Authors: Purwanda Sunardi , Subhandi Bakhtiar Handar , Miqat Nurul , Nur Rafika , Patila Manga
Published: July 2023

Complexity and challenges in uncovering crimes by the police have brought the law enforcement process to purely formal matters. Since the Indonesian police agency separated from the armed forces, their formal and professional attitude has faced many realities on the ground: choosing formal precedence (legal procedures) and ignoring the interests of victims. Legal procedures are more focused on formal justice in accordance with existing, written rules of the game and cannot provide freedom of action. The police are only the spokesperson for written laws and regulations. The idea of ​​being part of people's lives is collided with formal procedures. This condition requires the police to ignore substantial justice, whose importance is more important than mere procedural matters. Law enforcement that is only based on procedures without being balanced with efforts to achieve the goals of law enforcement actually has the potential to damage the order of human rights values. The type of research used is normative legal research using a legal approach, a historical approach, and a philosophical approach. Law enforcement by the police which tends to discriminate against the rights of victims has an impact on the low level of public trust in the police institution which ultimately makes many victims reluctant to report to the police.

Responsibility of The Parties in Electronic Transactions
Authors: Idy Muhammad Yunus , Rauf Abdul
Published: July 2023

Electronic transactions are legal relationships between two or more parties that give rise to rights and obligations or responsibilities. The purpose of this study is to find out how the responsibilities of the parties in electronic transactions are, using normative juridical research methods, namely discussing theories and laws and regulations related to the responsibilities of the parties in electronic transactions. The results of the study show that the responsibility of the parties in electronic transactions is not only when an error occurs that causes harm to the other party, but that responsibility exists even before the agreement is signed. Before the agreement is agreed, each party is responsible for providing correct information to the other party, especially related to the products offered. The responsibility after the agreement is to fulfill all agreed clauses. Disputes arising from an electronic transaction can be resolved in two ways, namely litigation through the courts, and settlement through alternative dispute resolution.

Authors: OMAÇ Zeki , ERDEM İrfan
Published: July 2023

In this study, robust and high-performance vector control of a rotor side converter (RSC) was performed for stability and efficient operation doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based on the variable speed wind turbine (VSWT). The mathematical model of the DFIG is simulated in the computer. Amplitude and frequency of the voltage in the DFIG were controlled for different values of load and variable speeds. In the experimental study, a DFIG-based wind turbine system was set up in the laboratory. The field position of the stator was detected from stator voltages by a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit. The rotor position was measured with an incremental encoder connected to the rotor shaft of the DFIG. The angular position of the slip was calculated by the difference between the rotor and the stator field positions. The frequency and amplitude of rotor currents were determined with the angular position of slip. To generate output voltages of converter feeding rotor windings, the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique was used. In the experimental study, the RSC was controlled with the DS1103 board. The prepared experiment set was tested at different operating speeds.

Published: July 2023

Color has always been an important component of a person's perception of the overall picture � this applies to art, religion, and individual worldviews. In different epochs and cultures, different, but always important meanings were conveyed with color, certain colors were associated with what was most significant and valuable for a people or a representative of a religious tradition. The blue color is exceptional in this sense � for a long time it was not paid attention at all, but once appearing on the canvases of Renaissance artists, it spread its influence on the culture, art, and social life of Europe. In this study, we will determine the significance of the blue color in various world cultures that preceded the Renaissance, to make sure that it reaches its culmination point at this time. We pay special attention to the great Italian painter and architect Raffaello Santi, whose works have become synonymous with beauty, harmony, grace, and perfection in art. In the colors of Raffaello, stories, feelings, relationships of characters are hidden, they contain the secret of harmony, sublimity, and uniqueness of his canvases. This work offers a look at Raffaello�s work through these paints, their colors, and shades, which, combined with the unique style and innate talent of the artist, have become the embodiment of the image of beauty that all philosophers have been talking about for many thousands of years.
CULTURAL HERITAGE AT THE CROSSROADS: THE RENAISSANCE CASTLES OF THE MURE? VALLEY, TRANSYLVANIA, ROMANIA IN THE 20TH-21ST CENTURIES
Authors: Abos Ileana Ana
Published: July 2023

