Ratna style temple architecture flourished in the Bengal Delta from the mid-17th century to the 19th century. Although there is a clear distinction between the Ratna style temples and the ancient Bengal temples built in the North Indian Nagara and South Indian Dravidian styles, a careful analysis of the architectural structure of the Ratna temples reveals influences from both North and South Indian temple architecture. The incorporation of Indo-Islamic architectural features into Ratna temples, as seen in other contemporary structures like mosques, palaces, and forts, has given this style its uniqueness. This style of temple construction is not found elsewhere in the Indian subcontinent, except in the Bengal region. Among the various Ratna styles, the Pancharatna temple architecture is the most prevalent. The aim of this study is to review the origin and development of the Ratna style temple in Bengal and to provide a brief insight into the amalgamation of various architectural styles in the Pancharatna temples across Bengal by examining the architectural features of the Aranyapur Pancharatna temple in Cumilla. Through field surveys and photographic data analysis, the researcher has identified the architectural characteristics of the Ratna style, including Indo-Islamic and European influences, as well as the indigenous Chala style of Bengal. Additionally, other features of the aforementioned temple, such as its octagonal shape, sanctum sanctorum, arched circumambulatory path, three entrances on three sides, and the curved cornice of the central Ratna, have been compared with those of other Pancharatna temples in Bengal.

Abstract
The global agreement at the UN COP-26 meeting urges all countries to gradually phase out the use of raw coal. Therefore, coal downstreaming is necessary. The coal product industry (KBLI 19100) in Indonesia will have a growing significance in the times ahead. However, currently, the concentration of the coal product industry is still high due to the limited number of companies in this sector. This study aims to analyze the impact of industry concentration and input costs on efficiency in the coal product industry (KBLI 19100) in Indonesia. The data used are secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) from 2010-2021, using a regression model to test the influence of independent variables on industrial efficiency. The results of this study indicate that industry concentration and input costs have a significant negative effect on efficiency. This means that if industry concentration and input costs increase, efficiency will decrease.

Regspraak: Reflecting on a judgment – an outlier, or just a standard eviction case?

Die uitspraak in Trustees for the Time Being of the PG W Family Trust v N W (87/2023) 2024 ZAWCHC 57 (31 Jan 2024) vorm die fokus van hierdie vonnisbespreking. Hier is ’n beroep op die hof gedoen om te besluit of dit regverdig en billik is om ’n bejaarde vrou en haar seun, wat albei verskeie gesondheids- en sielkundige uitdagings gehad het, uit te sit vanuit eiendom waarvan die eerste tot derde applikante mede-eienaars is. Die hof het bevind dat dit wel regverdig en billik sou wees om die respondente uit te sit, maar het die bevel onderhewig aan verskeie voorwaardes gemaak. Hierdie saak toon dat nieteenstaande die feit dat die nuwe uitsettingsbedeling merkwaardig meer sensitief is vir marginaliteit, swakheid en kwesbaarheid, uitsetting van onregmatige okkupeerders beslis moontlik is, ongeag of die onregmatige okkupeerders in ’n paar kategorieë van kwesbaarheid val in terme van faktore wat in die Wet op die Voorkoming van Onwettige Uitsetting en Onregmatige Besetting van Grond 19 van 1998 gelys word. Hierdie bydrae daag ons uit om na te dink of ’n saak soos die PG W-saak die pendulum weggeskuif het van (of na) eksklusiewe fokus op die gemeenregtelike reg om uit te sluit (gebaseer op die grondeienaar se sterker reg tot besit), wat die fokus van uitsettingsregspraak in die voor-grondwetlike era was. In die konteks van geskikte alternatiewe behuising toon die PG W-saak aan dat ’n hof dit vir die plaaslike owerheid los om te bepaal watter behuising geskik is. Die hof sal egter in sy bevel probeer om die verwoestende gevolge van uitsetting en hervestiging te versag deur soms selfs positiewe verpligtinge op grondeienaars te plaas om die hervestiging draagliker te maak. Oor die algemeen het die vonnisbespreking gepoog om gedagtes te gee oor die druk-trek-elemente van die balansering van die diskresie om ’n uitsetting toe te staan al dan nie. En hoewel ’n mens nie kan voorspel hoe ’n ander uitsettingsaak in die toekoms beslis sal word nie, gegewe die uniekheid van die feite en omstandighede in ’n bepaalde geval, kan ’n mens beslis begin om sleutelaanwysers aan te toon van ’n tendens in uitsettingsgevalle. Daar word gehoop dat hierdie vonnisbespreking sal bydra tot die bespreking van hoe so ’n tendens moontlik lyk – en wat die slaggate daarvan kan wees.
Error 404 or an error in judgment? An ethical framework for the use of ChatGPT in the legal profession.
Authors: Van Eck M
Published: August 2024

