RETHINKING OF LOCAL ELECTION IN THE UNITARY STATE: A STUDY OF INDONESIA’S POLITICS
Authors: Setiawati Siti Mutiah
Published: May 2024

The election is very much associated with democracy. As Indonesia is constitutionally democratic the country is also committed to holding the election regularly. However, as Indonesia is a unitary state, identifying local elections with dmocratization might be questionable. This study was a research-based articl on Indonesia’s politics today. A thorough observation of the local election showed that from the perspectiv of economics, the local election was identical to wasting finansial and time energy. In the long run, it may put the country at risk of disintegration from the standpoint of politics. Due to the weaknesses of a local election, the main question is why the Government institutionalizd local polls. Thus, the result revealed that the local election as a means of recruiting local government leaders was worth dismantling and recommended to be replaced by a tight selection of administrative requirements.Pemilu sangat erat kaitannya dengan demokrasi. Karena Indonesia secara konstitusional demokratis, negara ini juga berkomitmen untuk menyelenggarakan pemilu secara teratur. Namun, karena Indonesia adalah negara kesatuan, mengidentifikasi pemilihan kepala daerah dengan demokratisasi mungkin patut dipertanyakan. Artikel ini merupakan artikel berbasis riset tentang politik Indonesia saat ini. Pengamatan menyeluruh terhadap pilkada menunjukkan bahwa dari segi ekonomi, pilkada identik dengan pemborosan dana dan tenaga waktu. Dalam jangka panjang, hal itu dapat menempatkan negara pada risiko disintegrasi dari sudut pandang politik. Karena kelemahan pilkada, pertanyaan utamanya adalah mengapa Pemerintah melembagakan pilkada. Dengan demikian, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pilkada sebagai sarana rekruitmen pimpinan pemerintah daerah layak dibongkar dan direkomendasikan untuk diganti dengan seleksi persyaratan administrasi yang ketat.

Student learning motivation is the main aspect in achieving student success. Based on the results of observations and interviews, student learning motivation at MTsN 8 Pidie and MTsN 11 Pidie is still relatively low, which has an impact on low student learning outcomes. The aim of this research is to determine the difference in increasing student learning outcomes and motivation on respiratory system material after implementing a STEM-based learning module containing Islamic values. The population of this study were all students in class VIII MTsN 8 Pidie and MTsN 11 Pidie. The samples were taken by purposive sampling, at MTsN 8 Pidie the research samples were class VIII.1 and class VIII.2. Meanwhile at MTsN 11 Pidie the research samples were class VIII.2 and class VIII.3. Data collection uses questionnaire instruments to measure learning motivation and uses test question instruments to measure student learning outcomes. The results of data analysis using a test (Mann-Whitney test) show that there are differences in motivation and learning outcomes, namely a significant value of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that there is a significant difference between the motivation and learning outcomes of control class and experimental class students. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an increase in learning outcomes and student motivation by implementing STEM-based modules with Islamic values

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Odontomas, the most common odontogenic tumors, result from developmental abnormalities where epithelial and mesenchymal cells grow, forming functional ameloblasts and odontoblasts. Typically asymptomatic, they are often associated with unerupted or impacted teeth. Odontomas are categorized as complex or compound, based on their tissue composition and structure. The preferred treatment is conservative surgical excision, followed by histopathological analysis for confirmation. Case History: A 13-year-old female patient came to the Pedodontic Clinic at RSGM Airlangga University with the chief complaint of unerupted upper front teeth. Intraoral eximination revealed no facial asymmetry. Intraoral examination revealed the absence of maxillary right central and lateral incisors with an asymptomatic swelling and no inflammation of the overlying mucosa. The patient had no history of systemic diseases such as heart disease or blood disorders, and there were no known allergies to food or medications. Discussion: Odontomas are generally asymptomatic and associated with unerupted or impacted teeth or retention of primary teeth. Removal of obstructions like odontome results in a spontaneous eruption of the impacted tooth. Another method currently being undertaken involves surgically exposing unerupted teeth and placing bonded attachment along with ligatures/e-chains for orthodontic traction so that it will speedup eruption process. Conclusion: The odontoma must be removed so that it will not disrupt dental growth and development, especially tooth eruption.

