Authors: Hatoguan Hutahaean Erik Saut , Pertiwi Yuarini Wahyu , Thamrin Djuni
Published: December 2023

The phenomenon of santri students in Indonesia encompasses various aspects that reflect the influence of pesantren education and Islamic values on their experiences and identities in the university environment. Santri students in Indonesia, like students in general, may also encounter various challenges during their university studies. However, there are some issues that are more commonly experienced by santri students, particularly related to their educational backgrounds in pesantren and their religious experiences. A total of 186 santri students were involved in filling out questionnaires measuring academic commitment, the application of coercive power, the imposition of sanctions, and compliance. Based on mediation analysis, the results indicate that the application of coercive power and the imposition of sanctions can serve as appropriate mediators in bridging the influence of academic commitment to compliance. Compliance among santri students is not solely a result of their academic commitment because the level of compliance can be shaped by the university's application of coercive power and the imposition of sanctions for students who violate rules.

An Investigation of University Students' Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Levels in Terms of Different Variables
Authors: Sözen Erol , Genç Murat
Published: December 2023

Earthquakes have a significant impact on social, economic, and educational aspects of life. The negative effects of earthquakes on education and training are well documented. It is crucial to be adequately prepared to minimize these effects. This study aims to investigate the earthquake awareness of university students from a sustainable perspective. The survey model, a quantitative research method, was employed in this study. The research study comprised of 200 male (36.10%) and 354 female (63.90%) students who voluntarily participated from a university in the Western Black Sea Region during the 2022-2023 academic year. The Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Scale results show an average of 3.23 (Undecided) for the first factor, Earthquake Structure Relationship, 2.32 (Disagree) for the second factor, Earthquake Preparation Application, and 2.27 (Disagree) for the third factor, Earthquake Preparedness. The overall mean of the scale was 2.61 (Undecided). The results indicate that university students are not adequately prepared for possible earthquakes. There is no significant difference in Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Levels between male and female university students in all sub-factors and the total scale. Furthermore, as the grade level of university students increases, their sustainable earthquake awareness also increases. Furthermore, there is a notable contrast in the earthquake awareness levels of students from the faculties of engineering, health, and theology, with engineering students exhibiting a higher level of awareness. The study found no statistically significant difference between the sustainable earthquake awareness levels of university students and the number of floors in the building where they reside, both in terms of sub-factors and the overall scale.
A new routing method based on ant colony optimization in vehicular ad-hoc network
Authors: Sbayti Oussama , Housni Khalid
Published: December 2023

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) face significant challenges in providing high-quality service. These networks enable vehicles to exchange critical information, such as road obstacles and accidents, and support various communication modes known as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X). This research paper proposes an intelligent method to improve the quality of service by optimizing path selection between vehicles, aiming to minimize network overhead and enhance routing efficiency. The proposed approach integrates Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) into the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol. The effectiveness of this method is validated through implementation and simulation experiments conducted using the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) and the network simulator (NS3). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the traditional OLSR algorithm in terms of throughput, average packet delivery rate (PDR), end-to-end delay (E2ED), and average routing overhead.

Published: December 2023

The latest book by Piotr Oczko, Pocztówka z Mokum. 21 opowieści o Holandii (Postcard from Mokum, 21 stories about Holland) is a very intriguing and very personal view of the Netherlands. This view, presented in 21 essays, shows a wealth of cultural layers in the past and in modern society: from art and poetry of the Golden Age, through architecture to homosexuality. In his book, Oczko also presents his personal view of the Polish society A.D. 2021, and expresses his ‘discomfort’ about it (to use the words of Marieke Lucas Rijneveld). Oczko’s Pocztówka... is not an ‘everyday’ book. Still, it is definitely worth reading.

Authors: Gőcze Borbála
Published: December 2023

This article deals with the variation of diminutive forms in contemporary standard Dutch. Various aspects of the Dutch diminutive are well-documented in the literature. However, there is a distinct lack of empirical research in connection with the variation of the diminutive forms. The article provides a brief overview of diminutive formation in Dutch as well as an account of a corpus-based study examining a group of words that exhibit variation in their diminutive forms in contemporary standard Dutch, namely monosyllabic words ending in either a non-coronal stop or a velar fricative preceded by a short vowel. The goal of the study is to provide insight on the behaviour of the diminutive forms of these stems.
The contributions of Idzi Radziszewski, Gommar Michiels and Stefan Wyszyński to research in Dutch Studies at the Catholic University of Lublin in the light of the university’s contacts with the Low Countries (1918–1939)
Authors: Polkowski Marcin
Published: December 2023