Daar is geen kortpaaie om reg te praktiseer nie, maar dit is nie ongewoon dat regspraktisyns bystand of raad vir hul werk soek nie. Dit kan gedoen word deur kollegas asook tradisionele regsdatabasisse te nader. Onlangs het die gebruik van kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologie egter waargenome “kortpaaie” vir regsnavorsing verskaf. Die gebruik van tegnologieë, soos ChatGPT, vir regsnavorsing is ’n nuwe kwessie wat in verskeie hofsake in Suid-Afrika, die Verenigde State, die Verenigde Koninkryk asook Kanada afgespeel het. In hierdie artikel word die gerapporteerde gevalle van die gebruik van ChatGPT in hierdie jurisdiksies ondersoek om die etiese en professionele slaggate in regspraktisyns se gebruik van ChatGPT vir regsnavorsing te bepaal. Hier word die risiko’s van die gebruik van ChatGPT vir regsnavorsing uitgelig; spesifiek die gebruik van vals of vervaardigde informasie en regsake, wat grootliks voortspruit uit ChatGPT se tegniese tekortkominge. Tog is daar voorbeelde waar regspraktisyns ChatGPT gebruik het sonder om die resultate te verifieer, wat daartoe gelei het dat regspraktisyns in verskeie gevalle aanspreeklik gehou is vir sulke gedrag. Teen hierdie agtergrond bied die artikel ’n etiese en professionele raamwerk vir die gebruik van kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologieë in die regspraktyk, wat opgesom kan word as: (i) daar is niks verkeerd om kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologie te gebruik in ’n regspraktyk nie, maar alhoewel die gebruik van kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologie aanvaarbaar is, kan die blinde aanvaarding van sulke inligting etiese en professionele uitdagings skep, (ii) ’n regspraktisyn moet bewus wees of kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologie gebruik word in die voorbereiding van hof- of ander dokumente, (iii) daar is geen plek vir sorgeloosheid in die gebruik van kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologieë nie, aangesien sulke sorgeloosheid kan lei tot die misleiding van die hof en medepraktisyns, (iv) waar kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologie gebruik is om hof- of ander dokumente voor te berei, moet ’n regspraktisyn verseker dat toepaslike stappe geneem word om die akkuraatheid van die inligting van kunsmatige intelligensie stelsels te verifieer, en (v) ’n regspraktisyn het algemene verantwoordelikheid oor die toesig van alle regsdienste wat gelewer word, ongeag of hulp van ander mense of kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologie ontvang word. Onkunde van ’n regspraktisyn se etiese en professionele pligte in hierdie omstandighede is geen verskoning nie, veral in verband met die vermoëns en beperkings van kunsmatige intelligensie tegnologie. Nietemin, regspraktisyns kan nie verwyder word van die regspraktyk nie en dit is die regspraktisyn se verantwoordelikheid om die inligting te verifieer, ongeag die bron van die inligting. Indien hierdie etiese en professionele pligte nie nagekom word nie, kan regspraktisyns onderworpe wees aan sanksies en dissiplinêre stappe.
Regspraak: Struikel en val op ongelyke loopvlakke – ’n tydige waarskuwing om katvoet te loop op plaveistene
Authors: Scott J
Published: August 2024