The ingestion of foreign bodies is a common emergency, particularly in children, but it can occur at any age. We report a case of 20-year-old patient with no medical history ingested a chicken bone during a meal, leading to unsuccessful endoscopic extraction at a local hospital. CT scanning revealed esophageal perforation at T4 level with erosion of the right pulmonary parenchyma near the azygos arch. A right posterolateral thoracotomy was performed, with successful removal of the bone fragment and closure of the esophageal perforation. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient discharged after 20 days and remaining stable at a 6-month follow-up. This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary management to prevent severe complications from foreign body ingestion.

Authors: Tuanaya Wahab
Published: May 2024

The development of eco-friendly cities necessitates collaboration between the government and communities in shaping sustainable urban waste management. The issue of waste presents a significant challenge in efforts to enhance environmental quality and public health in urban areas. Well-managed waste not only reduces negative environmental impacts but also creates new economic opportunities. In this context, this research employs a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and observation techniques to examine waste management in Ambon City. In-depth interviews were conducted with informants from the Ambon City Environmental and Waste Management Agency, while document studies were utilized to analyze information related to waste issues in the city. The findings indicate that collaboration between the government and communities is crucial for achieving success in waste management. Ambon City and its residents require joint efforts to address waste issues, particularly due to the low level of public awareness regarding government efforts in waste management. Increased community participation and full government support are necessary to achieve clean, healthy, and sustainable urban environments.

Authors: Wagana Paskas
Published: May 2024

Tanzania is undergoing demographic changes with an increasing number of elderly individuals, the majority of whom live in rural areas and face various social and economic challenges. In recent decades, international social policy has praised social pensions as an effective tool for addressing poverty among the elderly. This article explores how universal social pensions can strengthen family relationships and promote rural development through examples of family solidarity in rural areas of Tanzania. The study analyzes 2012 data from a descriptive cross-sectional survey involving over 900 elderly individuals aged 60 and above in two rural districts in the Mwanza region. This analysis also incorporates findings from the 2019 SAUT Survey, which covered three regions in Tanzania: Arusha, Mtwara, and Mwanza. The results indicate that the family structures in which elderly individuals live exhibit strong intergenerational solidarity. Income from universal social pensions has proven significant in reducing poverty and inequality, as well as enhancing health, nutrition, agriculture, and local markets, all of which contribute to rural development.

Published: May 2024

Coffee, one of Indonesia's largest commodities, is often processed using traditional methods and tools that rely heavily on manual labor and can be labor-intensive. To make the coffee roasting process more efficient and reduce the need for human effort, a coffee roasting machine can be used. This study aimed to analyze coffee roasting drums using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to determine the optimal drum thickness and rotation speed in a coffee roasting machine. The study considered three different thicknesses (1mm, 2mm, and 3mm) and three different rotation speeds (60rpm, 65rpm, and 70rpm). The coffee roasting drum was modeled using CFD. The study's results showed that a drum thickness of 2mm and a rotation speed of 70rpm achieved the best heat distribution during roasting, reaching the desired temperature in 900 seconds. This information could be used to design a more efficient coffee roasting machine or improve the performance of existing machines.

Published: May 2024

The air conditioning system is a significant energy source inskyscrapersfor supplying cool air to all rooms. However, the process has energy losses due to the ducting used. If the problem of energy loss can be solved, the air conditioning system will bring advantages in terms of energy efficiency and financial savings. A pressure drop in air duct pipe installations, such as pipe bends, is one type of energy loss. This research intends to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to investigate the effect of pipe bend angles and velocity relationships on pressure drop in air duct pipe installations, which has previously been validated by experimental research with a 0.17% error percentage. This study focuses on square pipe bends with varying 45o, 60o, and 90o bend angles. The research showed that when testing the highest fluid velocity of 19.68 m/s, the highest pressure drop was 275.69 Pa on the pipe bend angle of 90o, while the lowest pressure drop was 256.41 Pa on the pipe bend angle of 45o. When testing the lowest fluid velocity of 9.77 m/s the highest pressure drop was 67.73 Pa on the pipe bending angle of 90owhile the lowest pressure drop was 62.98 Pa on thepipe bending angle of 45o. The simulation results indicate that the larger pipe bend angle result in a higherpressure drop, and vice versa.

