Kegiatan menghafal al-Qur’an merupakan sebuah kegiatan mulia, banyak sekali manfaat yang didapatkan oleh para penghafal al-Qur’an. Allah SWT juga menjamin untuk memudahkan siapapun yang ingin menghafal al-Qur’an, Allah berfirman dalam Surat Al- Qamar ayat 17 yang artinya “Dan sungguh, telah Kami mudahkan Al-Qur'an untuk peringatan, maka adakah orang yang mau mengambil pelajaran?”. Menghafal al-Qur’an memiliki banyak metode, namun yang sering digunakan biasanya berupa metode talqin dan talaqqi1 atau metode dimana peserta didik mengikuti bacaan pendidik dan menghafal dengan cara mengulang-ngulang bacaannya. Cara-cara seperti ini banyak digunakan dalam kegiatan belajar dan mengajar di TPA atau Tempat Pembelajaran Al-Qur’an seperti halnya di TPA Al Awabin Raden Inten. TPA yang sudah beroperasi sejak tahun 2018 ini dalam kurun waktu terakhir sedang bertransformasi ke dalam bentuk TPA Tahfizh atau TPA yang fokus dalam mencetak peserta didik yang memiliki hafalan juz 30  al-Qur’an dalam interval waktu tertentu. Namun transformasi tersebut tidaklah mudah, banyak sekali kendala-kendala yang dialami seperti metode tahsin dan talaqqi yang monoton, kejenuhan peserta didik, ketidakfokusan pada pembelajaran dan pengajar serta tingkah laku santri khususnya anak- anak kecil yang lebih suka bermain dan bercanda dengan temannya. Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh para guru  dan sekoah adalah rendahnya minat anak dalam membaca Al-quran. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan ini ialah metode intensif parsipatif dengan tahapan (analisis kebutuhan, rencana kerja, pelaksanaan kegiatan dan evaluasi).Luaran dari kegiatan ini adalah artikel yang diterbitkan di jurnal pengabdian, berita kegiatandimuat dalam media massa online, serta luaran tambahan buku monograf pengabdian   yang dilakukan di SD Muhammadiyah Surau Gadang Nanggalo Padang. Kata Kunci : Belajar, Al-quran,   Menyenangkan

Multi-objective optimization of permanent magnet motors using deep learning and CMA-ES
Authors: Mikami Ryosuke , Sato Hayaho , Hayashi Shogo , Igarashi Hajime
Published: August 2023

This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization method for permanent magnet motors using a fast optimization algorithm, Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES), and deep learning. Multi-objective optimization with topology optimization is effective in the design of permanent magnet motors. Although CMA-ES needs fewer population size than genetic algorithm for single objective problems, this is not evident for multi-objective problems. For this reason, the proposed method generates training data by solving the single-objective optimization multiple times using CMA-ES, and constructs a deep neural network (NN) based on the data to predict performance from motor images at high speed. The deep NN is then used for fast solution of multi-objective optimization problems. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Pharmacological Co-Activation of TrkB and TrkC Receptor Signaling Ameliorates Striatal Neuropathology and Motor Deficits in Mouse Models of Huntington’s Disease
Authors: Simmons Danielle A. , Belichenko Nadia P. , Longo Frank M.
Published: August 2023

Background: Loss of neurotrophic support in the striatum, particularly reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, contributes importantly to Huntington’s disease (HD) pathogenesis. Another neurotrophin (NT), NT-3, is reduced in the cortex of HD patients; however, its role in HD is unknown. BDNF and NT-3 bind with high affinity to the tropomyosin receptor-kinases (Trk) B and TrkC, respectively. Targeting TrkB/TrkC may be an effective HD therapeutic strategy, as multiple links exist between their signaling pathways and HD degenerative mechanisms. We developed a small molecule ligand, LM22B-10, that activates TrkB and TrkC to promote cell survival. Objective: This study aimed to determine if upregulating TrkB/TrkC signaling with LM22B-10 would alleviate the HD phenotype in R6/2 and Q140 mice. Methods: LM22B-10 was delivered by concomitant intranasal-intraperitoneal routes to R6/2 and Q140 mice and then motor performance and striatal pathology were evaluated. Results: NT-3 levels, TrkB/TrkC phosphorylation, and AKT signaling were reduced in the R6/2 striatum; LM22B-10 counteracted these deficits. LM22B-10 also reduced intranuclear huntingtin aggregates, dendritic spine loss, microglial activation, and degeneration of dopamine- and cyclic AMP-regulated phosphoprotein with a molecular weight of 32 kDa (DARPP-32) and parvalbumin-containing neurons in the R6/2 and/or Q140 striatum. Moreover, both HD mouse models showed improved motor performance after LM22B-10 treatment. Conclusions: These results reveal an NT-3/TrkC signaling deficiency in the striatum of R6/2 mice, support the idea that targeting TrkB/TrkC alleviates HD-related neurodegeneration and motor dysfunction, and suggest a novel, disease-modifying, multi-target strategy for treating HD.

