intensify Germany’s foreign policy in the region. At the present stage, Germany uses a multi-pronged approach that includes diplomatic, economic, cultural and educational components. Germany’s foreign policy in the region is aimed at protecting its national interests. Secondly, the partnership with Kazakhstan is a symbol of Germany’s shared foreign policy goals, emphasizing the importance of cooperation, dialogue and joint development efforts in the heart of Eurasia.
Prospects for the Convergence of the Legislation of the EAEU Countries Regarding the Legal Regulation of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Melnikova E. N.
Published: July 2024

This study is devoted to the analysis of the prospects for the convergence of the legislation of the EAEU countries regarding the legal regulation of artificial intelligence (AI).Aim. To identify the need and identify the prerequisites for supranational legal regulation of AI in the EAEU. Tasks. To list the features of AI that necessitate supranational legal regulation in the context of analyzing the consequences for the purposes of the EAEU. To make a classification and analyze the prerequisites for the formation of the will of the EAEU member states to bring together the legislation of the EAEU countries in terms of legal regulation of AI.Methods. The problem-theoretical, formal-legal, logical, system-structural method and the method of comparison are used.Results. The study showed that such features of AI technologies as the ability to cause cross-border harm and the ability to autonomous processes require: a) the establishment of legal limits for delegating human authority to a machine that are uniform for the EAEU states, which is achieved by establishing administrative responsibilities for participants in the life cycle of AI systems and applications; b) developing a unified approach to eliminating the “responsibility gap” for the harm caused by AI and its legal consolidation in the law of the EAEU, which is achieved through supranational regulation of AI on these issues. The lack of “uniform norms” regarding the distribution of responsibility for harm produces legal conflicts that contribute to the creation of obstacles to the functioning of internal markets and asymmetries in the development of AI within the EAEU. The results of the analysis of the prerequisites for the formation of the will of the EAEU member states to bring together the legislation of the EAEU countries in terms of legal regulation of AI allow us to state the absence of prerequisites for a unified policy of the EAEU countries in the creation and use of AI, and consequently, the prospects for the convergence of legislation in the field of public relations through the formation of supranational legal regulation. However, the EAEU law does not contain obstacles to the implementation of a unified AI policy in the future.Conclusions. The specifics of AI technologies require supranational legal regulation of AI, at least in matters of allocation of responsibility for harm caused by AI in order to avoid legal conflicts that contribute to the creation of obstacles to the functioning of internal markets and asymmetries in the development of AI within the EAEU. Despite the current lack of prerequisites, the EAEU law does not contain obstacles to the convergence of the legislation of the EAEU countries in terms of legal regulation of AI in the event of such a decision.

Authors: Silva Telles Timóteo da
Published: July 2024

Consideramos uma única partícula difusiva que sofre reinícios não-estáticos, i.e. variantes no tempo, e está imersa num campo potencial também variante no tempo, sob a hipótese de que os reinícios não afetam o potencial. Exibimos alguns resultados novos referentes a momentos e auto-correlação do processo. Observamos que o processo mantém uma correlação sempre positiva entre passado e futuro. Ademais, discutimos sobre uma medida do custo envolvido para reiniciar o processo até que o mesmo atinja um objetivo definido. Além disso, ilustramos o comportamento do processo em exemplos elucidados tanto analiticamente quanto por meio de simulações computacionais, verificando a importância da relação entre a forma funcional do potencial e da função de reinício. Em particular, notamos nos exemplos simulados que a existência do campo potencial pode impedir o processo de atingir um objetivo, mesmo que haja reinício.

Published: July 2024

Microclimatic conditions in facilities for housing and rearing young category
of breeding dairy cattle at the first 30 days after birth, have a
significant impact on the quality of welfare, especially in intensive
production. The parameters most often taken into account when evaluating
microclimate conditions are: temperature and air humidity, the mutual
relationship of which represents the THI (temperature-humid index) index;
speed of air flow; air quality (presence of dust and ammonia) and level of
light in the facility. The quality of the microclimate in the facilities is
directly influenced by the climatic conditions in the external environment,
therefore study period on 2 farms (A and B) with an intensive production
system was divided into 4 seasons (autumn, winter, spring and summer).
Holstein Friesian calves were observed in the period from birth to 30 days
of age. The worst microclimatic conditions were recorded during the summer
season on both farms (1129 on farm A and 1114 calves on farm B suffered),
while the situation was more favorable during the colder period. Also, the
best conditions, on both farms, were provided for calves in the first 7 days
of life. The most unfavorable impact was the high air temperature, while the
air flow, paradoxically, improved the air quality, especially during that
period. The overall welfare quality score was similar on the observed farms,
2.25 on farm A and 2.12 on farm B, which can be considered acceptable. At
the same time, it indicates the presence of serious problems, the solution
of which must be approached most seriously.