Our case law is rife with judgments dealing with delictual claims instituted by those who had suffered harm due to a fall on a slippery or an uneven surface. Most of these cases dealt with the question whether the owner or occupier of the area in which the plaintiff sustained injury had failed to take precautions to protect those, who walked over the floors, or along the walkways or roads over which such owner or occupier had control, against potential harm due to a potential danger lurking in the walking surface, such as spilt liquid on a supermarket floor or a hole in a sidewalk. Proving the elements of wrongfulness and negligence have usually been the focal point of a plaintiff’s claim in these cases. Regarding the wrongfulness element, the problematic area of liability for an omission unwaveringly raises its head. Of primary significance in this regard is one of the factors usually considered in establishing whether an omission which does not usually attract liability is in fact actionable, viz control over a dangerous object. In the case under discussion the plaintiff was injured when she tripped and fell on an uneven paved walkway on her way from a parking area at a shopping centre to a shop (Food Lover’s Market (FLM)). She claimed damages from FLM as well as from a trust, the lessee of the shopping mall premises. The court dealt in some detail with the question of the wrongfulness of an omission, concluding that FLM owed the plaintiff no legal duty to keep premises on the outside of its shop in a safe condition. Further regarding the possible liability due to a breach of a legal duty by FLM and the trust, it was found that although the evidence had shown that portions of the paving of walkways in and around the shopping centre were uneven, this did not constitute an unusual dangerous situation to pedestrians and, furthermore, that it cannot be expected that those in control of such walkways should keep them in a permanent pristine condition. The court therefore found no wrongful omissions on the part of the defendants. It also found no negligence on their part. In the course of its treatment of the element of wrongfulness and even (unnecessarily) negligence, the court unfortunately failed in several respects to render a jurisprudentially sound clarification of the nature and application of the relevant principles. In the final analysis the plaintiff failed because she could not adduce sufficient evidence to convince the court to find that the defendants had breached any legal duty owed to her. Had the claim against FLM been allowed, it would have amounted to a significant extension of the duties of property owners and occupiers, leading to unnecessary uncertainty and the possibility of indeterminate liability.

Electronically Controlled Broadband Terahertz Amplitude Modulator Based on Ionic Liquid/PEDOT:PSS:DMSO Composite Structure
Authors: Liu Yangqi , Zhang Bo , Zhang Yan
Published: August 2024

Electronically controlled modulation devices operating in the terahertz (THz) band offer a crucial foundation for the integration and minimization of THz systems. In this work, we offer a broadband THz amplitude modulator that can be electrically controlled. The modulator is based on a composite structure made of ionic liquid and polymer mixture poly (3-ethoxythiophenyl): poly (4-phenylsulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS:DMSO). By applying merely +4 V excitation and −4 V turn-off voltage, a 40% amplitude modulation depth may be produced in the frequency region of 0.1–1.5 THz due to the joint action of electrons in the polymer and ions in the ionic liquid. The measurement of the resistance change of the polymer surface provides an explanation and confirmation of the mechanism of polymer action in this occurrence. This work provides a material selection for a simple preparation, inexpensive, and effective modulation of THz amplitude for an ionic liquid gate electronically controlled THz modulator. It is also expected that this work can be helpful for the miniaturization and integration development of THz modulators.

Relationship between Digital Learning, Digital Literacy and Academic Performance of Higher Education Students: Moderated Mediation Role of Critical Thinking
Authors: T Ravikumar , G Raghunandan , D John Benedict , Seshadri Vinita , N Abhinandan
Published: August 2024