The Mure? Valley is one of Romania's most culturally cohesive landscapes. Its cultural heritage intertwines with Western and Central Europe. Europe's cultural heritage includes this region's heritage. Starting in the 16th century, several noble residences were constructed in this region in magnificent geographical surroundings. Some of these were built according to designs based on Italian Renaissance architectural treatises. The most impressive style of Transylvanian Renaissance architecture is represented by these monuments. These belonged to noble and princely families, and they varied greatly in terms of size and demand. Around them, parks were constructed, and the castle contained a remarkable collection of books and artwork. After being nationalised in 1949, they underwent significant changes under communism. Some of these changes destroyed them, and others are irreparable. This work aims to illustrate the changes the magnificent Renaissance mansions of the nobility have undergone over time. These changes occurred in the 20th and 21st centuries. On the inside, there were numerous changes. In addition, the parks that border these architectural complexes have been changed or eliminated. The cultural landscape has irrevocably changed. Our research shows three main categories of Renaissance castles in the Mures Valley. A) Saved monuments, where you can see how they were preserved and incorporated into tourist routes. It may also involve returning castles to the community. B) Crumbling castles represent the opposing polarity. C) Castles undergoing restoration. According to their legal standing, castles are either privately owned, owned by the state, or owned by Catholic or Reformed churches. Preserving these monuments and the cultural landscape they generate preserves a significant part of our implicit cultural heritage and European identity.
THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE HISTORY OF ROMAN RELIGION: FROM VESTALE TO MADONNA
Authors: Tomassoni Rosella , Liburdi Stefania , Marsella Annalisa
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Within the concept of women in the archaic Roman era, the present paper will attempt a believable reconstruction of the passage of the vestal woman figure, subjected to the male �potestas� of the �pontfex maximus� in which Eros was sacrificed to the Civitas due to the blackmail of equal rights, to the recovery of the woman as an object of Christian contemplation.
Objective and Method: The aim of this article, through the analysis of recognized sources, is to study the axiom according to which the Roman woman was considered equal to the man in society (for roles, reputation, legal capacity, and public image), only playing the religious role of vestal, which denied her femininity.Throughout history, male domination was revealed in all fields, still in the religious field, until the advent of Christianity which re-evaluated the woman through the figure of the Madonna, attributing to her the role of mother of the creator.
Topic: The figure and role of women in ancient Rome did not disregard religion. In that period, the various female personalities could be identified in the figures of: matrons, prostitutes, commoners, vestals, all of which were characterized by enslavement to the particular patriarchal figure (pater, husband or pontifex). Only the vestal priestesses would seem to be excluded from the list of figures subject to male protagonists. The woman, considered tender and soft (�mollis, �mulier�, the most fragile) was completely excluded from important roles in Roman society.The juridical position of the Roman woman is obtained in the law of the XII tables (451-450 BC): "Feminas, etsi perfectae aetatis sint, in tutela esse, exceptis virginibus Vestalibus" - "The women are all to be under protection, although they are adults, except the Vestal virgins". Vestal women could juridically act like a man only if subjected to the temple of the goddess Vesta; in a psychoanalytic analysis, therefore, the counterpart was the renunciation of femininity, which was imposed by the thirty-year chastity they had to abide by. Throughout history, male domination was revealed in all fields, still in the religious field, until the advent of Christianity which re-evaluated the woman through the figure of the Madonna, attributing to her the role of mother of the creator.
Conclusion: In conclusion, with this article, we will analyse how the Roman religions (polytheistic and monotheistic) have contributed, throughout history, to subjecting women to male domination and to attributing a negative and sinful image to them, until the advent of Christianity. The psychologist feels the need to address a question: what of this primordial essence of the feminine scares the man of every age?
THERIOMORPHIC MODELS IN MYTHOLOGICAL EXEGESIS: SATYR, CENTAUR, CYCLOPS
Authors: Citeia Adriana Claudia , Popescu Monica Iuliana
Published: July 2023

