Authors: Ruli Ruli , Rukmini Dwi , Widhiyanto Widhiyanto
Published: January 2022

Writing an argumentative text requires knowledge to encode the meaning, such as the interpersonal meaning. The interpersonal meaning relates to how the writer realizes tenor in the text. The tenor encodes participants involved in the text, how the relationship between them, and what kind of attitude discovered in the text. Those meanings are covered in the three aspects of tenor: personalization, standing, and stance. This study analyzed the argumentative essays written by the English Education students of Palangkaraya University. It employed a qualitative research approach, and the research objects were argumentative essays. The results revealed that most of the students tended to be objective in conveying their argument. They tried not to involve themselves in taking a position in their essays. Unfortunately, they did not try to increase their authority by supporting their opinion with the sources. It was caused by the limitation of time and the prohibition of using handphones during writing. Even so, they shared their experiences to strengthen their argument. Besides, the students conveyed the attitude openly, even though some students wanted to be neutral. It can be implied that it is essential for the students to be more careful in selecting and applying particular language features of tenor in English writing.

The aim of the research is to analyze the adaptation of terminologies, vocabularies and phrases from English to Indonesian. The research was descriptive qualitative research in order to answer the research problem definitely. The data of the study were taken from a biography written by Tracy Wright Webster entitled Reflection on Raden Ajeng Kartini, while the translation is done by the author itself. The total number of data found was 75 Javanese cultural concepts. Then, the data were grouped into several culture categories before presented in the analysis. The result shows that there are three basic aspects that determine the translator in carrying the adaptation strategy with the Javanese culture. Those aspects are cultural factor, linguistic factor and the translator's preference. The aspects influencing the translation strategy that the translator carries is language and Indonesian modern history. In conclusion, the translation strategy of adaptation that is carried by the translator is actually dynamic. It is because in translating the Javanese cultural concepts are alternated or even hybridized, depending upon the translator's intention whether she wants to introduce the cultural concepts to the TL reader or not. However, apart from the limitation of the biography of Reflection on Raden Ajeng Kartini translation, the English version is still important for foreigners to know more about Indonesian history, culture and society.

Role of Different Model Ingredients in the Exotic Cluster-Decay of 56Ni*
Authors: Dhiman N.K.
Published: January 2022

We consider the cluster decay of 56Ni* formed in heavy-ion collisions, by using different parameters proposed by different authors for the Fermi density distribution and the nuclear radius. Our study reveals that different technical parameters do not alter significantly the structure of fractional yields. The cluster decay half-lives of different clusters lie within ±10% for different Fermi density parameters and nuclear radii and, therefore, justify the current set of parameters used in the literature for the calculation of cluster decays.

Published: January 2022

We present a complete systematic theoretical study of the multifragmentation for asymmetric colliding nuclei in heavy-ion reactions in the energy range between 50 and 1000 MeV/nucleon by using the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. We have observed an interesting outcome for asymmetric colliding nuclei. The comparison between the symmetric and asymmetric colliding nuclei for the isospin-independent and isospin-dependent cross sections has been performed. We have found the pronounced effect of different cross sections and mass asymmetry on the nuclear reaction dynamics.

У межах методу деформаційного потенціалу отримано рівняння, які дозволяють розрахувати енергетичний спектр електрона у тришаровійгетеросистемі, що містить кластер точкових дефектів у квантовій ямі. Досліджено залежність різниці енергій електрона в першому збудженому та основному станах від середньої концентрації точкових дефектів виду центра розтягу при різних значеннях ефективної маси електрона в матеріалі нанокластера.

Розглянуто вплив високотемпературного відпалу шихти номінально нелегованого CdTe у динамічному вакуумі на електричні та оптичні властивості монокристалів, вирощених з неї модифікованим методом фізичного транспорту через газову фазу. Показано, що відпал приводить до зникнення чи послаблення пов'язаних з хлором ліній випромінювання у спектрах низькотемпературної фотолюмінесценції і смуг поглинання у спектрах крайового довгохвильового поглинання кристалів, а також до різкого зменшення їх питомого опору. Ці зміни пояснено очисткою шихти від неконтрольованої домішки хлору у процесі відпалу, що зумовлено високою летючістю хлорних сполук.