Published: August 2023

Background:

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a dominant autosomal neuromuscular disorder caused by the inheritance of a CTG triplet repeat expansion in the Dystrophia Myotonica Protein Kinase ( DMPK) gene. At present, no cure currently exists for DM1 disease.

Objective:

This study investigates the effects of 12-week resistance exercise training on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in skeletal muscle in a cohort of DM1 patients ( n = 11, men) in comparison to control muscle with normal oxidative phosphorylation.

Methods:

Immunofluorescence was used to assess protein levels of key respiratory chain subunits of complex I (CI) and complex IV (CIV), and markers of mitochondrial mass and cell membrane in individual myofibres sampled from muscle biopsies. Using control’s skeletal muscle fibers population, we classified each patient’s fibers as having normal, low or high levels of CI and CIV and compared the proportions of fibers before and after exercise training. The significance of changes observed between pre- and post-exercise within patients was estimated using a permutation test.

Results:

At baseline, DM1 patients present with significantly decreased mitochondrial mass, and isolated or combined CI and CIV deficiency. After resistance exercise training, in most patients a significant increase in mitochondrial mass was observed, and all patients showed a significant increase in CI and/or CIV protein levels. Moreover, improvements in mitochondrial mass were correlated with the one-repetition maximum strength evaluation.

Conclusions:

Remarkably, 12-week resistance exercise training is sufficient to partially rescue mitochondrial dysfunction in DM1 patients, suggesting that the response to exercise is in part be due to changes in mitochondria.

Published: August 2023

In Ukraine the war has been going on for more than a year. During this time tens of thousands of civilians had killed but today the state still hasn't created a reliable system of protection for the population. Analysis of the current legal system, current standards as well as the sad experience of people who try to get protection in existing shelters in different regions in Ukraine are allowed their non-compliance with modern requirements. Protection of the main part of the population, among which the dominant part is a group with limited mobility, according to the Civil Protection Code, is provided in the simplest shelters, including basements. Based on the experience of many countries in the world in a residential environment, it is proposed to create a safe space consisting of household shelters within an apartment or floor and shelters in the underground space of houses or territories are located close to the house. Household shelters are intended to prevent the penetration of the shock wave and chipping. Household shelter in the apartment can be one of the rooms in the apartment. Shelter on the floor is intended for residents of several apartments on the same floor. This is a room with reinforced walls or a space near internal stairs. The main advantage of household shelters is to can be gotten into in a few seconds. This is very important for residents of border towns and towns are located close to the conflict line where the interval from the air raid alarm to the explosion is less than a minute. Another example of the creation of shelters is the transformation of a parking lot into shelter where the principle of capsule hotels can be applied. There are no safe cities in the country where people can be evacuated. Therefore, it is necessary in the territories controlled by Ukraine have been ensured the opportunity to live and work in a safe environment.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR FORMING A NETWORK OF FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS
Authors: Troshkin Arsenii
Published: August 2023

This article compares the characteristics of existing methods for forming a network of food establishments. By analyzing three methods - Soviet, current, and theoretical - the authors propose their own method for forming a network of food establishments in residential areas. The aim of the article is to highlight the methodology for determining the service radius for a food establishment in a residential area and to determine its advantages compared to existing methods. 

