Locating sources of a high energy cosmic ray extensive air shower using HiSPARC data
Authors: Aziz Surayyah , Phillips Richard
Published: October 2023

In the physics community, there is continued interest in high energy cosmic rays and their co-location to stellar sources, including to supernovae. Observational history and corresponding theories link the high energies associated with these types of cosmic rays to those produced in various latter evolution stages of stellar bodies. We hypothesize that high-energy cosmic ray air showers have a source region associated with specific stellar bodies. Here, we present our analysis of the locations of possible high-energy cosmic ray sources by using data from University of Twente cosmic ray detectors that are part of the High School Project on Astrophysics Research with Cosmics (HiSPARC) network. As an example of the potential of the HiSPARC network to aid cosmic ray source location, we analyzed event count data from a high-energy air shower recorded during the first week of January 2014. The data was then processed such that the direction of the air shower could be ascertained to provide the likely area of air shower origin. Angle and time data were then inputted in to Stellarium™, a free open-source planetarium application from which sources could be located. Our results suggest two sources are candidates for the origins of the high-energy air shower: the Cepheid variable Polaris and the binary system, Iota Ursae Majoris A. In sum, we have shown the potential of the HiSPARC network to aid location of stellar sources that may be responsible for detected cosmic air showers.
Comments on the Adoption of Discretionary Preemption in Patent Prosecution
Authors:   Korean Administrative Law Association, Bae Byung Ho
Published: October 2023

As the world's fourth-largest patent applicant country, the value of intellectual property rights has been emphasized, and disputes are increasing and the relevant legal system is changing. The system for resolving such disputes is based on a two-pronged structure of patent prosecution and patent infringement litigation, in which necessary preemption is largely applied depending on the type of dispute.
First of all, in the case of patent law, disputes over patent applications and their examination procedures are basically only subject to patent examination by patent judges as a special form of appeal against patent rejection or patent invalidation, and lawsuits against patent revocation decisions or judgments of patent judges are immediately subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the patent court, which is the highest court, and the judgment of the patent court can be appealed to the Supreme Court, which consists of a two-trial structure.
On the other hand, on December 1, 2015, Article 24 of the Civil Procedure Act was amended to concentrate the jurisdiction of the first instance court to the district court with jurisdiction over the location of the high court, and to recognize the overlapping jurisdiction of the Seoul Central District Court for suits related to intellectual property rights, including patents. At the same time, on December 1, 2015, Article 28(4) of the Court Organization Act was amended to concentrate the jurisdiction of appellate review of infringement cases decided by the court of first instance to the Patent Court. In other words, the Patent Court has exclusive jurisdiction over appellate review of infringement cases involving patent rights, which were previously handled by the Seoul High Court and 23 other high courts and district court divisions nationwide. This is to improve the professionalism, consistency, and efficiency of the patent courts, enhance the effectiveness of industrial property rights protection such as seekers' patents, and contribute to enhancing national competitiveness through the advancement of the patent litigation system.
In light of the above changes in the system, it is necessary to conduct a post-legislative evaluation of the feasibility of introducing necessary precedentialism in patent judgment. In particular, as patent review and patent infringement litigation proceed simultaneously, there may be differences in the views of district courts and patent judges in the handling of patent disputes, resulting in delays. If complaints are raised as a result and the need for legislative improvement is emphasized, it is necessary to evaluate the legislation after the fact. In a situation where the protection environment of patent holders has been greatly improved due to the activation of the patent court, it would be desirable to have a discretionary preemption system that allows parties to choose the judgment of the patent appeals board.
Issues in Korea’s administrative planning and planning-related laws and some improvement measures
Authors:   Korean Administrative Law Association, Sung Joong-Tak
Published: October 2023

