The Effect of Online Reviews on Movie Box Office Sales
Authors: Cheng Li-Chen , Yang Yiwen
Published: March 2022

Due to the rapidly growth of social media, potential moviegoers always depend on the online reviews to make their purchase decisions. Film companies need to know what aspects of reviews will drive sales up or down. This study proposes a framework which integrates an aspect-based sentiment analysis and econometric modeling to explore the relationships between the information features in online reviews and movie ticket sales. The empirical results indicate that whereas the rating does not matter to moviegoers and does not affect movie revenues, additional textual review, both positive and negative contents, does have a positive impact on moviegoers, and further prompts the movie revenues. These findings have significant implications for movie producers as well as advertisers to target promotions at their audience accordingly.
Social Context of Turnover-Mixed Methods Study of Indian IT Professionals
Authors: Haran Vidya V. , Niederman Fred
Published: March 2022

This paper examines the social context of turnover, defined by the influence of supervisors, peers, and family. Using a mixed-methods research design, data were collected by two rounds of semi-structured interviews with 75 IT professionals working in the IT outsourcing industry in India. After a span of 10 months, the respondents were contacted again to longitudinally measure actual turnover behavior. Using structured equation modeling, the study shows that family and supervisory justice play a critical part in the turnover process. The model has sufficient explanatory power and explains 37% of the variance in turnover intentions and 27% of the variance in actual turnover behavior. In addition, we used logistic regression to show the effect of various antecedents on the dependent variable. The detailed qualitative analysis offers insights into the dichotomy between intentions and behavior. Finally, implications for practice and research are discussed.

Authors: Ifinedo Princely , Mengesha Nigussie , Bekele Rahel
Published: March 2022

Employee engagement in unhygienic cyber practices (UCP) is a concern for organizations across the world. The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of personal and environmental factors in decreasing workers’ engagement in UCP in a developing country: A personal-environment-behavior model was adapted for the study. Data was collected from working MBA students in Ethiopia. The key results show that the personal factor of self-regulation related to acceptable cyber practices decreases workers’ engagement in UCP, while self-efficacy did not. The environmental factor of computer monitoring (CM) decrease workers’ engagement in UCP, while the availability of security education and training awareness (SETA) programs did not. Both CM and SETA have positive effects in improving self-efficacy. Only SETA programs positively impact self-regulation. This study adds to the understanding of end-user security behavior by focusing on UCP with insights from a developing country.
Research on Information-Driven Trades in China
Authors: Tao Juan , Sun Dongqi , Wu Yingying
Published: March 2022

The authors examine the information-driven trades and informed traders' order size strategies in China's stock market. They find the aggregate U-shaped informed trading is not only explained by the time-of-day effect but is also related to the order size strategy, which is shown by intraday variations in the composition of small, medium, and large trades. The evidence of information predictability from early morning to market close and from late afternoon to the next day provides additional insights into the intraday informed trading pattern. They identify the non-negligible price impact (PI) of large trades and propose a modified model, VDPIN-PI, which better captures the trades with information advantage compared to the baseline model.
Appraisal of cytohistomorphology of papillary carcinoma thyroid and its variants with evaluation of discrepant cases
Authors: Megalamane Supreetha , Anatharamiah Hemalatha , Prasad C. S. B. R.
Published: March 2022

Background:

Papillary carcinoma thyroid is the most commonly occurring thyroid neoplasm which can be diagnosed by its characteristic cytological features by fine-needle aspiration procedure. Due too few limitations in fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) technique, there are false-positive and false-negative diagnoses in papillary carcinoma thyroid lesions.

Aim:

In our study, we would like to evaluate the accuracy of thyroid FNAC and to determine the reasons for cytopathological discrepancies.

Materials and Methods:

Two hundred and twenty-three cases were collected from archives of our Department of Pathology. Slides were retrieved for which cytohistopathology correlation differed and reviewed. Statistical analysis for False positive/ negative rates, positive predictive value, sensitivity and specificity were done.

Results:

For 170 cases, cytohistopathology correlation, 27 cases were discordant which accounted for 15.2% of false-negative rates. 87% sensitivity, 96.6% positive predictive value and 10.6% false positive were calculated.