Comparative analysis and synthesis methods were used in the study. The novelty of the proposed method lies in its advantages over existing methods. The main advantage of the new method for forming a network of food establishments is the ability to accurately determine the places of food service inadequacy in a residential area by specific types of food establishments, allowing for optimal placement. 

The scientific results indicate the advantages of implementing the new network of food establishments in residential areas, such as the influence of architects and residents on the choice of location, type and format of food establishments, and the alignment of interests between owners' profitability and accessibility for residents to different types of food establishments. 

However, the implementation of the proposed method for forming a network of food establishments may require more time due to the large number of existing types and formats of food establishments, which can be considered a disadvantage. Nevertheless, the resulting network should provide greater efficiency compared to its predecessors. 

The research findings can be used in the planning of residential areas, particularly for determining the need to include new food establishments in residential areas and ensuring adequate levels of service for the population.

Published: August 2023

UD Esbas Toys, located in Pandaan, is one of the doll manufacturers that has successfully gone through critical challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic. This success can be seen from the relatively stable work productivity of employees to date as a result of the implementation of proper HR management. The main objective of this research is to confirm the strong influence of work stress and communication on employee productivity. A total of 35 employees of UD Sebas Toys Pandaan have been selected as the saturated sample technique. Respondents' perceptions were collected using a questionnaire where each statement in the questionnaire was given a 5-point Likert scale to form quantitative data which was finally analyzed using PLS. The results of the study revealed that work stress has a positive effect on productivity, although not too strong. While the positive effect of communication on productivity proved significant. So, it is important for every employee to control stress so that it continues to have a positive impact on productivity and optimize positive communication. The limitation of this research is the number of respondents which is only 35 people, the results of the research may be different if employees in other branches are considered. In addition, the analysis process has not included the demographics of the respondents as a control variable in the model. However, the results of the research contribute to the development of HRM science in relation to increasing employee productivity in small-medium scale manufacturing companies through controlling employee work stress and effective communication.

The results of studies of oxidized road bitumen according to GOST 33133 and GOST R 58400.1 obtained from tars of JSC "Syzran Refinery" of different viscosities of 100, 150 and 200 seconds under conditions of deepening oil refining achieved at the enterprise for the period 2019-2022 are presented. It is shown that the production of road bitumen with the required level of properties under conditions of weighting of petroleum raw materials is possible with the implementation of measures that help compensate for the shortage of paraffin-naphthenic and aromatic compounds, however, the quality reserve of the resulting binders decreases. It has been established that the involvement of light oils of the Orenburg deposits type and, especially, gas condensates in the processing of West Siberian fields into oil at AVT leads to a deterioration in the low-temperature properties of both standard oxidized road bitumen produced according to GOST 33133 (tensility at 0 оC, brittleness temperature) and new bitumen materials according to GOST R 58400.1-2019.

Published: August 2023

У статті проаналізовано особливості функціонування фінансової системи України в умовах воєнного стану та повоєнного періоду. Зазначено, що її зміст та сутність, як і правове регулювання фінансових відносин, за таких умов істотно змінюються. З’ясовано перелік викликів та загроз, які впливають на стан фінансової системи в умовах воєнного стану та у повоєнний період. Проаналізовано документи та статистичні матеріали Міністерства фінансів України, Міжнародного валютного фонду, Світового банку про окремі виклики та загрози і їх вплив на фінансову систему України. Окремо розглянуто звіти Національної ради з відновлення України від наслідків війни та Національного банку України, які стосуються аналізованих питань. Шляхом аналізу зазначених документів з’ясовано негативний вплив на фінансову систему нанесених збитків та завданої матеріальної шкоди Україні. Акцентовано увагу на таких викликах та загрозах фінансовій системі, як зростання державних витрат, зменшення надходжень до державного бюджету України та зростання його дефіциту. Зроблено висновок про необхідність збалансування доходів і видатків державного бюджету України у воєнний та повоєнний періоди. Водночас наголошено на важливості визначення на державному рівні нових внутрішніх та зовнішніх джерел фінансування заходів, пов’язаних із веденням військових дій і післявоєнним відновленням та відбудовою України. Аргументовано, що найбільшим за обсягом внутрішнім джерелом фінансування державного бюджету України у період війни став випуск облігацій внутрішньої державної позики «Військові облігації».