Administration in modern countries is largely comprised of planned administration, and administrative planning is a key means of so-called ‘infrastructural administration’ and the cornerstone of state activities in a country ruled by law. In general, administrative planning has a wide range of autonomy in selecting the means to achieve its goals, and legislatively, administrative planning laws and regulations require the relevant administrative agencies to select the means due to the need for technical expertise, responsiveness, and flexibility. There is no choice but to grant broad discretion. For that reason, the Administrative Planning Act is inevitably governed by a purpose-and-means structure, so prior regulation through legislation is bound to be insufficient, and there are certain limitations in judicial control ex post by the courts, etc. Nevertheless, as we enter the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the administrative planning legislation must be based on the momentum of ‘sustainable development and harmony with the social and natural environment.’ In order for the administrative planning legislation to respond to the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the use of spatial information, national land monitoring system, smart Although communities, etc. are being introduced, if we follow the national strategy of a leading economy or inclusive society that our country should pursue in the future, the Administrative Planning Act will enable more detailed, efficient, and sustainable management than large-scale development projects such as the conventional catch-up economy. There is a need to establish and implement. Meanwhile, appropriate control measures for these administrative planning laws and administrative plans must be prepared, and in order to achieve appropriate judicial control over administrative plans, it is necessary to construct planning-specific control laws. In this regard, the formation of legal principles such as the expansion of the disposition of plans, planning discretion theory, sentencing order theory and sentencing defect theory, preventive prohibition lawsuits, planning guarantees, and guarantees of abolition claims can be evaluated as a great development in administrative law theory. It is significant that participatory democratic prior control should be implemented from the plan confirmation stage before legal control is confirmed.
WO3/Bi2WO6 photoanode enhancement for photoelectrocatalytic water oxidation; scan rate effect optimization in the cyclic voltammetry deposition method
Authors: Uttayanil Titsucha , Ponchio Chatchai
Published: October 2023

The photoelectrocatalytic approach is a very efficient technology for eliminating microorganisms and organic contaminants. The development of photoanode is widely recognized as a crucial approach to enhancing the efficiency of photoelectrocatalytic cells. The key goal of this methodology is to enhance the efficacy of photoelectrocatalytic oxidation by optimizing composited photoanode fabrication. This research development focuses mainly on fabricating composite WO3/Bi2WO6 semiconductor thin films with high water oxidation efficiency and favorable photoelectrocatalytic E. coli degradation applications. Cyclic voltammetry was utilized to create WO3/Bi2WO6 thin coatings on conducting glass while optimizing the photoelectrocatalytic activity via the scan rate parameter. The characteristics of the developed electrode, including charge transfer resistance, optical properties, morphology, crystal structure, chemical composition, and oxidation numbers, were investigated to improve photoelectrocatalytic activity. It was observed that the scanning rate significantly influenced the characteristics of the WO3/Bi2WO6 electrode and the photoelectrocatalytic activity on water oxidation.  It was discovered that the WO3/Bi2WO6 electrode prepared with a scan rate of 25 mV/s exhibited the greatest photoelectrocatalytic water oxidation as well as distinguishing characteristics from other conditions. The decision to utilize decreased scanning rates has been determined to optimize the reaction kinetics and improve the film-forming properties of WO3/Bi2WO6. Significantly, the developed electrode can also be used to eliminate 87.5% of E.coli in 15 minutes via a photoelectrocatalytic catalytic mechanism. The photoanode composed of WO3/Bi2WO6 has promising capabilities in removing microorganisms and organic pollutants, making it a viable candidate for future advancements in wastewater management applications.

Authors: Zainul Wasik  , Sangadji Suwandi S. , Iswanto Dedy
Published: October 2023

Purpose: This essay aims to reconstruct young people's understanding of and attitude towards social entrepreneurship as a field of endeavour critical to developing crucial competencies in the New Economy. The study also aims to describe young people's perceptions of their willingness to participate in society and the current economy as agents.

Design/methodology/approach: In order to accomplish this, a diagnostic study (based on a so-called task catalogue) was carried out with a group of more than 500 students in Indonesian vocational high schools, senior high schools, and private schools, as well as three workshops with students from particular school types.