Published: May 2024

Drying is a process of heat and mass transfer that occurs on the surface and within the material to be dried. It helps reduce the internal moisture of the material, inhibiting the growth, damage, and chemical changes of microorganisms during storage, thus extending the shelf life of dry materials and improving the quality of raw materials. This study aims to test multi-level drying equipment using combustion heat with a square shape and racks inside it used as the drying space for the material. The raw material was placed on racks made of perforated metal. This  research started from designing the drying equipment system, fabricating and testing system. The drying system was tested using fish and cocoa beans as sample materials. The tested equipment system included temperature distribution in the combustion chamber, distribution system of hot combustion gases through sharp turning technology, uniform temperature distribution in the drying chamber with 8 levels of racks, each capable of holding a load of 10 kg, and testing of the chimney system. The research findings concluded that to maintain a drying chamber temperature of 90⁰C, an average combustion chamber temperature of 339⁰C was required. The average combustion chamber temperature needed to maintain a drying chamber temperature of 80⁰C was 290⁰C. For a drying chamber temperature of 70⁰C, an average combustion chamber temperature of 314⁰C was required. The temperature distribution inside the drying chamber moves horizontally, indicating that the temperature distribution in the drying chamber was uniform for each drying rack.

Authors: Mallen Cheryl , Chatzigianni Efthalia (Elia)
Published: May 2024

Sport has always been under pressure to change. Fortunately, we can see the pressures coming as emerging technologies are published online. This situation offers an advantage as sport management students can be taught to ponder such technological advancements. No one has the complete right answer(s) today - but we can speculate and begin to prepare sport for the emerging technologies. This paper outlines five (5) advancing technologies and proposes questions for debate on their potential impact on sport. The technologies include: sporting equipment and 4D printing; deep brain stimulation and competition anxiety; block chain management; human driven drones and long distance races; and preparing for races that are higher, faster, and further …. around the moon and back. It is important to begin to prepare so we ‘get it right’ as an example of potentially not getting it right is offered to start the discussion. Insights and debate can aid to devise strategies concerning the way forward in emerging times. This means we have an opportunity to contribute to leading edge education and advance management skills for the future of sport. Significant change is happening – and sport management educators can aid in getting ahead of the issues.

Imágenes para vivir en un planeta dañado. Activismos ecosociales y formas de resistencias en Entre Ríos
Authors: Gutiérrez Laura
Published: May 2024

El trabajo es parte de una investigación mayor de construcción de archivos que recupera las intervenciones callejeras de diferentes colectivos sociales en la ciudad de Paraná. En este artículo, me centraré en las experiencias de los activismos ecosociales que iniciaron tempranamente en la década del 90, tomaron resonancia nacional con el conflicto de la instalación de las pasteras sobre la vera del río Uruguay durante la primera década del 2000 y se expandieron en la última década a partir de la lucha contra el uso de agrotóxicos para la fumigación de campos de la megaproducción. Durante los últimos años, los reclamos se han unido en la resistencia la quema de humedales de todos los territorios de la cuenca del Paraná. Nos interesa indagar los desbordes estético-políticos producidos en las estrategias utilizadas por los activismos en la ocupación del espacio público, así como las alianzas multisectoriales entre distintos colectivos sociales de la ciudad y la provincia que se articularon alrededor de los discursos contra la precariedad de la vida y el ecocidio, e indagaron sobre el buen vivir, el cuidado de la vida y la relevancia de la defensa del territorio.

Published: May 2024

El presente artículo reporta los resultados de una investigación cualitativa de corte inductivo, de una experiencia de educación no formal mediante el arte, realizada en seis sedes universitarias mexicanas. Mediante un proceso de sensibilización artística, que lleva a hacer contacto con las emociones frente a la violencia experimentada y ejercida en el entorno social inmediato, y a reflexionar acerca de las posibilidades para aportar individualmente a construir la paz en los espacios y relaciones cotidianas, los y las participantes llegan a la conclusión de que es posible y necesario realizar cotidianamente prácticas que aporten a la construcción de entornos pacíficos y ayuden a romper los círculos de violencia en cuyo entramado está la violencia psicológica. La experiencia artística y narrativa posibilita la expresión y transformación de sí, la articulación de presente, pasado y futuro, y la construcción de puentes entre lo público y lo privado.
Las performances artístico-religiosas de la festividad de San Baltazar (Corrientes, Capital): características y transformación espacio-temporal
Authors: Cavalieri Ana Belén
Published: May 2024