Зроблено висновок, що своєчасно прийняті законодавчі рішення сприяли забезпеченню стабільності фінансової системи України та виконанню нею завдань фінансового забезпечення сфери оборони і безпеки, захисту фінансових інтересів держави, органів місцевого самоврядування, юридичних та фізичних осіб.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПОДАТКОВОГО КОНТРОЛЮ У ФОРМІ ПЕРЕВІРОК НЕРЕЗИДЕНТІВ – ПЛАТНИКІВ ПОДАТКУ НА ДОДАНУ ВАРТІСТЬ
Authors: Лабадін В. І.
Published: August 2023

Статтю присвячено дослідженню особливостей податкового контролю у формі перевірок нерезидентів – платників податку на додану вартість. Встановлено, що оскільки нерезиденти як платники податку на додану вартість мають низку податкових прав і обов’язків, такі нерезиденти можуть підлягати заходам податковому контролю. Це обумовлює актуальність дослідження особливостей перевірки як форми контролю за дотриманням такими нерезидентами податкового законодавства. З’ясовано, що спрощені податкові декларації, які складаються і подаються нерезидентами як платниками податку на додану вартість, підлягають виключно камеральній спеціальній перевірці, зміст і порядок проведення якої врегульовано спеціальними нормами Податкового кодексу України. На основі порівняльного аналізу камеральної спеціальної перевірки з камеральною перевіркою, зміст і порядок проведення якої врегульовано загальними нормами Податкового кодексу України, встановлені спільні ознаки цих перевірок, насамперед у частині підстави проведення, відсутності обов’язку оформлювати рішення про проведення перевірки, відсутності обов’язку оформлювати документ (зокрема, довідку) за результатами перевірки, якщо не були встановлені порушення законодавства. Водночас встановлено, що між цими перевірками є низка відмінностей. Основні відмінності камеральної спеціальної перевірки від камеральної перевірки полягають у відмінних строках проведення, порядку проведення (зважаючи на можливість запитувати у платника податку інформацію і документи при проведенні камеральної спеціальної перевірки, на відміну від камеральної перевірки), порядку оформлення результатів (у разі виявлення порушень за результатами камеральної спеціальної перевірки складається податкове повідомлення, тоді як у разі виявлення порушень за результатами камеральної перевірки складається акт, і вже на підставі інформації акту може складатися податкове повідомлення-рішення). Можливість контролюючих органів запитувати в рамках камеральної спеціальної перевірки інформацію і документи у платника податку суттєво відрізняє цю перевірку від камеральної та у цьому елементі камеральна спеціальна перевірка більше тяжіє до документальної невиїзної перевірки. Підсумовано, що камеральна спеціальна перевірка містить ознаки камеральної і документальної перевірки.

The exhibition focuses on the Colebourn Family Archive comprising digitized photographs and ephemera of Canadian soldier and veterinarian Harry Colebourn (1887–1947) who purchased a pet bear named Winnie who later became A. A. Milne's inspiration for the classic Winnie-the-Pooh children's book series.
The Pandemic Report Cards – Context and Design Proposal for a World Atlas of COVID-19 Restrictions and Mandates
Authors: Rinner Claus , Manwell Laurie
Published: August 2023

Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic left a trail of physical, mental, and social damage, while dissenting experts had argued for more balanced measures to avoid these harms. Here we propose a critical review of the research context and a preliminary design for a set of “pandemic report cards” for a selection of world countries. The purpose of this conference poster is to discuss our proposed assessment criteria. Once completed, the report cards will be combined in an atlas illustrating the many challenges we need to overcome for sustainable recovery from COVID-19 and better preparedness for future global crises.
The U.S.-Mexico Border: ‘Bad Hombres,’ A Contemporary Analysis Surrounding the Complexities of U.S. Immigration Policies Towards Mexico
Authors: Shaikh Zoya
Published: August 2023