Findings: According to the study, students are aware of the possibilities of engaging in social activism through broadly construed social entrepreneurship and third sector involvement. It was also proven that they are well cognizant of the opportunities and requirement for action in this regard. The materials that students have discussed transfer into skills required in the New Economy.

Research limitations/implications: A lot of variables that could influence teenage behaviour must be taken into account in modern study. These difficulties will undoubtedly merit consideration throughout the formulation and creation of the research's tools in further in-depth studies.

Practical implications: Young people's social entrepreneurship is constantly evolving, and even though its focus shifts (from shared management activities to civic engagement and social solidarity activities), it always refers to collaborative efforts on the cusp of economic and social reality. Young people's attitude towards carrying out duties that are beneficial to society is also evolving. Young people view them as a chance to address both societal issues and the difficulties posed by the postmodern world's transformations.

Social implications: Young people are more conscious and involved citizens as well as more responsible future members of the New Economy thanks to the competencies they have acquired.

Originality/value: The paper reconstructs the tools, strategies, and perspectives of young people towards the agency opportunities provided by social entrepreneurship. The knowledge that was gathered was examined in light of the project's competency-based competence issues.

Published: October 2023

Son múltiples los artículos publicados por organismos e instituciones de carácter científico que plasman su preocupación por las alteraciones que provoca el cambio climático en los ambientes marinos, perturbando la estabilidad de los corales. Tomando en cuenta las investigaciones previas, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar la incidencia de los datos históricos y actuales de temperatura, oxígeno disuelto y transparencia, en el blanqueamiento de los corales en la Bahía de Matumbal de la Isla Colón en la Provincia de Bocas del Toro. Con este fin, la pregunta de investigación es ¿Los datos históricos y actuales de temperatura, oxígeno disuelto y transparencia del agua inciden en el blanqueamiento de los corales en la Bahía Matumbal, del Archipiélago de Bocas del Toro?

Para desarrollar la investigación se dividió la Bahía de    Matumbal en cuatro áreas denominadas STRI 1, STRE1 2, STRI POINT y STRI STROVE, donde se tomaron datos de temperatura, oxígeno disuelto y transparencia (históricos y actuales). Además, se evaluó la cobertura coralina y blanqueamiento potencial de corales en el área de estudio.

Los límites inferiores y superiores de los intervalos de confianza calculados para todas las variables, contrastadas con los valores de referencias establecidas por la comunidad científica, capaces de producir blanqueamientos en los corales en la Bahía Matumbal y adoptando el paradigma estadístico que establece “si el valor referente (establecido por la comunidad científica) se localiza dentro de los límites inferiores y superiores del intervalo de confianza, se acepta la hipótesis del investigador”. Los resultados calculados con el software SPSS permiten observar que los valores de referencia se localizan fuera los límites, resultados que permiten inferir que la misma Se debe rechazar.

Para mayor seguridad del rechazo o no de la hipótesis del investigador se aplicó la prueba t de student para muestras independientes cuyos resultados señalan que los P-valor para todas las variables estudiadas son superiores (temperatura histórica p=0.499, temperatura actual p=0.5, oxígeno disuelto histórico p=0.49, oxígeno disuelto actual p=0.5) al nivel de significancia establecida para esta investigación(<0.05) por lo tanto; se debe rechazar la hipótesis del investigador y aceptar la hipótesis nula la cual afirma que: “Ho: los valores históricos y actuales de la temperatura, transparencia y oxígeno disuelto no son significativos para provocar la afectación de los corales en la Bahía Matumbal”

En este sentido, se recomienda ampliar la investigación incluyendo otros factores como los antrópicos, Ph, salinidad, entre otros, para determinar su relación con el blanqueamiento y la cobertura coralina en el área de estudio.

El uso de los entornos virtuales en el aprendizaje (EVA) ha sido un avance ingénito a la cobertura de las redes informáticas y la realidad de las masas. La imposibilidad de la instrucción presencial tras la inédita situación sanitaria mundial al inicio del segundo decenio del siglo XXI aceleró la avocación de la educación superior hacia los EVA y Panamá no escapó a dicha realidad.