Published: July 2024

The primary objective of this research was to evaluate boar ejaculate
variability and the occurrence of anomalies in spermatozoa, considering
climatic factors during spermatogenesis breed, and utilization frequency.
This study involved 17 boars (n=129 ejaculates) and fertility testing was
conducted during the most critical period of the year, from August to
October. The observed sperm characteristics included: ejaculate volume
(VOL), sperm concentration (CON, spermatozoa/ml), total number and number of
functional spermatozoa (NT, NF), percentage of sperm motility in the native
ejaculate and after dilution (MOTN, MOTD), number of produced doses (NPD),
percentage of dead and live spermatozoa (PM, PZ), and sperm anomalies. The
assessment of the effect was performed using a General Linear Model
procedure. The breed did not influence sperm variability, while the
frequency of boar utilization impacted on the occurrence of secondary
anomalies. The determined regression coefficient indicated that extending
the interval by one day increased PPPK by 0.340-0.348%. The maximum daily
temperature during semen collection (model 1) and the value of the TH index
during semen collection (model 3) influenced ejaculate volume. An increase
of one ? in temperature, or one unit in THI value, led to a (p<0.05)
increase in VOL by 3.540 ml and 2.798 ml, respectively. Furthermore, the
maximum daily temperature (model 2) and the TH index value (model 4) at the
beginning of the epididymal phase of spermatogenesis had an impact on semen
motility, as well as the percentage of live and dead spermatozoa.

Published: July 2024

The study evaluated the effect of additives treatment on the chemical
composition and silage quality of soybean husk in a 28-day experiment, using
completely randomised design. Soybean husk was chopped into 1-3 cm length
and ensiled in a laboratory silo. There were four treatments consisting of
the control (no additive treatment; T1), urea treatment (T2), molasses
treatment (T3) and urea and molasses treatment (T4). The colour of the
silages was goldenrod, dark goldenrod, peru and burly wood for T1, T2, T3
and T4 respectively. Except for T2 which had a pungent smell, silage smell
was generally pleasant. All the silages had firm texture. Silage
temperature, ether extract and propionic acid were (P>0.05) not affected by
treatments. Silage dry matter and ammonia-nitrogen were higher (P<0.05) in
T2 than in other treatments. Silage organic matter, non-fibre carbohydrates,
neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, acid detergent lignin,
hemicellulose, cellulose and butyric acid were higher P<0.05) in the control
relative to the additive treatments. Crude protein of the silages was lowest
and highest (P<0.05) in T1 and T4 respectively. Silage pH was lower in T3
than in other treatments. Acetic and lactic acids of the silages were
affected by additives treatment, and increased in the order: T1 < T2 < T3 <
T4 (P<0.05). In conclusion, additives treatment enhanced the nutritive and
fermentation qualities of soybean husk. However, urea and molasses treatment
produced the best results.
Assessment of residual nitrite levels in cooked sausages: Compliance, thermal processing effects, and consumer safety

Published: July 2024

The increasing global consumption of processed meat, which often contains
nitrite as a preservative, raises health concerns due to potential adverse
effects from its metabolites, such as nitric oxide and N-nitroso compounds.
The study sought to evaluate the food safety of processed meat products
within the Serbian market, specifically in the Belgrade region. Nitrite
levels were analysed in cooked sausages, both in their raw state and after
undergoing the manufacturer's recommended thermal processing prior to
consumption, if applicable. Additionally, thus far, there has been a lack of
research exploring the potential influence of residual nitrite levels in the
meat products prepared as per manufacturer recommendations prior to the
consumption of meat products, as well as their contribution to acceptable
daily intake (ADI), which provides crucial insights into the overall dietary
safety of processed meats. During a three-year period, the study performed
analysis on a total of 77 cooked sausages, following the standard ISO
methodology. Boiling the cooked sausages led to a major reduction in this
meatproduct additive, whereas frying led to a comparatively smaller decrease
in nitrite concentration. Additionally, the greatest exposure to nitrite
compounds occurs when consuming meat products without prior preparation,
i.e., without thermal treatment by consumers before ingestion. In summary,
the assessment of the ADI for nitrites revealed a high level of food safety,
with all values noticeably below the maximum permitted levels specified by
national legislation (150 mg/kg).
Peoples, nations and social heterogeneity. From Hegel to Laclau and back
Authors: Tangorra Manuel
Published: July 2024