The U.S.-Mexico border has been a topic of discussion prior to the Trump administration. Efforts to curb illegal migration from Mexico have been previously attempted in earlier Presidencies. However, unlike earlier Presidencies, President Trump has become a fixation in American media due to his outlandish nature and abrasive, racist, comments about immigrants. One of Trump’s many rallying cries is centred around creating a border-wall between U.S. and Mexico as a method of keeping out illegal migrants and other, ‘bad hombres.’1 However, Trump’s fanaticism and the American media’s obsession with it obscures the deep-seated issues at the U.S.-Mexico border which predate the current President. Keywords: Trump, Mexico, U.S., U.S.-Mexico border, Securitization, Immigration, Drug Trafficking, Crime 
Understanding the "threat" of migration in a post 9/11 context: understanding the USA's response
Authors: Ladak Sahara Iman
Published: August 2023

This paper examines the relationship between immigration, the state, national identity and security in a post 9/11 setting. Using the speech act as understood by the Copenhagen School’s theory of securitization, this paper explores how governments’ portrayal of immigrants as security risks within the literature is presented in a practical sense in the U.S. Looking to see how physical, economic and societal security in relation to migration is articulated by governments, a small selection of speeches by U.S. President Donald Trump is discussed. Providing an overview of the current literature within the securitization- migration discourse, this paper focuses on three major themes: the securitization of migration, controlling migration and the emerging theme of societal security—which focuses on the influence national identity has over restrictive migration. This theme is introduced with the hope that further research will be done on the impacts of national identity and social cohesion on restrictive migration. Key Words: Immigration, Copenhagen School’s Theory of Securitization, United States, Societal Security, Post 9/11 Context

Published: August 2023

Young Black gay, bisexual, and other sexually minoritized men (SMM) face high levels of police brutality and other negative, unwarranted encounters with the police. Such interactions have known health consequences. The purpose of this study was to understand the health, mental health, and social consequences of police brutality experienced by young Black SMM. We conducted in-depth interviews with 31 Black, cisgender men, ages of 16–30 and analyzed the data using thematic analysis. Our primary results are summarized in four themes: 1) Police brutality is built into the system and diminishes trust; 2) Videos and social media make visible violence that has long existed; 3) Police brutality contributes to anxiety and other psychosocial effects; and 4) Violence reduces feelings of safety and contributes to avoidance of police. Our results highlight the direct and vicarious police brutality participants are subjected to and sheds light on the effects of such violence on trust, perceived safety, anxiety, and trauma symptoms. Results from this study contribute to the needed public health conversation around police brutality against Black men, specifically shedding light on the experiences of Black SMM.
Investigating the Luminance Performance Gap of Environmental Simulation and High Dynamic Range Imaging
Authors: Ly Randy
Published: August 2023

This study investigates the luminance predictability gap in daylighting simulations. Building performance simulations such as energy and daylighting modeling are an integral component in designing sustainable buildings. This study investigates the difference in predicted and measured luminance to comprehend the margin's possible error using daylighting simulations. Using traditional sky models such as CIE Clear Sky can be problematic because their predictions are based on mathematical calculations based on location rather than actual sky condition. Radiance maps from high dynamic range images were compared to simulated renderings. Using RMSE (root mean square error) and MAE (Mean absolute error) were used to measure simulations' performance. One case study showed a reasonable RMSE of 26% and MAE of 15%, signifying that simulations can produce accurate predictions. However, the second case study showed an RMSE and MAE exceeding 80% due to the presence of artificial shadows. 
An Assessment of the Thermal Performance of Wood Curtain Wall Frames
Authors: Choquet Yannick
Published: August 2023