La festividad de San Baltazar surge en el Virreinato del Río de la Plata (siglo XVII), cuando la Iglesia católica y los grupos de poder ofrecen a esclavizados africanos un permiso para ejecutar músicas y danzas originarias sin ser castigados. Para esto, ellos debían crear cofradías en honor a San Baltazar o San Benito de Palermo.
En 1994, en la ciudad de Corrientes (Argentina) se refundó la cofradía de San Baltazar para homenajearlo de forma pública cada 5 y 6 de enero, en el barrio Camba Cuá ("cueva de negros" en guaraní), convirtiendo el espacio público en escenario de dos performance artístico-religiosas denominadas Saludo a los santos del barrio y Procesión de las antorchas.
Tomando en cuenta lo observado, entrevistado y registrado de forma fotográfica y audiovisualmente entre las ediciones 2016 y 2020, este artículo tiene como objetivo comprender, a partir de la descripción de las performances artístico-religiosas, cómo se transforma de espacio público a espacio sagrado. Y, de esta forma, dar cuenta del rol importante que tienen los tambores y percusionistas para establecer y transformar el espacio-tiempo público/cotidiano a sagrado durante las performances artístico-religiosas.
Exvotos: símbolos artísticos del hacer popular contemporáneo. Disquisiciones sobre la artisticidad de las ofrendas casitas en el santuario Difunta Correa (San Juan, Argentina)
Authors: Cotignola Ana Laura , Belén Paola Sabrina
Published: May 2024

En este artículo se recuperan avances de una investigación en desarrollo que procura indagar sobre el estatuto artístico de una práctica popular, colectiva y contemporánea reconocida como exvoto: un conglomerado de ofrendas –casitas/maquetas– situadas en el santuario Difunta Correa (Vallecito, San Juan). Consideramos que estos objetos populares, en tanto imágenes visuales, merecen la atención y análisis por parte de la historia de las artes visuales. Sin embargo, el abordaje plástico/poético de estas piezas evidencia la carencia y/o limitaciones categoriales contempladas por la teoría estética canónica, por lo que nuestra aproximación implica la revisión crítica de conceptos teóricos consagrados académicamente, la inclusión de posicionamientos estéticos latinoamericanos y la profundización de los límites conceptuales de la reflexión. En tal sentido, el presente escrito se enfoca en el último de los ejes mencionados y analiza el caso desde las teorizaciones elaboradas por el filósofo Nelson Goodman (2010, 1990), que versan sobre los posibles modos de un funcionar artístico.
Memes en la circulación contemporánea de Chaco y Corrientes
Authors: Silva Lotero H. Nicolás
Published: May 2024

Nos acercamos al fenómeno mediático del meme como condensación semiótica compleja y de estatuto aún no consensuado. Proponemos abordarlo con las herramientas teórico-metodológicas que nos proporcionan Carlón y Fraticelli. Asumimos que nos encontramos en la era contemporánea, más allá de la era de los medios masivos. Los memes son un exponente de esta nueva etapa de la mediatización donde individuos y colectivos administran sus propios medios de comunicación. Luego, en forma resumida, expondremos el estado del arte del campo de estudio de los memes y dos consideraciones fundamentales: la influencia clave del arte contemporáneo y las consecuencias de la digitalización de la imagen.
En el segundo apartado avanzamos en el estudio de dos casos: el del ex decano de la Facultad de Humanidades de la Unne, Aldo Lineras (Chaco) y el del gobernador de Corrientes, Gustavo Valdés. Nos valdremos de esquemas temporales para visualizar la circulación de cada meme desde su respectivo origen: un audio de WhatsApp y una entrevista radial. También emplearemos esquemas espaciales para exponer la configuración de los colectivos comunicacionales construidos por los enunciadores fake productores de cada meme a partir de la apropiación del discurso de los individuos profesionales. 
Concluimos que podemos estudiar los memes con herramientas de la semiótica de redes al permitirnos analizar casos con trayectorias disímiles. También al dar cuenta de la composición de los colectivos generados por estos memes, podemos focalizar la dimensión del poder, tanto el de los enunciadores como el de la circulación discursiva.