En la Universidad de Panamá, bajo la premisa de la libertad de cátedra, los profesores emplearon un sinnúmero de herramientas digitales para cumplir con su misión de enseñar. Google Classroom, una de estas herramientas digitales, permite estructurar el contenido de las lecciones emulando un EVA. Esta investigación pretende esclarecer si el uso de Google Classroom como entorno virtual mejoraó el aprendizaje constructivista del inglés en los estudiantes de tercer año del curso Introducción a la Lingüística Inglesa en la Universidad de Panamá, Campus Octavio Méndez Pereira, 2021. Para lograr la meta, se aplica una encuesta COLLES modificada como instrumento de medición. Para relacionar los datos, se considera la prueba T de Student (con muestras independientes) para valorar pretest-post-test y una correlación de Kendall (Tau-b) de las medias y resultados perceptuales dado el bajo número de muestras. Se concluye que la percepción del conocmiento no guarda relación con Google Classroom y se demuestra que su uso entorno virtual de aprendizaje propicia el aprendizaje del inglés en los estudiantes.

Published: October 2023

This article is devoted to the processing of time signals in a discrete time domain. Time signals are the main object of analysis in many areas, such as signal processing, communication, control and much more. Today, for efficient signal processing, it is necessary to use methods adapted to the discrete time domain, using the Z-transform method to solve difference equations in the discrete time domain. The Ztransform method is a powerful and most effective tool for analyzing and solving difference equations, widely used in control systems, signal processing and other fields. The main steps of applying the Z-transformation method are also presented, starting from the formulation of the difference equation to obtaining a solution in the original time domain. Special attention is paid to the Z-transformation process, where the difference equation turns into an algebraic equation with respect to the Z operator. The basic properties of the Z-transformation and the operations with them necessary for the successful application of the method are described.

Analysis of Al-generated Music Applications in Primary Schools under the STEAM Education System
Authors: Siyuan Chen , Xichen Sun , Xintong Xu , Shijia Tang , Yuemei Yang
Published: October 2023

As a refinement of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) is considered a more comprehensive and practical pedagogy. However, in China’s educational environment, without the combination of test-oriented content, such methodology is hard to apply and popularize. Therefore, how to integrate more STEAM elements into the classroom while still meeting the assessment objectives of the exams needs to be considered further. Besides, to meet the iterative requirement of STEAM design, integrating advanced technology elements, especially Al, is an unavoidable trend. With a focus on music in the arts section of STEAM, our research is mainly intended to discuss the validity and practicality of using AI to generate songs that can help both Chinese primary school teachers to make innovations in class content and students to memorize certain knowledge points. Drawing on findings in the previous literature on STEAM education concerning AI music, the impact of nursery rhymes, and related AI platforms, this study collects knowledge points that are appropriate for primary school students and produces AI-generated songs. Then we discuss how these songs can be integrated into the STEAM system. The study assumes that AI-generated knowledge memory songs are actionable and have a good potential for further development. These songs could have a significant positive impact on primary school students’ knowledge memory and also stimulate teachers’ interest in adapting more technology elements in their teaching to make teaching more creative.

This paper focuses on the application of AI technology to control costs in the buffet industry, using the example of the restaurant KAMII as a case study. Our analysis of KAMII and the buffet industry overall has revealed that a significant proportion of operational issues are related to cost control. Moreover, there is also room to reduce restaurant costs. To address these challenges, we have drawn inspiration from Haidilao’s “Smart Cloud Migration” technology and propose to leverage AI for dish prediction and ingredient usage control. By doing so, we aim to achieve cost control not only for KAMII, but also for the broader buffet industry, as well as the catering industry. Ultimately, the project aims to generate practical solutions for real-world problems.

