Authors: Renata Tiara
Published: October 2023

Besarnya angka korupsi yang terjadi di Indonesia merupakan hal yang melatarbelakangi, serta terdapat persmalahan di kalangan mahasiswa sendiri yang tergolong kepada tindakan korupsi seperti mencontek saat UTS atau UAS, datang terlambat pada saat mata kuliah berlangsung, menitip absen kehadiran kepada teman. Adapun tujuan untuk mengetahui pelaksaan pendidikan anti korupsi sejak dikeluarkannya permenristekdikti no 33 tahun 2019 mengenai penyelenggaraan pendidikan anti korupsi di perguruan tinggi. Adapun hasilnya menemukan pendidikan anti korupsi belum berjalan sebagaimana mestinya dikarenakan kurangnya pelatihan yang diberikan menyangkut pendidikan anti korupsi itu sendiri. Sebagai kesimpulan, penyelenggaraan pendidikan anti korupsi belum terselenggara secara maksimal yang diakibatkan kurangnya perhatian yang diberikan oleh pihak penyelenggara pembelajaran terkhusus. Permasalahan kasus korupsi yang tengah marak di indonesia bukan hanya menjadi beban negara saja untuk menyelesaikannya. Mahasiswa sebagai agen perubahan dan pengawasan kehidupan sosial dalam hal ini memiliki potensi yang besar untuk mengurai permasalahan korupsi, salah satunya dengan kesiapan pratik pendisiplinan tubuh yang anti korupsi. Realitasnya, pendidikan anti korupsi yang telah diberlakukan pada perguruan tinggi, mendapati tantangan dominan berupa sengkarut perilaku korupsi immaterial yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa.Kata kunci: Pendidikan Anti Korupsi

Published: October 2023

Coupled human-water systems (CHWS) are diverse and have been studied across a wide variety of disciplines. Integrating multiple disciplinary perspectives on CHWS provides a comprehensive and actionable understanding of these complex systems. While interdisciplinary integration has often remained elusive, specific combinations of disciplines might be comparably easier to integrate (compatible) and/or their combination might be particularly likely to uncover previously unobtainable insights (complementary). This paper systematically identifies such promising combinations by mapping disciplines along a common set of topical, philosophical and methodological dimensions. It also identifies key challenges and lessons for multidisciplinary research teams seeking to integrate highly promising (complementary) but poorly compatible disciplines. Applied to eight disciplines that span the environmental physical sciences and the quantitative and qualitative social sciences, we found that promising combinations of disciplines identified by the typology broadly reproduce patterns of recent interdisciplinary collaborative research revealed by a bibliometric analysis. We also found that some disciplines are centrally located within the typology by being compatible and complementary to multiple other disciplines along distinct dimensions. This points to the potential for these disciplines to act as catalysts for wider interdisciplinary integration.
What is coastal subsidence?
Authors: Tornqvist Torbjorn , Blum Michael
Published: October 2023

While major technological advances have made measurements of coastal subsidence more sophisticated, these advances have not always been matched by a thorough examination of what is actually being measured. Here we draw attention to the widespread miscommunication about key concepts in the coastal subsidence literature, much of which revolving around the interplay between sediment accretion, vertical land motion, and surface-elevation change. We attempt to rectify this by drawing on well-established concepts from the tectonic geomorphology community. A consensus on these issues by means of a common language can help bridge the gap between disparate disciplines (ranging from geophysics to ecology) that are critical in the quest for meaningful projections of future relative sea-level rise.
Future (2015-2100) Antarctic-wide ice-shelf firn air depletion from a statistical firn emulator
Authors: Dunmire Devon , Wever Nander , Banwell Alison , Lenaerts Jan
Published: October 2023