Los y las jóvenes consideran en su mayoría que tienen un consumo “adictivo” de sus teléfonos celulares: allí juegan, navegan en Internet y en las redes sociales, compran, venden, interactúan y se informan. Los y las jóvenes −a quienes ubicamos para este estudio en el segmento de 18 a 29 años− son el objeto del deseo de las industrias del entretenimiento, la comunicación y la información. Pero el comportamiento que tienen es sinuoso y receloso: desconfían de las noticias, no salen en su búsqueda, sino que las “encuentran” en su navegación y un porcentaje importante las evita, porque las consideran negativas.
En este artículo analizamos el comportamiento de los y las jóvenes en su relación con las noticias, en las redes y en su dispositivo preferido: el móvil. Hacemos un relevamiento de las últimas publicaciones sobre el tema y compartimos los resultados de nuestra propia medición de prácticas de consumo informativo en el Alto Valle de Río Negro y Neuquén, de marzo-abril de 2023.
Mechanism of the electric field effect on the process of grey cast iron inoculation
Authors: Minenko Georgy
Published: May 2024

A diagram of an experimental installation for measuring the electrical resistance of a gray cast iron melt is presented, where a gauge based on a Kelvin double bridge is used. It is shown that the value of the specific electrical resistance of gray cast iron varies depending on the type of conditioning agent. Experimental data on the difference in specific resistivity values for various gray cast iron nucleating agents are presented. Changes in the values of electrical resistance under the influence of electric field treatment of inoculated cast iron melt are also given. Comparison of the strength values of gray cast iron with its values of the electrical resistivity of the cast iron melt after the electrical field exposure showed their simultaneous change. The decrease in the values of the electrical resistance of hot iron due to the electric field exposure is shown and it corresponds to an increment in the strength of inoculated cast iron. The effectiveness of the electric field exposure on the process of inoculation is determined by thermal ionization of the chemical elements included in the conditioning agent. The maximum increase of these parameters after electric field exposure when using FS75 nucleating agent is shown. The mechanism of the influence of an electric field on the cast iron solidification for the inoculation process of FS75, containing 75 % silicon in its composition, is described. The dependence of the efficiency of electric field exposure on the composition of the nucleating agent for gray cast iron is shown. A physical model of the effect of an electric field exposure on the process of cast iron inoculation is found. The possibility of influencing the hydrodynamic situation in the melt of gray cast iron and changing the rate of dissolution of nucleating agent particles by means of electric field exposure is given

Ransomware is a major digital threat on the cybersecurity landscape. Wa aim to introduce a novel GAN-based approach combined with dynamic weight adaptation, to significantly enhance ransomware detection and classification accuracy. The proposed method leverages the generative capabilities of GANs to produce synthetic ransomware samples that closely mimic real behavior, enabling more effective training and improved detection performance. The dynamic weight adaptation mechanism further enhances the model's ability to generalize and adapt to new and evolving ransomware threats, addressing the limitations of traditional static weight assignments. Experimental results demonstrate superior performance compared to traditional machine learning algorithms and contemporary deep learning models, with significant improvements in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The implications of these findings are profound for advancing cybersecurity defenses against ransomware attacks, providing a robust and reliable tool for practitioners in the field. The research highlights the potential for ongoing innovation and improvement in ransomware detection techniques, paving the way for more adaptive and resilient cybersecurity measures.
Increased morality through social communication or decision situation worsens the acceptance of robo-advisors
Authors: Arlinghaus Clarissa Sabrina , Strassmann Carolin , Dix Annika
Published: May 2024