Ernesto Laclau?s work, On Populist Reason, is a crucial landmark in the
attempts of post-modern political philosophy to grasp the logic of
contingency at work in the production of political subjects. However, in
recent years, this post-foundationalist approach seems to have reached an
impasse when confronted with the persistence, success and efficacy of
certain poles of identification that seem to resist the idea of a radical
contingency of collective engagements. I argue that a new dialogue between
the Hegelian philosophy of history and Laclau?s post-foundationalism can be
fruitful in overcoming this stalemate. Rather than reigniting the debate
surrounding historicism, Laclau?s evocation of the notion of peoples without
history allows for an exploration of the radical heterogeneity implied in
the situational, somatic, and affective rootedness of the formation of
historical identities. I ground this hypothesis in a detailed examining of
Hegel?s own take on the a-historical spiritual formations and on the
difference he makes between the ?people?, as institutionalized collective
consciousness and the ?nation? as its situated genesis. I claim that this
Hegelian dialectic approach to nationhood far from does not limit the
political horizons to the ?nationalist? or ?nativist? rhetoric. Instead, it
offers a new light on the challenges of post-foundationalist approaches when
it comes to understanding the concreteness of political subjectivation.
Bi-directional extensional control of the Berane Basin formation, northern Montenegro
Authors: Stefanovic Katarina , Krstekanic Nemanja
Published: July 2024

The Berane Basin is a Miocene, northeast?southwest oriented intramountain basin of the Dinarides, overlying the pre?neotectonic basement of the Drina?Ivanjica unit, the East Bosnian?Durmitor unit and the Western Vardar Zone. The structural evolution and the tectonic regimes that controlled the formation of the Berane Basin are not fully understood. In this paper, we conducted field kinematic analysis by applying fault?slip inversion to derive paleostress regimes and study the deformation phases that led to the formation of the Berane Basin. Observed deformation is related to the latest Oligocene?Miocene extension in two directions, perpendicular and parallel to the Dinarides orogen. Such bi?directional extension resulted in a complex fault pattern where, among observed normal, oblique and strike?slip faults, those with oblique?normal slip dominate. The observed faults likely form a system of mutually overprinting half?grabens, mainly driven by orogen?parallel extension associated with the large?scale regional Skadar?Pec Fault, while orogen?perpendicular extension has subordinate effects on the Berane Basin formation.
En bloc kidney transplantation of an infant to an adolescent girl - one-year follow-up

Published: July 2024

Introduction. En bloc kidney transplantation (EBKT) overcomes the problems of insufficient nephron mass of the solitary kidney of the youngest donors and the creation of a vascular anastomosis with small blood vessels. Although there are positive experiences with EBKT in adult patients, there is little data in pediatric recipients. Case outline. The kidney donor was a six-month-old male infant (7 kg), and the recipient was a 16-year-old adolescent girl (58.7 kg). The estimated glomerular filtration rate increased during the one-year follow-up after EBKT and reached 88.8 ml/min/1.73 m2, which was accompanied by an increase in the dimensions of the medial and lateral kidneys. Normalization of proteinuria and tubular functions occurred six and 12 months after transplantation, respectively. Conclusion. EBKT in an adolescent girl was performed without vascular complications, with satisfactory kidney function and physiological values of proteinuria after a one-year follow-up. EBKT of infants could increase the number of cadaveric donors but also enable better function and survival of the graft, given that the growth and functional maturation of the infant?s kidneys continue postnatally in the body of the graft recipient.