Antarctic firn is critical for ice-shelf stability because it stores meltwater that would otherwise pond on the surface. Ponded meltwater increases the risk of hydrofracture, and subsequent potential ice-shelf collapse. Here, we use output from a firn model to build a computationally simpler emulator that uses a random forest to predict ice-shelf firn air content (FAC) based on climate conditions. We find that summer air temperature and precipitation are the most important climatic features for predicting FAC. By 2100, Larsen C Ice Shelf is most at risk of firn air depletion, while the larger Ross and Ronne-Filchner are likely to experience little FAC change. Variability in Earth System Model projections is the largest uncertainty source regarding future FAC predictions. In fact, the model uncertainty, described by the firn air depletion spread from CMIP6 models in the SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 emission scenarios, is larger than the firn air depletion range across the emission scenarios.
Reason and Less: Pursuing Food, Sex, and Politics
Authors: Goel Vinod
Published: October 2023

In a December 2021 interview, Francis Collins, the departing director of the NIH noted "to have now 60 million people still holding off of taking advantage of lifesaving vaccines is pretty unexpected. It does make me, at least, realize, 'Boy, there are things about human behavior that I don't think we had invested enough into understanding. “Decision-making models--intended to explain and predict volitional behavior-- are extreme abstractions from the biology of Homo sapiens. They invariably pick out only cognitive/rational mechanisms. To the extent that an abstraction captures salient features it is valuable. To the extent that it fails to do so, it can be misleading. It is proposed that by picking out only cognitive/rational mechanisms models of decision-making are far too abstract and removed from the biology to accurately capture behavior. A case is made for tethering cognitive/rational decision-making models to "lower level" noncognitive systems such as autonomic, instinctive, and associative systems. Volitional behavior is then a blended response of these various systemsTo make this case I appeal to (i) data from cooperative economic decision-making tasks to support the blended response hypothesis; (i) evolutionary and anatomical evidence for the tethered brain; and (ill) the neuroscience literature on affect and arousal to propose a lingua franca of communication and a control structure for the tethered mind. I conclude by explaining some real world behaviors with tethered rationality.

Published: October 2023

An advancement using rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) in concealed information tests (CIT) has proven effective in detecting concealed information while resisting countermeasures. However, EEG measures used in these methods are often costly and labour-intensive. This research examined whether oculomotor measures can be effective as EEG in RSVP-based CIT, and, if so, which oculomotor measures work best. Thirty-one participants detected a target face among RSVP sequences, which also included either a familiar face (their father or mother’s face, serving as concealed information) or a control face. Analyses focused on pupil size, microsaccade rate, blink rate and blink onset. Results indicated significant pupil dilation at a greater speed in response to familiar faces compared to controls, with no marked effects on microsaccade rate, blink rate or onset. These findings, consistent with analyses of two additional datasets with names as concealed information, show that pupil size is a reliable oculomotor measure in RSVP-based CIT, whereas other measures are not.

Authors: Folk Dunigan Parker , Wu Chenxi , Heine Steven
Published: October 2023

Across two studies (Total N = 1,659), we found evidence for cultural differences in attitudes towards socially bonding with conversational AI. In Study 1 (N = 675), university students with an East Asian cultural background expected to enjoy a conversation with a chatbot (vs. with a human) more than students with European background. Moreover, they were less uncomfortable and more approving of someone else socially connecting with a chatbot (vs. human) than the students with a European background. In Study 2 (pre-registered; N = 984), we found similar evidence for cultural differences comparing samples of Chinese and Japanese adults currently living in East Asia to adults currently living in the United States. Critically, these cultural differences were explained by East Asian participants increased propensity to anthropomorphize technology. Overall, our findings suggest there is cultural variability in attitudes towards chatbots and that these differences are mediated by differences in anthropomorphism.