In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, digital technologies have become increasingly prevalent, transforming how students access and engage with information. This study explores the relationships among digital learning, digital literacy, and academic performance in higher education, focusing on the moderating and mediating role of critical thinking. The adoption of digital learning platforms, such as online courses and virtual classrooms, has expanded educational access and flexibility. However, concerns regarding their effectiveness persist. Digital literacy, encompassing the ability to navigate digital tools and critically evaluate information, is crucial in this context. This research investigates how students' digital literacy levels influence their academic achievement and examines the mediating role of critical thinking in this relationship. Critical thinking is hypothesized to mediate the effects of digital literacy on academic performance and the impact of digital learning on critical thinking skills. Additionally, the study assesses whether critical thinking moderates the prime relationship between digital learning and academic performance. This descriptive, cross-sectional study employs structured questionnaires to gather primary data from 384 students enrolled in undergraduate, postgraduate, professional, and research programs at private universities in Bangalore, India. The findings indicate that the academic program significantly influences students' perceptions of digital literacy, digital learning, critical thinking, and academic performance, while demographic factors do not. Digital learning alone has a slight negative effect on academic performance, but digital literacy acts as a positive mediator, mitigating this impact. However, critical thinking does not significantly moderate the relationship between digital learning and academic performance.

Published: August 2024

This paper investigates the application of advanced soft computing techniques: northern goshawk optimization (NGO) and coati optimization algorithm (COA) for improving power quality (PQ) using active power filter (APF) in radial distribution systems (RDS). While beneficial, the growing adoption of solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems introduces power quality concerns like harmonic distortion due to their nonlinear nature. This distribution generator (DG) type is called nonlinear DG (NLDG). Harmonics is the leading cause of poor PQ. This study considers nonlinear loads (NLs) at two end nodes and nonlinear DG (NLDG) integrated into the RDS. APFs are optimally placed to reduce the harmonics and enhance PQ. The proposed approach utilizes soft computing techniques to minimize the APF current while adhering to inequality constraints. The NGO, inspired by natural processes, is employed for optimal APF sizing. This method prioritizes a balance between exploration and exploitation for efficient searching. The effectiveness of NGO is evaluated through simulations on the IEEE-69 bus RDS and compared with another recent soft computing technique, the COA. Here, four different cases are considered: a) only NL+NLDG, b) APF at bus 27, c) APF at bus 35, and d) APFs are at 27 and 35 buses. These cases are considered to analyze the effect of placement and sizing of APFs on PQ in RDS. The results validate the stability and efficacy of NGO in addressing this optimization problem for PQ improvement in RDS.

Published: August 2024

Sebanyak 54,8% wisatawan domestik berasal dari kelompok usia 15-34 tahun. Salah satu kota wisata yang diminati oleh 33% kalangan milenial muda yang berusia 15-28 tahun adalah Kota Bandung. Bandung yang dikenal sebagai Paris van Java yang menjadi pusat mode memberikan magnet tersendiri bagi generasi milenial. Selain menjadi pusat mode, Bandung juga memiliki banyak nilai sejarah yang menarik untuk diulas. Untuk mengetahui pemahaman generasi milenial terhadap wisata sejarah yang ada di Indonesia, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif melalui wawancara terstruktur dengan menggunakan pertanyaan terbuka. Hal ini dimaksudkan agar responden lebih bebas mengungkapkan pengetahuan, pengalaman dan pemikiran mereka terhadap wisata sejarah yang ada di Kota Bandung. Sebesar 87,5% generasi milenial menyatakan bahwa wisata heritage di Kota Bandung merupakan wisata yang menarik. Sebesar 93,8% kalangan milenial memahami arti penting dari wisata heritage. Mereka tertarik untuk menjelajahi cerita di balik monumen, bangunan, dan situs yang mereka kunjungi, dan ingin terlibat dengan komunitas lokal untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang hal tersebut.Hambatan pemasaran wisata heirtage adalah: (1) Kurangnya edukasi public (2) Atraksi seni dan budaya yang membosankan (3) Kurangnya tempat (spot) swafoto di lokasi wisata heritage (4) Komunikasi pemasaran yang tidak sesuai. Jika factor-faktor tersebut dapat diatasi dan disesuaikan dengan karakteristik kalangan milenial, maka wisata heritage dapat menjadi pasar yang sangat potensial memutar perekonomian.