Published: October 2023

AI applications in healthcare have broad and exciting prospects, especially in medical image segmentation where AI has proved it can do a better job than human beings in specific tasks. In this project, we apply a U-net model to complete the retinal vessel segmentation task and compare the results with the morphology method which is a classical automatic segmentation technique. Besides, we also make an attempt at data enhancement in morphology methods to explore the importance of data preprocessing in digital image processing. The result shows that the U-net model produces better outcomes than the morphology method according to most of the evaluation criteria. However, data enhancement in morphology does not show significant differences from the original.

Divorce is the right of every married couple in Indonesia to the extent of the reasons written in the marriage law. Prisoners are citizens who are given a criminal sentence in prison for a specified period of time. In a divorce trial involving a prisoner, often the judge's decision will be in the form of a verstek decision. This type of decision is made because convicts cannot attend court proceedings due to limitations in prison. This research assesses legal justice from the perspective of critical legal studies in viewing prisoners' divorce decisions in the form of verstek decisions. The research method used is juridical-normative research with a descriptive analytical approach. Data collection techniques were carried out using literature study methods that were relevant to the research object. The results of the research show that critical legal studies views that the verstek decision in prisoner divorce cases does not reflect the value of legal justice, only legal certainty. The recommendation is that efforts are needed to present post-modern regulations with values of justice, benefit and legal certainty, especially regarding the issue of prisoner divorce.

 

Abstrak

Perceraian merupakan hak setiap pasangan di Indonesia sesuai dengan alasan yang tertulis dalam undang-undang perkawinan. Narapidana merupakan warga negara yang diberikan hukuman pidana di dalam penjara untuk kurun waktu yang ditentukan. Apabila terjadi perceraian yang melibatkan narapidana, seringkali keputusan hakim akan berupa putusan verstek. Keputusan sedemikian dibuat karena narapidana tidak bisa menghadiri proses persidangan di pengadilan akibat keterbatasan di penjara. Penelitian ini menilai keadilan hukum perspektif critical legal studies dalam memandang putusan perceraian narapidana yang berupa putusan verstek. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian yuridis-normatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode studi literatur yang relevan dengan objek penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa critical legal studies memandang putusan verstek kasus perceraian narapidana tidak mencerminkan nilai keadilan hukum, baru sekadar kepastian hukum saja. Rekomendasinya adalah perlu upaya untuk menghadirkan regulasi yang bersifat post-modern dengan nilai-nilai berkeadilan, berkemanfaatan, dan kepastian hukum, terutama dalam persoalan perceraian narapidana.

Analisis Peran dan Penanggulangan Kejahatan Siber: Studi Kasus Spearphishing
Authors: Purwani Marhaeni Sekar Fajar
Published: October 2023

The understanding of the mechanism, modus operandi, and actors involved in a cybercrime is a crucial early step to design cybercrime countermeasure strategies. This paper discusses a hypothetical case of spearphishing that involves the perpetrators, victims, as well as the unwitting participants of the committed cybercrime. Four approaches in cybercrime countermeasures are afterwards elaborated for the aforementioned hypothetical case. It is concluded that countermeasures based on education are the type of countermeasure most feasible and most crucial to be implemented; however, all types of countermeasures have their limitations and therefore have to continuously evolve and develop along with the increasingly sophisticated cybercrime.

 

Abstrak. Pemahaman mengenai mekanisme, modus operandi, serta pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam kejahatan siber merupakan langkah awal yang penting untuk merancang strategi penanggulangan tindak kejahatan siber. Karya tulis ini membahas sebuah kasus hipotetis serangan spearphishing yang melibatkan pelaku, korban, beserta pihak-pihak lain yang tanpa disadari juga terlibat dalam kejahatan siber yang dilakukan. Empat jenis pendekatan dalam penanggulangan kejahatan siber dibahas untuk kasus hipotetis tersebut. Disimpulkan bahwa penanggulangan dengan pendekatan edukasi merupakan jenis penanggulangan yang paling memungkinkan dan paling penting untuk dilaksanakan; namun, setiap jenis penanggulangan memiliki keterbatasan dan harus terus dikembangkan seiring dengan juga kejahatan siber yang semakin canggih.