Liminality and Longing in Zora Neale Hurston’s Barracoon: The Story of the Last “Black Cargo” and Dionne Brand’s At the Full and Change of the Moon
Authors: Green Kim
Published: October 2023

In Barracoon: The Story of the Last “Black Cargo” (2018) and At the Full and Change of the Moon (1999), Zora Neale Hurston and Dionne Brand, two prominent African diasporic writers, pen narratives in which they centralize the challenges ingrained in the in-between spaces Black people occupy at the nexus of slavery and freedom. Through Hurston’s non-fiction narrative and Brand’s fictional narrative, they offer us important stories in which two African-descended men, Kossola and Kamena, bravely inhabit that nexus and willfully forge a space in which they assert and pursue their versions of freedom and fulfillment despite the tragedies and longing that haunt them. In Barracoon and At the Full and Change of the Moon, both authors document how persistent freedom quests and insistence on retaining and passing remembrances serve as forms of resistance to consumption by this liminal space. In both texts, then, Hurston and Brand provide us with important African diasporic narratives about the continuity of survival, resilience, and empowerment in the face of tremendous adversity.

TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF USING THE TECHNOLOGY OF LAYING COVERS FROM DRAINING ASPHALT CONCRETE
Authors: A.D. Zheltobriukh  , V.Y. Savenko
Published: October 2023

This study assesses the economic viability of utilizing porous asphalt concrete in comparison to crushed-mastic asphalt concrete, both of which share similar applications and use cases. Key differentiators affecting costs between these two asphalt concrete types are identified, including fuel consumption during production, material expenses, and overall mixture costs. Methodologies encompassing technical specifications and experimental investigations are applied, employing analytical and comparative techniques.A comprehensive technical and economic evaluation of porous and crushed-mastic asphalt concrete is conducted, factoring in identified cost variables. To determine comparative economic efficiency, industry-standard resource consumption metrics, material utilization norms, recommendations, and laboratory analyses are incorporated. Estimates are derived using aggregated data and the price calculator provided by the State Enterprise "DerzhdorNDI SE," referencing June 2023 data from Ukraine's infrastructure restoration and development services. Analysis reveals that, when assessing material, production, and installation costs exclusively, porous asphalt concrete demonstrates superior economic advantages. Furthermore, the study establishes that the implementation of porous asphalt concrete has the potential to reduce road accidents substantially. This reduction in accidents yields significant economic benefits by mitigating overall socio-economic losses stemming from traffic incidents, thus counterbalancing expenses associated with specific challenges linked to winter maintenance and the cleaning of asphalt pores.
A search strategy for publications in interdisciplinary research
Authors: Xiong Wenjing , Zhou Ping
Published: October 2023

To retrieve the right collection of publications in interdisciplinary research, we have developed a search strategy with four progressive steps and take the area of public affairs (PA) as a case study. A set of seed publications in PA is first identified, followed by the construction of a pool set of publications with wider coverage for refinement in the next step, which is critical and in which an expanded set of publications is established on the basis of the references and text semantic information, thus generating two respective subsets. One of these subsets is obtained on the basis of the number of references shared between each publication pair between the seed set and the pool set. To optimize the results, we construct two models, viz. a support vector machine (SVM) and a fully connected neural network (FCNN), and find that the FCNN model outperforms the SVM model. The second subset of publications are collected by selecting the publications with high topic similarity to the seed publications collected in the first step. The final step is to integrate the seed publications with the expanded publications collected in steps 1 and 3. The results show that PA research involves an extremely wide range of disciplines (n = 45), among which public administration, environmental sciences, economics, management, and health policy and services, among others, play the most significant roles.
On the force calculation of capture mechanisms and clamps using the «golden» rule of mechanics
Authors: Karpenko T.M. , Muzyka I.M. , Shishkin V.V.
Published: October 2023