In 1918 a Catholic university (KUL) was founded in the Polish city of Lublin. Idzi Radziszewski (1871–1922), a graduate of the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven), became the first rector of KUL. The connection with KU Leuven is an important part of the founding narrative of this Polish university. But what about Dutch studies – were they pursued before 1977 (the official beginning of Dutch studies at KUL)? The aim of this article is twofold. First, it examines the extent of the Polish-Dutch and Polish-Flemish academic exchanges between 1918 and 1939, focusing on Polish graduates of Belgian universities working at KUL, KUL scholars visiting Belgium and the Netherlands and Flemish and Dutch scholars employed at KUL. Subsequently, the relationship of the earliest products of the scholarly activities of the leading members of the academic community at KUL with Dutch studies will be assessed: Idzi Radziszewski’s Wszechnica katolicka w Lowanium [The Catholic University in Leuven, 1908], “Ruch flamandzki” [“The Flemish Movement”, 1923] by Gommar Michiels OFMCap and future cardinal and primate of Poland Stefan Wyszyński’s Główne typy akcji katolickiej za granicą [The Main Types of Catholic Action Abroad, 1931]. Of these, Michiels’ article is the most significant monographic contribution to the field of Dutch studies. However, the other two are important works in which the objects of Dutch studies are presented in an interdisciplinary context.

Published: December 2023

The extracts from the leaves of Deschampsia antarctica É. Desv., Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz, and Camellia japonica L. plants, as well as from defatted Camelina sativa and Silybum marianum seedcakes were investigated as potential additives for improvement of biodiesel stability against oxidation. Composition of the extracts was studied by means of HPLC, and antioxidant properties were evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay and the DPPH test. The oxidation of biodiesel was monitored during the accelerated procedure at 43C, with the changes in the acid number of biodiesel samples being the criteria of this process. In spite of significant distinctions in the content of various phenolic compounds, all the extracts were found to possess high antioxidant activity and decelerate biodiesel oxidation by 9-26%. The data did not reveal a directly proportional relationship between the antioxidants content in the extract, on the one hand, and the enhancement in biodiesel stability, on the other hand; various extracts had different influence on the behaviour of biodiesel from rape and Camelina seed oils. The results obtained are consistent with the assumption that there is no universal stabilizer for different types of biodiesel and indicate the prospects on searching for novel antioxidants of natural origin to inhibit oxidative processes.

A method of secure network traffic routing based on specified criterias
Authors: Nazarevych Valerii , Mykytiuk Artem , Shevchuk Olha , Kulyk Ihor
Published: December 2023

Due to the implementation of new network services, the increase amount of data that need to be transmitted, and the use of networks in various sectors with diverse communication requirements, there is a need to develop new approaches to ensure the quality of such communications. Leading network equipment manufacturers and standardization organizations are developing new routing algorithms, resulting in the introduction of new routing protocols or improvements to existing ones. However, all these algorithms cover routing principles for general-purpose networks and do not consider the communication requirements of specialized networks. Therefore, the task arises to research optimization directions for network traffic routing, define optimization criteria, and further develop a method for secure network traffic routing based on the specified criteria. In this work, a routing method is proposed that takes into account the defined requirements when searching for the optimal route. In the case of dynamic routing, each router calculates the shortest routes to all other networks based on the shortest path search algorithm. This work defines a method for calculating metrics based on specified criteria and formally describes the algorithm for finding the shortest path. Quality of communication criteria is introduced, which will enable meeting communication requirements in specialized networks. Calculation methods for these criteria are demonstrated, and data collection methods for the calculation of specified criteria are determined. A formula for calculating metrics is proposed, which includes the possibility of selecting T-values and determining their numerical parameters to prioritize specific criteria. Default values for criteria are defined, and metric calculations are tested by default for different types of interfaces. After calculating metrics, the task reduces to finding the shortest paths in a weighted graph using an algorithm based on Dijkstra's algorithm. The proposed algorithm for finding the shortest path involves identifying the primary (shortest) and backup paths from a given source vertex to all other graph vertices. A formal description of the proposed algorithm is provided.
Model of four cyber attack information environments
Authors: Yakoviv Ihor
Published: December 2023