Conclusion:

FNAC is a reliable screening procedure in spite of having few pitfalls. Awareness of these pitfalls, while reporting by cytopathologist can minimize false-positive and false-negative reporting on thyroid lesions.

Published: March 2022

Intracranial arterial dolichoectasia is a disorder of cerebral vasculature characterized by abnormal elongation, tortuosity, and dilatation of the cerebral arteries. The posterior circulation is more frequently affected than the anterior circulation. Dolichoectasia of internal carotid arteries (ICAs) presenting with binasal hemianopia is rare. We report a case report of a 48-year-old male who presented with a history of binasal hemianopia. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain with MR angiography showed bilateral dolichoectasia of ICAs compressing bilateral optic nerve and optic chiasm. Diagnosis of bilateral optic neuropathy due to dolichoectasia of ICAs was made after thorough investigation and ruling out of other possible etiologies of bilateral optic neuropathy. Dolichoectasia is a rare cause of bilateral optic neuropathy and should be suspected in patients who present with gradually progressive visual field loss with onset in the nasal field.

Published: March 2022

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost 100 million people worldwide. Although the disease spectrum has still not been fully understood, there have been the reports of the persistence of symptoms well beyond the acute stage or after discharge from the hospital. Therefore, there is a need to document the persistence of symptoms to identify and provide physical as well as psychosocial support for ensuring the complete recovery of COVID-19 survivors. The present study examines the postacute stage persistence of symptoms in severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 patients.

Materials and Methods:

A longitudinal follow-up study was conducted on 1170 patients discharged from COVID hospital. All the study participants were contacted after discharge and at 7-day intervals for 42 days, and details of the persistence of symptoms were sought from them.

Results:

It was found that 43.8% of patients had persistence of symptoms, and 12.4% had symptoms even after 30 days of discharge from the hospital. Among symptoms, the most common persisting symptom was found to be fatigue (26%) followed by respiratory difficulty. The presence of comorbidity (odds ratio 1.61, 95% confidence interval 1.56–2.25, P < 0.01) and moderate/severe disease were found to be independent risk factors for the persistence of COVID-related symptoms.

Conclusion:

The findings of the study indicate that a large number of COVID-19 survivors continue to suffer from COVID-19 symptoms well after the recovery from the acute stage (discharge from hospital). Therefore, there is a genuine need for instituting measures for the monitoring of patients postdischarge and if required providing treatment to those having persistent symptoms of COVID-19.
The clinical application of intravesical botulinum toxin A injection in patients with overactive bladder and interstitial cystitis
Authors: Jiang Yuan-Hong , Jhang Jia-Fong , Kuo Hann-Chorng
Published: March 2022

Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) has been widely used in several urological functional disorders including neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), overactive bladder (OAB), lower urinary tract dysfunction, and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Chronic inflammation is found in a large proportion of patients with OAB and IC/BPS. The chronic inflammation activates sensory afferents which resulting in central sensitization and bladder storage symptoms. Because BoNT-A can inhibit the sensory peptides released from the vesicles in sensory nerve terminals, the inflammation can be reduced and symptom subsided. Previous studies have demonstrated that the quality of life improved after BoNT-A injections, both in neurogenic and non-NDO. Although the use of BoNT-A in treatment of IC/BPS has not been approved by FDA, intravesical BoNT-A injection has been included in the AUA guideline as the fourth line therapy. Generally, intravesical injections of BoNT-A are well tolerated, though transient hematuria and urinary tract infection can occur after the procedure. In order to prevent these adverse events, experimental trials have been conducted to test if BoNT-A can be delivered into the bladder wall without intravesical injection under anesthesia such as using liposomes encapsulated BoNT-A or application of low energy shock wave on the bladder to facilitate BoNT-A penetrating across the urothelium and treat OAB or IC/BPS. This article reviews current clinical and basic researches of BoNT-A on OAB and IC/BPS.
Anisotropy and stratification effects in the dynamics of fast rotating compressible fluids
Authors: Prange Christophe , Bocchi Edoardo , Fanelli Francesco
Published: March 2022