When designing and reconstructing gripping devices or clamps, the issue of the geometric parameters of the research object that will ensure the required value of the power transmission coefficient is relevant. Usually, when performing calculations of such lever-rod mechanisms, which consist of several links, the balance of each link is considered and systems of algebraic equations are solved, which is a time-consuming process. In this paper, the power transmission coefficient, regardless of the scheme under consideration, is determined from one equation, the so-called «golden» rule of mechanics: «for the balance of a mechanical system, it is necessary and sufficient that the sum of the possible powers of active forces equals zero». In order to obtain the dependences between the speeds of the intermediate hinges for the links performing a planar movement, the "theorem on the projections of the velocity vectors of the points onto the line connecting these points" is applied. Common schemes of gripping devices of industrial robots and clamps, which are used in technological processes of metalworking and welding, are considered. Designers have the opportunity to apply the proposed method and, after performing numerous analyzes of the obtained formulas to determine the power transmission coefficient of a specific example, choose the most optimal combination of the dimensions of the mechanism and the angles between its rods. This will ensure the values of traction force or pressure in the pneumatic cylinder necessary for the operation of the mechanism, which will significantly save production resources. The algorithm proposed in the work can be applied to other flat mechanisms
Restoration of rolled equipment using composite materials
Authors: Ishchenko A.O. , Rassokhin D.O. , Nosovska O.V.
Published: October 2023

In recent years, polymer materials with various adhesive compounds based on epoxy resins, polyesters, polyurethanes, polyacrylics, and others enriched with fine-dispersed metallic and other fillers have found wide application in various industrial sectors for equipment repair. These composite repair materials have excellent adhesive properties when applied to metal surfaces, and when combined with their high strength and the ability to transition from a plastic to a solid state without shrinkage in a short period of time, they provide a broad range of applications in solving repair problems. A technology for restoring the original dimensions of equipment parts using composite materials has been developed, eliminating the need for welding and milling. Numerous industrial tests have shown that composite materials allow solving a range of serious repair problems in rolling production, particularly on heavily loaded sheet rolling stands and blooming mills when restoring worn contact surfaces of this equipment. An original technology for the application of composite materials was developed at the Pryazovskyi State Technical University (Mariupol, Ukraine), which allowed for a unique repair operation at one of the metallurgical plants, involving the installation of a new blooming mill housing onto old worn plates with wear of up to 7 mm at certain points. These composite repair materials have excellent adhesion properties when applied to metal surfaces, which, in combination with their high strength and the ability to transition from a plastic to a solid state without shrinkage in a short period of time, provide a wide range of applications in solving repair problems. Additionally, there are cases of damage to certain types of machinery that are either impossible to repair using traditional methods or require significant material and time investments for restoration

Published: October 2023

The issue of updating the locomotive fleet of industrial enterprises by modernizing outdated diesel locomotives with hydraulic power transmission was considered. The analysis of existing modernizations shows the possibility of using traction electric drive while preserving the original group drive of wheel pairs. This approach is used by manufacturers when updating outdated and creating new diesel locomotives and traction modules for rolling stock. A possible option is the use of single-motor carts. Previous studies on the choice of the type of wheel pairs drive were analyzed and it was established that the use of a group drive of wheel pairs provides the possibility of realizing high traction forces without additional devices, and the drive itself has a lower cost. This determines the expediency of using a group drive of wheel pairs when modernizing diesel locomotives with hydraulic power transmission. To realize these advantages, it is necessary to use a traction electric drive based on electromechanical alternating current converters. This approach was implemented by Mykolaiv Locomotive Repair Plant LLC during the modernization of TGM6 diesel locomotives. The diesel locomotive is intended for shunting and hauling operations, as a result of which it was assumed during the design that the traction force when moving is equal to 320 kN, the continuous traction force is 300 kN, and the maximum speed is 50 km/h. The power plant consists of a modern Cummins diesel engine and a synchronous generator. A frequency-controlled asynchronous traction electric motor is used to drive the wheel pairs. Power and control of the electric motor is carried out using a voltage inverter. Diesel locomotives use a controlled electric drive of cooling motor-fans, and semiconductor converters are used to power auxiliary systems. The locomotive and its systems are controlled by a microprocessor control system. The application of the traction electric drive based on the asynchronous electric motor provided the estimated efficiency of the diesel locomotive and the efficiency of the diesel power at the nominal power and the estimated speed of the long-term mode, equal to 6 km/h, are 0.312 relative units and 0.69 relative units, respectively. The analysis of ways to improve the traction electric drive to reduce the consumption of fuel and energy resources was carried out. It was determined that the use of a power plant with energy storage and the use of two traction electric motors for the group drive of wheel pairs may be expedient
Double feed inductor generator mathematical model for studying generation modes with unbalance of electrical machine parameters
Authors: Postil A.O. , Bialobrzheskyi O.V.
Published: October 2023

