Authors: Ramadhani Argia Putri , Tami Nanda Putri , Lestari Asih , Erkamim Moh
Published: September 2024

The rapid development of digitalization has a significant impact on data and information protection. One approach to protecting data and information is through the use of cryptography. The research aims to combine the use of Vigenere and Hill Cipher algorithms in modeling to maintain the security and confidentiality of digital messages. The focus of this research is on the process of encrypting digital text messages. The layered security in this study takes advantage of the advantages of each algorithm. The combination of the two is designed to increase the complexity of encryption and reduce vulnerability to cryptanalytic attacks. The encryption process starts with using Vigenere Cipher for initial message encrypting, then the results are re-encrypted using Hill Cipher. Research shows that this layered security model can improve data security and make it more difficult for uninterested parties to decipher it. The combination of Vigenere's and Hill Cipher's algorithms could be one of the layered security alternatives to digital message encryption in an effort to protect information and data from security threats in the digital age.

Authors: Hidayah Nurul , Santi Indyah Hartami , Primasari Yusniarsi
Published: September 2024

The Hidayatullah Foundation is an Al-Qur'an-based school that has a tahfidz Al-Qur'an program that is taught every day to students. By holding the Tahfidz competition, it is hoped that it can provide motivation to students to increase their enthusiasm for memorizing the Al-Qur'an. However, so far the selection system that has been carried out by the school still uses manual methods by estimating students who are deemed capable without thorough calculations being carried out. So the selection of students is felt to be unfair and there is no opportunity for other students to take part in the competition. The application of the decision support system uses the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method with the results of the grades and ranking of the best students in the Tahfidz program which is carried out through a system calculation process with the first rank with alternative A10 getting a result of 0.996342132 named Alicia from class 3. The test results using the confusion matrix show the value accuracy of 96.9% which indicates a high level of accuracy. It was concluded that the SAW method could be used to select students to take part in competitions.

Authors: Faishol Faishol , Andoko Andoko , Suryanto Heru , Prasetya Riduwan
Published: September 2024

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are nano-sized carbon that resembles tubes and has the potential to be used in various aspects of applications. Some of  the CNT carbon capture  methods include arc discharge, lasser ablation, CVD and electrodeposition. The advantage of the electrodeposition method is that the production cost is cheap and the preparation is easy. Electrodeposition is the precipitation of substances by using a direct electric current, with CO2 as the reactant. Factors that affect the growth rate of CNT are voltage, temperature, carbon source, electrode and time. The variation of the electorative time used was 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes, 150 minutes, 180 minutes. The data collection process begins by shaping and measuring the weight of the electrode (Ni) with a diameter of 2 cm CNT deposition area. measuring the weight and melting Li2CO3 at a temperature of 750. then the CO2 flow rate setting, voltage setting  5V and time setting were then characterized by SEM-EDX and XRD. The results of the study showed that the optimal time obtained with a time of 120 minutes, the resulting CNT deposition rate was 1,618 g cm-2 h-1. Then based on the characterization of XRD and SEM, it shows that the longer the electrodeposition time, the less impurities are contained in the results obtained.

Authors: Santosa Salindra Sakti Putra , Mashudi Imam
Published: September 2024

Machining process is an important part of manufacturing to form and finish high-precision components. Milling is a commonly used technique, and the advancement of CNC technology has enabled precise and consistent production. This study evaluated the effect of spindle speed and depth of cut on the surface parallelism (µm) of aluminum 6061 using a TU-3A retrofit CNC milling machine. A quantitative experimental method with factorial design of experiments (DOE) was applied, testing spindle speeds of 600 RPM, 800 RPM, and 1000 RPM and depths of cut of 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm, while maintaining constant feed rates of 48 mm/min, 64 mm/min, and 80 mm/min. The results showed that spindle speed had no significant impact on surface parallelism (µm) (P-value = 0.924), although higher speeds showed a trend of better results. In contrast, depth of cut significantly affects parallelism (µm) (P-value = 0.000), with greater depth improving surface quality (µm). In addition, the interaction between spindle speed and depth of cut is also significant (P-value = 0.002), indicating that the combination of higher spindle speed with lower depth of cut produces better results. These findings suggest optimal machining parameters to improve surface parallelism (µm) in aluminum milling operations.