Published: January 2022

Робота присвячена побудові мікроскопічної та макроскопічної теорій системи N взаємодіючих дворівневих атомів у сильному та слабкому електромагнітних полях. Побудовані мікроскопічні кінетичні рівняння для матричних елементів густини станів атомів та атомного руху N-атомної системи, які враховують взаємодію між атомами та атомів із полем. Відповідна макроскопічна кінетика побудована для одно- та двочастинкової функцій розподілів матриці густини атомних станів. Самоузгоджена система макроскопічних одночастинкових рівнянь для усереднених елементів матриці густини атомних станів разом із рівняннями Максвелла дозволяє описувати випромінювальні та поглинальні властивості системи і  пояснити залежність оптичних властивостей від густини частинок у термінах далекодійної диполь-дипольної взаємодії між атомами.

Розглянуто рух заряджених частинок, що інжектовані з великими початковими енергіями поперечного руху (E┴~ E║), у системі з гострокутовоюгеометрією магнітного поля. Отримано залежності глибини проникнення і проходження через систему таких частинок за різних умов на вході.Показано, що частинки з однаковою початковою енергією поперечного руху можуть пройти через систему або відбитися залежно від співвідношення між початковою радіальною та азимутальною швидкостями. Розглянуто характеристики потоку частинок у центрі системи в перетині, де магнітне поле дорівнює нулю (швидкість частинок, радіальний зсув частинок щодо стартового радіуса, спрямованість потоку), залежно від початкової радіальної швидкості. Запропоновано можливі застосування результатів дослідження.

Human placenta extracts have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and wound-healing properties, so they are promising drugs for the treatment of wounds of various origins, including burns. Cryopreservation methods are widely used to preserve the biological activity of placental drugs for a long time. The aim of this work was to study the effect of low-temperature storage of the placenta on the regenerative properties of its extracts. Fragments of freshly obtained placentas were cooled by immersion in liquid nitrogen and stored at –196 °C for 6 months. The placenta was warmed in a water bath at 37 °C. The effect of low-temperature preservation of the placenta on the ability of its extracts to positively affect the wound healing process was studied in a model of thermal burn of III B degree in rats. The effectiveness of wound treatment with extracts from cryopreserved placenta was evaluated by planimetric and histological methods at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after the burn. The activity of antioxidant enzymes in the serum of animals was also determined. superoxide dismutase activity was assessed by inhibition of adrenaline autooxidation in carbonate buffer, catalase activity was assessed by the degree of inhibition of ammonium peroxide formation. It has been shown that the treatment of burns with extracts from cryopreserved placenta helped to accelerate the regeneration processes and the rate of wound healing. The formation of granulation tissue was detected on the 7th day of treatment with extracts, and on the 14th day in the control. The area of burn wounds during treatment with extracts probably differed from the control starting from 14 days after application of the burn. It was found that the dynamics of recovery of catalase activity after burns is probably higher on the 7th day of treatment with extracts. The obtained data testify to the high efficiency of application of placenta stored at low-temperature for the purpose of obtaining extracts from it with preservation of regenerative properties.
A Survey of Opponent Modeling in Adversarial Domains
Authors: Nashed Samer , Zilberstein Shlomo
Published: January 2022

Opponent modeling is the ability to use prior knowledge and observations in order to predict the behavior of an opponent. This survey presents a comprehensive overview of existing opponent modeling techniques for adversarial domains, many of which must address stochastic, continuous, or concurrent actions, and sparse, partially observable payoff structures. We discuss all the components of opponent modeling systems, including feature extraction, learning algorithms, and strategy abstractions. These discussions lead us to propose a new form of analysis for describing and predicting the evolution of game states over time. We then introduce a new framework that facilitates method comparison, analyze a representative selection of techniques using the proposed framework, and highlight common trends among recently proposed methods. Finally, we list several open problems and discuss future research directions inspired by AI research on opponent modeling and related research in other disciplines.
Moments estimators and omnibus chi-square tests for some usual probability laws
Authors: Gning Gorgui , Niang Aladji Babacar , Ngom Modou , Lo Gane
Published: January 2022

For many probability laws, in parametric models, the estimation of the parameters can be done in the frame of the maximum likelihood method, or in the frame of moment estimation methods, or by using the plug-in method, etc. Usually, for estimating more than one parameter, the same frame is used. We focus on the moment estimation method in this paper. We use the instrumental tool of the functional empirical process (fep) in Lo (2016) to show how it is practical to derive, almost algebraically, the joint distribution Gaussian law and to derive omnibus chi-square asymptotic laws from it. We choose four distributions to illustrate the method (Gamma law, beta law, Uniform law and Fisher law) and completely describe the asymptotic laws of the moment estimators whenever possible. Simulations studies are performed to investigate for each case the smallest sizes for which the obtained statistical tests are recommendable. Generally, the omnibus chi-square test proposed here work fine with sample sizes around fifty.