This German study (N = 317) tests social communication (i.e., self-disclosure, content intimacy, relational continuity units, we-phrases) as a potential compensation strategy for algorithm aversion. Therefore, we explore the acceptance of a robot as an advisor in non-moral, somewhat moral, and very moral decision situations and compare the influence of two verbal communication styles of the robot (functional vs. social). Subjects followed the robot’s recommendation similarly often for both communication styles (functional vs. social), but more often in the non-moral decision situation than in the moral decision situations. Subjects perceived the robot as more human and more moral during social communication than during functional communication but similarly trustworthy, likable, and intelligent for both communication styles. In moral decision situations, subjects ascribed more anthropomorphism and morality but less trust, likability, and intelligence to the robot compared to the non-moral decision situation. Subjects perceive the robot as more moral in social communication. This unexpectedly led to subjects following the robot’s recommendation less often. No other mediation effects were found. From this we conclude, that the verbal communication style alone has a rather small influence on the robot’s acceptance as an advisor for moral decision-making and does not reduce algorithm aversion. Potential reasons for this (e.g., multimodality, no visual changes), as well as implications (e.g., avoidance of self-disclosure in human-robot interaction) and limitations (e.g., video interaction) of this study, are discussed.
Reconciling Newton's Religious Causality and Heisenberg's Atheistic Uncertainty. A Paradigm Shift in Physics.
Authors: Vegt Wim
Published: May 2024

The pivotal shift in Physics initiated by Erwin Heisenberg's seminal work in 1925 marked a significant departure from classical paradigms towards what is now known as modern quantum physics. Heisenberg's groundbreaking paper, "On the quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematical and mechanical relationships," commonly referred to as "Die Umdeutung," heralded a radical transformation in the foundation of physics. By replacing the traditional religious notion of "Causality" with an atheistic concept of "Probability," Heisenberg's work revolutionized the field. The removal of "Causality" challenged the religious underpinning of physics, leading to a reevaluation of fundamental principles. This shift, epitomized by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, transformed the deterministic worldview into a probabilistic one, sparking debates on the nature of existence and human agency.The ramifications of this paradigm shift extended beyond theoretical discourse. The ethical implications of scientific advancements, exemplified by the development of the atomic bomb during World War II, underscored the complex interplay between physics, morality, and political ideologies. The juxtaposition of Heisenberg's involvement in Nazi Germany's atomic research and Oppenheimer's leadership in the Manhattan Project highlighted the ethical dilemmas faced by scientists in wartime.Moreover, the integration of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle with Newton's Causality Principle rekindles discussions on the interconnectedness of Physics, Philosophy, and Theology. The quest for a unified framework underscores the importance of reconciling divergent perspectives to forge a coherent understanding of the universe. This synthesis seeks to bridge the gap between classical paradigms and modern quantum theory, offering new insights into the intertwined fabric of physical laws and metaphysical beliefs.
Transport-induced gentrification in Latin America: An urban conflict arising from accessibility improvements
Authors: de Assis Rebeca Froés , Loureiro Carlos Felipe Grangeiro , Freitas Clarissa , Timms Paul
Published: May 2024

Through cross-sectional analysis, studies on transport-induced gentrification often interpret the phenomenon as an outcome instead of recognizing it as a set of intertwined processes. Consequently, limited insights are provided about the mechanisms underlying gentrification, which manifests gradually over the long-term interactions between transportation and urban development, primally driven by accessibility improvements. The absence of descriptive efforts poses a challenge for policymakers to predict or identify gentrification occurrence, besides inducing biased outcomes in investigations. This paper aims to provide researchers and policymakers with a conceptual framework of transport-induced gentrification, systematising explanations of space production and consumption in Latin-American metropolises. Firstly, we have undergone a theoretical review on land-use and transport interactions to develop an a priori conceptual framework. Subsequently, we applied a systematic literature review on empirical studies of Latin-American gentrification to incorporate some particularities into the framework, representing the phenomenon as an urban conflict generated in and through accessibility improvements.
String Vector based AHC Algorithm for Clustering Words Semantically
Authors: Jo Taeho
Published: May 2024

This article proposes the modified AHC (Agglomerative HierarchicalClustering) algorithm which clusters string vectors, instead ofnumerical vectors, as the approach to the word clustering. Theresults from applying the string vector based algorithms to the textclustering were successful in previous works and synergy effectbetween the text clustering and the word clustering is expected bycombining them with each other; the two facts become motivations forthis research. In this research, we define the operation on stringvectors called semantic similarity, and modify the AHC algorithm byadopting the proposed similarity metric as the approach to the wordclustering. The proposed AHC algorithm is empirically validated asthe better approach in clustering words in news articles andopinions. We need to define and characterize mathematically moreoperations on string vectors for modifying more advanced machinelearning algorithms.
Analyzing the Financial Performance of Commercial Banks in India: Camel Model on YES Bank & SBI And Lakshmi Vilas Bank & DBS Bank India Ltd.
Authors: Bansal Reena Rani , Singh N. P.
Published: May 2024