THE ACTIVITIES OF FOOD DETACHMENTS AND THE FOOD ARMY IN THE SARATOV PROVINCE IN 1918
Authors: Mikhailov V.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to investigate the causes, the legal basis of the activities of Food Detachments and Food armies, as well as the tasks assigned to them to seize surplus grain in villages. The scientific novelty of the study is the insufficient knowledge of the activities of Food Detachments and Food armies in the Saratov province. The study uses the main methods of scientific and historical cognition, such as: descriptive, comparative historical, logical, analysis of archival materials. As a result of the study, it was revealed that in 1918, the cities under the control of the Soviet government were threatened with famine, despite the fact that there was bread in the agricultural provinces. But the peasants did not willingly hand it over, due to the unsettled system of commodity exchange between the village and the city. Based on this circumstance, the Soviet government decided to forcibly withdraw bread from the villages. The solution of this issue was entrusted to the workers of the Food Detachments and the Red Army soldiers of the Food Army, however, despite the common tasks, their activities were distinguished by the fact that the Food detachments took part of the harvested bread for themselves, and the Soldiers handed over everything to the state.

Wholesale and retail trade is considered as one of the essential activities contributing to the domestic product, labour force and linkage between producers and consumers. The main objective of the study is to assess the status of input cost, gross output, gross value added of wholesale and retail trade in Bangladesh during the period of COVID-19 pandemic and also compare the volatility between wholesale and retail trade. The secondary data of wholesale and retail trade survey-2021 with 15,258 establishment have been collected from Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). Both the quantitative and qualitative methods were applied in this study. Scenario analysis was employed to find the current status of input cost, gross output, gross value added of wholesale and retail trade in Bangladesh. The study reveals that industrial cost was increased due to several constraints, including market issues, high labour costs, transportation issues, and logistical shortcomings. The findings of the volatility between wholesale and retail trade represent that retail businesses have more flexibility in expenses, while wholesale enterprises often have more output and value added. Finally, it has been found that gross output significantly depends on gross value addition, whereas COVID-19 affects all scenarios. The findings of this study would be helpful for the planners and policy makers of the trade sectors to take appropriate policies regarding wholesale and retail trade in Bangladesh.

Published: September 2024

Happiness could also be learned from the outside because the schemas of our brains are customized for positive connections with happiness and others (Celestine, 2022). Therefore, the present study explored the effect of concept mapping strategy on the happiness level of IX-grade social-science students of the U.P. board school. The researcher employed the Quasi-Experimental Method of research with a Pretest-Posttest Randomized Experimental Design. The study utilized a sample of 66 students through purposive sampling and a standardized Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) developed by Hills and Argyle (2002) was employed to assess the happiness level. The experimental group was taught using developed instructional material on concept mapping strategy and the control group was through lecture-cum-demonstration method. The Independent Samples t-Test revealed a significant effect of the concept mapping strategy on the happiness level of the secondary-level students. It could be inferred that the concept mapping strategy is much superior to the lecture-cum-demonstration method for ensuring significantly improved happiness level of secondary-level students of social-science subject. This research suggests that using concept mapping teaching strategy with the use of introductory videos could help students feel happier, which would ultimately improve their overall academic performance.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE INFLUENCE OF FAKE NEWS DETECTION BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Authors: T. Shyam Swaroop
Published: September 2024

Social media platforms have become the primary medium for news consumption, offering vast amounts of real-time information. However, the proliferation of fake news across these platforms poses significant risks, including societal misinformation, political manipulation, and erosion of public trust. Traditional methods of combating fake news, such as manual fact-checking, have proven insufficient in curbing its spread due to the sheer volume of data and the speed at which misinformation can go viral. To address this challenge, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in detecting fake news. Leveraging techniques such as natural language processing (NLP), machine learning algorithms, and deep learning, AI systems can analyze and flag deceptive content more efficiently than human-based efforts. This paper explores the influence of AI in identifying and mitigating fake news on social media platforms. It delves into how AI-driven fake news detection models work, examining the use of both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. Additionally, the paper discusses the impact of these AI systems on user behavior, credibility assessment, and trust in social media platforms. However, while AI has shown significant promise, challenges such as algorithmic bias, ethical concerns, and the potential for misuse remain critical areas for future development. The integration of AI in fake news detection is reshaping the digital information landscape, offering both opportunities and risks for enhancing the quality of online discourse.