The primary goal of this paper is to develop robust methods to handle two ubiquitous features
appearing in the modeling of geophysical flows: (i) the
anisotropy
of the viscous stress tensor
and (ii)
stratification
effects.We focus on the barotropic Navier–Stokes equations with Coriolis and
gravitational forces. Two results are the main contributions of the paper. Firstly, we establish a local
well-posedness result for finite-energy solutions, via a maximal regularity approach. This method
allows us to circumvent the use of the effective viscous flux, which plays a key role in the weak
solutions theories of Lions–Feireisl and Hoff, but seems to be restricted to isotropic viscous stress
tensors. Moreover, our approach is sturdy enough to take into account nonconstant reference density
states; this is crucial when dealing with stratification effects. Secondly, we study the structure
of the solutions to the previous model in the regime when the Rossby, Mach and Froude numbers
are of the same order of magnitude. We prove an error estimate on the relative entropy between
actual solutions and their approximation by a large-scale quasi-geostrophic flow supplemented with
Ekman boundary layers. Our analysis holds for a large class of barotropic pressure laws.
A fast regularisation of a Newtonian vortex equation
Authors: Carrillo José A. , Gómez-Castro David , Vázquez Juan Luis
Published: March 2022

We consider equations of the form

u_t = \nabla \cdot ( \gamma(u) \nabla \operatorname{N}(u))

,
where

\operatorname{N}

is the Newtonian potential (inverse of the Laplacian) posed in the whole space

\mathbb{R}^d

, and

\gamma(u)

is the mobility. For linear mobility,

\gamma(u)=u

, the equation and some variations have been proposed as a model for superconductivity or superfluidity. In that case the theory leads to uniqueness of bounded weak solutions having the property of compact space support, and in particular there is a special solution in the form of a disk vortex of constant intensity in space

u=c_1t^{-1}

supported in a ball that spreads in time like

c_2t^{1/d}

, thus showing a discontinuous leading front.

In this paper we propose the model with sublinear mobility

\gamma(u)=u^\alpha

, with

0<\alpha<1

, and prove that non-negative solutions recover positivity everywhere, and moreover display a fat tail at infinity. The model acts in many ways as a regularisation of the previous one. In particular, we find that the equivalent of the previous vortex is an explicit self-similar solution decaying in time like

u=O(t^{-1/\alpha})

with a space tail with size

u=O(|x|^{- d/(1-\alpha)})

. We restrict the analysis to radial solutions and construct solutions by the method of characteristics. We introduce the mass function, which solves an unusual variation of Burgers’ equation, and plays an important role in the analysis. We show well-posedness in the sense of viscosity solutions. We also construct numerical finite-difference convergent schemes.

\delta \Omega

, then

u

The Covid-19 virus has impacted the tourism sector heavily. The pandemic provided a fertile ground for politicians, development experts and individuals to ‘open’ up and share their emotions. In this article, discourse analysis is used to decipher the politicization of the COVID-19 Omicron variant and its impacts on the tourism Southern African tourism sector. Data is collected from the social media platforms, chiefly, Twitter. The approaches taken by countries that harshly banned travel to the Southern Africa have been described as Afrophobia, anti-scientific and fear and anti-development of the Southern African tourism sector. There is a general agreement among the voices of the participants that the strands of injustice and mistrust still exist among nations and politicians, a situation which is detrimental to tourism development.
Multilinguals in a Monolingual Community:
The Influence of Non-linguistic Switching Cost and Awareness of Language Environment on Intentional and Unintentional Language Switch
Authors: Yeh Li-Hao , Lim Jie Yee
Published: March 2022