From the beginning, through to Antiquity and the Middle Ages, mankind has started from a belief in the existence of a substantial soul. Belief in a spirit substance gradually receded, giving way to a spirit wholly dependent on matter and strictly material causes. The human psyche does not easily adapt to the times, and, despite humanity's breakthroughs and changing conceptions regarding life and the world, the nucleus of magical thinking has continued to exist and manifest itself incongruously relative to modern circumstances. Antiquity offers a variety of examples in representing mental illnesses (both in primary historical accounts and literary writings). Homeric texts contain multiple events and characters awash with psychopathological manifestations. This article proposes a paradigm on the exegesis of narrative myth from a double perspective: philosophical and psychological. A Greco-Roman mythological system of reference is used, centered on characters with a theriomorphic, hybrid, and/or double/mixed (human-animal) structure: satyr (Pan), centaur (Chiron, Nessus, Pholos), cyclops (Polyphemus). The concepts of dipsychism and identity dissociation are analyzed from the archetypal perspective of C.G. Jung and the philosophical and psychological perspectives of J. Radden and J.P. Dauwalder. The main claim of this thesis is an underlining of the timeliness and relevance of myth in the process of self-knowledge and of defining the complex architecture of the collective imaginary.
EROTICISM, FEMININITY AND CRAFTS, AN APPROACH TO CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS. THE ARTISTIC PRODUCTION OF PALOMA DE LA CRUZ
Authors: Perez Martinez Marta
Published: July 2023

By the analysis of Paloma de la Cruz's work, this study seeks to approach contemporary ceramics from a gender perspective, exploring its potential as a container of visual metaphors with which to establish a current artistic discourse on the body. Although it is true that, historically, the female body has occupied a predominant role in the field of artistic representation rather than in the creative sphere, in recent decades certain changes have led artists to explore new artistic and craft genres, among which we will highlight, for the purposes of this study, the ceramic discipline. Thanks to this millenary discipline, the artist brings together the worlds of art and craft in her production, opening the way to new aesthetic and symbolic connotations around the raw material, with which she will establish a discourse related to the body, identity and eroticism. Therefore, we seek to explore how Paloma de la Cruz's work establishes a discourse on identity, rejecting taboos and giving a new contemporary life to a traditional technique, by introducing a series of metaphors typical of visual poetry, with which to establish a discourse based on the taboos established around the body and female identity.

THE LIBRETTO OF CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA, POETIC RENDITION OF GIOVANNI VEGA�S STORY
Authors: Dima Gabriela E.
Published: July 2023

The libretto of Cavalleria rusticana, the well-known opera by Pietro Mascagni, was written by Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti and Guido Menasci, who reduced to melodrama a play by Giovanni Verga, in its turn a dramatization of a short-story with the same title he had previously written. Our investigation focuses on the libretto as a literary text to be analysed in comparison with its prose sources. We propose an in-depth analysis of the similarities and differences between the libretto and the play, in an attempt to understand the reasons for the changes operated by the two librettists. The necessities of the melodramatic genre and their non-Sicilian origin lead to a diverse comprehension and interpretation of Verga�s ideas, freely transposed into the libretto. The achievements of the two librettists are not to be ignored, especially if taking into account they were the first in Italy to propose an unconventional subject inspired from the real life of the petty people. Despite the criticism against some of their solutions, we could notice that their choices concerning the literary style, the language, the construction of the characters led to a new perspective and convey a more universal meaning that has assured the success of the opera in time.

Published: July 2023

The conceptual basis of the article includes descriptions, characteristics and relationships between all aspects of reflection. The aim of the work is to present the evolution, structure and learning of language since the evolution of the human species, already of a genetic order, then became cultural, therefore teachable. Culture, through the changes offered by education to intentional learning, is the engine of man's changes and evolution. From language as a biological moment of adaptation we have moved on to an intentional and specific form of language, the structure of which is to be placed in relation to language learning and behaviour. The relationship between language and its physiological bases has been indicated with the support of psycholinguistics: mental, linguistic processes, human cognitive abilities, involved in the conception, elaboration, description and definition of narratives. The investigation of language learning has been referred to classical theories such as the magic number 7 theory (Miller), the universal language theory (Chomsky) and the cognitivist theory (Piaget). The results of the study led to hypothesize and formulate a new teaching/learning model for languages in suitable laboratories and inserted in educational environments. The laboratory is stimulating and is the one generated as CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), to respond to the connotation of multiculturalism and plurilingualism.
DISTINCTNESS OF STRATA LEASE SCHEME IN MALAYSIA’S STRATIFIED BUILDING DEVELOPMENT: A REVIEW
Authors: Zainal Nur Huzaifah , Samsudin Salfarina , Md. Azmi Fatin Afiqah
Published: July 2023