Phytoplankton is an important component in aquatic ecosystems. Apart from producing oxygen, phytoplankton also act as primary producers in the food chain. Bali Sardinella (Lemuru) is an important fishery commodity in the Bali Strait, which is known to eat plankton (Plankton Feeder), so its existence depends on the distribution of plankton. This descriptive research aims to determine the community structure, abundance and ecological index of phytoplankton in the coastal waters of Jembrana Regency. Sampling was conducted in July 2023 at five observation stations in the coastal waters of Jembrana Regency (Pengambengan Beach, Perancak Beach and Delod Berawah Beach). Around 250 litres of seawater was filtered by a plankton net measuring 35 mm. The filtered samples collected in a 100 ml collecting bottle were then transferred to a 120 ml sample bottle and preserved in 4% formalin. The samples obtained were taken to the laboratory for observation under a microscope. This research shows that 66 types of phytoplankton were found to belong to 5 classes in the waters of Jembrana, Bali. The Bacillariophyceae class were found with the highest number of species (44 species), followed by the Dinophyceae (19 species), Chlorophyceae (1 species), Cryptophyceae (1 species), and Cyanophyceae (1 species). Based on the results of calculating phytoplankton abundance, various abundance values ​​were obtained at each observation station. Station 2 has the highest abundance of phytoplankton with 297 individuals/l followed by Station 1 (221 individuals/l), Station 4 (130 individuals/l), Station 3 (127 individuals/l), and Station 5 (36 individuals/l). The species Diversity Index (H') ranges from 2.61 - 2.83, the Dominance Index (C) ranges from 0.07 - 0.13, and the Evenness Index (e) ranges from 0.72 - 0.95. The ecological index value shows that the phytoplankton community in Jembrana coastal waters included in the moderate diversity category is not dominant and evenly distributed. The ecological index value shows that the water quality is categorized as moderately polluted.

It was proposed to determine the response of chemical fertilization in the production of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) six years old in the area of Rio Negro Shambillo Padre Abad in order to have a sustainable and economic alternative of chemical fertilization in the field stage, which contributes to the survival of the palm and provides the necessary resistance against pests and diseases. A completely randomized block design (DBCA) was used with four repetitions and treatments, 96 plants / UE / treatment were used, the spacing was 9x9 in rows and plants. Results obtained indicate the treatments; T3 and T2 (16,54 – 15,48 kg / plant) obtained the highest averages by bunch weight, T1 and T3 (17,48 – 15,42 fruits / bunch) obtained the highest averages regarding number of fruit / bunch, T1 and T3 (13,93 – 11,59 to 45 cm ) obtained the highest averages for bunch length, T1 and T3 (7,33 – 5,52 cm) obtained the highest averages regarding fruit length, T1 and T3 (11.37 – 9.54 g) obtained the highest averages regarding fruit weight, T1 and T3 (10,46 – 10,37 kg) obtained the highest averages to yield per plant. The addition of chemical fertilizers or organic amendments increases the weight of the oil palm bunch, consequently the production in soils with medium, low fertility; chemical fertilization influences the number of clusters of oil palm produced on a given surface, any dose is used as an alternative to phosphorous fertilization in oil palm with a direct relationship between plant height and root length.
Effectiveness of Intercostal Stretch Technique on Pulmonary Conditions: A Narrative Review
Authors: Kamrun Nahar Chowdhury
Published: September 2024

Background: The Intercostal Stretch Technique is one of the physiotherapy techniques that is used to solve different respiratory problems. It is used for increasing chest expansion and diaphragm excursion improvement and also intra-thoracic lung volume. Aim: The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the intercostal stretch technique. Methodology: A narrative review. In this study, an RCT study was used to review the intervention. Results: Several articles are used to discuss the effectiveness of the intercostal stretch technique. In stable COPD, diaphragmatic breathing and the intercostal stretch technique both work equally well to improve chest expansion and functional capacity while lowering dyspnea. Research has shown that IC stretch outperforms the anterior basal lift technique in lowering heart and respiratory rates while increasing oxygen saturation. According to this study, IC stretching in conjunction with breathing control may improve dynamic lung parameters, particularly FEV1/FVC%, more than breathing control alone. Patients with COPD have an increased functional exercise capacity and reduced dyspnea when aerobic training and respiratory muscle stretching are combined. Conclusion: Different articles demonstrated that IC stretch improved lung function, expired tidal volume, decreased dyspnea, and increased chest expansion.

The Making of "Jew Clubs"
Authors: Brunssen Pavel
Published: September 2024

Take a deep dive into four European football clubs that are widely known as '"Jew Clubs."' Though none of these football clubs are explicitly Jewish, learn how they have become arenas for negotiating ideas about Jewishness and antisemitism in contemporary European society. In The Making of "Jew Clubs", author Pavel Brunssen uses FC Bayern Munich, Austria Vienna, Ajax Amsterdam, and Tottenham Hotspur as case studies to investigate how post-Holocaust, European societies engage with the Jewish community and how Jews navigate their identities within them. Using an array of primary sources, he argues that football is a contested space for shared memory cultures and collective identities.The Making of "Jew Clubs" is an indispensable read for anyone interested in European football, cultural studies, Jewish history, memory cultures, and the evolving dynamics of antisemitism in contemporary European societies.