Multilinguals who live in their native multilingual communities are constantly switching between languages, whereas those who live in monolingual communities need to constrain their code-switching. Malaysia is a multilingual country in which people mix languages on a daily basis, whereas, in Taiwan, Mandarin is predominately used and people are more cautious about code-switching. Therefore, in the current study, we investigated what factors might facilitate Malaysian-Chinese students to reduce the unintentional switching between languages to adapt to the language environment in Taiwan. Malaysian-Chinese who live in Malaysia (MIM) and Taiwan (MIT) were recruited to investigate whether and how non-linguistic code-switching and their awareness of language environment (ALE) influence their intentional and unintentional code-switching experiences. Participants' non-verbal code-switching was measured by a color/shape switching task, whereas ALE and code-switching experiences were measured by questionnaires. The multiple regression analyses of MIT's responses showed that the moderation of non-linguistic switch cost and ALE significantly predicted MIT's unintentional code-switching. Moreover, the simple slope analysis showed that MIT with high executive control have a dynamic unintentional switch in which the higher level of ALE is associated with lower unintentional switch. However, MIT with low executive control have a static unintentional switch, uninfluenced by their level of ALE. These results suggested that multilinguals' executive control along with their awareness of the language environment help them adapt to living in a community with a predominant language.
Processamento de linguagem e o acesso lexical em língua estrangeira na gamification e nos jogos lúdico-interativos: Um estudo bibliográfico no contexto brasileiro
Authors: Silva Mirella Mota Cavalcante da , Coutinho Irislene e Silva , Miranda Daniele Lima
Published: March 2022

O objetivo desse artigo é destacar a apropriação de vocabulário em língua estrangeira (LE) em situações de aprendizagem, tais como em atividades de gamification e jogos lúdico-interativos. Tendo em vista o processamento de linguagem, partimos da perspectiva de que o acesso lexical corresponde à emissão e produção de significados, ou seja, dos vocabulários, e está associado aos aspectos cognitivos, culturais e sociais de uma língua (BARBOSA, 2009). Logo, compreendendo a relação entre o processamento linguístico e a apropriação de um novo idioma, apontamos a relevância de ferramentas digitais para motivar o alunado ao desenvolvimento do léxico em LE. Para alcançarmos esse propósito, a metodologia do trabalho enfoca um levantamento qualitativo e bibliográfico (CRESWELL, 2010; YIN, 2016), revisitando na literatura, estudos que amparem a premência da temática. Logo, selecionamos quatro artigos que melhor se encaixam às necessidades do escopo desta pesquisa. Os resultados apontam que gamificar atividades (BORGES, 2017) e utilizar jogos lúdico-interativos (MARINHO; MIRANDA, 2019), em contexto de aprendizagem, parecem corresponder às estratégias de ensino e apropriação lexical em LE, porquanto tende a despertar a motivação e o engajamento do aluno. Apesar disso, observa-se que os aplicativos móveis ainda precisam atualizar seus designers para contextualizar a aplicação de interculturalidade às atividades gamificadas. Mesmo assim, incentivamos o uso dessas ferramentas digitais e sugerimos a continuidade de ações de pesquisas empíricas acerca da temática, a fim de divulgar observações relevantes à comunidade acadêmica.
The Use of the Modified Semi-bounded Plug-in Algorithm to Compare Neural and Bayesian Classifiers Stability
Authors: Othman Ibtissem Ben , Ghorbel Faouzi
Published: March 2022

Despite of the widespread use of the neural networks in the industrial applications, their mathematical formulation remains difficult to analyze. This explains a limited amount of work that formally models their classification volatility. Referring to the statistical point of view, we attempt in this work to evaluate the classical and Bayesian neural networks stability degree compared to the statistical methods stressing their error rate probability densities. The comparison based on this new criterion is performed using the modified semi-bounded Plug-in algorithm.
Convolutional Code Theory based Steganography Technique

Published: March 2022

Steganography, as it is known, is a technique to hide a secret message within a message or collection of data that is not secret, and a problem in mathematics is to decipher the secret included in the message, to solve this problem a good tool It is the theory of codes. Unlike the existing works that use block codes to hide information using the steganographic process, in this work, we propose the use of convolutional coding theory in steganography to encrypt and decrypt messages methods to decrypt messages. Here, we suggest a steganographic protocol based on convolutional codes in which they are defined as discrete linear dynamical systems with which the properties on controllability and observability characteristic of linear systems theory can be applied, in particular the properties of output observability character which can be easily described using matrix language. The proposed decoding algorithm used for dissimulation is a linear decoding method, which has decreased both the time and space complexity, compared to the Viterbi decoding algorithm, sometimes used in other cases; indeed, we go from 2h.n to 2h=2.n, in memory space (with h: constraint height, and n: length of cover object). Moreover, the time complexity is better, while we can also denote that with the convolutional approach, we intend to take advantage of the time-depending transaction.