Strata title is a document of ownership for a unit parcel in a stratified building such as a condominium or apartment. The idea of introducing land lease term registration onto strata title has allowed the creation of a newer type of strata scheme called the strata lease scheme. However problem arises when there is no specific law gazetted for the strata lease scheme, which has caused some confusion among scholars with different opinions on which laws apply to this concept. This is because the features of a strata lease scheme can be easily confused with a strata scheme. Therefore, this paper, referring to Malaysian laws, will review the application of the strata lease scheme concept within these legislation statues. It is found that a strata lease scheme is created under the purview of the National Land Code [Act 828]. Although, it does not have specific laws catering for the need for a strata lease scheme; instead, it is governed by several legislations to meet the requirement of its development intention. The distinctness features of a strata lease scheme can be found through specific laws which is discussed further in the paper. To conclude, Malaysian laws are sufficient to oversee the development of a strata lease scheme. However, minor amendments to the legislation may enhance the distinctness of strata lease scheme features in Malaysia.

Published: July 2023

The proliferation of "lot lidi" drew the attention of the community and state authority. Despite the fact that the phrase "lot lidi" is not specified in any of the land legislation, the community has nonetheless accepted it. This paper explores the notion of "lot lidi", which may be understood via a number of unique criteria, including land that belongs to the agricultural category, located in an area with a high environmental sensitivity, and has been illegally divided into small lots for residential use with the intention of selling them through a trust deed. The National Land Code's perspective on the idea of "lot lidi" will be the main topic of this study. A qualitative approach is employed as a research methodology, and data is obtained through library research. The conclusions of this study centre on the conflict of "lot lidi" development that is connected to the National Land Code, namely the failure to register the buyer's name, breach of conditions of the land, and abuse of the trust concept. This study is important in formulating a comprehensive solution to address the issue of "lot lidi" that cannot be left unattended and abandoned.

Published: July 2023

Access to health facilities for refugees in Sabah is not a new thing. It has been debated since the 1970s when the group first arrived in Sabah. After more than 50 years, refugees in Sabah are still faced with limited access to health facilities. Although Malaysia has not ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol, there is no denying that health facilities are important for the survival of refugees in Sabah. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify the current practice of health services for the refugee group and debate it from the perspective of Maqasid Syariah whether it is in line with the policy of caring for the religion, life, intellect, lineage/dignity and property of the group. This qualitative study was conducted using the literature method by applying the content analysis approach. The results of the study found that the current health services for refugees in Sabah have not been able to cover the 5 main human needs (daruri) in a balanced manner according to the framework of Maqasid Syariah. This study is expected to be one of the guidelines in the construction of a balanced health service policy for the refugee group in accordance with the principles of Maqasid Syariah which safeguards the rights of essential human needs (daruri) namely religion, life, intellect, lineage/dignity and property in achieving benefits and preventing life harm.

Effective dakwah communication includes verbal and non-verbal communication. A Muslim communicator or a da’include should take into account various dakwah dissemination in this case is the use of non-verbal communicative factors when conveying the message of Islam to ensure effective dakwah communication. According to scholars, the mastery and skills of non-verbal communication by the da’include such as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, postures, language skills, use of objects and movement of the body language can help in the delivery of a dakwah message more optimally and effectively. In the 21st century, among successful da’include in the field of dakwah is Badiuzzaman Said Nursi. Among the factors of the public’s acceptance of Said Nursi’s preaching is his mastery in the knowledge of rhetoric (persuasion) as well as the knowledge of non-verbal communication, until it spread throughout the world. Thus, this study focuses on the effective dakwah communication of Badiuzzaman Said Nursi specifically in four non-verbal communicative elements, namely kinesic, chronomics, paralinguistics and artifactual. This method of study applied document studies for data collection by applying a content analysis approach to the data analysis process. The results showed that Said Nursi's effective dakwah communication includes at least 4 non-verbal communication coverage, as mentioned above. The findings also found that the experience of Badiuzzaman Said Nursi’s preaching through various communication methods, specifically the 4 elements of non-verbal communication, helped to establish his name as a contemporary figure of dakwah and islah, thus being given the name ‘badiuzzaman’ which means the excellence of time.