Homonymy of words belonging to different parts of speech: the activity-based approach to studying the topic at school
Authors: Volodko N. V. , Saltykova A. A. , Yanovskaya K. V.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the homonymy of words of different parts of speech in the context of teaching orthography to schoolchildren. This phenomenon requires special attention because, firstly, it underlies the understanding of morphology as a branch of linguistics. Secondly, homonymy is one of the causes of spelling errors which are difficult to avoid. Thirdly, understanding the nature of this phenomenon facilitates the perception of language as a system. The paper discusses the activity-based approach to learning the Russian language. Within its framework, no ready-made rules are imposed on schoolchildren. Instead, they are given problems. Solving them contributes to the development of students’ critical thinking, as well as a deeper understanding and appropriation of independently discovered knowledge. On the one hand, the study is based on the examination of linguistic units, on the other – on the analysis of students’ activity when solving orthographic problems. Based on the experience of using the Elkonin-Davydov developmental education system, we propose a tentative structure of a lesson included in the system of lessons on the topic Homonymy of words of different parts of speech. The article also describes individual assignments which are of a research nature and contribute to the development of a few competencies that transform a schoolchild from a recipient of information into a student-researcher. The element common to these lessons is an increasingly complex algorithm for distinguishing homonyms which belong to different parts of speech and are characterised by differences in spelling. The key con[1]clusions of the study reflected in the article include a description of the activity-based approach principles in relation to the study of grammatical homonymy. Motivation built on a "success situation" and a "gap situation", the use of quasi-research techniques, reliance on an algorithm for solving problems, and step-by-step practicing of each algorithm opera[1]tion are among these principles.
Difficult cases of punctuation in the tasks of the All-Russian Olympiad of schoolchildren in the Russian language
Authors: Melnikova E. M.
Published: September 2024

The article examines those All-Russian Olympiad assignments in the Russian language that include questions on punctuation. It is noted that punctuation as a separate section is not included in the methodological recommendations for compiling Olympiad assignments. There are several reasons accounting for the small number of punctuation Olympiad tasks. Firstly, modern Russian punctuation is variable. Thus, the use of one or another punctuation mark can be determined not only by the main structural-grammatical principle of punctuation, but by the semantic and intonation ones as well. Secondly, the absence of unified prescriptive rules leads to discrepancies in the explanation of a particular punctuation case. Nevertheless, assignments on difficult cases of punctuation are appropriate in the Russian language Olympiad since they are the type of research tasks that form textual analysis skills in the aspect of the norm variation processes.
Comparative analysis of Russian language textbooks for primary school using quantitative methods
Authors: Laposhina A. N. , Lebedeva M. Yu.
Published: September 2024

Despite the intense scientific and practical interest in assessing the textual content quality of a school textbook, there is still no transparent algorithm and objective criteria for such evaluation. This article aims to outline objective linguistic criteria for textbook text assessment using quantitative methods on the example of one of the main components of a Russian language textbook, i. e. exercise texts. The analysis was performed on the material of 8 lines of modern Russian language textbooks for primary school and 1 line of the digital educational service Yandex Textbook. The research employed the methods of automatic natural language processing, statistics, and corpus analysis of texts. As a result, we propose an algorithm for analysing the text library of a Russian language textbook according to the criteria of structural and lexical complexity, genre, stylistic and thematic diversity, and the degree of correspondence between the text library and the current state of the Russian language. The obtained results form an idea of the textual content of a modern Russian language textbook for primary school. Moreover, they highlight the specific features of text selection for modern traditional and digital Russian language textbooks and resources. Finally, the research outcomes raise questions concerning the methodological optimality of certain authorial decisions when compiling the text library of a textbook.