The thermal performance of three different wood framed curtain walls was analyzed and compared to the performance of two thermally broken aluminum curtain walls and one fiberglass curtain wall. U- values for the framing members and overall curtain wall, as well as condensation resistance values were obtained as per NFRC 100 through THERM/WINDOW simulation. In addition, area weighted U-value calculations were done to assess the thermal impact that glass supports had on the frame performance. Finally, whole building energy simulation was done to compare the relative performance of the system analyzed based on the building size. On average, wood curtain wall frames were found to have lower U- values than aluminum curtain wall frames and FG curtain wall frames by 59% and 14 % respectively. In addition, curtain wall sections were found to have lower U-values with wood frames than aluminum frames by an average of 14%. On the other hand, the average condensation resistance of the wood curtain walls was found to be 12% lower than aluminum curtain walls and 3% lower than FG curtain walls. The best performing curtain wall for each frame material were also modelled in OpenStudio/EnergyPlus on two different buildings and the wood curtain wall produced a TEDI that was on average 7% lower than the aluminum curtain wall. Moreover, the glass supports used in wood curtain walls were found to have a much lower impact on the U-value of the frame than the setting chairs used in aluminum curtain walls. Average overall curtain wall U-values and TEDI for the wood and FG curtain walls were found to be virtually the same. 
Assessing the Methodology of Freeze-Thaw Degradation in Varying Ages of Brick Masonry Through Frost Dilatometry
Authors: Rouse Tristan
Published: August 2023

The need for improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings is increasing as the threat of climate change also increases. Load bearing masonry buildings are predominant in major cities such as Toronto, Ottawa and Edmonton. The material was popular in the nineteenth century due to the durability and low risk of fire. However, due to the historic significance of many of these buildings, the addition of insulation occurs on the interior of the masonry wall when retrofitting. This increases the risk of freeze-thaw damage because the ability of the wall to dry out is reduced. 

Brick samples are subject to repeated freeze-thaw cycles at specific moisture content levels to determine the exact point at which dilation occurs, known as the critical degree of saturation, Scrit. It appears that the existing methodology has conservative minimum freezing temperatures, to ensure that the majority of pores freeze. However, it is unclear if freezing to low temperatures (-15°C) is necessary to produce viable results. 

Both modern and heritage brick samples were used to compare the results of freeze/thaw cycles using different test variables. As previous literature has stated that significant damage occurs between -4°C and -10°C, prompting three tests with minimum freezing temperatures of - 2°C, -6°C and -15°C. An additional three freezing rates were tested, including: -5°C hr, -12°C /hr and -21 °C /hr to understand whether the freezing rate could impact the resulting Scrit in both modern and heritage bricks. It appears that the minimum freezing temperature of -15°C is the preferred freezing temperature to use, as it allows for the majority of water inside the bricks to freeze, causing damage throughout the freeze/thaw cycles. However, it is unclear whether the freezing rate has any impact on the Scrit results, as the results obtained from the freeze/thaw cycles are unreliable. 
Predicting Urban Functional Zones with Twitter Data Using the Space-Time Scan Statistics Method and the Random Forest Classifier
Authors: Mawuenyegah Aleta
Published: August 2023

Studies relating to spatiotemporal data clustering in geosocial media data have laid the groundwork for the analysis of clusters over a large study area. This thesis aims to identify whether urban functional zones can be predicted based on a pattern of data clusters that occurs within each functional zone. A framework is presented for the segmentation, annotation, classification, and validation of the functional zones of land segments in an urban study area. The Space-Time Scan Statistics approach was adopted and used to cluster a dataset of tweets into ‘events’. Characteristic attributes of the detected cluster areas were converted into land segment attributes and used as the input in the Random Forest classifier. Labels for each segment were determined based on high-level land use classes. The classifier was trained, validated, and tested on subsets of the study area. The resulting precision, recall, and F1 score were 88.96%, 89.15%, and 88.23%, respectively. 
Development of a Test Method to Evaluate Durability of Concrete Control Joints Against De-Icer Salts
Authors: Elbakari Ramy
Published: August 2023

This thesis introduces a test method that can be used to evaluate the integrity of control joints. Different salt concentrations and exposure conditions are tested including freeze-thaw cycles, wet-dry cycles and a combination thereof. The test sample is composed of a square block measuring 200x200x120 mm and a joint running in the middle at 40 mm depth. It was revealed that, for accelerated damage to be induced, the test method needs to include two salts with two conditions. The first exposure uses NaCl at 10% concentration with 50 cycles of freeze/thaw- wet/dry alternating every 5 consecutive cycles. The second exposure uses CaCl2 at 15% concentration with 50 cycles of wetting and drying at 5°C. Damage assessment is carried out using two approaches: 1) strength loss under flexural loading and 2) visual damage. The proposed method needs more optimization but is a step in the direction of testing different configuration of joints and concrete properties.