A bank plays an important role in maintaining the economical condition of the country. Sound financial position of a bank is the guarantee not only to its depositors but is equally significant for shareholders, employees and whole economy as well. This study analyzes the financial performance of YES Bank & SBI, Lakshmi Vilas Bank (LVB) & DBS Bank India Ltd (DBIL) for the period of 2009 – 2020 by using CAMEL Model. The findings of this research reveal that net NPA (Non Performing Assets) and more advances are the major reasons for YES bank crisis. YES bank performs well up to 2017 but after that it begins to fall in terms of interest income, net profits etc., in 2020 its profit shows negative value. On the other hand, bad loans and capital inadequacy are the major reasons for failure of Lakshmi Vilas Bank (LVB) as its NPA and Advances increased excessively during the period of study.
Tone Superimposition Technique in Speech Sciences: A Tutorial
Authors: Wang Xin , Jheng Jheyu , McMurray Bob
Published: May 2024

In the literature, we encounter papers reporting manipulating pitch contours in speech tokens for a specific problem to be addressed in experiments (e.g., learning pitch patterns superimposed onto a pseudo-syllable), usually in the field of Speech Perception and Spoken Word Recognition. This type of research often tests listeners’ perceptual and processing skills in tonal languages (e.g., Mandarin, Thai, etc.), and requires superimposing a pitch contour onto a spoken syllable. However, very few studies reported how this critical manipulation was done to meet specific experimental needs. In addition, there was neither specific guideline or description of the techniques being used, nor how 'natural' these manipulated tokens sounded in a particular language upon speech synthesis. Because this technique is crucial in establishing the conclusions in various studies, here, we will demonstrate our method of establishing this technique of tone superimposition (i.e., lexical tones in Mandarin) onto English syllables. In line with the open science model, we will also show our stimuli and procedures via OSF for readers to evaluate the validity of this technique. Manipulating the pitch contour in a spoken syllable can be complicated and change the perception of the spoken syllable in a significant way. Thus, we will also show the important factors to be considered in this process for doing research in Speech Sciences.
Gamification for Learning English as a Second Language in Sri Lanka
Authors: Malintha Chamod , Gunawardhana L. K. Pulasthi Dhananjaya
Published: May 2024

Despite the global importance of English proficiency, Sri Lankan students often struggle with mastering the language, as reflected in the country's unsatisfactory ranking in the English Proficiency Index (EPI). The traditional classroom-based teaching methods in Sri Lanka have not effectively addressed these challenges, necessitating innovative approaches to language learning. Gamification, the integration of gaming elements into non-game environments, has shown promising outcomes in enhancing learning motivation and academic performance, particularly in developed nations. However, its application within the Sri Lankan educational context remains limited. This study examines the potential of gamification in learning English as a second language (LESL) in Sri Lanka and identifies factors favourable to its integration into the education system. Key factors include the growing technological infrastructure, high internet penetration, and positive attitudes towards technology among students and teachers. By applying gamification to the educational context, Sri Lanka can revolutionise its language acquisition strategies, bridging the proficiency gap and creating a more engaging and effective learning environment essential for success in today's globalised world.
Applying Table based AHC Algorithm to Semantic Word Clustering
Authors: Jo Taeho
Published: May 2024

This article proposes the modified AHC (Agglomerative HierarchicalClustering) algorithm which clusters tables, instead of numericalvectors, as the approach to the word clustering. The motivations ofthis research are the successful results from applying the tablebased algorithms to the text clustering tasks in previous works andthe expectation of synergy effect between the text clustering andthe word clustering. In this research, we define the similaritymetric between tables representing words, and modify the AHCalgorithm by adopting the proposed similarity metric as the approachto the word clustering. The proposed AHC algorithm is empiricallyvalidated as the better approach in clustering words in newsarticles and opinions. In using the table based AHC algorithm, it iseasier to trace results from clustering words.