Authors: Binshtein M. M. , Samylicheva N. A.
Published: September 2024

This paper considers the specific features of the functioning of pronouns in political discourse. We analyse their role in the speech of the presenters and guests of the "60 Minutes" talk show. It belongs to the television discussion genre whose function is to form a collective political world picture by projecting and broadcasting certain images and meanings. The relevance of the research is due to the need not only for studying communication strategies and tactics in political actors’ speech, but also for analysing the impact of linguistic means on public opinion formation and transformation. Considering pronouns in the functional aspect enables us to identify the characteristic features that make pronouns one of the most effective means of speech influence (persuasion). Possessing manipulative potential, words of this morphological class can participate in the implementation of numerous communicative strategies and tactics, including the upward and downward strategies, the tactics of self-presentation, cooperation, impersonal accusation, discrediting, and the "us–them" opposition. The research uses discourse analysis, interpretation and contextual analysis techniques, and the communicative-pragmatic approach. As the obtained data show, pronouns can be employed to impose certain beliefs and opinions, to enhance the sense of unity and solidarity between the speaker and the audience, to shift the emphasis in the event under discussion. Moreover, they also prove to be a significant characteristic of politicians, reflecting their worldview.

La disponibilidad limitada de agua impone un gran desafío para las plantas en ambientes áridos y semiáridos, que cubren dos tercios del territorio argentino. El objetivo de este estudio fue cuantificar los efectos de distintos regímenes hídricos (precipitación natural versus riego) sobre parámetros de crecimiento y producción aéreos y subterráneos de dos especies de gramíneas perennes nativas, de ciclo invernal: Nassella longiglumis y Amelichloa ambigua. Se obtuvieron plántulas desde semilla que crecieron en bolsas conteniendo suelo tamizado (n=6). Durante dos temporadas de crecimiento, se compararon plantas con riego suplementario (200 mm) y plantas control (precipitación natural). Las plantas se cosecharon en tres fases fenológicas clave: vegetativa, reproductiva y dormante. En cada planta se determinaron: área basal, producción de macollas, altura, biomasa aérea y subterránea, densidad de longitud de raíces y características detalladas de una raíz adventicia completa (longitud, ancho y número de raíces laterales). Se emplearon imágenes escaneadas y procesadas mediante un software especializado en el análisis de imágenes de raíces. Las diferencias observadas entre las especies reflejan estrategias de supervivencia contrastantes. Las plantas control de N. longiglumis presentaron raíces adventicias más largas y finas y mayor densidad de longitud que las irrigadas y que plantas de A. ambigua. Esta última fue menos sensible al riego. La biomasa subterránea varió con la irrigación durante el ciclo, sin diferencias entre especies. A diferencia de N. longiglumis, A. ambigua mostró mayor desarrollo vegetativo, con más área basal y macollas, resultando en mayor biomasa aérea. En cambio N. longiglumis priorizó su ciclo reproductivo. Ambas especies tuvieron mayor biomasa aérea bajo riego. En conclusión, N. longiglumis, la especie más competitiva, exhibió adaptaciones en su sistema radical para la adquisición de agua, manteniendo su crecimiento aéreo y esfuerzo reproductivo incluso bajo restricción hídrica. Estos rasgos posiblemente contribuyan a la dominancia de N. longiglumis en estos pastizales.

Authors: Dheerender Thakur
Published: September 2024

Integrating Generative AI into Cloud-based ML pipelines is a revolutionary way of improving data augmentation and model improvement. Realistic synthetic data has been more accessible to generate through Generative models such as GANs and VAE because of their ability to generate synthetic data with higher quality and variability than traditional generative models. In this paper, I will discuss the adoptions that have been made utilizing generative AI in enhancing the data augmentation process and making robust models together with handling factors such as data bias and computational demands. It also explains future trends and directions, such as real-time generative AI, edge computing, and AI ethical practices. By tackling these difficulties and using the possibilities of generative AI, it is possible to improve the efficacy, the possibility of scale, and flexibility of technological systems of machine learning and create a more effective alliance between artificial intelligence and industries.

The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution value of physical and chemical factors that affect salt pond land. We employed a method to assess the current state of salt ponds in coastal regions. We conducted this study in Palang District, Tuban Regency, from May 1 to June 1, 2024. This research method involves various methods, including remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS), to map and analyze land conditions. We will use data from satellite imagery and field measurements to evaluate the physical and chemical parameters for the development of salt ponds. Based on the research data, we have established that the physical and chemical parameters of salt pond land on the coast of Palang District, such as salt table height, seeding place, main embankment, intermediate embankment, pH, and pond bottom, are in good condition and meet the requirements for salt pond land development. In conclusion, the chemical parameters show that the quality of water and soil in salt ponds is still within acceptable limits, although there are several locations that show values approaching the standard quality threshold. We recommend implementing sustainable management practices in the development of salt ponds, which include periodic monitoring of physical and chemical parameters, further research on the impacts of climate change, and collaboration between government, academics, and communities in managing sustainable salt ponds and formulating policies that support the development of the salt industry in coastal areas.