The challenges identified should be addressed in order to improve the use of online assessment in the future.
Towards Low-Latency Implementation of Linear Layers
Authors: Liu Qun , Wang Weijia , Fan Yanhong , Wu Lixuan , Sun Ling , Wang Meiqin
Published: March 2022

Lightweight cryptography features a small footprint and/or low computational complexity. Low-cost implementations of linear layers usually play an important role in lightweight cryptography. Although it has been shown by Boyar et al. that finding the optimal implementation of a linear layer is a Shortest Linear Program (SLP) problem and NP-hard, there exist a variety of heuristic methods to search for near-optimal solutions. This paper considers the low-latency criteria and focuses on the heuristic search of lightweight implementation for linear layers. Most of the prior approach iteratively combines the inputs (of linear layers) to reach the output, which can be regarded as the forward search. To better adapt the low-latency criteria, we propose a new framework of backward search that attempts to iteratively split every output (into an XORing of two bits) until all inputs appear. By bounding the time of splitting, the new framework can find a sub-optimal solution with a minimized depth of circuits.We apply our new search algorithm to linear layers of block ciphers and find many low-latency candidates for implementations. Notably, for AES Mixcolumns, we provide an implementation with 103 XOR gates with a depth of 3, which is among the best hardware implementations of the AES linear layer. Besides, we obtain better implementations in XOR gates for 54.3% of 4256 Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) matrices proposed by Li et al. at FSE 2019. We also achieve an involutory MDS matrix (in M4(GL(8, F2))) whose implementation uses the lowest number (i.e., 86, saving 2 from the state-of-the-art result) of XORs with the minimum depth.
Addendum to Linear Cryptanalyses of Three AEADs with GIFT-128 as Underlying Primitives
Authors: Sun Ling , Wang Wei , Wang Meiqin
Published: March 2022

In ToSC 2021(2), Sun et al. implemented an automatic search with the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) method on GIFT-128 and identified a 19-round linear approximation with the expected linear potential being 2−117.43, which is utilised to launch a 24-round attack on the cipher. In this addendum, we discover a new 19-round linear approximation with a lower expected linear potential. However, in the attack, one more round can be appended after the distinguisher. As a result, we improve the previous optimal linear attack by one round and put forward a 25-round linear attack. Given that the optimal differential attack on GIFT-128, for now, covers 27-round, the resistances of the cipher against differential and linear attacks still have a 2-round gap.

Léxico del teatro musical
Authors: Ramírez Vargas Cristhyna María de los Ángeles
Published: March 2022

El teatro musical es un género artístico que tiene como base el teatro, al cual se integran canciones, coros (con voz o instrumentales) y danzas, que se combinan con el fin de contar historias. El teatro musical, desde 1886, se ha vuelto cada vez más famoso en países como Estados Unidos, Cuba, Argentina, entre otros. Sin embargo, en Perú, recién en la última década, ha comenzado a ganar mayor popularidad. Los artistas que lo ejercen utilizan ciertos términos específicos de su profesión, los cuales, generalmente, tienen una acepción diferente a la que se encuentra en el Diccionario de la lengua española (Real Academia Española, 2014). Este artículo recoge cuarenta y seis (46) voces que se han obtenido a través de entrevistas a artistas dedicados al teatro musical. Esta investigación es de carácter descriptivo y tiene como objetivo definir las voces de este léxico empleando la técnica lexicográfica. Cada voz presentada está compuesta por información etimológica, marcas gramaticales, la definición, ejemplos de uso y, en algunos casos, notas lexicográficas.
Resemantización del ritual de la muerte desde las crónicas hasta el testimonio quechua contemporáneo
Authors: Viera Mendoza Sara
Published: March 2022