OBJECTIVE

To determine bidirectional associations between the timing of chronic diabetes complications (CDCs) and mental health disorders (MHDs) in individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We used a nationally representative health care claims database to identify matched individuals with type 1 or 2 diabetes or without diabetes using a propensity score quasirandomization technique stratified by age (0–19, 20–39, 40–59, and ≥60 years). CDCs and MHDs were identified using ICD-9/10 codes. We fit Cox proportional hazards models with time-varying diagnoses of CDCs or MHDs to investigate their association with the hazard of developing MHDs or CDCs, respectively.

RESULTS

From 2001 to 2018, a total of 553,552 individuals were included (44,735 with type 1 diabetes, 152,187 with type 2 diabetes, and 356,630 without diabetes). We found that having a CDC increased the hazard of developing an MHD (hazard ratio [HR] 1.9–2.9; P < 0.05, with higher HRs in older age strata), and having an MHD increased the hazard of developing a CDC (HR 1.4–2.5; P < 0.05, with the highest HR in age stratum 0–19 years). In those aged <60 years, individuals with type 1 diabetes were more likely to have CDCs, whereas individuals with type 2 diabetes were more likely to have MHDs. However, the relationship between CDCs and MHDs in either direction was not affected by diabetes type (P > 0.05 for interaction effects).

CONCLUSIONS

We found a consistent bidirectional association between CDCs and MHDs across the life span, highlighting the important relationship between CDCs and MHDs. Prevention and treatment of either comorbidity may help reduce the risk of developing the other.

Published: July 2024

Background and purpose: Magnetically controlled motorized intramedullary lengthening nails (ILNs) can be employed for simultaneous correction of angular deformities of the distal femur and leg length discrepancy. This spares typical complications of external fixators but requires precise preoperative planning and exact intraoperative execution. To date, its results are insufficiently reported. We aimed to elucidate the following questions: (i) Is acute angular deformity correction and gradual femoral lengthening via a retrograde ILN a reliable and precise treatment option? (ii) What are the most common complications of treatment?Methods: Acute angular deformity correction and subsequent gradual lengthening of the distal femur with retrograde ILN was retrospectively analyzed in 45 patients (median patient age: 15 years, interquartile range [IQR] 13–19 and median follow-up: 40 months, IQR 31–50). Outcome parameters were accuracy, precision, reliability, bone healing, and complications of treatment.Results: The median distraction was 46 mm (IQR 29–49), median distraction and consolidation index 0.9 mm/day (IQR 0.7–1.0) and 29 days/cm (IQR 24–43), respectively. The median preoperative mechanical axis deviation (MAD) was 30 mm (IQR 23–39) in the varus cohort and –25 mm (IQR –29 to –15) in the valgus cohort and reduced to a mean of 8 mm (standard deviation [SD] 8) and –3 (SD 10), respectively. Accuracy, precision, and reliability of lengthening were 94%, 95% and 96%, respectively. Accuracy and precision of deformity correction were 92% and 89%, respectively. In total, 40/45 of patients achieved distraction with a difference of less than 1 cm from the initial plan and a postoperative MAD ranging from –10 mm to +15 mm. In 13/45 patients unplanned additional surgeries were conducted to achieve treatment goal with nonunion being the most frequent (4/45) and knee subluxation (3/45) the most severe complication.Conclusion: Acute deformity correction and subsequent lengthening of the distal femur with retrograde ILN is a reliable and accurate treatment achieving treatment goal in 89% but unplanned additional surgeries in 29% of patients should be anticipated.

Published: July 2024

Background and purpose: First-line treatment (education, exercise) for patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) aims to reduce pain and improve function. We aimed to compare progression to joint replacement within 5 years between responders and non-responders to first-line treatment for hip and knee OA, respectively.Methods: This observational study included data for 30,524 knee OA and 13,787 hip OA patients from the Swedish Osteoarthritis Register, linked with the Swedish Arthroplasty Register, Statistics Sweden, and the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. The primary prognostic factor was change in pain between baseline and 3-month follow-up, measured on a numeric rating scale (0–10, best to worst) where an improvement of ≥ 2 was classified as responder and ≤ 1 as non-responder. The main outcome was progression to joint replacement surgery within 5 years, assessed using baseline adjusted multivariable Cox regression analyses.Results: At 5 years, in hip OA, 35% (95% confidence interval [CI] 32.2–37.2) of the responders and 48% (CI 45.9–49.5) of the non-responders and in knee OA 14% (CI 13.0–15.3) of the responders and 20% (CI 18.8–20.8) of the non-responders had progressed to joint replacement. Being a responder to the treatment was associated with having a lower probability of progression to surgery for both hip OA (hazard ratio [HR] 0.4, CI 0.4–0.5) and knee OA (HR 0.6, CI 0.5–0.6).Conclusion: Patients with hip or knee OA who experienced pain relief after a first-line OA treatment program were less likely to progress to joint replacement surgery.