The analysis of systems using dual power generators revealed a variety of models, most of which are built in the α-β and d-q coordinate systems. Models and control systems are made taking into account the unbalance of the voltage of the electrical network. A model of a three-phase dual-supply generator with the possibility of introducing asymmetry of the electrical parameters of the stator and rotor has been synthesized. Modes with symmetric and asymmetric parameters of the machine windings were modeled. Unbalance is implemented by changing the inductance and resistance of one of the stators and/or rotor phases. In both cases, the required generation mode was obtained both in terms of voltage frequency and its effective value. In the case of unbalance parameters of the windings, asymmetry of the generated voltage and the occurrence of pulsations of the electromagnetic moment with a frequency of 100 Hz were noted. Using the approach to the analysis of the electric power caused by the voltage and current of positive, negative and zero sequences, according to the simulation results, it was noted that in the case of asymmetry, along with the appearance of the components of the negative sequence power, changes in the components of the positive sequence power occur. The indicated power components increase with increasing asymmetry of machine parameters

Published: October 2023

The research relevance is predefined by the theoretic basics of their production processes not being sufficiently studied, including the proteolysis despite the wide production of cheese analogues incorporating vegetable substances. The research aims to determine the effect of the content of cheese analogues, namely milk fat substitutes, soy protein isolates, and lactobacilli species Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and L. lactis ssp. cremoris, L. lactis ssp lactis bv. diacetilactis as well as Leuconostoc mesenteroides by the physical, chemical, and sensorial traits, and by amino acids content of cheese analogues. Determination of the physical and chemical parameters was fulfilled according to the standards: active acidity (рН) – DSTU 8550:2015; solids content (by weight) – DSTU 8552:2015 and ISO 5534:2004; non-casein nitrogen content (by weight) – ISO 17997-1:2004; total protein (by weight) – ISO 8968-1:2014 and ISO 8968-5:2001; casein content (by weight) – ISO 17997-1:2004. The fractional composition of proteins was determined using the Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis. While in the cheese dough after analysing the differences in the spectrum of free amino acids between the variants were insignificant, in ripe cheese analogues the accumulation was significantly less than in the control cheeses, only one ripe cheese analogue showed the total amount of free amino acids and was almost equal to the control. During ripening, the content of these compounds increased in cheese analogues from 2.2 times to 3.3 times, in the control the content of free amino acids increased by 2.5 times, and individual free amino acids accumulated from 3-7 to 30-40 times. Active proteolytic processes led to the appearance of all ripe products of such essential amino acids as methionine and isoleucine, there was also an increase in the level of glycine. The practical significance of the study is determined by substantiating rationale proteolytic processes in the manufacture of cheese analogues to ensure consumer quality close to the quality of cheeses made of milk