The basis of the functioning of the modern cyber defense infrastructure of the corporate IT system is the procedure of comparing current events in the computer environment with the security event indicator. If the indicator matches the corresponding event, security information about this event is generated and transmitted to the SIEM for analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, a decision is made about the existence of a cyber security incident. At the next stage, a decision is made and implemented, which restores the state of cyber security. A mandatory condition for the effective cyber defense infrastructure is the availability of knowledge about possible cyber threats and relevant signs (indicators) of security events at the technical level of computer systems. Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is responsible for forming signs of security events. In the conditions of large-scale application of common repetitive cyberattacks, the main function of CTI was to identify simple technical features called indicators of compromise (IOCs). Bit sequences (signatures) are used as such IOCs. In the conditions of large-scale application of complex cyberattacks, the task of developing such APT attack forecasting maps that allow the formation of security event attributes pattern (SEAP) for automated detection by computer means of cyber defense infrastructure becomes urgent. The article is devoted to the development of a model that, with the help of an attribute-transfer approach to the essence of information, allows to formalize the processes of cyber protection. The model visually details and combines the events that reveal the essence of the APT attack preparation and implementation, the processes of protection and the task of cyber threat intelligence to determine specific data for the means of an effective cyber defense infrastructure. The level of detail of the model allows the application of known mathematical constructions to describe security events and security information. This approach simplifies the forming algorithms for automating cyber protection processes.
Analysis of methods of classification of electronic messages based on neural network models
Authors: Onishchenko Volodymyr , Minochkin Anatolii
Published: December 2023

In the article, the creation of a mechanism for detecting and classifying messages is considered, with an assessment of how effectively different neural networks work and can recognize and classify different types of electronic messages, including phishing attacks, spam, and legitimate messages. A preliminary analysis of incoming messages has been performed, encompassing their headers, text, and other relevant attributes. For instance, in the case of emails, these attributes could be the 'subject' and 'sender' of the message. Methods for data preparation and processing have been reviewed, including text vectorization, noise removal, and normalization, to be utilized in training neural networks. Message tokenization has been performed by transforming them into a numerical format while considering the selection of features. For text messages, it is crucial to execute both tokenization and text vectorization. The model training was performed on the test data with prior splitting into two parts: 80% for training and 20% for testing. The training set is utilized for training the model, while the test set is used to evaluate its effectiveness. The peculiarity of the class structure of the data, namely the uniformity of the distribution of classes, is considered. In this case, spam occurs less frequently than legitimate messages, so class balancing techniques such as random deletion of redundant examples, upsampling, and subsampling were applied to ensure adequate model training. Optimization of network parameters was performed, by researching the optimal parameters of neural networks, such as the number and size of layers, activation functions, and optimization of hyperparameters to achieve the best performance. Hyperparameter optimization includes determining optimal settings for neural networks, such as layer size, activation functions, learning rate, and other parameters. The effectiveness was assessed by comparing the results and performance of various classification methods based on neural networks using metrics such as precision and F1-score. It was determined how well the methods can avoid misclassifications where legitimate messages are mistakenly identified as spam, and vice versa. A comparison of the methods' effectiveness in processing a large volume of messages in real time was conducted. An analysis of different architectures of neural network models was performed. Based on the analysis, it was revealed how effectively different neural network models can recognize and classify messages as spam.

Transfer Learning for Anomaly Detection Using Bearings' Vibration Signals
Authors: Nieves-Avendano Diego , Deschrijver Dirk , Van Hoecke Sofie
Published: December 2023

Predictive maintenance is becoming increasingly important in the industry. Despite considerable advances in data collection and data-driven models, there are still limitations when deploying models in practice. One of the main limitations is the large datasets required to train these models. As a potential solution, transfer learning can be used to reuse knowledge acquired from large datasets for similar tasks under different conditions. This paper investigates the transferability of the specific anomaly detection scenario, an unsupervised learning task with heavily imbalanced label distribution. This paper uses a dataset generated from a bearing test platform in which bearings are run until failure under different operating conditions. A lightweight deep learning model, MobileNetV2, is employed to create a baseline model capable of detecting anomalies for a specific working condition. The model is then adapted using transfer learning to identify anomalies under new operating conditions with limited data accurately. The results show that the data for new conditions is insufficient to train an adequate model and that transfer learning can overcome this limitation. The adapted models can detect anomalies before the expert's knowledge reference value. Although this shows that transfer learning can detect anomalies earlier, the results must be evaluated carefully to avoid false positives. While anomaly detection aims to identify changes in feature distributions, transfer learning aims to align different feature distributions. Transfer learning for unsupervised learning has rarely been explored. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the few works addressing it in the context of predictive maintenance for anomaly detection.
Active Vibration Control of a Quarter-Car Model via a Time-Delayed Vibration Absorber
Authors: Sun Yixia
Published: December 2023