A study was conducted during the month of December, 2023 and January, 2024 to evaluate the effect of cow urine distillate and Panchgavya supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics and blood biochemical parameters of broiler chickens. A total of 200 day-old broiler chicks were uniformly distributed into four treatment groups with 50 birds per treatment for a period of 42 days. The dietary treatments were T1:  Basal diet, T2: Basal diet+1 ml cow urine distillate (CUD) in drinking water bird-1 day-1, T3: Basal diet+1 ml Panchgavya in drinking water bird-1 day-1 and T4: Basal diet+50 mg of Commercial feed grade antibiotic (Tylosin phosphate) kg-1 of feed. Results revealed that the mean final body weight and body weight gain in broiler chickens were not influenced by the inclusion of CUD and Panchgavya. There was no effect on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics and blood biochemical parameters due to CUD and Panchgavya supplementation in broiler chickens. The feed conversion ratio was better in Panchgavya and feed antibiotic groups than the control group. The serum cholesterol level was significantly (p<0.05) reduced in Panchgavya and feed antibiotic groups followed by CUD group than the control. It may be concluded that supplementation cow urine distillate and Panchgavya in broiler chickens did not influence growth performance, feed intake, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics and blood biochemical parameters. Panchgavya and feed antibiotic supplementation improved feed conversion ratio and reduced serum cholesterol level in broiler chickens.

Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Offshore Wind Industry: The Case of French Wind Farms
Authors: Fredouet Charles Henri
Published: July 2024

The development of the offshore wind industry faces a number of organizational and economic hurdles, often strong societal resistance and the instability of public policies, thus drawing interest from academics who have analyzed this process from multiple viewpoints. This body of knowledge has served as the basis for a study aiming at characterizing France’s first three offshore wind farm projects, which finally reached the energy production stage after over ten years of development. Results show that although this development has been the subject of atypically strong social opposition, the projects’ features are quite close to those highlighted by the literature.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the type of immunization and the province of origin of children under two years of age (BADUTA) in Indonesia in 2020. This study uses a loglinear model approach to analyze DPT-HB-Hib4 and Measles/MR2 immunization data based on gender and home province. Data was obtained from the Directorate General of Disease Prevention and Control of the Indonesian Ministry of Health. Through statistical analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software, this research found that there is a relationship between the type of immunization and the child's province of origin. The chi-square test results show that there is a significant relationship between the type of immunization and the child's province of origin. Of the several loglinear models tested, the (J, VP) model is considered the best model based on Goodness-of-fit criteria. Thus, this study concludes that there is a relationship between the type of immunization and the province of origin of children under two years old in Indonesia in 2020.

Implementation Of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Classification In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Cases
Authors: Naflah Faulina
Published: July 2024

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that provides computers with the ability to learn from data. There are three main branches of machine learning, namely supervised machine learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. One of the categories in supervised machine learning is classification. An example of a classification algorithm is Artificial neural networks are information processing systems that have characteristics and capabilities that are generally similar to human neural networks. A neural network consists of an arrangement of connections between neurons which is called architecture, a method for determining weights on connections which is called a training process or algorithm, and an activation function. This algorithm is used to classify type 2 diabetes mellitus patients as having complications and no complications by dividing training data and testing data, namely 70:30, to get the best results, namely multi layer (3 Hidden Layers with number of nodes/neurons= 5,4,3) .
Machine Learning adalah jenis kecerdasan buatan yang memberi komputer kemampuan untuk belajar dari data. Ada tiga cabang utama pembelajaran mesin, yaitu pembelajaran mesin yang diawasi, pembelajaran tanpa pengawasan, dan pembelajaran penguatan. Salah satu kategori dalam pembelajaran mesin yang diawasi adalah klasifikasi. Contoh algoritma klasifikasi adalah Jaringan syaraf tiruan merupakan sistem pengolah informasi yang mempunyai karakteristik dan kemampuan yang umumnya mirip dengan jaringan syaraf manusia. Jaringan saraf terdiri dari susunan koneksi antar neuron yang disebut arsitektur, metode penentuan bobot koneksi yang disebut proses pelatihan atau algoritma, dan fungsi aktivasi. Algoritma ini digunakan untuk mengklasifikasikan pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 memiliki komplikasi dan tanpa komplikasi dengan membagi data latih dan data uji yaitu 70:30, untuk mendapatkan hasil terbaik yaitu multi layer (3 Hidden Layer dengan jumlah node/neuron= 5,4,3).
The Impact of Audit Committees and Chief Executive Officer Characteristics on Real Earnings Management
Authors: Sanders Stanley , Nugraheni Bernadia Linggar Yekti
Published: July 2024