Published: July 2023

The society of Malaya has a diverse and multiracial population, which originates from the British colonial era. In the pluralistic context of Malaysian society, racial issues can be said to be sensitive and important. Pluralism shows diversity based on each racial identity. Diversity refers to the differences that exist in a society. This difference is a challenge to the construction of national identity and national unity because in the effort to create a nation state is not something easy. The focus of the study focuses on the analysis between two incidents of racial conflict that occurred after the Japanese occupation in 1945 and the event of May 13, 1969. This analysis will look in terms of analysing the similarities and differences between the two incidents of racial conflict. Is it true that there are differences or similarities between the two incidents of racial conflict in Malaya? The results of the study found that the two incidents of racial conflict were a planned incident and did not happen spontaneously. It is also motivated by the existence of elements of oppression or very heavy oppression. In terms of communist involvement, it was seen to be more comprehensive during the incident after the Japanese occupation in 1945 compared to the event of May 13, 1969. The racial conflict in 1945 was not entirely racial in nature but more about their goal in expanding communist influence in Malaya. In contrast to the events of May 13, 1969, the racial riots occurred as a result of political competition at that time which was unhealthy and did not care about pluralism.

THIRD GENDER IN MALAYSIA: AN INSIGHT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAM
Authors: Muhamad Sharifuddin Nurhidayah , Ramli Mohd Anuar
Published: July 2023

The post-globalization era, which is increasingly challenging the intellect and minds of the present time, is causing people to dare to do things outside of local cultural norms and Islamic law. The situation becomes more urgent when there are attempts to open up space for recognizing the third gender in Malaysia. If this effort continues, it will provide a significant opportunity for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community, which has been advocating for their human rights to be accepted by society without discrimination in various aspects. This controversial issue has opened the eyes of many Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and local figures who have come together to restrain the recognition effort. This is because this culture clearly contradicts the nature of Islam and Islamic law and is not in line with Malaysia's position as a country that practices Islamic religious principles. Therefore, this paper will discuss the concept of the third gender from the perspective of Islam and its impact on the Islamic community in Malaysia. To achieve this objective, the researcher uses a qualitative approach with full application of the literature review method. The collected data is analyzed inductively to formulate research findings. The study found that the third-gender culture needs to be completely curbed before it spreads widely in the Islamic community because it contradicts the demands of Islamic religion and local culture. Any effort to recognize this culture needs to be firmly restrained, as it will encourage various actions prohibited by Islamic law. Various parties need to play a role and work together to resolve this issue for the benefit of the Muslim community, especially in this country.