This study aims to determine how the Effectiveness of Daily Monitoring and Evaluation Management (DIANA) in Improving the Performance of Employees of the Airport Learning Center Division of PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero). The method used is a qualitative method with data collection through interviews, observations and documentation studies. The results of the research on the accuracy of the program target are employees of PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero), but there are still employees who do not fill in the official task list / tasklist and also there are still system problems that cause illegibility of tasklist submissions to superiors so that attendance and daily performance achievements of employees are constrained. Program socialization has been carried out thoroughly even though it is online due to the pandemic situation. The purpose of the program is appropriate because it is considered capable of helping employees in doing work and becoming more measurable. Program monitoring has not been effective because program monitoring is only carried out at the beginning of the program, and there are no strict sanctions for employee indiscipline in filling out the tasklist.

Teori budaya pada dasarnya memberikan beberapa pedoman normatif yang menekankan pentingnya proses di mana keputusan mengenai risiko dibuat, atas masalah substantif kuantifikasi risiko. Teori budaya menunjukkan bahwa pandangan individu tertentu tentang hal-hal dibentuk oleh sifat kelompok sosial di mana mereka menjadi bagiannya yaitu, berbagai organisasi, pengaruh kelompok sebaya ataupun sumber otoritas lainnya, serta oleh sejauh apa individu merasa terikat pada kelompok sosial yang lebih besar. Masalah risiko digunakan secara forensik di dalam sebuah perdebatan yang sedang berlangsung mengenai legitimasi suatu hubungan kekuasaan di dalam kelompok masyarakat, oleh sebab itu, kekhawatiran mengenai risiko yang berasal dari industri terhadap kekhawatiran tentang penggunaan sebuah teknologi yang diterapkan. Risiko sebagai suatu keselamatan yang menjadi perhatian utama bagi manajemen risiko kesehatan serta obatobatan. Pengetahuan tersebut diterapkan untuk mengurangi suatu bahaya fisik yang akan kita hadapi, para ahli teori budaya akan memiliki sedikit argumen dengan manfaat nyata yang telah dibawanya kepada suatu lingkup masyarakat. Dalam artikel ini mengkaji akar teoritis teori budaya, menelusuri bagiannya dalam literatur risiko, dan mengeksplorasi nilainya dalam masalah manajemen risiko saat ini.

Dating violence is a phenomenon that is rife in society. Basically, or dating violence is a problem that continues to get an increase in every case, especially in women's gender-based violence. This study aims to determine the motives of women to endure dating violence, patterns and forms of violent behavior experienced by women while involved in dating relationships, and the meaning of actions and also violent relationships based on the experiences of each informant. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach with symbolic interaction theory, phenomenological theory, and social construction theory. The research results were obtained through structured and semi-structured in-depth interviews with five female informants who experienced this phenomenon. The results of the study show that women's motives for surviving violence in their relationship can be seen from two different motives, namely past motives due to affection and an imbalance of positions in relationships that make women powerless. On the other hand, the past motive that underlies women to survive is because they feel their partners are very good outside of the violence. Meanwhile, when viewed from the future motive, it is because the woman still believes that her partner can change for the better for herself and also for the relationship. Regarding the experience of communication in the form of violence experienced by the informants, there was verbal and physical violence. Patterns of violence can occur because of various conflicts, such as the woman's feeling that she has violated the rules of her partner, feelings of jealousy, her partner's prejudice, and her partner's stubbornness about what he thinks is right, which makes the partner emotional and ends up committing violence. Of course regret and false promises are mentioned by the partner which makes the woman accept and forgive her behavior again. Meanwhile, from the length of their relationship, the women interpret or view the phenomenon of dating violence as an act that is wrong. So they interpret the relationship as not to be fought for and feel that an abusive relationship can cause trauma. On the other hand, there are also other opinions that being involved in a violent relationship gives insight on how to deal with someone with unstable emotions, so that it can be used as a learning relationship in the future.