Las descripciones sobre la muerte que realizan Guamán Poma, Cieza y Garcilazo de la Vega presentan características comunes, como el embalsamamiento del cuerpo, la reunión de la familia en el velorio, la rememoración de las hazañas del difunto con cantos en tono lastimero y el entierro con todas sus pertenencias. De todos los descritos, algunos han perdido relevancia, como el respeto y cuidado del cuerpo. Por eso, en los testimonios revisados, se señala la poca importancia que ahora adquiere el cuerpo del difunto con esta frase: «su cadáver estará votado». Otros se han resemantizado, por ejemplo, los objetos que debe tener el muerto para pasar a la otra vida. Ahora le compran un terno y una corbata. Tienen que usar zapatillas porque ellas le permitirán correr más rápido a la gloria. Los elementos tradicionales como los cantos, la comida, el llanto, la familia y la importancia de los ritos que debían hacer al cuerpo del difunto perdieron relevancia; sin embargo, no ha significado una pérdida del simbolismo o una asimilación de una visión más occidentalizada de lo que es la muerte, por ello este imaginario aún pervive en el testimonio quechua y en el simbolismo que portan algunos animales que aparecen en los relatos de tradición oral.

Penerapan Model PAIKEM Pada Pendidikan Agama Kristen Berbasis CBSA Di Era Pandemi Covid-19
Authors: Benyamin Priskila Issak , Gracia Febie Yolla
Published: March 2022

Christian religious education learning during the pandemic needs to find an active, innovative, creative, effective, and fun learning model. Students experience boredom with the monotonous online learning system and seem less interactive, so it becomes a challenge when Face-to-face Learning (PTM) is implemented during the pandemic. It impacts student learning outcomes in the classroom, which has decreased. This research aims to increase the activeness and learning outcomes of students in online learning and PTM. The research method used is classroom action research by applying several stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection in each cycle. The researcher applies the CBSA-based PAIKEM model on Christian Religious Education subjects. Learning CBSA-based PAIKEM makes students active by carrying out various activities such as discussing, solving problems, forming ideas, compiling plans, and reports in-class learning. After two cycles, the study results showed a significant increase from the initial conditions, and student learning outcomes met the KKM for Christian Religious Education subjects.

Dalam Kekristenan sikap moderasi beragama memiliki makna yang jauh lebih mendalam dari makna secara umum. Sesuai ajaran Alkitab, sikap tersebut bukan merupakan tuntutan atau tugas namun justru sebagai kebutuhan hidup yang melekat bagi umat percaya. Riset ini memuat tujuan mendeskripsikan pemahaman moderasi beragama sesuai dengan kajian Matius 23:25-32. Hal ini penting disampaikan mengingat saat ini terdapat pemahaman yang tidak tepat mengenai moderasi beragama  dalam lingkup orang percaya. Metode riset mempergunakan deskriptif kualitatif dengan studi pustaka. Hasil riset menemukan bahwa moderasi beragama yang Tuhan ajarkan mengandung sikap mulia yaitu kesadaran diri sebagai makhluk yang lemah-bergantung sepenuhnya pada Tuhan. Fokus hidup hanya kepada Tuhan, mengasihiNya dengan segenap hati dan mengasihi sesama menjadi tindakan yang menyertai. Moderasi beragama dibutuhkan agar umat Tuhan terhindar dari rasa cinta diri atau narsis, kesombongan dan memandang rendah orang lain sehingga akan memunculkan konflik dan penderitaan orang lain.  Kehidupan yang moderat dalam beragama sesuai iman Kristen didasarkan kepada kasih, penguasaan diri, kelemahlembutan, kesabaran, damai dan sukacita yang  terlahir sebagai buah Roh Tuhan. Prinsip utama moderasi beragama sesuai iman Kristen adalah bahwa sikap tersebut merupakan sebuah kebutuhan hidup yang melekat pada semua umat percaya karena di dalamnya mengandung relasi mendalam bersama dengan Tuhan dan berunsur buah-buah Roh.