Published: October 2023

The safety of fermented sausage products is due to the elimination of a number of risks of biological origin, mainly of a microbiological nature. One of the most promising directions for the development of barrier technologies is the use of starter cultures and the biologically active substances produced by them in the production of fermented meat products. The research aims to study the influence of starter cultures and honey on a complex of physico-chemical, structuralmechanical, organoleptic indicators and nutritional value of raw smoked sausages. The article presents changes in the physical and chemical parameters of raw smoked sausages when using starter cultures in combination with different types of honey. When performing the work, 4 types of honey were used: from sunflower, phacelia, honeydew honey and from medicinal herbs. At the first stage of research, the proportion of honey application and the type of starter crops were selected. The next stage of the study was to determine the impact of the starter cultures included in the product BIOSTART PLUS 50 (lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus Sake and yeasts Debaryomyces Hansenii) and honey on moisture loss during fermentation of raw smoked sausages, physicochemical parameters of finished products. Determination of moisture content in samples was carried out by drying in a drying cabinet at a temperature of 103±2°C. Conducted studies prove that the use of the product BIOSTART PLUS 50 (lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus Sakei and yeasts Debaryomyces Hansenii) and honey allows shortening the ripening and drying technological process. A comparative analysis of manufactured raw-smoked sausages in terms of nutritional value makes it possible to state that manufactured raw-smoked sausages with the addition of honey meet the requirements of the standard. The results of the set of studies carried out in this work showed that the use of a composition of lactic acid bacteria and yeast with the use of honey as a source of carbohydrates will allow intensifying the technological process and improve the quality of finished products

Transnational Security of South Caucasus
Authors: TSKHOVREBADZE Tamta
Published: October 2023

Despite of occupying a comparatively small territory, The South Caucasus exhibit a bizarre cultural, religious, linguistic, ethnical diversity. The region is squeezed between Caspian and Black Seas, comprising the states of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Region has considerable interest from the global players of international politics since it occupies a key strategic location and frames a bridge between Asia and Europe through linking the Caspian Sea and Central Asia with the Black Sea and Western Europe. Furthermore, South Caucasus is an important transport and energy corridor, notably as a hydrocarbons transit route from Caspian Sea region to international markets.This paper examines general view of security architecture in South Caucasus with the aim of emphasizing most prominent security challenges and threats. It also assesses the transnational security challenges that the region faces, demonstrating the lack of regional cooperation and considers the potential for cooperation in the future. The central research question here is what are the most prominent transnational threats for the region and how can these threats be addressed? Is there enough individual effort for South Caucasian States to eliminate the threats or a basis for broader cooperation and efforts to collective security should be formed?

Where is the Boundary between Freedom of Expression and a Person’s Honor, Dignity and Business Reputation - Some Examples from the Georgian Court Practice
Authors: LAKERBAIA Tamar
Published: October 2023

Media law is a relatively new trend in the field of law, the importance of which is growing rapidly. The civilized world unanimously recognized the freedom of the press as the foundation of a democratic society. Equal importance is to ensure freedom of speech and expression as eternal and supreme human values and provide appropriate standards for their implementation. However, like most of the fundamental rights, freedom of expression is not absolute. It can be restricted, if it is necessary to protect the rights and dignity of others. The purpose of this paper is to examine the general legal principles of freedom of expression in Georgia and analysis of judicial practice in this area. Of particular importance is the conflict between the values between freedom of expression and the protection of honor and dignity of others. Specifically, the issue is where the boundary between these two fundamental rights.
The Significance of Southern Gas Corridor for European Energy Security - Myth or Reality?
Authors: CHURCHELAURI Ia
Published: October 2023

Taking into consideration the obvious fact that Kremlin`s threatening and manipulative rhetoric is increasingly loud and severe, energy security problem is accordingly high on the European Union agenda. The paper analyses the importance of the Southern Gas Corridor - a planned infrastructure project in terms of its role in improving the security and diversity of the EU’s energy supply by bringing natural gas from the Caspian region to Europe.

Authors: Pietraszuk Rafał
Published: October 2023

Do końca 2018 r. przysporzenia z obrotu kryptowalutami kwalifikowano do praw majątkowych. Z kolei od 1 stycznia 2019 r. zostały one bezpośrednio ujęte w przepisach ustaw podatkowych. Ustawodawca w ten sposób usankcjonował po części stan prawny wypracowany w ramach orzecznictwa. Obecnie zatem przychody ze sprzedaży kryptowalut są kwalifikowane odpowiednio do przychodów z kapitałów pieniężnych i zysków kapitałowych, z kolei zamiana jednej kryptowaluty na drugą jest wolna od podatku dochodowego.