A time-delayed vibration absorber (TDVA) is proposed to suppress the vertical vibration of a quarter-car model. First, the mechanical model of the combined system with a linear TDVA is studied. Second, the vibration suppression effect of the linear TDVA at a fixed excitation frequency is experimentally verified when the passive absorber totally loses efficacy. Third, based on the system acceleration response amplitude derived by the harmonic balance method, the control parameters optimization of the nonlinear TDVA is carried out in a wide frequency band; the numerical simulation of original vibration equations is conducted to determine the stability of the system. It is concluded that the broadband vibration suppression effect of the nonlinear TDVA is obtained with optimal control parameters. The numerical results validate the correctness of the theoretical ones.

Cronos compartido: los usos del tiempo junto a la pareja
Authors: Callejo Gallego Manuel Javier
Published: December 2023

Cuando se aborda la vida en pareja desde los usos del tiempo, la mayor parte de los ejercicios sociológicos empíricos tienden a centrarse en el reparto o división de tareas domésticas. Un tipo de observación que tiende a: a) dejar a un lado el resto de actividades, salvo excepcionalmente el trabajo remunerado; b) centrarse en lo que hace cada uno de los miembros de la pareja y no en lo que hacen juntos. El presente trabajo es una observación de las parejas españolas desde la sociología del tiempo. Se pregunta: qué hacen juntas, en qué momentos están juntas y cuáles son las actividades que más contribuyen a estar juntas. Aun cuando no puede decirse plenamente que se trata de una observación sobre el tiempo compartido, en la medida que este concepto conlleva cierta inversión de subjetividad, es una aproximación al mismo. Para ello, ha utilizado como fuente los resultados de la Encuesta de Empleo del Tiempo 2009-2010, centrándose únicamente en la submuestra de informantes que viven en pareja.
La UE, entre mantenerse, retroceder y avanzar
Authors: Ohlendorf Edmund
Published: December 2023

El primer capítulo de este artículo se ocupa del sistema de organización del poder en la UE. Se describe la interacción de los diferentes cuerpos en el proceso legislativo. También se hace referencia a debilidades en el procedimiento, así como aspectos del ámbito político reservados al Parlamente Europeo.
El segundo capítulo hace referencia a medidas que han llevado a Hungría y Polonia a una regresión política, medidas que ya no están en consonancia con las normas y objetivos de la UE y que ha desembocado en variadas demandas ante el Tribunal de justicia europeo.
En el tercer capítulo se presentan variadas propuestas que la UE debería desarrollar hacia una unión económica y monetaria real. También se apuntan algunos aspectos críticos sobre el tema.
En el cuarto capítulo se manifiesta que la UE no es solamente una unión económica, sino que también se basa en valores comunes, por ejemplo, a la legalidad, o valor de la ley, y a una solidaridad común, que son importantes para la cohesión europea.
The Collatz Conjecture: A New Proof using Algebraic Inverse Trees
Authors: Diedrich Eduardo
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a novel approach to demonstrate the Collatz Conjecture, an unsolved problem in mathematics stating that all positive integers will eventually converge to 1 when subjected to a recursive sequence of operations. We introduce Algebraic Inverse Trees (AITs), innovative data structures that characterize relationships within the Collatz sequence by tracing inverse transformations back to the origin. Leveraging properties unveiled through this inverted representation, including absence of non-trivial cycles and guaranteed convergence of paths, we construct a topological framework to formally prove that all trajectories invariably lead to 1 under the Collatz iterative process. This modern technique provides not only the machinery to manifest a rigorous proof, but also grants intuitive insights into the deep complexity of this notorious yet elementary conjecture.

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in over 720 million confirmed cases and 7 million deaths worldwide, with insufficient treatment options. Innumerable efforts are being made around the world for faster identification of therapeutic agents to treat the deadly disease. Postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 (PASC), also called Long COVID, is still being understood and lacks treatment options as well. A growing list of drugs are being suggested by various in silico, in vitro and ex vivo models, however currently only two treatment options are widely used: the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor remdesivir, and the main protease inhibitor nirmatrelvir in combination with ritonavir. Computational drug development tools and in silico studies involving molecular docking, molecular dynamics, entropy calculations and pharmacokinetics can be useful to identify new targets to treat COVID-19 and PASC, as shown in this paper. We have investigated bisphosphonates which can bind competitively to nidovirus RdRp-associated nucleotidyl (NiRAN) transferase domain, and systematically down selected seven candidates for further evaluation (CHEMBL608526, CHEMBL196676, CHEMBL164344, CHEMBL4291724, CHEMBL4569308, CHEMBL387132, CHEMBL98211). Interestingly, one of these (CHEMBL608526) very closely resembles the approved drug minodronate, and another (CHEMBL98211) resembles the approved drug zoledronate.