Hidup menggereja adalah sebuah aktualisasi iman dalam masyarakat, yang mampu meghadirkan Allah di tengah dunia. Gereja seringkali melupakan perannya di tengah masyarakat karena terfokus kepada masalah-masalah spiritualitas secara interen. Panggilan hidup menggereja dalam bingkai relasi sosial sebenarnya sebuah upaya gereja dalam menciptakan dan membangun dimensi-dimensi sosial di dalam masyarakat dengan tujuan supaya gereja berpartisifasi dalam membangun persatuan, keharmonisan dalam bermasyarakat dan bernegara.  Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan beberapa hal yang harus dipahami oleh orang percaya di dalam hidup menggereja; pertama hidup menggereja dalam bingkai relasi sosial memiliki dasar teologis. Kedua, hidup menggereja di tengah bangsa Indonesia harus memahami keragaman dalam beragama, kekayaan budaya serta memahami adanya kesenjangan sosial dalam masyarakat. Metode yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini studi pustaka dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif.

Sikap beragama yang moderat sangat diperlukan demi terjaganya prinsip kebhinekaan di negara ini. Umat percaya sebagai  bagian komponen bangsa memiliki tanggung jawab untuk menghidupkan nilai-nilai iman Kristen dalam ruang virtual sebagai wujud tugas menerangi dan menggarami dunia. Penelitian bertujuan menyampaikan pemahaman moderasi beragama bagi umat percaya dan cara praksis menjalankannya dalam kehidupan ruang virtual masa kini. Metode riset adalah pendekatan jenis kualitatif deskriptif melalui studi pustaka. Riset memberikan simpulan terdapat dua cara bermoderasi bagi umat percaya: pertama dalam lingkup internal agama Kristen atau lingkup umat percaya melalui upaya membangun satu suara dan satu warna dalam iman di ruang virtual. Kedua, lingkup eksternal dalam berhubungan dengan penganut agama lain yaitu melalui harmonisasi: menghargai ajaran dan keyakinan agama lain. Cara pertama moderasi di lingkup internal agama Kristen melalui sikap antara lain: satu, merespon semua perbedaan dalam kedewasaan iman tanpa pertentangan, perselisihan dan upaya mempertanyakan. Dua, mengubah energi perselisihan menjadi energi untuk pertobatan Tiga, menjalin dialog bersama dalam kesatuan umat untuk menciptakan satu sikap iman dalam kasih. Empat, membentuk budaya Kristen dalam kehidupan ruang virtual dan membangun komitmen. Cara Kedua bermoderasi dalam lingkup eksternal yaitu  membangun hubungan dengan penganut agama lain dengan melalui harmonisasi. Tindakan konkritnya: satu, gereja bersatu komitmen fokus membangun iman jemaat. Dua, membentuk model penginjilan atau misi dalam ruang virtual yang mengedepankan kasih, kepedulian, kelemahlembutan. Tiga, membentuk komunitas masyarakat untuk mengkampanyekan sikap moderasi beragama dan cinta tanah air dengan prinsip kebhinekaan dalam ruang virtual. Empat, umat percaya secara aktif memenuhi ruang virtual dengan mengumandangkan narasi keagamaan yang berdasarkan kebenaran firman Tuhan. Moderasi  beragama bagi umat Tuhan sangat dibutuhkan, tidak hanya untuk menjaga keutuhan bangsa namun juga sebagai penjaga keutuhan iman pada Tuhan.

Classification of text documents with large amounts will be a job that requires a lot of time, effort and cost of having to read text documents and then categorize them manually, therefore the automatic classification of text documents is needed. The algorithm developed is K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN), Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Neural Network (NN) and Maximum Entropy. The algorithm used as the object of research is a variation of the Naïve Bayes algorithm, the Naïve Bayes Multivariate Bernoulli and the Naïve Bayes Multinomial. This study discusses whether there are differences between the Algorithms. The Naïve Bayes Multivariate Bernoulli algorithm and the Naïve Bayes Multinomial can be seen from the value of the agreement and the speed of the process of classifying text documents, as well as more information about the process of processing requests that are getting more and more requested. While the highest value using the non-stemming Naïve Bayes Bernoulli method is 71.33%, and the fastest processing time is required using the non-stemming Naïve Bayes method which requires 0.12 seconds processing time.