The phenomenon of stereotype affects the interaction between various ethnic groups and is threatening unity in Malaysia. The term stereotype refers to a statement that is too general towards an ethnic group, whether negative or otherwise. Stereotyped beliefs about other ethnicities be able to cause various problems of interactions in life, especially in the situation of a diverse society, not to mention that this country has faced the bloody tragedy of May 13, 1969. In light of the importance of this concept of stereotypes, a study was carried out to identify the understanding as well as stereotypical beliefs by members of a multi-ethnic community towards other ethnicities. The quantitative approach was used with the application of a sampling technique called purposive sampling method. A total of 300 respondents who are among the multi-ethnic community living in Seksyen 2, Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur were chosen. Research findings based on three constructs namely: 1) simple detail construct, 2) construct considering all ethnic members to be the same, and 3) negative general statement construct have found that majority of respondents has their stereotypical understanding of other ethnicities (80%). Based on the finding, the study suggests that a further studies become relevance by diversifying the respondents according to their age, gender and social class so that the concept of stereotyping can be examined comprehensively.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o Programa Nacional de Educação na Reforma Agrária (PRONERA) como política pública de Educação do Campo construída com os movimentos socias camponeses e as Universidades. Em seguida traz a experiência de um programa realizado na Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú, em Sobral/Ceará, que se deu através de um Curso de Segunda nas Áreas de Ciências Humanas e Sociais: (Licenciatura em Geografia; Licenciatura em História); com o objetivo de habilitar professores e professoras e outros profissionais da educação com formação inicial em pedagogia ou em outra licenciatura que estivessem morando em áreas de Assentamentos de Reforma Agrária. Esta experiência nos levou a concluir que a Educação do Campo não é um ato isolado, mas coletivo e seu impacto social teve um grande alcance, não somente para os agricultores e agricultoras que fizeram os cursos, mas para os(as) jovens que moram nas áreas de Assentamento de Reforma Agrária pois, terão outras possibilidades de participar da criação de condições para permanência no campo com uma vida digna.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre o processo de iniciação à leitura musical no piano e discutir experiências desse tipo realizadas em um projeto de extensão universitária. Neste relato de experiência são descritas estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem que buscam fomentar a aquisição da habilidade de ler música de forma autônoma e expressiva, em oposição ao mero ato de tocar as notas que se encontram na partitura. Para tanto, realizamos um levantamento bibliográfico que apontou a necessidade de se compreender a alfabetização musical como a capacidade de identificar, entender e, principalmente, interpretar o material impresso, dando-lhe significado. O trabalho de iniciação à leitura que realizamos em um projeto de extensão é exposto neste artigo em conjunto com o modo como abordamos três publicações destinadas à iniciação ao piano e que foram adotadas como material didático pelo projeto. Como resultados, temos observado em nossos estudantes o desenvolvimento da compreensão e do domínio expressivo dos elementos simbólicos contidos na notação musical. Tais qualidades possibilitam o posterior desenvolvimento do repertório mais avançado que acompanhará os anos seguintes de formação do jovem pianista
Educação musical e infância: apontamentos para a docência pautada em princípios artísticos
Authors: Malaquias Alves Fabrício
Published: July 2023

Este estudo é parte da pesquisa de doutorado em Música, em andamento, intitulada Música para e com as crianças: Confluência das Artes e Educação Infantil, que busca realizar uma leitura artística da aula de música para crianças, concebendo-a como acontecimento artístico – ação criativa/reflexiva. Propõe-se, na pesquisa, enfatizar iniciativas que apresentem: espaço para a criação e reflexão – características consideradas artísticas; abertura para o diálogo entre as linguagens artísticas – confluência das artes; a atuação de professores – como mediadores da experiência musical na infância; e outras formas de expressão para além da linguagem verbal e da escrita, como o visual e o teatral, além da musicalidade. Procura-se, assim, pensar alternativas para a excessiva valorização do conhecimento técnico-racional predominante na escola e na sociedade, com seus reflexos no ensino de música.

Bereavement has an impact on reducing a person's psychological capacity and also physical and various roles in life that are lived as a result of the death of a loved one. This study aimed to determine the effect of social support of the congregation and religiosity on bereavement. Respondents were 121 people aged 15 to 85 years, with an average high school education level and had experienced bereavement during the last 18 months. The research data were collected with the Bereavement Experience Questionnaire (BEQ-24), Social support, and The Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS-15), with a purposive sampling technique and processed in multiple linear regression using SPSS v.25 application. The coefficient of each scale is 0.91, 0.86, 0.75. From the results of regression-Model 3, it was found that social support provided by the congregation did not have a significant effect on bereavement. While religiosity as an internal resource in bereaves has a significant positive effect on bereavement. The age factor and education level of respondents in this study also contributed to the effect on bereavement.

Strong arm comparator has some characteristics like it devours zero static power and yields rail to rail swing. It acquires a positive feedback allowed by two cross coupled pairs of comparators and results a low offset voltage in input differential stage. We modified a strong arm Comparator for high speed without relying on complex calibration Schemes. a 5-bit 600MS/s asynchronous digital slope analog to digital converter (ADS-ADC) with modified strong arm comparator designed in cadence virtuoso at 180nm CMOS technology. The design of SR-Latch using Pseudo NMOS NOR Gate optimizes the speed. Thus delay reduced in select signal generation block. Power dissipation is minimized with lesser transistor count in Strong arm comparator and SR-Latch with maximum sampling speed. The speed of the converter can be improved by resolution. The proposed circuit is 5-bit ADC containing a delay cell, Sample and hold, continuous time comparator, strong arm comparator, Pseudo NMOS SR-Latch and Multiplexer. This 5-bit ADC operates voltage at 1.8 volts and consumes an average power.