Earnings management is an opportunistic behavior influenced by many factors. However, previous studies have not extensively investigated the impact of audit committee mechanisms and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) characteristics on real earnings management. This study aims to analyze the impact of audit committee mechanisms and CEO characteristics on real earnings management. The study utilizes secondary data from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2022. The audit committee mechanism is proxied by using two measurements i.e. the number of audit committee meetings and the educational background of the audit committee, Meanwhile, CEO characteristics are proxied by the gender and the CEO's tenure. By applying multiple regression, this study finds that the number of audit committee meetings and CEO’s tenure have significant negative effects on real earnings management. Meanwhile, the background of the audit committee does not affect real earnings management. Interestingly, this study finds that male CEOs decrease real earnings management.  Therefore, this research provides evidence that the number of audit committee meetings and CEO’s tenure play significant roles in reducing opportunistic behavior in a company.
Cambios en las políticas sobre cuidados y familiarización del trabajo de cuidados en México de 2018 a 2023
Authors: Velasco Dominguez Maria de Lourdes
Published: July 2024

El objetivo del artículo es analizar los cambios en las políticas de cuidados y las transformaciones que promueven en la organización social del trabajo de cuidados. Para ello, se estudió la trayectoria de algunos programas dirigidos a la primera infancia, personas enfermas y personas mayores, todas ellas sin seguridad social, en México de 2018 a 2023. Tomando en cuenta los estudios acerca de los cambios en las políticas públicas, especialmente los que afectan las tareas de cuidados, se empleó una metodología mixta que implicó el análisis comparado, desde una perspectiva feminista interseccional, de los supuestos normativos de las políticas y de algunos indicadores cuantitativos de su implementación. Se argumenta que, a partir de 2019, el gobierno federal en el marco de su política de austeridad impulsó modificaciones en un conjunto de políticas relacionadas con los cuidados que en algunos casos mantuvieron o ampliaron sus objetivos, pero disminuyeron su intensidad (cobertura y presupuesto). Lo anterior puede entenderse como un proceso de desmantelamiento que promovió el traslado de la provisión y los costos de algunos cuidados que asumía el Estado a los hogares de la población sin seguridad social.
PERTENTANGAN MISI KENABIAN DAN HUKUM PERNIKAHAN BEDA AGAMA DI INDONESIA
Authors: Sugitanata Arif
Published: July 2024

The contradictions in the prophetic era over the noble mission also apply to marriage laws, especially the rules for interfaith marriages. The issue has been a long and unavoidable debate. This study seeks to answer the rejection factors and relevance of the contradiction between the prophetic mission and the law of interfaith marriage in Indonesia. Using a literature review methodology, which includes collecting relevant literature, mainly works still related to the research subject, then processed descriptively-analytically. The research suggests a correlation between the factors contributing to society's rejection of the prophetic treatise and the factors influencing Indonesian society's rejection of the interfaith marriage law. The significance lies in the mutual refusal shown by both parties, as they reject the benefits of the situation. Muslims and Indonesians alike have shown resistance to accepting the proposed benefits. On the other hand, it is also essential to recognize that a significant factor contributing to the rejection is a lack of understanding. Every individual must understand that the ideas brought by the prophets encompass genuine truths that require acceptance to safeguard earthly and afterlife existence, as well as the salvation of all humanity. Likewise, individuals in Indonesia need to understand the importance of the regulations about interfaith marriage.