Background: In America, vaccine-related deaths constitute a significant contributor to child mortality. An essential means of reducing this is through broad vaccine coverage. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a potential disruption to vaccine coverage due to its effects on the healthcare system. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on DTP3 vaccination coverage in the Americas, investigating trends from 2012 to 2022 to identify significant changes, regional disparities, and the overall effect of the pandemic on progress towards global immunization targets. Methods: This study used the coverage data for the third dose of the Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis Vaccine (DTP3) pulled from UNICEF databases spanning 2012 to 2022. We conducted a JoinPoint regression to identify points of significant trend changes. The annual percentage change (APC) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated for America and its regions. We also used segmented regression analysis. Using the Chi-square test, we compared DTP3 vaccination coverage for each country between 2019 and 2022. Results: Overall, America saw a decrease in vaccine coverage during this period, with an APC of -1.4 (95% CI -1.8.; -1.0). This trend varied across regions. In North America, the decrease was negligible (-0.1% APC). South America showed the steepest decrease, with an APC of -2.5%. Central America also signif-icantly declined, with an APC of -1.3%. Our findings suggest a concerning trend of declining DTP vaccination rates in the Americas, exacerbated in certain regions, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The absolute decrease in vaccine coverage in the Americas was -4 % between 2019 and 2022, with the most significant drop observed in Central America (-7 %). However, six countries reported increased vaccination rates post-COVID-19, led by Brazil, with a 7% increase. Conversely, twenty-two countries registered a decline in DTP3 vaccine coverage, with the average decrease being -7.37%. This decline poses a significant challenge to achieving the WHO's target of 90% coverage for the third dose of DTP by 2030, as evidenced by the reduction in the number of countries meeting this target from 2019 to 2022. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted vaccine coverage in America, leading to a decrease, especially across Central America.

The object of study is a transversely bent triangular plate made of orthotropic material fixed along the edges of the plate under the action of a uniformly distributed load. Fourth-order differential equilibrium equations with variable orthotropy parameters were used. The equations were approximated by finite differences for a grid of scalene triangles. This type of mesh accurately describes the boundary contour of the triangular-shaped plates. The boundary conditions for the mesh consider the orthotropy of the plate material. Seven standard finite-difference equations have been developed considering the boundary conditions along the three edges of the plate and the presence of three angles of an irregularly shaped triangle. A finite difference matrix is obtained. The matrix structure makes calculating a triangular plate at different base angles possible. The boundary conditions were varied in the form of rigid or hinged support of triangular plates. The calculation method considers the orthotropic parameters of the material in two mutually perpendicular planes. The adaptation of the numerical method to the calculation of orthotropic plates of arbitrary shape is described. Relationships are given for determining the rigidity characteristics of orthotropic materials. An algorithm for simple engineering calculation of triangular orthotropic plates is proposed, which makes it possible to perform accurate calculations in variant design.
Brain Laterality and Personality Traits: Assessing Handedness as a Proxy for Innate Neurological Differences between Individuals
Authors: Rocha Paulo
Published: December 2023

The split of the brain into two hemispheres is pivotal to human existence, enabling incompatible versions of the world, with quite different priorities and values, to exist concomitantly. Neuroimaging techniques are usually the adopted methods to assess hemispherical bias. However, can differences in thinking orientation, behavioural style, and personality emerging from laterality be observed without the use of neuroimaging techniques? This paper investigates whether a personality test based on the Five-factor model (FFM) is also able to identify hemispherical bias. It does so by testing five hypotheses on personality differences related to handedness. The aim is to contribute to the instantiation of the FFM in neuroscience by testing its validity against the neuroscientific literature on brain laterality. The findings pointed to no statistically significant differences due to handedness in three out of five personality traits (namely, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness and Extraversion). As to the other two traits – Openness and Agreeableness – the hypotheses were only partially confirmed by the data, as the relevant difference found was not between left-handed and right-handed groups, but between ambidextrous and the others.