Published: March 2022

Sistem HRD di PT Asia Chemical Industri saat ini sudah berbasis database yang terstruktur dan memiliki sistem informasi. Namun dalam sistem HRD sekarang belum ada sistem dalam pelayanan karyawan berbasis web, seperti penyajian informasi yang bersifat hak karyawan. Hal ini disebabkan sistem yang sudah ada hanya sistem absensi yang akan tetapi belum dapat memenuhi kebutuhan bagian HRD di karenakan sistem yang sudah ada hanya sistem absensi yang default dari mesin finger print dan untuk payroll hanya sebatas proses penggajian di mana aksesnya pun di miliki oleh bagian accounting di karenakan payroll masuk dalam sistem ERP perusahaan. Untuk PT Asia Chemical Industri saat ini pengembangan sistem di butuhkan para pengguna hingga ke penyajian pelayanan informasi dan untuk sekarang sistem yang masih berjalan masih belum bisa memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna hingga penyajian informasi khususnya bagian Karyawan. Untuk itu di butuhkannya sebuah pengembangan sistem informasi berbasis web. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk lebih mempermudah dalam mengakses data- data dan penyajian informasi yang diberikan oleh bagian HRD untuk para karyawan dan pihak-pihak yang membutuhkan. Metode yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode Waterfall yang diawali dengan penelitian pada sistem yang sedang berjalan, analisa, perancangan, pengkodean, serta pemeliharaan sistem agar di dalam pengembangan sistem informasi ini sesuai dengan kebutuhan para pengguna dan kebutuhan user. Hasil yang diharapkan dari penelitian ini adalah mengenai pengembangan sistem informasi Pelayanan Karyawan yang ingin memberikan penyajian pelayanan informasi bagi setiap karyawan dengan cepat dan tidak terbatas oleh waktu.

The ease of accessing information results in an increase in the level of plagiarism. Plagiarism is an act of tacking other peoples’ writings or opinions and making it look as if they were by themselves without first studying and not including the source. A detection similarity is an application that is made based on a website to detect the similarity or similarity of a document/text with other documents/text. In addition, il also provides an overview of the calculation sequence of how the calculation process in detecting the text runs until it produces the percentage of similarity of the text. In a making-based application website, this methodology used is the waterfall. While the method used in calculating the similarity of the text is the Algorithm Winnowing. The winnowing algorithm is one of the document method fingerprints. This method can identify the similarity of the test, including small parts that are similar in a set of documents that are analyzed through the fingerprint generated and for calculating the percentage results using the Jaccard Coefficient. The Smaller the percentage level of similarity of a text document, the smaller the level of similarity, but if the percentage value is greater then can be ascertained that the document is plagiarized. The winnowing algorithm can be used as a plagiarism check in thesis and journal documents. The application built in this system is running well because the winnowing algorithm can help check plagiarism in the thesis and journal documents.

Abstract

New flexible-form and semi-parametric autoregressive non-linear count models for panel data are developed to analyse the spread and containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. The models are based on a discrete time form of the SIR model. These methods lead naturally to estimators of the infection process and daily reproduction numbers by jurisdiction. Two semi-parametric versions of the reproduction numbers are developed corresponding to currently popular parametric estimators. The estimators are applied to a large international data set to estimate these parameters for 221 jurisdictions at both national and subnational levels.

Fungal wound infections are increasing worldwide. The aim of this retrospective study, conducted at the Aga Khan University laboratory, Karachi, Pakistan, was to determine the frequency of fungal isolation in wound specimens. Data of wound samples received for culture from all over the country between September and October 2018 was reviewed. Samples were processed for bacterial cultures and additionally inoculated on Sabouraud’s dextrose medium. Demographic information, medical history and information on the type of wound was collected. A total of 140 cases were included, of which 87 (81%) were culture positive, while 10 (7%) cases yielded fungi. Burn and blast wounds had the highest proportion of fungal isolation, i.e. 2 out of 4 (50%). Candida species were the most common fungi (n=4), followed by Fusarium species (n=3). This study reports an alarming rate of fungal wound infections. As fungal necrotising wound infections have high morbidity and mortality, it is, therefore, important to accurately diagnose and treat such infections in local setting.
